Mun's been looking at fan art, and Sandy's enjoying himself

[Honestly, he finds it sweet that people care enough to draw them so much. Jack especially seems to be getting a lot of attention, which Sandy thinks is a sign of a growing base of believers. Of course, he communicates this all through swiftly changing pictures, which people may or may not be able to understand.

There is one thing he's curious about, though. With a slightly puzzled look, his dreamsand forms the image of Bunny, which then shrinks to a little cute bunny with a question mark besides it. What's with all the art of Bunny as an actual baby bunny? As far as he knows, there's been no incident of Bunny shrinking and becoming cute.

After a moment, he can't help but have a goofy grin. No matter how confusing, the pictures are adorable.]

Girls like cute stuff, not giant piles of grump. That's why I get drawn the most. [A grin. Isn't he just lovely?]

[Sandy rolls his eyes, but hey, he didn't expect any different (also keywords). Though that doesn't explain why there's so much artwork of Jack with Bunny...

He shakes his head, because there are some things he really doesn't want to imagine.

Above his head, there's the image of the baby bunny again followed by a question mark. Do you know anything about that, Jack?]

[Dude. Dude. Don't you dare start on the shippy stuff. Jack Does Not Approve.

Yeah, don't imagine anything, please. Dreams will become nightmares that way.

Jack tilts his head, trying to guess what Sandy is asking.] You want to know why they draw little Bunny? Probably because everyone loved him when he... ah, you weren't around for that. [He says those words with lots of pain.] After you were... er, gone, things got ugly. Uglier? Everyone was losing their powers and well... Cottontail got shrunk.

[Sandy cannot unsee the things he has seen. On the plus side, he now knows what to make Jack and/or Bunny dream about if he ever needs to get revenge for something. (Unfortunately, the sandman has the potential to be a real troll.)

Sandy's mouth opens slightly and he nods, as if saying 'Ooooooooh'. Because seriously, that explains a lot. Curiously, he isn't sensitive to the fact he was dead. If anything he avoids mentioning it for his friends' sake, because he knows that even if it isn't a sore point for him, it's a sore point for them.

So instead of dwelling on that, he smiles and makes a baby bunny from sand, bouncing through the air until it bounces in front of Jack. Despite the grave implications of the form, he likes little!Bunny too.]

[Nobody can unsee that, sadly. It's good thing Jack doesn't sleep much then, shippy dreams are something he definitely doesn't need.

It's definitely a sore point for them, and especially for Jack, who still feels frustrated over the fact he couldn't do anything while standing right next to them. He sometimes wonders if they should talk about it, because he feels bad even if North said Sandy would be proud, but... feeling talk isn't his strength.

Jack chuckles and pokes the rabbit's tail. Aww, look at the lack of a frown.]

Yeah, you aren't the only one who likes him like that - though I guess you've already seen that. Exploring our fans' work? Need bleach for your brain yet?

[One day they should have a conversation. (Or... half-conversation, half-charades game.) Sandy really is proud of all Jack has managed to do, and he doesn't blame anyone for his death. Personally, he thinks its his own fault for being careless.

The sand rabbit wiggles its tail and twitches its nose, playfully jumping around Jack. Yes, Sandy likes cheerful!little!Bunny.

He winces, then nods. He adds a snowflake following the little bunny around. Need he say more?

(Don't even get him started on the fanfiction.)]

[But he wasn't careless, he kicked ass! Jack is very impressed by Sandy, and he means it when he think he doesn't want to be on his bad side. SCARY.

The sight of the snowflake following the little bunny makes Jack pull a face. He puts his hand in the flake's way to stop it, then looks at Sandy with a bit of an unamused expression.

After thinking about it for a moment, he decides revenge is the obvious option. So he makes two little figures of frost: Sandy and Pitch, whose sands get together to form a heart. AWWW.]

[Tip for the future, Jack: turning your back on the Bogeyman counts as careless. And you'll never be on the wrong side of Sandy's whips if you remember that Bunny's a much better target for pranks than he is.

Oh, Jack, you do not want to play this game. Sandy scowls, then the baby bunny and snowflake disappear, replaced by Pitch and Jack. With Jack lying with his head in Pitch's lap. And little dream sand hearts floating over their heads.

How do you like them apples?]

[Ew. EW EW EW. Jack closes his eyes and mumbles things under his breath - he doesn't want to lose, but the mental image is a little too much. EWWWW.

The little frost Sandy starts changing. His hair grows, his body becomes hourglass shaped and... are those boobs? Welp. Rule 63 never forgives.

(Pitch may be getting boobs too, but without the other changes. Just for the kicks.)]

[Jack. Tip from an old Guardian: never try challenging Sandy to a competition. He plays dirty.

Although the boobs earn a stare. Ugh, Pitch is not meant for boobs, and Sandy is very, very happy with his current lack of boobs, tyvm.

Let's add Bunny to the sand Jack and Pitch. And suddenly, Jack's stomach gets much bigger and much rounder. While hearts dance above Bunny's and Pitch's heads, pacifiers dance above Jack's. And there is no sign of a gender switch.

Like we said: plays dirty.]

[How is that supposed to scare him? Jack is the first one to play dirty! It's in fact good to have some actual competition for a change.

The disgusted face is back, this time ten times worse. Under all the disgust there's a part of him who wonders how they expect him to have a baby when he can barely touch people without freezing them. PRIORITIES.

With a wave of Jack's hand, frost Pitch starts changing again, representing his shadow from, some sort of fast blur. It surrounds frost Sandy, who is getting closer to-- to nothing, apparently, since at the last second Jack frowns, shakes his head and makes both figures explode in lots of tiny snowflakes.]

...never mind.

[Oh God, the Guardians have two trolls in their midst. This can't end well.

Sandy smiles smugly and all the figures explode into clouds of sand before he crosses his arms and bounces on the balls of his feet.

If he talked, he would be gloating so hard right now.]

[You mean this can only end well. If you're going to play dirty, you need the attitude to go with it!

Usually Jack would protest, but this time he's letting Sandy have this one. He feels guilty for what he almost did before - those fanfics are weird and creepy, but there are still some subjects Jack will never joke about. Pitch's darkness taking over any of them is one of them.

Hopefully Sandy doesn't notice any of that now.]

Remind me to take you with me next time I bother Bunny.

[Probably for the best. It's true that that's a little too serious for joking, but good on Jack for recognizing that, and on Sandy for allowing himself to ignore and/or not even notice the near-slip.

Sandy winks and gives Jack a thumbs up. Bunny's always fun to tease. Especially since Sandy has a magical ability that keeps anyone from staying mad at him.]

[He can be mature sometimes, alright. He even told Bunny he was great that time in the warren. ...okay, maybe not with those words, but you get the idea.

Hooray for a partner in crime! Sandy is officially the Cool Uncle of the family. And as the Cool Uncle, he is supposed to tell stories. So Jack will take this opportunity to ask.]

Do you give dreams to Cottontail and the others too? [He wouldn't know, he doesn't exactly dream. ...or sleep much in the first place.]

[Jack, if you couldn't be mature after three hundred years, that would just be sad.

Sandy arches his eyebrow, then smiles and nods. Above his head, he makes the image of all five of the Guardians, and in turn, Bunny gives what looks like a rousing speech, Tooth takes everyone's teeth from under their pillows, North gives everyone presents, and Jack starts a snowball fight.

Their 'centers' are more than just things they protect: they're central personality traits that define them and their interactions with others. Sandy would feel really weird if he didn't provide dreams for his family, the same way Tooth would feel weird if she didn't protect their childhood memories or Jack would feel weird if he went an extended period of time without starting a snowball fight or getting one of his friends to crack a smile.]

[You mean it would be awesome. Who wants to grow up anyway?

Those are some cute images, and Jack is touched. Sandy included him there. With the other Guardians. He belongs now, doesn't he? DAMN IT SANDY STOP GIVING HIM FEELINGS. This is not his area of expertise!

Let's go down the joke road, easier that way.] We're such a bunch of obvious oldies, aren't we?
