Oh Sam and Quackity would DEFINITELY get more openly playful with Dream once they’re both on the same page :) Cuddle piles become a regular occurrence when they’re alone, and so do tickle piles. Sam usually acts as part of the mattress to lay the prisoner against while Quackity does the actual tickling, but he’ll sometimes get some spots while Quackity gets others, or he’ll hold Dream’s hands and squeeze them while Quackity presses kisses (or, when he’s feeling a bit meaner, nibbles and raspberries) into his tummy, or he’ll even switch things up and have Dream cling to Quackity like a koala while the duck hybrid reciprocates the hug to hold him still — a position that leaves Dream’s legs fully splayed out and vulnerable for Sam to mess with.

Both of them spend these sessions cooing at him, too, bantering back and forth about what shade of red they’re making him (“That’s cherry, not scarlet!”), who can do a better job (“I make him laugh harder than you!” “You always make him cry!”), what sorts of things they’d like to do to him (“I wanna kiss his tummy next. Look how it’s all quivery and shy!” “Really? You don’t want to knuckle his ribs? Look at them, they’re practically begging for it!”) and — of course — how cute he is (“Man, I wish you’d smile like this all the time.”)

Dream has no idea how to feel about this change considering that it coincides with talk about upcoming torture techniques. He doesn’t like the fact that any physical touch nowadays is enough to make him melt immediately: he was starved of it for so long, and now it’s always so gentle he can’t help but move to soak in it. Or more accurately, he doesn’t like that he likes it, because he knows that it’s going to be taken away sooner or later. (At least Quackity and Sam haven’t noticed yet, he thinks.)

:((((( nawwwww dweamieee. i see you’re touching on the idea of dream not being too fond of his new vulnerabilities 🙌🏼 an absolute favourite theme of mjne :D

im gonna post your other ask about eating habits here in case some people don’t want to read about food (tw // eating + body image changes below the “🥐🥐🥐”

(but also cute discussion below first 😁)

there would be so many things that would change dream in ways that would cause him to think of himself as weaker. like apart from the very obvious lack in strength, stamina and agility (which he’d experience in sam’s wrestling + cuddle sessions), but also the fact that he’s touch starved, craving human affection,, and would have lost most of his muscle mass. he’d barely recognise himself in the mirror. and i feel would constantly forget that he’s not as fit as he once was

but omg i am so heckin thrilled to hear that he gets good baths and diets 😭 and my goodddd it’s so cool that tickly cuddle piles kinda combine two major vulnerability things that he’d experience into one (adorable appearance + melting into affection)

i feel cdream is emotionally sound enough to be able to accept himself for losing weight in prison,, and would be able to logically understand why he’d be craving touch. but that doesn’t mean that he’d be any happier about it all,, and it certainly doesn’t mean that he’s going to attempt to move on from his ‘weak phase’ as soon as he can. it also would probably not have been ‘part of the plan’ to reach such a state post-prison, that he can’t even exercise his way up to full strength. and in fact instead ends up just looking even more weak and vulnerable

i love the idea of quackity and sam cooing over him in a cuddle pile,, and just gently trying to help him accept that the changes he’s undergoing are good. the kisses on his most insecure spots 🥺 because yes,, how frustrating it would be for him that by gaining weight and losing his frail appearance, he ends up looking more squishy and adorable instead…

and yes this one always kills me,, another one of dream’s perceived weakness is that when getting all these compliments, coos and tickles,, is that he can’t help but melt into it :(( like even though he’d understand why he’d be logically enjoying the tickly cuddle sessions,, it wouldn’t mean that he wouldn’t despise how weak it makes him him feel. like he can’t help but melt into the tickles and coos. he can’t help his blush. he can’t help but fluster when sam and quackity tell him he’s cute. he despises the lack of control and yet simultaneously craves the escape and reassurance :((

it kinda links back to the time skip ahead that you were talking about,, where dream tries to claim that sam was just treating him like a little stress toy or something,, like trying to play it off that he hated it. and yet despite everything he hates missing it even more. it was nice, he just struggles to come to terms with it.
