I... Ummm.... May or may not have made an Inkmare ship kid-
Her name's Stain and her pronounce are She/It/Its, but she doesn't care what people call her (I will be using She/Her cause it's easier for my brain).
I haven't decided 100% how she got created... But what I have come up with is that she's a mix of Nightmare's goop and Ink's, well... inks, lol.
Was it on purpose to make her? Idk... All I know is that Ink's super hyped cause he loves creating stuff.
Is the skeleton part of her made from magic, an abandoned and/or dying Sans/Sans AU/skeleton OC or maybe parts of Passive's skeleton parts that are still inside of Nightmare??? No idea! I like the idea that she was just "spare parts" of a skeleton they found as her being half adopted and half biologically theirs sounds fun! It would also then make sense for maybe that skeleton to be the reason her scarf is sentient... 🤔
(The reason my version of Nightmare having sentient tentacles is cause Passive's emotions still linger in him)
Just like her papa Ink, she is emotionless. But instead of feeding on creativity/paints to feel emotions like her papa does, she feeds from other's emotions. I haven't decided if she'll be needing to feed on happy emotions to feel happy or if she just have to feed on emotions in general to feel any emotions yet though...
An Idea I got is that when she was a baby, before they knew she was emotionless, she would be quiet and still when Ink's holding her. But as soon as Nightmare holds her, she starts crying and screaming! At first they thought she just didn't like Nightmare, but then later when they realised that it's not normal for a kid to be so calm and quiet, they realised she had no emotions and needed to feed on others' (Nightmare being a being of negativity never noticing she fed from him as he is an endless source of it).
The problem with her feeding from other's emotions is that if she accidentally takes too much, she can leave them emotionless for some time... Oops!
Speedrun time cause I have places to be!:
- Only her goopy parts can shape-shift, like her Dad. But she could hide her skeleton parts inside the goop while shape-shifting.
- Nightmare do NOT want her to interact with any of Dream's family (aka Rigel, Blue and Dream himself) and Ink agreed to it, but broke that rule right away as he sees no harm in it and he's an opportunist, using Rigel's and Dream's emotion generating powers to feed his daughter.
- When Stain was a baby, a worm like creature came out of her goop and refused to leave her side. Ink and Nightmare quickly realised it was part of her powers and let it stay. Later when she had more control over her powers, they helped her shape it into the scarf she now has.
- Both her eyes changes shapes, like Ink's. I only drew her left eye cause I already had drawn it. So she could have the combo of star and wobly circle to mean she's crying happy tears
