Every cdream relationship/ship is so angst filled that people would eat it up but nooooooo
Warning for body horror (I think? No drawings just writing
The rest is under cut
(These are all in stages, the more you use it the more you progress, there’s not exact amount to break through the next stage, all just depends on the strength of the user)
Stage 1: starts with slight headaches, not too bad but still noticeable, there’s usually a specific spot where all the pain hurts the most, this is where the horn/s will come out
You may start to lose weight too, may be from all the fats turning into energy, and then magic
Y’know, from reviving
Stage 2: you start feeling lighter, this turns out to be your bones thinning and bone marrow disappearing (who knows where? (you’ll find out soon) Dream only figure out stage 2 when Quackity cuts off his leg)
You will feel very wobbly! Your bones are still adjusting to how light you feel (must’ve hurt putting on that armour, did holding the axe feel like it was going to rip your arm off from the weight?)
Stage 3: you start to feel a swelling headache, no longer a slight one, it’s so painful some flashes will make you lose your vision, but don’t worry, there’s still a chance to go back (your only chance out)
Stage 4: The point of no return is when your head starts to swell, for dreams case, this was the middle of the forehead, many with think they somehow hit their head and forgot, Dreams too smart for that, he figured it out pretty quickly
Final stage: For a while you’re skin will adjust, then, it’ll stretch, and stretch, and stretch, until about one inch protrudes from you skull, then it wants out quicker, it’ll grow quicker, your skin with start to grow irradiated and red, you’ll want to rip your skin out, the horn will do that one itself
Now the horn is different depending on your species, if you already have horns, great! You skipped a bunch of the steps, you will feel very unbalanced from the weight, like a drunk! Or you’ll want to drink to stave off the pain.
The bone growth doesn’t look smooth, it looks jagged like a tree branch, nearly willing to split off into parts, maybe it will.
What I’m trying to say is that it looks unnatural, but running from the natural cycle of death is also unnatural too no?
This doesn’t mean unicorns aren’t real, they very much are, maybe Dream was one, or could’ve been one (he was a baby in godly terms, horns wouldn’t have grown for a while) XD is, maybe if he practiced safer magic he could’ve had a smooth one, one that could’ve been shown off,
But no, he’s stuck with this disgusting abnormality on his head now.
Mini comic I did to this

Someone clap I drew cdream but not pre prison or skinny twink #1836
(Not my fault I keep drawing him that way)
If you told me this was cdream when I was younger I would’ve laughed in your face
Just an idea but the revive book made them grow horns, like Schlatt horns grew a bit larger because of use with the revive book, but it was so little that they only got a bit bigger.
Dreams horn also only started to grow while experimenting with the revive book.
Maybe it’s some kind of curse? A tell of who’s or acting dark magic? Maybes it’s the effects and strain of using such a powerful spell that it forces literal bone to move up to the skull.
Your head is your central magic after all : )
Also dream gets migraines whenever he using the book
Hey guys look I’m back with cdream
I did try colouring this and then gave up so I hope the screentones look nice
Pose ref under cut (I tried to find the artist, if anyone knows tell me please)
UNICORN DREAMMM RAAAAA try it ? For idea? :]
They thought if they cut off his horn he’d no longer be able to use magic
They were wrong :)
i love your cicre c!dream design! i recently listened to epic for the first time and watched the amimatics and i kinda saw ody as c!dream after pandora but loved your work aswell! i didnt think anyone in the smp would like epic lol
Tysm!! Another epic fan!!
It never crossed my mind about dream being ody until you pointed out pandora lol
Guess that makes Sam calypso then
I drew Dream as C.irce
White haired ver below
@rat-rosemary
Hi sorry I lost the ask because i wanted to fix something
“I love faceless dream! Like where it is a void behind his mask” (it went something like that)
Couldn't decide if I wanted prison dream or normal so get both lol
As always send me how you see cdreams design and I'll draw it (eventually)
@nekioe
Hhhhh long haired dream my beloved
Comment or put in my asks how you interpret dreams design and I’ll draw it! (Eventually)
I've been going through major artblock and I thought why not draw the man haunting my psyche for the past months'
Problem is idk how I should draw him, so I'm asking you.
The only idea I have on him is that he's definitely not older than like 24-25 so don't expect him to look old.
I'll take any idea no judgement here!!
Also pose ideas please because artblock hitting HARD HARD
Is there even a dream apologist who hates c!technoblade??
When c!Techno is nice to c!Dream when visiting him in prison
tmmys visit to pandora gets me so horrifically bad as someone who was an unstable child forced to hold responsibility over my younger brother, i cannot even begin to try to figure out how to visualize the fucking terror in a way that makes sense.
(Gets kinda heavy so read with caution)
Whenever i get reminded of that scene all i can think about is being like 11 and crying so hard i threw up when he was being a menace and i couldn't stop thinking about how much i wanted to hurt him.
He would regularly mess with me to the point it triggered a panic attack. My fight or flight would go off so hard that i couldn't speak or recognize anything happening around me, it would often also make me really aggressive and ig he found that entertaining.
Guess it really messed with me cuz i still can't get angry without shutting down from fear/adrenaline, best way i can describe the feeling is to imagine being a wild rabbit that's been picked up and knowing you will die if you can't claw yourself out of the hands.
Au where Quackity manages to convince Sam to have Dream in Las Nevadas by installing a tracker on him but that really does jackshit because Dream just runs away and they can't catch up to him
My dear mothers "kitchen" scissors
Here's a few strange habits of mine that i think/have been told are c!dream reminiscent; feel free to include any in ur own head canons if you feel they fit ; v ;
Climbing trees!
Pesifically as high as i can get without the branches giving up on me, i used to do it just to prove i could catch myself when i was younger. Now i just like to sit in the tree tops, it makes me feel powerful for whatever reason. (was raised by cats so that might explain, same with perching on high surfaces in general)
Sleeping in odd places!
Like i physically can't fall asleep unless i am wedged between at lest two things. Always in small or hard to get to places, bonus points if i can camouflage myself. (Master of hide and go seek, i have won several times by straight up passing out in a physically implausible place)
Laying under bushes..
Strangest way i comfort myself is by finding a dark corner of the yard and just chilling in the moss. I call it corpse time, sounds mental but pretending like I'm rotting in the woods makes me feel useful somehow. (Got over my fear of bugs by doing this often when i was a kid)
Keeping a physical book on people...
(They know i do this and are okay w it btw)
Memory issues kick my ass but one way i circumvent this is by having a little notebook where i basically have a character page on all of my friends. I do this so i don't end up with a twisted perception of my favorite people, also to note down all the things they like because my love language is presenting offerings. (Started doing this after gaslighting myself one too many times, i note things down pretty clinically so i can assess people by their actions)
I don’t know why, but I find it interesting how Dream is so many contrasting things…

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
But i want to know if you lovely people are interested in seeing progress or results cuz gods know i am not strong enough to show anyone else
Hi hello im actually okay, stepping back from drama can do wonders yall
Should i doodle the various occasions/reasons my partner has accused me of being "cdream coded"?
I need whimsy in my life, can anyone send me drawings requests? (Will do both fandom and personal prompts)
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
^ here is a basic introduction to both my cats
(Edit jatsi is also commonly called joksu after the finn name of snufkins dad, because it is far too perfect and i was given too much power in what i call my cats)
DREBLR REJOICE! WE HAVE BROUGHT HOME HOPE THE CAT
She is our new little rescue kitty, sweet and a little bit scared of everyone but she is BRAVE and she is SMART and she took a nap leaning on me today and i will protect her with my life <333 :(
Soo me and the beloved were discussing avians, bird anatomy and how birds mimic voices and start to sound like people they're near often. And i wrote this snippet and they somehow convinced me to post it
Keep in mind ive never wrote anything serious and finished in my entire life

Punz leans on a column of the arch that separates their bases little kitchenette and the space dream has claimed as his impromptu "office". ((Aka books scattered haphazardly across the floor and papers plastered to the walls with anything from sticky notes to arrows speared through the scrolls like a prized kill. To punz it looks more like a mental breakdown than a functional workspace, but who is he to judge))
Dream is reading a map, at least attempting to as tired eyes scan through the scramble of lines for the 3rd or 7h time like its going to effect the outcome in any way. Punz catches his attention with a knock to the cold wood, it makes dream flinch and punz only feels a little bad, ((its routine at this point, better to act like nothings changed than make dream feel fragile with gentle movements and an unchanged outcome)) punz can tell dream hasn't slept when he raises his head to tilt it at him expectantly, frazzled feathers and hair that isn't much better off, punz doesn't comment on it. He informs dream he's going to make breakfast now, asking if he's hungry. Dream says 'no', it comes out a little sharper than he meant it, punz looks taken aback, and says he sounds like sam. Dream feels empty as he realizes he can't tell the difference anymore.
Is this just an unnecessarily long set up to one (1) line i wanted to deliver? Yes.
This monstrosity would not exist without @thehatmanawaits so i blame you if this flops<3
