#you are not immune to anime techno

Ok, so I’ve been piecing the zombie au together in my brain from reading everything under the tag and I have some questions (but I can only remember one at the moment lol).
It takes a year for Wilbur (and Phil) to find Kristin, Tommy and Techno right? And Wilbur doesn’t know he’s immune until he’s bit protecting Tommy. What I was wondering was how was Wilbur able to stay alive for long? I assume he met up with some other survivors at points, but there had to be big chunks of time when he was by himself (especially with his dad being a zombie and Wilbur not trusting that other survivors won’t hurt Phil). Like how did him manage to survive on his own and avoid a whole bunch of zombies?
(I hope this makes sense)
(also I’m loving this au :) )
It's very easy to hide out in the woods, especially when you have a rotting corpse that follows you around and scares away most of the animals around. Another benefit to having a zombie for a companion is it's easier to stay under the radar of other zombies, at least from a distance. While he wouldn't be able to blend in in a crowd, he could probably go through a town unscathed as long as he's quick about it. There are moments where he had to pull a bit of a kaz brekker, which is a bit too intense to fully elaborate on so I'll leave it at that. Iykyk haha

hello, its me again I'm going to give you rabbit facts. - rabbits don't like carrots that much actually, having too many can actually hurt their immune systems, its amazing as a treat though, Usually they prefer greens, like Lettuce or Celery, And the tops of carrots are their favorites. - they can pass out from fear / fall over, or even, die from it. - Rabbits are very sensitive creatures and need a based diet with fruits, vegetables and most preferably store made kibble. If their diet is interrupted, or say they only get potatoes for multiple months, that can lead to lots of issues for the rabbit and lead to problems with their stomach, or even problems with their movement skills, since rabbits need a very special diet! - Rabbits love cuddling eachother, they love affection in general, rabbits will rub their noses together as affection, or even play fight / chase eachother around, rabbits that are bonded will groom/clean eachother regularly and cuddle at bedtime, they need someone to have with them or they will become lonely and depressed, if their rabbit friend suddenly disappears they will also get sad and grieve, a good way to keep a rabbit from being depressed is giving them a stuffed animal that resembles a rabbit that has furr they can clean or mimic grooming with, and cuddle. They're very social creatures. - Rabbits feet are very sensitive, they need to have a place to stand on that isn't hot or hard on the feet, like, wood as an example, usually cages with bottoms that are empty have wooden platforms for the rabbit to stand on, since without those they can get soles on their feet, or they can loose some motor skills. - Rabbits ears are very sensitive, they need to be cleaned regularly by either the rabbit itself or their mate, If not cleaned regularly they will get infections easily, which are nasty. - Rabbits do not like ducks. - Rabbits usually have a lot of energy and are very agile creatures, being in a cage all day is very bad for them if they cannot run around enough, letting them out of the cage is good for them and letting them run around your house or outside is something that can keep your rabbit healthy and happy. - Rabbits are very prone to overheating. - Again with the potato thing, usually with my experience atleast rabbits aren't very fond of potatoes, they prefer more green vegetables, my rabbits always chose lettuce or celery over potatoes, even strawberries. Or any other plant i offered. i love rabbits if you want more lmk
so what I’m hearing is that Pandora’s vault,,, might not be the most enriching environment for rabbits lol
but as for rabbit hybrid c!dream god,,, it would be fucking tragic that hey, even if c!q didn’t particularly target mobility or his feet or burn him, just the mere fact of being in Pandora’s vault is doing permanent damage. Torture made it worse, but some of the hardest to recover from things are just collateral damage of the prolonged suffering imprisonment in a lava box and malnourishment/starvation do to someone
also hhhh c!punz/c!techno/someone tenderly bandaging damaged feet/ears that c!dream just got so used to ignoring… a wound left to fester so long, it’s become part of you… a mark for c!sam to be proud of

George Cinnabar Rambling
a basic summary of his character from me in discord:
Tumblr media
that's also your warning for drug usage implications.
Summary: George spends 99% of his time at Dreams side, as both a companion and a calming aid. As Dream has never had good control over his emotions (Primarily angry outburst that are not befitting of a diamond.) George rarely is seen not at Dreams side, and when he IS, he manages to spook every single other gem (on accident/not on purpose) due to his gangly size and form, and Due to being very quite in both movement and voice, never calling out to greet other gems when alone.
Post wars, when Diamond Dream gets put in the prison (Spoilers for the au LOL.) and George has actual unopposed alone time, where he's not just waiting for Dream to return, poor guy doesn't know what to do with himself! George spent all the thousands of years of his existence attending Dream, only focusing on Dreams wants and needs and simply not thinking of himself that he is just clueless on what do to with himself. Sapnap guides him through some of self realization and wants, but Sapnap also pushes the point of "I cant tell you what you want to do or need, George" George eventually finds himself primarily enjoying a comfortable spot in the woods where he can lay for days and just watch the sky. Somewhere far from where they'd been building, alone and undisturbed, except from the occasional beast that would wander up to George to sniff him or inspect him, then George would watch the beast until it wandered off. Sometimes beasts that became familiar and comfortable with his presence would rest beside him in the sun, curled up against his side. The fungus his spores grow is edible to beasts, and it has grown around his resting spot. It doesn't cause the same intoxication effect as it has on the gems, but does cause a calming effect. Meaning animals that eat a few of these fungus are far more confident and calm around George, and when they curl up in his comfortable spot he's made beside him, they rarely react to him touching (petting) them besides the initial gentle startle and glance from his touch.
Georges Powers Description: He fungal boy. He can create spores for shrooms, that he can either grow intentionally once they've landed, allow to grow naturally, or when they are inhaled by other gems, cause an intoxicated effect that usually causes a calmness about them. George is immune to this effect of his spores.
George Physical Description: George is very tall and lean, and i think is currently going to be the tallest gem on the colony. He's not terrible at physical combat, but doesn't have much training and often is to sit out with Fundy when Dreams court combat trains. George is a big gangly, arms and legs very long, smaller torso. When he walks with Dream, he keeps his hands clasped together on his chest chest just below his diamond shaped collar. When alone, he walks with them at his side, he looks like (Endermen) the similarly lengthy black scaled beasts that roam this planet in dim light. Also i think im removing his nose from his design. i am retconning his nose if you see old art with him having a nose, no you dont.
George's job Description: George was specifically created by pink diamond to be given to Dream very early on in Gem society. George is the third oldest gem on the colony, with Dream as the oldest and Techno being a close second. He is meant Comfort and Calm Dream, either with words or his Spores. Also to entertain and counsel Dream, mostly in a way of having Dream voice his thoughts to George and work himself into his own decisions. Doodles of George below the cut
some of these are from last year when i started the au. the above mention of the nose retcon is still true you do not see it
Pencil drawings are from 3/13/24 (when this post is written lol) the blue pend page and the digital doodle are from last year

so for uh. Reasons (adhd go brr) i have been reading about biological immunity and how different animals can be biologically immune. and for Reasons (again, adhd go brr) of course i have to blorboify my newfound knowledge.
did you know there’s a type of jellyfish called the immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) that’s biologically immortal? through a funky little process called transdifferentiation, these jellyfish essentially revert back to a juvenile form when overly stressed, hurt, or old (im simplifying it a lot okay im an english major not a biologist).
cphil. he is immortal but we know he can still, theoretically, die. he’s biologically immortal, so what if he works like this one funky wee jellyfish that is also biologically immortal? it doesnt happen often but just imagine, cphil turning back into a child when the time is right.
cphil is near fatally wounded in battle. techno carries him home and does what he can but it’s bad. phil assures him he’ll be fine, and techno really does try to believe him. phil’s lived this long after all so he should trust him.
he trusts him, but when he wakes up to a fluffy feathered blond kid who doesnt even come up to his waist, this was not what techno expected when phil said he’d be fine.
its not reversible. techno now has to live with kidza, and if he thought phil was chaotic before, it is nothing compared to now.

I am probably overthinking things but here's a rant motivated by this post (or rather, some of its responses) (tw: some discussion of ACAB, nothing explicit):
Does ACAB apply to the Heroes?
In real life, cops are bastards because they exist to enforce an oppressive status quo, and are rewarded for their bastardry with functional immunity from the same laws they are supposed to uphold.
In Hero Factory... it's complicated. Yes, the corporation has the Heroes cooperate with local law enforcement in many cases (for example, Stormer's buddy buddy relationship with the cop in ep3), but it is a private corporation, and given the whole Galactic Conspiracy plotline in the late books before it all got cancelled, this doesn't seem to be a universal thing. Hero Factory exists, in-universe, to deal with the growing supervillain problem, which could be tangentially regarded as law enforcement, but only in cases where local enforcement is unable to handle it (like all the acid spitting weirdos). Hero Factory Incorporated gives the impression of a private emergency services company, rather than necessarily a law enforcement agency (at least in my opinion). They even have dispatchers like a 911 call center.
Also, the franchise likes to blur the lines between "person" and "thing." One of the most obvious examples I can think of is how the robots all refer to the techno-organic species in Savage Planet as "animals" and "wildlife," despite many of them being sapient and perfectly capable of speech. There's also how they treat their own: Daniella Capricorn literally refers to her camera bot as her "mindless slave," and nobody seems to bat an eye at that, and the Fire Lord and his crew became that way because of an ill-advised "upgrade" that was intended to increase their efficiency, presumably by the company that made them for mining.
The Heroes are considered "people," but also products. They are advertised to the public in showcases and commercials, they are maintained by the company that produced them, and when they wear out, they're sent off to live elsewhere to fulfill a similar role. I don't think they're really allowed to decide what they want to do with their lives, because most that do wind up becoming Villains, if Core Hunter and Von Nebula are any indication.
Presumably, this sort of universal dehumanization is why things like Furno zapping a prisoner in episode 1, Stormer dismantling their radio guy for insulting him in Hero Factory FM, and other instances of "police brutality" in the franchise isn't really treated seriously in-universe. They're robots, they can be repaired and replaced if need be, who cares if they get hurt?
Honestly, on a Doylist level, it's obviously just regular children's copaganda. You're not supposed to think too deeply about the implications about the metaphorical cops literally being owned by a private corporation, who engage in casual acts of excessive force and brutality for the sake of a laugh, and how just about everyone in the setting gets all kinds of roughed up on the regular because they're robots so it's fine.
I don't know where I'm going with this. I did mistake Surge for a girl when I first looked up HF on tumblr and saw the HRT post, so gender stuff with him is absolutely on the menu in my mind. But also, I'm not sure if he'd be allowed at Pride. I guess it depends on where you draw the line. I stayed up way too late rambling about robot philosophy.

hey! it's been a while since i asked anything on here, but i just had a few curiosities and hypotheticals that i was wondering about, so i figured i'd actually ask them on here for once ^^
1. (// slight atol spoilers) would thaw!george be like atol!george in that he's also actually the cc? and if so, why hasn't XD gotten bored of him yet in this timeline? is george even going to be in thaw? i feel like he will be eventually, solely bc he was also included under thaw in that one age post of yours, but idk maybe i'm wrong.
2. how did soot magically dip? right now i can only think of ender pearls and transport portals as the ways people can teleport to places in your world, but it hasn't been confirmed what he actually did in thaw. are there any other ways? did he use a transport portal, some kind of stasis chamber(seems unlikely, but i'm covering all my bases yk), or something else? also, i don't think i asked this before, but what is a transport portal? how would you go about obtaining one? and how does it actually work? does it need runes, bc i think i recall tbom!wilbur mentioning rune work when he got one from techno? if so and if that is what they used, did philza help with those ones too?
3. what did philza see in tommy in the latest theseus' home chapter? because it definitely isn't like what q sees. we saw tbom!philza look into wilbur's soul that one time, and it was very different from what q sees. like, ig it still showed the danger that the dark blue would show q if he knew about the significance of the magic color, just in a different, more explicit and detailed way for philza. but what was it like for thiloas(is that the right abbreviation?)!tommy? how is thaw!theseus' soul different from tbom!wilbur's? from thaw!tommy's? how does philza even peer into people's souls to begin with, like, does he have to stare into their eyes, or just stare at them in general (i'm sticking w staring so much bc of how big of a deal it seemed to be in theseus' home, maybe that's misguided of me though idk)? also why did he only get to see tbom!wilbur's soul for the first time in that moment when he looked into his eyes, what was stopping him before?
4. i also have some follow-up questions on illusions... like, what does it feel like to be under an illusion? is it uncomfortable at all? weird? and also what are they like when the illusion is of a different species? obviously, thaw!soot was just pretending to be himself but younger so we didn't see this with him, but if some hypothetical human were to put on an illusion of, say, fundy, would they get his heightened hybrid senses and the ability to shift as well, maybe by using up extra magic? or do they still only have human abilities and just look like they don't to the outside world? just how similar are illusions to the sky gods changing the ccs to be more physically and physiologically similar to their characters (besides the latter not requiring any runes or magic)? and this may be a stupid question, but are there any limits to animal/mob illusions? like, would i be able to be under the illusion of just a normal fucking bird if i wanted to? but then, if there are limits, then where's the line? would people be able to pretend to be sam or slime, or would they be immune to that because they're technically mobs too?
i have so many more, but i think these are the least spoilery to ask on here, so i'm saving the rest for later/elsewehere. feel free not to answer things though if you don't want to give something away, idm :]
thank you for writing, i hope that you're doing well ^_^
(i tried sending this a couple days ago, but tumblr said it failed :/ so hopefully it works this time..!)
It has been ^^ it's okay though ^^
To answer your questions:
1. This is a thing of the way I write my version of George's character, he's always both c! and CC! because of the fact that XD found it interesting to see what would happen if they did so. (Though in contrary of AToL, George isn't aware that what's happening is not only incredibly vivid dreams)As for why the Guardian hasn't gotten bored yet, that's because Chaos keeps happening, in AToL thing resolved in a manner that turned the dsmp story in a much less Chaotic story for XD's tastes, while in thaw the story just followed canon(of course with my adjustments to make the events realistic). George will appear once Quackity's ex-fiances show up.
2. Soot used a Transport Portal to leave LN. As for other instant transport methods there really aren't many in my universe, because the ones that exist are very complicated on the magic aspect and also if one gets their rune work wrong can be dangerous.
A Transport Portal is a crystal that has been bound to a location using rune work and using some slightly modified runes similar to those that allow opening portals to the nether dimension, it transport people instantaneously to the location the crystal was bound to once it's shattered.
Usually their are made by those that will use them if they are good with rune working but one can buy an unprimed crystal from an Alchemist (though here come in play the possibile danger of the alchemist wasn't too good with the runes).
Wilbur made his own with some help to Philza to pour enough magic into it(since he couldn't deplete is own for Illusion purposes)
3. For the first three questions you'll have to wait and see, sorry ^^". As for how Philza peers into people souls, it's an ability of his coming from his Angelhood, Angels always see people less like they appear physically and more in the way their soul looks. But because Philza is a Fallen Angel, he has lost the ability to see them all the time, instead he has to look into someone's eyes to be able to.
In TBOM, the reason why he hadn't done so before was because he was in denial over the fact that seeing souls was not as natural for him anymore.
4. Illusions are pretty interesting and as for what you can cloak yourself as there is virtually no limit, though as it is an illusion everything you can do in your 'new' for his limited to what you could already do normally. So for example: if you cloaked yourself in the Illusion of a bird, you'd look like a bird to everyone around you, yes, but you can't chirp if you don't already know how, nor you could fly or stand on a thin branch as your body weight is unchanged and people are much heavier than birds.
As for the question about if someone pretended to be Fundy, that is an interesting one, because virtually if they are good enough with runes(and not scared of the pain) they could make one complex enough to make it seem like they are shapeshifting... But that would require an unnatural amount of magic to keep up so it's practically impossible.
As for how it feels, being cloaked under an Illusion, feels kind of as if you had a film over your skin, it isn't uncomfortable per se but it isn't the most comfortable experience.
Hope the answers are satisfactory and sorry for taking so long to answer ^^"
Thank you for your questions, and I've been doing okay enough, just got sick .-. but otherwise all alright.
I hope you are doing well too and have a good day/evening/night^^

IS SHAKEN OHMTNGM......... I WILL... DOODLEIT SOON AND FIND ! OUT WHAT WORKS SITS DOWN TO YOU!!!!!! SHARE UR CTOMMY HEADCANONS ALL OF THEM RN!!!!!
YIPPIE!!!!!!!! OK OK i will share ctommy hcs i have ^_^ all of them that I remember At Least..
so ok. tommy possum.. obviously.. ive made certain posts talking about some aspects OBV so u might've read some of these before but oh well. ill start off first with how possums tend to live in other animals' burrows and holes - which fun fact for u, armadillos are pretty chill with possums staying in their dens with them :)! they also live under patios and in garages, anything of that sort that they can get into. that whole fact I display the entire bedrock bros era; Tommy living under techno's house/in his basement .. also I feel like it could also be used for pogtopia (while it isn't a burrow made by someone, it still is a hole that he didn't make So..) and whatever the fucking era is where ctommy and csapnap teamed up and they made base in ctubbos old house. But those are more iffy I feel
Possums are actually pretty social animals, they're /shy/ - in a way -but they like being near people. adult possums are seen being friendly with other adult possums and along with some other animals (+humans, but just because humans mean they're near food yknow, but it counts!) possums are also very cuddly, they cuddle with other possums for protection and for affection :) I just think ctommy doing that is Cute... like himm a ctubbo... Yes
i mentioned this in last ask so this will be quick but possums use their tails as another limb basically - use them to climb and hang in places (however not for long, the babies cant often hold their body weight) this one for ctommy I feel he'd use it to be sneaky and steal shit. probably most times its obvious he does it just because he wants to stir something up (for fun! its harmless. probably ^_^)
two even shorter points. possums make weird ass noises. just compare it to any weird ass noise tommy makes. point over Bye (here's some videos of possum noises btw; one , two ) ; second point is possums are protective of their family/things. Enough said, once again !
okay this one is gonna be a jumble of a few, so bear with me here. possums cant control when they play dead, it happens when they feel a lot of anxiety/when they panic when some predator or just anyone they don't wanna deal with gets too close. playing dead can last a few hours and they normally Smell dead too... which, smelly ctommy and smelly cwilbur icons Ig. Gotta 4ever match. BASICALLY whole point is ctommy playing dead in exile (maybbee that's why he wakes up in the water a lot.. ctommy plays dead - cdream sorta just shoves him into the water assuming he'll wake up sooner then Leaves. Because yknow. he's cdream) - next point in this one, sorry ull have to learn about cdream hc also but it'll be fast. CDREAM ! he is a rattlesnake hybrid to me, for a few reasons (did u know there's green rattlesnakes?) but one of them is possums are immune to rattlesnake vemon! (also scorpion venom, if you wanted to know) - that's important because my idea with these hcs is along with cdream not being able to get ctommy to listen, he cant Threaten him with venom - or drug him slightly with it, i guess - so exile happens. Yada Yada

SLAMS DOOR OPEN. HELLO. infection is here please enjoy this (pasted from drafts. i didn't re read any of this I'm gonna hope it makes sense ^^)
ctommy is a possum hybrid because possums. I'm gonna have to give you animal facts for these I'm sorry they're just needed for these to make sense,, Possums often make homes under porches and in garages, etc, which.. ctommy with ctechno that whole era. Possums are protective of people! or well their family so (ctubbo, cwilbur, anyone u can think of that ctommy has stood up for, yknow) and they're protective of themselves (cut to every time ctommy has defended himself against anyone). Possums make really weird sounds, like look it up, then compare it to any weird-ass noise Tommy has made. that's it I don't need to say more. They use their tail as a fourth limb, using it to hang on things, I like to use that and go "hmm ctommy uses his tail to steal things behind his back", it makes sense okay
quick ones that I just wont explain: social animals, agile, possums can't control when they play dead and when they play dead they actually smell like, well, death. Possums are immune to snake venom, this is important for my cdream hc
so cdream! he's a naga/rattlesnake hybrid. The ENTIRE exile arc happens because well cdream cant control ctommy, with the others, a quick rattle (and probably like... him threatening them) he can get everyone to listen to him or at least comply-- he's no ctechno but he has power on the server, obviously. no one else is immune to his venom, but ctommy is, so he isolates him and makes ctommy fear him in any other way he can. he needs control, yknow it's his whole, thing or whatever. This one doesn't really add /too/ much to this hc but I'm adding it anyways, cwilbur is a cat hybrid because I say so, snakes and cats have similar-looking pupils and so, cdream uses that to make ctommy basically just lose his shit more. He stands in the forest nearby logshedshire at night and just watches ctommy, waiting till he notices him and calls out a hesitant, "wilbur?" then cdream leaves ^^
oh yeah! rattlesnakes can control how much venom they use when they bite someone btw. use that info how you please! Rattlesnakes also only eat one meal every two to three weeks (cdream prison arc... potatoes get low... he fine ^^) They live within rocky crevices, please just think about the place he took ctubbo and ctommy at the final disc war before he was put in prison, thanks! Oh and btw, there are green (tinted) rattlesnakes as well... just saying
TUMBLR USER POSSUMINNIT YOU ARE SO CORRECT OH MY GOD...
I love people's hybrid HCs for the DSMP and all of the ones mentioned here are so... they fit SO well omg. Though I am imagining C!Dream with the lower body of a snake and Techno calling him a "homeless worm on a string" because of it... which is equally as good.
Of course. I love cat!wilbur HCs. If I must be a cat, canon has to be as well /j theyre so GOOD.. your thoughts.. your brain is LARGE.. /pos
The idea of possums being immune to snake venom is giving me similar vibes to a honey badger. Except they're just ready to fight anything. They're not immune they're just reckless /hj /lh. Rare hybrid types of the DSMP!! GO!!

the mishaps of Technoblade and his definitely, totally, incredibly intimidating dog
requested?  yes  /   no
pronouns used: they / them
modern au
technoblade x reader
cw! swearing . mentions of dogs? . mentions of food
The dog wasn’t even for him. Phil had gotten it for Tommy’s birthday; the toddler had grown out of his fixation after a week and began begging for a pet snake after two (but who could have predicted that, right?). Now, as Techno walks the small animal around the block on what must be the coldest morning of the century, he catches the attention of a stranger with a much more threatening pet and finds that Floof might not be so much of a burden after all
Tumblr media
It’s early, too early, sunlight just barely peeks through the distant mountains and the fog of autumn cold murking the window doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon
Technoblade curses Wilbur under his breath as he slips on the thickest sweater he can find, the knitted material is unfairly cold against his chest and it raises goosebumps along his arms.
“oi have a weak immune system and moornings are too cold beh beh beh”
Techno mimics his brother’s accent to perfection if he does say so himself... and he doesn’t almost fall down the stairs in a futile attempt to avoid waking up his family, definitely.
Fuck it, he’ll turn the lights on next time, sleep schedules be damned
“Floof!” (he still doesn’t raise his voice, because Phil had a very stressful week and Technoblade is a good son. the small shouted whisper will do)
It doesn’t take longer than a second for Floof to start running around the boy’s legs and barking it’s little lungs off (it’s barely a puppy, it should not have this much energy, specially at this ungodly time), Technoblade hooks a leash onto the collar peeking from the soft fur, his own hair is tousled and he has no patience to braid it. He lazily gathers the pink strands into a low ponytail and walks out the door and into the chilly morning of october.
-
“You like me right?”
Floof’s ears perk up and he looks up at the teenager as if to say I’m a dog? What do you want from me?
“Of course you like me, I endure hardship for you, y’know? You don’t feel it because you’re covered in fur, but it’s really damn cold out here”
The dog doesn’t answer, Technoblade wasn’t expecting it to but he’s disappointed nonetheless.
“You really are small”
Maybe Techno’s salty about having to walk the dog at six am in the morning, maybe not.
“you couldn’t be a watchdog, I’d have to protect you”
he’s still taking it out on Floof, because it is tiny and universally adorable, it needs to learn that life is hard, and who else is going to teach it?
“You’re cute, there’s no denying that bu-”
And then Technoblade looks up from the dog and thinks really, poking fun at a puppy? Really? I’m gonna go to hell for that?
Because there is a huge dog sprinting at him and maybe this is where it all ends: meters away from his house, at six am on what must be the coldest morning ever and he doesn’t even have time to laugh at his situation, ‘cause he is being tackled to the ground and Floof is barking next to his ear in a deemed-to-fail mission to defend him.
“Hound!”
Goddamnit, why is this his life?
“Shit, I am so sorry, Hound! Get off him!”
A voice, not a god perhaps, but a voice willing to help nonetheless; and Techno is in no place to be picky
“Sit!”
The stranger (Hound’s owner, apparently) reaches a hand to help the boy to his feet, and after reaching for Floof's leash, Technoblade looks up.
They are... pretty
A self conscious blush taints Technoblade’s already pinkish face, because he’s wearing red and pink plaid flannel pyjama bottoms, a sweater that must have been white eons ago, his hair is a tangled, ponytailed mess and this incredibly pretty stranger just saved him from being devoured by their dog.
“Hi”
He doesn’t have time to stare or sulk.
“Hullo”
They smile and scratch their neck
“I’m sorry about...” they signal the humongous dog now sitting besides them “he gets a bit excited”
“Uh, it’s fine, woke me up I guess”
They smile wider and that’s enough to make Techno forget about the sore spot on his elbow
“y/n”
You stretch your hand out and how can someone look this not-on-the-brink-of-death at six a fucking m, god
“Techno… Blade, Techno’s fine” he stammers more than he should and maybe it’s the fact that your hands are touching but he stills wants to kick himself. you don’t notice, too preoccupied kneeling down on the sidewalk and talking to Floof in that baby voice people always talk to animals in
Floof rolls onto its back and Techno is almost too busy trying --and failing-- to smooth his hair down to notice you asking for the dog’s name
“Name’s Floof, awful, awful decision”
You look up with a grin tugging at your lips
“I’m gonna take a wild guess and say it wasn’t your choice”
Techno chuckles, “I wanted to name him steve”
“Oh because that’s better”
And smoothly, like a choreography, or a habit, you stand up and suddenly you’re walking together along the sidewalk, it’s still cold, but it doesn’t really matter.
The pair of dogs get along better, and quicker, than one would have expected, Floof is tiny enough that he can run through hound’s legs and the latter doesn’t seem keen on the idea of eating his new acquaintance, so good enough
-
Techno learns five things about you in the span of what feels like seconds
Your dog’s name is indeed Hound and he doesn’t need a leash, he gets anxious when he has to wear one and he’s actually really tame (you really are sorry about Hound tackling him)
You live in house behind his (he asks if it’s the one with the plants on the windows and the cornflowers by the doorway, it is) (you ask if his house is the loud one with the colorful doors and huge oak tree in the backyard, he tells you his brothers are the loud ones. You tell him to congratulate on your behalf the “one with the lovely voice and the pretty songs”, he makes a mental note to kick Wilbur later… and to work through his jealousy issues in therapy)
You too think that having to wake up at 6am should be considered a crime
You’ve read (and liked) most of his favourite books
you like his hair
So he’s basically in love with you by the time you make your way around the block, wordlessly, you decide to walk for just a little bit longer.
The sunlight doesn’t do much to warm you up, so the prospect of a hot beverage from that small cafe that always opens at five and smells a lot like vanilla is just about a godsend of an idea
Technoblade only realises he doesn’t have his wallet when the earthy flavour of warm cappuccino begins to flood his mouth
“We can just go by my house and I’ll pay you”
“I mean it, it’s no problem”
Behind the counter, the normally chirpy pink-haired barista is looking incredibly disinterested on the outcome of the quarrel and Techno might be a big fan of paying for his shit, but his crippling social anxiety wins the round and he gives up.
“you’ll pay next time”
You take a treat out of the pocket on your hoodie and snap it in half, feeding it to the dogs like you didn’t just make Techno’s heart do acrobatics.
He tries not to stutter much when he asks “next time?”
“Well they seem to like each other, so I thought it’d be nice”
the morning sun shines on your skin, you’re smiling like you know what you’re doing and it’s like you get more lovely every passing second
“Go to a park some time, something like that”
So Techno plays along, to the best of his abilities
“For the dogs?”
He lifts the papery cup to his lips and looks at you sideways, trying to be aloof maybe
“Oh of course, I can barely stand you, but he’s okay”
You signal to floof with a tip of your head and you dissolve laughing as Techno’s face contorts into a look of utter indignation.
The friendly bicker continues until the wide green door of Techno’s house is mere meters from where you stand.
“Want me to walk you home?”
You smile, it occurs to Techno that you actually haven’t stopped smiling for a while
“I’ll manage”
“O’kay, I’ll see you?”
“See you Techno”
You reach your arm and it sorta floats in mid air for a second before colliding with techno’s bicep in a friendly, incredibly awkward, light punch
“Alrighty, that’s my que to leave”
You reach down to pet floof’s head one last time and walk away, the dog whines and looks up at the boy with those big sad puppy eyes that are actually rather endearing from this angle
Maybe Techno had never payed close enough attention or maybe floof has become incredibly expressive over night but it’s almost like he’s asking why you’re going
“I know, I know”
He unlocks the door
“C’mon, let’s get you some breakfast dude”
Unbeknown to Techno, Tommy is balancing on top of a stack of books and what looks to be a microwave trying to reach the biscuit cupboard and he damn near kills his older brother when he talks from the still semi shadowy corner of the kitchen
“Grown to love the thing ‘ave ya?”
“Son of a- what do you think you’re doing?”
The seven year old sits down on the counter and nonchalantly munches on a jammie dodger
“Was hungry, why so late?”
“Stopped for a coffee”
He dangles the now empty cup in Tommy’s face before chucking it in the bin
“You look all happy and flustered”
Tommy jumps down from the counter and walks toward the stairs, his dinosaur pyjamas dusted with crumbs
“It’s weird”
-
Later that morning, over the breakfast table with a half eaten spoonful of oatmeal still in his mouth, Techno tells Phil he’ll walk Floof the next day, and he needn't worry
“Why?”
“Floof likes me, you get to sleep in a bit later”
He may or may not slip the dog a slice of bacon under the table
“Win win situation”
“you’re much too eager beginning to spend time with a dog you didn’t even like a day ago, we oughta get you a girlfriend Techno”
“Wil”
Techno doesn’t blush, he’s looking down because the tea is intriguing today and he likes the mug
“Or a boyfriend, that would work too”
Phil opens his mouth to “Wil” his son again and shuts it when tommy interrupts
“He already has one”
Silence falls over the room
“Care to elaborate, Tommy?”
He ignores Wilbur, shrugs and stabs a sausage with his plastic fork (he cannot be trusted with metal ones, they all learned that the hard)
“Techno?”
“Don’t look at me, I dunno what he’s talking about”
He’s playing it cool, everything’s cool, he can easily avoid a family freak out and hopefully leave the table alive and well-
“Like shit you don’t!” Phil tries to reprimand his son’s language, it’s pointless “you came back from your ‘walk’” he air quotes the word walk and he’s going a bit red “all blushy and chirpy with an empty cup of coffee, all evidence points to romance!”
Wilbur burst out laughing and slams a hand on the table, unable to catch his breath, Phil is trying to stifle down his own fit of laughter because this is just too perfect, detective Tommy is on the case of Techno’s mystery lover and the latter looks like he’s waiting for the earth to swallow him whole
“Yeah well Tommy was stealing biscuits”
Phil calms himself long enough to choke out a half assed “Tommy!”
“You traitor!”
-
Across the garden, in the house with plants on the windowsills and cornflowers by the doorway, you chuckle at the laughter and yelling coming from the house behind yours, unwilling to acknowledge how most of your good mood is attributed to the pink haired, awkward and, truth be told, adorable neighbour.
The empty coffee cup now sits on the kitchen counter and this feels like a beginning
it's still June first in like.... yesterday... somewhere
happy (late) birthday to the funkiest anarchist pigman out there
likes and weblogs are treasured and as always, have a lovely morning/day/afternoon/evening/night <3

technoblade speedrunning adopting ranboo (high school edition): the fanfic
also on ao3!
hey remember this post? well i got so attatched and impatient that i wrote over 1k words for a pilot type chapter for it <3
chapter one: officer in my defense i punched that guy because he deserves it
-
Techno Blade-Minecraft would call himself smart. He got good grades without trying, learned second, then third languages with ease, read textbooks for fun, etcetera etcetera. Wisdom without experience was a rare thing to possess, especially in a high school senior but techno had it tight in his grasp, easily making him a ‘Model Student’. He understood he got unneeded attention from that, which sucked, but it was an easy trade-off to be the automatic teacher’s favourite.
But Techno was a man of wisdom, not a man of sense. So naturally, he remembered a fact about baby birds he learnt when he was six years old:
‘Classical "imprinting", as seen with for example, ducks or geese, means that the animal's instinctive programming says "the first big animal you see after hatching is your mom, follow them and look to her for food, warmth, love and learning’
Actually, Techno decided he was the man of Most Sense because at that very moment, the tallest, yet somehow weakest looking freshmen he’d ever seen was being cornered by a group of hefty looking seniors.
And the baby bird, with its innocent, scared eyes was looking right at him.
He looked around the hallway, a desperate scan for other students he could push his growing parental responsibility on to. It was a ghost town, as empty as the remakes of towns from the old west he saw on childhood school excursions.
‘Fuuuuuuuuuuck.’
Technoblade took a deep breath in through his nose, then released it out of his mouth like if he breathed hard enough, his empathy could be taken away with the non existent wind in the soul-crushing grey hallways. It obviously didn’t work because Jesus Christ that kid looked helpless.
As quickly as one could without compromising a freshmen’s still intact nose, Techno examined the seniors. They all wore the school football team’s letterman jacket (‘what is this, Heathers?’), a classic pointer for internalized insecurity, toxic masculinity and most importantly unrightfully self diagnosed Strong Guy syndrome, which meant that they definitely were only beating up a freshmen because that was the most they could actually fight. One point to Technoblade. They also were all at least a solid five inches shorter than him, which Techno would have laughed at if the situation wasn’t so dire. Point two for Technoblade.
Catching himself before letting his wandering mind think up a full five paragraph M.L.A sighted essay to why he could crush these nerds, he decided that two points was enough leverage to still crush these nerds, but with slightly less confidence.
With as much patience as he could, he slowly walked up to the group like a silent lion hunting his soon to be, very dead* (maybe not dead, *slightly bruised) prey. The baby bird, trapped in one of his prey’s chokehold, stared at him like he was a madman. Techno’s objective changed: knock out the dickhead choking a kid.
They stood in a corner, the choker in the middle, the other two blocking off the only escapes and laughing cruelly at the baby bird. Completely distracted.
Techno curled his fist, aiming to punch that asshole’s teeth in or at least break his nose. He starts to run, about five feet away from his target and oh god this is a terrible idea he does fencing not hand to ha-
BAM.
Choker’s nose made a resounding crack and fell back onto the jock on the left. Probably because it’d be ‘too gay’, or whatever, the guy sidesteps and lets a knocked out, nose broken, probably popular kid by comparing his ego to the size of his dick, fall onto the ground
The two awake bullies look between their knocked out friend, then at Techno, then at each other.
“MISS NIIIIHACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!”
Techno knew they’d call a teacher because they’re cowards but really? Nihachu?
That lady is TERRIFYING what did he do to deserve this.
He let out a long, disappointed ‘bruh’ before with a jolt, remembering the whole reason he punched that jock in the first.
The child.
He doesn’t bother trying to pick up him up because holy hell he’s tall, but pulls one of the kid’s arms over his shoulder, and with his other arm holds their waist and sprints as fast as he can down the hall.
“What the…” murmurs the half dead lump on his back, and while Techno’s surprised his vocal chords aren’t dead? Not even a ‘thank you’? Techno thinks he should start doing charity work at this point.
He continues to run though, because he’s a generous soul, until slowing to open a door that opens the blinding sunlight of the free world outside their prison.
Despite himself, Techno lets his mouth slip into a big enough smile that actually shows his teeth because he just did that. His celebratory moment is cut off though, because the weight on his back suddenly felt even heavier and-
Oh my God the baby bird just fell asleep on me.
Am I a father now?
What do I tell Phil? Does this make him a grandfather?
I can’t just take him home.
What’s stopping you?
Oh my God, I’m a genius.
Techno may be a proclaimed genius, but he is not immune to the inherent propaganda of cute children, so he sets down the kid on the least grimey part of a battered metal bench to get his first proper look at the sleeping giant.
Apart from his injuries (a bleeding nose, bruises forming on his arms, a black eye and a red handprint on his neck) the kid looked… Weird. Techno had subconsciously noticed it while carrying him, but only now the complete oddity of him. His skin from the jaw down was a uniform, warm, dark brown, which was decidedly normal, but his face was… different. Not ugly, no, he looked average, if not perpetually awkward, even in his sleep. The right side of his face was a similar, if not slightly darker tone than the rest of his skin, but where it got weird weird was from the middle of his face and leftward, his face was pale. As pale as Techno, which is saying something because Techno himself has albinism; he has no melanin in his skin.
He found himself sympathizing for the kid again. Techno himself got bullied for his reddish eyes - a symptom of his albinism, and his naturally stark-white skin and hair. It got to the point that he dyed his hair pink, which decidedly made it worse because a guy dying his hair pink ? apparently high school treason to both students and the school rules. His bullies had a colourful range of insults, at least; Techno’s personal favourites being from after he died his hair: homophobic slurs. The teachers had constant complaints and even a couple suspensions, which didn’t stop Techno, obviously. What a wonder public school is.
So yes, Techno understood the baby bird, because despite Techno’s only weakness being himself (and apparently non-threatening freshmen?) as of now, it wasn’t like he came out of the womb a scary pink haired senior. He knew bullying like the hair dye aisle at his local department store.
He knew that helping the kid would make him more attached to the point of no return, but he’d accepted it. It felt like feeding a wild animal more food after making the mistake the first time, it’s not like it’ll get less annoying to have it following you around.
The moment Techno processed his own thought, his face blanched - somehow getting whiter despite literally being the textbook definition of a white boy.
He’d fallen into the ‘senior adopting a defenseless freshmen’ trap.
Shit.
Even more embarrassingly, this didn't deter Techno from pulling his first aid kit, for once his anxious over-packing doing some good.

i think this is my final list. 50+ potential telepaths on the island of krakoa.
This is counting one the are visible but lets not talk about recent mergers or unlisted telepaths.  Not to mention omega level telepaths.
i also didn't add mimic users . ( mimic or rogue ). I however did add hope because she fits in so well with the house of grey.
 didn't add astral projector er (like trance) or strict telekinetic (hellion). Or techno-paths (whiz kid) . I did add christian frost because he seems to have low level telepathy immunity from Emma.  Sibling immunity . house of frost needs him.
I didn't draw the unlimited amount of cuckoos clones that could be resurrected as well.  Or unlimited sinister clones.
I found that Betsy butterfly is a unique signature. I feel like house of grey and house of frost should have a psychic animal symbol. (phoneix and polar bear.....kidding) white snow owl maybe?
I counted only one omnipath.   I wonder if the rest of the island can help him out. poor guy
Two or three of members  were world ending threats at least when merged with another beings i noticed. If not more.
I personally love the specific telepathic schools like hive mind users, tag user, and group possessions.
I count three Asian citizen telepath (one male) at least and three black male telepaths.
A  few omega users as well with no limits.
Also didn't add a few who were confusing. g Shepard , and Franklin Richard / miss sinister. Or forgot
I also put them in order of appearance and added months of debut. Im an empath :)
I don't think any nation has that many citizens who can read minds and I wonder if they have more telepaths concentrated on a single island than they do on other planets? I mean what if you boosted karma power . you could take over a huge planet and army build.
 Krakoa is working up to be a very powerful nation  with just the psionic powers alone.

How many of you know what Dress Up Niki is? Because I’m making a Dress Up Niki AU.
Tubbo:
A simple boy from Lilith, as far as the group is concerned. 
Prefers Warm and Pure styles. Typically with some sort of nature or animal theme.
His default outfit is a pale yellow sweater with three thick brown stripes, and scrunched sleeves, over a soft green button-up shirt that's collar pokes out, brown shorts with green thread and a single bee embroidered onto each side, pale green socks, brown sneakers with green accents, a braided yellow/green bracelet with a bee charm, and a yellow and brown bee-themed backpack that he carries his stuff in.
There's a strange bee plushie that he only uses in emergencies, style wise. It's very soft, and smallish. It's wings are gossamer, and it's eyes are amber. Sometimes, it seems to move on it's own, though nobody's been able to prove it. Seems to have very potent Pure and Cute attributes.
Skills are Smile, Charming, Picky Immune, and Cinderella.
Tommy:
An orphan from Apple Federal who ran away and now is traveling the world.
Prefers Simple and Lively styles. Usually something sporty, and easy to move in.
Default outfit is a white long sleeve, a red short-sleeved hoodie, light brown cargo pants, red and white sneakers, white socks, brown fingerless gloves, and a brown satchel that holds his stuff.
One-third dark elf-one third forest elf, and otherwise human. Due to this, he can see easily in the dark, has more energy at night, overall has high magic stores, and is really good with animals. 
Feels a strange draw to Phil, though he can't pinpoint why.
Skills are Picky Immune, Gift, Clock, and Charming.
Wilbur:
Hails from the Republic of Wasteland, Windvale Tribe. Having always longed to study the styles of other nations, he finally left to do so after an argument with his brother, Fundy.
Prefers Simple and Gorgeous styles. Usually something with an 'old-fashioned' flair.
Default outfit is a pin-striped button up shirt, with rolled up sleeves, brown trouser, suspenders, white socks, a pair of laced boots, an brown, yellow, and blue arm-band peeking out from under his shirt, and a golden bangle bracelet on his wrist. Carries a briefcase bag to hold his stuff.
Very good with music, and has an easier time directing magic through it. 
Always has his guitar on hand. It has very potent Lively and Gorgeous attributes.
Skills are Smile, Charming, Critical Eye, and Picky Immune.
Phil:
Comes from Cloud originally, but moved to the North Kingdom as a teen. Nowadays, he travels the world with Techno.
Prefers Elegant and Simple styles. His clothes will be influenced by the area, as he is a survivalist at heart.
Default outfit is dark green kimono top, with a red heart stitched into the breast, over a simple black shirt, black pants, sandals, a striped white and green hat, and a leather pouch around his waist that holds his items.
Part forest elf, and as such, has a pair of large bird wings on his back, which he uses to fly quite often.
Skills are Smile, Charming, Picky Bounce, and Sleeping. 
Technoblade:
Former general from the north, he went rogue and became a mercenary at seventeen.
Prefers Mature and Elegant styles. Regal, but not enough to hinder him in battle.
Default outfit is a white poet’s shirt, dark red sash around his waist, black pants, knee-high Cavalier boots, a dark red hooded cloak that reaches his knees, numerous golden accessories, a leather pouch attached to his thigh to hold his stuff, as well as a dagger beneath it, and a sword sheath at his hip.
Immune to the Curse of Blood, for reasons unknown-possible descendant of Nikki.
Skills are Charming, Critical Eye, Cinderella, and Gift Bounce.
Plot:
Prince Tobias is the third prince of Pigeon, after Prince Dream, and Prince Eret. As the eldest, Dream has taken the throne in wake of their mother's passing.
Shortly before her death, the Queen gave her children each a special gift to aid them in the times to come.
Dream was granted a special mask, made of porcelain, and baring a simple smiley-face on it's surface. The mask is enchanted, hiding the wearer's emotions and weaknesses from everyone around them. Perfect for diplomacy.
Eret was given a coat, of deep red and golden thread. It granted it's wearer confidence, drawing attention to them, and giving them the strength of leadership. Perfect for leading.
And Tobias was given a bee plushie, warm and soft, that gave it's holder hope, and reminded them of memories of joy and childhood. Perfect for a boy who'd have to be a hero.
When Dream took the throne, he started changing. Acting colder, and more power hungry. Uncaring for his people. His siblings soon realized that the mask had become corrupted, not merely hiding emotions and weaknesses, but making them vanish all together, turning their brother into an unfeeling tyrant.
After failing to get the mask off of him, Tobias fled the kingdom, desperate to find the mask's maker, or anything to tell him how to fix it and save his brother. Eret remained, determined to help the kingdom as much as they could, and do damage control. Though reluctant to allow her little brother out alone, he realized it would be safer out there than in the kingdom at the moment, and helped him flee.
Very few had seen Tobias’s face, due to the late queen's insistence upon not dragging her children into kingdom affairs until they were of age, so it wasn't too hard for him to vanish. Eret sent a family friend his way, Jordan Sparklez, who helped him into Lilith, and established a cover story.
Tubbo Sparklez, a Lilith student returning home after traveling abroad to learn more about himself, just as his father had.
He soon meets Tommy Innit, a runaway from Apple Federal.
Tommy had always been an easy target for the other kids. He was always a bit too loud for the caretakers, and annoying to the other children. Not to mention his strange habits. Needless to say, Tommy often found himself being blamed for things he didn't do, and punished for them. At fourteen, he was fed up with it.
So he ran. Packed his few things and bolted. Eventually found himself in Lilith, where he quite literally crashed into Tubbo, and despite the rough start, the two became quick friends.
Though Tommy still planned to travel, he decided to relax for a bit, and hang out with his new friend. Those plans were thrown astray when Pigeon attacked the town, and the two fled together.
The terrifying experience led to them agreeing to stick together and protect each other. Tubbo confesses he was searching for something, because his brother was in trouble, and Tommy decided to help him out. After some deliberation, they decided to head to Cloud, hoping to find some clues there.
From there, they meet Wilbur Soot, and eventually, Philza and Techno. The three end up sticking with them, all soon wrapped up in a complicated adventure as Tubbo searches for a way to save his brother, and the rest of the group find themselves facing things about themselves they never knew, and learning where they belong in this vast world.

Navigating Parenthood (In Which Diana and Akko Go Shopping)
Summary: Compared to saving the country from a nuclear missile, parenting should be a piece of cake, right? Well, maybe. In which Akko and Diana stumble their way through living out their dreams while figuring out parenthood together. [A series of one-shots focused on Akko and Diana building and raising a family. Chapters can be read in any order.] Rated: G Words: 6,327 Pairing: Diana Cavendish/Atsuko Kagari Chapter Summary: Diana and Akko go shopping in preparation for having a baby. Akko does not make the experience easy for them.
Baby Depot was a store that lived up to its name.
While Diana expected it to be large, she wasn’t prepared for the industrial-sized warehouse she and Akko entered that afternoon. They were assaulted by shelves overflowing with stuffed animals, car seats, and comically small shoes at every turn. It had anything parents-to-be could want or need, but the challenging trade-off was actually finding what you were looking for. How someone would even begin navigating it all was beyond her.
Coming to the store was Akko’s idea, of course. When Diana suggested they complete their shopping for the nursery online, Akko stubbornly bit back.
“First you won’t even hold a cellphone, now you wanna do all of your shopping on one?!” Akko had spat the evening prior. “You’re turning into a righteous techno-nut, Diana!”
While, yes, normally Diana wasn’t keen on all things online, even she could tentatively admit when computers had her beat. In this circumstance, shopping from the comfort of her own home sounded far more appealing than trudging through a crowded department store. After all, walking wasn’t as enjoyable when you were carrying an infant the size of a cabbage in your belly.
But alas, Akko had her ways. She convinced Diana that nursery shopping wasn’t just shopping—it was an ‘important experience they couldn’t miss out on’. There was—allegedly—something special about picking out baby furniture with your significant other.  It may have sounded charming at the time, but as Diana walked through the long aisles of Baby Depot, carrying seven months of pregnancy along with her, she was questioning how ‘special’ the experience really was.
Akko, on the other hand, was perfectly at home among the bright colors, cheery atmosphere, and ‘BIG SALE’ signs hanging from the ceiling. She strode down the aisles with a bounce in her step, humming a spirited tune as she pushed their shopping trolley along with her.
The trolley itself was a quarter of the way filled with various toys—all of which were picked out by Akko, and none of which were what they came to the store for in the first place. They had yet to pick out a single piece of furniture or any of the other practical items they were going to need. And with the rate at which Akko was getting distracted by any little thing that flashed or made noise, Diana knew it would be a while before they did.
“Diana, look!” Akko suddenly gasped, rushing away from the trolley. “This is perfect! We have to get it!”
She yanked a shirt off a nearby shelf and jutted it into Diana’s hands. It was a pink t-shirt, obviously made for a newborn. The front was decorated with white stars, and written across the center in bright blue letters were the words, ‘Made of Magic’.
Resisting the urge to cringe was nearly impossible.
“You don’t find it a little too…” Diana started hesitantly, eyeing Akko with a hint of distaste, “on the nose?”
“Uh, yeah. That’s the point. It’s adorable and funny.”
Diana pursed her lips as Akko stared at her with the sparkling puppy-dog eyes she was infamous for. It was the same trick she had used about a dozen times already that day. Diana should have been immune to such a puerile tactic; but in reality, she hated admitting how effective it was.
She handed the shirt over. “...Add it to the trolley.”
Read it all on AO3.
