GUYS I PR’D IM SO HAPPY. I ACTUALLY DID SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD.

Part of me is looking at this and nodding in accomplishment. The other part thinks it's cringe. However I love it either way! This is Shotput and I'm putting the context for this under the cut!

So, Shotput is one of my shipkids from Eternal Ashes! He's Killer and Dream's only son, and he's really only a sudecgaracter to EA, but he's got a special place in the story too lmao.

Shotput (his real name is Shooting Star but he stopped responding to that name around age 10~11) was best friends with Reset, the main character of EA. Shot was meant to be a sort of bringer of peace, a child between former enemies, and a good influence for everyone around. Of course, Killer still worked for Nightmare and, while he no longer fought Dream directly, he still caused a lot of chaos. His loyalty laid with Nightmare. So, Dream (and by Dream I mean the combined effort of any AU who could babysit + Dream) raised Shotout practically on his own. Shot barely knew Killer, but he looked up to him a lot, because Killer did all the fun things that Dream said were bad. But even while Killer did 'bad things' he was still nice.

So, idk, I just thought this would be a fun way to bring my young!Shotput design to life before I went back to doing my Orchid piece (<- Orchid and Shotout canonically were made around the same, so they're nearly twins, even tho they're cousins. They hate eachother.). Killer loves Shotput, and later on in the story they get to bond more when Shotout moves to live with Killer, but at the point that this clip is meant to show? He doesn't get why they (the adults) all seem so angry with Killer all the time! (<- it's Because Killer, like, killed people. They don't want the lil guy around him lmao-)

And side note: Shotput has beef with Orchid because not only does Reset (his supposed bff) choose her over him to plan and hang out with, but Killer chose to stay with Night in Shot's youth, and Killer knows Orchid better than he does Shot. He resents Killer when he's older, but at this point he's just Baby!
