For the rejected and the monsters. Obligatory MCYT SCP story for Sleepy Bois Inc + Tubbo. A special interest that's consumed my brain utterly for over 4 years now. CookieNomNomCrunch on AO3. They/them š
This is an au that has consumed me. This blog will just be a terrible mess of whatever Iām stuck on for the week, likely with little explanation and heavy spoilers. Anyway, the general vibe + anomalous properties are below cut:
Philza: The Zilant. Is the immortal concept of fire and fury, which pretends to be a dragon, which pretends to be a human. Maintains his personhood by attaching himself to mortals he calls his āCollectedā. Currently: Tommy, Wilbur, The Blade, and Tubbo. Additionally, Philza is very intent on keeping any promise he makes and was kept in the Foundation exclusively because theyād captured his Collected and made a deal. Gives great dad advice, except when the advice is ālet me murder them for you <3ā
Tommy: The Instigator. Has a blood red liquid on his hands that grows when heās scared. When people touch it, they become aggressive to anyone but Tommy. At low TI-Red levels this leads to things like bickering, but it escalates to physical violence and brutality. When TI-Red levels consume him and he thinks heās going to die, he summons The Blade. Lived as a normal human and met Wil, Phil, and The Blade after a summoning at 15; visited the homeless guys occasionally till the Foundation captured at 16. Abandonment issues, highly touch starved, used as a Thaumiel. Collected Tubbo.
The Blade: The Blood God. Is a massive boar behemoth with voices in his head. When attacked (or if thereās an orphan), becomes The Blood God, who will bend the universe to ensure he wins. The Blade only comes back when the challenge has been completed. Grew up as a monster in the woods, but pulled himself up out of the voices, figured out what was him and what was The Blood God, and established his own personhood. Somehow has a college degree, met Phil and Wil during a gap year. Loves gardening and murdering people for Tommy. Also managed to come out of the Foundation the least traumatized, iconic.Ā
Wilbur: Soot. [tags are noms Wilbur or scp Wilbur if you want to block] His legs magically rearrange so he is the tallest humanoid in the room. Oh also the void in the side of his face that eldritch abominations claw their way out of. Was basically a feral starving child till ~14 when Philza forcefully adopted him. A chronic insomniac with a heart of gold and a tongue of silver, held together despite the inherent contradictions between being a supreme survivalist and a drama hoe. Memory issues because he represses basically everything.Ā
Tubbo: The Pollinator. Is a honeycomb skin suit for approximately 400,000 bees. Uses they/them we/us pronouns, because they are a Hive mind/system containing at least three humans: a Little, a Foundation employee, and a lawyer/farmer. Tubbo grew up mostly normal, albeit in secret. The most recently captured by the Foundation, and a staunch pacifist. This causes them to be at odds with Philza, who did a few murderous rampages too many, and The Blade, for the reason above and also because he destroyed their legs. But they stick around because theyāre attached to Tommy.Ā
Basic vibes are found family, hurt/comfort, questions of morality, and trauma at the hands of the Foundation and each other. Things get messy, but itās all bound together with love at the end of the day.
All Nom commissions are prompt gifts for donations to charitable causes, such as the environment, social justice rights, or victims of wars. I will not cover topics of romance, sex, or write about George, Dream, or Wilbur.
Writing: Base 5$ gets a minimum of 300 words. 10$ 1,000 word minimum, 20$ 3,000. I also have no self-control, and there is no additional payment if the prompt is amazing and I break the world limit.
Drawing: Base 5$ gets a drawing in full color. 'Animatics' start at 40$ for a verse, and the price increases for color.

so the thing is, right. Death will not save lambs Philza. To die is to have failed to kill the monsters inhabiting the place of his children. And for Prime, a warrior god, that failure is a sin. Phil goes to hell. And āTommyā would find him.
Transphobia is being signed into law in the UK. Let's fight it together.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the rescheduled Mass Lobby at Parliament, now on Wed Sept 9th, 1pm-5pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a con
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It became statutory guidance in the UK on August 5th, 2026.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or donāt pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Our demands have changed. Ask your MP to:
Write to Ministers and Prime Minister Andy Burnham to say they are profoundly concerned by the rolling back of trans rights, and that they believe that it is time for Parliament to legislate to protect equality for trans people.
Ask parliamentary questions focused on protecting trans peopleās rights and defending trans peopleās abilities to live safe and dignified lives.
Speak up both inside and outside Parliament in defence of trans peopleās rights.
Meet regularly with trans constituents to understand their lived realities.Ā
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
We have already had some wins because we took action. The 2026 EHRC guidance has already rolled back its most harmful elements because of mass campaigning by individuals like us, and groups like The Good Law Project. This summer, 166 MPs signed the Early Day Motion 240 to reject the EHRC Code of Practice, because of our campaigning. That is 1 in 4 MPs.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. On the day, you'll get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Here is an online briefing for lobbyists (10 mins read for essential info, 20 mins for details)
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?Ā
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if theyāre already in Parliament. Even if they donāt, theyāre made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations canāt provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination. e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, menās rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee. If youāre a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from womenās bathrooms if youāre perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a āthird spaceā bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).Ā A womenās only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ālesbianā, and therefore no longer have legal protections if theyāre discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
Sign up for the mass lobby and email your MP here, or click the main link above.
If you are not in the UK but want to support the case, please donate to The Good Law Project.
Save the date and book off work!! I will see you there :))
[If Technoblade were to tell the truth, he doesnāt trust the god in the slightest. But he has nothing to lose, and the chance of becoming a god is tempting. Technoblade shakes Skeppyās hand, and accepts his quest.]

Human Tommy who is a little too old to have a monster under his bed but does so any way. Technoblade is far less chuffed about the fact. Heās a monster of nightmares! A beast of shadow and fear! And yes maybe he accidentally tripped the first time he tried to eat Tommy and then the kid was laughing and making fun of him, so now all his fear powers are USELESS since under-the-bed monsters are utterly defined by perception. And yet no matter how many times he tries to leave to go and eat someone else, Techno somehow canāt, because Tommy doesnāt expect him to be able to (and maybe, just maybe, Tommy needs someone to stay with him, just for a little longer, so he isnāt so horribly alone. And of course, an under-the-bed monster gets shaped by that need). Technoās power dwindles as Tommy gets comfortable around him, as he begins to starve with no orphans to eat.
But Tommy sometimes drops Cheetos down for him, so maybe itās not so bad. And sometimes a hand dangled off the side of the bed, brushing at the edges of shadowy fur. And sometimes when Tommy finally feels safe enough to fall asleep, Techno bites the edge of the blanket to pull it up over him.
Techno isnāt getting enough to eat at all, and every day heās weaker. Cuddlier too, cause of the child magic, soft and sweeter than heās meant to be. It feels like heās being de clawed. It feels like he doesnāt quite mind. Techno lays enervated beneath the bed, asking all sorts of questions about the world beyond outside the shadows and alleys. Learning about things like school and reading. Tommyās really good at reading, and trying to teach Techno what all the squiggles mean so Techno can read while Tommyās at school.
All the stories start to shift how he views the world. Figuring out like, how sad kids feel when their pet gold fish dies (how sad humans feel when their kid gets eaten). Or how growling isnāt very nice. What it means to be a person instead of a beast.
And Tommy, he yearns for the under-the-bed world, where you can mess up all the time and donāt have to do detentions or homework, and none of the other kids mutter about you in the halls. And youāre safe because youāre the biggest baddie around and you can just eat anyone you donāt like.
Technoās getting hungrier and hungrier every day. But maybe he doesnāt mind. Maybe this is the only way he can be a nice creature, soft and tame. He canāt eat Tommy, not at this point. And heās starting to suspect even his bloodthirst couldnāt drive him to eat a different kid, either, forever to wonder if theyād read him stories and pet his fur, too.
And maybe Techno didnāt ask about all of Tommyās bruises cause those are normal in under-the-bed world. But maybe he is starting to see why thatās wrong even if Tommy keeps trying to convince him otherwise, increasingly frantic to hush him up. Cause itās the first time Technos ever seen Tommy scared. And a part of him lurches, devouring that fear, glowing eyes flashing open for the first time in days. But Techno canāt leave the bed without death-fear bleeding into the air, so he canātĀ doĀ anything. Even on the nights when Tommy gets eerily quiet. At most he can poke his head out on the nights when heās sobbing, licking his wet cheeks and trying not to think about how delicious they are.
It gets hard to do even manage that the longer since heās eaten.
For Tommy, well, itās gotten a lot easier to bear now heās got Techno to come back to. And he wonāt ruin that for the world, and in the mind of a kid nothing is more powerful than an abuser. Heās so scared that Techno will get taken from him too, tossed out with all his other belongings. And he knows better to dig in the dumpster anymore after Dad caught him that one timeā then he got locked in the pit of the garbage for hours. He canāt let his friend get tossed out too like his stuffed animals and photos and the small pocket knife heād stolen for safety.
But no matter how hard Tommy tries to be good, it just doesnāt come naturally to creatures like him, like Techno. He messes up. He always will. And this time he goes running to hide under-the-bed because itās the only safety heās ever known. Besides, thatās where the monsters are meant to be. Alongside the loathsome beasts and the mongrels is where he belongs, or so Dad tells him.
Techno curls around the boy, the scent of his fear curling through his nostrils. He shudders at the terrible hunger in him, salivating at the prey burying itself in his clutches. And when the door slams open, the pure fear bleeds into the air, into the monster, who swells with ravenous power.
A large hand plunges under-the-bed, clawing into hair and yanking.
Techno rips into the abuser, the most vicious heās ever been. Fueled by pure terror, he surges into a behemoth, snarling and lethal. Yet starving for so long, chained by a child convinced his foe is all-powerful, he wasnāt supposed to win. Yet Techno grits his tusks and pushes himself, further and further, because he needs this manĀ dead.Ā Heās not strong, but heās fast, dodging blows and striking out in raking claws and fierce nips. Heās not strong, but heās clever, lurching out of the way of charges so the foe slams into things, hurling blankets that blind and entangle. Heās not strong, but heās evil. The evil, wretched, remorseless monster under-his-bed, and thereās only room for one monster in Tommyās life.
Techno stands over the corpse of the abuser, and in a frenzy feeds for the first time in weeks. The wrenching of bones from sockets and the crack of eviscerating teeth fills the room. And as the blood frenzy fades, the sound of crying.Ā
The fear is undeniable for a feeding monster. Techno lunges for the next prey, and the next, desperate after starving for so long. For the first time, Tommyās scared of Techno. Of the thing thatās devoured the looming titan of his life. That sort of terror is a death knell, with a monster under-the-bed. Techno snarls in delight, making sure to scrape his claws along the floorboards as he approaches, relishing the fear. Tommyās sob chokes as he slinks under-the-bed, the expectation of his death ensuring it.
Techno slowly, carefully, breaths in the scent of his terror. And then proceeds to devour every last drop of fear. A tricky thing when everything in him craves blood. But with great pains and precision, he eats only the fear and not the boy.
Tommy curls into him as his terror dies in chunks, leaving him with a strange null. He doesnāt know how to feel at all. Safe? Is this safety? Is this beast curled around him what safety feels like? Is the blood in its fur?
After a few minutes they pick up bits and bobs. Steal money and food and supplies. And they plunge into the night, knowing nothing can possibly be more dangerous.
Techno feels strange. Not quite an under-the-bed monster anymore, but a full fledged imaginary friend.
Techno of the āyou cannot kill me in any way that mattersā variety, a zombified Piglin with warped forest mushrooms crawling through his fur. The Piglins avoid it for a good reason, but Techno never feared consequences, never feared death, and now he never will. Technoblade never dies. Maybe Technoblade already has, and it wasnāt enough to stop him, either.

The Lambs Wolves WearĀ and hair cultural signifiersĀ
Some fun background world building for Lambs that Philzaās perspective eventually explores. In Philzaās culture, braids and ribbons can tell quite a bit of information about someone. Generally they are signifiers of relationships and dynamics. Here are a few of their meanings:
A child gets their first braids at one years old, along with their name. This is cause thereās a high infant mortality rate.Ā
A childās hair is done by their parents. This is shown through the complexity of the braids, which in general is a signifier of how much the person doing the braiding cares. Thereās an awful lot of time and trust thatās implied in them. Conversely, orphans or kids being raised by other guardians donāt have the same types of braids, often simpler. Not that they canāt be loved the same amount of course, but that the orphan status is an important part of the childās history easily decoded by an observer.Ā
Children will also have siblings braids, one per sibling on one side of the head. These are the simplest braids possible, and usually messy when done by the actual sibling. Theyāre designed to be a way for siblings to practice braiding others hair.
Through the week, braids can be redone (or not) whenever desired depending on preference, but must beĀ Ā redone on holy dayās evening. Itās expected to be a time dedicated to Prime. In practiceā¦.this doesnāt always play out lol.Ā
When advancing from childhood, a person will generally cut their hair short to claim independence, and will be expected to braid their own hair, typically in different styles suited for self braiding. Tend to still have sibling braids, but parent strands arenāt expected because at that point theyāre an adult. Most do this at 18, but it depends on the kid.Ā
Wilbur cut his hair in an act of rebellious defiance circa age 13, and regrets it a lot even if he wonāt admit it. Technoblade hasnāt cut his hair because he canāt be bothered with things like teenage rebellion.Ā
Once adults, simpler braids are done for oneself, again with complex ones denoting a loved one, typically a partner, close friend, or family. Hereās lots of context specific types for things like celebrations, tragedies, trying to find a partner, certain jobs.Ā
All this varies wildly by class. Philzaās family puts some effort into it but doesnāt have much money to spare for anything really fancy. Also the practicality must be considered for the farmers, and how long a squirming Tommy can sit still for!Ā
As a widow, Philza has his bangs pulled back into a bow (black for mourning). He has no braids. Itās a simple hairstyle designed to be done by himself since thereās no one left in his life to do it for him :)
When a person dies they are given the most intricate hair their loved ones can muster. This means bringing out the fine ribbons, adding things like gold and jewels if they can afford it, or other pretty objects if they cannot. Itās so the person can look their best when meeting Prime.Ā
It was hard to hate the man that had held Technobladeās hand as he died.Ā
āTechnobladeā mercifully spared him the pain of it, but there was little they could do to ease the unadulterated terror of dying. But Philza had, or had tried, sitting at Technobladeās bedside as the horrible night dragged on, stroking his long hair tangled with cold sweat and thrashing. Piling Technoblade beneath increasing layers of old quilts, rubbing warmth into his freezing hands. Soothing the incoherent babbling of a mind delirious with the voices of the dead, or the illness his father mistook it for. Telling Technoblade stories to keep his mood up. Telling Technoblade the chills would break soon.Ā
Telling Technoblade he was going to be alright.Ā
Though āTechnobladeā had assured the child of this a thousand times over, it was only Philzaās words that relieved his fear. Philzaās voice should have been drowned in the chorus of the dead, yet Technoblade latched onto it like a lifeline.Ā
One, ultimately, that wasnāt strong enough.
...aka chapter two of The Lambs Wolves Wear is up!!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Mouthwashing style piece for my sbi zombie au, To Return The Favor of Raising Me. Techno has to take responsibility. Thereās no one else left to, no matter the disgusting lengths he goes to keeping the shambling corpse of Philza going. Thereās no one else left. Thereās no one else left.
And the moment Kristin gives an excuse for him to kill her, it might even be true.

Genuinely so cute that Tommy is teaching his neighborās kid to play Minecraft.
really sucks how stressed he is about assuring people itās wholesome and heās not a pedophile, but, as many unfortunate people as that dude worked with as a teen it makes sense :/
FAULT: an SCP SBI AU @nomsfaultau - Tumblr Blog | Tumlook
