#also cc was friends with sam

[lastnightonthecyclone]

Another fucking wip on fnaf because inconsistency is my skill

[fagkermit]

Just watched a couple episodes out of order and it’s official hes annoying so I’m taking him

[negativepeanuthoarder]

alternate universe where every cc is still friends with Dream and they all have merch cat beanies based on their own individual brands and Dream has one of each and parades them around with pride and they all do huge crossover videos and streams with one another and George got a personal invite to play on the Q.SM.P from his bff Q and Tu.b.bo still doesn’t like Sapnap’s kick deal but they work something out and are still able to be cordial about it and also the USMP exists to play minigames and events on and Q.S.MP players will easily jump from one to the next halfway through stream and they all raid each other when they’re done and Crunchcraft gets new members and that one mob hybrid SMP is a goofy messing around server to try new mods on and just literally play with each other like they’re 10 and logging on to play after school and also JM decides to stop streaming and do something more productive with his time

[sampegger]

@tachylover okay so. before you read this. i need to make it known that the experience i had with this episode was really one of a kind. so basically. i had already been exploring ao3 at this point and as a simple samgirl i was rather intrigued by the amount of sabriel i was seeing, so i read one singular sabriel fic (did NOT look up who gabriel was), thought, "huh! there's a lot of him on ao3! i sure am excited to meet this guy! i wonder when he'll show up :)" and continued on with my night. and. needless to say. i got the answer to who gabriel was with this episode a few weeks later and it. was not what i was expecting.

behold

omg hello everyone. now that i have people following me i would like to also let u all know that i DID in fact document my entire experience as someone watching the cw's supernatural in 2023 by briefly writing my thoughts in my notes app after every single episode in real time. PLEASE ask me to post my real time reaction to any episode and i will very gladly oblige. i have nothing else to do with them please they must go somewhere

I could never understand people who treat DSMP like a dead fandom or feel ashamed of still adoring this piece of media in 2024. After all, isn’t the whole point of enjoying any story to keep it in your heart for years instead of forgetting about it the moment it loses its popularity? How did classical literature or old movies/series survive and remain appreciated until today, for example? The DSMP fandom is alive because there still are people who deeply care about the characters, and it will keep on living until there’s at least one person passionate about it.

It is true that the DSMP fandom was bigger in 2020-2022, but it’s also important to remember the quality of the fanbase at the time. I remember seeing so much more harassment, especially directed towards people interested in portraying c!Prime’s canonically abusive dynamic without even exploring the aspect of /p physical affection; many people were forced to deactivate their accounts because of the insane amount of toxic reactions. There were also A Lot of people incapable of understanding that CC’s characters weren’t supposed to represent their real life personalities, which either led to certain CC’s harassment for being “horrible people” or to misinterpretation of certain characters (e.g. c!Dream, c!George, c!Sapnap, c!Quackity, or c!Sam), a huge amount of poor lore comprehension, leading to Lots of victim-blaming and abuse apologism.

Now that DSMP is over and less popular, a significant amount of people responsible for the fandom’s poor reputation is gone, and people who genuinely understand the characters and simply want to discuss and/or create content for their hyperfixation in peace, stayed. Of course, this fandom isn’t perfect or entirely free of Weird™ people, but there’s certainly less toxicity, and it’s all that matters.

The next time you feel ashamed of still enjoying DSMP, try to remind yourself of the wonderful memories, excitement, creativity boost, and friends it brought you, and focus on the fact that this story will remain alive for as long as you let it.

Changing Channels analysis (cause this episode is so good!)

Let's first talk about Dean and how he relates to TV — and how that also relates to his sexuality!

Near the beginning we see Dean, mouth open, straight on staring at a dramatic medical show. From a character analysis, we see a couple things. Television has shaped so much of Dean's life and how he relates to it and uses it to relate to other people.

Dean uses these tv references to relate to others. But sometimes he tries to hide his viewing habits. During this scene, Dean tries to play off watching the show as a fluke, but even before the facade is lifted later on, he mentions: "I think it's based on a book," this tells us that Dean knows more about this show than he's letting on.

Later on, when Dr. Sexy makes his appearance, Dean is starstruck: blushing, first afraid to look him in the eye. He doesn't seem as fixated on the female doctor, the one notably in the elevator in the first scene. In fact, that character is obsessed with Sam.

It is Dr. Sexy Dean is obsessed with, the one where Dean can't put up the facade, who looks down blushing and sees that his shoes are not his usual sexy cowboy boots. For many people, this is one of the loudest Dean being bi episodes.

Moving on to a slightly related note: Cas

This episode is only a few after Free To Be You and Me and The End. If we take into account Dean and Cas' friendship by the time CC aired, Dean and Cas have become better friends. They worked a case together spending a lot of time together. Then Dean saw Cas in another world follow him to the end — a su*cide mission. And he realizes not only what Cas would do for him but his feelings about Cas may be deeper than he originally thought.

Throughout this entire episode he worries about Cas. He brings up Cas many times, worried about where he is. (At least 3 times it's brought up) And near the end, when they figure out who the trickster really is, one of the first things Dean does is threaten Gabriel to bring Cas back.

Dean was worried about losing Cas. He had to experience it in The End and I don't think he was ready to lose him again.

During the Japanese game show, the host also calls Cas "pretty boy angel" leading to a series of facial expressions on Dean's face. These expressions can be read as Dean realizing that Cas is pretty. Another example of both Dean's bisexuality and his feelings about Cas. Cas is also part of the reason Dean figures out who the trickster really is.

When Cas comes back for the second time and the trickster shows up, the trickster shows his cards. Cas says "if it is the trickster," then Gabe recognizing Castiel, and being so adamant about the apocalypse, Dean figures it out. I love this moment because sometimes SPN capitalizes on making Dean dumb for laughs, but this is a moment of Dean's brilliance. Also notable is that Gabriel is aware of who Castiel is. Castiel was not a worker bee angel, he led a garrison, he was tasked with getting the righteous man out of Hell. Gabriel and Cas are one of the few angels to fall and choose humanity over angels.

Cinematography

I wouldn't be me if I didn't mention the amazing cinematography that SPN can have. Angel fire shots are always so pretty and can cast a sinister light on the subject. This episode goes from a light-hearted sitcom to once of the biggest reveals of the season.

The light wallpaper and bright lights turn into a dark and dreary wet pipe factory matching the tones of the reveal. Sam and Dean were not aware of their roles in the apocalypse fully until this episode. They knew that Dean started the seals and Sam releasing Lucifer, but not about being vessels. Out of a sense of guilt and duty, the boys are trying to stop the apocalypse in their own way. But now they have this heavy weight on them, not only are they vessels but their fate is for one of them to kill the other. Even with this knowledge, Dean says no, they won't kill each other. Their siblingship is strong here even after the short break up of a few episodes here.

While CC starts off as a fun romp, when we look deeper, it is full of great character analysis of the TFW. I love it.

cc!Dream is a puppy, but I'm ready to fight for fact that c!Dream is a CAT!

He pretends that he doesn’t need anyone, that he can handle it on his own, and then he simply comes to his loved one for comfort and affection (yes, I’m talking about Punz).

He is upset that Techno rejected him (and I understand Dream), he literally sounds like a cat who was coldly and harshly thrown from his warm lap and his sweet slumber was interrupted. He is betrayed and does not understand what he did to deserve this from the person he trusted and who was safe for him.

Dream organizes a manhunt because games bring kittens closer together, building family bonds.

He climbs trees and sleeps anywhere, and especially likes to lie and bask in the sun on the roof of a Community house.

I'm sure he hisses at people and walks silently, scaring everyone and everything.

He tries to spend a lot of time with each friend, mostly he follows them around and watches (like with Puffy), or chats animatedly and asks a lot of questions (like with Sam when he's building something), or sleeps nearby, or maybe directly on a person (as with George and Sapnap).

Although Dream wears a mask most of the time, it’s difficult to notice how he looks at you and blinks slowly, but this is how he shows love.

He also watches how people eat and guards them during meals, either eating everything first or after the others.

Dislikes enclosed spaces and prefers to have access to all rooms (he hates that he built Pandora's main chamber so small).

He loves soft things, so he always wears things that are comfortable and pleasant to the touch. (He hates that Pandora doesn't even have a bed.)

He loves meat, and sometimes eats it raw (this saves time!!). Considers attempts to replace meat with artificial meat a crime.

Loves water, and especially dolphins and playing with them. Their energy and speed match his own and give him the opportunity to not hold back.

P.S. This is a mix of headcanons and my attempt to show that c!Dream is a cat.

OKAY OKAY, SO. Thank you to @/ultra-raging-ghost for straightening out a bit of the BBH lore timeline for me, because now that I know dsmp egg lore and the qsmp take place in the same universe, I'm going to go crazy and take advantage of it at every moment possible.

In the dsmp, Bad started getting memory problems after being fully under the egg’s influence. He’d have visual and auditory hallucinations (presumably, as reportedly c!Skeppy reacted to Sam Bucket as just another of Bad’s "imaginary friends"). Bad would also have drastic mood swings, from being terrified of the egg, to trying to lure people down towards it. Foolish would have to ask Bad "are you yourself?" Sam seemingly understood that Bad was unstable as well, and thought that Bad was imagining Sam Bucket.

So now we have the qsmp, which is an unknown amount of time after the dsmp egg arc. The last time we saw everyone involved, Skeppy had tried (and succeeded) to secretly lure all of Bad’s friends to the egg so that it could hatch; he made a deal to keep Bad safe if he did that. Unfortunately Bad was still caught up in the crossfire, and a freshly egg-ified Puffy began hacking him with an axe.

So Bad made it out alive with Skeppy somehow.

Bad also became colourless when he was fully corrupted under the egg. Maybe when he has really strong devastating emotions, he's more suseptible to corruption (i.e., the soul vultures infecting him, and his loss of red).

Bad has recently had drastic mood swings, such as scaring Missa (much like he did to people when under the egg), killing Bobniho and not remembering, ect. ect. The time Cucurucho invaded his house is also something we don't yet know was real or not. Bad still seems somewhat suseptible to hallucinations and memory loss. I don't know how much of this cc!Bad plans to be connected, and if q!Bad is experiencing all of this for purely different reasons. But I’m still not over egg lore, so here we are, and maybe even if q!Bad has these issues for a different reason, perhaps he’s more suseptible to it after what he went through under the egg. I wouldn’t be surprised if little bits of his attitude changed because of his corruption.

q!Skephalo better look out, because now I have even more of an excuse to keep torturing them with egg lore, and not just the delusions and voices in my head 👍

— BOTTLED UP

summary : wilbur's budding music career has undergone a multitude of changes since he first started. fortunately for him, you are not one of them.

genre : fluff

warnings : i guess there's one part that's slightly suggestive?? mentions of a makeout i guess, wilbur has a few Anxiuos moments, mentions of alcohol/drinking

pairing : cc!musician! wilbur soot x reader, musicianbur x reader

pronouns : none (you/yours)

featuring : cc!musician! wilbur soot

requested : Helloo! Could you write something where Wilbur's favorite thing to soothe his pre-show anxiety is to plant loving, relaxed kisses down the reader's neck in just a really silly way?

word count : 1.1k

note : maybe a tad too much worldbuilding, but what else do you expect from me let me LIVE

Whoever wrote “the lights are so bright but they never blind me,” clearly had not been to Sam’s. It was a dingy little joint with insane prices, but it was the closest pub to Wilbur’s flat and they gave Wilbur $50 a night to play guitar and sing a few covers. The lights directed at the “stage” in that place were enough to convince Wilbur he didn’t need glasses anymore because his vision was shot. 

He’d get up there, perform to a crowd of about twenty people (some of them were sober too!) and then crash before 9 ready to get up for his early morning retail shift.

It was a pretty good life, especially when you considered he’d just moved out of home and was also taking online classes for uni. Plus, there was his number one fan sitting at the bar every Thursday, sending him flirty looks and paying for his water.

He’d come along way since Sam’s. Performing at real venues, songs he’d written, not sweating buckets under lights so strong he could barely make out the shape of you at the bar (not usually).

That part never changed. You moved positioning with each venue. Oftentimes you were in the pit of people, off to the side with the less jumpy patrons. As they graduated to venues with seats and a real stage, you’d be off backstage with a bottle of water and a hug available (no matter how sweaty he was). 

It had been hard, his first few shows at Sam’s. Just a kid with a beat up acoustic guitar that was barely legally able to buy the alcohol he needed to even get up on stage. Said stage, a stool in the corner with a microphone that did more harm than good. There were panic attacks right at the beginning, quite a number of them. He would show intermittently. Slots at Sam’s were on a weekly basis, so some weeks he simply wouldn’t show up and ask for a slot. His anxiety would get the better of him, and then after a month, he’d suddenly regain his ego and he’d be back at it. In addition to the money from the owner (not named Sam), a lot of the patrons would leave tips for him with the bar manager (coincidentally named Sam), some weeks he would leave with over $250 for three days of playing. That would keep him going, he’d play for a few weeks and then someone would roll their eyes while Wilbur was talking and he would feel physically ill any time he even thought about picking up his guitar. 

But then, you showed up. It was during one of his ego boosts, he’d finally saved up for that electric guitar he’d lusted after for months. You had been dragged out by a friend who promptly ditched you upon seeing a cute girl from one of her classes. He’d seen you before, at student services. All his classes were online, but registration hadn’t been, and you worked the desk at student services for some extra cash. He’d tried to find you on social media but with just your first name on your nametag, it had been fruitless. He didn’t want a relationship anyway, he was fine with his friends, and his coworkers and his electric guitar, he didn’t have the energy for a relationship.

At least, that was what he said before he was dragging you out the service entrance to kiss you that first night, you laughing airily. He wanted to bottle that sound, needed it more than any liquid courage Sam could possibly overcharge him for. 

And thus, a new pre-show routine was born. A quick kiss before going back to his stool turned into a backstage hug as his crowds evolved from bargoers into fans - people who paid tickets just to hear his music.

Just a kid with his acoustic guitar was suddenly four guys with a two hundred million streams on spotify. Wilbur didn’t feel any different. He was still… just a guy. He’d swapped out his guitar, traded covers for originals, Sam’s service corridor for an actual dressing room.

The venue supported nearly a thousand people, and their manager had said they managed to seel over 80% of the tickets. That was an unfathomable amount of people to Wilbur. He’d quit his job and changed his act, but right before he went out there he was wracked with the same anxiety.

You were right beside him, your elbow tucked into his. His fingers fiddled with yours, nervous energy radiating off of him. He pulled you close, closing his eyes against the chattering from the audience, pressing a kiss to your temple.

“You’re alright,” you hummed, voice light. That same airyness he’d started to crave over the last six years skipping right past his nerves and planting itself right beside his heart, right along with the rest of you. 

He planted another kiss on your temple, then beside your left eye. You were half-sitting on a vanity, the weight of your boyfriend comforting as you traced letters up and down his arm. “I know, darling,” he whispered, breath tickling your cheek as he planted another three kisses as he moved his way down to your jawline. His mouth ghosted up and down your neck as the band manager called out five minutes until opening from the hallway. You squeezed his hand as his lips came to a stop where your neck met your shoulder. He sat there for a moment, peppering that one spot with chaste kisses. 

“You have to get out there, go meet the guys,” If he didn’t know you, he’d think you were trying to be stern. Your voice was firm, but still oh so light. Just like the kisses, over and over on the same spot of your shoulder. He hummed in recognition, and the two of you stood there for a second. His mouth connected with your shoulder again and, before you could stop him, Wilbur let out a large exhale, the vibrations on your skin letting out a loud sound that startled you. You pushed him off, laughing through faux-disgust. 

“Wilbur!” He was laughing too, giddy smile beaming at you. He heard final call and knew his time with you was limited. He gravitated back towards you, mouth hovering over yours for one last kiss before he had to get out there. You gladly met him halfway, and he could feel the curve of your smile against his. “You got this.”

He smiled breathlessly at you as frantic knocking began on the dressing room door. He probably did, he’d be fine. Even if you were wrong and he didn’t “got this,” he had you, which was just as important.

Why are you so angry toward Tony? Why do you call him names? If you honestly believe Sam and Cait are together, Tony is a non-issue. The only reason to be offended is if you want Sam and Cait to together, but you know she is with Tony, abd you feel he is between them. Your anger and rudeness the man shows you know the truth of their marriage, family and your bitterness she didn't choose Sam as a mate.

Dear Calling Names Anon,

I am not the one being angry, here: you are. You are so angry, in fact, that in your haste to hopefully bash me, you typed 'abd' instead of 'and' (also because you are on your phone) and you ate both a verb (if you want Sam and Cait to be together) and a preposition ( 'anger and rudeness towards the man'). Both lapsus calami (that's 'slip of the pen', for you) are very telling - mais, passons (that's French, for you: I know it pisses you off and I am so glad it does, every single time!).

I have read so many times the glorious POS you dutifully copied and pasted in that Anon box, that this time I knew I had to answer you, once and for all. You and the one who wrote this down first and then you all dutifully followed - no critical skills and never did have any.

I am not angry toward McIdiot. I am derisive and dismissive of the very lucrative part he agreed to play in that 🎪. As is, he is still a social zero and nowhere to be seen, unless she brings him along, but only at events where she knows virtually no one. No matter how hard you try to present him in an extravagant light, his real situation is well known, based on public records. Conversely, you are angry and contemptuous towards S, who has his own businesses and takes risks and makes a thousand mistakes. But who, unlike your hero here, is alive. McIdiot, that character paraded in front of us, comes across as a profiteer. Maybe McGill is a nice person. Maybe he is friends with C. McIdiot, the part he's been given in this shitshow, is anything but nice, interesting or attractive.

I call him McIdiot, that is true. You lie all day long about S, spreading lies and calumnies and innuendoes that cost him a LOT in the past. What you did had consequences IRL. Yes, you and your little harmless coterie, including its 455 Twitter and Tumblr sock accounts. You knowingly hurt someone who did absolutely nothing to you and 'rude' doesn't even start to describe your reckless attitude. What moral right have you to come here and give me lessons? That's rich, coming from people who repeatedly called me a liar, an idiot, assured their flock I was several other persons. Same people who, overall, take a sick, cheap pleasure of calling shippers either 'worms' or 'the mental ward'. So what the hell did you expect, coming here? A fucking welcoming committee? A potluck of revelations?

I do not want S&C to be together. I know S&C are together. You know it, too: otherwise you wouldn't be here screeching like a maniac in front of a closed door. You then proceed to assume knowing what I think and lecture me about what I should be thinking, instead: a very poor rhetorical strategy, indeed and a sure sign of confusion. For your information, McIdiot's absurdity will always be an issue, irrespective of their real status. And you are correct: I know a fairly consistent part of the truth about her 'family' and 'marriage'. What irks you is that I chose not to discuss many things I know in here and certainly not with you. You see, I have a personal policy, Anon: I don't share secrets with cowards. Ever.

You make me think of these harmless fools standing in the rain in Hyde Park's Speakers' Corner, who preach the imminent end of the world in front of an empty alley, Anon. Better go home: maybe Moo will make you a cuppa, once you get there.

Just saw a thumbnail for a commentary YouTuber commenting on the ‘dream vs Connor’ situation, and it was awful. The comments however seem to be proving that the greater internet is finally starting to see all these fake CCs for what they are, and also how horrid the treatment of Dream is. So I guess that’s nice, cause YouTube is where the core fanbase is for Dteam and seeing a majority of them on their side right now is amazing.

Irrelevant CCs continue to prove one thing. They’re irrelevant for a reason. Their entire content is based on shitting on someone els-which is fleeting, and adhering to a mob that will turn its back on them the second they make a mistake. And none of them can handle being in dreams shoes, cause they get just a teeniest taste and cave immediately.

They couldn’t make the drituation stick, and the gogcident seems to be more on George’s side now, everyone is airing out petty grievances against Dteam, and they’re all looking like fools. I could cry. We’ve waited for days like this. The Brighton bastards pissed off the commentary YouTubers, which is NOT something you want to do. I never thought I’d see the day. Twitter is still Twitter, but everywhere else is starting to realize things.

Caiti shot herself in the foot by taking this whole thing public, and her friends solidified the beginning of the end for her by doing what they did. George may have “lost” on Twitter, and some of his “friends” may have publicly turned on him, but her career is done. She lost her passion and outside of Twitter, no one really believes a word she says.

Who knew it’d take a misguided, reactionary 19 year old to catapult the general public opening their eyes to the vitriol Dteam has been facing for years? And her friends airing out their petty grievances was the nail in the coffin. I said continuously during my four years in this fandom that the tides will change for Dream, and people will be making exposés on how the internet treated him. I don’t think it’s quite that time yet, but we are getting close.

I feel for Caiti in the sense that losing your passion for something you once loved sucks. I’ve been there and it’s awful. But she brought it upon herself the second she removed her autonomy in the situation and didn’t even listen to George’s response. That is the bare minimum of what she should have done, and she didn’t, so she created her own end, albeit probably unintentionally.

To the anon doom posting about Sapnap leaving George, go back to Twitter or TikTok. That energy isn’t wanted here. If Sapnap and George didn’t leave Dream during the drituation, they’re not going to leave George when he makes a mistake. They’ve all clearly stated they love each other, and having known each other for over a decade, it would take a lot to lose a friendship that deep and with that kind of longevity. We were walking on eggshells for a bit, but that’s his brother. Take your doomposting elsewhere.

Sorry this is more of a ramble; had a lot to say and needed a place to go with it. Appreciate my morning tea, always.

One last thing.

It will never be Dteamover.

Proud dteamolo right here. (With the caveat of Sam cause he’s never wavered from those boys)

-L :)

always a pleasure to hear from you L!

And yeah I am surprised to hear that apparently youtube is taking Dream's side with the connor stuff (so far?) but I will take a win no nonetheless!

Crazy how much this has spiraled but at least people are giving dteam at least a TINY benefit of doubt now

[freyfall]

saw a post the other day about how the dsmp fandom doesnt pay attention to any of quackity's relationships other than the romantic ones (also specifically shitting on quacksicle) and tbh while I think it's a valid point to talk about because quackity has so many other important relationships, you do realize that his romantic relationships (at least the arguably canon ones - specifically referring to fiances and schlackity though I guess you could argue tntduo but I'm personally not arguing that) like, completely inform a major part of his character?????????? It's about like. showing vulnerability to people and getting screwed over for it.

AND, perhaps the key part here, is that quackity and slimecicle follow in this pattern of quackity showing vulnerability to someone he has a close relationship with and then that relationship falling the fuck apart. so I don't know if it's necessarily off the mark to say that, in a sense, quacksicle was implied to be the same strain of relationship that q had with schlatt and karl and sapnap (and perhaps also wilbur) and that may or may not be romantic.

like, a platonic reading of it isn't incorrect (in fact it is probably the MORE correct version if I'm being realistic about cc intentions, etc) but like, the subtext isn't NOT there imo. Shrugs

anyways the op was right in that the entire other half of q's character is heavily informed by his nonromantic relationships - like. the entirety of LN (foolish, fundy, PURPLED) everything with the prison (sam, DREAM!) and also the friends he had in earlier dsmp days (tommy, eret, p sure bbh, this list can be added to but I wasn't a big early q watcher so this is all I got). (also, like, tntduo, but tntduo exists in the weird grey area yknow.)

anyways I love c!quackity and all of his relationships. they're all so fucking good

hello, it is i, sam (any pronouns), a new simblr. 🐸✨

well, not really, since i had a simblr last year but i deactivated it bc i was too busy in college (i still am busy due to me working on my thesis film), and i've been posting for a few days already. i came back upon hearing about the for rent pack referencing southeast asian food and culture. if i see a filipino reference, i wear my biggest pair of sunnies, pull out my philippine flag, and wave it as a colorful array of fireworks explode behind me. /j

i plan to keep my style mostly maxis mix. i'm also going to post mostly random screenshots and some cas lookbooks and portraits. if i'll post anything gameplay-related, expect it to be a bit odd. chaotic. not-so-organized. silly, even. perhaps i'll even make bad cc in the future. btw that's my sim, tina fish, and she has a daughter, tuna. yes i plan to name everyone after food.🐟

feel free to follow and reblog, i'd like to make friends and mutuals here again. we can talk about the endless bugs that makes the sims 4 so annoying and occasionally funny, and much more (*cough* honkai star rail *cough*).

[one-chaotic-neautral]

Heyo, just saw your post about the mcyt/sbi atla au and i was wondering if you could possibly share your plans? I just love the idea of an atla au and want to hear more!! Like; what kind of bender is everyone? Etc, etc,,,,

Please don't feel pressured to answer if you don't want to! Thank you! :D

Oh I'd love to talk about this! thanks for asking :D

Atm the Benders I have decided are:

Waterbender -

Technoblade

Charlie

Firebender -

Nikki (or waterbender)

Jackmanifold

Earthbender -

Tubbo

Eret

Sam

Airbender -

Philza

Quackity

Nonbender -

Schlatt

Wilbur (It's been a few years, not sure how comfortable I am including him in this AU now)

TBD

Tommy

Ranboo

Captainpuffy (earth or waterbender?)

+ any other CC's people think would be cool to add, feel free to suggest some i've forgotten or not thought of!

It's Sbi Centric, so mostly centred around Tommy, Techno, Phil, Tubbo, Ranboo and Nikki, but I'd like to flesh out the others involvement in it.

When I first made the AU I was obsessed with c!Technoblade, so most development is on him cause he is my favourite.

I originally had a poll on reddit about some of the types they'd be, and a lot of people thought Techno would be a firebender or earthbender, until I brought up Bloodbending as a part of Waterbending (Blood for the Blood God!).

It's not only the boodbending though, considering waterbending is the most versatile bending technique and probably has the most potential for someone who's creative and willing to abuse every use of a mechanic, which Technoblade is 100% going to do. The ability to create weapons out of Ice is something I have for him, as well as potions existing in this universe (basically liquid drugs absorbed through the skin) which he carries around.

^ The current redesign, I'll probably make a more detailed post when I finish it.

I had an idea that he'd have Albinism in this Au, making his eyes red instead of blue (which'll tie into his backstory) and he wears the Boar head not just for intimidation and the pig motif, but cause it kinda also works as a hat and sunglasses combo to protect his eyes and skin from the sunlight.

Phil Is definitely an Airbender due to his partiality to flying, and the crow motifs. people were pretty much in agreement about that.

He's an old friend of Techno's, and the only person he trusts. Originally I had his design as kinda silly with a missive broad-brimmed hat, that worked like a parachute. But I decided to replace that with (probably black) glider like wings, made of solid, light wood or metal poles and fabric.

He has his own backstory stuff, which is why he wears his typical green (earth kingdom clothing) instead of airbender colours, cause he is no longer affiliated with his homeland and uses more local garb. Him and Techno both travel around a lot between kingdoms, but not always together.

Tommy I've had a hard time deciding on, I considered airbender because of his more energetic nature, and in Origins smp he is an Avian and vegetarian, but he really wouldn't fit in with airbenders in universe, which i could tie into the plot similarly to Phil. I initially wanted him to be a firebender, which is still a strong contender.

^ The first design I did for the au in 2021, which used to be set in the dsmp universe i think, or at least had his clothes from there.

I also considered him being the Avatar, considering tommy takes on the protagonist role a lot. if he were then Techno, phil and tubbo could have been his element teachers, but I don't think I'll go with that anymore as it just doesn't feel right.

A few people seem to be inclined towards him being a nonbender in the poll from yesterday, which I think is an idea I could explore.

Wilbur I'd originally had as a nonbender, tho a lot of people liked the idea of firebender, but I thought a nonbender thief and conman who relied on charisma and manipulation instead of bending. He took Tommy under his wing as a pickpocket and scammer, which leads into Tommy's plot. (I still don't know whether to include Wilbur in this au, cause I don't like the CC anymore, but the character could be seperated from him, I just feel weird about it.)

Tommy's introduction was going to be that him and Techno met (and subsequently Philza) after tommy was bold enough to steal from Techno, who caught him but decided to spare him.

Tubbo is definitely an Earthbender, it just makes sense to his personality and everything. I feel like it could also tie into redstone, with that being a kind of rock and exists in this Au, similar to how Potions exist. (In the same vein I think Sam would be an earthbender, and Sam and Eret and both big builders so I think Earthbending suits that cause its the best for construction)

Nikki I think I've decided is a Firebender if we're going off her Dsmp plot, she initially was seen as a harmless weak bender who used it for baking, but she actually is quite skilled (Which Techno and Phil recognise later and ask her to join them) and has a more violent side, like burning down the L'mantree and hunting down tommy (which likely doesn't happen in this AU, but will have equivalents or aspects of that part of her character). I also considered waterbending if we took it from her Origins smp character, who is a mermaid, but I feel like theres less potential for lore there.

Ranboo I have no idea. my first thought was a waterbender who's afraid of water, but I'm not sure. Or half Earthbender/firebender cause of his eyes. It could be that he doesn't know due to his amnesia. I also considered Avatar for him, which fits his character imo, and is discovered later after befriending tubbo and tommy, and them + techno, phil and nikki could teach him their elements. But I haven't really gotten onto him yet and will probably make a poll for him soon.

I may add more but I think I'll leave it here for now, I hope that answered any questions and feel free to ask more! It helps me think about and flesh out the different aspects of the world :)

I'll likely post the updated art soon, I've already done a rough Techno and Tommy first interaction.

Happy Simblr Gratitude Day!!

There's so many amazing people that I follow, and I know I can never name them all, so if you don't get mentioned on this list, PLEASE don't feel bad. I know for a fact that I'm going to miss some incredible people.

(under the cut for length)

@simlit - possibly the best "bachelor challenge" to ever exist. An incredible story with compelling characters, excellent writing, and stunning visuals. I binge-read all of COTS in one day, and whenever it updates, it's the highlight of my day.

@simgerale - Miranda is so incredibly talented. She makes the most beautiful sims, and her story Regal that just finished recently might just be my favorite story anyone has ever posted on tumblr. I've been following it since more or less day one. Also her legacy family is ADORABLE.

@softpine - the last of my top 3 stories on simblr. Everything Brandi writes is so incredibly detailed and filled with so much love. There is so much nuance and detail that goes into all of her posts, and all of her characters are delightfully complex. I binge-read the entirety of Camellia over two days, and it was a DELIGHTFUL experience.

@potionio - Omen makes some of the most amazing sims I've ever seen. Everything they make is GORGEOUS, from sims to builds to edits. Amazing alt fashion and spooky vibes all around. Also just an awesome friend.

@panicsimss - another amazing spooky simmer. Panic has gorgeous OCs, and I love everything she makes. Poppy and Hudson have my heart!!

@salemssimblr - Ash makes incredible renders, and is also just very kind. She's an awesome friend, and I'm so glad to have met them!!

@goldenwaves - Izzy is another incredible render-maker and editor. They also are the creator of some of the most fun and interesting dnd ocs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with and hearing about. Plus, her new story Heartbreakers is super awesome!!

@wileyfern - They post adorable gameplay, and their legacy family has been going strong for a long time now. Her current heir, Ocean, is super fun to follow!

@void-critters - Jay makes amazing edits and has some amazing dnd ocs that I love hearing about. They're also super kind and a great friend.

@warwickroyals - Ayanna's story is one of the only royal simblr stories I really follow very closely on here, and for good reason!! The level of nuance and commentary that goes into her story is very special. If you're going to follow a royal simblr, let it be this one!! Plus some very cool cc!!

@heartblobs - A very lovely historical simmer who just recently started a new decades challenge!! Ellie's current family is super cute, and I can't wait to see them grow!

@wildmelon - Lush makes some of the most gorgeous sims I've ever seen, as well as amazing edits!!! Also a critical role fan, which makes me happy.

@rebouks - Somnium very quickly became one of my favorite stories on simblr, and now Forever In Between is following in the foorsteps! Becca has adorable sims, and blends an excellent mix of gameplay and storytelling. She's also an INCREDIBLE pose maker.

@ghostputty - Ky makes INCREDIBLE edits, including those very famous eye edits. Also, their story, Deck of Fate, is fascinating, and I can't wait to read more!!

@raiiny-bay - Rai makes amazing renders, and their Monster Boys universe and lore is FASCINATING. I could read about the zombie boys for hours!

@arcanewonder - Sara's renders are on a whole 'nother level. Truly nothing compares. The fantasy vibes are immaculate! Plus, her simblreen treats from years past have saved my ass in decorating the castle for RTQ/ATQH.

@barbieaiden - Sam makes some of the most awesome renders I've ever seen, not to mention his stunning story and intriguing OCs. I love Sam and Aiden, am morbidly fascinated with Tristan and Kas, and am eagerly awaiting the day I get to hear about his pirate OCs.

@rainymoodlet - Shan's sims are all GORGEOUS, but Dan is truly the best of them all. Dan's bachelor challenge, KMIK, is amazing, and even though my boy may be out of the running, I'm very invested to see who ends up stealing Dan's heart.

@samssims - Sam is a pillar in this community. Her NSB family captured my heart right away, and her unique method of storytelling is so cool. Not to mention her poses, which are a must-have!

@laeska - Makes some of the best hairs in the community, and all totally free!! Her simblreen gifts this year were amazing, and I have all of her cc in my game.

@retro-plasma - Corn's sims are beautiful, and their gameplay posts are stunning! They truly have a talent for making things come alive!

@omgkayplays - A truly incredible simblr. Stunning builds, mindboggling edits, drop-dead-gorgeous sims, and a fascinating story are all reasons to give Kay a follow.

@seaslugsims - Their story is awesome, their cc is amazing and very useful, plus they're super kind and amazing!!!

@simandy - Ellen is literally the first simblr I followed, back when I joined this hellsite 5+ years ago. Her cc is amazing, and absolutely a must-have in my game.

I know I've missed people, but I think I've hit my limit on tagging people. Either that or tumblr's just throwing a fit at how long this post is. Either way, each and every person I follow deserves a spot on this list, so don't feel bad at all if I missed you!!! I follow over 400 people, all of whom are amazing.

[layalu]

for the oc questions, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 15 and 49 :]

[ask game]

Thank you Roscoe!! <3

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

answered here (Sam) but Stormyrain is another long-time fave :] She was a First in a bunch of ways, someone who got me back into rping way back and who was kind of my gateway to meeting a lot of people and cool new experiences!! I'm also just. super attached to her in general and do still reuse her/derivatives of her sometimes (the most recent one is Jamie) :)

this one's a more recent one from oc-tober

4. A character you rarely talk about?

answered here and here for Jamie and Noya, so imma go with Renan for this one! Because i DO also talk to little about them fr. Guy with an inherent thematic connection to death. Who cares lots but feels isolated and is scared of losing people over and over.

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

ngl in my books a bunch of them are popular already. like. people have drawn them!! and even talked about To Other People Who Are Not Me once or twice??? which is WILD it's so amazing when people like your silly little guys and i am sending you love for one thousand years. But anyways in terms of Large Scare Popular. None lmaoo i don't want to subject any of my brain blorbos to any sort of bigger fandom.

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?

fhdkslfj well i can't not answer this one with Des, i dub her my sunshine girl all the time <3 There is more to her than just being happy, mind, but a) she brings me a lot of joy, b) she is sun-coloured, and c) a big part of her is that she manages to keep finding love and beauty in life Despite Everything and inspires that in others, too.

^ cute old drawing i have of her :]

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot

SO SO MANY. the house in my brain has many permanent residents who are not my own brain children. But. hmm. Between seeing him in the DAV CC and the one codex prompt recently Caleb from @brainwormterrarium's brain has been on my mind again recently. Thedas's most normalest guy. I am also very normal about him (lying)

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?

YESS 10000% !!!! it is sustenance for my soul i love talking OCs with friends. Nothing like being insane about your brain blorbos together

49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes

OH a BUNCH of them fjsdlfjls but June would probably be the most involved and up to date with meme culture. Jamie has one favourite meme that she overuses to hell and back (it's the marine biologist one). Liam unironically laughs at facebook mom memes. And so on xd
