Hope The Cat It's So Cute!! How's She?

c!dream: trust me bro i am totally gonna do [thing he could've done already] if you don't stop me. i'm gonna do this for Reasons. by the way i built this giant prison also for Reasons. i wasn't gonna put you in this giant prison but now i will, for Reasons. who was i gonna put in the prison? You Don't Need To Know but it's you now. umm i'm going to kill your friend or something and then put you in the prison if you don't stop me (perhaps with this prison that i just told you about? 👀👀) why? Reasons. trust me i am totally gonna steal everyone's items look what i already have [his own fish, some random animals, this axe he just got, skeppy cage] say goodbye to your friend while i count to ten for way longer than ten seconds. oh look it's punz with the entire server for some reason coming through this giant portal i made sure to frame in the most cinematic way possible. put my items in the hole? sure i couldn't possibly fight all these people [takes a billion op items off his pockets] yeah sure go ahead kill me. thanks i am literally nowhere near any of these people now and could easily escape but i will come back since you threatened to kill yourself. by the way i can revive people so you can't kill me permanently or everyone is dead forever (you can put people inside prisons if you can't kill them 👀)

c!tommy, c!tubbo, c!wilbur: wow that was all very convenient wasn't it very weird

majority of the fandom, apparently: no it sounds legit

men will say stop calling me puppy and then look like this

we're so fucking back

To be honest, something I see a lot in fanfiction is the reasoning for Dream’s mask being about how Dream can’t control his facial expressions well and is too readable, making him vulnerable to people knowing exactly what he’s thinking and feels. Personally though, especially now that we can reasonably say that Dream is autistic, I think it’s actually the opposite.

At least in my experience, with myself and with other autistic people, often the trouble is making the appropriate facial expression with the proper enthusiasm. Like telling a joke and people not know if you are kidding or not because you say it with such a straight face. Something I really struggle with is emoting excitement and joy so I have to be extra conscious of making sure my face is portraying how I feel so people don’t get the wrong idea.

The other thing I have to be aware of facially is eye contact, making sure to do the proper amount and/or don’t look somewhere else that makes it seem like you aren’t paying attention. (This is something I’ve realized since diagnosis that I am good at but hate, which is why I plan socializing around activities so I can focus on that instead of looking at the person.)

These are just a couple of the things on my mind when having a conversation (along with body language, tone of voice, what I’m saying…etc), that can really change how people perceive you. When not executed well people can really get the wrong impression of you, even thinking that you’re super intense, serious, a bitch, cold because your facial expressions are so stern and neutral, when in reality you could be feeling a lot of things (many people in high school didn’t talk to me and when asked later they said they were intimidated by me, and I think this might be one of the reasons why).

So, because of this, personally, I think Dream wears a mask not because he’s too open, but because he doesn’t emote properly or just doesn’t want to bother to try and emote properly, and dislikes eye contact. To not have to focus on making proper eye contact and facial expressions takes away that factor of misunderstanding and just makes conversing a lot less work and more comfortable. With a mask on, he doesn’t have to work on that part of his social masking (;D lol), now he can look where he wants and just have a resting bitch face if he wants to without worrying about how it comes across. That’s what I think is more likely the reason Dream wears a mask because he is actually naturally less expressive.

Furthermore, perhaps if he lost his mask in prison then maybe that’s a reason people in the prison are generally more cold to him and see him as less human because his expressions are so blank, giving people the perception that he’s very cold. Therefore making it easier for Sam and Quackity and even Tommy to hurt and dehumanize Dream in prison because subconsciously they are put off by his lack of emoting, which only further adds to the idea that Dream is some embodiment of evil…

Can't belive making my cat a jacket and little mittens is a crucial part of getting him healthy again

Ok because we're getting new twt refugees again:

Things I WISH I knew about DTBLR before I joined DTBLR:

(with the assumption that you already understand site software mechanics)

Everyone here is a lot more relaxed than Twitter. People make long posts about stuff because we have (essentially) no character limit.

REBLOG IT. This goes for art, fics, funny joke posts, literally anything. Tumblr does NOT have an algorithm so if you see something you want other people to see you need to reblog it.

Comments go in the tags of posts usually, not the reblog text itself.

✨TAG IT✨ Tag your discourse, tag your triggering content, but especially TAG YOUR FLASHING LIGHTS AND STROBING GIFS/VIDEOS WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN 'EPILEPSY'

Set up your blog with a pfp and a header and a title other than 'untitled', otherwise people will think you're a bot and block you

Going back to being more relaxed, Dtblr is suuuuuuuper relaxed about cc boundaries. CCs do not use Tumblr. They cannot see it. You might feel differently about this but trying to bother or harass someone because 'that's against xyz's boundaries!' will get you blocked and ignored.

SEND PEOPLE ASKS!!! Asks are a lovely feature of Tumblr and they encourage discussion and open communication. Ask away new friends :D
