Fun Fact- Both The Nether And Pandoras Vault Probably Smell Like Rotten Eggs

When I say ‘it’s just a minecraft roleplay’ I don’t mean that this story doesn’t matter, I mean the people you’re arguing with are real, and the characters you’re defending are not

The removal of all positive traits from c!dream is harmful to abuse survivors.

Abusers are not terrible 100% of the time. Many are leading community members, or known for their charisma and friendliness.

It is an incredibly common narrative that people doubt that they were actually abused, as the perpetrator displayed kindness and positive traits, to both their victims and other people.

When abuse victims do come forward, their experiences are often denied by people who had a good experience with the abuser.

Allowing c!dream not only makes for a more compelling narrative and character, but it also makes it easier for people to identify abusers.

Maybe you still think c!dream is evil, and that’s okay. But evil has a human face.

Those aren’t the only songs he has to fill the silence.

Even as his voice cracks, he begins campfire songs learnt on lazy nights with his friends. Each had brought different songs they’d picked up throughout their travels, and were a way to share some of their culture, their family.

If c!dream closes his eyes, he can pretend that the lava is instead the crackling flames of their campfire.But no matter how hard he tries to delude himself, he can never conjure up his friends voices joining him in song.

The musical tapestry he weaves is stitched with memories of those he loves, a blanket he wraps around himself, that only serves to remind him that he’s alone.

C!dream is raised by c!puffy on her ship, around raucous sailors who regale him with tales of their adventures, who sing together horribly off key, and his childhood lullabies were the songs sung by his shipmates.

C!dream sings sea shanties alone in his cell to fill the silence.

And he wonders where his family, where his mother, have gone.

The tunes don’t sound the same when sung by one voice that trembles with unshed tears.

touch starved c!dream really do be making me feel things

The weakest links are those who hold all the same beliefs as all of us here on dreblr, and yet refuse to call themselves c!dream apologists.

If it walks like a duck...

Killing a surrendered enemy is a war crime

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.

What if c!quackity finds out abt c!dreams’ sh. He decides that since he’s so good at hurting himself, he can give c!quackity a break. C!dream being instructed to inflict pain, being handed a weapon and only able to turn it against himself. One of his few forms of control taken by c!quackity. Self harm had been an unhealthy coping mechanism, but it was one of only a few coping mechanisms’ he’d had

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.

i will never forgive y’all for making ‘c!’ and ‘cc! ’ the tags
