🖋 hi!!

🖋 : a couple potential plot/dynamic ideas || plots meme

Hello hello! I was delighted to see you reach out; I really admire and look up to your writing style. Here are a few dynamic/plot ideas I would love to explore with your DSMP muses (but I’d be down to hear about other combos as well)!

George and Wilbur! I love these two. I’ve written them before for a zombie apocalypse AU in DMs with an old friend of mine. Safe to say I was obsessed. You’d think their personalities would clash, and sometimes they do, but they can also really get along when it counts. Resourceful, practical, determined (but also sometimes stubborn)… what’s not to love? Would be thrilled to see them in situations where they initially don’t like each other but are forced to cooperate.

Puffy and Niki! I’m still learning how to write Puffy, but I think these two are really sweet together. I would jump at the chance to try out their dynamic. I to this day think about their canon flower shop. A modern AU where they’re running that place together would be awesome. I’d even enjoy an interaction in canon where they return to what remains of the flower shop while reminiscing. Then again, I am a sucker for angst, so give me heartbreak aplenty and I’m always happy.

Dream and Wilbur! Am I a Wilbur enthusiast who will do any dynamic involving him? …Maybe. Can you blame me? Probably not. Two charismatic “villains” interact, what will they do? Cause trouble, that’s for sure! Give me AUs where they cooperate, AUs where they’re at each other’s throats, and AUs where they’re strangers meeting for the first time. I don’t mind, I just want more of them. It’s always fun to explore what makes them tick and the influence they have on one another’s minds.

I’ll do way more than what I’ve listed here, but maybe this made some ideas spin? If so, please reach out! I’d love to interact (once I get over my initial starstruck-ness haha)

[unfounded-daydreams]

Thinking about Punz’s involvement with the Egg. I know not a lot of people enjoyed that arc, but personally, I thought it was always interesting. Even though I wasn’t there watching the streams live (I read recaps instead), I liked the effect the Egg had on characters and dynamics. So! Here are some Punz-related headcanons about it.

Some people claim Punz is an agent of chaos. I don’t think this is the case. They’re shown to get bored easily, and don’t mind having a little fun from time to time, but do they crave instability? No. That’s why they worked with Dream — they were won over by the idea of reuniting the server as “one big happy family”. Drunz share similar ideologies and beliefs, hence their cooperation.

Then why join the Egg? If he didn’t crave reckless abandon, what drew him in? He was possessed only for a short period of time and even then was shown to express emotions outside of corruption. A good example of this is Tommy’s death. It was, to Punz, bittersweet in some way, and this is emphasized when they and the rest of the Eggpire celebrated it. He wasn’t genuinely feeling guilt, though. No. He merely implied it was weird to celebrate because he had saved Tommy.

But Punz had never “saved” Tommy. That was an act. Tommy paid him more, but he was always loyal to Dream. We know this from the finale. That’s the curious thing about Eggpire!Punz — he was still acting like a neutral mercenary under the Egg’s influence. And I think that tells us a lot about his priorities and what the Egg offered him.

Other characters were promised power, security, relationships… And if Punz, while under its influence, placed emphasis on his neutral facade, that meant upholding Dream’s plan was important to him. Everything would’ve fallen apart if he revealed he never cared about Tommy. He desired to help Dream even then.

So the Egg must’ve promised him that as well.

Dream was after the power and control necessary to keep the server “together”. Punz wanted to help, to stand by Dream’s side through thick and thin. If the Egg ensured Dream’s safety — and if it guaranteed Punz would get the power they needed to be of use to Dream — then that’s why Punz caved. We see it happen, and we see how fickle they are with their loyalty to the Eggpire. After all, they’re on the fence the whole time about whether it can actually uphold its promises.

When it becomes clear the Egg is failing, Punz drops it. They don’t even attend the Red Banquet. They’ve moved on, knowing their efforts are better spent elsewhere, like preparing for Dream’s escape and spying on the other server members. If the Egg can’t give them what they’re after, they’ll take matters back into their own hands yet again.

It’s nevertheless fascinating the lengths they were willing to go to for Dream. I may be missing a lot of counterpoints, but I think the gist holds true. …Then again, I’m the type of person who could ramble for hours about Drunz’s dynamic and how much Punz cared for that sopping-wet cat. Maybe I’m biased.

[wctchers]

👁️‍🗨️With how bare Dream had been in the prison... they'll take any grasp at control that they can. The comfort and familiarity that the mask and hood bring. After all, before everything... Dream had been a creature of shadows. The darkness being a friend in a way to the shapeshifter. Sometimes Dream questions why the mercenary stays, why they continue to serve them- that isn't right, continues to cooperate with them. Even when Dream hadn't been able to pay them once... the mercenary had simply brushed it off and told them to just 'pay them double next time'. Which had of course, but they had been more then ready for the other to drop the deal.

But right now, Dream doesn't think about it at all.

Behind their mask, they raise a brow as Punz comments about weighting the risks and saying its worth it. They don't believe fae but they aren't about to say so. After all the lengths Punz has gone to for them... it's almost absurd in their mind. Again, something they don't think about. After all, they aren't completely in their right mind... haven't for awhile- but especially after the months of torture and pain that they have been through. Their tail twitches slightly as they tilt their head, looking towards them from the corner of their eye before shifting to make sure his arm guards are on secure enough; although his hand is trembling and he is trying not to curse in his mother tongue.

Of course some words still slip out. "⎎⎍☊☍- ☊-☊⍜⋔⟒ ⍜⋏..."

He stops for a moment when Punz comments on how a lot has happened. A hiss leaves them before letting out a breath as they shake their head. "...Whatever you think is important enough that could impact the plan."

[unfounded-daydreams]

Truth is, Punz didn’t expect to get so attached. If people knew, he’d be called an idiot by every server member… or worse. They’re sure that includes Dream. But at some point, he stopped caring. Call it ignorance, call it obsession, call it loyalty. Maybe it’s none of that, or maybe it’s all and then some. A crude combination of resilience and stubbornness keeps Punz by Dream’s side. They’ve always shared similar beliefs, similar goals, and if he had to guess, that’s why he started caring.

It isn’t why he continues to care, though. It isn’t why their smile wavers as Dream’s hand trembles, either. Even if Punz comes off as noncommittal, selfish, and overly audacious, they admit they have a soft spot for certain people. Loyalties are fickle unless built on trust, and few truly win their favor. The ones that do, however, rarely lose it.

Icy blue eyes settle on Dream as they curse, but there’s more behind shimmering glaciers than one might expect.

“There was the Egg,” Punz hums when prompted. “But I feel that’s mostly over and done with by now.” What else could be relevant? “Sapnap, George, Karl, and a few others now reside in Kinoko Kingdom, which has been steadily growing since its foundation. There’s also Las Nevadas,” they pause, thinking it over, “and Snowchester, of course, decided to declare independence. All these factions pose a current, decent threat.”

After a moment’s hesitation, they hold out their hand, an offer to assist with the arm guards. “Let me help,” they request. “Last thing we need is for the situation to get any worse.” Situation. Meaning, Dream’s injuries. They do not say this to discredit his ability to care for himself. It’s only logical to assist when the plan so heavily relies on Dream’s health. But they were never as eloquent of a speaker, never as clever with their words. Expressing themself is difficult when they only know bluntness.

“I need to keep busy when I talk anyway,” they add, and it’s true. It’s common for them to shift and fidget, the strings of their jacket and the pendant of their necklace frequently rubbed between fingers. Why not be productive with that restless energy instead?

♡ + dancing, which of your muses are proficient in dancing? What is their favourite type of dance if they have one, and if they aren’t proficient in dance; how would they be if they had to dance? ouo

♡ + dancing || headcanon meme

In alphabetical order with my current loudest muses… here we go!

Callahan

When it comes to dancing, Callahan certainly tries. Quiet vibing in the corner, however, doesn’t really count. That said, he likes to bop his head to all sorts of genres. Heavy metal, loose classical… it doesn’t matter. Good music is good music, and though he can’t dance to it on a technical level, he enjoys it nonetheless.

Dream

I’ve always loved making Dream a surprisingly good dancer. He’s more intuitive than practiced, however. No set style. He doesn’t bother to spend hours in front of a mirror getting the moves right, either.

But! Throw a partner into the mix, and suddenly he’s trying to predict their every move. How can he best steal their breath away? This remains the case even if his intentions are less than pure. See, if he can leave a lasting impact on his partner, he considers it a win. What’s better than lingering in even your enemy’s thoughts, driving them mad with your memory? Egotistical Dreamie would settle for nothing less.

Then again, I’m a sucker for those kinds of tropes. Give me Dream spinning around someone he claims to loathe until they’re both out of breath and dizzy with emotion. All according to plan… Except, is it really?

George

Whether George can dance or not depends entirely on the AU. From a canon POV, he can. Just not perfectly. Small hiccups are to be expected. He prefers dancing to slower tunes for that reason. Anything fast-paced is bound to leave him floundering on the dance floor.

And when he’s with someone? Through tinted goggles, he gets lost in his partner’s eyes. The feeling of their hand in his and the heat swirling between them is enough to have him lose focus. He’ll end up stepping on their toes sooner rather than later, much to his chagrin. Muttered apologies are barely audible — he wishes he was better at this sorta thing.

In other AUs, I’ve written him as an actual, trained dancer. But as a general rule of thumb: he’s easily distracted when there’s too much on his mind. It’s part of the reason he’s so likely to zone-out; but that’s a topic for another day.

Punz

Punz is a big dancer. Not only is it a cultural thing for many fae, but his bee-like instincts compel him to wiggle from time to time when he’s trying to communicate or express something. Dance-emphasis. They’ll describe how to make something with full-blown, dramatized hand gestures and a sway of their hips. Or they’ll give directions and pace back and forth in a silly little waggle dance. Either way, they can take that to a whole other level when it’s time to get serious.

They also are very happy when someone wants to dance with them. Pull them close and rock them back and forth and they’ll start buzzing whether they mean to or not. (Well, in AUs where they still have their wings. Like many Punz writers, I’m not kind to him.)

Watch him roll his eyes and say it’s stupid, but… Given enough prompting, he wraps his arms around his partner and buries his face into the crook of their neck. “You’re bad at this,” they’d mutter through a playful grin. Still, despite the tease, they don’t dare let go. Even the simplest of dances are enough to keep them hooked. They don’t need anything fancy.

Ranboo

Ranboo is my beloved dancer! Even if they’re not the greatest in the world, they practice frequently and love showing off their new moves. Clumsy mistakes are quickly corrected the second time around. Bit by bit, they’ve refined the routine to a polished sheen.

He also enjoys dancing with other people. Not necessarily hand-in-hand, but as a group. Something about that lightens the pressure of being a solo performer. Dancing is a lot more enjoyable when everyone around him is having a good time too. They’re also big on bobbing their head to certain tunes or humming/vwooping along, regardless of the presence of lyrics.

Techno

Ever wondered where Ranboo learned how to dance? Look no further than everyone’s favorite piglin. I adore found family dynamics between these two, I won’t lie. Any PeerPressureDuo enjoyers out there?

In any case, dancing is pretty big in my idea of piglin society. It shows two people’s chemistry and their ability to navigate missteps together. So, Techno was taught from a young age how to dance, even just to make friends.

He’s extremely elegant as well, flowing from one move to another without issue. It’s seamless, gorgeous, and entrancing. He fights like he dances, too, with every gesture pronounced and oddly graceful.

This was… probably more information than anyone ever wanted to know, but I had fun writing it! Thank you for the lovely ask!!

[unfounded-daydreams]

I think my cold just got worse; so please don’t worry if I take a while to respond! It’s not due to lack of interest, I swear. I’m just feeling very under the weather today and words aren’t flowing :(

🖋 :O!

🖋 : a couple potential plot/dynamic ideas || plots meme

Hello! Nice to meet you, and thank you for sending an ask in!! I took a look over your muse list, so here are some dynamics I would be interested in:

Drunz and anything Dream Team-related. I said this yesterday in another post, but they’re probably my favorites. I would happily indulge in just about any plot with them. We could even do angst, if you’re interested, and dive into the trickier parts of their canon interactions.

Bench Trio. Any of their dynamics bring me so much joy… even when they themselves aren’t happy lol. Out of them, I write Ranboo, and I would love to see AlliumDuo or BeeDuo interactions. These could take place in canon, in AUs, or even in a “season two” situation (i.e., after the reset).

Wilbur and Ranboo. They were the first dynamic I wrote for from the DSMP! I love their conflicting worldviews and beliefs, and exploring that contrast is a blast to write.

Jack Manifold. I’m actually bouncing off the walls seeing it on your list. I would love love love to write an interaction between Manifold and literally ANY of my characters. He’s so underrated.

In general, I’m happy to get any sort of pairing, platonic or otherwise! So, if you have a dynamic in mind, you can always poke me about it. I love getting the chance to explore less-popular relations as well, which means I’ll rarely turn anything down.

Let me know what your favorite cups of tea are too! I’d be delighted to hear from you :]

[rpmemegraveyard]

Send me ♡ + a word, and I’ll write a headcanon.

[unfounded-daydreams]

🖋 {figured this would be a good ice breaker, since you sent me an ask already. Also hello! it's lovely to have another new face in the mcyt rp community ^^}

🖋 : a couple potential plot/dynamic ideas || plots meme

First of all— Hello to you too! I appreciate the warm welcome, the ice-breaker, and just in general how kind you’ve been. I’m excited to get to know you and everyone else in this community as well.

Secondly… let’s get some dynamic ideas rolling, shall we?

Drunz. I am down so bad for them in every possible way. Platonic? Check. Romantic? Check. They are my bread and butter and I will never shut up about them. So. Y’know. You’ve been warned haha.

Rivals Duo. They mean so much to me. I love exploring their relationship and diving into the potential they have not only in canon, but in AUs! Which… I write a lot of. You’ll often find me sliding characters into apocalypse, royalty, and sci-fi AUs in particular.

Literally anything to do with the Dream Team. Seriously. These silly little block men are my favorites. Their dynamics (both in pairs and as the full trio) are delicious, even more so when you switch things up with XD, HD, and PVP.

Also!! Found family dynamics include, but are not limited to: Puffy and Dream, Eret and Ranboo, Techno and Ranboo, George and Ranboo, Punz and Purpled… Basically. Approach me looking for found family and I will throw any of my muses your way. Literally any of them.

There are way more than these, but I would be here for hours if I tried listing them all. I also do plenty of rare pairs, so feel free to ask about those if you want!

Mostly, if you just let me know what AUs you’re interested in (or whether you prefer to stick to canon), I’d be more than happy to brainstorm actual plots for us. Feel free to message me here on Tumblr, even if it’s only to let me know you prefer using Discord for OOC chatter.

Looking forward to hearing more from you :]

[unfounded-daydreams]

continued from here || @dcathbook

Punz gives Dream privacy. They smile, yes, but they don’t stare. Eyes remain locked on the mask they hand him, and even after Dream takes it, they keep their attention lowered to the side. Only when Dream turns back around does Punz look upward. The shapeshifter pulled their hood over their newly replaced mask, but Punz doesn’t mind. He’s never been bothered by the boundary. Never felt like he deserved glimpses of Dream’s face, anyway. Regardless of whether Dream minds, Punz does. Punz always has. He would never cross that line without permission.

“I know I don’t have to, Dream,” they remind him with a laugh. It’s true. They don’t have to do anything they don’t want to. Even their reference to payment was nothing more than a joke — an attempt at lightening the mood with their crappy sense of humor. ‘You’re the one paying me,’ their mind echoes, ‘but that’s not all there is to it.’ It never really was.

They clear their throat. “Besides, I’m weighing the risks,” they continue. “This is worth it.” He speaks as though he’s made calculations. As though it’s a foolproof assessment. As though nursing Dream back to health is part of his job. Except, of course, it isn’t. And he hasn’t. That’s the funny thing about the way fae speak. They can’t lie. Punz means what he says, then, in a sense. This is worth it.

Just not logically.

In response to Dream’s question, Punz winces. “A lot,” they admit. They aren't even sure where to begin. The world’s changed in Dream’s absence, and not at all for the better. At least not in their opinion. So maybe, to narrow it down… “Anyone in particular you’d like an update on?”

[unfounded-daydreams]

JSchlatt @ Dream // "If you say anything about this, I'm going to deny it," a bushy eyebrow rose, simple, yet challenging. "I'll admit, dollface, I ain't got many people who make my shoulders stiff or give me nearly the same kink in my neck."

Schlatt sets a bundle of floura between them, as if to slide over a contract or present something that could change a nation's standing. Veiny hands clasp over one another, gold rings clinking and black nails settling against a tanned canvas. Knees spread, Jay doesn't bother to create a fancy platter or ornate decoration for a fine man such as Dream. No, Schlatt had a reputation for his blunt and rather disrespectful way of complimenting others.

Complimenting? This was a compliment? Belladonna encased the offering, purple petals weeping over the sides of twine, followed shortly by the delft blue of hyacinths to compliment their tone. Yellow Rhododendron fluff up with their partnered and curled Sycamore leaves. Compliments. Dream was a dangerous man, Schlatt knew that good and well. Dangerous but ever so intriguing. He liked people who knew what they wanted, after all.

Strangely enough, there's not a single rotten spot on any of this bouquet, and each stem was neatly treated and cut at the right angle to last for long past this secret rendezvous. He took time to make this. Hopefully it wasn't a waste of time to learn some frilly flower language just to get this weirdo to understand more than riddles.

Belladonna = Silence

Hyacinth = A game

Rhododendron = Danger

Sycamore = Curiosity

(I live in your ask box btw)

belladonna, hyacinth, rhododendron, and sycamore || bouquet meme

Dream’s prepared for this meeting. Schlatt raises an eyebrow in challenge, but Dream’s ready for whatever gets thrown his way. Schlatt will hand off sensitive information. He'll give Dream intel that, in his mind, will encourage favorable action. Probably against Wilbur, but that’s fair. Dream won’t argue, or complain, or cause a scene. He’ll take whatever leverage he can get as well, even if it comes from Schlatt’s lips. And—

…And the more Schlatt talks, the more confused Dream grows. It’s not until a bouquet rests before him that he reaches a conclusion.

This isn’t what he thought it’d be.

“Flowers?” he scoffs, incredulous, though it holds half the bite he’s known for. Even he can’t tell if he’s amused or dumbfounded. He stares down at the arrangement, chin raised appraisingly. Flowers, indeed. Pretty ones. They contrast the drab office space beautifully, a beacon under buzzed lights.

Yet, despite his efforts, he struggles to connect Schlatt to the bouquet. Only when the man leans back does he settle. Pride goes hand-in-hand with this blunt display. It’s not quite sentimental, but it is more than Dream bargained for.

It took time, too. Dream might not know the language of every flower, but meaning bleeds from their petals. There’s consideration spun in their twine enclosure, too, visible under layers of trimmed greenery. Consideration. From Schlatt. He hates how scrambled his mind has become.

“Seriously?” Dream asks as he sews together rationale. Rather than snicker, he croons. “Aw. You shouldn’t have.” Small-talk. He’d prefer to know what brought this on. Dissecting Schlatt’s goals has always been a hellish feat, but it’s even tougher when he doesn’t know what game they’re playing.

Lithe fingers lift the bouquet. A twist and turn guides his gaze across every delicate blossom. “I didn’t take you for the flower-giving type,” he says, lowering it from his line of sight. “Or am I just special?” There has to be more to it than a gift, right? Unless… Unless there isn’t. Maybe it’s meant to be taken at face value: a simple little compliment.

He can appreciate that.

(If he wastes his afternoon with his nose deep in gardening books, however… no one’s the wiser.)

INSOMNIA :  for one muse to find the other still awake at 3 a.m. "I expected to face a long night, but it seems you suffer the same fate. What's on your mind?"

Sam @ Dream // Awesamdude pushes sleep to the absolute limit, understandably so when his mind is too busy mulling over every possible outcome or mistake his actions might have caused. It seems he's not the only one, especially when he finds Dream facing the dark as if it were a long-time friend.

insomnia: for one muse to find the other still awake at 3 a.m. || a comprehensive list of scenarios

Thoughts are quick tonight. Sharp, loud, and quick. It’s painful, Dream thinks. Dissonant swirls impede, relentless in their chorus. He wishes he could pluck them from where they linger. Sealed in labeled jars, they’d be so much easier to understand. Categorized chaos is what he’s used to, anyway. Not free-flowing contentions. Those are confusing, unhelpful, and above everything… discouraging. 

Discouraging. Ha. Perhaps he does need sleep. 

Dream huffs, miserable. Heavy-lidded eyes betray him. He doesn’t feel tired, in truth. Not in the physical sense of the word. Feet shuffle restlessly back and forth even when he’s meant to stand still. Perhaps, instead, he’s too pent-up. Adrenaline makes respite seem more like a distant memory than a promise. He isn’t even sure why, or from where the worries echo. Just that they do.

Sleep has been fleeting the past few weeks. He tries to catch it, pull it close, and let it wash over. But every time, misfortune constricts around his neck. Every time, it suffocates, forcing all sense of reason from his lungs. And every time, he wakes up a spluttering, coughing mess. Nothing actually drowns him save for the nightmares, but he swears his chest feels tight the rest of the morning. 

Avoidance thus took hold. It guides him to stay at the saloon later than usual. He’s not performing anymore tonight; that’s long since been over. Rather, he’s passing drinks around tables. A bold smile or playful wink is all it takes to keep the smaller crowd happy. It’s simple work, but anything he can do to stay alert is a win in his book. Even if it means laboring much later than usual. 

Glass in hand, he slides it across the table to their newest patron — a fresh face in a busy town. Dream offers a hello despite his exhaustion. Emerald eyes sparkle under his masquerade mask, stage attire still in pristine, model condition. He wouldn’t be caught dead these nights without it, not when part of the appeal to the audience is partial anonymity. 

What surprises him is the stranger’s voice. His frivolous greeting is met with an actual response, one showing attention. There’s a hardness to it — a rough-around-the-edges lure that prompts Dream to stay put. He pauses, mouth parting to admit that yes, it is a long night. Barely any others linger, most having left for the evening a while ago.

Lips press closed at the inquiry, however. What’s on his mind? Dream sends his weight to one side, appraising. “Am I that easy to read?” he asks teasingly. Seas of viridian settle upon the stranger. One hat, two boots, and a very lovely jacket. ‘Samuel’ is embroidered on it, and he tests the name out in his head. Samuel. Pleasant sound. 

“You missed the show,” Dream comments, hoping to change topics. Two fingers adjust his mask for emphasis. “Happens after every sunset.” He smiles. It’s not as forced this time. He can’t tell if that’s good or bad. “There’s a reason most people are here earlier, y’know. Not everyone’s a long-time friend with the dark.” 

‘Like us,’ the words settle on his tongue. He can tell. One look at Sam, and he can tell. He isn’t the only one fighting off sleep. For some reason, that hooks him. A stranger in a big town at his tavern far past midnight. He’d be a fool to pass up the opportunity. Shiny and new, that’s what Sam is, and Dream can’t wait to pick him apart. Besides, that hat breathes ‘cowboy,’ and he wouldn’t dare let one slip by without sparing a story or two. Not tonight.

Casting a precursory glance at other patrons, Dream drags over a chair. He straddles it, leaning over its back curiously. “Name’s Dream,” he says. His grin grows lopsided; oddly charming, maybe even playful. “You’re not from around here, are you, cowboy?”

Lack of Sleep Starters!

pronouns and context can be changed as you see fit.

When was the last time you actually got some rest?

Alright, that's it. You're going to bed, and I'm not taking no for an answer.

Look at you! You're spilling coffee.

You have bags, and I'm not talking about the Gucci kind.

Jesus, have you been awake the entire night?

It's 4am. You need sleep.

You're safe here. You can rest now.

I promise, I'm fine. I just look tired a lot, thanks to... the tiredness.

Look, I'm okay! I've pulled all nighters before.

This isn't the first time I've gone without sleep.

I'll carry you to bed if I have to.

Do I need to baby you?

Huh? What? I'm awake, I swear!

You just ran into the wall. It's time to lie down.

Go. To. Bed. That's an order.

I made a nest for you. You can sleep in that, if you want.

Can I get an extra pillow / blanket?

Want me to tuck you in, too?

I'll check in on you in an hour. You'd better not have moved.
