#every year or so i go 'huh i wonder what happened to fundy'

[xpoolboy]

fundy is so interesting to me. he started off as a regular minecraft youtuber with the schtick of adding funny mods to minecraft. then he became friends with dteam, joined the dsmp, got heavily involved in intense minecraft roleplay, joined MCC, got banned from MCC, and gained millions of followers on twitch and twitter. then a year ago he just?? goes completely silent on twitch and twitter and goes right back to his ONLY content being the occasional but consistent youtube video upload. like. he had all the success of any of the early dsmp members and then just. poofs. goes right back to where he was at the start content-wise (with an extra few million subscribers).

SO LITTLE HOPE AU HUH

TW: S/icide mention, death, manipulation, dark topics

Warning: Little Hope spoilers ahead lol

General timeline:

Tales of the SMP: The Village That Went Mad; slightly modified (Helga murdered first (stabbed to death), Bob and Jack are still the murderers, slight modifications to character list to add Lmanburg Revolutionary Doppelgangers. Cat is drowned, Robin is burned, William is hung, Theodore impaled on a fence, child-Fundy-doppelganger-with-no-name is left to starve.)

A lot of time passes

Cornelius changes his name to Dream.

Dream meets George and Sapnap.

DreamSMP is created.

All members present before the Lmanburg War are invited.

Disc War.

Dreamon possesses Dream.

Lmanburg Revolution.

Lmanburg Revolution falls; Eret betrays them, “Dream” (the dreamon) kills most of the revolutionaries in various ways (usually matching the way their doppelgangers died in the past, which is mostly to further torment Cornelius/the real Dream because he can’t do anything about it) and captures Tommy. Tommy is on his last life and has been placed in jail

3 years pass, “Dream” grows continually more evil and begins to kill anyone who gets in his way even slightly, including Corpse. He keeps Tommy updated on the situation outside of the jail, in an attempt to break him without actively physically hurting him (it’s no fun if your toy dies at the end).

At the beginning of his imprisonment, Tommy blames Eret and Dream; however, over the next three years, his perception slowly twists until he fully blames himself for everything. After all, if he’d never got those discs, none of this would have ever happened. If he hadn’t been so stubborn, everyone would still be alive… (Or so he thinks, anyway. In truth, “Dream” probably would have killed them anyway later on.)

“Dream” invites Technoblade, intending to spawntrap him and kill him, but Technoblade declines.

Tommy hears of the news and decides to try and reach Technoblade. (For clout)

Tommy attempts escape 2 times, and fails both times.

Tommy escapes.

Tommy smashes his head on a branch, passes out, begins hallucinating when he wakes up.

Hallucination timeline:

Bus crashes offscreen, Thomas wakes up with no memory other than what he dreamed after he was knocked out in the crash.

He is woken up by Tyler and William, who are concerned but conclude that he has a severe concussion. Thomas notices a burn scar on Tyler’s neck and comments on it, Tyler passes it off as it having come from the crash.

The group reunites with each other. When they attempt to go back to the bus, the thick fog returns them back to where they started, so they travel towards town in search of help, which is the only place where the road has no fog.

On the road towards town, Thomas and Hilda inspect a strange doll on the road, noticing a small child with fox ears and a fox tail standing in the woods looking sad. The child rushes them, and they are pulled into the past, where someone who looks exactly like Hilda (Helga) is seen yelling at her husband and at “Shrimpy”, both of whom look angry.

They find a small bar on the way, where a young man is getting absolutely hammered (this is Sapnap, but they don’t know that). He only responds when Thomas talks to him, but Thomas doesn’t put two and two together about that, and they quickly leave the bar in favor of making progress.

They reach the town, and the group splits up into two: Thomas and William on one team, and all the other on the other team. Thomas and William search the police station, while the others look for a different way out.

Uhhh early game stuff happens, Hilda and Thomas go back to the past and see Helga stabbed, Helga’s weird demon corpse starts hunting them. Cool I guess.

Repeat this process with everyone else, they’re still trying to find a way out, but they keep being dragged back to the past by the weird demon child, and watching doppelgangers of themselves die in vaguely gruesome ways. (Thomas feels like he’s missing something.) Every time a doppelganger dies, a new demon corpse starts hunting them.

From here, either the whole group survives until morning, or some (or all) of them die. Depending on how many members are left alive at the end, the ending changes

The bad ending would be “Dream” recapturing Tommy when he stops hallucinating, leading to either Tommy’s permanent death (if Thomas was killed by his corpse demon doppelganger…thing…) or Tommy spending the rest of his final life in jail (if he didn’t die at the end of the hallucination). This ending requires the entire party to die.

The best ending would be for Ranboo to find Tommy before he stops hallucinating. Once Tommy stops hallucinating, Ranboo talks to him about leaving the SMP, and the two of them will leave together. Tommy probably comes to terms with the fact that it wasn’t his fault that all his friends died. This requires every member of the party to stay alive.

Neutral ending is if one or more dies, but not the whole party. Tommy wakes up alone, depending on how many people died, he’ll either commit s/icide or he’ll leave the server alone, off to god knows where.

Hallucination characters:

Tubbo > Tyler > Robin (Tanya > Taylor > Tessa (?)) Traits: Anxious, paranoid

Tommy > Thomas > Theodore (Anthony > Andrew > Abraham) Traits: Impulsive, stubborn

Wilbur > William > William but twice (James > John > Joseph) Traits: Coercive, worrier

Corpse > Callum > Cat/unnamed (Dennis > Daniel > David) Traits: Apathetic, monotone

Quackity is there also I guess? > Hilda > Helga (Anne > Angela > Amy) Traits: Arrogant, aggressive, sexy

If you’re wondering why most of these traits are negative, it’s because these are like the starting traits from Little Hope! In the beginning, they’re locked; you can unlock them by doing certain actions in-game. If more than one is locked at the end of the game, then that character will die.

OMG THIS IS SO AMAZING AND DETAILED OMG

I CANT BELIEVE TUMBLR ATE THIS MASTERPIECE BEFORE HOLY FUCK-

[innittowinit]

Can you pick me up? my uni burnt down (Chapt. 2)

Relationships: Sleepy bois inc (all fics i write are platonic)

Summary: 

 In which Techno goes to England for University, his building catches fire in the night, and he isn't prepared for the difference in climate between England and California. SBI fluff ensues

Chapter summary: 

After waking up, Wilbur has the great idea that they should do a sleepy boys stream. Tommy doesn't get told about this id

Words: 1785

Language: English

AO3 Chapt. 1

Listen, waking up on a sofa, with a thin blanket shared with 3 men was never going to be the best morning. His back hurt and his legs were numb from Wilbur having sprawled out over the three of them as he slept. 

Stretching his arms back, he recounted the events of last night. God, it really was only a few hours ago, he was so tired. Had this been last year, he would have been able to stay up for days on end and then just crash for an entire weekend. It wasn’t last year though and Techno had gotten himself into a fairly healthy routine, he couldn’t exactly be sleeping through his uni classes anyway. 

“Alright you two” Hearing Philza’s voice, he propped his head up, “Get up, you can’t lay around all day”

A groan came from the mass of blankets and cushions that happened to be Wilbur, who was curled up in the centre of it,

“Phil it's so early and we went to bed so late. It’s fine to sleep in”

“Okay” he chuckled, humouring his tired friend “It’s midday Wil, im taking the blankets away now”

Techno thought it was much too early too, as he tugged the sleeves of Wilbur’s hoodie down a little further so they could act like gloves. 

“Do you mind if I use your PC to try and find out what’s going on with my classes at some point? They'll probably send me an email or something” He grumbled, standing up so he could stretch his back out properly, following Phil slowly to the kitchen.

“That’s fine, it's up in my room, do what you need”

Breakfast was nice, it had been a while since Techno had had time for it honestly, and even longer since he had been able to eat with people he cared about. He had a couple slices of buttered toast and a bowl of some british cereal which he didn’t really like but he didn’t want to be rude so he ate it anyway. 

“You wanna stream together later?” Wil asked through a mouth full of food, earning a snort from Phil. This was nice. 

“Yeah maybe, you use face cam though, I’m not like against showing them my face but y'know, it is what it is” he shrugged, spooning another mouthful of his breakfast into his mouth, he had to admit it was very bland, he much preferred the sweeter ones that were more popular in America. 

“Well think about it, if you decide you don't want them to see you, you can always just sit off to the side and I'll turn my monitor so you can still see it. My office is big enough for it anyway, it’ll be like where Niki was during that one MCC remember?”

Techno nodded and carried on eating, they really were 3 very sleepy boys right now. Maybe he’d take a nap once he found out what was going on with his classes. 

------------------

------------------

Streaming without any gameplay to comment about and with facecam on? Techno wasn’t exactly looking forward to it. That just didn’t really sound like something he was going to enjoy.

It was nerve wracking and he always seemed to glance at the camera too much when it was pointed at him. He knew the fans would be disappointed if he didn’t do it though, When Wilbur tweeted out saying that he and Phil would join him in a ‘you laugh you lose’ he watched as the replies freaked out. 

You could say he was just a bit camera shy, he wasn’t incredibly insecure, sure there were things he didn’t like that much but everyone had things like that, it just made him nervous to know that people were looking at him. 

He’d be okay with his friend’s though, he trusted that they’d never put him in an uncomfortable situation. He knew if he got overwhelmed he could sit outside the frame. 

It would be okay. 

“Hey hey chat” Wilbur mumbled into the mic, making it loud enough so that everyone could hear but it still sounded like he was whispering. 

“We’ve got the blade here, bet you weren’t expecting that huh chat? Or maybe you were, maybe you read the title of the stream, bet there’s someone watching who didn't think he’d be here though” he finally turned the music off and switched from his ‘starting soon’ screen to his regular camera. 

Wil went through the rules, it was the normal stuff, he added in some jokes here and there, prodding Techno and Phil to talk at times. They’d already agreed that this wouldn’t be for youtube, since that seemed to add a bit too much pressure for Techno, but hey, he still had to welcome his chat. 

“Okay!! First media share! Lets go”  

After a series of videos, some funnier than others, Techno had started to loosen up a bit. He was getting more comfortable with the camera and while he’d probably cringe while looking back at the footage, at least he was having fun right now.

He had a warm feeling in his chest that wasn’t usually there when he was streaming alone, sure it was usually fun but nothing was better than being with his friends while doing it, there was really only one person who was missing. 

As if on queue, chat started spamming Tommy’s name, for a moment Techno thought he had been mumbling his thoughts out loud, before he looked between Phil and Wilbur, who both seemed equally confused. Moving Wilbur’s mouse over the chat to pause it, Techno tried to read some of the messages. 

“Oh he tweeted something” he mumbled, pulling his phone out of his pocket without a care. Maybe some irl streamers would have used the computer but knowing Wilbur’s history, he doubted it could run Chrome and streamlabs at the same time. 

Looking at the tweet he felt a little pang of guilt. It was lighthearted and jokey but he knew there’d be a little truth to it. He nudged the other two and read it aloud to them. 

‘Damn guess I’m not a sleepy boy after all’

The air felt a little thick after that, they hadn’t meant to exclude Tommy; all of the excitement of Techno coming to stay had just made it a little hard to arrange to have Tommy here after all. 

Still, they probably should have still told him though. They were supposed to be each other's family.  

“Hey chat I think we’re gonna have to end stream early.” Wilbur finally piped up, deciding it wouldn't be right to carry on when they had hurt their friend, not that chat needed to know that though, he didn’t want to embarrass Tommy. 

“I feel kinda sick and I don't think you all wanna watch me vomit right? Yeah so it’s best we end it now” 

Techno sniggered to himself at that, in games Wilbur always seemed to be very cunning but he supposed he wasn’t very good at lying when it was about something he actually cared about. Said something being Tommy.  

After raiding Fundy, the trio hopped straight onto discord. 

Tommy didn't answer the first time he was called. 

Or the second. 

Finally, after three calls, Tommy decided he’d talk to them. 

“You are all a bunch of dick heads, you know that? What the hell! Why wasn’t I invited to the sleepy boy’s stream! Wilbur you bitch!” Through all the vulgar language and the constant yelling, it was clear that Tommy was genuinely upset. 

He had every right to be, as far as Techno was concerned. From his point of view his friend’s had just gone off and hung out without him. He just hoped he’d calm down once they explained everything.  

“You know I thought we were friends! I thought we were brothers! But if you don’t wanna hang out with a ‘kid’ you can just tell me and i’ll- i'll go!” He was still yelling, as usual, it was clear he was trying to make this into a joke where he could overreact but Techno noticed the small sniffles and the quiver in his voice. 

By the looks on Phil’s and Wilbur’s faces, they recognised it too.  

“Listen, Tommy” 

Wil was the first to talk, it made sense, it seemed that Tommy trusted him the most at times. Sometimes Techno could be a bit too cold and sometimes Phil could get a bit too overbearing.

Techno understood this, he didn’t take it personally, he knew it was only natural that you have people you trust with your emotions more than others. It didn’t mean Tommy didn’t love them just as much, just that they weren’t his ‘go-to’ when he felt down. 

Techno felt the same way sometimes. Feeling’s got complicated and personally he thought Phil was the best to talk to about that, the fact that he was older and had his life sorted out gave him a sense of comfort, like he could trust him because he knew what he was talking about. 

“We didn’t plan a meetup, it just sorta happened. Phil was at my place, helping me record, and then Techno’s Uni had a fire and he needed a place to stay while they’re making it safe again” Wilbur sighed as he heard Tommy moving on the other side of his mic. Techno wondered what he was doing. 

“We would have invited you, had we known that we’d all be in the same place Toms” 

Phil took over, giving Wilbur a little sympathetic smile. The brunette so obviously felt guilty about the situation. 

“But when we got the call from Tech’ it was past 3 in the morning and it was tipping it down with snow, as soon as we got home we all slept. We decided to do a stream this morning but never once did we intend to try and make you feel like you aren’t welcome with us” 

Finally it was Techno’s turn to talk...Fuck.

He wasn’t exactly the most sentimental guy, he struggled to show his emotions and he just assumed everyone he cared for just knew that he cared for them. He rarely had to say it out loud. God okay. He just had to swallow his pride and go for it. 

“Tommy you are a sleepy boy and you are our brother. We did kind of a dick move today and if I was you I’d probably be upset too. I know I didn't like seeing you guys playing without me during MCC and that wasn’t even any of our decisions. We should have called you or something. I know I kinda tease you a lot but that’s just how I show I like people. Listen Tommy if I didn’t care about you I wouldn’t be comfortable enough to make those kinds of jokes with you. It’s not funny if it’s hurting you though..”

Techno bit his lip, this wasn’t as hard as he had anticipated but it was coming out like word vomit. 

“You’re young Tommy but you’re so talented. We love you”

There was some more rustling, it sounded like Tommy was wiping his eyes. Maybe the boy had expected a yelling match, only for it to turn out to be very emotional. 

“I love you guys too.. If you ever exclude me ever again though I’m getting my vlog knife out”
