end of thread! :) hope u liked it :D 

at the end of the stream we see that the sign in c!tommy's house is brown, meaning that the events leading up to when c!george was k worded by c!dream are all real! this is why i think that the dream is a direct reflection of how c!george feels inside after the betrayal 

but first, Reality. 

c!george just assuming that he wasn't able to visit c!dream in prison and not even bothering to check is, i feel, is a great example of c!george's apathy and avoidance tendencies. nevertheless, c!george still does care about c!dream since they had a lot of memories together and were best friends. since manhunt is dubiously canonized later in the stream by c!george, i'll assume for now that manhunt is part of the c!dteam's history, and that they have spent a lot of time together in different worlds 

now, c!george is a very materialistic and self-centered person. this can be seen from how his main goal whenever he logs onto the DSMP seems to always be to accumulate more material goods. also, he tried his best to gain as much as he could from Dream XD, so when c!dream proposes to c!george to join him and destroy kinoko kingdom in exchange for netherite and other goods, it might seem confusing why he refuses. however, when you take into account their history together and how c!dream betrayed c!george, it makes sense. furthermore, c!george is right: c!dream's plan to destroy kinoko kingdom in order to get c!sapnap to give him back his armor is very faulty, and doesn't make much sense at all. when c!dream says that george is "either with [him] or against [him]," it's clear that c!dream is either in an emotional state or portraying one, as both his plan against c!sapnap and this statement are very irrational. the juxtaposition of a rational c!george and a irrational c!dream further highlights the rift that has grown between them, despite the fact that c!george was glad to see c!dream. (side note, i see that all the star wars donos from the qna stream influenced cc!dream to quote it- i love it lol) considering this, having c!george completely flip out in a dream after being k by c!dream makes a lot of sense as it reflects his inner state of mind at the time. dreams are irrational and nonsense, which leads me to believe that a lot of c!george's responses and actions in his dream directly reflect his true thoughts and emotions in the waking world that isn't being hidden or suppressed.

c!george expresses a lot of destructive tendencies in his dream. he carelessly k words animals he sees, from named pets like shroud and steve to random fish he finds in the water. he goes to different builds and destroys them. he k words many people, from c!dream to c!karl. 

all of this takes place inside a DREAM, which is very important because dreams sometimes represent our subconscious mind and inner state. buildings in dreams often represent the Self, so for c!george to be destroying all of these buildings represents how he is losing his sense of self, which can be seen from how he struggles to distinguish Reality from Unreality frequently. for it to appear this prominently in his dream with so much rage may mean that c!george might feel a loss of agency and is scared and angry and frustrated with it all

additionally, innate desires and impulses in dreams are often represented by animals. all of the animals in the dream have companions. the school of fish have each other, shroud has c!tommy, and the dogs and steve and edward have c!techno and c!philza. for c!george to k word them all could mean that c!george has a deep desire to return to the days when c!dream team was whole and together, but is very conflicted with it or is suppressing it since c!dream has proven himself a traitor to him and c!sapnap. 

 as for the people, in dreams other people usually represent aspects of yourself, but in this instance i think it might represent how c!george views them and what kind of relationship he has with them. for example, he has a very antagonistic approach to dream c!dream but starts more calmly with c!karl and c!quackity. i saw @/angleaaaas tweet about how it might mean that it could represent how c!george is willing to cut other people off and destroy their relationship and i completely agree! i think it makes a lot of sense. furthermore, her point about how c!sapnap never appears in the dream is also very important. this dream is very destructive and unstable, and for c!george, c!sapnap is a stable figure in his life. he's stood by his side from the beginning to now. from his dethronement, to el rapids, to kinoko kingdom, c!sapnap has been there for c!george. hence, it would feel very wrong for him to be in such a self-destructive dream. i think c!dream would've shared this position in c!george's mind if not for his betrayal. 

 c!george also states that he wishes to burn everything down and rule over a new world. this seems to show his inner desire to start over and return to simpler times, back to the beginning. this also reflects his desire to regain control over his life and everything in it

aside from this when c!george k words everything and becomes a god, it's clear that c!karl's words in the dream are true: it seems that in his path to becoming a god, he has cut most of his ties to the mortal world. godhood represents c!george's idealized state: True Apathy

aside from introspective insights, there may be grains of truth and Reality in his dream, as c!george dreams often have. after all, c!george shouldn't know that c!karl can timetravel or that c!eret has a farm under their castle.

this leads me to some questions. does this mean that c!karl's words about c!george being the disaster he's trying to prevent is true? is k wording dream XD the way to become a god? when dream XD dyed, the same noise that plays when an enderdragon dyes played, does this mean that just how the enderdragon is the controlling the End, dream XD is controlling the world? or does that mean dream XD is an ender entity? they did say that the End is their kingdom. 

i have many questions, but i know this: c!george lore is epic

angle's tweet that i referenced!

insert qrt of this tweet:

https://twitter.com/angleaaaas/status/1486911859013951490

created jan 27 2022, tweet reads:

c!sapnap was never in c!george’s dream because that’s the only relationship george would never even think of destroying they’ve been through everything together and george doesn’t have it in him to k!ll or ruin whatever he has with sapnap /dsmp /rp

-

IMPORTANT CORRECTION MADE BY @/SAPNAPSSPlT: the sign is GREEN at the end, and so c!george was never k worded by c!dream! also i forgot that the c!tommy walls were still standing. i think most of what i said still stands tho- c!george is very upset by c!dream's breakout

also I just remembered that c!george went to go destroy the statue of HIMSELF and then said it was too much work… speaks volumes about his character… maybe he wants to but he’s too tired? but that doesn’t make sense because he did destroy all of those other builds

note: some of this is disjointed, some of it is just random thoughts. this is just how I like annotating

Title: Hitting on 16 Annotation Dump 

Speaker: "Las Nevadas" as told by c!Wilbur (this is because all of the lines open with "I am" and the last line is "I am turgid Las Nevadas") 

Side Note: throwback to when you had to do those poems in high school/secondary school

Side Note 2: themes of artifice, healing, pain, and corruption?

-

First Line: I am the gilding of the gold 

gilding with gold: covering up appearances to look good, hiding (reminds me of Gilded Age) 

gold: power, righteousness, wealth

-

Second Line: I am the painting of the lily 

painting: artistic, passionate, 'higher class'/elevated, sophisticated, not real, imitation of the real thing 

lily: purity, death...

-

Third Line: I am the crushing of the sand 

crush: violent connotations 

crushing of sand: sand is already crushed. overdoing it? overcompensation? tryhard? grind down to dust? dust = death 

 Side Note: lol sand

-

Fourth Line: I am the tirading tide of bland 

tide: ocean = change, purity, vast 

tirade: long angry speech: c!Quackity DID make Las Nevadas as part of his defiant attempt to reclaim agency and power...

bland: c!Wilbur sees all of this and deems it boring... uninspired. tasteless. (which he doesn't actually because he wouldn't have wanted to join if he truly believed this) -> plays into the burger empire, bland food haha

-

Fifth Line: I am the taunting silver light which penetrates and scars the sky 

The Needle! Or the Effiel Tower, not sure 

taunting: reminder that c!Wilbur is rejected from Las Nevadas... He can probably see this from the Burger Van. 

silver: pure, holy 

penetrates: occupies his mind.

sky - mind, reminds me of c!Quackity's wings scars: reminds me of c!Quackity's scar... maybe equating Las Nevadas sky to c!Quackity? or maybe c!Quackity is the embodiment of Las Nevadas... also the fact that c!Quackity has his office in the Needle, and he bases his operations in there, so if the scar = the needle then it's like his actions stem from his trauma and pain... (percieved by c!Wilbur?) Additionally, scars are signs of healed over injuries... c!Quackity trying to heal from the past and move on even though it hurts sometimes. But if Las Nevadas is "artificial and fake", does this mean that c!Quackity's healing is fake? (c!Wilbur thinks c!Quackity isn't actually healing?) Alternatively, the light/tower is doing the scarring, so maybe this is hurting c!Quackity rather than helping

-

Sixth Line: I am the remnant hopes and dreams of all good men that come to die 

remnant = ghost: relates to "come to die" 

hopes and dreams: c!Quackity wanting a place to belong and call a home/reclaim agency & power 

good men: the corruption of c!Quackity Sadge

come to die: people gamble in hopes of winning it big but just end up in debt, maybe saying that c!Quackity is gambling on Las Nevadas making his dreams (previously stated above) come true, but it will ultimately fail (RUDE)

-

Seventh Line: I am the surgeon's chromium dagger 

surgeon: precision, skilled, career with a high percentage of sociopaths, able to ruthlessly do what others can't/maybe saying c!Quackity/Las Nevadas has no empathy. Maybe a callback to the healing in line five?

L'Manburg was made with the intent of being a drug empire and later prioritized being a home, Las Nevadas was made to control the economy on the SMP... maybe c!Wilbur feels like it is heartless in comparison to L'Manburg?  Even though they were both started as financial projects, Las Nevadas is on a very different scale... maybe some jealousy? 

chromium: shiny 

dagger: different connotation from sword, sword is more affiliated with knights and daggers are more associated with thieves = sneaky/cunning

-

Eighth (Final) Line: I am turgid Las Nevadas 

turgid: reminds me of turd not gonna lie 

swollen: infection? rotten, corrupted? impure intentions compared to L'Manburg? 

pompous: c!Wilbur thinks it is stuck-up 

Concludes that Las Nevadas has these qualities

-

Theory: self-projection by c!Wilbur. Might feel like he is putting on these ideas of grandeur but is actually investing into false hope and grasping at dreams to hold onto. Blandness... being tired... sounds like depression. Taunting light, he wants that healing for himself?  But he recognizes that it is unhealthy... unhealthy coping mechanisms? Jealous maybe? of c!Quackity who seems to have it together and wants that for himself while putting down c!Quackity/Las Nevadas because he wants them on the same level, to be kindred spirits. But he also recognizes that c!Quackity doesn't entirely have it all together, which is why he keeps poking at him to see the ugly, the anger. He doesn't want to be alone in his pain. Misery loves company and he is misery. He wants this shiny exterior to be fake, and to some extent he is correct. c!Quackity is in pain and he is hurting- he's trying to hold on and pull himself together and move on because if he doesn't it'll ruin him. Reminds me of c!Schlatt's ghost in the lore teasers...  c!Wilbur recognizes maybe that Las Nevadas is a place born from trauma and pain, and identifies with it. I am Las Nevadas, born from pain.

extras notes (created march 26th 2022): ADDING TO THE THEME OF ARTIFICE !! the fact that the desert is manmade!

inserted link to the following tweet

https://twitter.com/linktoo_craft/status/1507429054072471560

transcript of the tweet thread by @linktoo_craft (originally created march 25th 2022):

literally will never get over how poetic it is that quackity's las nevadas is an artificial desert

(addition march 26th 2022) The way it was originally a snow biome. Quackity rebuilt it by himself to his own vision of his city as a means to make it his own. It's a fake desert. Nevadas is translated to snow in spanish. Embellished and beautiful in its artificiality, a city of lights.
