“Exiled” // Blade family: Techno, Ranboo (By association)

»

So clearly, this AU has become much more than JUST a goldenboys AU. Flare and Crater was and is still a goldenboys centric fic idea (with more attention to Purpled), but the universe itself has practically fleshed itself out before my eyes, haha : ) I’m gonna explain the entire universe as I have it right now, but will try and keep the focus on Goldenboys just because. Also gonna just mainly talk about the first three families at first.

In the beginning it’s Phil and Techno as friends, but I don’t know what their status is regarding mortality. Phil is a crow avian, and Techno is a piglin hybrid. Yes I know this AU doesn’t take place IN minecraft, no I do not care.

Just to keep it short, Phil is a king, Techno is a knight and basically his right hand man, a war is fought and Techno commits some not so legal war acts so he. Exiles himself so Phil doesn’t have to! He ventures far out to a place he can’t be easily located, and only semi frequently keeps in touch for safety reasons. Phil says he could use his power to pardon what Techno did, but Techno doesn’t want to have Phil wrapped up in scandal. So, he stays away.

Maybe a couple years later(?) Phil meets Kristin and eventually marries her, which makes her Queen of Velaron. What Phil is Not made aware of is that Kristin is a Goddess of Death ! Phil isn’t in any danger though, so she doesn’t say anything. Becoming pregnant with their first son, Wilbur, is when concerns are raised in her brain. She expresses “anxieties” about something being wrong with Wilbur when he’s born, because she’s worried bad things about her were passed down to Wilbur. But nothing is visibly wrong; Wilbur is born perfectly fine, and he has some white feathers. (Swan avian?? I’m not fully set on that yet but I wanna keep it as a swan. If it isn’t clear idgaf about passing down traits, I mostly care about symbolism and/or looks.) Wilbur Soot Craft is the first born.

A couple years pass, and while Kristin is still meaning to tell Phil the truth, she just can’t find the words. Eventually, she’s pregnant again with Thomas (Tommy). With Wilbur being born fine, her worries are settled this time around, but only slightly. Techno is communicating a little with the family during this period, and after hearing that Kristin is pregnant, Phil offers him the opportunity of giving their second son Thomas a middle name. He chooses Theseus. Thomas Theseus Craft is his chosen name.

When Tommy is born into the world, Kristin is immediately filled with panic. On the crown of his head there are little points, and she is immediately certain that they are horns. Amongst the wisps of blonde curls are red streaks. Tommy has presented as a Finch Avian—specifically a House Finch avian (still wondering if I wanna make shit up and say it’s a symbolism of a bad omen. idk his avian type might change but WHATEVER). Phil is obviously rather confused, but he tries to not bring it up since Kristin is in a physically and mentally vulnerable state. It does worry him, though.

Kristin is then plagued with worry that she’s brought a curse upon Phil’s bloodline and is putting Tommy in danger by staying, so when he’s about a year old, she seems to disappear without a trace. Phil is obviously distraught by this, but he knows he needs to stay strong for Wilbur and Tommy’s sake. Kristin’s disappearance causes a scandal and brings him intense grief. And as Tommy grows up, his horns grown some more. He uses the red tufts of his hair to hide them. Phil tries to keep Tommy’s secret on the down low, since in this AU a lot of people are driven by superstition or religion.

Lizzie and Joel (this is my personal headcanon leave me alone) are the King and Queen of the longstanding kingdom Elowynne. They’ve had a high influence, and are very respected as monarchs. The Wars family is made up of moth hybrids. Lizzie is a Pink Silk moth and Joel is a Pacific Green Sphinx moth. They have a very healthy relationship with each other, and with the people of Elowynne. At the beginning of this story, they are under their own control.

Honestly? Least complicated family at FIRST.

Punz Hermae Wars is their first born, and he is a spongy moth! He is first in line for the throne, and they have a lot of expectations for the future ahead of him.

Not so far down the line, Lizzie and Joel then have two more children! Fraternal twins, which they name Hannah and Boomer. (Giggling because all the boy sons of this family have fuckass names and then HANNAH <3)

Hannah Rhodon Wars—who I chose to be an Elephant Hawk moth—is the twin that comes first. She’s the only daughter in the family, and she is Lizzie and Joel’s pride and joy. She definitely steps outside of the norms for what a princess is, and her parents allow it. Growing up she harvests some jealousy that Punz is the one that is first in line for throne, but never brings it up as to keep the peace.

The twin that comes second, Boomer Lucus Wars, presents as a Pale Beauty moth. Out of all of the children that Lizzie and Joel have, he is definitely the most chaotic, and often challenged royal norms, which Lizzie and Joel never minded. He’s often found out and about the castle grounds, and had an obsessions for wildlife.

Finally, comes Lizzie and Joel’s last child, Purpled Íkaros Wars. He has the patterns of a Luna Moth. Purpled is easily the quietest and most reserved growing up in the family, but he is still cherished and adored. He is often found doing his own thing on his own accord, and if he isn’t alone, he’s most likely hanging out with his parents. He loves them both equally, but he’s certainly a mama’s boy. And Joel is happy to see his youngest son be close with Lizzie. We love Joel, guys!!

I’m gonna be honest despite how little there is to know about Scutum, they’re still important. Scutum is also latin for shield and yes I picked this name based off a constellation but shhh…

Schlatt Tántalos Score is the oldest son. I don’t know what much there is to say about him besides he’s first in line for throne and is a ram hybrid like Always . never changes! He lowkey has a tragic life but I’ll get into that. I will

Tubbo Perseús Score is the second and final son, and he is a goat (goat and ram brothers is that fine??). During childbirth, Schlatt and Tubbo’s mom passed away, leaving the two without a mother and only a father. And if I said this is lowkey a family curse then what. THEN WHAT. Yeah having a maternal figure would’ve saved them but no. They don’t have one! Tubbo constantly admires other people in his childhood, like knights and common folk. He knows he is privileged, but sometimes wishes he could have a normal life somewhere far away.

Okay I don’t wanna spoil the beginning (but i’m fine with spoiling the entire fucking plot? and the end??) but basically the story starts with a few paragraphs that are not from the beginning. If that’s confusing I am SORRY i don’t know how to explain </3

story opens and It’s pre established that Tommy, Tubbo, and Purpled are childhood friends since they are all of royal status and their kingdoms currently get along, so they hang out frequently, usually at Velaron since it’s in the middle of the two and therefore the closest trips for Tubbo and Purpled. Also not to get too angsty too fast but Tubbo and Schlatt’s dad has recently passed away by this point and since their kingdom’s traditions are different compared to most, Schlatt is now king of Scutum at 14 years old with barely any help. Tubbo doesn’t fully grasp the concept of death since he’s only 10 and hasn’t experienced loss, but he knows that it’s just him and Schlatt now and tbh he’s lowkey pushing down the trauma for now by playing with his friends .

If you don’t fw schlattbur then I’m letting you know now there is schlattbur but like i’m not gonna lie to you and say they make it because they DON’T, they’re doomed but like they’re young and in love for now and putting off the task of having to face reality. Homophobia isn’t normalized/doesn’t exist in this universe but scandals and rumors DO, and it’d be lowkey bad if it were to be found out that Schlatt and Wilbur were more than friends by association.

Lizzie and Joel are typically first to come by to pick up Purpled from hang outs, so by the end it’s usually just Tommy and Tubbo but by this time it’s just Schlatt being the one to pick up Tubbo but he’s busy as FUCK so Tubbo’s there for a while sometimes but even when Schlatt does get there on time he and Wilbur fuck off to go be gay for a bit and like 9 times out of 10 Tommy obliviously walks in on them to ask if he and Tubbo can go visit Techno and Wilbur who is too busy being gay just always tells him yes but to just take one of the knights with them which is typically Sam!

So yeah it’s also established that Tommy and Tubbo visit Techno a LOT just for fun . mf is exiled but they dgaf I fear. All they know is that he’s Phil’s long time friend so they like him. Techno’s kind of an advice giver but he sometimes treats Tommy and Tubbo to be older than they actually are and just casually talks about topics like the fucking war he was in LMFAO..

During the times that Purpled is the one staying later than Tubbo, he and Tommy usually sit outside near the body of water and talk about random things. Purpled can’t swim and has a fear of water, so he sits by the shore while Tommy wades around and yaps about whatever. Punz and Wilbur lowkey have beef but it’s not even for a fucking reason, they just dislike each other. Wilbur ALSO has random beef with Dream from Primara. Teenage boys and their fuckass drama

Timeskip because like I don’t know what to do here I’m still filling in gaps

When Purpled is about 13, Hannah and Boomer are 15, and Punz is 16, Lizzie and Joel FUCKING PASS AWAY . YEAH. SORRY. IDK HOW YET BUT THEY JUST DO

This is Purpled’s first experience with loss, so he’s obviously very distressed when dealing with their deaths, especially his mom’s. He looks in the mirror and can only see her. Shit REALLY hits the fan after their death. Purpled starts writing letters of grief to Tommy because he doesn’t know what to do and he knows Tommy is the one who faces emotions head on more often, so he turns to him for advice.

Punz becomes King of Elowynne, and it’s somewhat of a dark time. He has people that are tasked to help him navigate his duties as a monarch at such a young age, but he frequently tries to do things on his own.

Gonna take a quick turn to look at Primara real quick, because this is an important part to the story. Primara is more of an empire than a monarchy, because this universe dabbles in PUPPET MONARCHY. Foolish is in line for the throne but obviously he’s nervous because this is a huge seat to fill and he doesn’t align with the ideals of a puppet monarchy/emperor role, but he rarely voices his concerns and hesitance.

Zarafeth is ran by Eret, who is like FRESHLY 18 fucking years old. He publicly opposes the empire of Primara, saying that no kingdoms should be under larger ruling. I should also mention that Foolish and Eret have a bit of a secret thing right now but have to keep it under wraps because of shit like that LMAO

Dream, who is way bolder and really dislikes Eret, manages to overthrow Eret so he can put his best friend GEORGE in his place and bring Zarafeth under ruling of the empire/puppet monarchy. Not only does he overthrow Eret, but he plans to have him executed. Foolish is NOT fucking having this so he frees Eret from captivity and then fucking runs away with them, abdicating himself from the throne and causing a huge fucking scandal. And now Dream is left first in line for the throne. Foolish ily but you didn’t think about That consequence did you ..

OKAY back to Elowynne, Dream sees this opportunity and the weakness since Punz is a fresh king and still grieving, so he swoops in and befriends him and attempts to reel him into the puppet monarchy. And you’re wondering hey aureumms how could Punz fall for this?? I’ll tell you why it’s because Dream is a conniving manipulative guy and he’s also a gayass motherfucker SO he forms a secret relationship with Punz and Punz becomes obsessed as fuck I’m not kidding. It’s canon DSMP all over again /j But like in all seriousness, Dream takes the proper amount of time and patience to get Punz wrapped around his finger. Like a year or two.

Boomer is first to find out about this and he is NOT happy and it results in little arguments until there’s a huge one, ending in Boomer disowning himself from the family and running away at the age of 16. Purpled and Hannah are devastated by this but Punz only sees this as weakness. Boomer still visits throughout the story to see Purpled and Hannah, though.

Okay, we’ll take a break for a minute to mention that Elowynne constantly hosts balls! For dancing! If you’re wondering if I did this just for goldenboys moments, the answer is yes I fucking did. The balls are hosted more frequently around this time since Punz is trying to keep up appearances and come across as capable, just as capable as his parents. It’s an act.

Purpled doesn’t like these balls at All so he frequently stays in his bedroom or in other rooms of the castle. Sometimes he’s reading, sometimes he’s playing the piano. At the current time, Elowynne and Velaron are still on good terms since Phil is still keeping the peace and actually trying to give Punz advice with ruling. So, they show up to these events sometimes.

Tommy, knowing Purpled is rather introverted and reserved, sneaks off from the ballroom to go find him. They have a lot of personal conversations during these events, and more often than not, Tommy leads them in a typical ballroom-style dance. Purpled talks about his worried regarding Punz and opens up about the whole Primara thing, and Tommy shares some secrets and worries of his own. One of them being the horns he was sort of “cursed” with. There aren’t any romantic feelings between them in this AU, but they do imagine and talk about the possible life they could have together—In another life, another time.

Around this time, Wilbur and Schlatt’s fuckass situationship falls apart because Wilbur says he needs to focus on a serious relationship, and at one of those balls, meets Sally. She’s from a kingdom much further away from Velaron, but Wilbur believes that he’s in love. They fall out of touch and Schlatt is mad about it.

When Wilbur is about 18 and Tommy’s 14, Philza says “lmfao fuck it” and LITERALLY disappears and tells Wilbur he needs to find Kristin again. So at 18, Wilbur is then pronounced King of Velaron. He doesn’t feel as though he’s ready. Under a lot of stress, he says a lot of things he probably shouldn’t, causing tensions to rise between Velaron and Elowynne + Primara. He doesn’t have any guidance since he is 18 and viewed as fit, so a lot of things go wrong.

As tensions rise and start leaning towards signs of a war for about a Year, Tommy and Purpled are both appointed personal knights at the age of 15. Tommy is appointed Eryn who is his age, and Purpled is appointed Jack, who is 16. Purpled and Tommy continue to visit each other in secret even though they shouldn’t, but they aren’t specifically told to stop seeing each other. Purpled calls Tommy treason. He is called freedom in return.

Wilbur, under stress from the tensions rising, asks Schlatt for an alliance in case a war breaks out. Despite the bitterness of what once was, Schlatt agrees and starts to visit Wilbur in person so they can discuss possible plans and what to do if war does eventually break out.

Tommy and Tubbo still visit Techno, but they haven’t seen him in about a year because of the tensions rising. This time around, somebody else is living with Techno. It’s Ranboo! (that feeling when an ex-warrior stumbles upon an orphan who is 15. that’s his kid now tbh…) While Tommy is venting to Techno about the possible war, Tubbo finds himself talking to Ranboo. It’s a bit hard since Ranboo is a bit introverted and Tubbo makes him nervous, but they strike up an ongoing conversation. Eventually, Tubbo starts making visits alone to talk to Ranboo, as he considers them to be friends. During these visits, Tubbo also talks to Techno about how he wishes he didn’t have the life he currently had. He wanted to be part of the people who fight for a cause, but Schlatt had been keeping him away from info about the war. Also later in the story, Tubbo admits to Schlatt that he is in love with Ranboo and wishes to marry him, but Schlatt refuses because one, this mf is bitter about his failed relationship and is projecting and two, says that Tubbo can’t marry a commoner since it isn’t in tradition. If he is to do that, he would be exiled. Tubbo grows angry about this and the fact Schlatt is keeping him shut out from the war, and visits Techno more and more to vent.

Soon enough, it’s found out that Purpled and Tommy are still visiting each other despite their kingdoms being on the brink of war, and Punz and Wilbur forbid them from speaking to each other or seeing each other again. This doesn’t stop them though, and only makes them more sneaky.

Eventually, Dream convinces Punz to declare war on Elowynne. Hannah and Purpled are against this, but they aren’t in power to have any decision over it. So, Elowynne goes to war with Velaron. Jack and Purpled grow a lot closer during this time, since Purpled is kept indoors as much as possible under Punz’s orders. Purpled considers Jack to be one of his only friends, and treats him as such. When war eventually breaks out and Jack says he’ll no longer take Purpled to see Tommy out of fear for his safety, an argument breaks out and things are said that somewhat burn the bridge of their friendship. Purpled is hurt by this.

Quickly, both kingdoms are quick to fall into a multitude of battles. Not much happens story wise besides more aggression, so I’m just gonna jump to like the big angst moment LMAO..

Since Wilbur and Punz aren’t comfortable keeping their younger brothers at the castles when war is happening, they keep their brothers in their sights during the battles. This means that they are quite literally on opposite sides of the war now.

Eventually Purpled has enough and demands Jack take him on horse to go see Tommy, even when it’s against the rules. They argue about it a little bit, but Jack caves and gets Purpled onto a horse with him since it’s the safest bet to get across the battlefield. They get about halfway until an artillery strikes down and Purpled and Jack are thrown off the horse from the explosion. Both of them are winded and while Jack finds himself unable to move from the shock and impact, he sees Purpled stagger to his feet and continue to run to Tommy. Tommy sees Purpled by this point and starts running down the hill as well, allowing Eryn to come with him to stay safe.

Purpled, not focusing on anything else except Tommy, doesn’t see Sam run up on him. Purpled is then stabbed through the back with a sword, forced down to the ground. He’s quickly immobilized, and since Sam yanks the sword out, Purpled is bleeding out FAST. Fuck Sam we all hate Sam in this AU !

Jack is up off the ground now and is running to Purpled to help him, and while Eryn did attempt to hold Tommy back to keep him from danger, Tommy breaks from his hold and runs to get to Purpled. Tommy still thinks Purpled can be saved even though he’s bleeding out on the ground and can barely see above him, and is desperate to get him help. Without hesitation, he asks Jack to help him carry Purpled up to one of the medical tents so they can get him help.

They’re in rainy weather, and it’s pouring HARD like I’m serious about that. Tommy’s hair is soaked and is flattening against his head, so like. His horns are visible. And he’s carrying the “opponent’s” body. Antfrost, FUUUCKING ANTFROST. Sees Tommy carrying Purpled’s dead body and he sees those horns, and doesn’t wait to aim and shoot Tommy with an arrow.

Jack looks away for a split second so he can try and shift his grip on Purpled’s body as they’re carrying it, and in that time Tommy is shot. Jack has now seen two people die right in front of him, and he doesn’t know what to do.

Remember how I said Technoblade was once a warrior? And how Tubbo had been visiting him as war was on the horizon? Yeah. SO BASICALLY Tubbo is like fuck it and he asks Techno if they can sneak into battle and like obviously he’s told Yes so what does Tubbo do when he sees his best friend get bowed down? This inexperienced 16 year old runs into a battlefield and literally kills Antfrost. Not even fucking playing like I’m deadass this is what is being planned .

Tiny time skip because I need to wrap this up but eventually Purpled and Tommy’s bodies are brought into one of Velaron’s medical tents and are laid down, and a sheet is placed over Purpled. Tommy still has an arrow through him. Wilbur sees Tommy and hurries to him since like HIS BROTHER ISSS FUCKING DYING OBVIOUSLY THE MAN IS DISTRESSED and Tommy is delirious and Begging that Purpled be helped but Wilbur says there isn’t anything they can do for him and that he just needs Tommy to stay awake but like. That ain’t fucking happening I’m sorry.

So, both at 16, Tommy and Purpled are pronounced dead.

Wilbur is like yeah hell No and he tries to communicate with Punz that the war needs to stop because they aren’t getting anywhere and now both of their brothers are dead. Punz, blinded by hatred and literal manipulation, doesn’t want to stop at first because he refuses to surrender. A LONG meeting is had and eventually, after Wilbur drills some words into Punz’s head, the war is abruptly ended.

Tensions are still high even when the war ends. Boomer comes back to find his younger brother has died, and that the funeral plans are barely what Purpled what have wanted. Hannah thinks Punz handled—and is still handling—everything poorly. Jack is distraught by the loss of his friend, and falls into grief.

Philza and Kristin eventually return, and of course, learn their youngest is dead as well. Wilbur doesn’t know how to feel. He wants to be happy that his parents are back but he only feels anger at the fact that Phil abandoned him and basically left him to handle a war on his own. Techno isn’t sure what side to take on the matter, and frankly stays the fuck out of it !

After a lot of arguments and plans, multiple things happen. Purpled and Tommy are eventually buried next to each other on neutral ground, much against Punz’s wishes. He’s like the only fucking one against this btw jesus christ

Jack quits his occupation as a knight. Hannah, one of the only ones still trying to keep things afloat, honorably discharges him from his job and lets him go. Eryn only uses the grief he’s gained as fuel into his work, and eventually becomes a top ranked knight. He knows Tommy would be happy for him.

Boomer, who wants to run away again but is mad on Purpled’s behalf, makes it his fucking Goal to assassinate Dream. He is insistent that if Elowynne never got involved with Primara, then the war wouldn’t have happened, and Purpled wouldn’t be dead.

More “sibling enemies” shit, Hannah dedicates her life to trying to take down Punz as King so she can separate Elowynne from the puppet monarchy and bring peace once more. She never saw Punz fit to rule in the first place.

Wilbur and Sally separate, and Wilbur tries to run back to Schlatt and say they can work things out but Schlatt is like “yeah no it’s no use” so yeah. schlattbur is DEAD but like the gay yearning is still there.

A CHILD IS BORN. Wilbur and Sally broke up but damn Sally was pregnant. And Fundy is fucking born. They acknowledge they can’t force themselves to be together, but Wilbur doesn’t run away from being a dad. He happily takes care of Fundy and swears on his own life that he’s never going to put Fundy through the things he was put through.

Tubbo, listening to Tommy’s past advice of taking control and putting his foot down, tells Schlatt he will be marrying Ranboo, and therefore exiles himself. He moves away into a cottage with Ranboo and they adopt a child, Michael. While the relationship has crumbled between Schlatt and Tubbo, it is implied that it starts to repair itself when Schlatt gets over himself and visits the pair. He doesn’t want to lose the only thing he had left, his brother.

Jack moves away as well, living somewhat far from Elowynne. He and Eryn become closer during this period, and eventually Eryn finds himself practically living with Jack on his time off from work. The pair form something out of grief, but they’re glad they have each other. Jack also adopts Dogchamp, with Hannah’s permission. He still has a hard time letting go of Purpled.

I think that’s all . Obviously there are some parts I missed but it is almost TEN PM and I want this over with. don’t steal this otherwise I will come for you xoxo it will be on sight TRUST.

For the fluff prompts: the first time Tommy falls asleep on Phil instead of Wilbur or Techno and Phil gets to carry his youngest son to bed when he's not passed out from blood loss

Such a cute prompt. XD

I did have to make one change because Phil would not dare enter Tommy and Tubbo's room without permission at this point in the timeline. So... he's getting carried to someone else's bed.

~~~~

Phil had stolen the tablet from Tommy’s fingers 3 videos ago. The teen had complained about this, but Phil had pointed out that he kept dropping it. Tommy had insisted it was because his hands kept falling asleep trying to keep it in a position Phil could watch too, and Phil had agreed even though it wasn’t just his hands that kept falling asleep.

After the last two videos, Tommy had insisted he was still awake when Phil asked, even though Phil would bet he hadn’t seen even a second of either video. He’d also been slowly slipping to the side to the point where even if he opened his eyes, he wouldn’t be able to see the screen.

They’d started shoulder to shoulder. Phil had sat on the old couch they’d dragged into their temporary workspace to rest his back after being bent over buffing a newly stained “Linda” the chair. Tommy had volunteered to clean up the workspace and then had come over, tablet in hand, proclaiming he’d been doing research. Said research was a playlist of YouTube videos on upholstery he wanted to share with Phil.

He’d been energetic enough when he’d sat down, but if Phil had learned anything about Tommy in the past few months, it was that he could go from bouncing off the walls to faceplanted on the floor in minutes. Tommy technically had no bedtime, but it was also past Tommy’s bedtime. Even though he’d been on the nightshift while a hero, his sleep schedule had shifted dramatically now, and he usually started yawning at around 9:30pm. Plus, he’d had a full day. He’d trained with Techno in the morning, had gone to help with the community gardens in the afternoon, and had fucked around in the snow with Wilbur until dinner. Then, they’d come downstairs to work on “Linda.”

First, he’d started leaning against Phil, putting more and more of his weight on Phil’s shoulder. Then, he’d started slipping down until it was Tommy’s head resting against Phil’s shoulder. By the time Phil took the tablet, Tommy was more laying on the couch than sitting. Now, he was curled into a ball on the couch, his head weighing down the arm Phil was using to support the tablet.

“Tommy?” Phil asked. This time there wasn’t even a sleepy hum in response to Phil’s voice. “Are you asleep now?” There was no response, no denial, as there had been every time up until this point. Phil chuckled and clicked off the YouTube playlist before it started playing the next video. “I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.”

Phil set the tablet aside and looked down at the boy cutting of circulation to his hand fondly. This was new. Not completely new, but different enough.

Tommy was a very physically affectionate person. He was known to take naps on top of Wilbur and sometimes Tubbo (when Tubbo allowed this to happen in public spaces). On occasion, he’d fallen asleep next to Techno on the couch while watching him play video games.

And it wasn’t just sleepy, gentle Tommy that liked physical affection. He also liked to play. He and Wilbur fought like cats and dogs constantly, and sometimes he even managed to piss Techno off enough to get playfully tossed around. Only recently had he started messing with Phil in a similar way. It was mostly him instigating snowball fights or stealing shit Phil was in the middle of using. (And, God, was he good at that. The first few times Phil hadn’t even realized that Tommy had snatched something from him. He’d assumed his pen had rolled off the table or he’d gotten distracted and put his spoon in the sink. Now, if he set something down and it was mysteriously gone a moment later, he assumed it was Tommy, and was right 95% of the time.)

Tommy also liked casual things like a hand on his shoulder or having his hair ruffled. Though Phil had learned to choregraph his moves for things like that. It had taken a while for Phil to notice, because Tommy rarely if ever flinched at being surprised, but sometimes his mind went off somewhere else when he was touched without warning. It had taken Phil noticing the pattern of him relaxing into surprise hair ruffles and not relaxing into ones he saw coming to realize there was any tension there at all.

All that to say, Phil hadn’t been surprised when Tommy had sat next to him to show him YouTube videos this evening. He hadn’t even been surprised when the boy had started leaning on him. Actually falling asleep on Phil was new though. He’d always been slightly warier around Phil than the others and had never once gotten even close to drifting off near him.

Well, never except that first time when he’d leaned heavily into Phil and his eyes had started to slip closed against his will. Phil had been confused by how tired the hero had seemed and how quickly he was falling asleep. He’d helped him to lay down only to then see the blood.

This version of Tommy falling asleep on him was much more pleasant. He knew exactly why Tommy was sleepy today, knew exactly what he’d done all day. He knew there was no injury hidden away under his clothes, for even if he’d tried to hide it (as he still sometimes did), Wilbur would have found him out long before dinner. He’d fought against the adrenaline crash and lost slowly not because his body was giving out on him, but because his body was used to a full night’s rest.

Phil was careful when extracting himself from Tommy, and the boy didn’t wake up, though he did frown when he lost his pillow. He made a sleepy sound when Phil picked him up off the couch but seemed content to curl a fist into Phil’s shirt instead of waking up.

Phil had carried Tommy a few times in the past few months. Despite his superstrength, carrying Tommy was usually not an easy task. He was wiggly and distractingly talkative when awake. Sometimes he even used his own powers against Phil, testing his ability to make himself heavier against Phil’s superstrength. Asleep though, he was like carrying a teenager sized pillow.

The trip upstairs was quiet; Tommy didn’t stir at all. Techno and Wilbur were still awake when Phil pushed the secret door open upstairs, but Tommy and Tubbo’s door was closed.

“Is Tubbo asleep?” Phil asked quietly when he stepped into the living room.

“Yeah,” Wilbur said, just as quiet when he noticed what Phil was carrying. “You can put him in mine for now.”

Phil nodded and, even though it wasn’t necessary, Wilbur walked down the hall to open his bedroom door for Phil.

Phil set his load down on the bed carefully. Tommy would probably get up in a few hours to go to the bathroom and then go sleep in his own room. Or he’d decide he wanted to steal Wilbur’s blankets for the entire night. One of the two. Phil pulled Tommy’s hand off of his shirt and gave him one of Wilbur’s pillows in exchange.

He took a moment to watch as Tommy moved, adjusting himself in his sleep so he was curled up on his side much as he had been on the couch downstairs. Phil reached out to gently ruffle the boy’s hair. “Good night,” he said, though Tommy surely didn’t hear him. He flipped off the lights as he left the room.

(He's eepy)

You don't have to respond to this one, but @ your last tags on the found family trope post, I can't say I haven't been curious if anything like that was ever the case. You've been so careful in painting everyone's relationship to be on trust and healthy reliance on one another in times of need, and Techno + Dream definitely have something more intimate and close going on (which I deeply appreciate btw- I couldn't bear it if someone tried to stick itwall!Dream as a brother to Techno, or put him in alongside Wilbur as a son figure to Phil :shudders:), so I'm VERY curious how detailed those thoughts have gotten at any point in time /lh /but genuine

(talking about my semi-cursed tags on this post)

yes i can talk about this all day !! i think the dynamic that doomsday trio brings is fascinating, and i don't blame those who see it as a nuclear family dynamic because i think the comparison does work in some places, but it's more complicated than that. i touched on it (in vaguely poetic terms) in this post, but i can give more detail here.

c!philza is an old man and an experienced father, and his instinct as a guardian is strong. this is the closest we get to a nuclear family format in itwall; phil definitely calls on some of his skills as a father when he helps dream, but it's a bit more complex than that. phil recognizes that dream is an adult in human years and doesn't need to be babied (hell, he doesn't even baby Wilbur, his own son who's around the same age!). dream needs care, he needs a mentor, and he needs a better self-preservation instinct before he kills himself. i think their relationship is closer to ancient grecian mentorship than fatherhood/sonhood, the only difference is that the mentee is on death's door for a while and needs some extra attention. phil sees himself in dream, dream sees phil as someone he might like to be, and there's a level of mutual respect there.

i also think that techno and dream have a sense of brotherhood, but in the same way that two athletic teammates have a brotherhood. they have a long history of trust between them, with room for playfulness and teasing. there's a lack of touch aversion (which is HUGE for dream), and dream initiates more of their touches (as opposed to phil, where he tends to be more submissive) (i'm thinkin about ch 12 & ch 19).

and, of course, techno & phil have a complicated relationship of their own. i'm always annoyed by headcanons that techno is phil's son-- we see plenty of interactions where they mutually worry over each other and care for each other. the will is Not written like a boy talking to his father. these two are lifelong partners, and that letter is written to someone who techno knows will understand him and trusts to carry out the more sentimental, intangible tasks, like talking to niki and ranboo, with very little instruction.

highly oversimplified but this is the idea. Techno and dream have similar relationships with phil but it's not really sonhood. all built on trust. they've proven to each other that they will keep each other safe.

and honestly.. none of those relationships would have to exclude sex or intimacy. equals/partners can have sex. comrades can have sex. mentors/mentees can have sex (i think people feel weird about this one, but again: think Ancient Grecian). i have Quite A Few scenes in my head about how their sexual relationships might work (especially in the early days when dream isn't feeling good...). i guess in light of everyone being more open about shipping i would consider writing them, i'd just keep them here instead of ao3.

i think both phil and techno consider dream to be heartstoppingly lovely. i think dream would love to be loved. i think phil&techno and techno&dream may have had some encounters Before the start of itwall, so it would just be a matter of tying it all together.

(that post was so banger it finally made me register an alt) Honestly, you are so correct about L'Manberg

I remember regularly lurking around mcytblr and reading analysis and I think I only saw coherent L'Manberg nationalism analysis from, like, Xephyr and a c!Dream blogger/fan. Which is crazy in retrospect, because the ease with which most of the fandom leaned into fictional country hardcore patriotism was/is kinda insane

And the ensuing anti Doomsday stance -- like we all know that terrorism is bad and shit, but absolute refusal to acknowledge that maybe Doomsday trio and co were not punished by the narrative for having done that was because they were right was. sure something!

omg that's very flattering thank you :D

By Xephyr I assume you mean @considermygenderminecrafted ? Because yes, xe has some of the best L'Manburg critique out there, as well as some of the best c!Wilbur critique, everybody should absolutely check it out immediately (altho frustratingly, I just tried to find some of their posts as an example but Tumblr's search function is still absolute garbage (Xeph, do you have some of your great posts at hand and if so, can you just link some of them in the reblogs or something?))

And yes. There are valid criticisms that can be made of the Doomsday Trio's tactics (which even Techno himself sort of acknowledged later), but at the end of the day, they were on the right side of history

(Well Dream's character less so, but I can't even be bothered to try to analyse him at this point because none of his plans make sense to me)

Also nobody ever seems to acknowledge that Doomsday Trio were acting in self-defence, since L'Manburg had already gone after both Techno and Phil, and was at the time trying to kill Dream as well, although he kinda beat them to the punch (possibly because he already knew they were planning to kill him? idk, I'm not sure if that was ever confirmed or not)

But yeah, the argument about them needing to be punished by the narrative was always absurd to me, and it just betrays the fandom's belief that L'Manburg was supposed to be objectively good, despite all the evidence that it very much was not, not even to its own citizens! And possibly also the unquestioned assumption of "state good, anarchy bad"

Meanwhile the actual narrative repeatedly shows that L'Manburg always ends up becoming toxic, corrupt and ultimately oppressive, even under the Good President, while on the other hand the anarchist commune eventually turns into a sanctuary for all sorts of people who need a safe place to stay (even arguably the aforementioned former Good President when he needs somewhere to hide his son from kidnappers)

And yeah, this is why I did get pretty heated about some of the debates at the time, and I kinda still do, because in the process of assuming that L'Manburg was always the good guys, they ended up repeatedly justifying just absolutely horrific state violence as well as excusing early L'Manburg's xenophobia (as comedic as it initially was), which unfortunately mirrors a lot of real world authoritarianism and xenophobia

To be fair a lot of this was probably also protagonist-centric morality, since most of these people also saw the L'Manburg side as the main characters, but then again what is nationalism if not a form of protagonist-centric morality where you see your own country as the protagonist of the world lol

I might actually need to make a proper post now since multiple people have shown interest, unfortunately I'm also very lazy and kinda made my main points in that low effort post already

Which would mean that it would actually have to be a high effort post to justify its existence

Undercover Care

as a young, broke senior in high school, you take up a babysitting gig, not knowing you’d be babysitting a mafia bosses sons.

You sighed quietly, looking over the job listings on the website one more time. Most of the jobs wanted people with experience, something you didn’t have, so finding a job was…a little difficult to say the least.

You wanted something simple too, just something to get you off your feet, not some crazy over the top job that drained you more often than not. You ran a hand through your hair, jumping slightly when you got a notification about a new job being posted. You hover your mouse over the listing before clicking.

The notification took a second to load but once it did you started reading. A babysitting gig. You hummed, looking over the details. 3 kids, ages 21, 22, and 16, access to food while working, $8,000 a week, bedroom if need- $8,000 a week!? You blinked, rubbing your eyes to see if they were playing a trick on you. Nope. $8,000 a week. What kind of rich fucker was this guy? $8,000? For three kids? Scratch that, two of them weren’t even kids anymore, and they still needed to be watched?

You looked over the details one more time. “I mean…it’s not a bad option…” you mumbled to yourself, clicking on the contact number. You copied it down into your phone, dialing and calling as soon as you did. You took a deep breath, listening as your phone rang. Tragically, you couldn’t help but hope the guy wouldn’t pick up. Awful, you know. But you were a nervous wreck. You were only 19, so what if he didn’t hire you? What if he wanted someone with experience? Or someone older? What if-

you were cut off by the sound of the phone being picked up. “Hello? Who is this?” The man on the other side asked. “Um, hi. My names Y/n and I was um…looking at the babysitting position?” You winced slightly at how awkward you sounded, although it probably sounded worse over the phone. “Ah yes! I didn’t expect someone to respond so quickly!” The man said cheerfully. “My names Philza Minecraft. It’s lovely to meet you, mate.” He said. You smiled, at least he was a nice guy. “Uh yeah. Nice to meet you too.” You said, feeling a bit less awkward.

“Now, my boys can be…how do I put this…rough. They don’t really like new people, so you will have to win them over. If they don’t see you fit within a month, sadly I would have to let you go.” The man, Philza, explained. You nodded before remembering he couldn’t see you, so you just let out a hum. “First question, how well do you deal with high stress situations?” The question caught you slightly off guard. “I’d say I’m pretty good?” You said, shrugging to yourself. “And what about cooking? Can you cook well?”

You thought to yourself for a second. “Yeah I’m a pretty good cook.” You and your mom used to spend two nights a week learning a new recipe together, you even still have her old cookbook that she gave you before the divorce. “Wonderful! Now, how old are you?” He asked, making you panic slightly. “I-I’m 19, sir.” You said nervously, biting your lip. “Perfect! You’re hired.” Your jaw dropped slightly. That easy? “O-okay. When should I come in?” You asked, getting over the shock quickly. “Come in tomorrow at 9. I’ll have a schedule for you by then. I’ll text you the address.”

You smiled to yourself. “Thank you so much sir.” “Please, call me Phil, mate.” He said, his tone cheerful. “Before you go, what are your boys’ names?” You asked curiously. “Ah, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy.” He told you. You smiled. “Alright. I can’t wait to meet them tomorrow.” You said happily. “Well it was nice talking to you, but I have got to go to a meeting soon.” He said, the sound of rustling on the other side of the phone. “I understand. Have a good day Phil.” You said, pulling the phone away from your ear as you hung up.

You say there for a second, processing the fact that you, a 19 year old, now had a job. A really, really good paying job. You cheered to yourself, standing up from the chair quickly. “Hell yeah! I’m employed!” You said happily, spinning around a little bit. It took you about 5 minutes to calm down, but excitement was still running through your veins. You had a job now! You smiled to yourself, going to the kitchen to make food before you started getting ready for bed. You made something simple, just some chicken tenders and sweet ‘n sour sauce. You sat down on the couch, placing your plate on your lap and you grabbed the remote, flipping to a random cartoon channel. You ate in peace, going through all the possible outfits you could wear tomorrow.

You say there for a bit, almost just snacking on your now somewhat cold food. Once you finished, you turned the tv off, going to the kitchen to wash your plate before going to bed. You hummed to yourself as you cleaned, still going through all your possible outfits you wanted to look professional but also not too professional, you were only 19 after all. You set the plate on the drying rack and dried your hands, jogging slightly as you went to your room. You quickly changed before going to the bathroom to brush your teeth, looking yourself over in the mirror. After getting fully ready you finally got in bed, the buzz under your skin finally going away. You fell asleep peacefully, excited for tomorrow.

(This is going to be a series! I’ve had the idea in my mind for a while so I thought it would be nice to write it out!)

[bonesandthebees]

Two more things before I start chipping away at my long analysis because they’ve been rotating in my head.

1. I am not getting over the implication (well it’s rather explicit) that Phil and Techno have killed multiple people (and taken turns doing it). Combined with Phil being familiar with being threatened… I kinda want a prequel of these two murder plotting their way to the top. I’m so glad we get a Phil pov. I love the besties. No hesitation, yeah you can murder that man I’ll be on lookout. You go get revenge.

And Wilbur killing is necessary because it’s the best excuse to break his moral ‘code’. He wants revenge, he feels threatened and wants to protect Tommy (and Niki and Quackity too in a way). His has a noble reason + his personal anger. This is the easiest it’s ever going to get to convince him to murder someone. And Phil has experience with this so he knows it’s something Wilbur will have to do if he wants to maintain his power. From a game standpoint it’s a good choice. From a father standpoint it’s an understandable choice but girl it’s not healthy.

2. From the moment Wilbur was in that ballroom with Niki on 1 side and Tommy on the other I knew what was going to happen AND I HATE IT /aff. If I wasn’t home alone I would have been screaming at him to choose Niki! He literally provides himself with every argument (including reasons why not picking Niki is dangerous when thinking about Tommy aka you cannot be sold out if the only people who know are also guilty, in which case he would be safe should Niki find out and should they drift apart (which he has no vision of the future, so he’s not worried about that, BUT I AM))

it’s so beautiful and good and frustrating and tragic at the same time. This is the point where he chooses Tommy over Niki. His alliance is made even if it isn’t really. His mental alliance has been made. And his chance to keep Niki is slipping. And yes I am actually upset about him going to Tommy and forcing him into this. That poor kid has enough trauma. He’s 13 and he helped murder someone (for his own safety) when he did not need to be (much like Wilbur actually). (Also he’s loyal like a dog geeez).

Anyway, I will repeat all of this in my big batches. But who knows when I get around to writing those with all the work stuff. So enjoy my brain worms. (I am Looking 👀 at the answer to my last ask).

phil and techno certainly pulled a lot of... things off while they were both climbing their way up the ranks. I just love the absolute trust and understanding those two have with each other. one goes and murders a man while the other stands lookout, no questions asked. they've done this before and it's like a well-oiled machine at this point. murder besties <3

exactly, this is going to be the best introduction wilbur could ever get to pulling off something like this. he has a very strong reason for wanting schlatt dead, both with his own need for revenge and the future threat schlatt poses if he sticks around. phil can see this as the opportunity it is and knows that wilbur is going to have to pull something like this eventually, so he's doing the helpful parental guidance thing. with political murder. totally normal and healthy bonding activities with your 19 year old son.

once again, I'm thinking about the tragedy of rose!wilbur and rose!niki. there was no reason for wilbur not to go to niki. he had every reason not to go to tommy. but he was never going to choose niki. not after l'mannes. not after what he and tommy went through.

also just want to point out that there's actually zero evidence that wilbur had anything to do with schlatt's death. even an eyewitness account claiming that they say him putting something in schlatt's drink would have to be backed up by someone finding the vial in his cloak, but he smashed it to pieces the moment he got back to his room like phil told him to. there's no written correspondence about the plan because wilbur, phil, and techno only ever discussed it in person. and while an eyewitness accusation might be enough to get some people convicted, when you're accusing the son of the consil himself it's not. so unless some other evidence magically appears he'll get away with it scot free

yes you understand exactly what the point of that scene was. the entire scene was designed to show wilbur finally being forced to choose between tommy and niki. even if he hasn't admitted it to himself yet, he's now tied himself to tommy. and of course it wasn't fair to tommy whatsoever. wilbur had the option to go to someone else, wilbur had the option to not do anything at all and let phil handle it because phil told him he had alternative plans, but wilbur didn't want to do that. so he dragged the 13 year old into his murder plot and now tommy will have that on his conscience for the rest of his life. it's not fair to him whatsoever.

[koreanbibliophilegirl]

Do you perhaps want to info dump about your DSMP superpower AU?

Totally not asking to procrastinate on literally writing my own. Nah. I don’t even know what procrastination is.

SKLFDJSJHDJFLH INFODUMPING ABOUT MY AU? ALWAYS. I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

Okay so! Where should I start? *rubs hands like that one evil toddler cousin on Christmas*

The background setting!

So the fic already has a name, but I'm keeping it AND the MC secret as a lil surprise for when the fic is eventually published. All I will say about it is, it's not Tommy. *gasp*

Tommy does appear though, so I'll start there to avoid detection I think.

He works at the bakery(yes, it's owned by Niki Nihachu), which is right around the corner from the hero headquarters. So heroes are always stopping by for baked goods, especially since Niki's girlfriend, Puffy, has a son who's one of the top heroes, and he told all his friends about how good the bakery is.

And, of course, true to all the clichés, Tommy and his two roommates work as vigilantes. They don't work only at night, though. They work at lunchtime as well, since they all get an hour of lunch break & a lot of villains are out and about around that time. Counterintuitive, but then again, there are a lot of people in the streets to nab as hostages, and some villains actively seek out heroes to fight anyway. Like Redrum, known as the sharp-clawed, since he's apparently a catshifter (or general shapeshifter, who knows) who goes around stabbing heroes.

Tubbo works at the mechanics, his boss is retired hero/hero trainer Sam Dude(known as Warden during his time)! Sam retired among controversy though, because of issues surrounding the Hero HQ's former resident healer/ex-licensed hero, Lemon Balm. Tubbo couldn't care less though, Sam's nice and lets him take spare parts home for inventing(read: making vigilante gadgets).

Ranboo helps out at the local library, with Technoblade(last name unknown) as his boss! They're also the first out of the vigilante team Bench Trio to find out that Techno is the Blood God, one of the most popular vigilantes currently active, and one half of the elusive Emerald Duo.

Phil runs a bird shelter, and when he's out as the Angel of Death, he sometimes lets the crows from the shelter follow him around!

Kristin is a hero-turned-vigilante, formerly Miss Trixtin, currently the Goddess of Death. She's a bit busy with her day job atm though so she's taking a bit of a break from her vigilante job.

Wilbur is their son who left home after an argument about vigilantism not helping reform the corrupt hero system. He's a villain called Silver Tongue now. He keeps stealing important stuff from the Hero HQ with Fundy. He gets pretty close with Tommy after regularly visiting his (adoptive) son's workplace :D

Bench Trio's vigilante names are Aerie(Tommy- telekinesis + singing to plants to make them grow), Bee Bomb(Tubbo- honey colored explosive energy balls & metal manipulation), and Endgame(Ranboo- teleportation & compression, plus they can bite through anything)!

(Double powers are uncommon but not too rare, triple powers are EXTREMELY rare.)

Tommy's bakery coworkers are Fundy Soot(villain- helps his adoptive father, Wilbur, on his little outings. Ability to go unnoticed by everyone and anyone. It works on technology as well. He's also a general shapeshifter in theory, but he can't transform into animals bigger than a fox.), Badboy Halo(civillian- he can make red vines grow out of the ground! This saved Skeppy's butt once, cuz they used to live in the same neighborhood & went to the same schools, and one time Skeppy fell off the flagpole of the middle school. Bad's vines caught him midair.), and later on Ant Frost(🤫).

Niki herself is actually a former hero who resigned, she got too much hate about her power(copying others' powers for a short while). Puffy, who was her partner, retired a few years later, since she'd decided to adopt the orphan boy who had applied for the hero training program, and she'd need more money than she was making as a hero who had lost most of her popularity. She became a therapist, and fully supported her new son Foolish throughout his hero training!

Puffy and Niki never really talked about their relationship, but since Puffy's power is reading minds & emotions, and Niki can copy her power, they didn't have to. One day they just started telling people they were taken, and that was that.

Foolish is a popular hero who can call up storms & has the additional power of building anything in the blink of an eye! His partner(both work AND romantic) is Eret, who can control people's actions if they catch sight of her glowing white eyes. Their hero names are the Golden Shark and Monarch respectively.

Tina is also a hero, she graduated the hero training program with Foolish, but her powers(always landing on her feet when she falls, enhanced senses including night vision, and stealth) coincide too much with the top hero, Dream(can't get hurt from falling, slowing down time to give himself time to think, some enhanced agility), and she didn't get very popular. This will soon change though, Tina is the GOAT and everyone will know it.

Speaking of Tina, Hannah Rose the retired hero! She runs a flower shop! She retired after one of her wings was ripped during a fight, the physical therapy took a while and her popularity dropped like a stone. She realized how unfair the hero system was to unpopular heroes and decided to retire. Her wings still haven't recovered, her flight balance is too off for her to even consider flying more than a few feet off the ground, and more than a few seconds.

Las Nevadas! Quackity! He's one of the rare triple powered people! Golden duck wings, can manipulate card-shaped objects(a form of telekinesis), and has the ability to control odds(only if he's aware of all the variables though. It won't work very well if there are unknown factors).

Charlie! May be an elder god, may be the devil, who knows! He can turn into green slime, create green slime(with various properties), and additionally, knows everything about everyone. Nobody actually knows if this is a power or not, but it's certainly terrifying paired with his cheerful, optimistic personality.

Purpled! His skin is basically invincible, fireproof, acidproof, poisonproof, you name it. He also has perfect aim, which is very handy since he's an assassin. His sibling Punz is also an assassin, but they has flight trajectory manipulation and his eyes can zoom in on anything.

Skeppy. He's not part of the mafia, but he might as well be becuase he's literally always there. Nobody knows how he does it. But. He. Is. Always. There. He can summon diamonds though so nobody's complaining😊 lol

(But seriously, he's also fun to hang out with and plan pranks with. The mafia world is full of people who want something from you/have ulterior motives, and it's nice to hang out with someone who doesn't want anything from you other than keeping him company and talking with him.)

Sam, Foolish and Punz are friends! Sam suspects Punz is mafia but keeps quiet about it(he isn't about to make the same mistake as last time), Foolish is oblivious. Punz loves his homies, but is stressed bc Foolish has a v strict moral code and would not be happy if he finds out Punz is mafia.

Uhhh who have I not talked about, KARLNAP. Sapnap was a vigilante(he failed the training program interview) who quickly got recruited by the heroes, Karl was the same but a while later! Sapnap got patrols with Dream and GeorgeNotFound(all three go by their actual names as heroes, though Sapnap's vigilante name was Flame) and immediately gained a huge following(besides his fans from his vigilante days), but Karl(a.k.a. Timekeeper) wasn't that well-known even as a vigilante. He didn't give up though, and trained extremely hard every day. Then one day Sapnap saw him in the training area and got an instant crush. They talked, Sapnap began asking to be paired with Karl for duo patrols, they started dating, and now they're both famous & known as the ultimate power couple :3

Hmm, it feels kinda anticlimactic to end like this, so have a codename compilation!

Tommy- Aerie(place to rest suspended in the air. Tommy can float things in the air so I thought the name fit.)

Tubbo- Bee Bomb(Bee Bombs are wildflower seed balls that you leave out in the garden/in pots to grow wildflowers. I thought Tubbo would like the name, since his energy balls are supposed to smell sweet like wildflower honey.)

Ranboo- Endgame(They're so overpowered with their teleportation and compression that Tommy and Tubbo insisted his appearance alone would signal the beginning of the endgame. Nicknamed Ender.)

Technoblade- the Blood God(obviously.)

Philza- the Angel of Death(also obviously.)

Wilbur- Silver Tongue(for his silver tongue.)

Fundy- either Nonexistent or Ghost, haven't really decided yet

Kristin- (formerly) Miss Trixtin, (currently) the Goddess of Death

Foolish- the Golden Shark

Tina- Carrot Cat

Eret- Monarch

Niki- (formerly) Copycat

Puffy- (formerly) Captain Puffy

Karl- Timekeeper

(Mafia Codename explanation here)

Quackity- Rey Club, King of Clubs

Purpled- Tyrian Spade

Punz- Lapis Lazuli Spade, Ace of Spades

Hannah- (formerly) Faerie, (currently) Bitterbriar Diamond

Skeppy- Adamant Heart(since he's always there anyway, they just gave him a codename.)

Charlie- Dresden Diamond, Jack of Diamonds

Ponk- Lemon Balm/Sorrento Heart(they still go by Lemon Balm as a vigilante)

Ant- Redrum

Eryn- Demon

Aimsey- Daisy(star and Eryn are villains who want to reform society as a whole by blowing up buildings. Only when they're empty tho cuz Aimsey doesn't want to kill ppl)

Velvet: Red Flag

Welp, that's all for now! If there's anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to ask further! I really enjoyed answering this, thank you so much for the ask! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[error-dream-was-found]

What is the Mumza adopts Dream AU? When does this adoption happen?

Glad you asked!

What this idea is? It's exactly what it sounds like -Kristin decides to adopt Dream. When? Prison arc!

So basically, as the result of torture Dream very often finds himself in front of the death's door ... literally. He is half death/death most of the time. Slow bleeding out before Sam arrives to fix him a little, countless non-cannon deaths, either results of Quackity's recklessness or throwing himself in lava. Kristin has a plenty of time to get to know him and grows fond of him. He doesn't have many visitors so someone to talk with is nice. But the human seems to be worse for wear with every next visit and not just in terms of physical injuries that killed him. His mental state is also going downhill.

And at one point Kristen had enough. She's not letting the kid suffer any longer! (is Dream a man in his twenties? Yes. Does that stop a few thousands years old goddess from seeing him like a kid? No.) Her husband takes in strays all the time, it's her turn now!

It's no struggle for her to get him out of prison and to arctic. Dream for his part is very confused about what just happened, even more so when Kristin starts to argue with Phil who wasn't very happy with his wife's idea. Unsurprisingly she won so now Dream's their kid!

You can imagine how Tommy and Wilbur (revived at this point) reacted ....

Snippet:

Kristin watched with sad eyes as Dream rocked himself on the floor, trying and failing to stop the tears streaming down his face. It's been a while since he died but so far he didn't managed to calm down. It broke the goddess' heart a little to see him like this. By human standards Dream was an adult but he felt so young to her, he was just 20 something. Compared to her eternal existence it was nothing. Curled like this, covered in wounds he looked even younger. He looked like a kid and Kristen was immediately remind of her 4 boys.

"Oh, dear ..."

She tried to reach for him, to offer comfort and take the pain away, he flinched from her touch and it hurt more than it should. She was the death, mortals flinched away from her, it was in their nature. But this one was different, he didn't fear her. Right now it seemed like he feared everyone and looking at the hideous wounds lining his body Kristin couldn't blame him. Somehow each one of his deaths seemed to be more horrific than the previous one.

"Dream, darling? I'm just trying to help you."

The blonde shook his head silently.

"It hurts. I-I don't deserve this ... I don't deserve ... I just want it to stop hurting ..."

Her poor boy, just how much pain did they put him through? She wished she could grant his wish and stop the pain. She could keep him with her, in her realm but she thought better of it. This human had a lot of life in front of him. It wasn't his time yet so how .... Suddenly she remembered her sons. Wilbur was her's and Phil's, but Techno, Tommy and Tubbo joined their family later, in different ways. Phil found them and took them in. He helped them heal, offered them a home and family. The things Dream so desperately needed. The thing Kristin might be able to provide him. If Phil could bring in any random kid what was stopping her?

Closing the distance between them she carefully warped the human in a hug, the same thing she did for her sons whenever she was able to visit the mortal realm. Dream went rigid at first but then he melted into the gentle embrace. Running her fingers through the matted blonde hair Kristin smiled a little.

"Then how about I'll make it stop hurting?

[dorylinae-supremacy]

Parentsduo upon ye!

Tags: Dark SBI, Zombie Apocalypse AU, Dark Phil, Dark Kristin, Dark Techno, Dark Wilbur, Mentioned cannibalism (not in detail), Fighting, Guns, Violence, Kristin and Phil are deeply insane, Partially Immune Twinsduo, they get forced to eat human and have some zombie instincts, ~800 words, you get the vibes as you read

Au where Phil is crazy and his kid (Wilbur) is partially infected so he has to get survivor meat for him. 

He ends up finding another survivor, Kristin, who mentions having a son too but that he’s ill and she’s on a supply run for him.

Phil feeling bad but not stopping his plan and rationalising it that if he doesn’t feed Wil then he’ll be as dead as her son so it’s equal in an awful way.

Him saying he can bring her back to his camp (easier than dragging her body) and she follows happily.

But when he says she can take whatever she wants from a backpack and readies his gun to kill her, she apologises and twists around with a gun to shoot him too.

Them both staring at each other for a bit (and him feeling pettily betrayed) and calling her a bandit. Her being just as mad and saying it’s not her fault that her son has to eat and this is the only way she can do it.

Kristin accusing him of not even having a son and Phil says “fuck it” and kinda traumadumps about how he’s half infected and needs to eat human.

Her being shocked and asking very seriously if he's lying and him scoffing and asking why he’d even bother because saying he’s a bandit would be easier. 

Him asking why she even thinks that and her explaining that her son is the same and that she was gonna kill him for food. Phil being shocked but apologising before raising the gun back up because he’s not about to let his son starve so hers can live.

Her grinning sharply and saying he’s outnumbered because he’s been trailing them the whole time, maybe calling out all sweet to techno and saying he can come out now. 

Phil twisting around and seeing Tech stumble out from the bushes ready to fucking maul him.

Kristin apologising all sweet and saying that she’ll put Wil out of his misery if she finds him so he won’t have to starve. Phil twisting to shoot her but Wil bursting out their tent and attacking her.

There’s a whole fight where Techno goes for Wil and then Phil drags him off so there's a fight between them while Kristin fights Wilbur.

They’re both getting injured with scratches but neither wanna shoot in case of actually getting their kid in the crossfire so it's just a horrible situation to be in for both of them.

But then there’s another survivor bursting in and asking what the fuck is happening. Everyone stopping while they go on a lecture about how they’re injured and how everyone should stop fighting and band together.

They’re cut off by both Techno and Wilbur banding together to maul the shit out of them because they’re far easier prey than either of their current fights.

Kristin and Phil both being injured and just watching unsure of themselves because the boys are sharing now dead survivor just fine.

Kristin says that this is all she wanted, a meal for her son and (if Phil is willing to follow along) she’s willing to let him and Wilbur walk away alive once the meal is over.

But here’s the thing, they're both more injured than they’re letting on and being alone again will only be more dangerous and they both know this.

So Phil makes an alternative offer. He will let Kristin and Wil stay at his camp if, and only if, they agree to not attack or harm either him or Techno.

Him and Kristin can team up on survivors to make up for their individual injuries and if anything happens, the other promises to take care of the child left by the other person.

Kristin thinks for a moment and maybe looks over at Techno, her shy boy now tentatively eyeing Wilbur and offering him a chunk of meat in exchange for the heart, and agrees to Phils terms.

And then obviously its a long road of enemies to friends to lovers between Kristin and Phil (starting off somewhere south of ‘divorced’ without ever being married) and fucked up cannibal / zombie bonding between twinsduo.

There are just so many opportunities here for bonding and showing off the moral bankruptcy (paired with moral righteousness) coming from Phil and Kristin. 

Their motivations are literally the same and they're both just different sides of the same coin but they refuse to see that because if they aren't the exception then that removes the flimsy excuses they've made to justify their actions!! I love them deeply.

This would be like an entire series from different povs obviously showing their bonding and I don’t have that planned yet but I really really like this AU so you’ll probably see more of my parentsduo propaganda because of that lmao.

Oh besties I’m in the kitchen again

I’m cooking

One More Step Out of the Pit: Chapter 2/26

Summary: It had been Tommy and Tubbo for practically forever. They clawed their way out of hell together. They discovered their superpowers together. They started working for the Superhero Guild together before even coming of age. Tommy probably owed Tubbo his life ten times over. So, when the three supervillains he'd been assigned to bring in managed to take Tubbo hostage, well, there was really only one thing to do.

He knew, of course, he was signing himself up for torture and death by offering that trade, but that was okay.

It'd have to be okay.

AO3 Link (See AO3 for Warnings.)

(This story is finished and has been posted on AO3 for a while, but I'm posting it on Tumblr so it's somewhere else too (considering the day AO3 was down a bit ago). The author notes will all be kept as well. If you are following the blog and don't want to see these posts, block the tag #backlog.)

Author Note: Here's a bit more status quo before getting into the action.

This house was a nightmare, Phil thought for very much not the first time.

 “Phil, please make him stop,” Techno pleaded through a mouthful of pancake. It was about 7am in his household and things were progressing in an unfortunately normal manner.

“Will, stop,” Phil ordered.

Wilbur did not stop. He continued to strum his guitar while spewing out sing-song words that inhumanly echoed against Phil’s skull. “Is it annoy-oy-oying?”

“Yes,” Techno groaned, and it was. It was the most annoying thing in the world the way his voice skittered and crawled up and down Phil’s back, like he was being poked with icy cold fingers repeatedly. It was painless, but Phil still wanted to slam his own head into the wall. Or, better yet, Will’s.

“Can we not have one breakfast without light torture?” he asked his son.

“No, Phil,” he continued to sing, and invoking Phil’s name made the annoying sensation of his voice dig deeper into his skin. “I need to practice, and you are a captive audience because you love me.” Unfortunately, this was fact.

“Shut up, shut up,” Phil begged. “Put the pancakes in your mouth and shut up.” He slammed down the last platter of pancakes he’d been making and put two on the boy’s plate. Wilbur ignored this, continuing to make the low-pitched warbling sound as he stummed on his guitar.

“I’m going to kill him,” Techno said. “I don’t even care anymore. I’m 98% sure it wouldn’t be permanent, but it would be so satisfying.”

Phil knew that was a lie, of course, (though he wondered when he’d gotten numb to those sort of jokes) and so did Wilbur. “Technoblade will not kill me because he is far too soft,” Wilbur sang even louder.

“Wilbur seriously,” Techno snapped, wincing at the increased volume. “I have a headache.”

Wilbur’s mouth snapped shut immediately and Phil let out a sigh of relief. The fingers on the guitar paused, letting the last strummed chord fade. Phil watched as those fingers shifted and rearranged themselves to strum a different chord. “This is Technoblade’s headache song,” he sang along with the new tune. “This is Technoblade’s headache song. Techno has a headache, so we’ll sing it all night long. Oh, we’ll sing it all night long.”

The tension that had been lining Techno’s shoulders all morning slowly leaked out of him. “How are you both the worst and best person in the universe?” Techno asked as Will repeated the chorus again. He let his head sink down onto the table and Phil had to act fast to keep his not yet braided hair from falling into the syrup. “You’re a lyricist. You’d think you could come up with something less stupid for it,” he grumbled. Phil patted his head with a soft laugh.

Wilbur just smiled through his song without pausing the “verse” of ‘ba da da da’s that came faster with a slightly different tune from the lyrics. It was a familiar song in their home, its origins from the first week they all lived together, though the tune had changed slightly as Will perfected it over the years.

The pattern repeated: two run throughs of the chorus and a string of ‘ba’s and ‘da’s’ three more times before Will paused. “Better?” he asked, just a touch smug.

“Yeah,” Techno grumbled reluctantly. He peeled his face off the table and grabbed his fork to stab another piece of his pancake.

“Good,” Phil said, rubbing his back. He turned to Wilbur. “Now shut up and eat your god dammed food before it gets colder than it already is.”

Wilbur grinned at him. “Don’t you want a song, Phil?”

“Shut it,” Phil said, pointing a warning finger at him. “Shut.”

“But…”

“Shut.”

Will rolled his eyes and finally, blessedly began to butter his pancakes in preparation for eating them.

“We should just lock him in his room for the first hour he’s awake,” Techno said. “Morning Wilbur is annoying.”

“I can give you back that headache, Techno.” Wilbur said, as he drenched his pancakes in syrup. There was no tune of a threat to his words though.

“I can give you a sword through your…”

“Boys,” Phil warned and even though they were rightfully far too old to have to listen to him, they both simmered down.

Phil was finally able to eat his breakfast in relative peace after that, though Will did absentmindedly hum as he ate. It was a light, calming sound though, so Phil didn’t mind.

“I want some tea,” Techno said as he picked up his and Phil’s plate. Will was still finishing off his bacon, using it to scoop up the last remains of his syrup puddle. “Anyone want tea?”

“With honey?” Will said, puppy dog eyes fully engaged.

Technoblade rolled his eyes and didn’t answer which Phil and Wilbur took to be a yes. “Phil?”

“Yeah, thanks Tech.”

Techno nodded and stole Wilbur’s plate out from under him. “I wasn’t done with that,” Will said with a frown.

“I’m not watching you lick syrup off your plate like a dog again.”

Wilbur huffed but didn’t argue any further.

“How was your night, Will?” Phil asked.

Wilbur turned to him, straightening a bit at the clear indication that they were switching over from breakfast time (where shop talk was disallowed) to business time. He shrugged in response to Phil’s question. “Was alright,” he answered. “Talked to Schlatt. Did some recon. Watched Techie sleep for a bit.”

“Yeah, would you quit that?” Technoblade said from over by the sink. “It’s creepy. Your eyes glow in the dark.”

“You snore,” Wiblur informed him cheerfully. “The Chicken was out and about at about 1am which is weird. Pretty sure he’s a second shift hero.”

Phil’s interest was immediately piqued at the mention of the superhero. The Red Glider (though Phil did think calling him ‘The Chicken’ was rather hilarious) was quickly moving from nuisance to legitimate opponent in Phil’s mind despite the fact that his power was a discount version of Phil’s own. He’d managed to get in their way constantly the past few months and somehow none of them had managed to land a hit on him. Just yesterday he’d managed to prevent them from stealing a rare suppression orb and then fucked off down a trash shoot of all things when Phil had thought he’d had him cornered. “Find out anything interesting?” he asked Will.

Wilbur closed his eyes in thought. “No,” he said after a moment. “I, uh,” a blush creeped up his neck. “Got distracted I think.”

“That’s alright, Will,” Phil said.

“No, it’s not,” Wilbur grumbled. “It would be a great way to get intel on the horrible little monster if he’d work with me. God, I so badly want to wring that little hero’s neck like the chicken he is.”

“He’s not that bad,” Techno said, setting down three mugs of tea.

“Your standards are low,” Wilbur replied. “He’s an annoying bastard, and he will die by my hand. Did you see what he did to my nose?!” He pointed at said nose and the blooming bruise there.

“To be fair, he was just doing his job,” Phil pointed out. Without even saying anything, he reached out to Techno who turned obediently to give access to his hair. He’d already brushed it out before breakfast and offered Phil one of the hairbands on his wrist.

“Would you have kicked my nose in during your hero days?” Wilbur questioned.

“Assuming you weren’t my kid?” Phil asked, making sure he’d gathered up all the loose pink strands of hair before starting to braid. “I would have beaten your ass Will.”

Wilbur pouted at him, though it clearly was mostly for show and Phil laughed.

“He did beat my ass,” Techno contributed. “He was fucking terrifying.” There was a softness to it like it was a good memory, but part of Phil still recoiled at the reminder of those times and he decided to change the subject.

“Speaking of the Red Glider,” he said. “We don’t have many more chances at a suppression orb. We need to come up with a plan to get around the hero agency if we’re actually going to get into the Netherrealm. The next easiest one to get that I know of is in The Vault. We’ll need fire resistance potions, though since it’s in the center of a pool of lava.”

“Any way this plan can avoid running into Mr. Cluck?” Wilbur asked.

“That’s a pretty good idea, actually,” Phil said. “You mentioned it was weird for him to be out at 1am. Do you know when he usually gets off?”

Wilbur contemplated the question, staring into his tea. “‘Bout 10,” he said after a moment.

Phil hummed. “He probably works, what? Noon to 10 then? If we strike in the mornings, we might avoid him. Maybe we’ll have better luck. We can go try to steal some fire res from the Blaze Lab today.” He finished off the braid and secured it before pulling away.

“If we can get Wilbur out of the bathroom before noon,” Techno said.

“Hey!”

“If we can make Wilbur get out of the bathroom before noon,” Phil agreed with a chuckle.

Author Note: Don't worry! I promise someone will be in pain the next chapter. :)

[rapid-looser]

Heyy, can you do c!SBI being Reader’s new neighbors in a modern AU? Platonic please :] (and more specifically, if you want: Techno, Wil, and Reader are in their early twenties, Tommy is around 15-17, and Phil is… old LMAO, prolly late 30s or 40s)

If you don’t want to do it is fine btw !!!

★C!sbi being readers new neighbour★

a/n: hi anon! This took me some time, but i was able to get it done, i did headcanons and small drabbles of all 4 and this is entirely platonic! And sorry wilburs drabble is a bit shorter than he rest, i don't watch him much

pronouns: you/yours

requested: yes/no

TW: Cussing and swords?

.

.

C!Philza:

•He first first met you when you were struggling to bring in a fair amount of groceries

•He was the one who introduced himself and his sons to you

•He invited you over once he realised that they're your new neighbour

•He also told Tommy to not be rude

•He also accidentally knocks things over with his wings

•His wings seemed a bit..weird at first not to mention how huge they were

•But you eventually got use to them once you went over to they're house constantly

•However your clothes may have a few small feathers in them, which are a dark grey considering his age

•He also lectures Tommy for cussing a lot, which you can hear all the time

•And you also hear a bunch of random noises from him at random times

•Usually his random bird noises

•But you may also need to help the old man finding his stuff since he's kinda blind

•Also helping him find his bucket hat finds someone (Tommy) likes to hide it. A lot

You stared at the amount of groceries you had, maybe you shouldn't have bought so many but you got distracted while shopping. But what caught your attention was the moving truck that was outside the house next door to you. The house has been vacant for a while since the old owners found a better place, but the house was fairly nice. You started grabbing your groceries to bring them inside when a man approached you, he looked a to be in late thirties to mid forties. "Hey uh do you need help bring your groceries inside? I don't mind help" He said as he stood beside you. "Uh yes please, also are you moving in to that house?" You replied as you put down the groceries and pointed to the house next to yours. "Yes i am actually, with my three sons, also my names Philza" He replied as he brought the remaining groceries near your front door. "Well nice to meet you Philza, I'm [name], and thanks for helping me!" You stated

.

.

.

C!Wilbur:

•He was the one who told phil you were struggling with groceries in the first place

•The most odd thing was that he collected guitars. A lot of them

•Like, guitars from the early 1920's type of guitars from different places around the world

•He accompanied Tommy when Phil told him to go just incase Tommy chocked out

•He showed you his guitar collection when you came over

•He kept asking you where things were in the city since his family didn't know anyone else

•Since the first night, you can hear him and Tommy fighting about the most random stuff

•He'll introduce you to his 'twin', techno

•Since he's only been in the neighbourhood for a week when he introduces you to techno, he may ask you to come with him when he's going somewhere so he doesn't get lost

•He will also scold Tommy for being rude to you at first

•"Oi Tommy knock it off you gremlin" is what you probably hear when you go over there for the first time

•He's probably the most polite excluding Phil when you first meet

•However when you come over (since Phil insisted first up), he'll be the one to strike up conversation with you until the awkwardness is gone

"Hey [name] before you go do you wanna check out my guitar collection before you go? A fair amount of it is vintage" He said as he cut Infront of Tommy who was talking to you a second ago. "Uh yeah sure but what about Tommy?" You replied confusingly. "Hey Tommy i think phil was asking you to tidy up your room, so why don't you listen to him and do it?" Wilbur said as he faced Tommy. "Fine." Tommy replied in spite and not long after Tommy left, Wilbur took you to his room where his guitar showcase was, everything was sorted into decades, from the early twenties to the current time.

.

.

.

C!Technoblade:

•He didn't speak to you first up until Wilbur introduced you to him

•He has this..interesting vibrant pink coloured hair which was slightly faded at the roots

•He appeared to have these pointy tusks that came from his bottom jaw

•He collects a bunch of old blades of all sorts

•He's the most chill out of all 4 of them, once he trusts you enough he'll show all of them to you and when you first come over he may or may not show you a few swords that are more modern

•While the rest of the sbi sleeps downstairs, to sleeps upstairs because it's less noisy, so expect to see him from your windows just reading a book

•When you first come over, he'll start talking about mythology from all around the world and ask if you know anything about mythology

•If you do, he'll strike up conversation about that certain mythology you know about

•He'll feel more comfortable around you since your around his age, so expect a lot of "It's stuff only adults understand, into it [name?]" When Tommy tries to ask about something

•If you don't know about mythology he'll teach you about the basics of it

•He won't scold Tommy but he'll tell him to stop being rude since they're new to the neighbourhood and you've been her longer than they have been

.

•And he's also a bit awkward at first until he's use to you

Technoblade recently invited you to his room so he could show his blades to you, although he got a bit carried away when talking about the origins of a certain blade that came from a famous Greek soldier. "Books say the sword he owned was connected to the Greek god, Ares-" He rambled before the got distracted by another sword "Oh and this one has originally came from a Romen empire while they were at war, The sword was owned by they're ruler" He continued. Eventually you asked how he knew so much about these swords "Well, Phil had them before he gave them to me, and also, Tommy wasn't rude to you when he first invited you over was he?" He spoke up. "Well he was a bit rude but he wasn't too bad" You replied as you recall the interaction you had with the youngest a bit over a week ago.

.

.

C!tommyinnit:

•He first caught your attention when he was yelling at Wilbur about how he should get the biggest room since he's the better sibling out of the 3

•He then later was forced- or in his words at least, to invite you over

•Which he avoided until Wilbur went with him

•He was a bit blunt, snarky and slightly rude which got him a slap on the head from Wilbur

•And later got him a lecture from Philza which you could hear most the night

•But once you came over and he got comfortable with you, he was a lot more polite and vocal

•Even if he did comment on how 'old' you were

•But over all he was a polite kid (which he hated being called since he was a man according to himself)

You heard a knock on your front door, and as you opened it, you saw 2 people, someone around your age and someone younger who looked to be around 16. "Uh yeah hi, We wanted to know if you wanted to come over one night" The younger one said, Who you were assuming is Tommy, the youngest one Philza told you about. "And who may you two be?" You asked curiously just incase you got them confused for someone else. "Tom. And this bitch is Wilbur" He said quite bluntly as he received a side eye from Wilbur then a slap on the head from him. "Tommy don't be so rude." Wilbur replied as he smacked his younger brother on the head. "Well uh- sure i love to!" You chirped, ignoring Tommy who was cussing at Wilbur.

[meeowerzz]

I shit u not this is how I write my notes for fics + this was all written in like 2021 so I’d obviously tweak it now but hough. I wish I finished it.

>modernish setting, mainly based off of 70s-80s (communication, traveling and scenery wise), also locations/random shit based of midwest(?) area of the us (I don't understand how the uk works ik it's lame here sorry, but the country is lmanburg. like if you took the us, removed all the states and went. yep. that's lmanburg.)

>dadschlatt au, but not the fluffy good ones

>schlatt dies right off the bat, tubbo finds him in their pool and goes 'welp I gotta get out of here' and runs away

>tubbo is about 17-18, ranboo's 18? & tommy's 17 (not sure why I specified the ages tho)

>tubbo owns an old yellow beetle, he calls it bumblebee

>aunt puffy hell yea (dream and foolish are little kids in this)

>tubbo, schlatt & puffy are all ram/sheep hybrids

>tubbo's closest (only?) friend originally was ranboo (met each other in freshman year, when ranboo first showed up in town)

>ranboo is an enderman hybrid, works/worked at a convenience store (ran by bbh, simply because why not)

>instead of taking damage from water, it's more like being lactose intolerant (I did this because I could write funny shit + he gives off the vibe)

>was convinced(?) by tubbo to run away with him (tbh he didn't want to go, but the risk of forgetting tubbo/letting something happen to tubbo was too high)

>essentially the 90% of impulse control of the 3

>both tubbo n ranboo will at least commit arson once

>tubbo plans to drive them across the country (until they get to the ocean)

>tubbo literally hits tommy with their car while speeding at like 3am in the woods

>tommy is a raccoon hybrid

>beeduo goes aw shit he's dead n throws tommy in the trunk to bury him deeper in the woods

>he's not dead (surprise!!), they all freak the fuck out

>tommy threatens to call the cops if they don't bribe him

>apparently waffles makes things better

>now they have a feral (presumably homeless) raccoon teenager w/ them

>at some point a gas station blows up

>after they collect tommy. puffy shows up at tubbo's house to find schlatt dead and tubbo missing

>chaos ensues

>tommy's apparently also traveling, trying to find phil (unaware that phil is his dad, he just is following wil's last instructions to him)

>wilbur moved across country (taking tommy w/, tommy was like 4 when they left phil) to live with a girl named sally, who left him for someone else. years later (when tommy's 14ish), wilbur enlists into the lmanburg army, leaving tommy alone when he gets sent off to war (wilbur tells him if anything goes wrong, head to phil's home (across the country). he also gives him a pic of phil for reference and his sheep plush/guitar pick for good luck). wilbur never comes back.

>tempted to make fundy an actual dog. like a pet that wilbur called his son as a joke

>quackity n sapnap are also in this. I don't know how to tie them in completely yet tho

>essentially bench trio bonds, puffy follows the trail of chaos they leave, and existential crisises occur

>Niki, Jack & George are cops that are working with Puffy to find Tubbo (the dynamic of those 3 is so fuckin underrated)

>thinkin it’ll take place around octoberish (simply because I want to write some retro halloween bits, and possibly a random ass scene of bench trio + the cops wandering around during trick or treating hours not knowing that they’re literally a few feet away from each other)

>Tommy pickpockets Jack one time, almost gets arrested (literally if the car didn’t start all the way they would’ve gotten caught. and yes. Tommy steals shit constantly, will cause extra chaos)

>the car breaks down at some point in the middle of nowhere, the trio wanders around looking for a place to get help, winds up almost getting a leg snapped off in a bear trap. apparently Techno lives in a random ass cabin with dogs by himself (think like canon Techno, but Steve is a giant dog, the cabin is kinda like the one in Kiki’s Delivery Service and there’s no one else living with him)

>helps them fix up the car to get them to leave, and literally the moment after they leave he registers that Tommy is Phil’s son (possibly his brother?? idk I’m a sucker for sbi family it would be funny too)

>Niki shows up at Techno’s later, asks him if he’s seen any of them (Techno denies, he doesn’t like cops showing up at on his property)

>at some point Puffy and Tubbo cross paths at a diner, angsty confession/convo goes here (essentially explaining how shitty of a father Schlatt was, how he’d waste his life in their home town, etc etc)

>Puffy, after having that convo, calls off the search. she trusts that he’ll be ok with Ranboo and Tommy, and makes sure that he’ll stay in contact (she plans to visit after they find a place on the coast)

>beeduo, before running away, wanted to start a band (they may do this when they get to the beach)

concept for quackity’s role in hbf, minus the the rest of his character

>so so if I write quackity as the role I'm thinking of, schlatt wouldn't drown in a pool cause he's a fucking idiot he would've been drowned by mr quackster

>essentially drowns schlatt after schlatt gets aggressive while he's wasted

>(schlatt is an agressive/flirty drunk, and quackity and him had an relationship years ago/ are on and off again since then. quackity cut off the relationship when he couldn't fuckin quit drinking but didn't cut off contact)

>schlatt is wasted, calls quackity to come over, is flirty until he gets agressive, then he goes inside, breaks patio door n shit and quackity is fucking pissed. after getting into a fight fight q fucking drowns him in the pool and fucks off afterwards. thus starting chap 1 of HBF

lemme find if I can find my summary plot for HBF cause I’m thinking ab it again

[bedrockbones]

Dark SBI murder au but Tommy's both the murder and the little shit

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it ///not accepting

tommys first kill had been an accident. it was a school bully who had pushed and pushed and pushed. they boy had seen tommy as an easy target. the foster kid. the transfer. the one with no friends and no allies. months of torment all came to a head when the boy had chased tommy halfway home after school until tommy decided...why is he running? he...doesnt really remember the fight. but he comes back to himself with a rock in his hand, the edge of it wet with blood and a still warm body by his feet he expects, as he hides the body, for the guilt or terror or shame to set in. it never does. all tommy feels is relieved. even- he feels good even. tommy realizes he doesnt have to be prey anymore. he could be the predator

he gets a new placement a few months later (no one ever finds the body. a nearby construction site with still drying cement takes care of that problem) and he starts experimenting. the thing is- all the cool murderers have a style. theyve got themes and-and calling cards and stuff. but tommy doesnt have any of that. is he supposed to? but nothing really calls to him and he doesnt want to force a style! thatd be even worse than not having one he should-experiment. yeah. study up on the big names. Azrael, Soot, and Protesilaus. Those guys are the best. theyve even got the cool killer names! he studies their kills. their MOs. and once hes ready, he tries them out. the first few are sloppy so he hides the bodies. he cant let people see that-those are embarrassing!- but once he has them down, he displays them in similar fashions when he sees on the news theories of the return of "The Angel" tommy almost cheers. people think he's Azrael! that must mean he did a good job!

when phil sees one of “his” kills on the news, he does a double take. because he remembers his kills. he studies his victims and he most assuredly did not kill this man but everyone seems to think he did and yes, listening to the details, seeing the set up and the victim choice, if phil were anyone else he could see how this copycat would be misconstrued as the real thing. but phil isnt anyone else and he would like to know who the hell is copying his kills? were they taunting him? some arrogant upstart trying to encroach on his territory?  he doesnt even know why hes so annoyed. he’s not wilbur. he doesnt care about fame. that’s not why he does this (though he loves his son and understands his motives. its a tough world out there, trying to make your mark on it is unforgiving.) still. the fact that people dont realize its a copycat and instead think this kill was the real deal...phils interest is peaked

technoblade knows phil is hunting the newbie. hes been on him for weeks now and still no sign of the copycat. it was funny at first-watching phil scramble after some rookie killer and somehow not catching him- but then the little brat started copying techno as well. and thats when all bets were off.

when wilbur heard about this, he had laughed at first. only to grow more offended as time goes on that whoever this killer is isnt copying his MO. does this asshole thing wilbur isnt on the same level as his father and techno? oh he’ll show that little brat the truth then.

tommy knows he’s being hunted and it is the best. azrael thinks hes enough of a problem to deserve being hunted? thats so cool! tommy needs to make this worth the man’s while! 

[bonesandthebees]

[“I know how to plan for a hundred different ways something can go wrong, so of course nature itself has to be the thing that fucks me over,” Phil muttered, shaking his head.] I really love being in Phil’s head. I do want to counter that this man had no control whatsoever over that horse running off, which is the only reason his kid is still alive even if he saved both of them with quick thinking after.

Anyway, taking your anger out on the presumed cause of your son’s possible death is not a healthy coping mechanism. That will not stop me from cheering for them to tear Schlatt apart. And it might take Phil’s mind of things too.

[“From that kid Sneeg had attending to Tomys—Ranboo, I think,” Techno explained,] the question is, was Ranboo fowling Wilbur on purpose? In which case we have the follow-up questions. Are they always the one who follows Wilbur or do the people take turns. OR did they see by accident.

Either way, Wilbur is very much right to be paranoid, which we already knew. Phil very much told him that not seeing anyone does not mean that he’s not being watched. But hearing someone report back on Wilbur to Phil while it’s treated as normal is very different.

Anyhow, I really enjoy the pieces falling into place, from his pov. Q looks troubled, so he probably knows something, it’s a good thing he tried to ‘warn’ Wilbur, that might save him later. We still don’t know how much he really knew and how much of a say he had in everything. But he’s an accomplice all the same.

I love Phil’s analysis of Q. [“but it doesn’t feel like his… style. It’s too underhanded for him.] of course we don’t really know how right Phil is in this assumption. But we do know that Q likes to strike deals. What’s more important, is that while it’s underhanded, having everybody know what you did is way worse on a political scale. Which is probably part of the reason why Phil prefers Niki as heir aside from the fact that she’s closer to Wilbur.

rose!phil likes to be in control of things. information, situations, people, etc. that's why he's done such a good job as consil, because he has a hand in everything that's going on. so when he encounters something outside of his control, it drives him a little nuts. so yeah, he's not coping well with the weather being the thing that's keeping him from finding out what happened to his kid. so he's trying to find control in what ways he can, which right now is figuring out if schlatt really was the one responsible for this or not.

I won't say if ranboo is always the one following wilbur or not, but I will say ranboo was purposefully following wilbur that night yes. and that it was entirely on sneeg's orders, on behalf of phil. the web stretches far.

phil has basically told wilbur outright he's spying on everyone in the palace all the time, and that includes wilbur himself. it's not as though phil's trying to hide it from him. but yeah, I definitely liked showing how casually it's treated. phil's been receiving information from sneeg this way for years now. it's very much a normal thing between them.

we still don't know how much quackity knew/if he had any control over the entire setup. but phil has made it his job to analyze and understand the potential heirs, hence why he feels that this isn't in q's usual style. we saw where his mind went with the war games. he likes to strike deals and bargain, not play dirty. so there's a lot of questions surrounding quackity right now. I'm not giving any answers, I want you all to theorize how involved he was/wasn't :)

My eyes open with alerts scattered on my screens.

“Where am I? Who am I?” My voice was horrid. I couldn’t speak well. An alert popped on my screen. It’s fixing my voice. Touch my neck and try again.

“Hello.” My voice was smoother. The sound of it was nice. I look at my surroundings as I open my eyes. I’m surrounded by green. I look at myself and while I hear silent alarms go off in my head..I look non metal. Interesting. I scanned my surroundings to understand. Grass..oak trees..the atmosphere and wind. I try to find any reason as to why I am here but nothing. I move my hand and slowly move my legs. It took a moment but it was easy to learn. I pat myself down. I felt the cloth on my body then the words came to mind. Clothes. I had an interesting outfit on.

“Words..are coming to my mind but why can I not remember?” I look and find a blue thing among the grass. Water. A lake? Pond? I look into it. When I lean over, long black follicles almost fall into the water. I push the hair back and stare at myself. I looked curious. Optics..eyes were brown. Hair was in several long… braids. My cover..skin was brown. A light brown but brown.

“Who are you..” I asked myself. Lift myself onto my feet and start checking all of my pockets. Nothing with a name. The only things on me are a handheld transmitter,a key and tons of gear. Whoever I once was, I was prepared. My only question is how do I mange to hold so much in such small pockets. I look into the forest as I had heard something. Just as I stare into the distance as a man appears with one other.

“Hey! You’re new to the server! What’s your name?” The man with wings said with a grin. I didn’t understand what he meant so I only stood up.

“I am Project 1076. Serial Code 198D7665392. I..don’t know why I’m here.” The man’s face warped in confusion. The boy with blonde hair smiled and suddenly got excited.

“I will call you, Y/n. Got that bitch?” He sounded confident so I accepted the new name.

“Yes. Accepting new name. Y/n. Given by Tommy. Son of Phil. New word learned.. Bitch.” The man with wings panicked for a moment.

“Tommy! Don’t teach her that!” Tommy looked cheeky as if he did something.

“Anyways.. I’m Phil. This is my son Tommy. He’s slightly…eccentric.” Tommy grins and grabs my hand. He pulls away almost instantly then he took hold once again.

“Whoa..your hand is weird!” Phil scolded Tommy again but I didn’t mind. I didn’t really understand what he meant. Phil offered to take you to his home and you accepted. I followed the two back to a house in a field. I stood behind them. I didn’t want any attention drawn to me since Phil told me that he had two more kids. The moment the door opened, Tommy grabbed my hand to pull me inside. But my hand simply came off with the force. He was so surprised that he dropped my hand in front of two boys that looked almost like twins. The one with fluffy brown hair with a yellow sweater picked up my hand.

“Is this yours?” He kindly asked. I took it back attaching it to my robot arm.

“Thank you. My name is Y/n. I am Project 1076. Serial Code 198D7665392.” I respond. He laughs with an odd look on his face. The other one with pink hair and small teeth growing from his lower jaw.

“Is that an orphan?” He looked at me with red eyes as if he were almost possessed.

“Orphan..please define that.” He thought for a moment before speaking.

“Kid without parents.” I processed that and nod as I take in the new word.

“Y/n. This is Wilbur and Technoblade. Techno has origins of piglin so it makes him naturally violent sometimes. Just warning you in case it surprises you.” Phil introduces me to the boys and tells me that I can stay on the couch till he can get a room for me. I deny the room offer since I don’t need that much space but he insists even if the room is small. This will be enlightening.

———————

It’s been years. They all grew up and left. First Tommy,then Wilbur and then Techno. Phil left too and I followed. I still stay at the house and clean things up but the place feels like tons of abandoned memories. When I finally arrived at the cords, the place seemed to be in flames. I run down and see a huge hole. I look and find Phil in a stand with a bloodstained sword in his hands with his wings damaged beyond repair. Wilbur..was right underneath him deathly pale. I scanned him over and tried to understand but I couldn’t. What happened? I look down and see Tommy and Techno but they’re facing each other angry. I run to them almost falling.

“Technoblade? Tommy? What’s going on?” My words fell upon deaf ears as Technoblade screamed at Tommy.

“YOU WANT TO BE A HERO,TOMMY?! THEN DIE LIKE ONE!” Huge monsters spawned and red alerts blared in my ears. A new emotion updated in my system.

Fear.

“TECHNO!” I scream. He turned as he was running away. His eyes could be read as sadness and surprise but he kept running. I jump out of the way trying t avoid being decommissioned. Why is this family falling apart?

———————

Three years. Three years and too much has happened. Ever since I came to join the others. Tommy and his friend Tubbo have rebuild Wilbur’s old land of L’manberg. Wilbur became a ghost and Techno went into hiding. Tubbo exiled Tommy almost in cold blood thanks to Dream. They hunted him down and tried to kill him. Failed. Dream is dangerous. My system tells me that much from the data I’ve gathered. Dream,techno and Phil even blew up the country beyond recognition. Tommy even sent Dream to prison. Upon visiting him Tommy died then got brought back. Ghostbur died and Wilbur came back. After all that’s happened. I don’t know if I want to remember my past. Tubbo runs a new country, Snowchester. It’s cold and I have to wear warm clothes since my body will freeze then break down. I currently sit with Phil tapping my fingers staring out the window.

“Phil,this family is broken and I’m not even a part of it.” Phil stopped brewing and sighed.

“Don’t say that.” I look at him.

“Phil. Evidence tells that Tommy is being manipulated by Wilbur and has learned to not trust his family. Upon visiting him with Technoblade in exile, Techno only mocked and made fun of him. Wilbur has forced his ideals onto him, Wilbur came back from the dead with vengeance, he hasn’t cared for whomever he hurts as he believes he’s always in power. Techno has his voices but he still does things completely on his own. Taunting Tommy, Blowing up the one place people care about with the biggest manipulative person here. And me? I was left to tend to that house in the fields. Besides, I’m not even related to any one you.” I tell him. Phil sighs and taps his chin.

“Family goes beyond blood. You don’t have to be of the same blood.” Phil explains half heartedly. I get up and look at him. His eyes were tired and confused as to what I was doing.

“I’m grateful then. I’m glad to be part of the family. I will be leaving now. Goodbye Phil. Give these to Tommy, Wilbur and Technoblade. Tell Tommy he’s stronger than he knows, Tell Wilbur that I will never forgive him for what he’s done to Tommy. And tell Techno..I hope his voices become quieter.” I hand him the letters, I gave wrote to them. I leave out the door and Phil calls to me. I ignore him. I need to know what’s happened to me before I met them. I will not find out being around them any longer.

It’s my turn to go ahead and leave them behind.
