[ambiguousgrass]

So today I reread the wilbur van. Here's some my favorite bits :thumbsup: (more under the cut)

i want to dissect these literature class style

[jjkyaoi]

*SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE* FOUND FAMILY

• it’d been a couple days after dream had been imprisoned that puffy & tommy spoke? tommy had been walking to the prison w/ sam to visit dream for the second time, when puffy had ran up & decided she’d want to tag along. it was half because she wanted to see her son again—was he even her son anymore?—but it was mostly because she didn’t want tommy to go alone; she didn’t know tommys history w/ dream, but she didn’t trust dream alone w/ him, even if he used to be her duckling.

TOMMY, walking by sam’s side: so, how’s dream been holding up in prison?

SAM; he’s been doing fine —

PUFFY, running at them at full speed; I WOULD LIKE TO COME WITH—

• and ever since then, it’s been a routine for them to both visit dream in the prison. it’d been sort of awkward at first, but eventually the two of them just got into the habit of goofing around whenever they entered the prison; they wouldn’t take anything seriously & most of the time they’d spend in there would just be tormenting sam and seeing how loud they could yell in the prison so their voice would echo.

PUFFY: hey, tommy. hey—hey tommy, look

TOMMY: what?

PUFFY, copying sam’s stance & scowling: i’m sam and i’m a big angry prison warden look at me snarl grrrr

SAM; that Isn’t funny—

• eventually puffy just got into the habit of following sam & tommy around wherever they went. wherever they’d go or whatever they’d do she’d always be trailing behind.

• tommy doesn’t know this, but whenever he’s talking w/ anybody else he’s always got puffy & sam standing behind him threateningly. he could be conversing w/ literally anyone, & regardless if they’re a threat puffy & sam would just be behind him holding a giant sledgehammer.

TOMMY, talking to anyone: yeah, and then i said—

PUFFY & SAM, directly behind him: :]

• whenever tommy doesn’t feel like walking anymore, he’d always hop onto sam’s back. at first when he tried to do it they both crumbled to the ground, but eventually it’s just something they both knew how to do by days of practice, & it’s eventually something they both did randomly. if tommy didn’t want to be in a situation, sam would appear and he’d pick tommy up & he’d carry him away; if tommy was tired, he’d pick him up and carry him away, if tommy was angry, he’d pick him up & he’d carry him away.

• puffy got into the habit of training him, as well. he’d always been awed at the way she could fight, & she eventually decided that she’d just go ahead and train the kid if he was so curious. so, in the days where he wasn’t busy w/ hotelinnit, she’d just be training him. he wasn’t very good at most things, & he’d constantly be falling over his ass, but whenever he got frustrated she’d always let him win just to boost his ego.

TOMMY: i cant understand why i’m not winning, it’s not—it shouldn’t be that hard???

PUFFY, immediately collapsing on the ground; ah, you’ve defeated me.

TOMMY: wh..

TOMMY: i didn’t even hit you??

PUFFY: i’m dead. pray for me.

• eret also joins their little squad, even if it’s later on. they immediately take up the role of the elder sibling in tommys life, when they aren’t busy w/ their own things. tommy’s favorite thing to do w/ them is make little paper crowns & put them on his head, exclaiming that ‘they match!’ eret’s heart always melts whenever he sees that.

TOMMY, with a paper crown on his head; look, eret, now we’re both kings!

ERET, on the verge of tears: mhm :]

• sam & puffy both don’t like phil. they dont know much about tommy’s relationship w/ him, but they’ve noticed the way tommy’s face always seems to dim whenever he’s talking about him, and the way he doesn’t really speak to him as if he’s his dad? so they’ve both got into this silent agreement that they don’t want phil & tommy to interact, for the betterment of tommy. aka they’re both c!phil anti’s

TOMMY: puffy?

PUFFY: yeah?

TOMMY: do you think—,,... do you think ranboo’s better than me? i mean, do you think he’s nicer than me?

PUFFY: ...

SAM: where’s this coming from?

TOMMY: i don’t—i don’t know. i mean, phil & techno seem to like him a lot, and he’s living with them now, so i assume that he’s— i assume that he’s better than me?

TOMMY: i mean it isn’t like i care, because i don’t. and like i’m fine that he’s happy— i’m fine that they’re happy, it’s just that... they replaced me so fast, and i don’t—

TOMMY: did i ever really matter to them?

SAM; tommy...

PUFFY: well.

PUFFY: it doesn’t matter if you don’t matter to them, because you matter to us.

• after a couple weeks of hanging out w/ puffy and sam, he’d gotten into the habit of referring to them as “mom” and “dad” when they aren’t around. most of the time it’s towards tubbo, and it’s mostly just something he says w/o thinking about it? when he’d first done it he’d shut down for like a solid couple minutes.

TOMMY; anyway, so mom sent me—

TUBBO: mom?

TOMMY: ?

TUBBO: you just referred to puffy as your mom.

TOMMY:

• whenever tommy doubts visiting him in the prison, or gets nervous about talking to him again, puffy & sam always have him sit down for a little bit so they can encourage him. they’re always really gentle w/ him, and they always say he doesn’t have to if he doesn’t want to, but they try their best to encourage him when he’s like that.

• whenever tommy’s feeling down about logstedshire, as well, puffy & sam always have this routine;

PUFFY, pointing to this; what’s this?

TOMMY; my— that’s my arm?

PUFFY: mhm. and what’s this? *pointing to his leg*

TOMMY: my. ... leg?

SAM, putting his hand on tommy’s chest; and what’s this?

TOMMY: my heartbeat — i’m sorry, what’s the point of this?

SAM; it’s to prove that you lived through it.

PUFFY; logstedshire? it isn’t so scary, when you think about it. the person who made it scary is gone; and you’re here.

SAM: you’re still here, that’s all that matters.

• they’re both so extremely petty whenever they talk to phil. they both always loudly exclaim “MY SON” or “MY TOMMY” whenever they’re talking about tommy, just to rub it in phil’s face that tommy likes them better then he likes him. tommy’s always confused whenever he’s talking to phil & sam and puffy come running at them at full yelling things like ‘MY SON’

TOMMY: anyway, so i was saying, phil—

PUFFY, coming up behind TOMMY and giving him a backhug: hello my son :]

TOMMY: um— hi?

PHIL: ...?

SAM, also appearing and giving tommy a flower crown; i hope you like this, MY SON, i picked this out for you. it’s red. your favorite color

TOMMY: um.

PUFFY, glaring daggers at phil over tommys shoulder; have a good day MY SON.

• tommy doesn’t like anyone talking badly about sam or puffy, ever. even if it’s a joke, it doesn’t matter to him; if the slightest negative sentence is uttered about either of them he’s immediately got full armor on & rapidly flying towards them w/ his trident while violently screaming “WHAT’D YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOM AND DAD”

QUACKITY, jokingly: sam’s so weird—

TOMMY, immediately pointing an axe towards his throat; say that again and you die.

• also, tommy isn’t used to be handled w/ such,,,.. care? so, whenever sam or puffy are nice to him he’s always like “thank?? you??” he doesn’t understand why they’re being so kind—why they constantly give him random gifts just because they want to, and not because it’s out of pity. he’s constantly confused on why they’re nice to him w/o an alterior motive, and they have to tell him that it’s because they like him, not because they want something out of him.

TOMMY: puffy, why’re you— why’re you hugging me?

PUFFY, burying her face in his chest; it’s a sign of affection, dingus. it’s a hug.

TOMMY: yeah, okay, but... why?

PUFFY; because i care about you.

TOMMY: why—

SAM, ruffling tommy’s hair; just shut up & accept the hug.

[corysmiles]

Imagining the scene where ranboo saves Tommy from the lionwolves like he just has consigned himself to his death and just as he thinks it’s all over a HUGE dark shadow comes over him and he hears the animals screech and run, ranboo silently picks Tommy up by his shirt between his teeth and Tommy is too messed up to even attempt to comprehend it so he silently lets it happen thru tears. They make it back to the cave and ranboo delicately sets him down near tubbo and starts to lick and then start getting random pieces of fabric to wrap Tommy’s wounds and Tommy after a long silence is like.... why are you still being kind to me???? And ranboo sits there completely confused until he’s just like “we’re friends” and he carefully brings Tommy to where Michael and tubbo are and curls up around the 3. And it finally clicks in Tommy’s head like. Oh okay ranboo is an okay dude I will allow it -🌻

Tossed to the Wolves

Friendly Giant Au

I hope it’s okay that I left out the mouth stuff but yes Tommy would be extremely confused

Also this is a continuation of this post :] and it’s WAY before caught (again) in the timeline

cw//language

————————————

Tommy sprinted through the trees. Branches snapped all around him catching on his shoes and ripping his pants, but he couldn’t stop. Behind him loud growls and the harsh rhythm of paws chased after him.

Trying to escape, Tommy frantically dug his hands into the side of a nearby tree. The bark ripped into his skin drawing small pricks of blood, but the roaring of the beasts kept him going.

Branch by branch he scaled up the tree until the wind became so cold it stung his face. Their barking didn’t stop though and when he looked down the pack of agitated lionwolves were scratching and circling around the base of the tree. One large one in particular jumped up and tried to climb up to get him.

“Fuck,” Tommy exhaled. He glanced around him at the endless ocean of branches and leaves. The mild greens and soothing bird calls would have been calming if not for the situation below.

Above him through the trees he could see the twinkling of stars against the black sky. And just barely he could still see the smoke from his home.

After almost an hour Tommy felt exhausted. His hands had started to sting now that the adrenaline had worn off, and the cold wind was becoming more and more uncomfortable. Carefully he leaned over to glance down at the ground and sure enough the lionwolves were still there, sleeping piled up over the tree’s roots.

Maybe he could get down if he was careful, he thought. So step by step, being extremely careful to be quiet, he climbed back down the tree. When the warm air from below touched his frozen skin he had to hold back a sigh.

However, Tommy was only a few feet away from the ground when everything went wrong. He stepped down onto the next branch and a loud snap echoed around him. The glowing yellow eyes of the lionwolves snapped open and within moments he was slammed onto the ground by massive paws.

Sharp claws tore into his clothes and ripped at his skin while he desperately tried to hit them away. Giant teeth crunched into his arm making him shriek out in pain, and he felt darkness close in on his vision.

“Help!” he screamed as teeth dug into his legs, tearing at the skin, “Help please help!”

Then as suddenly as it started the monsters bolted. Tommy whimpered as a shadow loomed overtop of him and a much more gentle weight touched his body.

“No no please!” he cried. Terrified, he wrapped his arms around his head to protect himself.

“Hey hey it’s okay,” a familiar voice whispered to him, “Oh god Tommy.”

Tommy flinched away from the touch and tried to escape as he felt himself be lifted up. The warm pressure against his wounds felt like fire.

“Hey shh it’s okay,” the voice whispered again.

Tommy cracked open one of his eyes and was met by Ranboo’s worried gaze. He was only a couple inches away from the giant’s face and he watched with fascination as Ranboo’s ears flicked up and down in concern.

“Ranboo?”

A small hum left Ranboo’s lips and Tommy felt the giant start to move. The hands around him were carefully avoiding his injuries and one of his large thumbs softly rubbed against his hair.

When they finally got into the den Tommy felt completely dazed. The combination of the gentle rocking and blood loss was lulling him to sleep, but every time he shut his eyes Ranboo would poke him.

“Stop... lemme sleep,” he groaned.

“Nope,” Ranboo said quickly, “Stay up, please.”

Tommy grumbled and leaned into the side of Ranboo’s palm. He wanted to sleep so bad.

“Tommy!” he heard someone call from below- it was Tubbo.

Tommy yawned, “Hmmm Tubbo?”

Slowly he felt himself get moved again and then Tubbo was right in front of him. His brother looked terrified as he stared at Tommy’s injuries.

“Holy shit what happened?” Tubbo asked.

“Lionwolves,” Ranboo muttered after a second, “Can you please get some water and bandages? He needs them.”

Tommy could barely keep his eyes open as he felt himself get shifted around more. At one point water was forced down his throat and he had to resist a painful cough. The voices of Ranboo and his brother wavered in and out of his consciousness, begging him to stay awake.

When he finally was able to open his eyes again he was lying on something warm and soft. He cuddled closer to it and noticed that his leg and arm were both wrapped up with clean white bandages. It still hurt but it felt considerably better than it had before.

“Tommy?” A voice whispered, “Are you up?”

Tommy looked to the voice and was met by Ranboo’s tired eyes staring back at him. The soft thing he was laying on was Ranboo’s chest, and the green fabric of Ranboo’s cloak rested over top of him.

“Yeah I’m up,” Tommy grumbled, rubbing his eyes, “Thank you by the way...for saving me and shit.”

Ranboo hummed and gently ran a finger over Tommy’s back. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I? We thought you were uh...we thought it was serious.”

“Yeah Tubbo would have lost his shit if I died to some fucking dogs” Tommy laughed weakly.

Ranboo frowned, “I would’ve cared too, I wasn’t just going to let you die Tommy.”

“Don’t gotta be pretending Boob,” Tommy scoffed, “I know you saved me cause of Tubbo.”

Slowly a giant hand shifted Tommy upwards so that he was face to face with the giant.

Ranboo’s ears twitched back in concern, “Youre my friend Tommy...I know you don’t trust me but, I think of you as a friend.”

Tommy squinted at Ranboo but only found sincerity on the giant’s face. He was a good liar...

Tommy’s mouth opened to argue before he was pulled up under the giant’s chin. All around him he felt the gentle vibrations of Ranboo purring.

“I care about you Tommy,” he whispered, “I know you dont, but I do.”

“...you do?” Tommy whispered after a moment.

All he got in response was a soft hum before he was pushed even closer to Ranboo. It wasn’t long before he fell asleep to the soft sound of the giant’s heartbeat under him.

Tommy collapsed on his knees and a line of spit with blood infused with it slid down his chin. He put his hands in the snow and it quickly turned red, flowing down away from his hands. His bloody spit dripped off his chin and onto the snow. Tommy could barely see through his blurred eyes, with tears running down his cheeks and distorting his sight. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth partially, letting the blood drip out of his mouth. His hands began to grow numb, as did his knees. He let himself fall on his side in the snow, and kept his eyes closed. He felt like he couldn't take another step, and he wouldn't. He refused. Tommy just laid on his side in the snow, blood running off him and discoloring all the snow around him. The cold and the wetness of the snow was very slowly soaking into his clothes, turning them damp. It was irritating to Tommy but he felt too much pain to want to even TRY and get up. He pulled his hands to his chest, and relaxed a little as he accepted that he might die here. It wouldn't be too bad, there were many notes he left for Phil, Techno, and Wilbur. There was even one for Ranboo. Tommy felt like it wouldn't be too bad to leave them like this. Especially since they already had prewritten notes. He figured that they would be okay, but.... they unfortunately wouldn't.

Meanwhile, as Tommy was bleeding out, Technoblade was cleaning up the house. He was getting it ready and making more room for Phil. Especially since Phil would be coming home soon and Techno was excited for him to rejoin the house. As Technoblade was sweeping the dirt out his front door he accidentally bumped the bookshelf by the door. It rattled for a few seconds and he dropped the broom to grab it, in attempts to prevent any possibility of a fall. It settled down as 4 large envelopes fell off the top of it, and hit Techno before hitting the floor. He looked down at them, letting go of the shelf, and then crouched to grab them. One had his name, the other had Phil's name, another had Wilbur's name, and the last one had Ranboo's name. The hand writing was clearly Tommy's, and it set alarms off in Techno's head. He never actually SEEN Tommy write a letter. EVER. So he set the 3 that didn't belong to him on the table before gently opening his. Technoblade gently unfolded the paper and it was clear that Tommy actually tried to write neatly. Which was a little odd since Tommy just scribbled things down and didn't care about what he wrote.

"If you're reading this then I'm probably dead....?"

The opening line threw him off rather quickly, and it only took him a few seconds to realize he didn't know where Tommy was. Technoblade stuffed the note in his pocket before grabbing his cloak and throwing it around his shoulders. He grabbed a shovel and left the house quickly, shutting the door behind him. Snow was falling heavily and Technoblade was unsure if he would actually be able fo find him through the thick snow. He held onto hope as he pushed forward. The wind was bone chilling, and he couldn't begin to imagine how cold Tommy was right now. In the distance he could see a very odd shape moving through the snow towards him. As he got closer he figured out ot was someone carrying something. Technoblade powered through the snow, jogging the best he could to reach the figure quickly.

"I-i dont know what happened! I just found him like this! Help him please?!"

Ranboo was a little emotional, especially since he knew everything Tommy had been through. Ranboo grew watching how Tommy was treated, and what others did to him. So it hurt him physically when he found Tommy laying in the snow with blood dripping off him. Technoblade quickly took Tommy from Ranboo, holding him gently as he could. Tommy was clearly unconscious and for a second Techno thought he was dead.

"Don't you have potions you can give to him so he heals?! Help him! Why are you just standing there?!?!"

Ranboo had grown to not exactly be afraid of Technoblade, even though he was extremely over powered. Techno could kill Ranboo in 2 seconds if he really wanted to, but how Tommy reacted to Ranboo he wouldn't. It was clear Ranboo was a great friend to Tommy, and Techno wouldn't kill him. Unless he had no other choice of course.

"Okay. Okay it'll be okay. I can fix this."

Technoblade was talking more to himself than Tommy or Ranboo, but he wasn't sure he actually believed himself. It was said for more of a comfort thing as Techno carried Tommy back towards home. Tommy remained motionless in Techno's arms, and the blood loss made him look extremely pale. Technoblade was afraid that he wouldn't make it, especially with how pale he was. Ranboo followed Technoblade quickly and even opened the front door for him. Technoblade entered carefully and gently laid Tommy on his own bed. He couldn't be bothered to carry Tommy down to his own room. Ranboo shut the front door and threw some coal in the fireplace to warm the house quickly.

"W-what do you want me to do?"

"Stay out of my way."

"Techno! I-i can help!"

Techno growled at him, looking up slightly since he was taller. Ranboo grabbed Techno's tusks and pushed his head away quickly with force. Ranboo didn't like being cornered even if he was being cornered by the person that could kill him in the blink of an eye.

"I can help. I promise I won't hurt him."

Ranboo's voice was loud and it held no lies, and Technoblade realxed slightly. He let Ranboo in, nodding at the chest hanging on the wall. Ranboo quickly walked over to it and opened it, searching for anything useful in it. Technoblade gently pulled Tommy's armor off and then his shirt and pants. He looked him over gently trying to find the wounds that the blood had come from. Ranboo reached Techno's side and handed him a cold wet rag. Technoblade gently took it from him and began wiping the blood off Tommy's body. Tommy shivered slightly, and Techno gently wrapped them up with bandages. After Tommy's wounds were wrapped up Technoblade covered him with the blanket, and gently put his wrist on Tommy's forehead. Tommy felt pretty warm, but then again the fireplace in the house was raging. Ranboo disappeared for a few minutes but returned soon enough with a regeneration potion. Unfortunately Tommy was unconscious though and Techno didn't want to force him to drink. As a precaution! Tommy could choke and possibly drown if Techno just poured the potion in his mouth. So instead Techno set it on the bed side table and kneeled next to the bed. He kept his hand on Tommy's wrist, gently, just in case he woke up any time soon.

"Go get Phil."

"Okay!"

Ranboo left the house quickly, making sure to shut the door behind him. Technoblade looked down at Tommy and sighed, looking him over slowly. Techno closed his eyes and gently grabbed Tommy's hand with both of his. He stayed kneeling next to the bed as he gently held Tommy's hand. He kept his eyes closed and mentally counted as he listened to Tommy's breathing. Techno wanted to make sure he had no problems breathing and it was normal. For now, it was. Thankfully.

Ranboo shoveled the snow out of the doorway and Phil opened the door quickly. Technoblade was kneeling next to his bed where Tommy laid, partially conscious. Techno was fast asleep, holding Tommy's hand. With Tommy's free hand he rose it to his lips to shush them, not wanting to bother his older brother. Techno hadn't been getting much sleep lately, and despite Tommy in serious pain he wanted Techno to sleep. Ranboo shut the door quietly and Phil kneeled down next to Techno. Tommy smiled the best he could at Phil but it was evident that he was in serious pain. Phil got up and walked over to Ranboo, whispering in an attempt to not wake Techno.

"You collect sweet berries and I will collect snow."

Phil handed Ranboo a bucket and then picked up a bucket for himself before leaving through the front door. Techno's ears twitched at the sound of the door closing and he sat up slowly. Tommy wanted to act like he was still unconscious but he was in too much pain to do so. Techno sat up quicker and looked Tommy over to see his bandages were stained red. Techno shifted and let go of Tommy's hand, checking around for any water.

"It's okay. How did you sleep?"

Tommy's voice was hoarse and quiet, but Techno had extremely good hearing. Techno grabbed the glass of water and gently tried getting Tommy to sit up. Unfortunately Tommy was in too much pain and hissed, making Techno stop and jump back. Tommy laid back down and grabbed the glass of water, nearly pouring it out on himself as he tried to drink it. It was very clear that Tommy wasn't gonna make it and Techno's chest tightened as he realized that.

"Techno."

"Yes Tommy?"

"Just one hug before i-"

"Don't."

Technoblade didn't want to hear his little brother openly accept his fate. He lightly sat on the floor and gently pulled Tommy into his lap, making sure to hug him softly. Tommy winced in pain but leaned against him, happy to finally have a hug from his older brother. They usually just argued, wrestled, and fought with each other about everything. They never actually hugged before, but it was Tommy's dying wish. He wanted a hug before he actually disappeared. Tommy closed his eyes and Techno wrapped his cloak around the both of them. Techno's chest felt tight and his throat felt like it had a lump the size of a golf ball in it.

"Tommy..."

"I'll still be around, like Wilbur. But only here with you."

"Tommy I promise I will get revenge! I will slaughter everyo-"

"Shhhhhhh."

Tommy could hear the pain slightly escaping out through Techno's voice and it hurt him. He didn't want to hear his older brother hurt with his last dying minutes. He just wanted to cherrish the moment between them, and wanted a happy moment before he actually died. Technoblade gently put his hand on Tommy's back and let out a slow sigh. Tommy had already planned staying with Techno, even after his life was over. Technoblade remembered the letter and gently pulled it out of his pocket. He uncrumpled it and folded it gently so he could actually read it.

Ranboo had filled his bucket with sweet berries and Phil had his full of snow. They both walked back to the house as quick as the snow would let them. Ranboo opened the door for Phil but dropped the bucket of berries and froze. Phil expected the worse, dropping the snow bucket and entering the house quickly. Technoblade was on the floor with Tommy in his arms as Techno's cloak was draped over both of them. There was a ball of paper by Techno's knee and tears were sliding down his face effortlessly. Techno had a tight grip on the cloak and he sat there silently with his jaw clenched hard. You would almost think he's trying to crack a walnut with how hard his jaw was clenched.

"Techno.... is he-"

"Tommy?"

Phil stumbled slightly before his legs locked in place. Ranboo's whole body was ridged as he stared at Tommy's lifeless body. It was like a nightmare come true and none of them wanted to believe he was really gone. Although Techno was already set in his ways and his mind was focused on one thing. Revenge. Techno was on a dead set goal to slaughter every single person that ever hurt Tommy and especially whoever did this to him. He wasn't gonna rest until everyone paid their price.

"Techn-"

"No mercy."

Phil knew with those two words there would be no changing his mind. Although Phil didn't really care, because he had just close another son. He felt the same at Techno, but he wasn't as violently motivated as him. Phil wouldn't be the one to attack first but he would infact help Techno. Especially now. Phil and Techno looked at Ranboo slowly, making him feel the stare of hatred and pressure. Ranboo pulled his sword out of it's sheath and choked down the hard lump in his throat.

"For Tommy."

So it was settled. Everyone would go down in flames, and pools of blood without a shed of mercy cor their souls. All for Tommy.

hi mare! hope you're doin well! i genuinely had no idea that today was tuesday, i literally woke up this morning and realized i didn't know what day it was (though i decided to not try and figure it out). that being said, it was quite nice to find out that it was a cough syrup tuesday.

okay first off, title for this chapter? fucking immaculate, i saw it and got so excited you have no idea. i just really like the song, it's on my cranboo playlist

starting off the chapter with dream and my thoughts reading that short bit of text are just "fuck you fuck you i hope you die you piece of shit bastard" and honestly i feel like that means you've absolutely done a great job with making cs!dream accurately terrible and bad! /pos im looking forward to seeing where this all goes (but i also want him to be killed :D )

the conversation about religion was so so interesting. growing up agnostic its always fascinating to me how different writers have their characters talk about religion and their beliefs, especially if they have contrasting perspectives and ideas. its something i dont think i'll ever get tired of hearing about, and the respective takes on religion for their characters i think are really fitting.

yooooooo cs!bench playing wii sports finally????? holy shit im so excited for that

also i love the way you write tommy its just so accurate and i smile every time he comes up cause like. that's one of my boys <3 hes fucked up and annoying and way too loud but he's also sort of endearing and cares so much for people. i love him dearly

"Ranboo wonders, idly, if Tubbo will ever become the sky to him, someday."

this line. irl i literally covered my mouth with my hand, fully turned off my phone screen, and laid down on my bed with my face in my hands. like genuinely had to take a moment to process. anyway i'm writing this as i read the fic and as of right now it's my favorite line and i know that there are so many other good ones but just for the sheer effect this had on my current emotional state (/pos dw) i'm calling it my favorite

"His eyes catch the moon, and, for the strangest reason, he feels a twinge of sadness in him. There's something about the moon when it's in crescent- waning today, he believes- that reminds him of memories he can't capture. A sense of absent longing, some kind of attachment to the crescent moon. He wishes he could remember more. He wishes the pieces he has of his childhood weren't fickle, and weren't simple things like playing piano, or stargazing, or having blackberries."

okay so right after that line i just said was my favorite you went ahead and wrote a whole paragraph that i deeply resonate with. what the fuck dude i literally cannot keep reading these chapters and going "oh this is my favorite line/scene!" and then proceed to copy and paste close to the entirety of the goddamn chapter into my little notes here. i simply cannot. but honestly i think its just going to keep happening anyway.

"Is it worth sacrificing his own memory to be loved?"

FUCKKK ohmt god ohh my god jsgfsddfdds

their little stargazing call :(( i care about them so much

manifesting more stargazing content <- this wont work but one can dream

"But Tubbo still listens. He may not understand, but he listens.

And Ranboo would like to believe that's enough."

!!!!!!!!!!!! FNFGFDFHDFGDGFGGFJK

i think there's something about reading this fic with each chapter update that makes me exhibit mentally ill behavior but i genuinely think that that just means its a really great fic

i really loved this chapter, i think its probably my favorite so far. i think i say that often but i honestly cant remember. i just really enjoy your characterization of ranboo in this. i feel like the more i learn about him the more i learn about myself if that makes sense? the way that you talk about how he feels about the world and his existence in it is something that i can never put words to for myself, but i often discover that i'm able to find those words after a little bit of thinking when i read his (or even sometimes tubbo's) perspective. its a funny thing, figuring out how to talk about your own thoughts through other people's interpretations of fictional characters. it all just seems kinda silly, y'know? i think it's just that it can be easier seeing someone else come up with the words for the things you're trying to describe for yourself sometimes. written media has always been my favorite for that reason.

the imagery was beautiful too, i really enjoyed it. i always enjoy everything about your writing honestly, but i know you're fully aware of that. you're just very good at what you do, you know?

anyway i'm looking forward to the next chapter! i know you said that the release of this chapter means we're really gearing up for the main plot and everything now and that's super exciting!

take care of yourself, and i hope you have a good day/night whenever you get around to reading this <3

HI LIV :]

it's SUCH a good song!!! reminds me of nina cos apologies from the intercom but yeah! i had it on loop during the last scene of the chapter, and i had already planned to use it for a later chapter but decided i should swap it to be this chapter. whether this was a good decision or not is pending but regardless its SUCH a good song :D

HELP CS!DREAM SUCKS SO BAD FR...

YEAH! people seemed to really like the discussion of religion in the chapter and it's been really interesting to hear what people have said about it! i'm a religious person myself (though me and religion have a complicated history) but i absolutely love writing about people's perspective on religion, i like seeing how everyone's worldviews meet and collide and everything

YES I'M SO EXCITED... Wii Sports Resort my fucking ADORED

god i love writing cs!tommy so much. SO much. he's just such a genuinely good guy and he's so earnest and he just wants to be okay. i love him so bad i'm so glad people like him

i love seeing what lines are your favorites :D there's going to be a lot more of this celestial imagery, i'm obsessed with it and i'm so glad that you like it :] your compliments make me grin lots

i can't remember if i told u this or not but cmon liv look at me. consider everything u know about me. i'm not ending this fic without at least two more stargazing scenes PROMISE.

"i think there's something about reading this fic with each chapter update that makes me exhibit mentally ill behavior" this is one of the funniest fucking things anyone has ever said about cough syrup thank you for this

augh liv you're the sweetest thank you so much, i'm glad you can see yourself in cs!ranboo :] he's such a nice character to write because there's so much about himself he's trying to piece together and discover and that makes such a messy process (a very messy process jesus christ writing it is a whole hell of a ride) but what i hope to be a very realistic one? he's just. i care about him a lot and it means a lot that people like him, he's just my guy :] i'm so so happy you liked the chapter liv, hope you have a wonderful morning whenever you wake up and see this (ik its pretty early for u rn)
