Minecraft People are Traumatized (because same)

Summary:

Sorry, I can't think of a title currently, this shall do until now

Basically, all the youtubers have some issues. They bond and argue over it sometimes. But they're all friends in the end

Notes:

So, I do have some of these disorders that are portrayed in the story (ex. tic disorder, adhd), and the ones I don't have, I know people who have, as well as have done some research on, but if I get things wrong, feel free to correct me, politely :]
If any CC's are uncomfortable with this type of story or anything portrayed in it, I can take it down. Most relationships here are completely platonic unless I say otherwise

I hope you enjoy this story, individual trigger warnings will be before each chapter.

In this fic there will be different pronouns for different characters, like different from the actual CC's
In this chapter Dream uses It/Its, Clay uses They/Them, Valentine uses all pronouns, and Sapnap uses He/They

Chapter 1: Dream Team

Chapter Text

Dream rubbed its eyes as it pulled away from the desk, sighing. 

'You should sleep'  Someone's voice said. 

'Clay, is that you?'  It knew it was probably bad that it couldn't recognize its headmate's voice. It wasn't its fault though, it was just so tired. 

'Yes, Dream. It's me. You need to sleep. Thanks for finishing the editing, but it's nearly 2 AM.'

"Mmm.. but I still have one more video, if I could just get..'

Its brain was starting to get fuzzy. It felt someone slowly pushing it out of the front, past co-con, all the way into the innerworld. 

It blinked and looked around. Fuckin Clay and their fuckin 'you need to sleep' bullshit...

It sighed and made its way back to its room. Once it got there, it flopped on the bed. It felt its eyelids start to get heavy, trying to fight it off, but gave in. 

Clay stretched and got out of the desk chair back at the front. They walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. The body hadn't rested or eaten in almost 12 hours. Clay had rested, so they weren't sure they could sleep if they wanted to, so they decided to just get some food. 

They heard the small sounds of movement and purring from Sapnap's room. He'd obviously stolen Patches before he went to sleep. They snuck past the room, not wanting to wake their friend. 

They found some cereal in the pantry and decided to eat that. It was fruity pebbles. Not their favorite, but it would do. They poured some cereal into a bowl, then got out the milk. 

'How dare you put cereal in first, you absolute monster'  Valentine's voice called. 

'You are the monster here'  They responded. 

There was the sound of a huff from the teenager, then they felt her retreat from front back into the innerworld. Clay chuckled a bit as they put the milk away and grabbed a spoon. 

They sat on the counter and ate some of the cereal. 

"Dream? What are you doing up?" Sapnap's voice came from the doorway. 

Clay looked up. "Oh, hi Sapnap. Uh.. Clay not Dream, by the way"

"Oh, okay, sorry"

"It's fine. And to answer your question, Dream was editing late and it was really tired. I decided to try and front so that way it can sleep. Now that I think about it, I probably should've just tried to do co-con or something so I could have the body and it sleep at the same time... ah well, it's 2am cereal time" They smiled and ate another spoonful of cereal. 

"My favorite time of day" Sapnap went to the pantry and got some cereal out to poor some for themself. They poured the milk in and then put the cereal in afterwards. 

Clay gasped. "You put the milk before the cereal?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Hah! See I'm not the only one!" Valentine's took control of the voice. 

"Val, shush" Clay said, trying to push her back away from the front, she also needed sleep. They could hear her grumbling as he walked away, back to his room. 

Clay sighed again. "You're both monsters."

"No, you're outnumbered here. Me and Val win." Sapnap laughed and sat on the counter next to them. 

"Wanna play minecraft until morning now?" Clay asked, deciding not to argue before several alters came out to aggressively debate Sapnap on this.

"Sure"

They jumped off the counter and started walking to their room. Sapnap went to theirs. 

They both joined a discord call and joined minecraft, playing until the light hit their windows.

Chapter 2: Big Man System

Summary:

Tommyinnit times :]

Notes:

Tommy is in a QPR with Ranboo and Tubbo in this, it's all platonic, don't worry. Ranboo uses He/Him, They/Them, End/Ender pronouns and is also a system, Tommy uses He/Him, Tubbo uses He/They/Buzz, Vee uses Ey/Em and They/Them

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Tommy was in the middle of streaming with Ranboo and Tubbo, when he started to feel switchy. His fanbase didn't know about his DID, so he didn't know what to do except try and stay in his own body. 

"What do you think, Tommy?" Ranboo asked. 

"Huh?" He asked, blinking. 

"Oh, we were just wondering your opinion on the shape of the house. Cause Tubbo wants to make it a circle. Which is just not- It's just not correct."

"It's Minecraft. No circles." He said, trying to sound like how he usually did. 

"That's what I was saying!" Ranboo said at the exact same time Tubbo went, "Aww, but it would be fun!"

"Nope, I'm with Enderman boy on this one"

He saw a ping pop up on his discord, which was pulled up on his second monitor. He scrolled up to see it was a DM from Tubbo. He clicked it. 

'You good, big man?' It read.

'Feeling switchy'  He responded.

'Ah, okay. Want to end stream? Ranboo can end theirs too'

'Maybe'

'Alright, you do your outro, you can say you forgot to do schoolwork or something that would make sense'

'okay'

"Oh, fuck, I forgot to do my essay..." He muttered, seemingly to himself. "Well, uhh.. That's the end of the stream, boys! I need to do this essay. See you next time. Goodnight!" He decided to raid Philza since he was streaming, then ended his own, muting himself on the discord call as Ranboo ended their stream too.  

He immediately started dissociating hard. He looked blankly at the computer screen, Tubbo's voice seeming to get farther away. 

Tubbo had asked him to turn on his camera. He managed to move and do that as the other two on the call did as well.

Tubbo looked at Tommy's camera, waiting for him to say something. 

"Hello?" Someone took the front, shaking their head a bit and blinking. "What's going on?"

"Hi, who is this?" Ranboo asked. 

"I-I'm... I'm not quite sure, give me a second.." They said

"Alright, take all the time that you need." Tubbo said. 

They sat in silence for a minute before the person spoke. "..I'm Vee.. Bad's close to front too"

"Hi"

"What's happening?" Ey asked. 

"Tommy was just streaming. He ended it because he was feeling switchy. You're on a call with Tubbo, and Ranboo, me"

"Ah..okay. Hi guys." They shook their head. "Are we playing minecraft?"

"Yeah, wanna play?"

"Sure." Ey pulled up minecraft and changed their skin to their own. 

They joined Tubbo's world, which was simply a creative world where they could build anything they really wanted to. 

"Has anyone built new things?" Vee asked. 

"I think one of the littles did a bit back. Probably Saturn" Ranboo said. 

"Oh, yeah, Saturn did front a while back, Bad says." Vee nodded. 

"Well, what do you want to build?" Ranboo asked.

"Uhm.. Cottagecore aesthetic cottage in the woods."

"That sounds nice." Tubbo said. 

"Let's do it" Ranboo said, going towards the forest. 

Tubbo and Vee followed. 

"This should be fun"

Notes:

Sorry these are kinda short, just trying to set up the story-

Chapter 3: Ender System

Summary:

:]

Notes:

TW: Mentions of Panic Attacks
I refer to Tubbo mainly as Toby in this chapter as to not be confused with the Tubbo that's fronting.
I made up Ranboo's sibling, they use they/them pronouns

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Tubbo didn't know where he was. He had just fronted he assumed. Or this was some weird part of the innerworld. He stood and went to the mirror and the body he was in definitely wasn't his. So he was fronting? He heard a notification from the computer and looked at it. 

'Boo? Are you there?'  It said. It was from Tommy.

Tubbo backread a bit. 

Ah so Ranboo had been having a panic attack. Made sense as to why he was suddenly shoved to front. 

'hi, not ranboo here'  He typed.

'Is end okay?'

'think so. he should be getting calmed down, i assume'

'Who am I talking to?'

'tubbo'

'Tubbo?'

'tubbo fictive. i am based his minecraft lore character'

'okay'

'yh'

'Shit, my mother is calling me, I gotta go, you can talk to Toby or somehting if you wanna talk to someone'

'i think i'll get some pizza or something, actually. bye tommy'

'bye tubbo'

Tubbo stood and stretched, going to walk down the stairs, trying to navigate how to properly work the very tall, lanky body. 

He walked down to see Ranboo's sibling sitting in the kitchen. 

"Hello" They said. 

"Hey"

"Ooo, a brit. Hi, have we spoken?"

"Uhh, I don't think so, this is one of the only times I've fronted"

"Well, hi. My name is Apollo. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Tubbo, I'm a fictive, I'm not quite sure my role in the system yet."

"Of course he has a Tubbo alter"

"Yeah.."

"Wanna eat something?"

"Pizza?"

"Sure, let me ask my mom. If you don't like yelling uhh.. cover your ears."

Tubbo nodded and covered his ears as Apollo shouted. "Mom! Can I order a pizza?!"

"Fine" Their mother shouted back. 

They smiled and pulled out their phone. 

Tubbo moved his hands from his ears and sat on the couch as he waited for the pizza to get delivered. 

Apollo sat next to him and turned on a random show, Tubbo wasn't sure what it was. 

He started to pay attention more as the pizza arrived, eating bites, then going back to fully paying attention to the screen. It seemed to be about a girl in high school who was developing some superpowers and was for sure gay for her friend. He thought it was pretty good. 

He eventually went back upstairs and to Ranboo's room, checking for notifications. There were a few. Toby and Tommy had texted.

He disregarded those and laid down on the bed. He felt someone else's presence. He closed his eyes and decided to wait until someone switched out with him. He decided to try and make more of an effort to front more if this is what it was like. He had fun. He smiled as he slipped out of front.  

Notes:

Sorry for the 3rd short chapter, just getting things set up. :]
The next one should have more plot.

Chapter 4: Conversations and Things

Notes:

So uh
Philza Factive: Philza
Philza: Phil

Chapter Text

Tommy had been thinking for a while and had several conversations with the rest of the system, and they'd all decided to do it today. Today was the day that they were going to tell people other than Ranboo and Tubbo that they were a system. He took a deep breath as his mouse hovered over the join call button. A lot of the SMP was on there because it was lore planning day. 

He clicked the join button.

"-So we'd need at least 4 people for this- oh hi Tommy" Karl stopped talking to greet him

"Hello, Karl!" He said. 

"We were just talking about the next Tales episode. Do you wanna be in it?"

"I will consider it"

"Thanks, we need a few more people"

"Hello Tommy" Ranboo said

"Hello, Ranboozled"

Ranboo sighed audibly. "Why"

"I don't know, Ranboozled, why not"

"Because"

"Alright, Tommy, I have a lore idea for you" Wilbur said

"Oh, do tell"

Tommy sat through a bit of talking, anxiously waiting for a time where he can speak. 

Eventually it came. "Uh.. So I have an announcement." 

"What's up, mate?" Phil asked. 

"Uhm... god this is harder than I thought it would be.." He muttered to himself, trying to see if someone else could front to tell instead of him. He felt someone seem to come up to front. 

"Take all the time you need." Tubbo said, realizing what he was going to say. 

Philza was a caregiver in the Big Man System, and also a factive of Phil. Tommy had always seen Phil as sort of a father figure, so it was no surprise when he showed up as a caregiver. Tommy felt Philza join him in the front. 

"Alright, so.. We have DID. Dissociative Identity Disorder. Basically before Tommy's personality fully formed, he went through repeated trauma and the personality split, making different alters to help him survive the trauma and things." Philza took over the voice to say. 

The call was silent for a moment, and Tommy started assuming the worst. 

"Oh... well who are we speaking to right now?" That was Sapnap.

"Philza, co-con with Tommy"

"Philza?"

"Yes, I'm a factive of Phil that is in the call currently, I'm a caregiver in the system. Tommy was too anxious to properly tell you so I took over."

"Ah, well there's now two of me. Hello, mate" Phil laughed.

"Ayup" Philza responded.

"How many are there in the system, if you don't mind me asking" Karl asked. "And how many have I talked to?"

"Well, as of now there's around 20 alters, I think. I haven't checked in a while. And that's not including the littles. And Karl, I think you've spoken to Tommy and Bad, and that's it"

"Bad, like Darryl Bad?" Skeppy asked. 

"Yeah, we have a Badboyhalo fictive in our system. He's also a caregiver, mainly for the littles though. He's based on BadBoyHalo's minecraft skin though. Very tall, part demon, still gets very angry about swearing." Tommy added in the last part. 

"Ah, well.. cool"

Philza almost snapped that it wasn't cool, it was traumagenic, and they shouldn't say it was cool. But he didn't. "I think I'll let Tommy fully front now if he wants to. If not, you may be stuck with me for a bit"

"That should be fun, two Philza's" Ranboo said, making a little click sound with his tongue afterwards, tics deciding that now was a perfect time to show up. 

"It will indeed be fun" Philza said, letting his voice slip more into his own and less masked like Tommy's. "I do know all about the lore, so we can continue the conversation."

"Alright"

"Before we continue, does anyone else have a big announcement?" Wilbur asked. 

There was a nope answer from almost everyone. 

"Ranboo? you good?" Wilbur asked, not seeing Ranboo's bubble light up like he'd said anything. 

"Hm? Oh.. uh.. yeah, I'm.." They trailed off. 

Tommy pulled up DMs and clicked Ranboo's.

'You okay?'

There was no answer for a bit, a few 'Ranboo is Typing's appearing, until finally

'feeling switchy. should i tell them too?'

'if you want to, they won't tell anyone, i'm sure'

Wilbur started nervously humming Jubilee Line in the voice call, no answer being given from Ranboo making him anxious.

A few seconds later, there was more typing. 

'Hey. It's Wilbur. I think that Ranboo wants me to tell them about us being a system for him or something'

'yeah, i think they do want you to'

'Welp, I guess I will'

Wilbur cleared his throat. "Ayup. Well, another big announcement, I suppose. I'm not Ranboo, he also had DID."

"..Well we're all traumatized it seems" Sapnap said, laughing a bit. "Who are we speaking to?"

"I'm Wilbur. Wilbur Soot. I'm an introject and a protector for the system, not the primary protector, but one of them. Nice to meet you"

"Ayup! Fellow Dirty Crime Boy!" Wilbur in the call said. 

The other Wilbur laughed. "Yep. We also have a Tubbo fictive, and we have a Ghostbur fictive. Ranboo is very attached to you lot"

"We also have a Wilbur introject" Philza said. 

"Really?" Wilbur said. 

"Well, a lot of the system does see you as an older brother figure, so it was no wonder you would appear at some point"

"Hey, you're embarrassing me" Tommy's voice said. 

"Sorry, mate, just speaking the truth" 

Tommy grumbled and tried to get Philza out of front.

Eventually, they started talking about lore again. Both Tommy and Ranboo were very happy that no one said anything bad. They were accepted, they were happy with it.

Chapter Text

Tommy was trying to film a video. It was just going to be another you laugh you lose minecraft video, this time with Quackity, Karl, Ranboo, Tubbo, and Wilbur. Unfortunately for all of them, several of them were having bad tic days. 

It was all going normally, they were filming, Tommy had laughed once, and..

"I won't- pop- I won't laugh," Tommy said, making a pop sound halfway through. 

That one pop sound made Ranboo make a pop sound back. Tommy jerked his head and made another pop. Quackity made a pop sound, then a meow. Karl meowed back, causing Tubbo to shout, "pussy!"

"Oh god.." Wilbur muttered, suppressing his own tics. 

The call was quickly filled with laughter. 

"Guys, please!" Quackity ticced, causing Karl to repeat it back. 

"Just- just killed a- killed a woman, feelin' good," Tommy sighed afterwards. This was only going to spiral from here and he knew it. 

"What the honk?!" Karl shouted. 

"Muffins!" Quackity let out another laugh. 

"Language!" Wilbur sighed as his suppression stopped working. 

The call was once again filled with laughter, and small popping and squeaking sounds. Tommy let out a shriek, which caused others to repeat it back. 

Tommy's head jerked repeatedly to the side. Wilbur banged his fist against his desk. 

"Woo!" Tommy said in the way that Wilbur did in his songs. 

"Cheese," Tubbo said, in reference to the one meme.

Karl screamed at the top of his lungs.

Tubbo screeched like Toad from Mario. Tommy laughed at him.

"Gimme all your money, bitch," Tommy said. 

"Nah bitch, nahh." Tubbo ticced back.

"Put your uwus in the bag!" Karl said

"UwU!" Ranboo said.

"UwU OwO!" Wilbur shouted. 

"This has just gone down the drain-" Tommy laughed, head jerking a few times as he said it. 

"Come down today and try some corn, or we will sacrifice your newborn-" Ranboo said.

"AHH!" Everyone finished. 

"I'm- Sus!- I'm going to end the recording- Subs! Subscribe! Twitch Prime- I'm ending the recording now." Tommy said. 

"Okay."

"Twitch- Twitch Prime- Prime sub- Woo!- Twitch Pr-Prime!" Ranboo ticced 

"Sub with Prime! Prime- Prime subs!" Tubbo shouted. 

"Home home-" Wilbur said. 

The call was filled with laughter one more time before they all deafened or muted to calm themselves down.
