#dnf analysis

i actually like that there’s discourse over this bc hearing everyone’s unique poetic takes is so enjoyable 🥰 but my belief is that it’s similar to the dnf dogboy/catboy consensus, because dream can be a dogBOY but a cat PERSON if he’s similar to a puppy but likes kittens. dream can be a sun personality type and be drawn to moon types, while george is vice versa.

☀️dream as a sun☀️

dream’s personality invites attention and exudes influence. he’s like the main character, the center of the system.

he almost ‘gives life to the world’ the way he brought fame to other streamers and joy to so many viewers

he’s like an ‘initiator/creator’ with how he comes up with most ideas and founded cultural reset typa shi like the dream smp

tl;dr he shines really bright and allows everyone else to reflect his light & shine along with him :]

(he’s also willing to burn for himself and for others, with how often he has to stand up for himself and people he loves against crazy & sometimes bad attention :[ )

florida man. leo boy. LOLLL

☀️dream as a moon-lover☀️

hopeless romantic!!!!!!!! the moon is a symbol of romance, heck even i myself have a whole song playlist named ‘lune’ (yeah shoutout musician!dream AHAH)

he prioritizes loyalty, appreciates beauty, and favors the people who keep him grounded

when asked what he likes most about george? once he answered humility (‘u don’t brag about your money or status or looks’) and in another, how he takes criticism well and is willing to change

🌙george as a moon🌙

sky @georgeliker found a quote that best encapsulates george’s moon side :>

“the moon is a loyal companion it never leaves, the moons connection to water and it’s tides represents our emotions and subconscious mind - what we see on the surface does not reflect what is going on underneath nor does it reveal its vast depths, it is reliable and straightforward but also inconceivably mysterious, beautiful and tickles our romantic instinct”

well-known for beauty, and for being a mystery, the depths of george lore will remain one of the 7 wonders of the world

everyone is drawn to him. his magnetic simp gravity........

george being known to bring up the mood in every call parallels how the moon brings up the tides

sky also mentioned the lunar phases which have been said to affect the mood, the way george seems to influence his environment easily :]

he doesn’t ‘shine as bright’ but he always shines, always cheerful, when it’s dark, when others aren’t feeling as up to it, when it counts

heck, he doesn’t even need to be present sometimes to indirectly change the course of history, /rp or otherwise

🌙george as a sun-lover🌙

“because it’s practical” LOL u know this summarizes everything

he’s drawn to bright & loving people :] also ppl with lots of influence & money SHSKSHDKS

he appreciates anyone and anything that is useful, even just a lil bit

a fan of colors despite being colorblind (abstract art as his pfp), and his fave biome is the flowers <33

☀️🌙 dnf dynamic 🌙☀️

“Tell me the story about how the sun loved the moon so much, he died every night to let her breathe” oh, the same way dream would do anything to make george happy? 🥴🤧🤕

“the sun is constant... sometimes (George) sleeps through the day, but it’s okay, because he knows the sun will be there tomorrow as well” -this post i love by @gogysglasses

dream recognizes that there’s so much more to george beyond his pretty surface and is obsessed with knowing every detail, the true keeper of george lore o7

george knows exactly how to calm dream down and keep him going, and has his phone number set to pass through do not disturb because ‘he needs him sometimes’, often easing his anxieties

“George, i’m gonna blow up, come with me” -> Dream’s light reflecting causes George to shine with him, and change the world together <3

the way they ‘link’ and don’t have to speak to understand each other, and having each other’s presence around like in calls even though they’re miles and miles away is enough to calm them & make them happy

the gravity that pulls them together is too strong ;)

written in the stars maybe?

the chances are so, so slim, but when they do meet, the whole world is eclipsed and can only watch in awe :)

🌍 by the way, hotheaded young sapnap is definitely the earth. they all revolve around each other :) 🌏

aand as thank u for sitting through my rambles, here’s a sun/moon!dnf doodle i made for yesterday’s 404cord alt stream recap!

most people hear that sentence and infer that dnf is not real because a) they are not dating and b) it's never going to happen. while 'a' is probably true, at least i personally believe it to be, 'b' is not necessarily the correct interpretation, despite it being the most common one for whatever reason. i often see people in comments on yt or other places claiming that dream said they aren’t dating and never will. but.

"have no plans to" does NOT actually = never.

if i say, "i have no plans to go to the grocery store this week," what would you infer from that? what you should infer is that right now, this current week, i will not go to the grocery store. however it would be really odd to assume that just because i am not going to the grocery store this week, that i will never go.

maybe a grocery store trip analogy is too biased, since everyone has to go to a grocery store eventually and dng do not have to date eventually.

let's use a different example. if i say "i have no plans to quit my current job" would you assume from my saying that, that i will always have that job? life is unpredictable. just because i have no plans for my employment to end, does not mean it won't end anyway. i mean, sure, i could end up working there the rest of my life. plenty of people spend their entire lives working for a single company. but i could also quit one day due to dissatisfaction with my job/employer/wages or because i found better employment elsewhere, or because i got fired unexpectedly.

the point? the phrase "no plans to ___" simply means no current plans. it's not a definite, and it's not a never.

this phrasing is so interesting to me because it means dream used foresight, and we all know he's good at that. he knew he would blow up on youtube, and he did. he uses it all the time in manhunts (and explains it to us in his analysis vids), and uses it when he's playing games against people he knows well. so allow me to adjust my tin hat here, but i think dream foresaw (or currently foresees) that there could possibly come a time when "no plans" is made obsolete. and hey, i could be wrong, but it’s still interesting that he has used that same phrase multiple times to describe their relationship status. it could even be subconscious for all we know, rather than premeditated. i just think he words it that way for a reason though. he’s a smart guy, it’s very plausible.

still, it really is perfect phrasing to use, because it's so flexible. even if things change later, what he said was never untrue. there were no plans, but things happened anyway. i believe he says it this way because it allows him to be honest with everyone now, to keep anyone who goes too far in line, and keep the things (or feelings) he wants private to stay that way, while also not putting him in an uncomfortable position later and no need to explain himself if things ever do change.
