Justice Well Served

- “Dream has been fleeing his three persistant hunters for two months now. Life hasn’t been the same ever since the King demanded his head, and the more time goes on, the more he sees his future crumble. Maybe he never should have crossed him in the first place.

George and his two best friends have been sent on a neckbreaking mission to catch the most dangerous criminal in the kingdom of Rua. Guided by compasses and orders from the King, they’re determined to catch up very, very soon.”

About Dream not admitting giving the snapchat was wrong:

I feel like he might not be able to say certain things because of possible legal action he might not be able to say certain things. But (if we assume he's innocent) I could also see him thinking "my intension were right so it's not a big deal" like he might believe because he didn't mean for in to be inapropriate or never pland to have sexual/flirty conversations it wasn't a bad thing to message a fan privatly or give out his snap. Maybe more naive or dumb than maliscious?

Assuming he's guilty him adressing certain things will make it easier for Amanda's case. Like a lawyer could argue Dream himself called the texts inapropriate (or anything other then innocent).

I myself think regardless of what happend on snapchat the fact he added a young fan his "private" account on an app notorious for not storing data is bad.

The last part: Yeah, definitely, which is kindof why everything is so high up in the air. I agree that he probably is a bit naive to think that just because his intentions are right it wasn't a bad thing to do, which I'm HOPING he realizes at some point (preferably soon). It may be true that he is holding out on not saying anything at all if there really will be a court case, which would tbh really clear things up a little.

I agree that I can definitely see him thinking that because he meant no harm just communicating with a fan isn't a big deal, but unfortunately that's not entirely so and I hope he does realize that.

As for snapchat: Afaik, snapchat does not permanently delete data for quite a while. I'm unsure how long they keep it (far longer than users can see), but data storage en masse is not THAT expensive as long as it's just Sitting There. I don't know if they will have anything left now, but snapchat most certainly is not the place to hide actual criminal activity, because snapchat WILL keep anything they want to keep as long as they want to keep it. I do hope they will have something left if a court case does force them to crack open their database.

I get being unable to make a decision on the situation, especially since everyone else seems to know where they stand. Some people are fully leaving, others are defending dream, I don’t feel comfortable with either side so I’m preparing myself to wait for both of their full stories. But THEN because I haven’t chosen a side, I don’t know how to feel about absorbing dream content anymore, kinda makes me feel guilty, I can’t see him the same way. Because at the end of the day, he still privately talked with a fan, and has talked to more. But then I’m also here thinking that he can learn form this. I can see this happening because he just wanted to be friendly and interact with his community, I think this situation can be a good lesson for him going forward too, that as a creator, messaging fans like this can damage his career, as it already has.

I get you, anon. I feel like some (not everyone ofc) people also left because of other things that built up, and this was kindof the last straw, or at least so i've heard (like them not being as interested or bothered by other things in the past, which I personally didn't have tbh).

And the thing is also that like. He had always made mistakes in the past, but it's the way he grew from them that always made me completely willing to give him a second chance on it, and so far he has always used that chance well. Obviously we don't know how this will end yet, and tbh I will probably continue to lurk and wait for now. I definitely get feeling weird about just consuming content right now, I definitely feel something similar because this HAS been the only thing in my brain for, well, ages.

i'm also waiting with a pretty neutral stance hoping to hear more. the part that is scaring me is that dream admitted the instagram dms were real, and while they mostly were really short far-apart casual messages that i don't find anything wrong with, at the end he gives her his private snapchat. so if the messages are real like he said, then he rly did give her the snapchat. the idea of a cc giving a fan he's spoken to in like 10ish messages on instagram his private snapchat? i just don't see a world in which that is not a red flag. they didn't have like a conversation where they were rly getting to know each other or whatever, so the only reason he would have to want her on snapchat is her looks, and then him messaging her stuff like "you're gorgeous as fuck" is a pretty damn logical conclusion from there. i find just that really inappropriate to message your fans on snapchat, even if the gross sexual misconduct accusations aren't true. and dream only said nothing inappropriate happened, but what is not inappropriate to him may not be the same for us. he never said the snapchat wasn't real, even though that seems like the first thing to want to deny if it was fake right?

i guess what i'm hoping for is that somehow part of the dms are real and just the snapchat giving part is fake somehow. but from dream's statement i find that super hard to believe now, cus i don't see why he would not have clarified that then. i guess he just doesn't think it's inappropriate to add sexy younger female fans on private snapchat and message them about how hot they are? i really really need clarification on what exactly is true.

grooming is definitely the wrong word for it though and it's not illegal, so i understand if some people also don't find these actions inappropriate. but i can't help it, even though i really want to believe, i just can't find the actions dream himself admitted to to be appropriate. i hope it's a misunderstanding and he will clear it up somehow... but starting to lose hope at this point. it's been a good bit of time since the statement so he should've been able to add to the vague parts like the snapchat that everyone is wanting more clarity on, but he hasn't. i think i will wait a couple more days but it's looking bad.

what are your thoughts on what's inappropriate for him to have actually done and what's still ok? since we don't have real clarity right now on which parts are real even after his statement.

That's kindof tricky. I do agree that messaging 18 year old fans he thinks are attractive to get their snapshat is um. Off. It's definitely far from grooming and more of his personal life, I guess? It's definitely not *great*, especially considering he was messaging fans, but I could think of far worse and its definitely many magnitutes lower than what he is being accused of. I DO think he shouldn't really be messaging fans like that I suppose, but I can kinda see why he doesn't see anything wrong with it (although imo he should). I do think that can be criticized in moderate amounts and should be something he hears of.

Obviously grooming is, as said, wayyyyyy worse and MANY magnitudes further than that. I think there may be more info later still, especially as more people dig into it and as things go on, even if it doesn't necessarily come from Dream himself. So I do still kindof have hopes that with time we'll know a bit more.

Honestly, I'm not sure. While I do think it's a bit eh that he would text a fan that way, I guess it's also like, if he's a guy who's known in that magnitute trying to find connections to people would be tricky, and he would in a way be forced to limit himself to only people that are ccs themselves, which is also a whole different set of risks. While what he did wasn't great, I guess he could bear to be more patient, though as he's said (if we are to believe him on it) he stopped replying to a lot of them because he got paranoid, which I can genuinely see happening considering who he is. It's complicated. He should know to prefer to seek partnerships with people he meets irl or that don't know him as well, but it's not illegal for him to talk to adult fans in that way either, although I wish he would have gone about it a different way, and that is obviously assuming that his statement is 100% true.

I guess we will see where it goes, and I do hope we get more clarity on it all later, too.

Fuck I was glad I had found a blog like so level headed like you but fuck you I wasn’t referring to you I actually had thought you were so good with your responses but you also take things too personal forget I said anything my mistake I took you for someone who was more grounded

Hokay, calm down there. For one, I don't think disagreeing with "people take things too personally and should go outside" makes someone less grounded or level headed. I explained to you precicely why I think so and hope I made my point clear. It was meant to be a neutral explanation, though I understand sometimes my neurodivergency may make it come off different. I do not mean to insult people or anything of the like when i explain things, I guess it's kindof my style of speech. I also suppose being said I'm no longer level headed would assume an emotional response from me? I'm not sure where in my ask reply there was one. I did have an emotional response for the situation as a whole which, as said, I can't exactly switch off. But other than that, i'm not sure what you're referring to?

Either way, I suppose I would prefer if you built your idea of me based on my actual responses and less on the way you would hope I would react, especially since for quite a long time I have stayed out of all discourse discussions as whole, so I'm not sure where this specific idea is coming from. You don't have to send another anon or respond, but I do hope I made my intentions more clear.

I believe people are in their rights to be kinda upset to a certain degree but a lot of people in this fandom just takes things toooo personal like they put themselves in the narrative and feel personally attacked when is nowhere near. And I always say “believe the victim” but also hold your reserves you know? Like you don’t know them either as you don’t know cc. So yeah I believe this fandom is too parasocial and they need to go out to the world and live which I know right know they are just starting bc of the pandemic so they kinda have an excuse but please people this is not “your” lifeeee. He doesn’t know you as neither does she. Support who you want but don’t let that affect your personal health and life please

If this is about me being upset at the situation (and many others being upset), I will say I am currently studying for a career I've wanted for a long time and have made tons of contacts there, I have 2-3 completely seperate friend groups I belong to that know nothing of this fandom whatsoever. I interact with people over discord vc or in real life daily that do not know anything of this fandom. I don't think it's as easy as "just don't let it affect you" and I certainly don't think the solution is that people just need to go outside.

If you watch a favorite show you really like and the creators do something that rubs you the wrong way, that is going to affect you, and the characters aren't even real people.

I think different people are affected by different things and are allowed to do so. They are sentient humans just as much as you that understand things such as mental toll and exhaustion and emotional investment and are perfectly capable of making their own decisions in their lives.

The way the "he doesn't know you" stands as an argument already shows that the concept of "just dont let it affect your life and go outside" really talks down on people. You assume they themselves don't have an understanding of what getting emotinally involved could potentially do to them and don't have the ability to view things outside their perspective whatsoever, and that you must remind them like a child that is playing dress up that the toys are not, in fact, real. It's condescending, and I hope I've made it clear why.

Sometimes, certain things bring people a lot of joy. Like a LOT of it. This is heightened with mental illness, troubles with family and friends and in general, and even more so with neurodivergencies that tend to hyperfocus on specific topics. The happier something makes you, the more it can hurt you. So you either do not allow anything to make you THAT happy and always curb it before it goes up (good luck on that it sucks), or you only let things make you happy that are "safe" and thus "untouchable" that would somehow never be able to hurt you (basically impossible, we can't see the future).

It's easy to say "he doesn't know you". Yeah, no shit. And? They were happy, and now all that is potentially crashing down. You don't know the people that are upset, either, whom you're very confidantly telling to go outside and switch off their emotions.

I absolutely don't mean to come off agressive, but I hope I explained why this line of thinking is really off putting to a lot of people and I absolutely do not agree with it.

personally, i am terrified of falling asleep. i simply don't know when or what to expect

- thursday anon

The most terrifying moment for me is just opening tumblr for the first time during the day. I take a deep, deep breath. I mentally prepare myself that this is it. Today could be the day. Everything could change, and as usual I probably missed it. I click on the wretched icon, waiting in anticipation as the circle turns and turns.

The first posts load in. I stare at each one like I'm trying to make it undergo a psychological lying test. I stare intensely at every single irl photo of anybody I have until my half face blind brain decides to lazily and a little unsurely toss the picture into its correct person box.

With each post, the tension in my jaw and my arms and back starts to fade. I start seeing calm discussion posts. Once the first post "only x hours until we see dream's face!!" hits, the alarm state is over. I can relax. Breathe. Scroll my tumblr dash like a normal person again.

And I've been doing this for the past couple days every single morning

No one in my discord friendgroup has wished me a happy birthday today even tho I mentioned it 3 days ago AND today and they’ve responded and interacted w me :( I’m too awkward and socially terrified to bring it up SO I’m posting about it on tumblr instead

#theres only like 7 or 8 of us in a little friend server #nobody from here #and its notm.c.yt themed #we talk there every day #and the last person who had a birthday (like a week ago or so) got a whol announcement and everyone wishing them a happy bday #like seperately everybody wrote something and i did too #dreamteamspace speaks #i did rant a bit about how i do usually like calm ish birthday without a big party those few days before #but i never said i dont want birthday wishes? Just that i like having a chill bday with few ppl #like did they misinterpret that #or did one person misinterpret it and the others who have all spoken to me today are like 'well now it would just be awkward' #IDFK

Unrelated to anything but. Good god. I’m listening to music and my brain. It’s empty. There is no ultravivid daydream more interesting than reality. There is no extremely horrifying alternate to my life playing in my head.

It’s just. Empty. Relaxed. My thoughts only are the rythmn, the notes, the beat. Truly nothing else.

Okay I KNOW I should shut up about this now so this will probably? Be my last post about it? So some people say the stuff proved false and some say it’s not really evidence. Tbh regardless of the accusations, it still baffles me (and many many others as I have seen) that he doesn’t see anything wrong with privately messaging a fan he barely knows and giving his private snap. Like I just... If he would have at least said SOMETHING along the lines of “I was young and dumb and didn’t get it”, but all his text was was just that the fan/s in question were always 18 and the messages casual and that’s it. Like it might be he doesn’t realize yet and it comes later, idk.

Anyways, I will be keeping this blog around, mostly to get occasional info about it all maybe. Feel free to send me anons with any big updates if they happen. Might make a new blog in the future about video game creating, or not, idk.

He didn't say they were real but rather they could possibly be real because he did chat with his fans back then. He said specifically the messages where he's being inappropriate were not real

Yeah, I got that much as well, which also kindof seems like it was an older situation (which doesn't necessarily pull it one way or the other tbh). If he chats with a lot of people (or did back then) and they were standard casual messages, I *could* see him not remembering. Again, unfortunately doesn't really firmly give us a hint in either direction, in my opinion at least, but you are correct that that is what he said in his twitlonger.
