So my oc story started out as me straight up ripping off dsmp. For most of the characters, it isn't really obvious that their inspired by dsmp characters anymore, except one.
One of the ocs is painfully obviously c!Wilbur, which is terrible because cc!Wilbur is a piece of shit, and I don't want people to think I support him.
Just,,, :(
.
#confessions#series: dsmp#ch: c!wilbur#no thats so real nonnie#i literally JUST redesigned an oc based off c!wilbur bcs i wanted them to look less like c!wilbur WUDBDJFJXK#🤝#(i wanted them to look less like him bcs idk his design is lowkey boring.. they deserve a skirt and funky patches okay)

The click clack sound of the butterfly knife stops smoothly. A heavy sigh and shuffling is heard in the background through the sound system. George knew this was going to happen as soon as Sapnap asked for help for this heist . Everyone in this team has been in the Syndicate for years now as they all have been trained to handle mishaps like the one currently happening.

The height was nauseatingly far.
Oh, but what a height it was to fall from.
When he plummeted, he felt the wind whistle past his damaged ears. It was frightening, but in a way, exhilarating. He was in control here. He made this choice.
And when his body impacted the water, he screamed, water threatening to flood his lungs before the pain took him first. But he fought, he struggled. He was going to live, and if he had to, he was going to make it everyone’s problem.
He was going to fight and show the world he at least was worth something. He was worth something. He broke the surface of the water, the icy air gripping his lungs.
and so we have reached our main character, A!Tommy from AHTFF!
I’m posting the art i made for my retired (incomplete) fic AHTFF, since most people agreed that i should post it. it’s a 70k+ 22 ch fic centered on SBI/Fantasy/Found Family, Timeline hopping, and sort of post-exile. Things get absurdly sweet in parts (though there is still a ton of drama and angst) so fair warning the cringe level might be a bit high for you.
Don’t follow me for DSMP content, i’m not producing art for it. I’m posting what i have, then it will be back to MDZS!

See Technoblade here. See R!Wilbur here. See AHTFF!Wilbur/Ghostbur here. See AHTFF!Philza here.

Bones!
I just read the new chapter! (and for some reason thought it was a good idea to go on tumblr before, but I immediately clicked out once I realized, "oh yeah, that's spruce anon's analysis the chapter, I should probably read the chapter before I get spoilers"). Bones works fast, but spruce works faster apparently. Props to spruce.
It's so amazing! I feel like your work is always the perfect balance of hurt/comfort and usually is defined with "it gets worse before it gets better" because authors love to put us through angst.
I'm not trying to analyze the chapter. I may be going into the writing and publishing world, but I'll save all that for the literature buffs. However, the way my eyes widened when I read "But Wilbur couldn’t bring himself to go." I had to reread that line three times. Also, black heart anon also pointed out that Wilbur/The Pythia has also been using "he" a lot more. And I didn't notice the other "Wilburs" in the narration until I went back, but it just feels so natural now. I love the purposeful name choices.
I know that you've mentioned some personal religious trauma has somewhat inspired Wil's situation, and that sounds awful. Even though you've said that yours was awhile back, I want to thank you for putting such vulnerability in your works. I wish religion wasn't like that. I'm a religious person, though I like to say I have a "faith" rather than a "religion" because "religion" seems too stuffy for me; it just makes me upset when there are people who have faced trauma from religion because for me, my faith is an anchor and keeps me grounded in my God, but I know so many people have not been given as nice of an experience. Religious toxicity is a real thing, and it needs to be addressed, and hopefully and eventually, fixed, though that is a long and hard road.
I couldn't figure out the snake reference, but then I just looked up "snake dsmp" (because I'm a cheater and impatient and don't like not knowing), and then it all clicked into place, and now I'm excited. And worried. I'm sure it'll be great! Thanks for such a great chapter!
- 🐼
(for context for everyone else on my blog this ask is referring to ch 16 of glass. yeah I really fell behind on asks lol)
props to spruce their analysis is so great!! whenever I open up my inbox to a wall of asks from them I get very excited
aaa thank you so much! I definitely try to keep things balanced. I never want my fics to feel like it's just angst for the sake of angst with no glimmer of hope in sight (not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not my preferred style).
very glad you're enjoying the purposeful name choices. I'm so happy I decided to go with the narration choice of using only 'the pythia' in the beginning of the fic because it's making this part so much more interesting to write.
I do want to clarify my bad experience with religion isn't severe by any means, and the inspiration i've taken from it for wilbur's situation is very very loose. it's more just me connecting a lot of confused feelings and questions I had about religion when I was still part of that group and applying them to a radically different and more intense fictional situation. I'm very glad that religion can be a positive thing for so many people, so I'm happy to hear it helps you so much! it's just not something I ever desire to return to
if you're still not sure about the snake go back and reread the first chapter of glass and pay attention to a certain characters outfit/design choices :)

i hate how there can be like 50 separate think pieces about cwilbur and ableist treatment in fandom but there's like zero thought or engagement about whether it's okay to exaggerate and villainize the most prominent (and for a while only?) addict character beyond recognition. like i think some people really need to analyze why they can only perceive cschlatt as an abusive monster when all his actions are foils to wilbur's

alright, here we go:
so. you’re probably wondering. how do these five get involved with the Gems?
...so, you remember how i mentioned the Human Zoo earlier? yeah...Green decided to Continue to be a b**ch
to keep this from getting too long, these five get kidnapped and taken to space (Fundy went for a walk to clear his head, Niki and Jack went to go find Fundy, Puffy was busy fishing, and Ponk was on her way home from work).
they get to the Human Zoo (which is a part of Green Diamond’s building), and they all manage to get free. Fundy is chased by Amethyst, Niki and Jack eventually run into Snowflake Obsidian, who chooses to help them, and Puffy and Ponk run into Bumblebee Jasper, who decides “F**k It, I Hate My Job Anyway, Let’s Get Out Of Here”
Amethyst decides that he’ll secretly help Fundy escape, and pretend that he was still searching for/chasing him.
while wandering around the Palace, they find the Bubble Room. Fundy is creeped out by the concept of a room that is practically full of the corpses of Gems or just unconscious Gems (referring to shattered/cracked Gems and the ‘incapacitated’/’poofed’ Gems). in this room, however, they find Clem’s cracked gem in a bubble. Fundy is curious and wants to rescue her after hearing Amethyst’s (mildly flawed) explanation of who she is. Amethyst is against this (knowing it could get both of them, but especially himself, in trouble), but Fundy is persistent and decides to hide the bubble in his bag that he brought with him. Amethyst begrudgingly lets him do this, just warning him that if he gets caught, and the bag is searched, it could cause major problems for everyone involved.
eventually, all of the humans, and the Gems that helped them, find a ship. Amethyst was hoping that he could just hide and help Fundy get on board, only to get found by Quartz. panicked, and not wanting the person who helped him escape to get in trouble, Fundy pulls Amethyst on board. Amethyst is now scared for his life should he ever return.
due to powers from one of Snowflake Obsidian’s other Gem halves, he can (partially) heal Clem’s gemstone. not perfectly, but at least she won’t die. so now Clem’s back!! traumatized and still technically injured, but alive!!
so, they all get to Earth and decide to try and find the rest of SBI since Clem technically has all of the things needed to bring Wilbur back. there’s a few corrupted Gems everywhere, but hey, how could things get worse?
well...Green has noticed that Clem went missing. he’s not happy about that.
and so, our Exploration Trio (Brown Agate/Schlatt, Azurite/Quackity, and Pyrite/Foolish) gets called together again.
and Brown Agate is the only one who is told why they’re being sent to Earth
so yeah! those are the main plot points so far. if you’re curious about anything else, maybe want me to go into more details about characters or plot points, then go right ahead! but yeah, i basically got reminded of a dsmp gem/Steven Universe au i started developing a few months back, and now here we are! there’s a lot <3 (also, yes, i did use the Gem names for most of the characters. just thought it’d be cool :])
ok ill bite. whats this about turning block people into rock people (the gem au btw)
HOO BOY, I'VE HAD THIS AU IN MY MIND FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW:
so! general gist of the au's premise: the dsmp characters and (part of) the plot get put into a Steven Universe kind of world, where there are Gems (rock aliens that have no gender. i'm pretty sure that's canon) and humans. the characters, depending on what i think would be cool, are split between these two species. it doesn't follow the plot of SU exactly (there is no Gem-Human hybrid as the main character, most of the Diamonds are actually better than they were canonically. kinda, anyway, and what exactly caused the "Gem War" is different), but there are a few similarities.
so! PLOT TIME (i'll be using the Gem names, 'cause why not)
(i apologize how long this took, there is just. So Much)
there are four Diamonds: Green, Black, Pink, and Amber Diamond, in order of age (these are c!Dream, Bad, Eret, and Wilbur, respectively). each of them get their own colonies, and eventually, Amber gets his own (Earth and the Moon).
Pink and Amber are besties :]
unlike in the actual show, when Amber asks the others to leave Earth alone, as to not destroy the planet, that request is respected.
the problem? Amber is unable to "grow" his own Gems, meaning that he requires help from the other Diamonds
the other Diamonds give him a few extra Gems here and there, including "undesirable" Gems: "defective" Gems (have multiple things wrong with them by Homeworld's standards; generally aren't viewed as functioning well/properly), "off-color" Gems (not necessarily defective, but have some things off with them physically (wrong color, for example) and/or have wonky powers), and "rogue/rebel" Gems (have no desire to follow the purpose the Diamonds have chosen for their Gem Type; ex. a Quartz of any type doesn't want to be a soldier or guard. "rebel" is generally used when a Gem is "at risk" of being a "problem," and "rogue" is basically shorthand for "is currently a problem"). Amber would end up showing these Gems more kindness than the other Diamonds did (except for Pink, but due to Reasons (*cough* Green) she can't be as open about it as Amber does)
through this, Amber receives four Gems that he will come to consider family: a "rebel" Jade and an Obsidian from Black Diamond (Phil and Kristin), a "rogue" Rose Quartz from Pink (Techno), and a "rebel" Lapis Lazuli (Clementine).
how did they each get labeled this way? well...
Jade didn't just want to sit around and deal with High-Ranking Gem BS, he wanted to go explore!! maybe even build stuff (which is i recall from the show was a job for Bismuths)!! and the Obsidian? she just followed him when he was sent off.
Rose Quartz was...more violent than RQ's typically are (they're generally healing/guard Gems. but this is obviously Techno we're talking about here. plus Anarchy™), and while Pink is generally accepting like Amber is, he feels pressured by the other Diamonds (Green specifically), so they just gently send any "troublemakers" over to Amber.
and the Lapis Lazuli? well...they're generally pretty quiet, keep to themselves, and listen to orders pretty well. not this one: she pretty much came out of the ground loud, a bit rowdy, and just generally telling everyone to F**k Off. Amber had to go and get her from Green himself before that guy decided to shatter her or something. when they finally went down to Earth, her first words to Amber were something along the lines of "Did I do something wrong?" Amber assured her that she didn't do anything wrong.
and now we have SBI + Kristin :]
so yeah. if it wasn't obvious, Amber pretty much believes that Gems should just be allowed to do what they want, as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
the SBI learns from humans that names exist, and give each other names. they're the same ones that. y'know. the characters have (Amber is Wilbur, Lapis is Clem, etc.)
Amber and Green...didn't get along. So A War Starts!
things are fine...until Green gets one of his Quartzes (Punz) to assassinate/shatter Amber, only stating to leave no witnesses. which he does. but, oh, what's this? Clem Witnesses It But Is Hiding! So Quartz Doesn't See Her!
Green somehow covers the whole thing up. the other remaining Diamonds are suspicious, however (Pink more so than Black)
SBI, over the next few centuries, research to figure out how to bring Wilbur back. and they find one! but it basically requires the essence of the other Diamonds and a Rose Quartz's tears. they already have Techno, so now they need the Diamond's help. Clem offers to go do it
things go well when asking Pink and Black. it's with Green that problems start (because of course it is, right?)
so. she gets to Green. he eventually decides "f**k it, i'll help bring Amber back, everyone's too suspicious of me already." Clem gets the Diamond essence, and gets ready to leave.
and then she sees Quartz. and gets rightfully pissed off
Green, now realizing that there Was a witness to Wilbur's assassination, kind of...panics. and does the one thing that comes to mind for him to do.
he cracks her gem. Badly
now. here's the reason why that's bad: That's The Equivalent Of Attempting To Murder Someone And Putting Them Into A Coma.
given, y'know, that people Already suspect him of having some role to play in Wilbur's death, and that people would probably get Pissed if they figured out what he did, he decides to bubble her gem (something that Gems can do; they quite literally create a bubble around the object they're bubbling) and teleport that bubble to his "Bubble Room" (something else gems can have, apparently), and forces all the Gems that were in the Throne Room/Palace he has to keep quiet about what happened and claim that Clem just never arrived there.
some Gems who are technically witnesses, who Will be important later, are an Amethyst guard (Purpled; didn't tell anyone because he was a direct witness (heard the yelling and subsequent cracking of Clem's gemstone) and was honestly scared for his life should no one believe him) and a Brown Agate (Schlatt; didn't say anything because he genuinely didn't give a s**t).
Pink and Green despise each other after this :]
for the next 2,000 years, various different things happened:
two new Gems joined Green's Court: an "overcooked ('defective')" Bumblebee Jasper (Tubbo; is basically just much shorter than Jaspers are, a consequence of the Gem staying underground too long. he's also one of the spotty bumblebee jaspers :]) and a "defective" Snowflake Obsidian (Ranboo; is technically a perma-fusion from birth. two gems combined before Ranboo was "born," thus making Ranboo a fusion. they literally cannot unfuse, because he will die). these two hate their jobs. due to Ranboo's circumstances (which, keep in mind, is something out of his control), they are practically treated like a Pearl (literally a servant Gem. like, they are the lowest on the Gem Hierarchy due to something Ranboo Can't Control. like, his options are either to Literally Die or be treated like a servant).
Clem is stuck in a Limbo between life and death
the rest of the SBI and a bunch of corrupted Gems are still on Earth. the other members of SBI view what happened to Clem as a threat.
Brown Agate is sent on missions with an Azurite (Quackity; relatively High-Ranking Gem in Black Diamond's Court) and a Pyrite (Foolish; not technically a High-Ranking Gem, but Pink is really close to him, so they made him High-Ranking because F**k Green, She Does What She Wants <3). these three basically hate each other, but Azurite and Pyrite hate each other less.
so...in the show, the Diamonds created a Human Zoo. in the show, this was to preserve humans so that they wouldn't go extinct from the Earth getting destroyed. in this au, it's because Gems genuinely don't understand that humans are sentient too. so like, this wasn't entirely done out of malice. again, not entirely
so...now that we've got caught up on the past two millennia, now let's enter the 21st century! :D
now we finally get introduced to some humans :]
Puffy: a sailor/fisherwoman who lives in a seaside town with her adopted daughter Michelle. she has always dreamed of adventure, maybe even a sea adventure :]
Niki and Jack: live in a small town. Niki is a baker and Jack works at a motel in town :]
Ponk: lives in the same town as Puffy. they're a doctor :]
Fundy: a teen interested in coding and stuff. doesn't have..the best home life, but it doesn't deter him from his coding dreams. he lives in the same town as Niki and Jack :]
i'll continue this in another reblog, give me a bit. hit a character limit

my birthday is september 3rd which coincidentally happened to be the day of 2022 that c!crimeboys decided to end in the most depressing way possible so there I was, tucking my little (1 year older) head into bed, feeling quite jazzed, and as I'm scrolling on my phone I see an edit with c!crimeboys content that I've not seen which sends me into panic mode so I find the vod and 40 mins later I'm breaking down crying on my birthday 😨😨 damn you c!crimeboys you win again,,,my birthday will forever be tied to the day c!wilbur sailed off to fucking utah or killed himself or something 😔😔

“Tommy.” He saw the tears in her mismatched eyes and shifted nervously, watching her touch his face and smile. “Tommy you’re here.” She laughed softly. “I wasn’t expecting to see you…if you know what I mean.” She was almost exactly like the Puffy at home, it was just her eyes. One was hazel, and the other was blue.
“Well…it's complicated, innit?” He gave her a lopsided smile, and she couldn’t help but gently squish his cheeks.
I tacked Q + BBH on this because there is no mention of them in the fic or dialogue for them. BBH is my favorite design tho hngh, Maybe its cuz i love demons so much.
I never really settled on Puffy's design, i hope you like it tho!
