so much of dsmp lore AND the fandom treated c!connor as an afterthought and the syndicate finale really just said "aw hell nah buddy your ass is coming with us" because the syndicate stays together

IT’S DONE!! 6 months, 20,000 stitches, and ~240 hours of work later and the syndicate cross stitch based on @valeriapryanikova pixel art piece (original can be found here) is finally complete!! You may have seen WIPs of this floating around but the whole thing is finally complete!!! I’m so happy with how it turned out. The colors presented a unique challenge and i had to invent most of them by blending threads. But I had a whole lot of fun stitching this :D

Techno getting annoyed with Tommy's rambunctiousness and big talk, so he decides to take him up on his fighting words and start an impromptu sparring session in order to tire Tommy out.

Pros: Success! Tommy is quiet now! Techno can go back to reading.

Cons: Tommy falls asleep in his lap and he can't move.

Pros: Tommy makes for a good arm rest. Perfect height to rest his book, actually.

Cons: Tommy has started snoring and since Techno is cozy, pig instincts have mistaken it for purring and elected to join in.

Cons: The Syndicate has showed up and they are teasing him. BAD. VERY BAD. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

Pros: Since they aren't trapped under a sleeping Tommy (impossible to move, trapped forever and ever), he can force his friends to get him stuff. Philza brings tea and Niki grabs some pastries she was making.

Pros: Magnolia tea helps people fall asleep, and now there is a cuddly nap pile.

Cons: Techno doesn't finish his book.

Pros: zzzzzzz

Syndicate halloween party!

feat: Philza the Zombie, Niki the Reaper, Techno the Vampire, Ranboo the Witch, Dream the witches Familiar.

In your AU, is there a slim chance that Techno felt annoyed that he's become less bigger in his human form ? Or maybe Dream had experience disappointment cuz Techno no longer... Y'know, Fluffy ? 🤣

I think with Techno's nature he's pretty go with the flow. It is annoying that his usual routine has been disrupted, and him being unable to bear hug his friends as usual has him feeling a little down, but over all I don't think he finds it too bad. Everyone's easier to grab and hug and he doesn't have to worry as much about hurting them by grabbing too hard. He does feel bad though that everyone's working hard to fix something he doesn't feel is a huge problem. (He'd like to turn back eventually - but this is a fun experience so far.)

For Dream though it's a little different. He feels bad that Techno's become human without his consent (and it’s his fault) and he thinks Techno's covering up how upset he is by the whole situation with humor. So he tries to make up for it by taking care of Techno. (He also does kind of miss how fluffy Techno was.) It takes a while before the two are on the same page 😅

I've finally decided to make a sequel to this post with the Sleepy Bois animal figurines

It's the Syndicate! They're having a picnic. Niki brought so much bread

[ID: A photo of four animal figurines dressed up like Dream SMP characters. Technoblade is a pig with a crown and a red cape with white trim, Philza is a crow with an Urahara bucket hat, Ranboo is a black and white cat with a crown and with green and red eyes, Niki is a grey and white stripy cat with a black and grey cape/poncho and a pink flower shaped button sewn on it. The figurines are on a wooden shelf with a red model cabin in the background. There's a Minecraft cake made out of clay between them. Next to Ranboo there's a grass block made of clay and model grass. behind Niki there's a mini basket full of tiny loaves of bread, some of which have spilled out.]

Also don't worry about the crimeboys, they're on their own adventure on the windowsill:

[ID: Wilbur and Tommy on the windowsill next to a candle. Wilbur is a wild boar with a yellow jumper and a guitar on his back. Tommy is a white chicken with a green scarf around his neck. Tommy's discs are leaning on the candleholder.]

Will I keep making more of these? idk, maybe? I'm having a lot of fun with this project tbh, and there are some very obvious ones I could do...

Heyyyyy @supernovaa-remnant here's my @dreblrsecretsanta gift for you!

I choose the prompt "c!rivals duo in a post-prison syndicate au" and it turns out so nice 💚 And great thanks for waiting, it was a pleasure to create this thing!

PS closeups below

Niki close-up too, because Christmas pudding looks very cute tho!

And again, thanks for the waiting, I have a fever heat rn so I'm glad I finished this even tho it's not quite as I expected.

And happy new year, wishing all best for you!

read the second part here

I tried to find the best time to post this for a while but I think if I keep trying to find the right time I’d stop liking my art and eventually won’t post it at all

To get into the festive spirits, Technoblade thought it would be fitting to call a Syndicate meeting and have all of them eat cake, have some fun.

Problem? He has never made a cake.

A propper one. Not just the rushed kind you bake just to prove your student's power.

It took him so long. And several comments from chat swearing he mistook sugar for salt.

Finally it was done. It was glorious. First try perfect cake (it was, in fact, the second try). It took an hour, if not more.

When everyone arrived to the Arctic Anarchist Commune he invited them to his humble so that he could show them the treat he made.

Steve was eating the cake. The cake was knocked onto the floor. Steve was eating the cake that was knocked onto the floor.

Steve was kicked out of the Syndicate. So long, Harpocrates. You were a fine member.

This is my gift for @oakworthyt4t in the @technoblade-gift-exchange! Hope you like it <3
