YES I’VE READ THIS FANFIC 

Northern Ballad by Andrey Vinogradov

little bit of a comic i wanna dooooooo hehe

List of things that sparked joy in my little Ancient culture enthusiast heart:

The moths in the Ancient Urban are essentially pigeons, including the fact some of them are tagged.

Finally a proper and canon confirmation that Ancients really did have pets, positive relationships with animals and weren't Only stuck in glass cubes on display like Moon implies once. It can also mean that they did research into animal behaviour, such as tracking migrating and such. From how biologists are in real life, we can assume they were even genuinely passionate & happy about these type of things.

All the pottery and plates in that workshop room,

A confirmation that they did have paper and used scrolls for writing stuff down,

alongside with the pearls that they, too, could perhaps freely read or one of those things on the shelf there might be a pearl reader, if it is more technologically based (CDs type information keeping)

I also wonder if those things there are books- with stone tablet pages or paper ones? digital things hidden in hardcovers?- or something else entirely. Do they maybe hold orders for earthenware?

The masks on the wall, they feel so real compared to the murals.

Are they of the same person or is it of the workers there or maybe a family? Some of them look similar to those in the murals.

While at the concept of family, they had creches, but it doesn't sound like it was an outright job in the sense that they seem to have been community-raised (I fuckin' knew it I can put down my tin hat now).

They had hard beds, similar to what used to be used in old china iirc, along with that pillow/headrest

This kinda thing. They were made out of porcelain to keep the head cool in the night, but I think some where out of wood too.

The bustling of the city.

The normalcy of people going about their day, talking, the vehicles zipping by (they had some kind of motor vehicles!!!!).

The architecture, in both the Ancient Urban and the Outer Rim (those roofs made the right side worth it to me, that's how much I love these bastards)

I find it very funny that what looks to me like a REALLY poor ass cable management seems like the height of decorative prowess to them. Also some insight into how the void ,,bath" actually looked like.

The toys... just the toys.

Alongside these dialogues

And the one about him remembering the halls he ran through- oh when I say that I adore the fact that this Echo is a kid stuck here, lonely and vulnerable with polite speech not plaguing it.

The original Echoes combined with the Iterators' distaste for the species as whole painted the Ancients as these heartless things lazer focused only on the Ascension, religion and rituals. There wasn't much space for thinking about them in a more human manner and I feel like most of the fandom did depict the Ancients only as the impression was given. Bunch of posh full of themselves suckups, uncaring much for one another or anything around them.

I get kinda annoyed when there's an insistance that some kind of sapient species has done only bad. With humans, too, I just about had it with the demonization, negativity and staggering blindness to the beauty and good we can and do create- in both fiction and reality. Same goes for these dumbasses.

Disko kid here begs to challenge that impression. He's lost and alone and kind of scared, stuck here not knowing how to move forward. He mourns the regularity and simplicity of his room, the nostalgia of shelves and toys, the golden sunrays sneaking in through the windows. He brings a certain humanity into the consideration of Ancients.

That maybe, only maybe.. they deserve to be mourned.

AN IDEA POPPED INTO MY HEAD AFTER RANBOO VISITED DREAM

What if Ranboo kills Dream.

I know that sounds weird considering the guy has the backbone of a chocolate eclair but what if him hearing voices because far too much. And with Dream being the focus of his hallucinations, he just snaps and attacks him out of no where.

So like let me set a scene for y’all.

Dream basically goes a little insane inside his cell, not in a murderous way but a kinda broken way. Barely speaking during visits, starring at the clock and walking into the lava more and more. So Sam or Tommy suggest taking him out for a day on good behaviour.

Dream gets to come out of his cell and walk around the smp for a day but only if he’s accompanied by guards and volunteers. So Tommy, Tubbo, Sam, Quackity and others (Bad and Antfrost depending on the whole egg stuff) are there following Dream around telling him about everything that’s going on with the smp. But near the end of the day Dream asks if they can go to a place that’s quite and stuff so he can just appreciate the small things he doesn’t have in prison.

When they get there Dream sits a fair few paces ahead of everyone just looking at the land while the others chat amongst themselves. After a couple minutes Ranboo walks over to everyone without noticing Dream (he had no idea he was outside) and asks what’s going on.

Half way through Sam’s explanation, Ranboo notices Dream and can’t look away from him. From Ranboo’s point of view everything goes black but Dream and he starts to hear the voice yelling at him, getting louder and louder with each sentence. But in reality Dream is still vibing in his own little world.

Anyways Ranboo starts to get really really stressed and overwhelmed, making wonder man noises and shaking. The voice screams one last thing at him (somthing among the lines of traitor or psycho?) which causes Ranboo to snap and push past everyone towards Dream.

He starts shouting at him to get out of his head while the voice starts to whisper insults getting harsher the closer he gets. Dream meanwhile is like wtf is going on and stands up, putting his hands in the air trying to show that he’s peaceful. But because Dream wears a mask and you can’t see his mouth Ranboo thinks that Dream is actually saying it all to him.

This leads to Ranboo breaking to a new level and straight up slashing down with his sword, striking Dream in the face and torso. This of course kills him in one swing because he’s got no armour what’s so ever. So it’s already too late by the time the others run over to try and save him.

Everyone starts shouting, trying to understand wtf just happened while Dream leaves the game... then enters DreamXD.

Boom bam everyone is even more confused to see him (He’s confirmed to be a separate entity to Dream). Everyone shuts up when he teleports to the exact spot Dream died and begins to build a grave/momoral for him, placing his now broken mask into a item frame next to the grave stone. Once he’s done he turns around and faces Ranboo, who is currently distraught that he’s murdered someone, and just says:

DreamXD: It’s okay... it was about time he paid for his wrong doings...

Ranboo: I- I don’t know why I did that. I didn’t mean to, I didn’t want to-

DreamXD: I know.

DreamXD: This was unavoidable...

DreamXD: I suggest you check spawn...

Dream joined the game

DreamXD left the game.

End scene

Should I write this into a proper fanfic? Maybe? Idk, if anyone wants this turned into a proper fic I’ll write it up, or if anyone wants to write it themselves you are more than welcome but please credit me. I will more than likely be posting a comic of this (I already have it sketched out lol).

Edit: For anyone who whats to a fic of this I’m in the process of writing the first chapter. Part of it’s already posted over on AO3. It’s called Drowning in regret.
