#autistic c!dream

[bleue-flora]

Oh no I just realized… Dream being autistic means the bell Techno was ringing had to be like torture for him. Like talk about overstimulated. I think I’d kill Techno at some point to be honest if he was too annoying with it, because I cannot handle noise very well… but also just even the noise of the lava and guardians had to get annoying, though I suppose at some point you kinda get used to it. At first though, it probably made him miserable. And oh, the texture of the obsidian, and his jumpsuit, and a blood soaked jumpsuit, and his long hair and then dirty long hair would be awful. And then there’s the obnoxious lava light always shining with no reprieve (damn with a concussion it’d be even worse, yikes)… just wow Pandora is such a nightmare for people but for autistic people and our heightened senses it really would be hell in of itself… at that point, who wouldn’t jump in the lava to erase, even if just for a second, the feelings of all the textures around him. A few warm seconds of silent dark bliss before he respawns.

[autistic c!dream essay for anyone wanting to read]

Truuuuuue… I mean I wasn’t gonna say it but, yeah… and see I clocked it years ago, let’s go! Autistic c!Dream is canon whoop whoop! And oh I love the symbolism of the mask involved in that. :)

autistic c!wilbur tidbits

-His face was always blank unreadable, so during lmanburg he started to force facial expressions and he kept it up until he was revived, he tries to but he finds it way more exhausting than it used to be so he doesn’t try as hard

-Dino arms especially after revival, unless he’s trying to be presentable his arms are always in that position

-Hates velvet, touched technos cape once and physically recoiled (me fr)

-visual stims are his go to for subtly. He still has a liquid timer from when fundy was a kid (like the ones you use to time teeth brushing for kids, could also be one of those sand timers)

-Unreadable ass tone especially after revival. He can’t seem to fix it like he did back in lmanburg

-Masking is 10x more exhausting. He can barley keep up with it and he has meltdowns/shutdowns way more often

-Way more appreciative of animals since he feels he can relate to them. Specifically foxes, birds and wolves

-Self regulates with song writing, guitar playing, art (most mediums), crocheting, knitting, reading and writing. It’s what keeps him going sometimes

-Listens to music really loudly but hates most loud noises

-Hates going into las nevadas when it’s super busy. Always tries to avoid the noises and crowds so he always visiting c!q at odd times

that’s it shoutout to autistic c!wilbur

its almost 2am and i suddenly started grieving how underdeveloped cfundys phropecy gift was

[anxiouslyextroverted]

do you have any dsmp neurodivergent headcanons? I have many

YES! thank you for asking!! :D

these are how i personally view the characters + whats canonically stated and I was debating to myself for an hour whether c!Tommy should go in alexithymia or not

[daily-ish-syndicate-headcanons]

Techno has the nastiest resting bitch face you will ever see. He constantly looks like he's furious at something.

Guys I am NOT autistic. Why do I keep seeing people say I am??

idk if it’s just me but it’s really interesting to watch how the fandom’s feelings about c!dapduo have changed over time. back in 2021 you’d be crucified for even thinking about them romantically because they ‘had a father and son relationship’.

cheers to this fandom being less violently ableist, let’s keep it that way.

DAPDUO SWEEP!!! CONGRATS TO DAPDUO!!!

it's a sweep across the board and against all odds, autism wins. go team!

So how’s the hc of c!dream being autistic feeling in light of recent news?

Pretty much confirmed canon now, because I think we can probably all agree that it’s not like the creators are professional actors so in many ways their personality bled into the characters so if cc!Dream is confirmed to be autistic, that pretty much means c!Dream is as well. Like no offense but I don’t think cc!Dream is that good of an actor to play a neurotypical character lol. I can barely try and write one XD. And of course the things talked about in my essays still stand as further support of that.

So… yeah, feels good. Especially because now I have a really good reason to give to people about why I’m obsessed with my green boy, cuz it’s not like there are that many autistic characters to be obsessed with and project onto. It’s also cool because the narrative and symbolism pieces I talked about in [part 3] of my autism essay now are confirmed to be applicable which is really cool. Like I mean the symbolism of the mask for one is just 👌… don’t even get me started on Pandora’s Vault being a great metaphor for people boxing up their autism for years (*cough* me *cough*).

Also this does open the box of actually considering what else this makes pretty canonical. For example, a common autistic thing is to not like eye contact (I personally hate it) and as mentioned in my essay, a reason for the mask could be so Dream can avoid having to make eye contact and making proper facial expressions to go with the situation.

Which means a few interesting things for fanfiction 1) I’ve often seen a theme of Dream having a mask because he’s so expressive and therefore is hiding his true intention with the mask and when he has it off he’s really easy to read. This however is likely not the case. In fact, Dream without the mask would mostly likely be just as hard to read because he would not be emoting properly, he might even by emoting inappropriately for the situation. He also could by extension not be one for extra eye contact. Course in my fics there is plenty of eye contact, but you’ll notice that I make a point to highlight it, because it’s not his natural or most comfortable thing to do….

Anyways, I���m pretty stoked honestly and I’m kinda curious if people will implement more autistic characteristics when writing Dream now. I hope they will at least keep it in mind, because I think that’d be really cool. And hey, to anyone not autistic or in general I suppose, feel free to reach out if you need some help or have questions about writing autistic Dream. :)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, this aged well huh. Lol I agree in fact, there are many parallels even to like him being forced to hide inside with curtains drawn and such trying to hide his face while his character was in Pandora’s Vault… the interesting thing is in the recent stream he mentioned that he thinks some fans hate him because he played the villain and the thing is, while that isn’t necessarily true, I think the reasons why he became the villain on the dsmp are reasons why he is becoming one irl now. Propaganda, lies, slander, insults… etc turning everyone against him and not to say he’s perfect, in the same way his character certainly isn’t but he’s also not much worse than many others and the things he has done hardly make him the devil (I mean c!Tommy calls him a devil before he even knows about the experiments). Projection it seems extends to Dream as well as us fans lol, but yea it is so deeply sad…

Name: Dream Wastaken

Age: 18 at the start of the server, 34 at the end

Height: 6'3

Origin: [Redacted]

Description:

At the start of it all, Dream was new to the admin powers he had been granted. Young, Naive, And wide eyed about the worlds he would soon come to despise. He started these worlds as a test, to see what he was capable of. And invited his friends to come along for the ride. Then... Tommy. The Loud, brash, innocent child he was. At first Dream tried with him. Tried to be kind, as the then 10 year old was freshly out of his home world, his older brother Wilbur having reached out to him to ask to be housed. But the child was so... loud An overwhelming noise that drove Dream further and furhter into rage, into blinding anger and hatered. Dream blamed every issue within the server on Tommy, why?

Because Tommy, unknowingly, disabled him. He was born without a normal humans sight, only seeing darkness and, what best can be described, as the glowing affect around players. His hearing, as sensitive as it was, was a massive assist to him, as it would with echo-location. Tommy damaged his sensors, bad, and its left him now both blind, and hard of hearing. He harbors massive amounts of anger towards the child.

Dream grew up, from his naive self. Kindness does not win wars. Kindness does not get others to listen. Brutality, ruthlessness does. Everyone wanted to paint the man making the rules the villain, and so thats what be became. Obcessed with making Tommy pay for his newfound disability, obsessed with gaining back the control he lost the second Innit stepped foot onto his server.

Revivebur age regression board 🧸🦇🐏

remake of my first revivebur age regression board since I felt like it and I like it alot better! I view rev as very sensory avoidant especially during his regression so he prefers softer colors + this is close to what his actual aesthetic would probably be
