#maybe that's my March Project™ idk

[musical-chick-13]

The urge to talk about writing projects in excruciating detail, but also wanting SOMETHING to be a surprise when I finally finish them.

[your-local-crypt1d]

followed you simply for empires ctommy. I don’t even like empires but ctommy is my everything,,, any spare bits rattling around in that brain of yours

I have so many THOUGHTS about this dude you have no idea. Also, I do recommend watching Empires not because it's super similar to the dsmp but because it has its own disc war and Jimmy Solidarity is like Tommy but in a different font. Anyway,

My favourite idea I've had so far is cTommy punching transphobes in the face. Unlike the smp where it's like maybe 40-odd people trapped in a cursed land they cannot leave, Empires has citizens, it had loads of people. So like there's bound to be one person in the Grimlands who doesn't like their Count being a trans man. Tommy is having none of that though, he will clobber anyone who talks bad about fWhip while saying something badass like; "fWhip is twice the man you'll ever be"

Am I projecting heavily on that one? Yes.

Similarly, if you ever give anyone shit for Tommy's or anyone else's disability he will beat you with his prosthetic arm. I think on the smp, being disabled is a very common thing (hard of hearing/deaf people, amputees, nerve damage, blindness, etc) thanks to the constant wars, explosions and violence. I headcanon Tubbo to be almost entirely blind because of his execution, so Tommy will shout at you if you are rude to a blind person. He also absolutely knows sign language, which I've been calling MSL (minecraft sign language), so fWhip who is absolutely HoH thanks to being a demolitionist has someone he can communicate with if he doesn't have his hearing aid, and same with anyone else who's deaf/HoH.

In a similar vein to Tommy transphobe-puncher Innit, Tommy doesn't really give a shit about how he presents his gender. If you ask he will say he's a BIG MAN who uses he/him pronouns only, but he's also happy to walk around wearing a skirt (as long as it's a practical one he can fight in). He makes flower crowns for his friends. He can braid hair and has long-ish hair of his own. Hell, I'd say he could even do some basic makeup! Just stereotypically "feminine" things, because he just Does Not Care™. The most trans-allegory cishet man ever.

Tommy seems like the type to not care if he's asked to wear something formal (I.e. the L'manberg uniform) as long as he can still fight in it, Tommy likes to be prepared at all times. He keeps like three concealed weapons on him at all times. People have mentioned kinda worriedly to fWhip that his kid has a "perfect soldier stance", that he more marches wear he walks than actual walking, etc. It's concerning to see a kid no older than 16 walking around like a grizzled war veteran (which he is). Also, when asked to greet another Emperor respectfully, Tommy interprets that as a salute, perfect posture, etc with "It's an honour to meet you, ma'am/sir!" Because that's the only way he knows how to "show respect".

Idk I just want to explore the child soldier side of cTommy more.

Also just Tommy who's literally been homeless before being utterly shocked at the lavish lifestyle royalty/nobility lead. He sees all the food laid out in the dining hall to feed fWhip and his whole staff and is just shocked, there's never been that much food to go around on his whole server and there it all is just sitting there, AND fWhip tells him there's more if he doesn't like any of it!

Tommy really is just Sophia the first in this au lol

i've had. A WEEK.

we ran out of gas which we get in those portable tanks taquerías use and like. haven't been able to get more for a ?? week-ish?

i could finally afford to buy a second tank a few months back, so we could set up the dual flippable system so that ideally when we run out of gas all we gotta do is flip a switch and then have like 2-3 months to replace the empty tank

BUT WHILE THAT HAPPENS we r still out of shit to cook & heat water with. except bf's dad uber'd us his electric grill so we r at least not letting all the food (which i bought on Thee Exact Day we ran out of gas. because of course i did) rot like last time this happened (when i ALSO bought groceries directly before running out of gas). but i still can't take hot showers which is Destroying My Brain.

also now the washing machine is Being Fucky & i think needs a filter change?? bc of the super hard water around here probably. i'm hoping it's just that & not also some nefarious effect of the place we had to install it in which is a uh.... cave. of sorts. a non-indoors-not-completely-outdoors VERY annoyingly low ceiling'd space under the building stairs which I gotta stoop dramatically to get into & doesn't let the lid open all the way and is VERY dusty and somewhat humid. and there's a huge warning label stuck on the machine saying like 'pls avoid fire risk by like. not stashing ur machine outside lol'.

and uhh also now i'm being?? i guess blackmailed by a guy who taped one of the Questionable Videocalls i've been doing so i can expand our food budget a little and maybe get prepared stuff from an Economic Kitchen™ (aka Fonda) on weekdays so i can like. have time to breathe & Not have 2 semi-abandon projects like my stream channel or the idea of launching art commissions. cause rn I can't afford to order or prepare or buy enough food to like... eat enough calories to the point where i can exercise without passing out lol (or do basic house chores without feeling like i'm gonna pass out).

he's contacting me thru discord, two different accounts so far. also joined the server I set up for my twitch channel viewers + general destiny friends (Spanish speaking edition) to post ?? screenshots? clips? idk a friend who helps me mod got rid of it + banned the guy Immediately so I didn't even see what he posted. but he could be back on a different acc at a time neither I nor my mod friend are online & Make Problems

i don't really have any sort of official resources I could call on to back me up either bc all the services involved look down on SWers even as they profit off them so....

that's been fun

i just wanna be able to put the skills i know i have to good use. and make enough money to eat decently + be able to go to the doctor lol. these aren't Insane standards. idk why i haven't been able to figure it out (hint: i do know it's The Systemic Bullshit weighing down on me but like. idk anything like........... actionable, changeable on an individual level, can't wait for therapy tomorrow where we'll continue discussing Futile Individual Strategies against the Inexorable March of The Species Towards Oblivion. lol. also it's my second to last session of free therapy! yipee).
