DREBLR REJOICE! WE HAVE BROUGHT HOME HOPE THE CAT

Thinking about my younger self and the oddly poetic thoughts i had, still have never met anyone quite as existential as 10yo me

amnesia as a trauma response has the potential to be so fucking funny because imagine you just spent like 6 months breaking Whumpee down piece by piece, stripping them of their rights, destroying their mind and body with scars that will never heal, relishing in the irrevocable damage done by your hand even after they've been rescued

and then you run into them at a grocery store and they're like "oh hey (: sorry didn't see you there ((((: no i have no idea who you are but you're blocking the shelf i need to look at"

my ass would be humbled so goddamn fast. i would be shinji gripping the sink sobbing in the mirror because Whumpee basically just called me cringe. my brilliant torturing apparently meant fuckall and i'm not even worth the time of day. they'd probably misspell my name on a starbucks cup. whumper turned whumpee because how do i recover from that. what the fuck.

the problem with this culture of dehumanizing the people you hate is nothing is ever good enough. there is no apology someone can give that will be 'enough' once they have been othered. it won't be sincere enough, it won't be long enough, it won't be good enough.

because apology and growth were never the goals. the goal was always to have something to use to punish the person with.

There's something to be said for c!Dream actually switching to c!Schlatt's side for the book. A purely transactional move: c!Dream (as even stated by cc!Dream) had no motive to side with c!Schlatt other than the book. He was just holding up his end of a deal. Even when there wasn't really anyone capable of enforcing that deal! Like, yeah, c!Dream obviously had other stuff going on with c!Wilbur behind the scenes re. L'Manberg's destruction, and he wasn't exactly giving the war effort his usual level of enthusiasm—he literally led them straight to c!Schlatt—but he did still fight! There was still some semblance of a battle, no matter how one-sided, and I'm not convinced there would've been had c!Dream not stayed.

Because c!Dream really didn't have to stay. It would've been so easy to just take the book and leave everyone to fight their battles without him, or even to openly join Pogtopia's side, but he didn't. It says a lot about his insistence on fair exchanges, deals, favors for favors. Even when his reputation as a "good person" is beyond repair, he strives to maintain that reputation as a trusted ally.
