Brian cant willing switch modes

Mje: won’t let him switch because if he switched he would do somthing morally wrong to achieve what he needs/wants to do

Ejm: I lent let him switch because it the other mode would have to stop the reaching the goal

There has been times where Brian has been unable to do what he wants because of this and it messes with Brian a lot

Watching Destroying a World That Doesnt Exist as a TMA fan:

Never been so devastated by a piece of media like I've been with these two.

DAWTDE SPOILERS:

i feel like people don't acknowledge or talk about the difference between Avery and derlords approaches at the environments and how it shows their strengths.

derek goes slow and cautious yet also picks things apart. he goes for the more logical approach and also knows what he's doing when he moves things around and what to do. you cant track the amount of intentional traps made and blocks placed that were there for future events. he sees Minecraft as a sandbox and something to test constantly.

avery isn't an idiot, we see him move around quick and also make planned landings, parkour, he runs around swift because he's STEALTHY! he's TACTICAL! when he didn't have his honey or slime blocks to land with anymore he kept the boat because that's the next best thing- he naturally sees Minecraft as a game that you need to be able to move around, jump, and plan around for. more battle oriented and I feel like a lot of people miss that part of him,but when he was in lights out city and his heart was beating YOU CAN SEE HIS SKILLS VERY CLEARLY! hiding around, using the camera pov's, checking every corner and saving his stamina.

Hes not smart like derek but he's strategic.. think of it like derek has the intelligence, Avery has the wisdom.

obviously Derek also has a shitton of wisdom but in this circumstance: Avery doesn't know a lot but he knows how to put his body to work and what to do when he needs too. Derek knows a shitton and usually tends to go from that when presented with an obstacle rather than instinct.

IT WAS GOING TO BE A SHORT DRABBLE I SWEAR. IT GOT OUT OF HAND. OOPS ????---

Avery sat in front of the laptop for longer than he wanted to admit. Knocked into the void, respawn screen mocking him even as the faint boom of fireworks going off rattled his window.

It was New Year's Eve, after all.

Everyone was celebrating.

His throat felt tight. A choked sob escaped him even as tears filled his eyes as he finally broke down. He had saved him.

Derek had...

Avery didn't want to admit it. To think it, to speak it, would make it real. With shaking hands, he checked the recording. His eyes widened as he realized that it hadn't recorded past Its first appearance.

No one would know what the knight had done for him on that platform. Helplessly, he scrubbed through the last few minutes of the video, replaying those first moments he and Derek had in the library. He had been so full of hope. So happy to meet the man who had warned him. He had almost asked where Derek had lived, if only to deliver food to him. Living off of smoothies couldn't be healthy.

God, but that didn't matter now, did it? He wasn't...

...

...?

There, in his footage. A random string of letters and numbers. Something Derek had brushed off at first, getting Avery to focus on the here and now, but something in him screamed to figure it out.

He had never been good at puzzles, but for the man that saved his life, Avery would do anything.

He copy-pasted it into his notes app and stared at it.

Okay, I have no idea how to go about this. The YouTube commenters managed to find Derek's original videos in a... Google Drive... folder.

Frantically, he typed in the Google Drive URL, then copy-pasted the string after, hoping, praying, that some part of Derek had known that it was going to end like this, that there was some backup plan, that he wasn't dead.

A video and a document graced the laptop's screen.

He nearly screamed. Hope, frustration, relief, or something else, Avery didn't know or care. He opened the video, and began to watch Derek's last moments, uncaring of the tears still on his face.

-- 1 Week Later --

The coffee shop was warm.

Avery had been coming here a lot. Anything to get out of his apartment. To get out of the place he had watched Derek Hutchins die.

For his sake.

He almost slammed his coffee - a mocha latte with pistachio drizzle and far too many shots of espresso - down on the table, but resisted the urge. If he spilled it again, he would never survive the shame.

And he was barely holding on as it was.

Eventually, Avery drained the last of his coffee and shambled to the exit. It was a clear winter morning, the near-perpetual cloud cover during the season strangely absent. The sun shone brightly on the windows of the buildings in his city. He had never hated the sun more. What reason did it have to shine, when his knight was dead?

How cruel the world was, to continue despite everything. He left his soul behind on that platform with Derek. Everything important was stuck on New Year's Eve.

But time kept moving forward, and so did Avery.

He forced his feet to move, one after the other, until he blinked, and was at his apartment door.

His... unlocked apartment door.

I could've sworn I locked it. Did someone break in? Why?

He didn't have anything of value. Nothing except...

The laptop that he had met Derek through. He couldn't lose it. Burglar or serial killer or whatever, Avery couldn't lose the last piece of him he had left.

He burst into the apartment, fists raised, ready to fight off anyone who tried to touch the laptop, but...

No one was there.

Kitchen, living room... bedroom. All empty. He stepped further into his bedroom, double-checking that the laptop was still on the bed where he had left it to charge.

"I... guess I was just being paranoid," he muttered to himself, turning back towards the kitchen.

He stopped dead in his tracks.

There was a man there. Form slightly blurred at the edges, as if he wasn't fully there. Which was... ridiculous, of course. Avery could see him.

Oh, God, I've finally lost it. I'm hallucinating. This is how it ends.

"Avery," the man said, face breaking into a smile.

Something about the hallucination was so painfully familiar that tears pricked at Avery's eyes. God, it was like...

It was like meeting Derek all over again.

The man kept talking, oblivious to his plight, "Avery, I'm okay now. My head doesn't hurt anymore. The pain is gone, Avery! And you're here, and I'm here, and now everything will be okay."

"Derek..?" he managed to whisper past the lump in his throat, barely daring to hope.

"Avery," is all the man - is all Derek said, opening his arms for a hug.

He choked out another, "Derek," before breaking completely and wrapping his arms around the other, "Oh my God, Derek, I thought I lost you. I-I... I thought you died!"

His hiccupped sobs filled his bedroom as he clung to his knight and cried. Derek simply stood there, letting Avery use him as a tissue and a comfort item in one.

I can touch him. He's real. He's real he's real he's real. He's...

He's in my house.

When he pulled away, Derek was still smiling, "Oh, Avery. I missed you."

A wet laugh escaped him, even as a shiver ran down his spine, "We've never even met."

He stepped closer, encroaching on Avery's personal space, "But I know you, Avery. And I missed you."

"H-How did you..?" he started to ask, taking a step back.

"Stop the pain? Escape my unfortunate fate? Find you?" Derek completed for him, "Simple! It... resides in me, now! But," he hurriedly added as Avery's eyes widened and he took another step back, "But! I'm still me! It's alright, Avery, I won't hurt you."

"Really..?"

"I could never hurt you," the knight affirmed, though he didn't look very knightly in a baggy hoodie and jeans, "Now that we're together, I can make sure you're safe! I can keep you safe! Forever!"

Avery didn't know what to make of that. Derek was in front of him, but it wasn't D3rlord who was speaking. Oh, but to hold him, to clutch his hoodie and know that he was real...

He couldn't find it in himself to care.

Maybe he would, one day, but in this moment...

He let himself pretend that the Derek in front of him was the one that had saved him. There was no harm in pretending, if only for a little while.

Wordlessly, Avery crept forward and wrapped his arms around not-Derek once more. The dark laugh that came from the knight only cemented his thoughts further. It wasn't Derek. That was fine.

He could pretend.
