1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: A ''lot'' of the illustrations fall into this. Obviously, you've got Bogleech's own UglyCute style, but most of the guest artist submissions don't look half-bad either, from Biomechanicalmush's cartoony drawings that resemble something from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, to Revereche's nightmarishly surreal [[Literature/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark Stephen Gammell]]-esque artwork. |
2 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Mr. Oogle from [[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmarestory-mroogle.png Squid's dream]] is one of the most popular monsters, being illustrated [[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmare-biomechanicalmushmroogle.png no]] [[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmare-cstallimroogle.png less]] [[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmare-omnymroogle.jpg than]] ''[[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmare-bobipinemanmroogle.png four]]'' times by different people. |
3 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: |
4 | ** Unusually for a series with the word "nightmare" in its title, Daisydice's [[http://www.bogleech.com/halloween/nightmare-werewolfstory.png werewolf dream]] ends on a surprisingly sweet note, with a woman helping a sickly young boy off the street, and then giving him a CooldownHug after he turns into a ([[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent very strange]]) werewolf and deciding to adopt him permanently. |
5 | ** Squid's [[https://bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmarestory-wormman.png Worm Man dream]]. Far from turning out to be a horrifying monster like Mr. Oogle did, Worm Man turned out to be a genuinely NiceGuy who Squid even became friends with, his BodyHorror qualities being dismissed as a simple skin condition, which Squid's parents urged them not to draw attention to since Worm Man was apparently [[TheWoobie a little self-conscious about it]] |
6 | * HilariousInHindsight: Bogleech's human-faced giraffe bears a notable resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}} Durpleton]]. |
7 | * NarmCharm: Many dreams feature concepts that ''should'' be nonsensical, but still end up being terrifying anyway, such as the woman with a [[GagNose prehensile extendable nose]]. |
8 | * NightmareFuel: Given that they originated from literal nightmares, it's to be expected a lot of them are [[NightmareFuel/NightmareBeings quite disturbing.]] |
9 | ** The illustrations, depending on the artist, vary from UglyCute to outright nightmarish. [[http://www.bogleech.com/halloween/hall15-nightmares8.html The ones by Bogleech's wife]], which look almost like something out of ''Literature/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark'', fall directly into the latter category. |
10 | * UglyCute: |
11 | ** Bogleech finds [[http://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/nightmare-bobipinemantithe.png Bobipineman's drawing]] of Tithe, banker of death, to be surprisingly adorable, despite being described as a “hideous half-bird, half-bat monster”. |
12 | ** He also feels this way about Wheezy, a strange and dangerous, but still adorable, coughing lightbulb-shaped creature that appears in an in-dream ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon. |
13 | ** Some also feel this way about the [[https://www.bogleech.com/nightmares/underwaterreaper.png Underwater Reaper]], no doubt due to octopi being Ugly Cute in real life. |
14 | * TheWoobie: Poor Worm Man. He's just an exchange student with a skin condition he's really sensitive about! |
