I love the thought of c!Dream being deeply unsettling. There's something off about him, something you can't put your finger on, that makes you dread being alone in a room together. Even when he's trapped in a prison cell, it feels like he's the one with the power. I love the thought of that being intentional—when he has no weapons, he can make his own. He still has his mind. He still has his voice.
Obviously that's not who c!Dream is By Default, but it's interesting how well he can play the character when he chooses to. When he decides it can work to his benefit.
