Let me tell you about one of my high school friendsā old Dungeons and Dragons PCs.
Olaf Olafson was your pretty straightforward Northman Barbarian type. Huge, strong, pale, red-haired and with a tremendous beard. What made Olaf special was the little things.
Despite living in a world with clerical magic, demons, and other powerful alignment-based Outsiders, Olaf was an atheist. This was because his people believed the last world had already ended and the gods went with it (basically post-Ragnarok). All that was left wereĀ āspiritsā. Powerful spirits. Who could grant deific magic. But they werenāt gods, and you didnāt have to worship them- in fact you shouldnāt, because it would just inflate their already swollen egos.
Despite being an enormous, frightening, powerful man with dubious hygeine and a propensity for going literallyĀ berserk in combat, Olaf was a gentle fellow in towns and villages, had a deep fondness for small fluffy animals and children, and was a generous tipper.
Olaf liked to drink. Not mead, but wine. He liked to sip it. It made him feel ācivilizedā. He never drank it quickly enough to get drunk. His meals almost invariably consisted of āWine. Meat. Cheese.ā Which was what he would order in literally every tavern. Theyād ask him to clarify, what sort of wine? What sort of meat? What sort of- Olaf would raise a hand and repeat, slowly, as if to a fool: āWine. Meat. Cheese.āĀ
Olaf spoke broken common, more or less Hulk-speak, referred to himself in the third person almost exclusively, all that fun stuff. Then we had a story arc where I sent them up to Olafās homeland, where everyone spoke āNorthmanā or whatever the hell I called it. While up there, he was incredibly fluent. Even poetic.Ā āMy brothers! I have returned from the decadent lands of the south, bearing riches and glory, and tales of great deeds!ā The other players caught on and talked like a pack of movie Frankensteins, barely able to communicate in the foreign tongue.
For a long time, Olaf was the most financially stable member of the party. Because he bought a tavern in their home-base-town, hired the senior barmaid/waitress lady to be the manager, and funneled the profits back into the business. He kept his adventuring money and his tavern money separate, except when he would sometimes spend adventuring money to expand the tavern.Ā
Ā Thereās not a lot to do in 3rd edition with skill ranks when youāre a barbarian, so eventually Olaf sank a point into Healing on a lark. A few sessions later, they captured an important enemy NPC, but heād lost an arm in the fighting and was about to die. Their cleric had been captured and their NPC paladin wasnāt around, either. There was no magical healing available, and no one else had anyĀ ranks in healing. The dude was about to die, and take with him the knowledge of where their friends had been taken. Olaf- with a Ā single rankĀ in Healing I remind you -offered to save his life in exchange for the location, and the guy agreed. Olaf then stuck a sword in the fire, saidĀ āOlaf see this once,ā and cauterized the wound.
It worked, of course. I didnāt even make him roll. I was too busy trying not to piss myself laughing.Ā āOlaf see this once.ā Jesus Christ.

Here are some things about the end of the world: Itās amazing how much normal life you can fit into it. How many silly jokes and dumb mistakes and strange half-baked cults can happen while itās crashing down around you. You can spend an hour watching the moon grow closer and think itās beautiful and this is the end of it and mean both things. Even as the earth tears itself up, there are more things to build, and more moments to cradle in your hand.Ā
Here are some things about creating: It never ends. There is always one more detail to add. One more thing you wish you could have done. You go around and add those candles, fix that block thatās been bothering you. You take a step back to see what youāve made and you canāt say it is finished, because it never will be. But you say it is good and you mean that wholeheartedly.Ā
Here are some things about goodbyes: Theyāre not so bad. You look around at the world youāve made and the things youāve poured yourself into. They are pieces of you, pinned to a map. They are your friends in stone and clay and mountain. And itās so bitter to leave, but so sweet to see, and it feels like something sad and kind. There is love, here, in this world, and thatās why it hurts to leave it. Better, you think, to leave what you love than to never have loved it. You have played the game well.Ā
Here are some things about the Void: It loves you. It has loved you since you opened up the crust of the earth and invited it to be a centerpiece in your home. Itās taken you back into the embrace of stars more times than you can count. It has consumed you and returned you again and again and now it cradles you.Ā
Void should mean emptiness, but this is anything but empty. After all, you are here, and you are not alone. Here lies the heart of the universe, the place between worlds, and it promises that you are love and you are held, and then there is another world waiting for you.Ā Ā Ā
Here are some things about waiting: Itās better with friends. Waiting is hard alone, but easy with a hand to hold, and you have so many hands here willing to hold you.Ā
And here is a thing about home: you are taking it with you. And here is a thing about home: you are leaving it behind. You can do both. The universe is built on paradox, and you are not separate from the universe.Ā
You close your eyes and you know when you open them, there will be a blue sky, and a new adventure, and another game.Ā
Wake up.Ā

first peice of writing!
I have just posted the first peice of writing for the au!!
Itās a oneshot that is tommyinnit centric and talks about when he first started skating and his life before meeting everyone else!
~~~~~
Summary:
Tommy canāt remember details about his childhood, but he can remember every negative comment that was said to him.
He hates that he can remember it, but he can.
Because people are not the kindest when youāre fourteen and capable and in front of the cameras.
His last memory of skating is from a few months before he turned fourteen.
And while Tommy doesnāt remember a lot of his childhood, heās making new memories with Phil and Techno and Wilbur and his new best friend Tubbo, and heās going to be okay.
Because Tommy smiles easier now.
He grins and laughs and lets himself live in the moment and heās genuinely happy.
Now, finally, Tommy is happy.
~~~~~
The oneshot can be found here:Ā https://archiveofourown.org/works/41097918
