Yup I’m still thinking about the rain and the staged duo brain rot I had in the tags, there’s just so much potential… so here are some random scenarios rotting my brain for you to enjoy :)

Dream in the rain be like

Ya know how there are lots of rescuing Dream from prison fanfics and AUs?… well has anyone written one for Fundy? Like they were engaged so I could totally see a whole thing of Fundy taking mercy on him and a - eventhough you broke my heart, I’ll heal your body…

Actually, unfortunately, the engagement wasn't canon. T^T

Dream said it wasn't, at least. :p

But technically, stuff in the DSMP did happen around it, so I came up with the idea that, since Fundy is well known for also sleeping and stuff, like George, what if it was all a dream? :3

Like, Fundy gets prophetic dreams, but not all of them are, I think.

He did say he has a hard time telling the difference between a dream and reality.

Which I think works super well! :D

Fundy could totally have thought that all that actually happened, rescues Dream, and he's just like ':/???? Why??? We hardly have even talked?????'

And Fundys just like 'Oh, okay, so now we weren't even engaged??? Jerk. >:('

It would be very funny. UwU

Plus, like, then it also doesn't have to be a romance, either, because it didn’t happen. XD

Ooo yeessss, that would be funny, and works well with Fundy’s whole dream thing…

Hmm… so I did find where cc!Dream tweeted about it not being canon [link]. However, I do stand by my point that I’ve made before about whether it is valid or makes sense for creators to correct lore outside of the smp streams and/or without the involvement of the other creators. Sure explaining their character’s motivation and stuff is one thing. But if we treat it like a show then someone doesn’t need a Twitter account to know the plot and lore and canon. In the same way, you don’t have to have read comics to know what’s going on in the MCU. And since not everyone has(had) social media or Twitter specifically, then to retcon lore or give lore outside of a viewers reach seems scuffed to me. If that makes sense. A viewer shouldn’t have to look at a wiki or social media just to understand the story, that should be extra not required… but I mean I guess it’s up for interpretation as so many things in the dsmp are, but as you pointed out it is referenced, like Dream giving Fundy a flower and kissing him [clip]. It is also mentioned in the dreamon streams [11:19], which I know some people don’t consider canon but still. And the wedding is mentioned in Exile [clip]. (And I wanna say I heard Fundy mention it in a Pogtopia era stream I watched recently or maybe the exile discussions I’m not sure…). Though I also think even if we don’t consider the wedding and date itself, which happened off the server, canon, Fundy harboring a crush on Dream seems fair and reasonable if we consider the things that happened on the server like the roses :) or his side comments here and there… anyways, lore is scuffed we knew that already lol, but in the topic of fanfiction my main point was that I’ve not seen it despite it being a whole thing that’s mentioned and stuff. I mean I’ve seen plenty of rescues and healing arcs with sbi -which is not canon, Foolish as his brother -which is not canon, Bad as his father -which is not canon, Puffy as his mother -which is not canon, and all of those things have never been canon and only mentioned in fan circles. So, I guess I find it interesting that I’ve never seen it be Fundy, despite Fundywastaken being at least dubiously canon with some actual basis… if that makes sense. Like if I were a shipper and like romance stuff and such, that one would be easy, the pieces are there, no need to extrapolate much…

And you are right also, that someone could write a fanfic that wasn’t super romantic regardless of lore chosen since the rescue would be after they breakup anyways, and they wouldn’t have to get back together, Fundy could just take mercy on him…

Today on Transportation Engineering: best sidewalk ever

Honestly, I can’t decide which is dumber, the utility polls going in after the sidewalk or the sidewalk being put in around the existing polls…

I got to see the musical Les Misérables recently and it got me thinking... Who represents “the people” in the dsmp. I think the common perception is L’manberg, they have the flag after all. Tommy and Wilbur were certainly not wealthy in riches, surely they represent the poor people starving in the streets, fighting against an unfair system…Except in the beginning they are revolting against Dream, who is neither a king nor dictator nor government. He wasn’t forcing people into poverty or unjustly imprisoning people for stealing bread to become his slaves. On the contrary, he constantly gave out food and even returned people’s armor when the battles were over. I believe Dream even says himself [clip] that the people of L’manberg already had the freedom to build that land and make it their home and community. What they fought for was independence, which gave them the right to deny people freedom to enter their land. They fought not for their own freedom to exist, they already had that, but the right to enforce rules that limited other people’s freedom - only Europeans allowed, no armor… etc - They fought to establish the very oppressive government they claimed to revolt against and when they were kicked out by the very laws of the government they created, that’s when L’manberg (Manberg) needed to be overthrown. But not to dismantle the corrupt institution that allowed a legal dictatorship (like Techno thought) but to become the new dictators. In other words, L’manberg is less like the Les Mis revolutionaries and more like the corrupt government. In that case then, Niki is the people who will not be slaves again, Philza fought for the right to be free, Techno fought for the world he longs to see, Dream fought for his life to start, when tomorrow comes. They then are the people who were oppressed by the government (used as a slave for resources, hunted down and executed, discriminated against and unfairly treated, forced under house arrest because of a friendship… etc) singing for the freedom to simply live their lives. They are the ones singing the song of angry men. [song]

Very interesting advancement note that I’m obviously not the first to comment on but

The wording is ‘rescue’ a Ghast from the Nether, and bring it ‘safely home’. Which has always been the idea of, are Ghasts from the Nether? Was the Nether always like this; and are they so miserable because they were forced to adapt to a ruined fiery hellscape? Well, now we know that presumably when young especially, they’re liable to dry out. That if they’re rescued from being dried, they thrive in a more earthly environment. That they grow up happy when doing so. I do think that Ghasts may be from the Nether, but not from the current Nether. A much colder one, maybe more like the Overworld, maybe not. Probably a cavernous fungal paradise if I had to guess. But now they live in a world that’s been ruined by something, and turned into the human embodiment of hell, forced to spit fire just to no longer be filled with it when they’d much rather eat snow to cool down. Is it any wonder they cry?

Ahhh… Mat Pat was right, it’s all coming together… indeed no wonder the ghasts are so unhappy… Leave it to Mojang to not only highlight endangered species but also a message of climate change.

Do you think Dream could hear the rain in the cell?...

And if he did, despite the lava and guardians, do you think it brought comfort or pain? Was it comforting to know there is an outside world, did it pull on the natural instinct to curl up with a book, or did it hurt that he was stuck inside maybe to never feel the rain again? Did he crave the coolness of the rain as he sat in his boiling cell or did he try to reason with himself that at least he's dry and doesn't have to deal with it? Did he sit there knowing Quackity was going to be especially unpleasant after walking in the rain?... Did he sit there staring at the ceiling listening to the droplets fall, wondering if it was the only piece of nature he would ever have...

@sketchehm - #ehm reblogs#ooo#do you think he wouldnt know what it is at first? thinking hes already kind of suffering from auditory hallucinations? whats that taping?#but its nothing like the ticking of his clock#its random and soothing and maybe its faulty redstone that goes off every so often but he wont tell sam about this one thing.#wont be until quackity comes in with wet clothes while hes listening to the tapping that he realizes its rain...#telling himself he'll never forget the sound even if hes forgotten what its felt like...

@dsmpenjoyerlol - #Is that really rain ? Or is that the lava from the cell ?#Is that really what he hear or is that just an hallucination of his brain to normalise all the sound in his cell ?#But yeah only dream can do that 🙏

yeah that's the spirit... ouch...

sorry T-T but you start it and now i'm spiralling of the meaning behind Dream earing the rain in the cell T-T

But like it's in some way poetic and symbole behind...

Dream in this cell that just lava the silence the torture like if he start to hear the rain...

The rain is always use for melancoli and nostalgia in books express the worst of human living on the moment and kind the sadness who hurt the soul... So

What really is in Dream brain ?

The confort of an old time ?

Before L'manburg ? Before he lose his friendship with Sapnap and George ? When the smp was just sunny day, laught and upgrading the Community house ?

The confort to get in this illusion to an old simple think as listening the rain running on the ground just to survive what he live in this cell

And later, when he’s free and sitting in the prison and hears the loud rhythmic tapping on the roof, he recognizes it as the rain and maybe he rushes outside to feel it hit his skin. It’s a familiar miserable feeling and yet he cherishes it, delights in the soggy misery he thought he’d never get to experience again…
