#THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU SKEPPY

[cloversart365]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKEPPY

I MEANT TO POST THIS A FEW MINUTES AGO BUT AHHHHHH SADNESS ITS 12:18 WHERE I AM SO I MISSED THE DAYYYYYYY :000

[born-in-hell]

Looking back, i think one the things that brought the hater out of me the most during qsmp (regarding the players themselves and the story) was how so many decisions made, and arguments defended, based on ooc criteria.

Like, ok. I love bagi. I adore bagi. I recite prayers for bagi every night before i sleep. I am not saying bagi — or anyone else that wouldve been invited if other ppl won — shouldnt have been invited to the qsmp. But my GOD the opportunity for the election winner to chooses someone to send to what's essentially an open air PRISION is insane to me. No islander fucking WANTS to be there so WHYYYYY would they subject a loved one to the SAME TORTURE??????? (except like bbh inviting skeppy cuz whatever they have going on is kinda weird and they're both old as fuck so who cares)

It is a fun decision out of the rp. It gives the players a nice prize if they manage to win. And it could've stayed at that, an ooc prize. But NO they had to mention it canonically. More then once. So much that some players (cof cof) argued bbh shouldnt win bc he would invite skeppy in a non democratic way. That was a CANNON ARGUMENT. MADE BY A PLAYER.

I cant stress how much i hate this decision. I can't stress how much i adored the story and these little things broke the immersion so much for me.

How did NO ONE go against inviting someone to basically be a little lab rat???????? Not even like cellbit. Or baghera. Or anyone else.

The mods thing is less insane. Also very ooc, but not as infuriating in lore, bc it is just a fun decision thing and not like,, idk, choosing a friend to send to an open air torture house. Still broke the immersion for me a lot tho.

And now with fucking purgatory. Oh god.

This time it wasnt even Qstudios' fault (which sounds insane considering,, well, the array of poorly analyzed decisions). It was the fault some of the players that decided that "in meta this doesnt make sense!!!!! they wouldnt do this!!!" is a valid argument to bring into an IN CHARACTER DISCUSSION.

All the things tubbo said abt the cursed team were in character. All his arguments were perfectly cohesive w the things qtubbo was supposed to know, and all the times he talked to them he was playing the character. Just for them to reply w "i think ur wrong bc qstudios wouldnt do this in meta bc there HAS to be a winner"

NO THERE DOESN'T????????? Purgatory was a poorly planned and poorly executed event that id argue shouldve never existed but oh my GOD.

This is gonna sound corny but if you look at the cursed team in a completely meta perspective, the objective wouldve been very clear — force the teams to unite so that the cursed team would win (remember that if the cursed team won they could get all the eggs back instead of only 1) .

The moral here wouldve been that friendship is magic ✨ (< sorry)

And to be honest, that would've been a much more tolerable event. I wont elaborate; u all know why.

Idk if qstudios shouldve been more clear abt it, or even if they thought as far as i did — considering, well, everything that we know today. I just think not listening to someone saying things w proof bc "in meta they wouldnt do that" is dumb and breaks the immersion so much for me.

They couldve discussed it like that in their ooc convos. But they did it during rp and thats what i dont like.

Anyways sorry for this rant i woke up a hater today,, i hope this makes even a little bit of sense. Also this is not a hate to the ccs, still adore (most of) them. Sometimes ppl make mistakes and thats totally ok!!!!!!! Regarding the elections i think it was mostly a poor decision and direction from qstudios then the players' fault. Purgatory was the players themselves (in this specific case) tho..

Yeah thats it 👍

CYN I NEED TOASK</3

Whats karl in this au 😭😭😭 n how did he meet the fiances😭😭😭🥺

SO GLAD YOU ASK

so Karl, out of the fiancé trio, has been on the ship the longest. I don’t know how to lead up to this and i don’t wanna do like hints or stuff so i’ll put it bluntly:

he’s a dragon.

he was cursed by some evil wizard into a human form and now he’s the ships cartographer (cause he knows where everything is from flying around as a dragon) and he’s looking for someone to undo the curse. Currently he has to stay human but can turn into a dragon for at most a few days, though it becomes painful at that point and he has to turn back. Y’know that one quote from The Last Unicorn like “I can feel this body dying all around me!” yeah it’s like that. watch The Last Unicorn it traumatized me when i was little.

anyway Quackity’s got some fucked up lore too which i’ll get into later so this sentence isn’t gonna make any sense, but Karl met Quackity after he helped murder a mafia boss and was rescued from legal consequence by his ex fiancés sister. Quackity is an avian, and animal hybrids are seen as lesser by society. Elytrians are big bird hybrids, Avians are small, not like it matters much cause Elytrians were hunted to extinction by humanity. Avians are treated incredibly poorly, but Karl took one look at Q’s shiny golden wings and his dragon brain claimed him instantly.

anyway they fall in love and Karl (who’s able to use a limited amount of magic, forgot to mention that) gives him a necklace that can make him big so he can hide his avian traits and pretend to be human when they dock (and so they can make out i mean what who said that)

as for Sapnap, he meets Quackity when the DTeam kidnap him and arrest him for piracy as mentioned in a previous post. Sapnap is alone with him tied up in the depths of the ship and is really just trying to get under his skin when he realizes that messing with said necklace sends Q into a visible panic. It’s upon taking the necklace off that he sees why.

Sapnap doesn’t see that Q is a hybrid, but he is very panicked when his captive shrinks. Sapnap is stunned, but quickly puts the necklace back on Q and re-ties him up, never mentioning to Dream or George what he saw, which Quackity appreciates since they could have tortured him while he was small. On the other hand, Karl initially hates Sapnap. His dragon instincts see him as someone who tried to steal not just someone from his hoard, but his mate, which his instincts deem unforgivable. Sure Dream and George are perceived in the same way, but Sapnap was more vocal about hurting Quackity during the kidnap to try and egg the pirates on, so to Karl he’s the worst of the three. Quackity, on the other hand, likes Sapnap more than Dream and George initially since Sapnap hid his secret and returned his necklace. So other than Bad and Skeppy (obviously), Quackity is the nicest to Sapnap on the ship and frequently stops Karl’s attempts to throw him overboard (Sapnap still refuses to remove his anti-mermaid cuffs and Karl knows damn well he can’t swim)

anyway that’s all for now, yaoi be upon ye

[cdroloisms]

yeah like cdream is someone who is not very good talking and has problems with communication, he never was someone that made other characthers want to follow him and stuff and sometimes was a dick but the thing it's how people just used him being reserved to talk over him and stripping him out of his autonomy and humanity and treating him like less than a animal

like ... to be fair to people, dream was dogshit at communicating for like, a lot of the server. he really didn't let anyone on that things bothered him until pressed, and then when pressed framed things in practical objective ways that made him come off more authoritative than bothered by the way he was treated. really, honestly, it's not even until like, around the exile conflict where he's communicating at all abt his feelings and by then he's also lying half the time and purposefully crafting a dishonest mask of himself to project towards people to make them think that he's a crazy murderous person that has to be locked away? and also was losing his whole mind.

even if we look at stuff like, lmanburg, isn't it telling that the only people he's talking about being bothered by lmanburg to is ... like, skeppy. or being upset abt his houses being bulldozed and griefed to sapnap and george. he's not really made it a habit of communicating to other people, especially the people that are doing the things that are bothering him, that he's you know. got an issue with it? and when he does do that communication it's like, stuff like "give me back the things you stole immediately. or i kill your pets" ASKFJLAS like

like, and even then, right, c!dream still had quite a lot of friendly interactions with people on the server? i wouldn't say he was all around hated early on--but he was seen as someone kind of unpredictable, kind of Weird As Hell, kind of morally eeeeh with lmanburg's influence on his reputation. He was the big bad in lmanburg but mostly he was just, a guy that was around and could sometimes give you lots of shit and could sometimes be kind of a dick. like it's just--there's a lot w/ c!dream where people did stuff that freaked him out not really meaning to, because there's a sort of trophy-like nature attributed to THEEE dream, and then c!dream didn't exactly communicate either and would sometimes play into people's assumptions there, but overall the balance of it all was sustainable and people generally were able to interact peacably (or at least, solve their disputes so they wouldn't be permanent issues) until manberg/pogtopia up to november 16th really had everything get really serious for everyone in a short period of time. between the revive book's effects on c!dream's, everything, and the way that manberg/pogtopia is really the nail in the coffin for his reputation (and you know, a natural consequence of his guy not telling anyone shit except for apparently like the people he absolutely shouldn't have been telling shit? and also literally DIED???) and just everyone being a mess after the whole debacle, things just...snowballed out of control in a way that they couldn't really re-settle back to being normal the way they had before

[mynameisnotsoda]

Explaining my entire dsmpsona playlist because I can

P.s. every mention of Soda in this post isn't me, i just dont feel like putting c! In front of it every single time LMAO

Also i dont think i ever posted the ref on tumblr!!?!??! Criminal but putting it here is better methinks

I also put this in my studentbur playlist, which feels fitting for both of them. However for Adam its more metaphorical whereas with Soda its more literal.

I have my own shapeshifter lore that's loitering in my brain that i need to write down eventually BUT the basics are essentially that shapeshifters are "born" from the planet. They CAN come from other shapeshifters but only once and most choose not to have a bio kid.

So basically, Soda literally popped out of the ground one day, was found by Sapnap and then adopted by Bad and Skeppy. Soda was maybe physically 9/10 years old and was so curious about the world and excited to experience life. If any creature could possibly be made of pure love, its them.

Growing up Soda got REALLY attached to Bad, they clung onto him a lot and it was to the point where it was probably unhealthy. Of course Bad noticed, which made him actually set some boundaries despite not really wanting to. Skeppy was able to convince him, though, as when it comes to the kids hes the voice of reason.

So, Bad would start off by telling Soda that he was going to be gone, leading up to him just disappearing for maybe a few hours at a time before eventually coming back. Eventually Soda was able to function without Bad, but that ended up backfiring as they just latched onto Sapnap instead.

With Soda's attachment to their brother, they tagged along with him when he went out fairly often but after being weened off of Bad it became more frequent. Soda and Sapnap were practically attached at the hip, regardless of Sapnap's protesting.

With a group of teenagers they were obviously doing some reckless, stupid shit and Soda was just along for the ride! At first Dream and George hated Soda—they were just Sapnap's annoying younger sibling—but eventually they got used to Soda being around. Especially since they may have persuaded Soda to use their shapeshifting for nefarious purposes.

At first everyone found Soda adorable, their cheery optimism, endless energy and amusing naivety was a part of their charm. But then it became...obnoxious.

Sapnap always had a short temper, he tried his best to handle it, but sometimes he'd just snap at Soda when they became too much of a handful. He was always quick to apologize but it affected Soda deeply.

Soda very much struggled with any sort of negative emotions, when they felt it—it hit them hard. One day, it was enough to send them spiraling, having a panic attack alone in their room. This was also the first time memories of their past lives resurfaced. At first it was rather intriguing, though a jumpscare, but then it just got worse.

It seemed like Soda's lives were always filled with turmoil and a constant feeling of dread. The stronger their emotions became the more fragments of memories would appear. Soda didn't tell anyone about this.

Skipping much further ahead, Soda obviously sided with the Dteam during the revolution. They were family, in Soda's eyes at least. Which made it incredibly easy for Dream to use that to his advantage. He used them in every way that he could to win the war, even going as far as to try and make Soda resent Tommy and Tubbo. Soda was a spy, mostly, turning into a cat to effortlessly infiltrate the enemy. They heard and saw everything, but part of them felt bad for it, so they never told Dream everything. He noticed.

The horrors of being a child soldier.

Dream's obsession with power and control was never obvious, not to his friends and certainly not to Soda. They truly believed he had good intentions despite going to war with Wilbur. Then again, Soda doesn't understand what war really is. But the pressure to keep up with Dream's demands and avaid his increasing irritably became exhausting and overwhelming. Yet Soda believed it was their fault.

Tubbo and Tommy weren't safe from the horrors either, they had that much in common with Soda. The three of them went through hell, basically.

Dream.

Aaaand tumblr wont let me add more songs so im cutting this into parts through reblogs. I'll probably continue this later (bc its almost 2am pFF) and might post the second part before i go to sleep like im doing now :P

I am cringe but I am free

[etoilesbienne]

Nice to see that apparently we’ve all read it runs in the family. It was my guilty pleasure fic and i didn’t expect to see other people talking about it. I started reading it like a month after i got into bad and dsmp and i was /obsessed/. It’s one of those fics that changes your brain chemistry and makes you stare at a wall after reading it. To this day im still subbed to it on the off chance that it gets another chapter.

like genuinely its an enamoring fic it has an odd premise but like the author has so much potential in, like, being able to write genuinely engaging narratives. i'm shocked at how much setup is put into the work and you can tell where the narrative is going in a way that's like watching a trainwreck. You know exactly where it is going but the journey of getting there is so fascinating to watch.

anyway i want to ramble about what i liked and what i didn't like in the fic. so. huge reader discretion advised, go look at the other warnings i posted about this fic before reading this (also spoilers for the fic ahead)

like part of its most interesting facets is it is one of the few fics that tackles this sort of heavy subject matter of assault and kidnapping and doesn't really shy away from how genuinely negative it is and can be. like don't get me wrong ive enjoyed other psychological horror before, but it was, like, nice? to see the "pets" all be like genuinely upset and respond realistically to the situation they're in. no "they really like it secretly" undertone.

not a criticism but my favorite part of this story is the random ass normal human names they try to give everyone. they made skeppy have a white ass last name. bbh's name is Bad Halo. purpled doesn't even show up but his name is mentioned to be, like, "nolan purpled but he goes by purpled because his cheating whore of a mom named him nolan and he hates her" genuinely funniest line of the whole fic one of my favorites i can never ever forget it. i need to find all the human names in this theyre so fucking funny.

also badboyhalo? while he IS woobified and made much more demure and defanged, he's still like... that IS badboyhalo. his moments of complete suspicion at every encounter. his doubting. refusal to break the mould and rock the boat out if fear something bad would happen. VERY badboyhalo sentiments. also the fact the writer knew about skephalo divorce. going to be honest, looking at how their other work contains a6d, i think the writer was/is a bbh watcher. and then the schlatthalo. the fact they made schlatt ask to curse? and then bbh laughed when he did? this person understood both of these guys. they did their homework. schlatt isn't a megalomaniac evil villain one note. i don't know if i'd call both of them "in character" per say, but i can definitely say they had consistent characterization and i could understand how their characters got to these versions.

also the technohalo multifaceted concept? techno seeing bbh as too innocent? putting bbh on a pedestal and denying his humanity in that way? WILD. the setup and writing was all there for, like, bbh using his body and manipulating techno to turn against phil.

like the good parts of this fic are such crazy highs and peaks it makes the lows look so much worse.

speaking of which: wilbur soot.

by god is wilbur soot not a character, he is a force of nature and just continuous digging deeper on trying to fix a problem the writer accidentally started. none of sbi really are fleshed out or rounded characters, but wilbur soot is like by far getting the worst treatment. im not even a wilbur fan LOL.

he's supposed to be a schizophrenic serial killer which already isn't a great start, and then you watch the writer realize the issue and try to fix what they've started. this is when schizophrenic medicated slimecicle comes in. followed by badboyhalo looking at the camera and going Not All Mentally Ill People Are Bad. which was just really funny in such a morbid way. but then the writer DOES go in an interesting direction with phil denying his condition and refusing to help him get medicated. however with the slimecicle medicated moment it comes off as a medication = The Good Mentally Ill Person narrative. genuinely i dont know how id solve the wilbur issue without extensive rewriting. he's just a mess.

phil i think is one of the most interesting of sbi, being made into a central antagonist and a genuinely good villain. his scenes have well made tension and poses actual threat and stakes to the narrative. he's a good villain! techno has an interesting arc with bbh but just isn't given enough screentime and doesn't have much beyond "brute to be manipulated" which sucks a little. tommy is tommy. only one of sbi i could see not dying in a fire at the end. wilbur, despite his other issues is a narrative driver with his capriciousness, but the schizophrenia plotline is such a mess that he just is not a person here, he's a plot device more than anything.

more abstractly i do wish they committed and, like, had sex scenes or were blatant about sex happening. like they keep dancing around it but so much of the fic does not make sense if sex isn't what's occurring here. like i get subtlety if the avoidance of sex is what they're aiming for! but its okay to, like, maybe make it more clear whatever techno and bbh have going on is obviously sexual, because that can be used to advance the narrative and make it more clear bbh is using his body to manipulate here, because that'd be a good plot point to continue the themes and motifs of the story. i also just do not know how else to interpret the relationship lol.

my other biggest criticism is make it less misogynistic. the only three named women are the dead samsung smart fridge (who is now a dead mom named samantha), minx the alcoholic witness, and puffy, who is somehow ranboo's mom. like the ableism is horrific here but its so over the top stupid in the ableism, while the misogyny is subtle and just reeks. genuinely why is puffy ranboo's mom that sucks so fucking bad. make her be his aunt or guardian or something. but mom? c'mon.

i rambled way too long lol there's more i can say but this fic is my roman empire. the writer has so much potential but just needs more life experience to understand mental illness and misogyny. also a beta reader to fix their formatting. and maybe make their dialogue more human. shoutout to ranboo giving his name and phone number to tommy after tommy literally fucking tells him he'd "make a beautiful corpse" CRAZY exchange. no human would do that.

[th3-c0ll3ct3r]

Guys I made a YouTube comment about six months ago talking about the absolute horrendous downfall of the dream SMP and how only a select few people came out as genuinely good people are not just hypocritical ahole

And some of those comments and replies were but what about badboyhalo?

And to that I say he may be a absolute gem of a guy currently, but let me tell you if I was a friend of yours and you look to me in the eyes and told me that you were joining kick.com, I would not encourage or defend your actions if you got car lacking on Twitter.

BBH defending Sapnap's decision because people are being rude is one thing, but then further defending his actions afterwards, DIABOLICAL

And when Sapnap moved he did not want his audience at all of the people that could be on that platform there were some young people walking in blind on that platform.

I do not want to go through the things that go on on that platform today but I want you to know that the cat in the blender live stream originally came from kick.com.

There were people from his community getting DMS from people who are way older than them asking to meet up.

And Sapnap's solution? "oh we're working on changing it"

Let me tell you if I was ever in the position of being his friend I would have told him straight up he messed up the minute he signed that contract.

I need an even sign out of good safe he signed it because they gave him like a million dollars.

It should not take a miracle in a half to realize that your friend is doing something that impacts you and that impacts them and that impacts there career and is an overall bad idea for everyone involved.

BBH was a bad guy in this situation because you should not be encouraging your friends to do something that's bad you can support the if they've already made that choice but encouraging them beforehand is a big no-no

Even Skeppy's and BBH's, was on the mend for a bit because skeppy he realized it was a bad idea after a whole and stopped defending it.

Tubbo realised it was a shitty idea. Smajor realised it was a bad idea. HECK EVEN TWITCH THE BIG ASS COMPANY THEMSELVES HAD PRIVATELY EMAILED HIM TO ASK IF HE WAS SURE.

I think it's absolutely lovely that you want to try and fix something that is already been shattered into a million pieces put through a meat grinder swallowed by Elon Musk then pooped out in the Sahara Desert eaten by a camel travelled five miles then pooped out again washed away by the River Nile and is now right next to the explosion site of ocean Gate, but oh my god did you have to make that.

You could have... Idk NOT streamed on that sight and helped from behind the scenes.

As a friend imma tell you if you messing up, and I don't want to be that kind of person but if your friends are encouraging you for a bad idea then they're not your friends they're not even good people.

If there was probably 1 to a billion worth of people telling you it was a good idea, and those 8 people were your friends would you still think it was a good idea of the rest of the world told you no?

Because that was the situation.

You would have to catch me in a state of intoxication severe the depravity for me to look you in the eyes and encourage you to do something that I know would be the worst mistake you've ever done in your entire life, with the whole world against me.

It's diabolical his friends let him do that. And it's even worse now that he's adopted the behavior of some of the horrific people on that site.

You'd be catching me LACKING if I looked up one of my friends who would switched up there behavior into their true form of hating absolutely everything and being the worst person possible and when our publicly support that.

NO. NEVER.

And I don't care about the "but he did it from a place of good intention" bit. How did you miss the rest of the world telling you there was no good intention?

So do I think BBH is a good person on the Internet? No.

What do I think he can be a good person? Yes.

Will I ever see him as a good person? No. Not even a good friend. Good homie none of bs.

Books, Vampires, and Baby Vaccines

Day Six: (All) I got Technoblade and the Syndicate, and I started typing and ended up with vampires. Oops : ]

TW: mentioned dog bite, mentioned rabies vaccine

When Technoblade founded the Syndicate, he did not expect it to end up like this.

Honestly, it was just supposed to be a book club. How was he supposed to know that nobody read Greek Mythology except him and a bunch of immortals?

His aunt would probably kill him if she knew he was out in the woods cozying up to a bunch of vampires. In his defense, though, it is really cold.

And, despite the fact that they're dead as dust, Ranboo's pretty damn warm. Their blanket is super soft too.

And they're also like twelve, so Technoblade's pretty sure that even if they did decide to attack him all of the sudden, he'd be alright.

Probably.

He did see Tommy pick up an entire car once, but Ranboo had seemed pretty shocked themself so he figures that maybe that's just a Tommy thing.

Tommy's a weird kid.

Even weirder than Technoblade, who's the weirdest eleven year old in the whole city.

He knows because his teacher Mr. Skeppy tells him all the time, and he'd normally be upset, but the man says it like Technoblade's his kid and he just got an A+ on his report card so he doesn't really mind all that much.

Anyways, the point is that Tommy's weird, Technoblade's weirder, and the whole book club is vampires now except for him.

Actually--

Technobalde shifts to look at the spot between Ranboo's eyes. Ranboo, who's super polite, doesn't even look at Technoblade's face.

"Could I be a vampire?" Technobalde asks and Tommy makes a face.

"You're definitely not a vampire," he says and Technoblade rolls his eyes.

"No, I mean could I be a vampire," he says, "Like, could you make me a vampire?"

Tommy looks excited for half a second before his face falls and he scowls.

"No," he says, crossing his arms clearly pretty upset about it, "Dad said we can't make anyone else into vampires until we're a hundred and twenty."

"It's a mean rule," Tubbo says, blinking sleepily while Niki ties braids into his hair.

"It's still the rules, though," Ranboo points out.

Technoblade, who has never once followed a rule ever--and Mr. Skeppy doesn't count--says, "You shouldn't follow a rule if it's ridiculous."

Ridiculous is Technoblade's favorite word, ever since Mr. Halo--who he's pretty sure is Mr. Skeppy's secret demon husband--said that he was very ridiculous after he wrote a story about their demon marriage that made Mr. Skeppy so red in the face that he looked like a tomato.

"We have to follow the rules, though," Niki says and Technoblade scowls, sitting up more but not pulling away from Ranboo or his blanket.

"But were the Syndicate!" he points out, because they hate the rules and there's a lot of them and that's basically unionizing so they shouldn't have to do anything.

"Yeah, but Phil's the Syndicate too, though," Tubbo points out and Technoblade frowns.

He knew he shouldn't have invited any grown-ups into the Syndicate.

But Philza was cool!

He's the coolest vampire ever, with great big wings and a really nice bunch of birds that sound a lot like Chat when they caw a bunch at the same time.

"Fine," Technoblade says, "I'll just become a werewolf or something."

"No!" Tubbo cries, "Don't be a werewolf! They stink!"

"Tubbo," Niki scolds, "Jack doesn't stink."

"He does too," Tommy says, sticking out his tongue at her, "You're just mad 'cause he's your boyfriend."

"You take that back," she demands, getting up to her feet and leaving a sleepy Tubbo falling back onto the ground.

"Never!" Tommy shouts, turning to run deeper into the forest.

Niki chases after him, hot on his heels and Technoblade decides to ignore any screaming that may or may not commence after the face.

Tubbo, now sleep and grumpy, pushes at Techno until he lets him crawl into the blanket with him and Ranboo.

When Technoblade founded the Syndicate, he did not expect it to end up like this.

He's pretty okay with that, though.

---

Technoblade does not turn into a werewolf.

He does, however, have to explain the angry-red dog bite on his arm to his aunt and he gets himself scolded silly and taken to the doctors for a babies vaccine.

He tries to insist that he's not a baby anymore, especially since he fought a dog all by himself, but his aunt does not relent.

Techoblade resigns himself to being turned into a baby by the doctors. At least then he might have a chance at living long enough to get turned into a vampire.

---

Technoblade never does turn into a vampire.

By the time Tommy's finally old enough to turn him, Technoblade has already made himself a place in the coven--his coven--as the infamous Blood God.

And, while the Sleepy Boys end up called a lot of things over the decades, the Syndicate always seems to be the title that sticks.

And to think that it all started over a book on Greek Mythology and a couple of kids in the woods.

---

So Wilbur just shows up one day to the book club, a normal human who definitely is not a changeling here to take Technoblade's soul

I just ran out of time to write his part again

[thesnailkiwi]

1, 2, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, and 25 for traffic life?

1. The character everyone gets wrong

Okay, see, I know people have different ideas and opinions and headcannons, but OH. MY. GOSH. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED.

The MCYT fandom makes me want to scream half the time. I'm gonna say it. Everyone gets BadBoyHalo wrong. Skeppy, Tommyinnit, JSchlatt, Stressmonster, Niki, and a bunch more, too. Half the time I want to explode in this fandom, so I stick with fanart, unless it's flower husbands. Because most FH shippers can read the characters well.

Musical theatre. People always (well, okay, not *always*) get Heather McNamara wrong when acting. I've seen so many awful versions. And Jenna Rolan from Be More Chill, especially when writing fanfic. Though, lemme tell you, all the characters in Be Less Single (BMC dating sim fan game) were spot on. Perfect, I tell you.

2. Compelling argument why my fave would never top or bottom

OKAY SO LISTEN UP, FUCKERS. MICHAEL MELL IS A SWITCH AND I STAND BY THAT.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

8. Common fandom opinion everyone is wrong about

I'm overthinking. This could either mean opinions ABOUT fandom or fandom discourse. I'm assuming the latter.

I dunno man. I don't pay attention much to other people's opinions. I mean, if they badmouth my blorbos, I will have a compelling argument why the are the best being to exist. Headcannon-wise? I mean, okay, I really don't want this taken the wrong way *at all*. But I don't like it when people include [insert character] is trans/queer/pronouns/mental disability if it doesnt have anything to do with the fafic/story that's being told. I understand if you project or write a vent fic or whatever, because those are things to get out of your brain, or if you headcannon this or that, I get it. But if it has no relevance at all to the story, *if it isn't even mentioned*, DONT PUT IT IN THE GODDAMN TAGS.

It's not really a heated opinion, but I needed that out there.

I don't really like to shit on other people's headcannons. But if the opinion is "glup shitto is a bad character", OR FUKIGN WHATEVER THE FUCK THE MCYT SPACE DID TO NIKI, then I will fight you.

WAIT WAIT DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON TOMMYINNIT X HERMITCRAFT. OR TOMMYINNIT X EMPIRES. UGH. I HATE IT SO MUCH.

12. The unpopular character I like and everyone else hates

Okay. Listen. Purpled. Barely anyone paid attention to that guy because he wasn't a "main character" (there were none in the DSMP, people.) And everyone doesn't like his character after what he did to Slime. But I feel like he's a super deep character that gets overlooked. Quackity literally blew up his house and forced him to go live in Las Nevadas. Quackity also took a lot more from him, too. And when he killed/kidnapped Slime, he was projecting and let all of his grief out on the thing that Quackity cared about, since everything Purpled loved was taken from him.

17. There should be more of this type of fic/art

Okay okay okay. But like, guys. Coffee shop au's. It's simple, right? It's one of the most well known. BUT JESUS, BMC FANDOM, THERE ARE LIKE 5 TOTAL ON AO3. SOULMATE ONES, TOO.

Speaking of soulmates, the Hermitcraft/Life series doesn't have that many non-canon function ones. Like, I want to see timers. Or strings. Or the characters see color for the first time. Or the place their soulmate touches them first changes colors. There's not many.

18. It's absolutely criminal the fandom has been sleeping on...

The MCYT fandom has been sleeping on a bunch of damned bricks, don't even get me started.

There's too much to put for the MCYT fandom.

The BMC fandom has been sleeping on the wholeass line of "If Christine likes me in the end, will I be able to pretend I didn't fail my one real friend?" And all of the hidden stuff in the music. Like how in the broadway version, in The Play, the backtrack plays LGW when Jeremy gives Christine the Mtn Dew Red.

19. I'm mad/ashamed/horrified that I like...

I'm not answering this one. I apologize, but these heinous words do not need to be said to the entire world.

22. The favorite part of Canon everyone ignores

MCYT: everyone ignores smaller creators and literally the entire Canon. So all of it.

BMC: okay, listen, the silver hair the squip has is an absolute banger, okay??? And let's talk about that entire couch scene where Christine rejects Jeremy.

23. The ship I'm unwillingly coming around to

Majorwood. Kill me. I hate it so much omg but like, it slaps.

25. Annoying common fandom complaint

Uh, guys, it's okay to like the Era when ranboo and tubbo were friends. It's not taboo. I still go back and watch vods.

Sorry that one genuinely pisses me off whenever I see people like, "I wish that never happened". Like, guys, don't ignore important parts of what got ranboo to who he is and where he is today. Educate the young boobers. It's not wrong to like when two people are friends.

Then I hate it when people complain about shipping convex and are like "they're brothers!" No, they're not. That's your headcannon, not mine. Same with Grian and Jimmy. They aren't brothers. You can ship them if you want, just don't make it weird.

Anyway, thank you as per usual for sending me the ask, trash the beloved

[scoops404]

I spent a while thinking about this story again. I mentioned in the post above that I thought about this as I was falling asleep. That's very typical for me when I'm excited about an idea. I realized I needed a few more instances of DNF falling into the fwb dynamic, and thus this part was born (you'll see)

Okay - morning writing is in (this is also a very good writing day, btw) and I'm done with lunch time writing (normally would have been a bit longer but I have a huge client presentation today)

Continuation of the original snippet/beginning scene:

Morning words:

“We should—” George starts to say, when reality starts sinking in. “We should stop.” But Dream bucks his hips up and his dick rubs against George’s so very nicely and suddenly he can’t think any farther than getting vertical.

They scramble into the closest room—Dream’s—while the energy between them heightens. In Dream’s bed, whatever forward momentum they had dissipates.

Dream’s mouth presses against George’s, lips soft and plush, but the drive to do more, go farther, disappears.

George finds that he isn’t disappointed. He lets Dream’s beard tickle at his cheeks, enjoys the way his bigger body feels pressed up against George—like one of Dream’s famous hugs, but more intimate. Longer lasting.

They giggle and press drunken kisses back and forth until they both fall asleep in Dream’s bed.

-

They didn’t really mention that night—George woke up to a bottle of water and some advil on the nightstand, gulped it down thankfully, and punched Dream in the arm later for leaving a hint of a hickey on his neck. They laughed it off.

George keeps waiting for Dream to mention it, to want to talk about it, but it never comes. In the next few days, when George purposefully doesn’t bring it up, Dream’s eyes seem to be thankful and relieved.

It doesn’t take long to emigrate to the land of forgotten things.

-

That is, until a few months later, it happens again.

This time, there’s no alcohol involved. Well, neither of them are intoxicated. George has barely had a sip. He’s found he doens’t love being drunk and he hates the increasingly awful hangovers as he gets older even worse. So he doesn’t drink often.

The Munchy MC crew is over, plus Sylvee, Hannah, and Puffy. They streamed a bit, across different channels, boosting each other’s streams like it’s 2020 again. George enjoys having them over.

Later, after the cameras are off and the drinks come out, the games begin.

They’re such stupid games, things none of them really felt like they got the chance to play as teenagers.

“Dream,” Skeppy says, on his turn once Hannah the rule follower pointed out he can’t pick Bad for a dare again. “Dream, I dare you to—to kiss the prettiest girl here.”

It’s like the air is sucked out of the room. For a heartbeat, George looks over at Sylvee in her cute black crop top, at Hannah, with her long hair and longer legs, at Puffy with her cool energy and wonders—which one will it be? Which one is he going to have to watch Dream kiss?

[and now lunch words]

He keeps his face frozen, trying to fix his expression so he won’t give anything away. Give what away? He doesn’t even know. How could he know? He doesn’t—

Dream smiles a dumb, stupid smile, the one he gets when he’s cooking something up. He makes a beeline for Hannah and everyone starts carousing and jeering, Puffy flicks him off with two middle fingers, but at the last second—Dream swerves.

He basically dives into George’s lap and plants a kiss right on his lips. George doesn’t even have enough time for it to register before Dream pulls back and everyone dissolves into laughter and screams—how dare Dream “cheat” like this.

George pushes Dream off of him, into the space opening up from Hannah leaning away in shock and delight.

“Once a cheater, always a cheater!” Sapnap calls, the tease clear in his voice. If anyone else said that shit, Sapnap would knock their lights out.

“Bro’s down bad,” Punz agrees, but there’s a hint of a heart in his eyes like he finds it cute. George can’t look at him. Because he can’t reach Punz, he elbows Dream painfully.

“You gotta admit George is the prettiest one here,” Dream says, with that stupid tone in his voice. He’s putting on a show and it’s—George shouldn’t have a problem with it.

“You are so stupid,” he says quietly, still a little in shock.

“You liked it,” Hannah says with a lascivious smirk.

“Dream barely even kissed you,” Sam points out. “Dream, if you gave me a little smooch, I’d eat that up, man. I’d love it. You should give him a real one.”

“Yeah,” Bad agrees, usually the voice of reason—to some extent—in these situations. “Kiss him! We’ve been watching you two muffins for years, there’s no cameras on, do a real kiss.”

Dream looks over at George, the joke gone from his eyes to be replaced with a hint of panic. Well, George isn’t the one who got him in this situation. It’s his own dumb fault. Or maybe Skeppy’s. Or Hannah’s for insisting he can’t dare Bad again. All George knows is that it’s not George’s fault.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” All their stupid dumb idiot friends start chanting, Sylvee’s voice particularly high pitched on his left. And Dream keeps sending panicked eyes at George until George gives up, gives in, grabs Dream’s t-shirt and hauls him in for a real kiss.

It’s punitive. It’s a show.

George has never backed down from a dare, even one that isn’t his dare, but he’s not going to let himself be humiliated here. He’s going to take back the power.

Dream’s lips feel as good as they did the last time.

He hates his mouth the way a sinner hates heaven.

For a second, just a second, he falls into the kiss and the world around them disappears. Their friends blink out of existence, like they’ve disapparated, and all George knows is Dream’s mouth moving with his, the dance they fall into, the way they can pick up a game like It Takes Two and immediately fall into a partnership.

It’s Dream that backs away, pulls off. It’s always Dream starting shit and then backing off when it gets too intense.

George doesn’t need to think about that too deeply.

When the room comes back into focus, they’re quiet. Too quiet. Eyes are darting around, catching each other’s curious gazes, no one quiet knowing what to say.

Well, George knows the perfect thing to say. He pushes Dream hard until he falls on his ass.

“Pussy,” George says and pops the balloon with a pin.

Writing a Scoops Fic

With Scoops. Featuring: Scoops.

This will get long, so it's under the cut. And it will contain spoilers for the fic, which kinda seem obvious, but alas.

Lol okay, when an initial idea hits me, I usually send it out into the universe to see if it's a good idea (sometimes in private DMs and sometimes I'll tweet it). This idea struck me yesterday when I was watching my niece and nephew and my dad off-handedly mentioned the show "I didn't know I was pregnant" (i'm staying with my parents while my apartment is being renovated and I'm slowly dying)

Here's the idea:

I tweeted this idea out to my private twitter at 5:22pm yesterday and then all my friends slowly exploded. The more I think about it, the more i think Mario anon might have done something similar (they've covered pretty much all the mpreg tropes but are usually sfw and established relationship). So, to make this idea my own, it'll be nsfw (hi, hello, it's me. And that's like the super fun part about writing this idea) and not established relationship - friends with benefits immediately makes this situation even more complicated. I'm in.

There's no time or energy to write last night so I stewed on the idea and when I got to work this morning I made myself focus on my novel writing (that should be the priority but im currently stuck). And wrote some then. But for on my lunch break, I thought, why not? Let's see what comes out. I talked with my friends at work for like thirty minutes and then wrote 828 words. I'm going to share all of those words with you at the end. This is very vulnerable for me because I'm purposefully not going to clean them up or edit, just show you what I've raw dogged. ((to be fair, though, i think the opening line is like banging))

Then, on my drive home, I thought about it more and more and most of the plot materialized in my head. As of now, I can picture two scenes really clearly, and that's enough to build a long fic or even a long one shot out of. (I also did this with There's Hope Out the Window)

The first scene is the one you're about to read. The second scene is George waking up in the hospital with Dream next to him, calmly explaining he had to have emergency surgery, and their baby is too little and might not make it. Lots of Drama. The idea of one of those fireplace blowy things that looks like an accordion came to me and George feeling like someone used one of those and blew love into him until he was sick with it -- that's how much he immediately loves his baby. It's a boy. He has to stay in NICU for weeks and the drama will unfold from there.

[dreamcatcherrs]

what makes them blush; mcyt x reader

+ fluff hours!

dream:

it's pretty hard to make him blush - even if you were the biggest flirt, you wouldn't be able to make him blush

he blushes the easiest by losing in a game or thinking about you in a *cough* not so family-friendly way

george:

george blushes easily, I think we'd all be able to guess that

small touches or gestures are the things that make him blush the most, though

like giving him food during a stream because he forgot to eat

sapnap:

sapnap blushes easily depending on how far into the relationship you are

the first month he blushes at literally everything - after 6 it's not so bad anymore

he blushes easily at physical touch when you're the one initiating it

badboyhalo:

bad isn't the one who is easiest to get to blush, despite what you'd think

when you get really flirty and touchy with him, though, he gets very blushy

he might flirt easily with you when it's as a joke, but when it gets serious, he's all blush and stutters

technoblade:

he's a pretty easy blusher, he's just very very good at hiding it from you

but trust me, when you run your fingers along his arm or twirl them around in his hair, he is burning up from the inside

good luck getting him to admit he's ever blushed before, though

wilbur soot:

like dream, I don't think it's easy to make wilbur blush just by flirting or using your words, but rather whenever he does something himself that reminds him of how in deep he is with you

getting caught up in just looking at you, for so long that he loses focus on the rest of the world makes him blush hard

jschlatt:

schlatt would seem like the hardest one to get to blush, but he actually isn't

it's pretty simple - he pushes love and affection away, but when it's impossible to avoid, he has no other choice

tell this man that you love him and throw all of your love and affection in his face, he'll be blushing in no time

corpse husband:

it can be easy to make him blush, surprisingly

compliments and praises - like saying how hard-working he is, or complimenting his appearance - is something that can make him very flustered

he knows that no matter how many times he denies it, you'll keep telling him that, and he'll continue to blush every time

karl jacobs:

we all know it's easy to make this man blush, especially when it's you

it's kinda hard to explain, but whenever he gets the feeling and realisation of how much he loves you - that's what makes him blush

like seeing you in his hoodie or doing something that he finds adorable will get him excited and blushy in no time

skeppy:

it is a piece of cake to get him to blush

all you have to do is literally just love him, and he'll be blushing💀

and he literally hates it because everyone teases him for it - even you

fundy:

getting fundy to blush literally just depends on his mood

he could wake up feeling super confident and just tease the shit out of you the whole day

or he could just be sitting there and just looking at you would make him blush

quackity:

alex is another pretty easy target, but he puts up a good fight

because most of the time he'd be the one trying to make you blush, definitely by using his jokes!

but when you're being very straight-forward with what you want and putting how much you love him into words, his face is RED

punz:

almost impossible, only because he is so cocky and confident that he can make you flustered just by existing and I mean is he wrong

I can't really see what would make him blush? only that he'd be taken aback if you didn't blush at all by all of his teasing, but that's all, really

awesamdude:

it's a back and forth kinda thing - one day he's making you blush, the next you're making him blush, etc.

he can get a little shy around you sometimes, and that's when you should try to make your move

flirt with him, touch him, call him sweet names - he will be a blushing mess

slimecicle:

it's hard to get him to blush - you have to try really hard if you want to succeed, is all I can say

he's usually the one making others blush, not the other way around

but, if you wanna give it a try, he is an easy target when in the middle of deep conversations past midnight - hit him with that poetry-type shit and there's a chance he might blush

eret:

the day you catch eret blushing is… well, never

it's damn near impossible to get him to blush

with that flirting demeanour he has and that deep ass voice? honey, he knows there's no chance you'll even try to make him blush

and if you did, he'd just laugh it off and tease you back for trying to get him to blush, but failing

foolish:

you can never tell when this man is blushing, cause he literally always covers it up with giggles

he laughs whenever he feels flustered and that's usually enough to cover it up, so it's great for his advantage

what gets him is receiving a lot of praise and being spoiled a lot with gifts

jack manifold:

he doesn't blush from a lot of things, but there is one easy thing you can do to get him to blush

and that is simply just flirting with him

he'll start feeling more and more flustered the longer you keep it going, and it's something he's gonna hate being teased for later

tommy:

BIG MAN NEVER BLUSHES

nah, jk, it's easy to make him blush - that is if you're a very blunt person and can go to extreme lengths to tease him

then you'll have him flustered and speechless in no time, as crazy as that sounds

tubbo:

it's pretty easy to make tubbo blush despite the amount of times we've seen him flirt with ranboo👀

and that's because he's pretty shy with the whole "being in a relationship" thing, though don't get me wrong, he'd still flirt with you

doing kind, crafty things for him, like making a flower crown for him, specifically with a flower he said he liked once - that makes him blush

ranboo:

ranboo can have his moments where it's easy for him to blush, but he's pretty good at talking/teasing back with you, so it's not super common

he blushes easily at any form of physical contact, especially when in a new relationship or only in the "crush" stages

[k3rm1e]

I just had this idea, what if Ranboo and reader are besties. However, since Tommy is jealous jelousinnit of Ranboo for “stealing” Tubbo, he “steals” reader in turn and they too become platonically married.

Maybe after Ranboo and Tubbo learn of the Tommy and reader’s marriage, Ranboo and Tommy are now “competing” for time with Tubbo and reader. Meanwhile reader and Tubbo are just laughing watching this play out? <3

dvwefnowef i love this idea! i hope i did it justice <3

cw:cursing 

tommy vs ranboo:

  “hello tubbo! tubbo. tubzo.”  tommy yelled again and again, trying to get tubbo’s attention.

  tommy continued continued yelling his name for a response. pitying the poor boy, you responded “hi tommy.”

  “oh. hello.” tommy made his minecraft character walk over to you. “what is tubbo doing?”

  “uh, he’s arguing with ranboo? about something somewhat important, i presume.”

  “lore married, those two are. strange, innit?” tommy turned his character to look more directly at yours. the eyebrows on the character made him look intimidating, especially with the way he stared at you.

  “yeah. yes. strange. lore married.” the conversation had ended from there, with an awkward silence. after a while tubbo and ranboo had finally stopped fighting.

  it had been a few days since your interaction with tommy. everything had been pretty normal, just hanging out with ranboo and tubbo. helping oversee the building of the mansion. that was, until tommy came and talked to you.

  “uh, hello tommy.”

  “hey. i’m live right now. what are you doing?”

  “uh, nothing really. mainly have been overseeing the build of ranboo and tubbo’s mansion.”

  “close, the two of you are?”

  “yep. i know him irl so i would say, yeah, we’re pretty close.” this was where you started to get a bit questioning.  sure, you had spoken to tommy before, but you two weren’t necessarily close.

  “hey, y’know what i think.” he turned his character to stare at you.

  “no, what do you think tommy?”

  “let’s be friends.”

  tommy proceeded to drag you around the server, getting to know you better. you two had run around quite a bit, and ended up near the badlands. tommy, of course, decided to bring you into his mischief.

  “ok, when bad joins vc, after i say hello you have to say ‘say FUCK badboyhalo’ to him.”

  “doesn’t bad always yell language at everyone? shouldn’t i probably not do that?” you had just recently gotten added to the server and even doing certain things for bits made you nervous.

  “you’ll be fine. now get ready.” once bad joined the vc, tommy yelled “HELLO BADBOYHALO.”

  “well, hello to the two of you. how are you both doing?”

  without taking the time to answer you yelled, “BADBOYHALO SAY FUCK!”

  tommy immediately began laughing. bad’s character was running around and you could hear him stuttering until finally shouting “LANGUAGE!”

  “oh come on, bbh. it just adds more impacts to what you’re saying. imagine you were saying ‘i hate that muffinhead skeppy so much’. isn’t it much more impactful when you say ‘i hate that BITCH skeppy so FUCKING much!’?” even though you couldn’t see his facecam, you could tell how much he was smirking.

  “LANGUAGE TOMMY!” bad was screaming and from his voice he seemed to be fuming.

  catching onto what tommy was planning, you started for him, “seriously bad,  what do you have against saying a few curse words? FUCK, SHIT, BITCH, ASS, PUSSY.” you and tommy both began screaming curse words at bad until you heard him scream and leave the vc.

  and for the next few weeks, that was how it went. you two caused chaos all across the server, getting on everyone’s nerves. phil had quickly deemed you ‘chaos gremlins sent to drive him even further into his old age’. at least kristen appreciated the two of you.

  “phil, what are taxes?” tommy had asked phil.

  after hearing him mutter a quick “jesus christ…”, he gave tommy an answer, “pretty much shit you have to pay because the government said to.”

  “and is there any way to pay less taxes? y’know, cheat the system?” tommy was quickly driving phil to old age.

  “well, marriage gives you tax benefits.”

  “ooo!” tommy turned his minecraft character towards you, “marry me! for tax benefits!”

  and so there was a new platonically married couple on the server.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ranboo had noticed your lack of presence. instead of showing up in his streams, you were usually doing something with tommy. the two of you had even gotten married, the same way he and tubbo had. jealousy, even when irrational, was still a very real and present thing.

  which is what led him to be standing outside your minecraft house, waiting for you to stop talking to tommy for a second and answer his in chat messages. for five whole minutes, he had to deal with chat clowning on him. “chat, i have never been replaced. they simply cannot replace me. there is no way to get rid of me.”

  “you’re like mold!” tubbo had joined ranboo’s vc. his energy heavily contrasted the other’s.

  “...tubbo, how am i like mold?”

  “you’re just constantly growing on people! holding on for dear life until an exterminator is called! do i need to call an exterminator on you?”

  “...no thank you, tubbo.”

  finally, you and tommy had joined vc. “hello ranboo!”

  “hello! what took so long?” the agitation in his voice was barely detectable.

  “oh, tommy here was being pissy. didn’t want to leave vc2.”

  “so tommy was stopping you from talking to your friends?” ranboo clicked his tongue and jokingly said, “seems a bit, uh well, toxic, to me.”

  tommy quickly erupted into screams. “HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF BEING A TOXIC FRIEND?”

  “I WASN’T ACCUSING YOU OF ANYTHING, WAS JUST STATING MY OPINION!” ranboo had started screaming back.

  “IF YOU WANNA SEE TOXIC, I’LL SHOW YOU TOXIC RANBOO.” you could distantly hear an 8 bit version of toxic by britney spears playing from tubbos mic.

  “OH SHUT UP TOMMY, PLEASE, I’VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THEM FOR LONGER.”

  “BITCH, PLEASE. JUST BECUASE YOU’VE KNOWN THEM LONGER DOES MAKE YOU BETTER FRIENDS. WE’RE MARRIED, WE ARE.”

  and from there, the screaming continued. In-game chat, you could see tubbo telling you to join vc6.

  “crazy, that lot is.”

  “agreed.”

thank you for waiting! i’m sorry this took so long, i’ve been visiting family for easter and haven’t really been able to write. i hope you enjoyed this, though! <3

❝PRIZED POSSESSION❞ (c!dream / reader)

↷ DESC. dream gets his hands on his prized possession: you. (1.4k words)

↷ CW. yandere themes, kidnapping, swearing.

↷ NOTE. bones uploading two days in a row?? what???

↷ MASTERLIST.

   dream hated attachments. ever since tommy's come on his server, bringing along friends and connections with him. to win it all, he had to lose it all. he cut off all of his attachments, as to not be controlled by the people who wanted to harm him.

   that's what made it so easy to control tommy: his attachments. the discs. dream never cared for the discs, only for power and control. he craved it as if it was the air he breathed, the food he ate. he needed it, desperately.

   tommy had attachments. he had connections with people and items and so did everyone else. everyone had something, or someone, they cared for. that's what made them so gullible to dream; he didn't care whether he hurt their feelings, they didn't matter to him. nothing matter to him.

   except for one thing; or, rather, person. [name]. out of everyone in the server, out of every item dream has ever had, [name[ has been the only one to grow on him. the one thing he couldn't replace. the one person who he couldn't leave behind, no matter what you said or did.

   but you left him behind. oh, you left him in the dust. you chose tommy and tubbo over him. how could you choose tommy and tubbo over him? he felt his blood boiling at just the thought of it, of how you left him behind. he gave you everything; protection, armor, food, weapons - that's how you repay him?

   you wouldn't be away from him for soon though. he had a plan. you'd be his once again. well, you'd be with him again. you've always been his. ever since he first laid eyes on you, ever since you first wandered your way into his grounds. everything in the land was his, including you.

   he pushed himself off of the wall he was leaning against, images of you flashing through his mind. you've always been so pretty to him. so delicate, so vulnerable. he wonders how easily a knife would penetrate your skin or how long it would take until you broke.

   his boots clacked against the black stone floor, the chilliness of the room sending a shiver down his spine. he walked over to the hallway of attachments, the attachments he'd soon use to control the server once more. everything would be in his control again. no new countries, no annoying pests, no one trying to overthrow him; it'd be him at the throne where he rightfully belonged.

   the animals at the end of the hall, henry and friend, moo'd and bleated as he walked down. he didn't spare them a single glance, instead looking over at the black stone near the end of the hallway. he pulled out a button from his pocket, sticking it on the wall.

   he pressed it, the black stone shifting to the side. inside of the secret room was a cage. it had iron bars with a decent amount of space, the iron bars being an extra precaution just in case. inside of the iron bars held a few wool carpets, however not much of anything else.

   soon you'd be down here - in a cage specially prepared for you by dream. he grinned, knowing that once you're here, you'd never be able to leave. he could have put you in a small cell, as he's going to do with skeppy, but you're so much more important.

   you're his. his little pet, one that he'd keep by his side. he owned you and he'd make sure that you knew that, if you didn't already. he walked out of the small room, shutting the secret door behind him. all in due time you'd be with him forever.

   he walked back to the main room, staring ahead at the portal. the dim glow of purple slowly pulled him in, taking one last look at the discs on the blocks of gold. he'd be in control again soon. very soon.

   tommy ran through the fields of the dream smp, holding one of your items. "catch me if you can, dickhead!" he shouted, grinning. you groaned, yelling at him to give you back your stuff. he ran into his house, about to go into the tunnels, before a chest caught his eye.

   "did you put this here, [name]?" he asked, his brows knitting together as you finally came inside. you tilted your head quizzically at him, glancing back at the chest. "the chest? no, i didn't put that there. what's inside?"

   he shrugged before opening it up, a book catching his eye. he didn't mind the compass, instead opening up the book. he murmured as he read through it. the furious expression crossing his face. "not that green bastard! are you fuckin' kidding me!?" he exclaimed, taking out the compass.

   'your discs' it was titled, the blond pausing to stare at it. this was the chance to finally get his discs back from dream. he could finally get them back. you opened your mouth to speak but was stopped as tommy grabbed your shoulders. "we can get my discs back, [name]! this is - this is our chance! where's tubbo!? we need him now!"

   confused, you stammered out an explanation that you didn't know where tubbo was. he swore, yelling out for the goat hybrid. what was even happening? "toms, what's even happening? why do we need tubbo?" you asked, not being able to hear him through his rushed answer earlier.

   "we can get my discs back [name]! my fuckin' discs! oh my god, we need to prepare, we need to get all of our best items together!" and that's what you three would soon do. you collected the best weapons, items, tools, potions, armor you all could find. you returned home late that night, sighing as you flopped down on the bed.

   you huffed, turning on your back to stare up at the ceiling. you'd fight dream tomorrow with tommy and tubbo. the man you used to side with. before he became a manipulative tyrant, he was one of your best friends, someone you cared dearly for. however, as time progressed, he soon fell into a hole you couldn't drag him out of.

   as you were laying down, the darkness of your home making you feel relaxed, you failed to notice the smile face mask watching you from the corner of your room. he smirked, coming close, watching as your face morphed into one of fear.

   you backed away on your bed, screaming. "how - how did you get in here!? what are you doing here!?" you cried, your eyes wide with fear. dream only chuckled, shaking his head. "you've always been so dumb, sweetheart. it's okay, you won't have to think for yourself soon."

   with that, he hit you with the hilt of his sword, your vision darkening seconds later.

   the first thing you saw was obsidian. you were surrounded by it, the dark purple hurting your eyes. you frantically looked around, scared as to where you were. why was dream in your house? millions of questions raced through your mind, looking through the metal bars to see the man himself: dream. 

   he was leaning against the wall, as if he was bored. your voice caught in your throat, not a sound making its way past. the masked man looked up, meeting your eyes as he pushed himself off the wall. "oh look, you're awake. finally. i was started to get impatient." he told you, coming up the iron bars.

   you backed away out of instinct, fear present in your expression. "oh, c'mon now, no need to be so scared of me. i haven't done anything too bad to you yet, right?" you swallowed, continuing to back away from the man. he sighed, shaking his head. "c'mon, speak; do anything!"

   you could feel your hands trembling, your back nearly pressed against the cold wall. "why am i here?" you stammered, confused and scared. you just wanted to go home. your head swirled with questions, yet made you dizzy. dream stayed silent for a few moments before he tilted is head, humming.

   "because you're mine, obviously. i had to protect you, right? so i brought you to my lair, i guess you'd call it. you'll get used to it eventually." he brushed you off, uncaring about the way your eyes drowned in terror or how you could hardly speak out of utter fear.

   you stared at the man in horror; how could he be so nonchalant? you shook your head, further backing away from the iron bars. "no, no, please, i want to go home!" you pleaded, your voice laced with terror. dream only hummed in response, gripping the iron bars as he leaned in close.

   "get used to it, sweetheart. you're never leaving."

Why the dream smp members love you..

╚═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╝

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝗼𝗼𝐭

You’d find yourself alone one day

First getting worried why Wil had suddenly disappeared

But he was just at his office all day

Tommy had kept him late for a vlog and a stream

When he’s get home he would find you slumped on the couch

Worried for his life

“Love? What are you doing awake, it’s a little late don’t you think?”

His voice was so gentle and kind

Then a figure of fury would just continuously hit his arm

“You scared the shit out of me! I thought I lost you, or maybe a random anti kidnapped you on the street!”

He laughed at the idea of someone just picking his 6’5 Lima bean self

“Your laughing at my misery? I thought you were this perfect balled up angle but no!”

He just continued holding you close and kissing the top of your forehead

“Want to know why I love you?”

You shook your head at first just wanting to hold him close

“Because you always seem to come up with the strangest things. In the end they all turn out with you just being worried!”

There you are in his arms just straight up confused

“This has to do with anything because?”

“Because you care about me! I love you, but love do you think anybody could actually pick me up?”

“Shut up my tall Lima bean.”

I love this man sm-

𝐍𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐮

You would just be in one of those depressing days

Like the ones where your in such a big slump

She would easily notice your lack of motivation for life

At first she thought that maybe just a little more sleep while she streams would do the trick

Long story short

It didn’t

So she would just cradle you and softly just play with your hair as you let out your whole brain

“How was your stream?”

This women would just sit there with you in her arms

Shocked

“No stop this isn’t time to worry about me!”

You’d just shake your head forcing her to tell you all about it

And when I say force I mean small tickles with the energy you somehow mustered up

“It wasn’t much, just with Jack and media share. Chats relentless at times!” She’d laugh laying down on your chest

You both would just be cuddled up

“Stop it, I love you.”

It would just be out of nowhere and you’d be a little shocked at first

“My love, you have no reason to.”

Her mouth would just be agape

Those words didn’t just come out of your mouth

“Stop it. Your making me feel better even tho I’m supposed to be taking care of you!”

The rest of that evening/night would

Include takeout and cuddles with cat

𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐇𝐐

You two would be messing around in the kitchen

Aprons covered with flour and lettuce in your hair

Obviously streaming the whole fiasco

It started out with a “Cooking contest with my lover!”

Oh dear that went completely south

Gordon Ramsey would be disgusted

“You hate me!”

You both would be playfully arguing

But the sound of the word “hate” coming out of your mouth

Directed at him especially

It just made him upset for no reason

Maybe because the idea of you not being able to stand him

Just hurts him

The mere concept of a reality where he wouldn’t love you with all his heart

The both of you tragic enemy’s in a downfall of a lover story

Taylor swift mixed with Demi Lavato breakup song

“Wait- what?”

The whole mood would dimmer down

You’d just be standing infront of each other, a ghost of a laugh on your face

“I could never hate you”

You would look down to the messy floor upset with yourself

“I didn’t mean it that way Mi amour”

He would walk up to you and bring you into a hug

And whoever was taller would put their chin ontop of the others head

“I could give you a million reasons why that statements false”

He had a list

“Number one.. You manage to make me smile when I’m at my toughest break”

“Number two, you make sure that we don’t starve and become homeless”

“Three, nobody can give cuddles like you”

“Four.. tiger loves you more then he loves me”

It would go on and on until you think the chat had enough

They wanted more.

The spam oh my the spam..

‘THIS IS LOVE’ ‘DAMN MAKING ME FEEL SINGLE ASF’ ‘THEYRE IN LOVE YOUR HONOR”

“I love you alright” “how could you not.”

𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐲

Fox boy wants love

It was cold outside and he had gotten finished with lore plans

Ironic enough he just wanted to sleep

With you in his arms

When he found you all he could think of was

‘love. I demand your affection’

You smiled seeing him approach you

Opening your arms so he could melt into your arms

“Hun, why is there a maid outfit sitting on the counter?”

That question threw him off guard.

All he wanted was to just knock out peacefully

But he forgot about the newest sub goal

“I mean I would wear it myself, but it’s not my size. We’ll have to get it tailored”

He laughed pulling you just closer

Thankful that you’re just joking about it instead of questioning

“No id like to keep it for myself really.”

“Even the fur suite?”

He blushed trying to hide his face

The things chat made him buy

And obviously you would see it too

“No you can keep that one for yourself.”

“Sure, we can be furries together.”

You were lying tho

The both of you would burn it eventually

“Why do you make me love you so much?”

“I don’t know you tell me”

The millions of things that just raced through his head at that moment

“You never judge me for starters”

That made your eyes drop

Grabbing his face gently making sure that you continue eye contact

“Why would I ever have to judge you?”

His heart melted

Head over heels for you

I’m sorry I’m not very acquainted with Fundys streams as much, so If anything’s inaccurate? Tell me

𝐒𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐲

This man loved pranks and trolling people

So he’d find an s/o who was like him

He made sure that you’d love bad as much as he loves you

Mainly because it’s funny seeing how much muffin man trusts you

Then you just hit him with a deez nuts joke

Skeppy would be laughing his ass off kissing your forehead

Bad shouting language

“IM SORRY HE PUT ME UP TO IT BAD”

“I DID NO SUCH THING!”

“LIAR!”

Loud. Chaotic I swear.

But that would be the fun part of your relationship

Until it comes up to the point you start pulling little tricks on each other

A Dono popped on through while you were playing bedwars

‘You should prank Skeppy irl, it’d be funny”

You thought about it

I mean who would trust chat.. so truthful all the time

So you agreed looking at Spifey and Vurb for help

So you had the idea of telling him your dying

Yeah no scrap that idea, you yelled at spifey for that one

A better idea is that you were leaving to another country or something

But obviously never trust vurb

He told Skeppy everything

So Skeppy tried to get you before you could get him

So he was gonna trick you ‘I’m leaving you for badboyhalo’

Yeah don’t trust bad either

He told you everything

So you both were on the path of just setting each other up

Why?

For the content

The day finally happened and “coincidentally” you both had big news

“N/n I’m breaking up with you I love bad.”

“Zak I’m moving to Spain.”

“What?”

You both knew what the other was planning, so obviously played along with it

“Your leaving?”

“Your breaking up with me for someone else..?”

He couldn’t look at you, his heart shattering as tears formed at the brim of your eyes

You were laughing your ass off internally

“You know, i was just joking. Maybe I’ll actually move since you clearly don’t want me.”

His heart RACED.

Thousands of apologies and missed around your face

“I’m sorry I’m sorry I was just joking! It was all a prank!”

Honestly you didn’t have the heart to continue the lie

“I know, bad told me. I was just playing along.”

The both of you looked at each other and how absurd this was and started laughing

“I love that you understand me”

“Oh please you dummy, I know you’d never leave me for bad”

“How do you know that?”

“You would?”

𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐁𝗼𝐲𝐇𝐚𝐥𝗼

You think his love for muffins were strictly for his persona?

Nope, false information

He actually really liked them, had them for breakfast a lot

At first in your relationship when you heard he was good with knives

You were terrified

But you actually started dating and becoming friends

How many times can he prove you wrong?

So you were making muffins one night with each other

Vintage love songs playing on the speaker

Rat was just laying down on her bed sleeping peacefully

“How much longer till they’re finished?”

Patience wasn’t your best quality

Neither was his but that’s even better

“I think they should be done by now, go check please.”

He’s a respectful little muffin

You didn’t quite think tho

That was your first mistake

You pulled the tray out of the oven, sweet smell of the blueberry muffins

And the sound of your Loud shriek

Yeah you forgot the oven mitt

Running to rush your hand under cold water

Bads protective side burst through and made sure to do the correct treatment

He had some burn incidents himself

And he swore to himself you won’t get hurt again

“Are the muffins okay?”

He deadpanned as that was your only question

Even tho your eyes were dripping tears

Nono the muffins came first

“They’re okay! But are you?”

ITS 2:52 AM AND IM TIRED

You just nodded smiling through the pain as he wrapped his arms around you

“My muffin you know I love you right”

“Why so?” You desired to tease him

“You always manage to make the room brighter which I adore”

I wrote this late at night and I’m tired but I loved this. Sorry if it’s strange or weird in a way?

As always request or ask anything! And ask if you want to be on a taglist.

[sapphire-knight]

The streams tried to make us believe that being neutral to the egg is the right reaction, but I don't think it is. I think we are getting lied to.

I think neutrals are also getting manipulated, they are just not aware about this.

Let me explain

You guys probably remember Tommy, in the few streams he was involved with the egg, saying that it "Either makes you love it or hate it".

I simply don't believe it, because it would be a truly faulty logic. Why would the egg spontaniusly make anyone hate itself? The only reason I could see for that is that it's a technique to keep dangerous individuals away, so that they don't interfere with its plans.

But then, there are the neutrals

With the fact that Tommy, Techno and (if I remember well) Phil are neutrals, the idea of "Being neutral means being unaffected" quickly went around the fandom, but I think we are getting fooled.

Why would being neutral the "right" reaction?

In a realistic situation, seeing a gigantic parassitic plant with mind control powers growing over your home would not be a situation you can simply be "neutral" about.

The realistic reaction would be having strong negative feelings about it, wether they are hatred, fear, disgust or something like this, not neutrality, and those negative emotions would be felt even before touching it and getting affected in some way.

I'm taking Fundy here as an example because I'm the most familiar with his pov: in case you didn't know, Fundy is strongly against the egg, feeling disgust and hatred even by just looking at it, making sure to not touch it in any way.

Let's take another example, Puffy: if you didn't follow the vines plot from the start you probably won't know this, but at first Puffy was pro egg. She snapped out of it afterwards and now is strongly anti egg, and never touches it. If the "right reaction" is being neutral, that would mean that she is still under the egg's effect, but why would the egg drive away one of his own servants?

I'm taking a third example, to drive home the concept: Sam. He was an anti egg from the start, last one of the badlands to get affected in any way by the egg. He was locked in an obsidian box near the egg but, when he was rescued, he wasn't pro egg. He was a neutral. If he had completly resisted the influence he would have still kept his own mentality, and yet he became a neutral.

How is any of the things we saw an indication of the fact that Neutrality is Immunity?

Well, nowhere. The neutral we saw most involved is Tommy, and Tommy even brought a piece of the egg inside his hotel as a sign of his neutrality in the conflict. Which is a terrible idea.

I am not excluding that the egg can use negative emotions to manipulate people, let's look at Tubbo: the egg purposefully makes him cry, makes him scared. This could be either to drive him away or to make him one of his servants by crushing him with fear, but with the apparent aggressivness of Tubbo's reaction, I tend to believe the first option.

This is more speculative, but the fact that there have been strong parallelisms between the Egg and Dreamons further drives home this connection, since the two Dreamon Hunters that have come in contact with it had strong bad reactions, not neutral ones.

And one last thing that sells this theory for me, is Dream.

Still, if you guys weren't familiar with the vines plot before Season 3 you probably don't know this, but Dream is also an anti egg. He was showed the egg time ago, when it still was weaker and smaller, to put it in the timeline, we where when Sam was building the prison.

Now Dream is, undoubtedly, one of the most powerful people on the entire server, with a supposed knowledge about basically everything about this land and a godlike strenght that should make him fearless, and yet he was worried and slightly scared of the egg.

He never came in actual contact with it, he never touched it, and yet he was creeped out by it, understanding that that things is dangerous. Because oh lord, it is

So, in a situation like this and with all that happened, how would neutrality be the reaction of unaffected or immune people?

Extra: this might sound weird but I think the two people less affected by the egg right now would be Dream and Fundy.

I made a little mental scale based on the reactions people had, and I found myself placing Fundy and Dream on the lower steps of this staircase, with Puffy as third and Tubbo as fourth;

While of the pro Skeppy and Ant are the ones on the higher part, Bad is a lower mostly because of what we saw when Quackity confronted him: Bad still has his free will and could probably stop working for the egg, but he keeps on doing so because Skeppy is fully controlled by it.

💜🖤~(Sweet)Yan!BBH x F!Reader Headcannons~🖤💜

So this one is gonna be pretty fluffy... and there's a reason for that...

It's mainly because when I'm finished with my Yandere Eggpire BBH... I won't be as fluffy >:)

Also, I tried a new way of writing headcannons, let me know if you like this version the best!

Requested by: A person that I say YES to a lot

TW: Stalking, obsessive behavior, isolation, kidnapping, drugs.

Y/N's POV

When BBH first saw you, it was at Skeppy's house.

You had come over to Skeppy's house to have tea with him as you talked about the server's issues and conflicts, when a knock came from the door.

Skeppy answered it, and it happened to be Bad. You were excited to finally meet him, since you had never talked to your best friend's best friend.

When you went up to greet him, the demon/human hybrid had blushed and stuttered as you asked him questions about himself and Skeppy, giggling every now and then.

You had found him to be quite the adorable fellow, and definitely not the weird, creepy type like the other half of the server.

You had started to get suspicious of him though when he would visit you daily.

He would bring you flowers, freshly baked muffins, weapons... basically anything you needed and more.

You loved it, but why was he doing this? Why was he being so kind to you and.... visiting you so much?

Why did it seem like he was secretly obsessed with you?

BadBoyHalo's POV

He loved it when you smiled. It was basically his favorite thing about you; your smile.

When he had met you that day at Skeppy's house, he didn't realize at that moment that you where the most cutest, prettiest, muffinhead on the entire planet. But after some conversation and small talk, he knew that you where his.

However, there was a problem. You didn't seem to feel the same way about him.

Oh well, he'll talk to you every day if it means you'll love him as much as he loves you.

And that's exactly what he did. He visited you everyday and brought you something. Whether it be food, weapons, material, anything he loved to see that smile on your face as he walked into your house handing you the gift and asking if he could stay awhile.

Bad loved to make you happy. That's why the day he finally decided to kidnap you, he was crushed by how sad you where.

This wasn't supposed to happen. You were supposed to love him by now and enjoy the fact that he had kidnapped brought you home with him. Couldn't you just understand that this was for your own protection and good?

He absolutely hates it when you try to fight back. He doesn't want to tie you up but he knows he has no choice. He just can't stand the look on your face once you realize that you're not going anywhere, it just breaks his heart.

Please, please, please just eat. Don't make him have to shove the muffin or whatever you're eating into your mouth. He really doesn't want you to choke by accident.

And why exactly are you calling for Skeppy? You know that he's in on it too, right?

Okay, can you please just go to bed and not bang on the door all night? Bad's already doing you a service of not tying you up, don't make him have to chain you to the bed and sedate you every night.

You like the muffins? You do?! Well hopefully you're not lying because you're gonna have muffins whether you like them or not.

Overall, BBH isn't that concerned that you'll leave him. After all, he's pretty sure you're comfortable right where you are <3~
