Time does not exist when XD and HD are born from the universe, acknowledging each other’s existence. XD brings together and HD pulls apart in an eternal dance that will form all things. They do not know what they’ll create, they do not know that in simply being, they are everything.
As they push and pull atoms and planets and stars, they realize that they enjoy each other’s company and so their dance continues. After unknown eons and millennia, HD suggests a wager.
“Let us set up a great game, you and I.” They will create the earth and promise not to destroy it as they would their other creations. They promise to let it be and form longer than other celestial bodies. For a time they watch and enjoy as the earth forms and cools, magma forming rock and oceans covering its surface, until one day, they sense another presence.
In the beginning, there was nothing, and Nothing liked it that way, forever asleep until the noise of creation forced them to wake. The Blood God opens their eyes, wandering far from the distant edges of existence without HD or XD’s knowledge. It follows their trail of creation and destruction, absorbing all into its great black maw.
XD desires creation, HD desires destruction, but the Blood God desires nothing. And nothing is what they would leave.
The two gods ignore Nothing for a while, simply moving out of the orbit of the great devourer and their unending, insatiable hunger. But the longer they run, leaving a trail of unraveled galaxies and dying stars to be swallowed in their wake, the more powerful the Blood God becomes.
In the infinite expanse of space and time, eventually comes the confluence, the merging of three entities not meant for each other’s presence. The Blood God finds them.
“Why do you follow us?’ XD and HD finally ask them.
“You create noise, such loud and lively noise. I want silence, I want to return to the void from where I began. I will not rest until all of creation is quiet.”
But that is not what XD and HD want. “But we are creation and silent we cannot be.”
“Then I shall devour you too so that nothing can ever be made again.”
And so comes the first battle, a clash of forces, each eternal, conscious since the beginning of time—they started the clock after all.
In the madness of godly calamity, worlds burn, and galaxies pull asunder amongst the thrashing of the universe’s children. All burn except one.
As the Blood God reaches to devour the Earth, HD intervenes, interceding their path and colliding in a hail of fire and mist and stars. The Blood God, with their absorbed strength and rage, open their great maw and sink in their black fangs.
HD’s strength begins to fade, XD can feel it, a vacuum as nothing begins to fill a space once full of life. But they were not afraid. Gods didn’t feel fear, nor did they know death.
Distracted by their caught prey, the Blood God doesn’t notice XD’s approach until it is too late. Delivered a final mighty blow, the Blood God reels back, wounded and weakened. In a span of time indistinguishable from the rest, XD bestows a curse upon the red god.
“For your greed and folly, I cast upon you this curse: as nothing is what you desire, this I shall grant. You will remain an infant, returned to the womb you so love. You shall be doomed to an egg for the rest of time.” And so the Blood God was trapped, forever frozen in a crimson egg and banished to the far reaches of the cosmos.
As the remnants of their battle float away, XD comes to HD. Both weakened and tired, together they fall to earth, pulled into the gravity of their own creation. Together their forms condense, in firey rain and stardust their souls became flesh and bone. They land upon a beach, the stars painting the sky.
In arms molded to mimic the life they’d born, XD cradles HD, their wounds harsh and prominent. Neither had experienced this in their existence. This is something new.
In their holy tongue, HD speaks. “I’m tired, XD.”
“Tired?” XD questions, “What’s that like?”
HD hums, unconcerned and weightless, “Like falling, fading… I think I shall sleep.”
Gods didn’t know death, so how could they know its gentle touch?
“For how long?” XD asks.
“I don’t know. But I think I’ll return.”
“You don’t know?”
HD shakes their head weakly, “How could I? I’ve never been tired.”
And XD had never been alone. “However long you need, I will wait for you.”
HD smiles. “I know you will. Maybe, I’ll dream of you.”
XD takes their companion's limp fingers, wrapping them in a gentle touch. “Rest well, my other.”
“Goodnight… I’ll see you soon.” HD bows their head and ceases to move.
XD sits there with them, watching the stars.
Gods didn’t know death, so how could they know it was as eternal as they?
_________________
When HD disappeared, a piece of the universe disappeared with them. XD felt it the moment they’d closed their eyes, set in an endless slumber. For the first time in existence, XD felt incomplete. The universe wasn’t balanced.
But that was alright, for one day HD would wake. One day, the half would be made whole.
XD didn’t care at first, waiting was something they could do. Time was infinite, as were they. Centuries passed and still they waited. Centuries turned to millennia and millennia, eons. The hole remained ever-present, a tear forever unhealed.
Gods weren’t born to feel, but as the time flew by, unaware and unconcerned, XD began to. But it wasn’t a pleasant thing. Mortals might call it sadness. XD began to ponder; if they could feel like a mortal then could they die like one? Is that the strange thing that had taken HD from them?
Did gods die? XD didn’t know. Matter could not be destroyed so surely they couldn’t either. Maybe they were scattered, remnants throughout the universe waiting to come together again. Maybe they were just sleeping, waiting to re-emerge from the chrysalis of time, to be reborn when all returned as one. But that was too long. XD could wait forever, but that didn’t mean they wanted to.
XD grew impatient, searching the span of stars and galaxies for any piece of their lost companion. Maybe their essence was in the stars, the moon, in the soil. XD explored the vast corners of the cosmos, through a billion variations of life.
When they began to lose hope, confined to their solitude, XD felt something new. Their eye turned towards one last planet. Earth, the only creation preserved from the gods’ cataclysm. Something called to them there, newly born, a faint but clear song.
In a small land, newly formed from young hands and naive youth, lived a brown-haired boy. His fierce spirit and chaotic joy felt familiar so XD stayed and watched, curious of the call that sang from their soul.
When the boy had grown into a man, XD made a choice.
They returned to earth, their form once again of flesh and blood before the young man. George, his name was George.
“Are you awake?” XD asked in the language of the gods. The human stood fearful, but the spark still burned strong in their gaze.
Confusion became him and at last, the human asked, “Who are you?”
XD stared with divine eyes, undeterred by the mortal’s lack of understanding. After eons of wandering, of missing pieces, XD could see a glint of his other half in this small creature. It drew them in like the gravity so familiar to them, and they would let it drag them into its spiral.
As they stood before the mortal, at last, that sadness seemed to fade. In XD’s hands was hope.
“I am DreamXD,” they spoke at last, “And I am a god.”
The mortal stared in wonder, drawn to the presence of the divine, drawn towards XD as natural as his breath.
Now XD knew, gods did not die, they were remade.
As their companion slumbered in the heart of mortal coils, XD swore an oath that day. For however long this human lived, they’d be at their side. If HD still slept then one day, XD would awaken them.
ok post nuke idea, cgeorge was fast asleep when everything got nuked, and it puts him in some sort of coma. cdream (with Zero memories) stumbles upon the most beautiful man he's ever seen fast asleep beneath a mushroom. he's a little weirded out bc nobody has any idea of who he is, but cdream doesn't just wanna Leave him all by himself so he hangs around for a while, talking to the sleeping man who thinks that cdreams voice is just some cruel joke and decides to not even bother waking up.
israel is invading rafah today while everyone will be distracted by the oscars. don’t let yourself be distracted, keep eyes on rafah, keep eyes on palestine.
after everything im most likely stepping back from this fandom, andto be completely honest, i don't know what im gonna do with my account here. ive considered either completely deactivating or just archiving my other fanart accounts and i just don't know if this one here's worth keeping, considering how little ive spent on it. 😭 but idk, ill decide later.
Sam talked on stream about an unused water mechanic and Ravager mechanic for Pandora's Vault.
Transcription below the cut:
SAM: *reading chat* "Wait, we need a bucket of water, king." For what? There's water in the corner. Pee in that, drink that. You know, you'll be fine.
SAM: When we were originally talking about the prison, I actually had this genius idea that we could add like a— a water system to the game. Where it would like— if Dream was live— Like if Dream went live, he had to actively be drinking water, and the prison would give him, like, a set amount of water. Just another way that he was, like, made weak. But… we ended up not doing it, 'cause it was kind of a lot of work. And Dream also wasn't— like, didn't think he was gonna stream enough for it to be worth all the work. So we didn't do it, but… That was an idea that I actually had. That was an idea that we had.
SAM: And when like… He and I thought it would be a good bit if like— like if he tried to do something then…. Then, like, I could give him, like, less water. Like… I could punish him and I give him salt water in the bottles. As like… like a thing. That was like an idea that we had. But we didn't end up doing it, obviously. As you all are aware.
SAM: Like can you imagine being like so thirsty? You're locked in a prison cell. And then you get water, but it's salt water. Like, that would just be such a crazy… crazy thing. *reading chat* "Maybe next time?" Mayhaps. Next time I design a… crazy survival build prison that's truly inescapable without help. Maybe.
SAM: *reading chat* "And the fact that the cell was covered in lava." Exactly. Like, it would have been such a cool bit.
SAM: *reading chat* "Needs a few Wardens and Ravagers." Okay. I actually— In the original design, I actually did have Ravagers that could drop from the ceiling and wander. But they kept dying. The Ravager AI is like, really, really, really stupid. And so they would actually walk into certain area and get stuck. Like, in the obsidian and die. So I took them out. But there was originally a system in the prison that would drop them from the ceiling in certain areas. But the Ravagers were so dumb, they would just die. So I couldn't like— I couldn't build a containment unit out of obsidian and, like, get it to work how I wanted. 'Cause they were just dying.
with bds calling for an official boycott of eurovision, one of the things they have asked is for “supporters to launch creative, strategic initiatives that can pressure broadcasters to withdraw” and so i encourage all those whose countries are participating in eurovision to find out how to contact your national broadcaster to make a complaint. for those living in countries who dont broadcast eurovision i know u can still send a complaint to the bbc if ur outside the uk for one
this is the message i have been sending, feel free to translate it/use it as a template/improve it/etc:
Dear sir/ma'am,
In 2022, following the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, pressure was applied to the Eurovision Song Contest to bar Russia from competing that year and all years since. It was widely rightfully agreed that the invasion was worthy of strong condemnation and that Russia should be given no avenues to rehabilitate its public image.
In October 2023, the state of Israel began a military campaign against the people of the already occupied Gaza Strip in Palestine. In a disproportionate, atrocious response to the Hamas attack on the 7th of October 2023, Israeli forces have murdered over 30,000 Palestinians and displaced almost 2 million from their homes. Palestinian civilians (journalists and doctors included), entirely unaffiliated with the Hamas party Israel claims to target, have been targeted and killed indiscriminately. Stripped of basic necessities like food, water and electricity by Israel, with intent vocalised by multiple Israeli forces to eliminate Gaza and the Palestinian people, this is no less than a genocide.
Thus Israel, much like Russia, should not be permitted to compete in a contest that has been used repeatedly to maintain its pristine public image while it brutally oppresses Palestine. Especially when it has been charged with genocide explicitly by South Africa, a case that took place in the ICJ, thoroughly elucidating the crimes committed by the Israeli state, a charge agreed upon by several countries and genocide scholars alike.
The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement has called for a complete boycott of Eurovision by broadcasters, artists and viewers and I ask that the BBC comply with this - abstain from broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest and withdraw this years entry to the contest.
especially f you live in a country that participates in Eurovision, contact your broadcaster. even if you don't, there is contact info for broadcasters and an official sponsor at the following link along with a template email
