do u ever walk from a social interaction like damn. this is why i keep my mouth shut most of the time
We see eye to eye
how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”
girls night out on the town
I need someone to be unhinged on main, the world is crushing and im too out of it to hyperfixate on media
I made art and doodled and ran around and it's not working, i need someone to remind me of insanity, only the beloathed can save me now
At its heart, the overarching narrative theme of the Dream SMP is not about "Good vs Evil", and to try to analyse its story in that framework is to completely misunderstand and misrepresent what it's trying to say.
Yes, there are characters who do good things, and yes there are characters who do evil things. These are often the same characters. And that's just the actions themselves, taking out of the equation the intentions and context, which does affect the answer to the questions of "was this action good or bad? was it understandable? was it justified?". It's the difference between saying "Character A killed Character B" and "Character A killed Character B in self-defence" - the context matters.
It's not as simple as "well, these characters are opposing this other character who's doing bad things so therefore they must be our Good Characters", and to pretend it is, and that this gives them moral authority forever, is laughable. The story being told is not a story of Good vs Evil - that doesn't mean that those types of stories don't exist, or that they lack value, but only that the Dream SMP is not one of them.
To wash a whole set of characters with the Good brush and another set with the Evil brush is an approach so lacking of nuance and utterly simplistic that to use it in serious analysis would be to so badly misunderstand the themes of the Dream SMP that you're basically making up your own version of canon and trying to pass it off as the true story.

c!Dream is ______. c!Dream deserves _____. If I met c!Dream, I would ______.
c!Dream is a beautiful, charred, mostly-stale cinnamon roll.
c!Dream deserves a slap upside the head, therapy, hugs, and a nice secluded farm out in the boonies where he can grow flowers and carrots and own three parrots, eleven horses, six dogs, and twenty cats.
If I met c!Dream, I would give him a long, comforting hug (probably while ugly crying), then give him a sound drubbing about the head and shoulders with a wiffle bat, after which I would drag him off by the hand to see a therapist.
Confirmed: Dream likes grabbing his friends from behind for snuggles.
cuddlebug :(
the problem with this culture of dehumanizing the people you hate is nothing is ever good enough. there is no apology someone can give that will be 'enough' once they have been othered. it won't be sincere enough, it won't be long enough, it won't be good enough.
because apology and growth were never the goals. the goal was always to have something to use to punish the person with.
here to be a creature mostly, might indulge in putting my faves in a box to psychoanalyze them from time to to time
