Swiggity swooty. Back to basics. Would love to hear about your opinions on these
Nightmare
-Still has a pretty heavy german accent but I have a reason other than "vibes" this time. The story of Dreamtale reminds me of one of the old germanic brothers Grimm fairy tales! He also would've been more isolated from the english-speaking townspeople who bullied him, thus making his accent heavier since he didn't speak as much english.
-Heeled boots. That hasn't changed. He likes feeling tall. He isn't very tall.
-Very quiet most of the time. Just reading and enjoying alone time mostly. He is however very vocal about plot holes, inconsistencies and hypocrisy both in books and just in day to day life.
-Unironically used the word "cringe" to describe something once as has regretted it ever since
-Literally over 500 years old this man has no fucking clue how to use any cellular device, the concept of electricity is still new to his decrepit old mind
-His old crown is still up on a shelf in his closet. He looks at it from time to time. Melancholy.
-Error dared him to eat a centipede once and he did it with zero hesitation. He actually kind of enjoyed it. Protein.
-He has a music box on his desk. It plays "You are my Sunshine" every now and then. It was given to him by Dream before he ate the apple.
-His goop tastes like cinnamon-y applesauce.

Dream
-Also has a German accent but it's a lot lighter than Nightmare's. He spent a lot more time with the villagers who spoke english since they were friends and stuff.
-Used to be concerned for everyone's safety but he has since learned to be indifferent to Bad Guy Gang's bullshit and the others' general chaos.
-Still a switch. Nothing has changed my opinion on this, I doubt anything ever will.
-Since he's also over 500 years old, he also doesn't understand modern technology very well, but to a much more severe degree since he was turned to stone for a solid part of those 500 years. This guy still takes river water baths. He doesn't know what a fucking shower is. He doesn't know what in-house plumbing is. He's a menace.
-Very serious about his role as a guardian even if other people don't take him very seriously. Yes, he is short. Yes, he gives off good vibes. But he is not baby.
-Trying to get into contact with him? Good fucking luck, this guy doesn't own a mobile phone, landline, even a fucking rotary. Emails? Foreign to him. Just get sad about something and hope he shows up to help.

Error
-Still gets called discount spider man. He knows now, though. And he hates it.
-He really likes sewing and knitting, there's not much to do in the anti-void other than play with the strings and watch Soap Operas after all. He actually likes knitting more than destroying things.
-Russian accent. I don't really have a reason for this one, but it feels like it fits. He doesn't speak the language but he does know the swear words.
-His eyesight is absolutely HORRENDOUS but he refuses to wear his glasses because he doesn't like the way they feel.
-Not really part of Nightmare's murder gang but he's civil with the octopus man
-He's very sensitive to textures, sounds and sudden movements. For example, he cannot fucking stand the texture of velcro. Fur is also a no-go, despite the fact that he loves cats.
