#crescent ask

[lunnar-chan]

did Crescent ever see what happens to Killer when Killer's soul "misbehaves"

(I mean when Nightmare "fixes" his soul)

He was afraid it would happen to him someday.

What is nightmare and killers relstionship with their son and each other from beggining to end. Does it change? Do they start to care or worsen?

I mean in time between crescents birth to way later on in the future

Unfortunately, even though I love Nightkiller, I realize that it's unhealthy ship. It has no «canonical» positive development, and Crescent's existence didn't change anything between them.

As I mentioned earlier, Crescent wasn't born out of love. That was the plan. The plan is to get a strong, perfect warrior who could inherit Nightmare's power.

According to the plan, at least one of the souls transfer that part of the power that Nightmare had to Crescent, then son's psyche needs to be broke - and he would get a deadly weapon. 

It wasn't difficult for Nightmare to sacrifice himself for the experiment. As a demigod, the exhaustion of one of the 999 souls was a small thing. He, himself, became Crescent’s bearer, allowing him to absorb all the darkness that he had, and Killer was the second test subject – as the most reliable of his followers. The most devoted. The most submissive. And if loyalty could be inherited, that would be a useful thing for Nightmare.

Of course, this also means that even weapons need to be taken care of, otherwise they will become dull. Crescent was fed, given knowledge and protected. He was not influenced in any way. Not now. Nightmare waited patiently until he was old enough to move on to the next stage.

Nightmare didn't punish the child physically. Didn't touch him at all. He acted differently. When little Crescent began to suspect what was going on, Nightmare started to break him. Slowly. Mentally. Set it up, so that his creation is corrupted enough, and he could be controlled like a puppet.

Nightmare wanted to be hated. He wanted Killer to be hated as well. The world, and everything to be hated by his son. It was profitable, because Nightmare was fed by negative. 

At first, Crescent was shocked to see how Nightmare punished and manipulated his subordinates. He began to understand what Nightmare wanted to make of him, and he got used to it. Over time, violence stopped scaring him. Now it was part of his life.

At the age of 10, he understood that he started hating both ”parents”. The experiment got first results.

Nightmare ordered Killer to engage the physical training for Cresent. Killer didn't mind, he did his job, smiling, but empty and detached, as if his whole life had been drained out of him. Yes, lifeless, like a doll... Crescent looked at him as if he was a black hole. And he hated it.

They spoke very rarely. They exchanged a couple of phrases during training. Nightmare forbade them to communicate and didn't allow them to be in the same place outside of training. But Crescent wasn't eager to chat anyway.

And then... then, when he got older, the realization pierced him. Killer was also a pawn. A weapon. Just like him. A broken doll, maybe not by Nightmare himself, probably somewhere else, but that information has been used in right direction.

That's what Nightmare wanted. The dolls can be controlled. Can be twist by the hinges, put in the right position, speak by the owner's voice. It's convenient. Killer was convenient.

Crescent found out quite late — Killer likes to draw backgrounds. He can play musical instruments. He often feeds the street cats.

That he might still be alive somehow.

An inspiration, a sparkle of hope ignited in Crescent's soul.

And actually… Crescent didn't really hate him. He didn't like him, definitely not. They don't have any family bonds. He would never call Killer as his father, and Killer would never call him as his son. Killer doesn't really care if he exists or not. He's been used and probably doesn't even remember it. He just takes Crescent as “one of his own”, nothing more. Nightmare told him not to hurt Crescent, but to protect, to train – and he obeys. He has no choice.

But it made Crescent feel a little better. It became easier to direct anger at someone who really deserved it.... at Nightmare.

You mentioned that Crescent picked up some killer habits, what would those be besides knives?

I think they could both stare.

Like, stare.

[lunnar-chan]

If Killer managed to escape with Color and Killer manages to get Crescent as well, they could form a bond? Like even if not strongest family Bond still closer

As for Killer, there is a chance that he and Crescent will become friends. It is unlikely Killer will be able to admit his paternity, by the circumstances... but they don't need it. Buddies? Yes, it sounds good.

Color... It's going to take a while for Crescent to figure out who he is and get used to him. But it feels quite like friends! I think Color could teach Crescent something, heal his psyche in some way. But, again, won't become a parent. For me, Color doesn't seem to be a parent in general (proven by Butterfly). But he would definitely help. Some kind of uncle vibe?

Oh, and knowing Crescent's nature, he wouldn't live in the same place with them.

[lunnar-chan]

I wonder how Crescent would feel about Killer escaping Nightmare. Would he be happy for him?

Well... "happy" is too loud a word.

Let's say he's okay with it. He doesn't have good relationship with Killer (unlike with Cross), so the thing Killer might run away with Color, he assumes, will be useful. He realized Killer could be different, although it took some time... hmm, years.

[lunnar-chan]

Sorry for bothering you. Which is Crescent's real mom? Is it Corrupted Nightmare or Passive Nightmare, because I heard they both are different people?

Of course, original Crescent's parent is Corrupted Nightmare. But! The actual answer is — both! Depends on your personal preferences. I mean, in every AU he exists, Nightmare might be with or without corruption. :3

Previously answered w my non-alcoholic drink of choice so here I shall say my go to order is a rum and coke! Captain Morgans my love

9. Favourite time of day and why?

Night tiiiiime - I'm immensely busy all the time but night time when everyone has gone to bed and I'm in my bed watching silly videos on my phone or tormenting my beloved mutuals w Thoughts of the Characters or reading fanfiction (pssst my dear beloved friend just posted a beautiful new yungi fic that you should go read rn). It's the only time I have to myself where no one will bother me and I can just go on my telly phone until I decide to sleep it's wonderful

Or else it's just the only free time I have to catch up on work like lesson plans hsdbbfbf

14. If you could give a TEDtalk on anything, what would you talk about?

So we don't rlly know each other but I am very much autistic and I have So Much Stray Kids information in my head but honestly? This week I have already delivered a beautiful monologue ranting about how Love Talk isn't Wayvs best track it's not in their top five and it's honestly not even in their top ten, people just like it because it's horny and slutty and I respect that but. Tldr you cannot tell me love talk is top five when the entire On My Youth album exists. I could do it. Happily. Angrily. Righteously.

18. Are you musical? Play any instruments or sing? Would you ever perform for an audience?

I grew up dancing! I did ballet from age three to age eighteen, jazz from seven to eighteen, tap about six years total and a year of hiphop (i was Not good at hiphop hdhdnfjf) and i loved it! My first onstage performance I was three and a half, and my most recent stage performance was either acting or poetry? I've performed my own poetry in [CAN'T DOXX MYSELF BUT IT'S REALLY PRESTIGIOUS AHHHHH] as part of the Arts Festival there when I was nineteen and I've had my own play performed - I'm not musical myself but I love the arts and performance, my whole family was major into theatre :3
