my poor formatting will never see the light of day..
hey, hey what's this...
so. so. uhhhh i finished the transcript. someone might've done this before me, i dunno. this was kinda on a whim.
anyways here it is. i mourn the formatting i bit, but didn't wanna share the document and you can't upload files here so you get a copy-pasted version instead.
i would say this sorta acts as my final farewell to the fandom, but i draw fanart for all the fandoms i've "left" from time to time, so who knows.

CHAT TRANSCRIPT OF THE DREAM SMP *EPILOGUE STREAMED ON JACK’S ACCOUNT, 10/27/2024
*Jack offhandedly stated that it was canon, but it is unclear if it really is. During the stream, Tommy also mentions that the nuke ending isn’t canon but Jack contradicts him.

[Communicating entirely through chat; they aren’t together in person. Jack is in the Las Nevadas casino.]

<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>

<JackManifoldTV>

[Tommy enters]
<JackManifoldTV>
i placed this block over the payment slot and now i can’t place bets
[Tommy breaks the button for the roulette wheel]
<JackManifoldTV>
put that back
[Tommy obliges.]
[From here on, they’re both typing at the same time, sometimes writing things out before reading the latest chat messages so text may seem to appear out of order. There may also be a couple pauses in between chats that are not indicated, as they aren't as long as others.]
<TommyInnit>
Wanna know where I’ve been?
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
oh, okay
[Jack goes back to gambling]
<TommyInnit>
Come with me

<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>

[They walk together.]
<TommyInnit>
It’s good to see you.
<JackManifoldTV>

<TommyInnit>
I’ve been here.
<JackManifoldTV>

in the bridge?
<TommyInnit>
Far out in the distance
That way
I have a house
It’s nice.
[...]
<TommyInnit>
I haven’t seen anyone for a loooong, long time.
Well, maybe Tubbo now and again.
<JackManifoldTV>

honestly i just steal money from the safes to gamble with
i could take it all if i wanted but the thrill keeps me in there
gamblers ambition they call it
one day i’ll win big
99% of people quit before then
not me
i’ll make it
it’s been years but it’s coming
<TommyInnit>
…
[Referring to how Jack stopped walking to type] You’re not good at catching up, are you?
<JackManifoldTV>
just telling you my story man
<TommyInnit>
never thought i’d be around these parts again
<JackManifoldTV>
me neither
<TommyInnit>
I moved far from here. Get away from it. [Likely meant “got away from it”.]
Brings back too much…
Joy, Fun. Sadness, Pain. Too much of it all.
but it’s nice to see a familiar face
<JackManifoldTV>
hey you too man! :)
<TommyInnit>
even if you did blow up my fucking hotel
[...]
<TommyInnit>
I don’t live around here.
<JackManifoldTV>
oh
thought that was where we were going??
<TommyInnit>
No, oh, god no
<JackManifoldTV>
oh
<TommyInnit>
Do you know how long it took for me to get back here?
[They stop in front of Techno and Phil’s cabin.]
<TommyInnit>
I come here a lot though.
<JackManifoldTV>
coupa hours?
<TommyInnit>
Well, more than the other places
<JackManifoldTV>
cool
quaint
i like it
maybe i’ll buy this place when i win big!
<TommyInnit>
This is Technoblade’s house
<JackManifoldTV>
maybe i won’t do that
[Tommy stares at him]
[...]
<JackManifoldTV>
o7
how long do you sit here like this usually?
<TommyInnit>
As long as I need to.
Sometimes a few minutes. Sometimes hours.
Mind if I ask you something?
<JackManifoldTV>
sure
hit me
<TommyInnit>
Do you ever…
Well, like, despite all the war, and the fighting, and the.. well.. the mess. How much it sent ME a fucking mess.
You ever miss those days? The people? Or, well, the way they were? The way it all was?
<JackManifoldTV>
sure
it was all a bit much at times
and i’m not sure i’d want to do it again
but i miss it sometimes
it was fun really
<TommyInnit>
Yeah… I wouldn’t do it again either haha
But…
I don’t know… I’ve tried to move on. My little cottage far away. My humble paradise. But that little thought trails into my mind…
<JackManifoldTV>
i think it probably trails into all our minds, wherever we all are
<TommyInnit>
Okay, phew.
<JackManifoldTV>
but we all have to move on and find our own destiny some time
<TommyInnit>
I’m glad it’s not just me
<JackManifoldTV>
and chasing the win keeps me happy
i like who i am now!
probably more than who i was
but that doesn’t mean he was bad
<TommyInnit>
You like being a gambler? Over an incompetent fight loser?
Well, I guess they’re not great options, are they
Sorry, that was harsh. I don’t see many people
Also, hey, you blew up my hotel
And me
<JackManifoldTV>
one of them means i may win some day. i was never gonna win back then
oh yeah i did
i think i blew everything up actually
my fault
<TommyInnit>
Luckily that wasn’t canon
<JackManifoldTV>
Well no i’d say it was
<TommyInnit>
I’ve still got my 1 life.
<JackManifoldTV>
I mean no one else is here anymore are they
<TommyInnit>
And I intend to use it the best way I can
<JackManifoldTV>
wdym??
<TommyInnit>
Well, 1 canon life
I was left with 1 when everyone went away
<JackManifoldTV>
yh yh yh but how do you wanna use it
<TommyInnit>
You know…
I’ve got not a clue
But I’ll figure that out later
<JackManifoldTV>
okay
you could come gamble with me
<TommyInnit>
For now. I’ve got my cottage. My new pet! Awh, she’s adorable. Mareep. She’s a little sheep I caught.
<JackManifoldTV>
i hear a big win is just around the corner
<TommyInnit>
I don’t want to gamble Jack
<JackManifoldTV>
oh..
okay
more for me!
<TommyInnit>
Yep
But yeah you know… things are OK for me. Tubbo and his fucking bee’s I’ll see too every now and then
<JackManifoldTV>
well this was nice
<TommyInnit>
He’s doing pretty well for himself
Selling all that fucking honey
<JackManifoldTV>
that’s good
i thought he exploded when i blew everything up
<TommyInnit>
I guess being the president of L’Manburg teaches you a few logistical things, ey?
<JackManifoldTV>
i can’t actually die i don’t think so i never know whether these things are bad for everyone else or not
<TommyInnit>
Not that either of us would know anything about that
Well…
<JackManifoldTV>
well..
<TommyInnit>
But I haven’t seen anyone else, besides Tubbo
I think I like it that way for now.
The quiet life.
<JackManifoldTV>
yeah you two are hard to separate
<TommyInnit>
TELL ME ABOUT IT
<JackManifoldTV>
quiet is nice
<TommyInnit>
It’s nice to see an old face though
<JackManifoldTV>
this is nice
<TommyInnit>
I know I said that before
But it really is
[...]
<TommyInnit>
Well, look, I can’t stay for long. I need to feed Mareep.
<JackManifoldTV>
yeah i got some places to see now i’m out
<TommyInnit>
I’ll be off soon.
Anything else you want to ask me?
I have no questions for you
<JackManifoldTV>
haven’t left in a while should probably go check on some things
are you happy?
i guess that’s all i’d care to know
<TommyInnit>
Getting there.
<JackManifoldTV>
nice
<TommyInnit>
Good to see you, jack.
<JackManifoldTV>
i’m glad for you
<TommyInnit>
Hope you get the big win.
<JackManifoldTV>
good to see you too tommy
<TommyInnit>
Oh and hey
<JackManifoldTV>
i will
<TommyInnit>
Don’t let anyone buy this house
<JackManifoldTV>
i won’t
when i win big there’ll be no money left HAHAHAHA
<TommyInnit>
I might not see you again
<JackManifoldTV>
that’s okay
<TommyInnit>
But I hope I hear about it if you win big.
So long J money
<JackManifoldTV>
i can deal with that knowing you’re happy :)
bye bye big T
[End.]
hey, hey what's this...
the fic where Techno and Phil are old immortals, and Tommy and his brother are decidedly not.
hey, hey what's this...
strobe lights
is this too obscure
wholeheartedly agree !! however !!!! i hope u don't mind me inserting one of my own headcanons here : Prime was a consistent source of comfort throughout his life. he stayed devoted throughout all the trauma he faced, clinging to his faith like a lifeline. it's all he has.
then he dies. and the hell he wakes up to does not align with whatever version of the afterlife the Church of Prime believed in. it's wrong. it feels like a punishment. but what did he do wrong ? he stayed faithful despite everything and didn't even expect anything in return. but, what, is he expected to live in this void forever ? it's called limbo, isn't it ? so when will it end ? why is this even happening to him ? he did everything right, didn't he ?
back when he was standing on that pillar, he thought about the warm embrace of his god, but was that selfish ? the thought seldom came to mind that he'd ever get some sort of reward for his faith, but he didn't expect to be punished.
and then he's pulled back, back to the land of the living with little more than some white in his hair to show for it. there are bruises, yes, but he has been beaten before. the bruises on his face don't –can't– account for staring the eternal void in the face with only the taunting voices of what could hardly be called a "host" of ghosts as company. he's kicked back to his normal life with a bloody nose, some white hair, and even more reservations about getting touched than before, all while his faith, his only constant, is in pieces. if all he's done wasn't enough for his god to even look at him, to even acknowledge him, to give him a sign, then does that change how he deals with everything in the future ?
anywayssss yes cTommy was a good religious boy and then he saw hell and it was empty so :]]
hot take or whatever but I don't think ctommy would have religious trauma. prime was, unarguably, a source of comfort for him through the entire story and never did his relationship with it take as drastic of a turn for it to give him trauma
and this isn't about headcanons btw this is about people using this (in my opinion incorrect) take in serious, canon Analisis
scrappy traumatized teenage blonds !!
to anyone making full-fledged illustrations for every single day of whatever tober you're participating in : you are a stronger soldier than i
chat i fear i will never get over c!Bench Trio. i didn't even watch the finale but the fact that they never got to properly heal is gonna make me explode
i drew c!Techno cause i miss drawing him and then later in the day i got sad then i remembered i drew c!Techno and got less sad when i looked at it. so. if you're seeing this i hope you are less sad now. uhm. it's nearly one am (12:59) so like. yeah.
GENUINELY GOING INSANE SGRGRKRKR
New challenge draw you and your mutuals’ current blorbos hanging out
Tommys is @skilatilu 's blorbo and Jon is mine
@aliveandrestless5 fhtn doodles from the last few months :] hope you like them! the motorbike actually killed me, i never want to see it again
I love to believe that Ghostbur and Friend are still together since both are gone.🌱
I really love how it turned out.
@aliveandrestless5 hello :D
i drew you a comic, however, like always, i lost steam right at the end and couldn’t bring myself to finish it. But i figured that you would’ve liked to see it anyways and i felt bad for letting a weeks worth of work go to waste. i hope you like it :)
@aliveandrestless5 GUESS WHO’S BACK >:D
I hope you’re doing well Matches! i give you some small doodles before i dump a comic onto you :)
the fics: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2301716
Demon, why do you file down your horns? It will change nothing, you will always be a monster.
He’s back and ready to commit multiple war crimes :)
Another doodle dump! most of these were drawn during class, the first doodles are for a fic, go read it, it’s really good! https://archiveofourown.org/works/28238295/chapters/69196854
Maths class was... boring, so I drew a lot of Snufkin.
I actually sat down and thought about character design for the first time in a while.
Tommy has more defining details that stray from the original skin because of plot points or things that happened in canon. Like his hair should have grown and how he survived an extremely close explosion and walked through the tundra with no shoes, meaning that he probably got frostbite and didn’t treat it immediately.
I gave Wilbur different pins and patches that Tommy sewed on because he made the cape and coat. His design doesn’t stray too far from the original because I couldn’t find plot points that may have effected his appearance.
“I’m proud of you...” I hope they get to heal and be a proper family.
The stream was amazing, I’m so glad that it ended with a happy ending and I’m glad Wilbur and Tommy actually had a proper conversation.
It’s that time folks
Happy November 16th to those who celebrate (loud sound)

Ok real quickly I wanna say as someone who really wasn’t a part of the DSMP community or technoblade community, it breaks my heart to see a good Minecraft YouTuber pass away after a long battle, I’m my heart goes out to all of those who cherished him, loved him, and inspired young and old ones to become YouTubers or context makers. “Technoblade never dies.” You will be missed and Cherished forever 🕊
