Tommy had a rough night. First, he had to walk through the cold arctic with nothing but a T-shirt, and then he had to fight the mobs that decided to come out at the very moment he was making the long hard trek to Tubbo and Ghostboo's house, leaving him very upset. He just needed a place to live for a few days until he was able to rebuild his house.
But the point is, Tommy was cold, tired, and injured. So excuse him if he started to cry, just a little bit on the way over.
By the time he arrived, Tommy was suffering from some symptoms of hypothermia. He wasn't thinking clearly and his brain felt fuzzy.
He finally got to Tubbo and Ghostboo's house. He managed to knock on the door before passing out on the porch.
Tubbo heard a light knocking accompanied by a loud thud, and rushed over to the door. He opened it to reveal a passed-out Tommy with blue fingers and lips.
Tubbo picked Tommy up, with lots of effort of course, and brought him to the couch, near where tubbo and his dead husband were spending time together attempting to sort through old enchantment books.
Tubbo set Tommy down carefully and signaled for Ghostboo to get some blankets for the youngest in the room.
Once Tommy was covered from head to toe in their thickest blanket, the husbands resumed their work on sorting, though checking on Tommy every few minutes.
Not too long after Tommy was laid down, he was forced awake from a nightmare. As he was struggling to get his breathing under control, Tubbo shot up from his place on the floor, rushing to aide the younger.
Once Tommy had calmed down his breathing, he finally registered how he was in Tubbo's house. Didn't he pass out on the porch?
Tubbo got Tommy some hot chocolate and asked if Tommy needed anything else. After Tommy quickly declined, just saying he needed a place to stay for a few days Tubbo went to join Ghostboo on the floor.
Just a few moments later, Tommy had downed the beverage and was nearly asleep. Unfortunately for Tommy, sorting enchantment books is very brutal on one's eyes, so Ghostboo was not having a good time.
Ghostboo let out a frustrated enderman sound, as he went to rub his eyes. He immediately stopped in his tracks when he heard a sound that nearly mimicked the one he made seconds ago. Eyes whipping around, looking for another enderman, Ghostboo let out a confused warble.
When he was met with the same warble again, he grew even more confused. Tubbo noticed his spouse's confusion and decided to explain what Ghostboo was hearing.
"That's Tommy. He's an avian hybrid, but I think he is a mockingbird or a parrot specifically. because of that, it calms him to mimic sounds that other hybrids make. He is super ashamed about it though, so he rarely does it anymore. I actually only think that he can't control it when he's really tired, so what he's doing now is involuntary." Tubbo notified his husband.
So they spent the next 30 minutes making hybrid noises just to hear Tommy mimic them, only ceasing when they learned he was doing it in his sleep.
So then they decided to cuddle up next to him on the couch, and within seconds, all three of them were asleep, and they had all gotten the best sleep of their lives.

canon is dead I rule the world. dsmp you are MINE
dsmpblrs ocs shared between the 5 (five) singular people that inhabit this fandom
I'm taking the chance to just talk about my personal dsmp au that is basically canon if you don't think about it
I don't think we as a community wrote enough about demon ctommy. he was always my favorite it just gives him this evil vibe that I think is sooo funny and I always see it in ctommy art but never in literally any fic. and that's fine but imp or whatever-he-is-Tommy will always be real in my heart. in my head he used to be a bird hybrid, but when he died for what was supposed to be the final time they took his fucking wings and gave him cunty demon horns and tail. Death made him emo. for the sake of this narrative his wings used to be white too. Pair this with religious ctommy and you get peak
ctubbo. I think about him a lot. I think personally he wears armor under his coat. You'd think it start to get hot under there, and it does. his solution is to just Never leave the Arctic.
At some point he started developing resting bitch face, because it used to just be resting (autistic face of neutrality) but now he kind of just looks tired all the time. Not like Tommy's rbf where he looks like he's kinda pissed and has a headache 24/7. but at least they're semi matching now. bff's!!! (?) I can't write too much about ctubbo because my cutbbo is like 20 billion contradictions stacked on itself. he's not as simple as my ctommy.
He doesn't wear the red bandana anymore but he can't tell you why and he's not insecure about the scar on his face but he's not proud of it either. I FORGOT TO DRAW CRANBOO AND HIS WEDDING RINGS IM AN ANTI WHAT THE HELLL okay ignoring that blunder, their wedding rings are meant to be on their horns 💔 you can't fucking see cranboos singular (1) horn because it's out of frame, they're too tall.
SPEAKONG OF CRANBOO!!!! snakes in his hair because Hahhaa hattte eye contact????? Medusa???? get it guys get it do you guys get jut
The snakes talk to him. Take that as you will. He's a chronic suit wearer and will literally not wear anything else unless it's under or over the suit. he would like to never try anything new ever he needs this constant in his life or everything will fall apart and the world will end. He knows how to kit up and wear armor but just as a joke he wears random bits of armor in places he literally needs it least. as a fashion statement. Tommy doesn't wear any armor usually bcz who gaf he's not doing that shit
in my perfect world the egg plot in dsmp actually got used better and becsme more than a background plot. it could've been everything. anyway my dsmp au is egg war las Nevadas craziness and I'm right goodnight
