c!discduo abuse dynamics
I feel like c!discduo has something really unique to the dsmp in the sense that c!dream and tommy are pretty great representation of abuse at a young age, ESPECIALLY from a parent/guardian, because what was really so horrifying about their relationship was the fact that it literally was DREAM’S world that everyone was living in.
Dream was the server owner, dream could go into creative mode, dream could revive people, dream was one of the two best pvpers on the server, god was literally MADE IN DREAM’S IMAGE. No matter how hard tommy tried, escaping dream was so hard because the server WAS dream. Tommy had dream to thank for reviving him but also had dream to thank for killing him. It was literally that dream brought him into this world and took him out of it… sounds like something an angry parent would say, right?
C!tommy is an amazing reflection of how it can feel to be under the authority and especially in the house of your abuser, in the sense that everything in your life can and does revolve around them, if they can help it.
We see how tommy, despite hating dream, craves his attention and feels guilty being away from him because dream forced himself into Tommy’s life and made himself a PART of tommy, similar to how it’s difficult to escape the way you were raised, especially in an abusive household.
Also, I love the body horror aspect of Tommy’s revival and wish it was talked about more… like, dream has the ability to disassemble and reassemble tommy however many times he likes and tommy is kind of powerless about it? Like HOW are you supposed to move on with your life with the knowledge that your heart is only beating because your abuser wanted to “run an experiment on you”, forever infecting you with weird magic or whatever is in the revival book???
Something something tommy describing revival as “it felt like my body was taken apart and put back together again, and then taken back apart again here. I felt stretched” “I felt like I was shredded to dust, but there was no blood, there was no flesh, it was just essence”
HOW was he coming up with this on the spot bro anyways fuck c!dream and fuck cc!dream too while we r at it
