dream team group chat

Summary:

gasballceo: do u ever think ab doing something really stupid & then think 'no, benjamin would disapprove'

quinnwitted: u did the dumb thing anyway didnt u

gasballceo: oh of course

quinnwitted: nice

benjaquinn18: NOT NICE WE'RE IN THE ER

 

(or, the dream team become accidental twitter celebrities & break the trending page a few times.)

Notes:

me: i don’t really write fic anymore, i’m more focused on my original stuff
me after two months in the discord: what if i dedicated all my time and attention to a chat fic

anYWAY this isn’t an indication of my actual writing, this is purely for memes & jokes and to counteract all the Angst in the server. dedicated to the vibe squad y’all are the coolest <3

also I started this before part 6 so as of now it’s canon compliant & takes place in a vague future after things are resolved but all of that could change after friday who knows!!!

gasballceo: which one of us actually joined a cult 

jasperofficial: do i count as part of the cult 

quinnwitted: ur the reason it exists??? 

benjamin18: ...why is that in present tense 

gasballceo: tbf the others all have their @‘s as jasper related still. ur the outlier benny 

jasperofficial: oh did u guys see the convo on my acc earlier?? 

benjamin18: nah, i only check it when u guys @ me 

quinnwitted: well excuse me mr verified, do u have other friends ?? 

jasperofficial: no i have fans ??? which is even weirder 

gasballceo: we are having a conversation ab the literal cult dedicated to u & the idea of having twitter fans is what’s weird? 



Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 daily reminder that @jamesjapple left me & my mom with no warning & i didn’t even get a jphone out of it 
  | 
  |
  f in the chat / @freddofantastic  
   not related at all but every time i see ur @ i wonder at the implication of UNofficial jaspers 
    | 
    | 
    Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
      @jasperinthehat @hoodiejasper @orangejasperpuffer you guys are all unofficial 
         |
         | 
         f in the chat / @freddofantastic  
          this creates so many new questions 



jasperofficial: i think i accidentally gave them all a boost in followers 

quinnwitted: im sure they appreciate it 

gasballceo: hey why don’t u ever give me a boost in followers 

jasperofficial: youre the head writer of one of the most popular shows ever ??? why do u need my help 

gasballceo: but im not verified :((( 

benjamin18: sometimes i wonder how long it’ll take before we’re all verified by association 



peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
 since there’s so many new people i think i’m gonna do some live tweeting. that seems like a good way to introduce u all to this mess 

 

peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
 ex-cult + oliver game night: a thread 
  |
  | 
  int. cult house. we convinced @hoodiejasper to actually follow a recipe for once so the food is actually looks amazing 
  |
  |
  @jasperofficial & @quinnwitted have arrived. jasper brought cookies we have to stan 
  | 
  |
  @benjamin18 just burst in and said “im so sorry for oliver” what has he done now 
  | 
  |
  @gasballceo has a bucket of apples. quinn is glaring at him. oliver: “let’s play dreamscape roulette” idk what that means but jasper & benjamin  are both shaking their heads 
  |
  | 
  quinn: get out of my house
  william: uh, boss, it’s our house now 
  | 
  |
  okay okay we’re actually gonna play games now!! up first is uno bc we want to start with something simple & fun!! 
  |
  |
  so apparently oliver is colourblind ??? ig uno is out 
  |
  |
  robert: we could play scrabble 
  quinn: isn’t that only for four players? 
  robert: oh well we could play the newlywed game 
  jasper: isn’t that only for couples? 
  robert: i would be gamemaster :)) 
  |
  | 
  i don’t know what robert is implying/planning but i don’t like it 
  |
  |
  oliver: WAIT YALL HAVE A NINTENDO 64 WHY ARE WE PLAYING BOARD GAMES WHEN WE COULD PLAY T H A T 
  | 
  |
  new plan: mario kart tournament. place your bets now, who will win? 
  [quinn] 27% 
  [benjamin] 32% 
  [oliver] 19% 
  [jasper] 22% 
  |
  |
  if ur wondering why me, robert and william aren’t included it’s bc we value our sanity 
  |
  |
  UPDATE: quinn is the first disqualified 
  |
  |
  you all should’ve had more faith in jasper he is killing this 
  |
  |
  oliver is out! benjamin & jasper in the final & it’s sure to be a nail biter 
  |
  | 
  and jasper pulls through as our winner!!! let’s get an f in the chat for benjamin 
  | 
  | 
  robert: great! now let’s play the newlywed game 
  quinn: +biggest sigh ever+ okay fine 
  robert: great! quinn & harold, benjamin & jasper, and oliver & william 
  everyone: ...what?
  robert: what? :) did u already have partners in mind? :) 
  |
  |
  this game night is a mess 
  |
  |
  we have decided that robert was joking & are now playing clue 
  |
  |
  william calls it “cluedo” which makes no sense but is very endearing 
  |
  |
  oliver, playing as mrs white, when it turns out she’s the killer: no,,, she must’ve had her reasons,,,, 
  |
  |
  he just gave the most touching monologue ab her motivations & justifications...twitter cannot do it justice just trust me. quinn is crying. benjamin is pretending he’s not crying. 
  |
  | 
  maybe i actually should watch lumbersweats agdhakxh 
  |
  |
  sorry jasper just found out i haven’t watched lumbersweats and now game night is cancelled for a marathon,, it’s been fun guys 

 

kila / @antiloveparasite  
 am i the only one hoping that @orangejasperpuffer would live tweet lumbersweats too 
  |
  |
  milo / @gasballobsessed  
  i was hoping for elaboration on “ex-cult + oliver”



gasballceo: peterson is using us for clout 

benjamin18: bet you $10 that he ends up verified before us bc of this 

quinnwitted: don’t speak that into existence,,,,

quinnwitted: we have FANS fans

gasballceo: if i tweeted out that quinn was a cult leader with reciepts do u think we could get him cancelled already

quinnwitted: i have already tweeted out that i am a cult leader with reciepts so somehow i doubt it

benjamin18: once again i am asking why that's in present tense

jasperofficial: i don't think that tweeting out a fake resume counts as reciepts

quinnwitted: wdm that's my real resume

benjamin18: i--

quinnwitted: havent had much luck getting jobs tho

gasballceo: gee i wonder why



todaroperson / @gasballceo

    |
    |
    Jasper Prime / @jasperprime

    |
    |
    jasper / @hoodiejasper

     [image: a screenshot of a twitter bio -

(the header is the 'sorry' collage)
(the icon is a pic of jasper beaming at the camera)

Jasper Prime / @jasperprime
just a super chill cult where we worship @jasperofficial . no weird stuff. no dudepants allowed.

/end image]

 

 

jasperofficial: why this

quinnwitted: bc i <3 u

jasperofficial: so ur starting the cult again ???

benjamin18: i am not changing my @ for this...not again

benjamin18: i will change my display tho

gasballceo: can i join the cult this time :O

quinnwitted: yes but u gotta follow the jasper prime twit acc and take the jasperfice

gasballceo: IM ON IT BOSS



jasper / @gasballjasper
 #jaspercult
 [video: the camera is low on the ground and at a slight angle, likely propped up against a rock. oliver's whole body is in frame as he stands at the cliff face, as is a lot of grass. he's slightly out of focus, which spares the viewer from some of his frankly awful dancing, but not from his singing. he's belting africa by toto. make of that what you will]

 

milo / @gasballobsessed
 is @gasballjasper okay?
  |
  |
  kila / @antiloveparasite
   he just be vibing

 

dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 oliver has changed his @ from gasballceo to @gasballjasper & made his display jasper as well. is this related to the earlier jasper-related tweets from @quinnwitted and @jasperprime?



quinnwitted: that was unbelieavbly quick

benjamin18: bold of u to assume that he didnt leave for the cliff immediately after the first tweet

jasperofficial: did he really

gasballjasper: yes

gasballjasper: i've wanted to do the jasperfice since u first told me what it was

gasballjasper: very theraputic, 10/10 would reccommend

jasperofficial: maybe i should do it too

gasballjasper: YES COME JOIN ME ITS GREAT

jasperofficial: im on my way!! @benjamin18 @quinnwitted do u guys wanna come?

quinnwitted: yeah! should i text the cult as well

gasballjasper: yes yes yes jasper ganggg

 

 

jasper / @benjamin18
 #jaspercult
 [video: the camera is pointed at benjamin's smiling face. in the background, william and harold are screaming along to a taylor swift song while robert looks on with pride. benjamin turns slightly to reveal oliver and jasper dancing (mostly bouncing up and down) together. before benjamin can move again, a hand reaches in front of the camera and tugs it away, turning the camera on themself. it's quinn, also grinning. the camera flips to reveal benjamin again as he races over to join oliver and jasper. over the still-singing william and harold, quinn whispers to the camera, "they're all such idiots." someone else comes over to take the camera. "go join them, boss" william says. he turns the camera on harold and robert, who are holding each others hands and spinning around and the back to the dream team, who are screaming celion dion off the edge of the cliff, shoulders knocking together. benjamin turns to look back at the camera, pausing in his singing to call william over. "stop filming, i just wanted some--"]

 

jasper / @jasperwiththehat
 #jaspercult
 [image: robert stands with his arms thrown around william and harold, all of them grinning cheesily at the camera. the sun is setting in the background. harold is holding snacks. william is holding a rock. robert has a drink in both hands.]

 

jasper / @quinnwitted
 #jaspercult
 [a series of three images. in the first, jasper is grinning widely at quinn while oliver all but hangs off of quinn's shoulder. in the second, jasper looks rather alarmed as oliver leaps onto quinn's back. in the third, benjamin stares down at the three others, who are now in a pile on the ground.]

 

jasper / @hoodiejasper
 #jaspercult
 [video: benjamin stands alone on the cliff face. silence. it looks like it's going to be very dramatic. the opening notes to I Need A Hero (specifically the Shrek 2 version) play. benjamin spins around and poses. he is ready for a performance. the video ends before the lyrics start, much to the viewers frustration]

 

jasper / @gasballjasper
 #jaspercult let's do this again sometime
 [image: oliver's face barely fits into the selfie he's taken. everyone is visible as they lay on the grass at the cliff side. robert has his hands in the air and mouth open as he says something to william and harold. quinn and jasper both appear to be asleep. benjamin, beside oliver, has one hand over his eyes and the other raised in a lazy peace-sign]

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 for those confused: # dreamteam is me, quinn, oliver, and benjamin. the # jaspercult is all of us! thanks for liking everything we've shared tonight - i'm so glad i could share it with all of you <3

 

 

jasperofficial: well @quinnwitted u got your wish

gasballceo: no more 'and oliver' nonsense

gasballceo: jasper i will change it back in a heartbeat if u ask me to

 daily reminder number 11 that @jamesjapple has called me once in the past six years & it was so he could use the footage of me saying ‘dad’ in a commercial :) 

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 day 17 reminding you @jamesjapple has more money than a human being can actually spend in a lifetime & i haven’t had an allowance from him since i was four (not saying i should be rich, just pointing out the disparity here) 

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 day 23 - @jamesjapple seems like the sort of person who would break into someones house to whisper in the ear of a sleeping child just to mess with their dreams i said what i said 

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎

jasperofficial: quinn pls hurry up and get here i need to hug you so bad after that 

benjamin18: he is currently hugging oliver but muttering ab he’s a bad substitute for u @quinnwitted this is hilarious but please hurry

gasballceo: see i want to be mad but i think that's the first time you've used 'yartmap' correctly so instead im just very very pleased

benjamin18: u mean to tell me that there's a correct way to use 'yartmap'

benjamin18: ive been using it solely based on the vibes

jasperofficial: i think vibes are the best basis for that expression

gasballceo: im disappointed in all of u

quinnwitted: oh im sorry did u invent the word or something smh

gasballceo: bet

quinnwitted: ...what

benjamin18: sadly can confirm

jasperofficial: most of the time i dont want to be a lucid bc its very confusing and i am very small & have no money but then oliver says something like that and i wish i could make something very stupid a part of reality with minimal effort

benjamin18: no more messing with my dream please

gasballceo: what if it's to get rid of ppl >:(

benjamin18: for the last time we're not kicking quinn out of the dreamscape

gasballceo: im not talking ab quinn this time

quinnwitted: this time????

gasballceo: i just got followed by some unfortunate ppl ://

jasperofficial: who?

gasballceo: ur half brothers? step brothers? idk

jasperofficial: oh u mean the ones who tried to kill quinn?

gasballceo: yep

jasperofficial: hmm. @benjamin18 are u sure we cant kick them out

quinnwitted: why did they follow oliver anyway

benjamin18: probably bc hes the only one of us they dont already know & they hoped he wouldnt notice or care

gasballceo: plot twist: i would d*e for my friends so ofc i noticed !!

jasperofficial: oliver pls do not die for us

gasballceo: bet?

benjamin18: @gasballceo no

gasballceo: :(

quinnwitted: i am very concerned ab that emoji

gasballceo: all jokes here lads we're all good

gasballceo: should i follow them back??

benjamin18: are they private?

gasballceo: nah they're public figures like jasper

gasballceo: they arent verified tho get yartmapped

jasperofficial: oh wow finally something i have over them

quinnwitted: if they arent private then don't follow but do keep an eye on them

quinnwitted: i dont like that they are following u ://

quinnwitted: do u think they have smt planned?

benjamin18: well since their last plan backfired very spectacularly bc of william with a dictionary i will be honest and say that i am not that concerned

Japple / @japple ✔︎
 Watch the highlights from our latest updates in this video: 
 [video: a la steve jobs, james jasperson stands on a near empty stage, providing updates about the company’s products and designs for the upcoming year, including an anticipated announcement for the jPhone VI] 

 

jack / @backtothepast  
 WIRELESS HEADPHONES HELL YEAH 

 

henry / @busybee 
 did some more reading ab @jasperofficial after i saw the trending page today & i gotta say i’m not entirely sure how to feel about @japple @jamesjapple anymore…
  |
  |
  kila / @antiloveparasite  
   it’s especially slimy that @jamesjapple built his persona on the idea of being a family man (the ad with @jasperofficial in it, his marriage & step sons) but then when jasper talks about it it’s SO clear that it’s all fake ://
     |
     |
     jack / @backtothepast  
      or jasper is lying ab it for clout 
       |
       |
       kila / @antiloveparasite
        aaaaand that’s the block button for you mister! 
          |
          |
          henry / @busybee
           ik i’m late to the #dreamteam party but like?? what possible reason would jasper have to lie about it?? he doesn’t even seem to WANT anything from j*mes smh
            |
            |
            kila / @antiloveparasite  
             i love how ur new to it but are already censoring j*mes - welcome to the family henry 



James Jasperson / @jamesjapple  
 Wonderful day yesterday with my two boys, @dudepantsryan and @dudepantsalex! So nice to have my family around me during the important moments of my career 
 [image: James leans back slightly against a heavy wooden desk. Beside him, standing closer to each other than to James, are Ryan and Alex. They are standing much straighter than their step-father.] 




jasperofficial: dont talk to me about the photo 

jasperofficial: im going offline for the day just

jasperofficial: i wish no one had ever found out who i was i wish id never meet ryan and alex i wish i didnt know james is my dad and i wish i wasnt verified so people would just leave me alone 

jasperofficial: sorry i just

jasperofficial: sorry 

jasperofficial is offline. 

gasballceo: is now a bad time to mention that i got dm from alex? 

benjamin18: dont u have to be mutuals to dm 

gasballceo: well yes but i was keeping an eye on them like u guys said & i saw alex @ me asking to message me & i got curious 

quinnwitted: and what did alex want to message you about 

gasballceo: ok so u just typed out the word ‘you’ so ik that youre mad but hear me out please

gasballceo: he says that he feels bad ab how everything went down and that he and ryan dont even really like james - he claims that they thought ‘protecting’ jasper might help their relationship but lately seeing everything ab jasper & james’s relationship theyve realised that they’re all in the same boat really 

gasballceo: and im not saying i believe it at all bc it seems bit sus but alex has asked if he could meet us 

benjamin18: wow ok 

benjamin18: and what did u say? 

gasballceo: nothing yet, i figured since u two actually met them id get ur take on things 

gasballceo: quinn? thoughts? 

quinnwitted: jasper just said that he wishes no one ever found out who he was...idk if im included in that statement but it does make me wary of pushing things :// 

benjamin18: quinn im sure jasper didnt mean u 

quinnwitted: idk 

quinnwitted: on the other hand it might be good to hear them out

quinnwitted: i am curious why james is still here even when he could just go off somewhere else 

benjamin18: i’ll text jasper privately to see what he thinks, i dont think its right to do anything without telling him ab it 

gasballceo: ok, let us know 




Thing 2 / @dudepantsalex  
 starting to think that people cant change but man do i want to 

 

Thing 1 / @dudepantsryan  
 one time i was playing dnd and i got really distracted by this sidequest to the point where i thought it was the main quest and even tho the DM kept trying to steer me away i was certain that this guy was the main villain

  turns out he was just a guy trying to do his best you know? and i worried for ages that i’d ruined the whole game. still worry about it sometimes, but i think the DM is still trying to help me 



benjamin18: jasper says he’s ok with us meeting them 

benjamin18: but he wants to come with us

quinnwitted: oh 

quinnwitted: hes ok?? 

benjamin18: yeah 

benjamin18: he’s staying offline cause of the twitter notifs but he says hes ok otherwise

gasballceo: shall i get alex to meet us? 

quinnwitted: yeah. what about the gasball place by jasper’s house? that way if it goes bad jasper isnt far from home

gasballceo: sounds good 




dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 does anyone have any idea what just happened? because we sure dont!
  |
  |
  milo / @gasballobsessed  
   ok i know my Brand is being eternally confused by the #dreamteam but in this one instance i think i know the answer: the dream team & alex and ryan dudepants (jasper’s step brothers) were all seen going into a gasball currency place together right? 
     |
     |
     and then @lumberstan said they saw them talking but couldnt hear/didnt listen to what they said (in this house we respect ppl and dont eavesdrop just cause theyre public figures) but said it looked intense & then quinn stormed out & the others followed 
     |
     |
     so it seems like they argued right but apparently alex and ryan went with them so idk 
     |
     |
     oh also someone said that the #jaspercult joined them as well? not sure tho 

 

dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 RT @gasballobsessed - a really informative thread, thank you!



Buzzfeed / @buzzfeed ✔︎
 We’re pretty sure that @quinnwitted just punched @jamesjapple - read our live updates here: bitly.ly/djahf883jawe and follow us for more information! 
   |
   |
   JASPER(S) DEFENCE / @quinnwitted
    yeah and i’d do it again what about it 



LNEWS / @localnews ✔︎
 “They came to me because you didn’t care! They came to me, they’re mine!” Quinn Hills, friend of @jasperofficial quoted as saying following assault on @jamesjapple. Read more about it here: lnewslocal.com/article/james-jasperson-ass…. 



Thing 1 / @dudepantsryan  
 honestly that went even better than i expected 
   |
   |
   Thing 2 / @dudepantsalex  
    i expected <nothing so im very pleasantly surprised 



don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
 get absolutely yartmapped
 [image: quinn stands above james jasperson, who’s on the ground cradling his nose. quinn appears to be trying to get closer, but is held back by oliver as well as robert and william. jasper looks on with a startled expression, but he is smiling ever so slightly.] 

 

peterson / @orangejasperpuffer
 just to clear up some questions
 [video: james stands, wiping a bloody hand on his trousers distastefully. he says, “that seems unnecessary.” quinn shakes off oliver, william and robert to step closer to james and speaks: “it’s been a long time coming. you never cared . you never even pretended to care about jasper, you left him and acted like he didn’t matter and that alone made me want to hunt you down and punch you right in your stupid, smug face and the only reason I didn’t was because he asked me not to. but you did the same to them--” quinn points over his shoulder to alex and ryan-- “and because jasper is a good person that was the final straw. you don’t get to treat people like they don’t matter . especially not your kids .” james smirks and says, “why, mister hills--” quinn cuts him off: “they came to me because you didn’t care! they came to me , they’re mine ! i have spent my whole life searching for a family and you don’t get to hurt them anymore .”]

  kila / @antiloveparasite
   peterson thank u so much love u but that leaves so many things unanswered 
    |
    |
    peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
     ok basically quinn has a v complicated relationship w the concept of family & has stated multiple times that the #jaspercult (jasper esp) are his family & alex and ryan were in the cult for a while before things got...messy 
      |
      |
      and now that jasper has forgiven them & they’ve expressed their reasoning quinn has gotten protective. also lets not pretend that j*mes doesnt deserve to be punched 
        |
        |
        jane / @theactualinternet
         i LOVE that u guys censor his name too 




jasperofficial: when benjamin told him to get out or he’d force him out! 

jasperofficial: when oliver had to hold quinn back! 

jasperofficial: sorry i know you all were there im just riding a HIGH wow 

benjamin18: i’m just glad that we’re finally getting rid of him 

gasballceo: oh hard same 

jasperofficial: also thank u guys for not posting any of what i said to him 

quinnwitted: that’s between u two. we wont share anything u dont want us to 

jasperofficial: i really am so glad i met you guys 

jasperofficial: (esp @quinnwitted) 

gasballceo: oh i see how it is, the guy punches your dad one time and suddenly he’s better than us, i get it 

benjamin18: oliver, with all the love in the world, shut up 



Tech Today / @techtoday ✔︎
 BREAKING: just days after the announcement of new products, @jamesjapple announces plans to retire and leave @japple. Quote: “I’m off to chase different, brighter dreams.” He offered no information on his family or the recent fight, for which no charges were pressed 

 

henry / @busybee  
 what a wild week 

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial  
 Thank you all for the support over the past week, it’s really meant a lot to me & the # dreamteam . And, most importantly, it’s meant a lot to my mom! 
 [image: jasper and his mom standing side by side, grinning cheesily at the camera. there’s a sliver of of thumb visible in the top corner, and it’s been labelled with comic sans as ‘quinn’] 

 

JASPER(S) DEFENCE / @quinnwitted
 i should probably update the @jasperprime acc bio huh? since the dudepants are, you know, allowed in again 
  |

Chapter 6: the jaspers arc

Chapter Text

 

 

hoodiejasper: do u ever feel like we’re the side characters in our own lives 

orangejasperpuffer: well, given that all three of us joined a cult that requires changing our names and only conceiving of thoughts that a rather famous man is capable of conceiving, i think im going to have to go with ‘yes’ 

jasperwiththehat: speak for yourself im a main character 

orangejasperpuffer: whatever u say robbie 

jasperwiththehat: shut upppppp

hoodiejasper: oh is it make fun of robert time?? bc the time that oliver called u robbie and u didnt correct him was Very Interesting 

jasperwiththehat: he calls benjamin benny it’s just how he shows friendship what was i supposed to do? reject his friendship?? 

hoodiejasper: methinks he doth protest too much 

orangejasperpuffer: i thought we banned historical speech in the jaspers chat >:( 

jasperwiththehat: maybe that rule gets changed now that were cool with alex and ryan again??? 

orangejasperpuffer: im glad theyre back uwu 

orangejasperpuffer: alex says he wants play for us again btw

orangejasperpuffer: tru 

orangejasperpuffer: plus like,, this chat is for my boys yknow 

jasperwiththehat: the ogs 

hoodiejasper: the actual jaspers (minus jasper) 

jasperwiththehat: doesn’t that imply that we have to add quinn & benjamin tho 

hoodiejasper: i retract my previous statement 

hoodiejasper: this chat is for us three and us three alone 

orangejasperpuffer: i vibe with that 

orangejasperpuffer: so we never make them aware of its existence? 

jasperwiththehat: what happens in the cult-ish chat stays in the cult-ish chat ok

orangejasperpuffer: agreed 

orangejasperpuffer: ...tho i can’t think of a single thing that happens here that other ppl couldn’t know ab

  |
  |
  peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
   why is it asking me for my favourite book and why is one of the options ‘dictionary’
     |
     |
     william / @hoodiejasper  
      that’s probably my fault 
        |
        | 
        peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
         OH YEAH 
           |
           | 
           Thing 1 / @dudepantsryan  
            i still have a lump on my head…
             |
             |
             william / @hoodiejasper  
              that’s what u get for holding a spartan trail 

 

milo / @gasballobsessed  
 following everyone in the #jaspercult was the best and worst decision i ever made 
   |
   |
   kila / @antiloveparasite  
    RIGHT i feel like a scientist studying human behaviour but i have 0 context for any of what they say 

 

peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
 update: finished the quiz & i got benjamin idk how to feel 
  |
  |
  don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18

 rating the #jaspercult: a thread
  |
  |
 first up: our boy benjamin @benjmain18!! we give him 9/10, would be 10/10 but he's keeping secrets rn soooo
  |
  |
@jasperofficial gets a 10/10 bc he's literally jasper??? also just the sweetest guy around, we have to love and appreciate him at all times
  |
  |
 6/10 for @quinnwitted bc he made benjamin cry one time & bullies me in the gc >:( 
  |
  |
 @dudepantsalex & @dudepantsryan both get 5/10 idk them that well yet & i only know them from the spartan trial that benny told me ab & the night j*mes got punched
  |
  |
 @orangejasperpuffer is a solid 8/10 we vibe together & both like scrabble 
  |
  |
 my man @jasperwiththehat gets 9/10 bc we both like pineapple pizza & it’s nice to have a buddy on that front cause everyone else hates it 
  |
  |
 and last but not least @hoodiejasper gets an 8/10, he loses points for tweeting ab me & also tucking his hoodie strings in what is UP with that dude 

 

 

quinnwitted: really? 6/10? 

gasballceo: do u think u deserve higher? 

jasperofficial: ur 10/10 to me quinn 

quinnwitted: thank you jasper im glad someone cares 

benjamin18: i can’t believe i didnt get a perfect score even after u told me im always top of the ranking smh 

gasballceo: tell me ur secret then problem solved 

benjamin18: soon i promise 

gasballceo: how soon is soon 

benjamin18: ...less than a week? i think? 

gasballceo: u think? 

benjamin18: yeah 

benjamin18: no more than a week, promise 

jasperofficial: u don’t have to tell us until ur ready!! 

benjamin18: i know!! i do want to tell u but it’ll be easier in a little bit trust me 

quinnwitted: we do 




dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 oliver @gasballceo recently tweeted a thread where he rated the # jaspercult - he mentioned that @benjamin18 is keeping secrets. Any guesses what it might be? 
  |
  |
  milo misses kila :( / @gasballobsessed  
   it can’t be anything bad or oliver wouldn’t be tweeting ab it im sure 
     |
     |
     jane / @theactualinternet  
      yeah but remember that william & robert weren’t sure if there was something good or bad going on with them
       |
       |
       milo misses kila :( / @gasballobsessed  
         p much immediately after that oliver said that benjamin is always number one jasper to him tho 



henry / @busybee  
 hey @jasperofficial i doubt you’ll see this but im just really curious as to how u met @quinnwitted & the rest?? 
   |
   |
   Jasper / @jasperofficial  
    @quinnwitted started a cult in my name & @benjamin18 joined it. later benjamin showed up at my house with @gasballceo and then we became the dream team 
     |
     |
     henry / @busybee  
      ….huh?
       |
       |
       KILA <3 LUKE&MILO / @antiloveparasite  
        @gasballobsessed someone is taking over ur job of being the Most Confused ab the #dreamteam 




benjamin18: hey do u guys wanna come over for ice cream?? there’s someone that i want u to meet 

quinnwitted: do u have other friends suddenly 

benjamin18: sort of? just come over 

gasballceo: is this secret related? 

benjamin18: ye 

jasperofficial: we’ll be there soon!! 




AH-EE / @gasballceo  
 I NEED TO UPDATE MY JASPERS RATINGS BC !!!!! 
 Ellie is 1000/10, the sweetest little thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, she can’t say ‘L’ yet but she tries so hard ahhhhhhhhhh
   |
   |
   don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18  
    my daughter is not in the cult oliver 
      |
      |
      AH-EE / @gasballceo  
       not with that attitude she isn’t 



don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
 since @gasballceo already spilled (couldn’t even give me 5mins to tweet smh he’s lucky he’s my best friend): yes i do have a daughter, no i will not be sharing pictures, yes she is absolutely wonderful and adorable and sweet and i love her more than anything 
   |
   |
   Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
    i think we all already love her more than anything !!! 



UNCLE QUINN / @quinnwitted
 bc i know you’re all dying for more info: oliver has declared Ellie his best friend and Benjamin is pretending to be offended but can’t stop smiling. we are all eating ice cream sandwiches (even tho ice pops are clearly superior) and idk if Oliver or Ellie is messier 
  |
  |
  Jasper / @jasperofficial  
   don’t forget Oliver introducing himself as Ollie so that they’d “match” and then melting when she pronounced it as “ah-ee” 
     |
     |
     luke misses kila :( / @badtimelongtime  
      well that explains his display at least 



william / @hoodiejasper  
 hey @benjamin18 when do we get to meet this mysterious ellie 
   |
   |
   don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
    don’t u think quinn oliver and jasper are overwhelming enough for one day 
      |
      |
       william / @hoodiejasper
        understandable have a nice day 




jasperofficial: you know what I still don’t understand? 

jasperofficial: why didn’t u tell us u were meeting with ellie & isabelle?? 

benjamin18: i didn’t know how it would go 

benjamin18: and it went surprisingly well the first time so i didn’t want to jinx it 

benjamin18: and then when it started to get even better and we talked ab me getting to see ellie on her own i thought it would be fun to surprise u 

gasballceo: well colour me surprised 

gasballceo: but of all the secrets u could’ve been keeping she is def the best one 

quinnwitted: agreed 

benjamin18: yeah but secrets are even better when they’re shared so 

benjamin18: im glad u guys got to meet her <3 

 

 

Chapter 8: the confusion arc

Chapter Text

 

 

henry / @busybees
 my experience with the #dreamteam fans so far:
 [image: the 'Is this a pidgeon?' meme, but it's been poorly edited so that the man is labelled 'dream team official fan group chat', the butterfly is labelled 'seven contradictory theories at once', and the caption reads 'is this a good explanation?']
   |
   |
   kila / @antiloveparasite
    we are telling u exactly what the dream team has told us! what more do you want from us!! 

 

eat the rich / @japplehater
 top moments in the #dreamteam fandom so far:
 - jane asking why benjamin joined quinn's cult and being told 'we dont talk ab that'
 - the way it took us three months to realise that kila and luke know each other irl
 - the week that destiel went canon & sweat 5000 held hands & we couldnt decide what was more dramatic
   |
   |
   luke / @badtimelongtime
    - Milo Is Confused
    - Milo Is Confused 2: Electric Boogaloo
    - Confused 3: This Time It's @busybees
     |
     |
     henry / @busybees
      this is the most confusing fandom i've ever been in @gasballobsessed back me up here
       |
       |
       milo / @gasballobsessed
        it is very confusing. u have to learn to roll with it
         |
         |
         henry / @busybees
          JASPER TOLD ME THEY MET IN A CULT AND NONE OF U COULD EXPLAIN
           |
           |
           eat the rich / @japplehater
            more top moments:
            - the time henry asked for an explanation from jasper, was told the exact thing that we'd been saying, and then blames us somehow??

 

 

busybees: bernie u dont have to roast me publically :((

japplehater: yh i do its how u know ur one of us

theactualinternet: tbf, they also roasted milo

busybees: nah it was luke who roasted milo

badtimelongtime: if u cant roast ur long distance partner are they even ur long distance partner??

antiloveparasite: u say that as if u dont roast me everyday and u live up the road from me

badtimelongtime: shut up kila

antiloveparasite: dont tell me to shut up im ur best friend

gasballobsessed: wait i though i was ur best friend :((

antiloveparasite: ur both my best friends <3

busybees: ok ok ok can we get back to u explaining the dream team to me??? cause i'm still confused

japplehater: we said u just have to roll with it

busybees: ok this time i will 'roll with it'

busybees: just start from the beginning

theactualinternet: i think @lumberstan has been here the longest? mal u around?

lumberstan: i have been Summoned

lumberstan: also yh sorry i havent been active much

lumberstan: finals, u know

theactualinternet: oh! we dont mean to interupt ur studying

lumberstan: nah i should take a break anyway. what's up??

japplehater: we have a new member @busybees who would like an explanation/rundown of everything we know about the dream team

lumberstan: oooo hold on i was actually gonna make a thread of stuff anyway 

 

oh gorgoblox... / @lumberstan
 by request of @gasballobsessed like two months ago and also @busybees like twelve minutes ago, may i present - everything we know about the #dreamteam so far: a thread
   |
   |
 so first of all, rundown of who the dream team are: 
 @jasperofficial - jasper jasperson, son of j*mes j*sperson, the subject of the cult 
 @quinnwitted - quinn hills, leader of the cult, very mysterious 
 @gasballceo - oliver todaro, head writer of lumbersweats, newest cult member
 @benjamin18 - benjamin lewis, part of the og cult & oliver’s best friend 
   | 
   |
 also tbh we don’t really know much ab the cult? whenever anyone asks one of them they just talk ab it so matter of fact - apparently quinn started a cult in jasper’s name?? and that’s where The Jaspers come in 
   |
   |
 so The Jaspers are: 
 @hoodiejasper - william, we think he was the first other than quinn 
 @orangepuffeejasper - peterson, he’s the mvp imo bc he does a lot of the live tweeting & filming 
 @jasperwiththehat - robert, seems like such a dudebro but we know he loves romance movies & taylor swift so make of that what u will 
   |
   |
 also @dudepantsryan & @dudepantsalex were in the cult but we dont really know for how long/how involved they were??? 
   |
   |
 also also no, we don’t know how legit the cult was?? @theactualinternet once found an old craigslist that looked like it might be the origin, I think she tweeted it once 
   |
   |
 okay so quinn, benjamin, The Jaspers, alex, and ryan are are in the cult. jasper meets them all at a cult meeting?? for some reason he is Chill with this 
   |
   |
 there’s something in here about a spartan trial? that comes up a lot but never with any context attached??? 
   |
   |
 peterson said that things got “messy” between The Jaspers & alex & ryan and alex & ryan left the cult - unclear what happened but oliver said once that he knew about alex & ryan bc of the spartan trial so we assume it’s related 
   |
   |
 according to jasper “later” benjamin showed up at his house with oliver and they “became the dream team” 
   |
   |
 why dream team??? we simply do not know
   |
   |
 sometimes quinn & oliver say “this is ur dream, [we] just live here” to benjamin? and jasper says “dreams are real” a lot? idk what kind of inside joke they’ve got going on but dreams are clearly important to them all which is very cute ♥︎
   |
   |
 anyway that’s really all the context that we have for any of their nonsense!! so the rest of this thread will just be fun things!! & i will add to it if anything new happens 



busybees: @lumberstan thank u that was so unhelpful 

lumberstan: @busybees ur welcome they are very unclear 

busybees: like?? was there actually a cult???? 

theactualinternet: ooooo mal u missed the part ab how jasper was a baby on pampers packaging my screenshot won’t make any sense w/o that context 

lumberstan: aw damn i knew i was missing something 

busybees: ?????????

gasballobsessed: henry mate i told u to roll with it 

theactualinternet : found this a few months back when looking at funny ads 
[image: a slightly grainy screenshot of quinn’s original ad for joining the cult]

theactualinternet: it got passed around on reddit & tumblr a bit as just a funny meme so when i saw it after the jasper cult stuff i did some digging and it looks legit 

lumberstan: AH I ALSO FORGOT AB THE JASPERPRIME ACC 

lumberstan: ok thread cancelled i’ll do another one when my brain isn’t scrambled from finals 

busybees: so there actually was a cult 

busybees: huh 




kila / @antiloveparasite  
 would you befriend the leader of a cult that worshipped you??? /gen 
   |
   |
   Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
    yeah & i only regret it sometimes 
     |
     |
     milo / @gasballobsessed  
      KILA 



antiloveparasite: GUYS I DIDNT EVEN @ HIM HOW DID JASPER SEE THAT 

badtimelongtime: KILA

lumberstan: KILA RIGHTSSSS

freddofantastic: jasper is stalking us confirmed /j 

lumberstan: oh hey fred!! :0 

theactualinternet: fred!! it’s been a while!! 

lumberstan: oof and hes gone again 

busybees: who was that?? 

lumberstan: fred! hes one of the ogs but he’s not active much anymore lol 

antiloveparasite: JASPER IS STALKING ME??? 

antiloveparasite: he doesn’t follow me so idk how he saw that ahhhhhhhhh 

gasballobsessed: mayb he just searches ‘cult’ sometimes to see what else is out there 

lumberstan: maybe hes looking for other people who have had cults made ab them 

theactualinternet: actually that’s an interesting point - how many cults are formed to worship not the leader but just...a Guy? 

theactualinternet: remember no one knew jasper was j*mes’s son until after some of the cult stuff - it doesn’t sound like even The Jaspers did 

antiloveparasite: hey yeah! 

antiloveparasite: they just joined a cult for a random baby on some pampers packaging ahzhaixi 

gasballobsessed: me, looking at The Jaspers: i would like to study them 





peterson / @orangejasperpuffer  
 serious question: what would fans of the #jaspercult do if me william and robert changed our @

gasballobsessed: that seems like a lot of effort 

antiloveparasite: the dream team does it all the time milo dont be lame 

gasballobsessed: im just saying!!! 

theactualinternet: i actually agree with milo! 

theactualinternet: HOWEVER 

theactualinternet: the mishapocalypse 2: this time it’s jasper??? yes or yes??

antiloveparasite: omg luke

antiloveparasite: don’t mine him he was one +whispers+ bandom tumblr 

theactualinternet: OOOOOOH 

badtimelongtime: wow call me out smh 

lumberstan: @badtimelongtime to answer ur question it was basically a day that everyone on the hellsite changed their icons to this one actor and spammed gifs with his face edited into it and generally just ran chaotically through the dashboard 

lumberstan: i doubt even we could match the chaos of that day 

lumberstan: but that doesnt mean we shouldnt TRY 

several people are typing...

Chapter Text

 

 

benjamin lewis my beloved ❤︎ / @gasballceo  
 benny’s asleep, post his autopilot 
 [video: benjamin sits on the sofa, looking at his hands. he is, of course, holding an apple. from offscreen, oliver asks, “hey benji, do you know you’re dreaming?” without looking up, benjamin replies, “maybe if you had a f**king business that you were passionate about then you would know what it takes to run a f**king business but you don’t—”] 
   |
   |
   oh gorgoblox… / @lumberstan
    does...does benjamin quote the kardashians in his sleep?? 
      |
      |
      sweat 5000 rights / @quinnwitted
       sometimes he sings schoolhouse rock, it’s great 

 

oliver todaro my beloathed ☹︎ / @benjamin18 
 oliver’s awake post his fails
 [video: quinn and oliver are a few metres away from the camera, almost silhouetted against a sunset. quinn is riding a longboard in smooth circles around oliver while the latter struggles to get his balance. as quinn comes to an easy stop, oliver slips and crashes to the ground. benjamin, from behind the camera, calls, “ollie you weren’t even on the board yet!” this is followed by laughter from all of them, including soft giggles from jasper, also behind the camera] 
   |
   |
   jane / @theactualinternet 
    are we going to talk about the matching displays or…? 
     |
     |
     Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
      honestly i can never tell what is and isn’t a bit with them. I swear they have their language, it’s like they share a brain sometimes. 




gasballceo: “it’s like they share a brain” go on and expose us then 

jasperofficial: literally no one is going to think i mean that literally 

quinnwitted: also i love how that’s what u decided to comment on and not benjamin exposing your complete inability to longboard 

gasballceo: oh no i exposed his autopilot i was honestly expecting something much worse 

benjamin18: oh so jasper can’t say “share a brain” but u can say “post his autopilot” and that’s fine??? 

gasballceo: no one knows what autopilot means 

benjamin18: no one outside of this chat knows we share a brain???? 

jasperofficial: also im still very confused by that 

benjamin18: retweet 

gasballceo: retweet 

quinnwitted: and somehow you two are the beginning of everything smh 

gasballceo: i may be an idiot 

benjamin18: but? 

gasballceo: no that’s it 

benjamin18: smh u really make us look good huh 

gasballceo: benny ur the brains of the operation 

quinnwitted : the man who’s autopilot is keeping up with the kardashians is the brains of the operation??? 

jasperofficial: i wonder what mine is :thinking: 

quinnwitted: we could find out :eyes: 



william / @hoodiejasper  
 my ‘quinn is about to do something stupid’ senses are tingling 
   |
   |
   milo / @gasballobsessed
    are you gonna try to stop him?
      |
      |
      william / @hoodiejasper  
       no 

 

peterson / @orangepufferjasper  
 the dream team just RAN out of the house im scared

         |
         |
         luke / @badtimelongtime  
          why is it literally impossible to get a straight answer from any of you smh 



gasballceo: quinn? do u read me quinn? 

benjamin18: i still think it’s impossible for our phones to work between dreamscapes 

gasballceo: U NEVER KNOW 

benjamin18: i half created everything in existence i feel like I know 

gasballceo: i created the other half and i know for a fact that neither of us have any idea how this works 

benjamin18: ...okay point 

benjamin18: also why are we texting when we’re right next to each other 

gasballceo: in case quinn can see these messages 

gasballceo: and also so we don’t wake jasper 

benjamin18: the whole POINT is to wake jasper so that quinn can see his autopilot ????? 



quinnwitted: wait did you guys seriously try to text me while i was in jasper’s dream??? 

gasballceo: i thought it was worth testing!! you brought your phone with you!! 

quinnwitted: WHY would phones work between dreamscapes??? 

benjamin18: why wouldn’t they ig 

gasballceo: also, japple? 

quinnwitted: why would u think i would own japple products ew 

benjamin18: oliver 

benjamin18: do u have a japple phone? 

gasballceo: ….

gasballceo: it’s my WORK PHONE OKAY 

jasperofficial: switch to pinephone rn :knife: 

gasballceo: DID JASPER JUST KNIFE EMOJI ME WHAT SHDJAIXIA 



milo / @gasballobsessed  
 okay @benjamin18 @gasballceo it’s time to explain ur display names what’s going on 
   |
   |
   kila / @antiloveparasite  
    I don’t know why you bother trying to get a straight answer out of them 
      |
      |
      benjamin lewis my beloved ❤︎ / @gasballceo

   |
   |
   benjamin lewis my beloved ❤︎ / @gasballceo  
    no lol 



dream team updates / @dtupdates
 ...I don’t know why I expected any differently 




jasperofficial: the dream team fans must hate u 

gasballceo: look how ab u explain that the names came from the fact that we played pretend in second grade but also second grade was like two days ago and in our game i wanted to get married and benjamin decided to be a twist villain instead and stabbed me >:(( 

benjamin18: we were seven years old get over it 

gasballceo: IT WAS TWO DAYS AGO 

quinnwitted: how old even ARE you two 

benjamin18: that’s a very sensitive question 

gasballceo: BENNY IS SEVEN IN HIS REALITY 

benjamin18: u act like ur seven in yours 

gasballceo: :( 

benjamin18: <3 

jasperofficial: i mean do any of us really know how old we are if all of our memories are dreams and we’re dreams and benjamin and oliver started the universe after the beginning of those memories and we’re all just branching off from that point 

quinnwitted: uh 

quinnwitted: jasper are u ok 

jasperofficial: :thumbs_up: 

gasballceo: jasper sometimes u say stuff like that and i feel very bad for telling u everything 

jasperofficial: u would feel worse if u kept a secret from me :(( and that’s a p big secret :(( 

gasballceo: jasper i could never keep a secret from u!!!!! i love ya too much 

jasperofficial: good 

jasperofficial: ahdjxjaks love ya too 

jasperofficial: anyway my point is that u could tell them something !!! u don’t have to say it was two days ago I could say that u found stuff from when u were in second grade & it reminded u smh 

gasballceo: but it’s more fun to be chaotic on main and not explain anything 

benjamin18: retweet 

quinnwitted: smh benjamin i thought you were the sensible one 

benjamin18: i joined ur cult i think by definition that makes me not sensible 

quinnwitted: fair

gasballceo: i feel like we haven’t talked enough ab jasper’s autopilot being the digits of pi song 

gasballceo: like ik it was also the entire plot of lumbersweats which is very ☺︎︎♥︎☺︎︎ but the digits of pi song?? how far did he get??? 

quinnwitted: it went on for a long time 

jasperofficial: i know the whole song lol 

jasperofficial: i mean i didn’t realise that i knew it enough for it to be my autopilot but i memorised it in the seventh grade 

jasperofficial: also the periodic table one, and the countries of the world song 

gasballceo: :0 

gasballceo: how have we never heard these,,, through all of our karaoke nights,,,,  

benjamin18: jasper doesn’t want us to have video evidence of that lol he knows we’d expose him  

quinnwitted: and he’d probably end up trending again 

jasperofficial: trending w education stuff might not be terrible 

jasperofficial: next jasper cult hang out i will sing for u

gasballceo: GET HYPE




benjamin lewis my beloved ❤︎ / @gasballceo
 @jasperofficial just told us what he's singing at friday karaoke and it's gonna be SO good

      "And now, Yakko Warner presents..." 

 

oh lumbersweats... / @lumberstan
 JASPER IS AN ANIMANIACS FAN WHY DOES THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE
  |
  |
   dudepants / @gorgoblox5001
   wakko warner and gorgoblox have the same energy prove me wrong
    |
    |
     oh lumbersweats... / @lumerstan
     the unexplained accent, the hat, the chilled yet chaotic vibe... you might be onto something here 

 

peterson / @orangejasperpuffer
 you all have been asking for it so here it is: the #jaspercult friday night karaoke live tweet
  |
  |
 so @hoodiejasper and i are up first, we're duetting love is an open door from frozen, you don't get a video of this one bc it is Very Dumb
  |
  |
 @quinnwitted's go-to karaoke song is firework by katy perry - if any of u are surprised by this even AFTER seeing the posterboard collection then that's a personal problem
  |
  |
 @benjamin18 is boring and doesnt sing :((
  |
  |
 INSTEAD HE RAPS ARE U READY FOR THIS
 [video: benjamin shakes out his shoulders as the intro to eminem's rap god plays. 'six--six minutes slim shady you're on--' off camera, william says, "there's no way he can actually do this, is there?" oliver shushes him. the first verses starts and benjamin absolutely nails it.]
  |
  |
 twitter won't let me upload the whole vid :( but know that benjamin did in fact perform that without missing a BEAT and we were all very impressed
  |
  |
 @hoodiejasper & @jasperwiththehat are now going to absolutely body everywhere I go (not putting a vid of this one bc ik i have young followers, if u know u know & i cannot recommend it if u don’t know it)
  |
  |
 now our newest edition, @gasballceo, has come in strong with my heart will go on. i have muted the video to spare you all 
 [video: oliver, signing aggressively, drops to his knees and, with his hands curled into aggressive fists, sings towards the ceiling.] 
  |
  |
 alright, finally, we are at the moment you have all been waiting for: @jasperofficial is UP and he’s got a three-song performance planned for us… 
 [video: jasper stands with his hands in his jacket pockets, rocking back and forth on his feet. the music starts, jasper smiles and glances towards quinn, who’s just slightly visible in the video. he begins to sing the periodic table of the elements song] 
  |
  |
 and the second song 
 [video: jasper looks a little more relaxed now, dancing a little with his shoulders as he sings one hundred digits of pi, smiling at oliver and benjamin, who laugh and cheer him on.] 
  |
  |
 and the grand finale:
 [video: jasper bops along to the music, bouncing from his knees like the animaniacs characters do—and then he nails the countries of the world song completely. quinn whistles and claps, beaming.] 
  |
  |
 @ everyone in my mentions talking ab how much they love jasper: do u understand why we have a cult dedicated to him??? look at him! he’s the best!!

benjamin18: ariana_grande_what_about_it.gif 

gasballceo: he’s still right tho 

gasballceo: u must dream at least sometimes

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 serious question why do all of my friends cope by running away when i have abandonment issues 
  |
  |
   Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
   wait this was meant for my private 
   it’s too late to delete it now tho huh 



eat the rich / @japplehater
 i know he retired or whatever and no one has heard from him for like a month but seriously FRICK j*mes j*sperson >:((( 



kila / @antiloveparasite  
 but what who’s running away 




quinnwitted: jasper :((( 

quinnwitted: im sorry i promise im not running away 

jasperofficial: then what are u doing 

quinnwitted: i am coming to ur house 

jasperofficial: oh!

benjamin18: can we come or is this a quinn&jasper thing ?? 

quinnwitted: a quinn&jasper thing. for now.

gasballceo: okay! let us know how it goes :)) 

jasperofficial: next time tell me that ur coming tho 

jasperofficial: i was worried

quinnwitted: sorry sorry sorry <3 

quinnwitted: im ten minutes away 



Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
 false alarm guys we’re all ok 
 [image: a selfie that cuts off both people’s heads. quinn and jasper are distinguishable because of their jackets, and quinn is curled slightly towards jasper, whose arm is outstretched slightly to take the picture.]



jane / @theactualinternet  
 that was the wildest forty minutes of my life 




quinnwitted: hey guys

quinnwitted: im gonna type for a while ok 

gasballceo: okay! 

quinnwitted: okay so i do have a dreamscape obviously u guys were right but it’s not really...it’s not really like yours?? it’s just...im a memory and so my dreams tend to be...memories. and until pretty recently i didn’t have a lot of good memories. so my dreams tend to be not very nice and i try very hard not to dream very much at all bc Yikes 

quinnwitted: and yknow lucid abilities, i don’t have to dream if i don’t want to so i just try not to !! and idk maybe now that i have more good memories with like the cult and u guys it would be ok but im lowkey (highkey) scared to go back 

quinnwitted: bc im so happy here, now, and i don’t want to...idk. 

gasballceo: can i say smt? 

quinnwitted: go for it 

gasballceo: while i was waiting to catch up to u guys, my therapist talked to me about bad memories a lot & how hiding from them was doing me more harm than good - he was right yknow. i was trying to forget the past completely and ignore the bad times but i couldn’t do that forever. i think u have to take the bad memories - without them u wouldn’t have ended up here, being so happy 

gasballceo: and he also said that memories aren’t as...unchanging as we think. the more we try to recall them, the more details can get smudged, for better or worse. you can’t ignore them obv but you can just...take them as they are. the past for what it is and the future for what it can be. 

gasballceo: idk it really helped me while i was waiting for my brother & ik it’s not the same at all but whatever u decide to do we are all here with u 

benjamin18: ...what he said 

quinnwitted: BENJAMIN AHDJDKS

quinnwitted: is that all u ever add to oliver’s speeches??? 

benjamin18: i mean pretty much yeah 

benjamin18: also i really wanna know what ur autopilot is 

quinnwitted: oliver im sorry u had to wait so long for us 

gasballceo: it’s ok!! 

quinnwitted: and ig if u guys wanna come find out what my autopilot is…...that would be ok 

jasperofficial: i have a guess what it is but i don’t wanna say in case im wrong :0 

gasballceo: u sure quinn?

quinnwitted: yeah

quinnwitted: i don’t have to do it alone, right? 

quinnwitted: it’s like i said before yknow...you just hold out your hand, and let go

quinnwitted: probably ab time i take my own advice 

gasballceo: in that case i will be over IMMEDIATELY

quinnwitted: two, yeah we know we already saw ur tweet 

jasperofficial: i like his handle! 

gasballceo: u would 

benjamin18: did u make it to ur appointment 

gasballceo: yeah and he didn’t have anyone after me so i still had my full hour ://

benjamin18: why is that a bad thing 

gasballceo: idk 

gasballceo: it’s not i guess 

gasballceo: ive just been struggling with it lately, it comes in waves 

quinnwitted: if u don’t mind me asking why did u start therapy 

gasballceo: oh! uh after my brother went into his coma my parents thought it would be a good idea. i didn’t like it at first but...idk, after everything that Went Down and the fact that timeline wise I was ages behind u all I figured I could give it another shot yknow. obviously couldn’t tell him everything but it was still nice to talk through stuff. just never stopped 

jasperofficial: i think it’s really cool that ur so open ab it! fans of lumbersweats & of us ig can see that & i think that’s a positive thing :)) 

gasballceo: thanks jasper :)) 

gasballceo: dr theroux doesnt seem to agree >:( 

benjamin18: i think he was only mad bc u were tweeting instead of being at ur app 

quinnwitted: ^^^

gasballceo: oh quiet u 

gasballceo: anyway im just reeling from being vibe checked by my therapist on TWITTER ??? 

gasballceo: he follows me,,, 

benjamin18: wait what is his acc like 

quinnwitted: im looking now and it’s very professional except for like. every third tweet being ab gasball currency 

gasballceo: nice 




BACK ONLINE / @smelliot69
 accidentally took a two year nap & forgot all my passwords but ayyyy ya boy is back 



dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 @gasballceo just followed @smelliot69! the latter account doesn’t have much information and their first tweet is a joke about a ‘two year nap’. 
   |
   |
   luke / @badtimelongtime  
    im pretty sure that’s called a coma 




quinnwitted: therapy question for @gasballceo: did u tell ur therapist ab the dream stuff? 

gasballceo: no??? 

gasballceo: i see no reason to make him think im delusional as well as depressed 

benjamin18: u could’ve given him some apple slices 

jasperofficial: yeah just invite urself to his house and then try to feed him apple slices for dessert :)) 

benjamin18: shut uppppp i was trying my best 

jasperofficial: and u failed 

jasperofficial: but its ok i still like u!! 

benjamin18: thanks, jasper

quinnwitted: jasper please never change ily 

jasperofficial: ill do my best! 

gasballceo: anyway quinn why do u ask 

quinnwitted: idk i was just thinking ab it cause the dream team fans keep meme-ing him calling u out 

quinnwitted: also ur old tweet ab “living the dream” 

gasballceo: oh lmao that is actually something i have said to him & he was very concerned ab how hard it made me laugh 

benjamin18: im concerned ab how hard it made u laugh that’s really not that funny 

gasballceo: ive said it before ill say it again: tell that to my 734 retweets

benjamin18: did u just go look at the exact number of retweets 

gasballceo: yeah and?

jasperofficial: i mean yes of course but 

quinnwitted: why now? 

gasballceo: well okay so 

gasballceo: he only woke up like...five? months before i caught up with u guys and he’s been in recovery ever since but now it’s been nearly a year since he woke up and he’s doing really really well :)) 

gasballceo: he’s back in school and getting set up online again and he keeps asking to meet u guys cause he’s been reading up on all of the twitter stuff 

gasballceo: at this point i think either u have to meet him or he’ll end up bffs with the fans which would be kinda weird cause like, that’s my brother 

quinnwitted: that’s fair actually 

jasperofficial: ofc we’ll meet him :)) 

benjamin18: just tell us when it’d be cool to see him again!

quinnwitted: oh yeah i forgot u wouldve met him before 

benjamin18: only very briefly tbf he’s younger enough that it’s not like we hung around him when we were in high school 

gasballceo: just come now!!

jasperofficial: the vibe is ur therapist calling u out in twitter 

gasballceo: yeah :)) 

gasballceo: ANYWAY im glad u all liked elliot i think he thinks u guys are super cool 

gasballceo: and it’s...idk. it’s good to see him doing stuff like that. and to have him meet u guys bc u guys are a big part of why im so happy & dr theroux pointed out that maybe by keeping u guys separate from him I was still letting myself think of him as something sad??? idk but i don’t want him to be something sad & seeing u all together made me really happy & ik that didn’t make sense but rn i am so HAPPY and have nowhere to put that happy ahhhhhhh 

benjamin18: i get the feeling that i should’ve stayed at ur house bc i think u might be vibrating and need a hug

Chapter 11: the origin arc

it has come to my attention that the timeline of this au might be a lil confusing
SO let's go back to the beginning

gasballceo: ...right, sorry

gasballceo: it's been a really weird week

killianjjones: it's okay. just...what's going on?

gasballceo: i...went on a bit of a creative spiral?

killianjjones: so the next season of lumbersweats is going to be AMAZING is what i'm hearing

gasballceo: haha, i hope so! but the spiral wasn't really about that. anyway, it's over now. i think it'd be good to uh. come back to work. re-introduce myself to everyone

killianjjones: you're a star, todaro

killianjjones: we'll see you monday for a writers meeting?

gasballceo: ofc!!

 

 

Oliver Todaro / @gasballceo
 this day has been one existential crisis after another lol

 

gasballceo: hey benny crazy story - remember when jasper yelled at me about lumbersweats?? pretty sure that my subconcious turned that into reality and now i'm actually the head writer of a netflix show i have no memory of writing lol gotta love that for me right

ERROR : @benjamin18 doesn't follow you! you cannot send messages to this account.

gasballceo: ...huh

ERROR : @benjamin18 doesn't follow you! you cannot send messages to this account.

Oliver Todaro / @gasballceo

       thank u william

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎ 
 just realised that i followed @gasballceo YEARS ago and didnt even realise who he was when i met him that's really embarrassing
  |
  |
  Oliver Todaro / @gasballceo
   to be fair to u, i think the change was very confusing from a timeline perspective - like, memories were altered but also weren't? because of when i showed up?
     |
     |
     Benjamin / @benjamin18 
      oliver have u considered just messaging jasper about this instead of confusing ur twitter followers
       |
       |
       Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
        ooo better idea! we have a group chat? :)
        @quinnwitted @gasballceo what do u say?

          sounds good to me!

 

 

jasperofficial created the conversation

jasperofficial added quinnwitted , gasballceo , and benjamin18

jasperofficial: hey guys!

benjamin18: hello :)

gasballceo: heyy!!

quinnwitted: hi!

jasperofficial: this is my first ever gc idk how it goes from here

quinnwitted: well i, for one, would like oliver to elaborate on the timelines thing

gasballceo: right well

gasballceo: right

gasballceo: huh

benjamin18: where do we even begin

gasballceo: i guess with the fact that me and benjamin dreamt the whole universe

quinnwitted: HUH?

jasperofficial: i still barely understand lucids stuff can we start with something simpler

 

___

  

quinnwitted: so let me get this straight

quinnwitted: you two dreamt the entire universe

quinnwitted: were given the option to change anything you wanted

quinnwitted: and all you did was make oliver the head writer of lumbersweats?????

gasballceo: no im pretty sure that happened before

gasballceo: cause mrs hills said if we went back to our lives we probably wouldnt be able to change anything anymore

benjamin18: mrs hills said that we probably wouldn't be able to change things any--yeah that

jasperofficial: and you two share a brain??

benjamin18: apparently?

jasperofficial: i guess i can kinda see it

jasperofficial: but how does this fit into what oliver was saying about timelines?

benjamin18: yeah i'm kinda confused by that too

gasballceo: WELL

gasballceo: i think

gasballceo: when benny and i went back to our realities we went back to the 'beginning' -- or, well. idk. the last moments we remember from our respective realities, anyway. so for me, i went back to when i woke him up in whole foods

quinnwitted: why whole foods

gasballceo: BUT whole foods in terms of like, benny’s dreams happened like...nearly two years before any of the cult stuff 

jasperofficial: wait so 

jasperofficial: wait so you’ve lived two years where we didn’t remember you?? 

gasballceo: uh i mean. yeah? 

gasballceo: ANYWAY the point is that the timeline gets a bit funky when u think about it too hard 

jasperofficial: no no don’t just brush past that — two years and we didn’t know you? so you were alone? 

gasballceo: well gee jasper nice to see you think i don’t have any other friends 

jasperofficial: oh im sorry that’s not what i meant 

gasballceo: ahdhdhhfksa no it’s ok tbf i don’t really esp since like. how was i supposed to explain literally anything. anyway i had benjamin in second grade & my WRITING TEAM bc apparently that’s my job now 

gasballceo: but bc that didn’t change until after we’d met & we hadn’t met yet & whatever time travel/dreamscape things — you wouldn’t have even known to recognise me when we met 

gasballceo: i guess it’s lucky i called myself robin that probably helps make those memories make more sense hmmmm 

jasperofficial: also cause im like...half a lucid? right? cause i jumped between a few things?? 

jasperofficial: gosh i don’t want to be a lucid it sounds so complicated 

quinnwitted: u don’t have to be 

jasperofficial: ok good :)) 

benjamin18: im sorry u had to wait for us oliver 

gasballceo: it’s ok!!! im just glad ur here NOW and we now have this killer gc 

gasballceo: we’re gonna break the Internet 

benjamin18: how do you figure? 

gasballceo: well jasper is verified and we’re all very chaotic people so it’s only a matter of time

 @gasballceo & @benjamin18 are both commenting on how ‘suspiciously quiet’ the dream team group chat is today. Any ideas what @quinnwitted & @jasperofficial might be up to? 
  |
  |
  milo / @gasballobsessed 
   i refuse to believe that jasper is up to anything sus. he’s probably just taking a well deserved break tbh 
     |
     |
     kent!! / @lsatsmc5000

        |
        |
        wayne :) / @astronauticalstan

           big words coming from the man who still wears jasper’s shirt 
              |
              |
              quinfiltration / @quinnwitted
               he also wears mine so screw u 

 

lumberstan: wake UP new quisper lore just dropped 

lsatsmc5000: quisper?? 

antiloveparasite: it’s what u get when u mash their names together 

astronauticalstan: like a ship name?? 

antiloveparasite: no no we don’t do rpf here 

badtimelongtime: it’s just how we refer to the Dynamic yknow 

japplehater: we call benjamin & oliver ‘beliver’ and quinn & benjamin ‘benjaquinn’ like benjamin’s @ that one time 

japplehater: jasper & oliver is still tbd 

lumberstan: ANYWAY new quisper lore 

lumberstan: have y’all see the tweets??? 

antiloveparasite: YES YES YES 

antiloveparasite: they share clothes :pleading_face: need me a freak like that 

badtimelongtime: kila u are literally wearing my hoodie rn 

gasballobsessed: oh so kila gets to wear ur hoodie but ur own boyfriend doesn’t get one….smh…..

badtimelongtime: move closer & u can have all the hoodies u want 

japplehater: thinking ab what events couldve possibly lead to them switching shirts & then also wondering why they haven’t switched back ever….

busybees: many thoughts head full 

lsatsmc5000: ,,,what if it had to do with the cult stuff 

astronauticalstan: :eyes:

lumberstan: what like quinn was trying to replace jasper or smt 

lumberstan: lmaoooo can u imagine??? 

antiloveparasite : ahdjfjaicka i mean the cult stuff is already wild but can u imagine it would literally be like 
quinn - i am going to replace u
jasper - okay but hear me out, what if we become best friends instead?? 

astronauticalstan: haha yeah imagine if he did that 

astronauticalstan: that would be crazy 

badtimelongtime: i mean there’s confirmed 1028 facts ab jasper that were compiled BEFORE they met apparently so honestly,,,it wouldn’t surprise me 

lumberstan: it might explain why alex & ryan dudepants got involved too….

japplehater: honestly a very solid theory, well done wayne and kent :clap:

 

 

jasperofficial: ...oops? 

quinnwitted: that hit,,a little close to home

jasperofficial: at least we didn’t accidentally reveal dreamscapes? 

jasperofficial: and, for the record, im glad that we’re best friends idc how we got here 

quinnwitted: <3 

 

 

kent!! / @lsatsmc5000
 just read an old interview that says @gasballceo wrote jar jar binks fanfiction before he got the job for lumbersweats………… 
   |
   |
   oh gorgoblox… / @lumberstan  
    WHAT kent. kent please…...tell me this is a joke. tell me this isn’t true 
      |
      |
      kent!! / @lsatsmc5000  
       [image: a screenshot from a popular interview website that did, in fact, interview oliver a few years ago. the screen shot reads: “INT: What were some of your inspirations for the story of Lumbersweats? OT: It’s kind of embarrassing, but before this job I wrote a lot of fanfiction. Especially Star Wars fanfiction—I liked to reimagine Jar Jar Binks and see what makes him tick. Those stories definitely influenced my creative process for Lumbersweats.”] 
         |
         |
         eat the rich / @japplehater  
          JANE @theactualinternet GET OVER HERE IS THIS REAL???? 
            |
            |
            jane / @theactualinternet  
             it….it looks like it is?? the interview was posted three years ago but i don’t remember reading this part of it before? @antiloveparasite uve been a lumbersweats fan longest do u remember??
                |
                |
                kila / @antiloveparasite  
                 i...i don’t remember but Oliver HAS tweeted about jar jar before?? usually about hating him but the interview says ‘reimagining’ so maybe he was trying to make him a better character through fic??? 

 

 

jasperofficial: is this mean? it feels like it might be a little mean 

quinnwitted: no it’s genius 

jasperofficial: but it’s an interview that oliver doesn’t even remember giving bc it was before the lucids stuff and for all he knows he mightve actually done that 

quinnwitted: we’ll tell him the truth, dw 

jasperofficial: also when did u learn how to hack?? i thought u just edited a screenshot but the website really does say that 

quinnwitted: well i had to make it convincing 

 

 

[Twitter Moment: Oliver Todaro (show writer, Lumbersweats and the Sweet Meat Chronicles) may have written Jar Jar Binks fanfiction. Fans debate the truth.] 

 

dream team updates / @dtupdates  
 screenshots from an old @gasballceo interview have resurfaced, sending dream team fans reeling from the revelation that oliver todaro used to write jar jar binks fanfiction 

 

milo / @gasballobsessed
 i want this to be true SO BAD but it seems weird that no one has ever brought it up before 
   |
   |
   luke / @badtimelongtime  
    if it’s true i think i may Actually Die 

 

dudepants / @gorgoblox5001
 if oliver todaro has secretly been a jar jar binks fan this whole time i stg…

 

🫒r / @gasballceo  
 wait what did i say that??? that doesn’t sound like something i would say but it happened before,,, so maybe??? but why — @benjamin18 did u do something 
   |
   |
   don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18  
    no??? we can’t anymore remember 
      |
      |
      🫒r / @gasballceo  
        then,,,, 

 

dream team updates / @dtupdate
 okay so @gasballceo seems to be confused too so WHAT IS THE TRUTH 

 

 

quinnwitted: ok maybe it’s a *little* mean 

jasperofficial: it is pretty funny tho 

 

 

lumberstan: @lsatsmc5000 thank u for ur service 

astronauticalstan: isn’t he great :’) 

lsatsmc5000: aw shucks 

japplehater: i want to read this fanfic now 

japplehater: i want to know how it could POSSIBLY link up to the plot of lumbersweats 

astronauticalstan: i mean the interview says that it influenced his creative process so maybe it’s not super direct 

theactualinternet: yeah and tbf if it *was* super direct he’s probably deleted it all 

lumberstan: but he’s confused too!! it might still be Out There

japplehater: or it’s a hoax 

lsatsmc5000: i will be devastated if it comes out that this is a hoax 

gasballobsessed: retweet 

badtimelongtime: retweet 

antiloveparasite: retweet 

 

quinnwitted: has this satisfied ur need for chaos? 

quinnwitted: bc the dream team fans are actually so nice & i don’t want to mess with them anymore 

jasperofficial: me either :( 

jasperofficial: it was fun to peak behind the curtain & see how cool they are but i don’t wanna tease them or anything 

jasperofficial: messing with oliver was fun tho :’) 

quinnwitted: ahdjfkakkcjaj yeah 

quinnwitted: we will have to tell him soon 

jasperofficial: yes but for now i think it’s time for wayne & kent to log out 

quinnwitted: ...but we should keep the accounts active, right, just in case :eyes:

jasperofficial: oh yes yeah absolutely 

 

astronauticalstan is now offline. 

lsatsmc5000 is now offline. 

 

 

Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎

jasperofficial: what did we miss :) 

gasballceo: oh well i finally trended on twitter!! 

gasballceo: BC APPARENTLY I SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT I WROTE JAR JAR BINKS FANFICTION 

gasballceo: i *hate* jar jar why on Earth 

gasballceo: but the interview happened before whole foods in the timeline so it might be something that changed when it changed that i got the job!!! 

quinnwitted: lol 

quinnwitted: at least u trended? 

benjamin18: that’s what i said but then he said “but i still didn’t get verified :((“ 

gasballceo: i am going through this STRESS and i don’t even get a check mark out of it 

jasperofficial: im sure it will all blow over 

jasperofficial: like im 100% certain it’s a hoax 

gasballceo: how can u be so sure IM not even sure 

jasperofficial: :) 

quinnwitted: :) 

gasballceo: no….say it isn’t true……… 

gasballceo: my own friends turning against me like this……………. 

benjamin18: you guys did this??? 

quinnwitted: mayhaps 

jasperofficial: we went undercover w the dream team fans 

jasperofficial: a very fun day 

gasballceo: you went undercover and didn’t invite me :( 

benjamin18: oliver there’s no way u could successfully go undercover 

gasballceo: ok true 

 

 

🫒r / @gasballceo
 i just would like to clarify that i did not and will not write jar jar binks fanfic. i hate that guy
  |
  |
 also @twitter if you’re going to put me through the stress of trending over this u could at least verify me smh 

 

 

quinfiltration / @quinnwitted  
 sometimes it’s very fun to cause chaos off-main instead of on it :)) 
   |
   |
   don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18  
    wait ur display… hmm… dream team fans i would pay attention to that js 

 

 

lumberstan: benjamin’s tweet can’t mean what i think it means, right? 

japplehater: i mean…

gasballobsessed: we DID get two new members today 

antiloveparasite: and kent & wayne went offline right before… 

lumberstan: @lsatsmc5000 & @astronauticalstan u guys aren’t...there’s no way?? 

japplehater: there’s no way 

freddofantastic: ive said it before & ill say it again: jasper is stalking us confirmed 

antiloveparasite: no no that’s too wild to even think ab. there’s no way. 

antiloveparasite: ...right?

 

 

Chapter 13: the sleepy arc

Chapter Text

 

 

gasballceo: u know i don’t feel like we do enough with the fact that we’re lucids 

gasballceo: like ik we can’t change anything in *our* realities/dream anymore but does that mean we can’t change anyone elses??

gasballceo: or maybe it does mean that if they’re all extensions of us…

gasballceo: but then again they are still their own *people* like quinn and jasper and everyone are people right 

gasballceo: its just weird to think that we technically created them. like we created our friends?? but they’re also just. their real people 

benjamin18: oliver. go to sleep 

gasballceo: oh! i honestly didn’t expect u to be sleeping rn u should be awake?? why are u Here

   sleepy oliver / @gasballceo

benjamin18: don’t apologise ollie 

benjamin18: but fr are u doing okay? 

gasballceo: mostly? 

gasballceo: idk i thought things were getting better and for the most part they are but...it just catches up with me every now again 

benjamin18: what does? 

gasballceo: everything? 

gasballceo: like the existential crisis, obv, but also just. i have a job that i did *nothing* to get and im worried ab my writing and i need to start writing soon or killian will be ON me but every time i try it just. i just freeze up 

gasballceo: and like we can’t have nightmares and *yet* for some reason every time i do go to sleep i still end up feeling Wrong 

benjamin18: u seem it 

benjamin18: i mean

gasballceo: right now i should at least try to fix my sleep schedule 

benjamin18: for what it’s worth, i really liked the storylines u were telling me ab. and i think ur really creative and maybe u got the job bc of dreamscape nonsense but u did still come up with the story & everything uve written since we came back has been amazing - you’re selling yourself short

    |
    how quinteresting… / @ quinnwitted
     it makes u nervous when i hold a rag
      |
      |
      Jasper / @ jasperofficial ✔︎
       Justifiably!

 

robert / @ jasperwiththehat
 are we are the point where we can joke about that??? is that allowed???
  |
  |
  william / @ hoodiejasper
   i think the rules are probably different for quinn
    |

    robert / @ jasperwiththehat
     lame



gasballceo : @quinnwitted why are you being cryptic in public

benjamin18 : yeah, you're only allowed to be cryptic privately smh

gasballceo : dont make fun of me >:0

benjamin18 : i'm not i'm not

gasballceo : suuuure

quinnwitted : (@jasperofficial do u think if i let this carry on they'll keep bickering and forget that they asked me something)

jasperofficial : (@quinnwitted probably would've had a better chance if you hadn't messaged this in the group chat)

jasperofficial : also im curious too

gasballceo : well, quinn, it looks like it's time to share with the class

quinnwitted : no

gasballceo : :O

gasballceo >:O

quinnwitted : i am allowed to have secrets! u let benjamin get away with a secret for like two months!!

gasballceo : yes but three things:

gasballceo : one, benjamin is my best friend and you are not

gasballceo : two, benjamin didn't tease his secret on twitter

gasballceo : and three, his secret turned out to be ellie - are u implying that you *also* have a secret child

benjamin18 : in my defence, she wasn't really secret...you all knew i *had* a daughter

gasballceo : true! which means if quinn has a secret child that would be an even bigger secret :0

jasperofficial : :O!

quinnwitted : i don't have a secret child???? how did u jump straight to secret child????

gasballceo : u brought up benjamins secret!!

benjamin18 : honestly if quinn had a secret child i'd have so so many follow up questions...like, timeline wise, how would that work?

quinnwitted : it wouldn't

jasperofficial : unless there were other previous members of the cult who could have children...and then they couldve left the cult when they found out they were pregnant...and quinn wouldve been heartbroken :'(

gasballceo : :O!!

quinnwitted : i--what?

quinnwitted : as far as i know, no cult members are able to have children or want to have them??

quinnwitted : also Big Yikes and abuse of my power if i did have a child with a cult member

benjamin18 : it would be one hell of a secret

gasballceo : the drama, the intrigue,

quinnwitted : once again, i do not have a secret child

jasperofficial : but you do have a secret :eyes:

quinnwitted : yeah and i'm not telling :P

jasperofficial : not even me?

quinnwitted : not this time

jasperofficial : currently taking applications for a new best friend

gasballceo : i would like to apply!!!

benjamin18: wooooooooow

kila / @antiloveparasite

  |
  |
  peterson / @orangejasperpuffer

    |
    |
    henry / @busybees
     PLEASE elaborate



gasballceo : ...

quinnwitted : yes, oliver?

gasballceo : ...

quinnwitted : do you have something you'd like to say to me?

gasballceo : ...

quinnwitted : ???

benjamin18 : he's giving you the silent treatment

benjamin18 : but he wants to make sure you know

quinnwitted : what is he, seven???

benjamin18 : i mean...sometimes, yes

quinnwitted : u can't play that card all the time

benjamin18 : and yet we do

benjamin18 : and it works every time

quinnwitted: >:(



how quinteresting... / @ quinnwitted ✔︎
 ik that the only benefit to being verified is getting the check mark but also,,, i feel powerful >:)
  |
  |
  oh lumbersweats... / @ lumberstan
   on a scale of 1 to 10, how angry is @gasballceo that you were verified before him??
    |
    |
    how quinteresting... / @ quinnwitted ✔︎

           |
           |

            kick you out?? do u live together
             |
             |

 [Quinn Hills] 33%
 [Jasper Jasperson] 35%
 [Oliver Todaro] 32%
  |
  |
  kila / @ antiloveparasite
   serious question is your group chat ever peaceful
    |
    |
    don't call me b*nny / @ benjamin18

 - honestly that's all i've got
  |
  |
  don't call me b*nny / @ benjamin18
   well you arent wrong,

 

 

robert / @ jasperwiththehat
 everyone's asking me, 'robert, who do you think is the most famous dream team member?' to which i respond, 'who cares, none of them are as cool as me'
  |
  |
  william / @ hoodiejasper
   literally no one has asked u that

 

 

benjamin18 : you're all famous can we drop it now

gasballceo : if i'm famous why am i not verified

benjamin18 : literally who cares you still have more followers than all of us

gasballceo : all the more reason i should be verified

jasperofficial : youre verified in my eyes, oliver

gasballceo : excellent does this mean my best friend application will be accepted??

quinnwitted : i feel like it should be rejected on the basis of how quickly ur willing to drop ur current best friend for it

benjamin18 : yeah!!

jasperofficial : sadly the position for best friend has already been filled

gasballceo : smh quinn always beating me to stuff

jasperofficial : sorry :shrug:

gasballceo : no ur not

gasballceo : i will accept the Jasper Verification tho, that's way better than a twitter verification anyway

jasperofficial : <3!

gasballceo : <3!

quinnwitted : ugh that's why u two cant be best friends, think of the fluff

benjamin18 : sickening

gasballceo: ur just jealous

 

 

jane / @ theactualinternet

gasballceo : >:O

jasperofficial : no lumbersweats slander in the dream team group chat its literally our one rule

benjamin18 : is it really a complex if its kind of true

jasperofficial : boys boys ur both pretty

benjamin18 : thanks jasper

gasballceo : ty jasper ur pretty too

quinnwitted : and once again jasper proves himself the best of us

quinnwitted : who else could diffuse an argument between the creators of the multiverse with such ease? truly an icon of our age

quinnwitted : ur gonna be verified in like three days dw ab it

gasballceo : yeah :))

benjamin18 : do u ever think that we take the bit too far

jasperofficial : no, i think we always take it to the natural extreme and no farther

benjamin18 : ...we’re all in a cult

quinnwitted : a HARMLESS cult

quinnwitted : we havent sacrificed anything in like eight months!

benjamin18 : oh wow is that a new record?

quinnwitted : yeah! we finally got william to stop frying bananas for no reason too, we’re making good progress

jasperofficial : did u guys know that frying bananas helps with the allergies? like i an eat fried bananas without any problem :))

benjamin18 : ………….

quinnwitted : is *that* why william was frying them????

benjamin18: maybe??? 

 

quinnsignifcant / @ quinnwitted ✔︎
 thats a hell of mystery no one thought was a mystery and didnt even really need solving
 but damn if it didnt just get solved so nice work
  |
  |
  william / @ hoodiejasper
   uh boss? do u realise that ur display makes it seem like ur calling yourself insignificant?? 
    |
    |
    peterson / @ orangepufferjasper
     also did u just quote homestuck???
      |
      |
      quinnsignificant / @ quinnwitted ✔︎
       no to both of those things
        |
        |
        robert / @ jasperwiththehat
         but that literally is a homestuck quote tho??
          |
          |
          quinnsignificant / @ quinnwitted ✔︎
           yeah well u recognised it, so……. :eyes: 

 

gasballceo : so uh

gasballceo : little update

gasballceo : they said they’ll only verify me if i change my @

jasperofficial : what why

gasballceo : apparently itll just create more confusion ab whos the real ceo of gasball currency and having the disclaimer in my bio wont cut it

quinnwitted : so what are u gonna change it to??

gasballceo : idk?? i dont really want to change it

benjamin18 : i guess it comes down to what’s more important to u: terrorising gasball currency to the point where they continuously offer u money in exchange for ur @ or having a little blue check mark

jasperofficial : its gonna be the first one right?? oliver loves taunting them

quinnwitted : but *twitter verification*

quinnwitted : the *blue check mark*

gasballceo : this is literally the biggest decision ive ever had to make and i once literally held the fate of the multiverse in the palm of my hand

benjamin18 : youre always so dramatic and for what

gasballceo : fun

benjamin18 : ah, right. carry on then

gasballceo : gasball currency might not know it, but they literally are *my brand*

gasballceo : and i’ve had this @ for years and years, so its my personal brand too

gasballceo : can i give that up? for a blue check mark? for the verification i’ve craved for so long?

quinnwitted : u realise this is real life and not dialogue for ur show right??

gasballceo : what *is* real life, quinn? were all just figments of each others imagination, living in worlds we’ve dreamt up, making choices that are, somehow, someway, already made…

quinnwitted : @benjamin18 ok hes passed dramatic and gone into existential

quinnwitted : sort him out

benjamin18 : oliver

benjamin18 : if i tell u that my verification request was rejected would that help u decide

gasballceo : wait what why??? how are they gonna say no to my best friend like that????

benjamin18 : idk i guess they don’t think im as much of a public figure as u guys

gasballceo : well i can’t leave u as the only non-verified one

gasballceo : gasballceo lives to see another day

jasperofficial: yay!!!



ceo of dreams / @gasballceo

Chapter 16: the bets arc

Chapter Text

oxen free / @gasballceo
 about to make a terrible decision, no one stop us
  |
  |
  don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18 
   i know you all think that im oliver’s impulse control and usually that’s true
   however this time i am involved in the terrible decision rip 

 

jane / @theactualinternet
 is this a benjamin & oliver terrible decision, or a dream team terrible decision: place your bets!
  |
  |
  Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎  
   placing bets is what started this whole situation >.> 
    |
    |
    kila / @antiloveparasite
     okay 1) very intrigued and 2) jasper using that kind of emoticon is incedible & iconic 

 

dream team updates / @dtupdates
 at least two members of the dream team, @gasballceo & @benjamin18, are planning to make, in their words, ‘a terrible decision’. @jasperofficial says that betting is involved. any ideas? 
  |
  |
  milo / @gasballobsessed
   something something poker night, ten-to-one that @orangerjasperpuffer live-tweets it
    |
    |
    peterson :) / @orangejasperpuffer
     idk if i can this time, but trust me - the temptation is real
      |
      |
      robert! / @jasperwiththehat
       i think u can as long as u dont reveal...yknow
        |
        |
        william / @hoodiejasper
         check in the jasper cult gc!!
          |
          |
          peterson :) / @orangejasperpuffer
           oop i kinda forgot we had that gc ok ok i will 

 

orangejasperpuffer: yo

gasballceo: oh dip i forgot we had this chat

jasperwiththehat: well ig that’s what happens when u impulsively make a gc and then message in it exactly one time

jasperwiththehat: @hoodiejasper they always forget about us :’(

hoodiejasper: dont be so dramatic

quinnwitted: why are we using this chat suddenly ://

hoodiejasper: @jasperwiththehat our parents dont love us :(((

jasperofficial: i think ur first mistake was deciding that we’re ur parents

hoodiejasper: :O

hoodiejasper: is that any way to talk to ur children

quinnwitted: trust me this is exactly how i talk to the children in my life

benjamin18: can confirm

orangejasperpuffer: what?

orangejasperpuffer: oh, ellie

benjamin18: ...

benjamin18: i was going to make a joke and then remembered i cant make that joke in this chat

gasballceo: YO SAME

gasballceo: same brain

benjamin18: same brain!!

quinnwitted: ...this is why we don’t use this chat

jasperwiththehat: dream team inside jokes :eyes:

jasperofficial: hey wait, why can’t robert be included?

gasballceo: bc he deserves a peaceful life

jasperwiththehat: my chances at a peaceful life disappeared when i joined a cult for a baby on some pampers packaging, c’mon man

gasballceo: robbie i like you too much to let you in on the context for our jokes. trust me on this

jasperwiththehat: hmmmmmmmmm

quinnwitted: ok but fr what prompted using this chat again???

jasperofficial: yeah we literally havent used it since the night we got #jaspercult trending

jasperofficial: during the trending topics arc

gasballceo: what?

jasperofficial: what? 

orangejasperpuffer: RIGHT so the dream team updates account was trying to figure out what terrible decision benjamin & oliver were going to make & someone replied saying it was probably a poker night & said that i would probably live tweet it & i wasn’t sure if i could given the context of it all

orangejasperpuffer: but then robert said maybe i could if i just avoided yknow and then wills said i should ask here

quinnwitted: hmm

gasballceo: hmmmm

benjamin18: is it more fun if they have no idea what we’re doing or is it more fun if they have very cryptic hints about what we’re doing

jasperofficial: hmmmmmm

jasperwiththehat: cryptic hints! cryptic hints! cryptic hints!

hoodiejasper: cryptic hints! cryptic hints! cryptic hints!

orangejasperpuffer: ...they are taking forever to respond do u think they are conferring in their group chat

quinnwitted: no wtf

quinnwitted: ...we’re in a call rn

jasperwiththehat: smh wow

jasperwiththehat: ur tearing this family apart

quinnwitted: i brought this family into existence, i can change that whenever i want >:(

jasperofficial: quinn

quinnwitted: i mean hi children what would u like for breakfast

orangejasperpuffer: can i have a big bowl of “can i live tweet yes or no” please

benjamin18: cryptic hints! cryptic hints!

gasballceo: cryptic hints!!!

hoodiejasper: is it just me or are benjamin and oliver acting more childish than usual?? 



 

don’t call me b*nny / @ benjamin18
 sometimes you’ve just got to commit to a bit, even if it’s only funny to you
  |
  |
  oxen free / @gasballceo
   tbf, i am finding it hilarious
    |  
    |
    don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18 
     same brain!

         omg can u guys just. stop. for two seconds
          |
          |
          don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
            no 

 

jane / @theactualinternet
i don’t like what i’m about to tweet anymore than you do but i read quinn’s display name as ‘quincest’ and thought i’d entered a dark timeline with dream team shipping a la ‘oncecest’
  |
  |
  luke / @badtimelongtime
    jane wtf is ‘oncecest’
     |
     |
     jane / @theactualinternet
      if you dont know, promise me you wont google it 



jasperwiththehat: hey hey hey where are u guys @gasballceo @jasperofficial

gasballceo: we’re just pulling up now but why did u only @ us two

jasperwiththehat: eh i figured if i tagged one half of each pair i’d get a response

jasperofficial: ???

jasperofficial: are we really that predictable 

 

 

peterson :) / @orangerjasperpuffer
 for the record, we are not playing poker #jaspercult #jaspercultlivetweet
  |
  |
 we don’t bet on such silly things as cards
  |
  |
 we also don’t bet with foolish things like money. the stakes are HIGH. let the games begin…….
  |
  |
 quinn: are you sure you want to bet that? 
 oliver: scared, hills?
 benjamin: dont. dont quote harry potter right now, man 
  |
  |
 william: if i lose, i will let peterson eat all of my peanut butter
 me: all...all of it??
 william: yup
 guys this might just be the best day of my life
  |
  |
 for those asking why i don’t just buy my own peanut butter: it tastes better when it’s stolen and/or won, leave me be
  |
  |
 robert: if i lose, which i won’t, then i will let each of you 1) wear my hat and 2) take a selfie in it
 oliver: you’ll let us keep PHYSICAL EVIDENCE???
 robert: IF i lose. which i WONT
  |
  |
 okay all bets are placed. some of them i am not allowed to tell you, including mine lol
  |
  |
 also to clarify: it doesnt matter who WINS it only matters who DOESNT LOSE
 everyone’s ‘bets’ will be followed through on, except for the winner
  |
  |
 so if william loses, it doesnt matter if i also lose, i will still get to eat his peanut butter
  |
  |
 for everyone asking: yes this makes sense. obviously. it’s the #jaspercult did you expect anything less than a game of CHAOS 



eat the rich / @japplehater
 why am i not surprised that this is how the #jaspercult gambles with each other
  |
  |
  oh gorgoblox… / @lumberstan
   its the most on brand thing

    Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎

   that’s for us to know, and you to find out… 

 

 

gasballceo: we didnt set a deadline on when the bets needed to be fulfilled, did we??

quinnwitted: no, why?

gasballceo: i just think...we can drag this out for a while. continue to cause chaso

hoodiejasper: evil. i love it

orangejasperpuffer: i mean i already got my peanut butter so idc really

orangejasperpuffer: and if i get to choose when i randomly do mine, that’s very fun for me

jasperwiththehat: plus u all get to get the fans on their toes

gasballceo: exactly!!!

jasperofficial: idk isn’t that a little mean??

benjamin18: nah, have u seen our ‘fans’?

benjamin18: they love a bit of chaos

quinnwitted: i’m on board if jasper’s on board

jasperofficial: hmm

gasballceo: cause! chaos! cause! chaos!

jasperofficial: oh, alright

jasperofficial: but i’m never playing with you guys again >.>

quinnwitted: the fans were right it is very iconic of u to use that style of emoticon

jasperofficial: why thank you uwu 

 

don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
 bets will be fulfilled as and when we see fit…
 maybe you’ll be able to catch them all ;) 

 

 

Chapter 17: the birthday(s) arc

Notes:

some points:
- this chapter takes place over the course of a year, i'm not implying that all their birthdays happen right at the same time as each other
- i think there have been confirmed birthdays at one point or another but i do not remember and could not find them so i left the dates very vague
- i only did the dream team's birthdays but rest assured that the cult also get rager birthday parties & ridiculous twitter interactions

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

 [image: Benjamin sits curled up on a sofa with a warm blanket covering his legs. the cake is balanced on his knees and he’s holding a fork in one hand. he’s glaring up at where Quinn is taking the picture, but the effect is somewhat lost by the way he’s clearly biting his lip in an attempt to keep from smiling.]

 [image: a handmade cake decorated with grey and black icing. the bulk of the cake is grey with silhouettes of two characters carefully drawn in black. the characters are, of course, Lumbersweats and Gorgoblox 5000. the line-work is far from professional, but it’s clearly been made with love. in blue icing above the characters, Jasper’s mom has written Happy Birthday! in a cheerful, swooping script.]

quinntessential quinformation / @quinnwitted

    |
    |
    quinntessential quinformation / @quinnwitted

  birthday quinnvitation / @quinnwitted
   thanks mom 



Jasper / @ jasperofficial ✔︎
 he didn’t want us to make a big fuss on the day, but here’s some pictures from quinn’s birthday a few days ago!!
 [a series of three images. in the first, Quinn sits at a table decorated in confetti. there’s a small cake decorated in purple sitting in front of him, and he’s wearing a bashful smile. in the second, Oliver and Benjamin sit on either side of him and there’s some presents added to the table. all three of them are smiling, but only Benjamin is actually looking at the camera. in the third, Quinn and Jasper are chatting, paying no attention to the camera, as Quinn picks at some wrapping paper. Quinn is now wearing a paper birthdya hat, although there is no explanation of where said hat came from.]

 [two images. in the first, Quinn has his head turned towards William and Robert, are caught mid-movement and seem to be jumping in the air while doing some sort of dance. Quinn is laughing. the whole photo has a sort of motion-blur to it. in the second, Quinn, William, Robert, and Peterson are all squished onto a couch. Quinn has a silver wrapping bow stuck to his forehead and Robert is sticking another one onto his chest. they’re all laughing.]



jane / @ theactualinternet

Broliver / @smelliot69
 happy birthday bro
 [two images. the first: a picture of Oliver, his face smushed into a pillow as he lays on his side under a navy blue quilt. he’s got his phone in one hand and it’s illuminating his face and his messy, slept-in hair. he’s smiling. the second: Oliver in the same position, his eyes barely lifted from his phone screen, but his other hand is lifted out of the quilt to flip off Elliot’s camera.]

Broliver / @ smelliot69
 they’re so dorky omg
 [video: Oliver and Benjamin walk a few steps ahead of where Elliot is filming from. they’re shoving each other playfully and pointing at interesting trees. Oliver says “Are we at a point where we can joke about that...forest?” they walk a couple more steps and then Benjamin nudges Oliver and points to a particularly scraggly tree with vines growing up the side. he says, “Ah, a tree!” Oliver bursts into laughter and shoves Benjamin to the side. Elliot, behind the camera, whispers, “It wasn’t even funny…?”] 
   |
   |

               |
               |
               don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18
                ah, i see we’re back to normal

benjamin18 : now who’s being sappy

jasperofficial : love you too!!!

benjamin18 : <3

quinnwitted: i’m glad i met u all 

 

 

Notes:

happy one year anniversary to the dream team group chat!!!
as always, this is a love letter to the lucids server & all of our little inside jokes & bits & excitement over our favourite show. i can't believe we're so quickly approaching one year since the finale — so i thought i would write about these guys experiencing a finale of their own, complete with a silly bit, people being sappy on main, and reaction threads that are excessively long.
i think quinn said it best: i'm glad i met u all <3

milo / @gasballobsessed

  |
  |
  luke / @badtimelongtime
   “super giant stock exchange” is just capitalism, babe
    |
    |
    milo / @gasballobsessed

      kila / @antiloveparasite
       Sun Cash, Luminary Funds, Spherical Coins

          |
          |
          kila / @antiloveparasite
           they’re already circular, that’s not the same thing
            |
            |
            milo / @gasballobsessed

  |
  |
  jane / @theactualinternet

    |
    |
    henry / @busybees
     they do call their friend group a cult
      |
      |
      milo / @gasballobsessed
       yeah, the *jasper* cult - surely if it was about benjamin they’d call it that
        |
        |
        luke / @badtimelongtime
         besides im more concerned about their reaction to the kidnapping stuff?? 

 

william / @hoodiejasper

quinnwitted: we all know that i love committing to a bit
benjamin18: yes 
gasballceo: no, really?! 😲
quinnwitted: BUT
jasperofficial: there’s a but?? 
quinnwitted: i need to delete twitter i think 
benjamin18: you know that oliver already banished leon from the dreamscape right
jasperofficial: i thought you couldn’t alter the dreamscapes anymore??? 
gasballceo: bestie i was determined 
jasperofficial: you’ve got to elaborate on that 
gasballceo: benny is exaggerating 
gasballceo: we didn’t banish him we just…
benjamin18: gave him access to the multiverse and sent him off to the same dreamscape that james is currently living in 
jasperoffical: oh my dad is going to destroy him 
gasballceo: that’s the plan!! 
quinnwitted: you taught leon tusk how to be a lucid???? 
benjamin18: taught to be a lucid, force fed apples until he ended up somewhere else, who’s to say 
quinnwitted: i demand details someday but also that’s not why i need to delete twitter 
jasperofficial: oh?? 
quinnwitted: i am trying to be conscious of my digital footprint 
gasballceo: says the guy with the active cult leader account 
benjamin18: can you actually call that active he doesn’t post there anymore 
jasperofficial: once a month he makes a circle post just to make sure that it doesn’t deactivate 
gasballceo: that’s iconic 
gasballceo: why am i not in the circles 
jasperofficial: honestly i think i am the only one who is 
quinnwitted: i should probably delete that account too 
jasperofficial: ???????? 
benjamin18: quinn are you feeling okay??? jasper take his temperature 
jasperofficial: he’s not home 
gasballceo: quinn turn on your notification 
gasballceo: if you’re crying in a mcdonalds play area again i swear i will figure out how to alter dreamscapes again just to destroy mcdonalds 
quinnwitted: that seems like a disproportionate reaction but i support it fully 
quinnwitted: deserved tho since they didn’t give me a job 



Keep Your Quinn Up | @ quinnwitted
me when @gasballceo threatens to obliterate mcdonalds bc i had a breakdown there one (1) time 
     |
     |
      Oliver Queen 🏹 | @ gasballceo
     technically i only threatened to do that if you had a breakdown again
     also answer the gc tf??
       |
       |
        Keep Your Quinn Up | @ quinnwitted 
       no 



jane | @ theactualinternet
get you a friend who threatens to destroy a multibillion dollar company for you 
     |
     |
      oh gorgoblox… | @ lumberstan
     i said i would physical fight mr colonel sanders himself for u that time you got food poisoning
       |
       |
        jane | @ theactualinternet
       and it’s not that i don’t appreciate that mal but i got food poisoning from carl’s jr 

 

 

gasballceo: ?????????????????????????????????????
quinnwitted: damn can’t a guy try to get a job around here
benjamin18: to clarify you did take “cult leader” off of your resume before you started applying correct 
quinnwitted: yes
benjamin18: okay just checking 
jasperofficial: i didn’t know you were applying for jobs? 
quinnwitted: i kinda need one
jasperofficial: you do? 
quinnwitted: i mean like. yeah?? you’ve all got jobs
quinnwitted: you make like a million deliveries a day, oliver is constantly working on writing, benjamin 
benjamin18: do you know what i do 
quinnwitted: yes
benjamin18: go on 
quinnwitted: science 
benjamin18: what kind
quinnwitted: the cool kind 
benjamin18: i’ll allow it 

 

Oliver Queen 🏹 | @ gasballceo
if you ever want @benjamin18 to get off your back, just tell him that he does “the cool kind” of science
     |
     |
      don’t call me b*nny | @ benjamin18
     physics IS cool!! 
       |
       |
        Oliver Queen 🏹 | @ gasballceo
       it’s math playing dress up 
         |
         |
          don’t call me b*nny | @ benjamin18
         you write a science fiction show. that’s just physics playing dress up 



quinnwitted: you’re a physicist 
gasballceo: omg when he has twitter notifs on for you 
benjamin18: okok back to the job thing 
quinnwitted: you all have jobs 
quinnwitted: i feel like i don’t contribute 
gasballceo: you are our personality hire 
jasperofficial: you contribute so much 
quinnwitted: if not for my lucid abilities robert peterson and william would not have a house
jasperofficial: yeah why did you let them keep the house 
quinnwitted: i was their cult leader and i kinda just abandoned them 
quinnwitted: it was that or koolaid 
benjamin18: dark 
quinnwitted: sorry 
gasballceo: imagine if the jasper cult was a death cult that would be crazy
benjamin18: by definition, yes 
jasperofficial: what kind of job do you want @quinnwitted
quinnwitted: something that will pay me 
jasperofficial: mood 
jasperofficial: i think one of our delivery girls is leaving for college soon, i could ask my boss if he’d hire you!! 
quinnwitted: idk jasp i feel like this is smt i need to do on my own 
jasperofficial: why? 
quinnwitted: …because i rely on you guys all too much and i want to be able to help myself and help you sometimes
benjamin18: buddy 
gasballceo: oh that’s his Ellie Voice
quinnwitted: how can you possibly know that when he’s typing one singular word 
gasballceo: have you ever heard him call anyone but Ellie “buddy” 
quinnwitted: touche 
benjamin18: two things 
benjamin18: first of all we all rely on each other that is what friendship is, just because we rely on you differently than you rely on us doesn’t mean that we aren’t helping each other all the time
benjamin18: second of all you are literally a lucid
quinnwitted: yes?? 
benjamin18: and just because oliver & i can’t change this dreamscape anymore doesn’t mean that YOU can’t 
quinnwitted: ??? 
benjamin18: give yourself a job if you want 
benjamin18: or just infinite money 
benjamin18: it literally doesn’t matter nothing is real 
gasballceo: in an astrophysics way or a philosophy way
benjamin18: both are relevant 



Jasper | @ jasperofficial ✔︎ 
the dream team group chat can really go from “i need a job” to “nothing is real” in record time 
     |
     |
      Dudepants | @ gorgoblox5001
     that’s just what job hunting be like
       |
       |
        milo | @ gasballobsessed
       FELT 



quinnwitted: doesn’t that feel unethical 
benjamin18: doesn’t your existence 
jasperofficial: too far?? 
quinnwitted: no no he’s right
quinnwitted: also maybe kind of literally god 
quinnwitted: is this like going to confession
gasballceo: i’m pretty sure priests don’t tell you to sin 
quinnwitted: counterpoint: that one scene in fleabag 
gasballceo: if that’s a sin i don’t want to go to heaven 
jasperofficial: you guys need to stop talking about religion thinking about an afterlife in the context of the multiverse existing makes my head hurt 
benjamin18: sin isn’t real either 
gasballceo: so the priest from fleabag is absolved 
benjamin18: idk is that for me to decide that feels like something he should decide
gasballceo: should i put a hot priest in lumbersweats 
gasballceo: hey quinn do you want to play a hot priest in lumbersweats
gasballceo: there’s a job for you 
quinnwitted: i would kill it as a hot priest 
benjamin18: i do think we should circle back to quinn feeling like he relies to much on us
quinnwitted: i just want to be able to give you good presents 
gasballceo: fuck you i love the handmade handprint coaster you gave me last year 
benjamin18: Ellie still thinks that little bead lizard you made her in the coolest thing in the world 
jasperofficial: …….is this about my mom’s birthday???? 

 

 

Keep Your Quinn Up | @ quinnwitted
is now an appropriate time to make a “your mom” joke 
     |
     |
      Oliver Queen 🏹 | @ gasballceo
     no 



quinnwitted: your mom 
jasperofficial: what 
quinnwitted: nvm yes it’s about her birthday i just want to thank her for being so great to me 
jasperofficial: make her a card 
quinnwitted: :// 
jasperofficial: no i’m being serious 
jasperofficial: she has kept every card anyone has ever given her and i catch her rereading them sometimes, she’ll love it 
jasperofficial: don’t tell her i told you this but she snaps a picture of you everytime she sees you crafting she thinks it’s so sweet and cute
quinnwitted: really?? 
jasperofficial: why would i lie 
gasballceo: that’s so sweet wtf
gasballceo: for the record i also love quinn crafts
benjamin18: i don’t take pictures every time but i do have several of you colouring with Ellie 
benjamin18: it’s very cute 
quinnwitted: wtf i want those pictures 
benjamin18: remind me to send them when i’m not actively at work 
quinnwitted: you guys are too kind to me
gasballceo: not kind enough apparently 
gasballceo: “i rely on you too much” literally impossible anyway 
quinnwitted: <3 
jasperofficial: <3
benjamin18: <3
gasballceo: <4



Keep Your Quinn Up | @ quinnwitted

Chapter 22: the childhood dreams arc

Chapter Text

gasballceo: i want to go to new york city 

benjamin18: sure 

benjamin18: why

gasballceo: because this reality is made up of the dreams of your seven year old self and therefore i’m pretty sure that if i crawl into a new york city sewer i will get to meet the teenage mutant ninja turtles 

quinnwitted: what the fuck 

benjamin18: i’m pretty sure that’s not how that works 

gasballceo: i have 100% for sure without a doubt dreamt about donatello and if dreams are real that means he is real 

quinnwitted: i would’ve pegged you as a michaelangelo guy 

gasballceo: raphael is my favourite, actually. benny likes mikey 

quinnwitted: oh that tracks 

jasperofficial: what are you guys talking about??? 

jasperofficial: ninja mutant turtles?? 

gasballceo: no way 

gasballceo: NO WAY 

gasballceo: BENNY THIS IS FURTHER PROOF 

benjamin18: i really don’t think this is how it works 

quinnwitted: i mean…jasper did grow up at the same time as the rest of us. it would kind of weird if he wasn’t at least aware of tmnt, if it existed as a show here… 

benjamin18: i refuse to entertain the idea that there are mutant turtles living in the new york city sewer system 

quinnwitted: oh, but you’ll accept the long-dead memory of your second grade substitute teacher’s son? 

benjamin18: you cannot keep playing that card all the time man

benjamin18: first tmnt, now transformers, what’s next? are you going to try to track down GI Joe? 

gasballceo: don’t be stupid, benjamin 

gasballceo: you can’t ‘track down’ the GI Joe, they’re an elite and secret military force. i don’t want them waving their guns in my face 

jasperofficial: okay, you’re starting to worry me now 

quinnwitted: don’t be!! all of these things are children’s toys/tv shows, in most dreamscapes at least. and they must be the same in oliver’s dream too, otherwise he wouldn’t know that they exist if they aren’t shows here

jasperofficial: which would make mutant turtles and secret military operations real HERE, right?! 

gasballceo: and giant alien robots from space who turn into nice cars to disguise themselves among us 

benjamin18: not always nice cars 

gasballceo: usually nice cars 

quinnwitted: guys, please

Chapter 23: the swearing arc

Chapter Text

 

quinnwitted: so i told him that i like him better than ryan and he told me that was bitchy

quinnwitted: i didn’t mean to be bitchy

jasperofficial: i mean that is his brother. so i get why he might be offended

benjamin18: yeah i think it’s the phrasing

gasballceo: wait what the flip why were you hanging out one on one with alex

quinnwitted: oh forget about my thing did you just say what the flip ??

gasballceo: i have decided to give up swearing

benjamin18: why

gasballceo: one of my aunts said that only creatively bereft people swear

quinnwitted: and you believed her???? 

gasballceo: no ofc not

gasballceo: but she was complaining about lumbersweats and said that she didn’t understand why i couldn’t use “made up” swears since it’s a science fiction world

jasperofficial: she was complaining about lumbersweats? the show that is entering its final season? why is she bringing this up now? 

gasballceo: so i’m trying to prove a point that made up swears lack the same punch 

benjamin18: glad to see you’ve accepted the ending, jasper

jasperofficial: i have not

quinnwitted: so we can expect to see you using fake swears for how long 

gasballceo: at least a month 

quinnwitted: i will start the betting a $20 

benjamin18: i am morally obligated to not bet against my best friend

gasballceo: thank you benny 

benjamin18: you should ask the cult tho i bet they’d join you

gasballceo: betrayal 



william / @hoodiejasper

     well if the shoe fits 



jasperofficial: wait. hold on.

quinnwitted: waiting 

gasballceo: holding 

benjamin18: waiting and holding 

jasperofficial: does ‘yartmap’ count as a made up swear or not? 

gasballceo: FRICK

gasballceo: see it just doesn’t have the same impact 

quinnwitted: we all already knew that 

jasperoffical: i am putting it to a vote 




Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
did you get in trouble for saying ‘yartmap’ in school 
[yes - 83%] 
[no - 13%]
[i never even tried - 4%]

   raviollie / @gasballceo
   okay but consider, for me,

     Jasper / @jasperofficial ✔︎
     hmm… what do you think @benjamin18? 
       |
       | 
       don’t call me b*nny / @benjamin18 
       i think yartmap is considered a swear here
         |
         | 
         meelo milo / @gasballobsessed
         here??? 
           |
           |
           kila :) / @antiloveparasite
           maybe they mean ‘in english’?
             |
             |
             luke / @badtimelongtime 
             as opposed to italian, which oliver famously speaks
                |
                | 
                raviollie / @gasballceo
                i actually do speak italian :)



raviollie / @gasballceo
this may prove harder than i thought

    robert / @jasperwiththehat
    @orangejasperpuffer what does this do to our odds 
     |
     |
      peterson :) / @orangerjasperpuffer

         |
         |
          peterson :) / @orangejasperpuffer
          :) 

 

gasballceo: me: so what do we think of the new script
killian: what the **** is a ‘jungo-faced hexelkin’
me: it’s new swears :) 

benjamin18: no chance killian went for that 

quinnwitted: see your problem is that ur a jungo-faced hexelkin

benjamin18: me or oliver? 

quinnwitted: oliver 

quinnwitted: idk wtf he’s talking about but i know he’s an idiot 

jasperofficial: this reminds me of elf and i do not want to think about elf in april 

gasballceo: killian did not want to help me make my point 

benjamin18: that’s because killian’s job is to make sure that your show is successful 

gasballceo: my show is ending anyway 

jasperofficial: don’t remind me :( 

quinnwitted: look what youve done. uve made jasper sad 

gasballceo: i really cannot help that netflix cancelled my show

gasballceo: also like. i have hit the natural conclusion anyway

Stream my debut original single ‘Far From The Tree’ wherever you get your music now!
lyrics + guitar by me, production and everything else by @dudepantsalex 
[two images: the first, an album cover depicting quinn facing the camera dead-on with a hand covering half his face. the hand is edited to look like wood grain and the words ‘Far From The Tree - Quinn Hill’ run along the bottom of the cover in handwritten font. the second, a series of lyrics in the same handwritten font: “this is the sort of man that i’ll be / now that i’m far from the tree / now that i’m far from the tree / take a breath and release”]

[video: the cult is gathered at the cliff. oliver, who cannot sing, is belting Far From The Tree with incredible, awe-inspiring passion. the camera pans to reveal quinn, covering half his face with a hand. it does nothing to disguise his blush, or his smile.]
