I Don’t Think Anyone Has To Like C!dream. If Hating Him Is How You Enjoy The Story-go For It! If The

If I see one more person say that c!dream was self harming for attention I am going to go apeshit

Fun fact- raw potatoes have high amounts of vitamin c. At least c!dream won’t get scurvy?

Some people- the exile arc was harmful, it nearly drove c!tommy to suicide’

Me- ‘okay we can agree on that! And that the prison arc is also harmful because c!dream has been driven to suicide. Right?’

Some people- ‘no c!dream is a psychopath/ is incapable of feeling bad/ is only copying how c!tommy reacted/ is manipulating everyone/ deserves it.’

What. The. Fuck.

People creating entire cultures for mc hybrid species is the best?? They might be my fav fic types, they make the story that much more immersive!

(My two favs are this and this, be sure to read the tags!)

On the whole who’s older, c!wilbur or c!techno debate I may have overthought my answer...

I love the idea of c!techno not knowing his birthday and choosing c!wilburs’ as his own? And this of course leads to many wonderful angst opportunities! But then I got to thinking.. how would c!techno know his birthday?? HOW DO PIGLINS TELL TIME??!!

There is no day/night cycle in the nether! Clocks don’t work!! There aren’t even seasons! But then I decided to just think up some cool piglin cultural practices that might work.

First of all piglins don’t have any sort of sleep schedule. They sleep when they want! The only real requirement is making sure that there are always some people awake and on lookout duty, and certain events might mean that an entire community is awake all at one time, but other then that it’s a case by case basis.

C!techno still has the strangest sleeping habits (at least to the overworlders around him). Whenever someone mentions their sleep schedule around him he gets incredibly confused. He can fall asleep whenever he needs to, in any light conditions (This comes in handy when he’s in pandoras vault). He may function similarly to someone with non-24-hour sleep-wake-disorder but I need to do more research before making that comparison! (Although that would certainly make an interesting point about the concept of the social model of disability? I may make a post in the future!).

How would piglins determine age? My idea around this is that age is determined by milestones. There are words in the piglin language that mean ‘walking age’ or ‘talking age’, and are used to refer to a child once they’ve reached that milestone. This may also mean that their society has a greater understanding of how different people mature at different speeds, that two children might meet their early milestones all at the same time, that may change as they get older, or vice versa. In the case of certain disabilities it would be looked at on a case by case basis, and if a certain milestone is skipped that wouldn’t be an issue! I imagine that ‘tusking age’ would be the most important, and correspond with the overworlds’ idea of adulthood. There are so many cool add ons that could be incorporated into this concept! For example ‘teaching age’ could be bestowed upon a piglin once they’ve grown to old to participate in combat, and instead act as teachers and community leaders.

When c!techno is asked his age, and then responds with a piglin word, everyone is incredibly confused. C!techno is then absolutely baffled by the overworld concept of age. He asks if these numbers always correspond to someones maturity, and is further confused when told no. Because if that was the case then why is so much importance placed on them! Mind you, he’s spent a while around an immortal so that definitely didn’t help his understanding.

If anyone has any additions to this I’d love to hear them! Worldbuilding is so much fun. I also hope there aren’t any glaring errors in this, but please let me know if there are

C!dream antis will really argue that torture is fine as long as the character has done enough things wrong, and then call us the abuse apologists

‘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

some dictionary definitions to review:

Abuse

Torture

Manipulation

Felonies

Morals

Sympathiser

Apologist

Justify

Excuse

Explain

Lava itself is odourless, but some types release gases and minerals that have a strong smell. One of the most common gases is sulphur, which smells like rotten eggs. 1 2

Sulphur gas in high enough doses can be dangerous, but its detectable to the human nose even at safe levels. (Source)

Also according to this source, the lava oceans/source blocks in the nether and mc in general would probably be orourless, but the flowing lava and lava falls would have a strong smell. This also applies to pandoras vault!

(Also just imagine c!dream complaining about the awful smell in the vault, and piglin hybrid c!techno says it reminds him of home,,,)

fun fact- both the nether and pandoras vault probably smell like rotten eggs

For anyone who enjoyed seeing c!dream ‘get what he deserved’ in pandoras vault- have you done any research into the prison industrial complex?
