#literally just Tommy being worried and being the hero

[dontperceivemeplsandthnx]

WHAT IF -

Buck’s apartment catches fire next week cuz of the Halloween decorations and the 217 is called out to the scene and THATS why there was a 217 truck in ep 3 - cuz Tim was getting ready for a scene where Tommy thinks Buck is in danger and goes in after him (whether or not he’s right and Buck is there is a different question I just want Tommy being afraid for Buck)

What actually is the plan though? What does cdream want to to? Is it to reset the server, then wouldn't he not want to lose his memories

,,, i honestly have no idea what post of mine you might be responding to. tbh "what is the plan" is never a question we got answered in full, though i've spitballed my way through a few theories based on his ramblings in No Way Home -- i'll throw a link here and here even though i haven't read this post in months and have no idea how much of it i actually stand by at this point, tbh. i've also written up stuff on how whether or not the actual plan did involve killing everyone who was going to go against them (bc it's a little unclear how much of that is a show for Tommy and how much of that is truth based on the balance we know exists from XD as well), his actions don't seem to line up with his stated intent here. It does seem like they made a degree of discovery regarding the cycles/resets in the server, but it's kind of unclear how much they actually knew about the resets and what their course of action was going to be regarding them (did they want to trigger a reset or stop one from occurring, for example, because deaths are cited both as a reason why god is going to end the world by c!Dream and deaths are also cited as being needed to keep the balance intact. Dream says they need a reset, but also says that he wants to stop XD from making it so that the world ends.) c!Dream's actual desire has been pretty clear from the beginning--people living together in peace, as he's stated multiple times from the beginning and a lot of emphasis is put on with the last stream when c!Tommy realizes that what c!Dream wants is a simple life with his friends, just like he does, and c!Dream talks about how everyone can be immortal together and not worry about anything anymore--etc etc, but as for what the actual concrete plan was that c!Dream and c!Punz might've had when it comes to the supernatural side of things and the resets, etc, there's no one answer that's immediately apparent from the text.

as for the second part of your ask...look, I mean, yeah, sure, I'm guessing c!Dream (if he wants to reset the server and start over in peace) wouldn't want to lose his memories, of course. there's a chance that his plan was along the lines of resetting the server one last time and then, idfk, killing god, in my opinion. at the same time, though, while we don't have any super concrete proof, i do think it's worth mentioning that c!Dream was throwing up every kind of crazy death flag possible for the entirety of the finale streams, his actual death notwithstanding. Talking about dying a hero, death by suicide, the emphasis on Tommy's tower, if I have to sacrifice myself and everything I love, the fact that c!Tommy's entire final plea literally amounts to "holy shit you lived before you loved to live you can keep living again" and when we talk about c!Dream's "tower moment" and "talking him off the edge" i do very much mean talking him off the edge of a building he seemed a half-step away from toppling over in very much not the moral sense, and the entirety of the snake speech and put me down...

...look, I just don't know how much this guy, subconsciously or otherwise, even thought he was going to make it to the end of his plan.

Am I the only hero with morals? (Villain Phil, Kristen, Hero Techno/Tommy(or both))

This sounds hilarious please

Happy to oblige lol I love this

Alright so this one’s basis is that Phil, who’s basically the most powerful supervillian in the city, is having a problem with lesser villains that are rising up to challenge him. The problem?? They took his wife. Naturally, none of the heroes want to help him, since, y’know, he’s a villain. Except Tommy/Techno/both is/are like ‘wtf?? This man’s wife has done nothing you can’t just??? Leave her there????’ And goes to save her. Phil, being the wife-loving man that he is, feels immediately indebted to him/them. So he goes to thank him/them.

chaos and found family proceeds, the heroes are pretty damn corrupt but Phil is NOT a ‘good’ villain he’s darkly morally grey and I love him for that. Errr.

if it’s just Tommy: he’s a bit put off by Phil, if he’s honest, but Kristen is nice and she’s very worried he’s not being treated well, so she sends Phil to make sure he is. Phil, of course, finds out the exact opposite and immediately wants to swoop the kid away, but has to bide his time. He ends up helping Tommy fight off one of the medium level villains, who gets a good shot on the kid. Phil instantly makes the decision to take him home, and Kristen is like ‘we r keeping him, my son now’. Phil agrees, and Tommy is eventually coaxed into agreeing because Kristen’s cooking is just THAT GOOD (and he’s lonely, but he’d never admit that). Found family occurs.

if it’s just Techno: he’s been putting up with the heroes and their stupid ‘rules’ about how he’s supposed to fight for so long, it’s refreshing to work with Phil. He thinks Kristen is a great person, but he’s definitely closer with Phil, and the two enjoy causing mass chaos. It didn’t take much for Techno to switch sides, especially after Phil shows he typically hurts LESS civilians than most of the heroes. Techno ends up getting into a fight with one of the higher up heroes, and he gets pretty beat up after another one joins in. Unfair fight. Phil is very worried, but Techno keeps telling him he’s overreacting. Phil eventually convinces Techno to come back with him, to make sure that his wounds were at least properly bandages. Techno’s wounds were (obviously) a lot worse than he was letting on, so Phil and Kristen literally just don’t let him leave. He enjoys the dynamic, more than he could ever admit. Found family occurs.

if both: Techno’s dead set on the fact that he can take care of Tommy alone, and they don’t need anyone else. The main reason he goes to rescue Kristen is because Tommy asked him to, but he had to admit that he’s glad to have helped her. He’s honestly a little jealous when Kristen starts sending Tommy sweets she made for him, at least until she sends some to him as well. Somehow, she knows exactly what both of them like. Tommy gets injured while out on patrol, and Phil swoops in to save him before Techno can get there. Techno, grudgingly, agrees to go with Phil to get some medical supplies to help Tommy. While Kristen is bandaging him up, Phil and Techno have a Meaningful Chat, and Techno finally admits that he might be just a little bit scared that he can’t take care of Tommy well enough. Phil offers to help, and Techno hesitantly agrees. Meanwhile, Kristen and Tommy have their own Meaningful Chat, in which Tommy confesses that he’s worried about Techno not being able to do anything ever because he’s always taking care of Tommy. Kristen offers to help, and Tommy agreed brightly. Tommy’s wounds are worse than she though anyway, she wants to keep an eye on his healing. Many Emduo moments. Lots of Kristen and Tommy (duo name??? Help???) moments. Tommy and Techno eventually have their own Meaningful Chat and in addition to confessing their fears they decide they DEFINITELY want to stay. Bedrock bros moments. Found family occurs

Were the Silent breaks Part 1

Lego Ninjago Master of Spinjitzu was created by Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen the owners of the series.

This story was inspirert by justbirdie, Huge thanks to them.

I do not own Ninjago

This is my first story hope you like it.

__________________________________

It's been 6 months since the defeat of the crystal king and his minions, peace is once again back to the people of Ninjago, all thanks to the brave heroes. After the defeat the people of Ninjago demanded that the mayor stop hunting the ninja and after some talking the mayor finally agreed to let them go. People have already started to rebuild the city again while our heroes are still fighting evil, even with the bigger threats gone there are still bad guys out there that need to be stopped.

We continued the day with the ninjas arriving back at the monastery on a calm night after stopping a bank robbery.

Jay enters the living area with a huge smile, Nya not too far behind.

"Another day rescued by the ninja" He fist pumps the air while jumping up in the air in his excitement.

"Relax dude, it’s just a robbery" Cole rolled his eyes at his friend's stupidity.

"Right, ~but~ we still beat the bad guys," Jay replied back as he sat down on the couch.

"You missed my point dude," Cole said bluntly, shuffling forward and plopping down.

Zane came in smiling at his two brothers arguing. "Some things never change" he thought.

"After everything that has happened to this city, you think they would learn a lesson" Said Lloyd, annoyed.

Looking at his little brother with sympathy Kai snickers. "We could've saved the world another hundred times, I doubt they would've learned" He crossed his arms.

"Yeah.. well" He punched Kai's shoulder lightly "It would be nice if they did''

"I'm proud of you all" Wu entered the room with Garmadon. (He got turned back to human after the crystal king was defeated. P.S I know that's not what really happened but it’s my story so I go at it =D)

Everybody turned towards the two."Even when the odds were against you, never stopped you from fighting"

"It’s our pleasure," Lloyd replied.

" I don't know about you guys but I am starving" Jay began patting his belly.

Cole gave a big smile. "Then you are in luck, cause it’s my turn to cook" He said with pride.Jay's face seemed to lose all color.

"Oh Nooooo" Cole looked coffended at Jay’s answer.

"What you mean Oh No!?

""No big offense man…" Jay knew he was gonna regret this, but it had to be done or he would die.

"Your cooking can be a little……bad" Jay scrambled behind the couch.

It became quiet as all eyes were on Cole.

"It's not that bad!!" He offered.

"You literally broke Zane last time," Nya replied.

There was a split second of silence, then the whole room broke into laughter, even the two masters themself.

Cole crossed his arms as he turned around mumbling something about his recipes being appetizers.

After a few minutes of laughing and making sure the master of earth didn't kill the master of lighting, Kai went beside Cole, pulling his arm over his shoulder as he led him into the kitchen.

"Come on, we'll cook together," Kai said.

Even though Cole loved to cook his favorite recipes, Kai's style of cooking was good old homemade meals, instead of big fancy meals like Zane likes, his meal was simple but delicious. If Cole had to give up cooking he would be happy Kai was the one taking over, next to Zane of course nobody could beat Zane's cooking.

"Fine," Cole said, while Kai gave him a smile as they entered the kitchen.

"Okay, dude" Pulling out a cooking book he turned to Cole. "Let's start"

A few minutes later they began to cut vegetables, while Kai was cutting some carrots. If he had looked an inch to the side he would see Cole looking at him with worried eyes.

When the crystal king was finally defeated and things began to calm down in the city for some random reason the other startet to wonder about Kai, when something bad happens.

It wasn't that he was acting sad or heartbroken. No, he was acting far too casual, maybe alittle angry and silly but that was normal. From different moments in his life, from catastrophic mission to losing someone, he'd shrugged off almost any concern the others showed towards him, simply stating that he was fine and began making sure the others were okay.

But to them it wasn't…. normal.

After everything he had encountered, especially after they lost Nya to the sea.

One would expect Kai would be devastated and heartbroken, with Jay he had locked himself in dr Julian's old tower to mourn her death even Lloyd quit the team to be a window cleaner because he was scared. The two explain it was never the same without her. Kai's reaction however shocked them, he wasn't mourning her sacrifice at the blacksmith with his parents, he had in the start but it didn't last long. Nya's death had effectet him that was true but not in the way they had first anticipated, and interaction between Kai and Jay had brought out a new view.

It really had them all thinking back all the time anything tragic happened to them, Kai was almost always there for the others, whether it was during the night or day, he was always there to lend a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen to.

But it also raises the question.

Who checked on Kai?

Not once could anybody ever recall talking with Kai or if he was okay after missions, the few times they did were mere small moments. He had almost always denied their support in any way possible and in due time they thought he was just being stubborn or thinking he was telling the truth so they never really brought it up.

Everybody wanted to ask him but hasn’t found the time and dare they admit courage to ask.

"Once you're done cutting the onions could you make the sauce?" Kai's voice startled him, interrupting his thoughts.

Blinking a few times Cole hesitated. "Y..Yeah, dude" Dark brown eyes flickering away momentarily before returning to his task.

×××××Time Skip×××××

After 30 minutes of cooking, Cole finally gathered his courage.

"Hey Kai" He started carefully as he placed the last plate on the table.

"Sup, dude" Kai replied happly, not taking his eyes off the stew he was steering.

Taking a deep breath and straightening his body slightly.

"Do you…." He hesitated. "Regret joining the team?" He asked.

Kai froze at the question, Cole couldn't withhold a wince as he heard Kai's neck crack as he turned to look at him.

"Maybe this was a mistake?!. Maybe I should've just kept quiet? Maybe it wasn't the right time" Cole thought as Kai kept staring at him.

"What?" Kai asked.

"I just wondered" He ran a hand through his hair. "I asked everybody else and I wanted to hear your answer" A small lie, but he had to make up something to cover his tracks.

Kai hesitated for a moment.

"Look.. you don't have to anw-"

"I'm not completely sure," Kai interrupted.

He turned off the stove then went to lean on the counter. Kai sighed, running a hand through his hair as he stared at his boots.

Cole sat slowly as he waited for Kai to tell him.

"To begin with, I joined this team to save my sister," He began.

"But after that… I followed the path of a ninja" Kai managed a strained smile, crossing his arms

"I will admit. It was a crazy time" Kai snickers. "But I had a blast. All those adventures and all those battles we had the friends we made along the way, I would never trade for anything else" Kai looked at Cole.

"However" His smile fell. "We also had alot going on, bad things" "It made me wonder if it was worth it"

He averted his eyes to look out the window."Was it worth all the pain? There were times when I wanted to quit the team, a part of my brain told me to just take Nya back to the blacksmith were it was safe and forget this whole mess and live our life like before"

"Why didn't you?" Cole asked.Kai looked back at Cole with hesitance.

"There was more need here," He replied.

Cole was left speechless, Kai however, was uncomfortable and turned back to the stew.

"Let's get this done before Jay starts fussing over us," Kai said, his happy spirit gone.

"S..Sure" Was the only reply Cole gave.

×××××Time Skip×××××

It was around dinner time and everybody was enjoying eachothers company alongside the meal Cole and Kai made.

"Mmmmm" Jay stuck a mouthful of food in his mouth. "This so good"

"Indeed" Zane gave the two chefs a smile. "Thank you dear brothers for this meal"

"Your welcome man," Kai replied. "But I couldn't have done it without this man" He bumped into Cole.

Cole smiled at him.

Suddenly a phone broke that moment, Kai suddenly stood up looking guilty .

"Sorry. Must be my dad" Waving his phone, he left the room.

A silence took over. But that silence was quickly interrupted by Lloyd who looked uncomfortable as he asked.

"What you think Kai meant?"

Cole nearly choked on his drink. He put it down as he coughed.

Nya leaned over and patted Cole on the back to help him.

Cole recovered and said, "How did you know?!"

"I was passing by" Lloyd said guiltily, he hadn't meant to eavesdrop on their conversation, it was an accident.

Cole was quiet as the other turned to him confused.

"Cole, what is Lloyd talking about?" Nya asked, worried there was something wrong with her brother.

He didn't get much time to think before Kai rentered the room, still on the phone.

"Okay dad, I'll be out soon" He hung up the phone and looked at his second family with a sorry expression.

"Sorry I gotta cut my dinner short" He told them.

"What's wrong brother?" Nya Ask.

"Nothing to worry sis. Dad just told me, he's here to tell me something, " He replied.

"I'll be back soon" He then left again.

They waited until they heard the door close then turned their attention back to Cole.

"Cole"

Cole didn't know if he should, but in the end the others would find out one way or another.

So with a deep breath he told them what Kai told him. To say shocked was an understanding, but there was also confusion, after a few minutes of silence everybody tried to find out what to do with this information.

"I mean yeah I get the dude" Jay began rubbing his neck. " But even that doesn’t explain much doesv it"

"No it doesn’t" Zane replied.

"So what do we do?" Lloyd asked.

"I don't know," Cole said.

"Maybe we can look in his room?" Jay suggested.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!!" Everybody yelled at Jay.

Each ninja knew Kai didn't like people in his room, and they respected that, alongside the fact that Kai would lose it if anybody did try to enter his room.

"Jay, you know Kai hates it when people enter his room" Nya said, sounding very warily.

"I know, but what other option do we have?" Jay replied back as he was already making his way to the sleeping quarters.

"JAY!" The other followed after Jay, while the masters stayed behind.

"Dude this is a bad idea" Cole said. "We should just wait for Kai to return then ask him

"They stopped by Kai's bedroom door, while Jay went for the door handle.

"Listen dude. I want answers as much as you do" Lloyd began.

"But this is not the way," He said angrily.

"It's worth the risk" He said as he opened the door and stepped in, the others following him.

The room wasn't messy as they had expected. It was very simple compared to the others who either had a big television or huge bookshelf or alot of decor. Kai's room had no television or bookshelf, his room contained a medium window with red curtains, on the windshield was some few pictures and a simple plant. In the room was also a simple desk, two small shelves above the bed with a few books, beside the bed was a small desk with two cabinets and a wardrobe, a small light was giving a soft glow to the room.

"I really thought the room would be filled with pictures of Kai," Jay joked.

"Atleast, it’s not as messy as yours," Jay '' Cole replied funny.

"What you mean? It’s not that messy!!" Jay yelled.

"Have you seen it dude!" Cole rolled his eyes. "I never seen anything like it"

"Guys don't lose focus" Lloyd interrupted looking out the door to make sure Kai wasn't returning.

"Okay" Jay started to look around. "If I was Kai, where would I hide stuff?"

"Well find it!" Lloyd was getting worried.

From the corner of his eye he noticed a loose plank. "Bingo" He bent down and pried it open to reveal a small room with some few items, among them was a book.

"This most be it guys!" He yelled triumph.

"Okay let's see" He didn't get to open it before it was snatched from his hands.

"HE-" He turned to yell at whoever took it from him but shrunk down when he was met with Kai's furious face, he didn't even hear him enter, Jay noticed the others had their head down in shame behind Kai.

"Found anything good" He growled.

"Yoooy d..dude" Jay got up.

The others looked at eachother before exiting the room leaving Jay with a furious Kai.

"Briefing Room.Now" He pointed at the door, Jay felt small at the gaze Kai gave him.

"Okay I can exp-" He tried.

"Save it Jay" His voice startled him. It sounded so… angry and so… sad as Kai pointed at the door again, looking more furious.

With a defeated sigh Jay left, he winced at the door slamming hard behind him. As he made his way to the briefing room Jay started to have regret and wished he'd listened to his friends.

Upon entering the room, the others had gathered together talking.

"I knew this was a bad idea," Lloyd said.

"How angry do you think he is?" Cole asked.

"I don't know," Nya admitted. Never had she encountered anything with her brother to that scale.

All eyes turned to the door as both master Wu and Garmadon entered the room with Kai behind them still mad."I think we have some issues to take care of, '' Wu declared calmly.

Before he could continue the alarm sounded.

"NINJA'S" Borg's fantric face came on the big screen, he looked to be hiding under something and everyone could hear the chaos going around him.

"Borg, what's the emergency?" Lloyd answered, immediately going to leader mode.

"A bunch of intruders are attacking borg tower"

"We're on ou-" Before he could finish the screen went black with Borg screaming face the last thing they saw.

"Team let's go" Kai was the first to sprint out.

"We will talk when you return," Wu said.

Everybody nodded then left after Kai.

finally getting to Lone star 4x09 😂 I've been watching the episodes days late recently lol

(but 4x09 - BEST episode this season so far hands down, and possibly one of my faves ever, it was so fucking good)

thoughts and spoilers under the cut

aww Marjan's coming back??? yaaay I'm so excited 😍

idk why but all the joking etc in this scene feels kinda awkward and cringe and lowkey almost forced...? 😂 idk, maybe it's just me, it just feels weird 😂

awww Marjan is such a good person fr, she cares soooo much 🥺 she's amazing

ngl I didn't think we'd stick with the Grant and Kiley storyline for more than one episode, but it looks like he's... going after Marjan or something? 😬 it's exciting but also worrying (and I just realized I either didn't watch the promo or forgot everything about it bc I have no idea where we're going 😂)

Owen freaking out about the party is so funny lmao - I'm gonna say it once more: Rob Lowe is SO GOOD in comedic roles

oh shit Marjan 😱😱 and she was in the car that caused that family to crash oh my god 😱 oh I feel so bad 😰😰

and of course Grant is fine 🙄 I really want him to die tbh

seeing Marjan like this is literally making me tear up �� she's such a good person and this is what she gets for it, that's so not fair 😭

oh my god Mouse is the only one who survived?!??? 💔😭 are you kidding me, I wasn't prepared to be hit in the feels like this tonight oh god - and she's blaming herself noooo baby 🥺😭

I'm crying - they gave me a hurt Marjan and a little girl who just lost her best friend, and they broke me 😭

thank god they all know Marj so well and are so worried - and thank god for Grace always being the best 😭

I knew it was gonna happen but it still surprised - RIP Rick, he was just trying to help jfc

Grant needs to fucking die, get his annoying face off my screen 😠

OH SHIT and she got shot too???! don't fucking do this to me oh my god 😭 I cannot handle this

Mouse is fucking awesome, I'm praying she doesn't get hurt (and that Marjan will be fine)

my hear is breaking fr, my poor Marjan 😭💔

this episode is fucking good

the best this season so far, hands down

Marjan's a damn hero and they need to save her 😭😭😭

and, again, Mouse is fucking amazing fr

oh my god they're so close to her!!

they came for her and they're so close and she hears them and I'm fucking crying 😭

omg she has the flare gun is she gonna use it?!! YAAAAS!!! SHE KILLED HIM!! THAT'S MY GIRL! ❤️😍😍

omg is Mouse not really there??? did she die? what the fuck??? oh they got me with her fr

okay, I need to take a moment for Carlos in glasses and TK sleeping while hugging Carlos' arm because that's too adorable 😍 😂 look at them 🥺😍

wait what the fuck, so Mouse and that family were never in this car crash?! why are you messing with my emotions like this oh my god

oh my god Mouse was Marjan

oh my god

this makes it so much better and so much sadder

oh my god what

I'm literally sobbing 😭

her mom calls her mouse 😭😭😭

OH MY GOD THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD!!!

Mouse was Marjan!!! (lowkey crying bc she still feels guilty for that crash 😭) that was a twist I didn't see coming but it makes so much sense oh my god

it was Marjan's episode Natacha did an amazing job fr - I was a sobbing mess by the end of it

I love how this episode finally felt like they're all a family, you know, planning the party bc Marjan was coming back, and immediately knowing that something's wrong bc not showing up or not having her phone on is so unlike her - they know her so well 😭 - and they all worked together to save her and it was amazing

and Marjan!!! she basically saved herself, while barely able to walk, bleeding from her head and then after being shot???! she's so fucking strong and badass and amazing

(and I said multiple time that Mouse was amazing, which means - Marjan is SO fucking amazing)

and I love that we got at least a little bit of her backstory, about her family dynamics, with her parents not coming to her games etc (while Tommy sat through three hours of ballet, bless her soul, ballet sucks 😂)

I need an episode like that for every single one of them (but maybe with less near-death experiences pls 😂)

I literally loved it SO MUCH - it might be one of my faves episodes of this show ever tbh, so good (and to think my stupid ass wanted to drop this show two episodes ago wtf bitch lmao)

it was amazing, I need time to process lmao

Oh the "present" is gonna be a clock isnt it

Oh nvm its a cake, which is just. so evil man, cakes have terrible saturation but Sam doesnt have anything else so ofc hes gonna be grateful even though its shit

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I was definitely wrong about Dreams manipulation tactics changing with his goals. Like, i still dont think he wants to work with Sam or be 'friends' with him like with Tommy during the exile arc, but he is still doing the thing of breaking people down and then building them up with a fascimile of kindness so that theyll listen to him

Im assuming the time passed irl is the same as the time passed in-universe which means that Sam has been alone in the prison for 4 days but Dream is a lying motherfucker whos telling him that its only been one day

Okay now hes saying its been 2 days but hes still lying

HE DID GET HIM A CLOCK IM GONNA LOSE IT

Okay he wants to compare hkmself and Sam, Im very curious bc this will hopefully grant us some insight into how Dream like, actually percieves himself and his actions

Okay, two things:

1. Dream being like "[the evil bunker full of everyones sentimental items] was just theater" has some serious Wilbur vibes ngl

2. Dream is sooooooo obsessed with Tommy istg

Dream is asking Sam what bad things hes done aside from manipulate Tommy and be dramatic and Sam is like "uhhhhh idk tbh......" as though Dream isnt the guy responsible for Lmanberg blowing up thrice

Sam is basically asking Dream if the things Dream did were wrong/bad and its like, you cant do that, you cant cushion your opinions on someones bad action in this kind of insecurity, especially if youre talking to someone known to be manipulative!!

Ouhhghhh the way Dream can basically make up anything he wants about Tommys time in exile because barely anyone, but esepcially not Sam, visited him

"How was it my fault that Tommy was exiled" I dont even have anything to say, Im just kinda enamoured by the realization of how little people other than Tommy and maybe Wilbur actually know about the exile

Dream just mentioned the Egg and 1. I had already basically completely forgotten about that and 2. The timeline of Drea involvement with the Egg is like, he briefly checked on it back when everything was still kinda kicking of, didnt worry about it for weeks or even months and then he was in jail for a year and he basically completely missed all of the Egg Lore like damn, I hope Punz properly explained all that bullshit to him lol

God, Im projecting so hard rn but Dream weaponizing his own genuine suffering in order get what he wants which also shields him from having to confront the ways it was made him suffer and how it actually affected him is so relatable

Ive been spoiled so I know theyre gonna try and make c!Dream more sympathetic later on and i know a lot of people really hate that and honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that he didnt get his own POV/only got it very late which gives people less opportunity to sympathize or empathize with him and also really dehumanizes him. Idk this is kinda complex and I'll probably make a seperate post about it

Im going to lose my mind, Dreams monologue about how everyone is the hero in their own story and a villain in many others literally sounds like a thesis statement, like if the Dream SMP had a kids show-esque "message" like so many people inexplicably want it to, it would be this more than literally anything else

OHHHHHHHH the double meaning of Dream telling Sam that he built the prison for him. mwah, perfection

"Dream said he wouldnt lock anyone up in the prison" WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST HIM

Ooooooooooo Sam grouping himself in with Dream..........

HES TAKING SAM OUT OF THE PRISON

Hes giving Dream full access to the prison theres no way this could possibly go well

Sam as the users manual for the prison vs Dream as the revival book...........

👁👁 HES KILLING SAM??

SAMS DEAD VOD OVER

SDLK's Eighteenth Chapter Is Out!

Blurb: It was nearly the start of a New Year. With that came birthdays, and celebration, and new beginnings. But like any other day, something was bound to go wrong. Soon. Very soon. [Eighteenth chapter spoilers after this point] I wasn't originally going to have Hannah confess any of this, and I also changed my ideas around Scott's involvement with the Egg. Hannah's confession just kind of happened, and I realized that it would make a certain plot point she's involved in more impactful now that she has a shoulder to lean on. To be clear, her being able to tell Ant this is not at all some sort of plot hole, despite what she says right beforehand. Damn, imagine trying to assassinate a hero because they're annoying. Couldn't be 'Lucas'. (is this /s or /srs, we don't know yet.) The reason I put a Tubbo-centric piece in this chapter (as opposed to next chapter) was because I realized that, in the timeline, it was literally his birthday. Bad will have some moments next chapter, so don't worry about that. Tubbo's part was a bit short, again (2,101 words), but I think it contained some important information regarding his and Tommy's relationship (as well as him and Jordan interacting.) Plus, he just assumes he's on his own once he's released from custody. It feels like a new start, for him. On the warnings in the beginning notes I keep reading it as "international injury."

[secndbest]

the hero ? reeve couldn't help it : he laughed— a humorless sound. he'd never been a hero. didn't really desire to be one either. a lifetime of fighting to be seen as more than a sidekick or part of the supporting cast had quite literally beat that dream out of him. no, heroism wasn't built for those with his kind of anger ( the kind that beat golden boys black and blue and would not have hesitated to crush every bone in thomas's grasping hand were it not for their audience ). at the end of the day, all reeve really wanted was respect, and he could get that just as well playing the villain as he could the hero. at least villain was a role people were willing to give him.

as the heavy auditorium doors clicked shut behind them, reeve reached his limit in being jerked around. rooting his feet to the ground, he yanked his sleeve out of the other's grip, fixing him with a blackened glare. ❝ how would they find out, thomas ? hm ? how would they fucking find out ? would you tell them ? ❞ he took a small step forward, pressing thomas's outstretched finger back towards his own chest. ❝ because i wasn't planning on telling anyone. hell, before today, i wasn't planning on giving you the chance. ❞ another step, each one like an inch burned off a fuse. he barely blinked. barely took a breath. no one was going to make him feel small, least of all a parasite like thomas ortesky. ❝ his last known location is public fucking record, tommy. is it really such a stretch to think he would have ended up somewhere nearby ? plus, it's only a matter of time before someone finds something. would you rather it be some random hikers that kick up his shit ? go through it all and go straight to the police with it ? at least this way we get to control the narrative. we get to decide what gets found. ❞

dark eyes danced between hickory brown, their faces only a short distance apart. ❝ i get that you're worried. i hear you. but maybe stop your neurotic bullshit for one second and think about how, as you pointed out, i'm the one that has the most at risk here. ❞ his thesis, his fight, his story. all thomas did on that trip was sit there and dig a hole. how he— or anyone else for that matter— thought they could dictate what reeve did with his feelings about any of it was beyond him.

❝ now, ❞ a step back, big enough to leave thomas's finger hanging in the air. in but a moment he'd gone from looking like he was about to blow, to his fuse being completely snuffed out, albeit perhaps only temporarily. ❝ if you have any other 'concerns,' i'd get them out now ; wasn't kidding about being in back to back meetings today. ❞

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎THOMAS CUT HIS eyes sharply to the company reeve had apparently been keeping , the lingering members of the theatre board resuming pleasant chatter and mindless conversation as they dotted the hall behind the man tom's focus was meant to be on. thomas's fury was pushing against the back of his eyes, clouding his vision with black spots he tried to blink away, reeve's voice ringing in his ears like the toll of church bells. " they weren't braindead. they were actual fuckin' concerns , reeve, " thomas bit , brooklyn clinging to his tongue as his anger bordered on seething. " — you know what fuckin' doors you just opened ?? ones i thought we had all agreed to lock and leave behind ?? where the fuck is this sudden change of heart comin' from , huh ?? this desperate need to be the hero or some shit ?? "

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ the anger made sense in his head, but it felt foreign in his limbs ; like it wasn't supposed to be there. he was being made to feel like something was wrong with him because he thought , and believed , this to be a stupid idea. he thought reeve of all people had felt the same until all of this bullshit about a docuseries came about. glaring at the lingering fingers behind them, thomas reached forward, grasping the fabric of reeve's sleeve whilst the other hand found the handle to the auditorium door — practically dragging the other through them with him before he could get away. once the door latched, clicking behind them, thomas got closer — a metaphorical steam pluming from flaring nostrils as his jaw tightened.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎" like i'm stayin' home while all of you go out there to do who knows what. yeah fuckin' right, " he grit through his teeth. then, pointing an accusatory finger to the man's chest. his voice was kept to a harsh whisper, words grated like he had swallowed a fistful of glass. " you're talkin' about MY friendship with luke ?? ‏‏‎you want the whole world findin' out you beat the golden boy til he was bleedin' right before he vanished into the woods ?? if this is some fuckin' way of clearing your name , draggin' a film crew out to the mountains is NOT the way to do it , man." thomas wanted to reason with him; getting on the reeve's bad side was not what he was looking to do, but when every skeleton he had tucked away in the closet was at risk of being exposed ??

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎tom couldn't see through the anxiety, not clear enough to stop.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏" you're putting everyone at risk and being an arrogant prick about it. have you even thought about what could happen if people put together that WE were the ones on that camping trip last summer ?? we'd be fucked, reeve. i'm allowed to have some concerns about that.

Career Day

Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader

Wanda asks Natasha fill in for career day for her sons where she meets you, their teacher, and she instantly knows she likes you.

Note: In my head, Natasha is alive and well and so are Wanda’s kids and they love each other like family. This one is very fluffy.

Also, thank you all so much for 200 followers! It means the world to me that people enjoy reading my writing. My final semester of college begins next week, so I may not be posting quite as much, but I will do my best to keep writing throughout the semester. I hope you enjoy this one!

Masterlist

“Hey Nat?” Wanda says into the phone. Natasha can hear sounds of fighting in the background and she remembers Wanda’s on a mission.

“What’s up?” Natasha replies.

“I’m sorry to do this, but can you do me like a huge favor? I’ll owe you forever,” Wanda says.

“Of course,” Natasha says, her tone a bit concerned.

“The school called, Tommy and Billy forgot to tell me it’s career day at school and I’m obviously not in town at the moment. Could you- would you go in my place? I mean I know the boys adore you, like Auntie Nat level, and you like them too. So, I thought- I don’t know,” Wanda rambles on and Natasha just smiles into the phone.

“I can definitely do that, Wanda. You just worry about getting back safe and I’ll take care of things here,” Natasha replies.

“Oh thank you, Nat! You’re awesome!” Wanda says. “Alright, I gotta go kick some ass. Talk to you later.”

“Bye Wands,” Natasha says as she disconnects the call.

She puts on her super suit and drives to the school. It should be easy enough to tell the kids about being an Avenger, she thinks. But still her nerves are making her worry about it. What if the kids aren’t excited because she’s not one of the more known heroes?

As she enters the school front office, the ladies up front help her sign in and point her to right classroom. She fidgets with her hand nervously as she enters the open door, and that’s when she sees you for the first time.

You’re standing by your desk at the front of the room with a name tag on it that says ‘Ms. Y/l/n.” Wanda hadn’t told her that the boys’ teacher was so beautiful, and she was taken aback for a moment before she felt two bodies crash into her.

“Auntie Nat!” Billy and Tommy both say and she leans down to return their hugs.

“Hey boys. Your mom is on a mission, so I’m here for your career day. I hope that’s okay?” Natasha asks them and they both nod happily. They do love their Auntie Nat.

Tommy pulls on Nat’s hand to walk further into the classroom. “You have to meet our teacher Ms. y/l/n! She’s so cool,” he says.

You overhear him say your name and you look up to be met with the most gorgeous woman you’ve ever seen. Her red hair with blonde ends falls onto her black suit perfectly and her smile makes your heart swell.

“Hey, you must be the famous Auntie Nat,” you say to her placing your hand out for her to shake, trying your best to keep your cool.

“That’s me. You can call me Natasha or Nat. Either one. And you’re Ms. y/l/n? I hear you’re the cool teacher around here,” Natasha says as she shakes your hand a bit too long before pulling away.

“Just y/n is fine. I have to say I think an Avenger will really spice up our career day,” you say with a smile and Natasha smirks at you.

“What no one else here has fought an alien? Weird,” Natasha replies and you both laugh. So, she’s funny and beautiful? You’re screwed.

Soon enough it’s time for everyone to take their seats and career day begins. There were a few parents that were decent at interacting with the kids, but no one captivated the kids like Natasha. It wasn’t even just that she’s literally a superhero. She just had a way of speaking to the kids that made them feel so important. You were definitely falling for her even after just hours of knowing her personally.

The school day is over at the end of career presentations, so you bid goodbye to most of your students and their parents. Except for one family, who’s definitely got your favorite students (and now aunt), the Maximoffs.

“I can never get him to put his pencil down,” you say as you walk up to the family. You lean against a desk next to Natasha. She is watching Billy do times tables while Tommy occupies himself with drawing on a whiteboard.

“I bet,” Natasha laughs. “I hope I did okay today. Wanda wanted to be here, but she’s on mission,” Natasha says.

You give her an encouraging nod. “You did great, Natasha. You were certainly the kids’ favorite,” you reply.

“They probably wanted me to be Iron Man or Captain America,” She jokes and you shake your head.

“No way. Black Widow is the best Avenger,” you say and go red in the face. “I’m sorry. That’s a super nerdy thing to say directly to your face.” You look down until you feel a hand rest softly on your arm.

“Don’t worry about it. I appreciate it,” Natasha says and you look into each other’s eyes for a minute getting lost in them.

“Is it time to go home now?” Tommy asks, breaking the moment and you and Nat both stand up.

“Yeah, yeah let’s go boys. It was really nice to meet you, y/n. Thanks for educating these young minds,” Natasha says.

“Of course. And it was nice to meet you too, Nat. I hope to see you again soon,” you say and she smirks at you before walking out with the boys.

For the next couple of weeks, Natasha asks to pick up the boys from school and Wanda appeases having no idea why she would want to. Until one day when she joins Nat.

“Hey y/n,” Natasha says from the car as she pulls into the pickup line. You smile at her and excuse yourself from your group of colleagues you were talking to.

“Natasha, hi! How are you?” You say and the two of you chat for a minute in your own world until Wanda makes her presence known by waving at you.

“Hey Ms. Maximoff, kids are doing great by the way. Best in the class,” you say and Wanda smiles at that.

“That’s good to hear,” Wanda says and you realize the line is backed up so you have to bid them goodbye for now.

Once Nat pulls out of the parking lot, Wanda looks at her still blushing face and practically giggles.

“Oh my god, you’re so hot for their teacher!” Wanda laughs out.

“Wanda! I’m not- we aren’t 12 please don’t say it like that,” Natasha replies, trying to look straight forward and hide her furthering blush.

“I think you should ask her out,” Wanda says and Nat shakes her head. “She is cute and there’s a good chance she’s into you too. I saw the way she talked at you. That isn’t all ‘aunt of my students’ chatting.”

“You really think it would be okay? I mean I definitely like her. Like a lot more than I should probably,” Natasha says. “I just don’t want to mess anything up with the kids, you know? A love affair with their teacher may not be the best example for them.”

“Okay, first of all yes I think it’s okay. Second of all, I knew you liked her,” Wanda says in a sing song voice, making Natasha laugh. “And third of all, following your heart is always a good example for them.”

“Okay. I’m going to ask her out then,” Natasha says with a burst of confidence.

“Go Auntie Nat!” Tommy shouts from the backseat and both women laugh, having forgotten the kids could hear everything back there.

The next afternoon, Natasha parks her car instead of waiting in the line. She stands by the car leaning on the driver side door to wait for you. She knows it’s a bit odd, so when you approach her car she isn’t surprised.

“Hey, are you okay out here?” You ask and she’s quick to nod.

“Yeah. I just- can we talk? Sorry that sounds like something super bad has happened. Nothing has,” Natasha rambles out.

“Give me 20 minutes to wrap up here and then yes let’s talk?” You ask. She smiles at you and take it as a yes.

She waits patiently for you to get all of the kids safely to their cars and tries to come up with what she’s going to say to you.

“Hey, I’m finished now, Nat,” you say as you approach her again.

“Great. Would you want to go for a drive with me? Just for a little bit?” Natasha asks. You are shocked, she can see that, but you walk to the other side of the car and get in. She turns on some music and you ride in silence for a few songs.

“Everything okay, Natasha?” You finally break the silence.

“Hm?” Natasha says before she processes your question. “Yes. Everything’s good.” She says, but you’re not quite sure if you believe her.

“Alright, here we are,” she says about 5 minutes later when she pulls into a parking lot of a local diner.

She doesn’t move to get out of the car though and when you look at her in confusion she turns in the driver’s seat to face you.

“Y/n,” she begins, “I’ve really enjoyed talking to you these past couple of weeks. Like really.” You smile at her and she continues. “I want you to know you can say no and I’ll drop you back at your car immediately, but I’d really like to spend more time with you and take you out sometime.”

At her words, your heart beats so fast in your chest that Natasha must be able to hear it. “Yes,” is the only word you can breathe out.

“Yeah? Because I know the boys are your students and it may be weird, but I just really like you and I don’t want to miss a chance to be with you because I’m scared of what other people might think,” Natasha expresses and you reach across the center console to hold her hand in yours.

“I’m so glad you feel that way, Nat. Honestly, I’ve been wanting to ask you out too, but I didn’t know if you were into me. I mean you’re like the world’s coolest superhero and I’m just some woman,” you explain and Nat squeezes your hand softly.

“You are not just some woman, y/n. You’re amazing. I saw that day how you interact with kids, and I know Tommy and Billy like you a lot. That’s a superhero in itself, detka,” Natasha says. You look at her with a raised brow at that last word being a different language.

“Is that Russian?” You ask and she just laughs.

“Maybe,” she admits sheepishly, not wanting to tell you she called you ‘baby.’

“You should speak in Russian to me more. I like that,” you tease and her jaw almost drops. You smile before asking her, “Did you bring me to this diner for a date or?”

“Oh yeah. I thought maybe we could grab some dinner. If you want? I didn’t know how to ask you out without just doing it right then, so I figured I’d bring you and then ask. I can be a bit presumptuous sometimes, I apologize,” Natasha explains.

“Don’t apologize, Natasha. This is great. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better,” you reply and she leans in to kiss you cheek. It takes you by surprise, but you soak up the feel of her soft lips on you.

“Sorry, I couldn’t resist. You’re just so beautiful,” Natasha says and your stomach fills with butterflies like you’re back in high school talking to your crush.

“You’re gorgeous, Natasha,” you reply and take chance by leaning closer to her again.

Your lips are inches from hers, and you can feel her breath on them.

You lightly brush your lips over hers to test the waters, and she grabs the sides of your face with her hands to deepen the kiss. The kiss is passionate, but efficient. Both of you seem to fit together perfectly and it’s a while before you separate for air.

“That was- wow,” you say breathlessly and Natasha nods against your forehead.

“Let’s go get that dinner before we are tempted to do anything else in this car,” Natasha says with a smirk. You blush at her words.

“Sounds perfect, Nat,” you reply and you get out of the car together. She intertwines her fingers with yours as you walk into the diner.

You both never thought a school career day would bring about so much happiness in your lives.

[fluffallamaful]

You read my mind! :D All the different emotions, the chaos, how all of them are in different states of crisis, how but Karl LOVES anticipation!!! — my lil war criminal babies D: Anyway, now Tommy has to help teach them how to play properly.

But not immediately. First things first: Dream is in the middle of a breakdown right now. Tommy’s actually really kind of scared, because normally Dream lashes out at him but now he’s just kind of crying into his shoulder?? This is a new low, and it’s really worrying for a number of reasons. He shoots Quackity and Sam an extra glare for good measure, and then he takes charge.

And you know what? You’re probably right about him being more responsible than I first gave him credit for. Tommy can be really emotionally intelligent when he’s not thinking of everything in terms of heroes and villains, there’s a reason he was the only one to realize that Dream is a person in the end (even if it took him literally being forced into his shoes to do it). So he orders Sam and Quackity out (“Go get him a massive jug of water.” “Washcloth. Now. And make it a warm one.”) and then he turns his attention to Dream. And for a while, they just sit together. And he comforts him, and soon he actually starts tickling him properly — gently, with little teases peppered in there to keep him in a swarm of bubbly giggles. (At one point he even kisses his eyelid: kissing away the tears.) (Maybe he uses some of Phil’s tactics here, too :) )

Anyway, this is how Quackity and Sam find them when they return.

And of course they’re confused. This is a totally different reaction — why isn’t Dream freaking out now?? And Dream is looking embarrassed again, and Quackity is describing something and suddenly Tommy understands a bit more about what happened. “Big Q, you’re an idiot. Come here, I’ll show you how it’s done. Both of you fuckers.”

Dream panics a bit at first, but Tommy winks at him and starts ordering the two of them around like henchmen. Sam is in his usual position, but now he’s got a more active role as a pillow that hugs people instead of just sitting there like a lump. Quackity is down below, right by Tommy’s side, looking very perplexed.

Then the session begins.

Quackity spends some time showing Tommy what he’s been doing, and Tommy stops him almost immediately pretty much every turn. (“That’s too rough, man! You’re gonna make him cry if you do that!” “Isn’t that the point?” “NO!”) (“Don’t scratch there, Q: keep your touches light.”) Sam doesn’t do much at first, just watches, but once Quackity’s gotten the hang of it Tommy turns to Sam and starts giving him instructions, too. (“Be a pillow, Sam, be a pillow — pillows are soft, and fluffy. You’re plenty soft and fluffy on the outside, but you need to make him feel soft and fluffy on the INSIDE, too.” “…What?”) He teaches him how to tease in ways that get the subject giggling, how to hold him so that it feels like he’s being hugged instead of restrained and ignored.

And of course Dream is humiliated at first. It’s a really vulnerable position! But slowly it turns from something embarrassing to something cozy, something warm. By the time they’re done with him, Dream’s practically melted into the mattress.

gzgzysuacfd my heart is being squeezzeddddd 😭 (and these responses are getting longer i feckin adoree this au omfg,, kisses your ask box /p)

and yes i think that tommy could have potential to latch onto the idea of dream being more human and emotional than he originally thought. like really just becoming extremely determined to help dream open up to him and learn how his mind works. and i think that’s part of the reason that drove his mature change in just the last moments of the lore :,) his dnf limbo :’’’)))

(more discussisoknn)

🦙🦙🦙…

i’m feckin sucker for comfort tickles that start off with back tickles while the lee is crying into a shoulder hello??? did i plan for this?? …maybe.. maybeee,, but it makes the most sense here cmonnn

quackity and sam leave and dream is still buried into tommys shoulder. tommy is confused, dream is too humiliated and shaken to unhide himself,, so tommy just starts to softly talk to him. he asks if dream wants to talk about what happened? if they had hurt him or if he needs any water? dream just stays silent. tommy tells him that he’s all ears when he’s ready. he continues his back tracing.

he tells dream about how phil used to help him whenever he was panicked like this, about a game they used to play. he explains that him that techno, phil and wilbur got quite close after his exile. he gulps at his own mentioning of exile.

the game that he and phil used to play was one where phil would trace a drawing or a word into tommys back, and tommy would have to guess what the drawing was. tommy asks dream if dream wants to play? dream nods his head against tommys shoulder.

he starts off with just a triangle, he asks dream to guess the shape and tells him “well done mate”. he draws a star, a house, a smile. he starts writing simple words like “cow” and “pig”,, and each time dream gets it right he ensures to praise him accordingly. he notices dream’s grip on his tshirt lighten significantly.

he then explains the next part of he and phil’s game,, explaining that the words would start to get longer, and the drawings would get bigger. so big in fact that they’d end up brushing over ,,,certain spots,,, that would end up making tommy laugh. he demonstrates by emphasising his lettering that had reached the edge of dream’s shoulder blade,, just behind his armpit. dream starts giggling. tommy finishes his explanation with “kinda like this spot on you”

he starts purposefully finding all the spots on dreams back and sides that make him giggle, until eventually dream squirms away from the hug and falls back down to his bed. tommy coos at him and supplies him with soft, sporadic pokes to his chest and tummy. and then that’s when sam and quackity walk in…

fzgzggsgse tommy winking at dream to calm his panic after offering q and sam a demonstration is so cute!! because dream would be so damn embarrassed about them seeing him like that. but tommy would just be so gentle and constantly be checking in on him when sam and quackity approach. he would make sure that he is always the one closest to dream, and would go back to stroking his knuckles while he’s explaining to q and sam how to make someone feel loved during tickles :’) (wtf i’m going to cry).

i love the idea of quackity having his techniques be adjusted, whilst sam learns how to coo appropriately. and i also love the idea that tommy is possibly recreating a scenario that happened to him with wilbur and techno one time ☹️

I STILL LIVE DONT WORRY GUYS >:D

I’ve just been buried under a lot of school work

Now that the dsmp is kinds starting to kick off again or at least soon, and midterms are over, I might start drawing again…?

Look I’ll try and that’s all that matter :)

ANYWAYS,

I have AU ideas that I’m looking for or giving out the prompt

Cliché, overused super hero au with dsmp, you’ve seen it, I’ve read it, so how do we change it up?

Simple, there’s not many but it has been done, give ya boy Tommy a break, make the boy a civilian just trynna vibe y’know

Because of main character vibes he’s always in the presence of someone who is a hero, villain, or vigilante, and he’s just oblivious, and when I mean oblivious us i mean he has like no idea, no knowing his family or friends have a night job or anything, he’s just a normal kid getting through school

Extra points if people think that he has an alter ego or whatever it’s called

Extra extra points if sbi foster him and try to hide the fact they’re heroes/villains but are doing extremely badly yet tommy is dumb dumb man

Like Tommy literally has no powers, nothing to his name, just normal guy, and like the story focuses on him and his mundane life, yet like in the background you see all these other characters who definitely have a way more exciting life but like its not about them!

But yeah I just wanna read some slice of life civilian!Tommy and heroes to the side kinda vibe

ANOTHER SUPERHERO AU

Alright everyone is “good” like they’re all gray characters

Sbi family dynamic cause we love to see it, now twist time

Sbi as villains and Tommy as hero in training

Boom! Radical! Plot twist!

Anyways so like you get your small serving of angst with the family thinking that once Tommy finds out that he will join the family business but nope kiddo over there has dreamed of being a hero

And like sbi are like “ no they’re bad! We’re good” or something and like Tommy is like yeah but I wanna be a hero

Extra points if he already registered and passed the exam to be a hero in training

Extra extra points if sbi believe in changing the hero organization from the outside, but tommy believes in changing from the inside, cause boy believes in the good within the heart or something sappy like that

Extra extra extra points if tommy becomes sbi’s favorite hero cause like he never gets hurt meanwhile everyone else gets slam dunked into the pavement

Because of this no one else messes with tommy

You get more angst with the heroes cause you learn that they are forced to ignore like the poorer district if they don’t want to be fired and then blacklisted as heroes

And like heroes leave and stuff but you get those few heroes that don’t because they, like tommy, want to change the system form the inside out, so they ignore instructions, send heroes to other districts, but overall their hands are tied

Extra extra extra extra points if Tommy gets the villains and heroes together to overthrow the current hero association to establish a new one run purely by heroes and not like higher up or something

Extra extra extra extra extra point if heroes and villains get together after something happens to Tommy

Side points: techno and dream have a rivalry that only intensifies when Dream becomes Tommy’s mentor (dream is good not evil, he a funky older brother figure)

The end

That’s all the ideas have! Feel free to write about them or whatever just tell me cause I really want to read them but like I suck at writing, I really only have drawing going for me

Might draw about it…

[speni-4]

ok ok so these are like 11pm melatonin induced ramblings but bare with me pls

(ive included different options for a few characters/put down masky/hoody/skully as separate entities to their hosts but just roll w it ok??)

ok so

alex/wilbur:

- they both have the super pretentious theatre kid/film student vibes

-arg!wil and operator!alex have super similar energy chaotic evil energy

-moves to america after giving jay tapes and meets amy/shubble there

(both ran!jay and tommy!jay fly to america and hotel hop while searching for wil)

jay/ranboo:

-is helping wil/alex pack up to move when he finds the tapes and asks to keep them (for gen loss)

-originally gen loss was supposed to be a horror project but turns into the MH channel; hence why no one takes what he’s posting about the operator and wilbur seriously

-ran gives off the vibes that he absolutely would do some of the dumb shit jay does

jay/tommy-

-helped wil film originally (while he was still living with his parents) and convinced wil to let him keep the tapes after wil tells him he plans to destroy them

-finds the tapes a few years after wil moved to america and tommy is packing up to move out to brighton

-starts reviewing footage for the nostalgia and creates MH channel to document and to reunite with wilbur

tim/niki:

-both are the only competent and level-headed members of the group

-gives off the vibes that theyre the only person who can actually hold down a job and live a vaguely normal/regulated life despite all the crazy shit happening

-both have tragic hero vibes (mental illness based but not in a glorifying or degrading way; iykyk 🤷‍♂️)

brian/jack:

-close friend of wil and tim (separately before filming)

-auditioned to act in MH and convinced niki to as well

-levity of the group

the operator/smajor:

for 2 reasons-

1) because he’s e v i l

and 2) the thought that, instead of the gang(tm) being stalked and driven to insanity/paranoia by a 7ft tall, faceless eldritch being, theyre being harrassed by fucking scott smajor is so unbelievably amusing to me. like. just imagine the tunnel/school/forest scenes with scott instead of the operator and tell me that isnt the funniest shit youve ever visualised

jessica/aimsey:

- (nblw / nblm solidarity w ran/jay👌)

-used to be roommates with amy (shubble) in alabama and didnt understand why they were worried when amy vanished

- would absolutely uno reverse wil during the tunnel scene in entry 76 (doesnt matter if hes a foot taller then them, aimsey would absolutely fucking topple that guy)

- despite being super disoriented/confused and not having their memories, they absolutely would catch onto jay’s (either tom or ran) weird vibes and that he was hiding something from them

seth/elodie:

-self-explanatory; wil’s cameraman and co-editor as well as another film student at their college

-first to disappear/become wil’s victim

-(obligatory “you brought your dog?!” dot point)

amy/shubble:

-self-explanatory characterisation-/story-wise tbh

-met wil online before MH was even conceptualised

-ex-roommates with aimsey/jessica (in alabama)

sarah/rhianna:

-both have the vibes that they would absolutely rip the shit out of wil if he was an asshole during filming MH (both teamed up w niki and individually)

-became somewhat close with niki during filming as they got along super well but stopped interacting after filming ended

masky/niki:

- for obvious story reasons (see: tim/niki)

-muscle of the TTA group

-would not hesitate to bludgeon a mans head in with a rock (loml fr)

masky/tom (prime):

-(the dude with the ski mask from the prime video streams)

- both non-verbal muscle of the group

hoody/ash:

-silent observer who documents everything

-imagine TTA but its literally just the monthly vlogs (without any of the cryptic editing or codes)

hoody/jack:

-i feel like this one is sorta self-explanatory

also!!

either skully/ran or skully/tommy just make sense for the vibes

Has anyone done a marble hornets au or assigned roles for JackManifold and his friends? Dude has been watching the series and I don’t think I’ve seen any au’s or putting these streamers in slender man esq scenarios.

I don’t have a list but Jack is either Alex or is Jay only if Niki is Jessica, purely for the team rocket duo.

Technoblade’s purpose in the political narrative of the Dream SMP

I can’t sleep so I decided to finally write the post I’ve been struggling with for literal months, except way more casual because I can’t be bothered anymore and also I’m sleep deprived.

So the thing is: to me the DSMP storyline has always been primarily political, probably because I was introduced to it through Wilbur who was definitely going for political, and also because I’m just generally interested in political narratives right now. Obviously I appreciate the character work and the personal relationship stuff, that’s what makes it more interesting than just dry allegory, but when it comes down to it, this story is about politics to me. So that’s the angle I’m going to approach it from.

Also not to spoil the conclusions here, but I’m an anarchist, that’s my lens.

(Obviously all of this is about rp from here on out unless otherwise specified)

Basically the situation as Techno joins the server is this: L'Manburg exists as an autonomous nation and is de facto independent although not officially recognised by the Dream SMP. The self-appointed president Wilbur Soot decides to hold an election and rig it in order to consolidate his power over the nation he founded and he gets his VP Tommyinnit to join in on the plan. Their scheme fails and they end up voted out instead. The new president, Schlatt, immediately establishes himself as an authoritarian figure and exiles Wilbur and Tommy.

A couple of points on what the election arc demonstrates:

1: the appearance of democracy can be used for distinctly undemocratic purposes.

2: even if the elections aren’t rigged, the electoral system could be massively flawed and end up favouring a party that in fact didn’t have the popular vote

3: even if the winning government (the coalition in this case) has the majority vote, that doesn’t guarantee that they’ll actually act according to the popular will.

4: the supporters of the losing parties basically just have to let the majority overrule their wishes, espcially since apparently L’Manburg doesn’t have an established role for an opposition, yikes. That’s actually a MAJOR oversight in the system but I’m not gonna go into that too much.

5: frankly as an anarchist I am just deeply cynical towards representative democracy, and just because you have a token appearance of choice and consent doesn’t mean that it isn’t a hierarchical and authoritarian system. And to be fair, from my point of view this applies even to so-called liberal democracies and progressive parties. Full disclosure: even if L'Manburg was the ideal example of a representative democracy (which it very much isn’t) I would still be opposed to it because I fundamentally do not believe in top down systems, even electoral ones.

6: despite all these flaws, all the characters seem to implicitly accept the electoral system as legitimate. There’s criticism against the actions of individual characters acting within the system, such as Quackity calling out Wilbur for trying to rig the election, but nobody is questioning the system itself.

So at this point I’m sitting there, watching all this go down, and thinking “man, this would be so much more bearable if there was an anarchist point of view being represented in the story.”

And hey, look who IMMEDIATELY SHOWS UP.

Okay, I’m not gonna lie, early installation Technoblade is not the best representation of anarchism. I was mostly rooting for him out of sheer contrarianism initially. I didn’t really even care if it would be another Killmonger/Magneto/Zaheer situation because I’m used to reading against the authorial intent when it comes to these things. Sometimes any representation is better than no representation, even with political ideologies. That’s not to say that him just straight up spouting this hobbesian notion of a “dog-eat-dog world” didn’t grate on me, obviously it did.

That kind of worldview of humanity needing authority in order to prevent chaos and conflict is literally antithetical to anarchism and is the favourite talking point of authoritarians, the least anarchist people there are. It’s literally what people use to argue AGAINST anarchism. I think it’s mostly because cc!Techno obviously wasn’t particularly educated on anarchist thought and was just basically having fun roleplaying with his friends at this point. Which is frustrating but fair enough I guess.

Cynical ideas about human nature are pretty deeply rooted in the mainstream, unfortunately, most people just consider it common sense. And like I said, it’s a huge talking point in the propaganda against anarchism.

(… even though in fact these arguments were originally used against proponents of representative democracy. Hobbes himself was very much a monarchist, the idea of letting normal people vote for their representatives would have been terrifying to him. Like surely the world would descent into a free-for-all war, all against all. Imagine letting commoners have OPINIONS, the horror.)

So yeah, that stuff was pretty ehhhhh. It was basically what I’d expected though: cc!Techno isn’t an anarchist and we just don’t get accurate representation from non-anarchists, ever. What I dared to hope was that Techno’s character would at least stay consistent about his opposition to ALL governments. I was pretty sure that he would, even though it seemed like the majority of the fandom at the time was convinced that he would switch over to Schlatt’s side or something. It would have been a really shitty twist, I would have ragequit immediately. I mean what would have been the entire point of his character then? He might as well have been a random mercenary. Why even have his character be an anarchist if you were just going to make him work for a government?

(ftr this is kinda my biggest problem with the Hypixel Skyblock revolution event lol, honestly I think that was a worse depiction of anarchism than early DSMP Technoblade. I mean the speech was good, but… still became a government official, tho. booooooooo, cringe)

And yes, I was rooting against L'Manburg, obviously, and I would have even if it had meant having to deal with another badly written anarchist villain character. I never understood why people saw L'Manburg as the good guys, they were nationalist and exclusionary and their whole existence was based on trying to scam people for money.

I mean they were definitely funny, they were great entertainers. I have no problems with people rooting for them because they’re fun to watch; I did that for a bit too. But people were starting to get really into the story and talk about Wilbur and Tommy, the corrupt politicians, and the country that literally excluded people based on nationality as the heroes, unironically, which was wild to me. And when Wilbur started his “villain arc” well: people called it a villain arc, as if he hadn’t been pretty much a bad guy from the beginning, constantly just out for money and power and taking advantage of the people around him and then pretending to be the victim when challenged. I mean yes he got worse, but I wouldn’t call it a villain arc, more like just a mental breakdown arc.

More importantly, to me L'Manburg represented so many things I hate about the status quo in real life, and seeing the fandom mostly unquestioningly accept it as good just pissed me off. Still pisses me off tbh. I mean, to be diplomatic I could say that I understand the emotional attachment and the way L'Manburg was built up mirrors a lot of how real nations are built and how they create a sense of patriotism out of symbols and a sense of honour and loyalty, and it’s actually really fascinating how it even works in a Minecraft roleplay. Says something about the human mind I guess. Doesn’t mean I have to like it though.

Anyway, I just wanted to see literally any kind of opposition to power, even if it had to come from a character that was unquestionably a villain, which I fully assumed Techno would be. Because political narratives so often just leave us out, or at best barely mention us. And even from a narrative point of view, adding an anarchist perspective to a political story just objectively broadens its scope and actually challenges people who are used to only arguing along the lines of conservative or liberal, welfare state or privatization, nationalism or multiculturalism, etc. Even if the original work dealt with it poorly, at least it would give me the excuse to rant about it on Tumblr, which is kinda why I revived my old Minecraft sideblog for this. (That and pig!Techno fanart.)

Also how can you have a story so fundamentally about power without its counterpoint: the rejection of power?

(Yes, Dream SMP as a whole is definitely a narrative about power, it’s a huge theme for Wilbur, Quackity, Dream, Eret and the Badlanders at least, as well as obviously the anarchist characters from the opposite direction.)

So yeah, the build up to November 16th for me was mainly about the anticipation for what Techno would do, how would Techno’s character respond to the seemingly inevitable formation of a new government. THAT was the point of interest for me, that was what I was the most invested in. Would we get an actual anarchist opposition as a new side to the conflict or would they just awkwardly drop that whole angle? Or even have him team up with Schlatt like a complete sellout? There was so much potential but I worried they might just waste it.

And I was right to worry since apparently in the original script Techno wasn’t supposed to do anything, he was just there to help fight Schlatt and witness the explosion along with everyone else.

And WOW that would have been so incredibly boring

Not even just from the political perspective, just talking about the narrative in general terms here: imagine November 16th without Techno’s plot points. Not only would it have been boring for Techno’s character but it would have been equally boring for basically everybody but Wilbur and Philza. An anticlimactic fight followed by a big explosion that pretty much everybody had seen coming already. Yes, the button room scene is dramatic and heartbreaking… for Wilbur and Phil. But nobody else was there to see it. For everybody else, it was just a big explosion. It would have been such a huge disservice to anyone watching the other POVs.

Techno’s intervention gave everyone an ACTUAL climactic fight, it allowed characters other than Wil and Phil to witness some actual drama happening and to participate in it, rather than just waiting around for the explosion, while also foreshadowing the explosion. Even better, it provoked SO MUCH discussion in the fandom AND gave a perfect hook for future conflicts to arise. Wilbur’s end was tragic but it was, at the time, final. L'Manburg would have still suffered a catastrophe but it would have been left with just the same exact antagonist as before: Dream.

And at this point Dream’s core goals had barely changed, just his approach was now different. Yes, that makes a difference for the plot, but it doesn’t really change much in terms of ideological conflict. Especially since there really isn’t that big of an ideological difference between Dream and Tommy, because arguably neither of them are particularly big on ideology in the first place, they just have conflicting goals and use different tactics to achieve those goals (well, the tactics aren’t always even that different *cough Spirit cough*).

Techno’s conflict with Tubbo and especially Quackity (and honestly most of the other characters in general) brings in so much more depth to the story, just by introducing another angle, not to even mention how much it brings to focus questions about power and violence. These are themes that exist in other characters’s storylines too but nowhere in the same way or as central as with Techno.

I’m getting kind of ahead of myself here, though.

The real twist of November 16th was the fact that Techno WASN’T a straight up villain, actually. It was a twist to me anyway, because with all my cynicism I just didn’t see it coming, I didn’t expect him to actually start making reasonable criticisms. I didn’t expect him to drop the hobbesian arguments entirely and start making points that actually sounded like anarchism.

I have to assume that cc!Techno must have seen some of the criticisms of his character and been inspired to adjust because the difference is pretty notable.

(Sidenote: I’m just forever kinda sad that Techno’s “I may seem like the villain here” monologue was cut from the video and most people never heard it.)

And I felt SO validated by the way, because it works so well in the story! Everyone is mostly content with the restoration of a status quo of some sort, Schlatt is gone, this is supposed to be the good ending, and then Techno calls them all out and turns the narrative around completely: This was just a coup d'état. This was just the previous political leadership retaking power by force. Why is everyone celebrating the same exact system that lead to Schlatt’s authoritarian rule in the first place?

What he does there is force the audience to question the narrative they’ve been presented so far, that they’ve accepted without a thought. It might not convince them, but they can’t just ignore it either.

Whatever you wanna say about the discourse around Techno on that day, in the ideological narrative THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART. Not who betrayed who or when is political violence justified, that’s about personal relationships and morality and it’s mostly all more relevant to the aftermath than the event itself. In my opinion, the REAL point in the moment is that the characters and the audience were comfortable with the ending only to be presented with a completely new perspective on the events.

It also recontextualises the finale, including Wilbur’s actions! It’s a much more ambiguous end to the Pogtopia vs Manburg arc and to Wilbur’s original run as the head writer. Wilbur’s “even with Tubbo in charge I don’t think [that ‘special place’] can exist again” is vague enough to be dismissed as just part of his paranoia and internal conflict, but with Techno, there’s a concrete question: what if Tubbo, given the same powers as Schlatt, will turn out to be just a new Schlatt? And suddenly you have to wonder what Wilbur meant by his words too. And was all this foreshadowing something about L’Manburg’s future?

Okay I’ve only made it to November 16th and there’s so much more DSMP to talk about but the post is getting too long and I’m starting to lose my energy. Will I ever make a part two? No idea. But I’ll try.

Standard disclaimer: I’m not the spokesperson of anarchism, other anarchists might disagree with my reading

SBI Fic Rec pt.2

Tommyinnit's clinic for supervillains by bonesandthebees

Ongoing/80k/ 12/? chapters

Summary: “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out. Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.” “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?” “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?” “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).

So good. Cannot praise this fic enough. Healer!Tommy with his endless amount of kindness and empathy starts healing villains and unintentionally creates Tommy Protection Squad made up of the worst villains in the city (with Wilbur/Siren as the president of the fanclub)

To Decay Gracefully by SilverWing15

Completed/12k/8/8 chapters

Summary: Wilbur’s eyes burn with tears. Here is this kid, this fucking sixteen year old kid, who died. Alone and scared and helpless, and now he’s a fucking ghost. He’s trapped in the house of the man who killed him, ceaselessly hiding in the closet, waiting for the monster to come and get him. Its been ten fucking years and Tommy is worried about Tubbo. “He got away,” Wilbur says. ‘You didn’t he thinks, ‘you didn’t and its such a goddamned tragedy because you could have been great. You would have been great. If only someone had given you the chance. If only that chance wasn’t taken away from you.’OR: Phil and his sons are reapers, called to a quaint little house in the countryside. It is their duty to help the lost soul move on, but they find more things far more haunting than a ghost locked in this house

It's Silver. I can literally recommend any fic from their series and I can guarantee it will be good. But this fic specifically made me actually sob. So yes, gets pretty angsty but has a happy ending (as much as there can be considering Tommy is already dead you know). So beautifully written.

a saint bernard sits (satanic and chained up) by anxielin

Ongoing/15k/10/? chapters

Summary: Tommy is being sold on the black market as a direwolf, and someone takes interest. The problem? He isn't a direwolf, or even a standard wolf— he's a wolf-shifter, stuck in his animal form to keep his deadly secret from being exposed.

Werewolf!Tommy having to pretend to be a dog because he is scared if the SBI find out they will kill him before finding out that the SBI just want to Help Him. Copious amounts of hurt/comfort. Tommy slowly learning to be a part of the family in wolf form and now as a human.

Mischief and Mayhem by SilverWing15

Completed/7k/1/1 chapters

Summary: He is shaking now, but he isn’t cold. He fastens shackles around his wrists, his fingers fumble with the key. This is a stupid idea, this is his only idea. His only hope of surviving. The weight of the shackles is familiar, like an old friend. The creak of the cage door, like a song he knows by heart. He tosses the key into one of the nearby fires, hoping that it will be lost in the ashes. He looks enough like a prisoner, like a human, that it could work. It could save his life. Or he’s cornered and chained himself, but it isn’t as though Tommy would stand a chance against demon hunters anyway

Half!Demon Tommy is rescued by demon hunters SBI and has to pretend to be a human as he believes they will kill him if they find out. Tommy's fear and how its eventually soothed is written so well. Once again. The hurt/comfort on this one is exquisite. I love how Tommy's and Wilbur's relationship is written in this and it also feeds my need for possessive Wilbur.

Blood and Thunder by Anonymous

Ongoing/36k/10/? chapters

Summary: "Please," Tommy whispers. His knees give out beneath him and he crumples at the feet of the most powerful group of ghouls in all of L'manberg. "Please let me go. I- I don't want to die." "Oh, mate." The tone is soft, breathed through barely parted lips. Hands cup Tommy's face and it's tipped back, forced to meet red, hungry eyes. "We're not going to hurt you. We're here to save you." Tokyo Ghoul Inspired au

For those that don't know what Tokyo Ghoul is: this fic gets really gory about eating human body parts. But I love how the world-building is done and how Tommy's character development is written. It's Dark!SBI and by that I mean that they murder people for fun and are not hang-up about it. But they would also kill and die for Tommy and I'm soft for that so they can have a little cannibalism and murder, as a treat.

The Other Side

I bullshitted this fic out of my ass, I don't have plans I only know what happens after this part of the fic so eiehenwkak enjoy-

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

Dream was out again. Once more saving the world with other superheroes of his same class, while Tommy was stuck at home having to watch the action on the news. Dream wasn't the only person with superpowers, Tommy had powers too- but for whatever reason he wasn't allowed to join the action with his brother, none of the schools for heros would even accept him (even with one of the top heros as his brother)! It was annoying to say the least.

At the moment Tommy was still annoyed as previously stated, as he sat on the floor eating cereal, watching his brother on TV fight two new villains. One of them was able to teleport at a moment's notice, and the other had wings that helped him to fly. The one with wings also had a gun that kept shooting weird thorn things and goggles that Tommy noticed the lense one would get smaller at times (maybe they could zoom in? He didn't know). It was easy to lose track of Dream in all the chaos, not just with the amount of things happening (teleporting, shooting, fire, and vines going everywhere) but also because his brother was at the moment shifted to look exactly like the winged villain; the two of them were currently flying around, and he couldn't tell who but one of them was being chased by the other.

Tommy didn't worry though, he knew the fight would be over soon and Dream would be back home… to force him to do homework- fuck. Just as he let out an annoyed groan at this realization, George's vines had finally wrapped up both villains and effectively trapped them- at least that's what it looked like.

Tommy couldn't hear them talking through the TV, but he could see them. The kid may not know how to read lips but he knew there was more to this fight than what happened. He ignored the reporter talking over everything, congratulating the heros on another win, only focusing on the two villains wrapped in vines.

One of them could teleport, there was no way they were trapped. And as if on cue both of the villains seemingly disappeared from sight. One leaving behind purple particles, the other just gone. Tommy focused on a black dot that flew across the screen, but shrugged it off. Probably a glitch or a bug.

"-this just goes to show the heroes always-" The reporter's voice cut out as someone came into view of the small corner recording on the screen. "What- but-" he whispered "okay-" The reporter cleared his throat and forced a smile before continuing to the camera, but looked into Tommy's eyes. "It would seem the foes have escaped, for now. The heroes are hot on their tails though and can promise a quick capture of the two causing problems at the Toy Store warehouse. For now, let's take a look at our story about the pup-" Tommy turned off the TV.

If Dream would just let him help this wouldn't happen. They both knew that- Dream had literally been the one to teach him how to control his powers, how could that bitch even think for a second he couldn't fight crime!? He literally beat Dream in spades all the time because of his powers! He'd literally crushed an entire metal cage for fucks sake- why couldn't he fight crime!? It was so fucking annoy-

There was a hard crunch in Tommy's mouth. "Shit not again…" The kid mumbled as he spit out the end of the spoon into his hand. It was the fifth thing this month he'd accidentally broken. Tommy let out a long sigh as he went to the kitchen, throwing away the broken spoon and the rest of his cereal before starting to wash his bowl.

A nagging voice in the back of his head that sounded like Dream kept saying "This is why you shouldn't get worked up, you can't control it-" meh meh meh meh, he didn't care. Tommy pushed those thoughts away as he finished washing and gently put the bowl away. As the blond walked back into the living room the door opened and there stood a hero wearing green and white.

"You broke another spoon again." Dream said as soon as he spotted Tommy.

"No-" Tommy quickly tried to lie.

"Tommy, you're strong but your skin isn't impenetrable, there's blood in your mouth!" And when Tommy wiped his lips he did indy find the residue of blood left on his hand.

"Shit."

"You gotta stop getting so worked up, you're going to end up hurting yourself or someone else-" As Dream spoke the familiar words he closed and locked the door, quickly moving forward to start rubbing the blood off of Tommy's face.

Tommy tried to push and smack Dream away, "I'm fucking fine- worry about your suit bitch, your getting it all stained!"

"I don't care- stop trying to fight me right now! You can take out your anger later-" Dream shoved Tommy down onto the couch and continued to make sure their face was clean.

"Alright cool- are you finally gonna give me a suit so I can fight those people that escaped?" Tommy grabbed Dream's wrists and watched as his brother's brows furrowed in frustration.

"N- no! Tommy, I already told you, you can't fight crime with me-"

"And why not? You know I'm strong, stronger than any strength enhanced hero! I can do it!" Dream pulled back and backed up to stand in front of the TV.

"I know- but- you just can't-" The hero tried to reason, even taking his mask off to show his emotions more.

"Right. I can't because you don't want me to." Tommy stood, "I can't because all the hero schools mysteriously rejected me-" he made strides across the room towards Dream, "even though THE BEST HERO is my fucking brother! I can't because you say I can't!!!" The blond harshly poked a finger into the middle of Dream's chest. Not holding back.

Dream stumbled back and clutched at where he'd been poked. He fell back onto the TV, starting to cough and a little blood coming out. Tommy put his hands over his mouth as Dream just focused on controlling his breathing and trying not to cough up more blood.

"Shit- Dream I'm sorry-"

"It- it's fine, just get me the medkit please…" Dream's voice came out raspy and weak as he limply fell to sit on the floor. Tommy nodded before rushing off, getting the small kit from the bathroom and quickly bringing it back to Dream.

Dream took the kit and pushed on the back where a syringe was hidden. He took it and jabbed it into where Tommy had poked him, then sighed in relief. Tommy knew what that was, that was a syringe filled with a special healing serum that only Bad could make biologically- all the heroes had at least one hidden in their houses somewhere in case they ever needed it.

"Are you okay…?" Tommy hesitantly asked as he sat on the floor with his brother.

"Yeah I'm fine…." Dream took one look at Tommy and let out a sad sigh. "C'mere-" The kid didn't hesitate, as soon as Dream's arms were open he hugged them- being much more careful this time. "Are you okay though?"

"Yeah- obviously." Tommy huffed, trying to sound annoyed even though he was really worried right now. "Why would big man Tommyinnit not be okay?"

"Okay… because if you weren't I was gonna make cookies tonight, but if you're fine-"

"No wait! Hold on now!" Tommy pulled out of the hug. "You never said anything about cookies!!!" Dream laughed.

"Chocolate chip?"

"Yes please." Dream nodded and carried Tommy into the kitchen.

•••

Later that night everything had finally calmed down a bit. Both of the brothers were full of cookies and in bed. Although Dream had fallen asleep long ago, Tommy was still awake. It was three A. M.

At first he had only stayed up because his own emotions were bothering him, but now he was awake because there was an annoying buzzing in his room. "What the fuuuuuuuuck-" Tommy groaned as he wrapped his pillow around his head and squeezed his eyes shut to try and block out the noise.

The noise only got louder until it stopped right in front of Tommy's face. The blond took a deep breath and got ready to squish a bug as soon as his eyes were open.

Tommy lowered the pillow and lifted his hands, then opened his eyes and-

"HOLY SHIT THAT'S NOT A-" He started to shout as soon as he saw a tiny person with wings, but before he could finish his sentence they had panicked and flown forward to hold his lips shut.

"Shit up- I don't want that hero to hear-" The tiny person whispered, and Tommy was confused at first before it clicked.

"You're-" As Tommy started talking the person fell back and scrambled away from his mouth, "that person Dream was fighting earlier!" Tommy whisper shouted.

"....Mmmmmaaaybe, but that all depends on if you'll take my offer." The small person backed up more.

"Well that depends on what you're offering-" Tommy was quick to grab them in his fist. He wasn't letting them fly away just yet.

"O- oh uh-" The tiny person squirmed in his fist and he noticed how worried they were. But Tommy knew better than to just let go of something if he grabbed it. "Well- well u- uh-" They cleared their throat. "I heard you and that hero arguing earlier, and I think I might be able to help-"

"What do you mean? Are you letting me turn you in?"

"No!" The villain piped up. "No, no no no, I can help you by letting you help me."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tommy squeezed his fist a bit, worried now that this tiny had something planned.

The small being helped and squirmed more, looking up at Tommy fearfully. "I- I mean- uh- well, you can prove that you're able to fight people with powers by fighting people with powers. Join me and my friend i-in fighting heroes, to sh- show Dream that you can handle yourself!"

"Hmmm" Tommy put his free hand to his chin as he thought. On one hand, this could work and really prove that Tommy could be a hero and didn't need Dream, but on the other hand- "You are villains though… how do I know you're not using me?"

"Well- uh- we don't really need your help- I can leave right now and you won't see me ever again." The tiny shrugged. "But I'd you give us a chance then you can judge for yourself if we're trustworthy- so what do you say?"

"I….." He hesitated. "I won't have to hurt anyone, right?"

"Of course not!" The tiny put in, squirming some more. "Me and Ranboo are probably about the same age as you anyways- trust me, you can trust us!"

"... Okay, but just for one night I'll see if you can be trusted." He opened his hand and watched as the tiny immediately flew out and towards the window.

"That's all I need to hear! Meet us in the alley two blocks from here tomorrow night!" And with that, the tiny person was gone.
