I don’t know if I ship it necessarily but I do think leopardstar/stonefur could have been an interesting concept in that it would give an extra twisted dimension to the bone hill scene and how much leopard was under tigerstars control and influence. Although obviously it’s already a very dark scene so Idk.
Okay okay, I know there are already several AU’s here but fuck it.
Pogtopia v Manburg.
Except it’s not: They fight for like two days and no one dies then Schlatt dies from a heart attack. I love it. It’s very funky.
But imagine a like, war war that cannot be achieved on a white listed minecraft server. As in, Dream SMP is a country and Manburg and Pogtopia are newly made countries because Wilbur and Tommy can’t go back to the main land but they’re exiled from Manburg so off to just pass the border they go and people slowly join them because it’s a country and actually has a population?
And just, potential.
People instantly get annoyed at Tubbo for everything he does. Especially those who voted Schlatt. There are rumours of him being a traitor long before there’s any proof. He sometimes vanishes without reasons for months on end then comes back and “Oh! I was building a bee farm :)"
Groups of people Wilbur was meant to protect when L'manburg first came to be making travels to reach Pogtopia even though the only proof of it’s existence is the whisphers in the wind and the troops send in that direction. On the way there’s a bakery. The owner (Niki) always seems to know the quickest way to Pogtopia and the news on how it’s doing. She secretly helps this rebellion. Her mines lead directly too Pogtopia after all.
Public scorn on Fundy for taking down the flag in the first few days. Everyone is still celebrating or mad over the election. There are screeches calling him Eret.
When Techno first comes, people get crazy. The rebellion is coming quicker than it actually is. It’s coming! Then, nothing happens and so many people are imprisoned. There is no sign from Wilbur and Tommy. Niki’s bakery is shut.
The next big event to happen is the festival. It’s made a public holiday. Everyone has a day off, it’s a day to celebrate. Fireworks are for sale. Hell even The Blade is there. Newspapers are having a wonderful day. Then Tubbo is executed and Pogtopia exists and they thought they were hallucinating the figures on the rooftop.
And that’s where it all really kicks off :)
The rumours are no more. Pogtopia exists and Niki has vanished. All of the founders have vanished and the fragile peace is broken. Before anyone really knows what’s going on Manburg and the SMP have an alliance. The one thing they swore never to do. People are held back mainly by fear. No one cares for the cause. There dying left and right. Schlatt is making terrible decisions in the haze of booze and Quackity, the only person left on the government they can trust has ran off.
That isn’t to say Pogtopia isn’t doing so hot.
It’s starts good actually. They start a little eco-system and it’s like a mini-Manburg. Everyone there is content with it. Taking back Manburg was always the point but Pogtopia is a lot of peoples new home. It’s a ravine with little tunnels and the kid who bounds in the morning with pots and pans that there’s no sleep in Pogtopia and Wilbur rolling his eyes because they can rest when they get Manburg back.
I don’t fully understand what made Wilbur decide, let’s be the bad guys and I do not want to villainise him and make him irredeemable. So I’m just going to leave this blank until some tumblr analysis explaining why turns up on my feed but it happens.
Wilbur is reclusive and no one knows what’s going on with him. The only person he’ll talk to is Tommy and maybe Techno. For a figurehead, he’s doing a terrible job. Tommy is doing his best to keep morale high. Everyone knows he yells at Wilbur through the door because he isn’t allowed in. The pit is a horror story told in Pogtopian beds to keep them in line. Techno’s dorky and the battle planner. He only really talks to the farmers and the people who grind with him. It isn’t exactly anarchy but it almost is.
Bored councils have meetings and they consist of everyone who was in the SMP. There the only ones a traitor could be between. No one apart from Tommy knows about the TNT plot. Tommy’s tried to tell people but he’s mainly brushed off as a kid telling stories.
It end like canon ends. L'manburg going boom boom but like. More real wars with Wilbur finding holes that lead to Pogtopia and shoving TNT down them because, everythings going in the end. Why does it matter? And this goes on for years. Pogtopia stretching into Manburg while having to fight for it
it’s been a while since I watched Manburg v Pogtopia and even longer since
One of the longest cold opens in TV history provided production and costume design opportunities for Tennant's demon and Sheen's angel.
Crowley, who morphed into human form from a serpent, maintains a fashion-forward, goth look, eventually settling into a Keith Richards vibe with John Lennon-like spectacles to hide his snake eyes. Aziraphale prances around in off-white with gold highlights and over sized shoulders and lapels resembling angel wings. He embraces the Victorian-era fashion pretty much into modern times.
...
Anderson looked to Pre-Raphaelite paintings of the ancient world from Victorian England for the early encounters up through the togas. “Crowley has a snaky skin texture to his robe or gown, and, by the time we get to the togas, he’s got a serpent staff and a thing holding his toga together,” she said. “Aziraphale’s got a golden ring that gets transferred to a signet ring by the Victorian era.”
The Globe Theater, of course, was a godsend. It was a ready-made set for Crowley and Aziraphale to discuss the tweaking of “Hamlet” with Shakespeare. “I don’t think anyone missed out on feeling the weight of making a piece within the performance space, which is, in many ways, the first great theater,” Ralph said. “As you could well imagine, we were limited by time and by the fabric of the location. We could produce ground coverage and played with what was there. It was a matter of breaking it down slightly by using leaves or rubble on the ground to give ourselves a little bit more of an edge to it, and to remove anything that was tourist friendly and gave us more of the period to work with.”
Anderson was lucky to play dress up with The Globe’s immense archive of costumes. Crowley and Aziraphale both look dashing in their silks. “Aziraphale reflects the color of his later wardrobe with a golden, metallic look, and the hint of blue will become the blue of his contemporary shirt,” she said. “It’s reflective of his flamboyant and luxurious lifestyle on earth. By cleverly using heavy fabrics, we make him look living the good life. Crowley’s top half of his costume is a finer cut and his legs are slithery and long. We continue using his physicality to resemble his origins as a serpent.
...
For the Paris sequence during the Revolution, Anderson fitted Crowley in cunning Revolutionary garb while, despite his grubby-looking white jacket, Aziriphale looks luxurious with a lace collar and gold brocade running down his tailored sleeves. “Aziriphale’s taste gets refined, which is consistent with his angelic, golden quality, and Crowley is curled up in the corner of the cell like a snake,” she said.
Their meeting in St. James Park in 1863 represents an important turning point for Aziriphale. “This high Victorian fashion is when he settles into his look,” Anderson said. “Aziriphale’s top hat is like a feathery velvet. And he wears big lapels on his jacket, representing wings. He also has a little stopwatch with angel’s wings on the chain and a signet ring. Crowley wears a long-lined Victorian dress jacket cut to his physique. He also has a dark shirt with dark stock, so there’s no light in him at all. His glasses are early welders with a side piece and are tinted to prevent anyone from seeing his eyes.”
One of Ralph’s most creative sets was a church in South Africa for a World War II spy scene with undercover Nazi agents. “I designed these candles and had them along the edge of each pew so that we could light up the runway,” he said. “It gave us a much stronger perspective. In the middle of the staging at the front of the altar, I put a pulpit of my own, which was a large, sculptured eagle on a face that the bible was on.
“And I needed that for when it blows up so that I could have a visual tag to being in the destroyed church. That was a complicated build, strangely enough, because I built The Crucifixion with such large crosses up on the hill, that I used all the same crucifixes and twisted and burned them and put them in the background of the church.”
what colour is your soulmark?
gold : dot
considered a lucky colour to have, the gold soul colour is never short of achieving their goals & prospering. analytical, intelligent & cunning, the gold soul-colour is alluring to even those who aren’t their soulmate. you either envy them or hate them, there is no in between & they’re fine with that.
this colour has expensive tastes in materialistic things. they aren’t shy about showing off their achievements & wealth & they often lose themselves in materialistic things. bigger & better is their motto.
gold soulmarks can seem shallow & judgemental to those who don’t know them well. they’re not afraid to cut nuisance out of their life & don’t put up with different opinions than their own. they are known to indulge in self care often & they avoid things that stress them out as much as possible.
always knowing how to get what they want, the gold soul-colour surrounds themselves with people who are not going to stand in their way. they are usually surrounded by a small clique of people designed to lift their spirits with praise. they are also clingy to those who make them feel good & they are known for bending for those they deem important.

I’m curious to know why? Do we get a follow up?
Ursula K. Le Guin might very well be the most critically celebrated author of SFF, beloved of both the literary and genre worlds—and make no
thoroughly 😑 looks okay, sounds absolutely horrible
does thorough annoy you too or is it the ending that does it?
