From Now On I Will Be Gatekeeping All Villains From C!dream Antis /hj

So many people argue that c!dream being imprisoned and tortured is best for c!tommy... is it really? Surely the most reassuring thing for him would be knowing that his abuser has been rehabilitated and no liber want to hurt him? Instead he just lives everyday unsure if c!dream will escape and hurt him again. Perpetuating the cycle of violence, focusing on the punishment of crimes rather then the prevention of them future ones, hurts everybody, including c!tommy.

Thinking about how c!dream wasn’t left alive out of mercy, but because he was useful. Everyone watched two canon lives taken from him- one after he’d surrendered (which is a war crime btw) and no one said anything. They were perfectly willing to see him perma killed.

Dream knowing his attachments and relationships weren’t what saved his life, but his last remnant of power.

your posts are always a pleasure to read!

i love it when you use irl information to further your point :D i never know when i might learn something new!

your shorter posts are also amazing, you never need too many words to make it super angsty :') /pos

never be afraid to reach out, we love you here <3 /p

thank you so much?!! doing research is so much fun, and I end up learning so much as well!! strangely enough my main aim with most posts is to make people sad,, spreading c!dream angst brings me joy. I've even been working up the confidence to post non dsmp content, and I feel like I have interesting things to say

Many people are of the opinion that some of the abuses that C!Dream faces are in some way justified or excusable. Which, no! Abuse is never okay! But lets put that aside for one moment. Lets pretend that yes, c!dream being subject to solitary confinement is defensable due to the moral boundaries that he’d crossed. That he posed such a threat to other people, that he was bad enough of a person, that his rights are now null and void.

Where do we draw the line? I’m genuinely curious, at what point in the storyline did people no longer think he deserved adequate living conditions? What action did he take that then made it perfectly okay for him to be cut off from any form of support network? What moment meant that his canonical self harm could then be dismissed as attention seeking?

And if we’ve now established that there is some point when abuse is justified, surely that logic must be applied universally? What action would c!tommy have to take where exile was okay? Where is that line in the sand?

The logic behind excusing the conditions of pandoras vault is the same behind justifying the exile arc.

Anytime someone dehumanises c!dream I love him even more out of spite

Stay up till 5am for the mcc or wake up at 5am for the mcc, that is the question

what if after pandoras vault c!dream develops agoraphobia.

C!techno had teased him for not having a house for so long, and now he can barely even leave his room.

thinking about c!dreams clock once again

Constantly throwing it away makes so much sense, beyond just as a way to see c!sam.

The constant ticking only serves to let him feel every second of his time imprisoned. To know exactly how many days he’s been locked away, that’s a torture all on it’s own. But so would ignorance. To be unsure of how much time has passed between each delivery of food rations. Are they coming further apart now? C!sam comes to give him a new clock and says its been only a day, but he’d been so sure a week had passed.

an effect of solitary confinement is paranoia. C!dream begins to suspect his clock has been tampered with. It speeds up, slows down. Surely it hasn’t been that long yet? And yet, surely its been longer?

he cares too much about this inanimate object. Anytime he realises that he couldn’t bare to have it taken from him, he destroys it himself.

Being abusive and being mentally ill are not mutually exclusive

how exactly is exile different from pandoras vault?

Is it because ctommy’s a minor? Does that mean it would have been okay if c!dream had simply waited a year? Or was it that c!tommy hadn’t done anything ‘bad enough’ to deserve it. Couldn’t c!dream then argue that he would have done worse things, if he hadn’t intervened?

The actions the server took to condemn c!dream only served to validate his choices.
