“Good, you seem to be taking this seriously. Hold still.”

“Wha— why?” Wilbur said, finally looking up at him.

“So I can punch you in the face.”

“Wha—?”

CRACK

[tinygenderfluid]

The Clem's family leaving through the stairwell bit is so off-putting, like genuinely giving me the heebie-jeebies.

How the fuck did you set that up so well?????

Don't you dare stop, this is the funniest thing I've seen all week! xD

You live 👁️

[scorpionoesit]

I lurk and watch from the void and occasionally allow a bubble of consciousness to poke out.

...or Ali~Beta forcefully yeets me out, but that's neither here nor there.

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it: Braided Realities is Getting an Update?! Not Clickbait?!?!!*!@#%*@#$%^&"

Just to show you guys how unhinged obsessed dedicated Ali~Beta is to Braided Realities, they locked me in a virtual room for three and a half hours while drawing (and vaguely explaining) this.

The unhinged part being that this entire thing is backstory referencing a Braided prequel fic that hasn't even been written yet, that is only relevant to the next two chapters because OF A SINGLE CONVERSATION!

Ali~Beta: "Technically it's, like three conversations—"

Scorpio: "...."

Ali~Beta & Scorpio: (* °ヮ°)  (눈_눈)

Anyways, enjoy deciphering/theorizing about this hot mess.

August 25

I did art of the mafia and Tommy, I was wondering tho if there are any of the others you want art of cause I’m in a vagabonds mood

First of all, I've seen your artwork. Love all of it. It will be getting linked in the next chapter. Yes, this is a threat.

(Also, the card idea was really cool, loved that so much! And the little details you added in were awesome!)

As for others, the vigilantes would be great! If you want a more detailed description for anybody, just lemme know!

Although, you may wanna wait til next chapter. We'll be getting some new characters. :D

[scorpionoesit]

Would it be ok to make an animated version of vagabonds? I’m not sure if I’d ever actually commit to it or finish it, but I absolutely love this fic and have imagined it as a cartoon ever since I started reading lol.

(Id credit you obviously)

...I'm, like, genuinely astonished that someone would want to do this.

I would be genuinely honored if someone were to actually put the time and effort into doing something like that.

So yes, I am absolutely okay with that, and I'm glad that my work means that much to you. :')

[scorpionoesit]

ur tubbo seems like the kinda guy to send tommy fnaf game theory videos at 3am

...this made me cackle maniacally, and you are absolutely right.

Tommy is ground zero for whatever Tubbo's hyperfixation of the week is.

[scorpionoesit]

What are you all time favourite books, or fanfics? Because you’re writing style is so cool—honestly Vagabonds has the best plot and pacing I’ve ever read in fan-fiction—and it inspires me a lot, so I want to find out what inspires you <3

Beta: *shakes aggressively* RAVEN CYCLE!

Uhhh, I dunno, I read a bunch of junk as a kid. A lot of sci-fi and fantasy. I loved Mysterious Benedict Society, that was probably my favorite book series as a kid. I think I read the prequel book like three separate times.

Ooo! 39 Clues was a favorite!

I dunno, most of these are, like, middle school level reading (even if I did read them in high school, shut up).

I did read (but did not finish) Lunar Chronicles. (I swear, I've started the series twice and just keep dying half way through). That inspired a couple things in Vagabonds.

Another inspiration was the web series Worm, which is part of the Parahumans universe. Really good web series, pretty dark, very complex and intricate characters. (Again, didn't finish it, because I have commitment issues.)

If you just wanna just dig through my bookmarks, that's probably a better idea. Don't judge me. I don't really do romance, if that's what you were hoping for, you won't really find much. Uhhh, lot's of fandoms? Assorted treats? Take your pick if you dare.

[scorpionoesit]

i am so so normal about vagabonds, i promise. i am very normal about it. anyway, take this art i made of tommy and michael,, dkdnldndks

also!! i made a lil comic about what could be a funny scenario in chapter four. do i really think it will go this way? prolly not. do i think it would be funny if it did? yes, yes i do.

...I'm linking this in the next chapter. >:)

Also, Beta loves your Michael.

Beta: LOOKATHISLITTLEEVERYTHINGHE'SHOLDINGTHEBEARI'MGONNASCREEEEE—

Scorpio: Aaaand my headset just shorted out. Be right back.

[scorpionoesit]

How long till the new vagabonds chapter. Is it perhaps-*waves box of thin mints seductively-soon?

..................how do you wave— actually wait, nevermind, I don't wanna know.

I'm more surprised you knew that I like thin mints. Is it my personality? Does my sense of humor just radiate 'thin mint supremacy' to you people?

What even?

[scorpionoesit]

it's been months since i read braided realities and i still get ptsd from it, especially as a science student we need to use the word 'delta' a lot. and damn the flashbacks.

this fic gave me more emotional trauma than anything ever did lmao

Love both of your fics A LOT. thanks for writing something so incredible

As a math major, I laugh at your torture while ignoring my own. xDDD

[scorpionoesit]

if i may ask- do you mind if we make podfics of your works? i’ve been yearning to make a podfic of vagabonds for a long while, myself,, and the only real thing stopping me(aside from a lack of free time and other stuff) is the fact that i feel like i should ask permission,,, dkdmkdmd. i’ve never made a podfic before, so- i don’t really know the etiquette for making one, if asking permission is required or needed, but still- asking is polite! regardless of your answer, i hope you and alibi have a great rest-of-your-day/night! ^v^ — 🌌

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT—

Beta: Bro.

Scorpio: sssshhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH—

To specify, ANY kind of creative content you guys wanna make? GO FOR IT! That would make our day more than you could imagine.

(As long as we're credited. Please give credit.)

[scorpionoesit]

Hey quick question, is vagabond! Tommy a good cook? We already know he’s a great baker but is he a good cook?

I mean, as good as anyone who can read a recipe is?

Unlike some people I know. *looks at Ali~Beta*

Beta: It was one time!

Scorpio: Hair in the casserole, plastic in the oven, not noticing meat was rotten, burning a soup—

Beta: SHUT UP!

Scorpio: You're a hazard to society.

Beta: At least I can cook, Ramen-boy!

Scorpio: We just established that you can't. Also, ramen is the mana of the gods, you rescind that offense you heretic.

(Yes, Tommy can cook, he just doesn't do it often.)

[scorpionoesit]

Will we ever see Punz chuck a book perfectly at a shelf ever?

...............we'll get back to you on that.

[scorpionoesit]

I have created a tumblr acc for two reasons: one, because I thought I should have one, and two: to ask this q (with an identity).

So like I was re-reading your legend of a fic for the fifth time, as one does. when I noticed something; we don't know who the second joker is, and I was naturally curious, AND also had a lack of a tumblr acc, now, idk what other people would do, but I looked at q's people asked and the answers to them, and I came across a q asking about the second joker fam. Now, I looked at the answer and you said that you 2 hadn't decided. so, have you decided? and, if not, please consider someone from business bay. I think it would be really fun to see, imagine, and read. if not, that's perfectly fine, but, I would still absolutely love some action with business bay, even if it's just like, Tommy meeting Deo on the streets when he was nine or something. Just an idea/request though! have a good day/afternoon/night!

We HAVE actually decided on the other Joker family! You'll actually get to see them in Chapter 4! :D

I'll say this now: they will NOT be Dream SMP creators. We've decided to pull from other MCYT creators. We've already refenced several in passing, but they'll slowly start playing bigger roles.

So look forward to that!

(I don't think it'll ever come up in the fic, but Business Bay does technically exist. It's an unofficial 'shopping district' in the West End of the Lower, which is a little less...uhh, let's say 'wartorn' than the East End. Tommy spent a lot of his childhood wandering around the Lower, and that was a frequent stop. So Deo and them do technically exist in his backstory, we just don't know if they'll ever come up.)
