#this is NOT about techno or niki

[simplepotatofarmer]

if we're going down the list of bad dsmp takes, i think the absolute worst one, the one that truly makes no sense and borders on disrespectful, the one that had me fighting in trenches was: the syndicate aren't friends.

as if the birthday party and all the bonding meant nothing. the mentorship, the careful way techno approached niki, everything about them spoke of people who cared about each other.

not to mention that we know what the cc's intended, that real life issues got in the way of most of the streams that were planned, but even without that, we saw it. we saw these characters come together.

and at the end of it all, they're together and happy because they're friends, they care about each other. no one can deny that.

#this was the take i fought against the most #i even interacted with that one blog which got me freaking dogpiled to the point i almost deleted this blog #and i did it because i cared so much about the story techno and the others were telling #dream smp #dsmp analysis #the syndicate #technoblade #philza #niki nihachu #ranboo

[rat-rosemary]

Dsmp au where post prison escape Tommy gets turned into a baby and Dream finds him and decides to raise him and when he goes around asking for advice/supplies people notice the baby looks a lot like Tommy, but instead of assuming it is actually Tommy they assume Philza knocked Dream up

#the dog barks #dreamwastaken #dream smp #philza #tommyinnit #dsmp au #dreblr #I mean... dream was in prison for a long time.... he could have been pregnant and they just didnt know #philza goes to the syndicate headquarters the next day and techno niki and ranboo are waiting with a slide show about safe sex #kristen is the only one who knows that thats Tommy and she wont tell anyone #Dream and Punz are actually doing a good job raising the baby together #dsmpshipping

curls up on my side. im thinking about pogtopia again. no im not okay thank you

#iam i am thinking about niki in manberg and wilbur and techno come past when schlatt takes her stuff and she is so excited #and then wilbur asks her to stay in manberg and she says yes of course #and then he and techno leave the call and leave manberg and she just goes very quiet for a minute

sunrise siblings

techno and niki grew up together in the nether, where their sounder is almost fully consumed by the rot. they run away with a few remaining kids. techno is the oldest, so he usually goes hunting while the others stay safe. he feels as though it's his responsibility to protect everyone since he was meant to become a brute. instincts and stuff. he's out hunting one day, then that day becomes two, then three, then forever and niki thinks she's lost her brother. years pass. most of the sounder has left or died by now, usually to the rot or ghast attacks. niki, the most experienced trader of them all, decides that if her brother, her best friend, is still alive, that he must be through the gate. he would've come back otherwise, right?

meanwhile techno is ruling an overworld empire, his partner by his side. and he has not forgotten about his sister, and he feels so, so guilty for leaving, but he was young. he wasn't intending to get captured. he fought in the arena for years, his skin now marred by endless strikes of the whip and the blade. phil saved him, and he is indebted, and he is grateful, and he loves his friend, the one who rescued him before he lost all semblance of sanity to the arena. the arena, which was never kind. the voices of his sounder, once the blood god's favorite, now in ruins, haunt his mind. and they call for blood, so he chases it.

niki steps through the portal, light brighter than that of the forests, or the ghasts, or anything she's ever seen before. the roof- is it a roof?- is a foreign color, so is the ground. there is no lava, but something different, flowing lakes and falls and rivers of some transparent substance. there are, not mushrooms but similar, things that shine like gold sprouting across the soft floor. she takes a few, wary at first, hoping that her brother will still love her, still accept her gifts and trinkets like he did long ago.

she does not find techno, not for a long time. but as she fears the rot setting in, she encounters a caravan who she has met once before, and they take her in, nursing her back to health. she travels with them for a while, though she never steps back into the nether. and when she stumbles upon the roots of a young rebellion, well, she finds some hidden part of her, the part that takes after her brother, calling out for blood and for glory.

years later, if she finds technoblade, she will pretend she does not know who he is, and when she is alone, she will cry. and if he almost dies one day, and if she reveals her identity then, and if they embrace for what seems like eternity, and if they slowly rebuild a long broken bond, that is not for us to know.

Fortitude: A C!Nikki Poem

notes: I’ve been perfecting this one! It’s based off of my second favorite Major Arcana card, Fortitude (or Strength).  The classic Rider-Waite illustration usually has a woman reaching for a lion that has closed its mouth, representing a mutually beneficial wisdom in both strength and tenderness. In other decks, this duality is represented in many ways. My herbalism deck has honey and garlic in various combinations.  and idk, Niki and Techno remind me of that card.  Anyhow, here’s the poem!

When you, the Baker, met the Poet,

Maybe you expected harmony and home,

With the best of the fire reserved for the hearth,

Because balance demands growth

And your fire has never consumed the bread before,

Blackened its surface,

Except this one time. 

And it only takes once. 

Lion’s main turned to flames

Burned your hands to the bone and

Your cries of pain were too small to hear.

A lot of his friends were just so loud, weren’t they.

That’s what you blamed, at first.

Always the screaming and yelling and swearing and fightingAnd explosions and fire, fire, fire,

Drowning out what should have been you,

The reason you chose not to sing anymore. 

But then the smoke burned your lungs

And you couldn’t sing even if you wanted to.

Then you were quieter than before.

Quieter and smaller and digging yourself deeper into your hole,

Safe because it was far from the sky,

Unfit to light a fire even for food. 

And then people found you

They had fire and explosions too, but

They still heard you even over their own laughter.

That’s when you knew that a man who loved words and freedom so

Should have known how to listen. 

And then the balance began to be struck

A Boar closed his mouth before you,

And you put the bread back in the brick oven

And lit a fire to be gentle and all-consuming,

And you started baking again.

well in my head there's a story where wilbur didn't leave tommy behind. or maybe he apologized, grew vulnerable for just a moment and finally said 'i'm sorry i hurt you' and they could both find peace from it. there's a story where tubbo heals from his grief or maybe manages to bring ranboo back and they can be a family again. there's a story where quackity finds success with his casino so Las Nevadas isn't always so empty or maybe karl gains control over his powers and memories and sapnap can sigh in relief knowing his people are okay. there's a story where sam managed to keep tommy safe or at least keeps dream locked away and he forgives himself for doing terrible things to save people. a story where jack and fundy and niki don't feel so left out and powerless and alone and a story where phil has his son alive, cracked and splintered and raw but alive, a story where technoblade can find peace knowing tyrannical governments are things of the past, a story where hannah finds her wings again, a story where captain puffy seeks her lost memories and crew, a story where eret discovers what the mystery of her own past is, a story where george finally wakes up from an endless dream, a story where friends are reunited and homes are rebuilt and the universe learns to read its own code and it talked about love. there's a story in my head where everyone gets a happy ending, or at least one more day of happiness, forever. the story ends with a happy ending, to me. it does to me

#text post #dream smp #dsmp #this is real and true btw. tommyinnit told me himself #adhfljsadhfjdsaflkdshf #dream doesnt count btw he is not included in this. his stanky ass can stay in the prison #gritting my teeth and banging the wall. we deserved closure!!! argh!!!! i wanted to see my cool streamers end their story god dammit!!! #the characters of the dsmp are always alive to me forever #techno is forever reading his book in a chair by the fireplace. phil is talking to wilbur in the other cottage #tubbo and ranboo always seek out tommy and they always get up to fun crazy things annoying people in the smp and laugh forever #purpled gets to rebuild his spaceship and connoreatspants finally gets a fucking house and karl gets cool time travel powers #quackity gets super rich btw. his casino blows up (figuratively) and wilbur is super jealous about it #jack and niki become like a team rocket duo for anarchy its true i know they told me #also if i believe in any ending for the smp its gotta be the ender dragon one #idk something so right about the smp ending with tubbo being the one to slay the dragon in the end. like yeah yeah #ctubbo went thru so much and his story is so hardcore. yea he deserved to slay a dragon and complete the end.as a treat <3

rain, blood, rivulets, runner, daughter, home, you

Regardless, Wilbur likes to come here a lot. It’s a pretty place, a few minutes walk from Pogtopia; it’s right in the wilderness, no buildings or houses or people around. Just grass, and dirt, and a few tiny flowers, and a lot of trees, and a big blue sky. Well, sometimes blue. Sometimes it’s kinda grey, and cloudy, and other times it cries small cold raindrops that splat into your eyes and make your clothes all damp and uncomfortable.

Wilbur doesn’t care if he gets wet, though. He’ll just come here anyway.

~~~

After several seconds of trying, Wilbur gives up, relaxing once more into this odd state of being. He realizes that his cheek hurts along with his neck, because his face is pressed firmly against this thing. It's probably stopping the blood flow right there.

AND!!!

For a moment, Wilbur's vision goes dark, and it takes several rasping breaths and hard blinks to rid it of black spots. Tommy is bleeding. There's blood on him. His eyes are closed. He's bleeding. He's completely still. He's bleeding. His eyes are closed. He's not moving. There's blood on him. There's blood on Tommy.

~~~

Nothing for rivulets!

~~~

Nothing for runner, either!

~~~

Dang. Nothing for daughter :0

~~~

After a few hours, Niki had stepped back, placed her hands on her hips, and looked around. She quite liked the place, if she was being perfectly honest. It felt cozy, similar to a home. It didn't feel like a company or an enterprise, devoid of emotion. No, it felt real. It felt personal. It felt like hers.

~~~

"You're so dramatic," Phil chokes out, chuckling.

AND!!!

"I'm fine," Wilbur assures, brushing off the hand that Phil didn't even realize had moved towards his son's chest. "I can stand on my own, Phil. You don't have to hold my hand."

~~~

Actually I’m gonna share a whole snippet from a story I genuinely forgot I’d started working on so aksvajdgsksgsh here ya go ⬇️

~~~

"Oh, mate... do you need water?" Phil glances at the table, finding a half-full glass of water just as Wilbur answers, "No."

"Are you hungry?"

Wilbur sighs again. "No. I just- Phil?"

"Yes?" Phil finds himself holding his breath.

Wilbur gazes at him for several seconds, and Phil notes with satisfaction that his eyes are no longer pink. His pupils are the usual rich-brown color that they aught to be.

Wilbur gives a slight shake of his head. "I want to go."

Phil stares. "You- go?"

"I want to get off of this couch. I want to get out of this cabin. I want to go, Phil. I want to-" Wilbur thrusts a hand forward, face twisting. "I want to go far away from this cursed land of snow, and never come back. I want to go outside."

Wilbur ends his rage-filled monologue, staring at his hands laid across his chest. His nostrils flare.

Phil watches him for a moment before dipping his head, beginning to shake with laughter.

Wilbur whips his head around to glare at him. "What?"

"You're so dramatic," Phil chokes out, chuckling.

"Wha- I've been confined in this place for weeks!"

"It's been four days, Wil."

Wilbur's eyes widen. Phil laughs harder.

"Only... only four days?" Wilbur questions, and Phil's laughter starts to subside when he hears how uncertain Wilbur sounds. "It hasn't even been a week? Only four days?"

"Yep." Phil nods. "A fever can really mess with your perception of time, can't it?"

Wilbur nods, at a loss for words. He stares back at his hands.

Phil chews on his lip. "You're feeling better, though. Right?"

"I guess."

Phil reaches forward, resting his palm on Wilbur's head. His son goes very still.

"You don't have a fever anymore. Still a little warm, but you're definitely getting better," Phil says, pulling his hand away. Wilbur relaxes instantly.

Phil feels a stab in his heart.

"Feeling- you said I'm better, right? So I can leave?"

"No."

Wilbur lets out a noise that sounds suspiciously like a whine. "But I'm better! You said so yourself, Phil! I'm doing better, see? Look, I can... I can stay at Tommy's, and he can keep on eye on me! Right?"

"No," Phil repeats, a small smile appearing on his face. "I'm not letting you leave until you've made a full recovery, Wilbur."

"But you said-"

"I said you're getting better. I never said that you were better. You still have a ways to go, mate."

Wilbur groans, letting his head fall onto his pillow in dramatic fashion. He squeezes his eyes shut. "I don't think I can survive like this much longer."

Phil chuckles, but his brow furrows with concern. "You're not going to be like this much longer. A week, at most."

"A week?" Wilbur's eyes snap open, and he cranes his head around to stare at Phil. "No. You're joking. Please tell me you're joking."

Phil opens and closes his mouth. "I mean... I'm not. You had a really bad infection, mate. You can't just heal from that overnight."

Wilbur stares for a couple seconds longer before laying his head back on his pillow, gazing up at the ceiling. He looks haunted—no. He looks scared.

Phil sighs. "It'll be okay, Wil. You'll get through this. Alright? Just trust me on that. You'll be fine."

Wilbur tries to hide it, but Phil can see how his breathing picks up; how his chest rises and falls with increasing speed; how his nostrils flare; how his eyebrows knit together in quick, barely perceptible movements.

Wilbur's starting to panic. And Phil doesn't know why. It's not like he's being held hostage or anything; he's just on bedrest. Nothing more. He's not trapped. He's not stuck. He's not-

Oh.

#the first one is from a (rare) sickfic type… thing #I don’t actually know where it’s going to go or how it’ll end BUT it has Techno in it!! #he’s fun to write but also so darn TRICKY man #the next two… well. this story has multiple lines with ‘blood’ lol #it’s a very sad fic #I JUST HAVE A FEW SHORT LINES TO GO UNTIL THE FIRST CHAPTER IS FINISHED #AAAAAAAAAH #Niki-centric fic :D #she’s super fun to write my goodness #SAND DUOOOOOOOO #gosh I forgot about this fic #I think I started writing it in… December or something? perhaps?? #and then I completely lost inspiration and ran into a crisis with the plot lol #so I don’t know when the heck that’ll be finished #anyway yeahhh :) #ask #ask game answers #story snippet #my stories #c!philza #wilbur soot #c!wilbur #sand duo #oh and the first snippet is from Tommy’s POV by the way lol #he’s just thinking about Wilbur

[tsui-no-sora]

Ender dragon hybrid cDream.

Ender Dragon c!Dream who's been in this world and met every player who sealed off his own dimension and forced himself to live far away from everything he ever knew because he thought it was for the best who knows it was for the best seeing the state of the rest of the server

Who brought his little brother Ranboo with him and now has to live with his brother not even really knowing who he is at all with Ranboo not even remembering how he sounds like crearly anymore

But they know each other so he still trusts him so he still watches as Ranboo gets killed in public and nobody seems to really care

Who has to wear the mask everyday because he doesn't know what will happen if people get to see his fangs and his eyes and his tail and his wings he does know actually he's been haunted before actually how could anyone ever forget actually

C!Dream who gets his mask torn off him by c!Sam the second he enters the jail who knows he's being looked at like an object in a bank like something to be traded and gained something out of because it wouldn't even be the first time

C!Dream who bits his inner dry cheek as c!Quackity tears his shears against his wings taking scales off little by little showing them off who watches as Quackity puts beside his two wedding rings one of his pierced fangs

Who looks at Quackity's own pitiful and small and useless wings and can't figure how a person can do this to another person but of course he knows right it's all a pragmatic movement to get what you want yes he can see that he does it too

C!Dream who desperately wants to fly who isn't meant to be on such a small little space nobody is meant to be here he thought he would be okay here he's so hungry all the time

C!Dream who feels like a finally caught exhibition like a moth left to croak on The Warden's walls wings nailed down behind him looking at the glass in front of him and knowing he's done for because no way nobody is ever coming back to this place anymore

C!Dream who allows himself to feel that easy to kill hope once more as they run away from the prison after somebody does come for him and then c!Dream who has to grapple his heavy broken wings around him in the middle of the tundra after c!Techno tells him the favour is repaid now because even trying to fly is far too much to bear by now

C!Dream who wraps his tail around himself in the prison even know that he has the keys and now he doesn't even feel comfortable with the mask on anymore even after c!Punz repaired it and gave it back to him c!Dream who scoots a little bit closer to the red burning sparkling lava in front of him for some sort of heat

#on a happier universe i would also reccomend thinking about c!Dream who sits besides c!Philza and talk about their wings together #who races with c!Techno and who hugs c!Ranboo and Michael under his wings after they are introduced to each other #and who makes an old speciality from the end to c!Niki as a thank you for accepting him into the syndicate even through everything #sorry my original plan was writing an actual fic about this but i couldn't so here you go have this instead #also hi percy do you have any headcanons for ender dragon c!Dream #i also headcanon o!dream as an ender dragon actually #and sorry if this isnt what you wanted as a response its just what came to mind #beloved's asks #percy tag #love talking with you

[protesliaus]

i haven’t watched dsmp since techno last streamed on it and this might be a lot to ask for, considering everything but the only thing i hope from it now is c!techno’s will being read

maybe it’s because i miss the syndicate or maybe it’s the bedrock bros brainrotter in me that i truly do think it will give his character, that many of us love so vehemently and techno so meticulously and beautifully created, some semblance of a closure/conclusion

#also the fact that an incredibly poignant will that techno HIMSELF wrote for this character just feels fitting at this time #c!niki and c!ranboo and c!tommy knowing how much he loved and believed in them would be everything honestly #although ofcourse i will respect however the other members choose to go about with his character #this is just what i personally felt like at the moment #tw death #technoblade #c!techno #dream smp #dsmp

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

R you aware of what Techno said on Twitter before Doomsday? He explicitly told Niki, Vikkstar, and Ranboo to stay away from NLM the coming day like my piggy ouuauauua

Omg I didn't know about that at all I love that

#I've never been on twitter and joined the fandom super late anyways #so idk just about anything that was said on twitter #but omg techno looking out for them all — even Niki already...! #me answering asks #dsmp doomsday #thanks graphite!

[faebriel]

calling out sick bc i thought about niki finding the tnt underneath the podium on nov 16 and quietly replacing the dirt that covered it again

#'its 2023' shhh. shh now #i just. clenches fist. it's about trust rainduo is about trust trusting each other even when it feels like everything is going wrong #and then repeatedly proving to each other why they don't deserve that trust. why they haven't earned it #niki thinks wilbur left her there essentially to die and she saw him encourage tommy and techno's punch up and those messy final minutes of #pogtopia but she left the tnt there anyway. and she didn't say a word because despite it all she trusted him not to pull the trigger #because she trusts him and he's her friend and she loves him and that was the easy way out. because trusting wilbur was so easy #and wilbur just constantly trusts that niki has her shit together when she doesn't. she'll be fine in manburg! she's /niki/ #he dies and comes back and he cant bring himself to face her because he thinks she's so much better than he is #he trusts her word her judgement her character so highly #but she burned out. she did shitty things. she really hurt people and people he cares about no less #he blows up l'manberg but she'll be fine. he puts her on a pedestal that she hasn't earned #(holds head in hands) AOUGHHHH

[dyketubbo]

i think itd be nice if with the idea that ctechno left to finally, truly retire he gives his crown and cape (whether to phil or to ranboo or niki or tommy or whoever) and wears a lavender flower crown or something instead. like the ribbons

#prolly crown to ranboo and cape to tommy but like. i think hed still have his final conversations with niki and of course phil #i dont know. thinking about how hes not going to be able to create again #sometimes its nice to be able to give an ending in someone elses place. a nice ending #technoblade #dsmp #techno #even if it isnt the most narratively satisfying ending i think itd be nice. #if ctechno got to rest too #have his final conversations with people like tubbo and quackity and whoever. wrap up loose ends #and be able to go on with life #even if cctechno cant go on with his anymore #yknow? #mask mews

[simplepotatofarmer]

i'm doing my best to learn how to draw because there's so many moments from my aac au series i want to draw.

#like niki and dream baking together.... telling him he can try again..... #techno fixing dream's hair for him #phil and niki making the grave. all the hugs. #all the parts with michael!!!! #loyal talks about stuff and things
