#dreaming of death!sapnap

[somerandomcryptid]

A new challenger approaches! Sapnap is here now, and he is very confused.

I was going to do panels and shit for the first page but I decided to give myself mercy

This gets the point and vibe across without me killing myself over backrounds :)

This is my favorite face I've drawn, ever

Look at him! He's just a little guy!

Also, long haired Sapnap propaganda >:)

I will give every man ever long hair /j

Anyway lore drop!:

Bad and Skeppy just kind of adopt Cryptid at the first chance they get, it's not legal technically but like if anyone in the smp was going to be their legal guardian(s) it would be these two, and it basically is

Also they are fully think of themselves as their dads so yeah, in their eyes, this is their new child

In Cryptid's eyes it's a bit more complicated, as I've said before they're extremely resentful (if not too tired to actually get into a screaming match) when they are brought to Skeppy and Bad, and while they warm up to them quick enough, they don't immediately see them as their dads, they're touched by the gesture (and do feel similarly, just not as much) but it feels a bit like they're betraying their original parents if they accept that Bad and Skeppy are essentially also their dads at this point

Anyway that's the context, and that happens over approximately a week or so probably

Then, once Bad sees even a sliver of acceptance for the whole family thing he invites Sapnap over, not telling him what's going on and who he's introducing him to

And... it actually goes fine!

Sapnap and Cryptid actually get along pretty well even though I think they're both a bit embarrassed by their dad

Obviously Sapnap doesn't know shit about Cryptid even knowing Dream, and Cryptid only heard him mentioned probably like once, maybe twice, so it's not like they have any feelings on him particularly

So they have a pretty blank slate!

They aren't exactly sibling material by the time Wren and Dream get to the smp (oops spoilers) but they are definitely friendly, and once Sapnap learns about all the Dream stuff he is immediately more protective of them, like Sam, the situation reminds him too much of Tommy despite it being very very different

(obligatory disclaimer that Dreaming of Death is an au of the Penpal @calamari-minecraft-corner)

[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}

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:

Baby c!Dream has made a friend! This is great!

He has unlocked: less loneliness! New social skill tree! Ally for dangerous missions! Interesting new snacks!

All of these are very exciting new things, and Dream and Sapnap quickly form a routine, they'll often meet up in the mornings, then they'll run off to find some place to go exploring.

The biggest problem is that unlikely Dream, Sapnap has a much more restrictive guardian. Said guardian was already quite upset that Sapnap ran off to a cave without telling him and wasn't too happy with him running off with an unnamed strange.

This meant that Sapnap had to go home every single night, unlike Dream who could stay out as long as he wanted. He did try to get back to the treehouse to meet XD once a week, but it wasn't really an issue if he couldn't. XD would always find him.

XD never got mad at him for wandering either, he was actually quite proud of little Dream for branching out and working on exploring.

Now, he wasn't happy the first time he found out Dream got hurt (it'd only been a handful of scraps from a recent fall, but the god had found himself unused to how humans bleed. He'd forgotten how fragile they are), but XD calmed himself down and just provided a number of handy potions and medical supplies so Dream could keep himself patched up.

So Dream and Sapnap would have to make sure that Sapnap was home on time, and particularly down in the caves, neither of them was great at keeping track of time.

This lead to Sapnap getting in trouble and not being allowed out for several days. And more importantly, the more it happened, the more Sapnap reported that his guardian wasn't happy to let him wander off with some stranger.

Sapnap had offered several times to bring Dream to meet his guardian, but Dream found himself wary. Sapnap was one thing, he was another child. Dream was even taller than him! So if anything went wrong, clearly Dream could handle it.

From what Sapnap said, Dream was not taller than Sapnap's guardian. He wasn't sure if he could take the man in a fight. So if something went wrong...

XD has also told him to be very careful about talking to other humans. He hadn't said that Dream COULDN'T, but he had said to be careful. What if Bad knew about magic? What if he asked a lot of questions? What if he was loud and got angry?

There were too many unknowns. Far too many for comfort.

So Dream made up excuses and put off meeting Sapnap's guardian for as long as he could.

In the end, he didn't really have a say in it.

See, one of the many things that Dream had learned was that Sapnap was a blaze hybrid. Apparently, it was a creature from the nether, which wasn't where they were now.

Blaze hybrids like Sapnap didn't like water very much. Sapnap could take baths and get wet, but he really didn't like it unless the water was warm. Cold water was bad. It could kill him.

Dream had learned that well over a month ago, but he hadn't paid it much mind until now. Until the ground had given out from underneath the two of them

For a moment, Dream was terrified of the fall. It was only for a moment though, because it turned out it wasn't that far, he just barely had time to grab a breath before his body hit the water.

It was Cold. Bone piercingly cold. Colder than any underground river Dream had been in before.

It was also a river, the current wasn't too strong, but Dream still had to fight to surface once he managed to get his brain back online. The cold sucked, but he managed to shove it to the back of his mind. Dream was good with cold. He could handle this.

Swimming was a bit harder, XD had taught him the basics, but he wasn't as good as Sap-

Oh no.

Dream frantically searched the surface he could see, trying to find his friend.

It was hard in the dark. Ever since the mask he couldn't see as well in the low light. Despite this, he managed to make out what looked like a shape drifting down river.

It wasn't moving.

Shoot.

Without thinking, Dream angled himself and paddled until he managed to reach the shape, kicking his feet to stay afloat as he desperately tried to maneuver the body of his friend upright.

The cold was numbing his hands, but he managed to get Sapnap flipped over so the other's head was up. Dream couldn't tell if he was breathing. He didn't know how to.

What he did know was he needed to get Sapnap out of this river now.

The two of them were drifting down stream, Dream wasn't sure where exactly it lead, but he could see a faint light a ways down and it was the closet thing he had to a direction.

Holding onto Sapnap, he kicked his feet and swam with the current until he was able to see where the light was coming from.

It was an opening above the river, there was a bit of a bank. Not much of one, but enough that Dream was pretty sure he could scrabble up it.

Getting up it with Sapnap would be harder, but Dream needed to. There wasn't another option.

As they came up on the bank, Dream gathered his strength and used one hand to pull himself out of the river and onto the shore.

He was almost pulled right back in as he tried to hold onto Sapnap, but with a tremendous amount of effort he managed to hold on and pull Sapnap up out of the water.

There wasn't enough space to lay Sapnap out or check on him here. So Dream was forced to suppress his shivering, pull Sapnap onto his back and slowly start up the steep bank towards the opening. He used one hand to keep his friend stable and the other to half crawl, half climb up.

As he climbed, he was acutely aware of the fact he couldn't feel any breathing from the figure on his back.

Although in fairness he also couldn't feel his hands anymore and those were bleeding.

It took ages, but he managed to crest the edge of the cave and pull them both out into the crisp autumn air. As soon as he was out, he fell to the ground. Taking deep breaths in as shakes wracked his body.

He needed to get up. Sapnap needed him.

Summoning what will he had left, Dream opened his inventory and pulled out a few of the potions that XD had given him.

Regen was best for anything that wasn't a gash. XD had even given him strength just in case.

Dream got two of the regen potions, one regular and one topical. Sapnap very clearly couldn't drink the potion so it'd need to do.

Breaking the topical potion's bottle, Dream spread it over his friend's face and neck like he'd been taught. The magic pulsed and fizzled, and for a moment Dream was scared it wouldn't take-

But it did. It glowed a bright pink and then absorbed into his skin.

That meant he was still alive. Okay.

Once that was done, Dream quickly chugged the second regen potion and followed it up with the strength.

The regen stopped the blood and while it didn't erase the cold, it did ease the numbness. The strength tore into the exhaustion eating at him and gave him enough strength to push himself to his feet and pick Sapnap back up.

The regen might've saved Sapnap for now, but he wasn't waking up. He needed to get warm again.

They were close to the entrance of the cave, which wasn't too far from Sapnap's nest. Dream could get him there. He had to.

The journey was a slog, even with the potions boosting him, Sapnap was heavy and Dream was tired and cold.

But he did it!!

Dream managed to get to the edge of the clearing where he and Sapnap usually parted, and after a moment. he pushed towards where Sapnap usually went. Down a little trail, he saw a house.

Relief hit him instantly, and then he saw a figure in the window.

The figure- a man? A demon? (He looked like one from Dream's books, but Dream couldn't be sure), saw him and-

Oh. They were coming outside. They looked upset.

XD had given Dream an invisibility potion, and if his fingers weren't numb and tired, Dream would've probably tried to use it in order to escape. But he couldn't.

The demon was out the door and rushing over and talking and it was way too much. All Dream could do was brace himself and hope that he would at least make sure that Sapnap was okay before he got angry.

[limitless-blue]

im rewatching dream's video while in public (<- waiting for my next class) and i just got to george's sacrifice. tell me why im literally tearing up and about to cry. in public. over minecraft. this is so embarrassing but also. very warranted

[empiressmp]

Tubbo for all that is good and holy murder them all

[xomoosexo]

Hello, hello, helloo :D

I‘m in a good mood today! New drideo still having an effect ;) So just a quick little question today:

What was your favorite moment of the drideo?

I loved hearing them all laugh so much 🥰 Very excited for what‘s to come!!

I hope you have/had an amazing day 🌻

- 🌵

i loved all the reactions I'm such a sucker for that stuff I just love watching their friends go :0 omg this is so cool

[pomellon]

Mmm yes good this dead space au is tasty. I'm curious though, what IS Dream doing during all this? 👀 And maybe if you have thoughts on the other trio what's goin' on over with them too?

I was playing around with two ideas for Dream, either that he was already off the ship or that he’s still on it and simply don’t know his boyfriends are on it too until the last couple of hours of the event (I imagine the time frame of Sapnap and George getting on the ship and eventually managing to escape it is no longer than 10-12 hours, there’s just things constantly happening within those hours). I eventually decided to go with the latter since it would be more interesting for Dream’s character and make more sense to the story.

So Dream has been on the ship since the beginning, since before the Marker was brought on board and witnessed everything unfold on the planet colony and then eventually on the Ishimura. He was protesting bringing the Mark onboard from the very start, having seen the effects it had on some of the civilians from the colony that they brought up to study. But of course the religious fanatics thought it more important to retrieve their holy relic than to protect the lives of their crew. 

In hopes of learning more about the Marker and how it affects people Dream studied it pretty closely and he knows it's the artifact that is causing everything. It makes people have delusions, it causes them to die at the hands of each other or themselves, and it then mutates the DNA of the corpses, creating Infectors that spread the necromorph mutation, creating more dead bodies to infect.

Dream is also having delusions, but he’s more aware of them. He actually keeps seeing Sapnap and George even before they arrive on the ship. At first he ignores them, not falling for the Marker’s tricks, but the worse things get the more he starts to turn to his hallucinations for comfort. He knows that they’re not really there, but he starts talking to them to soothe himself.

This ended up making him believe Sapnap and George are just his normal hallucinations when he does get in contact with them, and he kind of acts like they’ve been on the ship the whole time. Sapnap easily goes along with it because he’s “seen” Dream too so it makes sense to him. Meanwhile George is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on and start question his own sanity with the way his boyfriends are acting. Maybe he’s the one going insane?

As for the other three, they don’t get added to the story until after the Ishimura events!

Karl is a scientist sent with a team to gather Marker shards on Aegis VII, or what’s left of the planet (spoiler, dnn manage to return the Marker to the planet where it, and part of the planet, is crushed when the Ishimura’s gravity tethers fail, releasing the planet chunk it was holding and sending it crashing back down miles below.). He is heavily influenced by just the shard they find and bring back to the ship, managing to decode part of the Marker’s purpose and architectural design to potentially build a new one. But he also ends up testing his knowledge which triggers another necromorph outbreak on this other ship. 

He survives but is taken in by EarthGov, the main governmental body of this setting, that wants to sweep all these Marker events under the rug. They torture him for his knowledge and then lock him in a cryo chamber for potential future use. The same has happened to dnn after they managed to escape the Ishimura.

Three years later we find Punz and Foolish on the Sprawl, a civilian space station built on the remains of Saturn's moon, Titan, which was broken into pieces in a planet cracking operation. Punz is a security and repair officer on the station while Foolish is a technician. They’re often paired up to fix things and are really close friends, maybe even a little bit more than that already. 

They’re doing their normal routine of getting called out to repair jobs around the station when they notice a lot of the issues they come across seem to have been deliberately sabotaged and tampered with. It's while they’re musing over this that they are notified of an outbreak on the station, and I’m sure you can guess what that means!

As it so happens, the cryo chambers the other four have been stored in are also on the Sprawl and Foolish, an agent of Unitology, is tasked to let them out amidst the outbreak. All six of them will end up getting separated and paired up to survive yet another necromorph outbreak.

A tease for the next Dreaming of Death comic I'm drawing, just a sketch this time but it was too funny not to post

I shall give no context

(Dreaming of Death is an au based on the fic Penpal by @calamari-minecraft-corner so keep that in mind :) )

[mahikamihan]

oh man, sc!sapnap's death is so horrifying, with dream and george it happens instantly. But imagine blaze!sapnap, born for the heat, they were playing memory games in the cold for SO LONG. then the hypothermia kicks in, he starts shivering that he can't even hold onto the cards properly anymore. he gets BURIED ALIVE under the freezing snow [which can take HOURS]... He can feel his heart pump slower and slower under that heavy weight of frost and dirt. He'll be so confused as oxygen stops entering his brain, and he just... slowly fades away...

[bleue-flora]

You’d be right of course.

Awesamdude - [Foolish, Sam & Q being unhinged-read the chat ;D]

Sapnap - [c!Dream rebuilding c!Tubbo’s house after c!Tommy burned it down]

Tommyinnit [Dream: no more killing, Sapnap: immediately kills Alyssa]

Sooo much lore….

and I mean… it’d be fitting narratively speaking…

[alittledizzy]

what's an aspect of dnf's dynamic that you think really emphasizes how different they are with each other comparing to the other 2 duos (snf and dreamnap)?

dream and sapnap are brothers. that's a ride or die, til death relationship. that's i'm literally gonna put myself in the path of a bullet for you forever shit. i'll move across the country just to answer the door. the we were children and then you helped make me into the man i am kind of bond.

george and sapnap are best friends. they're the kind of best friends that fucking hate each other one minute, will yell and scream in each other's face about it, and fucking mean it. and then ten minutes later casually announce they're going to get cookies. they're the besties that sit in each other's room at 3 am just to talk shit and keep each other company. they're the 'i'll do this without you asking so we don't have to make shit awkward' bffs.

but dream and george just feel like... the deep end of the pool. like there's always been a desperate tinge to the amount and quality of time they spend together. like they're tapped in, always; even if one of them or both of them still goes off and does other things, they orbit each other always.

i do think since george moved to america what played out online has turned more personal and private, with a layer to it they've realized they have the option to hide. but god, if this year proved anything, it should have proven that george and dream are locked in step no matter what is happening in their lives. they love each other in a way that dream will declare, voice breaking and life falling apart, as a full step sentence all of its own. they choose each other repeatedly even when, at different turns, everything in their lives could have gone easier if they'd done anything else but choose each other so publicly and unapologetically.

i don't actually think there's a 'one above the other' type of situation between the three of them. people are complicated, they have different dynamics, and rely on each other in different ways. it's just like, three different angles of a prism, the light is going to splinter differently depending on how you look at it and the time of day.

[supernovaa-remnant]

how ctechno tries to court cdream? Like what methods he uses?

well, he tries a lot of things from a wide variety of cultures because, again, he's not entirely sure what culture dream is from.

first, he tries other nether customs because he may not know what dream is, but he's pretty sure dream grew up with sapnap who was raised by bad... or something.

the thing is, though, techno is trying to show that he's very serious about respecting the merging of their two cultures. so, he decides to add some piglin flair to everything. how does he do that? by making it all a competition. because competitiveness is a love language, especially in piglin culture where by engaging in competition, you're showing that you're on equal footing and will make a good match.

this means that with everything techno tries, dream just assumes it's a part of their rivalry.

"hey dream. I bet I can loot this fortress before you." "okay so we both walk into a fortess, get ourselves withered, and see who cracks first and drinks milk." "we both have to raise and defend these turtle eggs. whoever's turtles are healthiest, wins."

that... doesn't work. dream is really into it, of course, and takes all the opportunities he can get to try and rack up his wins against techno, but he doesn't show signs of taking the courting to the next step.

so, techno is kinda in this limbo where he's engaged to the guy, but he can't seem to figure out what he needs to do to get the guy to actually marry him.

phil is... equally baffled. listen. listen. phil is married to the goddess of death. that is... not a normal relationship, so he doesn't really have a good basis for giving relationship advice. he just thinks dream is testing techno, seeing if he's really the best suited partner, but they can't figure out what dream wants techno to do.

it doesn't help that dream is also oblivious to the more obvious human customs. the dates techno takes them on? dream thinks it's another level of their rivalry. baking date? okay, so they're seeing who can bake the best cake. going for a nice evening stroll around the server? dream will be sure to kill more mobs than techno.

it just... doesn't occur to dream that techno's essentially flirting with him. dream's mind is so jumbled with everything happening on the server that he never even stops to consider it.

but, well, his rivalry with techno is the one thing that hasn't changed during all of this, so he'll keep it for as long as he's able to.

[tinamybeloved]

Dream: marriage is like you swearing

Sapnap: to the government 🤨

Dream: I actually will probably not get legally married but like marrying someone you are swearing your soul to that person for the rest of your life like you will be with them til death do you part

(Or dream’s views on marriage)

[misty-doodles]

Please see this post for context.

It's Sapnap and Bad who make time to visit the ghost, though they quickly learn he holds none of the good memories. It seems, unlike Ghostbur, Ghost Dream can only remember things as they were last he saw them alive. Because the last memory he has of either of them happened to be their abandonment in his weakest moments, he is terrified of them. It extends to everyone else, a mixture of hatred and guilt towards Tommy and Tubbo, indifference towards Ranboo, and attachment to Techno.

He is only willing to leave his cell into the immediate rooms beside them. "How will Techno find me if I'm gone!? He will come and let me meet Steve," he says with a strange mix of hopeful mourning. He continues to hold onto his cape and talk about what little he remembers of prison when asked, even if it makes him unstable and queasy. He speaks of sheets and blades and lava. Of his little cauldron that Sir would shove his head into and Warden who was angry at Sir and him and—

Dream doesn't like talking about his death. They don't force it. It's not very nice to watch a ghost start to rip apart at the seams as their mental stability crumbles.

It takes another 3 weeks before Techno wakes.

He is unwell and groggy. He is stressed and angry, and what do you mean Quackity and Sam are MIA? It makes his blood boil and Chat scream inconsolably in his ears to think about. But Philza is here, and he's holding the piglin hybrid as he shakes, and he's so, so sorry about being late. Philza is crying a little and Techno wants to vomit because he can't see properly anymore and his head is off center without one of his tusks. It's sore even beyond the respawn, and he both wants to claw Quackity to shreds and never see his stupid face ever again.

And then he remembers Dream, how could he forget the friend he left in that prison with those monsters? What if they took him away with them to their perfect hiding place? Philza is somber as he explains the much worse truth, that the man had been murdered. Quite brutally, if Ponk's observations are to be believed.

Techno… he doesn't really have much energy to properly react to this information. He's been put through the wringer of stress and losing a canon life. But the ghost of one of his few friends is still trapped within those bloodied walls and he'll be damned if he abandons him now.

Dream is a mess when techno arrives, though that's to be expected. His toxic tears are overwhelmed as he clings to his front, words unintelligible through the tears and static that overlays his voice. Techno can understand parts, about the pickaxe and loneliness, "Sir mad, hurt hurt hurt," interspersed within the mad ramblings of a dead man.

"Yeah, nerd, it hurts,"

New players

( For context, I have finally come back to my abandoned au I haven't used yet with two oc's. One of them is really old, and never got a design until a few days ago and the other one is very new. Dream is a Naga in this au, because I rarely see naga Dream noms. My new character is just an ordinary female human, while the other is a Lizardshifter. Meaning that they can shift into any lizard-type creatures like dinosaurs, lizards and even dragons. Lore will drop out soon enough for these two. Also, this is just an au of mine! I will probably make another story of this au soon.)

The server was quiet. Not a chaotic quiet but a calm quiet. The Admin, Dream, was literally a naga that... didn't really hurt anyone. All of the members were still a bit shaken by his appearance, but not scared that he'll probably eat them. Not that he'd actually do it, as he has said multiple times when questioned every time until they were assured he wouldn't gobble them up as an easy meal.

Although, he wouldn't mind storing someone if they knew about his anatomy well enough to know that it was safe. He knew both Sapnap and BadBoyHalo had brooding pouches, maybe Philza too, but they didn't know Naga anatomy or anything. Maybe Philza did know very little of his anatomy, but not a whole lot. It had been a problem hiding his instincts or controlling them.

Especially when your friends looked so vulnerable.

" WHAT THE FUCK?!"

He heard Tommy all but screech, as if he had seen a ghost. Maybe he saw one because of the illusion of the mushrooms Sapnap gave to him as a prank.

" LANGUAGE!"

Typical BBH. He sighed, slithering outside of his human-made cave to check out what the ruckus was all about. He was confused, if not shocked too.

A storm had brewed up out of nowhere, and it didn't have rain pouring down. Just flashes of lightning and the dark clouds. George had stood not far from where he was, including the rest of the server, it seemed. Sapnap was confused, and the fireborn seemed to have taken shelter under some trees with Ranboo.

" What is happening...?"

" HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW! ONE SECOND I AM GETTING WOOD, TGE NEXT SECOND, A BIG STORM APPEARED!"

" Calm down. Maybe it's a glitch?"

But he knew that it couldn't be a glitch. The Admin would've received intellect from the server's code about glitches. This wasn't a glitch. He hummed, watching it a few minutes longer in time to see a bolt nearly strike a building. It was one of the buildings Tommy built for Technoblade.

" Dream?! Can you get rid of this storm?!"

He shook his head slightly, as if knowing that he was unable to rid the anomaly and make it a peaceful day again.

" I-"

Thunder flashed, two silhouettes falling from the sky, as a bolt flashed again, into the forest away from the base. Everyone had to have seen them, right?

" What the f- the storm is gone? Did you get rid of it, Dream?"

He all but shook his head the question, looking back at the forest where he saw the silhouettes fall.

" Has anyone seen Foolish?"

" Sorry, Karl. I haven't seen him recently. He just went to the ocean to get something. Said he'll be back by nightfall."

Dream ignored the conversations, staring at the forest blankly. Had he just imagined it? Probably. No way a storm formed out of nowhere and disappeared after two people fell out of the sky. He shook his head and returned to his cave, building more materials for the members to enhance their mining.

Just as he got done with one iron pickaxe, he got a message from Fundy. Curious, he opened his comminicator, reading the message.

' Come to -234, -31.'

' Co-ordinates?'

Dream though, a bit confused at the text-

' QUICK!'

' On my way.'

He typed, taking a moment to process what just happened. It had to be urgent...

He sighed, setting the crafting materials aside and exited the cave. He made sure to place a sign down to let everyone know that he was out somewhere. Not that they would try to craft an item without him there. They wouldn't find the hidden chest containing the precious materials. He was the only one with knowledge of making the materials so far, as the rest of the crew were... a bit dumb.

He opened a screen, checking the co-ordinates. He was at -297, 10. He wasn't that far from Fundy, but he wasn't too close either. It would probably take a few minutes of slithering while the other humans took approximately twenty minutes to get there. He loved being part snake sometimes.

He wasn't sure why Fundy seemed a bit panicked/worried from what he could gather from the capital letters in the second message, including the exclamation mark.

He slithered in the direction of where the co-ordinates took him, making sure to pass by some mushrooms that had a slight blue glow to them. He didn't want to have another experience with illusions again. Not with those mushrooms.

" Dream!"

Fundy immediately waved for the naga to follow him, seeming distressed and urgently trying to get him to follow. Dream knew by then that something was wrong.

" QUICKLY! FOLLOW ME!"

" Woah- Fundy- wait-"

The admin had to literally slither a bit quicker to keep up with him. The fox hybrid was quick and almpst silent with how he ran. Dream had to admit, the hybrid was quick. Although, the hybrid had shorter stamina than him in comparison.

He saw Fundy stop, and he began to slow down. The porcelain mask glistened in the sunlight now that it had finally made contact with it. The poor fox-hybrid had his ears down, tail between his legs as he looked at Dream.

" Um- so... I saw a storm and..."

He used a paw to gesture to show Dream something. He followed to where the paw gestured for him to look, and his green eyes widened in shock.

" these two fell out of the sky."

What Fundy was pointing at were two figures under some wooden planks Fundy probably constructed to keep them out of the sun. He had never seen these two before, or didn't receive a pop-up in the chat to let the entire server know that they had joined his server. As a matter of fact, how did they get into his server?

" Um... yeah... they don't look good either."

Dream lifted his mask slightly to reveal his lips, flicking his tongue to taste the air. He smelled blood.

" Did you give them regeneration?"

" I didn't have one, and just went with building something to protect them both from the sun."

He looked a bit upset at that, but shook his head as kept speaking.

" And one of them had a strange blood colour."

" Strange? How strange?"

Fundy motioned him to get closer to the two people.

" Um... does a black glistening purple metallic colour blood count?"

Fundy lifted the arm of the person wearing a mask, gloves off as it exposed the black contents dripping from their skin. It, indeed had a purple shine when seen from a certain angle or if some light poured in. It was a black-purple colour.

" It... that is not normal."

" So... any idea what they are?"

" I know that the blonde is just a normal human. The masked one... I have no idea."

Both saw night approach, and Fundy built the two people in, trapping them inside the hollow box of wooden planks for their protection.

" We should get Ranboo or Sapnap? One of them can carry one pf the two while I carry the other person. That way, you can protect us."

" I don't know... we can just wait for it out until day. It'll be easier as you have enough planks to build a small hideout."

Fundy sighed, shoulders slumped but he nodded. Not that he fully agreed with the Admin, but it was better then to accidentally drop the unconscious person while Dream attacked. It might cause more injuries on both of them than helping and healing them. Besides, Dream was large enough to coil his tail four times around them for protection and warmth.

It didn't take long to quickly build a temporary hideout for the four and destroy the box around the new people. It wasn't large, but it wasn't small. It was just big enough to fit Dream's entire length and leave enough room for Fundy and the two newcomers.

The only light was the torch in the middle of the hideout, illuminating the room with a soft yellow glow. Dream's tail coiled around Fundy and the two injured people, radiating warmth that the three desperately needed. Except Fundy, as he was part fox. The other two, however, needed warmth the most.

One of them stirred, and both Admin and Fundy turned their attention to the two, seeing the blonde stir and sit upright. Most of her hair covered her left eye. Probably from impact.

" Um... hi?"

Her eyes flew open upon hearing Fundy speak, staring at the two. And then-

" WHO ARE?!"

" Woah- calm down, ma'am-"

" WHERE AM I?!"

She tried to back up, but ended up backing up against Dream's coils. She froze in place."

" Um... firstly, I am Fundy and this is Dream. Secondly, you are with us in a temporary hideout for the night due to dangerous mobs."

" Can you please calm down? And tell us how you got in my server or who you are?"

Dream offered a small smile, but it did little to help calm her down as she only shook her head and glared at them. She refused to answer, but did seem to try to get closer to the other girl. Do they know each other? Possibly.

" What's your friend's name? So that we don't just use your pronouns?"

She refused, folding her arms over her knees and holding them tightly. Maybe a bit too tightly as Dream could smell fresh blood after flicking his tongue.

" Hey- don't hurt yourself! We don't want to hurt you two! We just want to bring you back to base and heal you and your friend."

Seems like he wasn't the only one who could smell fresh blood. Fundy was full of surprises as a fox hybrid, it seemed. But it would make sense as he was part fox.

" ... How do I know you aren't lying?"

" Um..."

Fundy looked at Dream for help.

" Well- I am a naga which means that I would've had a chance to eat you-"

" WHAT?!"

" Dream- that isn't helping-"

" IF it weren't for the fact that I only eat animals."

She stared at Dream in shock, slowly loosening her grip on her arm, but looked away quickly. The air was tense and quiet for a good minymte before she started mumbling something.

" Pardon?"

" Juliette..."

She closed her eyes, inhaling shakily.

" I am Juliette."

" Nice to meet you, Juliette. I promise that we only want to heal you two up."

Dream was quiet, but it was soon discovered why as he was already asleep. Juliette shivered at the mere touch of his scaled lower half.

" What's the name of your friend, if you don't mind me asking?"

She hesitated, contemplating whether or not to tell them the masked woman's name. He quickly began to talk.

" You don't have to say her name if you don't want to! That's fine by me and Dream."

He looked nervous, almost as if he was scared that he may have made her uncomfortable. Yet, she showed no signs of being uncomfortable. She just... looked wary, which was understandable.

" Um..."

She looked off to the side, hesitant as she looked at the green scales. Her eyes immediately displayed curiosity, and she dared to reach up to feel Dream's scales. Though, Fundy looked worried about how he would react.

As soon as her hand made contact, the tail flinched and Dream stirred, turning his attention to where he felt the touch. Juliette immediately yelped, scooting away from the muscle and muttered an apology.

" Sorry..."

Dream sighed, but said nothing. He only brought his tail closer, lowering his head back onto his arms, watching her. Fundy had not expected that type of reaction from Dream, but thought that it was probably smart enough to let her curiosity go wild so that she didn't do anything dumb.

" Wh-what cr-creature are y-you?"

She stuttered, shyly glancing at Dream and Fundy. Out of all the questioms she had, she wanted to know what creature he was?

" Furry one of you two..."

Oh... That made sense. Get to know what creatures both of them were so that she could get comfortable or try to feel safe around them both.

" Well... you can probably tell that I am a fox hybrid. Not really sure what else to say."

He offered a soft smile, before giving Dream a nod. As if giving him a chance to explain what creature he was. She tilted her head, curious but began to worry about Dream.

" Well, to put it in short, Fundy is just a mix of fox and human."

Her face twisted in confusion.

" H-how is that p-possible?"

" We... uh... don't question it."

She was dumbfounded, shoulders slumped at the brief explanation. She didn't seem as scared as before, but still was wary. Not that he blamed her.

Fundy leaned against anpther secrion of his tail, getting comfortable and drifting off. He mostly relied on Dream's warmth radiating from his scales. Nights tended to get cold in the woods, and he wasn't sure if the unconscious person would make it. She hasn't woken up yet, and it might have been only half an hour.

Fundy was fast asleep, and that's when Juliette had the courage to ask something he had not expected.

" Y... you are a naga, right?"

He nodded, confusion emitted from him. What did this have to do with their situation? He didn't know.

" I- um..."

She looked a bit embarrassed, scared even.

" Can... can you help my friend?"

" How can I help her?"

" She is a... uh- shifter of lizards? And uh..."

He tilted his head, a vague thought and idea of what she was about to ask popped up, but he dismissed it. He blamed instincts.

" And you are a reptile... Do you think that she... nevermind. It's stupid."

She turned her head away, trying to avoid eye contact with him. It just left him in a pool of confusion and curiosity. He couldn't stop as his question slipped from his mouth.

" You think I can help her?"

She looked... a bit disappointed, but nodded slowly.

" Yes... I thought you could... help her."

" How?"

" I thought you had bandages?"

" Oh... I unfortunately don't have any. Not even a regeneration potion."

She was conflicted with herself, it seemed. Not something he expected from her. It was as if she regretted her attempt at trying to ask for help to heal her friend. She didn't need to. He thought that it was a nice gesture and action that proved that she was a kind-hearted person.

" Sorry I asked."

Her voice sounded so small....

" What the- what happened?"

" Granite!"

A new voice asked, and he turned his attention to the other person. Juliette basically just jumped onto her, which caused her to hiss in pain.

" Ow- Juliette! My arm!"

The masked figure looked at Dream, and immediate began to ask a series of questions to which Juliette tried to answer as best as she could to her abilities. It was funny to see her bicker, but it replaced it with how she flinched from her injuries.

" Sorry! I am just glad that you're okay!"

Dream noticed the blood had dried up on her palm. It was a strange colour for a shifter, and he had never met a shifter that could exclusively shift into lizard related creatures. Was it because they were rare? He didn't know. He only knew that he would take them to BBG as Philza was not going to be available for a few days.

They had to just hope for the best.

-x-

" GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!"

" LANGUAGE!"

" I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR FILTER!"

" As I said: LANGUAGE!"

Things... didn't really go as well as both him and Fundy had hoped. Partly because Granite, as they learned from the interaction with Juliette, was a bit of a stubborn person with severe trust issues and a protective nature. And maybe she possibly had some trouble expressing her other emotions around strangers? It was a possibility, but wasn't to say that it was true.

Juliette was... a lot calmer as Karl treated her wounds. She didn't seem to be hostile unless in the situation she was in prior. Especially since her friend was unconscious. Not as if he could blame them both when they woke up to see strangers around them. He, too, would've reacted like that if he were a human with both George and Sapnap unconscious in their situation at that time.

Although, he couldn't help but dwell on his instinctual thoughts when Juliette asked if he could help Granite. The more... caretaker mindset made him feel uneasy. Not that it would be obvious with a mask over his eyes and lips most of the time.

He shook his head and left, getting his mindset back to crafting those pickaxes and shovels for the others to use. It wasn't like he'd try to stay there and dwell much further.

-----x-----

It had been three or four months after the arrival of Granite and Juliette. And even DreamXD had been spotted a few times. To say that Granite had basically tried to fight the god was an understatement. She managed to not only fight but also land some incredibly good but ineffective hits on him.

Not that it helped with the fact that she had gained the interest of the god, which only encouraged her further to pick a fight with him. She was either very brave and bold, or just very stupid and uneducated about the gods. It was a fifty-fifty at this point. Though, it was expected for her to not know about the gods or how many there were and their roles.

He shook his head as he saw Juliette try to hold Granite back from clawing at XD's throat which he thought was both admirable and incredibly baffling. He thought that Granite would listen to Juliette's reason, which proved to be wrong as the shifter just threw insults at the god.

However, the god left to which Granite seemed to take offense to and began cursing and calling the god pathetic for escaping. She was lucky that BBH was not here, or he'd literally wash her mouth with soup. He had done it before, and she was somehow not traumatized or anything. Rather, it made her start to curse even more.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when someone tugged on his sleeve. He turned his attention to see who it was, and was not at all surprised to find Juliette being the person to have tugged at his sleeve with Granite grumbling nonsense at the air.

" Um... Mister Dream?"

" I told you that you can just call me Dream. No need for ' Mister' when addressing me."

" Sorry..."

She fiddled with her sleeves for a bit before looking at her feet.

" I wanted to ask if... if it was true that you can craft materials?"

"Right... they hadn't seen me craft or anything. Just heard by the others that I could craft."

He sighed, but answered regardless by giving a small nod, curiosity filled his mind. He saw how her eyes lit up, and a smile begin to form on her lips, stretching from ear to ear.

" Can... can you craft a wooden sword for Granite and I? So that we can learn to use an actual sword properly in the future?"

He thought about it for a minute, but gave in. He nodded, before speaking again.

" I might have some wood left from making that shovel last time. It shouldn't take long. But let's see first."

He turned to his chest, and opened it. Lo and behold, there were still leftover wood. He was lucky to have leftovers, or he would've asked someone else to go get wood.

" I do have enough wood to make two wooden swords."

He let them know, getting the materials ready to be turned into weapons. He didn't mind if anyone watched him craft, as it was really complex to them. It should be complex to the two females too.

So, he began crafting, chipping away pieces of wood to form a sharp edge for said weapon and make a handle with whatever sticks he had left. After the first one was done, he began on the second one. He could feel both of their eyes look at how the sword was crafted by him with awe.

" That's so cool!"

He chuckled upon hearing the excitement in Juliette's voice. He couldn't help it, as she was rather sweet and literally scolded anyone trying to go back what they were doing with injuries that had been treated. It was comical, in a way as it always resulted in childish arguements. Especially with Tommy.

Now that he thought about it, Granite never revealed an inch of her face. Especially when she had to eat with everyone during hangouts. He only showed his lips when needing to taste the air, but that was about it. Granite... never really revealed any inch of her face. He shook his jead at the thought and gave them their weapons upon finishing. He would dwell on that thought later. For now, he had to focus on his tasks as Admin.

" Thank you!"

" Yeah... thanks or whatever, I guess."

Juliette began to scold Granite for her rude behaviour, to which it ended with them chasing each other and then practicing their fighting skills. How in Prime they were best friends was beyond him.

However, he was dragged out of his thoughts when Juliette began to yell at Granite. That was something that rarely happened between the two. He shrugged it off, simply thinking that they were messing around with each other with their new "toys" and testing them out.

It was silent after he had finished his work. When he looked outside, he noticed that it was nighttime already. It had to have been a few hours, since he worked on his tasks as Admin when the sun was in the sky at noon. However, he hadn't seen or heard of the two females in a little while. He grew a bit nervous, as they would already be in a building and let him know via George but when he checked his communicator, he saw nothing from George.

This made him incredibly worried, as mobs spawned at night away from the little town his friends had made, thanks to the glowstone path that had been placed everywhere. He put on a call for everyone to join, to which they did. Albeit some of them were a bit annoyed while others weren't.

" What is it?"

" Has anyone seen Granite and Juliette?"

" Sorry. I haven't seen them."

" I haven't seen them in a few hours."

" I last saw them at the pond."

" I am busy trying to get more materials for their armor in the mines."

" I thought they went to you to ask for wooden swords?"

" I did craft them the swords, and immediately began doing Admin tasks. I just got off and went through the messages."

Murmurs broke out on the call, and they were worried murmurs. BBH was always the one to be more worried, bless his kind heart. And then, George spoke up.

" I am going out to look for them. Sapnap said he'll help."

Everyone wished them luck and prayed for their safety. And then, the call ended with only Dream, George and Sapnap still on.

" I am coming with you guys."

" Alright. We'll be at the border of the forest near your cave."

" Just don't forget regeneration potions please."

" Wouldn't do that."

And then thhe call came to an end, communicator put back into his inventory as he began to get every necessary item for the search. He hadn't gotten close with them personally, but Juliette looked up to him. He didn't like failing. He wouldn't fail.

After making sure that he had everything, including some potions, he left to join the two waiting for him. He talked to them, and explained what the course of action was. He wasn't surprised to see that the two had iron armor on for safety. His scales were so thick, that not even gold could penetrate it. Only diamonds.

" Okay- I'll try to get their scent and then you two could carry them while I stand as a protector. I have more than enough regeneration potions incase they are beyond healing from one potion each."

The two nodded, seeming to agree with Dream's plan. They would have used building materials to build another temporary hideout like last time, if it were not for the fact that there were more mobs than normal and a literal god on the loose now. Who knew what XD would do to the two?! Especially since Granite literally attacked the god!

They followed Dream as soon as he went into a certain direction, tongue flicking to get a taste of the air, trying to pick up the scent of the two vulnerable females and probably a very protective Granite. Problem was, they had no idea whether Granite jad shifted into something or not, and they had never seen the robed female shift before.

He picked up a scent, and immediately made a sharp turn towards it, the other two trailing behind. He had smelled blood, which was not good. It was a definite sign that something or someone was injured.

As they got closer, they heard labored breathing and Juliette's voice. Not good. Absolutely not good.

" Dream! Sapnap! George!"

She immediately called them over as soon as she saw the trio, behind her was Granite with multiple injuries and a broken mask, revealing half of her face. She was covered in her own blood and a bit of Juliette's blood. Not that her friend had suffered most of the injuries like she did. Juliette suffered minor injuries while Granite suffered major injuries.

Now that they were literally up close, they saw a black tail behind Granite and some horns on her head. Her canines were sharper amd longer. Sapnap immediately began to inspect the injuries on Juliette while Dream went to use the splash potions to heal Granite's wounds. George inspected the damage inflicted on the raven-haired female and looked at Juliette.

" What happened?!"

His voice was a shrill yell as he demanded the background of what happened before the trio arrived. Sapnap just wrapped Juliette's injuries on her arm and face, incredibly focused on trying to put pressure on the bleeding wounds on her back.

" We got lost and then a large horde of zombies, creepers and skeletons came! Granite shifted and took most of the blows from the creepers and skeletons while also protecting me from the zombies! And then there were phantoms and-"

Her breathing increased, her chest jerking as she struggled to suck in oxygen, tears falling from her face as the memory of what happened began to traumatize her body again. She shook, body jerking with every breath she took in as she sobbed.

Sapnap tried to control her breathing, giving her breathing exercises he had gotten from BBH when Karl began panicking. Juliette kept speaking as she struggled to breath.

" And Granite- she- a phantom attacked- but then a zombie came- she swiped her talons at the phantom- and then a creeper came-"

At this point, she was messing up her sentences and her words jumbled, overlapping the previous word as she struggled to form a coherent sentence. However, from the jumbled words they gathered, it was obvious what had happened and why Granite was injured. No wonder Juliette didn't suffer major injuries and Granite did.

" It's okay. You don't need to say much more."

He looked at the Admin and George, all three exchanged worried looks and asked a telepathic question:

How were they going to get Granite out of here?

She was now too heavy for George to carry and Dream needed to have his hands free as George couldn't keep killing mobs that wished to do harm. Sure Dream could carry Granite, but then George would have to kill dangerous mobs with his low stamina, and he was better with long distance combat. Not short distance.

And they had no wood to build a temporary shelter.

Granite groaned, eyes open ajar as she stared at the four. Her eyes glowed and her pupils were slitted. Her vision was blurry and all she could see were the blurry coloured clothes from all four of them. Even her hearing was filled with ringing, their voices were muffled as they spoke.

That's when Sapnap and George looked at each other, exchanging nervous looks while Dream was too deep in thought to notice them looking at him. Even Juliette seemed nervous when they were nervous. Dream had a salution, but brushed it off as soon as the thought popped up.

He was fighting instinct to store them, especially Sapnap and George even though they had armor. He was large, and could fit all four of them in his brooding pouch, but he didn't want to scare them. Especially because none of them knew that he had a brooding pouch like Sapnap and BBH.

He sighed, facepalming. He was just going to have to fight it off and carry Granite. But then, out of nowhere and so sudden, Sapnap gave a surprising question.

" Dream, you're a naga. Don't nagas have a brooding pouch?"

George gave a confused look, but it wasn't directed at Sapnap. Rather, it was directed at Dream. The Admin was caught off guard by the question, looking at the two and very worried Juliette with a baffled expression. Not that they would see it anyways.

" How-"

" Dude! Your a naga! Everyone knows nagas have brooding pouches!"

He was baffled. No, really, he was. Did that mean he had worried over nothing? His mind couldn't comprehend what had just happened, or even process the information.

" Sapnap is right. Don't nagas have a brooding pouch?"

" What's going on? What do you mean by Dream having a brooding pouch? What's a brooding pouch?"

Right. They forgot that Juliette was here. And she had no knowledge about naga anatomy. Granite probably also had zero knowledge about his species's anatomy.

" So,"

Dream began crossing his arms.

" you are telling me that I was worried over nothing?!"

" Well- now that we think about it, yeah."

Sapnap rubbed his neck nervously, almost shyly.

" Yeah... we thought you knew everyone knew about your anatomy."

Juliette was confused and scared. Dream sighed, groaning at his stupidity. Of course everyone would know. There were books about naga anatomy in the library. He should've known.

But Juliette didn't know about how his anatomy worked. And he had to somehow convince her that it would be safe. Granite was too injured to probably not know what the hell they were talking about. Her mind wasn't comprehending what was said.

It wouldn't hurt to let instinct take over, right? To not let him hear the pleas Juliette would ask as he send her to his pouch, and tune out Granite trying her best to protect Juliette while being injured.

He hadn't realized that his tail unconsciously coiled around Juliette loosely, or how Sapnap and George tried to tell her that she was safe for what was to happen next. Or how Granite had blacked out again. George and Sapnap were also in his coils, and had not struggled. Although, they were a bit nervous as Dream had never used his brooding pouch before. Well- not with hus friends but with treasures before meeting them.

He barely heard the terrified yelp as his jaws opened, or how Juliette had squirmed in his coils as his head was brought closer to her face. He was in instinct mode, and it was evident that his friends knew this. They kept reassuring Juliette, but it fell on deaf ears on Dream. Everything was muffled, his slow progress of sending Juliette to his pouch and tip of his tail slowly coiling around Granite.

He only knew of a warm lump slide down his throat and enter his pouch before moving onto the next vulnerable person. He didn't know who it was, but he could definitely taste iron armor, which his brain registered as either Sapnap or George in its foggy state. He worked his jaws around the person, tilting his head so that gravity could assist him with getting the vulnerable thing down his throat, for it to enter his brooding pouch.

He didn't know what happened further, memory foggy and instinct on high alert as he felt the last vulnerable being weakly move at the tip of his coils. He snapped out of it, and held his head, feeling his brooding pouch full of something. He didn't see George or Sapnap or Juliette anywhere. That's when realization hit him.

He had them in his pouch.

And someone was squirming.

And two masculine voices tried to calm down that person.

It was Juliette that squirmed in his pouch.

It was Juliette that had pleaded for her life.

He panicked, about ready to hack them out when the squirming subsided, coming to an abrupt stop. No more pleading or squirming. Just stillness and quitness. He worried that the three were going to be ask to be let out, but didn't hear anything. He just felt the occasional squirming from the person to get... comfortable?

" Fucking- I am fighting that smiling mob-"

He snapped his attention to face Granite, who had wiped her face uselessly. She must be talking about XD, who he now found she that she thought that the god was a mob. She still wasn't in the best state, given how she distantly checked her surroundings.

He felt a tug at his brain, but decided to not worry about it as he brought the incoherent woman to his face. She didn't even know what the hell was going on when he opened his maw, saliva dripping from his sharp fangs as he carefully maneuvered her inside, working his jaws around her body without a hassle. He could taste the blood, which was bitter and not pleasant on his palette.

He swallowed, tilting his head as his esophagus brought her in the tube as he had gulped. He gulped again, feeling her slide down his throat and into his pouch. He never felt so relieved to have his friends this close to him, or how they knew of his anatomy.

He still felt a bit upset for letring instinct tale over and let it put Juliette in his pouch first and then his two best friends. But je found it pleasant to have control and feel how Granite slid down his esophagus and into his pouch. But je frowned and placed his hand on his tail where his brooding pouch was located.

" Is... is everyone okay? Do I need to get you out?"

" Yup! George and I are fine! Granite doesn't seem to know what is going on. Maybe she is put of it."

" And Juliette?"

His heart sped up, but he perked up at her voice. Scared, but not mad.

" Is... is it really safe?"

" I promise that you are safe!"

He blurted, hoping to Prime that she didn't take his blurt of words as a bad sign.

" I'll try to find that book that explains my anatomy when we get back! I promise!

" Can we just get a move on? I am about ready to just fall asleep after the scare of finding these two injured."

Dream just shook his head, slithering back to where they all came from. He even climbed the trees to avoid as many mobs as possible with everyone in his pouch. It won't be that bad the next day, right?

-x-

He was absolutely wrong. Granite came back from who knows where in her mind and what was the first thing she did? Go after XD. Dream had gotten them out of his pouch when they made it back to where they all came from, and is currently panicking at the shifter claw everywhere XD had teleported to. Juliette, BBH and even Foolish went after her as she ran after the god, whom teleported everytime she clawed at him.

It didn't seem to work, as she just kept going after the god like some German Shepard going after a killer during a police investigation. And she was not waiting to gain back her breath.

" Is this really the first thing she does upon waking up and get regenerated from the potion?"

" Looks like it."

" Now we know where to find her if XD is here."

" Couldn't agree more."

Both Dream and George said in unison as the three watched four people chase each other after a powerful entity. This was definitely not something they had expected after being in Dream's pouch and be let out upon arrival. Definitely not.

" Should we....?"

" I don't think it's a good idea."

" GET BACK HERE GREEN SMILING BASTARD!

" LANGUAGE!"

" HOW ARE YOU SO FAST?!"

" JUST COME BACK HERE, GRANITE! THAT'S A-"

" COME HERE COWARD!"

" GRANITE!"

Yup. This was their daily routine now. And it was now everyone's problem, as the rest of the members just watched the chase unfold. Heck- even Tommy wamted to join at one point! Dream had to learn to make Granite stop going after XD. Even if it means using his pouch or going through codes and use commands.

" GRANITE!"

This was his life now.

[somerandomcryptid]

I bit of a demonstration of the morality clash and opinion clash between Quackity and Sam and Cryptid, also a show of Cryptid's repressed anger, or rather how they try to repress their anger to make sense

In both comic and writing form this time :>

(this takes place in the time of the kidnapping)

Written/expanded versions (cw: 2-3 times where Cryptid thinks about wanting to rip various of Q and Sam's organs out, it's not graphic though):

“So you know, being better to him might help you in the-” Cryptid is cut off from finishing their ramble about how Quackity and Sam’s cruelty is probably going to bite them in the ass by Quackity’s voice.

“He deserved everything we did to him.” They can feel their eye twitch at that assertion, they already are pissed off at just how fucking- calm. Calmed. Don't yell at them. You're trying to make a point God damnit.

“In your opinion he deserved it.” They correct, trying to not sound like they don't want to rip his vocal cords for being so damn stupid. Quackity just scoffs and rolls his eyes. Fuck you, you don't know shit-

“Kid, he’s not who you think he is.” Sam starts, his eyes that condescending gentleness still, they have to take a deep breath to not snap back at him, and another one to hold back to wants of ripping his eyes out. Those stupid gentle- “He’s not redeemable. He can’t get better.” Their nails dig into their skin as they grip their knee in an attempt to not do too much physical damage to themselves. They want to snap back loudly. They want to finally yell at them, maybe then they’d finally fucking listen. But it doesn't work that way. They know from experience.

“Who are you to decide who’s redeemable?” They mutter after a few moments of getting at least some grip of their emotions. Out of the corner of their eye they see Sam flinch. He hesitates, before responding.

“The Warden of Pandora’s Vault..”

“A warden keeps the prisoners, they're not judges. And the legal system is corrupt anyway.” They mumble the retort. Sam flinches again. They can feel the urge to break things in their fingers, they can tell it can't be calmed down while they're still around two of the most infuriating people they’ve ever met.

They push their feet a few moments later, as soon as their legs will allow. Turning away from the two men. They can hear Quackity push himself up to a sitting position.

“Where the fuck do you think you're going.” They fight the urge to groan at Quackity’s words. Not this.

“Somewhere where I won't rip anyone's organs out.” They respond, glancing at him just to glare.

“Kid, you can't leave our sight, it's not safe.” Sam reminds them. Oh right. They’re in a fucking hostage situation. God damnit.

-

You might not think Cryptid would be the type to have violent fantasies when angry, but they are, and for a squeamish person(which they are) they get quite graphic, they'd never act on them though, they just silently want to ripe you into tiny pieces sometimes! They're very stable I promise /s

They're also pretty shit at regulating themself when an emotion gets too much, they either shut down or do something destructive usually

Overall their emotions are very intense and they go from fine to very not fine pretty quickly more often than not

Usually the stress is just building inside them, but they mask until they're at the bottom of their "can deal with bullshit"

Anyway yeah that's about it for now :)
