Dream as a mythological figure is so underutilized in fanfic actually. Like just describing "man who is being eternally hunted" already sounds like classic fucked myth.
You wanna do a fantasy Bamf Tommy fic and need a mentor? Bam! He trained with The Eternal Prey and his immortal hounds when he was a kid.
Techno injured injured you need a deus ex machina for a final battle? Throw in the immortal hunters!
Just want a cool little tidbit, prayer or curseword that implies a wider world? "May you be as clever as The Dreamer" "The winds are howling tonight's, the hunt must be passing by" "Lock the damn door, at this rate The Prey will think you're inviting him in to eat"
What is his point in the world? Maybe he tends to dying magic in a never-ending circle. Maybe he's responsible for the seasons, running back to kill whatever causes winter so spring can bloom again and he can be reborn. Maybe he's responsible for catching lost and stay souls. Maybe he got cursed to this. Maybe he's so old that the only people who know are him and his hunters and none of them know how to explain it outside of their archaic language. Maybe he's so young that other gods don't quite get his purpose, like he was born to fix/deal with something new in the world they don't quite understand.
The world is your oyster!!! Have fun!!!!!

Fun fact: Rabbit and pig has different fur changing seasons and usually pig blows their fur so it came off much faster (?). Idk, just thought that is interesing.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the silly rivals! They are definitely sharing one common braincell >.<

I just noticed I forgot to draw a horn so uh, it got cut off
By quackity, or maybe Tommy
Because like, everyone’s scared he can use magic, so why not cut of the very thing supplying(?) his strength
Anyways plot whole filled, head canon achieved.

cDream after pandora gaining weight slowly but surely. He loves touching cTechza’s chests and tummies, wrapping his arms around them from behind or nuzzling up to them to bury his face in their softness, running his hands down their soft bodies and adoring them so much it aches. They are so beautiful, softened from retirement but strong nonetheless and he wishes he could look like them both, hopes that one day he will
i'd be pretty surprised if dream managed to gain back significant weight.... gaining weight on purpose can be So uncomfortable and So hard, both mentally and physically. every body is different of course, i just think this would likely be an ongoing issue for him. we'd be looking at least a decade of very hard work.
i think cdream would be at a huge risk for body dysmorphia. anytime that the body changes quickly, the mind might not keep up, and he didn't have access to a mirror for a whole year while he was undergoing those changes. the shock of trying to return to normal would be so hard.
i think he'd benefit from being around techno & philza throughout his struggle with his body. seeing them be so relaxed and confident in their bodies, even with any changes that came with their retirement. and still willing to have nasty sex. and still loving dream's body, no matter what. even if the weight came back a bit softer and squishier than the lean muscle dream is used to, they'd be happy he's gaining weight at all. being so skinny can be dangerous, especially in the arctic.
Maybe c!Phil doesn't know, the mask is always there to protect c!Dream's face. Most don't ever see it again after the rebellions and revolutions start. Maybe he finds out after Prison - when he's rescued the boy and heard of all the atrocities committed against him. Washes away the blood and gore to find a pale younger version of himself. And truly understands the horror.
NO STOP because i do headcanon this. i like to think cdream was careful to make sure that no one saw his face, and after sam took it from him in the prison, there was nothing left to hide. phil wouldn't see him until after the breakout. a pale, small thing-- a bit uncanny valley from his own memory of looking in the mirror in his youth. THIS is the monster his son hated, THIS is the one he called monster. this starved boy who looks like his father, after enduring the exact treatment wilbur would say he deserved
many things to think about

The prison was meant for dream? I thought it was always meant for Tommy?
Ahh well yes, the prison was in fact never made specifically for Tommy and despite what he says in the disc confrontation, Dream was not planning to put Tommy in the prison but in fact himself.
Why do we know this?
Well, for starters, even if we look just at that conversation, he actually says how the prison wasn’t meant for Tommy. So even if we believe his monologue and what he says about Tommy being the key and yada yada, then we too must also believe that the prison wasn’t built for Tommy [clip]:
Dream: “I’m going to lock Tommy away forever […] the prison, it wasn’t meant for you orginally, but now it is.”
But should we even believe his monologuing?
Is he not talking about putting Tommy in a maximum security prison while there’s just a little cage for Skeppy in the wall right behind him? - Does he not say that Tommy started the trend of attachments and yet Berkerson and Mars and Spirit all existed long before he joined?
These are just some of the things in that finale that don’t make sense. Because the truth is, it isn’t real. He meant to get caught. He meant to lose. He meant to get arrested. I mean otherwise why wouldn’t he have just left after Tommy killed him the first time, after all if he can revive Tommy, then Tommy’s threat to kill himself means nothing to Dream, and that’s even if he was telling the truth about Tommy’s importance to begin with. Tommy’s leverage isn’t real, Dream only came back because he wanted to. Because it was all part of his plan. It was all staged. Punz didn’t lead the others to Dream’s Vault because Tommy paid him more than Dream, because a man casually carrying around 15 Enchanted Golden Apples in his inventory isn’t going to be out paid by someone living in a dirt house.
Punz’s betrayal was staged and we know this because in more than one instance it is confirmed as much.
Just after Techno’s attempted assassination, in the same conversation of Dream saying how he appreciates Punz being by his side from the beginning, he tells Punz that he needs to no longer be on his side [clip]. That they must stage a divide of sorts so no one goes after Punz when they inevitably go after Dream. In the conversation we also see Dream looking at the prison and talking about how he’s going away for a bit [clip]. And this strikes Punz off guard and we see him struggling to process Dream leaving [clip] and more notably no longer being able to even talk to him [clip].
And if their plotting isn’t enough to convince you, then perhaps Punz giving Dream armor right after the jailbreak will as he says [clip]:
Punz: “I thought—I thought the plan was to meet here ages ago. I’ve been waiting for so long.”
But if that’s not enough, there is also what he says to Sam in Daedalus [clip]:
Dream: “Oh, I’m gonna put Skeppy in a two by one box? You think that’s what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna pop him there even though I have this massive prison that I was—I was building? I was gonna throw Skeppy in a little two by one box? Look it wasn’t—it—that wasn’t anything, that was just for show… That was just to—that was all theatre. For Tommy. Okay? I was having fun. I was messing about.”
And then, they straight up confirm it all in the finale [clip] with Punz saying how he was never on clingy duo’s side, and Dream going into detail about how they needed to stage a betrayal to protect Punz.
So ultimately, that disc confrontation was as Dream said all for show and if that’s true then he was planning to put himself in prison, and given that the prison didn’t finish construction till after Punz and Dream’s plotting stream we can say that Dream was literally building the prison while planning to put himself inside, so yes the prison was never meant for Tommy but meant for Dream.
He even hints as much in the funny conversation with Techno about being homeless [clip]:
Dream: “My house is the biggest house on the server.”
Techno: “I believe you, man. I believe you. Everyone believes you.”
Dream: “No, I—I—I prom—promise. I swear though.”
Techno: “Everyone believes you, Dream.”
Dream: “I promise. I’m actually—I’m not even kidding it’s huge—it’s like using redstone and stuff. It’s awesome.”
Which Techno later even highlights is true in the Prison Podcast [clip]:
Dream: “This is… To be fair, I did say I have a giant house. This is pretty giant.”
Techno: “I—I—this—it is filled with redstone. I didn’t think you were telling the truth, but here you are. Here you are…”
But even if you don’t want to believe me, you can believe cc!Dream as he talked about his own character’s reasonings and plans [which dr3 recently provided the transcript for]:
cc!Dream: “But when (c!)Dream—(c!)Dream put himself into the prison. It was, it was thought of as a very—it was thought of as a temporary thing and ended up lasting a lot longer than he had imagined. And also, on top of that, he didn’t expect that Awesamdude would let Quackity into fucking torture him. So that obviously made things a million times worse.”
So when Dream says to Tommy like a maniac as he chases him [clip]:
“They had to lock me up in an entire prison built just for me!”
He’s technically telling the truth.
As he says to Sam in Daedalus [clip]:
Dream: “Eh, I’m—I’m—I feel like I’m… primarily responsible for my imprisonment”
