Consider: he’s just a lil guy

I might be crazy for this, but I don't actually think that any of Dream's relationships were beyond repair, if he chose to try to fix them.

I think that a big part of how Dream processes so many losses is by leaning into that cold, logical side of himself, rather than lingering on emotions. He can rationalize his pain in a way that makes it seem normal to him, and therefore not something worth getting upset about—and, weirdly enough, he's more likely to do this with the people who have hurt him the most (e.g. Quackity), not less. (The only real pitfall is that this justification is usually used when he's talking about people, rather than to them.)

But if his friends have reasons for turning on him, then they're no different from Dream himself, right? And Dream sure as hell knows he's done plenty wrong. He doesn't seem opposed to admitting to his past, nor to apologizing for things he's genuinely sorry for (even if that, admittedly, isn't much). With that in mind, I don't think it's unreasonable that he would try to find common ground, to reach out to those he used to care about and try to understand and to reconcile.

Weirdly, I think a main obstacle here would be Punz; as long as they are together, the Plan™ is all that matters. I think another obstacle would be Dream's sheer terror of showing that kind of vulnerability around someone he no longer trusts—but that's not an uncrossable line, as Tommy demonstrates in the finale. It might just take the other person to give him that push, to let him know that he's safe here. If Dream was seeking out this kind of reconciliation himself, however, I think he would be willing to open up sooner.

The one exception is Sam. Because Dream tried to reconcile with Sam, for a long time, back when Sam was stuck in prison. And Sam refused.

i know morality and c!dream can be a sticky subject especially bc of how like, unreliable this guy is when he talks abt himself, but as much as we repeat lines in daedalus i do think that it's worth remembering that his whole ... "oh evil is in the eye of the beholder" "everyone is the hero in their own story" "they're not excuses theyre reasons" "im evil but the ends justify the means" ETC of it all is like. self protective?

like no, c!dream isn't a character that is all that occupied with morality from the beginning, obviously. but at the same time this is also a character where the crux of the damn matter when c!tommy finally gets through to him is you know, no, dumbass, you aren't Just Irredeemable Evil you're an idiot asshole that chose to do shitty things and there are, in fact, other paths you can choose. this is also a character that has a whole breakdown on his own about the "thin line between good and evil" where he wrestles with his own morality and humanity in comparison to a fucking snake. this is a character that is SO FUCKING BOTHERED by c!sam's like, everything, c!quackity's sadism, c!wilbur confronting him over lmanburg (i'm a tourist. not a terrorist.) (like ,,,)

like no matter how much c!dream tries to beat his conscience into the ground, no matter how much he says that ohhh he's just evil look at his evil lair and evil speeches and evil villain plan to give warning before he attacks and evil giving people primes (what???), no matter how much he repeats the fact that ~the end justifies the means~ and it's all worth it in the end so the middle doesn't actually matter...uh, it kind of does matter to him. c!dream might've always been ruthless and a bit of a jerk and capable of a heck of a lot of damage, but he doesn't go into this on day one thinking that abusing a teenager is A-okay. he doesn't go into the damn end of this thinking that abusing a teenager is A-okay, for fuck's sake. when pushed to the wire all he could say to c!tommy is that he tortured him, because he deserved it, like that's at all about ends justifying means and goals and whatever. like that's not the same thing that his own torturer said to him just weeks ago, in those few minutes before he was sent running.

like yeah, part of this is for show. also the other evil ass guys on this server don't exactly go around adding "evil ___" in front of everything they do, do they? you don't see c!quackity calling his casino "EVIL CASINO !!!" or c!sam calling his bank "EVIL BANK!!!" (c!sam, of course, Isn't A Bad Guy) (well, that whole Thing is also self-protective, but you know) like /?? c!dream is Weird about morality and fixated on the whole evil villain whatever of it all in a way that is just too obvious for him to not care about morality nearly as much as he claims to.
