Lyrics: Place a golden flower Glory in the summer Memories in flashes A heart of loss and light Heed your kingdom’s calling A brother’s cry befalling A crown of grief rules nothing left but ashes Lost within the night I’ll see you soon my dear Don’t you shed a single tear Close your eyes my dear You have nothing left to fear Gods among the living A son becomes forgiving But happy ever after Comes with a price to pay Bid your last goodbyes As the light fades from his eyes An echoing of once familiar laughter From a boy as bright as day

“Tubbo had seen as hundred corpses-they’d fallen against him during the battle, or he’d pulled them free from rock and dirt-but few had looked as peaceful as the prince in death. It was almost as if he was sleeping, his mortal wound hidden by his clothes and the red-and-blue coat tucked up to his chin. His head rested against soft hay a shade darker than his own golden hair. Tubbo could almost see himself shaking the prince awake. And the prince would blink drowsiness from his eyes, ask Tubbo who he was, and Tubbo would say, “A friend,” and maybe in another life that wouldn’t be a lie.” everyone else was putting their favorite passerine quotes in the comments so here’s mine to fuel the fire that is our collective sadness over fictional men

Fav passerine scene: Mother said with a small smile, but her eyes were sad. “Deep breaths now, Wil. Tell me what you know.” “I was in a city in the north,” Wilbur said, his mouth tasting of ash and melting snow. “Outside a-a church. With broken windows.” “Yes, you were.” “I don’t play the violin.” “No, you don’t.” Wilbur glanced at his mother’s painting, the one with soft colors and old lines. “And Tommy will never live past fifteen.” “No,” Mother replied, regret and sorrow-two of Wilbur’s own restless shadows-gleaming in her eyes, “he won’t.” “And you’re dead, too,” Wilbur continued, freefalling into the abyss, “aren’t you?” “Yes, I am.”

“It’s pretty tragic, isn’t it?” The question stopped Tommy dead in his tracks. He turned towards the person who’d asked, and found himself in front of a girl seated by a grindstone, slowly sharpening a small blade. “Pardon?” The girl smiled as she nodded towards the flowers in his hands. “Morning glories. They wilt the same day that they bloom, lasting only until the sun sets.” She paused. “Maybe less, now that you’ve picked them.”

Favorite passarine quotes: “Tommy was spotless. Tommy was dead.” “Technoblade never dies, they whispered around campfires and funeral pyres. He prayed that wasn’t true.” “You’d make good friends, she’d said, but that wasn’t right. Tommy felt, inexplicably, down to his bones, that if he’d met that boy, they would be brothers.” “I will love you. Without requisite or deadline, I will love you.” “War. Such a small word for such a big thing.” “Death. Such a small word for such a big thing.” “Fate. Such a small word for such a big thing.” “God. Such a big word for such a small thing.” “There was pain. So much pain. He thought he’d already felt pain, but what did he truly know? He was only fifteen.” “Tubbo could almost see himself shaking the prince awake. And the prince would blink drowsiness from his eyes, ask Tubbo who he was, and Tubbo would say, “A friend,” and maybe in another life that wouldn’t be a lie.” “Niki hoped, at the very least, that they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave.” “At fifteen years old, Tommy was the oldest he’d ever been, but he never felt so young.” “A boy-king first, and then just a king, and now a brother far from home. Who would he be the day he died?” “And through a blur of tears, Tubbo saw what the general had left behind, tucked gently behind the prince’s ear, like a final offering: a single yellow rose.” “And looking at Tommy’s peaceful face was what finally, finally, made Technoblade-emperor of ice, blood god, destroyer of worlds-cry.” “Wilbur.” Tommy had reached out to clutch at his brother’s shirt. “Wilby, please, don’t hurt me.” There was a loaded pause. “You did?” Tommy didn’t know if Techno sounded more impressed or indignant. “When?” “This afternoon, after my little brother looked me in the eyes and I realized just how much I have to lose.” “Little killer king, you’ve finally grown into your role.” “The girl smiled as she nodded towards the flowers in his hands. “Morning glories. They wilt the same day that they bloom, lasting only until the sun sets.” She paused. “Maybe less, now that you’ve picked them.” “Tommy really did get a lot taller. In time, he would grow to be even taller than Philza was. If only he hadn’t died before he could.”

Tubbo’s cheeks felt warm. He knew he must be crying. He knew he must be sad. But for whom? Who was he even mourning? His kingdom’s prince, yes, but the harsher truth, a stranger. A stranger whose laughter still faintly echoed in Tubbo’s head like a half-remembered song from a distant childhood. A stranger who’d gambled his life for his kingdom and lost it a heartbeat away from victory-if this bitter thing could even be called that. A stranger that felt like no stranger at all. But a stranger nonetheless, Tubbo reminded himself. And through a blur of tears, Tubbo saw what the general had left behind, tucked gently behind the prince’s ear, like a final offering: a single yellow rose.

I'm thinking dream makes different universe where different things happen but follow the same plot, kinda. Like how the dream smp character relation ships and actions are mentioned.

In the dream smp universe dream must be trying a different story than all the other ones he's made.

“You know, Your Highness,” the girl said at length, “you remind me of someone. He’s a soldier in this camp, and about your age, as well. He’s off somewhere training right now, but I have this feeling that if you’d only meet, you’d make good friends.” Tommy opened his mouth to reply, but found he could only nod in agreement. The girl gave him a small, sad smile, as if she could understand his silence even more than if he had spoken, and went back to her work. Tommy pried his feet from the ground and begun walking towards the heart of the camp, but the girl’s words followed close on his heels. That was the true tragedy, wasn’t it? More than the flowers that only bloomed for a day, the bitterest devastation was in the what-ifs. Tommy didn’t understand why, but he found himself lingering one scenario: a different life where he had met that person that he reminded the girl of, where neither of them were young soldiers. You’d make good friends, she’d said, but that wasn’t right. Tommy felt, inexplicably, down to his bones, that if he’d met that boy, they would be brothers. sorry i cried writing it too :']

[@haru.4267]

This. Why is no one talking about this quote? I never see it brought up anywhere. It’s the saddest part of the story for sure; what ifs. What if Wilbur and Tommy’s Mother lived? What if Phil stayed? What if Tommy had met Tubbo, even if just a few moments before his demise? What if Wilbur had given out the okay to Techno? What ifs, empty promises and futures that will never be, imagined only by the hopeful, symbolized by a single tear shed by Tommy.

They've all done terrible things but all have reasons for it. They've all suffered. What Niki did wasn't great, but it was at the order of her king and at her own expense.

“Wilbur.” Tommy turned to his brother. “You know I love you, right?” The king gave him a sharp look. “What the hell are you talking about?” Tommy swallowed thickly, trying - and failing - to keep the tears in. “I - I love you. I don’t think I ever said it, but it’s true. I figured, if it’s my last chance-“ “This is not your last chance,” Wilbur snapped, his eyes darkening. He whirled around, facing Technoblade, who stood between them and the mysterious soldier. “Techno!” “We’ll play for you,” Techno vowed. “When we get home, we’ll play for you as many times as you want, Tommy. I’ll let you beat me when we spar. I’ll let you braid my hair, or even cut it all off if you want to. Anything you want, just keep your eyes open.” A shadow fell over them, in the shape of wings that Tommy had only seen once before, when he had flown out of Tommy’s bedroom window and out of their lives forever. Or, not forever. Tommy tried to raise his head, to see his father’s face, but the pain was too much. “Dad,” Tommy whispered. He still wanted to do so much. He still wanted to scream at Wilbur and then embrace him. He still wanted to find flowers for Techno’s hair. He still wanted to go home, to the kingdom that they had protected. He still wanted to hug his dad. But a darkness was quickly gathering. “Tommy?” Tommy had no idea who had said his name. It all sounded so very far away. “Don’t leave me,” Tommy begged. “Please. I’m so scared.” “We’re here, Tommy.” A kiss on his forehead. Someone holding his hand. Strong arms around him. Wilbur, humming his old lullaby. Warmth, even in the dark. “We’ll always be here.” -too late. “Thank you,” Tommy breathed. “Thank you. I…” He had so much left to say, so much left to offer. Love. Forgiveness. Cheer. But he would leave it there, until he woke up again. Tommy’s eyes drifted shut. His mother’s laughter had never sounded clearer. And the baby began to cry. Wilbur pulled back, astonished, his face drawn in awe. “What is it?” he asked frantically. “Did I do something wrong?” “No,” Phil sobbed, falling to his knees before the three of them-his lovely, laughing wife, his kind, bewildered Wilbur, and his loud, shrieking Tommy. “You did everything right, my boy. You’re perfect.” Now Wilbur held his brother-a baby no longer, but still so, so small-to his chest as they walked through the quiet, empty camp. Wilbur spoke the words he’d first spoken to his brother all those years before, over and over, like an enchantment or a prayer to bring him back to life once more. “I will love you forever, I will love you forever, I will love you forever.” But this time, Tommy did not wake up. And Philza was still made of stone. Sorry I’m not sorry

"When the blood god returned with his cheeks aglow and a pack full of fresh fish hunted from a king-sized hole in the ice, he found a father and a son speaking fondly of times long gone, their laughter soft and their faces bright. For once, there were more things to be said than not, and moments of silence were few and far in between. They ate and drank and toasted to murmured names of the dead and buried. They told stories, as people used to tell stories of an immortal hunter and a harbinger of death. They spoke of gardens and forests, apple orchards and a woman whose son inherited her hair and eyes and heart. But above all, they spoke of a thunderstorm bottled in a boy, the sun at the center of everything."

since this comment section is already entirely passerine quotes, let me share my favorite excerpt: “I was content, for a while, to watch the kingdom grow. But these mortals and their short, fitful lives… they draw you in, Technoblade. I used to think they were moths drawn to flame, doomed to catch fire for the most inconsequential things. We’ve seen their wars, you and I. We’ve fought them. We both know the things they do to each other.” Philza took hold of the balcony railings as if it was the only thing keeping him from floating away. “But over the years I’ve also learned of the things they do for each other. Their lives will always be one year, one week, one day short, but it doesn’t seem to matter much to them. They live anyway. They love anyway. Forgive an old god for wanting a piece of that for himself.”

[@roku_9074]

He had a life before this. A mother, a father, a home. Sisters, and brothers. But what he had now was alright, too. He stood alone in front of his bedroom mirror, combing his hair back from his face to braid it for the day, tucking it behind an ear where a sapphire earring hung, catching the sunlight. He paused when he saw it, leaned in close just to make sure it wasn’t a trick of the light, or the lingering traces of a dream. He blinked, once, twice, his mortal heart catching in his throat. There, nestled among the pink strands, delicate as a bird’s wing, was a single gray hair. If he listened carefully, he could hear his brother coming down the hallway, looking for him, but this moment was his alone. Half-sobbing, half-laughing, he fell against his chair and closed his eyes against the sudden sting of tears. He could see, in his mind, a field of flowers under an open sky-a place made for waiting, where all the finished stories went, where he would go someday, too. A knock came at his door. Technoblade began to smile. -Passerine, chapter 7

You were being all sad again,” Wilbur muttered, pulling his knees up to his chin. He looked up just as Tommy came toddling towards them, his arms a burst of color-yellow alstroemerias, white daisies, purple malvas, and freesias the color of Technoblade’s hair. “Oh, gods,” Technoblade groaned as Tommy dumped his collection before them proudly.

I’ll be here.” Wilbur wanted to say more, or perhaps he didn’t. Outside, somewhere far away, bells began to toll, chiming his mother’s death ballad. Heralding his ascension. Tell the boys I’m sorry. His father's voice this time, as quiet as the rest. In between one breath and the next, Wilbur was king. In between one breath and the next, he was asleep.

“Because my spirit is too big for my own body,” she replied haughtily. “And I’m tired of some random man deciding my lives for me. He didn’t even ask if I wanted to be a human being.

No. Instead, he made me small and stinky and boring.” She wrinkled her nose in disgust. “I want to be more than someone else’s backstory. I want to be the hero.

Techno scoffed. “Immortal life. That should be an oxymoron.” He looked down at his hands, clenching and unclenching them in his lap. “There is not much living to be done when you’re immortal, Wilbur. I think there comes a point when every person-immortal or otherwise-finally does everything they were meant to do. Everything that comes after is just... additions. The only difference is that mortals get to… go. You get to finish your story. Close your book.” He took a deep, rattling breath. “I’ve always envied you for that.” “Are you done, then?” Wilbur asked, his expression caught between furious indignation and the fear of losing yet another brother. “Do you think you’ve done everything?” “My life was fulfilled the day I met you and Tommy,” Techno said. “Everything that came after was an epilogue I frankly didn’t deserve. After we get him back, someday-not someday soon, I hope, but someday, I want to get to follow you to wherever finished stories go.”

[@themysticblade5919]

My favorite moment in Passerine "The crying stopped immediately. “Oh, gods.” Wilbur put his face in his hands. “You’re not supposed to say that, Techno. You’re never supposed to say that!” “What? What?” Technoblade demanded, panic seeping into his voice for the first time since Wilbur met him. “What did I do? What the hell did I do?” Tommy sniffled. “You said you’ll do… anything?” Realization dawned on Technoblade’s face. “Well, not anything, per se…” Tommy’s eyes began to water once more. “Okay, okay, okay.” Technoblade ran his hands across his face in frustration. “Fine. One thing, and you’ll shut up forever.” “I want to braid your hair,” Tommy said at once. Technoblade blinked. “What?” “What?” Wilbur echoed. “You once got me to let you ride me like a pony across the castle, and you ask him to let you braid his hair?” Tommy nodded with all the solemnity of a judge announcing someone’s death sentence. Wilbur and Technoblade exchanged glances-Technoblade, one of bewilderment, and Wilbur, one of utmost betrayal. That was how they found themselves wasting the morning away, sitting together on the damp grass. Wilbur leaned back on his hands and raised his face to the sun, letting the light settle against his skin. He could hear Tommy scurrying around, gathering flowers, as the spring breeze blew through the garden. For a moment, all Wilbur could feel was a sudden, all-consuming affection-not for anything in particular. For everything. For the brilliant spinning wheel in the sky turning everything into burnished gold. For the soft dirt beneath his hands. For the air in his lungs and the pollen on his tongue. For the distant sound of his brother’s footsteps. For the boy sitting beside him that, against all odds, Wilbur found he might actually like beyond mere tolerance. For the levity that had started to chase away the more exhausting thoughts."

“‘I’m the god of freedom,” Philza said. “And I’m flying the fuck out of here.’ ‘Damn right you are.’ Tommy grinned, still flickering. Still all of him. ‘So, go.’ Philza spread his wings, aiming for the sky. He was the god of freedom, and he was flying the fuck out of here. But also, more than that, he was a father. So, despite the world waiting for him beyond the sapphire sky, he turned to look at his son one last time. His golden boy with the golden smile. And he hugged him. It was a simple thing, a quiet thing, that parents have been doing for their children since the very concept of parenthood was created. But still, to Phil, it felt like a revelation.

I was constantly tearing up during Passerine but the part that broke me was: “It’s alright,” Techno whispered to the brother he knew was still somehow listening, somewhere. “I won’t hurt you again. It’s over.” His heart stuttered out its final pulses. “I’m never going to hurt anyone again.” Techno thought Wilbur’s hands must have trembled a bit, but it could have been his own vision failing, or a trick of the dying light. “It’s alright,” Techno repeated softly, believing it with everything he had left in him. “It is not your fault.”

“Are you alright?” he asked worriedly. “Yes,” she whispered back, as if there was an invisible threat she was careful not to startle. “Just tired.” “Do you want me to carry you on my back?” “No.” She took a deep breath. “We always have to walking side by side. This is how it happened.” Confusion and panic warring inside him, Techno said, “How what happened?” She suddenly paused, pulling Techno to a stop with her. She had her eyes fixed straight, looking off towards a horizon Techno couldn’t see. There was only the dark, and the weight of her small hand slowly growing colder in his. “Techno,” she said slowly, quietly, too unlike the brilliant girl that spoke of souls and adventures and frogs in the rain just a few hours-days-years-eons ago. “Techno,” she repeated firmly, turning towards him with wide, fearful eyes. “Techno, what’s my name?” Techno opened his mouth to answer, but silence was his only reply.

"It was a sad song. It was a happy song. It was a song of a summer day from years ago, tucked between faded memories like a flower pressed between the pages of a heavy book, now dusted off and clean. It was a song of an artist mother and a warrior father, and sons that were both. It was a song about the grass beneath Wilbur’s feet and the sweet scent of flowers in his lungs. It was a song about war and ruin, and grief and loss, and the nightmares that still managed to take him by surprise even when he was awake, and living anyway. It was a song about love and all the ways to say it: sacrifice and a cup of hot tea waiting at his desk, chess during the lazy days and music during the hard ones, leaving and staying, remembering and forgetting. It was a song about family, born or made or found or rediscovered. It was Tommy’s grave at his back. Mother’s unfinished painting. Father’s necklace around his neck. And when the final note echoed off into silence, there was no standing ovation, no raucous applause. Just like the voices for the past two years, six months and three days, there was only silence. It was the most beautiful sound."

Rest in Peace Technoblade. I know this song is only slightly related to him, but it fits. I don't know you, and you don't know me, however I'm sure we can agree Technoblade was truly a legend. Technoblade never dies.

“Dad!” Tommy shouted, spreading his arms wide as he ran, like a bird about to take flight. “Tommy.” Dad’s smile was still the same, after all these years. He opened his arms, welcoming Tommy into an embrace. “My boy. You’ve grown so much.”

dropping my favorite quote because nobody every talks about nikis flower shop and the sad old man “It was felt by an old neighbor looking after the shop of the kind girl who always had been so kind to him. A sign stood at the door. Closed indefinitely, it said, but the neighbor knew it would be closed forever. And still he’d come, day after day. His wife was gone and so was the kind girl. But the flowers, oh, they still needed watering.”

“So when a winged man would appear from the north, days or years or eons from now, he would find a familiar stone around the neck of a child that he would recognize right away by the familiar shape of their smile, and he would know he was home. “

the last chapter made me sob, just when i thought i was done i read another paragraph and there i went again

[@sorryuwu5569]

"It was felt by a god in a valley. Beside him was a freshly-dug grave with only a sword of pure obsidian to mark its place among the dead. The god had always known that he would one day stand alone; once there were three, and now there was one. He’d lost one of them to love and the other to fear, and some days, he wondered if there was any difference. When pain always came in the wake of love, when every devotion led to a burial ground, when every dream was a nightmare sleeping, would it be worth loving at all? Yes, said the dirt underneath his fingernails, testimony to his lonely gravedigging. Yes, said the wind coming in from the north. Yes, said first drop of rain striking his cheek, like a cold reminder to seek shelter, like a gentle kiss from two lost friends. Yes, it would." - Passerine, Chapter 7 I'm surprise no one is freaking out about this. Isn't the unamed god George? He lost his 2 friends, also he was not found ;-;

Now Wilbur held his brother-a baby no longer, but still so, so small-to his chest as they walked through the quiet, empty camp. Wilbur spoke the words he’d first spoken to his brother all those years before, over and over, like an enchantment or a prayer to bring him back to life once more. “I will love you forever, I will love you forever, I will love you forever.” But this time, Tommy did not wake up.

I had read Passerine. I was just reading Butterfly Reign wherein Techno placed a gold Rose on Tommy's head, then after crying over that. I moved to Spotify only for this song to play. The realization that this song embodies Techno now just makes me feel bittersweet.

"War. Such a small word for such a big thing." "Death. Such a small word for such a big thing." "Fate. Such a small word for such a big thing." "God. Such a big word for such a small thing." "Putting a gentle hand on the top of Tommy's blonde head. The boy arched towards the touch like a sunflower reaching for the sun." "And then Philza did something Technoblade would never, in a hundred or a million years, had expected him to do. He kneeled." "The voices paused. Just for a moment. Just for a breath as they all considered the weight of Philza's. And, gods, that silence - however brief, however fleeting - was the sweetest thing Technoblade had ever heard." "Alright. You and me one more time." "I want to braid your hair." Tommy said at once." "I'm not done yet!" Tommy said, and produced one more flower - a single yellow rose. "This one's my favorite," he added as he gently tucked the flower behind Technoblade's ear, the one with the emerald earring that Wilbur had found so familiar, "because it means friendship." "Are we friends then?" Tommy stood and brushed grass from his pants. "Well obviously." "It was the last good day." "Techno," it said. "Tell the boys I'm sorry and tell Wilbur he will be a better king than I ever was." "Tell me how the story ends" Wilbur begged, even as he felt the last of his consciousness slowly fracture into nothingness. "Tell me you'll still be here when I close the book." "In between one breath and the next, Wilbur was king. In between one breath and the next, he was asleep." "At fifteen years old, Tommy was the oldest he'd ever been but he never felt so young." "Once upon a time, Tommy had existed in the same universe as his mother." "It seemed to Tommy that people were haunted by two types of ghosts: the ghosts of those who died, and those who left. It was just his luck that he had both." ""Tommy..." Wilbur whispered into Tommy's hair, "you were six." "At seventeen years old, Tubbo was the oldest he'd ever been, but he never felt so young." "If Tommy said they were going to win, then by the gods, neither of them would tell him otherwise, not when he looked the happiest he'd been in a month." "It's you and me," said Technoblade, putting one hand on top of Tommy's head, the other on Wilbur's shoulder. "One more time." "Tommy felt, inexplicably, down to his bones, that if he met that boy, they would be brothers." "Blow for blow, hit for hit. They could have gone on like that forever. A god of war and a god of blood. In another life, they might have been allies." "The rest of the had all been told two things: "When you hear the horn, run for your life." and, "Don't tell prince Tommy." "I'll see you all in Hell." She said bitterly and struck the flint into flame." "For my kingdom." She whispered to the empty cave, and let the fire fall." "Niki hoped, at the very least, that they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave." I'm sorry

This. Mother’s soft smile. Tommy’s cheery laugh. Technoblade’s half-hearted protests. Father’s hand on his head. Everything. “Nothing,” Wilbur said. “Forget I said anything.” He smiled at his father, for once without reservation. He had never felt so light. He was almost a son again. “Would you like to watch Techno and I spar?” Father’s expression softened. “Of course. I would be delighted to.” It was the last good day.

The Green God considered them with a tilt of his head, blonde curls falling over glassy green eyes. “They call me by many names. You know me as the Green God. Others brand me the god of chaos. The Progenitor. He Who Pulls. He Who Watches. All silly little names mortals gave to something beyond their understanding.” He placed the book he was reading on the ledge beside him and raised his arms over his head in a languid stretch. “But my friends called me Dream.”
