[judasgot-it]

Hellooooooo! I would like to request, how do you think hunting dogs would be when they play Minecraft with their s/o🤭

I have so many asks in my inbox so I'm now getting to them. Also, minecraft time babyyyyyyyyyyy

Headcanons: playing minecraft with the hunting dogs

Jouno

He can't really play along with you since it's point-and-click, so sometimes he'll partake in listening in on your Minecraft sessions that you play with everyone else

He gives unnecessary advice and will insist on killing any mob you spot. Even the sheep :(

Jouno also named all of your dogs. He was heartbroken when Teruko killed one on accident and demanded retribution

You give him a play-by-play of the shenanigans that go on in the community server. He tries to get you to kill Tecchou and if you're playing during work hours he'll mess with Tecchou or Tachihara occasionally.

You built a house for the two of you in game. There's a homemade torture chamber inside just so he can enjoy the sounds of pistons and villagers being pushed into lava.

It's constantly being repaired due to Teruko's griefing

For the most part he does his own thing and adds commentary. Does cuddle with you when it's a more chill game.

Tecchou

You are the classic "builder vs. Miner" couple

He collects flowers for the two of you and gets distracted a lot

Insists on building iron golems for villages and fighting pillagers

You will get distracted EASILY with this guy

He won't play easy mode with him he has to do it hard mode. He needs the challenge

Tames every dog he sees and is sad when he loses one

Treats them like they're your kids

Your house is overrun with them. Stop him please.

They're all named after foods.

His builds aren't aesthetic, definitely a dirt hut kind of man. He'll mine diamonds for you though

If you're a miner then good luck

You'll have a beautiful dirt hut. Or a pretty cave ♡

Probably beat the game in like 3 minutes and is now just fucking around

Has no idea how potions and enchantment work tho. You need to build that shit for him, since he probably has more levels than you and can enchant all your stuff.

Dude is just gonna use some random iron sword he found in a villager's chest anyway. He cares about providing for you more than himself.

Rip to whoever he robs. Probably local villages. He lives like he's homeless. Probably is.

Most likely he would just live in an old desert temple or village if it weren't for you

Also insists on riding a horse everywhere. Doesn't matter if there's a faster method. He wants to be a cowboy ○]:)

Loves the Minecraft farmer life

The one building he does have is a stable. His horses deserve the best life. He doesn't even have a bed most of the time.

Will gift you all of his goods tho. Anything you want? He'll get it. Only the best. Man will go to the ends of the blocked earth to get you a mushroom cow if you want. He's that guy.

Tachihara

Redstone god

Literally will automate the whole game

Find him a dungeon and BAM automated

Don't try and test him, he's just good

But he's hopeless in the beginning, he runs away screaming and crying from creepers

Protect him

After you beat the game and go to the ender he is PROVIDING

THIS MAN KNOWS HIS SHIT

Literally, don't let him go mining he will die 30 different ways

If you do at least protect him. Seriously.

He will most likely die from a creeper. they are his mortal enemy. Creepers? Awwwwwww man.

But do let him build. He's just a natural genius

Probably builds like the notre dame in a day

you guys have the cutest house. builds you whatever you want, wherever you want.

Puts your beds next to each other and is like :3

Cries over creepers tho. They destroy his builds all the time. He loves his Minecraft cats and names them after his friends ♡

Has a dog named after you. He's sentimental like that

He built half of the buildings everyone uses. Is at war with everyone else since they keep letting mobs destroy them

HE DOES NOT SLEEP IN THE GAME

And then has the audacity to cry about phantoms attacking him even when he has OP armor.

When he's building you need to be there other wise he'll 100% die from fall damage probs. He just always does.

Getting materials with him is great, you find the best spots for your Minecraft dates

Teruko

She's the worst

Literally has nothing

She will just keep getting flint and steel and burning shit

or finding TNT and blowing up random shit

With nothing she will keep fighting whatever she can

Lives off of raw meat and villager farms

Please keep her alive

If it's a community server she is a serial griefer

Seriously someone stop her

She relies on everyone's leftover stuff from their mining trips

Will follow you when you go down and demand a 50/50 split

Does protect you from mobs tho

Best person to take to the nether for some reason. She's just immune to fall damage and lava.

Will always luck out and find exactly what you're looking for.

She will never destroy Tachiharas Redstone farms. But will destroy his house. They are at war rn

She declared war on everyone and took over several villages. She's trying to establish a tax system

Fukuchi

Played for like 3 days

Has a house that's abandoned

Teruko lives there sometimes

Tachihara put up a poster of two guys kissing right by his house and no one has taken it down

Fukuchi doesn't even know the chaos his Minecraft home causes on the daily

There's now a giant dick-building contest right next to it and no one wants to admit a loss.

It builds morale

everyone plays when he's gone on some special meeting. It's unspoken.

is being a selkie genetic? random? cursed at birth? cursed later in life?

love the selkie au :3

it's sort of 'genetic' in the sense that it can be passed on!

in the selkie AU there's three types of selkie: true, manmade, and Purple.

Purple isn't really a true selkie because them being a selkie came after they were nearly killed by Minecraft getting erased during AVM! since they've beaten the ender dragon they're categorized as a player and a stick, causing them to be a little broken when they're spat back out. being a selkie doesn't come naturally to them and initially the change is a little painful and concerning, but after a while things stabilize for them!

meanwhile, true selkies are typically humans cursed to be selkies. the only true selkie in the AU is Alan! no one really knows much about them, but from what the legends say, the closest that they can get out of it is that it's something of a curse for a human who abuses their power. it's not totally clear if there's other factors involved, but that's their best guess.

they're incredibly shrouded in mystery, and as far as anyone can tell, no one has FOR SURE seen a selkie for a very, very long time!

true selkies can regrow their coats, and if they can draw sticks, they can also give their creations the ability to be a selkie! typically this isn't a choice on their part.

manmade selkies are drawn by true selkies, and this includes Dark, Chosen, and SC! Victim is also partially selkie, but when their coat eventually grew in, it never shed, so they don't really have full claim to the title of selkie. they can use another selkie's coat if they can get their hands on it, though!

manmade selkies cannot regrow their coats, and tend to be a little bit smaller than your average true selkie! they're more durable though, as manmade sticks tend to be. their coats, however, don't withstand damage as well. the coats work up until a certain amount of fabric is destroyed.

Chosen had their coat stashed away by Alan after AVA 2, and (as well as Dark's) was destroyed in AVA 3. Dark uses some technology to try and repair their coat, but it's very hard on their body due to being based on virus technology!

The Ruler of the End - 3

Twisted Wonderland x Ender Dragon Male Reader

That morning, Tenebris took off first before Yuu and Grim, in a white muscle shirt and a pair of jeans that fitted once he fully transformed into a human. Despite how restricting it was.

The dragon had scowled as Yuu tried to persuade him into changing into a more human form,  “Do I really have to? The students aren’t gonna notice a handyman fixing. windows, aren’t they?”

“With that bare body that’s sculpted like the gods, of course they’re gonna notice!” 

He scowled deeper.

“Don’t pout, Tenebris. Even if you didn’t need to wear clothes in your old world, at least you can put some on now.”

“I have an internal heater in my body, the cold doesn’t affect me and if someone tried to hurt me, then they’ll know better.”

“Please!”

“… Ah, give me the stupid clothing.”

Hence his situation now, adjusting the jeans that seem to love pinching his human legs. He withheld a growl of annoyance as he flew to one of the towers in need of window repair. Once arriving, he examined the glass pane; it looked like someone threw something out, the hole with jagged and sharp edges.

Tenebris clicked his tongue at the sight, he then peered at the inside of the classroom. Desks and chairs filled the room, empty of students as it was still early in the morning. With steady hands, he got to work. It was an easy yet tedious process of removing the glass. Once he got it out, he put it in his horde before fishing a shulker box out.

Holding the bow in his tail, he filed through the various colored glass panes. 

I doubt they would appreciate tinted coloured glass in a room that’s meant for studying, The dragon thought as he picked a clear see through glass before placing it in. 

Despite being the ruler of the End, he wasn’t a stranger to repairs and other simple things like cooking and farming. It was part of the Endermen’s lesson on the three realms; The Overworld and their players and mobs, the Nether which housed fiery creatures and piglings, and the very first lesson he had was about the End. Because not only does a ruler have to be powerful, they have to be knowledgeable. 

He remembers his first trip to the Overworld, hidden from the players. He had watched them kill mobs and animals for ingredients and materials, how they cooked them for food, and how they mined and crafted things of value. While some players had turned to hunters, others had become builders. An example was Grian, a nice yet chaotic fellow who built amazing structures that Tenebris had never seen.

The dragon’s favorite one was the giant rock entity.

There were others that the dragon had liked like Shelby and LDShadowlady, both women were friendly and amazing builders. Although, LDShadowlady was a peculiar player with an interesting humour. Though, her husband Smallishbeans wasn’t any less funny. The two of them made quite a couple.

There were those who made amazing food that made Tenebris’s mouth water, and that was one of his first tasks from his nanny.

Feeling satisfied with his work, Tenebris went on to work on the other windows that are in need of repair.

*-*

“Ah, it’s you.”

“What the fuck are you doing here, lizard!?”

Tenebris made a face at the lion man in front of him. How rude, he had thought.

When he finished his assigned work, he had reported to the headmaster who had let him take a break. Content, the dragon had decided to explore the school, trying to familiarize himself with the building and its other structures.

Not wanting to disturb the students, he had taken to the outdoors where he wondered into a shop with a sign ‘Mr. S Mystery Shop’, it slightly resembled a cottage but bigger. Intrigued, Tenebris made his way into the shop to meet a dark skinned man with white face paint and a top hat, who had a very salesman-like voice. And immediately, he was overwhelmed with the loud salesman who kept calling him ‘Big demon’. 

He had left the shop a bit frazzled and dizzy. He wasn’t used to loud personalities, accustomed with the quiet and serious endermen of his world, and he never interacted with the players of the Overworld who were loud, chaotic - and at times - destructive.

But before he left, the man named ‘Sam’ had told him of a greenhouse which they call the ‘Botanical Garden’ and gave him directions there. The dragon was interested, if he could learn about the types of plants here, maybe he could use that knowledge to help him and Yuu survive.

He has no worry about the monster named Grim.

Upon finding and entering the garden, he was astounded by the multitudes of greenery and colours, various plants of shape, colours, and sizes. Some he recognized like roses, petunias, and primroses, but there were some that he could not identify.

During his wonder, he was not mindful of his surroundings and stepped on something soft, fuzzy, and long. He immediately retracted his foot as a grunt of pain followed by a growl sounded at the same time. Bewildered, the dragon looked down. “A tail?”

“Watch where you’re going!”

Turning to the familiar deep voice, Tenebris was met with familiar green eyes and a brown mane. Fangs glinted in the sun as those same eyes glared at him in annoyance, brown skin lightened by the sun giving him a golden morning. But no matter how handsome the lion man was, his rude words and a snarl made the dragon deadpan.

Hence the situation now.

Still with the face, Tenebris pursed his lips into a line. “I was just taking a look at the campus, to answer your question.” He then takes a look at the uniform the lion wore. “Shouldn’t you be in class?”

The lion man huffed before rolling to his side, “Who cares, I don’t give a damn about that.”

Frowning, the dragon crossed his arms. “You should be in class if you want to graduate. You’re setting a bad example for your underclassmen.”

The lion man scowled, “Godammit, go away. You’re ruining my sleep.”

“You have plenty of sleep to catch up at night, now’s the time for classes.”

“Argh,” the lion man groaned. “Try making me if you’re so bothered about that.”

“…”

As much as he wants to carry this rude lion man to class, Tenebris can’t force him if he doesn’t want to. There’s a limit on what he can force people to do and what he can’t force. Besides, he feels like something bad would happen if he tried to pick up the lion man.

Resigning, the dragon sighed as he seated himself beside the lion man, glancing at him. The round ears twitched at the slightest sound, so unlike the pointed ears of the feline hybrids. “So, what are you exactly?”

“You’re still here,” the lion grumbled in irritation, despite knowing his presence the whole time.

Ignoring the comment, Tenebris continued. “ You’re something similar to the feline hybrids in my world, yet you seem more dangerous than them.” he leaned closer to inspect the round ears on top of the man’s head. “Especially your ears and tail, they are different.”

The lion man did not respond to his question, disheartening the dragon a bit. Did he really annoy him that much? He just wanted to know what kind of species he is. He scowled at the lack of response, maybe he was annoying the lion by asking him these questions after trying to force him to class.

Perhaps he should leave him alone, if it will give him a sense of peace. 

As he was about to stand up, the lion man spoke. “You really don’t have lions in your world?”

Tenebris’s ear appendages perked up at the voice, a sudden delight at the response. “There are lions, but they live far away, so I’ve only seen a few of them.”

A hum from the lion before he replied, “ The hybrids you call are what we call beastmen, and I’m a lion beastman for one.”

The dragon’s interest has been perked, “So there’s other beastmen in this world?”

“Obviously, you really think there’s only one kind? Use your head, lizard.”

Tenebris’s expression fell to a frown, “I’m not a lizard! I’m nothing like my distant cousins! Also, I now have a name and it’s Tenebris!”

The lion man - whom the dragon still doesn’t know the name of yet - turned on his back and glanced at him. “Now? You must live a sad life if you weren’t given a name.”

“Considering that my parent died to give birth to me, I would stay, it's the norm for us Ender Dragons.” The dragon deadpanned.

The lion man glanced at him, incredulous at the fact. “Damn, now that's depressing.”

Tenebris tilted his head, “Depressing? How is it depressing? Sure the multiple hunters that come to kill me because I’m the ruler and the strongest in my realm and my huge magic supply is a pain in the neck but it’s not so terrible.”

“. . .Maybe being the second prince is not so bad after all.”

“Wait, you're a prince?” the dragon asked. “No wonder you have a royal air around you, and it’s not just the handsome looks.”

“Oh,” The lion man grinned as he teased Tenebris. “So you think I’m handsome, huh?”

The dragon’s body flushed hot from either embarrassment or being flustered by the fact he admitted the rude lion was handsome to his face, he did not ponder as he hotly replied. “Be quiet, don’t tease me! And I still haven’t gotten your name!”

The lion man laughed, “The name is Leona, Leona Kingscholar.”

*-*

The first day of being in a new world and Yuu gets into trouble.

Tenebris had wanted to share Yuu some cookies when he got wind of the statue incident - he then learned it was mostly Grim and a new student’s fault - so he was on his way to bring some snacks for the human.

He was going to the cafeteria for some milk when he noticed a loud commotion going on inside. Speed-walking, he walked into the sight of a falling chandelier, and two humans and a monster under it about to be crushed.

Especially when one of those humans was Yuu.

Wings out, he rushed towards them as the chandelier gravitated towards the ground. With his hands and tail, he managed to scoop them from the ground and out of the path of the chandelier - which made an ear wincing crash to the floor. Looking at the destroyed chandelier, the dragon let out a sigh of relief as he looked down at Yuu, who stared at him in shock and relief.

The other human held at his side was a ginger with messy hair, mischievous scarlet eyes, and a heart painted on the side of his face. And judging by the uniform, he was a student here. Which also means he was the freshman who got Yuu into trouble.

Grim was in a complete daze as he was held by his tail.

When he fluttered to the ground, he had let go of the three when another human rushed towards them in worry. He had somewhat cobalt blue hair with turquoise eyes and a spade painted on one side of his face. He was immensely worried when he was with them, “I’m sorry! I didn’t think about the landing!”

“Didn’t think!?” Yuu shouted, the first time the dragon had seen the human angry made him jump in surprise. “You literally shot him - “ they pointed at the ginger. “ - To the sky without a thought!”

The ginger, who was panting, then screams. “ARE YOU AN IDIOT!?”

Tenebris’s ear appendages lowered at the volume as he winced.

“If it wasn’t for him - “ a finger was pointed at the dragon “ - We wouldn’t even be alive! Shit, if the headmaster founds out what happened-“

“If I. . .Find out?” a familiar voice said slowly, as if straining to rein his patience.

The dragon watched as the three of them slowly and creakily turned to the enraged headmaster, who was fuming from head to toe. The ginger then said pathetically, “Ah, headmaster.”

The dragon covered his ears as the headmaster shouted at the three, already having to endure a high level of volume. Ah, what a day.

Tenebris sauntered towards the wrecked chandelier, examining it to see if it could be fixed. The metal rods were bent in angles but nothing like heat and a hammer to bend it back up, the metal itself is not too hard to mold and the candles are easy since he has a shulker box full.

But. . .

The dragon took hold of a gem that’s broken in half, its glowing light dimming until it’s cold. It could be salvaged, but I’ll need another one of these-

“Mr. Tenebris, what are you doing?”

The said dragon turned to the headmaster, “I can fix this,” he ignored the shocked gasps or shrieks as he held up the broken gem. “But I’ll need another one of these if I were to make it exactly as it is.”

“A magic stone!?” the headmaster exclaimed. “There were originally from Dwarf mine, but I;m not sure if there’s anymore.”

“I’ll go!” the blue-haired human volunteered. “I’ll go and get a new magic stone!”

“Are you sure?”

“If it will prevent us from getting expelled!” Yuu added.

“Alright, I’ll give you until tonight for you to get a new magic stone.”

The three gave no haste before rushing out of the cafeteria. Tenebris blinked after them before going back to the chandelier, “Do you have somewhere I could fix this?”

*-*

Yuu wanted to cry.

First Grim burned an important statue, then they broke a billion dollar chandelier, and now they’re being chased by a monster that looks like Grumpy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Seriously, what’s with their luck!?

God, they wished they brought Tenebris with them, he would surely beat this thing in a minute! But no! The dragon was back at school, fixing the chandelier they - or Deuce with Ace and Grim’s help - broke! Agh, why is it the time I need him the most is when he’s needed somewhere else!?

*-*

Fixing the chandelier was not a hard job, all he needed was the magic stone. Wiping the sweat off his brow, Tenebris counted the money he had received from the headmaster, and the extra cash he made from fixing the chandelier. This would be probably enough for now, the question is what to make for dinner?

Walking back to their dorm, the dragon entered the pristine gate of chiseled quartz pillar with prismarine stands holding it. The large space of grass has now been converted into a farm field with growing vegetables on one side while the other side was a garden of various flowers that he had in his horde. The Ramshackle dorm wasn’t so ramshackle anymore, now built of stripped dark oak wood walls and a woof that fitted that body of the dorm painted in visually appealing colours, the double doors newly made of birch wood, and the glass windows newly installed.

The inside was clean and tidy, with the old wallpaper torn down and replaced with a newer and better one. The furniture was either replaced or fixed by yours truly, and lastly, he managed to fix the water system and the heater.

The dragon couldn’t help but smile as he looked at his work, pleased with himself. It took a while and a lot of materials and scavenging, but he managed to make it new. Although, he wonders if he should’ve used cobblestone for the base and a quartz pillar for the roof? Or maybe a coloured terracotta for the roof while the body is prismarine? 

He should ask Yuu for their opinion.

For Life-Ender :3

It's not water soluble, so it will work even in the city of tears or if you were to find yourself in water. It makes broken shellwood stronger if you let it cure all the way.

-Archer

...And you give this to me for what reason? Do you believe Life-Ender in need of repairs? Have you any reason to think I'm incapable of tending to my nail myself?!

Hmph! And with your track record, I'd almost believe this to be some sort of trick! Two insults in one! First you imply I'd let my nail fall into disarray, then you give me what must be an item of deception! I'll not fall for this nonsense!

Vital tenets of media depicting space travel

it's big. everything is SO far apart. a lot of beloved space media doesn't give you any sense of vastness and desperate farness. desolation. i still love them, but its very important to me. if youre making a space journey, the distance should be mind-bogglingly farther than you can imagine, and uncomfortably long in waiting times. this can expand to other, less literal parts of your story. scales human minds can't easily comprehend.

things that are almost like home... almost. historically, i think of planets that looked suspiciously like SoCal and aliens that looked suspiciously like humans due to limitations in effects in film and TV, but today we see this more in ideas like parallel universes and convergent evolution. when you travel, you often come across something that reminds you of home, but with something a little off. these coniferous forests look like back in the rockies, except there are trees I've never seen before where the spruce and tamaracks should be. this culture has a "let's eat dinner together" tradition just like mine, but everyone is sitting on the floor. it's almost familiar enough to feel like you know what you're doing.

relating space travel to a historical parallel. i think if you were creative enough you could subvert this, and "reflect the past in the future" is a core idea of sci-fi in general, but like... Firefly works really well because it uses the moral values and story themes of Westerns, yeah? and you don't have to go all in like they did, but think to yourself "what were humans like in times of far travel and expansion? can i draw inspiration from Polynesian sailing culture? or Chinese train lines? would humans react to the back-and-forth shipments of resource ships more like they did to British commerce sailing or to USAmerican trucking?

number 3 above should help define your aesthetic. i am a strong believer that sci-fi aesthetics should have some thought behind them. dont just make things blue-and-white LEDs and sleek plastic Apple™core futurist because you can (or just because it's a nice shorthand for the imperial bourgeois, though that can absolutely be an influencing factor. because i agree). would touchscreens be practical or not on this ship? would things be dirty due to a rushed, uncaring labor culture, or clean due to strong health infrastructure, or somewhere in between because it's just home? is the equipment uniform because it's part of a single government program, or all over the place because everyone does it, or a mash-up of the two because there are strict tech requirements to make it work and it would fuck everything up if you deviated a little but you decorated on top of the necessities?

BE FUCKING WEIRD. space is weird. look if you want to get some kind of social commentary across or be lauded as Perfect you should probably follow everything i said above and also carefully think up a scientific system where everything you mention is consistent and you very carefully don't mention anything that wouldn't be consistent. if that's where you want to go, godspeed. i liked Ender's Game as much as the next youngest child with an abusive brother. BUT don't be afraid to be camp. break rules (my rules, others' standards of the genre, the laws of physics, your own previously-established rules) when it's fun. make things stupid and pretty for no reason. assign numbers to things that could never ever make sense. even the most serious of space travel stories do well with a scene or two where Someone Gets Space Madness or A Wormhole Appears And Everybody Gets Genderbent or We Need To Have An Alien Fashion Show To Afford Repairs or what have you

refuse to make up your mind on whether space is magic and gods are real or not

[awsugar]

🐾🧸I have something to admit. When the boys broke I never listened to their solo work because I was so upset and hurt. But reading your post about Millions and Where Do We Belong? Anywhere But Here... I had to go and listen and just.. Ow. Just ow. Frank is/was so so hurt. So now my questions are

1. What other songs have they written that talk about this hurt?

2. Because Frank wears his heart on his sleeve, do we know if Jamia knew about it?/Was ok with what Frank and Gee had? Cause like.. Frank was very clearly hurt. More so then just friends going their separate ways.

3. What other things have you heard down the grapevine?

4. The 1st reunion show, there was very clearly some animosity/ stiffness/coldness on stage, why do you think it was like this? Like I feel like if they wanted to reunite they would've hashed that all out before hand right? But then covid happened and we wait 2 years and then we finally get to see them again, and they've changed. They're happy again.

sorry this took me so long to respond to !!!! ive been either working or depressed and tired mostly. im glad it was so apparent to you from listening....cause it really is like a slap in the face tbh.

frank has a TON of songs about that relationship, or that at least mention it? i think sometimes his songs reference multiple things but like there are soooo many songs that are at least partially about gerard. weighted (more about the end of the band, at least in part, like i said), stitches, guilttripping, all i want is nothing, diluted, why is love so disastrous?, choke on one another, where are my fucking pills?, underneath it all, possibly i dont know much but i know i loathe you, world destroyer, they wanted darkness, ill let you down, oceans, the resurrectionist, viva indifference, young and doomed (lol), fever dream, the host, basement eyes,ode to destruction, medicine square garden, record ender.....im serious i know i probably sound insane but there is at least one line in all of these songs that i believe are about that. gerard has way less solo stuff first of all, but also just doesnt write about it as much i thnk because its not the heartbreak perspective, from his perspecting at least in millions like hes not nearly as torn up about it so like hes just not giving it quite thhe same brain power, plus his lyrics are more like metaphor and storytelling than strictly personal like franks so it makes sense. but the bridge of no shows is VERY about the band to me.

i tend to try to avoid talking about family members of the band who are not public figures, because i think thats the most respectful option. and that stuff isnt my business. but frank has talked about being in an open relationship at the beginning of the band before, and also theres the swinger allegations. ill just say that i dont think he was ever cheating, physically or emotionally, and that everything was known and communicated.

i think that things were a little stiff at the shrine due to nerves mostly tbh. they hadnt done it in so long and they didnt know what the reception would be. i really think it was all nerves. because i think they absolutely had to put in work to repair that relationship before making the decision to play a show and go on tour. so i do chalk it up to more just being out of practice and being nervous rather than them not being close/friendly at that time. i think theres also a level of like anxiety around being to affectionate/friendly in fron of fans these days and they were still trying to figure out then how they would approach that. because i do think that thats a thing, but sometimes they also slip through that and now they DO show each other affection on stage sometimes so. you know. its a process i guess.

Writing Year in Review

This year, I wrote a lot (1). Thus, inspired by all the "year in art"s I see around this time of year, and in an effort to get better at being proud of myself, I'm picking one favorite piece (2) from each month (3).

January: then i don't want to be me anymore Fandom: DSMP

My first time trying to write for that fandom, and I don't think I've nailed the voices as well since. Also, I want to circle back to this Ender's Game AU someday because I think the comparison holds water.

April (whoops. big gap): Say it's me that you want to dismember Fandom: DSMP

The only thing I posted in April, but I like it anyway just for the series of words "the ex-president-current-zombie". That was a good one.

May: Lord, send me a mechanic if I'm not beyond repair Fandom: Traffic Series

This is just very soft and I like the execution on it.

June: I'm something else when I see you Fandom: Traffic Series

I said I was going to finish this, and then I did, which already bumps it up a few points. Also I love this idea of a... happy-ish ending? Relatively happy ending? Better ending.

July: Nash Equilibrium Fandom: Traffic Series

Playwriting is fun and I want to play more with plays as a format for fic. Given this was my first experiment into that, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

August: Snow in a Desert Fandom: DSMP

Of course, this got jossed immediately, but I liked the dialogue in it. And the idea of Q deciding to snatch Wilbur's victory away from him just to make a point.

September: the creaking automata lurch into action Fandom: Hermitcraft

What can I say? I'm a sucker for robots.

October: So take the wheel and I will take the pedals Fandom: Traffic Series

I think this one takes the prize more so because I really like the rest of the AU milieu it exists in, but the dialogue is fun. "'Now, remind me: what exactly are we pulled over on the side of the road in Nevada for?' / 'To witness the awe-inspiring power of the universe.' / 'The Grand Canyon is in Arizona, my friend.'" will live in my head rent-free forever.

November: Days since last incident: 0 Fandom: Destiny

This was just short, sweet, and fun to write. Love to do dialogue.

December: 6: Hold your ground against authority Fandom: DSMP

I was going to rag on myself for the quality and quantity of December writing and then remembered it was A) Finals season and B) I got out two Oberth Maneuver chapters so actually, I did great. And regardless, this was fun and short n sweet, which I do like writing. Don't get me wrong, love my longfic, but I also love to enter a fugue state at my computer and bang out one little concept in one sitting.

I- wha- who- are you stalking my minecraft playthroughs???

All of these except my pickaxe being on 4 applies to me. I keep my pickaxes on 2 and 3, one being silk touch and the other being fortune.

So uh... hecc it, I'm feeling sharey today. Let's break down J's minecraft experience, shall we?

I fuck up phantoms with my elytra. Any time I see one of those feckers and I'm airborn, they're not going to get the chance to burn in the daylight. I actually had an in air repair job once because I couldn't get to my exp farm fast enough, so I axed a couple phantoms on my way over and their exp was enough to keep it from breaking.

I used andesite instead of stone for one of my builds, and let me tell you: It's actually harder to find large quantities of andesite than you'd think! Most people have a huge backlog because they don't use it, so if I'm on an SMP i'll usually just ask for some from other players, but the build was in a solo world, so I eventually found it was quicker to craft it than go mining for it.

A tidy, functioning Redstone circuit is prettier than any build. Change my mind. I love building redstone. It's my favorite aspect of minecraft besides potion brewing, and the two of them usually go hand in hand.

Hot take: Mending is better than infinity on a bow. Infinity just rewards you for quantity over quality. You'll eventually have that bow break too, so that's exp you could have spent on getting better enchantments for everything else. I've also found that my aim never improves if I don't have the fear of running out of arrows looming over me with every arrow I shoot. It's especially true since I love brewing potions and making tipped arrows to anihalate some mobs, and tipped arrows ain't cheap.

It wasn't a year straight, but over the course of 2020 to 2021, I had a hardcore world I managed to keep going for a while. I ended up dying still working on the main build of that world: a base built on top of a 5 slime chunk. I challenged myself to make the base entirely out of green blocks to be on theme. I had an automatic green sheep farm, a slime farm, of course, a massive cactus and bamboo farm for automated green dye, and a massive villager trading station for emerald blocks. I set up the base to allow for pillaged raids, too, with the villager hall being fortified to prevent them from getting killed. I died on my third raid when I got trapped in a small hole and had all three of my totems axed after the whole filled up with axemen, and I panicked. :(

If you don't have spaces in your inventory, how are you going to pick up cool things you find? Only the essentials until I get shulker boxes, then I just keep my inventory in an ender chest full of shulker boxes and leave everything else empty. So long as I have my tools, food, potions, and an ender chest, I've got everything I need.

So anyways, are you a psychic or something, or do you also suffer from my mental illnesses?

Series: a part 2 of my previous fic per request <3

Summary: After weeks of working Y/N to the bones the Butcher Army has a different need of him. After managing to get the best gear possible from Y/N and having trained enough, it was finally time to get revenge! It was time to “peacefully” get Technoblade so he can stand trial, of course taking Y/N with them, after all he worked so hard on their gear and was now a part of their little army.

Words count: 3893

Authors Note: Thank you for the nice words! 💙 :D I’m sorry I broke this request up in two parts! I will concentrate on finishing up another or two requests and while I do that, I will also try finishing up part 3 since I am already in the middle of writing it! So don’t worry it is coming!

Y/N pressed his back against the cold stone wall. Enjoying the coolness on his body. Pressing his burned palms against the cold floor beneath him. The coldness was like a soothing balm that engulfed him after working for hours at the forge.

It was probably a bad idea pushing the wounds down onto the dirty floor, but he didn’t care. The temporary relief of pain just felt too good that he couldn’t stop himself.

A small break from the constant stress on his body.

Basking in the break from the constant supervision of the Butcher Army, even if that break came at the cost of him being locked inside a cell.

He had no idea how long he has been here in L’Manberg. An interesting city built inside a crater. They led him to this place, riding on their horses while pulling him along with a rope. It was a grueling two-day trip and as soon as the group arrived, they almost immediately put him to work.

First it just started out with him looking over their current armor and repairing what he could, then they began forcing him to create multiple sets of iron armor, claiming they would give him the resources and he should just work.

So, he did. He created armor sets, weapons and tools. Making new ones when they lost the gear, or it got destroyed. They put his work to the test. Fighting against each other to train. Using it against a horde of mobs, so there was never really a shortage of work.

The real trouble came when they suddenly presented him with diamonds. Ordering him to make them diamond armor but he didn’t know how. His expertise laid with iron work nothing else, but the group wouldn’t hear a no from him. Forcing him to figure out how to best create this diamond armor by showing him their old ones.

Luckily his knowledge seemed to somewhat extend to the new material as well. It took a while, but he soon found out different ways to create a similar product to that of his iron gear.

Diamond armor light but strong, the tools incredibly sturdy and in some cases sharp.

This seemed to be what the group was looking for. Yelling things like “This could rival netherite!” as they tried it out for the first time.

One day they brought him a new material. It was netherite. It was good thing that netherite behaved more like iron and was used as a coating for diamond gear, so Y/N could make this upgraded gear for them fast and easily.

The netherite complimented his work quite well. It received greater durability but also made it possible to sharpen the weapons even more so. Something about this material seemed to behave otherworldly to him which got confirmed to him once he found out that it came from the nether.

Naively Y/N had hoped that this was enough and that they would finally let him go and return to his village. His one true home. Though of course they didn’t let him go, saying that they still haven’t reached their goal and needed his help.

Still working him to the bone. His hands getting more and more hurt over time as he worked with the materials. The metal that coated them cracking more and more.

The villagers back home were left with the only few defenses he put up, which should be fine but also, he wanted to be there and make sure they were alright.

As he sat alone in the dark room, he let himself silently cry. He missed them so much. They would make sure he was alright, giving him an abundance of food and materials and whenever he refused to take more, they would look so insulted. If anything, the villagers were good-natured beings that believed in true reciprocity.

This seemed to be a foreign concept for the L’Manberg people or at least the Butcher Army. Increasing his fear and wariness for other humans even more. He never actually had any contact with other people outside of them, but he did learn a few things about the little group and what their opinion was of others.

For starters there were two people they saw as their ultimate enemies.

One called Dream and another called Technoblade.

From the things he heard and even the few question he managed to ask despite of his fear and anxiety, he gained the idea that these two must have been horrible tyrants. He almost got the idea that they were just beasts out here hunting their prey and trying to subject the other people under their own rule or ideologies.

And Y/N was scared of them. He didn’t want to meet them and make sure to stay far away but this was also how he felt towards the Butcher Army, conflicting thoughts and emotions brewing inside of him. The Butcher Army acted like they were the good guys, doing bad things for a good goal and Y/N wanted to believe in that. Wanted to believe that him suffering will bring something good as well but there were doubts.

Y/N laid his hurting hands on his biceps, squeezing them in pain as he tried to stifle his sobs. No matter what, he will make sure to not cry in front of them. It was stupid and unnecessary, but he didn’t want to give them the satisfaction. Though then again, the only person who seemed to enjoy the feeling of power was Quackity. Fundy was a close second, but he looked mostly just forward to the new goods and the power he seemed to gain through them.

Tubbo and Ranboo were more passive. Especially Ranboo.

Quackity seemed to string Tubbo along most of the time, speaking to his pride as president of the nation and basically just whispering him what he should do, and the young president listened.

Ranboo tried to sometimes help Y/N. Giving him things like bandages for his wounds or giving him extra food and water, even trying to do small talk with him to lighten the mood. If the situation were different Y/N would have laughed at his awkward attempts for conversation.

While he appreciated it, it just hammered back in the feeling of homesickness.

He bit his lower lip as his thoughts began running a mile an hour again. Ranging from despair to him cursing out his captors. He was too kind to actually think things like “I hate them. I hate them so much.” Trying to believe there was a good reason for this, but he was getting tired. His work is getting more and more sloppy, and it was only a matter of time until Quackity and the others noticed.

There was no telling with how long he could take this anymore.

Y/N got back up only to fall into bed. There was nothing better to do here than sleep through the days and wait for the others to get him out.

As it turned out the others needed him early in the morning but this time it was different.

Quackity opened up the iron door to his cell with a sterner expression than usual. It surprised Y/N when he saw that Quackity had put the white apron on top of his new netherite armor. This was not a good sign. The last time he saw that armor on him was when Quackity escorted him to L’Manberg.

“Get up. We have something to do.” His voice was cold and strained. A hint of anxiety mixed in, or maybe it was anticipation after all.

Not even daring to hesitate, Y/N jumped off his bed. Wordlessly following his captor, soon noticing that this would not be a usual day for him.

Instead of turning to the smithy they set up for him, Quackity led him to the town middle where he saw the rest of the Butcher Army waiting. Decked out in Y/N’s best armor and horses in tow. Expressions pulled down into deep frowns.

But what confused him the most was that he counted five horses when there were only four members of the army. A bad feeling begun building up at the bottom of his stomach. Like a rock sinking down into the depths of water.

“What is going on?” Y/N managed to rasp out as the two reached the others.

Quackity collected the reigns of all the horses and pushed it into Y/N’s rough hands “It is time we finally get some retribution. We are going after Technoblade and we need your help for that. Your own armor is over there. Get ready while we have a little talk with Philza.”

He didn’t wait for an answer and instead moved towards Philza’s home, only to turn around one more time before they rung the bell in front of the house “And I swear by Ender if you run away, we will find you. We know the only probable place you would seek refuge in and even if you don’t, we will wreck that place.”

Then they sounded the bell. A familiar ringing that made Y/N’s heart ache even more.

There was no real choice, he just looked around and found his old iron armor laying on the ground. The scratches and damages from back when the Butcher Army found him still there. He never got the chance to repair it.

Y/N never really talked with Philza. He only saw him here and there. Usually whenever Philza passed him he would just stare. Just stare him down. Something going through his mind, but Y/N couldn’t possibly tell what. His expression always grim only to jump back into a relaxed smile. Y/N always thought his smile felt a bit off. Wrong even. Not the truth or hiding something.

When the door swung open again it gave away to a smug looking Quackity who happily swung around a compass by its chain around his finger. A proud looking Tubbo behind him, followed by Fundy who looked almost like he was sulking and Ranboo who had a complicated expression on his face. He didn’t feel comfortable.

“We’ve got what we need. Now, to Technoblade. Everyone on their horses! This includes you, Y/N.” Quackity exclaimed.

The bad feeling increased, creating a lump in his throat. Shakily he opened up his hand and let everyone get on their horses, leaving him with a beautiful black one.

Nervous he put his foot in the pedal of the saddle and heaved himself up on it.

He wanted to scream. Run away. What would they need him for? His armor was way inferior to that of the others, ignoring the fact that he couldn’t fight at all.

No, they didn’t need him to fight but be a shield for them. A moving shield. After all he was an Iron Golem Hybrid. Big areas of his skin covered in thin metal plates, not all connected so he could still move but it gave him more protection. That plus his height was what they counted on, wasn’t it? That he would still be imposing enough to draw attention.

This was the conclusion he came to due to Quackity. He heard him talking. All Y/N was to him was a tool, a resource to be used and the worst part was that Y/N just couldn’t defend himself against this. Too scared anything might happen to his home because Quackity was right, they knew exactly where his home was and how important this place was to him.

Y/N didn’t realize how suddenly Quackity slowed down his horse as they arrived in the snow biome only pulling him out of his anxiety filled thoughts as he began speaking to him directly.

“Here is the plan. We want to get Technoblade and-” He stopped himself as he searched for the right words “And hold him accountable. Yes, we will put him on trial. If we are lucky, he will just follow us, but we doubt it. If he refuses, he will likely fight us. We just need you to draw your attention on yourself but don’t worry, we will jump right in to take care of him.”

“I- I don’t, Quackity, I don’t- I can’t fight!” Y/N croaked out. It felt like ages since he last spoke.

But Quackity just smiled “Don’t worry.”

That was all he said before hurrying along to be back at the front of the pack. Holding the glowing compass close to himself.

Y/N knew. He knew this was the case and yet it felt like someone stuffed snow down his shirt. A cold shiver running down his spine. Panic rising even more. It was a good thing he was sitting on top of a horse, otherwise he wasn’t sure if his shaking legs could carry him for the rest of the way. Each step closer to what felt like his doom.

His doom? Would Technoblade kill him? The way the small Army described him, he wouldn’t hesitate to cut him down.

Was it bad he didn’t fear dying but just the potential pain?

Realizing where his thoughts were running off to, he shook himself. No, his home, his real home, needed him. He couldn’t die yet. He needed to find a way to survive.

Suddenly Fundy stopped his horse and moved his fist up in the air, signaling for the others to stop as well. While the others wondered why he did this, Fundy pointed ahead through the trees towards a figure? A person? Out here in the snowy tundra?

Without saying anything Quackity jumped off his horse, the others following suit and begun tying the animals to the trees. Once Y/N understood what was happening he did the same. His eyes darting back towards the figure that seemed to interact and cuddle with a blue sheep while he made sure his horse was secured to one of the trees.

“What’s Ghostbur doing here?” Ranboo whispered more to himself but Y/N caught it.

He heard of Ghostbur but actually never met him. Apparently, the ghost of the man that blew the nation up but that was really all he knew.

They approached the ghost on foot, calling out to him in the process to gain his attention. The ghost immediately waved towards them with an earnest and big smile on his face. Y/N was fretting for his life at the moment but something about Ghostbur almost calmed him down.

Maybe it was just the fact of meeting a new friendly face after being surrounded by the Butcher Army for so long.

Ghostbur approached them, the sheep following him via a leash “Hello Quackity! Hello Fundy! Hello Tubbo! Hello Ranboo! Oh! I don’t know your name! I’m sorry! Hello though! I’m Ghostbur!”

Y/N was a bit taken aback. He was so friendly.

“Y/N. My name is Y/N.” he surprised himself a little bit with how he just blurted it out.

Ghostbur cocked his head to the side as he listened “Nice to meet you Y/N! You don’t look too good! Are you doing alright? Oh no, was this rude? Do you want some blue? Maybe that will help!”

Before Y/N could even properly process what he could possibly mean with blue Quackity jumped in “Hey, Ghostbur. You know if Technoblade is close? Is he somewhere around here?”

Somehow Ghostbur managed to lighten up even more, which should be impossible but Ghostbur’s eyes widened into a fond recognition and he turned around “Yes! Yes! I got lost but I found Techno! He told me to go though! He is over there! Come with me, I’ll show you!”

The Ghost then begun floating off, leading the group between trees and soon arriving on a small hill that gave them a good view of a cottage house.

Seeing the homey build, it was difficult for Y/N to imagine that a monster lived there. If anything, it reminded him of his own home. Maybe he won’t fight? Maybe this will end peacefully? But somehow Y/N doubted it by the serious but eager expressions on half of the Butcher Army’s faces as their eyes fell on Techno’s home.

“Let’s go.” Quackity trotted down the hill “We all know what to do.”

Y/N’s heartbeat took on speed again. Everyone got their weapons out and even though Y/N was technically really strong due to his constant smithing work, the iron sword in his hand felt heavy. Like it could slip out of his hand any second.

Worried his eyes darted across the few windows of the house. Trying to get a glimpse of Technoblade but all he saw was a shadow moving away from one of the windows.

Did he see them approaching?

“Techno get out!” Quackity suddenly yelled, pulling Y/N back out of his anxiety filled thoughts once again.

It took a second but suddenly the wooden door opened up slowly and Technoblade got out. He wore netherite armor, a red gown with white fluff on his shoulders on top of the armor, a crown on top of his head, his pink hair pulled back.

With his scowling expression and stature, he looked scary.

Technoblade took a step outside on his porch, Y/N suddenly became very aware of how sharp his tusks looked.

“What do you want?”

With a deep breath Quackity took a closer step towards the Pig Hybrid “We are here to get you! We, the Butcher Army, are here to put you on trial!”

“Yes! It is time you take responsibility for the destruction of L’Manberg!” Fundy added on. Tubbo just nodded to show his support to this statement.

“And why should I follow you? I’ve retired, I don’t want to be a part of any of this anymore. I’m done.” Techno spoke.

Quackity turned around to look at Y/N for a second only to continue speaking with Techno “Well, either you follow us peacefully or we will force you. You can’t run away from what you have done! Come with us and stand trial!”

But he didn’t answer immediately, Techno moved down the porch. Almost circling the group, his eyes jumping around between them.

“Listen, guys. The voices in my head. They begged me for more blood. They demanded more but I refused. I purposefully got out here to deny them, just leave me be.”

“Techno, you spawned Withers in L’Manberg! People got hurt! They destroyed a huge part of our nation! You have to stand trial!” Tubbo readjusted his grip on his axe. He looked angry and almost bewildered.

Technoblade slowly shook his head “No, you don’t understand. I’m trying to keep away from all this for a reason! You are just pulling me back to things and-“

“No! You either come with us or we will make you! Five to one Techno, you think you can do that?” Quackity interrupted him, pointing his weapon at Techno.

Y/N was overwhelmed with the situation. The man in front of him, Technoblade, wasn’t how he imagined him. He tried to reason but the others wouldn’t want to hear it which Y/N could understand as well but this man didn’t look like the blood thirsty monster the others described him as.

The Pig Hybrid sighed, his eyes now instead of jumping around finally decided to rest on Y/N, who in return suddenly felt small under his gaze. Did Techno realize that Y/N was the attack bait? Is he falling for it? Or did he notice his trembling arms and legs. The fear and worry in his eyes. The burn wounds covering his hands and arms. The clearly damaged iron armor.

Was he seeing Y/N as prey or as the scared man that feared for his life he really was?

“What will it be, Techno?” Fundy snarled, showing of his sharp teeth.

His hands moved towards his side “If it has to be like that, then I choose blood!”

Then everything went really fast. His hands pulled out a few flask from his belt, hidden by his gown that he threw on the ground to buff himself.

The Butcher Army immediately grew panicked and barked orders, a clear and loud order from Quackity flew through the chaos and reached Y/N “Attack him, Y/N!”

And he didn’t know why but he moved in. He was scared, his heart felt close to exploding in his chest, but he was somehow more scared of Quackity and what could happen shouldn’t he listen. Scared that he would force him to work even more, refusing him sleep and food again. Not letting him treat his wounds properly that he got from the work.

So, he moved in. With shaking legs and what felt like without strength in his arms. The world turned blurry. Was he crying or just his nerves? He couldn’t tell.

All he remembered was Techno coming close to him, looking like a demon. His eyes wide and filled with what Y/N assumed to be bloodlust.

Y/N moved his arm up, just trying to hit Techno with his own sword, but Techno was faster. He slammed the blunt end of his netherite sword into Y/N’s neck. Shocked by the sudden attack, he fell to the ground. The world growing dark for a few seconds as he coughed and tried to breathe again.

As he sat in the cold snow, trying to calm down he heard the Army yelling. Metal clanging on metal.

Then it suddenly stopped.

A neighing. A horse? What?

Luckily Y/N seemed to have regained somewhat control over his own body and could assess the situation in front of him.

The Butcher Army seemed to be alright. Y/N’s armor really held through, no obvious damage on it. They were out of breath and sweating but alright.

A bit ashamed Y/N couldn’t help but be proud of his work that it withstood a buffed-up Techno with a netherite sword.

But what really caught his attention was Quackity who held the reigns of a horse with diamond armor. His axe held up close to the animal’s throat.

Technoblade moved the tip of his blade towards him “Get away from that horse, Quackity!”

“Follow us peacefully and nothing will happen to the horse, Techno. Your choice.”

There was a slight hesitation as Techno undoubtedly tried to gauge if he could somehow deal with Quackity differently but ultimately, he suddenly dropped his weapon as well his armor.

Perplexed Y/N got back up, still rubbing his neck.

Techno spared him. He obviously just tried to either knock him out or make him unable to fight, which he succeeded in. Wouldn’t it have been for Y/N’s reinforced skin due to his Iron Golem side he would have been knocked out for sure.

Fundy did not hesitate to jump in and wrap chains around Techno’s wrists “Y/N! You are the strongest one of us. You hold on to him, we will be close by to ensure he won’t run off.”

Avoiding looking at the others directly after having been taken out of the fight so easily, he made his way towards Fundy and grabbed the chains. Wrapping it a few times around his own arm as well. Feeling sick to his stomach as he realized that he was doing the same thing to Techno like back when the group escorted him out of his own village.

He couldn’t help himself but whisper towards Techno a quick “I’m sorry.”

“I know.”

hey lol •tumbles in your request•

can i get some headcannons for whatever characters you want reacting to a friend sewing them little plushies/trinkets in their free time?

thank you :)

sewing my way into your heart

pairing - PLATONIC c!tommy x gn!reader

notes - i enjoyed this so much <3

——————————————————————————

tommy had kept the first stuffed animal you made him.

he’d been littler when you gave it to him. being in the drug van with wilbur meant lots of time spent in the corner when it was “adult time.” psh. wil acted if he couldn’t understand exactly what was being spoken next to him. either way, something good came out of it. you.

lord of frequent visits to discuss with wilbur led to you taking an interest in the younger blonde, and eventually you’d given him a stuffed animal. just a simple one, a little spider. one of the legs was too short and his button eyes were crooked but tommy had adored it (though he denied it to wilbur’s face.)

it was cared for through wars, presidency, and even exile. exile meant long days without tommy’s spider friend. it went in the ender chest whenever dream could show up out of fear that something would happen to it. at nights though, tommy would sleep with it wrapped in his arms, hands clutching onto it like it was the last thing he had. in a way, it was.

and now you were reunited with him. over time, rebuilding tommy’s trust, you’d finally convinced him to let you repair the few rips and tears in the body of the spider. tommy supervised, watching with a furrowed brow. it wasn’t that he didn’t trust you, but that he couldn’t explain the value in that little arachnid. the idea of anything happening to it was enough to distrust everyone, even it’s maker.

“almost done,” you glanced up at tommy. he gave you a curt nod with fixated eyes on your work, and you sighed.

“are you sure you don’t want me to make you a newer looking one?”

with this tommy’s face was indignant, immediate anger poisoning his features as his eyes flashed to yours.

“fuck no.”

you finished the last body stitch, tightened the buttons on his eyes, and carefully handed him back to tommy. the boy inspected it for a few minutes and you waited.

finally he looked up. his eyes were softer now, more vulnerable.

“thank you.”

He talks about how the 2,615 Wither skeletons killed feels low, but does the math and thinks it’s fine. He moves on, and continues brewing Invis potions. He makes black and red fireworks for several minutes. 

00845 Dream scares Phil by logging in right behind Techno, and they join a voice channel together. Dream gives Techno several stacks of TNT, and Dream finally tells Techno his ‘special plan.’ 

Dream says that they have to go early, and destroy it 30 minutes early. Dream tells them of a spy, and how L’Manburg is going to show up exactly at 3:00, instead of getting there early. 

Techno asks Dream what he needs from him, and Dream essentially says that Phil shouldn’t listen to the conversation, and tries to make Techno leave Phils call. Techno declines, and they continue their conversation in the house. 

01100 Dream explains that he can’t set up redstone, because it’s too easy to destroy, and that he’s going to have to set up the machines while the battle is happening. He tells Techno to stall the battle for twenty minutes, and Techno argues, saying that the risk is too one-sided for him and that it would be too easy for Dream to betray him by not setting up the machines. 

Techno agrees after Dream brings up the dog army and the withers, and Techno says that he was only complaining to see how unreasonable Dream actually was. 

Techno asks Phil for more potions, including speed, strength, and regeneration, and he keeps talking about the Turtle Master potions, and quickly runs to the Vault to get the skulls. 

Dream mentions Ender Pearls, and Techno agrees that they would be useful. On the way to trade with Orphan, Techno goes down to Tommy’s former room, calls it the Traitor Pit, and breaks the prime log. He starts to leave, but changes his mind, and blows up the Traitor Pit. 

He leaves the past behind him, and goes back up to trade with Orphan. He gets more pearls, and then continues brewing potions. Phil gives Techno his trident again, and wonders aloud if he should bring Phil. 

On one hand, Phil only has one life, but Phil also has a grudge against L’Manburg, and Phil insists he come along. 

Techno gives Phil the only remaining Totem of Undying, and several Wither skulls. Techno tells Phil to not be in the main battle at first, and to hide, be careful, and to only spawn Withers when Techno sends the signal, shooting the fireworks into the sky. 

They go over their inventories and Ender chests, Techno gets more weakness arrows, and Dream and Techno use the sellout bell one last time. 

While outside, Techno mentions that Phil tore down Tommy’s cobblestone tower, and Dream almost blows up Tommys’ former house, but Techno stops him, saying that it might be Ghostburs. 

Dream also gives Techno and Phil obsidian for building, and Techno gives Dream his TNT back, saying it wouldn’t be useful. He also gives Phil a God Apple, and tells him to (02245) not risk his life for him. Dream counters that, mentioning that Phil could risk his life for him, and Techno refuses to let Dream continue. 

Techno also brews a Slow Falling potion, one of the rarest potions on the server. Dream talks about his status as a homeless person, and Dream does not accept it, and tells Techno that his main goal is to make everyone homeless, because blowing up L’Manburg would make everyone there live without a house. Techno calls himself ‘Anti-House.’

After crafting an unenchanted Netherite axe, they leave. Dream follows him to the Dog Sanctuary. 

02939, right before leaving the Nether, Techno chants: 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate?? Not the government! GOO!!!! And splashes Invis potions on himself, Dream, and Phil. 

They enter the Overworld to find Sapnap close to the portal. Techno tells him that He’s actually TommyInnit, and runs to the portal before Sapnap can process that. Dream and Phil follow, and they make it to the Dog Sanctuary. 

03200 Dream is surprised at the amount of dogs in the cave, and Techno starts talking about the plan. He says that because L’Manburg has a law against killing pets, they won’t be able to do anything to stop the army from killing them. Dream calls him evil after he reveals that he’s going to splash the dogs with both strength and invis, and they move out with a pack of dogs following. 

Dream shows them an obsidian network above L’Manburg, and says that he’s going to make TNT Dispensers on it. Dream leaves, and they get into position. 

03700. Techno joins the L’Manburg VC, and starts yelling at them, calling them idiots and asking where they are. They tell him that theres still 24 minutes until the war starts, and Techno starts encouraging them to come back, but then remembers that he’d have to hold them off while Dream sets up, so he tells them to take their time and wait until the scheduled time. 

Tommy sees the obsidian network, and shoots Phil. Techno and Tommy start arguing. Techno calls himself a liar, but justifies it by mentioning the 1v30 he’d have to do. 

Tommy takes his first death, falling from a pillar trying to reach Dream. 

Tubbo shoots Techno, and the dogs start chasing him. Techno splashes the potions on them, and watches as the war starts. He calls the wolves ‘The Dogs of War,’ and quickly kills both Quackity, Ponk, and Tubbo. 

Tubbo drops a Trident, and Techno wonders if it’s his. He keeps fighting, and quickly remembers that Sapnap is known for his animal killing. 

He continues killing, but decides on a compromise. If they back off, he won’t kill them as he blows up the country. They disagree, and Techno eats a God apple before shooting the fireworks into the sky. 

04430 Philza deploys the Withers. The Citizens yell about the Bees, and Techno continues his destruction. He stores the new trident in his Ender Chest and organizes his inventory, adding some Wither skulls and soulsand for later. 

Five Withers storm L’Manburg as the country fights back, and Techno tries to find Invis potions. He raids houses and makes more Withers, and L’Manburg is left to fight nine Withers as Techno restarts his Laptop. 

Running back into the action, Techno realizes he’s been using normal arrows this entire time, and puts the fireworks in his offhand. He meets Phil in his house, and Phil gives Techno another Invis pot. He finds a book, called ‘Do Not Read,’ in his Inventory, and Ranboo asks for it back. Techno gives the book to Ranboo, and tells him to flee, that he doesn’t have anything against him, and to survive the war in safety. Ranboo runs. 

Sapnap yells that another Wither is down, and Techno jumps back into battle. He kills Tubbo again, and Dream messages ‘destroy l’mantree’ to him. Techno asks which tree that is, and starts moving to where he thinks it is.

In the background, Tommy starts to plan. He says that, (05040) ‘we’ve got to kill the Withers first, and then we can fight The Blade.’ 

Phil scoffs at that, and Techno keeps going. He finds an ender chest and repairs his armor with XP bottles. 

Techno continues killing, and Dream finally tells him where the tree is. Before he can make it there, Dream sets off the TNT canons, and destruction rains from the sky as L’Manburg cries out in confusion. 

05335 He finds Tubbo in the middle of the country, and yells, “LOOK AT YOUR COUNTRY FALL, TUBBO!” Tubbo falls along with it, and doesn’t respond as Techno shoots him, once again, with a firework rocket.  

05355 Tommy climbs onto a bridge and begs Techno to not shoot. 

“You didn’t have to do this! The thing about the discs, Technoblade, is that they were for me! We could’ve had a government, and- ”

“I don’t care about the discs, Tommy! I was upfront with you from the start, the government has to go!”

“Technoblade, you are selfish!”

“Selfish?! You’ve used me from the start, Tommy! You’re wearing my helmet as we speak!”

“Technoblade, you said we betrayed you! You said we were the ones that betrayed you!”

“You betrayed me like, twelve times!” 

“Technoblade, look at me. Look at me, right now. You said you hated governments, you said we were the ones that betrayed you. You were the one who killed Tubbo when JSchlatt told you to! You were the one who betrayed us, out of all-”

“I was peer pressur- You betrayed me, like, yesterday! You used me as a weapon! You’ve never thought of me as a friend, Tommy, you’ve just used me from the start. You saw me just as The Blade, that’s all I was to you, The Blade, a weapon, well guess what?” Techno pauses, and his voice is tense as he continues. “I’m choosing what I fight for now, and I’m going to destroy the government, Tommy! You all die!”

He fires the fireworks towards Tommy, killing him and Tubbo with the same shot. 

He watches as the TNT falls from the sky, and finally, Tommy asks to speak once more.

“You were our friend, and you know what?-”

“Tommy, you never thought of me as a friend, Tommy,”

“Listen to me!”

“I listened to you for weeks, what did you do? You went back to Tubbo, the guy that exiled you, that chose his country over you,”

“People are above the government!”

“I’M A PERSON!” 

“You ARE, Techno, and so are we! The reason the discs- they were stolen from me! Nothing-”

“Discs aren’t people!” 

“Nothing was taken from you! You’re selfish! You destroyed the people for your own self gain! You’re selfish!”

“All of these problems are because of your government,” Techno starts, “Your government has caused all these issues. I believe in freedom, Tommy!”

“You- You don’t believe in freedom! When you were peer pressured, that wasn’t freedom, that’s you following what the government told you!”

“Bro, Tommy, that was like four months ago, ok?”

“IT WAS! LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE PAST RIGHT NOW- Tubbo! Tubbo he killed you!”

“He’s the president, get him OUT of here!” Techno shoots at Tubbo, who hides behind some stone, “He’s wearing YOUR helmet!”

“And you killed him!”

“Yeah, because he’s the president! 

“But even when he wasn’t the president, you killed him as well.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“You’re as bad as the government, Technoblade.”

“Hey, remember when I was sitting there, alone, against the whole government, and you and Wilbur just sat there on the sidelines, and watched? Did you step in? Did you step in? Were you guys the ones who stepped in and said, don’t worry, Technoblade, we know you’re in a high pressure situation, but we’ll fight the world for you, Technoblade? NO! You guys watched- You know what I did, yesterday? When you were surrounded by thirty people, the whole world was against you? I walked in. I was willing to fight all of them for you, Tommy. I would’ve been there. 

That is the difference between us.”

“We spent HOURS together-”

“DON’T speak to me of loyalty!”

“You were my friend, and you betrayed us!”

“You never thought of me as a friend!”

“The- The thing about this government, is that it didn’t interfere with you!”

“It did!”

“No, it didn’t! The discs were stolen by Dream-”

“I don’t care about discs! I care about freedom! The government! We can’t have freedom with the government!”

“You have your own freedom, just let people love what they love, man!” (lmao homophobic techno confirmed? /J :LKJFDSLKFJ)

“Tommy...I used to think like that, Tommy. You know what they did to me? They hunted me down! The whole Butcher Army, and they executed me! I tried being peaceful, Tommy, but the government made it clear that we could not coexist.”

“And so you spawn Withers??? All you do is repeat history, but worse.”

“YOU GUYS brought this upon YOURSELVES, I was willing to live in my cottage and be chill, and just farm turtles, but you guys made it clear-”

“Technoblade, you can’t just go back to your cottage after you blow up the government! That’s not how this works, actions have consequences!”

Techno shoots at Tommy and Tubbo, killing Tubbo. “Actions do have consequences, Tommy, and THESE are the consequences!” He splashes potions at his feet, and chases after Quackity. He kills him quickly, and Quackity yells about how he has to face the consequence of his former actions. Techno told him that he had changed, and the Butcher Army refused to let him live his life, but Quackity says that he had to face his punishment.

Tommy calls Techno a tyrant, and is almost immediately killed as Techno launches himself into the air and uses the slowfalling potions to aim, and fire. 

10130 Someone (I can’t tell who, help) asks why Phil is there, and why he hates the government, and he responds, “Since I was forced to kill my own son, you idiot!”

Tommy asks Techno where the L’mantree is, and Techno reveals that he doesn’t actually know what that is, but that Dream wanted to blow it up earlier. Several people start screaming, mourning the loss of their tree, as Techno celebrates. 

Techno runs out of fireworks, and decides that their destruction is over. He notices that no one is fighting back, and asks if everyones just given up.

“What is there left to protect?”

Techno laughs, and Niki speaks for the first time. “I burnt the tree.”

Techno compliments her, and looks over the destruction. 

10350 “WELCOME,” he says, “TO THE YOUNGEST ANARCHY SERVER IN MINECRAFT!”

Jack Manifold challenges him, and they fight. Techno runs out of potions, but still manages to win. Manifold takes too long to pick up his items, so Techno spawns another Wither. At this point, there’s four Withers roaming the former country. 

Techno decides to kill the Withers to get Nether Stars, and while looking for a place to shoot, he finds Eret watching the chaos. He asks if he supports government, but answers the question for them. “There’s no need to risk your neck for a country you’re not even a part of.”

Eret then says that they’re just there for the Nether Stars, and Techno laughs. Techno kills a Wither, and Phil takes the star. 

Techno starts talking about how he wanted L’Manburg to be a chunk error, and decides to get rid of the water so the TNT can work. He mentions that he has the Trident back, and that he’s probably not going to ever get the Axe of Peace from Tommy. 

Dream continues blowing the country up, and Techno gives Phil his trident back. Techno tells Dream to nuke the entire area, but finds out that Ghostbur is close, and frantically makes him stop. He then remembers that Ghostbur is a literal ghost and can not die. 

Hbomb tries to tell Techno to blow up Manifold Land, but Techno refuses, saying that it isn’t really a country, and is instead just one person. 

Ghostbur arrives, and starts looking around the crater. Techno leaves to find a bell to be a sellout. He tells us that if he gets 5 million subscribers today, he’ll set up the second monitor. 

They talk about timezones and relax after the chaos. Techno attempts a triple kill but fails, and Manifold declares war on him. Techno threatens his house, so Manifold decides to not do that. 

Sapnap punches him, and Techno starts to spawn a Wither, but Sapnaps’ efficiency V Netherite shovel is enough to make Techno run in fear.

12320 Tommy gets struck by lightning. SO LONG, THESEUS! EVEN GOD HATES HIM! -techno

Sap tries to kill Techno with a Channeling trident, but Techno takes no damage and almost spawns another Wither, but decides to fly away instead. Sapnap goes mad with power, and tries to kill Ponk with tridents and wither roses. Techno sings the Manhunt music as Ponk runs from Sapnap and BadBoyHalo.

After exploring the wreckage and joking with the survivors, Phil and Techno go to their own VC and go back home. Philza is jumped by a baby zombie, but Techno manages to kill it and save him. 

13515He ties the stream together by chanting ‘2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? Philza minecraft!! yeah!!!!’

They go inside to reorganize their chests, and Techno realizes that he still has two stacks of Wither skulls. Techno and Phil agree that the Withers they used were enough, and they talk about how the battle went. 

Phil gives Techno the Totem and the God Apple back. 

Techno also implies that if Phil dies, the destruction would be far, far worse, and his life is worth more than anything that had happened beforehand. They are best friends ur honor. 

While ranting about the government, Technoblade reveals that he still has the anvil used to execute him in his ender chest. Techno covers Tommys old home, and tears down the signs they used as a checklist. 

Looking at Em, Techno remembers the dogs he didn’t use to fight, and Phil brings up a Stasis Pearl Chamber as a way to teleport all the dogs back at the same time. They quickly build it, and Techno starts running to the remains of L’Manburg. 

He makes it to the dog cave without any trouble, and makes all the dogs stand. Philza teleports him back, and the dogs take some fall damage as they land with him. He puts the dogs into the house next to his, and Phil says that he’s going to build a kennel later. 

Phil reveals that Ghostbur was not happy with the whole ‘blowing up L’Manburg’ thing, and that Friend had died, and now, Ghostbur wants to be brought back to life. Phil is hesitant, and he doesn’t know if his memories will stay, if he could handle it, and other variables. 

20320 Techno finally shows Carl again, but doesn’t show where he’s hidden. He uses the intermission screen to hide his location from even the viewers, but Carl is fine. He puts him back in the display stable, but then moves him back, fearing his life. 

20630, Techno jokes about the Turtle Shell Helmets and it’s adorable. please go watch it. he then talks about the Sad-Ist animation for a few seconds, and talks about the fanartists in the community. He mentions making a playlist of animations and animatics, which would be really cool. 

He ends the stream ringing the sellout bell.
