c!slimecicle & c!schlatt met, right?: a semi-coherent ramble
So I remembered this image
this was tweeted out alongside a bunch of lore teaser tweets for the upcoming Las Nevadas stream
looking back i began to think
why the hell would c!slime, knowing him now, have a nightmare involving c!Schlatt?
then i remembered that cc!schlatt doesn't stream his pov, and a lot of lore this season relies on off-stream agreements and conversation to progress the plot. for c!schlatt, a lot of his character and mystery exists off-stream, alluded to in passing mention
so i began to theorize that the two have definitely met before
i mean there is stronger evidence towards c!slime and c!connor knowing each other, and there's the fact that c!connor and c!schlatt are on positive terms, plus c!schlatt may have ties to some supernatural stuff, so like... it's plausible!
but also like, "nightmare???" charlie tweeted the image with a caption about "having a nightmare"
we know c!schlatt has a pretty fucked up moral character but like, what the hell did he do???
because while I can understand c!slime grossly misunderstanding some social customs, I cannot buy that he knows nothing! i can buy that he knows enough, I mean, he is able to hold coherent thoughts about existentialism
and it just made me look at how c!slime makes an active effort to present as human, even when it's obvious to everyone that he's a slime. he has been watching right? why the fuck would he still think being human was necessary to interact with non-slime? he's witnessed canonical non-humans so he should have nothing to be afraid of! look at his interaction with c!ranboo!
when the folks out there were saying that c!slime might actually be exaggerating his lack of knowledge of human interaction norms, I might be a little inclined to believe them
I feel like something happened to c!slime when he was interacting with a non-slime person, vulnerable and his slime nature obvious to them. was that person schlatt? the tweet might support that? idk honestly
