#beefy!god!techno

[elysianightsss]

How did God!Techno know who we were? Did he have a claim on our soul or something that he followed? Scent of it? For the Drabble thing let’s get some of this going! Help you get your writing gear back!

God!Techno x reader

Warnings: 18+

God!Techno knew who you were because Gods can recognise other Gods or in your case Goddess. Techno was chasing the men your parents had sent to earth to find you, out of his empire. That’s when he found you.

He instantly knew what you were but he was rather confused as to why you were living on earth and pretending to be a shy peasant lady living alone in a small cottage in the forest.

The jig was up and after Techno had confronted you about being a Goddess, you confided in him, telling him that your parents had arranged a marriage you didn’t want. He saw the solemn look in your eyes and made it his duty to never see in again.

Call it what you will, fate, destiny…

looking at dsmp character if they can be a himbo

wether they are beefy or not is up to my design interpetation

-c!Foolish (3/3)

DO WE HAVE TO QUESTION IT?? HE'S OFFICIALLY ONE

-c!Will Ash (0/3)

I think cwill is like the total opposite of what A himbo is. He's not kind, he's very very hostile to people, he's not beefy and is a very smart individual. So no.

-c!Sam (2/3)

He is beefy, he is kind, BUT HE BUILT A GODDAMN PRISON REDSTONE SYSTEM

-c!Techno (2/3)

Same case as Sam this dude is fucking smart, a strategist fucking genius.

-c!Puffy (2/3)

Is she beefy in my interpertation? Yes, is she kind? very much so, but stupid? I dont think she checks that, she's one of the people that knows wtf is up with the eggpire bro.

-c!BBH (3/3)

Is he kind? YES HE VERY MUCH IS BUT KIND IN A kind(evil) WAY, is he beefy? yes i can comfirm that, is she stupid? IS THAT NEEDED TO BE ASKED??

-c!Drm(-999/3)

he's not endorsed by the lesbian so he's instantly disqualified

-c!Tubbo(1.5/3)

is he beefy? yes, kind? debatable, stupid? he built a nuclear bomb

-c!Ranboo(1/3)

twink and smart

-c!tommy(2/3)

he might gets lesbian and is stupid, but he lacks manner and beef. Honestly the kind part is debatable, i'd argue he's actually good natured but it tends to be overshadowed by his chaotic nature

-c!jschlatt(2/3)

he's stupid and jacked, but kind? no

-c!xd(erm)

he's just a weird guy and a god... he knows things

-c!mexican dream(3/3)

you know what maybe he is a himbo... Like he's abbrassive but that doesn't mean he isn't kind. I think mexican dream is actually kind to people and i like to thing he's jacked. Also he's very stupid.

c!philza(2/3)

too twinkish... but checked kind and stupid

c!slimecicle(3/3)

LISTEN I THINK HE'S HIMBO, HEAR ME OUTTTT. He's not exactly very intelligent, slimecicle is like jacked so his character automatically is also jacked and also very kind. Like out of all the nevadas he's the most optimistic and welcoming one.

c!Niki(no)

I think niki check listed kind but even that is debatable.

c!George(twink)

twinkkk

c!sapnap(too mean)

I dont think he check listed the kind part.

c!connoreatpants(decent man)

he's just a decent man.

ok im tired bye feel free if u want to add on into this thing, wether debate argue about my choice or anything whatever

MCYT as D&D Characters 3 - Technoblade

🎵It's been a while🎵

Yeah, not that frequent of a poster on Tumblr, I already posted this on Reddit months ago but I realized I never posted it here, lol!

Also, before I say anything, u/CarbonatedChlorine on Reddit actually made a truly fantastic build for Technoblade as a Zealot Barbarian. Now this is an excellent choice for Techno, but I don’t want to rip them off so I’ll be going for a different approach, but seriously. It’s very good, I will be linking their post at the end of mine.

Before we begin, here are the ground rules I’ll be working with

This will not be balanced and the builds may not be very good. This isn’t for the minmaxers (not that there's anything wrong with that), this is purely based on either stories these people have participated in or their overall persona on the internet

These characters will go up to level 20, but in no way do you have to play them to the max level to get all the mechanics that make up the character

There will be no homebrew for this build

I will be using standard array for all of these characters (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) when determining the stats for these characters for my own ease of use.

Character Traits to Emulate:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! Insane, busted warrior

Techno never dies, and neither will this build

Pig

The peer pressure is strong, but the tactics are stronger

Race, Class, Background and Stats

Race: Shifter (I chose Shifter for a handful of reasons. One, it handily gives the pig aesthetic while acknowledging the more humanoid Techno art. The specific Shifter type I would choose is Beasthide, considering it just makes someone more beefy).

Ability Score Increase: +2 to one stat, +1 to another (Charisma and Strength respectively).

Darkvision: You can see in the dark! Sweet!

Bestial Instincts: You can have proficiency of one of the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Intimidation or Survival. Let’s go for Survival.

Beasthide: When you shift, you gain a +1 to Armor Class and 1d6 temp hp

Background: Soldier (I think this is pretty obvious, but from any perspective you look at Techno, either from SMP Earth, the Dream SMP or just his general prowess in PVP, there’s no better fit than Soldier for a background).

Proficiencies: Athletics, Intimidation, land vehicles, a gaming set (Chess since why not)

Class: Paladin (Now while Barbarian or Fighter may be the first instinct for a D&D build of Techno, but I think this is a more interesting take for reasons you’ll see when we get to the subclass).

Stats:

Strength: 13 + 1 = 14

Dexterity: 

Constitution: 14

Wisdom: 8

Intelligence: 12

Charisma: 15 + 2 = 17

Level 1: Paladin

Divine Sense: You’re able to sense any celestial, fiend and undead within a 60ft radius, how many of them there are and the type. You can do this a number of times equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier. 

Lay on Hands: You can heal people from a pool of hit points from which you can restore people equal to your paladin level x 5. You can also do this to yourself! Yet another way that you will not go down.

Level 2: Paladin

Fighting Style: There are numerous good fighting styles for Technoblade, but I decided on Great Weapon Fighting, where if you roll a 1 or a 2 on a melee weapon attack’s damage, you can reroll the die.

Spellcasting: One word. Smite. Pick and choose your smite at your leisure and revel in the obscene amount of damage. Almost as if you were blessed by the Blood God himself…

Divine Smite: Oh, did I say I was done with smite? No, you get more smite-age. Whenever you hit a creature, you can expend a spell slot to deal extra radiant damage, starting at 2d8 for a first level spell slot and increasing by 1d8. This damage is further increased by 1d8 if the target is undead or a fiend. Again. Revel.

Level 3: Paladin

Divine Health: You’re immune to disease

Subclass Time! Subclass Time! The lucky subclass being, of course…

Oath of Conquest! Just look at the tenants, it screams Technoblade energy. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire. Ah it’s SO GOOD you guys. This will give you access to a couple of handy spells, but that’s not the main interest of Oath of Conquest.

Channel Divinity: You get two options for your Channel Divinity as a Paladin, both being excellent options that really exude Techno energy. You can use one of these options once per short rest.

Conquering Presence - You inspire fear. You make a creature within 30ft of you make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you for a minute. They can reroll this check once per turn.

Guided Strike - You have supernatural accuracy. Whenever you make an attack, you can add 10 to the roll before the DM says whether you hit or not, but after you see the roll.

Both of these are super fitting for Techno, being both an intimidating force on the battlefield and not one to miss his strikes.

Level 4: Paladin

Ability Score Improvement: Every few levels, you can add to your ability scores (either a +2 to one or +1 to two) or take a feat. This time, we will be adding a +1 to Strength and +1 to Charisma, bringing them up to 15 and 18 respectively.

Level 5: Paladin

Extra Attack: You get to attack more, hell yeah! More attacks = more smite = more carnage. Truly, the peak of D&D

Level 6: Paladin

Aura of Protection: Whenever you or an ally within 10ft of you makes a saving throw, they can add your Charisma modifier to the roll. Who wouldn’t feel stronger when fighting alongside The Blade?

Level 7: Paladin

Aura of Conquest: Whenever a creature is afraid of you and within 10ft of you, even in total cover, their speed is reduced to zero. Along with this, they take psychic damage equal to half your turn if they’re in that zone at the top of their turn. I’d be scared if I was staring down Techno in hypothetical combat.

Level 8: Paladin

Ability Score Improvement! Let’s go for the Tough feat this time. Your hp is increased to an amount twice your level, and then +2 for every subsequent level. Again, just more hp so you can keep swinging.

Level 9: Paladin

Nothing really happens at this level but the standard spell slot increase.

Level 10: Paladin

Aura of Courage: All allies within 10ft of you cannot be frightened.

Level 11: Paladin

Improved Divine Smite: Hey, if you thought smite was good, it just got better. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon you do an extra 1d8 radiant damage. Just in case you were worried about not doing enough murdering, or something.

Level 12: Paladin

ASI time baby! We’re taking another feat, Great Weapon Master. You do extra damage on a crit with a melee weapon and can choose to take a -5 to hit for a +10 to damage.

Level 13: Paladin

Again, nothing happening out here.

Level 14: Paladin

Cleansing Touch: You can end a spell cast on yourself or on someone else. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier and regain all uses after a long rest.

Level 15: Paladin

Scornful Rebuke: To those who dare to attack you, they suffer psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier. Those who step to the Blood God will suffer the price.

Level 16: Paladin

ASI! This time, we’re actually improving the ability scores, going to add a +2 to Strength, bringing it up to 17.

Level 17: Paladin

Nothing happens at this level, alas. Just more spell slots for smiting.

Level 18: Paladin

Aura Improvements: All of your aura’s radius increases to 30ft.

Level 19: Paladin

Ability Score Improvement, for the last time. We’re taking the Savage Attacker feat, where once per turn, you can reroll melee attack damage.

Level 20: Paladin

Here we are. Your capstone ability.

Invincible Conqueror: You become an avatar of conquest and for a minute gain the following effects

You’re resistant to all damage

Whenever you make an attack, you make another attack.

Your melee attacks crit on a 19 and 20

You regain this ability after a long rest

Truly, an ability befitting Technoblade. Just think of all the insane clutch moments this would apply to!

I hope this was satisfying and clear for all of you! I put a lot of thought into what I could customize about this and I hope it lives up to Techno’s legacy.

[catzgam3rz]

Fuck I wish Techno streamed more just so I had an excuse to draw him more his design is SO FUCKING FUN TO DRAW

[turigirl]

im not even a big techno fan but all of the c!techno designs r gorgeous

[wolfythewitch]

listen i love anime boy techno as much as the next disaster but oohh my god beefy techno,, beefy techno looks like a man that would help me with a single hand when im trying to carry a comically large pile of boxes and id think abot him and the four words he said constantly. he looks like a guy you'd see at the farmer's market and you buy his produce just to speak to him. did you ever read/watch/play the witcher? beefy techno looks like he'd be a witcher. in conclusion im in love

DSFDGF THIS IS INCREDIBLY SPECIFIC

[dykesymmetry]

gotta say.. kudos to technos character for simply being one of the most versatile characters on the smp in terms of. well. he ranges from being like 20 to being a centuries old dude, beefy pig to anime twink, hes dad adjacent hes in a qpr hes your uncle hes your brother hes your kid. hes immortal. he dropped out of college. hes both the god and a priest and just some guy. sexy as hell

HE HAS THE RANGE!!!!

[rev-pirate]

Yes talk about the One Piece au pls -BGP

Okay okay so some of what i have so far in terms of like character origins and abilities

Technoblade- so like one of the most obvious options would be that he’s a Mink, a race of anthropomorphic beings exclusively derived from mammals. He’d be a boar or pig mink ofc in that case. Beefy pigman. But. I do think it would be very fun if he were just a pig that ate the human human fruit a la Chopper. He is a piggie he can turn into a pigman. There are fun narrative benefits to both. The minks, under a direct full moon, unlock a powerful form (called Sulong) that is significantly stronger and faster than they are already and it takes proper training to learn to control the form. It does have draw backs in that using the form for too long leads to exhaustion or even death. Minks also as a race can also use like static electric shock abilities. They are trained from the moment they can walk how to defend themselves. (Also when you live in a place lead by a couple dudes named Catviper and Dogstorm Technoblade fits right in lmao) Human human fruit techno though you get both just a piggie techno and big beefie hybrid techno in the same character because shapeshifter pog. Plus the narrative potential of the zoan awakened state coming into play and the struggles with controlling it. Plus i think c!techno could find a lot of humor in being just a pig who ate the human fruit. If he were a mink i would say he doesnt have a devil fruit but being a mink means that is in the cards for him so that’s also unlockable narrative potential even if he doesnt have one at the start. I am torn.

Philza- he’d be a sky person. The residents of the sky islands are descended from a race of winged people who lived on the moon before being forced to take refuge on earth as resources on the moon dried up, leaving behind their automata. As a result of the passage of time various regions of the sky islands have different wing shapes and sizes. Though there is also evidence these wing size and shape variations may have also existed in some variation when the sky people’s ancestors still lived on the moon. The residents of skypeia and the ancient city of shandora for example have small vestigial wings while the residents of Birka have Big Wings. We havent seen any of them actually use those wings though but idc i’d let Phil fly with those. Granted the island of Birka was completely destroyed and the people largely massacred during religious infighting started by a guy with a devil fruit and a god complex. I brought up the automata earlier though because that one fanart of phil making brian as an automaton lives rent free in my brain and it would just be a cool idea that some of the knowledge of how to make the automata managed to survive and get passed down through the generations and Phil can make them and is a tinkerer. But it would also be fun if Philza was a zoan type devil fruit user making him a bird person shapeshifter but that runs the risk of oversaturating the au with zoan type users and i’d rather explore more of the variety one piece has to offer.

Tubbo - goat zoan. Hands down. That would be up his alley. i think he could rock it. I just really like the idea. I have no other justifications.

Tommy - seems like he’s be Just A Dude. We some Just A Dudes in this AU i am open to suggestions but tommy has just a dude vibes.

Charlie - would be a slime logia ofc. And he’s be like the fucking piece of shit mud guy where like. He can just shove things into his body and store them there and it’s like a bottomless pit he’s got so much stuff stored inside him. He’s like one of those slime fridges except you cant see what he’s got in the bottomless void that is his magic slime body.

Sam - there is a very easy parallel to be made here. One Piece’s World Government has an impenetrableTM and inescapableTM prison where inmates get tortured relentlessly that is run by a strict warden with strong black and white morals. You pickin up what i’m puttin down? Additionally there is this guy who has a devil fruit where he can turn any part of himself into a bomb (it’s very wacky in traditional op fashion) so like. That is an option for Sam devil fruit wise but i will have to think on it more and see if i can come up with more options.

This is getting long so i’ll stop right there for right now on this post but this is some of what i have generated about some of the characters so far

[shoezuki]

Okay hear me out imaging big beefy piglin Techno being a monster hunk in the overworld but a twink to other piglins.

Everyone looks at Techno and is just like "oh god terrifying hunk" but then he goes to the neither and has to listen to all the piglins talking behind his back wondering how in hell this twink just destroys everyone.

ok this one is the fucking funniest actually yknow what yea this ones it now everyone else get out

[elysianightsss]

Beefy!God!Techno x Mortal!Reader Sneakpeak..

He felt it, felt the blood drip down the sword, felt the life drain from you before he even turned around. He lost it, saw red, became that killing machine that the rumours had said him to be. He killed every single knight, general, person from the other army was dead by his hands and still he felt he hadn’t done your death justice. Falling to his knees he reached your body, pulling it to him, the cold of your skin burned him like ice.

He had fought against it, but you were like a dog with a bone, you just wouldn’t let it go. You just had to fight by his side, he had spent the past decade trying to keep you safe from every little thing that could happen to you, from tripping over something to this. He practically baby proofed the castel to make sure that you were safe. He didn’t want to wait another hundred years to hold you again, to kiss you, just to have you by his side.

Another shot of my new Asura Rikka. Knowing her personality, that's now firmly living in my head, there was really no choice for her favorite mount other than a big beefy lizard in way too much damn armor.

So.. Worked on Insa’s look a bit more recently. Um. I’m not obsessed with fashion wars you are.

Went leaning heavy into the techno shaman look, and it was an awesome opportunity to run with a color I don’t use too often. Lord it makes me wish we could dye the color of our magic though.

Without further wait, Archivist Vibbu! She’s who I was wanting to spend my lvl 80 boost on!

Asura mesmer who is as short and small as I could make her. She’s 100% going to get the dagger in EoD to be a tiny little knife throwing demon.

Random GW2 Idea/Thought/Rant

I want unarmed as a weapon, somehow. How in the blue hell they would pull off a weapon class that is defined by it’s lack of a weapon skin in a game built off skins for weapons and armor as much as GW2 is, I have no earthly idea. I can still want it though. An elementalist that moves around like a bender from avatar, a mesmer who literally mesmerizes through hand movements, a necromancer fighting with summoned bone claws, or a guardian running in and just brawling shit with holy punches. I do kinda see it as a more caster focused ‘weapon’, and two handed obviously so you go full unarmed.

God knows it’ll never happen, but it’s something I’ve been playing around with in my head recently. I suppose there could be different skins for it, various brass knuckles/claws/gloves, but I’d require at least one of the skins be just empty hands. Another style of skin I’d like? What they do with the Touch of Fog and the Touch of Madness torch skins, where put away they outright vanish but drawn you get an elemental glove effect more or less.

Sbi&CO d&d AU: Don’t Keep me Waiting (2/?)

I’m back! Chapter two is finally here and, as promised, it’s a bit of a beefy one!! I do hope you’ll like it!

A special shoutout to Cassie and my sister, for basically creating the newly added character, and that anon who totally didn’t guess who was coming a week before I posted the chapter xD

The noise inside the tavern hits them like a tidal wave the instant they open the heavy looking oak doors: a cacophony of people talking, friends cheering, music playing and orders being shouted from one side of the room to the other. 

On one hand, it makes Wilbur flinch and recoil, his ears ringing with the sudden switch from being in the quietness of a mostly desert street to this; the good thing is nobody really pays any particular attention to their group entering. They do of course gather some looks and stares - they're a big group after all, most people here are either in small, four-people groups or even smaller. 

But Techno's trademark pink hair is safely hidden under a hood, in order to allow him to walk around without getting constant stares - respectful, fearful or otherwise. They're here to have fun, not pick fights; at least that is what they had decided on before signing up for the tournament. Except for Tommy: to quote the little demon, they were there to win.

Nevertheless. 

Wilbur is there, at that moment, in that tavern, to play and to share his music with a willing audience. So, while most of the others hurry to grab a big enough table and some extra chairs, Wilbur makes his way towards the innkeeper's desk, tail swinging back and forth, mind already running with ideas on what to play for this specific audience - adventurers are a picky sort, they either like your song or they boo you out of the tavern, and he wants to give a good impression especially with the tournament coming up-

The innkeeper sees him and Phil approaching, his eyes darting to his brand new splendidly hand carved guitar - he will never ever ever be able to repay Tubbo - before he lets out a tired sigh. Which comes crashing down onto Wil's mood like an avalanche, covering instantly all his bright ideas and expectations. 

It's Phil's hand on the small of his back that brings him back into focus, prompting him to regain the sway in his step - no time to mope, they're here for at least another month.

"I don't suppose you have a spot open for tonight?" He asks, putting on his best vendor voice, and he can see the tiredness in the eyes of the person in front of him. 

"I do not. You can have half an hour in two days. Name?" The person asks, voice flat with the face of somebody who's had to repeat this process so many times just tonight. So Wilbur swallows down his protest - half an hour in two days is a horrible deal - and nods amicably. 

"Wilbur, Wilbur Soot." The innkeeper looks to be thinking intensely for a moment - a spark of hope shines in his chest as he hopes for a moment that his name will be recognised, since he's spent the past years building up his fame by working tirelessly -, then they shake their head and write down something that vaguely resembles his name next to some numbers. Wilbur smothers the irrational, embarrassing disappointment that threatens to rise in his throat.

"You have my thanks, good sir!" He adds enthusiastically, voice pitched a bit too higher than normal, because a part of him feels for the poor soul who has to deal with people of all sorts, and swivels on his feet.

Phil's hand on his shoulder brings him out of his own mind as he's definitely not storming away from the poor innkeeper's table. He doesn't even need to say anything: Wil deflates instantly, tense shoulders sagging instantly and a long sigh leaving him as he leans into the elf. 

"I really wanted to play." Wilbur grumbles as Phil's hand moves from one shoulder to the other, effectively bringing him into a half-hug and ruffling his hair with a chuckle. 

"I know, and you're going to." The elf replies, tone calm and reassuring, and Wil can't help but ache a little, feeling like a kid all over again and not liking it even a little bit. Once, he would have stayed quiet and stewed into his own brooding mood, but he knows now that he can rely on the others for situations like these. So he ignores how awkward he feels at protesting for something as silly as this, and lets himself pout. 

"Half an hour is so little, though. And since we're not taking any jobs for a while it could help with paying for the tavern." Phil quietly hums in response and experience tells him that he's pondering over a good answer. Wil's eyes scan the tavern - bigger than he first realised - looking for Tubbo's bee, as he figures it's going to be the easiest thing to recognise in the literal sea of adventures of all kinds.

"You know we don't need it. And I'm sure once they hear how good you are, they'll be asking you to play every night." Phil comments, starting to guide him towards what he thinks is the right direction, but Wil is a bit more preoccupied with preening, slightly flustered, due to the compliment. One would expect him to be used to them, but the thing with his friends is that praises from them always feel a little more true, a little more honest, and they always hit him in the best way possible. 

When they join the rest of the team - clustered around a single medium sized table - Wil's mood has significantly improved. 

There's food already waiting for him and as soon as he sits down a fox jumps in his lap and curls up, snout raised towards him to slowly blink at him before he buries his head in his tail. 

Wilbur starts digging into his meal with gusto, lightly scratching behind Fundy's ear as the shifter decides to take a nap.

The tavern is, overall, a nice place. It's cool to see so many adventurers gathered together, and hearthwarming to be able to see many new friendships blossoming. 

After the team announcements that same morning, there are some people that have found themselves needing to look for strangers basing themselves only on names - or worse, nicknames. 

Wilbur figures that the people that are in the best position to find their teammates are those who have been paired with bards, as there have been half a dozen different people performing ever since they sat down to eat. 

Luckily for him, his own team has no such problems. Tubbo, Niki and Fundy, on the other hand, are still waiting to learn who their fourth is going to be. Since the training grounds will soon be open for team practices, starting from the next morning in fact, they plan on looking for them there. 

Tymora, or Lady Luck, has apparently other plans for them.

It's nearing midnight when a short man with only one eye and a thick Draconic accent walks up the stage for what seems like the hundredth time that night. In his hand, the same piece of paper that has been progressively getting more and more ragged as the evening went on. He unfolds it as he walks up, thanking the tired looking bard that is leaving the stage, and it rips in half - his only reaction is a sigh and a shrug.

He squints, putting together the parchment and pursing his lips as the two ripped halves slowly mold back together, then calls out, somehow magically raising his voice over the sound of the tavern's clients talking and clapping for the leaving bard.

"Next up: Quackity! Come up the stage!"

Fundy's fox claws suddenly dig into Wilbur's legs, making him wince in pain and choke on his sip of mead. A split second later, he's got a lap full of disgruntled mage. 

Tubbo, on the other side of the table, is standing on his chair in order to see the stage over a firbolg's shoulders - holding himself up by using Tommy's head, who is extremely unwilling. 

"A bard?!" Fundy exclaims, prompting Wilbur to move his eyes from the stage towards him with a frown.

"What's wrong with bards?!" He asks, helping him get off of him and into his abandoned chair. Before Fundy can find a way to put his rebuttal into coherent words, Wilbur's eyes snap back toward the stage as people are starting to give a quiet, tentative clap for the newcomer.

The kid looks human, probably about Niki's age, and he sits down a bit awkwardly on the stool he brought with himself before plucking a couple of strings on his guitar. They're sitting quite far from the stage, but Wilbur's trained eye still manages to catch the fact that that is an old and well used one - his heart squeezes just a bit at the thought of his former source pride and joy, the guitar he travelled with ever since he left home.

Wilbur knows, viscerally, of the fear that always precedes a performance, especially in front of a new crowd. Especially in front of adventures, whose tastes are ever changing and easy to sway from the crowd's perspective: adventurers either like you, or they don't, and if they don't you're not gonna have a good time.

And yet. 

After checking his guitar, the kid looks up with a bright smile and a confident expression and starts playing - no buildup, no further introduction, no boisterous announcements of his titles or fame. 

And by the gods does he play. 

He's good, but he's not just technically good: he's an entertainer, plays with his guitar as much as he plays with words and with the crowd - clearly making up verses for his songs to fit what happens around him, bantering with the adventurers that step up to his plays of words. Sometimes he bursts out laughing mid verse and despite that his fingers never stop flying over the cords, his laughter becoming part of the song itself. 

Halfway through, he catches Techno's eyes: the shifter raises an eyebrow and Wil simply nods, so Techno nods back

The tiefling is glad to know that they both think he's good, they had been worried about leaving the three newest additions to their team alone with a random stranger. 

And if the enthusiastic way the rest of the team is clapping for him, they're going to get along more than well.

Half an hour later a flushed and visibility sweaty Quackity makes his way down the stage, followed by a thunderous applause and some occasional claps on the back; one passing adventurer even thrusts a pint of ale into his hands, prompting what looks to be a flustered reaction from the bard as he quickly makes his way out of the tavern. 

Either that or he needed some air, which was completely understandable, especially after such an active performance. 

Wilbur is about to comment on the stellar introduction they just received when the sudden noise of hands slamming onto the table - their table - makes him jump in his skin.

"We have to go and say hi!" Declares Tubbo, still standing on the chair - now with Niki helping him not fall to the ground. 

Tommy nods enthusiastically next to him and even Fundy seems to be about to agree. To be quite honest, Wilbur wants to join in too and is therefore about to stand up when Phil raises his hands to get them to slow down. 

"You're gonna scare him if you all corner him outside. How about his three teammates go, on their best behaviour?" The elf concludes, shooting Fundy a pointed look. 

The shifter gapes, looking extremely insulted, then he starts to protest and finally he sighs with a pout. Ah, the wonders of people arguing with Phil. 

"Alright, no pranks and no scamming. Pinky promise." Fundy huffs out, crossing his arms over his chest and slouching down into his chair. Wilbur does his best to chuckle under his breath, because he's not any better, he's just not the target of the reprimand for this time. 

Then, Phil's stare turns to his left. 

"You too, Tubbo. No scams." He states, prompting Tubbo to almost fall over as he agitatedly protests, spluttering out indignantly.

Exiting into the coldness of the night is almost a shock, especially when compared to the almost too warm air inside the tavern.

The sounds coming from inside are almost completely silenced, and when they close the doors behind them the stillness of the night is all they can hear. Fundy shudders for a moment, his body struggling to adapt to the lack of heat, when his instinctive reaction would normally be to morph back into his fox form. He snaps his fingers together, conjuring a small flame in his hands to keep himself warm, and sees Tubbo moving closer to him before he remembers that ah, right, the kid can't see in the dark. 

Still, it's not hard to find their objective - their future friend, as he's already been dubbed by Tubbo. Quackity is leaning on the outside wall, right next to an illuminated window, pint abandoned on his side as he looks at the night sky, one foot tapping on the ground as if following a silent melody. 

In the beginning, the plan had involved Niki leading the way, so that she could introduce the three of them and they could all make arrangements to meet the next morning at the training fields, so that they could all be friends and hang out and win the tournament. 

Said plan is instantly scrapped the instant Tubbo lets out a small gasp, eyes going wide as he hurries to duck around Niki, swiftly avoiding Fundy’s hand reaching out to grab at his shirt. The young human scrambles to reach the sitting bard, who naturally flinches and stares in confusion at the kid running towards him. 

As Tubbo finally gets close, he stops and points at Quackity’s head.

"Hi! You have a moth on your head." 

Fundy’s groan is so loud, it reaches the two of them even though he is currently a couple of steps behind and hiding his face in his hands. Niki’s high pitched giggles follow suit, and are soon joined by a shocked burst of laughter - loud, bright, just like his music - from the human sitting in front of Tubbo. 

"I- Hi! I do?" Quackity asks, voice tilting upwards as he looks up, as if he could be able to see his own head by rolling his eyes into his skull. 

Tubbo giggles seeing him go cross-eyed, and reaches up to gently take the moth in his hand. The little bug’s wings flutter a little as he is moved, apparently not glad to be disturbed from his perch, but he seems to begrudgingly accept his new spot since Tubbo holds him close to the light coming from the tavern’s window. His wings are very pretty, a light grey with black streaks into them that look like the splatters of ink that cover the pages of Tubbo’s various notebooks - his ever growing collection of plans and schematics for new and old projects. According to Tubbo's admittedly limited experience with moths, this one is smaller than one would expect. Very tiny and friendly - "just like you!" Wilbur would probably say if he were there. 

"Aw, look at him! Isn't he cute?" Tubbo coos at his new friend, prompting a slightly awkward chuckle from Quackity as the man moves just slightly away from the insect.

"I'm not a fan of bugs, but, uh- he does look fancy." Q eyes nervously the other two, but Tubbo ignores it, too taken with his new little pal to take care of trivial things like introductions. Niki just smiles warmly and opens her mouth to do so - possibly to also reassure the poor human - , but Tubbo is already speaking again.

"My friend can speak to bugs! He said moths always think of food and light." Quackity is once again seemingly stunned, stuck between the awkwardness of not knowing who the people surrounding him are and the confusion regarding the topic of discussion. He blinks, shooting a look towards the bug in Tubbo's hand before quickly looking away with a light grimace, choosing to focus on Tubbo himself.

"Well, little buddy better not get hurt trying to reach a flame!" Q jokes, letting out a small chuckle. Tubbo's face turns from awed to serious in a split second, his other hand moving to cup around the moth.

"That won't happen, I'll protect him!" He answers determinately, nodding solemnly towards Quackity, who can only gape for a moment before bursting out laughing again, shaking his head a little. 

"So, uh … Is there a reason why you've cornered me, or are you just fans?" He asks after a moment, once his chuckles have died down, turning a raised eyebrow towards Fundy and Niki, still standing a bit awkwardly behind Tubbo. 

"Oh, we are your teammates! We recognised your name and figured we should say hi." Niki explains with a smile, moving to crouch next to Tubbo so that the young human can move the moth closer to her.

"You- oh! Oh! -" Quackity exclaims, eyes widening and suddenly looking at them with less confusion "-That's good to know, what a coincidence!" He comments, chuckling to himself as he wipes a hand over his face, grimacing at the dampness that comes away with it - he really needs to wash up.

"And yet! The gods smile upon us." Niki says with a smile, watching as the moth flutters his wings to move from Tubbo's hand to hers.

Nobody seems to notice the unimpressed look that Quackity shoots towards the night sky, but Tubbo's eyes snap towards him the instant he lets out a deep sigh.

"I guess so. Anyhow. I'm going to pass out on my bed, I'll see you tomorrow morning?" The human asks, tone a sweet mixture of enthusiastic, hopeful and exhausted as he moves away from the wall - his guitar in one hand and the untouched mug of ale in the other. 

Tubbo nods enthusiastically, grinning widely at him; next to him, Niki smiles kindly, while Fundy goes for a much more noncommittal nod of his head.

Quackity's eyes linger on the three of them for just a moment more, as if trying to figure something out, then he nods to himself and raises the mug to mimic a toast in their honour, opening the door to the inside of the tavern.

"Don't keep me waiting!"

MULLET MULLET MULLET YES

philza being 100000 years old is something I can get behind tbh. my least favourite age hc, which I think I actually hate with a burning passion, is the tommy and tubbo were 9 during the first l’manberg wartime actually ignites a visceral rage in me

yeah!! I managed to make it to pink’s bedwars stream the other day and it was great. yeah lol I was lowkey upset too when foolish was added cause I had no idea who he was but he’s super fun so that’s cool! I like high energy stream more too cause I zone out super easily. unless it’s dream, he can stream anything and I’ll try my hardest to pay attention the whole time

ooooh vet that’s cool. oh my god c!dream going into the dentist after months in prison😭😭😭 I’m imagining c!techno as a beefy pig sitting in the kind of small couch/seats we have in the waiting room. Tommy would 100% bite and then get really mad about getting a toy that we give to little kids after their treatment lol

omg the pet wars 😔😔😔 so sad. everyone in the dsmp is emotionally attached to their animals than anything else and what can I say, I’m the same

oh yeah I also tend to take c!dream criticism to heart more idk why. I’m definitely way more defensive of c!dream apologists than any other they get so much unnecessary shit. though from your other anons it looks like c!sam apologists are getting more shit too which sucks but solidarity ig. oh man I get you I have to tell myself to like take a step back and not take everything so personally. another thing on twitter is that people who vehemently hate c!dream will sometimes just refuse to use /dsmp /roleplay tags like it’s not that hard, tweets without that have already been misinterpreted to hate on cc!dream which just pisses me off like you can have your shit opinion just tag it properly. and like when people tell them to include it they’ll be like “ohh the dream apologists harassed me.” and yeah people genuinely go around calling c!dream apologists abuse apologists and it’s terrible. like I don’t care if you have your bad takes and aren’t willing to discuss them, just tag it properly and don’t shit on c!dream apologists it’s not that hard. though it’s funny the other day, the first time I replied to some shut take on twitter, in a lighthearted manner too, I got instantly blocked and there’s this on person on twt, they’re also on tumblr, that blocks anyone that even slightly disagrees with them. oh well ig

also did you see about that lore that foolish did? it was certainly something

sorry for the late and shorter reply I got halfway through writing this then went to do something then just fell asleep and I just got a notification that ponk is live! and I’m awake so Imma go watch them

Jack Mulletfold I’m on my jack manifold mullet truther arc

The 9 year old thing was bad and I also hated the c!dream was 13 during the l’manburg war thing too like no this is all so much funnier if they are the ages that they are now. And like father like son fundy tried to set a timeline up too (his it’s been a year comment) like no dude stop time doesn’t exist unless it’s real world

With watching streams I’m the exact same way but I usually tune into quackity and tommy’s chill streams as well. I think it’s because I know them enough to care about what they’re saying so the lack of mental stimulation is made up for by my want to care

Wait fuck with the dentist thing would c!techno actually have to go to a vet instead because of anatomy stuff or-

C!Dream is probably missing a few teeth and after not brushing so long ugh

I would joke that c!sapnap’s done nothing wrong but I haven’t forgiven him for henry

I simply don’t user twitter I tried to post a shit post but I don’t understand the tagging system so it flopped. Stopped using it there and then. say what you want about me but you guys gotta know that I’m a petty bitch first and foremost. With the “harassment” stuff I’ve had my fair share of sending anons asking people to tag stuff right and half the time they just say why and then don’t do it. You wanna know why? Please thats why. I have a real issue with the abuse apologist stuff because like bro that’s a serious accusation and it’s overall just seems super inappropriate. It usually doesn’t get to me but if I’m in the wrong mood it can really fuck me up. When cc!wilbur said that every character was morally gray and that c!dream apologists were right & wrong about somethings I was kinda like “oh thank god a streamer I like doesn’t hate me for liking c!dream” and was hella embarrassed that I even let it get me that far skdhfk. Oh yeah about people blocking you there are so many people who have me blocked on here and while I totally encourage using your block button liberally and often I still notice and its like aw man… creeper…… so we back in the mines…….

You’re gonna have to be a little more specific I feel lije foolish has done a lot of lore, though I think I’ve missed most of it. Are you talking about truing to break into the prison? Hilarious that every character despite their opinion on c!dream has at one point attempted to break into the prison. If only c!dream knew that the only common enemy the server needed was a building they were supposed to stay out of

dont say sorry that’s illegal (/j) also the thing I like about anon is that you can come back and respond when ever is best for you? Makes me feel like an old western bar tender who is just vibing. That’s the dream social interaction tbh

The beefy designs are very cool, just from a general art focused character design spectrum. If I could do it I would, but I just haven’t gotten my anatomy game up to par yet, it’s a work in progress.

Personally from a more meta, personality perspective I’ve always been a fan of Techno’s who look absurdly normal and tired and confused. Never had the skill to draw them myself, the expressions always looked stupid, maybe I’ll try it again when I do my osmp design, idk there’s something about everyone fearing this supposed pvp god, the man who can go toe-to-toe against foes the likes of which the average person couldn’t fathom, and he shows up and he’s just

Sigh. Why? Like, I HATE beefy Techno designs, for many many reasons related to my excessive over analysis of real Techno's playstyle (watch any of his bedwars content and tell me he's not a speed/agility build, I will die on this hill). But yours is so GOOD and looks so NICE. I don't want to love it but I doooo. Why you do this to me?

Hehehehehe we win these

[rev-pirate]

Rev Idk how much you know about Yugioh (the card game) But which of these attributes do you think would fit Techno the best?

WIND
FIRE
WATER
EARTH
LIGHT
DARK

Oh man it’s been a While since i’ve been into yu-gi-oh. I actually still have my deck around here somewhere i think Lmao. And i used to watch it constantly when i was young. But uhhh

I think it largely depends on what characteristic of techno you want to lean into? But i think either light or dark are the strongest contenders i dont really see him fitting in with any of the other attributes well.

Dark is a potential if you want to lean more into the blood god aesthetic and lean more heavily into use of the graveyard and like sacrifices and such. Light is also a strong contender for the way cards seem to often hinge on having either high attack or high defense with little in between and/or effects that depend on like boosting a stat in order to make it high. As in like making your attack equal to the attack or defense of the card with the highest attack/defense on the field or do x to add 400 attack per x done or similar type effects for some beefy warrior monster cards but i may be wrong that’s just the sense i have. Because like canonically techno’s strength is largely manufactured and is boosted by his skill bc he need all the potions and distractions and strategies to be as powerful as he is when fighting competent opponents. So like i feel like that adapts well.
