the great adventures of y/n tommy tubbo jack and ranboo - how y/n made friends with everyone
this is an extra to the great adventures series
requested: yes/no
warnings: cursing
tommy
you were actually friends with tommy when he was streaming to a few viewers, and you even watched as his channel grew. eventually he asked you to mod for him, as he knew he could trust you and because had experience being a twitch mod. he was also the reason you began streaming. as for how you met, you were in the same classes as him in highschool, and since you were the ‘quiet’ person in the class, they sat tommy next to you. honestly, you hated him when you first met him and the feeling was mutual. you didn’t want to sit next to the rather loud teenager and he had no one to talk to anymore as his friends were on the other side of the room.
“do you ever talk?”
“heh?”
“i said do you ever talk...do you always do that”
“do what”
“that fucking HeH.”
“are you mocking me simons?”
“noooo why would i do that...”
“it’s y/n.”
“right, yeah, yeah, i totally knew that.”
“great now please leave me alone i’m trying to work.”
“loser.”
“the fuck did you just say?”
“nothing.”
it was that moment tommy decided he was going to make you just like him, and a few years later that’s exactly what he did. by year 11 you and tommy had grown extremely close. the last day of school arrived a lot earlier than expected, everyone was extremely stressed, no one knew what to expect or what was going to happen. you found yourself hanging around with tommy a lot more as you had no idea if you would both be going to the same college, in september you received a text message that made your night:
tommy: college sent out emails telling you if you were accepted go check
*2 minutes later*
tommy: well?
y/n: i got accepted
tommy: me too
y/n: call me right now
tommy: i’m about to stream..have you ever considered streaming?
y/n: absolutely not
tommy: make an account and stream after me i’ll raid you..make me mod you know how people can be
once college started up, you were slightly nervous the two of you would drift away from each other. however this was far from the case, although you both did different subjects and he was only in on wednesdays, the pair of you would hang out together a lot more. he would be in your streams and vice versa, you would either be in his tiktoks, or you would be the one filming them.
“y/n make a tiktok we can be mutuals.”
“please god no.”
you spent so much time at his house either talking about random things, playing whatever game you could find, or streaming. he dragged you to every meet up he went on, allowing you to meet people such as niki, phil, and, wilbur. you didn’t know this, but he would constantly bring you up in conversations with dream, which eventually lead to you joining the smp in october where you would later be able to meet the likes of jack, technoblade and jschlatt. the only person you didn’t seem to see on the server was his other friend tubbo.
ranboo
you had become friends with scott after being his first twitch mod and when he noticed you started streaming, he was extremely supportive, always raiding your stream once he ended his. today you found yourself bickering with scott because he wouldn’t let you in mcc despite the fact you were ‘the best minecraft player.’
“y/n, i watched you die in minecraft 7 times last night within 5 minutes.”
“oh i’m sorry mr perfect, let me in mcc.”
“no.”
“fine i’ll make my own.”
and that’s exactly what you did..well you tried your best.
you started your stream as soon as scott ended and had him call you on discord after explaining to your chat what you were about to do.
“scott final chance let me in mcc, i’ll settle for access to the practice server.”
“fine.”
“REALLY?!”
“absolutely not!”
“fuck you, ill be in it one day!”
you left the call telling chat you didn’t need that negative energy in your life.
you really have scott to thank for you making friends with ranboo, scott made a tweet explaining what you were doing on stream which caught ranboos eye.
Smajor1995: after not making it into mcc again my good friend @y/n has decided to take it upon themselves to make their own on stream!! ill also be in the stream (if they answer my calls) *twitch link*
ranboo joined your stream and was instantly met with you yelling at scott (again) to let you in mcc.
“IM YOUR TWITCH MOD!”
“i will ban you from mcc!”
“you don’t have the nerve... so he left the call this is bullshit watch me land this water bucket clutch down this ravine so we can find axolotls and build an army.”
*you died*
you pulled your hood over your face before sinking down your chair taking a deep breath.
“FUCK!”
you calmly got back up and looked into your camera.
“i was so close, so very close.. HEY CHAT SCOTT SENT ME A LINK TO THE SERVER!”
a few minutes later you were able to get onto the server, only to be kicked less than a minute later. the reason you were banned being ‘i watched you fail the water bucket clutch down a ravine.’
you continued your build on your server and just spent the rest of the stream talking about anything that crossed your mind, that was until you decided to copy ace race. once finished, you looked into your camera and pulled your microphone closer to you.
“so this is race ace, so scott doesn’t sue me, and basically it’s going to be this course, but i’m going to change a random section practice it every day, not tell anyone it changed. of course i’m going to tell my team we have to win, oh fuck i forgot scott was watching my stream..it’s okay he didn’t hear me he’s too busy planning how he can rig the next mcc.”
ranboo found himself enjoying your content and even noticed you in his chat multiple times.
“just a minute chat i’m just sending an important dm to my mods.”
that’s when you noticed chat paused for a minute after you sent a message, it confused you for a minute before realising ranboo made you a vip on his channel and you decided to do the same for him on your channel, from there you added each other on discord. the pair of you made friends extremely quickly, you were constantly part of his streams as you would call him on discord not realising that he was streaming.
“hi y/n, by the way i’m streaming”
“i just wanted to ask if you knew how to break into a house?”
“....why”
“i locked myself out by accident and my parents are asleep come help me.”
“you are in the uk.”
“okay? catch a flight.”
chat honestly loved you and your friendship with ranboo. the pair of you only met a few weeks ago and you were already acting as though you had known each other for years.
jack
you and jack met for the first time on the smp, which would have been fine, however you met during lore and your characters weren’t exactly the best of friends. once lore had ended, everyone said their goodbyes and left the call. a few moments later you received a discord message from jack asking if you were available to call any time soon. since you were back in lockdown, you had plenty of free time. you arranged a time and date a few days later you called jack, where you had your first proper interaction out of character.
“hello jack!!”
“oh hi y/n i just thought it may be a good idea to get to know each other, well you know considering we’re both on the dream smp.”
“yeah, yeah, i understand what you mean.”
the pair of you ended up getting along with each other, it was slightly awkward for the first 5 minutes of the call, but that was expected since you hadn’t really met jack before and were anxious to call him. however, after that the conversation started to flow and you found out the pair of you had a lot in common making it easy to come up with things to talk about. it ended up feeling as though you were catching up with a friend you hadn’t spoken to for a while.
“has anyone told you your accent is really strong.”
“so is yours, y/n, what the fuck is that supposed to mean.”
“it means your accent is strong, duh.”
jack asked if you’d like to stay in call and join him on the smp whilst he streamed, and you gladly accepted the offer as you really didn’t want to do your college work, and you were enjoying your time with him. a few minutes into the stream jack had killed you several times.
“JACK STOP KILLING ME!”
rather than answering you he just sat laughing. he then went on to attempt to mute him microphone, he failed. however he didn’t realise this, so you sat listening to his plan on how he was going to kill you again. this time you were prepared, you sent a message to tommy telling him to log on along with your location. few minutes later tommy was by your side and helped you kill jack several times for revenge.
“Y/N...TOMMY!!”
“you didn’t mute your mic, so i told tommy you were bullying me.”
“im gonna go...BYE JACK, BYE Y/N, ILL SEE YOU SOON!”
“i can’t believe you.”
“hey you’re the one who didn’t turn your mic off.”
“how did you know?”
“i had your stream on my other monitor.”
“ayeee you watch my streams?”
“...i’ve been a sub for 4 months.”
the two of you stayed chatting and playing for another hour. the pair of you were already so close and you had only met each other the other day. this was just the start of your friendship, soon enough you were in a laugh and the stream ends challenge on his stream, however due to lockdown rules this was done over discord leading to you accidentally leaving the call several times.
“and they’re gone again!”
*4 minutes later*
“SORRY JACK IM BACK!”
“stop leaving y/n!”
“oh i’m sorry, let me just go yell at my wifi to stop cutting out!”
a few seconds later you could be heard faintly in the background screaming at your wifi as it would continue to buffer. as soon as restrictions were over one of the first things you decided to do was go to jacks and stream a laugh you lose where there was a punishment if you were responsible for losing the last heart. however everything was apparently hilarious in person as you would constantly laugh, meaning you were responsible for losing the last heart.
“y/n give me your phone.”
“no.”
“you lost let me tweet from your account”
“fine..”
soon enough your fans and friends with your notifications on received this twitter notification
“y/n: jack is so cool and funny he is also really tall i am not”
tubbo
tubbo was actually the last person you met and made friends with, your community were convinced for some reason that you both didn’t like each other and that’s why the pair of you didn’t talk to each other. this was far from the case you were both waiting for the right time, tubbo was an extremely busy teenager and you didn’t want to interrupt him, and tubbo knew you were currently in a stressful position since you had recently joined the dream smp, also you were still meeting people so he didn’t want to stress you out. this doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be your friend, he actually asked tommy since he had been your friend for at least 4 years what would be the best way of getting to know you.
“mate they hated me when we first met, just talk to them or something. you could have met them the last time i went up to visit you, but they ended up not feeling too good and went back to the hotel room.”
“when are you next coming up?”
“how about next week, and i’ll bring y/n, i really don’t understand why you’re nervous tubbo, it’s y/n they wouldn’t hurt a fly..well hmm.”
“see you next week then!”
a week later tommy dragged you to the train station.
“uh tommy where are we going?”
“...on a train.”
“no way, really? oh my god!”
a few hours later you finally got off the train.
“ill go with my dad to check into the hotel room, do you want to come with us or?”
“i think i’ll go for a walk and stretch my legs.”
“right okay, meet you at the beach later”
you spent a few minutes walking around the beach picking up any rocks and shells that caught your eye, little did you know it would result in you meeting tubbo. once you finished putting your new collection in your pockets you noticed a small crowd of people walk up to someone asking for pictures assuming it was tommy you walked over to the boy, it wasn’t tommy it was in fact tubbo. at first you stayed silent not wanting to really cause attention to yourself. you only spoke up when some people started to make inappropriate comments towards him.
“oh sorry to be a pain guys me and tubbo have plans with tommy in a few minutes, we should go so we’re not late. bye guys.”
you smiled and waved as they walked away. you looked over to tubbo, you could tell he was still pretty anxious about what just happened and honestly if you was in his position, you would react the same way.
“we should probably move from here incase they come back and see you’re still here, are you okay?”
“im feeling better now it’s over..thank you”
“oh it’s no problem i’m, y/n btw.”
“wait you and tommy were still meant to be on the train.”
“the train was actually on time, tommy went to check into the hotel i wanted to stretch my legs, i also wanted to collect some rocks.”
“did you collect enough or did you want more?”
“im not going to say no if you wanna go collect some with me.”
the pair of you walked around keeping each other close incase the people from before returned. half an hour later, the pair of you sat on a bench close to the beach so you could show tubbo everything you decided to pick up, he ended up keeping a rock he liked to have as a memory. tubbo wrapped an arm around you as it was getting cold whilst you watched the sunset.
“tubbo i think tommy forgot about me.”
“you can spend the night at mine, i’ll send him a message to let him know.”
“are you sure?”
“of course!”
“this has to be the most unsafe thing either of us will ever do, we hardly know each other and now i’m staying at yours.”
tommy sent you a message explaining that he didn’t forget, there was a problem at the other hotel and they had to go find another one, but you’ll be fine to stay at tubbos for the night. the pair of you spent the entire night learning as much as you can about the other person. it had only been an evening but you already knew the pair of you would be great friends.

Faith maintained her life at work, so did rose. Days off were spent together bullshitting, or laughing way to hard at nothing, I mean if you have a best friend then you know exactly what I am talking about. The two constantly gave each other crap whether it was about a movie they were watching or an actor they liked.
The two were siting in Faiths living room, watching Once upon a time (there current binge) when Faiths phone started going off. Her current ring tone was set to the Marvel Bunch from the last press tour, marvel did for Infinity War. You can catch her singing along every time. She reached and grabbed the remote and hit pause "its a telemarketer.. I bet" she said forgetting all about the contest as that was like 4 weeks ago since she actually entered. "oh put it on speaker" Rose smirked as this is what they always did "see how long it takes them to hang up" Faith laughed and answered her phone putting it on speaker phone "Clayton County sherifs department, Faith speaking, whats the emergency" She answered as she normally did when she didn't know the number Rose in the back ground couldn't help but let out a giggle as she pulled out her snapchat to record the exchange as the person on the other line "uh I might have the wrong number but im looking for an Faith Young" the person said hesitant "uh may I ask who is calling" Faith said confused because Marketers didn't actually answer the phone and ask for a name "we are with Omaze" He said again "We are trying to get ahold of Faith to let her know she won the trip to meet Chris Evans at the newest premier of the avengers movie" "alright well I am faith.. and this is a very funny prank I never win anything.. uh are you sure you called the right person? Because I really don't believe you?" Faith countered as she looked at rose freaked out mouthing “WHAT DO I DO?!”  "yeah I am sure, we will be sending you all the information to your email, congratulations" He said "uh thanks" Faith said "bye" she said and quickly hung up the phone and threw her phone across the room as she screamed "OH MY GOD WE ARE GOING TO LA! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN! OH MY GOD NO" she said having an instant anxiety attack “oh god I hope that didn’t break” she said referring to her phone  Rose couldn't help but laugh "you need to take a breath" She smiled "so we are going to LA, girl. LA, isn't that like one of the places you always dreamed about going?" Fait nodded "i mean yeah but New York was first but I guess we are changing that.. oh my god" she said as she got up and started to pace in her living room "im gonna die.." She said simply "either on the plane.. oh god I need to call my doctor and have her Shane Dawson Xanax me" She said laying on the floor as her cat came and climbed on her to get her attention, and was wondering what she was doing  "SCRAPPY NOW IS NOT THE TIME" Rose laughed "oh god you are not going to be like this the entire time are you?" Faith shook her head "no but also I need you to stop me from word vomiting.. okay? I do that when im nervous or anxious and im going to do it right now, oh my god okay so like we get to LA and hotel right, and oh shit how am I going to get off work, doesn't matter ill just call in if it comes to it, like after do I ask him for a drink or party or something like do you think we will be invited to the after party, they will have to have an after party.. oh god what do I wear, do I wear my cap shirt.. cause thats what iw as going to wear when we saw the movie in 10 days.. or do I wear my pink dress.. and legging.. you know what ill pack both" she nodded as she got up and started to pace again "oh my god you do word vomit.. Shut up one step at the time, did you even get the email?" Rose wondered so they could plan and see how long they were going to be there "no idea my phone is over there and I don't wanna touch it, there is something wrong with it" Faith said as she went and grabbed herself something to drink and chugged it because she needed to feel like she wasn't hyperventilating for one moment.

Staying Connected to your Customers in a time of Social Distancing
Tumblr media
Over the last several weeks, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has put the world on high alert, as concerns rise that the virus will significantly impact the wellbeing of people across the globe. Schools are closing, offices are urging employees to work from home, and now, a large number of businesses are being forced to close their physical spaces as well. In the United States, theaters, museums, gyms, restaurants, bars, and shops are all affected by states who are following CDC guidance to eliminate gatherings of more than 50 people for the next two months. 
While these are necessary steps our country needs to take in order to slow the spread of the virus, we know that this can feel like a challenging time for you, your families and friends, and your businesses. However, there is hope! During this time of isolation and uncertainty, people are looking to maintain a connection to the world as it was before the outbreak.
Using digital outlets, such as social media, telecommunication services, email, and e-commerce, staying in close contact with your customers and continuing to conduct business and sales is easier than ever before. 
Increase your organic social media presence 
While everyone is social distancing, your customers are likely to be spending much more time on social media, searching for both news updates and distractions. You should plan to increase your posting frequency to ensure that you are showing up in their newsfeeds, keeping your brand on their minds. This is especially true for those sharing important business updates through these channels, as you will want to reach as many consumers as possible.
Potential content ideas include: 
Being transparent with your customers about what steps you’re taking in your store or office to prevent the spread of the virus
Updating your customers on any changes to hours of operation 
Sharing lighthearted, positive quotes and messages to take people’s minds off the panic 
Utilizing Stories to promote featured sales, products, blogs, etc on your website with the “swipe up” feature to drive more traffic 
Email your customers with business updates 
If your business is still physically open, we recommend mimicking any messages you promote on social media regarding your own efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Send an email to your customers and hang up signs in your store or office to let them know that you’re doing everything you can to protect their health when they visit your space. Share any increase in disinfecting and hygiene protocols you’re following, and let them know that any employees who are ill are following the proper guidance to self-isolate.
If you are operating on reduced hours or are conducting your business online-only, let them know that, too! 
Get creative with digital customer service 
Ensure that your team has eyes on all of the usual digital customer service outlets, such as email, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, etc. 
In addition to simply fielding incoming requests, this is a great time to step up and connect with your customers on a more personal level!  Offer your time to your followers on social media by hosting fun moments of distraction on Facebook or Instagram Live, such as Q&As or product demos. 
If you’re a service-based company, offer to schedule video chats with your clients and customers via services such as Skype, Zoom, or Whereby to discuss projects and estimates. Having face time with others, especially during a time when many people are isolating alone, is incredibly important, for both you and them.
You should also make a point to express to your customers that you’re here for them during this time, should they have questions, comments, or concerns that they would normally ask in person. 
Don’t go overboard on digital advertising 
In terms of building brand awareness, now is the time to leverage digital marketing and social advertising. However, we don’t recommend that you don’t blow through your budget during this period of time. A conservative email drip campaign and a few additional ads on your preferred social channel(s) will be enough to stay top of mind, all the time.
Offer deals on your website
In addition to spending more time on social media, your customers are most likely doing a bit more online shopping while they’re home. Knowing that website traffic will surge with everyone working from home, show customers that you appreciate their support by offering discounts, free shipping, etc. for orders placed on your site.
If you’re a service-based business, you can offer discount codes or certificates that are valid on future service dates. If you’re in the home improvement space, we also recommend adding an estimating tool to your site. Should someone use it, surprise and delight them with a special reduced rate for service. These efforts help you maintain sales while giving your customers something fun to look forward to once the outbreak slows down. It’s a win-win! 
If you don’t currently have an e-commerce component…
Now is the time to start one. Don’t feel overwhelmed by the idea of launching a site, as e-commerce platforms, such as Shopify or Squarespace, don’t require you to have any design or coding skills. By using one of their products, you won’t have to worry about finding a payment processor either! Everything from the URL to the design of the store can be customized within the platform. 
If you aren’t ready to launch a full e-commerce site, offer in-store or curb-side pick-ups on orders  
If you are open to conducting business in person, you could offer customers the option to stop by your location to pick-up an order they placed online, messaged you about on social media, etc. By scheduling individual pick-up times, you’re creating a one-on-one interaction for the consumer, eliminating stress around being exposed to a group of people. For added peace of mind, you can have your customers give you a call when they arrive, and your team can bring the order out to their car. 
Remember...
We are all in this together! Stay calm, and keep in mind that you, as a company, are not trying to profit off a difficult and sensitive time in our country’s history. Your efforts are about keeping your business flexible, nimble, and top of mind to emerge from an economic bump well-placed on the road ahead. 
Questions? Call, DM or email me at [email protected]. I’ll be here at my desk, computer-side, fielding questions. Be safe, be well!
