Ive Seen Many Different Takes On This So

I’ve seen many different takes on this so…

As a lot of you know already, if you call him an idiot after sparing him, he will respond with “WHY MUST YOU BELITTLE YOURSELF…SO LOUDLY?”

there are other instances like this where a mental attack is dodged. But was he really oblivious to your intent? And if not, how much was he hurt?

I like to think in that moment Papyrus actually didn’t know, because it makes it so much funnier, but what do the majority of tumblr think?

(Please reblog for sample size)

One thing that can save you from so much needless bickering online is always taking an "innocent until proven guilty" approach about whether or not somebody is an idiot. If something that a person you don't know is doing, thinking, or saying makes no sense to you, it's better to assume that your initial assumption of what's going on is wrong, and that there's some additional element in this that you're unaware of, and what they're up to makes sense in context.

Let's say that someone posts on tumblr: "oh great, there's a fucking crocodile on the backyard. Hope it goes away before I have to let the dog out." Talking about it in a very casual way like that's just shit that happens sometimes.

And this is read by someone whose first assumption is that everyone online comes from a similar background and cultural context as they do, and thinks: Well, if there was a crocodile on my backyard, that would mean there's something horribly wrong, and I would be unsettled indeed. As this person does not seem appropriately freaked out about this, then clearly they must be an idiot.

And so they swoop in to scold the OP for being so casual about something that must clearly be a dire situation, an apex predator like a crocodile roaming around is an emergency worse than any regular invasive species, they must immediately find out where that creature escaped from and not let it out of their sight!

And meanwhile, the original OP argues that every single step of that plan is insane and they are not going to do that. And they continue arguing like this, because one is correct in their stance that an escaped crocodile in an environment it doesn't belong in is a dire and serious situation, and the other one is correct in their stanse that it would be ridiculous to call animal control over simply seeing a wild animal naturally chilling in its native environment.

And this whole argument could have been avoided if the responder had taken the alternative route: Concluding that since behaving the way OP does in their own environment would be idiotic, then clearly they must be living somewhere else.

And a simple question of "are crocodiles normal where you're from?" could have settled this immediately, as the two would have immediately come to learn that one of them is from Australia and the other one is from France.

No in between. Reblog if you vote pleas

I imagine if nightmare fell in a river the negativity slime would corrupt the water, but nightmare would not really be affected. I imagine there is the slime that is and will always be stuck to him, that’s basically a part of him, and extra negativity that is secreted. The extra negativity would be washed off while the other slime stays stuck

You know it's bad when Dream calls you a bad person, right? But if he says that he hates you it's much worse, because I'm canon he literally cannot hate people from his soul, so he literally broke his own soul because of how horrible you are.

What if Nightmare got shoved in a tub of water, would he be able to be passive again for a short amount of time or would he just corrupt the water or would he melt in it, because if that was the case what if he fell into a river? He would probably struggle to even get out in one piece, he probably would never be whole again and just be like, "Where am I!?" On the surface or in waterfall, he's super tiny just trying to get back to the castle and trying to find the rest of him.

What if Nim actually tried to have a relationship with her sons? Would the corruption process go faster or slower? Nim hated mortals but she would never want either one of the brothers to eat the apples, would try to comfort Nightmare or would she belittle him for crying and not being strong enough to protect the tree?

What if Neil met Nightmare? Would he like Nightmare the same as Dream and take him under his wing or would Neil be rude like he was at first to Dream? Would Neil go willingly to meet Nightmare at Dream's request? Would they bond over the fact that the village hates the both of them and they love Dream (as a brother or son that you lost)?
