Hii! What would it be like (as is what would mcyts tweet) if you came out as ftm trans?

karl, wilbur and tommy tweeting about ftm trans!reader

⋆｡˚ summary: when their friend and fellow streamer comes out on social media, karl, wilbur and tommy decide to show their support

⋆｡˚ including: cc!karl, cc!wilbur and cc!tommy

⋆｡˚ warnings: reader uses he/him pronouns, reader is trans ftm (female to male)

⋆｡˚ note: this was a bit shorter because I'm pretty busy at the moment but I hope y'all still like it

Karl

Karl wasn’t surprised in the slightest when you came out on your twitter, finally showing off who you truly were

he’d been going back and forth with you over the past few days about the topic, trying to offer support and calm our nerves over the life changing moment of coming out

he had even stayed up with you the night before you posted, drafting, redrafting, checking grammar and carefully choosing each and every word

quickly unlocking his phone and pulling up your tweet, he was ecstatic to see the throngs of people expressing their support in comments

��I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU’RE THE BRAVEST PERSON I KNOW!!! <3”

the capitalization, excessive number of exclamation points, as well as the emojis he tacked on after his original reply were his way of lifting your mood through an undoubtedly exhausting time

still, if the way you liked every picture he put up of him and you, in your new haircut and clothes, he was pretty sure you felt on top of the world

Wilbur

Wilbur had been anticipating your tweet, with you having come out to him earlier in the month

he had no trouble using your preferred pronouns and respected your desire to keep it from the public until you felt comfortable

during streams, he simply referred to you by your stream handle and didn’t tolerate any comments from chat that could cause you to feel uncomfortable

but here you were, sharing everything you had discovered about yourself with your fanbase and hoping for an understanding response

despite all the love from your followers, he was sure you were wracked with nerves and made a mental note to check up on you when everything had settled

being able to finally use the name he’d been calling you in private for months felt liberating and he couldn’t help but join in with the masses supporting you

“You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met and if you ever need some fashion advice man to man, I’ll be waiting to pick a fit for you”

you would, of course, respond with pictures of Quackity in a green beret and blue jacket, along with a teasing “I think I’m good”

Tommy

Tommy’s inconsistent use of twitter meant he missed your original coming out tweet, something he still denies to this day

only when the few people he has notifications on for began retweeting and responding to you did he realize what he had missed

his notifications were blown up by a well-meaning Tubbo and a very sarcastic Ranboo telling him to get off his ass and use his crazy personality to show his undying support

he was frantic to make any and all comments about how proud he was, even going as far as to respond on every single alt account he’d ever created

every frenzied retweet read like that of a tween from the early 2010’s, wrought with spelling errors and incomprehensible hashtags

“YOUER MY FAV BROTHER BUT SONT TELL WIL #WELCOMETOTHEBOYS”

the next day, you got a call from Tommy asking if he should do a “getting a tattoo with my brothers” video, to which you threatened to tell Wilbur about until he gave up

So, I feel like after watching clips from Phil and Niki's recent stream, I kind of want to talk about this too

This comes from someone who's been in the fandom since October 2021, so I might not be a "veteran" like the rest who joined in 2020, just keep that in mind

On that note, Phil and Niki talked about not being in Season 2 of the DSMP. Mostly because forgetting everything that happened, especially regarding Techno, it's just not easy. And their feelings are 100% valid, it's their choice and we, as fans, need to obviously respect it.

What I don't like is the fact that people are so quick to blame it all on Dream and Tommy, without putting themselves in his place.

If the server kept on going as it was, things would've gotten boring and repetitive very quickly. If they had gone with the "C!Dream is forgiven, now we can all be friends" ending, people would have complained about it being unrealistic and bad writing.

And I get it, forgetting everything is just too much especially when it comes to things related to Techno, but again, how else would they move on with the story?

I'll respect everyone's opinion on this matter, if anybody wants to talk or comment about it, but for the love of god stop blaming everything on Dream and Tommy.

Dream has literally the whole world on his shoulder because the SMP is named after him. If it got boring, y'all would've blamed him too right?

Also to the people blaming everything on Dream, especially regarding C!Tommy's ending, may I remind you that his ending and the SMP's finale was written by Tommy. Tubbo even said it himself that he was proud of Tommy for doing so

Keep in mind that everyone has thwir own way of grieving. Phil and Niki may not be able to continue on the server because of it, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the DSMP has to do so.

If anybody wants to leave the fandom cause it doesn't feel the same or season 2 just doesn't interest them, then they're completely free to leave. But stop using the "finale" and Techno's death as a reason to hate on Dream or Tommy, just so they can have leave happily.

So. AGES ago, the possibility of mock execution as a torture method came up in an ask. And with JMAH opening up so many fun new possibilities, I'm wondering about it again.

On the one hand, Sam is so - as you say - earnest about everything he does, and his particular complex around Dream is so obviously reliant on him keeping Dream alive at all costs, that I don't think he would be able to premeditate a deception that extreme. It's so contrary to his entire purpose as the Warden that it couldn't possibly work. Or, it would only work once, and then their entire routine will be thrown off. So no.

On the other hand, in a tense moment, if he's frustrated and tired and Dream is shivering on the ground but he won't just obey... perhaps he makes him wait. Perhaps a little fright would do him some good. Perhaps a little reminder of just who he has to thank for his continued survival, and how easily that undeserved privilege can be relinquished, to teach him a little bit of gratitude.

Besides, JMAH!Sam knows that the disc finale was at least partly staged. Isn't a mock execution exactly what Dream did when he wanted to make Tommy beg and plead to spare Tubbo's life? It's only justice if it makes him understand what it feels like, right? (He doesn't want to think too deeply about that parallel. He's not the same as Dream. He's not.)

/dsmp /rp

Nonny, I admire your memory and I love the way you think :)

First of all, I think it’s within Sam’s wheelhouse to intentionally use a mock execution. It’s an excellent method to cause terror without actually doing any ~harm~ (it’s not REAL torture, is it? No, Sam assures himself, of course not). As you say, the existence of the finale—even if it wasn’t staged, even just the fact that Dream seemed to try to kill Tubbo—is ample justification. I think that’s enough to give Sam his requisite earnestness (you did this to him, Dream, I’m just repeating threats YOU made).

But even more than that! The wonderful beauty of Sam with respect to mock executions is that he’s so damn undecided about what he wants to do with Dream, in the end.

A very large part of him wants, explicitly, to hold Dream down and kill him. It’s a fantasy (and a duty). A very large part of him wants, explicitly, to keep Dream alive and imprisoned. It’s a duty (and a fantasy). The layers of Sam’s wants and the things he thinks of as wants versus the things he thinks of as obligations and necessities are messy and complicated and repressed. These things are at war every time he lets in Quackity, every time he asked Dream for information in the first timeline, and in everything he does to Dream in JMAH.

So it’s completely conceivable to me that, not only could Sam levy a mock execution at Dream intentionally, he could do it on accident. It could be in a moment when he’s absolutely furious or in a moment where he’s completely cold, and he could come right in to Dream’s cell, and Dream is sure he’s about to die.

Maybe Sam is silent, and the silence terrifies him. Or maybe Sam says, this is it, I’m finished, you’re done, if you don’t give me the book, I’m going to kill you.

Maybe I will tell Quackity. Maybe the next person who comes into this cell will be me. All with that same energy, only moreso. And in the end, for Sam, it is just a passing, impossible want. He wants Dream alive more than he wants him dead, and Dream knows this (he has to have faith in this, because what else can he believe?)

This is a test of that faith. The pain and the terror don’t care about Dream’s rationalizations.

#au: just me and him #c!dream and c!sam #torture.

The main argument starts out as Tubbo ‘the Pythia still being alive’ underscore vs. Tommy ‘we’re not killing him over our mistake’ innit. And I say starts, because it ends very differently. It’s important to note that Tubbo doesn’t bring up killing the Pythia to the other Deathlings. There’s a difference between saying it to Tommy, who is violently against it, and saying it with everyone present, when there’s weight to those words as something that can actually happen.

Also, I love Aimsey, they are such a loyal friend, but they clearly did not know why Tommy was acting differently towards their friend group. Hint it was Tubbo suggesting they kill the Pythia. Aimsey clearly didn’t know about this given how they reacted to Sam finally saying it out loud. Then there’s Ranboo, who has no spine or opinion. On the other side we have Jack and Niki, who like Tommy are of the [“We’re not monsters, Sam!”] and [“That doesn’t bloody well mean we have to prove them right!”] opinion.

The main difference is that Jack and Niki have interested a lot more with Wukbhr and have seen his more human sides. Aimsey and Ranboo haven’t had that, ever if they can see the clear fear underneath. That’s what most of this boils down to, the more they have interacted with the Pythia, the more they are against killing him.

Now for a bit of dynamics. I feel like Tommy, Jack, Niki, Tubbo, Aimsey and Ranboo are all equals in the conversation. (Actually, scratch that Ranboo, like Wilbur, is barely in the conversation at all.) This means that when Tommy decides to brush Tubbo off, he can end the conversation. Sam and Ponk have more authority. They are older (I think). So when they say they want to have this conversation, there’s not much Tommy can do. He can’t tell them no, he can only ask. This might also be strength in numbers though.

Then when Phil and Techno walk in it’s clear who holds the power amongst the Deathlings. I think Techno and Phil think that Sam was trying to pull something behind their back. Maybe? There’s definitely hints at past off screen conversations between to Deathlings. (or lack thereof). Also, both Sam and Tubbo quickly turn into guilty children who got caught, gine is the confidence. Ponk speaks up during this, they now have my respect.

And I’m out of time, but I’ll be back because I’m not done.

(2/2)

-🌲

yupppp glad you noticed the difference between how tubbo wants to handle it vs what ends up happening. tubbo only wanted to bring it up to tommy. as much as he's pushing for it, he's not aggressively trying to get the pythia killed right now. he just wants to talk about it as an option.

yeah aimsey had no clue that anything happened between tubbo and tommy before. they really didn't know what tubbo's thoughts were at all and they're NOT in support of killing the pythia. they just try to stop the fight when it starts to escalate into something more. ranboo of course has no spine and is just there. niki and jack meanwhile have gotten to know the pythia and don't want him to be killed at all, because it's a lot harder to kill someone when you're actually friends with them or at least something close to it compared to a near stranger.

yes sam and ponk are both older than most of the group. most of the deathlings in the room are in their late teens to early twenties (before phil and techno show up), while ponk is in their late twenties, and sam is in his early to mid thirties. they have seniority over the younger members, so when sam decides to keep the conversation going, they kind of have to. there's no strict hierarchy in the deathlings though outside of phil and techno being leaders. sam and ponk just have the age seniority but no real authority over the younger members.

it's not necessarily that phil and techno thought sam was trying to pull something behind their backs. they just don't like the idea of a conversation this serious happening without them around because this involves all of the deathlings. of course though, sam is more spineless than he seems, and cowers the second the two show up along with tubbo.

fic masterlist !

feel free to request something from me! i looove writing, i mostly main connor and quackity !, but tbh if i do research i will write anyone <3

quackitys closure - quackity travels in time with karl, but something goes a little funky. he tries to go along with it but eventually sees a familiar face

am i really that bad? - the dealer and mr. mask are neck and neck villain and superhero !!! they are arch enemies !! meanwhile, quackity and dream are best friends that Love to cause chaos <3

loving is easy when everything's perfect - quackity runs a museum with his fiances (karl and sapnap), and tubbo likes to visit him and they hang out and they are just very happy

i hope we both die - There was nothing left to do. Las Nevadas had finally fallen apart. The team was gone and people fully evacuated. It didn’t matter how many times Quackity assured them it was safe, and Dream would never get them, they didn’t listen. Nobody listened. So there he sat. In his office, in his country that he tried so hard to keep together. In his country he formed out of heartbreak, and grief, and loss. In his country that was doomed from the beginning. Just like Quackity, everything was doomed for him.

i loved you then and i loved you now - connor, for the first time since they met, shares with schlatt about his gender and asks him for help

close your eyes, so afraid. hide behind that baby face - dream was given peony when he was 14 years old from a godly figure. he was given no explanation, though he was promised shed be taken back. its hard, being 14 and raising a daughter, but it gets better. thats what phil promised him.

happy times together we've been spending. i wish every kiss was never ending. - dia de los muertos. a day to celebrate the dead. to celebrate the lives of those who were once there, and enjoying that they eisted to begin with. quackity used to love the holiday season, but now it were spent alone. it was spent doing work for his nation. he didn't do anything for most part, other than dia de los mertos. a tradition taken from his mom, to show respect. what a life.

let me take this coat and this weight off of your shoulders - tubbo doesn't want to be a villain. he hates being a villain. but he's there for tommy. he's always there for his best friend. and tommy promised that he'll fix everything.

you've got my whole world in your hands, got that little blue spot - again and again, connor dies. he's finished up in a world, he's played his entire course. each time he dies, he fails, he meets xd. and has to look them in the eyes. for once, they don't look at him with anger. instead, for once, they look at him with kindness.

i need you now, i love you so much, more than you could know - the sbi throw a holiday party!! (so many people are attending ....)

i try so hard to be so happy, are you happy too? - an apocalypse caused by the revival of people! schlatt and wilbur stick together because of their history. connor eventually joins them because hes immune. connor thinks they need a little bit of holiday spirit ! :)

no, i dont care about anything at all. but i still stop and stare everytime that you call - connor and schlatt have a little talk

vvv LATEST FIC vvv

im starving, darling. let me put my lips on something - schlatt hates bad jokes, but thats all connor can do. how is he gonna get out of this one ?!

Oh god Ranboo. Why did he take that necklace thingie. Oh shit oh fuck. I wonder what it's going to do, since I really doubt Dream was being very slash genuine. I'm wondering if whatever is going to happen is going to parallel enderwalking in canon. Also- his parents are dead lol

I'm very curious about the soul thing, Tommy said it didn't work, but Dream seems to be experiencing some kind of extreme guilt, so maybe he is just very good at hiding it? I love that he's regarded as one of the most sadistic vampires, but now he has some type of conscience (not that it's stopping him). He really needs to let his conscience be his guide.

I love flirty karlnapity so much-

I feel bad for Wilbur, even though he seems entirely selfish. Because like Quackity Analysis anon pointed out, it's because he never had a chance to care about himself. He was never allowed to before because he had to focus on something that he doesn't want to do. He lost his entire child hood because he was devoting it to something he was forced into.

The dadschlatt situation also sucks because he seems to care about Tubbo, but bros got problems

It's so smart showing us Dream as sopping wet pathetic cat before telling us he has done many, many fucked up crimes. He has pushed Tommy further than his wits end and will continue to push. Very cute of George to try and get Dream to ask Tommy to undo the curse, I guess he means in a psuedo-menacing way? Like "we will continue to make your life hell unless you undo the curse"? But even then, that would just reveal that it has, in fact, worked. Plus- Tommy seems to already think suicide is a better alternative so like... he probably wouldn't do it. Besides, what else does he have left to live for really? (Htid!Karl lmao) All of his family is dead, his friends, acquaintances probably too. Death has followed him like a plague for years.

Anyways, these were just some thoughts I had after finally catching up on Bite Me. I'm really into it now that I've gotten into the groove of reading it :))

Ps. I know you're concerned abt me and Quackity Analysis anon but like... they're so desirable.. (Also I don't mind getting called brother or girl or whatever, I'm nb ^^)

-Wilbur Semi Defender anon

See, Ranboo's just a wee bit gullible and I don't think he fully grasps just how evil Dream (probably) is

lol, Dream is one of the most sadistic vampires, he's just plagued by nightmares now and also refuses to eat

we love karlnapitybur, surely nothing bad will come of it

Wilbur may be a brat, but he's kinda justified....

Dad Schlatt... hmm.......

Dream is a pathetic wet cat!! unfortunately he is soaked in the blood of the innocent instead of water. George and Punz don't actually know what the curse does, they just know Dream has been acting weird, rip

Also mega rip to Tommy, but that's pretty much a given

(And listen, I understand that quackity analysis anon has a very sexy big brain and fashionable sunglasses, but you gotta have some self-respect bro)

I KNOW it was probably very bad for their health and that Ranboo really shouldn't be pushing themself but that chapter of drdi where they just go out and get through the day by themself was for some reason so very satisfying to me. Maybe it's the contrast to how Tubbo treated them and how passive they were, but it feels like Ranboo finally got back some of the spark he had at the beginning and lost during the breakdown months (Obviously they deserve support and to not to have do everything by themself, but after how suffocating and overbearing Tubbo was, this sort of feels like the better option)

oooh i LOVE this ask because that is definitely a huge part of the chapter!! at the start of that chapter ranboo had the "i can do this with no help and that is how i will prove myself" mindset and at the end he says "even when I do need help with— with everything, I’m still a person" (chapter 12, leafcabbage). which is the realization that ultimately needs to happen. its not that he doesnt need help and needs to do everything alone, it's that he needs to be helped by people who treat him with respect and the understanding that he is his own person, and who encourage him to do the things he wants to do/can do on his own without forcing constant assistance. at the beginning of ycssg, ranboo was incredibly independent to his own detriment, he forced himself to be, he was neglected and emotionally abused for years, and to get himself out of that situation he had to fully sacrifice his mental and physical health, and he comes into SPU thinking that, not only can he continue that, but that this is where it’s supposed to pay off. he’s finally fully independent, with no lorraine and a fresh start. he obviously is immediately thrown into a new horrible situation, and that does a fucking number on his mental and physical health again and fucking crushes any hope he had. this chapter though is where you get the same stubbornness that got him to SPU back. it’s not about him being suddenly physically capable of pushing himself, it’s about him having the same drive to get himself out of a shitty situation again. does that mean he makes the healthy decision for himself? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! but it IS what leads to his ultimate realization that he deserves better.

RANBOO ISNT A PASSIVE PERSON!! he has LEARNED to be, he has found that the best way to deal with people like his former teachers and lorraine and dream and dr. walker and professor cox is to be quiet and take it. he has been taught time and time again that he should keep his head down, people please, and keep working, keep moving forward. that’s what he learned in 11:11 and that’s what he will never let go of, that the most important thing to do is keep working toward something. he has yet to find his time when he can finally set that down, finally fully rest, and so he wont. but at his heart, ranboo is fucking stubborn and kind of judgemental (see: him being like “yikes dont wanna stick around for this” with dream) and funny and is capable of giving as good as he gets but he DOESNT! i could go crazy insane about this guy, i love him so much.

im SO sorry i went way off base with what your actual ask was, i just!!! have so much to say. in my view of it, that chapter isnt satisfying because ranboo pushes themself too far and does the physically unhealthy thing, it is satisfying because they are finding who they are again. they are stepping out of that passive persona, and starting to move forward in a better way than before.

THANK YOU so much for this ask! hope youre well!!

#sorry this took so long to reply to i was halfway through then had to stream then had to get back on a roll #cabbage answers #fic asks #kissantassuset

hello!!! this is the same tired annon from before (who also has a bland pallet and sent an ask earlier today)

this might be my last ask sent considering i just got caught up on cough syrup but who knows i might get attached!

okay so for starters i’m here to say holy crap i love how you write tommy and i keep forgetting to say that! you do him more than justice, you do his character like double justice. (now i’m wondering what double justice would look like in the justice system…. probably lots of paperwork)

next i’m here to say holy moly macaroni you write dream so well. (i just realized i haven’t put !cs before things so i’m doing that now. i’m a bit tired and stuff so whejsmshfjd) cs!dream gives me the heeby jeebies and i literally wanted to shake cs!ranboo by the shoulders the entire time he was interacting with cs!dream but i was also like hashtag relatable so oh well! you’ve just done the whole dynamic really well! (i know its not much but the fact that cs!dream was planting the ideas of “i’m your only friend/your friends want to hurt you” thoughts into cs!ranboo’s brain was an excellent touch! it was something i’ve learned about in a class about abusers and stuff and how they try and isolate people and yea c!dream did this so idk maybe i’m making a big deal out of nothing but. i thought you wrote it really well! like really well)

can you tell words are not my friend because oh boy they’re not

and of course how could i write this without mentioning cs!fundy! you wrote him so well and i’m intrigued by his character! i also really like how you wrote his dialogue while being all panicked! very nice to see that kind of stuttering written so well!

i also want you to know that, often, i find when you’ve said you feel like you’ve written something not well, you’ve actually done a real suburb job! maybe i’m not the best judge as i’m not much of a writer myself, but i feel like you don’t give yourself enough credit! you’re doing wonderful work here

and some final notes

-i’m in love with the pets and their inclination of the story! am i biased cause there was a cat sitting on my lap while i read the majority of cough syrup? yea, maybe… but hey i still really have enjoyed the pets!

-loving the trans rep

-i adore how tubbo will try and prompt ranboo to ramble on things! it’s so sweet and also i think it’s good for each of them in respective ways

Something interesting is that every instance of c!Dream doing something shitty to others has been framed as either 1) reactive, 2) preventative, or 3) consequentialist (Ends-Justify-The-Means). Basically nothing is framed as sadistic, and even his vengeful actions always come with something else tied to it (Quackity needs to be too scared to come after him again, Sam needs a canon death so that nobody else tries to “fuck with [him]” again, etc.). Hell, even moments like Tommy’s third death in Pandora were immediately preceded by a blinding rage that made him lash out in a way that is entirely human and I’d probably do the same thing (in that case it was Tommy 1) physically attacking him and 2) murdering the cat explicitly because Dream said he loved her) (also he revived him a day later and then proceeded to share his very limited food supply until Sam finally got around to letting Tommy out).

Exile was largely a mix of a reaction to Tommy’s antagonism and a prevention from him getting in his way as he got his disk from Tubbo in preparation for the Staged Finale, Doomsday was both a step in his plan to help paint him as a villain to the server and a reaction to L’Manberg completely ruining his original Big Happy Family a la the introduction of by-the-book nationalism (thanks, c!Wilbur), what he did to Lazarbeam and Vikk was consequentialism at its most extreme, etc.

Dream’s main flaw has always been overestimation. This extends to how he views natural human endurance (Pandora (self) and Exile (Tommy) ), what he thinks is an acceptable trade (traumatizing ClingyDuo in exchange for keeping up the charade, killing himself and Punz over and over and over and over —) and even how he views other people’s moral compass (he trusted Sam to be fair and kind even if Sam hated him, he believed that Tommy would not go after him post-prison as long as the Disc Fight had concluded, he was completely blindsided by the idea of Quackity torturing him, etc.) In short, he is an absolute moron when it comes to “reasonable expectations.”

(Seriously, with how fucked up his sense of “acceptable” is, I really wouldn’t be shocked if he thought that Exile was just an annoying two weeks on an island that Tommy was being dramatic about. Just look at what he deemed “alright” during the construction of Pandora’s Vault, like Jesus Christ man.)

i lovvveeee how much you pay attention toooo 🙌🏼 his character is so heckin interesting it’s insane. i don’t have much to add but i am nodding my head vigorously in thought

(discussed below anyway)

🦙🦙🦙…

the stuff you pointed out about him not being able to manipulate people as effectively as wilbur in the other ask is such an interesting point. he managed to find only one technique that allowed him to hold some reins over tommy and the other server members,, and that was controlling them through fear. but the only reason he was doing that was because he was scared himself.

i still find it so cool to loook at his choice of people that he saw as soon as he got out of prison. like he straight away went back and ensured that people still feared him (i bet he mistook fear for respect,, or saw them as achieving the same results, but he could control fear easier). but then you also pointed out that he might not have even meant to run into tommy in the exile island? i just think his first instinct when interaction is to lash out, in fear that others will do so first. and it’s easier to convince people to be scared or wary of you than to respect you (that’s what i feel he found anyway)

he’s really cool :(

Opinion on whether or not c!beeduo will ever be mentioned again by the cc's in question or if it will actually get a little bit of an ending. I have a bad feeling that it has died dead and will never live again. But I am open (nay, willing and hoping) to be convinced otherwise. 🌻

god idk. like tbh if they didn't bring it up again i'd be like, well that sucks but whatever. it would comparatively suck more for c!tubbo's arc i'd say? if only bc he's kinda been defined by loss and grief for a long time, so if he didn't get some kind of resolution for that grief it would just? idk. like i'll gladly take c!clingy finale 2 electric boogaloo, because i do love me some c!clingy, but yeah.

as for c!ranboo, based on what mister live has talked about it seems like his finale is gonna be about solving the unsolved mysteries and answering the unanswered questions surrounding his character, and tbh i am 100% okay with that, like he's got way more shit outside of c!tubbo to deal with that i think it would be apt for him to focus on that. i mean sure i would LOVE a c!beeduo confrontation to be involved somewhere in there but it's much lower down the list of Requirements For A Satisfying Conclusion for c!ranboo than it is for c!tubbo imo?

my worst nightmare, however, is that they do their own respective conclusions and then come together just long enough to shoehorn in a zero-effort ""happy ending"" just for the sake of it, like i cannot emphasize enough that i would INFINITELY prefer they never talk to each other again than have that happen.

Little Hope

(Platonic SBI Famliy x child reader)

Request 6: An imagine or Drabble about sbi family x reader where the reader is the newest adoptee to the family and it turns out they sleepwalk! They do random things like moving stuff around, talking to empty air, and can sometimes end up waking up nowhere near their bed. Just harmless shenanigans that might be spooky at first but are ultimately funny and endearing in a way.

Requested By: @0melodydrifter0

When Phil brought home a little girl wrapped in a blanket Wilbur was pissed, another child his father had adopted that Phil couldn’t take care of, another child that would end up being his and Techno’s duty to raise. However, something was different in his father’s eyes as he held the young girl close to his chest,

“Dad?” Wilbur murmured an eyebrow raised suspiciously high on his head, “What’s that?” He watched his father wince a little cradling the toddler closer to him,

“Wilbur...this is (Y/n). She’s going to be your new little sister.” Wilbur grits his teeth and felt rage flood through his veins again, not at the little one, no he couldn’t blame the child for his father’s savior complex. “An old friend of mine village was raided, he asked for my help but by the time I got there everyone was dead, everyone except her.” Phil moved some stray hair out from the kid’s eyes, “I couldn’t leave her for dead Wilbur.” Wilbur’s face softened a little bit, now wasn’t the time to argue with his father, especially since he had just lost a friend.

“Could I...see her?” He asked hesitantly as Phil knelt down beside one of his eldest, Wilbur noted the girl had flecks of (h/c) hair on her forehead, her face was covered in soot and ash, he noted she had the brightest (e/c) eyes he’s ever seen. She was quiet, very different from Tommy already, she reached up and touched the side of Wilbur’s cheek with a pudgy hand. The boy was done for after that, vowing up and down that he’d be the best big brother in the world to her even if it killed him.

Much better than Tommy and Techno too.

Speaking of the first time Tommy and Techno met you it was quite the experience. Tommy basked in the fact of no longer being the youngest member of the family and Techno was quick to remind him the being the middle child was far worse. Tommy had called him a bitch and Phil told him not to curse in front of his sister which he huffed at, swearing to Phil that her first word would be fuck.

He got hit on the back of his head for that comment.

Technoblade was indifferent about that situation, saying orphans were cringe and that you smelled bad, Wilbur was okay with both of these outcomes. As he stated earlier he was going to be the favorite brother whether you knew it or not.

By the time you were ten years old Wilbur’s wish had come true, you stuck by his side and were a quiet staple in his life. He also spoiled you rotten, he made you songs and snuck you cookies when Phil wasn’t looking, he’d do anything to see that smile a smile on your face. However, much to his displeasure it seemed that both Technoblade and Tommy were encroaching on his little happy bubble with his sister.

It started with Technoblade, he noticed you following him around more often than not. At first, the hybrid was annoyed, he’d lock you out of his room and force you away by threatening to cut off your fingers if you didn’t leave him alone. However, that only made you cry and it made Techno panic if Phil heard you crying he’d be a dead man, and if Wilbur heard he’d be double dead. He began to try to hush you frantically, you didn’t calm down until he stated he would hang out with you a little longer. It shut you up immediately, oh you were a sneaky little shit, he could respect that. He decided he read to you if that was alright, you nodded eagerly, and he carried you into his room. You were a kid of few words and Technoblade could respect that, he pulled out a story about some of the ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses. Figuring the Art of War was probably too much for a ten-year-old, surprisingly he enjoyed himself. You were eager to learn and enjoyed the stories way more than he thought you would, okay maybe you bonded just a little. He had taken to calling you Moirai the greek goddess of destiny, not only that but Technoblade had started bringing you gifts from his adventures, something he never did for anyone else.

Therefore Wilbur was feeling VERY threatened and Technoblade LOVED it.

However, while the both of them were having their little pissing contest they didn’t notice their younger brother swooping in to join the fight for your attention. As the eldest were at war with themselves, Tommy had taken to sneaking you out of the house to cause trouble by his side. After all, no sister of his was going to be boring like Wilbur and Technoblade, she was going to be as awesome as he was if he had anything to say about it. So when he snuck you out one night against their wishes when they were too busy to notice he decided to take full advantage of that opportunity. He adored hearing your enthusiastic giggles as he tore through the forest with you on his shoulders.

You were typically a very quiet child, so to hear you laugh because of him made Tommy preen with delight. Your fingers were twisted in his blonde locks as you steered him like a horse, it hurt like hell but so long as it kept you steady he really didn’t mind.

The joy didn’t last long because Wilbur and Technoblade had found them not soon after he escaped their clutches. Techno plucked you off his shoulders and held you in his arms, you let out a little whine of disappointment and Tommy frowned,

“Oh come on Technoblade don’t be an asshole!”

“Don’t curse in front of (Y/n), Tommy.” Wilbur hissed hitting him on the back of his head, “you can’t just run off with her it’s dangerous!”

“I can protect her just fine you bitch!”

“Oh please, you can barely protect yourself.” Technoblade scoffed as you began to play with his pink hair, hating the tense atmosphere. Tommy snarled at his brother and moved to punch him in the chest but Techno was quick to sidestep them, “nice one genius.”

“FUCK OFF!”

You let out a displeased whine and covered your ears at the volume Tommy shouted,

“Shut up Tommy,” Wilbur hissed “You’re way too loud and you’re upsetting her.”

“WE WERE HAVING A LOVELY TIME UNTIL YOU FUCKERS RUINED IT!”

“Tom-Tom please shush,” You pressed a finger to your mouth in distress, mimicking a hushing movement. His face faltered, his voice lowering in volume as he apologized softly towards you. “Thank you,” a big smile spread across your lips, and all three brothers visibly relaxed.

“Alright little one,” Wilbur spoke tenderly running a hand through your hair his heart-melting a little as you nuzzled against it. “Let’s get you home, it’s way past your bedtime.” You groaned in distaste falling against Techno’s shoulder with a soft thud, the man chuckled softly as all three brothers walked back home.

It was about two months after that when your happy facade came crashing down around you, it had been a particularly rough day. Everyone seemed to be busy with one thing or another and you were left to your own devices and thoughts. They all came rushing back to you, the memories of the day your village got raided and your bio parents passed away. Wilbur was the first to notice something was wrong and had asked Phil to check up on you, so when Phil finally got around to ask what was wrong you burst into tears. That’s when they discovered you apparently remembered more of the incident than you let on. It broke their hearts to see you so upset over something you had no control over, but like everyone else in their family of misfits, you blamed yourself for simply surviving the tragedy.

They had made sure to coddle you the rest of the day, Technoblade had made sure to make you your favorite food for dinner. Phil and Wilbur tried to keep you busy with music and potion brewing and Tommy played some discs to help you fall asleep. You did so smiling and his heart soared, point to Tommy for getting you to fall asleep with a smile.

Your found family had gathered that night to discuss what they should do with you moving forward. Phil had declared they all do their best to keep you distracted the next few days, preferably in shifts if that was needed. Wilbur offered to spend the morning with you, he wanted to visit Niki and Sally and both of them loved you if anyone would cheer you up they would. Tommy offered the afternoon and he could bring Tubbo over and you all could play soldiers, Techno said he’d handle the nights with Phil.

Everyone settled into bed to get a much-needed rest, out of all the brothers Technoblade was the lightest sleeper. So when he woke up in a cold sweat with you standing over his bed he almost shit himself. You had a glassy look in your (e/c) eyes,

“(Y/n)? What are you doing? Do you know how late it is?” Technoblade scolded reaching out to grab his glasses, you didn’t respond to him which made his nose scrunch up. “Did you have a nightmare?” His voice got quieter as he reached out to cup your cheek, still no response from you. “Kid?” He sat up as you turned away from him to wander back out the door, “what just happened?” He murmured scratching under his chin, he’d have to bring this up tomorrow.

Wilbur was concerned and immediately wanted to seek a doctor, especially because you had no remembrance of the event. Phil ran a hand through his hair in thought, “could it be sleepwalking?”

“(Y/n)’s too cool to sleepwalk. What the fuck do you mean?” Tommy scoffed and you frowned eyebrows furrowing together.

“Well it makes sense, doesn’t it? She doesn’t remember walking around but it clearly happened. Hopefully, it was only a one-off occurrence and she’ll never do it again.”

“Is it bad if I do?” You whispered shuffling on your feet suddenly self-conscious, “Tommy doesn’t seem to think it’s good.” They all glared at the teenager who winced and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. Phil knelt down in front of you and cupped your cheeks with his hands,

“It’s not bad. We just have to take some extra precautions for you is all, it’s perfectly normal especially after the trauma you went through.” You bit your lip and nodded within his hands, “Tommy’s an idiot-”

“Hey!-

“That doesn’t make you any less of a person and it doesn’t make you any more abnormal either,” Phil assured as Techno began snickering behind him, he turned his head to shoot him a look.

“What? It’s just funny assuring her she’s normal when no one in this house is normal.” Technoblade waved his hand, “we’re all a bunch of misfits- don’t give me that look you know it’s true. Half of us are hybrids and the other half are gremlins,” He motioned to Tommy again who made an indigent sound tired of being the butt of everyone’s teasing. “So she’s never gonna be normal, but she’s always gonna be one of us and we’ll kill anyone who even thinks about teasing her.”

Phil smiled sheepishly sweat gathering on his brow, “Let’s not kill anyone Techno at least not now. Especially if they’re children.”

“Now, now dad, Technoblade has a point.”

“Wilbur.” Phil scolded as Tommy’s face lit up,

“Can I punch a child?” You burst into laughter at Phil’s horrified expression,

“No Tommy. No, you cannot!”

“It’s okay papa I give them explicit permission to beat anyone up who fucks with me!” You shouted and Tommy’s face once again lit up, he grabbed you out of Phil’s arms and held you close.

“You said Fuck! I’m so proud I’m teaching you so well!” He spun you around only causing you to laugh harder as the older members of your family glared at Tommy, “Now say it again!”

Wilbur plucked you from Tommy’s arms glaring at his brother, “No. No, she won’t say it again. That’s a bad word you can’t say it till you’re older.” A pout settled on your lips as you crossed your arms in frustration.

“But Tommy gets to say it all the time.”

“And he’s older.” Phil let out a chuckle at Wilbur's response watching you slump forward with a loud groan of absolute torment.

You didn’t sleepwalk again until a few months later, everyone had relatively assumed it was a one-off occurrence and their watchful eye was lifted. In the meantime Tommy had started to maybe sort of sneak out; he had his bag all packed and planned to meet Tubbo in the park. They both wanted to go monster hunting on their own, it wasn’t their first rodeo but it still wasn’t something he was supposed to do without his dad's permission.

Tommy didn’t give a shit about permission though.

Obviously.

He grabbed his sword from its place in the living room, Tommy held it up with a wicked smile. It shone in the dim light and he could see the reflection of his face inside it, it must’ve been freshly polished. Tommy put his sword in its holster and turned around, immediately letting out a startled yelp slapping his hands over his mouth. You were standing behind him eyes glassy as you blinked blearily at him,

“(Y/n)?” Tommy whisper hissed glaring at you harshly, “What the fuck are you doing awake?” You didn’t respond, only walking past him reaching for a sword of your own, his eyes widened frantically and steered you away from the sharp weaponry. “Are you sleepwalking?” Tommy asked in mild concern before a smirk came across his face, “Guess I don’t have to worry about you snitching huh?” He slowly led you into Phil’s room opening the door and shoving you in before shutting the door. Tommy made quick work of grabbing everything else needed before heading out of the house to meet up with Tubbo.

Phil woke up to you standing over him, looming, and it almost sent him into a heart attack. He knew immediately you were sleepwalking, “Oh honey...come ‘ere.” He pulled you into bed with him and watched your eyes drift close and snuggle up to him. At least you were safe with him, so long as you didn’t start unlocking doors and injuring yourself they could handle this.

After telling the other brothers about the incident last night Wilbur was only growing more concerned about your sleep state. He offered to take you to the doctor but Phil brushed him off, saying that normally this thing sorts themself out on their own. Since he was feeling rather protective Wilbur slept in the living room the next few nights just to make sure you didn’t go wandering off. Plus, Phil seemed to not only approve of but also grateful for the idea; so long as the old man could get much-needed rest he didn’t seem to care. Another week flew by with no problems, and he decided to spend one last night in the living room just to triple-check you weren’t going to sleepwalk.

He woke up to the sound of a hooting owl and soft banging against the wall, he tossed his hand over the back of the couch and he blinked blearily. Unlike his twin, he didn’t exactly have the razor-sharp reflexes that Technoblade was gifted with. Wilbur grabbed his glasses from the coffee table and shoved them on his face haphazardly.

What was that noise? Did Tommy sneak out again? He turned towards the opened door and it took a few moments to process why the door was open. Wilbur scratched the top of his head in confusion before his eyes snapped open in blatant realization. He tossed the blankets off the couch and scrambled out the door. Bare footprints were made in the mud leading away from your house, tiny you sized footprints.

Oh, he was so fucked. How long ago did you leave? Are you alright? It’s so cold and you weren’t wearing shoes.

Wilbur made sure to grab both of your jackets and shoved his feet in his boots before heading out the door. He saw his breath out in front of him and winced you must be so cold, hopefully, you weren’t dead if you were he was totally in big trouble. He followed your footprints until they stopped at the edge of the woods, he looked around frantically and anxiety prickled at his skin. If the trail went cold here there was no way he would be able to find you, what if you woke up in a completely different part of the SMP. Or worse yet what if someone kidnaps you and takes you away from them?

He entered the woods calling out your name desperately even though you wouldn’t respond if you were still asleep. Wilbur adjusted his glasses noticing a soft trail of broken leaves, he decided it was his best bet to follow them. Eventually, he came to a bit of a clearing in the woods that led up to a large cliff, Wilbur’s heart sunk. He felt his breathing stop as he walked towards the edge of the cliff, slowly like he didn’t want to know if he thinks what happened to you, happened to you. At the very top of the cliff is when he saw it, the bracelet you always wore on your wrist it was made of gold and Technoblade had gifted it to you after an adventure he had with Phil. He pulled the jewelry close to his chest and let out a shaky breath, tears swelled in his eyes as he peeked over the edge of the cliff. The poor boy couldn’t even see the bottom, Phil would have to fly down and search it, he was going to throw up.

“Wilby…?”

Oh god, he could still hear your sweet, little voice.

“What are you doing? Are you crying?”

Wait, that was your voice!

He whipped around to find you rubbing your tired eyes, your feet were bare and you were shivering. Wilbur tore through the bush and scooped you up in his arms, cuddling you close to him as he peppered kisses all over your face. “Ewww Wilby stop!” You said through giggles pushing his face away from your own,

“I’m so glad you’re alright. You were sleepwalking again, I thought…” His voice cracked a little as you tilted your head. You looked around his shoulder and eyed the cliff wearily, you nuzzled against his neck and squeezed him tightly.

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s not your fault.” He whispered against you, “let's get you home though alright? Want to have a sleepover with me?”

“Please. I’m scared I’ll wander off if I sleep alone again.” Wilbur nodded, running his fingers through your messy hair. For a girl your age, it was important to make sure you get a good night's sleep. As he carried you back home you ended up falling back asleep in his arms, he had a lot of time to think. He couldn’t believe that a few years ago he had despised the girl in his arms, thought of you as just another stowaway Phil brought home. You had managed to melt his heart and worm your way into not just his brain but his other brother’s brains as well. You had brought so much joy and happiness into their lives. Before you entered their lives there was arguing every night. Tommy and Techno were always at each other’s throats, Wilbur wasn’t any better, to be honest, but then you were there and everything changed. They had to get along and watch their language around you, you weirdly brought them together. Made them better and he couldn’t imagine what their lives would be like without their little hope.

tw: Character death [hehe, enjoy @skitter-kitteruwu, @eggpires]

They decide to execute Dream on a Thursday. It was a collaborative decision, a democratic one- if not for the varying forms of governing styles and political preferences. They had discussed it in person, arguing with words or through the heavily encrypted lines each communicator used. Some people were more vocal than others, some listened and never spoke. Others argued back and forth until it became a personal feud and not one driven by the topic at hand.

They decided to execute Dream on a Thursday, because the reason they kept him alive was one driven out of selfish need and not respect that the dead should stay dead. Out of kindness or mercy, or a vague mimicry of compassion in a world with so little to spare- they allowed him to pick his poison. What method to his madness, what tempered steel to slay the dragon its final time?

They expected something violent and gruesome. Maybe the Axe of Peace in one last hurrah, maybe a small weapon unfit for killing as a last traumatic laugh. Maybe he’d request poison, breathing his last moments under a thick hazy illusion of peace in the end. They ask him, and he states, “I want a firing squad.”

There are 5 crossbows, one for each person he listed by name. There had been hours in between, long lapses of time as he shakily wrote each name in a jittering scrawl across an empty page. They gave him 24 hours to decide how they would kill him, and he took 24 hours to write the people he wanted to look at when he died.

Theres 5 crossbows, but only an undisclosed number of them have firework rockets packed with small iron nuggets to cause a lethal strike. The rockets themselves would hurt but lacked the sting unless loaded properly with explosives and molten metal. Tubbo wore the testament to their cruelty, painting his skin in a facsimile of art with every expression. Theres 5 crossbows loaded by an unknown person, shuffled by yet another person, and arranged indiscriminately to the point where it was impossible to identify which were lethal and which were not. There's 5 crossbows, and Bad can’t help but feel vile and sour as he selects one from the lineup.

Sapnap’s expression is firm and uncaring, but his hand shakes the slightest bit as he plucks one loaded weapon from the 4 remaining. There is something unfamiliar in his body and poise. In utter contrast to Sapnap, Punz wears his disguise of a mercenary well. For all his love of riches and disregard of others, there’s a reason he was selected by Dream to be here. Punz is indifferent, but there’s something strange in his eye and a scabbed line on his lip from where he tore it sometime in the past day.

Sam argued he had to attend, claiming his right as the Warden to stay on site in the case that they fail. Bad thinks the idea itself is ridiculous, a strike from five rockets would incapacitate someone even if they weren’t prepared to be lethal. There’s no reason for Sam to be here other than his own selfish need to see Dream die. Sam thankfully doesn’t interfere as Tommy steps forward, silent for the first time, as he plucks his crossbow daintily. He holds it in his arms like it’s precious, cradling it to his chest protectively as he skirts across the sheltered end of the firing range on the tips of his toes. He doesn’t look anyone in the eye, even Sam, and instead traces imagined patterns on the polished wood of the killing machine with his fingers.

There’s 5 crossbows, the last one staying on its table until Bad speaks roughly. When he does, it directs George to finally move, bones and joints mechanical as he holds it. There’s something disturbing about the absent expression on the man’s face- his goggles forgotten and his eyes red rimmed. He holds the weapon like this entire situation is a nightmare, and Bad horribly wishes it was.

Dream hadn’t removed his mask in years. It was a last act of kindness Sam provided in the hellscape that was Pandora’s Box. Dream’s body was unremarkable, but not at all like how they remembered it. He’s thin, limp and smaller under the clean new hoodie offered to him to die in- he laughed at it with a tinge of hysteria. It makes the situation worse, painful as the fabric billows around his smaller body and the tight confines of unnecessary chains.

He isn’t laughing, Bad didn’t know why he thought Dream would be. This isn’t funny, there isn’t some ulterior motive to this. There’s no reason why this should be funny. Dream looks at them from across the measurable distance, counting the five names he requested.

Dream requests his mask be removed. It feels fake, there has to be a reason for it. There must be a plan, a last manipulative effort. Tommy doesn’t protest, Sam doesn’t argue. George is the one to remove Dream’s mask, hands shaking as Dream states that the man should keep it.

Dream stares at them and everything feels wrong. Someone asks why- Bad can’t focus enough to identify who it is that spoke- and Dream says he doesn’t want to die alone. George chokes on a sound, Tommy turns away to avoid looking at Dream chained to a chair on a Thursday.

There’s a feeling of recoil that accompanies that of a loaded firework. There’s a specific kickback that only occurs when iron is propelled under gunpowder and paper. The feeling doesn’t come from a blank- they have 5 fireworks to disguise who it is that is the murderer. It’s to disguise their guilt, the blame for who did it. It’s a painful burn on Bad’s fingertips, the unexpected jolt that makes George inhale something of a sob. Blanks don’t have recoil; they don’t hurt the way Sapnap feels his chest tearing open. They don’t have the punch that Punz identifies, they don’t force your hands to tremble as Tommy lowers the empty weapon and stares at a corpse with a horrified expression.

There’s 5 fireworks, there’s 5 crossbows, and Dream dies on a Thursday.
