7-year-old cTommy not understanding why his father and older brother leave for prolonged periods of time. It used to be two to three weeks, but as cTechno grew older, the longer it took for Tommy to be able to see his favorite brother. And unfortunately for him, no one told him about the voices that plagued Techno’s mind at all hours of the day.
They’re home once more, Phil shooing off Tommy outside for peace and quiet, and Techno giving him small trinkets he picked up, along with a promise to let Tommy braid his hair later. Tommy, being the good little brother he is, goes to pick his brother’s favorite flowers, only to come back to Techno a snarling mess, lashing out at anyone who comes near him.
Tommy doesn’t understand what’s going on nor why his father and other brother are looking at Techno like a monster; all he sees is his big brother in pain and confusion. He approaches slowly, flowers held out with a shaky smile, and Techno looks at him, slowly reaching his hand out.
The tear of flesh like paper, and Tommy is screaming whether from the pain of the wound or being yanked back so violently away from Techno. Techno, blinking in confusion, looks down to the blood now coating his hand and then to his injured little brother struggling to get back to him.
Phil and Techno are gone the next morning.
-It wasn’t until Pogtopia that Tommy saw Techno again, leaning against the man’s shoulder as he spoke of the places he went, the things he learned. How somehow the blood of his sounder is able to pull him back, not quite distinguish the voices, but calms them. It’s quiet after that, Tommy telling Techno it was never his fault and he never blamed him. Techno holds him closer but doesn’t answer.
-It’s exile and for some reason Techno was helping Tommy, though he had no reason to. His brother doesn’t care, he knows this, yet he loves Techno too much to let him go as easily as he was. It slipped out by accident, what Dream did, how he deserved it, the meaning of the Tower Techno had found him beside. And for some reason that made Techno angry, and Tommy could see how quickly he was losing himself.
It shouldn’t work, Techno didn’t think of him as family anymore, but it was worth a try. Digging his nails into arm, he breaks open the stitches, letting the blood run freely. And it worked. He could see the cloudiness leaving Techno’s eyes, how he rushed over to Tommy’s side.
Techno was flinging insults at him, but Tommy couldn’t care less. Techno still thought of him as a brother, he still loved him. Tommy went to sleep that night with a smile on his face and a weight lifted off his shoulders.
-Tommy had fucked up big time. He probably should have gotten Phil, but he just had to play the hero. He had never seen Techno so bad before, even the blood from the wound in Tommy’s shoulder hardly phased him. Maybe it was because their bond was so frayed Techno needed more.
So, he provoked him. As Techno attacked, he met him halfway. Despite the sword that was ran through him, the snow turning pink under his feet, he threw his arms around Techno’s neck, pulling his face down so their foreheads touched and their eyes met.
It wasn’t working. Still, Tommy muttered reassurances to him. To come back to him, fight it, that he was stronger than this. To not be afraid because his little brother was there to make it all better like always. That ‘I love you, Techie.’
But Techno didn’t love him enough anymore for the voices to be quelled. And that was okay, Tommy understood. At least he tried, one last time. With that thought, he let himself fall.
-It was cold when Techno woke up. He had gotten angry, he wasn’t even sure for, but he didn’t want help this time. He wanted to feel blood on his hands and he didn’t care whose it was. But now he needed to get home. He needed…Tommy. The boy’s name was nothing more than a whisper on his lips. His baby brother, his runt, his family, looking so small curled up like that, almost as if he was asleep and Techno could pick him up and tuck him under the covers.
But he knew what death looked like. Especially when he was the one that caused it. Techno could fight a thousand men in one go to protect his little brother, but this, this was a battle Techno couldn’t win. This time, Techno couldn’t be the hero in Tommy’s story.
And for the first time in his life, the voices where completely silent.
this is (mostly) a joke, but also I worked really hard on this
The magic system & pantheons in Judgement and Apotheosis are identical down to the 'cycle of aether' reincarnation system appearing in BOTH, to the point that the players themselves are theorising that it's the same universe. BUT judgement HAS to happen first, because there are still gods and ppl are still aware that usurping the gods is a thing that can be done (Zuen confesses to erasing that from the collective consciousness).
In Apotheosis, Ludite is a magical crystal-like material that rained down from the sky when the celestial realm was destroyed. It allowed mortals, for the first time in history, to wield magic without having to be 'chosen' by the gods. What's also a magic rock? Wonderous Coal.
The very top of the mountain of wonder is directly connected to Prime, as well as many other realms that seem to be converging. Alystr Cross also lives in Wonder (while I'm inclined to believe this is a different version of him, he does reference prime and heroism in a way that to me is meant to imply this is the same Professor Cross from PD). Another character from Convergence that appears in a different campaign is Kasper (referred to as Mr Kass). He travels the multiverse with this pocket-dimension that the carnival is.
We also know that Riptide is connected to Wonderlust - a pirate world does make a brief appearance - and is thus also connected to Prime Defenders. But as further support, I'd refer to the two non-canon what-if crossovers.
Another character from a different campaign also makes an appearance in Riptide; Green is clearly meant to be an older Taxi (Green Needle is was his tabaxi name in fated). Wild theory, but hear me out: the world of Mana in Riptide is the same Mana from Fated, in a timeline where Ungarou won and flooded the world (or at least was defeated after large parts of the land were already lost beneath the tides).
Now that is SEVEN campaigns that I can red-string together through explicit cross-over happening.
I could also connect PD to The Suckening through the taxi driver that Arthur meets who Charlie gives a similar voice to William Wisp, and say that he was that universe's version of him. From there I could say that BITB and TS could feasibly exist in the same universe, on the merit that they are other-wise 'our world' settings, and BITB's story is self-contained to Galloway. There's nothing saying that they couldn't take place in the same universe.
This Bandit works alone, but Valentine’s Day is cute and I’ve been watching apotheosis so yk
Natural progression and whatnot
My dsmp community got approved so if anyone wants in lemme know and I'll add ya! There's 500 slots total
Sixteenth Day Event Prompt:
Tubbo begins a new job
So I decided to participate in this little project/anniversary type of thingy which I’m really glad to do! (I have been dealing with art block for so long it’s not even funny 😭😭)
Anywhizzle I decided to just ignore the canon nuke ending like most because 1. I wasn’t a huge fan of it with c!Dream’s “I just wanted a friend 😔” and stuff and B. I actually didn’t watch that whole stream either, so season 1 is the only season in my eyes :3.
So, y’know how Tubbo technically invented science and stuff with the Nukes and all? Well I went with that after the dsmp, Tubbo decided to start building other devices and technology. This made him start to create prosthetic limbs and such since he understands in a way with missing an arm or something like that. (Idk I just headcanon that he lost his hand from the firework because he tried to protect himself from the execution. I’m not great with words so sorry it it sounds like shit)
BUT YEAH he be using his engineering skills and knowledge to build things that could help people and shit :3
I just finished Blood in the Bayou and holy shit…
I CRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TIMES ESPECIALLY FROM EPISODE 2 AND 4 ITS TERRIBLE
The reveals were bat shit insane personally, I finished episode 2 during class and I was not having a good time.
Overall I love it and also I hope the council fucking dies from bugs /silly/hj
Episode 2 was a fever dream that made me laugh and break down crying, same with episode 3 and episode 4 too
Episode one was nice-ish though there was more fun stuff than horrors in my opinion but it was leading up to the horrors.
The only reason why I decided to watch/listen to Blood in the Bayou was because I was listening to the OST, specifically You’ve Changed, and my friend Enlee decided to give some links up so I could listen to it and goddamn was it the best decision I made
I’m also really glad that Cheri solar-cheri did a whole thing for the trigger warnings for not just bitb but ALL of the other campaigns
THANK YOU CAPTAIN ENLEE AND CHERI FOR OPENING MY EYES TO THE BUG RELATED HORRORS THAT THE ‘80S HAD :D
