I have been cursed???? I set my pfp to this weird bunny thing i drew some time ago AND NOW IT WON'T LEAVE sorry chat gonna have to deal with this eldrich beast for the time being
does it count if i'm technically type A but never actually follow the intricate plans my brain likes to make and opt to stress myself out instead?
The thing about snakes is, and the thing I really like about cc!Dream’s metaphor, is that snakes don’t like to bite. Snakes don’t want, to bite. Especially those with venom.
Biting is risky, biting is a last line of defense. A snake will do literally everything else before that, to scare the danger away. They’ll puff up, flatten themselves, open their hoods if they have one, open their mouths, make themselves look bigger, more threatening. They’ll hiss and buzz their tails and make noise and back up. And when everything else fails, they bite.
And sometimes biting is the only thing that works. It’s the only thing that sticks.
And maybe a snake that just bites is a snake that’s learned that nothing else works.
How long did it take for c!Dream to finally learn that nothing else works? How many other things has he tried? How many other times has he failed?
When does a snake become a snake that just bites?
men will say stop calling me puppy and then look like this
dream’s favorite disney princess is belle, his favorite flower was the rose but changed it to ‘the most recent flower he received’, he cried to marley and me, he cried at the prospect of not getting to see spiderman no way home in theaters, he sent a whole box of merch to a fan’s family because their little brother got bullied, he keeps homeless kits in his car, he left work early and cried for hours when he found out his cat was dying, his bought his mom a pair of earrings on mother’s day, he keeps every fan letter ever sent to him in a scrapbook, he sends long and meaningful thanksgiving messages to friends and family every year, he visited a children’s hospital and sang for them, he draws smiley faces on his nails, he had a room built just for patches, he wanted a quail coop at his house :(

Rewatching VODs again and it's sad to see how at the start of his imprisonment, Dream was trying so hard to downplay the prison's conditions and stay optimistic about them.
During Tommy's first visit, he says to Tommy, "It's not too bad, right? I can write and I can read and they bring me food." He talks about the new game he can play with his clock.
When Bad visits, Dream admits that Sam sometimes gives him less food when he burns his clock, but that he's not starving because he "[has] potatoes." He says that Sam is "treating [him] amazing" and that he's fine when Bad asks him if he's okay.
Tommy visits him again a month after the first visit, and by then Dream's attitude has changed entirely. Tommy says he's been suffering from success, and Dream replies, "Me too. Except for without the success part, just suffering." Then when Quackity visits him the first time and asks how he's been, Dream only says, "I've been."
Later after Techno gets locked up with Dream, he no longer attempts to downplay anything. Techno jokingly complains about Dream not being positive, and Dream can only think of saying, "Since you've been in here, I haven't been tortured. So I'll give you that much, that's been better." He tells Techno how there's absolutely nothing to do in the cell and how he's been eating nothing but "raw, disgusting potatoes" for the past months.
Dream did his best to convince himself and others that everything would be fine, that he could deal with the prison's conditions. He tells Sam that he thought the prisoner (himself) "would be fine with potatoes, would be fine with not seeing the courtyard." That he didn't realize how bad it would be. But the longer his imprisonment lasted, the harder it became to deal with it. Dream tries one last time to ask Sam for better food and to see the courtyard and then is forced to give up, trapped behind glass and with no hope of ever getting out.
its late and im sleepy so i might be remembering things wrong but something that really gets me abt c!dream is that he isn’t mad at, or at least doesn’t do anything about, any of the other people who knew about the torture and did nothing. he wasn’t mad at c!bad or c!ant. and the only revenge he initiated completely on his own without prompting was against c!q. I wonder if he was even going to do anything about c!sam until he found him face to face in the prison, or if he just though that c!techno would finish him off. but then sam was there and dream decided right then just how much he had to say.
The L’Manberg crater would’ve never been that big without Dream’s obsidian grid and TNT rain so excluding him from your posts about Doomsday is cringe btw
here to be a creature mostly, might indulge in putting my faves in a box to psychoanalyze them from time to to time
