Hello! This is the official blog for the Dream SMP Café, a blog which promotes roleplay blogs & discusses ongoing events in the Dream SMP Café server! The Café was once roleplay oriented, but is now open to rpverse (bedrockverse, resetverse, and beyond) participants, fans, and even people who just enjoy the DSMP as a whole & storytelling about it!

The server is open to join here!

*This café is under new management! It is owned and operated by @theghosttownn , @dyketubbo , @likethesword , @buttonduos , and is sponsored by @bellemyers ! (Also, this is not a real café and no money or coffee is involved... We do have slam poetry nights in the form of tupper roleplay, though.)

An Introduction...

There is a statue that has fallen to golden ingots and a glitched out, half-empty server which Drista stands in.

A server reset that would fix it all. She would forfeit her memory, lost to the other Gods whose memories may have persevered, and she would rewrite her story.

Things could be right again. She focuses all of her energy, and she resets.

connected to @drista-the-parity-goddess , a continuation of her story (though knowledge of the previous blog is not needed to understand this blog)

Where am I? Who am I?

This is a c!Drista-centered roleplay blog run by @theghosttownn members Philippa, Joey, and Maia. It is connected to the 'resetverse', in which stray blogs come together under a server reset to make a reset server of there own! With the server reset being done by a chaos goddess, some blogs/characters have complete memories of their lives before, some have no memory of anything which happened before, and some are... spotty.

Note: The mods of this blog understand & recognize that Drista in this universe is a character filling the role of a Chaos Goddess. We do not claim to be Drista nor is this RPF.

Credits (A final Thank You to all 153 of you <3)

Written by Joey & Noah of the Ghost Town system (@theghosttownn)

This has been a long journey.

A lot of ups and downs went into this, it was a long story with probably more plot than it needed, that I've been writing since November & December of last year! There was confusion in what universe these girls played in, confusion in plots, friendship gains and losses, angst that tore out my heart, adrenaline as I tried to time posts- it's been a rollercoaster of a blog.

This post will be crediting and thanking everybody who was part of the stories of @drista-the-parity-goddess and @lanusky-the-imparity-goddess, as in spite of where our relationship stands today, I do love and value everyone who joined me on this silly adventure.

Without further ado, here is that thank you.

Drista's first interaction was with @gildedgasmask ! Thank you to Mask and her system for giving my girl her first bit of story, and a good laugh. Thank you for accompanying us throughout the journey of telling her story and especially for the tupper RPs in the cafe. I will always cherish the silly back and forths where Drista or Lani were obviously in the wrong and your tupper Beep was a smartass about it (affectionate). It helped me develop their characters in ways I was unaware they could have developed! Thank you as well to @farmers-boy for being an older sibling figure to Lani!

Drista's second ever interaction was with @angelxxreaper ! Thank you to Cam for being there for such a long period of their stories, thank you for supporting us for so long. Your Phil was a father to Lani. Your Phil's effect on Drista, in the timeline where she is a part of his story, was major. She learned a lot because of angelxxreaper, and I am ever grateful that your rp character taught her so much, just as you taught me so much! ♡

@hergoddessofdeath and @areyouawakexd made a such huge impact on Drista and Lani's story. From Lady Death smothering Drista's flame over and over, being Lani's Mother Gothel- you played a wonderful and terrifying antagonist, Sunspell. Additionally, XD's relationship with Drista somewhat fostered not only Drista's turn toward kindness, but also the friendship we held for so long. I will always cherish their kinship, and what you taught me about the craft of literature through these blogs.

@eternalelytra literally the only dad figure ever i love this guy right here!!!! wish our blogs could have interacted more, but Lani loved and resembled your Phil in so many ways and I love their relationship sm frfr.

@the-silent-deer our interactions were short and sweet but I loved having you as a callahan for us!! hugs!!

@god-of-sea , AKA Foolish had such a huge impact on Drista, both in ways that were seen and that weren't. Foolish being an older sibling figure/even father figure to Drista is something I'm ever grateful to @finntaur for providing. It was a figure Drista's story needed; from personal past experiences I can say with certainty that I'm glad it was you, Finn, who could play that figure for her. Also a huge shoutout to @purpled-of-ln and @smp-archivist for having a hand in Drista and Lani's stories. Our memories in this silly tumblr roleplay are forever going to be cherished.

Lani's older sister @sootsunrise hardly needs an introduction. Suri's writing has always captivated and floored me, its intricacies and its floweriness never failed to amaze. Regardless of that, Wilbur's sisterhood with Lani was my favorite thing to come back to, the way Wilbur never failed to be there for Lani when she needed her. I feel that writing them brought Suri and I closer, and helped me learn about writing description in particular. Thank you, Suri! ♡

@subtotechno, @anarchist-swine, and @theydemandblood, thank you for being Technoblade figures in Drista's story! (All accounts are run by different people, give them all a follow ♡)

Thank you to @tmmyrp for being a Tommy figure in Drista's early story!

Thank you to @tubbolul for acting as a Tubbo figure in Drista's early story! I appreciate you!

Thank you to @memorybooks for every silly bit done with Drista's early story!

A very special thank you to @phoenixchick, Kat has had a huge impact on Drista and Lani, always taking part in arcs and being there when things went wrong. Kat is my current RP partner on @papa-puffy, where content will still be posted! Show @likethesword so much fucking love I swear to god, literally my bestie. Bee's such a good storyteller, they're talented in so many ways.

Another incredibly special thank you to @mlady-skepina, holy shit we sure told a story didn't we? You're incredible, your storytelling is incredible, and I appreciate every bit and story we told. Our tumblr DMs are always open, and if you ever get a discord, you're 100% welcome to reach out and ask for ours. I'm so grateful for the memories and friendship you gave to me, and if you ever need a hand in an arc, I'm more than happy to try ♡♡

Thank you to @cosmicswore for playing an exciting antagonist!

An incredibly deserved thank you to @silencedrose, thank you for acting as the OG Callahan and always bringing a smile to my face. Thank you for helping me plan and execute early arcs, and for never giving up on us. We love you so much!

Thank you to every follower who interacted with this blog, who made me happier than anything with anons galore. I appreciate you. I love you. You inspire me to keep telling stories.

I love you, thank you.

#ooc #ghost speaks [ooc post]

[drista-the-parity-goddess]

Drista stands in front of the golden statue in the Realm of Balance of her once betrothed. She lays flowers in front of it, vibrant and pristine. Perfect, like the statue itself, even years after the Goddess' death.

The plate at the base of the statue reads 'A Monument to the Goddess of Order and Imparity, Dear to Many.'

Drista kneels in front of it to come eye level with Pebbles, who never leaves from the side of that statue. She snaps, and a bowl of cat food appears. "Brought you some of the good kibble."

"Fancy seeing you here." Drista startles at the new voice and turns to see Wilbur. "I thought I was the only one who visited here anymore."

Drista rolls her eyes. "Yeah right, I was married to her, y'know."

"You were," The heretic shrugs, and smiles. "You also turned her to solid gold, so."

"Fair point. How've you been?"

"I sure have been, haven't I?"

Drista laughs, in this melancholy way that it seems very few can pick up on. Wilbur, of course, is part of that very few, being the way she is. Wilbur's had to grieve many times, in many ways. She knows like no one else.

The ending is messy. It leaves loose ends, unsaid words, and grief. It's the only ending there is sometimes. In many ways, it's the only way it ever could have ended.

Chronological, orderly.

Messy, chaotic.

Balanced.

The ending, as it tends to go, was never planned.

It happens the night after the party, after everyone's gone home. Lani does laundry- a typical domestic moment which every TV show necessitates to wrap up an episode. 

"Mooooommmm?" Their enderian eldest daughter chirps, stepping into the laundry room with a guilty look painting her face. "So, uh- Felix told me you were wondering what happened to the mayonnaise…"

There's a laugh track as the lights begin to fade, and suddenly Niki Jr. slumps over like a puppet with her strings cut. Lani nods, quiet approval, and begins to make rounds about the house. She finds Drista slumped over in the bed again, and the triplets all in a cuddle pile in the living room. Everyone in their places for the next day's "episode". 

Lani snaps her fingers, and Drista's body maneuvers itself to be in a more comfortable spot on the bed. The Goddess of imbalance lays beside her platonic betrothed, partly to sleep, partly to brainstorm. She ponders what the viewers will enjoy, what they'll want to see. 

Because after all, when the lights fade, Lani can see. Lani has sight, in her perfect world. She has sight, and a perfect relationship with her mother and platonic wife.

It's then that she sees Drista's soul- naturally detached from her body, looming over her. 

"Hi Lani." Drista greets, deadpan. "What's goin' on?"

"I- you aren't supposed to be here." Lani sits up, phasing through Drista's soul as she does. Drista grunts, as if that causes her pain. "Get back in your body."

"Nobody's in their body, Lanusky, c'mon. You know none of this was asked for."

"I don't know what you mean." Lani turns away, and Drista huffs.

"Wake up, Lani."

"You need to stop." 

"Wake up! This isn't what anybody wants! You can't keep this up forever!"

"It's perfect here. I am Order. You're for cheap laughs. We work well together."

"Lani." 

"Drista."

Drista snaps her fingers, with another sigh. "What's this, then?"

Suddenly Lani is exposed to what she's done. She sees the souls she's tormented by puppeting their bodies. She sees Niki in the midst of a panic attack. She sees Puffy trying desperately to get her body to put down a butcher knife. 

Drista snaps again, and next, Lani sees Ranboo's body slowly falling away in water as his soul begs it to get out of the ocean. 

Again. Lani sees her mother, placed in her body and happier than ever without her. The fake mother falling away. Again. Lani sees Lya, Aimsey and Hannah. All three of their souls reach for their bodies, longing to be themselves. Again. Again. Again.

Lani hears the tens, hundreds of souls she's forced to play along in her game. 

"Is this perfect to you?" Drista asks. Lani swallows hard. "Is this what you wanted?"

"I- well-"

"It is, isn't it? It's what you wanted when you manipulated me, when you manipulated Lya." The teenage Goddess sounds pained. "I can't just leep letting you do whatever you want, it's hurting people. You get that, right? You can't exile Gods from their bodies and just- just expect that to be fine."

"It's not-"

"Lani." 

Suddenly, XD stands behind his sister, watching silently. Lya's soul stands beside Drista. Niki, Puffy, Jack Manifold, Ranboo, Aimsey, Hannah, everyone, everyone affected. They all stand in a circle around her. 

Drista speaks again. "Lani, I woke in this realm, and I was the problem. Over and over again, I was the problem. I was everyone's little sister." Drista's body reclaims her. She draws an axe, made purely of Gold.  "I saw different timelines, caused trouble in every one I set foot in. Messed with Lady Death in every one, hated her in every single one. I was the bad guy. I was chaos."

"You are."

"That's what sets us apart, I think." Drista continues, without regard to Lani. "Chaos is capable of change, chaos loves change. As much as it loves trouble, it loves change more. I loved change. I loved humanity. I loved love. I chose love. I became balance."

The Goddess holds the axe out to Lani, for her to walk into if she so chooses.

"Our existence is a dichotomy. This world doesn't need a Goddess of Imparity. This world needs love, and it's lacking in it. So I need you to let go. Join your Mother, be safe in your limbo. Take comfort in knowing you accepted love instead of control and manipulation for once."

Suddenly, Lani's perfect world is gone. Her vision evades her. She can feel the scars decorating her. She becomes increasingly aware of the enemies surrounding her, that she's ruined her life. There's no saving this. 

She lets out a sob. 

She trembles.

She accepts.

Drista, is there something wrong? I am getting very frantic prayers and just--just wondered. Are you okay? What's going on? Is everything alright with Lani? I'm here for you, if you need me. (@areyouawakexd)

(Drista shoots awake, blinking and looking around in surprise. She turns to see Lani is awake and getting ready, and sighs a breath of relief. It was just a dream.)

Honey, we ought to get more dreamcatchers, I just had the worst dream about the stock market.

(Laugh track.)

Here's my number, you're free to call or come to hang with us whenever you'd like.
