ENTRY 001
THE HUMAN DIDN'T REACT BADLY AT ME
IT OFFERED ME THE SHELL IT HAD
IT FREAKED OUT WHEN I REACHED FOR ITS FACE
I'LL BRING IT A PRETTY SHELL IF IT COMES BACK
…IF
Skeppy: -I mean, you look pretty freaked out
Techno: I'M FINE
Art for @simplepotatofarmer (my main motivation for making rivals duo fanart)
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of Technoblade and Dream. Dream is in the foreground, Technoblade in the background. Technoblade is a human with pink hair, a black diving suit, a red shirt, and red fins. Dream looks semi-human, with finned ears, dirty blonde hair, pale skin, and the start of a green tail. Dream is looking at Technoblade, while Technoblade looks at a rainbow-coloured shell. There's text in a black font that reads "ENTRY 001" near the top left on the screen, directly below the water. END ID]
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of Technoblade. He's wearing swimming goggles, a black diving suit, and a red shirt. His pink hair floats above him, and he appears to be holding his breath. Text in a black font reads "THE HUMAN DIDN'T REACT BADLY AT ME". END ID]
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of Dream. Dream is a mermaid with finned ears, dirty blonde hair, green tail scales starting at the top of his chest, and four-fingered clawed hands. His thumb isn't visible. He has wide eyes and a wide smile, reaching for a rainbow shell that Technoblade's hand has an index finger on. Text in a black font reads "IT OFFERED ME THE SHELL IT HAD". END ID]
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of Technoblade and Dream. Dream is in the foreground, Technoblade in the background. Technoblade is a human with pink hair, a black diving suit, a red shirt, and red fins. Dream looks semi-human, with finned ears, dirty blonde hair, pale skin, and the start of a green tail. Technoblade is clearly panicked, kicking his feet to swim away from Dream. Text in a black font reads "IT FREAKED OUT WHEN I REACHED FOR ITS FACE", explaining Technoblade's panic. END ID]
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of the water, the main focus of the image being the text "I'LL BRING IT A PRETTY SHELL IF IT COMES BACK". A boat is visible at the top of the screen, Dream's hair at the bottom. END ID]
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of over the edge of a boat. Technoblade is to the right, while a coral reef is visible to the left. Dream's smile is highlighted in screen in a dark area of the coral reef. Skeppy's speech bubble, on the boat, reads "-I mean, you look pretty freaked out" in a cyan font with a black background. Technoblade's speech bubble, a red background with white font, reads "I'M FINE" and is placed slightly over Skeppy's speech bubble. Text in a black font reads "…IF" in the water. END ID]
