COMPLETE

Read on Wattpad and AO3

NIGHTMARE is a sadistic bastard, that's just a fact. His goal is to corrupt Dream's soul and prevent the Doodlesphere from feeling positive emotions ever again. He has a new plan to do it. His brother is smart enough to know his games, but one of his friends isn't.

INK doesn't know what to think of the letter on his nightstand. It only added onto the strange missing things and nightmares he's been having. Was Nightmare asking him on a date? Pfft, that was ridiculous, there was no way- wait. When did he get so pretty? When did Nightmare get so perfect?

DREAM has the hope of the entire multiverse in his hands. With their best friend and Protector of the Doodlesphere missing, they have to do both Ink's job and their own, along with making sure no one else goes missing. He's stressed and exhausted, but he can't rest now. Come on Dream, stay . . . awake . . .

Clarification on Ribbon's Happiness

Ribbon and Goth!Ribbon Picrews

[abhainnwhump]

One question, how would nightmare react if ribbon (Ink) had the clothes of eternal sugar cookie and her personality?

So I had to look up who this was. I've heard the name, but Cookie Run Kingdom is another game I know nothing about, so I'm getting all of this off the wiki.

Clothes? Not that bothered. Nightmare would find it rather pretty even if it isn't his exact taste, it still fits the pink feminine aesthetic he was going for.

Personality-wise? She seems to be very similar to Dream and he'd hate that. He wouldn't stand for the want to spread happiness and fix Ribbon's behavior as soon as possible.

[seth-whumps]

hey do you guys want some whumpy song recommendations [frothing at the mouth, trembling, shaking, uncontrollable tremors through my hands that white-knuckled cling to the back of the chair, i am struggling to remain standing] i have some that I'm normal about,

[abhainnwhump]

Ignore the title, it's genuinely a really good song, especially for a creepy whumper.

[livelaughwhump]

"You should be writing."

Me: I am. *points to the numerous picrews I've made of new ocs that have absolutely nothing to do with my writing*

[abhainnwhump]

It's very important to the plot.

*points to the three builds I'm jumping between working on in Minecraft*

[abhainnwhump]

Caretaker doesn't believe Whumpee is able to be saved. They're too far gone, too broken, and if they were healing, it should've happened months or years ago. Caretaker gave up hope of ever seeing their friend again.

But one day, through some random, inconsequential activity, a spark of Whumpee's old personality comes out. Whumpee doesn't even notice/know it's their old self, but Caretaker catches on. They start to feel the hope that they lost years ago that maybe if not fully, they can get part of their dear Whumpee back.

[abhainnwhump]

Cut a Whumpee's veins with a common household object to give them paranoia. A file folder, a book, divorce papers, etc.

[abhainnwhump]

Whumper giving Whumpee a blood transfusion with a type other than their own, making them wish they bled out on the floor instead of being " healed".

Basically, the blood clumps up and oxygen can't go through, so the heart can't get oxygen and leads to failure.

Use that as you will.

[seth-whumps]

weakening curses disguised as expensive gifts. rings that suck out the life force of the bearer. bracelets that seep a sickness into their veins. chains that drain magic out of the prisoner to use as a conduit. innocent looking runes that nullify healing. a brooch siphoning energy from the heart. swords that drink the wielder's blood as much as their foe's. knight whumpees faltering and stumbling, royals leaning on walls through surges of dizziness and illness and unstoppable fatigue, a servant's hands halt their collapse, struggling to stay awake...........

[defire]

That thing where the character got their ribs beat the hell out of, but they're being stoic about it, and then someone frendly slaps their back or side and they just cry out in pain and curl in.

[abhainnwhump]

Angry Caretaker believing they finally captured the person who brought Whumpee so much trauma, only to realize they have the wrong person. They were only within proximity of the scene.

Bonus points if they realize they're acting just as violent as Whumper was to Whumpee.

[abhainnwhump]

This is why I don't watch movies (not really but you know).

[painsandconfusion]

Medical fact

If your face is too injured to put a breathing tube through your nose or mouth, hospitals will (rarely) insert it through your eye socket and down through your sinuses to your lungs.

Go do something whumpy with that. Or don’t. Save us all the horror.

[abhainnwhump]

"No, don't!" Whumpee 2 shouted, stopping Whumpee from entering the dark staircase.

Whumpee itched to explore the strange darkness through the doorway. The question of what was in the basement kept them up at night, and distracted them from the situation. "Why not?"

"That's where Master takes the bad pets." Whumpee 2 clawed at their sorry excuse of a sweater, glancing around in case Whumper was around the corner. "There were more before me, a lot. Once they misbehave to much, they go down there, then they never come back out."

[abhainnwhump]

Whumpee needing to take a shower to get all the blood off of them, watching it pour into the drain.

Is it after months of torture, finally in a safe place with Caretaker outside the bathroom door? Do they finally take the chance to cry and let it all out?

Or are they still in Whumper's place, getting a brief break because they don't like blood all over their nice tile floors? Are they zoned out? Panicking? Disgusted with themself?

[abhainnwhump]

By about 2/3 of the vote, a separate blog for Imperare won, so now @imperareofficial exists! All UTMV content will be posted there for now on and I just put Nightmare's character reference sheet up.

I'm still keeping the "I did not torture that skeleton officer" name up because it's funny.

[abhainnwhump]

Whumper putting a gun to Whumpee' s head and forcing them to drive to their own torture/grave.

Bonus points for it being over flimsy bridges or cliffs.

[abhainnwhump]

Whumpee wonders and how and why they didn't notice Whumper's red flags earlier. If they did, they wouldn't have agreed to go drinking with them, they wouldn't have been chained up and beaten in their basement, and they still blame themself for being ignorant post-rescue.
