Master Post

Synopsis: ⋆𖤓. Swapdream!Totality, an interpretation of the Swapdream AU by @owl-bones, focuses on a multiverse ruled over by Dream. He has tipped the balance so far in his own favor that he has almost complete and total control over most major AUs. Nightmare is weakened considerably by this and desperately works with a small team to restore the balance against all odds.

Hopefully this is okay to ask, 100% feel free to ignore if not (no hard feelings!), but today is my birthday, and I was wondering what Helios might do for a partner’s birthday? And what would he like us to do for his? When is his birthday, actually? :o I love your character sm sorry akdhenishwjwb

happy belated birthday! i hope the last week and change has been good to you ^^

if you're Helios' partner then there will be no escape from the mountain of gifts, fun activities, and general merriment that he'll have planned for you all day (with your permission and tastes in mind hehe). he loves a chance to celebrate his favourite person and will pull out all the stops to do so!

Helios doesn't actually celebrate his own birthday; it wasn't something the village (or him) wanted to celebrate since it was shared with Eos/Nightmare. instead they celebrated the day the tree fell and Helios became their 'savior'. (ᵕ ⚆_⚆)ゞ he didn't like it at first since he mostly associated that day with losing Eos, but over 500 years he's learned to celebrate it with everyone else. over that time the celebration has evolved to be more about his AU's prosperity rather than about him specifically, which also made that transition easier. but! if you were to give him a little gift on September 3rd he would get nostalgic and a little somber and want to spend some quiet quality time with you.

thank you for liking him!!

very messy ref for Helios' new design, figured he was due an update ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝)

his brother and killer are gonna get one soon too

[owl-bones]

is Eos nm flusterable?

extremely

[owl-bones]

@bonesofvaldis and i designed a swap dream for my fic and he lives in my brain now

his name is Helios and he is Terrible and i love him

refs under the cut

[owl-bones]

For the UTMV request thing: COuld you draw Swap!Dream?

absolutelyyyyy

[owl-bones]

finally figured out a design for this guy that i like (✿◡‿◡)

[owl-bones]

drew a scene from my fic in an aggie as a warmup (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)

[owl-bones]

For scientific purposes, what is Helios's type? 👁👁

while he prides himself on getting along with everybody, even those that challenge him (he finds them amusing), he is weak to someone who gets close to him and that he finds himself being genuine with

[owl-bones]

h,, helping helios preen his wings,, I am. very abnormal about this

this is such a cute idea

[owl-bones]

question abt either (or both) of ur dreamswap boys <333 I love them both sm

what would fluster them? what makes them utterly m e l t ? asking so I can. uh. definitely just do normal things. for sure (lying)

tell helios that his weakness doesn’t define him (and by extension, that his bones are pretty hehehehe)

eating all those golden apples and gaining too much power too quickly overloaded his body and his bones cracked. luckily all that new magic filled in the cracks and held him together, but now he’s got a bunch of gold scars showing off how weak he was. he covers them up, but it’s a sore spot for him

(there are many more ways to fluster his brother eos; beating him in a sparring match, giving him genuine compliments about his hobbies, helping him when he’s vulnerable, and a few others)

[owl-bones]

OH YOOOOOOO EOS LOOKS LIKE THAT TYPE OF JAPANESE POTTERY WHERE THEY BREAK SOMETHING AND REINFORCE IT WITH GOLD- kintsugi i think its called??? looks handsome on him either way

hehehe that's helios, but yes that was the inspiration for him!

[owl-bones]

I've got to ask what is Eos or swap nightmares type? And can we get a little more background on him please? Sorry if this was asked already

his type is someone that he feels safe around and that makes him laugh!

more info below the cut:

he’s a pretty standard swap nightmare, i think! he’s cynical and stand-offish, but craves connection with people. he’s just been dealt enough bad hands that he assumes the worst of everyone around him, so he doesn’t bother trying to form meaningful relationships. he does want to help people though, if only to feel useful and hold onto a glimmer of hope that maybe someone will like him. despite that, he takes his job as the guardian of negativity very seriously and tries his best to uphold the balance— even if his brother is constantly expanding his territory and eos is vastly outnumbered by his followers. this of course comes into conflict with his want to help people, as upholding the balance means often spreading negativity. so a lottttt of AUs consider him a menace/bad omen and he’s generally treated rather poorly. 😔 but hey, at least he has one friend (aka killer, who followed him one day and never left him alone)

there’s lots more to him and his brother but i want to expand on that in a fic someday so perhaps i will keep it secret for nowwwwwwww

also a plain version of the pic

[owl-bones]

he leaks corruption sometimes, he’s fine

[owl-bones]

Can you draw nightmare x reader, or passive nighty if possible

hope my passive swap nm is okayyy hehehe

[owl-bones]

ah,,,self insert requests,,/////

uhh anything with books and passive nightmare? or some cute banter on cigarette brands with dust 👉👈

yesssssss i think he’d like reading to people
