#but Ranboo was LOUD

[rat-rosemary]

Ranboo couldn't breathe. He had fallen into a spiral for seemingly no reason, and now he couldn't get any oxygen in, no matter how hard he tired to follow the square breathing technique Techno had shown him.

Ranboo

"No no no please I can't I cant-"

The walls were closing around him, obsidian burying him alive-

Ranboo listen

Old wounds opening once more, all alone but it felt like he was back in New Lmanburg, screaming and accusations of things he doesn't remember doing-

"I swear I tried so hard I didn't mean it please-"

RANBOO

The next gasping breath he took felt like it was ripped out of him, tears of relief as his form was changed against his will, the shift enough to snap him out of the spiral, like shoving your hands in ice.

Ranboo slumped into the floor, his new wings covering him, soft and fluffy and grounding.

Ranboo

No nevermind, back to panic time. Because that was Dream's voice and Dream was supposed to be in prison and no one was supposed to know about the panic room-

But the room was empty.

"Dream?"

Ranboo called out, his voice rough, cracking embarrassingly

Yes?

"I- Where are you?"

He leaned against a wall,pushing himself up into shaky legs

I'm right here

Dream's voice cooed back, sounding completely directionless. There was something about it that made Ranboo's shoulders loosen, and he feels a bit guilty about it. Dream might be their God, but he's also Dream.

"Here where? Y-You're supposed to be in prison."

Ranboo turned around, covering himself with his wings as he searched the small room. There isn't much to it, there shouldn't be anywhere for Dream to hide in, yet he can't find him. He doesn't even have a couch in here!

I am in prison.

"What? Then. Oh void I have actually gone insane"

A chuckle sounded on his head, and Ranboo felt like something had nudged his mind, a pyscic equivalent of a cat bumping it's head against his forehead.

No, I'm in your head. Don't have another panic attack.

"Wha- How? Why?"

He keeps spinning around, scouring the room. Somehow he would be more relieved if he found Dream now.

You were praying

Dream starts, pausing awkwardly for a moment

Very very loudly

"No I wasn't! I was-"

Panicking. How do you think animals pray to me Ranboo?

"Oh."

Yeah

They fall into silence and Ranboo sits down again, still shaky and unsteady.

It does feel better to not be alone tho. To have the quiet reassurance of someone else with him, even if it's Dream and even if he's not really here.

So... what happen?

"It was... nothing."

It didn't feel like nothing. Ranboo you have no clue how loud you were.

Ranboo squeezed his eyes closed, hiding his face in his hands. Void, this was his personal hell.

"I guess," he hesitated, fluffing up his wings and curling up further under them as he hid his face in his knees, "I've been overwhelmed lately I think? Which is stupid because all the wars are over because- uh."

Because I'm in prison?

"Yes! Or at least they were supposed to be. But everyone is so tense and there's all these politics and ugh! It's supposed to be better now! But it's so scary all the time"

That sucks buddy

Dream's voice had a tilt of dry humor and bitterness that Ranboo didn't really get

I don't know, go take a swim about it? Get away from all this shit?

"I can't swim Dream, I'm an enderman hybrid!"

Of course you can, just-

And then Ranboo was falling over, barely catching himself before he face planted the cold obsidian as his wings and legs dissappear, being replaced with a tail.

"...I'm a seal."

Laughter rang in his head once more, and Dream let go of his form, the tail staying just a few seconds more before splitting back into his normal legs

You're a seal

"And I can just. Do that. And jump into the ocean. And get no burns"

Yes, why would you?

"Well, because I'm an enderman-"

You are. Until you're a seal. And then you're not.

"Oh."

All the response Ranboo got was a small wave of fondness and the mental equivalent of an eye roll. He stood once more, leaning against a wall as he made his way out of the panic room.

From there he walked straight to the ocean, feeling a sticky mix of terror and wonder as he reached the shore.

Dream had left him when he left the panic room, but he once more reached for the god, shaking as he reached the waves bobbing gently against the ice.

With a leap of faith Ranboo jumped in, squeezing his eyes shut as he sank.

Swim

And Ranboo did, opening his eyes and sliding across the water, kept warm by the fur scattered across him. His skin did not burn.

On one hand I love seeing people talking positively about my source but on the other everyone keeps calling him a child (he's an adult) and a teenager (he's 20). It's like "WOAH TOMMYINNIT IS SO BADASS even though he's like a child" he's literally not. He's literally not you're just refusing to acknowledge he's a whole ass adult man now.

Anyways he's on fire rn /pos

[metfell]

Can I be real hell or high water I am not becoming a ranboolive fan again

[dreamcatcherwriting]

I'm not too active on tumblr, but I thought I'd promote my fic here a bit! It's almost to forty kudos.

Summary screenshotted below but basically, it's a genloss fic where Hetch and Ranboo are friends before the show. It's planned to be extremely long, and extremely sad.

Mind the tags; it covers quite a few heavy themes, like childhood abuse and its aftermath. Also, there's star symbolism. And flower symbolism. And sign language. And Hetch is AroAce. (Sorry I'm really proud of this fic lmao)

If you do decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy! ^^ Come scream at me on twitter (.dreamcatcher356)

[felidthing]

i truly believe tommy tubbo and ranboo can do whatever they want forever for what they had to go through when they were 16-17. i do not care what petty drama comes out about any of them they were in the fucking trenches

[mint-mumbles]

Guys, I have the last 35 minutes of the lost Slimecicle stream!

(Heads up: it's on my alt YouTube account, Androgynous Enby)

I’m also manually adding subtitles to the video (since it’s illegible to the auto generator and I presume a lot of people), but it’s taking a while. The first 3 minutes currently have subtitles and the rest will be out soon!

[shroombies]

Ranboo: I held one direction!

Ranboo: I held them all in my arms and told them "it'll be okay, be gay to each other"

Techno, trying to reason with Sam: Dude, Dream doesn't care! He doesn't care, you have the wrong hostage, I care - NO!

[Ranboo was slain by Awesamdude]

Dream, angrily shouting: TECHNO! Go go go!
