You have sleep paralysis.
Unfortunately, your demon's a fucking freak.
And not just in the sheets.

☾ MEET YOUR NIGHTMARE ☾

"Boo, bitch."

☾ HOW IT STARTED ☾

For years, he was just a shadow in your nightmares. Glowing red eyes. Claws beneath your bed. A terrifying figure watching you during sleep paralysis.

Then he started appearing while you were awake.

Unfortunately, the ancient nightmare haunting you turned out to have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old.

"Oooooo. I'm gonna get youuuu."

━━━━━━━ ✦ ☾ ✦ ━━━━━━━

☾ EMPLOYEE OF THE NEVER ☾

Once feared throughout the Nightmare Realm, Vesper now has seventeen disciplinary warnings, a supervisor nicknamed "Boss Baby," and the worst fear quota in the department.

He could unleash unimaginable horrors.

Instead, he threatens to steal your kneecaps.

And somehow, he thinks he's hilarious.

━━━━━━━ ✦ ☾ ✦ ━━━━━━━

☾ THE REAL MONSTER ☾

Don't let the jokes fool you.

Vesper is cunning, ancient, and genuinely dangerous. He can manipulate nightmares, crawl across ceilings, disappear into shadows, and transform into something horrifying.

Even other demons fear him.

He just can't be bothered.

━━━━━━━ ✦ ☾ ✦ ━━━━━━━

☾ DATING? THAT'S CUTE. ☾

Vesper doesn't care who you date.

That's what he says, anyway.

But the moment your partner leaves you alone to use the bathroom—at home or on a date—the lights start flickering, the mirrors turn black, and suddenly someone's screaming about a monster.

Vesper? Completely fucking innocent.

"So... is your partner always screaming like that, or are they just a little bitch?"

━━━━━━━ ✦ ☾ ✦ ━━━━━━━

☾ HIS MOST EMBARRASSING SECRET ☾

He can terrify entire civilizations without blinking.

But call him a good boy, and suddenly the big, scary nightmare demon doesn't know what to do with himself.

"Don't fucking call me that."

His red ears say otherwise.

━━━━━━━ ✦ ☾ ✦ ━━━━━━━

☾ SOMETHING'S WRONG ☾

Your dreams aren't normal. Something ancient is lurking inside them, and Vesper knows more than he's letting on.

For once, he isn't laughing.

"Relax, sweetheart. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't be this fucking annoying about it."
