Ugh it took ages to find a spare moment to read but I'm here to yammer as per usual!! I spent like 30 mins debating whether this should be a comment or an ask I've thought way too hard about it for way too long.
I'm shaking you by the shoulders the entire chap is sooo good man. I love how Technos powers keep tuning into the deaths happening around him.
I will say that Techno is a fuckin compartmentalizing champion, this boy is packing away so much trauma that Phil will Totally not weaponize against heroes.
By absolute fav section is, of course, the emduo crumbs. I absolutely love the bit where Phil realises that Techno doesn't have to just be a little sidekick… he can be a sonboy too.
Even if you look at it from the more callous point of view where he's using Techs abandonment issues as a way to get closer to him Phil's literally just signing himself up to get way too attached and adopt him either way.
Also I know we don't see really anything except glimpses of Wilbur but I like to think that Phils like literally never mentioned Tech to him before. That way when he inevitably drags Tech to meet him like "meet your new brother! :D" Wil is just completely blindsided. Its unlikely but its silly so I'm choosing to believe it.
Oh and that meeting is gonna end so badly. Just horribly. Currently putting my bets on Techno maybe getting really overwhelmed and lashing out with his powers so Phil can weaponize that further against him.
How I think it'd go down is way more messy and convoluted than what would really fit in this or whatever since its already long enough but that's how I think the adoption is gonna play out.
Anyway I've rambled long enough!! Absolutely banger chapter as usual, well worth the wait!!
Comment or ask, I am ALWAYS happy to hear your thoughts asdfghjlk and I have been munching on this ask for weeks. Just chewing on it like a cow to get every ounce of flavor out of it.
The boy has blood on his hands and that just makes him more sonboi shaped for a very greedy crow.
Techno is fiiiiiinee. Completely fiiinnnneee. There is no trauma on ba sing se. He can just think around it. He is a-okay for surre. There is nothing to manipulate. Nope. Philza is juuuuuust going to be a comfort. Nothing more lololololololol.
Phil has mentioned Technoblade to Wilbur in this. But he has described it the same way as he would describe any of his projects. This is just a fleeting whim of The Crow and Wilbur has heard his dad monologue about enough projects to just tune him out when he is talking. He's going to be very surprised when Phil rolls up with a child. Phil is going to be like "I told you about this" while Will is like "You should've known I wasn't listening!!!!"
And whaaaat nooooo the parent teacher conference is going to go so well! Why would you think there would be anything tragic there??? Its going to be fiiiiiineeee.
Thank you for all of your rambling. It made me smile so much! 🥺🥹 I'm really happy you enjoyed it!

Day 19 Whumptober: Abandoned cabin
Prompt list belongs to @whumptober
— Techno was the only survivor of his family... his parents were tried and sentenced to death (his mother burned at the stake and his father hanged) for practicing witchcraft....
They tried to protect their son, they didn't want Techno to suffer the same fate... after all, Techno is not only a hybrid, but also a witch.
So he flees the city where he has lived all his life before someone catches him, winter hits harder than ever... and he has nothing to survive these temperatures.
Walking through the snow, he stumbles upon a huge palace that seems uninhabited, but as time passes and the storm worsens, he begins to hear the voice of a man speaking to him from inside the palace.—
“With sacrifice, intended for a kid,
He on the altar laid a calf unblessed,
The hallowed lamb, and the unblemished first
Of all the flock.” — Paradise Lost (John Milton)
I've been working on an Au inspired by @dorylinae-supremacy fic (Ask for Nothing).
I'm still working on this Au but if you want to know more about CrowNest Techno you can always send me questions!

La più antica formica soldato mai scoperta rivela che un tempo l'iconico predatore faceva incursioni in Europa
La più antica formica soldato mai scoperta rivela che un tempo l’iconico predatore faceva incursioni in Europa
Ricercatori del New Jersey Institute of Technology e della Colorado State University hanno reso nota la scoperta della più antica formica soldato di cui si abbia notizia, conservata nell’ambra baltica risalente all’Eocene (35 milioni di anni fa). Il loro stile di vita nomade e le loro razzie fameliche hanno portato le formiche armate (Dorylinae) nella maggior parte dei continenti della Terra, ma…

Newly discovered beetle catches a ride on the backs of army ants to get around
Dr. Christoph von Beeren of Germany’s Technical University Darmstadt was collecting “ant guests” during the nightly emigration of an army ant colony at La Selva Biological Station, a lowland Atlantic rainforest in Costa Rica, when he and his colleagues realized that the abdomens of some of the ants looked odd.
The researchers used their headlamps to get a better look. “From above it is difficult to detect the parasite, because the beetle closely resembles the ant’s abdomen,” von Beeren said in a statement. “When viewed from the side, however, it looks as if the ants had a second abdomen. To our surprise the odd looking ‘ant abdomens’ turned out to be beetles.”
Von Beeren and his colleagues described the newly discovered beetle species that they had spotted catching a ride on the backs of army ants in an article published in the journal BMC Zoology yesterday.
“To the human eye, the beetle is quite difficult to detect when attached to the ant as they are similar in size and shape to the host ants’ abdomen,” von Beeren added. “The outer shell of the beetle is also smooth and shiny, just like the ants. We think that by imitating this part of the ants’ body they might reduce the chance of recognition by the ants, allowing the beetle to travel undetected.”
In the BMC Zoology article, von Beeren and his co-author, Alexey Tishechkin of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Systematic Entomology Laboratory, write that what they’d observed was an “exceptional mechanism of phoresy,” which is when two organisms form a symbiotic relationship in which one (in this case, the beetle) travels on the body of another.
Many other organisms, including additional species of beetles as well as flies, mites, silverfish, and wasps, are also known to exploit army ant colonies. These army ant-dependent species “often show astonishing adaptations such as chemical and morphological mimicry of ant workers, protective morphologies, as well as life history adaptations to the hosts’ life cycles,” the researchers write in the study.
The new beetle, named Nymphister kronaueri after Daniel Kronauer, an army-ant researcher at The Rockefeller University in New York who first discovered the species, uses its strong mandibles to anchor itself to ants’ bodies during the nomadic army ants’ regular emigrations to new nesting sites. N. kronaueri was only found hitching a ride on one particular army ant species, Eciton mexicanum, primarily on medium-sized workers, which von Beeren and Tisheckin say demonstrates that it is a highly specialized ant guest.
Neotropical army ant colonies cycle between stationary and nomadic phases, which last about three and two weeks, respectively, for ants in the Eciton genus, von Beeren and Tishechkin note in the study. A colony will stay at the same site during the stationary phase and emigrate to a new nest site every night during its nomadic phase.
Organisms that depend on ants for their own survival during at least part of their lifecycle are called “myrmecophiles” — which literally translates to “ant lovers.” “Since army ants are nomadic, myrmecophiles exploiting their societies share the need to track their host colonies during the frequent colony emigrations to new bivouac sites,” the researchers write. “They achieve this by riding on or being carried by the ants, or by walking independently on the ants’ emigration trail.”

I would second the rec for CleanLenins, and I also very much enjoy the other CleanLenins fics, though several of them are more parental than Death Shall Come. Delightful complicated dark relationships, fantastic snarky voice, rich worlds (and some VIVID descriptions of gore).
Anything by Odaigahara, with lots of Emduo, some excellent Bedrock Bros, and more from all over the DSMP, incredible prose and worldbuilding and characterization— I beta for droid and every time I get to read a fic it's like ehehehe present for me
techno_rat just started writing recently, but they write extremely pog emduo, fantastic characterization and voice
googolplexbrown writes absolutely amazing hilarious and incisive tntduo— I haven't finished the longer fics, but I have been having an amazing time with their halloween fic, where quackity is a mad scientist who brings Wilbur back to life, and they also have some great emduo
fensandmarshes writes fantastic tntduo, emduo/techza, and eternal duo which makes me go "I could really get into eternal duo I think". amazing prose and grip on character.
Dorylinae writes sbi and emduo, always coming at it with fascinating dark premises and unravelling of plot that makes you go AHHHHHHH IT"S ALL GONNA END BADLY AHHHHHHHHHH and then. well. Creator chose not to use archive warnings. You'll find out.
Y’all would someone be so gracious as to give me fanfic recs (anything’s good but pref benchtrio, beeduo, tntduo, pray duo, sbi, emduo/techza)

Sprinting in here just to tell you that I’m going insane about your latest fic. Literally already such a banger. I am rattling the bars of my enclosure over this bro I love meanza!
The end of the chapter though?? Ohhh I’m in love with it. I love the way you’ve written Phil for this he’s so fun I can’t wait for him to get even worse! Technos gonna have such a bad time when he figures stuff out. Love that for him.
Also this could be history in the making, we could potentially all be seeing the first successful 3 chapter Lenn fic in the works. It’s like watching the moon landing. A once in a generation opportunity. /j
Philza is very VERY meanza in this and I am surper excited for that. He his a grade A very bad person and it is so fun to write. I adore the evil evil crow so much.
And the last part of the chapter was so much fun to write. Mr. Craft is so dignified and well spoken. The Crow is a greedy greedy bird that literally doesn't even see people as PEOPLE, only as things like "Inconvenient" or "little powerhouse". It's so so much fun to write.
And this WILL be history in the making. I swear! Only 3 chapters! Yes yes yes yes yes (this is a threat to fate)

@comfy-vember Day two: Favorite Song
Song: The Ballad Of The Witches’ Road
If cn!Techno had access to the internet, this song would be one of his favorites!
I think The Ballad Of The Witches' Road and Come Little Children would be some of his favorite songs.
(Original idea: @dorylinae-supremacy)

I do love tag games.
Last line I wrote on TBTF
"...sure?" Technoblase said uncertainly. He had no issues with garlic, but if the Emperor didn't like them...that was useful to know. Totally not a choice made from sheer pettiness. Nope.
"Yes! Garlic potatoes! Chop-chop, Wil-bitch! Go get the man his potatoes!"
As for tagging: @virgil-reblogs @dorylinae-supremacy @anarchy-and-piglins no pressure, you guys. Feel free to ignore this 💚
Last Line Tag Game
thx for tagging me @oldfashionedmorphine !
it says the last line from ur WIP but I wanted to do the whole last chunk lol
Eventually home also became the party, but it was still Mike that had led him there. Mike was the heart, and so Mike was Home.
Now, after years of his childhood being stolen away by hell itself, Will finally, finally had a place and a person. He had the person.
Home has never been colder.
a fic I’ve been working on for max cosmobrain :3
no pressure tags: @cosmobrain00 @parkitaco @bookinit02 @foodiewithdahoodie @suzieburself and anyone else who would like to join 🩷

Their nomadic lifestyle and ravenous raiding have taken army ants (Dorylinae) to most continents on Earth, but a rare fossil discovery is now offering first evidence that the infamous predators once swarmed a land they are strikingly absent from today — Europe.
