i don't really have any solid conclusions about this yet but i noticed A Thing in a rewatch and i haven't found it mentioned elsewhere yet so here we go
(apologies for the appalling image quality you're about to see, i can't screenshot easily rn pls bear with)
OKAY so in the scene where crowley confronts gabriel about "shut up and die", something about the arrangement of book stacks caught my eye a little
the majority of the books are angled so that we mostly just see the page edges and not the spines clearly, EXCEPT for a particularly shiny and familiar colour combo right here-
Tumblr media
but nothing too weird going on there, i thought, crowley coloured books in a bookshop so what? right up until i registered crowley's line when we get a closer look-
Tumblr media
hhhhmmmmMMmmmm yes yes "everything just the way you wanted" huh, very interesting considering that we know how much thought goes into props huh
and for most of the shots we get of crowley in this position those freaking books are just quietly nestled right there in the corner-
Tumblr media
look at that god damn framing i fuckin see you, you glorious bastards
so i paused to see if i could figure out what the hell was up with those fuckers and this is when i absolutely lost my mind, your honour
Tumblr media
A and C you say?? in crowley colours???? framed like this?????? localised entirely within your kitchen???
anyway long story short they're two books from an Agatha Christie Crime Collection set (24 volumes, three stories per volume) and guess whats on the mfing front covers I'm-
(its a rant for another post but when paired with this other set of initials spotted in s2 i want to scream actually)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
ANYWAY back to the books, through an absolutely unhinged comparison of the formatting of gold text blobs i reckon the two we have here are:
(on top) The Pale Horse; The Big Four, The Secret Adversary
(on bottom) 4:50 From Paddington, Lord Edgeware Dies, Murder in Mesopotamia
(I'm fairly confident but if anyone has a better image to confirm/correct this pls do)
now here is where I'll need a bunch of help from some Christie-heads out there bc I haven't read any of these and I've only seen the tv adaptation of one of them, so i dont know for sure if these are like A Clue, or A Cool Thing, or if I've just fully brainrotted myself into a fun lil corner here? wa-hoo
but here's some initial stuff that jumped out at me after skimming the basics:
(some of) the titles: Pale Horse/Big Four - death's horse ofc, the four horsemen mayb? the them+adam?? ; Mesopotamia is a very biblical choice bbz ; 4:50 From Paddington- azi likes trains i guess? idk that one's tenuous lmao ; honestly no idea with the other two but Secret Adversary feels a tad ominous
iirc Big Four just has kind of an unusual history, it was initially twelve short stories that she later compiled into one, and it was published fairly soon after christie's mysterious disappearance/reappearance
in Big Four, poirot fakes his death at one point and doesnt even let hastings in on it and I'm hoping sure its totally irrelevant to the ineffable bois
part of the Pale Horse story is a group of assassins that basically try to pass off all their murders as being actually caused by like ✨satanic powers✨ which is interesting
christie knew a fUCkton about poisonings thats why she wrote so many into her work and, while i don't believe the poison coffee theory myself, it sure is an interesting link with how cyanide is associated with almond smell/flavour and that metatron chooses almond syrup in particular
(ALSO random side note that is mostly meaningless but I've worked in a good few uk coffee shops and have never worked anywhere that stocks almond syrup; almond milk yes, hazelnut syrup yes, but never almond syrup...? prob just the places i worked though lmao)
EDIT forgotten point: I've seen some speculation that the bently's plate reading "CURTAIN" could be a reference to poirot's last story, along side that alternate scene of crowley ordering the sherry for "miss marple", its just one too many agatha christie references for my melted brain to handle and I'm SUS
so this is where i run out of idea steam and hand it over to you lot because i have no clue what this could mean, if it even means anything other than a cool set feature
is there something here actually or am i yelling into the void just for fun?
who knows, who cares!

Obey Me Bros React to an MC with Narcolepsy!
This is almost purely self indulgent. Also based off of my personal symptoms! Also small rant but I absolutely do not think Belphie has narcolepsy. I feel like a lot of folks don't have much knowledge on it and make assumptions just bc he sleeps so much. Also did not include cataplexy in this! I felt it would make it much too long lol.
TW: falling asleep while driving is mentioned, alcohol use is vaguely mentioned
LUCIFER
Admittedly, he doesn't know much about it before you join the program. Has a slight assumption that you'll just sleep a lot like Belphegor. Learns very quickly that that is not entirely the case.
His first introduction to your narcolepsy is when he hears about you falling asleep during class, and he's a little irked. You have to explain it to him, and you simply can't help it.
He gets to see it up close and personal when you fall asleep at the dinner table, hand barely holding up your head, plate untouched and eyes fluttering closed. He watches you intently, unsure of how he should proceed. He lets you rest, hushing his brothers and waking you up soon after, urging you to finish your dinner.
He finally understands when you're one of Diavolo's parties, as usual, he kept a close eye on you, watching your hips sway to the music as you danced with Asmo, seemingly having the time of you life! Until you suddenly stop, starting to walk away, almost tripping over your own feet as you go to sit down. He think's you're sick for a moment, before watching you lay your head on the table and quickly doze off.
Is on top of any medications you may need to take. He sets a fairly strict schedule, making sure you get enough restful sleep to reduce sleep attacks during the day.
If you struggle with insomnia, he'll help you sleep in anyway he can, even if it's lending you his coat or his very comfortable bed.
MAMMON
Has no clue what it is, firstly assumes it's like epilepsy. Which he also has little knowledge of.
His first account is when you first arrive, he's walking you through the RAD halls and you start to trip over yourself, head seemingly bobbing back and fourth as your eyelids flutter. "Wha? Did ya not sleep right or somethin'?" You have to explain to him what it is, and he probably doesn't fully understand it yet.
As you grow closer, he lets you drive his prized Demonio 666 Lexura. Very rarely, but he couldn't ignore the sparkle in your eyes when he joked about it. He starts to panic when he sees you slightly drift to the side of the road, just barely noticeable, and he realizes you're having trouble keeping your eyes open. He quickly takes over, heart still racing at the thought of what could have possibly happened.
Definitely takes it more seriously after the car incident, he refuses to let you drive anywhere, almost ever. It's very rare that he'll let you behind the wheel.
Once he notices the insomnia, he's definitely confused. "I thought ya had that sleepy human disease?" He cocks his head at you, pursing his lips. You have to explain the science behind narcolepsy for him to really understand.
He also likes to keep you to a loose schedule, calling in a favor with Belphegor to make sure you're asleep by a certain time.
LEVIATHAN
Has an idea of what it is, only because of NarcoBerries from one of his games. Very vague idea, however. Guesses that Narco = sleep, so some kind of sleep issue.
His first encounter with it is when you're playing Devil Kart, one of the first few times he's let you in his room, and he looks over to realize that your eyelids are halfway closed, and your controller is slipping out of your hands: He panics for a moment, not wanting to touch you, but settles on leaning in and calling your name. He's shocked when you startle, eyes still half lidded and yawning. "Sorry Levi, can I take a nap in here?" Before he can respond, you're already halfway asleep. He let's you lay there, grabbing one of his extra pillows to throw at you.
The encounter that makes him understand a lot more is when you go to a human world convention! You'd been friends for a while, and you were both so excited! There's an unmistakable excitement in your eyes, and he's so giddy! He wouldn't call it a date, but probably thinks of it as one, secretly. He's quickly disappointed when you're sitting down to eat, and you drop your fork onto your plate, head slowly dropping down. He lifts your head, not wanting you to fall or face plant into the food, and talks to you quietly, "are you bored, MC? We can head home if you need!" He's hoping you don't take him up on his offer. "Thank you Levi, can we just sit against the wall and let me nap in your lap for a minute?"
He's a little embarrassed, but powers through, only for his Henry!
He is one who does not keep you on a schedule, but he tries to get you to sleep in his room while he stays up, playing games. He wants to make sure you're getting as much rest as a normie needs!
Will also let you play games with him when your insomnia is awful though!
ASMODEUS
Probably has heard of it as 'sleeping beauty syndrome' or something. Only finds out what narcolepsy is from Lucifer, when Asmo brings up how you've fallen asleep so often lately.
His first encounter with your narcolepsy is when he's doing your makeup, he's applied almost everything, until he finally gets to your eyeshadow. He turns around, a magenta pigment on the brush, and he realizes your head isn't tilted upwards anymore! Tries to talk to you, asking you to life your head, but he realizes you're asleep. Frowns, but crouches down to finish his work.
The encounter that makes him understand a lot more is when you're at a party at The Fall! Asmo is barely buzzed, he turns away from you for a few minutes, just enough to get another drink, and he can't find you! After looking for a short period, he finds you at one of the booths, your head in your arms, leaning on the table, he can hear soft noises from you as he approaches. Tries to wake you, gently shoving your shoulder before he realizes you're not budging. He sits with you, texting his brothers and asking what he should do, as he can't just leave you there! He settles on waiting for Beelzebub to escort you, and tipsy Asmo home.
Is not very helpful with your insomnia unfortunately. He needs his beauty rest and so do you! Might recommend medication to get you to sleep, or might suggest his baby brother as an assistance.
Might also suggest some sort of physical activity to tire you out.
SATAN
Knows a little about narcolepsy. He's interested enough to study it before you arrive though. Makes the assumption that you have all the symptoms.
His first incident is after a few weeks, you're sort of settled into Devildom life, and you both have a habit of meeting in the library after school most days. He's sitting in the chair next to you, engrossed in his book! As he reads the final pages of the chapter, he looks up to discuss it with you, only to see you with your eyes closed, head thrown back, and steady breaths rising your chest. He feels the blood run to his cheeks, he thinks you look vulnerable. He puts his bookmark in, getting up to crouch down in front of you. He pushes against your shoulder gently, whispering your name. "MC, let's go. I'm going to walk you home."
The incident that makes him understand it more is when he's started trying to court you. What else than the cat cafe? You both walk down the busy street, brushing shoulders as you approach the door. He orders a tea, and a pasty for you. You make your way to the cat room, and you both take a seat, he watches a beautiful black cat crawl into your lap, kneading at your thighs. You giggle at him, and he smiles back, before his attention turns to a small kitten that scurried accross the room. He follows it, dangling a flirt pole for her to chase after. He turns to show you, before finding you dozing off, breath slowing, eyes mostly closed, hand still on the kitty in your lap, who seems to be enjoying your affection. He might be in love. Let's you rest while he plays with the cats.
BEELZEBUB
Puts the idea together from Narcoberries. (HC that they're a real thing in Devildom lol.) Also assumes it's similar to Belph, you're just very sleepy constantly.
Isn't very sure of your condition, but as your grow closer, he notices quite a few patterns, and then realizes how much it really effects you.
The first incident is at one of his Fangoul games! You've really grown on him lately, and hearing you cheer from the crowd while he plays gets him riled up. Until he looks over, just scoring the 2nd to last point he needs to win, and you're slouched over, head leaning on Lucifer, who wrapped his coat around you. He realizes you're asleep, before going back to playing, hoping you'll wakeup to see him win.
He learns a lot more about you when he sits with you at the RAD cafeteria, you're chatting while he eats. Well, you're chatting, he's mumbling between bites. He watches you while you talk, and he starts to hear you trip over your words, speech slurring slightly, and eyelids starting to drop. "MC, are you okay?" He pauses his eating momentarily, looking you over. "Yeah, I'm okay, just having a sleep attack I think" "Do you want me to talk you to the infirmary?" "I'm okay, might just nap here for a minute. You can have my lunch." He's greatful, attempting to leave you some food, before he gives into his sin.
Calls on Belphie to help with you insomnia, and he tries to carry around a small pillow or blanket in his backpack for you.
BELPHEGOR
Knows about it. Used to be fascinated by human diseases and illnesses. Doesn't remember everything about it, however.
The first incident is when him and his brothers are working at The Fall. (Bunny event!) You come to visit, the place is packed. He elects to be your waiter, sauntering over to your table before asking, "what can I get for you today, MC?" You pick your meal, offering him a sleepy smile before he walks away. He comes back after 20 minutes, he chuckles, seeing your hand barely holding up your head, eyes closed. He wakes you gently, offering to skip his shift so you can nap together.
He realizes how badly it effects you when you're out stargazing, something you'd been wanting to do with him for weeks, and you can't seem to keep your eyes open. He chuckles when he hears you start to snore softly, so he softens his words, letting you doze off, snuggling into you while he joins you in slumber.
He is the obvious solution to insomnia. He'll simply use dream magic to put you to sleep. Look no further, he is your savior.

Omnomnom dehydrated apple chips are some of my favorite safe foods
Actually yk what I'll ramble about my sensory shit
So like I've loved spicy, bold flavours like hot cheetos, curry, buffalo wings, etc, and I'll never not accept them as a safe food.
Sometimes though my sensory needs just- change back and forth, like from "I will vomit if I eat avocado toast today" to "avocado toast is the only thing I will accept as breakfast today" which is I guess where audhd comes in. There are some foods that bypass all my shifting needs, like strawberries, dehydrated apples, hot cheetos, potato chips, and pasta (ESPECIALLY the bowties omg I love the bowtie pasta)
Aside from taste needs, sometimes I really REALLY need a tight hug, not because I'm having a rough day but just because my body really wants to be under pressure for like 4 seconds and then it's good, aND THEN IT SWITCHES TO "If my parents even just barely touch my hair I will die of the sudden itch and sometimes even pain"
Also florescent lights just kill me most of the time which is why I am very happy that most of my teachers don't have every light turned on in their classrooms
I need socks to walk anywhere around my house but I will have straight up insomnia if I wear them to sleep
I haven't ever gone fully non-verbal but when I talk I either have to repeat myself 4 times because of how quiet I'm mumbling, stutter too much to the point where I just restart my sentence after pausing, repeat a word when I didn't mean to (for example during a chapter review of Lord of the flies I said "Piggy and Piggy" instead of "Jack and Piggy" and I got laughed at D:) ORRRRR I NEED TO BE TOLD TO BE QUIETER BECAUSE I'M RAMBLING TOOFASTANDLOUDDD
I have two special interests: my OC lore, and Genshin Impact. My childhood special interest was- also my old OC lore (7 year old me had the amazing and magical story, ever so creatively named "the enchanted forest") that went on for like 4-5 years where I would always want to talk about it and think about it to sleep, aaaaaand My Little Pony (I'VE REWATCHED MLP AND NINJAGO BOTH LIKE AT LEAST 8 TIMES but I wouln't call Ninjago a special interest bc it was more of an on and off obsession-)
I do also have hyperfixations ofc and they usually last up to 2 months, pretty sure that lines up with the statistical average idk
Also sometimes I just need to- punch something with full force. I never get to though and Ik it'd feel great (I did throw a pillow like 5 times in a call with my friend when I was hyper though so like... I've been able to get that excitement out-)
I'm sometimes really slow or just straight up zone out mid-conversation which is frustrating on both ends
I have a wide and advanced vocabulary for my age but [read the prior paragraph on talking], I usually don't get to use it to it's full potential because of that issue .-.
(I just realized this whole rant about my stuff is gonna be perfect for if I can ever actually get diagnosed by someone yayyy)
Mom told me that as a 1-3 year old I never really played with my toys but just lined them up either by size or color (yk those like- tower thingies with the rings of differing sizes and colors? I always ordered them correctly just out of the need for it to look right)
When I was 5 this girl in Kindergarten had a sling on but it was a fancy bedazzled sling so I really wanted to feel the gems but she wouldn't let me and I got sad :(
I've always loved swings and those like- spider web climbing equipment, still do just because I like rocking around and being able to stretch and hang and maneuver around the differently angled bars/ropes on the spider web thing (SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CALLED)
I also have this like- neck shaking and hand flapping tic/stim, sometimes it's uncontrollable sometimes it's a controllable urge, and when it's a tic it sometimes hurts or is just straight up excessive
Okay my mind is going blank now so buhbye this was super long if anyone read all of that- kudos to you, Idk why you would subject yourself to reading it all ok BYEEE

I wholeheartedly agree with you and other anon, I love Shayne and he’s been my top 3 for as long as I can remember but he hosts too many freaking shows. Anon only mentioned Reddit and the guessing but we also have who meme’d it, beopardy, and challenge pit technically bc he was in most of them. I know he’s pretty much the money maker of Smosh and everyone enjoys him but I miss back in the day where almost everyone had a show on pit they can enjoy. But honestly I think the reason he’s pretty much the only host is because it seems he’s one of the only people full time. So I feel like thats the smartest decision money and views wise. Idk I just miss when they actively tried out new shows, I know that those don’t really pay their bills but it would be nice bc it’s something new and refreshing. I think I’m just ranting at this point, I just NEED my babies to come back 😕
I totally didn't count those! I was mainly talking about "one person" videos where it's only Shayne + 1 or 2 other people, but yeah, no you're right he does HOST a LOT of shows.
I miss back when everyone had a 'show' too. "Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover" was my FAVORITE thing they did back in that time! (it might have been the only thing I watched at some points)
"I just miss when they actively tried out new shows"
Me too! They've been trying that out recently (kind of) and it's been some fun? It kind of seems like they don't want to spend too much money on newer content. Which I understand, but some of my FAVORITE videos are the low budget ones! like the squad vlogs!!! I LOVE THOSE. We don't want big impressive sets, we want the cast having a good time with a good premise!!! (I genuinely have no clue why they haven't tried more different stuff out. The only thing I can think of is they don't want a video to bomb and lose out on guaranteed money, but they aren't getting anywhere as they are rn. Risk = Reward gamble)
I am really starting to think they don't really know what they want to do on the channels because of how they are acting as of recent. They keep trying out stuff between things they know get views, (Sniper Chess - Reddit Stories) and I'm not saying I think they're shitting the bed or going bankrupt rn, just that they seem nervous?
OR y'know, they could just be planning big things for the future so that's why we've been getting these "low effort" videos.
Some of the best times I had watching Smosh was when they were doing different stuff on most uploads. They can keep the Reddit Stories and all their staple shows, but give me VARIETY. Like REAL variety. Don't force feed me content that doesn't even get you views, focus on building your fanbase! LOOK AT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY RAISED JUST DOING NOT EVEN AN HOUR AND A HALF LIVESTREAM???
21k IN 1hr 20mins ???? that's $262.5 dollars A MINUTE .....
THEY DONT REALISE HOW MUCH THEY SQUANDER THE FANS THEY DO HAVE.
do. better.
So sorry this ended in a rant, I just am very passionate about this subject! I WANT them to do well! I see all the ways they could have more and they just shit themselves and flounder, then act like they couldn't do anything, it's INFURIATING! They have a large fan base that loves them, that would be willing to help crowd fund most anything cool (summer games anyone?? I'm 100% certain that if they did a fundraiser for that we could get them AT LEAST 50k to spend on it) and they don't. do. anything.
Maybe I am just fully unaware about what goes on, and if I am lmk, but it really just feels like incompetence from the 'suits' at Smosh
Sorry this turned into a rant Anon :D I also have been in need of my cuties (IM GOING CRAZYYYY as you probably can tell from this post lmao)

Jane Talks Publishing, and Some Other Things-
I've had quite a few people mention this to me and that's honestly the only reason I'm bringing this up- However!
I've had quite a few people (before today but especially today thanks to my supply seeking positivity ask game) ask about wanting to get my books when they're published!
Well, I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately, so let's talk about that for a moment
I have been spending a couple months trying to get Karma Killer queried to agents. It has not gone well thus far - lot of rejections. This is normal, but I'm also not 100% if I'm gonna nail anyone with it, or my other works (maybe Serpents, but that's nowhere near a publishable state). There's reasons for that - for one, I haven't been able to afford a professional editor to go over my work, that's all been done by me.
For another, I have no publishing history whatsoever - I haven't been published anywhere, haven't self-published anything, don't have a large online platform, etc. They say everyone likes an underdog, but I think that quote needs to be revised, bc I've learned agents don't. Thirdly, my work in general is not what a lot of agents want to see - the market is really aimed towards romances and fluff and literally every single agent that I've seen that wants horror says they want the next fucking "Mexican Gothic". I have never learned such hatred for a single book. My work is not like Mexican Gothic. I didn't like Mexican Gothic, actually, so it's REALLY not like Mexican Gothic. But the few agents that want horror all want Mexican Gothic.
(I'm sorry if that rant seemed to come out of nowhere, but seriously, it's a real problem right now, I'm not exaggerating-)
ANYWAY. So this is all a long-winded way of saying I'm trying?? But I'm not 100% positive I'll manage to get trad-published, and I absolutely cannot afford to self-publish - I cannot work, I am too disabled to do so, which is. Lovely.
HOWEVER!!!
ALL THIS POSITIVITY AND SUPPORT HAS MADE ME REALIZE THAT I MAY HAVE WAY MORE OF AN AUDIENCE THAN I THOUGHT. LIKE, SERIOUSLY. A LOT OF YOU CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK THAT I DON'T REGULARLY TALK TO, EVEN, AND I WAS JUST. POSITIVELY DUMBFOUNDED!! REALLY.
So, yeah, I'm not going to make a habit of this (without being prompted), bc I hate feeling like I'm begging for attention or whatever. HOWEVER. If y'all want those books on your shelves and I am unable to get an agent, there is one thing you can do right now with no cost!
Just spread the word, tell people about my stuff maybe if you think they'd enjoy it?? By no means feel obligated, you're not marketing agents and you're people with your own lives, but yeah - if I get something of a "fanbase" (I cannot fathom it), I might be able to fundraise some money to self-publish in the event I can't find an agent - and then we can some print copies of my books :D
But, again, that's all up to you lovely folks. I just figured I might as well write about that whole process, bc hardly anybody does address the monolith that is publishing.
(If y'all do spread the word a bit though, actually let me know and I will get a cookie or something. A writing snippet I haven't shared publicly or something. This is, again, not me wanting to beg. I just don't have many options as an indie author and I figured I might as well talk about what I'm planning to do in the future to get these books out to you guys.)
Also, Karma Killer (finished) and Miasma (first draft) are available as PDFs - I can't put them publicly on Wattpad or anything, bc then agents will want them even less, but I can share them in private channels. So feel free to ask for those if you want, get an idea of what I'm trying to get published right now :)
Alright, that's all, I'll let you get back to your lives now :) Thanks for all the support, I have never felt this motivated and... empowered, I guess? in my life. Gotta be a better word for it than "empowered". But y'all are the best <3
General Taglist: @aohendo, @athenswrites, @impaledlotus, @bardic-tales, @carefulpyro, @marinesocks, @writingpotato07

Random personal rant
I've always seen people younger or older or maybe even my age freaking out bc they don't know what they want to do with their life or for example back when I was in school people were always worrying about what they wanna go and study and I was fortunate enough to never go through that I always knew exactly what I wanted and what I would love to do professionally, and I even went and studied for that area and graduated and I was always confused why people had such a problem with choosing this stuff bc I thought it was not a hard thing to do, but well I guess karma came to bite me in the ass for thinking that bc 2 years after I graduated, even though I still love what I studied for I'm starting to question all my choices, bc now I'm so much more interested in other stuff that I could easily go and study for and get a diploma, idk how this works anywhere else but where I live we have the option to have multiple diplomas in different areas and you can get the second one just by attending online classes so it's nothing like school but it still has that feel to it and it gives you the diploma in the end, and I'm considering applying for one, its been on my mind for a while and I feel like it's something I wanna do and if I change my mind I can just not follow that area or drop out bc it's literally free, but I'm so scared of having to commit to something and having to go through the anxiety of having something similar to school idk what to do, I need some sense knocked into me

oh Rid you can rant to us all you want, we're here for you too 🧡 i gotta agree with you and everyone, after finishing my masters a year ago everything just crushed and i ended up working on figuring out myself this past year, leaving everything i thought i would be doing by now. i guess that's my path that i'd never thought would be mine so i agree wholeheartedly that we have our own ways and time and pace 🫶 and a lot of time for good things and having fun 🧡 i'm shooting my shot at changing professions and starting anew bc i want to do what i think makes me happy, it's all chaotic in mid-20s but we're all doing our best love 🫂
thank you so much :( i don't usually like to rant (anywhere), but getting this off my chest felt so good... and i'm so sorry you struggled with this, too. it really does suck – we can complain about school as much as we want, but it's nice to be productive somehow. but you're so so right – we really do have our own pace and time, and we just need to figure out what to do with it. i've been trying a lot of new things that keep me occupied, but this week was/is a little... bleh.
i'm happy to hear you're starting anew! i hope you never forget that it's always okay to do so, and that you are doing your best indeed. such a crisis sucks, but i know things will be okay in the end 🤍 !!

so in brawl stars ive been helping out a friend who runs a club bc we were in game buddies around 2020, though he left and came back to play last summer. Anyway he is decent at organizing the club but he's a little harsh on who he allows to stay and the way he talks to people who are bad at the game or don't follow club rules to a T. I cannot for the life of me gage what age this guy is but he seems somewhere between 16-19 if i had to make a wild guess. Hes just a bit immature bc he will kick people out for petty reasons even if they are chill and contribute to the social nature of the clubs (ie. playing with club mates and talking in chat). So idek what he is building anymore he can't decide if he wants to focus on club league (independent of regular matches) or high trophies (regular match players). I get why he would do that but tbh the clubs are more fun when the same 30 people are in for a while and essentially build the community together. the dude ends up kicking 5/6 new players every week and I think at this point there are only about 14 of us MAYBE who were in the club when it first started. It's like high turnover bc the club itself isn't that fun, it's just that the rewards from club league participation make or break your in game progression to the point where I don't think I'd be unlocking anything new if I didn't do club league. So for now i will stay in this club because I don't have anywhere else to go and we are in the third highest rank so the rewards are decent. sorry for the rant ha

Is this really the end? I know we never had any distinct similarities, our personalities and lives a bit too different after many years. The last time we met before all these years had been when we were about 6, and then we were separated no forcefully, it just happend bc life. Then we find eachother on the day of registration for hs, then slowly became friends, slowly but still friends. I went to your Quince and you went to mine. Still very distinctly different but I loved and cared for you because my longer term friends have a special place in my heart, but I guess it didn't go both ways, I thought we were content and could work through our friendship. I always loved getting to hang out and would try to shove down the doubts of your reactions and enthusiasm to our conversations,that only seemed to want to be anywhere else at times. I tried planning out days, I ditched for you, I made excuses to answer your calls when you needed me, we tried drugs together for the first time. I listened to your rants and told you how you deserved better, I comforted you when you didn't want to hear that anymore. I listened and listened but I never felt heard myself. There was never enough comfort or reassurance to let myself go around you, which is mostly on me. I'm sorry I never felt comfortable enough. I'm sorry my advice and support was never the best I could've done. I'm sorry I started missing your calls. I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
We're in college now. Different schools because we've always had different ambitions. I left you alone because I had my own life too,maybe I was too dependent, too assured that you wouldn't go anywhere. I left because I was working with life and trying to fill my own life with my interests and meetings with people who were like me. I don't remember the last time we hung out. Did we even take a picture at graduation ? I miss you. November came along and I got the ding of reminder of your day. I had started working already, had a routine and was adjusted to college life. And we had texted, you had texted me and I responded-bexause that would be the only times we would have conversations- we had our brief conversations regardless time. It was you struggling alot of the time, I hope I held some comfort. Then I asked when you were free, I was willing to call in sick to my job that gave me random hours, I knew you also struggled with free days because they overwork you often. You said the day after your actual birthday, a Friday, perfect I only worked a 5 hour shift that ended at 12pm, and your classes ended at 12pm that day. I had thought of getting out early, getting you flowers because I know how much you love them, visiting your school and surprising you despite it being another hour up north to commute. The days went by and I accidently wished you for your birthday a day early, the day you hung out with samamtha. I hadn't been my best, work and exams had been on my ass, I didn't know what day it was unless I saw the calender. I apologized and rewished you well wishes at 12am the following day. 22 hours later you cancel our unplanned plans. It hurt. But I understood your reason, cramps get bad and I get it, I really do understand, I should've understood further when I didn't see any signs of a raincheck from your end. I let it go. The next day, I go on life360 and you're there, except you're not. You're not at school,okay yeah makes sense, but you're not home either... the area..his house? I'm not sure to this day (20 days ago) I don't want to know. Do you hate me? Dislike me? Similar questions I've had over the course of our reunited years. Questions I'm no longer willing to shove away. You have your own issues, I have mine. I've come to the conclusion, in this life in our current age, we simply don't fit in eachothers life. No matter how much or how little of an effort I try. Maybe it is the end. I've been considering calling you later tonight when I get home to ask if everything's okay and even a little confrontation, that most likely would just end in me crying. I've considered not answering you next time you text me wanting comfort that I don't have for myself to begin with. Then I consider, was our last message of my well wishes on your period our actual last? No was our last message was my reply to your story where you had shared your success and I had responded "I'm so proud of you " because I genuinely was so so proud of you and still am because I knew how much you wanted to get your license be more independent, have more control over your life and future career. How happy I was that things were finally going well for you. How much i wanted you to know that i heard her saw her and recognized her hard work. How you never even opened it.
You've gone back to posting on Instagram, that's a good sign, you're doing well, I'm happy. Maybe I'm being too sensitive. Maybe it shouldn't have hurt as much as it does to not see myself on your Thanksgiving appreciation story on Instagram with the qoute "very little people who have my heart like they do 🤍 so thankful". Maybe that shouldn't have been the last push to my last slimmer of hope to keep our friendship going. Maybe that was your indirect sign to let you go and let you live your life without me in it. Which as selfish as it sounds, I admit i have purposely continued to push myself into not falling out of your life. I wanted to belong as comfort to eachother. I shouldn't have let you affect me this much, I shouldn't have cried right now while looking back at our miscellaneous messages. I'm sorry if I was too much, I really do hope the best for you, I genuinely wish you to have a fulfilled life with your dreams coming true because you deserve it. You desreve it more than anyone I know. So please be happy and please stay healthy. I love you so so much. Maybe even too much. I'm sorry. I love you but you don't love me and that's okay. I just know it's time for me to move on. No matter how much it hurts, it's time and I'm devested. I'm devesated that you probably won't even notice, I'm hurt but I should know when I'm not wanted. I'm so sorry. Goodbye.
With love,
your oldest acquaintance.

Didn’t Colby said 3 weeks ago that he isn’t ready yet? Unless he did a 360 and completely changed his mind about it lol?
But eh I don’t have much opinion then if he said so himself that he really want to have someone in is life and that he is ready then I would be happy!..
at the same time I would find it weird that you’re going out and you already find a bf/gf on your first day lol but that’s just me I guess 😅
if he see some pics of onlyfans would be cheating?? I didn’t know lol 😳
I don’t want to cause you drama about all of this lol
What’s your personal opinion about all of this you can create a big rant about it lol!
Tumblr media
i don't really have too much to say bc this is barely news to me. there's nothing really to go off of. it's him next to a girl, possibly holding her hand. and that's about it lol
i think more ppl are making a bigger deal about it on here than anywhere else, which is a first.
i don't think he's dating this girl. he most likely went on a date with her. if it becomes something more, cool, but i'm not gonna hold my breath. colby has been seen with countless girls in the past and none of them became his gf. i think it's best if we just hold off on getting crazy in either direction - "omg i'm so happy for him" vs "stop talking about!!" - and just let shit play out as it will.
and you're not causing me any drama. you're not the first person to talk about this, and you won't be the last haha

What Germany (and possibly others) can learn from Singapore
Hey, it's me. I'm on vacation in Singapore rn and totally loving it. I'll be sad, when I have to go home. Not only is my vacation over, but I loose huge benefits the traffic solutions here come with.
Public transport here is the best and inexpensive I've ever expierienced.
Wanna go anywhere in the city? Just use the MRT or bus. You will get anywhere! Also the city is pretty walkable for one, which once was clearly based around cars. With 6-lane streets and stuff. Many over- and underpasses make crossing roads so easy. MRTs always have multiple exits so you can go, where you want underground or use it as underpass too. Oh yeah, one ticket is around 2S$ and depends how far you wanna go. I newer paid more than 3S$ on any trip. And I used it alot. (3S$ rn are about 2€).
Tumblr media
For Car traffic and air quality I will compare it to Hamburg. A city with roughly the same area but nearly 4 million people less living in it. Both are harbour cities and should benefit from oceanic winds to carry off polution.
Both cities have around the same air quality, which is odd, bc Hamburg should have way less with a third of the population, so why is this?
Well... Germans first of all love cars (I also love cars and own one) and they will fall back on the most ridiculous arguments to deny the benefits of (local) rail and public transport in general. When any city in Germany, would have a reliable, affordable and dense traffic net with high quality (in relation to it's population of course) like Singapore, I would immediatly dump my car and go full public transport.
But we can't do that, because we subjectively love cars more.
I only can recommend for more people to go visit Singapore to see, how it's done properly.
It's also noticeable, that the car traffic of a nearly 6 million people city like Singapore looks no more than the traffic in a 550k people city like Dresden and that's, bc it isn't more.
Tumblr media
[Personal Rant!]
Some Germans also have an absurd obsession with SUVs since they are a big thing. (Like, they are very big and a waste of space for that.)
I nearly encountered no SUVs in Singapore. I guess, bc the people there don't fall for the promise, that they have much space and are comfortable, bc they really aren't more comfortable than any other car and space is sometimes even less than in a sedan or in an estate car.
What people here drive instead are vans like the Toyota Noah and it's family, which have objectively more space and are g'damn comfortable. We don't have these models in Germany btw.
[Rant over]
Singapore is also one of the safest places in the entire world. Basically all asian cultures live in harmony together, without discriminating each other on looks or beliefs. This is beautiful. Also travel experts recommend this country for traveling alone and I can't contradict that. At first, I was scared going out alone, but day after day, I noticed, people in Singapore are polite, there is no crime or drunk groups of men on the verge of assaulting women (like it happens alot in Germany). People in Singapore usually mind their own business and it's even save to stay m out way after 10pm, I would even recommend, bc you will never expierience this feeling of safety at night in any european country. You can also trust that someone will call the police, as soon as they notice something sketchy and that the thing itself is on CCTV.
Tumblr media
The parks and recreational places are wonderful and the city is green. I mean, in every 5 walking-minutes, you'll encounter a park or fountain. I totally recommend going to Labrador Park, which is at the sea, has a near MRT station, beautiful forests and local wildlife. The Botanical Gardens Singapore are also worth a visit. I can't say anything about paid attractions, bc I just gone to the aquarium. Also go and see some temples, they look beautiful. You can enjoy the city basically for free, if you know places or just stay curious. For people, who enjoy Malls, I recommend the Vivo City Mall and the Atrium@Orchard. You can also talk to anyone you need in English.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In conclusion for me:
If you ever want to see city planning done right, public transport done perfect, public safety on its best and a green metropole, Singapore is just the place for you.
I'll genuinely will miss this place, bc it has all the qualities, I wish my country would have, but never will get, bc we are making decisions in the wrong direction.

to avoid annoying my friend by bombarding him with multiple pictures of rocks, here's a bunch of cool geological stuff i saw in the cliffs and the beach on my walk today with lengthy explanations ! i forgot to use things for scaling in all of these so I'll just be going off what i remember unfortunately. but yeah i really just wanted to rant about my special interest because i don't live near cliffs so this is the perfect opportunity to do some geology bc I MISS MY GEO LESSONS!!!! also this is all just from memory. if im wrong about something that is why lmao
Tumblr media
we start off with a fun little symmetrical gentle anticline. nothing too remarkable but i was nevertheless happy to see it.
Tumblr media
some pretty visible soil creep :3
Tumblr media
a LOT of landslips happen along this coastline (clearly), probably due to the poor cementation of the rock. its pretty young (deposited within the last 2 million years according to which papers I've read) so it's had less time to. you know. cement. its also mostly muds and clays, so they get easily waterlogged and effected by weathering which causes the landslips.
Tumblr media
here's some more slumps and such. i *think* i saw some slump rotational slides but i don't know if i got pictures and if i did i don't remember enough about them to identify them from the images.
Tumblr media
cont'd from above. ^^^^
also just here is some REALLY COOL folding at the base of the cliff no im serious just look at that series of folds. this one actually had a random person in the photo too so there's some idea of scale. like just look at that big eroded anticline up top and below is the other folds. YIPPEEE
Tumblr media
so originally i thought there was a lot of tilting which technically there is but i think its mostly due to the landslips and such. i think portions of the cliff have collapsed or slipped which causes these parts of the rock face to drop down whilst still remaining in tact. you can kinda see it in these?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there is also a lot of clay which i found out is from the forest bed formation which dates from around 2ma to 500,000 years ago. its generally up to about 6m thick. the clay itself is from freshwater deposits (i think some of the stuff i read said there used to be a river there with its source being in the pennines but don't quote me on that.)
i wish id gotten closer to the cliffs to see what the rocks and sediment are like but i was walking with my sister and my dog and both of them wanted to get going lmao because the walk itself was about 2 and a half hours. for fluvial deposits at this distance from the sea, assuming this area was once the site of a river mouth, i would expect to see generally well sorted, well rounded grains, or a lot of muds. there were definitely a lot of muds present which could indicate a river mouth but it may also just be from the forest bed, and the same goes for the clays. i think i read somewhere that the clays are from 0.5 to 0.8ma, and may be indicative of a river bed since its literally the smallest grain size (platy particles which are hard to erode due to their shape. ALTHOUGH. some clays are more likely to become waterlogged and swell which can cause more cliff failures (i THINK its due to gaps between bonds but im not too sure. something like Kimmeridge clay? nope i looked it up that's a specific deposit of clay. im thinking about 1:1 and 2:1 clays - specifically kaolonite (1:1 which allows for minimal swelling) and montmorillonite (2:1 which allows for more swelling as water can penatrate the spaces). i cannot for some reason find anywhere what kind the clay here is and i don't know how to assess it myself or if i even can/could assess it so. that just remains as a tangent.))
i looked it up. i am correct about river mouth muds and clays.¹ the clays and muds are indeed from fluvial deposits. there's also floodplain stuff. i love being correct about things i like. AYO I just saw it was also an estuary look at me slaying. although that wasn't hard to guess since this is a modern day coastline and this geology is very recent lmao.
there's also glacial deposits which includes banding i believe in the rocks but im going to be real with you, i didn't do near as much research into that can't remember shit about it. here's what i think might be it though lmao. glacial stuff is characterised most often by poor sorting, generally very angular grains and such which makes up glacial till. id put a picture in but i reached the limit now im writing this bc this post was not written chronologically. here is what probably is the till.
Tumblr media
then here's a formation i simply enjoyed the look of. we also saw a seal :3
Tumblr media
I don't have all the references because some of this is just from my own knowledge and understanding but here are some of the papers i used to research. i can't be bothered to do proper harvard referencing, and i don't think anyone particularly cares or are going to look at them but here's them just in the off chance someone did want to look at them lmao
¹ i know wikipedia isn't a reliable source for academic research or papers but this is a tumblr post in which im literally just ranting about my special interest. this is the source.

i dont know what's wrong with me, whenever I'm drawing/ painting I'm enjoying it so much like I'm having the time of my life, it's like the only thing that I can do and get lost in the zone while doing it, when I finish though...I hate how it looks like, like I despise it, and I try to tell myself it's ok bc I don't want a career in art, I'm not posting it anywhere and it's just for me and maybe my close friends, but I can't help comparing myself to other people when I see their art and it just sucks, I watch a bunch of tutorials and observe people's process like MAYBE if I do this right then I'll finally be satisfied. sorry for ranting in ur asks u can ignore this if u want I just needed to tell someone
don't apologise!! I'm absolutely always down to talk about art process and how it sometimes really really sucks and feels bad lmao
honestly comparing my art to others is something i really really struggle with, and i find it really hard to figure out my own style and artistic voice and not like absolutely hate it compared to other people. but its so awesome that you find so much joy in the process and you gotta hold on to that and focus on that enjoyment and fullfilment that you get from it!
idk if you want my advice like i don't want you to feel like i'm lecturing at all so you can totally ignore me but my take under the cut so i dont blow up anyones dash
if i was in your situation and just really not liking the outcome of things that you're doing, i'd go full experimental with it
i did this a LOT in school where when i hated every single thing i made i would just stop and start doing all sorts of like random clay crafts or weaving or like one semester i full on painted stuff and just detroyed the shit out of it. it's hard to compare yourself to others with that kind of stuff bc it's not anything you poured your heart and soul into
if that doesn't appeal to you, you could also try stuff like doing studies and copies, even tracings. just experiment drawing in different styles and practice drawing an object that you really like. when i'm really really down on my art i usually just draw a bunch of like shitty cartoon cats or frogs on a page just because i don't trust that anything else that i draw will come out any good, but i can still enjoy the process plus then i have a bunch of frogs
anyway just trust that happiness you feel when you make art!! that's it! thats the whole point you already have everything you could ever need
also here is an example of the aformentioned "just draw random shit" when i guess i was pretty angy about not being able to draw

Hi there! I saw your request are open if you don't mind could you do enha reaction to arranged marriage with fluff ending ^^. Thank you so much also sorry if I disturbing you. May you always have good day. ↖(^ω^)↗
a/n : SORRY THIS TOOK LIKE AGES I HOPE YOU ENJOY THOUGH ,, currently tryna clear out my inboxes as much as I can ; requests are still open ;))
Enhypen with an arranged marriage 💍
Genre : arranged marriage 😺👍
Warnings : I don’t think there’s any but if there is plz feel free to lmk !!
Requested : yes tyty !!!!
Tumblr media
Heeseung
So his parents were like yeah she’s gonna be your wife and you can’t do anything abt it 😹😹
So he was basically just like uh okay ??
Probably a bit annoyed abt how his whole marriage was arranged without his permission
but like yk this is just a business relationship ntg more than that
‘let’s just meet the girl my parents set me up with’
His rich parents reserved a spot at a really fancy dinner to have dinner with your family to let you and Heeseung meet each other for the first time
When he first sees you his first thought abt you was stunning, beautiful
And surprisingly you two get along really well, a little too well
You guys were stuck to eachother like glue for the rest of the night
His parents notice how he looks at you differently, he can’t contain his smirk/smile ever since he met you
You two ended up living a happy life together with no regrets <3
Tumblr media
Jay
At first he wasn’t really happy.....
he barely gets into fights w his parents cuz yk jay is very respectful
but this time he was really mad “ARE YOU CRAZY YOU PREPARED AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE FOR ME WITHOUT MY CONSENT??”
might even raise his voice a bit
Convinced himself that he will hate you
Probably not interested in you what so ever
but tbh he is interested to see who’s he’s stuck with for at least two years until the contract is over-
hehe,, little did jay know...
for some reason when he met you at the party he was feeling nervous ??!?? THE jay park feeling nervous bc of some girl *gasp
ngl you two really did have some sort of chemistry
After a while it was hard for you not to fall in love with his personally so here you are head over heels for the boy
And to your luck he felt the same
jays parents : “see this isn’t so bad is it”
will definitely end up keeping you 💪
Tumblr media
Jake
ngl he was pissed off when he figured out that he wasn’t able to make any decisions abt the arranged marriage
Probably really really annoyed but knows he can’t do anything about it. His rich parents wanted him to marry a girl who was also rich as him so two families can become powerful.
Most likely to rant to Layla how he doesn’t want to meet you because he thinks you’re probably going to end up being own fo those snotty rich girls
But oh boy was he wrong
You were the most humble sweet funny girl he could ever imagine, you were beyond his expectations
Yeah he met a lot of hot/pretty/cute girls but all of them had horrible personalities
he found it attractive how you were different
you two ended up having so much in common and wouldn’t be able to separate for the rest of the night
Anywhere there is jake there will also be you ;)
So I guess you can say you guys got along well
you got along really really well..;) a little too well..........
Tumblr media
Sunghoon
Mad to the point that he’d ignore everyone and not speak at all. Pissed off to the extent !!
Tbh he probably didn’t even want to meet you, scratch that he didn’t even want anything to DO with you.
Like jays parents they reserved a spot at a expensive seven star restaurant
The whole dinner he was cold, rude and arrogant. Would sigh a lot and glare 😺
though you were a totally opposite personality of him. You’re were bubbly, sweet and cute
even though he wanted to hate you he couldn’t he hated to admit but you were really adorable
he might even sneak a smile, well not sneak cuz when he smiles everyone seems to notice. (Lets just pretend he’s cold too every girl he meets but w u it was different lolol)Sunghoon has such a cute smile
As days goes by living with you he learned how much he cared for you and that his feeling grew ever single the day he met you
Ice prince finally now had an ice princess
after two years had passed the contract was over but he was already in love with you by then, you two ended up getting married properly this time
You guys were a match made in heaven 🌥
Tumblr media
Sunoo
I don’t think he’d mind, he might just be disappointed but tbh idk I don’t think he’d care.
As long as you’re not one of those stuck up bitches !!!!
but like he would definitely be surprised when he heard the words ‘arranged marriage’ his face would be like 😯 huh???
Actually kinda excited to meet you, he loves meting new people
when he finds out that you’re cute beautiful smart and kind. He knew that you two would get along quite well
You guys matched each others energy so well, you guys quickly became best friends so you didn’t mind living with him
He was a great cuddle buddy
so after a while of all this skinship and spending so much time together being able to be yourself you soon fell for him and viseversa
You two are blessed to have eachother, you guys ended up being soulmates until the next life and so on forever
Tumblr media
Jungwon
Like sunghoon he would be super cold
He wouldn’t even wanna meet you nor have anything to do w you
He’s mad at the universe that he never got a chance to find his soul mate on his own
But little did he know he was abt to meet her at *wink wink your house
Was actually forced to be here, and already planned out in his head that he wasn’t going to talk to you and have his poker face one the whole time
you ended up being really pretty, sweet and funny.
He forgot all about his plan to try and push you away instead he unintentionally did the opposite 😭😭
You two exchanged phone numbers, he put your name under as ‘future wife ❤️’
It was supposed to be a business relationship but he ended up having a really big crush on you
boy can never ever keep his smirk to himself
He’s just so adorable himself how can you not fall for him 😞😞🤲
Tumblr media
Niki
Another one that would be pissed and disobey their parents
Would probably “run” away to some convenience store nearby to get some bungeopang where he bumped into some girl that was tryna grab the last snack
He wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone and neither were you
You two ended up bickering whether who gets to keep the snack when you suddenly blurt our “IM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD MY PARENTS JUST TOLD ME THAT IM GOING TO BE IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE WITH SOME GUYS NAME RIKI SO JUST ELT ME HAVE IT PLEASE”
Then he’d be like “really you too??? I’m riki”
He lets you have the snacc cuz he sorta likes you even though he just met you :,)
You two ended up talking to eachother for the rest of the night until one of you had to go home
Ended up realizing how funny and cute you were. Comes home with a big ass smile in his face
hehe
that’s how he met his future wife

didn't realize my last one was that long. Geez (this one is also fucking long, bare with me)
I feel like ever since elementary, all our teachers liked to talk about how the opposite of love isn't hate (there was even a text during 6th? grade about this whole thing.)
Tbh I haven't looked much into lore so I only know the gist of it(I'm such shit, but I know I will have literally no time to study if I get invested in the dsmp) so there may be wild guesses here and there down below.
The way Quackity's expressions ranged from stoic to a weirdly kind smile to aggressively scary and ruthless, it's all just so.. *gestures wildly with hands because I have no words* ..angsty. The grip on Dream's hair like he wants him to listen carefully but he is losing all patience and sanity and sympathy for Dream. The crazed look from Quackity(his last block) is just so cold and bitter and kind of filled with self-pity, like he's been there before (I actually don't know if that's the case lmao) it's the look from textbook villians(I know he's not one) when they become insane and starts spilling all that they know in the most poisonous way possible.
Also, again, last block giving me chills. Sapnap's glare and George just walking away with absolutely no care and no desire to turn around sums it up beautifully. Good work, really really beautiful.
-✗
putting this on read more bc i will be ranting LMAO. buckle in, this will be long.
thank you!! :] i absolutely love seeing people see how i organized the colors and panels to be the way they are. and the expressions as well, i had fun making those!
i really like this one bc its short but it goes pretty deep into the lore. i had to think about the flow of the panels and the colors and poses of the comic since its only 3 pages and i dont have much to tell the message aside from those things asgssdfgh
i originally saw the concept (opposite of love isnt hate) from a tiktok HAHAH i dont think weve ever tackled that in literature or anywhere at school unfortunately :(( im a big fan of metaphorical/poetic statements too. tho its technically logical, but weve been so used to hate being described as the opposite of love that its just mind-boggling for me to hear that lol
i actually understand you lol im currently done with school at the present moment but a few months ago i barely even posted, even more drawn anything bc i was so busy with school. since youre still not done, good luck with that!!
but oh lord am i a hoe (a WH**E) for lore.
ive thought of this for a long time now but i just had to urge to get to drawing it when my twt tl starting going deep into c!dream's lore.
i just ABSOLUTELY love lore revolving around the dt. (maybe because im more attached to them whoops)
its just so fascinating to think about. (everything onwards is /rp and /character) also, you said youre not that caught up with lore so if you dont get these things or dont wanna bother/get spoiled, you can just ignore it lol i just really needed to rant about his character thats all, needed to get it off my chest phew
dream from the start had a plan: make everyone on the server hate him and build a prison for someone so strong it'll be needed. for me there is no way he was talking about tommy or techno then. no way.
he definitely had a fall to corruption. what he did with tommy during exile, that one is inexcusable ofc but the other things??? destroying the community house, siding with techno during his arrest, even destroying a whole ass country (this one might just be him reaching his limit against lmanberg, being the first and basically only country to defy him sm and stuff)
its weird and interesting in a way. what he did, the destruction, telling everyone he has no more attachments, not even sapnap and george, putting george on the throne then dethroning him not long after-- all these things just seems like it's part of his plan you know???
but like, what for? why? what does he want? earlier in the smp, he just wanted to build a home for them, one that will grow and be beautiful (theres a certain tiktok edit of this one, i am going to cry) he was such a good guy in the earlier days, he just wanted to take care of the server and take on the responsibilities expected of him but it just all... fell?
but even then, from the start, i cant help but think that he was already alone. sure, he had sapnap and george and the others but after everything: after sapnap was so quick to jump on tommy's side after ONE thing that dream said in the heat of the moment to threaten tommy (the 'i dont care about anything' bit), not trying to clear it up with dream and with george being so quick to side with other people's statement (dream dethroned him bc he hates him, etc) than dream's own (to protect george), its just so sad. not to mention even before everything, those two formed new nations without dream before; while dream was fighting for his own alone, they didn't really care enough. they did this again, with kinoko kingdom but tbf, the destruction of the community house felt like the end of the greater dream smp.
its just... sad and tragic, his whole character. his life is like the joker, baby. BAHAHAHA
