"Do you ever wish there was fanfiction of a fanfic?" I do. I do so fucking bad. I want fanfiction about Tommy's Clinic for Supervillains, because sometimes I genuinely forget that's a fanfic and not a book that should have its own fandom.
Every time I see that book on my shelf I'm just filled with this urge to read it all again, learn everything about the world building and write my own multi chapter fanfic about it, but focused on Disc Duo. Like, I need it. There's so much potential and so many things that could happen after the end of TCFSV. I'm such a sucker for vigilante/hero/villains aus AND for disc duo AND for that fanfic because it is so good
The only problem is that I want it to just exist so I can read it, not to actually write it. Which is such a struggle because I don't think anyone will write it.

okay i'd expect nothing less from you the c!dream design game of that animation has Insane, it's both very aesthetically apealing and undeniably threatening, i loved the death note scene where it flicks through the different designs, it's such a cool effect
dude that final shot was great, this has got to be my favourite cdream centric animatic because it perfectly straddles the line between 'this is a guy' and 'what is this guy doing /concerned, /intimidated'. and while i am not a large cdrunz fan myself (95% because of the name lol) even i can admit that that scene was Cute. poor guy overworked himself playing server-sized 5D-chess jenga
honorary mention to the scene where tommy knee slides towards his chest because it looks both very funny and very cool. i didn't even notice dream's reflection in the discs at first but it's such a neat detail this fandom is one of a kind, we have actual 3D animators making little music videos for our minecraft roleplay. how crazy is that
and oh god. lnv finale stream predictions. my instinctive reaction to it was *worried screaming* but realistically i'd say we can expect a wonderfully crafted story, great dialogue and Big cinema. okay but there are two things that are certain, death, taxes and a major cdream appearance in the las nevadas finale. if cq doesn't end up losing atleast one life and or sitting shell shocked in the smoldering ruins of his city im going to riot. or rather. im not enough of a cq or ccq main to gauge what kind of ending he wants for the story. i'm also crossing my fingers for a fiances conversation which more likely due to sapnaps connection to dream, wedding? very unlikely. i don't think we're going to see charlie again. i have so many ideas on how the whole dream foolish situation is might play out. i don't think we'll have a purpled 2.0 situation, listen 'any predictions for the las nevadas finale' is a very complex question. to be honest i am mainly shaking with excitement because it's going to be Cool
Yeah that's exactly it it's still like a tall lanky dude with long hair and I would say he does look just pretty on certain shorts but it's still threatening and sharp if you will that it's still concerning whatever this random guy is doing should scare you
All the shots and effects on this thing were so cool this fandom it's really so different from anywhere else I can't imagine ever getting into anything else that will have things like this happening more than once
Tbh I mostly call c!Dunz c!Staged Duo because it just sounds way cooler but c!Drunz still gets used for the more shippy sense I suppose so I will have to nevermind the fact that it sounds how it sounds
I really liked the contrast between this guy is playing 5D chess on his own against the world and somehow not totally losing and he's very intimidating and very dangerous and up to Something
And also just after slaving himself to his plan he too gets tired and he too is just a person who at the end if exhausted enough will just fall asleep anywhere and having c!Punz there to care for him was cute it endeared my heart
Same worried screaming I'm a fool but I still want that wedding so bad it doesn't even have to be a big event anymore just want them to get married just want them to talk at all please please cc!Sapnap and cc!Karl let me have this
(On the other hand I think my want for the c!Fiances to be together has kinda shown me how from a c!Inniter pov c!Dreambur hurts because on one hand I want them together so bad on the other he would be seeing his brother marry his abuser and I would just wanna die immediately)
Ooohhh I would die for a c!Dream appearance a big c!Dream apparence I don't exactly want c!Dream to be the reason it all falls apart tho it would be cool I want it to be all from mistakes c!Quackity has made I want it to hurt I want it to reflect and he should lose a life just as a treat and if c!Dream can take it or be there while it gets taken all the better
C!Sam also totally 100% gotta be there he just gotta
I do believe there's going to be something about c!Slime but I don't really think the little bit between c!Foolish and c!Dream is really gonna come into play because I think cc!Quackity's is definitely the most scripted and that bit was entirely improved from what I remember and c!Foolish didn't really accept right away but I still think it would be really cool if they were involved somehow
At the end I just know cc!Quackity puts all his blood sweat and tears into his lore streams so it's going to be amazing regardless of how it is

AYE requests briefly open you say? Then here ya go: MC (female or gn) turns into a child for a day courtsey of Solomon (maybe around 5) with the Brothers. I think it'd be adorable, what with finger painting on spell books and things, but there ya go!
The MC is Now Five Years Old, Thanks Solomon...
Oh boy…. A little kid in Hell sounds like a train wreck admittedly, but at least they'll have some pretty strong guardians right? I heard It'll Be Okay by SMLE & Helen Tess and decided that was JUST the feel this sort of request needed.
Intro:
Solomon really doesn't mess up spells often. He's been doing this for a while (at least as far as my headcanon is concerned) so he's gotten pretty damn good at magic over the years. It takes a looot to make him mess up. Like say, a natural disaster, an unexpected surprise… or a whole-ass MC getting knocked into what sigil he's using at just the wrong time. Yeah. That'll do it.
How in the world is he going to explain this to the brothers…?
Lucifer
His anger toward Solomon is quite severe… tempered only slightly by how utterly adorable kid!MC is. (Well all know he's got that soft spot for cute things 🤭) It reminds him so much of his brothers at that age…
The man basically reverts back to being Dad!Lucifer sooo fast.
He's the one tying their shoes, checking on them throughout the day, making sure they're not running with scissors… that sort of thing.
Weirdly enough he's not that bothered by it… In fact, his brothers find it a little unnerving just how at peace he seems when he's keeping track of kid!MC doing this or that… It's like he's just put on an old pair of gloves and found out they still fit.
Speaking of his brothers, Lucifer can't turn off "Parent Mode" so it starts spilling over to them too...
When he started telling Levi "It's bedtime" and used a napkin to wipe Beel's face for him in public, they decided to hold an informal intervention. They're grown demons now, damnit!! 😖
Mammon
The first thing kid!MC did when they saw Mammon was fling themselves at him while screaming "MAMMIE!!!" at the top of their lungs… Regardless of his confusion, the man could probably die happy now.
He only gripes a little bit about being saddled with babysitting duty… Because everybody knows he's not the babysitter now. He's the playmate.
"Mammie, I wanna play House!!" "I ain't playing House with ya, kid. How 'bout Tag?" "No way, you're too fast!"  "Hide'n Seek?" "Luci said we can't play that no more…" "Well don't hide in the oven again!" "You didn't find me!!" "That was the problem!!!"
Pretty much the Man-Child/Actual Child Duo. He's perfect for keeping up with them and they'll whine incessantly when they can't find him for too long...
Totally the brother to take them to the amusement park or really any of those super fun places kids love. He will be just as excited as they are to be there, too.
It's not uncommon to find Mammon passed out on a couch or something with an equally exhausted kid!MC sleeping on his back. The two can really wear each other out…
Leviathan
He's probably the least perturbed by this change. Sudden de-aging of characters is a pretty popular anime trope, after all...
He's not all that taken with kid!MC though to be honest… Largely because he's too worried about keeping his stuff out of their grubby mitts. 😖
"Levi, what's this?" "GAH! Don't touch that!! That's my limited edition Ultra☆Rainbow Witch figurine!!" "I wanna play with it, though!" "It's not a toy!!" "That's not fair! You have nothing but toys, Levi!! You need to share!!" "NO I DON'T!!!"
In those times where Lucifer forces him to share, Levi goes full neat-freak. He handles all the discs and games himself, everything gets practically sterilized, and kid!MC HAS to wash their hands before they touch ANYTHING (especially the game controllers). He ain't risking any random kid-gunk getting on his precious possessions… 😰
He does enjoy playing games with them well enough, at least. No one's going to pass up a game of Devil Kart after all!
Sometimes he'll let them win just to see how happy they get… Though, then they start getting a big head about it so he has to remind him who the actual gamer is with another string of losses... Sucks to suck, kid! 😌😏
Satan
… You know, five year-olds ask a lot of questions… A looot of questions…
"Satan, what's that?" "An umbrella. You use it so that rain doesn't get on you." "Where does rain come from?" "Evaporated water collects in the atmosphere and-" "Is rain like the sky peeing?" "...." "Satan? Does your face hurt?... Satan?"
Please Lord, they may not be on speaking terms, but someone has to have mercy on his patience...
In truth, Satan's kind of charmed by how curious kid!MC is, he just wished they'd listen more to his boring explanations…
"Satan? Why does everyone listen to Diavolo?" "Lord Diavolo is like a king to us demons." "Where's his crown?" "He doesn't wear a crown." "Oh… You don't wear a crown and people listen to you. Are you a king too?" "I mean, you're not wrong… 😏" "Satan, get back to work."
Eh, maybe having a little MC isn't all that bad. They don't lie, after all. 😌
Asmodeus
OMG he hasn't seen a child this cute since the twins were in diapers!!!!
If Mammon isn't around then Asmo takes over babysitting duties (like an actual babysitter) and he's more than happy to do it. It reminds of him of taking care of baby Belphie!
If kid!MC has any interest at all in makeup then he's happy to foster it. He won't give them the good stuff of course, but he'll show them how to do blush, eyes, lipstick, nail polish, whatever!
He also dabbles in a bit of facepaint so do they want to look like a kitty, panda, or dragon? He's got them covered.
Asmo just likes to let them be creative in all forms, really. He's going to be the one to break out the paint and markers and just the kid!MC go to town! (hopefully not on the walls…)
Takes pictures of whatever they draw, good or bad, and happily displays them to everyone. There's not a big enough fridge to hold all the art he's going to collect (and zealously protect).
Beelzebub
Playmate #2 right after Mammon, but he's the less excitable, more responsible one.
"Beel! Beel! Watch me jump off this slide!!" 😰 "Please don't… You could hurt yourself… You slide down slides. That's why they're called that." "*GASP*... That's right! You're a genius!!" *sits back down* "Not really, but thank you." 😊 *waits for them at the bottom*
If the MC is with Beel, they're doing one of two things. Either they're playing together or gorging themselves on junk food.
Beel actually likes "domestic" games like House and Tea Party because it's an excuse to raid the kitchen. He'll play "house-husband" all day as long as he gets to actually eat at every imaginary dinnertime.
He'll play active games too, of course. Especially action-oriented ones like "Cops and Robbers" or Superheros. No one's better at roughhousing than Beel! Though he'll go easy on them, cause they're small and all… 😅
Everyone can always tell when Beel's in charge of them because he carries them around on his shoulders. He's the tallest one of the family so it's like getting to be a giant!
Belphegor
Belphie was introduced to kid!MC when they started crying during one of his naps. They couldn't wake him and they thought he was dead… Followed directly by them declaring their tears were magic when they noticed his eyes opened.
He proceeded to close his eyes again and purposely play dead just to get them all worried again. It was the smile creeping up onto his face that eventually gave him away… 😏
He likes to play with kid!MC and Beel but he's not going to let it get in the way of his nap schedule or anything. When they play "Knights" he gets to take the role of the world's laziest dragon… Rawr.
Kid!MC will only settle down for naptime if Belphie joins too since he'll read them a book like he used to do with Lilith.
Satan's usually the go-to guy for storytime, but Belphie's a close second (largely because he just imitates what he remembers Lucifer doing for him, voices and all 🤭).
He deals with their myriad of questions by just making shit up and pretending he knows what he's talking about. It's around the time that he told them that little men live inside the freezer and shave ice cubes to keep things cold that Lucifer started getting on his case about it… Killjoy. 🙄

initial thoughts on gintama characters PART 2
here is the original post, if you wanna see. for anybody who's curious, i'm doing this because my mortal enemy (i.e. friend) wants essays about my thoughts on these characters... acting like this show is a class fr. i hate and love you in equal measure my dearest nemesis <3
i know you've been waiting for this one for a WHILE, so without further adieu, here is my initial impression of your babygirl, Takasugi Shinsuke.
(note: i know some spoilers about gintama, so my opinions are not gonna be clean or whatever because of that)
ALSO... THIS IS ALL SPECULATION. don't take me too seriously. i'm not trying to start disc/horse
takasugi is a man i have been waiting to meet, because @takasugisbabygirl is so in love with him, and i want to understand why. also just, the few spoilers i do know about him make me want to off myself.
so naturally, i squealed when he showed up on screen in episode 17. he was finally here !!!! and he wouldn't be showing up again for another 41 episodes, but i'll take the crumbs i can get.
my first thoughts were: 1) oh he's gonna be sooooooo fucked up and deranged for sure, and 2) THAT VOICE
THAT VOICE... oh my gosh. his voice suits him perfectly, Takehito Koyasu played him so well... wow. also, he was wearing a hat !!!!! idk what else to say about the hat, i just appreciated it is all.
okay, so a bunch of other stuff happens in this episode, so i'll scream about that briefly, before getting back to takasugi.
SHINPACHI MY TONE-DEAF SON... I LOVE YOU
KAGURA YOU ARE SO REAL AND WONDERFULLY 14 FOR ENACTING A SOAP OPERA... MY DAUGHTER... I LOVE YOU
GINTOKI I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR COTTON CANDY EVENTUALLY BABE
this ep was fucking DRAMATIC, i think nothing will top how heartfelt episode 13 was for me, it just HIT
KAGURA AND SOUGO WERE SUCH A FUN DUO.. THE SADISTS ARE TEAMING UP !! (i do not ship them because gross, and i have been informed that gin / kagu are unfortunately a big ship in this fandom??? y'all need buddha and allah and christ and five more different kinds of divine intervention fr)
that moment when gintoki and that inventor man (gengai or smth) were having ramen, and speaking about war and loss with that sad fucking piano ost... maybe it hit me a little. genuinely, i hate thinking of gintoki being in pain, i hate thinking of him experiencing loss, even when i'm vaguely aware of his backstory.
...
ANYWAYS... back to takasugi. HE WAS WATCHING YOROZUYA AND GENGAI WORKING... i wanna know what was going on in his head. what did he think when he saw gintoki? is this the first time he's observed from afar? what did he think when he saw gintoki with his surrogate children? i just want to know what he thought.
i can vaguely speculate, that he was angry, because i think he has so much of it that he doesn't know where to put it. i think he may have also felt a bit betrayed, seeing gintoki move forward with other people in his life, seemingly forgetting the past. he says as much later on, though not in those words exactly. i'm just fascinated by his heart and mind and thoughts.
speaking offffff....... that moment when he cornered gintoki after the fireworks show!!!! dear fucking god!!!!!! i don't know how to properly articulate all my feelings about this, but i will try.
1) takasugi is tasking himself with keeping gintoki busy, because he knows that even in gintoki's "defanged" state, he's a threat to the chaos and destruction takasugi wants to incite.
2) he's fucking deranged and i already love him
3) the metaphor of the beast. gosh, this was so well done. it was clear and obvious what the metaphor meant, but it's also very layered. just, wonderful! takasugi and his beast that screams outwards, that's unruly and set loose to destroy everything, because he has nothing left to protect, nothing to really fight for, just wanting to burn the world that took everything from him. wow.
gintoki and his beast that screams inwards, that's caged and locked, and silently ruining him on the inside. the rage he feels turned inward at himself for not being able to protect everyone in the past. which then manifests as him doing everything he can to protect his loved ones now. because the past is the past, even if it haunts him, what's done is done, all he has is what's in front of him. (again, this was really wonderfully set up and displayed in ep13, when kagura and shinpachi were taken away by space pirates. that moment when gin see's them being dragged away and the panic and desperation all over his face... dear god.)
4) this leads me into the set-up for what i know will be an ongoing theme of duality. gintoki and takasugi, two sides of the same coin. protection vs destruction. internalization vs externalization. glittery pink comic sans 'i will protect you' vs flaming cryptic gothic 'i will destroy you'. they're two poles, facing each other, mirroring each other, outwardly different, but stemming from the same roots. it's set up sooooo well, and i'm deeply excited to see where this will go.
5) the "fangs" : this was a veryyyy interesting metaphor. gintoki asking whether takasugi provoked gengai into attacking. and then takasugi talks about the "fangs" about the "white demon" and goshhhhh so much foreshadowing??? all for me??? i feel spoiled.
it also offers some insight into how takasugi views the world, but especially gintoki. in takasugi's eyes, gintoki has also lost all meaning, and in a way, he's not wrong. in takasugi's eyes, gintoki has forgotten his past, forgotten what the world did to him. takasugi doesn't, on a fundamental level understand how gintoki can be so... idle. how he's able to exist with the past that he has, and how he isn't just as furious with the world. and therein comes takasugi's belief as to what "fangs" are, and why he thinks gintoki lost his. why find new things to protect when you failed the first time around? why have new things to lose when the loss already broke you once before? why do anything other than let the wretched, indifferent world burn?
i need to mention, this is all speculation. i haven't gotten into takasugi or gintoki's backstories all that deeply. i don't know exactly what happened to them, but i am somewhat aware of it.
anyways, back to "fangs" because we got a little off-track. i think this whole thing is fascinating. because "fangs" can mean anything depending on who the person in question is. for takasugi, it's his desperate ambition to destroy whatever lays before him. for gintoki it's his opposing need to protect what matters to him. for gengai it was about control, about directing his grief somewhere, so he can, if only for a moment, feel less unmoored.
it's just a very interesting thing to me, and i'm excited to see how it's explored later.
aaaaaaaah so this became a little less about takasugi, and more about takasugi and gintoki.... i don't think i can be blamed though. they're literally mortal enemies, deeply intertwined, etc etc. gay as hell.
okay back to takasugi. i'm soooo intrigued by this man. i love his voice and his monologues. i love that he's deranged, but i'll probably be in pain later because i just Know i'll love him and wish for him to be happy instead.
and back to this episode... he is so, gosh... what a wonderfully set-up antagonist. that moment when gintoki grabs his sword with a bare hand, declares easily that he's not defanged like takasugi thinks, and takasugi is so taken aback by it. and again. i want to know what he's thinking. he's shocked, but what else. relieved, maybe? that the gintoki he remembers still exists? that he isn't apathetic at all? fond? i can only speculate, but he seemed kind of fond of gintoki, when he was talking to katsura at the end of the episode, idk idk. angry? definitely. why? i don't know. maybe because he doesn't understand why gintoki lives so idly, when he's clearly not lost his spark or his fangs. maybe because he wishes gintoki was angry in the same way. i literally have NOOOO IDEA, THIS IS ALL SPECULATION.
also gintoki.. mentioning sadaharu... as his beast... mf really deflects and represses his emotions using humor huh. babygirl please go to therapy, or maybe have a parfait.
...
uuuuuuh. anyways. idk if this "essay" if i can even loosely call it that, made any sense towards the end lol. i have many thoughts, but not enough words to communicate them all. but yeah. takasugi shinsuke. what a deranged little guy <3

I'm done screaming my love for captain puffy in discord. So let me tell you why you should stan Captain Puffy :
1. She acknowledge the fact that Tommy and Tubbo are children. She knows that the both of them have done fucked up things before, but she also know and agree that they're trying to fix themselves and atone for their mistakes. (THANK YOU)
2. She knows that Tubbo did what's the best for L'manburg and respect it. Saying that Tubbo done a great sacrifice by being the president.
3. She disowning Dream for being a terrible person and burn his house that she made for him. Only to find out after that she apparently built that house right at the top of his old base after she blew it.
4. She find a new disc inside Dream old base and makes it canon despite it's not lol. She's planning to give it to Tommy so he can decide what he want to do with it. Also she thinks it's a way for him to just recollect the disc.
5. CLINGYDUO APOLOGIST CONFIRMED ✨
6. She pointed out the double standards for Tommy and Techno situation.
7. This woman trying to build a temple to represents all of the dream smp and that's amazing.
8. She's trying to leash a spider and end up having it as a pet. It's name is peter parkour by the way
9. Have i mentioned that she go through nether and travel far only to go find a new name tag because she wanted to rename peter parker into peter parkour? No? Now i have.
10. Oh look she has a slime in a boat named Jream.
11. Puffy spitting facts. She knows what's going on.
12. Aunt puffy for clingy duo?? Nvm how about mama puffy :)
13. I forget to add, "Now he's officially and literally homeless, like everyone in L'manburg is." After she blew up Dream house. She doesn't have the right to be this funny.

: ̗̀➛ Notes: *screams into oblivion* one this is all platonic I didn’t specify 😓 two I barely survived the writers drought (no friken inspiration) but I bring to you my first c!dsmp x reader fic (please be kind I tried-) basically this taks place in really old times and not modern considering how its writter like I just finished reading shakesphere although the idea came while listening to classical music so that it how you will. Also this isn’t edited so my bad if theres mistakes-
Tumblr media
The room was dimly lit with candles and the r oaring fire that burned passionately at the fireplace. White tiles were plastered with gold diamonds, the shade almost as if it was antique jewelry, Old but could tell an amazing story. The colour completing the beige-coloured room
You waited patiently, cross-legged glaring at the clock that ticked every second or so. 10 minutes you thought to yourself while you grind your teeth. That man seemed to be early only when it was for his own convenience, how distasteful.
Just as you finished that thought you saw the dark oak wood door being pushed open. A man walks in, he wears a white loosely fitted blouse, with bishop sleeves which was decorated with frilly fabrics. Along with death-black dress pants that were worn up to the waist. His face where his mask usually is is replaced with glasses and the man's delicate bubblegum pink hair is loosely braided and thrown on the right side of his shoulder.
“Your late” you glare crossing your arms
He let out a sigh “Well pardon me for taking a while to get ready, It's almost like you didn’t come here unannounced” he spoke sarcastically.
He walked over to the glass tray and picked up a small glass cup with a gold ring around it and poured himself a drink. He eyes you “Would you care for a drink y/n?”
“I don’t drink”
He shrugs “Suit yourself”
“Technoblade, I didn't come here for idle chatter.”
He arched his eyebrow slightly “Oh?” Techno placed his cup down “Pray do tell, what exactly did you come here for?” You watched him walk to the other side of the room as he said that.
“I-“ you could even finish before being rudely interrupted by a rustling noise. You watched as your patience grew thinner by the minute he took out a black vinyl disc and placed it on a wooden box making sure the oin was adjusted well. A soft tune of the piano came out of the music player.
“Would you care for a dance?” He holds out his hand, you stare at it contemplating whether you should grab his hands, you really shouldn't, you didn’t want to play his games, you wanted what you came for, but then again it would harm a dance. Or course your brain chose the latter considering how you delicately placed your hand in his letting him place his hand on your waist the the other on your shoulder. He lead the way,(just like he always does)
“Apologies for interrupting music helps me think.” He spoke as he spun you around the floor “They calm the voices” . You knew all about the voices, how much they love to chant and clog his brain with different variations of thoughts, perks of being his ex-partner you suppose. But you watched as he hid a smirk, you guess he’s just telling only half the truth. You roll your eyes
“You can finish”
“Wouldn’t you mean start idiot” you snap
“Meh”
You clicked your tongue in annoyance, his inability to ever grasp the mood of the situation was flawless. It seemed as if he never cared about the other person's feelings, unless you were the god of death you were out of luck for a serious conversation. You’ve dealt with that for decades
You could remember once in a lifetime the two of you were partners, fast and precise that's how the job went. The blood god and the angel of destruction are an amazing duo. You remember when the two of you used to watch as people begged on their knees for their life or perhaps a mercy kill. Watching as your foes tried to retreat to their bases only for their pitiful lives to end in such a disgraceful manner. At the end of the day the two of you stood in the battlefield side by side knowing the world could shake in fear knowing you two were alive
And you loved it like that desire to make people fear you brought giddiness to your body and enlightened your world. You wanted one thing and it was to get revenge.
Revenge on all who did you wrong from your youth up, and now you were strong enough to bring it tenfold.
Everything was fine, It wasn’t until one day the two of you had sat down for a cup of tea like you usually did on Thursday evenings. He told you he wanted to retire, he was done with the killings and the torture.
He was finally putting down the title ‘Blood god’
At first you thought it was a joke but then you saw his eyes and they were as serious as he could ever be, anger rose up in you unable to process the statement.
How could he leave you like this, he promised to be by your side when no one else would.
A liar that's would your made him out to be
A slap to the cheek was all you left him that day
Now here you were decades later, hand in hand dancing to the sounds of the instruments harmonizing becoming one just the way you two were.
He spun you around gracefully on the tiled floor, there's something about dancing in an empty room that makes you feel weird inside. What was this feeling? Him making you feel weak in the knees, perhaps it was the fact the last time you did this it was when you two were young and reckless. He always seemed to know how to brighten your life,even to the point the friendship you two had was envied amongst the other gods.
He twirled you across the room dipping you slightly “Cat caught your tongue”
You rolled your eyes “As if”
You saw outside the glass panes, the sky was painted a blood orange mixed with lavender purples and hints of blue. The sun slowly sets,bringing the nightfall.
You chuckle to yourself, how romantic of the sky to show such a sight for people who would die before dating each other.
You turn your gaze to the god “I need you one last time” you say cutting to the chase
Technoblade glared at you “I already told you I’m retired, don’t be so stubborn”
“I’m not, your being selfish putting your needs before anyone else's”
He snorts “Isn’t that what you're doing y/n? Or am I reading the situation wrong?” He says sarcastically “Plus I thought you made it clear that you wanted nothing to do with me, or was that slap something you did on impulse and you couldn’t face me after?”
You grind your teeth “It was not, and why are you making it seem like you're the victim? You're the one who wanted to leave me!” You snapped
He took his hands away from you and pinched the bridge of his nose “See, this is why we cannot have a conversation. You always jump to conclusions” he growls
“I do not!”
“You do! I never intended to leave your side, only retiring. Is it so bad I wanted to stop killing and do something better with my life, and here I thought you’d be happy with it.”
You stared at him shocked, “I..”
Was he right? You were known to act on impulse which did cause problems in the long run but he’d be there to be by your side every time. But yet, you couldn’t fathom the thought of him leaving his life behind to start a new one. Why? You weren’t sure.
Techno sighed “You act so tough when actually you're broken inside. The thing is you weren’t mad at me for retirement, you were mad that things were changing. You're scared of change because you don’t know where you’ll fall between it all.”
The piano falls into a soft handsomely rhythm
The violinist quietly drag their bows delicately
You cast your eyes aside, you couldn’t argue with the truth. You swallow hard fighting back the tears. You couldn’t fathom the amount of times you’ve been in the wrong or how much you’ve hurt him
Stupid
Stupidstupidstu-
A hand is placed on you head
“You think too much, stop that”
“I’m sorry”
“For overthinking or for being impulsive” he questions
“Both” you whisper keeping your eyes on the floor
“And?”
You huffed “You were right about everything”
He grinned showing his pearly whites “I’m sorry what was that? I couldn’t hear you?”
You laughed slightly making your worries go away for the time being “You asshole, get your head out of the skies as if I’m repeating that again”
He chuckles shrugging “Worth a try”
“So, let's get something straight. I’ll help you one last time then I’m forcing you to retire. Seriously you have no say so.” He eyes you “You probably need therapy too jeez”
“Fuck You I’m perfectly fine”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night” he responds ushering you out the room
“Bold of you to assume I sleep”
“Bruhh”

i hope c!tommy has a moment where he just snaps at people like jack and niki who are going after him now and explaining that he's been punished enough - like he's already been taught to be afraid of them and to bend to their whims, and that he's not allowed to have anything of his own, or to be happy the way he wants, or to heal on his own time. because a lot of the people who are going after tommy now aren't doing it to teach him a lesson, they're doing it because they want to blame someone for the shit they've been through. for jack, yeah, it kind of makes sense, but for niki? absolutely not. for fundy? thin ice. they don't want to teach him a lesson, they want to punish him some more without knowing everything tommy's been through, without caring to know what tommy's been through.
i want tommy to scream at the top of his lungs about the fact that the one consistent thing in his life - the discs, are the two things that he hates the most, but they're the two things that makes sure that dream doesn't target tubbo.
i want him to yell about how he almost killed himself in his exile on multiple occasions.
i want him to shout about having his home, his last tether to the 'good' wilbur he tries to remember so fondly, being destroyed in front of him. i want him to tell them that they're partly at fault for that, too.
i want him to scream about having the front row seat watching wilbur spiral into madness and violence, while techno encourages it.
i want him to yell about how he's sacrificed his own life, and put everything he has on the line for everyone else, while others call him selfish. while others ignore his inherent worth as a human being.
i want him to shout about becoming the worst person he knew, someone who became obsessive to the point that it turned him against his friends.
i want him to yell about being one of about three people who sees that dream's been pulling the strings the entire time, and how he's one of two people with enough fucking balls to actually do something about it.
i want him to shout about being the scapegoat for everyone else's issues, every single time. when l'manberg went to shit, when the community house was blown up, when wilbur blew up l'manberg.
i want him to tell them that all he's ever wanted is to be happy and free, and that while his methods were unconventional before and he's apologised for that, and he's doing better now, people keep trying to tear that away from him.
i want him to tell them that he won't destroy people's property and stoop to their level anymore. that he won't murder people out of misplaced revenge like they want to. that he won't get in their way. that he'll fight for their true freedom. that he wants to be the best person he can be. that he wants to so badly just run away and live with tubbo, millions of miles from any of them out of pure resentment, but he won't, because he's going to be the good guy - his own good guy, not anyone else's definition of the good guy.
for once, i want to see someone who's having their 'villain arc' (which, ranboo, i agree, stupid way to deal with your problems, getting kind of boring at this point) look tommy in the eyes and realise that, while they too may be traumatised, and hurting, they shouldn't have done what they did and lash out (because i don't care how bad your mental health is, you're going to be held accountable for your actions whether you like it or not). they should all look at each other and promise to, from now on, do the objectively right thing.
edit - part of me also wants this to be the point where tubbo hears all of this for the first time. i think it'd validate his character being one of the last people not giving up on his friends, and it being worth it. like tubbo knew that tommy was deeply disturbed but was too afraid to ask - thankful that even if it's in a fit of rage, he's still talking about it. it'd be the point where tubbo regains that proper determination to be tommy's ride or die again, because he knows that by being one of the ones that stuck by tommy and wanted to help him in the first place, he's been doing the right thing all along, and that tommy forgives him.
clingy duo supremacy babey, peace ✌🏻

(Just for time- any name I refer in here is all character unless specified!)
Nah, cause I'm convinced that the vault was 100% a set up and there's so much that is just left unexplained that proves that:
The Elevator
The Polished Blackstone room
The Gold/highly lit stand for the discs
The enderportal
The attachments
The Avenger's Endgame bullshit at the end
Ranboo
(1) - I don't know why, but this was one of the bigger ones to annoy the hell out of me as to why it looked so complicated. Dream- as far as I remember- hasn't had that many creations with such complex machinery/redstone engineering. Even more so to the extent of making an elevator that can function going up and down with a platform big enough to fit multiple people on.
(1) - Not only that, but we never even got to see the inner workings of the redstone itself- it may seem like an unnecessary detail, but as far as I'm aware, not many people are able to make redstone this complex in order to properly function as an elevator (in Minecraft terms). Dream just doesn't seem to fit within that category because- again, as far as I'm aware- the most complicated redstone device he's made has been the doomsday one, and even then, it wasn't even that complicated- nowhere near the level enough to make an entire elevator by himself.
(2) - Maybe it's because of the amount of times I've seen Dream login to the server and how infrequent it had been in the past, but I don't see how Dream could mine up so much Polished Blackstone, especially to use in this specific purpose. Dream doesn't even have many structures to his name, even his own base doesn't even have any materials that could suggest he would need extra Blackstone for. If it had been made out of obsidian, I could believe it considering all that material had been used for walls around L'Manburg. (Plus, it's been confirmed by the CCs that creative mode is barely used as is, so this makes mining this much Blackstone/Polished Backstone make even less sense.)
(2) - I feel like this is strongly indicated with how much Ranboo had been supposedly mining at the time and had a ridiculously low durability on his tool set so often, sure he could be mining for something totally unrelated, but if that were the case- why would he be so "unaware" of why his tools are so low to begin with?
(3) - Now this is where the bullshit meter starts kicking higher. Why would Dream display the real discs so proudly and in such a gaudy manner, especially when it functionally served no purpose? Not even the walls he had around L'Manburg or the obsidian grid were as flashy. Gold floors, bright lights, the portraits of the discs side to side by the very clear escape portal™, hell, they were even positioned to be directly in front of the elevator so that Tommy and Tubbo would first notice them and would try to run for them. AND THERE WERE TWO ENDERCHESTS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PORTALS AND THE DISCS.
(3) - What kind of Saturday cartoon evil villain™ leaves such an obvious flaw, even when taking into account that Dream is supposedly a strategist? What kind of strategic mastermind would leave an interdimentional chest that could potentially have back up gear and various other items to assist his enemies out in the open like that especially next to a portal where they could easily escape? Not even Jack Manifold would make such an oversight like that.
(4) - The placements of the portal and where Dream, Tommy, and Tubbo all stopped off at the end of Dream's grandiose speech were all much to convenient/coincidental. It was like it was choreographed so that when Dream was specifically away for the duo, Punz and whoever else would be able to step in and "separate/rescue" the two from the big bad Dream despite the fact that Dream could've easily killed the two if he really wanted to by being near and crit'ing them out.
(4) - Plus, the portal was already lit. Which leads directly to where they would've been. Again, from a strategic standpoint that makes no god damn sense. Why leave an obvious portal out in the open like this so that your enemies could try and come and find the people you're trying to supposedly kill?
(5) - Oh yeah, but the bullshit alarm is blaring. Albeit with a bit of wavering doubt, I thought that the attachments room was the most solid part of the plan, at least, if we're going with the mindset that Dream's ultimate goal was to take control of attachments, force everyone to be friends/unified again, and achieve his ultimate goal of peace and unity on the server. But as I thought more on it, some of the attachments... Don't make sense for Dream to know.
(5) - How did Dream know about someone having an attachment that was bedrock? How did Dream know about Punz's shulker box? (I know Drista gave it to him and cc!Dream was there for that, but canonically it makes no sense.) Why did Dream specifically think that Enderchest was Ranboo's only primary attachment? How did Dream know about Dogchamp despite Purpled and him never properly meeting in canon?
(5) - Sure Dream could've gone snooping around and managed to find out, but some of these attachments he doesn't even properly know of unless he had to walk up to someone and be like: So hey, what are you emotionally attached to that would make you utterly destroyed when it's gone? :D
(6) - How in the ever loving fuck did everyone manage to get there?
(6) - This one is clear that Punz lead the charge on this one, but why did everyone flat out believe him? Beforehand, everyone was deadset on staying back, regardless if it was on Tommy and Tubbo's word. But Punz? Alone? He managed to convince everyone? Even if they had a neutral opinion on Dream, to go with him to the vault to rescue the two? Nobody questioned how he even knew about where the portal to the vault is, or that it even had a portal? Nobody? Not a single soul? Or how nobody even questioned how Punz knew that Dream had taken the two down there and didn't just send them off into their own exile?
(7) - Ranboo rarely ever metas about the lore. Unlike most CCs in the DSMP, cc!Ranboo has a particular way of making sure that chat doesn't spoil him on plot points going on, so I highly doubt he would "accidentally" recite Dream's speech, word for word, bar for bar in a room he hadn't even been in yet. Nor even was there for (it's heavily hinted that Enderwalk was present during the confrontation instead). Plus, although it was confirmed unintentional by the CCs later on, Ranboo and Dream were both staring at each other, and I don't think it was to keep him in place- considering Enderwalk went to go visit Dream as often as he could before his ban and Enderwalk seemed to be on good terms with Dream even before the whole Doomsday Era.
Nah, the whole confrontation makes no sense, even down to the cherrypicking examples of it all. If it somehow gets confirmed that the confrontation wasn't staged and that Dream was somehow this cocky, I won't make a fuss, but I'm not gonna be entirely too thrilled at the idea.
But contrary to popular belief, I don't think Dream did this with only Punz or Enderwalk, I think those three were the main ones to set up this whole thing, but considering the redstone and the attachments that Dream wasn't supposed to know of. I don't know, but something about that screams like there was one other involved, the question is- who would also help Dream like Punz or Enderwalk too?
This one is an old one, but I absolutely agree. The Disc War finale is, with all due respect, either egregious writing with no character continuity in the slightest, or c!Dream faked the whole thing. It's way too suspicious not to be obvious. That's a banger analysis.

Done Measuring, Ladies?
Tumblr media
Pairing: Roman x Reader
Word Count: 921
Summary: You started dating Joe after his divorce with Galina. After a PPV, Joe comes backstage to see you standing with Galina and Jojo. Galina wants to clarify boundaries.
A/N:  I do not own the picture used! 
Joe smiles as he sees three of his favorite ladies in the world heading his way after his match.
“Daddy!” Jojo screams, running full speed towards her father. “There’s my baby girl!” Joe chuckles, catching her as she jumps into his arms.  He takes a second to set his things down before hauling her up for a bear hug. You and Galina smile at the pair, watching him switch from Roman Reigns, back to Joe.
“How’re you feeling?” you ask him, reaching up to pull Jojo’s shirt down to cover her back, rubbing it lightly before you step back to hear his response. “Like I got hit by a Mack truck,” he answers, turning his face back into Jojo and snuggling with her.
You feel Galina lightly touch your arm, nodding her head down the hallway.  Your eyebrows furrow, but you follow her anyway. You know this is to give the daddy-daughter duo time together, but she also has a reason for pulling you out of his earshot.
“What’s up?” you ask, crossing your arms with a feeling this may not be a friendly conversation. “Listen, Y/N, I understand that I’m the ex-wife in this situation,” she holds up a finger when you start to interrupt.  “I know this may not be comfortable, but I just want to make sure we’re on the same page when it comes to Jojo.” You nod for her to continue, listening to what she has to say before jumping to defend yourself again.  “You will be spending time with her when she’s at Joe’s and I get that; I want you to understand that she is a child and that she doesn’t need to see anything inappropriate from the two of you, and that she is not to be treated like she’s ‘the ex’s kid’.” “Galina, she does not get treated as ‘less than’ when she is with us, I can assure you.  She is Joe’s princess and he will do anything for her at the drop of a hat; that little girl is his world, and she comes before the both of us, as she should.  I always include her in our activities, and make sure they are age-appropriate.  We show affection in front of her, but nothing more than pecks, hugs, and hand-holding.  We do not play grab-ass in front of her, and we never will. She hangs out with the family and she has been welcomed by mine.  We treat her as one of our own; that includes protection, Galina. She is not just my boyfriend’s kid; I treat her as if she is my own,” you hold your finger up to stop her when she opens her mouth, “with the understanding that I am not a replacement for you.  I buy gifts and necessities for her, help her with her homework, read her bedtime stories, have her help with chores, and discipline her when necessary,” you explain.
“You disc--” she starts, immediately defensive. You hold up your hand to interrupt her. “I correct her and help her understand polite and respectful ways to do things and handle unpleasant situations,” you clarify.  “She gets put in time out, electronics get taken away, she has to eat her veggies before she gets a cookie. I am not just the girlfriend , Galina, and I am not here to take advantage of Joe, by any means.  I grew up in this industry; his money and fame mean nothing to me and do not affect how I live my life.  We agreed to keep our money, professions, and properties separate. I will do everything I can to make sure the relationship of the three of us adults goes as smoothly as possible because of Jojo.  Please understand that I feel no ill-will towards you. I didn’t ask what happened between the two of you, and I don’t need to know. Let’s be women about this and raise this little girl to be a strong, intelligent, successful woman; that’s your goal, isn’t it?” you finish, with a raised eyebrow and a hand held out in her direction.
She raises her own eyebrow, looking down at your hand and back to your eyes.  “Do you agree to communicate openly and freely with me as I do with Joe about anything regarding Jojo while she’s with you and tell me about any issues, no matter how big or small, and not to go against either of our wishes regarding how our daughter is to be raised?” she asks. “Absolutely,” you nod in response, “As long as you don’t block me out, you discuss any issues you may have with me with me, and don’t treat me as some side-piece bimbo that’s hanging all over him and mistreating your daughter.  This is not Cinderella .  Agreed?” “Agreed,” Galina says, finally shaking your hand.
You hear Joe’s heavy bootsteps coming up behind you, you release Galina’s hand to turn towards him with a smile.
“Done measuring, ladies?  We’re hungry over here,” he says, putting Jojo down and watching her run down to start her hug-fest with members of the roster while he heads to the locker room to wash up. “You hungry?” Galina asks, turning towards you after watching Hunter pick up Jojo and swing her around. “Not as hungry as she is, I’m sure,” you smile.
The two of you walk down the hallway, exchanging stories of weird things this child has decided to eat, the enormous amount, and where she must put it all.  This might just work out.

So I did a little challenge in the discord server and let the memebers chose what I write and I'll cram them all in one fic... and this is what I had to work with:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And under the cut is what I came up with, I hope you enjoy :3
Foolish didn't really know what to expect when he agreed to come to the Titans' tower, but seeing the group of heroes running around in haste and panic definitely was not it. Panic bubbled in his stomach as he saw their very much troubled expressions.
"What happened?" He asked when he managed to grab hold of Ponk's arm.
Ponk groaned. "Mother fucking Dream took Tommy's discs," he said in an angry voice.
Immediately, the panic dissipated. "What? That's it? I thought it was the end of the world or something." He chuckled.
Ponk shook his head. "You don't understand Foolish, this is bad. Dream doesn't realize how bad this 'prank' is gonna go if he doesn't give it back, now." He said, sounding distressed, eyes darting back and forth as if he was expecting Tommy to come screaming any second now.
"Why?"
The cyborg sighed and grabbed both of Foolish's shoulders, forcing him to look down and make eye contact. "Listen to me, Foolish. That child is a menace. If he ever finds out that his most prized possessions were taken from him, he will make it everyone's problem when he's upset. Do you understand?" He explained vaguely.
"Um... no, not really?"
"He'll grief all of our things Foolish!" Ponk exclaimed impatiently.
Foolish furrowed his eyebrows. "O...kay, I would admit that is a problem. But um, why did you call me here, exactly?"
Ponk let go of him with another sigh and a cheeky laugh. "Well, since the rest of the HIVE went and visited George's home town. We thought you could distract Tommy while we go and get the discs? Please?" He said, making big puppy eyes at Foolish.
Foolish wrinkled his nose, he didn't really like the implication of that. Did the Titans really want him to babysit Tommy? Really? "Uh, why don't you just ask Phil? Or Techno? They're basically his guardians right?" He asked.
"We thought of that already. But Tommy might suspect something if those two suddenly act like-"
Ponk was cut off by a loud crash, followed by the sound of falling glass, and then screaming. The duo turned to see Ranboo panting on the ground, surrounded by shards of glass.
Sam came running to the living room, five floating transparent screens tailing him like puppies. His eyes went wide at the sight of the teenager.
"Oh my god, Ranboo are you-"
"Phil and Techno are farm animals!" Ranboo exclaimed. Jumping up and brushing off the glass from his suit as if he didn't just land face-first in a pile of sharp glass.
"They're... what?"
Ranboo waved his hands in the air wildly. "I-I don't know! One minute there was this random dude barging in the Technocave, then another minute Techno and Phil are farm animals! I tried to catch the dude, but for some reason I couldn't find him and I don't know how to revert them to normal so I thought I should go get you guys because Bad is a demon with magic and-"
Sam placed a hand over Ranboo's shoulder, making the teen stop his nervous rambling. "Now, let's calm down for a bit, okay?" He said gently.
Ponk snorted. "Rich coming from the guy who-" He snapped his mouth shut at Sam's glare.
"Why don't we sit down so you can tell us the full story, alright?" Sam suggested. Ranboo nodded and let the elder lead him towards the couch.
Sam called the other Titans to the living room and let Ranboo tell his story. So... apparently Phil and Techno are now respectively a crow and a pig. Niki was left in the base to make sure they didn't get lost. It took a lot in Foolish not to burst out laughing at the irony. Ponk wasn't as subtle with his amusement, earning a smack on the head by Puffy.
When the teen was finished relaying what happened, Sam rubbed his face with a groan. "Great, another problem after another. But it doesn't matter, we can just-"
He was cut of by the loud ringing of his communicator. Sam pursed his lips and answered the call. Tubbo's face was projected from his wristband, looking worried. "Sam help!" He cried.
Sam's eyebrows furrowed, his back straightening in instinct. "What's wrong Tubbo?" He asked as the others leaned in, as if that would somehow let them hear and see more than what Sam can.
"It's Fundy! He's gone missing and-"
5up's face replaced Tubbo's, his eyes fueled with anger and worry. "A lot of plasma ghost shit were left in his table. Now, I'd go after Wilbur myself, but there was also a letter saying he'd kill me if I go alone-"
Tubbo's face came up again. "So I said I won't let him go alone, so he promised he'd take one of you guys!" He explained in a flurry of words.
Foolish looked around. Everyone looked grim. And he couldn't blame them since the Tommy situation got even worse.
Sam broke the silence with a sigh. "Okay, Tubbo I want you to come here asap. We have a code red Tommy situation. 5up, Antfrost will be on his way there right now. Do you understand?" He said in his authoritative serious voice, which he rarely uses.
Tubbo's eyes widened at the mention of code red and nodded sagely before ending call. Sam looked at the others as he put his goggles back on.
"Alright, Foolish, Tubbo and Ranboo will be helping you keep Tommy in check. Do not let him know about the discs, the farm animal situation, or god forbid the Wilbur situation. We know how he gets with his loved ones. Ant, go and help 5up with rescuing Fundy. Ponk and I will be going after Dream and retrieving the discs. Puffy and Bad will be going to the Syndicate headquarters to try and reverse the situation. Does everyone understand?" Sam asked.
Eveyone nodded and got up from their spots on the living room. They all greeted Tubbo as he arrived and Foolish filled the kids in as the Titans prepared all of their gear.
Sam was just about to approach the elevator when it opened and revealed three teenagers inside. Drista was on her phone while Tommy and Purpled wrestled behind her. When she heard the ding of the elevator, she looked up and scanned the room, then narrowed her eyes at Ranboo.
"You asshole, you left me in the base!" She accused. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to wrangle these two idiots?!" She said, jabbing a finger behind her.
Ranboo raised his hands in surrender. "I was in a hurry!" He defended himself.
"You could have carried me!" She retaliated. "Phil is my-"
Ranboo shot a web at her mouth, then immediately covered his own with his hands. "Oh my god I'm so sorry-"
Tubbo burst out laughing, so did Tommy and Purpled who stopped their little quarrel just to tease her. Drista ripped the web out of her mouth and pounced at Ranboo, who didn't bother dodging. They rolled all over the floor as Tubbo egged them on. Tommy and Purpled exited the elevator, the former immediately joining Tubbo in the sidelines.
Purpled looked at Ponk and the others. "You guys on a mission?" He asked, which caught Tommy's attention.
"You guys are on a mission?!" Tommy asked eagerly.
Sweat formed on Sam's forehead as his eyes looked everywhere, then stopped at the broken window. He grabbed Badboyhalo by the collar and pulled him into a kiss. Then all hell broke loose. Not like it wasn't already loose.
Ponk screeched in indignation and Sam jumped out of the window as he dodged Ponk's tackle. They both fell while screaming at each other. BBH jumped into a portal with a deep blush, Ant and Puffy jumping after him with wide teasing grins.
All the teens turned to look at Foolish in eerie synchronization. He forced out a grin. "Well, looks like it's just me and you guys. So, uh, what should we do?" He asked awkwardly.
Ranboo face palmed as Drista finally let him go of her choke-hold. "How about we fix the window?" He suggested, sitting up from from his place on the floor.
Foolish shrugged and nodded. "I don't see why not,"
"Wait- but I wanna know what the Titans are up to," Tommy complained with a pout. He didn't even wait for a response as he walked towards the window and positioned himself to jump.
Foolish grabbed Tommy's arm before he could do so. The teen turned to glare at him. "I- uh- just think it's wise to go after them?" He reasoned weakly.
Now making both Drista and Ranboo face-palm.
Tommy struggled, trying to pry off Foolish's hand to no avail. "What the fuck Foolish? Just let me go man, I wanna help them-"
"I'm pregnant!"
All the occupants of the tower turned to look at Tubbo. Mouths agape. "What?"
Tubbo pressed both of his index fingers together and looked at the ground, face flushed. "I-I'm pregnant?" He repeated quietly.
And just like that, Tommy burst out laughing, forgetting the whole 'helping the Titans' matter all together. Foolish let out a relieved sigh, so did Tubbo and Ranboo. Then everyone couldn't help but laugh along.
They ended up binge watching movies and playing monopoly (which Foolish had to put a stop to after Tommy got all... capitalist on everyone). The Titans were barely even mentioned. Save for the occasional worried looks Tubbo and Ranboo gives him.
Little by little, the Titans filtered back into the tower. All looking very tired, so Foolish and the kids let them be without asking many questions. Their little unplanned movie and game night turned into a sleep over after Tubbo fell asleep on Foolish.
...
Come next morning, he was woken up by the loud arguing of Tommy and Purpled.
"-why not?!"
"Because you're banned from space! I'm not letting you drag mr into your mess!"
"But-"
"I'm not letting you borrow my space ship Tommy!"
Foolish groaned as he stretched awake. He made a beeline towards the kitchen, ignoring the two teens in the living room. Puffy greeted him with a gentle dmile and a cup of coffee. He took it gratefully and took a careful sip.
"You handled them well," his adoptive mother chuckled.
Foolish rolled his eyes lightly. "I swear, if I ever get roped into babysitting all five of them again, I will loose my mind."
Puffy shrugged. "Haven't you already?" She teased.
Foolish laughed, taking another sip. "Fair enough,"
"Tommy!" Purpled suddenly exclaimed with panic.
Immediately, Puffy and Foolish ran to the living room (they're both in high alert after all the shit yesterday) to find it half-burnt and covered with plasma everywhere. Purpled was standing alone in the middle of the room, no sign of Tommy anywhere.
"What happened?"

We’ve seen 2b2t Tubbo. We’ve seen 2b2t Tommy.
Now what about 2b2t Tubbo and Tommy. They both spent the first fifteen years of their lives on 2b2t before the duo managed to escape to SMP Earth together and the sleep bois family pseudo adopted them seeing just how scrappy but loveable the duo was. Obviously this au would canonize SMP Earth because we’re long past the point of anyone being able to stop me, but I think that’s really cool since we could have the Clingy Duo both having founded Business Bay. Speaking of which maybe the rest of Business Bay and possibly Boffy also survived 2b2t. Maybe that’s how they all lived, a group of orphans who together managed to be strong. Of course, that’s preference.
Permadeath would still be a thing but the number of “lives” you get could vary from server to server and you’d get a significantly different Tubbo and Tommy. Like, I doubt they’d tell anyone where they came from (even the sleepy bois) so Phil and Techno’s whole anarchist gig has a bit more wiggle room before they (cough, Tommy, cough) inevitably blow the ever loving fuck up screaming and hissing about the wrongs of anarchy in a logical sense. Wilbur might even be alive in this AU since despite only having Tubbo and Tommy for a year he’d die for them (I need good big brother Wilbur let me have this). Out of all the sleepy bois I feel like he’d be the one they would tell their past to and by extension he might be more focused on trying to protect them than the whole L'manburg go boom thing. Maybe if he starts dipping too far during the Pogtopia arc one word from Tubbo or Tommy asking if Wilbur wants him to make Tommy’s cobble towers into lava casts while they’re getting all that tnt would be enough to snap him into reality. (It also partially explains Tommy’s obscene fixation on cobble stone and lava.)
The Clingy Duo would be even closer in this AU so maybe half of the things they do (like the exile and the whole disc argument) is purely acting to try and throw Dream off their tail while they slowly rally other members of the server. I could also see them maybe pulling aside certain members of the server (like Niki and Jack because I don’t like the murder sub plot, not to mention a Jack who remembers SMP Earth might be a little more used to a chaotic b*stard Tommy) and explaining the whole situation. Dream would have final boss energy and maybe it might not even be Dream. Maybe the “Dreamon” in this case is just a hacker so they’re trying to get back the original Dream and that’s why the boys are kinda lowkey instead of… murder.
There’s plenty of room for both Tubbo and Tommy to be super possessive of one another and room for Tubbo to go completely apeshit without have to sacrifice Tommy’s final canon life to the gods of revenge and wrath. Honestly, I just want super bad ass Clingy Duo where they whole heartedly trust each other while curb stomping Dream. 
~Snapdragon & Firefly
------------------
Oh this is such a good take. I love this so much. Just the Clingy Duo both being from 2b2t and being badass here. Then we got them trusting each other whole heartedly and I love it. I love this so much.

I'm in a nightmare but I didn't fall asleep
TW: noncon, vague description of said noncon, kidnapping, non-consensual oral sex
17+ to interact
“That’s TWO out of three sports festivals you lost, Shouto. I’m beyond disappointed in you.” Endeavor’s booming voice leaves nothing to the imagination as it echoes across the barren stadium halls.
Well, almost barren.
Sero cringes from his hiding place behind the nearest wall, making eye contact with Bakugo next to him whose brows are furrowed in concentration.
“You know what, I’m fucking done. You’re going to give me one thing, and it’s going to be the future number one hero. A hero who will beat All Might, something you will NEVER do. My faith in you has been destroyed. I’ll tell them to retrieve you on Friday.”
Shouto makes a choked noise, and the two boys look at each other in confusion.
“Father please, you don’t mean-”
“I absolutely do. I gave you three chances Shouto! You’ve wasted my time and money, and now you’re going to be used like the useless bitch you are. Only serving me one purpose.”
“Please I can do better! Please don’t take me I promise I’ll make it worth your resources- AGH!” There’s a strangled shout as Endeavor grabs his daughter’s long ponytail in his flaming fist, charring the white hair
“You will do no such thing, and don’t even try escaping, I’ll hire more men if I have to. You will be useful.” There’s a scraping sound as Shouto drags her feet as she’s pulled away.
A shrill scream lets out, quickly cut off as Endeavor’s scorching palm slams over his daughter’s mouth with a sharp shut up.
Sero turns to Bakugo, gulping, as he raises a pointed thumb towards the exiting duo, “Uh, that didn’t sound good.”
Bakugo purses his lips, “No, it did not.”
-
Endeavor shoves Shouto into the van head first and she tumbles in, careful to mind the several men surrounding her as she skids to a stop.
“I don’t care how you go about this, you’re all suitable donors. Get her pregnant in a timely manner. Do what you want with her when the baby is born.”
Shouto whimpers as the door is slammed shut, locking her in complete darkness with a group of unfamiliar voices as they discuss who gets to fuck her first.
Her right ankle is grabbed as the van begins to move, the first man growls as she tries to pull away, and his grip tightens.
She screams, hoping someone will hear her. Her mouth burns from her father’s hand.
“NO!!! LET GO! I DON’T WANT IT!” The sound of zippers undoing around her head is what finally sets her off.
Her flame erupts, burning half of her competition shirt, save for her specially made sports bra, and singes the second-place medal strap around her neck. The disc clanks on the metal floor and the men around her shout with frustration.
“He said we could do what we want-” One of them grunts, patting some embers off of his shirt, “Someone subdue the bitch.”
Her head is slammed down onto the metal floor, and she fades away.
-
“Did-” Sero’s voice cracks, and he doesn’t continue.
“Yup.” Bakugo nods, explosions popping behind him as they sprint towards the speeding van, “He just facilitated the rape of a fucking minor.”
“A MINOR!?” Sero screeches, fumbling his tape as it catches on a tree branch, launching him forward “That’s not just a fucking minor, Katsuki, that’s our fucking FRIEND.”
“SHUT UP!!” Bakugo yells right back, “I’m sort of busy trying to save her ass. Obviously, since that van isn’t a puddle she can’t get out on her own. Probably quirk proof or some shit, knowing the asshole.”
“I’m calling Aizawa.” Sero reaches one hand back to his pocket to get his phone.
Bakugo grunts something that sounds like an affirmation.
A few moments later Aizawa’s gruff voice is asking who the hell is calling him at this hour.
“Aizawa-sensei!!”
“What, Sero.”
“So um, Todoroki! She, um, her dad!!-”
Bakugo growls and snatches the phone, blasting himself with just his left arm. Sero would be impressed if he wasn’t screaming internally as the van takes a sharp left, causing them to slow.
“IcyHot has been kidnapped by her dad.”
“Bakugo, I’m pretty sure that’s called having a child legally, give Sero his pho-”
“No you don’t fucking understand!!” Bakugo shouts, “We watched him drag her away and shove her in a fucking van with a bunch of assholes. He told them to rape her Aizawa. She’s been fucking kidnapped.”
“I- you’re joking.” Aizawa’s slight increase in background noise indicates he’s finally taking action, but the goddamn attitude sets Bakugo the fuck off.
“WHY WOULD I JOKE ABOUT THIS YOU OLD BASTARD!!”
“No, you’re right, sorry. I’m getting Nedzu and sending Midoriya your way.”
“NOT FUCKING DEKU”
“Bakugo Katsuki you will shut up and help your classmate with whoever I send to you or you will be expelled.”
“FUCKIN’- whatever old man. We’re just passing the corner store.”
He shuts the phone off before throwing it carelessly at Sero.
“Bakugo!!” Sero whines as he misses the catch and watches his phone shatter on the pavement.
“Not my fault you can’t catch.” Bakugo retorts, speeding up and launching himself at the van.
Sero follows close behind.
They hear a rhythmic thumping from the inside, Bakugo pales.
“Fuck I think they’re-”
“All the more reason we should blow this fucking van open!” Sero shouts into the wind, shooting tape onto the door handle and yanking the entire thing off.
He pulls the nearest guy out by his leg and throws him onto the median.
“C’mon dipshits!! Quit-”
All fight drains out of him, instead replaced with blinding fury, when he sees Shouto.
Practice uniform already torn to shreds, she’s bleeding profusely from somewhere on her head right onto the cold metal floor of the moving van. Surrounded by several other grown-ass men, all staring at Bakugo like deer in headlights, she’s knocked out cold at their feet.
“You bASTARDS!!” He screeches, storming into the van and grabbing Shouto’s limp body into his arms, thankfully her pants seem to be relatively unharmed, it’s the glistening by her slack mouth that has Katsuki concerned.
The men seem to be too shocked to retaliate, but one of them stands, seeming to prepare some sort of excuse. Sero is faster.
Hanta whips through the vehicle, grabbing both Katsuki and Shouto with his tape, flipping the van onto its side in the process, and carrying all three of them out the other door.
The human scum scatter onto the pavement as the students roll, relatively unharmed, into a parking lot. It’s somewhere in those few seconds when Aizawa arrives, followed by a somewhat feral Midoriya.
“Where’s Shouto,” He picks one of the men up by their collar, throwing him violently back onto the asphalt when he sees his three friends laying in a heap a couple dozen yards away.
“SHOUTO!” He calls, practically teleporting to their location and digging through Katsuki and Sero to reach her.
“Jeez we’re fine too, Deku, thanks for wondering.”
Izuku rolls his eyes, pulling Shouto’s limp body into his arms, “Is she- what happened?”
Sero starts nervously explaining, wringing his hands as he looks back and forth between Shouto’s unconscious form and Izuku’s increasingly rage-filled eyes.
He WHAT?!” Green lightning crackles over his skin, stopped abruptly with a firm hand from Aizawa on his shoulder.
Aizawa walks over and crouches, pulling a swab out of his scarf, “Had Momo make me one,” He grunts at Sero’s confused expression.
He sighs, reaching over to Shouto’s face and swiping it around her lips, “Unfortunately I figured we’d need it.” He tucks it into a plastic bag and stuffs both into his suit pocket.
Katsuki huffs, an unreadable expression fixed on his face as he stares down at the girl.
“They got her pretty good,” He reaches a hand out and tucks a strand of hair over, so Aizawa can get a look at her head injury, “probably tried to put up a fight.”
The teacher nods, “and you heard her father approve this- kidnapping?”
“Yes sir,” Sero speaks up, and Midoriya growls.
“I fuckin’ knew he was bad news,” Katsuki scoffs, “always draggin’ her around and shit. Probably paid for them to fuck her up too. Said he wanted her knocked up.”
“He,” Sero’s voice is strained, “he said she was a disappointment that he was giving up on her. She knows that’s not true- right?”
Aizawa hums, pulling out a bandage to wrap Shouto’s head, “well you’ll just have to show her.”
The boys make eye contact, and Izuku pulls her closer.
“Yeah,” Katsuki agrees, “we will.”
-
Shouto wakes up screaming, clawing at her face as blood begins to seep down her cheeks.
“Todoroki wait!!! Todoroki you’re okay! They’re gone!
Hands pry her bloodied nails away and her energy is sucked away as a kiss is pressed to her cheek.
“You kids I swear, never a dull moment.” Recovery girl tuts.
She passes out again.
-
The next time is much calmer, warm light pools around her eyelids and she cracks them open, reaching a hand up to rub the sleep out of them. But in doing so she jostles the hand that had been resting on her own.
“Todoroki?” Sero whispers, raising his head up slowly, eyes widening, “Todoroki!!”
He lunges forward, encasing Shouto in a bear hug.
“Oi, hands off, she’s in a hospital bed for fuck’s sake tape face.”
“Right,” Sero smiles sheepishly, pulling back, “right sorry.
“It’s okay,” Shouto admits, because she really has no idea why there’s any need to be careful, “I’m fine.”
“Oh?” Katsuki’s raised eyebrows suggest she said something wrong, “You call a nasty concussion and almost clawing your own eyes out fucking fine? Guess we have different definitions of the word.”
Shouto frowns, “I don’t remember that last bit.”
Her head hurts slightly, but she feels like she would remember something like that even through a concussion.
She tracks her memory back to before, but she can’t quite seem to remember-
The van, the men, the smell, the sound as he shoved his-
“Shouto?”
She snaps her head up, “Huh?”
“Sorry, you were quiet for a bit,” Midoriya rests a hand on her blanketed leg and rubs it back and forth, “god nervous. You alright?”
They’re all staring at her now.
“Does he know I’m here?”
All three sets of eyes darken, but it’s Midoriya who speaks up.
“He doesn’t matter. Aizawa has custody of you as of now. Your pitiful excuse for a sperm donor has been taken into police custody for aiding in the rape and kidnapping of a minor.”
Shouto gets a distant look in her eye, “Oh” is all she says.
“They didn’t get that far,” Sero gestures to her bandaged torso, where one of the men had tried to take off her uniform pants.
“But they still-” She begins, suddenly nauseous.
“Yeah, they did. And that bastard has been taken into custody just like the rest of em’, he’s not getting out for awhile, especially since the DNA samples matched.” Bakugo informs her.
“Oh,” Shouto hums absently, “there were samples.”
“Shouto, you with us?” Midroriya squeezes her ankle gently, but she doesn’t respond, “Everything’s gonna be alright now. You can rest.”
And she does.

reminiscence. (? x reader) pt3
hello and thank u so much for all of ur kind words on the last two chapters!! i hope you guys enjoy this one :) 
pt1
pt2
pt4
“Speak for yourself, Bolin,” grumbled Hasook, the only waterbender they could find to join their team. “You being distracted practically cost us the game.”
“It was only a few seconds,” Mako snapped, readily coming to his brother’s defense.
“That’s all it takes to lose.” Hasook walked angrily out of the locker room. When he was gone, (Y/N’s) bright eyes peered around the door frame.
“I hope I’m not interrupting,”
A smile curled onto (Y/N’s) lips. 
“Nice to meet you, Bolin,” She said, and Bolin felt his heart skip a beat. He liked the way her voice said his name. 
“If you don’t mind me asking, what were you doing walking by yourself at night?” 
“I had just gotten off of work,” (Y/N) said with a sigh. “I got stuck with the late shift, so no one could leave until everything was absolutely spotless. And like, right as we were almost done for the night, someone spills a bottle of oil all over the floor! Waterbenders can’t pick that up!” She frowned. “Sorry, I’m just ranting to you at this point.” 
“Rant away!” Bolin said, his face excited. “Where do you work?” 
“I’m a waitress at Kwong’s Cuisine.” 
“Woah,” Bolin gapsed. “No wonder you were so bummed out about losing your food! That place is amazing. I mean, I imagine it’s amazing. The only thing I’ve had from there were leftovers from the garbage.” When (Y/N) furrowed her brows, Bolin started panicking. “I don’t eat from the garbage all the time! My brother and I used to when we were living on the streets.” 
“Oh,” (Y/N) said, her expression turning sad. She reached forward and placed her hand atop Bolin’s. “I’m so sorry. That must’ve been so awful.” 
“It wasn’t too bad!” Bolin, cheerful as ever, gave her a smile. “I had Mako, which was nice, but sometimes we could find really great things in the garbage. Once, I found a whole pie, just sitting on top of trash cans! Didn’t look dirty or anything! It was delicious. Sometimes I still think about trash pie.” 
(Y/N) laughed and Bolin reveled in the sound. “What about you?” She asked. “Why were you on the streets?” 
“Mako and I got into a little argument about money again. It’s fine though, because we’re gonna make our own pro-bending team and rake in all the cash!” An idea popped into his head and he leaned forward excitedly, their faces just inches apart. “Say, you wouldn’t happen to be a waterbender, would you?” 
“Unfortunately, no,” (Y/N) said and Bolin deflated back into his seat. “I don’t bend anything. My family’s full of benders but me? I am bendless.” 
“Hey, that’s okay!” Bolin assured her. “I know really great people who aren’t benders!” 
“I’m not very sad about it,” She said, playing with the straw that was in her drink. “But I do get just a teensy bit jealous. Like, when I’m watching probending and the teams do all these cool moves!” 
“You wanna talk about cool moves? You should see Mako and I! He’s a firebender, I’m an earthbender. We’re like a dynamic duo. Our first match is in two weeks from today, if you wanted to come!” 
“You have a match but you don’t have a waterbender?” Bolin waved his hand in the air dismissively. 
“We’ll find someone, I’m sure! Say you’ll be there?” He asked, his green eyes bright and hopeful. 
“I’ll try my best!” (Y/N) said, and Bolin could tell she really meant it. “It’s just, you know, work.” 
At that moment, their soup dumplings arrived. This both excited and disappointed Bolin. Excited because he was starving and disappointed because he knew once they were finished eating, he and (Y/N) would go their separate ways. 
After stuffing themselves full of soup dumplings, Bolin and (Y/N) practically waddled out of the restaurant. The streets of Republic City were nearly bare. “How about I walk you home?” Bolin offered. (Y/N) nodded, a blush gracing her cheeks. 
They walked side by side and talked about anything and everything. He found out that her mom owned Kwong’s Cuisine and expected (Y/N) to take it over once she was old enough, but (Y/N) wasn’t sure if she wanted to do that yet. She loved animals and preferred to be cold rather than hot, because when she’s cold she can just bundle up. Despite working for her mom, she lived on her own, since her mom didn’t have that much time to be around anyway. 
Bolin told her about how his parents died and what it was like living on the streets for so many years. He told her of the gangs that they had done work for and she looked at him with complete understanding and a lack of judgement. He told her about his best friend, Pabu, and how much he wished he had brought Pabu with him because he knew he would’ve made her so happy. 
By the time they had reached her doorstep, Bolin was feeling very sad. The odds of him ever seeing this girl again were slim to none and that was the last thing that he wanted. 
“Do you have a piece of paper and a pen?” He asked suddenly. (Y/N) nodded, stepping inside for a moment before returning with his supplies. He tore off a small piece of paper and balanced it on his knee, scratching his address onto the lines. “This is where you can find me.” She took it gingerly from his hands and looked at it. When she looked back up at him, she smiled. 
“Thank you,” She said, her voice soft. “I’ll definitely track you down. I have to repay you for the soup dumplings.” Bolin grinned. 
“I’ll be looking forward to it.” He walked down her front steps and nearly tripped. He turned around again to see her laughing at him. He smiled once more and gave her a small salute before walking off into the night. 
Bolin didn’t see (Y/N) at his next pro-bending match, or at the three matches after it. Each time he would look up into the crowd, past the bright lights and thousands of fans and search for the face that had been in his dreams for weeks now. Every night, he was disappointed. He’d put on his helmet and step onto the platform, ready to take his frustrations out on the opposing team. 
He had told Mako about the girl he had eaten soup dumplings with. Mako hadn’t really taken him seriously; Bolin always got distracted by girls for a few days and then found himself enamored by another one soon enough. But this one seemed to be sticking. Mako sort of hoped she’d turn up just so Bolin would stop talking about her. 
And then one night, she did. Bolin’s eyes scanned the crowd, just as they always did, and surprisingly they came to rest on (Y/N’s) face. She sat higher up, in the cheaper seats, but her presence was undeniable. Her smile seemed to beam down on him as she turned to her friend and pointed at the platform. 
“She’s here!” He turned to Mako, jumping on his feet. “She really came!” 
“Finally,” Mako grumbled, and the match started. Bolin didn’t seem to notice, his eyes trained on (Y/N) for the first few seconds of the game. This gave the opposing team the opening to hit him with earthbending discs, knocking him back into the second zone. 
Bolin groaned and jumped to his feet. Mako turned to him as he firebended, his golden eyes furious. “Either you get your act together or I’ll knock you off the platform myself!” 
Bolin nodded, holding his fists toward his face as he shot discs at the opposing team. He dodged their attempts at knocking him off his feet. If this was (Y/N’s) first match seeing him, then she’d see him at his best. 
The Fire Ferrets didn’t win the match, but they played a good game. The team was freshly made and it would take them a while to get in tune with each other. Bolin remained optimistic that they’d win the next one, and he expressed this to his team as they went back to their locker rooms. 
“Speak for yourself, Bolin,” grumbled Hasook, the only waterbender they could find to join their team. “You being distracted practically cost us the game.” 
“It was only a few seconds,” Mako snapped, readily coming to his brother’s defense. 
“That’s all it takes to lose.” Hasook walked angrily out of the locker room. When he was gone, (Y/N’s) bright eyes peered around the door frame. 
“I hope I’m not interrupting,” She said, and Bolin couldn’t stop the grin that rose to his face when he heard her voice. “I told someone that I knew Bolin and then they told me to come here?” 
“They’re used to Bolin’s routine of bringing back screaming fangirls,” Mako said, and Bolin gave him a harsh shove. 
“Former routine,” He grumbled, before walking over to (Y/N). He wasn’t sure if he should hug her or hold her hands or kiss her. The last option would probably be too much for the moment. “I’m so happy to see you.” 
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner,” She said, an apologetic smile gracing her features. “I got scheduled for every night a pro-bending match was on. I had to ask someone to cover for me just to come here.” 
“Oh no! I’m sorry you had to take off work.” (Y/N) shrugged. 
“It was definitely worth it. You guys played an amazing game.” (Y/N) stepped further into the room, directing her attention toward Mako. “I’m (Y/N), by the way. Bolin kinda saved my butt a few weeks back.” 
“I’m Mako,” He said. “And I know. He hasn’t stopped talking about it since then.” Bolin’s face flushed a bright pink, but (Y/N) just laughed. 
“Can I treat you both to soup dumplings? I have to pay Bolin back for mine anyway.” 
“Dumplings sound fantastic!” Bolin grinned. “Right Mako?” 
“I won’t say no to free food.” 
---
(Y/N’s) stomach rumbled loudly. 
She sat atop Naga, her arms wrapped around Korra’s middle. The polar bear dog trotted through Republic City as Korra took her to one of her favorite spots: a little meat stand on the side of the street. “This place is amazing,” Korra called back to her. “I find the stands to be way better than actual restaurants.”
(Y/N) wasn’t quite sure if she could relate, but she was willing to try. They pulled Naga up to the stand to order their food. “You again,” The woman running the stand grumbled. “You actually have money this time?” 
“Yes,” Korra said, sticking her tongue out at the woman. “We’ll have two of everything.”
“Two of everything?” (Y/N) echoed in disbelief. “Korra, I-” 
“Relax,” She said as the woman put together their orders. “You and I will share and the rest is for Naga. She needs to eat lunch, too.” Korra rubbed Naga in between her ears. 
Once they had been given their food, Korra took (Y/N) to the park, where they ate on the riverbank. It was less cold than it was yesterday but (Y/N’s) Air Acolyte clothes helped keep her warm. She received many weird looks as people walked past them. 
“Do I have something on my face?” She asked. “Why does everyone keep looking at me?” 
“Oh,” Korra said, her mouth full of kabob. “Air Acolytes don’t usually leave Air Temple Island. And they don’t eat meat.” (Y/N) gulped. 
“I feel like I’m being blasphemous,” And while she wasn’t really joking, she made Korra laugh anyway. “Thanks for getting all of this food, by the way. I’ll find some way to pay you back in the future.” 
“Don’t worry about it,” Korra said with a shrug. “Focus on getting your memories back.” 
“I wish it were that easy. Like, if I could just shut my eyes really hard and boom! My memories would return.” She looked at Korra, her eyes dazzling with an idea. “I know Kya said you can’t tell me anything shocking, but what if...what if you told me some of the small stuff? Like when my birthday was?” 
“I don’t really know things like that,” Korra admitted as she reached for a piece of food and tossed it to Naga. “I really just know about the stuff Mako has told me.” 
“Right, Mako,” (Y/N) mumbled. “My biggest fan.” 
“He’s just protective over Bolin, that’s all.” 
“Everyone keeps talking about Bolin when it comes to me. That’s the guy that was there the other night, right? Who is he?” Korra bit her bottom lip. She knew she had said too much. “Korra, please?” 
“Bolin was...your boyfriend.” 
“Was my boyfriend,” (Y/N) repeated. “As in past tense?” 
“Past tense is a pretty big part of it.” (Y/N) nodded. 
“Okay. I won’t ask you any more about it, I promise. Thank you for telling me.” But when she looked back down at her food, Korra could tell that she wasn’t thankful. The only thing her explanation had offered was more confusion, and she felt incredibly guilty. Guilty over going against Kya and Tenzin’s wishes and telling (Y/N) about Bolin, and guilty over not being able to give (Y/N) the truth. She was completely lost in the world: she deserved answers. 
“Maybe...maybe if we don’t tell you anything, but show you instead, we can get your memories back.” 
(Y/N) raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?” 
“What if we took you to places that had a big impact on your life and just see how you react to being there?” (Y/N) nodded excitedly. 
“I’ll try anything.” 
“Alright. But first we have to get Mako and Bolin on board.”

I wanted to make a short drabble for a AU i've been playing around with, that 'short drabble' somehow ended up being 2815 words long.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: (just to be safe)
- mentions of death
- swearing
- mentions of abuse
- mild panic attack
- loss of senses (they return don't worry)
- overstimulation (is that the correct word?)
Also quickly wanna say sorry if something is worded weird or if something is misspelled, english isn't my native language
Tubbo shivers slightly as the cool air whips against the huddled group of five. He hadn't dressed for the cold, he'd dressed for bed, sadly his plans for going to sleep were thwarted by Fundy breaking into his house, screaming about how Dream was building obsidian walls around L'manburg. That's how they got where they are now, Tommy, Ranboo, Quackity, Fundy and of course Tubbo himself standing next to a large obsidian wall, Dream sitting above them with his legs carelessly dangling over the edge.
"Dream you prick, what is this about?!" Tommy is the first to speak, his loud voice being heard over the howling wind. A small smile creeps up on Tubbo's face, no wonder Wilbur chose Tommy as the third president, Tommy had a way of catching people's attention and holding it. Even the masked tyrant couldn't help but pay attention to the blond president, or maybe he is, Tubbo isn't sure, Dream's mask is angled towards them, but who knows where his eyes are looking? Or maybe his eyes are closed?
"He's not going to come down, is he?" Fundy groaned, eyeing the stairs that  would let them climb on top of the obsidian like it had just insulted his entire bloodline, maybe it had, Tubbo wouldn't be suprised if Fundy could talk to stairs. Nothing could suprise Tubbo anymore, not after his older brother died and came back as a ghost.
Tommy lets out a sigh that is best discribed as a mix between resignation and anger before climbing up the steps, Tubbo quickly following after him, and from the noise behind him he can tell Quackity and Fundy are following as well. He turns to look back at Ranboo, Tommy had asked the enderman hybrid to wait near the meeting, and not involve himself, which was reasonable, Ranboo was new, he shouldn't have to dive head-first into petty political arguments. The half black-half white tall male gives him a reassuring smile, and Tubbo can't help but smile back, sure, Ranboo was new, but he'd already made a impression on Tommy and Tubbo, and both were looking for a way to invite Ranboo into this group, a way to make their duo a trio.
Once on the walls Tubbo freezes for a second. Dream isn't alone, Sapnap, George and Punz are with him. "You!" Sapnap spits, and speedwalks forewards, Tubbo would have laughted at how silly the bandana wearing male looked if Sapnap wasn't speedwalking towards him. Sapnap is fuming, he doesn't need to look at the other male's face to realize that, the guy's balled up hands shaking with what could only be discribed as rage tells him the whole story. If that wasn't enough Sapnap grabs the front of his pajama shirt and pulls him close, forcing him to make eye contact, the blaze hybrid's eyes almost look like they're on fire.
"Hey!" Fundy's bark snaps Sapnap out of the one-sided staring contest he was having with Tubbo "Can you at least let Quackity and me on before you go around trying to fight us?!" Sapnap glares at him, and Tubbo mentally scolds the small part of his brain that's still stuck in the past, the small voice in his head telling him to apologize, to courtesy for Schlatt, and to leave as fast as possible, Schlatt was already angry, he'll just piss him off more if he stays, and when Schlatt gets pissed off he-
A soft tail brushing against his hand brings him back to the present, Fundy's looking at him with concerned but understanding eyes. Tubbo takes a moment to remind himself that Schlatt is dead, and to notice Sapnap backed off, and that Tommy is president now. He gives a short and polite nod to Fundy, mouthing a "thanks" he would've said it out loud if Dream and Tommy weren't arguing. Wait... he should probably pay attention.
"-George's house!" Dream yells, throwing his hands up as Tommy splutters nonsense in return, clearly showing of his disagreement with whatever statement Dream made. Tubbo shuffles up besides Quackity, carefully tapping the duck hybrid's middle finger twice, it was their own made up code for "i wasn't paying attention, what's going on?".
"Dream is claiming you burned down George's house" Quackity whispers "Sapnap, Punz and George are backing him up, George and Punz are saying they watched you burn it" Tubbo frowns, he wants to protest against their claims, but Tommy is already doing a great job for him. He walks over to Tommy and places his hand on the taller male's shoulder, a silent show of support.
"Listen Tommy" Dream yells, reaching out to the blonde as if to cover his mouth with a hand, but thinking better of it "Tubbo burned down George's house, we have multiple eye witnesses! Or are you saying Tubbo has a alibi that can prove otherwise?" Tommy nods, full of confidence as always, he smiles brightly as he turns to his vice "Tubbo, where were you yesterday evening, and who were you with?"
Tubbo mulls over his answer, he was working on his bee dome during that time, he was building it with Ranboo. He opens his mouth to answer, but a bad feeling grips his heart and squeezes it, and a lie slips past his lips just as naturally as the truth should have "I was working on my bee dome, alone" why did he lie? The truth would have been so much better! He could faintly hear Dream and Tommy yell some more, but that became background noise. He knew why he lied, he lied because he wanted to protect Ranboo, Ranboo was new, innocent, the perfect prey for opportunistic tyrants such as Dream. Tommy and Tubbo were similar in that aspect, both teens wanted to keep Ranboo from playing metaphorical chess with Dream for as long as possible, Schlatt and Wilbur showed them what happens when you lose against Dream, and neither was ready to let bright-eyed Ranboo have even the tiniest chance of losing.
"I want you to exile Tubbo" Dream's words hit him like Technoblade's rocket, burning him from the inside out and drying his throat, rendering him speechless. From the sudden strangled noises next to him he can tell Tommy, Quackity and Fundy are having the same reaction. Once again, it's Tommy who finds his voice first "You want me to WHAT?! No! No no no no no! Fuck you! Fuck you i am not exiling Tubbo!"
"Well, that's going to be a problem then" Dream whistles, Tubbo could hear the smile in his voice, and with practiced ease he whips out a flint & steel with one hand, and Cat with the other "Tubbo burned down the king's house, and i want punishment for his actions, so either exile him, or i'll burn this disc like he burned George's house"
Quiet settled over the people gathered up on the wall. Tubbo could see Tommy's mouth open and close, trying to force out words that weren't there, could see Fundy flinch and shrink in on himself, ears pinned back and eyes ping-ponging between Tubbo and Tommy, could feel his heart drop, his stomach filling with dread. Everyone who was around for L'manburg's war of independence knows how much Tommy values his discs, everyone who's been on the server for more then a day knew how much Tommy values his friendship with Tubbo, but noone knows which of the two he values more, and Tubbo is petrified of finding out.
Quackity laughs, loud and boisterous, like Dream had just told the best joke he's ever heard "Are you crazy?! No way Tommy is going to chose some disc over Tubbo!" the duck hybrid cackles, wiping away fake laughter tears "Tell him how delusional he is Tommy!"
Tubbo looks back over at Tommy, taking in a sharp gasp of air at the lost expression on his best friend's face. His hands itch, and he knows, he knows he wants to grab Tommy by the arm, drag him away from Dream, away from responsibility, back to their bench, play mellohi... mellohi! He has mellohi!
He reaches out, grabbing Tommy's hand, and letting out a concerned noise as Tommy whips his head around fast enough to make him dizzy "Tubbo, i- i don't-" the blond croaks, pulling the shorter close and stuffing his face into the brunette's shoulder, a bit challenging with their height difference but they make it work "I can't lose you too" Tommy mumbles, and Tubbo is reminded of the fact that Wilbur had practically adopted the blond boy as his brother, something Tommy eagerly returned, all that was missing was the paperwork.
"Tommy, it's just a disc" Quackity huffs, fustration lacing his tone "Tubbo is worth ten times more than some random disc!" Quackity opens his mouth again, no doubt to rant some more, but Tubbo shushes him before turning his attention on the distraught blond, the last thing he needs right now is someone yelling at him
"It's okay Tommy, sometimes sacrifices are needed" Tubbo sighs, carefully scratching the back of Tommy's head in the way he knows Tommy loves, and like he expects the blond melts into it, letting out a quiet hum "Plus, i still have Mellohi, and i'm sure we can get a new disc" Tubbo cheerfully smiles, but that smile drops as Tommy freezes "I don't want a new disc" Tommy pulls away, and dispite not being a very touch-oriented person, Tubbo still mourns the loss of the grounding weight on his shoulder.
"You both are being morons! Dream is threatning to burn my disc!" Tommy snaps, eyes darting between Quackity and Tubbo, almost like he expects both of them to attack him "I thought they were our discs?" Tubbo asks softly, and he could hear Fundy growl out a quiet "Tommy, don't" but both are drowned out by Quackity's yelling "We're being morons?! We?! Tommy open your fucking eyes man! You're concidering wether you should banish a living, breathing, human being capable of emotions, your best friend, over a peice of plastic that plays some tunes when you put it in a jukebox!"
"We aren't sending Tubbo away, are we?" Tubbo wanted to scream, Fundy's question had been asked so softly, but the amount of defeat and hopelessness dripping off of it punched him in the gut, Fundy already knows the answer, and Tubbo wants to scream, because he knows as well. But once again the two quieter members of the cabinet go unheard, as the two louder turn their anger at one another.
" Who cares about some discs?!" Quackity screams, shoving Tommy back a bit, and the blond lets out a animalistic snarl that makes a shiver crawl up Tubbo's spine "I do!" Tommy yells back, pushing Quackity. Both Fundy and Tubbo dart forewards, Fundy grabs Quackity's wrist to stop him from falling off the obsidian wall, while Tubbo pushes Tommy back, placing himself between the two arguing allies, Ranboo's shout of distress could be heard faintly, the enderman hybrid probably noticing how close Quackity had gotten to tumbling down the large structure.
Tommy takes no notice of Quackity's near death experience, and tries to get around Tubbo, no doubt to continue their argument. Tubbo grabs Tommy's wrists, keeping the taller in place "Tommy, i promise you that after this is all over, i'll get you a new Cat disc" Tubbo smiles, rubbing circles onto Tommy's arms with his thumbs "It will take a bit, but i'll get a new one! We can let this one be burned and-" Tubbo's throat tightens as Tommy looks at him with undisguised rage burning in his eyes, the anger that was previously thrown at Quackity had increased ten fold, and Tubbo had just made himself the new target.
Tommy rips his arms out of Tubbo's hold, still staring at him. Tubbo makes himself tinier, knowing he messed up big time, why else would Tommy look at him like he wanted nothing more than to beat him up and leave him bleeding out? Instead of going physical the angry teen takes a deep breath before exploding "You- Tubbo, you don't- THE DISK TUBBO- THE DISKS ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU EVER WILL BE!".
Quiet. Quiet takes over the whole group. Even the wind stops howling, everyone is shaking, why? Even Dream and his group are shaking. They didn't get yelled at, they didn't get invalidated, Tubbo did, yet they're shaking. He feels two arms tug him away from Tommy, and he weakly struggles against the hold, Tommy didn't mean what he said, he couldn't have meant it!
Quackity pulls him into a one-armed hug, and points his other finger at Tommy, his mouth is moving, and Tubbo's eyes widen. The only person shaking is Tubbo, the world hasn't gone quiet, Tubbo's ears are just ringing and he can't hear anything. As if realizing his situation was the key to everything suddenly noises surround him once more, Quackity and Tommy are yelling, the wind is howling, Fundy is pacing, he's pretty sure he can even hear Ranboo breathing! Everything is too loud! He grabs his own fuzzy ears and tugs, a horrible attempt at blocking out all the noise.
Dream claps his hands in a almost giddy way, and Tubbo flinches "Well, that's settled" he sounds so happy, Tubbo wants to puke "I'm glad we could come to a agreement President Innit" Tubbo watches as Dream pockets the flint & steel and Cat, his movements, his voice, his entire aura screamed dangerously pleased.
Dream reaches for him, and Tubbo lets out a bleet of fright, he wants to scream again, Dream shouldn't be trying to grab him and drag him to Prime knows where! Quick as a fox he escapes from Quackity's hold and dashes to Tommy, knowing his best friend would protect him, no matter what. Dream reaches for him again, and Tubbo tries to dart around Tommy to safety, but a hand grabs his arm and keeps him in place long enough for Dream to grab his wrist and put handcuffs on them.
Tubbo watches the hand that sealed his fate drop from his arm, he follows it as it drops limply to Tommy's side. The blond is looking straight ahead, not looking at him, why isn't he looking at him? "Tommy" Tubbo calls out softly, headbutting the male in the side, aside from a winded "oof" Tommy makes no move to regonize the gesture of affection.
"Tommy, look at me" the male stares straight ahead, no reaction to Tubbo's words "Tommy, look at me please!" Tubbo stumbles back as Dream tugs at the chain connected to his wrists "Tommy look at me goddammit!" Tubbo screams, why won't Tommy look at him? He wants to apologize, to reassure Tommy that none of this was his fault, to ask if they're still friends, but he can't do that, not when Tommy won't meet his eyes.
Tommy finally turns to face him, and Tubbo smiles, taking a breath in preparation for everything he was about to say, but Tommy beats him to it "Tubbo Underscore, i, President Innit, hereby exile you from L'manburg. You will have one hour to leave this country, if you are found in L'manburg after your hour is up, it will be considered treason" Tubbo's words die in his throat, instead a single sob is all that comes out. He takes a look around, both Quackity and Fundy are looking horrified at Tommy, Punz and George look like they'd rather be anywhere else, and to Sapnap's credit, the raven-haired man looks guilty "Well, you heard the president Tubbo, time is ticking, lets go!" Tubbo wouldn't be suprised if Dream explodes from happiness at this point.
Dream tugs on the chains again, and this time Tubbo follows without fighting back. He feels a odd sense of calm, but he knows it won't last, he'll break, he can feel a typhoon of emotions inside of him, but it's going to fast to pick out a single emotion, so he just feels numb. He can feel Tommy's stare on the back of his head, but this time it's him that refuses to acknowledge his best fri- his ex best friend.
As Dream leads him down the stairs he can hear a worried warble from Ranboo, so he puts on a brave face and smiles, not wanting the enderman to remember him as the weeping exiled, because honestly, he doesn't know if he'll make it back alive, or if he'll make it back at all. Tommy, Fundy and Quackity are screaming at eachother again, he can't hear what they're saying, but by their tones it's probably something bad.
"Take care of them for me, okay?" he asks Ranboo, pointing with his head at the L'manburg cabinet "I know they're idiots, but they're lovable idiots, i promise"

‘Weeping Headstones - Prologue’
The beginning of a Doctor Who AU I’ll never finish: Tommy and Tubbo are all set to hang out and go stargazing when- Well, they never can get a bit of peace, can they? Feat. some suspicious statues in the shape of Weeping Angels...
It promises to be a beautiful starry night. That’s what Foolish apparently told Tubbo earlier that day as he hung around Snowchester. Tommy doesn’t know how he knows that or how far he trusts it to be true, but if he’s right, he’s glad Tubbo’ll be here to spend it with him. It’s been a good week or so since they’ve had the chance to go stargazing; between bad weather, Tubbo’s responsibilities in Snowchester, Tommy’s new hotel project and yesterday’s nuke test, they’ve both been rather busy lately.
Just the thought of it makes him clear his throat on reflex, and it brings a smile to his lips. He’s pretty sure he doesn’t have radiation poisoning. Like, eighty percent. Okay, maybe he should’ve been more careful, but since he and Tubbo emerged from Dream’s creepy-ass vault with their lives Tommy’s been feeling rather indestructible. Not to bring Hamilton back into it, but he couldn’t seem to die. Besides, they had medicine, he hadn’t been accidentally hit by a nuke, and Dream was in the prison. Nothing could possibly pose him any threat right now.
As if to immediately prove him wrong, there’s a sharp ‘TWANG’ from only a few feet behind him, accompanied by a sharp whistle of air. Tommy’s reflexes from fighting a dozen wars and never knowing who to trust kick in, and he sinks down on the bench as an arrow sails through the empty space where his head just was. He has no armour and only a random sword on him: on the other hand, it’s just a skeleton. He draws his sword, dropping to one knee using the bench as a shield. The skeleton stands on the path outside his house, nocking another arrow on its bow. Tommy takes advantage of that brief moment, vaulting the side of the bench to run at the skeleton. He lands one hit on the wretched thing’s shoulder when he hears a familiar hiss from behind him to the right. He lets out a cry of surprise and swings in a wide arc, striking the creeper that had also snuck up on him and sending it back a couple metres or so. He scrambles back in the direction of L’Manberg, watching as the creeper shuffles forward and the skeleton fires a lazy shot to the side of it.
“You okay?” Tubbo sticks his head out of Tommy’s doorway, obviously alerted by Tommy’s surprised squeaking. “Nothing I can’t handle.” He says quickly, darting forward and delivering a second strike to the creeper, sending it reeling back again. Tubbo appears to disregard his statement, levelling a loaded crossbow at the skeleton and pinging a bolt off its skull. It makes a dull thudding sound and leaves a sizable dent. Tubbo reloads again, but the skeleton shoots first. Tommy doesn’t even need to dodge, as the arrow sticks in the creeper with a sound like someone stepping on a stick of TNT - don’t ask how he knows what that sounds like. There’s another hollow thud as Tubbo cracks another bolt off the skeleton’s body, and the magic holding its bones together disintegrates along with its form.
“We can call that one a team effort.” Tubbo shoots him a wink and goes to retreat back inside when he’s stopped by a small gasp from Tommy. He turns back, “What is it?” The blonde boy is sifting delicately through the pile of ash left by the creeper, revealing a round of black shellac like a palaeontologist uncovering a precious fossil. Neither boy can suppress the grin that forms. “Which is it?” Tubbo asks, and Tommy lifts up the disc to show the red centre. “Blocks again.” He leans back and gets to his feet. “You want it?”
“Sure.” Tommy passes it to Tubbo with a gentleness reserved only for discs and injured friends, and Tubbo gives him a genuine smile as he goes to put it in his ender chest. As he carefully puts it away, a warm feeling spreads through him. Contentment. He keeps an ear out for any more Tommy mishaps.
The boy in question is currently messing with the jukebox, resetting Cat since it had stopped playing since his encounter with the skeleton-creeper duo. The familiar synth melody begins to play, and Tommy’s about to recline back on his bench when he hears a series of small crashing noises, like someone’s dropped a frying pan down a flight of stairs. Furthermore, the noise came from the opposite direction to his house. He looks in the direction of the downtown SMP but sees nothing- No, wait.
Sticking just above the footpath is the top of a head. Someone’s crouched on the Prime Path stairs up to his house, and they’re watching him. Tommy maintains eye contact while getting up, going for a staring contest to psyche them out, whoever they are; he hasn’t figured that part out yet. They’ve got grey hair and a very stony gaze that turns his stomach over, but apart from that, he can’t make out anything since their body is out of his sightline. He makes his way over, head whirling with thoughts. Is this the apparently infamous Addison Rae??
Tubbo’s communicator buzzes unexpectedly. He yanks the microphone down to his mouth with two fingers, hands full of cr*p from Tommy’s chests. “Tubbooooo…” From the sound of Tommy’s voice, he’s making a regretful face and has just done something stupid. “On a scale of one to started a war, how bad is it?” A loud sigh is transmitted through the headphones in regrettably crisp quality. “Different scale. This is like that time I mistook a scarecrow for an attractive woman.” Tubbo sniggers. “What happened?”
“I feel like a foolish man, Tubbo.” “What did you do?” “I thought someone was watching me from the stairs, right? But it’s just this creepy-ass statue.” He plows through Tubbo’s giggles, kicking the statue with his foot in irritation. Part of its arm goes with it. “I’m being trolled with an oversized garden gnome.” “Weird. What’s it look like?” “It’s- It kinda looks like it belongs in a graveyard actually. It’s an angel, but its hands are on the stairs and everything, like it crawled up here to get me.” “Ah yes, angels. The most terrifying of monsters.” “I’m gonna ask Foolish if there’s a family relation-” “Oh god don’t-” “Or if I can kick it off the stairs like the other one. There’s a broken one down there.” He relayed, peering down at a pile of grey limbs and ash on the ground far below.
“I say pay it no mind. I’m nearly done.” Tubbo passes on, dumping an armful of saplings into a corner of the appropriate chest, inventively named ‘nature sh*t’. “How long does it take to find drugs in my chests? If it’s that hard, we have a serious problem, and not just with your eyesight.” Tommy complains, putting on a show of frustrated gestures to no one as he makes his way back to the bench. He flops down, ignoring the acute feeling of being watched sourcing from the statue on the stairs. “Tommy, looking in your chests is like trying to find the button in Pogtopia.” The blonde boy sits up straight, his back cracking in several places. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Tommy can hear the smile in Tubbo’s voice the next time he speaks. “Lot of stuff that looks about right, but none of it actually does what you want it to.”
Tubbo hears the beginning of a reply masked with an undignified splutter, and he’s about to shoot something back first when the scream rips the sarky comment out of his mouth. He sprints up Tommy’s stairs and throws himself out the door, crossbow levelled… But there’s nothing there. Also, there’s no Tommy.
Panic starts to rise. He scours the immediate area, peering over the edge of the hill, along the path towards the hotel, all the way to the stairs down to L’Manberg, checking the houses opposite Tommy’s and down the stairs where Tommy said the angel statue was. And while there’s a broken pile of stone far below as he described… Whatever Tommy saw on the stairs is gone. 
There’s no time to worry about that.  “Tommy!”  His thoughts race. What could’ve happened?  The wind starts to pick up, and it brings a whirring sound only just obscured by the dying strains of Cat.  “Tommy?! C’mon man, this isn’t funny!”  It can’t have been a mob, there was nothing there. There’s no one else in the area; even so, Tubbo loads his crossbow and keeps it handy. He hasn’t been killed: there’s no blood and no body.
Could Dream have escaped the prison?
The thought sends a chill through him, rivalled only by a frigid Snowchester morning. Tommy hasn’t told him, properly, about his exile yet. There’s still a lot of leftover feelings involved for both of them. Even so, it’s plain to see: Dream hurt Tommy in ways neither of them had dealt with before: ways they should never have to deal with. If Dream were to get out of Pandora’s Vault and then go for Tommy before anyone could warn them…
Tubbo has his phone out and is halfway through typing Sam’s number when a small noise behind him causes his danger sense to start blaring like a nuclear siren. He turns, standing near Tommy’s door again, just in time to see a figure pass overheard, leaping from the roof of Tommy’s house and landing ahead of him. The figure makes a beeline for the bench, or more accurately the jukebox, and Tubbo watches dumbfounded as the figure lifts Cat from where it’s playing with practised ease and places it into their coat. The mystery thief is facing the wrong way for Tubbo to see their face, but he does take note of the pink hair tied back in a small ponytail, the ruby-red, fur-lined cloak and the sturdy boots leaving tread marks in the grass before they hop over the edge of the hill. He runs forward to perhaps get a shot in as they escape, only to be met with an empty landscape and the beginnings of a very pretty sunset.
He drops his phone to his side, jaw slack and nerves shaking. Someone’s trolling him and Tommy by moving an angel statue around. Then Tommy suddenly vanishes with a scream. And the icing on the absolute disaster cake: a possibly very powerful enemy’s just made off with one of the discs.
“Oh, f*ck me.”
