The absolute whiplash from Foolish literally bringing lightning from the sky and smiting a force and calling them pests and mere ants in his eyes and instilling real godly fear into Sam—

To going back to a minimum wage mansion building job for two kids and their adopted son

Ok there was a LOT to unpack in foolish’s stream but one of the most important things in my opinion:

He still doesn’t blame bad, ant, ponk, or punz. Even after he was literally murdered by them.

And I think THAT’S the most telling character trait of foolish. Even after everything, he still believes people can be good.

He’s not naive, he’s literally a god. He’s seen death and murder and destruction. But he still chooses to believe in people, even when they hurt him.

And that’s why he’s one of my favorite characters.

C!Puffy and c!Dream not seeing each other as family while c!Foolish does see Dream as his brother is so funny actually. Dream escapes prison and makes a big speech about revenge and Foolish dramatically steps forward saying "Brother please, you can be better! Think of our dad! Think of how you're making her feel!" And Dream's just like "Who the fuck are you. I don't have parents. Die."

imagine yourself going insane over building a chandelier for two minors who want a mansion for themselves and their adopted zombie piglin child.

imagine yourself finishing it and, to conclude it, you stand on top of said chandelier and dance to a Toad version of Sia's Chandelier.

pov: you're foolish__gamers

I'm noticing a trend in mythology references in the Dream SMP. Here are some things I noticed; additions will be in the reblogs. I'm not sure what they might mean, so I'm curious to see if dsmpblr has any ideas.

So far, most of the mythological references are from Greek mythology.

For a start, we know about Techno and Tommy's relations with Theseus; we won't get into that. But that is one of the first direct references to Greek mythology that we see.

Today, Foolish revealed lore about his character which brings me to think he is a combination of Zeus (god of the sky), Poseidon (god of the sea), and Hades (god of the Underworld), as in power.

Here's why:

- He used to be a sea god. (Which is really hecking cool.) Like Poseidon.

- He has control over the sky and can summon lightning (without using a Channeling trident). Foolish said this is due to his sea god powers, but doesn't that seem similar to a Zeus power to you?

- Foolish also used to be a Totem of Death. Additionally, Totems of Undying stop a player from dying, as their name suggest; these are definitely Hades-like powers.

So Foolish has powers of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the arguably best known and most powerful Greek gods. We already know that he stands at about 23 feet (around 701 cm) tall, which is definitely inhuman. He has also stated to be a god/demigod who has been around for many years, even possibly more than Philza.

(also, note: Foolish and Dream, under Puffy, are brothers in a way... Foolish is a literal demigod/god with the above powers, and Dream has the power to summon the dead thanks to knowledge from the Book of Necromancy. kinda weird that there's a parallel here, isn't it?)

Additionally, Foolish's "summer home" contains elements of and is inspired by Egyptian mythology.

And the Syndicate. They use Greek mythology-related names; definitions taken from here.

Technoblade: Protesilaus A Greek hero in the Trojan War - Despite knowing an oracle had foretold his death at Troy, he was the first Greek warrior to step ashore and consequently the first to fall. He was able to kill a number of Trojans beforehand.

Philza: Zephyrus God of the West Wind, and one of the four seasonal Anemoi (wind gods), often depicted with a pair of wings.

Ranboo: Lethe Greek spirit of forgetfulness, oblivion, and concealment. The River Lethe was also a river in the Underworld which caused you to lose all memory upon touching it. According to Ovid this river flowed through Hypnos's (the Greek god of sleep) cave and induce drowsiness.

Niki: n/a

Unknown: Harpocrates God of silence, roses and secrets; the Greek interpretation of the Egyptian god Harpa-Khruti (Horus the Child).

These names may have foreshadowing... aside from the powers (if any) of the mythological beings related to the characters, they have other similarities: Philza is possibly immortal and his syndicate codename is a god; Ranboo is not human, and his syndicate codename is not human either; Technoblade has killed many of the SMP members, just as his syndicate codename did.

That's all I have for now. Not sure what can be done with this; if you have any other additions or ideas, let me know in the replies or reblogs!!

EDITS UNDER THE CUT AND IN MY REBLOGS

EDIT: PANDORA'S VAULT

How could I forget the giant fucking prison

Pandora's vault gets its name from the myth of Pandora's box/jar, in which all the evil of the world was stored in. If you're curious about the original myth, you can read about it here. The part I'm focusing on is Pandora's jar held all the evils in the world, which she eventually let out and left Hope trapped inside.

So what does this mean? I've come up with two possible meanings, though I'm sure there are more.

1. Dream = the evils in the world. This would also mean that Dream will be inevitably let out of Pandora's jar (vault), which is quite possible at the moment. A step further would be that Pandora (Sam), the person in control of the jar (vault), would be the one to let out the evil (Dream) and leave hope inside.

2. Dream = hope. This would mean that Dream is Hope, trapped inside Pandora's jar (vault). The prison's visitors may represent the evils and woes of the world, as they leave the jar (vault) and return to everything else while Hope (Dream) is trapped inside, unable to escape.

Dream called the cat (i believe it was "pussboy" according to Tommy) "hope". It may have been a reference to Hope in Pandora's jar; it might line up with the first possibility I listed, which is that the evil (Dream) will be let out while hope (the cat) would be left behind. In a way, because the cat died in the prison, it will never leave. And therefore, Hope (the cat) is forever trapped in Pandora's jar (vault).

Both are possible. And both depend on the point of view you look from.
