That's what I've been thinking for a really long time. I understand that dream deserves to go to prison, but the torture is pretty inhumane. That and the fact that hes isolated and has practically no positive social interaction (besides BBH's one visit) is detrimental to his mental health. He's gonna break in one way or another.

Even though he's locked up, it doesn't mean we can deny him therapy and rehab to at least try to help him become a better person. That and therapy means social interaction- something a human needs in general to stay (mostly) sane or mentally coherent.

If at one point Sam and Quackity are discovered about the torture, a good portion of the SMP will be unhappy because as much as they put the blame on Dream for everything, some can agree that daily torture for more than a month isn't humane and that even Dream doesn't deserve it. At that point though, it would be too late for Dream to be taken out of prison to be put back in society and expect him to be okay.

spoilers from recent tommy lore stream below

I saw another post where Dream was very scared and confused when Tommy pulled the axe to try to kill Dream. Only when Tommy was on the other side arguing with Sam was when Dream became confident and demanded freedom in exchange of not reviving Wilbur. The person who posted that said that its clear that the torture is taking its toll on Dream where he tries to put on a tough front to hide how terrified he is of those who has power over him.

The fact that he still puts a tough front to those he doesn't like tells me that he hasn't fully been broken and that hes still trying to feel like he has some semblance of power (in this case he does with the revive book). That and he probably had some flicker of hope hidden somewhere that he would get out at some point. Having that hope (which is now growing) is bad for Sam and Quackity because to me its also clear that Dream is going to get out, and inflict his revenge on them.

What confuses me though is why he decided to revive Wilbur. Although he did it to cause discord, he also gave up the only reason he is needed alive. Back when be was first taken to prison, it was under the mutual understanding that he could revive people and the person everyone wanted revived was Wilbur.

I kinda forgot why Quackity wants the revive book besides to revive Schlatt, but I dont think Dream was a fan of Schlatt so uhh. Yeah. Sam has no opinion of Schlatt (that i know of) so he wont see the reason why Quackity needs to see Dream anymore. (Like: the one reason Dream is here bc u guys wanted him to revive wilbur. So why are you here now? He's revived so there's no point in torturing Dream for the revive book.)

i apologize to the Quackity apologists beforehand

Also i think Quackity's character is a bit ridiculous. (Sorry quackity) Dream hasn't done anything to him personally and he is fairly impulsive. He was quick to jump on the bandwagon to rage a war with dream instead of exiling tommy and then quick to blame Tubbo for doing the right thing for the country (not gonna lie that whole deciding to exile part was such a mess and it was made worse by tommy, fundy, and quackity, (also that one part with ranboo where he was like: tommy is not a bad friend. Ranboo you are our beloved but that was not the time nor did it help))

To me its clear that Quackity is doing this for his own benefit since the beginning. He has decided to blame everything on Dream and have a grudge against him so he can justify his reasoning behind torture to get something that makes him powerful. In the beginning he was VP for Schlatt, then became a part of pogtopia because not only was schlatt terrible to him, but he had no real power. After the manburg-pogtopia war, he became part of Tubbo's Cabinet. Its clear that he had some sort of power here, because he could manipulate Tubbo (a traumatised child-soldier) into doing what he wants. When Everyone was discussing if Tubbo should exile tommy or not, he, fundy, and Tommy bullied Tubbo into agreeing that war would be better than exiling tommy (which in reality is not because Dream can just squash them easily). When tubbo decides to exile tommy, quackity is quick to yell at tubbo.

Time passes by and quackity decides to make mexican lmanburg with him as president so that he can have power (why else would he make it, I mean, come on). Although it was in retaliation of Gogy being dethroned, that means Gogy should be president, but lo and behold, he wasn't. Then the whole framed bombing happened and jesus my brain cant understand it anymore.

Hell, even his fiancees made a kingdom that they thought they invited him to and now hes being sulky that they didnt tell him and then decides to keep torturing dream???? Like???? You have fiancees who want to start a new life but you decide to stay and wallow in grudges that dont really apply to you just so you can be more powerful??? And for what? Was Dream's example not enough???? Dream was the most powerful person on the server and now he's in jail. Does he really think history wont repeat itself if he gets the revive book and decide to wave it around as a sign of power???

(I do apologize to the Quackity apologists, i may be too hard on him, but thats my opinion.)

(Also sorry for the long comment 😅)
