I know ya'll probably don't care about my OC but if you think that's going to stop me from yapping about him you are WRONG
Anyway Time Travelers AU Toxicity ( and Hate by extension, who belongs to @/6agentgg9 ? I think ? I keep forgeting their username ). They are not going to appear very soon (if at all), but I still wanted to talk about them and their kinda role in the AU ( also if you don't know Toxicity is my OC, info about him are linked in my masterpost )
@ancha-aus I have no idea if this would interest you so I'm tagging you just in case for when you come back from your trip <3
Aaaaand I will be putting this under the cut
So first of all they are both French in Nightmare's time period ( 17th century ), Hate is a noble and Toxicity is a bourgeois and a doctor
Hate is a noble but he isn't a "conventional" one, he doesn't go to banquets, doesn't go to balls, doesn't participate in receptions, doesn't host receptions either, ... you basically never see him unless it is an official event organized by the king where presence is obligatory
He really just prefers the intimacy and tranquility of his home and even has as little domestics as possible, just enough to help around but otherwise he likes it better when he's alone and peaceful
But even without going out, there comes a moment where he falls sick and needs a doctor, and since he ain't going out like that, he requests that one comes to his place to heal him
And Toxicity gets chosen ! Yey ! He's reputed to be quite good and doesn't live that far so he gets called and comes over to treat Hate as good as he can because Hate is a noble so it means he's important and shouldn't be neglected (not that he neglects his other patients, just that he needs to be even more careful with this one)
So anyway everything goes well, Toxicity goes home and Hate soon feels better
But, Toxicity gets called again some time later, Hate feels unwell and wants the doctor's opinion, so Toxicity goes, gives advice for him to feel better, and leaves once again, until he is called back some time later for something else, then again later, and later, and later, and later, ... until he just asks Hate "are you going to invite me for some tea before or after you run out of imaginary illnesses ?" And Hate is like "oh shit I've been caught" like dude you were never sleak to begin with
But yeah eventually Hate does invite him over for a casual tea ( do note that his domestics don't really know what to do because it's the first time there is someone over ?? For tea ???? What ????? ) and they start seeing each other outside of consultations
Now since homosexual mariage is still forbidden, they obviously can't marry, but what they can do is Hate can say he's offering him a place to study and pay for his office kinda in a patron way and Toxicity lives with him
Now the great question: what do they add to the story ? Well when Nightmare starts to kinda free himself from his mother's conditioning and starts being his sassy self instead, nobles are gonna come less to his place and his reputation will change, and Hate will hear about him, and a noble who tells other nobles to fuck off on a daily basis ? He wanna see that, so when a tea is organized with the few nobles still present and with which Dream and Nightmare kept a good relationship, Hate goes, meets Nightmare, and the two start chatting and instantly bond over shit talking about the nobility
The two become best friends quite rapidly and hey did Nightmare say he was sick ? Hate knows a very good doctor who could help ! Meet his totally not husband who can provide you with an official diagnosis (and by extent open the way to more soul and magic study) ! Dw the consultation is on the house :)
So yeah they will maybe have some relevance at the end of the story but I wanted to talk about them now because it is my AU and my OC and I shall be unstoppable
Baby lucent!! This is one of my babies, and his name is lucent!!! He's the oldest in the whole family by that. i mean, he has other siblings, but for now, we focus on lucent☆
Lucent has star pupils☆ also his star pupils can get bigger if he's excited!!☆. Lucent, when he was a baby he liked drooling on things, especially on his da (killer)
Also, neither nightmare, killer, and hate go by mom or ma or mother. Instead, they go by dad, da or father
Nightmare is father, killer is da and hate is dad, plus I feel like hate wouldn't like being called "mom".
Lucent used to call killer Dada back then, but as he grew up, he called him da!
Lucent and nightmare relationship isn't that bad infact baby lucent loves his father. Also, nightmare wouldn't admit it, but he can't help but love the baby also♡ reason lucent looks so happy with nightmare is because he gets a soothing feeling from him even when nightmare tries to intimidate lucent, lucent would giggle finding his father "funny"
Nightmare likes keeping baby lucent around mostly because of the negativity that lucent gives off. Despite lucent being giggly and smiley, he can still give off negative emotions. These genes came from hate
Another thing that came from hate is lucent animal behavior like purring and little meows and coos, lucent can also growl, but rarely does that!
Also, lucent is a very small baby!
I'm not sure if I said this, but nightmare and lucent like each other company nightmare sometimes takes lucent from his crib to spend time in his office basically cradle him with his tentacle as he sleeps!☆
God i really had a lot to talk about nightmare and lucent relationship haha
