YottaCat Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Let's get straight to the point: Woodie's quote implies that it's a liquid, Webber's quote says it's "cold and slippery" but Willow's quote says it's "Still warm" and lastly Wortox's quote implies that it's squishy, so it could be a slippery squishy liquid that can be warm or cold on different people's perspective, Could this mean that nightmare fuel is some kind of jello? Who knows... Warly can make "Grim Galette". This implies that nightmare fuel CAN be consumable, just not raw, Webber's quotes says it "tastes good" (which is actually kind of suprising) but Wendy's quote says it tastes like "melancholy" and Wickerbottom's quote says it tastes like "magic", but what would magic and melancholy taste like? Bitter? Sweet? I've been wondering for a while now and I need answers on what nightmare fuel canonically tastes like. Let's also talk about the effects now, obviously eating grim galette swaps your health and sanity, but then again being exposed to nightmare fuel itself seems to damage your mind (Like if you are holding a dark sword/wearing night armor). So obviously eating nightmare fuel will most likely do something with the mind but also there is Maxwell's quote when examining the ancient guardian: "My my, the fuel has changed you", But how did the fuel change him? Most likely just made the guardian insane or something like that, but maybe it also gave him lots of health? Just like grim galette? I haven't really looked that deep into the lore (if there is any, I heard there was some but I don't really know much, other than that ancient civilization thing in the metheus that I vaguely remember) so idk if this is true or not. Although I'm pretty sure there was some nightmare fuel involved so we can get info on that. Lastly, what would it taste like raw? Obviously the grim galette is cooked, and obviously you cannot eat raw nightmare fuel. The grim galette, however, has onions and potatoes that can alter the taste, maybe raw nightmare fuel doesn't taste like "magic" and "melancholy" due to the ingredients/cooking. Imo I think nightmare fuel tastes bitter. And as earlier, it seems as if nightmare fuel is some kind of jello (if you consider that liquid). Nightmare Fuel is also a common term on the internet to describe something, well, nightmarish. So maybe it tastes like your worst nightmare (But just like it tasting like magic or melancholy, that doesn't make sense either). Or maybe, it tastes like your least favorite food (Or in this case, the eternal fruitcake for every character because they would literally refuse to eat it even if they are starving). Anyways, if you have more info on this subject, please tell me. Maybe we can get an answer on this subject.

I don't like puke, so I think it tastes like puke First of all, just because something is bad in general doesn't mean it would have a bad taste, like the cotton candy in the attic, it tastes good, but probably isn't good for you.

I mean I guess that's common sense, but most quotes on the grim galette are referring to how scary/bad it LOOKS (except for Walter who thinks it looks good). And Warly outright says "It's not as scary as it looks" So I still don't think cooked nightmare fuel tastes bad, although raw nightmare fuel most likely does. Or maybe it's not the nightmare fuel being cooked that is making it not taste bad, but rather the onions/potatoes.

Karitha Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think it's taste like our desire and lust, maybe our traumatic memories. I think the nightmare point is not bc it's terrific, it's because of the how it's killing our willpower. Like the ring from LoTR. I think it's jelly and soft too. About their effects to others, I'm not sure but I think the nightmare fuel is kind of meat of nightmare creatures. The clockworks are corrupted by nightmare creatures not nightmare fuel. Also Charlie corrupted by nightmare creatures too, but as a human, she have more willpower then creatures. Just like how Woodie can control his curse powers but werepigs can't. Of course nightmare power is much stronger.
