There was a LOT more in this dream, but I want to focus on this part

So, on a dark forest path, some lady leading a group of people has bright lights. Everyone that she passes had dim lights until she passes by them, giving them light. Behind them, a lively bright town/city that they've all left behind. In front of them, a gloomy and blue-lit village. The old lady approaches, narrating, "This is the land of the witches." She talks about... I don't know, pleasing them? There's a lot of witches; one of them looked like a Cheshire cat; another looked like some old queen who only liked apples, bananas, and a side of sweet mushrooms "I need to ty out your sweet mushroom stew sometime!"; all of them resemble spiders. Their houses were really cool and eccentric once someone pleases them, basically lighting the house up. The weird village has webs beneath the houses (the houses are like... on rods that resemble trees) so that anyone who falls can get up easily and not get hurt. Some guy gets stopped by a witch proclaiming that "Is this a fake tattoo?" I have no idea what that means, but they proceed to run their hands over his back and it reveals... chitin? Basically revealing some sort of weird... Spider-human form that you'd see in Junji Ito style. Uh, then the Cheshire cat witch comes along and pulls out a list of witches and adds the false tattoo guy onto the list. Another thing, the false tattoo guy is names Waelynn, or something of the sort. The village looks brighter now mixed with light yellows and mellow blues. For some reason, Silent Night is playing in the background. There's a small river below where a witch sails on a... canoe?

Really cool dream man, very colorful

I wrote his actual backstory down somewhere... Uh... FOUND IT

Okay, wait, I need to analyze my dream and focus SPECIFICALLY on Waelynn now.

—

So, BUILDING OFF OF MY DREAM HERE TO CREATE A BACKSTORY, Waelynn is basically this Regular Guy™ in this Quaint Village™ with folks he knew for like years. Some of these folks are what I'm gonna call Witch Finders, or Witch Pleasers. ...My dream explains this, HAHA, but basically they appease the witches of the Mountains™. He has never truly felt at home in this Quaint Village™, so he follows these Witch Finders/Pleasers to the Mountains™.

Fast forward to where he's actually seen in the dream, a couple witches inspect this guy because Why Is His Aura So Weird And Familiar? One witch has the bright idea of running their hand down his back (which I still think is the weirdest part of the witch village dream) and Woah, That's Definitely Chitin. After this Revelation™, Waelynn's like "What the hell man! How can I be a Regular Guy™ now?!" and "Ohhh... So those symptoms really meant I was a witch... That makes a little more sense now..."

AND THEN TO PRESENT DAY, HE EMBRACES THE FACT THAT HE'S A FUCKING WITCH BECAUSE HE FINALLY BELONGS. HE CAN BE HIS TRUE SELF WITHOUT QUESTIONING "Is this normal?" because OF COURSE IT'S NOT! Sure, it might put off some of the townspeople he used to know, but they weren't true friends anyway. AND this fits with him being a Fallen Oracle for LUMINOVAELLA because SHE IS THE DEITY OF RADIANCE!! EXPRESSION!! GRACE!! She doesn't gaf bro just Be Yourself™.

Okay, yeah, AEONI out.

I also drew him a while ago... Uh, CW for spider features and artistic nudity (1st image) I guess?

I love him sm... Please guys just look at him

Okay!! Yeah!! Art for the day
