You come to crowned in a nest of tree roots, thick and dark with age.
You think, briefly, that you should not be able to see them. The roots. You’re underground— though you abhor it, where else could you be that smells so strongly of dirt? However this came to be, it ought to be dark. A natural consequence of being underground, where there should be no light.
But that soft blue glow comes from yourself. Or something under your skin, or entangled deeper, maybe, so deep to become inseparable from you and it and so you are now we but still you.
You have been buried ready for battle. Your fist closes on the shaft of a glaive. Your other hand holds—
A drone. Maybe. Something. It has the same resonance you do, a glow that speaks to your own. It chimes and you chime back in confirmation. The single eye is as green and bright as your own, the casing around it as bleached-white and organic as your own armored shell.
Another chime. Your antenna lift and current sparks between them.
Eyes up, Guardian, the drone tells you. It is time to go.
And you do. You go.

A fighting force lives or dies by how well they work together. A community must support each other to thrive.
So why is it that his Guardians all feel so separate and far apart? Nightlight has always been the odd one out, so to speak, but this—
Loud silence—
No wonder Pitch nearly got the upper hand on them.

It's... a lonely thing, his patrol.
This half of the world is asleep. As it should be, of course, but Nightlight...
Doesn't. Sleep, dream, any of that. It would defeat the purpose of a Nightlight if he did.
But he watches. He sees the Tall Ones tuck in their Small Ones, sees them lull them to sleep with stories or songs, or simply just holding them and rocking, the way he used to bid his MiM to rest.
What would it be like to be the one being sung to?

quotes that broke me starters
feel free to adjust pronouns / names as needed !
quotes taken from random sources or tiktok. i claim no ownership whatsoever.
❛   i’m supposed to be the one who protects you from monsters. i’m not supposed to be one.  ❜  
❛   if i could make a deal with god, and i’d get him to swap our places.  ❜  
❛  no one heard our screams for a long time.  ❜  
❛   i know so many last words. but i’ll never know hers.  ❜  
❛   there is a home for every departed thing.  ❜  
❛   it reminded me that i will never truly know you.  ❜  
❛   i also buried a part of myself alongside them.  ❜  
❛   after you died i could no longer hold a funeral. so my life became the funeral.  ❜  
❛   you don’t have to be awake to cry.  ❜  
❛   forgive me, for all the things i did. but mostly the things i didn’t do.  ❜  
❛   the human eye is the loneliest creation of all.  ❜  
❛   fairness is for happy people.  ❜  
❛   the things we lost will always be heavier than the things that stayed.  ❜  
❛   perhaps it is the greater grief, to remain on the earth when another is gone.  ❜  
❛   you stain the pages with yourself.  ❜  
❛   tears will not wash away the sorrow.  ❜  
❛   beautiful things grow a certain height and then they fall and fade off.  ❜  
❛    who in all these centuries has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?  ❜  
❛   i have scars on my hands from touching certain people  ❜  
❛   despite everything, i believe that people are really good at heart.  ❜  
❛   you tried to change, didn’t you?  ❜
❛   you can’t make homes out of people. someone should have taught you that.  ❜  
❛   i hid my deepest feelings so well, i forgot where i placed them.  ❜  
❛   we have no scar to show for happiness. we learn so little from peace.  ❜  
❛   i didn’t leave because i stopped loving you. i left because the longer i stayed, the less i loved myself.  ❜  
❛   at every moment in our life, we have one foot in a fairytale & the other in the abyss.  ❜  
❛   there are too many sad eyes on happy faces.  ❜  
❛   it’s strange, i felt less lonely when i didn’t know you.  ❜  
❛   things change, friends leave. life doesn’t stop for anybody.  ❜  
❛   it takes a lifetime to die, and no time at all.  ❜  
❛   i am deathly afraid of almosts. of coming close to what i want and then falling just a little short.  ❜  
❛   i felt your absence.  ❜  
❛   what do we do now, now that we are happy?  ❜  
❛    you honestly thought anybody would love you? purely and truly love you?  ❜  
❛   don’t stop looking. he deserves to know someone saw his end, that someone noticed him.  ❜  
❛    i can bear my pain so long as it has meaning.  ❜  
❛   i dont have a single friend - not one.  ❜  
❛   i’ve had more than enough pain in my life, what’s a little more going to do?  ❜  
❛    it would have been you if i met you first.  ❜  
❛    i really thought he was going to be my forever.  ❜  
❛    maybe in the next life it would work.  ❜  
❛   in spite of everything, you’re still you.  ❜  
❛   the dead have it easy.  ❜  
❛   there’s an ocean of silence between us, and I’m drowning.    ❜  
❛   there have been countless times in my life when i thought i’d be better off dead.  ❜  
❛   what on earth… have i become?  ❜  
❛   don’t look at me! i don’t … i don’t want you seeing me like this.  ❜  
❛   i wish i could’ve been like you.  ❜  
❛   your fate was sweeping you away, like a flood.  ❜  
❛   the future should know the mistakes we made.  ❜  
❛   of course you have. you feel guilt. you want redemption.  ❜  
❛   i’m here because you can’t accept what you’ve done. it broke you.  ❜  
❛   even now, after all you’ve done, you can still go home.  lucky you . ❜  
❛   you’re all that’s left, and we can’t live this lie forever.  ❜  
❛    prometheus gave us light, and warmth, and eternal damnation.  ❜  
❛   take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act.  ❜  
❛    i know i ruined your life. i suffer for it every day.  ❜  
❛   don’t let yourself get killed for… for pride. i’ve seen it kill too many folk.  ❜  
❛    you and me, we ain’t decent… but those folk… they were.  ❜  
❛   we’re more ghosts than people.  ❜  
❛   despite my best efforts to the contrary… it turns out i’ve won.  ❜  
❛   i gave you all i had … i did.  ❜  
❛   this whole time, I’ve blamed myself for that decision.  ❜  
❛   do you think even the worst person can change…? That everybody can be a good person, if they just try? ❜  
❛   i don’t want to break their hearts all over again. it’s better if they never see me.  ❜  
❛   please leave me alone. i can’t come back. i just … can’t, okay?  ❜  
❛   no matter the struggles or hardships you faced… you strived to do the right thing, you refused to hurt anyone. ❜  
❛    people like you don’t ever want to be happy.  ❜  
❛   i don’t want to let go. i’m not ready to say goodbye yet.  ❜

Well, if anyone should need Nightlight for any reason, all they need do is call for him.
Otherwise he's going to be curled around his MiM, boneless and purring.

Thoughts on Santa deniers?
I just don't know where else they think the presents could come from. the parents theory doesn't make sense if you apply even a little bit of scrutiny because mom and dad are asleep at night
