Does c!Punz feel guilty about what happened to c!Dream in prison? Do they feel at fault for it, on some level? That they didn't try to come up with a different plan? Or at least stop Dream from going through with this one?

Obviously neither of them could've predicted or prepared for everything that happened, but it never would've occurred if Punz didn't feed Dream's self-destructive tendencies. Would seeing Dream in such a sorry state after prison change their mind on 'the ends justify the means'? Or, since Dream hides how much the prison really affected him, would they downplay it in their own mind as well?

He's definitely angry about it, shown by how he takes getting revenge for it into his own hands. But, is it anger on Dream's behalf or because they blame himself and need to take it out on someone/something? A mixture of both, perhaps?

Punz is such an interesting character to analyze because, much like Dream, we see so little of his perspective. His only known motivations are money and Dream, but those are vague and we all (hopefully) know people are more complicated than that.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

#dreblr #drunz #c!Punz #staged duo #it's a question I've had for a while that I can't quite put my finger on #usually I lean towards they feel guilty in my fics but honestly would they?#they're a logic driven character like dream but they're also clearly motivated by some emotions (mostly anger)#ig it's a question of is there anything that could happen that would break Punz from his codependency?#would seeing Dream battered and broken be enough? or could they still justify it bc Dream (poorly) acts unbothered?#the answer is prolly a mix of both/up to interpretation like much of the rest of his character but I wanted to see what others thought #c!Punz has just been so interesting to me recently
