im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

Ohh okay it's just a theory. Thank god. The thought of "him dying prompted the continent to lift" straight up didn't even occur to me. I 100% assumed the implication was that it started happening as soon as the dungeon was destroyed, it just took a few days to reach the surface (and a few days more after that to fully re-emerge, as is stated in canon)

I have a lot of posts about how I liked the finale and it was not OOC, but that’s on a stance of consistency, not storytelling and meta narrative. The finale is consistent with their characters (except Punz but that’s a whole other rant). I think the ending was far from well written (because the dialogue was fucking improv on a time limit). It’s definitely not handled well on the meta, but I think it Makes Sense. I don’t defend the finale because I think it was great. I defend it because I see a lot of poorly interpreted takes or just straight up neg.

I think I’ve accidentally come off as a c!Dream apologist or a c!Tommy anti at first glance even though I’m quite literally the opposite of both if anyone actually reads my long form rants (because they are rants under the thin veil of analyses; I am just throwing words at a keyboard without any central idea). If given a gun, I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot c!Dream between the eyes, and I’m literally a cc!TommyInnit main. He is literally the only steamer/youtuber I watch regularly (anymore) despite being the kind of person who prefers to flitter through content topics rather than dedicate to a specific channel or streamer.

Criticism where criticism is due, and I love reading crit and neg and I agree with so much of it, but I’m not the kind of person to reiterate what other people are already saying. You can criticize the execution of the finale all you want and I Agree With You. It’s terribly executed! But I’m going to ignore the terrible execution and the unintentional framing because it’s been beat to death by now, so let me shove what I liked about it down everyone’s throat.

I don’t intake the DSMP from the perspective of someone expecting a professionally written story. I’m watching it knowing that this is an improv told by amateur storytellers, one of whom is literally a comedian and the other who has the self awareness of a very small dog.

I don’t expect a perfect execution, but I know it’s well meaning. I think people are so desperate to hate sometimes that they forget that the whole existence of the DSMP is out of a place of love and passion for the story they’re telling. It wouldn’t have gone on this long if it weren’t for a genuine love for what they do, and we have seen first hand how other projects die on so so many occasions.

I think the DSMP (especially Tommy and Dream’s finale) deserves to at least receive some praise for what the content creators intended rather just neg upon neg, a lot of which are by people who didn’t even watch the finale. There’s a whole section of the community who loved the ending when it was first streamed, but I didn’t see anyone else actually talking about why it was good other than “Staged Duo My Beloved” and “Tommy is a good person!” like YOURE ALSO MISSING THE POINT. THIS IS THE SAME BULLSHIT STEVEN UNIVERSE FANS PULLED.

Tommy was a flawed individual who was facing his abuser and his trauma right as he was at death’s door but Tommy Didn’t Forgive Dream For The Shit He Did. You don’t fucking forgive abusive power hungry narcissists for literally killing and torturing you. But y’all are so eager to go straight to Murder just because it’s an actual option, but in the DSMP, murder is still framed as a Very Bad Thing to do rather than just some unfavorable activity that people take part in. It’s just that there’s no consequence for commuting the Very Bad Thing other than the degradation of your morals (WHICH AGAIN EVERYONE IS MORALLY GREY AND I COULD GO ON A WHOLE RANT ABOUT TOMMY AND THE THEMATIC IMPORTANCE OF HIM NOT KILLING PEOPLE)

But the prison literally failed! So what do you do if both prison AND murder are off the table?? You move on. That’s what you fucking do. You pick the perpetrator up by the scruff of his neck, strip him of everything that gives him any power, give him a licensed therapist or seven, then put him behind a white picket fence in fucking Wyoming literally miles away from the nearest person, and you at least try to live your life.

Tommy literally couldn’t move on because he was haunted by the very Concept of Dream. Even if he picked up his bags and moved to the other side of the universe, he’d be haunted by the fear that Dream would find him somehow because that’s how paranoia works. Instead, Tommy chose to understand the cause of his Fear so that he could get some control over it, so that he could close his eyes for once and get some fucking sleep. Although this entire time he knew it was a futile effort because they’d be dying anyway, but for once in his goddamn life, he deserved to at least feel some relief from the heavy burden that was his self (although this was mostly everyone) perceived Crime Of Existing.

GIVE THE GUY A FUCKING BREAK.

ITS NOT FUCKING VICTIM BLAMING AND NO ONE IS FORGIVING DREAM EXCEPT THE BATSHIT CRAZY DREAM APOLOGISTS. NOT EVEN CC DREAM IS FORGIVING CDREAM BECAUSE CDREAM IS A PIECE OF SHIT THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANY AUTHORITY OR NEAR CHILDREN.

"'PEN' IS IN UPROAR AS SAM BEHAN DIES," Toronto Star. May 26, 1934. Page 1 & 2. ---- LIFE PRISONER DIED SUDDENLY COUNSEL ADVISED ---- Refuse Statement on Lifer's Death or on Disturbances Audible Outside ---- HAMMER ON BARS --- Convicts Keep Up Clangor Till After Midnight, Residents Near Prison Say ---- Kingston, May 26. Sam Behan, a life term convict, dropped dead in Kingston penitentiary from a heart attack to-day. For some time, there were rumors outside the walls that Tim Buck, former leader of the Communist party in Canada, was dead. Officials refused to comment.

Chief Coroner Dr. Samuel Keyes has called an inquest for 4 p.m. within the penitentiary.

Behan was among those tried following the serious prison outbreak of October, 1932, and he defended himself stoutly during the trials last year.

Pending the inquest officials of the prison declined to make any statement whatever on the circumstances of Behan's death.

It is known that for the past few days convicts have been putting up a terrific din by hammering on the bars of their cells and yelling. Thursday night several residents of Portsmouth stated that noise from the prison was terrific, and it was learned that certain officials of the penitentiary were called prison after midnight. to the

To-day when newspapermen endeavored to reach Warden W. B. Megloughlin, the warden refused to talk.

Sam Behan Dies Suddenly Sam Behan, whose name was connected prominently with the disturbances in Kingston penitentiary, died very suddenly there this morning.

His counsel, Frank Regan, who has been busy during the past few weeks in efforts to obtain a new trial for him, received the following telegram, sent from Kingston at 8.20 a.m.:

"Regret to have to advise Sam Behan died very suddenly here this morning. His wife has been advised. Instructions regarding disposition of remains awaited from here. -Warden, Kingston Penitentiary.

Behan was serving a term of life plus seven years given him by Mr. Justice Wilson in Montreal on bank robbery charges.

"His conviction rested largely on an identification by a woman who identified him through a window sixty feet away by a scar on his face," said Mr. Regan to-day.

"I believe I would have obtained a new trial for Behan," he continued, "and that he would have been exonerated. He always spoke in the highest terms of General Ormond, superintendent of prisons, and Col. W. B. Megloughlin, warden, as far as their action in facilitating the work to get a new trial was concerned, and he also spoke well of the benefits given to the prisoners under Warden Megloughlin's regime. I have found both of them most considerate and helpful also.

Got Letter To-day "Only this morning I received letter from Behan that was written to me on May 23 and has just arrived. Here it is."

Behan in the letter states regarding a conversation with Mr. Regan:

"My mind was in such a chaotic state that I did not for some hours fully comprehend all you tried to convey. "If a reduction of sentence be granted, that reduction must be very substantial, otherwise I gain nothing by a reduction. A new trial with change of venue either to Ottawa or Toronto would meet with my approval. "If you could only publish the evidence of my former trial, word for word, it would be a wonderful thing for public opinion. "I was given a letter to my wife on Saturday. I have written asked her to visit me if she can get and away. "I would like to cast a few votes for the C.C.F."

Referring to Miss Agnes Macphail, who interested herself in his case, Behan says:

"I wonder if our Agnes could see me?

"Have you written to my wife yet? If not, please do, giving her some words of cheer," he continues.

"Please write me from time to time," he concludes, and kindest regards to Agnes and also our friends of the party.

"Your sincere friend.

(Sgd.) "SAM BEHAN."

"I was reading the letter when the wire came," stated Mr. Regan. "It told me our efforts were in vain; Behan was dead."

Part two to this and part three is here,

What a pleasant conversation Sonic is having with himself.

[stealthetrees]

Everyone lives au where after the war Commander Fox gets arrested for killing Chancellor Palpatine, who never did anything wrong in his life, ever. Fox pleads guilty and requests execution.

Unfortunately for him, the entire Coruscant Guard has been planing for this (along with other possible scenarios) for years. They’ve put together a legal team of clones who got online degrees in law, whose main defense is that government property can’t be convicted of murder. The Republic’s reps claim that Fox is a person and therefore absolutely can do murder, so they whip out a dictionary and read the definition for slavery.

The trial gets derailed by all the accusations leveled at the government, which are all true. Mountains of evidence are brought in, literly. Several large filing cabinets are dragged into the room filled to the brim with tax statements, photos, documents, contracts ect exposing not only the deep corruption through the entire senate, but also provides enough information to jail at least half the senate.

It’s broadcast on live tv and is the most watched event in history.

Fox keeps trying to get the death sentence. He has no intention of actually dying tho (he plans to fake it and retire to run a crew of con artists and steal from the ultra wealthy.) Fox confesses to murdering multiple people, but each time evidence places him far away from the scene of the crime, usually because Fox himself planted that evidence and now his extreme competence is biting him in the ass.

The fact that Palpatine was a Sith Lord, was planing on taking over the republic, working with the separatists, and that he started the war are not brought up at all. All crimes brought up are things like grooming children or embezzlement.

I know this page now is filled with Mafia König, and Monster König, and Slasher König, but it was revealed to me in a dream- Executioner König. Apparently, (though I don't have a source) given that the profession often met with isolation, which obviously made it hard to find a bride. Some executioners if they weren't married already, could pardon a woman prisoner if she agreed to marry him. Now enter, all in white, Reader that has commited an unspecified crime. It's still enough to be on death row for it. But Konig, seeing her, just can't let such a pretty thing die. He's lonely, and not getting any younger....

Cut to Reader confused later in life how her life from stealing or conning went to cooking potatoes and warming his bed at night while he's busy ripping someone's intestines out.

(plus fucking Reader in a pillory as a treat)

You prayed every night. They gave you a week before the execution - threw you in a cold basement, dampened your feet in water, and waited until you begged for the sentence to come faster. They couldn't - the royal executioner was out on the road from another city, and they couldn't have a royal maid to be killed by some commoner. You thought you'd have time to let them know how you didn't do what you did - how you were innocent all along if only crime for protecting yourself. No one listened, of course. The royal executioner has cold hands, and you can almost feel them preparing for the torture. This is what he is going to do, you think - put you in a pillory, slowly rip you from inside out. A fitting punishment is to dump your common blood so everyone can see just how much of a filth you are. Konig knows he has a right to you - a royal maid, probably framed. Maybe you are guilty- but he looked at your wide eyes and tear-stained face, and he didn't really care. You have soft legs and nice hips, a body that even prisoner's rags couldn't hide. You'd give him nice, fat babies - about a litter of them, poor bastard living with their father's profession. Daughters never get married, and sons get themselves wives in a similar fashion. Konig draps a hand over your thighs, under the rags - you're filthy, but he never minded. Can clean you up after, make you a wife. Honest woman, getting clean with his cock lodged deep in your cunt. He always liked girls from the royal district - clean, fresh, looking small like dolls on their fast legs. Like deers in the forest, except that he can now get himself one. Like catching a forest nymph. You don't even whimper as he drags a hand over your pussy, fingering you slowly - learned his way with brothel girls, always too nervous to actually do something, but also too horny not to. No one would be with an executioner willingly, so he would fuck you until heaven and the crown would forgive you and then would put a nice ring on your finger. Drag you to his house and made you his made - and his princess, too. Would buy you a dozen little goose feather pillows and a soft blanket from a foreign merchant so your body would forget the cold and the depth of the dungeon. He knows you'd be a good housewife because you managed to work in a castle - he doesn't care if it was the lower quarters if you only worked with other servants. He calls you a princess in bed and gets expensive cuts of lamb to cook. You burn your first one, roasting it too much, not knowing how to deal with meat if it's not made from scraps - and he ate it anyway, nuzzling his face into your breasts later as if asking for seconds. Puts a baby in you two months after the wedding. Haggles with merchants for soothing herbs and tortures 5 people per day for a bigger cut of what was in their pockets. Gets you a really nice bracelet out of some poor merchanting bastard, and you wore it like a shackle, your hands still trembling lightly when embracing him. The smell of your hair makes him forget about blood, and he clings to your body like a dog whenever he is home. Konig couldn't be happier.
