#stud and spud

[justsayun]

Potayto, Potahto

Was perusing the magazine rack and discovered a usual quiz in one of those rags. It was a quiz that would reveal what type of potato you were. Do people sit around thinking about what type of potato they'd be? Am I a Yukon Gold or a Russett? Perhaps I'm more of a Purple Fingerlings? I asked my wife about this potato article and if she had ever thought about what potato she could best be. She said she had and she'd always considered herself a sweet potato. (That womans a quick wit.) As for me, she considered me a couch potato. I've always considered it(The couch potato.) the king of the potato family. Right up next to the French Fry. I'm also okay if I were reincarnated as a twice-baked potato. I've always thought in the back of my mind I would be a cool potato. I wish I could find a quiz that would tell me what wood I would best be. I'm not a wood expert but I've always thought I looked good covered with sawdust. I told my wife I'm not sure exactly what potato I am. Perhaps the scalloped potato, the cheddar pierogis, hey even the mashed potato. She said I was ridiculous. I told her to remember that Stud rhymes with Spud. She shot back it rhymes with Dud also. I shook my head and as I walked away I told her that was such a Tater Tot thing to say.

Floor 183: Lake Two Stud

peaceful thoughts

make her think whatever you want :]

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

i saw that you accept regretevator requests, so could we have a reader having fun at the campfire with ‚Spud!‘ ? poor guy went through so much brain trauma and still makes good marshmallows, so maybe some platonic quality time. (and if you wish some angst at the start where poor spud has to think of what he went through (argh gnarpy when i catch you)) [also which characters do you prefer writing or is it just them all?]

Blinding white lights blinding his vision.

Red hot searing laser frying his flesh.

Green feline creatures standing over him, speaking in tongues he couldn't understand.

Metal tools and sharp needles poking, prodding, tearing, slicing, and stitching every inch of his body.

They hurt.

Everything hurts.

Why won't they stop-

"Spud? Hey."

"H-Huh?"

"We're here."

"Ah. Sorry. Must've fallen asleep.." Spud awkwardly mumbled, reaching up to touch his bucket hat. He then looked out the window of your car, noticing you were parked somewhere in the woods. "Is this Two Studs Camp?"

"Nope." You turned off the engine and glanced at him. "It's a different place. Far away from that one. C'mon."

Although still in a bit of a haze from his nightmare, he managed to climb out of the passenger seat, seeing that you already had the trunk popped open. You grabbed a dufflebag and slung it over your shoulder, watching as he grabbed the smaller one, trying to keep his balance with just one arm.

"It's close. There's a fire pit ready to go."

He stared at you. "Firepit?"

"Campfire."

"Oh...cool."

The rest of the walk was in silence, aside from the occasional hoot of a distant owl and the crickets chirping their little tunes. The air was quite clear tonight, so you and Spud could see dozens of stars in between the tall trees. You took a few pictures with your phone along the way, taking in the sights and sounds.

Eventually you arrived to the campsite, where he noticed a tent was already set up, in addition to chairs and logs being by the firepit.

"Wow. Is all of this..for me?"

"Just for you, my friend." You grinned, setting your bag down and searching through it, finding a smaller bag full of familiar treats. "I heard you've made some killer marshmallows, and I can make pretty good smores. I got everything else but the sticks-"

"Already done, spud."

"That was fast." Looking up, you noticed the bundle of twigs in his grey hands. Not to mention he was already sitting in the chair. "Okay. I'll get this fire going. You relax."

Spud simply nodded, watching you put the logs into the pit, before lighting a match and dropping it in. Within seconds, a warm fire began to grow.

The sudden heat took him by surprise, making him tense up.

"Spud?"

He saw your concerned gaze as you sat on the other chair. "You look afraid.."

"...I do?" He asked, not out of sarcasm, but rather confusion.

You already told him you two were far away from Two Studs Camp. Far from any impending invasion and a certain green Gnarpian who he oh-so bitterly despised.

So what was he afraid of?

"You're safe here."

Feeling your hand patting the top of his, Spud was snapped out of his thoughts again. His shoulders relaxed a bit as he acknowledged your comforting gesture, doing his best to smile. "Thanks."

"Any time. Now...mind doing the honors, counselor?" Handing him the bag of puffy marshmallows, you let him take two out and stick them on the twigs, handing one to you. Then he turned back to the fire, holding his over it, for once looking content.

Your gaze lingered on him for a few moments longer, as you felt a bit sad knowing those damn aliens have broken him in such a way that even smiling often proved difficult.

He could never truly have a normal human life again, but despite all of their efforts--the one thing they couldn't take away was his love for marshmallows.

And the joy of having a friend who adores camping as much as he does.

as of 4/20/25 this has been updated

so in my road to a 500 floor streak (330s as im typing this) i made a weird guide in terms of tips for anyone crazy enough to do this as well (it's me, im crazy. lock me in a rubber room with rats). i'll do em in the order of my notes and i'm going off of the official floor names

Button Comp: participation in this does not affect time spent here. The floor cannot kill you, so unless you want coins, you're safe to idle.

Space Dropper: same as the last one, but this one can technically hurt you.

bugbo: same as Button Comp. I purposefully don't do shit because I want to annoy that bug. I hate him. I don't have any reason to, I just do.

Studio Obby: same as Space Dropper where it can hurt you and participation doesn't affect the the time.

UES: while hunting for JAOBA is technically something you can do and it does speed things along, assuming you're working alone this is very boring and tedious. Floor is harmless otherwise.

Toolbox Speedway: same as button comp- you'll be seeing this phrase in here a lot.

Slide 4 Admin: say it with me everyone.

Splitsville: Do this one, it's harmless but it DOES go faster if you do it.

4 Corners: use RGYB in the chat to note the order. Since Roblox censorship is very finicky, don't ENTER it, but keep it on hand. Falling, though, doesn't end your streak.

Underground Subway: just stay off the tracks, don't hit Poob as they can kill you.

gm_flatgrass: no action required here unless you want the cat that might be there.

Happy Home Party: if you have Poob in the elevator, no action required. If you don't, uh. Don't die I guess-

Superhighway: Same as Space Dropper. I recommend standing on the railings of the elevator because there's about 4 knife (legally distinct) voombas that can and WILL kill you.

Color Our World: say it with me everyone.

Eternal Limbo: Stay alive, if you have the tiny foamer you can shoot the mirror Folly jumps into. Just shoot the right side, though, as the branches that can hold the mirror cover the left side.

Frightening Floor: stay on the rails. They say you need to leave the elevator, they're LYING.

Temple of... Something: Doing this alone will not harm your streak if you just fall through the floor. Take the gem with you, it'll be funny.

3008: There's no strategy to this. Finding Lampert makes it go faster but that's all down to luck really-

Elevator x5: Keep to the sides because if it's that pale red brick, it will kill you instantly. This goes for the red wall as well along with the void but the pale red killbrick is a lot more abrupt.

Find the Path: The sticker strategy no longer works. They patched it. It's back to pure luck and annoyance. Unless you're REALLY bad at the game, this shouldn't kill you. You'll just want to throttle the devs for patching the sticker exploit.

Suspiciously Long Room: EXERCISE CAUTION AND DO NOT TOUCH TARMITE. HE IS, REGARDLESS IF IT'S FACE-ON OR FROM THE SIDE, 1000% LETHAL. If you're not sure if you can make it to the next one, DO NOT PROCEED AND WAIT FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS COURSE. Completing it makes it go faster. Also, fun fact, setting off the firework in the gap can knock you around and RIGHT into Tarmite.

Cardboard room: Almost identical to button comp, but be wary since 3D Fafa Orange can and will kill you.

Backrooms: Pay attention for the love of god, Clovers are lethal. If you can't find any of the traps to enclose one, just dodge for awhile.

Redball Diner: Did you know? If you stand on the redball phone display in front of Reddy, it "breaks" him? Abuse this. (This is as of 1/20/25)

Birthday Apt.: say it with me-

Hotel Floor: The main strategy with this one is to listen for music coming from one of the doors. If you're fast enough, though, you can cheese it and get by with minimal damage taken. Or you have a gas mask. More on the items later.

2 Stud Camp: Do this one, it'll go faster, but be careful. The UFOs get really nasty at points, especially if you have Spud! join your elevator instead of Gnarpy.

Turret: lmao (stick to the sides of the elevator.)

Either Teapot Level: Don't bother.

Flood Fill Mine: This one's required, flood will kill you. Aim for darker blocks. They changed it some time ago so you can hold left click to mine instead of having to rapid-fire click.

Elevator Shaft: This goes for any level but especially this one, if you jump while climbing anything you'll go faster. Careful on this one, though, since the falling elevators do about 40 hp per elevator.

Gumball Machine: You can do this one, it'll go faster, but you will probably get smacked around a bunch.

Hole in the Wall: Sometimes there's an explosion, otherwise nothing happens.

Dance Party: AFAICT, this doesn't ruin your streak.

Infected Apartment: Do this one. No major advice I can give that isn't obvious when playing it a few times.

Funny Maze: Doing this one does make it go faster, but is it worth it? Scary Mike is lethal. He does have a path warning you where he'll be.

Minefield: ice cream :) (doing this one doesn't affect the time but you get ice cream :D)

Random Maze: Giggler makes it faster, but be wary of the RATS-

Snackcore: If you're running low on HP you can, but completion doesn't affect the time. There's also money on the ground.

Snowy Slope: Just get lucky or smth idk

Happy Birthday?: No action required.

Jermpop Factory: No shame in hiding in a barrel or a box, doing it'll make it go faster though. Jermbomination is also lethal.

Stanley Room: Either drink the cement in the game store or do this one, but not doing either will kill you.

Mozelle's Castle: No action required unless you want to participate.

Rock Park: Just let Sam, Pam, and Dan die. Hide near the grates in the beginning area, there's enough shelving in that nook to keep you safe from the rocks. The rocks are lethal.

Intense Obby: Not required due to time shenanigans but it can be fun.

Crumbl Cube: Soooo they changed it into a bossfight. With the "light up" tiles, don't step on them. With the wall segments, go to the green since those are safe.

Area 51: If I'm alone, I never do this one. No point. Like it goes faster but it sucks.

STAT's Domain: Same with Area 51, but it actually goes faster if you avoid it and it's less deadly. :)

Red Ball Temple: While it's tempting to not do this one, doing this floor will make it go faster. Just try not to slow down.

Pet Capture Deluxe: Having Melanie with you will make this faster. Plus, if you're alone, it's only 4 critters.

Drive Thru: No action required.

Jeremy: Fun fact! You can shoot the button you need to press with either the Foam Dart or the Anti-Voomba device. Shaves a bit of time off. Yeah, this is me saying do this one.

WHEEL OF: Good luck?

Fun Flood at Squishy's: You kinda need to do this one. I now want to pose this as a hypothetical: is it Gregoriah's fault for hitting the button, or is it the company's fault for having it to begin with?

WALL OF: You have to do this one. It IS death otherwise.

Dying Mall: No action required, this one is boring and annoying and I don't like it.

BFDI: Doing the 30 second challenge if you're alone makes it go faster. Dying has no consequence since you'll just respawn from the machine.

I also want to make note of some special floors and some recommended items

Abandoned Cube: This is what WAS the CRUMBL CUBE. It's now very sad-looking but functions the same.

Ballpit: Toothy and Toothette, be wary of them.

Bomb Defusal: This can hurt you pretty bad, be careful.

FNARB: HAR HAR HARHAR HAR- anyway, yeah. Just survive, it's not too difficult. Don't abuse the doors or lights.

HALL OF: Uhhh. Godspeed? Fuckin. Run for your life??

ITEMS TO GET

Almost, if not, every shop has the Gas Mask. Look into the Crystal Crown at Retrograde Security Station and/or Floppy Shoppy. It's also good to look into the Token of Asclepius at various stores. iirc HC Ice Cream has them, I think OFFICE OF has them- oh, and the tiny foamer at Shop Space. From the maingame store, get the anti-voomba device and the petal cone. You can use the petal cone for Split if you get annoyed at her banana peels, and the anti-voomba device for. Well. Yeah.

One final note, do not anger DrRetro, Gnarpy, Spud!, or Poob. They can kill you. Poob has it for you.

idk i might tierlist some floors at a later point

This video released for A Dream Within a Dream looks amazing:

The concept of the FL ending in a narrative and trying to fight it as it fights back is my jam, Li Yitong is ridiculously underrated and I am glad it looks like she’s getting her time in the limelight and LYN has never been in a drama where I didn’t love him.

Plus seeing him as this killer warlord dude is the closest we are gonna get to A Prisoner of Beauty, aren’t we?

And now the all-important question.

[yeuc-c]

is sarah a fellow camp counselor for two stud camp or is she one of spud/frank's pupils?

A fellow counselor!

[sicksucculentz]

Regretavator headcanons: Spud part 2

Sarah has seamlessly slid into the role of helping take care of Spud. Spud is now pretty much attached to her hip and they even just share a bed. In a completely platonic way Spud loves to sleep at the very foot of Sarah's bunk while Sarah herself buries herself under like 6 blankets. This not because Spud struggles to take care of himself it's just that she helps a lot with his trauma and his flashbacks. She does a great job of keeping him grounded and to chase away the nightmares. She's always there to comfort him through flashbacks. That's all she has to do, Spud can cook, drive, walk, run, whatever on his own. Spud just can't be alone with himself anymore after whats happened to him.

Yes he has been kicked off the bed on accident by Sarah a few times. The thudding of his body hitting the floor always wakes her up.

The Two Stud camp was originally created for youth recreation. Youth aged 11 to 17. The camp is still up and running even after Spud's grusom abduction. There's no hiding what happened to Spud but the staff still tries to avoid the conversation about it. The kids are often scared of Spud because of his appearance when they first arrive at the camp but they quickly grow to find him fun. He tends to join in on games or create games to keep the kids entertained. He's still quite silly, goofy, dorky but he's fun. Sometimes teens don't want to immerse in the games and would rather text or just be alone. That's ok, sometimes people just aren't in a good place and he's been a great leaning ear to these teens as well. He's just good to vent to.

He meditates. He goes through breathing exercises and just blanks his mind for about 30 minutes every other day

He's slow sitting down. He lowers one side onto his elbow then lowers to the other elbow then just plops his torso down after that with a dad groan. He relaxes his shoulders to and sighs.

Spud has taken Sarah on the elevator with him before. Of course who's the first person she meets?.....Bive. Bive scared her and Unpleasant made her cling to Spud out of discomfort.

He still has the same voice and pitch as he did before his abduction but He does have a lisp now. The shape of his mouth and the sharp teeth inside cause the lisp.

He has regular doctors appointments to check up on his status. His GP is super cool and loves talking with Spud about all sorts of things. It was difficult but Spud's GP knows about what's happened that caused Spud's appearance.

He can now move his eyes in their own independent directions. His eyes are not exactly in tune with each other and can look and move in different directions like a chameleon.

He has a nasty habit of popping his knuckles and his neck. His knuckles pop the loudest sense he uses his hands to walk and it puts strain on the joints.

He does drink, he's an adult after all. He once ended up getting so drunk at one point he couldn't walk back to the cabins without falling over so someone had to carry him. Yea he woke up grouchy and debridden with a nasty hangover. He shut the bathroom door in someone's face when they went to check on him while he was throwing up.

He likes to gamble and bet money. He's really good at cards to, his poker face is amazing. He's pretty good at limiting himself but he has blown a good amount of money in the past when he let it slip him.

Spud and Party Noob have regular contact. Spud is not a fan of Party Noob's parties and does not attend them but they do have nights where Party Noob will have a small gathering at their place to have some drinks and play some poker or board games. Split and DrRETRO are often in attendance in these gatherings. Sarah has been to a couple with Spud. The strange creatures freak her out but she became fast friends with Split and has her phone number.

He gets nasty when he's angry or gouchy. He can get grouchy pretty easily. It's cannon he has some anger issues. He doesn't exactly scream/yell, but rather gets snippy with people. There are times were he’s thrown things or hit objects. He’s swatted at people before but never more than open hands swats or nudges/shoves with his shoulders

His memory is bad. He often forgets things or people he hasn't known long.

He's mildly allergic to nuts. He gets hives and it gets a bit hard to breathe.

He loves this one game console thats a lot like a Switch. He doesn't have one of his own but one of the other staff members has one and lets him borrow it. It’s a bit shocking to know someone so sweet plays some pretty violent games. He likes the games like GTA or fighting games where he can just beat the devil out of digital people, he does play them on mute though.

Car rides cause him to fall asleep. He just zaps out after about 20 minutes. His blinking gets slower and slower until his head starts to slump and bam, he’s asleep. When he’s out, he’s OUT and drools on himself. He's always fallen asleep in cars.

Fat and Cat! The two legendary Spud!s

These two sillys!! Named by my sister as 'Fat' and 'Cat' the two Spuds she vowed to protect! Cat was gotten from Two Stud camp and we saved Fat from Jeremy, they are sooooo silly and Cat was omnipresent in the run lol, he had been there since floor 36 and at the time of this picture being taken the floor count was at 144 Fat left on floor 76, she had kept them alive forever and said she wouldn't leave game until they died (she left on floor 144 because she got tired) I mean, Cat was becoming omnipresent so she left and we played April Gouls elevator :333

[silly-stings]

be hold. the two studs

[regretevator-headcanons]

kasper used to be one of the kids that visited two stud camp, which is how he met spud, who was his cabin leader.

[captastrophe]

Late to the URL meme party but omg so cool 🥺 lil potato here is honored to interact with big cool blog ✨✨

Hello lil potatoe, as a Stud Spud myself, I support you trying to live you best starchy life. Get those cives and all the (sour) cream you desire!

What's my reputation? What do you think when you see my URL?

@vindicta-reliquiae

[detectivebive]

Have you figured out how Spud… well, works?

I HAVE

ABSOLUTELY

NO

CLUE

HOW THEY WORK!!!

Buttttt with process of context clues!!!

The Spud! and that Gnarpy Alien are connect in some way cause they come into the Elevator on the same room…never together though….

STILL DOING RESEARCH ON THAT!!!

STUD! DOESNT SEEM TO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH OR HOW THEY GOT LIKE HOW THEY ARE NOW!!

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

could i get gnarpy with an alien reader (preferebly platonic) just get creative with it i guess (i just wanna see stuff where the reader id an alien because my character is an alien 😭)

For funsies I'll make reader a dog alien (since gnarpy is a cat I think it'd be pretty funny)

.............

"Don't you ever get tired of-?"

"AH!"

"What?! What's wrong??"

"Nothing. I forgot an inferior being haz boarded thiz gleeping box."

"...now that's a bit rude." Shaking your head, you hung back by your corner of the elevator, gazing over at the Gnarpian who kept looking back at you with contempt.

Clearly, xey despised your presence from the moment you showed up from the Area 51 floor, where you infiltrated the facility as a command center for your troops. You found friends in the biological lifeforms that were held there, working together to prevent intrusions while your army refueled their spaceships.

You only enter the elevator to explore other "worlds".....and one of them apparently was the Two Stud Camp on Earth, which was constantly being invaded by the Gnarpians.

Usually it was Spud who came seeking refuge from the impending UFO attack, but this time Gnarpy showed up instead, xyr armor black as the night sky.

You were sworn enemies, with your people being at war with each other for as long as you could remember.

The only reason xey never shot you on sight was simply because killing you would be "boring" in xyr eyes. Xey would rather see you and your species humbly submit to xyr ruling, believing that would bring more satisfaction to their ego than a simple death by laser.

But knowing you were safe within the elevator meant there was a chance to extend the olive branch.....even though xey keep blasting that branch over and over again.

Still, you never gave up trying to achieve a peaceful coexistence. Your people were more diplomatic, seeking to resolve things without excessive violence. And while you remained curious about the lifeforms in this universe, you had absolutely no desire to experiment on any of them. Especially not for entertainment or to see how they "work" on the inside.

You found such a practice to be horrifying, yet Gnarpy likes to brag about it just to get you riled up.

But you resist showing any rage. That would be giving in to what xey want you to be.

"The creaturez in Area 51 would be great azzetz to the Gnarpian army. They would zerve a better purpoze as weaponz of war Why let them wazte away in a gloorpy dump like that?!"

"They aren't "wasting away", Gnarp." You frowned at the cat. "We've provided them with better living conditions-"

"We Gnarpians would have given them that and more." Xey sneered, ears flicking as xyr head turned towards the elevator's buttons. "You're too zoft. And one day..that will be your ultimate undoing, gleepy mutt."

"Being soft doesn't mean we're weak. We just don't fancy torturing innocent species who've done nothing wrong. What you did to Spud..that poor human...it's sickening."

Gnarpy swiveled xyr head back to you, tilting it to the side. "I'm zorry, who?"

"You know exactly who."

"....I really don't."

"You had something to do with that, Gnarp. Stop denying it." Sighing, you watched as somebody inserted a floor ticket into the machine. "One day, I'm gonna find a way to fix him and udo all the damage you did."

"I ztill don't know who you're talking about!"

".....maybe you deny your involvement because you feel guilty?"

".........."

"Huh...got your tongue, didn't I?"

As the elevator dinged and the doors opened into the cardboard mansion you decided to get off here and walk out into the living room. "I'm leaving. Enjoy the rest of the ride, friend." You waved a paw to the now fuming cat.

"Good riddance, you gleeper! That'z the lazt time you get under my fur!! Gleepo gloop!" Gnarpy shouted some curse words at you as you went through the door and vanished into the darkness.

Then Xey just stood in the corner, grumbling under xyr breath and tapping xyr foot, waiting for the other occupants to return from their exploration.

One day, xey'll get you to see things from xyr point of view.
