I don't think he'll be present for some of the next asks you guys...

Hypothetically, if c!Quackity were to noncon c!dream in prison (which i honestly dont think he'd do), what do you think c!dreams reaction would be? What would c!sam do? Do you think he'll allow it?

I'm answering this from a hypothetical canon-compliant perspective, ie, that everything onscreen happens as in canon, but that there's offscreen sexual violence.

So I'll answer your last question first, which is something I've explored a bit in Strangling Fruit. Sam wouldn't "allow" it, in that I think he'd be categorically unable and unwilling to acknowledge any sexual violence happening in the prison (under his supervision, with his cooperation). But would he do anything to stop it?

Sam wants Dream dead and he doesn't; he wants Dream in prison above anything else; he wants to subdue Dream; he wants Dream to obey him and he's willing to sell his soul to make that happen. He's basically willing to acknowledge all of that.

What Sam is not ready or willing to acknowledge is how Dream, and his relationship with Dream, has been so deeply integrated into his identity. That kind of closeness, that emotional reliance, and yes, intimacy, isn't something Sam can think about with a clear head. It's one of the reasons that the violence Quackity commits, sexual or not, is something he's so strange about: both taking ownership of it and distancing himself from it.

Making some of that violence specifically sexual hammers on basically all of Sam's buttons at once. 1) It's morally repugnant in a way that's unrepentant: it's nakedly sadistic in a way Sam can't maintain apologetics for. 2) It's intimate, it acknowledges intimacy, and it basically forces Sam to confront the idea that his own desires to subdue Dream are also intimate. I don't mean this in a sexual sense, but in an emotional sense: Sam wants to know everything Dream knows, have Dream obey him, break Dream's will. 3) It threatens Sam's power over Dream: it's a closeness to and knowledge of Dream that Sam doesn't have, and cannot get without feeling yucky. It threatens his ownership and his responsibility and his morality.
