A C!dream Who, After Prison, Is Fine.

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’

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

never in my life have I been looking forward to a hyperfixation ending,,,

With C!dream claiming to be a god, there are three options.

He’s telling the truth (which is a definite possibly when taking into account c!dreamxd), he’s lying, or he genuinely believes it.

If he’s lying, he was quite literally dehumanising himself. He was trying to make other people see him as a just a threat, instead of a person. It would also serve as a way to purge himself of his attachments, after all, what deity cares about mere humans?

But if he genuinely believed it, that is a delusion of grandeur, and should be taken seriously. It can be a feature of mania or psychosis, and can be extremely dangerous. (C!dream does not necessarily have either of these conditions, but it is concerning nonetheless)

How did I just see someone only care abt the conditions in pandoras vault because of c!tommy being in there??? I hate twitter so much oh my goodness.

‘this is just a mc roleplay and you control how you interact with it’

And

‘The messages in media have a very real impact on people’

i propose that no one is allowed to have an opinion on pandoras vault unless they’ve done some reading on prison abolition/reform

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.

if someone uses all pronouns that does not mean you choose the ones you decide best suit them.

Yes this is about how I’ve only seen she/her used for Eret a handful of times.
