Welcome to how I choose to cope with the Twitter apocalypse: making more Steve Saga fan content instead of catching up with Rainbow Quest.

Inspired by the Twittypets and zzoupz’ Twitblr chronicles, I wanted to do a Steve Saga take on the Tumblr x Twitter lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers story. I call it the Hellsite Steves AU.

Keep reading if you’re actually interested in the lore of the AU.

This AU centers around two ambitious Blue Steves. While they lived happy lives among the Steves and found love in each other, they both aspired to create a safe haven where Steves could be fandom trash in peace. They managed to create that safe space; they called it Tumblr Town. One member of the duo renamed himself to Tumblr Steve, becoming the life force of the Town.

They made so many great memories and had so much fun in the Town. But as the years went by and Tumblr Town started dealing with more problems, the two Steves started to have disagreements. Tumblr Steve’s partner - pessimistic about the longevity of Tumblr Town - took some time away and discovered a new area, and he saw the potential to create a new fandom space. He declared the land Twitter Town, renamed himself Twitter Steve, and broke up with Tumblr Steve. Twitter Steve took his loyal followers to Twitter Town and they started a new life there, assuming that Tumblr Town would eventually die off.

Tumblr Steve tried his best to lead Tumblr Town on his own. Eventually, through a lot of studying and reflecting, he became an Elder Blue, which darkened his color palette and gave him more power. It wasn’t enough to keep his Town strong, but it eventually led to a cultural renaissance that gave the Town new life. Twitter Town and Tumblr Town exchanged resources and words sometimes. But other than that, Twitter Steve kept Tumblr Town and his ex out of his mind.

That is, until one day, Twitter Steve was overthrown, and Twitter Town immediately fell into ruins. Imposters and hatred terrorized the Town. Some of its citizens were barred from entering the Town’s walls, when its protective barrier called the 2FA system started experiencing issues. Twitter Steve tried to reclaim his Town, but ended up getting exiled by the new leader. And with the Town falling apart, Twitter Steve started glitching out, since his life force was tied to the Town.

Twitter Steve tried to find a new home for him and his followers, but other kingdoms and towns didn’t meet their needs. Then, Twitter Steve had to swallow his pride and reach out to the place he never wanted to return to: Tumblr Town.

Tumblr Steve is full of mixed emotions when he sees his ex again, looking worse than before. They have both changed a lot; they feel like strangers to each other. Will Tumblr Steve welcome Twitter Steve back home? Or is it too late to repair their old relationship?

Gah, I spend way too long on this, and the sensible part of me regrets it. Sabre, if you find this, I am so sorry.
