Do you still do art request? Because I love your mcyt g/t art and I wish I could see some more(if you have the time of course)
Thank you so much!! That means a lot :'D I've been super busy with nursing school and commissions lately, so unfortunitely haven't had much time to draw 😭 I'm still going to draw for this when I have more time, and you're welcome to leave a request :D
Also yes I know they talk about how Q is a bad influence but Q gave them their cards we're gonna just say they got them from before Q was bad-
Sapnap wasn’t a superstitious person. He’d walk in front of a black cat any day of his life, and would walk under a ladder on his daily routine to work.
He also didn’t believe in the supernatural. Sure, he was a fireborn, but there is a significant difference between that and an actual demon. And ghosts, those were just myths to scare people.
But when his friend Quackity, a psychic in training, had asked him if he could practice tarot reading with him, Sapnap easily obliged. He would do anything for his friends.
“Okay, so I got this funny deck from a thrift shop. It’s pretty strange, but it should work normally.” Sapnap sighed. “Alright then, let’s just get this over with.”
“Come on, cheer up.” Quackity chuckled as he fanned out the cards. “Okay, now just pull one from the deck-” “You’re acting like you’re going to make this a magic trick.” Sapnap returned as he slowly pulled out a card with two fingers.
He flipped the card in his hand, and gently set it in front of him. It definitely wasn’t a traditional deck, seeing as the main part of the card was a multicolored figure.
He had drawn the moon card, but the figure, seemingly human with a multicolored coat and fuzzy brown hair, was staring unblinking at him, mouth agape. “The moon! How cool! Okay, and if I’m right, This means there's deception in your life, whether it’s caused by you or someone else.”
Sapnap stared between the two. He couldn’t stop his eyes from wandering back down to the figure in the card. Absolutely stunning. “Thanks for the help Sap, this means so much.” Quackity spoke as he pulled the card back into the deck.
“Yeah, ‘course. Do you want me to follow up on it and tell you?” “Yes please, thanks hermano!”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap came home, utterly exhausted. He opened the door, ready to just crash on the couch or something. He passed the kitchen without another thought, and flopped down on his couch, falling asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap groaned, slowly opening his eyes, and spotting a small figure just in front of his face. He didn’t dare move or make a sound, as the figure started to clear up. A tiny human stood in front of him, with fuzzy brown hair and a multicolored coat.
“Hello!” Sapnap panicked and jumped up so f***ing quickly, running to grab a broom. “What the f*** are you and what are you doing in my f*** house?!” He shouted once he returned with the broom, extending the brush to hover only inches from the figure.
“I’m called Moon!” They cheered happily. “Okay, and why the f*** are you in my house?!” He shouted again, prodding them with the broom only to watch their form fizzle around the broom. “Well, there’s deception in your life, and I’m here to help!”
The tarot card. That was the figure from the tarot card. Holy s***.
He dropped the broom at this realization.
"Do you need help, drawer?" The card, named Moon, asked. “What-what the h*** did you call me?!”
“Drawer! You drew my card, so you’re the drawer!” He paused. That made sense. "Okay, well, do you want my name or are you only allowed to call me 'drawer'."
Moon gasped. "Names! Names are special. And you have one!" "Don't you have one?"
"No, I’m not special. But you are! What’s your name?” Sapnap paused. He, a fireborn, was ‘special’ enough to have a name, while this literal deity wasn’t. “Sapnap. I’m Sapnap.”
“Oh, yeah I can tell you’re special already. So, where’s the deception in your life?” Sapnap paused. Right to the point, he guessed. He thought for a few moments. “I don’t think there really is anything.”
“You drew the card Sap, can I call you that? Yeah, okay cool.” Moon muttered without pause, before starting again. “That means you have some form of deception in your life-” “Quackity’s just learning how to do these things, it could just be a random draw for all I know.”
“There’s no such thing as coincidences Sap, it was always meant to be. I think that’s what your ‘friend’ said, right?” Sapnap paused. Just how much did this deity know about him?!
Wilbur Soot was one of his closest friends, along with Quackity and George, even if the later hadn’t messaged him in months. Sure, Quackity was a bit of a tyrant over Las Nevadas, and Wilbur was newly revived after blowing up his own country, but his friends were all good people!
“Sap, I know what you’re thinking, and before you say it, I think I know where the deception lies.” Sapnap’s attention went back to Moon, who had placed their hands together, pointing them downward, almost in disappointment.
“I told you there’s no deception crap in my life!” He shouted, watching them flinch away in fear. It was a little satisfying, he would admit, but he felt a little bad. And instead of facing it, he stormed away. He was not dealing with this right now.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap made the mistake of looking down as he sat in the Grand Council meeting of Kinoko. George hadn’t been to one in ages, and made him step in instead. But as he looked down at his feet, Moon was there. Just standing on the ground.
He frowned, kicking them with his foot only to watch his limb go through Moon. Of course. “Is something wrong Sap?” He heard Foolish ask, and he immediately met the gaze of the totem hybrid. “Everything’s fine, something’s just going on at home.”
“Do you want to talk about it later?” Tina. Ever the sweet soul, asked. He shook his head. “Let’s just get back to business.” He looked down and noticed Moon had gone away. Good.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap was making dinner now, tired out of his mind. He was so ready to finish and eat, until he spotted a figure next to the stove. “Can’t you just leave me alone-” “Sapnap, I’m sorry if I did something to upset you.”
He nearly dropped his utensils. “Moon, you did nothing wrong, I’m sorry for being so rude.” Moon nodded, stepping over towards the pan. “So, what exactly are you?”
“Well, if my translation is correct, I, and the rest of the deck, would be a Spirit Guide, of sorts. It’s challenging to explain, so I’ll try my best. We basically help mortals like you with their problems, and then we ourselves can become mortal!”
He paused. “That’s interesting. So how many of you are out there…?” He was a little terrified at the answer he was going to recieve. “In the deck, I don’t remember. But right now, there are three others out! Although one failed their mission so they are cursed until they can succeed…”
Sapnap stopped to think.. “Do you know their values?” He doubted he would get much of a response, unfortunately. “Well, one was the devil and two were different swords, but I can’t remember their values.”
“Oh, foods done, do you want some, or can you not eat?” He offered. Moon smiled. “Oh, thank you, but I can’t eat.” Moon laughed, which sounded beautiful to the fireborn.
Moon watched as Sapnap walked to his table, following suit by teleporting. The little deity seemed to only watch him, which was slightly enduring. Although the fireborn thought he saw a twinge of sadness as they approached his finger, only to go through his finger.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap stretched, yawning. He stood up, going through his routine. He spotted Moon atop the counter once he came out, sighing. “Sapnap-” “Just call me Sap, it sounded better.” “Okay Sap. Can I meet your friends today?”
“Why would you want to do that? George hasn’t talked to me in months and the others are busy-” He interrupted himself as his com vibrated. He pulled it out and turned on the call. “Hello?” He asked, curious as to who would call him in the morning. “Sapnap, I-uh…could… could you join me for lunch today?”
What. The. F***. “George?! You-you-i… Okay, I’ll come over then. Do you want me to bring anything?” “No, no it’s fine. Uh… see you then I guess?” Sapnap blinked a few times in confusion. What just happened?
“Was that George?” Sapnap nodded. “Oh! I can’t wait! Can we visit your other friends today too?” “Moon, I can’t even carry you.” “I can teleport!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hermano! What are you doing here, may I ask?” Sapnap smiled, seeing both Quackity and Wilbur in the avian’s office. “Just wanted to drop by and say hi before I go off to meet George for lunch-” “George?! Please, you could do so much better. Come on and hang out with us, instead.”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Moon watched the conversation from through the door. Wilbur and Quackity were the cause of his deception. He needed to help Sapnap figure that out! The area behind him vibrated, and he turned around, spotting a massive, slimy creature. He gasped as it fell down to his level.
“Moon! What a joy it is to see you again!” He gasped. “Suit of Swords? Wow! You’re here!” Moon smiled. “Yeah! And I have a name! It’s Slimecicle!”
Moon gasped, smiling. “That’s amazing Slimecicle! Did you complete your mission then?” “I have not, sadly. Schlatt wouldn’t listen to me, and Quackity is falling down the same hole. Until one of them listens, I’ll be cursed like this.” Slimecicle raised his slimy arms.
Moon frowned. “You can do it Slimecicle, I believe in you!” He cheered, smiling brightly. “Thank you Moon, I believe in you too!” He smiled, and watched as Slimecicle slipped under the doors. That looked like fun.
~~~~~~~~~~
“George!” He smiled as Sapnap shouted. He felt terrible for not talking with the fireborn, but he was fixing it now with the help of Dream. “Sap! I made sandwiches.” The fireborn laughed. “Still the same old boring food from our childhood.”
George chuckled, the fireborn was still outspoken. “I’m sorry Sapnap, I really wanted to talk with you, but I let my anxieties get in the way. I should’ve kept contact-” “Well, the good news is that you broke through your bubble enough to ask me over. I’m proud. Now let’s go catch up.”
Sapnap was too nice for this world.
The two had been talking for a bit, before George picked up the nerve to show the fireborn the savior of their friendship. “Hey Sap?” George asked once they fell into comfortable silence. “Yeah?” He responded, and oh, the anxiety.
“This may sound f***ing crazy, but I made a new friend. His name is Dream, and he’s been helping me talk to you. But the catch is, he's big enough to fit in my pocket.”
George watched Sapnap’s face morph as he pulled out the tiny man and set him on the table. “Whoah.” The fireborn breathed. “You can touch him.”
What. “What?!” “You can touch him. Did Q give you him too?” What was happening. “Too?!” George watched as a figure materialized atop his table.
“Moon?” Dream asked. “Dream! Wow, so cool!” ‘Moon’ spoke excitedly. But they didn’t seem too excited. “Holy s***...”
~~~~~~~~~~~
“This has been so much fun, I can’t believe Q and Wilbur don’t like you.” George gave Sapnap a concerned look. “You’re still hanging out with them?” “I mean yeah, they're my friends.”
George frowned. “Sap, they aren’t good people. Quackity runs a casino and gave us these cards, and Wilbur blew up his own country for g**s sake.” George stared at Sapnap.
“I… What happens to the cards when you do what they say?” “They’ll basically be like us, just smaller and more fragile.” Sapnap nodded. “And if I don’t…?”
“Then you’ll die permanently and I’ll be cursed until I help someone else.” Moon responded slowly. George could see the gears turning in Sapnap’s mind, which concerned him a bit.
“Thanks George, this has been fun, but I need to go see Papa.” His friend nodded, leading him to the door. “Thanks for coming Sap, glad we could catch up.”
~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey Skeppy, I’m here to-whoah, who’s this?” Sapnap asked as he walked into their kitchen. “That’s Bad, we’re baking muffins because they’re his favorite food.” Sapnap smiled, making eye contact with the diamond golem.
“Is he a card too?” Skeppy nodded. Sapnap watched as Moon appeared, and frowned as Moon looked sadder. “Want some before you go?” Sapnap looked up at Skeppy who seemed to know how badly he wanted to go. “Yeah, that would be great.”
“Thanks for coming Sap, maybe we’ll visit you soon.” He smiled, giving him a basket of muffins and shoving him through the door.
~~~~~~~~~
“Moon! I did it! I talked to Wilbur and Quackity, and you were right!” Sapnap announced, bounding into the kitchen, and looking for his small companion.
“That’s nice Sap, well done.” Sapnap turned, watching Moon’s smiling figure fade away. He wanted to cry.
Moon was gone.
Sapnap frowned, storming back into his room. He slammed the door closed and cried.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sapnap had promptly ignored the pounding on his door today, not willing to go out and talk. Moon was gone, so there was no point in him talking with anyone else, right? They probably couldn’t understand.
He pushed himself off the bed, rolling onto the floor. He opened the door, slowly and sadly walking to the kitchen. He opened his fridge, growling as he lost interest in the food.
“Sap?” A gentle and soft voice rang through the room. He looked towards the table, trying to tell himself that he was just imagining things.
But he wasn’t.
Moon was there, standing on the table.
Moon.
Holy s***! Sapnap ran towards the table, kneeling down to stand at eye level with the tiny. “Moon!” He smiled happily. “Hey Sappy!”
“I missed you so much!” Sapnap cried. Moon stepped forward, placing a hand to his cheek. And he felt it.
He felt it.
He was too excited now, reaching out and scooping the tiny figure into his hands, placing a kiss to their chest. “I can touch you now!” He cheered, snuggling his nose into Moon’s shirt. “I can touch you too! So exciting!”
Sapnap paused for a moment. “So, how does the naming process go? Do you make one, or should I name you?” Moon gasped, a shimmer in their eyes.
“I want you to name me! It’s more special that way.” Sapnap smiled. “But what if I name you something stupid like Taylor.” Moon laughed, the same laugh that he missed. “I know you wouldn’t, and even if it did, it would mean so much more coming from you.”
