hope you're doing okay 🫂🫂

thank you anon <33 I hope you’re doing okay and taking care of yourself

to be honest? I feel very calm right now. I just think that, no matter the outcome, we’re all gonna be okay <3 and I’m not gonna expend extra energy being upset before I even know the full picture. Which is so much easier said than done but somehow that switch got flipped in my brain so.

I think I’ll probably have more to say after george’s statement. I doubt I’ll be this calm forever and it’s likely I will cry again at some point. But that’s okay. It’s all a push and pull, and however you’re feeling about the situation is totally fine and valid.

hm. I don’t think fandom should ever be more of a source of stress than comfort. I know you didn’t ask, but as of right now, I feel like my level of investment in the dream team and related creators is at a very healthy level. Especially compared to how I was in oct ‘22 lol. But as it is, I have other interests I can fall back on. A lot of my creative works have always been about the dsmp characters. My point is that taking a step back whilst this unfolds has been almost surprisingly easy for me. And, honestly, after the first few hours when I was processing everything, I feel pretty level headed about everything.

Anyway, it’s okay to be not okay right now. It’s okay to step back. It’s okay to leave regardless of the outcome because this fandom can be stressful. And if you ever reach a point where that stress isn’t worth the good parts of the fandom? then it’s okay to leave.

okay that’s all I have to say right now sorry for rambling. to anyone who’s reading this: go get a drink of water and be kind to yourself <3

we're so fucking back

Hi hello im actually okay, stepping back from drama can do wonders yall

i love c!dream because man went into a paranoid spiral after being given a book that grants power over death and immediately was like 'i need to find a way to contain Something Powerful like death itself forever' and then decided that actually the best course of action was to put himself into the giant self-harm box and thought that makes perfect sense, actually.

Dream wearing a flower crown!!! <3

jokes about the prison arc are all well and good but they also tend evince a very telling discomfort with the source material.

I know the prison arc has done its job well when people who take exile dead serious are forced to laugh and make uncomfortable jokes to avoid facing the tone of the prison arc head-on

strongly agree / agree / ambivalent / disagree / strongly disagree / don’t care whatsoever

REAL AS HELL !!! it's really interesting especially for the group of people as u mention, considering that honestly most of the prison arc is played Completely straight with the only possible exception of like, prison podcast, which really didn't do anything to make the prison a joke as much as it was just c!techno being c!techno. compared to exile, where like, anywhere from 80-90% of the discduo interactions were literally just fooling around bookended by srs rp (exploding tommy's stuff and an ominous statement before c!dream dipped for the day, basically.)

it's not that jokes about either or taking either serious are wrong, but it's kind of interesting to see how the prison is treated by certain groups of fans as unpalatable Unless it's a joke. the torture can't be anything but a meme. it's perfectly fine and dandy to look at the canonical torture and say "hey what if c!quackity was just doing [x inconsequential action] to piss c!dream off" when there's bloodstains on the prime path, but somehow Wrong and going Against The Spirit Of The Server if you take the torture in the opposite direction by taking it to its logical extreme of what could have been allowed in the literal explicit torture sessions of daily torture. and yeah, it all goes to show how well the prison arc did its job, because sometimes it feels like people can't quite look at it head on. which is fascinating.

c!dream creature anyone? my roman empire <3
