So Why Did I Ghost Everyone And Abandon This Blog? And Why Did the DSMP fall apart? And how are these two things related?
This is going to get long, but it's been eating away at me for years, so I think it's time to rip the bandage off.
So, in mid 2020, I [Dave] was introduced to a guy named Clay (who stated he was at least 21) by an at-the-time mutual friend. I didn't think much of him, but he managed to worm his way into my personal life and friend group.
Cut to late 2020, Clay manipulated my partner [K] into falling for him and coerced me into agreeing to polyamorously date him (also allowing the two of them to date). During this time, Clay was telling us that he was the minecraft youtuber, Dream, and provided us with screenshots (which were quickly deleted after we confirmed we saw them), and even seeing him log into the minecraft server we shared As Dream.
At the end of 2020, following the Dream Cheating Scandal, Mr. Beast bought out the Dream Name and actually replaced Clay (so this guy and the guy who face revealed are two different people) - after which he showed up to our home basically unannounced and moved in with us, without giving us any choice.
Notice that this is also around the time that the DSMP wound down and eventually fell apart, and all of Dream's friends mysteriously quit the SMP and started their own thing. Also notice that he did post a picture of himself sampling merchandise (I think it was a hoodie?) and think: This is NOT the same person who did a face reveal. It's clear that the bodies and hands are totally different.
Also note: The voices in his old videos versus his new videos are totally different. He was using an audio filter to pitch down his voice and "disguise" it.
Within a week of him forcefully moving in with us, Clay began raping me. Despite my having told him that I was asexual and not interested in sex (which he said was fine), he barged into my room naked after I had gotten out of the shower and DEMANDED we had sex, and proceeded to threaten me until I complied. The bedroom was on a second story and he blocked the door. I had no exit and no way to defend myself.
This is how I spend the next ~ 6 months of my life. Hostage in my own home, not allowed to leave without his permission.
He was with us for about 6 months, all of which was spent threatening us with legal action, doxxing, financial crippling, emotional and physical abuse, and assault. We lost thousands of dollars trying to house him while he freeloaded off of myself and my partner - we're both disabled and my partner is actually dying from kidney failure.
He held the promise of money, housing, and even a working kidney over both our heads. It also turns out that he had freshly turned 19, and he admitted that his brother had lied on all of his paperwork to get him his license early. So I have no idea how old he really was.
He isolated both K and myself from nearly all of our friends, tried to isolate us from family, and even went as far as to bring cocaine into our house, despite asking him many times not to bring any illegal drugs in. (We literally live in a city where weed is totally legal and he had no problem stealing our weed and alcohol, so what the fuck)
After several severe psychotic breaks, we finally managed to kick Clay out - but not after months of being severely traumatized, abused and gaslit daily.
Three years later, this shit still haunts me. I will never be the same. In truth, the person who originally inhabited this body [Dave] underwent such severe psychological trauma that he/we/I developed acute DID, underwent several splits, and the original person completely vanished. I'm actually writing this as a totally different person now [Derek]. He still sends my partner and I threatening texts, his parking tickets and violations in the mail, etc.
As recently as a few weeks ago (today is 4.5.23) he was sending K harassing texts.
TLDR: I got raped and abused by Dream Minecraft after he was bought out and replaced.
Please don't harass the current Dream over this, as he has nothing to do with what Clay did.
Shit he did:
Raped me and K
Financially abused us
Stole possesssions from us
Attempted to hoard animals in our home
Brought cocaine into the house
Threatened us with physical violence and assault
Threatened us with emotional abuse
Threatened us with legal action
Threatened us with Mr. Beast and his Youtube Connections
Tried to Bribe us with youtube connections
Gaslit us
Outed a closeted trans friend to his entire friend group
Beat K with a door
Chased teenagers and threatened them
Pretended to pull a gun on people multiple times
Reckless driving and endangerment
Stole food, items, money and alcohol
Promised to help financially support us, only to financially cripple us
Held the promise of money, medical support and housing over two severely disabled people
Refused to let people sleep if he was Upset
Purposefully triggered us in order to get a reaction out of us so he could turn around and yell "abuse"
PHYSICALLY Held K hostage several times
Tried to get us to both elope with him separately
I've also since connected with quite a few of his ex-romantic partners and friends. They confirm and corroborate the fact that he exhibited the exact same behaviors with them.
Maybe one day I'll compile all the discord chats and texts and shit into a google drive and post it for the world to see, but considering now I'm basically completely physically and mentally incapacitated - today is not that day.
Reblog this, don't reblog this. Blow this up, don't blow this up.
I don't fucking care anymore - I've paid my dues for this. I just want it off of my chest and off of my mind.
If you still have me on discord, feel free to ask about it.
Otherwise, people I haven't spoken to in over a year, I'll be removing you within the week.
Best Wishes to everyone except Clay,
Derek.
