c!prime is so funny because dream is like Tommy we’re yin and yang we’re two sides of the same coin we’re two eagles locked in combat hurtling towards the earth in every universe we’re destined to complete and destroy each other and Tommy is like trying to eat a sandwich
@kkastra honestly I kinda hurt myself a little with that one I need to draw them together more they’re so freaking sad. have some evil trivia about them + Prime because he’s kinda there too (cw cdream getting stabbed in a drawing)
-cDream was “born” fully adult physically, but mentally he was kind of like an amnesia victim and had yet to develop any kind of personality. ExDee was working on Other Things during this time period, so it was cDrista who worked with Dream in the beginning.
-Drista appears as a child, but she both is and isn’t. she is wise like an old woman and yet her mannerisms and actions imitate a child. she’s Dream’s silly little sibling and also his accidentally parentified older sister. she jokes and laughs with cTommy like she’s his age but she has seen so much more than him. she’s in a weird nebulous state where even she isn’t sure if she’s child or adult
-although Drista was created just as entertainment for ExDee, she does more than that and has “raised” all of the angels who came after her in one way or another, Dream most of all.
-Dream and Drista had a running discussion for a while about whether or not they actually counted as siblings, since they’re just clones of the same guy. eventually they decided that it was their choice, and the pair of them agreed to be siblings.
-sometimes Drista visits Dream in his dreams. sometimes he refuses to see her, sometimes they talk, sometimes they even have a good time together. regardless, Dream never remembers anything about it when he wakes up.
-Tommy can see Drista, but few other people can. cPhil probably could, but he thinks she’s a hallucination of Tommy’s, which is what Tommy thinks too, since nobody else could see her, including Dream. after exile, he chalks her visits up to his starving brain conjuring up an image of a little girl who wanted to play with him like little kids the way he missed out on to comfort him. it is kinda weird that his brain chose to send him a hallucination of such a creepy girl, but hey, who is he to judge? she was funny, and she was comforting.
-Tommy mentions her to Dream once, saying that he’s been seeing this weirdly pale little girl with huge creepy eyes and clown makeup and half her head gone. Dream reacts very very badly and it spooks Tommy out of mentioning it to anyone until much later with cTubbo and cRanboo, and by then he’s already convinced himself it was a hallucination.
-Michael can see Drista. so can Shroud. so can Yogurt. only Michael has the words for it (Yogurt is too young to speak and Tommy is still trying to learn to speak Spider and teach Shroud to speak English), though, and since he only sees Drista in dreams he doesn’t discuss it much.
-most of the other angels’ remnants have faded away, except for Drista and cPrime. Drista because she wants to watch after Dream and Prime out of pure hate and spite.
-Prime hates everyone except Drista. he extra despises Dream half because he killed Drista and half because he is super jealous of him for being the perfect angel.
-ExDee is a bit of a forgotten god, though cPhil and cTechno have been thoroughly informed about him through the Death Goddess and Blood God respectively (and as the server members explore server history more and cGeorge, cSapnap, cKarl, and more members have encounters with ExDee, he starts gaining some traction). most of the server worships smaller deities, but Tommy worships Prime. a small sect of ExDee’s followers defected after he killed Prime and chose to worship Prime instead. over time, the details of who and what Prime was changed so much as to be unrecognizable. these days he is purported to be a minor deity of good fortune (ironic considering his fate).
btw cDream’s jester motif is subconsciously inspired by Drista’s jester motif
oh yeah I should tell you about the dream I had. basically c!dream became a god somehow and c!tommy sacrificed himself by trapping him in a tiny pocket dimension he couldn’t leave with them as the only living beings. and obviously c!dream was pissed and also basically omnipotent so he put c!tommy through horrifically inventive tortures both physical and mental, but he quickly got incredibly lonely so he started alternating between that and forcing c!tommy to just. hang out with him.
during both, c!tommy was forcibly kept from dying or from falling unconscious, mentally blocked from disassociating from his situation or becoming so traumatised as to become unrecognisable. on rare occasions, he was allowed a short nap, if c!dream was feeling very nice, but other than that he got absolutely no breaks from c!dream, whether he was in a very good or very bad mood. he was also prevented from ever getting used to his treatment, both the good and the bad- each felt completely new and extremely overwhelming.
but like, the interesting part of my dream was that c!tommy and c!dream both ended up developing their own sort of worldview and communication and stuff as a result of being so isolated in these conditions. they didn’t have any concept of time, for one- something lasting a second or a century would be indistinguishable for them. they didn’t need to conceptualise time so they just didn’t. they also grew to not understand a difference between kindness and cruelty- while initially c!dream was taking out his anger on c!tommy, he eventually was just doing it because it was normal for them and neither of them saw a difference between it and their moments spending time together.
they didn’t even really consider each other separate entities, being basically in arms length of each other at all time and at max like maybe a rooms length if they were on complete opposite ends of the dimension. they knew they weren’t the same, but like in the way your eyes and your ears aren’t the same- they do very different things but you’d be confused if someone treated them as separate entities attached to you rather than just. you. (on that note, they also had zero concept of personal space at all, and both had panic attacks when not in physical contact).
they had even developed their own form of communication, a mix of body language, facial expression, and a pidgin mix of english (tommy’s native language) and ender (Dream’s native language). it also relied heavily on the two of them just genuinely knowing each other so well they just understood each other intrinsically.
anyway after a year in the overworld c!Tubbo was working on a device to bring c!tommy back, but it malfunctioned and he accidentally brought both him and c!dream back. due to time differences between the dimensions, for each day in the overworld c!prime had gone through billions of years. so by the point they were brought back, they had acclimated to the situation they were in to the point they didn’t even recognise the idea of people outside of themselves, let alone their former friends. but i woke up before I learnt what happened :(
