i want to film homestuck mvs to my favorite songs i have this huge unbearable urge to and its absolutely insane i cant even function anymore without the sudden need to film an mv to some fuckin song by fallout boy or whatever the hell
I said I was gonna pop off about The Dream Verdict and all of that so here we ARE babey!!!! I have a lot of feelings on this topic and I couldn’t just...not, honestly.
Firstly, I want to start out by talking about Dream himself a little. I know a lot of people love to hate Dream, and that’s very easy to do because I think he suffers from not being great at wording things sometimes and comes off badly. This isn’t about whether or not he’s a good person, though. He is a content creator who works ridiculously hard to perfect everything he releases, and works exceptionally hard within the MCYT community. George and Sapnap have said previously that for prior speedruns, Dream has disappeared for months or so to train. He doesn’t stream the Dream SMP at all, giving other creators a chance to build their platforms (most notably Tommy, I would say). When it comes to speedrunning, a lot of people have taken a greater interest in it because they’re fans of Dream. He’s genuinely done a lot of good both for the community and his friends, and always has a good word for them.
Now onto the cheating allegations. I was speaking to @itsfundy today and they went through the main ways he could have cheated:
This post goes into a little more detail.
It makes no real sense for Dream to cheat, honestly. Outside of speedrunning, he’s got a lot of success — his manhunts, the Dream SMP, MCC — he doesn’t really need to speedrun. I would hazard a guess to the majority of his fans coming from Dream SMP content, and getting into his other content as a part of that. He has a huge reputation to maintain, and I just don’t really understand why he would risk throwing it all away for a speedrun. He doesn’t need to speedrun for entertainment value — that’s the primary purpose of manhunts and the Dream SMP, so that reasoning personally makes no sense to me.
There’s also the fact of the mod team being heavily biased against Dream.
You cannot call an investigation “fair” and “unbiased” when people who will publicly say these things are involved. You need independent, outside parties who are not biased in favour of either party.
The release of information was also highly unprofessional. Two months of investigation, and a 29-page document released the day before MCC13 and the Streamy Awards. It’s awfully convenient for the verdict to be made the day before two major events for Dream, and honestly is pitiful for “two months of investigation”. I’d be unsurprised if they finished it a while ago, honestly. Dream hit 14 million a few days ago, and yet in Geosquare’s video he says 12 million. Seems like a weird mistake to make, especially when 13 million wasn’t too long ago either.
I’m no mathematician, so I won’t go into that side of things, but I have spoken to a few statistics students (degree level and upwards) who would agree the sampling selection makes no sense and is inherently biased against Dream. Here’s a few screenshots from their explanation as to the sample selection:
It’s cherrypicking available data, at it’s core, and makes no sense.
Really, Dream had far more to lose than gain from cheating, and I personally don’t think he’s done anything wrong. This whole ordeal seems more theatrical than professional on a lot of levels, and I genuinely feel bad for Dream. He’s passionate about this community, has done a world of good for it, and this is the thanks he gets. Please remember that these creators are human, and he’s probably under a lot of stress right now. Dream is one of those creators that a lot of people love to hate, but at the end of the day, regardless of my personal opinions about him, I think he’s truly innocent.
people who deserve to win a streamy tonight: dream
the way tommy and dream are both coping in such a toxic way, how tommy misses his home and dream misses his friends, and how they have nowhere else to turn...hits different bro
fuck @tmblrdream
anyway i’m carrying on from this because head full many thoughts
i was talking to a lot of pals during the stream and we were all like ))): tommy for most of it, but it kinda hit me how dream is also trying to cope from how much he talks about george. he’s suffering, but he won’t make it so abundantly obvious because it’s such a shot on his pride. so he’s manipulating tommy because he needs someone, needs someone to stay, and if he gets tommy where he wants him he won’t leave. and it’s not perfect, far from it, but it’s someone. tommy knows what he’s going through him, they’re both lonely and it’s anything but healthy, but sometimes all you need is somebody else and they can offer each other that for just a little while. he knows what he’s doing, but i think there’s desperation motivating his actions more than pure malice.
dream is too volatile for his own good, and becoming god is the loneliest achievement one can attain. he still needs someone, and he’s realising it all too late.
STREAMY WINNER DREAM SUPREMACY 💚💚💚
