#NotDream123

Tom Simmons. He’s apparently some guy Dream looked up in a phone book and invited to the SMP because Dream thought it’d be funny.

He has an astounding resemblance to Tommy Innit from the way he speaks and his humor down to the way he dresses. Even so, Tommy seems to think Tom is Dream in disguise.

“That’s a little speciesist, don’t you think? Just because I’m a dreamon hybrid and wear green doesn’t mean I’m the same guy.”

i hope that even though we now know what dream looks like people still make really cool designs based off his skins

[blankerthought]

hear me out. dsmp star wars au. this is JUST for the idea that dream and xd are clones but, through some force fuckery, there is genuinely no way to tell which of them was Prime.

Hey metaru, know you pbly dont care abt any of the things ive been rotating around my head, but i have this half baked idea for a homestuck classpect for c!dream and so here it goes:

Dream would make a decent Witch (Warlock ?) of Blood. And not only that, he'd be a doomed one as well.

Ok so hear me out, Blood is the aspect of bonds and loyalties right? The relationships that you have w/ others. Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb yada yada.

And the Witch (or Warlock) class is abt manipulation. Its about having an uncanny control and power over your aspect. But the downside is that you have no understanding of it. It usually results into the Witch classes to be manipulated themselves by their aspects due to them lacking understanding abt it. (Ref: Jade, Feferi and Damara were all witch classes and ended up being controlled by their aspects in some form. Bec, ) (IC , Glubby, Doc scratch respectively). The main thing is to avoid being completely manipulated by their aspects and control it instead, otherwise you will end up doomed. Its trying not to drown in that sense and overcome the challenges to Rise

Now, here comes Dream. As it was previously mentioned, Blood is the aspect of bonds and loyalties. C!dream in particular was always obsessed w/ Tommy mainly w/ his ability to unite the server like that. Everyone comes together. Why cant he do it then? In comes the manipulation. He sets everything up, pulls the strings and orchestrates everything. He looses his own bonds and attachments (bad idea for Blood) to better control the other ones

But in the end it always did become kinda canon, that despite all of dream's hard work to get rid of his bonds, he cant get rid of his biggest one, which is to the server. No matter what he does, he always ends up snared in the spiders web. The server is made w/ the people in it and what they do. The very definition of what Blood stands for. And in the end, he lets himself spiral and lose control. He only goes after Tommy to just try to get this one thing this one fucking thing under his control. And he fails, and he gets stuck.

And ends up doomed.

(Also, it should be noted that i came up w/ this thinking abt trying to classpect cdream into Heart cuz of driks whole splinter business and all of the alts dream has in the smp (all of which are canon in my heart i love you GirlDream, DreamXD, NotDream123) and also working w/ the soul and emotions aspect of Heart into manipulation, before i remembered that Blood is Right Fucking There. Also i gave up dsmp post revengers rescuing michael. I have no idea what happend next and have no interest to find out either. Its also like 1:35 am here and i have made so many mistakes but yea sorry to bother you i really love the Blood aspect and Witch is my fav tragic doomed Class.)

c!tommy hope c!dream blood so based

C!Dream (November 2022)

Experimented with Sai (1) and CSP (2) after the DSMP season 1 finale :D

Additional Notes ^_^

I think this is going to be my definitive C!Dream post-prison design, I had a doodle of how he looked like before pandora but I lost it lmao. Don't pay attention to the placements of the scars and wounds because I put them there randomly so in future drawings they might be changed. Also my C!Dream wears green eyeshadow because he thinks it will make him look intimidating and badass without the mask (C!Punz helps him applying it).

My headcanon is that C!Dream along with other Dream related characters like Mexican Dream, Mamacita, NotDream123, Cornelius, etc. are all from the same species. Silly little creatures if you will.

[sing-me-under]

I just realized I never posted all of my c!Dream variants in one place??? I made these back in October then posted each one separately, but they’re all part of a collection.

Row 1: c!Dream (early canon, main, post-prison)

Row 2: Mamacita, Drista, NotDream123

Row 3: Francis, DreamXD, Cornelius

Row 4: Mexican Dream, Ranbob, Hubert

Headcanons under the cut:

I like the theory that Cornelius and Francis are both DreamXD. Cornelius is DreamXD before ascending to godhood, and Francis is just DreamXD fucking around in c!Dream’s skin (and c!Connor know this)

Before the SMP, c!Dream sold his skin to DreamXD in exchange for… something. He doesn’t remember doing this though. That’s why DreamXD looks like c!Dream. That’s also why c!Dream has void underneath his hair.

Mamacita, DreamXD, and c!Dream are the only True Dreamons left since all the others were either hunted down (Overworld) or simply went extinct (The End).

c!Ranboo is a dreamon-endermen hybrid originating from The End. He’s not a Dream variant though, so I didn’t include him. Although… even though dreamon halos are supposed to be completely unique, Ranbob has the exact same halo as Ranboo.

NotDream123 (aka Tom Simmons) and Hubert the Butler are just regular dreamon hybrids (in the same way most players are some sort of mob hybrid) with no connection to c!Dream or DreamXD. They’re just two guys.

MD is not a dreamon. He just adopted Mamacita’s culture.

Technically! c!Drista is not a dreamon. In my own headcanon, she’s actually the entity personification of the entire Dream SMP that took on the appearance of the SMP’s owner, c!Dream, and the local deity, XD.

i miss like 2021 dsmp where family aus where everywhere lowkeyyyy like . some of them were corny as hell but it was so fun literally no one gaf. i loved making cdream and drista the siblings of dreamxd and then when notdream123 came along with their non-binary ass i just threw them in the mix too like it was FUN

[dsmp-for-kink]

Dimension warping shenanigans. Like, 5 different Dreams (Early Dsmp, Prison era Dsmp, Manhunt, Notdream123(I love him),DreamXD(he's huge. I also love him)) and maybe 2 Sapnap (Dsmp(dreamnap fucked! It's Canon) and Manhunt maybe?)

Fun times, double pen at some point maybe 👍

*anyone that knows where I plagiarized this from, No You Don't!!!

Hello! I've been reading through your DSMP Blade System AU posts and am curious about how many shards/Blades DreamXD's Blade got separated into and what other characters are one of the resulting Blades?

Considering the Blades you mentioned (c!Dream, Mamacita, Drista and Cornelius) its characters played by cc!Dream or his sister. Im guessing NotDream123 might be another one then if he exists in this AU. Also Hubert which could be fun as the most c!Karl got about him was a mention when he was at the Masquerade.

I was thinking that the core crystal broke into 5 pieces. Here is an idea of what I'm going for, please excuse the roughness:

c!Dream is made from the bit in the center, which is shaped like a diamond or a rhombus. The other 4 Blades have the rectangular shaped parts, set at an angle. Core crystals are generally one color; the contrast here is to differentiate the sections.

The original core crystal was the same as the others, roughly palm sized. The shards actually grew a bit when they became Blades of their own.

Current Blades are Dream, Drista, Cornelius, and GirlDream/Mamacita. I'm still undecided on who the last piece will be.

Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with NotDream123. I'm probably going to end up skipping him? I checked and he dies several times, and a key part of this AU is that c!Tommy, c!Tubbo, and c!Ranboo don't really know all that much about the Blade System and how it works for regular Blades.

It probably will be Hubert. In this, Hubert was a Blade. The Egg can corrupt Blades by reaching through their bond with their Driver. Through Hubert, the Egg realizes that the corruption only lasts 1 life; if the Blade is killed, reverts to core crystal, and reAwakened the corruption is gone.

Actually, I really like this idea. So the Egg decides to try corrupting the core crystal of the Blade, and has Hubert killed again (by Billiam) shortly before the Masquerade. The core crystal is left in the Egg's room, and c!Karl accidentally grabs it when he is being murdered at the end.

This is part of the reason why the Inbetween grabbed Karl at this point. XD was manipulating it so Karl could keep Hubert's core crystal in his inventory when he died and then XD could retrieve the core crystal when Karl arrived in the Inbetween.

~

XD has a weird relationship with the Aegis pieces. As much as he wants his original Blade back, he does get less focused on his goal as the story goes on. Part of it is that DreamXD is Drista's Driver (why she has Creative) and he starts to like her. Part of it is that he is getting more interaction with other people and not stewing in his own loneliness.

GirlDream/Mamacita is the 2nd fragment recovered. I want to say that her Driver was Mexican Dream and she returned to a core crystal with his first canon death? The problem is that they're kind of joke/humor characters, and... So, humor is an important part of tension. But again, c!Tommy is not supposed to get enough info about the Blade System to read into the undercurrents of what is going on before Staged Finale. The entire situation needs a bit of workshoping. I'd need to re-watch the streams before I make a firm decision. XD grabs her after Mexican Dream's Third Canon Death.

Cornelius gets recovered because XD retrieves him. As the 3rd fragment recovered, he also gets put on a shelf.

Hubert is the 4th fragment recovered. XD pickpockets him out of Karl's Inventory in the Inbetween. Hubert does not go on the shelf because XD is too busy worrying about the damage the Egg did to the core crystal during the attempt to corrupt the core crystal. Since the Egg is an offshoot of the being that originally shattered the Aegis Blade, XD thinks it might be lingering damage for that instance, though he starts getting suspicious as he picks up more details from George and Foolish.

XD's attachment to Hubert and worrying about the damage also makes XD look at Mamacita and Cornelius in a different light. Around that point, XD stops leaving them on the shelf and starts carrying them with him.

XD is drawn to George in part because George was Dream's Driver. Part of their friendship is a shared grief for their Blades. XD does not meet Dream until the very end, when he has been mostly convinced that murdering 5 people to bring his friend back (an act that will upset all his current friends and destroy Drista, who he is fond of) is not the best plan.

~

DSMP is about humanity, about how even bad people are still people. This AU also adds a hunt for identity. When does a person stop being the same person. For a Blade, does the memory loss make them a different person in their next life? For DreamXD, the five fragments are explicitly different people, and he has to grapple with that fact as well as the driving force of his own grief and the knowledge that he can resurrect his friend--but it'll have consequences.

Editor's note from the future:

DreamXD's Aegis will be named "Reverie."

[curoopeez]

I think cyberknife and notdream123 would be friends. No wait I changed my mind while writing this they would pretend to be friends but secretly hate each other

[dreamhot]

so where does this put notdream123 in the narrative

[gg-selvish]

i miss NotDream123

[kenjo-arts]

I cannot describe my love for him @arodream
