C!dream Is Raised By C!puffy On Her Ship, Around Raucous Sailors Who Regale Him With Tales Of Their Adventures,

Stay up till 5am for the mcc or wake up at 5am for the mcc, that is the question

An angsty pandoras vault idea I’ve had for a while... warning for death and general suffering

Fun fact about lava and volcanic eruptions in general, the most dangerous part is usually the gases released! Volcanoes are actually huge pollutants due to how much carbon dioxide is released. A number of websites warn about being in low lying areas around lava, due to that CO2 and other gases gathering, and leading to suffocation. (Link)

Many peoples version of c!sam depicts him wearing a gas mask, right? Would creeper hybrids even need the same air as humans/whatever c!dream is? The same goes for c!Bad and c!sapnap, often shown as a demon and blaze hybrid respectively. The headcanon doesn’t work quite as well with c!quackity. But what if c!sam doesn’t lend him just his pick axe, but his gas mask as well?

A pandoras vault that never lets c!dream take a full breath of air. The moment he respawns, he begins suffocating once again. His cell is a death trap.

Maybe c!sam learns the total allotment of air available, and times his visitors so that no one will notice the punishment that c!dream endures.

C!techno is often shown as a piglin or piglin hybrid. He grew up next to the lava lakes of the nether. His body is designed for these conditions. The torture he endures is in watching c!dream suffocate in front of him, over and over, with no way to help.

On the whole who’s older, c!wilbur or c!techno debate I may have overthought my answer...

I love the idea of c!techno not knowing his birthday and choosing c!wilburs’ as his own? And this of course leads to many wonderful angst opportunities! But then I got to thinking.. how would c!techno know his birthday?? HOW DO PIGLINS TELL TIME??!!

There is no day/night cycle in the nether! Clocks don’t work!! There aren’t even seasons! But then I decided to just think up some cool piglin cultural practices that might work.

First of all piglins don’t have any sort of sleep schedule. They sleep when they want! The only real requirement is making sure that there are always some people awake and on lookout duty, and certain events might mean that an entire community is awake all at one time, but other then that it’s a case by case basis.

C!techno still has the strangest sleeping habits (at least to the overworlders around him). Whenever someone mentions their sleep schedule around him he gets incredibly confused. He can fall asleep whenever he needs to, in any light conditions (This comes in handy when he’s in pandoras vault). He may function similarly to someone with non-24-hour sleep-wake-disorder but I need to do more research before making that comparison! (Although that would certainly make an interesting point about the concept of the social model of disability? I may make a post in the future!).

How would piglins determine age? My idea around this is that age is determined by milestones. There are words in the piglin language that mean ‘walking age’ or ‘talking age’, and are used to refer to a child once they’ve reached that milestone. This may also mean that their society has a greater understanding of how different people mature at different speeds, that two children might meet their early milestones all at the same time, that may change as they get older, or vice versa. In the case of certain disabilities it would be looked at on a case by case basis, and if a certain milestone is skipped that wouldn’t be an issue! I imagine that ‘tusking age’ would be the most important, and correspond with the overworlds’ idea of adulthood. There are so many cool add ons that could be incorporated into this concept! For example ‘teaching age’ could be bestowed upon a piglin once they’ve grown to old to participate in combat, and instead act as teachers and community leaders.

When c!techno is asked his age, and then responds with a piglin word, everyone is incredibly confused. C!techno is then absolutely baffled by the overworld concept of age. He asks if these numbers always correspond to someones maturity, and is further confused when told no. Because if that was the case then why is so much importance placed on them! Mind you, he’s spent a while around an immortal so that definitely didn’t help his understanding.

If anyone has any additions to this I’d love to hear them! Worldbuilding is so much fun. I also hope there aren’t any glaring errors in this, but please let me know if there are

Being abusive and being mentally ill are not mutually exclusive

I don’t think anyone has to like c!dream. If hating him is how you enjoy the story-go for it! If the prison arc was cathartic for you, I’m glad the story could provide that.

But do not insult others for having a different view of the characters, and for the love of god don’t say that the torture and abuse he experienced was justified. Or at the very least, tag your crit.

For those who’d like to minimize the impact of solitary confinement, here’s two excerpts from an article compiling accounts of those who were subjected to it.

‘From its earliest use in this country, we've known what isolation does to the minds of human beings. The first all-solitary-confinement prison in the U.S., in Auburn, New York, was shut down in 1822, after only 18 months of operation, when the governor visited and saw that every one of its 26 prisoners had become psychotic.’

‘Within the first week, I started talking to myself. I would think I was seeing stuff out of the corner of my eye. I would turn my head real fast, like I saw something in my cell. The hallucinations—it's not something a lot of us talk about, but all of us had them real bad. You see somebody else in your cell. You hear voices on the stair or coming through the vent.-Nelson’

‘The messages in media have a very real impact on people’

Special thanks to @squimp who helped me SO much with designing Garak’s outfit!!!

So many people argue that c!dream being imprisoned and tortured is best for c!tommy... is it really? Surely the most reassuring thing for him would be knowing that his abuser has been rehabilitated and no liber want to hurt him? Instead he just lives everyday unsure if c!dream will escape and hurt him again. Perpetuating the cycle of violence, focusing on the punishment of crimes rather then the prevention of them future ones, hurts everybody, including c!tommy.

"im sorry to tell you but this is unfortunately fetish art :( " you’re a coward and a fool. tell me what about eroticism makes it lose value as a piece of art. tell me in what way is lust a less worthy feeling to be depicted in art than anger or joy or sadness or any other human emotion. why did you like it before and why do you not like it now? what changed? why does it upset you? what makes it bad now, what makes it gross, what makes it wrong? do you reject what you dont understand? do you let your gut reaction dictate what you deem bad? what you deem immoral? whats allowed to exist and what isnt?
