Like, did his black gooe made it or did he choose to wear it and it got full of black goo?

If there is no canon awnser: What do you think?

He can't wear clothing, it just dissolves, his goop is like acid, it burns to the touch and smells like decaying flesh

No canon answer (as far as I know), but given anymore than one of them would literally kill a mortal (canon), and also they immediately fuse with your entire being/lifeforce/soul the second you bite one (canon), I'm going to say they taste like nothing and perhaps a bit of unimaginable pain (headcanon)

I sometimes see headcanons of Dream having difficulty reading and was curious.

Try: zero formal

Trying to find art of them but can’t seem to find it?

Funnily enough they kind of look/act like zombies or feral animals, which is why they remind me of that infection AU. I think there's more you could do with their designs though since Joku's artstyle was always very simplistic

(insert chanting and bowing towards you from the drink shipper nation)

Okay, here's one for you: I think Ink is uniquely capable of making Dream mad

One of the only people to do it really.

So okay, it's fine that he doesn't think people are real. Dream would be fine with that even if he disagreed as long as he wasn't cruel about it, BUT Ink also believes no outcodes should interfere with universes and Dream is THE interfering outcode. And since Ink can't do literally anything about Nightmare who 'interferes' way more, I think Dream just becomes the standin and more accessible target for both of them. Plus, Ink's thinkin oh, Dream is the only one who can stop Nightmare? 'Great! Why hasn't he done that yet? I don't really think he has a chance against that guy, I mean, I can (kinda) fight Dream but with Nightmare? No way'

So Ink can hit the grand slam of things that would get to Dream's head:

1. You need to stop saving universes. (Never going to happen)

2. Because no one you save matters (logical reason you should stop, come on Dream, stop being a pain in my ass and follow my logic here)

3. As it stands, you and Nightmare are exactly the same

4. And I mean. Come on. If you are going to stop him then do it already, but let's be real here, you're never going to be strong enough to beat him. (Which is probably one of Dream's biggest insecurities)

And worst of all, I bet it hurts Dream even more than anyone else because if Ink wasn't so adversarial to him, they would make the perfect team. So him being a total asshole (my words, not Dream's), makes Dream extra upset because Dream would love nothing more than to be friends with him and work together and he sees Ink does care about universes. But Ink over here makes it impossible to trust him, and friendship has to go both ways.

Ink on the other hand thinks he is being very smart and reasonable and maybe even stopping Dream from getting himself killed by telling him to just hide somewhere he's not interfering forever. Win win for both of them really

Anyways I think that's the reason Dream should get to beat Ink up.

I remember somewhere that they thought negatively/Neutral about Nim but is that true?

I don't know what post you're referring to, you'll have to find it for me if you remember it.

hard question to answer either way, here's what I do know: Dream and Nightmare were explicitly kept in the dark by her and didn't know much about her. They would almost certainly be fond of her at the beginning, if only confused but solemnly accepting as to why she rarely ever spoke to them.

Lanny was incredibly fond of Nim, so it's possible Dream would be influenced by that view (though Lanny, too, might take a while to tell him about her since she was quite bereaved by her death)
