You've really made me think about the Mending Rune of Perfect Order
Like, it states it 'perfects the golden order' but would it perfect the Gold, the Order or both?
it's probably an unpopular opinion but i... i have always found that one ending sus 🥲
i see Goldmask's point about how learnedness could be reduced to raving of fanatics, but i don't like the way the ending frames the God's fickleness as something "wrong" and bad and if we just fix that everything is solved.
because duh, of course the Gods are no better than men, the Fingers were literally entrapping normal humans into Godhood to begin with ???? why you create the problem then complain about it? it's not just the God that needs fixing, it's a whole system from the top to bottom.
and i think ascended Miquella, after divesting himself of all human emotions is, ironically, what Goldmask would consider a perfect God. no fickleness, no humanity left. but the thing is... you can't just be devoid of love, fear, doubt and claim to understand compassion. so that is in itself a flaw too. so what's "perfect" here?
"would it perfect the Gold, the Order or both?" that's the perfect (ha! ...) question for that ending. because on the outside, it sounds... perfect. a solution to every problem. but does it though? i honestly think what the DLC makes sure to hammer in is in the fact that everything that is portrayed as "perfect" on the surface, is just not it. i think that ending will just turn Marika into the God Miquella ended up as in the DLC.

Because I enjoy making myself sad apparently I've decided to headcanon that Dream's whole "making it rain when he's sad" thing started out as a self-soothing gesture.
Like when he was young (or, y'know, young for an Endless) he would get upset and unconsciously make it rain because he loves the rain. He would listen to it patter against the palace walls, or go outside and enjoy the cold, clean air and the water against his face, maybe splash in a puddle or two if no one was looking, and it would help him clear his head and center him and then he felt better.
But then, he overheard and/or maybe someone said to his face something like "oh thank GOD you're feeling better so the rain's finally gone, it was so dreary/depressing/inconvenient/annoying/etc" and Dream was like. Oh. I did something Wrong. I'm being a bad ruler. It doesn't matter if it makes me feel better it's more important to take care of my subjects and make sure they're happy.
So Dream tries his very very best to metaphorically sit on his hands when he's feeling bad but it's hard, it's not something he's fully in control of, and it actually gets worse because now instead of enjoying the rain and feeling better fairly quickly, he feels guilty and frustrated and ashamed which makes him feel even worse which makes it rain more and it turns into a vicious cycle.
I'm not sure if he tells Hob all this or if Hob just puts the pieces together himself, but I think he starts being very open to Dream about how much he loves the rain too (and he's not lying or anything, he really does love the rain, he's just a little louder about it when Dream is around). I think he also gives an impromptu lecture about the value of stimming and how people should respect it (under the guise of something with a student or something idk) and maybe Lucienne and Matthew get recruited to help too, and I haven't figured out how it ends but it ends with Dream learning to enjoy the rain again and wait shit oh goddammit now I have another wip fuck me

I think we’ve found our daisy 2.0…🦋
Someone was asking about Kaylor proof earlier and I genuinely think this should be all that’s needed. That literally spans from 2014 til now, what more do you need…?
Why do we root for them? Because that’s the shit that novels are written about. Us queer kids, we didn’t see ourselves in any of the stories when we were little, we didn’t get the fairytales and Disney princesses. But this right here? That’s our real life fairytale. So before you come for us, maybe consider if instead of throwing abuse, you want to open your eyes to a really great love story.

Do you guys think Dream’s eyes glow in dark like a cat’s eyes do. Like one day Hob has to get a glass of water at 3am so he goes to kitchen and there’s a pair of glowing eyes staring back at him. He’s like “a cat??” and then the dark figure starts growing taller and my dude starts screaming.

for some ccs i’d just like for them to get to the point of being amicable. during some of puffy’s latest streams she talked about how hard it’s been that everyone has beef with each other and no one wants to be on a server with the other. and i don’t think she just meant dteam vs everyone else but others too
nodders. honestly most people in this space aren't bad people lmao being a cc is rough as hell and there are the jealous fuckers who can't shut up about people wholly unconnected to them for clout and then there's the much more standard cc drifting apart and controversy complications and content lags and whatever. dream has also just ... not really been around in the space for a long ass time now--i'm sure we're going to see more positive interactions once content picks up
