#also why did I make it in the ice biome

Finally

She has a town inside her ❤❤❤

This sure took a while, but I think this is a very nice way to end this year ;p

Also this is the first time ever I did pixel art in terraria (or pretty much everywhere), and the gemspark palette here is rather limited ^^'

Here is the original btw ;3 (I didn't want to go into the underground, so no yoyo, and her thighs got cut off ^^')

The sauce :3

[myslutwritings]

Playing minecraft headcanons with the uppermoons (+Muzan & Enmu)

this will be a modern!AU (they’re still demons tho)

•

•

•

(this is also my first post lmao)

Muzan

okay it takes a HELL ton of convincing to have Muzan himself play with you.

he views any sort of game as ‘dumb’ or ‘childish’

you try to remind him that it’s not in the slightest but it doesn’t do anything much (bro is stubborn)

he’s the demon king? why should he associate himself with the idiotic games mortals play?

eventually he goes give in (bc he loves you in his own weird demonic way..)

strictly on survival mode. doesn’t care what you do but he sees creative mode as a ‘easy way out’ and he wants to be a hard ass (no surprises here)

kills any mob in sight and any mob that comes near you (claims he does it because he’s the demon king and wants to overpower everything and everyone but in reality he just wants to look out for you)

loses his SHIT when he gets dies in the game (triggers his fear of death lol)

you made a joke about him being like the mobs in minecraft because they burn in the sunlight (like him)

he doesn’t play with you after that but he secretly enjoyed spending time with you! (shh, you’ll never hear it from him)

Kokushibo

doesn’t take too much convincing (thank god)

he lowkey enjoys trying out new things with you! you’ve always done everything for him so the least he can do is return the favor.

probably doesn’t really understand it at first so you gotta explain the game to him

gets frustrated easily in the game but it’s more of a silent rage. you take notice of it because his body language changes so it’s not exactly difficult to spot.

like muzan he’ll kill anything that goes near you. (he’s protective even in the game)

most likely will envy your game abilities. (it’s okay you’ll teach him!)

you find it cute that he’s so serious about it sometimes

The both of y’all share jobs in the game and end up creating a lovely little house!

spoiler alert he burns it down after he finds out you can burn things in the game. he did it for no reason whatsoever.

you don’t really mind all that much though. you’re just grateful you got to play with him!

Douma

douma loves and i mean LOVES playing with you!!

this man is bored. (like all the time) so doing something like this will definitely keep him occupied! but he may grow bored quickly because that’s just how he is.

he still adores playing with you though and wants to do it again!

he’ll praise you for how great you are at the game. literally head over heals for you<33

the type of mf to pick up a flower (specifically a rose) and drop it at your feet in the game.

pouts like a toddler when you don’t notice it:((

“Y/N?! didn’t you see the flower i dropped right in front of you!”

he’s clingy even in the game and will follow you around EVERYWHERE.

he is jealous of your building skills and begs you to build him a house💀

Douma’s fav biome is probably the ice plains spikes biome. anything that has to do with snow or ice!

he too also gets frustrated in the game sometimes and SUCKS at hiding it. he doesn’t have outbursts though (surprisingly)

most likely will rizz you up even in the fucking game😭

then after like a few hours of playing he gets bored and either wants to eat (women) or cuddle with you. (maybe both)

Akaza

Akaza is the most interesting to play with out of them all (because he’s just so goofy when playing)

the only thing that’s annoying is that he’ll chase danger quite literally for fun. he will fight anything. I MEAN ANYTHING.

i pity the mobs who (tried) to attack you..

game rage? it’s in his veins. (it’s semi-amusing to witness him get pissed off)

make sure he doesn’t punch a hole in your TV or your computer (whatever you play on) that shits expensive.

like during his battles bro uses only his fists to kill everything. weapons? nah. pro is anti-weapons. uses his fists for quite literally everything and will throw a fit when he dies.

he’ll praise you whenever you kill anything though! (he’s a sweetheart like that)

he’s like a guard dog even in the silly game. (over protective is an understatement)

he attempts to build you a house (it isn’t too horrible, surprisingly)

one time when the two of you were mining deep within the caves for diamonds Akaza found some and broke/mined it with his fist. (you got so pissed)

he apologized and found you some new ones though! thankfully, he didn’t use his fists to break the block this time.

overall, Akaza really does enjoy playing with you! he grows fond of it and now playing minecraft with him is one of y’all’s favorite things to do together<33

Hantengu Clones

(i’m writing the four of them all together because i’m lazy)

want to know what’s more than chaotic? playing some challenging game with 4 very emotional demons.

At first Sekido immediately rejects the idea of playing the game with you and his three other brothers (the hantengu clones are brothers in this AU)

After a shit ton of persistent begging from you and Karaku and Urogi he only submits in the end and plays (mostly because of you)

Karaku and Urogi literally are beefing the entire time (Sekido’s rage is at it’s boiling point because of those two jackasses)

Aizetsu cries like a baby whenever he accidentally kills anything (except for the mobs)

whenever he sees a mob his scaredy-cat ass sprints away in the opposite direction.

Urogi and Karaku bully him RELENTLESSLY for this. (Aizetsu is a victim)

Urogi is the type to secretly go into creative mode grab a shit tone of diamonds or netherite and is like; “Heyy, lookie what i found!!”

no one falls for his bullishit.

they all protect you in the game and show off in front of you. (it’s embarrassing)

Karaku is surprisingly good at the game but like Akaza he’ll chase danger for fun.

Aizetsu only feels safe around you so he’ll follow you around and cling to you in the game so his two brothers stop harassing him.

Sekido only plays for a few minutes before getting aggravated and just abandoning the game as a whole.

(he is the type to punch everyone playing the game. even you sometimes but Karaku and Urogi mostly fall victim to his attacks)

Sekido surprisingly leaves Aizetsu alone.

the five of you try to create a world where it’s just peaceful (Keep on dreaming, kid. that ain’t happening)

everything goes downhill, half of the world is ENTIRELY demolished and all of you died over 1000 times.

playing with all of them is too chaotic. you can’t really take it seriously. You only can when you’re playing with one of the clones one on one.

y’all didn’t play again after that madness. 😭

Gyutaro

now Gyutaro here is the only chill one to play with. (finally a normal one)

like Kokushibo, it doesn’t take that much convincing! in fact, he agrees to it almost immediately.

at first he is confused and doesn’t understand how to play minecraft but he is a quick learner and figures it out on his own.

Gyutaro doesn’t have a preference for survival or creative mode. He just does whatever you want.

Whenever y’all play in a survival world you two share tasks and duties and actually create a pretty decent looking world!

he still has your back though. Will kill any mobs that interfere with his little home he created with you.

he enjoys building houses and is surprisingly really amazing at it! he finds comfort in building.

however, whenever you, Daki and Gyutaro all play together it’s mostly him and Daki arguing and being all competitive. It’s mostly Daki’s fault because she’s the cause for half of the mayhem that happens in the world.

sometimes Gyutaro plays even without you. (he grew fond of the game quickly and likes the game)

the both of you play together everyday and go onto the same world every time because y’all created a beautiful old-fashioned city on there. (he cherishes it immensely and is insanely proud of the masterpiece of a world the two of you made as a team)

Daki

Daki is infuriatingly annoying but also entertaining to play with at the same time.

she is a giant rage quitter like Sekido and Akaza.

throws tantrums frequently over the smallest things that go wrong in the game.

she will be jealous of any item you get that’s better than hers.

this lil shit steals everything you earn that’s better than what she has. (you notice every time)

you confront her about it and she has the audacity to lie. (like girl yk damn well)

you end up taking your stuff back and she will BATTLE you for it. (you win these matches every time. that alone only adds to her angered state😭)

she will deliberately quit whenever something doesn’t go her way but later come back and declares she wants to try again.

it’s like a endless loop because this happens every. single. time.

(she’s such a brat istg)

will always steal your diamonds and put them in her chest and say she found them first.

while you’re asleep she will secretly go into the world and take all your shit and you’ll wake up back at square one.

(lowkey you want to stop playing with her)

y’all barely even work as a team but when y’all it’s always ha fight (mostly her fault btw)

once she notices your frustrations. She’ll level it down for you so no need to worry! (this earns your respect)

but whenever y’all are in creative mode shes so much more fun and enjoyable to play with!

you two usually build big ass mansions together and with y’all’s godly building skills you two make an incredible looking house and live in it together!

Enmu

Enmu absolutely looooves doing everything with you! he says yes immediately when you ask him to play with you.

after all he’s your personal simp. this fucker will gladly do whatever you say w/o any hesitation.

Enmu has actually heard of the game ‘minecraft’ before but never actually played it and barely knew what it was really about.

oh boy, but when he does he becomes OBSESSED.

I kinda feel like he dislikes survival mode and prefers to be in creative mode! but if you like survival mode he won’t mind trying it out with you.

he likes killing the animals for fun.. will randomly slaughter anything even if it has a family (bro is a sadist after all)

you tell him it’s not necessary to be doing that but he doesn’t care nor listen.

his love language is building you trains in the game. (you love them very much)

Enmu is usually very calm when he’s not on a mission so playing this game only soothes him further and he doesn’t act overly crazy and zesty like he usually does around Muzan

Builds trains every time y’all play and is somehow INSANELY skilled when building them (??)

Similar to douma, he’s the type to rizz you up in the game.

Sulks when you don’t notice him when he attempts to.

He constantly nags you to play with him some more and gets a lil upset when you become tired.

“Oh, Y/N!, how can you be tired? we’re having soooo much fun!!”

forces you to stay up just so he can introduce you his own train world he made for himself. (he named all the trains)

you’re out cold after playing with him every time. High key finds it adorable when you pass out after hours of playing with him. He’s so amused how humans can grow tired so easily.

[soleminisanction]

Issue 6 of "The Saga of the Super Sons" answers an important question: where the fuck has Dick been in this scenario?

Answer, apparently: At college.

Which is... where Bruce Junior is supposed to be. Bruce Junior, whose mother Bruce almost certainly met years after he took Dick in as a ward. Bruce Junior, who appears to be younger than Dick, but not by that much.

If you came at a Silver or Bronze Age writer with today's modern "but why is this character still 17" bullshit, I think they'd laugh directly in your face.

By the by, Dick is here because Bruce has been murdered.

I guess some things never change.

This does present an amusing comparison with the more modern takes on the subject like Prodigal/Knightfall, Gotham Knights (the game) and Battle for the Cowl, because here the boys treat Batman like something they expect to be left to one of them in Bruce's legal, actual will, like the one read out loud by his lawyer, implying the lawyer would be in on the whole secret identity thing.

When that obviously doesn't happen they come to an agreement to both... team up? But also compete? To find out who murdered Bruce, and whoever does the actual uncovering wins the cowl. This, for... reasons involves seal hunting in the Arctic and, ah... northern Native people. Which means a lot of use of a certain slur that all Natives in that biome used to (and still do) get lumped under, which I shall endeavor to write around but just know, there's a lot of it. Like, a lot. A loooooot.

Less awkwardly, check out what Dick Dillin apparently thought a killer whale looked like:

Hell, look at those mildly demonic black seals. I know this was pre-Internet dude but you could've gone to your local library. Or picked up a Seaworld ad.

Another thing that apparently never changes: Super-Sons comics insisting that only blood relatives count as "real" children.

To be fair, I wasn't actually expecting to see Dick referred to as Bruce's son at all in this. And Bruce Jr. is the only one who says this, and he's pretty consistently portrayed as the more immature and bratty one in this equation, so it doesn't really feel like the story is "agreeing" with him, it's just an interesting parallel.

Of course, because this is the 70s, they don't have any consideration for things like tactical costume changes or the realities of being mostly normal guys in the Arctic. So, though the boys arrive wearing sensible parkas, once they change into their superhero costumes Dick is just, snow shoeing through the tundra and water skiing behind a seal in his short sleeves and bare legs.

You'll probably be grateful to hear that the white industrial seal hunter is in fact the bad guy of this story -- this is actually one of the more cohesive stories in the saga so far in that regard. Simon Link was exploiting the land by killing too many seals, and then massacred part of the native village when they fought back trying to stop him, so this man Malook wanted to kill him. But, unable to find him and unable to get the white authorities to listen to him, he instead traveled to America to target his business partner, Bruce Wayne.

Bruce Junior is appalled by the accusations but, interestingly, Dick is willing to hear the guy out. When Link's crime is exposed (with the help of the Supers Senior and Junior, natch), he tries to escape across the ice.... disguised as a seal... aaaaand...

Huh. Okay then. Justice is served, I guess.

Oh also Bruce Senior's still alive.

I mean... good on you for realizing the need to make amends for funding exploitative colonialism, Brucie-boy, but did you have to do it in a way that put your son through the exact same trauma you went through? Complete with the murder mystery dinner theater death scene?

Not to mention your poor wife, do you know how much shit you two have put her through in the last however long it's been?? Junior faked his death complete with a full funeral in the first issue of the saga and now you're doing the same thing! If you actually did marry Talia she'll gut you both the next time she sees you and probably Dick too just because she's never liked him.

Anyway, for a parting shot, check out the image they used to advertise this story on the cover, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Beware the Ominous Pixie Boot!

[creationofacentury]

*crashes in here* HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT TWO LITTLE GUYS THAT ARE SO FILLED WITH LOVE???

ahem care for some moss etho arctic bdubs :>

YES OF COURSE *rolls up sleeves*

-----

Etho has been living in the Jungle Temple for quite some time now, that's why he feels like it's time to go. Moss Boss, Moss King, Muse...people call him all sorts of things, because he can transform landscapes with just one single touch; yet despite having so many titles, no one really knows his name.

He likes to travel, but usually people don't want him to leave, so he stays until he feels like he isn't needed anymore. The time period can stretch from a year to several decades, depends on the biome. In Savannas, he stays longer, in Swamps, he basically just passes them by, since the moss grow weird there.

There are two places he hasn't explored much: The Desert Biome, since there's literally nothing for moss to grow on (he could try, but that's probably pointless), the other is the Snow Biome, because it's a bit too cold for him.

So why did he think it's a good idea to take the shortcut through this ice hell in the blizzard with only a tunic and his moss cloak? It's too cold, he couldn't even start to remember the reason for this glorious decision.

"Hey! You! Yes you! What are you doing here?!"

With his whole body now ice-cold and stiff, Etho looks up with difficulty. There's a person. He's warped in white; in the blizzard it's hard to make out what he's wearing, but it looks warm. And Fluffy.

"Oh no, this is not good. How long have you been out here?!"

Etho tries to shrug. When that fails, he shakes his head.

"Shoot. Here, come with me."

A hand appears on Etho's shoulder and starts to guide him. With a direction to head to and a person to lean on, Etho feels the dread that had been cumulating slowly dissipates, and his eyes flutter closed...

"Hey hey hey, don't pass out on me. What's your name?"

"...O..."

"O?"

"Tho..."

"Speak up for me, if you're able to?"

"Etho..."

"Etho?"

Etho nods.

"Nice to meet you, Etho. My name's Bdubs."

"...great first meet scenario, 'm sure..."

Bdubs laughs. He sounds surprised. He adjusts Etho's cloak to wrap him up tightly, "Save the energy until we get you somewhere warm, alright?"

---

(Bdubs has a tiny little igloo. It's very cozy though, with cute pine cones stringed together as decorations, and somehow the igloo has a fireplace in it.

"Are those fur, Bdubs?"

Sitting by the fire, wrapped in a brown fur blanket, with a cup of hot cocoa in hands, Etho utters the question.

"The coat I'm wearing? Yeah. The blanket you are holding is also fur."

"How do you get so much fur?"

"..." Bdubs looks embarrassed, "...well it's mine, of course!")

-----

Notes:

Okay so that's all from me ajfsdcfnjhdebh Did I do it?????

I should probably explain, they are both some kind of deity here. I got carried away, sorry!

Thank you for sending this request, I had fun picturing and writing this!!!!! <3

[cosmerelists]

If Cosmere characters played Terraria...

Previously, Stormlight characters played Stardew Valley. Now, let’s say the Cosmere characters all had access to the computer game Terraria. What would that be like?

1. Adolin: Very excited by all of the swords

Shallan:  Adolin, love, you don’t have to carry around ALL of your new swords.

Adolin: I can’t leave any behind!!

2. Wayne: Very excited by all of the hats

Wax: Why are you fighting with the sparkle wand?? You HAVE the ice sword!

Wayne: Don’t ya see the wizard hat I’m wearing??

3. Steris: Takes care of chest organization & base building while Wax fights

Steris: And THIS chest is filled with all ingredients needed to make buff potions that lend bonuses to combat skills, whereas this chest contains ingredients that make buff potions related to defense or speed.

Steris: The appropriate crafting stations are right above as well.

Wax: T-That’s amazing!

4. Renarin: Keeps throwing himself into fights totally unprepared

Adolin: W-wait! Did you buff at all?

Renarin: (using a wooden bow against the Eye) Come again?

5. Sebarial: Spends all his money getting the best gear

Sabarial: Well, it took 50 platinum, but all of my gear is now “Warding.”

Palona: While you were doing that, I beat Skeletron.

Sabarian: Heeey, my strategy worked! 

6. Szeth: Speedruns

Szeth: What is speedrunning?

Szeth: I simply killed all of the bosses immediately and in order.

7. Raoden: Builds ideal houses for all of the NPCs in their preferred biomes

Raoden: All the walls are bright colors! Everything is clean!

Raoden: And I dyed all my clothes orange immediately, of course.

8. Vivenna: Builds simple but effective homes for all NPCs

Vivenna: I also put all of the paintings away into boxes, where the colors won’t scare them.

Siri: Vivenna...

9. Denth: Puts all the NPCs in NPC prisons.

Denth: You know what I hate most about being a mercenary?

Denth: If you build tiny, prisonlike homes for all of your Villagers, people think your gameplay reflects your character.

Denth: Instead of it just being the simplest and most effective way of housing them all!

Tonk Fah: Hey, is it time to drop the Guide in lava yet?

Denth: Don’t mind him. 

10. Kaladin: Protects the NPCs

Moash: Kaladin, please. They literally just respawn with new names if they die.

Kaladin: EDWIN, NO! STAY INSIDE--IT’S A BLOOD MOON!!

11. Vin: Gets a grappling hook as soon as she feasibly can

Vin: [soaring through the caverns]

Elend: (dying from fall damage for the 19th time): How do you do that so well???

12. Eshonai: Plays on the hardest difficulty

Eshonai: It’s the only way to experience everything the game has to offer.

Eshonai: I also play on the largest world!

Venli: The biomes literally just repeat.

Eshonai: So many new caves to explore!

13. Lift: Plays on the easiest difficulty

Lift: Because I’m just a little kid!

Wyndle: Y-You just SHREDDED the Destroyer!

14. Dalinar: Becomes deeply invested in the lore.

Dalinar: “You feel an evil presence watching you.”

Dalinar: ...

Dalinar: But what do those words mean?

15. Kelsier: Uses glitches

Kelsier: And by spawning a thousand ducks from this duck statue, I ensure that only the head of the Destroyer spawns! No probes at all!

Vin: Wow, how did you learn that?

Kelsier: There’s always another secret.

[ranger-rai]

There's More to You pt.5

The resemblance was uncanny, and Rai couldn't look away from this scholarly looking mirror of himself as he had risen back onto his feet.

“Take a few deep breaths while I explain.” The scruffy scientist instructed Rai, who began to catch his breath while his friends joined him in equal astonishment.

“Allow me to introduce you all to the esteemed leader of Los Fruta Academia: Mr. Raiko.” The scientist introduced the man with high honors.

Minnie chimed in, asking if she meant one of the schools in Paldea or Unova, to which the Professional image of her friend responded as he waved his hand to reveal another virtual screen, a recurring gesture apparently.

From the virtual screen, video footage of the different schools played.

“Where you come from, the three academies of Naranja, Uva and Blueberry are some of the most prestigious places a young mind can learn, however the leadership leaves something to be desired as well as confusing litigation, separation of institution and a rather grating structure of free form education.” The scholarly Rai explained.

“Of course, this occurred in your universe, whereas in my universe, I saw a need and filled it. I started by restructuring their education programming and implementing a much more efficient education staffing and managed to merge the different branches into one academy structure, of course it took me a couple of years, but it resulted in the largest and highest rated institution in all of-”

“D-did you just say YOUR Universe?!” Rai cut off the lecture with an incredibly shocked look on his face, shared only by his friends.

“Yes. Did you not know?” The man asked, turning his question towards the scientist.

“We just got here.” He responded.

The Schollary man chuckled a bit before taking the reins on this situation to clear the air for the ranger and his colleagues.

He explained that he is a version of Rai from another universe, HMR-1600, to be exact. 

“Also, it might get a tad confusing if you keep running into versions of yourself, so most of you are given nicknames to help keep the peace and to help break the ice. This well-educated man we like to call “The Headmaster’. The scientist explained.

“I prefer to address people by their universe. However, I do find the name rather fitting. I assume you will be at the meeting, it is why we were all called to the “Genesis Biome” in the first place.” The Headmaster stated as he waved  his hand and pressed in a sequence on the screen, with the elevator responding to his actions. 

The Headmaster left, taking the elevator to an unknown location and leaving the trio astonished and looking to the scientist for more answers.

He went on to explain that everything here was created by one man with the goal to help dying species gain a second chance at life, and as a result, he ended up stumbling across infinite multiversal travel.

“What does that have to do with us?” Tia of all people spoke up, questioning this whole operation.

“The creator of this project needs help, and we have come to the conclusion that he could possibly be the key to it all.” The scientist explained, gesturing to Rai, who was still taking in this information.

The ranger was a bit overwhelmed by all of this knowledge, not sure what he would expect from this call for help, but it certainly wasn't meeting parallel universe versions of himself, and one that was the head of a super famous academy nonetheless. 

Rai was definitely having a lot of emotions, as he tried to focus on the task at hand, not even hearing what other conversations might be happening as he noticed a small window nearby that let him oversee the large area of the many wild pokemon.

He wasn't a lavish man with high ambitions in life, but he knew what he was, and that was a man that carried about pokemon wellbeing.

“I want to go there.” He stated as he pointed to the land below.

The scientist checked his device, making a note and confirming that the pokemon don't particularly care for much human contact, so it wouldn't be wise for them all to go.

Rai replied that only he would be going.

The scientist tried to object, but Rai was insistent.

“If you want my help, then I need to see exactly what they have to say about you all.”

January 25 - 2024 Thursday

10:31pm

4/10

Mom woke me up early asking if I was ready to leave with my dad into town yet but obviously I wasn't and she had nothing to do with that coordination so I don't know why she called me. I got up and took a quick shower, ate a granola bar, and made my coffee. We headed out at 7:30. On the way there, Mom called and mentioned how she was sick which made me very upset because I've asked them to tell me multiple times if someone is sick so I don't have to make unnecessary contact but they are too selfish and stupid to do that. So the trip was ruined from the start, I was stressed thinking about all the ways I might have made dangerous contact and I was in survival mode going further. I made sure not to eat anything or touch my face. We went to the DMV first and I got in very quickly but they needed my birth certificate which I didn't have so I had to leave, making the whole trip a waste. We stopped by this place to pick up something for mom and I went pee in there. Then we went to the local grocery store and it was very nice in there. I bought a cake for mom's upcoming birthday. Then we left for home.

When I got home I took a shower and changed clothes. I wiped down everything that needed it and put Sporticus in the kennel since she was at the house all day. Unfortunately I might have to keep her mostly in there for a few days and then bathe her. I joined Trevor's VC today finally since he happened to be in there early and I played Kerbal. Also prepared a rice a roni lunch. I left to go eat and watch camping videos. I made a plan to work for one hour which I did in David's server. I finished this silly Ezlo pic and a pic of Daisy and I. A couple of guys in there started getting annoying constantly asking me to draw comedic things ironically. A couple guys asked me unironic art questions too. After work, I spent a little more time on my project and left to play Kerbal and chill. During that, Daisy wanted to Just Dance so I joined that for a few dances. Then we switched to Minish Cap while I played more Kerbal. I made a Minimus lander that went to 6 different biomes and came back. Daisy beat the ice temple which had a very tedious boss fight. In bed I played more Kingdom Hearts.

Today has largely been bad. Town was very annoying and more importantly, my parents not respecting my wishes has been annoying. I realized today that they are the main reason I don't take myself seriously because they never did. Not only them though, basically every adult figure in my life treated me like I was stupid or unimportant until I was in my mid twenties, and by that point I didn't know how to handle any other response. So now I have to learn to rewire outdated ways of thinking about myself and others so I can learn to treat myself with respect and really appreciate the good people in my life that also show me respect.

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

If you want a little. Peek behind the curtain, here's what I assigned each option (and the reasoning for some):

Question 1: Choose a Sea Power song based on its name

Option order is randomised, this is just the order I put them in while making it.

Fire Escape In The Sea - Fire

Lakeland Echo - Water

Down On The Ground - Earth

Obverve The Skies - Air

The Land Beyond - Stone

Oh Larsen B - Ice (shout-out to anyone who knows why I assigned that element to this specific song)

We Are Sound - Sonics

Heavy Water - Gravity (because "heavy water" is another name for barium, which comes the same word as the Bionicle elemental prefix for Gravity, "Ba-")

Don't Let The Sun Get In The Way - Plasma

Want To Be Free - Magnetism (Sea Power don't really have any songs that fit with Gravity or Iron, at least on the albums that I've listened to)

Green Goddess - Plantlife

kW-h - Lightning

Folly - Iron (again, I don't know of many Sea Power songs that would fit Iron, and if they are they're either on one of the EPs that I haven't got around to listening to, or the first album which I honestly don't like)

Transmitter - Psionics

Question 2: Choose a weapon

Option order is randomised, this is just the order I put them in while making it.

Sword - Fire (the first six weapons are based on the Mata's Toa Tools, but this one kinda ended up being an accidental Tom Cardy reference because of the "Sword, fire!" line from #Inspirational)

Sickle - Water (I didn't want to make it too obvious, so where possible I avoided literally describing each Toa's tools but went with similar ones that are easier to imagine, like "hook" is kinda ambiguous and could be misinterpreted as meaning a hook-hand)

Axe - Air

Stone - Your hands (originally it was like. Armoured boots, but I changed my mind and went with this instead)

Shield - Ice (because I couldn't do "sword" again

Very Big Stick - Sonics (some of these are based on what their associated Toa carry, in this case Krakua; however, because I already did a sword, I just went with what Krakua's sword looks like to me)

Hammer - Gravity

Laser - Plasma

Railgun - Magnetism

Whip - Plantlife (because of the whole "vine-whip" concept)

Trident - Lightning (another "there is a canon Toa I based this one on", in this case Nikila)

Spear - Iron (I know Zaria's weapon is canonically a staff, but I headcanon it as looking like a spear)

Staff - Psionics (I forgot that Orde carried a mace, but also Psionics is kinda magic-coded)

Question 3: Choose a Minecraft biome

Option order is randomised, this is just the order I put them in while making it.

Nether Wastes - Fire

Warm Ocean - Water

Swamp - Earth

Jungle - Air

Badlands - Stone

Ice Spikes - Ice

Deep Dark - Sonics

Snow Slopes - Gravity (because you can roll down a slope I guess?)

The End - Plasma

Basalt Deltas - Magnetism

Birch Forest - Plantlife

Stony Peaks - Lightning

Dripstone Caves - Iron

Warped Forest - Psionics

Question 4: Choose a Fallout game

Fallout - Water, Psionics (I think that psychic powers are a thing in the earlier Fallouts? And the plot is about getting a water chip apparently)

Fallout 2 - Magnetism, Plantlife (can't remember why I went with Magnetism, but the Plantlife aspect is because of the GECK. I haven't played the first two Fallout games)

Fallout 3 - Earth, Iron (Earth because you're underground, Iron because Brotherhood of Steel)

Fallout: New Vegas - Fire, Stone (the Legion are associated with fire (and also it's a Western pastiche so there are guns™), and also Stone is kinda Bioniclese(?) for "deserts")

Fallout 4 - Plasma, Lightning (the Institute use a lot of energy-weapons (and even have their own unique variants of them), and from what I remember there is lightning)

Fallout 76 - Air, Gravity (the air part is just like. Because the world is nicer. Can't remember why I did gravity for this one, though)

None - Ice, Sonics (these were just ones that I couldn't think of a place for)

Question 5: What is your favourite colour?

Red - Fire

Orange - Stone

Yellow - Lightning

Green - Air

Turquoise - Plantlife

Water - Blue

Purple - Gravity

Pink - Plasma

Black - Earth

Grey - Sonics

White - Ice

Gold - Psionics

Silver - Magnetism

Bronze - Iron

Question 6: Which of the following Pokémon types is your favourite?

Option order is randomised, this is just the order I put them in while making it.

Normal - Sonics (people who say Pokémon should have a "Sound Type" are wrong)

Fire - Fire

Water - Water

Grass - Plantlife

Fightning - Gravity (because some martial arts incorporate gravity and momentum)

Flying - Air

Ground - Earth

Rock - Stone

Ice - Ice

Psychic - Psionics

Dragon - Plasma

Ghost - Iron (😈😈😈)

Steel - Magnetism

Electric - Lightning

Question 7: Half-full or half-empty?

Half-full! - Water, Air, Stone, Plasma, Plantlife, Lightning, Psionics

Half-empty! - Fire, Earth, Ice, Sonics, Gravity, Magnetism, Iron

Question 8: Pick a classic Doom weapon

Fist/Chainsaw - Ice, Gravity (gravity for the same reason as in Question 6; Ice because the Chainsaw can be used to stunlock certain enemies)

Pistol - Earth, Air (yeah a lot of these don't make sense)

Shotgun/Super Shotgun - Stone, Iron

Chaingun - Water, Psionics

Rocket Launcher - Fire, Magnetism

Plasma Rifle - Sonics, Plasma (because it's loud and plasma)

BFG-9000 - Plantlife, Lightning (the BFG's effects are green and have lightning-like effects)

Question 9: Which element do you hope you'll get?

Ok so this one is obvious (you get a point into whichever element you chose), but at one point I considered doing like. A thing where each one actually gave you points into other elements (either shifted forwards or being the "opposite" or whatever), but I realised that was just kinda mean so I didn't bother.

Bionicle element Uquiz! You don't need to know anything about Bionicle to participate.

Playing World Box, God Simulator.

You get a world (or can create one) with different biomes, landscapes, ores, etc., and can populate it with some different animals, humans, dwarves, elves, and some others. You watch them grow and you can intervene as you wish. You can create natural disasters, and you have powers you can use for good, bad, or anything in-between. Want to make someone invincible? Done. Want it to rain acid? Got it. Want to spawn demons that are hellbent on eating every living being in sight? Go for it. Plunge everyone into a sudden ice age? Sounds fun. Want to spawn in a rat king and watch that funky little guy go? Why not!

Over time kingdoms will form, if there's multiple they may try to overtake one another, they will make discoveries (buildings, boats, etc.), and basically you can throw things their way and see what happens.

Anyway. I was planning on being a kind and benevolent god. I placed people in the world, populated their regions with friendly animals they may need (dogs, sheep, cows, chickens), tossed in a few frogs because they're cute, made an island for some penguins, tossed some turtles on a beach, and made Cat Island. I named my world There are Cats. Because I'm creative. I placed elves on a wooded island. I placed dwarves in a rocky, mountainous area, and a handful of men on the opposite side of the world (and separated from the mainland by a steep and treacherous mountain range). Quickly the men formed a kingdom and so did the dwarves.

Oh, and the dwarves got a cute little rhino, for fun.

Because I used a default map in the top corner of the world was a prepopulated sentient Pumpkin island and in the lower corner of the map a literal Hell. There was also Crab Island.

Again, I was planning on simply observing. They probably would never even know there IS a god watching over them because I had no plans to interact. It's my first time being a god and all. The ONLY interference I counted on was ensuring Cat Island was safe when, and if, anyone ventured there.

I was in The Age of Hope. I thought I paused the game when I was asked to run an errand for an hour.

I got back and found everything in disarray. I am in the Age of Chaos. The dwarves have overtaken the entire land and several outlying islands. The men are no more. The elves are no more. Pumpkin Island remains untouched, Hell is also untouched (probably for the best). But the dwarves have large boats so it's only a matter of time before they discover those far laying islands.

Penguin Island was a short distance from Cat Island.

Cat Island is no more. All the cats are gone and all that remains are tents and penguins. Did the penguins EAT the CATS?. They're just gone. Penguin Island is nothing but sand and the penguins populate what was Cat Island.

I intended to be a benevolent god.

But I can be an absentee deity no longer.

They have gone too far unobserved and unchecked.

They took advantage of the game somehow unpausing (perhaps my cat walked on the keyboard and in turn becoming the ultimate chaos god in place of my absence), and have crossed a line.

They will pay for the extinction of Cat Island.

They will feel the wrath of a god.

heart can’t lose [14]

PAIRING. lee haechan x fem!oc

WARNINGS. none

WORD COUNT. 1.1k

SUMMARY. fourth year pre-med student and neo university student council president, haechan lee does not have the time for relationships. instead, he focuses his attention on his studies and extracurriculars, so as not to disappoint his parents. that is until hera seo came along—and everyone starts to wonder if the university’s golden boy would finally let his heart lose.

HERA AND HAECHAN were both sitting on one of the benches in the park, their attention on Haeun, who was busy playing with the other kids.

“So, I’m guessing your brother is Johnny Seo?” Haechan suddenly brought up. “The administrative director of the school earlier, right?”

“Yeah.” Hera glanced at him. “Why were you there earlier, by the way?”

“Didn’t Jaemin tell you already?” He asked. “It’s for NU’s adopt-a-school program. We do it every year, and this year we picked that school. We went there to have a meeting with the school’s admin,” he explained.

Hera nodded her head before she looked away from him to watch Haeun again. “What’s it like?” she asked.

“Hm?” Haechan’s eyebrows raised at her question. “What do you mean?”

“Being part of the student council—or, being student council president, I guess,” she clarified, “what’s it like?”

“It’s nice,” he replied simply, making Hera look at him, unimpressed. He chuckled at her reaction, deciding to add, “I didn’t actually like doing stuff like this before, but my dad insisted that I take on some extracurriculars once I stepped into college. He wanted me to take something related to medicine, but I was already studying biomed so I just thought a different one would be better,” he explained. “Then, I settled on doing student government, and I've been doing that since freshman year.”

“Have you considered other extracurriculars?”

Haechan paused for a moment to think, then said, “I almost joined the ice hockey team, actually.”

“Really?”

“Don’t sound so surprised,” he said, chuckling.

She laughed before looking at him again and tilting her head slightly to the side, her hand on her chin as if she was examining him. “You know what, actually I can kinda see you wearing a hockey uniform.”

“I did wear a hockey uniform once last year,” he said. “There was this halloween frat party and I just couldn’t be bothered to think of a costume so I just went as Mark.”

She let out a laugh. “Your friend, Mark?”

He nodded, laughing as well. “Borrowed his jersey and everything.”

“Huh. Why didn’t you join the hockey team, then?”

“I didn't really feel up for it, really.” He shrugged. “But student government seemed interesting, so I just went with that.

“And are you happy?”

“Yeah,” he beamed. “It's nice to help and be the voice of the student body, you know? Stressful, sure, especially with also having a difficult major, and maybe I don't have a lot of breaks, but I like what I do.”

Hera could tell, with the way he talked about it and how he was smiling that he was happy with what he was doing. She let out a hum and nodded her head at him. “That’s good. Really, what matters at the end of the day is that you love what you do, right?”

“Definitely.”

“So, is the reason you don’t do relationships because you’re always busy?” She then suddenly asked, surprising the boy.

Sure, his friends had been saying for years that he was pretty much in a relationship with his studies, and being part of the student council, but no one’s ever actually asked him that, directly, not even the ones who had tried to ask him out.

“Uh, I guess?” He replied hesitantly. “I just never thought about entering one, and I don’t really have the time for any type of relationship.”

“So you’ve never dated anyone?”

“Not in college, no,” he replied, shaking his head. “Why are you asking, though?” he then asked, a hint of teasing in his voice as he raised a brow at her.

Her eyes widened. “Oh. I—well, the boys… might have mentioned something about it before, sorry for asking out of the blue, that wasn’t—that was weird,” she said, chuckling nervously.

He looked at her in amusement before his tongue poked the inside of his cheek, looking down to hide the smile forming on his lips. “It’s fine, Hera,” he said, “it’s just the first time someone asked me about it.”

“I wasn’t trying to… like… you know. I really was just curious.”

Haechan laughed at how awkward the girl was suddenly being, different from how confident and sure she usually was. “I know, Hera, you don’t have to explain yourself,” he assured her.

Hera smiled at him after that, and the two sat in comfortable silence again before turning their heads to look back at Hera's niece, who was still happily playing around.

“Does she ever get tired?” Haechan asked, eliciting a laugh from her.

“She will be in a few, probably,” she replied. “Why, do you want to go ahead already?”

He shook his head. “No, just curious.”

“I thought you were getting bored of my company already,” she joked.

He chuckled. “Trust me, I don't think I would ever.”

Her smile faltered a bit at his statement, wondering what that even meant, but her attention was quick to be pulled from the boy when her niece had run towards her.

“Juno, can we please get ice cream?” the little girl asked, looking up at her with her puppy dog eyes.

“Juno?” Haechan questioned, raising a brow at her.

“Family nickname,” Hera quickly replied before turning her attention back to Haeun. “Your dad said you already ate a lot of sweets earlier while you were waiting for me,” she said.

The girl frowned. “But—Juno, please?”

Hera looked away from the kid, sighing in defeat. “Okay—but just half of the ice cream, alright? Your dad’s going to have my head if I give you a lot.”

Haeun smiled widely as she wrapped her arms around Hera, earning a giggle from the older Seo. “Thank you, Juno, you’re the best!” she exclaimed. “Can Mr. Haechan come with us, too?”

Haechan laughed, patting the girl’s head. “Ah, I told you to just call me, Haechan, Haeun.”

Haeun nodded, a wide smile still plastered on her face as she repeated to her aunt, “Can Haechan come with us too, please?”

“I think Haechan has somewhere to be, Eun,” Hera told her.

“I can come with, if that’s alright with you,” Haechan suddenly said, and Hera whipped her head to look at him with furrowed brows.

“Aren’t you supposed to go to Mark’s place already?”

He shrugged. “I already told him I’d be a bit late, anyway. It’s fine,” he assured her. “Also—you know, you should teach high school students instead of kids when you become a teacher,” he then said.

“Huh?” Hera sent him a confused look. “Why?”

“They just give you puppy dog eyes and you give in easily.”

Hera playfully slapped his arm. “Whatever, come on, let’s go get ice cream,” she said as she stood up from the bench.

“Alright.” Haechan smiled brightly up at her and Hera felt something from the pit of her stomach, but chose to ignore them. “Let's get ice cream.”

[biggaybunny]

What makes Pokemon's type system so different is that I think it was at least partially based on the idea of a naturalist classification system. A lot of types are either direct descriptions of the kind of pokemon within that type (bug, poison, flying, even dragon), or at least descriptions of that pokemon's environment (ground, water, and ice for example). This is different than most type systems in RPGs and adventure games, which are usually elemental. That's why ice and water are distinct in Pokemon, but water usually includes ice in other games, for example. It's also why Pokemon gets away with a normal type, which instead of being a catch-all refers to generalist species found in a variety of biomes (this is also why it's a common dual type, particularly with flying pokemon). Of course, some of the types are a little far-fetched, like Fighting and Psychic. They probably needed some type to cover the designs they already had or something, but I'm really just guessing.

I think it's something special to the pokemon games, how they can still feel like a wilderness adventure at times. It's something I wished they capitalized on more. This might sound odd but I don't even think the open world of Paldea and the pseudo-open wild area in Galar did it best. Some of the longer routes in Galar on the other hand captured this experience well, of diving deep into a region of wilderness to see what you would find. Hoenn also had some places like that, and Hoenn in particular had a variety of biomes for you to find different kinds of pokemon in. I think it's nice that that sort of adventure is baked into the game mechanics. I wish they'd go back to making the pokedex important again, frankly. Maybe if Pokemon Legends had had a more impressive open world, that would've been what I was after. It seems a shame to reduce Pokemon to just its battling, which is all people tend to think the type system is for.

So, in honor of the new MHA episode (the tie-in one) I figured I might ask for beach HC's for Class 1-A in this ask and some pro heroes in another. Just thoughts on how the class handles the beach. (Though that is 20 characters, I can undertsand if you end up splitting it up).

Due to all the requests, I’m going to send this first part out then when I get ideas for the other characters I’ll work on them before I have enough for another part that I’ll throw out. 

And for others, it was later clarified that these are just headcanons of the characters at the beach so no S/O shenanigans. I did take this as a bit of a class trip happening though as opposed to the characters alone at the beach.

.

Ashido

Wants to do water skiing so badly because it seems super fun.

Very serious about sandcastle building. It's going to be amazing and have all kinds of cool designs. You bet there will be a mote too!

100% making sure there's a bonfire at sundown. She will not accept a beach day without a bonfire with s'mores and roasted hotdogs. 

It's very American and she wants to do it.

Brings some speaker to hook her phone up to. She's made a special playlist just for this beach day and is going to be bringing the music.

Bakugo

He would go around destroying sandcastles. He’d get complaints but his response would be that the previous ones were shit and they can do better. Absolutely gets better tools and stuff to make a better sandcastle than the previous. 

If anyone comments about him being soft then he’ll end up destroying the sandcastle and going off on his own.

Remember the swimming pool episode and how the boys took to competing? He’d absolutely try to do something like that with like surfing or maybe scuba diving.

He’s on the more cautious side when it comes to going into the ocean because someone could be pulled in. He won’t say anything about it but you could probably tell that he is being a bit careful about the water.

Honestly acts like he hates this. Why the hell would anyone want to go to the beach? There’s sand everywhere! He actually does have a pretty fun time though.

Midoriya

Midoriya is enjoying the time off, 100%. He is just enjoying the sun and watching all his classmates having a good time.

Would be taking all kinds of notes about how his classmate’s quirks can be used on the beach.

It kind of reminds him of the biome training from Thirteen minus the league showing up.

Probably not too big of a fan of doing surfing or sailing. The ocean is really scary. 

He would happily be in the shallow part of the ocean, but he’s not going to go deeper just because.

Todoroki

Todoroki would be roped into making shaved ice for everyone. It’s a beach and probably a pretty hot day so he’s making snowcones with his quirk.

He would do his best with making a sandcastle but probably isn’t that great at it so waits for instructions from others. 

He would be a amazing at making an Ice castle but sand is something else.

Would be interested in attempting to use his quirk when it comes to surfing or going into the ocean. 

Unlike a pool, the ocean is constantly moving so it’d be a good training session to see how strong of ice he’d need to make so the ocean doesn’t shatter it.

Yaoyorozu

Is the one to look up "Top 10 Things to do at the Beach" just because she wants to make a list of activities for if anyone doesn't know what to do next.

Probably wants some kind of buddy system just to keep everyone safe.

Gets roped into sandcastle building but she uses her quirk to make carving tools and shaped buckets for a better castle.

Also gets roped into a group to hunt for seashells or sea animals (crabs mostly) but she has a whole lot of fun doing it.

Reminds everyone to reapply sunscreen and to hydrate.

[favoriteginger]

Empires Worldbuilding

The Empires brainrot is real lately, so here, have some worldbuilding that came to me when I was trying to make angst:

The Empires world is filled with a bunch of different types of nature spirits. These spirits tend to stay in certain areas and tend to do their own thing for the most part, but they are willing to help the people living in the world with certain things if it benefits them in some way. I don't really have any specific ideas for Joel, Pearl, Joey, and Gem, but I have ideas for the rest that I'll go through in some detail. Idk much for the jungle yet, and I'll have to see how Joey's series progresses, but the jungle is full of life, full of growth and death and rebirth, which is why spawn is there, why it still has the bones of an old civilization that is once again starting to be populated by people.

(this one is kinda iffy imo but) the ocean spirits are generally happy with the ocean as it is, but they also kinda desire the ability to change and grow and adapt. When Lizzie comes along and starts setting up the beginnings of her kingdom, the ocean spirits see the opportunity available. They can use the infrastructure that Lizzie has put together to grow and change, in return offering Lizzie citizens to fill her realm and warriors to protect it (the villagers, the axolotl golem, her axolotl knights).

I'm thinking that the spirits can also change people over time too, so as the ocean spirits get closer to Lizzie and help her expand her kingdom, she begins to take on some of the same appearance as her citizens, the ocean spirits sometimes deliberately helping it happen so she can more effectively rule her realm (axolotl Lizzie go brrr). The main spirit in the flower forest is the Overgrown (or maybe it's more a collection of spirits that exists and acts as one being). Katherine settles in the area and is called by the spring, a slightly lesser spirit, to protect the Overgrown and help it prosper. in return, she is able to use some of the bountiful life that springs from the Overgrown, using it to make her kingdom look more beautiful and to forge and maintain peace with the lands around her.

As time goes on and Katherine becomes more familiar with the overgrown, the animals and plants become almost attuned to her. She tends to have flowers and vines woven through her clothes and hair, and it isn't unusual to see her surrounded by various animals while tending to her lands. (I also want to incorporate some sort of faerie type lore into Katherine's area but I'm still working on that)

(warning for mentions of death in the next paragraph or two, for any who want to avoid it. nothing specific, and it's not any of the empires members)

(adapting some ideas a friend had here) The swamp doesn't really have any major spirits inhabiting it, and I'm still figuring out what the ones that do live there are like, but it is full of the spirits of the dead. All of these spirits died at different times and for different reasons, but they were all drawn to the swamp and reside there long after any trace of their previous homes is gone. These spirits don't want much, mainly just company and peace for as much of their eternal lives as possible. When Jimmy first settles in the swamp, it seems to be empty of any sentient life, but as time goes on he begins to see the ghostly forms of people long dead and he begins to be able to hear their voices. The first spirits he's able to fully see are a group of children playing in the water with the cod. As more and more spirits appear to him and he gets to know them, he starts working to help them. He does his best to stay on peaceful or friendly terms with the other kingdoms so his land and the people in it can live in peace.

As time goes on, Jimmy starts to look like part of the swamp in a way. It isn't unusual to see him covered in slime and seaweed after playing with the children in the water, and sometimes he has vines woven into his hair, or a crown made of sticks and mud atop his head.

The spirits of the desert are quiet and unmoving, happy to stay where they are and watch the world change around them. Pix is one of these spirits, though he took a more human form long ago because he was curious about the people living in his land and watching from afar wasn't enough. Now, the people he used to be a part of are long gone, and he's left alone in the remains of their once great empire, watching over the world as it changes and keeping vigil over the other empires, still occasionally venturing out to get a closer look at the surrounding lands, and bringing goods to help them when he does.

Now, Pix is also a dragon (because dragons are fun), and though he exists in his human form more often than not now, he still occasionally stretches his wings to fly over the desert, stirring up sandstorms in his wake. He still burrows under the sand sometimes, looking to nap in the warm dunes, and he still hoards copper and emerald ore, using them to ornament his buildings when he isn't able to ornament himself with the treasures as he once did.

(I gave Scott a bit of a corruption arc because they're fun I guess idk) The mountains tend to be populated by wind spirits, forever moving and forever free. Their main desire is for more land to fly over and explore, and they see a way to achieve that though Scott. They offer him the freedom of the wild mountaintops, away from people and connections that could tie him down and cause him pain. As time goes on and Scott starts to hear them more clearly, they begin to tell him that having too many connections would be bad. According to the spirits, alliances are good, since they would mean that other empires wouldn't encroach on the mountains, but actual close friendships would just trap Scott in obligations and promises and do nothing but hurt him down the road. They tell him to expand the borders of his empire and give himself more space to roam free and do as he wished, as well as provide a buffer between him and the people who could hurt him. (I'm thinking that 3rd life ties into this, and after loosing Jimmy in that series, he's afraid of being hurt in that way again, which is why he listens to the spirits)

As time goes on, Scott becomes more cold, both in personality and physically. He extends nothing more than basic pleasantries to the people around him, maintaining alliances but that's it. His skin grows paler and cold to the touch, and his hair grows lighter, starting to look more like frosted ice than the rich cyan it had been before. His fingers and ears also grow kinda blue at the tips and he finds he's sometimes able to manipulate the flurries of snow falling around him or ride the winds across his growing empire.

Fwhip settles in a plains biome and not long after, he comes across the spirits of the stone and darkness, who tempt him with glowing redstone and promise him all the riches held underground and the power that could come with them. Fwhip, having spent most of his recent time alone in a hardcore world, is maybe a tad bit paranoid, and takes these spirits up on their offer, thinking he can use the riches underground to build himself and his people a beautiful city, and to make armor and weapons and trade offers and alliances to protect himself. However, in agreeing to the deal, he gave the spirits a connection to work with and they began corrupting him, making him treasure the dark deepslate and shining redstone even more, convincing him that the heads he mounted around his base were his citizens and friends, that he had to expand his empire and gain more power, or it would all be taken from him. Over time, the corruption starts to take a physical form, and not just in the land that grows darker as redstone-laced spires emerge from the ground, deepslate making it's way through the grass. Fwhip's eyes begin to take on a red tinge, glowing slightly like the redstone he cherishes so much, and his skin starts to appear grey in patches, matching the darkstone consuming his land.

So yeah, worldbuilding

Feel free to add on or whatever if you want I guess

Dream SMP Recap (March 3/2021) -     The Burger is a Lie

Tubbo moves past the denial stage of grief into anger. After creating a grave for Tommy, he decides that someone needs to be held accountable.

It’s time for some good old-fashioned detective work.

---

VOD LINKS:

[Ponk’s VOD was deleted so unfortunately I can’t recap it since I didn’t see it :( ]

Tubbo

Foolish

Awesamdude

Captain Puffy

Ranboo

---

- Tubbo walks down the Prime Path with plans to build Tommy a grave in Snowchester. 

- He doesn’t even know why or how it happened. Why was Tommy in prison?

“I want to blame someone -- I’m angry! Who’s to blame?”

- He wonders who set off the TNT to trap Tommy in there.

- Tubbo reaches Snowchester and finds a small ice island just outside the border to set up a gravesite. He makes a patch of grass, a wooden bench, puts down some flowers. He makes the gravestone out of wood.

“Tommy’s favorite block was literally oak wood. (laughs) He was a simple person, chat. He was a simple person.”

- He places a sign.

“In the Memory of Tommy. He was taken from us too soon.”

- He puts cobblestone around, and puts down a jukebox.

“This was meant to give closure, chat. This was meant to just give closure, but instead I’m just feeling more and more mad."

- Tubbo places down some lanterns and a Prime Log. He has a moment on the bench.

“Alright...so...what now? I’m pissed, dude. I don’t know how this was allowed to happen. I don’t know how this was allowed to happen. Receive his stuff from the prison -- no, I’m not going in that thing for a very long time.”

- He decides he needs someone to be held accountable. He wants to launch an investigation.

- He goes under the McPuffy’s and plans to make a little room to gather all the information in one place, and also a place to go in an emergency. Like a panic room or a bunker. No one should know about it until they have enough information to convict someone.

Tubbo starts building.

- He doesn’t even want to go into Tommy’s house, not even for supplies.

- He grabs a lectern for the room and starts writing. A storyline is needed.

The Crime:

- Murder

The Timeline:

- Tommy Visits Dream.

- Bomb gets set off.

- Tommy was Trapped with Dream.

- Tommy is The Crime is committed.

- Start with number two...where? Where were the bombs set off? Because if it was all a ploy, then Sam is the one to be held accountable. 

- Tubbo goes to the prison to check around the perimeter. The sound of the bombs came from above, but Tubbo remains skeptical. That could have been a ploy to cover up the tracks.

- Tubbo finds a patch of the shoreline where a water level is missing. He assumes that someone was just gathering sand there, not that it’s explosion damage.

- Tubbo flies onto the top of the prison and notices that there’s snow missing where the snow biome should encompass. A small area of a few blocks -- they must have been tampered with. Tubbo documents the evidence.

Evidence:

Tommy was trapped inside because of an explosion “outside” ..

Around the outside of “Pandora’s Vault” there was no evidence of explosion damage.

However on the roof of the Vault there is evidence of an explosion. We can tell this because of the snow pattern on the roof of the prison.

However snow can be broken by TNT from inside the Vault. But I suspect that the TNT was detonated outside.

- Now, Tubbo needs to go and find out who has access to stocks of TNT. Who has the majority of the world’s TNT? Well, there was a country that used to exist on this server. And who was responsible for its destruction? 

Tubbo visits L’manhole.

“Technoblade, Dream, and Philza. Suspects number two. We’ve moved on from Sam. Suspects number two and three, sorry -- Technoblade and Phil.”

“Everyone’s a suspect, chat. Guilty until proven innocent, I’ve always said.”

- And doesn’t Technoblade owe Dream a favor? Tubbo declares him suspect two.

- Tubbo runs to Technoblade’s house. There’s not much of anything out of the ordinary.

- He goes inside and looks through the chest, finding one with plenty of gunpowder, about half full. What looks off about it, though? What is missing here?

“Chat, where is the rest of the gunpowder, chat? Where is the rest of the gunpowder? It’s a fair question...Techno uses it for potions? No, no, hear me out. If chest was at least filled up to here, okay, that is four stacks and a half of gunpowder, okay? Each gunpowder is three splash potions. Three splash potions. So that’s over twelve stacks of potions! Potions that are not stackable! And in this establishment, there are not enough chests to hold twelve lots of sixty-four un-stackable potions. Rockets? Yeah, that’s another good call. What else is a good call? TNT. Let’s keep looking.”

- He continues to look through the chests, then exits. Suspect two has all of the materials to commit the crime.

- Suspect three? No sand, not enough gunpowder.

- He starts to leave.

“‘Check Ranboo?’ I mean it’s not gonna be Ranboo, is it? It’s not gonna be Ranboo. Yeah, he has access to all the stuff, but I doubt he even remembers it’s there..."

- He does a quick search anyway. The person who committed the crime must have not been prepared. They gathered the sand outside of the prison -- that’s what the missing shoreline must have meant.

- He notices Ranboo’s plan signs and reads them. He goes down into the basement but the vault door is shut, so he doesn’t find it. He assumes chat is talking about Pandora’s Vault.

“There is sand that has been mined outside the prison. The TNT was crafted rash. Technoblade doesn’t do rash, he does planned and calculated. Suspect two, three and four. I’m gonna presume they’re innocent right now, except for suspect two.”

- Technoblade could’ve supplied someone else with gunpowder. He wasn’t online during the explosion, but who was? Foolish and Ranboo.

“‘Big Law?’ Yeah, I’m back. I’m back in it again. I suppose you could say that...I’m on my A game right now.”

- Was Jack Manifold online at the time? No. Just Ranboo, Foolish, Dream, Tommy and Sam. Foolish lives in a desert. There’s a vast supply of sand in a desert...but was he streaming at the time?

- This does not look good for suspect number four...

- He returns to the bunker to get his evidence straight and places down signs.

Who Caused the Explosion?

Techno Owes Dream A Favor

TO DO:

Find out who visited Dream

Interview more players to get big picture

- Who visited Dream? So far, Tubbo only knows Tommy. Who else would ever want to visit Dream except for Tommy? 

- A dono leads Tubbo to realize that TNT can be planted beforehand with a timer. Sam could have planted the TNT with a timer. It could have all been Sam. It could have even been Dream with a contingency plan...but how could he have known Tommy would visit? Because of the favor? Did Techno convince Tommy to visit?

Why did Tommy visit Dream? Closure? Did anyone give him that idea?

- Tubbo decides he just needs more information.

- He sees the McPuffy’s...is it a coincidence that, as soon as Tommy got put in prison...burger shops started popping up on the Dream SMP?

- Maybe this happened because of the BURGERS.

- Could it have been Jack Manifold, wanting the hotel for himself? 

“Nah, Jack’s way too dumb for that.”

“The burger is a lie!”

- Maybe the Egg has something to do with it? Tubbo goes down into the Egg Room and shouts at the Egg to ask for answers. He leaves the Egg Room with no more answers, wondering if he’s about to leave the anger phase and head into bargaining instead.

- Ranboo works on his Conflict Resolution Pit after months, planning to finally finish it at long last.

- Ranboo looks at the chest by the pit and finds...a Manberg war shield? Whose is that? He isn’t sure what the shield means.

[Fun Fact: According to Karl about the banner’s design, the black represents all the colors combined, meaning “Unity.” The red is “the blood of our enemies.”

“It’s unity unless you go against us.”]

- Ranboo continues resource-gathering and building.

- Sam works on his creeper farm! He also answers several questions. Here are a few!:

* Are Sam Nook, warden Sam and Awesamdude all different people? 

Sam Nook and warden Sam are different people, but the warden is not a separate character from normal Awesamdude. They are the same person. Sam Nook is the only separate character. This will be explained more in the future!

* Why is Sam’s pickaxe named “Warden’s Will Breaker?” Does it have anything to do with breaking the prisoner’s will? 

“Mayhaps, mayhaps...”

* Isn’t it a little strange that he’s building a creeper farm? 

“Well, I’m the king of creepers so they should be excited to die for me.”

- Ranboo asks if he can shoot Sam. Sam says yes (in game)

- Ranboo shoots Sam in the face. Sam turns majestically and stops moving. Ranboo is confused and is worried that Sam might not be alive. Sam’s computer is suffering.

- Ranboo tries to get Sam to move.

“Oh my god he’s been completely paralyzationizitated.”

- By Sam’s request, Ranboo tries to push him to safety.

- Sam has been bound to the y-axis! He starts seeing through Ranboo’s stream.

- Ranboo tries to drive Sam in a boat but he starts seeing colors. 

- Sam dies on the Prime Path. Ranboo makes a marker sign in remembrance of where he died by paralyzationizitation.

Upcoming events remain the same.

[papiliona]

Im here for headcanons. Feed me, I'm starving for headcanons

Okay okay okay I bring them as mother bird brings the worm to her screeching children.

Ranboo cannot gauge normal temperature. This mainly has come from the fact his house has no walls and is in a snowy biome, but i feel like the end is very cold so his enderman half means that he just doesn't get cold at all.

I also like drawing him so that his enderman half and the white part are different textures. Idk why.

Techno in my brain is a man wearing a pig skull mask, but because he has the same size head as regular pigs the mask comes from a nether Hoglin. In general I picture Techno as like... A seasoned warrior in the vein of Odysseus (as opposed to Tommy who is an Achilles type person), so maybe his entire outfit consists of battle and adventure spoils he's gained over the years.

Technodrip

Eret still wears his king outfit, but the metal is tarnished and the Cape is torn.

A lot of these are aesthetic idk what to tell you.

Niki dyes her hair with flowers. The pink was originally light and calm and meant to symbolise hope, but when she saw how hopeless the world around her was she made it more and more intense until it was like fire.

Also she totally uses baking skills to make potions/explosive concoctions.

The people in the badlands actually originate from a badlands biome (the one with the hArDeNEd cLaY) and were nobody's there, so they left to gain power elsewhere.

The egg smells kind of like red velvet muffins. Until you get close to it.

The smp afterlife is like an echo of the overworld, but really faded, empty and with a short render distance. It looks like the smp but before anyone did anything and with no mobs

Dream is in the mortal world as some kind of punishment. I like to think of him as a Greek God figure, human in appearance but able to change the course of fate and absent from normal moral codes. He's on the smp because he committed some petty offence in the immortal realm, so he's bitter, playing with everyone. Like dionysus in percy Jackson but like... Evil and shit.

In the L'Manhole you can hear screams echoing.

Karl occasionally uses really outdated words mixed with modern phrases because time traveller. Like occasionally he'll just be like 'are you biting your thumb at me dude?'

George's goggles are made of really boujie materials and are gem encrusted

Ranboos crown is more tiara like. I need it to be a bejewelled elaborate designed circlet because otherwise the way the pixels are spaced on his skin will irritate me.

Wilbur had a room littered with unfished songs and compositions. Before L'Manburg he wanted to be a musician (this is kind of more just canon). They made a statue of him in New L'Manburg, but ghostbur couldn't bear to look at it because it looked wrong. The reason was that it was an image of the destructive Wilbur as opposed to the creative.

All of the clothing on the smp is of one distinct aesthetic and period for each group but the only modern piece is Tommy's red and white shirt. Nobody knows where it came from.

Ranboo naturally has his irl hair colour, but he split died it permanently and couldn't remember that it wasn't originally like that.

Twitch Prime is a god that looks like Jeff Bezos in a toga

All the technology on the smp is run by cogs. In my mind the smp is like the world in this series called septimus heap, where its simultaneously high fantasy in aesthetic but a clear post-futuristic version of our world. So there are relics of 'modern' technology that is broken and dispowered (like Jack Manifolds headset)

Everyone's netherite armour has different carvings and designs on it

Dream and Awesamdude play chess together in prison, in silence. Neither of them speak but Dream seems to appreciate the company (does he though?)

Tubbo used to like playing piano and ukelele in his bee house sometimes. Sometimes he would sit in the corner of caves whilst Ranboo mined and play instruments too.

Hamilton in the smp universe is a fictional novel (its pretty much fictional irl anyway) and Wilbur read it when he was a teenager.

Erets wool blocks are actually scarves he knits and leaves lying around, wrapped around tiny notes.

Quackitys voice is not autotuned he just sings like that™

I know foxes do this thing where they will sneak into farms and cause ruckus, and for some reason whenever Fundy is near technoblade both of them are just really uneasy

Snowchester is also a front for people to go ice-skating because fuck you my child is completely fine

Ranboo gardening 👍

Sometimes endermen will put grass blocks in piles near Ranboo's shack house when he blacks out for a long period of time or is visibly distressed.

Sapnap used to have wanted posters of himself everywhere because he is a petkiller but when the hype died down he framed them all and put them in his house. Also he plays the violin.

The twitter trending guy is canon but he runs a newspaper which is consistently sued unsuccessfully for having political biases, because as soon as it seems like he's writing in favour of one person he just writes in favour of another. The one true anarchist, Ranboo could never.

How do you think Sonic's planet is, at least in the movies?

The two worlds theory was right- Ok, if we look at what we have and throw some headcanons in the ring, I suppose we can start at Not-Green-Hill. Seen as it was clearly an homage to Green Hill Zone, it was very similar to the original level. So there's a big jungle accompanied by grasslands and hills with... interesting formations. There's also sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, loads of sunflowers and... a bunch of totems and structures and rocks with interesting carvings.

That would lead us to believe that either there was an ancient civilisation living there at some point or there is a civilisation living there currently. I mean, of course there is, as Longclaw seems worried that "someone could have seen" Sonic running around. We could argue that's the Echidnas, though I can't see why Longclaw would hide from them in their very own land instead of anywhere else. So maybe there are/were other owls hiding in this island? Maybe there's some sort of village in the jungle? Or maybe there were other hedgehogs around? Where did Sonic even come from, now that I mention it-

But we can't assume the entire planet is made this one loopity loop island - well, we can, considering the mushroom planet was entirely made of mushrooms, but I like to speculate otherwise, - so perhaps there are other zones that would inspire more locations of the planet?

Considering Tails is here, he must have come from somewhere. In the games, he comes from West Side Island. So in the movies, I can see it being a place of forestry and huge mountains and caves full of precious stones. Naturally, villages would have formed around the miners going into these underground complexes, as well as around the scavengers living in the forests. Perhaps Tails comes from a more advanced village where he gets access to the materials he uses to make his gadgets, or maybe he comes from one of these tiny places and is either the Evil Witch of the Village with all the stuff he makes or he's just a regular kid who no one suspects has an entire arsenal in his house-

Apart from the islands, there could also be big deserts, gardens, frozen biomes - though I believe the snowboarding scene in Siberia in the second movie was a direct homage to Ice Cap Zone, I'd be more than glad to see more of the icy levels.

I also like to think there are several ancient ruins around the whole world. Who from? I can't be sure. But it'd certainly be a great mystery for the inhabitants of this world. Temples, castles, maybe entire underground cities hiding traps and secrets. Maybe some of them explain more about the Chaos Emeralds, and that's where the legends scattered around the planet about them come from.

I'm not sure if the rings are common technology or some sort of ancient artefact that the owls, the echidnas and certain people who research enough like Tails get access to. There haven't been enough mentions of interworld travels other than the ones the characters went through, but if it's the former, then I assume whoever creates these rings must be really knowledgeable about chaos energy - at least that's what I theorise it is, - so perhaps people get trained to do it and there's a whole process and it's a whole cultural thing-

Aaaaand I think that's what I can say for now. I'm already out of ideas, sorry-
