#your one and only dsmp post from me ever

[a-bucket-in-the-void]

i don’t post about dsmp ever cause it’s been a long time sense i’ve been interested in it and when i was… it was certainly a time thats for sure

but i can’t help but feel poetic about that ending

because before it ended it was ramping up so much

there were new players, everyone had their own special lore going on, and there was so many big things happening, it just felt so dangerous and so convoluted and just so so much

and then all of the sudden, before any of that gets any proper resolution

nothing

for years, just

radio silence

until one day jack decided it would be funny to bring it back for a stream

and it wasn’t that long and we only saw two characters

and that simplicity is almost better

and it feels peaceful, finally seeing the server quiet

and so much has happened and yet it feels like the beginning of something

something new

something that we don’t need to know about

something quiet

at last

idk

i hope tommy gets to go to a village nearby and buy things at the market and no one remembers him as anything other than the nice man who buys bread at their uncle’s store

the thing about proship/antiship discourse is its VERY new. im only 18, right? i remember being in the lego ninjago fandom as a kid, and the biggest ship was called greenflame. this ship is between the characters kai and lloyd, both 17 i believe, but lloyd was 10 when the show started and he was aged up to 17 using a magic tea.

greenflame back in the day was probably the biggest gay ship in the fandom, and the creators acknowledged and supported it multiple times. it was only ever beat out by the 1 canon straight ship, which at the time mightve only been semi-canon/leading into being canon.

i returned to the ninjago fandom a few years ago, and suddenly greenflame is considered problematic. why? because lloyd was aged up with a magic tea, and there was a debate about whether or not his brain was aged or just his body. now, let me remind you, these are legos. these are literally animated lego ninja.

i was surprised because of how big greenflame had been in my childhood. it was one of my first ships ever, and really helped me get into gay communities at a time where i was finding out i was queer. now its being shunned and called problematic, and people who read greenflame fics or make art of them together are... called pedophiles?? people drawing canonically same aged legos kissing. are being called pedophiles.

and this didnt just happen to the ninjago fandom. i watched in real time as harry potter went the same way. when i was younger, ships like snamione (snape x hermione) were huge for some reason alongside your typical drarry and all that. i, and a lot of other people, didnt like these ships. but back then, harassment wasnt even in the question. back then, i blocked people or chose not to look up snamione stuff. when i saw a ship i hated, i ignored it.

and people used to generally have that "dont like, dont read" mindset. when i was maybe 12 or 13 i wrote a fred weasley x george weasley fanfic and posted it to wattpad, and it got very minimal hate comments and a good bit of praise. i even showed it to a family member who thought it was cool, if a little weird. but now? if i were to post something like that? it would be attacked, i could be harassed, potentially doxxed or accused of being a terrible person in real life.

its not a case of people's shipping preferences changing, really. its a case of people's morals changing, airing towards purity culture and allowing harassment when you see find art you dont like. what used to be a culture of "live and let live" now is a culture of "if you dont engage in this fiction in what i deem as the morally perfect way, you will be shunned from the fandom and your real life reputation is 100% at risk." which IS NOT OKAY.

and yes, its very much because of the pandemic causing normies to enter fandom in major ways for the first time. i watched IN REAL TIME through the DSMP fandom as normal everyday people got super involved in a fandom, started using fandom sites like ao3, and changed the culture. they started making rules and trying to push their preferences onto other people's fanfic and fanart, and thus the proship community was born as a reaction to that unprecedented hate.

ive always liked to write about darker subjects, but ive never felt like my safety was in danger for it, until 2021 when i wrote a few romantic age gap fanfics about some youtubers and somebody in my real life found out. he was part of this moral purity crowd, and he spread rumours to my entire school that i was a pedophile for the fanfics i was writing. mind you, i was 15, and the characters were both older than me.

my fandom journey as a writer is a perfect exanple of how fandom culture has been fucked up by normies getting too close. when i was a kid, i wrote greenflame fic and had close friends i still talk to today who loved my work. when i was a bit older in the harry potter fandom, i wrote a twincest fic that overall was well recieved and wasnt used to try and judge my moral character. a few years ago as a teenager, i wrote some age gap fluff and GOT ACCUSED OF BEING A PEDO IN REAL LIFE because of my fanfictions. that is a crazy switch.

this whole post is a ramble/rant but i think i got my point across.

I am just going to put this at the top : this post is going to be a long vent about missing Technoblade, please scroll on if you do not wish to read.

We are coming up on two years without him.

We are also coming up on three years since I discovered his content.

I thought I was at the point I could watch one of his videos tonight, as I used to often do when I am doing tasks or writing he was always the background noise I used. I remember calling into work when he streamed for the sheer sake of enjoying them while they happened the few times I caught them before...well. I think you know. He was the reason my passion for writing came back to life and I believed I could actually follow my lifelong dream of eventually publishing a story.

But I suppose the part I always forget about grief is the absence of the unique spirit that person brought to your life. I found his content and engaged with it instantly, developing one of the longest running fixations I have had in a good while. The sheer excitement I'd have getting the notification he went live for one of his rare streams.

I don't think it truly sunk in when he announced his diagnosis. I remember discussing it with the irl friend who got me into watching him and both of us laughed, saying he's strong enough to fight off anything.

A few months pass with his rare posts and there was always this tiny little bit of intuition I had where he never told us what severity of cancer it was. Like he was a very private guy, yes, but this seemed extra...odd.

Then I remember the way my heart sunk when 'so long nerds' popped into my notification bar. The dashing of my heart against the floor texting people as I tearfully listened to Technodad tell us the words his son Alex wished for us to hear.

Its been a long two years. Its been great ones, tbh. I found a new passion with QSMP and Hermitcraft after the finishing of DSMP [tho c!Techno will forever remain close to my heart]. I kept writing, with over half a million words in published fics on ao3 and several WIP including 3 original novels.

But the only one I ever wanted to thank for helping me find my creativity again I can't, and I never will be able to.

I miss Technoblade.

I will never stop missing him.

I wish he could have laughed with his friends for many years yet, being silently proud of their accomplishments while he messed with people on the QSMP. I wish he could have had another MCC with friends.

I wish his unique soul wasn't taken from us so soon, as we weren't done following our hero yet.

But the only thing I can do now is continue to speak his tales. The first book I properly publish, the gratitude page is going to be addressed to him. I will continue to tell others about his accomplishments and tell them to go watch his content on his Youtube channel [get him to 17 million!]! Buy some of his merch [when it comes back in stock]! Support his family & friends!

Though he would call us nerds for crying, I think its beautiful how many lives he touched and how many thousands mourned his passing. He was a light all corners of the MCYT sphere and beyond saw and respected, and not too many creators can claim such an honour.

I'll always be a Voice at my core. Even if I spend my time these days as a crow, a huevito, a ferret, a tubling, a doozer and many more, my heart will forever belong to Technoblade.

Please keep creating art and writing in his name. I love scrolling the fanart tags and adore every piece I come across with my favourite piglin in them. Please, please, please keep saying his name. Sing his legends. Make references, continue the jokes, hang out in one of his friends chats and support the people he loved.

Support those who are still here, even if your heart hurts.

It's only painful because we all loved him so much, which is a beautiful type of sorrow.

I was going to share this on my blog, but I figured I could get your opinion directly. (And send you a more positive ask.)

So it came to my attention a few weeks ago that cc!Wilbur confirmed that c!Wilbur is in fact in his 40s (explaining why his son c!Fundy isn’t a toddler), and it got me thinking yesterday…. Who else in the DSMP is older than we think? I think c!Bad is one for sure but it’s kind of assumed he’s older anyways. I don’t count c!Techno or c!Phil as it’s pretty well established that their ages are somewhere between ageless and absolutely ancient.

But I would like to propose that c!Quackity is older because of the questionably canon (?) stream where his son takes over Las Nevadas. I say questionably because this felt like a one off stream, and I can’t remember if it was ever brought up again. But the implications of that are just… oof.

I was also wondering do we have confirmation about anyone else being older than the fandom attributes to them? Because this actually fascinates me, and would explain a lot about the type of character everyone was playing.

Kind of a rambly ask, but this is now plaguing my brain and I must share it.

I thought he was forty after his time in Limbo? Egh, I don’t know, though as an aside it ain’t like the age between him and Fundy has to make sense since a fish is his mom lol. The thing about c!Quackity’s son, which I believe is when cc!Quackity got locked out of his Minecraft account and he made an alt and they goofed around, I think was retconned either by c!Foolish during the stream when c!Dream comes to visit him or in an XD stream I’ve watched recently. As far as Bad and other characters, I’m not sure. From what I can tell it’s not implied that there is much difference in age between cc!s and c!s besides Philza and Techno and c!Sam’s body swapping thing, but we do know some characters’s ages for sure. For instance, c!Tommy’s age is referenced quite a bit in lore so he stays the same, and I’m pretty sure there are others but that’s the only one that comes to mind at the moment.

However, it’s funny that you should mention this because it just so happens that sometime after I made the post about their ages [here] I came across a poster in the casino announcing Quackity’s 28th birthday (marked in turquoise), which is interesting…

So perhaps they have different ages after all, which begs the question though whose ages are different and whose are the same and what does that say about the lore… Was Dream still 21 while being tortured by Quackity?…

[bloodiest-sicknesses]

Before everything.

Sorry for the long post, this will be alot.

No trigger warnings, I think? If you find any. Please tell me.

So, before joining the RQ community I was a bit. Confused with life. It was hard trying to find somewhere to belong. Proshipping spaces were so… its hard to explain but it felt wrong ish. Then plural spaces, but the negativity was harmful. This community has done so much… though it wasn’t all that good.

The labels, it was all too much. People are amazing, yet I regret what I’ve done to myself. I regret trying to fit in way too well. I regret trying to make myself seem like one when I’m not.

I am radqueer. I am anti contact. Even if others (read: systemates) are pro contact.

Most importantly, I am not going to be active as much anymore.

With everything going on with life, America, and just the world in general, I have made the decision to focus on myself most importantly.

I really like all the friends I’ve made on here, all the followers, everyone who’ve ever interacted with me, but I genuinely just can’t. I just can’t.

But I have to be up front; I lied about being a system. Well, not really, I really am a system, it is just that mainly, I have delusional attachments. I still am a system entirely, but with an entirely smaller headcount than I thought. And due to these D.As, not only has my mental health gotten worse. I am not a system faker, though I am not who I say I am.

I want to apologize, most of all, to @ghosty-dsmp. Genuinely, you are an amazing person and the best person that could ever, ever be in my life. I genuinely appreciate and admire you in the highest way I can. I genuinely hope that life will become the best it could ever be. You truly deserve nothing but happiness and love and appreciation and support.

To @rq-tubz, I too hope your life gets infinitely better. Your so kind and sweet and pleasant to talk to. I you and your system will forever be happy and safe. I hope you will be forever safe and live in happiness for the rest of your life.

I genuinely love this community, but I am only a teen with my life ahead of me. Sometimes, though, it seems like to much. I want to plan for my live, to be happy, to heal from all my trauma and pains, to not be so online that I lose grip of myself.

To everyone who read to the end, thank you. I wish everyone the best life ever and to be safe during these times. Just in case you ever need help, whether you need to ‘borrow’ something, or run away, or just how to live life in general, here is a link to a google doc.

Stay safe everybody <3

Been trying to put a finger on why the Dream situation pisses me off and I think I figured it out.

I spent nights staring at my ceiling listening to change my clothes and dreaming about a future that I'm scared I'll never get to have. I watched every single one of his videos, read the fanfiction, sang the songs, knew the memes and jokes, couldn't look at a kettle or fork or the goddamn color green without thinking about him. And yeah, maybe it was weird, but I was TWELVE and he was the first person I had ever seen in media that was like me. That couldn't sit still, that talked weird, that just didn't quite fit in. I had a community when I was watching tiktoks about him and reading countless Tumblr posts about the dsmp lore.

It was covid and I was a kid and I was lonely and I needed so badly to have a place where I didn't have to watch the walls in my room seemed to get closer every moment.

I started having panic attacks when I went out in public, the people I was friends with started to realize I wasn't normal, that full body twitches and flappy hands weren't the typical reaction to a good song or too-bright lights. I was so lonely.

And then I found Dream's videos. And they helped me have a place where I wasn't alone in my room, feeling like a crazy person for my tics and my gender.

I cared so fucking much about this guy, trusted him with that naive trust that kids have that people are telling the truth, and then he turned out to be taking advantage of that in his fans.

It really fucking sucked to find out that my idol wasn't a good person.

And I had him on a pedestal, I thought he was perfect, I would have taken a bullet for him, alright? I cared so much because he was the only person I had ever seen who was like me.

It wasn't normal. It wasn't just me being a normal fan. I was a stan, was a parasocial fan, whatever you want to call it.

Burt he didn't do anything to stop thousands of kids just like me from being parasocial, in fact he encouraged it.

It just bothers me to think that the entire time he was telling us he cared, 12 year old me was just another viewer. Not because I was just another viewer, but because he lied to me and told me I wasn't. I am fine with just being a fan, but being told that I'm important and significant by someone who has no way of caring about me really sucked. It sucked because it really felt like he cared, but I was always just another view, another like, another subscriber, commenter, buyer. Just another consumer.

I was emotionally dependent on him and he did nothing to discourage that behavior from thousands of fans and it's disgusting because now he's taking advantage of those same fans, using them for money, flirting with MINORS that have been conditioned to care about him.

And now a huge portion of my childhood, a huge portion of the happiness I got from being part of his community, feels so gross and tainted and I will never get to have that again. I will never get to have back those days where I could watch his videos and listen to his songs.

And I fucking loved the songs.

I loved the music, music has always been a huge deal for me, and I loved it.

Now every time I hear those stupid songs I'm taken back to when I was twelve, picturing high school and thinking about my friends and all of the things twelve year olds care about. And I miss it, and I miss the stupid songs, because I can't hear them the same anymore and they should be special to me. They should be honey-dipped nostalgia and now they are gross and unsettling.

It fucking sucks to see him parade around and talk about how he deserve sympathy because he is autistic, however true that may be, because I am autistic, and it's not fun. It's not just being a little too blunt or developing a little slower. Those may be symptoms, but that's not what autism is. It's sobbing in the middle of the lunch hall as a year 8 because you have the wrong number or apple slices in your lunch. Autism isn't some excuse for behaving like a manchild, is is something that has fucked up so much for my life. And he uses it for sympathy points.

It sucks because I related so much to him and now that I know who he really is, I am left to wonder if I will be like him one day.

It took a big part of my childhood that I should be able to look back on with fondness and sort of ruined the memories.

It sucks because part of me will always care so goddamn much even if he's fucking terrible. Even if I would avoid him if I saw him in public. Even if i have him blocked on all social media. Even if i threw away every fanart i drew of him and the dream hoodie i bought with my own money. Part of me wishes he would redeem himself so I could love his songs again. Even if I really wish he would just lose his platform right now and never fucking speak again, I miss my childhood so damn much.

Kinda fucked me up to have something I cared so much about sort of destroyed in front of me just because a man that I thought could do no wrong was a shitty person.

Anyways, I hope he burns.

Hello, I wanted to ask how you're able to find peace in being open as a factive married to another factive? /gen I live in constant fear of being invalidated in the fandom. Sometimes I wish I could be out like you and other factives out here on Tumblr, but I couldn't fathom the idea that someone out there will harass me for "impersonating" my source... at the same time, I don't want people to see me either. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I think I just wanted to hear what you think of all this, from factive to factive. If you ever find this ask relevant to answer, thank you.

I know the feeling, sort of. Honestly when I got this I wasn't sure exactly how I would respond, because I don't really open up much and I don't consider myself someone who's good at emotional conversations with people, but I knew I wanted to reply. I just had to navigate how, I guess? Build up a response. Sorry for the wait.

I wish I had some magic cure all answer for you but honestly? On my end, I don't- although Tommy might have something. I've felt that feeling before, but in very little dosages in comparison to him.

Like, I had the advantage of Tommy making his Tumblr account before I did, so people knew I existed even before I made my own account. I DID have a Pinterest back then, and I did mention being a factive on there but people don't really talk on that site... All I really did when I first made a Tumblr was that I avoided talking to other JSE fans until I knew a specific person was okay for x, y, z reason, and then over time by doing that I just sort of fell into place?

But honestly I didn't get much backlash period. When I did it wasn't about me impersonating my source; it was about me either not being a real alter or about me being disrespectful to him because I'm in a relationship that's. My own relationship. Which is incredibly stupid but still. Even then though, it was only a few people and we just...both blocked them.

And I wasn't even that hesitant! Like I was worried yes, but not nearly as much as Tommy because I had seen introjects in my fandom be treated well, I'd even seen my source interact with some directly, so I knew it was safe.

Tommy was the direct opposite because his fandom is considered "cringe" and alters from there get made fun of, and also because he was concerned that the DSMP fandom specifically is/was harsh or hostile and that he'd have a harder time. So he'd probably be a better example to pull from, I think?

I defenitely know he was terrified at first. Like, REALLY terrified. He used to put spaces between "Tommy" and "innit", or even censor letters: only making an exception for his intro post at the time. He didn't interact with any DSMP posts or blogs at ALL, he was open about his identity in his bio and still went by Tommy, but was careful not to let any ofnhis posts pop up in the notes of DSMP blogs or in any dsmp-related searches. And nowadays that's obviously not the case anymore.

But as far as I'm aware that mostly just came from time, blocking a LOT of blogs pre-emptively if their bio or pinned implied we might have problems, and making one or two friends who WERE active and could ease him into it. I think he just got bolder as he realized how little people actually care? Fakeclaimers and assholes are real and out there but it's not a daily chore so long as you block people regularly (even if you just see them in passing, if you see a post from someone you've never met who thinks factives aren't real or something, do your future selves a favor and block just in case they find you later) and stay out of r/systemcringe and similar circles. I can't even remember how long ago the last time we got hate was but it was at LEAST before September.

Don't check your indirects- don't Google or search your username, don't check to see if you're on cringe compilations. Ignore anything you can and block it when it gets in your feed directly, and you'll find that all your nightmares about fakeclaimers are usually overzealous. They're awful, but they aren't super common. It's important to know how to prevent them from getting worse (don't post or reply to hate, for example) but it's also not something you'll encounter on a daily or even weekly basis, at least not in our experience. It's not as bad as your brain is telling you it is. Your imagination is scarier than reality.

If you want any more information on this though, then again I'll have to point you to Tommy. I know his anons are off right now as I'm posting this but he usually keeps them on and only turned them off temporarily for the first few days of that septicinnit poll thing- he'll turn them back on soon and you should be able to message him on anon once he does, assuming you want to stay anonymous and everything.

Good luck, and I hope you find peace of mind. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to be yourself. /Gen

hey guys,, who wants to see this new dsmp au i've thought up of instead of working on my other countless, already existing aus.

still trying to come up with a proper name for it,,, right now the working title is shattered reflections...? buuuut i'm not too content with that yet.

the basic plot is, via ~wacky shenanigans~,, ranboo, tommy, and tubbo,, all from different universes,, end up getting misplaced together in the multiverse or something like that, and now have to hop from dimension to dimension, trying to find their way back to their respective homes(and maybe they'll find that the real home was the friends they made along the way).

still need to iron out a few kinks(how did this start, how do they travel, how does it end, etc etc),, but like. it's been rotting in my brain ever since the idea first came to my head, so i figured i might as well share it here? in case anyone else's interested,, dkdnsksms.

ranboo's from a magical girl-like au!!! why? mostly because i thought the idea was fun,, ekenkssjks. tried my best to emulate an anime style into the design, 'm hoping it came across? i've been imagining, if this au were animated like spiderverse,, they'd look a lot like how peni parker was animated,, dkdmskdm. you'll never guess what his magical girl form is themed on /lh.

tommy, as you can prolly tell, is from a royalty au! youngest prince of the antarctic empire,,, design is slightly based on some fanart i saw on reddit, by someone called em0kii, i believe? i say slightly because i only thought to search up "antarctic empire fanart" for inspo after i was done with the lineart,, and by that time it was too late for me to change it to something that better fit the cold environment the kingdom's based on(and by too late i mostly mean i was lazy),,, dkdjskj. still, though, i'm pretty happy with it!

and then there's tubbo! he's from a post-apocalyptic au B]. not one with zombies,, but... idk, maybe something exploded? haven't thought too hard about the cause, but just know that his world is in a not good shape. i'm sure it's fine tho. my main thoughts when drawing him were to make him less colorful and saturated than the other two,, since his universe is a bit darker than theirs,,,, and to make him look a little intimidating(big coat, goggles, scarf, lots of sharp edges, plaid). after all, if you're a 5' something teen in the apocalypse, living all on your own– you wanna try and make yourself look as big as possible to try and ward off as many threats as you can. and if that doesn't work, you can always just hit 'em with a bat.

tfw you wake up in the middle of a forest, with no memory of getting there, with two weirdly dressed strangers right there beside you. like. what the fuck.

[gummi-stims]

🍬Guidelines & Introduction🍭

Requests are OPEN! Current inbox: 3

Welcome! You can call me Gummi, I go by she/they pronouns, and I make stimboards, though my schedule for actually making them might be a bit all over the place with my work schedule and as fixation comes and goes.

I'm an adult with a soft spot for a lot of children's media, so while I will post boards for kids' shows/movies/etc I will also be posting boards for media aimed at adults (which may include things such as drugs and slight gore being shown/mentioned), though nothing here will ever be outright NSFW and I tag blood/gore and other such things. Also, beware if you're not okay with bugs! I love bugs and post/use gifs of them pretty frequently.

To make a request, you'll need to provide your preferred picture/thing/theme to base it around (if it's a canon character and you didn't have a specific pic in mind you don't need to provide a pic, but PLEASE provide the media said character is from at the least and, if there's more than one version/form of the character, which one), as well as any colors, themes, and specific types of stim you may want (and any you absolutely DON'T want). A theme and specific wants are not required, but they're extremely helpful!

Ex: [Insert character] from [insert fandom] with pink and blue, space themes, and sparkly stims but no slime

Also, please do not tag my posts as kin/otherkin/therian/me/id if reblogging

Subjects I will and won't make boards for below!

Things I will make boards for:

👍 Canon characters

👍 OCs (both fandom ocs and own-universe ocs)

👍 Images - give me an image to base the vibe around and I'll do my best (includes dumb meme images)

👍 Personal stuffed animals

👍 Repeat boards of things I've done before, but only if you provide a specific theme/element you want that isn't present/major in the board I already made

👍 Pride flags

👍 Specific species of animal/bug/etc

👍 Multiple-character boards (not for ships, 4 character max)

👍 Specific models of toy/stuffed animal (for example, my boards for different furby colors/patterns)

👍 Your pets

Things I will not make boards for:

👎 Real people - say, a youtuber, your actual best friend, a musician/group of musicians, or an actor (characters played by a live-action actor are fine, including youtube series where the youtuber plays a different character, but I won't do one for the actor themself). I won't make boards based on personal accounts either.

👎 Ships (I'm okay with a lot of ships, but I won't be doing boards for them)

👎 Incest/incestous characters

👎 Your specific au version of a character (I may do some au characters if I'm already familiar with and like the au, so you can still try asking, but don't get your hopes too high on that)

Nettles

George gets too ahead of himself and runs barefoot over a nettle patch. GeorgeHD wants to leave George with the rash to teach him a lesson but he'd be a bad big brother if he let George suffer. Luckily HD has another way to teach George a lesson.

Mushieeeee~ It's hereeee~

So Mushie did a fantastic Lee George week and he graciously let me join and said I could post it at any time. So this is a Day 7 prompt of Lee George week.

Set in the God Sibling AU, sometime after HD and George reunite again.

Pls enjoy :)

---

It was a peaceful, idealistic day on the DSMP. The sun had been comfortably warm without being overbearing. The grass seemed greener and the flowers smelled sweeter. Everything was perfect.

“You bloody idiot!”

Almost perfect.

Not wanting to waste a good day, GeorgeHD visited his brother George and coaxed the sleepy brunette out of his bed and into the world. Despite his grumbling and whining when he was first dragged out his cottage, George actually began to enjoy his day. He was comfortably warm and HD had him help with designing a new flower meadow which was endearingly fun.

The good times weren’t meant to last of course. HD had asked George to gather some more flowers, but had warned him away from a spot just down the hill. While a lovely arrangement of tulips lay there, they were surrounded by random patches of nettles and it wasn’t worth the trouble.

George, being ever so confident and boastful, claimed he could easily avoid the nettles and get the tulips. He pointed out a spot where the nettles were thinnest around the tulips and despite HD’s shout for him he ran towards them.

He stepped right into a patch of nettles, barefoot, on his second step.

“I should have left you there in the nettles!” HD fumed as he carried his younger brother into the mushroom cottage. “You were about to fall into another one if I hadn’t caught you!”

George said nothing but huffed with a whining tone. He had made an embarrassing scream when he felt the nettles touch his foot and now he was being carried like a maiden to his home. His only solace was that thankfully the two had not passed anyone on his way home.

When he was brought to his front room, George was dropped onto his couch. Dropped was a very kind way to describe it. He nearly fell off the couch with the force of the bounce, but he stabled himself.

HD had left the room for a moment to collect a glass of water for himself and George. He drank his glass quickly.

“My foot still hurts…” George meekly admitted. Throughout the travel back home his foot had felt like it was burning, but now it was a constant throbbing pain. “I think nettles are still in there.”

“Probably.” HD lowered his glass. “Your foot will be sore for a couple of days. It might turn red to a rash.”

That did not sound pleasant. George looked up to HD, with his best doe eyes and sorrowful expression. “That will hurt…”

“Yes I imagine it would.” HD replied unmoved.

“But… But then I’ll be stuck inside and I can’t help you. And I’ll be sore. And you can heal me so I can help you and…”

“Alright!” HD raised a hand to stop him. “Alright. If your eyes go any bigger they’ll pop out of your skull. I’ll heal you.”

George held back the smile, thinking it would come off as smug. HD nudged at his leg, and George shimmied up. He rested his back onto the arm of the couch and HD sat at the other end.

“I should leave you in pain to teach you a lesson about listening to me.” HD spoke while they grabbed George’s ankle and set it on their lap. “But I’d be a poor older sibling if I left you to suffer.”

HD’s fingers touched over the tender skin of George’s right foot, starting at his heel. It hurt and George held back his yelp to a small jolt in his leg. Eventually where HD touched the pain had faded to a calming coolness that washed away any semblance of discomfort, and George sighed in relief.

The fingers stayed on his heel before slowly moving up, touching at his arch and spreading the cold and getting rid of more of the ache. George relaxed back onto the arm of the couch, letting his thoughts wander. With his foot healed he could beg HD to let him help with the meadow again, and HD wouldn’t refuse his brother.

The fingers carefully went up to the ball of his foot, the pain almost gone, when George felt his skin start to tingle. It was like the opposite of the nettle sting. Instead of burning the tingling spread from the ball of his foot, touching his toes and slightly down his arch. It prickled his skin in softer ways, like pins and needles feeling without the numbness.

It was surprising and it tickled.

George couldn’t catch his reaction fast enough. The laugh bubbled from his lips before he clamped them shut, letting a few little giggles slip out. The urge to pull his foot away was strong, but HD had a firm hold on it and George couldn’t be sure if he stopped himself or HD just didn’t let it go.

“I cannot heal you if you keep wiggling.” HD’s voice was firm and betrayed nothing of what he was doing. He kept the voice and hold of a disapproving brother, but his fingers brushed over the ball of George’s foot, softer than they had over the rest of it. It still tingled along his skin, and HD was too skilled of a healer to accidentally let it happen.

They’re doing it on purpose! They’re punishing me but I won’t let them win.

While George meant it, thinking about his resolve and actually sticking to it were two different things. His mind was strong but his flesh weakened and shuddered under HD’s fingers that slipped down to his heel again.

It took a lot of strain for George to speak without laughing, and even then some giggles slipped out. “You’ve hehehealed me. You can s-stohop.”

“I want to go over again and make sure. If I leave any of the toxin in it’ll cause a rash.” HD replied so coolly.

“L-Lihisten…”

“Do you not want me to heal you, little Prince?” HD looked up from their work. Their eyes were hidden behind the wraps covering them, but their expression was clear. They held a small smile which looked innocent on it’s own but with their unseen eyes made it taunting. “Don’t you want to be healed?”

He absolutely knew what he was doing. His fingers stilled, with the tingling just pulling back to a small feeling. Tickly but not enough to make George laugh.

“You know what happens when you get a rash, right?” HD asked and the tingling stopped.

“Wh-What…?”

“You get itchy.” And his fingers move. Skittering and spidering up and down George’s foot as his other hand tightened around George’s ankle.

The control flood out of George’s system and in the place was nervous panic to escape. He pulled himself up, bending over to make a grab for HD’s hands but he felt a hand push on his chest and he was pushed back onto the couch. A white ephemeral hand pushed firmly down on George’s chest and stopped his attempt. No matter how much George pushed and wiggled he couldn’t get back up. His other leg was still free, but when he tried to kick it was grabbed and pulled under HD’s leg, kept firmly out of place.

George had no defence other than screaming with laughter, pleading for his sibling to stop as they lightly scratched up to the ball of his foot and wiggled over his toes.

“Plehehease! PleEHEhahaSE! PLEHEHEHEHEASE!” George giggled and writhed over the couch. It was torture being the only thing he could move was his foot, but HD followed it move for move with such precision.

“This is what you get for running off so carelessly!” HD’s voice playfully growled. “And after I warned you too!”

“ThaHAT’S n-nohohot faHAhair!” George whined as much as his laughter would let him. He had shuffled enough to turn slightly on his side, though it didn’t help him much. HD was merciful and let his foot turn with him so it wasn’t at an uncomfortable angle, but HD’s scratching stopped at his foot and now the God was wiggling his finger over George’s big toe and tickling on the soft skin underneath it.

“P-Plehease! Please!” George giggled.

“Are you sorry for running through the nettle patch?” HD asked calmly, though his finger continued tickling.

“Yes yes!” George gasped. There was a spot right under his big toe that sent shock wave after shock wave of electricity through him. It jolted through his nerves but he couldn’t escape. Only giggle and laugh.

“And you’re sorry for not listening to me?” HD added.

“YEHEhes!” George almost screamed.

“And you think I’m the best brother you’ve ever had and you wish you were half as clever as me?”

“YohOHO-” George gasped again. HD’s nails scribbled down his foot again, focusing on the ball his foot before moving down and then quickly tickling back up again. “YOhoHOur mihiy ohohonly brohohother!”

“Well then it should be very easy to admit it.” HD pointed out so calmly. Like he wasn’t tickling the absolute life out of his little brother. “So I’m the best brother you’ve ever had?”

“YEHEHES!” George screamed, pounding his fist into the couch cushions. “YES YOUOU’RE THEHE BEHEHEST!”

“And you wish you were half as clever as me?”

“YES! YEHEHEHES! JUHUHUST STOHOHOP!”

HD stopped immediately. He let go of George’s ankle and let the leg he was holding between his own go too. As soon as he was free the younger brunette curled up into a giggling lump on the couch. He pulled his feet up far away from HD as he could, trying and failing to cover his feet from anymore attacks.

“Oh it wasn’t that bad, you big baby.” HD rolled their eyes.

“N-Not bahad?! That was t-torture! You nearly killed mehehe...” George panted, which didn’t give any weight to his accusation. In fact to HD it was just cuter. His hair was all a mess all over the pillows and his cheeks burned a low blush.

“Killed you? All I did was tickle your foot. If you really want me to kill you…” HD grabbed George’s ankle again and pulled his leg taunt. He just positioned one of his hands on the back of his knee and his brother went ballistic, screaming a mix of threats and pleading until HD let him go again.

“Evil! Evil you are!” George accused.

“Yes yes, I’m a villain.” HD chuckled.

George gave a squeaking scream as HD ruffled his hair but then the God left the room. Only then did George sigh and finally relax. He fully melted into the couch cushions. The tingling in his foot was slowly fading and the warmth from the afternoon sun streaming in through the windows was lulling him to shut his eyes. Just for a moment.

He probably would have fallen asleep if HD had not come back in. He placed a full glass of water down on the table beside George before tapping George’s shoulder and signalling him to get up. George, hesitantly, pushed himself up and HD slipped in to sit down.

“I think you need a nap.” HD announced as he pulled out a book from thin air.

“But…what about the meadow? I can still help.” George worried.

“You can.” HD’s voice went soft, assuring his brother of his worries. “But I think you could use a rest. We have the rest of the day to work on the meadow if we want.”

George wanted to argue more but HD’s hand was on his neck and guided him down to rest on his brother’s lap. It was comfortable, warm and George felt safe. He closed his eyes to the sound of HD opening his book and let himself slip into a gentle sleep.

Addressing Recent Events

Okay this was definitely a post I never ever wanted to create.

If you haven't already heard about the Shubble Allegations, just check out this article here.

tw: talking about abuse.

To be honest, I don't really know what to think about it all because as most people know crime boys and sbi are all I really ever write so going forward from here has me a bit hesitant.

Now I just want to be clear that I have only ever written about c!tommy and c!wilbur from the dsmp and not the actual content creators themselves, using lines and stuff from the world of dsmp. My works do not reflect and are not based on the content creators personal lives and I actual tend to stay away from diving to deep too. All my works are based on fiction and should be treated as such- just make believe stories.

I want to be clear I do not support any forms of abuse or the abusers actions. It's not right and shouldn't be treated as okay. It's just a difficult decision when c!wilbur is literally one of my comfort characters, and while it still has not been confirmed to be the creator, I can't ignore the possibilities it could be him.

Since I know most people on Tumblr are here for the gt aspect rather than the crime bois/sbi stuff, I have decided that I will be continuing to write the remaining fics I've already started for them. I currently have 4 wips that I really want to finish and post, but until Wilbur addresses the accusations or something changes I'm not sure how I want to continue writing new stuff moving forward.

I BEG writers/artists that have already created content surrounding the creator to not remove content they've already made because I swear I read those fics just to get by some days, but I definitely will not be removing my fics.

So that's where I'm at this stage. If anything changes I will try to let you know. If anyone has issues with this or comes at me in my inbox and starts abusing me for my decision, I will be blocking/deleting asks and comments. I'm a writer on the internet. I make silly fics about block men. I avoid drama like this....

Thanks for your time,

-Beckyu

So often, I go onto my Wattpad and reread old stories and think "Wow. These are bad. My writing was horrendous back then. These aren't even 1,000 word chapters"

And then I remember who I was when I was writing those fics. I was young. I didn't know a lot about writing. But, fuck, did I love to write.

I got a Wattpad account in 2020. Ever since then, I've never not been working on a fic. My first ever fic (which is now deleted and I will never forgive myself for it) had 300-400 word chapters and was written absolutely atrociously. But I loved it at the time. I was doing what I loved, writing stories.

As time went on, my stories progressed and my writing improved. My first ever true fic I was proud of (which is still up, if you'd like to read it. The Pog Island War, DSMP fandom on Wattpad) had 600 word chapters and was nowhere near the level of skill I have now. But to this day, I still reread it and love it. Do I want to rewrite it sometimes? Sure, but I don't because I want to keep those memories alive.

My first ever fic on Ao3, Nixon for short, had 1,000+ word chapters and I struggled meeting that word count sometimes. But I still reread that fic because it reminds me of a time when I was younger. It's still good. It's still my writing.

My first ever Obey Me fic, Where Crimson Meets Gold, which is barely a year old now I want to say, is still not onpar with my writing now. I love that fic. I love the whole Kiss Me, Son of God series, but even Power/Crimson 3 isn't where my writing is today (though I am quite proud of that smut).

I am constantly improving. I've come so far in my craft in only four years. I mean, I'm writing my own book now! The Mars from four years ago would be thrilled at that. Would be thrilled at where I am now. (Albeit, I think they'd be a bit terrified. I've lost a lot in four years and high school would be terrifying for little me. It's terrifying for current me)

But little me loved to write. Current me loves to write. I'm sure future me will too. And honestly, all of the support I've gotten since I've gotten this account is incredible. Every new comment gives me so much hope.

I didn't know where this post was going, but now I suppose I do. Thank you to everyone who reads my fics. Thank you to Mikey and Lotan who answer my unhinged questions. Thank you to my girlfriend, who (though forced) gives me great feedback on my fics before I post them.

You've made a lonely writer with burnout into a writer who absolutely loves all their fics, even the old ones. Thank you for all your support :)

✨Main Masterlist✨

It has come to my attention (my subconscious told me) that I need to have a big master list for all my works in here so that it’s easier to find my works. That might be correct.

So here it is!

Haven’t I Given Enough?

A Hermit!Tommy Hermitcraft x DSMP crossover

"Always the Fool with the Broken Heart..."

•

As much as he tried, there was no way for Tommy to hate his fate, he knew that there was nothing he could do to change what Irene had written in the scriptures. And yet, here he was, staring at the sky like he did that one eventful day, hopelessly watching Grian as he fought for their safety, praying that it doesn't end the way he thinks it will.

•

Fate was a cruel thing. It knew exactly what was going to happen and when, it knew who was going to help and who was going to hurt, knew that there was nothing someone could do to change it. And so you give, and give, and give, but what do you get in return? A happy ending? Love? No, you just get hurt.

Hell or High Water

A Percy Jackson x DC crossover

“And I choke myself on sacred vapor

Waiting on some holy favor

Basking in the solace of regret

And it seems my hell is your high water

Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves.”

-“High Water” Sleep Token

The Ghost of Hallowed Halls

"March eighteenth.

March eighteenth at eleven: twenty-eight am, the people of Gotham disappeared.

Damian was in the middle of class when the city had gone silent. Something was wrong, the world didn’t go quiet for Damian Wayne, that’s just not in the cards for him."

•

The people of Gotham disappeared in the blink of an eye. The only remnants that life once thrived were the empty streets and abandoned buildings, crashed cars, house fires that spread over the concrete and asphalt––and the youngest son of Bruce Wayne to tell the tale.

Inspired by “I waited” by BrickSheep on ao3 this is my take on Damian Wayne getting isolated in Gotham with minimal to no contact with the outside world

Also will soon be uploaded onto tumblr soon!

The One Minute You’re Not By My Side

For as long as he can remember, Donnie always had Leo beside him. Through every illness and injury, daydream and nightmare, Leo had been at Donnie's side; it was all he had ever known.

And then the impossible happens for one minute: Donnie was alone for one minute.

Leo doesn't understand why Donnie was so strung up after the Krang invasion, chalking it up to him being protective over everyone and shutting himself off for some reason or other. When confronting him, Leo learns why his twin had been distancing himself from him.

An ROTMNT post- movie one shot about Donnie and Leo.

[sunflower-chai]

Hi!! This is a really dumb question, and you 100% don't have to answer it, but I keep seeing your reblogs of dsmp - what is it? What's it about? How had it taken a hold of your soul and what do you take from it?

oh mouse. you have opened the floodgates.

so basically dsmp (aka dream smp but i don’t call it that anymore bc the content creator dream, who the server is named after, is a terrible person. which is a whole other can of worms i won’t get into) is a survival multiplayer (hence SMP) minecraft server that tells a story via improvised roleplay. it ran from april 2020 - april 2023 and grew from 4 members on the first day to 39 members by the end. it also featured a handful of guests including, i kid you not, michael clifford from 5 seconds of summer and lil nas x. the story was primarily distributed via livestreams on youtube and twitch, though some members and fans created highlight videos on youtube.

how do i explain what dsmp is about? overall, it’s a heavily character-driven story with many different factions, wars, and eras. each member essentially wrote their own story, and fans could pick whose POV they were most interested in and follow along with whatever lore was created. (at one point there was a head writer who, surprise surprise, also turned out to be a terrible person. are you sensing the pattern here?) so honestly the answer to “what is the dsmp about?” is different depending on which members/characters you choose to pay attention to.

i got interested in the server in early 2021 when someone i followed on tumblr for a completely unrelated fandom started posting about it (which is how i get into most new interests these days lol). i looked up some clips on youtube and discovered the content creator tommyinnit via an among us gameplay video. i thought he was really funny and checked out his channel. the first video of his i watched was “the funniest minecraft video ever,” which was edited from one of his dsmp streams where he and two other members created a religion based on twitch prime subscriptions. it’s ridiculous and still makes me laugh to this day. so after that i decided i wanted to know what this minecraft server was all about. i found VODs (archived livestream recordings) of the big events on the server and watched as many as i could. honestly i had to skip around a lot because there was simply too much content to catch up on, and a lot of members didn’t save their VODs. that was another reason i tended to follow tommy’s POV, he uploaded all of his twitch VODs to a separate youtube channel. he also streamed less frequently and for shorter time periods than most of the members so it was a more manageable amount of stuff to watch. after i got decently caught up, i started tuning in for the dsmp streams live. and boy oh boy did i become obsessed. spring of 2021 i was a junior in college and i hardly left my apartment because of covid restrictions. i was incredibly bored and developing depression (which i would not realize until i went to therapy that summer and got referred to a psychiatrist for diagnosis. but i digress). dsmp was genuinely the only thing that got me excited anymore.

spring-summer 2021 was honestly a golden age for dsmp fans because so much lore was happening at such a rapid pace and it was EXHILIRATING. the fandom would churn out analysis, fanfics, art, animatics, and even original songs at the speed of light. everyone would liveblog during big lore events and it was just such a fun community to be a part of, even though i mainly lurked on tumblr back then. the source material was nothing but minecraft blocks and webcams, so i think it really allowed the fans’ creativity to flow. the fans truly carried that server, particularly SAD-ist’s animatics on youtube and derivakat’s fan songs, though my favorite song was beetlebug’s “an ode to l’manburg.”

so you’re probably wondering: what the heck is l’manburg? so this gets into what i think truly made the server worth investing in, which was the storytelling. “l’manburg” was a fictional country created on the dsmp server. it actually started out as a van used to sell “drugs” (aka minecraft potions), created by c!tommy and c!wilbur (c! = character, to differentiate between roleplay and the actual content creators). basically wilbur wanted to roleplay breaking bad lol. a bunch of the other server members cracked down on this “illegal” business, so c!wilbur decided to form his own country on the land surrounding the van (now a hot dog van), declaring independence from the greater SMP so citizens would be free to do what they want. he called it l’manburg because it “sounded european,” and all of the citizens at the time were european while those still loyal to the greater SMP were mostly american. the citizens of l’manburg at the time were c!wilbur, c!tommy, c!tubbo, c!fundy, and c!eret. the greater SMP didn’t take kindly to this new country’s existence, so c!dream issued a declaration of war, and thus began the l’manburg war for independence, which was really an excuse to do hamilton roleplay (yes, it’s all very silly but i love it. it gets much more serious later on). anyway i don’t want to say much more in case you decide to give it a watch, but if you do good luck. i would recommend blueberry tv on youtube, who does a great job condensing the most important moments into 20ish minute episodes. they have a playlist called “dream smp plot playlist” which is a good place to start.

okay now i’m taking this opportunity to gush a little about c!tommy, one of my favorite characters in anything ever. he starts out as a loud, funny, slightly annoying, mean-to-your-face but kind-at-heart sixteen year old kid, and by the end he’s eighteen, he’s literally been to hell and back, he’s a little quieter, a bit jaded, and doesn’t easily trust others or even his own mind. but even after everything he goes through, he still tries to believe the best in people and stubbornly holds onto hope that things will get better. he’s incredibly loyal to his friends. he loves things that most people would overlook and he loves them hard. he communicates his feelings in convoluted metaphors that are accidentally poetic. he constantly listens to music, probably has an unhealthy attachment to it, but he’s willing to give it up if it means freedom and happiness for his friends. he deals with so much unfair treatment and abuse and trauma and he could so easily give into despair or allow those experiences to darken his morals but nothing is ever able to completely dull his spark. it would honestly be easier to give up or become the villain, but it’s just not in his nature. i just love him so much man 😭
