Sometimes you need to look dramatically into the snowy wind as your cape flourishes behind you.

...and sometimes you need to draw it

Did you like the new ending :3 (fuck the old one)

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!! It's the best logical way the dsmp could've ended AND because it's so open-ended, it leaves a lot of room for the fandom to build on, which isn't something you see a lot in media nowadays.

HOWEVER, it has been really bothering me these past few days since it was released, and I've had complex feelings about it that I haven't really been able to figure out until somewhat recently. Though, this is probably just me lol!

I'm gonna try to make this as short and legible as I can, but as you know I'm so very bad at that so sorry in advance.

Dsmp has been my main source of entertainment and an escape from just life in general since I first started getting into it—which was back in mid-2020 or so, but that was less of dsmp itself and more of the fandom. Though I still really enjoy the content creators content itself, I've watched them less and less and on the occasion that I see a clip or quote by them (especially Tommy) it's SO jarring how much they've changed and matured, and it's only a reminder of how I've done the same. That's the feeling I got when seeing the new lore. Everything has changed, people have matured, relationships have drifted apart, and we are living in the present.

It's like the feeling of finding an old toy that you distinctly remember loving so very much way back then and realizing you feel indifferent to it now. You've changed, your taste of things you enjoy changed, your relationships with people have changed, and you've grown.

I don't want to go back but I don't want to stop reminiscing, and this ending has made me realize that.

So, i went to a convention today. And checking out the comic artist section i found an animator doing sketch commisions for 45 dollars. He said hed do any character.

So today i commisioned a drawing of mr cycle from Ran Lamarre, an animator whos been working in the industry since 1984, who worked on the original animated tmnt series, animated batman series, care bears, the animated transformers movie, caillou, astro boy, jem, and im assuming a whole bunch more

He was so cool, dude

This is a PROFFESIONAL drawing of mr cycle, guys. A real proffesional, like, hes been doing this for forty years. I payed a proffesional animator of forty years to draw a minecraft character from a youtube series. Im actually going insane

Back during the time between us knowing The Book existed and us knowing it was the Revival Book, I spent. Way too many hours thinking about it? And about what it could be, what it could mean. Something so powerful and dangerous and something that gave Schlatt so much power throughout his reign-- what could it possibly be?

I had two big ideas that I proposed to my friends at the time. One of them was what we got: the written directions for resurrection. I... was never as attached to this idea as I was to my other thought. Resurrection was a big topic on the server at the time and it seemed like other people were researching it too, as my qpp pointed out, but even if that weren't true-- my other idea was always more compelling to me.

Because my other idea? Was that it was the script.

ok but real talk the dsmp was fuckcing crazy like the fandom was crazy the creators were crazy it was all crazy

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

no actually I can’t stop thinking about this. if canonically the world around the dsmp is like normal with civilisation and shit that basically means c!dream was getting random ass people to leave their life behind and live in this isolated obscure patch of wilderness so they could all be One Big Happy Family which like… is literally just a cult he was trying to form a cult. that’s amazing I love that. probably not intentional but fuck it that’s canon in my mind now. he's not even doing it on purpose but if you showed him the bite model he’d be like “oh this is cool I need to do all this 🥰”

fighting the urge to make a "cfundy as the hetalia-style personification of l'manburg" au right now

@wilboobers CONGRATS ON 200 FOLLOWERS!!! i love doing dtiys and yours was so cool i had to do it right away :D

[southern--downpour]

MY WORK FOR @dsmpherozine !! @salt-oftheearth did SUCH a great job on the script and it was so fun to work on this with everyone!!!!! So happy with how this came out and SO fuckin hyped seeing everyones works put together!!!!!

[off-the-rails-raccoon]

Quick, what about c!Tommy always needing to fiddling with something in his hands because it’s soothes him? And he used to chew on his sweater and nails but c!Tubbo went ‘Nope, not on my watch’ and made him a ring toy he could chew on without hurting his teeth.

And if you’re for the hybrid demon c!Tommy headcanon, him and c!Ranboo sometimes chirp at each other happily, both their tails wagging.

(Tubbo has no idea what they are saying or if they actually understand each other, but they’re bonding and he’s happy about that)

c!Tommy having the instinct to chew on things will never not be one of my favorite headcanons, I like to think the habit started when he was still a little lad; which is why it's so soothing to him.

"loving to the point of invention" is SO c!Tubbo and no one can tell me otherwise!!

I'd be willing to bet money that c!Tommy would forget about the ring when he's too deep in thought and will instead just chew whatever is in hand, including someone else's hand. c!Beeduo have horror stories and scars to prove it.

When Michael started teething, everyone thought it was because of c!Tommy and the fact Michael had already started copying a few of his other behaviors (including his resting angry face, funnily enough). It took c!Ranboo actually doing research via asking c!Phil for them to learn it was normal.

I think it'd be so funny if c!allium duo did chirp at each other but only one of them was actually communicating and the other was just mindlessly chirping, and I can't for the life of me figure out who would be who. Like, one of them think about how cool it is that they're able to communicate with their hybrid sounds despite being different species and the other being extremely happy to just mindlessly make and copy noises.

Just realized I've never made a post about any of my EmeraldDuo/BorealTrio/Syndicate Friendship Emerald headcanons, so here we go:

Technoblade originally the gifted three emeralds to Philza, but later two of them were crafted into matching earrings for both Phil and Techno to wear. That left one extra emerald left over, which they didn't really have any plans for...

Until Tommy moved in with Techno. Eventually Techno crafted the third emerald into an earring he intended to gift to Tommy... but then the festival happened and Tommy switched sides, so obviously that idea was thrown out the window immediately. The third earring with shoved off into some dusty corner to be forgotten, just like any other sign of Tommy.

After Ranboo moved in and Technoblade started slowly but surely warming up to him, Technoblade eventually started to consider giving the third earring to them, as they'd become a pretty integral part of the trio by then, and Technoblade kinda wanted something to show for it.

No actual action was taken toward this until after the Syndicate was formed though, at which point Niki was also quickly becoming a beloved member of their commune. So ultimately what they ended up doing was splitting the third emerald in half and giving Ranboo and Niki each a half-and-half emerald-and-another-precious-stone earring to match Phil and Techno's full-emerald earrings. And now the whole Syndicate has matching earrings, all made from the original Friendship Emeralds :)

And here's a fairly quick drawing I did of what they might look like:
