So, as far as I can tell, after today all of the lovely Tripoiers are doing a complete 180. Now that he might come back with his memory all banged up, they’ve decided they no longer want qRoier to get kidnapped anymore! Which is awesome! For them! But I’m just here like… imagine the angst :D!!
Like imagine what would happen if the Federation takes qRoier and not only fumbles his memories, but completely wipes them. All the way back to when he first arrived on the island. He would’ve never experienced the Abueloier incident, Bobby and Tilin’s deaths, the taco incident, the betrayals, all of the friendships he’s made and has lost (kidnapped or no longer logs on). All the pain he’s experienced gone in an instant
Those who watch carefully will know how deeply all of this constantly affects qRoier. So just think of the emotional whiplash when the members of the island, who would be panicked about qRoiers wellbeing after the kidnapping, are seeing him being returned by the Federation… Happy? Like truly genuinely happy. Happier than the French have ever seen him. Happier than the the Brazilians have ever seen him. Hell, even some of the original members of the island have to do a double take because they’ve never realized how much qRoier’s mental state has declined since day 1
And not only that but like!! Would they try to get his memories back? Would they willingly try to reawaken the grief and pain he experienced so he can “be himself” again? Or would they let him start fresh?
I love qRoier with all my heart which means he gets the angst hammer! >:D (I’m so sorry! For the dump! I just like the way you analyze characters! And would appreciate your thoughts!!)
Now see the kicker is that q!Roier is a very good actor. He more or less behaves the exact same way he did before he started experiencing the Horrors, he just has a bit of a harder time openly trusting people. The only person who knows how sad he actually is rn is q!Bad, and that’s only because Roier had to tell him for the survey. He doesn’t care if the Feds know he’s sad, he’d probably go with them willingly if they asked to meet him alone. He’d scream and protest and go kicking and screaming if they actually tried doing something to him, but also?
The Feds love him. They always have, and even the current Cucurucho seems to have a bit of a soft spot for him. Even the ‘gods’ (read: the admins) will call down lightning on him if he asks, and they’ll revive him in dungeons he’s doing solo. They’ve been reviving him since week one without fail. The Feds allowed his grandfather- an “outsider”- onto the island and let him stay and they saved his life when q!Cellbit killed him because Roier was sad. The only things they’ve ever refused him are a gun and the return of Bobby, but even with Bobby they let him and Jaiden have more time to say goodbye than every other parent got combined. They pay special attention to his happiness- remember when Cellbit’s task for the day for them was to find out why Roier was sad and what would make him happy again? The entire point of the Quest for Bobby was for Roier to see how many friends he has because the Feds know he’s lonely! They’re just really bad at being a support system because they don’t understand the emotions going on.
They like him to the point that he’s actually questioned multiple times if he’s actually part of the Federation, and other people have asked the same, which definitely won’t ever come up again.
This is all to say: I don’t think they’d wipe his memories because he isn’t actually being a problem. Quackity was a problem. He was making other people sad, so he had to he dealt with. Meanwhile Roier is alone in his sadness, which isn’t optimal, but I think that they quite literally like him and his family too much to fuck with him on that level. They’ll punish him eventually, but their attempts to cheer him up so far have actually had some results. He isn’t trying to kill anyone anymore, and he’s happy enough with his family with Vegetta and Foolish and Leo (all the Federation’s favorites) and then with Jaiden (Cucurucho’s favorite) and then with Cellbit and Richarlyson (we all know how much the Feds love their favorite employee.) He’s domesticated (outside of his new bombing obsession), and that’s probably good enough for the Federation.
After all, the saddest people are oftentimes the happiest.

CHURCH BELLS RINGING, MUTED SINGING
I will drag quackitys past relationships into a conversation about TNT duo
CARRIES OUR EXUBERENCE AWAY
They're just older than they ever thought they'd be and tired leave them alone
OUR FRIENDS HAVE ALL BUT LEFT US/THEY DEPARTED MANY YEARS AGO/And They Won't COME BACK/THEY WON'T COME BACK NO MORE
This ties into the whole fact they believe everyone will leave them because EVERYONE HAS LEFT THEM it's not a fear of they're right
WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST
Remember how las navades isn't a real desert it's in a snow biome the whole city is literally built on fake foundations the whole base of his country is a farce dust→sand
LET OUR HEARTS RUN 'ROUND IN CIRCLES/WHILE WE FALL APART
Them having their separate breakdowns during this whole arc but coping with that by falling into the cyclical nature of their relationship
WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST
Just see above for this line it's the same every time
LET OUR MINDS RUN 'ROUND IN CIRCLES/WHILE WE FIGURE IT ALL OUT
See above
INSOLENT AND OUT OF CHARACTER
They've become more jaded a twisted version of the people they used to be more full of life able to actually love before but they're both broken in a way now that they can kind of still work if they squint
WE'VE CHANGED SO MUCH/I BARELY RECOGNISE OUR FORMATIVE LIVES
Like the line above started they're both no longer the people they used to be after all the death (they're own or others) and betrayal and all the other shit they're no longer the people they started the relationship as and that's its own brand of frightening
HIDDEN DEEP, DEEP, DEEP UNDERGROUND
Pogtopia we don't need to talk about this you get it
AND THEY WON'T COME BACK/THEY WON'T COME BACK NO MORE
This is both about how the people who have left them won't come back BUT ALSO they won't come back they'll never again be the people they where when they first entered the smp and that's ok but it also means their relationship will shift for better or worse
WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST
↑↑↑↑
LET OUR HEARTS RUN 'ROUND IN CIRCLES/WHILE WE FALL APART/WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST/LET OUR MINDS RUN 'ROUND IN CIRCLES/WHILE WE FIGURE IT ALL OUT
This is gonna repeat forever you get it moving on they're obsessed and need each other to get up in the morning
FEELING MOODY, DARK AND HEAVY
They're so sad
THERE'S NO FEELING IN MY LEFT ARM
Insert picture of Wilburs skin
RESONANCE IS FAR AWAY
They don't match perfectly but they try *sons*
TRY TO COMPLICATE MY THINKING
Wilbur has an issue of hiding his feelings behind speeches and overcomplicating his speech and he's super overthinking his relationship with quackity
AM I FALLING, AM I SINKING?
Oooooo mans spent 13 years without a body what's going on (also has no idea where his relationship with quackity is let alone where it's going)
POWDER IN MY FINGERNAILS
"I've forgotten everything I know about TNT" ← I say like a liar
AND THE BELT WRAPPED AROUND/MY SHRINKING WAIST IS HAVING TOUBLE/TRYIN' TO KEEP THE DAMN THINGS UP
He just came back from the dead give him a break he feels out of place in his body he didn't have one for over a decade
WANT TO WRITE A SINGLE LETTER/MAYBE THEN I'LL FEEL MUCH BETTER
Remember his apology arc? THAT
UNTIL THEN WE'LL FLOAT/WE'RE HUNGOVER, OH YEAH WE ARE/WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST/WE'RE HUNGOVER IN THE CITY OF DUST/SO LET OUR MINDS RUN 'ROUND IN CIRCLES/WHILE WE FIGURE IT ALL OUT/ALL OUT, MHMM
We've talked about this

𝑆𝑎𝑝𝑛𝑎𝑝𝑠 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑//𝑆𝑎𝑝𝑛𝑎𝑝 𝑝𝑡 4
Masterlist // child reader ML //
Tumblr media
Sapnap x reader !p !child reader
Pronouns used: none specified!
Warnings: swearing, mentions of death, casinos
➳➳➳➳➳┄┄※┄┄➳➳➳➳➳
𝐊𝐢𝐧𝗼𝐤𝗼 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝗼𝐰??
Quackity was telling you all of his plans
He rambled on for hours of his ideas for casinos and how he was going to marry Karl and sapnap
It sounded great
He had his whole plan set up! He even had Sam helping him with the building
But then he left
Just like everyone else
But that was fine! You were just with sapnap
Before Karl came running over rambling on about needed to move his library
He had a library?
“[Redacted] you need to stay close, please”
You looked at him weirdly
Who the fuck was [redacted]
“Karl my names Y/n you idiot” “flame..” “sorry”
He didn’t even notice it and then you had to spend the next couple days hauling over 100 books
“Oo hey what are these! The covers look really weird”
You had found his time travel books
Woops
That man raced over and in the kindest way possible, snatched it from your hands
“Don’t touch those, they are my special books”
You just shrugged and let him be, he freaks you out enough
So you all traveled to this area in the spruce forest and built a really ugly mushroom hut
But hey it’s fine! Foolish thankfully came around later that day and made everything better
So you stuck around
Maybe you needed this, this new start
Oh but prime knows that wouldnt last long
Karl started forgetting
At first it was simple things as just forgetting where he was or little stumbles with names
But eventually he was going away longer and longer
He started calling you by these strange names, some that sound Victorian and western and others that are unlike you
One day he didn’t call you by your name at all
You were hanging around the Sakura trees and the big yin Yang pond waiting for sapnap to come back with George
Then you saw Karl exit the library, running up to him for a hug
It’s been two months since you’ve seen him
You fucking hated it but you couldn’t help but consider him another parental figure
He loved it
But he just stood there as you wrapped your arms around him
Expecting the usual “[reda]- Y/n, I’ve missed you so much my sweet flame!”
But there was nothing just a sad one sided hug
“Hello? I’m sorry but do I know you?”
You were ready to cry
“I’m sorry, I uh must’ve mistaken you for the wrong person” “No that’s fine! Hugs are nice?”
So you left and ran into the library
Scouring throughout all of the books until you found them
The same 8 books you shrugged away
You read through all of them along with Karl’s other journals
You didn’t like going through his stuff especially, a whole invasion of privacy
The more you read the worse it got
What were you gonna tell Sapnap?
Who the hell is James, and [redacted]?
And why couldn’t he stop
It’s no use anymore
You were simply just forgotten
𝐋𝗼𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬
The closer you got to the large building, the sicker you got
Kinoko Kingdom was supposed to be your free pass
But somehow you always end up here
You called for Sam on the comms waiting for the beep
The inside looked great to say the least
“What are your past relationships with the prisoner?” “No answer.”
“Where are you currently resided?” “No answer”
“Do you believe the prisoner deserves his sentence?” “Maybe”
You put all your shit in the locker and followed him through all the safety checks
“I’m glad you didn’t bring anything with you”
You stood on the platform heart racing as the lava went down
It was like a ticking time bomb
The small squeaks and scratches of the hovering bridge
He just stared at you
That sick stupid mask was broken by tommy that day in the black stone room
So you had to look into his face
Lets just say he looks good in Orange
“Barrier up or down?” “Down”
He backed up into the corner as you stepped in
Smiling
Once the lava cascaded down your smile turned into a sick frown
“Hello” is that all he had to fucking say?
“Screw you. Fuck you. Damn you”
He just looked you a small chuckle escaping from his lips
“Those all mean the same thing.” “Well I’ve been living in cinnamon town for the past couple months, and I’m ready to fucking burn some buns”
Yeah he just laughed
“I’ve missed you Hot shot”
“You ruined our damn life!”
Someone went quiet
“If you didn’t have to have a petty little war, or criminalize children we could’ve been fine! It could’ve just been you, dad, me, and George.”
You were pissed, everyone just kept leaving you.
Tommy and Tubbo, Quackity, Karl, Dream, and hell even Wilbur
“You come and visit me, after not having seen me for months and you just yell? Not a hello or ‘how are you dream?’ ‘How’s prison dream’ ‘how can I help you get out of this damn place’ “
You just sat down ready to just walk out into the lava
“I’ve been stuck here for months! None of you even cared enough to visit me, hell even Tommy came around.”
You might have felt a little bad after leaving him
The prison was cold even tho lava was flowing right there
“Why would you leave the discs alone..” “Because I had to end it.”
What were you doing here
What were you planning on saying?
“So, what do you do in prison”
“I have a clock.”
You got up to go look at the pretty clock
Then threw it at his face
“Ow” “deal with it bitch”
The longer you stayed the worse the feeling in your stomach got
so you buzzed for Sam waving goodbye
“Wait.. Do they miss me?” “Can’t say, but I think this may be for the best.”
He wanted his best friends
But he just got the annoying teenager
Oh but that wouldn’t be the last
𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬
You got a letter in the mail one day
Who the hell uses letters??
You were shocked to see the address and the small post card
“Come around some time”-Quackity
Ans on the back it had the cords
Oh well what did you have to loose? Sapnap was focused on Karl
and well Karl didn’t even know you
So you set off
It took you a couple hours travel by horse to get to the desert area
The large sign blaring in the red text
You gotta admit the place looked beautiful
There was a giant dick and different shops
You were shocked to see this random un human like guy
“Hello, I am Charlie a totally human guy!”
Yeah totally not slime
“I’m uh, Y/n?” He reached out for a handshake sort of thing
“Dap me up!” “Another time Charlie”
Maybe when you had hand sanitizer
“Ohh so your Y/n! Mister Quackity talks about you all the time, come on in!”
You were skeptical but followed anyways
Stopping in your tracks when you saw Fundy
“Furry?” “Fire shit?”
You went over to give him a side hug, ruffling his fur
“What the hell are you doing here ginger boy!” “Oh you know, just escaping nightmares”
You were confused then just let him be
You walked to the entry way of the place
A beautiful pond with flowers and an arch
“Did what the place where Mr. Quackity was going to propose!”
Going to?
You shrugged it off following inside
You hated to admit it, but you were excited to see him
Yeah you really needed a parental figure in your life at the moment
So when you saw him, he immediately pick you up in a hug
You didn’t fail to notice his change in appearance
That beanie stayed the same tho
Thank god
“Hey hey! Let me show you around the place, we can also go for lunch and talk.”
The casino looked great to say the least
Loud music booming from the speakers, along with the live jazz band on the side
Slot machines were going off every minute
“Have a chip, something to remember this by”
He handed you a red poker chip
It was a cool one tho, in the middle has a blocky sort of smile
Creepy and dopey.. sick!
So you put it around a spare silver chain
“So how have you been kid? ‘Ts been a while hasn’t it.” “Could be better..”
You both walked around the city in silence, offering to go in the super model shop
“No” “why not” “keep walking”
On your way to lunch you had to squint at what you were seeing
“Oh my goodness you’re still alive?!” “You’re alive!?”
You and revivebur just stared at one another
“Yeah he came back after I died!” “you what now-“
You just stared at Tommy and back to Wilbur
Oh god those shrooms were messing with your head
You should’ve gotten out of there a while ago
Quackity came over placing his hands on your shoulders
“Do I have to execute you both? Get off my damn property”
“Sorry Q. Say, Y/n wanna join Lmanburg 2.0?”
You back away holding your hands up
“I denied that offer once, and I’ll do it again. Fucking zombie freaks”
You obviously muttered the last part
Why the fuck did dream revive those two shits??
When did Tommy even die??
Your visit here has just gotten weirder and weirder
𝐌𝗼𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬
Quackity got you away from the brits as quick as he could
So he brought you over to his office
“So kid, how’s your dad..”
Ah you expected this question
“How the fuck am I supposed to know. He’s living his life, Karl’s time traveling! Oh yeah did I mention he doesn’t even remember me.”
He looked at you with wide eyes
“So I’m not the only one they forgot..”
You slammed you hands on the fable dramatizing the situation
“How would you feel about moving here? I mean you could work for me in the casino!”
You thought about it for a second
You have two options
1. Live in shroom town with bubbles
2. Move to las Nevada’s with Quackity
You were sure Sapnap wouldn’t mind
I mean would he even care?
He hasn’t for the past couple months!
“You feel abandoned there, over here there are hundreds of people. You’ll have the time of your life”
You thought about it for a sec
“Alright hand me a contract”
So you signed
Making deals with the devil huh
Little did you know it would cost you your life
Devils little soul
➳➳➳➳➳┄┄※┄┄➳➳➳➳➳
and this is the finale! I will take requests for sapnaps child, and I’ll do some shit with Quackity and the casino and go in more depth if wanted!
As always request and ask anything! And ask if you want to be on a taglist (child reader or general)
For those on the taglist I don’t know if you wanted to be tagged for all child reader shit or just dreams child.. so please tell me :)

Whould dream be the type of person to when hes sad, having a panic attack -due to quackity's torture- or worried about techno wellbeing would he listen to techno's heart beat to know he safe, techno's safe and every things alright. (This can be with any form of techno human, brute, est...)
I think that right after leaving the prison he would often have panic attacks alone, far away from where people could watch him break down. He also doesn't trust people more than ever, so he tries to keep a distance from everyone. He's normally a person who would lick his wounds in private and doesn't let anyone near him even when he's clearly having a hard time with everything. He wants to get back to being 'normal' on his own without the help of others. Building connections... attachments... only would make him more vulnerable and he's done feeling defenseless.
He tries to keep his distance from Techno especially since the man has a soft spot in his heart and he doesn't want people to use that against him. No matter how hard is it not to crawl into Techno's arms and search for comfort, Dream needs to stay away now more than ever.
But remembering their time in prison causes him to let his walls fall around the man involuntarily. Months of building a routine and seeking comfort from Techno makes him crave the connection they had inside the prison. So after days of no sleep, with his body and mind exhausted, he would crawl into Techno's bad one night and cuddle with him.
Techno, who had waited for Dream to make the first move, doesn't say anything and just simply grumbles half-heartedly as he puts his arms around the shaking man in a silent show of comfort and companionship.
Dream puts his head on Techno's chest like he so often did in prison. The familiar sound of Techno's heart calms him down instantly and soon he falls asleep for what feels like the first time in three weeks.
After that Dream's behavior changes around Techno. He would go back to how they behaved inside the prison, with Dream trailing behind Techno like a lost puppy and Techno acting like an oversized guard dog.
Philza watches the duo with a soft smile and doesn't say anything. He's just happy that Dream finally seemed to be on the right track to let himself heal, so he simply snorts behind his cup as he watches Dream as the man hides under Techno's massive red cloak like a bat afraid of the sun.

Okay so I’m a fan of Dreamsmp and after watching the new Sad-ist animation, Hog Hunt, I can’t get this situation out of my mind.
Technoblade x reader
Dreamsmp reality.
Your hands shook as you stirred the soup in the pan. Sniffles were the only thing that could be heard, tears falling constantly. The man you loved was dead, you didn’t know how you could possibly go on now. You were staring at the wall for so long you didn’t realise the spoon in your hand had fallen flicking soup everywhere. Your eyes scrunched together and more tears fell as you let out whimpers. Loud sobs that reeked of sorrow.
“Stay here.” He said. His deep voice rumbling through him.
“No Techno, please..” he looked down at you with those big eyes and sigh. “Please don’t go.” You begged.
“I have to. If I don’t they could find you, hurt you. I couldn’t live with myself if anyone hurt you.” He placed both hands on either side of your head and brought his lips to your forehead. Your eyes closed letting the tears that had gathered in your eyes, fall.
“I love you.” You whimpered, clutching his shirt desperately hoping if you held it tighter he’d stay.
“And I, you.” He tilted your head up and kissed you deeply, lovingly. Quickly he left knowing if he took one more look at you he’d burn the world down so he could stay. He had to do this to keep you safe.
Techno fought them with every trick he knew. He was winning until, the man you knew as Quackity had Carl’s reigns in his hand and an axe.
“No Carl.” You had named the horse after the man who had once protected your life with his. Karl Jacobs, he was just a boy and your were just a girl when you met. He saved you from drowning, that was the first and last time you saw him but you wanted to honour him. So you named the injured horse you found Carl and you nursed him back to health with the help of Technoblade. You watched, helpless as Techno dropped his weapons and cloak. The four L’manburgerians ushered both the man and horse you loved into the forest.
You curled into yourself. Pulling your knees to your chest and putting your forehead forward. But a knock on the door made your head shoot up. Frowning you stood up and made your way to the door and opened it.
“Tommy.” He took in your miserable appearance.
“Where’s Techno?” He asked, a look of confusion on his face.
“Tommy.” You cried sadly stepping forward, he took you in his arms and hugged you as you weeped. He had been like a little brother to you. Your heart always broke a little when you thought about how he was exiled from his beloved country and hurt by Dream.
“He...they took him.” You wailed gripping his snow coat with everything you had. Something, anything to ground you. Technoblade was your anchor and now that he’s gone you just felt like you were floating out there, unsafe and alone.
“Darlin?” Your whole body tensed at the sound of his voice. Two hands made themselves known on your body, taking over Tommy’s gently hug and pulling you into a new, bone crushing one.
“Techno.” You whispered clinging to him. You didn’t even have to see his face. The smell of him, the sound of his voice was enough.
“It’s okay. I’m here.” He replied with a gentle tone. He held you with everything he had. Cradling your head with such care.
“Well this is awkward.” Tommy chuckled making you giggle into Techno’s chest.
“Give me a minute Tommy. I’ll be back.” Techno said to his nephew and pulled you up with him. Escorting you into your house and upstairs. He held you close to him, not letting go even as he sat both of you down on your shared bed.
“I thought I lost you. I was so scared.” You told him quietly.
“I made you a promise once didn’t I? Remember what that was?” He asked tilting your chin up to look at him.
“You’ll never leave me as long as you breath.” You remember it perfectly. It was the night you’d vowed to be with each other til death do you part.
“I love you more than words can explain.” He muttered taking your breath away with a searing kiss. Everything was there, love, lust, passion, care. That’s what you loved most about Techno. He didn’t even need to say he loved you for you to know that he did. He just needed to kiss you.

could you transcribe tommy's doomsday vod? sorry for asking and no pressure of course, but i saw you were open to requests
Hello! Thank you for the request, it is done!
Today is L'Manberg's birthday and its first anniversary. but it's also the day I finished transcribing tommy's doomsday vod - so let's all be sad today :)
Underneath the cut is the entirety of Tommy's Doomsday VOD "Tommy's Dream SMP is Obliterated by Technoblade" (1.14.25).
Conversations may have been cut in half if they make jokes, but I've included every single lore-related line that I could hear (there was a lot of TNT and shouting over each other sorry)
(If anyone has their own requests, feel free to send them in)
Without further ado and I hope it's useful to you:
Tommy's Dream SMP Is Obliterated by Technoblade
00:47
TOMMY: So, there’s things I need to do. How long do we have now? 40 minutes. Oh, there we go. I’ve got something I need to do. I’ve got a couple of solo things that we’d needed to do for a long time. And I want to- ehm, we’ve got to speak to Tubbo because if we’re gonna do this war, morally, we can’t do it alone.
TOMMY messages TUBBO
TOMMY, whispering: vc
TOMMY: I know, they’re coming at 8pm, alright?
TUBBO messages TOMMY
TUBBO, whispering: okay
TOMMY: So what we’ve gotta do- you know what, chat? I fucked up, I did, I did over these past few weeks. I’ve been in exile, it’s been the worst weeks of my entire life, but I don’t wanna think about anything other… we’ve gotta say sorry.
TOMMY messages TUBBO
TOMMY, whispering: meet at our spot
TOMMY: And I know that’s not the most TommyInnit-y thing to do off the bat, but I haven’t been doing the most TommyInnit-y things to do.
TUBBO: I see you.
TOMMY: But I will do now.
TUBBO: Hello?
TOMMY: Hey.
TUBBO: Hey.
TOMMY: Hey, ehm, you wanna sit down on the eh-
TUBBO: I would quite like to sit down on the bench.
TOMMY: It’s been- you’re well dressed.
TUBBO: Thank you, you’re looking good yourself.
TOMMY: Eh, it’s been eh- listen. Listen - oh you’ve taken it off - I know it’s been a, mhm, I know it’s been quite some time… I’m sorry. I know, I know the exile- I know you had to exile me, like I’m sorry-
TUBBO: I’m sorry also. We could have tried other routes, it was a bit of an extreme turn.
TOMMY: I just don’t want everything that happens now to be built on - stay here - to be built on the past. You know, I don’t…
TUBBO: Yeah
TOMMY: Tubbo, I- I fucked it. I did. And there’s no- we all make mistakes, but it was me. I-I was the one who chose to side with the violent anarchist who wanted to destroy the thing I would sacrifice my discs for, and I, you know, put our shit behind that.
TUBBO: It’s okay though.
TOMMY: And I’m sorry. But-
TUBBO: Aw.
TOMMY: I’m sorry. I haven’t been… I haven’t been myself, but, ehm, we will tonight, alright? ‘Cause we’ve got shit to do, my friend.
TUBBO: Ehm, well, I mean, we have to rally everyone, don’t we? We have to go to what- where did we decide to set everything up? Over at Eret’s place? Get supplies.
TUBBO: We do!
TOMMY: Get supplies.
TOMMY: Get supplies.
TUBBO: I have no idea when they’re gonna get here, but-
TOMMY: There’s something I gotta do first. I mean, people don’t- I gotta, I gotta do it.
TUBBO: Okay…
TOMMY: I-I… okay. You go to the people and start rallying, I’ll join you, I’ll, you know, take lead once I’m there.
TUBBO: Okay, I’ll gotta get everything sorted.
TOMMY: We’ve gotta be- it’s gotta be me and you, Tubbo, it’s gotta be me and you versus Dream.
TOMMY: We’ve gotta leave everything we’ve done over the past weeks to the past, alright?
TUBBO: Yeah, of course.
TOMMY: Just like it always has been. And we’ve gotta do that tonight, because if we don’t tonight… I mean, you’ve heard what they’re saying. We’ll lose everything.
TUBBO: Yeah…
TOMMY: We’ll lose everything.
TUBBO: I mean, I don’t even know what would happen if L’Manberg were to get destroyed.
TOMMY: Okay, here’s what you do: you go rally them. I have something I have to do-
TUBBO: Okay.
TOMMY: And no one really knows what I have to do, but you rally them.
TUBBO: I will rally, I will rally!
TOMMY: I’ll speak to you, eh-
TOMMY: You start a plan, and then I’ll come and help, alright?
TUBBO: Speak to you soon.
TOMMY: Speak to you soon.
5:30
TOMMY: Okay, everybody. That was the right thing to do.
TOMMY does a waterbucket MLG.
TOMMY: We’ve still got it.
TOMMY: There’s something I need to do, that I didn’t really speak to you all about. We’ve got quite a while now to go. Now, listen to me, chat- Quackity’s leaving, Fundy’s leaving, what are you on about? No, no, no! We focus now, alright? There’s too many words shouted at me, shit in my head, streaks that I’ve lost, but we’ve got to- there is not enough time to read everyone’s- Fundy’s, what, what? Alright, I’m not reading the chat now. Here’s what I’ve got to do. Okay, okay, you know, we’ll walk.
TOMMY: Does anyone remember, eh, last night? I know I messed up, but there was one thing that really stuck. ‘Cause you know Sssa- you know, Sapnap, ‘cause I was watching this old video in my recommended about how all of these wars started, alright? And all of it started with me and Sapnap. And you know, you know, yesterday I realised - we need him on our side, man. ‘Cause it started with him and me, me and him. And a while age, a few months ago now, pre-exile, we had a fight. And it ended with me- I don’t know if anyone remembers, but it ended with me letting go of his pet fish, Beckerson. But I’ve been thinking about it, we can’t afford- we can’t afford to not have Sapnap. ‘Cause it started with us, and you know what? It’s gonna end with us. So we’ve gotta- and it can’t end with him betraying me again, so we’ve got to get him on our side. And I let his fish loose a longass time ago.
TOMMY: I’m not sure if it’s- is that it? Do you think it’ll be here still? What type of fish was it? “Mars”, Mars, Beckerson, Mars- I don’t, it doesn’t mean anything to me.
8:32
TOMMY: Is it around here? Guys, what type of fish was it? Is it- I mean, it might just not be here.
9:09
TOMMY: If it is still here, that’d be a miracle, but… everyone, if we can do this now, then- tropical? That means nothing to me. Oh is that- what the fuck!
TOMMY finds MARS swimming by the shore.
Tumblr media
TOMMY: Oh, wow, wow, wow, holy shit, holy shit! Okay, go, go, go, go, go! Oh my- okay, wow, wow, wow, we found it, we found it- what the fuck! Did it not despawn? Okay, you know what, no, no, no. What the fuck? Okay, we can’t MLG with that waterbucket anymore. How?! Does it not despawn? Okay, where is Sapnap? What we’ve gotta do is we find Sapnap and get him on our side ‘cause it started with us; we’re ending with us!

SAPNAP: Hey
TOMMY: No, wait, this is too serious of an occasion, I can’t play the Able Sisters. Where are you, Sapnap?
SAPNAP: Eh, at the community house you blew up.
TOMMY: Oh. Forgot about that
SAPNAP: Yeah
TOMMY: I’m-
TOMMY: Hey, hey, I’m really- I didn’t blow it up, sorry, people just- you know what, I’ll just be like a trooper. I won’t keep saying I didn’t blow it up, I’ll just- listen to me.
SAPNAP: Hello
TOMMY: I know, ehm, I know you said you didn’t wanna team with us last night, Sapnap.
SAPNAP: Well, I’m just- I don’t know, I just don’t know who to help or if I should help anyone.
TOMMY: Listen, I know, I know, but I- what I want you to know, Sapnap, is that I know we’ve had quarrels. But there was this video in my recommended the other day, and it was detailing the entirety of the very first war on this server. And I realised all of it, all of it, started with me and you. And I know you killed Henry, and I know we had wars, and you fucked up so many times - but so did I. And here’s the thing, man, it doesn’t matter about the past, and it doesn’t matter about the future; it matters about right now. And right now, there is a plethora of supervillains literally going to destroy everything we’ve worked for. And I know, I know you have no reason to come back, but I know it started with us. And it started with us because I helped you, Sapnap. And I don’t stop, because I know I’ve fucked up, but I won’t stop, alright? And you don’t have to side with us, but, Sapnap, do you remember a while ago we had a little war, a little fight?
SAPNAP: I do remember.
TOMMY: Sapnap.
TOMMY: And it ended with you throwing away- what was it?
SAPNAP: Yeah?
TOMMY: I’m so sorry that you did that, and that I made you do that because it wasn’t right of me. And I shouldn’t- I shouldn’t take out any of the fucked up shit that’s happened to me out on other people, and I’m sorry.
SAPNAP: Alright.
TOMMY: But Sapnap- I got Mars back. And yeah, it’s the same Mars from where I- turns out they don’t despawn if they have a nametag on them!
SAPNAP: It’s Mars!
TOMMY: Turns out they don’t despawn if they have a nametag on them! I didn’t know that! But, but, Sapnap, please help us, please. Because it started with me and you, and it doesn’t have to end with me and you. And if we don’t do anything right now; tonight will be the end of L’Manberg. So, please, help us. We need you.
SAPNAP: Alright, Tommy, let’s do this.
TOMMY: Really?
SAPNAP: Yeah, let’s eh- let’s just kill them all! What, it’s just two people, right?
TOMMY: It’s just two people, right!
SAPNAP: It’s just two people, we can kill them!
TOMMY: They’ll be here in 30 minutes. Okay.
SAPNAP: We can kill them.
TOMMY: Okay, let’s go get basic stuff. Let’s- let me get on my armour now, it’s war time. Let’s get in a call.
SAPNAP: I’m putting Mars somewhere safe, I’m putting Mars somewhere safe.

TECHNOBLADE: I’m outside L’Manberg, boys, where you at!
TOMMY: There’s 25 more minutes, no you’re not!
TECHNOBLADE: Bro, you think I’m going to wait? You think I’m going to sit- you know what, Tommy? You know what, there is 24 minutes, I’m not there right now, I’m not - there’s no need to check. There’s no need to go to your base.
TOMMY: What the fuck-?
TECHNOBLADE: There’s 24 minutes left.
TOMMY: That’s a very strange and ominous thing to say.
TECHNOBLADE: You know what, you guys take your time, take your time.
TOMMY: What the fuck is this obsidian grid?
TECHNOBLADE: Take your time
TOMMY: Technoblade, wait, no, stop it now. Where are you?

TOMMY: Is that you?
PHILZA: That’s me, that’s me.

TOMMY: What the fuck? Wow, wow, wow, wow, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no! Time out! We have 30 more minutes, we have 30 more minutes until you got here!

TUBBO: The prepares are all like gone, they were sabotaged.
TUBBO: What, what, what, what?
TOMMY: What do you mean ‘sabotaged’? What does that mean?
TUBBO: There was literally nothing there, Tommy! There was just a crater.
TOMMY: Oh. Dream?
TUBBO: Tommy, what are you doing?
TOMMY falls to his death to escape possibly DREAM’s TNT.
JACK MANIFOLD: That was a really uneventful war

PUFFY: I didn’t take anything!
TOMMY: Okay, everyone; focus. Okay, here’s what we do! Listen to me if you can hear me! I repeat: focus the withers first, then fight Techno!
RANBOO: Come on. Come on!
TECHNOBLADE: Splash them with invis! They won’t know who’s who!
TUBBO: He’s come from the tunnel where I died! He’s not on our side, he’s gappling!

TECHNOBLADE: I don’t care about the discs, Tommy! I was upfront with you from the start! The government has to go!
TOMMY: You didn’t compromise! Technoblade, you are selfish!
TECHNOBLADE: Selfish? You used me from the start, Tommy! You’re wearing my helmet!
TOMMY: Technoblade, you said we betrayed you! You said we betrayed you! You said that we were the ones who betrayed you!
TECHNOBLADE: You betrayed me like 12 times!
TOMMY: Technoblade, look at me. Look at me right now. You said you hated governments, you said that we were the ones that betrayed you; but you’re the one who killed Tubbo when JSchlatt told you to! You’re the one who betrayed us! Out of all of this, Technoblade,
TECHNOBLADE: I was peer pressured! You betrayed me!
TOMMY: Listen to me!
TECHNOBLADE: You used me! You’ve never thought of me as a friend, Tommy, you’ve just used me from the start.
TOMMY: I have, Techno.
TECHNOBLADE: You just saw me as The Blade, that’s all I was to you. The Blade! A weapon! Well, guess what… I’m choosing what I’m fighting for now.
TECHNOBLADE fires rockets at TOMMY. Just before the second rocket hits, TUBBO jumps in front of him to protect him.
TECHNOBLADE: And I’m going to destroy the government, Tommy! You’ll all die! It’s gone! We’re chunk erroring this!
TOMMY: Techno. Techno. Techno. Look at me, look at me. Please. Don’t fight, Tubbo.
TECHNOBLADE: Is that really the fight- who keeps shooting me?
TOMMY: Techno, look at me! You’re the one who did this! The people- you were my friend, you were my friend! You were The Blade, you were our-
TECHNOBLADE: Tommy.
TECHNOBLADE: Who’s over there? Sapnap, we’re having a moment! Get out of here!
TOMMY: Listen to me! I thought friendship- Techno, for once in your life, listen to me! You were my friend!
TECHNOBLADE: I listened to you for weeks!
TOMMY: Just listen to me!
TECHNOBLADE: I helped you! And you went back to Tubbo, the guy that exiled you! He chose his country over you.
TOMMY: Techno, people are above the government! We- it doesn’t matter if we want a government-
32:57
TECHNOBLADE: I am a person!
TOMMY: You are, Technoblade! And so are we! You- the reason the discs were important is because they were stolen from me. Nothing was taken from you!
TECHNOBLADE: The discs aren’t people!
TOMMY: Nothing was taken from you here! You’re selfish! You destroy what people love for your own self gain. You’re selfish!
TECHNOBLADE: All of these problems are because of your government. Your government has caused all these issues! I believe in freedom, Tommy!
TOMMY: You don’t believe in- when you were peer pressured, that’s not freedom! That was you following what the government- that was the president telling you to-
TECHNOBLADE: Tommy, that was like four months ago!
TOMMY: It was, and you killed Tubbo! Don’t forget about the past right now! Tubbo, back up for me here! He killed you!
TUBBO: Yeah...
TECHNOBLADE: He’s president, he’s president! Get him out of here! He’s wearing your helmet!
TOMMY: And you killed him.
TECHNOBLADE: Yeah, ‘cause he’s the president!
TOMMY: But even when he wasn’t the president, you killed him as well.
TECHNOBLADE: Yeah, that’s true.
TOMMY: You’re as bad as the government, Technoblade. In fact, you know what, you’re worse.
TECHNOBLADE: I was stood there alone against a whole government, and you and Wilbur just sat there on the sidelines and watched. Did you step in? Did you step in? Were you guys the ones who stepped and said “Don’t worry, Technoblade, we know you’re in a high pressure situation, but we’ll fight the world for you, Technoblade!” No, you guys watched! You know what I did? Yesterday? When you were surrounded by like 30 people and the whole world was against you? I walked in, I was willing to fight all of them for you, Tommy. I would have been there.
TOMMY: Techno-
TECHNOBLADE: That is the difference between us.
TOMMY: We spent hours together, man.
TECHNOBLADE: Don’t speak to me of loyalty!
TOMMY: No, you were my friend, and you betrayed us!
TECHNOBLADE: You never thought of me as a friend!
TOMMY: And the thing about this government is that- it didn’t interfere with you!
TECHNOBLADE: Yes, it did!
TOMMY: You have your own freedom, just let people love what they love, man! You’re selfish, Techno.
TOMMY: The discs interfered with us, they were stolen by Dream! Why would you side with the maniac-?
TECHNOBLADE: They hunted me down! The whole butcher army! And they executed me! I tried being peaceful, Tommy, but the government made it clear-
TECHNOBLADE: I used to think like that, Tommy. You know what they did to me?
TOMMY: You didn’t have to do this.
TECHNOBLADE: I did! The government-
TOMMY: They executed you because you blew up the entire- you spawned withers just like you’ve done again! All you did is repeat history, but worse. You’re selfish.
TECHNOBLADE: You guys brought this upon yourselves. I was prepared to live peacefully in my cottage and be chill, and just farm-
TOMMY: Techno, you can’t live in a cottage after you blow up the government. That’s not how it works. Actions have consequences.
TECHNOBLADE: Actions do have consequences, Tommy. And these are the consequences! It’s over! I’m killing Quackity! He’s got actual armor.
QUACKITY: No, no, no. Why?
TECHNOBLADE: Get back here! Get back here!
35:34
TOMMY: Tubbo
TECHNOBLADE: Get back here! He’s got my armor
QUACKITY: No, I stole this, this is mine!
TECHNOBLADE: Get back here!
QUACKITY: Technoblade, Technoblade, we attacked you- goddamnit! We attacked you at your cottage because you did exactly this! You did this, you exploded L’Manberg!
TECHNOBLADE: I was willing to be peaceful!
TECHNOBLADE: I changed!
QUACKITY: It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter, you were part of the hitlist. Technoblade, you were meant to suffer the consequences for what you did. That’s what happened.
TOMMY: Everything.
TECHNOBLADE: This is the consequences for hunting me down!
TECHNOBLADE: Taken my punishment and left? You would have literally killed me! What do you mean left?
QUACKITY: That’s true, that’s very true!
TOMMY: Technoblade!
QUACKITY: Technoblade, listen, you had to. You had to. And it was for L’Manberg, and it was for the country.
TECHNOBLADE: Oh, I hate this, what is this-
TOMMY: You’ve become the tyrant.
TECHNOBLADE: The tyrant? Bruh, bruh.
TOMMY: You’ve become the tyrant.
TECHNOBLADE: I am one man, the world will be better. The world will be better without the government! Airstrike!
ERET: Oh my god.
TECHNOBLADE: Airstrike! It wouldn’t be a final boss if I didn’t have stages”
ERET: Woah!
PHILZA: Yeah! Yeah! Go!
TUBBO: I don’t…
TOMMY: Tubbo?
TECHNOBLADE: Why is the wither following me in the sky? It’s ruining my moment.
TUBBO: Yeah.
TOMMY: Tubbo?
TECHNOBLADE: Oh my god.
37:24
TOMMY: Tubbo! It’s gone!
TUBBO: Seems like history really is doomed to repeat itself.
TOMMY: The caravan… the caravan! The camarvan!
TUBBO: Oh man.
QUACKITY: Fellas, there’s still L’Mantree.
TOMMY: There’s still, there’s still the tree.
QUACKITY: The L’Mantree’s still alive.
TUBBO: The L’Mantree.
QUACKITY: Come on. Just-
TOMMY: As long as the tree’s alive. Yeah, yeah, get to the tree.
TUBBO: I’m going to the tree.
QUACKITY: Head to the tree. Where’s-
TOMMY: Wilbur! That was my last memory of Wilbur! Of the real Wilbur.
QUACKITY: Where’s the fucking tree?
TOMMY: The tree’s in the box.
QUACKITY: Where’s the goddamn-
TUBBO: The tree-yeah.
QUACKITY: Okay, where is it, where is it?
TOMMY: The tree-
TUBBO: Eh the tree is supposed to be here. Right here.
QUACKITY: Tommy. Tubbo.
TUBBO: The tree is meant to be here where I’m standing.
QUACKITY: It’s gone.
TUBBO: The tree is gone.
TOMMY: No. No, it’s not. No, it’s not!
QUACKITY: The tree is gone!
TOMMY: Wait-
TUBBO: It’s gone.
TOMMY rejoins the other VC.
PHIL: Where do you think-?
TOMMY: Where’s the tree?
PONK: No, please!
TOMMY: Where’s the tree?
PONK: Please!
TECHNOBLADE: Every time I see you, you have less armor.
PONK: No!
TECHNOBLADE: Guess who’s gently gliding towards you, Ponk!
TOMMY: Tubbo.
TOMMY: Technoblade, where’s- where’s the L’Mantree?
TECHNOBLADE: Bro, I don’t know what- I’m gonna be real with you, I don’t know what the L’Mantree is. No one ever told me about it.
TOMMY: Does any-
TECHNOBLADE: Dream said something about blowing up the L’Mantree, so - mhm.
FUNDY: It’s gone! It’s gone!
QUACKITY: It’s fucking gone!
TECHNOBLADE: I hate trees!
QUACKITY: It’s out, that’s it.
FUNDY: It’s all gone! Everything! Everything is gone!
ERET: The downfall.
TECHNOBLADE: This wither is so annoying- wait, I can just kill this wither. This wither sucks. Yeah! I have dogs! My dogs!
39:21
TOMMY: VC 2, Tubbo and Big Q.
TUBBO: Mhm.
QUACKITY: It’s gone.
TOMMY: Is it- Tubbo, Tubbo, take half of these. Is it really all-?
QUACKITY: Tommy. There’s no use, it’s gone. It’s gone.
TOMMY: No, it’s not- no, no, no, no.
TOMMY: This is the way I travelled with Wilbur. Walk from here on out, Tubbo. This is… it can’t be. It can’t be.
QUACKITY: L’Manberg no longer exists.
TOMMY: Tubbo. L’Manberg… it’s gone.
TUBBO: Yeah, this is definitely beyond the point of repair.
TOMMY: L’Manberg is...Tubbo….Tubbo.
TUBBO: Mhm… I am speechless.
TOMMY: Let’s just make a new bed out of this, just in case.
TUBBO: Good idea. Wait, actually, Tommy, there’s a bed just over here. I made a bed.
TOMMY: Oh, okay.
TUBBO: - before. I think, anyway.
TOMMY: I got three wool.
TUBBO: Yeah, that bed is almost definitely gone.
TOMMY: Let’s just grab some…
TUBBO: Yeah, it’s definitely…
TOMMY: Why did Wilbur… Tubbo, Tubbo, set your spawn.
TUBBO: I can’t actually run anymore. That’s fine.
TOMMY: Hey.
TUBBO: Hey.
TUBBO: Yeah, this is… this was planned.
TOMMY: It’s for real.

TOMMY: You bastard.
DREAM: Tommy. Look, in all destruction there’s a new beginning.
TOMMY: You did this! To all of us, not just to me, but to everyone here.
DREAM: Beautiful. You know, the unfinished symphony, right?
TOMMY: Yeah… why?
DREAM: The server will be at peace now.
TOMMY: Why, Dream? Couldn’t you just, couldn’t you just have burned the discs? Couldn’t you just have done it… to me? Why did you have to…
DREAM: This is much more fun.
TOMMY: You’re a monster.
DREAM: Okay. Well, I think I’m gonna go far from here. For a little while, just to avoid the wave of frustration that I’m sure you’ll have.
TOMMY: This is too far, you’ve crossed- you know you’re a monster. You’ve crossed the line. This is everyone-
DREAM: Tommy, I’m not done with you, okay? Yeah, our story’s not over, L’Manberg’s story is over, but, you know, our story’s not over. I have your discs, I’m sure I’ll see you soon, but-
TOMMY: You’re right. Listen to me, our story’s not over-
DREAM: You’re right.
TOMMY: -but it will be. You know what, Dream? It will be soon.
DREAM: I don’t think our story will ever be over, Tommy.
TOMMY: Oh, I think it will be.
DREAM: I think that you’re just too fun. I don’t think it’ll be over. But I’ll see you soon. This was a good time.

TOMMY: Where’s Ghostbur?
GHOSTBUR: Hi guys! Ehm, I- what’s going on around here?
TOMMY: Turn these off, Big Q, turn these off.
QUACKITY: Jesus Christ, you scared me.
GHOSTBUR: I just- I came to see my sewer. I was having a little walk, and I came to my sewer, and it’s just a big hole. What’s happened- is- we- hey, you guys are all walking along the big obsidian thing!
QUACKITY: We’re… oh my god.
TOMMY: Ghostbur… it’s over.
GHOSTBUR: What’s over? I just started my stream.
QUACKITY: He keeps going- break em, break em, break em, he keeps going- oh my god.
TOMMY: Ghostbur, it’s over.
GHOSTBUR: No, don’t talk like that-
GHOSTBUR: You mean L’Manberg?
TOMMY: Tubbo!
GHOSTBUR: It’s been like this before! This is-
TUBBO: It has not been like this before.
GHOSTBUR: It has!
TOMMY: Wilbur, Wilbur. We lost.
GHOSTBUR: I didn’t even know we were fighting.
TUBBO: Mhm.
QUACKITY: We were. Your L’Manberg is gone.
TOMMY: Our L’Manberg.
QUACKITY: Yeah, our L’Manberg.
TOMMY: Just turn these off.
QUACKITY: Yeah.
GHOSTBUR: Wait, this was Philza? Phil was looking after friend. Wait…
TUBBO: No, there’s no way that friend survived.
TOMMY: Tubbo, where are you?
TUBBO: Over here.
TOMMY: Listen to me. L’Manberg… we lost, Tubbo. But-
QUACKITY: Oh fuck.
TOMMY: But this is- but remember this. Please, Tubbo.
TUBBO: Mhm.
TOMMY: Do you wanna know why all of- we’ve gotta end it, Tubbo.
GHOSTBUR: End?
TUBBO: How do you suggest we do that?
GHOSTBUR: Friend…
TOMMY: We’re gonna do the last thing there is to do. We have to, now. Before we lose everything.
TOMMY hits his desk hard twice.
GHOSTBUR: Where’s friend?
TOMMY: We’ve got to.
GHOSTBUR: Phil?
TUBBO: What are you hitting?
TOMMY: Phil.
TUBBO: Yeah, Phil.
GHOSTBUR: I gave friend to Phil to look after, and Dream, Dream found me friend. And Technoblade, he was- we were- he said we were friends.
TOMMY: Technoblade… here’s the thing, Wilbur.
GHOSTBUR: See, people wouldn’t lie about that, would they?
TOMMY: Wilbur, the problem with Technoblade-
GHOSTBUR: Why is it- why is still-? That was my blue, that was my blue!
TOMMY: The problem with Technoblade, Wilbur, is that he was our friend all along. And here’s the thing that you gotta understand; we were never his friend. And so to him, this was all just an act of politics, it was all just an act of clout and a social ladder. But to us, and I think this has always been - and you won’t remember, Tubbo you will, Big Q, this has just been a friendship. But to Technoblade, this was a ladder, and Technoblade’s climbed to the tippity top. Do you wanna know the only way you can go? On a ladder?
GHOSTBUR: I didn’t think you were gonna say that one.
GHOSTBUR: Side to side?
TOMMY, laughing: I’m so sorry, Ghostbur.
TUBBO: You can go up.
TOMMY: No, no, once you reach the top of the ladder, Tubbo, you can only go down.
GHOSTBUR: Side to side.
TOMMY: You could go side to side, but really there would be no point.
TUBBO: The top of the ladder-
TOMMY: The ladder’s incredibly thin, social ladders are actually very thin. It’s quite renown. I’ve read books.
GHOSTBUR: You could go side to side, but then you would also fall off the ladder.
TOMMY: You would fall off the ladder, and then you’d split your neck.
GHOSTBUR: Maybe you split your neck, and you might bleed and die.
QUACKITY: That’s true. That’s what ladders do.
GHOSTBUR: It’s Fundy, and Technoblade.
TOMMY: Fundy, don’t- listen, you know what? We’re not L’Manberg anymore, but we’re still together, and I need you to listen… although-
QUACKITY: Fellas.
GHOSTBUR: Where’s friend?
TUBBO: I suppose.
GHOSTBUR: Where’s friend?
QUACKITY: Just to pay our vice.
TOMMY: One last time.
QUACKITY: Alright.
GHOSTBUR: It’s like Hamilton.
TOMMY: Just like Hamilton.
TUBBO: Just like Hamilton.
QUACKITY: I don’t know what Hamilton is, but yeah, just like Hamilton. Alright, fellas.
TOMMY: Ghostbur?
GHOSTBUR: Yeah?
QUACKITY: Sing with me.
TOMMY: You know the anthem better than anyone else.
L’Manberg Anthem
I heard there was a special place
Where men could go and emancipate
The brutality
And tyranny
Of their rulers
Well, this place is real
You needn’t fret
With Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, Fuck Eret
A very big and not blown up L’Manburg
My L’Manburg
My L’Manburg
My L’Manburg
My L’Manburg
For freedom and for liberty
Our nation sought to build on these
A victory for all under our freedom
Well the darkness came and then it went
We built a home and watched it sink
And from the rubble
Emerged my great
L’Manburg
My L’manburg
My L’manburg
My L’manburg
My L’manburg
With bloodied hands
And weakened knees
Our peoplе rose like
The phoеnix
Our empty fields and canals ‘round
L’Mantree
With sweat and tears we armed our ranks
We laid foundations in our land
And from every lips for
Here up to forever
We sing L’Manburg
We sing L’Manburg
We sing L’Manburg
We sing L’Manburg
54:44
GHOSTBUR: The L’Mantree’s gone.
TOMMY: It’s all gone.
TUBBO: Yes, it is.
QUACKITY: Yes, it is. My L’Manberg-
TOMMY: Our L’Manberg.
QUACKITY: Our L’Manberg, that’s right.
GHOSTBUR: I’ve been reading- I was reading the history books, Quackity.
QUACKITY: Yeah.
GHOSTBUR: And do you think if Alivebur and you hadn’t gone head to head, this wouldn’t have happened?
QUACKITY: It would have happened, Wilbur. It would have happened, one way or another; this result was inevitable. You see, when I ran for president I saw a one-party system that wasn’t democratic at all, and one way or another; all of this would have happened. What’s important to keep in mind is that all of that is behind us, and all we need to look forward to is the future. If you think about it, Tommy, now all you have in your sights is Dream
TOMMY: You’re right, Big Q, you’re right, but I think-
QUACKITY: He cannot threaten our country anymore because he’s destroyed it. Very unfortunately, but it’s gone.
TOMMY: The thing that upsets me the most is that all this time, Technoblade told me I was betraying him, and you know what; I did. But he was our friend, we spent hours with him, building, taking people hostage, and just-
GHOSTBUR: Every book is gone.
TOMMY: He betrayed us, and he-
GHOSTBUR: I need to go and talk to Phil.
TOMMY: Okay. We were never really his friend, were we?
TECHNOBLADE shoots TUBBO and kills him using [Rocket Launcher].
TOMMY: He’s a monster.
QUACKITY: Yeah.
TOMMY: And he- but he-
QUACKITY: Tommy. Trust nobody. Trust nobody, Tommy, okay?
TOMMY: The thing is-
QUACKITY: Except for Tubbo. Trust nobody.
TOMMY: Yeah.
QUACKITY: Okay.
TOMMY: You’re right. He- people- the discs aren’t people. The discs were stolen from me, Big Q. They were mine, and they were stolen.
JACK MANIFOLD messages TECHNOBLADE
JACK MANIFOLD, messaging: you’ve made an enemy of me technoblade
JACK MANIFOLD, messaging: live in fear
TECHNOBLADE, messaging: i still have tnt
TECHNOBLADE, messaging: your house is right there
TOMMY: L’Manberg isn’t anyone’s, L’Manberg was its own; and me chasing the discs for which I put so much- I fucked up so bad, but they were mine. L’Manberg was ours, L’Manberg was people’s. It was ours. The problem with Techno is that he will never compromise. He will never ever let anyone else have what they want because unless it aligns with exactly what he wants; then we’ve betrayed him. It’s all gone, it’s all gone.
QUACKITY: Let this be a lesson, Tommy. Let it be a lesson, and just finish it off. Finish it off, Tommy.
TOMMY: We can’t let him win.
TOMMY: What do you mean?
QUACKITY: Yeah, let him win, Tommy. And we’re not gonna let him win. No matter how much it takes, how much fighting, guess what?
TOMMY: What I feared losing the most, I can still get back. You’re right.
TOMMY: What?
QUACKITY: Maybe use your discs as leverage, Tommy, but remember; you’re going after a man for what he’s done. Okay? You’re not going after a man for what he took from you, but for what he’s done. You said it yourself; it’s our L’Manberg. Use the discs as an excuse, Tommy, but-
TOMMY: He can’t pay for this.
QUACKITY: But go after Dream for means of justice, not the discs, okay?
TOMMY: You’re right. It’s just- he’s selfish, Big Q! Technoblade, he didn’t- he could have just, he didn’t have- my shit was stolen from me! He could have just let us do our government and let him not have government, he could have just- it’s just, he’s a selfish, selfish bastard.
QUACKITY: That’s true.
TOMMY: But… that’s behind us now. And, although Technoblade… might have been terrible-
GHOSTBUR: I take it back, Tommy. Tommy, I take it back.
TOMMY: Dream was the worst. What do you take back, Wilbur?
GHOSTBUR: I’m feeling- I’m burning in the rain right now, and I just… Tommy, I want you to bring me back to life.
TOMMY: What?
TOMMY is struck by lightning.
1:01:00
GHOSTBUR: Tommy
GHOSTBUR: Okay, I need to come see you.
TOMMY: Yeah?
TOMMY: I don’t know what Fundy’s deal was tonight. You know what, you’re right, Big Q. From now on, trust no one.
GHOSTBUR: I’m here. Have some blue, calm yourself, calm yourself.
TOMMY: Oh I need calm.
GHOSTBUR: Please, calm yourselves, calm yourselves.
TUBBO: Thank god Jack Manifold’s here, Jesus, what would we do without him?
JACK MANIFOLD: I just want to help out, guys.
TOMMY: What will we do without him and his silence?
QUACKITY: Does anyone have food?
GHOSTBUR: Tommy, I know- I know, I know how I said that I didn’t wanna be brought back to life because that would mean me, as Ghostbur, would stop existing. But I want you to bring me back to life.
TOMMY: Hey Wilbur
TOMMY: Really?
GHOSTBUR: And I know who can do it.
TOMMY: Well, you know what, Wilbur? Here’s what we do. Here’s what we do now, because there is- there are some last things, there is something we can do. ‘Cause we lost today. We lost L’Manberg, but we did not lose what we stand for. And although you won’t remember this-
TOMMY: Who?
GHOSTBUR: I lost friend.
TOMMY: Tubbo. I don’t know when, but soon - Dream said he’s gonna far away, away. This is what we do; the next few nights or however long we can over the next week or two, we prepare everything. Everything we’ve got because, Tubbo, this war - L’Manberg was forged - every war on this server, the conflicts that Dream started, was started with me and you. And you know what, Tubbo? It’s gonna end with me and you.
TUBBO: Okay.
TOMMY: And it has been for a long time,
GHOSTBUR: Can I have some blue?
TOMMY: I’ve only got six left.
GHOSTBUR: Just one, I just need one. Thank you.
TOMMY: But we’re gonna take him out. You hear me? Come with me, everyone.
1:04:46
TOMMY: Oh my god, shut up. Look.
GHOSTBUR: Goodbye friend.
GHOSTBUR: What?
TOMMY: Be careful, guys, there’s holes in the bridge.
GHOSTBUR: Together we as friends can take on any foe on the bridge.
QUACKITY: Yeah, I guess.
GHOSTBUR falls.
QUACKITY: Oh well, he’s-
1:05:29
TOMMY: Tubbo, this is the disc I listened to in exile. Where are you, Wilbur?
GHOSTBUR: I’m coming
TOMMY: Ah. Sorry.
TOMMY: Why are you coming?
GHOSTBUR: Here I come. Are you at your jukebox spot?
TOMMY: Yeah, I am.
GHOSTBUR: Okay. Hi!
TOMMY: Hi. Sit down.
GHOSTBUR: My skin is really hurting in this rain- oh! It’s not raining here
TOMMY: That is so weird- oh, when did that- I haven’t been here for so long.
1:06:39
TOMMY: Guys, is George asleep right now?
TUBBO: Yeah, yeah
QUACKITY: He fucking is! Argh! - Sorry. It brought me flashbacks, I’m sorry.
TOMMY: It doesn’t end here.
TOMMY plays the disc “chirp”.
GHOSTBUR: Chirp.
TUBBO: I like this version.
JACK MANIFOLD: I like this one.
TOMMY: Wow.
1:08:28
TOMMY: Everyone. Take your blue, Wilbur. I’ll ehm-
GHOSTBUR: I’ll leave.
TOMMY: I’ll see you ehm- we gotta fucking prepare.
TOMMY: I’ll see you all soon, okay? Tubbo?
TUBBO: Okay.
QUACKITY: Tommy.
TOMMY: Big Q. Yeah?
GHOSTBUR: Hello!
QUACKITY: Remember just one thing.
GHOSTBUR: Tommy! Do you remember the first time- oh, sorry, Quackity.
QUACKITY: Yeah. Tommy, you’re going after Dream and Dream has a lot of people on his side, so trust nobody, okay? That’s all I’m gonna tell you.
TOMMY: Yeah. What was that, Wilbur?
GHOSTBUR: Do you remember the first thing that I ever said to you, Tommy?
TOMMY: What?
GHOSTBUR: I came up to you, you were right here, and I came up to you and went “Hello, I’m Ghostbur!”.
TOMMY: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
GHOSTBUR: Hey! Goodbye, I’m Ghostbur!
TOMMY: Goodbye, Ghostbur.
GHOSTBUR: Bye, bye!
TOMMY: Goodbye everyone.
1:10:26
TOMMY: But listen to me, we’re going to get back the discs. And then I’m gonna fucking kill Dream.

i think that although the theories/aus of puffy's son dream and wil's brother dream are interesting to think about, especially the implications, the (probably) canon statement that he really has no family to me hits the hardest. because it's just dream, you know. his friends hate him, he has none (p relatable), but i can't really imagine,, both not having friends and not having a family. that's kind of what keeps a lot of us sane and okay ( - quill anon (same anon from the c!tubbo c!wil ask) )
ouch quill anon ,, this ask Hurt. it’s true - usually, it’s our family and friends that keep us going, that are the ones that we fight for and live for and love for. c!dream’s “family” was his reasoning behind ,, a lot of the stuff he did, good or bad, and even now you can hear his desperation in getting someone, anyone to visit sometimes, in wanting to know how people are doing outside the cell. 
at the same time, he’s a character very much defined by his solitude, by his isolation, by all of the time he has spent,, alone. by the alliances that had been broken, betrayed, forgotten. by how- at the end of the day - he sits for hours on end in an obsidian box with nothing but his thoughts to accompany him. it’s awfully ,, sad, despite everything he’s done. through it all, he’s alone. he survives the horrors of the vault (until this current arc) alone. nobody’s there to hear his thoughts. nobody knows his mindset, or feelings, or wants, or anything that really makes him human. for someone so driven by people, he spends so much time completely isolated - and it’s. honestly really, really tragic. 
anyway, this is a sad little drabble set pre-roommates arc abt c!dream in the prison, alone, bc he makes me Sad.

The blank book in his hand stares at him stubbornly, the stark white of the untouched pages nearly burning his eyes, used to the dark walls and floor of the cell. Dream’s hand shakes around his quill, ink splotches marring the pages from where his too-unsteady hand had let the nib brush against the paper and left freckles of black spots behind. He pulls his thumb back from the bottom left corner, hissing slightly when it leaves a dull red fingerprint behind, a smudge of half-dried blood further dirtying the paper.
He’d pulled out one of the books for some reason, probably on a whim, letting his hands run over the leather spine and along the thread of the binding absentmindedly after Quackity left for the day. He hadn’t touched them in a while - he liked to save them, at the beginning, just in case visitors came and he wanted to thank them or if he needed to communicate (though he hadn’t gone silent since Sapnap left, ‘cause Sapnap wanted him to talk and he doesn’t know why he still clings to that visit when it’s been months and he still hasn’t come back, but he promised that if Dream behaved he’d visit again and - it’s stupid to hope, but Dream can’t give up, not yet) and then he kept them because he would need them for the revive book and the Warden would confiscate them, anyway, so it was better not to get attached. Regardless, he’d stubbornly ignored the chest of books for a long time, let the remain closed and the clasp go unlatched as he wasted his days away watching the walls drip bright purple and pretend he didn’t miss his clock.
Until now.
He runs his fingers along the surface of the paper again, ignoring the red and black smudges they leave in their wakes, ruining the previously unblemished pages. The paper is smooth, bearing a very slight grain, and smells clean and woody - this book must’ve been a newer one the Warden replaced into the chest. He’d counted the pages a few times, front and back - there are fifty sheets, so a hundred pages to use as he sees fit, completely empty and untouched. The quill shakes in his hand, the tip pressed against the paper, unmoving.
What is there to write?
He’s forgotten why he pulled out the book in the first place, already - his head keeps getting fuzzier, memory impossibly fragmented and seemingly worsening with every passing day. He knows he had a reason because he’d been very determined about it, had spent what must have been hours dragging himself along the obsidian floor with a broken shinbone jutting out of his right leg and a dislocated left shoulder that he’d taken an extra few minutes to jam back in place by pressing it against the floor. Something had come into his head, probably in the middle of Quackity’s daily session, and he’d found himself desperate to write it down before he forgot despite the throbbing of his head and the pain in his chest making it impossible to take a full breath.
(He must have talked back, or acted defiant, or something - he doesn’t remember much besides the look Quackity had given him after, dark and angry and tight with rage. There had been a hand tangled in his hair, a blade jammed right up against his throat, curses and screams in his ears dying into a singular ringing echo as the blade was pushed deeper and deeper. It wasn’t until a few minutes later when Quackity realized that he’d gone too deep and that Dream was choking on his own blood - his memories shatter, and there’s nothing but more screaming, red and black and blood everywhere, warm against his skin, the sweet-sour taste of glistening melon on his tongue, a healing pot desperately stitching his skin together and bringing him back from the darkness that he’d swelled in the corners of his vision - mostly, he remembers everything going cold and numb and he’d realized, halfway into the Void, that he would never leave the Vault alive.)
His hands tighten on the book as he breathes a shallow, harsh breath through his teeth, because - oh. Oh. He looks back at the trembling white plume in his hand, at his shaking fingers clenched tightly near the end, and he swallows the thick, heavy feeling in his throat. Quackity had- and he had- and then-
Right.
He forces air into his lungs steadily, counting the seconds off in his head. He’d learned how to stave off panic attacks on his own ages ago, and the knowledge had come to full use in the Vault - the struggle to stay calm seems harder with every passing day, but he can’t exactly risk himself passing out every three seconds when he’s inevitably set off by the smell of blood or a twinge of pain or any of the million other triggers crammed into this tiny box that’s been the source of all of his torment for months. He keeps up the slow, steady breathing for another few minutes, just enough time to pull back the darkness creeping in from the edges of his vision, and looks back down at the blank paper.
It stares back at him, almost judgmental of his hesitancy. You opened me up, it seems to challenge him, why aren’t you writing? The quill still shakes in his hand. He doesn’t know if it’ll ever stop shaking again.
Dear, he begins, almost in defiance, proof that he Is Going To Write Something, thank you very much, he isn’t just going to chicken out and leave it a blank book (like you have before?) but the quill tip digs into the paper as he grinds to a sudden halt, the empty space next to the first word nearly taunting. He feels his mouth dry, heat rising behind his eyes - the book, silent and blank as ever, stays imprinted in his vision even as he squeezes them shut.
Dear, what a stupid, sentimental way to start a letter. He can’t even fool himself into thinking of it as a business venture, turn it into an elaborate plan to escape and address it to either Techno or Wilbur (who would never receive his message anyway), not without admitting his regard for the two edged past his pretense of professional interested and owed favors. He can hardly write it to Ranboo, not without compromising their already fragile alliance (if it even exists, anymore. The enderman hybrid had yet to visit for months - and sure, it was probably for the best, who knows how Quackity would react if he found out about the nature of their relationship, but that didn’t make it sting any less.)
In the back of his minds, name rise from where he’d kept them carefully buried despite his best efforts. Punz. Bad. Puffy. Sapnap. George. He shakes his head, trying to wave away them from his thoughts, but the effort is as fruitless as it has always been - he stares at the first word angrily, like it has betrayed him, and receives no response. The words are messy, shaking, his script overly looping and rounded like a child’s. He hates it, hates how cheery it looks, even on the bloodstained page - it looks like the beginning of a birthday card, or a perhaps a particularly dedicated Halloween party invite. Like he’s some sort of lovesick teen, writing letters to crushes that would never pay him a second glance. He laughed a little, without any real humor - minus the romance, that description isn’t all that far off.
Because- well. His memories might be shot to all hell, but he doubts he’ll ever forget the hatred on Sapnap’s face, a loaded crossbow pointed between his eyes, George’s expression set in disinterested apathy - “George, you can give the word.” Bad’s face, twisted in pity and resignation, voice carefully measured as he looks away and gestures at the cell, “you did do some pretty bad stuff to get put in here though, Dream,” the hidden “you deserve it” that he’d heard, just as clearly behind the words. Punz - “you should’ve paid me more” - jaw set stiffly as people poured through the portal, watching, wordless, as Dream bled out twice on that blackstone floor. Puffy, poorly hidden disgust flickering over her face as she looks away from him being dragged away in chains, sword held steady in her hands. Sapnap, that same fiercely determined expression on his face so familiar that thinking of it aches, even now, “it’s gonna be me, who takes your final life.” Months and months and months and months, alone.
Always, always, alone.
The page makes a quiet, complaining groan under his pen - he looks down to see it torn under the tip of his quill, the word completely unreadable under line after line of black ink scratched over it, each one deeper than the last. He stares blankly at it for a few minutes longer, the brief flash of anger that had seared through his body settling into numbness once more.
To whoever may find this: he scratches the words on the page slowly, keeping his print deliberately blocky and neat. The heavy feeling in his throat returns, stronger than ever, and he ignores it as he pushes on.
He pauses for a moment, wondering what more to write. Apologies? Accusations? He could detail every second that he remembers from Quackity’s visits, describe every inch of pain that had been pulled from his aching lungs, every line etched into his skin. He could apologize for every act of cruelty that had ever been caused by his hands, every bridge he’d ever torched to light the path to a better future. He could explain - everything, every tortured thought that had circled his head for hours on end and every night that had passed without any sleep and every time he’d pushed on without complaint or hesitancy because it would be worth it, even if he was the only one who saw it, it would be worth it because he’d sacrifice too much for it to be anything but. He could- he could, he could write and write until he’d filled every page of every book back and front, and would they even believe him? Would it even matter?
Goodbye, he writes at last. It feels strangely final. (He won’t be leaving this Vault alive. He knows this as surely as he knows that he will leave this world uncared for, unheard. As surely as he knows that he’ll always be alone.) With a quick snap of magic following the signing of his name, the book is preserved, shining slightly with a purple glow as he sets it back down in the chest. He looks around, the cell once again stiflingly quiet without the book to busy him, Dream once again completely alone as he’s been for - well.
(Pandas, eyebrows drawn in uncharacteristic seriousness from the usually painfully spirited eight-year-old, pinkie raised between the two of them, solemnity belied by the gap in his front teeth poking out between his lips.
“We’ll be together forever,” he whispered with the volume control you’d expect from a kid that age, which is to say that it wasn’t much of a whisper at all, but Dream, newly ten years old, remembers being particularly moved by the gesture anyway, moving to hesitantly hook his own pinkie in the other’s.
“And we’ll never be alone ever again,” he’d replied, voice faraway with a disbelieving sort of awe.”
“Never,” Pandas’ voice had been just as firm as his first statement, twisting his wrist to tighten the grip of their linked fingers further. “Best friends for ever and ever, right?”
“For ever and ever.”)
“For ever and ever,” he whispers, eyes fluttering shut as he slumps down against the floor, and only the lava bubbles in reply.

Protect You-Technoblade
#349 from this prompt list. Check out my masterlist here!
This is a Technoblade x gn!reader in the dreamsmp! I hope you enjoy!
Side note, this will not have the correct dialogue that happened in canon at all lol. I have a really hard time writing things like that, so most of the dialogue will be my own. 
Y/N tries to warn their boyfriend about the Butcher Army. The prideful man that he ignores their attempts of getting him to flee. By the time he realizes they were right, it’s too late.
Y/N’s POV
“Techno! I shouted, pounding on the front door of my boyfriend’s ‘retirement’ home. I had been hanging out at Phil’s house when Tubbo, Fundy, Ranboo, and Quackity lowkey burst down his door demanding to know where Techno was. Phil, wanting to keep his son safe, refused to tell them. It didn’t matter though, they found the compass that Techno gave his father so that he could always find Techno’s house. The older man was put under house arrest for refusing to help, meaning that he couldn’t go warn his son. Luckily, I was in the backroom when they were questioning Phil, they didn’t even know I was there. So as soon as they were out the door, I said goodbye to Phil and rushed outside, climbed on my horse, and galloped as fast as I could to Techno’s house to warn him. 
“Techno! Open up!” I shouted, pretty panicked about what was going to happen to the man. The front door opened to reveal my very confused boyfriend. “Y/N? What’s going on?” He questioned. “We have to go” I rushed out, “You’re being hunted by Tubbo, Fundy, Quackity, and Ranboo. They’re calling themselves the Butcher Army. They have Phil’s compass that they stole and they’re on their way right now to take you to L’Manberg, what for? I don’t know. We have to leave!” Techno grabbed my shoulders forcing me to focus on him, “Y/N, take some deep breaths and calm down. Now I want you to think about who you’re talking to. I’m Technoblade. I’m the Blood God. I think I can handle a couple of wimpy kids coming to drag me many many blocks away. I think I’ll be fine.” His words frustrated me. Why wasn’t he taking this seriously. I wasn’t able to respond to his prideful words because they arrived. 
“Technoblade!” Tubbo yelled as the four charged forward. Techno pushed me slightly behind him and descended the stairs to greet the four boys. “Gentleman!” He greeted loudly, “To what do I owe the pleasure.” The Army glared at Techno, their eyes watching his every move. “Technoblade, for your crimes against L’Manberg, you have been summoned to the L’Manberg’s court house so that you may be put on trial.” I slowly descended the stairs, getting closer to them, trying to hear better. That seems a lot more civilized than I originally planned. 
Techno let out a deep chuckle, “Yeah, I think I’m good. I owe you people nothing. You took everything from me and so I think I’ll just stay here.” The sound of swords unsheathing filled the air as the four of them got into a defensive stance. “I don’t think you understood Blade,” Quackity hissed. “It wasn’t a question. Now drop your armor and weapons and come with us.” When Techno made no moves to follow orders, Quackity laughed. “We can do this one of two ways, the easy way or the bloody way. Which would you prefer?” Now it was Techno’s turn to laugh. “The bloody way? Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m the Blood God. I’d love to see you try” Techno taunted, moving closer to the three… Wait a moment. There were only three in front of him now. Where did Ranboo g- 
“I didn’t want to do this Techno, but you leave me with no choice. GRAB THEM!” Tubbo yelled out. I was confused, grab what? I didn’t have to wait long for my answer. I let out a short scream as I was grabbed from behind. A sword pressed itself against my throat causing me to gulp. “Sorry Y/N” I heard Ranboo whisper in my ear. It was then I realized that the reason I lost sight of him earlier was because he was sneaking up behind me. 
I glanced around and found Quackity had a hold of Carl. My eyes met Techno’s. His face was still stoic, but his eyes were swimming with fear. “Now you have two options, Techno. Either come with us or watch the two things you love the most be killed in front of your eyes.” Tubbo announced. Techno’s eyes flickered between Tubbo and me for a moment. I silently begged him to stay strong. I had all my canon lives, if I died once, I’d be fine. But Techno didn’t get the hint. “Okay,” He conceded, “I’ll go with you.” 
My chest felt heavy. Oh how I wish that he had listened to me earlier. A wicked smirk found its way onto Fundy and Quackity’s faces. “Perfect, now drop your armor and weapons.” Techno did as he was told. His shiny purple armor falling onto the snow and his weapons of the same description followed suit. “Let’s move,” Tubbo commanded. Ranboo moved the sword away from my neck, but still had a tight grip on my shoulder. He nudged me forward a bit and the six of us, plus Carl, began the trek back to L’Manberg. 
*Small Time Skip*
Once we got into L’Manberg, Carl and I were separated from Techno. Techno immediately protested and made an attempt to get to us, but once a sword was placed not only at my neck but his own, he settled and complied with the instructions. Carl and I were escorted to a nearby building that had iron doors and bars, so that once we were inside, there was no getting out from the inside. Someone would have to let us out. 
The door slammed shut as Ranboo exited the room, leaving me alone with Carl. My eyes filled with tears as I turned to my boyfriend’s beloved horse. Carl, seeming to sense my sadness, bumped his head against my hand causing him to pet him. I did as he asked with a watery laugh. “I’m really worried about him,” I spoke aloud. Carl let out a huff answering me. “Well I know it’s just a trial, but I can’t help but worry about something much more sinister. I mean they named themselves the Butcher Army. That doesn’t seem very diplomatic to me.” Carl let out another huff, looking at me almost annoyed. “I’m well aware he can take care of himself, but I fear he may not defend himself if he thinks we’re in danger.” Carl conceded and didn’t “say” anything else. 
The sound of the iron door creaking open, broke me out of the moment. My head snapped to the doorway and was shocked at the sight. “Dream?” I whispered, stunned at the sight of the green cloaked, white masked, man. “Yeah it’s me. Come with me, now. I’m going to get you out of here.” He urged, motioning for me to do as he asked. I was hesitant. Why would Dream help us? But then again, what would I rather? Stay here and wait for the butcher army to come back. Or escape now? I decided on the latter. 
I grabbed Carl’s reins and pulled him out of the house, following Dream as we snuck down the prime path. “Are we going where I think we’re going?” I asked aloud as I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. Dream chuckled at my tone, “Yeah. We are. It’s where I told Techno to meet me.” I let out a sigh but nodded, “Great” 
The Final Control Room. I remember like it was yesterday. Eret’s betrayal shocked us all. I shook the thoughts from my head as we made our way inside. “Techno!” I breathed out, rushing forward and hugging him. Techno instantly returned the hug and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. “Y/N. I’m so glad you’re safe.” “What happened?” I questioned, pulling back from the hug. “I’ll explain later, but we’ve got to go now.” He muttered, turning to Dream. I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. Oh how the turn tables….
“Thanks Dream” Techno thanked. I turned and found Techno handing Dream a bunch of items. “Anytime Techno. Pleasure doing business with you.” Then Dream was gone. Techno turned back to us with a slightly worried face. “I can hear Quackity calling for me. He’ll be here any second. I’m going to have to fight him and I really don’t want him to know that you two are here. I’m going to block you in. Hang tight for a minute.” I nodded and moved so that I was standing next to Carl and made it so we were taking up as little space as possible. “Okay here we go.” Techno quickly put cobble down and blocked the two of us in. 
Techno finished just in time because I heard Quackity yell his name. I could barely hear what was happening through the cobble, but I got the gist of it all. After a few minutes, I got a notification. I held my breath as I read it, praying it wasn’t Techno. It wasn’t. Quackity was slain by Technoblade. I let out a sigh of relief and began breaking the cobble wall down. It went pretty quick as both my boyfriend and I were both breaking the wall. After most of the wall was down, I was able to wrap my arms around my boyfriend. We squeezed each other really tightly for just a moment before breaking apart. “Let’s go.” 
Techno hopped on Carl and then helped me on as well. Techno gave Carl a swift kick and we were off. As L’Manberg fell behind me I felt all of the stress fall off of my shoulders and the air fill my lungs. The clops of Carl’s footsteps and the constant rocking motion of the horse caused me to let out a yawn. I buried my face into Techno’s back as he looked over his shoulder. “Tired?” he gently asked. I simply nodded and closed my eyes. “Sleep then. I’ll wake you up when we get home.” I smiled at the terms used. Home. He didn’t say his house. He called it home. 
*another small time skip*
I was woken up to my body being set down on something comfortable. I let out a groan as my eyes fluttered open. Techno stood over me with a small smile. “Hey there love. We’re home.” He mumbled, leaning down and pressing a kiss to my lips. I hummed in contentment as I kissed back. Techno broke the kiss as he moved to the other side of the bed and crawled in next to me. I gently rolled on my side to face my boyfriend. The two of us just stared at each other for a moment, soaking up each other’s presence after the crazy day we had. 
“You want to talk about it now.” I asked softly, tracing random shapes on Techno’s chest. Techno let out a sigh as he pulled me close to his chest, “It wasn’t a trial. They lied to me. There was never a trial. They took me to L’Manberg to execute me.” Techno breathed out. I let out a small gasp at his words. Those boys planned on executing someone? “I knew something was up because Dream came to me with a woodland mansion map and told me it would be worthwhile to go find it. So I did and got a few totems of undying. That’s how I survived today.” I wrapped my arms around Techno and squeezed him tightly to my chest. “I’m so sorry that you had to go through that.” I murmured into his chest. I felt Techno’s shoulders move in a shrug. “It is what it is….” “Well then I’m sorry I couldn’t get here sooner today to warn you. I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you better.” 
Techno’s chest rumbled as he chuckled, “You know, as long as I’m alive there are going to be people hunting me and wanting me dead? You can’t protect me” He murmured in my ears. I rolled my eyes at his response and peered up at him. “I can do my best. I love you so much and I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.” I whispered, bringing my hand up and stroking Techno’s cheek. Techno’s eyes fluttered closed at the gentle contact. 
A silence fell over the room as the two of us cuddled together, falling asleep after a long and stressful day. I closed my eyes and snuggled into his chest. As I fell asleep, I felt Techno’s breath on my cheek as he leaned down to whisper in my ear. “For what it’s worth. I will always protect you. I love you so much Y/N. I would burn the world if anything ever happened to you.” A gentle kiss was pressed to my cheek and then to my lips before he settled back down. I fell asleep that night wrapped in my boyfriend’s arms with a soft smile on my face. 
I suck at endings so so much. But I hope you enjoyed it! If you did, please leave a like and maybe even tell me what your favorite part was!

Totem of Undying
gn!reader
person: c!technoblade
word count: 1,852
warnings: blood, yelling, cursing, failed execution (art not mine, SAD-ist on youtube)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One day, you were pacing across Techno’s floor, wearing out the carpet, wondering were he was. He was gone for 9 days, and normally he isn’t out for that long.
He specifically said before his little expedition, “I won’t be gone long, I just got to get something for Phil.” “Ok, have fun honey.” you said, not looking up at him from your book. “You’re sure you don’t need anything?” he asked, trying to find a way to spend a little more time with you before he left. “Yeah, I’m sure, just tell Phil that I said hi.”
“Ok, bye my Aphrodite.”
Ever since, you haven’t gotten any messages on the comms, no messenger birds from him, or any sign of communication between the piglin hybrid and you.
“If he was going to Phil, then I should call Phil.” you murmured under your breath. How could you forget, he said he was going to get something for Phil, so he must be with him.
You looked for you phone, and called Phil’s number. “Hello, who is this?” replied on the other side of the phone. “Phil, is this you, I need to talk to you.”
“Oh hey Y/n, how are you doing?” “Not particularly well, um I have a question, is Techno there, he isn’t answering my calls.”
"Umm, well, he isn't here right now." he states, regret lacing his words. "Well where is he, it's urg-" Phil cut you off, "Y/n, you don't know?"
"What do you mean Phil?"
"I don't wanna say this, but he got captured by the Butcher Army." "Are you fucking kidding me, when he get caught?" you questioned. "IThey came to your house a few days ago, didn't you see them?" "No, I don't think so."
Then you suddenly remembered, “I think they might have came to our house. I was on a trip to get some spider eyes, so I guess that’s when they came over and got Techno.”
“Yeah, they haven’t come back yet, they tried to interrogate me, but I said no, and then they put an ankle monitior on me.” “They decided that if I wasn’t going to tell them anything, they would confine me to my house.”
You apologized to him, “I’m sorry Phil, hopefully you get that off soon enough.” “It’s fine Y/n/n, right now, what I’m concerned about is Techno. The Butcher Army built something, it’s a little cage with an anvil, I watched them build it, but it was kinda vague to me.” "I'm coming to L'Manberg Phil, I'll be there in a hour or so." "Ok, be safe."
-
You arrived in L'Manberg, looking for Phil's house. "Hey Y/n." he spoke. "Right back at you Phil, how are you doing today?" "I'm doing eh, I'm just worrying about Techno." "Me too, hopefully he turns up soon."
So then you stayed with Phil for a while, drinking tea and talking about random stuff. You were trying to buy your time until Techno popped up somewhere, preferably unharmed.
“Yeah Phil, there was-” Hooves stomped on grass, triumphant talking covering every sound outside. The people that cut you off was the Butcher Army, who was boasting their victory over their fight with Technoblade.
Techno, blood all over his skin, bruises on his face, barely showing any sign of his true skin tone. Chains rapping all over his body so he wouldn't escape. You felt devastated, what had they done to him? Behind them was Quackity riding Carl, holding him hostage so Techno couldn't escape on his steed. "What did they do to you?" you whispered under your breath.
They led Techno to the stage, when he looked up at you and Phil, suprise basking his face. "PHIL, PHIL, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU PHIL, Y/N, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he yelled from under you guys. "I'M FINE TECHNO, THEY PUT AN ANKLE MONITOR ON ME." Phil screamed back.
They dragged him away from the house, bringing him onto the stage. "LEAVE PHIL AND Y/N ALONE YOU HEAR ME, LEAVE THEM ALONE." he retaliated. They locked him in the cage, where he was waiting his impending doom.
"Technoblade, this is actually not a trial, if you look up, you can see an anvil hanging down. When we press that lever down there, what it's going to do is drop on you and it's going to fucking kill you."
After Quackity's little statement, he demanded Tubbo to explain to everyone what was happening, but what they didn't know was that there was an ally, or friend of Techno's that would help him sooner or later.
After Tubbo spoke about how Techno betrayed the country, and how he had to pay for his wrongdoings, Punz swooped in, throwing snowballs to distract the Butcher Army. With his armor clad self, he started to attack them, momentarily trying to buy time for Techno. He splashed potions all around himself and the Butcher Army.
Then he started to load up the stage with unlit TnT, sending a warning to the Butcher Army not to fuck with him. Quackity yelled in scaredness, hoping that Punz wouldn't light the TnT. "PUNZ, PUNZ, CHILL THE FUCK OUT PUNZ, CALM DOWN." Quackity begged. He didn't stop, and that lead to the whole Butcher Army attacking him with their axes.
While they were chasing Punz, they didn't realize that he slipped Techno a totem of undying. That's right, one of the only things that can prevent death if someone was to kill someone else. So when Punz left the scene, and Ghostbur came to the stage to secretly tell Techno that he named his sheep "Friend", they started to prepare for execution.
"Ok, no more, I'm pulling this fucking lever." Quackity stated. And there is was, he pulled the lever, and the anvil went crashing down on Techno's head. But Quackity didn't know that he had a totem of undying in his hand, so when the anvil came down on Techno, there was a flurry of green and yellow sparks all around him, protecting him from his death.
During the little show, Techno escaped the iron cage, and ran for his life. The Butcher Army was confused, why did Technoblade die, he was supposed to perish, right?
He ran to the little hole in the ground, and was meet by Dream, riding Carl. Dream started to block up the hole, while Techno rode Carl to victory. As he rode Carl, he reached a control room, where there was chests filled with stuff for specific people. There was Eret's, Tubbo's, his, and many others.
He looted his chest, put iron armor on, and started to prepare for his journey. He splashed potions onto his body, giving him strength for a few minutes, and swiftness. When he realized that the pathway wasn't large enough for both him and Carl, he started to break blocks so he and Carl wouldn't suffocate in the walls.
While he was doing that, Quackity sneaked up behind him, taking him by suprise. “Techno, you’re not leaving this place, how didn’t you die?”
“None of your business Quackity, how about you leave me alone.”
“You’re my business Techno, and as long as you’re alive, this server is going to go to shit.” And this the fight began, Techno only donning a pick axe for a weapons, and iron armor, and Quackity, with full netherite and all the tools you could ever need for a fight.
Their weapons clashed together into a disgusting sound. “I’M GOING TO DEFEAT YOU TODAY TECHNOBLADE.” shouted Quackity, thinking he was going to win. “NOT A CHANCE.” Techno answered.
Quackity was clearly arrogant in this matter, even though he had the good stuff, and Techno had the shitty stuff that would be easily broken, he forget something. He forgot that he didn’t have technique, and Techno was the great night Blood God. Technoblade could’ve easily, if he wanted to, take down an entire village.
But he didn’t, and that’s what Quackity didn’t realize. Yes, Techno did some shitty things in the past, but he declared that he was going to retire from the fighting, from everything that related to violence. It wasn’t necessary to try to execute him.
So when the final swing hit, Quackity with his ego to a high capacity, at almost half a heart, Techbo easily defeated and killed Quackity, taking one of his canon lives.
-
You paced across the wooden floor for 10 minutes. “Phil, is Techno ok, where is he, why isn’t he here right now, Phil-” you cut yourself off, “Phil, is he dead?” “No he isn’t Y/n/n, I know Techno, he’s still alive, trust me.” he assured you, trying to comfort your thoughts, but it wasn’t getting to you.
Techno had to be dead, an anvil fell on him. “But what was the green and yellow sparks, what was the reason for that?” you thought. Was that a distraction, or was it something more significant.
“Phil, are you sure he’s-” he interrupted you with a shush. “Do you hear that?” he asked, not sure what’s was happening outside of his home. “No, I don’t, what’s wrong?” “Stay here Y/n.” he ignored your question.
He sneaked toward the door, trying to quiet his footsteps. He slowly opened the door, looked around, and saw Techno standing there, covered in bloody armor. “Holy shit Techno, what are you doing here, they could come any minute.”
“I need Y/n for a second.” he calmly said, trying to ease Phil’s nerves. “Mate, what about the Butcher-”
“I killed their leader.” “Heh?” “I killed Quackity, unfortunately it isn’t permanent.” he sighed. “Ok, first of all, weirdchamp, and secondly, please come inside, you’re worrying me right now.”
Phil let Techno in, and offered him a cup of tea. “No thanks Phil, so back to what I was saying, where is Y/n?” “Oh, they’re in the back, I thought you were someone else.” “Thanks.”
He stepped towards the direction you were in, and opened the door to find a frantic, worried Y/n. He put his body on the doorframe nonchalantly, “You missed me?” You turned around from your pacing, and looked at Techno, relief coating your eyes, “TECHNO.”
“Y/n.” he replied. You hurriedly walked to Techno, and gave him a bone-crushing hug. “Oh my goodness I’ve missed you so much, why did you have to leave, I don’t want you to die, fuck Quackity and the rest of them...” You rambled on and on about how the Butcher Army should be convicted, and a whole bunch of other things, when Techno cut you off, “Calm down my Aphrodite, I’m back, and that’s all that matters.”
"Ok, well are you hurt anywhere, Phil has some healing pots as well as some bandages." "I'm fine, but are you ok, did they hurt you?" he put his hand on your shoulders. "I'm ok, they didn't acknowledge me."
"Well, I'm glad that was the case."
You severely hugged him again, "Please never leave without me, I don't want this happening again."
"Never Y/n, never."

is it possible to get a fic about regressor!sapnap being little for the first time since c!dream, his main caregiver, went to prison ! (as i was writing this i got a really sad thought of someone telling him where dream is and him going and crying in front of the prison oh no sapnap my baby)
♡ regressor sapnap ♡
warning(s): hurt/comfort, impure regression, mention of death, brief cursing 
Tumblr media
It’s been three months since he’s last seen him, and Sapnap didn’t know how much longer he could take this ache. It hasn’t stopped growing, he thought maybe he’d move on to a different coping mechanism by now, but it wasn’t as if this one lost it's effectiveness. 
The joys of age regression. The days where the mind could not just act but be a kid again, relive a better childhood and make more memories. Sapnap craved the days before the war of L’Manburg began. He could talk to Tommy or Tubbo, free spirits who weren’t chained the shackle of others. He could banter with George or Quackity, pulling along Karl as they procrastinated on their builds. He could play with Bad or Skeppy, growing a stronger bond between them as they joked about the smallest things together.
Even better, he could let his best friend and caretaker - Dream - spoil him with gifts and affection. Dream was always so nice to him, never minding when Sapnap would approach mentally younger than yesterday. Dream would comfort him after a stressful day, wrapping him into a burrito of blankets and bringing in comfort items. Dream would be there when something positive made his brain click into a state of pure childish regression. The things Sapnap would do to get those days back. 
The ache in his chest didn’t settle, the uneasiness in his gut waiting to be unleashed every time he looked towards the obsidian walls. He remembered his promised. He said to Dream, right in his face, that if he even stepped foot outside prison... he’d be dead. Not by Tommy. Not by Techno. Sapnap would be the one to kill his best friend.
It worried him to no end that Dream may be trapped inside a claustrophobic cube for what might be an eternity, but if that's what it takes then he has to be ready.
However, he couldn’t think about it too hard. That was one of Sapnap’s many problems, it was starting to become one of his reoccurring ones.
He felt the need to regress, and while that wouldn’t usually be a problem... he had a feeling he’d be younger than usual. Usually he could take care of himself, even when Dream was next to him waiting for whatever he may need, but after so much burden and guilt that had been piling up for months he just wasn’t sure he could do it this time. Knowing this information, Sapnap came to the conclusion that someone would have to take care of him. But it always hit him so hard when he remembered just how alone he is now. Karl and Quackity never showed their faces anymore, George was last seen months ago when it was the start of Kinko Kingdom, while Bad and Skeppy were just bad omens whispered among the Bad Lands. It was all so much, there was never a time he felt ready to unpack it all.
That dreaded time had finally though, whether he liked it or not.
Sapnap had gotten lost on his way to Kinoko Kingdom, it was a relatively exclusive area, and somehow he ended up in the exact place he didn't wanna be. He had to find familiar landmarks, and fast, he could feel himself slipping. It wasn't a light fuzzy feeling, but a looming push in the front of his head. It was only noon but he was not just physically but mentally tired. He kept going, and going, and going.
Until he saw it.
He bumped into it head-first, entire body taking a screenshot as he stumbled backward. It was as if his whole world turned upside-down, tripping over his own feet. He braced his hands, falling to the ground with a quiet hiss, immediately his palms lightly throbbed against the impact. He sagged his head back, craning his neck from looking so high. Stacks and stacks of obsidian caught his attention, so tall it must have reached the block limit. He got hidden glimpse's of glowstone, peaking behind slabs and iron bars.
Pandora's Vault.
Sapnap's shoulders began to shake, the sight scaring him so bad that his mind took seconds to plummet. If it was tall before, it suddenly became giant in his eyes. His fingers dug into the grass, dirt uncomfortably settling underneath his fingernails. He didn't know how to feel, so he relied on the only thing he could.
He cried.
Sapnap's legs instinctively curled to his chest, head tucking into his pants, his breaths were fast and shaky but he couldn't hear them. He had no idea if he was loud or silent, he just knew he was sad. He wanted Dream, he knew Dream always helped when he got sad. But the moment his brain clicked that Dream couldn't, not quite remembering why, it just made him curl impossibly closer to himself. He wanted to go home, but where was home? He didn't remember. He was small, it wasn't his job to think so big.
Sapnap hadn't noticed, but the sun had changed, telling the breeze to move with it. He didn't even know time had changed, until there was a gentle tap on his shoulder. He sniffled, glossy eyes peaking between messy strands of hair.
There was someone standing above him, yet still far enough as to not break his space bubble. They were green, just like Dream's favorite color, and had a yellow construction hat on. Their voice was gentle, asking him a simple question.
Sapnap couldn't answer that well, but his stubbornness never changed no matter his age, he tried anyways.
"Um. I-I'm lost." He winced as he heard his own voice, he voice cracked too many times and sounded weak. Sapnap licked his own lips, tongue catching a hint of salt, before he was offered help.
He really needed help, and while he wouldn't accept that when he was big, he felt he couldn't do this alone right now. Dream taught him that if he ever needed something, there was no harm in asking.
So he stood, or at least he tried. He felt pathetic, his tear-stained face open for the kind stranger and the wind to see. His hair stuck to his face, causing him to stick out his tongue and spit it out with a groggy groan. Just when he thought he'd fall, his legs feeling as if they were jello, the stranger took his hands and pulled him up. They were strong, Sapnap noted, just like Dream.
He was told a name, Sam Nook.
"T-Thanks, um, M-Mister Nook. Sir."
It earned a chuckle, which brought a light smile to Sapnap's face. His right hand was let go, but Nook still held his left. Nook asked if that was okay, and Sapnap felt his chest start to warm, under the impression he was being spoiled already. No one has asked so much, and no one had been so nice in a long time. He shook his head, so vigorously his headband fell over his eyes. He quickly adjusted it, sheepishly staring to the floor. Nook didn't know he was small, but he didn't need to.
Nook talked to him, asked him more questions but never pried when Sapnap answered nonverbally or started to seem upset again. Sapnap couldn't help but notice Nook had a green hoodie, reminding him once again of Dream. However, unlike his caretaker, Nook was walking slowly. In fact, Nook had a lot of flowers and moss growing around his body, as if they hadn't of moved in a while. Sapnap didn't ask about it, not wanting to test his luck, and instead he glanced over his shoulder. The prison got slowly farther and farther away, which surprised him, it seemed so big while he was simply so small.
Maybe some day he'd get his best friend back, but today, he took it one baby step at a time.

Alex Quackity x Reader, Oneshot!
Word Count: 5047
Warnings: None! Just some curse words.
Summary: Breakups hurt. Confrontations hurt. Separation hurts. But when it feels like all is ending, you and Alex always find a way to make things work. [Angst -> Fluff]
After a loud plop of a box against the floor, you brought your hand up to wipe away the sweat that was now resting on your forehead. Yuck.
In an effort to avoid letting your thoughts take over and throw you into a spiral of regret and sadness, you had been cleaning and reorganizing your room. You took this moment to look around, eyes scouting every inch of the room in search for something you could've possibly missed.
The room looked almost spotless at this point. The box you had just plopped down onto the floor contained a lot of the stuff you planned on throwing away. Everything else had been dusted, thoroughly cleaned and placed back where it belonged. Looking at your organized, comfy, bed made you realize just how tired you felt at this very moment.
But there was no time to rest. Rest meant time to think about what had happened. Time to think about what had been lost.
You let out a small sigh as you walked over to the untouched part of your room; the closet. This part didn't necessarily have to be organized, since no one would come into the room and specifically open up the closet. But at this very moment, your brain was telling you to clean EVERYTHING in this room.
As soon as you opened the door to the closet, your eyes landed on an item you did not want to see right now. As your eyes continued to roam across all the clothes on the hangers, it started to dawn on you that this might've been a bad idea. Maybe cleaning closets really wasn't necessary.
There were multiple of Alex's hoodies on the hangers, all looking as comfy and cozy as ever, but at this moment they didn't bring that comfort and happiness they usually would. Rather, they brought back all those painful thoughts you'd been trying to avoid.
You gently bit at your lip, slightly frustrated since you'd been 'doing well', cleaning and trying your hardest not to let your thoughts roam.
Your stubbornness to not rest and keep cleaning had been your own demise.
You weren't really sure what to do. Part of you wanted to take one of the hoodies off its hanger, put it on, and crawl into bed. The rational part of you knew you should probably return these to him. You had no business having these in your room anymore.
That thought alone made your stomach twist and turn. It really was over. These past few days had felt like an absolute nightmare, but at the end of the day it was reality. You and Alex had actually broken up. It was all history now.
You reached into the closet, grabbing all the hoodies and placing them onto the chair near your bed. They were a problem for another time. The closet was going to be your distraction for now. You'd avoid facing reality for just a little longer as you organized the shirts and sweaters in your closet.
It sucked. Not having anything to do, having nothing to serve as a distraction from the fact that Alex would no longer be a part of your life. You were now sitting on your bed, playing with the strings on the hoodie, remembering how these looked on him.
They fit him so well, some fit loosely against his figure, others fit just right, showing off his toned figure. You vividly remembered how the material of the hoodie had felt whenever he wrapped his arms around you, whenever you would hug him and just snuggle your face close to him, looking for a source of heat.
The memories of how you acquired these hoodies also came flooding back. Some had been him noticing it was cold out and you lacking common sense to bring a sweater to keep yourself warm. Him pulling off the hoodie and handing it to you, the way his cheeks turned red as you thanked him, his eyes narrowing and telling you it wasn't that big of a deal.
Other times you'd directly ask to borrow his hoodie. One that smelled like him just in case he couldn't visit or hang out in the near future and you were in dying need of his affection.
You wondered whether these hoodies might still smell like him. As weird as it might've looked, you were now on your bed, bringing the hoodies up to your face and holding it close, snuggling your ex's damn hoodie to see if it still smelled like him. It was so fucking stupid. It was over.
You set the hoodie down as you felt your eyes water. Not because of sadness, but irritation towards yourself. You'd already spent days crying your eyes out over the breakup, and yet here you were again. There had been progress made already, and now it felt like you were back in square one just because of some fucking hoodies. Cloth.
You gently pinched the bridge of your nose as you took a moment to recollect your thoughts. You'd return the hoodies, and be done with him once and for all.
Picking up your phone and pressing onto his contact, your message history flashed onto the screen. Old messages were spilling all over, making a mess of you all over again. Not what you wanted at all. You'd wanted to delete his contact number and erase the messages, but hadn't been able to bring yourself to do it.
And now, once again, you were dealing with the consequences of being unable to let go. You tried to ignore the old conversations that were on display, instead pulling up the keyboard and typing up a civil message to send.
y/n found some of your hoodies at my place. mind if i give them back?
You felt an uncomfortable feeling settle in your stomach as you waited for the message to deliver, waited for any sign that he might've read it. Waited to see if he would even answer. Maybe he didn't want them back. Maybe part of you hoped you'd at least get to keep something of his, something that made your relationship with him feel real. Made it feel like it indeed happened and wasn't just a part of your imagination. Part of you didn't want it to officially come to an end.
Giving away the last thing of his you had meant officially putting an end to this. Whatever the fuck you had with him. You hadn't even noticed you were biting at your nails until the loud ding brought you back into present time.
alex sounds good. where would you want to meet?
It was starting to feel real. The split was at hand's length away. Meeting him to hand the hoodies over solidified the end.
y/n maybe the library? its near both of our dorms.
alex alright. see you in 20?
y/n yea.
Such simple discourse was already eating at you. This wasn't him. But that was to be expected. You weren't his anymore and he wasn't yours. Nothing would ever be how it was.
Even with that realization, you still looked at yourself in the mirror, checking to see if there was any signs that you'd been crying, or just you looking like shit overall. A few glances and strokes to the hair and you were ready to go, the small stack of hoodies resting on your arm as you walked out of your dorm room. To officially end things.
As you walked towards the library, you noticed it was rather quiet. Nobody was out and about at this time, it was peaceful. It gave you a moment to really reflect on all that had taken place. What had lead to you being here, on your way to officially cut all ties with Alex.
It had been a misunderstanding, really. Something that was going to happen eventually. Being college students with different majors and goals was challenging enough. But balancing the giant workloads and quality time with your partner had proven to be difficult for him, and perhaps even you too. There was effort being made in the beginning, but recently it had just not been the same. Perhaps things change, feelings change, but it didn't change the fact that it hurt.
After a few confrontations and harsh arguments, he had stated that he didn't want to be in a relationship if it meant that attention was required of him this often. He admitted it felt like a chore recently, having all his school work and also having you to deal with, especially when you got confrontational.
It had been heartbreaking hearing him say that you were the reason for his recent headaches and that he no longer was enjoying the aspect of a relationship. He wanted space, he wanted to have a moment where he could do absolutely nothing. Not have to worry about another individual's feelings. It was valid, and you had agreed that it would be best if you two just broke up. Clearly if you two weren't going to be happy, it was better to just end it.
You really couldn't blame or hate him. He was studying law, and you could only imagine how stressful and difficult it must be. And to have to worry about a relationship on top of that must've been hellish.
You couldn't shake off the memories though, all the great parts of your relationship. You struggled too. You had homework too, but he was the highlight of your college experience.
Even if you were drowning in homework, you knew you could waltz into Alex's dorm and just cuddle with him for a bit. You knew he would walk into your room any second of the day just to declare you two were going to take a break from studying to go eat at this place he'd found near the university. He was the light that shined brightly and took you out of the holes you dug yourself into when you worked too hard and barely had time to take care of yourself.
You thought you had the same effects on him, but instead you were draining him of energy. The hangouts and time spent wasn't a nice break for him, it was a chore. It was something he felt obligated to do.
You shook the thoughts away as you noticed the library getting closer and closer. Once you got there, you walked in and headed to where you knew he might be waiting, or where he'd know to go if you were the first to arrive.
Fortunately for you, he still wasn't here, so you simply took a seat and looked around the library. You could feel the guilt settling in your stomach. Perhaps this felt like a chore as well, having to come all the way out here to meet with you, just to get some hoodies you could've dropped off at his dorm. 0 interaction needed.
The small bell rang, notifying everyone inside that the front door had been opened. This was it. He was here. You held your breath as you waited to see Alex, if it even was him who had just gotten here.
Surely, it was. He was wearing these black sweatpants, a white baggy shirt, and his beanie that neatly tucked away the strands of hair that would usually hide his facial features. He looked good, to say the least.
You watched as his eyes scanned the room, looking for you. Once his eyes finally met yours, you felt your breath hitch in anticipation as his brown eyes finally met yours for the first time in about a week or two. It was so nice seeing him again, it felt right, but this was most likely your last time meeting with him.
You watched as he walked over to you, a small, polite smile on your lips as he came closer and closer. Once he was finally standing in front of you, a small, "Hi-" slipped out, which you instantly regretted. It sounded so pathetic.
"Hi." He replied calmly as he took the seat across from where you had been sitting.
He actually sat down. This meant he was planning on sticking around for a bit, right? If he wanted to leave right away, he would've stood, extended his hand out to show that he wanted you to hand him the hoodies. But here he was now, sitting in the chair across from you.
Usually when you two came to the library, he was seated beside you, arm wrapped around your waist as you two scanned a textbook of a shared electives class or both did your own studying. It was always so peaceful and actually allowed you to focus on what you were studying. His presence was so good for you, but it was recently made clear the feeling wasn't mutual.
Right.
You cleared your throat, not ready to hand over the hoodies just yet. "How have you been..?" You asked, trying to maintain a calm tone.
It might've been stupid to try and make conversation with him, but you were hanging on by a thread. You'd risk it, push your luck until the thread snapped and disintegrated in your own hands.
"I've been.. alright. You?" He hesitated to answer, and was currently avoiding eye contact, staring down at the table and then your hands that were placed on top of the hoodie stack.
"I've been okay. Big change to get used to." You admitted, a small chuckle escaping your lips. It was not a laughing matter at all, but you couldn't help it, especially since you were feeling rather nervous.
"It is a big change." He admitted as well, finally looking up to meet your gaze. The eye contact broke your heart. Usually looking into his brown eyes would heal any and every scar that may appear on your heart, patch up anything that may be breaking, but now it was these brown eyes that were killing you and breaking you apart.
It was now your turn to look away, settling your gaze on the strings of the hoodie, hands playing with them absent-mindedly.
The soft fabric against your finger tips reminded you why you were here in the first place, making you finally look up at him again. You were surprised to see that his gaze was already on you. Although your eyes widened slightly, you quickly brought them back to normal and cleared your throat, pushing the hoodies forward and towards him.
"Found these in my closet and figured you might want them back. They've been washed." You clarified towards the end as you watched him take hold of them.
And that's when it was official. They were now under his possession again, not yours. The hoodies were no longer yours, he was not yours. You could feel the lump forming in your throat at the thought, and figured it wasn't a good idea to be at this library for even a second longer.
You watched as he looked down at the hoodie stack that he was now holding. It seemed like there was something he wanted to say, yet was clearly holding back. It was a horrible sight to see. You knew you'd be thinking about this gaze, the words his eyes screamed, the words he failed to verbally say now. It would eat at you during late nights in the near future.
Now that the hoodies were in his hands, he realized just how real the breakup was. He hadn't been doing too well himself, beating himself up for reacting that way, for lashing out on you that way. For saying things he hadn't meant, and had only said because he was stressed out and in serious need of space. That was all it was.
And now here he was, sat in front of his ex, receiving the hoodies he had gladly gave them. He remembered when he handed each of these, what the occasion was and how cute you'd looked once you'd put it on. The pride that had filled his chest at the sight of you in his hoodie. How lovesick he'd felt whenever you came to his dorm with his hoodie on, when you wore it out in public and let everyone know that you were indeed taken. By Alex himself.
And now here he was. You couldn't even look at him for a few seconds without having to tear your eyes away. He wondered if you had cried just as much as he had, if you had blamed yourself or called yourself clingy, annoying, the worst of the worst because of the horrible things he had said to you. All things which he greatly regrets now.
When he had walked into the library, he'd spotted you almost instantly, sat at the table where you two would usually study, looking as cozy as ever. If he hadn't fucked up so badly, he would've walked over, wrapped his arms around you and left the softest kiss on your lips, maybe one on your jaw as well as he mumbled "hi baby," against your skin. The laugh that might've escaped your lips at his words and actions, the fact that he can't experience that anymore because he fucked up. It was killing him.
He knew that any second now, you'd stand up and walk out of his life permanently, and there'd be nothing for him to do about it. He'd already caused enough damage with the bullshit he had spewed just a week ago. He couldn't ask anything of you. Not a second chance, not a moment of your time so he could explain that he didn't want to lose you. That he had just been stressed and taken it out on you, tried to blame it all on one person rather than just taking a step back and thinking things through. Admit that he had fucked up. It would be extremely selfish of him to fuck up in the way that he did and then ask for you to forgive him. He just couldn't do it.
He wondered if you could tell how awful he'd been doing. Was it obvious that he hadn't slept? Too busy replaying the scene where he had broken your heart over and over again as he lay in bed, avoiding any and all responsibilities. When you'd reached out to him, he had been laying in bed, quickly getting out and trying to look as composed and not like he'd been feeling like absolute shit this whole past week.
But now he was sitting across from you and the hoodies were in his hands. The exchange had been successful and there was now no business for you to be here. Any second now, you'd stand up and leave him here. For real this time. He wouldn't get to see the way you smiled with your eyes, wouldn't be able to hear nor cause your wonderful laugh. Wouldn't be able to hold you close whenever he pleased, wouldn't be able to kiss you as many times as he wanted. Wouldn't be able to whisper secrets to you as you two lay in bed at 3 in the morning.
No. He had lost those privileges a week ago, as soon as those horrible words left his mouth.
The sound of you clearing your throat brought him back to his senses, along with the sound of the chair scraping against the floor. He quickly looked up, catching the words that were slipping past your lips.
"Well, now that you have your hoodies, I should probably head back to my dorm now." You said softly, an awkward smile on your lips. It was clear you weren't necessarily sure how to say goodbye. He wasn't either.
His thoughts were racing at a million miles per hour in his poor brain, your moves were almost in slow motion in front of him as he panicked and tried to figure out what to do for you to stay.
No matter how many times he had lied to himself and told himself that he would be fine with you finally walking out of his life, it was exactly that. A lie. He wasn't ready. He wouldn't ever be ready to lose such a wonderful person that had walked in and changed his life for the better. Not at least without explaining himself. Asking for a second chance, as selfish as that might've been.
As he stood to his feet, the loud scraping of the chair against the floor caught everyone around you two off guard, especially you as you almost bumped into his chest as he suddenly blocked the path with his body.
"Y/N." He said, almost breathless. Your eyes were wide in confusion at the new barricade that stood between you and the door.
"I-I'm sorry." He finally said. Even if it was just two words, he already felt much better. He wanted you to know, to know that he was indeed sorry for ever saying such horrible things to you.
The shock in your face was evident, your mouth opening and closing slightly, truly at a loss for words. He took this as a sign to continue.
"I'm sorry for the things I said to you that day. They really weren't true. I was just– so stressed and I needed to take that out on someone. And you questioning me and asking why I'd grown distant just pushed me over the edge and I snapped at you. But I didn't mean a single word I said. I love you so much, Y/N. I couldn't fucking live with myself this past week, it's been eating me alive, the fact that I said those horrible things to you. You that could never do harm, you that has helped me so much throughout the years I've known you, whether it be as a friend or as my lover." He paused, it was so clear he was suffering from a severe case of word vomit, and people were staring now.
Your eyes had softened slightly as you listened to his word vomit, but you were cautious, it was evident to him. Your stance said it all. You looked around for a bit before letting out a small sigh.
"Not here, Alex. This is a library. Why don't we go talk somewhere else?" You offered softly, gaze way softer now, almost as if you were being cautious of the state he was currently in, scared he'd fall apart any second now. He silently nodded, leading the way out of the library with you quietly following behind him.
Your heart was beating rapidly against your ribcage, unable to truly process what the hell had just happened. Was that real? Did it really happen? Or was this a cruel joke, and soon you'd wake up on your bed, clutching one of his hoodies tightly to your chest.
You were walking behind him as he lead the way out of the library. You replayed the words in your head, unable to grasp that he had actually apologized.
You had gotten up to leave, saying your final goodbyes to him, and that was what lead him to crack. He had stood up quickly to block your path, and had began to spill his apologies, explaining how he's been a mess and feels horrible about the things he had said. He hadn't meant it. You weren't a bother. The relationship wasn't a chore. He perhaps still wanted you.
You had mixed feelings about all of this, especially considering the pain he'd put you through this entire week. But you also were obviously not ready to throw away a relationship that had lasted this long, and that had been going so well up until last week, when he presumably accidentally took it all out on you.
You were brought back to reality as he stopped walking and turned to look at you. He had lead you two to a coffee shop, one that you two frequently visited. Not for the coffee, but for the pastries and other drinks they sold, all quite delicious and a perfect breakfast for when you both were running late.
You looked at him as he opened the door for you to walk in. As you walked in, you were immediately hit with the smell of the freshly baked pastries. He then asked if you could sit while he ordered.
It didn't take long before he was back, with the usual orders you both got from here. It was touching, and probably an effort from him to patch things up. You thanked him for the drink and delicious smelling pastry before taking a small sip, awkwardly seated as you waited for him to speak again, attempt to explain himself further.
When he realized you were just waiting on him now, he cleared his throat. "Y/N, I'm really sorry. I hope I didn't make a scene or anything at the library. It was just, kind of a desperate last minute attempt to fix things between us."
Us. Us. It left a savory taste on your tongue. It felt right. Yes, Alex, us. You and I. That's how it's supposed to be.
You shook your head, "Nono. It's not that. It just- caught me off guard obviously, and well, I didn't want you to get in trouble for speaking a bit loudly, at the library."
He smiled, a small chuckle leaving his lips at the slight teasing tone at the end of your sentence. God, you had missed his laugh so much over the past week. It always managed to cheer you up no matter how bad things were.
"So uh, I'm sorry once again, Y/N. I know what I did was shitty, I've been beating myself up for it this entire past week. And even if you don't accept this apology and you want nothing to do with me after this, I just need you to know that I could never ever mean the things I said. You mean so much to me, and I just- I fucked up big time. You're not a chore at all. In fact, you make my life better, but it just took me so long to realize just how much you've positively changed my life. I'm so sorry for being distant. It's school, I promise. It's not because I don't love you anymore or anything. It's impossible for me to not love you, I hope you know that–" He paused to take a moment to breathe. He had just dumped all of this information onto them again. But he was just so scared that you'd up and leave any second now. He had to let it all out before it even came down to that.
"It- it was a bit of an overload, regarding information." You said once you realized he was waiting for a response. "It might take me a while to think about this. I mean, what you said really hurt me, Alex." You confessed, watching as his expression saddened, it was obvious he regret it. Everything he had said. "Don't get me wrong, I still love you, so so so much. Words cannot explain." You said, hand shyly reaching out to grab his. He responded almost instantly, fingers interlacing with your own. His hands were warm, against your own. You'd missed his warmth so much, and finally having it, even if just for a few seconds was sending you over the moon.
His grip on your hand was tight, but not tight where it hurt. It was tight, as if he was trying to prove to himself that you were real, that you were really insinuating that you'd give him a second chance. And honestly? Of course you would. This man meant the absolute world to you. And you understood where he was coming from, why he'd done what he did. It didn't take away the fact that it hurt, but you understood him, and would forgive him, eventually.
"I love you too." He said softly, gaze meeting yours as he smiled softly. "Take as much time as you need. I really am sorry, I'll never stop being sorry for the horrible shit I said. But no matter the outcome, I'll accept it."
His words meant the world to you. Even if you knew you'd accept his apology soon, it still meant so much that he just wanted you to know he meant what he was saying, even if you decided to leave forever.
"Thank you, Alex." You said with a small smile, giving his hand a gentle squeeze, trying to tell yourself as well that this was real. You felt him squeeze your hand back gently as well, and smiled slightly bigger at the memory that he did this whenever he wanted to reassure you about something. You really did love this man.
The day had started off with attempts to forget the very man you were currently holding hands with, attempting to get rid of every trace he had in your life in attempts to heal, attempts to move on. But he had stopped it all. He had apologized, admitted to the horrible week he's had, admitted to his faults, and was willing to accept if you no longer wanted him in your life.
But how could you ever wish that in regards to Alex? The one that brought sunshine into your life, the one that made everything better just by being himself.
Things were going to get better from here on out. Alex apologizing and stopping either of you from leaving each other's lives was a clear sign of that. From now on, you wouldn't allow such atrocities to take place either. You two would work on this.
As you stared at Alex who sat across from you, you couldn't help but smile at the possibility of having him back. Having everything go back to normal. It was clear he was thinking the same, as he gave your hand a gentle squeeze and smiled at you so brightly, almost bright enough to leave you sunburnt. Alex was sticking around, and so were you.
Maybe you wouldn't have to give the hoodies back after all.

pls tumblr user rebelpeas im so sad how can we fix this,,, c!karl the beloathed(affectionate) please come back to us... sapnap's all alone :(((( fiances content, but at what cost? *wailing*
okay here’s my take, a bit muddled still as it may be: ckarl’s brain is LITERALLY falling apart right now. he’s only going to get worse - tales is just about to pick up and we know time traveling further deteriorates his memory, plus whatever is going on with the inbetween and the other side. so i hypothesize that this is a case of it gets worse before it gets better - karl has hit the point we all know he’d get to, which is forgetting quackity (if not entirely, than at least the reasons why he loves him. and if we think about it like that - the only thing he remembers is the one time q hurt him? every other reason to love him, every other happy memory - that’s what’s gone. karl loves quackity so deeply that erasing his love of him erases nearly his entire existence). there is still so much further for karl to fall, but luckily it seems we’ve hit the point where sapnap definitely knows something is wrong (and quackity would too, if he was a little less hurt and angry, i think). i’m really hoping that with some help, karl can recover from this - if not getting his memories back, at least understanding what it is that he’s forgotten.
i know i’m reaching a bit to cope but in these trying times what else is a man expected to do

Masked Crowns
Part 16
Part 17 [CURRENT]
Part 18
@petrichormeraki @applepie1000 @artistconk @ivorylin @sydneys-sketches @snapdragonfirefly @bargledblocks
--------------------
“Theo, stop moving around! Clem, stop fucking around and quite biting my ankle! Hey, don’t use that tone with me, young lad- Clementine!”
Fundy appeared half dead as he laid on the couch, exhausted. He watched as both Theo and Clementine hounded Tommy, who was just trying to make adjustments to their formal wear. Groaning as he hoisted himself into a sitting position, Fundy rubbed his eyes as he addressed his uncle.
“Give it up, Tommy, they aren’t gonna sit still. Wilbur gave them candy this morning.”
“I know, Fundy. Jesus, what the fuck was Wil thinking?!”
“Look at the bright side, you were able to quickly make adjustments to the bot-boys.”
“Only because Grumbot and Jrumbot are saints. I swear, Grian is a better father than I am at times. Don’t fucking tell him I said that- Clementine! What the fuck?!”
Both Fundy and Tommy looked down to the two children, who both appeared to be offended. Clementine huffed as she stomped her kicking foot on the ground, her arms crossed as she glared at her father. Theo did his best to match his cousin’s level of intimidating energy, giving an annoyed looks at his father and great uncle.
“No!”
“No what?”
“Noooo!”
“Ender- Clem, I can’t understand what's wrong when you throw fits, okay? Take a deep breath, collect yourself, then tell me what’s wrong.”
“Hnnnn”
Tommy frowned as he stared at the younger girl, who seemed to grow more irritated by the second. He knew her, though, could read her body language perfectly. She wasn’t angry or irritated, she was hurt and upset. Kneeling down, he held his hands out to his daughter, who glared at them in fury. After realizing her father’s hands weren’t going to combust, she sighed as she placed her tiny hands in Tommy’s bigger ones. Slumping her shoulders in defeat, she frowned down at her feet. Giving a frown of his own, Tommy lowered his head to try and make eye contact with Clementine, to no avail.
“Hey, look at me. Please?”
He watched with slight appeasement as she tilted her head up, her eyes slowly meeting Tommy’s. He gave her a hesitant smile, gently rubbing her tiny hands in a comforting manner as he did so.
“What’s wrong, little moth?”
Clementine didn’t talk much, opting to use her growls and grunts to communicate. This, however, wasn’t a situation where that form of communication would help things run smoothly. Moving her eyes from her dad’s face down to their joined hands, she frowned as her bottom lip began to quiver.
“I’m bad.”
“...What?”
“No good. Bad. Not nice. Not calm.”
As he stared at the sad expression resting on the girl’s face, Tommy suddenly felt small once again. He felt the same way he did when his father complained about him, not realizing his youngest was listening. He remembered the self doubt he felt and the hurt in his chest when his dad would compare him to his older brothers. It had fucking hurt when he was a kid, and it still did. And now? Now he was doing the same to his daughter. He was the fucking worst.
“No-Clementine, that isn’t true. Fuck, I- That’s not what I- Listen-”
Tommy sat down completely as he leaned forward, peering into the sad eyes of his daughter. Fuck, who knew being a parent would hurt his heart so fucking much? He was in his fucking feels at the moment, and it was all because of the toddler that stood before him. He was so scared of hurting her, of giving her reasons to despise and disown him as her father. He had to fix this, he needed to.
“The day I found you, I felt a piece of me return. It’s okay that you’re not like your cousins. You know what? I’m glad you’re not like them. You’re you, and you are being the best you there is. You’re not bad, Clementine, you’re fucking lovely. Don’t ever doubt yourself, okay? You’re a fucking badass, a brilliant one, too. I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to compare you to your cousins.”
The small smile that graced Clementine’s lips was enough to fill Tommy with relief. Pulling her into a hug, he smiled as he felt her cling onto his shirt for comfort. Looking to the side, he hummed as he motioned for his great nephew to join in on the hug. Theo, who was quietly watching it all, happily ran into the hug, pulling his father along with him. So much had happened in such little time that Tommy forgot that kids were easily overwhelmed. From discovering new family, the park’s opening, house renovations, and then personal schedules, it was too much for the two to handle. They got along and enjoyed their cousins, but Tommy and Fundy had forgotten that they needed more than just that. They needed reassurance that they were enough.
“Now, can you two please let Tommy make final adjustments to your outfits? We have a ball to attend to, after all.”
--------
Attending the ball was truly a blast from the past. Tommy snickered as Kristin gushed about the matching outfits her grandbabies and youngest son were wearing, alongside with her own. Most of the members from the Dream SMP just gawked in silence as Lani, who was matching with both Drista and Tubbo, twirled and bragged about how wonderful of a designer and tailor Tommy was.
“Tommy made those?”
“Yup! He sure did!”
“But they’re so...elegant.”
“Oi! Fuck you!”
Laughter erupted from the group as the music played in the background. As the group conversed among one another, pairs began to break off to dance.
“Pa!”
Tommy peered down at Clementine, who held her hands up expectedly. Letting out a laugh, he scooped her up into his arms, smiling as she giggled with every bounce her father caused with his laughter. She smiled brightly at him as he fixed the tiara on her head. She laid her head on his shoulder as he swayed along to the music, both content. After a moment, Tommy felt his daughter’s head lift from his shoulder.
“Cousins.”
He turned to follow her line of sight to see Theo, Grumbot and Jrumbot all waving at him, their suits and hair fixed appropriately for the occasion. Returning the wave, he smiled at his daughter, setting her down with a nod.
“Yeah, you four go dance and have fun. Be careful.”
He couldn’t help but smile as her curls bounced as she squealed in excitement. Giving Tommy a hug, she quickly grabbed a hold of her cousins and rushed to the dance floor, smiling as her cousins argued as to which pair should dance with who. As he watched his only child scurry away with her cousins, he couldn’t help but sigh. The feeling of a hand on his forearm caught his attention. Turning to the side, he saw Tubbo smile at him, Lani and Drista right behind him.
“C’mon, let’s go dance.”
----------
Tommy and Lani were doing their best to not disrupt their dancing with silent wheezes of laughter, they really were. It’s not their fault, everyone was making it so hard for them!
“It’s like he’s dancing with Mount Everest!”
“Holy shit, this is hilarious.”
The pair watched in amusement as Tubbo bossed an awkward, but happy, Ranboo around the dance floor. The height difference in itself was enough to make the sight laughable.
“Tommy, over there.”
Following Lani’s line of sight, Tommy damn near belted out laughter as a grumpy Drista was stuck paired with one of the park’s guests, who would not shut up about her relation to Dream.
“Poor girl, losing her sanity.”
“She’s about to break, it’s fucking hilarious. Should have given her a fork.”
“We’re here to dance, Tommy, not commit a felony.”
“Rich coming from a girl with multiple knife pockets installed into her dress.”
“You installed them!”
“You commissioned them!”
The two began to bicker like the besties they were as their friends and family danced around them. Phil and Kristin danced and twirled as they shared whispers to each other, their smiles brighter than ever. Wilbur and Techno were awkwardly dancing with one another, their empty insults to one another growing louder the longer the brothers were with each other. Grian was teaching Grumbot the proper way to waltz, Bad and Skeppy goofingly twirling around them. Clementine and Jrumbot happily danced off beat, no one even daring to teach them the proper moves. Quackity, Karl and Sapnap laughed as they spun around together, the three pulling George in from the sidelines. Just as Tommy was about to make a comment, a sharp elbow jabbed his side.
“Ow! Lani, what the fuc-”
“Shh! Look!”
“What are you-”
“Just look, it’s important!”
And important it was. There, standing at the food tables, was Fundy. He wasn’t alone, though, not at all. There, making the hybrid blush and stutter, stood a guy. Lani and Tommy exchanged knowingly looks, before dashing over to the nearest hiding spot.
“Move over!”
“No, you!”
“Shh, listen!”
----------
“Go away.”
Theo frowned as the words left his mouth. He crossed his arms as he glared up at the emotionless mask before him, the face behind it hidden well. That didn’t stop Theo from being able to read body language, and the vibes he was getting weren’t necessarily hostile, but they weren’t welcoming as well.
“I just wanted to get a good look at you, to know you. Makes sense, doesn’t it? You are my son after all.”
The word sounded so wrong coming out of the unseen mouth. Son. As far as Theo was concerned, Dream was no father to him. His only dad was Fundy, and Fundy was all he needed for a parent.
“Your crown looks very nice, did you design it yourself? And I like your suit. I noticed that it matches Fundy’s perfectly. In fact, both of your crowns match perfectly with one another.”
Theo wasn’t planning on responding to any of the comments, not that he’d have to try. Dream just didn’t seem to catch the child’s drift, continuing to talk despite the boy not responding. 
“You have my hair color, it looks good on you. You’re obviously a shapeshift, like Fundy. Have you tried shifting to your more humanoid form? Oh, your eyes. You have-”
“My eyes.”
He may have been young, but Theo wasn’t daft. He knew that Dream (he would not call him father) was the reason for him having to live in the burrows up until then. He didn’t know what all Dream did, but he knew that it was enough to make his papa and uncle Tommy hurt very badly. He wasn’t going to let Dream see him with his guard down, not around him. He just stood and glared at the older man, who seemed to not have taken a hint to the child’s body language. Theo just confidently stood his ground as he watched Dream kneel before him, reaching over to gently pat his head, not seeming to care about pushing the crown around. Theo was quick to catch his crown, which fell off his head the moment Dream pushed it off. Much to Theo’s relief, the unwelcomed form of affection didn’t last long.
“Ow!”
“Dickhead! Dickhead!”
Dream pulled his arm back as Theo hid a laugh behind his hand. Standing in confidence was Clementine, who had just bitten Dream’s hand. She just growled and hissed at Dream, taking a protective stance in front of Theo as Grumbot and Jrumbot stood by his side, ready to defend their cousin. Dream just rubbed his hand, before pointing at the emerald jewel dangling from the girl’s necklace.
“I only know one person with an emerald cut exactly like that. You must be Tommy’s brat. What did he name ya again? Clementine? Figured. I guess it’s true after all, trouble attracts trouble. Don’t tell me that you’re just as problematic as your dad-”
“Shut up!”
Theo huffed as he yelled at Dream, who wasn’t expecting such an outburst from the quiet child. Grumbot narrowed his eyes as the man, pulling Theo behind him as he did so. Jrumbot, on the other hand, just mocked the masked warrior.
“-meanie mask man!”
“Fine! We’ll talk once you’ve all calmed down. I’ll see you around, Theo.”
Dream let out an annoyed huff as he walked off, giving a half-wave to Theo. Once he was completely out of sight, Theo was mobbed by his concerned cousins, who were quick to assess him. Clementine began to sniff for any off scents while Jrumbot clung onto his arm, whines escaping his artificial mouth as his older brother inspected Theo. Whilst checking for any possible injuries, Grumbot began to question the younger boy.
“Were you hurt?”
“No.”
“Did he threaten you?”
“Nuh uh.”
“Well, is he as big of a jerk as Uncle Tommy said he was?”
Theo blinked a few times before laughing, causing the worried faces of his cousins to morph into confusion. After a moment, an amused look graced Grumbot’s features. Clementine and Jrumbot only continued to watch in confusion. Finally calming down, Theo responded with a nod.
“Yeah, he is. He tried acting like he was my dad.”
“We should tell your dad.”
“Are you kidding me?! He’s talking to a potential dad! Let’s just go bother Uncle Tommy.”
“No! Spy. Uncle Grian!”
“I’m sure dad won’t mind us bothering him. Let’s get going.”
Making sure they all had their belongings, the four children scurried off towards Grian. As they happily spoke with the father of the bot boys, Theo felt a chill down his spine. Turning around to peer behind him, he noticed a familiar white mask. If he clung onto his uncle a bit tighter than usual, Grian didn’t mention.

Reacting to Your Death
Tumblr media
So obviously I didn’t write all of them, but here’s how I interpret the SMP members that are written would react to you dying. 
Warnings: Spoilers for Tommy’s latest stream (Literally like one offhand), obviously death, lots of angst, violence mentions, Schlatt for anyone who doesn’t like him I suppose
Theme: angst, obviously it’s just them and how they deal with your death.
Characters; all the ones with (p) are strictly platonic but the others are up to personal interpretation: Dream, George, Sapnap, Wilbur, Techno, Schlatt, Tubbo (p), Ranboo (p), Tommy (p), Awesamdude, Niki, Karl, Quackity, Minx, Badboyhalo, Phil, DreamXD, Skeppy, Fundy.
DREAM:
- The first few days and nights, all he could do was sit inside all day. 
- No matter who visited to comfort him, he felt a horribly large part of his heart had been ripped away when you died.
- He thought about the day when you finally told him that a dirt shack wouldn’t do for a house, so you two spent days building an actual house.
- After those first few days, he decided he would bring you back. 
- The revive book had worked for Tommy and Wilbur, so it had to work for you. 
- He swore he would bring you back. So he did.
GEORGE:
- He didn’t know how to feel at first. He would get terribly depressed, then angry, and then numb, over and over.
- After a week of this, he then could hardly stop crying. What was he going to do without you? The realisation that he was without you hit him like a truck.
- Whenever he would go out with friends, he made it a habit to pick one of your favourite flowers each day. 
SAPNAP:
- He was crushed. He acted out more and more often out of anger to avoid his sadness and hurt, but when he was alone all he did was try so, so hard not to cry. 
- Bruised and bloodied knuckles were his most worn accessory.
- Often slept in your house, as a way to feel closer to you. He spends a lot more time in your house than his.
- Always remembered your birthday, but every birthday just made him more sad. 
- Eventually he would go to Dream about the revive book too.
WILBUR:
- You had been the only one to see past his flaws in a wary way, and he was heartbroken when you died.
- He often sat on your porch and sang songs he had once sang to you, as well as songs he knew you’d loved, and songs he’d written for you. 
- He was the one to make your grave, and had promised to be kinder.
- Though he loved being alive, he didn’t like that you couldn’t also have a second chance at life as well and felt it unfair.
- Probably resorted to a little bit of violence once he got to the anger stage of grieving.
TECHNOBLADE:
- He was always a pretty quiet guy, but when you died he went silent for weeks aside from when he was alone.
- When he was alone, he went into his library. He found all of your favourite books, worn and bent on pages from you reading them over and over, and he would read them aloud. 
- He hoped you could hear him from wherever you were as he read the books you had loved.
- He spent a lot of time awake as he did this, oftentimes getting very invested in what you had loved.
- If he wasn’t reading, usually he was in bed, wondering about how he couldn’t save you. 
SCHLATT:
- Of course, in public he looked composed as he usually was, as if it wasn’t eating him up inside that you were gone.
- “Who was that again?”
- When alone, he falls apart immediately. 
- People assume that when he’s waking up at near to noon it’s because he’s drinking, but it’s really because your death kept him up all night every night.
- He hardly even drank now, because of the secret promise he’d made to you.
- Though you were dead now, he still wanted to keep his promise, just in case.
TUBBO:
- Was the one who made everyone promise to get along when Wilbur made the funeral.
- Was entrusted with the love and care of your stuffed animals or anything from your childhood.
- Has your old childhood photos framed along with his own, so others often stop by to look at the photos to remember you by.
- Probably has your old horse as well, and takes really good care of them.
RANBOO:
- You two had been really close friends before you died. You were such good friends that he didn’t even need his book to remember you were friends, so of course he was absolutely crushed.
- Though he tried his best to stay stable to avoid certain things, he was upset.
- He definitely gave a speech at your funeral.
- He often sits in your room, talking aloud as if you were still with him.
- He would often repeat old jokes you used to tell each other, laughing softly and trying his best to not get too upset.
- If he wasn’t in your room, he was in your old garden tending to your flowers.
TOMMY:
- He’s also more aggressive like Sapnap, except moreso verbally.
- He blames himself heavily for what happened to you, and he mentally beats himself up about it all the time.
- “It was my fault Y/N’s dead, I get it!”
- He’s not much of a cryer.
AWESAMDUDE:
- All of his pain and sadness get put aside with work. He works harder, he makes it so he hardly has time to think about it.
- When he does think about it, he just feels so heavy the rest of the day, like thinking about your death has sucked the rest of the day’s energy from him.
- Sometimes he’s teased for suddenly being so sluggish and unlike himself, but he can’t even muster the energy to explain that he was thinking about you and how he missed you so badly that it hurt him deeply.
- To say the least, he felt like he had believed too much in you having more time. He should have known not to trust in fate.
NIKI:
- She for sure has any other pets you had. She takes extra good care of them.
- There’s a little spot in her garden dedicated to you.
- She had shut down for a good while after your funeral, where she hardly spoke to anyone and often lay in bed all day to try and remember you.
- Although as time went on, she decided you would have hated seeing her in bed all day like that and started doing her normal routines.
KARL:
- He knew he should have seen it coming, but… somehow, he didn’t.
- He felt a little guilty about this thought, and it often kept him from doing any normal tasks.
- He misses the days when one of you felt bad so the other would do everything in their power to make them feel better. 
- Needless to say, he started writing letters to you, even if it was just to keep himself a little busy.
QUACKITY:
- Laughing Through the Pain™
- He spends a lot more time making sure people aren’t worried, by making really bad jokes as usual.
- The only times he cries are when he thinks too much about you, regardless of if he’s alone or not. Sometimes it makes encounters awkward.
- He’s just sobbing one time while in the midst of a conversation with someone and he’s just like “sorry man I was thinking about Y/N” and they are just like “...oh”
MINX:
- Aggressive but make it threatening and nothing more. 
- “If you don’t fucking shut up about Y/N I’ll knock yer teeth in”
- She just wants to be alone sometimes. She just wants to be alone so maybe the pain will stop being so bad.
- Also not much of a cryer unless it’s late at night.
BADBOYHALO:
- “You little muffin… I told you not to get yourself into danger..”
- He loves to talk about you whenever people bring an old interest up.
- “I remember how much Y/N loved these…” He’s staring at the flowers nearby. He’s smiling sadly. 
- Often shares good memories of you with others to help them cope a little.
- He’s sad, but he knows it would do him no good to be so miserable that he can’t do anything. And he knows how much you would scold him if he stopped being himself completely.
PHIL:
- He names a parrot after you, naturally.
- He���s not gone as often now because he likes to stop by your grave and just talk. 
- He collects things that remind him of you and puts them in a special chest marked with your name. Sometimes it’s things you said were cool, other times it’s just things that he associates with you.
- Drinks your favourite teas.
DREAMXD:
- Would absolutely just go “lmao” in the chat and then leave again
- That’s it, that’s him.
SKEPPY:
- No more silly pranks with him :( no more memeing on others…
- It hits him hard
- Like Quackity, he makes a lot of jokes to mask how upset he is.
- Of course, he has Bad, but damn was it still difficult to deal with your passing.
FUNDY:
- :(
- He’s so sad that he doesn’t even want to do anything or go anywhere.
- It feels like his whole world just stopped and that nothing could hurt worse than this, and he doesn’t even want to face this sadness.
- He often goes out into the woods to climb trees like the two of you used to do.

hey guys ive been neglecting october
so here's some short phrases of bs to distract me from my midterms
I went too far on the karlwastaken one woopsies
Table of Contents:
1. Chains || punzwastaken (irl)
4. Flowers || Karlwastaken (DSMP)
1. Chains || punzwastaken (irl)
Clay and Luke have been secretly online dating for quite a while now, over the summer throughout the beginning of fall. When there was a planned Halloween meet-up featuring them in a Mr. Beast video, they couldn't resist taking a relationship one step further. Checking into the hotel rooms that Jimmy bought for them
They have already planned costumes to use for the video (and personal reasons but shhhhshshh), having a bit of persuading to be done to have matching outfits. The video had something to do with a "Fancy Haunted Feast" or something. Clay had a special aspect to his costume that Luke couldn't resist commenting on, hanging and wrapping chains. Clay still had to wear a dumb-looking Ghostface mask because he still hasn't revealed what he looks like, yet.
- - -
Fast forwards to the morning of November first, an alarm blared in Luke's room-- set for 9:00am. When he reached over to turn it off, there was an extra body of mass in his way. The shirtless, maskless, and infamous Dreamwastaken. His chest was littered with fading marks and there was still a chain wrapped around his neck.
4. Flowers || Karlwastaken (DSMP) // Hanahaki, unrequited love, blood, flower petals, vomiting, death, bad ending
Dream had hopped around through timelines in the form of a lime green protector: DreamXD. Observing what he can through the sleep of his own, he watches his love closely. If he tried to get a closer look at what he wanted to see, the protector would take over his vessel again-- Dream learned this the hard way.
One fateful day, he observed once more in the dream realm and watched Karl Jacobs, but he was knocked out and woke up in the prison cell-- sputtering and feeling liquid dribble down his mouth. Dream promptly sat up, spitting whatever solids were forming. There were blue buds and small white blooms mixed in with fresh, red blood.
The white flora was bell-shaped, having a connection to thin vines that seemed to grow the plants in a bell shape. The blue buds were unidentifiable to Dream and seemed more lavender in the light of the cracked obsidian. He remembered the lily-of-the-valleys and how he would gift them to Karl anonymously.
Dream didn't know what his condition was, and why he was spitting flowers. Was this a sign of something more? Is he going to die?
"Confused," the protector asked, simply floating at Dream's side. The response was a simple nod, for Dream had no will to speak-- just in case it would cause more petals to fall out.
DreamXD chuckled, resting a floating hand on the smaller being's shoulder. "Hanahaki. It seems like the universe has had enough of your examining and thinks you should do something about it."
Dreamwastaken didn't have to say anything. He knew that the protector understood his every thought. Dream knows that Karl is engaged to Sapnap and (possibly) Quackity. He didn't want to ruin more than he already has. What good will it do to shatter more than has already been disintegrated?
"Oh don't be so sad."
The mortal spoke through fresh, choked tears. "I can't... I can't not."
"You know so much, you know he won't remember a thing."
Oh, but that was another problem that Dream had. He would be forgotten by Karl because of the older's constant time travel. Catching up to him would be troublesome and maintaining bonds would add, too. It'd simply be a waste of time, but Dream loved the traveler.
DreamXD's head perked up, he sensed someone coming. Fading away, the mortal was left alone to face another day against Quackity-- who constantly pestered Dream about who the petals were for.

Days turned to months, the petals becoming worse and the vines that wrapped his lungs constricting airflow. Sam would come in every time the casino owner left, caring for the prisoner. It was mandatory, but in the passing time, he grew to be scared of what will happen to Dream.
Sam decided to stay with Dream, comforting the sheep-hybrid as he violently threw up more and larger flowers-- it was visible what they were now. Salvias, blue-toned, and lily-of-the-valleys-- just how Dream identified them himself.
A glow from behind the pair, DreamXD.
"Dream, you are requested," he spoke, holding out his hand. Sam knew he couldn't argue, this was practically a god. Dream walked up and was picked up, taken through a tear in the sky.
He was dropped off at the foot of a large, black marble manor. Exploring the area, he recognized it as "The Other Side." Dream tried walking, but his lip quivered and released an array of plants and blood. He felt like passing out, the pain rattling his bones.
Someone ran up to him, making sure that he didn't fall. Looking to see who it was,
"Karl?"
"I'm not sure who you are, or how you know my name, but we're going to get you some help-- okay," The hooded brunette responded, frantically reaching for medical equipment from his bag and stuttering on words.
"Kar--" Dream was cut off by a cough, "--l, it's Dream... Dreamwastaken, please I--"
"Try not to speak... Dream, it'll only make things worse," the other ordered, laying the blonde onto his back.
"Karl, listen, I love you. Do you love me? Please... Please it hurts.."
"I'm... I don't know you well enough, you sorta barged in here--"
"Please, I don't have much time left-- just... please, remember me, please..." Dream begged, using what was left of his strength to cling onto the soft fabric and round face.
Karl did as he was told, and remembered who the mysterious "Dream" man was. Maybe he could've saved him if he recognized who they were. A small journal, dedicated to the man, to store deep in the library. Maybe, one day, the universe will allow him to travel back and meet this man once more.
