#dream apologists

[kamiko1234]

I'm just gonna say it :

The Dottore apologist discourse from the Genshin fandom is just the C!Dream apologist discourse the dsmp fandom had and still has.

And see now I feel like someone needs to make the ultimate Dream apologist video where it’s like a mix of him building his ‘Evil Lair’ and saying “woof” and being all sad in prison in between very serious lore moments like Doomsday and Disc Confrontation. You know what I mean? Like mix it up so it’s the wholesome clip of him building Tubbo’s house then his “I wanna see white flags!”. Like it’d be so funny and I feel like there’s no way you take him seriously after that ya know. It could be the best conversion video ever because Dream’s just picking a rose one minute then next oh it’s him in the cell getting attacked by Tommy and Tubbo with his plants in the background. Or him making Tommy drop his items in a hole then the scene of Dream doing the same and getting killed followed by the clip of Quackity throwing all the torture axes on the ground. One minute it could be Sapnap and Dream building the community house then the next it’s Sapnap trying to kill him or threatening to in prison….. Oh it could be sooo good like the coolest and also more unhinged complication…

**update: because I keep seeing reblogs of y'all wanting someone to make this - I wanted to let you know, after some thought and tests I figured out how to do it and have actually taken up the task 🫡 so feel free to check the tag #ultimate c!dream apologist video for some sneak peaks and stuff :)**

[spacexxcoward]

this is how i imagine c!dream apologists look at c!dream

-

C!Dream: dont like that this kid causes chaos

Any other SMP member: oh yeah thats fair actuslly maybe just sit down and talk to him-

C!Dream: actually i was gonna start a war against his country, kill him twice, help his brother blow up said country again, practically kidnap him and emotionally mentally and physically abuse him for months, try to kill his best friend, kill him again, bring him back to life, bring his brother back when he didnt want me to just cause i think he will help me get out, break out of prison and hunt him down try to kill him again, make him think he’s going insane, take his most prized possesions from him, stalk him, and probably kill him again. and probably more.

Any other SMP member: …what the fuck?

c!Dream: wait why r u calling the cops im just a guy :( it’s the kids fault for causing chaos i just wanted friends :(

Separatist-apologist lore beneath the cut

I dropped out of college when I was 19 and when I decided to go back, I had two kids. I was undeclared and I felt old despite still being in my 20s. I had a scholarship which required me to do daytime classes with all of the brand new 18 year olds and I felt wildly out of place. Before that, I'd been staying at home raising my kids while their dad worked and a lot of people thought wanting to return to the workforce was a mistake, so there was this immense pressure to succeed where I'd once failed.

The problem was not knowing what I wanted to do. All I really cared about was history and domestic violence and as far as I knew, there was no good career path that combined those things, and so I signed up for four random classes that had nothing to do with each other. One of them was called Serial Killers in America which was taught by a former police officer. Another was introduction to psychology, taught by a social worker.

I was sitting in the Serial Killer class one morning, way in the back where no one paid me any attention, when the professor (former cop, remember) began telling a story about being called to a house for domestic violence and I remember looking up at her as she said that too often, these things are a "he said, she said," and they're usually both lying.

And it just ignited something angry in my stomach. I was looking for an advisor since I'd been undeclared and I turned that day to the psych professor and asked if she'd fill out my form to be my advisor. As she was, I told her what the other professor said and how much it bothered me and she asked me what I wanted to do. So I told her, and she asked if I'd ever considered social work.

So began six years of perfectionism and the single-minded goal of getting my masters degree and working in the field as a licensed social worker. I remember my first day in orientation at grad school, someone asked if anyone knew where they wanted to be in 5 years. I was the only person who raised their hand. I knew where I wanted to be.

And for the last three years, I got to live that dream. The good, the bad, the horrible- all of it was mine. And today I pack up this office I've worked in for the last three years because its all over. The work was always good and I'm proud of what I've done. I've published papers, I've sat in state-wide commissions, I've talked to legislators, I've presented at conferences and I've trained a new generation of advocates who feel the same passion I do.

It's no secret that people who work in this field are typically survivors themselves. Something about surviving it turns people into advocates, whether they meant to be or not. And often they manage to make it out of the metaphorical burning building, turn around, and decide they need to go back inside to try and get others. The amount of people I've talked to who say, "I want other people to know they're not alone and they can get through this," is numerous. It makes you optimistic, it makes it impossible to ignore the good in humanity even when you're faced with some of the worst people/circumstances you'll ever encounter.

And despite all the petty office politics, a system designed (sometimes purposefully) to make leaving difficult, and state legislators who push back every inch of progress we ever made, I will miss it. The work was always good. I'm proud of the things I did individually for folks, of the amount of times I got to tell someone they did nothing wrong, that they deserved safety and respect.

These three years have been the best and worst of my life, but the work was always good. I will always be in it, will always be standing beside the ghost of my childhood self, offering her a hand and a voice and I think if I accomplished nothing else, at least I did that.
