Hey Guys... Just An Idea... Torture Is, Bad?

the fact I’m currently typing up a whole research document in order to defend c!dream,, I’m most definitely waay too invested

For those who’d like to minimize the impact of solitary confinement, here’s two excerpts from an article compiling accounts of those who were subjected to it.

‘From its earliest use in this country, we've known what isolation does to the minds of human beings. The first all-solitary-confinement prison in the U.S., in Auburn, New York, was shut down in 1822, after only 18 months of operation, when the governor visited and saw that every one of its 26 prisoners had become psychotic.’

‘Within the first week, I started talking to myself. I would think I was seeing stuff out of the corner of my eye. I would turn my head real fast, like I saw something in my cell. The hallucinations—it's not something a lot of us talk about, but all of us had them real bad. You see somebody else in your cell. You hear voices on the stair or coming through the vent.-Nelson’

both c!tommy and c!sapnap have said that Pandora's vault is a fate worse then death

immediately tired of people being all "i'm allowed to hate tommy for the slightest reasons" like. sure. but fucking consider WHY you hate tommy for self-ascribed slight reasons when other characters have done worse, more malicious things. why are you singling out a gay man? why isn't he allowed to express sexual desire? why is his reciprocation of buck's daddy issues joke HIS fault? jesus christ just say you want to sexualize queer men without listening to us talk about our experiences, traumas, and desires

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.

C!dreams diet is not nutrionally sufficient. He has no source of vitamin A or B12. Whilst the latter cause extreme fatigue, the former cause vision problems, especially in low light conditions. He wouldn’t notice it in pandoras vault, not with the ever present lava, but afterwards he is so much more vulnerable. The night is an even bigger threat, and he carries a light source on him at all times.

C!dream learns to fear the night, the shadows, the unknown.

c!dream was proven right about attachments; over and over again

Saying that someone is worthy of torture/ it won’t affect them because they are a ‘psychopath’ is Not Cool.

There are two wolves inside me,,,,, one wants to explain why i feel a certain way abt a dsmp character by providing irl examples; the other wants to tell everyone to fuck off and that I don’t need to justify my feelings abt fictional characters (or anyone, rly)
