I've Gotta Say That There Is No Better Achievement As A Neurodivergent Person Than Hyperfixating On A

Hello tumblr friends have some undercooked food

It is 4am i have to get up at 6 i am so sleep deprived. Anyway hi lovelies some time no see, have this crappy drunz doodle i might or (more likely) might not turn into something actually decent later

(Pookie made me do it this is very un-serious <3)

i love how for fanart of basically any dsmp character there's so many variations, even with the characters with "boring" skins like purpled, except for punz. every drawing of punz i've seen has the exact same design. he's just Some Guy in a white hoodie with a medallion every single time. especially in fanart where he's next to dream, "terrifying, almost horror-like drawing of a masked creature wearing a huge green cloak and his bestie, Random Blond Gamer"

mutuals do this!!!!

c!dream can't read maps. he doesn't understand a lot of big words. politics flies over his head and he tries his best to follow, but the gap in knowledge is evident in every step of the way.

he quotes the lion king at his best friend. he names his beloved horse after a dreamworks character. he sings a mickey mouse clubhouse song when he sees the hot dog van.

c!dream likes flowers, and he loved his parrot. he thinks nudity is funny, and he wants people to think he's cool. he isn't cool: he stumbles over his words, he gets talked over, he doesn't stand up for himself when others put words in his mouth because he knows nobody ever listens.

he named his crossbow a dick joke, then all his tools and armor an edgy version of his name. he built a big scary evil lair — on c!techno's lawn, and then another, for some convoluted, nonsensical plan based entirely on this childish need for things to go back to how they used to be.

he's just a guy. he's 22 years old and he wants nothing more than for everyone else to think he's mature and powerful and great. he's none of that. he's just a young man doing terrible things to others and himself because he's clinging to an idealized past that he will never get back.

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

The Dream Team cats!!! :D (these little babies are so cute to draw 💚🫶🏼)

Watching irritating commentary YouTubers defending Dream is healing a part of my soul that I thought would never be healed still hate that genre of youtube with a burning passion but it’s nice seeing them spread the Dream/pos agenda

I’ve also noticed that in a lot of the videos I’ve seen that are more critical of Dream, the comments are absolutely roasting them and disagreeing/correcting misinfo like it seems like the majority of YouTube is on Dream’s side for this one. never thought I’d see the day 😭

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]

✂️ You tried ambushing me in a little cave.

[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.”

I am starting to miss 2016 woke in some ways. Girlboss era I’m sorry I ever mocked you…

pretty obsessed with the idea of 'somewhere on the aroace spectrum' c!techno who has been around for a long time and never had anything more than a deep (q)platonic love for c!phil meeting c!dream and going 'phil, i think i might be in love' and phil just. pointing at dream like 'that? really? him? of all bloody people?'

and techno just nods, 'yup.'
