Question for u— what do u think of fanon and canon dream? Do u think they’re two completely different characters as well as one or the other is mischaracterized more? I read ur opinion on ink and I agree and as a dream sans stan I gotta know

this is one of those instances where i........don't exactly enjoy both? LOL

a lot of dreamtale chapter 1 is good! the concept is fantastic but that's the most of what i enjoy about canon dreamtale and dream. like that's it

fanon dream, on the other hand, have a lot of problems that's similar to fanon papyrus and fanon blue (swap sans) so i don't exactly mind it but i don't enjoy it either

i've always been annoying (apologies to everyone who had to deal with my dreamtale "takes" at age 16. i know some of yall DETEST me because of my terrible "takes" then) about writing my own interpretation of dream and dreamtale LOL

but here's the kicker.

i don't think they're two different characters at all. i think canon dream is the same as fanon dream because i think canon dream was influenced by fanon and totally tainted him forever

if you think papyrus or blue is infantilized, god you are lucky because at least they're not canonly infantilized.

i have gripes with both canon and fanon but they share many traits and the infantilization is definitely one of them.

i think that's why i constantly just. analyze dream as tired and jaded and a bit of an asshole who wants to be the good he should be (along with a walking anxious white knight machine) because in canon he IS a hero but also for some reason the damsel in distress and also a itty bitty wittol baby???? there's a lot going on.

THOUGH. HERE'S ANOTHER KICKER.

i think fanon has two dream categories. crazy, i know.

one category is feminizing him (in very much an insulting and degrading way) and the second category is just making him the biggest asshole on earth just to make nightmare look better and more justified in his anger and hatred.

I HAVE A LOT OF OPINIONS ABOUT THE SECOND CATEGORY. OHHH BOY DO I HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT THAT AND THE FLAT CHARACTER WRITING THAT COMES WITH IT.

that's all i have about this right now i think
