#and Techno is Phil's secret service agent

[elevens-shitty-library-ao3]

The only place the quote "be the change you wish to see in the world" applies to me is when I'm looking for a certain type of fanfic under a super specific tag and there's nothing to read under that tag.

[bluesparrow11]

Dsmp but it’s just a Waffle House that they all work at.

Techno is a scary looking fry cook that everyone thinks definitely killed someone at some point

No one knows his real name except the guy who hired him (DreamXD) and he isn’t telling. So they all have to call him Technoblade. Phil knows why he went to prison (because he did too, he's just quieter about it) but he's not telling.

Dream is the guy who keeps fighting him and he gets away with it because DreamXD is a family member.

There’s a video of Techno and Dream fighting that’s very similar to the “Can I get a waffle? Can I please get a waffle?!” Vine

Wilbur and Phil are on shift with Tommy, a child, and automatically adopt the angry fucker. Techno tolerates him. They’re called the SBI because they work night shift.

Tommy does his homework while on shift and gets into fights with customers. Wilbur cheers on half of the fights... or finishes them depending on who Tommy is fighting. Tubbo and Ranboo occasionally show up to eat more waffles and hash browns than should be physically impossible and distract Tommy from working.

Wilbur talks so much about his life that it doesn’t register to anyone that they actually know nothing about him. They know he has an ex wife named Sally and a son that’s a furry and a whole bunch of other random details.

But not if he went to school or where he’s from, why he’s working there, or really anything of importance.

They don’t even know that his name isn’t actually Wilbur.

Phil, one day: “Hey why does this say 'to William Gold?'”

Wilbur, deciding to turn this moment into a Moment: “Well you see Phil, I’m a secret agent and this is my undercover job.”

If people ask personal questions he just makes shit up. Tommy believes half of it and Techno and Phil believe none of it.

Because Techno and Phil have been there longer than Wilbur and have outlasted many of the other employees, they’ve caught him in contradictory stories before. But have never said anything because the reactions of their coworkers and drunk patrons are priceless.

The Dream Team and other members work day shift. There’s totally a rivalry between them and the SBI. Day shift complains about the mess after a long night and night shift tells them to shut the fuck up and that if they want to break up drunken fights in the lobby they’re more than welcome to.

Sapnap is a fry cook and has lit himself on fire way too many times. Dream is the manager and George is a waiter with horrible customer service.

Breaking the Peace (a Dream SMP au)

possibly a fanfic prompt; basically a self-indulgent alternate storyline—may make more posts if you guys are into it

The third attempt to resurrect Wilbur Soot goes wrong, as it also implicated Jschlatt, and that the two ended up coming back to life in an alternate universe/timeline. Until they find a way back to their universe/timeline of origin, the newly revived are forced to come to terms with their individual issues due to the nature of the place they’ve been displaced in. Wilbur and Schlatt learn to be good to each other too.

Several factors caused this displacement to happen, but it is assumed that it is one or a weird combination of:

The Crimson growing in the server, as the universe they ended up in also has a Crimson infestation

The mysterious implications of Foolish’s totem powers

Karl Jacobs deciding to time travel around the exact same time as the resurrection attempt

The Wilbur that came back is an unholy cacophany of traits found between Alivebur and Ghostbur—he is indecisive and frustrated, now tasked to deal with his relationships with people, and how he feels unable to drop his pride for accountability.

Jschlatt comes back with a body that doesn’t take substances as well as it used to—he returns with a bit more clarity and vulnerability, a stronger need for self-love and people, but also a hungrier ambition to simply have.

The timeline in question is distinctly different from canon but also similar because of several more factors occurring in this timeline. I haven’t gotten to the proper nitty gritty build up to it, just know that:

The Exile is prevented

The Butcher Army is never established

The Green Festival + Doomsday never happen

A series of different big events and significant choices led to the preservation of L’Manburg and the ending of the Disc Saga once and for all on the 6th of January. This timeline takes place sometime in late January to early February.

Ghostbur/Alivebur/Wilbur of this timeline finds peace by the end of the final Disc War, and thus was never seen again since then

Glatt never appears in this timeline

While there is no intent for resurrection in this timeline, Dream is still jailed for the same reasons as the canon

Anyway, here’s this timeline’s official territorial lands and factions:

The Greater Dream SMP

- basically the whole server, whose dominion has been placed in the hands of King Eret since the imprisonment of Dream after the Final Disc War

- ruled by a King, the powers of which are now deliberated by the forces that run the server aka fate decides the next King

- Eret’s rule, as of this point in the timeline, is defined by the establishment of a Roundtable, seated by his most trusted allies and knights:

Captain Puffy (knight)

Hbomb94 (knight)

Punz (knight, secretly allied with the Badlands in service of the Crimson)

Sapnap (ally, w/ citizenship in El Rapids)

GeorgeNotFound (ally, w/ citizenship in El Rapids)

Awesamdude (secret ally, willing spy for the King due to his aversion towards the Crimson)

Factionless members are subject to his power and authority, as they do not live within any other recognized territories:

Callahan

Alyssa

Ponk

Purpled

Technoblade (his anarchist sentiment will resist this power anyway; Eret has no reason to threaten Techno however)

Vikkstar (Boomerville exists like a faction)

LazarBeam (However it is not recognized)

Foolish Gamers

Hannahxxrose

- Pandora’s Vault has been under the powers of Eret and Awesamdude after the Final Disc War; it’s also built in Dream SMP territory rather than in the Badlands

- people who wish to establish stores or businesses on land within the King’s territory must consult the King directly; they have the power to grant this permission for any reason they deem necessary

- the same goes for claiming property and establishing states altogether (as for this, they also need the recognition of all the other factions)

- The King has the power to make anyone build for them—the only exceptions to this rule are those who are legal and recognized citizens of any recognized states/factions in the server

The Federal Commune of L’Manburg

- L’Manburg, just not destroyed. After a significant skirmish (from several, this particular one during the 16th of December) between L’Manburg and Dream, Tubbo resigned his position and dismantled the current cabinet. After further deliberation, conversation, and an impromtu election, Ranboo was elected President. He then used his newfound powers to get the aid and favor of the rest of the server to rally against Dream’s manipulation, of which was easy to do given his preestablished friendships and allies. He, and the other faction leaders at the time collaborated on a strategic plot to aid Tommy and Tubbo for a sure victory in the Final Disc War. Dream was imprisoned and had lost to the collective will of all of those he had desired to control. After this, Ranboo immediately restructured the government of L’manburg, currently resembling an amalgamation of the structures seen in Snowchester and The Syndicate.

- Ranboo is still referred to as President of L’Manburg, but the powers that come with this title are significantly different, merely the name of the chosen representative for the territory. Everyone is free to do as they wish, actions being the responsibility of individuals alone. No one is obligated to the territory’s people except when the physical territory is agreed upon to be protected when threatened. There are no laws, but basic courtesy is still being maintained, the standards of which are established by everyone who is a citizen.

- Some of L’Manburg’s citizens have started stores and establishments, both within territory and in other spots in the Greater SMP

Citizens:

Ranboo (President)

Tommyinnit

Tubbo

Fundy

Niki

Philza

Karl Jacobs (w/ dual citizenship in El Rapids)

Technoblade (offered citizenship by Ranboo and Phil; he is debating this)

El Rapids

- first conceptualized by Quackity and GeorgeNotFound, was founded and recognized directly after the Final Disc War along with the witness of Sapnap and Karl Jacobs; a collective group of friends who happened to make a territory; it’s a proper city in the sky that can only be accessed by its rapids or by Nether portal

- George plays as an ambassador to Eret and representative figurehead but Quackity does all other executive, legislative, and judiciary powers

- it’s very private and intimate, though its members have a habit of initiating server events in collaboration with the SMP’s leaders

Citizens:

Quackity

GeorgeNotFound

Sapnap

Karl Jacobs (w/ dual citizenship in L’Manburg)

The Badlands

- an faction whose goals to conquer the server have been amplified by the Crimson Egg growing in their territory; every member has a say, but BadBoyHalo is the de-facto leader and final word of the group

- The treaty they established with Eret has been broken ever since relations with the King have soured—the Greater SMP and its allies refuse to respect the Badlands unless it gets rid of the Egg. There are rumors of a war if one party decides to cross a line.

Members:

BadBoyHalo (de-facto leader)

Skeppy

Antfrost (w/ dual citizenship in Manifoldland)

Awesamdude (secretly a traitor due to his aversion towards the Crimson)

Punz (honorary member, though this position is known only to himself and BadBoyHalo for the purpose of serving the Crimson)

Little Penis Land

- a territory informally recognized by the entire server and claimed by ConnorEatsPants; it’s the plot of land under the infamous sign, which as of this timeline, has small but really good housing

- it’s been a viable events place, as well as L’Manburg’s major competitor in the server’s drug market

- It is currently embroiled with land disputes involving L’Manburgian Tommyinnit and the infamous, factionless real estate agent Purpled

Inhabitants:

ConnorEatsPants

Slimecicle

Manifoldland

- country founded by Jack Manifold and only gained recognition after the Final Disc War, and after Antfrost cemented his dual citizenship

- doesn’t have a proper government yet as it is two people, but Jack intends to get more people into his country

- Jack goes around with the title of “President of Manifoldland” but insists the power his title describes is far more than it lets on

Citizens:

Jack Manifold (President)

Antfrost

Foolish Gamers (considering citizenship)

First New Marvel X-Men Crossover Revealed

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Marvel announced the first major crossover of Jonathan Hickman’s Dawn of X era of X-Men. X of Swords will tie all the X-titles together in a ’90s throwback, 15-part crossover touching every single book in the line. 

“One of the cool things we are able to do now, because we’ve established the X-line and really know where we’re going, is that we’re able to try some different things out,” Hickman said in a statement. “X of Swords will be an old school crossover that meanders through the entire line. It’s almost like chapters of a story.”

Hickman, you’ll recall, reinvigorated the X-Men line with House of X and Powers of X. And like Powers of X, X of Swords is using the Roman numeral X as a sort of low-nerdy double entendre. Where Powers of X examined four time periods of exponential scales, X of Swords heavily implies a focus on the mystical (the Ten of Swords is a not great tarot card – it depicts a man lying face down on the ground with ten swords in his back), and the promotional artwork seems to hint at that being the case. 

As he did for HoX/PoX, Mark Brooks drew a pretty interesting promotional piece for X of Swords. Take a look, but be warned: Past the picture, there will be spoilers for most Dawn of X comics, as we try and look at who’s on the piece, and almost as importantly, what swords they’re holding.

Starting in the top left corner and moving clockwise:

Eye Boy, created for Jason Aaron’s underrated Wolverine and the X-Men and slated to appear as part of Leah Williams’ and David Baldeon’s X-Factor. That book has Trevor as a part of the team that investigates mutant deaths so the resurrection protocols can be initiated. He’s wielding some kind of eye sword.

Gorgon, the ex-Hand leader who once killed, resurrected and brainwashed Wolverine into being a Hand agent. Since joining the mutants on Krakoa, Gorgon was personally recommended by Logan to be one of the four Great Captains of Krakoa, responsible for the protection of the mutant ruling council when they leave the island. He’s holding the Godkiller sword that he’s carried since he was in Hickman’s Secret Warriors. The blade was created for Zeus but lost, and eventually made its way into Gorgon’s hands.

Next to him is John Greycrow, formerly one of Sinister’s Marauders, and slated to be a member of Hellions, an upcoming book from Zeb Wells and Stephen Segovia. Greycrow is a master marksman who honed his talents in war (originally World War II, but Marvel Time means his service dates have been moved up to Symkaria or something) and has technology powers. He’s carrying some kind of technological gunsword.

Below and to the right is Brian Braddock, formerly Captain Britain but now titleless (I believe) after ceding the Amulet of Right to his sister Betsy in Tini Howard and Marcus To’s magnificent Excalibur. He’s holding the Sword of Might, one of the two artifacts offered to potential Captains Britain. When captured and corrupted in Otherworld by Morgan Le Fay, Brian gave up the Amulet of Right to Betsy to help her stop Le Fay’s attack. He’s currently suffering through a crisis of confidence now that he’s left with only the sword. It also feels important that he’s textually not a mutant.

Below Captain Britain is Psylocke. This will stop being confusing in a couple of months – Kwannon (the woman who was body-swapped with Elizabeth Braddock back in the late ‘80s, then died of the Legacy Virus in Betsy’s old body) was resurrected during Wolverine’s return before HoXPoX. She was most recently in Fallen Angels running down ex-family and trying to kill Apoth, a self-aware AI drug dealer. Psylocke is carrying a fairly standard-looking sword. 

Above him is Rachel Grey, another member of X-Factor, carrying the Blade of the Phoenix, the Shi’ar sword used by the Death Commandos to wipe out her bloodline on Earth.

Below her is Charles Xavier, carrying the sword Magneto made for him out of the broken shards of the Cerebro helmet he was wearing when he was shot in the head in the pages of X-Force.

Next to him is Cable carrying a sword I recognize but can’t name at the moment. Cable is set to appear in his own book, from Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto, but has spent much of Dawn of X on family vacations with Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rachel Grey, his uncle Gabe, his dad’s boyfriend Wolverine, his dad’s other wife Emma Frost, and their island home’s estranged sister.

Above Cable is Doug Ramsey, Cypher. Doug was most recently running around Shi’ar territory trying to get to Chandilar to visit with Cannonball in Hickman and Rod Reis’ New Mutants. He’s back on Earth and back to functioning as Krakoa’s voice now. The sword he’s carrying looks like it’s a techno-organic extension of his arm, but it could also be his best friend, Warlock the Technarch, hiding from Cyclops. Confused? Go read X-Men #7.

Next to Cable and Cypher is Betsy Braddock, the newest Captain Britain. She is attacking with her telekinetic sword that’s a manifestation of her powers, and she’s dressed in her snazzy new Captain Britain uniform designed by To for Excalibur.

Next to Betsy is a yet-unnamed sidekick to Angel who’s set to appear in Vita Ayala and Bernard Chang’s Children of the Atom, starting in April.

Marvel Movies Release Schedule: Complete MCU Phase 4 Timeline

By Mike Cecchini

Down and to his right is Domino, sporting a fancy wooden stabbing sleeve crafted by Forge to heal the parts of her that were skinned by the Reavers to allow them to pass undetected through Krakoa’s defenses in early X-Force. 

Below her is Cyclops with a laser sword. You don’t need much more than that.

In the bottom right corner is Armor, Hisako Ichiki. She debuted in Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men, and has been a leader of that era of students since. She’s currently spreading the good word about Krakoa to mutants around the world in the pages of New Mutants.

To the left is Wolverine carrying the Muramasa blade. This sword cuts through anything and disrupts healing factors – it’s one of the few things that could potentially hurt Wolverine enough to kill him.

Next to Logan is Magik, Ilyanna Rasputin, carrying her Soulsword. More on this in a second, but Magik has most recently been in space with Cypher and the rest of the New Mutants, in her case trying to make out with all of the Shi’ar Death Commandos.

To Magik’s side is Storm carrying some kind of long lightning kunai.This is one of my favorite sentences of all time.

Below Storm is Nightcrawler, the first Pope of a new mutant religion (again, read X-Men #7, it’s bonkers) carrying a fancy looking rapier. Nightcrawler has always been modeled (and modeled himself) after Errol Flynn, and the rapier is a big part of that.

Next to Nightcrawler is Storm’s Marauders teammate Iceman, ready for some Stabbing…and…Chill…? I’m sorry, once I thought of it I had to type it.

And finally, above Iceman is Apocalypse, the man who ended the Bronze Age. Apocalypse is pictured here holding one of the jagged scimitars he was last seen carrying in a flashback told by Cypher about Krakoa’s ancient history. Krakoa was once Okkara, one big island, until an invasion from another plane forced Apocalypse to sacrifice his first Horsemen to seal off that invasion, and half of Okkara. Arrako, the sealed off sister island to Krakoa, reappeared in X-Men #2, and with it the daughter of one of the Horsemen. 

This was one of the most exciting dangling ideas from House of X and Powers of X. The fact that Dawn of X has been just as casually stuffed with new concepts and deep examinations of the changes wrought by Krakoa and the Five’s resurrection abilities, while also making time for fun superhero punch ups and picking up ideas that have been left on the ground by the introductory series is what’s making the X-Men line so exciting right now. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530" }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

X of Swords kicks off in July.
