if the dsmp was a stageplay, during retirement techno joins the stage crew. he sheds the bulky parts of his costume and you can see him moving things about in the background. hes not involved in whats goin on onstage hes doing his own thing. really emphasising that he isnt part of this narrative anymore hes kept goodon his word hes stepped outside the conflict and is leaving everyone alone. hes still part of the world but not in the same way. and then the butcher army dragging him back onstage when he least expects it, pulling him from his place inthe shadows back into the spotlight and its so clear he hasnt been part of the play for a while yet theyre persecuting him as if he has.

I thought I'd share my c!Technoblade playlist

happy birthday technoblade, thanks for being such an inspiration forever and always <3

the syndicate but with a sticker chart.

hear me out hear me out okay? cniki gets a sticker sheet of gold stars and starts handing them out at syndicate meetings as a bit of a joke but phil and techno especially just go absolutely feral for the gold shiny thing that means theyve done well. ranboo loves them too hes just not fistfighting anyone to physically acquire a sticker.

niki starts handing out the stickers for actual reasons when the others have done something good/well. like ranboo gets a sticker for practicing his breathing exercises, phil gets one because he went to bed before passing out from exhaustion, and techno gets one for killing a man.

the three of them start trying to get as many stickers as possible, theyre all ridiculously competitve and thus they actually do the things on the list of ‘things that earn a gold star’ and they do them properly because then they can get more gold stars.

they start a sticker chart to organise it all because at least one fight has broken out about who has the most stickers (ranboo is the only one who properly knows because he’s been writing it down in his diary) (he also has a whole page dedicated to his own gold stars). niki makes the chart for the three of them, and doesnt see much point in putting herself on the chart.

the boreal bois, though, immediately protest this and maker her her own row on the chart with another piece of paper tacked up the top of the chart and her name written a little wobbly (phil did the honours). none of them have any gold stars to put in her row but that doesnt discourage them.

phil sticks a small feather on because niki gave him a sticker, ranboo digs around in his basement and finds some holographic, garishly coloured love heart stickers (there was also a sheet of smiley faces, he throws those ones out) and puts two of them on niki’s row because she was the one to teach him the breathing exercises, and techno smudges a bit of leftover blood from the aforementioned killed man onto the paper and refuses to elaborate.

connor gets a row on the sticker sheet when he joins too, but he fills his up on his own almost immediately with both sonic stickers, and letters which he uses to spell mostly swear words with.

in short, niki has managed to bribe two centuries old war lords and an anxious enderman into self care with only a sheet of shiny gold stickers

thinking about how ctechno mustve felt being cast aside so quickly the moment manburg went down. thinking about how he mustve felt to see all these people hes helped and fought for betray him to his face with a smile. thinking about how even when he was wracked with anger and fear and sadness all anyone could see was a threat, a danger, a weapon now pointed at the ‘wrong’ target. thinking about how much it mustve hurt him to have to fight those he thought he trusted and thought who trusted him. thinking about what pogtopia and nov 16th did to ctechno and how no one but cphil cared at all. how no one but cphil saw anything but a weapon.

holy shit i look SO SICK

comparisons from last year under the cut trust me i GLOWED UP BIGTIME

reblogs r much appreciated <33

so for uh. Reasons (adhd go brr) i have been reading about biological immunity and how different animals can be biologically immune. and for Reasons (again, adhd go brr) of course i have to blorboify my newfound knowledge.

did you know there’s a type of jellyfish called the immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) that’s biologically immortal? through a funky little process called transdifferentiation, these jellyfish essentially revert back to a juvenile form when overly stressed, hurt, or old (im simplifying it a lot okay im an english major not a biologist).

cphil. he is immortal but we know he can still, theoretically, die. he’s biologically immortal, so what if he works like this one funky wee jellyfish that is also biologically immortal? it doesnt happen often but just imagine, cphil turning back into a child when the time is right.

cphil is near fatally wounded in battle. techno carries him home and does what he can but it’s bad. phil assures him he’ll be fine, and techno really does try to believe him. phil’s lived this long after all so he should trust him.

he trusts him, but when he wakes up to a fluffy feathered blond kid who doesnt even come up to his waist, this was not what techno expected when phil said he’d be fine.

its not reversible. techno now has to live with kidza, and if he thought phil was chaotic before, it is nothing compared to now.

i am so normal about the boreal bois tonight you have no fucking idea

i just. them yknow?

three people with little other places to go, three people who’re trying to escape the binary good and bad that others are forcing onto them, three people who just want to be left alone and for the people they care about to be safe.

when phil offered ranboo a place to stay so casually, god, top 5 dsmp moments ever. he saw this scared, lost child and just. took him in. didnt make a big deal out of it, but he took him under his wing and gave him the safety and security and net to fall back on that he’d lacked.

and techno did the same, he may have been more gruff about it but he gave him resources, he let him build, he came to check on him to make sure he was alright. he cared. he layed his life on the line for him without question, and there is only one other person techno does that for and its phil. he layed his life down because he knew ranboo would do the same for him.

ranboo, trying so hard to be ‘deserving’ of this care, trying so hard to pay it back. not realising no matter what, he’s getting the kindness of two people who tend to give that away very rarely. he doesnt have to repay anything, he can just... be. he doesnt have to try to prove anything, existing is enough.

and just. the headcannons. the quiet moments.

ranboo being gifted a matching cloak, a crest he doesn’t really recognise and a history lesson that sounds much more like a personal story than anything else. techno refusing to admit he cares about ranboo, phil knowing it anyways. ranboo scared to open up but being met with nothing but endless kindness when he does. the little family they become, out in the arctic, out with only the dogs and the foxes and the bears and each other to keep them company.
