dsmp headcanons that u DO rock with? 🤔

oh absolutely

-c!wil being oblivion the same way c!kristin is death

-the characters not being the same age as their ccs (kinda canon)

-alien/cosmic entity c!karl

-demon c!sap

-shapeshifter c!Q but i still prefer human

-mermaid sally! all the designs i’ve seen are wonderful

-goat c!tubs, i like the idea of him and c!schlatt being the same species to mirror c!crime both being human

-c!sap being an addict (kinda canon)

-the viewers and their corresponding fanbases being residents in their faction and whatnot (also kinda canon with techno and phils chat)

-c!tina being a demon disguised as a catgirl

-c!puffy being c!drms guardian as a kid, pirate mentality

-exile being ~3 months during winter and doomsday being the beginning of spring

-c!punz amulet being his life force and the egg corrupted it rather than him

-c!karl being lost in time and that’s why the world ended

You're so right abt c!sbi not being family. Like there are combos I can believe but tommy and techno are not phils kids - it would makes zero sense given their canon dynamics, with technos storyline and relationship w phil and tommy is just too orphan no parents coded.

To me fanon cbedrockbros also is not real but also i do believe techno cared about tommy in a vague way or had the potential to if they'd had more time together - both of them felt equally betrayed by the other in a way that felt deeply personal, even though they were both doing what they always said they would do and following their own worldviews. Like I dont think bedrockbros would have happened ever in dsmp bc of their diametrically opposed worldviews and values but the seed of something was there.

In general tho, i think techno saw tommy more as a symbol/ someone who inspires change and helped tommy bc of his ideals more than out of care. I don't think tommy ever understood techno, and sought him out bc he was the one person who does not bow to dream and has the power to back it up.

I could talk about these two forever they captivate me and i was gonna keep going but u dont need any more of an essay in ur asks. Hope I'm not coming across as complaining u just inspired this thought in me !! mwah love ur art

i agree, i think both techno the guy and the character being erudite warped their perception of c!tommy in order to make him the “hero” of dsmp. c!techno wanted ctommy to do away with his materialism and reliance on government in favor of anarchy. his expectation of a hero is defined by players like cphil who can make difficult decisions like killing his son in the name of progress and distorting his legacy for the sake of his own ideals. ctommy is sentimental, as stated 400 million times, the discs have no real value outside of the designation of being important. he’s also materialistic despite being stripped of his property over and over again, which ctechno interprets as strength on tommy’s part because he’s able to keep getting up after losing everything

c!techno is NOT an antagonist the same way cdream and cpunz are, he’s depicted as a force of nature, an ideal, that demands respect. his grievances with ctoms comes from taking more than he can repay and being the subject of objectification, highlight “the blade”. in a traditional story, ctoms would take what he’s learned from techno and apply it to his values, but he subverted tech and used his assets to (try to) reinstate a government in the form of new lmanburg

toms recognized techno as one of the few people who could do what he does to drm without facing intense repercussions or abuse. exile was one of the first times toms was truly alone, throughout the entire series, he’d been facing adversity with ctubs or cwil by his side. he was desperate for comradery and happened to find it in the Giant Pig Beast of the Snowy North which is why i think ctechno decides to help him. he wants to play a part in molding tommy into a hero but he has no real desire to offer friendship because 1. he doesn’t befriend people he doesn’t respect and 2. he doesn’t have the same attachments as toms and fundamentally can’t understand him. ctommy is arrogant, rude, and desperate without the power to back it up, a nuisance and liability in ctechnos eyes, and he doesn’t view lmanburg as a government, but as an ideal community where he was supposed to be safe and flourish

their relationship was imbalanced, c!tommy needed empathy and hospitality as a victim and c!techno expected respect and humility from a student

[witheringheights]

just realised i never posted this here...........strawp request from last year :-3

[chjroptera]

Is there any popular headcanons within the DSMP fandom that you dont necessarily see or agree with?

LOOOOLLLLLL

DESIGN HCS I HATE kinda

blaze hybrid csapnap. none of the designs are good my bad!

cquackity having wings ive lowkey come around to it but hes just a human to me man

cdream being anything but human myyyyyyyy bad!!! dont rlly like the goat ones either :X they make no sense

blonde c!tubbo is aryan propaganda

okay the actual hate in my heart

c!sbi being a family has never ever ever ever made sense and anyone who pushed that shit was a delusional casual (c!tom is an orphan yes, c!wil is phils kid, c!techno old as shit as fuck like mike ehrmantraut old)

C!bedrock bros is NOT REAL c!techno didnt care abt c!toms at Allllll

c!dream being a dreamon is so fucking gay my BADDDDD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 its such cope and its only used for woob points its soooo gay

c!punz actually being in love w cd their relationship should be transactional as fuck and thats what makes it good in the first place

c!niki and c!wilbr are not at all close in age to me

i think soulmates should be super rare and the only soulmate pairs should be c!kn and C!clingy

sanrio shopping!

how do u feel about a scorching absolutely soul-sucking hot logstedshire headcanon 🤔 canonically i understand exile took place during christmas/december and therefore winter, and i’m sure during the streams tommy probably made comments in character about it being cold (not sure though i haven’t rewatched those streams in years). but i always imagined a weird australian adjacent version of the dream smp where exile island was just so incredibly hot. like there’s just a different type of despair that hot weather gives to me than freezing weather in a time of deep turmoil that ctommy was going through. it almost feels more oppressive to me than freezing your rocks off, at least you could create some shitty makeshift leaf or grass blanket and i like to imagine ctommy eventually became crafty by force during those times. you can't escape the heat

i can rock with it since grassy beach areas like logsted are usually pretty hot during the day but i’m eternally bound to winter exile, i live for all the weird weather conventions in dsmp like las nevadas having snow

Yeo im getting into dsmp and watched a decent amount of the videos do you have any suggestions of videos I should watch or who to watch first lowk just anything

my fav dsmp arc is prolly the el rapids saga so tap in, it’s the best way to get into the nitty gritty of c!Qs character before he got nuetered for ad revenue

[chjroptera]

I need you to know your art is actually so amazing, it’s influenced a lot of how I’ve been drawing, I’ve been trying to study the things you do because it’s all great!! Your face and body shapes and eveeything, I am very tired I cannot actually tell you all my thoughts other than you have a delightful way of drawing

thank you so much!! if you’d like any explanations or breakdowns of my process i’m down to post some, it helps me understand my own approach/decision making too LOL

[chjroptera]

I’m not the one who asked but horns duo is like tubbo and schlatt I think…. cause some people make schlatt his dad and give schlatt horns like tubbo. But yes clingyduo on top

oh yea clingy still wipes, schlatt and tubbo the dudes also have amazing chemistry together the whole manberg cabinet dynamic was golden

i used to like the schdad thing but it’s wayyyy better if they’re unrelated, makes schlatts character way more sadistic imo too

[chjroptera]

it’s actually laughable that there were individuals who preferred c!beeduo over c!clingy in 2021 like genuinely i dont really care about dsmp shipping but clingy were lowkey more romantic than anything beeduo had going on

no seriously i know rb and tb dated and that made all the lonely little 12 year olds latch onto them but their content/content wasn’t nearly as entertaining or fun as clingys stuff also bnchtrio agenda is/forever will be forced to me

i actually do like romantic cclingy too i just never talk abt it LOL. i think my fav dsmp ships aside from ksq are clingy and tannah, puffychu could’ve been legendary if puffy was actually down to clown

[chjroptera]

Any opinions on the new qsmp?

nope i was never into qsmp or krmlnd, i’ve seen some clips of Q katie and schlatt they seem like a fun trio

[chjroptera]

c!Clingyduo or c!Hornsduo?

girl i dont even know what hornsduo is when i looked that shit up, 3 different duos are being pitched and none of them even come remotely close to cclingy its clingy against anything that isnt ksq dn or kn for me

[chjroptera]

ctommy being the person who tells both cquackity and csapnap they’re cschlatt and cdreams bitches respectfully #InjectIt

what's your opinion on c!sapnap's very brief involvement in exile? he doesnt do much but he is complicit in c!tommy's abuse and since ur the c!sapnap guy i wonder what's opinion on this? (no pressure to not answer)

holy shit i actually didn’t see this till now but i love thinking abt this esp bc petduo 🤍

his involvement is very brief but gives great insight on why cS detaches himself from cD and determines what cD defines as “friendship” (which i think is one of the more lowkey elements of his characterization)

cGeorge was dethroned the day before cTommy got exiled so cDream could have cEret back as a puppet ruler with his reasoning being to protect cG. cD’s fixation with control surpasses his respect for his friends, he’s also very territorial and uses this as a mask for his more questionable motivations by saying it’s either for the good of everyone or for the protection of his friends/team. cS calls his out as bullshit since he’d already heard cD say he “doesn’t care about anything [on the server]”, taking it very literally and insists cD verbally say he doesn’t care about him and cG

cS is goading him here, he knows cD is both a selfish person and a people pleaser who needs people like cDT to defend and love him as he is. cDT worked well together because they were shitty people protecting each other, a family with roles. cD affirms he doesn’t hate them but the seeds of doubt had already been planted and cQuackity was there to witness ALL of this and it’s no surprise el rapids was established like 2 days later

i also want to point out that cD says something along the lines of “i’ll have spnp and pnz patrolling the walls” during the same speech which i think was a call to action for cS bc afterwards he asks cT’s opinion and is called cDs bitch. also gonna be crazyy for a second and say that i think masculinity is a very underrated theme in the DSMP and c!drmnp have one of the most interesting dynamics when you look at their relationship in the context. cS is a knight, he’s defined by that role. he’s not just cGs but cDs as well, he perceives himself as a protector and a source of strength to DT or cKarl. but from cTs perspective, he’s something cD owns/uses to reinforce his own strength. if cD can tell one of the strongest fighters on the server to jump and cS says “how high?”, there’s the assumption cS can’t ask the same for him. all of cDs relationships are imbalanced, save for maybe cTechno, he views the world through vantage points and domination

cS realizes his friendship with cD might not be what he thinks it is, pressures cD, gets affirmed, and then follows him into exile

watch the stream if you want, it’s great, but the main takeaway i got from it is cD is having a lot a lot of fun. he gets to both humiliate cT and subjugate cS, watches them argue over who’s more of a bitch and then leaves unscathed. i know cT calls out cS too, cant remember exactly what he says but i think that moment finally pushes cS out of the dark and right into el rapids loving arms Smile

he’s complicit in cTs abuse, and i don’t think cS is cDs victim either. he makes the effort to protect cClingy in the disc finale as well as post prison break, i can’t remember if he every explicitly says sorry or if they talk in depth abt their relationships to cD but i’d like to interpret their friendship as mutual understanding of why/how the other acted and what they can do to help each other. we’ll mourn you forever post prison break petduo training arc
