Forgive me.

the dreamverse AU continues! this time, they’re in a bit of a pinch

this is formatted like a webweave only it's not really one bc i srsly couldn't make a webweave like for my life but at the same time i didn't know how else to condense the brainrot into a consumable form. anyway. something something things that changed and things that didn't, vassal drives me crazy bonkers insane and i think about c!dream in season 1a forever and ever and ever, holy fuck.

(i tried colorcoding but idk how much it helps at all. green emphasizes how he sees L'manburg in relation to the Dream SMP, blue emphasizes his motivations re: L'manburg and how he sees its residents into and out of Pogtopia, and yellow specifically highlights him and Wilbur, specifically how he treats him and his words with authority.)

I don’t think cc!Dream’s audio is meant to make c!Dream sympathetic. It is an audio practice of c!Dream, and c!Dream is known to be an extremely unreliable narrator, especially when trying to make it out that “woe is me, I was pushed to this”. I think c!Dream is definitely sympathetic, however not because he was pushed to this point, but because of how lonely he is and how determined he is to fulfill a futile plan.

So yeah, cool audio, but it isn’t exactly reliable, considering it’s coming from c!Dream. And yes, he can be honest- brutally sometimes- however, I think this is the time he is choosing to twist his actions and make it seem like he’s a victim to his own choices. Humans aren’t snakes, we’re aware of choices much more. Snakes bite to protect, and humans can blow up; can exile; can destroy, but that isn’t to protect.
