''He will slay you with His tongue'' Wilbur : *''It was never meant to be.''*

i love how techno decided: “im not gonna cut my hair, ever”

Techno: I reject all family canon Animators: How about *no*

I just realized something, and its probably not intentional, but: Technoblade and Wilbur Soot each put there hands up to the sun, and pave their own path in the world, but Tommy is still looking at the book. He's still trying to find his place, and is following in is brothers footsteps.

The Soldier, Poet, King, and Child.

Song: "He will tear your city down." Art: Techoblade Me: No no he literally will.

Goodbye Technoblade. Fierce warrior and soldier. May you rest, and trust you will not be forgotten. We will all miss you dearly, and reminisce in all you have done for us. We thank you. For everything.

Techno could honestly be all three. Solider: he was one of if not the best Minecraft pvp players ever Poet: He was an English major and is known for really good monologues in some of his videos: King: The Potato King

Wilbur and Techno: grow up to adults Tommy: still child

The fact Wilbur's smile just fades away is heart-aching.

An entire anime could be made about techno at this point and I would love every second of it

watching this after technos passing makes me feel slightly better but is also breaking my heart

I love this. I can't tell you how much I love how they "grow up".

I was like "Technoblade's gotta be the king tho ?" And then I heard the lyrics from the soldier : "He will tear your city down." Ah yes, this definitely matches him.

i love how when techno is aging down his smile changes from menacing to more peaceful like as he grew older he lost the peace and life made him more spiteful. and how wilbur as he ages up looks more tired like in the end he just wanted to be done with it all.

I love how the child version of Techno actually has a crown in card board, you can see the tape that holds it together, when the shot if from his back side.

This is my favorite Soldier, Poet, King animatic I've seen by far The shots of them growing up are perfect.

The fact that Tommy got his braces off and yet all animators are refusing to believe that is great.

the entire day after i found out about technoblade's passing, i had this song stuck in my head while crying. a few days later this shows up in my recommended. i really love this animatic

"A society that separates it's warriors from it's poets will have it's thinking done by cowards and it's fighting done by fools" - Thucydides Edit: Not sure when the hell I got 300 likes but ill go with it

Okay but imagine that pilza got this book from karls library and its actually about them but they just don't know it.

I noticed that techno's crown, when he was a child, was paper with tape..... THE START OF IT ALL WAS PAPER

Missing you already techno, Taken away too soon. "Don't be sad that he is gone, be happy that he was there"

I remember watching this when it came out and coming back to this after years feels f*cking insane.

I adore this, king suits tommy so much better than when people try to make him the soldier just because techno has the cape and crown

Phil: Which do you think you will grow up to be techno? the ruler the warrior or the poet? Technoblade: POTATOE FARMER

Keep scrolling if you don’t want a quick story about this amazing animatic 😂 Philza searched, Philza flew far and wide. He was bored and felt dull with taking care of middle aged men that acted like five year olds. He hung in the midst of L’manburg, in his cottage, comfortable as he laid. One time after he took a calming trip around the arid hills and sometimes finding new discoveries, he looked in his bookshelf as he was tired of yelling at Tubbo, Fundy and them. “You’ll melt!” He said to a strange, phantom man that he didn’t know that one day would be his own son. He picked out an old, rusty book with no cover, but a hazel, dusty, plain gilded interior was all there was to comprehend. He flipped through the pages elegantly, glancing at few of the words, he noticed it was unfinished, but the story it told was one to remember to the old, winged god. “Once a boy now man-pig,” it read, “he once wielded a sword and rid his steed, and never looks back. Some would say he is fierce, some would say that though violent, he could be kind, compassionate, and empathetic. Nobody believed them silly rumors, everyone knew in the end that his battalion would forever be stained with blood and a faint scent of flesh.” Philza then flipped the page as he suddenly became intrigued on what this anonymous author began to write. “There was a friend of said murderer, a musician. Who knew that it could work out with them being together, but it did. He’d never seemed abused nor afraid to shout and fight with the intention to kill with his words, much less a sword was when the piglin needed to train him in that area. It was always fun to see them battling together then laugh at the musician’s failures.” The book quickly turned into a calming kind of experience, though it seemed odd that it mentioned that the author was there with them. Philza doesn’t care, his gaze locked onto the book even though he knew Fundy was screaming, “grandpa!” outside of his front door. The winged god stayed quiet though. He sipped a glass of water beside him, laid it down, and readjusted himself to read more. “Then, there was a child whom frightened to grow and read his own diary or story, though tired, he walked and tracked with them, and loved them. The blonde-haired freak, always getting on my nerves and Wilbur’s.” They’d finally said a name. Surely the piglin wasn’t named Wilbur, Philza inquired, it had to be the musician that seemed depressed to his thoughts. “It was hilarious seeing them laughing together, and Technoblade’s silent rebuttals and protests never seemed to go through with the squirmy tall toddler, he still chuckled some, gave him a hard way, and felt as a bigger brother to me and them as well. He was always my favorite,” the author put the last part in italics to show the secret. They must’ve been there, he kept thinking, suddenly believing that he had knew his fellow god-friend. Phil didn’t want to go too in depth with that question though, it was getting late after all. Philza flipped yet another page, seeing half of the text ripped off, he saw half of the authors name, and a small side note that managed to survive. “Brothers, now separated, I’m in the middle of it.” Was what he interpreted. Then, the author stated, “By Ph-“ as Phil finished the word to being his name. Suddenly, Phil closed the book looking up at a massive piglin with sharp tusks, but a gentle grin and the same look the book described. Wilbur, the supposed boy with talents with a musician, looked depressed with his red beanie, but the blonde-haired child pushed him to make him chuckle. Technoblade suddenly jumped up, looking to his horse, Carl with gentle and determined eyes, he said farewell to his family, holding his hand at the sun with his thumb spread out confidently. Wilbur said goodbye to them too, leaving the gremlin with Phil, having his hand up to and walking with a vibrant book in his hand with music notes written everywhere. “Could I see the book?” The kid walked to the old, now damaged winged man. “Sure,” he calmly stated. He gave him the book, as the boy looked carefully inside. He took it with him, walking away with his brothers in a calm manner, not looking up once until he threw the book onto the soft grass, running up to his brothers with pride inside of his heart. Philza snapped back into reality, answering Fundy’s call. Thanks for reading, little long, but whatevs. 4/4

For some reason this was the song that’s been playing in my head since I got the news. I do not really understand why but I can’t think of a better one. May the blood god tackle the kingdom of heaven as he did every other task. We will miss you Alex.

Why does no one talk about the fact that Techno probably stole that crown from a monarchy he destroyed?

Technoblade could literally be both king, soldier and poet

Rest In Peace Soldier Boy.

Wilbur slays people with a different thing in his mouth

The funny thing is that, Techno’s actually all three.

Missed opportunity to have Tommy steal Techno's crown in the end and yell in triumph while Techno chases after him (since he's the King). Woulda been a great wholesome moment

The transition with Techno growing up at 0:22 is so well drawn it really makes me feel like I'm watching someone grow up and into themselves I can't even

I love how one of the main things I noticed about this animatic is that in the transition scene for Tommy, showing as he grew older just looked like he was slowly shrinking in size, just becoming more of a child that when he started off 😂

When you condense their experience into short seconds and frames the storyline hits hard :’)

Wilber and tommy growing to be pretty normal Techo: There will be no man, woman or child alive

I cried the first time I watched this, and I'm crying now. Dream SMP found me at a really dark time, and watching them all muck about, was such a light in the dark. It was hard to see it all end, and it's even harder now that Techno is gone. Gone, but never ever forgotten. Rest easy, Techno. I'll never forget the joy watching all of you brought when I needed it the most.

I love the way Technoblade's mask seems to mature along with him, growing tusks and becoming more menacing.

This was supposed to be wholesome I think but it made me so sad because they were once brothers and they grew so apart to the point one is dead, his life passion destroyed, and the other two are bitter enemies. :(

Don't mind me, just letting my inner nerd out. (Phil finishes his story, the three leave, laughing. Tubbo comes out, having been in the forest bee-watching) Phil: What is it? Tubbo: If they're all that, Phil, what am I? I don't love fighting, I can't write well, and I don't think I'd be a good leader. (Phil thinks) Phil: Tubbo, even if you never become any of those things, which I doubt very much, you'll still be you. You are the glue that holds your brothers together. So, you probably hate this. This is just my thing. I feel like people too often leave Tubbo out of stuff like this, so... yeah.

he will slay you with his tongue. “it was never meant to be.”

This makes me cry knowing that after such a long, close and beautiful journey, techno is not with them anymore.

THIS GIVES ME SO MUCH SERITONIN

No one: My mind: *TECHNO WITH BOB CUT TECHNO WITH BOB CUT TECHNOWITHBOBCUTTECHNOWITHBOBCUTTECHNOWITHBOBCUT*

This animation will always hold a special place in my heart. I put this on along with a bunch of his videos when I heard the news. Rest in peace Techno, our loved soilder

A very sincere animatic, Technoblade will always live in such creations.

Headcannon: a few hours after telling the story under the tree, while herding his children back home, they all came across a box, lying on the side of the road. Inside that box was itty little tubbo, sleeping Edit: holy hell y'all, thanks for the 18hundred upvotes, yesterday I had like, a hundred tops 2.4k?! What?!

Anybody else noticed that tech techno's crown got bigger and fancier each time? Starting from a cardboard one to a giant crown

now this hurts sm to watch,, :(

This is honestly the most creative one of soilder, poet, king I've seen I personally love it!

I couldn't help but smile watching this, it's not just a homage to their characters, but to their own friendship as well, it's beautiful and full of heart! I just loved this so much, thank you for this :)

Lol, this song went from a Christian song, to a D&D song, all the way to a Minecraft roleplaying song.😂

this is so beautiful, it shows how tommy is yet to fulfill his destiny while wilbur and techno already have

I like how everyone agrees that Wilbur is a poet

If you didn’t smile at *least* once while watching this I’m just gonna assume you don’t have a mouth to smile with

Anyone can become a soldier, a poet, and a king. However, there is a specific man that can raise all three. And that man is Philza Edit: Thanks for the 1k likes!!!!!!! Edit: Make that thanks for the 2k likes Edit: And now 3k likes!

Technoblade, feared for not only his incredible PVP skills, but also for his quick quips. The true King of Minecraft, Rest In Piece.

Seeing Techno after all this time feels so surreal and nostalgic. Rest in peace Blood god. You still manage to give me goosebumps.

Seeing techno, wil, and tommy sitting with Phil feels like he’s picking a starter Pokémon

The soldier would live to see rulers and kings as the true enemy. Meanwhile, the poet and king will be working to build a new nation. But the poet's words became meaningless to the king who he had advised. The soldier would then turn on both the poet and king, the poet would betray the king, and the king would just kinda retire and make a hotel.

RIP to the legend :(

this fills me with such a sense of comfort it's unreal. i could watch this on loop and love it every time, amazing work!!

I love this, Philza is centuries old in the lore and he has one life bc of it since he's lived so long. But with that time he's been alive he's seen all different types of people, soldiers, poets, and kings. So with his wisdom from being so old he wrote a song and book about the past people he has seen and how he sees the same people but better in Technoblade, Wilber, and Tommy. In the end they became what their mentor said they would be, a soldier, a poet, and a king

This is officially my favorite Soldier Poet King animatic on KZfaq.

Its kinda sad that Tommy's "family" all turned out to be villains, all blowing up the city and country he loved.

Techno still yet has to kill the rest of the orphans

Technoblade fits all three categories. Definitely a lord, crown and all Definitely a poet, man spits fire concisely and in a way that is cool as hell Definitely a warrior, blood god and all that.

AHSGYS THIS IS SO GOOD IM LEAVING A COMMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM

I like how all 3 charector's smile slowly disappears as they age.

this song is just heart breaking for me... cus techno died :[ ¨TECHNO NEVER DIES¨ what a king :[

Phil: Which do you think you will grow up to be techno? the ruler the warrior or the poet? Technoblade: Yes

can we quickly appreciate the small detail of tommy’s bad posture when they were all sitting

Ill miss those day will never be bacbk

Long may he reign, Technoblade.

If I don't come to find this having blown up I swear to god. Every single frame of this is gorgeous. Every. Single. Frame.

I love the small details, like technoblades crown starting out like paper or cardboard taped and then transforming into a full crown

TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES

I adore this so much, everything from the music choice, to our boys to Phil being the best dad ever conceived, I just feel like the younger versions of our characters should have weaker jawlines than their mature versions, other than that it's pretty much a 10/10, your anatomy is awesome and your art style is beautiful

What's funny is Techno is all three, The King of the Pigmen, The Storyteller, telling the story of Theseus, and The Soldier, battling to end Tyranny in all forms.

"He will tear your city down" Well, you're not wrong

I came back to this again & Now I'm crying all over again

That's the animatic that got me into the dsmp fandom. I am so thankful. Genuinely. Thank you so much for making this.

Techno is all three. He was a soldier fighting for his cause, then a poet, living in peace, now he will become a ruler through the anarchy he brings!

i love this sort of thing, and as everyone is writing their opinions in the sea of comments i might as well do the same. soldier: the soldier is strong in battle, and capable of destroying countries with his skills, yet must also be somewhat lawful. the only sleepy boi (excluding Phil) this could truly fit is techno, as his skills have literally torn down cities and decimated armies, and has always stuck to the same set of rules: to oppose tyranny. Wilbur is more of a strategist and scribe than warrior while Tommy is on the lower side of fighting ability. poet: the poet must be strong with their words and capable of slaying their opponents with their speech. this one is undoubtedly Wilbur as that is his main thing. he has written songs, speeches, laws, and an entire anthem. he is persuasive enough to cause Phil to kill him with nothing but his words, thereby fulfilling the 'capable of killing with his words' part of the requirements. while it could be techno as he has shown himself to be eloquent as well, and has repeatedly won arguments in and out of combat, even if it doesn't cause change. The problem with that however, is that this is not what he is known for, and he has never killed with his tongue. to put it another way, he has a level 63 speech ability, but a 100 swordsmanship, whereas speech is Wilburs main ability. Tommy could never be the poet as he has proven himself to be somewhat childish (the character, not the person) in his speech, often looping back around to state the same thing even if it was proven wrong and ever really gave a speech. king: this one is the most up for grabs, as all of them have a legitimate claim to it. "a king should be able to inspire and care for people, rally troops in battle and settle disputes with the least possible bloodshed." technoblade: Techo's claim for kingship are his abilities to lead , bring out the best in his team and bring much needed supplies. he has proven himself capable of leading assaults multiple times, such as during the war against schlatt when he devised a way to attack the people in the cobblestone monolith and in the doomsday war when he made the majority of the plan after being given a time limit and a rough outline by dream. he has also proven himself charismatic, as seen though all he has done to campaign against it was destroy their homes, he continues to gain more and more support from former l'manbergians, and many friends. he has also proven himself capable of providing food, comfort ad equipment to everyone he cares about, as his farms fed everyone in the cavern, and later he continued to feed his friends luxurious foods, and he has also given many people on the server netherite armor, much of which is still being used to this day by his enemies and friends alike. Wilbur soot: wilburs clam is his ability to gather and lead people, he is the one who first started l'manberg and though his charisma managed to create a entire city. after being exiled he also cheered Tommy up, and made powerful new friends very quickly to fight manberg. even after becoming a depressed ghost he still manages to fix other peoples problems and while he no longer leads, he does still subtlety steer the way politics go. Tommy: Tommy is a bit special in this regard, as he has proven himself incompetent toward leading, doesn't have much charisma, and is so bad at providing for even himself he has been likened to a raccoon, yet he still manages to draw people in with his ideals. time very shortly, helped Wilbur build the cavern revolutionaries, raised everyones mood, and proven to usually take center stage. even when he has power, he still doesn't let it corrupt him, which is a very rare and amazig abiliy. it is the reason he should be the king. he is charming (yet annoying), brave (yet cowardly), fair (yet greedy), average in strength and looks, loyal and uncorruptible.

Phil looks like he comes straight out off the avatar and lok universe

Even though he’s no longer with us, Techno will always be there…watching over the friends he made during his KZfaq career - Philza. WilburSoot. TommyInnit. Tubbo. Nihachu. Dream. Long live the legend. Long live the great warrior. Rest In Peace Alex. O7. TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!

Some random city that needs destroying (probably l'manburg)- just vibing Technoblade: NERD SPOTTED, alright phil hold my potatoes while I go in

POV: This ain't you're first time here...

Ah i love this so much!!! The way you show them growing and then back to their child self is so good! The way you draw smol techno...my beloved. I love how tired Wilbur looks in pogtopia and his lil soft expressions and I love the way Tommy had so many little bandages and him holding the book in the end is so good. I also just purely adore how you draw Phil

Tough decision to wether techno would be the soldier or king

Absolutely wonderful storytelling! It feels like Phil is telling the boys a legend bound to their futures!

THIS IS AMAZING I CRYINGGGG also: My head cannons from this: - After telling the story under the tree, while going back home, they see a box, lying in the side of the road. Inside that box is Tubbo - Philza got this book from Karls library and the book actually just about them

So long, soldier. Thank you for everything.

Haven't came across an animation that's more fitting honestly. This is great :)

Oh man you did the aging perfectly!!! It looked so natural

I love this so much man- Now they have adopted a tall ender boyo... as a cousin.. lol

Thank you for making this coming back to this now after technos passing makes me feel a little better
