All I want is 3 letters... "You"

Cheesy for a title XD

Anyways, I've been having artblock lately and decide to finished some of my wips instead :p

I like how I did on Geno's hair (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤❤️❤️ Its my human design btw x))

And happy valentines day everyone! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

Heyo-- Happy Valentine's everyone!! ❤️❤️

Cross - @jakei95

Nightmare - @jokublog

Ships that i like (not including ink ships bc i like all their ships)

I already have received two arts of her, ahhh!

I will literally combust out of excitement.

Love your art!!

My drawing of @rayflowcherry 's Celinde, love this character a lot!!!

Celinde

Infos:

Born from nowhere, a divine being decided to create her from Cross’s and Nightmare’s remnants of power and summoned her on their bed when they were asleep.

Rather than travelling with her parents, she stays at home instead, she does receive gifts from them every now and then.

Mostly interested in flower languages, astronomy and martial arts.

She knows how to play guitar.

She likes talking about any topics relating to her parents.

She can fight, only using her tentacles and fists.

Her mouth always disappears, there are times she can open it. She can change the shapes of her mouth or teeth by using her goop. (Unintentionally scared people in the past when she was a child because she couldn’t control it at the time)

Hides her tentacles in front of the people she trusts. Never lets her guard down in front of the enemies or strangers.

Can travel from this multiverse to another one by making a portal between them

Raiden’s friend(?)

Relationship with her parents and others:

She loves and respects both of them deeply.

Nightmare had taught her a lot like the stars’ names, flower languages and how to control her tentacles.

Cross always played games with her, gave her almost everything he laid his eyes upon when he first knew her, trained Celinde a lot to help her know how to defend herself.

Killer is the one who spends time with her the most but Horror is her favorite uncle. (She would never say that to them though)

Dust will take care of her whenever both Killer and Horror are busy, the times they spend are mostly short and quiet but it’s comfortable nonetheless.

Raiden by monodramatic-cannibal

Celinde by me

I think I’m going to cry haha

Ehem.

Can you draw Raiden as a baby and he is being held tightly by Nightmare because the latter is having a breakdown (something triggered his bad memories) and leaning onto Raiden’s head?

(I imagined this when I was listening to ‘I bet on losing dogs’ - Mitski)

I love them sm, him and his baby.

I've never drawn Raiden as a baby, I was gonna put him in something other than a sweater, but just decided on keeping it as the outfit I wanted to put him in wouldn't really have been seen lol.

Like father like son, it's been such a long time since I saw Incubux ahhh

Can you draw Incubux (your interpretation, ofc) sitting on Cross’s shoulders, they’re both having fun while Nightmare watching in the background? Family moment!<3

I don't think I've ever drawn Incubux before so this is a first for me lol Silly family

(laughing so hard, almost chokes myself)

This meme but Nightmare and Cross please:

“Ah yes. Me. My boyfriend. And his five foot tall plushie” (I will send you the plushie in dms)

One is meant to have a transparent border lol

Also bonus, me annotating the picture of the plushie while I was drawing

Omg-

I genuinely didn’t expect you to make both versions but here we are!

Ahhh, i feel so happy rn. Thank you!

Another art request from me! Hope i don’t bother you much!

‘Cross and Nightmare are watching Horror watering the tomato plants, they are gardening together to pass the time’

(You can decide whether they are squatting or standing)

The requests don't bother me at all ^^!

Gotta love a domestic moment ^^

(First one just has a grey boarder/background and the other has a transparent boarder/background) (I suck at drawing backgrounds lol, so forgive how bad it looks lol)

(under the cut is the version where they have sun hats that we spoke about in dms ^^, made it a separate version)

I was unsure if it would look good so thats why I made it a separate version ^^' I'm not that good at drawing hats either lmao

Introduction to my Multiverse (Nightmare-centric)

Part 2: Dust, Horror, Killer

Ships: Crossmare, Driller, FarmHorror

Dust:

The guilt over his brother’s death has been getting better lately, it may not disappear but the ghost of Papyrus doesn’t haunt him anymore. (Nightmares occur rarely, too)

Sexuality: Grayromantic

Age: Early 30s

Eternally grateful to Nightmare for helping him getting through his panic attacks, he thought that it wouldn’t bother Nightmare in the past and the boss would feed on his negativity, but now, he doesn’t think it is the case.

Slightly annoyed at Killer’s flirting actions/jokes, doesn’t dislike him for it though. (It’s still annoying nonetheless)

Loves Horror’s cooking, they both would chat and laugh over some puns they made.

Always staying on the sidelines, unless something happens. (Quiet guy in the dark, unintentionally making people scared because of it)

Knows Horror likes Farm and will help him if the chance appears.

Doesn’t have any particular opinions on Cross, but he likes him as a friend to chat with. (A bit suspicious about Cross’s relationship with Nightmare)

Doesn’t like killing much, so Nightmare’s deal was good enough for him to stay, just spreading negativity in exchange for a place to stay in. (After the truce, he started to find some hobbies for him to pass the time like reading books, knitting,…)

Horror:

At first, he couldn’t eat the food Nightmare made for him simply because in the past, he used magic to survive, just the sight or smell of it makes him puke, over time, Killer, Dust and Nightmare helped him overcome the struggle. (Cooking helps him a lot)

Sexuality: Pomosexual

Age: Late 30s (the oldest of the three)

The kitchen is his safe space, others can come and go. (How rare, Killer is the most cautious of all when it comes to his kitchen)

He takes gardening as his hobby, it may seem odd for a big and scary guy like him. (He is grateful to Farm for this, it was Farm who introduced this hobby to him)

Has a tiny crush on Farm. (Killer and Dust are the only ones who know, Nightmare doesn’t suspect a thing)

Good fighting skills, enough to make someone distracted or being delayed for long, despite being the weakest of the three.

Considers Cross as a friend, appreciates his help every time in the kitchen/garden, has an inkling on what Cross’s feelings are for boss but hasn’t drawn a conclusion just yet.

His AU is under Nightmare’s protection. (Something he is always grateful to Nightmare for)

Confused and annoyed at Killer’s flirtings at first, he quickly gets used to it after some time.

Killer:

Nightmare’s longest companion for years, so he understands what his boss is feeling sometimes. (His boss is still so unpredictable)

Sexuality: Pansexual

Age: Early 30s

May seem to be acting unserious all the time but he’s also the most observant when it comes to the others’ actions/emotions.

The only one who rarely calls Nightmare ‘boss’, once he does though, it is when you should take the situation seriously.

Flirts with everyone whom he finds hot/adorable. (Nightmare is the only unaffected one because he doesn’t understand what Killer is saying all the time)

Great fighting skills, if you want to get to Nightmare, you have to go through him first.

Secretly protective, don’t mess with his ‘companions’.

His actions are the most unpredictable of all even if that’s a good thing when it is used in battle.

Will kill anyone if Nightmare orders him to. (Nightmare almost never uses him for that, unless it’s someone who deserves to die, in Nightmare’s standards)

He toyed with the knives, used his phone or played games when he’s bored or not fighting. (After the truce, he started to find some hobbies like taking pictures, singing, playing guitars on the streets,…That’s why he usually goes out of the mansion, Nightmare doesn’t mind as long as he doesn’t get in much trouble)

Has 4 cats: Solar, Lunar, Aqua, Amber

The first one to know about Cross’s crush on Nightmare, ‘it was obvious’, he said. (Besides X!Chara)

His soul always stays on Stage 1, only on Stage 2 when he’s fighting or following orders.

Has a crush on Dream because he likes his personality and smile.

They see each other as siblings, support and help through hard situations. Don’t hurt one of them or you’ll be their next victim.

Thank you so much! Didn’t expect my request to get done so quickly. Excellent work! Crossmare is life!

’One time, Cross saw Nightmare standing under the rain, he was quickly approaching the other and sheltering him under his umbrella, noticed his droopy mood and tried to lighten it up.’ - from my post btw.

Odd and specific art request, but i just want to see what they look like in a situation like that. Love, a curious person.

Was meant to be a doodle but I got carried away, lol. One has a transparent background. I love Crossmare sm

Introduction to my Multiverse (Nightmare-centric)

Part 1: Crossmare (I didn’t mean for it to be this long)

Ships: Crossmare, Driller

Nightmare:

Passive and Corrupted are the same person, his appearance has changed drastically, and yet some of his past personality are still there (according to Dream).

Quiet by nature and isn't afraid to speak up his mind.

Looks cold and uncaring 'cause he is used to bottling up his feelings instinctively, making him look like that.

Composed, mature, keeps his inner child in check, never letting it out because he thinks that it's embarrassing.

Sexuality: AroAce, Agender (doesn't care about pronouns but mainly uses he/they).

Age: 500+

Takes care of Killer, Dust and Horror ever since they've joined his gang but keeps their relationship professionally. (‘Single father’ - Error)

The first person to meet Cross who was crying and passing out in his empty AU, looks after him for a while before sending him on his own way.

He and Dream are having a truce, their relationship still remains awkward though, sometimes meeting up to check on each other in Ccino's cat café and having conversations (a bit like gossip).

Neutral with Error and Ink, friendly but not that close to them, at least they don't do anything harmful to each other then all ends well.

Has a really good memory so he knows almost everything about all the AUS, not to mention he travels a lot to gain knowledge, build a mansion for the past 400 years.

When he first became corrupted, he wreaked havoc everywhere, losing control and destroying every AUs he landed upon 'cause of his hunger for negativity, not until Reapertale did he finally stop, Reapertale!Toriel prevented him from doing any further harms.

Reaper Sans is like a father figure to him, he teaches him how to control himself and helps him whenever his corrupting power is too much (along with Toriel), takes care of him for 100 years.

Loves reading books, especially fantasy ones, whenever someone gifts him a book, he will get a bit emotional.

He only wears his old crown on special occasions, if not, he would keep it in his drawer.

Cross usually writes letters to him on his travels, slowly building their relationship, they often stumbled into each other on some random AUs and conversed for a while before parting ways.

Good at singing lullabies, and sometimes dancing in the night every time he feels like it. (Only Dream knows about this)

Rarely sleeps, one time he falls asleep like a log for several days, making his idiots worried and called Dream for help.

Doesn't have a favorite food nor drink.

Killer flirts with him once which makes Nightmare really confused, causing the other to be slightly caught off-guard and explained it to him afterwards. (Nightmare still doesn't understand the innuendo 'till this day)

Helps Dust get through his nightmares and guilt in the middle of the night. (Dust sleeps a lot better and his Papyrus almost never appears to haunt him anymore)

Likes cooking and gardening with Horror, they always talk about some random topics, otherwise they would enjoy the silence between them. (Introverts)

Scared of cats, lets Killer keep them but won’t get near them. (There are four cats)

Knows about Killer’s crush on Dream, but he won’t interfere or do anything (unless necessary).

Likes the rain, always reminiscing and standing under it for hours.

Immune to pain, his touch feels like acid so he refrains from touching the others.

Suppressing his emotions so no one will ever know what he feels.

Can shapeshift into anything, but he rarely uses this ability ‘cause it mostly makes him feel uncomfortable, besides, he doesn’t want to freak the others out.

Intentionally making himself taller to match the height of the others because he was scared of being seen as weak and helpless.

The atmosphere in his mansion is very relaxing and comfortable, contrary to popular belief.

Cross:

Still feels guilty over the fact that he killed everyone.

Grateful for Nightmare looking after him after he passed out from crying too much.

After Nightmare explaining to him that saving his AU is almost impossible, Cross mulled over this for a while and talked to Nightmare before coming to a decision, ignoring X!Chara’s insistence on saving their world, he decides to travel the AUS to know more about the multiverse and maybe get some friends along the way.

Sexuality: Bisexual (Canon)

Age: Early 30s

Stoic, more outgoing with Epic, has a bit of a crush on Nightmare (slowly turning into something more in the future), easily angered if something annoyed him too much, mostly calm.

A traveler who likes helping people, hanging out and making memories with them, usually writing letters to Nightmare about his travels to keep him updated. (Doesn’t know why he started doing it, but he won’t stop anytime soon, receiving letters back from Nightmare everytime was worth it)

X!Chara always teases him about his crush on Nightmare. (Brat)

Meets Dream along the way, discovering the fact that Nightmare and Dream are brothers and sending about 6 letters in panic to Nightmare after that.

He and Nightmare often bumped into each other on some random AUS, they would converse in any restaurants or shops, sometimes things would get too awkward for them. (Sillies)

One time, Cross saw Nightmare standing under the rain, he was quickly approaching the other and sheltering him under his umbrella, noticed his droopy mood and tried to lighten it up. (Nightmare appreciated it, started to have feelings for him unknowingly)

Scared of cows. (Of course)

Occasionally, he visits Nightmare’s mansion, stays for a few days and leaves.

Cross finds Killer too flirty for his liking but doesn’t dislike him for it much. (Feels a bit jealous whenever Killer gets too close to Nightmare)

He and Dust likes each other’s company, they are usually talking and making jokes, bonding over their trauma and guilts.

Cross likes Horror’s cooking, the food is always delicious, especially the tacos, he sometimes helps Horror and Nightmare with gardening.

Can handle pain so Nightmare’s touch maybe hurts a little but he can hold hands with him for minutes. (They did hold hands for brief seconds, Nightmare was still shocked about it because Cross seemed unfazed)

Has heard of Ink and Error, still hasn’t met them yet.

Somehow he got addicted to chocolate.

Has a hard time falling asleep, though when he sleeps in Nightmare’s mansion, it feels easier.

Only Killer and X!Chara know about his crush on Nightmare. (Cross never figures out how Killer does, ‘it was obvious’, that man said)

Wants Nightmare to accompany him on his journey, become his traveling partner and whatnot. (Going to ask him but he doesn’t have the courage to do so)

Cross: Nightmare, you and I danced under the moon [Dance under the moon in Outertale], you carried me in your arms [X-Chara took possession of Cross's body and Night carried him to castle], saw me naked [Consequences of stabbing yourself in the rib and Mare healed him] + I carried you in my arms [Nightmare slept on a chair and Cross carried him to bed ] and saw you naked [I'll keep silent ...], you and I kissed [The cross swelled and with grief + playing Poko]. Where is my relationship!?

N: What relationship? Stop... Did you spy on me in the shower?... ¬¬

Best type of day is a rainy day :)

Surprisingly, this only took around 7 hours, now if only I didn’t procrastinate for a week and a half…
