I think I'll just say this: I don't agree when people call any of the islanders "bad parents" just because their parenting is flawed.
Like, parents and their parenting is flawed. Inherently. One parent cannot meet all the demands of their child; it is literally impossible. As humans are imperfect, there will always be something missing or lacking in one's parenting. Hell, sometimes even two parents can't meet all their child's needs, depending on their personalities. If that's the case, then I guess all parents are bad parents. But that's not the case, so I don't get why people are so adamant when they see that a parent isn't handling things 100% perfectly and go "wow this person's parenting sucks."
And this is even more so when you take into account... pretty much everything going on in Quesadilla island. These people never really planned to be parents, yet here they are! And this island is out to kill these kids, so it's also a dangerous game of survival now, too! There are horrors around pretty much every corner. Plus, outside or inside forces are making the islanders suffer very often. The islanders are never okay. How they take care of their children is going to be different just by the very basis of their environment. The standards of parenting are different here. Their relationships with people, including their children, were never going to be 100% healthy or positive or okay. It's just not possible.
so, no, I don't think that just cause, say, q!Tubbo or q!Phil aren't great in regards to their emotional intelligence and often isolate themselves, or when any other parents in general don't handle what their children are going through perfectly, that they're bad parents. That kinda statement feels like it diminishes pretty much all the hard work and effort and love they put into taking care of their kids and even kids that aren't their own. Tubbo gives his everything for Sunny, and was/is an active babysitter for a lot of other eggs. Phil works so hard to love and teach survival to and take care of his two eggs equally. (Like, being 'basically' a single parent, of one or WORSE, two, is already hard enough in the real world - imagine being one on this fucking hellscape they're on).
Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out the parents' flaws. Their flaws make them human, and it'd be foolish to disregard their humanity. And it's interesting to analyze their flaws and what they say about the character, and how they impact their family. There's nuance there, and it should be discussed.
But I think when you're just going "oh, they're bad at parenting in general" because they fumble the bag in other departments lacks nuance. Sure, if you're just saying "they're bad when it comes to certain aspects of parenting," that's a different story, because that's understanding their flaws while recognizing that those flaws don't define all of their parenting. But to just say they're bad at it in general isn't productive analysis of their characters in any way. I haven't watched q!Phil take care of his egg for a whole year (followed by a second egg more consistently shortly after) only for people to shit on his parenting just because his lack emotional intelligence is more noticeable as of recent due to all the trauma and bullshit he's endured. And I haven't seen q!Tubbo put his whole heart into taking care of Sunny as well as multiple other eggs, being Chayanne and Tallulah's reliable godfather, just for people to put down his efforts because he's not always great at more emotionally in depth conversations. They're good parents in a lot of ways, and those strengths shouldn't be discredited just because they aren't good at other things. Their characters deserve way better than that.
tldr these parents are all good in many regards and are just trying their damn best in the worst of circumstances, can we cut them just a bit of slack, please?

Hello! Could I please get a cricket crew (those who are okay with x reader Ofc) with a reader who’s really sad and just struggling mentally, and they end up comforting the reader? :)
yes of course!! tbh this is me atm lol (lh), thanks for the request!! hope you enjoy
HANDSOME BROS ; mental baggage
includes ; tommyinnit, tubbo, ranboo, & badlinu
warnings ; language, talk about mental health and self harm
masterlist
Tumblr media
[ here's a song I'm obsessed with atm that I listened to while making this ]
TOMMYINNIT
he sees right through you but he doesn't know how to bring it up
you end up having to like spam call him out of fear you might hurt yourself so he has the confirmation at least that he wasn't overthinking it
after that, he's a bit over the top with making sure you're okay and stuff but he genuinely cares and backs off if you need him too
he's wide open for hugs if you need them
he's not a perfect talker but he knows how to make you smile and he knows that he's built trust with you, and he'll spend hours just trying to get you to understand how much he loves you and that he'll always be here for you
he understands that you know he loves you, and you aren't gonna get better with that, but he knows deep down it helps you just a tiny bit to know that he cares and he'll spend an uncountable amount of hours telling you all that
he strikes me as a words of affirmation & quality time guy, so just enjoying your presence while you do things and loving you from far away is usual
like if you're just chilling in silence he'll occasionally look up at you to make sure you're alright
"You look great today, y/n/n, is that a new shirt?"
"are you djo? cause I'd love to listen to you- wait, no-"
"I need more cringey pickup lines, hold on.."
once he sees you obviously happier and healing, he just explodes like a firework
he's just happy cause you're even the slightest bit happier, he understands the lack of motivation and the deep bits and seeing you rise out of them is so inspiring to him
TUBBO
he brings it up before you do, he's just concerned
"look, I've noticed your shift in behavior, I just wanna make sure you're okay. and don't shrug it off with a dumbass excuse, please be honest with me"
you open up to him and explain the situation and why you've been struggling recently
he gives me quality time & acts of service vibes, so he'd definitely have everything in his hands for you when he could
like Tommy, he knows just telling you how much he cares about you isn't gonna heal you, but he'll spend hours doing so anyways
you guys can spend a few hours just never speaking and just soaking up each other's presence and stuff, to the point where it genuinely helps you a bit
"Oh, here's some more water, I noticed your cup was almost empty"
"Here's a hoodie, I noticed your goosebumps and I know you think they're warm and comfortable considering you take them all the time"
does some little extra activities like long walks or window shopping around town to make sure you're getting sunlight and some steps in, but also to spend time with you
you guys have a long talk (to be safe) about self harm and if you feel like you might hurt yourself, to not act on impulse and to call him or a friend if he doesn't answer
he's generally very healthy with helping you although he isn't always healthy to himself
dude surprises you with random Doordash in the evening before you make dinner and texts you a "surprise!" when he gets the notif that it's arrived
it's a bi-weekly tradition
and he knows damn well you'll eat that food up too lmao
RANBOO
you're the one who instantly brought it up, you felt yourself sinking and knew you couldn't drown too far because you were worried you couldn't be helped this time
instantly just like hugs you and talks it out with you
he understands that your struggling and recommends taking a break and spending time on yourself and maybe talking to a therapist if you're comfortable with doing that, even offers to go with you
you do end up finding a therapist who can listen to you and try to help on top of ranboo
"Hey, have you eaten today? if not I'll order you some takeout"
"Oh my God, are those new pants? they look great on you!"
they found a glow squid plush at the store and immediately bought it for you, it had little glow in the dark bits on it as well. they smiled so wide seeing the way you smiled at them
frequently asks if they can do anything for you or if you need anything from them
they show you some new music to maybe get hooked on to maybe fixate you on something if you're lacking a fixation and feel a little lonely in your mind
they give me gift giving & words of affirmation vibes so
always making sure you're okay in a new/populated environment and will totally get you out if you need to leave
your feelings are his top priority
he's always open for you to talk to him, he encourages it even if you don't wanna talk about it in therapy
they're extremely supportive, and seeing you slowly come out of the hole you were sinking into makes them so proud
"dude, you're unbeatable, you're so strong and brave, and I'm so proud of you, kay?"
FREDDIE BADLINU
you try to mask up your sadness around him for a while, hoping itd go away and you'd be fine again
he came over to your place with your favorite takeout as a surprise, and found you trying to wipe away and hide your tears at your desk
"Oh, lovely, what's wrong?"
gives you the biggest, warmest hug while you rant and open up about your feelings to him
obviously, as much as he tries to help and as much as he'd like to, he can't make your problems vanish
he doesn't wanna overwhelm you so he doesn't pressure you to do anything and always asks if you're comfortable in an environment, and if you'd be okay in said environment
constantly asking if you need anything from him or if he can do anything for you
through the day/when he wakes up/before you go to bed, he sends you messages about how much he loves you and how much he appreciates you in his life
"Don't compare yourself to people you don't know, I like you more"
"If you ever feel like you might hurt yourself, just call me, okay? I'll be here for you in an instant, alright?"
runs you a warm bath anytime you complain of a minor headache or a migraine
over time, he notices your wardrobe go from dull and plain to colorful and creative again
literally so happy that he sees that you're feeling even just a little bit better
he's very mature when you need to talk to him about things and if you need help, he's not judging
he loves cooking you dinner, even if he isn't really a professional chef
he strikes me as an acts of service & gift giving type of guy so I think that explains that

If you were going to write a happy ending for c!tommy what would it look like
You mean you want me to ramble about the ending I’ve made in my head that specifically caters to me? Because I will ramble about the ending that specifically caters to me
So. Wilbur still leaves* and Tommy spirals and becomes deadest on killing Dream. He believes that all of his problems will be solved once he’s is out of the picture. He gets Tubbo and they jump Dream, run over to Punz, he reverses it and they capture clingyduo. Same as canon. (But I would change some dialogue that really bothered me, like the revive book having mind control powers and of course the staged disc finale.)
Clingy duo escape at the sacrifice of Tommy’s discs I guess. They come up with the nuke plan but instead of blowing up the prison Tommy plans on leading them out to logstedshire to cause the least damage. (Since I still think it’s really stupid that changing the trajectory of the nuke just slightly to the left would destroy the whole server. As if just hitting the prison wouldn’t cause the same amount of damage??)
(Also while we’re here Jack wouldn’t be involved in any of this because I hc his issues got sorted out during the stream where he blew up the hotel. He was able to get his closure and move on, don’t ask me how justwaituntiligettohiminpaintedillusions cough cough) Anyways.
Tommy sorta hits his lowest. He prepares to die. He dons his full L’Manburg uniform for the occasion (because the idea of him always planning to be buried in his uniform makes me lose my mind) At this point he thinks he’s lost everything. He’s ready to go down with the ship. At least he thinks he is…
Tubbo says totems won’t save him but he offers Tommy one anyways because he hopes he’s wrong. And Tommy takes it because he hopes he’s wrong too.
Tommy sets off to get the grilled cheese duo and succeeds in leading them to logstedshire. How? Uhh maybe he snuck in the prison with invisibility and yoinked a book from them. Something drastic enough to scare them into chasing after him.
They make it to logstedshire and I won’t go too into it because I’m making an animatic to better explain all this but Tommy is determined to go down laughing and Dream takes some L’s.
Nuke hits, Logstedshire is destroyed Dream and punz are dead and Tommy is alive. Tommy is alive and that shakes him up a bit. I don’t think it fully hits him until the next day. But physically he’s okay minus the new glittery golden streak in his hair (it’s barely noticeable unless he’s in the sun which I think is funny. Gets a cool hairstreak and it’s not even that visible, how unfair!)
Then we get to the fun part! A slow and thorough journey of Tommy unpacking all the shit he went through. Because surprise! Killing Dream didn’t solve everything like he hoped it would. The happy ending is that Tommy is given the chance to work towards his happy ending, yknow?
I imagine that when he hit his lowest point, yknow preparing to die, that he doesn’t quite leave that point. He thinks he does because he’s running off the adrenaline of finally defeating Dream. But he doesn’t quite realize how unfair and dangerous it was for him to have to do that in the first place. And in time he starts to realize that with Tubbo’s help (and maybe other characters help too, maybe Wilbur hears about what happened and comes back, of course there’s Quackity too. All the people who care about Tommy come to support him but they’re too late. They’re too late and have to realize that. They weren’t there for Tommy when he needed them but they’re here now.)
Tldr: What would a happy ctommy ending look like if I wrote it? Dream dies, and Tommy sets off on the journey to unpack all his trauma and learn how to find his happiness with his small support system. (So basically what I’m doing with Painted Illusions sksjjdj)
Also to be clear this is just the little world/au that lives in my head. This isn’t what I wanted the real ending to be. I don’t think all these ideas are very feesible in the medium of streaming. So if you had asked me what I think should’ve been done differently with the finales I would have a different answer.
*I still dislike the fact that Wilbur left at all. I feel like his story would’ve been stronger if he had stayed and healed. But for the sake of this specific ending he’d have to leave for Tommy to go to spiral the way he does

If you want writing requests some new L’manburg press and vp cclingy are dear to me maybe with some hyper critical news media straining their relationship
super short thing :-) here you go!
ao3
Tubbo’s the first to burst out of the meeting room doors, drinking in the humid pre-rainshower air like he hasn’t breathed in hours.
 
Reporters and journalists crowd the square, their brouhaha of tittering and murmurs quickly exploding into shouts and flashing cameras as Tubbo gulps for air. Barrages of questions and interview requests fling themselves at the members of New L’manberg’s cabinet as they filter out of the building. Glancing back as he tries to weave through the surging crowd, Tubbo catches sight of a peeved looking Quackity pushing microphones out of his face, Ranboo hovering anxiously in the doorway, and Dream slipping away undetected as always. 
“President Tubbo!” A reporter insists, a stout man with a catfish face and a thin, wispy mustache to match, “Can you comment on the tripling size of the obsidian walls around New L’manberg? How do you plan to show Dream that he can’t push you around like that?” 
“Uh– no comment,” Tubbo replies hastily into his microphone, pushing past the man and making a break for the prime path. Journalists shout after him, some daring to follow a few steps, but most of them hang back, hoping to wheedle a few words out of the cabinet members making a more sluggish exit. 
Tubbo takes the prime path to the L’manberg docks, a place of relative peace, and it isn’t long before Tommy’s loud, stomping footsteps come up behind him.
“Oi!” Tommy scowls, catching up. “You left me in that crowd, you dickhead.”
“Oh,” Tubbo winces. In his haste to escape, he had completely abandoned Tommy in the fray. “So I did. Sorry, big man.” 
“Yeah, you fuckin.. Better be,” Tommy huffs indignantly. “After you threw me under the bus in that shitty, terrible meeting. The fuck was that!” 
Tubbo’s gaze snaps to Tommy’s. “Wha- threw you under the bus?” 
“Yes! You were all like, ohh Dream, yes fucking of course I’ll put Tommy under watch forever and make him report to his literal fucking nephew every day! Walls? Yeah! Probation you say? Sure? Five hundred weeks! God, you are so just- insufferable.”
“What do you mean? I totally just saved your ass,” Tubbo replies indignantly. “I bought you two weeks to get your act together. Dream wanted you exiled today. I stood up for you, man!”
“Hardly!” Tommy snorts. “Quackity did more standing up to Dream than you did. You just let him walk all over you!”
“At least I wasn’t groaning and huffing the whole time,” Tubbo shoots back. “You could’ve made your sentence worse.” 
“But I didn’t!” 
“But you could’ve-”
“Could’ve, shmould’ve. Tubbo, I’m not going to be able to make it the next few weeks reporting to Fundy every day and not calling people bitches. I’m- I’m like a beautiful, magnificent horse. I need room to wiggle and roam! I’m a wiggler!” 
“Tommy, I am doing everything I can. Dream is terrifying, it’s hard to reason with him.” 
“What, and you’re just gonna let me get shat on cause you’re scared? Tubbo, you’ve gotta…”
Tubbo looks away, his hands curling into fists in the pockets of his slacks. He’s doing the best that he possibly can, wringing out every ounce of grace and forgiveness that Dream will give without potentially sacrificing his entire nation’s freedom. Tommy’s continuing on, telling him how he needs to stand up to Dream, punctuated with ridiculous similes that don’t even make any sense. Like a magnificent horse- what does that even mean? Tubbo’s so caught up in his own irritation that he hardly hears himself when he curtly snaps, “That’s enough, Tommy.”
Tommy stares directly at him, frowning. “I’m only trying to help.”
Tubbo’s mouth moves of its own accord. “Yeah, well, you’re not the president, are you?”
Tommy recoils like he’s been struck, halting abruptly. Hurt lines his blue eyes, turning them stony. “Wha- Tubbo, you can’t just-” 
“You are constantly undermining my authority,” Tubbo interrupts. “I am dealing with this situation as best as I possibly can, which means I have to make some hard decisions, and I can’t always prioritize you. The entire country is at stake with these conflicts with Dream, and the people have entrusted their lives to me. L’manberg comes first.”
Tommy’s mouth opens and closes, opens and closes. “Tubbo,” he finally says, as if it’s all he can say. 
“I’m dealing with this as best as I can,” Tubbo repeats. He glances at his wristwatch. “I need to meet with Ranboo to recap the meeting. I’ll see you later, Tommy.” He doesn’t wait for Tommy to bid him farewell in return. He turns and walks briskly back the way they came, towards his imaginary meeting, heart racing and a sick taste rising in his mouth. It’s for the best, he repeats to himself. I’m doing my best.
Tommy stands behind him on the prime path silently, in shock. 
It’s begun to rain.

Not the same Anon but some things I wished he had addressed considering he said he was gonna cover everything:
-Past Racism (KKK edit, the Native American tweet) it’s honestly extremely strange to me that these weren’t covered in his video considering they were pretty big controversies
-That one tweet about doxing, he talks about how he said getting doxed as someone without a following and how he shouldn’t have said that which is good but doesn’t talk about the tweet where he says he gets satisfaction in watching other ppl private their twitter. I personally think that tweet is way more damning because “it’s less bad for ppl who don’t have a following to get doxed” is way easier to just pass off as a badly worded opinion then “I like it when people who criticize me are so badly harassed by fans that they have to private their twitter” is
-Talks about how doxing is bad and ppl r parasocial but doesn’t openly acknowledge the multiple times his fandom has gotten ppl doxed, such as quote retweeting a minor who didn’t like his plushie and causing them to get harassed of the internet. Yes he acknowledges doxing is bad, but I think this could’ve been a very good moment for him to look at a specific situation where his fans reacted FOR HIM and say “this was bad don’t do this” which I think would be far more effective than a general “doxing is bad”. He could also acknowledge his part in getting this person harassed because he absolutely did not need to quote retweet them to a fandom that is known for doxing. No dream is not responsible for his fans doxing ppl, some fans will do it even if he condemns it that’s not his fault, BUT refusing to acknowledge the reality that there is an vocal part of his community that does this this and therefore just calling out other ppl without critically thinking abt how his fan base will react to it is harmful.
-His fans age, we all know who dreams primary audience is and it’s primarily teenagers, I’m not saying no adults watch him or that he needs to cater to children when he doesn’t want to, but I think it’s incredibly stupid to act like his audience isn’t consisted largely of that demographic. Everyone lies on YouTube age, when I was 7 my age for my YouTube was 21. I just think it’s a weird point to focus on when it’s very much not true.
-the “I love miners” joke in the middle of his grooming allegations that literally happened like a month ago and proves that in the some vain of blaming his (alleged) victims of not taking SA/ grooming seriously that he is ALSO not treating the situation with the gravity it deserves.
-Liking negative tweets about other creators (Tommy and quackity). I know he confirmed there’s another person running one of his fanart account (I don’t know if these r the same accounts, sorry) but either way I think it’s irresponsibly to either 1. Be publicly liking things that shame other creators and create more vitriol and hatred between fan bases or 2. Not tell this girl to stop liking that stuff?? I think after repeatedly seeing her like stuff that either encourages shipping or hatred towards other ccs he should have set some rules with her about what she could like if he didn’t agree with what she was liking.
-The 24 page document, I just wish he’d gone more in depth with document other than looking at one part going “it’s not true!” And then moving on. I think it would’ve been so much better just to actually go through and debunk the whole thing if he was able to.
-The weird sexual “jokes” made towards minors such as Tommy and Tubbo’s little sister. Yes they were “just jokes” and they don’t make him a groomer or a pedo, but a lot of them are superrrr uncomfy. The one abt Lani especially makes me uncomfortable, sexual jokes made towards you pretty much always suck, and I don’t think this makes him irredeemable but he should at least acknowledge how gross and uncomfortable this kind of humor is and try not to repeat it. If you aren’t aware of these jokes there’s a video by technoinnit on YouTube called proof/clips of dream making sexual jokes abt minors that I recommend watching
Yes he has addressed a lot of these before not in the video, but like he’s addressed everything else in the video before too?? In my personal opinion dream really focused on the stuff that I feel is easier to make himself look good for or just apologize for in general. Sorry if this is long I just wanted to address why each of the things he left out felt harmful to his argument because while I feel like a lot of the hate towards dream is often way too much or uncritical there are things that are important to criticize him for and ppl are acting like this video has absolved him of all his misdeeds or whatever when I very much feel that a lot of his video is less of an “apology” or and acknowledgement of his own faults then a “yes I guess I’ve messed up a little bit but look at how hard my life is and that’s why I acted that way” (not saying that the stuff he and his family have gone through isn’t bad, but the doesn’t excuse all his behaviors)
Wow hiya sorry ive taken a couple days to reply, here now tho :)
First read, wow "vitriol", never heard or seen that word used before. Will remember that one for my literature paper next month.
But that's really in depth, thanks for takin the time to explain it all out anon
Brief impressions:
-Making sexual jokes w friends is vibes, but there's deffo a breach of normality if you're making jokes to minors (Dream making jokes to Tommy n Tubbo u said?) And omfg, jokes at Lani? Wild as hell, esp when i can pretty firmly assume they wuldnt b close AT ALL, that's j blatantly uncomfortable regardless of all other circumstances which make it seriously fucking disturbing
-Yeah, the way the Dream fandom can dox is crazy. It's some serious skill but used in such a vitriol way (did i use the word correctly, here?) It does feel a wee bit hypcocritical if he's saying doxxing is bad and then posting the @'s of Tweets from Anti-Dreamers without blurring the person's username, considering i feel like in that scenario he's sort of opening the table to online harrassment n possibly doxxing if shit really hit teh roof....
-Liking negative tweets ab other creators is so SNAKY! Idk if any Dream followers know Locked In/Footasylum, but guy called "Nightscape" on YouTube did this after going on Footasylum's reality show "Locked In" and got absolutely blasted for being "snaky" and "backstabbing"... And tbf, i think it's quite clear there's not much friendship between Dream n Tommy anymore, but ya gotta have some class or even just basic dignity to not do this shit...
Just some brief thoughts on what you've posted n what I've seen so far, cheers for giving the info dump, anon 👍

Alrighty make my brain work to remember who’s in the DC universe again lol. (I may get peeps names wrong)
Batman au
I love the idea of Tommy just being really clumsy but trying to help lol. Gives him love: by making him a crime fighter lol
Now we love good ol Gotham city. Who ideally would fit commissioner Gordon and his daughter Barbara? I’d love to think we’d get someone to fit batgirl here at some point lol.
And honestly I love the idea of Dream as like the Ridler but better. He’s really crafty and just word games! But like that could also be Quackity because again: mind games lol but he’s the joker. Idk these 2 villains could really be either character I think
Also is Techno like the standard Bruce Wayne in this with the tragic backstory and is a billion still? I wanna know his origins lol
And and and is Techno definitely batman or are you sticking with Technos boar theme lore wise? I’m curious :3
Okie thanks for answering 🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭❤️
AGHH thank you sm becky!! brainrot for this au is real and these are amazing :] (and dw it's been a while since i've been into batman. at least it's the easier dc universe and not whatever marvel has going on)
YES love him. i feel that kinda sums up part of his character cause techno just always says "why are you like this" when tommy is running around techno's house stealing stuff and breaking things LMAO
also wilbur himself has said tommy breaks everything he touches. so mini-giant tommy for the WIN
YES we do love a good ol crime infested gotham city >:)
hmm well i might make some changes with the significance of barbara in this au just to fit techno's character, especially with batman's attraction to her. also i want to play around with the whole c!techno being used as a weapon trait,,, i could technically have gordon be schlatt and barbara be tubbo, which would then solidify dream as superman,,,,
god damn it's hard mushing two fandoms together cause usually i just make a new setting for my aus but i have to keep traits from two characters :')
i could see tubbo as batgirl, kind of? just techno taking tubbo under his wing for a bit, like he did with tommy. this could also offer some clingyduo bonding. and some angst if i follow lore iykyk :3
and YEAH the riddler & the penguin are the two people i'd like to have figured out,,, i'm thinking maybe having jack be one of them, but i'm not entirely sure what c!jack is to c!techno and vice versa, but otherwise i wouldn't be opposed to it. jack i can see being the riddler,,,,, but YEAH i do like dream being them, but i think i'm going for superman being dream,,,
i'll need to pirate the batman movies at some point to refresh my memory because i can't keep relying on fandom wiki to help me 😭
techno does have the same backstory as batman pretty much. parents died in a similar fashion. the only different thing is how techno met phil,,,,
and as for his current self i'm not really sure how he got rich. bruce had like his whole company or smth i kinda forget,, anyway i'd say techno just worked really hard doing a lot of different stuff as a kid. maybe phil created minecraft and techno helped a LOT along the way and got a lot of the money from it 😭 both of those can be canon for now fjsdfj
after techno's parents died and he met phil n all, he went into a foster home but ran away from it pretty quickly just because he wanted to do things on his own. and besides, he had a tiny father-figure to help him, he'd be fine. like i said, he did a lot of neighborly chores and worked around the city with part-times to just get some stability,,\
i thought about it, but i'd say he's definitely batman for this au. don't worry i have another superhero au coming soon where he's more technoblade :D
thank you sm for the questions !! fun worldbuilding >:)

Ok so. That ending fucking sucked.
Not to go "he would not fucking say that" but c!tommy would not fucking say that. Oh boohoo the abuse man was happy before the annoying teen came to the server, guess that completely justifies the psychological, mental and physical torture he put tommy through and puts them on the same level. Not to mention they were literally talking about how c!dream and c!punz goal was "becoming gods" and how they did literally every bad thing under the sun and ruined everything for everyone else for that unrealistic, stupid goal no one else wanted. How was that setup not used to show how insane they both are?? How was that mindset not reprimanded?? HOW AND WHY DO THEY GET A FRESH START LIKE THAT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN 5 SECONDS AGO??
Big Edit: i feel the need to clarify that i don't have a big problem with ctommy saying"sorry". Because he wasn't forgiving cdream.he didn't warn about the nuke. What i have an issue with is the idea of "understanding" cdream. c!dream is human, that's the big point here. But that should come with the realization that he's a horrible human. He does not need to be understood, because he doesn't want to understand anyone else. He's a megalomaniac with a god complex and the implication that all they needed was "understanding" and then them becoming friends immediately after with the reset just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For fucks sake, just moments ago he was equating c!tommy, a teen, being annoying, stealing and causing pranks to himself stalking, murdering, manipulating and abusing c!tommy in every possible way. These 2 things are not equal. I get that ctommy choosing to "understand" cdream rather than spit on his abusers' face was to show how ctommy is the bigger person, a better human being than cdream. But god do i hate that idea. You shouldn't need to be the bigger person than your abuser, because your abuser should have gotten what they deserved already instead of you feeling like you have to just "move on" with your life when they didn't get what they deserved for what they did. "that's just how it is" but it shouldn't be. Remember the discsaga finale? Where it seemed that ctubbo and ctommys' actually got a victory for once, a satisfying conclusion? Only for it to be ripped away because actually, cdream and cpunz planned that all along!!! Let's be honest here, did c!dream ever actually lose? Because every single time, while he receives some consequences (rarely), he always ends up winning. The discsaga finale. The prison break. And now the s1 finale. What does that show us? What are we supposed to get from this? Why can't c!tubbo and c!tommy ever just be allowed to have an actual victory for once, a happy ending for themselves without compromises and actuallys?-
- Why aren't they allowed to be happy without c!dream ruining it and having to make compromises to live with the man who ruined their lives?
End of edit.
The lore has in general been all over the place and kinda shitty lately. It's just been going steadily downhill for a while imo. Wtf was that with c!sam clones. Where did that come from.
Also. they really just. Did Not Mention DreamXD AT ALL even though he seemed super important to both the discussion at hand and seemed to be doing something important before : "I've been real busy dealing with some stuff"
AND ALSO WHILE ON THAT TOPIC. FOOLISH. FOOLISHXD. i am SUPER annoyed that that plotline of Foolish getting souls for XD was left completely unfinished. Really guys, one of the most interesting dynamics in the whole server and you choose to do NOTHING with them? (I'm a foolishxd shipper can't you tell). Besides, this entire thing of the finale centers around death and life and the balance of it all. Ahem. FOOLISH AND XD ARE RIGHT. THERE. THEY!! WOULD AND SHOULD BE!! IMPORTANT!! TO THIS DISCUSSION!!
i am also incredibly afraid that this "fresh start" completely resets everyones lore and personalities and development. No one likes an ending like that. Because, if that does happen, then what was the point of it all? Yes i am specifically thinking about foolishxd leave me alone. But also we didn't see ANYONE except for c!tubbo, tommy and dream. That's why I'm afraid.

ok but consider the apologies we've had thus far, and the stories they have individually told.
techno's apology was awkward, but amicably resolved. techno never held too much bad blood for wilbur in the specific, so it was a solid starting point, and it went well. techno showed that mending things is possible, and even if it's uncomfortable it's not the end of the world and it's worth it to try.
tubbo was one of the relationships that held the most hurt, but also some of the most care. wilbur put planning and effort into making a grand gesture, for this one, and it paid off with a peaceful ending. his apology to tubbo gave wilbur a solid victory, a sense that his efforts Can pay off, that he Can leave something better in his wake and create new, peaceful memories behind him.
eret's apology was unplanned and abrupt, and at points tense and harsh, but ultimately also ended well, achieving a sense of closure for both parties. eret was the first to say, "sincere though you may be, it's not right to just apologize and walk away; you have to prove it with your actions," and that was something wilbur ultimately took to heart.
fundy's apology was also unplanned, and while a sort of closure was reached, it was in an extremely brutal fashion; not a gentle tying of loose ends, but a firm line in the sand, and a violent, bloody rejection. in contrast to eret, fundy said, "sometimes it doesn't matter what you say or what you prove, sometimes it's not a matter of you walking away and giving other people space, sometimes people will push you away themselves. and sometimes people destroy themselves in light of the pain you have caused and there is nothing you can do about it, as much as you may wish to reach out, because there is a boundary established there that you cannot cross. sometimes you have to witness the consequences of the pain you caused and walk away."
and all of these apologies, all of these various contrasting reactions give extremely important lessons for wilbur to learn! because though they may seem to conflict at times, they're all potentially true for Anyone who has caused hurt in the midst of their own suffering. and it's a testament to how human these characters can be that the ccs are able to tell these varying stories and show all these different reactions to the simple act of apology and have them feel so raw and real.
so then, narratively, who do we have left?
first off, there's niki. niki, who has been the most vocally bitter and angry over the hurt wilbur has caused her.
and then there's tommy. tommy, who wilbur himself perhaps does not even register as someone to apologize to, but who has always, through everything, despite all the hurt, has Always stuck by wilbur's side, and is so clearly the final stop on this journey.
i wonder what lessons they will teach, what stories they will tell?

dream smp warning cause i know most of you guys don’t wanna see me talk about the dsmp in a sincere way. i am talking about the dream smp finale. a very long post.
so i just watched the las nevadas ending and the tommyinnit dream ending and i… actually quite liked them both. i must say for the tommyinnit dream ending i had heard bad and did not have high expectations for it.
i liked that ending, but obviously i would’ve been fine with tommy killing dream for the last time and ending it with them, of course, still having problems, but extremely less so without dream. however, the ending we got really embodies the being of the dreamsmp, so i guess there’s not much more i can ask for.
we know that with the dsmp, every character has a story, and every character has a perspective, and who’s right or wrong depends on what perspective you’re viewing. we didn’t get to see dream’s perspective except for at the very beginning when he started the server, which i’ll just be honest, i’ve never watched any earlier in the dsmp than when tommy joined. dream went against everyone in the dsmp at some point, and no one got to see his pov.
now, just so we’re on the same page here, i still despise him. i don’t care what he’s been through, he’s still probably my most hated villain. understanding him was one of those things i’d always wondered about, so i’m glad we finally got to find out. and looking back on it, it makes sense. he’s always wanted, and i quote, “a big happy family.” and of course, tommy did start all the conflict, and it escalated from there, but what dream did was in his heart. he had that in him.
if the breaking point for both of them was, let’s just say, when tommy and wilbur started the camar van, tommy was just having fun, while dream saw it was causing conflict and wanted to remove it immediately. that’s how dream is with everything. he tried to remove the discs, he tried to remove l'manberg, and he tried to remove tommy, all while still trying to keep it in tact, because he’s trying to remove all the problems while still keeping people who like the problems happy. just like disney trying to appeal to homophobes and gay people at the same time, it’s not gonna work. dream couldn’t just live with it, not having his perfect life. he couldn’t withstand the smallest inconvenience. and he was willing to destroy anyone or anything to get his perfect life, where everyone followed his rules and everyone was happy with it. NO cdream apologist is welcome here.
however, i agree that he and tommy very well could’ve been friends. not then and there, though, oh no. before “the incident” as they have so lovingly dubbed, tommy made it clear that there was not a second when they were on the same side. i think that holds true in their final moments too. they understood each other, but they weren’t on the same side. i think what would’ve happened if there was no scratch is that tommy and dream would truce. not on the same side, not buddies nor pals. they just would not be messing with each other anymore. i wouldn’t have liked that, though. i wanted dream to die because if he was still alive, he would just keep doing what he was doing.
dream did die, so i’m happy with that. i don’t mind that tommy died too. what better way to go than with your sworn enemy after you just got to understand each other? and when they arrive in post-scratch dsmp, which we still don’t know how happened or why tubbo’s there and not punz, they do have a clean slate. dream doesn’t feel the need to have everything under control, not yet at least. tommy is still as mischievous as ever. (which goes to show that while tommy instigated everything, he wasn’t the problem.)
but what i like most about post-scratch dsmp is how they made it feel like, well, like you just joined a new smp with a bunch of strangers. of course, that’s not how it happened originally, and you usually don’t START an smp with strangers, but this is a special circumstance. tommy doesn’t even know who tubbo is despite knowing tubbo before the dsmp. i doubt anyone knows who anyone is despite many of them being in contact before the dsmp. who even knows if they remember ANYTHING that happened before the dsmp. since what happened to them before the dsmp IS important to their lore, i’d imagine they don’t remember.
the ending brings back those days of meeting new people on minecraft. i like to think the short conversation they carried out was done in the minecraft chat. they just had to stylize it by speaking since that leaves a bigger impact on the audience and is more natural by dsmp standards. the conversation was casual, awkward, short, sweet, and very minecraft-y. the “wanna build a base” as the first course of action selling that this is, in fact, a minecraft survival multiplayer server and not some big elaborate roleplay. and even though it fits right into the conversation, the “wanna be friends?” really knocks you back, as it’s supposed to i’m sure. it’s not a weird thing to ask, people who are just now meeting. yet for us, the people who have watched these two go at each other for two years, it does really seem impossible. my brain thinks, “this is very, very wrong. they would never be friends. and tubbo is right there, and they are not speaking.”
i know this might sound stupid to those who didn’t sit through it in real time. like, “duh of course it’s unnatural they were enemies just a second ago.” but i mean i really can’t see tommy and dream being friends. yes, they very well could’ve been, but i can’t see them as such. i can’t see dream being good at all. it is so bent in my mind that dream is a terrible person. i don’t want to see him being friendly. i don’t want to see tommy near dream. point being: if dream and tommy do become friends in dsmp 2, i don’t think my brain will allow me to accept it. if i even watch it to begin with, cause i got a lot of stuff going on. i always manage to get drug back into minecraft though, so who knows, maybe i won’t be able to keep my hands off of it.
thanks for reading all of this if you did. honestly i’m hoping they don’t make dream all good guy goodie two shoes because he definitely is not a misunderstood villain; he is a bad person. and resetting everything to make it where dream is an angel now makes it seem like all that happened pre-scratch wasn’t his fault (it definitely was). it sort of weakens what tommy went through and makes it seem like it was all circumstance fault even though what happened was definitely decided by a person who had a choice to do the right thing or to not, and that person chose to do the wrong thing and hurt people. instead, they can show how with tommy as a friend, he can overcome those destructive controlling tendencies.
ok i’m done now. for now.

The island being alive is so!!! Rahhhh!! I love the concept so much!
The idea that it will give you everything, make you happy, and then take even more from you. It's so interesting! Always loved the sorta Neverland vibe that the island gives. A place you never have to leave and can be happy and explore every day...but watch out!
not to bring it back to tubbo’s wall street metaphors but the island really invests in its residents and generates entities and natural challenges that the players will enjoy just to keep them there, it really is such a give and take. the way it learns what each player desires, improving itself and going steps above every time to better the experience for the players and keep them around. it’s so very neverland it’s quite seahaven island too
if the island is alive my theory is that the federation is there to study it. the island is some paranormal being and the federation has been established on the island and prodding at it for much, much longer than the players have been there. i think it’s possible that the crashes in this case were not accidental (which. idk how hot that take is tbh) but instead the island causing them in some bermuda-triangle type maneuver to get somebody, anybody else looking at what the federation is doing. still incredibly possible that the federation caused every crash because they wanted to see how the island would interact with people— sidenote i saw this theory somewhere (i think on here pls let me know if it’s you i’ll link the post) that the ice block batch of players are actually the original players from the trailer because the island’s infrastructure looks so different between the trailer and when our initial sixteen batch joined which is delicious meta that’s so interesting, n makes it possible that the federation brought that first ice block batch and the island knows what happened to them and then crashed a train and a boat and a plane to rally up players to find them

i’m gonna be real with you, i’ve saw like maybe two or three origins streams ;-; ooo, i would like to hear about them whenever if you’d like!! and if you don’t want them to to public or anything, you can always dm if you want to! gosh, i love headcanons, feel free to come to me and tell me about them anytime you wanna :D
poetry is so nice. i used to write poetry sometimes when i was in really bad moments of mental health stuff, so most of my poetry is really triggering probably. i totally understand you with feeling like characters are living and breathing people, i feel that so much. i had an oc who i adored some years ago and haven’t touched on her since those years ago. unfortunate, i miss her so much (her name is june btw). i miss writing, it’s one of the only things i’ve ever truly shared and created because i used to be good at it, but now i think i’ve lost a lot of that. the last thing i wrote was a short c!ranboo poem that i posted a few months ago (i think). and i completely get you, makes total sense. i think writing in that way is really nice
oh? that’s cool then! i don’t know if you remember, but someone asked you a bit ago what names you’d pick for cs!tubbo if his name wasn’t tubbo, and i can’t remember if that was on anon or not (i think it was, and that was me actually. so we have cs!tubbo and cs!ranboo, haha. mhm, i get you, but i wanted to! because the fic is genuinely so fucking incredible and i wanted to add to the lovely community for it, but turns out it was a guy in my brain. i haven’t seen her in a while…. she’s incredibly mentally ill so she’s weary of being around. but if i see them anytime soon, i’ll let him know you said that. i’m sure they would appreciate that. oh no, she’s fine with it. one of the names he goes by actually is mare, because of you, so i’m very positive they’re comfortable with being associated with you and everything? also please let me know if her using a name of yours makes you uncomfortable, he wouldn’t like to make you uncomfortable :]
HELLO I AM SO SORRY I AM REPLYING SO LATE hope you are well <3
i don't have all the energy atm to explain my full headcanons but basically i had a fic AU set in a modern, non-fantastical universe where the osmp cast lived in this smaller quaint town and eventually o!Ranboo left to move into the city after a natural disaster event happened in the other town and caused her some trauma. her relationships are generally strained but are better with some people than others but inevitably she is able to find her way home. there's more to it than that but that was my idea hehe
poetry is so so so fucking healing seriously, and honestly like! any kind of writing is so important to keep regardless of whether it fits on this metric of "good/bad", like. it's coming from the heart and your experiences and these characters that you connect to (june sounds lovely by the way, <3) and that's what's most important. i've had to give myself a lot of grace with cough syrup about whether or not i was writing it perfectly because, yeah, the first couple of chapters are objectively on the shittier end compared to the rest of the fic. but what matters is that it conveyed what i wanted it to, and it gave me a way to spend that summer, and it meant a lot to me.
i hope this isn't uncomfortable to say but the fact that your csranboo uses the name mare because of me makes me like, tear up a little. and yes, i remember that anon! i find it so interesting how many people have asked me about alternate names i'd give the characters for purposes of fictives because to be entirely honest i am so ungodly shitty with names that every time i flounder LMAO, but it's very sweet that people ask me haha . also tell your cstubbo i say hello as well , there are many brain guys in this community too and i think that's realy neat honestly

hello :3 nothing better than waking up to a new midnight series update. and coming back from work to another update, i get so happy whenever you post something new<3
also . grian and mumbo in the previous one<3 grian got his homoerotic wing preening yess that's what he deserves!! god they're both so possessive and fucked up in the head and completely in love with each other<3 and it's soo grian that he didn't just straight up said he wants mumbo but decided to use bird language instead to show him .
they went to visit scar in his shop!! AND TUBBO IS HEREEE MY BOY!!! :D SCAR IS HAVING MORE DAD MOMENTS YESSSS. they make me so happy, dad scar is everything to me fr. but poor mumbo, i felt so bad for him in that scene:( hope he gets the chance to co-parent tubbo in the future . hehehe
grian and mumbo saw scar with his hair braided and thought "i sure hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" LMAO. who can blame them though, scar is really pretty and he deserves to be complimented all the time<3 and scar's reaction was so cute, it's probably a very high praise to compliment an elf on their hair because it's so important to them. also i'm so happy they got to see dad scar in action. tubbo and grian are so silly together hehe. grian is the type of guy who would always side with tubbo just to annoy scar lmaoo
scar let them into his home…. it means so much especially considering scar is a rather private person and he likes to keep his personal life to himself. plus he's super protective of tubbo. but he trusts grian and mumbo enough to let them into his home when he's not ever there
MUMBO IS DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THE FAE HE'S SO SWEET AHHH he tries so hard to understand scar. the mental image of mumbo sitting in his room and reading long ass books about the fae just so he can know more about scar and avoid possibly offending him…. he's so dear to me . i don't think scar is the only one obsessed hehe
they went on another date<3 and scar rambling about history and architecture??? he's just like me oh my godd i'm a big history nerd, i would listen to him anytime .
the woman who touched grian's wing made me so mad . and she hates scar too, like, pick a struggle. but protective scar<3 i'm obsessed with scar being all serious and scary because it's such a contrast to his usual personality. like you see him being all nice and silly but once you hurt the people he cares about, he will murder you in cold blood. feral little elf
JOEL AND LIZZY ARE HEREE!! i love how scar just gives people these silly nicknames. and cleo mention ahh she used to babysit scar?? that's. definitely interesting. plus mumbo being sooo petty HELP he takes his ties very seriously, don't insult them Ever
scar invited them to a sleepover at his place this time<3 he invited them to sleep in his home, in his own bed… yeah i'm normal about this . they are so domestic already and they aren't even dating yet
ohhh and if you would ever want more song recs that remind me of your series, i have some<3 you mentioned a playlist and i like making character playlists smile. it will come back by hozier is a very midnight!scar song. likeee your scar has the energy of a feral animal that's desperate for affection and once he gets some, he will always yearn for more. and that song has that kind of vibe. it's like saying "don't give me affection, don't care for me 'cause if you do, i might just stay with you forever and it will be the worst thing that happens to you. i'll keep coming back and i'll always want more so it's better not to love me at all". so very scar vibes. sorry i love talking about music :3
aand this ask got really long, i'm physically incapable of Not Rambling. gotta live up to the name essay anon huh .
Hii welcome back <3 I love coming home to your asks so in joy we are equally matched!
Yessss <3 Grian be like "how to ask him to be mine. Oh I know, I'll be Bird." Luckily Mumbo's sharp and noticed because a certain someone else definitely would not have picked up on that wrecking ball of a hint lmao. They are so possessive and I love it, they're equally matched in that regard and absolutely love that about each other <3 This possessive/jealous tendency of both of theirs might come back to bite them later on when they realize they love another person and don't know how to bring this up buuut <3 (Grian and Mumbo have one possessive partner, Scar gets two lmao but Scar loves it, he loves feeling wanted and seeing them get all weird possessive/jealous just absolutely is so- hh hjkkgdfslk)
I NEED MORE DAD!SCAR. Their relationship to each other is either chaotic and hilarious or tender and sweet, lemme tell ya there's a scene in my head with them that WILL make you cry. I know because I haven't even written it yet and it gets me tearing up <3 Mumbo </3 It might be a little late to coparent Tubbo, being that Tubbo's 19 now, but he will absolutely be an amazing second/third dad <3 And he may or may not become a dad to other kids later hjgfdkj
They took one look at his outfit and realized he's REALLY PRETTY when he's NOT wearing THAT, but you know the braid is nice, keep the braid- Oh gods yes, complimenting an Elf's hair is <3 <3 Also helps who the compliments came from ofc but <3 There are many compliments in Scar's future, he'll just have to get used to them <3 He absolutely is. They bring out the worst in each other but in the best way <3 they're both chaos gremlins and they double the chaos when they're together <3 Now accepting prayers for Mumbo and Scar <3
YES it's an extension of trust, a little contrast to a few stories ago when he divided his life in two and basically said they weren't part of this side of his life <3 He's letting them in to THIS SIDE of his life, the side of his life that has his magic shop and his son and his house full of plants and photographs and all the soft moments he's never let them see before and just AGH-
HE IS. He was serious when he said they'd start over, and he doesn't want to take any steps back because he cares so much <3 It's even better when you consider the fact that I insinuated in Midnight Ambush that accurate books about the Fae is hard to come by.... <3 He put EFFORT into finding the right books, like <3 Haha oh no, he certainly isn't <3 And he won't be the more obvious one for long-
YESSS I love history too I could listen to someone ramble passionately about the city they call home for hours <3 Grian and Mumbo can too but only because it's Scar speaking hjfdskj
She is the worst kind of Human smh, just a little reminder that the non-Supernatural world still exists and is just as full of bad as the Supernatural one <3 One of my favorite writing/movie tropes is OOC is Serious, I love when people switch gears and go dangerous scary when someone they care about is in danger <3 And that was just over someone grabbing Grian's wing, imagine if someone frikkin stabs him haha not like that's gonna happen right-
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH <3 Lizzie is a Chaos Gremlin too, she has absolutely embraced being Mrs. Beans <3 Scar will give everyone a nickname, no exceptions. Well, except Cleo, because reasons lmao. YEAH the Cleo thing will be explained more in the future but Cleo is like a reeaallly old Vampire, like she's older than Mumbo. I can't explain much more than that ofc without spoilers but haha I like irony- MUMBO IS PETTY he's wonderful lmaooo hjfd
More than that HE INVITED THEM IN HIS ROOM. After Mumbo had already told Grian how the Fae feel about their private spaces- Scar invited them to stay in his room <3 That's like one step away from just cuddling like- (jk jk BUT)
Send me any songs that make you think of Midnight Series in any way, shape or form, even if it's just one character in the tiniest bridge of the song <3 HJFSJKS Scar is absolutely affection-starved and has so many issues, he tried pushing Grian away at first but after he started accepting Grian's friendship/affection he couldn't stand to lose it <3 bbyy (this fact also going in hand with the fact that Scar loves feeling wanted by his partners and their jealousy/possessiveness/tendency to leave marks makes him way too happy for any healthily-adjusted adult. He doesn't even do it on purpose they're just Like That <3 they're all a little messed up but jhgfdkj)
It's okay I love the rambles~! <3 It gives me a chance to ramble, too, so! Haha <3 I love to read your essays, Anon <3

Wait for it (DreamSMP songfic)
C!Tommy and C! Wilbur !platonic !brother 
Pronouns: he/him 
*I skipped parts of the song, cause I couldn't make it fit the SMP or the oneshot* 
Trigger warnings: minor cursing, mentions of death, brief blood mention, brief blade mention 
Love doesn't discriminate, between the sinners, and the saints
The war for L'Manburg. It was tearing everyone apart, and people were choosing sides. You tried to stay out of it, but everyone has to chose sides eventually. You sided with Wilbur and Tommy. They were your brothers after all, choosing anyone else over them felt wrong. At this point time, it didn't matter if you were a saint or sinner you chose a side or you died no  between.
It takes, and it takes, and it takes 
Everything went to hell because Dream and Wilbur were acting like children. They couldn't just coexist in peace Dream had to start a war over nothing. Everyone was stealing from each other, robbing villages, and doing whatever they could to survive. You hated every second of it. 
And we keep loving anyway 
No matter how hard the fighting got, no matter how long the war went, on you could still count on Wilbur and Tommy.  You loved them, and that was what kept you going. The knowledge that no matter what happened you would have your brothers. 
We laugh and we cry, and we break
It seems like just yesterday you'd been with your brothers  trying to scam Tubbo out of blaze rods. Now you were sitting here with a sword by your side, trying to calm your mind, praying that everything would go back to normal. Even though deep down, you knew this was the new normal. 
And we make our mistakes 
You'd made the mistake choosing to trust Eret. I love you had trusting him was the worst mistake anyone could have made he betrayed L'Manburg. But worse than that he betrayed you and you were the type of person to trust a little too easily. 
And if there's a reason I'm by his side
Wilbur had chosen you to be his right hand man, or so the saying goes. You weren't quite sure why, especially when Tubbo or Tommy would be better suited. But he chose you and you can really complain it was great you loved getting to be with Wilbur. But it didn't leave much time for you and Tommy. 
When so many have tried 
So many people have tried to get close to Wilbur and maybe it was because the two of you were related, but you and him clicked. You both stood up for what you believed in, and you both trusted too easily. You both tried to see the good in people, but you could both hold a grudge. 
Then I'm willing to wait for it 
You were willing to wait. Didn't really matter for what. Find out why you were Wilbur's right hand ma, to find out why I dream couldn't let L'Manburg be, to find out anything that you wanted to know.
My father was a genius 
Philza. Your father you'd  taking after him in several ways including having wings. He was a strategy genius, you always knew the right ways to find out the enemy's weakness and how to take them down. 
My brother commanded respect 
Technoblade. Your brother he was amazing he'd been exiled, but he can back he's been living with you for several months. He was a god, and people feared him and respected him out of fear. People knew that if they disrespected him it wouldn't end well. 
When they ran, they left no instructions
Philza had taken Techno and ran with him. But they hadn't left instructions on how to live without them. It's been hard at first but with Wilbur and Tommy, the three of you made it work. 
Just a legacy to protect 
You, Wilbur and Tommy had made a pact to protect your dad's legacy. He had been a great strategist and all of you thrived to live up to.
​​[time skip a few weeks] 
Death doesn't discriminate, between the sinner and the saints 
Wilbur was dead. Phil had killed him per his request. Philza had said that Wilbur begged for it. You had fallen to your knees as sobs wracked your body. You hadn't been able to sleep for weeks. You were somehow in a worse state than Tommy. You and Tommy had grown closer than ever, bonding over the death of your brother. 
It takes and it takes and it takes 
You and Tommy both agreed to do whatever it would take to get Wilbur back. Death had taken Wilbur all to soon. Sure, you guys had Ghostbur, but it wasn't the same. He didn't remember either of you. 
Tommy's pov: 
I couldn't sleep. Not sure if it was insomnia or the fact that I was still missing Wilbur. I heard a soft knock on my door. It was the special knock that Y/N, Wilbur and I had used. *thump-thump....thump-thump*  I opened the door and saw Y/N standing there, with bags prominent under his eyes. 
I invited him and we talked late into the night about the war and L'Manburg and Wilbur. 
"Do you ever with you were with Wil?" 
"All the time, Tommy" 
"We keep living anyway" 
~~~skip a week~~~
Narrators pov: 
We rise and we fall 
The remainders of L'Manburg were not giving up a fight. Jschlatt might have convinced Tubbo to join his side, but the rest of you weren't giving up. 
We break 
You had cuts and bruises all along your body, in parts where your armor didn't quite cover. You kept going. You glanced over at Tommy and saw that he was in significantly worse shape than you. You were losing blood through the open arrow wounds on your shoulder and side. You were near blinded by the blood dripping onto your face from a blow to the head. Sapnap wasn't giving up, he was determined to make you fall. Back against a wall, beaten and bloody, we allowed yourself to surrender. 
And we make our mistakes 
Big mistake. Sapnap held you against the wall until Dream walked over and held a netherite dagger in his hand. The blade had a dangerous curve, and you could tell he was wanting to use it. He trailed it down your face, before swinging it down and leaving a scar that trailed from your right eyebrow to your left jaw bone. 
"A reminder of what happens when you mess with me" 
​​​​​​Tommy's pov: 
I sprinted through the battlefield searching for Y/N, I had to find him. He was all I had left. I saw a figure hunched over on the ground and began sprinting faster. I slid down next to them, and gasped softly. It was Y/N, he had a long cut down his face. I reached out and bruises my hand against it softly. 
"Who?"
"Dream"
My face heated up in anger, and I felt my fists clench. Dream was so dead if I got my hands in him. 
Y/N mumbled something under his breath. 
"What?" 
"if there's a reason I'm still alive, when brother who loved me has died, in willing to wait for it" 
Y/N pov: 
I stood in front of the mirror, and traced the scar on my face. The day I had it gotten fresh in my head. I had stopped craving my revenge long ago. I knew that it would never solve anything. It had been months since the battle, and Tommy would still wake up screaming in panic. 
Today was our last chance. We were trying one more time to bring Wilbur back to life. I hoped it would work. 
"I am the one thing in life I can control" 
I reminded my self. 
Ghostbur/Wilbur's pov: 
I was just floating around hanging out with Friend, when I felt a force pulling me. It almost hurt, but I couldn't fight it and let it pull me. 
I opened my eyes, and immediate confusion came over me. I knew I was in a house, but it wasn't mine. I heard a soft voice whisper my name. I turned around and saw my brothers. They both had tears in their eyes, but Y/N looked more relieved. I took a shaky step forward and was pulled into a tight hug.  
I stepped back and my eyes softened seeing Y/N's scar. 
"Who di-" 
"Dream, but it's fine" 
I wanted to be angry but I was to happy fully care, I could be with my brothers again. I stepped over to a mirror that was slightly cracked, and realized I looked different. My hair had white in it now, just a bit at the front and my eyes were slightly more red than before. 
"I am imitable, I am an original" 
It felt good to be alive again, I turned back to my brother's. 
"Take me on a tour of the SMP?" 
 Tommy's pov: 
We took Wilbur on a tour of the SMP since it was bigger now than it was before. I had started hearing voices in my head, Dreams specifically. He wouldn't leave me alone. 
"So, Tommy, when are you coming for me? Or are you standing still so you don't scare Y/N?" 
"I'm not falling behind or running late, I'm not standingg still, I am lying in wait" 
"Wilbur faces this endless uphill climb"
"Wilbur has something to prove, he has something to lose" 
"Wilbur's pace is relentless he wastes no time
I didn't notice that I was mumbling until Y/N stopped and stared at me, confusion written across his features. 
"You ok, Tom?" 
"Yea, yea, I'm fine, let's go" 
Narrators pov: 
Dream doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint 
Dream was a being that you shouldn't mess with. He was know for not hesitating and show no mercy. 
He takes and he takes and he takes 
All Dream had done was take from SMP, ever since L'Manburg, he had gotten worse. 
And he keeps winning anyway 
Everyone idolized Dream, well, everyone who wasn't part of L'Manburg. In their eyes he could do no wrong. 
He changes the game, plays and he raises the stakes
Everything seemed to be based on what Dream wants and what Dream needs. It wasn't fair, the worst part was that he always got away with everything he did. 
And there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive
No matter who died, no matter how, Dream thrived. He always seemed to thrive. It was like he survived on the chaos and death. 
Then goddammit I'm willing to wait for it 
You would wait for as long as it takes, to understand why everything was the it was. To understand why it was such chaos and destruction.

1 & 4 for the ask game :> -Tubbo
OhMyGoshWeHaveAnAsk
This legit has never happened before
Thank you so much!!
1. Do you have an inner world? If yes, is it something that you consciously made? What is your inner world like?
Yeah, we have one. It's always sorta been there, but ig it's kinda odd compared to other systems?? I (The host, Alex) can't seem to leave front at all, so I've actually never been there
Lucas, my co-host tells me it's kinda like a house, but with zero walls. Kinda like when you're playing Sims and you don't have enough money to get a house, so everything gets dumped together in roomish-clusters
The most that I (Alex) can see of it is the black void that is the front area. If I'm really dissossciaty then I can go to the back 'wall' and look kinda upish, like it's a platform made of tupperware and see blurred shapes that are alters and furniture
Only I can't climb the 'wall' to actually get there, which is slightly disappointing..
Oh, and there's a huge tree. It's Record's. They aren't mentioned on here (Shy), but he wanted a mention for his tree
Anyway, I really hope that was clear. It's kinda hard to explain. It's got a bit of dream logic going on.
4. How do you experience communication between parts?
Tbh, I'm not sure how to answer this one.
I have a lot trouble telling alters apart from my thoughts, so we do a lot of writing if we want to talk to each other. Everyone has a different color and when they want to say something they are supposed to ask me to switch colors first as that's notably different from my normal thought process.
Of course this works better with some alters than others, but that's how I communicate most of the time
I think the writing also helps people to remember to talk clearly and one at a time cause we've had some issues with that too..
Anyway, imma end it there.
Thanks again for the ask! I had a lot of fun answering! Hope it all makes sense cause I think it got rambly in there somewhere..
-Alex
