#ranboo exile au

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

Ranboo Exile AU group shot because I wanted to draw some e!AlliumDuo but then got entirely distracted by the rest of the image so I'm gonna probably gonna draw just them later

(close-ups below)

and as always you can check out the "ranboo exile au" tag on my blog for more context if you have questions

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

Yeah, I feel like Wilbur would be more hurt than pissed, and just want to know why. Or maybe just refuse to believe Dream at all, soet of seeing through the lie.

Poor e!Tommy getting forced into this ever growing big effed-up family... would e!Dream try and merge the Wilbur-Tommy-Dream family with the Tommy-Ranboo-Dream-Techno-Philza friendship? They'd start to have a full little community then, though the bigger it gets the easier it would be to see the cracks and people might start realizing the horrors going on behind the scenes...

I also have RanbooExileAU!Wilbur/Ghostbur thoughts.

Because at first I was thinking that he wouldn't get revived and would just stay Ghostbur forever, maybe even living with e!BorealTrio, but then I had a thought. And what if e!Dream decided to revive him as a "special treat" for e!Tommy? (Ocf he might also see that as brother-figure competition)

But idk c!Dream as well as you so idk what is more likely there

imagine- he revives wilbur… to use as a test subject for his research. so he can frame it as a gift to tommy, he can continue his goal, AND he can use that to drive a wedge between them. tell Wilbur that Tommy agreed to everything and then have Wilbur get pissed at tommy for the torture. (which probably Wouldn’t Work but he can try)

he'll just kill Wilbur forever again if Tommy doesn’t play along with the whole like. Fake family dynamic thing.

oooookay, I'm not super versed in dsmp lore and I don't even really know the whole events in chronological order. but!!!! I love your monarchy restoration au. your art is so gorgeous. and the emotions there ... man

can you please give me some guideline of what should I know from the og lore to understand your au? or maybe some summary of your au?

just talk about it I really want to interact!!! :D

hi, editing Li here, the summary ended up being over 2k words. then I realised you asked for a summary to the AU, which is part of the masterpost. I went over the lore in brief, I promise it's just brief despite the length and doesn't tackle All there is to the SMP

okay, lemme try and speedrun the lore of the dream smp - given that the story of monarchy restoration centers around the Dream Team, or at least the parts that I shared, I'll be focusing on them. this will get long and I'm really sorry jghdfjd

the core ideas you should know is that: Dream, George and Sapnap were close friends, but they drifted apart as time went on due to conflicts on the server. Dream crowned George as King, but then due to George doing badly as a king and this position putting him in danger made him dethrone George, which made the rift between them grow. they were once inseparable, and now George and Sapnap thought of Dream as obsessed maniac who no longer cared for them as people. after Dream got put in prison and tortured, he broke out, and this is where the lore of Monarchy Restoration diverges from the original story of the SMP and becomes an AU, as instead of reuniting with Punz as intended, Dream is too weak and injured to do much and runs into George, who takes him in.

now for the Actual Lore Recap:

at the very beginning of it all, there were two friends - Dream and George. they found a little piece of the world for themselves, and everything was fine. then a third came, Sapnap, and then more people joined, and they lived in the same house in the middle of the lake and things were okay.

months passed, and fights turned into splits in the community and a community turned to factions, and the conflicts of factions were intertwined with interpersonal fights. (the interpersonal conflicts? the disc saga, aptly named over 2 music discs that were used as a bartering chip and have a pretty good significance in the overall story. put a pin into that.)

the two factions at play were the (retroactively named) Greater SMP and L'Manburg which declared independence from the Greater SMP on basis of xenophobia. they lost the war against the Greater SMP, the final fight being a duel between Dream and the original owner of the discs (Tommy). a deal was struck after, where Tommy offered his discs in exchange for independence (or independance, if you want to stick to the original text)

an important aspect of this war is to note that Dream offered one of the people on L'Manburg's side a deal - they betray the faction and get to become the King of the Greater SMP. this establishes monarchy in the story. they accepted, betrayed their allies, got the role of a King with the promise of 'staying neutral and uninvolved in further conflicts'.

I'll breeze through the Manberg era for the most part (despite being the most interesting one, imo). L'Manburg ran a presidental election, the original leader (who wanted to take power by scamming the whole thing) lost, and the new leader of L'Manburg (renamed to Manberg, because they're not taking any L's anymore) exiled the OG president and his right hand man Tommy, things went bad. the two exiled men started a new faction (Pogtopia) that they hoped to use to take back their "rightful place" and were given support from Dream because the new Manberg was a little too expansive. (he ended up siding with Manberg last minute for Yet Unknown Reasons, we will get to them, again, put a pin in it)

the King of the SMP very vocally sided wih Pogtopia, which was a betrayal to the core principles of their position as King. the King was dethroned, and Dream put his best friend George on the throne, with him and Sapnap serving as his knights.

upon the defeat of Manberg by Pogtopia (since Manberg's authoritarian regime ended up driving people out and most joined Pogtopia, Dream and his people fought for Manberg only as mercenaries), one of the core allies of Pogtopia - an anarchist, the blood god himself, Technoblade - turned on his former allies because they told him it was about defeating a tyrant, but all they wanted was to kill one tyrant and put their own people in his place. Techno then fled into exile.

next chapter begins after the rebuild of L'Manberg, yet the L' is back, under a new rule given that the OG president uhhh Blew Up The Country with several megatons of TNT and then persuaded his father into killing him.

King George is vibing. he is unaware of all faction wars, builds himself a holiday house far away from everything, enjoys time with new friends, all while Dream grows more and more distant due to trying to keep what is left of his old life together.

the reason the home is important to mention is that, once peace has settled over the world, Tommy decided that the discs that he traded for independence are His, in fact, and he needs to steal them - or barter for them in any shitty way possible. he still had tons of grudges against Dream, and in one of these half-grudge fueled fuckeries, he and one other character set fire to George's holiday home.

Dream found it in ruin and still burning when he came see his friend with a bouquet of flowers. there are several interpretations to this, and since Dream himself never really specified, there's a speculation that he thought that this event maybe killed his best friend, and given that George is the King of the Greater SMP, an attack by the right hand man of the current L'Manberg president on the physical property of the King of a rival faction is de-facto a war declaration.

so we are presented with an ultimatum, where Tommy is either exiled or a war starts. (exile won. it was voted on by the fans we wanted that bitch Out. this is not quite as important but the dynamics shaping up between Tommy and Dream had a massive impact on the plot.)

while Tommy is in exile, George becomes rather friendly with a new budding faction on the server. his involvement with them means that his neutrality vow was broken, and given how frequently he got harassed by L'Manberg, Dream decided to dethrone George, and put the previous King back in power. this dethronement caused a huge rift to form between George and Dream (and Sapnap, who sided with George) and the three of them fell apart with the parting words from George to Dream being "Just say you hate me."

I'm sure this won't have any lasting effects on the man who was tearing himself apart to make the world the same as it was when it was just the two of them

now in brief: the L'Manberg cabinet decided to take revenge on Techno after he turned on them after they tricked him into helping them against Manberg. the punishment? execution. how did they achieve that? they hunted him down, threatened to kill his animals, told him he will get a court process but just set him up in a guillotine. Dream intervened and saved him, thus earning a favour from Techno because both of them are traumatized warriors with trust issues that rather treat kindness as currency. Tommy runs away from the place he was restricted to in his exile, moves in with the anarchist-in-retirement-gone-pacifist Techno, the two of them end up teaming up for the time being as Techno protects him from Dream. L'Manberg in the meantime decides to host a festival to show that they are peaceful now, and nothing bad will happen again :) it takes place a week after they unlawfully tried to execute Techno, and the festival is meant to serve as public execution of Dream. However, the festival is cut short when Dream storms in because the original house where he and his friends lived - known as the Community House - got blown up. he blames L'Manberg and Tommy, and after a short conflict that happens then he declares that L'Manberg has a day to evacuate and him and Techno agree to blow up the country. a second time. and completely now.

so L'Manberg is gone now and the members of the faction scatter. within days, Tommy receives an invitation from Dream to come get his discs (I didn't know how to include it, but after the whole 'setting George's house on fire' Tommy tried to barter for the discs and for Dream to ignore him setting the house on fire, all while trying to leverage things that Dream held dear. attachment to objects and people is a running theme in here. Dream then proceeded to give his "I don't give a fuck about Spirit, I don't give a fuck about anything actually" speech, basically telling everyone they have nothing to leverage against him and he will destroy them if he needs to and them holding something hostage won't bother him.) This sets the stage for the Disc Finale. Tommy and his best friend Tubbo make their way to a specific location, far away, all alone, where they are to fight against Dream to win the discs back. they lose spectacularly and Dream reveals his "grand plan" where he has a vault to gather "all the precious items people own to control them" (and I wrote "grand plan" because it was a farce. it was a show, it was staged, all just to get Tommy to leave him the fuck alone and stop meddling with his greater plan. what is the greater plan? fuck if I knew.)

the whole thing is then intercepted when a large group of people, one of which is Dream's right-hand-man Punz who was running errands for him before, and more importantly, Sapnap. he's beaten and just as he is about to be killed, he reveals his secret: the reason he sided with manberg, all those months ago, is because in exchange for his services he got a book of necromancy. he can now bring people back to life. because of this, he is locked up in an inescapable prison in case anyone needs to use the book.

Sapnap and George are very much under the impression that Dream doesn't care for them. Sapnap comes visit Dream once, promises to return, never does. George doesn't even bother coming in, instead sleeping his days away and it catches the eye of a deity who wears the same face as his beloved Dream, and he loses himself to the illusion of being reunited with his best friend in a world where everything is perfect.

another important thing to note is that Sapnap stumbles upon a Book Of Death (yes, its death note, sapnap is a weeb, it even functions the exact same.) the thing about the book of death and the book of necromancy is that they are both books that were placed into the world by the deity wearing Dream's face (known as DreamXD, or XD for short, yes it's a little silly) and XD reveals to another character (a somewhat-deity, Foolish) that the books and their owners are intertwined in a way, and if one were to die the other dies with him.

so we have three friends, one locked up in prison and seen as nothing more but an object to use (Dream), the other a man who watched his friends, his parents and his lovers fall apart (Sapnap) and a man who cannot face the world falling apart and the loss of his friends so he gives into an illusion created by god in his dreams. and all of them have a strange tie to a stranger god.

this very fractured relationship the three have, along with their ties to the god, were the main driving force behind making this AU.

the last thing you should probably know is that Dream was locked in prison for 10 months, starved, tortured, with little to no social contact until Techno was locked in with him, but with the use of some fun magic Techno managed to escape and then "return the favour" from when Dream saved him from execution, and broke him out of prison.

there's a lot of little nuanced things I probably forgot about but this is the core of it all I hope it helps

DSMP AU lore post

🟢DSMP

Ghostbur and Tommy’s first interaction + exile arc 

One night, not long after November 16th, Tommy fell asleep on his couch. He had been up half the night upset about his brother’s recent death. The next morning however, Tommy woke up in his bed, the smell of food wafting throughout his home.

Tommy confusedly walked out of his room to find someone cooking in his kitchen. The figure was unmistakably Wilbur, though he looked a bit different: the apparition’s skin was gray with a blue undertone, his hair was dark gray, and a pair of white, feathered wings were situated on his back, like that of an angel. Tommy couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“Wilbur?”

The specter looked up from the stove, his eyes two black voids with a white dot in the center of each. The spirit greeted Tommy with a wave and explained that he was making breakfast. Tommy didn’t respond, he simply rushed over, hugging his brother tightly and rambling about how he thought he would never see him again. The spirit seemed confused, but hugged back.

It became clear over the next few weeks that the ghost wasn’t a perfect reincarnation of Wilbur. He always referred to himself as either Ghost or Ghostbur, constantly tried to be friendly (even towards people Wil hated), and was less serious and more mischievous than the Wilbur that had died. Additionally, it seemed that Ghostbur didn’t remember a single bad thing that he had experienced while alive (and if he did, he refused to discuss it). Almost all negative experiences that entered his mind left not long after. He would try to remember by pretending that bad things were good—for example, pretending that the blood on Quackity’s apron was cranberry sauce—though this often made him come off as stupid or childish.

Meanwhile, Dream was growing increasingly annoyed with the state of L’Manberg. He thought that the detonation and Wilbur’s death would be the end of it but they were rebuilding. The tyrant wouldn’t stand for this. He had to find a way to drive the people of L’Manberg apart.

One day, Dream made a sudden visit to L’Manberg, seeking an audience with President Tubbo. Though the young leader was hesitant, he decided to listen to whatever Dream had to say. The tyrant explained to Tubbo that he had some information that no one else did about the detonation of L’Manberg. Dream weaved a long, complicated, and completely fabricated story about how Wilbur and Tommy had influenced Wilbur to blow up L’Manberg and ruin Tubbo’s inauguration. He said that Tom was jealous of Tubbo’s position and wanted it for himself, so he took advantage of Wilbur’s deteriorated mental state to manipulate him into his great act of terrorism. Somehow, he believed him. 

Later, Tubbo organized an assembly in which he announced that Tommy would be exiled from L’Manberg and that Dream would ensure that the boy is never able to return. The crowd, including Tubbo’s right hand man Quackity and boyfriend Ranboo, was shocked. Several people protested but the decision was final. Tommy was soon escorted out of L’Manberg and taken far away.

After Tommy was exiled, Ghostbur came along to keep him company and help him settle in to his new home. For the first few weeks, the spirit treated the exile like a fun beachside vacation; however, his happiness about the situation swiftly faded when he saw how depressed Tommy was becoming. Ghostbur tried his best to keep Tommy’s spirits up with gifts and words of encouragement, but it was not much help with everything Dream was secretly doing to Tommy.

Ghost hadn’t realized what was going on until he experienced Dream’s cruelty for himself. On a particularly cold night, Dream took Ghostbur’s pet sheep out of his pen, hiding him away somewhere where no one would find him. When Ghost asked where his sheep had gone, Dream said he wandered into the woods and that Ghost should go look for him. Ghostbur immediately set out to find his pet. Ghost was missing for around a month after that. 

Turns out ghosts can freeze to death and Ghostbur lost his first canon life to the elements. Thankfully, Technoblade found Ghostbur’s body and gave the freezing spirit food and shelter for the night.

When Ghostbur returned to Logstedshire, Tommy informed him that Dream had hidden Friend and sent the spirit off into the woods so he wouldn’t get in the way of the tyrant’s torment. Ghostbur asked Tommy what Dream did to him, but Tommy didn’t have the heart to tell the ghost any of the specifics, especially what happened with the massive tower looming over the camp. It wasn’t like he would remember anyway. Despite not knowing much, the spirit hated Dream with every fiber of his being after that. Additionally, the Ghost started leaving Friend in L’Manberg with Philza whenever he went to visit Tommy (though his visits slowly became fewer and farther between).

Okay this is 100% discourse, so maybe avert your eyes if you don't want to see me wail at the heavens, but for a fandom so anxious about boundaries, we haven't actually been very good in practice at respecting the actual stated boundaries the streamers put down, and I think it shows what we're actually policing, which is not things to make the streamers comfortable, it's stuff to make us comfortable.

This ranges from inventing new boundaries for people (you can't use neopronouns for ranboo, their pronouns are he/they; there's no boundaries on dark content for streamers so obviously we have to invent and enforce dark sbi rules ourselves) and then harassing people based on those boundaries that we just made up, to ignoring the actual things that the streamers said if we don't agree with them (cc!dream said he was uncomfortable with gore art back during the revolutionary war/exile but he's a villain, right, so we can just do whatever we want with the character, right?) and just doing whatever we want.

This is a recurring problem, with people violently policing boundaries that the fandom has all agreed on, to the point of doxxing and harassment and death threats, and ignoring boundaries that they have decided "don't make sense".

Like here's the example I put in the tags earlier, which is Technoblade related. Everyone knows that family dynamic is great and shipping is a no-go, right? But if you actually go looking for the clips, (or listen to streams in the background recursively while you're doing other things), you'll find that what Technoblade said about shipping was that it was "kinda cringe" (I think the list of things he said was cringe included reading percy jackson books and talking like you're better at video games than you actually are), and he was MUCH stronger in saying that he didn't like family dynamic in canon, saying that he didn't like it, that it was non-canon, and he'd never betray his family like that.

But if you look at the entire "found family" tag on Ao3, 19,860 stories, Technoblade is tagged into 29% of them. That's 5,760 fics just blowing right past what Technoblade said. Boom. Taking that character from his political anarchist setting and setting him right down in a royalty au w. younger siblings.

Because obviously a family dynamic isn't actually going to hurt someone's feelings or make them feel weird, the fandom has agreed, so what he must mean was that saying that family dynamic was actual literal canon is the only bad thing (I have been clotheslined by family dynamic written into stuff tagged as "canon compliant" multiple times as well,) and we can continue with the fun family stuff, right? Because someone saying they don't like family dynamic doesn't make Sense, in the way that I like it, the fandom has agreed, so we can just ignore that clip. Honestly I think that a ton of people have no idea that Technoblade ever said anything negative about family dynamic, because that clip is never brought out or talked about. I literally only know about it because I've watched that stream.

Meanwhile, the much less firmly stated boundary when it comes to shipping is absolutely doubled down on and brought out to justify mobbing people off the internet, because everyone already knows that shipping is bad and terrible and tainted and horrible to do and we don't like it, so even the slightest indication that it's out has to be grabbed and used to police people. So that everyone can be very to sure themselves that what they're doing is not weird, and the streamers are okay with it, and if I showed them my fic they'd say they liked it.

They're not going to give the Ok to your fic, because the fic isn't FOR them, and it shouldn't be. It's for the other weird fans who can't stop thinking about the block men characters, it's not for the actors. The actors have their own lives, leave them alone.

To be clear, I am not saying that we should stop writing family dynamic to respect Technoblade's feelings. Among other things, I don't think he's checking his character tag on Ao3 right now. But like, I've talked before about the way that boundaries culture ends up working in practice, and how constantly bringing problems up to streamers just ends up showing them all the things that are the most weird to the streamer. You only have to look at what most of Benchtrio has done in terms of boundaries, which has been transitioning from very explict boundaries with details on everything to just saying "just use your manners," stopping answering questions, and telling people to actually think about what they're showing the streamer instead of expecting someone to weigh in on it for them.

But even when it comes to the boundaries that we do have, that we know about, the way people enforce them seems to be less about actually respecting what the creators like, and more about making sure we're morally pure and never have to see something that we personally don't like, and we don't happen to have any of that nasty boys kissing content in our work, because we all know that's terrible. (And as someone who's seen crackdowns on LGBTQIA content several times, that certainly has unfortunate overtones.)

As long as it's all kept away from the creators, I really think that fluffy cuddly family dynamic and kissing fic and hardcore whump all falls into the category of "not for the creators, they might find that one weird, but you do you". Like keep it away from the streamers, use your brain, but like, it's all a bit weird and for fun. Let it be weird and for fun in a secluded part of the internet, keep it away from the streamers, tag your shit for people who don't want to see it, and go to town.

So just like, I really think that "creator boundaries" should be more about using your brain as to what you show the streamer, and less about harassing someone off the internet cause they drew kissing art.

HUMAN BENCH!!! i have had a little tiny teensy reincarnation au in the back of my mind for AGES, and there are the Bois in that!

More details under the cut as always :)

It's based in italy because i also am and i do Not know nearly enough about american nor british hg to bullshit it effectively - Ranboo goes to a classical, clingy to Normal Scientific (tubbo despises latin but he suffers through it because he thinks its needed) (ranboo has to fight tooth and nail every single day for his memory problem accomodations to be respected). The schools are joined, they share a principal, a courtyard and, most importantly, institute representatives: our boys tubbo and ranboo.

The story is actually Very long and im not gonna bore everyone with it dm me if interested or send an ask i would die (positively) fr but be assured that it includes a whole lot of Reveals, remembering your past life in the worst moments, ALIVE SALLy (and human as well), Actual Furry Fundy, school rivalries and blackmail! (aloong with a extremely dramatic school prom callout). I love my little disney channel movie ass au theyre so dumb and have absolutely no real problems.

Fun fact to send you off: some of the things they wear in this illustration are accomodation to make their bodies feel closer to their old ones! ranboo has platforms - even though hes already fuckall tall - and fake ears absolutley covered in piercings. Tubbo wearns weighted fake horns and compression glloves - on the hand that he lost with his execution Last Time. Tommy weats a weighted belt to resemble his raccoon tail and a backpack to mimic the weight of his wings - he had gotten used to missing the weight after they got cut in exile, but he figures that he can do whatever the fuck he wants in a safe world and he likes the pressure on his shoulders.

Okay so more playdate au (tagged #playdate au) lore:

Dream is the oldest of three siblings: Techno (the cool middle kid who tends to play video games inside and has a stock pile of nerf guns hidden in his room), Sapnap (typically playing with his best friends, the troublemakers: Karl and Quackity), and George (the youngest who often retreats inside because of a meltdown or naptime)

Punz is Dream’s best friend and whenever their parents get together, they are left to babysit Punz’s younger siblings: Lazar and Vik.

Dream doesn’t mind being the villain at first, in fact he actually finds it fun and kinda cathartic until it’s taken too far and he becomes the “controlling parent” who’s a killjoy.

While Exiled Tommy trips and scrapes his knee while chasing Dream for the Discs, who took them after Tommy was using them to the hit people visiting him in Exile.

The incident is the start of school.

Wilbur is the jealous kid next door and Phil is his older brother, who is often left in charge to babysit.

Philza has to take over as pseudo lifeguard one afternoon when Wilbur gets set to take a nap after being grumpy and having a temper tantrum.

Phil tends to stay in the nice air conditioned inside, where Niki convinces him to bake cookies and he watches movies (like Frozen ;D) or plays video games with Techno.

Ranboo, who has major FOMO, often comes in and joins because he can’t decide which area to play in. Sometimes he drags Tubbo, who of course brings Michael, inside too when he needs some help against beating Techno in a video game.

Most of the names are made up obviously, though some people kept their real names or just added something to their existing one.

Also:

Quackity: “Hi Sam, is Clay okay?”

Sam *guarding the bottom of the slide* Sam: “Yeah, he just got overstimulated, had to take a break from everyone.”

Quackity: “Oh okay, maybe I should go check on him”

*Sam moves aside letting Quackity crawl up the slide*

Quackity: “Hey Dream, wanna play some cards?”

YALL IM NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS

Got into Epic:The Musical and now All I can think about is a DSMP AU of it

Odysseus-Tommy

Penelope-Tubbo

Athena-Techno

Poseidon-Dream

Polyphemous-George

Circe-Quackity

Zeus-Punz/Sapnap

Ares-Jack Manifold

Aphrodite-Niki

Apollo-Badboyhalo

Sirens-Egg

Hephaestus-Warden Sam

Hera-Drista

Calypso-Revivebur/Dream

Aaeolus - Phil

Telemachus-Michael

Hermes-Slimecicle/Ranboo

Polites-Ghostbur

Lotus Eaters-Schlatt

Tiresias-Eret

Eurylochus-Fundy

Anticlea-Kristin

Ithaca-L'Manberg/Snowchester

Explanation under cut

Ok, 2 things

1) this is based specifically off of the musical, cuz the actual Odyssey doesn't line up as nice and I haven't read it recently enough to adjust my characters

2)fuck cc!Will Gold, I'm stealing his characters for myself

ALRIGHT

Tommy - Odysseus

Doomed Protagonist, everyone likes to beat up that wet cat, made some stupid mistakes and never stops paying for it

-

Tubbo - Penelope

In a platonic way- they are each other's reason to continue living as well as Tommy's loyalty to Tubbo

-

Techno - Athena

a mentor figure that helps, then abandons, then helps again when their mentee is suffering alone - grew attached? When said mentee was young and deemed worthy of their loyalty

-

Dream - Poseidon

Main thing preventing him from going home, for a reason that was due to a decision that meant no harm in the grand scheme of things, unjustly petty bitch

-

Gogy - Polyphemous

his house is equivalent of Polyphemous's eye, something that was meant as an action that meant no harm, that Ody/Tommy can never seem to make up for to the point where the punishment doesn't match the crime

-

Quackity-Circe

the whole Puppeteer motif and protecting others on his little island by any means necessary via Las Nevadas - his nymphs are his employees and the city itself for the most part - also the feeling of doing something right, even through cruelty in the sake of expected justice (butcher army) - also his want to kill pig man

-

Punz/Sapnap-Zeus

I feel Punz would be an ace Zeus - all of ThunderBringer, the final judgement call, swayed based on loyalties at the time and sides with Dream for reasons of "Ody/Tommy needs to be slapped around" - Techno is more powerful but Punz fits the personality more imo

I just realized Sapnap also fits really well and is a bit of a brother figure with Dream, but more willing to compromise with Tommy being around. He also is way better fitting with his anger issues, and is also has more ummm... Zeus-like motivations. I think the pride issue would also fit better, but he isn't nearly as powerful as Punz is at the time of the Exile-Prison arcs that I have this AU taking place in.

-

Jack Manifold-Ares

the pissy nature about Tommy/Ody being a coward who he believes acts for purely selfish reasons when that isn't entirely the case, the need for violent action

-

Niki-Aphrodite

less sexual - more platonic love based

I'm mostly basing this off God Games, and how Aphrodite is

1) paired with Ares, and is the less violent between the 2 but one of the hardest to convince that they should help Ody/Tommy

2) focused on Ody/Tommy betraying mom/friends for what are perceived as selfish reasons

-

Badboyhalo-Apollo

Apollo singing about how the sirens were cut down is the same as Badboyhalo being against Tommy for not obeying the egg

Also by the interpretation that Apollo is apathetic to Odysseus's fate in God Games - Badboyhalo is primarily apathetic towards Tommy except for when he has to do with the Egg

-

The Egg-Sirens

the egg has siren abilities that Tommy is immune to but (as least in fics) goes a long with for "plot" lmao - Tommy also partially lead to the defeat of the Egg through Church Prime - using faith in a god against Siren powers

-

Warden Sam-Hephaestus

Using Prison as a similar setting to Ogygia (trapped with only an abusive partner)

The armory/builder character, part of his song in God Games is about sacrificing Ody's cohort similar to how Tommy sacrificed Ghostbur - both leading to/right after being trapped in prison/Ogygia

The needing to reforge trust but ultimately allowing a rescue under the promise of improvement

-

Drista-Hera

(changing from Puffy to Drista cuz I like the idea from @wlwdwtys better!)

Drista would be a lot more passive towards the hero's fate, similar to God Games Hera. She easily has the powerful backing that Hera does and could likely be persuaded quickly with knowledge of something (Dream abusing Tommy/Ody staying loyal).

Whether or not Drista and Dream are siblings in this AU is up to interpretation, tho because Drista is a minor during the Dream SMP, her Hera wouldn't be engaged with this Zeus(Sapnap) - I think they would be more spiteful besties

-

Revivebur/Dream-Calypso

Revivebur and Tommy don't have the exact same dynamic (brothers? Vs One-sided lover) but the dynamic is similarly abusive and done by someone isolated for numerous years given a chance at companionship from someone who can't really leave - seeing that companionship as more object than person

I think the Prison would be the equivalent of Ogygia since Tommy's entire time in prison it was just him and Dream separated from the rest of the world. So in that case Dream is Calypso, as he also has that "more object than person" view of Tommy

-

Phil-Aeolus

God of the winds, the winions are chat, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer", both helpful and not, apathetic in the lighthearted way

-

Michael/Ranboo-Telemachus

I'm leaning towards Michael for things like Legendary and the mentorship~ish/aunt vibes with Athena thing. I think Michael would have had a lot of stories of what Tommy achieved, especially since when Michael was first properly in the narrative, Tommy was technically dead. Argos is Michael's Chicken.

As for Ody's want to see Telemachus as a motivation for returning home, I think that matches Ranboo more, as Tommy doesn't really know Michael for most of the DSMP

-

Slimecicle/Ranboo-Hermes

I'm going under the belief that this story starts during the initial leaving for Exile.

Hermes is helpful but mostly indifferent to the true fate of Odysseus. Slime fits the chaos vibe that Epic!Hermes brings to the table more, but Ranboo was more of a helpful indifference during exile.

Ghostbur-Polites

Fuckin dies /j

But really, it's the positivity of seeking to greet the world with Open Arms - and honestly doing so really successfully because they are really likeable

There is also a connection of the Lotus Fruit to Blue

-

Schlatt-Lotus Eaters

As I am starting the story at the start of the exile arc, Schlatt is already dead. The equivalent of the lotus fruit is booze lmao

-

Eret-Tiresias

First of all, he is kinda tied to the underworld and is a holder of history on the server. She has the look of a prophet with her eyes, and probably enough gossip to predict the fates. I think people also usually went to Eret for advice and wisdom to an extent, though I can't really remember.

Tiresias is a part of the age old "don't shoot the messenger" party that the Greeks liked, which means he has to be a very neutral party. Eret - after the first death of L'Manberg, became one of the very few true neutral parties on the server.

-

Fundy-Euryloclus

Both Fundy and Tommy in canon were similar to brothers (Eury and Ody are brother-in-laws since Eury is married to Ody's sister)

Fundy also committed acts of betrayal (burning the L'Manberg flag & acting as a spy) that Tommy didn't learn about until the end when they were no longer close (if ever)

-

Kristin-Anticlea

Suggestion from @charlybvnny

Kristin would also work even with the "death goddess" esc characterization because she could be waiting to see her son return to the underworld! But for this AU let's say she's just a spirit who died after the first destruction of L'Manberg or something

-

L'Manberg/Snowchester-Ithaca

I was originally imagining L'Manberg as Ithaca because I wasn't sure where else, but I like Ithaca better! (Suggestion from @charlybvnny)

I'ma make it so in this au that Tommy knows about Snowchester prior to his Exile, as the more positive fate of Snowchester is way better than what is left of L'Manberg. It would be a mash between the loyalty Tommy feels to L'Manberg and his active part in building Ithaca, and the setting of Snowchester.

-

Suitors?

Any thoughts on the Suitors? I can't think of any characters that really match them, so I'm open to suggestions!

Fuck it, long post time.

Dsmp is so AAGGHH. I love it so much, its introduced me to some of the people I care about most and it has made me feel ways no other fandom has made me feel. I love the plotholes. I love the lack of consistency. I love how everyone has a different view on how the story played out. I love how if you asked someone what happened during a certain era their answer will be different from the next. I love the art. I love the animatics. I love the characters. I love the fanfiction. I love the story. I love the aus. I love how homemade it feels. I love how it feels like people wanted to make a cool thing so they made a cool thing. I love how the fandom took small bits of the ccs personality, added it to their character and ran with it. I love how each character had totally different motivations from any other character. I love how some things didnt make sense. I love how somethings never got answered. I love the ending. I love how somethings didnt end. I love unserious it was at times. I love how serious it was at times. I love the fans. I love the theories. I love the edits. I love the gacha reaction videos (ifykyk). I love Henry. I love c!tommy. I love exile arc. I love c!niki. I love the petwar. I love the lines, improvised or not. I love "If you wanna be a hero tommy? then die like one." I love c!SBI. I love c!Bee duo. I love c!disc duo. I love exile arc. I love pogtopia. I love l'manburg. I love c!ranboo. I love c!tubbo. I love the Big Innit/Manifold Hotel. I love shroud. I love how it was able to bring a large group of people together. I love how its let me make so many friends. I love the fandom. I love how its changed me. I love dsmp. Dsmp means so much to me because its become MY fandom. Its become what I return to when Im sad or happy. Its the only fandom I really read fics for. Its the only show/thing Ive cared about to this extent. Its the only show where Ive actually cared about a character. Its how I found my love of watching twitch streamers. It got me back into playing minecraft. It got me into writing. It makes me want to improve on my art. DSMP is my comfort fandom, my main fandom, everything and anything all at once. I love watching compilations of the characters. I love all the cosplays. I love how ive gotten into so many hobbies because of it. I owe my personality to C!tommy and cc!tommy and dsmp as a whole. I owe my internet presence to dsmp. It has such a special place in my heart. I love c!tommy. I love how he cares for animals. I love how hes mean and aggrressive and rude. I love how hes hurt adn traumatised and healing. I love the relationships between the characters. I love how c!tommy cares and he doesnt. I love how the discs mean so much to him. I love how his decisions are drived by emotions. I love him having so many attachments. I love how other people will think my view of him is wrong/different to theirs. I love how dsmp allowed me to experiment with who I am (personality wise). I love how dsmp entered me to a part of the internet I would never have seen before. I love how I feel nostalgic looking at the fanart or fansongs. I love. It all. I know this was really rambl-y but ive just been thinking about it and I have so many feelings. My concluding statement is: DSMP has shpaed me into who I am and no one can take it away from me. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Ok sooo… for the Blob au do the like canon events still happen? Like does Dream go to prison? If so is Dream blob forced to go with him? Does Quackity get a blob?…

Yes! Canon events happen up to prison. This is sort of a little fun extra stuff tied to the communication knife au, so canon for blob au diverges where ckau does (aka when Sam and Dream have sex in prison, then continue to have a poly relationship with Punz post-prison.) This AU was largely because my friend (@corvesfelinesart) drew a lot of cute images of Sam as a blob, and I really wanted to write cute stuff about Blob Sam and awesamdrunz. It's not overly complex, just Fun Fluff, yknow?

Blob Dream doesn't accompany his admin to prison. Most of the time, the blobs Dream creates are meant to be running around checking for bugs or damage to the server. The ones Dream gives Imprints to, like Sap's blob or Techno's blob, tend to focus more their Imprints instincts rather than going around the server and doing their job, hence Blob Tech leaving Dreams side immeadietly to go find Technos dogs. They're still capable of damage control! They're just. Selective about which areas they prefer to be in.

Blob Dream, while Dream himself is in prison, continues to do his job around the server and often spies on other players to make sure they're healthy and safe. He doesn’t register any of the pain or suffering that Dream experiences while in prison, but it does experience a slight change in behavior, becoming more prone to hoarding and nervous around people.

Dream has to consciously make an effort to imprint a players soul onto a blob, and he has never had any intention of making an imprint of Quackity. Imprinted blobs are fun, but they're aren't very useful tools. He couldn't use it a Blob Quackity to his advantage when it only mimics a players base instincts, and it'd more likely than not be hostile to Blob Dream.

List of blobs Dream has made: Sapblob, Gogyblob, Tommyblob, Tubboblob, Fundyblob, Ranblob, Punzblob, Technoblob, Samblob, possibly more if I remember later.

Dream showed Tommy his ability to make blobs during exile as a sort of way to cheer him up during one of their good moments. Tommy was absolutely delighted, but then he got a little hesitant as he asked if Dream could make one of Tubbo. Dream didn't say anything. Tommy's blob eventually fucked off into the wilderness and made its own little nest in the ground. Dream made a Tubboblob to keep him company, and ignores them otherwise.

Ranblob, made alongside Punzblob while they were all planning Staged Finale, occasionally comes to visit them, but post-Ranboos death, Tubboblob has become hostile every time it shows up. Ranblob is usually found accompanying Ranboo at a distance otherwise.

Fundyblob was made during Dream and Fundys brief partnership, just a thing to make Fundy smile. Currently it's sleeping in a drawer in Fundys house. It plays with Yogurt sometimes, but doesn't really like leaving the house.

Sapblob and Gogyblob were made around the beginning of the server, also for pure fun. It was interesting watching the Dream Team's blobs play together, like watching a cat doing zoomies. Dreamblob hasn't approached either of them in ages, but if he did, Sapblob would maw on his head (supposedly in anger, but really he just missed him) and Gogyblob would likely attempt to sit on top of him to prevent it from leaving.

Technoblob was 100 percent just thinking Techno was Very Cool and wanting to make a little guy of him. He was very indignant when said blob bonked him with its head several times and then hopped away. What does that even mean!?

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

I was just drawing a c!Ranboo and it turned into Exile AU Ranboo (idk why they look like a spooked squirrel they just do)

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

Okay I'm awake too now, rambling time!

So just like canon dsmp, e!Tubbo couldn't be able to be best friends with e!Tommy during the NLM era because he was exiled, but unlike canon c!Tubbo, e!Tubbo wouldn't have e!Ranboo to be best friends with in his stead either

So I was wondering if he would he get closer with e!Quackity and e!Fundy instead? Or would he be more of a loner / isolated? Or maybe he would turn to someone else entirely to befriend?

And then also what would happen with e!Tubbo post-Doomsday? (Since the Butcher's Army would have still happened, Doomsday would probably also still happen in some form or other, it just wouldn't have the Bedrock Bros friendship break up tangled into it.) If he got closer to e!Quackity, maybe they would have left to found Las Nevada together. And e!Tubbo would have been left in a worse mental health spot w/o as much of a support network? or maybe he (and e!Jack?) would have created Snowchester just the same...

And then I realized that Michael would never have been adopted by BeeDuo the way any of this is going, so I iust started idly wondering if there was any way he could still be adopted... like e!Ranboo or e!Tubbo find him on their own and adopt him single-parent-from the start. Or maybe e!Ranboo pulls the same "semi-accidentally becoming friends with the enemy" thing they did in canon but in reverse, by stumbling across e!Tubbo (probably post-Doomsday) and sort of starting the BeeDuo arc later, though that would definitely have a significant effect on the over all direction of the AU (what with e!Ranboo probably realizing that e!Tubbo isn't evil and maybe even questioning the narrative that Exile was fine and dandy and all the problems were from NLM that e!Dream was feeding to e!Techno, e!Phil, and e!Ranboo)

And that's about as far as I got into thinking about it all, just a bunch of half-started concepts, brainstorming style. I just realized that e!Tubbo would be greatly affected by this AU and got curious about how

I've ended up thinking about the Ranboo Exile AU some more recently, and now I'm have e!Tubbo thoughts. Wanna converse/exchange ideas about Tubbo in this AU? Like w/o either of AlliumDuo for the entirety of the NLM arc (or likely even after), what would happen with e!Tubbo?

(I have a few fragments of ideas and directions it could go in, but I don't want to rambling abt it too much until I know you're interested :)

Sure! I just woke up so I am no thoughts head empty tho

DSMP AU lore post

🟢DSMP

Doomsday this one is a bit of a long post

TW: ‼️Major character/animal death‼️

Tommy had managed to slip away from the campsite while Dream was out doing something. He ran and he ran as far away as he could, up into the nearby mountains. The cold bit at his extremities through his lackluster clothing. He thought for sure he was going to die out here (not that that would be worse than his current situation in exile) until he came across a cabin in the woods near the peak of the mountain. 

He found his way in through an open window, proceeding to ransack the kitchen for any food. Tommy had made his way through several pieces of golden apple pie and half a steak when he heard footsteps coming. He quickly looked for a place to hide, opting for a small space underneath the sink. To Tommy’s surprise, the man who walked into the room was none other than Technoblade and following close behind the piglin was Dream.

”Technoblade, L’Manberg is a problem and you know it! They tried to kill you, they exiled poor Tommy. He’s starving alone in the woods because of them.” Dream said, clearly trying to manipulate Techno.

Tommy practically growled from how angry that made him. How could that monster pretend to care about him.

”I know, I want it gone too Dream, but think of the people livin’ there. This isn’t like most empires Dream, they’re my family.”

“And they’ve turned against you, if we don’t act now they might even turn Phil against you! We need to burn that place to the ground before we lose our chance.”

Technoblade paused at that. Of course Dream had to drag Philza into this. He knew that out of everyone he could use to manipulate Techno, it was his best friend.

“Fine,” Techno began, “Go find Phil, we’ll attack at dawn.” Technoblade walked out the back door, heading off into the woods. Dream left not long after.

Tommy sat there for a moment, dozens of questions swirling in his head. Why is Dream here? Why is Techno working with him? What does Phil have to do with this. They’re going to attack L’Manberg- they’re going to attack L’Manberg. The realization hit Tommy like a truck. The blonde scrambled out from under the sink and made his way outside, stealing one of Technoblade’s horses before galloping off in the direction of L’Manberg. Coming back now would mean a sentence in Pandora’s Vault but that didn’t matter right now. He had to warn them, he had to.

It was a normal morning in L’Manberg, the sun was just below the horizon, staining the dark sky with a faint orange to the east. President Tubbo stared out over the city from his bedroom window, watching as dark clouds loomed in the distance. It was going to storm later today. Ranboo slept soundly on the bed behind the president, a pillow carefully nestled in his arms so he wouldn’t realize their lover had gotten up. Tubbo had just turned away from the glass when he suddenly heard shouting in the distance. He turned back just in time to see a cremello horse rear up on its hind legs in the center of down, a familiar figure sitting atop its back.

Town square was crowded and full of people murmuring to one another when the president arrived. Quackity pushed people aside to clear a path for Tubbo so he could see what all the commotion is about. In the very center of town, struggling against the grips of two police officers, was Tommyinnit. Just off to the side, Ghostbur was trying to calm the stolen horse that had been spooked by the police. 

“TOM SIMONS INNIT!” Tubbo shouted over the commotion, anger clear in his tone. 

Everything stopped. Tommy looked up at his childhood friend like a deer in headlights. “Oh Tubbo! This is perfect! I need to talk to you, Dream, Techno, and Phil ar-“

“You have a lot of nerve coming back here Tommy. After what you did I ought to-“

“Well technically I didn’t do shit, Dream frame- actually that’s not important right now! Tubbo listen to me, we need to evacuate the city, Dream and Techno are about to-“

Tommy stopped mid sentence as the sound of an approaching aircraft filled the air. The crowd gathered in the center of town all turned to the north just in time to see a wall of withers and other monsters approaching from the ground and a single fighter jet approaching from the air. Then the first bomb was dropped.

The commotion lasted no more than an hour. Houses burned; women and children cried out in terror and the men cried with them; grass was reduced to dirt, dirt reduced to stone, stone reduced to bedrock. When it was all over, half the capital was on fire and the other half was blown to kingdom come. 

Tommy frantically searched through the wreckage, calling out for Tubbo, for Quackity, for anyone. After minutes of wandering through smoldering rubble Tommy finally saw someone, breaking into a sprint to reach them.

“Ghostbur! Oh my god you’re ok I- … Ghostbur?”

It was quiet once more in L’Manberg, the only sounds being that of crackling fire and faint sobs. Ghostbur stood in the remains of Philza’s home, looking down at the worst sight he could possibly imagine. Friend, wool patchy and stained black with char, lying motionlessly on his side. He was dead. The ghost dropped to his knees and began to sob.

[winniethepoohbear04]

Was reminiscing and has anyone created a dsmp AU where c!Tommy accepted the president position when they won the Manburg War. just was thinking about how c!wilbur was planning on c!tommy being the president of a crater and really cemeting the "you'll never be president tommy" line said earlier in pogtopia, but since c!tommy had no clue about this he gave it up hoping c!wilbur would reinstate his position and everything go back to how it was. and then c!tubbo got thrown into the position instead, which lead to the whole exile conflict, sooo it would be so interesting to see what could have played out if C!tommy took the position, and what the conflict of that era would have been. like would tubbo and tommy have ever split up? would new lmanburg look just like the old one with its walls and singular hot dog van since tommy craves nostalgia? they probably would have gone to war once again since dream would still be a main conflict, and then what would extend out of that? what would have been Ranboos role in this whole thing? Just... thinking.
