So instead of working on the actual fanfic (I'm at Nightmare's intro in my doc and it is daunting), I just sat down and stream-of-consciousness wrote about a thousand words of ecological details for Reaper leviathans in my setting.
I will probably end up doing the same for the others at some point as well.
90% of this information will likely never appear in Scrimshaw and has next to nothing to do with the current story. It's just me being an absolute geek about speculative biology and worldbuilding.
...might post later this week if I can clean it up into something somewhat readable.

never asked or made requests before, at least I don’t think, and idk if it’s been asked, but…
Killer and how he would react to a very bitey partner? Like, chews on everything including him kind of thing?
Hellooo! Thanks for the ask, I'm glad that you're here! <3
(More below the cut!)

You two are a match made in heaven.
Killer ALSO has a habit of nibbling and biting affectionately! You two can often be found getting into competitions of who can bite the other the most. Then Killer usually turns this into who can leave the most marks...
And considering he's made of bone, uh. Ouch.
Killer loves all the attention you give him; he can take what he deals out and isn't phased by the pinches and pain that often come with bites. Honestly, he enjoys it.
In his eyes (or eye sockets?), biting is a symbol of you wanting to mark him as yours, which makes him feel ever so slightly feral. Because aw, his cute lil human wants to mark him? Adorable, c'mere right now.
It's mainly a monster thing; monsters are very big on marking what's theirs. While yes, some of them are more subtle and less-instinct-driven than others, most monsters enjoy leaving some sort of mark of their presence, whether it be a physical mark (ex. bite marks) or an invisible one (ex. their scent). It's instinctual. Killer just so happens to be someone who craves marking you more than the average monster would.
Therefore, giving Killer a lil nibble or bite is akin to an acknowledgement of his natural instincts and wants, which he does enjoy.
Just be aware that you may come out of this with marks of your own. You have been warned.
If you also chew on things other than him, Killer might tease and compare you to a teething puppy or something similar, earning you an animal-themed nickname in the near future. Otherwise, he doesn't care, do whatever you want, boo.
Killer is surprisingly relaxed when he's in Stage 1 (compared to Stage 1.5 and 2, anyway); as long as you aren't putting yourself in danger or giving someone else too much of your attention, he's vibing.
hey how come all my writing inspiration comes to me when i've been trying to sleep for two hours, and then goes away when i wake up in the morning. how is that fair. i had ideas when i went to bed and now they're gONE--
the biggest compliment a writer can receive is waking up to a new follower spam-liking your entire catalogue. like welcome to the library of alexandria homegirl hope you enjoy the stay
Dream is an introvert and Nightmare is an extrovert. I don’t know how I didn’t realize that sooner because they make way more sense when I conceive of them like that.
Nightmare is a social leech. His powers are literally him getting energy from other people, he latches on to people and refuses to let go to the point he seems desperate. We tend to forget that he actually did make friends as a kid but he’d just end up losing them due to the toxic environment and it’s literally framed as “if only he had a friend…” as apposed to needing people to leave him alone. He also puts himself in leadership roles which actively requires him to interact with and have people around him. He gets extremely upset when anyone leaves so he ends up being very possessive of the few relationships he manages to have because it matters to him to have those relationships.
Dream is rather consistently shown to get overwhelmed by people as it’s often more of a moral obligation for him to be interacting with them. He’d run off to be completely on his own in order to feel better. People get energy from him not the other way around. He also tends to get over relationships ending fairly quickly, like he’s moved on from Ink and he’s never been shown to miss the villagers at all. He gets overwhelmed by other people’s feelings and gets awkward with intimacy.
“Everyone who thinks books will make women date assholes underestimates us. If stories hypnotize people, why isn’t everybody terrified movies will turn boys into drag-racing assassins? I don’t want to fix the guy, I want to watch the murder show.”

I very specifically remember being inconsolable and hysterical over some Marvel movie with somebody killing(?) the Hulk or whatever. I may have been 18? 16? Whatever year that movie was released—not that I'll be bothered to look it up.
It was when I was on a new hormone treatment for my ovarian disorder, and my emotions weren't handling it lightly HAHA.
Reread "The Book Thief," which I will safely say is my favorite book of all time, a few years ago after not touching it in a while.
I've read it a dozen times or more and somehow that last reading broke me in a way it never has before. Snot on my face, audibly sobbing, my dog thought i lost his mind.
I've been scared to reread it since; for some reason I've become far more of a crybaby in my 20's than I EVER was as a kid.
I have been absolutely LOVING the fic Scrimshaw by @mayumara-writes lately. It's a Bad Sanses x Reader fanfic based in Subnautica, and Killer has my heart omg <33
I highly recommend checking it out and supporting the creator! Her writing is so lovely 🫶
AaaahHHHH? What the fuck one pf my favorite artists on here is doing cute as fuck artwork of my fic?! This is ADORABLE and just completely made my day! God this is EXACTLY how I picture the first close encounter in chapter 3 going too.
This is absolutely incredible, I love it so much <3<3<3
