do you ever think about how selfless c!karl is? like, to a fault? he gives and gives and gives but he so rarely takes for himself.
karl cares so deeply for his friends and his fiancΓ©s (well, when he could remember them both). and i think that’s a big part of why he switched sides mid-war. even after Schlatt had annexed his own country (rutabagville), he switched sides to support them. and then he says himself when mexican l’manburg was created that it was his favorite place because that’s where his friends were, nevermind his home and party island in l’manburg. karl dies for mexican l’manburg. he literally sacrifices a life for his country and his friends, which is probably the ultimate act of selflessness.
and then he starts time traveling and he does have something for himself but he still protects others. he tries to save the people in the times he travels to and protect his friends from the weight of his secret all at once. he builds a new country so he can keep going back and helping people and doesn’t let anyone know about how his memory is deteriorating because it’s nobody’s burden but his.
i think that’s something that makes this decision between the inbetween and the other side so difficult. he’s drawn to the other side because it’s the selfless option, in his eyes. he gets to save so many people throughout the history and future of the server. literal lives lay in his hands. the inbetween is the more β€œselfish” option. it’s the option that preserves him and the one that’s he’s not compelled to take until he thinks about his friends. he knows that his memory loss could hurt them and that they’d be upset if he was just gone all the time. the inbetween would let him keep them in his life. as much as karl wants to choose the more selfless option, he finds the β€œselfish” one compelling for selfless reasons.
karl is selfless and that’s what makes this decision so difficult.

here’s a side by side just for fun also, because i actually put THOUGHT into a drawing for once and i wanna talk about it because i don’t think very often so i’m proud of myself when i do
random note that isn’t very important is that the background is exactly the same in both drawings !! i even made sure the sun and the moon are exactly the same size (big)
the chromatic aberration around the edges of the second drawing isn’t as intense mainly just to add to the lighter airier feeling, while in the first drawing it’s more intense because Emotions and shit. it makes sense in my head
speaking of airiness !! every part of scott that can be floating a lil is. it’s rlly just his hair, the weird gossamer thing ? (idk what it actually is lol) and the. i don’t wanna call it a loin cloth idk what you would call that. i think it was originally a skirt thing i might’ve forgotten some parts of it oh well. i only did like 4 days of a fashion design course and no part of it covered this okay okay. anyways this is also part of why his wings are up in the air like they are! just adds to the floaty vibe i think
ANOTHER reason his wings are in the air is because i wanted him to take up much more of the canvas this time. in the first one he’s small and all close to the ground, a much more defeated version of practically the same pose as in the second drawing (kneeling with his eyes closed and hands by his sides) while in the second he’s much more in control of what’s happening to him and confident of his powers and so like. big = confidence
there isn’t actually any significance in the difference between the halos besides the second one looks more like a sun while the first is just spikes lol. tho if u wanna be pretentious u could interpret it as his head being clearer and him not being stuck inside his own mind so much. idk
[also don’t reblog this please thank you]

for the dvd commentary thing, this bit from lent!
(Quackity has never killed before. He has now. This, he thinks, looking at hands permanently etched with invisible blood, is something that doesn’t ever go away.
He wonders a few things about that invisible blood. If he can wash it off, is one; if there is some holy fount strong enough to erase the stains. If hands folded in prayer and washed in water counter the sins committed with them.
The other thing is to wonder if he is, maybe, righteous in all of this. In the moment with a bowstring touching his cheek and an arrow about to be loosed, he had felt something like holy himself.)
fun fact lent by autoheart came on my spotify just as i went to answer this ask. talk about perfect timing.
THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS REN!! so lent (or, β€˜for lent this year, give up your lofty ideals and embrace the carnage of holiness!’) is my least read dsmp fic but one of my favorites anyway. i spent a lot of time cleaning up the lines and editing word choice, and i’m VERY happy with a lot of quotes out of it. including this one: β€œIn the moment with a bowstring touching his cheek and an arrow about to be loosed, he had felt something like holy himself.” the themes in that oneshot very much are about the corrupting force of anger and violence, and the disguise of those things as something righteous and good. the whole fic is one big unreliable narrator too - do we trust quackity’s point of view here? was it righteousness when he killed schlatt? what about any other moment throughout the fic that he displays that β€œholy” rage? it’s a question, and an exploration of a theme, not an answer. i had a lot of fun setting it up that way on purpose!
another fun metaphor thing is the idea that quackity has blood stained on his hands throughout the entire fic. that β€œinvisible blood” is his own anger and guilt, and it grows throughout his history until the point later on when he says it’s not just on his hands anymore - β€œIt’s in his mouth and down his throat, in his stomach and in his guts and in every part of him. A baptism is not enough to wash it away.” - his whole self is corrupted, in some way, by those stains of blood. he compares the blood to wine as well, and there’s another bit at the end - β€œThere is no water holy enough to wash him, so he doesn’t bother with water at all.” - and that’s a fun little bible reference there. something about water being something cleansing, but water is not enough for him now; with the references of β€œblood like wine,” we can look at that good ol’ miracle of water turned to wine and find our answer of what it is that he’s referring to instead - q’s baptism is in blood. giving up lofty ideals and embracing the carnage of holiness, indeed.
[ send me a snippet of my writing and i’ll give you commentary on it! ]

Would you give any advice to novice dsmp authors or fic writers? Like what could be helpful for those that are new to writing for this kind of Fandom? As well as for a few characters like example c!Sam or c!dream. Thank you for your time.
Hmm I'll do my best, but I'll admit writing advice is not my forte!
To start, here is a handy guide to writing dialogue for a ton of dsmp characters, although for me personally, I tend to just watch their lore and just, copy their style of speaking pretty much? But idk if that works for everyone. As for getting started, my first dsmp fic I basically wrote one scene I would've liked to see in canon, at the time Tommy and Techno talking while Tommy was first exiled, and that evolved into seven chapters! You don't have to start with any big over-arching plot, starting small is okay! It can just be a single scene, or something you wish they explored more in canon, anything! And I tend to write pretty in-universe stuff, I haven't attempted any au fics so far, I prefer writing stuff based on canon, that way you can let canon sort of guide your narrative!
As for specifics– Writing c!Sam, knowing his moral compass is key, I've found. As well as understanding that his strength is largely a facade and deep down he's terrified. Here's a great meta post about the way his stupid little brain works.
And for c!Dream, you know the go-to metaphors, everything is a game to him. He thinks he's a god, and he weighs every choice like a chess move or like poking an animal with a stick just to see what happens. Dream isn't childlike, but he is childish in my book. He wants to win and he treats other people as things to entertain him. Now, if you're looking at in-prison Dream– He's terrified. Quackity leaves him powerless and scared, and he doesn't know how to deal with that, but that doesn't make him any less calculating. The Dead Don't Dream is my interpretation of pre-prison Dream at his peak evil, but as for how I view prison!Dream, if you want some idea of how I see him in that state, I have this oneshot, Is your blood as red as this? and there's a lot of prison!Dream content in my Awesamdude-centric fic Rocks That Bleed which is also where you can see more of how I interpret Awesamdude. These are just how I've decided to play around with these characters, not necessarily the right way! I'm pretty sure there are clips out there of cc!Dream and cc!Sam talking about their characters, although I don't have any handy, I'm afraid. And checking out the tags for their characters on @/dsmpanalysis can give you some more ideas for how other folks view them!

Gwen’s home is actually pretty monochrome. The colours of furniture, countertops, and appliances being a combination of cool grey and black tonesβ€” But they do have plants placed throughout the space, so it brings in a bit of colour! Given that it’s an apartment, though, they can’t change too much. The space itself is large, as far as apartments go, so Gwen has space to move around in. Bookshelves are lined with different books, journals, and whatever other knick knacks they could find. They don’t really do much here; aside from working, sleeping, and sketching if they have timeβ€” they mostly try to keep themselves out of the house, if at all possible. But its still good to have their own space.
As for clothing, they store each piece separately. Their room is one of the bigger spaces in the apartment, so they took advantage and filled it up. Their closet is filled with all kinds of pretty shirts~ From lace, to ones with frilly sleeves, to a combination of the two. They have a dresser for socks, underwear, and any other miscellaneous items (including corsets :3). Then a completely seperate one just for pants. They have a bad habit of buying clothing when they don’t really need it, but if it’s pretty then they’re buying it.
They actually cut they’re hair! On their 19th birthday, they decided to give themselves a haircutβ€” call it a fresh start of sorts (fitting, given they were born on New Year’s). It’s a shorter hairstyle, one that doesn’t go past their neck. They’ll either just wear it as is, or have a β€˜half up-half down’ vibe going for them. They’ve decided now they don’t have as many appearances to hold up, they can let their hair rest in its natural state, and take care of it way better than they had been.

β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€.Β°β™’Β°. ───────┐
They’re generally dismissive when it comes to stressful situations. So they never really actually deal with them, but just tell themselves that β€˜It’s not stressful,’ β€˜You aren’t actually stressed,’ or β€˜This is normal.’ But if it’s an emotion that’s causing them stress, they’re evasive. Running and hiding until the feeling goes away. If stressed enough, though, they might breakdown. They push and compact everything into such a tight box, that if something’s just a little too much, or their general β€˜tactics’ don’t work, they fall over the edge.

33 // 【 Do they drink? Take drugs?Β What about their health? 】
β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€.Β°β™’Β°. ───────┐
Gwen doesn’t like alcohol, they hate the substance actually. Given their position, they kept having drinks shoved in their face, with no choice but to drink, from a very young age. Alcohol’s known to affect a child’s brain development. (there are drinking ages in place for a reason.)This, along with the negative feelings they have associated with it, make them physically ill whenever it’s mentioned or offered to them. But there are cases where they have to keep up appearances, or just have no other escape, where they may drink enough to numb their senses. They don’t take any drugs.
As for health, thoughβ€” they have a few conditions, so they take medications. They have anaemia and asthma, those are the biggest ones; so they have iron supplements and asthma medications, as well a nebuliser and inhalers if the need calls for them. HRT is also a treatment they’ve committed to, though they prefer gel treatments rather than injections or pills. After their incident with Richter, they were on several different medications for heart complications, and so it could beat correct, but they no longer take them. (as for previous proceduresβ€” they’ve had top surgery >:3, but the scarring was minimal, and healed up nicely.)

β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€.Β°β™’Β°. ───────┐
Their voice drifts between feminine and masculine a lot, and it’s actually hard to put into words how I’ve been imagining their voice sounding?? So I have voice claims! The voices for both female and male Altmer in Skyrim both fit Gwen quite well. (because of the fluctuation, punctuation, and accentβ€” and because one of Gwen’s parents was an Elf T~T)
Julianne Buescher β€” Female Altmer
Neil Dickson β€” Male Altmer
I’d say for their normal, run of the mill speaking voice, it’s a mixture/in between of the two. But depending on the situation at hand, it drifts more towards feminine and masculine.

Hello.
What is Karl's lore outside of tftsmp.
I have watched tftsmp but outside of that I only seen a few clips and 1 library building stream (that bbh mostly did)
hi! so most of the lore karl does now is tftsmp and what you watched w the building stream was part of a series that was mostly just building that i think he was callingΒ β€œafter the tales” which is probably what you’d look up to find them? there isn’t any good playlists of his dsmp streams/lore that i’ve see unfortunately. you can probably cherry pick his vods from the massive feral boys vods playlist, try this karl vods playlist, or find early stuff byΒ looking on archive.org and sorting by 2020
but it’s also worth noting that he did lore before tftsmp started, it was just more along the line of improv lore. vod links and specific info are below the cut but here are some general things that are essential to his character beyond tftsmp:
his involvement in manberg and switching to help pogtopia in the war (+his country, rutabagville)
his relationship with first sapnap that became a polyam relationshup between him, sapnap, and quackity
sacrificing a canon life to establish the independence of el rapids
establishing kinoko kingdom with george and sapnap
i’ll be honest with you and say that i haven’t seen all of his early dsmp vods but he was involved in the manberg era and famously switched sides mid-war (he has a bit where he says that he was always on pogtopia’s side). he actually moderated part of the debate between POG2020 and SWAG2020 if you’ve seen that (here’s quackity’s vod).Β  here’s a few random vods i can think of from pre nov 16:
karl and sap build eiffel tower for honeymoon
building haunted mansion
karl establishing a country called rutabagville
election day
i can’t find his nov 16 vod :( but he was on other ppl’s streams
he also was involved in rebuilding l’manburg and generally was part of new l’manburg, doing a bunch of building during that era.
my favorite of his early lore, though, comes from the mexican l’manburg/el rapids arc which you want watch in its entirety HERE (you can skip the first vod). he’s not in the early parts of this arc and joins the country a bit late.Β the stream that is most essential to his lore though is actually a quackity stream, where he loses a canon life. i recommend all of it though because it’s awesome improv lore and super interesting imo.
he also appeared on a bbh egg stream and was defending quackity once but i can’t for the life of me remember when that was
karl’s lore is super interesting but sometimes hard to find because a lot of it happens on other people’s streams (especially quackity and sapnap’s) and so many off his vods were lost to time. you can read about a lot of it on his wiki page though too!Β

so like
this is my just typing out what i think, also forgive the mess cause im not organized its not supposed to beΒ 
so if ur reading this im sorry (and this isnt a callout, i dont have your username or any of your social media info in here and everything is blocked out, im trying to heckin defend myself cause i hate being called a liar, why would i lie about something like this, also of course im upset. my mother tries to gaslight me and call me a liar and make me feel bad and mess with my brain so i hate being called a liar when im telling the truth and try to explain as best i can in my eyes)
it was not my intention to hurt you or anything
when i sent that about blizzworld and dva they wernt in the game blizzworld was gone for like 2 days and idk what was goin on so i did a bit of digging and sent u stuff about it??? i never said she was gone forever in my messages, that was what was happening then, and this isnt the first time blizzard did stuff like this, reinhart was removed with the torb changes like a while agoΒ 
if i was vauge or something couldent you have asked me to clear it up i would have? how was i supposed to know i did something wrong if you dont communicate with me and say i upset you in any way, it was not my intentionΒ 
or take a break and come back later instead of calling me a liar and names when i try to reach out to you
i was upset and crying and worried that something happened to youΒ 
you said i lied and said she was gone permanentlyΒ 
i did not ever say that on discord, i didnt say she was removed forever
here is the start of the confo when i messaged you about that
Tumblr media
that was me talking about what other people said about the apparent dva bug they removed her for? i linked the video to blizzworld that someone sent me , but i guess the video is deleted now when you tried to view it in ur timeframe so its gone it was a joke when i said |blizz broke their own game” cause that was the first time something in the game was so broken they had to remove a map and character at the same time (rein was the first i believe cause of glitch)
Tumblr media
when i saidΒ β€œoverwatch hates us they fucking deleted dvaΒ β€œ it was also a joke cause i heard rumors and people were talking about dva getting removed so i was just typing to express my confusion about wtf was going on with the game cause when i got on into a custom the blizzmap was gone for 2 days ???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
those were my last messages to you on discord , and that link i shared on tumblr that i reblogged was someone elses post about the dva breaking news, when i said they removed her on everything it was me talking about theΒ β€œregions” in that screenshot. i didnt know what was going on then.
the ??? wtf is going on thing i was typing i also also hella confused about whats going on and i dont say stuff right.
also i did not sayΒ β€œpermanentlyΒ β€œ my friend did when they tried to message you about it and express their feelings about it also. they sent me the screenshots and they didnt call you anything.
Tumblr media
and i asked them to message you cause you blocked me on everything and i was worried so i asked someone to message you to see if you were ok and why you blocked me cause i had no clue what happened and why i was blocked??? i thought something else happened. i did not send someone to harrass you. they didnt harrass you. they were trying to defend me ???Β 
Tumblr media
(also yeah im censoring all usernames to protect peoples privacy , except my own cause my friend is talking about me try to to defend me in the screenshot) cause this really seems unfair.Β 
so after the discord thing i asked my friend to message you then i also messaged you on instagram to try to ask what was going on. and thats where you called me a liar and started calling me and my friend names. im not sending the instagram screenshots.( though i think you blocked me on there already now)
iv tried to communicate and see what was going on and why??? and try to explain myself and apologize i was vauge. cause you just cut me off just like that. how am i also supposed to feel. i didnt mean to make you this upset. how much more proof do you need im trying to defend myself that im not a liar.Β 
how am i supposed to feel when i wake up one day to find out that a rly good close friend of mine just dropped me like trash??? i didnt even see that i did anything wrong. there wasent any argument or fight and i didnt understand??? like, no communication at all that you were upset with me in any way??? i really didnt understand what i did to make you that mad at me? like ,this just feels super unfair to me and why would i try to reach out to you if i wasent worried or didnt care about you. i apologized many times and you ignored my statments about blizzardworld, and the past mercy and genji skins also getting deleted that one time. i even sent you video proof. this isnt the first time blizzard did something like this??? so if you want to block me over this, i hope you stay safe and have a nice day. it was not my intention to hurt you in anyway and i honestly didnt even know what i did wrong when you first blocked me everywhere. i just think this is really unfair. those are my feelings. so im sorry if i was vauge or i misunderstood something. it just really hurts that you would drop me like this with no explanation and then call me names when i try to contact you to see if you are ok and try to explain. and now if you really wanna keep me blocked there is my explanation as best as possible that i had no intention of hurting you. why would i have intention to hurt you over something i didnt mean to.i thought you knew me well enough to know i mean well and that im sorry for upsetting you.Β 
thats all i guess.Β 
ill respect your wishes and not contact you again. i just wanted to give proof that i wasent lying.Β

β€œTime is a circle.” It bubbles out of him, a laugh, a sob, desperate and hysterical.
Wilbur stares. β€œWhat?”
Three years ago, his father murdered his mother in those woods, and they never found her. Wilbur shot him dead, and they both lied and said he’d done it to himself, and they never told anyone. They’re both cursed.
And now Karl tried to kill him.
The thought of it - blunt and real and settling into his head - startles another laugh, another sob, out of his mouth. Karl tried to kill him. Karl tried to kill him in the woods and no one would have found him.
Time is a circle.
β€œYou were right,” Quackity says. β€œYou were right. Time is a fucking circle. It’s always going to catch up with us.”
(dt!quackity lives in my head rent free!!!!!!)
HEHEHHE okay so if ur a fic writer you are probably well acquainted with the phenomenon of having A Sceneℒ️ in your head that happens way late in your story, so everything you write is like β€œjust a few more chapters until The Sceneℒ️” the entire time you write? this is The Sceneℒ️ in devil town. like, down to the exact snippet you picked out. quackity showing up on the sbi porch, soaked in rain and blood, a little hysterical in both tears and laughter, and the exact dialogue β€œtime is a circle. it’s always going to catch up with us in the end.”
i had this shit planned from DAY ONE, babey. that’s early early outline stuff, and BOY was i excited to finally get to write it when i did - this whole chapter took me one day to write. start to end. it was SO FUN.
a fun thing to pick out here is the use of the phrasing β€œno one found her / no one would’ve found him.” that’s a phrase that comes up a bunch in dt, because i wrote it in there on purpose! the people who say it are always people connected to the disappearances in the woods. the first use comes from q back in chapter two - β€œTommy is dead, Tommy is gone, they will never, ever find him.” other characters who say it are notably wilbur - β€œThey never find anyone in those woods.” - techno at least once, but interestingly his line is about himself, not someone else - β€œMaybe they’ll find him. Maybe he’ll be the first one they do find in these woods, suffocated to death by something growing in his chest right here over his brother’s bloodied jacket.” - and tubbo references it some point as well if i’m not mistaken.
they never find anyone in those woods. it’s a very hopeless phrase, and the ones who use it know exactly how hopeless it is. makes sense that quackity uses it the most!
[ send me a snippet of my writing and i’ll give you a commentary about it! ]

prev post is about the end of my middle school suffering but looking back on it i just. as someone with adhd, the fact that i didn't know what the hell that actually meant until after grade 8 (14 and a half yrs old) is just. i could've had so much of an easier time if someone explained to me what having adhd meant
almost Every day i broke down from sensory overload, and didn't understand how to cope or that there was a NAME for it.
i would get worked up because people didn't shut the hell up, and i tried to tell the teacher "i just want everything silent, i don't want noises" and they just responded with "well i can't make everything silent, there's going to be noises." and that was the end of it. i only started going to the guidance counselor's office regularly near the end of gr8. because before then i didn't understand that it was an option.
i went into highschool KNOWING what sensory overload was, and halfway through the year found an insta that explains things related to adhd. but only at the end of gr9 did i finally realize how much i should NOT have had to suffer before then. i had the knowledge of what i needed and. seeing how much of it i never had before then? you can TELL i'm fucking pissed about it.
schools NEED to educate people on, not just adhd, but neurodivergency as a whole because of experiences and unnecessary pain people like me have had to deal with
it's gonna take a long time to get it, but i seriously hope i live to see the day when it becomes a normal thing

for the dvd commentary, this bit of devil town? (i love devil town tubbo more than anything in this world btw)
Tubbo’s shaking, from the cold, from the ache in his chest, from the truth he’s letting Ranboo see, from all of it, he doesn’t know. β€œBecause that’s just what happens. People aren’t allowed to care about me, Ranboo. And I’m not allowed to care about them, because if I do, they leave. They either get up and go, or something takes them away, because I’m not allowed to keep hold ofΒ anyone.”
There are tears on his face again, but this time he doesn’t try to wipe them away. Ranboo’s eyes are sad.
β€œI’m really sorry,” he says quietly. β€œThat’sβ€”that’s really awful, I’m sorry, Tubbo.”
β€œI don’t even know why I’m telling you this,” Tubbo tells him. β€œMaybe to warn you. Y’know, let you know what you’re getting yourself into. Maybe you just wanna stop before you have to leave too.”
β€œI’m not going to leave,” Ranboo says. β€œTubbo, I know we’ve just met like, four days ago, but I care about you. You’re a good friend. I’m not going to just leave.”
β€œYou might not get a choice,” Tubbo says with a bitter laugh. β€œTommy didn’t.”
The laugh turns into another sob. He’s really not allowed to keep anyone he loves, is he?
AHHH yes this one. this chapter was simultaneously a bitch and a half to write, and also a breeze. i took like, four days to write the first 2k and then the remaining 8k in one afternoon, which admittedly doesn’t sound like that long when i put it that way BUT i was writing daily back then, so only getting out 500 words a day was misery. getting into tubbo’s headspace in particular was so difficult for me in the early half of dt, but this chapter is where i think i kind of hit my stride with him and really figured out what was going on.
there’s a lot of big confessions happening from him, in this chapter in general and in this snippet in particular. these lines illustrate the biggest of them:
β€œPeople aren’t allowed to care about me, Ranboo. And I’m not allowed to care about them, because if I do, they leave. They either get up and go, or something takes them away, because I’m not allowed to keep hold of anyone.”
and
β€œYou might not get a choice,” Tubbo says with a bitter laugh. β€œTommy didn’t.”
tubbo blames himself for tommy’s disappearance. we already know techno harbors guilt for it, and we generally know that tubbo is carrying some guilt of his own but what we’ve seen so far is the more β€œmanageable” guilt that tubbo staves off regarding their last argument. the deeper, harsher guilt that tubbo has is this: he believes that by value of caring for him, by exposure to his own β€œcurse” that causes him to be left behind again and again, he caused tommy’s disappearance. tommy loved tubbo, and that is what did this. as he says, you don’t get a choice to leave tubbo behind; it will happen no matter what.
this snippet is sad, anon! you picked a sad one.
[ send me a snippet of my writing, and i’ll give you a commentary about it! ]
