More tiny things about Drifting Inbetween (the Nights Into Dreams!au):
• Sun and Moon are twins, and like most twins they have a playful rivalry that extended to their fighting skills as much as their duty tormenting Dreamers and beyond. Sun was very good at his paraloop skills and powerful attacks that were not merciful. Moon's skills lied in his quick, stun attacks, hitting a target quickly and getting out of their reach before attacking again.
• Psychologically, they had very different ways of terrorizing the Dreamers. Sun is a master manipulator, he would dig around in your subconscious and find something you are sensitive about and bring it to the forefront. It never had to be something that was big, but even if it's the smallest, most minuscule doubt, he could make it into your entire nightmare, and something you'd dwell about in your waking hours. Moon on the other hand was all about the slow creeping dread, nightmares that are a slow boil that builds up until the Dreamer doesn't realize the true terror before its too late. Dawning horror was really Moon's cup of tea and he prided himself on being the sibling that took the longest time with his schemes but had a successful streak. Eclipse was a nice combination of both tactics (he taught them) and loves to use manipulative, dream gaslighting and drawn-out horror to get his jobs done. Over the last few years however, his tactic has changed, becoming more stilted towards hurtful, malicious emotional attacks with an undercurrent of genuine fear, latching onto feelings of inadequacy and helplessness.
• Eclipse, Sun, and Moon are quite the cuddlebugs. Moon loves holding onto things and people, and he will grab onto his brother's hand, shoulder, or Y/N and proceed to hold them like a pillow or wrap himself around them like ivy up a pole. His favorite cuddle buddy is a Shleep he named Dom <heh> and together they tend to take naps in random sunny spots at the Dream Gate. Sun is a huge hugger, even before he rebelled it wasn't uncommon to find him slinging his arm in a side hug around Jackal, giving excited pre-mission jump hug attacks to Eclipse, or lazily hovering above Moon like he was getting a piggyback ride. He loves to give spinning hugs, paralooping with his target and nuzzling into their face or neck. Eclipse is/was someone who appreciates when others reach out to him for affection, as he doesn't give it easily. He is self conscious about his image and role as one of Wizeman's higher-ranking Nightmaren so he doesn't actually try to be affectionate with others at least not physically. He prefers to give gifts, from extravagant items to small and simple, but each is always tailored to the person that is getting the gift.
• NiGHTS was never on Eclipse's radar before he defected away from Wizeman. As one of Wizeman's generals he knew NiGHTS only as far as work itself. Once NiGHTS began to gradually pull away he would talk to the Twins often, as they were curious about what he would do as a General equal yo their brother and what he'd seen. Eclipse was not worried about it until Moon became introspective and Sun started to speak with Dreamers. Eclipse threatened NiGHTS to leave and when he finally did, Reala going off to chase him down and destroy him, he watched his brothers become more distant. Eclipse fully blames NiGHTS for turning his brothers to favor humans and, on the few chances they do cross paths, Eclipse with attack him with little to no warning.
• Y/N's roommates have personalities of roommates I had in college that I liked! One was very sweet and motherly, got us out of a lot of crazy situations, but still maintained a fun and creative down-to-earth persona. The other is a more chaotic and rebellious character, encouraging thinking outside of the box and much more ridiculous solutions to problems you would have never considered...and they work too! Both of these roommates we're fantastic friends of mine and they really did help me get through those first 2 years of college!
• Y/N and I share a common issue; we can't lucid dream without it getting horrible and the same goes for sleep paralysis. I've had a lucid dream once and it was a horrible experience, 0/10 not recommending. Sleep paralysis also yielded some fairly terrible results and multiple times because I'm not lucky. I won't tell you the dreams because they show up in the story and I don't want to spill the beans.
• Y/N, Sun, and Moon share 2 braincells. I have made this trio the ones that focus more on the situation at hand and very jump first and think about the consequences later. 2 people handle the braincells it's just a crapshoot as to who, but even worse is when one person has both and has to play wrangler. You have to have one of those baby bear backpack leashes and then you're being tugged around in two directions.
