Blind AU part TWO

Part 1

[fanfics4allppl]

It is my firm belief (funky headcanon I just thought of) that in Expert Testimony, when Lyfrassir says "their clothing and weapons were utterly alien, and it took almost 20 years to capture them", it meant something along the lines of: Ivy, Raphaella, and Marius were standing in a battle ready stance, back to back, all dressed in very bad viking clothing because they listened to Tim about this, Ivy holding a book with both hands like a gun, Raphaella holding a water pistol, and Marius holding a frying pan, all while gaslighting the New Midgardians that yes, these are very real and very dangerous weapons, and no, they aren't afraid to use them, and the police force was too scared to do anything for two decades, but Lyf had to make it sound a bit more dignified for the report

What if Dream gave up the book?

In a blinding pain he just couldn’t bear ithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsmakeitstop! he hoped Quackity would fuck up and kill him on accident, then he begged for Quackity to just kill him, but he wouldn’t and in that excruciating moment Dream gave him what he wanted, filled with relief when Quackity rested a knife on his throat before sliding it across. There was no health potions or panic this time just ice cold death making his body go numb as he faded away, Quackity’s twisted laugher ringing in his ears.

But then he was back.

Quackity smirking in front of him “I wonder how many times someone can die before they don’t come back? Shall we test that, Dream? Hmm?” And Dream realized when his body hit the floor again, a sword plunged straight through his neck, that he had made the second biggest mistake of his life. The first was making Sam warden.

He watched Quackity finally float back across the lave, after death 16, after his detached head disappeared into a puff of smoke along with his body. He crawled out of the water on his hands and knees barely able to gain purchase on the floor entirely covered with blood too much blood for one living soul though that didn’t matter anymore.

He knew it was stupid to think there was any mercy in this hell. And yet, still when Sam showed up to glare down at him with nothing but disgust and distain, he hoped that maybe Sam would put him out of his misery and ban Quackity from bringing him back. For the safety of the server of course. But he didn’t.

On death 52, he thought immortality was overrated and he should’ve let Tommy kill him back in that bunker.

On death 88, he stopped moving unless forced by Sam or Quackity.

On death 100, the pain started lingering even after his body had healed from revival.

On death 133, he started praying to any god he could think of, even begging Philza’s wife, Lady Death, to help him.

On death 150, he started missing the torture before he gave up the book.

On death 167, he wondered if anyone noticed his death messages littering the chat or if they simply didn’t care.

On death 200, DreamXD showed up to watch.

On death 236, he learned that hope and mercy were nothing but fairy tales.

On death 250, he wondered if Quackity would ever grow bored.

On death 278, he knew he wouldn’t…

On death 300, he learned that gods did grow bored.

There was no death 301.

He didn’t come back no matter how many books they burned. Only his ghost remained. Appearing at spawn, desaturated, devoid of all color, countless black marks coating his skin, making him near unrecognizable. The only thing that gave his identity away was the distinct sound of his voice if you managed to get him to say something. It was no louder than an echoing hoarse whisper drifting through the wind.

He wandered the server, a hollow specter haunting the land. They say he seemed to be looking for something, but no one knew what.

He never found it.

[misty-doodles]

Personally, I think Sam in the shapeshifting au would only step in if Quackity ever copied him. Sam is does not ever want to imagine himself as the one in that cell and desperately needs that separation between himself and Quackity's actions. Hearing Dreams screams that day, hearing his own name spilling from his mouth with such pained desperation– never again.

Btw this is what I was drawing when my classmate recognized Quackity in my art. I didn't love how the orange of Q's wings became muddled with the orange of Dream's jacket, so I made a black and white version, hope you like it anon <3

No bottoms yet because I had no ideas and am nearly blind from pain rn 👍

cdream anatomy thing!!

pre-prison.... heh... 😼... would (hj)

he keeps his hair buzzed within less than a centimeter of his scalp at all times, very neat military style. his scars still cause him discomfort and pain sometimes but he massages them and uses some meds (almost never though because pain makes you stronger and all that, loser) to deal with that. he is VERY very strong but he isn't one of those bodybuilders where you can see their every vein, he does have a fair amount of definition though. not nearly enough of a tummy, bro needs lessons from ctechno! he is also hairier pre-prison because a lot of it falls out while in prison.

cpunz is the one getting to see him here btw. they're going to uh. wrestle. for strength and training purposes

on that note he does NOT take ANYTHING off EVER. like sure, not the mask, but not his armor either unless he really has to, not his shirt, his gloves, etc etc. its not really a self-conscious thing it's more of an intimidation and an "I don't want people asking me stupid questions" thing.

hoooo boy. post-prison slightly recovering cdream. you know the drill yapping and lore under cut

so obviously he's skinnier, but he still retained a decent amount of muscle from decades of building it. he just can't use it very well anymore because his nerve endings are a little fried and it's hard for him to make his limbs work; he's just really, really stiff. on most days in prison, towards the beginning at least, he could force himself to try and do some sort of calisthenics exercises to at least attempt to maintain his strength and also as a form of giving himself control and a routine. he would also hoard his potatoes and then pretend to be sick in order to convince sam to give him more to try and keep his weight up, which only half-worked. his hair in prison was NASTY, greasy and matted as hell, so realistically he would shave it all off asap but so sue me drawing him with long hair is kinda fun. his hair is entirely gray, with only a few streaks of white left. he's much paler, of course. and I found out the other day that apparently with severe scurvy/collagen degradation, even years-old scars can reopen, because scarring is actually a continuous process that needs to be maintained to keep scars closed. so if you were wondering why his scars are so much redder and fresher-looking, that's the answer :)

cdream in my au deals with the torture itself 'fine'--former gladiator, former soldier, he's been through pain a thousand times (that's what he tells himself, anyway). quackity doesn't do a whole lot that's especially new to him. does he LIKE it? no (masochism reserved only for punz). but can he, for the most part, keep a straight face? yeah. what really starts to get to him is the humiliation of it. it doesn't help that quackity of all people is torturing him, someone whose ass he could flay alive if he was free, and that the person allowing the torture is a guy he so foolishly trusted. quackity figures out after a couple of weeks that what cdream really can't stand is being laughed at, so he makes absolutely sure to do it whenever possible. it makes dream lose his mind until he exhausts himself from anger, and that's when quackity steps in. as he gets weaker, quackity starts taking off the chains after baiting him into exhaustion, just to really drive the point home.

eventually, dream's hatred of being humiliated plus really starting to get sick of the constant pain overcomes his desire not to give in, and he starts addressing quackity as 'sir' and becomes very bland and submissive in his responses to him. quackity likes this, because finally dream is showing some respect, and doesn't like it, because he thinks it's secretly an act, and also dream still doesn't act like he's in enough pain.

when dream gets out, his modus operandi is "it happened yeah but I don't give a shit and it didn't do anything to me." #denier, as soon as he's with punz he immediately eats a cow's worth of steak and tries to rope punz into a sparring session. punz hesitantly accepts because dream is smart, he knows his limits, right? and then immediately after he throws up, passes out, and spends the next few days sick. then he gets up and goes to eat steak again. this cycle repeats a few more times until punz finally manages to convince him that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to take a rest day, or week, or month. it's a sticky situation for punz because dream is especially volatile at the moment and if he feels like he's being pitied or treated as weak he's probably going to run out to prove he isn't and get his ass killed in the process. punz has SO many toxic views on strength and weakness to try to get dream to unpack. but then again on the other hand you have the problem of punz not wanting to challenge dream because he believes dream is right all the time. so that's yet another struggle for the pair of them. and nothing, absolutely nothing makes dream more angry and aggressive than needing help to walk and sit and shower. he hates it like nothing else, and he had a very bad reaction when punz first suggested getting him crutches. he refuses and continues to stagger around insisting he doesn't need help until his legs give out and punz has to catch him. like with the resting thing, this happens again and again until eventually he agrees when punz points out that it's a way for him to be self-sufficient. he works on slowly strengthening his muscles until he can walk properly, but he still needs help, so the pair of them make some leg braces that work with and are concealed by his armor. "well that seems like he's healing a little fast--" yes you are correct he is and it is not for any good reasons. on a completely unrelated note I'm calling my AU Metamorphosis

[islandlightt]

i’m trying to find a way to verbalize this but like c!dream’s worst fear is being alone, right? so in a way, the introduction of c!quackity’s torture must’ve given him a sick sense of relief. like “i’m still here, people still see me, i still have an effect on the world.” i imagine that after each session he’d dread c!quackity’s return but also fear whether anyone would ever come back to see him again.
