Quick Sketch Before I Go To Sleeeepp

Quick sketch before I go to sleeeepp

Just analyzing Tommy's video here

This type of skit roast content has been around for years.

The thing it's important to note as a difference from the average is that Tommy has interacted with every single one of these creators aside from Tate (as far as I know. I'm not up to date on my Tommy lore.)

I could definitely see this as being a way to voice opinion without starting direct shit. Especially with Tate and Logan, when we consider how their target audiences overlap quite a bit. It may be important for Tommy for his audience to understand that those two aren't great influences. (I see in this interpretation of the video an echo of how I've seen Wilbur act with Tommy, for example with the James Charles thing)

And the fact that the ending was "if you're offended you've got money" instead of "I'm just joking around haha some of us are friends"? Yeah. This is a statement piece.

I am so fucking angry about Dream stans (mostly on Twitter, though they are here) being like “can you BELIEVE people are upset that a minor 😱😱😱 was messaging with an ADULT!! LMAOO wait until they get into the real world and find out that 17 year olds can be friends with 25 year olds. Next they’re gonna call Tommy messaging Schlatt dangerous!!”

It was not that she was 17 and Dream was 20. The age gap was not the issue.

It was that Dream had a position of power over her and abused it. 

He knew he had this position from the very start, as she was a fan of his and their first messages with each other was her telling him how much his content had helped her through depression.

[Image ID: a screenshot of an Instagram direct message to Dream that reads “Hi, the chances of you seeing this are very slim, but I wanted to let you know that your content makes me sooo happy. Ive been really depressed lately, all thats going on in the world and in my life and your videos give me one more reason to stay. You know how people type “LMAO” and dont actually laugh? I actually sit in bed laughing when im watching you. That means a lot [Unclear emoji]. Love you Dream!❤️ -Amanda”. Dream replied and wrote “aw thank you for the kind words :)”. End ID]

This means that he knew full well that her wellbeing was somewhat dependant on his content. She says that his videos gave her one more reason to stay alive.

He confirmed that the Instagram messages are real. 

[Image ID: a screenshot of Dream’s twitlonger regarding the allegations that reads “The second thread had instagram dms from me, again, having friendly normal conversation and nothing inappropriate. I believe these message are real as well. Once”. End ID]

Thusly, the Snapchat messages that haven’t been deleted are, without a doubt, real, because he tells her the name of his private Snapchat in the Instagram messages. They cannot be ignored.

It is incredibly inappropriate for Dream to message her on Snapchat knowing that she was 17 and a fan at the time and that messages can easily be erased. That on its own would be uncomfortable, but he was talking to her in a flirtatious manner.

[Image ID: a screenshot of a Snapchat message by Dream/Clay that is a reply to a video sent by Amanda that reads “ur gorgeous as fuck”. End ID]

This is not normal, friendly behavior. Especially with a fan who is underage and has said that she is emotionally invested in his content.

This is predatory. Several girls have come forward. This proves that Dream not only has more than once, but likely will again, use his platform and power to engage in sexual relationships with underage girls.

He cannot have a platform anymore.

Please, read this post about the Snapchat messages, this post about why Tommy messaging Schlatt and other CCs was completely different, and these two threads about his response to the situation (thread one) (thread two) and how it was manipulative and more focused on his audience rather than adressing the allegations. 

This thread includes most of the information regarding the situation.

IM LYSANDER BUT WE GENDERBENT IT THAT IM A GIRL SO IM LYSANDRA

I GOT MY CAST LIST FOR MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM

so imagine. you’re schlatt right. your best friend’s always been pretty, always been flirty, always been one to joke around and call you princess, and you don’t commit easy but you know a bit when you see one so you grin right back and match his steps and kiss him once or twice, over campfires, tasting liquor and smoke and dirt, and once or twice more, dripping rainwater, poking bruises, and more and more and your sweaters get stuck in his closet, your hands get caught in his hair, you tangle up in each others’ dropped stitches and he laughs at your jokes and plays you his songs and makes things with you, ideas, little houses, towering nonsense spires and his teeth get stuck in your neck, his guitar picks sit in your bag, his name is sugary in your mouth, and it’s easy.

and it’s one day too many waking up in his bed before you realize you need to go. he doesn’t tell you he loves you but you can feel it in the way he cooks your breakfast and the questions that he asks and the beers in the fridge that he only buys for you. he doesn’t tell you he loves you but you learn how to make tea and what his favorite languages are and how his heartbeat sounds when he laughs and suddenly, urgently, you know you can never hear him say it because if you did you’d melt back into this, into days and days of sunkissed skin and dreaming on soft sheets. someday you have to wake up.

so you take your beers and you give him his picks and you tell him you hate him, just to make it stick, spit it like chewing tobacco. he doesn’t need you around, so you certainly don’t need him. you walk away from his house, steps measured and slow, because running is for fucking cowards, running is for when you need to make leaving easier on yourself, and you, of all people, don’t need easy. imagine you’re schlatt. congratulations- you don’t need anyone! now you can get some real progress made.

(and always, always, you will toast to love lost, love surgically removed, love quelled before it could spread. always, in your dreams, you will walk the same halls, never quite able to open the bedroom door.)

I’ve slept off the Halloween parties and eaten my candy, so you know what that means—it’s officially Huevember!! One painting a day for a whole month, each one a different colour. I’ve got my colour wheel made and I’m so excited to get into it!

Let’s start off with Day 1: Welcome to Secret Life! GeminiSlay can go a bit feral, as a treat ⚔️🌸⚔️
