#Trying to decide if I should add Skeppy too

Okay- so for the past few days I've been thinking about another new au
This time an au based partly on Nimona (film)! It starts out similar, centered around Dapper and Bad.
The main kingdom has mostly overworld creatures in, only recently started accepting nether creatures from their portal into the kingdom. Bad is the first nether creature let into the federation of the kingdom (as they call themselves) who run it and keep it 'safe' from those not from the overworld.
Bad is accepted as the first nether creature in the federation, being given the chance to be in a low ranking role. It is common for nether demons to have a more 'demonic' form, used for protecting their loved ones, themselves and their home, but not every demon has one. Bad is one that doesn't.
However, during his initiation ceremony in front of the kingdom after years of training, he suddenly becomes a more demonic form and attacks. Nearly killing the one doing the cermony, one of the nearby guards end up slashing off one of his horns and leave a large scar on his cheek.
His weight ends up breaking the stage, causing him to crash through and run away, escaping out the main kingdom and into the forest surrounding it. Slowly afterwards he turns back into a form more like his own, but too tall, horn, ears and tail too long, wings too big, claws too long and legs to animal like.
Taking refuge inside an abandoned cottage he found deep in the forest, he slowly starts setting up a home there until he heard someone inside when he was away trying to get food.
Once he enters, he sees a dragon child, looking around the age of 7 swinging from one of the chains. He looked like he could be a nether creature yet had more features of a dragon than any nether species Bad knew of. He introduced himself as Dapper, claiming to be his new sidekick to help take down the federation, as much as Bad insists that's not the case.
-------------------
I have MUCH more planned for the au already in mind, just don't want to make a long exposition dump on everything yet! I also don't have a name for it yet.
I don't want this to just be a Nimona au too, so while it maybe be based around it I'm changing a lot about it that (hopefully) will make it more of it's own thing!
Most the players and all the eggs on the qsmp are part of the au! I'm just leaving them for another time >:D
Bad and Dapper's designs for it! Bad slouches due to not being used to the sudden change in height (going from about 5'9 to 7'6)

- Phil works on the basement some more
- Tubbo works on his outpost
- Tubbo comes over to the Arctic and visits Phil in his basement to “spy” on him 
- They go to Tubbo’s outpost and Tubbo asks if Phil would like to make a TNT canon with him. Phil sees Las Nevadas 
- Tubbo’s a changed person since he tried to kill Phil’s friend, and now he and Phil are on good terms!
- Tubbo and Phil start attempting to wrangle a Ghast together for the outpost
- A few days ago, Quackity told Fundy that he could have a plot of land in Las Nevadas under certain circumstances, and Fundy has a choice to join the nation or not
- When he and Quackity spoke, Quackity said that this plot of land can be his if Fundy can find himself. Fundy needs to fix what’s broken
- Living in the middle of nowhere away from other people isn’t good, so today, Fundy wants to take care of himself and become a better person
- Fundy’s snow fox is outside, but Fundy decides to let him roam for the time being
- Fundy goes outside and creates a board with signs: 
FUNDY’S PLAN TO BECOME BETTER MAN:
Healthy diet! fish, steak, vegetables, fruit, dary, grains
Take care of himself. be able to cut down tree fast
mine diamonds
be able to accept therapy say “im okay with therapy”
good friends, get 3 people to say im a friend
sleep
take care of pet :)
learn to count
- He sets up a timer to do these eight things, and once it starts, he immediately runs off to fix his diet
- Fundy fetches some cod from the sea and spots Tubbo’s outpost in the distance. Curious, he goes over -- if someone lives there, that can go towards his friend goal
- Seeing that Tubbo isn’t online, Fundy messages Phil instead. He asks if they are friends, and Phil just asks what he wants. After a lot more pressing, Phil says they are friends! Fundy is his grandson, after all
- Phil asks if Fundy is safe. Fundy is overjoyed that he cares about his safety, and counts that as two friends! Fundy says he should come by to play cards sometimes, and Phil likes the idea
- To himself, Fundy whispers: “You are a friend and you are appreciated and worth something. You are cool. You are special. You are loved.” 
He counts this as the final friend, and has now completed one goal!
- He creates a small patch of dirt and plants wheat, then goes mining for diamonds
- Fundy chops some trees and returns to his house
- On his bed, he psyches himself up and musters up the courage to say something
Fundy: “I...accept...and am okay...with...”
(he struggles to say the last word)
Fundy: “I accept and am okay with...therapy. I accept and am okay with THERAPY!”
- He then goes outside and learns to count by killing zombies
- After that, he has to go find his pet snow fox. He asks a nearby Enderman where he is
- Fundy and the Enderman go searching together
- Fundy can’t find the fox. He keeps searching around the forest, until he comes back towards his house and finally finds the fox sleeping on a nearby hill
- With all his other goals done, there is only one remaining: sleep.
- He goes to his bed, hesitates...
...and sleeps.
(This is a set up for next stream)
- Foolish returns to his summer home from Las Nevadas and finds the WAR sign, confused. He then notices the disappearance of the supreme fridge
- He reads the war note left in the chest for Ponk and is outraged. That fridge was his gift! Of all the buildings that have been built here, the fridge was the one thing he allowed
- There will be consequences, but as Foolish will be gone for a bit, he can’t do anything now. 
- Foolish begins to go through the stages of grief, mourning the fridge, before leaving a note:
---
You destroyed my fridge. It was my gift from Ponk. The one structure that was built for me on this server was destroyed. Once I go through the 5 stages of grief...I will then add on a bonus stage.......REVENGE
---
- He kills one of the L’Sandburg citizen llamas to send a message
- Foolish goes to the main area and visits Eret’s fortress, noticing the totem statue Eret made in mourning. He changes the sign to simply say “in honor of Foolish” instead
- While working on his pyramid some more at the summer home, Foolish notices Antfrost just over the hill. Ant comes over, seeking to apologize for killing Foolish
Foolish: Listen Ant. From the very start I blamed the egg. And I don’t believe the REAL Antfrost killed me. Nice to see some blue eyes as well
Ant: but we didn’t listen to your warnings, we had our chances and we betrayed you and our friends. I wouldn’t blame you if you killed me right here
- Foolish doesn’t. He tells Ant that he’s moving on. 
- Ant asks if there’s any way to make it up to him, and Foolish says he could use some help gathering sand (Antfrost finds sand tasty, but Foolish doesn’t eat sand. It has too many calories)
- The two gather sand together
Foolish: I hold nothing against you
Ant: thank you
Foolish: Honestly I think the banquet has changed me for the better
Ant: how so
Foolish: It has given me new found strength. Basically from here on out...I’ll be less timid to take action
Ant: well at least something good came out of it
Foolish: So how about you Antfrost, what’s next for the old sly cat
Ant: I need to talk to Puffy and Bad and Sam and everyone I’ve wronged
- Ant asks if Foolish has seen Puffy anywhere, whether there’s something he can give her as a peace offering. She likes llamas
- Foolish thanks Ant for his help. Ant says if Foolish needs anything, to let him know. Foolish looks forward to happier times
- Puffy comes on later and finds the book Foolish left in the chest. She reads it, but she still thinks getting rid of the fridge was better for the aesthetic, and she had to get back at Ponk
- She writes another letter, this time to Foolish, titled “To my sharkyson”:
---
Dear Foolish!
It was not my intention to make you sad or angry! I didn’t know you cared so much for the fridge as well. it was kinda ugly and it stood out so much from the rest of the builds! But I assure you I’m not allied with Bad, my whole goal behind L’llamaburg was to keep an eye on Bad so he didn’t build any further on your land or cause you more problems.
Once Bad was gone I fully intended to disband l’llamaburg and tear it down!
Sorry for any sadness I may of caused.. you don’t need a fridge though to be reminded of how Supreme you are!
---
- Ant is at the animal sanctuary. Everything’s been destroyed, but at least Floof is still alive
- He saves Asshole the fish from suffocating out of the water and puts the fish back in the aquarium
- Ant goes looking for Bad. They need to talk
- They meet at the Community House. Bad hasn’t seen Ant in a while, he hasn’t been around. Bad asks if Ant is okay, and Ant doesn’t know. He died
- Ant asks what happened. Bad says things didn’t work out according to plan. Ant remembers Quackity coming in at the Banquet...
Ant: “Bad, what did we do? I killed Foolish...”
- Bad says stuff happens and he doesn’t think anyone would blame Ant
Ant: “Bad, I killed him! What do you mean you don’t think anyone blames -- Bad, we’re monsters! Do you know what we did?”
Bad: “W-well, I try not to think about it!”
Ant: “Well you can’t just ignore -- you can’t act like we didn’t do -- Bad, I killed Foolish, we were gonna kill E-- oh my god, Eret’s on the server too.”
- Bad thinks it’s fine, Foolish will recover and Puffy killed Ant but it was one for one. Ant remembers all the horrible things he said to Puffy before he killed Foolish and asks where Bad went afterwards
- Bad had no choice but to run. He couldn’t save Ant, they were outnumbered
Ant: “...Do you not feel bad about anything? Bad, we’re...we’re mon-- we did horrible things!”
Bad: “Well I mean, yeah, you did do some horrible stuff...”
Ant: “No, YOU! You did some horrible stuff! Who pushed Skeppy into lava, Bad? Who betrayed their friends? We betrayed Sam, Bad!”
Bad: “Okay, we did some horrible stuff -- hey, no! Okay, but -- there were good reasons at the time, or we felt like there was!”
Ant: “No! No no, Bad, we let the Egg control us! No! Did the Egg give you what it promised?”
Bad: “No, ‘cause...we never completed the plan...whatever it was. Ant, I can’t remember exactly...it’s not -- look, it’s -- I don’t know...”
- Ant asks if he’s talked to Sam and Puffy yet. Bad’s trying not to think about it, but Ant says they can’t ignore this. They’re friends, they should make amends
- Ant asks if Bad’s been back down there, but Bad’s steered clear. Ant is feeling normal again
Ant: “I...Bad, do you not...We’re fucked up! We did horrible things! Our friends tried to stop us, and we didn’t listen! We didn’t do anything!”
Bad: “There’s a lot of ‘we’ going on here...”
- Bad points out Ant didn’t really say anything. Ant accuses him of blaming him
Bad: “No, I’m just saying that...if the collar fits!”
- Ant says they both did horrible things, they dragged Hannah in, Punz too and Ponk. Bad hasn’t checked up on those three since. It doesn’t seem like Bad feels bad. Ant’s been gone because he felt ashamed
- If there’s anybody that they’ve hurt the most, it’s Sam. They were the Badlands
- Bad says they were brainwashed. He knows it’s not an excuse, that they should still own up to it even if they weren’t fully to blame
- They both killed one person each. Ant accuses Bad of putting the blame on him again and says that Bad killing Skeppy was worse because they’re platonic soulmates
- Ant wants an apology for letting him die and leaving him. Bad didn’t do anything, he just watched Ant die. Bad was caught off guard. On the other hand, maybe it was a good thing that Ant died, since otherwise they would’ve killed more people
- Ant says they should own up. Bad apologizes for letting Puffy kill Ant. He should have protected Ant, not just from Puffy but from the Egg too. Ant forgives Bad and says sorry for not protecting Bad from the Egg either
- Seeing as Puffy’s online, Ant suggests they go look for her. Bad says he’ll talk to Puffy later. Ant asks about Skeppy -- Bad talked to Skeppy right after what happened, but he hasn’t seen Skeppy since. They had a bit of a confrontation
- Ant wonders if Sam will forgive them. The Badlands wouldn’t be the same without him. He leaves Bad
- Puffy comes down the Prime Path and meets Antfrost face-to-face. The two have a bit of an awkward greeting
- Puffy reminds him of what happened. He doesn’t know how to apologize, but he says sorry. For saying awful things, for killing Foolish. He doesn’t expect her to forgive him, but he apologizes for what he did
- Puffy says it wasn’t right that she killed him, even though she was acting defensively, and she apologizes as well. Ant didn’t deserve to die either, he was blinded by the Egg. She holds Bad more to blame -- Antfrost talked to him recently
- Puffy forgives Ant. She asks how Bad handled it, and Antfrost says Bad is full of guilt and is hoping he can just forget about it
- Bad hasn’t apologized to Puffy, but Ant says he’ll get around to talking to everyone. Puffy made a burner Twitter account to hate on Badboyhalo and if she doesn’t get an apology, she might have to use it
- About L’Sandburg, Ant says he was there for like five minutes, but he doesn’t know what’s been happening since
Puffy: “Ant, you have to be your own person, Ant. He always uses you as his little pet to do things for you, and you murdered a man now because of it, because of Bad.”
Bad uses Antfrost to do things. Why didn’t Bad kill Foolish himself? Why was Antfrost thrown under the bus?
- She tells Ant that he needs to stand up for himself. She had to watch so many “RIP that pussy” and “Why’d you have to kill my cat” edits, it was the worst timing
- Puffy messages Bad asking if he’s apologized to Ant. They spot Bad nearby and walk over to confront him. He’s selling arrows
- Bad says he said sorry for letting Ant die, but Ant wants an apology for Bad making him do everything. Bad says they were both just following the Egg’s orders, that Ant had a grudge against Foolish -- but Ant says he didn’t, that Bad said he had to kill people
- Bad says sorry, but the Egg just wanted it that way. They accuse him of making excuses. Bad apologizes to Antfrost for making him kill Foolish, and the two hug
- Bad and Skeppy had a disagreement after the Red Banquet, and he has to check up with him to make sure he’s okay
- Bad says sorry to Puffy for what they did while under the Egg’s influence. Puffy was told that they were turning a new leaf, letting bygones be bygones so many times that if she took a shot every time she was told that, she would get alcohol poisoning
- Bad says sorry for everything to both of them, from the bottom of his heart. Puffy accepts to be the bigger person. They’ve always been a trio, always been friends, and now that the Egg’s no longer here, she’ll let it slide
- They do a group hug
- After some chatting, Puffy accuses Bad of having a Wattpad account to write Skephalo fanfiction and they continue talking about Skeppy’s merch boxes
- Michael joins the call! They all hang out together
- Later on, Eret and Foolish join in as well! 
- A while after, they all go over to Ponk’s stairway to heaven to finally destroy it
(The build dates back to at least early July, possibly June, of 2020)

Upcoming events remain the same.

“Who am I without you?” “Yourself.”
I’m thinking about how this exchange lowkey set-up some of the themes and character motives we’re seeing in season 3. How our own personal identities and self-worth are tied to people we care about- and how something that is typically seen as beneficial can be harmful.
Like in season 2 we saw several characters struggle with their internal identity, who they are, how they fit into this world, and should they act for themselves or others. It wasn’t really the focal point though, season 2 was more about sentimentality and the emotional value of personal property. Season 3 so far has been more about the deeper affects of social bonds and individuality.
Bad has sacrificed his individuality to the egg despite knowing through first-hand experience how awful being under it’s control is. His argument with Quackity implies that he doesn’t want to be under the eggs control and that his constant preaching over how wonderful the crimson is seems to be more to convince himself that he’s doing the right thing, all to help save his best friend because he doesn’t know what he would do without Skeppy. His noble devotion to saving his best friend is both selfless and selfish as he’s not only hurting himself but everyone around him by forcing them to suffer through the controlling and harmful affects of the crimson alongside him.
Bad’s situation kinda parallels with Karl’s, every time Karl time travels it becomes harder to remember what happened and he looses a bit of himself. He fears one day forgetting who he is but he refuses to stop until he’s ‘righted some wrongs’. Again, we see a character sacrifice who they are for the sake of other people, putting others over themself. Karl may be saving the SMP from some terrible fate but by doing so he’s destroying himself, which isn’t just bad for him but for the people who care about him like his fiancés who have already lost so much. The situation is made tougher by Karl deciding it would be better to keep his powers a secret, leaving him to bear the burden alone and those around him without answers to his dwindling memories. The possibility that Karl’s actions may be making things worse adds a layer of irony to his sacrifice, potentially showing that being selfless to this extreme isn’t a good thing.
Ranboo’s character struggles revolve around his ideals of putting people first over the idea of ‘sides’, and how he struggles with that because the people he cares for are all so divided. He also struggles with the concept of identity on several levels: he only knows half of what he is (enderman and something else), the half he knows is causing him to black out and ‘enderwalk’ leaving gaps in his memories, and the big one being his dilemma with the Dream voice reminding him of things he’d rather forget because he can’t cope with the reality that he’s hurting people he loves behind their backs. He keeps on trying to ignore it and while the voices stopped for awhile in it’s place the ‘enderwalk’ blackouts started becoming more frequent indicating that Ranboo is still very stress. This culminates during the “prison visit.” He’s put into a very awful position: Ranboo doesn’t want to hurt his friend and he doesn’t want them to abandon him if they find out the truth so he shoves it under the floorboards, but the heartbeat of his misdeeds are tearing him apart- making him lose his sense of self and leaving what remains of his identity on shaky insecure foundation.
Other things fit with some of these ideas too: Phil’s lingering guilt and desire to bring back his son, which may tie into Dream’s book that Schlatt gave him, Jack’s self-worth being heavily influenced by how Tubbo perceives him and thinking that by getting rid of Tommy he’s doing Tubbo a favor but Tubbo “just doesn’t know it yet” as a way to justify his need for revenge, Niki and Fundy both feeling left behind by those around them and how they are reacting to those feelings in different ways, their also may be some subtle things going with Tubbo and his lack of self-worth based on his reactions when Dream was about to kill him. I want to talk more about them but I feel like I need to catch up on their streams first so I don’t get anything wrong y’know.
Anyway I hope this all made sense of some level- I really like rambling oops-

To celebrate your finals being done here's a little gift for you from the resident evil eggpire au you inspired me to do also because the world needs more yan bad.
Bad was glad he had finally found where Skeppy had fallen asleep, his own mutations from the mold had granted him strength and power beyond his wildest dreams but for his dear friend it had sapped him of his strength and left the man with mild narcolepsy. He had left his subordinates could decide the fates of the three intruders while he moved the sleeping Skeppy somewhere safer than just sleeping on the floor. That was the plan however his vines informing him that they had easily decided the fate of the first two with Ponk claiming the green haired man for his surgerys and Hannah claiming the white haired woman to feed her to his vines which would strengthen him arguments seemed to arise however when the third intruder was brought in. Letting out a sigh of frustration he placed his friend on a nearby chair not the best place but it was better than the floor.
Swiftly he strood towards his throne room, he could hear the argument before he even walked in it was so loud, Hannah was trying to claim this third one to feed his vines while Punz was arguing that he wanted to add them to his little defence force neither Ant or Ponk were doing anything to stop the argument either. Walking into the throne room (no longer needing to duck through the door since they had just finished renovating the castle to accommodate his new height) and reclined on his throne turning his gaze to his subordinates finally ending their little argument. He lower his gaze to where the last intruder was only for his heart to leap into his throat as his eyes roamed over their kneeling form, his subordinates took that as an invitation to restart their childish arguing, he had to get a better look at them was the only thought in his head as he stood and made his way over to them not realising that it was once more silent. Grasping their downturned head between his thumb and pointer finger forcing them to look at him as he stared into their eyes full of tears that he could see them holding back trying to put on a brave face. Oh they were adorable they truly were he could feel his heart race as he just lost himself in his little muffins eyes unfortunately he had to let go of them as he stood to his full height and declared to his subordinates that he would be claiming them, they turned to look at his little muffin red eyes full of reverence as the true meaning of his declaration sunk in as he left the throne room he left one last declaration that they were to prepare the celebrations, he had to go to his seamstress he had needed his wedding suit to be made he couldn't remember a time he had been so happy.
The happiness didn't last however once a cowering servant came to inform him that his future spouse had escaped, he couldn't blame you not truly after all his little muffin must be so stressed with the wedding so of course they got wedding jitters but he couldn't go after you himself even if his vines knew where you were it was bad luck for you two to meet before the wedding after all. Oh if you wanted to play a game then why not make it hide and seek, you would hide and his subordinates would find you and maybe he should give a boon to the winner of this little game hahaha oh his little muffin could run and hide all they wanted but before the end of the night they would be wed.
Ender-anon
Hope ya like your "little" gift that kinda ran way from me with its length.
Omg Ender thank you so much for blessing us with this- I am in LOVE!!!! I am,,, have been simping for Bad for AGES MAN- absolute perfection. And resident evil- GOD I’m being SPOILED!
Anyways did I mention how fucking absolutely PERFECT this is- like mmmmmmmm ahaha. My only experience with resident evil has been the most recent one but I’ve always been interested by it- so forgive me for being ignorant.
Bad to Alcina parallels- am I delusion or are y’all seeing this too? Some connections yea but not all... okay mostly because they’re both 9’6”, essentially got kids,,, wait is Bad more like Mother Miranda in this situation??? With the subordinates being the four lords? Minus Skeppy, of course. Haha Mother Miranda vibes go brrrrr- Big connection to that fungus, everyone argues and listens to Bad, he got his own mf THRONE- it all makes sense. Jk jk- unless imm right-
But seriously I am,, in McLove. And idk how to add on to this ngl- other than CHILD. Yes a CHILD. He gifts you a fucking kid as your wedding gift or some shit. Infected by the fungus, of course. He’ll try to get you infected as well. All is good when you’re infected, after all. And you’ll REALLY be bonded to him- maybe that’s a second layer to the marriage?? To make sure that you never leave him?
I’m sorry is it obvious that I’m writing the continuation of “Mistakes were Made”

My Best Friend in Blue
Hey so the creator of this AU is @antarctic-bay !! It’s really amazing and I want to say that I things I write are not canon! And my writing style is very weird in this I am so sorry, I can’t form cohesion sentences for shit
That being said take this shit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Best Friend in Blue
Techno didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, it wasn’t something that really upset him, he had his brothers and everyone else was either annoying or just didn’t seem to like him. He didn’t care, he was perfectly fine on his own, he was quiet, more reserved with a cold demeanor, loud things were distracting and got on his nerves, so how’d he end up with this guy?
It started when he was 10, he was at the park with his brothers, Wilbur was on the swings, Tommy was on the playground equipment and Phil was making sure Tommy didn’t fall off of said playground equipment and Techno wasn’t sure what to do so he wandered the park until he heard a loud voice say,
“I can SO do magic! Just watch!” Techno looked over to see someone his age, dressed all in blue, chest puffed out. He stood in front of two other kids, Techno stopped to watch. The boy pulled off his bright blue beanie, it had a stupid face scribbled on it with marker.
“I’m going to make this hat,” He paused dramatically, “Disappear!”
He spun in a circle, throwing the hat behind himself before stopping in front of his friends, waving his hands, “See! Magic!”
One of the blue boy’s friends gasped but Techno just rolled his eyes. “You didn’t make it disappear, you just threw it behind you,” He pointed out, crossing his arms. The boy whipped his head around rapidly before spotting and making direct eye contact with Techno.
“No! I made it disappear! You’re probably just jealous you can’t do it!” He said, voice raising slightly.
“No you didn’t and I’m not, you just threw it over there,” Techno said,not unkindly, pointing to where the hat laid, bits of mulch stuck to it.
“No! It- I was-Ah!” The boy frowned before yelling, “Shut up!”
Techno just raised an eyebrow and walked away.
He had started fifth grade, walking into school everyone told him that the fifth graders were the oldest at the school so they were the role models, they had to set good examples for the younger kids. That made Techno think of Tommy, he wondered what stupid thing his little brother was doing. The teacher told them to find the desk with their name and sit down.
The desks were arranged in groups of 4, Techno found his and sat down, fidgeting nervously. He took a deep breath, trying not to let his anxiety get the better of him, he decided to look at the names of the people who would be sitting around him.
‘Milo’ was in front of him, ‘Hannah’ was next to him and diagonally was someone named ‘Skeppy’. Milo, Hannah, Skeppy. He repeated the mantra in his head, maybe they would get along, maybe he could make friends.
His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar loud voice and a chair screeching across the tile, it was the blue boy from the park. Of course it was, why wouldn’t it be. He sat at the desk with the name tag ‘Skeppy’ and he was still wearing a blue shirt and the beanie with the scribbled on face.
Techno froze and looked at his desk, refusing to look up, his anxiety spiked. He wanted to make friends but this would definitely ruin it, Skeppy would tell the others what he said and how much of a jerk he was, why did he say that at the park? He was so stupid, Skeppy wasn’t doing anything wrong, he was so stupid, this is why he didn’t have any friends-
He was ripped from his spiral by other voices, Milo and Hannah had sat down and Skeppy was introducing himself. Techno took a breath, made a fist and started running his thumb across his knuckles, maybe if he just laid low, Skeppy wouldn’t notice. His plan worked for like two minutes before Skeppy said, “Is that a pink pencil case?”
Techno jerked up as Skeppy leaned over his own desk to look at Techno’s, “That’s so cool! It reminds me of my friend-”
Techno just sat there in shock as Skeppy babbled on about his pencil case, unsure on what to do. Skeppy continued until he made eye contact with Techno.
“Wait, you’re that kid from the park! The one that doesn’t believe in magic!”
Milo and Hannah gave him a weird look, not cruel, just confused. Techno didn’t know what to do, he just quietly stammered it was barely more than a whisper. The desk clump stayed like that until the Teacher started talking loudly, Techno wrapped his arms around himself, feeling nauseous.
This was going to be a long year.
For the first few weeks of school he barely talked to the other students, he didn’t see the point, he answered questions in class and finished most of his work early, gaining the quiet, smart kid title from the rest of his class. His teacher had told him if he kept this up he could make it into honors classes in middle school. So even if he didn’t have any friends, he still had that going for him.
Until the dreaded;
“And for this assignment you are going to need a partner!”
Hannah and Milo reached across their desks to shake hands, so both of them were out. Techno bit his lip and stayed seated for a moment, before getting up to ask the teacher if he could work alone.
“No, this is a partnered assignment, could you not find a partner?”
Techno shook his head then immediately wanted to die as the teacher did that thing where she loudly asked who didn’t have a partner, basically broadcasting to the class that he was a friendless idiot.
She didn’t say that exactly but he knew she was thinking it.
“Okay, look, go work with Skeppy, you guys should make a good team!” Techno nodded and swore under his breath, apparently the universe just wanted him to suffer.
He walked back over to his desk only to find that Milo was sitting there and had pushed his stuff over so he could work with Hannah.
“Just take my desk for now, since you’re working with Skeppy,” Milo said, before going back to work.
Techno sat down stiffly as Skeppy looked him up and down, “Look I don’t want to work with you and you probably feel the same way so let's just do this on our own, okay?We can just turn it in at the same time.”
Techno nodded slowly, turning to his own paper, it was a math worksheet, he breezed through it effortlessly.
Techno had finished half of the first page in about five minutes, he looked over to see Skeppy still struggling on the first problem.
“You’re still on the first one?” Techno asked, trying not to sound rude.
“Yes! Shut up! Not everyone is as smart as you so just shut up!” Skeppy snapped, erasing aggressively.
“The teacher explained it though,”
“Yeah well the teacher did a bad job!” Skeppy stuck his hands in his hair, tugging at it.
Techno gently laid a hand on Skeppy’s shoulder, “Do you want help?”
“No from yo- Yes!- But- I don’t know!” Skeppy snapped.
“Here let me see,” Techno looked at Skeppy’s paper, he looked over the work before saying, “You’re dividing too early.”
“What?”
“You’re dividing too early, you gotta add this part first, then divide,” Techno said, pointing to the different parts of the equation.
Skeppy moved slowly, then started on the problem, solved it, then looked at Techno nervously, “Did I do it right?”
Techno scanned his work then nodded, “Yeah!”
“Wait really?”
“Yeah! You did it!”
“That’s awesome! I can’t believe it!”
Techno grinned, maybe this year wouldn’t be so bad.
He grunted as the same jackass from his class ‘bumped’ into him again, making him drop his stuff.
“Heh, my bad!” Jacob, the jackass, said in his stupid cocky voice, then continued down the hall as Techno stared daggers into his back, he wasn’t allowed to swear at school and he was supposed to be a role model, those were the only things stopping him from cussing the taller boy out.
It was the next day as he walked down the hall, he could hear Jacob’s shoes squeak against the tile, Techno tightened his hold on his things, bracing himself only to see Jacob flop on the floor next to him.
Techno jumped back, surprised as Jacob groaned, he looked to see Skeppy standing behind him, adjusting his beanie.
“Heh, my bad.” He said grinning at Jacob, then he looked up, “Come on Techno we’re gonna be late!” And with that, they took off, Techno smiling softly to himself. This was just the start of a blooming friendship.
He was walking to the middle school with Tommy to wait for Wilbur, when Tommy asked, “Are and that loud kid with the blue hat friends?” Techno thought about it for a moment, then “Yeah, he’s my friend,”
Tommy gave him a weird look, “That doesn’t make sense!”
“How so?”
Tommy looked deep in thought then declared loudly, “No wait it does! Because you like pink and he likes blues, so even if you guys are opposites your colors look nice together so it still works!”
“Really? That’s how you judge friendships? By each person’s favorite color?” Techno asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah! That’s how me and Tubbo are such good friends! Red and Green just go well together!”
“Okay, whatever you say.”
“Yes! Whatever I say!”
They were 12.
“You’re seriously telling me that you don’t know how to play kickball? When you live with that little ball of energy?”
“I don’t hang out with him and his friends,” Techno defended himself, “Okay I gotta teach you how to play, come on!”
“Can you help me with this worksheet?”
“Of course.”
“You haven’t seen that movie? How? It’s a classic!”
“I don’t know!”
“I can’t believe you actually dyed your hair blue!”
“I know right! I’m so happy my mom finally let me!”
They were 13.
“I don’t know Skeppy, he just gives me weird vibes, there is something off about him!”
“There is nothing wrong with him! You’re just jealous of the fact that I have been sending more time with him!”
“I’m not jealous of that nerd! I’m just trying to warn you!”
“I hate to be the one to break it to you Techno, but you are not God, you don’t know everything even though everyone tells you do you! I’m not going to stop hanging out with him! He’s my friend!”
“I don’t think that, jackass! I just want you to know-”
“I don’t care! Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to go hang out with my friends!” And with that he was gone.
Techno was quietly fuming, which made the walk home with his brothers hell, his whole demeanor was angry. He walked quickly and quietly, glaring daggers at anyone who dared to look at him.
They were half way home then Wilbur joked;
“Listen, I know you broke up with your boyfriend or whatever but could you atleast-”
“Shut up Wilbur!” Techno snapped back, Wilbur actually jumped. He looked between Techno and Tommy nervously.
“Okay, wow, I’m sorry geez, just trying to lighten the mood,” He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, “Touched a nerve there,”
They were still friends, of course they were, but they didn’t spend as much time together, Techno focused on school, his classes were harder now and Skeppy had gotten a job and spent more time with Bad and some other guy that gave Techno weird vibes.
They still talked. They were still friends.
They could never not be.
They were 14.
“You dyed your hair pink?”
“No, my brothers did as a prank.”
“It looks amazing!”
“..Thank you..”
“Look at us! Pink and Blue buddies!”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right, Pink and Blue do go together nicely.”
They were 15.
Techno was working on homework when he got a call from Tommy, who was at a practice.
“Hey man, uh, Skeppy is sitting on the roof of the school, I don’t think he’s gonna do anything stupid but he won’t respond to anyone else, even when we throw stuff up there.”
“Is he okay?”
“I’m not sure, he won’t answer me, but he’ll probably talk to you,”
“Probably, okay, thanks for telling me, I’ll be right there.” He hung up before hearing Tommy's response and pulled on his shoes before starting heading towards the school.
He had heard rumors at school. Skeppy’s former friend, spreading rumors and other things about him, lies, trying to ruin his reputation. Techno had debunked and told everyone he could otherwise but that damage had been done.
He rushed around the school until he found Tommy, who pointed at the roof, “He’s up there!”
“Thanks for calling me,” Techno scanned the building, “I need to get up there.”
“Well I don’t know how he got up there but what if we got on the dumpster and I boosted you, you might be able to get up there.” Tommy suggested, Techno nodded, not taking his eyes off the roof, “Yeah lets try that.”
Both of the brothers climbed onto the dumpster, Tommy cupped his hands together and boosted Techno who grabbed the ledge of the building, pulling himself up.
“Thanks Tommy!” and with that he set off across the roof, looking for his friend.
Techno found him sitting on a vent, looking across the horizon. He didn't move as Techno sat down next to him. They sat in silence for awhile until Skeppy said;
“You were right.”
“That doesn’t matter,”
Techno put an arm around his shoulder. They sat in silence, staring at the sky.
“I thought he was my friend.”
“He acted like he was,”
“I’m such an idiot,”
“No you’re not.”
“I can’t believe I defended him,”
“It’s not your fault.”
Skeppy leaned into him, “Thank you, for being here.”
“Of course, we’re friends.”
Skeppy laughed lightly, “Yeah, Blue and Pink.”
Techno smiled softly,Blue and Pink always went so nicely together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey Skeppy?”
“Yeah?”
“How are we gonna get down?”
“Oh shit-”

In which Tommy travels back in time and tries to prevent a nightmare from happening to everyone he knows. Everyone else, meanwhile, is highly concerned.

(first part) (previous part) (next part)
(word count: 3,079)
--------------------  
Part Six: Karl
This server is kind of weird. He’s only been here a few days, but he can already tell that much.
He likes it, of course. He wouldn’t stick around if he didn’t. He does like it, and there’s a few old friends here already—Sapnap, just to name one—and a few people that he thinks he’s going to become friends with very, very quickly. He’s even already working on building a pizza place, which is pretty neat. A lot of the land around here seems to be kind of a free-for-all. Except for the stuff in—what was it, L’Manberg? Which he has not been allowed to join, but it’s no real skin off his back. Other than that, though, there aren’t a whole lot of rules here. No stealing, no griefing, no going to the End. He’s cool with those.
But still. The place is kind of weird. He can’t describe it any way more specific than a vibe. A general, handwavey type of weirdness. Maybe it’s the people. A lot of the people he’s met have been a little weird. A good kind of weird, maybe, but still weird. Like that Wilbur guy, the president of L’Manberg. Very intense. A good talker, and fairly friendly, even if he didn’t let him join his country, but very intense. Or like Eret, who speaks with an odd kind of gravitas, phrasing things just so slightly more formal than the usual. Or like that guy who was pretty much naked. Quackity, he thinks. He seems like an interesting guy to get to know.
And then there’s this kid. TommyInnit.
“I need a favor,” Tommy says, apropos of absolutely nothing.
Karl’s just messing around with the pizza place for the moment. They’ve only got the foundations built so far, but Eret and Punz have both offered their help, and he’s looking forward to getting the place off the ground. Every server ought to have a pizza place, because pizza is the superior food choice. But he wasn’t expecting Tommy to come over to him, much less start off the conversation like that, and he’s feeling a little bit caught off guard.
What he knows about the kid doesn’t amount to all that much. From what he’s gathered, he’s loud, a little irritating, and a bit of a con artist. Not too weird on the exterior, but this? Right now? Is definitely a little weird, if only because the guy’s just marched up to him and asked him for a favor despite the fact that he’s only known him for about three days, tops. Which, he’s happy to see what he can do. The kid seems fine enough. But it’s weird that he’s asking him, specifically, for something, right? Instead of one of his friends? Of which he seems to have many?
“Um, that probably depends on what it is, but sure, I guess,” he says.
Tommy nods. He’s staring at him with some of that same intensity that Wilbur hit him with when they met. Which he supposes makes sense if they’re brothers, like he’s heard, even though Tommy didn’t present any of this attitude when they first talked. But then, first impressions aren’t always accurate.
“It shouldn’t be a big deal, I don’t think,” Tommy says. “I just need you to ask someone something for me. Simple, yeah?”
Again, he wonders why Tommy is coming to him with this. But he shrugs, leaning against the partial wall he’s gotten built. “It still depends on who and what, but I can do that. What do you want me to ask?”
Tommy stands straighter. “You know BadBoyHalo and Skeppy, yeah?” he asks, and Karl—still can’t see where he’s going with this.
“I know Bad and Skeppy,” he confirms, raising his eyebrows. Tommy takes that as a cue to continue.
“I need you to persuade them not to build somewhere,” he says. “Can you do that?”
“Probably,” he says. He’s hedging a little, but he thinks he’s justified. Tommy seems to be dancing around something here, and he’s not sure he likes that. “What exactly do you want me to say?”
“There’s a little bit of land over near” —Tommy scrunches his nose— “near Punz’s, I think—or, wait, is that—I don’t know if he’s—actually, it might be closer to Fundy’s? I can’t remember if—” He breaks off for a second, narrowing his eyes, looking away. But then, he looks back. “Nevermind. It’s not in L’Manberg. There’s a few little lakes and shit. Past where Purpled’s UFO is. You know where I’m talking about?”
“Um.” He tries to picture the area and comes up with a hazy approximation. “Maybe?”
“Alright, fine. Look, I’ll show you on a map if I have to. But the point is, I need you to talk to Bad and Skeppy, and I need you to get them to promise that they won’t build in that area. No building, no digging, no nothing. Skeppy’s gonna want to build a house to the north, and that—that’s fine. They can build wherever else they like, but that spot up there, that’s a no-go, alright? No one can dig around there, but mostly them.”
This is definitely weird.
“Can I ask why?” he says. “You’re not out to get them, are you? Or is L’Manberg planning to expand up there or something?”
“What?” Tommy says. “What the fuck are you on about? No, I’m not—I’m not out to get them. That’s fucking stupid.”
He holds up his hands. “Well, I had to be sure,” he says. “I’ve only been here a few days, I don’t know who likes who around here.” He pauses. “So, the expansion—”
Not that he really cares what L’Manberg does or where they spread the borders of their land. He may not be allowed to join them, but he supposes he’s not officially with the Greater SMP either. He hasn’t been here nearly long enough to commit himself to a side, especially when there doesn’t appear to be any kind of pressing conflict going on anymore. But if he’s going to argue Tommy’s case to some of his friends—and why Tommy has picked him for this task, he still has no idea—then he’d like to know exactly what he’s arguing for, and why.
But Tommy shakes his head. “No expansion,” he says. “Nothing like that. It’s just—look, man, it’s just bad land. Terrible land. It’s got—it’s got radiation, it has. So no one should go there, literally ever.” He waves his hands as he speaks, gesticulating emphatically.
Karl’s not sure he believes a word of this. But at the same time, he seems so earnest about it, or at least, about the part where it’s bad land, that it could hurt people. Maybe not the radiation bit.
“That sounds really dangerous,” he says, and watches for what the reaction will be, trying to get a feel for what exactly the catch is, here. “Shouldn’t we tell more people about this?”
Tommy jerks, and his eyes go wide. “No!” he says, definitely with far more force than should be necessary for a fairly innocent question. But it’s not really the force of someone caught in a lie and trying to cover his tracks. Nothing like that—he just sort of seems scared. “No, definitely not. It’s not—it’s not dangerous to walk on or anything. Just if you dig down. The—the radiation’s coming from under the ground. So as long as no one digs, or builds their home right there, it should be alright, yeah? Just, just tell them not to go poking around there, man.”
“Alright, alright,” he says, and raises his hands again, placating. “Sure, I can tell them. I honestly don’t know if they were planning to go up there in the first place. Uh, can I ask why them specifically?”
“No,” Tommy says, and does not elaborate at all, despite the obvious invitation to do so. The expectation, even. Which feels a little weird in and of itself, considering that from what he can tell, Tommy does enjoy talking. But nothing else is forthcoming, so he shifts his feet, clearing his throat.
“Okay then,” he says. “Okay. Look, I can’t guarantee anything, but I’ll try my best. I’ll even go with a different story than the radiation, if you want. I mean, Skeppy might want to check something like that out, you know? But as long as this isn’t some sort of plot to hurt them, I’m cool with it.”
“There’s no story,” Tommy mutters, and kicks his shoe against the ground. “‘S radiation.” He doesn’t even look like he believes himself, at this point, but he does look a little pathetic, and he’s got some big, sad cow eyes going on. Karl’s not sure whether they’re natural or just him putting on an act. But he figures it couldn’t hurt to throw the kid a bone, whatever he’s trying to accomplish with this. And even besides, maybe it would be beneficial to be in the guy’s good graces. He already has friends here, but a few more couldn’t hurt, since this server is so incredibly weird.
Weirdness can be dangerous, sometimes. He hasn’t decided yet whether this server is or not. Dangerous, that is.
“Whatever you say,” he agrees, and Tommy’s face melts into open relief when he doesn’t press further. There’s still something about this he wants to know, though, so he presses forward. “Um, but if you don’t mind my asking, why are you getting me to do this? Why not someone like Sapnap?”
He thinks it’s a good question. Sapnap is, after all, their literal son. So even though he knows them pretty well, considers them friends, if anyone’s going to convince them to do something, it’s Sapnap.
But Tommy just shakes his head, narrowing his eyes like it’s the stupidest thing he’s ever heard.
“Karl, pal, I know you’re new on this server,” he says, “but us over there in L’Manberg just fought a whole war against Dream and his groupies. Groupies that just so happen to include a certain pet-killing, fire-starting arsehole. No offense,” he adds belatedly, to which Karl just stares. “So you know, if I were to go to Sapnap myself, or even straight to Bad and Skeppy, they’d assume, and they’d be incorrect, mind you, but they’d assume that I have some sort of scheme in mind. A little plot, if you will. And I don’t. I’ve told you that, and I’m being honest with you. But if they don’t believe me, then that kind of defeats the whole purpose of warning them off, now, doesn’t it? So I thought to myself, well, maybe my buddy Karl could succeed where I wouldn’t be able to.”
He finds his lips twitching into a smile. The kid’s definitely a con artist in the making.
“Okay, you’ve sold me,” he says. “I’ll do my best to keep them away.” He pauses. “I’ve got a condition, though.”
Tommy goes still. “Yeah?” he asks, and it’s back to the tension, back to the intensity, and Karl almost regrets it. It’s strange, how quickly the kid goes back and forth between appearing to be exactly what he is on the surface—a kid—and seeming far, far older than that. “What’s that?”
“When you’re finished with whatever you’re working on up there, I wanna see it,” he says, sticking his hands in his pockets.
It’s the only explanation that makes sense. Tommy has some sort of secret project, one that he doesn’t want anyone else to stumble upon. Sounds like it could be a good time.
Tommy blinks. For a long moment, he is silent. And then his mouth twists into a grin, one that drags like a sharp line across his face and doesn’t really look like a smile at all.
“Sure,” he says. “The whole server might know by then, I don’t know. But yeah, when I’m done, you can come see, Karl.”
For some reason, the kid sounds like he’s pronouncing a death sentence. Which Karl is not going to examine too closely.
“Cool,” he says, and isn’t sure where else to go with this. “Uh, do you wanna hang out for a little while? Or—?” He trails off. The invitation is honest; he certainly wouldn’t mind spending time with him. But the vibes continue to be weird, and honestly, he would be surprised if Tommy took him up on it. He’s fidgeting like he’s got places to be.
And sure enough, Tommy shakes his head again.
“Nah,” he says. “Got places to go, women to see. You know how it is. See you around, Karl.”
And he turns to go. Karl decides to watch him until he’s out of sight, just in case, which makes it a little awkward when Tommy stops after about three paces.
“Actually,” he says, “do you mind if I ask you something else?”
“Go for it,” he replies.
Tommy hesitates. His hands clench and unclench, and his mouth opens and closes a couple of times. Struggling with himself, with whatever he’s about to say, and Karl waits. Patiently, he thinks, even though patience is not one of his strong suits. If ever there was a time to apply a bit of patience, it’s probably now; he has the sneaking suspicion that if he says anything to prompt him, Tommy will simply turn and leave without saying anything else at all.
“How do you do it?” Tommy asks, and his voice is different. Flatter, more tired. Does this kid sleep? “The whole—” He makes a broad gesture, which doesn’t clarify anything at all.
“The whole—?” he says, once it becomes obvious that Tommy is actually expecting some kind of answer to that.
Tommy makes a frustrated sound. “I mean, I don’t wanna spell it out,” he says, even though Karl is of the opinion that is what this situation needs, actually. “But the whole, the whole—look, I know, alright? We had—we found one of your books.” His voice cracks, and Karl feels increasingly out of his depth here. It’s almost like they’re having two entirely different conversations, because he has absolutely no clue what’s going on now. “So I know. And I get it if you—if you don’t want to talk about it. But it’s so—it’s just so fucking much, and I feel like there’s too much to keep straight, and there’s so much to do to make things right but half the time I’ve got no idea what my next move needs to be, and it’s—it’s just hard, man. So how do you—how do you keep it all together? I’ve tried writing some shit down, but it’s not helping all that much.”
“Uh,” he says. He doesn’t know what to do with that. This feels like an incredibly personal question, and he’s not even sure what the question is, he thinks. Is he even the one the kid wants to ask? Is he confused? Because Karl sure feels confused, so that would make two of them. “Huh?”
He tries to think of what book Tommy could be referencing and comes up empty. He likes to write things down, admittedly, places he’s been and people he’s met and stories he’s learned and collected, but he doesn’t have anything on him at the moment. He’d been planning to start afresh here. Maybe build a little library or something. Nothing too fancy.
“You know,” Tommy says, insistent, and he shakes his head.
“I really don’t,” he says. “I’m—look, I’m really sorry, but maybe you’ve got me mixed up with somebody. I’ve only been here a few days, and I haven’t really gotten to write anything down yet. Sorry, man, I don’t think I can help you.”
“But you—” Tommy starts, and then stops. He takes a few steps closer, and Karl has to resist the sudden urge to match him step for step, to move backward. There is a light in this kid’s eyes that he can’t place, one that’s almost like—something. Something that shouldn’t be, and he doesn’t have the words to describe it in any other way than that. But then, Tommy leans in, scanning his face, and makes a startled sound. “Oh, shit. You’ve got no fucking clue what I’m talking about.”
“I don’t,” he agrees, and wonders why that makes Tommy look like he wants to vomit. The light is gone, and he finds himself relaxing marginally.
“Oh fuck,” Tommy says, and steps back again, running his hand through his hair. His eyes are wide. “Ohhhh fuck. Fuck, shit, I—I’m too early.” He says the last in a whisper, as if to himself, and then repeats it: “I’m too early.” And Karl watches in horrified fascination as the kid visibly gathers himself, taking all of his emotions and stuffing them away somewhere in what is the most impressive display of repression he’s ever seen from someone under the age of eighteen.
“Are you—good?” he asks, because he’s confused, but he’s not a monster. Tommy’s obviously dealing with something here, and maybe that something is far out of his wheelhouse, but if he’s equipped to help, he will.
But Tommy backs up another few steps, pasting on a smile that shakes and wavers.
“No, no, I’m good,” he says. “Just, just forget about all of that, yeah? You’re right, I got you mixed up with someone. Happens all the time, since I’m so incredibly popular. So I’ll just—I’m just going to go, now. Sorry to bother you, Karl.” And then, he waves, a sad, pathetic motion, and stalks off, his steps quick and rushed. It’s a retreat. Karl would go so far as to say that he’s fleeing.
“You’re not a bother,” he says, but the kid’s already out of earshot. So he goes with his original plan and stares after him until the splash of red and white is nothing more than a dot in the distance.
He looks back to the foundation of his building. His first mark on the server. For a second, he feels so discomfited that he considers calling it a day and going home. But then, he shrugs it off. In the end, it’s a whole lot of not-his-business.
Though he hopes that whatever Tommy’s grappling with, he manages to get through it. He seems like a good kid.

Hi :D i wrote something and i wanted to share it with you, i hope you have a great day and feel free to add on - 🪐
a kid?
DISCLAIMER; sapnap is portrayed at the age of a toddler (2-3)
The tall demon wandered aimlessly through the nether without having any specific direction as he tried to find a fortress to get nether wart, although he didn't exactly need it he thought it would be pretty cool to make something with later on.
What had been hours felt like years as he finally spotted the fortress, quickly the demon sped up, it only took a few seconds to reach the structure with his tall form and long legs. Morphing down smaller so he could fit through the short corridors of the fortress he began his search for nether wart. From the outside he could hear the wailing of nearby ghasts, the oinking of piglin, there was also the closer noise of clattering bones of wither skeletons as they patrolled the halls of the fortress looking to kill anything in sight.
Bad kept his guard up as he went down the stairs into the room where nether wart grew, sitting with his back to the wall he cautiously began plucking the plump nether wart from their stems, as he was about to replant some incase anyone wanted to come and get some on their own he heard a rustle, his eyes darted around the room for a moment before they trained on a glow of fire.
Confusion is all he really felt. Bad didn't feel threatened, and he surely didn't know why. He didn't understand why his body had stopped him from attacking the moment he saw a glowing yellow eye peek out from behind the stairs.
“RAH!” suddenly the fire had popped out, the form of a toddler. Bad stared in confusion, had this child been trying to scare a random demon he had come across? Did he know how much danger he could have put himself in if it were anyone else? Did he know the nether was no place for a child, even a demon like himself?
The toddler’s expression dampened as he noticed the demon in front of him had no reaction to his very terrifying moves, Sapnap glared ‘dangerously’ at him, his hair spiking up angrily into fire. Sapnap grumpily whined and began stomping away leaving marks of ash on his way down the hall.
Quickly Bad got up to his feet and followed the child feeling the need to protect him. He knew the kid probably wouldn't wind up talking to him from his obviously angered state but he followed only for the toddler to keep looking back to see him still following.
Sapnap frowned as he looked over his shoulder to find Bad following a little bit back, with every move Sapnap took Bad took as well, the cycle went on until Sapnap finally turned around to the demon with his arms crossed.
“whaddyou want!” Sapnap babbled angry at Bad for following him for more than ten minutes.
a look of shock appeared on Bads face, he was shocked that the child could even speak, but then again he had little experience with actual children not to mention toddlers.
A grin grew on Sapnap’s face as he noticed Bad’s shock. “Go away, BITCH!”
Bad’s eyes widened at this “LANGUAGE!”
Sapnap’s fiery hair went away quickly after Bad’s loud wording, his pointy ears drooped and he shuffled farther away from Bad, he didn’t understand the concept of swears he had heard it from passing people as they stole from the fortress. Bad realised what he had done and bent down closer to Sapnap’s height and began speaking to him in a softer voice “I’m sorry, please don’t cry.” As he finished his sentence tears brimmed in Sap’s eyes.
Sapnap curled into himself hiding away from the demon in front of him. “Bad silently waddled his way over to Sapnap to comfort him. Bad grew taller stopping as his head hit the ceiling gently he picked Sapnap up into his arms holding him close, The boy fought a little before Bad began petting his hair, the Blaze-like child calmed down and leaned into Bad’s body.
“Do you have a Mama, a Papa?” Bad asked softly, his voice being slightly deeper due to growing, it would wear off at some point. He felt the quick shake of Sapnap’s head against his chest. Bad sighed softly and nodded, then he had an idea. It was an impulsive idea, he didn't even know if Skeppy would approve of this, I mean if the two lived together he should talk to him about taking in a kid. The thought of Skeppy briefly crossed his mind but it was quickly taken over by the child who had begun tugging at his heartstrings after saying he didn't have a mother.
Holding onto the boy Bad stood bending slightly and he made his way out trying to not disturb the now snoring toddler. As soon as Bad was out of the fortress Bad grew to his full height and made a dash to the nearest nether portal to get home.
muffin monster
DISCLAIMER; sapnap is portrayed at the age of 7-8
Bad set a plate in front of Sapnap and he and Skeppy both intently watched as the young boy began gobbling the food “Can I have another one?” he questioned the two men in front of him. Bad nodded his mouth agape and he set another muffin on his plate.
Sapnap smiled and he picked up the muffin tearing the wrapper off before he scarfed it down. For a while Bad and Skeppy had only been feeding him things that were organic to the nether before finding the boy with his face stuffed in the fridge eating the baked goods.
From that point on Sapnap was fed as any other person would.
the talent, the pure fluff, 🪐 I adore you
I hc that Sapnap didn't rly like Skeppy when he met him, why would he? he's lived most of his life as an orphan and when Bad --an angel, well, demon, but let's not focus on the technicalities, the gentlest most caring being he's ever come across-- finds him and after he decides to take him in Sapnap finds out he has to share his new dad?? bullshit
Skeppy understands and hides the disappointment when Sapnap looks at him coldly across the table or discards the toys he gifts him, Bad however, wants nothing more than to see the two people he loves most get along.
maybe he forces them to go on a bonding trip to the nether, maybe he leaves them along at home for too long. sometime after Bad brought a little orphaned fire demon into him and his fiancee's life, he comes home and finds skeppy and sap curled up in the couch, the shiny man is reading a book to the half asleep child and only turns to look at bad for a moment before returning his gaze to the book, a smile printed on both men's faces.

Thoughts on the swapped version of the Was-Taken family, including Darkza?
Tumblr media
Atlas jolts a little in surprise, eyes flicking around like he can spot the disembodied voice.
He’s in one of the work areas of his shop, having just been deftly weaving wires and beads together in a way that spoke of many years of experience doing so.
It takes him a few seconds to really register what was asked. He slowly starts his weaving again as he thinks. “...They’re…weird. I know it’s technically normal, but…it’s still hard to imagine a life like Tommy and Techno lived through. They’re both so…different. It’s mostly how their family is…not really a family. They don’t really seem to want to be one either, and it’s…just…weird. Like I said.”
He picks up speed again as he talks. “The easiest to talk about is probably Wilbur. He’s fine, I guess, even if he really should learn how to make food you can actually eat. He runs a burger van, he should be able to make decent burgers at least half of the time. It’s always a gamble, which isn’t really an ideal dining experience. We don’t interact much.”
“Next is probably Tubbo. I like him; he’s fun to be around. Definitely more on the feral side, but so is Dee. I really like when he, Ranboo, Tommy, Orph, and me all get together and do stuff. Quizzy sometimes comes along, but he’s usually busy with his and Skeppy’s restaurant. Purpled is…usually pretty focused on keeping things running around here, but he also joins us. It’s not often we can all hang out, but it’s nice when it happens.” He blinks, and realizes he’d gotten a bit off track. “But, uh…Tubbo is a little too much like Dee sometimes. It doesn’t help that the two of them learned stuff from each other. If either of them decide to go nuclear, we’re all doomed.”
There’s silence aside from the clicks of his pliers and beads rattling together as he picks up new ones to add to his piece while he thinks more.
Finally, he begins again. “Techno is…sort of hard. He’s half me and half Theo, but…sometimes in the worst ways. Even though I hate that Dad hid everything about here from us for so long–and could have stopped stuff just by talking, like he always told us was so important to do…” He pauses, taking a deep breath. “I hate that part of it, but I also know everything would have been worse if he didn’t know about it. So between a life where he didn’t know and he did but kept quiet, I’ll take the second one. I can see how he tried to help us be less…messed up. He kept trying to nudge me enough to feel things but not so much I shut down; he made sure nobody could hurt Theo; he made Orph feel as supported and loved as he could; he tried to help Dee with seeing through manipulation. I’d like to think in a world without a link to this one we’d have all been really happy.”
He frowns as he finishes the wrapping for the piece he was working on; a bracelet, apparently. The wires are snipped and pressed against the base to make sure they don’t poke out. The bracelet is set aside and the excess materials put away. “I don’t interact much with Techno either–Dad and Theo are more the ones who talk to him. He and Theo are both nerds about mythology. Sure, we got our names from Greek myth, but they both can and will rant about it for hours. Usually to someone they dragged into their argument about it.”
There’s another wait as he pulls out what he needs for another project. The carefully sketched design with notes scribbled along the sides is repeatedly referenced as he starts pulling things out. This one seems far more complicated than the last one; a large, intricate collar necklace with a motif of wings wrapped around the throat.
He starts talking while still pulling things out. “Phil is–sort of complicated for a lot of reasons. He’s…Darkza wasn’t ever part of my family. Not really.” If he told himself that enough times, he might even believe it. There were days that he could feel the emptiness that he had left in his wake, in his twisted form of affection that was warped by a first life he shouldn’t have remembered at all. “It’s easier than you’d think to remember that Darkza and Phil aren’t the same person. Phil has…at least a little warmth to him. He’s nice, even if I dislike him for different reasons.”
With a sigh he sits down and starts to shift things around to where they’ll be easiest to grab when he needs them. There’s a sense of it being a bit like a ritual for him. “Tommy deserved a better dad growing up. For all that things were messed up in ways that he says sound worse for me…? At least I knew my family was there for me. He…didn’t have that. He had Wilbur, and then Wilbur left. He did that willingly, and Dee didn’t. He left out a stupid, self sacrificial attempt to protect the rest of us. So–I’ll amend what I said about Wilbur. He was an awful brother, even if he’s trying to be better now. He hurt Tommy, and Tommy didn’t have anyone but Tubbo to have his back any more.”
The first signs of anger show as he speaks, a scowl forming. It fades a little as he starts working, though the silence seems shorter this time. “Outside of my family and Quiz, Tommy is my closest friend. He understands in a way that’s hard to really explain. I know he feels the same way. I knew we’d both get along when one of the first things he did when we first met–back when I didn’t even know that Dad used to be the Dream from here–was help me through a panic attack and then offered to listen. He said he got it, and it was–it was hard to believe. He does, though, and has the whole time. That, and he also got why I couldn’t really talk to anyone else about it. It was always…” he trails off, taking a deep breath.
“My brothers are all really strong. They’re strong in ways I still don’t know if I can ever be. I never disagreed with Dee giving Orph the presidency, because I would have folded like a wet piece of paper in an instant. I’m not as fast to pick up on situations as Theo, and Dee is just…Dee is scary with redstone. He once figured out how to raise and lower his bedroom wall without any of us realizing he was doing that. He was still a teenager then, too. And Dad? Dad was always invincible. I know he’s not, now. It’s hard to keep that image of him after seeing how he gets sometimes. He takes some worlds really, really badly. There have been some that he needs all of us nearby for a few days afterwards. There have been times that he goes unresponsive, which is…scary. It’s terrifying to think that he’s been that small and scared before, and he did that while hiding it from all of us.”
A shaky exhale is let out as he tries not to think too hard about those times. “But, uh…my point was that in my eyes they were, and sort of still are, stronger than me. So the idea of admitting to them that I almost gave up was unthinkable. Tommy had been there too, though, so it was…easier, I guess, to tell him. It was…the talk I had with him when I first visited here was really big for me. He was still stronger than me, because–Quiz stopped me. Tommy, though, didn’t have anyone there, didn’t even believe his own brother wouldn’t throw him back out at best. He still decided that he would keep going despite believing he had nobody. For all that he’s jealous of me in some ways, I can’t help but admire him a lot. Even if I didn’t like going through most of it, I’m glad my world and everything I went through led to this place existing like it does now. He deserves the family he has now, he deserves his success, and he deserves to be happy.”
His smile is a little wry. “Dad probably rubbed off on all of us a little too much in the self sacrificial idiot department, if you couldn’t tell.”
The last silence is longer than any of the others as he works and tries to sort out his thoughts about Dream. It’s not easy–nothing related to him is.
“...Dream isn’t Darkza. He’s not Dad, either. He’s a milder version of both of them, and it’s still…it still hits me that one of my best friends was at the worst place of his entire life because of Dad. Yeah, he redeemed himself, but it’s…not much easier to really accept. I’ve talked to him–to Dad and Tommy both–about that, and…I don’t want to keep reminding Dad of that. He’s better. That, and Dream is…he’s trying, too. In his own, very stubborn way. That’s another way that I think Tommy is stronger than me; I wouldn’t be able to forgive Darkza. Or, maybe not forgive, but interact with him like Tommy does with Dream. It’s not even that Dream takes it poorly, any of it–though he does mutter about wanting TnT again sometimes–it’s more that…I don’t really know. Nothing related to Dad, Dream, and what they did when they were the same person is easy to think about. It’s all so messy.” He gives a halfhearted smile and gestures absently at the tidy, organized workroom.
“And I dunno if you can tell,” he says, making at least an attempt at humor, “I don’t really like messes.”

Abandoned amusement parks are the best place for young children (Chapter 19)
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:
Eret's been acting...strange Techno senses somethings definitely off
Chapter word count: 1726
AO3
Friendships were a complex thing. Techno had known that as long as he could remember. People come and people go, it was nothing, especially not to him or Wilbur. Inherently, they knew all they had was each other, maybe their other brothers would also always be with them but what they had together was a special bond. Neither Phil nor Tommy would ever be able to understand them the way they understood each other and that was fine, they had lived every day side by side, they shared almost all their core memories and so their rationality was incredibly similar because of it, meaning they could very easily understand each other. 
Never had they asked for a friend that would feel the same way as the friendship they had with each other, and yet they always seemed to be asking for too much. That’s the part that confused Techno. 
Never had they needed to be understood. Never had they needed something complex. All they needed was someone to accept them so why did it feel like everyone always ended up leaving? Were they the problem? It always felt like they were trying so hard so why did it feel like they were pushing people away? 
You see, recently Eret had been acting….off. 
He had been stumbling over words, fidgeting, leaving quickly with the excuse of ‘being late for something’, and taking hours to reply to any kind of message. Each of these things would be fine on their own but with them all together, they felt a little strange. 
It didn’t seem like Wilbur had noticed the recent shift in behaviour yet so Techno didn’t dare bring it up, it wasn’t uncommon that he was overly cautious and he didn’t want to risk upsetting his brother over something that might not even be a big deal, especially when he had just started to get over the incident with the ticket booth. 
“So....He’s been busy a lot lately” Wilbur sighed, draping himself across the couch and clutching his phone in one hand. Niki had insisted they add some stickers onto it since letting them live off a ‘boring flip phone’ (as she had called it) was apparently not okay.
“Do you think he’s okay? Maybe something’s going on at home..”
Oh. Techno was positive everything was okay at home. Of course there was a possibility that he was just being protective of Wilbur because he didn’t want anyone hurting his brother but seriously! In his opinion, if you had enough money to eat fucking burger king as a school lunch you were doing fine financially, and really, that’s all that mattered right? Money had always been the reason why their parents were never around.
It was probably just his jealousy talking but he had always had a bit of an underlying anger for people with a big disposable income, how was it fair that their parents had to work so much at minimum wage jobs that they could hardly see them just to keep them warm and fed and yet other families could have their parents around by the time they were home from school /and/ have extra money for treats.
“Wil, don’t worry about him.” Techno sighed, trying to choose his words carefully. He knew Wilbur was always more sensitive to rejection than him.
“He’s more..social than we are, he probably just has other friends that he doesn’t want to ignore or something”
“Maybe.. I wish he’d tell us though, I don’t like being left on read” 
With a sigh and a gentle prod for him to sit up a bit more, Techno wrapped an arm around Wilbur, feeling how he melted into the contact straight away. Of course it hurt Techno too to be ignored by the one person they thought actually could be a good friend but he needed to put on a brave face for Wilbur. Of course it felt like a stab in the gut to have trusted someone so much to be able to start talking to them and then they just disappear but Wilbur needed him right now, it was obvious to anyone that he was the one with the bigger connection issues. 
“Wil, trusting people is a part of being friends. We can talk to him tomorrow alright? And we can explain that it would make you feel better if he said his plans before disappearing”
-----
It was Tuesday night and other than a few memes she had screenshotted off of instagram and sent them, they hadn’t really heard much at all from Eret. She hadn’t hung around them long enough at school for either of them to really bring it up with her and honestly, Techno was getting incredibly worried about what was going on. He’d never had a real friend like this before, of course Skeppy always made him laugh but he was family so he didn’t count, if he messed up with family he knew as long as they weren’t adults they’d still love him afterwards, friends worked differently though. He had his Hypixel friends too but they didn’t count either since they were online and he could type to them on days when he was struggling more. By now he’d known them so long they were basically family, they’d all taken hours out of their own time to research Techno’s problems to try and be as accommodating as possible- all in all he really couldn't compare them with Eret.
It was tricky and he knew communication was one of the more important parts, which was ironically what he struggled with the most. Maybe on one of his worse-off days, where he normally would have had Wilbur doing most of the talking for him, Eret had assumed he was angry with her or giving her the silent treatment, maybe she had taken offence to the fact that Wilbur and Techno were very obviously closer than she was with each one of them. The thought that somehow they might have made her feel left out made him feel a little sick, had they not explained well enough what had led to this point? Maybe it was selfish for them to relish in the fact that she rarely bugged them for explanations.
All in all, Techno was sure they had done something for the sudden shift in attitude and, not wanting to make Wilbur feel worse than he already did, he wasn’t sure who could help him. 
Maybe he could wait up until his parents got home? People on TV were always getting advice from them but then again.. His family wasn’t really like those on tv, if he was being honest he was half sure he’d be yelled at for being awake before he could have a chance to ask for help. 
He could also ask Phil, but then again Phil was already beyond stressed trying to make sure they were all okay, he really didn’t want to bother him. Niki was closer to Wilbur than she was with him and he was sure his hypixel friends were all still at school because of the time zone difference. 
The only other person he could really think of talking to about this was Skeppy, and so, hopping out of bed, trying his hardest not to make too much noise and wake up Wilbur, he made his way to the PC. 
11:36PM 
From what he knew, Skeppy usually stayed up late and slept so late he often missed his bus anyway so he probably was still up.
Clicking onto discord, he breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the green dot next to his cousin's icon, immediately messaging him. 
11:36 OrphanDestroyer: Hey nerd
11:36 OrphanDestroyer: U awake?
It took a few minutes for him to answer, Techno was just about ready to give up and accept he had just chosen the one night he may have gone to bed on time to try and message him.
11:42 japanesesymbolforbeginner: 1 sec ina call wiv bbh 
Writing ‘bbh’ off as one of Skeppy’s friends he had forgotten to tell them about, Techno waited patiently for Skeppy to say he was free. 
11:46 japanesesymbolforbeginner: ok im done, what you need
11:46 OrphanDestroyer: SO
11:46 OrphanDestroyer: Do you remember Eret?
11:48 OrphanDestroyer: Okay well basically for like the past few days he’s been ignoring me and Wilbs and I’m really really worried we offended him or something like maybe we hurt him or he’s mad or maybe he decided he's too good to be friends with us which tbh I don't blame him for because we kinda are losers and maybe people won't be friends with him because he's friends with us or something? Idk idk I just really wish he’d tell us something because like Wil is freaking out and idk what to tell him, he really struggles with this kinda stuff and I wanna help but idk how. 
11:48 japanesesymbolforbeginner: Ok...fuck
11:48 japanesesymbolforbeginner: Has he replied to any messages or anything? Maybe he’s busy?
11:48 OrphanDestroyer: Not really 
11:49 japanesesymbolforbeginner: Okay okay so here’s what I think you should do
11:49 japanesesymbolforbeginner: If he’s ignoring you you're gonna need to confront him next time you see him and don’t just agree when he makes an excuse to leave, like say you NEED to talk
11:50 japanesesymbolforbeginner: If u think he’s offended bc sometimes you don't speak a lot maybe just message him some resources or whatever on the type of mutism you deal with, even if he doesn’t reply he’ll probably still open it.
11:50 japanesesymbolforbeginner: like he might just be in the position where he’s nervous he’ll offend you if he asks something about it? Like maybe he doesn't understand fully and he just needs one of you to open the discussion 
11:50 OrphanDestroyer: okay you're probably right
11:50 OrphanDestroyer: There’s a link I have to one I normally email teachers whenever we have a new one so i'll probably send him that
11:50 OrphanDestroyer: Tomorrow though, my dads gonna be home soon and he’ll kill me if im still awake 
11:51 japanesesymbolforbeginner: aight, night Techno, good luck and btw you're all always welcome to come over if things get tense over there with ur parents

MC Manhunt Crew Ver - Just Add Water AU
This is basically Dream SMP characters in the setting of H20 Just Add Water, based on what I can remember of H20 & decide to pick up from the H20 wiki.
The focus is on the Manhunt crew & Skeppy & Bad are around the same age as the rest of the Dream Team, so Bad isn't Sapnap's father.
Sans the stuff from H20 we have no powers, no hybrids, just boring humans.
If you want to make any content inspired by/based on anything I make, go ahead & pls tag/link me! I'd love to see what you make!
Whole AU & links to more h20 jaw AUs under the cut
SBI Version of the AU
--------------------
Essempi, a secluded town w/ a small population (around 30 ppl).
Then, a boat trip away, we have Prime Island, I have no clue what it did to get that name, but that's the name of the island where our heroes story begins!
(Okay I was being a bit dramatic there)
The Dream Team have a tradition of playing intense games of tag, which they call 'Manhunt.' Bad often joins in while sometimes they bring in Anfrost &/or Sam to join in.
To spice things up a bit, the Dream Team play their next Manhunt at Prime Island during night, & predictably, as they play, someone falls into a very slippery slide-like tunnel. Somebody quickly slides in after them out of concern & so does somebody else. Only 1 person stays on the surface.
This person is either Dream or Bad, & here we have 2 variations of this edition of the AU.
Index
     [ 🟢 Dream Stay Variation ]
     { 🔴 Bad Stays Variation }
--------------------
     [ 🟢 Dream Stays On The Surface 🟢 ]
After some talking the 4 agree that Dream will try & look for some rope to help the others climb out since they don't have any, meanwhile the other 3 will search for another way out (with caution of course).
The Hunters search the cave & very quickly find a strange pool that could mean out, 1 of them tests this possibility & confirms it. The rest get in only for the pool to do it's full moon magic & freak them out. Whether Dream finds a rope/something that works like 1 & gets the Hunters out through the tunnel or the Hunters swim out & reunite w/ Dream that way is up to you. The 3 brush aside what happened but let Dream in the know about what happened in the pool.
As the Hunters discovers in the morning, they now turn into mermen after touching water, they're quick to show Dream that the freaky pond did do something.
They conclude the full moon & pool had something to do w/ this so Dream decides to wait till the next full moon to become a merman himself. Dream's also excited to get powers when he discovers the others got those.
The Hunters noticably avoid water, & they cover themselves more to not touch it. Sam & Antfrost notice the Manhunts are now away from water. People point this all out. When Dream too begins doing the same a month later, this is brought to light even more & Puffy & Foolish worry, while Drista, Tommy, Tubbo, & Ranboo try to figure out what's going on.
Torn between the some/all of Manhunt the manhunt crew hiding their secret or not, if we go the route of the crew hiding it from everyone else:
Perhaps Sapnap's exposed 1st before Dream becomes a Mer very quickly. Like maybe he, Karl & Quackity are walking while almost noone is around but suddenly I guess sprinklers activate & Sapnap instinively uses his powers for the 1st time turning the water into steam (because Sapnap would have the water-heat-up power) & his boyfriends ask when he had powers & how & Sapnap not knowing what to do stops using his powers, gets water on him, & goes merman. The Manhunt group realizes from this they should study the neighborhood's sprinklers & the mermen have powers to add onto their species change.
So Quackity & Karl are in on the secret very early regardless of the route Sapnap chooses, & no longer wonder what's up w/ the Manhunt crew, ppl bring this up & notice how the 2's interactions don't change w/ Dream after the next full moon (not that they know the full moon has something to do w/ it). Something's up.
When the next full moon comes, Dream is estatic to not only be a merman, but he also has all the Hunter's powers combined. Once he gets the hang of being a mer, he's excited to start doing Manhunts in water. They all play on the condition that nobody uses their powers during a game.
Then Drista & her gang manage to get water on him & manage to stay on his tail leading to them discovering that he & the hunters are mermen, since if this is the case for him, it must be the case for the rest. Maybe this happens like near the front door & Foolish & Puffy are returning home so the 1st thing they see returning home is Dream as a merman. They don't get away w/ saying the tail is fake because Foolish knows a thing or two about fish that throws every lie out the window.
(Can the Bench Trio keep a secret though? Probably not.)
Bad is later revealed maybe while hanging out w/ Skeppy & Ant because 1 of the 2 spill water on him due to tripping/slipping & although he tries to run far all he can do is get behind something before turning. Skeppy & Ant run after Bad & thus are introduced to his & the Dream Team's secret.
At this point George somehow has hid his mer status, & they agree to just let Sam in on their mermen statuses since there's little point in hiding it from him as Ant knows now.
     { 🔴 Bad Stays On The Surface 🔴 }
After some talking the 4 agree that Bad will try & look for some rope to help the others climb out since they don't have any, meanwhile the other 3 will search for another way out (with caution of course).
The Dream Team search the cave & quickly find a strange pool that could mean out, 1 of them tests this possibility & confirms it. The rest get in only for the pool to do it's full moon magic & freak them out. Whether Bad finds a rope & gets the 3 out or the trio swim out & reunite w/ Bad that way is up to you. They mention what happened in the pool to Bad but ultimately brush it aside.
The Dream Team finds in the morning that contact w/ water turns them into mermen & quickly let Bad know since they can't suddenly stop playing Manhunt.
The group concludes that the pool & full moon is behind their situation. Bad decides to avoid the pool since he doesn't want to live his whole live avoding water.
The Dream Team begin doing many manhunts in the water now, Bad doesn't participate as much but he's okay w/ it.
Everyone is sus of the Manhunt Crew minus Bad's sudden avoidance of water, Ant & Sam note that all manhunts now avoid water, & Drista & friends form to figure out what's up.
While Sapnap's & Dream's reveal maybe stay the same, maybe George during a Manhunt gets water on him thanks to Dream out of habit forgetting about this manhunt including Sam & Ant.
Sam & Ant are shook, & the rest of the crew has to come clean. Velvet & Skeppy are also let in on the secret.
Maybe after some convincing on the Dream Team's side, Ant, Sam & Bad go in the Moon Pool on a full moon so that all 6 can do a manhunt in the water.

- He slips up and says he thinks the Egg is fine before immediately assuring himself that the Egg is not fine. 
- The Egg is a problem, but what are they going to do about it? Everyone the Egg has infected is too deeply connected to it.
- Tommy comes on to see the finished hotel!

- Jack confirms after a dono asks that his death to Tommy was canon in addition to him losing his things.
- Jack asks Tommy about all the diamond blocks that Tommy has, and why he’s mining diamonds right now. Tommy tells him he likes to keep his personal business and his work business separate, and Jack is an unpaid worker, or “S-L-A-V.”
- Ranboo visits the hotel again just as Tommy returns to it and they lock eyes in silence for a few seconds before walking away. Social interaction successfully avoided.
- Tommy stands on the roof and looks over at the prison. He talks about how he’s avoided going to see Dream, perhaps due to the trauma of it. But now everything is fine. The hotel is finished, he’s got an employee...he thinks he needs a bit more closure.

Dream SMP Recap (February 9/2021) - New Lands, Sapnap’s Visit
It wouldn’t be the Dream SMP without emotional whiplash, now would it?
As tensions between Puffy and Ponk have escalated, Karl takes Sapnap and George with him on a journey to a new land to live in, starting a brand new country to house his library. 
What was at first a fun time building the library quickly turned serious, as Sapnap decided that now was the time to pay Dream a visit.

-
--- SAPNAP’S PRISON VISIT --- 
-
- Sapnap tries to get into the prison and asks Awesam to let him visit Dream. 
- Awesam agrees. Sapnap isn’t sure if he was ready, or if this is the optimal time, but he ends up going through.
- Sam asks the questions.
This is Sapnap’s first time visiting.
His residence is in a new place that he and Karl are creating.
He believes Dream is deserving of being locked up. 
Sapnap: “We used to be best friends...”
Sam: “’Used to be?’”
Sapnap: “Yeah, I dunno...where we stand anymore, it’s kinda...yeah.”
Sam: “What does that mean?”
Sapnap: “Well, I dunno...I don’t know if he’s the same anymore. I don’t know if he’s the Dream -- my Dream anymore. My best friend.”
- Sapnap reviews the waivers
- They start making their way through the prison. Sapnap is nervous.
- Sapnap signs the other two waivers.
- They reach the lava wall.
Sam: “Good luck getting him to talk.”
Sapnap: “What do you mean? ...Is he not talkative”
Sam: “Something like that.”
- Dream’s cell walls are spotted in crying obsidian.
Sam: “And Sapnap?”
Sapnap: “Yeah?”
Sam: “I hope that you’re the one.”
- Sapnap enters the cell.
“...Hello? Dream? ....You okay?”
- Dream is silent, holding the clock. He hands Sapnap a book that says: “I am not talking.”
- His clock is now labelled “DO NOT BURN”
Dream: “you took so long.”
Sapnap: “You hurt a lot of people, but...you hurt specifically me...took me a little bit to decide to come and see you...”
Sapnap: “You’re better than this.”
- Dream looks at his clock, turning away from Sapnap.
Sapnap: “Once upon a time, we were best friends. If you’re gonna talk to anyone, you can talk to me.”
- Dream turns back to Sapnap, now holding the clock in his offhand while he writes in the book.
Dream: “im on strike”
- Sapnap asks what for, then if Dream is okay.
- Sapnap asks why the cell looks so run-down, with the crying obsidian dripping everywhere.
“it was a security measure.” [The crying obsidian]
“ill get out one day.”
- Sapnap insists that Dream has to stay locked up. 
Sapnap: “I love you man, but you gotta stay here...this is where you belong for now.”
- Dream hands him the book.
“i spend days i broke the lectern i was making a portal and he did this.”
- Sapnap says that he can’t try and escape. He misses Dream, Sapnap says that they can be friends, that he can come and visit, that George can come and visit, but he has to stay here. 
“Please don’t try and escape.”
- Dream runs over and throws the clock in the lava. Sapnap is worried that he’ll make Awesam mad and make things worse for himself.
“eventually.”
“eventually.”
“eventually.”
“eventually.”
- Sapnap repeatedly tells him no.
Sapnap: “If you try and break out early...you know, you only have one life left, okay? And...I don’t think it’s gonna be Tommy. It’s not gonna be Techno, Dream...If you break out of this prison, it’s gonna be me who takes your final life. And it’s not because I have any resentment towards you or anything --”
Dream moves towards the lava but stops.
“-- But it’s because this is where you need to be, Dream.”
Dream’s head turns towards Sapnap and he takes another step towards the lava.
“You have to stay here, okay? We can still be friends, I can come and visit you, but you need to stay here.”
Dream moves back to the back of the cell.
“can you pass a message”
“he stopped visiting”
- Sapnap asks who
“ranboo”
- Sapnap asks what message
“:)”
- Sapnap says he’ll pass along the message.
“thank you”
- Sapnap asks if, if he passes along the message, Dream will behave. If he’ll stop acting up and throwing his clocks away.
Dream finally speaks, though it’s barely a whisper.
"Yes.”
- Sapnap says he’ll visit Dream more, and asks if he wants George to visit as well. Dream hands him the book again.
“yes and tell the warden i need a new clock”
- Dream signs the book.
“thank you for visiting me” is the final message.
- Sapnap says he’s ready to leave. Sam tells him to stand in the water.
Sapnap and Dream stand in the water together and they die by the potion together.
- Sapnap tells Sam that he spoke, and that he said he’d be better. That he needs a new clock. Sam is exasperated.
- Sapnap asks how long it’s been since he spoke to someone else. Sam says it’s been quite a while.
- When’s the last time he saw someone?
- The last person to visit him was Ranboo.
- Sam asks if he told Sapnap anything else. Sapnap says no.
- Sam kills Sapnap with Warden’s Will, sending him to Spawn.
- Sapnap comes back to the prison. Sam lets him through the portal.
- Sam explains that he just thought it was strange that Dream would talk to Sapnap, and had to “make sure.” Sapnap says it’s fine and leaves the prison with his things.
- Ranboo joined the game.
- Sapnap whispers to Ranboo that he wants to talk. They meet at the Community House.
Sapnap tells him about the prison visit, saying that Dream doesn’t seem the same. He doesn’t even talk now. He tells Ranboo that he was told that Ranboo was the last person to visit. He asks if Ranboo remembers anything about his visit, anything off.
Ranboo, of course, doesn’t remember much.
- Sapnap gives Ranboo the message: 
:)
- Ranboo freezes and goes silent, then runs away into the Nether. Sapnap is confused.
- Just as Sapnap is ending stream, Ranboo sends a message in game chat written in Enderman.
Doomed are those who try to run, for it always catches up eventually :)
---
Upcoming events remain the same.
Bad also mentioned that he has an upcoming lore stream that he’s scheduling, though it involves a particular person whose schedule makes them difficult to get a hold of for it.

Observations and discussion- the 11/29 streams
Part 1 George’s stream| Part 2 Tubbo’s stream ( will be linked when it’s done )
George logs onto the SMP because his chat was freaking out about his home.
Dream tells George to not worry and tells him to not look at his now burnt home.
George already heard that Tommy was the one who torched his house from chat but the first SMP member he actually hears it from is Karl.
I don’t remember if Quackity knew it was Tommy or not but when he follows George to his house Quackity never blames Tommy and tries to convince George that it was BBH and Skeppy because of that one sign Tommy (I think) placed. ( Though I think this is most likely because Quackity likes trolling BBH. )
After Quackity leaves the VC Karl immediately starts complaining about Tommy’s actions to George ( and Ranboo but mostly Tommy. ) 
Karl advices George to not fix his house immediately, and tells him to “harp on it”. ( To me this feels like Karl trying to rile George up and get him even angrier at Tommy. )
Continued under the read more
( Karl is an interesting character in this plot. He tends to be overlooked and he’s very aware of that: it annoys him but he also uses it to his advantage. He is both clever and very blatant with his power hungry tendencies: he doesn’t immediately try to obtain the highest levels of power and instead is trying to climb the political latter one step at a time. He’s not at all subtle about it but because he’s Karl and people underestimate him he can get away with it. )
( We we’re all out here going: Fundy betrayal arc, Quackity corruption arc, Tommy villian arc and ended up forgetting about a possible Karl arc lol )
Karl is the one who suggests George talks to Tubbo about Tommy’s behavior and flat out says “Tommy is the vice president I think we need to overthrow him and... I don’t know who the Vice Vice President is but whoever is just needs to step up and become the Vice President... That’s just my opinion though.”
( FYI: Karl pressured Tubbo into naming him vice vice president. )
Karl keeps on attempting to make the V.V.P look better to George who is focusing on rebuilding and doesn’t seem to care about what Karl is saying. Karl also wants George to leave the mess as is to provide proof for Tubbo but George once again ignores him.
They join VC5 but Tubbo gets overwhelmed by all the talking and moves into VC6 with Quackity.
Karl informs George about Dream’s wall and speculates that Dream did it for George.
The King flat out admits that he doesn’t understand politics ( lol )
George initially agrees with the wall but Karl keeps on pushing for a change in power instead.
Tommy joins and George accuses him, Tommy denies the claim but Karl doesn’t believe him. When George considers that Tommy might be telling the truth Karl says that Tommy is lying.
“What do I get out of lying to you George?” ( Now Karl isn’t lying to George but I find this line interesting because it’s VERY clear what Karl could get and has been pushing for this whole conversation. )
Karl hits the nail half on the head. “Listen, here’s what it is. It’s two people that are just obsessed with power: Tommy and Dream... They are using the ashes of your house as a political statement.”
( Now I say half because Tommy isn’t interested in political gain or political control, he just wants his discs back... now Dream. I was actually writing a draft about this but never finished so I’m just gonna say my own thoughts here: Dream has been looking for an opportunity to make his move and Tommy attacking George, the king of the SMP, was exactly what he needed. He could’ve just punished Tommy but instead he targeted all of L’manberg because he knew that 1.) they are in not in ANY position to fight back against him right now and 2.) Tommy would face major consequence for what was essentially a small prank that was fixed in like less then 10 minutes. To quote Tommy “It was the perfect crime.” )
( Also no one confronted Dream about him burning Manifold Land and that upsets me! >:( Jack Manifold deserves better!!! )
George travels to L’Manburg and finds Dream. Dream informs George that it was Tommy who burned George’s home and since George is the King it would be considered a very big offense. So Dream decided to make his move and boarded up L’manburg to pressure Tubbo and the rest of the cabinet into punishing Tommy. Karl agrees with the idea of punishing Tommy.
Dream tells George not to worry about it again, George asks Dream where he got all the obsidian from and Dream refuses to give a straight answer aside from “Not from creative mode.” ( I’m pretty sure Dream took it from Fundy... interesting that he doesn’t want George to know about that. Does George even know that Fundy is engaged with Dream? )
Dream continues to try and keep George out of the situation meanwhile Karl switches his target over to Dream asking if Tommy should step down as VP to which Dream agrees but also adds that it isn’t enough. Karl also asks if the V.V.P should step up and become VP to which Dream shrugs “ I guess...”, Karl latches onto this as his official endorsement and runs off.
( I’ll talk more about this later but I when I watching Tubbo’s stream I got this overwhelming feeling that Dream is trying to separate Tommy and Tubbo or at least drive a wedge in their bond. )
George expresses concern that the wall wont be enough, Dream once again stresses that he is handling the situation. Dream says “Do you see how much I’ve already done for you... trust me.” and leaves shortly after it. ( It almost feels like a parent talking to a child; a bit of a patronizing energy from Dream to George. Dream wants George to stay neutral and stay out of conflict but recently it seems like George has been wanting to get more involved- just a tiny bit. )
George however stills feels uncertain about the wall, Karl argues that it’s a step in the right direction “it sets up a precedent.” and while George agrees he still doesn’t see how it’ll help in the long run while Karl continues to drag Tommy.
George and Karl join the L’manbergian VC and they argue for a bit before the cabinet move to a new VC without George... and Karl which infuriates him.
Karl vents his frustrations to George about being treated like a second class citizen despite his status as a member of the government.
Karl sulks and George legitimately feels bad for him.
Dream whispers to George to get out of the borders, George asks if Karl should come with them and if he’s gonna hurt the L’manburgians. Dream just says for George to stay away from the conflict and remain neutral
( I saw someone else bring this up before but Dream seems to stick around ‘neutral’ people: George being the obvious one, Callahan being appointed the royal squire, that one time he told Purpled of all people to stay away from Manberg before the war, and last night when Dream was trailing after Puffy who has recently been feeling conflicted about her place in the SMP. I can’t tell how much of it is Dream genuinely caring and how much of it is just him wanting easy people to control and use. )
Karl talks about going “back to the grind” and George, somewhat cautiously, says that Karl should “just get out of here.” ( here being L’manberg )
George gets out of L’manberg but quickly hops back in to watch the discussion between the cabinet members but since he can’t hear anything he leaves- not wanting anything to do with a possible war.
( Which is probably what Dream wants George to do- stay out of it and let Dream handle it. )
Karl continues to vent about not being respected and George sympathetically listens
George stumbles upon the L’mantree, this prompts Karl to say “I’m not telling you to, because I’m the vice vice president and the only reason I’m letting this slip is because they’re being mean to me,... but that tree is very important to them I’m just saying.”
George comments about how interesting it would be if something were to happen to that tree. Karl eggs George on to do something but George gets distracted by Dream.
Karl gives George 24 blocks of obsidian, Karl continues to talk about how disrespectful it was of the others to not include him in the meeting.
Karl joins their call, promising to recount anything to George. George calls Karl his little spy.
( funny little moment: George kidnaps a L’manberg salmon and drops it on Quackity’s head. Your honor they are brothers! )
George joins the VC with the others: they discuss George’s home and if Tommy is guilty.
Dream and Tubbo go to talk in private.
George listens as the other cabinet members beg for Tommy to just tell the truth.
They all start leaving the call until it’s just George and Karl again
Interestingly Karl brings up supporting the idea of Quackity being VP in place of Tommy ( with Karl perhaps aware that because of the lack of respect the others have for him trying to make Quackity the VP instead would be more realistic )
George and Karl continue to bond over disliking Tommy.
Karl joins a VC and George soon follows but they’re immediately told by Tubbo to leave, this just frustrates them even more.
“I’m peeved George.” 
Karl encourages George to read his chat, who are telling George to burn down the tree.
George finds the ingredients to make a flint and steel in a nearby chest ( I don’t know if it was just a coincidence or if Dream or Karl placed those items in there. )
George decides against burning the tree and instead takes some of it hostage.
George and Karl are asked to join the VC and they all travel to the courthouse
I’ll cover the court stuff in more detail when I watch Tubbo and Tommy’s streams because it concerns them more and I don’t want to make this TOO long.
George listens as the cabinet continues to argue along the way, Niki and Ranboo join.
Pretty much everyone is vocally against Tommy, except for Ranboo who is mostly keeping to himself
George blocks tommy off with his obsidian. Karl and George play dumb about where the obsidian came from ( Though Karl might not have realized it was George who placed it or forgot that he gave him those blocks )
George jokes about Tommy already being done for with Quackity as his lawyer ( Your honor!! They are brothers!!)
Niki immediately tries to defend Ranboo when George brings up Chats claim of Ranboo being involved with the house burning. ( Sibling moment Pog <3 )
Tommy also defends Ranboo, and Tommy keeps defending him even after admitting to the crime.
( I’ll talk more about interesting Tommy stuff I noticed when I watch his stream )
Niki and Tommy vouch for Ranboo’s innocence and since Ranboo’s memory is apparently very spotty they all decide to let him go, except for George who wants them to review the footage ( Tommy’s vod I presume ) to see if Ran is truly innocent but George is ignored.
George tags along after the trial while the L’manberg cabinet continues their discussion.
George listens as Tommy talks about his goals to piss off Dream until he gets his discs back, the rest of the cabinet argue that his actions are irresponsible since as a member of the Government he represents all of L’manberg ( Though something tells me that even if Tommy wasn’t VP Dream, opportunist and conniver he is, still would’ve tried to make Tommy burning George’s house into a big deal since Tommy is still a L’manberg citizen. )
Dream shows up and Tommy chases after him, everyone follows in a panic.
Karl confronts Ranboo about him helping Tommy burn George’s cottage but let’s him off easy and tells Ran to apologize to George.
Ranboo apologizes even though he can’t remember doing it ( allegedly )
Niki is on Ranboo’s defense, she blames Tommy for being a bad influence on Ran.
Ranboo says “I never said that I couldn’t remember any of it- I just said that I have bad short term memory... “ he also tells George that the fire was an accident and that neither him or Tommy meant for it to spread.
Ranboo does also confirm that Tommy stole stuff and Ranboo did too but Ran put the stuff he stole back because he felt bad.
Ran says that he’s not good at standing up to people and George forgives him but George still wants his stuff back- Ranboo promises to try and help.
Ranboo questions the construction of the walls just because George’s house was burned.
George decides to interrogate Tommy and joins their call, he hears the cabinet argue about the discs ( I’ll cover this more in another post )
( This is when Tommy’s mom tells him about the dishes LOL )
Sapnap joins in confused and George tells him what happened alongside Karl.
Sapnap officially declares himself one of Gogy’s knights. For now George asks Sapnap to keep an eye on Tommy.
Sapnap gets anxious when Tommy and the rest start punching each other ( in reality they’re doing a handshake ) and protectively gets in front of Karl and George
“Dream’s not here, so I gotta protect you guys!” ( Just a nice little moment)
The cabinet go back into the Camarvan, the others watch from the top of the van. Ranboo and Niki decide to respect their privacy.
Sapnap is vocally on George’s side and against L’manberg
“These L’manbergians George, they should’ve learner their lesson the first time when we dealt with them.”
Niki takes offense to this
Karl reveals why he was on Schlatt’s side during the war “ I didn’t feel welcomed...” ( Interesting!! Not feeling welcomed was what caused Quackity to create Swag2020 and later join Schlatt!!!!!!)
Sapnap agrees that the L’manbergians don’t make people feel welcomed. Karl adds that even as vice vice president he still doesn’t feel welcomed since he’s not included in the meetings, Niki agrees that it’s pretty rude of them to do that to Karl.
( This might be important later on: Last night Puffy considered joining Dream but she doesn’t want to turn against Niki but Puffy might try to convince her to join Dream’s side- but I don’t think Niki would go without Ranboo and he needs to be a citizen to run in the next election.)
George and Sapnap agree that it’s wrong of them to not include Karl
Sapnap criticizes Tubbo for not keeping his people in check
Niki doesn’t defend Tubbo, instead she brings up how Ranboo is running for the next election ( interesting!!!!)
Sapnap calls Karl their “ambassador”
George wants to help Karl break down some of the walls around party island but decides to not get involved- Sapnap agrees once again brining up how the king mustn’t get involved and neither can Sapnap as a royal knight.
“I’m the kings right hand man- one of his right hand men. One of the knights, I represent the king.”
George warns Karl about Dream having the walls be in specific places for a reason and gets him to stop, the two are about to listen to some music before Dream whispers for George to come over to him.
Dream gives George the fish Quackity took for his pond in exchange for the parts of the L’mantree he took. At first George questions giving back the leaves but does so.
( In Tubbo’s stream I saw him give the pieces back to the L’manbergians as a show of good faith, but too me this rings more of Dream trying to make himself seem like a good guy to the other L’manbergians while he tries to make Tommy look worse. )
George goes back home to return his fish
Tommy gets blamed for damage done to Karl’s walkway ( I don’t know if he did that )
( George hears a Minecraft cat meow and meows back at it????? )
Tommy asks George for some leather and to two have a little spat, Tommy also remarks about how he hoped that him and Sapnap would be on better terms after Mars but it seems that ship has sailed- Sapnap is loyal to George first and foremost.
Karl’s loyalty to L’manberg has been deeply shaken, Sapnap apologizes to him.
George see’s the rebuilt L’mantree.
George and Sapnap try to cheer up Karl, encouraging his growing negative feelings towards L’manburg.
Quackity is concerned and joins the call after Karl drowns himself three times.
George and Sapnap take Karl back to his house and try to cheer him up with help from Quackity but Karl tries to drown himself again until George orders him as king to stop, threatening to never “pop-off” with him again if he keeps drowning himself
The group decide to have a serious conversation at party island
They all climb into the tree house to support Karl
Quackity promises to talk to Tubbo about Karl getting ignored.
Quackity mistakenly thinks that Karl kissed George (unless he’s talking about a different situation idk ). Quackity then hits George and the two start fighting before George orders Sapnap to get Quackity out of there.
Sapnap draws his bow ordering Quackity to leave while Karl begs them to stop fighting. Things get tense between the trio and Quackity asks if Sapnap still loves him. Sapnap says he does and that this is just a formality before George shoves him out of the tree accidentally killing Quackity.
Quackity says “he understands” to Karl and leaves.
( Damn, Gogy out here destroying relationships left and right! /lh )
Quackity comes back for his things and is asked to rejoin VC
More relationship drama ensues: Quackity is upset at Karl for not standing up for him when their other fiancé, Sapnap, pulled a bow on Quackity. Karl claims that he didn’t just stand there but Quackity moves on to Sapnap, asking for them to just leave Karl. George is confused.
Quackity asks for his “yeezys” back from Karl but George takes them, promising to give them back so long as Karl stops drowning himself
Karl says that’s he’s gonna be fine since Quackity promised to talk to Tubbo, the trio decide to make up to “ not make their wedding awkward”
Hbomb joins and George gives the boots back
(Sapnap clearly cares about both Karl and Quackity but in the end of the day his duties as a royal knight come first- things might get messy if another war starts up. )
( Edit: Addition to the above point, Quackity and Sapnap actually bring this up during Sapnaps 11/30 stream and my point is kind of reaffirmed but not quite in the way I expected. Sapnap listened to George because George is the king and he’s already seen what happens when you disobey the king; it’s certainly fear over respect in this case. He quickly shifts the topic to Karl after this- revealing that, while he still loves Karl, Sapnap views Karl as the “3rd wheel” of their relationship. Quackity basically agrees with this. Ouch. )
Alright back to serious stuff: George, Sapnap, and Karl speculate about what’s going to happen next. George still hasn’t gotten the stuff Tommy took from him back.
Hbomb suggests that George looks through Tommy’s stuff and see if any of his stolen goods are there, George agrees and goes but Sapnap has to leave, he tells George to be safe.
since George doesn’t remember what exactly Tommy took from him he decides to just take what he wants ( Hbomb noting about how that’s just the way this server works lol )
George takes useful stuff from Tommy, chat freaks out about how this could break George’s neutrality and Karl later asks if George was committing war crimes via stealing: George denies this.
Later George joins the VC with Tubbo and they start talking about making a chess tournament.
Some more little humorous moments happen- nothing really plot related I think. George plays chess with Fundy, Karl tries to make a rollercoaster in Philza’s house since he got rid of the school, a global warming arc is jokingly discussed, George tries to enforce some rules as king ( things like flight licenses, and shop permits. Nothing serious), I think George and Karl kiss in the kissing booth ( hard to tell with Minecraft; but George- I know it’s hard but please stop being such a darn homewrecker!! /Joking )
Also Jack briefly logs on but I don’t think he noticed the destruction to Manifold land yet ( He most definitely noticed during  Fundy’s stream today and is pissed )
Karl attacks Maid!Hbomb in church prime
George asks Hbomb to keep an eye Tommy, Hbomb continues to do cat maid things~ to George’s dismay
( George has never watched ATLA wtf )
Punz joins and George tells him about what happened. 
Later Punz confirms that he is one of George’s knights.
George considering granting Punz a flight license so long as he serves under him.
Punz comments on L’manburg’s loss in territory, George says it’s justified.
George, Punz, and Hbomb notice an odd cobblestone bridge structure in that starts around Hutt’s pizza and ends over L’manburg. Punz investigates it with the others. It ends right above the little town square area, with the Technoblade wanted posters.
Punz and George speculate the importance of the bridge and find out it’s a good ledge for jumping into a pool of water in the nation.
After a few awkward moments with Maid!Hbomb George and him considering making a deal: George would get one of Hbomb’s Pigstep discs in turn for renting a room out to Hbomb in George’s cottage. Nothing is set in stone yet and George decides to end his stream.
And that's about it! Thanks for reading!! I’ll try to cover the other streams ASAP.
