Hullo hullo, thought I'd pop in just to ask some random questions about utb if you don't minddd

Personally, do you ever believe you'll write a scene where efnisien d o e s use his safe word? At least in utb?

Second question, do you think utb Gary is good with kids?

Aside from that, Thanks for being a writer and sharing your works with us, I'm sorry your hiatus didn't really end well and I hope you get som well earned rest soon

Hiya anon!

At this stage I have no plans of Efnisien ever using his safeword. Firstly because Gary has already been pretty clear that if someone he's with keeps using a safeword during the most intense parts of sex, he'll leave them (it means they're not sexually compatible which, valid), but secondly, I think Efnisien likes elements of consensual non-consent even though he doesn't know what that is, it works in well for him as an alpha who wants to be made to enjoy things, while still having the option to fight and protest in a way that makes it seem like to outsiders he should be safewording.

The reality is this story mainly has a safeword for the comfort of the reader, and I never had any intention of Efnisien using it in the story! I do write some stories where safewording is very much part of the narrative, but it was never intended to be in Underline the Black.

Second question, do you think utb Gary is good with kids?

I...doubt it? I doubt he's had much experience to know, honestly. He's probably not bad with them, I think he just mostly doesn't want much to do with them. Kids are not a peak alpha thing :D

Aqua’s Live Reactions: “Quackity Visits Dream and Technoblade in Prison”

So... as it turns out, time zones, sleep, school and more school do not mix well with DSMP lore, since I’m currently typing the start of this post during my lunch break about 11 hours after the lore drop - the lore drop happened less than an hour before I was gonna sleep (which is already a fucked up sleep schedule on my part), so obviously I couldn’t watch the damn lore stream... and like 4 people did a loredrop today, so I’m prioritizing c!Quackity POV above c!Techno POV (might watch c!Techno POV later) and reacting to his side of the story first. Oh, and this is posted more than 11 hours after the lore drop because I have supplementary classes after school, mandatory school-sanctioned stuff, and I’m not risking a truancy record for the lore streams, especially NOT during my final year at secondary school.

Here’s a disclaimer: I’m watching the VOD and know next to nothing that has happened because I refused to check my notifications for over 12 hours just so I can get a genuine reaction out of this. I might have caught a glimpse of a spoiler while I was barely awake, but outside of trigger warnings that I asked for and that the TV Tropes (iconic/signature) quotes page has updated, that’s about it. 

This whole post is within the context of the SMP, so /rp and /dsmp applies to everything under the cut.

0:00 - Since I’m watching the VOD, I get to see the comments in full glory. cc!Quackity has commented “oh no”. Oh no indeed. I am not sure what to expect. Something has happened, and it is bad, I can feel the vibes. Also, the comments have spoilers. Rough times.

0:14 - The netherite axe has so low durability......

0:20 - Holy shit, the shears are named “Wardens Torment”. They actually named the shears to be a torture implement

0:33 - Q why do you have like 5 bottles of enchanting, I don’t know what that’s for but I think it’s plot relevant in some way

0:58 - “ringing that stupid bell” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE BELL FROM THE LAST VISIT!!!!! TECHNO YOU CHEEKY BASTARD /pos

1:35 - “This is the most secure place on the entire server” and what if the nuke is hidden there? The missing Snowchester nuke? It’s just a theory, but I’m in the mood for a conspiracy at the moment

1:54 - “the point is the revival book” no it isn’t, you said it yourself in the last big lore stream

2:19 - “there’s two of them and one of me” yeah, q, i know. i know you. your weaknesses. and how you suppressed one of your own strengths to be able to do this shit. i know all about you.

2:25 - “they could do anything” ...paranoid tendencies much? I mean you’re right to be wary but still...

2:33 - really? an ad at this time? ffs the number of ads on youtube has only gone up since covid started........ i hate it here /neg

2:50 - “sleep. just in case something bad happens” oh i know..... this sounds like foreshadowing

2:55 - THE BELL SAD;FJASL;KJS;DALKFJAS;ZDJFAS;ZLDFKJAS; LMAOOOO WE CAN HEAR IT FROM BEYOND THE LAVA CURTAIN THIS IS AMAZING

3:14 - “it’s a long story” oh does sam know about dreamxd now?

3:35 - “I hope this is the last time I have to be here” oh q........ there’s some meaning behind this quote. i know it. but for the life of me, i can’t figure it out yet... does this mean you want to kill the two fuckers in there or something? you know techno has like all 3 of his lives intact, right? he’s gonna... well, I think you know what happened the last time you tried to knock him down a peg

3:46 - “it’s for the good of the country as well” ah yes so las nevadas is aligned with the prison officially? police state /j i mean it’s always been unofficially there but still...

4:30 - ah, so he admits it

4:32 - HOW DID THEY GET A DOG?? I understand q’s reaction fully. “What” indeed.

4:40 - sam’s right, the lava is acting weird. did dream and techno sabotage it or something? I remember how techno’s last couple of streams ended, or at least I’ve heard enough about it........... i think it’s sabotage

5:08 - “<Technoblade> cringe” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT’S SO TYPICAL OF HIM. HE’S BACK. MY LITTLE OINK OINK. /HJ

5:31 - oh so now DREAM is onto something? what do you MEAN you don’t have time and to hurry up?? do they have a plan in there or something? i know this episode is a jailbreak waiting to happen but there’s something bigger at play here, I feel

5:52 - LMAOOOOOO WAIT. WAIT. DREAM STILL HAS HIS LAVENDER RIBBON FROM THE LAST MCC ON. HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE IN A CANONICAL WAY. HOW. EXPLAIN.

5:53 - also sam WHAT DO YOU MEAN TO “KILL THE DOG”??? THAT’S A WHOLE PUPPER IN THERE. I mean I don’t sympathize much with c!Dream or c!Techno that much but I want to know how tf the dog got in there first at least

5:56 - q says “i’m not gonna kill a puppy-” sam says to kill the dog. well at least someone here has a semblance of morals here /j

6:28 - oh so it begins... he’s here... this is gonna be fun /s

6:44 - TECHNO DOESN’T KNOW WHY THE DOG IS THERE EITHER LMAO THIS IS RICH THIS IS EPIC

6:59 - love how they’re all just attached to the dog now. great job everyone (sincerely)... except dream. we know he refuses to name the dog because he thinks attachments are gross. we all know that.

7:07 - “let’s call it rat” RAT IS CANON LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

7:14 - “i would never respect someone who named their dog ‘rat’.” ok so is this make fun of bbh week now?? irl “rat” is just a nickname but everyone calls her that so-

7:23 - did techno seriously just try to knock him into the lava??

7:46 - ok so sam is pointing a bow at the jail squad- yeah... why. he has a good question. why, sir warden, why?

9:32 - ah. leverage. i see what you did. as if we all didn’t know from the start.

9:55 - LMAO. hostage situation that’s a win-win, and techno... we all know both of you can strangle this man with your bare hands. also the last time you tried to kill techno, we all saw what happened. /hj

10:00 - “that’s kinda harsh” no shit sherlock also HOW NONCHALANT DO YOU HAVE TO BE FOR THIS

10:08 - “Don’t do it.” Techno, you’re just feeding the toxic Rivals Duo fans at this point. Also, are you just trying to preserve your reputation of “never dying” or do you genuinely care? Because I doubt you do tbh...

10:38 - ads. gross.

10:46 - “doesn’t that kinda work out?” yeah, techno, point out the holes in q’s plans. I might disagree with your moral standpoint and compass but I’m allowed to find you funny and cool... yeah I love him too, my snarky boi

11:14 - looks like someone finally had the common sense to roast the potatoes over the lava.

11:23 - I’m just imagining the scenario in-universe because if we’re going by characters’ canon heights (plus some speculation for c!techno based on his cc’s height irl), c!quackity is the shortest one of the three so him threatening the other two is ngl a weirdly funny sight to see

11:42 - and that’s the point, dream. quackity gets the revive-book, and the whole server can be rid of you. that’s the point, good sir. we don’t want you here. 

12:23 - q you’re sounding borderline hysterical here. you’re sounding almost desperate. i don’t know if this is intentional or not but you’re sounding... vulnerable.

14:08 - we all saw through that, both in and out of universe. you’re making it very obvious that you don’t want dream to give him the book, techno.

14:40 - y’all sounding half hysterical at this point

15:36 - ah yes trauma dumping time /hj /rp

15:52 - oh so he wants poetic justice, huh? should have gone the whole hog and brought a netherite pick instead of a diamond one.

15:59 - he’s gone. he’s fuckin’ gone. just before he could actually do the pickaxe thing. holy shit. lmao... in all seriousness though, I heard Techno was gonna get out earlier... I’m guessing through the enderpearl stasis chambers or whatever? this is gonna be fun..................

16:34 - i love how c!dream is still eating raw fukin’ potatoes. we all saw techno with cooked ones, right? why’s he still eating it raw? tell me

16:58 - “bring back the fridge” sir it’s in a dumpster, your honour

18:58 - ANOTHER AD??

19:53 - “if he could have escaped all this time then why didn’t he escape earlier” the will.............. philza opened it up,..... we called it, it was time

20:10 - bruh. can’t see the green boy. is he gone? i doubt it.

20:20 - the toilet. check the toilet. shawshank redemption or whatever it’s called, I’ve only heard of hamshank redemption from angry birds toons but check the fuckin’ loo, the toilet

21:10 - q is still hysterical, sam is still in denial, techno is probably back in the arctic, and my bet is that dream currently smells like shit in the most literal way

22:04 - oh no. loud noises. is this the alarm trigger warning I’ve heard of?

23:35 - what the fuck are those ender pearls doing there

23:50 - what’s to bet those are barrier blocks or something?

26:02 - underground base???!! also internal monologue time???!!!!

26:24 - ah. dramatic music.

26:55 - time is ticking..............

27:02 - battle log................

27:07 - “las nevadas has become a prime target”... for what? whose pov is this again?

27:11 - “dream has escaped prison” first of all, I doubt it, and second of all, ah ok, c!q pov still

27:28 - paranoia?? descent into paranoia?

27:43 - it’s raining outside las nevadas...........

27:47 - yo. yo this is huge. the lore drought has finally ended with the rain. also this was epic.
