#dim au

An au where in exploring my own version of SPM, mostly focusing on dimentio’s lore, with some of my own headcanons and experiences thrown in! It’s really just for my own enjoyment more than anythin, but I hope y’all will like it as much as I do so far :D

Ok! So!!!

The basic premise behind it is that Dimentio used to be a jester/stage magician in his old world. He was young, successful, cocky, and absolutely loved amazing those around him.

He was so good at this, in fact, that some of his rivals decided it would be better to dispose of him than to compete.

Before one of his performances, they snuck backstage and slipped some poison into his drink. Dimentio had no clue they were even back there. Thus, when he took a sip before heading out onstage, he didn’t know his latest show would turn deadly. By the time he registered something was wrong, he’d keeled over onstage.

Cut to our poor jester waking up in the underwhere, confused, panicky, and desperate to find a way back to the world of the living. How could he, dimentio, have ended up here? Who would be there to show his world’s inhabitants what real magic was like? To inspire them? To hear the applause? The music?

Lucky for him, there was a shayde around who was willing to help him out.

This shayde goes by “Alked Ream.” He offered dimentio a way back, and a bit of a “life-warming” gift of some power, to really show everyone what a powerful magician he could be.

Thus, dimentio returned to his home dimension. However... there was something a little different about him.

Alked Ream’s “gift” was nothing more than a curse. The power given to dimentio would grow, but at a cost. The curse would drive dimentio to return to the realm that once claimed him. Alked didn’t think dimentio would last a week before he was back.

But he was wrong.
