So, I had an idea. We know that c!Dream is regarded and treated like a god. But what if he wasn’t always a god, but instead just a mortal who, once he created the world, /became/ a god-like creature. A young god for sure, with youthful abilities and a naïve view on what he should concern himself with, but a god nonetheless.
*We also know that the fandom has 2 main designs for Dream. The “mask” design, and the “floating ball head” design. What if, once he turned into a god, he went from design 1 to design 2. To those who’ve read the Maze Runner: Sorch Trials, you know the scene where the crew are escaping from the sanctuary house through this dark tunnel? And how at random blobs of liquid metal(?) fell from the ceiling, landed on someone’s head, encased it, and decapitated them? That’s how I picture c!dreams transformation to be like. But instead of hot metal, it’s his mask that grew and distorted and encased his head before the rest of his ‘mortal body’ was discarded and from the sphere his immortal god form was made.
It gives him even creepier vibes, and in some sick way plays into his philosophy of “all attachments are weaknesses” citing how he severed himself from even his own mortal body and look where he is now? A god with the world, /his/ world, at his beck and call.
