oh god holy shit for the last anon. i kinda. agree with that take about the thing about people being ‘annoyed’ at tubbo.
anyway!! my newest hot takes… ah shiz let me grab my drawer from wherever it canonically is…
c!dream’s motive isn’t actually… that compelling? he’s a villain and it’s enjoyable to have one, but we don’t SEE his pov and so the motive i hear the most is ‘he just wants order‘ ‘he wants a big happy family’ which. obviously not going about it the right way, and it doesn’t match up all to well for me?
idk about my take this time tbh i’ll be back with a better one, do not fear!
HELLO MSFRN. I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL.
i completely agree. i just completely agree. personally i think c!dream is one of the most interesting villains on the smp, even tho i can't manage to sympathize with him, and part of that is because he's just capable of such evil and when he tries to justify his justification doesn't,,, fit quite right at the space left by all the destruction he's caused. it's very interesting to me.
"i was protecting the server" by killing people and destroying land????
"i want a big happy family" and you're getting that by killing people and creating conflict?????
like. it just doesn't make sense with his actions or with his character and it drives me up the wall because like - what does he actually want? is he just evil? is he making these motives up? and i don't think he is, because he doesn't have anyone else to convince anymore. if he truly has let go of all attachments, he doesn't need to prove himself as a good guy to anyone, which makes me think he either actually still cares and wants to justify his own evil to himself, or he's hiding some other bigger motive he doesn't want anyone to know about.
god i just have so many thoughts about c!dream, because looking at the big picture he's just a character that leaves so many questions. he leaves so many doubts. i could try and take his brain apart for DAYS he's just so interesting
