. ݁˖✦ STARSHIFT AU ✦ ݁˖.

aka the swap + good ending AU with the stars and bad sanses! Hi! It's 2026 and we're still coming up with new skeletons! As it should be ^⩊^! This AU is (to me) a fun side project that I'll be expanding upon whenever I feel like it! I'm pretty busy so don't expect consistency or full-time commitment, this is all for fun! I'll be pinning and using this post as a place to compile and link all pieces of art, asks and mayybeee writing(???) related to the AU! I have a particular vision for the story and characters, so please don't feel bummed out if you suggest something cool only for me not to implement it, but just like any ''canon'', it's fine to make up headcanons and have different interpretations of events/ characters! I'm not gonna devalue any content I see if it doesn't match one to one to what's in my head lmao, so don't worry, just be nice and respectful, and tag your shit properly!!!! The tag for this AU is #starshift utmv ! Have fun! ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹

★ [ FEBLUEARY END OF WEEK #3 ] ★

* yeah I know it’s March. I’ve been burnt out with school and I haven’t really been able to post or draw or do anything ~_~ I want to be able to be a good force for this community and draw fanart for everyone, but I’m realizing that might not be possible. It’s very difficult to keep up on a daily basis. I know nobody’s forcing me to do this but I like doing it because I don’t really like drawing for myself and drawing for other people makes me happy but I get exhausted. Reblogs appreciated

TW BLOOD UP AHEAD ON DAY 19 + BRIGHT COLORS

★ [ DAY #15 “BAD GUYS”

For @tymamomimi

* this is the first one I started and the last one that I finished it doesn’t look like it, but that’s because I did the line art first, but then I didn’t have the effort to color it or do really anything with it, but I’ve been seeing the vigilante stars around and I think that they’re really cool and I felt like it would be an injustice to not include them!

★ [ DAY #16 “SENTRY”

For @sergeant-cell (why do you spell your username like this?)

* I became friends with this guy because he had the balls to tag me to join a magma :3 I wasn’t sure what to do for this day so I messaged him… I was intending on drawing his version of swap anyway anyways so yaayy

★ [ DAY #17 “CHIBI”

For @bonezonejpg

* I really wanted to draw their cutie for this day. It seemed fitting!

★ [ DAY #18 “MERCY”

For @overflowofcrows

* i’ve become utterly infatuated with this person’s art like I think they have converted me into a clue shipper…

★ [ DAY #19 “LAUGHTER”

For @chinelada

* I feel like I was channeling my inner madness with this one

★ [ DAY #20 “FREEDOM”

For @oobbbear

* wasn’t sure what to do for this day, but I knew I wanted to include this person‘s version of blue into this because I just adore them and their art style like their use of shape language speaks to me on so many levels and I felt like I really wanted to draw this for them and I’m honestly proud of this one and how it came out

★ [ DAY #21 “DÉJÀ VU”

For @ricekrispies82

* I was inspired by a comic they made for this one and so I put a lot of symbolism in it and if you look back at their comic, then you’ll get it! I mean, it’s pretty self-explanatory but still I put a lot of effort into this ^^

★ [ FEBLUEARY END OF WEEK #3 ] ★

* I did a lot of playing with my art style for this I hope everyone can appreciate my efforts ;_; I’m hoping to get week four out tomorrow but I doubt that that’s going to happen

[chinelada]

THEY PLAYED DESTROYA MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

[chinelada]

artblock is kicking my ass

have some random sketches <3

[chinelada]

my autistic ass hyperfixating on dmc despite knowing damn well my shitty laptop cant run a single game from the series 💔💔💔💔

[chinelada]

Oh my god your scene gave me goosebumps, the idea that Dream will perpetually be younger than Nightmare, ha Nightmare found him corrupted, that he probably thinks his brother is gone and- Ughh its just such a scene, I could almost see it it'd paint such a scene, the heartbroken stare down with what seems like the most peaceful angel

tyyy!! im like, rlly rusty w writing, so im glad it traumatized u eheheh <:3 jk!!

yeagh :((( even if dream has a certain level of awareness while the corruption is at the front, it'll never amount to the real experience of living. no matter whether they're able to fight the corruption off for good, and both him and nm will forever mourn all the moments they didn't get to spend together, all the shared experiences, memories, feelings, there'll always be this empty space where the other once was. theyre kinda like noelle and dess in that aspect!

also, if you take into account how much longer their lifespans are, even longer than monsters naturally, they're truly the only everlasting companion the other has- so nm essentially spent centuries alone, thinking dream was gone for good, his body puppettered by a creature he unleashed, while every person he could've get to know passes away from age

he's not doing good!!! put that man in therapy!!!!!!

[chinelada]

human mtt but theyre all butch lesbians

[chinelada]

GHRAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOUR SHIFT AUUUU, Share more details on Nightmare?? He was awake entirely when Dream wasn't how is he handling the Corrupted Dream? Does he think Dream is dead or awake? How young were they? Poor Dream couldn't age properly besides him :(

yep!! he's been awak the entire time! and he's not doing good!

so basically, in the dreamtale canon they were like,,, 6??? which is kinda baffling to me like 😭 they were bullying a toddler nightmare fr got the naruto treatment, which is SO unbelievably funny to me

so i've tweaked a Lot abt the og lore- including a whole new timeline, so the apple incident happened wayyy later- they were around 113 in fact! to us very old, but to them very very young still

after dream turned to stone, nm legitimately thought he'd died, and he lived with that guilt for decades- until one day, on one of his visits to his brother's grave, the statue wasn't there.

Vines and foliage upturned, an imprint left on the soil where the body of his brother once stood in eternal stillness. If not for his eye frantically scouring the thicket in panic, he'd have missed the path carved through the golden flowers, trailing off into the forest.

Nightmare spared no second, his legs already leading him into a sprint.

His soul thrummed and ached- it hoped- for the first time in more than four decades- his soul dared to hope.

He abruptly skidded across the dirt, his breath labored, his knees giving out. A few paces ahead stood a familiar figure, their golden cape fluttering in the gentle wind, shimmering under the sun.

Their stature was so similar to his own- but smaller, younger. The features softer.

A warm smile on his face, a golden circlet around his head-

Tar running down his left cheek. Down his vertebrae. Wrapped around his left arm completely. The breeze stilled- the world silent save for the constant dripping of black liquid onto the earth.

Nightmare choked. His scar burned.

><><><><><><><><><><><

awwgh im so out of practice in writing 😭😭 but yea!! he freaked tf out!!

Basically- around 40 ish years later, 'dream' wakes up- at that moment it was all corruption, no dream. the real dream only gains full consciousness for the first time like, 200 years after that :^) even then its for a very short period of time, and he was exhausted afterwards

nm also freaked out at that, my trauma king <33 i love putting that man in situations

[chinelada]

Could I mayhaps proposition having the starshift tag be #starsshift utmv or something similar to avoid other fandom's work in the tag?

alrightie ^^ 👍

[chinelada]
