alas, the story never changed, for the better end

i don't think i have anything to say other than you might want to read this fic, for more clarification about this one. also i might move this to ao3 i'm not sure yet.

sometimes, seapeekay dreams of fire.

fire that burns behind his eyelids, scorches through the forest clearing he’s made in his mind, burns the jungle trees — jungle? he thought it was— down to ashes, clearing it all so a looming silhouette is left, stamped in permanent ink in his mind, clawing up at the sky and spewing grey ash around it, magma hot and glowing orangey-red.

sometimes, seapeekay dreams of fire, of a volcano, of ruling a kingdom and fighting and blaming a friend for burning his house down, and joining a cult, and fire and fireworks and pain that burns him to the ground and a sky turned gold as he bleeds— burns out.

most days, he wakes up in a cold sweat that stands out against his dreams of burning. usually, he spends the nights in fox form. that’s safer, because there, if anyone visits — they almost never do, but he wants to be safe. how can he explain he’s been dreaming of things that have never happened to them? — he can blame it on fox instincts rather than dreams.

rather than waking up only because of the sound of an explosion, of a mountain tearing itself apart, with the fire of adrenaline racing in his veins.

that’s unimportant here, seapeekay tells himself, tracing the lines on his palm. here he is a new person. right? nobody remembers things that have happened prior, in different stories, different lives.

and yet— jimmy and scott are closer than he remembers. he’s not even sure if they were friends in x-life, his previous life. and yet— seapeekay is still curled in his deep red cloak of his volcano kingdom, because being without it feels wrong, somehow, like he can’t shed his debts away in a new world.

he visited joel the day he was crowned king of mezalea, a lifetime away, a story away. he asked him what he was looking for, and joel said he found it, and seapeekay hopes so, he really does.

he hears empires smp is gone, destroyed, a few months later, in a small town in the middle of the plains in the middle of nowhere, on a noname world, and he drops his coinpurse, spilling the silver and gold coins into the asphalt. he still remembers the sound of them against the floor, a sharp noise that doesn’t pull him out of it until someone forcefully shoves him.

seapeekay receives an envelope in the mail a few months later, scott smajor’s handwriting as neat and as precise as ever, asking him to join afterlife smp.

after life —

(lizzie grinning, he’s not sure he can even call it a grin, more like a baring of teeth in a crude imitation of a smile, teeth fleckled with blood, as she aims a crossbow at him.

“sorry about this,” she doesn’t say, as the firework rocket digs into his chest, and he’s thrown onto the floor, stars wheeling over his head, and he can’t see the sky so maybe that’s a bad thing, but he sees gold.

the sky’s golden, a sharp contrast from the darkness that’s swooping over his vision, and he gasps desperately, realizing that he’s dying.

lizzie looms over him, her ocean-blue eyes staring into his fading, golden-brown ones and she clucks. “impressive,” she does say, and then there’s another rocket in his chest, pain exploding and reverbrating in his bones, and there’s gold.

the sky’s golden, and he thinks, barely, shouldn’t it be blue?

the sky’s golden—

and then he doesn’t think of anything else.)

(kingdomcraft dies slowly. rulers have retreated into their bases, and it’s just him and joel now and he thinks that it might always come down to this, him and joel against each other, on each other’s team, dying for the same cause. sometimes. never. seapeekay’s kneeling, and joel has a blade at his throat, and it’s quiet, ash from the volcano slowly settling around them, just them and the breathing.

“i won,” joel says, then, quieter, “i won.”

“you did,” seapeekay doesn’t say. now what are you going to do with it?

what joel does with it is let his sword fall, stepping away from him, and sighing. “i expected to feel better about this,” he says. “but i don’t.”

“it’s just the two of us,” seapeekay says. “maybe that’s it.”

“this feels too easy. you must have something else.”

“i don’t.” he responds, feeling suddenly overwhelmingly exhausted. “there’s nothing else but this.”

joel looks at him, a long stare that makes him draw his cloak around him for… for protection, maybe.

“this was fun, while it lasted.”

seapeekay makes a noise of affirmation, before daring to ask, “what are you looking for?”

“what do you mean?”

“if this,” he waves his hand at the violent destruction of his base, the volcano still making a weak attempt to spew out lava, despite looking remarkably like a crushed soda can, “wasn’t what you were looking for, than what are trying to find?”

“i don’t know,” joel admits, staring out into the horizon, as if whatever he’s searching for will appear on the next one.

“i hope you find what you’re looking for,” he says, and he’s surprised that he means it, wholeheartedly.

joel’s eyes shift to his own, onyx to cognac, and he blinks. “thank you.”

seapeekay’s so surprised that they’ve had an interaction that didn’t end up with them killing each other, but rather friendly, he doesn’t tell joel anything else, and soon the other man is gone, leaving him among the ashes.)

(if you asked seapeekay who he was, he wasn’t sure what he’d tell you either. maybe he’d tell you something that’s true, but that’s not him, really him. the truth is he cannot separate his past lives, his past stories, from his true self. he’s an mcc winner, and he’s a kitsune, that’s obvious just from looking at him, but that’s not all he is, either. he’s a fae-witch-king, who clashed with the werewolf of mezalea, before he was a wolf or ruled mezalea, who knew the eldritch ocean-fae queen before she was of the ocean, who befriended wanderers and strays and people who didn’t seem to fit. he is a fae-witch-king, and that is something people forget.)

seapeekay accepts the invitation to afterlife smp three days later. he brings along the same rucksack and cloak he brought to see joel, before his coronation to become emperor of mezalea, when he told him that he found what he was looking for.

(what doesn’t change: he looks at joel, and sees friend and enemy in the same breath. he says “i hate you,” and means the opposite, and he doesn’t see the world ending anymore, he just sees his friend that ruled over a kingdom made of birch and picked a fight with a king who ruled fire just because he could.)

if he appears a bit more haunted, his friends don’t say anything.

(he still dreams of burning.)

(he still dreams of the world ending from another time.)

[simping-on-the-daily]

I have to yet to fully develop them but boom boom bitches did you think I would stop making Dream SMP OCs? Hell nah

They both be a combination of Tales of the Dream SMP characters and actual Dream SMP characters

They're all canon and they will eventually have their own bios, but this is just a place to hold my notes basically

Toastie

Slime hybrid

They/she

Full name is Toastie Rickroll (based off the last names generally being memes)

I listened to Hamilton while making her so that helps

Fought for L'Manburg during the Independence Arc

Eventually joined Schlatt's cabinet for Manburg, but later resigned and helped join Pogtopia

Also became part of the Butcher Army

Currently apart of no faction

Respects tradition very well

Their family has fought and died for their respective countries for years

And Toastie carried on the tradition

Without something or someone to fight for Toastie kinda feels useless

They're so used to fighting that peace is basically a foreign concept to her

It doesn't help with all the wars

Toastie does what they do best: protect

And with L'Manburg gone, they now have someone (or a few someone's to care for)

Very fond of their old cabinet and her Butcher Army friends

Despises Techno and Dream for destroying L'Manburg on numerous occasions

Phil is very close to also getting on their negative list

Their most precious item is their enchanted Netherite axe, the Mindbreaker

Toastie confirms it's a family heirloom you get when you learn how to hold scissors correctly

It basically has the blood of people who fought against the country Toastie's family decided to fight for and were either killed or tortured with it

Toastie wants to try and guide it and herself on a more peaceful path, but they always end up going to violence

It's kinda engraved in her

Since she trusts Quackity due to experience, they give him their axe daily as long as he brings it back

They're unaware that Quackity's using it to torture Dream

Very protective and dedicated to fighting for those they care about

Tends to learn towards fighting as her first option and runs her mouth a lot

ThEy'Re BoUncY-

They can jump really high

Really likes swamps

If they ever get injured, the injured part can turn into miniature versions of themselves similar to tiny slimes and they'll attack their opponent

Absolutely despies Magma Cubes and will attack them whenever she can get the chance

Whisp

Wolf hybrid

But they're also a ghost!

Their real name is Whisper, and their full name is Quiet Whispers

She/Her

Large grey ears on their head

Long tail that can fade sometimes due to ya know, death

Really fun to chew on bones despite the fact that she doesn't need to eat them and she can't even digest them

She can bond with other people and she can track the people she's bonded with

Can bite really hard, has enhanced speed and strength, and they also have a pretty pogchamp smell and eyesight

Despite the fact that's she pretty powerful, Whisp is a strict pacifist who only hung around L'Manburg due to having numerous friends there

Somehow the only ghost to have a decent fucking memory of her life

Remembers good and bad, though she sometimes wishes she doesn't

Red sweaters boiiisssss

Very forgiving and kind

But a really giant people pleaser and self-sacrificial

Her self worth is based on what people think of her

Tries her best to get on everyone's good side

It breaks her if someone dislikes her

Grew up in a really shitty household where Whisp was basically ignored

So she grew up trying to gain the affection that her family never gave her

Really fucking touch-starved

Just pretty bad self esteem, even when she's dead

Please just tell her that she means something outside of other people's opinions and that she's an amazing human being

Absolutely adores animals!

Has numerous pet cafes

Like, so many gosh dang cafes

There's one for cats, one for dogs, and then there's a giant miscellaneous one

They're all part of the same building and that's also another part of it which is basically her house

BFFs with Ghostbur

Please protect her and tell her that she's amazing she really needs it

Sunny

Full name is Sunny Wholesun

Last name is a pun off 'wholesome' and 'sun'

Very proud of it

She's an angel boissss

She/her

Very simliar to Bad in terms of personality

They're both very sweet and will help anyone

Isn't a part of any countries

She just pops in when she wants to,,,,,

Conflict freaks her out

Optimsitc pal that just chooses to look on the bright side of things,,,,

However-

She wants to desperately try and be her own person outside of 'Bad but angelic' but she keeps getting compared to him

She feels like she keeps being in people's shadows despite being a literal creature of purity and light

Feels like a side character honestly

Good friends with Phil, but disapproves of his title, most notably due to it having death in it

Said to know Dream XD and the other gods of the server

Absolutely understand very dirty stuff, but chooses to ignore it

Also can understand war and sadness

Sunny just kinds chooses to keep holding her head up high

In her own words "If you always keep thinking of sad things, you'll always be sad"

And now the TOTDS ones

Lady Venus

From the Masquerade timeline

Ghast hybrid royalty

Berothed to Sir Billiam the III since birth

Very much married and in love

She's pretty kind for a royal

Or at the very least more nicer

Treats her servants well and gives them pay as well as vacation days

However, she lacks empathy and is somewhat insensitive

Doesn't understand that some people don't have the same social privilege's as her

So she can piss some people off

Her main butler was Ryan and he was basically her best friend outside of Billiam and Ranbutler

However, Ryan got angry and ended up assassinating her

Spear in the chest

Felt incredibly betrayed since Ryan was one of her few friends and died feeling fear and shock

Billiam ended up executing Ryan

With the death of his lover, Billiam aligned with the Egg due it promising to bring Venus back if he swore alliance to it

She remains a ghost, but neither Ranbutler, Billiam or anyone else can't see her

Venus absolutely despises the Egg for corrupting her family, but at the same time, truly believes it can bring her back to life, so she needs it

Her spear ridden body is in the same room as the Egg, therefore corrupting her body, and therefore her ghost, which is connected to it

Whenever Billiam or Ranbutler go down there, it ended up motivating the two further in order to bring Venus back

She clings to the hope that when the Egg brings her back to life, she can reunite with her husband and adoptive son once more and forget the Egg

She know it won't happen but hope is kinda the only thing she has

At the Masquerade, she was only able to be seen and talk to Karl due to him being from another time

Truly felt bad about his death, but didn't stop it since she wanted to live again

Without her being able to produce a heir, the Ghast royal family basically went in shambles and they all eventually died, making the Ghasts a free place with no government or hierarchy

I really love Venus as she's a very fun character to do and also very sad

Supports Ranbutler rights

Meanings

From the Village That Went Mad

Morals' ancestor

My friend compared her to that Chris girl from Carrie and I love it

She's a complete and utter asshole

Like, a full on fucking dick

Horrible person to be around

She's a villager, but absolutely everyone wanted her dead due to being a full on bitch

Jimmy theorizes that this is because of her mother also being the Enderdragon and either feeling like she's on top of everyone because of it, or that she feels inferior because Meanings isn't her mum so she acts like a dick to cover it up

It's either one of those two options

Just a full on fucking dick

I also love playing her because she's a really fun character

Horrible person, yes

But absolutely hilarious to play as

Maggie/Michael

From the Lost City of Mizu

I don't consider Mizu to be the official future, but rather an alternate reality, so bear with me in mind for that

I feel really smart with her name

It means Pearl, and you know

Mizu being an underwater city and all that?

Michael means 'who is like God', which refers to her best friend's......love for a past figure

They're genderfluid! Mostly goes by she/her, though on some days, they go with he/him

Her relationship with Ranbob is very similar to the one between Morals' and Dream

Since I don't see the story as a possible canon future but instead another alternate reality, she's not a descendant of anyone

And you know what? You wanna know what?

She's a cow hybrid now

Why? Because I said so

Remove Ranbob's very yandere personality and their friendship is friendship goals

Heck, even with it, it's still friendship goals

I will defo have more but those are the only Tales of the Dream SMP episodes I've watched, so-
