also it is canon that the federation is sending lovejoy out on tour, so they r CANONICALLY the reason why q!wilbur is gone. ALSO, i do 100% think that tallulah has every right to be mad and upset by the situation (because lets be honest, its an incredibly shitty position to be in), but the fandom getting mad for her is beyond annoying, especially because in the beginning, q!wil TOLD HER OUTRIGHT (audience included!!!!) that he was not going to be there for a very long time. he made it crystal clear to everyone that he was going to be gone, so much so that he was unsure if he wanted to adopt tallulah because he knew he couldnt provide for her what she needed, and tallulah understood and still wanted him to be her father and adopt her. EVERYONE was aware of what was going to happen, so even though he has not been able to physically be there for her, it is unfair to say that he is a deadbeat and a shit dad because he literally explicitly stated that he wasnt going to be around much. also, in his last stream he confirmed that q!wilbur has canonically been sending monthly letters to her even tho him as cc!wilbur isnt able to physically write letters so the idea that hes been zero contact with her is also fucking stupid (i wish that they mentioned this in the lore more tbh because it is continuing the narrative that hes a horrible parent). ALSO the narrative that he doesnt provide is stupid anyway because he literally provides for the entire island which is why he is away in the first place (canonically). its not even that he doesnt log on in canon, its that he is literally being SENT AWAY. like omfg STOP VILLAINIZING HIM JFC
#i am a tallulah lover first and foremost and just because she is bitter right now does not mean she does not love her father#she misses him and this is completely valid and fair#but i hope at some point he is able to come back and tell her that he was busy because of the feds sending him away#not because he didnt want to be there#because we ALL KNOW that he wants to be there#he is just not able to be.#new game take a shot every time i say “canonically” or “canon” LMAOOO#anyway rant over#for now at least#i will always defend wilbur characters idk#especially with the amount he is mischaracterized i have made it my personal mission to debunk all bad character rumors#this is me avoiding writing an essay for school#q!wilbur#q!tallulah#qsmp#qsmp wilbur#qsmp tallulah

Tbf I only check tags for fanart so I've only seen that type of take secondhand but. There Is Interesting things to tallulah n q!wil's dynamic like how he was all ohhhh if bad things happen I'll be around to protect her and how that'd interface with the actual dangers of the qsmp or what have u. Shrugs. Who's to say rlly.
(this reply is not really about wilbur nd phil its more just me talkin about philza :]) i found it really funny how Phil was goin on an adventure with tallulah and goin round teachin her about the things that are safe nd the things that aren't safe, nd how to use a sword and such to defend herself etc. and how after every other things he'd be like 'make sure you tell your dad this as well because he'd gonna go "oh look at that cave lets go in" and you've gotta make sure he knows that's dangerous' Like idk, love wil but im NOT confident he'd genuinely be able to protect her from the actual dangers of the world. Like, Phil dunt trust himself to do that, it's why he teaches them how to defend themselves.
Like sure. One way to remain safe is to never go outside and just only be in the worlds securest bunker where you da is witchu nd he takes care of it all, but that's a pretty abstinence only way to go about it, and if you don't wanna go that route, then you need to know how to remain safe and defend yourself. I was always taught how to stay safe on public transport and navigate a city and some basic self defense nd you know what, i don't feel like i was raised a warrior, i feel like i was raised to ensure safety in the environment I frequented. Idk no hate to qWil at this point cause idrc but i do love to talk about Phil characters and I really enjoy watch qPhil w/ his wee'uns :] His adventure was really cool

“It was never about the burgers, was it?” ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING. Wilbur soot the guy…. Why didn’t you let me be your editor
Anyways i like to live in my pretend world where the events of the Burger arc were actually cleared up and done properly and maybe it didn’t end in tragedy like it literally always does smiles. I miss that in between period where it was that mid-burger arc hiatus in mid 21-22 cause EVERYONE had the concepts flowing. Tntduo should’ve ended their arc(s) better. You can’t call forward the established dynamic there is between the two and heighten it to such an extreme level and then leave it to rot and have MORE CASUALTIES????? Idk. The very thing that offshooted the main chunk of season one and set everyone else’s stories up was quackity and Wilbur’s rivalry and it just really sucks not being able to see that resolved. ESPECIALLY when the two establish this care and understanding they have between one another LIKE!!!! That’s insane of you to do tbh. It’s not just because I personally like their dynamic but like it feels very imperative to have the two kiss and make up (laugh im funny) especially when they both stand for basically the same ideals (community, safety and belonging. Oh and also TOMMY. The world revolves around him cant not mention him). Plus I think if they actually worked their shit out they could be REALLY strong teammates in bringing everyone together and taking down the authority that’s plagued the smp (looking at the tommy defenders plot that never happened… also egg arc I’m so mad that didn’t get connected into the main plot like it should have)
Idk it really sucks how you can’t talk about the story and NOT talk about the planning issues that plagued everything past season 1. I feel like the isolation period was a very interesting thing to happen story-wise but once it was established that this was a permanent thing and everyone started doing solo lore it really ruined the community that these characters established and kinda fumbled like THE main theme of the entire story.
The set up is always super well done and the high points were crazy but no one here could resolve a story for shit and it’s just. Very frustrating and sad when you had thousands of fans at your fingertips giving you suggestions or plotting out how they see the story going and could’ve pulled from that.
#talking into the mic#dee es em pee#sorry for putting this on the dash I’m rambling#it won’t happen again I promise (it will)#hold on I also have to say this isn’t mentioning my gripes I have with cranboo and the guys writing choices#i still cant believe how he managed to work his way into nearly every plot then just said eh fuck it I’ll die I guess#and I get that beeduo has like. undisclosed personal issues or whatever but you guys were sooo important to the burger arc#honestly I think. I’m just sad that they didn’t put an effort to make their characters work things out#im just gonna keep adding to this when I want to complain

I think it would!
Unlike Sam/Warden and the Wilbur flavors (altho the latter also arguably has similar problems but idk enough about Wilburian internal politic) "enderboo" is always treated as to some extent a separate entity from Ranboo, ALWAYS in a way that allows the user to ignore aspects of Ranboo they don't like as not belonging to the "real" Ranboo. It is a way of flattening his decision making and avoiding reconciling his actions as those of a single agent. And, while sure, the context of a character's mindset at the time is relevant, calling Ranboo a Different Entity to denote that is just not how it works for them – it introduces a supposed notable divide that is honestly not something I'm willing to take for granted! I would say that Ranboo while in NLM is operating in a particular memory-related paradigm, and that what's more it's a specific paradigm that comes back during the burger arc, but I have never seen the Ranboo of either time period referred to as a different entity. I think there's a reason for that
What context Ranboo operates under is relevant, sure, and even the question of whether they were enderwalking can be relevant – but to frame that as The question of context, to frame it as "the cooler Ranboo" or otherwise actively different from themself, is frankly a fanon imagining that's done great damage to the perception of cRanboo in general. It does more harm than good– and for what?
It's Ranboo. It's all Ranboo. Ranboo has to reckon with their decisions and their compromises and their situations and their coercions and reconcile how he acts into a whole person and we have to do that too. This is all one system of decision making and making sense of it requires looking at all of it!!
It's Ranboo! Ranboo did that! Ranboo decided that! Ranboo prioritized that! Ranboo killed Tommy! Ranboo collaborated in some capacity with Dream! Ranboo came along w/ the Butcher Army! Ranboo defended and threatened for and excused the outpost's aggression to LNV! Ranboo yelled at Fundy for no fucking reason! Ranboo called Tommy annoying after Tommy fucking Died! Ranboo fed into the "server villains" narrative! Ranboo threatened violence multiple times when it had the opportunity! Ranboo weaponized its own suicide against Wilbur! Ranboo was a bitch to Foolish! Ranboo Ranboo Ranboo Ranboo RANBOO DID THOSE THINGS! IT DID THEM ON PURPOSE! RANBOO IS A TERRORIST RANBOO IS VICIOUS AND MEAN AND CONDESCENDING RANBOO RATIONALIZES AND LASHES OUT VERBALLY RANBOO HAS A CRUEL AND RETRIBUTIVE STREAK THAT CAN ESCALATE TO JUSTIFYING VIOLENCE. THEY HAVE SPECIFIC PRIORITIES AND WHILE PROCESSING THEIR IDEOLOGY THEY ENTERTAIN MULTIPLE NOTIONS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS AND THEY ARE ALL ENTERTAINED ! BY ! RANBOO !!! Not by the "enderwalk" or by "the enderman instincts" or by "enderboo" or by "the cooler Ranboo" or BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE ! RANBOO RANBOO RANBOO RANBOO RANBOO SAY IT WAS RANBOO
how is dream dealing with tubbo finding out about what the enderwalk’s been up to?
[COUGHING OBNOXIOUSLY] sorry who's Theenderwalk. I'm not familiar with that Dream SMP character.

Like the thing is, if Techno not knowing WAS a retcon then I'm fine with that honestly, the canon has always been kinda loose in a lot of ways and especially so early on, and it makes more sense for his character, but people keep saying that it was a retcon and then just not providing convincing evidence that it was. I just want to confirm this, alright?
I don't wanna go to the trouble of defending the choice to retcon it if it turns out it wasn't even a retcon. And I've been trying to clarify this point for over a year now without getting much out of it.
Basically what I've got so far:
1. Wilbur making some authoritarian comments the day Techno joined, which he then backpedaled on the next day
2. Techno making a comment on his first stream about how they were going to set up a new government and then he would overthrow that government, but this seemed to be OOC, just like his talk about how he needed more enemies on the server because otherwise it would be boring. It's cc!Techno talking, not c!Techno.
3. People saying they wanted to "take back L'Manburg" which does not specify whether or not it would have a government or not.
4. A bunch of people objecting to Wilbur's plan to blow up Manburg, which also doesn't automatically mean they wanted to set up a new government. I mean you guys realise that Techno is not in fact opposed to people having houses or living together, right?
5. Sam asking Techno what he would do if his comrades didn't have the same ideals as him and him responding with "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" which still doesn't mean he knew.
6. The talk with Tubbo and Quackity, which in fact is evidence that Techno was unaware of the plan to take power, and is only now finding out that there are two people in the revolution who seem to think that this is the plan. Which does not mean that the entire gang agrees with this, especially since Techno believes that Wilbur is on his side and would have told him if the entire revolution was in fact just a ploy for power, surely.
None of these examples are convincing to me.
Really all it says is that Techno was too trusting towards his supposed comrades, especially Wilbur. It doesn't require amnesia or stupidity, just too much faith in his own allies.
But maybe there is some clip out there that disproves all of this and confirms that Techno definitely knew. Idk, it's entirely possible. (I remember assuming that he knew right up until his talk with Tubbo and Quackity.) But I want to actually see it before taking people's word for it.

Cancelled-Dream Was Taken
A/N: Surprise bitch. Weren’t we expecting for me to release mcyt fanfics soon? If I didn’t tag my usual @‘s it’s because idk if you’d like to be tagged for mcyt content.
Pronouns: she/her
Word Count: 2.3k+
_________________
"You're so harsh on him!" Her hands sat on the keyboard, staring at the green human that stood on Y/n's computer screen.
She needed to be careful. While this was a heated moment, she couldn't let herself get too loud for multiple reasons. If she got too loud, Dream's stream viewers would be able to tell she was in the next room or they would just receive noise complaints from their neighbors.
"No Y/n! You're too soft on him! He needs to learn that he can't get away with everything. You're setting him up for failure." As the h/c girl listened to her roommate speak, she had to remind herself over and over again; 'This wasn't real.' Dream was mad, not Clay.
This had all been arranged as roleplay. Y/n would be leaving in a few days to go visit some of her family for a reunion, so Wilbur had been the one to think up the brilliant idea of what was playing out now; an argument between Y/n and Dream. The plan was to have Y/n get so upset she didn't log onto the SMP for the next few days, only to come back with a master plan to backstab Dream.
At first, Clay wasn't really on board with the thought of him getting angry at Y/n. They had been together for a little over a year, there wasn't a single moment they had gotten upset with one another. But surprisingly, Y/n had been the one to convince Clay it was a good idea.
The fans knew Dream and Y/n had a close friendship, Dream had always been so protective of her. But when this was going down, they didn't know how to act.
Every time Y/n would glance at her chat, she'd see thousands of comments rising up as new ones appeared. Comment after comment, it looked like the fans were shocked by the way this stream was turning out.
"I'm not setting him up for anything! He's a kid, Dream!" Y/n glanced from the chat, back at the screen showing her PC game. Standing on her screen was Dream and Tommyinnit, she had accompanied Dream to visit Tommy.
"You're just babying him! 'He's a kid!' Well, he needs to learn to grow up eventually," his voice had been filled with such spite. It felt weird to hear Clay speaking to her like this in such a tone.
For a moment, she stared at the green man before a short scoff escaped her lips. "I can't believe you." With that, Y/n had pressed a few keys, turning her character towards the nether portal a couple of yards away. Before Dream had gotten the chance to speak again, Y/n began to move away.
"Y/n! Come back here!"
She flicked a few buttons, taking a moment to look behind her character to see Dream following. Good, everything was going according to plan. Within the next few minutes, she'd be able to log off and she'd be on vacation for the next few days.
The h/c girl ignored the green man as she stepped through the portal, taking her to Minecraft's version of hell. Almost done, she just needed to find a good spot to stop as she listened to Dream continue to speak.
"You can't keep ignoring me! You know I'm right in this. You know you can't keep defending Tommy. You know Tommy is driving a wedge between us-"
Perfect. Y/n had stopped just on the edge of a bridge, molten lava sat feet below them. If she fell, she'd surely die. "No."
"No?" Dream was a bit surprised to hear Y/n cut him off, but he stayed silent as he was prepared to listen to what she had to say.
"No. No more. I don't wanna hear you blame Tommy for us breaking apart. I want you to listen to me. You've been acting like much more of a dick than usual and I hate it. I despise it. You've changed for the worst because you think you can step on everyone. At this point, everyone fears to tell you the truth-except me. I'll be a hundred percent honest with you, you've been so egotistical, it's really pissed me off. This is your fault, Dream. Not Tommy's. You exiled a child for pulling a prank on a vacation house! Not even George's real house!"
"But-"
"Shut the fuck up. I'm done, but I don't wanna hear you bullshit me. So shut the fuck up."
A moment of silence passed between them as Y/n stared at her screen. Just a few more steps.
And within seconds, Dream had pulled out his netherite sword. With one hit, she was falling back into lava. Y/n glanced at her chat, a look of shock on her face as she read over what a few comments said. A moment of silent tension had passed before Y/n had finally spoken up, removing her from the voice chat she was in.
"Alright guys, I guess that's enough for the day. I'll see you all... later." With that, she had clicked a few buttons, raiding Dream's live-stream as she ended hers.
For the next 20 to 30 minutes, Y/n knew Clay would be busy streaming. So she had decided to take a bit of time to wind down and think to herself.
Get a glass of water.
'Are the fans harassing him in his twitch chat?'
Sit down on the living room couch.
'The SMP fans were always so protective of me.'
Pet Patches.
'Was I too much when I snapped at him?'
It didn't seem like 30 minutes had passed when Clay had walked out of his streaming room, only to find Y/n on the couch with Patches in her lap. "Hey, N/n." "Oh, your stream is already over?" Y/n smiled, pulling herself out of her thoughts as she scoot over, giving Clay room to take a seat right by her.
"Yeah, did you lose track of time or something?"
"I must've. How did the chat react after I 'died'?" She smiled up at her boyfriend as he wrapped an arm over her shoulders, pulling her closer into his embrace.
"Everyone was filled with joy that you died."-Y/n playfully swatted at him. "Okay, okay! I got a few chat messages of people bashing me for it, but it's fine."
"Well, it's a good thing the chat wasn't completely littered with hate. How was it after my raid?"
"Honestly, not that bad as you expect. Like I said, just a few comments. Nothing bad, I just ignored it." Clay placed a hand on Patches's head, gently scratching her, followed by the animal beginning to purr.
"Good to hear, anyways... I'm not ready to pack. Do you think we can procrastinate?" The h/c girl let out a huff leaning against her boyfriend. "How?"
"I was thinking a bit of movie binging, cuddling, and ordering dinner?" A cheeky smile spread on her face as she spoke.
"It's like you read my mind."
The couple had made it through three movies, by now it was later at night. The sun had set and they had already door dashed some food. By now they were in the middle of watching 'The Empire Strikes Back.'
'I love you.' 'I know.'
The iconic moment between Hans and Leia had been interrupted by the sound of Clay's phone buzzing. "Why is George calling?"
"What?" Y/n was a bit curious herself. Considering the timezones, George should be asleep right now. Pausing the TV, she turned her attention to her boyfriend's phone.
"Hey Clay."
"What's up, George? Isn't it like early in the morning for you?" Clay raised a brow, moving his phone so Y/n would be able to see George as well.
"Yeah, I had to stay up to fix a YouTube video I need to get out today. I was about to go to bed and I checked Twitter-"
"Oh no." Clay made a short joke, only to be cut off by his friend.
"I don't know if it's trending for you in America, but you might as well look."
"What's going on?" He swiped up, taking him to his home screen so he could click on the little blue bird app. Y/n had grabbed her phone from the coffee table, opening up the app as well. "#Cancel Dream... #Y/n... #Dream SMP"
"Is... is Clay getting canceled for killing me in Minecraft?" Y/n scrolled through the tweets involving the hashtag 'Y/n.' She could see plenty of people defending her, but making it much bigger of a problem than it actually was.
"Oh, hey Y/n. But yeah, he is." George chuckled awkwardly, scrolling through his Twitter app as well.
"This is so fucking stupid."
"It really is. So we might as well get this cleared up with the fans as soon as possible. Do you want me to tweet something, or do you want to?" Y/n looked up at her boyfriend, it looked like he was thinking.
"Yeah, I'll tweet it. Don't worry about this, Y/n."
"Alright, whatever you say," she replied, pulling a blanket over her as she waited for Clay to finish typing his response.
"Here's what I'm gonna say: 'I can't believe you guys actually think me and @(y/n) are in an actual fight in real life. We have been good friends since forever, the fight was only roleplay. I love that you guys are so protective of Y/n, but no one's actually upset.' How's that sound?"
"I think that's good," George hummed softly.
"Yeah, I doubt you'll stay 'canceled' once you've explained to them it was all part of the SMP lore." The h/c girl smiled up at her boyfriend with a small nod.
"Alright, I'm gonna post it. George, I think you should go to bed because you're half asleep already."
Y/n turned, looking at her boyfriend's iPhone. "Go to sleep, Gogy!"
"Alright, alright... I'll talk to you guys later." The call had ended with Clay and Y/n saying goodbye to their friend while George simply yawned to them as a response.
As soon as the call was over, Clay looked at the response to his tweet. It didn't seem to be going too well. There had been a few fans who understood what was going on and responded with a paragraph as an apology for the misunderstanding. But most replies had been telling Clay he was bullshitting the fans or that he wasn't being honest.
"I'm sorry, Clay," his girlfriend had huffed as she read through the responses to his tweet.
"Honestly I'm just a bit pissed off. Literally, any time someone tries to 'cancel' me, it's over something stupid. I'm not a bad guy, it just feels like some people just don't want to see me succeed." Clay had excused himself to grab a glass of water from the kitchen.
It hurt Y/n to hear how upset her boyfriend was. He never got too upset over things, but seemed to take a small toll on him. "Hold on. Let me say something." The h/c girl couldn't be asked to post multiple tweets of her response to hate sent towards Clay over the internet. So what was better than a short video that could be posted to the blue bird app?
"Um, hey guys. I'd just like to make this quick. Stop sending hate towards Dream. The fight was roleplay and nothing more. I'm gonna be busy for the next couple of days so Wilbur thought of a good idea to help build SMP lore with me and Dream and we both agreed to the argument. Now stop sending the green man hate, or I'll commit war crimes or something-"
Y/n had been interrupted by the sound of Clay letting out a small giggle. "What? What did I say?"
"Nothing, just keep going with your video."
"Whatever, I'm cool. No matter what Dream says. Anyways, I'll speak to you all later." Y/n had hit the red button again, ending her video. Within seconds, the video had been uploaded to her Twitter account.
Placing her phone back down on the table, Y/n approached her boyfriend, wrapping her arms around his torso. "I'm really sorry about the hate, Clay. I love you."
"Don't apologize for something you can't control. I love you more." The brunette held his partner close, accepting her hug. Y/n always loved his hugs, she always felt so safe in his embrace.
The rest of the night had been spent with more cuddling and more Star Wars movies. Hours had passed before Y/n had even thought about the Twitter situation again. But for some reason, she had decided to look at the app again tonight.
It was 2 in the morning by now, Clay was half asleep. His head laid in the h/c girl's lap as she brushed a hand through his hair, her free hand opening up her Twitter app once again.
It had been a bit of a surprise to see a couple of trending hashtags had changed so quickly. What was trending now was #Dream, #Y/n,#(ship name), and #Dream's Laugh. This had to be about Y/n's short clip she posted. And by the looks of it, people had stopped acting so harsh towards Clay. But instead, they had decided to focus on the fact Dream and Y/n were hanging out together. Not to mention the fact Dream and let out a stupid little giggle because of Y/n. People had been apologizing to him through Twitter for being so hard on him.
"Babe."
"Hm?" Clay mumbled, not bothering to open his eyes.
"Pretty much everyone is apologizing to you over Twitter for being hardasses."
"Hm, that's good to hear."
"You're really tired, huh?" Y/n paused her scrolling to look down at her boyfriend.
"Yeah," He continued to mumble, followed by a short yawn.
"Alright, time for bed, babe." Y/n smiled to herself, beginning to carefully move away from Clay. "I can pack tomorrow and we can laugh over the stupid bird app tomorrow after you've gotten a good amount of sleep."
"I still can't believe Twitter tried canceling me over roleplay."
"I can't believe you got uncancelled by shippers."

I always find it so interesting that a lot of Doomsday takes desperately seek that history be considered when mourning the country. And it’s not a totally inept ideal, given how some people like Tommy and Ghostbur value memories of old and cling to them when mourning what was lost. I can see where that value lies. They have good memories there.
It’s just that, when it comes to the present, and the standings of the country now, and whether or not New L'manberg is bad, history isn’t enough.
It’s like… how we say we shouldn’t do the exact opposite. By that, I mean we hold the common belief that one’s history should not m carry too much weight when they are a good person in the present, as in they changed and are better than they were years ago and do not hold bad beliefs they held prior.
So, idk, even barring my conflicted feelings of old L’manberg, why does the cruelty of a corrupt nation not matter just because it was good at some point? Because even then, L’manberg died on Nov 16th and has not risen from its grave. The new one is a cruel mockery of the old.
Like “oh Techno and Phil should learn more about L’manberg’s beginnings to see where that value stood and what it meant them.”
And I’m sorry, but this just… it isn’t enough. Because this implies that that would matter. To them or those who hold contempt for NLM. But it does not. Because to say this is telling me that people believe that Doomsday was 100% emotionally driven, and thus the solution would fall into place if everyone just calmed down and had a moment to think back on old L'manberg. Which was not true in the slightest. There IS emotion taken into account, but we can’t dismiss there is LOGIC to Techno and Phil’s reason for Doomsday. To pretend emotion is solely at the core completely disregards a lot about these characters, their ideals and values, and their experiences and how said experiences played into those ideals.
Techno’s history with the country is complicated. He came into it in the midst of conflict. He knows very little about any good that L'manberg held. And really, with the Red Festival, the 16th, the Butcher Army, the Green Festival, Techno has had continuous bad experiences associated with the country. And his viewpoints have solely taken in a lot of the damage done at the hands of the country, such as Tommy's exile, Wilbur's own destruction, et cetra.
And he didn't feel safe with New L'manberg still kicking, thanks to the Butcher Army. He tried to talk them down, reason with them, tell them that he wanted to pacify. But they weren't listening. At this point, what else is he supposed to do? Assassinate the president? Which already happened (kinda sorta) and led to another leader coming in that was slowly corrupted by the system? Do any of us really think that NLM would be willing to talk to Technoblade with mutual respect and understanding? You may try to say "yes," but deep down, I think we know that that option was never on the table. So, feeling unsafe and seeing that government has done more harm than good for these people, Technoblade took action.
Then we have Philza, who again, there's talks of "oh, let him hear about the history of L'manberg, he'll hear them out." Except... Philza DID know about it. Or he THOUGHT he did. He has those letters, the letters that spun L'manberg's history into something more positive as opposed to the suffering it caused and the damage done. He thought things were okay with Wilbur and the country he was creating. It was why he was willing to DEFEND L’manberg on the 16th against the Withers. It was why he was willing to build back up what was destroyed. He interacted with its citizens, helped in a lot of ways that honestly, some people seem to forgot. He was a big part of New L’manberg’s beginnings. Even if he proclaimed he wasn't really a citizen, he was still very much a present figure in helping rebuild it.
It was why the gradual corruption he witnessed burned him so much. Tubbo, someone who he somewhat respected and even initially praised for his work on LMN, admitted to him that he used money from his citizens for personal gain. Fundy, his own family, bonded with him then continuously scammed him and much worse, hovered the fact he was family over Phil’s head as he and the Butcher Army raided his house. He almost DIED by Tubbo’s hand aka state violence?? He almost saw the execution his best friend, in such an unjustly, vile way. He WITNESSED ALL OF THIS. Despite trying to give it a chance, he told them that he felt his loyalty was not earned. And they failed to give him any reason to give his utmost loyalty to them. They simply provided a man, who has seen many nations fall in all of his years and seen corruption creep into every crevice, more ammo in his beliefs that "this is the right thing to do," to help those suffering at the hands of a torturous nation.
This isn't even taking into account the damage L'manberg has done to its own founders and other citizens. I won't go too deep into it, but while Doomsday was traumatizing, I refuse to pretend that L'manberg didn't hurt pretty much everyone in close proximity of it. And all of that pain, all of that trauma, all of that everything, are we really going to disregard all of that, all because "oh, no, it was good at one point, don't be mean to it now."
Why is history important when the present is so ripe with wrongness? When the country that stands is nothing like the one that they once cherished? What does blowing up this new one matter when L’manberg has been dead for so long, when most of its people had defected elsewhere and was such a negative for pretty everyone else that had remained? Memories of old that hold sentimentality aren't bad or wrong or invalid, but if memories are the only good thing they have of a current country, then... just... why let a corpse run ragged?

Maybe it’s just me idk, but I feel like Tommy’s character on the SMP is somehow the one with the best morals.
See, he definitely causes mischief, but he never intends to hurt anyone. His motive is always to have fun - both to entertain himself and others even if it means causing property damage along the way. And yeah he likes causing damage but Tommy doesn’t seem to value material possessions much (aside from objects of sentimental value), maybe cause his own stuff gets griefed/stolen all the time - so he’s self-centred, sure, but he’s never malicious.
Okay, but morals? Yeah! Tommy is incredibly loyal to his friends, he absolutely loves to talk to different people and get to know them and is quick to let them into his life and trust them. While he gets betrayed a lot, he doesn’t betray others, never going behind someone’s back for his own gain.Tommy’s not interested in power.
Tommy loves to be liked and hates to be the bad guy - he doesn’t like to admit he’s in the wrong and is slow to apologise because he gets defensive - but if he seriously has messed up he will own up to it and try to fix his mistakes even if it takes a bit of time. The griefing of George’s house distaster is a good example - he behaved badly and didn’t realise the consequences of his actions. He felt like he was being treated unfairly as he hadn’t really done anything that bad in his mind - it was just a prank that was easily fixed so how was it his fault that their were massive obsidian walls around L’Manburg, and why were all his friends against him and calling him a liability when he’d always been so loyal to L’Manburg? And he argued and tried to avoid taking the fall - but he also didn’t want someone else to be blamed as he spoke up to defend Ranboo when he was under fire. When the anger had faded and he’d calmed down, he did become apologetic and had tried to cooperate with others.
But Tommy’s also got ideals. Sometimes he tries to do what he believes is right, over what might be smart. The reason he tried to convince L’Manburg to challenge Dream wasn’t so much for selfish motives as he knew Dream was treating them all unjustly and they had to challenge injustice. Better to fight than surrender and comply with a cruel tyrant’s demands. (Tubbo was more pragmatic, thinking of what’s sensible rather than what’s right necessarily). In fact, Tommy believed Dream was in the wrong enough that he was willing to ask Technoblade for help, even though Technoblade had made it clear he had no love for the L’Manburg Government - Tommy somehow believed that he’d be able to convince him that fighting Dream was a worthy enough cause - that he was the greater evil. Tommy’s idealistic - he almost always believes in the best of people and was ready to believe that if he challenged Dream, the rest of the server would be on his side in spite of how little respect the server typically gives him.
And Tommy never gave up on Wilbur either. He was very aware of the dark path Wilbur was taking, and tried his best to convince him otherwise. When Wilbur questioned whether what they were doing was right, Tommy asked Tubbo if he thought they were better for this country over Schlatt or not. Tommy never agreed with Wilbur’s plans - but he also never abandoned him and stayed with him, trying to convince him that there was a better way, that things weren’t so bleak. Wilbur, his mentor, said let’s blow up L’Manburg and Tommy said no, we can still win it back the right way. On war day, people were discussing who the traitors were and Tommy brought it up now and then but he never seriously doubted anyone. He even trusted in Wilbur enough to make him the President, over himself. And when Wilbur chose Tubbo, Tommy clapped louder than anyone, absolutely happy for his friends. When everyone was demoralised after it was all blown up and they’d finally killed the Withers, Tommy was there to motivate everyone and bring them to the L’Mantree to talk about how L’Manburg was still alive and they wouldn’t let this be the end.
Currently in the story, Tommy’s trust in others is at an all time low, everything he’s put his faith in has disappointed him and he’s lost everything. But he hasn’t given up on his friends yet. Tommy let Dream destroy everything he had except for his pictures of Tubbo (and the prime log). Technoblade welcomed Tommy and explained how he wanted revenge and Tommy refused. He doesn’t want L’Manburg blown up, he’s angry at his friends, yes, but he also misses them and wants to make up more than anything else. He doesn’t want revenge. He just wants his music discs, a symbol of a happier time. Unlike Dream, who wants the discs in order to have control over him, Tommy wants those discs so he can listen to them with his friends.
I hope that Tommy does not allow himself to get corrupted. I hope he will continue to try and believe in using words over violence, continue to trust others and to try and seek peace while always trying to do what he believes is right. He’s still got to grow - he does need to get better at listening and respecting others, and to start seeing that his actions have consequences, but his values have always been great. That’s a big part of why I appreciate him so much and he’s my favourite character and, even though he’s never called himself a ‘hero’ that’s how others have regarded him.
#tommyinnit#analysis#meta#sorry i couldn't resist another one of my appreciation posts#unlike other character driven by ideals#tommy also does question whether the end justify the means and looks at the greater conflict at times as well as the personal conflicts#i love that he can end conflicts - he traded his discs for lmanburg freedom#he convinced sapnap to release his fish to end the pet wars#he doesn't want to release withers on lmanburg but believes getitng his discs back will end conflict#and he may look weak but he can get people on his side#dream smp

Dream SMP AU pt.3
Dream SMP Miraculous crossover pt.3. Read pt.1 for Tommy, Wilbur, Tubbo, Ranboo, Techno and Philza. Read pt.2 for Fundy, Niki, Quackity, Karl, Sapnap, Badboyhalo and Skeppy.
Dream: Listen, we’ve all seen the villain Dream fanfics but I don’t want it. I just want all the Dream SMP members fighting against one big bad. But if you want you can give Dream the butterfly miraculous instead, but in my version Dream is the dragon hero Tuatara. He is very nonchalant and laid-back but likes to tease the other heroes, especial Maine Coon or Qinling. Besides that, he is usually quiet and takes orders very well and calmly has his own inputs. Very non-confrontational and steps in during arguments to mediate the situation. He makes a lot of jokes but never actually laughs (his wheeze is too recognizable) and is known for having a very calming smile. He never actually panics in a life or death situation unless it’s someone else in danger. And If you want he can be very flirty with...
George: After receiving a miraculous, George decides to fit the role and become more confident, assertive and amicable. The holder of the cow miraculous and the hero Rathi (you can change these names, they really suck). Rarely makes an appearance but when he does he’s with Tuatara. Rathi and Tuatara are a great duo and are very popular among fans and at every interview they get asked about their relationship status. Rathi is a very confident and extroverted hero and one of the most serious out of the bunch. Gets along very well with other heroes, civilians and the media. He is a very easy person to work with and a nice person in general. At times he doesn’t think things though and makes stupid decisions. He can also pretty lazy and when he’s tired he gets grumpy and only Tuatara can talk to him. And he’d be pissed at...
Schlatt: Finally, we have our villain. This one is pretty much up to you as regards motivation and story. He can be a threathening villain like Dream Smp or not like every other SMP. The only thing that is definate is that Schlatt is Tubbo’s brother. Schlatt is the butterfly villain Hawkmoth who uses peoples negative emotions to turn them into supervillains. I would love a redemption arc where Schlatt gives up the butterfly miraculous but a new villain wielding the peacock miraculous steals it. Badboyhalo feels that he has been redeemed and gives him the goat miraculous. The redeemed villain now called Kiko acts the same as when he was a villain minus the immoral stuff. I like Schlatt and Tubbo superhero brotherly duo (can you tell I prefer Brother Schlatt over Dad Schlatt?) and this duo and the main duo would make a really good team. But if you want you can keep him as the big bad. Morally questionable like...
Jack: The holder of the dog miraculous (idk man, you can change the animal). This hero is the most conflicted. On one hand, he could be a cool and calm hero or a rebelious anti-hero. In the end, he chooses both. The hero Jack Russell (I really like this name because it’s so stupid) is an easy-going, relaxed and carefree anarchist. He always has a casual and unconcerned demeanor and at the opportunity he will absolutely will set something on fire. The most morally grey out of all the characters. If he sees something that will make everyone elses lives more difficult he will do it. He is also really smart and is always scheming against the villain with elaborate, non-sensical and overly-complicated plans. Somehow, no one sees past his dumb, lazy and obvious name because everyone is stupid with bits like ‘I’m not talking about Jack, I’m talking about Jack’. Chaotic besties with Chimera in costume and Niki out of costume. The bane of the next hero’s existence...
Sam: He sees a bunch of child superheroes and vows to fight anyone who threathens them. Razorback the hero of the turtle miraculous and is the defender of the young heroes. Badass father figure number two. While Rook is more passive, Razorback is very clear that anyone fucks with the young heroes will have to get through him. Some of the older teens gave him the nickname ‘The Warden’ because of this. He gets along very well with Rook and are two thirds of the co-parenting group. Very protective of Maine Coon and Bumble both of whom hate how he always worries about them. Basically, Sam is the onlty sane person and the only one concerned about the discovery that most of the heroes are children.
Ponk: Kinda want to go the angsty route and have Ponk lose an arm to a villain attack (post Schlatt), recover and despite everything, earn the rooster miraculous. A determained hero who is a strong believer in justice and not seeks revenge. Probably the most honourable and admirable hero. Ponk wanted a chance to fight for the right thing and was given the chance. Selkie in the most inspirationally hero, commonly appearing on interviews and going to events for motivational speechs. Because everyone is stupid, no one connects Ponk and Selkie even though they experienced the exact same thing.
Next post will feature:
Foolish
Eret
Puffy
Punz & Purpled

How do you feel about that stream my dude? C!Tubbo finally getting the opportunity to talk with and sort out his feelings towards C!Techno and C!Eret? And how C!Tubbo was so surprised that the both of them actually let him decide what happened to C!Sam, since he usually isn't actually given the call on these things, no matter how important it is in his life.
Those were literally the only two good things to really come out of that lore today.
If you're familiar with my blog then you already know exactly how I feel abt the lore today and it's not Good.
(more under the cut)
Cool, c!tubbo forgives c!eret. I thought he did already when c!eret came to save him and c!tommy during the disc finale (i feel like aside from being forgiven by c!wilbur, that was c!eret's Complete Redemption but ig not.)
and cool, c!tubbo forgives c!techno (which hhh. okay fine i can admit that it is in line with c!tubbo's character to forgive him for most things, but definitely Not for letting c!dream out of prison.)
today's stream just felt way way too scripted, like everyone was just waiting for the important shit and not addressing the smaller details. c!tommy is never mentioned by name, even though he should've considering the guy who abused him is now out of prison and c!tubbo is now friends with the guy who did it.
c!tubbo, out of everyone, should have every reason imaginable to be pissed off at c!techno, and during the stream c!sam even brings up that c!techno was the one who let c!dream out. and what happens?
it gets brushed aside, joked about. teehee it's so funny that the guy who was gonna murder c!tubbo a year ago is now free lol! -_-
there were so many opportunities for c!tubbo to Lose It at c!techno, or at least have him clearly hold some animosity towards him, for letting c!dream out. c!tubbo gives few shits about his own life anymore, but he always. ALWAYS cared about c!tommy's.
i also wonder, why the hell was c!ranboo's book, or anything involving c!ranboo, not mentioned? was c!ranboo setting off the tnt at the prison canon or not?? when watching the Dream lore video, everyone assumed it was, wtf is going on???
also why did c!sam not say anything or try to defend himself?? we are given 0 insight into why he chose to do what he did, only for it to be revealed later that it had nothing to do with the prison explosions at all.
also i feel like c!sam's punishment was a bit too much. he kidnapped a child. cool. c!dream did far, far worse and even without the knowledge of Exile, there was a Reason everyone turned against him. and now he's stuck in the prison with no way out unless someone finds out what happened to him and comes to save him.
idk like the actual good parts of the lore today just was not enough to save it, nonny. i have so many issues with it. i just feel bleh right now.

DREAM SMP Swap AU
Dream = Wilbur : Dream comes into the server to help these two kids who are trying to stir shit up -- why not, right? He's got a fondness for chaos but also very protective and caring over his friends. VERY FOND OF TUBBO. To the point of.. well, brotherhood. Wilbur = Dream : He had a vision, to create a place where people could emancipate -- he's not above being the bad guy to keep that ideal in place. He's charming and self-confident and isn't afraid to use blackmail or get all up in your business. Has dirt on everyone but Dream. Constantly threatens secrets but subtle, yanno? Again, very charming, very persuasive.
Tubbo = Tommy : Still very sweet, but Big Crime often comes out to play more often than not. Also a huge trouble magnet, tried to start a...Honey smuggling empire? For some fucking reason, despite its innocent sounding plan, is a threat to Wilbur's land but no one has any idea why. Tommy = Tubbo : Tommy has an innate fucking fixation on music discs. He's got Cat and Mellohi personally. He dreams of starting up a music cafe/music area...? He and Dream get along swimmingly, Dream actually gifts Tommy a few music discs too, but also pins Tommy with the name discount Dave Strider.
Fundy = Eret : Was convinced earlier on by Wilbur to continue his 'legacy' and ideals. Fundy further grows into a neutral party, doing things only when it benefits him. Is the traitor from the first war. Eret = Fundy : Gets far too involved with stuff and the only way out is if he wiggles through the restraints on him. Yes that's metaphorical.
JSchlatt = Technoblade : Assists through uses of contracts and business deals. Like, hello, Tubbo's Honey smuggling business? He and Dream make an agreement, he supplies Dream and Tubbo with shit, and Dream does favors for Schlatt. Technoblade = Jschlatt : Anarchy lmfao. Was actually brought on by Wilbur in secret. Acted as a benefactor for Dream before turning around and causing chaos in the land Dream Tubbo and Tommy built. Blood for the blood god, only the strongest gets to the top kind of government. There's always fucking pitfights. Oops.
Philza = Callahan : Largely uninvolved in the events, mostly just there to supervise Wilbur, Tommy and Techno. Duh. Callahan = Philza : Has personal history with Dream, tries to convince him not to do the thing that could hurt everyone else. Minimally succeeds.
Alyssa = Niki : Ready to defend her home and her family. Niki = Alyssa : Neutral, but ready to back Wilbur up if need be.
Sapnap = Bad : Arsonist, goes around and burns shit whenever he wants to. His base is a Nether inspired fortress. Also, he has to deal with a Nether problem in reference to the Red Vine problem from the original SMP. Hotlands? LMFAO Bad = Sapnap : Helps when asked. Started out on Wilbur's side, as a favor, but slowly shifts neutral due to the conflict between factions.
Karl = Skeppy : Gets held hostage? That's what preoccupies Sapnap's time. He suddenly disappeears or gets trapped in a cell. Skeppy = Karl : Runs around doing supply runs. Gets his friends into various stints to try and settle the conflict through friendly rivalry and competition. It doesn't always work.
George = Ranboo : Unlike original Ranboo, George is highly unsympathetic and needs concrete fucking facts before he acts, and that kind of backfires on him in the end. As a favor to Dream (how many favors is Dream involved in honestly) he runs messages back and forth from Tubbo to Tommy. Ranboo = George : Largely uninvolved in the conflict, like Niki, but unlike OG George, is not absent. He's just there to assist. One of the most innocent and purest people on the SMP, knows when to keep his head down. When his house burns down, he doesn't really believe its Tubbo who did it -- he knows the kid has been framed because he'd been WITH him at the time, but Wilbur pressures him to admit it.
Quackity = Punz : Wilbur's loyal paid henchman. Quackity will cause shit for the appropriate price, he's not exceptionally picky. That stunt he did as Mexican Dream was great and everyone in L'Manberg loved it. Punz = Quackity : One of the best fighters under Techno. Has more morals, but keeps them secretly. Very good at hiding his true intentions/feelings.
(sorry about the other characters not being on here, i dont know them enough to make swaps, or dont know who they'd make a good swap with. Swap who you wanna swap though! i'd like to hear your take on this matter! HEADCANONS ACCEPTED TOO AT THIS POINT EVERYTHING HERE IS FROM WHAT I REMEMBER AND MY HEADCANONS)
PLOT
-Wilbur starts the SMP with Niki, slowly invites others like Ranboo, Tommy, and Tubbo.
-Tubbo expresses a desire to Fuck Shit Up and Tommy says they can get Dream, he's an expert at getting away.
-Dream is extremely protective of them both. Tubbo more than Tommy but that's fine because Tommy is largely independent.
-Tubbo gets in the weirdest shit but Tommy can roll with the punches really quickly.
-Wilbur gets tired of their crap and burns down Tubbo's establishment. It's like the Disc Wars except it's the Great Honey War. Bee War? Basically he's tired of Tubbo hogging all the Honey related expenditures.
-Dream gets the idea to make a honey smuggling empire, as a joke, but Tubbo is Big Crime and he's going with it. Tommy just wants chaos, and he was getting bored tbh.
-Eventually the Honey thing turns into Resource management, so Tubbo Dream and Tommy have a hold on all major supplies
-Shit happens and Dream, Tubbo, Tommy, Eret, Sam, Fundy and Alyssa establish an independent nation. Dunno what to call it bc the server is called the L'manberg SMP so....
-The fight for indepencence still happens. Instead of 'Green boy' Wilbur is named 'E-boy'. Dream still says "WE HAVE NO MERCY FOR YOU" when Wil calls for a ceasefire negotiation, but Wilbur does threaten the nation saying "If there is no white flag by tomorrow, then you can kiss your sorry little arses good bye. That's my final warning."
-Turns out Fundy's been secretly funneling information to Wilbur in exchange for the safety of his friends, and also because Wilbur's his dad....uhm. Also! He and Dream are circling each other and others are like "OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE DEAD RINGERS FOR QUEERPLATONIC MATES JUST MARRY ALREADY" bc I like FundyWasTaken but others might not and its okay, we'll label it as platonic, but can be read otherwise depending on your tastes. But for this, it's very close platonic.
-Wilbur goads Tommy into a fight, as brothers do, but Tubbo steps in and Wilbur fucking jumps at the chance.
-This is the start of Dream's descent into madness. No one fucking threatens or pulls one of his friends like that. Denied. It's still subtle though, so he's okay for now.
-Tubbo and Wilbur face off. When Tubbo pulls back bc he genuinely doesn't want to hurt anyone, Wilbur takes the chance and beats him.
-Tubbo, however, makes a deal. Let their nation stand on its own, and he'll give up the Resource Empire he started. Wilbur accepts, with the condition that they unify their alliance with a...marriage? So basically, political marriage between Wilbur's heir, Fundy, and Dream, the leader of the revolution.
-YEAH I WENT THERE THIS IS VALID
-They're strained at first, but Dream and Fundy slowly mend their relationship post-betrayal.
-Fast forward a few months later. The Nation doesn't really have a leader, as per the agreement, but it does have a representative. All decisions are made via majority votes, and that decision is voiced by the rep and sub-rep, Dream and Tubbo respectively. Tommy's just there to have a good time and causes chaos as per usual.
-Enter Technoblade. He's been called in by Wilbur to...ah. Dismantle a little...nation. Sounds right up his alley. But he asks Wilbur to wait and see what happens.
-Tommy and Dream get the idea to hold a tournament to celebrate their independence, an all out brawl for everyone to kick back and relieve stress. There. That's where Techno comes in.
-He gets Punz to join him after like, being paid (ofc) and they fucking dominate the tournament. Dream's about to congratulate them but Techno turns the fuck around and declares his right to rule the nation. If anyone wants to fight him for the title, they're welcome to try.
-Dream loses another life to Techno trying and failing to fight it. He and a few others lost their first life sometime elsewhere? I guess? Probably by being blown up by Wilbur, idk.
-Tubbo and Dream are chased out by people who reluctantly follow Techno's orders, and Tommy, torn between his friends and his brothers, stays behind. Oh jeezus.
-Since Techno is a fighting GOD, no one's able to usurp him to make things turn back to normal. But Dream is smart, and knows Wilbur's 100% behind this. Fundy kind of knew but didn't do shit about it, which is why Dream rejects Fundy's offer of sanctuary. He can't be sure his husband will stay on his side, after all. It's nothing personal.
-Dream and Tubbo hide away somewhere, probably not a ravine but?? A mountain or something? They manage to get Sam away enough to ask him to build a super cool Redstone contraption thing that opens for them. ooooo.
-I'm not good at names but for the sake of jokes I'm gonna call their land the 'Bee's Knees' bc at some point Tubbo finds a fuckton of Hives hanging from Trees. Bee Mountain if Dream's feeling especially salty.
-SPEAKING OF DREAM. his insanity is on course now, it's slowly eating away at him and in fear of hurting Tubbo he's slowly distancing himself away. Tubbo's like what's wrong but Dream can't answer -- he doesn't know what's wrong with himself either.
-Tubbo and Dream need to go back and confront Techno, but they can't wait for long else Techno's going to obliterate everyone and their extra lives. They call Schlatt in.
-Schlatt's a pure business man and draws up a contract. He'll aid them in terms of supplies, but most of the revolution is on them. They agree.
-Tommy is actually really fucking good at lying and skirting around what he reveals to Dream and tubbo as a spy that Techno would have believed him if he didnt' know his brother. and Wilbur's warnings, of course. That results in Techno just being fucking done with Tommy's bullshit and plans his execution in another tournament? I guess?
-It doesn't go like the festival. First of all, Schlatt can't fight for shit, so why would Techno call him up the stage? No, Schlatt fights dirty. techno doesn't set much rules so theres no rule against poisoning Tommy quick and easy before the fight. Tommy loses another life and is on his last. Tubbo is spitting mad, but Schlatt points out that nothing in the contract covered this, so he's free to do as necessary. Tubbo is stopped by Dream who, at this point, is just overtaken by the need to one-up Techno.
-Also, Wilbur's been slowly persuading Dream to just. Let go. Let the monster inside of him free, he 'deserves it'. By the end of it all, Dream does. He snaps and lets loose the monster crying for blood inside him.
-Callahan is left to convince his old friend not to do it. In a moment of clarity, Dream stares on in horror of what he'd done. In his rage he managed to deplete ALL of Techno's lives (not really but shhhh), cause massive bloodshed, and terrified everyone in the process. He asks Callahan to kill him. Callahan does.
-Yes we'll get to Ghost Dream eventually.
-Anyway, Schlatt still does the Wither plan, because, uh, Drunken Rage. He was so stressed out from the ensuing conflict that he's like "LETS JUST FINISH THE REST OF YOU. THERE WILL BE NO CONFLICT IF YOU ARENT THERE TO FIGHT."
-and then he uses the line from the Lego movie on Tubbo like "Oh, Tubbster. It's nothing personal. It's just Business(tm)".
-Schlatt still dies of stroke. He does come back as a ghost though, that's one main difference.
-After everything's said and done, and the dust has settled, everyone decides to disband the nation, and just live their lives. like, they're done, wilbur, they get your point, jfc, let them rest.
-but uhhhh someone frames tubbo for setting fire to ranboo's (the server sweetheart) house. wilbur immediately decides to exile tubbo in 'anger'. acutally, he wants tommy and tubbo separated.
-tommy's not standing for it though, he fucking fights his way until wilbur threatens him and tubbo's like YES FINE OKAY I'LL AGREE TO BEING EXILED STOP THREATENING YOUR BROTHER
-tubbo's exile arc is not as sad as tommy's, but rather very tense because wilbur keeps riling tubbo up and taunting him. he still keeps contact with tommy though because they arent going to be separated just like that. no way. tubbo just gets a little more mad and gets short tempered like a lot.
-ranboo's not even that mad about it, he knows tubbo would never burn his house, there was a conspiracy on board and even if there wasn't he's like "arent yall overreacting its just a house, didnt you all do this like before the first war even began, what even (also, ranboo was WITH tubbo at the time of his house allegedly being set on fire. Not that he'll admit to it, because he and tubbo made that agreement long before)
-eventually he finds out that wilbur just wanted to pin the blame on tubbo to make him leave, and ranboo's like "IM DONE WITH YOUR CRAP WILLBUR STOP HURTING THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT" and leaves
-with the nation gone, people started to solidify their groups. sapnap and karl deal with their own thing, quackity still runs errands for wilbur, george is the main person ferrying messages from tubbo to tommy back and forth, etc.
-there's a funeral for dream, ofc, fundy arranged it. all of dream's shit was hidden because fundy doesnt want wilbur to get it.
-niki's still there managing her bakeshop but doubles as an informant for wilbur because she's well liked within the server
-ghost dream is present and he's a chaotic troll who mostly hangs around tommy. he's really hyper active and is always on the move, you can never catch him sitting still for like, 5 minutes
THAT"S ALL I HAVE FOR MY SMP SWAP AU PLEASE BE GENTLE I DONT HAVE TIME TO GET ALL THE FACTS STRAIGHT FROM THE OG SMP qwq

I find it funny how people say that cc!Techno is the one who's intentionally making his character the villain when he's like constantly defending c!Techno (I mean not EVERYTHING his character does, but he's pretty adamant about him having good motivations and legitimate grievances and genuinely trying to be a better person).
Meanwhile cc!Tommy seems to be doing everything he can to make his character seem as unlikable and meanspirited as possible. You can't tell me he isn't doing it on purpose, it's SO obvious. And he's EXTRA mean towards Jack and Niki, as if just to help them make the case for why their characters hate his. Like cc!Tommy is obviously such a nice guy in real life, you think he isn't very much aware of how much of a bad dude his character is being right now? Idk, to me it seems clear anyway. And this is literally what he used to do on SMP Earth.
I mean I think Wilbur tried to write Tommy's character as the hero/good guy, but when he's not following Wilbur's script he's just always causing problems on purpose. And there's only so much you can blame on trauma, at some point you're just an asshole. Trauma doesn't excuse everything.
yeah on the techno point just jsdbgjbsdgjdbg the SEVERAL times that techno on stream has called out twitters shit takes about c!techno, like both as a cc and as a character techno knows that hes not a “good guy” but hes also not evil villain incarnate
i really cant say a lot about tommy since i dont watch his pov but from an outside perspective yeah it does seem like his default rp state is like in smpearth where he just causes problems on purpose
i think its really funny with like aus where tommy is fucked up an evil like the protogee au or whatever but like... bro tommy already Is fucked up and evil and its way more interesting than the hero complex that fanon and the narrative tries to spring on him, hes morally gray and thats cool!
#yeah it did kinda feel like wilbur wrote tommy to be the hero#tho i think perhaps accidentally more than intended#Anonymous

Dsmp as Hollow Knight themes
i would make this into a video but i don't know how
featuring: my attempts at character/story/musical tone analysis! me talking about hollow knight lore way more than neccesary! spoilers for literally anything imaginable about hollow knight (literally so many spoilers) and angst :)
also here's a spotify (or youtube) playlist so you can hear the songs i'm talking about
Tommy: Dung Defender
- this is probably the most cheerful theme in the entire game, to be honest
- a very upbeat & proud battle theme
- i think it fits really well with Tommy's personality. loud and proud and optimistic and a little bit brash
- Tommy always tried to start fights, but always the lighthearted, playful kind. a clash between friends, but never with ill intent (he never wanted it to get so serious. when did it change? why did it have to?)
- i think Tommy and Ogrim would get along. Ogrim is my fave npc to talk to in hk because he is just Fun
Tubbo: Fungal Wastes
- this specific theme just makes me think Mischief
- it's just a mischief theme.
- like yes let us Set Traps and Cause Problems on Purpose
- i just. think tubbo is similar to mr. mushroom
- absolutely fucking incomprehensible
- also the wastes enemies are some of my favourites. like hehe little mushroom dudes go "wAAh!" like waluigi and also bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk-
- (also the wastes lore is just really interesting to me? like idk something about the mushroom clan and whatever the hell is goin on with mr. mushroom is intriguing to me)
Ranboo: Crystal Peak
- this is definitely not favouritism absolutely not no way
- definitely not me putting my favourite theme with my favourite character
- genuinely tho i do think it fits him
- very Mysterious and Intriguing. there are many questions here that may not ever get answered
- like with the area of Crystal Peak you don't really know what's up with the place? it kinda sticks out compared to every other area in the game. these purple/pink crystals everywhere, what are they, why are they there, what do they do? why are people so obsessed with mining it- it's not like it was used as currency. or anything else directly seen in the entire rest of the kingdom. what's the connection with the Moth Tribe and the Radiance- did they use the crystals? if so, what for? there's obviously some connection there, since Hallownest's Crown, the only shrine left dedicated to the Radiance, sits at the very top
-and ranboo's lore is very similar. mostly in that it is just one giant ass question mark. what the fuck is up with that boy
- also i think the action theme for this area fits with the enderwalk
Wilbur (specifically, Pogtopia era): Sealed Vessel
- (volume warning for the intro to this song if you haven't listened to it already)
- ok. so
- if you listen through the theme all the way through (or have seen this fight in the game)
- you can tell. this starts off as a Dramatic Villain Battle Theme
- it's very intense. very dramatic. you're fighting the Hollow Knight, the final boss (you assume)
- but then like.. halfway through
- it just gets so... sad
- because at that point in the battle the hollow knight literally starts trying to stab itself mid-fight
- because it's trying to fight back against the infection within itself. the infection that is controlling it and forcing it to fight you the player
- i just think. it kinda conveys what i saw in wilbur's character at the time. big and bad and lashing out but it's only because there's this pain inside him, this sadness and turmoil that he can't shake so his only solution is to burn everything down to the fucking ground with him inside
- and then comes the very end of the theme. the calm. the quiet. and just. it makes me imagine. Wilbur's last moments before his death. this bitter, twisted sort of peacefulness as he lays in his father's arms bleeding out. it's all gone. it's finally over. he's finally gone.
- ok. end of angst. moving on
Ghostbur: City of Tears
- i think the song title speaks for itself here
- i just think the general area in the game fits Ghostbur
- it's this quiet, empty place. it used to be a city. it used to be full of life. but now it's empty. few remain other than the husks that wander about, and even they don't truly feel whole because who can be whole when surrounded by such loneliness and despair?
- but still. those quiet few persist. they find themselves where they can in the remains of what once was
- it's sad, yes. the city is constantly crying, the rain never ceases.
- but there's a hint of hopefulness, too. that things can get better.
- i miss ghostbur :(
Philza: Truth, Beauty, and Hatred
- Philza is far more deserving of this theme than the hk character that gets it.
- i mostly just thought the song title fit with Phil
- like how Phil is so old compared to a lot of the other characters. He's seen a lot, death, betrayal, loss, fortune, light, darkness. The lens he views the world in is much different than many of the other characters because of this jadedness
- but also just hehe cool battle theme for philza :)
- very good. intense and dramatic but doesn't have the same Fight For Your Life vibe as other battle themes.
Niki: Pale Court
- i actually don't know when this theme plays in-game
- i just. listened to it once and. jesus. this theme man. actually obsessed with it tbh
- the way the theme starts out similar to the White Palace theme. calm, serene, kinda nice
- and it stays that way for a decent while!
- but slowly, gradually
- there's a slight. warp. in the tone
- a descent
- it's gradual
- but it's noticeable
- it becomes less peaceful and more
- painful?
- and then it starts to spiral further and faster
- until it's no longer the same tone at all
- now it's desperation and hurt and
- it tries to return to the same melody but it just doesn't work, it isn't the same
- there's a buildup, a burst-
- and then... calm. not quite the same as before. but maybe it's possible to be something close to it again?
- i just. hope niki is doing ok in the bear smp :( she deserves it. and also maybe some therapy.
Eggpire: Broken Vessel
- ok not a just single character here but more of a Group of Characters
- but like. the vibes
- this is just a good battle theme that feels like. like this is Danger. this is a Fight To The Death
- this is one of those boss fights in hk that to me feels like. this isn't just a random animal throwing itself mindlessly in your direction in the hopes that it hits you. this isn't a test of strength between equals. no, this is a fight. this is an enemy that is swinging its blade with full intent to kill you, specifically you, and there is direction and purpose behind each strike. if you don't fight back you aren't making it out alive. there is an infection spreading and it wants you dead.
- and the worst part is, it's using your own brethren to take you down.
- it's just. the way the vessel looks up at you one last time after you beat it in the game. that scene hurt me :(
Technoblade: Radiance
- boss fight boss fight boss fight
- for techno it was actually between this one and the theme titled Furious Gods
- i just picked this one in the end for two reasons
- firstly and mainly just because Hell Yeah Epic Boss Fight
- i don't actually have that much specific character/lore analysis for techno because for some reason his character just entirely evades my perception i do not know why (i am sorry technoblade enjoyers)
- i just think he deserves an epic boss theme
Dream: Nightmare King
- and here is the second reason i went with Radiance for techno's theme: the parallels
- both boss fights being considered probably the strongest in the game (not counting Pure Vessel) and also the only two bosses with full-screen title cards
- and both techno and dream being considered some of the strongest members of the server
- also just. Nightmare King??? you think i wouldn't immediately tie that shit to the guy literally named Dream??? the guy who i might also mention literally named half of his gear Nightmare (because he is Edgy and Cool and definitely not a complete fuckin Nerd)
- lmao. anyway. nightmare king grimm is an epic, terrifying boss fight and one i will never hope to defeat in my lifetime. i can't even beat this fucker with cheats on like what the hell
- this is a good dramatic villain theme. it just sounds cool
feel free to add on more songs/characters/thoughts as well i would like to hear them

TW- mentions ableist, jschlatt, and the r-slur
yaa let's talk about *CW* Jschlatt
now im am on the spectrum of autism so I'm only going to be talking about the ableist jokes that where made, im not going to speak for poc and if the jokes schlatt made where crossing the line.
now if you don't know schlatt most recent video had some pretty offensive stuff in it, such as a bunch of ableist jokes. first there was the fucking #autismspeaks joke, first of all autism speaks is a very shitty charity. only 1 percent of the many made goes to the autistic community so just the fact that there not educated on that pissed me off.
second the r slur joke. the r slur is a slur that was first of medical term but has been turned into a insult to mentally disabled people. and for years this slur has been normalize to say. I didn't see people taking it seriously until like 2019. so for them to make a joke about how its okay us gross to me since so many 14 yr olds still thinks its okay
what really hurts the most is jschlatt was someone I vouched for and always defended him, ik this is just a *character* but where the fuck do you cross the line. my line has crossed. I am no longer supporting jschlatt until he has apologized, which I highly doubt he will. yiu guys can call me sensitive or a snowflack but idk care. the only people keeping me int his community is sapnap, ranboo, niki, tubbo, and wilbur

hello! i would like ur 40 song wiblur playlist
anon thank you so much for asking <333 while it would’ve been easier to just drop the link i have so many thoughts about everything so i explained why every single song has its spot on this list which was IMMENSELY fun for me
(also: if anyone does want the link i can provide both apple music and spotify but if u would like the apple music link i’d rather it be through dms or an ask off anon that i can make private!)
another also: i bolded all the songs for ease of perusing if you don’t want the director’s commentary and bolded + italicized the ones that i think fit Very Well
another another also: wrote the second bit of this on my laptop and the keyboard is p funky so if there are any typos or things that do not make sense i will try to fix them asap haha
saint bernard by lincoln: this is one of those like. Dream SMP Songs that i added because it fits into so many different relationships and plot lines and arcs but i think there’s some connection to c!wlbur somewhere out there. idk i asked my friend and he said to add it so this one goes out to him
amnesia was her name by lemon demon: ghostbur song ghostbur song! mostly comes from this lovely animatic
o valencia! by the decemberists: okay this is one of those songs that only really has one lyric that fits but is an absolutely banger so it’s here anyway. you’ll also notice a trend of quasi love songs that i relate to c!wilbur’s perception of l’manburg and i think this song shows this in a really cool way, esp with the chorus (‘and i swear to the stars i’ll burn this whole city down’ is The Line)
achilles come down by gang of youths: another one of those Dream SMP Songs. i think this fits better with c!tommy but i like it too much to remove it. this is a somewhat common trend with the earlier songs on this playlist (i’ve been building this thing since january, for reference)
brave as a noun by ajj: another Dream SMP Song. i think certain verses fit better than others when it comes to wilbur’s character but that ones that work really work
harness your hopes by pavement: a song that is one here for vibes alone. i have no idea what these lyrics mean. all i know is that i heard it, thought of c!wilbur, and put it on the playlist. thank you all for being here
evelyn evelyn by evelyn evelyn: sad-ist made this a tommy and tubbo song (as she should) so it’s validity on this playlist is questionable but folks used to compare it to wilbur and tommy’s relationship during the pogtopia arc and i think some points were made there
the execution of all things by rilo kiley: i’m so excited to get here because this was the first song i put on the playlist that i think really works and i thumb nailed an animatic for the last verse and november 16th so! i think it’s a good l’manburg song and the last verse has some good ghostbur lines (‘and lately you’re all alone with nothing left but sleep/but sleep never comes to you, it’s the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak’)
i’m just your problem from adventure time: this ones a bit tricky since at is my favorite show of all time and i cannot detach this song from its in-show context very well but there is a very cool animatic with this song that landed it a spot on the playlist
man burning by josh ritter: almost became an animatic but the audio i wanted to use (which i recorded at a josh ritter concert and it’s just him and his guitar and there’s echo and it’s very haunting and pretty) has my stepbrother singing in the background and i could not edit it out so. that will probably not happen. but anyways the only hole i would pick in this song is that it’s mostly about self sabotage which isn’t really applicable but i think the imagery is cool
mamma mia by abba: here me out. here me out. this is another song that fits so well and i have spent so many hours thinking about this and somewhere there is a note on my phone explaining how every single line relates to c!wilbur’s entire arc from founding l’manburg to the resurrection (made when we thought gbur was going to get resurrected in january) and just. the metaphorical ‘you’ is l’manburg does this make any sense (another almost animatic except now that wilbur’s actually back it might become an actual animatic)
the other side of paradise by glass animals: no idea why this is here other than being a Dream SMP Song. it’s good tho
infinitesimal by mother mother: they saaaaay it stared with a big bang but they saaaaaaaay it came out of a small thing latelyyyyy i’ve been feeling like a big bang You Know
curses by the crane wives: had a thing drawn out for this song showing the comparisons between c!wilbur and c!niki because of the chorus and i think the last two lyrics of said chorus are the best thing about this one
lonely eyes by the front bottoms: gotta admit that i have no idea how this song got on here but i’ve come to associate it with ghostbur based on vibes alone. it’s a friendly song he’s a friendly ghost it works. the other tfb song coming up fits a bit better methinks
king of new orleans by better than ezra: not to put better than ezra on my c!wilbur playlist but like. something about the whole ‘tasing something up to let it fall’ motif makes me think
get me away from here, i’m dying by belle and sebastian: another almost animatic song (there’s a trend here). not only does the story told in this song work i like the lines ‘play me a song to set me free/nobody writes them like they used to so it may as well be me’ in relation to my l’manburg
montgomery forever by the front bottoms: certain bits and pieces of this song fit so well, specifically the chorus and those bits in the last two choruses Yeah (’montgomery forever and ever and ever and now they’re blowing it up/(x2)/as you started laughing and crying and trying to explain how all you want to do is leave’)
don’t look back in anger by oasis: out of all my almost animatic songs, this one got the furthest. the animatic, which I got pretty far in thumbnailing, was about wilbur and tommy and kind of drawing comparisons between their characters, also about the revolution in general. maybe i’ll finish that animatic one day idk
snow by ricky montgomery: i wish i had a link for this so bad but!! saw art on twitter!! with the lyric ‘bury me six feet in snow’!! and went ahfsdjfk!!
burning pile by mother mother: a Dream SMP Song. also a jam there’s no real specific connection for this one but i think it could fit in a couple of ways
rounds by the oh hellos: in the same position as snow except it was on tumblr..... @ whoever made this comic i saw these lyrics in your brain is massive and your art is incredible
lovely by mt. eddy: on here for vibes alone. there’s something in the lyrical content too, but my thoughts in that regard are not very fleshed out
adventures in solitude by the new pornographers: ah yes..... the song that prompted this all...... this is a beautiful and incredibly well written song and if you’re going to listen to any song off of this playlist i’d encourage you to listen to this one. it’s place of here is mostly cause of the chorus but the imagery in the verses could all represent a part of c!wilbur and i’d love to explore that more
caught in the middle by paramore: obligatory paramore song. i think it got on here because limbo = ‘middle’ but i’m not quite sure. on the verge of being deleted if i can find a better pmore song
delicate by damien rice: one of the oddest songs on this list and i am well aware that it sticks out like a sore thumb. a song that’s on here pretty much because of one lyric, which is ‘and why’d you sing hallelujah/if it means nothing to you’ which i related to both eret’s betrayal and how my l’manburg is hallelujah yknow
bang! by ajr: almost animatic song. i think we all know what the bang is here
somewhere only we know by lily allen: ik i said don’t look back in anger has the most potential to get made into an animatic but this song might actually take it place. on par with adventures in solitude in terms of how pretty of a song it is, and probably even moreso. it’s kind of turned into a ghostbur song in my head, and makes me cry like an infant child every time i hear it
a pearl by mitski: i cannot defend this song’s place on here past the line ‘it’s just that i fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended’
eight by sleeping at last: the official c!wilbur song needs a spot on here <3 if i can dig up the clip of cc!wilbur talking about this song in relation to his character i’ll add it but until then yeah <3
always by rilo kiley: no idea why this is on here but it fits well!! could not tell you why!! banger!!
celebration guns by stars: it’s a hauntingly beautiful song about war, and kind of one of those that necessarily isn’t about wilbur but moreso his place in the story? idk how to explain it but yes
passerine by the oh hellos: it’s. it’s from the . the fic. yeah h
oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet and hold the earth in place by bright eyes: added this after the real resurrection and i think it’s because fo the imagery? also the last verse
we are beautiful, we are doomed by los campesinos!: all i have to say is ‘i cannot emphasize enough that my body/is a badly designed, poorly put together vessel/harboring these diminishing, so called vital organs/i hope my heart goes first, i hope my heart goes first!’ has always made me think of pogtopia era wilbur :(
dead weight by jack stauber: no real connection other than eret played this song during a break during the ghostbur’s january ‘resurrection’ and i heard it and went :0
point me at lost lands by tired pony: gives me season on l’manburg vibes..... i love how free and passionate it sounds and that's p much the only reason it’s on this list haha
ghosting by mother mother: added this five seconds ago because i could not BELIEVE it was not on here. ghostbur song. mans sang it on that one stream with the reverb and everything. the lyrics ‘i will be kind and i’ll be sweet/if you stop staring straight through me’ hit particularly hard back when everyone thought that ghostbur was actually wilbur in disguise
#oh man. oh man#this was so fun ty anon#i'll do some spell checking after i write my english paper but for now take this#wooo boy#also if i interpreted canon wrong i do apologize i am here to have fun and think about fictional character#anon#ask

700 Friend Behind the Scene Special!
Hello there! So a little bit of back story, everything I write is written in a google doc because it automatically saves everything and I can think clearer when I’m typing in a document. Sometimes when I’m writing, I’ll get tired or get stuck or write something I don’t like. So I’ll make a note to myself of what I was writing so I can come back to it later, or write out the basic idea of what I want to happen so I can visualize it in words better, or hit enter a few times and re-write somethings. So in celebration of me hitting 700 friends I have gathered a few of those things so that I can share with you a little bit of my thought process, but also so you might have a laugh or may see where some of your favorite stories almost went. I don’t know if any of you will actually like this or actually care, but I thought that it was something cool lol. So here you go! I hope you enjoy!!!
Notes to Self/Prompts to Myself
A Dedicated and Domesticated Pig: *Note to future self so I know what I was going for. He’s making breakfast with your child on your hip. I’m thinking a daughter named something with Phil’s name maybe or maybe just a T name. Then you two are leaving for a festival in L’Manberg where Philza interacts with your daughter. And the night ends with you three cuddled up together and you’re reminiscing on how he asked you out and then it all comes full circle somehow using the words dedicated because we’re that kind of simp*
Gift of Friendship: Techno- “I made friendship bracelets”. “I don’t wear jewelry” “oh okay. I can take it back. You don’t have to wear it I’ll take it back-“ “no I will wear this until the day I die
Notes in general: There are a lot of *Insert title here* or *Insert really cool and creative title here*
There is also a lot of *Insert really nice summary here that sums everything up but is also clever*
Actually Pretty Funny: I knew I wanted to use “Tommy leave me alone” “Tommy told me you were in here crying” “That little snitch” but I didn’t know where so I made a note to use it.
What Could Have Been or Almost Was
This has a few pieces of writing but is mostly about what I almost titled the pieces you know and love.
Stolen Goods: I was about to retort but the sound of the nether portal activating cut my words off.
“We’re back!” I heard my younger brother call out. Techno and I walked together toward the portal to greet our brothers, but they weren’t alone. “Hey guys! Oh hey Dream,” I greeted the three, setting my chest down next to the wood I brought in earlier. “Hey Y/N/N? Get what we asked for?” Tommy asked, walking toward me. I simply stared at him and then looked at the pile of wood beside me. “No” I deadpanned.
I then turned to my chest and quickly put my axe away. “Then what’s that?” Tommy questioned in confusion. I rolled my eyes, closed my chest and turned to him. “What you asked for dummy” “But you just said no?” “I was being sarcastic!” I exclaimed, moving toward him and slightly pushing him. “Well I didn’t know that!” Tommy exclaimed, pushing me back. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop pushing each other.” Wilbur demanded, “Just say thank you and move on Tommy.” Tommy huffed but said, “Thank you Y/N.” “You’re welcome Tommy.”
“So is this how you four interact all the time?” Dream questioned, moving closer to the two of us. I let out a laugh and turned to the masked man, “Yeah. Pretty much. Sometimes we get along, but sometimes they get on my nerves.” I informed the man, while playfully glaring at
A Hairy Situation: I had a lot of trouble coming up with a cool title for “a Hairy Situation” . It almost was like “Braided Together” or something like that but I was like, it’s about hair. It’s a situation. It’s a Hairy Situation.
Either Lean on Me or 3am conversation I don’t remember: Tommy did something. He did something bad” Tubbo admitted. I nodded to show the young man I was listening to, “Okay,” I prompted. “Tommy was messing around and he accidentally set George’s house on fire.” My eyes widened at Tubbo’s words. “His new house?” I asked in disbelief. Tubbo nodded, staring into his cup. “Dream is pissed.” He continued. “He gave me an ultimatum. He said that either we go to war or…” Tubbo’s words died on his tongue. “Or what?” I asked, attempting to gently prompt the boy. “What’s the other option Tubbo?” “Or exile Tommy.” His words hit me like a ton of bricks.
Missing You: This fic was almost titled “Radio silence” and was almost irl and was about the day that he got that prank pulled on him where everyone in his Discord was muted and not talking to him. And I almost wrote it so you’re in that call and you are participating in the prank and he just guilt trips you so hard that you unmute and are like “I’m so sorry!”
Better Than a Dedicated Chicken was almost titled “A Funtime Festival”. But then I was like, ‘I hate that. Since it’s a sequel I want to keep a theme… Maybe something about dedication.’ and thus this was born.
Faking Happy- I almost left it on the sad ending where Sam flies away using his trident and you collapse and sob by yourself in the rain. And then I added more to it because I was sad.
Protect You was almost titled “Looking out for you” but I thought that might be too clunky and so I shorten it and stuff.
Wither or Not almost ended without the whole ‘techno goes to your house to comfort you’ scene at the end and almost ended in angst, but I was too sad to do that because I knew the next Techno piece I was writing was going to end in angst.
Not Your Fault almost was going to be a different story completely than what it became. I thought a lot about how to do it but the ways I wanted to write it and the way the anon who requested it probably wanted it but I couldn’t make the prompts fit well in the way I wanted to write it. I thought about having you be on a bridge drinking alone because you had to exile your brothers and Schlatt approaches you there and you’re like “leave me alone. I hate you” and he’s like “no you don’t” and it’s a bit angsty, but then I couldn’t figure out how to fit “I had to see you again in that”. And then I thought about having him exile you and come and see you with a “I had to see you again” but then he would know where pogtopia is and we can’t have that. So then I thought maybe you’d visit him before he gets killed but then I couldn’t figure out how to fit the prompts that way either. So I finally settled on what it became.
Chat’s a Snitch was almost titled “My New Boyfriend’s a Songwriter” and instead of being in established relationship, him seeing you sing his song would be how you two meet and he would fall in love with you and write you a song, but then that wouldn’t have really been what the request was and I didn’t want to deviate that much from the request and I think I was feeling a bit lazy that day so I wrote what it is.
Defending Family was another one I had a hard time coming up with a cool and clever title for. At one point I considered titling it “i will physically fight you”
Crossed Lines was almost called “Hold tight” because I had this idea that maybe when Dream kidnapped you he put you somewhere high and at once point you dangle over the edge, about to fall and so they scream ‘hold tight’ and yeah. I decided not to though because I wasn’t sure how I would go about putting the reader there and getting them down. But once I wrote it due to the amount of times I said “that’s crossing a line” I decided to title it crossed lines. I think this piece is actually one of my least favorites because I’m not sure if I liked how it turned out but idk man.
Totem Troubles was almost called “To Hell and Back” because in the request they wanted me to include hints of the story of Orpheus and Euridice but when I was unable to do that, I had to come up with a new title and I really had a hard time with that.
The Next Step was almost called “Come Live with Me” because I loved the musical ‘Hadestown’. At first I wanted that particular imagine to have more Techno/reader scenes, but then I had a hard time figuring out how to bring up the things and then it felt too short. Then I was like “What if he just talks to Phil about it” and boom it was written. I’m still a huge musical nerd so I titled it “The Next Step” because in a Beetlejuice song two of the main characters are thinking of making a huge step in their relationship and that line is repeated over and over so I stole it…. :). Also for this one I had to literally just take a step back and write out a full ass summary because I was having really really bad writer’s block because I had no idea what I was doing. Unfortunately I don’t have that, I wish I did because it was really funny because it was a summary of the story but it was like “And so Philza’s like bro. Dude. Just tell them” and then Techno’s like “No dad. Stay out of my business” and Philza’s like “Bro. Look around at your house. You love them”
Warming Up didn’t become the title of that piece until the very end. When I read requests I always give them a ‘working title’ that may or may no become the real title when they’re finished and ready to be posted. This one however had a title that was just a joke for myself. It was titled “The Weasel” because Y/N was weaseling her way into Techno’s home and then later his heart.
Calling Philza Dad Drabble: When you greet him though, you always greet him with a hug usually calling out from the door way, “Dad! I’m home!” Very cheesy like. And he comes around the corner and you two hug. And then after you hug, you are like “I missed you!!!” to Phil. And Phil touches his heart and is like, “That’s so nice to hear.
So you usually come over everyday. Everyday when you come over, you always shout out, “Dad! I’m home!” And he rushes out but there are days you don’t and so the next time you d
There was a time though that you had to go out of town for like a week and so you didn’t come over at all and both Techno and Philza found themselves missing you. So the day comes where you get home and you come barreling in the door. You can see Philza in the kitchen cooking something and he quickly turns to the door in shock. You simply grin at him and shout, “DAD! I’M HOME!!!” And he immediately rushed out of the kitchen and pulls you into a great big, warm hug which you instantly returned. “I missed you so so so much!” You announced as you squeeze him tightly.
Warming up working description: Y/N is dying in the snow and Philza’s like “We gotta save them!” and Techno’s like “Why is that our problem?” but helps anyway and then falls in love with Y/N…. Ya know, cliches and shit
I hope you enjoyed reading this monstrosity! Would this be something you guys are interested in seeing? Like a behind the scenes version of my writing. Like I save things like this when I write them and when I have a good chuck I post them? Up to you guys, let me know!
