I’ve watched the animatic six times. I’ve listened to the OST about forty times. I actually picked out Tommy’s motif on the piano, geeking out the entire time, and the notes are A, C E, F, F D E, G E C D, B, G, A (and repeat) in the key of C.
Just picking out the musical themes and how someone could built an entire series’ worth of OST from this piece alone based on motifs and musical language - Because if you’ll notice, Dream gets the horns and drums, but Tommy gets the violins and piano -
Let’s start with Mellohi’s halting waltz near the beginning, after the record scratch, the familiar and haunting notes that have become Dream’s calling card in every way. Starting off slow as Sad-ist reminds us that Tubbo and Tommy have been dancing this dance since the very beginning, the two of them against Dream, all three hanging on to each other for different reasons. Then it gets more intense until they’re losing to Dream and the horns and drums are overpowering the entire piece.
But then in the bunker, when Tubbo and Tommy are at their weakest but their bond is strongest, it rises up in protest. There’s still the weight of Dream’s presence but you’re feeling their desperation and dedication to each other loud and clear.
Only for it to all blend harmoniously as the others arrive.
And when Dream says what he says at the end, suddenly the symphony goes silent, except for halting piano notes - Tommy’s theme at it’s barest - stripped away, just like he’s been stripped away to nothing more than a boy who wants his brother back.
And then - and then it’s only strings playing the motif, because that’s when Wilbur’s gripping his shoulder and saying “I’m proud.” Because Tommy’s only half of what he could be without his brother supporting him.
OH AND HERE’S THE BEST PART. When Dream’s entire world is flipped on top of his head and he’s caught in a web of his own making, that’s when the drums come back, when TOMMY’S the one holding an axe over his prone form, the drums come back full force and vengeful and just keep thundering, over and over and over like a heartbeat out of control.
And the entire piece begins with a single drumbeat. Because it was Dream who initiated this entire fight.
I can’t even begin to process that this was composed specifically for Sad-ist, the queen of animation herself. She deserves nothing less. Moral of the story, guys, go give 2WEI your love and support, this piece is nothing short of GENIUS and they deserve our thanks for giving us such an amazing gift.

To any fic writers who worry they are wasting their time... I read a fic for a relatively small and inactive fandom about three years ago. And there was one specific scene where a character watched another dancing like an idiot to a beyonce song and it was so sweet and loving that even now years later I have that song on one of my spotify playlist so every once in a while it will play and remind me of that fic, and every time it does I smile and feel a little happier.
The stats on a fic will never really tell you if your writing touched someone. There's no numerical way to show you what impact you made. Maybe you are wasting time, or maybe you are writing something that someone will remember for a long time, something that will never fail to make them smile.
Real quick I love Undertale and Hermitcraft but I made a side-blog for tim drake and batman in general because that fixiation is back full force @two-juncture and to learn how side-blogs work fully and keep this blog semi-organized
im fighting artblock by just drawing the fucking bird man. it works.

I like to give Dream an MP3 player. It's a little yellow one, some scratches, probably the most off-color yellow you'd be able to get. Any solemn minute, locked away in his own little world, Dream turns it on. Music very quickly became his singular way of coping with the entire situation that is his life after getting the device.
Some years back Dream received it as a gift. They had some pre-downloaded songs, but really wanted to say thank you- Dream saved their families lives from Nightmare. They'd outgrown this little thing, perhaps it'd be loved by another. Dream, knowing full well the little spout of smiles they'd feel, accepts the gift. Every new world Dream travels too the thought of getting to add more music makes him pause, spending a little more time in each one to discover artists(not ever going to a live performance, the thought of doing so always leaving Dream a little choked up). Over the years, Dream gets a few more from the few friends he's able to create, never getting himself another device. There's not many, maybe a max of 3 mp3 players before an method to significantly increase the amount of storage space is created(once Dream finds that he doesn't think before buying it. Soon enough, its connected to the little off-yellow player).
Definitely he to listens to every type of music, finding something interesting in every genre, but indie rock just happens to be the most he has saved(if you asked Dream what his favorite genre was, he wouldn't be able to answer). He uses the other mp3 players to save entire albums he enjoys, then deciding what song to listen to in his down time became stressful and the shuffle button on his mp3 has started turning gray much to his dismay. Some songs hit too close to home, and for many years he quietly saved those onto the player. No, it'll never be seen or known by another person. Unless Dream let you know him, you'd never know he listens to music as much as he does.
Overtime, I think, Blue would eventually get a sticker on one of them. Dream isn't entirely sure how he feels about it, but the sticker is glowing like a bright star. It certainly isn't being taken off anytime soon
Looking more into the Hermits and the endings of them all, some of my favorites has to be Tango’s and Bdubs endings. There’s a lot of potential angst if you’ve watched both episodes. ( I highly recommend watching both. ) In Tango’s EP, he’s travelled to the moon and received a transmission. In that video transmission is a cut up, glitchy video of Bdubs updating Tango on how the moon is currently affecting( slowly messing with the gravity and y’know- ripping it apart ) Hermitcraft. During Bdubs ending, he’s completely blissful. Flying around Hermitcraft and laughing, living in a bliss, simply looking away from the moon above to instead enjoy life around Hermitcraft. In Tango’s final EP, we see a much different Bdubs. Bdubs somehow got a method to send a transmission to Tango, this implies he was aware that Tango was on the moon. ( He says Tango’s name at the start of the transmission. ) This implies that Bdubs knew something about Tango’s mission, to what extent he was aware, I am not sure, but he knew that, at the least, Tango was heading to the moon to do something there. This Bdubs in the transmission is also panicked, telling Tango not to return to Hermitcraft because everything was being destroyed. In the timeline of events, I believe the Bdubs transmission happened first, then that leads into Bdubs final episode. Now, into my headcannon, au thingy. Bdubs knew about Tango’s mission and his intent to blow up the moon. Bdubs, discovering this, put trust into Tango to complete his mission and save all of Hermitcraft, which is why he doesn’t prepare a way to escape. ( Or Tango reached out to Bdubs and asked him to be his eyes on the ground to know if he succeeded. ) Bdubs completely puts his trust in Tango to blow up the moon and save them all. By the time the moon is nearing and nothing has happened, Bdubs is slowly losing hope and has nothing prepared, and sends him that transmission in panic. But nothing comes from it and Hermitcraft is still being destroyed. so he distracts himself with other things, makes fun out of it, lives in a bliss in order to cope with his impending doom. His only hope is Tango doing something to stop the moon.
And at the end of the night, Tango failed at his mission to save hermitcraft and failed Bdubs.
What the Grian what the grian what the grain what the grain-
Grian: The boulder- the Entity, it kinda took over. It spoke to me, it said “I don’t want to be a house.” It speaks to you- YEAH THIS THING IS SENTIENT ( I.E me hearing a comment and taking it way out of context into lore. ) Grian mentioned that, after the creation of his starter house, he aims for the vibe of sort of studying the boulder- The Entity <3.
It’s all a faux. Grian actually is The Entity, or connected in some way, and he’s building the starter base to hide this fact from the other hermits. They can’t know where, why, and how it exists. You aren’t supposed to question The Entity after all.
Grian found the heart of The Entity in the hermitisspi It was before a majority of the hermits had arrived in s9. He had taken the heart and hid it in his inventory, it called and spoke to him. When Grian set up shop, it just had the chance of the heart attaching onto stone block and Grian now is doing his best to make the boulder look pretty.
The water circle around the heart is there to hold its heart in place. But it also provides life to the outside area. So despite the area being covered in stone, some hermits where highly confused on the first day when flowers and half grown trees got left in Grian’s wake after getting shoved into the river.
Mumbo got to hold the heart once, only once because Grian was fumbling around and now he is very, very concerned. The heartbeat was nothing like Grian had described it to be calming, majestic, the newest song around! It was just weird and disgusting, nothing even close to the “siren song,” Grian described. So maybe he was alright with Grian setting up a place to study The Entity, and maybe he might be taking copies of those notes whenever he asks to read about them.
