Isha’s Song

Hm. Au where Niki and Jack manage to take Tommy’s last life, and Tubbo, in his desperation to bring him back, is made vulnerable to a being he knows quite a bit about-considering it’s most well known follower laid claim to his second life.

The Blood God.

It offers him a deal-reviving Tommy, in exchange for becoming it’s follower. 

And Tubbo, Tubbo doesn’t want this. He doesn’t want to serve the bloodthirsty being who lives in most children’s nightmares. But he has tried everything else. He has tried every spell he can get his hands on, no matter how dangerous and painful to him. He has tried every artifact he has track down, every prayer he can utter.

This is the only option he has left. So he agrees, and as it takes his face between it’s hands, the world goes red.

Hours later, his vision clears. Tommy lays to the side, chest rising softly as his eye lids flutter open. Tubbo embraces him and cries.

And later that night, when his best friend is sleeping deep, safely tucked into bed, Tubbo weeps for a different reason. Tossed under his bed, a bloodied blade hums, satisfied with it’s first sacrifice.

Niki’s first life is taken in return for giving Tommy back his last. Her second one…well.

Blood for the Blood God.

—————————————————————————————————-

Includes Tubbo getting even more traumatized, in return for Tommy getting a break once in his life…y’know, until he learns about what’s been going on, but that’s not important.

Technoblade and Tubbo going from whatever-they-are-now to clashing-with-wildly-different-views-now-that-they’re-forced-to-interact to reluctant-mentor-and-apprentice-who-still-don’t-agree-with-each-other-but-have-bigger-problems-to-worry-about-including-protecting-their-respective-dear-ones to companions-who’ve-accepted-they-see-things-different-but-share-a-bond-forged-during-their-time-together-and-will-work-together-to-protect-those-they-care-about-and-and-trying-to-make-amends-for-the-past. 

Lots of Gods and such.

Tubbo delving more into rituals and spells as he integrates into the Blood God’s following.

Gardening, and spending time with the bees. The Blood God is as much about life as they are about death. If Tubbo’s willing to sacrifice a few jars of honey, and some flowers, well, they can be a little lenient on the bloodshed. 

Tension and forced bonding between the Sleepy Bois and Tubbo, more so after Tommy gets involved with it. There’s a lot of unaddressed issues between them all, but circumstances have thrown them together, and now they’re all gonna have to deal with it.

Niki’s on her last life, when she formerly had three. She’s also now terrified of Tubbo, and this might end up with her thinking Tommy’s corrupted him if she doesn’t take a step and look at things-which could end up a lot worse, with her deciding to bring them both down. 

Tension everywhere, really. Two of the people he genuinely trusted not to hurt any of them, one of which he invited into his safe haven, just took his best friend’s life. And now Tubbo’s got a craving for blood he doesn’t quite know what to do with. 

Tommy having another person to watch his back, and maybe having some side effects of being briefly dead and revived, and not noticing them. 

Basically pain and slow-burn found family forming again after a lot of bad things happened. Healing, and such. 

to give you guys some hope here are things i liked about s4 umbrella academy:

diego and luther having a silly little adventure and just being brothers

viktor finally getting closure with reggie

allison getting claire back!!

gene and jean being the coolest fucking characters of s4, truly they reminded me of s1 tua with their quirkiness

the light shed on viktor and ben's relationship - and how viktor was so adamant in helping ben

like... ben is literally in the same position viktor was in s1. feeling misunderstood by his family, alone, confused, not accepted, being feared of. and viktor understands this completely because he's been in this exact situation before. (they could have emphasized this better but-)

LILA GETTING HER FAMILY BACK!!!!

diego knowing punjabi because that's the native tongue of lila's family

luther being his usually, silly, himbo self ("i'm a professional dancer!!!!")

diego doing That Thing with the bullets

lila's laser eyes??? badass af

the weird subway thing and five's deli with all the different fives (council of wells much?)

klaus getting kidnapped in true klaus fashion... AGAIN 😌

and some other things i cant remember

How many of you know what Dress Up Niki is? Because I’m making a Dress Up Niki AU.

Tubbo:

A simple boy from Lilith, as far as the group is concerned. 

Prefers Warm and Pure styles. Typically with some sort of nature or animal theme.

His default outfit is a pale yellow sweater with three thick brown stripes, and scrunched sleeves, over a soft green button-up shirt that’s collar pokes out, brown shorts with green thread and a single bee embroidered onto each side, pale green socks, brown sneakers with green accents, a braided yellow/green bracelet with a bee charm, and a yellow and brown bee-themed backpack that he carries his stuff in.

There’s a strange bee plushie that he only uses in emergencies, style wise. It’s very soft, and smallish. It’s wings are gossamer, and it’s eyes are amber. Sometimes, it seems to move on it’s own, though nobody’s been able to prove it. Seems to have very potent Pure and Cute attributes.

Skills are Smile, Charming, Picky Immune, and Cinderella.

Tommy:

An orphan from Apple Federal who ran away and now is traveling the world.

Prefers Simple and Lively styles. Usually something sporty, and easy to move in.

Default outfit is a white long sleeve, a red short-sleeved hoodie, light brown cargo pants, red and white sneakers, white socks, brown fingerless gloves, and a brown satchel that holds his stuff.

One-third dark elf-one third forest elf, and otherwise human. Due to this, he can see easily in the dark, has more energy at night, overall has high magic stores, and is really good with animals. 

Feels a strange draw to Phil, though he can’t pinpoint why.

Skills are Picky Immune, Gift, Clock, and Charming.

Wilbur:

Hails from the Republic of Wasteland, Windvale Tribe. Having always longed to study the styles of other nations, he finally left to do so after an argument with his brother, Fundy.

Prefers Simple and Gorgeous styles. Usually something with an ‘old-fashioned’ flair.

Default outfit is a pin-striped button up shirt, with rolled up sleeves, brown trouser, suspenders, white socks, a pair of laced boots, an brown, yellow, and blue arm-band peeking out from under his shirt, and a golden bangle bracelet on his wrist. Carries a briefcase bag to hold his stuff.

Very good with music, and has an easier time directing magic through it. 

Always has his guitar on hand. It has very potent Lively and Gorgeous attributes.

Skills are Smile, Charming, Critical Eye, and Picky Immune.

Phil:

Comes from Cloud originally, but moved to the North Kingdom as a teen. Nowadays, he travels the world with Techno.

Prefers Elegant and Simple styles. His clothes will be influenced by the area, as he is a survivalist at heart.

Default outfit is dark green kimono top, with a red heart stitched into the breast, over a simple black shirt, black pants, sandals, a striped white and green hat, and a leather pouch around his waist that holds his items.

Part forest elf, and as such, has a pair of large bird wings on his back, which he uses to fly quite often.

Skills are Smile, Charming, Picky Bounce, and Sleeping. 

Technoblade:

Former general from the north, he went rogue and became a mercenary at seventeen.

Prefers Mature and Elegant styles. Regal, but not enough to hinder him in battle.

Default outfit is a white poet’s shirt, dark red sash around his waist, black pants, knee-high Cavalier boots, a dark red hooded cloak that reaches his knees, numerous golden accessories, a leather pouch attached to his thigh to hold his stuff, as well as a dagger beneath it, and a sword sheath at his hip.

Immune to the Curse of Blood, for reasons unknown-possible descendant of Nikki.

Skills are Charming, Critical Eye, Cinderella, and Gift Bounce.

Plot:

Prince Tobias is the third prince of Pigeon, after Prince Dream, and Prince Eret. As the eldest, Dream has taken the throne in wake of their mother’s passing.

Shortly before her death, the Queen gave her children each a special gift to aid them in the times to come.

Dream was granted a special mask, made of porcelain, and baring a simple smiley-face on it’s surface. The mask is enchanted, hiding the wearer’s emotions and weaknesses from everyone around them. Perfect for diplomacy.

Eret was given a coat, of deep red and golden thread. It granted it’s wearer confidence, drawing attention to them, and giving them the strength of leadership. Perfect for leading.

And Tobias was given a bee plushie, warm and soft, that gave it’s holder hope, and reminded them of memories of joy and childhood. Perfect for a boy who’d have to be a hero.

When Dream took the throne, he started changing. Acting colder, and more power hungry. Uncaring for his people. His siblings soon realized that the mask had become corrupted, not merely hiding emotions and weaknesses, but making them vanish all together, turning their brother into an unfeeling tyrant.

After failing to get the mask off of him, Tobias fled the kingdom, desperate to find the mask’s maker, or anything to tell him how to fix it and save his brother. Eret remained, determined to help the kingdom as much as they could, and do damage control. Though reluctant to allow her little brother out alone, he realized it would be safer out there than in the kingdom at the moment, and helped him flee.

Very few had seen Tobias’s face, due to the late queen’s insistence upon not dragging her children into kingdom affairs until they were of age, so it wasn’t too hard for him to vanish. Eret sent a family friend his way, Jordan Sparklez, who helped him into Lilith, and established a cover story.

Tubbo Sparklez, a Lilith student returning home after traveling abroad to learn more about himself, just as his father had.

He soon meets Tommy Innit, a runaway from Apple Federal.

Tommy had always been an easy target for the other kids. He was always a bit too loud for the caretakers, and annoying to the other children. Not to mention his strange habits. Needless to say, Tommy often found himself being blamed for things he didn’t do, and punished for them. At fourteen, he was fed up with it.

So he ran. Packed his few things and bolted. Eventually found himself in Lilith, where he quite literally crashed into Tubbo, and despite the rough start, the two became quick friends.

Though Tommy still planned to travel, he decided to relax for a bit, and hang out with his new friend. Those plans were thrown astray when Pigeon attacked the town, and the two fled together.

The terrifying experience led to them agreeing to stick together and protect each other. Tubbo confesses he was searching for something, because his brother was in trouble, and Tommy decided to help him out. After some deliberation, they decided to head to Cloud, hoping to find some clues there.

From there, they meet Wilbur Soot, and eventually, Philza and Techno. The three end up sticking with them, all soon wrapped up in a complicated adventure as Tubbo searches for a way to save his brother, and the rest of the group find themselves facing things about themselves they never knew, and learning where they belong in this vast world.

An AU in which Pomni escaped from the circus and began to lead a wild life with crocodiles.

AU where something happens due to Foolish’s revival, and the energy that goes out afterwards makes the whole server younger, the amount and full effect varying per person.

Philza gets straight up punted back to his Angel of Death days. Tommy and Ranboo turn into five year olds. Wilbur’s a young pre-teen again, Fundy’s just a year younger than him. Dream’s fifteen. 

Tubbo loses two years, Purpled loses one, and Techno loses fifteen. However, they’re the only ones with all of their memories, so they end up having to work together to keep their confused friends from dying or causing too much havoc. 

Schwarzwälder

Sauerkraut

laurae, a small Native farmer who built up her farm over the last five years, was served a 90-day eviction notice despite being promised by the landowner that she would be given a purchase agreement and the farm would never be sold to another person. Everything she has is in this farm - she’s put thousands of hours of work into it, built her cabin by hand, and invested every penny she’s made back into it. we are fighting to help her get the money to purchase her land before someone else buys it and kicks her - and us, her tenants who had no access to land without her help - off.

she ships her jams & honey, which you can buy here

you can also donate directly to the gofundme here

I know we’re all hurting right now and the world is fucked. but I love laurae and she’s done so much for all the people in her life. She has nowhere to go, no other options for a home, and no means to start over. she is a veteran, a survivor of multiple cancers, and close to fifty. all she wants is to live out her days on her farm till she hands it off to the next generation of farmers and I don’t want to see that simple thing taken away from her.

From the river to the sea,

New Splatoon lore just dropped

I'm loving Dungeon Meshi's mix of quasi-probable magical biological realism and "It's magic fuck you."

Red dragons swallow their prey whole and use the undigestible remains as fuel for their fire breath, which is lit by creating a spark with their tongue. Living armors are colonies of mollusks who expand and contract to mimic muscle movement. Actually "man-eating" plants is a misnomer, they catch small animals with a filament that retracts when touched and they use their decomposing prey as compost.

These mushrooms can turn you into a gnome. It's magic fuck you.
