Florida Is Cool And All, But You Do Have To Assume That Every Body Of Water Has A Gator In It Until Proven

Florida is cool and all, but you do have to assume that every body of water has a gator in it until proven otherwise.

Repairing generators without a license.

Psychopomp

If my breathing falls away

Leaving nothing in it place

Will you guide me

Will you hold my hand ?

If it’s to be my curtain call

Nothing left of me at all

Would you hold me

Fingers running through my hair?

When I take my final breath

Whisper reassurances

When the reaper comes to call

Is it you that calms my soul?

Lays me gently down

Into the void

I have so much lore for this one.

• The war was started by Hypixel about ten years ago by Techno’s father and older brother

• As part of the years of planning put into the invasion, the king and crown prince of Hypixel found the information about how Hardcore does treaties, and decided that they needed a plan if the war didn’t go well

• Techno doesn’t know it, but the only reason he was born was to be that backup plan. The sacrifice of things went wrong

• That’s why Techno is ignored by his father and brother. He was a tool to them. Why would you visit a tool.

• Techno is raised with his role in mind. His duty to the crown and to his people was always emphasized

• Philza was incredibly angry that Hypixel sent a child to be sacrificed. Relations will be tense.

• Philza really hoped that Techno would say no to the sacrifice

• Philza only got angrier as he got to know Techno. How could Hypixel’s king and crown prince send this sweet, intelligent, caring child who would be ten times the king his father was to his death?

• It also made Philza so angry that his family never bothered to show up to help Techno prepare for the ritual, or for the ritual itself

• The tea that Techno drank was poisoned, though the flower was poisonous because the goddess’s sacred flowers are imbued with her power

• Philza, being favored by the goddess, has been granted some control over that power

• Techno did not feel any effects of the poison until he was on the alter because Philza waited to draw out the power until then

• Phil used the power to erase any pain that Techno would feel, to make it easier to access his heart, and also to insure that the very moment Techno completed his role in the ritual he would die and be sent to the goddess

• The goddess can tell if a sacrifice is sincere or not in their desire for peace

• Techno very much gets adopted by the goddess

• When Philza dies Techno gets to keep him as a dad

• Techno was buried in Hypixel because his family doesn’t want his body

• Philza always leaves gifts for Techno at his grave on holidays and Techno’s birthday

• Techno’s mother is dead, but she doesn’t have any desire to see him. She was resentful towards her children because she was not a consenting participant in making them

• The peace between Hardcore and Hypixel did not even last ten years because Hypixel tried to invade Hardcore again

• This time Philza doesn’t consider peace as an option, and conquers Hypixel, killing the royal family and turning it into a vassal state

Two kingdoms au (mcd, human sacrifice, a little gore)

Techno is the younger prince of the kingdom of Hypixel. The kingdom has been at war with the neighboring kingdom of Hardcore for as long as Techno can remember.

Unfortunately, this means that Techno never met his father or older brother, as they were busy with the war effort.

Techno was raised by the castle staff. He still had the best education in books and swords.

When Techno is eleven, word comes that peace has been negotiated.

There’s only one problem: the kingdom of Hardcore worships the goddess of death, and any peace treaty must be sealed with the death of a member of the ruling side’s ruling family.

And Techno is expendable.

The reasoning makes sense, Techno is neither the King nor the Crown Prince. But it still hurts.

Techno is sent with a delegation to Hardcore. He wants to run, but he knows what the consequences will be for his people if he does. So he stays.

On the journey, Techno hears the delegates talking about him. Some seem sympathetic, but the others warn them not to get too close, because Techno is destined to die on Lady Death’s alter.

None of the castle staff are part of the delegation, and Techno is alone.

They arrive at the castle of the king of Hardcore. The staff is polite. The accommodations are nice. Techno has a very nice set of rooms all to himself.

The next day a knock comes on Techno’s door.

The door is opened to reveal the ruler of Hardcore himself, Philza, politely asking to come in.

Philza has come to explain the ritual that will seal the peace treaty. It will take place on the goddess’s holy day in two weeks time. The participant MUST be willing. Is Technoblade willing? He asks, is he sure? He is not being forced?

Techno is scared, but he is willing.

For some reason, Philza looks sad at the answer.

Every afternoon following the initial visit, Philza comes to see Technoblade. They talk or walk through the palace or the gardens or spar or read in the royal library.

It makes the days bearable.

Two days before the ceremony, Techno turns twelve. Philza brings a short novel as a gift and a cake to share. Techno finishes the book the next morning.

The afternoon before the ceremony, Techno asks if his father or brother will be there. They chose not to attend.

Techno looses his grip on his emotions and sobs in Philza’s arms.

Philza promises Techno that he will be with him the whole time, and that it will not hurt. Philza promises that the goddess is kind.

The promises are the only thing keeping Techno together.

The next morning Philza offers Techno tea made with a single petal from one of the goddess’s sacred flowers.

The tea tastes… cold. Philza does not drink.

The next part is usually done with the sacrifice’s closest family and friends, but Techno’s family is not here.

It is Philza who helps Techno bathe and dress, and it is Philza who gently takes Techno’s hand and walks him down the isle of the church of Lady Death to the altar, like a father about to give away his daughter to her betrothed.

Philza lays Techno down on the alter, his hand brushing Techno’s hair back and out of his face before moving to be a steadying grip on Techno’s shoulder.

Philza addresses all the people Techno does not know and Techno studies the design on the ceiling.

Techno already knows the words.

The speech comes to an end.

Phil’s hands shift to rest gently on Techno’s chest. Techno closes his eyes, silent tears escaping.

It seems that Philza’s first two promises to him held true as there was no pain when Philza’s fingers dug into Techno’s chest and pried back his ribs.

It felt odd with Philza’s hands inside his chest, gently gripping his heart like a precious thing.

Now Techno was somewhere else, cradled in the arms of the woman Philza had described to him. It was over, but even now Techno could still feel Philza’s hands holding his heart.

Everytime I tried to post this one, I had to just lay down and cry for a bit. It broke my heart (in a good way). And they way you explain the dread of the inevitable sacrifice just CRUSHES MY SOUL (in a good way)

Crying again 😢😢😢😢💚💚💚💚

Just wait until other people start paying Techno in teeth. Or just giving them to him.

Any time an animal dies they take the teeth just in case the weird godling with a dental obsession comes around.

Techno goes to a bakery and gets teeth sprinkled on top of his cupcake.

Silly fic AU where Techno is a godling who sheds tusks which are super magical (think unicorn horns) and Kristin is the tooth fairy desperately trying to work out how much money to put under his pillow
