the potential c!sapnap has for lore

a majority of the dream smp fandom do want c!sapnap to have some sort of lore or have the potential of creating a foundation to set up for his character, yeah? well, he holds a much larger bucket of what i personally believe is a grand tie to a good handful of the main plot points occurring right now in this timeline. so in this post, i’ll mostly cover what could happen concerning c!sapnap and what his role in everything could mean for the future of the dream smp!

all of this is /dsmp and /rp!

the fiancés

if you haven’t caught up with the lore right now, please know this is NOT spoiler free! 

as of right now according to the dream team wiki, c!sapnap has BOTH positive relationships with c!quackity and c!karl. however, after learning from c!quackity’s pov and his lore streams, he as resentment against both karl and sapnap for leaving him behind during the beginnings of kinoko kingdom. right now, we do not know the official reason as to why karl and sapnap excluded their fiancé from the build of their country (note: i might make a theory on this), although it is presented that quackity doesn’t like the mention of them. 

c!karl is going through his time travel situation with the other side being yet explored, along with the situation of his memory becoming worse through the duration of his travelling. c!quackity is going through his las nevadas arc, creating a casino in order to use the sin of gambling addiction to his advantage. with two of his fiancés going through tremendous (character developing) plotlines that are fated to cross paths, it is no question that c!sapnap will be caught in the crossfire of it. perhaps he’ll be forced to side with one or the other? face his true self which ends up fighting against the two? or will it all come down to something far worse?

tommy

it’s difficult to say if c!sapnap has the same respect or positive attitude towards c!tommy as time has changed, nevertheless their relationship is quite interesting. after the confrontation with mars and the teaming up on doomsday and THEN the disc confrontation (c!sapnap being among the many that stood up to protect c!tommy and c!tubbo), their relationship outcome has been positive. we all are very aware that c!tommy is the “main” character right now (i say main because i know a majority of people follow his pov). as wilbur is coming into play after being revived, c!dream still locked away in prison, and c!tommy having to pick a side, c!sapnap would in some regard have to consult c!tommy in one way or the other about the situation concerning c!dream.

ranboo

there isn’t much to base off of their relationship besides a couple of key points, but i still think it’s worth noting because of how much c!ranboo is playing a role as an important character. now, when sapnap visited c!dream in prison, dream gave sapnap a note with a smiley face on it, which was meant for ranboo. this triggered the enderwalk state, causing ranboo to flee quickly, only making c!sapnap confused. later, c!ranboo (still in his enderwalk) gave a message to sapnap in enderman, which only confused him more. 

i think this could really open a new door for sapnap to walk into which could further explore the relationship between c!ranboo and c!dream. we all know that sapnap is very close to dream, as he told him in pandora’s vault, 

“Dream if you try and break out early- you, you know that you only have one life left. Okay? And- you know, I don't think its gonna be Tommy, its not gonna be Techno, Dream. If you break out of this prison, its gonna be, its gonna be- me who takes your final life... and that's not because I have any resentment towards you or anything, it's because this is where you need to be, dude. You HAVE to stay here, okay?”

there is a lot to explore here with just c!ranboo, but as connected as he is to others (tommy, tubbo, philza), it could bring c!sapnap more ingrained within the lore.

canonically, c!bbh is sapnap’s father. they both fought alongside each other during the battle of the lake, which strengthen their bond. however, it is unclear whether or not c!sapnap is aware with c!bbh’s corruption and connection toward the egg, which i could only assume will be showed throughout its course soon enough. c!sapnap doesn’t like the egg -- he’s made that very clear about wanting to kill said egg -- and bbh has protested this. 

with their relationship status being father and son, there is so much to build off of! i also really would like to see how c!sapnap would react to his own dad being corrupted by the red vines alongside punz, antfrost and ponk(?) who he seemingly has good relationships with.

dream

i don’t want to dedicate an entire paragraph to this of course since i know everyone is already familiar with their relationship, but i feel like there is so much that could truly be done to show their strong bond. i have a feeling we’ll be getting something from this as well which only makes me curious to see what’ll happen next!

there is a lot i could also cover, such as george, but i want to save that for an entire different post. i really do hope something will happen with how amazing c!sapnap’s character is, because there is so much potential there! he feels more as an anti-hero which could really be interesting to different storylines such as las nevadas, the prison arc, c!wilbur’s revival and of course, c!karl’s time traveling adventures.
