Idk if anyone remembers the OG c!Techno grew up as a gladiator headcanon but that has always been my official headcanon for him because it’s just perfect for his character in so many ways
Anyways I was looking back at the webtoon made by The Angel Incarnate and I saw a chapter talking about c!Techno’s scars from the chains he was forced to wear.
By the time Technoblade appeared in the Dream SMP he was already established as a lethal force on the battlefield, but how did he become the
And in my personal headcanon, c!Dream was the one to rescue c!Techno from his owners (it’s a long story but if you want to hear more PLS ask me, my asks are open and I may even finally write it all on ao3 if people are interested bc I have a very fleshed-out story)
Anyways so c!Dream knows about c!Techno’s scars and how c!Techno was self-conscious about them for a long time because of they were a symbol that he had been a slave, and when c!Techno rescues c!Dream from prison one of the first things c!Dream does is just smile at c!Techno and hold up his wrists, which now have matching scars to c!Techno’s 🥹
And this idea that c!Dream isn’t even upset about it, obviously he’s upset over what he’s been through but these scars in particular he is happy to have because he is happy to share them with c!Techno 🩷
For c!Dream they don’t symbolize ownership, they symbolize a brother’s bond and the fact that even the strongest of warriors can go through horrible hardships and still get back up and keep fighting for what they believe in 💚🩷
