Technoblade Visits Dream [ DreamSMP animatic ]

(Re-uploaded from the premiere because i said screw it and posted it as a normal video)
Wowee, my longest video . Hopefully this is the last time I’ll make videos longer than 4 min...but it’s not a promise. My storage is very full rn
Suprisingly took me 2-4 weeks
Uhhh. Oh yeah, since this was a long video and i was rushing, the techno frames weren’t really consistent and some frames might look..eh.
But anyway, hope you guys enjoy this.
EDIT: YES i know the techno design is from sadist, i was inspired, there. Please stop pointing it out.
EDIT 2: Provided a link to sarcoma research on an info card, because I cant set a fundraiser due to me living in australia. So go gog og gog go donate to charity *bell noises*

EDIT 2: Provided a link to sarcoma research on an info card, because I cant set a fundraiser due to me living in australia. So go gog og gog go donate to charity **bell noises** EDIT: YES i know the techno design is from sadist, i was inspired, there. Please stop pointing it out. You do realize other artists have used this design too? I rushed this, so some techno frames might look eh. Before you go “wth is that dream design” First, he got tortued by quackity (if you’re wondering why he looks so eh..) second, I have a headcanon that since c!dream isn’t human, i thought that the common fanon dream design (human) could be like dream’s form or whatever, and whenever he loses a canon life or gets heavily injured (same thing), his ‘human’ form starts cracking or something idk and kinda reveals his true form, which is probably a white void or blob thing. (Also applys with dreamXD or other dreamons but dreamXD is already in his true form) *Henceforth, ‘that’s what the mask is’ Idk i wanted to make something original, I was inspired by one of my old OCs i made a few years ago, idk if someone has the same idea tho, if so then i like this headcanon It’s hard to explain in words, so when i draw the design, I’ll post it on my social medias *he wears a mask to hide his imperfections edit: 28/11/23 THAT GREEN MAN SUCKS BTW

[@roomannoodle]

The design for dream is actually really cool. Most people draw him with a broken mask, or no mask at all, but you drew him as if he WAS the mask. That he was the one chipping away into pieces. It's interesting that you thought of him as if he wasn't human, but as a void or blob. (sorry if this is completely wrong, but thats what i took from this? It's still a really cool design tho)

[@nehb1332]

Your design is surprisingly similar to what I had in mind! I mean this in a positive way and I really like the concept you've come up with!

[@teawith_milkplease8448]

That's so creative most ppl only draw him without the mask and bruises on him, or with a broken mask. I would have never thought of that design tbh

[@yoshi_705]

He gives me a LN/LG or TN/NG feeling. He TRIES to be good, but he’s still associating with evil(ish, at least manipulative) people, and doing things through evil(ish) methods. Before Tommy dying, cutting Ponk’s arm off and stuff, I would say 100% LG, but with things such as Ghostbur, letting Quackity torture a trapped prisoner pretty much as close to death as anyone else, with little to no way to defend himself against a capable opponent (though Dream kinda deserves it) aren’t the most Good things in the world, and he seems more Lawful as he’s been enforcing his rules and the prison’s rules hard, although he’s been chaotic at times, I wouldn’t say he is. But that’s what I think. You can disregard everything I’ve said, not much I can do.

Even if he knew about quakity and sam he'd still go there to tqlk to dream and take the "info" from dream. Which is like the plans and the conversation of dream and others but i think he would set dream free and he would learn how to write the revive book and then st dream free and then they might work together or might became the biggest rivalry because both of them have the revive book and one of them might betray the other one

[@fastboy988]

yes

[@lemenadeinc3816]

The syndicate will probably break them out, and here’s how it might work: The first move will probably be to send Niki. Reasons? Phil is way too untrustworthy to visit the prison, he is definitely too close to Techno and even Sam knows that, it would be wayyy too obvious. They won't send Ranboo though, because he WANTS to be trapped in the prison with Dream, and there's been way too many weird incidents with him and the prison. Also, close contact with Dream is not advised. So, the most logical choice will be to send Niki, with no widely known record of contact with Techno or Dream, because the Syndicate is highly confidential and secret. Niki will be sent in, and chances are Phil and Ranboo will be RIGHT behind her with invis like Tommy did with Ghostbur. When Niki arrives at the final room with the lava, and it goes down, Techno will recognize her but Ranboo might get a little angsty because of Dream. Then both Phil and Ranboo will attack Sam and get Techno out, but the ninety percent chance of Dream going with them will also come into play. However, for a little spice, what if Quackity visits the prison right as the group is about to leave? That would be juicy-

[@robinfeathers]

thats a good idea, though sam mentioned when building the prison that theres a button by the respawn point for the guards that locks down the entire prison and he has even more maxed out armor in there too

[@all_the_stars_in_the_skies]

Or um.. y'know... his will he gave Phil could be instructions to activate the ender pearl stasis chamber to teleport Techno out of the prison with the books of info Dream wrote down for him so he can use Wilbur (who's had so much time in limbo to think that hes really smart now and he acts like Dream is his hero bcs of his revivial) to help make a plan to break out Dream.

I know they're supposed to be the 'villains especially Dream. But... Dream wanted to order, he basically wanted peace and people to abide by the rules. And people didn't do that, Tommy destroyed houses. Burnt down places, Killed people. But he gets away with it because he's the youngest, the people love him. Dream's had to resort to what he's done to try and maintain the server. Right from the start, he wanted them to work as a team, but instead, Tommy and his friends entered the world and started their own thing. Our boi has had to resort to these measures because of what the people do around him, and they class him as a villain. (And no matter what he's done. He doesn't deserve to be tortured) I'm all here for Quackity getting what he deserves for unlawfully torturing Dream

Reason Techno wanted a bell besides his retirement plan: Techno has an ender pearl waiting for him so Phil can bring him home anytime he wants. But he needed to waste the wish so that Dream would teach him the revive book. That way, they get another wish. But Techno can always teleport out and come rescue Dream.
