Like How Dogs Will Go Absolutely Ham On Their Squeaky Toy But At The Same Time Not Let Anyone Even Touch It - Blog Posts

Just now seeing TVNAT au and i might be falling in love with it just a little bit.

I wanted to ask how this version of dream sees himself? As someone who struggles with dissociation a lot and happens to be guilty of projecting onto our favorite villain, I'm curious on how the lack of pain and having gotten used to "playtime" would affect how he views his body

I remember pretty clearly how such a disconnect with my body and the things it felt would make me think of it more like an object, i thought that might be something interesting to play around with. Does he think of himself like a doll, knowing how easily his limbs can come apart just to be put back together? Does he see himself as one whole or does he see his body as more of a toy?

Apologies for the long ask, tysm for sharing such an interesting concept if you happen to read this<3

Thank you for liking the AU!

TVNAT!Dream sees himself as a 'tool' and has always been a mean to an end. He doesn't treasure it in the sense that he doesn't care about the amount of harm inflicted on it, but he also adores his body in the sense that it remembers all the experiences it went through. Is it complicated? Yes, but in his mind that is how it works.

He cares and doesn't care for his body at the same time. He would destroy it without a thought but also cradle it with care. Losing his sense of pain only further fuel his dissociation.

However, it did make him extra tanky. In addition to the fact that he is essentially immortal due to the revival book, he is an unstoppable force should he decide to go after someone.
