I miss them...

[moonfurthetemmie]

Imagine real quick. You have spent one hundred years trying to make the world a better place. Some people say your methods aren't...ideal, but you're confident you're making a positive impact.

You have created so many new branches since you first founded your organization. There's medical research. An exceptional hospital. An orphanage. Apartments. Rehab for criminals and addicts.

Most everyone you know is here. Your friends. Maybe a few you'd think of as family, though after all this time you can't really bring yourself to get too close to anyone. Especially after them. But still.

This is your home. Your life's work. You've poured your heart and soul into this.

And now imagine, one day, somehow, it was all destroyed.

No warning. The castle that had served as your base of operations--you're home--has been turned to dust.

You know there were no survivors. Their emotions burned so brightly, and now there was an empty void. The only ones who'd survived were you, and maybe a few of the teams you sent out earlier that day.

In an instant, everything you had was ripped away. Everything.

And you know exactly who did it.

This is how Lucidity ended up losing his goddamn mind.

I was just going to have one big essay with some vaguely defined sections, but then I realized it was so ungodly long it'd probably take three years to read, so i'm going to cut it into three or four (or. maybe five?) pieces. This is part 1.

The Catalyst

It started with the resistance in JMV finding Dreamswap.

At this point in time, Nightshade and Dark have unofficially moved into the manor. Nightshade has decided helping Shale would be entertaining (also they’re gay), and Dark is trying to quietly and gently get Jade out of there (with little success, presently). The resistance is not having a good time with Jet now being part of the team.

So, after hearing a lot about JR, Peridot decided to ask Lucidity for help. Some details still need to be ironed out on my end, but she had a whole plan. Their request, a partial solution to suggest, and some way to repay him for his help.

Their potential solution was a weapon they had been working on for a while. An explosive device powered by positivity, which takes the little bit of positivity it’s given and very quickly produces more, before exploding. The explosion would be partly your typical bomb explosion, and partly a violent boom of highly concentrated positivity. A corrupt that survives the initial explosion would more than likely be killed by the positivity.

But they hadn’t been able to test it yet.

Because the only two people in the multiverse left with the Tree’s positive magic are Jade, who’s stuck in the manor, and Quartz, who’s constantly on the run and would probably rather chew her own arm off than give that away.

They may, with an incredible amount of effort on Peridot’s part, have been able to simulate a very small-scale version of it.

But, either because Peridot (a spirit) didn’t come to DreamSwap herself and saw how much magic was just sitting in the air around JR, or they didn’t realize how sensitive the prototype was, they brought it to show Lucidity, and it reacted to the ambient positivity in the area.

This ambience was a result of both Lucidity’s radiant ass living there for about a hundred years, and the positive emotions of the hundreds if not thousands of people who staff and/or live in the castle.

No human or monster can feel it, but any spirit who doesn’t live there (literally anyone except Lucidity) would notice. Immediately.

And it turned out, the weapon didn’t store a certain amount of energy before exploding. It exponentially increased the amount of positivity that it’s given. The strength and concentration of the positivity also affects the size and strength of the less magical part of the explosion.

And there was far more positivity in the air than they could’ve ever hoped to acquire in their home MV.

So…they pretty much brought a radiance nuke to JR and it went off because the air was too magical. There’s a lot of lingering positivity in the area. There will likely be severe consequences in the environment and any life in the area that wasn’t killed by the initial explosion.

It was an accident.

But they would never be able to make it right. Not in their own eyes, and especially not Lucidity’s.

Lucidity was not in JR. But he was in the same universe. He was taking Champion out. He hasn’t been able to get out much with Champ, so he’s taken the whooole day off to both relax and to spend time with his dog.

They’re close enough to the castle that they can see it. And while they’re not close enough to get hurt, they’re close enough that they can feel the shockwave from the explosion. 

Lucidity sees JR start to crumble before the shockwave reaches them. 

Lucidity is losing his shit. He’s very, very not okay. He’s in shock, grieving the loss of damn near everyone he knows, his home, and his lifelong work, and he’s fucking furious.

Lucidity doesn’t know who these people were, but he does know that they were part of an organization. The idiots who brought the weapon noticed it had been activated, and managed to run far enough that they hadn’t been vaporized in the blast. He found their clothes, several meters away from the rubble, and each had an unusual pin with a logo he’d never seen before.

There must’ve been more of them.

And this is the official start of his descent into (relatively) minor madness.

The picture has become very small :o

I drew quartz from JMV! She is ... yes, SHE is. I was very surprised when I learned that she was a girl.

Happy birthday @gallifreyan-pal!

My part of an art trade with @gallifreyan-pal!

Their @jmv-au boys figthing.

[moonfurthetemmie]

Ohh

Ohhhh

Ok so the thing is. If it’s a swap of who hates each other most of them should swap with Obsidian JSJSHSS

Most of his team hates him

Zuli’s more fearful, but if he DID swap with the bastard man….

Jade and Koroit would definitely switch though bc they do not get along JSJSHEHD

I don’t think there’s anyone Zircon doesn’t really get along with bc he’s pretty chill and Not A Dick.

A broader option could perhaps be swaps with people with Strong Feelings for each other, whether that be hate or love, or a Secret Third Thing (aka I just woke up what are strong emotions again) in which case I propose Zircon and his spouse swap, which would be an issue since we don’t even know Zicron’s Spouse’s name except @nom-de-plume-system and I decided their name is Apatite and they’re JMV’s Epic bc Cross/epic is tastee

Alternatively I am considering Mercury and Zircon swapping bc Jade/Mercury and the dynamic that Koroit and Zircon normally have, which is Koroit keeps flirting with Zircon and he is Tired but may or may not be into her also, but realistically I can’t imagine there’s strong enough feelings there for them to swap in this context

Though that would also mean Paraiba and Silver probably swap, which is fine but that seems like the easy way out. They’re the obvious ones who would swap! And then that would also leave Jasper and Mercury to swap which is ok but. Also seems like the easy way out? Plus those are the pairs Wheeze and I swapped for Swap!JMV and I wanna fuck around some!!

So mayhaps Paraiba and Jasper, bc Paraiba has a lot of energy and could probably deal with being the only mf maid in the house much better, and Silver and Mercury can swap, and if we want Paraiba and Silver can still Smoomch

If we have the cast like that then:

- Paraiba is friendly with Obsidian

- Obsidian is in the cell

- Jade probably should not be as close with Zuli as he should be

- oh god zircon’s dead

- Zuli I am so disappointed in you

- in normal JMV if Koroit caught Zuli sneaking around in his own she’d come up behind him and imitate Obsidian’s voice so this just feels like revenge and tbh that’s so funny to me

- Mercury and Jasper are playing cards on company time, as the should

Actually where’s Zuli’s brother. And what are Dot and Quartz doing.

Also how bad is this AU compared to normal JMV? Is it mainly just a position swap? Are things different?

Imagine if the characters in Dreamswap were swapped with the Characters they had a not so good/terrible relationship with.

That's the idea that sparked the Idea for DS-InvertedHatred.

More information will be posted later on. As for now, I'll be sharing who's swapping with who.

-----

Main character swap:

Dream <--> Cross

Cross (Sorrel): Pretty boy CEO of the Revolt Votary (RV) (Yes I know that an RV is a type of car. I couldn't think of a cooler name).

Dream (Helios): What is Cross? Like, the theif that punched a CEO? I'm just gonna go with that.

Ink <--> Nightmare

Nightmare (Emphialets): Sorrel's emo right hand man and assassin for the Revolt Votary.

Ink (Toner): Chaotic, short, abro man with abandoned issues and insomnia that owns a cat that's secretly a demon.

Error <--> Blue

Error (Fallacy): Chatty guy who has a lot of issues but most likely just pushes them under the rug so that he doesn't have to talk about them.

Blue (Cerulean): Flexible (literally and figuratively) man with a coffee addiction.

--------

Side characters swap:

Finch <--> Hacker (This one is most likely controversial)

Finch: Trans college drop out that has a mafia boss's son as an ex, and was framed for murder

Hacker: Captain of the Revolt Votary Military.

Bobby and Randy (Personality swap)

Bobby: The opposite of an iPad kid. A Sports kid.

Randy: Abusive dad

I think it every day.

I'm trying to draw JMV's description!!!!

In Japan,JMV is growing in popularity now. Some information has been deleted, but we love JMV, including its setup. If we get new information I will add it!

P.S Oh,sorry.Zircon is 35.

I'm done with the character commentary. I'll do the story commentary next😆

Beechswap Master Post (Will be updated with links as posts come out)

Beechswap (Formerly "Bitchswap") is an AU where characters swap based on either who hates who the most, or what we thought would be an interesting switch. With the exception of Beechswap DINTIS, in which there's only two characters to swap anyway

There's also a few OCs thrown in there. Some originated here. Some originated elsewhere. Then there's JMV Epic, who doesn't officially exist but we're epicross nerds so it was decided that Zircon's spouse should be the JMV version of Epic.

Swaps:

Zuli + Obsidian

Koroit + Jade

Zircon + Peridot

Paraiba + Jasper

Silver + Mercury

Apatite/Zircon’s spouse + Quartz, sort of

Jet + Dark

Character Nicknames:

Zuli: Lazuli [shares a post with Pine]

Obsidian: Oleander (Ollie)

Koroit: Senna

Jade: Aspen

Zircon: Hawthorn [Shares a post with Mac and Porcini]

Peridot: Willow [Shares a post with Gem, an OC entirely original to Beechswap]

Paraiba: Clove

Jasper: Peppermint (Pepper)

Silver: Magnolia (Maggie)

Mercury: Gingko

Quartz: Yucca

Apatite: Macadamia (Mac)

Amber: Pine

Peony: Porcini

Jet: Gecko [Shares a post with Boa and Ash due to how little info there is for the latter two]

Dark: Boa

Harvey (DINTIS OC): Ash

Notes:

In canon JMV, Zircon's spouse is unnamed. Apatite is *partly* an OC. They're Epic Sans but JMV. So not like, 100% original, but Epic doesn't officially exist in JMV. But we're epicross nerds so

Lazuli doesn't let anyone (except for occasionally Aspen) call him 'Zuli'.

Pine (Lazuli's brother) hasn't really swapped, he's just. there still. as Lazuli's brother. Similarly, Porcini (Hawthorn + Mac's daughter) hasn't really swapped with anyone. Unfortunately, she's still dead.

both harvey and ash are fucking assholes and I want to put them in a centrifuge for a few years (derogatory)

[moonfurthetemmie]

Inter-Dimensional Anomaly swaps (and casual name reminders)

Jet (Rayonnant) + Obsidian (Shrike)

Dark (Baroque) + Jade (Lark)

Paraiba (Eostrix) + Zuli (Starling)

Zircon (Loon) + Jasper (Thrush)

Mercury (Cassowary) + Koroit (Astrapia)

Silver (Petrel) + Quartz (Hoatzin)

Which means that Rayonnant is in charge of a team of people who come from a different multiverse.

My solution:

Pick up Kid Shrike & Lark

Pick up Kid Rayonnant & Baroque

put Shrike and Lark in the DINTIS version of Dreamtale

put Rayonnant in the JMV version of Dreamtale

Which means that Rayonnant and Baroque were born in DINTIS Dreamtale, and Shrike and Lark were born in JMV Dreamtale. But at some point, for reasons unknown (to them and me), they ended up switching places. And they know, too; the villagers were confused as hell when the guardians suddenly ‘changed’. The obvious change in the age difference probably was the first clue.

This is just kind of a general overview of how the switching thing with the spirits messed with everything else; not really any character-specific stuff

They know the names of the guardians that were in the universes they ended up in, but it’s only decades later when they meet each other do they realize that there was probably some weird transfer between the two MVs.

I always imagined Jet’s backstory from living in the village was closer to OG Nightmare, in that he tried to be nice and stuff for ages and was probably a bit of a nervous wreck for a while. But he eventually snapped and ate the apples and the rest is history. So…Rayonnant tried too. But after they ended up in the JMV version of Dreamtale, Rayonnant and Baroque experienced very different treatment compared to back in their original universe. The villagers were harsher, meaner, and were somehow even more explicit in their hatred of the negative guardian. Rayonnant gave up trying to be nice real fast and, much like Obsidian, decided they deserved to be fucked with a little. And eventually he ate the apples and so on and so on

On a different note, Shrike found himself in…a better place? Or he thought so, at first. Which made him decide to give these villagers a chance. He realized they were mostly just a lot quieter about their hate. It took several years for him to realize, though; far longer than he’s willing to admit. Because he really thought he might be able to make friends. But no.

Baroque and Lark’s main treatment changes were just confusion about the age difference change, and a change in how the villagers were pushy.

The villagers in the JMV version insinuated that Baroque would be such a bad person if he didn’t help them, and he didn’t realize for a really long time that it was them and not him being nervous.

Lark, on the other hand, was usually given a lot of ‘pleeeeeeeeeeease?? qwq’ until he gave in. even when he first got there, though, it didn’t take much.

Shrike and Lark are five years apart in age, and the Apple Incident didn’t happen until after Shrike was an adult. That means that Shrike spent more of his childhood in that other MV than Lark, so it shaped his personality more than it did Lark’s. So Shrike acts more like Jet then Lark does Dark.

Rayonnant and Baroque, however, are the same age, so their resemblance to their counterparts (obsidian and jade) is about even between them

Now, one other thing… The guardians of the magic trees that are responsible for all the emotions in their multiverses getting swapped kinda sent ripple effects through the MVs. We don’t care about anyone else from the DINTIS MV, because it was just Jet and Dark and no real characters besides them, but theoretically there’s a lot of people who switched places from where they’d have been normally.

In both multiverses, it’s especially obvious with people born after the switch happened. See: the rest of the manor and Petrel.

It’s sorta like a butterfly effect, I guess? And in this point in time, there are very few people who can imagine themselves following the paths their original versions took. The cast of the manor is mostly a bunch of outliers, though, in that most of them can easily imagine ending up in different positions when Rayonnant showed up, and several at least started down those paths.

Loon was, for a time, part of the guard in his AU. He physically can’t do it anymore, but he was.

Zuli had been training to be part of the guard in his AU, and the only reason he and Starling didn’t make it is because some evil bastard decided to kidnap them. For slightly different reasons.

Cass is more like the majority of the MV; he can’t imagine ever going to med school to be a doctor. He can get behind wanting to help people, but the time and patience and energy and money to get through med school…he’d rather get nailed by a stray fireball from Thrush.

Thrush probably doesn’t mind cooking, and he certainly doesn’t mind helping clean, but he can’t imagine being content to only do those two things forever. He’d go insane.

And it works the other way around, too; I’m sure Koroit would have a hard time imagining herself as a doctor like Astrapia. Obsidian probably couldn’t fathom why any alternate of his wouldn’t want to take over the MV.

laughs in has six different moral good variants of obsidian which outnumber all the evil ones. Unless we count the two theater kid AUs; then it’s even. But still. also lear and gonzalo don't care about world domination either they're just here to have fun and summon eldritch creatures

I'm always crazy about it😎✌️✨

JMV:by @gallifreyan-pal

[freyfall]

Don't mind me asking this since my sister keep arguing with me over jmv koroit gender. So can you tell me what are their gender? I need some proofs to show this to my sister

Koroit is a woman

[freyfall]

I would like to know the first person of each JMV member in Japanese.

It took me a moment to figure out what you were asking but this is actually a really interesting question! I think each of them would use different first-person pronouns around different people, and this is just 'in general,' so ye!

(KEEP IN MIND I AM NOT A NATIVE SPEAKER - if you're planning to actually use this and you are a native speaker, you know more than I do, so don't take this as a harsh rule.)

Jade - 私 (watashi) formally, 僕 (boku) casually

Obsidian - 俺 (ore) usually, 僕 (boku) humbly (he usually is not.)

Zuli - 自分 (jibun) formally, 僕 (boku) casually

Koroit - 私 (watashi) formally, あたし (atashi) casually, 俺 (ore) aggressively

Zircon - 自分 (jibun) formally, 僕 (boku) casually

Quartz - 僕 (boku) usually, 俺 (ore) aggressively

Paraiba - Third person/uses her own name as a personal pronoun. Occasionally, uses あたし (atashi)

Silver - 僕 (boku) formally, うち (uchi) casually

Mercury - 僕 (boku) formally, 俺 (ore) casually

[freyfall]

it’s funny how quartz exists and is actually pretty important because she has the last remaining usable positivity in the multiverse. And she’s being hunted down by Obsidian and Peridot’s gangs and she’s actively murdering people for their souls to try and find Emotions

But it seems like everyone forgets about her because she’s not in the manor and things that are near that level of Bad aren’t happening to her

and by everyone I mean me but I don’t see a lot of stuff about her in general either so

honestly i've been doing a lot of thinking about jmv and it turns out the entirety of jade's story (and thus the workings of the manor) has actually been the B plot all along

quartz is one of the ONLY characters from the original 10 that is directly involved in the A plot featuring 3 characters that i may or may not have mentioned before (peridot i have, but idk about scorch and grey) who are the main focus of a wholeass rebellion vs obsidian's regime. she has the vials, which the rebellion is actively working to collect, and other than that, no other characters besides obsidian and koroit even have contact w/the rebellion.

as for not seeing much about her thats literally just cause i havent done much with jmv in general for a while now lmao

[freyfall]

OH , Tobin , did you delete the jmv blog to redo it ? Yes ...? And before I forget . Can you specify the age of the jmv characters ? I just noticed that you didn't write them, for what reason . (´・ω・)

ahhh yeah i was like... theres so much wrong info on there and i dont want to just leave that up. so i just deleted it LMAO. i wanted to coalesce it into my main blog anyways.

As for the character ages:

Jade - 139

Obsidian - 134

Zuli - 32

Koroit - 28

Zircon - 35

Paraiba - 27

Silver - 25

Quartz - 29

Jasper - 22

Mercury - 35
