invidiuals of my boy under the cut <3 Maximilien Astor I'm so sorry i haven't made you a skin in. the entire time you've been an mcoc of mine... hm. Better late than never? Probably 'lina next. maybe. i mean. they are... married. Kinda. I mean, they never got divorced, so. y'know. Well. anyway. would make sense!
I made a sim long before i made him for reals. so. here's the ref:
it's pretty close, ngl! Thank you planet minecraft and your generous 'skinners'. quick question. who came up with that as the title for making mc skins. and why. skinning something means to remove its skin. horrible thought, no thank you. Vaguely disturbing mental images aside, the hard work is appreciated!!
Oh, and the other turnarounds. for posterity's sake. i'm not really any good at animating.
... glances left and right.... okay, they're all gone.
quick. MCYT headcanons.
DSMP -
Some general backstory, appearance, and hybrid status headcanons.
Wilbur;
Only biological child Phil has with his wife, Lady Death. Avian hybrid, magpie.
Wings start out mostly white, gain black feathers over time. At the start of the DSMP, they're fully white.
Dumbass doesn't shower or wash his clothes (gross - also literally canon, alas), so the same goes for his wings - they get pretty dirty.
Wilbur can hide his wings at will and does so when the black feathers start getting noticeable during the Pogtopia era. He dies with them hidden, but they manifest upon loss of life. Mostly black, with a white stripe through the middle, horizontal.
Ghostbur doesn't have wings. He has little black feathers in his hair, though, mostly hidden within the curls. Revival makes him unable to hide his wings. They're ragged and unable to fly, even once cared for. They're fully black, seeming to accrue soot from nowhere constantly for the first few months. Afterwards, they reset to a jagged white stripe through the horizontal middle, which dirties to cream.
His fingers are stained with gunpowder he can't get rid of, but they don't seem to be dangerous because he doesn't stop smoking. (alternatively, he doesn't care).
Wilbur requires skin grafts, the tone slightly different from his own, and the skill of stitching somewhat amateur. His hair is the same as before death, though the tone is more ashen - peppered with grey. There's a white streak at the front, a large and unavoidable chunk of dead, old hair. Overtime turns cream because, again - dumbass doesn't shower.
His jumper is the same one he died in. bothered to stitch up the front, but not the back, which is hidden under his jacket. He used an old L'Manberg flag, tattered but not faded, to patch up the hole in his coat. He never bothers to remove the old bandage tied around his arm, so there's a fun little bloodstained bit of cloth hiding a slash in the fabric. Again, Wilbur and self-care have never become acquainted.
His old glasses have been replaced with red lenses because of a newly gained sunlight sensitivity after over a decade in the dark subway station of limbo*.
*it's something he remembers only vaguely from his childhood, a school trip to some NYC SMP or somewhere else in some other American-born land, somewhere that's a big enough city for an underground rail system. It blends with Wilbur's memories of the London Underground from the few times he visited the various Londons of various SMP Earths. It smells like Utah, like the old gas station convenience store he worked at for a short stint. Cigarettes and cleaning fluid.
Basically; Wilbur's hybrid status goes Dove -> Magpie -> Crow... ish. It goes back to Magpie Post-Return to Utah/DSMP Reset, and stays that way.
Look of wings is dependent mostly on his age; Phill went through a similar process. It's an Angel thing.
Wilbur's a little different, though, because he's not a human-turned-angel or a born-angel or whatever. He's nephilim, technically. Also a demigod, because of Kirsten, Lady Death, and all.
Wilbur is not human - he just looks it. Phill may once have been human, but he was Lady Death's Angel of Death when they had Wil, so ergo wilbur is 1/2 Angel, 1/2 God. This allows for the circumstances of Fundy's birth (also just him being intersex in general would do that, but... yk. Fundy is also a goddamn fox, so, not exactly normal stuff going on here. I have Fundy as a kind of changeling/fae being because i have Sally as a fae/shapeshifter, to preserve some of my sanity. Wilbur might've been fucked by a fish, but that's just a crass way of saying he had sex with a lady who spends most of her time in freshwater rivers... I am not literally canonically having him perform acts of bestiality. I refuse.)
Quackity;
While the duck q is fun (the idea actually is kind of like... interesting? Like the whole point is that people think nothing of ducks they think they're harmless and kind of cute and it's like - the ideas of perception vs what a person is actually like and its neat in its own way - it's like, BITCH YOU THOUGHT? and he eats his dead husband's heart like that's. juicy. there's a lot of meat on that bone. however i think fandom has sunk their teeth in so deep only the marrow's left so i go a different path. but i'm ok with duck hybrid q when it's not used Weirdly, i just don't use it myself) I like to use it as a decoy, you know, a false assumption - a red herring, so; not a duck hybrid. And I go with pretending to be a duck hybrid because it gets him underestimated but also because the actual kind of hybrid he is gets poor treatment because if you're going to society something then go full fucking hog guys! If hybrids and societal norms about hybrids exist and assumptions are made about a person's nature because of their assumed status then go the whole mile, not just a short walk. Anyway he's like an 1/8th human 1/2 siren and the rest sea dragon. And yes. He's an obligate carnivore. Hehe >:).
The fact of the matter is that sirens (and to an extent, dragons also) eat people and he's not wanting to deal with that particularly negative preconception. (Like. Re: Social ramifications and the unexplored nature of hybrids in MCYT fics that take SMP Earths as canon; If your species is inherently predatory to humankind and its ilk then how would that get you treated in a human-dominant society hello?????
I guess I'm cribbing a bit from zootopia here but humans are both predators and prey like... would cannibalistic species be forced to register because its basically assumed they're all murderers?)
Q's an obligate carnivore but can consume plants with little to no trouble, depending on the plant. has a strong hold on his instincts but can easily be pushed into instability and some pretty bad actions by his draconian instincts... like if, say, his husband, like, dies. or his best friend. Hoarding tendencies are most often aimed at people, which is problematic. does like shiny things and has an innate preference for armour, though the armour doesn't have to be literal. protective instincts can flip to negative pretty easily. tends towards obsession. violent/pugnacious, vents most of this through language use but doesn't have a good handle on his temper (mostly a him thing). poor self-awareness is just a him thing, though. and some of his behaviours are more linked to trauma (lack of trust) than nature (cannibalism. oops.)
Quackity got to the DSMP via Captain Puffy's boat. He's the son of one of her crewmen, a sea-dragon hybrid, and a siren he met while at sea. they both died to a tsunami on her home island*, in service of saving their son.
*His dad was a sailor and the human/sea dragon, his mum the siren, they lived on her island for a few years until Big Storm. Q survived. Technically immortal bc. Sirens and sea dragons are immortal. But also Not because humans aren't. Complicated.
Immortal in the long lived sense. Can be killed. Easily. That 1/8th human is a bitch!
Roughly 1/8th human, 3/8th dragon, 1/2 siren.
Tubbo -
BLOND
HE IS BLOND
THAT TEENAGER. IS A BLOND PERSON. LOOK AT HIM.
4. HE. IS. BLOND. I am not going crazy!!!!!! Stop saying he's not blond!!!! he is!!!! It does not matter what the cc looks like and never has. Just take Rythian Enderborn as proof of that. Mumbo K Jumbo. I could go on. But my point stands. Tubbo is blond. Whatever the cc looks like is IRRELEVANT.
5. Annoyed rant over now. anyway.
6. humanoid shapeshifter. can't change very much; flips between fully human, goat-horned, or with bee antennae. By the Reset, he's settled into sticking with both at the same time, though startling him can change their placement/shape/size.
JSchlatt -
I elongate the timeline of the DSMP. Ic it's something like months - i make it take a few years, like it did IRL, because the improv nature made the aging up of the cc!s apply in-story (mostly for the younger lot, like Tommy and Tubbo), and that doesn't make sense otherwise (Having the rest of the characters stay the same age while they grow up would be weird. I mean, Nikki even has a birthday, so aging is canon to the story where it isn't canon to something like the YogsMC Tekkit/FTB timeline (though is to SOI - we do meet Old Peculiar, after all, and then in YL we meet Old Honeydew and Xephos...) so maybe not a great example. But Still!).)
He's 21 when he arrives, and dies at 23, instead of the canonical 21. This is so i can have Ghost Stories by the Narcissist's Cookbook apply, as in, be from his perspective, at least a little. Do I care if this makes sense? No. Leave now if you think the DSMP has any truly, wholly good characters. I do not. Every single one of them is nuanced in one way or another, some of them worse and some of them better, but none of them directly good, except maybe Slime. I'm only talking about the ones that got directly involved with the storylines. If someone didn't come up (get involved), then they don't exactly 'count'. (It's like Minty Minute in yogsmc. Like, she was there! in the tekkit timeline! but does anyone know this? No! We never saw her! People forget she was a character... Do think a lot of the at-the-time sjips fans wrote her out on purpose, and now it's a sort of, well, her only real tie was that she was dating sjin, and THAT is a whole bag of worms these days, so just... write her out... but that's lazy. I don't like that! She was only really relevant to a few episodes of blackrock she didn't even appear in anway. I'd tie her more to that squad than to anyone else.)
ANYWAY
Dies of 'broken heart syndrome' because i love angst
Is a wolf/sheep hybrid. 1/2 human, 1/4 wolf, 1/4 sheep, i guess. Nobody was fucking any animals though, don't get it twisted. Genetic experiments are really common in MC worlds. Splicing is a dime a dozen. (He's also not actually any of these things, but he doesn't know that. Amnesia!)
His mum was a wolf hybrid, his dad was a ram hybrid.
People don't know the wolf part, because it's antithetical to his desires to scam people with schlattcoin if they think he's going to eat them.
The wolf part gives him still human-normal sharper canines, and his need for a high protein diet, hence the preference for shakes and steaks.
The only outward signs of the hybrid status are that, his keratin ram horns and rectangular pupils. People usually clock the ram immediately, and don't look for anything else.
Also, yes, I couldn't resist the wolf in sheep's clothing idea once it came to me. sue me. that's so funny.
After revival; his eyes are silver, like the colour's been bleached out (they were golden, before.). His hair's a little lighter, faded. There's a few streaks of white. His facial hair gets the most salt amongst the pepper, but it's not nearly as noticeable as Wilbur's state because it's a whole new body given... er, what happened to the. Last one. Yeah. Anyway, given his preferred facial hair style, it's not the most noticeable thing in the world.
His horns are very curled, having grown in limbo or from the revival spell (? or something else....) sharp at the point and clearly uncared for from nearly 2 decades in limbo, though they recover over time, the colour fade from brown to beige is now a grey-ish brown, faded, to white at the point.
(working for Quackity, given he lost the bet, he does have to look at least presentable.)
After Las Nevadas falls, there's not really much of anyone left around other than Q, JS, and Slime. Schlatt sticks around, for lack of anything else to do. Also, inability to leave. (Because. reasons.) Q's not in a good place - I mean, we literally watched him hit rock bottom. When Slime. Pushed him off a cliff.
Which according to cc talk he survived, so. YK.
They're... healthier, than they used to be. That's not saying much. They used to abuse each other; anything would be healthier than that.
A 23 (43) year old ex-dead guy and his ex-husband (that forced him to marry him via beating him up when he changed his mind at the alter (rude but literally nothing is abuse worthy) and stay that way via no divorce clause) are the only two people left alive that don't actively want to kill each other in their lives! whooppee!
It goes okay.
It stops going, because Reset! Whatever progress they made is gone. Like it never happened. But it did, of course. Amnesia. Again.
the Reset is a reset.
Post-Reset Schlatt is a mix of his selves. The colouring of pre-death, with red eyes, darker hair. Clothes and facial hair of post-nukes. He remembers more than he and Dream agreed upon, but that's the price you pay for this kind of wipe, and Dream knew that.
Schlatt is an interdimensional demon of vices, deals, weather, and other things.
He's this way because of Slime, but Charlie doesn't remember that either. The Reset didn't fix him. He was already here and an amnesiac before The Reset. It's been a long time since the days of godhood for him, and longer still since the zombie apocalypse. But he did find Tommy, eventually. Just not the right one. And he wasn't the right Charlie, anymore, either.
It's a moot point, really.
Back to Schlatt.
And to Charlie.
They remember each other, in the way you can imagine two now-mortals would remember a godly feud between sometimes-friends of aeons ago. Schlatt, being tied to a deal with Dream regarding this SMP and the life he was falsely leading beforehand while he waited for things to play out regarding Charlie (he hadn't known Charlie was here, or he wouldn't have joined the new world), is unable to return Charlie's full powerset to him. Might not have been able to, anyway, since it was Charlie who made him the being he is in the first place. Metaphysical realities of gods and reality and life and death and power and mortality are difficult to quantify. Charlie Slimecicle made JSchlatt. JSchlatt made Charlie Slimecicle.
At this point, locked away from most of what went down, the memories inaccessible or to fuzzy to matter, they call a truce.
For some levity. I like to think those animatics to Betray Somebody actually happened. Schlatt just complaining about Q not being his type while there's a giant mural of them on the wall is so so so funny. he's so terriblepathetic.
Also, as another sidenote; probably a plant's pumpkinduo / pumpkinhusbands animatics make me very sad. I hc them as some kind of canonical too, in a roundabout way. I think the song choices really fit them both. also that particular mountain goats song is very 'youre both terrible never bring anyone else into your relationship' and i'm glad its associated with pumpkinhusbands. Absolute fucking disasters*. They're so entertaining.
(*Most act as if q was solely the victim and poor little woobie-fy him but that's.... straight up not the case? He proposed to Schlatt and then beat him up when the guy said no and then snuck a clause into some document or another Schlatf had to sign that legally barred him from seeking a divorce like guy trapped schlatt in that marriage. No wonder he reacted like a cornered animal yk. His drinking problem wasn't really a thing at the start - the experience of being Manburg's president and forcibly married against his will is what caused the downward spiral. He was evil and high on power at first ngl abt that but... mans died from a heart attack at twenty-one. Drank too much and died from fucking broken heart syndrome like. Jeez. What a way to cut a life short. No wonder he uses his last words to insult Q though.
Still.
They deserve each other really because they're both kind of terrible people. Manberg (Manburg?) made a reasonably healthy couple into a living nightmare. But that's what absolute power does, as they say. Corrupt absolutely.)
That got off topic swiftly. Anyway.
Tommy -
literal devil child. Literal. It's so funny
Schlatt's son. Yeah. I dad!schlatt headcanon. Just not in the usual way.
Neither of them know this and it stays that way for the entire series. Post-Reset Schlatt has some inkling, but not a lot. (A mistake while he attended college - the same one as Wil, incidentally, which is how they know each other - but she wasn't blonde, so.)
(Her mother was.)
(So was his.)
This is visible from the very start, btw. Little red horns, devil tail. It's so on the nose and easy to make jokes about, and it is funny, as a literal manifestation of his gremlin child menace to society energy.
(Obviously nobody makes the connection to Schlatt, who is a very jersey devil type demonic incarnation, though more ram than goat, whilst Tommy is what a kid would draw if they were told 'draw a demon'. Red horns, pointy tail, mostly human. Cartoon caricature of a demon.)
Obviously, though, this does get pushback. Society is not likely to treat literal demons all that great, given it's tendency to demonise even 'normal' people. See. Even the word, in a world where demons are people too, and real, specifically, becomes itself a kind of bigotry, doesn't it? Becomes itself a kind of tool of societal control. Demons are inherently evil, being evil is demonic, etc.
Tommy is an orphan, in the sense that he was placed in an orphanage as a child. He grew up in a Europe SMP, ended up moving around various SMP Earths and more focused country/region SMPs. This is how he met Tubbo, Quackity, Schlatt, and Wilbur, in that order.
Tubbo, Q, Schlatt - they all met each other through knowing Tommy. Neat bit of trivia; if Tommy hadn't been invited to the DSMP, they simply wouldn't have met.
Canonically, Q helps Tommy and Tubbo and Wil (? can't quite remember which of those two were involved, if Wil was I mean) run the drug trade van L'Manberg originally was. This means Tommy knows Q can do this, this means Tommy knows Q knows a thing or two about the drug trade, this means Tommy knows a thing or two about the drug trade and has contacts in the drug trade, what the fuck, kids, when did that happen.
Q is 19 when he arrives on the shores of the DSMP. He met Tommy in a Juvie server, when Tommy was 14 and Q was 17. They had entirely the wrong energies to get along with most of the other people, but Tommy and Q were quick friends. Also Q can be a pretty protective guy, really, and what was a 14 year old doing in juvie?
Casual murder, obviously. He had to get that tendency from somewhere, or what on earth was he doing killing George as like his first real action in Dream's little nation?
See; people often fall to expectations. Demons are evil. Tommy's never known any different. It wasn't casual murder, but that's what he was convicted for. Why else would the server have a lifesteal mechanic if not to be used? Plus, respawn exists, so it's no more a crime than punching them in the face; leaves as much of a lasting impact.
(Tommy doesn't really know how respawn works, at 14. Mostly because its different for everyone, and whilst a lot of people have it work the say way as each other, that's not exactly saying much. 20 people could have the same respawn system, as could 20 million, but the multiverse is infinite and ever expanding. Respawn works differently for everyone across every World is the easiest thing to say, and the most accurate.)
Honestly, Q pretty much agreed with him.
Anyway. That's that for now. Stay tuned for more. Maybe. At some point. Hey, you've seen what they look like on another post. Maybe i'll add to that too idk. Those sims are still a wip.
should post this to my simblr really. not gonna. mcoc. post it here for posterity's sake.
Dr. Apollina Soteira. 1 Doctorate of Psychology in the year 1832 on SMP-Earth-#9,331,004-1. Therapist & Field Medic [Dr. Soteira gained an M.D. at some unknown point between leaving her home server and joining the war effort] for the Anarchist Revolution* helmed by Maximilien Astor, c. 219,999-220,000 on SMP-Tyranny-#456,123-1 for 3 months until summary execution by revolutionary leader and then-husband Maximilien Astor for conspiracy to betray faction ideals. [Note: voted against killing the then 5 year old son of the Emperor by standing between the child and Astor's gun. Cause of death was an iron bullet to the brain, through the right eye.].
[*Entitled a revolution, Maximilien Astor's faction was rather more an Anarchist coup, as Mr. Astor had once been high-ranking in the military of his nation. Consider him, if you will, akin to a fusion of Robespierre and Napoleon in action, but with rather more Militant Anarchist motivations - and outcomes.]
This picture was taken roughly 3 personally-chronological years post-second-mortem**, on SMP-Masquerade-#100-2.
[**Dr. Soteira lives her current existence as a vampire, and has done so since the year 1835 on SMP-Earth-#9,331,004-1, whence she was turned by a man known only as The Count in all historical records.]
The method of capture, and reason for visual distortion, is unknown, as since all current photographic technology requires iron, and Dr. Soteira's existence is generally incompatible with the metal, being supernatural in nature***.
[***Common understanding of the Supernatural indicates iron as deadly to fae beings solely, whilst others - namely, as is relevant, vampires - have aversions to silver. Contrary to this notion, it appears Dr. Soteira's home Server's brand of Supernatural existence consolidated all weaknesses to iron, thus Dr. Soteira is capable of things such as seeing herself in mirrors made of any metal other than iron, but incapable of things such as wearing standard defensive gear - iron armour and shields are deadlier than simply getting shot would be [as most use flint for their arrows or firework rockets, not iron bullets - guns are a rare commodity exclusive to certain Servers. It is likely her home Server had no such thing, in fact - but I digress]. One must research the occult of her home World to understand the eccentric intricacies and rules of her unnatural status, as it may be in direct contrast to the laws and guidelines one may have in their own Server, and such an oversight could be deadly if one were to find themselves in direct conflict with a Vampire of her ilk.]
