sbi actor au - drabble

for @/BariAstralis on twt || 3.4k

Tommy blinks at him, mind instantly spinning.

“On… what?” he edges, shifting anxiously from foot to foot. “Who?”

OR, where Tommy is the new errand boy on set and SBI are the big shot actors --- not that Tommy knows that.

“Tommy,” Jack calls, breaking Tommy out of his haze of concentration. “Director wants you. He’s talking to props.”

Tommy lifts himself up, stretching as he abandons the set piece behind him.

“Got it,” he says, already breathless. It’s his first day, not even noon, and the ever-changing list of tasks he’s been given feels like a whirlwind. “Thanks, Jack.”

Jack nods, and then he’s off, barking orders into his headset even before he’s turned around. Tommy watches him disappear through a doorway leading to costuming and heads the opposite direction, searching for flashes of green or a disheveled head of blonde hair.

He pokes his head into three doorways before he finds him, talking to one of the prop managers. They’ve barely started prepping for shooting, but Dream looks stressed. He fidgets anxiously with a thick, well-worn booklet that Tommy can distantly recognize as his script.

Tommy, still trying to maneuver both the enormous studio and the rules of interacting with the crew, is hesitant to interrupt. Luckily, he doesn’t have to, as Dream catches him in the doorway and his olive eyes glint with recognition.

“Tommy,” Dream starts, voice commanding all of Tommy’s attention by pure title alone. “I need you on Wilbur duty.”

Tommy blinks at him, mind instantly spinning. What the fuck is Wilbur duty? Is he supposed to know that? His film classes, which enabled him to get this position, hadn’t said anything about it.

“On… what?” he edges, shifting anxiously from foot to foot.

“Wilbur,” Dream continues distractedly, as the props manager waits to steal his attention back. “Wilbur Soot.” At Tommy’s blank look, Dream’s expression shifts into incredulity. “The lead protagonist, Tommy.” Before Tommy can even flush with crawling humiliation, Dream shakes his head. “Look— we need him on set in twenty. Just figure it out.”

“Okay,” Tommy replies, heart skipping a beat. “I can—”

And Dream’s turned away again, as if Tommy had never been there in the first place.

Sighing, Tommy picks himself up and spins around. He vaguely is able to recall how to get outside, where the actors’ trailers are set up. It takes about five minutes of tripping through hallways and weaving past busy-looking people with clipboards and earpieces, before Tommy realizes he has no clue where he’s going.

Fuck. How long did Dream say? Twenty minutes? It’s already been at least five. Double fuck. Tommy needs to go.

Desperation turning his thoughts into a scrambled, jagged mess, Tommy ducks through the closest doorway to give himself a chance to get reoriented—

Only to slam into someone’s chest.

They collide hard enough to send Tommy falling back onto his ass — or he would have fallen, had fingertips not seized his sleeve at the last second, jerking him upright.

“Sorry,” he mutters instantly, stepping back. “Didn’t see you, man.”

The guy he collided into blinks, only just regaining his own balance. He’s wearing a long, brown jacket, a tattered red beanie, and fingerless gloves that Tommy instantly charts to be edgier than he mentally wants to deal with. He looks nice enough, despite the harsh undereye bags weighing down his gleaming brown eyes, even offering Tommy a kind smile. But still.

Wait. Tommy squints, and that’s when he sees it, just barely visible around the guy’s mouth: stage makeup, foundation or powder or some shit, slightly creasing. He’s done enough practice camerawork to know how to recognize it. His brain fills in the pieces by itself.

Is this guy an extra? Maybe?

He’s costumed like one, and the makeup is a dead giveaway. The undereye bags suddenly look just barely painted on — a bit too dark and patchy to the normal eye to seem natural, but brushed on in a way that would look great behind a lens.

Not that it matters. There’s probably tons of extras roaming the set. Tommy doesn’t care about them, he cares about—

He is about to turn away when it hits him. If this is an extra, he probably knows where the Wilbur Soot guy is. Hell, he at least probably knows what the man looks like.

If he asks for help, Tommy might actually have a chance of getting Soot to the shot in twenty minutes.

“Hey!” he blurts, startling the man, who’d been about to drop the smile, presumably to leave. “Can you help me? I’m looking for someone.”

He gestures awkwardly to the badge hanging around his neck, on a bright blue lanyard.

“Sure,” the guy answers smoothly. “Who are you looking for?”

“Wilbur Soot,” Tommy answers instantly, relief flooding him. Yes. He can do this. He didn’t just mess up his job on day one. “Dream needs him on set in twenty. Or, like twelve now.”

The guy blinks at him. Then blinks some more. His lips have parted, face utterly slack with disbelief. Tommy frowns.

“What?” When the guy says nothing, just stares Tommy down incredulously, Tommy’s cheeks heat. He’s aware that he doesn’t look prepared, but what is he supposed to do? He has to go. “Do you know where he is or not, bitch?”

Tommy can’t pull back the word before it’s off his tongue, and he winces internally as the guy’s eyes widen to the size of saucers.

The guy gapes, and keeps blinking — that’s his favorite hobby, apparently. Then,

“Are you fucking with me?” he asks, and Tommy scowls.

“Why would I be fucking with you?”

“Why—” He sighs, a disbelieving laugh rushing past his lips. Then, his expression schools into one that’s much more calm, cool amusement settling over his face. “Wilbur Soot? Does that name not ring a bell?”

Tommy flushes further. “Look— I know he’s some big shot actor. I’m going to learn everyone’s names, I promise.” When the guy grins, eyes gleaming, Tommy writhes beneath what he thinks might be patronization being directed at him. “It’s my first day, man. You don’t have to be a dick. I can ask someone—”

“No!” he says quickly, grabbing Tommy’s arm. Tommy startles, blinking up at him. The guy smiles bashfully and lets go. “No, I can help you. I actually happen to know where he is.”

That makes Tommy pause, hope blooming between his ribs. “You do?”

Oh, this is great. This is better than great.

“Mhm,” the trenchoat guy informs him, nodding. “I can take you to him, if you want?”

“Please,” Tommy breathes, relief shuddering through him. “I don’t want to lose my job. That would not be pog. Like, at all.”

Trenchcoat raises an eyebrow. “Pog?”

Tommy flushes again and pretends he didn’t. “Forget it. So do you—”

“Oh, yeah,” Trenchcoat answers, shoving his hands leisurely into his coat pockets. “I do. Follow me.”

Tommy does, taking in the first full breath since he clocked in that morning. The compounding pressure of being in such a chaotic environment feels lessened. Tommy sighs.

“What’s your name again?” Tommy asks, as he’s led back down the hallway he came from.

More crew turn the corner, heading straight at them, but the Trenchcoat guy just slides an arm around Tommy’s shoulders and pulls him close when he threatens to collide with one of them. As soon as they’re clear, he lets him go, and gratitude surges through him.

The guy flashes his eyes towards Tommy, even as his face remains facing the front. “Uh… Will.”

“Will?”

“Like William,” Will informs him, and Tommy hums a noncommittal agreement.

Sure. Will like William.

They continue navigating corners, so fast that Tommy’s head begins to spin all over again. He finds himself clinging to Will’s jacket, because the guy — extra or not — seems to know where he’s going. Where Tommy had tripped through the hallways, Wilbur navigates them all lithely and easily.

Well, until they stumble directly into another person.

For the second time today, Tommy gets shoved backwards. And for the second time, Will catches him.

“Techno,” Will says, before Tommy can even regain his footing. “Fancy seeing you here.”

“Hullo,” the newcomer greets tonelessly.

Tommy skims him over. His hair is long, and pink, but the rest of him is dressed like he’s stepped out of another era, with a billowing white poet’s shirt tucked into black slacks. Tommy is also pretty sure he’s wearing red contacts. Unless his eyes just look like that, which is possible. Huh.

“Don’t mind me, Tech,” Will greets, a strange, sharp smile twisting his lips. “I’m just helping this intern out.”

Tommy’s face twists into a deep scowl. “Intern?”

Will looks down at him. “Aren’t you an intern, uh” his eyes flick down to Tommy’s badge, “Tommy?”

“I’m a set assistant,” Tommy insists vehemently. “Not a fuckin’ intern.”

The Techno-guy’s eyebrows shoot up. “Like an errand boy?”

Yes.

“No,” Tommy iterates, a flush blooming over his cheeks like a pink rose unfurling.

“Is that much better?” the pink-haired dude mumbles under his breath, but he’s bigger than Tommy, and much scarier than Will, so Tommy lets him get away with it.

“I’m studying film,” Tommy tells him shortly. “Cinematography. I want to shoot movies. I’m here to learn how a production runs.”

He doesn’t say that he’d applied for two months to even land a spot in a movie so big. He doesn’t get the feeling that Will or Techno would care too much. They’re here too, after all.

“You’re in a good spot for that,” Will offers, and Tommy nods.

“Exactly,” he agrees. “Experience is experience. I’m learning a lot.”

But then it gets quiet. Like, awkwardly quiet. Tommy clears his throat.

“Anyway—”

“Anyway,” Will cuts in, wrapping his arm back around Tommy’s shoulders. “Techno, I’m helping Tommy here find Wilbur.” Looking at Techno, his eyes glint like he’s telling a secret without moving his lips. “Wilbur Soot. Apparently he needs to be ready to shoot in twelve minutes.”

“Probably ten,” Tommy mumbles.

“Does he?” Techno remarks dryly, scraping his eyes over the two of them.

His gaze hovers on Will. Tommy looks over at him, to see what Techno’s looking at, but he doesn’t find anything.

“Yes,” Will emphasizes, tugging them ahead. “Are you going to join us, then?”

“...Sure,” Techno remarks. “I’m pretty sure I’m morally obligated to stop you from bullyin' children.”

“Oy!” Tommy and Will say in unison, gazes snapping towards each other instantly.

“I’m not bullying anyone,” Will insists, at the time that Tommy all but shrieks, “I’m not a fucking child.”

“Right,” Techno says to both of them. “Whatever. Just—” He waves a vague hand forward. “Lead the way.”

And Will does, dragging Tommy forward as if he’s known him for years. Tommy can’t even complain, mind split between the silent countdown ringing through his skull and the fact that he really, really should’ve done his research on the film cast before he’d taken the job. He’d, well, admittedly, he’d been a bit distracted by the fact that that one certain actor was in it to do much more than skim the cast list when he’d landed the job. But apparently, that was not enough.

It’s fine. He’ll learn the rest over the next few months.

“So, do you know this Wilbur Soot guy, or do you just know where he is?” Tommy finds himself asking to break the silence, as he��s led back towards the center of the building.

“That’s a good question,” Techno drawls, glancing at Will. “Do you know this Wilbur Soot guy?”

Will glares at Techno, then looks back at Tommy with a soft, hesitant expression. “Uh, I know the guy.”

Tommy raises an eyebrow at the tone of his voice, grinning instantly. “What’s that supposed to mean? ‘S he a dick or something? I’m sure all the big shots are.”

Techno chokes on laughter, and Will swallows what might be sourness before Tommy can really get a glimpse of it on his face. “He’s a great guy.”

“Nah, you don’t gotta lie,” Techno chimes in, clapping Will on the back, and Tommy’s eyes — shining with new amusement — swing to him. He looks at Tommy seriously, red-contact eyes glinting. “He’s made three temps quit because of his coffee order—”

Will’s hand flies out before Techno’s finished, socking him hard in the shoulder. Techno doesn’t even budge, only grins. Will scowls, and it’s pronounced by his undereye makeup.

“That’s not true, Tommy, don’t listen to him.”

“You guys are annoying,” Tommy complains, relishing in the twin looks of disbelief it draws.

Will’s disbelief melts quickly, into something like endearment. He reaches out a fingerless-gloved hand and ruffles Tommy’s hair.

“See this kid, Techno?” Will asks, as Tommy shoves his hand away good-naturedly. “I like him.”

“Fuck you,” Tommy deadpans.

His grin widens. Tommy sighs, looking away.

That’s when he notices they’ve circled to the main shoot. Tommy’s set piece that he abandoned twenty minutes ago has been properly constructed, and the studio lights are on, shining brightly and glinting off the array of metal cameras decorating the area.

And there, among the chaos: Dream, flipping through his script with a frazzled fervor, like it carries the secret to immortality.

“Shit,” Tommy hisses under his breath, realizing that it’s probably been twenty minutes, and he’s only gone in a circle — not a Wilbur Soot to be found.

Of course, as luck has it, Dream’s eyes scan the room, and then land sharply on him.

He sees Tommy and straightens, walking forward quickly. Tommy swallows, feet dragging. He would stop completely if Techno wasn’t behind him, nudging him forward with a gentle hand on his back.

“Tommy,” Dream calls, and Tommy wishes he could melt into the floor.

A million excuses bubble up on his tongue, none of them particularly good either.

“Sorry, Dream, I was just—”

But Dream’s face splits into an easy smile. “You found him! That’s good.”

Tommy’s mouth snaps closed. He squints, wondering what the hell Dream is talking about.

“What?”

“And Technoblade,” Dream remarks, maybe even like he’s impressed, though Tommy’s not sure he’s comprehending. “That’s good.” He turns his head to call over his shoulder, to someone that Tommy doesn’t quite see, “Everyone’s here! Start prepping cameras to shoot in ten!”

Then, when he looks back at Tommy, some of the harsher stress lines are gone from his face. He claps Tommy on the shoulder, smiling.

“Good job, kid. Get these two to costuming for me, will you? Jack can give you another task when you’re done.”

He nods, once, decisive like a director should be, before he’s gone.

Tommy blinks.

Then, the realization crashes over him, strong enough to rattle his bones. Turning slowly, dull anger sparking in his eyes, Tommy looks at “Will.”

Will, not as in William, but as in Wilbur Soot.

Wilbur Soot, who is grinning sheepishly at Tommy. His dark eyes are the color of bashful guilt.

Wilbur Soot — who Tommy had shit-talked right to his bloody face.

Tommy burns. “You—”

“Wilbur Soot, at your service,” Wilbur grins, extending a hand that Tommy lets hang between them.

“—rat bastard,” Tommy finishes in a hiss, acutely aware that his cheeks and ears are on fire.

The floor could drop out from under him, sending him plummeting to some circle of hell, and Tommy thinks he’d be grateful. Surely Hell is cooler than the heat gnawing at his face.

“For the record, I was not a part of this,” Techno— Technoblade— states, hands raised placatingly.

Tommy glares at him. “You participated, prick.” He slides his gaze to Wilbur, swallowing hard. “You humiliated me.”

“Oh, come on,” Wilbur soothes, though Tommy doesn’t care for it. “Dream had no clue. You’re fine.”

“I’m not—” Tommy’s breaths come a bit too quickly. Humiliation is not something he typically feels, but now, it ravages him. His bones feel like they’re swelling, dwarfing his body, too big for his skin. He swallows hard, spitting the next words. “That’s not fine. If he had known—”

“He didn’t,” Wilbur says quickly, and Tommy thinks he’s realized he’s upset him, because he instantly sobers, apologetic. If backpedaling were a person, it’d be Wilbur. “Look, I didn’t mean to upset you.”

Tommy scowls, though he feels it dip into a pout before he can help himself. “You’re a dick.”

“Hey, I’ll make it up to you,” Wilbur offers quickly, glancing at Techno with panicked eyes that Tommy, dimly, relishes in. Prick. “You can stick with me today. I’ll show you all around set. All the cameras and bullshit—”

“I think Dream will actually murder me if I do that,” Tommy counters sullenly, crossing his arms.

“He won’t,” Wilbur insists. Now he sounds like he’s talking to a baby, eyes pouty — as if his net worth isn’t twenty times the net worth of Tommy’s whole family. As if Tommy is someone that a movie star needs to grovel to. “Techno, back me up. He won’t.”

“He won’t,” Techno agrees flatly, “But—”

“You’re insufferable—”

“Let the kid go back to work,” Techno continues, offering Tommy a faint smile. “If he gets fired, the movie’s down an errand boy—”

“Set assistant—”

“And you’re down someone to drag around like a stray cat,” Techno finishes, lips twitching.

Wilbur looks remarkably petulant for a grown man, but he concedes. “Fine.” Then, he holds out a pinkie. “But only if you promise to let me make it up to you properly while we’re still shooting.”

And, okay. Now that Tommy’s skin has cooled, and some time has passed, he can appreciate that Wilbur’s prank wasn’t the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. And Wilbur was fun, before he was a dick. Can Tommy turn down a debt from a movie star — prick or not?

“Okay,” he agrees, finding himself able to somewhat mirror Wilbur’s smile as he interlocks their pinkies. “I’ll let you make it up to me, bitch.”

Wilbur seems apologetic enough to let the swear words slide. This feels like proper payback.

Relief turns Wilbur’s smile soft. “Good, good. That’s—”

“Wilbur, Techno,” a voice calls from behind him, interrupting him. Instantly, Tommy straightens, eyes widening. “What are you boys up to? Not terrorizing this young man, I hope.”

Tommy turns on his heel, swallowing hard as his heart starts to race, because he recognizes that voice—

“Philza,” he breathes reverently as he comes face to face with his idol. “Holy shit.”

Philza smiles kindly, eyes crinkling as he walks over to them. “Hiya, mate. I take it you’re a fan?”

“Superfan,” Tommy answers without thinking, 90% sure that his eyes are glazing over like blue marbles in his skull. “I’ve seen all your movies. You like, reinvented film with the Hardcore trilogy.”

He thinks he’s going to faint as Philza smiles, all pleasant and nice.

“Aw, thanks mate, that’s very—”

“Hold on—” Wilbur interjects, shoving between them with a look of disbelief — shattering the moment. “You know who Phil is, but not me?”

“Everyone knows who Philza fucking Minecraft is, dickhead,” Tommy counters hotly. “He’s a legend among men.”

Wilbur shakes his head disbelievingly. Over his shoulder, Techno radiates amusement.

“C’mon,” Wilbur announces, turning on his heel determinedly. His hand tangles in Tommy’s sleeve, dragging him forward. Tommy raises an eyebrow, letting him — he does have a job to do, after all, and a time limit to do it in. “What did Dream say? Costuming? We’re leaving.”

“You’re a disgrace,” Techno drawls to Wilbur, as Tommy is half-dragged, half-led across the room.

“It was lovely meeting you!” Tommy calls, a saccharine smile shot over his shoulder, which Phil returns with glittering eyes.

“Don’t let those two get you into trouble!” Phil calls, smiling wide.

“I won’t!” Tommy hollers.

Techno chuckles, and Wilbur shoots him a glare. “I hate you both.”

“You barely know me,” Tommy snipes, yanking his arm free to walk at Wilbur’s side. Two can play at the being-annoying game. “I thought you were supposed to be making it up to me. What happened to that, Wilbitch?”

“Techno, get him out of my sight.”

“You signed up for this, Wilbur. This is on you.”

“Fine,” Wilbur sighs, but the playful expression on his face tells Tommy that he’s not truly upset. “I suppose I did.”

Heart suddenly swollen with a mischievous sort of warmth, Tommy grins, only to himself.

The production has just started, he’s just met his idol, and there are still months of filming to go.

Maybe sticking around Wilbur and co. won’t be so bad after all.

Oh!!! OH!!! SOMEONE SAID ACTOR AU!!

SIF, DO YOU, by any chance, have some little head canons about that? Ahhh love reading your posts and ignoring my responsibilities

I dunno, I think my take on an actor AU would be the Eldritch AU. It's an actor AU, but nobody but c!Dream knew. Involuntary, unwitting Actor AU. With no cameras. Or like, maybe one camera but it only took 10 photos and none of them are good.

I like my stuff to carry a solid layer of still being fucked up to it. Even when I'm writing lighter stuff. Actor AUs in full are hard to do that with, although there's a really good Warden Hybrid c!Dream AU on a03 that plays with that concept well! I think the most recent work is Roommates?

That being said, in a full Actor AU I think the most important thing is that the show is done live, and c!Wilbur made up the thing about fucking a fish on the spot, and refuses to retcon it no matter what anyone else tries. People tried to pressure him into changing it, and c!Phil made up the thing about fucking a fridge in solidarity.

Dsmp au idea

so it’s kind of an actor au plus a real minecraft au plus some other stuff.

So everything that was really bad in the dream smp was all acting and they had all planned it because they thought it would be fun, so like Wilbur’s death? Ghostbur was just Wilbur in a crap ton of makeup. The red festival and tubbo’s scars? All planned and Tubbo’s scars were from an accident at an earlier date, the festival was just where they took all the makeup off of tubbo that covered the scars and it helped him accept what he looked like with them. Ok, so here’s the thing, in this au, all of the dsmp people would come from bad situations that dream saved them from by offering them a spot on the server. So, all of the dsmp members think very highly of dream and think it’s the funniest thing ever that he plays the villain. Everyone on the server would throw hands for dream. Also, the minors are treated the opposite that they are in cannon, everyone adopted them, especially dream. They're like, community children, everyone shares parenting rights. Also, everyone is op as crud in this au. Like Sam is a creeper hybrid that is his cannonical height of 7′4″ and can blow up without dying or taking damage and is a genius and can use a trident best of anyone in the entire universe or something like that. Also all of the relationships are happy, karlnapity, foolsamponk, drunz or dnf (whichever you prefer), Niki and Puffy, (platonic) ranboo and tubbo, and any others that I'm forgetting. When the nuke comes down, that was really everyone just moving to a new server because they wanted to start fresh and they started up (or ended) the acting thing with that ending scene that we saw in the finale before ( the “wanna be friends?” scene) and everyone is just really happy

CRIMEBOYS AU

Tdlr; Tommy works at odeon part time so he can get money to move. Wilbur is a famous actor in a new film. Boom brothers

(My sister worked at a cinema for a bit so i’m gonna use my knowledge on what she did to write this, so if it’s different to what you know just know that it is still true to life, pls and ty)

Aka: i went to watch the mario film and this popped into my head so i’m writing it, enjoy the crimeboys content :D

———

Whoever told Tommy that working at a cinema would be great had clearly never worked at a cinema.

He had a feeling he was going to start having nightmares soon about shovelling popcorn mindlessly for hours. Plus, the customers weren’t the most fun people to talk to. Before this job, Tommy had worked at a supermarket for a few months, and somehow those people were more bearable. People spend so long picking, and then he makes it and then they get annoyed after eating the entire thing.

But it was his coworkers that made it so he didn’t punch someone in the face.

“Tommy, did you hear about that new movie that’s coming out?” Tubbo had asked excitedly once the foyer was empty, and Tommy could only hum as he sipped on his slushy. “It’s a new super hero film, a new franchise, and do you know who’s playing the main role?”

Tommy in fact didn’t know. Despite needing to come in for work every single day the entire next week, he hadn’t thought to check who was acting in it (he didn’t know the name either, all he knew was that a new film with superhero that make child go ‘wow!’ That’s how Ranboo had explained it anyways).

“It’s Wilbur Soot.”

Tommy spat out his drink, wiping his face as he stared wide eyed at the brunette.

“No shot.” He replied, jaw open as Tubbo frantically nodded, his smile bright.

“Yeah, they posted an interview with him and he was explaining how he wants to inspire kids like how he was inspired.” Tubbo explained, leaning on the counter with a grin. “I would do anything to be as cool as him.”

There were many famous actors, and Tommy knew all of them and their mothers off by heart. It was one of the reasons he decided to work at the cinema in the first place, hoping he would get to use his knowledge for the greater good. Wilbur Soot was one of the greatest actors of all time, and he was only twenty-six. Twenty-six and he was probably one of the most well-known people in the country. Tommy had spent hours watching interviews of him, ranging from a few minutes on the news to hours of talking about the most random things on podcasts.

That was also something that fascinated Tommy about him. Wilbur just seemed like any other guy. He was tall, brunette, wore glasses ‘just for show’, and he didn’t spend heaps of money on designer clothes. Paparazzi caught him in charity shops several times, once even in Primark looking at a white frilled shirt? Either way, he didn’t spend his money stupidly, but rather donated most of it to charity, as well as promoting music festivals that he sometimes even performed at.

It was why Wilbur Soot was one of Tommy’s favourite actors of all time.

And he was in a new movie that Tommy knew absolutely nothing about.

The doors to the cinema opened, and Tommy sighed as he turned back to his station. Time for more popcorn shovelling.

—

The fact that the first entire three days of Wilbur Soot’s new movie were sold out said a lot. After several hours of research, Tommy had discovered many things about this new film.

It was called ‘Siren’, and it was about a superhero with the ability to control people using only his voice. Due to his work, Tommy got two free tickets to see any film, but because this new one was so popular he had to wait until a week after to use them. Which he wasn’t completely against, work was tiring and he simply had no time to see a film amidst it all.

The very first showing was on a Monday, and it was the premier. The seats were more expensive, but people queued to buy tickets even after they’d all been sold online.

It was chaos.

“No, I ordered a medium popcorn, not a large.” The woman complained when he handed over the box.

“I can remake it for you if you’d like?” He asked, ever kind and totally not because he was obligated to be respectful.

She huffed, lifting her chin and snatching the box. “No, I’d like to pay for my medium but get the large because you messed up, for compensation.”

“Ma’am-“

“Are you saying I’m wrong, Mister,” she drifted off, looking at his badge before fixing that sharp look on her face, “Tommy, are you accusing me of lying?”

“I would never, I’m just saying-“

“Get your manager for me, I would like to see him.” She ordered, and Tommy had to bite back his retort of ‘she’s a woman, actually’.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the rest of it.” A voice cut in, and Tommy looked up to see-

Oh my god it was Wilbur Soot.

“Sir you have to wait in the queue.” Tommy found himself saying before he could stop, leaning his hands on the counter with a smirk when Wilbur paused, wallet in hand as he looked at Tommy.

“I’m not buying anything though?” Wilbur asked slowly, but Tommy shook his head, pointing to the back of the queue that was only growing.

“You’re paying, you’re buying, back of the queue.” Tommy told him, staying adamant as he smiled. Baffled, Wilbur slowly put his wallet away and walked to the back. “Now, Ma’am, either pay for the large or I’ll remake you a medium.”

She ended up paying for the large.

The queue was so long Tommy only reached the end of it five minutes before the movie started, handing over their coke and salted popcorn with a customer service smile he’d mastered over the past few months.

Only then did Wilbur step forward again, smiling as he rested his hands in his pockets.

“Hello sir, thanks for waiting, what would you like?” Tommy asked with a grin, and he was surprised to find Wilbur smiling back, something strange flickering in his eyes.

“Oh, nothing really,” he drifted off, looking at the screens behind Tommy with the menu on, “Wait you guys do nachos?”

“I mean, yeah, they’re a bit expensive when you can make better ones from scratch for cheaper but,” Tommy scoffed, shrugging at Wilbur, the latter looking at him weirdly. “What? Have I got something on my face?”

“No, it’s just-“ he cut himself off, looking back to the cinema screens with furrowed brows. “Nevermind.”

“You want those nachos then big man?” Tommy asked, and Wilbur sighed again, smiling nonetheless.

“Please, and a pepsi please.”

“Pepsi max I hope.” Tommy muttered back, picking up a premade tray of nachos and placing them on the counter.

“Nah, just pepsi.”

Tommy paused in his movements, staring at Wilbur with astonishment.

“And I thought I knew everything.” Tommy laughed out, making his way to the drinks machine. “Never meet your heroes I guess.”

Whilst Wilbur was paying, that weird look never left his face, picking up his order before walking towards the screen. He looked back for a moment, so Tommy gave him a two fingered salute.

Then, he disappeared into the darkness of the cinema, and Tommy was left rethinking the past half an hour of his life.

—

It was a week later when Tommy saw Wilbur again.

He was the only one left on shift, everyone had left an hour earlier and he was left to clean up their mess.

It was when he was wiping down the counters that the actor strolled in, a yellow jumper, black jeans and a brown trench coat on. No one ever walked in so late, so Tommy found himself looking up at the sound of the door opening, smiling when he saw the brunette.

“Hey Wilbur, there’s no films on for the rest of the day.” Tommy said, scrubbing at the side where something wasn’t coming off. The man smiled back, shrugging.

“Didn’t come here to watch one.” He replied simply, walking up to the counter and leaning on it.

Tommy frowned back. “Well that’s a bit stupid isn’t it? Wandering into a cinema to not watch a movie.” He scoffed back, rolling his eyes before placing the cleaning stuff back under the counter, starting to untie his apron.

“I came here to see you, actually.” He returned almost slowly, watching Tommy’s face as if he was studying it closely. The blonde faltered, confusion overtaking him as he flicked through his mind for any reason Wilbur would show up to see him.

“Oh shit- please don’t fire me.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry for being rude to you, my bad, I need this job.” Tommy tried, pinching his nose as he muttered to himself, words hardly coherent as he took a shaky breath.

“Woah, mate, I’m not here to fire you, you weren’t rude to me at all.” He immediately assured, holding his hands up in mock surrender when Tommy glanced up at him, only more confused than he was before.

“So,” he started, leaning on the counter like he had when he first met the man a week prior, except the actor seemed a lot more nervous than he did before, “You came here to see me, but not to fire me?”

“I-“ the man paused, running a hand through his hair, “I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out some time soon.”

If Tommy had a thousand years to guess why Wilbur was there that evening, he didn’t think he would’ve gotten it.

“What?”

“Well, I- uh,” he stuttered out, ever eloquent, “You seemed kinda cool, and you didn’t treat me differently despite knowing me.” Tommy laughed to himself, purely because it was a lot more than ‘knowing’, more so ‘looking up to’ and ‘being inspired by’. “And you’re funny, and I don’t know-“

“Who talked you into coming here?” Tommy asked slowly, a realisation dawning on him.

One interview a few years ago, when Wilbur’s career was just starting to take off, he had explained how his confidence usually stopped him from being able to make friends. That explained the nervousness, but it didn’t explain where he’d gotten the confidence to ask in the first place.

“Techno, my-“

“Twin, I know, I’m not stupid.” Tommy finished for him, smiling as he looked at the other looked at him in bewilderment.

“How much do you know about me?” He asked, shock in his voice but very little accusation. Tommy grinned, taking a handful of popcorn before walking out from behind the counter.

“I have watched every single one of your interviews at least twice.” Tommy explained, throwing a piece of popcorn in his mouth. “You’re cool, it’s really the least I could do.”

“So,” he drifted off again, swaying on his feet with a smile, “Do you wanna hang out some time?”

Tommy rolled his eyes, threw a piece of popcorn at the man’s face and opened the door to the cinema.

“Sure, my shift ends at one tomorrow, don’t be late.”

Wilbur’s smile was so bright Tommy thought he was hallucinating.

“See you then!”

The door swung shut behind him.

—

“So, let me get this straight.” Niki (Tommy’s boss, the one that Karen asked for once the week prior) started, hands pressed together flat in front of her face as she leaned over her desk, Tommy sat in the chair opposite as he hid his smile behind his hand. “Wilbur Soot came to the cinema yesterday and invited you to hang out, so you want to leave work early?”

“I forgot my shift ended at four today and told him it ended at one!” Tommy defended, arms wide as Niki laughed quietly to herself. “Please, I will make up for it at some point this week I swear, Tubbo and Ranboo have it handled!”

“Last time Tubbo was left alone without you he set the popcorn machine on fire.” Niki explained, and to this day Tommy had zero idea why she didn’t sack him for it. “I can’t leave them alone together until at least a month after the incident, it’s policy.”

“But Niki, do you understand how big of a moment this is for me?” Tommy pressed, hands clasped at the back of his head. “My hero has asked to hang out, I can’t cancel on him.”

If anyone would understand, it would be Niki. Sometimes, if she had to cover a shift, Tommy would talk about his favourite things to her purely because she listened. So, she may have heard him ramble on about Wilbur Soot for hours, if he added it all up.

And it seemed he was right, because she sighed, leaning back in her chair with a thoughtful look.

“If you can find someone to cover for you, and make up for the time lost, and prove that you aren’t lying to me to get out of work early, then you can leave at one.” Niki finally told him, and Tommy had never jumped out of his seat faster, rushing around the desk and pulling her into a hug.

“You won’t regret this Niki, I’ll tell you all about it I promise!”

She giggled as he left the room, shouting back, “I expected nothing less!”

Tommy found someone to cover for him in five minutes.

Well, kind of.

“Jack, please, if you cover for my shift today I will do anything to repay you.” Tommy begged him, looking into the bathroom mirror and looking at his crazed eyes.

“What’s happening that’s so important that you’re willing to do anything?” Jack laughed back, but Tommy knew this was no laughing matter.

“Wilbur Soot is happening, Wilbur Soot, Jack, and if you don’t cover for me I will hate you for the rest of my life.” Tommy spat, and the call went silent for a moment.

“If,” Jack started, and Tommy’s hope was flickering, “If you cover my next three shifts, and buy me McDonalds after our next shift together, I’ll cover for you.”

“Deal.” Tommy said immediately, already making a mental note of everything he agreed to doing. An extra three shifts is something he could deal with, and it gave him an excuse for a McDonalds, it’s a win in his books.

“I’ll be there at one.”

“Thank you so much Jack, thank you.”

The man laughed from the other end, and Tommy heard his keys jangling, “Of course man.”

—

Wilbur walked through the doors a few minutes before one, and Tubbo and Ranboo’s jaws dropped.

“Tommy, Tommy,” Ranboo started.

“Yeah?” Tommy asked with a grin.

“That’s Wilbur Soot.” Ranboo pointed out, trying to stay subtle as he poured a drink. “That’s Wilbur Soot, Tommy, how are you so calm.”

The boy hummed, already untying his apron. “I knew he was coming.”

“You knew and you didn’t tell us?” Tubbo whisper-yelled, eyes fierce as he glared at him.

“Well I thought it would be a cool surprise.”

“Hey Tommy.” Wilbur called when he got close enough, smile as bright as it was when Tommy saw him the day before, and the blonde couldn’t help but return it.

“Hey Wilbur, ready to go?” He asked, folding his apron and leaving it on the counter, knowing Jack was bound to walk in at any moment.

“Yeah, are you?” Wilbur returned, looking at the two boys who stood beside Tommy who stared at him as if they’d seen a ghost. “Hi, nice to meet you. Are you Tommy’s friends?”

“Not anymore.” Tubbo mumbled, earning a nudge from Ranboo.

“I’m Ranboo,” the man introduced himself, holding out a hand that Wilbur took with a warm smile, “And this is Tubbo-“

They both turned a little more to Wilbur’s left, to see Tubbo grabbing Tommy’s hair and yelling god knows what at him.

“I’m sorry I wanted to surprise you!”

“You could’ve surprised me when he visited last week.” Tubbo pressed, tugging harder on his hair. “This is so sad, I thought better of you than this.”

Wilbur turned back to Ranboo, finding him much less shocked at the scene. “This happen often?”

The taller scoffed, rolling his eyes. “This is Tubbo on a good day.”

“You fucking prick, I swear to god you will never forget this day.”

“You know,” Wilbur started, leaning against the counter, “I think my brother would like him.”

“You have a brother?” Ranboo asked, and Wilbur paused for a moment, considering the situation for a moment before nodding.

“Yeah, his name’s Techno, he’s an author you might’ve heard of him.” Wilbur explained, seeing the flash of realisation on Ranboo’s face before the man smiled, nodding.

“Yeah, Tommy’s mentioned him before I think, not a big reader but he has all of Techno’s.” Ranboo explained, and that seemed like enough for Tommy to find the strength out of Tubbo’s hold, the blonde quickly hitting the back of Ranboo’s head.

“Shut up no I don’t.”

“You do, you were going on and on-“

Another light hit. “No I don’t.” The boy glared at his taller friend for a moment, and Wilbur saw the moment realisation dawned on him, quickly nodding.

“I lied, he doesn’t.”

Tommy hummed, before walking back around the counter. Only then did another door open, and it was the one from the staff rooms. Niki was dressed in her usual work outfit, her hairstyle choice for the day being a bun, her pink hair pulling into it nicely.

Her smile grew when she saw Wilbur, and she immediately made her way to Tommy’s side.

“So you weren’t lying to get time off work.” Niki half laughed, looking at Wilbur for a moment before holding out her hand. “I’m Niki, Tommy’s boss, he got his shifts wrong and was meant to be ending at four today.”

On cue, the main doors to the cinema opened, and in walked Jack, his eyes immediately lighting up.

Only then did Tommy start to notice just how uncomfortable Wilbur was getting, nudging his side and motioning outside.

“Thanks Jack, appreciate you!” Tommy shouted to him, speed walking out of the doors. Wilbur offered a smile, swiftly pushing open the doors and letting the cool autumn air hit his face.

“Well then,” Tommy started as he skipped down the steps, smiling when Wilbur turned to face him, “Where to?”

———

Me when me me me when CRIMEBOYS *runs*

They mean sm to me, you don’t even understand.

Tommy: *omg my hero is here omg omg omg*

Wilbur: *yooooo this kid is really fuckin cool and hilarious i want to befriend him but im too terrified to do so*

Techno: *suck it up and get on with it I wanna meet him*

Btw after the end they go to a cafe, get some coffee, go to a shop and laugh at Techno’s books, and then they go on a drive and listen to music.

I feel like in general c!sbi got butchered in most common fanfiction trends because writers tended to forgo their canon relationships for much more...cookie cutter ones I guess? There's the bio family fics where Techno, Tommy, and Wilbur are all Phil's kids, the dark fics where Phil is a violently abusive parent to Wilbur and Tommy, the fics where they're portrayed as a seemingly evil group of 'good guys', etc. And there's nothing wrong with people writing these fics, I don't have issues with the individual authors, but it's tiring when these ideas become large enough that they tend to overtake works based off of their actual dynamics. Like. Phil's attempted kindness but complete lack of understanding or connection to Wilbur is interesting!! Tommy, bearing no relation to Phil, being the one to try to bridge the distance between them and being the only person to seek out his advice is interesting! Tommy and Wilbur not being biological brothers who weren't raised together adds layers to their dynamic! Techno's shifting relationship with Tommy over the course of Pogtopia to Doomsday was interesting!!

I also may be off base on this, but I feel like more often than not when an author cracks out 'The Dream Team' as the main antagonists, they're much more likely to have completely different characterization than if an author chose one of them to focus on. IDK. I think many people try to look for tropes to slot characters into, and having multiple characters with complex relationships treated in that way tends to make the results more egregious.

mmhm mmhm -- i'd say that the cc dynamics kiiiiiinda influence a lot here shrug. the idea of "sbi versus dteam" has its roots in conflicts that are decidedly not based on the dream smp roleplay, honestly, and a lot of that carried over into the fanworks that were supposedly based on the dream smp but really took a lot of creative liberties dabbling in elements of both rpf and fic about the server itself.

not that that's a bad thing, or anything! people can write what they want, etc. but it sure did lead to a lot of err misleading? i guess? "advertising" when it came to people's "dsmp AUs" -- maybe confusing is a better word. like, look ooc-ness is something that every fandom has to deal with, but in most fandoms fanon isn't so obviously based on what is still the fandom, but like. a part of the fandom that's technically kinda separated from the fiction of the fandom. most of the time with actors they don't necessarily have a whole career founded on their playing a persona with other people in a context that ISN'T acting yknow? or maybe there is it's not like id know lmao

but yeah the phenomenon of bleedover from cc personas is all too real in this fandom, for better and for worse

#i tend to find that certain 'parts' of the dsmp fandom keep the different parts of the fandom (cc versus c!) more separated as well #which influences their fanworks #my asks !!#disk horse #tw discourse #<- kinda?

In a world where once you reach the age of 16, you are able to communicate with your soulmate. Whatever you write on your wrist appears on your soulmate's wrist as well. Or that was supposed to happen. But Wilbur is 19 and yet he had gotten no response. He is disappointed, thinking he had no soulmate. Until... . . . The message "Hey, bitch" appeared on his wrist one afternoon.

OR;

Platonic Soulmate Au

OR;

Tommy is only able to communicate with Wilbur once he is 16, so until then Wilbur is convinced he doesn't have a soulmate.

OR;

Wilbur doesn't know how to tell the teenager he is an actor. (The actor Tommy has been talking about non stop).

OR;

I don't even know anymore.

The C!Prime Primer!

Since I’ve been getting a whole lot of new followers after my Pokemon posts, I’m sure a lot of you are confused about the two little guys I’m constantly posting about. This is the post for that!

What is c!Prime?

c!Prime is short for c!Primeboys. c!Primeboys, or c!Discduo, is the name for the platonic relationship between c!TommyInnit and c!Dream from the Dream SMP.

So, are these real people?

No. c!Tommy and c!Dream are fictional characters portrayed by the YouTubers they are named after. They’re very distinct from their actors.

Didn't you know that the real people involved are problematic?

Yes, you don’t need to tell me and I do not support that. I do not watch or interact with Dream or his content at all, and while I think Tommy is alright as a whole he’s done bad shift I don’t support. I simply don’t see why that should affect my writing of fictional characters they played in a no longer active server.

So, who are c!Tommy and c!Dream?

c!Tommy is a severely mentally ill child soldier who, while loyal and good at heart, hides that behind a mask of toxic masculinity and is just kind of a dickhead teenager a lot of the time. c!Dream is a mad scientist obsessed over the idea of immortality, who hides his emotions and attachments out of fear yet desperately wants friends and family. The two of them are in a deeply unhealthy and abusive friendship, where c!Dream is physically and emotionally abusive towards c!Tommy and conditioning him into seeing him as his only friend.

Is this canon? Was the Dream SMP always like this?

Basically, yeah! While a lot of the content I have about them comes down to personal interpretation, they canonically are part of a storyline about child abuse and trauma.

Why are you so obsessed with Minecraft child abuse?

Multiple reasons. For one, I'm both autistic and ADHD, and it’s both a special interest and a hyperfixation to me. Also, I just enjoy writing horror. But most importantly, the Dream SMP and c!Primeboys storyline helped me come to terms with my own abuse, and I want to help others do that with my own work.

What if I'm uncomfortable with these themes?

Feel free to block the “Primeboys (Derogatory)” tag!

Is this meant to romanticise/glorify/normalise abuse?

Absolutely not. I intend to do the opposite- to depict abuse frankly and to show how horrific it’s effects are. Ideally, I’d like to help others realise what they went through wasn’t okay, as that’s what canon helped me do. I intentionally depict aspects of abuse often not shown- most notably, non-sexual abuse by an unrelated authority figure, the mindset of an abuser, and the mixed feelings a victim might have to their abuser, but this is not to normalise anything. It’s to shed light onto overlooked areas of abuse in the hope it’ll help people realise that this is a part of it.

What's with all the AUs?

I like AUs. Also, I am plagued with visions about them that haunt my dreams.

Why are you so defensive over two Minecraft characters?

Years of harassment. I had a harassment campaign against me accusing me of shipping these two, romanticising abuse, being a predator myself, and in general sending me victim blaming bullshit and gross sexual shit in my inbox since I was a minor myself. I also have moral scrupulousity, and part of that revolves around fiction. Sorry if I’m a bit of a bitch about that, literally just tell me because sometimes I don’t realise it.

#The metaru post of all time

AU! The DSMP members live on the server and all the lore is just acting. A mix of IRL and canon in the sense they still exist in the smp world but are not streamers. Moreso, actors living on set. Viewers are still viewers, but also other players living on different minecraft worlds.

Drunz new years fluff! For the 2023 dreblr server gift exchange.

prompt given: C!Dream and (any character of your choosing) kissing on new years.

@nympippi

Hello! I had a lot of fun with this prompt!!

Thoughts on osmp x dsmp crossovers? Do you have any way you think they’re “done right”?

So! I think they can work, really well and really simply and there's tons of ways they can work.

I'm gonna start on the negative thoughts tho so I can end positive.

I don't like thinking of OSMP as an alternate universe or some parallel dimension. osmp!Wilbur ≠ dsmp!Wilbur, and that goes with all characters. Not only do the characters who share the same content creator actors just Not Act Similar, but they're literally different people living different lives, and there are people who are present in one world, while not on the other.

OSMP and DSMP aren't like Empires SMP or Hermitcraft or whatever where season to season or series to series characters played by some of the same people are the same characters. To our knowledge OSMP and DSMP are entirely separate in every way.

So, naturally I hate aus where it's just "this is alternate reality tommy who is happier", it's not an alternate reality. They're not the same person.

One is a kid who has a loving dad and is learning how to fly and who does training courses with his brother and best friends and who opened up a pet sanctuary. The other is a traumatized child war veteran who's died a handful of times and can't even trust the people he's closest to. They're just not the same character.

Once again by extension I also hate crossovers or aus where OSMP is just a dream or some afterlife or better life for DSMP characters. Like- Ghostbur passing on and becoming Phantombur and OSMP is his afterlife or Tommy dreams of a world where he's happy at night and it's all gone, because it entirely discredits OSMP as its own server entirely separate from the DSMP and it's just, not fun for me.

Now, there are plenty of good ways to make a crossover though, but the base of it is you have to treat OSMP and DSMP as actual separate things, and their characters as different people. I personally love tying OSMP and DSMP together via the character of Walter Crondale. If you don't remember, Walter is a radio talkshow host in a 1940's esk style who reports on local news of the OSMP server, and of the DSMP server. He reported on turtle eggs hatching on OSMP and he reported November 16th on DSMP. So, you have an interdimensional or interserver traveling character, which means other characters could possibly do that too.

Plus on both servers, servers outside of their own exist. Hypixel for example exists for both. If you think as all servers as worlds or planets that you can travel to and from, I think it's the easiest (sometimes I picture it like the videogame hub/power strip in Wreck it Ralph if that visual is better).

I think overall a cross over is done right by treating the servers as their own stories with their own characters seperate from each other, then allowing them to interact.

For example, I like the idea of Phantombur and L'manbur having known eachother way before the early L'manberg days of the DSMP. I like to think they'd be pub buddies, and they had fun singing and adventuring, and Phantombur taught L'manbur the basics of brewing. Eventually they go their separate ways, and L'manbur uses what Phantombur taught him when he started L'manberg. Phantombur occasionally writes him letters, and maybe one day they meet again, with friends this time.

Actor AU where the teens actually look forward to shooting with Dream in emotionally intense scenes because he buys them all the ice cream they can stomach afterwards.

Like even after they say they're good, they all use it as an excuse to get ice cream. Dream included.

Ranboo offers to buy his own ice cream once and is shut down by everyone else. Dream makes bank, he can afford it.

Tommy usually beats Dream to his car. To the point where Dream yeets him his keys while he finishes packing his stuff so Tommy can turn on the AC.

Purpled goes every time even though he’s never in any of these scenes. For “additional emotional support” as any good friend and co-star would.

Tubbo will start fake sobbing on the spot any time someone questions their routine. Without hesitation.

"Dream, Tubbo literally just shot a Tiktok two minutes after that scene I don't think he needs-"

"OH, OH MY BRAIN IS BLEEDING TEARS! THE SOUL-SPLITTING AGONY!"

When they’re shooting the scene of Tommy visiting Dream in prison, Dream’s just sitting in the middle of that barren ass room eating a burger and fries between takes.

Dream smp actor au my beloved

First season

Dream is a very famous actor, his movies got recognition very quickly regardless of being a pretty new actor, the most popular out of all of his movies being “Manhunt” an action movie that has a lot of improv and fighting scenes

After his second movie of Manhunt he decided that along side with some of his close friends and co-workers to start a tv-show called the Dream smp

It took a really long while to get all the actors for the first season, a lot of planning and getting people to work on sets and props

Some of the actors Dream got to participate were his close friends Sapnap and George who were in the cast of his last movies “Manhunt”

Tommyinnit was a kid Dream found in a small community of actors called “Hypixel: Sky Block series” he went ahead and literally snatched him from that serie and added him as one of the main leads of the storyline of his serie

Tubbo was kind of a addition out of the blue, Tommy after joining the cast decided to take Tubbo with him, a fellow friend and co-worker in the Hypixel series. Dream didn’t had a problem with it after realizing that both kids were insanely talented

Wilbur was, in Dream’s words, the best addition to the cast he could had ever imagined, Wilbur had been in the past in several other popular shows like “SMP Live” and “SMP Earth”

Wilbur not only did an excellent work as an actor but also added so much into the story, helping Dream several times with the storyline and script, eventually becoming a co-writer of the script over all season one

Making the serie itself was hard, but getting everything together and editing was a whole lot of work

But the most difficult thing was actually acting, the thing was that the whole cast of the serie got along so well, that when it was the time to actually act, getting in character was kinda impossible

Even for Dream was difficult to get in character

The whole war declaration took at least five shots because Dream kept breaking character or Sapnap kept wheezing

Eret’s betrayal was one of the last scenes to be recorded because it was just really really hard for the cast to actually act hurt or not joke between lines

The Tommy vs Dream duel was so funny to the cast, even more when Tommy was done with makeup and he literally had an arrow inserted in his stomach

So many memes, so many

The L’manberg era was one of the most difficult to act and write, the cast being new and not used to the whole atmosphere

But when the election and pogtopia era hit in, it was much more easy for the actors to take everything much more serious

Jschlatt and Technoblade were added to the cast and it was insane for everyone, both actors being really close friends of Wilbur because of their old projects together (SMP Live, SMP Earth, etc)

The election arc was, described by the whole cast, as one of the best parts of the whole season

Quackity would pull this insane improvs moments between shots and everyone would just have to run with it, getting a lot of extra but very cool scenes

Tommy and Tubbo would just pull the strangest faces in shots whenever they knew that the camara focus wasn’t in them just to try to make each other laugh

Niki and Awesamdude would sneak food into the set all the time, bags of chips, coffee, chocolate, sometimes even cake

Wilbur, Schlatt and Quackity had this whole competition between them where they would literally live inside the set and whoever stayed the longest would win 100 dlls

The pogtopia era was more easy to record, but much harder to act

Wilbur had lots of trouble being actually mean to Tommy and overall acting as an antagonist

When recording sometimes he would just stop and ask Tommy if he was okay and make sure to let all of the cast know he didn’t meant what he was saying

Tubbo Schlatt and Quackity had overall a very good time recording, most of the time laughing after hard scenes and joking around

Not Schlatt and Techno collectively suffering cus they got at least three hours of makeup prep because of tusks and horns 😭✋

The pogtopia set was one of the hardest to archive, this one having legit stares and buttons on the walls

Tubbo and Wilbur fell down those stares at least five times, Techno almost convinced Dream to use a harness on set

Technoblade revealing the vault full of weapons and stuff for the revolution was such a difficult scene to make because everyone kept messing around with the cool props

Schlatts death was easy to act, as soon as he died he made a peace sign and screamed “I’m outta here!” And proceed to walk out of the set😐

Moving on, Philza’s addition to the last episode of the season was something most of the cast wasn’t aware of, most of the reactions (besides Philza and Wilbur) being completely genuine

Philza is known for his famous serie called Hardcore and a couple of appearances on others people’s series

The end of the season was something hard to do, people had to use harnesses and when explosions occurred they had to be literally thrown into the air getting a lot of genuine screams

Tommy was supposed to be the president of L’manberg but he decided to pass the power to Tubbo in a moment of improv, Dream and Wilbur liked that scene a whole lots

The cast made Wilbur a funeral party after the last shot, lot of people got drunk while Phil just took care of the minors and made sure they didn’t get in trouble <3

Second season

The second season was something that all the fandom awaited eagerly, wanting to see what had happened with L’manberg and the beloved characters, so Dream and Wilbur made sure to make everything perfect, everything connecting points on the story

Ranboo was one of the new additions, a new actor that worked on his own going from place to place, the well known place like Hypixel, Bedwars (Invited by Purpled) and in his own side of TikTok

Dream found out about him and decided to add him just on a go, he of course wasn’t ready for the big impact the boy would have in the story at all

Now, Ranboo is one in the suffering gang, every morning having to spend hours in makeup along side with Tubbo (horns) Wilbur (ghost) and Tommy (exile appearance)

By the way, Ranboo’s storyline was supposed to be separated from the whole L’manberg and Exile story, but Tommy and Tubbo liked him a lot so decided to add him on their storylines

Tommy was supposed to burn down George’s house alone, but the same day they were recording he asked Dream to add Ranboo. And Tubbo decided to make Ranboo his minutes man out of the blue with simple improv and Ranboo went along with it

Oh, talking about Exile

If the cast thought Pogtopia had been hard to act??? Wait for the Exile arc

Literal pain, for literally everyone involved

Tommy is a lil shit but it was legitimately difficult for Dream to be actually that villain and manipulate and ahg, pain

Tubbo and Tommy had so much trouble recording the whole fight scene at the wall, it took at least three days to get the shot right because Tommy and Tubbo couldn’t stop breaking character or laughing

Oh yeah, it was difficult to this kids to stay away from each other, they were so used to working together that it was legitimately difficult to not be together

Which caused for Tommy and Tubbo to sneak into eachother sets and try to chat and just vibe together which would end up with Ranboo dragging Tommy away from Tubbos set and Quackity doing as well with Tubbo

New L’manberg was nice to record, Tubbo tells when he is asked about it, it was a really nice change for the dynamics, including Ranboo and Fundy more, tho he missed Tommy dearly during the recordings

At the very end of exile, one of the last shots, most exactly when Dream has to blow up Tommys stuff, he accidentally tripped with one of the props and ended up breaking a leg

The recording went straight to Twitter where people lost their shit over the scene, mostly because Dream tried to continue the scene with improv but Tommy lost his shit and they had to take the whole shot again after Dream got checked up

Technos execution was planned to happen really early in the season but Techno kept forgetting that he had to get on set so they had to move it slightly at the end, the end of exile and the execution hitting at the same time

The butcher army cast had the idea of the bloody aprons, Dream had this whole thing were they would have this really cool uniforms but they just went “nah, bloody aprons”

Ranboo was supposed to have one as well but he tried to use his character’s morals to get out of it, he succeeded, no bloody apron for Ranboo :)

The whole execution scene at Technos house was so funny to record, things without effects are extremely hilarious

Quackity kept messing up his lines, Tubbo kept falling and tripping when he had to run, Ranboo just didn’t knew what to do, Fundy kept blocking “hits” that he was supposed to take

Techno just wanted to be finished already, he was so tired 🥲

Moving on, the whole death scene where Techno uses the totem of undying was mostly made with editing, the anvil was a green square made out of foam, and the totem was just a green stick

Really funny without effects, really badass after editing

Moving on! Tommy living in a hole was literally not planned, Tommy was supposed to try and hide inside Technos room but he said fuck that and made the team make another entire set for something that would last tops a week 😐

Techno and Tommy had a blast doing the whole “Welcome Home Theseus”. The scene was taken perfectly the first shot because the both of them were so excited for that scene

Finally Tommy can leave the suffering makeup gang cuz his character is healthier now 😌✌️Techno is now taking his place suffering in makeup prep because of his scars and tusks

The day of the Festival was so important to the storyline so everyone was extremely nervous before recording, but it was okay, the whole episode came out really well

Tommy and Techno had to use green capes between the invisible shots and it was just hilarious for everyone on set

Tubbo accidentally forgot his speech and had to improvise in front of all the crew

Dream fell at least twice when he was “building” the walls around L’manberg again

Tubbo and Tommy kept laughing or apologizing to eachother while in the fighting scene

Tubbo accidentally slipped and the disc Mellohi accidentally broke when he was about to give it to Dream 😬

The whole Doomsday deal was something really really hard

A lot of what happened was made with editing so most of what happened on set was just green screens and sounds out of computers to let the actors know what was happening

Technos dogs were actually from a fan! This fan had this whole adoption establishment and decided to let the cast use em for the recording! They even got a tour :)

Technos and Tommy’s whole exchange during doomsday is supposed to be heartbreaking and sad to watch, but Techno and Tommy have such a good relationship that they just, kept laughing, Tommy kept making faces and Techno’s voice wasn’t genuine while saying his lines

Ghostbur’s exchange with Phil almost didnt happened because Wilbur kept refusing to spend five hours in makeup prep lmfao

The whole cast did sang the L’manberg anthem after it was blown up, even Dream and Techno. The clip of the cast just singing will forever stay in Twitter

The aftermath of doomsday was a good change of things, much more calm recording sessions for at least a few weeks

Snowchester was something that Tubbo came up with as pure improv, he liked the idea of some kind of retirement place so he decided to add it after doomsday

Ranboo moving in with Phil and Techno was complete improv as well from Phil’s and Techno’s part, Ranboo literally had no idea what was happening when Phil invited him to live with em

Ranboo literally got snatched lmao

Endgame or the final disk war was surely something

The prop team had to make bout four new sets in the matter of a week, the most hard one to make being the mountain one

Tommy and Tubbo knew that the whole episode would be hard to record but they were still extremely hyped just because they got to record together again as besties

Makeup time at the end was about eight hours, Tommy suffered a lot while Tubbo was just used to it at this point

THE WHOLE PRISON SCENE WHERE ALL THE SERVER GOES THROUGH THE PORTAL??? PAIN.

Everyone is lost, no one knows when to cross, people are missing armor, no one knows where the fuck George is, Punz keeps breaking his sword accidentally, everything is falling apart

Quackity wanted to play a prank on the cast by appearing shirtless in the super intense scene but everyone was so tired of recording that Quackity was actually shirtless in the final shot

Dream stayed in his obsidian box at least half an hour because Tommy kept messing up his lines

At the end of the season, where Dream is finally taken to prison Wilbur makes his appearance to Tubbos and Tommys surprise

Their reactions were genuine because only Dream and Wilbur knew that part of the script

Overall, the end of the season was amazing and the fandom went insane with it

Extra stuff <3

Nobody knows if Skeppy and Bad are actually dating or not, it is a mystery for everyone

Most of the pets used in set were borrowed from fans :)

The Drista saga are used as comedic relief or filler episodes, Drista being actually Dream’s lil sister who insisted in wanting to appear in the show as a god

Michael is actually Technos little brother who went to the set a couple of times cus Techno was babysitting him. He made his way into some of Ranboos and Tubbos shots, after that they decided to adopt him and make Michael canon just cus they liked the kid a lot

Dream decided to give Karl the chance to have a spin off of the show called Tales of the smp after realizing his talent at storytelling. Karl had the possibility to get new actors for the serie but he decided to use the same cast and just make them act differently, the fandom loved it

Wilbur and Tommy had this cool idea between them and after a while of writing and planning they decided to start their own show called the “Origins SMP” featuring some of their friends from other shows, not only the Dream smp

[thanks for reading lol, I think I got slightly carried away]
