#AToL Wilbur

[alexanderwesker]

it has been 639 days near exactly since I first read A Twin of Light, and it's permanently shifted the way I interpret characters, relationships, and fic (as well as normal writing) as a whole. I re-read it every four months or so and it's never any less incredible.

ATOL jump-started my own fic-writing experiences, and haunts my brain; it's the quality baseline for anything I read, the source of my standards for things I write. I've drafted fic-of-fic for it more times than I can count, I've scribbled General and Soot designs on the walls of my room; when I'm bored driving or much anything really, I tend to invent new stories for them, new scenarios taking place in that wonderful world you've made.

ATOL is my favorite fanfiction. Full stop. I can count on one hand the number of fanfics that have changed my life, and make no mistake ATOL is on that list. (The House Always Wins is similarly incredible; your dedication to what you do, what you write, keeping it up no matter how long it takes to complete, is insane.)

In about three months will be the two-year anniversary of my reading ATOL, and if I had even a fraction of the wherewithal I wish I did, I'd be making some huge animation or art piece in celebration, but I don't know how I'd ever manage to capture all that ATOL means to me in something like that, let alone how I'd ever manage the motivation- but if I could, I would in a heartbeat.

The relationship between General and Soot-- I've only read a relationship in fic even somewhat like it *twice* in the near two years since first discovering ATOL, and still nothing comes close to the way their bond was woven into every fucking aspect of that book in a way I've never seen since.

Your meticulous world-building, too; the way you craft gods and goddesses and magic and turn Minecraft into something *real*, the unique systems and ideas and consequences and costs of everything the characters do- it's so fucking good. It's so so well thought out , I can't imagine how long it must have taken to flesh out.

ATOL has gotten me through some really hard times in my life; knowing I had a fantastically made escape, knowing I could slip into the universe you've so carefully wrought, has let me get up and keep going on days I felt I'd never get back up. And it's all because of you and your passion!

You do this for fun, and because you want to, and I think that's the most stunning thing of it all! Human passion, human joy, used to make something like ATOL, something that impacts perhaps thousands of others, imprints on them for the rest of their lives-- I can't imagine anything more beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you so, so, so fucking much.

Whatever you do, whatever you write, you will always have my Internet - stranger self's undying support.

I've also got some questions pertaining to your realistic!verse & the ATOL characters, if you don't mind! :)

1. What exactly happened with Quackity and the Sky Gods? What game, what demands, etc?

2. How do others perceive Jack with his Nether-type power; did Wil ever treat him differently for it (while he was, y'know, without his General, before everything went down?)

3. Are the Sky Gods two entities, one, or more?

4. Are there stories told about Soot and General post-ATOL? How is their relationship seen in those tales?

5. What does Phil do about Wil's disappearance once in the real world once , more? (You do not need to answer this if it makes you uncomfy, as always :)

6. How did Soot and General feel during the Tommy -blessing misunderstanding discovery? How would the story have changed if their relationship had been more romantic?

7. Is fic-of-fic accepted for your universe? Any ground rules, yes/no's of what one could write?

----

Thanks for your time in answering, and thanks for everything you've written & given us all. ♥️

I don't know what to say, Anon. It really means a lot to me to hear that my story means so much to someone else other than me. And know that your words made me really happy to read, I've been going through a rough patch recently and your message means the world to me. To know that Soot and the General and their relationship helped you, that the world I made could be of help. Really from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for your words and I hope you have a wonderful day ^-^ --- To answer your questions(and don't worry I'm always up to answer questions ^D^) 1. Quackity challenged the Sky Gods, specifically Scott, though he is called Dawn in the Realistic!Verse, at a game of Poker. The game was played with as prize, if Quackity won to get the power to reach his goals(the Gods gave him his magic seeing eye because of that), and if the Sky Gods won for Quackity to be their plaything forever. There is to say though that even if Quackity won the Sky Gods did not fully keep to their promise. 2. The people in L'Manberg are the most normal about Jack's Situation, and those that don't know the whole story think that he is just some kind of Nether Hybrid) about Soot he didn't treat him that much different from how he did before, but he did keep him arms distance away because he wasn't sure if he could really trust him(like all others) 4. The Sky Gods are multiple, their names are based on the phases of the Sun in the Sky and the oldest of them is the Sun itself. And of course, the youngest of them, being Night. 5. That is a good question, I think Phil would try to help people come to terms with the fact that their streamer would not be appearing anymore, but if he can he would still try to reassure them that he is okay, but other than that sadly there wouldn't be much he can do. Since he would be hiding, as best as he can, the particular traits that that world left onto him. 6. They were kind of embarrassed about the whole situation once they discovered what Tommy had been thinking was going on between them but I can't see that changing anything on how they act towards one another. As for the second question, I don't believe the story, or the way it was told, would have changed that much had the Burs had something romantic going on, if only because their relationship is already so profound and close (even being platonic) that I cannot see it change in any particular way had their love been romantic, though they would have probably had even more gestures(not to say that they don't have many already in my canon) to show each other their love and care. 7. I am completely fine with people writing fanfics of my stories, and I'm always happy to see what you guys come up with and what ideas to explore. I just ask to have the original story linked(even better to get a related story link so I can directly connect them to my work :D) I don't have any hard 'No's when it comes to fics of my fics ^^ As for ground rules the only one I have is for the characterization of the characters to be based on my own than the DSMP one because then it wouldn't really be a fic about my stories :P Other than that feel free to write whatever scenario you imagine be it following my canon or being an AU, a "missing scene" kind of thing or a slice of life. I welcome all fanworks ^D^

Thank you again for your ask ^D^feel free to ask more questions if you have any more.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN QUACKITY WANTS TO MARRT ATOLE NO HE DOESN'T HE'S MARRIED TO WILBUR(in my head) THIS IS OBSCENE

[alexanderwesker]

!!!! Thank you so much for the fan arts!! They are all so cool! And the range of your styles is just *chef's kiss* Again thank you! ^_^ (Also I can see the merit in how strange it would have looked if Q had been dressed like one of the tourists of Las Nevadas instead of the all black attire that he had xd)

yeah yeah I know quackity wears black in chapter one but I just thought it would be really fun to see him walking around las nevadas dressing like one of the tourist there you know what I mean so here we go

read the fic right now:

FANART for A Twin of Light by @alexanderwesker ch56

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29769780/chapters/73232367

[ID: cc!wil is sitting cross legged, with bandages wrapped around his torso. his eyes glow faintly, and his mouth and neck are smeared with blood. he has a worried, slightly distant and shell-shocked expression. c!wilbur lays unconscious in cc!wil's lap, held close in cc!wil's arms. cc!wil also holds c!wilbur's hair ribbon. End ID]

[cupofteasant]

Me & Atole spent a whole hour making a court case against Mama-ler ((Once-ler’s mother)), and then the other 30 minutes were the other people in the server debating whether Wilbur was a sexyman or not that devolved into whether he’s a bitch or not.

[alexanderwesker]

Ahh, I love this fanart!! It's so good! And you really nailed Wilbur's imposing creepy demeanor in that scene. I also love that it's all black and white bar for the blood vines and Wilbur's eyes! Thank you so much!! [Can I link this in the notes of the next chapter of Whispers of Red?] (I'd love to see what you come up for AToL, and I'll be very happy to reblog and put the link in the notes if you ever do that fan art!)

Not me speedruning art and leaving schoolwork to dust ahahahahaha...

Anyway here's fanart of @alexanderwesker 's fanfic "Whispers of Red" perfectly unsettling sequel to the fic "Drawing Dead"

[moonwalkertrance]

America’s wild places survive by the grace of a human promise. For more than 150 years, it has been an article of collective faith and national pride that once we protect a wild place, it is to be safeguarded for all time.

But in the coming days, President Trump will try to shatter that promise.

The president is expected to travel to Utah on Monday to announce that he is repealing protections for as many as two million acres of public land in the American West, an area more than six times the size of Grand Teton National Park, including vast portions of two national monuments in the state, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante.

Mr. Trump’s plans add up to the largest elimination of protected areas in American history. He is a vandal in our midst, coming in person to lay waste to the land. This theft of our heritage should awaken us to the damage being piled up across our public lands under this administration.

If he succeeds, tens of thousands of Native American sacred sites in southern Utah will be at renewed risk of looting. Red rock canyon lands will face the prospect of being stripped for coal and drilled for oil and gas. And the wild places where we hike and hunt and find solitude may not be there for future generations to do the same.

Thankfully, President Trump alone does not have the power to overturn America’s conservation laws and traditions. Congress granted presidents the authority to create national monuments, but not to eliminate them, reduce their size or sell them out to private interests. If the president attempts a unilateral attack on America’s national monuments, the courts can and should step in to restore the rule of law.

Still, President Trump’s attack on America’s national monuments is but one front in his sweeping assault on protected lands and waters.

His interior secretary, Ryan Zinke, has overturned a ban on mining on 10 million acres of wildlife habitat in the West and, against the wishes of Republican and Democratic governors there, is undermining a regionally developed plan to conserve the sagebrush steppe ecosystem. Mr. Zinke’s action will threaten habitat that protects 350 wildlife species and push at least one bird, the greater sage-grouse, closer to the brink of extinction.

His commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, has completed a secret review of national marine sanctuaries and national marine monuments to determine which protected ocean areas should be thrown open for offshore drilling and industrial-scale commercial fishing. On the chopping block: protections for coral reefs and atolls in the Pacific, seamounts and canyons in the Atlantic, and feeding grounds for whales and sharks off California.

In Congress, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, has added an environmental rider to the Republican tax plan that would require the government to lease part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling. The refuge’s coastal plain, which has the largest concentration of land-based polar bear dens in the United States and is a calving ground for the Porcupine caribou herd, would be forever lost to an industrial oil field.

The architects of these attacks are aiming to help private companies make a quick buck off unspoiled lands and waters. But, more fundamentally, they are seeking to undercut the idea of permanence that is the foundation for the protection of all America’s wildlife refuges, national monuments, parks and protected areas.

Mr. Trump’s foray into the West to fan the flames of his war against the environment could mark a turning point, however. Imagine that the president, as he peers down from Air Force One at the magnificent landscapes spreading out below, could hear and heed the words of Theodore Roosevelt resonating from his 1903 visit to the Grand Canyon:

“Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it; not a bit. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children and your children’s children and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American, if he can travel at all, should see.”

We must rise up, speak out and, in the spirit of Roosevelt, demand an end to this desecration of our national heritage.

[alexanderwesker]

hiii sorry i know AToL ended awhile ago but i still love that work <3

what do u think general and soot are doing? i think they r having a nice dinner and holding hands maybe :)

Hey, it's okay ^^ doesn't matter that I finished AToL a while back you can always send asks about it if you have any.

To answer your question, yeah ^^ I think they are having a good time now. Maybe taking long walks in the forest and around the lake in the mornings and being able to spend time together without worrying about things. ^^

Thank you for the ask, anon

While trump and his secretary of the interior, ryan zinke, are “reviewing” the national monuments, trump has ordered that some of the marine sanctuaries and preserves and monuments created or expanded by Presidents Bush and Obama also be reviewed. This review is occur under the auspices of the Department of Commerce and its secretary, wilbur ross, specifically by the NOAA, which oversees the marine sanctuaries and preserves and monuments. Why? Because trump is determined to disassemble anything done by President Obama, and because his oil industry friends covetously eye anything they can’t have.

Comments are due by July 26.

Here are some of the sanctuaries off the shores of California under review:

Excerpt:

Eleven national marine sanctuaries and monuments — from Monterey Bay to New England to the South Pacific — could lose protections under new details of a Trump Administration plan released Monday that seeks to expand offshore oil and gas drilling.

The areas total 425 million acres of coral reefs, sandy beaches, and habitat for whales, dolphins, turtles, birds and fish — equal in size to roughly one-fifth of the Lower 48 states.

“These are America’s most sensitive ocean areas,” said Richard Charter of Bodega Bay, a senior fellow with the Ocean Foundation, an environmental group. “Trump is going for the jugular of the marine environment here. It’s incoherent.”

On April 28, President Trump signed an executive order requiring U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to review any actions taken since 2007 that expanded existing national marine sanctuaries or monuments or established new ones, and to report back to the White House in October.

“Today we are unleashing American energy and clearing the way for thousands and thousands of high-paying American energy jobs,” Trump said then at a White House ceremony.

The federal notice showed areas that could be reduced in size are:

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary: In 2008, Bush expanded the sanctuary, which stretches from the Marin Headlands to Hearst Castle, by 496,000 acres to include Davidson Seamount, a dormant underwater volcano 80 miles southwest of Monterey that scientists with high-tech underwater subs found is thick with 10-foot tall coral forests, fields of colorful sponges, crabs and anemones that close like Venus flytraps. The entire Monterey Bay sanctuary, first set aside by Congress and President George Bush Sr., in 1992, would not be affected, but the seamount area could be removed.

Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank national marine sanctuaries: In 2015, Obama more than doubled the size of two Northern California marine sanctuaries, extending them by 50 miles from the Marin County coast up the rugged Sonoma and Mendocino coasts. That expansion could be revoked, clearing the way for oil drilling there.

Channel Islands: Bush made minor boundary adjustments to expand this sanctuary off Southern California by 9,600 acres near where oil companies have drilled for generations.

American Samoa: Obama expanded the national marine sanctuary here by 8.7 million acres in 2012.

Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument: In 2016, Obama vastly expanded this area off the northwest Hawaiian Islands, first set aside for protection by Bush,  creating the largest ocean preserve in the United States to protect 10 mostly uninhabited islands from Midway Atoll to reefs west of Kauai that are thick with sea turtles, tropical fish, monk seals and albatrosses.

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary: In 2014, Obama roughly doubled the size of this sanctuary on Lake Huron in Michigan that is the site of 116 historic shipwrecks popular with divers and researchers.

Other sanctuaries and ocean monuments established in the last 10 years that could be revoked entirely are:

Marianas Trench Marine National Monument: Set aside by Bush in January, 2009, this monument bans oil and gas drilling and other industrial activity across 60 million acres near Guam and the Mariana Islands, both U.S. possessions, to protect the Marianas Trench, the world’s deepest ocean area, at more than 6 miles deep.

Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument: 3.1 million acres set aside by Obama in 2016 off the New England Coast where coral reefs, sea mounts, sperm whales and other features are located. Five commercial fishing groups have filed suit to overturn the designation.

Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument: Established by Bush in 2009 and expanded by Obama in 2014, this 55 million-acre area includes Wake Island, Johnston Atoll, Palmyra Atoll and other South Pacific islands known for their whales, monk seals and coral reefs.

Rose Atoll Marine National Monument: 8 million acres east of American Samoa and established by Bush, the area is rich with giant clams and reef sharks.

Just realized since I randomly found your blog on Tumblr the other day after being on your ao3 since basically the start of aToL, I can finally give you the terrible fan art I made years ago, literally the first fanart I did for any fic ever :D its pretty bad and I've improved since but your writing inspired me to art more and now I'm actually okay at art

Okay thank you bye have a good timezone 🫶

Hello!

I'm honored to know that you have been following my stories for so long!

And about the fanart, I think it's pretty good, and I like how all the eyes have different shapes and different pupils. I think it conveys the situation of Soot seeing the eyes in pogtopia and how that disturbed him quite well.

Thank you for sharing your fanart with me ^^

I hope you are also having a good day/night ^__^

[alexanderwesker]

ok. but. imagine twin of light right? but instead of ccbur its revy. smiles im high and drunk

Hey anon!

Oh, it would be very interesting to see how AToL's plot would go if it was Revidedbur there. Since him and Soot would be on a closer mindset.

Though it makes me wonder how it would go with the actual General too.

They would both be interesting stories to tell.

Hmmmmm.... I'll be thinking about it, because they both would be interesting stories to tell.

And I miss writing about Soot.

Thank you for your ask anon. Wish you a good day ^-^

[alexanderwesker]

"love like you" from steven universe is SUCH a soot and general song :(

It really is, man.

(If I may suggest the cover of the song by Ashe sounds exactly how I think Soot would sing it)

Thank you for sharing your opinion with me ^^

[alexanderwesker]

yay im glad u liked them!!! heres some more cat hcs since that was ur fave :D

- at first, general was the one showing the most affection to their new pet since he was the one that found it first-- cuddling with it, hugging it, and letting it rest in his lap. soot was a little more cautious, he loved petting the cat but he was scared he would accidentally hurt it or annoy it. until one night he woke up from a nightmare and felt the cat crawl into his lap, calming him down. he ended up hugging it until he fell asleep again.

- soot also had a joking rivalry with their new cat-- he would joke that it was stealing his general away but he actually thinks it's really cute when general shows affection to the cat. a little bit of innocence he didnt know he still had.

- the cat likes to sleep at the foot of their bed and curl up by their feet. sometimes when theres a thunderstorm, it'll get scared and crawl closer to them, and cuddle with the burs for the night

- a continuation of one of my last hcs: on days where soot gets up earlier than the general and goes to surprise him with breakfast in bed, the cat likes to follow him and sit there while he cooks. soot didn't mind cooking alone in the morning, especially since he knew his general was only a few rooms down, but it was nice to have some company. he feeds the cat some scraps too

These are so cute! I like them so much. Thank you for sharing them with me!!

[alexanderwesker]

i have a TON of domestic burs headcanons to share omg 🙏🙏 they live in my head rent free

- whenever soot wakes up throughout the night and isnt able to get back to sleep, sometimes he'll get up and make breakfast and coffee as a nice surprise for his general

- general started keeping a sketchbook and will occasionally sketch soot whenever the other isnt paying attention. theres drawings of him cooking, singing, relaxing-- soot eventually found the sketchbook and thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. he'll occasionally take it and add his own drawings of the general for wil to find later

- general found a stray cat outside their cottage and started feeding it and got WAY too attached and ended up begging soot for them to keep it as a pet. he said yes (of course) bc he saw how happy it made the general and because he's always wanted a cat but never had the time to keep one

- this one is a little self indulgent but i like to think that the burs have a guest room in the governor's mansion OR some sort of penthouse in the capital whenever they want to visit the city + tommy for longer than a day. everyone loves them of course and it can be a little overwhelming at times, but it's nice to visit everyone

- whenever they do visit the capital, soot likes to take general around and show him all the best shops and restaurants and cafes-- (soot thinks that his general has never seen lmanburg post-independence, general is technically experiencing the beauty of lmanburg for the first time) and they just have so much fun together

sorry this was so long but i hope u enjoy!!! <3 i love ur works more than anything, atol is probably my all time favorite fic and one of the best fics ive ever read :) so happy that they all got a happy ending

You don't need to apologize! I like your head anons very much and they are so sweet!! Made me go 'aww', and it also pretty much fits with the Burs they are very sweet with each other.

And I really like the cat one!(Cause I love cats and I find the idea of them having a cat very cute)

I'm glad to hear you enjoy my works so much!! It means a lot to me. And I'm glad you liked the ending of their story(I hope you'll like the epilogue too ^^)

Thank you for sharing your headcanons with me ^_^
