C!dream antis often end up weirdly pro c!dream??? If he truly is a ‘monster incapable of empathy’ I find him less responsible. Whereas if he cared about people, understood their feelings, and hurt them regardless? That makes his actions so much worse.
But no I’m not done explaining why this shit is hot homophobic garbage and anyone who reblogs it should be ashamed of themselves
Tommy reacted to Buck’s genuine show of vulnerability and fear and bid for connection with reciprocation. He opened up about his own father and his experiences with Gerrard.
It wasn’t “out of the blue” Buck said “we both have daddy issues” with a smirk on his face. He was flirting. He turned the conversation horny.
If your argument relies on ignoring half the actual lines in the scene, it’s just bad logic. You get an F in Media Analysis.
“I would have killed him with a gun” god Good Thing there’s not a well documented pattern of people killing gay men for flirting with them and getting away with it or that would read very poorly. Oh Wait.
“Poisonous” in reference to a gay man is just classic Lavender Scare rhetoric.
The whole vibe of acting like Buck, who again, was the one that first brought up daddy issues, is some passive observer being preyed upon by Tommy? Homophobia. Textbook homophobia.
Blocking anyone who calls you out is troll behavior but that doesn’t excuse the people that reblogged it uncritically. It especially doesn’t excuse the person that put it on my dash.
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.
just thinking about buckley family photos cuz on one side you've got chimney and maddie who are both under 5'7 and on the other side you have buck and tommy who are both 6'2 (—trans-buckleyy)
ever since i saw this ^ post i havent been able to stop thinking abt this incredibly silly idea lmao. jee's toy box is now the biggest saviour of the buckley family photo albums
On the whole who’s older, c!wilbur or c!techno debate I may have overthought my answer...
I love the idea of c!techno not knowing his birthday and choosing c!wilburs’ as his own? And this of course leads to many wonderful angst opportunities! But then I got to thinking.. how would c!techno know his birthday?? HOW DO PIGLINS TELL TIME??!!
There is no day/night cycle in the nether! Clocks don’t work!! There aren’t even seasons! But then I decided to just think up some cool piglin cultural practices that might work.
First of all piglins don’t have any sort of sleep schedule. They sleep when they want! The only real requirement is making sure that there are always some people awake and on lookout duty, and certain events might mean that an entire community is awake all at one time, but other then that it’s a case by case basis.
C!techno still has the strangest sleeping habits (at least to the overworlders around him). Whenever someone mentions their sleep schedule around him he gets incredibly confused. He can fall asleep whenever he needs to, in any light conditions (This comes in handy when he’s in pandoras vault). He may function similarly to someone with non-24-hour sleep-wake-disorder but I need to do more research before making that comparison! (Although that would certainly make an interesting point about the concept of the social model of disability? I may make a post in the future!).
How would piglins determine age? My idea around this is that age is determined by milestones. There are words in the piglin language that mean ‘walking age’ or ‘talking age’, and are used to refer to a child once they’ve reached that milestone. This may also mean that their society has a greater understanding of how different people mature at different speeds, that two children might meet their early milestones all at the same time, that may change as they get older, or vice versa. In the case of certain disabilities it would be looked at on a case by case basis, and if a certain milestone is skipped that wouldn’t be an issue! I imagine that ‘tusking age’ would be the most important, and correspond with the overworlds’ idea of adulthood. There are so many cool add ons that could be incorporated into this concept! For example ‘teaching age’ could be bestowed upon a piglin once they’ve grown to old to participate in combat, and instead act as teachers and community leaders.
When c!techno is asked his age, and then responds with a piglin word, everyone is incredibly confused. C!techno is then absolutely baffled by the overworld concept of age. He asks if these numbers always correspond to someones maturity, and is further confused when told no. Because if that was the case then why is so much importance placed on them! Mind you, he’s spent a while around an immortal so that definitely didn’t help his understanding.
If anyone has any additions to this I’d love to hear them! Worldbuilding is so much fun. I also hope there aren’t any glaring errors in this, but please let me know if there are
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
I’ve seen some people say that pandoras vault was fine until c!quackity started torturing c!dream.
Daily reminder that solitary confinement is a form of torture.
People need to learn what ‘human rights’ actually are. The whole point is they are inalienable. No matter what atrocities someone commits, they should never be taken away.
Human rights are not a privilege.
If you think c!dream deserves torture because ‘he doesn’t have any empathy’, you are not an ally to autistic people.
