#anyway the speedrunner comment was said because in a speedrun

Fractured timelines 'Legend', a knight in Hyrules army, couldn't decide on a red cape or blue cape (theres a certain someone who doesn't think the blue tunic is superior when it is-) so I have two for you guys to decide if you want to help lol

he is not technically Legend as most people know him, tho I did steal the Lu hair from dtbs from myself, he took the name after mysteriously gaining the memories of the past hero and finding a connection with him.

People who speedrun "bad" games are so powerful and good. And people just can't stop themselves from being rude assholes anyway because of the meme.

I watched someone's speedrun of Zelda's Adventure and some rando just came into the stream to comment how the game was "cursed" and nothing else. Like this person cares enough about the game to spend all that time getting good at it and all you have to say is "game bad lol."

And the speedrunner just said in response "no this game is my best friend" and it made me so sad. It was heartwarming but at the same time it really feels like they constantly have to defend themselves playing it. They're doing more for game preservation and appreciation than almost anyone else, especially since the game is notoriously rare.

OK, I don't consider myself a Stan and just enjoy his content but I'm tired to see Dream get dunked all the time on by people who don't all the infos or don't care and just want to hate someone. (sorry if that's misrepresentative but from what I've seen in the notes, that's what I get from you all)

From what I've seen all his last streams brought a lot of haters and people harassing him. Each time he does something, people are scrutinizing each of his action and finding something to insult him. That became even worse after his cheating (maybe accidental, maybe not but he recognized that). He doesn't stream the Dream smp to let more audience to the others members so they have more clout even during important lore stuff and with a lot of people begging to see his pov. When he streams speedruns, oh boi, he can be sure half of the internet is going to have something to say about that. Plus, if you're not in the fandom, it's logic that you don't know but all of them, including Dream, have so many projects and stuff to work on and merch stuff to organize. He also have to play minecraft a lot just to train and stay "one of the best players", search for new techniques to be sure the next manhunt will be as epic and fun to watch as the last. So maybe the lack of time due to work and the knowledge that hate and mean comments will come his way if stream kept him from streaming. He has adhd and that influence him a lot in his actions (how he reacted to the cheating allegations, how he reacts to every allegations really) and, by having adhd myself, I'm pretty sure that if in the end, in my head "streaming = getting hate and stress" I would not stream as much as I want too.

On the donations now, he said in a tweet :

“any money from subs, donations, bits, or otherwise from streaming this month will go to the Trevor project to help LGBTQIA+ youth :D"

“Just a small thing I think would be cool for us to do together, give me motivation to actually stream some too LMAO, happy Pride Month!”

3 things :

1 : from subs. I don't think we know the amount because Dream doesn't have like the number on screen (I think I don't really watch his streams, not that he streams a lot anymore :')) but i' m pretty sure that's a big number since you know... 3 mil of followers on Twitch if I'm not mistaken, 20 millions on YT, the dude have fans who like him and want to show support.

2: or otherwise. Some people theorized that that meant litteraly YT revenue and merch money. If that's true, that's a lot.

And also, important to note but the whole dream team gave 50 000$ from their own to the Trevor project. So I'm sure if you add everything up, that's a pretty good amount of money in the end.

3: the motivation to stream. This has no link to the money but for me, that lack of motivation to stream when he used to refer himself as a streamer and speedrunner shows that streaming is probably stressing him now because of the hate he receives (you know? Like the scientific thingy with the rat and the electric shocks? Sorry I'm losing track). And I'm sure you all know how people with adhd are bad with time and productivity. Sometimes we already have issue doing stuff we want to do so stuff that stress us??? When we can be productive an other way?? Yep, it would not surprise me if every day Dream was like "hmm, I finish that and then I stream" and then "oh, the day is over and it's not a good time to stream anymore, oh well, I have time". But it's all suppositions and not real facts so you take that like you want.

To conclude, a few last things: why the f*** do you spat on donations anyway??? Maybe that amount is not massive but I'm sure the Trevor project will be really happy anyway! And I know that feeling of "that's a small amount :\" because I know an event (the Z event) where they raised millions for charity so every amount ever since seems small BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT, the point is : money goes to charity. It's not a competition, it's something creators choose to do since it's not an obligation and Dream could probably have just sent a tweet like "Happy Pride everyone!! 🌈🌈🌈" and be done with it. But nop, he gave money and even tried to stream when he maybe didn't have the mental energy to do so.

Other thing : Dream is not a conservative or a republican. He had those views from what I understand but guess what : humans change. He's more progressive and tries to learn. And a lot of the (loud) fandom is queer and/or neuro divergent and Dream created a safe space for them. It makes me think of how people still talked shit on Technoblade for the last mcc when the dude helped raise more than 100 000 $ (I think it's way more but I forgot) for LGBTQIA+ charity and gave 26 000$ himself. People change and them? They changed for the better (even if I would argue that Techno is just bad with words because again : adhd, and that he never meant to be mean and cancel culture struck again where it wasn't meant to) (but the post is about Dream). He's nice to everyone in his chat (accepting to say "hi _____" or "_____ rights!!" each frickin time a dono ask) and always tries his best to make the best content.

It's getting long, thanks if you read everything. I'm not looking for drama, just tired to see another human getting shit for every action he does. Have a nice day!

Tldr; Dream is receiving a lot of hate, hate that probably kept him from streaming, he gave money to charity anyway and tried his best, shitting on the amount of money given to charity is dumb because every dollar counts.

that dream guy saying hell send donations toward lgbt groups for every stream he has during pride month and then not streaming until the last day and having donations turned off is funny like i’m sorrythats actually pretty funny
