oooookay, I'm not super versed in dsmp lore and I don't even really know the whole events in chronological order. but!!!! I love your monarchy restoration au. your art is so gorgeous. and the emotions there ... man

can you please give me some guideline of what should I know from the og lore to understand your au? or maybe some summary of your au?

just talk about it I really want to interact!!! :D

hi, editing Li here, the summary ended up being over 2k words. then I realised you asked for a summary to the AU, which is part of the masterpost. I went over the lore in brief, I promise it's just brief despite the length and doesn't tackle All there is to the SMP

okay, lemme try and speedrun the lore of the dream smp - given that the story of monarchy restoration centers around the Dream Team, or at least the parts that I shared, I'll be focusing on them. this will get long and I'm really sorry jghdfjd

the core ideas you should know is that: Dream, George and Sapnap were close friends, but they drifted apart as time went on due to conflicts on the server. Dream crowned George as King, but then due to George doing badly as a king and this position putting him in danger made him dethrone George, which made the rift between them grow. they were once inseparable, and now George and Sapnap thought of Dream as obsessed maniac who no longer cared for them as people. after Dream got put in prison and tortured, he broke out, and this is where the lore of Monarchy Restoration diverges from the original story of the SMP and becomes an AU, as instead of reuniting with Punz as intended, Dream is too weak and injured to do much and runs into George, who takes him in.

now for the Actual Lore Recap:

at the very beginning of it all, there were two friends - Dream and George. they found a little piece of the world for themselves, and everything was fine. then a third came, Sapnap, and then more people joined, and they lived in the same house in the middle of the lake and things were okay.

months passed, and fights turned into splits in the community and a community turned to factions, and the conflicts of factions were intertwined with interpersonal fights. (the interpersonal conflicts? the disc saga, aptly named over 2 music discs that were used as a bartering chip and have a pretty good significance in the overall story. put a pin into that.)

the two factions at play were the (retroactively named) Greater SMP and L'Manburg which declared independence from the Greater SMP on basis of xenophobia. they lost the war against the Greater SMP, the final fight being a duel between Dream and the original owner of the discs (Tommy). a deal was struck after, where Tommy offered his discs in exchange for independence (or independance, if you want to stick to the original text)

an important aspect of this war is to note that Dream offered one of the people on L'Manburg's side a deal - they betray the faction and get to become the King of the Greater SMP. this establishes monarchy in the story. they accepted, betrayed their allies, got the role of a King with the promise of 'staying neutral and uninvolved in further conflicts'.

I'll breeze through the Manberg era for the most part (despite being the most interesting one, imo). L'Manburg ran a presidental election, the original leader (who wanted to take power by scamming the whole thing) lost, and the new leader of L'Manburg (renamed to Manberg, because they're not taking any L's anymore) exiled the OG president and his right hand man Tommy, things went bad. the two exiled men started a new faction (Pogtopia) that they hoped to use to take back their "rightful place" and were given support from Dream because the new Manberg was a little too expansive. (he ended up siding with Manberg last minute for Yet Unknown Reasons, we will get to them, again, put a pin in it)

the King of the SMP very vocally sided wih Pogtopia, which was a betrayal to the core principles of their position as King. the King was dethroned, and Dream put his best friend George on the throne, with him and Sapnap serving as his knights.

upon the defeat of Manberg by Pogtopia (since Manberg's authoritarian regime ended up driving people out and most joined Pogtopia, Dream and his people fought for Manberg only as mercenaries), one of the core allies of Pogtopia - an anarchist, the blood god himself, Technoblade - turned on his former allies because they told him it was about defeating a tyrant, but all they wanted was to kill one tyrant and put their own people in his place. Techno then fled into exile.

next chapter begins after the rebuild of L'Manberg, yet the L' is back, under a new rule given that the OG president uhhh Blew Up The Country with several megatons of TNT and then persuaded his father into killing him.

King George is vibing. he is unaware of all faction wars, builds himself a holiday house far away from everything, enjoys time with new friends, all while Dream grows more and more distant due to trying to keep what is left of his old life together.

the reason the home is important to mention is that, once peace has settled over the world, Tommy decided that the discs that he traded for independence are His, in fact, and he needs to steal them - or barter for them in any shitty way possible. he still had tons of grudges against Dream, and in one of these half-grudge fueled fuckeries, he and one other character set fire to George's holiday home.

Dream found it in ruin and still burning when he came see his friend with a bouquet of flowers. there are several interpretations to this, and since Dream himself never really specified, there's a speculation that he thought that this event maybe killed his best friend, and given that George is the King of the Greater SMP, an attack by the right hand man of the current L'Manberg president on the physical property of the King of a rival faction is de-facto a war declaration.

so we are presented with an ultimatum, where Tommy is either exiled or a war starts. (exile won. it was voted on by the fans we wanted that bitch Out. this is not quite as important but the dynamics shaping up between Tommy and Dream had a massive impact on the plot.)

while Tommy is in exile, George becomes rather friendly with a new budding faction on the server. his involvement with them means that his neutrality vow was broken, and given how frequently he got harassed by L'Manberg, Dream decided to dethrone George, and put the previous King back in power. this dethronement caused a huge rift to form between George and Dream (and Sapnap, who sided with George) and the three of them fell apart with the parting words from George to Dream being "Just say you hate me."

I'm sure this won't have any lasting effects on the man who was tearing himself apart to make the world the same as it was when it was just the two of them

now in brief: the L'Manberg cabinet decided to take revenge on Techno after he turned on them after they tricked him into helping them against Manberg. the punishment? execution. how did they achieve that? they hunted him down, threatened to kill his animals, told him he will get a court process but just set him up in a guillotine. Dream intervened and saved him, thus earning a favour from Techno because both of them are traumatized warriors with trust issues that rather treat kindness as currency. Tommy runs away from the place he was restricted to in his exile, moves in with the anarchist-in-retirement-gone-pacifist Techno, the two of them end up teaming up for the time being as Techno protects him from Dream. L'Manberg in the meantime decides to host a festival to show that they are peaceful now, and nothing bad will happen again :) it takes place a week after they unlawfully tried to execute Techno, and the festival is meant to serve as public execution of Dream. However, the festival is cut short when Dream storms in because the original house where he and his friends lived - known as the Community House - got blown up. he blames L'Manberg and Tommy, and after a short conflict that happens then he declares that L'Manberg has a day to evacuate and him and Techno agree to blow up the country. a second time. and completely now.

so L'Manberg is gone now and the members of the faction scatter. within days, Tommy receives an invitation from Dream to come get his discs (I didn't know how to include it, but after the whole 'setting George's house on fire' Tommy tried to barter for the discs and for Dream to ignore him setting the house on fire, all while trying to leverage things that Dream held dear. attachment to objects and people is a running theme in here. Dream then proceeded to give his "I don't give a fuck about Spirit, I don't give a fuck about anything actually" speech, basically telling everyone they have nothing to leverage against him and he will destroy them if he needs to and them holding something hostage won't bother him.) This sets the stage for the Disc Finale. Tommy and his best friend Tubbo make their way to a specific location, far away, all alone, where they are to fight against Dream to win the discs back. they lose spectacularly and Dream reveals his "grand plan" where he has a vault to gather "all the precious items people own to control them" (and I wrote "grand plan" because it was a farce. it was a show, it was staged, all just to get Tommy to leave him the fuck alone and stop meddling with his greater plan. what is the greater plan? fuck if I knew.)

the whole thing is then intercepted when a large group of people, one of which is Dream's right-hand-man Punz who was running errands for him before, and more importantly, Sapnap. he's beaten and just as he is about to be killed, he reveals his secret: the reason he sided with manberg, all those months ago, is because in exchange for his services he got a book of necromancy. he can now bring people back to life. because of this, he is locked up in an inescapable prison in case anyone needs to use the book.

Sapnap and George are very much under the impression that Dream doesn't care for them. Sapnap comes visit Dream once, promises to return, never does. George doesn't even bother coming in, instead sleeping his days away and it catches the eye of a deity who wears the same face as his beloved Dream, and he loses himself to the illusion of being reunited with his best friend in a world where everything is perfect.

another important thing to note is that Sapnap stumbles upon a Book Of Death (yes, its death note, sapnap is a weeb, it even functions the exact same.) the thing about the book of death and the book of necromancy is that they are both books that were placed into the world by the deity wearing Dream's face (known as DreamXD, or XD for short, yes it's a little silly) and XD reveals to another character (a somewhat-deity, Foolish) that the books and their owners are intertwined in a way, and if one were to die the other dies with him.

so we have three friends, one locked up in prison and seen as nothing more but an object to use (Dream), the other a man who watched his friends, his parents and his lovers fall apart (Sapnap) and a man who cannot face the world falling apart and the loss of his friends so he gives into an illusion created by god in his dreams. and all of them have a strange tie to a stranger god.

this very fractured relationship the three have, along with their ties to the god, were the main driving force behind making this AU.

the last thing you should probably know is that Dream was locked in prison for 10 months, starved, tortured, with little to no social contact until Techno was locked in with him, but with the use of some fun magic Techno managed to escape and then "return the favour" from when Dream saved him from execution, and broke him out of prison.

there's a lot of little nuanced things I probably forgot about but this is the core of it all I hope it helps

#asks #dsmp #monarchy restoration au #i feel a little insane looking at this #not to mention the little things I didnt get to talk about #like the intro comic referencing the one stream where george dreamed about meeting dream #the whole 'are you with me or against me' thing #or the scissors #or the whole nuance of red and green festivals i skipped those for the most part #doomsday? never heard of her sorry #the staged finale got a brief mention even tho it was just... so much #never mentioned the Experiments or why the prison exists to begin with #oh pandora how ive wronged you #torture also just got like. brushed over #ranboo gets no mentions L #or the whole no armor policies aaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!#tubbo vs dream during the l'manberg/exile debacle was so good too #like the manipulation on both sides the way they handled things #and i barely spoke of el rapids #this post is blasphemy #i should edit more of this but my tumblr is lagging at this point so. take it or leave it and Im sorry

You flirted with him and Michael, they flirted back. You made a deal with them that you'd get them out and they would behave and not fight.

Micheal tried to say that they literally had to do this and that, and bs but you said "the fuck you do, either you listen and you don't pull shit or yall rot hear for eternity with eachothers bs" and thar scared them so they listened

They thought you where hot af, so they wanted to date you.

So they thought I'd they'd agree they would be able to date you

Of course they'd want to date you but not together they didn't talk about how much they liked you

You got them out they followed the deal and didn't use any loopholes

Inorder to respect you and to win you over,

Adam/micheal loved you, trying to win you over.

They flirted alot

Listened to you

Loged everything you said and did, and every movement.

They wanted you badly and were going to get you

Mans the size of sam so he loves picking you up and just holding you or fucking you

He moves twords you in his sleep and holds you close

He kisses you in his sleep, like you're shoulder or you're cheek

He loves going infront of you like a guard dog

Or if you're talking to someone he will just walk up behind you and put his arms around you're waist and nuzzle his head to you're neck kissing you

He will hold your hand even when you're hand gets sweaty he won't let go until he has to

Like cooking with you and kissing you whilst you cook

If you get tired or lazy he will either A. Cuddle you all day or B. Do everything you were planning on and them arrange flowers for you and cook you some pasta then will watch disney movies with you.

Omg, how would Nate react to Mikey trying to save Leatherhead from dimension X on his own? I think he would be devastated at how long Mikey had actually been there having to rapidly adapt and later on that Leatherhead had been experimented on for that whole time by the kranng. (with how much time passed in the seconds it took Mikey's brothers to come after him, Leatherhead definitely would have been there for over a year at least)

Leatherhead was there for decades probably. He was an old man by the time they broke him out!

Nate is going to be in a state of "AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" That's the best way to describe it. fhgdkfhg He's terrified. He's devastated that Mikey spent hours in there alone but also highkey impressed with him for adapting so well so quickly.

He's much more upset about Leatherhead's state. He spent most of his life being experimented on and tortured. He had a short break when he finally broke away from the Krang. Then he just got captured again, and he's old now. Literally lived his whole life being tortured. Fucked up.

So, I listened to all of Hadestown songs in order (and then read the story after to confirm things) and well, it has completely fucked up my head

I just about cried at the end and almost did it again when I went to read the story

And I just wanna say

WHY?!!!!

MY HEAD’S SCREAMIN MAN IT HURTS

My heartstrings were played like a freakin LYRA

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH

I didn’t watch the thing just listened to the music, but still I could sense the emotions from the characters and I could get their personality’s from just how they sound alone and it just got me invested in the story and it got me attached to the characters

Wonderful music, really grabs ahold of the emotions

I recommend it, good stuff

Here’s a link to an album if anyone’s interested

(and also if you feel like possibly crying)

#hadestown #music #not lying did in fact cry #and am still emotional about it #I know it’s not art #but I really REALLY wanted to talk about it

Fantine is sometimes compared to marble Greek statues when she was alive as she grew

I think, through Cosette's real name Euphrasie being of Greek origin, that Fantine's birth mother might be a Greek immigrant herself

That may explain why Cosette loves reading about Greco Roman myths as she grew up

And why Cosette has impressive fluency in Greek

Okay, I have a new HC, that, in truth, Fantine is actually Greek - French ( with my HC of her real name Philomene being name inspired by St. Philomena, a Greek Christian Saint )

Making Cosette also of Greek - French descent

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH

#cosette #les mis #les miserables hcs #FANTINE BEING GREEK FRENCH IS A NEW HC OF MINE #COSETTE BEING GRECIAN FRENCH DESCENT #IMAGINE THAT #she would make marius SWOON with her beautiful greek

Colli has a nightmare and Hunter comforts him and also poor cute baby 😻😻😻😻😻🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Hi, my dear @importantnightwerewolf! 👋😊

Thank you for the request!

Drabble: Little Brother's Bad Dream

It was a quiet night on the Boiling Isles. The most inseparable pair of brothers, a certain young Grimwalker and a certain small starboy with otherworldly fluffy lavender hair and a heart of gold, lie in each others embrace in the large bed in their shared bedroom.

Unfortunately, Colli was plagued by a terrible nightmare. He had a expression of sheer agony on his adorable multi-colored face as his nightmare was tormenting him. He dreamt that he was in Belos' clutches again and that he lost his beloved big brother Hunter...

Colli couldn't believe what just happened! Belos returned from the dead and captured him! "I told you that you're rightfully mine, my Little Battery." The Emporer spoke calmly as he strapped him on the Draining Chair again.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" A terrible pain shot through Colli's small body. The same pain the kindhearted eternal little boy had felt for fifty endless years. "LET HIM GO, BELOS!" Hunter arrived, ready to save his beloved little brother.

To Colli's horror, Belos turned into his Palisman Beast form and gruesomly murdered the blonde boy! "HUNTER!" The cosmic little boy didn't care that the Draining Chair caused him immense pain, losing Hunter was so much worse!

Meanwhile, Hunter woke up as he heard soft whimpering. His greatest treasure was crying in his sleep. The former Golden Guard decided to shake him awake. "Hunter?" Colli whispered, his sweet voice was tear-filled.

Hunter kissed lovingly Colli's tears away. "Shhh, shhh. I'm here, Colli. You're safe. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." Hunter pressed with infinite tenderness his forehead against Colli's, while Colli intertwined his fingers with Hunter's.

Colli cuddled closer to his big brother. "It was terrible, Hunter! Belos was back! He... he trapped me on the Draining Chair again! And then..." Colli went silent. "What happened then, Sunshine?" Hunter asked softly.

"Belos turned into his Palisman Beast form and killed you!" Colli bursted out into tears again. Hunter placed soft and loving brotherly kisses all over Colli's adorable multi-colored face. "I'm here, Colli. And I will never leave you."

Hunter began to sing a lullaby for his beloved little brother. Fortunately, Colli drifted off to sleep again. "We will stay together forever, Colli. I promise." Hunter pulled the immortal celestial boy, whom he loved more than anything, closer and held him protectively in his arms.

The End

I was watching a video essay about art (always a bad idea) and my frustration at the points being made was so immense it almost made me want to make a reaction video. Like it made quite a few good points but it also falls in the trap op presenting art history in a typical linear frame of progress and that drives me up the waaaaaaaaaalll aaaaaaaaaahhhh

#also please please stop reducing artists to their trauma and their art as just another form of therapyyyyyyy #most of them were political activists and their art were reflections of their ideologieeeeeeees #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hello!! I came across your series for Cupid’s Last Wish last week when I finished the series and immediately got hit with the post series depression 😭😭 I wanted to ask if you had any plans/intentions to finish the latest story in the CLW collection? It was so good and perfectly captured how manipulative the mom is, and the way the chapter ended was just perfect 😌😌 but if you have no intentions of going back to the series that is also perfectly okay but I wanted to say you did an AMAZING job with the characterizations and the small fix-it’s in each work that make the show even better!!

Aaaaaaaaaahhhh! Thank you!

Your words truly have made my day, thank you so damn much! <3 <3 <3 (I had time to flail over them since this morning so I'm all giddy now XD) This corner of the fandom is so very small and tiny and the interaction so little, your words really boost my joy and motivation!

I actually DO plan on continuing the last story and I've already written a bit, but life got in the way and it's not an easy one to get into the mood for. But so far I've planned to continue and finish it =^^=

Thank you again for your words, I'm really glad you enjoy this little series of my fix it's and their characters <3 Have a wonderful day/night and take care :D

#ask #pooper-dooper #clw #imagine me dancing around pls #this little series is so dear to me #and the fandom is so smol

Saw Hadestown last night, my thoughts [SPOILERS]:

The show starts with Hermes coming out, flashing his sparkly vest, and making sure the actors and stuff are ready before starting Road to Hell

The way Hades and Persephone just sit on the balcony for the first few numbers, watching the people, like the gods do

Orpheus tried to give Eurydice a match at the beginning!!!

Eurydice has on summer clothes under her huge warm coat, accommodating the sharp weather shifts

OH ORPHEUS’ SONG MADE THE ICONIC FLOWER APPEAR I DIDNT KNOW THAT

During Wedding Song: Eurydice: *opening her coat, showing her summer outfit* “you want to take me home? 😉😏” Orpheus: “😳😳 yes”

During “Livin it Up On Top” after Orpheus says “to the world we dream about” everyone turns, glasses raised, to the audience, before Orpheus says “and the world we live in now” MADE MY JAW DROP I WAS DEAD

During All I’ve Ever Known, Eurydice seems like she wants to push Orpheus away and be safe but she can’t because she’s fallen for him

HADES’ ENTRANCE WITH THE SMOKE AND THE SUNGLASSES AND THE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTS AND THE DOOR THING OPENING UP WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH THE TICKET TO THE UNDERWORLD IS THE TWO COINS

AND EURYDICE HAS THE RED FLOWER AND THE COINS, SYMBOLIZING HER CHOICE OH MY GOD BITCH

AND SHE LEFT THE FLOWER BEHIND THEN ORPHEUS TOOK IT THEN HADES TOOK IT THEN HE GIVES IT TO PERSEPHONE AT THE END OF EPIC III OOOOOOOOHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

They had a turntable! I didn’t know if they had one but eventually it was used and I was like “OOOOOOOOH FUCK YEAH”

During “Wait for Me” when Orpheus sings to the Fates, the set pieces move aside, preparing the set for the underworld, and showing Orpheus’ powers, I WAS FUCKING FLOORED DOG FR

When Eurydice is dancing with the other Hadestown workers, she’s a little out of sync and clumsy with the dance, showing her newness

Hades’ vest has a red silk backside which we don’t see until later on in the show, maybe symbolizing his softer side

During Our Lady of the Underground Persephone actually calls out the names of the band members!!!!!!! I’m so glad they’re getting recognition

After “I CONDUCT THE ELECTRIC CITY” in Chant (Reprise) all the lights on stage go out for a moment, and when they come back on, Orpheus and Eurydice are now holding each other and they weren’t before

During Doubt Comes In, Orpheus is out of the underworld but Eurydice is not, and he turns around, sealing her fate, that shit fucking HURT

Also in Doubt Comes In most of the stage is in darkness and Eurydice can’t be seen for some of it, making us feel Orpheus’ doubt BRO I CAN’T

AND THE CREEPY MINIMAL BLUE LIGHTING SO UNLIKE THE REST OF THE NUMBERS IS SO AAAAAAAAAAHHHH

At the end, after Road to Hell (Reprise) and the audience got up to clap during the bows, Hermes quieted everyone down and then they started We Raise Our Cups

The lighting and how it was used was fucking incredible with how dynamic and unique it was and how it changed with certain scenarios I’m DEAD

The costumes, the choreography, the music, the actors, the set, the EVERYTHING was so fucking incredible

Fucking outstanding show please go see it if you have a chance

#love this show #might be my new favorite musical #might add more if I think of any more #Hadestown #hadestown national tour #my thoughts #spoilers #long post #musical theatre #theatre
