I do think it's a crime that the Attention Seeking Disorders are known as "abuser disorder avoid at all costs" and "what's that?"

there are a thousand layers of tragedy to Apo’s story but one that really gets me is the fact that Apo never got to save anyone.

For a character as selfless and caring and willing to try again as Apo, it’s just so gut-wrenching sad that none of the people closest to them made it out, or at least made it out with their connections to Apo reasonably intact.

Apo did so much for all of the people under their protection. They sacrificed everything—their time, their loyalty, their chance at an even slightly less horrible stint in Oakhurst, even their life.

And the worst part is, it’s not like Apo accomplished nothing. They directly saved Martyn from his injuries and Pearl from the vampires and Doc from being turned by Cleo. They protected Avid and Drift in episode three and got all of the townsfolk through the final fights. They helped to damage Pyro, Owen and Avid to the degree that it contributed to all three of their deaths.

And in the end it didn’t matter.

Half of the people Apo wanted to protect became the people they had to kill. Doc got turned. Martyn and Ren died. She was betrayed over and over and over again.

And isn’t that so cruel?

Apo is kind and selfless and fights for what she believes in. The classic hero cannot stop everything from falling apart.

The love was there, and it didn’t save anyone.

Oh wait. Wait fuck. Because on the staged finale Dream saw the worst of everyone in the dsmp and he was right. He made a plan that would only work if everyone was eager to be the boot, to hurt others. That would only work if Sam wanted control enough to suggest putting Dream in the prison, that would only work if all his friends turned on him, if none of his family tried to save him. It's a plan that only works if everyone is happy for a scapegoat, happy to continue the cycle. And it went off perfectly. And they did just as expected.

And yet. And yet this means that these worst versions of the dsmp are still people Dream would do this for. That he would still pretty much kill himself for the friends and family that he expects to throw him away. He still loves them enough to trap himself in a tiny little torture box for them. Fuck.

i think returning to the markiplier hyperfix after years away has been one of the best things that could have happened to me right now like genuinely. i havent felt this joyful and inspired to create in a while. i also think it might be a combination of current interests that are contributing to this feeling but its funnier to place the blame on darkiplier and simon ironlung
