So the thing about c!Technoblade (I say, as if there is only one thing) but one thing about him that always sticks with me is the choice of his codename in the Syndicate.
Because at first glance, Protesilaus was the first bloodthirsty stab-happy warrior off the boat in the Trojan War, eager for battle, unheeding of death, which is one way to view c!Techno's character (how many times did characters view him as a resource or a weapon before or even after Doomsday, where he was literally screaming, "I'M A PERSON!").
And at second glance, he’s a willing martyr, who knew about the prophecy that the first man to land at Troy would be the first to die, and would rather it was him than his friends, which is another way to view him, one that seems closer to who he actually is ("leave Phil alone, just take me!", anyone?).
But c!Technoblade chose his name without ever abandoning his catchphrase of "Technoblade never dies", which is what sticks with me -- because he didn't just state that he'd die for his friends and leave it at that. He promised to protect them and to live for them.
Protesilaus is destined to be the first of his comrades to die by immovable fate, but also Technoblade never dies, which means that none of his comrades will, either.
He made it a promise. "I won’t die, therefore the gods will have no choice but to let all my friends live."
By something as simple as choosing a name, c!Technoblade (who for months was wary of identifying who his friends even were, especially after what the Butcher Army did to Philza, whose only crime was being his friend) told everyone in the Syndicate that if harm came to them, it would be because he was already dead, and that he never intended to let either of those things happen.

Eret told us what the original lore finale was going to be. Her and Foolish were going to fight DreamXD, not in the End but on XD’s watch. It was going to be revealed that the whole server-reset thing was a cycle and that it had already happened possibly thousands of times before. There would have been hints to different relationships cEret had with others characters that were going to be explored more in-depth in Volume 2.
This is absolutely insane because
1. So much of his lines up with all my headcanons
2. They were going to go through the End Portal and end up on DreamXD’s watch. What are the implications here? Does the DreamSMP simply not have an End? Is that why he was always so insistent no one go through the portal? Because he didn’t want anyone finding him? Was XD’s realm literally just a portal away this entire time?

He shark. But also, he totem.
So I was scrolling on Pinterest and found this shark-themed dress and I just had to draw Foolish wearing it, because my god, it's actually perfect!!
