#feathered-moths-ablaze headcanons

[overthinkingtaleblr]

This is extra that I thought up for the "Ghost cat magnet" anon ask I sent

Ghost ends up adopting one of the cats (Poltergeist) and Toast and Polt having a "Dad doesn't want pet cat. Ends up loving it within a week"

At first he's like "Johnny, you listen to me: We Don't Have The Budget For A Cat" then after a few days Ghost catches him asleep with Poltergeist purring on his chest

I figured I’d combine the two asks since I have similar answers for them!

I think it’s incredibly cute for Ghost to have an affinity toward animals! Especially cats. Cats are seen as the loners of house pets and Ghost is the loner of the PIE team and seeing them combine is absolutely adorable. Toast being the practical one up until the cat melts his heart is adorable, too.

To yes and your hc a bit, imagine that Toast was worried about adopting poltergeist because he was worried that the whole werewolf thing, even if he was cured, would screw him over. So poltergeist accepting him basically broke his brain and continues to break his brain All The Time.

anyway I need to go to bed but I have too much energy so I am channeling it into headcanons. here u go species headcanons for Everyone on the Dream smp with explanations because I’ve put a TON of thought into this. They’re probably like half contradicted by canon but fuck it My City Now.

Dream- A (juvenile) stage of being a god. He, DreamXD, and Drista have become known as “dreamons” but that’s technically a separate species, all spawned from them. He's not really focused on being worshipped in his own right, preferring power in the mortal realm, though he’s not averse to pretending to be his brother (the god worshipped by Church Prime) or his sister (a minor goddess of death worshipped by many hidden cults) if it can help him get power. He’s got pure white skin everywhere except his face (which is pale but human-like), black blood, entirely green eyes, pointed ears, fangs, claws, and digitigrade legs ending in hoof-like claws.

George- A human, the only human on the whole server. Humans are pretty rare, vastly outnumbered by hybrids but outnumbering any other species, and “pure” humans (what we'd consider to be a completely normal appearing human) are all but nonexistent. For example, George has eyes with dark sclera and white irises.

Sapnap- A blaze hybrid. He’s got a few rods surrounding him and his eyes blaze with fire. It’s usually just warm but not hot enough to hurt but if he's agitated or upset it can easily burn hot enough to set things ablaze.

Callahan- A reindeer hybrid. He’s got antlers, reindeer ears, fur around his arms, and hooves.

Awesamdude- A creeper hybrid. He's tauric, with four insect like legs. His skin and is green and mottled and has a texture similar to leaves. His eyes are pitch black. He has a tendency to make hissing sounds when stressed, though he can’t explode like a full blooded creeper.

Alyssa- A mouse hybrid, with large mouse ears and a long tail. This definitely isn’t an in joke for the thousands of hours I spent browsing TVTropes as a child and the “what happened to the mouse” tROPE SHUT UP.

Ponk- A demon hybrid, with pointed ears, slit pupils, a small spaded tail, and small horns.

BadBoyHalo- A full blooded demon, with pointed ears, a tall stature, pitch black skin and hair, fangs, claws, hooves, a long spaded tail, long horns, and small bat like wings. He’s rather self conscious about how intimidating he looks. He's also a lich (with Skeppy as his phylactery) which is why he has pure white eyes (a trait the undead share).

TommyInnit- An absolute mess, genetic wise, since I’m taking Tommy's joke about being born in a lab and running with it. He's mostly angel, and was basically cloned from Phil's DNA (from a feather that fell off his wings that somehow someone got a hold of) but had a bunch of other hybrid and human DNA mixed in to make him somewhat stable enough to actually survive gestation. He has very small, dark wings that are useful for balance and little else, fangs, claws, and pointed ears. His bones are very light, making him fragile but a lot more dexterous. His blood is slightly off a human's, being slightly pinkish. His freckles, wings, blood, and eyes glow slightly and are patterned like the night sky. Technically undead as of his resurrection, and maintains the many injuries of his death permanently (bruises stay and don’t heal but don’t worsen, broken limbs can be moved at unnatural angles, ect.), pale, corpse like skin, and one of his eyes turned pure white.

Tubbo- A ram hybrid, with small curved ram horns, horizontal pupils, ram ears, a tail, and hooves. Nice and simple after the absolute mess that was Tommy.

Fundy- A limited shapeshifter, able to change his species, though he prefers to be in a fox-like form. He inherited this from Sally, who had similar abilities, though with more strength. He's always got certain features he inherited from each parent that he can’t change though- wings, pale skin, and ice-like freckles from Wilbur, and salmon scales coating his wings and cheeks, and ginger-and-white hair from Sally.

Punz- A dragon hybrid, with dark horns, dark sclera and slit pupils, wings just large enough for limited flight, a strong tail, fangs, claws, and blue scales coating his cheeks, wings, tail, arms, and legs. Has a natural inclination to sleep in a pile of his wealth he only holds off on when he feels it’s at risk of being stolen (which, since this is the Dream SMP, is almost constantly).

Purpled- An enderman hybrid, with small horns, pointed ears, purple blood, and ender particles surrounding him. Parts of his arms and legs are covered in leathery, pure black skin.

Wilbur- Half angel, half fucking refrigerator because cc!Wilbur hates us (affectionate). His skin is unnaturally, icy pale, and his blood is an icy blue. His freckles are the colour of ice reflecting. He's got wings from his father, large enough to glide, but they’re pale coloured and slightly transparent. He has fangs claws, and pointy ears. His blood, wings, and eyes glow slightly and are patterned like the night sky. As Ghostbur, he’s got the injuries of his death apparent at all times, though they don’t hinder him or cause him pain, corpse like skin, pure white eyes, and is permanently transparent.

JSchlatt- A ram hybrid. He’s got large ram horns, dark sclera and horizontal pupils, a ram tail, fur around his arms, and hooves.

Skeppy- A construct made to be Bad's phylactery. He's fully made of diamond, and appears as a moving human statue (though entirely made out of diamond), though he has limited shape shifting ability to change his “hair” and “clothes”, though he has to remain the same mass. He has some small red detailing on him out of redstone (which was used partially in his contruction). The egg flipped the red and teal in his colour scheme. Also he's smalllllllllllll.

Eret- Part ghost, due to being descended from Herobrine. She has pure white eyes, pointy ears, and under stress he becomes partially transparent. They tend to hide their nonhuman features (ears under hair or hats and eyes under sunglassses) and are often mistaken for human.

Jack Manifold- Started as a wolf hybrid, with large wolf ears and a tail. After dying, he came back from hell as a hellhound with red and blue “flames” coming from his eyes, ears, and replacing his missing tail he lost in one of his deaths with two made of this fire. The fire is chillingly cold to the touch, and not warm. His eyes are also monocolour, though in heterochromatic red and blue instead of the usual pure white found in undead.

Niki- A moth hybrid, with antennae, monocolour amber eyes, fluffy wings, and more fluff around her neck, wrists, and torso. These and her hair are patterned gold and black, though as of now she’s dyed them all pink. Idk I just feel like moths fit her for some reason.

Quackity- A duck hybrid, with golden wings and webbed hands and feet. He’s also a shapeshifter of sorts, however instead of shifting into different forms he shifts into different beings, from alternate realities that never came to be. These can be used to shift into near identical copies of those around him, to impersonate them, or to shift into alternate versions of people (like Mexican Dream to Dream). These aren’t Quackity, though, and as such they have their own pool of canon lives, and while he has lots of influence over them they can still act autonomously.

Karl Jacobs- An inter dimensional being made of time itself. While his current form is mostly human, he has technicolour rainbow blood, freckles, and patches on his skin, along with clock-shaped pupils that change with the time. His “natural” form is a vaguely humanoid mess of ever shifting colour.

HBomb- I didn’t know what to do with him at first- he was a cow hybrid in my pfp set- but I just think the idea of him being a chill cat hybrid who turns full nyaa whenever he’s in a maid dress to be funny so he’s a cat hybrid now. With dyed-white cat ears and a dyed-white cat tail.

Technoblade- A piglin hybrid primarily, but he’s definitely got some weird traces of other species. He’s got tusks, pink hair, pink pig ears, a pig tail, and hooves, but he’s also got paws from some other animal hybridisation in his blood, and has a tallness that suggests demon blood somewhere down the line. His red eyes aren’t natural, and only occurred after he was sacrificed to be the vessel of the Blood God.

Antfrost- A cat hybrid, with blond and brown fur, a cat tail, paws both on his hands and feet, and cat ears. He’s also got split pupils and blue sclerae (though a different shade to his irises).

Philza- An angel- the creation of a god or goddess to help serve them (Dreamon's would be an example of the angels the Dream's can create, though they’re primarily running wild nowadays.) The creation and servant of one of the gods of death, Kristen, to serve her in the mortal realm. He’s got very large feathered dark wings, pupilless unnaturally bright eyes, pointy ears, fangs, claws, and dark blood the colour of the night sky. His wings, eyes, freckles and blood glow brightly and are patterned like the night sky. Injuries reveal that he's fully inhuman under his skin, appearing to be a void of colour that also glows and is patterned like the night sky. His crows, who are messengers from the afterlife, have this same pattern on their feathers.

Conner- I don’t know much about him tbh but. He’s just a hedgehog hybrid. I mean he’s joked enough about canonically being the kid of Sonic and Elise. He’s got blue hedgehog ears and a tail, and blue spines mixed in with his dark hair.

Captain Puffy- A sheep hybrid, with small curled sheep horns, sheep ears, a fluffy sheep tail, hooves, and hair curly and soft like wool. The split in her hair between brown and white is natural, though she keeps a small section dyed rainbow.

Vikkstar- Another angel, though of a god long gone. His entire body, even his “clothes” (which are made of flesh) glow intensely bright and have the pattern of the night sky.

LazarBeam- A gingerbread hybrid, which I’d say is dumb but we’ve already had a refrigerator hybrid so. I don’t know what else to say here.

Ranboo- Half enderman, half god of some sort. Has small horns, pointy ears, an inhumanly wide mouth with fangs, claws, digitigrade feet ending in hoof-like claws, pure black and white skin, pure black and white hair and freckles on the opposite side of the skin, red and green heterochromatic eyes barely distinguishable from their sclera, and red and green blood. Hmm, I wonder what other character shares similar descriptions... :)

FoolishG- A more matured god than Dream. Appears to be made entirely out of gold, with his hair and freckles appearing like copper. His pure green eyes have a similar texture to emeralds. Also he’s like. Massive. He’s like eleven Skeppy's.

Hannah- A nymph of the forests. Has prehensile vines and flowers flowing in her hair all the way to the ground, and half of her face and one of her arms are entirely made of these prehensile vines and flowers. Makes flowers grow in her step, after being corrupted by the egg they wither around her instead.

Charlie- Slime hybrid. Honestly just kind of got the most impractical parts of being a hybrid, having random sections of skin changed into green slime which drips everywhere and kind of gets in the way. It doesn’t seem to bother him though.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

I read that Toast has a fear of water and I've got more headcannon for werewolf toast

When in wolf form, he will not cross any body of water, whenever it'll be a lake, shallow river or a puddle. He can't swim in either form, so he'll sink like a stone if the water's deep enough; best to just avoid it all together. Plus he's quite proud about his fur, and doesn't want to get it dirty by water and things sticking to his wet fur.

This also extends to rain. If it's raining, he will not go out in it. If he gets caught in it, he'll bolt to any solid overhang. This extends to manmade objects like under cars as well.

If you try to shove him into water, he'll make himself hard to move and growl, whine and howl his refusal (or snap at you if he's annoyed that you haven't got the message yet)

Undecided if I should include showers/baths on the list because on one hand, it would be funny to see how one would try to bathe this mass of furry 'no', but on the other, it would also be funny for him to contradict himself.

GOOD FOR HIM.

Since he’s a werewolf, there shouldn’t be much of a reason for the team to shower or bathe him, since he should be able to take care of it when he turns back… but if worse turns to worse and he needs to be cleaned off before the night is up, i could see them resorting to hosing him down. I could also see that backfiring wildly, considering he’s a massive wolf with possible anger issues… also considering he’s probably Massive, hiding under cars sounds like a good way to break the neighbor’s car… which I imagine would be funny in hindsight.

It does feel like the main goal of the PIE team in this situation would be to keep him (and others) safe and make him feel comforted when it’s all over. If that includes a hot shower, thank goodness because he was just rolling around in mud 20 minutes ago.

Hopefully Toast can get out of this stuff with his dignity intact, considering this is probably the first time the interns see him like this.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

I think Gregory would've drawn a face on a box, wore it, gone up to CBF, go "Look! I'm you! :D" and absolutely make her cry from how cute it is

I’m just like you!! You’re just like me!!!

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Have a sappy headcannon:

Forehead kisses are Toast's weakness. Kiss him once and he's flustered and blushing; kiss him meny times and he's melting in your hands. It's also one of the few spots that works on his werewolf form as well, tho he'll instead whine and give puppy eyes if you stop

I almost pity him for being so heckin' tall, forehead kisses are probably few and far between!

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Toast with dog/wolf habits is making me feral. Mainly him being able to make noises like growls and whines during extreme emotion (or whenever he feels like pranking the team through the radio)

Honestly, this concept is especially fun to me if the team manages to use it to sus out when Toast is not Toast or he's possessed in some way. When the monstrous becomes accepted to be apart of your humanity and stuff like that,,,

Also toast randomly growling into the radio to make the others scream is hilarious i love that for him.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

I wonder: does Jimmy like moths?

Ending Two: Depends on your definition of like ^^;

[overthinkingtaleblr]

I wonder: does Jimmy like moths?

Ending One: Casket Loves moths <3

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Ough CBF covering herself in blankets so Gregory can sleep on her more comfy

[overthinkingtaleblr]

So it's considered cannon that Gavin getting confused for Johnny, but what about the other way around?

Like someone comes to him, pissed off that he "broke into their house last night", and Johnny just sighs, writes down Gavin's number, and goes "you've got the wrong twin. Yell at him." then leaves

I need a story where Gavin tries to do an "exorcism" because someone mistook him for his brother and was too desperate to take no for an answer. Or offered a lot of money. Or gavin took pity. Or he knew the ghost in question

Bonus points if it's a one-shot and we the audience don't even realize we're reading about the other brother.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

This is some major headcannon for me but I imagine that Spooker can have the most scathing look out of the team

It's hard to get on his bad side, but not impossible.

(also him doing it at Ghost when he's said something rude about him and he's had enough just ouugh. Show him your anger you <3)

POV you’re Ghost being a Dick as per usual— you say something that even you acknowledge crosses the line a bit and the nicest person you’ve ever met looks at you and just.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Just thought of something funny

Ghost and Toast dating but they haven't told anyone (they don't want the news public) and manage to hide it for years...

Then Woah walks in on them kissing or something else soft and romantic, and the next day reveals it Infront of the whole team.

Like she goes up to a still-half-asleep Colin and asks "Dada, why did uncle Toast smoosh faces with uncle Ghost?" and the room is so silent you can hear a pin drop

Considering how bad Toast and Ghost seem to be at not being obvious, i imagine so much money got passed around the room. There is no way people were NOT placing bets.

There’s also a lot of laughter going around as well.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

I have been laughing at this:

CBF 'adopting' Gregory the same way you 'adopt' local stray cats.

Like someone's put up a sign on the door saying that the kid scurrying around outside isn't theirs and to interact at your own risk, but CBF keeps feeding him so he stays until she takes him inside and basically adopts him.

(also I swear in the video there were references to there being more people than Gregory and CBF in the house, like that one statue he mentioned/picked up when he panicked about her not being real)

What makes me sad about this is the implication that Gregory was living alone and homeless in the middle of nowhere before CBF grabbed them.. Like. The poor baby!

I do really like the idea of other creatures living in the mansion, like maybe it was being treated as some kind of townhouse for the paranormal before it was bought at the end of the video. I mean, the statue is Grandfather and Grandfather is a reoccurring thing that is more of a representation of someone than a living thing, but there could be others there regardless!!! Or maybe Gertrude has other been kind of paternal and allowed the house to be a safe place for supernatural creatures… and Gregory was like a cat being snuck in even though the lease said no anima— oh GOD i just made gertrude a landlord i take it all back!

Plus side i got to draw Gregory as a baby

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Would Sally have watched any of the Jurassic Park films?

I think she would have watched all of them and loved them all. Specifically the part where the dinosaurs destroy everything and stuff. She is rooting for the prehistoric girlbosses all the way through.

She might also be banned from watching most of them bc i could absolutely see her turning to Papa, pointing at a dinosaur who they just watched spit acid at someone and go “I want one!!!” And then she talks about nothing but the acid-spitting dinosaur for the next month and a half. Which normally wouldn’t be a problem, but nobody knows where she got the first two dinosaurs from, who KNOWS if she had the means to get another???

[overthinkingtaleblr]

With the amount of time he spent in a dirty environment (and definitely ate a fuck ton of mould) Ghost's immune system is probably made from Titanium at this point.

On one hand, I’m sure he can withstand a lotttt of things other people couldn’t.

On the other hand, his uncertain vaccination record makes me wonder if he could be killed by strep.

Like, it takes awhile for him to catch something, but when he does it hits him like a train and completely incapacitates him for a few days.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Since Spooker is part ghost, could he be able to walk silently?

Ghost dislikes Spooks because he keeps jumpscaring him via creeping up behind him (usually not on purpose)

That is completely fair of Ghost and incredibly funny of Spooker.

It would also be really funny if Spooker sounded like he was stomping around half the time like unseen ghosts in paranormal movies.

Like half the time he’s practically gliding around and suddenly— CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP!!!

Ghost would be so annoyed.
