do we fw the idea of spoke's null leader outfit somewhat resembling/looking similar to what ash wore when he was the mafia leader. do we fw this.
-☁
YES, IF NO ONE FWS THIS, I DO!! I DO!!!
heyyoo!! hru?
im really bored so im gonna talk about another au me and my friend have; mafia au! basically, The mafia never fell:///
In the AU, it's been nine years since the mafia has been in charge of the server, to the point that Ash has convinced the players that he's a good leader and only wants what's best for the server
Squiddo is the first lady <3
(I live by the concept of Ash grooming, okay.) Spoke sank so deep into Ash's manipulation that he erased from his own memory EVERYTHING Ash ever did wrong to him (including Rose) and currently sees Ash and Squiddo as parental figures! He's Ash's successor
This AU follows the concept of the protagonists growing up together, and since I LOVE chromablaze, Flame was given the role of protecting Spoke (almost like a bodyguard). Spoke doesn't mind being followed around as long as it's Flame, but if it's another guard, he HATES the idea </3
At some point, BAT and District 13 merged into a single organization to stop the mafia, and later, the newly formed LAW joined the organization! Normally this group of rebels is simply called District 13, but each leader (Parrot and Theo for District 13, BAT trio, Lettuce and Ace for Law) commands a specific area of the organization
Wemmbu and Egg are currently hiding in the End with Minute, because Wemmbu helped the Great Sea break free from the mafia's control. Minute still works for the mafia; he only considers their safety more important, which is why he helped them hide from them
Anyway, I love this AU and just wanted to share a little about it <3 Maybe one day I'll write about it
- ☀️🐰 anon
I'm doing well, thanks for asking!
Ouu shii, I've honestly always wondered what would've happened if the mafia wasn't defeated...
What the fuck is this mass manipulation😭😭😭 Dawww Ash broo
Holy shit bro I love Ash grooming Spoke and this sucks so bad broo Spokeeee😭😭😭 No Spoke save yourself please no one else will
That's the equivalent of siblings so what you're saying is that they're siblings aww yeahhh
So cute... My chromablaze duo... Return to me...
So are they still called district 13 or did they combine names too and become like something else
How the hell did the mafia even conquer the great sea there's so way
If minutes in the mafia how did he conquer the end
Yo if you write about it you must update me .
First of all my I say that I feel SO honored that people are taking my silly headcanons and adding them to their own/ using them for inspiration 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (thank you 🕯️ anon you’re the GOAT)
And second, omg, Kreexp, ur headcanons are so cool 😭😭😭 I especially like the whole “connected universes” one also the one about Clown’s mask polluting the air around him :D (pretty sure you might’ve mentioned it before?)(I’m STEALING ALL OF THEM 😈)
With that being said… I shall now get into the headcanon I’ve been teasing for the last two asks I think…
For both Spoke and Ash, being in power PHYSICALLY hurts them. Well, it’s actually more about how they react to being in power and the way that they obtained it.
I’m going to start with Ash.
He, in my headcanons, is a glitch, which is a very unstable being (cough cough just like voidlings cough cough) which, if certain factors act upon it, will just glitch out of the world. Those “certain factors” being mostly strong emotions.
For Ash, being in power felt exhilarating (the mafia was pretty much the first time he was really in control of his life and not just going along with people’s plans because he had to). Whenever something would go really badly in his plans, he’d react with explosive anger on the inside. Both of these factors, meant that his glitching would act up more than usual, spread to other parts of his body such as his arms and legs and taking over more of his face. This, at some point, started to genuinely hurt him as the server by itself started rejecting him and trying to purge his glitches (which didn’t work at all, cause they’re literally a part of him and the server can’t forcibly remove him without admin permission). Anyways so this also affected him mentally, made him more stressed (as being in pain constantly would do to one) and more prone to having mood swings, which would only WORSEN his condition.
Now onto Spoke.
Voidlings are practically the opposite of glitches in almost every way. While glitches need a generally stress-free and VERY emotionally regulated environment, Voidlings require strong emotions to keep them anchored to the server. If they “stop feeling”/enter a dissociative state/fall victim to melancholy and apathy (which is also in their nature) for too long, the void will pull them down and absorb them fully.
Now Spike clearly isn’t doing all that great as the leader of Null. Power is something he’s sought out his entire life, but, unlike Ash, he doesn’t feel any happier because he has it (also because he’s already held power before this point). Spoke, post the “death” of Mapicc has entered a state in which he doesn’t even want to think about the concept of processing his emotions. As such, he is very cut off from them in this moment, prone to apathy and dissociative states (again, mostly because of Mapicc’s “death” and him absolutely NOT being over it). As the void pulls back on him because his of this, he always feels an almost crushing weight atop his body, which yes, does hurt.
…
OH ALSO
By now in the canon, I believe (as I mentioned before) that Ashswag has mostly mellowed out and mostly healed from the trauma he’s suffered in the past (backstory stuff I’m not gonna get into, but being practically forced to kill your own older brother tends to mess up people (so does having to kill completely innocent people (Rose) (I’m sorry (no I’m not)))), which really makes him contrast with Spoke when they inevitably meet once again (Ash did say he’d be there when Spoke made his own mafia after all…).
Spoke is suffering through the worst part of his life and Ash has to be faced with the fact that that he (at least somewhat) is the cause of this current state of being, as his words most definitely impacted Spoke a lot.
I think Spoke would be quite shocked by what Ashswag has turned into, maybe even slightly disappointed. Maybe he believed that Ashswag was the only other person evil enough to forgive him for his crimes (a concept I saw in a fanfic that I unfortunately forgot the name of). Maybe he convinced himself that Ashswag was the only person he had left, and now, even HE is gone.
…
Oh wait there’s…
When Spoke was infiltrating the mafia, Ash calling him a “friend” of his and singling him out from his friends was a manipulation tactic… somewhat. At this point, Ash was very lonely, only a few months after one of his friends turned into the worst version of himself and the ADMIN had to step in (more backstory stuff I made up) to and only a few more months after the murder of Ket (his older brother). I like to think that this was set before Squiddo really got incorporated into the mafia and could serve as an actual friend for Ash. At that point, all his relationships were purely transactional. That does not mean that anything that he said towards Spoke or any of his actions were justified, I just like to think that there was some shred of actual emotion when he told Spoke, Mapicc and Leowook they were his only real friends. Maybe there’s a universe in which Ash and Spoke are friends… (this is most likely a very ooc characterization of him but I simply do not care)
…
Oh wait I have another headcanon about these two :D
Ash, during the mafia, mentioned that “this thing (the rise and fall of villains on unstable) works in cycles”. I headcanon that that’s a narrative he convinced himself of (well, actually, it was pushed onto him, but that involves a lot of backstory stuff i completely made up for him) the inevitability of his downfall into becoming a villain. Now this is pretty similar to how Spoke was made to believe “it was always going to end like this”, and I headcanon, that he will now use to justify him becoming a villain. Because it was all inevitable. He’s just another piece of the cycle. They both are.

It's always such a good feeling when people take inspiration off of your headcanons or stuff like that
Why thank you, I was honestly planning on writing a fanfic about that but.. I actually have no clue what to write lol. Yes, I think I mentioned the Clown mask one before but I really liked it so I said it again c: Oh no👀👀👀 stealing my headcanons 👀👀👀 whatever will I do
Also that's the first time anyone has referred to me by name on this blog, I count that as an achievement
Physically 🤔 hurts them that's really intriguing even before I've read the explanation why
Glitches and voidlings are what? Say that again?
Holy shit that does not sound good
Well yeah power and control always feels good, I mean usually.
I do imagine Ash as a massive fucking crashout even if physically he remains calm, so that checks out
Well, that can't be good.🤔 Y'know that's really funny considering how in my ash design, his entire head is glitchy, not just the usual one glitched eye
Oh god, it's always something with these bug/glitch characters getting purged by the server💔 ou shii
Ash bro😭😭😭 you gotta calm tf down!!!
Wow, so very interesting... "Stress free and emotionally regulated" isn't how I'd describe the unstable smp but okay
That's super cool, I've never made any emotion related headcanons before and this might be my incentive to write some
Ou shii. That's bad (you think?), so they have to actively avoid the nature of their being , got it (i was thinking of Minute but I realise he's not really apathetic because he's still like protecting the end for a good cause)
Well it doesn't really take a genius to see that......
Oh man, that's kinda bad I think. Spoke has always held power.
No spoke, that's bad... This is bad, can Mapicc return already, we need the happy back dude.
Oh that's bad bad
Yes that's amazing so he's like happy n shi I think
I think killing innocent people should also include the mafia members.
When you're genuinely at your lowest and the guy who practically did this to you is all calm and jolly 💔💔
Oh my god spoke🙁
I forgot about that, I'm sorry, yeah manipulation tactic n shi
Lonely guy bro, I wonder when he met uhhh squiddo
What in the world could've possibly happened yo💔💔 do I want to know
A name! Yes!
Oh so that answers my question, I see I see
I really hate transactional relationships.... Noouuu you guys can be friends... Guys...
I like to think Ash really thought they could sort of be friends in a way, even if neither really state it, but he hated having friends, connections, vulnerabilities, an Achilles heel.
("ooc" can suck my ass I'm a writer)
Oh really. Well yes I do actually think most if not all villains of unstable had this narrative forced on them one way or another and whenever anything went wrong, they remembered it and just kept falling further and further
I see, so so many people followed this false narrative and used it until it became true
Cool! The cycle!
Vro I like, reeeaallyy like all the unstable antagonists I've seen so far. Prince zam, the director, clown peirce, ashwagg, whoever else.
I feel like they just play their roles so well imo. Call me the number one villain glazer, heh.
Audhsjagsisjsjajs antagonists droooolllsss
Cough any way there's my yap
-Wemmbu forms individual
I know bro. The unstable antagonists ate always. Amazing. Fucking amazing
I'm an antagonist glazer too. I fuuuckinnn love that.
You and me both. Buddy. Lettuce was so good.
Hello its me clone 509 yet again. For this ask you'll need some context, the context being a stream from Squiddo! Its the one from yesterday (at the time of sending this, though its already said below), at around 1 hour in they modeled Wifies and I ask you to see how Ash modeled him
In this AU, during the Mafia, Squiddo would sometimes let her invis run out so she and Ash could do some silly stuff. The rules of the mafia lowkey did not apply to them because I guess that if you date the leader of the mafai, you just have some privileges.
Anyways, one of the things they like doing together is streaming and just doing whatever. This stream they were doing at the time was Squiddo's stream where they 3D modeled mcyt. (yesterday's stream at the time of writing this)
This was also the time Wifies had decided to kidnap Squiddo to use them as leverage so Ash would work for him. However, he did not know about the stream. So when he got in, ready to talk to her or whatever, Ash was also here, saw him and pretty much went "Right as we were to model you!"
Wifies is kinda confused but had something planned in case he had to meet Ash, but as he was about to execute it, Ash somehow transfers him to the digital world, specifically the site they were using????
He gets turned into whatever the hell Ash modeled for him that stream and not gonna like, it's genuinely painful for Wifies. Squiddo sees this and goes "What the hell have you done to Wifies😭😭😭 You trapped him😭😭😭😭😭"
Then they manage to transfer the thing back to the real, physical world, but the "diamond" (as Ash calls it) where Wifies is stuck in (or stuck as) is still somewhat connected to the digital world and therefore, still able to be modified. Squiddo and Ash dont know this though.
Ash then realizes that probably only Parrot would be the one of having any chance to revert Wifies back to normal, so he uses the diamond as a way to get Parrot to join the mafia.
Of course the bird refuses BUT he has a plan to get Wifies back anyways. He'll find where Ash puts the diamond and steal it.
Anyways this works (obviously with complications) except now Parrot doesn't know what to do.
However, since the diamond is still able to be modified, Wifies finds a way to shapeshift back to a "normal" form. The process is slow and while not painful this time, certainly uncomfortable. His voice is also weird, closer to the Director voice changer. He also doesn't really look real???? Imagine Absracty from HFJONE basically
However as time progresses Wifies learns how to look more realistic and manages to get his voice back to normal. He also figures out that he can shapeshift into literally whatever he wants and can change colors using the paint tool since he is still somewhat conneect to the sculpting site!
His first tried at shapeshifting into another player was Parrot who really wanted to see him try. It was actually pretty convincing! Of course there were a few things who gave that away but still could get really easily fooled.
More time passes and Wifies is able to look extremely realistic. You can not seperate it from reality at this point. He can somewhat mimic voices as well though they dont sound good.
Do whatever you will with this, it kinda sucks idk
Clone 509
Ah yeah, that's stream. Horrifying. Was terrifying.
He almost modeled a square! Almost!
Aww, cutieful glitch duo... Just shitting and giggling around...
Aww yeah, streams exist in unstable now...
Bad timing, Wifies. I feel bad. I'd be terrified, actually. When u tryna kidnap the mafia leader's girlfriend and you genuinely get kidnapped back and sucked into a fucking 3d modeling program, yeesh...
No actually wtf was Ash cooking up though, is he aware wifies isn't an abstract concept💔💔 he done fucked up my boy...
??? Is ash able to do this because he's a glitch 😭😭😭
How big is Wifies? Was he human sized? Was parrot lugging around a massive abstract shape???😭😭😭
Yay!! Back to normal!! To an extent!! Oh, so free voice changer, nottt too bad! Idk the guy, I'm sorry dude. I haven't gotten to watching hfjone I just finished the among us show
No comments after this but congratulations wifies...
Shapeshifterfies!! Yay!! You love to see it!!
I have no clue how you think of this but it's amazing.
Hello hello hello! I’m back yet again! With a wholesome (ish)(depending on if you like Jamato or not lol) AU!
So I headcanon that Spoke and Jamato met on unstable, but what if, instead of Jamato meeung spoke first, ash found him wondering around the server and became his first friend?
Anyways so this AU isn’t super fleshed out and all but basically they go on to accidentally recreate the wormhole… (the have no memories or knowledge of the wormhole ever existing lol)
Things got so bad the admin (egg) had to step in. (I also have a headcanon relating to my god/admin headcanon for egg that whenever he needs to actually appear in front of someone as an admin, he kinda turns into slenderman? Well not really, more like just a regular guy with no features on his face, completely black skin and the words “THE ADMIN” on his face)(in this disguise he also has the same suit he wears usually (like same tie and everything too…))
I’m not sure if the mafia should still exist in this AU, because I do think that Spike would change Ash, but I’m not sure I’d be quite in the direction of not making the mafia.
But if the mafia DOES exist then they co-rule it and the fall of the mafia is much harder to achieve for the protagonists.
If the mafia DOESNT exist, Eggchan separates the two after destroying the wormhole recreation. Spoke meets Mapicc again and kinda forgets about Ashswag… until they find each other again! But don’t worry it’s all cheerfull and happy! :D
Mapicc is a bit wary of Ash at the start (just like he was when he and spoke first met Ash in canon) but chills out when he sees that Ash genuinely cares for Spoke.
After that they all frolic into the sunset and nothing bad happens to them ever :D
(I just imagine the other protagonists trying to get a hold of Spoke to go fight the law or whatever and bros just in the farlands with his two friends having a great time :D)
Also uhm this is gonna be the not-quite-so-wholesome part because I NEED to kinda talk about the backstory I made up for Ash.
Ok so I don’t wanna go TOO deep into it cause it involves a lot of OCs and all of this happened BEFORE the events of unstable we actually see play out, but…
Basically Ash had four friends on the server at the start. Two of them died pretty quickly, so he was left with two. One, his older brother Ket (KetzKool, I mention him a lot lol), and two, Anglx (misspelling of Angel, the guy that got so evil the admin had to step in). So skipping a lot of stuff, Anglx basically became the leader of Null and Ket started the invisible mafia to oppose Null (kinda building off of Minute saying that the mafia didn’t use to be so bad and oppressive before Ash).
Anyways so Ash becomes Anglx’s right hand man because he’s a lil guy who yearns for power. Then he gets lowkey manipulated/forced to(/he kinda harbored some anger against him so he kinda wanted to…) kill his brother. So Ash goes undercover as one of the mafia members because he’s does NOT want his brother to recognize him. And he’s like “hm… well I can’t be a diamond player cause he KNOWS all the diamond players and that’ll be too suspicious… but iron and copper players are too low for him to listen too… hmm… ah yes! I’ll go undercover as a gold player!”
So Ash takes a chest plate with a golden eye trim and puts on invisibility and goes and tracks down Ket. But BEFORE he goes and kills him, again, he REALLY doesn’t want his brother knowing it’s him, so INSTEAD he makes a dripsone trap and covers it up with some dirt (that he also bonemeals because it looks kind plain to him)( roses and cornflowers may or may not have bloomed out of said bonemeal).
So then Ash goes and actually chats up his brother and they just… talk, for a while. (Well, Ash is not speaking as himself obviously but whatever) (also Ash had to say that his mic was broken as an excuse, because back in those times, the invis was more a means of protection from Null rather than something that was forced onto everyone)
Finally, the time comes, Ash lures his brother into the trap, right as he mines the dirt underneath Ket’s feet, his invisibility flickers out.
(Oh golly gee willickers I wonder what this entire scene might remind me of!)
Oh also I don’t wanna stretch this out any longer but basically Anglx had to have an admin intervention because he was the one behind the revival block thing in the underground (before him, Null were regular people, well, they still had the totem exploits, but they had normal skins and names and voices) and then very much went insane and he WAS technically killed by Jamato, but his spirit still existed and could still do exploits (so probably bring himself back to life) so it had to be erased too 🥀
(One thing I forgot to say but Anglx and Ket used to be the bestest of friends (before Anglx straight up turned evil)) (also they lowkey had a bromance) (this is ok to say right?????) (I mean they’re both my OCs…) (also they both were rlly good at exploiting and basically did it throughout all their lives on uu)
WOW this is LONG sorry bro 😭 (also sorry if this is written weirdly I kinda didn’t have a plan for what I wanted to write in the Ash backstory part…)
OMG I FORGOT THE PART I WAS LEADING TOWARDS WITH THE BACKSTORY
OK SO uu works in cycles, yea yea, but I headcanon that every generation of players on unstable has their own protagonists.
So generation three which is the one he have now (mentioned by Jamato somewhere at the start) has four protagonists, but so did generation two.
In gen 2, Clown basically replaces flame, with Branzy as Lomedy. Anglx replaces spoke, with Ket as Mapicc (Ash is just kinda there). And two more of my OCs replace Wemmbu and Parrot (the one that replaces Wemmbu was friends with Jaden and the one that replaces Parrot was friends with Minute)
ANYWAYS YEA I THINK ITS A COOL HEADCANON :D OK IM DONE NOW (fr now)
-🌟 anon
I count anything relatively fluffy a wholesome au
Oouu I'm liking the start of t yes
??!!! How the fuck do you ACCIDENTALLY recreate the wormhole wtf could these guys have possibly been trying to do
???!!😭😭
Ok that's interesting but wouldn't people recognize his y'know bright pink tie
The mafia should exist. Yes it should.
The mafia wouldn't fall the mafia would just be too good
What the heck egg!!! You're separating two best friends btw!!! Best friends btw!!!
Wow!! Spoke and Ash are friends??!!! Who would've guessed!!! I think mapicc is right for feeling suspicious
Yay! Super happy let's GOOO!!!!
FARLANDS😭 Yeah bro you guys are not getting spoke back
Oh ok
Is it just me who never implements ocs in my made up backstories 😭 there is not one oc bro
How do you misspell angel as angix there's no way it gets that bad
Wow that's interesting so now we know who started Null
Wow so like Ash inherited the invis mafia
That's cool that's cool
??!!! Oh ok no ash no wait
Oh ok so Ket was just chill like that. Bro.... I feel much worse about this now
?!!! Where did jamatop come from
Why did angix turn evil anyway for like power ??
How do you forget bro💔
Wow ok that's cool yes
The generation thing is so cool yeah I like that oh my god my funhouse duo my BRAZNYCRAFT!!!! ok
I might steal that like imagine if all the relevant characters in power were previous protags and they had the protag plot armor that's how they got to that point of power idk
Hi it's clover once again and time for MAFIA HEADCANNONS RAHHHHHHHHHHH (i say rah in a positive manner so like in future yaps i don't have to repeat this message)
Minute is the one recruiting the ones who turn out to be diamond/gold trims, nobody knows how he's able to sense a strong player or a diamond in the rough
Marloww (she's isn't yk) sucks ass at board games and often rage quits it whenever forced to play
After the mafia it became a running prank to walk up to your friends and say "where's your invis." In the most serious tone you can do and most times they immediately pot invis on the spot like reflex
The mafia had a subdivision used to do experiment on redstone and push them to it's limits, branzy was actually apart of the sub division + representation during meetings
Flame and lomedy first actually met there but they didn't know it was eachother and only lomedy figured out that they knew eachother
The mafia developed it's own code and measurement system so like "3 bases more" would be like 30,000 blocks away so people could figure out how much more they need to travel (people still use it to this day)
Minute was a respected parental figure gure among the diamond trims many of them would freeze on the spot if ashswag said he was calling minute, like when a teacher says they'll call a coach in a room filled with sport kids
Wifes when he was unwilling in the mafia somehow got access to drugs and made 2 diamond, 6 gold and several iron trims high, it was a God damn bloodbath when the hangover kicked in
Eggchan was a urban legend for knowing a strange amount of things as a extremely low level solider
I think that's it, I'll add more next time byeeeeee
- clevie (●♡∀♡)
Hey hey welcome back I might steal some of these
Type shit bro he has like ummm aa a diamond trim sense dude like he can detect them because he's just cool like that
She's so me (is it okay to write marlowww as a uu character seperate from dangermario cuz come on man I had such a good design for her)
That's actually hilarious dude I can see people doing that... I'm snatching that holy bruh
OH HELL YEAH BRANZYCRAFT!!?! HE'S JUST COOL LIKE THAT BTW
Oou that's interesting :o how did Lomedy find out? Voice?
Ah yes that's interesting, it's cool seeing how the invis mafia still impacts the server
I like to think they sort of looked up to Minute in a way because he was just the nicest there and they liked his company
???😭😭 What the heck bro how did what why were there drugs in unstable
That's funny. Some random copper trim being an urban legend
