Dream is like, so fucking pathetic, and it makes him an amazing character. Like, I say that in an affectionate way, because he is! He’s quite pathetic! He gave up some of his closest friendships, just for some kind of plan that is justified in his mind.
I’m genuinely curious to see what his plan is, even if it doesn’t work out or something. Like, I’m so curious what he’s thinking is so good; so promising, that he’s willing to hurt some of his previously closest friends, lock himself in a prison of his own making, and just generally go through so much shit for it. Like, that’s dedication right there, and either he’s too stubborn to admit his plan will fail, or it’s genuinely a genius plan (at least, in his mind)
God, fuck, if I think too hard about him my mind just goes vrrrrrrrrrr /pos like!! He’s so fucked up and he’s so pathetic!! He abandoned everyone except for one (possibly two) ally(/ies) just for some kind of plan that’s in his mind!
[thinks about deltarune snowgrave route] [thinks about the exile arc] [id: three one-page comics featuring tommy and dream, with other characters. in the first, they stand over ranboo’s dead body, tommy holding a sword; tommy says “why… why did i… why did i do this?” and dream replies “to make you stronger, remember?” in the second comic, they face down tubbo, holding a sword; tubbo says “stop! what are you doing, dream?!” tommy says “looks like another enemy. want me to kill them?” and tubbo asks “w-tommy? tommy, it’s me!” tommy replies “…tubbo?” in the third comic, dream is fighting technoblade. dream cries out “sapnap! punz!” as techno says “nobody’s comin’ to help you, dream! get over it!” dream says “…tommy.” and techno says “really. the kid? you really think he’s gonna help you now?” as tommy raises his bow to aim at techno’s back. end id]
just had a thought that maybe cdream didn’t want cwilbur to khs because it would’ve ruined the reputation he was trying to build up. that he was innocent and ctommy was lying. if cwilbur had died then there would’ve been proof that cdream let something happen. dykwim
