4 years since cogchamps

I'm highly amused by the fact that when they started Cogchamps they decided the teams would be 5up + Tubbo and Ranboo + Fundy because that's who they were most familiar with and now 5up + Fundy and Tubbo + Ranboo are best friends

OK HEAR ME OUT...

heres how we can connect dream smp, cogchamps and osmp for fundy using headcanons and without contradicting his canon lore

we take the hc that during his year away, fundy went to cogchamps. thats where he became a god of creation since he created his own server and established cogchamps, discovered everything that came with the mod

add to that, the hc that after he came back to dsmp he would astral project to cogchamps so that he could still visit his friends

next hc is that with the finale of cogchamps, he travels to osmp to use as his escape from dsmp

since he didnt create the server, he isnt a god there

now lets add the hc that on dsmp, hes a fox hybrid and he can shapeshift between his human form and fox form, right

so on osmp, even tho he lost his godlihood (godlyhood?) his body was still affected which is why he has the powers he has from his origin

the reason hes a kitsune and not a regular fox is because hes still astral projecting. kitsune are fox spirits, so in osmp the fundy we see is his spirit

and since him in osmp is an astral projection it doesnt affect his physical body in dsmp which is why he doesnt have his osmp powers in dsmp

boom

if anything doesnt make sense, its because i thought of all of this on the spot you are welcome

Writing requests hmmmm how would you feel about something Cogchamp related? Idk enough about them to be more specific but I like their vibes. Alternately some good old Fundy hurt/comfort is always fun, plus it matches my general brand lmao - fwt anon

fwt my beloved <33 the reason why the fundywastaken / fundy portion of my masterlist is like, an entire page long. here to deliver, as always. now, and this is gonna be groundbreaking, but what if we do.. both :0 cogchamp and hurt/comfort fundy, bc i really like the headcanon that cogchamp is either fundy’s dream world, not the nightmare one from the lore stream, but the solace (the.. other side,, so to speak /j) OR it’s the place he went to when he left dream smp for a while,,

edit: it ended up more character study-y? but there’s like, strong hints of cogchamps. and trust me that there’s a happy ending i just wasn’t sure where to go from here so i decided to leave it off. besides. it was getting long and this was from a while ago now so..

87,301 minutes, and counting. it’s been roughly 87 thousand minutes since fundy last slept, if he remembers correctly. he remembers waking up atop his base (when he clearly remembers falling asleep in his bed inside) drenched to the bone in sweat, panting around breaths that felt like too much and not enough at the same time. he remembers, far too vividly, the shadowed figure that chased him in his dreams (are they just dreams?). so vividly that for half a second he was terrified it had followed him to the land of the waking (who’s to say that it’s not?) despite the sun nearly blinding him when he opened his eyes.

he remembers… what else does he remember?

after taking a few moments to ground himself, he simply went down and began packing his bags, thinking about how he had just finished settling back in, too. he doesn’t remember if he left a note, but it’s not like it matters anyway. no one would’ve checked up on him, except maybe hbomb. he would have liked to say goodbye to him, at least. or maybe bring him with him. that place would do him good. he’d love it there just as much as fundy did, but not more.

too late now though. he’s miles away from home. home. is that place still home? or is he just trying to convince himself that it is, just like he tries to convince himself of many things associated with that place, and those people. should home feel like a hollowed-out part in his chest? like drowning without ever touching water?

or is home the place he’s going to now; a place of fun and adventure and people who love him and care for him and don’t abandon him like all the others–

that instead, he abandons instead.

he hisses a sigh, shutting his eyes tightly as if he could shut out the guilt that washed over him like waves. they were good. fundy’s not met such good people in so long. the land of the dream smp speaks of pain and betrayal and everything that they don’t deserve to feel, because they’re good people. and fundy still feels like he’s taking advantage of that goodness every time he allows himself to feel happy with them.

yet, here he is, crawling back anyway.

he arrives at cogchamps late at night. around 2:30 am if his calculations were correct. they should still be asleep; peaceful, unburdened. fundy wonders what that’s like. wonders how long it’s been since he’s had a proper good night’s sleep. since before the revolution, it must be. but his time at cogchamps with them fought hard to get it back. here, there was no pain. just two people and the world at their fingertips.  the first time he fell asleep smushed between them was the first night in years he’s properly fallen asleep. maybe that’s why he wanted to come back.

he hopes that since there isn’t home for him back there, that there still is one here.
