Dreblr Survey Results 2024!
What's that? This is 2 months late? Well, better 2 months than 3, I guess. Thanks to all 137 of you who filled out this Very important form! Let's see how similar the results are to 2023.
Most popular characters
Dream (90.5% of voters)
Technoblade (82.5% of voters)
Sam (43.1% of voters)
Rivals on top, no surprises there, but look at Sam sneaking into third! He was all the way down in fifth last year, behind DreamXD and Punz.
Most unpopular characters
Tommy (51.2% of voters)
Quackity (43.1% of voters)
Jack (39.0% of voters)
This is exactly the same as last year lmao. My poor Quackity… he did nothing wrong. But on another note, I'd love to know which 2 members of dreblr secretly hate Dream.
Most popular arcs
Prison (74.5% of voters)
Doomsday (58.4% of voters)
Post-Prison & Finales (49.6% of voters)
I actually changed around some of the categories for this question, but the results are still the same. People really love the prison arc! Special kudos to the person who wrote "DOOMSDAY" as a separate answer to, y'know, Doomsday.
Most popular ships
Dreamnoblade (63.6% of voters)
Drunz (54.5% of voters)
Awesamdream (52.3% of voters)
We have a new winner! DNB takes the crown, with drunz falling down to second. Not only that, but awesamdream has replaced DNF for third! It's interesting how much can change in a year. Amusingly, I added more options for this question than last time, trying to account for Any ship I've seen get even slightly talked about, but congratulations because you still managed to come up with new ones. Fundywasfound? Grianwastaken? Y'all just want to see me fail.
Most popular duos
Dream & Technoblade (91.2% of voters)
Dream & Punz (55.5% of voters)
Dream & George, Dream & Sapnap (47.4% of voters)
Ooh, Dream & George has managed to squeeze in with Dream & Sapnap for tied third! But Dream & Sam is just one vote behind them. It's interesting that George makes it into top 3 duos and not ships. Basically though, dreblr is still utterly obsessed with Techno.
Most popular factions
Syndicate (75.8% of voters)
Greater Dream SMP (49.2% of voters)
Kinoko Kingdom (29.5% of voters)
Kinoko Kingdom has managed to overtake the Eggpire for third by 1 vote—the complete inverse of last year! But the Syndicate is still far away in first.
Most popular places
Pandora's Vault (73.3% of voters)
Arctic Commune (54.8% of voters)
Community House (50.4% of voters)
Pandora's Vault has overtaken the Arctic Commune for first, and by quite a wide margin! Even with more locations added to the options, the Vault has managed to pull an even higher percentage than anything last time. Poor Walltown though.
Fandom behaviors
Wow, we have pretty much the same number of artists and writers! I love the variety of things we do here. It's just a little concerning that apparently only one of us exists.
Joining the fandom
The New L'Manberg era is still the most popular time for people to have started watching, but there's a good spread between different times. I'm still in awe of the people who managed to catch up and join in after the finale streams.
Levels of interest
So… I won't lie, this looks a little worse than before, kjdhfksjh. But not by much! We're still going strong. Over 75% of us rated our interest in the fandom a 3/5 or above. Thank you so much to everyone who keeps this space alive.
Current content consumption
It turns out that the overwhelming majority of us are still watching DSMP content creators! The percentage that doesn't isn't even big enough to show up on the charts.
Most popular content creators
Dream (90.6% of voters)
George (74.2% of voters)
Sapnap (71.9% of voters)
Surprise! Okay, I guess it's not too surprising that dreblr watches the Dream Team. Technoblade also remains very popular after all these years, and so does Sam.
The wider fandom
It looks like most of us are pretty settled into the DSMP fandom here on tumblr, with the majority considering it one of our main fandoms and following at least a few dozen DSMP-related blogs. We also generally prefer the lore to the creators' other content or like both equally—shocking for the lore-oriented side of the fandom—but we're pretty hesitant to engage with the wider DSMP fandom.
Artist appreciation!
For this section, people were asked to link some of their favorite art pieces, fics, and blogs that they thought deserved more recognition. I won't be sharing every one of them here (and I haven't read through them either)—but I will be sharing a completely randomized handful of the nominations. I basically stuck them all in a blender and these are the ones it spat out. Go and show them some love!

Closing comments
The exact wording of the final question was "Say anything at all! But probably something c!Dream-related!" And it's up to you how well y'all achieved that. Here's pretty much everything you said!
Babygirl did nothing wrong
i miss c!dream. i miss my wife tails. i miss her a lot.
One of my favourite fandom experiences was that night Dream released the snake monologue and we all collectively went nuts for hours. It's such a vivid and cherished memory.
C!dnf is real and tragic
if all of dreblr pooled our resources, do you think we could get c!dream a house and he could finally be not homeless?
I wish we had gotten to see more of him in prison!
I love him and his sad little mindset that he needs to be the bad guy ti make everything better
c!Dream is my evil meow meow and he did nothing wrong
hes so hot
C!dream was right to be angry at l'manburg and there we no freedom in there country.
he needs a break. and closure. but firstly a break
he's so hot
*gives him a warm blanket and some cookies because he needs a break*
Homeless teletubby
meow meow :3 (don't look at me, that was him)
i really love c!wilbur a lot, dreambur is a super interesting dynamic to me and i wish there was more content of it (i understand that a lot of dreblr is drunz or dnb centric and i do love a good bit of dnb, but man... c!dreambur my beloved)
c!sam and c!dream should kiss. Little smooch.
c!dream apologist til the end HE WAS PEAK
C!Dream my beloved.
I stand with my canceled blorbo!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
put him back in the prison, his trauma made him funnier
Yeet
c!dream being a previous scene or emo kid and reverting back to that after the prison arc real
cDream gets pegged btw just to let you know
c!dream my beloved (and cc!dream lol)
I want that green block man so effing bad…
I want to put him in a bottle and shake him around
c!dream is my fav whore
Tommy and George both caused the problems and I want some good Dream content that’s not just ‘he’s evil’
We should all make c!Dream sonas. :)
c!dnf my favorite tragedy god bless (<- on the verge of tears)
c!Dream was an idiot, but I loved him anyway.
Like a blob, he is very squishy and malleable
Bites him bites him bites him GRGRRRRR GR GR GRAH GRGRGR
Pookie bear snookums sweetie pie i have taken the most basic fundamentals of his personalith and inserted them into myself to become him
c!Dream is my babygirl and he deserved better!
cdream hot
my bbg
DREAM IS THE BEST GOOBER THAT HAS EVER GOOBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still very proud of my C!Dream cosplay and I will never retire that one even if the whole world hates on it.
That Dream/Quackity ship was added for me thank you o7 /hj
box
They hated him for being green
It doesn't have much to do with C!Dream but I love every single person on dreblr, They are all wonderful people and have made me feel at home, I would like to say much more but I don't want to get sentimental, btw c!dream autism
Man I wish that c!Dream and DreamXD had more interactions. Idk why, I just think their interactions would've been fun
I can't do the reccs rn, but I do think that most of the reason so many people see c!Dream as The Big Bad Evil Guy is because they aren't thinking of him as a person, and aren't thinking about what it might take to push a generally nice person *this far*. Incidentally people are always acting the same way to cc!Dream but that man has the patience of a gd monk
I don't give a fuck about spirit
Hes hot and he never did anything wrong
I like cdream, he should have commited more crimes bc it would have been funny
Fun fact! I know the exact day I entered the fandom: it was 20 january 2021, the day of the disc war finale! I watched it on youtube and then the streams
he did nothing wrong btw
c!Dream should have joined the syndicate send tweet
a role deserving of oscar
Dreggggggggssssssssssssss Who said that
Pandora’s Vault is so big it takes up 85% of my brain. And yes my sanity is in fact trapped in the main cell. help.
I just think. C!Rivals. You know?
Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our little database! I know the form was… quite long. Look forward to another year of c!Dream!
