okay wait i’ll never get over the fact that dream trying to communicate and set boundaries was seen as manipulative but tommy making that video to “test” dreams friendship and to get a reaction wasn’t
What's often interesting to me, is Dream spells it out in the finale and people often still don't get it, so I thought it'd be interesting to see what he was actually referencing here. To see where it all started.
[24:27] Tommy: “That first war, me and Tubbo versus you–how it should have ended–why’d you take it?” Dream: “Tommy, you ambushed me and killed me. You stole all my shit! You tried ambushing me in a little cave–you don’t remember that? I feel like you just–your memory is just–gone.”
So here is the ambush Dream is talking about, where Sapnap and Tommy basically decide to just kill Dream and then kept all of his shit. [Death 1]
He gets killed again then tries to take back his stuff. [Death 2]
Tommy kills him for fun right after he respawns with nothing. [Death 3]
Then after Dream gets his stuff back (via our boy Punz) and he takes the discs to get Tommy to stop, he gives Tommy back his items. But unsatisfied, Tommy goes after Dream, gets one of his discs back and hides it in the little cave. Dream tries to find it, while Sapnap and Tommy try to stop him. They are unsuccessful until, Tubbo brings them axes and they sneak up and corner Dream in the little cave, ambushing and killing him. Once again, taking all of his shit, (including, yes, the other disc.) [Death 4]
[27:58] Tommy: “Think about that, we’re could’ve been friends but no because you have to figure out the reason you have to get–” Dream: “Yeah we could’ve but you–you ruined the chance of that long ago. It was you.” Tommy: “I ruined it?” Dream: “You ruined it!”
And I don’t think it’s unfair for Dream to say that in the finale, because for Dream it’s this stream early on, these moments that started it all. It’s these instances of of Dream getting murdered and robbed and made fun of over and over. Him, trying to not just make peace for everyone, but also reclaim respect and peace for himself. It’s Tommy chasing after Dream when he has nothing to kill him and rub it in his face. It’s Dream, even after all of that, giving back their items. It’s these instances of violence taken too far to the point they clearly pissed Dream off and didn’t care or follow his very simple request of just getting an apology and his belongings back that shape my distaste for Tommy and sympathy for Dream. It’s these moments that I feel like are gone from Tommy’s and our memory that highlight a different story.
[28:34] Dream: “Yeah, we could have been friends if you weren’t a little shit.”
Why does Dream catch strays in the most random places THE REEL WASNT EVEN ABOUT HIM ??
not to get vile while im new here BUT i hate hate hate how people talk about c!Dream in the DSMP lore. Like Ohhhhh he planned everything, hes a master manipulater... just say you didnt watch the streams. Hes is literally THE wettest cat ever have you seen him
c!dream with long hair my beloved but i love designs where he has REALLY short hair after prison. something about healing and cutting off the white and scruffy hair that he grew while imprisoned and growing new hair but ALSO something very transmasc if you will
Dream wearing a flower crown!!! <3
One of my long time (lowkey projecting but it fits character) head canons is that he deals with bad insomnia by literally just exhausting himself to force sleep like running until he can't and collapsing under a random tree or something for some sleepy time since its already like soft confirmed that he rarely sleeps and when he does its not really anywhere in particular just out in the wild somewhere people dont go
(Also for added angst factor the burn in his chest would probably remind him of old times, besides he feels like the type that would find comfort in a painful constant over something unfamiliar)
headcanon: c!dream just falls asleep places. he's just the eepiest of little guys
colorblindness check! make sure you can see all of the shapes in the circles; if not, that might mean you've lost some of your ability to see color!
OKAY I GENUINELY NEED INPUT NOW, ive been procrastinating cosplay for literally 4 years now, i will work on it purely because happiness and fictional characters can't hurt me
