#dreamons

Decided to finally sit down and design what I think dreamons look like when not mimicking anyone. Weird freakish ghostly white creatures that resemble undertale amalgamates. They’re like that because I want the to reference dreams stupid blob form. And also it ties into me making ranboo half dreamon, so thus their other half is still white like it makes sense.

If you have only ONE live specimen and you may NEVER get a second one you treat that thing like its made of GOLD do you know how much not violent research can be done? Let the species die naturally and you get years of research on behaviors and diet and stimuli and you STILL get to then poke around the organs.

Well, I thought about it for awhile and ended up coming up with an answer of sorts; “Dreamons” or demons are parasites that infect hosts and feed off of them before taking control of their life in order to infect the people who are emotionally close to the host. This allows for reproduction and for the parasite to spread itself further.

Going with a sort of realistic-minecraft style, close relationships between players create connections in code that a specific kind of dreamon (akin to a computer virus) can exploit to infect other players regardless of physical distance between the host and infectee.

It can even infect these players across servers, and added to the fact that this type heavily prefers to infect admins, it’s particularly deadly.

The process usually takes a month or two for the dreamon to prepare the other players for infection, and then in a period of a few hours it exploits the connections and wipes out anywhere from hundreds to thousands of players.

At that point, a select few number of those players have their physical bodies used like puppets to move to new servers and infect new admins.

c!Dream gets infected not long after he opens up his own server, he doesn’t realize it until it’s too late. Until he’s lost most control over his body.

He’s trapped inside his own head with the Dreamon, with only very limited bursts of control.

Dream realizes very quickly that he’s in the worst case scenario. He’s heard storiesof dreamons like this, and he knows what happens next.

Past admins have tried everything. Every cure, every combination of potions, every attempt to rip the Dreamon from their code. Nothing has had success in the past. Nothing saved their servers.

But c!Dream has something that no admin facing this challenge before him had:

A willingness to commit to incredibly stupid sounding impluses regardless of the cost to his wellbeing.

Because listen, he doesn't have zero control, he just has very little control.

And sure, he could probably communicate that's he's infectes to the rest of the server, even if the Dreamon would fight him on that.

They could try to do the impossible and find a cure, and most likely fail.

Or, Dream could speedrun ruining every relationship he's ever had so the Dreamon loses the ability to infect others.

Is it a sane plan?

No.

Does Dream have any real idea how he's going to pull it off?

Also no.
