i always feel like it’s never enough lol. i’m have more but i also don’t wanna go CRAZY you know? and this has already been in my inbox for two days <3
hi syd i’m just wondering if you have any plans to finish i can go anywhere i want. no pressure to keep working on it if you don’t want to! but if you don’t plan on it i was wondering if we could get spoilers for the end 😭😭 i desperately need to know if g makes it back
so!! short answer, yes i do just not right now
long answer, yes i want to finish it but i’ve been really struggling lately with writing and motivation (my last one-shot was like. only 1.6k and i struggled with it For Days and wanted it to be at least 3k). and because of that, i also look at all my writing and just hate it lol. especially anywhere. my brain has decided that my idea for it is dumb and i’m executing it terribly and that makes it incredibly hard to write. i really, really want to. because i like the ending!! and i’m excited to get there but i just can’t rn (and i haven’t really been able to work on anything else either, sigh). so, for rn, anywhere is on indefinite hold but i do really really wanna finish it at some point. maybe it needs to be christmas season again /j lol <3 sorry for the probably less-than-satisfying answer, but i can’t spoil anything since i do plan/want to finish it <3 it’s nice to know someone’s thinking about it though!!! i’m sorry <3
So I sent this to another writer I liked but also thought as an SNF lover you might like this so I’m just gonna copy paste it:
ok as funny as George living through the first shot and then dying the second, can you imagine how messed up it would be in SNF canon? Like the guards and organizers knew how much SNF depended on each other at that point, and so they built it up all game until that point. And yknow they knew the chances of both of them living was getting slimmer and slimmer so they were kinda prepared to see one another die. But when George survives the first shot they’re in shock and a glimmer of hope appears and then second shot comes and well yknow how the rest goes :)
Maybe you might not like it since it sad actually lol
no pls i love angst (in doses lol)
BUT GOD YES. soooooo awful. like imagine this. the guards tried so hard to break up the dteam (o7 dream) in the interviews and stuff, but it didn’t work; and especially it now just being george and sapnap like they have each other’s backs and they love each other, and no lies or contextless statements are gonna change that. so the idea is, maybe the two of them WILL make it to the end, which would be entertaining in its own right for the guards. but instead. they make it to top 3 but not top 2, and george is right in front of sapnap when they realize this
and maybe before, the two of them thought they had come to grips with the idea that they might have to watch the other die like dream. but it’s so so so different now because george is standing right in front of sapnap
and the guards see that. and what if, because they couldn’t drive them apart for their own entertainment, the first shot was non-lethal on purpose. to build up that hope and despair equally because of course sapnap KNOWS that they’re not just gonna let george live anyway but he can’t help feeling it anyway! and the guards see that and they know that, and they take oh-so much pleasure in being able to fire a second time - a lethal, killing shot
watching sapnap’s face fall, as he yells, ahhhh ldfjalsdf so so sad <3
Now that squid craft is done….
Thinking about VIP Dream being bored and until sapnap catches his eye and just favors him throughout the whole game, betting on him making it to the final when all the VIPS start placing bets. And he also likes watching a specific guard (George) who shows more personality when in duty and is always near sapnap who likes to bug him a lot.
And honestly I would eat this up if it were angst where D was desperately trying to convince the game master to pull sapnap out and George trying to protect him from the games but since sap won there’s a more happy ending where DNN leaves the games behind them after S leaves as a rich man (ignoring the fact that the rest uh died for the sake of a happy ending)
dklfjalskjf yes yes 🙌 listen all the angst has been GREAT don’t get me wrong but i do love happy ending dnn (…….yes if we ignore that um other people have to die for it lol).
also GOD dream is so hot, thinking of him as a VIP is even MORE so. him watching this one contestant and getting a little crush, maybe even a little obsession, thinking he’s cute and he’s tough; and maybe he notices one guard ALSO noticing 188. sees him standing a little too close. what’s he doing? maybe giving 188 hints? help in some way? and dream knows he should say something about it but he doesn’t - but he starts to pay more attention to the guard too, able to see him with the mask off. so now he’s got TWO obsessions, and he does his best (which isn’t much other than not ratting george out) to keep them alive and together. and dream finally finds a way to meet george, and the two of them talk about 188 and that’s when george tells him his name is sapnap. they also both realize that both of them kinda have a Thing for sapnap hehe
ooooo this just has such interesting power dynamics!! because the tier is dream at the top, then george, then sapnap. sapnap has the LEAST power in this situation but neither of the other two ever take advantage of that unless it’s to try to help him
there’s so much that can go into this and i feel like i’m rambling now lmao but god! thank god sapnap won so this can be happy, and they all run away somehow and nothing bad happens after sapnap wins, woo!!
thank you for this, i really liked it <3
Hi! I’m the Snf angst anon and I decided that it’s not enough and wanted to make a Dnn part 2 after the Dream video released:
Dream was used to being the center of everything. And that’s not being egotistical— it’s just how it’s been. With the dsmp, with mcc, with his friends, and especially with sapnap and George. He’s the glue that holds them together, it’s what he knows. He’s always been the one to help mend their petty arguments and set up movie nights together and such.
So imagine his surprise when he finds out Snf managed to communicate like proper human beings and drown each other in love and affection. They’re cuddling on the couch and whispering at the table and during his recent video they’re just so soft with each other.
And he’s proud of them at first, even making fun of them saying it’s about time and how tired he was of them. But then over time he just gets anxious. He feels like he’s being left behind ever since Snf started getting their shit together. Suddenly his thought process goes from ‘woah, you guys don’t need me to help you anymore’ to ‘oh, you don’t need me anymore ’ and it just doesn’t sit right with him but he doesn’t want to ruin what he thinks is perfect so he just distances himself.
He thinks he’s so slick to, but sapnap notices immediately and George presses him about it so much ( gently though cause he’s learned his lesson on how to COMMUNICATE) but he doesn’t budge until sap and George drag him out for movie night since they’ve been neglecting those. And the set up is just really romantic with all the blankets they could find and a bunch snacks on the coffee table with patches on the couch. And Dream was just so overwhelmed with love as they sit him in the middle of them and they cuddle with him as they talk about how much they love each other and whatever else they missed out on.
Alright that’s it have a nice day (⌒▽⌒)
hi welcome back :) and fuck YES i love this. like i love left out sapnap and left out george of course, but this is sooooo good, i feel like there’s not a ton of left out dream tbh. maybe there is lol. it just works so well!! like Of Course dream sees himself as the center of their universe because like he brought them together! it’s the dream team! he knows the two of them inside and out so he knows how to help their problems too
so yes! like they had this Big Fight but worked through it (eventually) on their own and now they’re,,,,, okay?? and they’ve been known to be soft on occasion but this is different, this is like recurrent softness and sweetness, and no one’s asked him his opinion on some petty argument or fight and dream doesn’t like how much that upsets him. because it shouldn’t, you know?? he should be happy that they’ve done it, they’ve worked through stuff and they don’t need him - but like you said they Don’t Need Him. and that’s not a feeling dream is familiar with!!
and i bet after he pulls away (and they notice and worry about it) that with the movie set-up, like dream totally tells himself it’s all super platonic despite the Heavy Romantic Vibes and it’s not until he’s in between them and they’re pressed super close to him - heads on his shoulders, arms wrapped around his arms and hands threaded through hands or on top of his thighs, maybe even kisses pressed to his cheek - that he’s like. oh. oh. and they call him silly and stupid and everyone’s happy and in love and he feels better because they reassure him that they Do need him, but as someone they love not as like a relationship aid <3
Question! Between Dream and Sapnap: who fell first who fell harder?
:o how did you know i was thinking about this yesterday!!! okay okay so!
sapnap fell first and dream fell harder.
we have sapnap who’s been in love with dream for YEARS, pining away since they were teenagers over this guy he’s only seen the face of maybe twice, both times through a very shitty video call. but it doesn’t matter and as the years go by the feelings get a little worse and never go away, and sapnap is stuck pining
and then they move in together. and dream falls hard and dream falls FAST. he has the money and the means to so of course he starts taking care of sapnap (as if he hadn’t been before honestly but before it didn’t feel like this. before it was gifting his best friend, his longest friend, 30k just because he COULD and he wanted to show his appreciation of the friendship, but it’s different in person). he pays for sapnap’s food, for the house, for the bills, for minor things that sapnap mentions off-hand that then show up a week or so later. words get all tangled up in his mouth so this, buying sapnap stuff he wants or needs, is the best way for dream to try to express his feelings
dream goes so very overboard because it’s all new and fresh and strong, and sapnap’s love has just been this steady flow, a steady slow burn because he’s been pining almost half his life at this point
SNF where George and sapnap are having lighthearted banter and they’ve always been able to reconcile when they do get serious. With sapnap being the one to run back and asks George for forgiveness and George pretending to still be mad but always welcoming him back with cuddles and kisses. But then one day their bickering spirals into something more heated where George says something that cuts DEEP, like to the point where both he and sapnap is just kinda stunned by what he just said. Sapnap doesn’t even respond he just walks away stone faced out of the house and slamming the door.
George is still shocked at what he said, but he’s mad cause of the lingering adrenaline of the fight so he doesn’t even attempt to go after sap and doesn’t look back when he walks back to his room. And he knows that they’re going to come back together and everything is fine and dandy.
Hours pass by and then a day and then a week and sapnap is just completely avoiding George. If he’s eating breakfast and George walks in, he’ll leave the table. If he’s streaming with friends and george joins the call, he’ll make up an excuse to go. During regular movie nights with dream, he wouldn’t come down. And it starts to eat at George’s heart because it feels like the rift is too big and one day when he walks past saps room he just breaks down and cries.
He starts apologizing and going on and on about how sap deserves better and how he’s taken sap for granted. Sap just listens quietly and doesn’t make a move until George starts saying that he doesn’t deserve love and that he’ll break up with sapnap if it’ll make him happy— at that sapnap rips the door open and just hugs George quietly until all of his sobbing calms down. He forgives him and tells George that he does love him and that he doesn’t want to break up, just that what he did was shitty and they both talk through it and promise each other that they’ll never let their arguments get that bad ever again
lkdsjfld yes omg yes. and of course george is the one to push too far finally because We Know he knows how to find the weak spots in someone, that he pushes and needles until they’re at their breaking point. and dating sapnap, of course he can do that - he can do it without even thinking, he KNOWS what gets under his skin. maybe he didn’t even realize at first just How Bad it was until sapnap stops and then his own words register in his head. but it’s too late then because sapnap’s leaving and even though he feels awful, and still mad, he has aaaaaaall the confidence that sapnap will come back to him because that’s what happens! it’s what always happens! they bicker, they get mad, they get over it.
but then they DON’T this time. and george!! doesn’t know what to do about that because he’s never had to BE the one to be the bigger person because he knows how sapnap is and sapnap knows how he is. sapnap loves him and is so so open about that whereas yeah he’s a little more closed off because he shows it in his own way - a way sapnap is familiar with. and because sapnap is so open, he’s always the one who comes back so even though george feels the blame he doesn’t expect this time to be any different but it IS. sapnap’s avoiding him and maybe it’s because whatever the comment was, whatever the fight was about, really really got under his skin and sapnap thought about how he’s always the one to come crawling back. maybe george doesn’t because he doesn’t want to (insecure sapnap my love,,,). so that’s also why he’s pulling away because he loves george so much but this One Time where george really screwed up he couldn’t even acknowledge it and that hurts.
which of course breaks george, and you wrote it so wonderfully i can’t even expand on that on my own because ahhhhhhhh. i love when george cries, i can’t help it. when he’s finally just pushed to that brink that he can’t do anything BUT cry. and he feels so bad!!! but of course it’s okay because he loves sapnap and sapnap loves him and they talk it out and they cuddle and they kiss, and then they freak dream out for a week because they don’t even BICKER terrified of going too far again so they’re sickly sweet to each other and dream is like. who are you. where are my best friends. lol. thank youuuu!! i loved this <3
Okay you get my angst brainrot today I think... Dream KNOWS that Sapnap would say yes. He's not joking. He literally has known for years that Sapnap's in love with him, they've talked about it before. But Sapnap tried really hard not to make it weird when he told Dream, so he pretended like it was no big deal (this was back before they lived together). And then Dream ended up thinking that yeah, Sapnap has a crush on him, but he doesn’t really care and it’s not a big thing at all. Like he’ll randomly bring it up as a joke from time to time and it really hurts Sapnap so badly but Dream has no idea because he’s oblivious as fuck and Sapnap doesn’t want to admit it.
When Dream says that Sapnap would say yes but he doesn't want him to be his Valentine in that clip, it really hurts, but Sapnap's used to it at this point. He just goes “…what?” as though it’s funny, but really he’s like two seconds away from crying. And then he goes after DNF because he’s so sick of it and what else is he supposed to do??
And then there’s George, who is completely in love with Sapnap. He likes Dream too – he really, really likes Dream, maybe he even loves Dream, but he’s, like, REALLY in love with Sapnap. That’s why he always says no to being Dream’s valentine, because he can’t fully commit to being with him, not when he knows that he’d drop literally everything instantly if there was even a chance that Sapnap wanted to be with him. That’s not fair to Dream, he keeps telling himself, so he rejects Dream and doesn’t tell Sapnap how he feels because he’s sure he would hate him for it, and resigns himself to being miserable and alone forever.
If I was feeling kinder rn I would continue this until they ended up all together and happy but today is feeling like an angst day so you know what? This is a sad world where they never work it out and DON’T live happily ever after. They never work it out and end up moving on eventually, one by one, and none of the three of them ever end up dating each other and they’re all SAD.
Okay I changed my mind I hate that – they eventually figure their shit out and all three of them end up together and in love and Dream apologizes profusely to Sapnap when he realizes how much he’s fucked up and he brings him flowers and shit everyday and makes him breakfast in bed and kisses him for hours and hours and treats him like a fucking princess and then all three of them live happily ever after because fuck angst.
Uh sorry if this was a bit too long I just. I had a lot of Thoughts.
can you hear my incomprehensible screaming because i’m SCREAMING i can’t even ADD anything to this, it’s so good!! god but lets just think about the angst option first like. time moves on and none of them say ANYTHING even though dream knows how sapnap feels he KNOWS and maybe the feelings started to creep up but he’s kinda like “what if sapnap’s went away?” because after the first confession, he’d never said anything else about it. and of course he’s also got those feelings for george but george always rejects him because how he feels isn’t fair for anyone. sapnap is probably the first to move on because he made his feelings clear years ago and clearly there’s nothing happening so he HAS to, and then dream, and then george. and they never ever talk about it but they stay friends of course and they never stop feeling like they missed something BIG.
god i’m so sad i can’t think about that any longer, okay okay, flip side! dream is the one who says something first because he doesn’t know if sapnap still feels the same but maybe he does and he actually tells george first and george is like “oh” because fuck this really sucks. and maybe he makes a joke like “oh you didn’t mean all those times you asked me, haha, dnf stuff is just a joke” and dream hesitates just a second too long and george sees his chance. and he tells dream “i’m like maybe into sapnap or something too” playing it down but also says “and maybe you idk” still just trying to not be too vulnerable. and dream’s vibrating out of his skin because shit that’s so much better?? if sapnap feels the same?? so then of course we have the classic dnf trying to confess to sapnap but they’re spending even MORE time together so sapnap’s like fuck missed it. and then!! idk maybe a fight about dnf and it all comes out and then everyone’s happy. i love them
thank you, thank you, i loved this so much (esp the angst) ahhh. dnn my beloveds <3
dnn are dating but want to keep it a secret but they still continue with d n f jokes to not make people sus but d takes it a little too far when he says he doesn’t want s to be his valentine and it actually hurts his feelings but he makes a dnf joke to deflect, then shortly after they end the recording and d and g get ready to go to bed and notice s isn’t there, so they go to find him in his own bed pouting and he tells them about how the joke made him feel then they make it all up to him with great vday sex + cuddles and kisses
yesssss yes yes yes. they gotta keep the jokes up because it would be weird if they didn’t right?? so of COURSE d asks g to be his valentine and he’s a little dumb /affectionate so he doesn’t realize when he makes the joke about s that it hurts his feelings and to be fair, s didn’t want either of them to notice, and he probably didn’t want it to get to him. but it did and that’s why he doesn’t join them because it’s kinda like….. well maybe d does mean it and that hurts :( but of course he doesn’t and when he and g see that s isn’t joining him of course they go and reassure him (d more so because it’s kinda his fault, which g points out while he’s holding s and pretending to keep him away from d in an attempt to make s laugh [it works]). ahhhhh and then they kiss and make up and d spoils s that night 👀 thank you very much anon i loved this <3
sydney adelaidebabe i am in love with your writing reject me so i can move on and fixate on someone else's writing thank you
