Ok, the entirety of Purgatory for the QSMP is now officially over, so I am going to talk about it and the Cucurucho streams and related media that has poped up! I'm not going to give a day to day rundown of Pergatory, so if you came for that I suggest instead going for the vods. Personally there was to much fighting, sound, and general chaos (along side the fact that the majority of the streams were long) for me to give a good recap of all the days.
However, I will give a timeline of events outside Purgatory; if you do not want to be spoiled about Cucurucho's actions or any related news, I suggest you look at the QSMP Twitter and Cucuruchos streams!
Ok, so timeline of the events on Pergatory and QSMP.
QSMP Islanders wake up on Egg island and are split into 3 teams: Bolas!?! Headed by Philza, Soulfire headed by Tubbo, and the Green Gay Ninjas headed by Etoiles. Where the teams would spend 2 weeks competing to try and save some of the eggs.
At the half way point (day 7 or 8) the Green Gay Ninjas team were eliminated, and roughly the same day we got the first of 2 streams with Cucurucho as our main actor. The stream at the beginning was just Cucurucho at his home going about his normal life outside of being in charge of the local Federation branch. However, during this we get the actual timeline of when this happened in the flow of Purgatory. The video that played while sending the islanders off the island played before Cucurucho's eyes and the bear was from the sounds of it confused on what was going on. Pointing to the fact that Cucurucho was either not kept in the loop, or that potential the broadcast was not actually the federations doing. After which Cucurucho gets an island report from a federation worker with glasses (which, cute) that points to a huge problem involving what we later learn is called the "shadow virus" before calling for a meeting with all available federation workers.
During this meeting we learn a few things (this is I no particular order). 1. The workers and guards are definitely scared from Cellbit's murder spree, but do not known it was him. 2. The coffee machine is broken and a federation worker is not happy about this fact or the fact they have to drink tea instead. 3. A worker reports that while the islanders were sent off because of matanance, they have lost complete contact with them likely due to a third party (-cough cough-eyeball man -cough cough-). And as such suggested sending someone off to try and gain contact and return the islanders to the island. 4. The scientific team has yet to figure out anything involving the black concrete 5. Fred is still missing and the federation workers are worried. 6. The code entities were trying to send out a signal... And the reporting federation member also mention a plan to fource all federation members to drink apple juice?
Honestly part of what the initial meeting showed along side all that was revealed was the individual personalities of all the federation workers. Something Cucurucho does not reprimand them for, instead just seeming to sigh at.
After this Cucurucho sets all but one federation worker/guard to go clean up the black concrete, with the last member being sent off to Egg island. Cucurucho also left a note for Forever asking to talk.
After this we a stream showing us the federation worker that was sent off on Egg island, infected by the shadow virus and seemingly being forced to help direct the team allocation of green between the two remaining teams, before the worker promptly drops dead.
We don't see the last Cucurucho stream till either the 17th or the 18th where in we are given a tour of part of the upper level of Cucuruchos home before He sets of back to the federation office for an update meeting with all workers not in the med bay or in a good enough state to preform tasks and talk.
We see that the office has been mostly cleaned up, but the shadow virus now infects the majority of the federation workers with one worker being infected by something else. Once in the meeting room, where a table had been set up closer to the podium a new set of reports was given (interrupted on occasion by Cucurucho getting distracted by lizards that are somehow in the facility.)
(also, new Cucuruchovoice lines!) the updated reports are: 1. There is still no progress on the murders, but it is very likely an Island member conducting the action. 2. All actions to try and trace the islanders have failed, and the worker sent off was also lost. While mentioning that the islanders left by a non-official route. 3. The eggs are still missing, and they have no apparent leads on what happened to them. As well as mentioning that the Eggs should not have been able to leave on their own... Also, the apple juice worker again says a plan to get all to drink it. 4. ... The coffee maker is still broken, and the worker seems to be going insane from the tea... 5. As well as a report of while cleaning resident homes of the black concrete finding code monster residual.
The last report was an unofficial one while the group checked out the progress on removing the black concrete... During this, Cucurucho fell into a deep hole that was left unfixed in front of the bridge to the president's office, leading to Cucurucho giving an exasperated sigh before saying "it's tough to be a boss sometimes". The unofficial report reports the biggest spot of the second virus problem, this time relating back to the code monsters and the code egg. Leading to samples being taken.
After this, while Cucurucho went to leave a note to Foolish with a guard and a single worker once of the little eyeball creatures from Pergatory (Luffy) sails into the area and Cucurucho has a brief interaction with them as the child reveals "purgatory" that something is happening with the residents, as well as the instigator of Pergatory. Eventually leading Luffy to be taken into custody to gain more information before Cucurucho goes home with the picture of the purgatory man as he questions who they are in relation to this incident.
After this the end of predatory happens where a tie is broken between the Bolas and soulfire team in Bolas's favor. After which the predatory man reveals they have a spy in their talks and tells them to play hide and seek with him. Bringing them to an area with a federation worker with a single eye before the eggs are revealed, as well as El Quackity being the spy. It is then revealed that the egg "choice" was a single egg chosen by luck, before a confrintation leads to the island creator setting off a nuke timber. That leads to most of the islanders not making it off? (certain. Need official channal information that might not be available till wensdsy if Phil can't get on QSMP tomorrow.)
Also, on the official twitter a video of Richarlison having survived the bomb is shown as well as a missing poster for... Cucurucho...
Whatever is going on has just made everything much more confusing.
Also, just an odd note, has the QSMP info canal logo changed to a black cucurucho face for anyone else (or... A white shirted man screaming?)? Or is this just me...
I love this.
AU where every time Sun Wukong falls asleep he is encompassed by stone resulting in him appearing to be a statue and has to re-break out of this stone casing every time he wakes up
No i will not elaborate
Cool.
🎵oops I did it again, I printed-another-lemonadesoda-work-based-on-doodledrawsthings-oth!au-with-the-artwork-from-the-masterpost🎵
Thank you @doodledrawsthings and @lemonadesoda for the amazing artwork you’ve created and still continue to create, ahit related or not! Links to the fic series, "And I don't think you hate this as much as you wish you did" and the "oh the humanity!" au masterpost
Ok. So, me being me I was rewatching the intro for LMK season 4 again, and I noticed something... Strange? No that feels wrong. Important feels like the right word. All the scenes with Wukong interacting with characters besides MK's group have the pieces of that wooden zodiac scroll flowing through the scene.
This suggests to me one of a few things might be happening.
1. The scroll is telling tales from Wukong's past and we, the viewers, are getting to see the events as MK or the like reads it.
2. The scroll is some sort of time spell that is placing MK and their group in the past of Wukong's timeline before the journey to the west. As well as potentially during it based on the outfits of Pigsy and Sandy during the scenes after Wukongs scenes.
Or
3. The scroll is being used to restrict people from the past and Wukong is interacting with them.
There are potentially many many more solutions but I'm more inclined to believe it is option 1 or 2, leaning towards 2.
In part because of Wukong's outfit and actions in the scenes. The outfit feels like before Wukong became heavily invested in fighting to protect people and a majority of the scenes seem to be happening on flower fruit mountain. The inclusion of a happy DBK and a Mac who is being nice and polite to Wukong also points me towards 1 of 2 being the case because we know in present time of the show that the three are not on good terms with eachother. Not to mention the deamon monkey shown who I am guessing is one of Wukong's generals.
This leads me to think that this season is going to be largely set in the past of Wukong's timeline and something is possibly trying to change history and prevent Wokong from going on the journey to the west. Which would prevent Wukong from being so well known to the wider world and a threat to all demons and celestial potentially trying to do something to rule the world.
As for the black ink monster, I believe their is a Yokai centered around how the rewriting of a tale of event enough times brings it to life through the ink. And if corrupted by the intentions of the writing these Ink creatures become very dangerous.
This is all just a theory though.

Ok, big news has come up involving what has happened with the Eggs in today's lore! Those who haven't watched anything Phil, Bad, Cellbit, Tubbo, Forever or Pac have done today, go watch and then come back, I refuse to spoil the insanity that went down!
Ok, so today Phil, Bad, and Celbit we're working to try and free Forever and Pac from the drugs the federation had given them. Eventually managing to do so after trapping Forever and Pac in cage traps in the secret organization working to free the residents from the island and destroy the federation.
While Forever was coming down from the effects of the drugs before being given the antidote he revealed something while hallucinating Cellbit as Cucarucho. He revealed that the eggs hadn't been taken by the federation this time, but had instead insticualy run away from something much more dangerous that has invaded the island. Something that wasn't the Federation or the Codes.
This is very disturbing, because it means the Eggs know instinctively that there was nothing their parents could do to protect them from whatever was coming. And with how abruptly they left it means whatever was coming that would be coming for the eggs has to be coming SOON. If I had to guess, I would say by the end of this week or early next week.
We don't know. But I can tell you, this is very interesting and leads to more questions of "what is going on?"
Also, for those who saw Etoiles fighting the code and winning, one of the few things the Code had on them was a book that Etoiles translated as saying one word, "protect." But protect from what? Protect self? Protect island? Protect against the attack that is coming? Was the message only for the code or was it meant for Etoiles?
So cute!

Ok, i love this idea.
Deaf!Marinette AU: Stoneheart - Part 1.
Marinette forgot to set her phone to vibration the previous night, and, since she she's deaf, ended up sleeping through her morning alarm.
Marinette started waking up early as a kid to head to school on her own since it made her feel more "grown up," so her parents don't usually go to make sure she's awake since they're busy with opening up the bakery.
She ends up being extremely late, and only has time to grab the macaroons she had spent hours trying to perfect the previous day, in hopes of having a good start with her classmates.
On her way to school, she sees a man on thr opposite side of the road trying to hurry across the street as a car comes speeding towards him. Without a second thought, she sprints towards him to get him out of harm's way.
Her macaroons are ran over and destroyed, and her pants from the knees down are soaked with water from the rain puddle she had fell into while pushing the man onto the sidewalk.
The elderly man regards her with a face of shock, admiration shinning through. "Are you alright?" He asks and Marinette is barely able to read it from his lips as the adrenaline pounds through her head.
Flashing him a reassuring smile, she motions towards her ear and simply signs, "I'm deaf."
She doubted the man knew Sign considering not many people put in the effort to learn it nowadays, but she hoped he at least understand what she was trying to say, especially since it was one of the better known signs with hearing people.
Marinette was happily suprised whem the man smiled softly at her and responded, "I see. Are you alright then?" His hands moving as he signed back to her.
Marinette was about to respond when her back suddenly straightened and she realized just how late she was - and on her first day too!
After receiving confirmation that the man was fine and helping him retrieve his cane from the road, she hurriedly threw a smile at him from over her shoulder as she ran towards Collège Françoise Dupont.
Wang Fu hummed to himself as he watched the young girl, no older than fifteen, trip her way to school. Yes, he told Wayzz, she would make a very intertesting hero indeed.
Marinette raced through the school halls, taking a moment to catch her breath as she stood outside her classroom.
This would be her second year of high school, and she hoped it was better than the last.
Mme. Bustier, her new teacher, turned her head and smiled at Marinette as she entered the classroom. Marinette had already met with her a few weeks prior with her parents, as Tom and Sabine explained that Marinette would require slightly different teaching methods due to her disability.
Greeting her teacher with a smile, Marinette headed towards one of the seats in the front row, closest to where Mme. Bustier would be teaching.
This was her first year using hearing aids, which meant it was also her first year without an interpreter having to come to class with her. She still wasn't completely used to the devices in her ears, and she stopped wearing her hair up in favor of being able to conceal them.
The noise was startling at first, and it was still a bit overwhelming at times. Marinette only used them when absolutely needed, and had switched them on outside of class.
The loud chattering of her classmates made her wince, but she was also curious to hear what everyone had sounded like. After all, she had known most of these people for years and never heard them speak before. It was almost exciting to guess what they would sound like.
A hand slapping down on her desk made her flinch and she looked up to meet bright blue eyes glaring at her, "Dupain-Cheng!" Chloé sneered at her and Marinette confirmed to herself that, yes, Chloé did sound exactly like she imagined she would. Annoying. "This is my seat!"
Marinette didn't open her mouth to speak, she refused to waste her breath on this. "This is my seat," she signed and Chloé's brow twitched in annoyance.
"How many times do I have to tell you I don't speak jazzhands?" She rolled her eyes dramatically and Marinette felt herseld being shoved out of her seat from the opposite side, Sabrine now sitting where she had been. Pointing at an empty seat next to an unfamiliar face, Chloé glared at her. "You sit there now." She made sure to word it sharply and slowly, unaware Marinette had hearing aids.
Marinette hesitated before deciding it wasn't worth the fight. Chloé had been annoying her since the first year of middle school, there was no point in rebelling now.
A hand reached for Marinette's wrist and she found herself being dragged by the unfamiliar student, all while she glared daggers at Chloé. Marinette tumbled into her seat and received a smile from her deskmate.
"What a snobb," The new student huffed under her breath with an eyeroll. When the girl beside her didn't respond, she spared her a glance to see her staring at her lips with a confused expression on her face.
Marinette flushed. Even with her hearing aids, she was nowhere close having perfect hearing. Loud environments, quiet voices, and hard to understand words made her feel as though she was wearing earplugs instead of hearing aids.
"She's deaf, you dunce!" Chloé shouted with a laugh, causing Marinette to shrink into herself.
Alya blinked in surprise just as Mme. Bustier clapped her hands to gain the class's attention. "Good morning, class! For those who don't yet know me, I am Madam Bustier, your homeroom teacher this year," she smiled at the faces filling the room. "As Chloé had shouted," she sent a warning look at the student, "your classmate Marinette is deaf so please be mindful of that." Oh wow, everyone was looking at her.
She wanted to melt into the ground.
The rest of the class was rather uneventful, with Mme. Bustier explaining the syllabus and having the students introduce themselves. She purposefully skipped over Marinette, which caused the girl beside her to peak up at, as Sabine had informed her that Marinette was not comfortable with verbal communication.
"Ivan! Go to the principal's office," Marinette looked up as she saw her teacher directing her classmate out the door. Snickering filled the room, specifically coming from two classmates, and Marinette was already awaiting the moment she could remove sound from her life again.
"Geez," she heard the girl beside her mutter as the situation unfolded. Their eyes met and she felt her cheeks heat up at the grin directed at her.
Her deskmate flipped through her notebook, a Marvel themed one, and began to scribble on a blank page before shoving it in front of her face.
"Hi! I'm Alya. Looks like we'll be classmates :)"
Marinette felt something spread in her chest as the girl looked at her expecting, smiling widely. She made an effort to talk to me...
Uncapping her pen, Marinette replied on the same page, "Hello, I'm Marinette! It's nice to meet you, Alya. Right now, I'm wearing hearing aids that allow me to understand you for the most part, but I only communicate through Sign and writing."
Alya grabbed the paper, happy that Marinette had replied. "Oh, I don't know Sign Language," she frowned. Then suddenly her eyes held a gleam, "but I can learn! I've always been a fast learner, espeically with languages!"
Before Marinette could swoon over the fact that a girl she had just met, that didn't even know her, declared that she would be learning a brand new language just for Marinette's sake, a sudden shake filled the building.
"That was Ivan's voice, right?" Marinette didn't respond as Alya pulled out her phone, "it's like he's been transformed into a real life supervillain!" She pocketed her phone and turned on her heels to run.
Marinette snatched her wrist, looking at Alya as though she had grown a second head. "Don't look at me like that! Wherever there's a supervillain, there's a superhero close behind! I am not missing this," and with that Marinette was left to stare at her new classmate, someone she was convinced was either fearless or crazy.
After a moment of hearing screams fill the school, Marinette groaned and turned off her hearing aids, slightly more relaxed without the chatter filling her head. Sighing, she sprinted in the opposite direction Alya had, away from the fight amd towards home.
After her parents secured the bakery's door and made sure their daughter was alright, Marinette found herself sitting in front of her computer, watching with a anxious interest as the news reported on the current situation.
Her eyes spotted a black jewelry box sitting on her desk. With red designs and an unique shape, Marinette was certain it wasn't one of hers.
Opening it, Marinette was met with a blinding light of bright red. Wincing, she closed her eyes and tried to process what had just happened.
Blinking her eyes open, she was met with a red and black creature hovering above the box. Large blue eyes stared at her.
Marinette nearly screamed.
The creature came towards her, its mouth moving as it must of been letting out some type of animalistic noise.
It stopped chasing her suddenly and something resembling a pondering look came across its little bug face.
Marinette watched as the - thing - flew to her computer and began to smash itself against her keys.
Marinette had to take a moment to realize it was typing words.
And then another moment to get over her shock.
"Greeting, my name is Tikki. Please allow me to explain."
Marinette took notes as she read through Tikki's explanation, which was surprisingly detailed.
Tikki said that she could understand any language her holder knew, so she turned to her, still off-put by her interesting appearance, and signed, "I'm sorry for freaking out earlier, Tikki. Thank you for your explanation, it was really helpful," she nodded towards the computer and the kwami smiled at her.
"But," her hands paused for a moment and sbe pursed her lips. "I think you're confused. Someone like me, I could never be a superhero - people like me aren't supposed to be heroes." Marinette gave Tikki a sad smile, her hands falling to rest in her lap.
Tikki frowned, confused by her holder's words. No one had ever declined a miraculous before, in fact, some were a bit too excited to be given one.
"But," she began before realizing her mistake, "but Marinette, you're the chosen one. You were selected before you have the heart of the hero. Only you can wield the Ladybug Miraculous."
Marinette sighed as she read the message, about to sign her owm retort when a flash from her phone caught her attention.
"Emergency Warning: Supervillain causing property damage to Collège Françoise Dupont, students indanger."
Marinette felt her heart drop as the video of - Ivan? - played, damaging the field of her high school. That wasn't what caused her emotiom distress, however. No, it was was the shot of Alya being in frame, a worried look on her face as she tried ro duck behind the bleachers and avoid the gravel being thrown around.
Taking a shaky breath, Marinette looked at Tikki, who wore a determined look on her face. Closing her eyes, willing her heartbeat to slow down, she breathed in slowly.
"Tikki, spots on."
Alright! This is the official first part of my deaf Marinette au! It's going to be tagged as "deafbug au," but the name may change later on. Click here to see some background for this au. Feel free to send any asks or comment if you have any questions :)
Edit: part 2 here.
I love this idea.
I have a headcanon and I want to share it
Error’s blood consists of the “blue screen of death” and it’s all but it looks beautifully unusual
By chaos all mighty.
Ok, Phil news time, if you haven't seen any of the stream today, go watch before you read.
Ok, so, today was Mexican independence day, Phil joined in and spent time with all the server members. I don't know the full extent of what happened, because I had to leave stream and I haven't yet watched what Capibara insanity or other events went down.
However, I can tell you the heartbreak that went down at the end. Phill woke up sometime later after (I am assuming) sleeping off the alcohol he drank at the festival. In that time something snuck into his bace and left a chest that Phil assumed was from Tallulah, holding a book telling a poem of a bird missing their eggs hatching into fledglings and giving him coordinates near his "uppies" nest warp and telling him to pack light for the trip.
Phil did so and traveled to the location finding a bird house which he rushed into thinking his eggs would be there, only for him to find another purple chest with a book saying "a cage for a cage" and to turn around to Cucarucho laughing at him. Phil tried to punch him while asking where were are his Eggs, only to get laughed at more as Cucarucho rushed out of the house, put down a security door and then covered it up with deepslate (potentially the security craft verient). So yeah, Phil has officially become a apart of the federation Kidnaped on the island club.
And this points to, along with the black Cucarucho insanity that went down with Tubbo yesterday (not writing about what mess of lava and near death), the federation messing with the islanders in an attempt to keep them compliment by freaking them the f*** out and trying to lock away those who are attempting to mess with the island's "happiness".
So, yeah, tommorow's streams might be involving saving PHIL from the federation (after MCC) and whatever other f***ery the federation decides needs to go down.
Also, this points further to just how desperate the islanders with missing eggs are getting with finding the eggs. Phil literally trusted a randomly appearing purple chest in his base, which he knows is compromised at this point thanks to the missing security door, to be Tallulah's doing and decided to follow the instructions the book gave despite his ever cautious nature in an attempt to get his egg back.
and this also points to just how desperate the Federation is becoming to deal with the situation. Normally you know the minute when something is going down whether the federation is involved (at least partially) or not. In this case the Federation openly decided to hide that they were the culprets till Phil was alone, to make sure that things would go off without a hitch, because they knew if there was any hint of federation involvement Phil would have ignored at least part of what the book said.
All the islanders are getting desperate.
We need the eggs to return, we need to deal with the federation and what ever shady group is now getting involved, they need to get off the island. Before whatever the f*** is going on, gets worse.
This feels like something I want to read, but I don't have a archive account and I don't know if I am allowed to have an account and just lurk.
I do write, but it is nothing as amazing as what is on archive of our own.
Here’s a VERY unfinished comic from the amazing fic Monkey King's Guide to Physical Contact by @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off . I lost steam on it a little while back so it never got finished, but thanks so much to the incredible @lavaflowe for all the constructive criticism and lettin me dump ideas on ya! This Monkey Has Problems
