i’ve avoided putting anything on here, on my public accounts because i’m not exactly a public griever. i never will be. i originally wasn’t going to put anything here either, but i think this is the next step in this whole grieving thingy for me.
idec if anyone actually reads this, because this is a comfort for me, plus i don’t think i can stomach not saying anything about someone that meant so much to me despite having never met him. he’s got me through so much. so fucking much. 
also before i get into it, i do want to mention that this is very much me rambling and may also come across sort of vent-like. 
things were really rough for me last night (as im sure it was for so many other people). i cried for so so long to the point where i couldn’t breathe and the only thing i could feel was the pressure of my headache that had formed, it wasn’t even one of those pounding headaches, it was just constant. honestly i blame it on being dehydrated, L to me for not drinking water ig. 
at first i thought it was some kinda of sick joke. about 10 seconds into the video i was actively hoping that it was. i don’t know how to fucking process this or how to properly grieve and i cant even imagine how anyone close to him must be feeling right now. but i bet that they’re fucking proud of him. he’s made such a positive impact on so many fucking people. 
he was the first person i watched when i started watching minecrafters again. instantly i grew attached to his content and his personality. the way he interacted with his friends was just so fucking nice to watch. i cant even explain it well because who the fuck actually manages describes complex emotions like this in full?? 
my first art post on my twitter account was him and my first mcyt post on my instagram account was him. i
 remember being fifteen fucking years old, having no friends and no one to even talk to. i remember being the loneliest i had ever been in my entire life, and i remember how much technos content helped me through that. 
yesterday, when the video was uploaded to his channel, i cried the hardest i had ever cried in my entire life. i have never dealt with grief like this. i’ve never experienced death. but yesterday, everything felt wrong. nothing felt real, it didn’t feel real. i straight up, could not fucking believe it. i still cant believe it. because it doesn’t feel real. i cant wrap my head around him actually being gone. 
and when i say that everything felt wrong, i mean that it felt like i couldn’t do anything. everyone was talking about distractions but i couldn’t distract myself because just the action of doing so felt like i was doing him a disservice. and don’t get me wrong, i know that’s not true, but that’s how it felt. i couldn’t listen to fucking music all day yesterday because the noise was just too loud, and the lights on in my room were too bright so i had to shut them off as well. it all felt so wrong. 
today, seeing the rest of the world move on with their lives was so confusing to me. people have been so excited to watch the new stranger things episodes and i just cant. i cant bring myself to do anything like that. anything that i can’t relate back to technoblade i cant distract myself with. 
i played a bit of minecraft, i watched some of his old videos, i watched phil’s stream. 
it was really nice to laugh with my friends though. i’m glad that i was able to do that today. really fucking glad. 
i’ve been spending a lot of time on twitter. right now the whole place is just full of love and support and other people who are grieving just as much as i am and it’s really fucking nice. 
i’m kind of scared to post this because i’m not really one for being public with my emotions, and i don’t have anything like this on any of my accounts. also the fact that i know my friends will probably see this. but like i said, it felt wrong not to post anything. 
it’s true that i could post something significantly shorter, but i think i’d rather post something that feels more me.

Mortal of Gold - Part 3
(Yandere!C!Techno x GN!Shy!Reader x Yandere!C!Philza)
Anyone want my list of the characters as gods? There were a few characters that I couldn't think of like Ponk, so I just left them out. ANYWAY. Hi, how's it going? ALSO I CANT EDIT THIS DAMN POST AND THE SPELLING ERRORS ARE SO IRRITATING
Part 1 Part 2 TW: Mention of amnesia, memories being altered Send me a message via inbox if you wanna be added to a general or series tag list. Make sure to turn off anon, please. ------- “They weren’t born… A mortal?”
A light wind brushed over your features, causing you to give a small sigh and roll over onto your side in an attempt to block the light from hitting your lidded eyes. It was nice and quiet for once… “(Y/n)?” A distorted voice echoed softly, causing you to flinch a bit. You opened your eyes slightly to see a silky blackbird sitting on the sheets beside you, a few golden trinkets laying beside it. Upon seeing your eyes slide open, the creature hopped up onto its legs and began making soft cooing noises, “(Y/n)! (Y/n), you’re awake!” Glancing around at the surroundings you had been placed in, racking your mind for any sort of familiarity but failing to come up with anything at all, even who you were. You sat up, slowly brushing your fingers along your ombre silk clothing before putting your hands on the sheets below your body, frowning as you didn’t recognize the bed as yours. “Hello…” You murmured softly, reaching your hand out to the crow who eagerly jumped forward to nuzzle your hand. The feathers of the bird felt… Odd. They felt more like grabbing at misty fog, but with a light staticky cotton texture that caused a buzzing sensation on your fingertips, “I’m sorry, my memory… Seems to be a tad faulty… Could you tell me your name?” “I’m Chat, Dadza- er… Philza’s familiar! I was a gift from Mumza, oops... Kristen, the Goddess of Void and Death.” It chirped, its voice having multiple layers in your head, causing you to shake your head a slight bit, “No, they’re not married, only parental figures to the souls that pass on to the afterlife or those they saved sometime before they passed on… I believe they have more of a co-worker relationship.” You nodded slightly, pursing your lips at how the creature’s voice sounded in your mind. It was unsettling and caused shivers to crawl up and down your back, but at the same time, it was incredibly calming and had a soothing aura. How that worked, you had no clue whatsoever. Brushing off the unsettling voice of the bird, you decided to focus on the name that caused a light to go off in your head, “Alright… Philza… I think I remember that name…” “Yeah! Dadza- Eck… Sorry. Phil, he’s the God of Survival and Crows! He controls not only every crow in the mortal land, but he also controls whether or not someone will survive a situation. If there is no way that the mortal can survive, he will send a crow down and have them guide the soul of the mortal to him! Then he escorts them to Kristen! He has gained the name Angel of Death because he works for Mumza!” You decided not to question why the crow called Philza and Kristen Mumza and Dadza, knowing that you’d probably find out later, but by the sound of it Chat seemed to be multiple children, “Okay… Makes sense…” You mumbled slowly, nodding your head up and down. With a sigh you slowly brought your legs over to the side of the bed, only now becoming aware of how large the soft mattress was. Lowlands! (Hell) You could probably fit six people who were ten feet tall in it with room to roam! Pushing yourself off the bed, you also realized how high the beautiful bed was off the floor, Gods, whoever lived here was tall! Behind you, you heard a small chirp, and you saw Chat watching you curiously. With a small shrug, you decided to pick the familiar up and hold it in your cupped hands as you walked out the door, “Oooh! Dadza never carries us like this, and Technoblade does only when he’s about to yeet us out a window!” “Yeet?” You scowled in confusion as you walked through the arched doorway, your bare feet padding silently on the quartz flooring, “I'm scared to ask. Technoblade? Is he also a god of some things? He sounds familiar as well…” “That’s its word for throwing something. Well, it yells the word when they throw something or get thrown, so I assume it’s yelling in excitement,” A deep voice spoke from in front of you, causing you to gasp and lift your head from the crow. The telepathic chirping and squeaks from Chat in your mind quickly formed the name Technoblade, so… You had a feeling that your answer was on its way past his
lips, “I’m Technoblade, or Techno, the God of Blood and War. It’s… nice to see you finally awake…” He shifted awkwardly on his feet as you curiously studied him. His appearance could certainly be described as godly if anyone asked you. His long pink hair was mostly twisted and tied into a braid with bits of golden chain and a polished golden crown adorned with rubies, garnets and diamonds. Upon his pale skin, dozens of scars of varying sizes decorated his skin in different areas, but they were displayed in an almost proud manner. Almost. When he spoke, his dark pink eyes hidden behind cracked glasses searched your form for any sort of injury, “I’m… (Y/n)... I think. I don’t know if this bird is exactly trustworthy in its information… Do you know where I am?” Techno snorted as Chat gave an offended squawk at your statement, “That’s very fair, to be honest. You’re in the Tundra of the Upperlands, and this is my palace. No there is no snow, I believe the person who named this place has never looked into the name or word Tundra, but it’s been like this for too long to change it-” He paused for a moment as he noticed you looking extremely confused, “Ah. Right. Desert. Don’t worry about it.” “Oh… Okay…” You frowned at the tusked male for a moment before shaking your head, deciding not to question it much, “Now, uh… How did I get here, and why don’t I remember anything about myself? Or, about you and this Philza guy, I was told about.” You lifted Chat slightly toward Techno as a silent indication that Chat was the one who told you about Phil. “That’s uh… Phil’s field of expertise.” He rubbed the back of his head with his black-tipped fingers before adjusting his crown, “I don’t understand much of what happened, and Phil will tell you what you need to know that will keep you safe.” Hesitantly, he held his free hand out towards you making you realize that he was easily over seven and a half feet tall, “C’mon, I’ll take you to him and get you the answers you need.” His hand was extremely steady, you noticed as you stared down at it cautiously. Once you noticed that he didn’t seem to want to do you harm, you slowly shifted Chat into one hand and used your free hand to take the one extended to you, which you couldn’t help but notice, made Technoblade very happy, “Okay. Thank you.” The god held your hand in his calloused one for a few moments before beginning to lead you down the tan and white hallways that were turned a light golden hue from the rising sun. It was quite a long walk filled with a slightly uncomfortable silence, but you distracted yourself by looking around the palace curiously. It was obvious he was the God of War by how many swords hanging on walls and sets of armour he had placed on armour stands in the hallways. Eventually, he walked you through an archway that led into a wide-open room with multiple windows that had many crows perched on the windowsills, some chirping and singing some little tune in perfect unison while others shuffled around, seeming to do a little dance. You were quick to realize the whistling of one of the birds didn’t match up and noticed that it was coming from the man with the large white and green striped hat as well as massive black feathered wings dangling on his back, fluffing themselves up every so often. When you and Techno stepped in, the blackbirds started chirping loudly, losing the rhythm of the tune the winged man was whistling as Chat started telepathically squealing about… 2/4? Two out of four what? “Ah!” The hat-wearing male turned around and clasped his hands together upon seeing you standing up, “(Y/n), you’re awake. I was worried the injuries you sustained were enough to keep you out cold for a few more weeks. I’m glad to see I was wrong. I’m Philza, God of Survival and Crows, and I see you’ve met Chat and Techno. Pesky bird, I told it not to wake you...” You pursed your lips for a moment, analyzing the shorter god as the bird squealed out its protests. While he was shorter than Techno, he was certainly tall, standing roughly around six feet tall, his wingspan
probably double that for each wing! His blonde hair was long around his face but was pulled into a loose braid like Techno’s was, although instead of gold intertwined into his hair, it was silver. His outfit was made up of a loose green shirt and black pants, with a red heart-shaped pendant dangling off of a chain into the center of his chest. Why did that pendant… Look familiar? You slowly rose your hand up and clasped at the pendant around your neck, noticing how Philza smiled softly, “Technoblade… Said you could tell me why I can’t remember anything?” “You’re still wearing my gift, I see,” Philza gave a soft hum as Chat jumped from your hand and onto his shoulder, before gesturing for you and Techno to take a seat where he already had drinks and some form of cakes set out, but they certainly weren’t there when you came in. Upon seeing your confused blinking, he gave a soft laugh, “I’m a god, mate, magic is no difficult task for me, let alone creating some measly tea and desserts. Now, sit down and I will tell you everything…” - General - None Mortal of Gold -@generalalmond @binas-idea-vault @ohworm-writes

PLEEAASE 😭😭 I'm begging you for some hurt/comfort resolution for the last karlnapity x reader and sleepy bois brothers!! I just want them all to be happyyy. If the 3 lives was implemented, or if reader came back like ghostbur and the hurt is raw for the loved ones, the fallout and fixing, the love and regret i- (I loved the fic, your karlnapity are my favorite!! keep up the awesome work!! <3)
sapnap x karl x quackity x reader + sleepy boys x silbing!reader
trigger warnings: mention character death (it’s you, your the dead one) yelling, swearing,
requested by the anon above, another anon: “ngl after reading that angst fic I can picture y/n ( even tho I know y/n came back with knowing who the boys were ) coming back kinda like ghostbur knowing the boys voices but can't exactly place their names and who they are to them or something like that ?? idk my brain went think of more angst after that fic - also sorry this is just me rambling. love your work btw !!” 
as well as @tobiostfu @theprocrastinatingshipper @pastelvixenbeauty  and probably some more folks I might have missed
premise: this is a part two to the other angst thing from the other day, so I recommend you read that for context, this is a resolve (ish) to that 
(y/n/n)- your nickname
“blep”- talking
‘blep’ thinking
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You had drifted the lands of the SMP, and L’Manburg for sometime trying to remember what had happened, and why everyone was always yelling.
You’d try to talk to Karl, after Alex and Nick had left, but he just ignored you.
Now you were perched on the top of the stage, looking out ‘why are the walls gone?’, and then looking down, confused, at the strange, cage like structure built at the center.
You heard a sigh, and turned to see Eret looking up at the cage as well, you hopped down off the stage and concentrated, “Eret?”
They jumped, looking around, “What the hell?”
You screwed your eyes shut ‘please see me please see me please-’
“(y/n)?”
You opened your eyes to see Eret looking at you in shock, “Eret! I’m so glad to see you! Everyone’s been ignoring me lately, and acting like I’m not here, and I don’t get it.”
“(y/n)?” His voice was shaking.
“Yeah, Eret. It’s me!” You giggled, “What’s going on here? Did I miss the festival?”
“(Y/n).”
You looked at her confused, “Yeah. W- whats-”
“(y/n/n)?” A teary voice behind you called.
You grinned turning around, running to hug him, “Karl! I missed you! Why did you keep ignoring me?”
He began to cry as you sailed through him, “(y/n/n).”
“Karl? Karl love why are you crying? Eret what’s going on?”
Karl all but fell to his knee’s burring his head in his hands, muffling his sobs, “(y/n/n)!”
You sat beside him, continually trying to wrap your arms around him, but instead they just past through, over, and over, and over and over again, “Wh- why can’t I- what’s- what- Eret whats?”
Tears similar to Karl’s began to roll down your cheeks, as you looked down at your hands, only now noticing how gray your skin looked, “What’s going on?”
“(y/n),” You could tell Eret was fighting to keep their voice from shaking, “Do you not remember?”
“Remember what? What’s going on?”
Karl sobbed louder, and Eret shook her head, “(y/n), I- theres a path, through the woods, behind- up behind the hill. I- I need you to go up there, as far as it goes, alright?”
You nodded, “Why?”
“Just go. I’m going to take Karl back home. Maybe- maybe don’t come back to his house for a while.”
Eret gently helped Karl up, and led him away, his sobs still echoing in your head.
‘what the hell is going on here?’
Slowly you drifted up towards the hill Eret had spoken of, ‘hey, pogtopia is this way! maybe I’ll go see Wil an’ Tommy an’ Techno! They’ll know what’s going on.’
You continued to drift up the path, humming quietly and wondering what Eret had sent you to look at, and why Karl had been crying.
You looked up and around at all the trees, trying to remember them. It was in bits and pieces, Tommy yelling about about freedom, Wilbur saying how proud Phil would be.
You remembered the forests burning, ‘who had done that?’, hiding in the woods after- after something- tnt, blow- after L’manburg had been blown up.
You stopped moving, looking down confused at the stone you had come across, it as large, flat and upright, and you looked at the words confused.
‘(Y/n) brave beyond words, hero of L’manburg’ there were various flowers scattered around, a sword stuck out of the ground, a flower chain wrapped around it’s hilt, there was a uniform jacket, one you vaguely recognized as your own and a bandana, also tied to the hilt of the sword.
Someone dropped something, a sword, “(y/n)?”
“Techno! I missed you! Everyone down in L’manburg is being wierd and when I finally got Karl to stop ignoring me he just started crying, and there’s this weird thing up on the stage and the walls are gone, and Eret told me to come up here, and why is my name on this headstone?”
“(y/n/n) I’m sorry,” Your brother fell to his knees, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean too! They made me!”
“What are you talkin about Tech?”
“How are you back here? I’m sorry! This is my fault I did this to you!”
You were surprised to see your brother crying, “What’s wrong Techno?”
“You don’t remember?”
“(Y/n)?” Another voice asked.
You turned, looking at Wilbur, “Wilbur what’s going on? No one’s answering me again, and I’m scared that they can’t see me again! And I’m really confused and I made Karl cry and I don’t get it!”
“(y/n) your dead, you died, you- how are you?” Wilbur stuttered.
“Wha- wh- d- dead? What do you mean?” You watched as Wilbur carefully placed himself between you and a still crying Techno.
“You died, a few days ago. (y/n/n).”
You sank to the ground, fading away so that your brothers wouldn’t see.
~~ “So you don’t remember anything?” The man with the rams horns asked.
You shook your head, “Not everything. Just a lot of things. Wilby says I’m dead, which I guess makes sense now.”
You’d continue drifting around L’manburg, for a while, trying to figure out what had happened on your own, and ended up sitting dejectedly outside the white house, you could remember making it with Tubbo.
“Well I’m Shlatt.” He shuffled around in his desk, looking for something.
“Shlatt?” You paused, trying to remember him, pretending not to notice to see the fear that flashed in his eyes, “Your.. you were here before L’manburg right?”
“Yeah, uh, here.” He pulled out a book and quill, “Uh, write down what you remember, that might help.”
You looked at him quizzically, “I can’t touch things, uh- or manipulate objects in the normal world with out using huge amounts of energy.”
He frowned and quickly picked up the pen, “You dictate then.”
You hummed, “Well, things I remember....”
~~
Alex woke with a start, sitting up from where he was hunched over his desk, blinking at the harsh afternoon light that was drifting through his office window.
He still hadn’t been back to the house since the fight after the execution, and had been forcing himself into work to mask the grief.
“So is there anything else? It doesn’t seem like you remember much.” Shlatt’s voice was muffled by the wall.
“Well it’s a bit foggy towards the end, and the beginning Ooo! I remember Alex and Nicky and Karl too! I could never forget them!”
Alex froze at the familiar giggle.
“Yeah, you never used to shut up about your boyfriends.” Shlatt chuckled.
Alex was running down the hall and slamming the door to the presidents office open before he could register he was moving, “Shlatt am I going insane or...”
He trailed off as your floating grayish form turned to him, “Alex! I couldn’t find you! And I didn’t know what was going on and everyone was ignoring me then I saw Wil and Techno and they told me I was dead. and then I found Shlatt! And he’s helping me write down what I remember! Have you met Shlatt? He’s nice!”
“Shlatt what the fuck is this?” He spoke through you as if you weren’t even there.
“Your partner. Apparently no one around has been helping them sort things out,” The president stood up and moved around his desk, “Ghosts tend to forget things of there past lives, and no one was helping them, so I am.”
“Did you tell them what happened? Why there fuckin- floating around instead of being here with us?” Alex spat.
Shlatt sighed, “Quackity listen this is a delicate thing. Right now it’s be better to help them remember than just tell them. So go find your stupid boyfriends and tell them the situation!”
“I cant Shlatt, we broke up. They don’t want to see me.”
“Is that what you were yelling about?” You asked quietly.
Alex looked at you, shocked, “You heard that?”
“Yeah. You and Nick made Karl cry. And then I couldn’t do anything about it,” you looked down at the floor, “w- is it my fault y- we’re broken up now?”
Alex remained silent so you continued, “I’m trying to remember what I did. And how I died. But if I did something stupid, or something to hurt you, I’m sorry.”
You were crying again, and Shlatt glared at Alex, which somehow surprised you, “This is why is trying to fucking handle this. Leave. Tell the others or not I don’t care, they’ll find out eventually.”
“Wh- Shlatt they- How-”
“I said get out,” Shlatt said firmly, “At least let me try to fix things I’ve fucked up.”
Alex shook his head before turning and heading out of the office, only ducking into his own long enough to grab something before stalking out of the building.
Shlatt turned back to you, already starting to pick the pen back up, “So what else do you remember about.. uh, your last few days. What do you remember right before the end?”
“Did they really break up because of me? If I did something I should go apologized.”
“Hey, hey, no, it ain’t your fault. I’ll go yell at them later. Tell me more about what you remember about the festival.”
~~ “Why the fuck are we here Shlatt?” Tommy half yelled.
Tommy, Technoblade, Wilbur, Alex, Nick and Karl were all gathered in front of Shlatt in the holy land.
“So, some of you may know, some of you may not, (Y/n) is back,” He looked over all the faces, Karl already looking like he was about to cry, and Nick frozen in shock, “For the past week or so they’ve been wandering and apparently none of you have been doing anything to help them.”
“Ghosts don’t remember much from there past lives, so good job on all of you that knew, you left your partner or sibling lost and confused,” He dropped the book you’d written together on the table, “I did my best, they remember everything that's written down here. I couldn’t tell them much about what they forgot, because it’s not my place.
“If you guys want, I can keep talking to them, and doing my best, but incase you haven’t noticed I’m also the fucking president. I can’t spend all my time helping educate a ghost. They disappeared yesterday, after saying something about Karl and how they saw you fools yelling, so, this is in your court now.”
Shlatt turned a walked away, heading back towards Manburg.
With shaking hands Tommy took the book, reading aloud,
“Things I remember: Home, fire, Phil finding me, Wilbur never having seen a child before, Techno swearing he’d protect me, fire, Tommy trying to spar with me before he could walk right, Techno teaching me to fight, finding the SMP lands, L’manburg, fighting for independence, fire,
“the forests burning, seeing Nick for the first time, Babysitting Fundy, winning independence, Eret leaving, fire, destruction, L’manburg thriving, the sun, Tubbo and his bees, more people coming to the country, meeting Karl, finding Alex, when we got our act together and finally all started dating.
“Wil threatening Nick and nick not being scared, Techno threatening all of them and making them terrified. Pogtopia, the cavern The festival, the dunk tank, Techno almost crying, my boys, fire.”
He looked up at his brothers, “You knew they were back?”
“I was in shock,” Techno was staring at his boots, clearing his throat uncomfortably, “Y’know I swore I’d protect ‘em, but- I- I killed ‘em.”
Nick grabbed the book from Tommy, “We have to find them.”
~~
“Fundy can you turn the page for me please?”
The fox nodded, “Course (y/n).”
Most of the shock had worn off, and now he was mostly just happy to see you again, even going and finding an old photobook Wilbur had given him a while ago.
“Oh I remember this!” You pointed to a photo, it was taken a year after Phil had found you, “There was a big fire across the field, and while they were taking care of it I got scared and ran away, Techno found me in a tree.”
Fundy laughed, “3 year old you got in a tree by yourself?”
“Yeah, furball, I was in a tree when Philza found me too.” You chuckled.
“Hey Fundy, have you...” Niki burst in the door, tailing off as she saw you.
You waved “Hey Niki.”
“Uhh, Your brothers, and your partners are looking for you.”
You frowned, “Are they still my partners if I’m dead?”
Niki gave you a sad look, “Come on. Sapnap hasn’t seen you and he’s worried.”
“They all fought because of me, I’d rather stay here,” You looked out the door warily, “I don’t want to make things worse than they already are.”
“They need you (y/n), you brought them together.”
You drifted around Fundy and towards the door, “Making things worse isn’t something I want to do.”
You went through the door, past the group of people, making your form fade as much as possible so as not to be noticed, from there you wandered down to the docks, sitting on the edge to look over the channel.
“Phil sent a letter, said he’s devastated your gone, but overjoyed your still here.”
You looked up at Techno, “How’d you know I’d be down here?”  
“You always liked the water,” He chuckled, “Specially if there was a fire goin on somewhere else.”
“I don’t want to make things worse, if your here to take me back there.”
“I’m here to apologize. I know you don’t remember, but in case you do, I’m sorry, I had to do it.”
You laughed, “Your my big brother Tech, I doubt I’d be mad at you if I remembered.”
He smiled sadly, sitting down next to you, “Why do you think you’ll make things worse?”
You sighed, “Well when I first came back, I thought everyone was ignoring me. And when I found L’manburg again Karl and Nick and Alex were fighting about something I did, and then when Eret finally saw me Karl started crying, and then when I found you and Wilby you started crying and I just- I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”
Techno looked at you, “If anything it’s our fault. All of this.”
“Techno, can we talk to (y/n)?”
You froze at Nick’s voice, but your brother was already moving, and Your partners were taking his place.
“(y/n/n), we’re sorry-”
“Stop,” You cut Alex off, “Whatever’s happening stop. You can’t apologize to me for shit I did that I can’t remember.”
“(y/n/n), we aren’t apologizing for that, that's not even your fault. We’re apologizing for fighting as soon as you were gone.” Nick said.
“Please come back with us. Don’t disappear,” Karl’s voice was barley a whisper, “We can help you remember.”
You bit your lip, sobbing, “I don’t want to make things hard on you guys. I didn’t even want to come back like this! Before I woke up again, it was just darkness, and it was horrible. but somehow staying there for eternity seems better than this.”
All three sets of arms passed through you, all of your boyfriends forgetting they couldn’t hold you, only making you cry harder.
~~
“I want to be resurrected.”
It had been a week and a half since the day at the docks. You hadn’t gone back with them, though you had continued hanging around Manburg, talking mainly to Shlatt, and by now you just wanted to go back to the normal you remembered.
“Resurrected?” Dream looked at you curiously.
“Yeah. I want to go back. If I can’t stay dead the normal way and I’m stuck here then I want it to be normal. I want to hug my boyfriends, and ruffle my little brothers hair!”
The man behind the mask merely cocked his head, “So why did you come to me?”
“You’re essentially a god in these lands. I figured you might know someone or someway for me to be resurrected,” The mask shifted and you could almost here the plan formulating in his mind, “And if it ends up failing I don’t want it to hurt anyone else.”
The man sighed, “It would be a very complicated process. It’s been what, three weeks since you died, what ever was left of your body is going to be- less than in good condition.”
“What was left?” You questioned.
“Oh, (y/n), didn’t they tell you?”  Had the mask been gone you would have seen the gleam of wickedness in his eyes, “You went off with a bang.”
~~
“You’re planning what?” Shlatt yelled, incredulous.
You’d told Shlatt about the plan for resurrections, seeing as he was one of the only one who really still talked to you, “I have to do it Shlatt! I can’t stay like this! I want things to be normal! I want-” Your voice grew small, “I want to take back what you took from me.”
Fear flashed in the horned mans eyes, “He told you.”
“Even you wouldn’t,” You said dejectedly, “I thought you were my friend.”
“I- I was your friend, At some points at least.”
He watched as you floated away, “I suppose we’ll see once I’m back.”
As soon as you were gone Shlatt was hurrying out of his office, “Quackity! Quackity, some shit is about to hit the fan! You better call the idiots in Pogtopia!”
It didn’t take long for him to assemble your brothers and partners, frantically telling them the situation, “Dream is up to something with this people! He obviously is doing some manipulation shit!”
“Why do you even care Shlatt?” Tommy asked, “Your the bitch who killed them, so why should you care if they come back?”
“Sorry that the one time I’m willing to look past shit you don’t trust me?” He groaned, pulling a bottle from his coat and taking a swig, “Sorry that I’m trying to help.”
“How would he even turn this against us?” Nick asked, “Resurrections isn’t something he can do, he’d put Bad in charge of that, and we all know that Bad wouldn’t corrupt someone.”
“It’s possible that they won’t remember anything, at all, and people who’ve forgotten are the easiest to manipulate.” Shlatt sighed.
“We have to help them.” Karl decided.
~~
Darkness, darkness, darkness.
You had finally found your way back to that dark abyss, though now it was filled with strange chanting.
It felt like you were bein dragged across the length of the universe, losing everything of your being along the way.
‘stop! stop stop stop! I want- I want to remember’ you begged the darkness.
The hell you found yourself in seemed to stretch, continuing for infinity, the darkness, called you, begging you to stay, to give up the last of your essence to it.
The chanting grew louder as you tried to scream, the sound lodged in a throat that no longer existed.
All at once you became nothing, and then you felt the weight of a thousand suns crushing you back down into a body.
~~ Your eyes flicked open, to a blinding white world.
“It worked! There awake!” You heard Bad yell.
You started to smile as you heard Alex yell, “Get the fuck away from them Dream, you can’t manipulate anyone else!”
You sat up, starting to look around, but still, you saw nothing but light, “Alex? Wh- It- why can’t I see?”
“They remember!”  you heard Karl rejoice.
“Why can’t I see?” You asked again, raising your hands to your eyes.
“(y/n) what do you mean?” Nick asked.
“I can’t see.” You said desperately, reaching out you felt your boyfriends wrapping there arms around you.
“I think I know how to fix it!” Bad yelled triumphantly.
Everything went black again.
~~
This time, your trip through hell was not as bad, though you seemed not to notice as your existence and identify was striped away again.
~~ Your eyes flicked open, the feeling returned to your body, and slowly you sat up, looking around at the odd group of people gathered around you, “Who are you?”
As soon as the world came out of your mouth a mousy haired man in a colorful sweater burst into tears, the man with the beanie next to him quickly pulling him into a hug.
“I- Who are you?”
“Do you not remember?”  
You shook your head, “Remember what?”
you turned to the pink haired man, “I know you don’t I? I swear- I- I know I know you. Why don’t I remember you?”
A demonic looking man quickly closed a book, “You guys should clear out. a third party might be better for this.”
~~ The man- Bad, had explained basics of things to you, who everyone who’d been in the room before, and the said that you would have to stay at his house in the Badlands for a few days.
The next day was better.
‘holy shit it worked!’ you thought, looking down at your arms, ‘I’m back’
Quietly you got out of the bed, rushing through the room and towards the stairs of Bad and Skeppy’s house, “Guys! Guys it worked! I’m alive again!”
You turned another corner to see you brothers, looking at you shocked, “(y/n)? You remember?”
You grinned, quickly pulling your brother into a hug, “It wasn’t your fault Techno! You didn’t mean to it’s okay!”
“(y/n/n)?”
You turned again, “Karl! Nicky! Alex!”
The next thing you knew you were in a pile on the ground, your boyfriends all hugging you tightly.
~~
They brought you home soon after, and from there you had good days and bad days.
There were days where you remembered it all, days where you found yourself lost and confused in an unknown house, and days where you could on recognize certain things around you.
Still, you were back with Nick and Karl and Alex, and you would make it through, together.

careful son (you got dreamer's plans)
Wilbur gasps back to life with mud between his fingers and rain in his eyes.
Wilbur was dead. Now, he is not. He can't say that he's particularly happy about it.
Unfortunately, the server is still as tumultuous as ever, even with Dream locked away, so it seems that his involvement in things isn't a matter of if, but when.
(Alternatively: the prodigal son returns, and a broken family finally begins to heal. If, that is, the egg doesn't get them all killed first.)
Chapter Word Count: 7,295
Chapter Warnings: swearing, injury, blood, aftermath of (temporary) character death, mild disassociation, slight s.uicidal ideation, references to past abuse
Chapter Summary: The emotional fallout is intense, but they don’t have time to stop and deal with it. Wilbur doesn’t particularly like where they decide to hole up, but beggars can’t be choosers.
(masterlist w/ ao3 links)
(first chapter) (previous chapter) (next chapter)
Chapter Twelve: nowhere to run
The sun is too bright in his eyes. Too bright, and wrong, somehow, that it should be shining like this. Should still be shining, after the loss they’ve just suffered, after watching his brother crumple to dust in front of him. But the sun hardly cares for things like that, so they all stumble out of the hole in the ground that serves as the entrance to the spider spawner and beyond, and the daylight surrounds them, unforgiving.
“Where do we go, what do we do,” Tubbo is chanting, and Ranboo is muttering under his breath, a continuous litany of, “I can’t believe he’s gone, I can’t believe that happened—” His own lips feel glued shut, his throat devoid of sound. His skin buzzes.
(the two images interpose: Techno hanging from the vine, head at an unnatural angle, Techno wavering on his feet, blood pouring from his throat, and there is a flash of light and there is ash all at once, as if the first caused the second, as if instead of healing him, shoving his soul back into a body clinging to life, the totem burned him up from the inside out, and unlike the phoenix there was no rebirth)
“We can’t stay here,” Puffy says. Her eyes are wide, and her hands are shaking, but her voice has the same determined cant to it as it always does. “We need somewhere to hole up.”
“And where is that supposed to be?” Sapnap demands. His breathing is unsteady. “Where the fuck are we supposed to go after that? Where isn’t the thing gonna be able to reach? With, with Dream being, being, what even was that? Why was he—how was he—?” He breaks off, sparks crackling at his fingertips, and his face is a mask of distress, of questions
(was he always like that and did I not see or did something happen to him did something make him like that is that my friend or is there something inside of him something behind his eyes that is not him at all and if that is the case how did I not notice how did I not notice how did I not save him)
that Wilbur feels he recognizes. Or would, if he let himself. If he let himself care.
His eyes drift over to Phil. Phil, who stands silently, blood dripping from his wings, a thousand old injuries reopened by thrashing thorns. Who stands with Tommy in his arms, Tommy, who is curled up as tightly as he can reasonably manage, his face tucked into Phil’s shirt. Trembling. Quiet.
(he will die and I will kill him, the Egg says, and I have already begun, and you cannot protect him, you do not have the strength, except by what I can grant you)
“Church Prime,” Puffy says. “It’s the only place that might be safe.”
“Who’s to say it would be?” Sapnap snaps. “You saw it in there! The vines have never moved like that before, and Prime knows what else it can do now. And maybe the Egg wouldn’t be able to get in, but who’s to say that would stop—” He cuts off again, face contorting.
His leg is beginning to hurt, now. All of him is, actually, now that his adrenaline is wearing thin, now that the horror is sinking in, but it’s concentrated in his leg in particular, and he looks down to see that his left pant leg is all but shredded, blood dripping down in steady streams and splattering on the grass by his feet. The vines got him worse than he thought, then, and he bites his lip against the sting.
He’s had worse, though. He’s had so much worse. This is practically nothing, and Puffy and Sapnap are still arguing, and Tubbo and Ranboo are huddled together, eyeing the vines around them with deep suspicion, unmoving as they are just yet, and Phil is silent, and he’s going to stay silent, because Wilbur recognizes all too well the strain in his eyes, the way he’s holding onto Tommy with a death grip.
(he’s watched two of his sons die, now, and Techno will be back, will still have two lives left, but that does not heal the hurt, does not assuage the pain of seeing your brother, your son, your family die in front of your eyes before you can lift a finger to stop it, and Phil’s eyes shine with a grief almost beyond what Wilbur can understand. except he understands all too well, in the end)
He’s had worse, and someone needs to step up.
(the old mantle settles across his shoulders, and if he closes his eyes it’s like nothing’s changed at all, and the sun sets on the city he is determined to give everything for, still standing, walls still strong)
“Boxed in like a fish,” he croaks, and Puffy and Sapnap turn to him as one. “That’s what we’ll be, if we go to Church Prime. Whether it protects us in the moment of not won’t matter once we run out of supplies. We need somewhere better situated. Somewhere we can defend, that might withstand a siege, if it comes to it.”
Puffy makes a frustrated gesture. “I’m open to suggestions,” she says. “The prison, maybe, if we have to? We could probably keep people out as easily as—ah, shit, Sam.” She pulls her communicator out and taps out a quick message, and then frowns. “It’s telling me it can’t go through. Why isn’t it going through? Sam had all three lives, he should be—”
“Admins can read private messages,” Phil murmurs. “Wouldn’t surprise me if Dream could fuck with the whole system, whatever the fuck he is.”
Wilbur reads between the lines. Techno, for the moment, is unreachable. He processes the information and moves on, refusing to let it get to him, refusing to let himself be overpowered by
(Techno’s unreachable Techno’s unreachable Techno’s respawned and he’s on his own and they can’t talk to him can’t get to him quickly and what if something went wrong what if something happened)
emotions.
“Sam will make his way to us,” he says. “I’m vetoing the prison. Like hell are we staying in there. Other thoughts?”
“What gives you vetoing power?” Sapnap asks.
“Somebody needs to make a decision,” he says, and it is with strength he doesn’t feel, confidence he is only pretending at, a force of command that comes from some unknown place, since he feels as though he is miles away from himself, “and I don’t see you coming up with anything. Either help or stop complaining.”
Sapnap’s face reddens, and he opens his mouth, to argue, no doubt, but then Ranboo breaks in with, “Foolish, maybe?” and hunches his shoulders when attention turns to him. “Sorry, it’s just, I’m pretty sure Foolish isn’t, um, a big fan of the Egg or anything, so maybe he could help?”
Wilbur has no idea who the fuck Foolish is.
“Nah, he’s too far out,” Tubbo says. “It’ll take ages to get to his place. And we need somewhere close, but not too close, so we still have a good place to fight back from, right, Wilbur? If we leave now, the Egg’ll just take over the whole SMP with nothing to stop it.”
“My thoughts exactly, Tubbo,” he says, and again, it is just like the old days, and they are standing atop the L’Manberg walls, and Tubbo has just said something particularly clever, and warmth and pride curl in him before he remembers where they are, what they’re doing. They need to decide, and soon. They’re just hanging around near the entrance, and sooner or later, someone’s going to come after them, whether they let them go at first or not. “Is there anyone else who has a good position, location-wise and resource-wise?”
“Wait,” Puffy says. “Eret’s castle.”
“Eret’s castle doesn’t have doors,” Sapnap says.
“No, but I stopped by earlier to see if they wanted to join us,” Puffy says. “They weren’t there, but the grounds were completely free of vines. And sure, there aren’t any doors, but between all of us, I’m sure we could make some. Eret’s got plenty of supplies, last I checked.”
Eret. The name evokes a wealth of associations, most of them unpleasant. His first instinct is to reject this idea like the last, to avoid placing their lives in the hands of one who has already betrayed him, who led them all into a death trap, who almost ended their revolution in one fell swoop. But Puffy has a point. Eret’s castle ticks all the right boxes: it’s defendable, well-supplied, and if there are no vines to clear, all the better. They’ll have to build doors, but between the lot of them, that’s easily manageable.
(a wealth of associations and many unpleasant but there is Eret offering them supplies offering their fragile rebellion help and they tried so dearly to redeem themself and he could not have seen that then wrapped in his own shadows as he was but perhaps he can see it now perhaps he can better appreciate it, give a little more benefit of the doubt, and if he is given a second chance after everything after committing the worst crime of all then who is he to deny them absolution?)
(another memory, more blurry: he is scared but stalwart as they go through the motions, and he does not want to die, is terrified of that endless void, but he knows that the server needs a leader and his living self must be that leader, and Eret is here, and Eret agrees, and Eret acts out their part, and Eret is trying so hard, and he cannot see their eyes behind their glasses but he imagines that if he could, he would see a fool’s hope in them)
“Eret, then,” he says. “We go to Eret.”
And no one disagrees. It’s strange. They have no reason to listen to him, really. They have far more reasons not to listen to him, more reasons to think that following his lead will end in disaster than otherwise. But Puffy nods, and Sapnap backs down, and Tubbo and Ranboo both look to him for direction like it’s the war and he’s in charge of child soldiers once again. Phil looks to him, too, but his expression is inscrutable, and only a slight tightness around his eyes shows that he’s in any pain at all.
So they go to Eret. Staggering through the grass, tripping over vines that still don’t move, thank Prime, and then along the Prime Path, and his leg hurts worse with every step, pain jolting up into his hip, it seems, and it’s not long before he’s walking with a limp. But they’re all hurt in some way, so he hides it as best he can. He can deal with it when they’re safely behind stone walls.
And then, Tommy says, “Put me down, I can walk.”
Wilbur glances over. Tommy’s face is still buried in Phil’s shirt.
“You sure, mate?” Phil asks softly.
“Yes, I’m fucking sure,” Tommy snaps, louder now, turning his face outward, pushing against Phil’s chest. His cheeks are flushed, his breaths coming short and fast, and he’s trying to pass it off as anger, and maybe part of it is. But Wilbur knows him better than to think that that’s all. Knows him better than to think that he would have let Phil carry him in the first place if he was alright.
“Okay, then,” Phil says, and swings Tommy down. Tommy wavers for a step, but slaps away Phil’s hand when he extends it, muttering a sharp, “Fuck off.”
And then they keep going. Tommy doesn’t say anything else. Wilbur keeps glancing at him, but he’s refusing to meet anyone’s gaze, even Tubbo’s. And—that’s another thing that’s going to have to wait. He wants nothing more than to stop now and make sure that Tommy’s going to be okay, but they don’t have time, and the general in him will not call for a halt until the retreat is over, until he is sure the enemy is not biting at their heels.
(retreating from Dream once again, and it is familiar and not, the same and not, and history runs in a circle, echoes and rhymes)
Eret’s courtyard is indeed free of vines, just as Puffy promised. Wilbur half-expects them to be nowhere in sight, based on what Puffy said, but they are standing right there, next to a skeletal horse they’re frantically saddling, and they’re checking their communicator every now and again, with the jerky motions of someone who doesn’t particularly want to but can’t make themself stop.
Then, suddenly, they look up at the sky. Wilbur follows their gaze to the flock of crows wheeling overhead, a dark mass of beating wings, each bird barely distinguishable from the others. All of them completely, eerily silent.
Eret stands there a moment. Just staring. Wilbur can’t tell what the look on their face is, but their shoulders are tense. And then, they look back down, and realize that the lot of them are there, stumbling in under the gate, and they visibly startle.
“Hey, Eret,” Puffy says, before they can get a word in. “Can we crash? And build some gates?”
“What,” Eret says. “What is—Puffy, what is going on? How did Dream manage to kill Sam and Technoblade? Is he—” They run a hand through their hair, and then start striding forward, their cape flaring out behind them. They haven’t said anything about him yet, haven’t reacted to his presence. “He’s out, isn’t he? I was going to come and see, but he’s out?”
“He’s out,” Puffy agrees. “We were kind of hoping you’d help us out on this one.”
“Of course,” they say quickly. “Of course, anything you—anything you need.” They’re rattled, clearly, more than Wilbur has ever seen them, perhaps. “I just—how did this happen? I thought the prison was secure, I thought—are you all okay?”
“Aside from the obvious?” Puffy says. “Yeah, we’re great. You haven’t been around much lately, I don’t know how much you know about the Egg and all of that, but that’s an issue too, along with Dream. And some other stuff that I’ve got no idea about, that we really just kind of need to all sit down and talk about.”
“The Egg? I’ve—I’ve heard of it, I think. I’ve been elsewhere for a while.” Their lips twist into a smile that isn’t quite a smile. “Doing a bit of soul-searching, you might say. Found more questions than answers, unfortunately. Alright. I can get you all whatever you need, you can absolutely stay here if that’s what you’d like, but what was that about gates?”
Right. This is taking too long.
Wilbur still feels a bit outside of his body as he steps forward, but that’s alright. He’s limping, but the pain is distant, and he can let his brain work on autopilot, let his mouth move on its own without regarding the consequences, without thinking too much about
(this is Eret and you know them and they betrayed you and you hurt them and now you’re back and here is a test here is a true test it shouldn’t matter how they react to you you shouldn’t care for their opinion but you do you know you do though you pretend you don’t pretend they’re nothing but a traitor to you but you are a traitor to yourself and you know that between the two of you you are the worse and here you both are and you only need one more and everyone will be back together again like the old days like the old days those good old days)
what happens next.
“Right, then,” he says, straightening his spine and stepping up to be visible just behind Puffy, to the side and a few feet back. Eret’s head whips toward him. “To summarize: the Egg is bad, Dream is also bad, they’re now working together, also with Bad, Techno is gone, we’re all in rough shape, a mind-controlling potentially demonic entity is likely to try to take over the server, and also, I’m here, despite my best efforts. Does that paint enough of a picture for you, or should I elaborate further?”
Eret stares at him. He stares back, doesn’t let himself fidget. He’s putting the general on display, and it has never felt more like a disguise, like yet another mask,
(and didn’t he tell Tommy he wasn’t going to do this anymore?)
but a familiar one, one that’s almost comfortable. He can force himself into the general’s shoes and worry about tactics and battles and numbers and strategy, and tuck the rest of himself away for when there’s time for it. Can think of this as just another alliance to be made, a debriefing to be held rather than
(Eret traitor friend ally enemy the place in your heart is curdled and sour and you do not know if you are capable of starting anew)
and his losses are statistics and cold facts rather than
(Techno’s eyes golden and glittering and then they go dim and pale red pale and staring the light in your brother’s eyes gone out and it is not the first time you have watched a brother die in front of you but Technoblade never dies is never supposed to die never to go to dust never and you cannot make sense of it cannot make sense of the world turned on its head)
“Wilbur?” Eret asks, after a very long moment, and he doesn’t understand why their voice breaks in the way that it does. “You’re—it’s you? Not Ghostbur?”
He spreads his arms, lifting an eyebrow.
“Do I look like Ghostbur to you?” he asks.
“No,” Eret answers right away. “No, that you do not. Um, has this been a thing, or…?” They trail off, and Wilbur can’t figure out exactly what their feelings are, but it’s too late to back down, even if he wanted to.
“For a bit,” he says. “Not for too long. Can we move on? We’ve got bigger issues to deal with at the moment.”
He means multiple things, with that. He means, there’s bigger things to worry about than why I’m here. He means, there’s bigger things to worry about than our history, and as so long as we’re on the same side for the moment, it can’t matter right now. He doesn’t know if Eret catches all of that, but whether they do or not, they nod, seeming to steady themself.
“Of course,” they say. “I—for the record, it is good to see you, Wilbur.” There is genuine relief in their voice, a tone that says they’re actually glad he’s here, more than glad, even, and he really doesn’t have time to unpack that at the moment. They need a plan, and fast, and they need some goddamn gates. And medical attention, probably. The cut on Puffy’s head looks nasty, and Phil’s wings are still dripping blood, and it’s difficult for Wilbur to look at them for too long,
(grief rises up guilt rises up crushing choking your father is grounded and it is your fault)
but it concerns him, how little Phil appears to care for their current state. So there’s that to handle, and it’s almost too much, almost. Almost too much for someone who has spent the majority of the time since he’s been brought back to life cringing away from meeting people, all the confidence he once displayed gone, shrinking, left in the void or in Pogtopia or on the podium from which he announced his own defeat, perhaps. But even still, he remembers how to be the general. He can hide in the general, present the general on the outside, be useful even while he thinks he might be on the verge of collapse, internally. He has been a general, and so he shall be again.
What comes first, then?
He pulls out his comm, scrolling through the messages. There are quite a few in the general chat from just after Sam’s death message, people from all over the server demanding to know what’s going on. His eyes drift over Techno’s, then, and he winces, but keeps reading. There are even more messages after that, capitalization usage increasing dramatically, and his eyes trace over familiar names, a pang in his heart. Niki. Fundy. Quackity. Several from Eret as well. Some from names he doesn’t recognize, like this Foolish person, and someone named Hannah.
But then, they all cut off. There have been none in the past half hour. Since they escaped from the Egg.
Out of curiosity, he taps out a few words: dream and egg have teamed, regrouping at eret’s. Upon hitting send, the screen goes fuzzy, giving him an error message he’s never seen before. So comms truly are down, then, and it’s probably just as well; Dream likely knows where they are, but if he doesn’t, there’s no reason to give him the information.
(and do these old allies old friends deserve to learn of your return from cold words on a screen do you not have the courage to face them yourself face your son your son you have not seen your son)
(the last time he spoke to Fundy, he disowned him. he doesn’t know if he still has a son)
(if he does not, he has no one to blame for himself, and perhaps that is why he is too cowardly to check)
“Right, then,” he says, looking back up. “Gates are the first priority. They might not do much against whatever the fuck that thing is, but it’s better than nothing. Eret, I assume you’d know the best way to go about it?”
Eret’s lips quirk into a slight smile, one that is, perhaps, slightly sardonic.
“It is my castle,” they agree. “The more hands I have, the quicker it will go, but I can get it done.”
“Anyone who’s not bleeding profusely, help them with that, then,” he says. “Anyone who is bleeding profusely—I assume you’ve got pots somewhere, Eret?” Eret nods, gesturing toward the inside. “Anyone who is bleeding profusely gets a pot. Once we’ve got that all covered, we’ll reconvene, come up with a plan for where to go from here. Everyone got that?”
He gets a few nods, and no one dissents, so he’ll take that as a yes. His gaze travels to the kids then, standing clumped together, and Tommy’s eyes are still shadowed, and Tubbo is shifting his weight between his feet, and Ranboo looks lost, awkward, and he wishes he didn’t have to ask anything more of them. But that’s not how wars work, and this has certainly turned into a war.
(child soldiers once again, and how history echoes)
“Tubbo, Ranboo, I want you on the gates as well,” he says, and tries to soften his tone at least a little bit, even if that’s all he can do. “And then afterward—Tubbo, I need you to go through with all of us exactly what you know about—what did you call them? Dreamons?”
Tubbo looks slightly miserable, but he nods. “Right,” he says. “I can try to ward the gates if you want. With, um, anti-demon stuff. I don’t know if it’ll work. I guess last time we didn’t manage to do much of anything at all.”
“Anti-what,” Eret says, but Wilbur shakes his head.
“We don’t have time for that. Tubbo will explain later. We—”
“The fuck am I supposed to do, then?” Tommy breaks in, crossing his arms. “You haven’t given me a job.” He glares, but it is so very obvious that it’s all a front, all a show, and Tommy’s expression dares him to challenge him, but Wilbur thinks that if he does, he just might break something in him. Tommy has always been so much more fragile than he presents himself as, so much more fragile than he likes to believe he is.
(despite it all, despite it all, he is only sixteen, only a child, a child grown old before his time but a child nonetheless, and now a child who watched his brother die for him, an estranged brother perhaps but still a brother, and Tommy has always cared so much and so deeply, no matter how much he pretends otherwise)
He hasn’t given Tommy a job, and he doesn’t really intend to, because Tommy, of all people, needs to sit the fuck down and rest for a moment. They all deserve a break, but in this moment, Tommy is the one who needs it most, and also the one least likely to accept as much.
If the general gives the order, Tommy will follow it, he knows that much,
(because he made his brother into a soldier he made his brother into a soldier and soldiers follow orders)
even if he’ll be angry at him for it, but Tommy angry with him is a sacrifice he’s willing to make. And perhaps directing his anger at him will help. Perhaps it would be better for Tommy to be angry with someone within reach rather than someone out of it.
(because Tommy is hurting, and the cause of that hurt is not here, and so perhaps if Wilbur offers himself he’ll feel better, will feel more in control, because Tommy needs control, because his abuser is out, is wandering free, and his abuser has killed their brother and told him that it is his fault)
But then, Phil breaks his silence.
“I’d like him to stick with me,” he says, with a smile that is obviously strained. “I’m not going to be able to reach everything myself.” He makes a vague gesture toward his wings, still dripping blood, and there is so much of it already drying on his feathers, sticky, tacky, almost blending in with the darkness of the feathers
(but stark against the grey-white of exposed bone)
“Why the actual shit—” Tommy starts.
“Good idea, Phil,” he cuts him off. “Tommy, help him with the wings, would you?”
“Why do I have to—”
“You too, Wil,” Phil says, and his mood sours immediately. “You think I don’t see that leg? C’mon, Eret, show us to the pots.”
When faced with that, he has no choice but to agree, really.
(he wouldn’t have ignored it. he wouldn’t have. He knows better than to leave a wound untreated in wartime. Even if something whispers at him that he deserves the pain, even if the bite of it brings him closer to reality. But his better sense knows: pain is not the penance that is asked of him, not a recompense that will do anyone any good)
**********
They meet again half an hour later in Eret’s throne room. Half an hour later, and his leg is bandaged and tender and no longer an open wound, and Tommy is frowning and refusing to meet anyone’s eyes, and the state of Phil’s wings is still bothersome, because he didn’t let either of them touch them beyond what was necessary,
(and he recollects countless nights spent running his fingers through soft, silken feathers as his father told him how to preen them, told him that it was a sign of trust, an activity that only family, only flock is allowed, and now Phil will no longer let them near him, will no longer even take care of them himself and it makes him sick to his stomach to think of what has been lost)
but they are no longer bleeding, and that has to be what matters.
The throne room is not the best location for this, he thinks. It feels awkward. But it’s a room big enough to fit everyone, which is the point, big enough to fit Puffy, presence looming and forehead now bandaged, to fit Sapnap, fidgety as he is, like a caged, snarling animal, all restless energy. Big enough for Tubbo, for Tommy, for Ranboo, for Phil, for Eret and for himself, and big enough that there is an obvious gap at Phil’s right side where someone else should be standing.
Eret eyes her throne, glances at everyone else in the room, and then seats herself at its base. It’s a pithy gesture, meaningless, but Wilbur has more important things to do than to call her out on it, even though the existence of the throne itself grates against him.
“Let’s call this meeting to order, then,” he says, and Eret frowns. Perhaps she doesn’t like that he’s calling the shots in her own
(ill-gotten, dearly kept)
castle, but tough. He’s brought out the general for all of their sakes, so the general is what they’re all going to get.
(it’s a mask again and masks crack but he can keep it up for long enough he can he can they need a leader so he will lead he will lead them)
(you were so good at compartmentalizing, once, go good at shoving it all away in boxes in dark shadowy corners never to be opened to gather dust and cobwebs and faded recollections but the boxes cracked and the demon’s escaped and Pandora was too weak to stop them and it all ended in a bang and he cannot tell if hope remains but that isn’t the point because the box is opened and once opened it is not so easily closed and you are putting on a show a lie and lies come back around again they always do and you should know better than to pretend at strength you do not have you will lead them to ruin again ruin and gunpowder smoke and what gives you the right)
“Yeah, alright,” Puffy says. “Can we start by talking about—whatever that was? What were you talking about, dreamons? What’s a dreamon?”
“That sounds like a made up word,” Tommy mutters.
“I wish it were made up,” Tubbo says, and he winces when all eyes turn to him. But a moment later, he straightens, setting his shoulders squarely, holding his head up high. “I’ll tell you all what I know. Even if that turns out to be not as much as I thought.” He pauses, clearly struggling for words.
“Start from the beginning,” he suggests, and Tubbo nods at him gratefully.
“Okay, right, the beginning,” he says. “In the very beginning, me and Fundy were messing around, and we found some old books. We went through them for a laugh, and we learned about these things called dreamons.”
“Wait, that’s what they’re actually called?” Tommy interjects. “Like, properly?”
Tubbo shrugs. “It’s what the books said,” he says. “We weren’t about to argue over names. Even if it did seem like a weird coincidence. But yeah, that’s what they’re called.” His voice falls into an odd cadence here, recitative, like he’s telling a story, and Wilbur crosses his arms, gripping at his elbows. “They come from the darkness of the void, lurking around the edges of a server’s code. Once they get in, their only goal is to cause chaos and destruction. They corrupt everything they touch, and they can possess people and turn them into their puppets. They have unknowable powers, because they’re a sickness, a rot, like an infection in the code of the server itself. It’s really, really difficult to get rid of them, but it can be done if you have the right tools. Or—” He blinks, stuttering a bit, his voice landing more naturally. “We thought so, anyway.”
“What does this have to do with Dream?” Sapnap asks, stopping his pacing, looking to Tubbo with an expression in his eyes that hurts to look at, a bit, wobbly and desperate and pinched, like he already knows the answer but hopes that he’s wrong, hopes as much as he is able, even though he knows it will be fruitless.
Wilbur has put the pieces together. As best he can, anyway. And Sapnap’s not a stupid man. He can see where this is leading.
“Dream got possessed.” Tubbo sighs, gaze drifting toward the floor. “It was a whole thing. Honestly, we were surprised nobody else noticed. But we—we performed an exorcism. And it was really scary, to be honest. But it worked. We could see it leave, all oozy and black and gross, and Dream was better afterward! He was! So we thought we got it out.”
“But it tricked you?” he asks.
“I don’t understand how it could have,” Tubbo replies. “It’s not—it’s not like the kind of possession that you see in a TV show, where the demon can pretend to be the person or something like that. It’s obvious. It’s too—it’s too wrong to blend in, if that makes sense. It made his voice go all funny and deep, and the way it moved—” He shudders, and then continues, miserably, “The way it moved, there’s no way you could mistake something like that for a human. That’s why we were so sure it worked. Because afterward, he seemed back to normal.”
Something about this doesn’t make sense.
“Tubbo,” he says, wheels spinning in his mind, “when was this?”
Tubbo blinks. “Manberg days,” he says. “Um, that’s why we never told you about it, I suppose.”
He barely bats an eye at the reference. It doesn’t make sense. Because he has sensed that wrongness, as Tubbo puts it, has been sensing it from the moment he set foot in that prison cell for the first time. On some level, he knew that something was deeply wrong, even if a demonic presence was the last thing he would have guessed. But if the whole thing happened during—during that time, and the signs of possession were as obvious as Tubbo says, he would have noticed, wouldn’t he? He had plenty of interactions with Dream during that time.
(unless his own shadows stretched long, stretched far enough to cover Dream’s, to cover the thing piloting him)
But no—his shadows were of his own making, not supernatural. If anything, his mindset should have made him more receptive to suspicious wrongness, not less. So what—
(Dream smiles, and you know what it’s like, to have something whispering in your head, he says, once you let something in, there’s no going back)
“Maybe the first bit was a fakeout,” Phil suggests, arms folded, head tilted. He’s perplexed, which is worrying; it’s rare to come across a being that Phil knows nothing about. “It made itself obvious to lure you in so it could slip under the radar. Faked leaving to put your guard down, maybe.”
It’s plausible. But somehow
(and Dream stands atop the Egg and he says, he says, I tried to fight at first, but it turns out it was right all along, and he says it he says it like it’s separate from him like there is not something else something other speaking from his mouth after all and he tried to fight it he tried to fight it and what does that mean)
“They’re the same,” he breathes, and doesn’t know what he means, not quite yet, “they’re the same, and the Egg controls people, and he was talking about fighting something, about giving in—”
He runs a hand through his hair. Shakes his head.
“Wil?” Phil asks.
“Oi, Wilbur,” Tommy says, almost at the same time. But he needs to—he needs to focus as the pieces click into place, faster than he can process, and he has a conclusion but not the words yet—
He holds up a hand.
“Tubbo,” he says, “you said it can corrupt things. What did you mean by that?”
“I dunno, really,” he says. “It talked about it in the books some, but it was all weird metaphorical language. Couldn’t really makes sense of it. We were more focused on the bits that told us how to get rid of them.”
(he says, you know what the void is like, and Tubbo says that they come from the void, and)
That’s alright. He’s not sure he needs a hard answer to that, because he thinks that if one were to describe the feeling of the corruption, it would be
(it is dark and it is peaceful and there is static at the edges eating away at what makes him himself eating at his soul at his sense of self and it is what he wants, to be nothing, and he does not imagine what it would feel like if it were not what he desired, if he tried to resist it, resist the void all-consuming, all-devouring, resist the void that takes all things into itself and is never satiated)
something familiar.
“Alright,” he says, and steeples his fingers together. “Let me paint a picture for you. Someone gets possessed. You exorcise the thing. But these things can corrupt, you say. So maybe you get rid of the thing itself. Maybe Dream’s pretty much back to normal. But maybe it leaves little bits of itself behind. Maybe he’s not possessed, but maybe that doesn’t matter so much anymore. Maybe it changed him regardless. Maybe it’s still changing him, even though it’s no longer there. Maybe a corruption took root, and there wasn’t any going back from it.” He tilts his head, closes his eyes. “Suppose that the Egg is the same type of thing. Something that forced its way through the cracks of the server, something that’s been smart about it, biding its time. The things that Dream was saying reminded me a lot of what the Egg was doing, you know? Manipulating people, making them into things they aren’t, or into their worst selves.”
He strings the words together as he goes. He’s not sure he’s getting his point across. He used to be so much better at this.
“Wait, so you’re saying you think he isn’t possessed?” Sapnap asks.
“I’m saying we don’t really know,” he answers. “Not unless we get it from him. But Tubbo’s the expert here, and if he says Dream’s not acting like he’s possessed, I believe him. But even if he’s not possessed outright, that doesn’t mean there’s no—influence, perhaps.” He keeps his eyes shut; the darkness on the back of his eyelids is a natural one, but he can almost pretend that it isn’t. That it is darker, deeper.
(void)
“He was right that I know what it’s like,” he says. “I’ve felt the Egg in my head. And I was in the void for—a long time. It felt like forever. I know what it feels like, and there’s some of it in him, I think. Him and the Egg both. They’re the same kind of wrong, the same kind of unbelonging. I’ve never been possessed by a demon before, but if it’s made up of void stuff, that’s the sort of thing that stays with you. Whispering.”
He opens his eyes. Everyone is staring at him, varying expressions of horror on their faces.
He goes back over his words. In retrospect, he can see how they probably came off sounding.
“Wil,” Phil says softly.
“I’m fine,” he says, not at all convincingly, he’s sure.
(once he starts thinking of the void of the peace and of the rest it’s hard to stop even though his desires are now tinged with red and he knows better than to listen but he cannot help himself)
“This is all speculation, anyway,” he continues. “Might not matter at all, in the end, what the particulars are. We just need a way to stop them. Can dreamons be killed, Tubbo?”
Tubbo takes a moment before replying. “I don’t think so,” he says. “Fundy might remember better. But I think the only thing in what we read was the exorcism.”
“Which doesn’t help us much if Dream’s not actually possessed,” Puffy says. “Unless it might work on the Egg? If the Egg’s a—a dreamon too?”
“Worth a shot if we can get to it again,” he says, “but I don’t like risking so much on a maybe.”
“The less we mess with forces beyond our understanding, the better,” Eret says suddenly. She frowns, pushing her sunglasses further up her face. “As I said earlier, I’ve been away a good bit recently, so I haven’t been tracking the Egg’s progress as much as perhaps I should have. But I did notice an increase in activity—well. It was shortly after we tried to resurrect you, Wilbur.” She inclines her head toward him. “I fear that in our efforts, we might have interfered with something we shouldn’t have interfered with. Weakened a barrier of some kind, between our existence and—something else.”
She speaks with a strange kind of gravity. But her words make an unfortunate kind of sense.
He doesn’t look at Phil.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Tommy states. “What the fuck does that even mean?”
“I’m with Tommy on this one. What are you talking about?” Sapnap adds.
“We’re getting off track,” he says, snapping his fingers. “We’re going about this wrong. We don’t have enough information, and we don’t have enough power. Those are our problems. How do we solve them?”
“The obvious would be to get the word out,” Puffy says. “Comms are down, but we can go by word of mouth if we have to. Kinda risky, with the amount of vines on this server, but the nether portal’s right across the way. No vines in the nether, I think.”
“I have lots of old books myself,” Phil chimes in, eyes skyward. “Might be something in there to help that I’ve read and forgotten about. And I’ve got another source of info I’ve barely begun to go through. Old shit I found. It might be worth a shot.” He looks back down. “We need to go get Techno anyway.” He says the last in a tone that brooks no argument, and Wilbur doesn’t try, even if it’s perhaps not the most tactically sound option.
(he wants Techno back too, wants to lay eyes on him, hold his wrist in his hand and count his heartbeats, each one a reassurance, because he knows what it is for a brother to die and come back but that has never made it easier)
“It’s better than nothing,” he says. “Alright, I’ve got a plan, then. Some of us go to the tundra, get Technoblade, and go through whatever books Phil has. Some stay here and fortify the defenses as best we can using what Tubbo can remember that he thinks might work, and a couple of us go around through the nether and tell as many people as possible what’s going on. Gather allies, resources anything else we might need.”
It’s not much of a plan. But based on just how outclassed they are, just how little they know, just how much exhaustion shows in their faces, it might be the best plan they’re going to get for now. To throw themselves back into a battle so soon would be folly.
It never sits well with him to bank so much on a hope, though, a mere possibility that things will go their way.
(but certainties were ripped out from under him the moment Dream killed the unkillable, the moment he saw his brother  crumple to ash before his eyes)
“Great,” Puffy says, grimacing. “What could possibly go wrong with that?”
The silence that greets that statement serves perfectly well as a response.
He closes his eyes again. The darkness is no comfort.

my summary of ranboo’s story of his character from his stream
copied from my 5 page google doc i wrote instead of doing homework
this starts at the beginning and goes until 1hr 28 minutes into the stream
(i think i got basically everything he said)
joined the server, killed by dream, received a small tour from niki
the next day, he got a tour from tubbo, president of lmanburg. they talked about how ranboo was also running for president
shaped his first thoughts on lmanburg. that it was a good place.
finding michael with tubbo!
meets tommy! tommy tells him about george and ranboo agrees to burn down georges house (in order to not make enemies since he thought they had more than him)
niki and puffy were on a date and they tried to sneakily get past (asking niki for her armor, not suspicious at all)
tommy and ranboo grief georges house, accidentally burning it down. they ran from it, thinking they got away.
puffy asks if ranboo did it. ranboo couldn’t remember and doesn’t know why.
dream started building the walls on lmanburg
dream shows them georges house, destroyed. tommy gets blamed, ranboo is questioned bc puffy says she saw him. tubbo kills ranboo with the spoon (not canon)
the meeting hall to meet with dream. 
THE MINUTES MAN OF LMANBURG - tasked with taking the notes for the meeting
there was a pig man watching the meeting
the meeting did not go well. tommy brings out spirit against dream. dream played along but didn’t truly care, only caring for the disks.
tommy stood up for ranboo at the trial. they asked ranboo about it and he said his memory was bad but they cut him off. he never said he didnt remember the burning, only that his memory was bad.
being the minutes man gave him the idea to make the first Do Not Read book, writing who to trust and not trust
dream tubbo tommy quackity and fundy on the wall. tommy being taken away for some reason. the exile.
ranboo felt guilty because tommy wasn’t the only one who destroyed george’s house.
things in lmanburg were going great, he had a house and pets and was the minutes man and technically part of the cabinet
feeling guilty, he visits tommy in exile a few times. ranboo could tell something was off with him, with dream. so he wrote letters to tommy, trying to understand what he was going through in exile.
things were good, he built the ice cream shop with fundy
one day ranboo was approached whilst writing in his memory book. quackity tells him that techno is a traitor, the reason things are bad. and that they were gonna go get him and bring him to justice. which ranboo thought meant a trial and such.
the first butcher army meeting. ranboo is confused by it, the bloody butcher outfits. 
traitors are bad right? can’t have traitors
the butcher army went to technos place. ranboo shot a few arrows, maybe intentionally missing “he is a person still”
q gets carl and so techno agrees to go with the army
the execution. no trial. techno gets executed but survived.
phil, who saved ranboo from lava, who ranboo liked, gets put on house arrest. phil is mad at the army but ranboo was saying how he didnt think itd just be an execution. so the two are on even/neutral grounds.
ranboo talks to ghostbur, who calls him an aaron burr. they go to the snow, to technos. techno immediately tries to kill ranboo, who was just part of the butcher army. threatens him until he gives back all his armor.
tommy was at technos too. with techno. ranboo is surprised and writes it in his memory book.
ranboo goes back to lmanburg. realizes he just betrayed the entire butcher army by giving the armor back and saying he doesnt know where tommy is.
he kept seeing techno and tommy around lmanburg with dogs for some reason
he was kind of on both sides, techno/tommys and lmanburgs. he doesnt want to choose so he decides to help everyone
the festival plan to try to kill dream. ranboo spent time making festival games (the trident game!)
dream arrives and starts building the wall again
before the festival ranboo met with techno and tommy.
the community house was blown up. gone. 
according to dream it was techno and tommy.
dream says hes gonna blow up lmanburg again. techno joins him. blow it all the way to bedrock.
dream calls ranboo out as a traitor in front of everyone. dream has ranboos book. the first memory book. which ranboo had lost a few days prior, and found somewhere he didn’t put it. it had been moved. dream gives it to tubbo
THE PANIC ROOM. a place for him to think. the water outside providing a white noise. 
ranboo realizes that he kept choosing sides. he decides to choose people.
ranboo wonders how dream had his memory book
he checks the memory book and just finds the smile. the first smile. “all that was left is a smile”
that book becomes the second memory book.
the destruction of lmanburg on the horizon, they band together to attempt to stop it.
he speaks out. there are lots of people watching him
eye contact. he lashes out at people, as his judgement is impaired
he goes back to the panic room
the dream voice. a voice that is him but sounds like dream. it tells him that by trying to help everyone he has just betrayed everyone. ranboo doesn’t believe the voice because all he did was give techno his armor under pressure, right?
he decides the best thing to do is help the people who have helped him. lmanburg. 
but the first memory book is still missing
“it was time for doomsday”
they thought they still had time to save lmanburg. but then they heard explosions and withers.
lmanburg. “it was falling. it was gone”
people were suddenly switching sides and in the chaos of the destruction ranboo hears techno ask “what’s this do not read book”
ranboo runs to techno to get the book, techno has it. techno gave him the book and told him to get out of there, that he has no issue with him. techno showed ranboo mercy when he could have killed him
ranboo doesnt know where he stands with the destruction of lmanburg. so he watched. “watched as lmanburg fell”
he talks with fundy, with quackity, after the fall. fundy seemed off. quackity seemed to forgive ranboo, having read the book and changed his mind.
ranboo didn’t know what to do
“someone came in and asked me if i was okay. phil. phil realized that when he blew up everything” that ranboo was one of the few who lived in lmanburg and had no more home. phil offers him a place to stay, with him and techno
the situation is awkward at first but they get through it
MELLOHI
ranboo hears mellohi. “a disk from somewhere far away” “it was from the panic room”
he goes back to the panic room. “why was i hearing this from all the way over there” and takes out the disk. but then “an old friend came back. the voice.” 
but this time with more to say. that he was more of a traitor than he thought. the voice tells him that he has been helping dream the entire time. but that he just didn’t remember that. that he had something to do with the community house and other things on the server.
the voice wasnt dream. it was what he thought was himself trying to fill the gaps with memories.
he denies the voices claims. “you have no proof”
the voice says to mine an obsidian block. behind it are two pieces of tnt. 
he still doesnt believe the voice
ranboo is very confused. did he do it? did he not?
the disk war. tommy and tubbo had begun to prepare.
“the disks were very important right?”
“and then i just… lived. for a while.”
“for the first time in a while, happy. and that was good”
and so he decides that he is done. “done with living in fear of the dream voice”
and so he goes to the dream voice
“the dream voice said, hey? you literally have a disk”
“there’s no way i could have a disk right?”
but the voice says that he hid it. he met with dream. so he searched. and he found a disk. the disk. in a chest under his house. 
“so then i realized. something’s going on. there must be a reason why i cant remember these visits with dream, right?”
he “had been sleepwalking of sorts but that was a problem for another day”
time for the disk war. everyone thought that both tommy and tubbo would die
(he forgets what happens next? canon? idk)
dream was now in prison.
he decides to call the sleepwalking state enderwalking
everything was good. except the egg, but “we don’t gotta care about that”
ranboo has the “good idea” to visit dream
so he visits the prison. everything went normally. except “dream told me exactly what i didnt want to hear. apparently i had been visiting dream. i had been talking to dream.”
“and apparently i was one of his best friends”
and dream hands him his own memory book. the entire chest was filled with memory books.
“dream disappeared. and the prison started to crumble. and i guess the entire prison visit was just the dream voice but even worse”
so he didnt know what to do “i guess i’ll keep my head down. i didn’t really do much during that time”
but he needed to visit the prison again. “for real. to actually get closure”
he gets in to the lobby. sam asks his questions. and asks when the last time he visited. “and of course i havent visited before. so i said this is my first time.” and sam said “very funny” and tells him he has visited before. 
“i had technically visited the prison in the enderwalk. i asked sam to show me the books and they were written in ender”
he looked through the memory books, the three he had now. nothing showed that he had visited before. “there must have been a fourth book”
“i dont know what the fourth book is. and i still dont know where it is to this day”
“the fourth book wasnt a memory book. it was a book of the enderwalk” so he’s searching for it
he tried but nothing worked.
“i guess i was just kind of living. i noticed my tools on lower durability and my beacon had gone missing”
“the best thing to do is just live”
visiting snowchester a lot
done cool things with techno. techno was his friend now
“i was happy”
building the bee n boo, got married for tax reasons. 
the news. “after saving michael we got news. tommy had died. tommy was dead.”
the grieving stage.
one day ranboo decided to just relax. and then he sees niki. “what was niki doing at me techno and phils house?”
decided to be “extra stealthy” and watch out the window
techno asks him about anarchy, and ranboo says “that sounds good”
ranboo “had become part of something called the syndicate” which seemed to be for conflict resolution
tells the syndicate tommy died
tommy was alive? “somehow tommy was still alive. how? how is that possible?” 
and then something happened. ranboo gets brought to a room. with two shrines and a hallway. with everything people value.
he started to remember. to hear things. 
“so dream had a revive book. he was trying to control the server by using everyones loved things against them”
he doesnt remember when punz and everyone came and saved tommy and tubbo from being killed by dream
dream had to be stopped “before he could bring back the villains”
he has michael to protect now
tommy approaches while he is with tubbo. and ranboo agrees with tommy. they build that tower
talks with ghostbur “and he seemed like he didnt want to go, which was interesting”
“so right now im trying to kill dream”
but the enderwalk is still an issue. he needs to figure out how to stop the enderwalk. “it hasnt happened in a while, right?”
the reason he is doing everything is to make sure his adopted son, michael, is safe.
and that is the story so far.

Notes from Lore Recap 3/17
The events that were not mentioned were not mentioned on purpose 
1:38 - one hour and 38 mins to explain the entire character
First Day
Got there- doesn’t know how he got there
Started to punch stuff ya know get a sense of surroundings - got killed twice (not canon)
Got a tour from Niki basic areas and stuff
Second Day
Got a full tour from the President of L’manberg (first interaction w/ tubbo)
Plan was still to run for president
Decided to live in L’manberg
Tubbo shaped the beginning beliefs- seemed like a good idea
Found Michael
Then someone decided to give a visit- Tommy met Ranboo
Tommy told Ranboo about his plan- decided to burn down GeorgeNotFounds house
Because Ranboo didnt want any enemies (had no backbone etc) so he went along w/ Tommy
Niki and Puffy on picnic date- asked for Nikis armor to go do the thing
Wanted to just put funny signs and stuff- and it accidentally got burnt down - the burning down part was NOT planned
Got rid of all the evidence or so they thought-
Ranboo was asked by niki weather if he could remember burning down Georges house or not- and he couldn’t remember if he did or not (something happened because of not remembering it)
Dream started to build walls around L’manberg- no one knew why (for no reason) Then showed everyone Georges house.
It got blamed all on Tommy
Ranboo was going to be blamed but Tommy stood up for him
Memory is a little bit bad (he never said he didnt remember what he did- but was cut off)
Ranboo was questioned along w/ Tommy but nothing happened from that
Became minutes man of L’manberg (writing things down)
Unsucessful meeting
Kind of in the cabinet for L’manberg
Tried to use SPIRIT to get the walls down
Dream didnt care about spirit at all- just wanted the disks
Writing stuff down- like the minutes man was actually a good idea (for memory)
Because of Ranboo being responsible for Georges house- Do not read is created
Tommy gets exiled
Ranboo felt guilty (why would they punish JUST Tommy?)
In L’manberg stuff was going great-
Ranboo had a house, pets, was the minutes man
But still felt guilty- Tommy was still in exile
Ranboo visited him a coupe of times
Something was going on with Dream and Tommy, ran boo didnt know exactly what but- something bad
Tried to keep Tommy tied back to where he was- and try to understand what he was going through
Had the burden- that it was Ranboos fault for that happening to (Tommy) sorta
Ranboo was Mining his own business
Started an ice cream shop vibing etc..
Someone approached him (who was quackity)
Quackity brought up techno and how he was a traitor- and bring him to justice: So Ranboo thought they would be bringing him to justice- like court hearings and such
Was thrown into butcher army - went along because being a trader was bad
Quackity, Tubbo Fundy, and Ranboo all went to find techno
Purposely missed when they attacked (didnt do anything to techno, kinda just went along)
Quackity took technos horse- and techno was brought back to L’manberg
The trial of Technoblade
Execution was set up
Ranboo THOUGHT there was going to be a fair trial… but they tried to execute him
Philza - the guy who saved him from Lava when he was about to lose everything who was a great guy apparently was a traitor- was forced to go under house arrest (ranboo didnt really agree with this)
Ranboo felt bad- didnt mean for any of this to happen, both were on mutual terms
Ghostbur called Ranboo an Aaron Burr, went to the snow together, and were going to technos apparently- Ranboo had his armor and was just there on the same team trying to kill him
Techno tried to kill him- which is fair, techno threatened him until he was given back all of his armor
Succumbed easily to peer pressure
Tommy was also with techno for some reason - was in memory book, all were on okay terms
Issue with what just happened- accidentally betrayed everyone in the bother army ( by giving him his armor back AND knowing where techno was,
Just betrayed Tubbo, Fundy, and  Quackity - gave techno armor back. If told them he gave it back- would be seen as weak
Wrote all down in memory book
Kept seeing techno and Tommy with lots of dogs
Kind of on both sides
And everything was going well
A festival was planned to try to kill dream
L’manberg was going to respect the Laws of L’manberg to take armor off in L’manberg
Ranboo made games and stuff- it went well
Dream then started to build the walls again- large confusion, there was no reason for it to happen
Ranboo made a note not to say anything ESPECIALLY to Tubbo or Dream because he met with Techno and Tommy during the festival
Dream then led everyone to the community house and showed everyone it was gone- and it was blown up
Apparently it was techno and Tommy who blew it up
Dream then decided he was going to blow up L’manberg to bedrock with the help of Techno- a few days to go till it happened.
Ranboo was watching all of this go down- then Dream said Ranboo was the traitor…
Ranboo didnt know how Dream could know- let alone how he got the memory book
A day before this happened/ a few days before this, Ranboo had lost the first memory book and found it after awhile but was in a chest where Ranboo didnt put it (didnt think anything of it)
So ranboo needed a place to think because of the memory book went missing- and to deal w/ morals and the panic room was created- water created white noise- nothing was in this room to help realize his thoughts, ranboo was fine
Ranboo was trying to help everyone this entire time, but kept chosing sides and “chose people”
Festival was going to be great….
Fastfoward back to the community house being blown up
How did Dream get the first memory book… all that was left was a :)
The :) symbolized the fact that Ranboo betrayed everyone- that book then became the second memory book- the book that was replaced
Dream was going to blow up all of L’manberg
Everyone came together and wanted to try to defend L’manberg- but Ranboo realized that L’maberg would continue to cause all of their problems
Eye contact bad- became more aggravated- and lashed out at friends (is bad)
Judgment was effected, lashed out at fundy
Went back to panic room, started talking, thinking, what is he going to do to help…
Then started to hear the voice. (Dreams voice)
The voice told him the last thing he wanted to hear- By trying to help everyone, Ranboo betrayed everyone
Ranboo didn’t believe the voice- didnt think it was true. All he did was give armor back- he was under pressure, he didnt do anything that bad
Unsure what to do- the voice left.
Ranboo Decided the best thing to do was to help the people who helped him.  Decided to kind of help so he did.
Still was missing the first memory book
Had no idea where it was- was given to tubbo
Doomsday
Thought there still was time to save L’manberg- but explosions started, withers spawned, and L’manberg was starting to crumble- Ranboo wasn’t ready for this. L’manberg was falling… it was gone- admist of the screaming, fighting, etc.. the people who once were part of L’maberg decided to switch their values
But in all of this screaming- Ranboo heard something, he heard techno ask him about this “do not read book”- Ranboo ran to techno to get the book back, because Techno showed him mercy-
Ranboo gave Techno his armor back and thats why his book was spared, and Techno told him to get out of there
So Ranboo watched L’manburg crumble.
Ranboo talked with fundy- Ranboo hurt fundy, something was wrong Fundy
Quackity seemed to forgive Ranboo because he read the book
Ranboo didnt know what to do- and was panicking
Philza realized Ranboo was completely alone- Phil offered Ranboo refuge, and moved in with Phil and Techno and things started to go well again “this cant be so bad… right? I’m okay I’m safe”
Meholi then started to be played when things seemed to be looking up… the music was coming from far away - from the panic room so Ranboo went back to the panic room. He had no reason to be here- a “old friend” came back the voice came back and had more to say-
Voice said he was more of a traitor then he thought- The voice told ranboo that he has been helping dream this entire time, he just didn’t remember. That he had something to do with the community house-  and the voice wasn’t dream. The voice told him he was the one who blew up the community house- the voice then showed him what he did- ran boo refused to believe it and it was not right. Part of him did believe it- part of him did not believe it.
So went to chill with Techno and Phill and just vibe
Ranboo was confused- he had no idea what he really did or not. This was at the time when Tommy and Tubbo was planning to get the disks back. The disks were very important.
Ranboo just lived for awhile, he lived in sollutide and for the first time in awhile was “happy” and that was good.
Newfound happiness and newfound strength- was done living in fear  of the Dream voice- instead of having the dream voice come to him- he went to the dream voice, and said its no way he did what the voice said
He knows he has gaps in his memory, but he doesn’t believe he did it
The dream voice then told him “you have a disk” One of the two disks that started the wars….
Then went to look to see if he had the disk, and he had it- it was in a chest under his house… he had met with dream (the next day the disk was gone)
If ranboo doesn’t know where it is- then something is going on
There must be a reason why ranboo doesn’t remember. These visits with dream. Ranboo realizsts then he has been “sleepwalking”
Realized what he was doing during “sleepwalking” was bad, didnt know what to do.
Something then happened. Tommy and Tubbo were going to fight Dream.
And everyone thought they were both probably going to flat out die.
Doesn’t remember what happened
Dream was then put in prison- Dream was put in prison.
Dream was no longer a threat. Blocks being able to be picked up started to be a thing
Enderwalk was named
Ranboo realized he can’t get into the prison, so dream isn’t a threat anymore
Tommy and Tubbo have their closure.
Everyone is chilling
Ranboo is happy- out of conflict with Techno and Phil
The giant egg thing was a thing though. Was not good
The prison was open for visitation
Ranboo had a good idea- What if Ranboo goes to visit Dream- Ranboo could then go get his closure.
Could finally know once and for all weather or not he really was working with him. Ranboo then goes to visit the prison. It all goes normally and Dream tells him exactly what he didnt want to hear.
Dream then hands Ranboo his own memory book- Dream had all of the memory books… Ranboo had no idea how
The prison then started to crumble- and the prison started to disappear.
Then everything faded to black
Ranboo figured the entire prison visit was just the Dream voice just in a terrible fashion. Ranboo didn’t know what to do.
Ranboo just wanted to keep his dead down and ignore what happened. “Not to do much during that time” Doesn’t know what the prison visit was.
Ranboo wanted to go visit the prison, but for REAL this time to ACTUALLY get closure.
Ranboo was ready to visit dream for the first time - the real first time
Sam asked his questions, he asked -
when was the last time you visited: ranboo hadn’t visited before to his knowledge
He didnt think he had visited the prison before.
Ranboo connected the dots- Ranboo went to the prison while he was enderwalking- the books were written in ender
Ranboo had visited Dream in the enderwalk once before
Ranboo checked all of his books- made a third earlier as a new beginning, nothing was in the books that showed Ranboo had visited before- so there must of been a fourth book to answer this. The fourth book…. Still doesn’t know where the fourth memory book is… No one knows where it is- but most likely has the dream visit prison,
The 4th book was the book of the enderwalk.
Ranboo tried to work against the enderwalk to find out where the book was- tried but nothing worked.
Ranboo was just kind of living- tools had gone low on durability, beacon disappeared, no explanation why. But “its what happens” Decided to just live, nothing can be done about it and try not to get involved in things. Decided to be himself. Wrote down stuff in memory book, visited snowchester a lot, friends with techno and Phil, and they were happy
Ranboo was happy, then got married for tax reasons and decided to build a rival hotel to the big innit hotel
Got the news one day after saving Michael, that Tommy had died.
His last canon death. Tommy was dead. Ranboo death with the loss
Sam the one who was supposed to protect him let Tommy die and this really upset Ranboo.
One day when Ranboo was in his house, he decided that he would relax, and then saw niki by Ranboo’s technos and Phil’s house
Ranboo was curious what was going on, Techno explained what anarchy was to Ranboo-
Then became part of the Syndicate- “conflict/resolution/build your own peace” joined because it seemed like a good idea
Ranboo had to tell Phil, Techno and Niki Tommy was dead- they didnt believe him
Tommy was somehow alive again. Ranboo had no idea how that was possible.
Ranboo then kinda somehow made his way to Dreams lair from the Disk war
Ranboo then started to hear things, Dream had a revive book, he was trying to control the server by using everyones loved things against them. The only reason Tommy and tubbo didnt die was because everyone came to save them.
Ranboo doesn’t think he was part of saving tubbo and Tommy
Dream had to be stopped- so Ranboo had to figure out something before he brings back the villains- then Ranboo will finally be happy
NOTHING can happen to Michael. Ranboo has to protect the world for Michael.
Ranboo was hanging with Tubbo and Tommy came up and had the same idea as Ranboo. Something had to be done with Dream.
For the first time in a long time Ranboo and Tommy believed the same thing
Ranboo talked with ghostbur- and Ghostbur didnt seem like he wanted to go this time
Right now Ranboo is trying to figure out how to kill dream.
The enderwalk is still an issue.
Dream gave ranboo a set of instructions probably during the visit.
The enderwalk hasn’t happened in awhile or so ranboo thinks
The main reason Ranboo is doing everything now is to protect Michael.
Current goals:
Figure out the enderwalk
Protect Michael
Can afford to lose a little bit of life to protect the people he cares about

I spent 2 hours on writing notes from the prison podcast stream.
Now I don’t know what to do with them, so I’m putting them here. 
No need to read them, there is just some interesting stuff I noticed, things like tones and how many times somethings are brought up. 
if you do, though, I apologize  for spelling errors. 
start stream
techno "did the calculations" on how long it would take to mine obsidian with the amount of mining fatigue they had. we knoe this is true.
dream has been writing, it is the only thing hes been able to do with the limited items he has. its his "diary"
techno teases over fanfics on wattpad
"the only thing ive written is my diary" do the revive books not count, then? or what is in the revive books that isnt writing?
techno focuses on that nobody is watching - dream doesnt comment on it - dream doesnt know about the voices?
techno is supposed to break dream out, but he hasnt got many ideas "ill get to it later"
techno enjoys prison - sees it as a vacation
techno has an optimistic outlook.
go with the flow
dream sees harming himself as exhillerating techno disaprooves
dream tells techno quackity has been torturing him everyday. techno is only surprised by the every day part
dream mentions the revive book techno remembers being told about that asks "yeah you can bring people back from the dead. yeah so how do you do that" - curious tone, seems genuinely interested for innocent meanings dream responds " i have.. the knowledge and then i get a book and then i burn it" - hesitant at first, then vague but seemingly honest reponse
techno asks what the knowledge is, incantation/password/expelliarmus dream says "something like that" slowly, then quickly says he doesnt know and that he "doesnt know how schlatt had it" - going away from the topic original book - there are more than one it is a book is what youre saying - t well... i mean, it was a book that i memorised and that now i can recreate - d techno tries again to get the knowledge he wants to revive people dream doesnt want to tell techno because he wouldnt be the only one who knew techno tries to bargain saying that if dream died, techno coulld bring him bacl dream knows they wont kill him because he can revive people
dream says no, techno says "you forgot how to write it down didnt you dream says he didnt, that he did it recently, techno repeats again that dream forgot brings up wattpad again. dream says he wrote it down for tommy. he doesnt mention wilbur to techno. bring up the homeless situaation prison is dreams house cell is boiling apparently makes a joke about cali rent prices
nobody visited the cell "we stopped anarcy" "when we get out of here" no though ahead going into this situation (techno) "just as far as i need to" dream doesnt know what techno means by stream schedule, techno jokes about dream's lack of schedual techno usually trains always looking for new combat, reasearching constant arms race no idea when a government will arise or opressing people is always prepared has a good amount of gear he also plays golf somewhere offers a game with dream no way to describe it somewhere farther than his house
dream asks about tommy techno hasnt seen him canonically, only knows he stole acouple months ago - as far as he tells dream
dream asks about carl carl is doing well
dream asks about the family its doing good, apparently, new foxes, got steve who will break him out dream writes about steve "i will write evrrything down because its hard to remember" another fanfic joke

sapnap - didnt torture or kill him - but he said if dream got out of there, then he would - techno says hes gotta raise his standards
bad - was the best - treated dream the best - techno says hes a cult leader - dream is surprised so techno tells him about the egg - techno wasnt clear - bad hasnt viseted since 4-5 months ago - techno says even he has friends - egg was attacked - big crossover episode not clear what is going on

analysis of eight by sleeping at last and how it relates to aliveburs character
sorry its not super good, i hadnt done this is a while and this is a few months old, just figures i should post it here
I remember the minute It was like a switch was flipped -wilbur snapping at tommy when he lead schlatt to pogtopia, seemed out of nowhere at the time I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up -he had the charisma and the people to start a nation with violence, but was against it, he didnt want to stoop to dream's level And suddenly it fit -when he came into power God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive -looking back and thinking how stupid he mustve been to try and run a nation with words And I grew up too quick -was given power before he learned that violence was a necessary evil Now you won't see all that I have to lose -he cant let go of his power, even in pogtopia, when everyone is supposed to be equal, you can see how he takes up a leader-like role And all I've lost in the fight to protect it -canon lives, allies, friendships, his son, ect. I won't let you in, I swore never again -trusted schlatt to vouch for them, but just used them to get on the server to try and get his own power, what if techno does the same thing? I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected -'if i cant have Manberg, no one can have Manberg I want to break these bones 'til they're better -he believes that violence solves problems I want to break them right and feel alive -self destructive tendencies and poor coping mechanisms, even before pogtopia, he didnt have anyone to vent to, sure he would smoke with big Q but even then he couldnt tell him everything because he was convinced that it was a weakness. he would yell and lash out at people ruin relationships, ect. You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong My healing needed more than time -likely something philza said to him as a kid, his dad always said things when he didnt understand the full story, he called him a terrorist only to do the same thing 2 months later When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar -not only is this how he sees himself, but how he sees the people around him, babying fundy, 'you will never be president tommy', 'are you saying i shouldnt do this because of niki?' I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too Now I'm a broken mirror -reflecting on who he used to be, but also showing how hes become the tyrant he promised to bring to justice, a warped version of all the people he hates I can't afford to let myself be blindsided I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart -he cant let anyone else take advantage of him, so he pushes the people he trusts away so they dont get close enough to betray him And all I want is to trust you Show me how to lay my sword down For long enough to let you through -he wants to trust tommy, he wants to trust the people he loves, but he's scared that without his power he'll be the reason everything and everyone he loves will be taken from him Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? -talking to tommy and tubbo about how he doesnt care, he will blow up manberg, almost hoping to be asked why, again, there was no one to vent to I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut -ghostbur talked about how alivebur cried a lot during his presidency and how he wasnt nearly as calm or confident as he let on And bury my innocence -he became callused and more distant from the people he cares about But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel -he became dream's vassal, he gave dream exactly what he needed to weaken their shared enemies and himself, and was fully aware that dream knew this too I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin -more about being dreams vassal, how he cant step out now I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in -he has cut his emotional ties with l'manberg, it isnt his lmanberg anymore, he's fucked and he will not go down without a fight I'ma shake the ground with all my might And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface For the innocent, for the vulnerable And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose -he understands that he's become a bad person and he doesnt care but he knows he should so he goes into batle, knowing it would be his last, and hes content with that fact, its for the best And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat -he will make sure that he, and manberg, are dead An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again -he knows people will be upset, but theyll be crying for who he used to be, not who he is now Invincible like I've never been -he goes into war with the same air hes had everytime, still acting like he's invincable, like hes at the top of everything, but this time his confidence comes from him knowing that either way, no matter what he does, he will be dead by the end of it all

Pt 2
Maysibelle (mayday)
Mayday is the last fight before eve
So the fight starts with her singing and the brothers blasting their way in
Since they dont have a guitar player they just sort of use some recordings they render to their liking to make up for it
So in their interruption imagine it like the Highway to Hell opera video, only right before the singing of the rock song starts maysibelle stops the music by snapping her fingers
She has both those mannequins neon j made for her and actual people dancing
After she stopped the music the dancers stopped with the human dancers moving off to the side of the ballroom for their own safety
This is the dress she is wearing
Tumblr media
And this is the mask
Tumblr media
And hair
Tumblr media
(She speaks in an aloof, emotionless tone)
“Ah so this is the infamous duo who don’t know their place”
(Z is zuke w is west)
W: and what exactly is our place
“Away from these districts, learning how to play respectable music”
Z: you all need to come off it already, what do you have against rock?
“It boisters itself as superior in music and yet now look at it. Only the talentless dare practice it. “
W: me thinks the lady doth protest too much
“How dare you. Leave, now.”
Z: sorry but not without this district
*laughter* “very well then have at you”
So the video i linked before with the three songs is what plays during her battle
(This is not a fun fight for west, gotta add some humor)
While she sings west and zuke have to dodge the mannequins as they dance towards them as a attack
They find out they’re mannequins when a mask gets knocked of one of them leaving the oulines of pupiless eyes on a blank face
W: mannequins why mannequins?
Z: seriously those things still freak you out?!
W: yes! Especially ones that dance on their own!
They also keep getting hit by something they cant really see
Zuke: what the heck is going on what is even hitting us
W: she’s got nice pipes though, but we can play better
The next phase starts with the second song and after theyve beaten the mannequins, with a head of one being knocked into her mask damaging it
The mannequins are cleared out and some life sized marrionettes drop down
W: it gets worst! Please no dolls.
Her costume in this phase is this (it was under her dress)
Tumblr media
And both her and the marrionette dance ballet as she sings
The difference here is the marionettes will lift up and drop down so they have to watch the shadows to see where they land
This is also how they start understanding what’s hitting them
Z: *watches a shadow fly towards his brother and hit him* so that’s what been hitting us? Bro! Watch for all the shadows on the floor, i think that’s what was getting us in the last phase!
W: why am i the one she keeps aiming for?! Lady lay off already!
Z: bigger target?
They cut down the marionettes from their strings leaving them useless with west panicking when one touches him and throwing it at maysibelle, fracturing her mask more
“I’ll get you for that.”
W: you’ve literally been going mostly after me already!
(She changes her costume during the convo, she walks behing a screen and steps out in it)
“As your brother said you are indeed the larger target. And your brother has been far more respectful than you.”
W: hey
Z: she’s kind of right though
Tumblr media
The skirt is a bit shorter covering her feet bit easy to move in
No assistance this time though she has fans she throws that are weapons and they still have to dodge the mystery attack
At one point dk west trips over a doll that somehow lands on the floor
W: *screams*
“..... it’s just a doll. And don’t you dare break her.
Z: bro we’ve gotta do something about this fear of yours
The end of this phase after they’ve hit her enough ends with wth west knocking on of her fans back into her mask which is now covered in cracks
“Are you incapable of anything but disrespect?”
W: are you capable of talking like you can feel emotions?
“Perhaps i should hit you harder?”
Z: you are just on fire today bro
W: what she acts and talks like she can’t feel anything
“Emotions are meant to be controlled, it is inappropriate to let others see you in such a state.”
W:...
Z:... what
W: you know you would probably have an easier time telling people how you feel eithout that mask
“Don’t you dare to touch it! I am never to show my face in public!”
Z: okay this is getting a bit uncomfortable
W: what kind of messed up logic is that?
“I don’t expect you to understand his teachings. Nor do i expect you to understand that you two could never power Vinyl City!”
W: says you and every other so called artist. Can’t wait to prove you all wrong
“I’ve had just about enough of you. Since you’ve made it further than i thought capable, allow me to show you my true power. Bask in trance techno opera, all i was ever born to do.”
Z: alright now it’s really uncomfortable
She walks behind another screen and steps out in this
Tumblr media
The lights center on her and the brothers can make out this black smoke like mist surrounding her a bit
She moves her hands to the start of her phantom of the opera performance and the mist moves with her
Z: that’s what was hitting us before?!
As she sings she sends out this mist that is basically like energy and they have to dodge it while attacking her
They get to the lull in the song with no singing
Z: whoever you’re doing this for you dont have to
West isnt quite following yet
“Hmm, charming. I do this because i must. But since you seem to love doling out advice, allow me to return the favor.”
“Apologize. She deserves that much from you, and more.”
Zuke is surprised by this and maysibelle gets in a hit as she goes back to singing
W: maybe focus on the fight instead of small talk?
Z: ...
W: seriously she’s just messing with ya
Z: no she’s not. I know exactly who she’s talking about
It takes a lot to get through this fight and maysibelle actually shows some signs of anger and frustration before immediately pushing them down
This is where west starts picking up on something being wrong with her
Towards the end of the song they work their way up to her and zuke manages to push though and smash his drumsticks down
Hebhad been aiming for her microphone but accidentally hit her mask finallt shattering it
The music stops as she screams and drops to her knees covering her face
W: woah man that was a bit much don’t you think? You coulda broker her nose
Z: I don’t think that’s the reason she screamed.
He notices some of the people left are peering over and sees the cameras oving to see her better
Z: *frowning* do you all not know how to respect someone’s privacy?!
They back off a bit startled at him zuke picks up a cloak that came off a mannequin from earlier and drapes it over her
Maysibelle readjusts it so the hood shrouds her face completely she grasps at the shards of her mask trying to put it back together
“can’t let them see can’t let them see can’t let them see”
W: okay what is wrong with-
Z: west don’t. Look i have no idea why you think those things. There’s nothing wrong with your emotions or the way you look
“How would you know? You’ve no experience of them.”
Z: yeah but do you either?
*voice quivers, but still remains emotionless not crying* I don’t remember my face. It’s been so long.”
W: how do you not-
Z: west. Just...why? Why not let yourself feel or show?
“I’m not allowed.”
Zuke moves towards her but she cuts him off
“Leave. I don’t need your pity.”
Z: that’s not what i-
“I said go.”
The two leave her ballroom and she calls out to them still gripping her mask pieces
“Remember to apologize. You owe her so much.”
Interlude
Z: that was super uncomfortable
Kliff appears
“What was uncomfortable?”
West goes to answer but zuke cuts him off
Z: the walk back, the fight was really exauhsting so it was uncomfortable wslk back
West gives he brother a loo and kliff shrugs
“Well good job getting another district. She was gonna beca hard one. Go get some rest we’ll take the last district tomorrow”
As the two leave to their rooms west talks
W: what was that back there?
Z: kliff keeps ignoring me when i mention how bad the nsr artists look and i dont know if you’ve noticed but i listened to some of maysibelle’s fans on the way back
W: and?
Z: they were praising her for staying “proper” during our fight, like they really do expect her to not show emotions and when i asked them about that thry say it’s what they expect of her how she’s always bern this way
Z: west there’s something really wrong with the nsr artists it’s like they’ve been... broken
W:... what did she mean by apologize
Z: it has to do with the last district.
Z: it’s nadia’s district.
This was a long one
Next one will be long too, mainly cause if the last fight with tatiana
I’ve really hurt mayday huh? :D

Like a Love Song
This is a fan made Trollstopia episode with Rose as the main focus!!
———————————————————————
the day begins with Rose in bed
she was starring into space
then a loud knock banged at the door
Laguna: Rose? It’s me Laguna! You wanna study?
Laguna: Make a life breaking discovery?
Rose log rolls off the bed
she stands up again and makes the most awake face she possibly can make
she opens the door
Rose: Okay sure!
Short skip to when they were at Lagunas place studying
Rose: So what are we studying exactly?
Laguna: I don’t know...
She throws the book she had
Laguna: so what do you wanna talk about?
Synth was conveniently outside Lagunas window talking to Branch
Rose: ...
Laguna: Rose?
Laguna: Are you looking at Synth?
Rose: WHAT?! NO I DON’T!! STOP ASKING!!!
Laguna: 😐
Rose: I’m just...uh...
She gets distracted again because Synth looks her way and waves
She smiles some and waves back
Laguna: do you..?
Rose: maybe okay?
Laguna: *gasp* aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww~!
Laguna: Roooooooooooosssse!
Rose: 😒
Laguna: did you tell him?
Rose: of course-
Laguna: What’d he say?
Rose: not
Laguna: WHAT?! WHY?!
Rose: well uh...I don’t know if he feels the same.
Laguna: ooohhhhh I see. You wanna impress him!
Rose: yeah...
Laguna: I don’t think it’ll take a lot to do that. Synth’s a nice guy.
Rose: okay. What do you want me to do?
Laguna: don’t worry Rose! I have the perfect plan!
At the door to Synths house
Rose is standing with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate hearts.
Rose: I don’t know about this, Laguna. It seems really...Stereotypical...
Laguna: I’m sure that’ll get Synth to like you!
Rose rings the doorbell
Rose: you owe me big time if he...
Laguna was gone
Synth then opens the door
Synth: oh! Rose! A...Are those for me?
Rose: A...Eh...yeh...
Synth grabs the flowers and chocolate and puts them aside
Synth: uh...Thanks?
Rose: yeh...
Synth closes the door
Laguna: WHAT IN THE NAME OF MITOCHONDRIA WAS THAT?!
Rose: My mentality stalling
It zooms into her head showing her brain failing to start up a motor. when the motor starts up again her brain flips the “days without stalling” sign to zero.
Laguna: okay you obviously need some confidence
Laguna: and I know just the troll who can help us!
It cuts to Val
Val: No I’m not giving you romantic advise...
Rose: Please! I’ll never get his attention without you!
Val: who are you even talking about?
Rose: Uh...Eh...
Poppy: Who is it Val?
Poppy: Oh hey Rose what’s the issue?
Val: She’s got a crush on some boy and she wants me to give her romantic advise
Poppy: who is it?
Val: that’s what we haven’t got to yet...She’s sitting here STALLING instead of ANSWERING ME!
Rose: It’s Synth okay?!
Rose covers her mouth
Poppy: Awww!
Val: Ewww!
Poppy: I know exactly how you can get him to like you back.
Poppy set up a council meeting the very next day
Rose: Poppy! Why did you call all of the ambassadors?
Poppy: Because Synth is a ambassador! you can confess here!
Rose: But wouldn’t that be wasting all of the other council’s time?! 
Poppy: Don’t worry! I told all of them about how you feel!
Rose and Laguna facepalm at the same time.
everyone arrives but Synth
Poppy: great! Everyone's here!
Dante: So, Rosanne...
Rose: you can just call me Rose you know that right.
Dante: Yes yes I know..
Dante: I see you have feelings for a certain someone?
Rose: Ughhhh...Yes...
Dante: and you don’t know how to tell him?
Rose: *sighs* No...
Holly: Well don’t you worry your absolutely adorable head off Rosie! 
Rose: Rose
Holly: Yeah yeah what ever...We got this!
Synth finally arrives
Poppy: Oh Synth! It seems that all of the seats are taken! Except, this one...Right next to Rose...?
Synth: That ones free...
He points to a chair next to Val. Val immediately picks the chair up and yeets it out the window. it lands on Smidge
Smidge: I’M OKAY!
Synth: Ok...
Synth sits next to Rose
Poppy: So I called you guys here to talk about...Romance...
Rose: *whispers in Poppys ear* Where are you going with this
Poppy: *Whispers back* All of the talk about romance will heat him up and then you’ll confess! 
Rose: *whispers* I don't think that's how it works...
Synth: Why Romance? 
Poppy: Uh...When is the Techno mating season?
Synth: Summer...It just started...Why?
Poppy rambles on for 10 minutes about uniting all mating seasons to be during summer.
Poppy’s plan seemed to be working. So Rose decided to confess.
Rose: Psst..Hey...
Synth seemed to be focussed on Poppy
Val: *whispers* Tap his shoulder!
Rose: *Gulps* O..Okay...
Rose taps Synths shoulder and he turns to her
Rose: Synth...I have to tell you something...
Synth: Yess?
Rose: It sorta relates to what Poppy’s talking about...
Synth: Yesss~?
Rose: I...I..L..Lo...
It zooms into Roses mind. Her brain was struggling with the controls while there was an alarm yelling “Synth Alert!” The brain was repeatedly pressing the confess button but it wouldn’t work.
Rose: I...Lo..L..
Val: Get on with it!
Rose: I...Uh...I Lo...
Synth:  You Love..?
Rose faints
Poppy: AH! ROSE!
Dante: ROSANNE!
Holly: ROSIE!
Rose: I...ts....Rose!
A few hours later Rose wakes up
Synth: Is she gonna be okay?
Poppy: yeah I’m sure of it
Rose: What happened
Synth: I don’t know, you we’re gonna tell me something and you just passed out...
Synth: Do you still remember what you wanted to tell me?
Rose passes out again. This time when she wakes up Synth was gone.
Rose: Where’s Synth?
Poppy: We told him branch needed him...
Rose: Uggghhhh! WHY COULDN’T I TELL HIM?! THAT COULD’VE BEEN MY ONLY CHANCE.
Dante: Nonsense! I have a trick up my sleeve!
Rose: Your gonna set up a date at that fancy restaurant aren’t you?
Dante: Of course! What else?
Rose:  O...Okay then...Yeeey.
At Dante's Restaurant, Synth was sitting next to Rose. They we’re both silent.
Dante: I set up neon lights around their table to set a good... “tech” mood as they say.
Laguna: Nobody says that...
Synth: So...Rose...You invited me here for a reason I’m guessing...
Rose: Yeah uh...There’s something I need to tell you...But I’ll save it for after we eat
the food arrives
Rose: Look! Food!
Synth: You seem unsure about something...You okay girl?
Rose: Yeah I’m fine!
Synth intriguingly puts his head on his fist
Synth: Yeah alright...
he had a disapproving tone.
Synth: I’m gonna...Use the restroom...
Synth got up and walked away
Laguna: psst! Rose!
Rose turns around to see Laguna and Dante hiding in a bush. 
Laguna: Amps don't like it when you lie to them!
Rose: Amps??
Laguna: *sighs* Male techno trolls! they don’t like it when females lie to them! they’ll think they cant trust them!
Rose: Why did I not know that! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! *she knocks her head three times*
Synth returns and they finish their meal.
Rose: So Synth...I’ve been meaning to tell you something...
Synth: Actually...I think I’ll just go..
Rose: W...Why?
Synth: I just dont like the aura we have around each other...It’s really...Awkward...
Rose: I swear that’s just me...I sorta cant help it
Synth makes a disgusted face.
Laguna face palms
Synth: I’m just gonna go...
Synth leaves the restaurant and Rose rests her head on the table. 
Laguna: Okay that went horribly...
Rose: You think???
Dante: I’m afraid I can’t help you...But I do know someone who could...
Dante winks
Laguna: Oh yeah! Someone who knows who Synth is inside and out!
Dante: Someone who’s been freinds with him for a long time...
Laguna: Someone...Who’s gone through the same thing Rose is going through right now!
Rose: Poppy?
Laguna and Dante: No! Branch!
Rose: That’s right! He’s Synth’s best friend!
the next day Rose comes to Branch’s bunker
Branch: Who is it? Oh. Rose?
Rose: Hi...
Branch: What’s up...We haven’t talked in a while.
Rose: I actually need your help...You know Synth right?
Branch: Is that even a question?! He’s my best bud!
Rose: Great! Do you know how I could get him to like me?
Branch’s eyes went wide
Branch: Woah...I said i was his friend not his dad!
Rose: Please Branch! You’re my last bet!
Branch: Did you confess?
Rose: No
Branch: then i dont know how to help you, if you want Synth to like you then you should just tell him
Rose: I have nowhere near the confidence to do that!
Branch: Alright then...If i know Synth I really think you can just hang out with him.
Synth arrives behind Rose
Branch: Speaking of! here he is!
Synth: What’s she doing here? Emergency?
Branch: She wants to hang out with us
Synth: Huh..? O...Okay…Then..
Branch walked into the bunker but before Rose could enter Synth grabbed her arm
Synth: Rose listen, I’ve been passing by and stuff like…you know I just see you sometimes around the lagoon or somewhere up here and…You’re a really social girl, nice to, so…Could you please be that nice and social girl instead of…
Rose: The way I was at the da- dinner?
Synth: Hol’ up we’re you about to say date?
Rose: No…
Synth scowls and Rose remembers what Laguna told her.
Rose: I mean…Yeah it was just a slip of words…Sorry!
Rose began to push away the awkward behavior she had and began to show her true personality.
Synth: that right there…Is why I like you…
Synth smiles
Rose: Like uh…Like like?
Synth’s eyes go a bit wide.
Synth: I mean…If you want…
Rose: Uh- N...No thanks…
Synth: Oh uh…Right…
They both walk into the bunker.
The day was filled with bonding and the day finally finished off with a rave
Branch began to think this was a good time to confess.
Branch: Hey Synth.
Synth: Yeah?
Branch: Rose has something she wants to tell you.
Rose: No I don’t-
Branch: *whispers* She really likes you!
Rose: What?
Branch: *whispers* She’s in love with you!
Synth: She is???
Rose: NO! I DON’T LOVE SYNTH AND I NEVER WILL LOVE HIM!!
Synths heart shatters.
Rose realizes her mistake.
Rose: Synth I…It was a slip of words
Synth: No no…*sniff* I think you we’re clear…
Rose: I-
Synth: Crystal…Clear
Synth leaves the rave early and the crowd glares at Rose.
Branch: Real smooth…
Branch had his hand in his face
After the rave ended Rose ran out of the water and to a lonely hill. She balled up, she didn’t even feel like howling she was so sad.
Rose: Why would I say something like that…
Rose: I’m such a coward…and a jerk…and a-
Synth: You’re not all those things…
Rose: Synth?
Synth sits beside her. Rose blushes and avoids eye contact.
Synth: Rose…Listen…I like you…I really do…I…I don’t wanna hear you saying stuff like that about yourself…
Rose: It doesn’t matter if it’s true…
Synth: But it isn’t.
Synth: You’re kind, caring, curious, and absolutely adorable!
Rose blushes some more.
Synth: And even if you don’t like me…The guy you do like…Is awfully lucky…
Synth looks down. Rose has the compelling urge to comfort him
Rose puts her arm out to wrap around him. She slowly builds the courage and gently pulls him closely.
Synth: What are you doing?
Rose: Synth…Listen…I…I didn’t mean a word of what I said back there. I would never say such a thing, I…really…Would do nothing but give you all the affection and love you want cause…I love you…
Synths eyes went wide
Synth: I…I thought you said…
Synth looks down for a moment
Synth: I love you to Rose…
He smiles
They close up and close their eyes preparing for a kiss
Branch: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….
Synth and Rose scream and back away.
Synth: DUBSTEP YOU DANG NEAR GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!
Rose: YEAH WHAT DO YOU WANT???
Branch: I thought Rose needed some help but I see you two got yourselves wrapped up!
Synth: Like a gift…
He smiles back at Rose.
Rose: I think…I was relying on everyone else to the point where…I didn’t know how to deal with Synth…Independently…
Synth: Heh…Either way…You got me…
Branch: Uh…Yeah cool imma go now…
Branch leaves
Synth: So…What do you wanna do now?
Rose: Kiss..? Maybe..? Of course that’s if you want im not forcing you or anythi-
Synth grabs Rose and kisses her then backs away.
Rose: I see you…Wanted to…
Synth giggles and they both turn back to the moon. Synth then leans on Rose’s shoulder.
The end!

Abandoned amusement parks are the best place for young children  (chapter 21)
Fic summary:
Techno, Tommy, Wilbur and Phil have been hanging out at the abandoned amusement park in the woods since they moved in. Techno likes knowing he's definitely alone with his brothers Tommy likes climbing on the old rides Wilbur likes having a place to play his music Phil likes spending time with his younger brothers
That is, until a group of brothers calling themselves the 'dream team' move in down the road. Will the sleepy boys give in and share the park or will they succeed in scaring the new kids off?
Chapter summary:
sometimes school gets tough but friends are always there to lend a hand right?
Chapter word count: 1433
AO3
Yeah… It was starting to get a little obvious that Eret was avoiding them, when they had passed him a note in science he immediately bunched it into his pocket, when they tried to catch him between lessons he acted like he was in a rush and when they tried to find him at break it was like he had just vanished into thin air. Wil wasn’t stupid. He had been suspicious since the texts started to diminish but now it was pretty much just a plane fact, as much as it pained him to admit, he had hoped this time would be different and they could actually keep a friend for once but he guessed that was just wishful thinking.
Really, it wasn’t common for Wil to be the one zoning out in class, that was definitely more something Techno would do, but of course anyone would be a little distracted if they were trying to figure out friendship issues when they were so inexperienced. Maybe that’s why he hadn’t noticed Techno tugging on his sleeve at first.
A little flashcard was slid across the desk, a note from his brother it seemed. ‘Can we leave for a bit? I need a break’
Obviously, the note had to be short to fit on the small piece of paper, plus it wasn’t necessarily needed considering Wil could usually understand the problem from the tugging alone. Not wanting a repeat of the ticket-booth incident, Wil scrambled in his pocket for a little laminated slip of paper, hopping up and quickly going to the teacher’s desk to place it before ushering his brother out of the room.
Recently, the staff had been trying to help them a little more, Wil thought it definitely seemed like their therapist had emailed them or something by the looks of it, that or they had noticed how shaken up Wil had been recently and wanted to try and be as accommodating as possible. That being said, recently they had each been given a little pass that could let them leave the classroom without question if they gave it to a teacher, meaning they’d no longer be getting in trouble every time one of them was just having an overall bad day and wasn’t able to deal with that environment.
Once out of the room, Wil breathed a sigh of relief and started to lead Techno down to an empty classroom where they could hopefully talk about why the card had to be used.
Now that they were alone, Techno was visibly more comfortable, going forward to sit on one of the desks as he fiddled with his ponytail. More often than not, there wasn’t some big emotional gesture whenever they left, sometimes a TA would come and find them with some work they could be doing on their own but generally they seemed to understand that sometimes they weren’t in a state to be doing the work.
“Are you okay then?” Wil hummed as he hopped up to sit on the desk too, flopping backwards a bit. “I think that’s the first time I remembered to give the card in first”
“I’m okay, just a lot of noise in there” A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned his head on Wilbur’s shoulder, gently pushing Wil’s thigh a little bit away from his own since having thing’s touching him when he hadn’t consciously decided for it never really helped with sensory overload. As always though, Wilbur was understanding, always trying to be careful with Techno whenever he needed a break.
“I was thinking..” Techno had hummed “we can just like...talk to Eret, right? Like if we tell him it’s important and that we noticed he’s been running off lately, no way he’d just leave then, Right?”
Wilbur gave a solem little nod, appearing to finally accept the reality that maybe they had messed up and pushed their friend away. With a little bite onto the inside of his cheek, it was obvious that he was mulling over their past few interactions, searching and scanning for any kind of answer for how they might have hurt him.
“We need to meet up with Dream and his lot after school though so maybe we should leave it till tomorrow? I know Phil will be there but I don't want to risk getting all emotional again”
With another nod, Wilbur took out his phone, tapping on the old arrow buttons until he got to Eret’s contact, just wanting to review what they had said to him once more.
---
Message history:
Saturday 7:34 PM Eret: *Image attachment* Eret: Reminded me of you two lol
               Wilby Soot: Much agreed, Much agreed Wilby Soot: Hang out later?
Eret: Cant, busy :/ Another time
       Monday 4:45 PM Wilby Soot: Tech wants to know if you’re gonna play mc with him
Eret: Homework UGH Eret: Busy man sorry :/
       Tuesday 8:58 PM Wilby Soot: Let us know if we overstepped any boundaries okay x Wilby Soot: We aren’t really used to this stuff, we care abt you tho
---
It felt a bit depressing to be looking over all the old messages, the feeling was akin to when you eat too much and wake up in the middle of the night feeling super nauseous.
Alas though, life never seemed to go easy on the two brothers as the door to the door to the empty classroom’s door swung right open. At first, Wil had thought it was a teacher coming to deliver some work for them to do but as he heard the familiar sound of yelling and laughter, he soon realised the much more likely reality of it being a group of boys who were skipping class.
Quickly, fight or flight seemed to kick in, letting him shuffle back over to Techno and grab hold of his hand, just in case. It was pretty much a given that they were going to be getting made fun of, sure the majority of students left them alone now, taking about them behind their back at worst, but the kind of guys who carelessly skipped without any reason definitely felt like the type that would tease them for being so close. They didn’t understand. They wouldn’t understand. They just hadn’t experienced life like they had.
The mantra repeated in his head as he controlled his breathing, forcing his eyes to the floor as he waited to be laughed at. This wasn’t exactly a rare occurrence but that didn’t mean it was all nice and fine, he just had to keep himself calm, for Techno, he couldn’t let his brother be stranded without someone who could interpret for him.
The laughter had pretty much died down as the group came to stand in front of them, seemingly now aware of their presence in the classroom, but the teasing didn’t start straight away. Certainly, this felt like something strange so Wilbur gingerly lifted his head back up only to be met with the familiar tall frame of his friend.
“Eret?”
Surrounding him there was a group of other boys who all seemed to carry themselves in a similar vein, all very stylish and put together, a stark contrast to the twin’s hand-me-down clothes and patchwork sewing spots. Wilbur couldn’t really identify all of the boys, some were from their Year but some looked a bit older, maybe year 9’s or year 10’s.
“Uh...hi. Guys, this is Wilbur and Techno...I uh.. I know them from class”
The familiar sound of muttering was echoed around the room as the boys seemed to try and decide what they were going to do with them. Predictably, it was all the usual ‘oh they’re the quiet ones’ ‘The tall one is really clingy’ stuff, at first it would hurt them but they’d grown a pretty thick skin by now, they didn’t really care about what a bunch of random guys thought of them.
They didn’t care. It didn’t matter. They were used to it.
They didn’t care and it definitely didn’t hurt that Eret hadn’t introduced them as friends and it absolutely absolutely didn’t hurt at all that these were the people he was hanging out with.
“Dude, these your little friends, man?” One of the heftier boys had laughed, elbowing Eret in the ribs lightly as he teased him. That didn’t hurt either, their affection and friendship being used as an insult.
Eret looked at them for a couple seconds, expression unreadable.
“Man no way! I wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out with them!”
Oh..
Oh wow.
Okay fuck.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck

In listening to my story on tale the part about Roby Young being the biggest dj in the world from WABC New York broadcasting to 30+ states in the evenings, and that he started the Paul McCartney is dead conspiracy theory all sounded a bit much.  Sometimes I even wonder if I don't exaggerate over time in my mind.  So I researched it, and low and behold, (I am a great researcher if nothing else and if proof was out there I would find it) well I found it.  All just as I said. ;lots of pictures that brought back memories, the miami and ft laudereale periods, but what I did not know is that he died broke and alone in a looser hotel, but thats another tail.  Here is the story that sums it all up: http://traxandgrooves.blogspot.com/2017/08/roby-yonge.html   as usual not all made up, its all happened exactly as I remembered Here is Diamond Girl, if you listen you will here me saying yes yes in the lerycs, and roby Young is the one with the very low voice half way through saying you fit right on my finger etcThis is the first very very bad video and you can see the fake group trying unsuccessfully to lip sink.Finally the getar half way through is Steve Kimbol and you will recognize the sound from BGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmpArA079t8  then we remixed it to this and it was bought for 200 bucks by Atlantic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS9gDdGdO-c  here is another one I did with roby and Peter Rosenbergs brother I cant believe they are still makeing money off this thing 40 years later - to me its the same song over and overhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKH-EQarvsU   Then this is the first one I actually put my name on and my first video!  look for me dancing lol This horable video actually sold 1 million copies of its album and this video was #1 on MTV!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP847GSer6w   Then we progressed quickly to doing this for the 3rd Batman movie - thats me in the blue coat getting paperwork signed in the first sceen - the car in it is what the origional batmobile was made from and of course another platinum album!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhHgoyKOgn8  Then I did my own hit, #1 all over the world LSDs the Bomb - notice the MTV logo in the upper right hand of the screen, Mike helped me with the beats on this one, but its me on the keyboard and sampling Dragnet lol  - This was also #1 on MTV all over the world (the dance show)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTi2AHWucXI  Then I wrote and proformed this little diddy, that became the #1 techno hit in the US (remember I was 44 at this point)  that is me as the star of this video,I am Dr Frankenstine, we had Robert Micheal Ingrea direct it, he was AD of the Godfather, (the movie) but he was my buddy and did this one for me!  This is my best as far as I am concerned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz8Wh8pXZFY This was my rock group Schnitt Acht.  I took them to Canada and produced this album with Neil Pert of RUSH - this song and MTV video went #1 in Europe but did not do much here in the US - this was about my last project - again with Ingria for the video, this cost as much as a house to produce, we built a castel in miami and throught the entire bands instruments off the top!  all that set is real, there was no such thing as CG or grean screen back thenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL3OzjVQQIY  I only show this stuff because with the famous groups, there are hundreds of people involved, you are only responsible for a mix of the sound, then it goes off and gets everything, else, but this stuff was 100% me - all aspects and I went platinum on all of these - all on cheetah On the night that the first Bush did the invasion of Irac - Ingria and I were in ABC studio with Roby Young - we snuck a wire into the live feed of the war sceens and used them in a green screen with the band - this was one of the first true green screen videos, and since it was so timley, it got instantly onto MTV and Yo MTV, which I think this was from, it was a fad song, right before Cheetah ended in the 90s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHJv3VuRYhc THe point of all this is all this stuff is still on YouTube getting millions of views and makeing someone other than me money, that is the story of my life! But my storys are real! and by the way - all that stuff is 30 years old, a lot of it was way way ahead of its time dont you think - but here I sit, when I think of what I could be producing all these years!

The Past Is A Grotesque Animal
Tumblr media
Part 1: Even Apocalypse is Fleeting
Warning(s): T for now (M in the future) Fandom: American Gods Pairing: Mad Sweeney x Laura, Mad Sweeney x OC Authors Note: I’ve had this idea knocking around in my brain for many months now. I just really like the idea of exploring Sweeney’s past and other gods who have fucked with him. So if you’re into future angst please keep reading! This story is written in a non-linear format. I didn’t start out writing it that way, it just came out like that.  I apologize for any errors I’ve read this thing so many times I can’t see the words anymore. Comments, suggestions, critique is always appreciated!
The engine of the battered ice cream truck sputtered and coughed as Laura pushed the peddle down willing it to climb the steep grade up over yet another Appalachian mountain.  It had been a few hours since their epic Kentucky fuck up that left her both husband and lifeless,  more or less.  Mad Sweeney sat bundled in his sleeping bag.  He had been uncharacteristically quiet for the majority of their journey,  either asleep or pretending to be.  Their destination was House on the Rock Wisconsin.
Laura worried at the edge of a fingernail, a bad habit from her living days.  This time her whole nail bed fell off.  She heard a gag from the passenger seat.  "Jesus Christ, Dead Wife,  if you keep gnawing at your finger like that the whole fucking things going to drop off.“   Laura pursed her dry lips,  eyes narrowing,  but still concentrating on the road.  
” So who’s in Wisconsin?  If Ostera couldn’t help me because I was killed by a God then aren’t I fucked?“  Mad Sweeney sighed pulling the sleeping bag a little tighter.  ” There are a whole mess of things that deal in the bringing of life and death.  Ostera was just one of the more pleasant to deal with.“   Laura shifted in her seat leaning into the sharp turn.  ” Lay off the fucking gas or you’re going to drive us right off the side of this fucking mountain.“ he spat. Ignoring him Laura continued her questioning  ” Yea,  but who exactly are we going to see,  cause I  don’t want to be walking in blind here.“ Sweeney groaned frustrated by her insistence .  ” You’re gonna have to trust me here… It’s… It’s fucking complicated ok?“  
” How fucking complicated can it be?  This person,  God,  thing,  whatever, can either help me or not.“ Laura retorted side eyeing him.   "Actually Dead Wife,  it’s pretty fucking complicated.  We’re walking into possibly thee most important fucking thing that’s happened in this country’s short life span and I was not exaggerating when I  said a whole MURDER OF GODS will be there. A whole murder of selfish, self-centered cunts all trying to out do each other.”  With a groan Sweeney hung his head in his hands. “The fucking pricks.” He muttered under his breath. “ And we’re to ask  a personal favor from one of the most bitter cunty cunts of them all.”
He sighed cocking his head and giving Laura a condescending tight lipped smile. “How the fuck do you think this is gonna work out, hmmm?” His gaze shifted unfocused out the window. “The price will be very fucking dear,  I’ll tell you that much.” he muttered gravely.
Laura huffed.  She was willing to do whatever it took to reunite her and Shadow.  Her determination was singular which Sweeney both admired and was irritated by.  He had pissed off Grimnir showing up in Kentucky with the Dead Wife and he knew he would make him suffer for it.  But Mad Sweeney didn’t want to dwell on that.  That was a fuck up to be paid back later, possibly never if he got his coin back.  Now, he had to figure out how best to approach this new problem.
"I’m just saying,”  Laura continued “ that if you gave me a little information,  maybe I could be more prepared when I meet this being to plead my case or pay the price.”  " You won’t have anything she’ll want.“ he sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Then what will she want?” Laura asked cautiously.  Sweeney sighed shaking his head.
“What do God’s usually want?  A tribute in blood.”
Mr.  Nancy stood watching the line of cars, motorcycles, buses, even a horse drawn carriage or two  snake up the road towards the House on The Rock.  A meeting like this was unprecedented in his entire long existence. All manner of Gods and deities would be in attendance and it excited him to his core. He had tailored himself a new suit for the occasion, vivid peacock blue paisley with golds, emerald greens and deep amethyst purples.
He had been ordered to wait for one in particular, a wild card in this possible war.  He pulled a pair of gold opera glasses scanning the horizon. From far off he spotted the helicopter. It landed in the grass just outside the grounds.  A petite Hispanic woman gingerly emerged. Her raven’s wing black hair was cut in a severe bob brushing just the edge of her jawline, she was wearing oversized mirrored sunglasses which hid her nearly black eyes giving her a thin veneer of normalcy to mask the brutality that coiled within her skin.
She held out her arms and walked towards Nancy  "Oh Anansi!“ She exclaimed in slightly accented English,  ” How long has it been?“
"Girl, not, long enough”  he said giving her air kisses as they embraced. She wagged a manicured finger at him.  "Oh,  don’t tell me you’re still angry about New York?“ She threaded her arm through his and they began to make their up to the house.
"You very nearly got me killed”  he grumbled. She tutted at him “Oh please, no one could possibly kill you,  you’re Anansi,  King of Spiders or… something?“ She waved her hand dismissively as he gave her a side eye. “ If you remember correctly it was your old friend who started it.” Mr. Nancy tutted at her comment.   “Besides, you have hundreds of black history professors a crossed the country singing your praises.” Her red lips curled in a mirthless smile. “ You’re safe…for now.”  
Mr. Nancy chuckled at the jab, “Oh look at you miss thing,  you get a few dope peddlers on the border praying to your ass to help push their poison and suddenly you’re ‘Miss Big Shit. ”
"Oh darling,” she squeezed his arm, “Don’t be jealous.  It doesn’t suit you.  You know my re-branding has worked wonders.  I don’t understand why you and Wednesday are so resistant to change.  I get prayers,  they ask me for blessings and I answer them,  simple as that.”   She snapped her fingers.
Mr. Nancy scoffed.  " Re-branded? That’s just some more white techno bullshit.  From what I see is that they took a fierce fuckin’ goddess, a dealer of death,  and sanitized her.  White washed her power with the oppressors Catholicism and made you a Virgin Mary knock off with some skull paint,” Mr. Nancy stopped regarding her figure with a long gaze up and down, “ And honey, we both know that virgin is not a word that should be associated with you whatsoever.“  
The woman’s obsidian eyes hardened as her grin grew wider, nails shiny as a black widows body clutching tightly into his arm. She stood on her tiptoes, whispering into his ear, ” Every gram is a prayer,  every headless corpse a offering.” She canted her head with a smile “ I don’t see anyone offering anything to you.
Mr. Nancy chuckled, he knew he struck a nerve. "Does a few hundred Narco traffickers cut it?  What happened to the woman who stood atop a pile of thousands of skulls and demanded more for her kingdom?  Oh and those mother fuckers listened.  By the thousands they listened and then they would sacrifice themselves when there was nobody else.  You’re going to tell me you’re satisfied with a couple pits filled with a few hundred bodies?  I think not Mictēcacihuātl,  or do you prefer your slave name,  Santa Muerte? ”
“ You’re taking me to see the Grim Reaper? ” Laura asked half bemused. Sweeney scoffed. “The Grim… fucking…no,  not that asshole.  He couldn’t resurrect his cock to fuck himself. I’m talking about someone who doesn’t give two shits about Grimnir…” Sweeney trailed off in thought. Laura could tell by the expression on his face he was worried, though he’d never admit it. “What’s her name” she asked softly.
“Mictēcacihuātl.“ He said with a sigh."Mic… te..kaki…”  Laura tried to pronounce the unfamiliar name but was interrupted by Sweeney.  "Nope,  don’t even try,  you’re just gonna piss her off.“  “I can’t even try to say her name?” Laura looked at him confused.
“No you fuckin can’t. How do you think these gods know things? Whispers on the fucking wind bringing them murmurs from mortals. They can hear them or one of their fucking familiars will. Especially their old names.  Just say Santa Muerte.  It’s the new name and not as powerful as the old.”  Sweeney thought for a moment “ Actually, don’t even say that, I don’t want her knowing about this before we even see her. Just call her Mika, but not to her face. You say nothing to her, got that!” Sweeney shook a large index finger at Laura who just rolled her eyes jamming the gas peddle down.
"So, how do you even know Santa…er Mika? ” she asked shaking her head. It all was starting to feel overwhelming. A delayed shock, everything being real, gods existing, walking among them with fantastic and terrifying power, snatching spring before her very eyes.
Sweeney shifted uncomfortably in his seat, avoiding eye contact. “We have… had a thing.”   Laura’s head snapped around to look at him causing the van to swerve off the road slightly. Sweeny reached over,  swearing in Gaelic, correcting the vans course.  " Eyes on the road you fuckin eejit.“  Laura continued to gape at him ” Wait, so you’re telling me you somehow fell dick first into Death?”  She began to laugh hysterically. If anyone was going to do something so asinine it would be him. “ God, you really are fucking stupid.” she said shaking her head.  “When the hell was this?“  
Sweeney look away slightly sheepish. He suddenly had become very interested in a loose thread on the sleeve. “ I don’t know,”  he mumbled plucking at the thread. He fidgeted uncomfortable as Laura’s gaze bored into him from the driver’s seat. "It was 80s for fucks sake.” he exasperatedly snapped.  Laura sat back in thought for a moment.  " Wait…what century? 1880s? 1980s?“
” Both.“ He said with a shrug. 
Somewhere in Texas  1884
Sweeney had been walking alone in the desert for what seemed like days.  The miners he had been traveling with had abandoned him long ago.  Too much trouble even if he did always seem to have money for whiskey and women.   They’d waited until he drank himself into a stupor, took his clothing, shoes and pushed his sorry ass out of a wagon in the middle of the night.  He awoke to buzzards circling.
"Fuuuuuuuck” He groaned slowly raising his arm to shield his eyes from the brutal summer sun.  His skin had already turned crimson,  his lips beginning to crack.  To top it off was the massive headache pounding out a steady rhythm in his skull.  With a herculean effort he forced his large frame to his feet and began gingerly walking in what he hoped was the direction of the last shitty mining town.  Cursing his poor luck he checked to make sure his special coin was still in his possession. Seeing that it was he wondered who or what he might have pissed off to place him in this predicament.  His coin was powerful,  but not all powerful.  
He came a crossed an outcropping of rock and took shelter from the scorching sun, gingerly sitting down on his burnt ass.  A scorpion scuttled up the rock in front of him.  " Get ta fuck"  he spat as he half-heartedly struck at it with a piece of wood he was using for a walking stick.  It was late afternoon, the desert terrain was shifting colors, burnt umber,  dark purples, it looked painted and unreal.
Even though the sun hadn’t set completely the moon sat low on the horizon. A harvest moon, like a red jewel in the sky.  It seemed so close, as if he could just reach out and pluck it from the air like one of his gold coins.  A fat rattle snake slowly slithered in Sweeney’s direction, interrupting his reverie causing him to jump to his blistered feet.  " NO,  FUCK NO"  he yelled in it’s direction.  “ This can not be the end!? I refuse to die in fucking Texas!!” He screamed impotently toward the moon.
Adrenaline in his veins, he struck out again.  He was severely dehydrated and having hallucinations about his time as a bird.  Naked,  restless. always moving.  He thought he was miserable then,  the freezing damp of Ireland seeping into his bones.  The night of Texas was the flip side to that misery.  The oppressive heat being released by the earth determined to dry every bit of moisture,  leaving him a husk.  
He wandered for hours,  the sun had long since set.  He felt the eyes of the night creatures on him.  The moon seemed to keep them at bay.  Another night of this and he knew he wouldn’t be so lucky.  Jaws snapping,  tearing flesh,  breaking bone.  He shuddered.  
Stopping to survey his surroundings he saw what he thought was a beam of light in the distance.  “Maybe a homesteader?” He didn’t give it much thought as he hobbled as fast as his burnt body could towards it.  A one room cabin came into view,  a candle sitting in the window.  Sweeney was desperate,  he knew that folks around here were a trigger happy lot, but he bet on his natural charm to win whoever it was over.  He had to.  He gingerly stepped onto the porch which gave off a loud creak.  He stopped to listen.   He hear hard sole shoes padding the floorboards inside.
He cleared his parched throat and called out to the person on the other side of the door.  "Hello?“ He rasped  ” I mean you no harm. I was separated from my wagon train,  there was an ambush by the natives…” He stopped for a second listening, his tongue darting out across his dry cracked lips. “I barely made it out alive!“  he lied smoothly.  "Please,  could you help me?  I’m burnt and haven’t had water in days.”   Sweeney was answered with silence.  He took a step towards the pine slat door trying to see in through the gaps. It seemed empty except for the candle dimly illuminating the interior.
“Please.” He begged resting his head on the frame.  His strength giving out.  "I’ll give you gold,  I’ll give you whatever you want,  just… please.“  he whispered,  praying that whoever was on the other side had a shred of compassion.  Suddenly light filled his vision and cold steel jutted into his chest.  It took a moment for Sweeney to refocus.  A small woman stood before him.  Dark skin,  long wild black hair falling around her shoulders.  She was wearing a white linen tunic top and a long red skirt.  A belt of bullets crisscrossed her torso.  Her eyes almost black boring holes into his green ones.  She pressed the shotgun into his chest saying something in a language he had never heard before.  His vision began to swim and he collapsed into the darkness.

First track of BEAN’s new EP + Chat
In two weeks we are releasing a 4-track album by a young German producer that listens to both the artist name BEAN and his other name Benjamin. We thought it was time for an introduction and we are doing so by having a little chat and sharing a first track of his upcoming 'Dawn' EP.
goodmorning Benjamin, how are you?
im little bit ill but ok so far
what u up to today?
well i had to get at 6 in the morning to get a new table from ikea , delivery lol - my table im working on atm is way too small , its my chilhood one , thought ok lets step up haha
haha :D what are you working on then?
mostly i do music , got this mini nova with some keys , gonna step up a bit with a bigger range of keys to get those lovley chords. and im working on my pc , im into IT
so how is your creative process?
good question , some days , like yesterday i said to myself ok you nedd to do music today , cause i hadnt for almost a week - i stard ableton and just make shit around and if im lucky one instrument (mostly the kick) is right and i work on it , i have always in ming i dont only wanna do a technical good track but rather a track that sound bit weird and has always an heavy AND emotional site. sometimes i have ableton open , allready late to anything , not showered and in jogging pant but still just try around - those tracks are the best lol
is that how the EP 'Dawn' was created?
yea i was drunk once and thought about tracks , nice tracks but with no conection to their artists ..if you know wha i mean - i wanned to focus on the kick drum and emotional. my main thought was not to make an ep only for the club or otherwise not at all
How was the experience of working with Kareem Lotfy?
well it was funny , im very shy usually but he seemed very sympathik to me , you showed me some of Kareems art , you wrote him than i did and on the next day i went over to kareem with a friend of mine. than after a beer and a general chat about music life etc lol he showed me his musik , i showed him mine he said he can hear the kick affection too 🙂 than he starded to work on some ideas of the artwork - how he worked looked so "easy and fast" but he def knows exactly what hes doing !
yeah i know what you mean... have you heard his track on 'Mono No Aware'?
yea i did yesterday , i like it a lot hes building up emotions - but one thing why i liked him and his work and i agree on is , he dont seems to be in any thighten scene , so am i. i think u can hear that in the music
is there any scene you relate to a lil bit?
well since i started with music and before i guess i tryed to avoid scenes groups or so for the reason that i dont wanna get set anywhere , i always wanned to do my thing and wanned to have the "freedome" to change my styles etc without anyone saying " u cant do that people wont like it bla bla bla". and i dont trust a lot of people
i feel you i feel you... do you dj or play live?
well , i used to play live with ableton , when i starded with techno at around 15 - now i play a 45-1 hour set of only my tracks on these dj things lol. i used to play on partys from like 14 to 18 , couldnt dj , just play a big set of any dj and get some money hehe thats how i got new shoes etc
haha yes. it's the same for all of us... your track 'Copy', the one we are sharing today, can you tell me something about it? -and why you want to share this one firstly?
imho its a very strong track , very agressive but has this to me very moving and unique synth part - its like the ep has a few sides , not a pure dancey track and not pure melodic.
oh yea, what did you dream last night. and do you have dreams for your future?
i dont remember but i didnt sleep for long tonight , i have dreams for the futre , realistic dreams and some simple ones , i have very clear aims with my music not in any labels or so , i m just sure that music is my thing. one dream is to go to any restaurant u wand lol no matter the price haha
haha, what's your favorite food?
u yea those spicy hot wings and any type of asian food i guess i use soy sauce on anything even sweet things sometimes... i have a bad taste , my friends say.
Okay that's a good ender, talk to you soon benjamin!
have a good day man!
