Okay I’m vibing with this c!dnf mpreg and need to add my two cents it’s a little angsty but fits the tragedy that is c!dnf

Dream and George had always talked about eventually starting a family but it was pushed to the back as L’Manberg became an issue and eventually because of everything they just forgot about it.

By the time Dream is thrown in prison, they haven’t talked for a month or so, Dreams last visit had been a bit steamy but they thought nothing of it, and then George starts getting sick.

He knows instantly that he’s pregnant, and has to deal with the fact that he cannot tell Dream out of fear, not sure if it’s fear for himself, for the people working in the prison or if it’s just a stupid hormonal reaction. He wants to visit, to tell Dream, but he also wants to hide, knowing how the sever may want to use their child to bait or hurt Dream and himself, so he hides and sleeps.

Dream in prison has no idea what’s happening, obviously, but he gets weird coded messages from XD and feels deep in his bones that something is up.

In the 9 months that Dream is in prison, people see George less and less. He did hover around the prison, too scared to go in, but eventually he disappears, everyone knows he’s asleep somewhere in Kinoko so they leave him be.

When Dream finally escapes with Techno, he goes with him to heal for a while, maybe a month or so, before going and finding George.

George had moved from Kinoko silently before Dreams escape to an old house that he and Dream built back in the early days to just relax in, which eventually became a safe haven for either of them to go to if it got dangerous. He has the baby here and tries to look after them with depleting supplies that he can’t go and refill.

Dream looks for Kinoko, eventually learning from Sapnap that George wasn’t there but if he was, Dream still wouldn’t have a chance of getting through, so instead he goes to this house in the middle of nowhere, a dusty compass in the bottom of his ender chest leads the way.

George hears someone approaching the house one day, but calms down realising it can only be Dream, before freaking out because it’s Dream who didn’t know George was pregnant and he has no idea how he’ll react.

Dream walks through the door, tired after a month of searching for George and finds… the house empty. Disheartened, he sits on the edge of the bed and notices the trapdoor to the cellar haphazardly closed.

Climbing down into the dark, it’s silent, and Dream nearly leaves until a small whimper echoes from the corner.

He pulls out his axe first, and a torch second, dropping the axe when he realises its George holding a baby close to his chest.

The baby starts crying, startled by the noise, and George quickly shushes them, turning to Dream with a glint of fear in his eyes, Dream’s heart breaks. Knowing that the child is his, and that the love of his life fears what he will do to them.

i was so invested in this i forgot i wasn’t reading a fanfiction lord i’m coming up

[kebriones]

Classical athens minecraft server:

Pericles and Pheidias have built the spawn town, the nether railway and all the farms. Pericles has a tax system and he WILL collect the taxes or you'll lose everything. Obsessed with safety, you won't find a dark corner missed in the entire spawn town. They've made some fancy buildings out of blocks of netherite as a flex.

Plato only comes on the server to complain. He has a stone house and he secretly frees villagers from villager farms/trading halls.

Aspasia is the moderator and server owner. Everyone's afraid of her, but sometimes she gives nice gifts to people. She's usually flying around in creative mode.

Socrates is chronically broke. He keeps dying and losing everything. He's usually running around without armor on and hasn't really bothered to build a proper house. He just has some chests, a bed, half a wall, a ceiling and an eternally cold strider for some unknown reason. He hates mining and building but will spend hours fishing while talking with friends.

Alcibiades has a fancy complex base, and a fancier backup base in a secret location. He will summon the wither with zero regard for anyone around him whenever he feels like it. Sometimes he does it as a joke. He hoards diamonds and then impulse-spends them on stupid things like skeleton horses or blue axolotls. He has a bunch of dogs, a ton of horses and an army of axolotls. He is the designated ocean monument cleaner of the server. If you need an ocean monument prepped, he's your guy. He's always giving Socrates free netherite gear and food. He's the reason Socrates isn't starving to death most of the time. He's always begging for more texture packs and mods to be added to the server.

Nicias logs into the server rarely, but he's the one who ran a massive operation to breed a blue axolotl. He occasionally helps with moderation.

Hipponicus is the one who's in charge of the villager trading hall.

Xanthippe and Hipparete have cute houses by a river. Xanthippe has given Hipparete tridents to throw at Alcibiades whenever he bothers her. They have a flower and dye shop and have two hundred bees that hipparete has named with enormous care. She used to live with Alcibiades but he was always picking fights with her bees and not letting her build anything in their base.

Thucydides is the lore master of the server. He is very loyal to the lore and will get upset at whoever is ignoring his sacred server canon. He is always in need of book-and-quills and storage for them.

Aristophanes' base is a frog haven full of booby traps and practical jokes. He hates everyone and doesn't interact much with others on the server.

Euripides makes life size dioramas with trapped villagers and other mobs inside that tell tragic stories. He's the one most excited to play his lore part properly and he is always leading the storyline to drama.

Diotima has dug the largest strip mine underneath everything. It's tens of thousands of blocks in each direction. Nobody knows about it. She has a massive stock of diamonds and other ore. Her XP level is the highest in the server. She only hangs out with Socrates. Nobody knows what she does on the server, she never speaks to anyone else but she's almost always online. Digging. Nobody knows she had beaten multiple wardens using, you guessed it. Ladders. She also beat the ender dragon but never told anyone so now everyone thinks it was Alcibiades that did it.

[we-are-other]

We are many people, and many things.

A few of us are Ender. Travelers made to yearn, in many ways. Our purpose to learn; to watch. Even in this world far from our own, We take notes on the parts of our world we loved. We keep purpurite, the closest thing we'll ever get to having something from our home in the real world. We wear jewelry that reminds us of home, draw symbols reminiscent of our language. It's not unlike what those of us ripped from the End would do in our world, but now we do it here.

We kick our feet, feeling the way our legs are meant to be shaped. Feeling our tails swish behind us, our ears perk up when we hear something interesting. It's not as we wish it was, but it is as we are meant to be.

Our crow wears trinkets like treasures, creates beautiful "trash" that jingles when he walks. He flits his wings when startled, and no one sees it. They don't need to see it, because we do. He spends his free time learning to crochet. He values the tiny things that others don't, both trinkets and moments, and he feels the essence of what he is in the mundane things that most people miss. He connects to his divinity through this, too; what is the job of the god of their world if not to value what he created?

-

I am a Piglin. I should have a louder voice, a stronger body, longer hair that tells those around me I'm a skilled warrior. Instead, our body doesn't get very far if pushed. I learn to be gentle with it, I learn that our world isn't learn fast or die like my own. I learn, too, that our body can be pushed on good days and those are the days I thrive. I wear gold- not real gold, but it's enough to satisfy the instinct. We plan to pierce our ears. Most piercings we get after that, if any, will likely be for my sake. I listen to podcasts, to feel like I have the chittering I should in the back of my brain. It may not be a Piglin trait, but it is one of mine. I am a Piglin, and I am myself, and I am learning to love that.

-

We have many gods in our collective. I am one. We are divine, but so much more than that. I am a draconic creature of the depths our world's life rose from, a being as old as time. Today? Today, I write quietly on a computer and listen to the rain. I watch videos of marine biologists diving to feel close to my kind. I feel deeply; a trait of my kind. I do not make myself seem any less vast for other's comfort. I speak in a ways that gets me looked at oddly, and told that I speak like a writer. I don't mind much.

The duality of divinity is that we have another god who is quick like the wind. He flits around, yearns to do so in physical reality, and settles for a swing set. He takes comfort in the small things that connect him to his divinity; art of many eyes and wings, feathers and wind. He connects to his divinity primarily through things that aren't seen as "divine" in any way. Moments of trickster energy; jokes between friends and harmless pranks.

-

We are many people, and many things, but they all weave together nicely within the mundane after a while.

Jeg har tegnet mit drømmehus og undersøgt priser på mateialer. Nye og brugte. Shit hvor er velux vinduer fucking dyre. Der er 15 vinduer i mit hus. 4 forskellige slags. Og to vinduespaneler i taget. 6 døre inkl. 3 indendørs-døre, en hoveddør, en skydedør ud til haven og en altandør til lille altan ovenpå.

Mange af vinduerne kan man finde brugt. Og dørene også. Vil male dem så de er hvide indvendigt og lyseblå udvendigt. Ved ikke om det giver mening at bruge penge på. Men tanken gør mig glad.

Der er 5 rum i mit hus. Et badeværelse, et alrum i åben forbindelse med en gang der drejer i en runding og bliver bryggers, fra bryggerset er der adgang til værksted/atellier. Entreen er også i denne gang. Et badeværelse. Et værelse med trappe til overetagen som er soveværelse. Bum.

Jeg kan lide flowet. At man i løbet af en dag, ikke rigtigt kan undgå et rum. Og at der er masser af lys, samtidigt med at man ikke føler sig lukket inde i en glasboks. Alle vinduer er strategisk placeret.

Jeg synes det er svært at forlade et rum for at gå ind i et andet. “Dead ends”. Den følelse kan jeg ikke lide. Jeg kan lide følelsen af: herfra hvor jeg står, kan jeg tage mange valg. Gå i mange retninger. Bruge min tid på mange måder og nemt forandre mine omgivelser ved at læne mig ind i plantegningens flow. ADHD venligt. Huset som en guide. Og overetagen som en hellig åben zone. Sydvendt altan og terasse. Udsigt til himlen fra sengen.

Gad sygt godt bygge det. Der er ca 95 kvm bolig. Hvilket jeg faktisk synes er vildt meget. Men det kunne godt skaleres ned. Nu har jeg bare tænkt stort.

Det er ikke et familievenligt hus, men hvis det blev nødvendigt kunne overetagen deles i to med en skillevæg. Det gider jeg da bare overhovedet ikke at tage hensyn til lige nu tbh. At bo med en dum unødvendig væg der afbryder min luft uden grund. Nej tak.

Og så skal hund have en hundekurv ovenpå og en hundekurv nedenunder og en hundekurv i værkstedet.

Haven skulle være fuld af frugttræer. Et beskedent kirsebærtræ (hvis det findes! Synes altid kirsebærtræer er overvældende, men elsker kirsebær). Et æbletræ. Jeg er en basic bitch - vil bare have elstar æbler. Behøver intet fancy, men skal lige undersøge, for mine oldefædre havde planteskoler og frugttræer og lur mig om ikke der står noget i de bøger jeg har arvet. Og så vil jeg have et nøddetræ. Valnøddetræ fx.

Vil også have en hindbærbusk. En lille plot jord på grunden til at så kartofler og rødbeder og jordskokker. Gulerødder i højbede:) og kål hvis jeg kan undgå kålmider.

Vil have en stor busk med lyselilla syrener. EJ! Måske jeg skal tage stiklinger fra min mormors have, så det er PRÆCIS de planter jeg vil have, som jeg ender med???? Kan jo gro dem i mine forældres drivhus indtil de er klar til at få et hjem i en udendørspotte og senere blive plantet ud!!!

JA JA JA<3

Og så vil jeg lave marmelade og vin og chips og suppe og dele det med alle jeg synes om:)

Skal også have vildt meget persille.

Det bliver en oase.

I think if Beetlebud and Havendawn played Minecraft together Haven would be the one who makes a pretty house and also beats the ender dragon in the first day while Beetle repeatedly dies in the background (he also lives in either a hole, a dirt hut or a really poorly made house that he tried to copy from Haven)

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada launches January 23, 2025 - Gematsu

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on January 23, 2025, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Game Studio announced.

Pre-orders will include seven days of early access to the game on January 16, as well as the “Daisy Ogre” CRADLECOFFIN skin. Deluxe and Ultimate Editions containing downloadable content will also be available.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

About

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called The Tears of the New Moon wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans are forced to build an underground haven to survive. Take on the role of a Drifter whose goal is to collect the rare resource known as AO Crystals. In your quest, you must collaborate with your artificial intelligence partner to face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders and survive the hazards on the surface.

Survive the Surface

Rise from the underground to a surface world infested with hostile Enders, toxic rains, and other enemies, as you fight to loot for resources. Ride your CRADLECOFFIN, cooperate with your Magus, and stay alert around other players. One false move is all it takes to lose both your mecha and precious supplies, left to be scavenged by the remaining survivors.

The Magus: Your Personal Partner to Keep

This humanoid AI supports in exploration, scavenging, and combat. Each model type has a different personality, and its appearance can be extensively customized. They operate by giving tailored feedback on the objective based on analysis of your previous performance in sorties so you don’t make the same mistakes twice. Keep them close, as Magus can also unleash unique abilities when you are in a tough spot!

The CRADLECOFFIN: Your Vehicle to Ride

The CRADLECOFFIN is an all-weather bipod developed for the harsh terrain of the surface. Each mecha has a different endurance level, load capacity, operation time, and can be further customized with many body parts and weapons to suit each sortie and try new playstyles. Craft new parts by collecting resources and upgrading the garage and discover how powerful a CRADLECOFFIN can become!

choose violence ask game (life series edition)

oh my god, this is gonna be a bit long lmao, bear with me

1. the character everyone gets wrong

tango, i have rarely seen people get him just right. he's one of those characters that unfortunately gets molded into whatever the fandom needs him to be. dont blame them, i can admit i also struggled to have a good grasp of his character at first

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

i saw someone rant about how scott and cleo were just merciless bullies against pearl. which yeah, they were pretty mean to her, but the person didn't even attempt to understand scott and cleo's motivations. i know it doesn't seem much, but as someone who has a passion for that series's characters and their motivations it pissed me off that they were just ignored

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

the person from the question above lol. i rarely block accounts (unless they're bots), but the post i mentioned had very disgusting vibes

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

solidaritek shippers who talk shit about flower husbands. and the opposite too, but i've seen that one more. let jimmy be loved by two people for fuck's sake!!

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

"dogwarts were the good guys actually" NO THEY FUCKING WERENT. watch the crastle or jimmy and scott (especially those two), dogwarts tried to forcefully take over all groups at one point. im not saying they were evil, they had understandable motivations...but that doesn't make them "good". i think this opinion popularized as pushback from "desert duo are the good guys" opinion (which is also wrong lol)

9. worst part of canon

the limited life ending, im sorry. not because martyn "played dirty", if anything that made the ending way better than it would've been. but the lead up from all three final perspectives were a bit underwhelming

10. worst part of fanon

sometimes people give too much power to the watchers to the point they take away autonomy from the characters. they are WATCHERS. they watch, not play. yes they put the players in the situation, but the players themselves are the ones putting the show

13. worst blorboficiation

i dont know if worst, but lizzie. she tends to be very dumbed down and infantilized. as if she didn't kill as boogey multiple times by making people trust her. dont get me wrong, she is chronically confused, but she is not a sweet innocent angel too fragile for this world

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time

i really dont know anything about hermitcraft so there might be a reason for it, but i see a lot of fics that make that server the "safe haven/place of healing in between life games". i dont really watch hc, so whenever i see it in fics and they reference stuff from that server i go ???. not complaining of course, i just try to pick up the context clues and use the general fandom knowledge i gathered through osmosis

15. that one thing you see in fanart all the time

y'know, i still don't know what those things that people put on pearl's head are. they look like bunny ears, or two feathers sticking out. something i also see a lot is all the winners in stained glass windows, sometimes in a "Hall of Winners". i dont know where it came from, but i eat it up every single time, i love it

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

not a fan of romantic smalletho. i tried, the idea of them is fun, but they're just besties in my brain

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

ender skizz!! his 3L red skin is so iconic. also more team best as superheroes. they called themselves the heroes of the server, dress them up as that

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

i dont see people referencing cleo's almost death by tree suffocation on the first episode of third life, even though they were so many perspectives of it. narratively, it was the first time that they saw death as a possible threat. outside of the story, it was so fucking funny. they were all chilling and suddenly, tree

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

i'll be honest, im not the biggest smut fan. i'm not against it, but i dont really get the appeal. i won't turn away an E rated fic if im interested on the concept of the overall fic, but i dont actively search them. i will say...treebark smut is always so well fucking written. the love, the devotion, the yearning, the desperation, the craving. treebark enjoyers can write a good sex scene, and you can quote me on that

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

bigb was jealous of ren and martyn in double life. he says it, out loud, multiple times. there's so many angles you can go with this and so much potential. there's the treebark angle of course, but there's also how bigb used that to avoid responsibility from having a secret soulmate behind ren's back. tbh ren and bigb's relationship overall is way too ignored for literally being the most interesting soulmate pair

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

a bit more overall mcyt than life series fandom, but any boundaries discourse, especially shipping for some reason. i have a lot of opinions, but overall i think we should stop fucking talking about "boundaries" so much. boundaries assumes a two-way interaction. and unless i am tagging the cc or putting stuff on their chats/comments or on knowingly frequented tags, what i am posting does not need their permission. does that mean "post everything, have no morals"? fuck no, but that is really the responsibility of each person. if i don't think something should be posted on the internet, i won't do it. if i see people posting that stuff, i will mute/block/report (if needed). you know what we shouldn't do? bring attention to uncomfortable shit to ccs when they are live (aiming this directly to the 2 donos in the last couple of weeks that have asked scar what his boundaries on shipping is, which he either truly doesn't understand or is purposely avoiding to reply). anyways, always causes rancid discourse and at worst full on witch hunts for shit that really doesn't matter

Dawn Of The Simfected: Meet The Neighbours

(3)

You can create your own Sims or add these ones to your game. They'll all play a part in the challenge. Find them under suesimming in the gallery

The Partner

You've always liked your neighbour Dizzy. She's odd but sweet and always takes care of everyone in your building. When the virus hits, you two decide to team up and what you learn about her really surprises you. First, she's a very country Sims and can clean and cook fish like you've never seen. Second, she's packing and thank goodness because the neighbours seem to want to snack on you. Third, she's hot. She's the prefect survival partner.

The Herbalist

While hiding in the woods waiting for the worst of the R8-GE virus to pass, you meet Jayla. She knows everything about plants and how to use them to heal. When someone in camp falls deadly ill, Jayla steps in and saves them. When winter starts to draw near, you know you have to move your group to lower ground to avoid the worst of the snow and Jayla agrees to go with.

The Rooftop Camp

At The Caboose you can get warm coffee, a cold brew and whatever Bill is cooking up. He has a big heart, a great sense of humour and nothing scares him. Not even Sims that want him on the menu. He sets up camp on the roof of his building and provides a landing spot for Sims fleeing the city

The Kid

One night you meet this little runt, running from a bunch of hooligans. You feel sorry for the kid but the virus is everywhere and you know by taking her in you are exposing not only yourself but the whole group and it's a extra mouth to feed. On the other hand, you can't let the poor kid fight this thing on her own but then again, she's made it this far so she might be useful.

The Del Sol Gang

The Nomads are a feral tribe of Sims that run Del Sol. Made up of four classes: Chiefsblood that rule the tribe with an iron bloody fist, Scavs that provide for the tribe, Enders that act as enforces/soldiers and Worklings. If you cross paths with Nomads, you better run. They'll take everything you have and either make you a workling or end you. The most feared Sims in Del Sol Valley, even worse than the dead.

The Sulani Rescue Team

When R8-GE hit, Tess was just a seaplane pilot flying tourist into Sulani & Ed was slinging drinks at The Sand Bar. Now Ed does supply runs at night with two of the dead to help carry the goodies he finds, he found by feeding them plasma fruit & plasma packs he can stop them from attacking him. Tess flies supplies out to other communities like those in Henford, Chestnut and Bridleton. She also goes on rescue missions with Ed to save Sims trapped by the dead.

The Big Guns

The Oasis Springs base has held up well with such a small force to defend it. They've kept most of the herds out of Oasis and raiders know to keep well away. The time has come to train those left after R8-GE and take back Simnation. Colonel Gregory won't settle for anything but the best of the best as she knows you'll have to go into the deadlands aka Strangerville to save Simkind and that won't be for the weak.

The Ranch

This family lost many friends to the R8-GE virus. They've worked the land on Yellowrock for generations and when Sims found their way to the ranch, the family knew it was time to build a new community on the land they knew so well. Who needs cars when you have horses right? And plenty of crops to feed everyone. Heins finds himself the unlikely mayor of this new little town.

The Manor

When the R8-GE virus hit, Holden didn't wait around to see what happens. He put a fence around his farm, secured his animals and got the manor ready to receive more Sims. He had Dr. Nostrum move in and build a clinic. His farm soon turned into a small town, a safe haven and a place to not just survive but thrive. He hopes to create a future for his little girls even if the world has gone to hell.

The Harbour

When the world was taken over by the R8-GE virus, no one was left to look after the animals. Fisherman Herbert and Vet Frances are working around the clock to save not only pets but their owners. Brindleton has become a safe harbor for all. The docks are busy day and night with Sims arriving, buying food and trading items. Frances finds herself in the role of mayor since the old went ran off into the woods when Sims started to turn. She's turned the vet clinic into a clinic for Sims too, although she doesn't really know how to treat Sims. So say "moo"...oh dear, we mean "aaah".

Your New Best Friend

You go to check on your downstairs neighbour, a army vet that you think might have an idea about how bad this virus could be. Sadly, you find a note asking someone to please take care of Soldier. You can hear movement in the next room but you're pretty sure whatever it is, is no longer your neighbour. You take Soldier, close the door and tape a note to it "Do not enter. Dead inside"

And those are your neighbours

ALT DA:I VERSE — void and vessel, sheath and shear.

VERSE TYPE: open ( linked with @sanctamater ) VERSE TIMELINE: anywhere within the events of dragon age: inquisition and trespasser. if plotted, before and after this timeline are also workable!

TL;DR: elizabeth was raised in an isolated andrastian doomsday cult, intended to be a living nuke/messiah/world-ender. thanks to her mix of bloodlines and fade-related experiments done on her during childhood, her cocktail of powers is formidable: magic, capital D Dreaming, and the ability to interact with the veil and the fade — which is made stronger by the orb incident at the conclave.

this incident separates liz and amelia from the cult. in haven, they find each other again and start a new life away from comstock's power and control. once again, elizabeth finds herself becoming an idol. she is so tired.

detailed bio (lol) below.

this is gonna be an ongoing wip so i'm just gonna do a quick and dirty bullet point list for now.

in a secluded forest in the dales, scattered with abandoned orlesian estates, zachary comstock created a niche andrastian doomsday cult.

naturally, he wanted to create a baby messiah that would, at his bidding, fully end the world so that he could create a new one from its ashes. does NOT believe in magic, notably. he's like.... the anti-solas. lmao

anyway he marries amelia, an ex-bard who became a god-fearing woman, and "had a baby" "with her" (she had a lil tryst with booker, half-elven, a templar recruit passing through)

uh oh! baby is a mage! baby is a dreamer mage! baby is making friends with entities that want to be roommates in her brain!

after baby born, comstock recruits robert and rosalind lutece (mage-researchers who were exiled from tevinter for magic crimes) to help turn baby into a nuke.

amelia threatens to beat the shit out of rosalind if she doesn't help elizabeth not get eaten by a demon.

with the help of some cult-loyal former templars, they rework comstock house into a sort of... solitary circle tower? essentially doubling as a house for the family to live and a laboratory where elizabeth's abilities can be observed and analyzed as they grow.

AND BOY HOWDY, DO THEY GROW.

YOUTH, POWER, & THE SIPHON.

thanks to the absolute CLUSTERFUCK of the luteces' fade/veil experiments on baby liz, her magey magic, and her dreaming, elizabeth's power spikes exponentially when she hits puberty. this very nearly destroys not only her body and mind (abomination. yeehee) but the environment around them (tears).

this is a good sign. this means it's working. BUT it needs to be Handled.

underneath the house, the luteces build the siphon: some kind of... you know what i'm not gonna figure out how it works rn. but it's essentially a contraption(???) that suppresses her multidimensional fade/veil shit, stunts her dreaming abilities, and dulls her magic to normal-mage-people levels.

this allows comstock to have direct control of how much power elizabeth has! like any good dad should :)

as in infinite, the luteces regularly wipe elizabeth's memories of the experiments done on her, so she just thinks her power spiked and then dulled on its own for whatever reason. in general her memories of childhood are pretty foggy, though the one constant throughout is her bond with her mother, @sanctamater.

THE CONCLAVE.

oh boy i sure hope shit doesn't hit the fan!

elizabeth is sent to the conclave in an attempt for comstock and his cult to gain a foothold in general thedosian politics. she takes her mother amelia with her, but amelia waits in haven while the conclave happens.

shit hits the fan. liz suffers an orb incident.

interestingly, the new mark on her hand seems to interact directly with the powers she already possesses — this is something i wanna develop further but don't have the brain juice to think about right now. we'll table that for later.

liz and amelia are an inseparable unit thereafter. deprogramming them — especially amelia, who has been through A LOT — is going to take time. but i believe in them :)

shit will probably hit the fan again later when zachary finds them, but you know what? we don't gotta worry about that right now. right now, we're building an inquisition and cringing so hard when our mom makes sure we wear mittens before we go to emprise du lion.

and the rest is history (to be documented another time as threads happen)!

[ditzydreamsss]

this one skephalo origins au i never started writing

i dont remember much and i kinda forgot about it.

benchtrio & skephalo centric

I might write drabbles of it later but maybe not, idk. I'm not really in the skephalo fandom anymore but at the same time-

TITLE: the skephalo origins au idk [chapters] SETTING: origins au IDEA:

Tommy is the youngest adopted son of Emperor Philza Minecraft of the Origins Kingdom. He sees a glimpse of Skeppy and Bad when he's sneaking into the kitchen for a midnight snack. Main conflict? Don't know yet. Anyways, Bad is the Brave Soul's reincarnation, kind of.

A long, long time ago, when there were no monsters and no different dimensions, it was peaceful. But one day, an eclipse happened midday. The Brave Soul stepped forward and grabbed the 14 stars from the void filled sky. They used one of the star's powers to wave off the void to seal it into a portal under a mountain. With the other 12 stars, the Soul released them into the sky and the stars grew until they shattered into a billion pieces. The Brave Soul took the last star and before anyone could thank them, they were never seen again.

Bad is the Brave Soul's reincarnation. When Philza went to the end to defeat the dragon, the ghost of the soul was following him. Phil took the egg to the overworld because he couldn't make himself destroy it. The egg disappeared from Phil because the spirit of the soul entered the egg and boom, there's Bad.

The reason why Bad named himself Bad is because no one would adopt or help him and at some point, people started to hunt him just because of his foreign devil look. People called him "bad" a lot, so Bad just thought that was his name.

Bad in this story is canonically half ender dragon, half starborne.

Bad and Skeppy met when Bad was running away, having to stolen food yet again. What could he do? He didn't know how to do anything else. Bad almost got caught by the angry shopkeeper but then a rock embedded in jewels (though worthless) hit the shopkeeper and distracted them enough for Bad to escape. Turns out it was Skeppy. Skeppy's been out in the wild too, but this time wanted to be captured because of his ability to produce jewels. When Bad's a bit far away from the town, Skeppy jumps down in front of Bad and scares the stars out of him. Bad explains how he's not wanted then they argue for a bit, Bad trying to push Skeppy away. At the end, they decide to stick together. Also they both have a really bad crush for each other but they're too busy worrying about themselves that they don't notice the other's feelings (typical skephalo).

Years ago, when Tommy's still very young, Phil tells the story of the Brave Soul. Then someone from SBI requests the story of how Phil defeated the dragon. And then Phil mentions the egg. After the story, hours after everyone fell asleep, Tommy wakes up. It's midnight and Tommyinnit have the horrible cravings of a cookie and a coca coly. When Tommy's going to the kitchens for a cookie, he sees a flash and a red tail outside the window. Then they're gone. Tommy ignores it and is afraid, even though he'll never admit it.

Years later, when Tommy's about.. 15-16 let's say. He's outside exploring and trying to find a base for himself and bee duo. A safe haven, a place where Tommy can practice flying (without the trainers scolding him for his wild ways, but he can't help it. His wings are meant for short, strong glides.), Tubbo can store is nukes and make them with no disturbance (besides Ranboo, but he's pretty much given up), and a place for Ranboo to be free without his mask with no judgement because of his genetics and their half-split face (even though clingy duo insists it looks "badass").

Tommy of course gets lost. But he denies it and doesn't admit it. He and Tubbo argue up to a point they decide to seperate, Ranboo having no choice but to follow Tubbo. Then the trio hears mobs far after they separated. Tubbo feels immediate regret. So bee duo rushes back to Tommy.

Meanwhile, Tommy's having a horrible time. There's zombies and skeletons and creepers and soon, there would be phantoms too. Tommy's cornered now, and the mobs approach him. He's about to die when a bunch of shiny shards attack the mobs and suddenly, Tommy's airborne and being carried away. They don't fly high, only high enough to avoid the mobs. Directly under the canopy, and sometimes in it.

+ The one who rescued Tommy is Bad. Skeppy's fighting the mobs. Bad trusts that Skeppy can hold them off long enough. And besides, Skeppy's skin is almost indestructible. He's tried before (reluctantly). Tommy is at first struggling but stops after a while after Bad tells him Tommy's not going to be hurt and that he's not going to hurt Tommy and stuff like that. Tommy still doesn't trust Bad much, and Tommy can't see very well in the darkness, but Tommy allows Bad to carry him.

+ Then the scene cuts back to beeduo. Ranboo: Is.. Is that tommy over there up in the sky? Tubbo: get him. Tubbo drags Ranboo while somehow avoiding all the mobs, focused on Tommy and getting his best friend back.

+ Bad brings Tommy into a small hole under a rock. It's surprisingly cozy. Tommy rushes to the other side of the hole as soon as Bad releases him. Tommy spitting out words and insults and Bad's trying to calm him and reason with him (at some point, they exchange names). Bad's losing until Skeppy just comes in and is like "Kid. We literally saved you. We can just throw you back out with the mobs or you can stay here until morning. I'd rather go on with the first option, but I have a feeling a certain someone will have problems with that.)

+ Tommy reluctantly quiets down on that. He mumbles and agreement and goes to the corner, drags the blankets Bad gave him at some point, and lays down. He surrounds himself with his wings and goes to sleep.

+ Meanwhile, Tubbo's still outside in the darkness. His horns glow a bit, giving light but also alerting mobs nearby. Ranboo somehow reasons with Tubbo with good enough reasons to stay up in a tree until morning. Bee duo sleeps.

Tubbo: im going to murder him for this. Ranboo: calm down, honey- (both thinking, but they're so in sync they might as tell be telepaths.) /p of course

I didn't look over this at all so... sorry if nothing makes sense :D

Okay! Been working on small summaries of the different eras/time-periods of the cat au, so here’s the first one! 

Origin Era 

The era that started it all. This story focuses on Dream (XD) and his two mates Silver (George) and Talon (Sapnap) as they figure out how to survive in the wild with a small group of friends. They’re originally from a colony of barn cats, whose strict laws and hierarchy eventually force them to search for a better life in the untamed forest.

While they gain a lot of freedom in the woods, they also have to face the harsh cruelty of nature. Many of the cats in their small group fall victim to larger predators, or die of diseases they don’t know how to cure. Despite this they’re determined to make it work, to learn how to survive and build a safe haven for any cats that wish to escape the same cruelty they had.

It’s with this in mind that Dream faces the dangers of a dark mysterious lynx that he finds trapped in a snare. Knowing she’s a creature of the wild that can teach him her ways he offers her freedom in exchange for her knowledge. She’s enraged by this offer, not wanting to be indebted to a Man’s pet, but accepts to save her life.

Ender, the lynx, teaches Dream about the forest, the animals he should be cautious of and the herbs that will help heal sickness. Dream takes in her words with rapt attention, but when she starts talking about the history of their world, the Stars, and wandering Whispers, he’s quick to dismiss her. Ghosts aren’t real after all, and even if they were, how would they be of any use to him if they’re long since dead and gone?

Ender tells him he will regret not listening to her teaching, and while he doesn't believe her at first he soon will. As one of his mates falls sick and fades the possibilities of ghosts and rebirth quickly becomes hope. Hope that leads him on a chase for more knowledge, which soon becomes a hunt for power. Hope which blinds him to his past as he forges a new future. Hope that ends with his mate’s blood soaked in his fur and Ender’s fangs around his neck, damning his Star to forever be Broken.
