#Bad and Sapnap are plotting

[bleue-flora]

Thought in light of my playlist with all of the Tommy lore, (btw if I missed anything let me know and I’ll try to find and add it) I’d also share all the playlists I have saved that could be useful to people watching lore or making their own playlists. There are also some other ones on my channel that you can check out if you want to, some of which I’m still working on (marked *). I have also posted lore resources before [here] and [here], which mention people like @spit-bite-glitch and @Wishdreamerx on youtube who have playlists by month.

{Also, I am trying to put together a dream playlist, which since he mostly doesn't have his own pov and sticks his head into everything, is quite a challenge, so if you are currently going through lore or something and come across the green boy it would be a big help if you would let me know, no need to provide time stamps or anything just a link, or even like just informing me of maybe some smaller lore you know he shows up in. I'd really appreciate it<3}

Timeline Playlist Links:

<> - <> - <> - <> - <> - <>

Anyways, this one is probably one of if not the best playlists I found. It does a pretty thorough job and includes lots of povs, it is understandably missing a few small things, but it’s really good and can definitely help you get a good view of the timeline too:

[th3-c0ll3ct3r]

Mildly warm take, Tommy does NOT owe his entire career to Dream

Because, YES the dream smp help propel his career as a content creator, but it does not constitute to everything you've done to make himself and his brand better

Did dream write all the jokes? The vlogs? The books? The MCC wins? The friendship formed before and after? The smp's to follow later? Origins? The comedy? Twitch con?

Because if you say That Dream did all of that for Tommy then I'm going to assume Dream Is Crawling into his skin and piloting his body

Saying dream owns Tommy's as well as other people's careers, is like saying that if I were to bake a cake it wouldn't be my cake it would be the person who made the ingredients. I still baked the cake, put the ingredients together, bought them, got the recipe and just because I didn't grow the wheat or milk the cow it doesn't make it not my cake.

The smp did objectively help his career there is no fault in that and even Tommy acknowledges it, but you can't attribute every single thing that he does now to Dream.

And you can also argue that dream was a bad person, because he was. Regardless of allegations and other people's experiences, dream intentionally seeked out a 14 year old streamer, made him sign a legal contract, took every single bit of credit, got into fights with him on a regular basis, a made him feel so bad you will slamming his head against the desk.

That's not normal. None of that's normal.

And then in an alternative perspective dream didn't do us much for the smp as he claims. The only things he did was bring the content creators together, start the server, and play as his own character.

I do not get me wrong there is credit in that and he did do those things that allow the server to operate, but those with the only things he did.

Wilbur (as much as we hate him) wrote the scripts, and alot of Tommy lore. Will stopped writing the Script after he died canonically, and then later came back because in his own words " lI had to write myself back into the narrative [...] I didn't like where it was going. Not to see dream is a bad writer, but we had different ideas". That's him putting it nicely, the worst bit for the smp realistically was when dream was writing the lore.

And I'm not saying that it was bad but what I am saying is that the majority of people found it bad, so bad in fact that they had to bring Will back.

Dream did not write his own story.

And to the other content creators, on the server they will their own lore. And they acted it out themselves, dream was no part of that yet they still had to sign contracts because it was still on the physical server.

Ranboo and Technoblade in particular had some of the best story writing and telling, and they did it all themselves.

But there's only one thing in common, that makes sense but I think we all missed, dream was in every single person story or had planned to be. And I get it it's his server but on the other hand they could have had amazing stories without his input. Ranboo could have replaced Dream with a mysterious unknown character in his lore, and the outcome and affect would have been the same story-wise. Dream didn't need to be Puffy's son, but he was. Technoblade and Philza could have skip to the side plot of saving dream and instead it needed to return a favour to someone else.

The storytelling within the server is a amazing but if you subtract dream and put someone in his place it's still would have been the same story. It's like he was made to be sandwich in everyone's story. And yes he was a great character in most stories, but in others he was unnecessary.

Put with the overall fact that he had to be in every single story obviously ties back to the server being his, but it's also a reflection of his own ego. He probably still to this day believe that every single person has a career because of him and do not because of who they are now. He definitely helped but it's not all him.

And I would say George, Sapnap and Dream, have the same issue with ego. You see the way dream behaves with over people, he dominated people's careers for many years and had it done by fear.

Sapnap, he would swear and curse every single person, to the point where Scott said he was the most difficult person to put on a team because no one wanted to play with him (I have a different post about MCC). There were many offensive and situations in which the pair of them actually ruin the game for a lot of people. If you were not a person who watched MCC back in the day then I can tell you from now they had to change so many rules, Scott had to start making applications because of the amount of times that they would bail or not communicate with him or simply people didn't want to play with him and wanted to avoid him, and due to their obsessive behaviour in needing to the practice the maps so much that when the game was chosen some people didn't even try because they knew who would win.

They're talented don't get me wrong but there is an extent in which that their Talent crosses with ego and makes the whole game unplayable. This is without mentioning the amount of people who were scared to play with this team or against this team. No one had a fun.

And even in the smp, some people purposely avoided Sapnap, because he didn't know how to manage himself.

And George you could argue also has a large ego because of the people he surrounds himself by and he's a success. He is an objectively/ conventionally attractive male, and there have been many instances including in recent times and in certain develop it situations that he used it to his advantage. He doesn't behave his age and he treats people cruelly.

And most importantly, the fans. Yes YOU. You heavily contributed to the success of the server and to the success of the creators. But the level of obsession people would have regarding these content creators is something that will always baffle me.

And alot of people asked them to speak out, especially Dream. And he didn't. Dream actually encouraged his audience by selling sketchy merchandise and a USB stick with his baby pictures on it. He enables his radical audience because they are what keeps him going. Realistically without the radical side of his audience he would not be as successful and financially well off as he is now.

Additionally those people attack literally anyone that set something bad about him, and at first he tried to downplay it, then he assured people he would manage it and tell them to start, but then along the way he must have realized that these people a Ride or Die for him and that if he drives away these people he drives away a lot of money, free advertisement and a defense system against his brand- and I say this because these people would defend him in any circumstance

So then he doesn't stop them, and now you've got a 19-20s yr old with an unfortunate amount of mental health issues, some people who continue to jab him with needles anytime he's upset.

And it's sad. Is far beyond something that his parents can protect him from, yet he hasn't found the resources to protect himself. He's not happy with himself. He used to be scared to stand with someone successful even though he's successful.

And I'm genuinely proud of how much Tommy has grown. He is and continues to be a dedicated, passionate and nice person regardless of circumstances, he continues to be real with his audience and tries not to waste thier time. And none of that was taught to him by Dream. He taught himself how to be himself. If I see one person saying that he's a clout chaser I'm gonna have to tell you that you're wrong because he's done so much for himself to the point where you can't even count it yet you can count the things dream did for him on a Post-it note.

Tommy did well

[milder-manners]

What if for c!snf seeing cc!dream is almost the same as seeing a ghost of the past bc cc!dream is so similar to early c!dream (bc in the start of dsmp no one was really leaning into the rp yet) and that weirds them out a bit

And also makes them so sad because c!dream could've been like this. He could've been friendly and kind and trusting and chill and loving. If only things were different

Okay So. This isn't the most fleshed out, but I think I'm going to add some plot and have c!Sapnap, c!Punz, and c!George kidnap cc!Dream.

Why? Well for a multitude of separate reasons that I'll get to sometime else but the general gist is that they're trying to get to c!Dream.

cc!Dream is such a trippy sight for them (c!Snf, I'll talk about c!Punz later.) He looks good, healthy, admittedly not particularly muscular but it makes him look endearingly soft. His voice is the exact same.

c!Dteam as a whole are so bad with this Dealing with Emotions Shit that this actually makes c!Snf extremely volatile and reactive to talking to cc!Dream when he's their hostage. They're verbally aggressive to him, bullying him for his complete inability to swing a sword, all in the efforts to divide cc!Dream from the memory of c!Dream as much as possible.

c!George is actually dealing with two triggers at once, cc!Dream reminds of c!Dream of the past and c!DreamXD who tried to impersonate him. cc!Dream is a Second doppelganger that's trying to keep him from his love. How Dare he.

c!George has been trying to avoid sleep as much as possible. Yes c!Sapnap he's Fine he'll get some rest after this whole thing is over.

AU Masterpost

This doesn’t have links to all my stories, that would take forever, but here’s a rundown of all my aus and what you can find with each!

(i ran out of room in the pinned post for tags to keep track of my aus)

wss dni

Any vore-centric aus will have “^^” while any aus that have vore but can be understood with the vore content blocked will be “^”. Reminder: if you have “#tw vore” blocked you can avoid those specific posts entirely!

If you wanna see my longer stories specifically, they’re under the tag “#cynwrites” my art is under “#cyn art” and my oneshots are under “#cyn oneshot”

i’ve tagged as many of these aus as i can in this post so you can get to them right from here, though i ran out of room for the bottom four so you’ll just have to type those out.

all of these aus are always open for asks and suggestions! even the ones that haven’t been updated in years. if any of these aus interest you, please send asks!!

also i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again: i write for characters. only characters. i don’t like/have never watched non-dsmp content of half of the people i write about, but their characters hold a special place in my heart so im stealing them for my own uses. their creators didn’t deserve them anyway (dteam and william gold this means you).

#Lab Twins AU^^

[sapnapstummy]

A little tier list + briefly talking about my fics :] (ao3 fics only)

B tier (had potential):

shimmer down i wrote this one pretty quick and I could've elaborated a bit more. (I think I just have an issue with my shorter fics lol), it was sweet though and a prompt ive had in my notes app for a while.

It's easy. It's love. And it's them. My first mcyt fic ^_^ a short little dnf fic in anticipation of george arriving in florida! I think it's cute, but right before I posted it, I added "it's easy. it's love, and it's them." several times in the fic and looking back I don't really like that especially with how short it is.

A tier (good but not my favorite):

mistletoe lightshow I wrote this one as a gift and going back and rereading it's very cutesy. The banter is good and I like the characterization. Not my fav just because I forget it exists lol

desk professor once again, i just think it's too short. I wish I had done more to establish sapnap's crush on karl. Butttt it was very hot and i looove a good professor x student fic

attention craving this was very politely ignored lol, my second lowest kudosed fic. this one's really hot though, i need to write more nsfw tickle fics

eager learning im not sure why this one got so few comments lol. But this fic was written For Me By Me. prof george x student sap with a 10 year age gap and single dad sapnap, yeahhhh.

our bodies meet also very sweet, i loved cracking into dream and sapnap's heads for this one, but i makes me want to write body swap or clone sex so bad.

steady path of termination a rivals duo fic!! this one was very fun to write, but idk anything about scp's so i was very loose with the prompt. my lowest kudosed fic but it's pretty fun minecraft shenanigans so I like it

the final set this one isn't finished yet, but when i tell you that the planning i've had to do for this fic was ridiculous I mean Ridiculous. I love it, but it's hard to write bc i need both my timeline + fic notes and all my brain power to write it lol

S tier (no notes):

puppy stranger really good. really hot. background dreamnap + gnc dream 10/10

gentle shower i think about this fic from time to time and just ough. subby sapnap taking care of george is just sooo good.

gatorade vodka bootworship freak george x virgin sapnap x dom karl. REALLY GOOD. also i couldn't include it in the knn week collection bc it was drunk sex and ppl on twitter have no fun.

close reflection ohhhh the not-so-freaky freak fic. i loooove this one. the dynamics in it feel so real and messy to me, also i think i did a good job with describing dream's mom as an extension of dream while still making her a person if that makes sense. 11/10

care undeserved this one is so special to me. dream and sapnap caring for george in their own ways that display intimacy and familiarity, just ough. also i love the way i wrote this one.

and at number 1:

livewire my magnum opus. the characterization, the plot, the length. ough its just perfect and so dear to me. I love this fic so much and if i could only have one fic to keep it'd be this one. 1000/10 i love talking about it.

[wildpeachfarm]

the basic plot?

george is a prince on his planet, in an arranged marriage. he doesnt want to marry the woman his parents have betrothed him to, so one of his most trusted knights, larray, smuggles him out and tells him to get on the ship with the yellow paint on the side. he says hell meet george at the next port and theyll run away together (as best friends)

well. in the space port theres two ships; one with a yellow painted symbol and one with a green painted symbol. georges parents guards are patrolling and he makes a quick choice- he gets on the wrong ship and stows away.

badboyhalo is dreams adopted father in this- bad is a demon and the spaceship cartographer. he is also a shadow demon, and he figures out george is on board first and decides to start matchmaking.

sam is the ship weapon master. hes never shot to kill an innocent, but hes also very proud of his work taking down the corrupt forces of the Q empire.

ant and velvet are the ship cooks and medics. both are cat people, and they were smuggled out of dog person territory by dream during the great dog/cat war.

sapnap is of the star race, but took living form when he became friends with dream as children. theyve never left each others side

dream is the disgraced prince of the dog people, whos birth parents were killed by a vindictive chancelor from the Q empire. hes spent tje last fifteen years trying his best to find his siblings in hopes theyre alive

oh my god HE GETS THE PAINT COLOR WRONG 😭😭😭

this is so fun omg I am excited

[sketchehm]

Okay now is Christmas and my day off, ohh and Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! First I want to say thank you for making this mafia au! You have no ideas when I open up tumblr for a long times and what I see first is your post about this au and I'm reading all of it, it makes my days, you make my life more bright than ever, really thank you so much!! I hope you have a nice day! 🙌

And last is I want to join to rambling about your au too haha, I'm sorry to bother you, but yeah I read all of your lore about this au and get more larger and interesting! What I have in mind is who is the don before dream, well what if it was schlatt? And he was dream dad..? Well dream and sapnap and probably george too(?) Grow up in orphan together and their life is rough and force to join lil mafia group that lead by schlatt, and years life in bad treatment, idk if schlatt know if dream is his son or vice versa, both of them just doesn't care lmao (family issues) and dream shoot him and becomes the new don

Holy fuck you add elrich in this au too thank you so muchh!!! Lmao I love that post about elrich prefer to see dream wear his mask rather than to see dream deprivation face. Please interact more

Okayy so about kidnapping thing, I think dream doesn't care if his mafia group is crushed by team mafia (well maybe expect he still want to take revenge to Q) as long as he has sapnap and george at his side he feels enough, the large problem is how this was heard by outsiders? Namely las nevadas? We know Q want sapnap to join him but he refused, then he heard sapnap join team mafia and Q already predicted it was dream strategy to send sapnap there as a mole, then he heard the big news about dream mafia get a big blow and dream and george goes missing. Q feels happy in his chest because he's thought sapnap chose team mafia and betrayed dream instead, maybe just maybe they still can connect with each other again. Between spanish fellows a few days later Q have a meeting with rich to talk about this and rich feels... Not that amused...

Ahhh yess there's many many many angst here, about sapnap anxiety, dteam separation anxiety, george anxiety, welp dream anxiety too that he feels need to shoulder up all his problems alone, make him sleep deprived that may or may not have consequences in the future, but yeahhh I love your au so much 👉👈

Merry Christmas!!! You're so sweet I will cry 🥺🥺🥺

Sorry it took so long to answer!! I hope you enjoy <3!

SO Dream's previous Don was his father yes! But it was up in the air if I wanted it to be a DreamXD kind of figure but Schlatt fits better I think pfft (so I'm taking that me thinks hehe)

I guess that's how Quackity got in with Dream so quickly, he was already working under the Don before Dream offed him haha

This helps cause it gives more of a solid motivation of why Q will eventually betray Dream, he probably already had a plot to take out Schlatt and takeover before Dream butted in, now his plans were pushed back....but not by much...

Aside from that! I have it in my head that Dream was born and raised in the mafia family which is.....rough! Growing up with people always wanting to one up and take you out, it's a world full of selfishness and backstabbers tbh...not a lot of /real/ trust happening in mafia families! And Dream, well he did want to change that, he thinks Schlatt was shit. It's a miracle he wasn't overthrown earlier, but no one had dared to go against him. Schaltt did NOT like having an heir tbh, it's such a weak point he didn't care for. Dream was too soft in Schlatt's eyes. Not enough brute force coming from Dream, but he could recognize that Dream was still good at running his own division and associates and it pissed him off....Dream was a /threat/ and he did his best (without killing him outright) trying to bring Dream down...(that's not causing ANY sort of mental issues for Dream....nope!) Schlatt wishes Dream wasn't around and vice-versa, only Dream makes that a reality :3c

For George and Sapnap, I think George was def born in a crime family but was sent to Dream's family as a child due to....debts being unpaid....George is there against his will pretty much and has a bit of resentment against Dream cause he's the "heir"....that is until he finds Dream one day thrown out of Schlatt's office with a black eye and cut lip....he has always assumed any injury was due to him being shit at training or whatever. This...changes things drastically. They become closer. (They both never wanted to be born in this life)

And Sapnap! He def was a street kid, but I think BBH found him! And bbh was under Schlatt so eventually Sapnap found his way working in a mafia family. It was...rough...going from no rules and just trying to survive to....a /lot/ of rules and trying to survive....Sapnap def joins before George does and makes friends with Dream! He's the only other kid around! (Sapnap helps Dream figure out how to make it hurt less when you're getting beat....Sapnap had plenty of experiences out in the streets...)

George and Sapnap were also subjected to Schlatt's torment, of course, nothing like Dream though. BUT! I do think at one point Schlatt finds out that George and Sapnap are.../closer/ to Dream. And that will be used a /lot/ against Dream. (This MAY cause over possessiveness of the two, the fear of them somehow being seriously hurt and he has no control....)

FOR THE KIDNAPPING. SO. I did have set in stone Dream is crazy worried about his remaining family cause in my mind, the ones who remained would be the munchymc crew! I had in my head that shortly after the betrayals, he did call for a meeting with his most trusted Capos and was...extremely vulnerable with them. And they reciprocated his feelings. They're close. But George and Sapnap /are/ above them(at least, relationship wise).

There are plans in place in case Dream /died/, George and Sapnap were never supposed to take over as Don in that scenario, he didn't want to wish that dangerous position on them. But I think bbh did agree to take over if anything happened. And while that did stress dream out (bbh was the closest he had to an actual father figure), he couldn't ask for a better person. There's a lot of details in this plan that I do have in mind but I need to flesh out more. HOWEVER. Dream /knows/ that plan didn't really account for Sapnap and George /also/ being gone. So things are....becoming difficult to handle to say the least....while Sapnap and George were not publicly known to be close to Dream, they did handle a lot of affairs than most knew. George was able to take over for most of Sapnap's roles, but it was already a struggle at that point....

So Dream IS worried. But the stress of it is too monumental and he /does/ break as soon as ElRich called for him and requests his assistance. It was his confirmation that Bad is alive and doing things as they had plan. He needs his remaining family safe and by that point, he knows they'll be safe under the Team.

(I have ideas of ElRich interacting with Dream more but thats for another time heh)

NOW. about Q.... Q did keep close ties with bbh actually! (Bbh let the ties remain for Dream, to keep a closer eye on him). So when Q realizes Bbh is ridiculously more busy and is seen in other parts of Dream's territory that he doesn't usually frequent, it makes him suspicious. Q has plenty of connections. I had in my mind the wider crime world doesn't really know Dream (and George) is now gone. Not for a while, at least. Mostly because Team Mafia were not very "loud" with this abduction.

It's Q's poking around and trying to find out that leads to rumors of Dream potentially being dead. And Q finds out it was the Team that made Dream....die? Disappear? Whatever, he's/gone/ now. And he's gleeful. Everyone knows about the trade between those two families. Everyone has seen Sapnap acting jovial with the Team Mafia guys beforehand. He puts two and two together of course! Sapnap must've finally grown a pair and betrayed Dream, thank /god/

Funny(or maybe stupidly) enough, Q thinks he still has a chance with Sapnap! Q does start hanging out where Sapnap was seen frequently with some of the Team members, he never seems to be around anymore. Odd! Oh well! He can always go straight to the source! And starts pulling strings to get in contact with ElRich himself, surely he can buy Sapnap out of whatever contract he's locked in with the Team and bring him back to Las Nevadas! (He doubts Sapnap is very valuable to them now. Sapnap has done his job for them most likely, they probably don't even care for him anymore)

The meeting for that was...not great! Here's ElRich, listening to a guy say one his favorite dogs is /worthless/ and should just be given up to this....this /drug rat/. ElRich is plenty aware of the many times Q's men had tried to scam or underhand his own associates with the latest products on the market. And it's upsetting he can't send Q off with a bullet in his head for not only disrespecting his family member, but also making jabs at their latest two prized victims (though of course Q wouldn't know the extent of care Team Mafia has towards dteam and that's his biggest mistake). Not only that! Q also demanding to take territory that once belonged to Dream, talking as if he already owns it. This guy is absolutely ridiculous

So Q leaves with a big fat "No" for all and any request to see Sapnap and to any other requests he made, along with a few more threats that DO make him nervous...surely that'll be fine.....

(This interaction with Q will not be known to Dteam themselves for awhile, but they do start prodding them about their relationship with Q more. Which opens....a whole can of worms! Mainly it's Sapnap being reminded that he may have acted just like Q and betrayed Dream unintentionally and does not help his guilt whatsoever! He'll be fineeee......)

I think that's it for now! (I hope you had a Merry Christmas!!!)

[box-architecture]

I AM IN LOVE!!! Your forensic au is AMAZING!! I am so in love!! Thank you thank you thank you for writing it, for blessing my eyes. I can't wait to see more of it! I am a huge Punzwastaken shipper so the early Sam parts are strange but not bad. In this newest installment is Sam still there? Or has something happened where Dream and him broke up? Also just Punz, I love your Punz so much, my heart is having trouble taking it but I want more! I will wait patiently for you to write more, it was so good.

aaaaa I appreciate you!!! It makes me really happy to know that you like my writing so much :oD I squish you thank you thank you

Contextually, the Sam stuff doesn't actually happen until later in the series. Aliens In A Spaceship takes place during the period of time where Sam hasn't arrived at the forensics lab yet.

Like, a brief timeline:

Dream goes to college, meets Sam and Tina

Sam and Tina move to different servers to pursue their preferred lines of work, while Dream stays at his home server for his forensic career

A murder occurs, with ties to the company Quackity works for and Quackity himself. Sapnap is angry that Dream is considering his fiancee a suspect, and George is upset that Dream has become so focused on his work, supposedly to the detriment of all three's friendship. after George and Sapnap each get into their own separate fights with Dream, Dream bunkers down in the lab

Quackity kidnaps Dream and does Some Regular Standard Torture

Dream is rescued and hospitalized. He wakes up alone, and understandably figures that Sapnap and George want nothing to do with him, and leaves the server as soon as physically possible

Eventually, Dream gets transferred to the forensics lab and assigned Punz as his agent to work with in investigations. Dream is somewhat cold to everyone he meets for Mild Trauma Reasons, but he slowly starts to warm up to Punz as they show that they're a dedicated and loyal person

Aliens In A Spaceship

more things happen

Eventually, Sam will come to the lab. Sam, like Tina, is one of the few people from the Before Shit Hit The Fan, and so one of the few people Dream is Instantly Warm With. Punz is both jealous and Suspicious, because everything he's learned about Dream's past relationships has said They Ended Badly And Hurt Him. He hasn't heard anything about this guy. Who Are You, Are You Here To Hurt Dream, The Most Precious And Beloved Person Who Deserves The Whole World. I'll Kill You If You Are.

more things happen. A lot of it is Sam crushing on Punz (he does not realize this) while also crushing on Dream (he does not realize this) while Punz warms up to Sam (they are disgruntled by this.)

at some point, Sam gets kidnapped. Dream realizes his feelings for Sam, tries to date other people to avoid said feelings at all costs, Sam and Dream end up together anyway through the power of ice cream.

Punz nearly gets murdered and possibly blown up and Thats Super Not Great. After hospitalization, he gets coaxed into Dream and Sam's apartment and they are both not only in love with each other but also Punz. Punz gets kissed and loved and fucked, as they deserve.

More things happen.

There will be no Sam in Aliens In A Spaceship. There will potentially be a Sam in the fic's Very Normal Sequel thats already plotted out, but that depends on several factors that have yet to be finalized.

[rat-rosemary]

It's easy to slip the sleeping potion into Quackity's and Karl's drinks.

It's been getting colder and colder, so when Sapnap offers they drink a cup of hot wine before bed none of them find it odd. Sapnap slips just a few drops of potion into their drinks while serving, just enough for them to fall asleep quickly and not wake up until hours later.

When Quackity goes limp againt George and Karl's falls foward into Dream's waiting arms, then they tuck them both in the middle of the bed (safe and warm and protected and with no escape) and Sapnap goes directly to Karl's bag, looking through it for the diary.

The diary. That damn fucking book.

Quackity and Karl have started carrying it around, passing it to each other every time they walk by or meet during the day. And they won't let them read it.

Not even with Sapnap's endlessly begging and charm did they break, they said that it was nothing bad and for Sapnap not to worry about it

And now they finally have it. Dream almost wants to trow it in the fire immediately, but they're not far along enough in the plan for him to do something like that (soon. Soon there will be no secrets)

The first thing they notice when opening it its how... messy the entire thing is. Pages covered in crampes notes and doodles, clearly Karl and Quackity talking through the book, pieces of writing and drawings glued into it, some times with dates next to them, sometimes with book titles and page numbers.

It takes them a few good minutes of reading until it becomes obvious what it's about.

George's hand twitches from where it's holding Quackity's neck, feeling his pulse, and Sapnap scratches Karl, his nails going sharp against the arm he was petting just now

Karl and Quackity are plotting.

Not against the three of them, but for them. On one page, notes of nobles who are trying to use Dream as a bluff, another of the ones who seem to be trying to trick him into arranged marriages.

Pages and pages of possible trade agreements other kingdom might offer, and the historical significance of them.

A chapter of plans regarding a group of sorcerers who have made it their mission to kill them three, and the way Quackity and Karl infiltrated their ranks. Their planned assassination, marked for next week.

Quackity and Karl had clearly realized something not many others had. Dream, Sapnap and George are powerful, of course, but they're also isolated. They don't know as much about other kingdoms as they need to be able to rule and bargain properly.

And clearly, they decided that they should do something about it, and try to cover for them three from this blind spot they didn't even fully realize they had

... The plan might be working much better then they thought.

Hiiiii <3 I know this all feels disconnected but in my head it all makes sense

If you wanna learn more send me an ask (please please please (/lh)

[bleue-flora]

as someone who is trying to re watch the series but still doesn't remenber some stuff i cool seeing your essays :D they're fun to watch. Also i didn't remenbered how silly dsmp was until re-watching. Like the start is just people (and csapnap and ctommy) killing and annoying each other and cdream being like tired of all of this but still happy with his friends. Like the start of the discs war doesn't have this dramatic tone of life or death that future arcs have. Everything in this pre-cwilbur era is going fine in general

-date: July 15, 2024- (at least this one was lost at the bottom of my 40+ drafts so I feel a tiny bit less bad lol <3 sorry)

Truly very silly, which I think is partly what makes it so good. In my opinion really good media mixes dark themes with humor, because that makes it entertaining and a little less depressing to watch. It’s what makes Technoblade so enjoyable to watch because he blends those serious tones with humor, not in a way that undercuts their gravity or invalidates them but just tries to lighten the mood.

I think I will disagree with you a little in regards to how things were all fun and games in the beginning and not as serious in the disc saga, because to me Dream sounds similarly as pissed off in that war as he does in the speech about Spirit.

Is it as serious as Doomsday or Prison and stuff later? No but I think we do the story a dishonor when we don’t take the beginning of the server as seriously, something I often see. Because even if perhaps it wasn’t as serious for most characters, clearly it did matter to Dream as he brings it up specifically in the finale despite it having been years since then… like yes obviously the prison arc is a much more serious, darker turn in the story but make no mistake just because it was all fun and games for Tommy and Sapnap, doesn’t mean it felt that way for the rest of the members. I mean how many times did Ponk’s tree get burned, and Alyssa straight up leaves before things really amp up plot wise. And like yes, the theatre of it all heightens when Wilbur enters the scene, and yes when plots get more developed so does the drama of it all, but I think sometimes we confuse story structure with seriousness. And true, canon lives I think play a big role with how serious things become, but still I think the fact that Dream [post] holds onto grudges from the start speaks to how serious it was to him. And even Tommy, brings up his first day in the finale too [post] clearly it did matter and it did hurt them to the point it was something they still hated eachother for years later.

The Holiday Party

Written for the dreamnblade christmas event @alterdnbweek is holding this year.

Day 25 Prompts: Mistletoe; First Kiss

Last day! I hope everyone enjoyed this event as much as I did. I'm also really pleased with myself, because this is the first time I've ever been able to complete something like this!

**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**

The party is in full swing, everyone laughing, talking, playing games, and enjoying the various drinks and snacks laid out over nearly every available surface in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Music is playing across the whole area barely able to be heard over the general din from all the people in the area. Everyone Dream knows is here plus several that he recognizes, but doesn't know as well. Decorations are everywhere, shimmering faintly with the enchantments worked into them like hugs, fist bumps, piggy back rides, and games of rock, paper, scissors.

He takes another sip from his mulled wine, watching a game of monopoly getting very intense as Purpled buys the last plot that Tommy needed for one of the sections and Wilbur has to grab his shirt collar to stop him from launching over the table. It's also broken three alliances and all of them are arguing with each other to build new ones as George lifts the 'bank' off the table to avoid the flailing limbs of the players as they fight.

Sapnap lifts Quackity into a hug as the duck shrieks to be let down. Karl is laughing nearby as the they wander into the kitchen past the poinsettias on the hallway shelves. Schlatt is already passed out on one of the armchairs and Puffy and Nikki are drawing on his face with what Dream hopes is washable marker. Bad is holding his and Skeppy's plate of food near the tree as they chat with Ant and Alyssa. Phil is perched on the back of the couch, chin perched on his wife's head as she shows him something on her phone. Punz and Sam are glaring at each other over a deck of cards and random items they've pulled from their pockets. Many of them posting small homemade decorations all around the walls they can reach or grabbing taller individuals like Techno to get them higher.

He downs the last of his wine, head a touch dizzy from the four glasses he's had pressed into his hands as well as the adult eggnog that was shoved on him nearly as soon as he entered the house.

It's been about three hours since he got here and he is feeling the strain of being around so many people that he's had to interact with plus the alcohol. Dream doesn't hate any of them, loves that they can have this kind of get together, but it's getting a bit much. He glances around and no one is looking his way. Not his friends who have passed over the wine when he finished his previous drinks or the others who are distracted by the rest of the goings on. He slips off his stool, weaving at the edges of the various enchanted decorations, and out the door onto the covered patio faintly illuminated by the string lights. It's a shock compared to the warmth from inside and he tugs his hoodie closer to his body and hoping he can last long enough without his heavier coat.

Dream breaths out, watching the cloud of air wisp into the night sky. It's already quieter out here than inside and he leans against the balcony railing with a faint sigh. Maybe he should stick to non-alcoholic drinks for the rest of the night.

"Needed a break?" Techno's voice comes way to close to him and he almost jumps out of his skin.

He looks up and Techno is just staring up at the sky, "Yeah. Just kind of a lot after a couple hours. You?"

"Same. Chat doesn't help with it either. They're really excited by everyone who's here," Techno says, turning to look down at him. The chill air has made his cheeks turn faintly red to complement the pink hair pulled into a ponytail. "Kind of loud, though, so they're in time out."

He grins, "Sorry for interrupting then. I can head back in-?"

Techno's already shaking his head, "It's good. They like Phil more than you anyway."

"What. How could they," he gasps, clutching at his chest in mock hurt. "I will refuse to ring their bell until they take that back."

Techno throws his head back, laughter spilling from him and Dream is stuck staring at his gorgeousness until he remembers that he shouldn't be and firmly forces his eyes back over the snow filled backyard.

"Man, they are begging you to take that back," he chuckles, shaking his head and he tracks the motion of the hair as it moves. "And offering a lot of things I know they won't follow through with."

He blinks, "...Like what?"

"Somehow dropping Tommy into the frozen lake."

Dream squints, looks out across the backyard, "What lake?"

"No clue. They haven't decided. Or figured out how they're going to get me to do it."

It takes a moment for him to remember that Chat isn't corporeal, but he laughs once he does. He stops as a strong gust blows through and he pulls his hoodie closer. Damn. He doesn't want to go back in yet, but with the wind, he might have to.

Something heavy lands on his shoulders. He glances down to see brilliant red fabric draped over his arms and pooling on the ground at his feet. Dream looks up, spotting Techno staring at him without his cloak and he ducks his head into the warm ruff around the edge. "Thanks."

"No problem."

He stands there, silence coiling around them before a thought jumps into his head.

"Are you enjoying the party so far?" he asks, peaking over the ruff.

Techno hums, "It's alright. Definitely not the worst I've been to, but doesn't reach the best by a long shot."

"Oh? What was the best? Did it have a tournament of games or something?"

"It was Kristen and Phil's elopement," he says and Dream chokes.

"I thought they had a wedding? I distinctly remember seeing pictures of a wedding," he says digging though his memory because he does recall seeing Nikki and Wilbur talking about wedding pictures and Phil and Kristen were in them.

"Yeah, they did, but they eloped first. Everyone was pissed off and trying to find them so I got to play roadblock. It's fun being able to look someone right in the eye and tell them straight up lies that they aren't sure are true or not."

"I want to hear that story now. It sounds so much more intresting than their wedding."

"Sure. Come over some time and I'll trap Phil to make him tell you the whole thing."

Dream huffs, hiding his grin in the cloak, "Does next week sometime work?"

"Hm. We'll see. Do you not have anything else planned?"

"Not really. Just making sure everything is set up for the start of the year and that there aren't going to be any issues. I really do not want to start the year having to mediate an argument over who owns a chicken or a divorce."

"That would be annoying. Just take the chicken and disappear into the tundra."

"Pft. Not all of us are you, Techno."

Techno chuckles and Dream feels so much warmer. Not just from the borrowed cloak, but talking with Techno and getting him to laugh. It's the best thing he can imagine doing at any point no matter what the situation might be. It's Techno who is kind, skilled in everything he does, amazing in general, and Dream wants to be with him forever in any way he can.

There's another gust of wind that manages to cut through the cloak and sends them both shivering. Only this time, it doesn't ease off, roaring through the area and sending the shutters around rattling against the house.

"We should head back inside," Techno says, squinting against the freezing wind. "This feels like a front starting to come in."

He nods, watching his breath cloud be ripped away as quickly as it leaves. They turn back to the door, Techno half reaching out for the handle when he pauses with a small 'heh?' staring at something above them.

Dream frowns, following his gaze and there's a sprig of mistletoe over them.

His face burns, mind flashing on what it would be like to actually kiss Techno before the full situation hits his brain. This wouldn't be something Techno would want to do. It'd be something he's forced to otherwise they won't be able to leave each other's side and be stuck with the plant hanging out above them. It's basically forcing the man into something he doesn't want to do and who's idea was it to hang up mistletoe?!

"Um. What, what kind of, um, kiss works for you?" he starts doing his best to not look at Techno. "I don't really care. I'm good with, with anything but you shouldn't feel uncomfortable or pressured for anything. I think even like a hand kiss works. I'm pretty sure Eret mentioned that when I asked-"

Warm lips press against his cheek and he freezes, staring at Techno as he pulls back, a small, soft smile resting on his lips and gorgeous red eyes that are glowing with affection under the fairy lights around them.

"No need to panic, yeah? 's all good," Techno says.

He stares, "You- You what?"

"I took care of the mistletoe," he says. His expression furrows into concern, "Did that make you uncomfortable?"

"No!" he says way to loud it feels like and he swallows before continuing, "I just, why my cheek?"

Techno shrugs, "Cause I felt like it. We can just forget it happened. Not like anyone else saw it so it to bring up later."

And he knows Techno is telling the truth. Chat would have let him know otherwise and there's no indication of that happening as he stares up with a burning face.

"It's, it's fine," he manages to get out then his mouth doesn't stop: "I liked it. It's good. Real good."

Techno blinks, the concern clearing and shifting back to the soft affection Dream could have sworn was just his imagination, "So, would you be more interested in coming over to watch movies for the rest of the night?"

Dream smiles back, "Sure."

Techno grabs his hand - still ridiculously warm even with the freezing and falling temperatures - and they head out. He can't bring himself to care about if the others are going to notice them missing or what they might think or do at that point. Right now, Techno's hand is entwined with Dream's own, they're going to watch movies together, and maybe, just maybe, he'll have a date for the new years.

-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----

("Wait, four years?!"

"Yeah. It's been Chat's favorite thing to poke me with."

"...Not Phil or Wilbur or Tommy?"

"Nah. Phil wouldn't dare and Wilbur and Tommy don't pay enough attention to notice."

"Sure, your friends leave you alone and mine make fun of me every time they know we're even going to be in the same general area."

"...Is that why you've been acting weird and avoiding me? I thought I did something."

"...I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

"Aw. You're soft for me.")

**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~**

I hope all of you enjoyed! Have a lovely day, stay safe out there, and have as much fun as you legally can!

HERO AU — cracked treated seriously

✧.* — Tommy does not want to be a hero, he never has, actually. What he wants to be able to go to school and do normal things, but he can’t due to his own powers — sight.

✧.* — Tommy can get a sense of the future, an idea of what a possible outcome could be if the hero’s acted a certain way, or he could get a vague idea of villain plans, making him very valuable to the hero’s.

✧.* — Tommy has been in the hero society sense he was ten, and now fifteen, he truly just.. doesn’t care anymore, using his power is draining, and he’s just kind of.. bored.

✧.* — It’s no wonder he starts selling hero information to the syndicate. No surprise he starts to bond with them.

✧.* — Maybe it was out of spite, or to rebel, he doesn’t truly know himself — but Angel always seemed nicer than Dream anyway.

✧.* — He kind of ping-pongs between sharing hero info for the villains, and sharing villain info to the hero’s— he feels bad, just a little bit at sharing the hero’s plans, but he can’t help but be giddy that he gets to have secrets of his own.

✧.* — [something big happens] — Tommy feels guilty for betraying the hero’s, even if he was also selling out villain info to them — one of the hero’s major plans backfire, and everyone is panicking that there’s a traitor in the tower.

✧.* — Tommy pulls Dream aside and says he’s the traitor — Dream says something like this — “No you’re not, Tommy, you’re too valuable to be a traitor.” Maybe it’s a warning to shut his mouth, maybe it’s because Dream doesn’t think that Tommy is serious enough to betray them like that.

✧.* — Tommy just kinda goes.. oh, so the top hero is just dumb, and kinda just shrugs and gives all their info to the syndicate 4 giggles to try and get Dream to take him seriously.

SIDE NOTES :

— Tommy is not taking his hero job seriously after a while 😭😭 starts sprouting oracle statements towards the hero’s and they’re all like “WDYM” and he just giggles telling them to find out

— Tommy also just likes gossip in general, so during one of his ‘meetings’ with the syndicate he’s explaining the deep, weird love triangle between Watcher, Pyro, and Tyche [ Karl, Sapnap, and Quackity ] — and Blade just kinda goes “no— kid, we want hero plans,” like all amused and fond. Idk side plot of syndicate slowing adopting Tommy?

— I think Tommy’s name would be Hermes in this, or Apollo — and he would maybe be an avian + sneaking out through the hero tower windows to go meet with some of the villains to share info, but than would turn back and go to the hero’s to trade info again. He’s kinda gambling here lowkey whichever side figures out I’m betraying them first wins!!! 🥳🥳🥳

— however the syndicate .. kinda know? But I think they wouldn’t care as much as they should, the kids clearly young, they just didn’t except him to be 15 years old young

[localsharkcryptid]

I'd love to hear about it :D

Okay so! Admittedly this entire 'Good Ending' AU is a lot of concepts and ideas so imma just put down a bunch of the main and favorite notes I have so far with it!

If I ever do anything with this it'll probably be a fair amount of one-shots or short stories, and I do wanna hammer home that EVERYONE in this AU gets a good ending - no exclusions, full DSMP cast, if I don't write things on certain characters it's generally due to me just not knowing their lore well enough to give specifics on what they'd be doing or just not having set ideas atm.

Mostly for Context Notes:

- I won't say the canon ending is retconned but more so it doesn't happen the same way due to some changes! The Eggpire ending is important though and still plays out mostly the same. Which leads into The Egg becoming this bigger force that everyone has to work together against - thus leading to a final server wide 'truce' in a way that allows for things to finally settle. (Generally going with a concept that the Egg originally surfaced due to all the previous wars, the death drawing it out so it could be found, therefore people figure this out and it becomes a sort of for the greater good situation)

- Additionally the server doesn't reset again due to XD making a very specific deal with George, in an attempt to finally be free of the Admin's influence/all the dream coma bullshittery, George effectively tricks XD into becoming mortal and giving up his status as Admin - officially freeing the server from the loop.

- After the truce, the idea of countries kinda dissolves, while the locations all remain they become more so cities/towns all apart of the same thing again! Also with the server being "freed" the SMP starts gaining citizens after a bit! So actual populations for everywhere!!! Also totally not an excuse for me to make OCs, definitely not (I say like a liar)

- This is a good ending but also I will note it takes a while for a lot of people to become comfortable again with each other, and honestly I don't think there's a lot of forgiveness either, it's more so people choosing to move on from the past. So a lot of my ideas for shenanigans/light hearted stuff are written with the idea of it being like 2-3 years post 'ending'

Other Notes! Just some more miscellaneous thoughts honestly.

- Dream ends up as part of a syndicate as one would assume, Punz is considered an honorary member and of all people, Purpled also joins the ranks, he gets picked up by someone some time after the Las Nevadas finale and that leads to him joining them, whereas the other two show up later on.

- Pandora's Vault ends up being entirely renovated, it being pretty damn difficult now to tell what it was and turned into a proper home, it's a long process mostly headed by Sam in his long list of things he's done to "apologize" after having his world view shattered (he learns that the staged finale was, well, staged and has a mental crisis for like 3 weeks over that and realizing he is, in fact, the bad guy) also his plot goes slightly differently, being based on a roleplay I have going rn! Generally Sam returns to the Vault initially to hide out from people/so they'll 'get over' him being a shit person and it leads into him eventually siding with and eventually ending up with Dream (Awesamdrunz is a dynamic that is borderline crack to me and yes it's going in here) - this is the main factor that changes stuff with the nuke part of the og ending, as Tommy and Tubbo get effectively curb stomped by Sam when they attempt to kill Dream the first time around and don't really try it again.

- While it takes a bit, DTeam do reunite, it's shaky at first (especially with Dream's chosen partners, Punz is pretty neutral as always - he's good at keeping his opinions to himself even if he tends to clash with Sap a lot. As for Sam, well, it's more so that Sapnap and George rightfully hate his fucking guts for awhile) but they have bi-weekly if not more meet-ups to hang out and do things like they used to. They end up eventually building another community house somewhere between Kinoko and the main SMP, this one being more so just a designated hang out.

- Bad ends up taking over looking after a lot of the main server, especially with new arrivals. He's kinda a one-man welcome committee and does a pretty good job. He also tries to host little get togethers now and again (mostly for DTeam/The Manhunt Crew and whoever they wanna bring along) also you cannot tell me that he wouldn't have like weekend bake sales as the SMP gains a proper population. Someone needs to enjoy the muffins.

- Wilbur & Tommy end up making their own book club to rival the syndicate cause both of them aren't allowed in Techno's fancy book club (they think it's an actual book club, so yeah). Sam gets roped into it one day when he shows up to pick up Dream & Punz, Tubbo inevitably gets roped in as well. It's a time and they insist on using Phil's living room for meetings. Phil hates this - also Sam's 8ft ass can barely fit in the room, it's very cramped for him.

---

I've got more but those will be going to the other ask I've got :)

[milder-manners]

I LOVE YOUR ARCANE AU PLEASE TELL ME MORE I NEED IT IN MY MOUTH (also can I draw Fanart I love it so much AGGGHHAHGGGGH POS)

AHHHHH!!!! Thank you!! Glad this is intriguing to you too!!

So if it wasn't very clear, cc!Dream is Vi and c!Dream is Jinx in this au. I think to prevent confusion cc!Dream will go by Clay in this story (or something else, if there's a better option). Sapnap is Ekko, and George is Caitlyn. Im very heavily leaning towards making Bad Silco, which uh,,, kind of leaves Skeppy to be Vander?? So still work shopping there.

Dream's new name will of course be "Nightmare" after Act I.

Im honestly still working out all the details for this au, because I want to follow the general plot of Arcane while also staying true to cc and c characteristics. For example, cc!Dream isn't really a fighter so I'm thinking about making him a successful inventor instead, who uses handcrafted weapons to fight like Powder did. c!Dream in turn, could also still be a tinkerer but his inventions don't work like his big brother's.

I'll share more when I figure things out! Also definitely making more redraws.

ALSO YES ON THE FANART THING THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE COOL!!

[bubble-popping]

day 12 i forgot to post lmao, more dteam roleswap :3

"You're sure he'll be there?" Dream questioned as he walked in step with his shorter friend. "Of course! George gave me the exact coordinates. He wouldn't lie to me." I hope, was left unsaid. A full week had passed since he and Sam were exiled from their own home, which also meant he hadn't seen or spoken to George in days. Truthfully, he had no idea if that was enough time for Bad to brainwash him into being loyal for the Badlands--and that terrified him.

"Are we close?" Dream's next question made Sapnap scramble to check their location and cross-reference it with what George had messaged him.

"We're here, actually, and it's almost midday. He should be here by now-" The pair abruptly jumped as a brunette stumbled out of some dense shrubbery. Leaves stuck out of his hair, berry juice staining his nice suit, and familiar goggles fell from his face.

"George!" They both exclaimed and hurried to get their friend to his feet. Before he could even get a word out, they squeezed him in a big group hug. Dream encompassed his best friends easily, standing nearly a foot taller than them both.

"You guys! I can't breathe!" George complained, despite how he laughed and clutched his friends just as tightly as they held him.

"Hug you harder, you said? If you insist!" Dream responded and promptly lifted the two in his arms, swinging them around and practically squeezing the life out of them. They all burst into giggles, carefree and just happy to be back together again. For that one moment, the thoughts of political strife and inner turmoil were gone. This wasn't a secret meeting between a secretary of state for the country that two rebels wanted to overthrow.

It was just them. Just three friends, like it had been when they were kids. When things were so, so much simpler.

Eventually, Dream set them back on their feet, grinning as they wobbled on dizzy knees. "You guys alright?" He chuckled as they tried to stabilize themselves using each other.

"I think George is having an asthma attack," Sapnap said between breathless laughter.

"Cuz I just almost got crushed to death! Gimme a minute!" George shot back, grinning around heaving gulps of air.

"You're so dramatic, Gogy." The blaze-born playfully punched his arm.

"And you're so annoying, Sappitus Nappitus." He mocked as he nudged his friend a little harder than he probably should've, resulting in a very typical-of-them shoving match.

"Hey, hey, you two! This is a serious, secret meeting, remember?" Dream stepped between them with hands to their chests to keep them apart. The mediator as always.

"Oh, right! Dream, I have something for you." George jolted before searching his pockets.

"Huh? What about me?" Sapnap whined.

"What about you?" The brunette raised a brow, producing an intricately decorated envelope and having it to Dream. "You weren't invited."

"Invited to what?"

"The festival in a few days. Bad's throwing a big party to celebrate winning the election. He's inviting everyone. Well," George cringed as he rubbed the back of his neck, "everyone except you and Sam."

"That's totally unfair!"

"You guys were exiled, dumbass."

"But I'm the life of the party! It'll be boring without me!"

"I'm sure we'll manage." George rolled his eyes.

"But, why me?" Dream piped up after tearing the envelope open and reading it over.

"Like I said, everyone is invited. I don't think it's for any specific reason."

"Are you gonna go?" Sapnap asked, barely concealing the worry in his tone. He just got his friend back. The last thing he wanted was to lose him in one of Bad's villainous plots.

"Not sure. Let's talk to Sam, see what he says."

Sapnap nodded, and a tense silence fell over the trio.

"I guess this is goodbye, then?"

"Only for a little longer. Once we take Dreamland back, we can be together again. All of us." The netherian affirmed, eyes blazing with determination. His friends returned the passionate look.

Only for Dream to ruin it with a laugh. "Still can't believe you guys named it Dreamland. I wasn't even there."

"With a name like that, we thought nobody would ever mess with us," Sapnap explained. "Especially not Techno."

Dream merely rolled his eyes with a fond grin.

More context on the vampire fic:

Dream and George ran a coven of vampires that managed a small town of humans (in this AU vampires are like the guardians of human settlements or smth) and the story was actually focused on their weird vampire son Ranboo and also on Sapnap who was trying to get back to Bad (Sapnap was like a weird half-human-half-vampire hybrid and it was a major plot point).

Honestly it could be reworked into a dnf badass vampire au I just have no idea how to do that lol

oh that sounds interesting for sure :0
