#Techno cannot keep a secret

[llitchilitchi]

so I have a theory on how c!Dream's prison stay was supposed to go

(I am dropping the c! because I'm lazy but again. all DSMP)

after the Staged Finale, Dream was thrown into Pandora's Vault - the prison was at hand, the timing absolutely perfect for him to be just locked up in the deepest pits of hell and rot. this severed him from Punz, who was his closest ally, rendering their relationship to a transaction rather than actual friendship and close collaboration.

such severance was not necessary with Ranboo - mostly because Ranboo, as his amnesiac self, never sided with Dream, all while Enderboo kept their friendship secret. he was then to serve as Dream's messenger: get him news of the happenings on the server while also, possibly, delivering Dream's messages out to the world.

we know that Dream had a favour to cash in with Techno - a favour he was 'keeping for later' (by which point we can guess that Dream was working on the Staged Finale around that time already)

this is where we get to speculative territory: it is then possible that, with Enderboo serving as messenger, after a sufficient enough time has passed Dream would have asked him to deliver a message to Techno. he'd ask to cash in his favour while passing along a message that contained the coordinates of their first meeting where Dream had hidden the chest with all Techno needs to break him out of prison.

this did not happen, however, since Ranboo asked not to be allowed in anymore and also that whole thing with torture happened along with it. we're left to guess how much of what we did see was actually part of the plan. Dream sent a message to Ranboo through Sapnap - was it to wake him up? a call for information, for help? a sign to move the plan along? was the TNT on the roof an unfortunate 'I hear you, I hear you but I cannot reach you, but I hear you' or was it an act of disobedience, a moment of 'enough is enough, and if I cannot come in through the front door I will make my own'? or was the TNT part of the plan all along? did Dream ask Enderboo to keep an eye out on the server so that when someone on their last life comes to prison he sets off the TNT, trapping the person in with Dream so that Dream may prove he has the book to the server? or was it an unfortunate accident?

(on a slightly related note, we saw Ranboo at the Red Banquet in strange clothes: was that him, in disguise, spying as Enderboo so that he may tell Dream what happened? (or if we go a bit more further with this: was Enderboo tasked with keeping an eye on particular people Dream holds dear? was Enderboo there to watch over George or someone else?))

just how Much of the plan went south, and how much of it are we still unaware of?

Hazbin Hotel Headcanons:D

That I collected through the internet and now have and absolutely adore. Feel free to add yours:)

Warning for cannibalism and possible spoilers. Enjoy:)

Alastor

1) Alastor rather eats meat of his possible victims than organs. He finds them edible, but just doesn’t like it.

2) Alastor never shares his food. And even when/if he is cooking something for others, he will cook the same food in the separate bowl just for himself.

3) Even if Alastor fell in love he would never(or really unlikely) realise that. Possibly because his own ego and beliefs.

4) Alastor sometimes fantasises about him being executed rather than his own original death. His favourites so far: hanging and electric chair.

5) Alastor would have a love/hate relationship with Will Wood’s music(yes.) just because he despises and underastimates all modern music.

6) Alastor has literal piles of old(and sometimes broken)radios.

7) Alastor hates discussing love and relationships, if they’re not about breaks up, while Rosie adores talking about them.

8) Sometimes Alastor cannot control his shadow. In terms of where it goes and what it does. So yeah, sometimes he walks around without shadow.

Rosie

1) The stuff Rosie proposed to Charlie when they met was prepared by herself.

Also I think Rosie can cook anything(aside from bones perhaps). She knows a lot of recipes about how to cook organs, different types of seasonings, etc.

2) Rosie has Belgic roots. Or French. I feel like she speaks French and maybe Italian or something. I haven’t decided.

3) Rosie only likes to drink dry semi-sweet wine among the alcohol beverages.

4) If Rosie would ever open a fashion business, all her clothes would be with embroidery. She loves embroidery and is pretty good at making it.

The Vees

1) Vox has a love/hate relationship with an electro swing. He likes it, but also “hates” it just because Alastor also likes it. He also likes dubstep and techno genres.

2) Valentino’s afraid of tickling.

3) Val’s also absolutely cannot sleep with the lights turn on, because he’s a moth.

4) Vox was absolutely horrified when he got to Hell and realised that he’s a fucking TV. If there wasn’t a constant danger of getting killed, he would probably sit in the corner of some building in shock.

5) Velvete uses Vox as powerbank.

6) Valentino’s eyesight got worse especially after he realised that he can use Vox’s head when he’s asleep, so now he kinda watches whatever he wants on his head when he’s bored.

7) And also Val and Velvete play the console using Vox(ye, the comic:))

8) In earlier days Vox was absolutely disgusted by someone touching his screen(in first days(look up #4) himself included), but as the time went and also the upgrade, change in themes, he kinda suppressed this disgust.

9) Velvete likes strawberry in chocolate.

10) Vox can draw decently, he just usually doesn’t have time and much imagination to do so.

11) Also Vox has a bad habit of tearing paper to keep his hands busy. By that I mean any paper. So yeah. There were some accidents.

Residents of the Hotel

1) Residents of the Hotel bump into Nifty at least two time per day.

2) Sir Pentious hates stairs.

3) One of the reasons why Husk hates his form is because he cant stop throwing off hairballs.

4) Angel can keep important secrets.

5) Nifty and Charlie both likes those bright and colourful plasters.

6) Vaggie is allergic to citruses(lightly but still).

7) Cherri makes her coffee with energy drinks. Tastes awful, but at least she’s full of energy to kick someone’s ass.

8) Husk knows a lot of card games and also taught the Eggbois how to play couple of them so they’d stop bothering him so much.

9) When he was alive, Husk used to travel and move from one country to another quite often.

10) Sir Pentious when he has a shower, always takes his Eggbois with himself.

11) The reason why Sir Pentious’ ship was covered with plasters was because his Eggbois thought they would actually heal it.

12) Lucifer will never admit that process of making ducks stopped bringing him as much happiness as it used to. But after seven years of just making them, trying to keep his mind off his problems, it just became a routine.

13) One of the reasons why Lilith decided to “disappear” was because at night Lucifer constantly stepped on his ducks and then screamed and cried and apologised to them, making it harder to sleep.

14) Charlie used to make little theatre shows with her toys when she was younger.

15) When Vaggie and Charlie’s relationship got a little more established, they had a whole trip through rings of Hell.

16) Lucifer has a handmade duck copy of every person that he met. He made the most absurd one for Alastor, of course

17) Angel is scared of swallowing bubblegum, because he genuinely believes that his gut will glue together if he does so.

18) Vaggie can’t stand sleeping covered.

Other Overlords

1) Zestial is a tea nerd. I think he would actually do those Chinese ceremonies and stuff. It’s like… the more he appreciates you, the more effort he would put into tea x)

2) Carmilla was(and maybe is?) a big fan of ballet and took classes when she was alive.

Other

1) Adam would love Beetlejuice. In any form, cartoon one, film, musical… He would be a fan.

2) Adam hates waking up at the morning and tells to “fuck off I’m a Gods fucking son” to anyone who tries to wake him up.

3) Adam hates tomatoes and will absolutely roast anyone who eats them when he’s near. Except for Lute.

4) When Heavens court plans to set up a party they usually don’t plan to invite Sera and St Peter.

5) Mimzy is the one who talks about her previous life more than anyone else, each time adding almost unrealistic details.

6) Adam calls his Exterminators group "tits" for because they are woman and there's a bird like that.

6)(this one is to Hell in general) I like to think that you don't die in Hell in a way that when you recieve a deadly wound your body just kinda... gets more regeneration, so you still feel pain untill the wound is healed, but you don't die. So when Exterminators stab sinners with angelic weapons, process of regeneration stops, which gives them opportunity to die.

7) Though Vox created his own special kind of dying for himself. When his screen gets badly damaged, he changes it, so same goes with his body. I think he has a folder somewhere with his personality.

Mafia fic anon in the flesh! (this is my main where I do not-so-fandom-related things, my alt for fic related things is elevens-shitty-library-ao3!)

Right now, I'm trying to get some plot things figured out, but currently have a first chapter I'm preparing to post sometime soon!!

The main storyline is that 13-year-old Tommy gets kidnapped by the Jester's Court Syndicate (Quackity's mafia) in order to gain leverage over both Techno (almost-chief of police) and Wilbur (rival mafia leader, though none of SBI knows, but Kristen does have a hand in it!!)

Wilbur is forced to turn to Schlatt (previous ally against big Q, but also a rival mafia boss) in order to try and get his brother back without raising any alarms among his family, but Schlatt has other plans.

Can Wilbur keep his secrets safe from his family while still protecting his brother? TUNE IN NEXT TIME-

no fr tho the brain rot is real and I seriously cannot wait to start posting it. Glad you're interested!!

Oooo I would read the fuck out of this- I need it -tones

SPOILERS FOR THE SECRET OF NIMH, A MOVIE THAT CAME OUT THE YEAR I WAS BORN SO IT IS VERY OLD AND I'M PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE WHO HASN'T SEEN IT BEFORE NOW:

They cut out the poisoning of the rose bush??

That's like...the ENTIRE POINT of the story! The rats get comfortable with their intelligence and forget that humans will always consider them a disposable problem in need of eradication! Like their sophistication and empathy is rewarded with DEATH, because the NIMH people (and humans in general) are horrible monsters who create affronts to God! The rats are Frankensteins and we cannot abide them! The experiments were a mistake! All of this was a cautionary tale!

And they cut it out. And replaced it with Mrs. Frisby using a magic necklace to gain wizard powers and move her stupid house.

Look. I get that in this adaptation, they decided to make the NIMH rats techno-wizards. That's fine. And you don't have to explain how the hell that works. In fact it is better if you don't. But only if the NIMH rats are the only ones with telekinetic powers. You can't give them inexplicable magical artifacts that give random mice the Force. I need SOMETHING to explain that. And there's nothing here.

This movie suffers from the Don Bluth Dilemma. Which is, fucking indescribably gorgeous animation, art direction, and shot composition, utterly comulent characters and story pacing, and shit attempts at humor. Nearly every movie he has ever made is that. And I don't understand why he had such difficulty with everything on the writing side. Hire someone who is good at writing, Don. This is a bizarre problem to keep having.

The ending should have been the evil NIMH rat refusing to leave the bush, and dying of the poison. All that nonsense about him sabotaging the house moving, and then immediately declaring himself Evil and attacking everyone, is confusing and stupid. And it wasn't in the book. You changed a thing and made it worse, and I have no idea why. Just adapt the book. The book was fine.

In the book they move her house and that's the end of it. Which is weird anyway. You're a mouse, Frisby. Dig a new hole on the other side of the rock and move the kid's bed into it. I fail to see what magical healing properties the cinder block has.

That's like the thing from the book and movie where being hyper-intelligent makes the rats feel bad for stealing electricity from the farmer. Like being injected with science drugs taught them to read English and also gain down-to-Earth Midwestern capitalistic sensibilities. You can make an argument defending that, but I'm not sure you should.

The Secret of NIMH is a beautiful movie, and its a solid B-tier. Until the last 10 minutes, when it craps out. There is no moral or point to any of this the way it ends, except "wouldn't it be cool if mice were tiny wizards?" Which...I mean...YES, but if you were aiming for that, lean into it. Because as a movie about wizard mice, there isn't enough of that and it sucks.

So I give it a C- overall. Beautiful, but totally shoots itself in the foot by being a pointlessly bad adaptation of the source material.

Like, the very last scene is the unfunny comic relief crow getting laid. A girl crow just shows up. That was a priority. But the gassing of the rose bush? Pfffft. Who needs that?

I don't understand you, Bluth. So close, but always so far...

[blfanfest]

Type found out that it was Than who room care of him instead of Techno.

Techno, you promised you wouldn't tell Type. How will Type take this revelation? Will he have a change of heart or continue to be kick out Tharn from their dorm?

OK fuck it I'll post it

C!Ranboo and the Tragedy of Belief

Note that I had an hour to write this so it may not be very cohesive.

Full thing under the readmore but tldr: c!ranboo is intwined so closely with the concept of faith and hope that it is impossible in dsmp lore to speak about one without speaking about the other.

Everything is obviously /rp, this is about the CHARACTER on the DSMP

Full disclosure this will be very poorly structured if at all

Ranboo's character is a walking talking example of a slave to faith. He represents hope (and the loss thereof) on the dsmp first and foremost and I think that's why he's such a hard hitting character

Now I do not claim to be a spectacular cranboo understander but I've had this idea boiling in my brain for a while and now I will share it.

We see it from the MOMENT he joins, seeking sanctuary from dream in a literal place of faith, but that exchange was granted mostly comedic so I should get down to brass tacks

Ranboo's centrism, his ideals of people not sides, everything he loves and everything he has, it is all based on faith. Literally all of his actions are based off of blind hope. A central point to his character is trust- in himself, in others, in the world. He admits to robbing George's house (after Tommy took all the blame in court mind you) because he believes it will help, because he has faith that tommy is not selfish, because tommy has given him reason to believe it. He goes along with the butcher army because he believes that tubbo is doing the right thing. He escapes doomsday because techno believes that it wasn't his fault. The panic room, and events within it, are based entirely on belief

We know that the dream voice is not actually dream himself, but rather ranboo's psyche taking his form as a stock "bad person", as someone who ranboo wholeheartedly believes to be The Villain. Trust is a HUGE theme in their conversation, it even all boils down to ranboo realizing he cannot place his endless faith into himself, but he KEEPS HOPING.

Despite everything, despite the horrors and the conflicts and the server falling apart, ranboo NEVER loses hope. He seems hopeless at times, but then he's faithful again- because that's how he survives. He can't believe in himself, so he finds people that he can have faith in instead, and those people can believe in him when he cannot. He survives off of faith, he lives and breathes belief.

And those people who he chooses to believe in... Unless they super duper fuck up, his faith in them is UNSHAKEN.

He puts his faith in tubbo in New L'Manburg and watches as tubbo exiles the man who took the blame for ranboo in a COURT OF LAW. sure, he visits tommy in exile, he KNOWS that was the wrong decision, but he unshakably believes that tubbo did what he thought was best. almost instantaneously afterwards, that faith leads him to assist in detaining philza and hunting technoblade, and even when that ends up biting them all in the ass, does he stop believing in tubbo after doomsday?? NO!

He MARRIES tubbo, someone as transient and listless as tubbo, and he puts his faith in his husband and in their child and in snowchester, even as tubbo compulsively moves to the next project and the next, even as tubbo drowns himself in his work

Emeraldduo put faith in him, allow him to live with them, and he puts his faith in them and in the syndicate and in that mission to prevent governments from rising again, even as he's MARRIED TO THE PRESIDENT. he goes with them to snowchester, guards tubbo's secrets, does everything he can to keep these people he believes in from fighting each other.

Even his refusal to choose sides is a blind, foolish hope - A vain faith in the goodness of his fellow players, that they will all realize that sides are useless, that it should be all of them against dream. And this faith gets spat on and trampled again and again, over and over, and still this noodle-spined coward continues to hope. He puts stock in the goodness of his fellow player even when that faith is betrayed CONSTANTLY

He lets Sam write in his book in big bold letters, "TOMMY'S DEATH IS SAM'S FAULT", and we know he doesn't believe it but he HAS to. He has to believe it to keep going, and keep going he will, because he has a husband and a child to come home to at night and a mansion for them being built that he blindly hopes tubbo will move into, even knowing how tubbo hates to stay in one place

They make the cookie outpost. Tubbo tells him about the green festival and tells him he doesn't trust Quackity. Tubbo sells the cookie outpost. Tubbo then tells him that he now trusts Quackity. Ranboo thought of that fort as something special that he and tubbo made together! Tubbo offhandedly signing it away to someone he told ranboo NOT TO TRUST should be a MASSIVE breach of that faith but does he stop trusting him? No! That's his husband! Of course he trusts tubbo.

Even when Wilbur came around, Wilbur who originally hated ranboo for not taking sides on anything, he decided he'd trust him. Against the history of everyone he cares for, he puts his faith in Wilbur because SOMEONE has to be there when he gets better. SOMEONE has to vouch for his improvement. SOMEONE has to believe in Wilbur when he can't believe in himself.

Someone has to believe in ranboo when he can't believe in himself.

Against the trust he put in Sam, against the words Sam wrote IN HIS BOOK, he's put in jail for conspiring with dream. Put in there because Sam needs leverage against dream. Sam who he trusted. Sam who trusted him. And when the breakout happens, and the leverage DOESN'T WORK, does he stop hoping?

No.

Ranboo hopes to his last breath. He is full of hope as he falls to the ground, as he presses Michael's photo into Technoblade's hand. He trusts technoblade to find his son. He trusts technoblade to care for his family. He dies hoping. He dies faithful.

And on that grass block in the middle of that ocean, he is still hoping. Cowering and despairing but still believing. He has faith that the people he loves will come for him. He has faith that Mexican dream will tell his son how much he loves him. He sits on that grass block and hopes.

He writes in his book, and he hopes.

This turned out a lot more emotional than I intended ngl but those r my thoughts on the matter. Cranboo is all about faith and belief even after it lets him down time after time, and he keeps hoping because it's all he can do. That's it :P

Hermitcraft on r/place - We Chose to Destroy Our World (4/4/2022) LAST DAY PART 2

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Part 1 Day 3 Part 2 Day 4 Part 1

This is the end of it all! Some might say this was the beginning. Some might say there wasn't any difference at all.

r/place close to the ending time shown below! (There are many different versions with slight variations, I chose this one because it's not Kermitcrapt)

... I wasn't going to make this post because I was too emotionally devastated to know what was happening and provide a "proper" recap. And I suppose most of you already know what happened. This post is for the people who have been clicking my links way after r/place ended and don't want to dip into every blog and search for #r/place. Also felt bad leaving the last post on a cliffhanger-ish. While having the last post be never posted fits the theme of "nothing lasts forever", it also just isn't... very nice, is it?

1. Shared Minecraft Roots

It was around this time (after the previous post was made) that our MC(YT) allies started asking for help because Hermitcraft was solidified. Mindcrack asked for help with their murals.

(Screenshot from AvivaKitty in HC discord)

Mindcrack area was apparently being botted HARD and for seemingly no reason? The colours of the G logo kept on being griefed (background became lime, the letter became purple) but the structure was still strangely intact. It was a tough (and also strange) battle but ultimately Mindcrack defended their area and won over the recolouring bots.

MCSR also urgently asked for our help as half of the area was being swallowed by NSFW art (from streamers maybe? Sorry I got a bit lost at this part).

(Screenshot from Jay from HC discord, shows the template of the MCSR area at 1436, 1436. They set up at 1436 because Couriway's WR was 14:36 mins long)

The area next to MCSR was a constant battle between NSFW art, MCSR desperately trying to regain territory, and the Void. It's best to search up MCSR r/place history because that shit is wild from what I heard.

Love Live was also attacked by a baguette (I know this sounds ridiculous but it was serious in the moment) and Ruby was suddenly holding a baguette. This was presumably an attack done by the French. They recovered well and thanked us. There were more minor debates on colours of blushes, small pixels, other things.

Keep in mind HC had a lot more allies, lots of communities were asking for help so I possibly can't put them all in. I also cannot account for the entire MCYT sphere even though I'm vaguely aware of them (eg. Dream and Techno's murals, nether portals). It should be noted that HC was prominently lending support to fellow MC(YT) murals, and even for MCYT that had minimal connection with HC (eg 5up), HC remained neutral if not somewhat supportive. It's just unspoken to help out a fellow MC(YT) mural.

2. Portuguese Speaking Protectors

So as you may or may not know, Brazil was besties with Hermitcraft, and Portugal also had a found family arc with Traffic Empires (and Hypixel). It's funny because it was completely coincidental that MCYT set up next to Portuguese speaking countries. If you hear the fandom referring to this, you'll know where it came from.

(Screenshot from FavouriteGinger on the HC discord)

It really is very cute <3

3. ARCHIVED INSTRUCTIONS from Hermitcraft Discord

This is copy and pasted from the pinned messages in the #rplace channel for your reference. As far as I know, this is the most recent version by Lux1eviathan with input from Echo. Be warned that this is quite long (especially with tumblr functioning, it looks fine on Discord).

Instructions: We don't know when rplace closes. Reddit intends to keep this a secret to prevent last minute grieving. Could be minutes or (9pm PT, 4am GMT).

1. the blushies stay

2. we only add non hermit faces with a very good reason

3. we focus on defense of our mural and our allies as well

4. no expanding, all surrounding communities are at least neutral but mostly friendly with us, we don't want to take their space

EDITS:

5. Dont give X white eyes! they are purple on purpose

6. Don't give anyone a mustache! it takes away pixels we could use on maintaining other parts of the mural

7. Short F in the logo! this makes it easier to prevent "hermitcrapt"

8. "stop touching scott. he is perfect!" - C.

9. Yes pearl has a blush below her hairline! It is in the skin. And yes it is supposed to be skew!

10. We have an agreement with dimden.dev. Their border is allowed to touch our stuff.

11. Blue pixel is allowed to touch Ely?

There was much debate on when r/place would end. Rumours flew about when streamers would go on air and what they would do. People were clutching onto their pixels like pearls. We also had a delegate on United Art Factions who gave us updates.

Suddenly, Dream started streaming with the aim of removing ads on r/place and replacing them with art (additional information: Ludwig was protective of small communities and helped defend art). He and his community Unus-Annus'd the H3 logo above us (they left the bigger H3 logo alone). Smaller H3 was later restored.

The other streamerss were apparently targeting big things like Osu and France so we should be fine. After all, Hermitcraft didn't have many enemies.

We also started submitting to r/thefinalclean which would clean up the r/place with communities submitting their "perfect" reference. We coordinated with MCC to let them know if we should include their spot in our area (after all, we were neighbours). MCC said they would submit everything north of HC sign, Noxcrew, and the chicken, while HC would also submit the Last Life hearts and the Evo logo. HBomb also started looking like a catmaid so we quickly repaired him.

The clock ticked closer and closer to 12am GMT, a rumoured end time. People were getting tired of defending their pixels and started wishing for the Reddit gods to end this whole ordeal already.

Around 15 minutes before 12am, it began.

The beginning of the end.

5. The Beginning Of The End

It began innocently enough. I was doing my patrols every minute around the HC area, then saw a few white pixels on our logo. Now one pixel wasn't unusual, but the number made me worry. The colour choice was also odd because GME rogues used green, Brazil rogues also used green, and the HC logo was made of blue, purple, and black. As I was on cooldown, I dutifully reported to HC discord. "Logo being griefed!" I said.

Then people started noticing the only colour available was white. And it wasn't a glitch for one person, or a few people, but for everyone.

Uh oh.

The chat was being spammed with "oh crap" or "oh no" or variations. Reddit's intention sank in like cold water seeping into our bones: they wanted r/place to end in a white void.

They didn't just want Hermitcraft to be erased. Oh no, no, no. They wanted everything to be erased. All our allies. All the NSFW streamer art. All of the Void. Everything. Nothing.

This was the end of the world as we knew it. We could do nothing except jump off the ship with a cheery, yet solemn "o7".

People were shocked. People were in disbelief. We legit speedran the stages of grief in a few minutes. From the utter shock and horror to bargaining (Maybe it already ended? Maybe they saved our place?) to anger at our hard work being completely erased. Then came the depression as we mutely held each other. Finally, acceptance, and more and more people signed off. We sent songs about the world ending and thank you messages and tried to make our words count with the slowmode choking our sentences.

Please believe me when I say this experience fucked me up.

The worst part for me personally was that it was a slow death. It wasn't like Reddit froze time or they used their powers to wipe the board clean. No, no, they offered everybody a single colour. Collectively, we had the power to preserve everything if nobody ever placed a wrong white pixel. We could save our world if we tried.

But of course nobody even thought of that because the damage was already done. The white pixels were already gently falling down like snow. Ever since the first white pixel was placed, our fate was sealed.

We would destroy this world, pixel by pixel, as slowly and meticulously as we built it.

At first, many found it unacceptable. They thought it was unfair that their efforts were all erased. Others found it poetic that it ended as it began. Others were just RELIEVED this was over. Others were standing there, completely emotionally devastated. There was one question left unanswered:

What now?

6. The Void and What Came After

The wave of o7s crashing in HC discord was very nice, but also sad. This was about when I signed off because I was internally screaming LOL

Bottom right corner France instantly turned white (haha, bots?). The hivemind collectively spelled out FREE and then DONE (which immediately became BONER) in white. We were set free from our silly pixel defence games.

(Screenshot by Gren in HC discord)

Hermitcraft x Brazil area slowly became consumed by the white and it looked like snowing. Because looking at the disappearing HC area was upsetting for me, I migrated to Traffic Empires where people were drawing white hearts on flags, Martyn asked for his own death, I anxiously checked and rechecked my blush pixel on RK, etc etc.

Pixel by pixel, Redditors gently erased the thing they'd been obsessed for days. It was almost like putting everybody to sleep. The snow fell harder, heavier, until it was all quiet. There was nothing.

People scrambled to place a white pixel so their names could remain on the final canvas, but even that was erased. The final product was a huge, endlessly white canvas, untarnished by names or human creation.

Just like how it all started.

Our allies, now recovered from the shock, now came in to spread their thank yous. So many of them have left the chat now because r/place was over, leaving behind their ghost messages and ghost hearts. People, now emotional, started sprouting stories and fanfic and poetry. There are a lot of good stuff in the HC discord, including the now famous "maybe we can be neighbours again next time" from r/brasil <3

Then HC discord resumed their eternal debate about colours of Hermit pixels, and I moved to tumblr to start babbling about Narnia kids and snowfall and waking up from a long dream lol.

The end is the beginning. We created a world, lived in it for such a short time, became attached, and then it was slowly eroded, snow falling on snow. The world doesn’t end with a bang, but with a whimper. Slowly, slowly, it ends as slowly as we built it. What the actual fuck.

7. Additional Resources

So as anti-climatic that might be, that's it. A somewhat biased, incomplete recollection of Hermitcraft r/place, once said to be like the morning newspaper. This is the end. Phew! :D

I cannot stress enough that this is not comprehensive. In fact, I doubt any summary of r/place of any community can be 100% comprehensive. There were simply too many people involved. This is the best I can do and I apologize for any mistakes, wrong information, and other important stuff I might have omitted. I know I left out some stuff that I remember, and there is way more stuff that I never knew of. This is also from the perspective of a GMT timezone person with weird sleeping schedules (I slept at 5am and woke up at 1pm), so dates/times might be inconsistent.

This is why I invite everybody to add onto this post if you want to correct something or simply add your experience! :DD r/place is a community effort, it makes sense for this post series to be a community effort too. I'll link some resources/ posts below:

There is of course way more but I'm too tired rn haha.

Once again a huge thank you to everybody who read this entire thing and put up with my nonsense for the past week <3 This experience is certainly unforgettable and I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of it. I feel like I might have more to say but words fail me. So here's my goodbye for now <3

Hope this series has been helpful (and I'm not spreading too much misinfo haha)! Maybe r/place will come along in 5 years. Maybe I'll be there. Maybe I won't.

But for now, this is the present. Our past erased (but preserved), our future unknown. Thank you to everybody who joined me on this fascinating journey! <3

Quackity

Hannahxxrose

It opens with a shadowy shot of the L’manburg crater, sinking down to the L’manburg flag...

- 

NOTHING LEFT

-

An animated title sequence plays.

—

LAS NEVADAS: SEASON FINALE

—

Quackity walks out of the prison. There’s a flashback to Quackity interrogating Dream about Techno’s escape.

-

LESSONS

3 MONTHS BEFORE THE PRISON VISIT

-

- Slime walks up the spiral stairs of the hotel, meeting Quackity there. The two sit down, and Quackity explains that he is going to be visiting some “friends” soon, and he could die. Slime reminds Quackity of himself when he first arrived on the server. He wants to teach Slime everything he knows so that if Quackity doesn’t come back, he needs Slime to be able to take over for him when he dies

WEEK 1: Humans are assholes and they are going to gatekeep at any chance they get

- Quackity shows Slime the ruins of L’manburg, reminiscing on how he was rejected from L’manburg because he wasn’t British

WEEK 2: Politics are the way to power

- Quackity tells Slime that he has to create relationships with people he doesn’t like and sieze power through politics, telling the story of SWAG2020 and the Manberg cabinet, how that’s the way to power

Slime: “Quackity from Las Nevadas...do I need to want power?”

Quackity flashes back to his memories of Schlatt’s administration, being confronted by Tubbo and Niki, both distraught

WEEK 5: Create no emotional attachments to anything. Everything gets destroyed

- Quackity recites to Slime the stories of Wilbur and Dream and their downfalls, then his own: he wanted to build a nation until his friends abandoned him

- Slime asks if Las Nevadas is going to be destroyed. Quackity tells him he has to love the country like he does

WEEK 6: Hold your ground against authority

- Quackity teaches Slime about Mexican L’manburg and how he stood against authority to protect it. Not against good authority though, only bad (Quackity does an impression of Dream, dressing up as him to teach Slime about “bad authority”)

Slime: “Maybe one day I’ll teach you something!”

Quackity: “...You have.”

WEEK 10: Trust nobody

- Quackity tells Slime about how George didn’t show up to the election, how his friends made a country without him. Everyone he’s trusted has turned against him

(There’s a flashback to Sam talking with Dream, hiding him in secret)

- Slime tells Quackity that he trusts him. Should he stop? Quackity tells him that the people Quackity really cares about are the people he keeps around him. Slime is the only person he’s kept around for so long

- Slime tells Quackity that he doesn’t actually have 300 bones

WEEK 11: Seek successful revenge because if you fail, the consequences are going to be bitter

- Quackity has a flashback to hunting down Technoblade with the Butcher Army, putting together plans –

Slime: “is it worth it?”

Quackity: “What?”

Slime: “I’ve been watching for a long time and one person lashes out, then the other does, until they’re both gone. From what I’ve seen, it feels like people don’t stop taking that revenge...is it ever worth it?”

Quackity: “No...no it’s not.”

FINAL WEEK: Legacy is all you leave behind in this world

- Quackity tells Slime that his legacy is Las Nevadas, and that’s why he cares for it so long. Legacy is what people leave behind

Slime: “Let’s leave behind a good one.”

- A page flips, and Purpled recites:

---

“I’ve not yet forgotten Quackity’s heinous crimes against my heritage. The UFO explosion is a crime which I will not, and cannot forgive. I’ve been trying to get closer to everyone in order to appear friendly. However, Slime seems to be Quackity’s new puppet. Disappointing. I notice the weekly pattern. This puts a dent in my plan to sieze power through friendly diplomacy. I have to change my strategy. I’ll have to strategize through Slime and try to squeeze him out of any valuable information. And when the time seems right, I’ll do whatever I have to do.”

---

- Quackity sees Slime in his bedroom. He wants to give one last piece of advice: he’s never been lucky, so he has to make his own luck. 

Quackity: “Remember one thing, Slime: The house always wins. And guess what? We are the house, so we will always win.”

-

LOOSE ENDS

2 DAYS BEFORE THE PRISON VISIT

-

- Sapnap is wandering around Las Nevadas, marveling at the place

- Quackity sees him and greets him gleefully, excited to finally reunite

- Sapnap asks if he’s heard of Kinoko, that he should come see it. Quackity quickly brings him around on a tour of the place. Sapnap asks him again if he’s seen Karl. Quackity hasn’t, but he’s seen George

- Quackity says Las Nevadas has been busy. They have the grand opening coming up, he doesn’t know if he can make a trip to Kinoko. Sapnap insists that they go

- As thunder booms, Quackity tells Sapnap that they left to make a country without him. Sapnap is confused – Karl sent out an invitation, but Quackity didn’t get one, and nobody forgets an invitation like that

- Sapnap tells him to come see Karl right now and find out the truth...

There’s an image of the El Rapids Supremacy sign

----

- Quackity and Sapnap enter Kinoko Kingdom. Quackity notes that the style is like the style he wanted for El Rapids

- Sapnap shows him around to the military building that he overseas. Quackity asks if they have any enemies – they might have some soon...

- He also shows Quackity Tina’s house, the newest member of the server and resident of Kinoko

- Sapnap tells him they’re welcome to new members, but Quackity is busy with Las Nevadas. They go over to the library and Quackity asks how long after they stopped talking did they start on this. Sapnap says it was decently soon after

- They run into Karl at the library. Karl’s eyes have turned yellow. Quackity points out things about Kinoko that remind him of stuff they had back in New L’manburg

- Karl was thinking of making a rollercoaster on his house. Quackity points out that he already did...

- Sapnap and Quackity ask if he remembers El Rapids, all their missions

- Karl suddenly pulls Sapnap aside, asking why he brought the guy who was the reason he died here. Quackity and Sapnap are shocked – this is Quackity!

- Sapnap and Quackity try to remind him that Karl’s death was a plan that all of them agreed on to legitimize Mexican L’manburg, but Karl doesn’t remember agreeing to it. Quackity snaps at Karl about not being invited to Kinoko

Karl: “I don’t know anything about you except you’re the reason I died!”

- They walk out of the house shouting at each other, Sapnap trying to shout that it’s just a joke

Quackity: “What, you’re just gonna ignore all the history we’ve had together Karl, you’re gonna be an asshole like that?!”

Karl: “WHAT HISTORY?”

- Quackity rants at Karl that he’s worked on everything alone, he’s never needed to work with anyone else, he’s only done it himself

- Karl runs away from Quackity in the rain. Quackity shouts that if Karl ever tries to come across him or Las Nevadas, there will be problems. Karl orders Sapnap to get Quackity out of here

- Quackity tells Sapnap that Sapnap is still welcome, but he doesn’t want Karl around him. Quackity leaves, enraged

There’s a flashback to the Mexican L’manburg protest and the all of them planning Karl’s death.

-

DAY OF THE VISIT

-

Quackity enters the prison and there’s another flashback to Techno’s escape and the chaos that ensued afterwards, as Quackity discovers that Dream is seemingly missing as well.

---

- Quackity is running through Las Nevadas, beckoning Slime over to him. He needs to find the others. Purpled comes running over to them. Purpled tells them that somebody left a chest...

- Quackity is suspicious of the chest, but Slime runs over to open it instead. They turn around and Purpled flips a lever, sending them tumbling down into a fall trap

- They’re on a platform above the lava, and Purpled confronts Quackity about the prison visit. He wants the revival book for himself

- Quackity tells Purpled that Dream and Techno are out of prison. Purpled puts on a suit of Netherite to kill Quackity for the book unless he gives up the book. The two begin to fight

Quackity: “Even if I did have the fucking book...I wouldn’t give it to you.”

- Purpled turns and hits Slime off the edge of the platform into the lava below. Quackity jumps in after him, trying to save Slime, but it’s not use

Slime: “Thank you for showing me what it’s like to be human...maybe I almost was.”

Slime perishes in the lava.

-

WEEKS LATER

-

There’s a shot of Quackity by some bookshelves. He goes down into Slime’s room. Slime is there, greener than before and unmoving, and Quackity’s brought him two books. He’s been researching slimes, hoping to help Slime walk and talk again. He doesn’t know if Slime even remembers him. He’s been writing down everything Slime ever did.

Quackity: “You’re more than slime, you’re human. So it’s gonna sounds silly, but I came up with a name for you. I came up with...Charlie. I kinda like it.”

- He notices that there’s one more book than normal in the chest...a book that Slime wrote, filled with random letters

- Quackity runs off to try and figure it out, going to the library Foolish

The two of them notice that certain letters are spaced apart from the others.

L... E... G... A... C... Y

Legacy.

- Quackity runs back to tell Charlie he figured it out, but Charlie is already gone.

---

Quackity welcomes everyone to the grand opening of Las Nevadas, inviting everyone to indulge themselves in luxury and thrills...

“So...are you ready to try your luck?”

---

- Hannah later streams on the SMP. Technoblade is online, and Ranboo, Sam and Callahan log on later

---

The Dream SMP Season Finale will continue on SUNDAY with Technoblade’s Jailbreak stream

11AM PST / 1PM CST / 2PM EST

[theminecraftbox]

I have to wonder if cdream ever lost faith on the gamble for asking cbad to give the blueprints to cranboo. Like. Did he think cbad went and reported the attempt instead of actually doing it? Did cdream just have to *guess* when he told ctechno where the blueprints would be hidden, wondering if theyd ever been placed at all?

/dsmp /rp

I tend to think that Bad probably quietly assured Dream that he’d placed the blueprints, as soon as he got a chance. We know there must have been at LEAST enough communication between them to establish that Bad needed to contact EW!Ranboo (even if the details of blueprints + coordinates were set up ahead of time… but if they were, then why didn’t Dream just hide a copy himself pre-prison? But I digress.) This makes me think that Bad would at least give Dream a bit of reassurance.

But, two HUGE caveats:

1) there was still the time that passed in the interim.

How often did Bad get a chance to visit Dream in the first place? Can’t have been all the time. That would be a real hassle for Sam to manage, plus neither Dream nor Bad acts like he saw him daily or anything like that. How many days passed with Dream wondering every day if THIS would be the time Quackity would come in with a furious twist to his smile and say, “you’ll never guess what Bad told me, Dream.”

On top of that, how long did it take for Bad to figure out how to steal the blueprints, successfully find and trigger EW!Ranboo, and otherwise coordinate things? Stealing from Sam is dangerous. Bad knows what he’s capable of. If he fails it’s… yeah, it’s not good. It’s fucking terrifying. Bad tries hard not to think about it.

Bad cannot provoke suspicion. This means he has to be very careful about when and how he talks to Dream.

2) sure as hell doesn’t mean Dream believed him! At least not completely!

Dream has learned his lesson about trust, and he’s learned it well. This could all be a trick. A long con. Maybe Sam’s a lot better at this than Dream thinks he is. Maybe Sam’s assigned Bad to play good cop.

Maybe the plan is that Bad is going to keep trying to gain Dream’s confidence, agree to help him, agree to an escape plan, and then—and then ask for just one little thing in return. One little secret, that’s all, and then you’ll be free, did you like those sandwiches, Dream, you can have so many once you’re out! Won’t that be nice.

Dream gave Techno the coordinates, sure. But he also tells Techno he didn’t think Techno was coming back for him. He had three long months to wait and wonder if Bad betrayed him or simply lost his nerve; or if something went wrong and Techno never got the blueprints, or if Techno decided not to fulfill the favor after all.

[medium-kat07]

As someone who has been mulling over this in secret for a while, can someone please explain this to me

/dsmp /rp

Because c!Techno... He said that c!Tommy betrayed him by going back to l'manburg. That in itself is a lot to unpack but there's one thing he mentioned, that he would have stuck with Tommy until the end, that he would have protected Tommy...

And I keep thinking back to that one scene in all the animatics where c!Dream tries to take tommy and Techno steps between them to protect tommy, and he says "That's gonna be a bit of a problem, dream. Because this guy's with me." And that's usually where the animatics cut off.

But right after that, Techno says, "Unless you want to call in that favor."

And I can't I cannot get that out of my head bc he was literally willing to trade off tommy if Dream called in the favor. He was willing to do that, right?

And tommy saw this, and he probably realized he wasn't as safe as he thought he was, right? How can Techno claim that tommy betrayed him when he was willing to do the same?

I believe there is SOMETHING i'm missing, maybe Techno said he was bluffing at some point, and i really would like SOMEONE to explain it to me bc if I'm right, c!Techno is even more of a hypocrite than I thought he was.

--

--

Edit: @the-unaligned-player Okay yes let’s talk about that!!

You wanted me to mention the ‘Favor’ that Techno was willing to give Tommy up for; that c!Dream saved c!Techno from execution. I want to say that im really happy you told me that because I did Not know the previously, and while it doesn’t change my opinion, it’d be good to say exactly why;

Yes, that’s a good thing to have a favor for, and Techno should totally feel grateful his life was saved, and he’s allowed to pay back the favor and that’s good and great. It was a good thing Dream did for him. He’s allowed to feel like he should pay something back. But that doesn’t mean he gets to be angry at Tommy for being grateful to his nation.

Now, i’ll be honest, L’manburg was a piece of shit. It was a terrible thing from the start and it hurt a lot of people by just existing. And when Tommy changed sides, and left Techno, we really need to consider the fact that 

1. Tommy had been fighting for this place his entire life. For years, this little stretch of land wasn’t just a Nation, it was literally his home. It was where he lived and where he loved and where he wanted to die, if he could’ve. It wasn’t just a government, it was his symphony, finished or not, and even though it was terrible, he couldn’t give it up because Techno said it was bad and that’s that. He just couldn’t.

2. Up until this moment, Tommy had been convinced Tubbo hated him, had forgotten him, and/or wanted him dead. Dream told him that Tubbo didn’t care about him, that much was something that DID happen in exile and I can go pull up clips if I need to. Now, Tommy was finding that he COULD be with Tubbo again. He could fight for his country with his best friend again. That Tubbo did care about him- and Tubbo had been by his side since the beginning and they’d been through everything side by side, whereas Tommy and Techno were not nearly as close. Tommy wasn’t just betraying Techno for a government, he was betraying him for his best friend, who he loved and cared for.

I’m not saying anything regarding the morals of the favor or something, I don’t know where i’d start with that, but what i’m TALKING ABOUT is that in my personal opinion, Techno shouldn’t have been angry with Tommy for anything, because Tommy had just as much reason to betray Techno as Techno did Tommy- they had equal responsibility to each other.

Tommy is to L’manburg as Techno is to The Favor, if you get what I mean. While L’manburg isn’t necessarily Good in any way and the favor isn’t Bad in any way, the characters have the same level of loyalty to both concepts.

All I’m saying is that, as far as I’m aware, Techno should not have been mad at Tommy for betraying him.

You can refute this with evidence in the reblogs, I’d like someone to because I’ve wanted to talk/debate with someone on this for a while, but don’t be rude please just remember it’s still minecraft roleplay lmao

[enderwoah]

ORIGINS SMP HEADCANONS (because i love them): SEASON TWO EDITION BAYBEEE

(this is really long ENJOY :gun:)

tommy

he is phil's son smile

phil's most recent son at least

he's got like one more somewhere

he picked this one up off the dangerous streets a few years ago and he's been sticking with phil ever since

his wings are small- not too small to fly, but they're untrained to the point where it would take a lot or work to get him off the ground

but at first, he didn't really seem to want to learn all that much?

(he has three scars on his face- all from trying to learn how to fly when he was younger)

(he gave up after the third one)

("if at first you don't succeed; try, try again" is his motto, and he tried all three times)

but!! phil and wilbur are very persuasive :) and now that he knows he can fly, he's not going to rest until he does

he's a little manipulative to get what he wants sometimes, but can you blame someone that lived on the street for so long?

he had to do that to survive! it's not his fault.

(it's a great excuse.)

he laughs like a kookaburra amen

he squawks when he gets scared

he chirps. he tries not to because it makes phil go absolutely bird-brained but he does sometimes and he hates it.

tubbo

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A B[GUNSHOTS]

god he is. so fucking annoying (/rp)

he simply does not know when to stop

he ignores social cues to see when someone is annoyed

(see: he can read social cues. he does read social cues. when you get annoyed that's when he starts being more annoying, because you're more likely to give him what he wants to get him to shut the fuck up.)

he loves talking to (at) people, especially people he doesn't really know that well

so he's trying to be friends with ranboo, but the absolute prick keeps trying to avoid any actual conversations, so that's not working

he buzzes when he gets excited-happy

his fingertips are completely blackened and horrendously sharp, functioning as ten individual stingers

they don't do any actual damage but he's working on that

techno

wither hybrid (??)

how can you be a wither hybrid?? nobody got down and dirty with the wither

he's an experiment

the reason we haven't seen him yet? he's staying away from the main area of the smp

he doesn't want to ruin its natural beauty with his withering effect, so he keeps to himself on the outskirts of the smp

which sucks

withers get health from killing things

he's not fully a wither, so he gets energy from being around people and sort of draining their life force a little bit

he feels terrible when he's with just one person because they are Literally his life support and it makes the person feel like shit

when he's with a big group of people its great!! he only has to take a little bit from everyone and its barely noticable!!

but then there's the wither part. so he has to stay away.

he's always tired

always exhausted

he's a farmer, so taking it from animals works, but god does he miss people

but he can only visit a few times and for very short

(he's afraid that one of these days he'll get so bad that the next time he sees someone he'll accidentally kill them)

(it already happened once. he's blessed that he's been forgiven, even made friends with by the victims, but he doubts he'll be able to pull that off again with no consequences like last time)

wilbur

phantlings are dead elytrians, and given that wilbur was phil's son...he's a phantling

he died in the late 50s and was a librarian when he was alive, so he's very possessive (ha) over all of his things

you should never ask to "borrow" anything from him, he will hound you about it until you give it back

it's best to just say that you want something from him to keep

even if youre going to give it back

just for your own peace of mind

phantlings can feel fear and get a genuine feeling of elation from scaring people

of course, sometimes its unwelcome (feeling large amounts of fear from someone they care about in a bad way just makes them pissed)

but for the most part, wilbur loves appearing in the corner of people's visions just to jumpscare them a few minutes later

all in good fun, of course!! it's just hilarious :)

being the lighthearted, fun guy he is, he's not particularly secretive about his method of death

"how did i die? well, it all started -- ended -- on november 16th, 1958!"

"i walked out of the library late, since i took the shift for my wife since she was feeling sick and i worked there anyways,"

"the streets were dark and only lit up by gaslamps...and out of an alley...appeared..........."

techno.

he didn't mean it. wilbur isn't at all mad at him (anymore)

he was starving. he didn't know that one touch would be enough to fully revitalize him...

and murder wilbur where he stood.

sneeg

has details on everyone on the server

you Cannot Hide Shit From Sneeg

its impossible

if you find of his any shittly little mouse holes then you're doomed

you find one and there are twenty more

he's under your floorboards while you're having your important discussion about trapping the nether roof

sucks to suck ig??

he seems to be the favourite of many, which is weird since he rarely goes out of his way to actually talk to many people

he's the only person that tubbo doesn't actively try to annoy (or maybe he just doesn't find tubbo's antics all that annoying)

he's the only person that ranboo stays around (or maybe he stays around ranboo- he and Phil seem to be the only ones not off-put by his slightly sadistic and whiny demeanour (not counting tubbo, who annoys him anyways)

phil seems to be more protective of him than he thinks is normal (he lets sneeg ride on his shoulder while travelling, so he doesn't really complain)

niki is completely protective over him (again, not complaining)

contrary to popular believe, he does not get high from sugar

if anything he gets

high-per

(get it)

(high-per)

(hyper)

he's literally just a nine-year old getting a sugar rush leave him alone

phil

take the normal "bird-brain" headcanons and multiply it by like sixty-four

and you've got origins phil

he can't see glass- or, rather, he can, but it doesn't register that 'hey, this is a solid surface i am going to slam into'

its very funny for everyone else but he's pretty sure he has permanent brain damage from the blunt force trauma

if there is ANYONE on the server who dares to chirp, bird or no, they must understand that they are signing away their privacy and giving phil the right to go absolutely bonkers over them momma bird style

(shoutout to tommy, wilbur, ranboo, and fundy for having to suffer through this)

"oh??? you don't have wings?? you don't have feathers?? omg?? then what's this im preening?? what do you mean im just braiding your hair?? nono this is preening smile"

god help you if you dare to have wings

poor tommy, wilbur, sneeg, and tubbo

phil can't help himself alright

do you think he wants to be any sort of protective over sneegsnag?

no!! but he cant stop himself!! sneeg might damage his wings if he keeps flying those super long distances!!! nnnno! carry the bug man!!!

it's weird, he's always had that protective sense over ranboo, too

but ranboo very obviously doesn't have wings, so he doesn't get it...

ranboo

yes ur a peasant

yes ur poor

yes im cooler than u

what r u gonna do about it

the enderdragon's son! partially a dragon, partially enderman, partially human (don't ask, his other mom is a hybrid), all spoiled brat!

given that he has a ton of dragon genes, he's extremely possessive over his stuff and Yes He Does Do The Hoarding Thing

he has a pile of rings and gold chains and necklaces and most of his jewellery hidden underneath his bed

(if you ask him, no, he doesn't)

not to wear

just to Have

one time, fundy stole one (1) bracelet from the hoard and ranboo was sent into a panic for a good 24 hours

he wouldn't leave his cave and kept counting and recounting as if that'd make the missing piece reappear

(when fundy had to give it back because of the guilt, he expected to get his face bitten off)

(instead, he just watched as the prince was flooded with relief, telling him to get the hell out and nothing more)

it's weird, he has so much gold and even a crown, and yet here he is

living with all those people ^^^

truth be told, the enderdragon isn't a very nice dragon

nor is she a very kind queen

nor was the other queen

nor was her son

there was a mutiny in the end, leading to the dragon queen and her wife being killed brutally by the crowd of angered people

they went after their son next, who had ordered executions and worked servants to the bone just as much as they had

they cut off his wings in the middle of the square

he was sure he was going to die until a random person (a peasant) jumped up and yelled at them for publicly torturing a child

but ranboo didn't really catch all of it, given he was delirious from pain

he got to get some stuff quickly and escape with his life

this wasn't too long ago, either, so he's still trying to...adjust...to people talking rudely to him

(he's also trying to adjust to not having wings)

(hence why he hurls himself off the edges of cliffs and then has to teleport to the bottom instead of glide. he keeps forgetting.)

Technoblade had been in a lot of sticky situations in his life. If Technoblade were the kind of person to be completely honest with himself, he’d admit that maybe some of those times were… potentially avoidable. Maybe.

It’s not as though Technoblade is stupid, far from it, he’s regarded by his community as a guy who can get things done.

Do you need someone to calculate the odds you win the prank war with your neighbor? You call Technoblade.

Do you need someone to tell you why all your crops keep dying? You call Technoblade.

Do you need someone to help you fudge your part of a group presentation? You call Technoblade.

It’s just… Technoblade had a weakness. A massive, debilitating weakness that just so happened to be extraordinarily easy to exploit. However, Technoblade, in all his infinite wisdom, learned to keep this weakness a secret, so no one could ever exploit him.

“I cannot believe your plan to lure citizens into a metal cage with carrots actually worked.”

Some situations, however, were completely unavoidable.

Techno groans as the world begins to take form around him in throbbing, painful waves. He hears something clatter and painstakingly wrenches his eyelids open to stare down the startled form of his assailants in a dirty, abandoned warehouse.

At first glance, Technoblade sees two figures, both clad in haphazard villainous costumes and cowering away from his deceptive carrot prison.

One appears to be some sort of avian hybrid, as evidenced by his small red wings flaring behind him and flapping as he back-pedals away from the cage, pulling the other with him by the arm.

The other figure, being much taller than the other, trips over his acquaintance, before face planting on the concrete with a yelp and belatedly teleporting away a second too late. Techno nods to himself. An enderman hybrid then.

Both costumes follow a similar pattern, just being black jogging suits outfitted with elbow and knee pads with hand-crafted cardboard devil masks. However, it seems the enderman hybrid attempted to spice up his persona by adding a genuinely authentic-looking crown and jewelry, while the avian skipped the bells-and-whistles and instead attempted to add an emblem in red duct tape on his mask and chest. What it was supposed to be, was anyone's guess. If Techno was gonna take a shot in the dark, he'd say it looked kind of like an upside-down T.

Techno hauls himself into a sitting position, before cocking his head at his attackers, unimpressed.

“Bruh… What were in those carrots?” Techno moans, rubbing his head. He unpins his flower crown from his updo and shakes his braids loose. “I mean, they were delicious, but I did not want to take that nap.”

The enderman hybrid shakes himself out of his stupor, before grabbing the arm of his compatriot and turning to whisper into his ear.

“Tommy, I thought you said your drug mix would keep him out for a whole day! It’s only been an hour!” He whisper-shouts at the avian, unaware that Techno’s ears begin to twitch as he speaks.

“Shut up Ranboo!” The avian, Presumably-Tommy, growls at Probably-Ranboo. “My drugs are– My drugs are like beautiful, respectful women who are perfect all the time. It’s his stupid flowery pink bitch body that's broken.”

Techno rolls his eyes at the squabbling of the Definitely-Teenagers and leans over from his sitting position and taps a sharp nail against the lock of his cage.

“I hate to break up the middle school drug ring committee but can I go home now?" Techno drawls, withdrawing his outstretched hand to slump against the bars. “Because as much fun as this is, I need to go take a Big Kid dose of Tylenol.”

“I– you– bitch– we’re not fucking middle-schoolers bitch! We’re big men and supervillains and we’re holding you for ransom and you’re gonna die bitch!” Tommy splutters, going red in the face, still maintaining his distance from the cage.

“You’re not going to die if we get our ransom money.” Ranboo amends helpfully.

“Right… So what is this like one of those social experiment videos for TikTok or…” Techno’s sentence trails off as he begins to look around the abandoned warehouse for hidden cameras, still leaning on the bars for support.

Tommy’s wings puff up, as he begins to stomp towards the cage. “What? No! We’re fucking real-deal supervillains bitch! Look scared!”

“Mm… Nah.”

Tommy’s hands ball into fists at his side, and his wings flare wide, which would almost be impressive if his wingspan was over 2 feet.

‘Listen Bitch-Face! I’m the Red Streak, and I’m the meanest electrokinetic you’ve ever seen. Yeah, I’ll shock your grandma while she’s knitting you a scarf, and then, while she’s all shocked and shit, I’ll throw her off a pier!” Tommy’s hands begin to spark for dramatic effect.

It’s almost intimidating until one of the sparks catches on the edge of his sweatshirt top and ignites. For a moment, it seems to evade his attention, as both Techno and Ranboo stare at him wide-eyed, in abject horror. Smugly, Tommy tries to plant his hands on his hips in victory before noticing the small blaze that is making its way up his side. Shrieking, Tommy throws himself to the ground and begins to stop, drop, and roll in what can only be described as practiced precision.

On the heels of Tommy’s failure, Ranboo seems to catch his second wind and struts forward as well. “And I am the cunning villain Call of Duty! And I possess the ability to call simple-minded creatures, much like yourself, to my aid!”

Ranboo begins to fish around in his jogging suit pocket before procuring a small tree frog, that he gently sits on the ground.

“Attack Minion!”

Minion valiantly hops towards Technoblade, crossing the barred threshold into enemy territory. Minion faces her enemy and daringly launches her tongue at Technoblade’s fragile kneecap, hitting it with unimpaired precision.

Even so, the accuracy does nothing to change the fact that tree frogs are harmless to any creature larger than a fly. To Minion’s credit, Techno is impressed enough with her bravery (and cuteness) that he abandons sulking against the cage wall and scoops her up to place in his overall pocket.

“So is it just frogs?”

“Huh?”

“Is it just frogs that you can control?” Technoblade asks, using one finger to gently pet Minion on the head.

“No! Of course not!” Ranboo splutters, disgruntled.

“Yeah!” Tommy pops up, freshly extinguished. “He can also do toads!”

“Shut up To– Shut up Red Streak!”

“Okay. Okay,” Techno waves his hands in a calming gesture, instantly quelling any bickering before it had the chance to start, “here’s what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna let me go because between you and me no one is gonna pay any ransom for me. I live alone with my dogs and I don’t think they’ve learned to crack safes yet.”

The boys begin to protest and Techno raises a finger to shush them.

“And I’ll help you come up with less awful villain names. Because c’mon bro Red Streak? That– Heh– That sounds like something you don’t wanna see after you wipe. I mean, at that point just stick with Tommy.”

“How do you know my-”

“And Ranboo don’t even get me started, like, you just stole the name of a mid-level first-person shooter, and their lawyers are ruthless bro, you’re not gonna be able to market anything, not a good time.”

“How- how do you know our names?” Ranboo stutters, his look of shock evident even under his mask.

Wordlessly, Technoblade motions up towards his giant, fluffy bunny ears.

“Oh.” His shoulders slump, defeated.

“Fucking- fucking wait a second.” Tommy shakes his head, pulling off his mask. “Now that you know are real identities, why don’t we just kill you, and come up with better names ourselves?”

Ranboo perks up. “Yeah!”

Tommy reignites his lightning, which now looks much more intimidating when not being aimed at his clothing. Ranboo unsheathes a sword from his belt and they both advance on Technoblade. Minion lets out a strangled croak and ducks down into Techno’s pocket in fear.

Techno reassuringly pats his Minion Pocket, sighing. “Fine. I’ll choose blood.”

As the boys advance onto his cage, Techno rears back and slams the door open, sending both boys flying. He then uses both hands to propel himself forward and flip onto the top of the cage.

“It’s over! I have the high ground!” Technoblade yells triumphantly. Minion echoes him in a croak of victory.

“Fucking how?” Tommy splutters. “That door was locked!”

Laughing, Technoblade draws out a slightly worse-for-wear bobby pin out of his Minion Pocket, before tucking one of his braids back with it.

Both pseudo-supervillains clamber to their feet as Techno readies himself for another attack, before they’re interrupted by the warehouse door crumpling like wet tissue paper. Stepping into the warehouse, accompanied by his horde of sentient shadow vassals, is the Top Hero, Crowfather.

Everyone is silent as he strides towards the battle. Technoblade can’t help a small gasp of surprise. He didn’t think these vagrant teens would be big enough targets to warrant hero attention, much less attention for the number one hero in all of Ohessempi.

Crowfather dramatically sweeps off his hat and disregarding Technoblade entirely, turns his steely gaze towards the amateur supervillains. Both gulp as they cease all aggressive action to cower.

“Ranboo. Tommy. You little shits are in so much trouble.”

Oh. Crowfather knows the vagrant teens. Okay.

“We weren’t actually gonna--”

“He kicked us--”

“We just wanted some money to–”

“You never wanna hang out with us anymore--”

Crowfather holds up a hand. “Nope. Not listening. Both of you get home before I got to start crafting a belt.” He reaches for his Hardcore Heart belt in warning.

At the mention of a belt, both boys gather up their supplies and scamper off into the night, escaping Crowfather’s Disappointed Dad aura for a short while. Some shadow vassals trail after them, Crowfather clearly not quite done with either child yet.

As soon as they’re out of sight, Crowfather’s menacing aura dissipates and he groans, hands shooting up to rub at his temples.

“Sorry about the idiots. They’re feral.”

At the display of genuine human emotion, Techno shakes off some of his star-struck awe to shrug nonchalantly.

“Eh. I was handling it.”

Crowfather glances around, nodding at the evidence of Ranboo and Tommy were getting their asses kicked.

"I can see that. Impressive, Tommy is a powerful electrokinetic and Ranboo is an experienced telepath. What troop unit do you belong to mate? I’ll write you a good review.”

Techno shakes his head, grimacing.

“Nah, Nah, Nah. I’m not a suit-wearing kind of guy. I’m just a farmer. Just got caught in the wrong place wrong time, you know how it is… If I’m free to leave..?”

Techno hops off the cage and glances rapidly in between Crowfather in the door, indicating his desire to no longer be there.

Crowfather blinks surprised. “Sure mate, although I think you’d be good–” His sentence peters off as Techno quickly rushes past him and hops off into the night.

All Crowfather hears as the pink blur whips past him is a distant “Byeeeee.”

*** A short while later, Philza, the feared villain Angel of Death soars high above the crumbling expanse of his kingdom, watching his civilians unseen under a cloak of darkness.

Finally spotting what he was looking for, he lands on a nearby building and watches as Technoblade arrives home, mobbed by dogs, and disappears into his house, only to reemerge a short while later with a watering can.

Watching Techno tend to his flowers with a mild sort of interest, Philza blindly digs through his pockets for his burner. Upon finding it, he flips it open and speed-dials the only number saved.

Eyes shadowed by the brim of his hat, the Angel of Death smiles. “Hey, Sneeg? I think I found the perfect fit for our plan.”

Below, Techno finishes up tending to his plants early. Maybe it’s just his run-in with the teens, but he can’t shake the feeling of being watched.

Opinions on c!Tommy keeping the Axe of Peace? I always find people's opinions on this topic interesting :D

i think it really showed his personal growth. tommy for the entirety of his exile (and possibly even before it) had been relying on other people to determine his self worth. first wilbur, then dream, then techno.

the axe of peace was given to tommy when techno told him he was “finally worthy of it” (read: complacent in the destruction of his home, lol).

in the community house scene, tommy realizes he can’t stand by and let l’manberg be destroyed just for the chance of getting his discs back. in the heat of the moment, he says to tubbo— “the discs are worth more than you ever were!” and the second these words leave his mouth, he falls silent, he stops fighting. he realizes what he’s been doing is unhealthy. prioritizing the discs over l’manberg? over his friends, the people that love him?

he says right after this; “i’m worse than everyone i didn’t want to be.” he understands what has happened. he’s been blindly following techno for just a sliver of happiness or approval; and in that he has done horrible things without regard for others the way techno does (torture, hold hostages, terrorism, etc). he knows what he did was wrong. this is tommy “waking up” so to speak, to reality.

instantly he knows he can’t even pretend go against tubbo or destroy his home. he apologizes to techno before he can even fully articulate why— because he likes techno, genuinely, and feels bad that he has to switch sides. (he’s not even mad that techno is destroying l’manberg— he just recognizes he can’t stand for it).

anyway, long story short, tommy decides to stop pursuing the discs and instead side with his family and friends.

techno, feeling betrayed, asks tommy to give him the axe of peace back because “[he] was wrong, [tommy’s] not worthy.”

and tommy, who has just realized he doesn’t need others approval, who now knows that he can be confident in himself as long as he knows that he’s doing the right thing, responds: “no. i am worthy.”

it’s no secret i love this line. people don’t pay attention to it a lot, but i think it’s incredible because it proves just how far tommy has come. he doesn’t need techno’s approval to be worthy, he doesn’t have to do what anyone tells him to do— he just has to follow his heart and do what he knows is morally right.

in this action tommy chooses his family over the discs (which is why i cannot fucking understand the people who claim this scene is him choosing the discs over tubbo when he literally tells tubbo to give dream the disc). he proves himself worthy not only to himself, but it’s also his way of starting his atonement to tubbo for the hurt he’d caused with techno (because tubbo has a right to be angry about that and tommy is sorry).

all of this and more is why i love the fact that tommy kept that axe!

also, i’m kinda sad he buried it, but. hey. it was cool while it lasted

Michael Underscore Beloved Headcannons:

Michael did not speak for the longest time which made both Tubbo and Ranboo worried. He’d make a few pig noises here and there but that was it.

Happy squeals when he was very cheerful, grunts when he was angry, small whines when he was sad.

It was only when he had a big breakdown one day they brought the kid over to Uncle Techno, who began speaking in piglin to him to help him calm down, that they realized he didn’t know English. Technoblade gives him lessons every Tuesday from then on.

The first word he says is ‘Dad’ to both Tubbo and Ranboo at the same time when they were putting him to bed and he didn’t want them to leave yet, still a little scared of the dark. Both of them had that moment where they were both convinced they were the ones who got called ‘Dad’.

Cue little zombie piglin rushing in after a nightmare a few hours later, tears in his eyes as he looks at both of them, and they rush over to comfort him, the piglin hugging them both tearfully. “Dad!”

He has a stuffed animal chicken that he cannot get to sleep without, he calls it ‘mine’ so Tubbo and Ranboo just call the stuffie ‘Michael’s Chicken’.

Michael loves loves LOVES carrots, so much so that he’d find ways to climb on counters and reach high places to grab carrots to munch on, places often even he doesn’t even know how he got up there in the first place.

Tommy, first time babysitting, had no idea what he was in for, and nearly lost him for almost 40 minutes when he was just chilling on top of the fridge.

Speaking of Tommy, he’s Michael’s favorite babysitter by far. Often he’ll ask for more stories of his adventures, and of course Tommy may have twisted them a bit on how cool he really was in a few situations, but Michael loved hearing them. He even drew him and Tommy fighting against a slimy green monster labeled ‘Drem’. Tommy nearly cried when Michael showed him and keeps the drawing in his echest.

When Michael is misbehaving, often Ranboo will just pick him up with his tail and hover him off the ground in a timeout as he wriggles and squirms, crossing his arms angrily. This is the only way that piglin will ever sit still - Tubbo tried telling him to sit in a chair but found him with his hand in the cookie jar five minutes later.

Sometimes Tubbo will go out gathering honey for breakfast (Tubbo loves honey on toast) and bring Michael with him, who’ll sit there, looking up in absolute awe, pointing excitedly. “Bee!”

During something very urgent, Tubbo drops Michael off with Phil as he assures worried Ranboo and Tubbo over and over again that he’s in good hands, since the piglin is not used to being with anyone alone except for Tommy.

Phil spends the day with him playing out in the snow, and while cooking lunch for both of them Phil lets Michael wear his hat, and the piglin just lets out the happiest squeal - “Fil!”

When a snowstorm approaches later as night falls they make a campfire and Phil shows him how to make s’mores. The small piglin ends up passing out on the couch wearing Phil’s hat, and Phil just pulls the blanket up on him. “Night, little mate.”

When Michael gets a cold for the first time Tubbo and Ranboo go into full on PANIC MODE and then when they call up Phil he has to reassure them, no he’s not dying, he’s just sick.

As Techno’s English lessons improve he learns to read and of course Technoblade reads him all the Greek Mythology stories he has, and ends up calling Tommy “Fee-Fee” for Thesesus thanks to some encouragement from the Blade himself.

Bath Time used to always be a struggle until Ranboo found ‘Mr Duck’, an old rubber duckie from Phil’s older things - stuff that he kept from when Wilbur was a baby - that he washed and cleaned which entertained the piglin to no end.

Michael loves shiny things just about as much as he loves carrots, and that’s saying something. He became quite the little thief at taking anything shiny - gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds, Ranboo’s crown - and making a little stash in his room. They eventually broke him of the habit, though his love of gold never really went away.

Tommy once, trying to be the cool uncle, went on a thieving trip for shiny things with Michael, and though many of the things they stole he had to return, he let him keep a gold nugget, which Michael treasured ever since, Tubbo even making the nugget into a necklace he could wear.

Ranboo, being the taller of the two, loves putting Michael up on his shoulders to go on walks, even introducing him to a few endermen after telling him the zombie piglin wasn’t a threat.

Michael was so scared at first, clinging behind Ranboo to his legs, holding out his small wooden play sword in fear. Ranboo knelt down next to him and gently pull away his sword to lay in the snow. “Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be scared...” One of the enderman just comes up to Michael, looking to him in wonder before gently patting his head, letting out a glitched chirp before disappearing. “Where?!” Michael yelled, reaching to grab his sword again before the enderman appears again, making Michael scared and scrambling back into Ranboo’s arms. “It’s okay, it’s okay, look...” Ranboo reassured him as Michael looks over to see the creature offering up a dirt block, tilting its head in curiosity. Michael slowly approached, taking the block as the enderman picked up another and placed it beside the child, letting out another glitched chirp to encourage him. Looking over to his father for a moment, Michael moved to place the dirt next to the enderman’s, looking up to the creature, who leaned down to pat his head again as Michael hugged it tightly. Ranboo had never been more proud of him.

When a few people on the SMP started staring at the dark hole where his right eye should be, (not trying to be mean of course, they’re just a bit shocked when they finally meet him) Michael began to try to hide his face behind his parents more to avoid being seen. They told him that they knew a secret that he couldn’t tell anyone: people stared at him because he was special, so amazingly special that sometimes people were jealous of him and his amazing chicken herding and bravery. He brightened up after that, promising and crossing his heart never to tell, since it could make the others embarrassed. Michael grew more and more confident since then, and his parents could not be more prouder.

They were right. He was special. He was their special boy, and he always would be. <3

———————————

What do you guys think? I’d love to make more of these, I have some ideas/Headcannons of older Michael if you guys are interested!! Hope you enjoyed, I love Michael so far and his place in cannon as well as lore, little tiny zombie piglin boy my beloved-! -Minty

[peachy-rambles]

Thinking about Phil doing all he can to make sure to keep Little One a secret (because he cannot trust anyone on this server with his and Techno's biggest secret), while also trying to pretend everything is normal with him and at the same time try to help Tommy.

(He blames his post-pregnancy hormones and maternal instincts for this sudden need to protect Tommy, but deep down he knows it's more than that.)

Techno stays in the house and guards it while Phil is out. He keeps Little One by his side at all times and makes sure to stay in the safety of the nest. If he has to go outside, he wraps Little One up and carries them with him, Steve and the dogs guarding them.

Techno is the only reason Phil feels safe enough to leave because he knows without a doubt, that Techno will protect Little One with his life if he has to (but it'll never come to that).

And one thing for sure that they both know, is that they can not leave Little One alone and neither Sam or Dream can ever know about them.
