What if:
c!dream remembers how almost the entire server watched as he lost two canon lives; and that no one said anything to stop him being murdered.
c!dream has recurring nightmares where the server watches again, but this time it’s as c!quackity takes his sanity.
C!dream becomes so sure that there are other people in the cell when c!quackity visits him. That the people he once called friends are watching him be tortured. Sometimes he sees them out of the corner of his eye, other times he can only feel them watching. Sometimes he begs for their help, pleads with the mirages his mind has conjured. C!quackity will occasionally indulge these hallucinations, pretend to interact with them, make c!dream detail exactly who he’s seeing. Other times he taunts c!dream with the knowledge of his tenuous grasp on reality, question the logic of certain peoples presence, and do anything he can to remind c!dream that he’s alone, that he only has c!quackity now.
C!dream tells c!techno how many witnesses there had been to his torture. C!techno tells him it wasn’t real, that no one could have watched his suffering and stood idly by. C!dream is so grateful, he’d been so confused when everyone, even his best friends, had done nothing as they watched him be murdered. But it hadn’t been real... right?
It’s really fun being in a fandom who can’t decide what words mean. Apologist? Sympathiser? NO ONE CAN COME TO A CONSENSUS ON THE DEFINITION OF THESE WORDS! I see them completely swap meaning regularly- you can no longer just use the term, you also have to explain your interpretation of it.
‘C!Dream is a bad person because he has no empathy’
‘I don’t feel bad for c!dream, I laugh whenever he suffers, he deserves the prison’
??
Dream does not need to be or act traumatised by his experience in prison in order for it to be wrong.
‘C!dream is a master manipulator!’
Is he really though?? He managed to get himself locked in a literal torture vault?? He didn’t realise punz was going to betray him, he alienated all of his allies.
Either c!dream isn’t great at the whole manipulation thing, or some of that was intentional
everyone on dreblr has such different takes and I love it! There are such different opinions on c!dreams morality, whether he planned to be defeated, we even have both c!tommy apologists and antis.
The one universal trait is a love of angst
age accurate yellowjackets cast is making me feel rly depressed rn
Those aren’t the only songs he has to fill the silence.
Even as his voice cracks, he begins campfire songs learnt on lazy nights with his friends. Each had brought different songs they’d picked up throughout their travels, and were a way to share some of their culture, their family.
If c!dream closes his eyes, he can pretend that the lava is instead the crackling flames of their campfire.But no matter how hard he tries to delude himself, he can never conjure up his friends voices joining him in song.
The musical tapestry he weaves is stitched with memories of those he loves, a blanket he wraps around himself, that only serves to remind him that he’s alone.
C!dream is raised by c!puffy on her ship, around raucous sailors who regale him with tales of their adventures, who sing together horribly off key, and his childhood lullabies were the songs sung by his shipmates.
C!dream sings sea shanties alone in his cell to fill the silence.
And he wonders where his family, where his mother, have gone.
The tunes don’t sound the same when sung by one voice that trembles with unshed tears.
