#this and the bbh and skeppy one

blue happyduos for the soul

[pyrosomatic-metamorphosis]

i keep thinking about bad's vacation outfit. mostly, i keep thinking about him not wearing armour.

bad is, fundamentally, not okay rn. his son got kidnapped. the code attacks are starting again. people keep going missing left and right and skeppy isn't here but he's been missing him from the start. he lost the election by a single islander vote. there's been a lot of pressure on him for a long time, and he's finally starting to crack.

the thing about bad is that he does NOTT talk about his emotions. he's silly about it. he plays games about it. he will never answer a straightforward question with a yes or a no, not unless he's lying. when forever asked him he was okay, he said yes.

i think... there's really something about him, repeatedly, saying he's on vacation. sure, yeah, take a break, but he keeps throwing himself into danger anyway, he's still taking care of the eggs. he's silly with it, but i don't think his "vacation" explicitly means "i'm taking a break." I think it means "i'm not someone you can rely on right now." what? not being at the top of the island/egg defence squad because he's falling apart at the seams? :D nahhh he's just on that vacation grind! look at him! he's so silly! he's building skeppies and he's being so silly !

and. god. the way he's absolutely clinging to skeppy right now. i get the sense that he takes a lot of comfort from skeppy, just from the existence of him. can you imagine being alive has long as bad has? losing and losing and losing and losing, and then you finally find someone you can't lose? skeppy is bad's emotional support diamond and he is Not There to emotionally support him. bad keeps throwing tantrums when people ignore him, and he keeps building skeppies.

he's never going to say he needs help. he's never going to say he's not okay. he's going to say "i'm not crazy" and "i don't have an obsession" and "yes i'm fine" and "i'm on vacation" and not wear his most protective armour. the ARMOUR. bad boy halo the most paranoid parent on the island keeps running around with several eggs at his heels when he's wearing only enchanted sunglasses and boots. WHEN THERE ARE ACTUAL CODE ATTACKS. WHEN THE CODE HAS THE ! SWORD. if "i'm on vacation" means "i can't help" then the lack of armour is a physical, visible reminder. it's the closest he can get to saying "no, i'm not okay."

and man.manm an man. the whole thing with dapper right now. dapper is the only one who really knows the extent of bad Being Weird right now. pomme has a good idea of it, but when she asked about bad "is he going insane again?" dapper's response was "he never stopped." i've seen lots of talk about bad needing dapper more than dapper needs him (and its TRUE. god. it's so true.) but dapper is also! not doing okay! kiddo was very recently kidnapped! he takes after his dad and doesn't overtly express his distress, but the way he was scared of getting too close to elquackity at the talent show... the way he and pomme huddled together when bad left them alone for an hour... he's watching his dad fall apart in front of him, and there's nothing he can do about it.

from a roleplaying perspective too i LOVEE how bad is slowly, slowly ramping up the skeppy obsession. he's clinging to sanity so he can be a good dad to his kids, but his kids are so mortal. so fragile. bad isn't; bad isn't wearing all of his armour. and skeppy isn't; bad is placing more skeppies around the island. i adore this man's roleplay i hope he gets WORSE

“We all move in together! Me, you [Richarlyson], Skeppy, Forever, Dapper! Just one big house!”

“He’s made of diamonds, Forever will love him!”

“Look, I’m just saying Richarlyson… I got 2 hands! I got 2 hands”

BADBOYHALO IS THE BIGGEST 4SKEPHALO SHIPPER????

[gooperts-gunk]

richas being scared to meet skeppy because of q!bbh's taste in partners, truth is, q!bbh loses himself without skeppy. skeppy's the only good one, without his skeppy he goes crazy. one might say, metaphorically, he's been put in a room with no skeppy. and no skeppy makes him crazy. and crazy? mayhaps, this isn't the first time he's been crazy.

[ultra-raging-ghost]

thinking about how bad remembered cellbit.... we expected him to remember skeppy and remembering foolish wasnt a surprise but he remembered goddamn cellbit too.... thats crazy, thinking about them

[theredcuyo]

Okay, but, picture this one with me

Skeppy finally gets to the island and blah blah right?

Then Bad is like "Oh, you know, you should adopt Dapper!, you're his other parent anyway and always have been i would never accept anyone else"

And Dapper and Skeppy are like, yeah, sure, but because cucurucho doesn't feel like being nice to Bad, makes it so their process is hell incarnate

Then, while trying to sort trhu the absurd amount of documents, Skeppy half joking says "You know, getting married to you would be easier than this and i'd be his step dad"

Bad takes it seriously tho mostly because even he is tired of this much burocracy

And that's why they're married it's because they're so in love of Dapper of course and they needed an excuse this was the easiest way

Bad being fond of Skeppy + "Domestic" by Carl Phillips

[demonstars]

why do we think skephalo is the way it is like, are they afraid of commitment or

so like imagine you're an emerging youtuber in the era whrre slowly it seems like minecraft content might come backafter its rise in 2015 and youre carefully setting up your youtube channel and you have your minecraft server with a lot of fun games and you're careful about yourself and the information you share online because the web is a place you have to be wary of even if your friends dont think so. and then this guy appears and makes you laugh and stuff as he trolls you and he puts up a mean persona but he's really caring and asks if he goes too far and whatnot. and it's fun! and it's nice to talk to someone knew even if he knows some of your friends already and it's nice but then you two start to get really close and it's scary because he's an internet friend and at this point you would really kind of die if he wasnt your friend but he keeps making more jokes and insisting to meet you and youre afraid if that would upset your balance or if he might expect soemthing else from you two meeting up so you reflect and ignore and lie and it upsets him but again you really couldnt do without this friend at all and everyone else knows and teases that fact and when you two finally meet it is different and it might've been a thousand years and the happiest day of your life but you're. still scared. and lets not even add how he just started feeling this way (from what you can tell.) but he had this reputation and also how the internet treats people from your circle which yuou're still wary off and nobody here knows your age correctly and your best friend is willing to post a song detailing his complicated feelings about you two. and i think. yeah may be commitment issues

The “Happy” Family: BBH, Dapper and the bonus Skeppy

QSMP: Taking care of Eggs is Magic (?)

Basically, I saw a tiktok and my mlp fan inside woke up from its slumber, which ended with me drawing ponies (lol). This’s the second set of a few that I already have sketched of the families of the server (mostly the ones I like, so it’s not going to be everyone). I'll be posting them soon.

If you are curious about more details, check below.

BadBoyHalo: “The grim reaper of the server”. While at first it was more of a cosmetic than a thematic decision, I quickly realized that BBH as a Changeling made a lot of sense, especially when compared to MLP's Thorax: 

“A gentle soul who is believed to be evil because of the sins of his kind  and who, thanks to being accepted by one individual, managed to change his nature and do good”. 

Considering BBH's past lore as a demon who did terrible things and now instead being the greatest guardian angel on the server, I think it suits him pretty well.

Fun fact: While I see bbh being with the original changeling version on the server, me being me, I had to make the reform changeling version too (as horrible as the color logic for them is, I think I managed to get it to work).

Skeppy: "The one at the gas station". The fact that Bbh manage to make him  canon on the server despite everything still makes me laugh; clearly you can't separate these two. What to say about the race, the diamond boy as a crystal pony? perfection! Also, considering the close relationship that changelings have with the crystal kingdom, once again, a duo that created itself.

Dapper: Without even delving into my own logic on how to design the eggs as dragons, Dapper has made it more than clear that he's a miniature version of his caretaker (with his own quirks of course). For the same reason, the color palette came directly from BBH, while it was impossible for me not to give him the eyes of the other supposed caretaker, even if he is completely absent (but hey, Bad made him canon hahaha).

If you thought I was going to make them all ponies, it's obvious that you don't know me (?)

[hyperfixation-symposium]

I love them all dearly and I need to draw them more. Just sillies, just silly guys.

I am not going to survive 4 days no BBH stream-

[l-3-m-n]

i like the idea of Bad, at his first arrival being unemotional, taking souls despite not being their time yet because death is inevitable and you'll die anyway so why not just end it now?

so he'd be walking around the earth for centuries with that thought process until he'd meet someone, a child. who'd make him mourn and grief, making him realize just how precious life is. and how fragile it was..

he'd learn what mortal's call 'Empathy'. Becoming sympathetic to those he would accompany to the afterlife.

Then, he would meet Skeppy. Someone he would cherish, someone where he'd learn how to get accustomed to his own feelings, desires and dislikes. Though, not everything stays forever.

Loneliness was inevitable to beings like him, he'd come to terms with that.

but... he couldn't help but yearn for more. something.. similar.

same soul, different body.

yes. reincarnation.

Skeppy will come back, he can wait.

he can wait for years or centuries more. just have patience.

of course, skeppy isnt the only one in his undying life, he'd meet people from history books to people no one knew existed. he would accompany himself to them until his one special soul drops back down again.

so yerpp!! this is my idea of what Q!bbh's upbringing would look like (we love major character development!) the reason why i think that Bad would be unemotional at first is because no one would start out nice and stay that way for centuries, especially when you might've brought a MAJOR CATASTROPHE in your arrival.

also you can see how i kinda implied *some* obsession at the end... living for centuries and having front row seats at massive mortality rates can pull some screws loose y'know? it also explains the reason why he refers to skeppy as a being of 'multiple', because Bad actually might or might not have went out of his way to find reincarnated versions of the same person.

also!! the child, i like to think is a past life of sapnap (or whoever Bad "adopted" first)

[pyrosomatic-metamorphosis]

(ao3)

The worst thing, Bad knows, is the way that nothing changes. 

The clouds move slow across the sky, gentle giants on an eternal trek. The waters dance with fish; the brooks burble and sing. Grass grows. Sheep eat. Grass regrows. 

On, and on, and on, and on. 

Bad breathes in, slow, and holds it. 

It’s enough to go mad over. To become enraged for. To rip everything down just so that everything can match the- the keening lack in his heart. Grass grows. Grass has always grown. There is nothing that could ever stop grass from growing. 

His hands are curled into the ground at his sides. He clutches handfuls of the wretched plant and pulls, almost gently, and doesn’t snap a single blade.

He exhales, slow, and doesn’t inhale again. What point is there? He’s alone. No one will know whether or not he needs to breathe. He’s been alone before- days that Dapper doesn’t wake up, days where the other eggs are with their other parents. Days where he falls asleep in his chair and the ghosts are left to amuse themselves. He’s been alone before. 

He’s lost before. 

There is a sob in his throat. He refuses to let it out. It chokes him, and he takes another deep breath to try to settle it. 

There’s always- he misses Skeppy. Of course he misses Skeppy. He can’t lose Skeppy, but Skeppy isn’t here.

Dapper isn’t here. Pomme isn’t here. Richarlyson. Leo. Ramon. Chayanne. Tallulah. They’re-

Bad tears the grass out of the ground. He stares at his hands, dark claws curled around torn green plant. He tries to imagine the grass is white fur instead, but he can’t find the enthusiasm. That’s okay. The anger will be back later. 

He just- he can’t feel much beyond the loss, right now. The lack. The empty, quiet island where sheep eat grass and clouds keep moving and no eggs place any signs at all. That’s not okay, but he knows that, at least, will change. That’s how grief works. The world ends, and you end with it, and while you claw yourself up from the rubble the world ends again and sends you back under, and then again, and then again, but by the third go around you know what the tremors look like. You start to predict where it hurts the most. Then the world keeps ending but the ending just becomes a part of your world, and sometimes everything shakes but you shake with it and it’s not okay but it’s better. You get so used to the shaking that sometimes you forget that your world ever ended at all. 

How long will it take for him to forget them? 

Bad leans forwards, slowly, until he slumps into a miserable little puddle of limbs. He presses his cheek into the cool grass and when the sob rises up again he bites it back with teeth. The sun is blocked by a sombrero, now fallen awkwardly over his face, that Foolish had cheerfully placed on his head hours before. Bad doesn’t know why Foolish had put it there- except he does, and he’d seen it in the in the slightest tremor of Foolish’s smile, and so he’d kept it on. 

He can’t see them, but he can hear them laughing. Mouse, Jaiden, and Foolish, just around the corner. There have been so many people ‘just around the corner’ today. They’re so loud. They’re not the right type of loud. He feels guilty for the way that they’re comforting him, that he’s taking up their time, and then he feels angry that he feels guilty because he remembers the cage, and he knows what he really means to them, and-

They’re still here. The eggs are gone, and they’re still here. 

Forever isn’t here. 

Forever hasn’t given him a gift basket yet. 

…

…It doesn’t work. It’s a close thing, though- there’s a flicker of irritation at the thought of Forever’s awful, handsome face. Not anger, not nearly enough emotion to fill the void that is Bad’s heart, but maybe it could be. He’ll try again tomorrow. Isn’t that fun? Isn’t that something? There’s so much emotion he can’t feel any of it at all. 

Maybe it’s a bad dream. There were no remains. There was just Dapper’s top hat, and Pomme’s beret. No shell, no dead eggs. No eggs. It’s driving him mad, the maybe-yes maybe-no nature of his children’s fate.

He thinks, maybe, that tomorrow he will build a drill. 

Today, the world is dark beneath the sombrero, and the grass is scratchy and full of small twigs. Foolish laughs once, too loud. Automatically, Bad pushes himself up, because he knows Foolish, and knows how long he’s been away from the group, and he feels sick. He fumbles for his warpstone and- Foolish’s head pops around the corner- Bad freezes. Too late. 

Foolish looks at him, grin bright and neverending. Bad looks back. He can’t bring himself to say anything- he drops the sombrero at their feet. 

Foolish’s smile fades. Bad activates his warpstone again and, though the particles, he sees Foolish give him a sharp, left-handed salute. Bad can’t bite back his little laugh; Foolish knows him, too.

And then Foolish is gone. The world is purple. Then the world ends, once again, in Bad’s home. All of Dapper’s machines have stopped. Echoing noise to almost-echoing silence. Ah. Right. None of the island’s machines are working correctly. Bad will have to make a smaller drill. But he will build his drill, and he will dig, and he will find his son. 

“Dapper?” he calls, his voice cracking. The sound echoes. Only the animals answer back- they’re the only thing that stops the base from being completely silent. Grass grows. Sheep eat. Grass regrows. There’s so many animals here. What good company. It occurs to Bad, suddenly, that they’re good company. Dapper is gone, and his animals are still here, and Bad- 

He won’t kill Dapper’s pets. He is suddenly holding his scythe and he won’t hurt his son’s pets because he can’t trade them for his son and there’s a special sort of heartache to the fact that his son left behind instructions to machines that don’t work and so many animals that can’t keep Bad company the way Dapper kept him company and Bad- 

He’s holding his scythe. He’s holding the Sunshine Protector. He tries to take a breath but it comes out stuttery and he bites his tongue and. Dapper was-is always so sweet. He made Bonnie to keep Bad company, and Bad is always haunted by little ghosts but now most of all he is haunted by the love of his son. 

“Where are you?” His voice cracks on the third word. He stumbles to Dapper’s room and doesn’t think about the fact that they never got to build one for Pomme.  

The hole in his heart could swallow an island. 

Please don’t take- 

The scythe gets left outside. Bad can’t bear to look at it. Protector. There is a secure door in front of him that keeps nothing secure because now there is nothing to protect and Bad- 

-my sunshine away. 

He falls to his knees next to the empty bed. He chokes out, “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you, Dapper.”

When the sob rises again, he lets it.

hi hello i would like to share with the class (i don't go here, still) :

i do not want skeppy to go live. i don't want them to announce he's joined purgatory 2. instead, i want the official stream tomorrow to involve one of the one eyed workers just walking into a gas station and finding skeppy there.
