Okay so one of my major fandoms has gotten pretty controversial since the main canon finished up, lots of people involved have done or at least been accused of some not so great things. And a lot of people left the fandom because of it which, you know, understandable.
The thing is, on Ao3 there are, depending on who is included in the fic, several periods of time from which I cannot read completed multi-chapter fics anymore because I’ll get really invested in a story and reach the last chapter and they’ll say “I heard about the drama and I’m not finishing this fic anymore. Sorry!” And like, I get it, but please, pretty please, tell me beforehand. They don’t put the Abandonded/Discontinued tag, they don’t leave it incomplete, they tag it as finished and then I stumble across it and get my heart broke.
I appreciate every author on that site, and I understand that they might not feel comfortable writing anymore, but misrepresenting your fic pisses me off. I know lots of people are okay with reading incomplete fics, they can accept that, but I’m not one of those people. There is nothing that hurts me worse than finding out that I will never get closure, and that includes in my fandoms. Don’t mislead me into thinking that there will be a conclusion and then rip the floor out from under me, you feel?
#this is mostly about dsmp#fuck william gold#fuck wilbur soot#there’s like a two month period of final updates for a fic where i have to look at the last chapter first to make sure it’s finished#same thing that happened after techno’s ascension#happened with dnf fics too after the Dream accusations and again with George and Caiti#tag your fics appropriately plz#i beg of you#tagging tommy because he’s the tag I browse under the most#dsmpblr#dsmp#tommyinnit#wilbur soot#technoblade#dream#georgenotfound#dream smp#ao3#ao3feed#archive of our own

brother pause c!wilbur just looked at tommy newly dead and went lmao want to play cards and then never gave a fuck about him afterward until tommy had something better going on and then he was like 'no wait but don't you love me tommy we're like brothers basically'
c!wilbur was just a string of idgaf a fuck about you let's do something I find fun and c!tommy is like. why are you like this. I'm just trying to be loved and protected why are you like this and why do you treat me like this.
i'm so mad.
#dsmp#dream smp#c!crimeboys#CRIMEBOYS NEG#c!tommy#tommyinnit#c!wilbur#this post was mostly to complain about the 'hey wait a minute' of c!wilbur meeting tommy in limbo#and then realizing HEY WAIT A MINUTE HE DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIM AFTER THAT EITHER#HE'S SO SELF-CENTERED

We have enough ‘c!tommy goes through the horrors and then gets help from some other character’ fics. I want a fic where someone else is going through the horrors and c!tommy is the concerned bystander turned support character. And I dont mean for c!wilbur because that’s the only dynamic I’ve really seen like that. I’m talking: Puffychu couples therapy- with Tommy as the increasingly concerned therapist. Role reversal or something
#dream smp#dsmp#dsmpblr#c!tommy#this is mostly a joke#but I’d love to see fics that incorporate tommy into non tommy centric story arcs without making it all about tommy… if that makes sense#dsmp lore discourse

some of y’all will be like “sorry to post about this awful stupid piece of media that no one cares about anymore” and then wonder why you’re miserable and the rest of us have zero desire to engage with you about said media

I want to write a fic about Dream moving into a frat mid college for some reason and he has the surgery scars he has and every single time a frat bro sees him without a shirt on their reaction is "Dude, cool scars!! ... is it a trans thing?" "Uh... no, they're like, surgery scars" "Cool cool... you're still going with he/him right? Just to check" "yeah"
#the dog barks#dreamwastaken#the frat bros are of couse Sapnap Sam Punz George etc#I think Dream would have been put there because of an error in the system but the frat had space so he just stayed#he doesn't like talking about the surgery with strangers and the bros picked up on it so every single time someone asks they make up a new-#story about what happen#their favorite is “he was fighting a huge crocodile and it almost bit him in half” “he jumped into a trash compactor”#george in particular will always say that dream got the scars fighting the ender dragon#Dream has a girl group that he hangs out with and they use him as a test to see if the guy they like is worth dating#mostly not with the scars#Dream just has something that makes men feel like they need to puff up like a stupid chicken#(that something is that he's tall and hot and well liked by the girls and the gays)#the frat house becomes 70% queerer when Dream joins#his nickname by the end of the year is mr gay awakening#(no one calls him that to his face)#dsmp au#writing

is there a question or comment that you often get that genuinely upsets you? or genuinely annoys you to your core?
Uhhh I wouldn't say genuinely upset, but probably annoys me yeah haha.
Comments comparing designs, like Odysseus and Jesus, etc, those get old very quickly.
Questions insistently asking if I'm a boy or girl, while amusing, also get old very quickly.
Any questions like the previous anon where it's like "why do you like this piece of media so much" well! It's a long story isn't it. Do you want a history because I Can traumadump. This one is a special case though, it mostly takes context
And any comment telling me to draw something (depends on tone) just makes me not want to draw it HAHA. I don't mind if people ask nicely, but the ones that are just a straight up demand? Rude. Ignored.
Also what Does upset me, now that I think about it, though it doesn't really happen here, mostly on TikTok and YouTube, is when people say I'm race swapping characters?? Or changing their race? I guess? It's just weird.
#wolfy tedtalks#anon#since this is my confession booth#just gotta say i ignore most asks about dsmp#mostly just cause im not interested in it anymore lmao#so#there's also that please stop asking me to draw specific dsmp characters i will probably ignore jt

Since I've just been TEARING through all these panels for the rewrite as of late, I thought I'd give you all another! I think it will be funny to see if you guys can piece together some of the plot based on just these haha
#dsmp#mcyt#c!wilbur soot#technoblade#philza#ranboo#borealtrio#mostly just wanted to show off the background i did for this one#it is something im v happy about in drawing all these scenes in places is that im gonna get a lot of experience drawing a lot of background#guess youll have to see if my background drawing skills have improved by the end of this!#tho it is another element that makes this project extra daunting

a little ramble about dreblr, meta, and the ever evolving nature of this fandom, i guess?
i don't mean to soapbox, this is mostly just going to be vomiting some thoughts into a post. some recent stuff and a post or two have had me thinking about this fandom and how different it is from when dsmp was ongoing. it's,, pretty obvious that the fandom is quite a bit smaller and less active than that time, and there are generally a lot fewer people actively posting meta and such every day--which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and is natural obviously considering that the dsmp ended almost 2 years ago, but does mean that the culture around (?) meta and such has shifted, as well. it's one of those things too i think that is felt so much more obviously in dreblr, which is an even smaller group within this fandom that formed in response to uhhh being very much considered unwelcome by the greater fandom at the time.
that being said, as is the nature of all fandom, dreblr is still a community of people who are largely strangers who have gathered together because of one commonality: very strong feelings and often very strong opinions on the dream smp and c!dream. and i think when the fandom was more active, the entire fandom felt a lot more like a "pvp enabled" zone, lmao -- it was every other day when there'd be some new batshit meta about c!dream or some stream to react to and analyze and fight people about and whatever. since then, though, with the dsmp gone, the fandom has become quieter -- which i think has allowed some of the variation in opinions within dreblr become more and more obvious? and also become a sort of source of friction.
again, this is normal for any fandom. i'm certainly not here to agree with everyone about c!dream always, lmao. but the vagueing of takes is always more awkward on both sides when it's someone where you share more of the same circles. at the end of the day, it's up to each individual blogger's discretion to choose what they will or won't post on their own blog, but at the same time ... when it comes to the community, just speaking for myself, i don't want a super high barrier of entry when it comes to people feeling like they can't join this fandom unless they've got [xyz] experience or [xyz] takes.
when it comes to actual analysis of the source material, though, keeping meta a safe place for people to say "no, i don't agree with this take because of [xyz]" is important as well, which always raises the question of how said disagreements should be handled. and again, i'm no authority, i'm not here to tell people what to do. personally, when it comes to my own blog, i don't like to post very much directly about any one blogger, but I know I've definitely written posts inspired by specific takes before as well as screenshots of takes from the fandom's heyday, etc. i don't necessarily feel uncomfortable with this ...? but at the same time, i know that vagueposts can be a source of discomfort, especially if they're about your take in particular (speaking from experience) -- so it's you know. not the easiest line to draw, I guess, especially when we're talking about a community where different people are going to have different levels of comfort with what they post on their own blogs and what other blogs do in response to their takes. and whatever.
vagueposting, i think, has been common in the tumblr dsmp fandom for a long time, and especially in dreblr -- direct engagement in the past errr usually went badly, so a habit formed of keeping everything we did kind of within our own spaces (hence why many of us don't even tag c!dream or even dreblr on most of our posts; keeping everything untagged, or keeping the tagging system restricted to our own blogs, limited the possibility of trouble). that being said, vagueing within dreblr has become more common, i think, as disagreements within dreblr have become more and more obvious in the time since the dsmp ended. (just for the obvious example: i think it's a bit of an open secret that i, personally, strongly disagree with much of the common depictions of c!drunz in this fandom. i've written some meta about this before, as well as some responses to meta--which i enjoyed greatly, believe me--but i've also noticed (perhaps coincidence) an uptick in c!drunz positive meta every time i or someone else makes a post that maybe skews more negative. which is normal, don't get me wrong, but also a pattern i've noticed. i'm also very aware that someone the arguments i may bring up as counterarguments or structure my posts around arguing against are based on actual arguments i've seen while in this space, which i'm aware is an easy source of friction within dreblr.) and it's easy to say "don't take it personally when it's just metaanalysis," but that's easier said than done, lmao, especially depending on the tone of the vaguepost and a myriad of other factors.
i'm not saying that i have the answers. or, for that matter, a single answer. the boundaries i set aren't going to be the same as the boundaries other people set, for one, and i have no desire to police what other people do on their own blogs. i do miss, sometimes, the more collaborative and discussion-based meta experience of this fandom when it was more active--i might try to more actively reblog posts (including those i don't necessarily agree with) to discuss this server and these characters, bc at the end of the day that is kind of why we're here. personally, i've always drawn a pretty sharp distinction between fanwork and analysis -- i think it's pretty bad form to criticize people's AUs In General (not that i've not. been guilty of it in the past, but i try at least to keep it to criticizing more general patterns within fanwork; look, i'm not going to claim a moral high ground, i love bitching way too much and should probably get a handle on that but asj;lkfdsaf) but when we're talking meta about the source material, barring shit like. you know, harassment and otherwise abusive behavior, i do consider it more of a free-for-all. at the same time, i know that these standards can lead to newer fans feeling like they're going to be booed out the door for sharing their thoughts, which, i mean, isn't great 😭😭😭 fresh eyes can bring a lot of really cool new insights, and it'd suck pretty damn bad to miss that because they don't feel welcome, yknow?
anyway, this is a very inconclusive post, but i thought i'd just throw some of my thoughts out as someone who has been here for a decently long time. and if you want to discuss w/ me, inbox and dms are always open :)
#honestly there was quite a lot more hostility back in the fandom's heyday#but you felt it less within dreblr bc we were too busy being bombarded lol#that being said c!dream apologists have Never all agreed with each other#trauma interpretation versus strategist interpretation is a microcosm of the differences just within dreblr#never mind c!dream apologist twt etc (as someone who started on twt mostly)#i'mdefinitely someone that has more than my fair share of disagreements with many of the more common opinions about c!dream#that i've seen on dreblr more recently -- that being said i think said disagreements aren't like. bad#it's just a matter of how exactly can we encourage discussion and differing opinions and talking about said differing opinions#in a way that both allows them to exist and allows people to comment on them and doesn't make anyone feel ostracized#which to be fair is a problem in most fandoms when it comes to meta#but perhaps felt more strongly in dreblr which still remains kind of disconnected from the rest of the dsmp fandom

not respecting your DNI not disrespecting your DNI but a secret third thing (using your DNI as a quick litmus test to see if you’re the kind of person i want in my life)
#like. what do you Care about#bc the thing is. dnis are just a sign you put up and can’t possibly enforce#(i.e. i mostly follow ppl who’ve already interacted with me and therefore have potentially broken their own dni in doing so)#but you can tell a lot about someone by 1) the people they feel the need to tell to go away and 2) the fact/way that they do it#idk if that makes sense#but it’s also like. if in the year of our lord 2024 you STILL have ‘dsmp dni!’ in your bio then i straight up do not respect you#bc it shows me that you haven’t put an ounce of effort into knowing the things you disavow or challenging your idea of media purity

Another mini! This one of Punz a little bit after arriving at the farm uvu
Since centaurs aren’t native to the land, and Punz not being fluid in the language yet, it takes a bit for the others to learn about centaur habits and culture. One of them being dressing! He was given a shirt right away but Sam eventually noticed he seemed flustered and uncomfortable with his state of dress, often trying to cover up his back and lower torso. This was momentarily fixed by borrowing one of Sylvee’s aprons and wrapping a sheet over his back, until Sam managed to find some reliable documentation on centaur culture and used that to help Sylvee and Hannah put together some actual proper clothes for Punz
#punz#c!punz#punz fanart#dsmp#dream smp#there's a lot of false info about centaurs spread by humans in this au#since most people haven't even seen one and mostly just hear stories#the gang at the farm didn't even know if Punz would have a humanoid or animal like intelligence when they brought him in#and Sam had to look all over to find accurate information#centaur au#pom art

has the dsmp been dead long enough to admit that i didn't understand why the transfem c!tommy headcanon was so popular? I don't mind it of course, transfems are lovely, and hc what you want, but most, if not all the people i saw headcanoning this took all the c!tommy away from c!tommy, and only kept his appearance.
All this to say, idm transfem c!tommy, but i don't understand why it was so popular
.
#confessions#series: dsmp#cc: tommyinnit#ch: c!tommy#as a proponent of transfem c!tommy:#i think it has something to do with discovery of self and c!tommy becoming a whole new person in spite of all the shit thats happened to hi#and that kind of resulted in people deciding that hes transfem. people want c!tommy to have a good ending so for some that meant deciding#that that involved her discovering herself and being more confident in herself and her identity#thats how i think about it at least#im mostly a fan of the aro c!tommy headcanon asdfhkjsd

Can you ramble to me about anything with Philza pretty please
welp I'm working on Mandatory Family Reunion at this second, so. The absolute way MFR Philza just messes up his children each in such fun unique ways. Like the damage to Techno is OBVIOUS. Gaslighting minimizing destroying his entire sense of self etc etc. Philza is so deeply delusional, and the way he infects Techno is fascinating. But basically all of MFR is about that.
However, the way he hurts Wilbur and Tommy is so neat too, and I think it implies so much about Philza. Wilbur clearly has no sense of consequences for his actions ever. Which is crazy for a dude who has been doing various criminal activities. Super sheltered but thinks he isn't. And the way he's been left feeling incomplete, dedicating his entire life to getting back his 'other half'. And of course Philza gives him this whole talk about 'he is not replacing you' and 'our capacity for love grows' etc etc, promising Wil directly that he is equally loved. But like. He just clearly isn't. Philza is constantly, constantly paying 100% attention to Techno, which does ultimately lead to his down fall; Wilbur building the raid beneath his nose, being too depressed to properly rig the court case. Philza is utterly consumed with the mythos of his prodigal son, and forgot his 'eldest constant son' in the process. Like Wilbur word for word says he's just an attention whore, and Philza has so, so clearly shaped that. Grown up in the shadow of an impossibly perfect martyr that Philza built up in his head.
Plus Wilbur says he hasn't felt guilt since he was twelve, so he straight up just let a preteen into his criminal empire????? What is WRONG with him?
And Tommy. Ohhh Tommy. This is something I'll be really getting into chapter 11ish, but like Philza's severe paranoia was pretty detrimentous to him. Spending weeks in a bunker cut off from all his friends with no idea what's happening to his absent family? Hello? The strict scheduling and security makes me think Philza doesn't really let Tommy just spontaneously hang out with friends. See: actual months before he let Techno see even one friend (okay extreme case but still). And of course it's so very justified to Philza because welp he lost one kid before so no level of security is too much.
The fact Tommy thinks he was adopted to try and replace Techno. And. I mean maybe? Genuinely that might've been philza's angle?? At the VERY least Philza did not notice and cure that anxiety that his kid has. Obviously it didn't last long, but at the start Tommy really resents Techno in a way that's so unhealthy. Tommy is just screaming abandonment issues, really, especially during the Nether kidnapping. Philza promises to do better, of course. And then just doesn't, again. He completely shuts out everything but Techno the days leading to the final raid, and then lets himself go to jail. MFR Philza has all these pretty words, but he really, really does not back them up.
But also, he's lived every single second of the past 18 years in the minute he found Alexander's empty cradle, and I think it took Techno's last testimony for him to wake up. Philza spends most of MFR doubling down on the promises he's made about his happy ending for years. It's how he kept himself together and destroyed himself all at the same time.
Which, in comparison with The Lambs wolves wear Philza, it's really funny how both of them treat the mask of fatherhood. MFR Philza chasing perfect fatherhood so desperately to stave off the trauma of losing a child. And Lambs Philza forced into playing a perfect father no matter how much he hates it, again to stave off the trauma of losing a child. Anyway just funny they're both bad and fake at being a Dad in polar opposite ways.
Hold on I think Worth far more than your weight in gold Philza is also dadmoding to avoid dead child trauma. And Fault Philza gets Anderson killed and immediately stress adopts Wilbur as a coping mechanism. Honestly same with Tubbo. And Lord what fools these mortals be! Philza is kidnapping humans so he doesn't have to think about the horror of being a stagnate immortal.
Actually this is a really really funny trend I just found in my Philza's. Dad as coping mechanism and is kinda bad/traumatizing at it.
#hold on the prodigal son story maps on really well with wilbur as the elder constant son#angry as his father rejoices#though ah yeah techno did not squander his inheritance on hookers-#not that uh the dadmode is real phils coping mechanism in the sliiiightest. But it's useful in the roles I want for him so eh#i hope that is rambling enough#it was mostly about sbi but I've been thinking about the more subtle ways hes impacted the not techno kids and wanted to ramble#philza#sbi#sbi au#sbi scp au#dsmp#tommyinnit#mcyt#technoblade#philza hc#scp philza#mandatory family reunion#something to nom on#ask

> are you happy? i guess that’s all i’d care to know.
> Getting there.
something about that speaks to me, i think. we’re all looking for scraps of happiness in our lives. we’re all trying to heal from old wounds. it’s not easy, and most days it’s a bitter fight with your own mind, but everyday you and him wake up and choose happiness and its another victory.
#this is mostly drabble dont take it too seriously#i just have Thoughts about ctommy and i need them Out of me before i explode#dsmp

unable to watch the stream for health reasons (it’s why I stopped really interacting with mcyt stuff pains too bad to focus on live content) but I’m happy the kids got to write their own ending bc it’s clear they were fucked over by A Lot the adults on that server. and i don’t even mean just in a story sense these were like 15-18 year olds around so many scummy people. like there’s the Obvious but even outside of server regulars there were guests and at least one of those (MrBeast) was ALSO a a child predator that let groomers hang around and catered to them in his group chats. like I don’t even care what Jack or Tommy are like now they could be bank robbers I wouldn’t know I’m in too much pain to watch their shit but like, no matter what they didn’t deserve to be in dangerous environments as barely adults and not even that in tommys case and they didn’t deserve to have their art fucked over by those adults either. they’re allowed to write their own ending to that I think.
#I think people forget how even though Most people on the dsmp were. fine. mostly. a lot of them still made inappropriate comments to them#for one. and like for another there were multiple predators in an enviroment with teenagers and young adults with no safeguarding#like. that’s traumatic at the best of times and i think no matter what the kids on that server end up being like#they’re allowed to reclaim it and their OCs however they want. like i know nothing about Jack manifold but if giving c!Jack an epilogue#like. is in any way cathartic. good for him.
