headcanon: d became a doctor is not only to cure the void of g's body but also because he's crack-up him too many times. 😂
My stepmom lost her job, which was my household's only stable source of money. Dollars are worth a lot when converted in Brazilian reais, so I'm going to reopen commissions. Please reblog and dont like
could I ask why you feel negative about this number situation? you don't have to answer if you don't want to! :]
yeah i can talk about it, but it’s going to be negative so for anyone who wants to avoid negativity, i’ll put my answer under here :)
well for starters let’s look at the obvious.
there is now a number out there that you can apparently get a response on from dream himself. what’s going to happen? a lot of fake screenshots, with no way to prove what’s fake and what’s not, because there would not be enough hours in the day for dream to be able to disprove all of them. it is unbearable to me how easy it is to fake screenshots. and it’s probably going to be a bunch of ridiculous things, but there’s also going to be potentially damaging things, there’s going to be people who just believe everything they see and spread rumours around. i think it’s a very silly service, personally. but that’s just my opinion.
in terms of the fans - i am uncomfortable with how many people i’ve seen saying ‘lol i just provided all my real information, oh well it’s dream!’... it doesn’t matter that it’s dream. dream is using a SERVICE that he himself did not create. any and every service out there is in danger of cyber attacks, hackers, anything. it’s not trustworthy, even if you trust dream himself, because if something bad were to happen, it would be something completely out of his hands.
and the other point is a bit deeper, and i’m going to use the term we have been seeing everywhere that wow i never thought i would be talking about it, but.
texting is something you do between friends. between family, between co-workers, between partners. when you start to ‘text’ celebrities, the lines between your admiration for them, and your normal life can start to blur.
i really hate to use this term, but this is exactly what parasocial relationships are about, and it’s dangerous. it can build up slowly without one even noticing, and people can start to feel dependant, or entitled - especially if they’re struggling with issues mentally.
of course like if you can differentiate between these lines just fine then there’s no issue, i’m not saying everyone who’s texting the number is engaging in a parasocial relationship because that’s not how it works. it’s people who are impressionable, who use these platforms as outlets, who will share their vulnerabilities, who can consider themselves closer to a celebrity than they actually are. and it can make people obsessive, because you’ve always watched this person on youtube, and now you also watch them on twitch, and then you also follow them on twitter and you tweet them and dm them, you can buy their merchandise and you can send them stuff and receive a letter back - and now you can also text them?
dream making himself ‘available’ on just about every platform in my opinion is just not the smartest thing to do. i understand he comes from a good place i do, i understand he enjoys giving to fans. but i just really worry about like.. where does it stop? where’s the line?
i’ve seen loads of celebrities do these community texting things, and i’ve never ever approved of it. because personally i just feel like it begins to blur the lines between your reality and your interests. it’s fine for those of us who are old enough to know better. but there are plenty of young people in the fandom who are not as woke as they like to think they are.
i apologise if i worded myself badly. it’s 2:48am and i should have been asleep hours ago lmao
Something people neglect to mention is that dream and George are both big cat people and you now damn well if they get together they're gonna be that gay couple with a shit ton of cats.
