Childhood memories

[REST OF THE FUCKIN COMIC UNDER CUT TUMBLR IS STILL BROKEN FOR ME]

I was typing up a theory for if c!slimecicle was the time traveler, when I got hit with a massive reminder.

Dream was the first person that DreamXD had ever seen. That’s why DreamXD took Dream’s face, was because he was the first.

If DreamXD has lived for thousands of years, millions as he claims, then how could Dream be the first person he’d ever seen? Easy, because Dream was one of the first in existence. DreamXD made him to be a time traveler, perhaps for some fun, or perhaps to see what would happen. Maybe Dream was different in the past, maybe he was a completely different person.

Dream’s god complex could come from the experiences he had as a time traveler, seeing as perhaps he was more experienced in it. He could literally play his own god by changing time whenever he felt like it. Something doesn’t go his way? He could simply go back and make it his way. When Dream started to forget, DreamXD might’ve seen this as a chance to get rid of Dream, who was currently going through God Complex city.

It could be another reason why Dream finds Attachments as weaknesses. Dream might not remember his time as a time traveler, but he could still remember all the lessons he learned that he engrained in himself. He might not know his reasons to everything, but he knows he needs it.

One thing I’ve noticed about the MCYT (Dream SMP, specifically) community on both Tumblr and Twitter is that when informed of things that are ableist, or harmful to ND people, a lot of people ignore the post/tweet, derail it or actively fight against it.

“I’m ND so I can’t be ableist” is a common statement, which is blatantly untrue. Even I’ve used ableist terms and phrases before, without realising they were harmful. So as a neurodivergent person, with autism, BPD, depression/anxiety, dyslexia, psychosis & brain damage*: here’s some common ableist things both CCs and fandom say almost constantly**.

*note that not every neurodivergent person will agree with me on these, but these are commonly ableist things people have previously talked about online, and/or have been discussed between me and other neurodivergent friends. No minority can ever speak for the entire group.

**note that a lot of these are common outside the MCYT community as well, and that some of these are just considered societally acceptable. This isn’t okay, but it explains why a lot of people don’t recognise jokes or comments like these are wrong, and it means that it’s not a direct moral failing of people that they don’t immediately or directly recognise these comments as wrong.
