PLEASE tell me anyone else has thought of a C!Techno AU where he’s an Andabatae gladiator in the Roman arena???? PLEASE??!!! The Andabatae were criminals, sentenced to fight in the arena as a form of execution, and they FOUGHT BLINDFOLDED. Their helmets were designed without eyeholes, so they had to RELY ON THE CROWD TO TELL THEM WHERE THEIR OPPONENTS WERE. LIKE CHAT. They were only given one weapon, usually a sword, and were usually without other forms of armor and they didn’t often last long, but can you IMAGINE. the SYMBOLISM. The idea of Techno fighting blind, maybe even BEING blind and that’s why he survives for so long. He made a name for himself as the blind convict who could not die, until eventually fate or the gods or a good old fashioned sponsor (Philza mayhaps???) decide to free him and make him something else, something greater, but he never loses that weight on his head. He can never walk out of that ring of sand. The Chat follows him now, the echoing voices of the crowd, still stuck in his head even though he’s decades, centuries older than the arena. A thousand years later, he’s been a king and a general and a god amongst men. The Universe has kissed his head and called him friend, and the people have named him Justice for how his loyalty is blind, how he fights and rules equally, unbiased, unswayed by bribe or threat. And none of them know the truth. They know nothing of why he stands in his tent before each battle in silence and allows Philza to carefully, gently, fasten a thick strip of cloth around his eyes beneath his helmet. He steps onto a battlefield, deep in the heart of the Antarctic Empire, and he can taste sweat and metal in his teeth. His armor is weightless, the hot air licking at his skin, and congealed bloody sand crunches beneath bare feet. He can hear the crowd. He can hear the crowd. He can hear the-

I’ve been neglecting Tumblr, I have become obsessed with Just Roll With It: Riptide and no one here even knows

like idk maybe this is just me but i'd genuinely rather throw my loose change into something that could possibly be but is very unlikely to be a scam and just be like "oh well" if it does actually turn out to be a scam than try to denounce every single palaestinian that just wants to live in safety. tripling down on that behaviour is just fucking embarrassing. "it's not racist to be skeptical of donations asks" that's true but saying that a group of brown people are all hustlers running a mass scam ring is undoubtedly extremely racist you fucking clowns.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

"Tell Tommy that I hope he finds what he is looking for, whatever that is."

people sadly overlook the fact that c!niki had so many different cool canon designs (the most out of anyone on the server) and how much range that can give artists to work with when drawing her

like miss girl was serving looks in every arc how can y’all NOT love her??

[mahhairbegreasy]

i think the funniest interaction in dsmp actually is c!wilbur getting revived and thinking he somehow was the one that reduced l’manburg to bedrock and rubble with his couple of stacks of tnt

and c!tommy immediately checking his ego by saying they had filled in that damage and rebuilt the country in a matter of weeks after that, and this is an entirely separate attack that went much more successfully than anything wilbur ever pulled off lmao

[mahhairbegreasy]

I got nostalgic and drew Techno

Miss him

What- No it’s not 2024, it’s 2020 ? Silly, goose

TUBBO - DSMP

Okay so, I saw that there’s been a resurgence in DSMP as of recently; and I was feeling super silly, SSSOOOOO here’s Tubbo, yay

It’s a little off topic from my usual posts, but hey, change can be nice

[mahhairbegreasy]

where are they headed ?!

[mahhairbegreasy]

“dsmp phase” nuh uh it’s actually my dsmp lifetime. this story and its characters will always be part of me, it’s fused with my soul at this point. there may come a day where i don’t think about it that often anymore but part of it will always linger behind in my heart

More DSMP fans need to be obsessed with C!Niki because while her story wasn't handled perfectly, her character and story explores some really interesting themes.

The first thing she did after joining the server was declare loyalty to Wilbur and L'manburg. The second thing she did was befriend Eret when everyone told her not to trust them. She was the last one take off her L'manburg uniform, long after the founders had stopped wearing theirs.

She was the loudest voice of rebellion against Schlatt, the most violent protester against his reign. She was treated as nothing more than a minor annoyance for this rebellion.

She saw the tnt Wilbur had placed beneath L'manburg, she saw it and kept it quiet because she trusted and believed that Wilbur wouldn't use it without good reason. After he pressed that button, after he died, she went and found one of his old coats and wore it, despite the pain of betrayal.

Wilbur, Dream, Techno and Phil all tried to destroy L'manburg, but failed. They failed to stop people from fighting for L'manburg. Niki didn't. Niki, L'manburg's most loyal and devoted, killed L'mabburg when she burnt down the L'mantree. L'manburg didn't die until Niki declared it dead.

Ghostbur only showed up once for Niki, despite her being one of the few people he remembered, even after all that time.

"We've been overlooked for far too long."

She's been hurt, and her pain is silenced. When she was suffering for her defiance against Schlatt and Manberg, Pogtopia told her to wait, that they had no room for her. When Wilbur died, no one thought to comfort her for her grief, despite that he was the one she was loyal to, that she joined L'manburg for. No matter how loud she screamed and cried, no one heard her, no one cared.

It's about fire and rage and pain and healing. Her pain and suffering went ignored, and she needed at an outlet, a scapegoat. And she tried to do that, tried to hurt others the way she had been hurt, in a blind attempt to fix things in a messed up way.

Then she heals. She heals with those who she joined because of that anger and pain and wrath. She heals and finds peace and makes amends.

Niki's story isn't perfect, but it's so wonderfully complicated and full of beautiful contradictions. Loyalty and Defiance. Hope and Despair. Forgiveness and Revenge. Blind Faith and Paranoia.

I just think this fandom really sleeps on her a lot.
