#warden sam critical

[the-final-sif]

Hot take but this fandom really needs to get over us writing c!dream as an omega (to match cc!dream) because it doesn’t fit whatever they’ve made up about his characterization or “traditional” omega traits

“C!dream’s tyranny is such toxic alpha behavior” boo alphaphobia and lacks critical thinking

“An omega would never hurt a pup, exhale is-“ booo you think omega’s should only be good pure characters and that pup fucked the whole narrative up

“Making c!dream an omega makes c!sam and c!quackity seem like awful people and manipulates the audience into excusing his behavior” is being an omega the only thing wrong about the prison???? Not the torture and power dynamics???

It’s that having the prisoner be an omega makes the alpha warden look bad an somehow ruins ur weird revenge fantasy with omega c!quackity 🙄 drantis need to learn how to have fun an imagine c!dream in a soft blanket while experimenting with the revival book

Honestly, I agree with you entirely, I think people need to be okay with the image of c!Dream doing murder in his nest as he experiments with the forces of life and death!! Don't even get me started on people claiming that DreamXD has to be an alpha.

One of the chief themes of Les Mis is the interrogation of the structure of society: what is a just society, what are the obligations of the society to its people (and people to its society), and, perhaps most crucially of all, especially with respect to the specific drama of Valjean and Javert, what does it mean to be a just person in an unjust society?

One of the most fascinating parts of dsmp to me is the divorce of society from character: characters all come from societies, presumably; all are marked by societies or at least what they think of as societies; most have some kind of vision of what they think a society or a collective ought to look like. But critically, the world is empty. To speak of dsmp society is to speak of something that does not exist, or that exists only in aspiration. The microcosm of a society is not a society: the governments created are new structures of power, seeking to enforce their will on individuals not through the steady insinuation of social strictures, but through brute force.

There is no brutal cycle of poverty and prison-industrial complex like the one that destroyed Valjean. Pandora’s Vault is, instead, nothing more and nothing less than the brutal enactment of a vision held by a few men. There were no laws and there was no Warden until Sam made himself so.

Which is to say that c!Sam is Javert, and Sam is not Javert at all: Sam seeks an externalization of his morality, like Javert does, but without a society to cast his mooring upon, it’s clearer than ever that Sam’s sense of justice is built on sand. In a place without law and scripture and verse, violation of the law equates more or less to “doing something Sam thinks is wrong.”

Dream is ostracized and punished and cast off because he is a convenient target for the group to take out their ire on, and he is categorically denied any chance at rehabilitation. He is an undesirable, like Valjean. He is considered by polite company to be utterly irredeemable; it is in fact a method of virtue signaling to emphasize just how irredeemable he is. Most importantly, like Valjean he poses an existential threat to the underpinnings of this system of justice, both figuratively and literally.

Unlike Valjean, Dream is not offered silver candlesticks until the very end of his arc, rather than near its beginning. I doubt he was about to decide to become mayor. And yet this is the only way he could take a step off the fateful ledge, the same ledge Valjean teetered upon.

Background: Ponk was one of the founding members of land and has an obsession with lemon trees. This passion was (probably) transmitted to him by an ancestor that lived in a “certain village that went mad”. This passion of his was however always ruined by certain people and he was forced to relocate many times. After building Lemon City he started strange rituals with cats and formed an alliance with Schaltt becoming his doctor. After many attempt to reason with him and trying to cure his lung problems he switched sides and joined the revolution. After many events he was corrupted by the egg and defended the dark being from Tommy, then went to Foolish summer home and blew up a building only to receive the godly smite of the demigod. Despite his friendship with Awsamdude, this did not stop the Green warden from severing one of Ponk’s hand (and their friendship) when he accidentally stole some backup keycards from his prison. After escaping his captor, he was found by Niki whom healed his wounds and gave him food. After the events of the Red Banquet, Ponk seemingly freed himself from the Egg influence and fled to Foolish house asking for forgiveness and shelter. Ponk immediately built the Supreme Fridge to appease the demigod and the two started to rebuild a relationship. After the start of the L’Sandberg lawsuit Ponk decided to build a house away from Foolish home and asked Sam suggestions about the lawsuit. After a while, Foolish and Sam went to a secret date and when Ponk discovered this he felt betrayed and isolated himself like a hermit to then rebuild their friendship after a short while. One day, as the Lawsuit for L’Sandberg apparently died out when Foolish blew up the wall built by BBH, Ponk decided to celebrate in secret the event and prepared an invitation for both Foolish and Sam. After ensuring that no one would notice his movements, he went for their houses with the cover of the night. As he walked, however he still felt in despair over the fact that while under the influence of the Egg he still caused anguish to many. He slammed his amputated arm to the wall and cried painful tears, unable to hold back. “Painful, yet redeemable. Your anguish is real, but can be healed. You wish to change that, yes?” A voice spoke from the shadows, Ponk became immediately alerted, yet he knew words of this kind: the same the Egg whispered in his ears while controlled. “They have already accepted.” Who? Who did accept? Foolish? Sam? The Eggipire? “If you wish to change your fate, it is simple: come find me. If you can.” Ponk hesitated, but he lost and recovered many times over the years, so many scars and yet no way out, this was a one-in-a-lifetime chance. He dried his tears and rushed toward the voice only to see the world change around him and seeing his lost arm become a robotic one. A bamboo forest welcomed him, the sounds of animals around the canes… and a beeping sound from his arm. An icon of Awsamdude flickered from his wrist with an arrow pointing toward him. “I guess this is what you call a start.” And not soon after he vanished in the woods.

C3E50 - reaction

Not going to trawl through the rest of tumblr tonight as I’ve got an episode of Columbo to finish but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BEAU AND CALEB BEAU AND CALEB MY TWO FAVORITES FROM THE NEIN IT’S BEAU AND CALEB

You know how people say ‘you wouldn’t believe the noise I made’?  I always assumed that was the same as typing lol, you might feel the feels but your face is neutral as you type.  BUT I LITERALLY PAUSED THE EPISODE AND EMITTED HIGH PITCHED HALF SHRIEKS FOR LIKE A GOOD TWO MINUTES.  (was watching with my mom and she was laughing at me freaking out)

WE FUCKING CALLED IT!!  We even called the dice rolls being for the Shadowfell team!!!

*deep breath*  Okay okay, I’m calm, I’m calm.

Matt!Beau was pretty good for the most part, definite lines I could hear as Beau, but there were times that Matt drifted into more generic NPC speech and it lost the Beau edge for me.  I actually caught on to it being Beau MOMENTS before the players did, when he held his fist up for being ‘under imogen’s chin’. 

Matt!Caleb...oh Matt.  German accents is definitely not your strong point.  BUT you captured the flow of his speech very well, with the hesitations and pauses even when speaking confidently.  On the other hand, did you see Liam’s face when Matt!Caleb said deception wasn’t their strong suit?  By level 17, Caleb’s deception was a plus 10!  Beau’s was a plus 7!

WHO IS THE THIRD PERSON THEY TOOK DOWN????  can’t wait to find out later... I’m guessing the person who worked at the school and passed names to Trent?  also 100% astrid is the inside person

OKAY LET ME TALK ABOUT THE ENTIRE REST OF THE EPISODE NOW

first off, I feel bad for Sam and Ashley.  Sitting out the entire back half of a game?  Suuuuuucks.  At least this is a group that is very supportive and positive of others taking the spotlight (beau and yasha date took the entire back half of an episode too).  Hope Matt gives them some good bits at next episode.

I didn’t mind the fact that they didn’t plan between games.  While sometimes it may feel tedious, it’s VERY critical role for the group to plan and plan and PLAN through all three campaigns.  This time was fun not only for the hilarity of none of them being on the same page at the beginning, but also with the fact that lots of good options were raised.  I am a bit surprised that they made crashing the airship plan A, as I’d assumed that was a plan B or plan C.

Combat was quick (for combat) and fun, and yes - the Warden mini WAS super cute!  I’m personally not a fan still of the glamor shots, but I guess I don’t mind them that much.  They are usually fairly quick.

AAAAAAA BEAU AND CALEB BRING THE REST OF THE NEIN IT’S WORLD ENDING SHIT YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR TEAM WITH YOU (leave kingsley to his bullshit ending, don’t bring him with) BUT BRING EVERYONE.  They’re trying to kill the gods!!!  Caduceus and Fjord should definitely want in on this!  Jester too if Artie may be feeling threatened!

I cannot WAIT for next week.  AAAAA

Small Hands 5: Háma of Rohan

Today's unsung hero, Háma of Rohan, is legitimately one of my all time favorite LOTR characters (for the record, they are: Sam (fave main character), Éomer (fave secondary character), and Háma (fave tertiary character)). The door warden of Théoden at Edoras, Háma is faithful, brave, wise and forward thinking in a way that few others can match.

When we meet Háma, he is under orders to take all weapons from those who would visit with Théoden. Aragorn, in particular, gets a little pissy about complying with this order, but Háma is both firm and fair with him. When it comes to Gandalf's staff, however, Háma does what he does best...he uses his own judgment, trusts in his own instinct that Gandalf is friendly and worthy of honor, and disobeys an unwise order by allowing Gandalf to enter Meduseld with the staff. And thank goodness he does, because this choice is the key to the entire sequence of events whereby Gandalf uses the staff to heal Théoden, displace Gríma and put in motion Rohan's critical role in the saving of Gondor and ultimate defeat of Sauron.

Háma's willingness to trust himself comes with a cost as he earns words of displeasure from Théoden and is dismissed as door warden. But that does nothing to daunt Háma from continuing to serve his king in the way that he thinks best. He restores Éomer’s sword to him before he has been told to do so because he believes it is the right thing to do. And, in the process of fetching Théoden’s sword, he searches through Gríma’s belongings to discover the many other ways that Gríma has been undermining Théoden’s household. In short, Háma is not one who would ever use "just following orders" as an excuse for doing wrong or failing to do right, even when breaking those orders costs him personally. He truly honors his leader, his cause and his land over himself.

(While we're on the subject of Háma as a free thinker, let's also remember that he's the one to suggest Éowyn "as lord to the Eorlingas" once Théoden rides off to deal with Isengard. Our Háma has no old fashioned, patriarchal objections to female leaders and no concerns about voicing his support for Éowyn in front of his bros!)

Ultimately, Háma is rewarded for his loyalty and sound judgment by being restored to Théoden’s good opinion. When Háma tragically dies in the Battle of Helm's Deep (*sob*), Théoden personally mourns his death and specifically cites the killing and maiming of Háma’s body as a reason why he would never make peace with Saruman. And while we, too, should mourn Háma’s untimely passing, we should also celebrate his part in the restoration of Théoden and all of Rohan's subsequent victories. If not for Háma’s personal courage and strength of mind, things in Rohan and all of Middle Earth could have turned out quite differently. So pour one out for this legend, at rest in a grave of honor under the shadow of the Hornburg.

i love all your super angsty stuff, but sometimes i want to see dream go apesht and be powerful and confident and frightening again, y'know? maybe a little unhinged still but making everyone realize that THEY made this monster by putting him in the vault O_O

OH YEAH ,, unhinged c!dream my beloved (/lh)

im not sure if this is what you wanted, exactly, but boy was it fun to write. c!sam,, is not having a good day lmao 

tw: blood, violence, implied torture, offscreen murder, death threats, mental instability, emotional distress, dark content, prison arc/pandora’s vault, c!sam critical (not really? But I digress)

Ranboo is in the wrong place in the wrong time.

He thinks, halfheartedly, that that could be the name of his autobiography. What To Do If The Universe Hates You, an Advice Book By Ranboo T. Beloved doesn’t sound too shabby, all things considered - it’s applicable, at the very least. It’d been true with George’s house, true for the Butcher Army, true when he’d been the one that Techno found in search for his armor back, true now, with sirens blaring from the prison that he’s coincidentally probably the closest to out of everyone on the server. Part of him wants to just ditch the place for Snowchester, as he was originally planning to do; unfortunately, caring about pretty much everyone means caring about what’s going on with their greatest enemy, especially now that Wilbur’s been revived.

Ranboo hurries towards the prison, dunking water by his feet to activate his trident. It only takes him a few Riptides (what can he say - he did say he was close to the prison) for the beach in front of the giant, dark-walled structure to come into sight, two figures stood in front of the smaller box containing the Nether Portal. One of them, standing tall and wearing glinting purple netherite, is clearly, unmistakably Sam, which means he other stranger- well, not stranger, exactly, must be Dream.

Ranboo skids to a stop on the hillside, not wanting to jump into the fray until he knows exactly what’s happening; Techno’s voice rings in his head (the element of surprise is one of your greatest weapons in battle) then Phil’s (what he means is don’t be an idiot, mate) and he settles, silent, to observe with an enderpearl readied in his hand.

It’s no wonder he didn’t recognize Dream, at first - he looks nothing like the man that Ranboo remembers, almost doesn’t look like a person at all. His hair is long and tangled, hanging in clumps around his face. Even from the distance, he looks like a wreck, all sharp edges and skinny, shaking limbs, a heavy netherite axe hefted in one hand. Ranboo shudders at the sight of the blood already on the blade, at the various injuries painting the orange of his prison uniform more red than orange, and looks to make sure his sword is close at hand.

“Prisoner,” Sam’s voice is gravelly, tight with stress. He sounds the same way he did that one time he confronted Ranboo about the prison books he didn’t remember signing, the pages filled with strange runes that he somehow could understand- “Stand down.”

“Sam-” Dream laughs, high-pitched and grating, and Ranboo’s tail lashes anxiously. Dream’s hand raises to his face, his shoulders shaking as the other hand tightens over the handle of his axe, “Awesam. Sammy- I told you, didn’t I? I fucking told you what would happen.”

“Dream-”

“Unless you want to end up like Quackity, I suggest you stop talking, Warden.”

It’s quite a sight to see someone in fully armored netherite cower from someone completely unarmored, looking more dead than alive, but well - it is Dream, and Ranboo finds himself cringing back at the words even though he’s not even in the area. He steals a look at his communicator; the rest of the server has noticed the sirens, it seems, but nobody seems to understand what exactly is going on, much less be ready for a potential fight, and a nervous shiver runs down his spine.

“Sammy,” Dream stalks forward, his axe braced in front of him, “Look at you. You’re so goddamn pathetic-” He spits the words like venom, back hunched, center of gravity pulled close to the ground - he looks more mob than human, watches Sam with the same wild-eyed desperation that Ranboo’s seen in a starving wolf chasing down prey, “Such a fucking coward that you couldn’t do shit yourself. Well- good for Quackity, isn’t it? It sure ended up well for him.”

Ranboo shivers, looking at the blood staining the netherite blade with ice rising in his chest. No- he didn’t-

“You know how good it felt to plunge this axe into his neck?” Dream laughs, the sound raspy and unsettling, making Ranboo shrink back in his hiding spot, “You know how many times he threatened to do the same to me? You know how many times he’s used this exact fucking axe to cave my ribs in?” He hurls the blade down and Ranboo reaches out with a wordless shout, watching as the axe strikes the earth in a spray of sand, “HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES, SAM?”

“Dream-”

“Don’t- You don’t get to call me that,” Dream pulls the axe back, looks up with another round of breathless laughter. “You- don’t you fucking dare.”

Sam draws back- Ranboo can’t place the expression that flashes over his face, something a little like fear, something a little like guilt. He doesn’t seem to try and say anything, a sword appearing in his hand.

“So you want to try this too,” Dream’s voice pitches low, becoming something hysterical, almost amused, “Sure! We’ll play. Try to last a little longer than Quackity, will you?”

He flashes forward, much much faster than he should with the amount of injuries that claw over his arms and legs, brings the axe down in a heavy clang that is only barely met by Sam’s sword. Ranboo looks left and right, tries to find others coming to the Warden’s aid, finds none. Dream’s pace is ruthless, bringing down the axe again and again, hardly reacting when Sam catches him by the arm on his blade. Sam hisses in alarm as the axe handle is swung into the inside of his arm, loses his grip on the sword as the back end of the axe catches it at the base. Dream heaves in shuddering breaths, axe clanging against Sam’s armor and sending the creeper hybrid toppling to the ground with a sharp exhale of breath, presses the bloody blade beneath his chin.

“You know-” He smiles, pressing the axe forward further, making Sam lift his head as he falls back against the sand, “You were kind of useful, you know? You and Quackity, I mean.” Dream hisses angrily, words pitching lower, “Do you know what’s the easiest way to make someone hurt? Do you know where to hit someone for it to cause the most pain? Do you know how it feels to break every bone in your fucking body? Quackity said he’d make every fucking day of my life a living hell.” He raises his axe, foot ground down on Sam’s arm, “How about I return the favor?”

Ranboo throws his enderpearl.

He raises his sword, braces against the vibrations running up his arms as the axe crashes down on it with a grimace as he readies himself to fight. Dream draws back for a second- “‘Boo?’

“Ranboo, run,” Sam shouts behind him, pulling his arm to his chest as he moves to stand, “Get out of here-”

“No, no, I think he can stay,” Dream’s eyes flash, harden. “Figures that he’d play the traitor once again, doesn’t it Ranboo?”

“I was never your ally-”

“You and the rest of this damned server, ‘Boo,” He laughs dangerously, draws back as Sam gets to his feet. Ranboo watches as he kicks up Sam’s sword, catching it in his left hand. “Oh well. As much as I would’ve liked to take another life-”

A flash of blue-green, and there’s someone else standing there, a crossbow loosely held in one hand, smiling lazily through his hair.

“-it looks like my ride out is here.”

“You’ve made quite  the mess,” Wilbur drawls, rolling his eyes at the man beside him, “I have to say- I’m a little impressed.”

“Wil,” Dream breathes, shoulders visibly falling, looking at the other man with a sort of soft-edged reverence that makes Ranboo shift uncomfortably at the sight. It feels off, wrong, to see him go from a raging, frothing thing to someone docile, expression filled with a mockery of adoration.

“We’ll be off then, gentlemen,” Wilbur salutes with one hand, lips quirking up. “No hard feelings, Ranboo, Sam,” he nods at each of them with their names and tosses an enderpearl into the horizon, Dream doing so at the same time, “We’ll see you around.”

Ranboo watches, lungs heaving, as they disappear.

“...you know, Sam, I think we might be in a little bit of trouble.”

[dreamsclock]

/ tw: prison abuse & torture

Honestly, I really want Dream to just go apeshit on Sam. Like, he just snaps and starts ranting about how fucking awful Pandora's Vault is. Especially if Sapnap and Puffy are there to hear it.

There are so many good scenarios for it too, it could work in pretty much any AU.

Like Total Control!Dream, after the dreamon's been exorcised, trying to forgive Sam but breaking down and screaming at him for everything he did. And Sam just sitting there and taking it because it's what he thinks he deserves.

Or Syndicate!Dream being confronted by Sam and losing his composure, calling him out for abusing him, growing hysterical from the fear that Sam will punish him for speaking out. Then Techno and Phil backing him up so Sam can't do anything to him.

But my favourite scenario is Dream breaking out of prison and regaining his power. He's manic and angry and doesn't even realise he's calling Sam out. It's meant to be a taunt, a way to show Sam that he doesn't have power over him anymore. It doesn't even occur to him that he's revealing something traumatic, he just assumes everyone already knew what Sam did.

Sam: Stand down, now.

Dream: Or what? You'll hit me? Go on, try it! Hit me with Warden's Will Breaker! Or is the mighty Warden afraid to hit someone who can fight back?

Then in the aftermath Sapnap and Puffy confront Sam about what Dream said and find out that Warden's Will Breaker is his fucking pickaxe.

(I'm gonna start signing my asks as Angst Rat since I've sent in few now. I was the anon who sent in the two asks about Sam finding Dream's dirt stash and the story about Dream recovering from touch aversion btw.)

ANGST RAT HELLO !! all of these are such painful scenarios, but i thought i’d write the last one because i adore writing dream when he’s powerful and don’t do it enough kshdfsd (though his power in this is a lot sadder, all things considering...

warnings: abuse (physical/emotional), pickaxe injuries, trauma, mental illness, c!sam/warden!sam critical, violence, death - this story is VERY heavy, pls be careful!!

Dream’s eyes are glittering in a way they hadn’t been during prison. Even without a mask, he’s terrifying - not from lack of emotion, this time, but from too much, all at once. They dance over his face to off-tune ballroom music, gaudy and too loud and much too telling. Sam grits his teeth at the sight of it, squaring his shoulders for what he’s certain will result in a loss of a life for someone.

“Dream, stop this,” he orders, gritting his teeth behind his mask tightly, “now. I don’t want to do this.”

And Dream doesn’t just laugh - he throws his head back to laugh at the sky in complete amusement and complete incredulity. “That’s rich!” He gasps, still giggling, dancing away from the blow from Tommy that whirls through the air toward him. “That’s- Oh, God, come on, now, you don’t have to lie out here. Or are you still lying to yourself, hmm?”

Sam’s blood runs cold. He doesn’t need to be a mind-reader to know what Dream is talking about. “Dream,” he stresses, suddenly very aware of Puffy’s curious eyes turning to him, searching, shrewd, “Dream, you don’t-”

“No!” Dream cuts him off, a furious, delighted light springing to life like wildfire inside his face. “No, no, Warden, you can’t tell me what to do anymore! Isn’t that funny? Isn’t that funny to you? You- Hah, you don’t have any power over me anymore. What the fuck are you going to do, slam a pickaxe into my arm over and over until I promise to behave?”

It had seemed barely acceptable in the dark confines of the prison, where every corner crooned in dark thoughts and every shadow was the worst version of himself. In the stark morning light, Sam feels himself shrink in shame and horror, feels something inside his head whisper a horrified mantra of guilt he will never be able to unhear. Puffy’s eyes are lasers now, and others are glancing his way. For once, Sam hides behind his mask instead of wearing it proudly; he can’t speak, can’t find the words to defend himself.

Dream doesn’t seem to have much of an idea what he’s done. He’s still giggling, that same light burning up in his eyes. “You could never do that,” he hisses, poisonous all of a sudden, and Sam steps back hastily when Dream strides forwards, the prisoner running off nothing but potions and euphoria that will leave him a wreck by the end of the night, “you wouldn’t dare hit someone who can do ten times as much damage to you and everything you love, right, Sam?”

“Dream-” Sam begins, voice dry, raspy, and Dream grins, displaying sharp teeth and bitter vengeance, “Dream...”

His voice gives out. What else is there to say?

“That’s what I thought,” Dream purrs, something like victory untangling its claws in his words, “you could have tried to break so many other things. But my will? What made you think you could ever fucking do that?”

He shoots a cold, contemptuous look around him, too-bright eyes landing on each and every person hovering back nervously. And that’s when Sam realises that Dream thinks all of them had known about his experience in prison, and his heart plummets.

“Don’t follow me,” Dream tells them, voice rougher than ever, “or I’ll start fighting back. Don’t make me take away lives.”

And it’s only because Sam hasn’t moved in so long that nobody follows, because they’re crowding Sam, demanding to know what Dream had been talking about with suspicious face and dread in their eyes. Only Puffy stands apart from the crowd, shoulder slumped in horrified understanding, but Sam doesn’t look at any of them.

His eyes are fixed on the retreating back of Dream, and the tremor in his left leg from a pickaxe would he’ll never be able to shake.

Hot Take based on Quackity’s visiting Dream VOD!!!

Warning I will be talking only if the Dream Smp characters, not the content creators. Also check tags for tw and cw. Stay safe everyone!!

I am going to state my thoughts, fresh from having to watch Quackity’s lore stream.

I will not put up with people comparing Dream killing Tommy with a potato, both on equal footing, to Quackity, enchanted netherite weapons from The Warden and shears, ducking shears, literally torturing Dream. The calendar suggests he will be doing it every day off camera.

There is no comparison. One is a raw fight with no advantages beside potatoes. The other is actual repeated torture in order to pry information out of a prisoner.

A prisoner, who is starved and beaten with a pickaxe for punishment already. Who is dependent on that person that does that to him. Who literally called for The Warden when Quackity is about to start actively torturing him.

Sam said that there was no sign of the tnt explosion anywhere near the prison, and yet it couldve been clearly heard, which leads me to believe that what actually happened was Ranboo standing outside the prison with a boombox blasting the explosion noises and then promptly teleporting away

back during the start if the prison arc in february, dream attempted to escape via nether portal and sam's response was just adding crying obsidian. if dream were to try that sort of thing in october, what do you think sam's response would be?

/rp /dsmp

Short answer: “Maybe next time it won’t be Quackity who comes into the cell. Maybe it will be me!”

Longer answer: I think it would be one of the few things that might prompt Sam to bring Quackity back in. Failing that, Dream would definitely be ~punished, since clearly what Sam’s done so far was not enough to subdue him. It’s nearly impossible that he wouldn’t be starved, it’s not unlikely that he’d be physically abused, and security would be ramped up: maybe items would be confiscated, maybe the cell would be made even smaller. After Techno’s escape, Sam tells Dream explicitly that his treatment, including if he’s fed, including whether Sam lets Quackity back in, and including whether Sam tortures Dream personally, is going to depend on what other “shenanigans” he gets up to.

And I’d also question the premise that ~all~ Sam did after Dream’s first attempt at escape was to just add crying obsidian. We have no idea what else he did. We do know that Dream goes completely silent for awhile afterwards, though, so that’s fun. Now obviously the silence strike is also in response to Ranboo being barred from the prison, as was the escape attempt itself. But, look. We know from Bad’s visit that Sam had already used restricting food as a punishment for messing with the clock. Pretty sure he’d do at least do that for a genuine, bona-fide escape attempt.

If Dream tried to escape again in October it would be a lot worse, not only because there’s been a successful escape, not only because Sam’s already beefed up security multiple times, but also because Sam’s dramatically expanded his repertoire of acceptable punishments.

Nah because c!sam needs to pay for what he’s done and this stream is just cementing how far gone he is and how he feels as if he just has a right to anything, even someone’s life, the moment he deems it important to him

Awesamdude’s being manipulative because of his corruption arc, mirroring Quackity’s behavior (likely as a coping mechanism of some sort), and this is most obvious in his behavior towards Ponk. Send post.

Background: Awsamdude is one of the original founders of the land and a genius when it comes to redstone and buildings. Being part creeper apparently he possess various bodies across the world where he can transfer his consciousness to be (almost) in many places at the same time, one of these was repurposed as Sam Nook to assist Tommyinit in the build of his hotel. He helped to fight Schlatt during the Manberg war and sided with Tommy during the Manberg vs Pogtopia war. After building many farms, he started to take on his magnum opus is the (in)famous prison Pandora’s Vault commissioned by Dream. The new Vault keeper role created a new persona inside him called the Warden. As the Warden, he is very strict with rules and will do anything to make sure that the prisoners stay where they are meant to be and lawbreakers to be punished accordingly or worst (as he did with Ponk’s arm). When Dream was arrested after the disc war and locked him inside his own creation, Sam felt a strange sense of accomplishment but also felt a large burden on his shoulders. This proved very real when Dream killed Tommy in his cell while a lockdown was activated. After Tommy’s revival and release, the news reached Quackity and he decided to torture Dream to obatin informations about the revival book. Some time later, Technoblade was also imprisoned but managed to escape to his extreme shock. Sam immediately captured Ranboo and Michael to use them as bargain chips. Later, Technoblade spearhead the building and released all the prisoners: Dream, Ranboo and Connoreatpants. When the alarm sounded Sam informed Quackity and called Sapnap and Badboyhalo to help with the defenses to no avail. As the Vault fell so did the mind of the Warden as he rushed to threaten Ranboo to kill Micheal if he did not remove his armor; Then he threatened Dream that he would kill Ranboo if he did not surrender and return into the jail. The Green man escaped on a horse and Sam killed Ranboo. A furious Techno started to rampage across the area and the mob of people that were summoned to help in stopping him and wounded Sam many times before retreating. Destroyed, and feeling a failure on maintaining his only duty he locked the prison to be only locked back in by Techno, Eret and Tubbo as revenge. Then, if that wasn’t enough, Dream entered the jail and tortured him until he became totally submitted to him and he told him all the secrets of the jail followed by his first canon death. One day while he was thinking about his past mistakes, Sam could only grind his teeth in anger and despair… He was hated by many, his special role was broken and his magnum opus was in the hand of maniac… Then he started to hear voices: “So you wish to restore your previous role and become master of that jail of yours? Maybe also become a master of your own destiny? I can do it. All you have to do is…” he spoke words that were like liquid gold and the sweetest of nectar for him. Sam was at the bottom, he had nothing to lose, so he accepted. “Good, let me give you a proper start.” The world shifted, and his body as well. Then he found himself in a chamber with many semitransparent tanks and in each… himself. “Clones? My clones?” Sam wandered the vast labyrinthine structure made of stone, hard metal, claustrophobic corridors, shackles, powerful locks and many doors… he felt like at home. “A building fit for you... It can become yours if you wish so...” Sam reached a dark enormous door with all manners of locks and the tiniest of gap as window. “I am here. You can fill this place with all those you deem fit. The more you lock in, the more i become free… And when i do… I can grant your wish. ANY WISH.” Sam looked around, intoxicated with the power of the place he was in: “Let’s get started, shall we?”
