Age Accurate Yellowjackets Cast Is Making Me Feel Rly Depressed Rn

both c!tommy and c!sapnap have said that Pandora's vault is a fate worse then death

Why is dreblr the only place to consistently use character tags???

I just saw a post that started off with ‘wilbur doesn’t like dream...’ THEY MEANT CC!WILBUR DOESN’T LIKE C!DREAM ?? MAKE CLEAR DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN C AND CC HOW IS THIS NOT UNIVERSAL

If you think c!dream deserves torture because ‘he doesn’t have any empathy’, you are not an ally to autistic people.

Lava itself is odourless, but some types release gases and minerals that have a strong smell. One of the most common gases is sulphur, which smells like rotten eggs. 1 2

Sulphur gas in high enough doses can be dangerous, but its detectable to the human nose even at safe levels. (Source)

Also according to this source, the lava oceans/source blocks in the nether and mc in general would probably be orourless, but the flowing lava and lava falls would have a strong smell. This also applies to pandoras vault!

(Also just imagine c!dream complaining about the awful smell in the vault, and piglin hybrid c!techno says it reminds him of home,,,)

fun fact- both the nether and pandoras vault probably smell like rotten eggs

C!dreams diet is not nutrionally sufficient. He has no source of vitamin A or B12. Whilst the latter cause extreme fatigue, the former cause vision problems, especially in low light conditions. He wouldn’t notice it in pandoras vault, not with the ever present lava, but afterwards he is so much more vulnerable. The night is an even bigger threat, and he carries a light source on him at all times.

C!dream learns to fear the night, the shadows, the unknown.

For those who’d like to minimize the impact of solitary confinement, here’s two excerpts from an article compiling accounts of those who were subjected to it.

‘From its earliest use in this country, we've known what isolation does to the minds of human beings. The first all-solitary-confinement prison in the U.S., in Auburn, New York, was shut down in 1822, after only 18 months of operation, when the governor visited and saw that every one of its 26 prisoners had become psychotic.’

‘Within the first week, I started talking to myself. I would think I was seeing stuff out of the corner of my eye. I would turn my head real fast, like I saw something in my cell. The hallucinations—it's not something a lot of us talk about, but all of us had them real bad. You see somebody else in your cell. You hear voices on the stair or coming through the vent.-Nelson’

On the whole who’s older, c!wilbur or c!techno debate I may have overthought my answer...

I love the idea of c!techno not knowing his birthday and choosing c!wilburs’ as his own? And this of course leads to many wonderful angst opportunities! But then I got to thinking.. how would c!techno know his birthday?? HOW DO PIGLINS TELL TIME??!!

There is no day/night cycle in the nether! Clocks don’t work!! There aren’t even seasons! But then I decided to just think up some cool piglin cultural practices that might work.

First of all piglins don’t have any sort of sleep schedule. They sleep when they want! The only real requirement is making sure that there are always some people awake and on lookout duty, and certain events might mean that an entire community is awake all at one time, but other then that it’s a case by case basis.

C!techno still has the strangest sleeping habits (at least to the overworlders around him). Whenever someone mentions their sleep schedule around him he gets incredibly confused. He can fall asleep whenever he needs to, in any light conditions (This comes in handy when he’s in pandoras vault). He may function similarly to someone with non-24-hour sleep-wake-disorder but I need to do more research before making that comparison! (Although that would certainly make an interesting point about the concept of the social model of disability? I may make a post in the future!).

How would piglins determine age? My idea around this is that age is determined by milestones. There are words in the piglin language that mean ‘walking age’ or ‘talking age’, and are used to refer to a child once they’ve reached that milestone. This may also mean that their society has a greater understanding of how different people mature at different speeds, that two children might meet their early milestones all at the same time, that may change as they get older, or vice versa. In the case of certain disabilities it would be looked at on a case by case basis, and if a certain milestone is skipped that wouldn’t be an issue! I imagine that ‘tusking age’ would be the most important, and correspond with the overworlds’ idea of adulthood. There are so many cool add ons that could be incorporated into this concept! For example ‘teaching age’ could be bestowed upon a piglin once they’ve grown to old to participate in combat, and instead act as teachers and community leaders.

When c!techno is asked his age, and then responds with a piglin word, everyone is incredibly confused. C!techno is then absolutely baffled by the overworld concept of age. He asks if these numbers always correspond to someones maturity, and is further confused when told no. Because if that was the case then why is so much importance placed on them! Mind you, he’s spent a while around an immortal so that definitely didn’t help his understanding.

If anyone has any additions to this I’d love to hear them! Worldbuilding is so much fun. I also hope there aren’t any glaring errors in this, but please let me know if there are

Many people are of the opinion that some of the abuses that C!Dream faces are in some way justified or excusable. Which, no! Abuse is never okay! But lets put that aside for one moment. Lets pretend that yes, c!dream being subject to solitary confinement is defensable due to the moral boundaries that he’d crossed. That he posed such a threat to other people, that he was bad enough of a person, that his rights are now null and void.

Where do we draw the line? I’m genuinely curious, at what point in the storyline did people no longer think he deserved adequate living conditions? What action did he take that then made it perfectly okay for him to be cut off from any form of support network? What moment meant that his canonical self harm could then be dismissed as attention seeking?

And if we’ve now established that there is some point when abuse is justified, surely that logic must be applied universally? What action would c!tommy have to take where exile was okay? Where is that line in the sand?

The logic behind excusing the conditions of pandoras vault is the same behind justifying the exile arc.

I’ve seen some people say that pandoras vault was fine until c!quackity started torturing c!dream.

Daily reminder that solitary confinement is a form of torture.

Are the c!dream antis ready to hear the research on solitary confinement yet or???
