I finally finished coloring this! This took. Way longer than expected lol

So behold! Reala's official post Journey into the Dream Within design. They might be a big huge grump but they are also clearly only talking a big game considering the fact their outfit has design elements of their twin's now. (Also coattails. Because I am eternally on the putting Nightmaren in coattails agenda. They look cool!)

This goth dingus is a huge hit with the right subset of humans and has a completely opposite appeal point to their twin's. Also their feathers are black and iridescent but I had some issues with getting that effect to look right so >.> Such is art

And he is embarrassed by it... Like yeah, he's just a big Tim.

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.
