So, since March, I'm learning English, kind of my own, like I don't take classes or else. I'm doing it because of my actual self interest, which is exclusively Anglophone, and I watch a lot of streams, of videos, sometimes with the YouTube automatic subtitles, sometimes with the subtitles the creator has put. I'm reading, too, English on twitter, Reddit, tumblr but also fanfictions, press, academic articles, and I still switch with Google translation from English to French and the other way around but I'm getting better, better in English then in Spanish with all my damn years of teaching in school and university. And I write too! Posts, and fanfics! Well it's not perfect but still.
The point is, my mom gave me a biscuits recipe last week, the millionaire shortbread, and for some reason, she spelt out and translated "shortbread". I feel mildly upset because I fucking now what that means and how you write it. She could at least ask me, instead of assuming that I don't know shit. Even before my self-taught I knew what "short" and "bread" meant ffs. If she wants to spell me something, then she can spell "miscellaneous" because this world is a nightmare.

DSMP lore 06/06/2022 (spoilers)
ok so my thoughts about the last lore stream (Wilbur/Tommy/Dream, I didnt see yet the one with Foolish/Dream), the evolution of the characters etc etc. Will be too long but I don't care. There is obviously TW: suicide, suicidal attempt, mental illness, mention of torture etc.
I'm kinda late about the lore, I'm still catching up but I did read some stuff on the DSMP wiki and hang out on twitter, so I have some knowledge I guess.
I didn't see the c!Wilbur/c!Foundy stream but I know it ended with the suicide of Fundy; this, with the love that c!Wilbur have for c!Tommy and the mention of his suicidal attempt must really triggered him, which the hallucination.
He didn't knew c!Dream was out of prison, and, from his point of view, sees c!Dream as someone who enjoyed the despair of c!Tommy; I won't say he didn't enjoyed it at all, obviously, but we didn't have the c!Dream's current thoughts about what he inflicted to c!Tommy, in particular his suicidal attempt.
I don't know how c!Dream reacted when he realized c!Tommy tried to kill himself (must be pretty obvious when you see the tower, c!Wilbur was just obsessed with how he see c!Dream as his hero). c!Dream didn't really wanted the death of Tommy at this point (he hadn't used the Revival Book yet). He wanted to torment him, have him under his influence; and, when he realized that Tommy took refuge at c!Techno's house, he didn't exige c!Tommy (well, yes, kinda, but he couldn't take c!Techno in a fight and be sure to survive it, and he left him "alone" even when he came back with Ghostbur). It looked more like torment c!Tommy in an other way, to remind him he's still here and still have power on his life.
There was this conversation between c!Sam et c!Dream after the escape of c!Techno, where c!Dream said he thought c!Tommy would be fine in this prison. I don't think he really believed what he said, but maybe, by tasting his own medecine for so long, he realized how bad it would have been; especially when c!Sam refused to let him see the courtyard.
(Well honestly I don't really believe myself when I say that. However, he might have hoped that he would have a better tratement from c!Sam.)
From the lore with c!Punz, he planified ending up in prison, but he did not expect to be tortured and forced by c!Quackity to ask c!Techno to come and ending up by being trapped with him. He probably hoped that c!Techno would help him to escape, but not necessarily this way. c!Punz said it, that he expected to see c!Dream earlier.
I don't even know if he planified to kill c!Tommy in the prison. It was a way to show that the Revival Book actually exists, but Tommy stayed a while with him in the jail (a week if I remember well?). he could have killed him sooner and seemed to be finally acting out of despise and anger. From the POV of c!Sam, we can hear him laugh after killing him, but as I see someone say, it's not necessarily joy.
I'm saying that as someone who experienced some form of "madness": for a couple of month, after a very traumatic event, it happened that I maugh but in a weird way, like something was scratching my throat and chest. I didn't want to laugh, it wasn't by happyness and the laugh was weird, like a stereotype of the laugh of some bad guyTM. So, yes, some people can laugh but not from joy, from deep despair, I will say.
It would ask a really, really good knowledge about, I don't know, psychiatry, psychology, stuff like that from the lore's writers (and if it the case, I'm really impressed like please marry me idk??). So it's just a hypothesis (and as a c!Dream apologist I really like it) (in the case you didn't understand yet that I'm a apologist).
So back to the stream: c!Wilbur came up with a idea really quick, and I didn't even understood what was the plan he told Tommy because I'm not good enough in English, but his move was REALLY clever like YES destroy those damn discs it would resolve so many things I'm yearning for their destruction I'm not kidding.
As the audience, we are not supposed no know it, but there is a video on Dream's second channel where he explore the limits of the Revival Book with c!Punz. I didn't see it yet (again) but from what I read, the Book have limits; you can't revive someone again and again (chronologically speaking, I don't know if c!Dream knew that when he threatened c!Tommy with the axe of peace, maybe not - and c!Tommy didn't knew anyway). So this is why he panicked when c!Wilbur threatened to kill himself; he would lost some power on c!Wilbur, and the discs could burn after his death on the lava.
The L'Manberg move was a little the "i come back after years to tell you I'm right about this dispute everyone forgot" like damn this ego dude. But more probably, it was a way to hurt c!Dream's ego, to make him lose power. People already hate him, no one would care about the L'Manberg book, but it still hurts.
About the discs, to force c!Dream to burn them is another attack on his ego and pride. It's not even watching someone else destroy them where he can think "I wasn't quick enough, there was nothing I could do", because he have to do it himself, put a end by himself of all the power he had on c!Tommy; he destroyed what, "basically", brought the war and all the problems on the Dream SMP. It's a symbol and it's PAINFUL. Like I'm a c!Dream apologist and I think it was beautiful like YEAH it will destroy him please do Wilbur. I can't explain further because I don't have the words but anyway. (Dream explains here on Reddit lol).
I was a little disppointed that the real discs wasn't really destroyed to be honest (not disappointed by the lore's writers of course). Because bro, I really hate those dics. But from what Wilbur said on Reddit (? I think), it's a way for Tommy to put an open ending to his story, so he can stop lore and come back when he wants to (and I guess the story of c!Wilbur is comming to an end too, maybe with an open ending too).
If we stuck to the role-play, c!Tommy could accidentally reveal the discs sill exist, but I don't think it will happen (and if it happens I swear to god I will lose my mind). It allows to end the Discs Era (finally) and therefore leave place for new et more relevant plot. So, yeah, since c!Dream wasn't expecting the coming of c!Wilbur and Tommy (c!Wilbur stopped being on his side from the moment he learned that c!Tommy tried to kill himself), he probably think he burned the real discs and is likely to leave c!Tommy alone since he doesn't have power on him anymore.
NOW, what can happen? c!Dream is really alone: c!George refused to follow him to destroy Kinoko Kingdom, c!Sapnap wants to kill him, the SMP hates him, c!Techno is a temporary ally, at the condition he can have something in exchange. His only friend is, in the end, c!Punz, and it's great, yes, but he just lost his influence on c!Tommy and c!Wilbur, c!George and even taked one of his life, there is a book claiming he was a terrorist; if we stuck with a psychology analysis, he must also be traumatized by the tortures, and his only actual shelter is the prison he was locked on (which is not really good for mental health I think). He's in a really, really bad situation (which i love).
As I said, I didn't see the stream with Foolish so maybe I'm just saying bullshit, but he might have a redemption arc. It would be really difficult (no shit Sherlock) since almost everyone is against him but, in my opinion, it would be far more interesting that seeing another attempt to terrorise everyone and just take back power. I mean, he can try to regain his power, but I would prefer that he can't manage it; it would be really more interesting.
What I said is inspired by the Reddit's posts of Wilbur and Dream, here:
"Although most people like to think that absolutely everything c!Dream does is based in strategy, emotions do play a large roll especially when it comes to quick decisions. " - Dream
For me, it's a proof that c!Dream can't plan everything, there are things he does not foresee and does not control; by losing allies, he's losing more and more control. People are unpredictable, and he spent too much time away during their evolution. They changed, they have new alliances, new allegiances, as we see with George's refusal to destroy Kinoko Kingdom. He's human and affected by he tortures, his loneliness, the lost.
Anyway I'm autistic so yes I talk too much about it, I don't care. I can't wait to see what happens next; even if the lore of Tommy and Wilbur seems to going to an end, it's not necessarily the case for Dream. Also I want more interactions between c!George and c!Dream DNF for the win I love them I love homosexuality byyye I hope my english wasn't too bad follow me on twitter at TheLasCorridor love u
