oh uh so like
during the green festival, when c!Dream's saying "You're and idiot, you just gave me the one thing I need to destroy L'Manburg" after Tommy betrays Technoblade and gives him the disc,
is there a possibility he's reffering to c! Techno?

OKAY, so basically, i already kinda headcanon the whole 'i told schlatt i was pregnant' thing as canon, so it just kinda follows that, but instead of accidental fireworks abortion, the baby ends up surviving that (the other parent died during the war or smth). so ctubbo's gotta deal with being president and trying to rebuild l'manburg while also dealing with being pregnant. and cranboo's there trying to be his usual loyal minutesman self, but he's a little bit more adamant about getting ctubbo to rest and take care of himself.
they end up getting married in the hospital after ctubbo's gone into labor cause there's a strict 'only family members in the room' rule (contrived but very fun i think). the baby ends up being a little duck guy that ctubbo names benson.
then they have the green festival, cranboo's revealed a traitor, they all prep for doomsday. and on doomsday ctubbo convinces cranboo to take benson so he can go fight with ctommy. cranboo's super nervous but agrees, and hangs back from all the destruction.
after it's all over, ctubbo goes to make snowchester and cranboo actually joins him instead of running off to the artic, and eventually they bring michael home too
OHHHHH THAYS SO GOOD…. I love that

Like, okay, imagine for a second you're a citizen in L'Manburg after the Doomsday Trio announces that they're razing L'Manburg to the ground.
Not only are you literally told that they are going to destroy the city, while your government appears to have fucked off again to go prep elsewhere without giving you much direction for what to do, but this is something that happened before. The difference is when Wilbur Soot blew up the city and killed thousands of people, he called people to a festival first. People had absolutely no warning. He did it intentionally. You're glad that guy's gone. At least this time you have a warning.
Honestly, you can't say you didn't expect this. Your government tried to hold some sort of public execution for this guy, and his friend was being kept under house arrest. Neither of them got a trial. You never spoke out because you were worried the same might happen to you.
You start thinking about how you never hear about this shit happens in the Badlands. You've been told you've got at least a month, so you start packing. There's lots of places to go. Maybe you'll move to the Badlands, or maybe just back to the SMP. You've got more then enough time.
Then one day, you walk out and see a masked figure over the city and building something. Oh no. They lied about the amount of time you had. You assume the fight is about to start.
But it appears your government still isn't here, and after a few tense hours of watching Dream very slowly build, you come to the conclusion that he's just preparing. A few braver people approach and speak to him, confirming what you suspected. Citizens still have plenty of time to leave, he's just getting ready. He's even helpful enough to outline the area they plan to destroy. Apparently even Manifoldland next door is safe, although nobody wants to live there.
You think you see a few people offering Dream extra gunpowder or obsidian. People who were sick and tired of the government's constant propaganda and refusal to hold themselves accountable for anything. You don't know if you can blame them. Rumors circulate of a place up north for those sick and tired of governments.
For the next week and a half, anyone who walks outside can see the clearly forming grid and TNT machines. People who were in denial sigh and decide that maybe they will move after all. Honestly, this city has never really been a great place to live. It was kind of a stupid concept to begin with. You've decided to move to the main SMP and go from there. You leave with a group, you all built houses out in the SMP, and with the ample time you've had, you've been able to help move any pets, farm animals, and most of the important resources out of the city. Some people got a herd of horses together and are helping people move out. You'd say that you'd miss your house, but you brought most of it's materials with you.
Another month goes by, more people filter out. A few weeks later, that's when the first explosions actually happen. After a shouting match of some kind. There's withers running around, but that's not your problem. A few hours later, the city is dead.
No, no, that's not quite right. The city died well before that. It's been dying ever since it's creator murdered thousands then died himself. This was just burning it's corpse.
You go to see the ruins a week later. You knew people that died to Wilbur Soot. None of your friends died in the city this time. They still live next to you. Just in a new place. It's an adjustment, but you think that maybe it was for the best this time. Maybe it was never meant to be.

idk if im misremembering but i feel like the dreamon situation also plays into how dream views things because like, he nearly literally got hunted down there. quackity tried to hunt technoblade down with the butcher army. hunting and killing people is absolutely on the table in dreams mind for anyone who gets too dangerous, and dream views himself as "too dangerous" so he would rather be in the prison than hunted and killed like an animal
i mean, i wouldn't point to the dreamon thing in particular (the dreamon thing feels more important to XD than c!Dream at that point in the lore) but like. yeah, uh, butcher army that literally had c!Dream on the hitlist as well as c!Techno? Green Festival, originally an assassination plot? NLM wanting to declare war against c!Dream during exile negotiations, Dethronement and Mexican L'manburg involving plans against c!Dream (including plans revolving around killing him??)--like. c!Dream's paranoia is far from unfounded. sure, he does batshit things because of it and there are moments where he's definitely like. way over the line because of it (that last day of exile comes to mind) but like. uh c!dream really isn't wrong at all about people being out to get him. they very much were.

Ok cTubbo's still losing it's time for me to whip out the propaganda
I've been mentally ill over this cube man for a year I'm not letting him lose without a fight
So in this I'm going to list all the tragic events in his life in order (although DISCLAIMER I might forget some stuff or get stuff wrong fellow dsmp fans please don't @ me)
He was a child soldier. Canon ages of basically all the characters are dubious at best, but if we go by cc!Tubbo's age he was only 16 at the time of the L'manburg Revolution. That's only one of the THREE wars he fought in but we're going in order and more shit happened in between the L'manburg revolution and the next war he fought in (Manberg v Pogtopia) so PUT A PIN IN THIS
He DIED in the aforementioned L'manburg Revolution. For the unacquainted, characters in the DSMP get 3 "canon" deaths, so you get to die canonically 3 times before dying For Real, so he came back after, but he still DIED, which hurts!
He had to watch his best friend (cTommy) and basically big brother figure (cWilbur) get exiled from the nation THEY HELPED BUILD.
He was forced to be a spy
The aforementioned being a spy...ness lead to him getting EXECUTED. Mind you going by cc!Tubbo's age he STILL was only 16 or 17!
Did I mention the fireworks and the box?!? Ohhh boy. The fireworks and the box. This was his canon event. You know when people say "x never truly left y"? CTubbo never truly left The Box. This is the ROOT of soooo much trauma. He was trapped in a tkiny box and shot to death. First off, he was SHOT TO DEATH WITH FIREWORKS. That is one of the most painful ways to go. You're getting shot to death AND burned to death at the same time. This left him with permanent scarring. Second, he was killed at a festival that HE DECORATED HIMSELF. I could go on and on about why the red festival and Tubbo's execution are tragic as hell but I'll stop here cus I have more shit to cover.
*takes pin out of thd first point* He fought in a war AGAIN
He was appointed president of a country at 17 (again, going by cc!Tubbo's age, also don't quote me on that number he might've still been 16, I don't remember. The point is he was YOUNG. Like, that's a high schooler!(in the US anyway))
His basically older brother figure killed himself immediately after he got appointed president
He was manipulated into exiling his best friend not long after becoming president
He was led to believe said best friend committed SUICIDE while he was in exile (cTommy was alive, but cTubbo thought he was dead for a pretty long while)
Doomsday. Just. All of Doomsday. Finally giving up on L'manburg, the country he'd loved and fought tooth and nail for, and still they lost. He lost. Reconciling with Tomny, his best friend, only not really, because their friendship has been so damaged. Just- EVERYTHING.
Also Doomsday was technically a war so that's the 3rd war he fought in
He tried to sacrifice himself for his best friend.
He INVENTED NUKES. He's literally DSMP Oppenheimer to an extent. He invented nukes because he's had to fight so hard to keep the people and things he loves safe that he went all the way to the extreme of INVENTING NUKES to keep his family safe.
SAID NUKES ENDED UP KILLING HIM
He lost his husband! C!Ranboo fucking died!
He lost his son! Michael was kidnapped MULTIPLE TIMES (at least TWICE) And then thanks to the shitty ass finale making him LOSE HIS FUCKING MEMORY, HE DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER!!!
He lost his best friend MULTIPLE TIMES (he lost metaphorically Tommy because of exile and how their relationship was damaged, then he thought he'd lost Tommy LITERALLY because he thought Tommy committed suicide in Exile, AND THEN, not long after Tommy got out of Exile, before they could repair their relationship, Tommy DIED. FOR REAL THIS TIME.)
And finally, his story ended not with him getting a chance to heal, but with him dying to his own nuke and then getting memory loss. And him getting memory loss is ALSO tragic in its own way but I won't go into that cus this is getting long.
So yeah here's my propaganda. /rp for all of this. I know I already put c__ in front of most of the names but just in case. I don't want anyone to get confused and think I'm talking about Actual Real Life 19-year-old YouTuber Tubbo.
I'm gonna end this out with this:
I don't know SHIT about Madoka Magica. I've not seen it yet. But I bet Sayaka Miki didn't die THREE times.
[Propaganda]

POST ABOUT THE GODS AU I CANT CARRY THIS BURDEN ALONE
you would be the one to ask 💀 I've been tormenting you for YEARS with this au
okay so since this is going to be a massive word vomit post ill put it under a cut after I give a quick summary of the basic premise
so there is a family of gods who are known to be cruel. who have a hatred for all mortals and will use them for their own entertainment as some sort of sick punishment for the wrongs of the past
philza, the God of death, and his sons techno, wilbur, grian (you can ask about this LATER), and tommy. who are the gods of blood, madness, tragedy, and chaos respectively
now to give a brief summary up to right before purgatory (I will be skipping over the grian stuff but if you want to know more about that I will explain) meaning I'm not going into full detail, because if I did this post would be a novel
*disclaimer!!!!!! I HATE dream but unfortunately he is a big villain in this au so he is gonna get mentioned just be aware that he will always be the most vile person in any au I make
DSMP
SO it all starts when wilbur gets bored of his challenges (the 100 player challenges) and decides he wants to do something new. he takes tommy and they disguse themselves as mortals and go to the land of dsmp to spread their madness and chaos there
tommy pretended to befriend tubbo because he found him interesting and then the three of them created l'manburg. tubbo doing it for a place to be free and the two gods doing it to see how other residents would react
the revolution was exactly what they wanted, beautifully chaotic and allowed wilbur to let his madness infect everyone who opposed l'manburg
erets betrayal wasn't planned but it was wonderfully entertaining for the gods watching the revolutionaries get beaten over and over just to keep getting back up
in the end tommy makes the deal to trade his disc's for independence because he and wilbur had already planned an election
and the elections go exactly as planned with the betrayal of schlatt being planned since the beginning. you see schlatt was someone wilbur had previously turned mad and he knew exactly what would happen if he brought him in
in Pogtopia is where things start to go off track, because tommy starts to realize that maybe his friendship with tubbo isn't just pretend and he starts trying to convince wilbur that blowing up l'manburg won't be as entertaining and leaving it be (it doesn't work)
techno just makes things more complicated because he wants blood to spill, and to help his brothers with their little game
the red festival and tubbos execution creates a conflict between techno and tommy, and wilbur just thinks it's because tommy wanted to mess with tubbo more. to settle this argument they fight in the pit
November 16th is when everything goes ary. at first everything is according to plan, techno "betrays" them, wilbur blows up the country, phil is waiting in the wings to collect all the souls. but then something unexpected happens, tommy doesn't go through with his part of the plan and refuses to kill tubbo
the others have to improvise, because even though they could kill everyone there, tommy doesn't want to and they aren't going to go against family, they couldn't care less about the mortals but tommy is another story and if he wants to play nice they'll let him play nice (for now). wilbur and phil stay back to keep an eye on him while also playing the parts of father haunted by his dead son just for the fun of it
and tommy does well for a bit, keeping his chaos in check at least, and not seeing tubbo as just another mortal (he couldn't care less about the others), he does find the newcomer interesting though and doesn't immediately dismiss them
when his chaos reaches a point where he needs to let some out he takes the new guy (ranboo) and goes to rob the mushroom house, things get a bit outta hand and the house ends up burning
tommy takes the fall
he gets exiled by the same person he went against his family for
he is hurt
brought to logstedshire, he plays along with whatever, letting his chaos and wilburs madness infect dream, taking joy in watching it consume the man. when he finally gets bored he leaves and joins his brother at his cabin
not even a week later the butcher army come to try and execute techno, which doesn't end well at all. tommy stayed behind while techno humored the mortals letting them attempt their little execution than easily breaking free and killing quackity in the process. phil goes with him
doomsday is planned by the gods to get back at the mortals who hurt their youngest. tommy blows up the community house so he give the warning for what's to come
during actual doomsday they finally reveal what/who they are, so the residents of New l'manburg can see just how badly they fucked up
tommy is supposed to kill tubbo, before he can however tubbo asks him if it was all fake, and tommy is honest. tells him that in the beginning it was but at some point that changed, and he started caring and now he'd be lying to himself if he said he didn't. he can't even bring himself to kill tubbo
something shifts in tommy and he is no longer chaos, and instead becomes loyalty
phil, techno, and wilbur are blinded by rage towards the people who made tommy hurt and attempts to kill tubbo but something unexpected happens
for his accomplishment of doing the impossible, making a cruel God kind, tubbo is turned into a God. the God of forgiveness
the three leave once tommy runs up and hugs him, realizing Tommy's domain has shifted and that like it or not a pair of gods have just been born
ranboo ends up being taken to the cabin along with tubbo because he has no where else to go. it helps that the gods have all taken a liking to him
over the next few months tubbo along with ranboo start working with the gods to try and get them to see mortals as more than just tools for their entertainment (the two also get married and adopt micheal at this point)
everyone else on the smp believe beeduo got kidnapped by them and keep trying to "save them" and failing miserably every time
ranboo happily playing cards and winning with them, cut to quackity spying on them and thinking this must be some advanced torture technique
all is well until tommy and tubbo get attacked by dream using a god killing axe (he was angrey that tubbo took his only chance to become a god and now wants to kill him). while protecting tubbo and fighting back (killing dream twice) sam and the others arrive and think it's tommy who snapped and attacked first (they still think he is chaos)
he gets captured and put into the prison that was built to keep the gods imprisoned. tubbo runs back to the cabin and tells the others what happened, and while he is breaking down tubbos domain shifts from forgiveness to destruction and becomes cruel
Niki joins them at this point and the syndicate is formed
over the next few months while tommy is trapped in the prison, tubbo pretends to be glad he is free and roams the server letting off radiation and slowly weakening and killing anyone he comes across. just biding his time until the syndicate is ready to break tommy out
when they are ready they strike at night, tubbo gets in by pretending he wants to settle things with tommy and "get peace", once he is on the moving bridge he reveals his true colours letting his radiation kill the warden
he finds tommy weak and in chains, tommy who even after months in prison, has not gone cack to chaos. wasting no time tubbo destroys the chains and breaks down the "impenetrable" walls with his destruction. meeting up with the rest of the syndicate who were waiting on the outside
ranboo and Niki were told to stay behind at the cabin incase tubbo couldn't control his power, unfortunately that's what dream was expecting. so while the gods aren't there to protect them, dream attacks, they hold him back long enough for the others to get back but right as they get there ranboo is struck with the same axe dream used against tommy
niki takes tom so tubbo and wilbur can go to ran, while techno and phil fight off dream. wilbur plays a song to keep ranboo calm, while tubbo tries to stop the bleeding. in this moment they are not the cruel gods they are known as, and like tommy months earlier, their domains shift
madness becomes music, blood becomes protection, and death becomes family
dream is killed for good this time, ranboo is healed by phil who refuses to let his death take him, and they leave for good with the few people they care about. they can learn to be kind later for now they need to heal
between dsmp and qsmp
there is about a 1000 year gap between the two. and the first 400 of those years is spent happily traveling together and leaning to be kind with ranboo and micheal, who have been made functionally immortal by phil (he asked beforehand of course)
wilbur is the first to split off wanting to play his music for the world and distance himself from his past madness. then tommy leaves because he wants to explore the world, techno goes with his for protection
leaving phil to look after the _Beloved family who have made a little home for themselves. tubbo has to leave occasionally go preform whatever duties he has as a god, but he always comes back. and micheal goes on his own adventures for years, even decades at a time, he too always comes back
after 200 years of this little routine ranboo asks phil the question he's been dreading for 600 years. he waits until tubbo is out of the house and asks if he could take back the immortality. says that he's been thinking about it for a long time and now that he's lived such a long life he's ready. when phil asks if tubbo knows, ranboo can only say his expression would make him change his mind
after explaining that ranboo would still have to live out the rest of his natural lifespan and that ranboo has to promise to tell everyone sooner rather than later, it is done, and ranboo is mortal once again
the first ones told are micheal and tubbo, who comes home a year later, the tears are expected and there are a LOT of tears, it's almost like ranboo would drop dead any minute and not live nearly another 100 years. tommy, techno, and wilbur find out not long after and their reactions are similar, with lots of tears and hugs
they all promise to make as many memories in the next 100 years as possible
and once those 100 years are up, phil personally escorts ranboo to the afterlife to be taken care of by his wife, the goddess of death
ranboo would be joined by micheal not much later
NOW FOR QSMP
qsmp is set long after the gods have learned to be kind (thanks to the efforts of ranboo and micheal) now the family is off doing their own things and trying to atone for their pasts. their old domains will always be a part of them and they still have power over them, but they don't abuse that power
wilbur and phil just so happened to end up on the same train to quesadilla island together. little did they know the descendants of people they once knew (and tormented) would also be on the island, along with foolish and slime who are the same people from the smp
they both end up finding foolish and slime and apologizing for what happened in he past. slime doesn't really care cause the gods never messed with him much, if anything he was one of they few people they were kind to, and foolish had no problems since what they did never really effected him 💀
of course neither of them reveal what they are to any of the other residents (that don't already know) and just go on with their lives on the island, well wilbur goes off island for a while so he can go off and spread his music and phil stays behind giving small blessings to the islanders
when the kids come it becomes increasingly clear why phil was drawn to this place, he is the God of family after all. and to his surprise all of the kids have been blessed by various gods given to the residents to be raised as new champions, and of course the one phil ends up with just so happens to be blessed by one of phils own sons, techno
when wilbur comes back he can feel the presence of the young champions, but there is a stronger presence that he couldn't explain, at least not until he meets tallulah
because unlike the other egg children, tallulah isn't blessed by a god, and she wasn't born from the dragon like the others (I WILL BE MAKING A SEPARATE POST ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT IT GETTING LOST IN THE MASSIVE SUMMARY POST)
while the other eggs are simply blessed by gods, tallulah is one, and she's not just any god, she's a god born from music itself, from wilbur
he's not sure about being her father at first, he's too scared his lingering madness will infect and ruin her, but when he helps her paint her first sunrise he knows he will never be able to let her go
when he has to leave again he promises to send her the prettiest birdsongs every morning so she knows he will always be there for her. phil promises to protect her with his life while wilbur is away
the nightmare that happens isn't actually a nightmare, it really happened, and it's the first time phil uses his influence over death in centuries. he refuses to let his kids die like that, but if something like this were to happen again he wouldn't be able to bring them back. not without the other islanders finding him out
and everything goes back to normal, or as normal as things could be, until Bobby's death. and there's nothing phil can do, his domain may be death but even he has rule he must follow and he's already broken them once, he cannot do it again. the most he can do is bring Bobby's soul to the living world and allow his parents one final goodbye
and no one does find out, at least not for a while, when the Brazilians came a few of them seemed to know something was up but couldn't quite place what it was.
when tallulah gots attacked by the code phil got carried away and death slipped from his grasp causing tallulahs death
he can't help but feel guilty for not being able to do more for the grieving parents of the island
when the codes disguse themselves as Phil's kids he is pissed, and he can't help it when death surrounds him. if he uses an excessive amount of power while fighting them, the only one to notice is etoiles who had only seen philza use this kind of power once before
finding tubbo had been a surprise, and phil hadn't expected the warm hug he got. not after he left 300 years ago, after the loss of his family. but as it turns out he missed phil greatly and was excited to see him again
introducing him to tallulah and chayanne was easy, and they took to him quickly. phil was quick to make him their godparent (pun intended)
one day after putting the kids to bed with him, phil could tell there was something on tubbos mind. he didn't have a chance to ask what was wrong before tubbo spoke, saying he hadn't put a child to bed like this since... he couldn't even finish his sentence. sometimes he would see micheal in the egg children and it was just too much for him
and once again things seem to be going back to normal until the eggs are taken away. phil knows they aren't dead, he would have known if the were, but still their absence drives him mad. he has half the mind to think wilbur is behind his madness but he knows his son would never
the birdhouse is much like the prison tommy was once put in, and with the stress of losing the eggs, phil starts seeing things. and he really starts to wonder if some of wilburs old madness was re-emerging
tubbo is a mess with them gone, he doesn't want to lose another family
wilbur comes back to the island as soon as he stops seeing tallulahs paintings in the sky, and when he finds out she's missing... that madness he's been running from sneaks back up on him. he leaves before it can infect anyone else, and when phil finds him later he doesn't mention it
when he finds the recording of his song with tallulahs turtles, all of the madness disappears. perhaps it's his music that will reach her
.
.
.
and that's all the notable lore bits up till purgatory (I am begging someone to send an ask about purgatory cause I have many thoughts)
^this is a lie, there is so much I left out, like the entire backstory of why they were cruel in the first place, or how any of the dsmp backstories play into this, and also Kristin's whole role in this, and I completely left out ALL of the Hermitcraft and life series stuff that has to do with grian
I just put the bare minimum and this is still monstrously long 😭😭😭😭
genuinely anyone who makes it to the bottom of this post good job, it took me days to write because it was all off memory 💀
anyways please send me more asks about it because writing it all down has made me brainrot over this au again

antarctic idiots [pt.6] - c! technoblade
Tumblr media
summary; in which two anarchist piglins adopt an ender boy.
genre; child! ranboo, piglin hybrid! reader, slight canon divergence from dream smp, fluff, found family au is my shit, reader is now ranboo’s parent i don’t make the rules, techno is a grumpy father but it’s okay you love him, realistic minecraft? (idk how to describe it-), uh angst (if you squint)
pairing; c! technoblade x reader, platonic! ranboo x reader
word count; 2.4k
spotify playlist | main masterlist
< previous - next >
a/n; regarding techno's death, i have decieded to continue this series after it's long hiatus. i am not trying to stain techno's death with writing. i see this as keeping his character alive and keeping the memory of him alive. i am also coping this way. kind of. i was really sad about his death on the day it happened but now i'm feeling much different in a good way. i dont think techno would want to see any of us sad especially since he was usually the reason we smiled and not why we cried and i intend to keep it that way.
i will be writing for techno but i refuse to do anything nsfw with him as that just feels so disrespectful to him. obviously if there is any statement from his family about fanfics, this will be taken down.
i will continue to write for techno.
i am saying this to lighten this note, techno himself wrote fanfics about hypixel so there's not much of difference between him and a lot of other writers out there. if you don't like what i'm doing, that's fine, to each their own. i like to think i'm preserving his memory like artists.
Tumblr media
today was the festival. you hadn't prepared too much (because how did you really need to prepare for a bombing), only bringing your armor and your trusty sword. you were with techno,, the male wondering if wilbur and tommy were coming to join you both.
"no, techno, they can't. they were exiled."
a beat of silence before, "hah, losers. imagine not being invited, L." techno said as you started to walk to l'manburg. you and techno meet up with other citizens and friends of l'manburg. techno greeting them much easier than you were. you didn't even know why you were invited in the first place, who else knew about you helping pogtopia? "is this where everyone who actually got invited meet up?" techno asked as you noticed some familiar faces. he started to ramble a bit though it didn't last long.
you stood behind techno, both of your shadows looming over the much shorter people in the crowd.
"oh, fundy is here."
"yeah! i got some fun games!" you looked at the fox hybrid. he showed the dunking tank, pranking poor niki for a moment. "hey, hey, technoblade! you have a trident right?" the male piglin nodded. "you think you can shoot yourself into the tank?"
"uh, i can try." techno offered, standing in the lake. his arm rose up in the air as he aimed for the sky, but before he could fly, “you’re not gonna drown me in the tank, right?”
“no.” fundy said, the sly fox was very obvious with his intentions, however techno didn’t seem to mind. 
“alright, doesn’t sound like something you would do.” techno shrugged before flying up in the air and into the dunk tank. 
“i would not trust fundy-” niki started but got cut off by the male piglin.
“i made it.” his voice muffled due to his helmet and the water. he partly made it. his head was just in the dunk tank while the rest of him hung out on the edge of it. you laughed a little bit as techno goes back to the lake to try again. he made it this time, yelling in victory before he looks up to see a block above his head.
laughing loudly, fundy looks at the piglin, “i lied.”
you and niki start to help him as techno starts rambling, “i should’ve expected this. well, this is the end for me. any second now i’m gonna drown.” he said dramatically. you put your helping to a stop, remembering what the pink haired male told you about his armor. you knew that technoblade won’t die this easily.
“hey, does anyone have popcorn? i want to see how this ends.” you asked anyone nearby you. they said no, leaving you pouting and eating your baked potatoes in despair as you watched techno dramatically lament about his upcoming “death”.
“i only have a few hours with my respiration 3 helmet.” you laughed loudly with others as techno continued his antics. “i’m feeling kind of hungry actually.” he started to eat his steak while fundy seemed to crumble down, complaining about how techno should’ve just died already. 
“have you seen how much time this man has put into the smp? he probably has four backup sets!” fundy complained as your laughter calmed down to a few chuckles. 
“hold on, i left the stove on at home.” techno broke the block and flew right out with ease. you could tell the fox had long given up at his task of killing techno with the dunk tank.
❚ Quackity > GATHER AT THE MANBURG PODIUM
before the speech had begun, techno shows off his fireworks that he had prepared for the festival. "woo fireworks!" he says in his usual monotone voice as everyone else cheers in awe othe the colorful explosives. you, on the other hand, had seen techno prepare the fireworks in his own base. how did you find that base underwater? he will never know. 
"hello everybody and welcome to the manburg festival!" schlatt annouced. "i have invited all the citizens of manburg and some close friends of mine. i just- i just wanted to throw a party to be honest." during the small speech, you glance over to your right and see techno staring up at schlatt. he seemed to have that confused look in his eye, maybe wondering why he was at a party about government. you were wondering that same thing about yourself but even more so as schlatt never really knew you. you were never really around often, especially during the time of the election.
"chat, i'm not gonna do it. i'm literally surrounded by enemies.." your ear twitches, hearing techno muttering to the voices in his head. after a moment, he cheers, "woo party!"
quackity starts leading everyone to pokimane islands. everyone dances and cheers happily until niki and techno start talking about state secrets. "anyone wanna talk about state secrets?" techno asked not-so-subtly.
"you know for the fact that you're really smart, you're really unsubtle with getting private information."
"like you could do any better." 
"i can actually. you're talking to the pandora's box after all." you smiled smugly. "how do you think i know about your other base?" techno narrows his eyes at you as your smile turns innocent while you brush your hand against his arm. "i know a lot of things, mr. blade, i would hate to have to pull anything over your head."
after a while, fundy suggested to do a boxing match. "yeah violence! yeahhh!" techno is quick to cheer on as you follow along.
"promoting violence. hell yeah!" you sound just as monotonous as techno does while everyone gathers at the ring. 
nearly immediately, fundy is asking for a fight with techno. techno excuses himself for a moment. you watch the pink haired male fly with his trident to do something. you have some idea of what he's doing. just as fast as he flies away, he quickly arrives back and takes off his armor, setting it by you. "watch m' stuff f' me." his voice is a bit more gruffy as you raise an eyebrow upon noticing some familiar particles bubble around him. "don't look a' me like that."
you smiled, "hmm, mr. blade using a potion in a boxing match?" you talked quietly, humming in amusement. techno snorted, a telltale sign that a piglin was not very pleased. you laughed a bit, "don't be so mad, techno. i thought you were the mature one. i'm just pointing things out." techno is silent for a moment while you look at him. you would never say it to his face but he wasn't a bad sight to see or maybe it was just your piglin instincts to admire other piglins. you snort to yourself quietly, a sound that was close to a piglin admiring gold, but techno picks up on it.
"you seem to be admiring me. i am amazing so i get it." you laughed at bit upon seeing his smug smile as he faces you. 
"glad to see you're warming up to me now."
"i still don't trust you." he huffed.
"well, trust and warming up to someone is different. i can be an acquaintance. i don't need to be trusted. not yet at least." you hummed. "anyways go beat up fundy, pig man." he snorted at your statement as antfrost starts to count down.
and in just a few seconds, the fox is down and techno is victorious. "who's next!? who's next?!"
"techno, we're gonna have to initiate a drug test on you."
"can we wait 30- no, 29- 27 seconds until then?" you started to laugh watching as techno counts down his potion effect while he fumbles over his words. quackity and fundy seem to not accept that, asking techno for a drug test. but techno is quick to escape. "all of a sudden, i'm gone-" and he's flying before anyone else can say anything.
he does come back as another speech was gonna happen in a few moments. and yet this one gave you a bit of a sinking feeling..
Tumblr media
"who am i to say no to that, right? so without further ado, i think i’ll put big man tubbo, my right-hand man, my uh… my protégé, up on the mic to spit some bars!" everyone cheers for tubbo as you clap for him as well. you almost frown upon seeing how he can barely reach the microphone. he's so young for this… him and tommy… you can only think to yourself, hearing his speech. words are being heard and yet you can't listen well enough. you knew what was going on. 
"so with that in mind, i'd like to thank everyone for coming to this wonderful event!" a deep chuckle fills your ears as tubbo's speech ends. "what- what's wrong schlatt?"
"i was just thinking about it. you know how we like to have fun, tubbo?" that sounds anything but good. you grip on your sword, something's gonna happen and you don't know if you have the guts to handle it right now. 
"yeah.. what- what's up schlatt?"
"you got anything else in that speech?" 
"uhhh no! on that note, let the festival begin!" after that all you see in quackity and schlatt whisper to each other and hand each other some bright yellow item. this was looking worse and worse as you watch the two surround tubbo with the paste and soon pouring water over the paste. it was now concrete. tubbo was stuck with no way out.
"what the fuck are they doing.." you muttered, feeling your anger rise. you can hear techno and niki mutter in confusion as they watch everything slowly unfold.
niki's pleas are unheard to schlatt as he speaks, "I know what you've been up to, tubbo."
"what- what have i done? what have i been up to? what are you talking about?" tubbo's eyes are glazed with fear and panic as his hands are pressed against the yellow concrete. he's trying to back up against the chair but he can't move any farther back.
shlatt laughs mockingly, "what i have been up to, he says.." and soon he's yelling, "he's been CONSPIRING with the idiots! with the tyrants! that we kicked out of this server! that we kicked out of this great country!" his voice was as loud and booming as you remember the past. when you escaped before the results were even out for the election, when you decided that this country was not what you wanted to stay in for very long. “i don’t know if you know this, tubbo but treason… isn’t exactly a respectable thing around here… y’know?”
“do you know what happens to traitors, tubbo?” the dark look in schlatt’s eyes have you gripping tighter on the worn out handle of your sword. the leather wrapped around the grip does nothing to help your bubbling anger. 
“n-no…”
“nothing good.” he stops looking at tubbo to look into the stunned crowd, “technoblade, why don’t you come up here?” your neck nearly snaps with how hard you turned to look at him. was he working for schlatt? you asked yourself for a moment before seeing how surprised and concerned he was, looking around and having no response to the president. techno glances at you for a moment. both of you seem hesitant on what to do but with an unsettling feeling in his stomach, techno tridents his way to the large stage podium. you can barely keep yourself focused on everything. the whispers of everyone around, the choking atmosphere, and knowing that tubbo might just be in danger of losing a life. your mind is fuzzy as you can’t listen to a word of what schlatt is saying. you can hear snippets but it doesn’t go through your mind. you hear nothing. but then you hear everything.
“take care of the traitor. take care of him.” schlatt’s graveled voice suddenly feels grating to hear.
“you want me to get him- get him some breakfast?” techno’s voice is muffled and yet so clear. 
“no…” niki’s cries are unheard as they’re overpowered by the shattering of your heart and the aching of your brain. you wished you could comfort her.
“he won’t. he won’t. he won’t! he’s on our side!” wilbur? when did he get here? how long has he been here? you’re getting rusty, old woman. you shouldn’t have retired, you idiot.
“techno, i need you to take him out.” take him out…?
“to dinner?”
“no! not to dinner! i want you to kill him!” schlatt’s voice screeches through the microphone as techno oh’s in realization. 
“techno, you don’t need to do this!”
“it’s- it’s a festival today schlatt…”
you can see him hold his crossbow. he’s gonna do it… he doesn’t have much of a choice. not when they don’t know that he’s with pogtopia. suddenly you’re aware of how surrounded you are, marburg citizens were all in the crowd. you were sure that if techno or you made a wrong move, you would both lose a life.
“i’m sorry tubbo.”
“t-techno?”
your mouth is dry, failing to say anything to help techno in this situation. the battle of the lake was different, it wasn’t this. at least with a battle, you didn’t need to think about what to do. but to be fair, it’s not like you even tried to do any thinking at the time. but either way, this wasn’t a battle. this was an execution.
“i will try to make this as painless and as colorful as possible, tubbo.” techno can only mutter but the mic just barely picks it up.
“technoblade…” 
“tubbo, i’m sorry! i’m being subjected to mild amounts of peer pressure.”
“DO IT TECHNOBLADE!”
with a yell, techno fires off the fireworks to tubbo. the thundering boom of the fireworks rings in your ears as you try and cover them to soften noise, just for a little bit. of course it didn’t help but there was nothing else you can think of doing. your feet frozen in place as you watch tubbo die. and soon everyone else would too. you can see the bloodthirst in techno’s eyes as he loads the bow again. so much was happening at once. tommy landed himself onto the podium in tears as he looks at where tubbo’s body lays. he was distraught at techno’s betrayal.
but techno could only see blood.
and you needed to run.
everyone who survived techno’s reign of fireworks is fleeing in panic, including yourself. you can only trip over your feet before using your own trident to get away, going in the same direction as techno while everyone was yelling to get tommy. why didn’t they bother with techno after killing so many citizens? that was something beyond your understanding really. the government ruling over manburg was a really bad one to say the least if they were doing such public executions. what a government that was.

The Festival of Hope.
Held once a year, over the span of three days following the anniversary of L'Manburg's Doomsday. Organized by the Captain, and by the ex-King. Surrounding the crater of what was once a thriving nation, and filling its valley with joy and community once more.
A celebration of everything L'Manburg stood for.
It's been ten years, now. Ten years from the first Festival-- a small affair, the attendees primarily those who had once lived in L'Manburg, gathered to mourn and honor their past home.
Now, the Festival is a bustling event. Players from across the entire server come to take part in the festivities, to celebrate and honor the spirit of that which brought so many of them together. Children in Snowchester are allowed these days as a holiday from schools, and encouraged to visit the crater. Las Nevadas opens a miniature casino for the adults. It is built up to with delight and excitement, as a reminder of the community that once existed.
You have come to the festival, a young child who can not remember the days of L'Manburg but who has grown up with the stories of its existence. As far back as you can remember, you have visited the crater to pay respects to its legacy.
This year your parents have determined you old enough to attend on your own, and as you step up to the edge of the crater to leave your offering-- a small bundle of wildflowers, picked out of the snow and kept safe and alive for almost a week now, bundled up in warmth and sunlight within your home --you can't help but notice a tall man staring into it.
You've seen him around Snowchester before. He has dirty-blond hair, and he's drumming his fingers and talking to himself as he watches the crater. He's wearing a blue sweater that doesn't quite fit him right. He looks... sad.
You offer your flowers to him, instead. He shakes his head.
"It's just-- I can't believe after all this, people still-- They still care about it all," He says, gesturing to the piles of gifts and offerings left at the edge of the crater. "They remember it. They care about it. It's--"
He doesn't seem to know what to say next, and you can see the tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
"It wasn't all for nothing. It fucking-- it meant something. He was right. It meant something."
You stand there for a moment with him, letting the world be quiet, before placing your flowers where you'd meant for them to go. He smiles at you, then, reaching out to ruffle your hair with a laugh.
You notice that in his other hand, he's holding a pair of taped-up glasses. He sends you back to the festivities before you can ask about them.
"Don't fucking worry about me, bitch. I'll be back down eventually. Go have some fucking-- fun, or whatever."
He's smiling, still. There's something sad about it, but-- you turn to head back down, anyways.
You join in with a game some of the other kids are playing. You're soldiers, revolutionaries, fighting for their independence and freedom. Wooden swords and paper sashes become your battle gear, as you laugh and play with each other.
And, as you play, a grown fox offers to join in. He says you can't be soldiers without an enemy to fight. Without someone you can stand up against. And so he takes up the role of the bad guy, with an over-the-top laugh and a sly grin on his face. He seems to be having fun. You know you are.
When he's defeated, he tells you you fought well. You're not sure you did, but he's playing with you and nobody else is willing to be the bad guy, so you guess he's alright. Still, as he walks away, you hear him mutter something under his breath.
"Good kids. Clearly their parents didn't leave them for some dumb war. Maybe-- maybe this isn't so bad, after all."
You forget about what you heard quickly enough, though, as you're swept up in the excitement of reenactments. This has always been one of your favorite parts of the Festival: watching as the stories of L'Manburg are told through theatrical productions. You know them all by heart.
As you watch, this year, you can't help but overhear comments from some of the other attendees. A pair of people-- a woman with pink hair, and a man wearing a headset --keep up a humorous, if not... entirely kind, commentary throughout all of it.
"They always forget to talk about the anteaters," The pink-haired lady insists during the initial revolution, half-snickering as she does so. "We had to sit through that rant so many times. You'd think they'd remember it."
"Yeah, or the time they counted rations wrong and we were left eating fucking coconuts for a week. D'you think that's where Fundy got the idea for his campaign name?" The man replies, a matching grin on his face.
You don't know quite how to feel about their commentary, but-- at the very least it's funny, and you've heard the stories enough times to enjoy them. They seem to be having fun, too, and-- isn't that the point, of it all?
The man laughed at anything involving Jack Manifold, Tommyinnit's friend, and the woman seemed to pay no attention to the story of the baker-warrior Niki Nihachu. You aren't quite sure why. You always liked those stories, but-- well. Nothing's perfect for everyone.
The festival continues. You find yourself enjoying every moment of it, as you play games and sing songs and listen to the tales of L'Manburg. Here and there you spot the Captain, guiding people around and ensuring everything is moving smoothly. Her wool is dyed with L'Manburgian colors, as it is for every year.
You catch up with her properly, once, and ask her for a story. A real story about L'Manburg.
She tells the tale of a knight, too slow to protect the country the first time and too slow to protect it a second, but finally able to protect its legacy. She talks of how the knight set the captive heroes free, by protecting their legacy in their place. She talks about children, finally allowed to just live, because the knight swore to never let Doomsday happen again.
You don't quite understand how it connects with L'Manburg properly, but she's called away for the closing ceremonies before you get the chance to ask for more stories.
And as the final day comes to an end, you attend the closing ceremonies the same as everyone else.
They're led by Eret. They're always, always led by Eret. Every year, she tells the story of her involvement with L'Manburg, and of her work to repent for what she did to them so very long ago. And every year, he closes the speech with a simple enough request: to remember.
To remember what the country stood for-- freedom, and peace, and hope, and community.
To remember what happened to it-- to never let it happen again.
To remember their errors-- so that you can be better.
This year, ten years after the first Festival, she adds a new statement to her closing speech. A statement that you don't... quite understand the weight of, though the surface of it makes enough sense.
"I remember everything. I regret hurting my brethren, I have always regretted it. I know that you will never forgive me. I do not deserve to be forgiven. But I hope that-- that I have given you some amount of peace. The chance to live your own lives, comfortable and quiet and happy. I hope that you can heal. I hope that the ideals we fought for stand strong, and true."
Were you to look at the entire audience, you would have noticed the people you've been speaking to this entire time staring at Eret. The sad man with the sweater, holding his brothers' glasses tighter than ever. The fox just letting a soft laugh out, muttering under his breath that he'd forgiven her a long time ago. The woman with the pink hair and the man with the headset, exchanging thoughtful glances with each other and murmuring between themselves.
And with that, the Festival of Hope is over. The attendees begin to disperse, and you move back towards the transport to Snowchester with the rest of the kids you came with.
You're excited to see your family again. To go back to your quiet little community, and tell them all about your time at the Festival. About all the people you met, and the stories you heard.
To live your life, safe and happy and comfortable.
Just as they'd always hoped the people could.

I think my favourite type of headcannons are the ones which are entirely too specific, its an image in your brain that when shared others can picture it too.
Tommy
Wanted to learn how to fight with a sword like techno so forced techno to teach him but got so excited they had to force him down to a broom so he couldn't hurt anyone
Used to sit on a field in L'Manburg and make flower crown for everyone, the details of it correlated to how much he liked you
As a child he had an affinity for climbing; trees, walls, people. As the only avian in the house who couldn't fly he learnt any way to try and get on the same level as others
He and Tubbo gave each other braids when they where 15 as a way so solidify their friendship and commect them as brothers
Phil
Has a crow watching each one of his kids at all times to keep an eye on them
As angel of death he is fully aware of how long people have spent in limbo, when Wilbur died he kept track of every year and lit a candle to remember him on his death anniversary
Kristen lives in the void beneath bedrock and can't spend much time in the overworld so Phil spends alot of time in strongholds talking into the one way portal to let Kristen know how well her sons are doing
Similar to some cultures braids are really important to avains, Phil has braids from the day he married and one for each of his kids, from either the day they where born or the day they where adopted
After killing Wilbur he cut the second longest braid off and placed it in a box of items from Wills childhood. A pair of tiny socks, a yellow bandana and a folder of sheet music
Techno
Being a conduit for the blood god caused a lot of mental damage as a kid, often resulting in a mute Techno, so the whole sbi family learnt sign language for these moments
Apart from his family the only other person who has braided his hair was Ranboo, he got really attached to that kid and they used to absentmindedly play with Techno's hair during Syndicate meetings
Loves reading all kinds of book, surprisingly to most his favourite genre is romance, the beauty of true love and loving someone wholely spoke to his soul
All of his jewellery is gold, some parts of his piglin culture always stayed with him
Tubbo
Scars from the festival also included becoming partially deaf and blind on that side, but he handled it well due to his early leaning of sign language
Forced Wilbur to teach him how to play piano and it became a way the two bonded, just playing songs in Wilbur's bedroom
Once tried to bonk someone as a greeting with his horns like rams do and gave Tommy a concusion
The compass Ghostbur gave him had lengths of a red bandana he used to wear in the early days of L'Manburg, Ghostbur had found the red and green bandana in the ruins of a blown up city

Hey!! I saw that ur requests were open and i had something in mind if u dont mind
Could you do a s2 Jimmy Solidarity x reader who had previously died from the dsmp? Like after their canon death there, someone from the dsmp sent them off and into the empires, where they met and fell in love with the sheriff
Here you go!! This took a bit of a while to write xd. I apologize if this is not what you wanted.
(I had to rewatch the manburg festival bc I forgot what happened during that time.)
𝓢2!𝓢𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓽𝔂𝓖𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝔁 𝓖𝓝!𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻
My Sheriff ♡
Warnings: This oneshot will include the following: kissing, swearing, violence, panic attack, murder. If you're are not comfortable with these things the dni.
------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
Manburg's Festival was happening tomorrow. The ex-president and your brother figure, Wilbur was telling you not to join them in the war since you were on your last life. You 2 started arguing while the others were watching not sure if they should step in or not.
" You are not joining us [Name]! It's too risky!" Wilbur yelled at you, even if he was insane he still cared a lot for you.
" Will I'm not a child anymore! I can protect myself! Just because I'm on 1 life left doesn't mean I'll die out there!" You yelled back at Wilbur
" Should we stop them?" Tommy whispered to Technoblade
" Nahh, I wanna see how [Name] will win." Technoblade whispered back
You 2 were arguing for about 10 minutes until Wilbur decided to give up and let you join them.
" Fine [Nickname], but you better stay near one of us. Don't go running off fighting alone." Wilbur sighed, You lifted your fist in the air
" Don't worry Will, I won't!" You had said excitedly
The next day, you were getting ready for the festival making sure not to forget anything.
" Ok Enchanted Netherite armour, check! Enchanted Netherite sword, check! Golden Apples, check! Emergency Netherite Sword, check! Enchanted Netherite pickaxe, check! Enchanted Netherite axe, check! Potions, check! Bow and arrows, check! Trident, check! Now that should be everything!" You were happy since you didn't forget anything, you were also happy because your other brother figure, Technoblade was kind enough to supply you with some of the items you had just checked off. You heard loud knocking and yelling, you figured it was Tommy, your younger brother figure. You went to the door and opened it and saw Tommy, Tommy holding a excited and determined face.
" Are you ready [Nickname]?!" Tommy shouted excitedly, you chuckled
" Yes Tommy I am." you replied while slightly chuckling
" Well let's go woman!" Tommy pulled you running towards Pogtopia. You see you didn't really live in manburg nor did you live in any of the other nations, you were simply just outside all of the nations (though you originally lived in l'manburg you just moved out When Manburg became a thing). When you two arrived, you saw Wilbur and Technoblade talking with each other. You couldn't really hear them but you figured they were just talking about the plan.
" GUYS [Nickname]'S HERE!!" Tommy had yelled, the two looked over at Tommy and you. You waved at them and they went over to you two, Wilbur and Technoblade started bombarding you with questions such as: ' Are you fully ready? ', ' Are you sure you wanna do this? ', ' Do you have everything on you? ' ' Do I need to collect more stuff first? '. You sighed,
" I'm okay guys, You don't need to worry too much about me." You had said to them, they stopped talking and looking at each other with concerned faces. They then just shrugged and looked back at you,
" If you're really sure then." Technoblade said, Wilbur checked his watch and realized manburg's festival is gonna start soon.
" Well we better get going." Wilbur walked outside with the rest of you following him.
Once you arrived there, the 4 of you got off your horses. You and Technoblade went to where the festival was, while Tommy and Wilbur watched from afar. When you and Techno got there you immediately got tackled into a hug by none other than Tubbo, your other younger brother figure.
" [Nickname]!!! You're here!!!!" He said while grinning widely, you giggled and ruffled his hair
" I couldn't miss this chance to see you and my friends again." You hugged him back, you heard 2 gasps nearby. You looked and saw Niki and Fundy, Tubbo had pulled away then Niki and Fundy ran over to you and and hugged you while you almost stumbled
" [Name]!!! I can't believe you're here!" Niki said, Both of the two hugged you tighter.
" O-ok not too- tight I can't breathe-" You had said while trying to breathe, they immediately pulled away and asked if you were ok. You answered them it was fine, then Niki and Fundy made you and Techno follow them to play some games. Of course you and Techno started showing off your cool moves with your guys' tridents, you could hear Tommy and Wilbur mocking you and Techno through the earpiece you had and you sent them a death glare to where the said boys were hiding at they immediately stopped after.
After about half an hour it was time for Tubbo's speech, Tubbo had did your guys' sign language and he had signed his conversation with Tommy and Wilbur, You signed back signing that he should make his own decision and for him to really think about it. You guys smiled and nodded at each other, you and Techno went to sit beside each other. After a few minutes you heard the mic turn on and Schlatt started speaking in a weird voice, on the stage Tubbo can be seen trying to fix Schlatt's mic while in the audience Niki is just yelling at Schlatt.
You had a bored-looking expression on your face, Techno noticed and whispered to you if you were ok, you whispered back with a yep and Techno just nodded. After Schlatt's mic was fixed he started speaking about how he likes to make fun of Tubbo and you had frowned at that, but he did mention the fact that without Tubbo the festival wouldn't have happened, you felt proud of Tubbo for being this amazing to do something like this.
When Schlatt finished talking he let Tubbo speak and Techno yelled ' WOOO! STATE SECRETS! ' you nudged him and got him to stop, Tubbo then started his speech when he mentioned something Schlatt had said then everyone started cheering except you and Techno, Techno was yelling ' Boooooo! ' while you were just sitting there quietly.
" Schlatt has successfully washed all of the insects of our great nation! " Tubbo said, your eyes widened and you frowned
' The fuck is that supposed to mean Tubbo? ' You thought to yourself while Tubbo was continuing his speech
" Ladies and gentlemen I'd like you to look around - " Tubbo said before you cleared your throat loudly and raised your eyebrow, Tubbo realized and immediately corrected himself
" And others. As I was saying, I'd like you to look around at what we've built today, look at each other. All of this thanks to democracy and the leadership of Jschlatt! " Tubbo had said, you just rolled your eyes at the ending of his speech while everyone else was cheering
After a few more words you realized Tubbo was gonna say it, you leaned forward from your chair waiting for Tubbo to say it
" Let the festival Begin!" Tubbo had finally said it, your eyes widened and you smiled. You were kinda supportive of Manburg blowing up, sure you lived there but you didn't really mind since you were thinking the same as Wilbur, If we can't have it then, no one can.
You looked at where Wilbur and Tommy were and you saw Wilbur smiling and Tommy with wide eyes, Wilbur looked at you and you both nodded at each other knowing what Wilbur was about to do. You saw Wilbur run off to the button, you looked back at the stage seeing Schlatt and Quackity jailing Tubbo? You were confused but that changed when you heard Schlatt saying he knew Tubbo was working with Pogtopia, your eyes widened knowing what was going to happen to Tubbo.
You were panicking in the inside but somehow managed to now show it, Technoblade was called by Schlatt. You and Techno were confused but Techno went anyways, you were just watching him go to the stage. You looked away and saw Wilbur trying to find the button, you got your communicator out and texted Wilbur if he's okay; he replied immediately saying the button is gone, your eyes widened and you looked back at the stage to see Techno pointing his loaded crossbow at Tubbo. Schlatt was telling Techno to shoot Tubbo, you knew Techno was getting really pressured and the voices were probably telling him to do it. You were really nervous for Tubbo and was about to message Techno when you heard the fireworks. Your hands immediately covered your ears when all of a sudden you saw a firework going towards you, the last thing you saw was Techno carrying you while Tommy, Tubbo and Wilbur behind.
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
Meanwhile with Techno, Tubbo, Tommy and Wilbur....
-------------------------------------------
The 4 boys tried everything they can to see if you would wake up but it was no use, you were dead.
Tommy and Tubbo were sobbing while Niki was comforting them, Techno had tears in his eyes but couldn't be seen because of his mask, while Wilbur was just angry.
" WHY DID YOU SHOOT THEM TECHNO?! THEY WERE ON THEIR LAST LIFE!" Wilbur yelled at Techno, Techno looked towards Wilbur
" I DIDN'T MEAN TOO! I WAS UNDER PRESSURE!" Techno yelled back at him, Tommy stood up
" FIRST TUBBO THEN [NAME]?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TECHNO!?!" Tommy shouted while tears dropping from his eyes, Techno looked at him offended
" I TOLD YOU I WAS UNDER PRESSURE!" Techno had said angrily while tears also dropping from his eyes
The 3 started arguing with Wilbur and Tommy against Techno while Niki and Tubbo were trying to calm them down, what they didn't know was that something was going on with [Name].
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
With [Name]....
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
You woke up, you looked around and saw you were in a... Throne room?.... You stood up and looked around, until you heard a distorted voice
" Hello [Name].." you looked around and saw a figure, you couldn't tell who it was since they were wearing a Green Hood and a white mask over their face. You did notice that they had wings and what seems to be a halo.
" Who are you and how do you know my name? Also uhm, where am I?" you asked with a raised eyebrow
" To answer your questions, you are dead and you're in the underworld, I am DreamXD, God of life (or whatever he's the god of)." DREAMXD had said
" Wait I'm dead?" you asked
" Yes, You died from a firework. You were sent here because you're going to be sent somewhere else." XD replied, you were confused when he said that you were going to be sent somewhere else. That quickly changed when you started to get light-headed, the last thing you saw was XD reading a book and snapping his fingers. You passed out.
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
Moments later....
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
- U/N Joined the game. -
You landed on the ground while passed out, the Emperors/Empress' checked their commuincator and saw the notification. Everyone was confused on who was U/N.
Sheriff Jimmy offered to go to spawn to see who it is and the others agreed. Jimmy walked to spawn to see (h/c) person passed out on the ground, Jimmy rushed over to them and carried them. Jimmy then brought the person back to TumbleTown, The others were confused and concerned. Jimmy set the person down on a bed and Gem walked right beside the bed
" they don't seem familiar..." Gem said, she then checked the person's pulse and forhead.
" Though they're probably passed out, they'll wake up in a bit hopefully. Jimmy is it okay if they could stay with you for now?" Gem said while looking at Jimmy
" Of course." Jimmy replied and Gem nodded, a few moments later Gem and the other emperors went out of TumbleTown aside from Jimmy.
------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
Your eyes shot open and you looked around not knowing where you were, you heard the door open and saw a blonde(or whatever hair color jimmy has) man that had clothes of a sheriff. Your eyes widened and you started panicking, the sheriff noticed and ran towards you trying to calm you down.
" Hey hey.... It's okay..." He said hugging you, a few minutes later you calmed down. You then introduced yourself and the man introduced himself as Sheriff Jimmy or Jimmy. You two started chatting, you were telling Jimmy what had happened to you before you came here. Once you finished explaining you started to get hungry, Jimmy noticed that and mentioned he was going to get you food. Once Jimmy got the food ready you started eating while still talking to him, turns out you 2 have a lot of common interests. The next day you met the others and they were so friendly with you, Jimmy let you stay in TumbleTown since you hadn't built your empire yet. The next few weeks you got closer with everyone especially Jimmy, you were living with him afterall, slowly you may or may not have grown feelings for the sheriff.
As months went by you built your empire, [Choose whatever name you want for the empire]. The other rulers were really impressed with your empire, complementing it everytime they see it. Within those months your feelings towards Jimmy grew stronger, everytime you'd see him your face would have a slight pink tint. Gem and Katherine noticed this and started encouraging you to confess to the sheriff.
A few weeks later, you finally got the courage to confess to Jimmy. Coincidentally, Jimmy had asked you to hang out with him; you accepted and waited for when Jimmy was going to arrive. Once he arrived, you two went out and Jimmy brought you to a mountain where a picnic was set up. You teased him asking him if this was a date, he flushed but said indeed it is. You were surprised and flustered, that changed when you heard Jimmy saying if you were gonna join him or not. You of course sat down on the blanket, you 2 started eating while chatting. Once you 2 were finished eating, you noticed the Sun was setting and the view was just beautiful. You stood up and walked over at the edge of the hill and sat down, Jimmy did the same. You stared at the sunset amazed by the sight, you looked at Jimmy and saw he was staring at you softly. You two started staring at each other getting lost in each others eyes, until you two got snapped out of it and looked away flustered and embarrassed. You heard Jimmy sigh
" Hey [name] I uhm, have something to tell you." He said rubbing his neck, you looked at him
" I do too..." You replied
" How about we say what we wanna say together?.." He asked tilting his head, you nodded. You both took a deep breath
" I love you Jimmy/[Name]!" You both said in unison, both of your faces heated up when you realized what you both said. You stared at each other
" I- I love you too..." you both said in unison again, you both chuckled awkwardly. You two stood up and hugged each other, you slightly pulled away to look in Jimmy's eyes while Jimmy doing the same. You didn't notice but you and Jimmy were slowly getting close to each other, soon Jimmy just went for it and connected your lips together gently. Your eyes widened, but they soon closed as you both smiled in the kiss. Jimmy caressed your cheek while your arms snaked around his neck kissing him back, you two were just having a romantic moment when all of a sudden you hear multiple squealing and cheering. You both pulled away to see your's and jimmy's friends in bush cheering, they realized you two noticed them and their eyes had widened. They chuckled awkwardly and they all ran away, you and Jimmy looked back at each other and laughed. You then continued your romantic moment by kissing Jimmy and him kissing you back. You both pulled away and look into each others eyes lovingly, you shoved your head into his chest, he chuckled.
" Will you be my girlfriend [Name]?" Jimmy had said while you pulled away,
" I thought it was obvious silly but yes." You replied smiling at him, he grinned
" I love you dove.." He said holding you close
" I love you too.... My sheriff." you replied holding him close also
Your friends silently cheering and squealing while watching you two, turns out they never left.
You and Jimmy kissed each other again smiling lovingly in the kiss.
You two were just meant for each other. You were so glad to be sent to this server.
------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

I saw your tags in my post, tell me about your worldbuilding /nf
Ohhhh my gosh where to begin.
Okay.
Okay.
I delve into a LOT of world building. From the politics involved in L'manburg, Skyblock,and the different Empires, to how certain things in Las Nevadas work, to even delving into the lives of NPC's I created to flesh the world out more.
I go into food dishes, festivals, holidays! Hearth’s Warming is essentially Minecraft Christmas, except instead of Santa, Prime/XD gives presents to his followers, and there's also a present hunt, like an Easter egg hunt! There's also the quilts, the dolls, and the tree, which is in the center of wherever its being celebrated instead of in the house!
Each Empire on EmpiresSMP has their own rich history, including traditions, outfits, currency, and food. I love describing different outfits for different Empires. Thick furs in Rivendell, thin but breathable fabrics in Pixandria, the flexible fabric for The Ocean and Cod Empire!
There's how Hermits are essentially celebrities, and how involved the press is. How both Mayor Scar and President Tubbo were slandered by the media and paparazzi despite trying their best, and how there were political cartoons made of Tubbo depicting him as either a baby, or a carbon copy of Schlatt.
The mayor of Skyblock works directly with major political spheres like Empires, amd was working with L'manburg when they needed aid. Eret, Puffy, Red, Martyn, and now Quackity are the main figure heads for the DreamSMP, and are called the Doomsday Relief Housing Services. Martyn, who inherented Snowchester from Tubbo, has turned it into communal living, or Snowchester Housing Projects.
I go into pirates, and bandits, and how they work on Empires. There's no jails or police, so punishments are either community service, house arrest, or banishment for crimes. Really heinous crimes can be justification for execution, but that very rarely happens. There's no currency on Empires either, it's all trade.
The Moon Big of Hermitcraft 8 sent debris flying all over space, crashing into different servers. That's what created the crater Grian 'found' The Rift in on Season 9. Other pieces of debris turned into asteroids, and had to be dealt with by hand. DocM77 had a hand in helping, but without communication with the outside world except the landlines, it was really rare he purposefully ran into these chunks of rock floating in space.
There's literally so much more, but I highly recommend you read the series! The link us in my pinned, or if you want I can put it in replies! Have a nice day! - Patton

underrated election results stream moment is when tommy gives wilbur some diamond armor after they get run out of l'manburg and wilbur mentions how its the first time hes worn armor. okay maybe its not That underrated -thequackcity
I'm saving a lot of the Pogtopia asks I got for later but, because this one is from Election Night, I wanted to share it.
I'm going c!Crime-brained right now and claw at the walls to say how Tommy's first reaction, whenever he's concerned, is to try and get Wilbur to put on some damn armor. The war, election night, the festival and post festival moments and November 16th. Hell, even in the apology arc. Tommy sees shit could go badly and he tries to shove Wilbur in a set of armor.
But yeah, Wilbur post getting killed by Punz being willingly to listen to Tommy. Like, there was still hope at this point. He was willing to listen to the request because, in his head, they're now playing outside of the rules that they'd created. They weren't the noble revolutionaries or the sneaky politicians or charming scammers. They were going outside of that and that meant trying something new.
There's also something about how, after the shock and initial despair wore off, Wilbur seemed more energized about the thought of them fighting for something than he did that entire election arc. He fumbled during speeches and was willing to cheat and then he found himself, again, outnumbered with Tommy and he seemed excited. He had plans and ideas and hope and, yeah, he was willing to put on some armor for that.
It didn't last, but it was there.

According to Dream, L'Manberg had 24 hours to prepare for Doomsday (which ended up being 23.5). According to Tubbo, the explosions rained down for days. I see no reason to believe that there were stretches of weeks in between.
Regarding real vs. game time, the simplest explanation is to accept as canon only the timeframes that are outright stated in dialogue. If there is no statement, all guesses are valid. If there are contradictions, good fucking luck to us lmao
Here's the thing,
In the post I assume you're referring to, I was not talking about true canon. There's a number of posts/takes that try to treat L'Manburg as if it were an actual city state with a medium to large population in order to claim that Doomsday actually would've killed large numbers of people. I've seen this refereed to as "realistic" or "removing game mechanics". Frankly, I don't particularly agree with the idea that realistic = inventing a bunch of people that didn't exist before, but that's not the point. I was willing to take on that idea and examine it.
If we're talking about actual canon. Nobody died during doomsday, and it took 24 hours for preparation. There are no other non-canon people in L'Manburg. Like 10 people lived there, and all of them had plenty of time to remove any animals, things of value, or given minecraft mechanisms, literally their entire house could be fit in their pocket and moved 10 ft to the left.
If we're playing in the space of "Realism", then we have to run under the assumption that longer than 24 hours was given, because time in minecraft (and the things that you can accomplish in minecraft relative to the effort they would require in real life) passes differently.
Even just looking at Dream's obsidian grid, there's no way for someone to realistically leave the area, collect the materials required to build that, organize them, collect materials and potions required for battle (also adding any touches needed on the vault or other related projects), go back to L'Manburg, build the entire grid including setting up the TNT machines, then go ALL THE WAY TO TECHNO'S CABIN, meet up with them to prepare further and make sure his allies were doing well, and then head back to L'Manburg to get the Dog Army, ready all of them, and then attack. Also like, time for sleeping, eating, etc because you don't want to be going into a battle with no sleep or food. That's absolutely impossible in any remotely realistic setting. Honestly, without a horse, just getting up to Techno's cabin would likely take up his entire day, let alone getting back.
When we're trying to make this translation of time into "Realism", it makes more sense to use the direct translation of minecraft time. Hence, 24 hours ~ 2.4 months. That feels like a reasonable amount of time for Dream to collect his materials, build his grid, travel long distances and find his allies. You could shorten it a bit if you really wanted to, but even something along the timeline of a week still gives time for people to evacuate.
Like, any span of time in which Dream could reasonably build that huge ass grid and TNT machines is going to be more then enough time for anyone still living in L'Manburg to see it, take their stuff, and leave.
Not only that, but even if he had literally only given 24 hours warning to this imaginary population, people could've still effectively evacuated prior to the event. They could've seen him up on his grid and noped out of there.
Nobody had any chance to evacuate from Wilbur's explosion. There was no warning. Explicitly the opposite in fact. The festival would've lured lots of people, including lots of young children and their families, into L'Manburg.
The point of that post, was, and still is, that if you're going to try to make the analysis claim that "in a version of events where L'Manburg had a reasonable city-state population, the Doomsday Trio would've actually killed lots of people despite the evacuation period" you have to then accept and be okay with "Wilbur would've killed significantly more people than the Doomsday trio, without any warning or chance to evacuate, and including lots of children and families, when he decided to blow up the city.".
Obviously, everyone is totally allowed to have their own takes and AUs, but when discussing what's actually happened in canon, if you're going with the idea of non-canon populations, then you have to be willing to accept both. You can't pretend that the Doomsday trio would've killed people but Wilbur somehow wouldn't have.

Summary:
The last thing Technoblade remembers was spending time with his friends after the Syndicate rescued Dream from that inhumane prison called Pandora's Vault and beat Quackity and Sam into the ground. Now? Technoblade has somehow reincarnated into a show that some of Chat saw when they were alive, which makes no sense considering he still has 3 canon lives left and he is the Blood God. Stuck in a new world, Technoblade has to figure out what had happened and perhaps find a way home. And while he's at it, he might as well take down a corrupt government in the process.
Language: English
Words: 43,705
Chapters: 14/?
Chapter 14 is up. The lull after the Festival and before the next arc. Meetings are happening and Techno and Phil choose their Hero names.
This is probably the last chapter in a while since university starts again next week and, boy, is it gonna fuck me.

no one gets too much light liner notes
fic here if you haven't read it!
the title comes from the song As Many Candles as Possible by the mountain goats. the first verse especially makes me think of how c!tubbo approaches forgiveness, and was the inspiration for a lot of this fic, but i do also have a lot of feelings about the chorus and second verse and c!tubbo.
small detail: ranboo and ghostbur are around about the same amount of time because they're both splitting their time between L'manburg and the arctic!
the rocket launcher is brought up right at the beginning to introduce the general -- themes and era this fic is about. like, it is true to this era that tubbo has it in his inventory/enderchest while intending to move it to a barrel, but it's also in this fic as a signal: this fic is about the festival! tubbo is now the owner of this thing that is a symbol of his death at the festival!
c!tubbo is so interesting to me in his imitation of c!schlatt while he's president. the substance abuse is at least semi-canon-- after exiling tommy, he gets high (at 1:34:15), ditto when he discovers tommy's alive (clip). and of course everyone else is paralleling them-- tommy, quackity, and fundy all say tubbo acts "like schlatt" while president. this is definitely something tubbo is thinking about! and it's also something i think about a lot in regards to all of the manburg cabinet but especially tubbo (as president of NLM) and quackity (as president of LN).
there are actually two different tubbo-as-schlatt paralells going on here, one of which tubbo is thinking about and one of which ranboo is thinking about.
the first is: tubbo ordering tommy's exile as being equivalent to schlatt ordering tubbo's execution, in that neither of them directly killed their ~victim but their orders as president led to their death. this is what tubbo is thinking about throughout this whole section: he understands schlatt now because he sees himself as having done what schlatt did; he forgives schlatt because it'd be hypocritical not to. this is what tubbo feels incredibly, deeply guilty and fucked up about. he has picked up schlatt's bad habits and even as he takes part in them he's doing it from a place of being deeply traumatized by schlatt. he drinks whiskey to cope and as he does it he's thinking about what it smelled like on schlatt's breath while schlatt yelled at him. he is trying to justify schlatt's actions because he's trying to justify his own actions, but he still feels deeply guilty and miserable about them, because no matter how much he minimizes and ignores his own feelings he knows how much they hurt.
the second, which ranboo is panicking about, is: tubbo is getting a member of his cabinet to decorate a festival, and that member of his cabinet is a traitor/spy/friends with and feeding information and resources to the enemy. and tubbo is talking about how he understands executing that person!!!!! now, obviously, this is also a self-blame thing, where he blames himself rather than schlatt for killing him (and at times blames tommy rather than himself for exile! note that blaming dream for exile, while correct, is not really on his mental radar), but it's also deeply, deeply alarming to ranboo, who is trying to figure out if he's going to get killed. (tubbo does see the parallels here to some degree, but much less than ranboo does, and they're secondary in his mind to the parallels w tommy.)
speaking of ranboo's point of view on this conversation-- ranboo ... knows that tommy's alive. it is super uncomfortable for ranboo to be engaging with tubbo's guilt and grief about tommy's suicide, knowing that (a) tommy isn't actually dead, (b) he absolutely cannot tell tubbo this, because, well, see the previous bullet point!
on a different note-- we, the reader, know two things: (a) tommy isn't dead, tubbo hasn't killed him; and (b) when tubbo does in fact find out that ranboo is a traitor, he actively refuses to execute ranboo, even on quackity's urging, because he does not want to be like schlatt. tubbo and ranboo are both afraid of the parallels between tubbo and schlatt, but tubbo isn't, actually, schlatt. he may have picked up some unhealthy shit from his time in the cabinet--both unhealthy for himself and for his interactions w others--but he has not and will not do the thing that he spends this entire fic alternating between "beating himself up over" and "trying very hard to justify" (or, for that matter, the thing that ranboo spends the entire fic afraid of.)
also, i tried to sprinkle this in, tubbo is passively suicidal. he's passively suicidal throughout this whole era. you see this the most on doomsday and the disc finale but you also see it some in his conversation w ranboo the day before the green festival, which was a major inspiration for this fic. while he's talking to ranboo he consistently downplays his own death as Not A Big Deal! and while ranboo is, yes, panicky over what that means for himself, he is also deeply concerned for tubbo that tubbo doesn't value his own life very much.
the ending note of ranboo not decorating for a funeral is intended to be ambiguous between two possibilities: either ranboo forgot the whole conversation (cf: how Fucking Scared he is for it!), or ranboo remembers and is actively choosing not to decorate for a funeral because he knows that tommy's alive and hopes that tubbo will find this out soon. which is true? i didn't actually have an answer to this in mind while writing it. both. either. tubbo can't tell the difference, and neither can we.
(another complication to that line: decorating for a festival, after spending this much time talking about the manburg festival and tubbo's death, is decorating for a funeral.)
bonus fun fact: due to my timeline obsessions, this is set on a specific day: december 18, 2020.
