Here’s my no internet ms paint sketchs, might make more of these

Oh shoot I just realized your ask box was closed crap-

Sorry, you don't need to answer my ask (or this one). I just got excited after I saw your drawing of tommy with that slime xD

- 🦊

It’s fine man lmao 

I have urge to DRAW-

One of the hermits builds a box strikingly similar to the one Tubbo was executed in

Tubbo is a fantastic helper for Zedaph’s wacky inventions, and it’s common now for him to visit the Cave of Contraptions to help with the excited hermit’s newest pointlessly brilliant machine, his Tommy in tow. They go everywhere together, and although Tommy is pointedly uninterested in redstone, he sits on the sidelines and laughs when a contraption goes wrong. (It’s all in good fun, Zedaph knows, and he laughs along.) 

Zedaph’s latest AND greatest machine is a Superman Armory, an invention that spins you around in a little box and automatically suits you up with enchanted gear before launching you up out of the Cave as if you were lifting off heroically. Zedaph had been on a superheros kick lately, and he was ecstatic to try this one out. 

Normally Tango would be his first choice in a guinea pig, but Zedaph had grown fond of the new kids and wanted them to be included in his “scientific” process. He’d already tested the launching bit, and nailed where to put a water stream exactly to catch the flying hermit. All he needed was someone to equip the armor to. 

He sent Tubbo a message, and after a day had gone by the kids arrived. They were oddly skittish about elytra and Nether travel, which meant it took much longer for them to get places, but Zedaph didn’t mind. He had lots of toys to play with while he waited. 

Zedaph made sure to dismantle his front door trap as the kids appeared on the horizon. It would be funny for any other hermit to be attacked and then have to travel all the way back from their spawn, but the new kids were extremely serious about death. Zedaph didn’t ask, it was not his place, but he made sure they were comfortable all the same. 

“Welcome, lads, to the Cave of CONTRAPTIONS!” Zedaph flourished opening the door to the Cave as the kids got close. Tubbo was already smiling, and Tommy was feigning being unimpressed as usual. 

“Boy, do I have a treat for you today!” Zedaph ushered them in, Tubbo comfortably arm in arm with Tommy as the taller boy looked around. Zedaph’s smile widened as he saw a glimmer of wonder in Tommy’s eyes at his many inventions. The boy may pretend the redstone wonders were boring, but Zedaph knew he was truly in awe at what the hermit was able to create. 

Zedaph lead the boys to his newest machine, bouncing on the balls of his feet in excitement. “Introducing the Superhero Launcher!” Zedaph pushed down the lever to fell the gravel sheet, revealing the golden shiny box in all its glory. 

The reaction was not at all what Zedaph was hoping for. Quite the opposite in fact. 

Tommy went white as a sheet as soon as the gravel broke, and a shockingly violent expression of rage and terror darkened his face. Tubbo stayed fairly excited and curious after the reveal, pointless because of his blindness, but confusion and fear crossed his expression as Tommy stiffened and shoved Tubbo behind him. 

“What the fuck are you pulling?” Tommy spat, his voice nearly imperceptibly trembling. Zedaph blinked, caught off guard by the sudden anger from the boy. “It--it’s my invention? I just need Tubbo to get in so I can check--” 

Tommy bared his teeth like a cornered animal as soon as Zedaph spoke, shutting him up instantly. Zedaph flinched as Tommy summoned his netherite axe. “Get the fuck back.” 

“Tommy, what--” Tubbo spoke behind his friend, clutching his arm with white-knuckled hands. “It’s a yellow box, Tubbo!!” Tommy exploded, not taking his eyes off of Zedaph. The words confused Zedaph, but hermit saw the exact same expression befall Tubbo’s face, the boy going so pale that his explosive scars stood out like a poppy in snow. 

“Tom, I don’t understand-” Zedaph tried, but stumbled back as Tommy swung his axe. “Bullshit!! You were going to kill him!!” The boy yelled, fury trembling in every muscle of his body. 

Zedaph started. “Wh--no!! Why would I kill Tubbo?! My inventions don’t kill people!!” He argued. “Well, the void chute does but that’s got safety measures on it--” He mumbled after a moment of thought. 

It was the wrong thing to say. 

Angry tears filled Tommy’s eyes, and with his other hand he summoned and Ender Pearl. “Hold on, Tubbo.” Tommy muttered, his bright blue eyes catching Zedaph’s soul in a paralyzing laser of hatred and fear. 

Before Zedaph could speak, Tommy launched the pearl through the opening in the Cave ceiling for the Superhero Launcher, and a split second later the boys disappeared with a puff of purple particles. 

Zedaph stared at the spot they once stood, his hands shaking. Confusion and guilt hammered against his brain until the noise was unbearable. 

With trembling fingers, he tried to focus enough to type into his communicator. 

<ZedaphPlays> /msg xisumavoid i need you. its the kids. 

<ZedaphPlays> /msg xisumavoid i messed up. 

Some hermit tommy au dialogue ideas because head empty (I’m not good at englishdkenkfj)

Tommy, Listening to Scar’s story: So...Apparently, you and Big G ran a mini human organ trafficking bizz for Cleo’s head? 

Scar: Well- Yes but actually no- It’s wasn’t too extreme but it’s just apart of activities and all in good fun. the game was formulated and coded that whenever you take someone’s head it would drop it instead of, you know, gore and such  [Now think about what I said It does sound like human organ trafficking out of context-]

Tommy: 

Scar: Please don’t take it the wrong way-

Tommy: I want in next time, Big man 

Scar: ... 

Scar: Tommy, you’re giving me a wary vision that the FBI might get involved

Grian: Alright so we’re going to bully Docm77 as a way for you to practice, and again, no swearing, softplay, nothing too harsh and um- creativity 

 Tommy: What if I don’t want to oblige? 

Grian: Do you want to be serverless?

Tommy: Touché Touché

[At Docm77′s base]

Tommy, pointing at Doc: YOU’RE A STAPHYLOCOCCUS and I don’t know what that word means so FEEL INSULTED!

Docm77: [*Visible confusion at the sassy rat child*] ...what? 

Grian: ......Good...job??

Dream SMP analyzers be like 

power is power, and not everyone is powerful

when i see a lot of discussions who try to compare characters, the thing is, they forget about the very nature of the server, in that it is NOT our world despite how much it can feel like it, and thus the nature of power is much more primeval. 

on a basic level, power is power. nothing else.

having the best armor doesn’t make you unkillable. Tommy had the first piece of netherite armor on the entire server. and it was stolen and used against him. Sam insists he’s one of, if not the, most powerful person the server - he still lost to a PVP with Dream. Techno infamously was able to kill Quackity with a pickaxe, some potions, and iron armor despite the latter being in full enchanted netherite. 

now, in our world, resources = power. several people on the server take great pride in their resources (being the “richest”) but…once you have God Armor+Weapons and a solid base, you’re basically on the same playing field as everyone else, it then comes down to skill. because most people only have 3 lives, it’s not likely you NEED four stacks of Gapples and Diamonds. sure, it helps! in the Disc Finale, Dream talks a lot about how he has more than he’ll ever need and that Tommy and Tubbo can never feasibly beat him, but we’ve all seen an episode of Manhunt. Dream doesn’t need godtier items to be powerful. and it’s hard to say items make you powerful when out of canon, CC!Dream has a valid system to prevent people getting so far ahead no one can ever catch up (the End being closed and iron/villager/piglin farms being banned) 

and all of this means the interactions of “powerful” people - Techno and Dream in particular - need to be taken with the concept in mind that in the end, all the “power” (resources, money, friends, allies) doesn’t matter if another person is able to kill you anyways. (other characters like Punz should be on that list as well but OOC we know he prefers to be a supporting character, Sapnap is involved but not as much as those two, etc.)

and what it also means is that objectively weaker characters will view the world fundamentally different from them because they do not have Power nor do they have misconceptions about who actually holds it. which brings us to this:

“One arrow can be easily broken. But when five arrows are be bound together, they become strong.”

people like Techno will not understand why a group needs to band together and consolidate power in an organized government, and it’s because his version of anarchy benefits him, and “governments” pose a threat to him (whether he wants to recognize or admit it is another story). he’s Powerful! nobody can, on their own, overpower him. the Disc Finale is the ultimate example of this - Dream was able to be taken down by the entire server joining together and saying “we’ve had enough” and Dream, despite all his Power, couldn’t outmatch them all. and though they weren’t part of a government, that’s ONLY because their governments had been forcibly dissolved and their country lands destroyed beyond repair.

L’manburg was originally about a group of people coming together to keep themselves safe from people with Power. The Disc Finale proves that was the way to go! Dream was considered unbeatable, even 2 vs 1, and we know from Manhunts not even 4 v 1 can take him down easily. but a dozen people? there’s no escaping that. Techno can say he did it at the Community House, but they weren’t actively hunting him - there are several “good enough” fighters that if they teamed against him, he would die. Sapnap alone got him down to 2.5 hearts on Doomsday. him + someone else? Techno would have been dead. that’s all it takes. 

Dream understands this and did from very early on. he fully and absolutely understands why they formed a government. it’s exactly why he worked so hard to destroy it, and why he encouraged paranoia and sowed the seeds of distrust every chance he got, because it doesn’t need to be a “government” it’s any faction, any group that could get big enough to pose a threat, and if he can turn them on each other, he stays in control. he stays Powerful.

when Dream threatens people, when Techno comes into someone’s home and demands answers to his questions, when Sapnap tries to bust the drug ring, when Punz says stay away from the Egg, these are people who have Power. their actions, their threats, their intentions carry with them the Power to Kill if they don’t get their way. and that HAS to be considered when we look at how interactions play out and why other characters feel the way that they do.
