#A1 - Desperate for Praise for my Daquavis Into-Situations Challenge
Daquavis is only twenty-three years old and over a thousand miles away from home when the world ends.
(just a little snippet of the zombie apocalypse AU under the cut)
"Hey idiot—" Dream shouts, his large form suddenly blocking the omnious orange light upon the ever-blazing horizon. Growling, his friend takes a big swing at something that had been lunging his way—intercepting it with a swift hit of his crowbar.
It takes him a moment to realize, through his tears and sorrow, that he'd almost become zombie chow.
It's a gruesome sight, seeing his friend beat that poor thing to death. The hollow sounds of it's suffering, the solid crack of it's bones and the gruesome splatter of stale blood—rotten flesh.
It makes him want to hurl.
As does his shame.
Daquavis' tears continue on through it all and he sits, stock-still, on his soggy log, as he'd been doing for the past hour or so.
He knows his friend has finished the job when his form looms over him again, blocking out the light. Daquavis keeps his head down, studying Dream's dirty sneakers, trying to stay quiet.
"Moron, if you're gonna be sitting outside by yourself, at least keep an eye on your surroundings. I thought I wouldn't have to remind you, of all people."
Sniffling, Daquavis rubs at his eyes and nose. His throat is still tight, so the small 'yeah' he lets out sounds shakey. He's not sure why he can't stop tearing up lately. Actually, he does know why, it's just that he'd rather keep lying to himself.
As if finally realizing that he's maybe not doing great right now, Dream's large hand gently comes to rest on his shoulder. "Hey—"
"It's okay—" Daquavis interrupts his friend's pitying voice, still keeping his face down so he can keep his tear-stained face to himself. "I'm okay. I'm not hurt."
Dream huffs, hand squeezing his shoulder. "Look at me."
"No!"
"Look. At. Me."
It's an order this time. Dream has been giving a lot of those lately. Daq isn't sure how he feels about that—conflicted. He's glad to have a leader, but not so happy at being told what to do to ensure their communal survival.
"Daquavis."
The hand on his shoulder grips him tighter, until it's almost painful. Flinching, he squawks, pushing Dream away and bolting back towards the main house. He doesn't want to deal with this right now.
First fic from me for Daquavis situations event :D

teen and up audiences
no archive warnings apply :3
If there's one situation in which even the smallest amount of common sense would permit survival, it's traversing a mountainside right after a goddamn hurricane blows through.
Unfortunately, common sense sometimes gets in the way of careful survival, such as the human need for, you know, food, which is why Daquavis is currently carefully making his way down the soggy mountain roads toward the town in the valley below.
While the hurricane that just hit was severe, there's been a surprising shortage of flooding, especially compared to the storms of last year, which means the roads are secure and the towns are still stocked with supplies, making his travel down the mountainside… monotonous, if anything.

Daquavis gets caught in a flash flood
READ HERE OR IN TITLE LOL
Reblogs are ALWAYS appreciated even if you don't read the fic! :D Taglist below the cut! Ask me if u wanna be added to/removed from the taglist :3
Rebuilding after the end of the world is constant, emotionally-taxing, back-breaking work and Sapnap does what he can to help out.
Feeling far from home, Daquavis needs some of that help.
#N1 - Zombie Apocalypse for Sapnap+Winter + #A2 - WILD CARD for my Into Situations ft. Daquavis Challenge.
Finally got around to finishing up another part of this AU! The art is technically related to another part of the story that hasn't been published yet, but it still works with the current fic.
Real fans remember that I've already posted a little Daq-POV ficlet related to this AU as well: Heartbroken
Welcome to the first ever 'put that man INTO situations' Challenge ft. Daquavis
Since Daquavis seems to enjoy bad things happening to him, suffering, and being challenged to escape or beat difficult situations, I propose this fan-lead creative challenge to put him INTO those situations.
He always manages to escape in his own self-insert scripts, but this time, you're in control! Does he manage to overcome the desperate situation you've put him in? That's up to you.
You can make up your own situations, or use this BINGO sheet to challenge yourself. No event window, just start making things!
💜↓↓ Before posting, please read our challenge guidelines below ↓↓🖤
💜Challenge Timeline🖤
TODAY: Make your BINGO sheet, then start creating and posting your artworks using the #intosituationsftdaq tag.
DEADLINE: Think of it as an open challenge. This event will continue on as long as there's interest & art being posted! Could be three weeks, could be three months - you decide how long we continue to make him suffer!
💜Guidelines🖤
Fills should feature Daquavis (c! or CC) as a central character.
He should also be getting into trouble.
Any ships allowed (bring on the rare pairs and crackships!).
RPF (Real Person Fiction) is allowed, but please respect the CCs' privacy and DO NOT use leaked or doxxed info.
You can use any type of media you want to fill the prompts (as long as it is your own creation!) Feel free to get creative with the format!
Fills don't need to have a certain level of 'completion'--they can be doodles, drabbles, meta posts, etc.
Fills should be previously unpublished works - feel free to polish off a WIP if it fills a prompt!
This is a casual challenge, you can fill as many or as few prompts as you wish.
You may complete fills for multiple prompts at once, and even in tandem with other challenges/events (as long as they allow it as well).
No AI usage allowed for any fills. Using AI directly contradicts the goal of this challenge (working your creativity and exploring new avenues of fandom).
Tag and trigger-warn your content according to platform guidelines.
NSFW is allowed but should use appropriate maturity labels or be put behind a cut.
This is a fan space, run by and made for fans; CCs turn back.
Absolutely no harassment of or negativity towards artists. Be nice, kind and civil: this is a place of celebration!
💜How to Participate🖤
Generate your BINGO sheet (if you'd like one).
Select some prompts and start on your creative work! See if you can get a BINGO by filling three prompts in a line or a diagonal. The center square is a wildcard.
Submit your creation:
💙On Tumblr
post your creations using the #intosituationsftdaq tag (and @ me so I can see it!).
if your creative work is long, please put the length of it behind a read-more cut.
you can add your BINGO sheet to your post to show off how much of the challenge you've done so far!
❤️On AO3
Add your fills to the SituationsftDaquavis collection.
Want to post on another platform? Feel free to do so!
💜Using the BINGO sheet🖤
The BINGO sheet is an optional part of this challenge, it's here to help you find ideas for putting Daquavis into hard spots, AND challenge you to make art that would fulfil three prompts in a line.
There are three prompt lists that can be added or removed from the BINGO sheet: Daquavis, Situations and NSFW. The NSFW list is un-toggled by default.
Select the lists you wish to use, generate your sheet, click on specific squares to 're-roll' them, and then export it or screen-capture it to save your sheet!
Now, how will YOU put him into a situation?
Have other questions about the Challenge? Feel free to reach out!

A private message from Jude appears in his retinal implant: Pretend to hide, I’ll trap them.
Chained together at the ankle, Daquavis and Judelow get cornered by a majorly pissed-off Dream (and Skeppy). How will they manage to get away this time? Can their quick wits save them?
