for me was always weird bc csapnap was on csbi's side? like yes for a time was with cdream but he helped ctommy to get the disks back and after cgeorge was no longer a king both he and cgnf were on their side agaist cdream and manberg like even if they take a step back for el rapis and on moment when he was ctommy's enemy was in the tower battle where he fought with ctechno and cdream on his side so ???? if it was cdream vs csbi i get it more but csapnap and cgeorge weren't csbi enemies or at least for very short time they were
neither were c!sbi even on c!sbi's side lmao like c!sbi as a unit doesn't exactly exist in the lore. c!sapnap's alliances with c!dream and c!tommy both were often tenuous and self-interested loooong before stuff with the spirit speech and exile--and c!sapnap and c!george worked with quackity and karl for the mexican lmanburg debates, but were largely uninvolved with NLM (save for c!sapnap fighting in doomsday). like, the dsmp has scarcely ever worked in terms of "two defined sides with no overlap" (like, the closest you're gonna get is probably the revolution and ONLY the revolution, conflicts were hardly that simple before the revolution either) and c!sapnap in particular has always been on the chaotic side while c!george was more known for a relative degree of disinterest (see: his not being involved in either nov 16th or doomsday). and in terms of c!sbi, i mean, a lot of what c!wilbur does throughout the story kinda goes pretty damn directly against c!techno's ideals (hence why techno was rather explicitly kept in the dark for a lot of pogtopia) and c!tommy and c!techno obviously had their split as well. c!george dislikes c!tommy while c!sapnap on the whole is friendly with him (but it's c!sapnap so of course he's gonna do shit like harass shroud lmao, mans was known as the pet killer for a Reason and the pet wars had a lot of sapnap and tommy being on opposing sides bc of each other), c!george has his "your technoblade" jealousy moment and iirc c!sapnap was nawt fond of c!techno either? i forget specifics abt that particular relationship tho. c!sapnap and c!george were never really on c!wilbur's side in any conflict...as opposed to c!dream, who was. and so on and so forth

She lost her brother a month ago
His picture on the wall
And it reminds me
When she brings me coffee... her smile
I wish I could be with her until my last day
In the forest, a cottage lays peacefully in a secluded meadow near a running stream. The tall trees lay their shadows onto the grassy floor, leaving marks from the sun. Water solemnly runs along, moving to its next destination through the stream. Grass rustles and a soft sigh is heard.
Stretching his arms above his head, a man clad in green slowly sits up, emerald eyes darting around. He yawns. "(Y/N)!" He's now standing up, searching for his lover. Dream's hand reaches down to grab his mask left abandoned on the grass, quickly putting it on.
Preparing his sword, his hand on the hilt, Dream slowly steps toward the cottage. He rests a hand on the door, waiting for something, anything.
A scream is heard.
He now slams the door open, netherite blade on full display, ready to attack. Looking around, he notices no one but (Y/N) in the cozy home, with a kettle on the ground next to them. Lowering his guard, sighing with relief, he sheathes his sword once more, walking over to his distraught partner.
"Are you alright?" Removing his mask, he takes their hands in his. Dream looks at them. (Y/N) looks down, taking their hurt hand out of his. Sighing, Dream quickly leads them over to the sink, running the tap. "What happened?" The coldness of the water helped soothe the burn. "I just, accidentally burnt myself with the kettle. It's okay, I'll live, Clay."
The man remained silent. The only sound heard in the cottage was the running tap water. After treating the burn on their hand, Dream leads (Y/N) to the chair on the side of the room. "You. Sit. I'll finish doing whatever you were doing. You just sit there and take it easy, you just burnt your hand." Bending down to their height, Dream stands face to face with (Y/N). He narrows his eyes slightly. He was always like this. Whenever (Y/N) got hurt in any sort of way, Dream was always on it, almost suffocating them with his overwhelming protectiveness.
They sighed, avoiding his eyes. "I- I was just... I just wanted to make you a coffee this morning. I know you're going to be busy later, so I wanted to make sure that you were energized for your work." Fiddling with their bandaged hand, (Y/N) smiled gently. "I see how you're always so dedicated to the stuff you do, and I wanted to return the favor, even if it's just a cup of coffee."
Dream's eyes softened. It was true, he was dedicated to his work. Running an SMP was hard, especially with some people interfering with his plans recently. He had plans to take power over the server again. Finding and taking everything his people were attached to was difficult, but at least he had (Y/N) to come home to. It was all for them. It was worth the hard work and pain just to see (Y/N) smile at him, showing him their love.
"It's okay. Thank you for wanting to do that, but you don't have to." Running his hand up to their cheek, he smiled. "I do all of my work for you, to help make a safe place for you. Once I sort out the rebellious people, I promise, I'll come back to you, and we can live together in my SMP." (Y/N) gazed up at him, looking into his eyes. They smiled, beaming at the idea.
"Alright! I promise I'll wait for you! I'll always wait for you. I love you, Clay."
"I love you too. I promise I will come back to you. Always."
He would do anything to see that smile on their face all the time.
She said she gave all her love to me
We dreamt a new life
Some place to be at peace
But things changed... Suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster
It had been two days. Two days since Dream had left. (Y/N) had since then tended to the flowers and read a few books Dream had gotten them from a faraway village.
'I wonder what he's doing now?' Looking up at the sky, (Y/N)'s mind began to wander. What was dream doing right now? Maybe he was still on his way back to his SMP? Or maybe he was trading with villagers for resources?
They smiled. Dream had been one of (Y/N)'s lifelong friends turned partner. They had met when (Y/N) used to live in a village as a child. (Y/N) was nine and Clay was ten. Dream had gotten into a rough fight with two skeletons and a zombie. He was stumbling around, trying to find help for his injuries.
That was when (Y/N) appeared. Hearing the boy's cries, they ran out of their family home, taking Dream into the house to be treated, screaming for their parents to help him.
They had grown up together as best friends after that. Meeting George and Sapnap, the group loved to go on little adventures together and play their favourite game: manhunt. Dream would always insist on running, with George and Sapnap chasing after him. Sometimes, (Y/N) would join them, but they quite enjoyed seeing the trio panic during the game. It was fun.
A couple years ago, Dream visited (Y/N), saying that he was starting up his own SMP, a place where he and his friends could have fun and just be themselves all the time. The two of them spend hours in (Y/N)'s room, talking about their big plans and ideas for the SMP. Dream wanted to build a cottage near a stream, and live there peacefully with (Y/N). They were shocked, Dream wanted to live with them? "Why?" They asked.
"Well, because of... I'll just show you."
That was the day Clay had kissed (Y/N) for the first time.
I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever
A month had passed. Nothing from Dream. Usually, he'd send a message through on their server communicator, asking how they were and informing them of his journey and new discoveries. But that didn't happen, not this time.
It was hard. Clay had been such a big part of their life that sometimes they found it hard not to worry about him. They knew he was strong, he could take down armies of people, but everyone had their limit.
Raising the iron hoe, (Y/N) swung down, making way for the new seeds of crops that would grow over the next few months. Wiping their forehead with their sleeve, they sighed.
All they wanted was for Dream to be safe, and for him to come back home once he finished his business in the SMP.
Oh Where is my lover
And I got no power
I'm standing alone, No way
Calling out your name
Heavy pants of breath echoed throughout the underground bunker. He was panicking. It wasn't supposed to go like this.
The plan was to kill Tubbo and make Tommy give him his disks.
It all went to shit when Punz showed up with backup, showing the people of his SMP that had turned against him fully.
"W-woah! Okay! Tommy, calm down!"
The blonde boy didn't listen, hands gripping the axe of peace and lifting it high above his head.
"Tell me why I shouldn't kill you Dream, right here, right now."
Dream silently gulped. For once, his plan failed. It backfired on him and blew up in his face. 'Sorry (Y/N). Guess I'm not coming back tonight.' He just wanted this to be over. He just wanted to be back in the cottage near the stream, sitting with his lover.
His green eyes darted around to everyone in the room. They looked disgusted, some disappointed, others angry. He knew this would never change. He would never get his SMP back. They hated him. Wanted him gone.
"Does Y/N know you're like this?"
His breath hitched. Eyes went wide.
Sapnap had stepped forward, sword out, pointing it threatening at Dream. "Do they know just how bad you are? How corrupt you've become?!" He was yelling at this point. Sapnap was upset as well. It was hard to believe that his best friend would do all of these bad things, it hurt to betray him, but he had to do what was right.
"S-stop. Stop talking about them."
For once, Dream was vulnerable. He hated it. He was always so soft when it came to them. When it came to (Y/N). Sapnap knew that. He had seen it when they were together, how happy dream was when he was with them, following them around like a lost puppy, longing for their love. It went both ways, (Y/N) was the same.
"Who the fuck is- Nevermind. Dream. Give me one good fucking reason why I shouldn't-"
"Tommy stop." Sapnap stepped in again. "This is important to not just me but for another person as well." Tommy stepped back, axe still prepared to lash out just in case. Tommy kept muttering to himself, something about a green bastard.
"Dream. Where is (Y/N)? You said they would join the SMP with us, but they're not here, nobody has seen them, probably besides you. You said that they changed their mind about the SMP, or was that a lie too?"
Dream gulped, words caught in his throat.
"Tell me, you bastard! Where is (Y/N) and do they know?!"
"No. They don't know. All I wanted to do was protect them from something I knew would happen. The wars, the chaos of the SMP. They didn't need to be a part of that. I didn't want them to get hurt."
It was almost like a plea. Dream's voice was quiet like he didn't want them to hear what he was saying. Sapnap stepped back, somewhat satisfied with his answer. He was also upset, he hadn't seen (Y/N) in years, not since before the SMP started.
Tommy finally stepped forward.
"Now. Tell me why I shouldn't kill you, Dream."
"I can bring people back to life. I can bring Wilbur back."
I said I gave all my love to you
We dreamt a new house
Some place to be at peace
But things changed... Suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster
Three months. It had been three long months without him. (Y/N) would spend every other night crying in their bed, missing him. They missed everything about him. No messages from him on their communicator. No death messages about him either.
They had never thought that three months could feel so long.
Surely he was busy doing stuff that would mean the world was safer for them. That's what he always said. He said that he worked for them and that he promised that they could settle down and make a new cottage near a different stream, closer to the SMP.
He said he needed to dig out the rebellious people and make his SMP a better place.
All (Y/N) could hope for was that he was safe and doing okay.
We don't know what is wrong tonight
Everybody's got no place to hide
No one's left and there's no one to go on
All I know is my life is gone
Dream was not feeling safe and right now he was feeling anything but okay.
Tommy had just broken his mask. Split down the middle, from the axe of peace.
He didn't want anyone to see his face, no one but (Y/N) and the people who had already seen it before he started wearing the mask.
His mask was his safe haven. A facade he could hide behind. With it gone, there was now no place for him to hide.
All he had done was tell Tommy that he could bring people back to life. When he mentioned Wilbur, Tommy seemed shocked, but then he seemed to come back to his senses after remembering what Wilbur was like before he died.
He went crazy. Insane. All because of Dream and his stupid motives. He only fueled Wilbur's change, encouraging him to blow Manburg up after Jschlatt took over. Thank God for Karl destroying the button the first time. The second attempt was successful and sealed Wilbur's fate as a psychotic, destroyed ex-president swayed by the masked man into committing destruction.
Tommy was angry at that. At the fact that Dream would even think about bringing back Wilbur.
Enraged, he brought the axe down onto Dream's cowering figure.
I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever
Sitting up, (Y/N) slowly looked around the room. It was the same as always; no Dream insight. They woke up every day with a feeling of hope that they would turn around and see Dream at the door, back from his trip.
The situation was too much. (Y/N)'s breaths quickened, eyes blurring up with tears, the salty water slowly dripping down the sides of their cheeks. They let out a dry laugh, bringing up their sweater paw hands to their face, wiping the tears.
They stared at the sleeve of the hoodie they had on. It was green.
It was his.
He always left a spare here, just in case.
It always came in handy when (Y/N) missed him.
They sighed, flopping back down onto the bed, curling into themselves and the hoodie. It smelt like him. He always smelt like a run through the forest, with a hint of saltwater and citrus.
It was comforting.
He was comforting.
The tears wouldn't stop. Every time (Y/N) wiped them away, fresh ones would keep coming. Where was he? Was he okay? It was all they could think about.
(Y/N) hugged themselves, hoping to recreate a hug like his. It didn't work. It never worked.
Nothing could ever compare to his hugs.
Still sobbing, (Y/N) cried themselves back to sleep, despite it being morning.
Not like they had any motivation to do anything without the assurance of him being okay anyways.
Oh Where is my lover
And I got no power
I'm standing alone, No way
Calling out your name
Beep.
(Y/N)'s communicator went off.
Dream was slain by Tommyinnit.

dream smp 01/05 event breakdown
the green festival.
here is a quick breakdown of the important events that happened on the dream smp on january 5th. if i messed anything up or missed something, please comment so i can change/add it! 
⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾
(breakdown of yesterday’s set-up, 01/04) 
Technoblade and Tommy get his axe and sword back from Ranboo and Fundy. They set off a wither in L’Manberg. Tommy joins Techno in his plans to destroy L’Manberg, 
⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾  
Today’s events
Late last night (01/04) Ranboo showed on stream his underwater obsidian base that he made in case things go south. It is littered with signs that say things like “it was dream’s fault” and “it’s all going to be ok.” He realizes that a page of his diary is missing (has been deleted) and comes to the conclusion that it was Dream. 
The festival begins. They (Tubbo, Fundy, Ranboo, Quackity) plan to kill Dream while he is in L’Manberg without any armour. They play the games that Fundy/Ranboo prepared. Techno and Tommy plan on killing him as well. 
On their way to L’Manberg, Tommy and Techno see the prison that Sam/Dream is building. They meet with Ranboo, who tells them what is happening with the Festival. 
Dream takes a while to show up. When he joins the server, he immediately begins rebuilding obsidian walls around L’Manberg again. Dream tells them that Tommy fucked up, and bring them to the community house, which has been completely blown up. He blames it on Tommy, and tells Tubbo that he won’t blame it on them if Tubbo gives him his disk. Tommy appears, swearing that he did not do it. Tommy and Tubbo fight briefly, Tommy gives up. He does not care about the disks anymore. Tubbo finally just gives Dream the disk. 
Tommy betrays Techno and switches back onto Tubbo’s side. 
Dream insults Tubbo, calling him an idiot and saying that he was the worst president L’Manberg has ever had. Tubbo had just given him the one thing that was stopping him from destroying the country. He tells them the Ranboo is a traitor, that he was talking to Tommy and Techno.
Dream and Technoblade team. Tommorow, at 3PM (noonCDT), they will destroy L’Manberg. Techno’s and Dream’s plan is for Dream to set TNT off from the sky, and Techno to set withers off from the ground.
Tommy takes a leadership role. He sets up 3 chests: supplies, armour and potions, for them to fill up and share with one another for the “war” tomorrow.
Punz switches sides, and teams with Tommy and L’Manberg. Sapnap is not sure he wants to go against Dream, but he and Tommy will talk about it tomorrow. Niki is still angry at Tommy as well. 
Quackity is angry at Ranboo, being a traitor. He wants to execute Ranboo, but Tubbo convinces him not to as it would be a war crime. 
Ranboo has no loyalty towards L’Manberg itself, but rather to the people within it. He does not see the importance of the country and of the government. He agrees to join them in the war, but reminds them that even if they win, it will not last forever. He is confused and upset. Dream manages to convince Ranboo that he helped Tommy blow up the community house, since he has bad memory and must not have remembered doing it. At the end, he says “I’m not even real”-- The conversation was all in his head. 
⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾ 
Honorable mentions:
Tubbo says the Thing! “Let the festival begin.”
Tommy accidently kills Tubbo’s dog mid-scene “MISCLICK MISCLICK”

Sam Trapped Tommy’s Base
Ok, I keep thinking back to the trap at tommy’s base, and with the realization that Sam is a very good liar I think he’s the one who set up the trap.
As pointed out in this post https://foolishalex.tumblr.com/post/670030952738766848/my-theory-is-that-it-was-csam-who-did-that-shit by @foolishalex one hole in this theory is the question of how did Sam get a hold of the audio of dream and tommy’s encounter?
I think I have an answer to this.
https://clips.twitch.tv/AverageCleanEmuSwiftRage-YdmFKtUIkUs80gG4
Sapnap: Sam I don’t know where he could have gone.
Sam: I know where he’s gonna go.
Sapnap: Where?
Sam:... Sapnap I know where he’s gonna go. Where is-... Who has his stuff? His armor.
Sapnap: What armor?
Sam: ...Oh No.
Sapnap: oh no!
Sam: Sapnap I-I gotta go somewhere, I-I gotta go. I-I-I’m gonna go- I’m gonna go to where th-th-the bunker was, where we arrested him.
Sapnap: Ok,
Sam: I’m gonna go there, you try and find somewhere else.
Sapnap: (Whispering) his armor.
Sapnap: GO GO GO GO
Sam: yo-jst- You search I’m- I’m going
Sapnap: his armor, his armor his armor
Sam: You- you go
Sapnap: his armor, his armor
In this part of Sapnap’s stream Sam realizes that Dream is going to try and get his stuff back first.  He says  “ Where is-... Who has his stuff? His armor. “
So Sam remembers that someone took Dream’s armor before he was arrested. However he at the end of the interaction he says “ Sapnap I-I gotta go somewhere, I-I gotta go. I-I-I’m gonna go- I’m gonna go to where th-th-the bunker was, where we arrested him. “
Why would Sam go to the bunker if he knows it’s not there?
I think, that Sam went to find Tommy because he thought he still had dreams stuff. Sam had visited Tommy in exile previously so he knows where it is.
And I think Sam recorded Tommy and Dream’s conversation.
However this brings up another question. If all this is true why didn’t Sam do anything?
Consider this conversation from Sapnap’s Stream:
https://clips.twitch.tv/MushyLightDunlinWutFace--0-B8HVoZu2eQRi5
Transcript:
Sam: He never talks to me! It’s not like we’re talking, h-he sometimes he’ll talk but I just think he’s lying the whole time- and usually he’s just saying disgusting things and I don’t know-
Sapnap: Disgusting things? what is he saying?
Sam: Yeah! he’s just telling me that when he gets out he’ll kill me, and he’s gonna like- get strong again and become as strong as he was, and then bada bing bada boom he’s gonna try and kill me
Sapnap: (Cross talk) You-You are in a fucking sticky situation then Sam.
Sam: (Sigh) Yeah Sapnap, I think were all are in a little bit of a ‘sticky situation’ here.
Now weather or not Dream actually said this is unclear, because Sam seems to be quite the unreliable narrator when it comes to him. But I do think that Sam believes that Dream wants to kill him, and will when given the chance.
He also believes that Dream wants to torment Tommy, and that even if he kills him, Tommy will eventually be revived.
Sam is also out of any hostages that could even the playing-field pvp wise.
The next question is why?
I think it’s fairly obvious that Sam care’s about Tommy and his well-being, so why would he trap tommy’s base and leave a creepy disk there?
I can think of two separate reasons, though it would likely be a mix of both:
1. Sam wants to continue to solidify the idea that Dream is evil and is focused on making Tommy’s life miserable. So giving tommy another scare so he can tell everyone about it would generally sway people’s opinions.
But it would also justify Sam’s actions. He let Quackity into the prison daily to torture Dream, kept him in inhumane conditions, actively starved him, and arrested another person without telling them why, or letting the other guards know solely because he thought it would help keep dream in prison.
In Sam’s mind Dream has to be pure evil and “deserving” of all of this, and this would help Sam continue to justify that to himself.
It’s actually not too out of character for him to try and sway public opinion like this.
https://clips.twitch.tv/BrainyInterestingClipsmomDatSheffy-5Ep6QMko-yu5F0cd
Transcript:
Sam: They got into the main cells as well, they-the-, like they knew the perfect place to break through like- there’s just no way Sapnap, that they could have known-
Sapnap: Wh-Who- Who is a guard?
Sam: Me, Bad, and Ant.
Sapnap: Ok, and it wasn’t you right?
Sam: Well, why would it be me? Do you know how hard I’ve worked to keep him in there?
Sapnap: (Cross talk) I don’t know, what if you- if you’re-
Sapnap: So you’re saying you think Bad or Ant just to-told em, but how-
Sam: (Cross talk) I Don’t know Sapnap, but they knew too much information, they knew too much!
Sapnap: (Cross talk) But how- How much do Bad and Ant (know)?
In this part of Sapnap’s stream, Sam says that there’s no way they (techno or dream) could have known the one flaw of the prison. But Dream is literally the only person other than Sam who could have known about it, and him and Techno spent months together in the cell. So it’s very possible and almost guaranteed for them to have known about it.
I’d go even as far to say that Sam put glass in the main cell to trigger the alarm because he knew that would be the only way to warn him if that escape method was used. 
So why did he tell Sapnap that it was “impossible”.
Well he doesn’t outright say it, but Sapnap get’s what he’s implying:
“Sapnap: So you’re saying you think Bad or Ant just to-told em, but how-
Sam: (Cross talk) I Don’t know Sapnap, but they knew too much information, they knew too much!“
He knows that Bad is super empathetic, and that Ant is too smart to not see that Sam was doing shady stuff in the prison. So he’s already starting to discredit them to the rest of the server, to prepare in advance if they try to expose him.
2. He wanted to keep tommy from going after dream. He made tommy promise to not go after dream when he gave him the spare guard armor.
And when tommy began to fortify Tubbo’s old house, same asks what he’s doing with a shield equipped, and takes notice when he thinks tommy says offensive instead of defensive.
he also shows tommy to sam nook again after this. Something he built to keep tommy safe when the eggpire was at it’s peak.

i hate the troupe where it was all just a dream but. if tommy woke up now and everything was a bad dream and we were back in og l’manberg before the betrayal and everyone was happy!!! I WOULD NOT MIND IT!!!! FEEL LIKE SHIT JUST WANT THEM BACK!!!!
this made me happy to write :’) as much as i love time travel aus where someone goes back in time to the beginning of the server to fix it, i love the idea of c!tommy waking up in the past with no trauma or anything - of it all just being a dream,,,, so i had to write this :D 
no warnings for this one, other than swearing and very moderate violence !!
"That," Tommy says, in perhaps his most profound moment of wisdom in sixteen years, "was a shit dream."
And with a yawn and a shrug, he hops out of bed, drags himself round to Wilbur’s place, and begins to describe in vague detail why he thinks maybe L’Manburg is a bad idea.
It takes a lot of wheedling, theatrics, threats, blackmails, bargaining and demanding, but eventually Wilbur gives in begrudgingly. “I guess sectioning off part of the server from Americans maybe isn’t the best move,” his older brother reluctantly admits, “we’ll keep L’Manburg, Tommy, but you can tell the Dream Team and others they’re...”
He sighs. He looks like saying this is the equivalent of having teeth pulled.
“...Welcome in L’Manburg whenever they want.”
Tommy whoops. “You’re the best, Wil!” He calls, beginning to lope off in the direction of the L’Manburg borders. “Other than me,” he adds, slightly quieter, “’cause I’ve just managed to stop all of us ending up with shitloads of trauma.”
One point to Tommy.
Zero points to Dream, who yelps loudly when Tommy walks up and kicks him in the shins. 
“What the hell?” The older huffs. “What was that about? Wha-”
Tommy hugs him. Dream’s protests are silenced.
“Tommy?” He asks, something like worry softening his complains from before. “Are you okay?”
“Had a really shit dream, Dream,” Tommy tells him, and then kicks him again, “you were a massive dick in it.”
Dream scowls. It’s weird - Tommy had almost forgotten what his face had looked like. “Stop kicking me!”
“Come into L’Manburg,” Tommy offers with a shit-eating grin, “Americans are officially allowed.”
Sapnap whoops and drops down unceremoniously from a tree above them. “Dude, seriously?”
“Were you fucking listening to all of that?” Tommy demands, only to be dragged off in the direction of L’Manburg again by Sapnap and Dream. “Oi, dick!!”
But Sapnap is cheering as he jumps over the L’Manburg walls, and Dream is laughing as he swings himself over them, and Wilbur is watching warily from a distance, but he’s smiling too. When the situation is explained to Tubbo and Fundy, they’re grinning, and welcoming Punz and George, who can’t quite help smiles either. 
So Tommy smiles. He can’t stop it. Standing next to Tubbo, watching Fundy pull an early morning prank on George by moving everything in the Community House (newly established between L’Manburg and the rest of the SMP) three blocks to the right, he sighs, content.
“This is what L’Manburg should be,” he says, not low enough that Tubbo can’t hear, “this is what I wanted.”
Tubbo snorts. “You say that like it wasn’t gonna end up like this anyway,” he replies cheerfully, “well, apart from Dream and that being here. But I trusted Wilbur. We would’ve been happy.”
Tommy thinks of the war and elections and revolution and exile, thinks of Doomsday, thinks of the prison.
“Well, we are now,” he says, and knocks an elbow against Tubbo’s ribs fondly, “though I will kick your arse if you don’t help me get my disks back from Dream.”
And his best friend laughs, because they both know Dream is holding onto the disks out of childish amusement rather than any actual malice, and the sun shines brighter down on them than ever.
(”Hey, dude,” Tommy calls over to Dream one day, “who’re you whitelisting?”
Dream arches an eyebrow at him. “I dunno,” he says honestly, “any suggestions in mind?”
Tommy grins. “Have you ever heard of a guy called Ranboo?”)

sorry to request yet another one, but you are such an amazing writer. Could I possibly have a romeo and juliet type story where reader is sleepybois sibling and is in love with either poly dream team (dream,George,sapnap) or just george xx

trigger warnings: swearing, yelling, character death, Wilbur being a dumbass
premise: you are one of Philza’s children, and have fought for L’manburg’s independence, we follow your secret romance with the enemy, of course, this tragedy knows no happy ending
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You carefully dropped down over the side of the L’manburg wall, ducking into a roll before standing up and dusting yourself off, starting to sneak away.
A hand clamps around your forearm, pulling you around the side of a tree.
You hold back a yelp, instead turning with a smile, whispering, “Mr. Sapnap we simply must stop meeting like this.”
“And what? You’d have us march through your gates announcing ourselves to your brothers, I think not.” Nick chuckled.
“Well, I suppose that would put a damper on things.” You grinned, pressing a kiss to his lips.
He fit your hand into his, pulling you along as you started for where the others would be waiting, “Especially when they are so against our dear Dream.”
“To be fair, he was against us.” You argued.
“But no more.” The man himself pointed out, stepping out of the shadows, rising his mask enough to press a kiss to your knuckles.
“Because we continued to fight? or Because you wanted an excuse to talk to me without it being over a declaration of war?”
“I believe it was because Tommy gave up his disks,” George offered, leaning in to place a kiss on your cheek, “Hello dearest.”
You sighed, “Phil gave him those disks. They were one of the only things to survive the blast.”
Behind the mask you could tell Dream’s face fell, and he started to turn away, “I- we did what we thought was right.”
“Blowing up my country was what you thought was right?” You challenged, crossing your arms, “You even had the audacity to cheer as my head was separated from my body by the sheer force.”
“Here we go again.” George muttered.
“We didn’t know you then! Things have changed! You and your people are free now!”
“That does not change our history.” You said indigently.
“What about when Sapnap burned the forests? That’s part of your history too yet we don’t see you yelling at him!” Dream exclaimed.
You sighed, “The forests were replanted with his help, and he has shown remorse, and regret over his actions.”
Surprisingly Dream wrapped his arms around you, pulling you flush against his chest, “If that is what I takes to gain your trust, then I am sorry. I hope my past mistakes do not haunt you any longer.”
Reluctantly you wrapped your arms around him, smiling as the other boys joined the embrace.
After a few moment Dream pulled away, “c’mon, we may even have time for a proper date.”
~~
“An election?” You questioned, “But your already the president.”
Wilbur grinned, “But I put myself in that position, if we do it this way everything is fair!”
You glanced down at the papers littering his desk, “Wil I don’t see how this makes things fair, I mean,” You picked up the note book where he’d been witting makeshift ballots, “Closing the ballots early? The people will only have one option! How is that fair?”
“Actually, I’m running as well.”
You turned to see Quackity entering the office, “You? You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
The man frowned, “Well, I figure if Wilbur here gets a chance to do it fair why shouldn’t I?”
“We’ll be able to beat him easily.” Your brother quietly assured you.
~~
“You alright love? You seem stressed.” Nick said quietly.
You sighed looking up at the sky, “Wilbur plans to hold an election. He believes we can over take Quackity and Swag 2020, but now Fundy and Niki have made there own party as well.”
George turned, propping himself up on his elbow, “That doesn’t sound good. If he’s already in charge why does he need to be re elected?”  
“We put him on the throne, Tommy, Tubbo, Niki, Fundy and I. He wishes to be there fairly with the support of the people.”
Dream hummed, “Do you think he could win?”
“It’s possible,” You sighed, leaning back against Nick, “But campaigns have been tricky, Tommy managed to dig up Jshlatt. They though he could help, but now he’s trying to make a claim to having a spot on the ballot.”
“I thought he was dead.” George said.
You laced your fingers through his, “Well now he’s just a drunk who’s running for president. God I hope it was just a joke.” You muttered the last part.
The boy shared glances, Nick hazarding, “What happens if someone else wins?”
“Well, I suppose it wouldn’t change much for me, technically I hold no office other than managing my brothers and the campaign, it’d shift me further out of public eye, but, I think Wilbur wouldn’t handle it well.”
Dream began to trace shapes into your open palm, “Well, with you in charge of the campaign I doubt your brother will fail.”
You smiled, “Let’s hope so.”
A few hours later, as the sun began to disappear beyond the hills of L’manburg you stood up from the picnic, bidding your lovers farewell, “Wilbur’s meeting starts soon, and I’ll be missed.”
After a few traded kisses you started back through the woods toward L’manburg, sneaking back in through a gap that had never been fixed in the wall, pausing at your house to change back into your L’manburg uniform before hurrying off to the white house.
“Your late!” Tommy called sharply as you entered Wilbur’s office.
“I lost track of time working on the last of the posters.” You pulled the rolled up tubes of paper from the bag you’d grabbed at the house as well.
Wilbur took the tubes as Tommy looked at you skeptically, “Yeah, doing that and what else?”
“Well I was talking to Phil today telling him about the election,” You sat down next to Tubbo, “But not much else.”
Wilbur sighed, dropping a flyer on the table, “We have more important notion to discuss, it would seem that Shlatt is serious about this.”
You grabbed the flyer, looking over the bolded, ‘Shlatt 2020′ and then back at Wilbur, “This can’t be real. I thought you closed the ballot.”
“The people favor him enough to allow him a spot on the ballot.” Tubbo sighed.
“We still stand a chance though,” Tommy said quickly turning to Wilbur, “Right Wil?”
Your older brother hesitated, wavering for a moment, before nodding, “Yes. Yes of course.”
~~
“(y/n) I must ask you some thing.” Wilbur said as the meeting ended and Tommy and Tubbo headed out.
“Yeah?”
“Why do you sneak out?” Your breathing hitched but he continued, “Who are you meeting? What are you hiding? Who do you talk too from- from the SMP lands?” His voice turned to acid at the last words.
“I don’t go anywhere, outside L’manburg. Other than for walks in the forest on occasion.” You lied.
Wilbur examined your face, as if searching for something, “Fine then. Don’t tell me, I will find out sooner or later.”
He strode out of the room, leaving you to pull out your com tablet, privately messaging Dream, ‘it might be a bit before I can see you guys again’
‘:(’
You rolled your eyes quickly typing, ‘Wils getting suspicious, I’m just trying to keep you safe’
‘george also says :(’ Was all you received in reply, so you quickly put the tablet away, heading out of the office and out to the street.
You took a deep breath, looking back at the podium, ballots would be collected tomorrow, and then everything could change.
~~
“Last night, before the last of the ballots were collected, Mr. Quackity of the SWAG 2020 party made an agreement with Mr. Jshlatt of the SHLATT 2020 campaign, that if neither party won the popular vote, they would combine there votes, creating a collation.” WIlbur announced.
From your place to the side of the stage you froze, fear coursing through your veins.
“And so, the combined percentages of SWAG 2020 and SHLATT 2020, bring the coalition to 46% of the popular vote.”
Your heart pounded in your ears, feeling Tommy freeze beside you.
“Which means, the coalition government of SWAG and SHLATT 2020, have won the L’manburg election, by 1%.”
The world seemed to slow as parts of the crowd erupted into cheers, Quackity jumped around on the stage yelling as Wilbur slowly moved away from the podium, out of the corner of your eye, near the back of the stands you see your boyfriends all looking down, but you paid them no mind, instead looking Shlatt dead in the eye as he grinned maliciously at you, before turning to address the crowd.
Wilbur tugged you and Tommy away from the stage, “We’re citizens tonight.”
Shlatt leaned over the podium as you took seats near the front of the crowd, “Well that, was pretty easy.”
You felt your brothers grip your hands, as you stared up at Shlatt.
“You know what I said when I announced this campaign? I said ‘things are gonna change’ I looked every citizen of L’manburg in the eye and I said ‘you listen to me... this place will be a lot different tomorrow.”
He smirked down at you, “So let’s start making that happen. My first decree as president of L’manburg- as EMPEROR! Of this great country!”
Your breathing hitched, “Is to revoke citizenship-! Of TommyInnit, Wilbur Soot, and (Y/n)! Get them out of here!”
Suddenly it seemed as though every weapon in the city was trained on you as Tommy dragged you up out of your seat.
Wilbur was yelling at you to run, but you remained frozen on the spot, turning to look at the podium one last time before following your brothers, only a few steps behind, most of the crowd beginning to disperse
Some one practically screamed your name, and you turned in time for an onslaught of arrows to bury themselves in your body.
The last thing you saw before crumpling to the ground was Dream, Nick and George rushing toward you.
Shlatt strode off the stage, trying to move closer to your body only to be blocked by Dream’s outstretched sword.
He peered around where George had flung himself over you, “I want them out of here as soon as they respawn.”
~~
You woke to someone pressing a damp cloth to your forehead, and excruciating pain spreading throughout your body.
Your eyes flicked open, looking around at the cave you found yourself in, in confusion. When you tried to sit up a gentle hand pushed you back down, “Don’t, you only respawned fully a day ago, you're too weak for that.”
“What’re you doing here?” You groaned.
Technoblade chuckled, “I heard someone say rebellion.”
You looked at him confused for a moment before he elaborated, “This is Pogtopia, cause apparently Wilbur can’t go more than a few months without establishing a new country. Tommy found the cavern after they were ran out of L’manburg. Tubbo is working with Shlatt to hunt you guys down, and Wilbur is trying to start a plan to get the country back.”
“How’d I get here? my bed is all the way in L’manburg.”
Techno grabbed one of the baked potatoes he’d brought up to your room, offering it to you, “That’s the thing I was meanin to ask ya, is there a reasonable explanation as to why it was the Dream Team who brought your body back here? All dramatic and not wantin to leave?”
You face flushed and you turned your head away from him, “It’s a long story.”
“I’ve got time.” You brother said, moving to lean back against the wall.
You giggled nervously, “I guess it technically started when L’manburg was still fighting for independence...”
You told him of the strange glances during war councils, the way Nick had stopped in his tracks when he saw the way you looked forlorn at the burning wood, the way George found ways to sneak you trinkets signed ‘from someones special’, and the way you were never in any real danger during many battles.
You recalled your first real meeting with Dream after you had gained independence, the way he’d seemed so different then than at the signing of the peace treaty, the way that You’d received help replanting the forests, and the quiet still moments shared by the channel George almost unaware of your being there.
It was the first time you had really spoken about your lovers to anyone, and though it took a weight off your shoulders it added another as Techno subconsciously pulled out his axe and began to sharpen it.
“They wouldn’t hurt me, and the conflict that we shared was between the SMP Lands and L’manburg, not us.” You finished quietly.
Techno looked at you quizzically, “Your telling me Dream, the Dream, Mister Manhunts and smp and god among men Dream, would willingly put away his conflicts, his gains, his leverage, just for you?”
“For all of us.” You said firmly.
“That why he kept Tommy’s disks?”
“Tommy willingly gave up those disks for the country.” You muttered.
Your older brother ignored you, “That why he openly endorsed Shlatt as soon as your back was turned?”
You froze, pushing yourself to sit up, even as it made your head spin, “What the fuck are you talking about?”
“Shlatt’s key endorsement, you know, the endorsement given to the guy who was suppose to endorse Wil?” He watched as your face fell, before quietly starting out of the room, “I won’t tell either of them, but if Dream loses a life cause you find out it was true, don’t look my way.”
You fished your com tablet out of the pack that was lying next to your cot, ‘we need to talk.’
~~
“(y/n)! Thank god your okay!” Nick exclaimed, throwing his arms around you.
You hugged him back before turning to face Dream, “Why did you endorse Shlatt?”
He opened his mouth to say something but you cut him off, “And I don’t want a denial or an excuse, or- or any of that. I just want to know why you did it. Why you didn’t tell me?”
Shakily Dream pulled off his mask, looking you in the eye, “I didn’t mean to do anything that would hurt you. Technically I never publicly endorsed him, he took a piece of advice and ran with it to the people. If I had known he was going to do that I would’ve never talked to him in the first place. If I had known he was going to exile you, if he was going to take one of your lives I would have killed him where he stood with no hesitation.”
The mask shook his hand, and George gently took it from him, lacing there fingers together encouragingly.
“I know I fucked up talking to him but if he goes near you, or tries to get you exiled further, or anything like that, he’ll be dead. I- I will do what it takes to help you get L’manburg back.”
You bit your lip, still partially holding on to Nick, “Why did you tell me?”
“I didn’t want to add to the stress.”
“Also, you said Wilbur was getting suspicious, and you stopped talking to us for two days.” George pointed out.
You nodded, quietly rubbing at your eyes, “Uh, yeah, uh, so Techno knows.”
Nick stiffened, “What?”
“Technoblade knows about this- uh- us.”
“T- Technoblade, your brother, as in, The Technoblade, Mister violence, and blood god and technoblade never dies,  knows about us?” George gulped.
“He only threatened Dream, so don’t worry?” You said sheepishly.
Nick chuckled, “Wonderful, that means we get out with our heads and Dream gets to fight to the death.”
“I don’t see how that’s fair.” Dream pouted.
“Maybe I just thought it better to threaten you cause I know if I tried to take the other ones you’d come for me anyway.” Techno said, striding into the clearing.
The boys sat there looking at him for a moment before he sighed, turning to you, “You better get back inside ‘fore Wil goes insane. An’ you guys better clear out before Tommy sees you and goes berserk.”
Reluctantly your boyfriends nodded, quickly muttering goodbyes and leaving, only slightly in fear of Techno, and you turned to your brother with a sigh, “He can’t keep me locked up forever.”
“He’s worried. Paranoid even, thinks Shlatts gonna send someone to kill you again,” Techno explained, guiding you back towards one of the entrances of the cavern, “The stress is getting to him.”
~~
The days spent in Pogtopia began to blend together, the only memorable ones being the ones that were spent sneaking out and seeing your lovers, though you never excepted to see one of them within the cavern itself.
You had come down one of the narrow walkways of your new home, and when Tommy had grabbed your wrist, hissing “Dream is here! And he’s going to help Wilbur blow up L’manburg!” you were not nearly prepared to see him handing Wilbur a rather large bag.
Wilbur grinned wickedly, “This is perfect.”
“Wilbur,” Your little brothers voice was shaking, “Give me that tnt.”
Dream drew his sword, holding it up almost lazily in Tommy’s direction, “I’m going to have to step in on this one Tommy.”
You could see him smirking under the mask as you pushed Tommy behind you, “Wilbur what are you doing?”
“What needs to be done.” He said coldly, “If I can’t have Manburg no one can have Manburg!”
“And you think blowing up our home is the right move?” You said cautiously.
There was something different in Wilbur’s eyes, “No survivors.”
Techno watched this from his spot on the wall, “Wilbur I think we need to have a discussion, things like this take time to plan. (Y/n) why don’t you escort our guest out.”
You nodded sharply, starting towards the back of the cavern, “This way green boy.”
As soon as you got outside the cave you grabbed his wrist, shoving him against the rock wall, “What the fuck are you thinking?”
The now lopsided mask reviled his cocky smirk, “Shouldn’t this be the other way around?”
“Shut the fuck up! What are you thinking?”  You hissed.
“I’m helping you get back your L’manburg!” He sounded all too happy about it.
“By siding with him? He’s gone manic Clay! He’s fucking insane!”
Dream winced at the words, “He’s your brother. You have to side with him.”
“My brother is gone. I side with that man because I am loyal to my family, so long as Techno and Tommy are with him I am. If there was ever a time for you two to ever get along it would not be this.” You backed away from him.
“(y/n), I’m just trying to help.”
“I know,” You said softly, turning back to the cave entrance, “I’ll see you soon.”
~~
“Wars tomorrow.” George said quietly.
You nodded, carding your hand through his hair, “That it is.”
The month had passed quickly, and after the incident at the festival, and then Quackity’s meeting with Shlatt you seemed to have blinked and the eve of war was upon you.
You had snuck out, now spending your last night before the world changes again with your boys, huddled up together in one of the castles parapets. (It had been quite a shock to you when Dream dethroned Eret)
“We will be on different sides, how will this even play out?” Nick asked.
“Only time will tell.”
Dream, mask long since forgotten to the side, bit his lip, “(y/n), George, I want you to stay out of the fighting.”
“We can handle ourselves.” You argued.
“It’s George’s job to stay neutral, and you’re on your last life. None of us want to lose you.” He said softly, looking over Nick’s head at you.
“I will fight for my country. No one will stop me.”
“Even if Phil came back and told you not too?” Nick asked with a chuckle.
“Well-” You laughed, “I suppose it would depend.”
A while later, you began to head back to Pogtopia, your boys insisting on walking you back.
Upon reaching the cave you kissed each of them, “Until we see what tomorrow brings.”
They gave similar goodbyes, and you darted back into the cavern.
Coming around the corner someone grabbed your wrist, tugging it hard, and you came face to face with Wilbur, “Where the fuck were you?”
“uh- o- out.” You stuttered.
“Out with your boyfriends?” He taughtened, dragging you down through the cavern, past the new rooms that had been carved out recently, “When were you planning on telling us of this little fling?”
“What are you talking about?” Tears sprung to your eyes.
“Oh I know all about you and Dream and Sapnap and George! You and your fucking betrayal! Why the fuck would you try to betray me? I’m your brother!” He exclaimed, practically throwing you into a newly constructed cage.
You dug your nails into your palms, “Wilbur, please.”
“I know it was them who disconnected the TNT, who you keep sneaking out to meet, who you were conspiring against me with!” He locked the cage and you caught a glimpse of Techno, leaning against a wall looking down.
“Wil I never conspired against you!”
“We’ll see about that.” He hissed, “You’ll stay here until this is over. I may fail at regaining my L’manburg but I will not fail to kill those men.”
As he strode away you looked to Techno, “Techno what’s going on?”
“I’m sorry.” Was all he managed before hurrying away.
Tears began to stream down your cheeks as you looked around the abandoned alcove of the cavern, there was no getting out of this.
Quietly you pulled your com tablet from your sleeve, sending a messege to Phil, ‘dad I need help, Wil’s gone insane’
~~
You leaned against the bars of the cell, Pogtopia’s few members had long since left for the battle, and you were still here, trapped where Wilbur had left you, none of your boyfriends were responding to your pings, feeling utterly hopeless.
“(y/n)?” A yell echoed through the cavern.
“Phil!” You called desperately, “I’m in here!”
A few moments later your adoptive father appeared in the doorway, shocked upon seeing the locked cage and your tear stained cheeks, “(y/n).”
You nodded as he quickly began to work at the lock, pulling you into an embrace as soon as the cage opened.
“Dad,” You hiccupped, fighting back a new wave of tears, “He’s insane! He’s gonna try to blow up Manburg again! And he’s gonna try to kill them!”
“Who is?” He asked gently.
“Wilbur! He’s gone mad!”
Phil pulled away from you to look you in the eyes, “Are you sure?”
You nodded, sniffling.
Phil took a deep breath, looking around, “Okay, you get down to where they’re fighting, you try to keep Wilbur distracted once it’s over, I’ll try to think of something to stop the tnt.”
You nodded, quickly forcing yourself up, running out of the cavern.
You hurried through the woods, pushing yourself to go faster, making it to the crest of the hill as people flooded out of the van, cheering, people of Pogtopia, L’manburg and the SMP lands alike.
You charged down the hill, not seeing Wilbur standing to the side.
“Dream! Sapnap! George!” You yelled.
They turned to see you running at them, relived to see you okay, still not understanding the cryptic things Wilbur had been saying.
“(Y/n)-” Dream was cut off a yet another arrow planted its self in your back.
“Love?” You whispered, before crumpling to the ground.
They rushed forward, but it was too late, you were gone, and George early screamed, burring his face in an expressionless Nick’s shoulder.
Dream looked up at Wilbur, whos cross bow was still raised, utterly broken, “What the fuck have you done?”

Homebound - Deya’s childinnit au
This oneshot is for the amazing @deyageka ‘s hotel arc childinnit au! Go check it out, please! This is long, 8 page or 2,641 words, long, please note!
Sam walked home that day, humming to himself. Really, he wasn’t going home per say - just to the small house that Puffy, Foolish and himself had built after they found Tommy. Sam was calm as he could be, he walked instead of using his trident in an attempt to calm himself down after how long the day was. Dream has pulled at his strings early in the morning, and Ranboo sent him on a wild goose chase the second he left the prison. 
Sam hoped that Ranboo’s alright, his message didn’t sound right, even in chat. Why would Ranboo need a totem?
Sam walked into the house, and felt mounting dread as lights didn’t turn on. They should have already been on, the only reason why they would be off is if Puffy had taken Tommy out, but she had sent him a message asking him to come home as soon as possible. They weren’t in danger, she had said, Tommy had just wanted him back.
“I’m back!” Sam called. He smiled as he hoped that the pair were just napping as he shut the door.
False hope can only last so long.
“Puffy!” He screamed, looking at the woman as she lied on the floor. Blood ran down her face, unconscious. Almost like she was dead.
Sam doesn’t remember much of what happened next. Of course, he knows what happened. 
Dream escaped, stealing Tommy. At least, thats the basics. He knows Ranboo was there, he knows that Ranboo was - is - possessed. He knows that Tommy woke up as he was teleported away. He knows that some of the toys that Tommy had were taken.
He knows that Puffy hasn’t woken up yet, even though it’s been three days.
Phil and Techno came around, Techno helping Sam track down Dream and the boys. Tubbo moved Micheal into Sam’s base, hoping that it would be safer. Quackity, Karl, Sapnap and George also joined the search party. The groups split up, scouring the land. Tubbo joins, looking through places he knows Ranboo frequents.
Sam has been banned from searching after Phil found him, half dead, in the snow. 
Ponk helps him heal, but it isn’t enough. Sam can’t - won’t, he’s too much of a coward - voice why he won’t rest. It’s his fault that Tommy’s gone. It’s his fault that Dream got out. He is - was - Tommy’s father, and his was - is - the warden. He failed his jobs. He let not only Tommy, but the entire server down by letting Dream out.
Dream was right, Sam can’t protect anyone, let alone Tommy.  This is his fault.
“Hey, Sam.” Ponk says softly, carrying in some warm soup. “You up to eat now? I’ll eat some too, it can be a real date.”
There’s kindness in Ponk’s eyes, love and sympathy and caring in the brown eyes. Sam doesn’t deserve it. Sam’s hurt too many people, Ponk shouldn’t-
“You’re thinking too hard.” Ponk smiles, handing Sam the soup. “Stop blaming yourself for Tommy’s kidnapping. You couldn’t have known.”
“He’s gone because my prison failed.” Sam whispers. “I failed everyone. I was supposed to be the warden, I was supposed to protect-”
Sam breaks, sobbing. He can’t keep being strong, he can’t keep up this facade. It’s dragging him down, pulling him under the water. Vines wrap around his throat, squeezing the life out of him. The void would be a kinder death, he’s falling apart and-
And Ponk wraps his arms around Sam, letting the creeper hybrid sob into his arms. He holds Sam together, as the world falls apart.
----
“Tommy, settle down.” Dream rolls his eye, not that Tommy can see under his mask. The child is still annoying, but he follows orders easily.
“I want Papa.” Tommy protests, clinging to the Sam Nook toy that Ranboo had stolen for him when Dream took him. “Where’s my Papa.”
“I’m right here.” Dream says, cooing at the child.
“No you’re not.” Tommy glares, tears forming in his tiny eyes. “I want my Papa and Big Q and Karl and Foo’ish and Mama Puff and Sap and George!”
George.
“Do you like George?” Dream asks quietly, shock filling his chest. He could have George back, his best friend.
“Yeah! He reads to me and is safe.” Tommy smiles, tapping the Sam Nook toy around. “Makes me sleepy, though.”
“How would you feel if I asked George to come around?” Dream offers, taking out his communicator.
“Will he?” Tommy looks up, happily. 
“I’m sure he’d love to.” Dream says, and Tommy cheers, throwing Sam Nook to the side as he gives Dream a hug. “But now you need to go to bed.”
Tommy whines, but doesn’t struggle as Dream picks him up. The small child - only two or three years old at most - yawns, snuggling in to sleep as Dream places him in the bed. Dream smiles from under his mask, shutting the door slightly as he leaves. Dream walks down the stairs, watching through the door as Ranboo tidies up the living room. 
Dream whispers to Georgenotfound: Would you like to come around, I haven’t seen you since I left prison. Dream whispers to Georgenotfound: You can bring Sapnap as well, I guess. But I’d like to catch up with you - and tommy’s missing you i guess :/ Georgenotfound whispers to Dream: What are your co’ords? I’ll come now. We can bring Sapnap once he’s calmed down.
Dream smiles, sending through the coordinates without a second thought. Of course George would agree to come around. George is his best friend, he’s Dreams other half. George - and Puffy, a traitorous part of his brain whispers - would do anything for him.
Ranboo stops cleaning for a moment, looking up the stairs. Dream frowns, following his line of sight. No one is there, but he notices the small sobs that emit from the higher floor. Tommy. The child must be crying, maybe a nightmare. He’s too young to remember L’Manburg, the disks or the wars. He only remembers some people, after all.
Sam is one of them. Tubbo was not. A child's mind is a strange place.
Dream walks up the stairs, pausing outside Tommy’s room. He knocks before he enters, warning the boy. Dream turns on the light, not knowing what to expect. 
Tommy sits up in his bed, his eyes screwed shut as he sobs. Tommy hugs Sam Nook close, but no words fall from his lips. Dream sighs, scooping the boy up and gently rocking him. Tommy blinks his eyes open before he screws them shut, crying again. Dream frowns, sinking to the ground as he tries to settle the boy.
“Please stop crying.” Dream mumbles, rocking Tommy. He’s so small, so fragile. Dream can feel every shake of Tommy’s tine body as the child cries himself back to sleep. 
Dream sets the boy back into bed, tucking him in gently. He’ll wait with the boy until Ranboo is done, and then he’ll go to greet George.
----
“Dream sent me a message.” George says, casually leaning against the doorframe. “I have his coordinates.”
“I’m sorry, what?” Eret gasps, covering their mouth. Bad and Phil stand up, looking over George with carefully concealed confusion. “How long ago did you receive the message?”
“About fifteen minutes?” George frowns, checking the time. “Yeah, around fifteen minutes ago.”
“And you didn’t tell us until now?” Techno glares, an axe summoned into his hand.
“I couldn’t find you until now. Are you guys coming or what?”
“Have you told anyone else?” Phil asks, pulling his wings out of his cloak.
“Quackity, Karl and Sapnap are halfway there.” George says, walking towards the coordinates.
“Sam?”
“Doesn’t need the stress.” George says. “He’s too sick.”
“What’s the plan?” Bad asks quietly.
“Karl, Sapnap and Quackity stake the house out from a distance. I go in, distract Dream and Ranboo, and then grab Tommy and run.” George says.
“Where do we come in?” Techno asks.
“I dunno, we didn’t think that far ahead.” George shrugs. “Work it out when we get there.”
And with that, they walk.
----
Dream stands in the kitchen, watching the kettle boil as he waits for George to arrive. He’s boiled the kettle twice so far, waiting for his friend, but he doesn’t want the water to go cold before George can have some tea.
A knock sounds at the door, and Dream cautiously walks over, opening it. White clout glasses and brown hair appears, and Dream relaxes, opening his arms for a hug. George hesitates for a split second before he sinks into the hug. Dream doesn’t - wont - think about it. The hesitation.
“Hey.” Dream breaths, and George smiles. 
“Hey yourself. How are you?”
“Good. I’m a father now.” Dream smirks, and George pulls out from the hug. “Do you want some tea?”
“The gosip type or the good type?” George jokes, and Dream steps aside, showing George the kitchen bench, where two cups are laid.
“Guess.”
----
“Why did George hug him?” Techno whispers to Eret.
“They’re best friends, he’s keeping up the persona.” Eret replies. “Letting Dream’s guard down.”
“Will it work?”
“Well, we won’t know unless George either gets Tommy.” 
“Or he starts screaming.” Phil says darkly, his wings fluttering nervously behind him.
“Dream wouldn’t-” Bad shakes his head. “No, this Dream isn’t the same one who played with Sapnap as a kid. Dream would hurt George, wouldn’t he?”
----
“Is Tommy sleeping alright?” George asks, trying to sound casual. “Sam used to complain that he’d only ever sleep peacefully if I was there.”
It’s a lie, but George and Sam had both noticed that Tommy would sleep easily in George’s arms. Nightmares would still happen, but Tommy would calm down faster.
“He’s been having so many nightmares.” Dream admits. “He also cries a lot, even during the day. I think he needs you around. Familiar faces and all that.”
“What about Ranboo?” George asks, curiosity getting the better of him.
“Ranboo hasn’t been Ranboo since I escaped.” George can hear the self centered smirk in his voice, the proud lilt of admitting that he’s controlling the teen. “I think Tommy can tell that. It doesn’t seem to bother him all that much, he’s seen my face and isn’t scared.”
George’s stomach drops at that, fear lacing his insides. There’s a reason Dream wears the mask. He doesn’t look safe to be around, he looks like if the void had a neon green eye and a glowing, neon green hole gaping where his mouth and nose should be. But George knows better than to mention that, only raising his eyebrows with surprise.
“I would have thought that would make him cry.” George jokes, lightly elbowing Dream. “Is he sleeping?”
“I hope so, do you want to check?” Dream cocks his head to the side, not too unlike a puppy. George nods, and let’s Dream walk him up the stairs. 
Now’s his chance.
---
Sapnap nervously paces, the treeline hiding him from Dream’s watchful gaze. He’s far enough away to see everything, but not be able to hear anything. It’s safer this way, watching from a distance. Karl and Quackity won’t get hurt if he’s caught, this way. He doesn’t trust the silence, and from the nervous looks on his fiancees’ faces, they don’t like not being able to hear either.
An ear piercing scream tears the silence in half as Karl makes eye contact with Sapnap.
“GEORGE!” Sapnap screams, running towards the house. Snow melts under his feet, he can’t contain his anger. “George!”
Sapnap slams open the door to the house, his hand melting the door handle. George lays on the ground, his glasses under Dream’s foot. Blood. There’s so much blood. Too much blood. George is curled around Tommy, who wails at the top of his lungs. George isn’t moving. Why isn’t George moving? Why isn’t he struggling.
Duck.
Ranboo’s punch misses.
Sweep your opponents leg out from under them.
Ranboo falls to the ground, his head cracking painfully.
Keep your eyes on the room.
Blood pools under Ranboo’s head. Dream laughs.
Don’t let your guard down.
“Did you really think that George could take Tommy from me?”
Don’t let your opponent see any fear.
“I trusted you both. You’re my friends. I can’t believe you would betray me like this.”
Focus on the fight.
“I thought you cared about me, all I wanted was for us to be a family again.”
Dream stands on George, and Sapnap can hear the pained weaze that George breaths out. He’s still alive.
“Eyes on me, Snapnap.” Dream taunts, and Sapnap’s eyes jump back to his once-best friend. “You’ve got to work on that.”
Don’t make the first move.
“Not going to talk to me?”
Go on the defensive.
“That’s rude.”
Duck.
“Let’s dance.”
Duck. Sidestep. Block. Jab. Punch. Duck. Owch, was that his eye? Duck again, keep focusing. Get to the door. Duck. Open the door. Punch. Step outside. Block. Run backwards. Duck. Throw a punch
Sapnap is thrown through the air, landing with a scream on the ground. Snow melts around him, and he lets out a gasp of pain. There’s blood underneath him, staining the snow red. It’s pretty, almost.
Sapnap can see Phil and Techno fight Dream, out of the corners of his eyes. Eret and Bad run into the house, carrying out Ranboo, Tommy and George. They’re safe. Everyone is safe now. Sapnap did good.
“Stay awake Sap.” Karl says, and Sapnap forces his eyes open - when did they close - to see his fiancee’s. Quackity cradles his head in his lap, and Karl fumbles with his pockets. “Keep your eyes open, yeah, that’s good. Keep it up.”
Sapnap groans as Karl pours a healing potion directly onto his torso. It wont help much, there’s something in his back, but he can’t speak. It hurts too much.
“Open your eyes.” Quackity says, and Sapnap feels warm fingers on his cheek. “Open your eyes. BAD! BAD SAPNAP’S-”
----
Sam watches out the window of his room as birds flit around tree branches. Ponk had left the room half an hour ago, just after he served breakfast. Ponk hadn’t said much, simply kissing Sam’s forehead and telling him to relax.
Sam can’t relax. He shouldn’t be allowed to, pneumonia or not. Not while Puffy suffers, while Tommy suffers. 
“Hey Dad.” Quackity’s voice doesn’t surprise Sam, who sees his son every morning.
“Hey duckling.” Sam smiles. “How are you this morning?”
“Good. Sapnap and George are in a bad shape though. Bad kicked me out of their rooms.” Quackity laughs wetly, tears in his eyes. 
“I’m sorry to hear that.” Sam says, opening his arms out for Quackity. The man smiles, but shakes his head, wiping away tears. 
“There’s something you need to see.” Quackity says, and apparently thats a cue for something, because Jack opens the door to his room.
Niki wheels Puffy into the room, the woman sitting on a wheelchair, her hair falling down over her shoulders. She’s still got a bandage on her head, but there is colour in her cheeks and a knowing smile on her face.
“Puffy.” Sam gasps, happy to see his friend better, if not up and running. Sam tries to stand, to give Puffy a hug, but Quackity just pushes him back into his bed.
“If you’re that happy to see me, you’ll need someone to hold you back with who Foolish has.” Puffy jokes, though her voice is hoarse.
Foolish walks into the room, gently holding a wiggling Tommy. Sam gasps, and true to Puffy’s prediction, it takes Quackity and Jack to stop Sam from getting out of his hospital bed. Foolish passes Tommy to Sam, and the man holds onto Tommy gently, still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he’s here. He’s safe, finally.
“How-”
“We’ll explain later.” Quackity says. “Just relax for now. Everyone is safe.”

Since people often seem to think that Tommy’s and Dream’s dynamic is something that was established in season 2 and sorta came out of nowhere before that, I thought I’d finally take a look at the evolution of it throughout season 1. 
From here on out, of course, I’ll be talking exclusively about the characters. It is also to be kept in mind that season 1 was a LOT less scripted, so there may be streams and moments that I leave out as they don’t seem to be too impactful or they lack canonicity. So sadly the whole stream where they build Church Prime that has Dream comparing himself to God for 2 hours has to go...
 This will undoubtedly be an EXTREMELY long one, so be prepared for it...
Let’s go step by step in chronological order, shall we? 
THE DISCS WAR PREQUEL
By now a lot of people know that the Disc Saga wasn’t actually started by Tommy, but here’s a refresher anyway: Ponk started it off by pranking Sapnap’s base, in retaliation Sapnap burned down Ponk’s lemon tree. With this Ponk allied himself with Alyssa and the two started a war against Sapnap. 
Later Tommy joins the server. Tommy obtains the first netherite cheestplate in the server and it’s promptly stolen by Sapnap. Later again Sapnap uses the netherite chestplate to blackmail Tommy into joining his fight against Ponk and Alyssa. Tommy just refuses ang gets his armour back, but he considers Sapnap’s offer because of: Alyssa setting him on fire and Tubbo (who was mostly neutral but leaning towards Ponk and Alyssa) had made him loose his stuff the day before.
Dream arrived then to stop the fighting, but Sapnap and Tommy decided to kill him instead (non-canonically of course). Sapnap killed him twice and Tommy once. In retaliation Dream stole Cat and Mellohi. Sapnap stole one of the disks back and then they retrived the other one and Tommy hid them near his base.
So what does this tell us? Tommy most definitely wasn’t the one who instigated the conflict, nor the one who escalated it. YET, he was the only one Dream focused on. And remember, while a proper coherent storyline didn’t exist back then we know that the wars were at least somewhat scripted (thanks to cc!Dream telling us so on the Eboys Podcast). They also kept their characters characterization pretty consistent throughtout, which means we had the first hints of their dynamic all the way back here.
ESCALATION OF THE DISC WAR
(From Tommy’s main channel it’s: “Dream is a Psychopath.”)
Everything could have been over then, but Dream was still pissed he lost, so he removed all the floring of Tommy’s base (escavating all the dirt from in front of it) in order to find the disks and take them back. At this point, after once again stealing the disks, Dream asked Tommy for his netherite chestplate (again, only one on the server at the time) in exchange for them. Also, an actual conversation they had: 
Tommy: “Dream! Was this you that destroyed my entire base and re-named the sign to ‘BitchBoy enterprise?!” 
Dream: “I didn’t touch the sign. I didn’t destroy your base either it’s just the f- the dirt” (note: as I said before, all the dirt was removed, but, hey, he didn’t touch the chickens and the carrot farm!)
Also:
Tommy:“Dream, you removed the ENTIRE floor of my base” 
Dream: “It’s YOUR fault. It’s your fault...” 
T: “How is it MY fault?!” 
D: “‘Cause you hid the disks!” 
T: “Yeah, because they’re MY disks!” 
D: “You hid the disks and I’ve taken them back, okay?”
If this doesn’t sound like the beginning of the Obsession Arc, I don’t know what does! 
But, in all seriousness, even back then for c!Dream the key of everything in the server was Tommy, though at the time he was just “the reason for conflict”. Still it’s pretty obvious that the disk conflict could have ended before it started if Dream didn’t decide to escalate things (though, as it’s obvious by the conversation, he blames his own actions on Tommy as we see him do in later seasons).
Anyone wondering about the gravity of Tommy killing Dream once non-canonically before this: In this video Dream kills both Tommy and Tubbo twice in the first 10 minutes. Yeah, he’s not any better. Btw, this is the video with the fight they then mimicked in the finale and they actually loose this one as well. 
Tommy: “What is your obsession with this disks? Why don’t you just give them back?” 
Dream: “No because I can get something in return for them, I don’t care about the disks”
Oh what simpler times when blackmail was just simple old blackmail to obtain material possessions... 
Btw, this one ended with basically a double scam where Dream gave them fake disks and they logged off with both the fake disks and the netherite chestplate.
(Main channel: “mission: kill dream (FINALE)”)
Tubbo: “Please do not tell me you have sentimental attachment to the bullshit disks...”
Early theme of attachment back in season 1. Either way Tommy has been portrayed as an extremely sentimental character that develops attachments scarily fast from all the way back in season 1. C!Dream’s idea of him he expresses in the finale isn’t born from nothing.
Anyway, Tubbo and Tommy use the composter glitch to find Dream’s base to try and get back the disks, but they aren’t there, so they end up going for the original exchange, this time with no scamming included. Tommy get’s his disks back, while Dream gets Tommy’s netherite chestplate. Just to point out: at this point Dream was the one completely at fault. Tommy was dragged into a war he wasn’t involved in and yet was the sole one to be punished for it and Dream couldn’t just accept a defeat so heavily griefed Tommy’s base and stole back HIS posssession. Dream is the main instigator here, yet he blames it ENTIRELY on Tommy from the start. Literally their dynamic started off pretty f*cked. 
Still, since Tommy didn’t want to keep risking loosing stuff to Dream for the disks he decided to make an ender chest for himself. He gets some blaze powder and ender pearls from Punz in exchange from an apple (that was too sweet not to include) and then, when it comes to getting the obsidian is when Dream realizes what he’s been doing. You’d think he’d be fine with it considering they already had a “fair” exchange (aka Dream’s blackmailing had been succesful), but nope. He hunts down both Tommy and Tubbo, but fails in killing them and they manage to put the disks away safely.
L’MANBURG BEGINNING
As we know Wilbur founded L’Manburg and Dream did not like that, so he declared war on them. Here’s the speach: 
“Tommy! (pause) And Wilbur and the rest of L’ManChildburg, we are at war. There is no mercy. We’ve burnt down Tubbo’s house. We’ve planted tnt cannons around your land. We have cobblestone walled the outside and we shot ONE warning shot inside your walls ans an explosion and we have NO MERCY! NO MERCY FOR YOU! Do you understand? We will come! We’ll burn down your houses, we will kill anything inside your walls and we’ll take back the land that is rightfully ours if you do not surrender. I want to see WHITE FLAGS! WHITE FLAGS OUTSIDE YOUR BASE BY TOMORROW, AT DAWN, OR YOU’RE DEAD!”
So, a couple of things to unpack here:
1) Dream first and foremost singles out Tommy who, if you all remember, was NOT the leader of L’Manburg. He was barely Wilbur’s right hand man and had only been confirmed as such recently at that point. He is not the leader and YET, in how the speach is enunciated it’s obvious that it’s directed at him specifically.
2) For anyone wondering if Dream could be considered a villain back in season one: so far the people from L’Manburg had done nothing but frolic in the flowers. They were a group of pacifists that refused to use any armour and Dream’s reaction to them is to kill them all and burn anything they built. And he’s doing all this because he thinks he’s entitled to all of the land in the smp and even something as small as og L’Manburg had no right to exist free of his rule.
(Always from the main channel: “Doomsday.”)
Two important things for their relationship happen here: Dream deciding, out of everyone, to kill Tommy specifically in the final control room and the duel (or more so the result of the duel). 
It is something back then no-one wondered about, but why would Dream, the leader of the Greater Dream SMP, go after the second in command instead of the leader? Possibly for the same reason he singled out Tommy in the declaration of war? Possible foreshadowing of their future dynamic?
Also, may I mention that Dream was the one to add the condition that, on top of not getting independence for L’Manburg, Tommy had to give up one of the disks (mellohi) if he lost? And Dream being the one to mention it is the reason why Tommy knew they were valuable to him in the first place. It’s the reason why Tommy proposed the deal of his disks for L’Manburg independence (which worked, which tells us a whole lot about when Dream’s obsession withe the disks started. Man was willing to take an L to have THAT sort of control over Tommy already in season one)
POGTOPIA
Jump to when Tommy and Wilbur get exiled. A lot happens here, but, for the function of this analysis, I’ll only be talking about what pertains to Dream’s and Tommy’s relationship. 
So, at the beginning of exile Dream offers his support for Pogtopia leaving a chest specifically for Tommy (once again, not Wilbur, the leader, but Tommy. He also gives Tommy a lot more stuff then Techno who was arguably a much more valuable asset). In the chest there was: a full set of netherite armour, 3 stacks of ender pearls, an enchanment table, a netherite sword, Dream’s crossbow (”Definitely not penis”), a stack of golde apples, 1 enchanted golden apple, 1 stack of diamonds, 17 obsidian, 3 potions of strenght, a stack of steak and a book written by Dream called “Tyrant” which, again, is addressed soley to Tommy. (In the book he basically says that he doesn’t like Schlatt and that he’s only going to help from the shadows because he can’t directly involve himself). 
Now, for the standards of the time, that was A LOT of stuff. Dream clearly wasn’t half-assing his support to Tommy there (I’d say to “Pogtopia” but, again, it was all specifically for Tommy). He keeps up his help when he intervenes in favour of Tommy in the Battle of the Lake (from the vods channel: “TommyInnit, Dream & Technoblade TEAM UP (dream smp war)”). Before that however he also helps Tommy to lava cast (or attempt to) the Eiffel Tower (built for Karl’s and Sapnap’s honeymoon). For this battle Dream also gives Mars (Sapnap’s and George’s fish) to Tommy (together with quite a few more ender pearls). Their relationship up until this point seems to have improved quite a bit with Tommy immediately trusting Dream again (he seems to be always inclined to trust Dream much in the same way he’s always inclined to trust Wilbur) and Dream seemingly being supportive (although that was actually because he needed both Manburg and Pogtopia to disappear as we discovered later on). 
Fast forward again we have the moment when their relationship sours again: Dream provides Wilbur with the tnt. With this momement we have the confirmation that Dream truly was only siding with them for his own self-interest (as he always considered L’Manburg as his own propriety, independence or not, and he wasn’t happy with Schlatt wanting to expand and being morw ambitious then Wilbur ever was) and Tommy also looses part of his trust in him, though not completely. 
You see, their relationship is a bit more complex then that. In season 1 even when Tommy and Dream were enemies there was never really much bad blood between them. And when I say this I mean that Dream in particular didn’t let there be much bad blood between them, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
After Quackity joins Pogtopia they try to make a plan to get L’Manburg back that would not include blowing it up. After that fails (from the vods channel: “Dream BETRAYS TommyInnit during the Dream SMP Meeting...”) and Fundy joins Pogtopia as well Dream announces that Schlatt gave him something “more valuable then frienship” and he’s now siding with him and leaves the Pogtopians announcing that there is a traitor among them. 
Wilbur: “Dream just wants to be on the side of the rebellion and now that we are the dominant force technically... isn’t that right Dream? Would you say you just want to be on the other side? You just want to be on the other team?” 
Dream: “No I- I don’t think so...” 
Tommy: “Dream’s the good guy Wilbur” 
D: “I think I’d say that my interest is in myself”
So, despite everything, Up to this point Tommy still trusted Dream. Fully trusted him. But now, soon after this conversation, Dream explicitely tells them that he never considered them “friends” they were “convenient allies” for him (a mindset that he carries on later on and brings to an extreme). 
Now you’d think that was the breaking point right? I mean the whole vod was also titled “Dream betrays Tommy” and Dream just left them telling Tommy specifically that no, they were not friends (though Tommy didn’t agree on that point, much like with Techno later on). But that’s not were Dream leaves it. 
First he allows Tommy back in his old base to get some stuff once they’re alone (despite having just said in front of Wilbur, Quackity and Fundy that he’d stab him if he tried going back)
Tommy: “I just don’t understand, why would you team with Schlatt?”
Dream: “Tommy... I’m a business man, you know what that’s like”
T: “No I don’t”
D: “Well you do, of course you do”
God since exile that damn soft condescending tone he does hits me so different... anyway. As you see as soon as he’s alone with Tommy he starts being more friendly, less formal. He also takes on a more menacing persona (I really don’t know how he manages to do both at the same time... no wait, exile. He acts more like how he did in exile). Anyway the switch is actually pretty interesting to see. 
Tommy: “Why would you not team with us?”
Dream: “Tommy... I’ve never been on your team. I have never been on your team, ever!” 
T: “Well I’ve been in your team...”
D: “Wel I- I’m not saying you have. I’ve never been on your team. I’ve never been on anyone’s team” 
And with this we are done with their important interactions for this stream, but wait! They have a war in a few days, right? Well, Dream makes sure to spend that time with Tommy. Like, a lot of it. 
All of “Dream bullies TommyInnit for having low viewers.” Is Dream following Tommy ominously around while mildly inconveniencing and somewhat helping when they’re supposed to be enemies (it’s literally one of my favourite vods, it’s great! It was also the one vod that sparked the “Dream is obsessed with Tommy” theory in me. Yes I’ve had it from all the way back then, but I also was right, so...). 
Tommy: “Okay, so you know how we’re going to war in 7 days time?”
Dream: “Yes”
T: “like, ME and YOU are going to war...”
D: “Yes”
T: “Yes, yeah so I need to- I- it feels very strange to be- I need to prepare for THAT”
D: “Well, what do you need?”
Dream then proceeds to half-help him half-stop him from getting gold in the nether. The whole vod is like this. It definitely has a very weird atmosphere as it’s clear that both of them are fully aware of their respective roles in their upcoming war, but Tommy doesn’t know what to do and Dream is clearly willingly ignoring it all. It’s pretty jarring to watch tbh (together with being a hilarious vod to watch) and it helps starting to paint the picture of Dream having the level of dependence on Tommy that we know he has now.
Then there is “TommyInnit, Dream & Sapnap's PET WAR FINALE” which is LITERALLY THE DAY BEFORE THE WAR. Here Dream, once again, decides to spend the whole time with Tommy. He helps him against Sapnap (who is Dream’s ally) and even decides to lead Tommy to Sapnap’s and Punz’s secret base where they keep their animals and starts encoraging him to kill them. Tommy, of course, refuses and the whole pet war finishes with Sapnap and Tommy releasing Mars and promising to be friends once the war was over. 
Like, honestly, if anyone in Pogtopia had known about this interactions maybe they could have suspected Tommy of being the traitor for legitimate reasons instead of misinterpreting him entirely as a person and thinking he just wanted to be president... and you’d think that, maybe, THAT was Dream’s goal, but... not really? He always made sure to spend time with Tommy when there was no-one from Pogtopia around. In all 3 of this vods he is drastically different when they’re alone and, I mean, he stopped hidining how he is with Tommy only during Doomsday (when he gave his speach on the obsidian grid to Tommy, not caring that Tubbo and Quackity were both there).
To finish it off, we know that season 1 ends with Dream fighting alongside Technoblade and nothing else of significant happens for their relationship. Still, I hope this was comprehensive enough to show that, most definitely, his obsession with Tommy and the having power over Tommy is not a new concept for Dream. It’s something that got worse with time, but it’s most definitely not something new. The main thing that changed throughout season 1 and 2 was Tommy’s perception of Dream (which went from easy trust and friendship to hatred and fear), not vice versa.
Also may I add that Dream's constantly acting friendly when they most definitely aren't is probably one of the reasons why Tommy was so predisposed to accepting Dream as his friend in exile? Just a thought...

Forgive me if there’s already a bunch of intelligent theories about this that I simply haven’t seen, but what the fuck was up with Tommy getting trapped in prison?
One possibility is that Dream wasn’t involved at all, but nah—he wasn’t nearly surprised enough, and the timing + Ranboo’s enderwalk triggering at the end of Sapnap’s visit was all way too convenient. So I’ll proceed on the presumption that, with Ranboo’s help, Dream was the one to engineer the TNT security breach, with the goal of trapping Tommy with him for a week as per the protocol he wrote.
A side note: We can perhaps also presume that Dream’s original escape plan got ruined when Sam cut off Ranboo’s visits. This would match with Dream starting to “act out”—his silence strike with Sapnap and his escape attempt with the lectern. So was the TNT plan—whatever it is—part of an original plan, a backup plan, or a pure improvisation?
My question is, what on earth was Dream planning to accomplish?
Options:
A. Wanted to torment Tommy for a week. We can eliminate this one.
Sure, he was lonely; sure, he gets a sense of power from Tommy’s fear of him. But he also gets fucking annoyed by Tommy in those streams. And if he really wanted company, I find it very hard to believe that he’d choose the volatile guy who’s killed him twice, who has pretty good reason to be violent and hostile towards him. Unnecessarily risky.
Not to mention that Dream isn’t one to seek out company because he’s ~lonely. If there’s one thing his choice of prison taught us, it’s that he does NOT prioritize his own comfort.
B. Wanted to kill Tommy and revive him, either to experiment with the revival book/learn about limbo, or to prove its legitimacy to the server. This one doesn’t make any sense either.
Dream has had the book for a long time! If he wanted to experiment with it, he could have. If he wanted to prove its power in front of the entire server, he could have easily done that at the disk finale, with Tubbo or with Tommy.
Dream says in the stream where he revives Tommy that he won’t kill Tommy again because there would be consequences from Sam (“he’ll cut off my visitors, he’ll feed me less, he’ll do all these things..”) So he’s aware that killing Tommy the first time while Sam has absolute power over him was already, frankly, a very risky thing to do—he’d need a very good reason to do it again. Why would he plan to do this?
Why wait a week? Dream wrote the security protocols, which stated that a potential breach would lead to a lockdown of one week. Sam breaches this protocol by leaving Tommy in there for longer than one week. It is only AFTER Sam’s announcement that a week has already passed that things really break down in the cell, and it is only AFTER that Dream kills Tommy. Dream had no way to know that Sam wouldn’t follow the prison rules, and no way to know when the week would be up—so why wait so long? if he’d planned to kill Tommy from the beginning, why on earth would he wait until after his presumed window of opportunity had passed?
C. Wanted to talk to Tommy to either get intel from him or plant an idea. Dunno what. Seems unlikely. Dream floats the ideas of him ~changing~ or the two of them escaping together, but neither seems particularly sincere. Once Tommy’s dead and back, Dream of course wants to know about the revival book and wants Tommy to spread the word, but like I said before, that can’t have been Plan A.
D. Wanted to see how Sam would handle a security breach while there’s a visitor. Straightforward, if a bit anticlimactic.
E. It was a sincere escape attempt; the TNT exploding during a visit was meant to be a prelude to a plan that failed for some other reason. Possible, not enough info to confirm or deny.

Dream x Reader
Warnings: Angst, Wing clipping, blood, wounds.
(A/N: In this shot the Smp is real, and you are a part of SBI so yea, I had this idea and needed to try writing it, I hope you enjoy!)
(Edit: /// Stands for Wilburs name in places where i couldn't take it out without having to rewrite the entire story)
Tumblr media
Trapped
------------
When you first stumbled upon the lands of the SMP after leaving your home and met Dream, George and Sapnap, you never expected it to end like this. You were a Bird Hybrid and with that came the need to fly around and explore, so you never tended to stay in one place for to long.
That all came to an end when you met them though, you became friends fast and helped them build up the land they were living on, in that time you became even closer to Dream and you two were never seen without the other, so you never felt the need to go and explore anymore, now that of course didn't mean you stopped flying, in fact you tended to use your wings a lot, you were just faster when it came to bringing materials etc. So they usually had you fly out to collect wood or other materials and bring them back.
Dream was a kind and funny man, you loved spending time with him in any way possible, but his demeanor slowly started to change, as more people joined the once peaceful land. You had seen the many wars fought over your younger brother's Disks, you had fought with Dream and the rest against L'manburg's independence.
You were there when Schlatt took over and banished Tommy. And over all of these events Dream became a cold person, the smile on his mask rarely fit his actual expression, and you felt like the vibrant green eyes that you once loved to look into were slowly getting more dull. In the end Dream wasn't the same anymore, everyone could see that, but even after all the wars you stayed. You knew what it felt like to be alone, and you never wanted anyone to endure the same pain you had to.
By now you had come to regret your decision to stay with Dream because in the following months his actions towards you spoke more than his words, he didn't allow you to fly and even if your wings were aching to fly again you didn't want to go against his words because you knew what would happen, the last time you had disobeyed his rule he clipped your wings, so they were useless for the next month's, so you stayed on the ground and became his obedient little pet.
Tumblr media
Dream adored the power he had over you, and it drove him to even more drastic measures, if he even saw you near anyone who was against him, he would punish you, so you had stopped all contact to your family which both angered and saddened them. Your demeanor started to change as well, instead of the bubbly and easily excitable teen you became tired and unresponsive.
Even though you were scared of Dream clipping your wings again you had no other choice than to fly over, you had heard that your Father had killed /// by his request. You were mad at Phil of course you were but after seeing how destroyed Phil was you couldn't be Angry anymore, you spend some time with your Father mourning the loss of your brother.
When you came back though you knew there would be hell to pay. You never told Phil or anyone for that matter that dream had clipped your wings because you knew that he would try to take you back, but you didn't want any harm to come to him. When you eventually made your way back Dream was already waiting for you with a nasty scowl on his face, before you even had the chance to properly land and tuck your wings in Dream had already grabbed your wing, his fingers digging into the fluffy feathers without a care in the world.
"What have I told you about flying!? And where were you!!" You let out a whimper and tried desperately to pry his hands of your wings. "Y-your hurting me!" He only let out a low laugh and dragged you with him, mumbling something about making you pay, and you never leaving him again. You already knew what he was about to do.
You had been dragged into the house and Dream got to work, you were struggling against his hold desperate to keep your ability to fly and not be stuck on the ground. In the end all of your struggling didn't help, and he ended up cutting way to far, blood was dripping from your wings, you were sitting there crying because of the pain and because you were sure that you would never fly again after this.
Tumblr media
You tried patching up the wounds as best as you could with the limited supply's you had. After having patched the wounds up you slowly made your way to your room and let yourself fall onto your bed crying because you wanted to leave but couldn't because Dream would surely find you and drag you back.
By now 1 year and a half had passed since you stopped writing your father Phil, and he was worried, he knew that you were still with Dream, and he also knew that he was a bad influence, every time he thought about the things Dream did for power he wanted to throw up, he had already lost one child because of this maniac he was not about to lose another, so he made the long journey to where you were located.
This was the first time he saw you after the events of ///'s death, and he was shocked, your eyes were dull, and you didn't look like you anymore, after your eyes landed on your father they widened with fear, you made your way to him and shoved him behind a building, you leaned forward to look if Dream saw anything because he was walking across the area.
"What are you doing here!?" Your eyes were full of fear for your own life and your fathers. Phil looked at you worried and put a hand on your cheek rubbing his thumb over a cut. "I'm here to check up on you, what happened?" His voice was full of worry, and he had to hold himself back from dragging you home. 
You closed your eyes and leaned into Phil's touch sighing you shook your head. "I'm fine, you don't need to check up on me" you smiled at him though the smile was fake and anyone could see that. You flinched when you heard Dream calling for you "dad you need to leave... now!"
You pushed away from him and turned around to go to Dream, you flinched yet again when you heard a horror filled gasp from behind you. You quietly cursed, you knew you should have taken the cloak with you. Now your messed up wings were on full display.
After Dream had yet again clipped them the feathers never grew back correctly and there were still nasty scars across the end of your wings, because of this you had lost the ability to fly and there was never one day were you didn't wish to soar through the sky's yet again, but you knew that would never be possible again.
"What happened to your wings!?" You knew lying to Phil wouldn't work, so you just stuck to the truth, "Dream... He clipped them after i came back from comforting you about ///..." You bit your lip trying to hold back the tears. You shook your head and turned to Phil again who was still shocked by your wings, "you need to leave Dream is looking for me and if he finds you... I-i don't even want to imagine what he'd do…"
He shook his head taking your hand "I'm not leaving without you! I already lost /// because of him, I'm not loosing you too!" You just shoved him again "i-i'll be fine! Just leave I'll try to write!" You sounded desperate for Phil to leave, so he did, but not without promising to get you back. You watched as he quickly made his way and sighed in relief.
Tumblr media
After you made sure that Phil was gone you came out behind the building. "You called Dream?" You were trying to act as nice as possible because you didn't want to anger him. He turned around to look at you and smiled, but it was a menacing smile "where were you?"
You try to keep as calm as possible knowing that one wrong word could cost you your wings, "i was just walking around, looking around the area." You smiled at him but in reality you wanted to scream, cry and hit him for what he had done to you, but you also knew that you had to wait, you would get your revenge..... Eventually.
Your days after seeing Phil pretty much consisted of the same things, wake up, tend to the scars on your wings, get dressed and do everything Dream asked of you, you did manage to write a few letters to Phil here and there to let him know how you were doing and that Dream hadn't killed you in pure rage.
You knew that tending to the scars on your wings was useless the scars to many to actually get feather's to grow back on the scarred mess that was your wings but you had hope, it was of course a futile hope but it was the only thing keeping you sane while under Dream's Thumb.
In the next few months contact to Phil became less and less because Dream was keeping a close watch on you, but to keep your father from coming back and possibly endangering himself you wrote a letter to him with coordinates and telling him to meet you where the coordinates led him.
That same night you snuck out after you made sure Dream was dead asleep, sneaking out was easier said then done of course because Dream made sure to lock the doors and windows so you had to get creative, you knew there was a covered up celler under the House because Dream stored his chests there but the trapdoor to said celler was always locked and only Dream had the key.
Tumblr media
You did manage to actually get your hands on the key, almost waking him up in the process so you made your way to the trapdoor opening it and putting the key back as to not make him suspicious should he wake up sooner than expected. You climbed down the ladder and looked around for the hidden way out you had made a few months back. When you found the way you slowly started to crawl out of the hole coming out a short ways behind the hut you had been living in the past year.
After making sure you were far enough away you took out the 16 ender pearls you had managed to nab from Dream, you threw the perl and got teleported, shaking your head to remove the dizziness you continued on your way. You could already see Phil in the clearing you had marked as your meeting spot so you ran the rest of the way practically throwing yourself at Phil who almost fell over because of the force, he did manage to steady himself before enveloping you in a big hug.
You nuzzled your head into the crook of his neck like you used to do when you were a kid and his comforting presents brought Tears to your eyes, Phil hugged you tighter not wanting to let go and closed his eyes happy to have you in his arms again after constantly fretting for your safety while with Dream.
After you stopped hugging Phil looked you up and down for any wounds you may have obtained while he hadn't seen you and fretted over every little scratch you had, in the end you calmed him down saying that everything was fine and Dream hadn't touched you, you ended up talking for a while him asking if you had already come up with a plan to get away from dream which you hadn't yet. You tried coming up with a Plan together which wasn't easy but in the end you decided that you would pack your essentials quietly over the span of the next few days and slip out like you had done today.
Tumblr media
With that done you knew it was time to leave if you wanted to be back before Dream woke up, your father hugged you again telling you to be careful and that he would wait for you in this exact spot, with one last goodbye you made your way back teleporting with the help of the ender perls to be faster, you crawled back through the hole and quietly made your way up the ladder swinging the trapdoor open trying to make as little noise as possible. You looked around and to your relief Dream was still sleeping so you took the key and locked the trapdoor again before crawling back into your bed and falling asleep.
In the morning you did what you had been doing for the last year, while also slowly but surely packing your things. By the end of the week you had all of your necessity's together and planed your escape, in the night when Dream was asleep you made your way over to were Dreams bed was located and grabbed the key quietly opening the Trapdoor and slipping down with your bag, you were almost at the hole when you heard a voice behind you that made you stiffen up. "And where do you think you're going?" You could hear the grin in Dream's voice and it scared you, you turned around and faced the man that had made your life miserable. "I'm leaving... I'm done with being treated like a pet!"
You tried standing tall to show that you weren't scared of him, but your voice betrayed you. He chuckled and pulled out his axe the material glinting in the light of the torches. You were terrified you knew Dream was an incredible fighter and you also knew that you wouldn't stand a chance against him if it came to it so you did the only sensible thing and scrambled to get out of your escape hole. Dream let out a loud laugh following you while trying to grab you, you thanked the gods that you still had the ender pearls because you managed to get farther away thanks to them but Dream was catching up and you knew you would have to fight him eventually.
In the end dream had you cornerd, you were standing with your back against a tree holding your sword in front of you and Dream was cackling, "Do you really think you can just escape me? I made you who you are without me you are nothing!" You closed your eyes and tried not to listen to his manipulating words, "NO! Im more than you make me out to be! I should have just left you when the others did because you are a heartless psychopath!"
He just laughed at you and brandished his axe "You aren't strong enough to beat me i will forever own you!" You shook your head "NO! I AM MORE THAN YOU MAKE OF ME! I AM DONE WITH BEING MANIPULATED, YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME WHO I AM I AM MY OWN PERSON! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME AND NOW IM GOING TO REPAY THAT FAVOR!" you were beyond angry now but you also knew that you couldn't hold your own against Dream at least not for long, you winced when he attacked you just barely managing to block the hit. As time went on you could feel yourself getting weaker but you weren't ready to give up.
You tried retaliating but that only ended with you having a big gash along your arm. As he continued to throw hit after hit at you, you desperately doging and parrying every each one, you could feel your arms starting to give out and you closed your eyes accepting your fate, when no hit came you opened your eyes to see Technoblade and Phil standing in front of you, Techno parrying Dream's axe and Phil hiding you behind him with his wings while giving him the nastyest glare you had ever seen come from your father.
Dream cackled after seeing both of them and continued to fight, but you knew he had no chance against the Blood God and so did he because after a while of Parrying and attacking Techno and reserving slashes he stepped away leaving, but before he was out of view he turned back to you looking you strait in the eyes. "You aren't safe, i will come back and end you!" He laughed like a mad man while he vanished. Once he was gone Phil turned to you and leand down to check for any serious injury's, you sent Techno a thankful smile and he gave you a smal one in return.
Tumblr media
In the end both Techno and Phil brought you home were your father got to work on patching up your wounds while Techno took care of the food.
In the end you were laying in your room staring at the ceiling while thinking about everything that happened. You were happy that you got away from him when you did, yes you lost the ability to fly but you also knew that flying wasn't everything. You were glad to be safe with Phil and Techno and you knew that they would give everything to keep you safe, with that though in your mind you fell asleep happy to wake up with your family and not with the tyrant you had been living with.
(A/N: I am finally done!!! I have been sitting on this exact oneshot for a month and I was not sure what to do with it but thanks to my beloved @watermelon-sugar-writes who gave me ideas and made me want to continue writing this. So you should thank her! Anyways this is my first try at angst (even tho it's not really angsty) and i am very very proud of it. So have fun reading it!)

merry christmas, loser
dream x reader
smp au
fluffiest fluff
warning - none
word count - 1k
a/n: hi! thank you so much for enjoying my other imagine!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“sapnap! behave!” you yell as the boy pushes george around while running away with the christmas lights you were currently hanging up. as the boys run further away from the large tree, the lights you were holding pull you along in the direction they were running in, knocking you onto the floor with a large thump. george gasps at the sight of you on the floor , “it was sapnap!” he immediately denies. “no it was george!” sapnap intervenes. a large hand reaches down to help you up. “you alright y/n?” you nod your head, “thank you wilbur. i am doing just fine.” you say while staring at the two troublesome boys. “didn’t i tell you to behave.” a visible gulp could be seen in the throats of the two boys as they run away to finish the task you assigned them. “y/n!” you turn your head around to meet the excited faces of puffy and niki. “we’re here to take you off of light duty.” you continue stringing the lights before getting them snatched out of your hands, “effective immediately!”
“what am i supposed to do then?’ you ask her, confused. “bad was looking for you. said something about his plans for secret santa.” you glance at the clock hanging in the community house before turning towards the pathway down to bad’s secret bunker.
“bad? i heard you were looking for me?” as you walk around the dimly lit area, a figure could be spotted in the distance. “over here!” he shouts. as you near him, he quickly pulls you down, trying to discrete. “i got what you needed.” he whispers before handing you a covered up package. “thank you bad.” you reply while staring at your dear friend. “well, i was released off of lights duty, do you need any help? any errands?”you ask, “uh actually, i could use some help with tommy.” the both of you walk out of the room and into the sunny vast lands. “dream needs to talk to me about something later so can you deliver this gift to tommy?” he hands you a neatly wrapped present, “of course bad, i also have to visit tommy and techno anyways.”
while you get into the nether porter for the long walk, you bump into ponk and ranboo. they spot you in the distance, “y/n!” you turn to face them and give them a wave before they enderpearl over to you. “where you going y/n? the party is starting soon.” ponk asks, “just delivering something. but i’ll be back for the party.” the boys nod and walk back over to the portal as you exit through the other portal.
as you continue to walk a bit, you finally spot the house of the three boys. “techno!” you quietly yell as the man turns towards you. “hello y/n.” he replies in his regular monotone voice. you pull out your gift for him before holding it out towards him, “here. merry christmas techno.” he stares at the gift for a couple seconds before grabbing it and mumbling a thanks. “y/n! y/n! you’re here?!” tommy yells, “yes child. bad had a gift for you.” you say as you pull out the neatly wrapped gift. tommy rips the gift out of your grasp and shreds the paper to pieces. “a netherite pickaxe?! nice!” he shouts before you pull out your gift for him. tommy gently grabs the present from your hands and opens it slowly, in comparison to bbh’s. a small gasp leaves his lips as he sort of tears up while staring at his music disks, “thank you y/n.” he replies in a small yet serious voice. a smile lights up on your face, “merry christmas, tommy.”
as you enter the community home, where the party was being held, everyone wishes you a merry christmas, holding their glasses of eggnog. karl and quackity quickly make their way over to you, “y/n.” you hum in acknowledgement from your previous conversation with eret, “dream wants to see you at the eiffel tower.” you answer with an “okay.” and start your descent towards the tower with dream’s gift in hand.
“dream?” your quiet voice barely makes it across the quiet land. “y/n, you made it.” dream says as he jumps down from his previous spot. “its not like i would ignore the most powerful person on this whole server.” he chuckles before pulling you into a hug, “i missed you.” it was your turn to chuckle, “we saw each other an hour ago.” dream whines, “yeah, that’s a long time ago.” when the hug releases, he plays with his hands nervously, “y/n. you know i love you right?” you nod as you continue to stare at the boy, “i know you didn’t want anything but, i couldn’t help myself.” he finishes as he pulls out a small, poorly wrapped box. he hands it to you and you carefully unwrap the box to find a heart shaped pendant with your initials along with dream’s on it. “i-i didn’t know if you’d like it so i asked puffy and niki.” he says while carefully observing your reaction, “i love it.” you reassure, “oh, i have something for you too. it may be a little self centered but here,” you hand him your neat present and he opens it with the same care you did. when he opens the box, he finds a compass, “i know you care deeply about everyone so this compass directs you towards any person you think of.” you explain while he stares at the compass which was currently pointing towards you. he stands in complete silence before you open your arms. you bury your face into his chest as he pulls you closer. “thank you, y/n. god, i love you so much.”
“i love you too.”
before he replies he pulls out a candy cane, hooking it onto the sleeve of your sweater, “i’m hooked to you.”
you roll your eyes as he pulls out a mistletoe, “merry christmas pipsqueak.” dream pulls you towards him, attaching him lips to yours. as you pull away, you give a small smirk, “merry christmas, loser.”

Theater Kids time!
-Tommy and Tubbo with the Disk Feud at first was nothing major. Tommy just brought in some Vinyls he wanted to show. Dream thought it was a prop and put it in Storage, much to Tommy's and Tubbo's grief.
-Tommy confronted Dream about it during a rehearsal and everyone just rolled with it. It got intense and everyone had fun.
-Afterwards Dream found the Vinyls and gave it back to Tommy, though he did say that the Disk War was smart and that they can probably make a plot out of it.
-Nothing too major though! Because this is just a normal play that definitely won't escalate within time. It definitely won't become a saga that will get attention from the school and from other theater groups as well as millions of other people! Not at all! :)
-Alyssa was part of the Theater Kids group but had to leave to pursue her own interests. She visits them sometimes and gives some pointers.
-There are nods from previous plays in the SMP, examples include Schlatt's association with Golden Apples and Technoblade's Arctic Empire. Sometimes there are cameos of other actors, this would include Wisp, Slimecicle, and Orelli (The guy who always defies Wilbur in his Minecraft building/surviving videos).
-Maid HBomb is something that started after the crew found a maid costume. HBomb soon started wearing it during rehearsal and just started role playing as a cat maid. This caused Fundy to die a little bit on the inside.
-Tubbo recorded the whole thing.
-Fundy being Wilbur's son was something that was just a passing thought at first. Fundy soon brought it up again and it was incorporated into the SMP play.
-The Pet War started after Sapnap was messing around with the pet props during rehearsal and accidentally shot paper mache Fungi with a prop bow and arrow
-In fact, any pet that died in SMP canon was just caused by the group just accidentally messing up the pet props. Sapnap is now no longer allowed to go near said props.
-The scene with Tommy and the Dishwasher still happens. Fundy, George, Tubbo, and Quackity were rehearsing a scene at his house when it happened and no one could get back into the scene afterwards.
-Schlatt was the one who said that they should probably put a trailer or excerpt of the SMP on YouTube to advertise the play to the school and gain more money.
-The video did help with more tickets selling and also gained millions of views.
-Soon they had to record a performance and people really liked it, so they just continue to do that and they made a whole channel about it and everything.
-Wilbur still does cursed lore. Everyone hates it.
(Wilbur: Phil and a Samsung Smart Refrigerator are my parents in the SMP. He got on with her and I popped out.
Dream: Wilbur please god no. We already have so much cursed lore.
Quackity: You know technically I'm the writer for this arc so we don't have to listen to him.
Wilbur: Yes but I was one of the original writers for this and also am still one of the directors of it, so get L'Fucked.
Dream whispering to Quackity: Just pretend that she can shapeshift.
Quackity: That still means that Phil got funky with a refrigerator.)

dream smp character roles
This is a pretty brief breakdown of the roles that each character of the Dream SMP play as of 12/07! These roles have stayed about the same since the Manberg/Pogtopia war on November 16th.

Wilbur blew up L’Manberg and was killed by Philza, his father. He is a ghost (Ghostbur).

Quackity creates “Mexican L’Manberg.”
Tubbo is made president, with Tommy as VP and Quackity at Sexytary [Secretary] of State.

I know different interpretations of a work are generally enriching and cool... but c!dream villan interpretations is like how to tell me you only watch Tommy without saying you only watch tommy.... which would be fine but its not a great place to be making statements about the whole nature of the dsmp lol
Wild speculation, but sometimes I wonder if like, because the dsmp didn't really start as a narrative, and a lot of fans don't nessecarily enter it expecting a narrative, but then there is one and the fandom is really discourse heavy and everyone is sort of excpeted to have an opinion while maybe not expecting to form one from the begining or not having a ton of experience with narrative in a way that would "expect" them to have an opinion or not take things at face value??, I don't know if I explained that well at all... and I don't really even think thats right nessecarily... but like wow sometimes some of the takes about power and government and villany...
Honestly, it makes sense!!!
I think something interesting is like.... looking at how animatics have shaped the like tone and culture of the fandom essentially. Like, an interesting fact that I didn't really fully grasp until SUPER recently is like...
c!Wilbur out the gate admits he is manipulating c!Tommy. Like his first youtube video on the Dream SMP he admits his goal is to manipulate c!Tommy and people like c!Tommy into helping him achieve a potion ("drug") empire to monopolize on potions because there were a lot of people on the server who like to min-max, which is to put all of your effort into this one specific skill essentially. so like... i know minecraft doesnt have a skill tree but if it did, it would be putting all your points into that one specific branch of a skill tree. So he wanted to exploit the labor of all the TommyInnits to.... maintain a Potion Empire.
THIS IS A LONG POST BC I GOT CARRIED AWAY SO BUCKLE UP
And I don't think a lot of the fandom who joined later on knows this. I certainly didn't until like a week or so ago? Like... I knew c!Wilbur had been manipulative from the start because I'm a mod of (shameless self promo incoming) @dsmpanalysis and we have a lot of different POVs in that mod team and discord and we talk about it really frequently. I joined the fandom as someone who was really big on L'manburg ESPECIALLY crimeboys, and have turned into.... *gestures vaguely to my blog*
And ngl I owe a lot of it to @1-michibiki-1 in terms of c!Dream "Apologism" but all of the mods there have expanded my thoughts and views on the storylines of this narrative.
My application consisted of like largely essays about like... how I think Dream was the villain but he was meant to be the villain because you don't get any insight into his character WHICH.... IS A FAIR ASSUMPTION AT FIRST GLANCE. People are easily villainized when you cannot get a glimpse into their thought process. It's easy to dwindle someone down into this flat character and starting out I knew Dream didn't stream the SMP on purpose.
And I personally came to the conclusion of "Oh! So Dream is supposed to be the villain." However as the story continued and I learned more about what Dream went through I began to realize that... it's more than likely a form of a red herring. My opinions on this were immediately solidified when I watched Ranboo's 2 MIL stream because both Ranboo AND Dream agree on enjoying red herrings.
There have been MANY times were Dream has said that c!Dream is a complex character and he's not a wholly evil guy and there have been times where the narrative has honestly just proved that.
Anyways, what's important though was that... I learned most of this from other people who were more focused on c!Dream rather than myself. Eventually I shifted from c!Tommy to c!Ranboo and c!Techno after c!Tommy betrayed c!Techno and I began to realize.... everything I learned before hopping in wasn't exactly what it seemed.
Part of this is because I'm older, I heavily identify with c!Techno's sense of loyalty and philosophies on government, but I especially identify with the anguish c!Techno voiced in... a lot of lore but especially the lore around Doomsday.
I'm not 16 anymore. I don't always feel wronged by adults, or older people in my case, whenever they absolutely have done something wrong by me, but I do feel wronged by my close friends. I also felt like c!Tommy's sense of loyalty didn't line up with mine after what felt like him constantly flip-flopping and refusing to understand c!Techno's morals on government didn't line up with his.
In short, it was easier to identify with Tommy in these animatics versus in the actual stream content because c!Tommy is played by a 16 year old. I'm not a teenager and my line of thinking doesn't entirely line up with people that age anymore. It's harder to place myself in the same shoes of someone's OC who is played closer to their actual age, because I'm not that age.
Regardless, I was still on the c!Dream is a villain train. I wasn't ever like... c!Dream is repulsive I hate him, but I was like omg hot villain lad go brrr.
Even when the first like... mellohi, panic room, Ranboo lore stream popped up I thought "Oh! c!Ranboo corruption arc?"
And I was excited because I really wanted this shy, nervous character to turn into villain buddies with his good pal c!Dream. I'm a total sucker for villains and corruption arcs and all that good shit.
SO I STARTED GETTING REALLY INTERESTED IN ENDERSMILE. I'VE BEEN ON ENDERSMILE SQUAD OUT THE GATE. NOT THE SAME WAY I AM NOW, BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THEM TO TEAM UP.
So... upon not really keeping up with c!Dream and being relatively??? indifferent? I don't think I started arguments on c!Dream back then, but I might have. But I remember like... starting to participate more whenever c!Dream came up and looking more into Dream's character BUT ESPECIALLY TALKING WITH OUR SERVER'S C!DREAM SPECIALIST MICHI ABOUT DREAM A LOT MORE.
And because Michi has been a watcher since day one and was a DTeam fan rather than a SBI fan, she was able to provide me with more information on how the server worked pre-Tommy but especially pre-Wilbur.
Now, you could definitely argue well Michi probably has clear bias but it made sense to me when I looked back on how the storyline had been constructed and was going along, and everyone in the server talks a lot about our own biases and how we want people to maybe not lean so hard on them. Michi would also provide like anecdotes on what had happened and I'm sure links were probably provided at one point but the point was I felt like Michi had no reason to lie or manipulate how the story was told and if she did, eventually someone would have pointed it out because... Group of like... right now it's around 20 or more analysts but I don't remember how many at the time there were. POINT BEING, WE'VE ALL GOT POINTS TO PROVE AND IN MY EXPERIENCE NOT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SHY TO PROVE THEM.
So if anyone ever had any differing opinions they would be talked about and we literally had and still have discussions.
REGARDLESS.... I DIDN'T FACT CHECK IN DEPTH BECAUSE I THOUGHT PEER REVIEW WAS ENOUGH WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE HOURS UPON HOURS OF STREAMS TO WATCH.
Anyways. Eventually I started paying closer attention and looking more into c!Dream lore but only recently have I started to triple check before speaking about c!Wilbur lore because I know everyone has biases and while I did trust everyone's thoughts and analysis in the discord, whenever I make essays I typically like it to be largely air tight and if theres a mistake, I want it to be because I forgot not because I just trusted what was said. Plus, I wanted to get down to the specifics of how Wilbur had always started with manipulation on the mind.
SO I WATCHED HIS FIRST VIDEO ON THE DREAM SMP.
AND WHAT I WAS NOT BY ANY MEANS EXPECTING WAS WILBUR TO SAY WORD FOR WORD, VERBATIM,
"SO WHY DON'T I START AN INDUSTRY WHERE I USE THE TOMMYINNITS OF THE WORLD TO WORK FOR ME, TO CREATE THINGS THAT THE MIN-MAXERS OF THE WORLD WILL WANT."
Like... this is in no way an attempt to like hardcore villainize c!Wilbur like everyone does Dream, it's just more so to like REALLY outline how far off a lot of fandom interpretation of c!Wilbur is....
Because of SBI focused animatics.
Now, when I joined I watched A LOT of animatics that really highlighted like... Wilbur being this self-loathing JD-esque, "I destroyed it because I had to because the world was against me because no one loved us, Tommy" type of character. At least... that's what it came across as.
And it definitely highlighted the fact that Tommy was a victim, which he is. He is undoubtedly a victim and no not even any dream apologist can change my mind otherwise. Tommy, despite being an instigator sometimes, didn't deserve the abuse he received.
But these animatics never shown the fact that c!Wilbur started L'manburg as a shady ploy to exploit people like c!Tommy and vilify c!Dream so he could have power.
And that was easy because Dream and Tommy had wars before. They had spars and pranks and here's the plan to take back my disks and here's the plan to out smart the thieving little child etc etc.
And all of the animatics I watched never mentioned this. Neither did the recaps though. The recaps gave the events flat out, there didn't sound like there was bias, and honestly I don't really know if there was rather than like... a lack of nuance. And it's hard to provide a recap with that much nuance in a short period of time for a youtube video, to be perfectly fair.
However, this creates a perfect formula for entirely rewriting the history of a server. c!Wilbur quite literally fucking succeeded TO A META LEVEL. He slandered and ran smear campaigns against Dream and like he even does that with Sapnap in the beginning. But what's crazy is that it transferred over into the meta! Most of this fandom understands Wilbur as a victim of mental illness, and yeah maybe? He definitely wasn't mentally well by the end of pogtopia, but he never started out with honorable intentions. L'manburg was never a victim, only its citizens. The TommyInnits of the world.
I just think it's like... such an interesting case study. Because this is like... an opinion like shared by at least half of the fandom, but the vilifying of c!Dream is shared by MOST of the fandom I would argue. Which is like even more crazy for me because that was c!Wilbur's goal!!!
LIKE I GO INSANE WHEN I THINK OF THIS BECAUSE HIS REACH IS JUST TOO POWERFUL. HE'S NOT EVEN ENTIRELY REAL, JUST A MANIPULATIVE PERSONA OF SOME BRITISH GUY.
And I mean... maybe people who have watched Wilbur's video on the SMP still maintain this idea that Wilbur wasn't always the bad guy, but honestly... I wouldn't be surprised if their introduction was still an animatic. Like bias is hard to check and I'm not going to lie I could have sworn I watched both Wilbur's AND Tommy's video on the SMP in the beginning and yet I STILL was a ride or die for tragic yet on some level still honorable Wilbur and a resilient Tommy.
Like... upon watching Wilbur's first video... possibly again I was surprised because I thought I did watch it like right before I even started watching the streams and yet I was still so invested in c!Wilbur as this tortured anti-hero.
It took 6 months of... not being in an echo chamber, full of multiple different people of different ages, different stream POVS, and people who joined the fandom at different points in time.
IDK IF THIS WAS EVEN ENTIRELY RELEVANT IT JUST FELT TANGENTIALLY RELEVANT AND THIS WAS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT FOR A HOT MINUTE AFTER LIKE WATCHING WILBUR'S FIRST VIDEO AGAIN.
TLDR;
SBI CENTRIC ANIMATICS HAD A LASTING AFFECT ON THIS FANDOM AS IT'S HARD TO GO BACK AND ACTUALLY CHECK THE NARRATIVE FOR SOLID FACTS FOR YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS NARRATIVE SPANS OVER HUNDREDS OF HOURS WORTH OF TWITCH STREAMS.

Thinking of cdream :(
thinking of c!dream!
warnings: prison arc, exile arc, suicide mentions, torture, angst (hurt no comfort)
thinking of pre-smp c!dream. thinking of c!dream who has just started the smp. thinking of c!dream who get annoyed c!sapnap and c!george are too busy bickering and messing around to help him build the community house. thinking of c!dream jailing and banning c!tommy when he first joins, only to unban and un-exile him because ugh, the kid’s entertaining and wheedling. thinking of c!dream beginning to extend his invitations to loads of other people :O thinking of c!dream thinking this will be his new family :D
thinking of c!dream fighting against people he’d cared about for his own land they’d taken - thinking of c!dream relinquishing hold over that land for disks that mean nothing to him. thinking of c!dream, restless and uneasy in this new, jaded land where the people don’t trust him. thinking of c!dream, who kept his distance for the majority of season one, only to pledge his loyalty to c!tommy, only to be promised a revive book and to turn on the people he wanted to help. thinking of c!dream laughing manically as the city he hated is destroyed, thinking of c!dream feeling a kindredship in c!wilbur and c!techno.
...thinking of c!dream trying to ally with new l’manburg. thinking of c!dream getting fed up with c!tommy, thinking of him beginning to taunt him, thinking of him egging him to bad behaviour and rule-breaking and ruining his chances of a lighter punishment.
(thinking of c!dream who found his best friend’s house in flames when he went to bring him flowers. thinking of c!dream who hardened his heart against the world and decided then and there that caring is not an advantage.)
thinking of c!dream who planned exile - who always knew what he would do in exile, who justified it to himself with an ‘ends justify the means’ even if that means is a child slowly losing the will to live.
thinking of a c!dream who didn’t plan exile - who started off just wanting c!tommy gone and slowly became so unstable that he fell down a hole he never intended to; a c!dream who was frightened of himself in his most lucid moments, who sometimes finds himself at the edges of mountains and at the edges of cliffs leading to lava ready to throw himself over.
thinking of c!dream at doomsday. at the disk war finale. thinking of c!dream who planned the finale, right down to his own prison sentence. thinking of c!dream who did not plan the finale, who thought he was winning until he comes face-to-face with his only ally-turned-betrayer.
thinking of c!dream in the prison that night. and the next. and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and
thinking of c!dream who is scarred and broken in every way after torture.
thinking of c!dream who isn’t scarred after torture but still is just as traumatised, because respawns heal physical damage but never the wreck of a person it’s left him emotionally.
(thinking of c!dream who loved the community house.)
(thinking of c!dream who loved spirit. who loved his friends openly. who fell in love with the world and the world that loved him back.)
thinking about c!dream spending his birthday in a torture cell.
...thinking of c!dream.

I’ll Be There When Your Reality Drowns (Ranboo x platonic!Reader)
Based very loosely off the song ‘Siren’ by Kailee Morgue. Content Warnings- character death, some weird stuff, i don’t know how to warn for it so just be careful it shouldn’t be bad though A03 link- wow. Word Count- 2,121
I said that there would be another fic. Well, enjoy! And reblogs are very much welcome as well as likes. I appreciate every like that I get, and it makes me happy when I see that people liked what I wrote.
It starts normally like always. Ranboo’s just walking aimlessly around an unknown village when he spots her. He doesn’t know why she’s always there, or why he feels an immediate pull towards her, but nonetheless it’s there. His attempts to get to her always fail and he wakes up feeling severely disappointed and depressed. 
“Hey, Ranboo, are you okay?” Tubbo asks as he gives Micheal a golden apple.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little tired. Didn’t sleep too well last night.” It’s the same reason he’s given everyone whenever they ask about his abnormal silence and slight air of sadness that follows him recently.
“Okay. If you want to talk about it I’m always here.” He offers and Ranboo nods. 
With everything else going on, these dreams are just the tip of the iceberg. How does he tell his husband that he stole Tommy’s disk, helped blow up L’Manberg, and worked with Dream to do god knows what else? Tubbo wouldn’t handle it well, not in the slightest. And there’s no reason to anger the man who currently possesses nukes. There’s no one he can tell now. 
Ranboo completes his jobs for the day and finds himself wandering around the SMP, hoping that maybe today the woman from his dreams will be here and he’ll be able to get some answers as to why he feels like a planet being sucked into the sun in his dreams whenever he sees her. But she’s not there. She’s only in his dreams to torment him, maybe something that Dream is making him see. 
Dejected, he returns to Snowchester and the mansion where he finds Tubbo playing with Micheal outside in the snow. 
“Hey, come play with us,” Tubbo says.
Ranboo thinks about it for a moment. “Okay.” 
The three spend the rest of the day outside, only coming back inside when the sun starts setting. Their nightly routine drags by as Ranboo waits in anticipation for when he can fall asleep and see the woman again. If that’s the only place he can see her, then so be it. 
After taking showers, brushing teeth, and getting changed into pajamas, everyone’s finally in bed with Tubbo bidding Ranboo goodnight and going to his own room. They found out the hard way that Ranboo is not a nice bedmate most nights and spends the entire time kicking hard enough to leave bruises for weeks.
Ranboo settles in between the blankets and closes his eyes. Just for a moment, he thinks he sees something in the corner of the room, but by then it’s too late to think about it. He’s already asleep. And this goes on for weeks. The same routine, never changing except for when either he or Tubbo have something super important to attend to. The same dream every night and the same waking fear that he’s never going to meet the woman. Until one day, it all seems to come crashing down on him. 
Ranboo steps onto the path leading into the village and looks around slowly. He spots her quickly, standing next to the same building that she always is. Her black wings seem to glitter in the sunlight while also soaking up all the light that hits them like a black hole. 
“Hello?” This is the first time he’s tried calling out to her, and she makes no movement to indicate that she’d heard. 
Ranboo steps forward until he’s next to her and she turns around to look behind her, but the look isn’t one that might appear when seeing a stranger. Rather, it was one that you might get when seeing a friend again for the first time in a while. 
“Hey… it’s been a while.” She walks over and hugs him.
“Uh yeah. My name’s Ranboo. I keep seeing you in my dreams and I don’t know why.” He says bluntly and she laughs loudly.
“I know who you are, silly. You’re my son. How have you been?” She says with a smile.
“Uh… I’ve been good. I’ve been having some really weird dreams lately though…” he trails off, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
“Oh what about?” She asks and he struggles with what to tell her.
“Well, this one for starters. But the others I’ve seen you in I’ve never been able to talk to you like I am now.” Ranboo mutters and she nods, the smile never dropping from her face.
“Well, that’s because you needed to talk to me silly. Don’t you remember the past few times we’ve talked?” She asks and Ranboo feels the color drain from his face.
“What do you mean we’ve talked before? Is my memory that bad? Did I do more than what I can remember?” He mutters quickly, looking down at his hands.
“No no no no no. You can’t remember because I didn’t want you to remember. I’ve been unable to leave the end dimension and I didn’t want to cause you any unnecessary stress or pain or fear or anything. The only reason you couldn’t talk to me recently was that I was escaping. You’re going to see me very soon, don’t worry. You need to go now. It’s not safe to stay here for long.” The woman pulls Ranboo in for a quick hug.
“Wait! No!” Ranboo sits up in the bed, the sunlight streaming in from outside.
“What’s wrong?” Tubbo bursts into the room quickly, worried that something’s happening to his husband.
“Nothing. Just a weird dream.” Ranboo shakes his head.
“The same one?”
“No, a different one this time. Well, a little different. Not sure why though.” It’s not entirely a lie. She told him why, but why did he need to talk to her?
“Okay. I’m gonna take Michael out for a walk. You have to go meet Tommy in the SMP.” Ranboo nods, getting ready for the day before leaving to get on with everything.
Before he can meet with Tommy though, his worst fear comes to pass.
“Wilbur,” Ranboo says slowly.
“Hello, Ranboo. We need to have a chat.” Wilbur's sickeningly sweet smile is enough to put Ranboo on edge.
“About what?” The fear creeps into the young man's voice against his will.
“You know what. And I’ll make you a deal right now. Help me, and I don’t tell anyone what you’ve done. Your secret stays with me. Your precious husband and Tommy will never hear that you helped Dream blow up their country, nor will they find out that you had his disc all along. So, what do you say?” Wilbur says happily, bouncing around energetically while he speaks.
“Go to hell.” Ranboo seethes, a faint static noise starting to come from him.
¨Already been there. It’s not as fun as you’d think. But if that’s what you want then so be it. I just wonder what everyone’s going to say.” Wilbur practically prances off and the realization of the consequences fully hits him.
“Oh fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I’ve got to get to Tubbo.” He mumbles before running off to Snowchester where his husband is currently.
Tubbo isn’t there when he gets back and he feels the panic set in. Surely Wilbur can’t possibly tell everyone in the time it takes him to get back to the SMP, right? But he did. And that lands Ranboo where he is now.
“You helped Dream!? You stole my disc and helped blow up L’Manberg!?” Tommy screams at the taller man and he holds up his hands in surrender.
“I didn’t know what I was doing! I-��� Ranboo tries to defend himself against the onslaught of words from the crowd of people surrounding him but it’s no use.
“You knew damn well what you were doing! You knew who Dream was- knew what he’d done- and yet you still helped him!” Tommy is livid. No one’s ever seen the kid as angry as he was now. Not even when Wilbur and Techno betrayed him in the first destruction of L’Manberg.
“I trusted you, Ranboo. You know what he’s done to Tommy… to me… and you still helped him. I can’t believe you.” Tubbo mumbles and that hurts more than the words that Tommy’s screaming. 
“Tubbo I-” Ranboo is cut off from speaking again and tries to curl up as small as he can. The crowd closes in on him, swords and axes in hand.
“You belong in the prison with Dream.”
“You’re just as bad as him. “ 
“Why shouldn’t we put you in there with him?”
The voices overlap each other- loud, accusing voices. 
“Stop!” Someone says, landing in front of the boy and holding their wings out to shield him from the sight of the group of people in front of him.
“And who are you?” Sam asks angrily, eyes red and holding a sword out in preparation to take Ranboo into custody.
“That doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re not going to touch him. Ever. And if any of you do, I will take all of your remaining lives and then display your bodies outside my house for the rest of my life. And I’m immortal. But don’t worry. He’s coming with me.” Her black scaly wings look familiar, and it takes him a moment before he places where he’s seen them before.
“And why should we give him to you?” Sam asks.
“He needs to be put in prison. He’s not going anywhere with you!” Tommy screams out and runs towards the woman with his sword raised.
She uses her wing to knock Tommy to the ground and looks Sam in the eyes. 
“As his mother, I’ve decided to take him with me. You do not get to tell me what I can and can’t do with my son. Last I checked, you aren’t his parent.” The purple glow of her eyes seems to get brighter as she speaks. 
“Give him to us or we’ll kill him and you right now.” Someone shouts from the crowd and the rest of them shout words of agreement.
“Is that a threat?” She asks head cocked slightly to the side.
“No. It’s a promise.” The same voice shouts and Ranboo identifies it as Sapnap.
“Well, in that case, come on then. I don’t have all day.” She smiles sweetly.
Sapnap steps forward and draws his axe. Y/n pulls her sword from the scabbard at her hip and the crowd eyes it wearily. The enchantments on it are evident in the runes etched into the blade, and a lot of them are ones that not even Philza recognizes. A slight haze surrounds the metal in the sunlight and Sapnap gulps but doesn’t retreat.
The crowd backs away and Ranboo does the same.
“Get ready to die,” Sapnap says before charging at Y/n. 
She steps back, dodging his lunge and making one of her own, at the same time sweeping her leg under his. Sapnap jumps and swipes at her with his blade. She dodges under it, coming up behind him and wrapping hers around his neck. The blade touches his skin and he feels a hot and cold sensation spread through his body, the freezing effect doing nothing to cool the burning that it follows.
“Are you done?” She asks and Sapnap’s breath catches in his throat.
“Never.” He tries to stab behind her but gets nothing but air. 
“Your choice.” She mutters before sliding her sword across his neck. 
The crowd gasps and screams as they watch the wound on his neck that was just made heal and his body contort and elongate. His screams die out as the fire engulfs his body, disappearing as the blue frost follows it leaving a pure black color in its wake. Not a moment later, he stands back up, but it’s not him. It’s something else. The black figure towers over everyone, giving them a quick look before teleporting away.
Someone screams, and then it’s chaos. Most of the group scatters with Bad simply staring at the spot where Sapnap’s body was.
“No…” he whispers and he feels his heartbreak.
“He’s not dead. He should be back wherever he spawns. You don’t have to worry.” She says, and Bad looks up before taking off to see if she’s telling the truth.
When the area is clear of people, she turns around to look at Ranboo. 
“Let’s go. You have a lot to learn.” She says with a gentle smile and places a hand on his shoulder. “And don’t worry about your friends. They’ll come around eventually. Trust me. Everything’s going to work itself out in the end.” 
He nods and smiles at her in return. She leads him out of the SMP, one wing wrapped protectively around him.
