Just realized that punz's monologue "Do i betray dream? " could means "Do i go against Dream's plan? " Because he doesnt want to see his friend in jail and get killed.
I really like this interpretation! I like to think based off this that dream values loyalty and trust in him a lot to where punz is thinking both about dream's safety and feelings in his decision about the plan!
Having the unfortunate realization that if Punz and Dream never split up all this time then that means Punz was forced to stand there and watch as one of his closest friends was slaughtered twice in front of him, and couldn’t do anything at risk of endangering the plan.
I mean, he is a very cool character but, tbh, when was the last time he went live with lore on the smp before this? Like, there's people that only knew him because of his scene on the bunker, I think he would get more atention if more people knew about him, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I just like c!Punz and his lore a lot and I wish he would show up more.
I love the fact that Punz stood by Dreams side until the end but made it look like he was against him to everyone else, now That's friendship goals right there.
It just makes me sad, realizing that every friend Dream had turned against him except Punz. Even Sapnap and George his “best friends”. That’s why it makes me happy seeing Dreams joy, that he can see his true friend who would never betray him (I hope lol)
@@Darkerooz that's what makes it hilarious. This isn't just a "buildup." They literally told us from the start. The thing here is that Dream most likely have used Punz's lack of a bigger audience to fool the ones who don't watch his streams. Dream actually does it so people are forced to give his friends views. This is also why he talked about Jschatt and the book offer in BadboyHalo's stream as something like a foreshadowing.

Rivals Duo is dead; long live Staged Duo! Absolutely LOVE this! This was the highlight of the prison break for me. Thank you for animating this. The scenes and expressions are amazing!
Kinda sad that Techno just didn't care for Dream I mean considering canonically they have been in that cell for 3 months together you'd think they would have had a deeper bond but instead he's treating Dream like Tommy did to Techno he's just not caring and threw him aside and I wonder if Techno will need Dream's help will he say yes or will he say no
@@thehybrid3947 He was just being careful, And Dream understood that, There ware no hard feelings between the two of them Dream even gave him back the Axe of Peace Something that Tommy should have done ages ago
@@thehybrid3947 It's all just a business. one had to pay one had to get paid, nothing more nothing less. and now dream owes techno a favor for the payback
I don't think paying punz will deter his loyalty to Dream. I feel like his character is like that character in anime who was always and will always be loyal to the villain.
the pupil is a point when he is "on Tommy's side" and a circle when he is on Dream's side. the pupil becomes wider when a person looks at something that he likes. :D
Casserole.... you are my top animator. for real. i know that sadist gets most of the hype (she deserves it too), but you are my number one forever. love you and do NOT stop animating
I love how all of the animations/animatics I've watched as of late have unanimously decided Dream now has long hair- even though he's out of prison now and has a way to cut it, it's just l o n g
i love how you added the detail of dream's hair being long since he was in prison and couldnt get a hair cut, punz is getting the attention he deserves
Make mistakes* Hurting can be a lot of toxic things, you can hurt while making mistakes, but genuine mistakes that they make an effort to - and actually fix - are more I think what you're going for
Honestly, the better option for Punz would’ve been to stick with Dream. Yes Tommy paid him more *that time* - But that was his life savings, and he never hired Punz again afterwards. With Dream, he was paid less for each time, but it was a continuous source of income.
everyone is saying "the duo is back", but the only thing i can think about is, if dream and punz are friends now, that means dream *does* have attachment now?
The interaction instantly made me think, hah c!Sapnaps been replaced somewhere else too, lost his lovers, lost c!George to DreamXD and his sleep, and these two acted more like best friends than him and c!Dream now You just do an amazing job at everything you draw/ animate,
"Why am I so torn on this. I'm a mercenary, I do what the money tells me to do..." (Also, this was soo wholesome and adventurous to watch between dream and punz. Good job as always Cass!)
This is amazing! From the dialogue choices to the music choice, from the composition of each frame to the expressions displayed on each character through posing and faces... everything just works really well. Great job on the animatic!
He's a mercenary, whenever he kills someone DreamXD gets their soul. At least I'm assuming he does, there's not really another god to receive them is there? At least not a truly immortal one.

They've been working together towards one large plan, we can assume it was the "big happy family" C!Dream so desperately wanted, but the plan was disturbed when c!Sam, the "fair and just" warden allowed c!Quackity to torture his prisoner, which wasn't expected.

Rememeber when he was loked in ther with Techno he told Techno that he will have to act scared in front of Big Q so he doesn't suspect anything I don't think he was as affected by the torture as we are lead to belive, sure he is propably pissed the hell off and wants revange, but he is more likely to use it to his advantage , like getting BBH and AntFrost on his side , than let it interfeare in his final goals, notice that he only acted twisted and insane in front of Tommy , he was basicly in the same room as Tubbo and didn't even try to do anything to him, all he wanted from Snowchester was Nightmare Armor I belive that Dream is perfectly sane and that is what makes him so dengerous, he isn't a man driven to maddness like Wilbur or desire for power like Schlatt or greed like Big Q , he is someone with a goal that he is willing to sacrifice everything for even his own life and freedom He doesn't care what people think of him by the end of it or even if he will be alive to see it as long as his goal (whatever it is) is achived
@@omega9216 /rp /Dsmp You're exactly right, he is dangerous and odd, but surely the torture would have got to him. Perhaps he told Techno to act scared because he knew Techno would try to get a rise out of Big Q, and Quackity is a volatile character who enjoys being in control, and he didn't want more violence becoming them? Techno is the type that doesn't like to show how much things get to him, for example Tommy's betrayal. Techno had the same reaction to Tommy as he did to the torture before Phil teleported him out (screaming, shortness of breath, frantic movements and speech, signs of panic and great upset) and if the invincible "Blood God" is terrified of the possible danger, we have no proof that Dream wasn't. However, we have - as minimal as it is - proof that Dream was scared and bothered: 1. He'd scream when the torture occured (from Antfrost's stream, BBH said it, and I believe that Sam and Big Q were coordinating when to perform the torture sessions to then gaslight BBH), and BBH said that when he'd go in to give Dream food properly (because we have proof that Sam was withholding food without reason), the prisoner would be shoved in the far corner shaking. The screaming is also important because Dream had no clue that anyone but Quackity (who we know to be unbothered by the screaming anyway) would even _hear_ his screaming, so the chances that it could have been a manipulation tactic are immediately scratched. 2. He willingly bent to Quackity's "rules", addressing him as 'sir', likely to limit damage done to his body 3. He weaponised the trauma he suffered to make it seem like not that big of a deal, as if to establish dominance over Sapnap and Tommy and Tubbo, but never mentioned it to Punz (his ally) because Punz would force him to acknowledge how messed up it was 4. He seemed upset when Techno told him to leave after the prison break, perhaps because Techno protected him, and having that loss of support that aided him in a bad time was damaging to him - this was nearly directly before Tommy, with Punz's visit in between, so we could think that the clashing emotions of sadness, disappointment, betrayal with happiness, relief, euphoria may have sent him on an adrenaline high that momentarily destroyed his emotional perception. Plus, if you consider it, Tommy was _technically_ the one who placed him in the prison, even if it was planned. As a trauma response, he likely blames Tommy for the torture, and therefore acts insane (either sonsciously or subconsciously) to intimidate the "threat". 5. He nearly told Tommy of the plan by saying "they had to lock me up in a prison built just for me!" We can infer that, based on the secretive way Punz kept the plan hidden from the rest of the server and how Dream has from everyone else, he hadn't meant to tell Tommy and let it slip in his insane rambling. 6. Dream’s “it was only- it wasn’t supposed to be… like that.” Hints that the torture wasn't supposed to happen, so he couldn't mentally prepare (I say that end part because he has strong mental will, but this torture definitely did _something_ negative to him, and not just physically). Therefore, I don't think that Dream is perfectly sane, and I will admit I'm a little tired of seeing the primariy "C!Dream bad, all manipulation, no good, not morally grey like it has been written to look like" and the fact we have no lore of his perspective anymore so we can't know what he's thinking apart from educated inferences using hints and clues from other povs and lore streams and third party statements about what he did, why he did, conditions he lived through, etc. So, I do believe that the torture got to him, but your arguments are interesting and I enjoy to debate, and this is all meant as /nm, this isn't supposed to come across as hostile and I apologise if it did :)
@@evwadiva2146 He propably screamed and acted submissive to give Quackity an illusion of control to make it seam like he was gaetting what he wanted , he couldn't risk geting killed before his goal was achived after all
@@omega9216 But that doesn't align with what you said then, that he'd be willing to die for it to be achieved Anyway, not here to start an argument, I just sympathise c!Dream (different from an apologist, I don't think what he did was good, I just want to learn more about him because I think he's interesting)
Tw//abuse It's so interesting that Dream's character is getting some humanity, before going to torment a child. It's good to address that an abuser can still have friends and have feelings while being a horrible person. This makes Dream so much more believable and it's honestly pretty disturbing.
After the reveal that going to prison was in fact part of the plan, Dream's conversation with Sam after Techno escaped disturbs me more. The entire time Sam talks about how Dream created these conditions for Tommy but it was for himself all along. that conversation gives me a lot to think about after the recent lore.
@@iamagirl9938 I think he gave himself those conditions to make himself look like he was getting punished. I think the prison stay was an attempt to generate sympathy from Tommy, artificially redeeming himself in order to worm his way back into Tommy's heart as a "friend" and all the loyalty that position creates.
@@darkdragoness5 I don't think he planned to get himself in the prison only for this. He must be looking to a much more big "picture" behing his plans, besides having his goal of uniting the server.
Omg, wait, punz lore actually kinda cool, a new fav character on the dsmp. Also animatic, verry cool, it makes me feel the "woooow so cooooool" feeling.
Dude, I knew something felt wrong as soon as Punz came through that portal in the last finale and deep down I still had that feeling since (I don't mean that in a negative way, it was just a thought)
One whole month later, and I still freaking love this animatic so much! I feel so much euphoria when I watch this! Especially at the crescendo of the music at 0:31; it's the absolute best. Happy one year since the Staged Disc Finale, when our favorite "traitor" came to the rescue! :)
YES! Punz's character is getting the attention they rightfully deserve! Love this animatic btw! Edit: I also love your Punz design btw! It looks great!
Господи, наконец-то немножечко внимания к этой булочке! Надеюсь это правда не уронит статистику, ибо Панза к сожалению, мало кто ценит. Это несправедливо, он есть в большинстве ивентов и является важной опорой для сюжета(

This is amazing u hqve done a good job Also how dream was looking at punz wenn he needed to go to prison and punz lookt away scared its amazing i love it
Whaa, I love how you put so much in such short animation - not only story, but characters' gestures, feelings, accurate lines they said. And frames composition, it's just... It's honestly great, you're amazing me even more with every new animatic. Great job 💚

@@evwadiva2146 He propably screamed and acted submissive to give Quackity an illusion of control to make it seam like he was gaetting what he wanted , he couldn't risk geting killed before his goal was achived after all
@@omega9216 But that doesn't align with what you said then, that he'd be willing to die for it to be achieved
Anyway, not here to start an argument, I just sympathise c!Dream (different from an apologist, I don't think what he did was good, I just want to learn more about him because I think he's interesting)
Tw//abuse
It's so interesting that Dream's character is getting some humanity, before going to torment a child. It's good to address that an abuser can still have friends and have feelings while being a horrible person. This makes Dream so much more believable and it's honestly pretty disturbing.
i ruined ur 69
After the reveal that going to prison was in fact part of the plan, Dream's conversation with Sam after Techno escaped disturbs me more.
The entire time Sam talks about how Dream created these conditions for Tommy but it was for himself all along. that conversation gives me a lot to think about after the recent lore.
@@iamagirl9938 I think he gave himself those conditions to make himself look like he was getting punished. I think the prison stay was an attempt to generate sympathy from Tommy, artificially redeeming himself in order to worm his way back into Tommy's heart as a "friend" and all the loyalty that position creates.
I mean to be fair c!Tommy was a terrorist as well even as a twelve-year-old he still should have known better.
@@darkdragoness5 I don't think he planned to get himself in the prison only for this.
He must be looking to a much more big "picture" behing his plans, besides having his goal of uniting the server.
I'm so in love with how well you create facial expressions
YES THEYRE DYNAMIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE WAY YOU CAPTURE IT!
Beautiful animatic, as always. Thank you!
Omg, wait, punz lore actually kinda cool, a new fav character on the dsmp. Also animatic, verry cool, it makes me feel the "woooow so cooooool" feeling.
Dude, I knew something felt wrong as soon as Punz came through that portal in the last finale and deep down I still had that feeling since
(I don't mean that in a negative way, it was just a thought)
i love the detail of his face being more scarred when getting out of prison.
That moment puts a BIG smile on my face , keep up the good animation !!
I was never really too involved with punz in the SMP. Now I'm intrigued.
Ummm
Ah
Punz!
What
Huh!?
Your influence on Purple
😂😂😂
Best friends
One whole month later, and I still freaking love this animatic so much! I feel so much euphoria when I watch this! Especially at the crescendo of the music at 0:31; it's the absolute best.
Happy one year since the Staged Disc Finale, when our favorite "traitor" came to the rescue! :)
YES! Punz's character is getting the attention they rightfully deserve! Love this animatic btw!
Edit: I also love your Punz design btw! It looks great!
Punz is like one Dream's few loyal friends👏👏👏❤
I love Punz's emotion on his eyes. Great job!!
dios mio las animasiones son hermosas
yo se, verdad
ESTÁN MUY BELLAS- CONCUERDO CONTIGO :D
Господи, наконец-то немножечко внимания к этой булочке! Надеюсь это правда не уронит статистику, ибо Панза к сожалению, мало кто ценит. Это несправедливо, он есть в большинстве ивентов и является важной опорой для сюжета(
SOBBING CRYING INCREDIBLE WORK OH MY GOD!!! this is fucking breathtaking. the music choices, the expressions, just everything about it is so tender as a c!punz enjoyer.
I LOVE PUNZ' CHARACTER DESIGN PLS OML OML OML
They’re best friends your honor
"did he offer you money to spy on me...?
"yes"
"did you take it?"
"...no?"
"pity, we could've split the fee. think it through next time"
Woah this is really impressive, love your designs!

MATE I’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE YOUR STUFF IS WICKED
Whaa, I love how you put so much in such short animation - not only story, but characters' gestures, feelings, accurate lines they said. And frames composition, it's just... It's honestly great, you're amazing me even more with every new animatic. Great job 💚
The amount of detail that went in to this was incredible! I love the attention to detail in the facial emotions. This GREAT!
I am in love the designs!

Punz’s character is very underrated so this is nice to see :D
This is surprisingly wholesome.

We all are waiting for Punz to get in trouble and Dream to defend him, they are friends, u can't change my mind... LIKE PLEASEEE WE NEED THAT I SWEAR-
I adore this art style.
Their happiness at the end makes me so happy even though I don’t like their moral stability 😭
I've been going through some tough times right now and even right now I'm about to cry. But just seeing this video gives me a little bit of comfort
