“I’m bored,” Tommy announces for the hundredth (fourth, actually, but close enough) time that evening. He’s sitting behind Tubbo, arms around his shoulders and head resting on top of them. Ranboo sits a few feet away, curled up and seemingly half asleep.

“We know,” he murmurs. “You’ve said it already. Multiple times.”

Tommy groans. “But I am! You two are boring!”

“Why don’t we play a game?” Tubbo suggests before Tommy can go on.

Ranboo nods as Tommy’s eyes light up. “Yes! Let’s do that! Ranboo, truth or dare?”

“Wha- what?”

“That’s a sleepover game, isn’t it? Truth or dare.”

Ranboo blinks up at him for a moment. “… Dare.”

The game goes well, Tubbo has fun and he can tell that the other two do as well, if their constant laughter is anything to go by. Tommy hardly moves from his position practically on top of Tubbo, but the ram hybrid doesn’t mind it all too much.

Ranboo looks up at Tubbo. “Uh, your turn.”

“Truth,” he answers. “I don’t trust you.”

Ranboo laughs. “Are you ticklish?” he asks after a second of thinking.

Tubbo tenses up. He feels Tommy shift a little to look at him, wanting to see how he would answer.

The thing is, Tubbo doesn’t know how to answer. He knows Ranboo will find out one way or another, whether by accident or by Tommy telling him, so why delay the inevitable? However, he doesn’t want to admit to it, of course not. And anything like maybe would be too obvious that he’s just trying to avoid saying yes.

Finally, he makes a decision.

“No.”

“Liar,” Tommy says under his breath.

“I’m not!” Tubbo cries indignantly. “Ranboo, don’t listen to him, I’m not ticklish, let’s move on—”

Tommy moves his arms from Tubbo’s shoulder to his waist, scratching lightly at his stomach. “Don’t lie to your husband, that’s not very nice.”

Tubbo clamps his mouth shut, his hand flying to his mouth to muffle any giggles that manage to slip through. “N- no, I’m not—”

Ranboo moves closer, looking at the duo with a mix of interest and delight. “How did I not know about this?”

“I don’t know,” Tommy shrugs, not letting up from the gentle scratches. “If you touch him in the right spot he starts laughing, you must be pretty fuckin’ oblivious.”

“T- Tohommy!” The soft sensation is maddening, it only seems to get worse the longer it goes on. He brings his hand down to latch onto Tommy’s wrists, trying to curl up.

Ranboo reaches out curiously, poking at his sides, visibly lighting up when more giggles escape. “So where exactly are you ticklish?”

“N- nohowhehehere!” Tubbo squeaks, batting at his friends’ hands. The helpless laughter spilling out of him, however, is very contradicting.

He shrieks as Tommy’s hand suddenly forms a claw and vibrates into his stomach. “SHIHIHIT! Fuhuhuck you!” he cackles as he tries to shove Tommy away. “Nohoho— Rahahahanbohohoo!”

The tallest of the three grins, pausing the quick squeezing on Tubbo’s thighs. “This is really cute. I’m going to take advantage of this, you know,” he says as he starts up again. “Every time you’re being stubborn. I’ll just tickle you.”

Tubbo gives up on pushing at the attacking hands, instead choosing to hide his blushing face. “YOHOU BOHohoth suhuhuck!”

“It wouldn’t do anything,” Tommy says to Ranboo right before lightly pinching up and down Tubbo’s ribs and making him squirm frantically. “He likes this, can’t you tell?”

Tubbo didn’t think his face could feel any warmer. He was wrong. “I hahahate yohohou!” he whines. “I hahate you bohoth so muhuhuch!”

Tommy stops and motions for Ranboo to do the same, giving Tubbo a chance to breathe, but also a moment to plan.

Tubbo collapses back into Tommy, still giggling. Ranboo lets out a soft awww sound.

“Go for his ears,” Tubbo hears Tommy instruct, and he doesn’t have enough time to process that before the blond’s hands are back on his tummy, kneading and poking and scribbling wherever he can reach. And of course that’s not bad enough, because right after, he feels a claw tracing around and behind his ear.

His laughter goes silent for a second, and when it comes back, it’s filled with squeaks. “PLEHEHEHEASE!” he manages. “I cahahaha—” The rest dissolves into nonsense.

The two of them stop for good when he stops squirming as violently, signalling that they should probably back off. Tubbo wraps his arms around Tommy, burying his face in his chest. Ranboo joins in, hugging both of them tightly and beginning to purr quietly after a moment. Tubbo hums softly. This isn’t how he’d expected the game to go, but he has to admit that he doesn’t have any complaints.

As long as he can get both of them back, that is.

yes i agree!! the conversation with dream on the obsidian is so creepy but it gets overshadowed by all the techno vs tommy discourse!

very /lh but i’ll never forgive them for centering doomsday around c!tommy and c!technoblade’s conflict

1) it doesn’t make sense, as @/shrugofgod pointed out after transcribing the community house scene, c!technoblade felt betrayed by c!tommy but he also said that anarchy was about freedom to choose - and c!tommy had chosen, and c!technoblade respects him for it.

and now that lyssie has been so nice as to transcribe here’s that quote: “i had my plan to destroy the government, i explained my reasons, i’ve been like i’m destroying it because of a, b, c, they executed me, they betrayed me, you betrayed me— you know what, tommy? you’ve made a decision today that can’t be undone. and you know what? i respect you, tommy. you know, you’re free to make your own choices, wrong as they are. that’s what anarchy is about. It’s about freedom. to do what you want.”

and then he leaves. there’s nothing in this closing statement that should lead to more conflict between the two based on this “betrayal” - because c!tommy has already apologised earlier, several times - and this is the last of them “…technoblade, i know what i’ve done, and i hate me for it… i’m sorry.”

the conflict is over there! yes, they’re not best friends and c!technoblade feels betrayed, as he should - c!tommy switched sides and left c!technoblade alone in front of 30 people. but c!tommy had always said he’d never destroy l’manberg or hurt c!tubbo - and he sticks to this. and c!technoblade has acknowledged that he is allowed to make that decision, as that is what anarchy is about.

and c!technoblade’s definition of anarchy is the reason he’s doing this - making it about the conflict between c!tommy and c!technoblade undermines c!technoblade’s speeches about ideology and corruption because by focusing on c!tommy - it becomes not about anarchy, but revenge and punishment. narratively speaking, it only works against c!technoblade to focus on c!tommy, and not c!quackity and c!tubbo - the people in charge of his execution and c!phil’s house arrest.

there's also the matter of the quote "i'm a person!" where it's meant to show that c!tommy doesn't think of c!technoblade as a person, despite there never ever being a hint towards that in the previous streams. c!tommy was the one in the bedrock bros team up who actually asserted their friendship, while c!technoblade was the one who only acknowledged c!tommy's worth after he'd given into violence and tortured c!connor for information. c!technoblade describes seeing him as a tool but now that c!tommy is useful - he sees him as something close to a friend. even after c!tommy turns to c!tubbo, as i said above, c!tommy does his best to show his friendly and well meaning intentions to c!technoblade; and again, c!technoblade acknowledges c!tommy's right to do what he did.

making c!tommy c!technoblade's bad guy on doomsday does not make sense when the people who executed c!technoblade sans trial are right there

2.) it’d have continued from c!quackity and c!technoblade’s battle after the execution where c!technoblade took one of c!quackity's canon lives after he'd failed to take one of c!technoblade's. and - with absolutely no disrespect - cc!quackity is one of the best people on the server to improv speeches. just look at his conversation with c!dream after the bombing of mexican l’manberg: he’s so good. a lot of the reason why c!tommy’s lines during doomsday gets ignored is because they’re not the kind of iconic quotes that c!technoblade uses in his speeches; had the focus been on c!quackity instead, then there’d actually be an interesting conversation about power, about anarchy.

c!technoblade would have been challenged, instead of just shouting quote worthy one liners over the crater that in the context doesn't make sense with who he's shouting it at (c!tommy)

as i said, it also derails the entire premise of doomsday on c!technoblade’s behalf because if it’s not focused at the group that came to his house, threatened him, held him to justice for his actions but without a trial, and then executed him - but is instead focused on the person he took in, who he knew was running from c!dream, and had multiple panic attacks in front of him, and then chose his home, a decision c!technoblade respected? it’s suddenly not anywhere near about anarchy anymore - and that may be intentional, but i doubt it as no one has ever acknowledged that.

3.) the fact that c!tommy facing off with his abuser, face to face, begging him to explain why he couldn’t just have punished c!tommy - is not the primary conflict for c!tommy’s character that day, is so icky to me.

yes, a lot of the pain that day came from seeing his home being destroyed, seeing “what’s left of wilbur, the Real wilbur” getting destroyed; but the pain for c!tommy is especially rooted in the fact that home, and returning home, was something he held onto throughout exile. it was somewhere he was forbidden from ever returning to; and that was because of c!dream.

doomsday being remembered for c!technoblade and c!tommy yelling at each other across the crater that once was l’manberg over a conflict that had already been...resolved; and not the fact that c!dream admitted to seeing c!tommy as his toy, that he destroyed l’manberg because he found it fun, and that c!tommy’s first statement to c!dream had been “you did this, not just to me, but to everyone. why couldn’t you just have done it to me?” - it doesn’t sit right with me.

it was also c!tommy giving c!dream the disc that even set off doomsday because c!dream had been waiting for that before he went after l’manberg. having the disc meant that there were only two things left that c!tommy was genuinely attached to: l'manberg and c!tubbo. he was the one to rope c!technoblade in with him, he was the one to declare the attack and the time, and he was the one to make the tnt cannons. and he did all that because c!tommy showed him that l’manberg was more important than the discs at that moment - and c!dream goes after what c!tommy values the most. to keep their game going, to make sure c!tommy is focused on their game as he says on the obsidian grid.

"our story isn't over, l'manberg's story is over, but our story isn't. i don't think it'll ever be over."

so yes, this was an entire rant you didn’t ask for - and i’m sorry for that hahah - but it’s been building. i think that’s where my frustration with doomsday comes from; the central conflict was centered on the wrong people, and because of that it had the message of doomsday fall flat. and c!tommy facing his abuser was pretty much forgotten in the sea of discourse that arose after the event

okay I've been thinking abt this for a while

apologies if I'm stating the obvious btw lmao😭

so you know when you log in the game, you can see the bridge leading to the door and stuff yeah? so I think it's obvious that THATS celestia. I'm pretty sure that's where the twins try to fight the unknown god too.

we're unlocking every region slowly. mondstadt, liyue, inazuma, sumeru, fontaine, natlan, snezhnaya, khaenri'ah and finally, our sibling.

in monas voicelines about kaeya, she says something about him making a decision when the time comes- maybe that's when we go to khaenri'ah? I really feel like kaeya will die (let's hope not tho).

and dainsleif said something about fighting him to "see if we're worthy" of saving our sibling. he'll probably be a one time boss though. we're gonna have all the elements by then, but in the "we will be reunited" quest, we saw what he could do. he literally picked up that abyss harelds neck like it was nothing 💀💀💀 so he'll probably be hard to defeat.

another thing, its canon that paimon took a hit for the traveller while we first fought childe, so after we leave khaenri'ah, and go to our sibling, what if the unknown god comes back and we have to fight- or protect our sibling from her- i just know paimon will take a hit for them💔 the unknown gods attacks are fast from what we've seen, and if she attacks paimon, im pretty sure it'll be a really hard attack, making paimon die (again, let's hope not) :(

but that's it, I'll honestly probably shit my pants if we get to fight dainsleif💀

-🥣

kajsdas honestly, even tho I love love love Dainsleif, I'm so ready to throw hands with him to save our sibling HAHAA 😭 mans is really over here wondering if we're worthy to save em instead of him like we're not blood related and it's the basic plot of the game 😭 /lh

kajsndsa jk jk i do love him tho HAHAH But in a fight?? Even as OP as he may be, Dainsleif is no match for my 100+ hashbrowns and eggs 👏👏

On a real note tho!! Really interesting theorizing omg 👀👀 If anything does happen to paimon im ngl im gonna be upset >:(( And if there ever is a Dainsleif bossfight, y'all can be sure that I'm gonna use that shit for inspo for a Dain fic HAHAHSDKJNAS
