Not related to the main plot at all, except for Error, but after drawing Ink for the next ask, I wanted to design the ghostly versions of the three dead guardians. Fresh is here because despite replacing Ink and gaining his powers for only two months, he counts as another Guardian of Creativity.
They all have a personal vendetta against Nightmare. Fresh is the only one who can theoretically haunt him because Ink and Error are stuck inside Ribbon. Neither of those two are awake, although Error is semi-aware due to his sheer anger and determination.
This is probably the worst thing I could've posted on Error's birthday, huh.
Above is Greenteeth, my film adaptation of the short story by Gary Budden which can be read in his upcoming volume of short stories. It is currently up for a fantasy award and follows the pressures on a young woman in a struggling part of north London whose social worries begin manifest in more folkloric ways through the legend of…
Can we give people things? If so, may I give Aurora a weighted blanket (or anything else that could give her comfort?)

To Nightmare, and this is very, very rare for me to say:
You disappoint me.
You’ve spent so much time making plans, learning how the world works and what makes people tick, refining your knowledge, and you still can’t let go of the biases instilled by those who tormented you? Can’t even question them? Are you really your own person, or did you just become what they expected all along?
Even if it’s only for the purposes of spreading negativity, there are far more creative ways to do that. Ways that aren’t repeating the same old narrative. I’d give recommendations, but I don’t like you and you seem to be doing just fine taking over all by yourself.

He's gone this far with his evil acts and he is not stopping now. He prides himself as being above his Dreamtale bullies since in his mind, he's earned everything he has now.
I combined all these asks together since they were so similar and due to being repetetive and not really questions, I will not be accepting any more.
And you guys can give the characters things! They don't get the items in the plot, but for these asks, they can have it. Since you said "anything else that would give her comfort", I also gave Aurora a book that she should be reading at her age, which happens to be my favorite when I was a kid.
I actually have a mouse for Ink from this one game I got back into. His name is Broomie. If anyone recongizes the game, I would be both impressed and worried for my reputation.
Fanart for you <33 i dont use tumblr to post art..and I dont plan to sooo..im sending it to you this way sorry ㅠㅡㅠ
I honestly just had this in my head for a while, like ribbon wear goth (somewhere in the future ofc) once in a while and since (literal ink) is black it connects him to his inner ink (hope that made sense) and meet in their mind stranger things style.
Also inner Ink is still there just sleeping
Also the soul that ink is looking at is error and since error isnt concious while being partially "alive" he's just floating in the mind void while listening to everything. Painful, but idk rip in the chat.
We dont talk abt how i got lazy at the last few panels and made them human </3
Ah, thank you! I don't mind the ask at all! Actually I prefer it given that my mentions are so broken and I don't know how to fix them.
RIBBON IS SO CUTE! I love the goth dress. A lot of people seem to want a gothic Ribbon lol, probably because it fits next to Nightmare. Your art style is so pretty and I love both the skeleton and human eyes! Little Ribbon looks adorable and poor Ink is scarred.
I've never seen Stranger Things. This would probably take place a decade or several decades into the future as Ribbon and Nightmare live forever, and theortically Core failed to defeat them in this timeline. The pink cutesy dresses are extra out of place in a world where everything is pitch black, teal, and purple. So Ribbon starts wearing more gothic clothes, switches the color of his eye lights with an easy filter/Dust's help, and ends up finding he can talk to Ink by accident.
Also I draw Ink specfically with a hole in his neck and stitches on his mouth because that was his the physical state he was in when he "died" and became Ribbon. Error is still melted due to Nightmare's spell.
