#but who knows.

i know its 2 am and no i havent seen dreams recent video but i wanted to talk a little about this screenshot and how telling it is, bc its been on my mind all day

note that i have not seen the stream this was from but i think this on its own tells enough of a story. dream showed this as part of his stream defending himself and airing out how he thinks tommy has wronged him (among other things).

I do think 16yos and 21yos can have positive and healthy friendships. but this is blatantly.. not that. this is not a healthy way for an adult to be speaking to a teenager. even if the adult is hurt by something the teenager did. heck, this is barely a healthy way for two people of the same age to speak to each other. this is guilt tripping, passive aggression, self victimization, just generally self centered and manipulative language.

and the fact that dream thinks showing this is in is favor is extremely telling! because he doesn't realize what this is. dream thinks this is a positive example of him being open about his feelings with tommy.

dream showing this means he has no concept of the dynamics at play here. he was a massive content creator with a following 10x the size of tommys. (idk when exactly this was but tommy hit 1 mil in sept 2020, when dream had 10 mil). he was a grown adult and tommy was a teenager. more than that, tommy adored him and looked up to him almost to a hero-worship level. any sort of friendship that grows in a dynamic like that must be predicated on the adult being aware of the power imbalance and self-conscious and mature enough to not take advantage of it. dream failed miserably at all of that.

toxic people don't usually realize they're toxic. dream showing this screenshot shows either that a) he thinks his own audience are dumb enough to see this as a point in his defense (which, well-) or b) he is so monumentally moronic to still have no inkling of how much power he held/holds in a social dynamic, esp over someone like tommy at that time. he thinks treating tommy as an emotional peer, someone he can dump his feelings on, someone he depends on for self worth and validation, is a good thing, when actually they're all massive red flags.

that's why he thinks this is a screenshot in his favor. that's why he thinks he's in the right and tommy has stabbed him in the back. dream is viewing this entire situation through a lens so incompatible with what actually happened that it's impossible for him to understand why people are mad at him. maybe he has some idea that he behaved badly, but he is so mired in his own inflated ego, denial, and manipulation that he will never ever come to terms with it.

at least, that's what he pretends.

just realized there are very few character designs in dgs with Purple in their designs and everyone who does only has a little bit (or is canonically rich) because purple was a hard dye color to find in the late 1890s. going insane. nuri was this intentional answer m

I guess you need to write a threesome scene between brynjolf soap and your self

(Happy I spelled brynjolf right the first time)

this was the first thing i saw when i woke up this morning and the mental image it conjured rewired something in my brain i think. feeling like you made me a new, slightly hornier person

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
