#distrustfulinnit

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Au where Tommy is the bio kid of Phil but was separated at a young age and rasied by Dream with Dirsta as his younger sister and Tommy having his own mask like Dream to hide his face and like- Tommy meeting Tubbo for the first time and not trusting him right away at all because of how Dream rasied him.

Oh man. This is a good au. We can have slow burn friendship between Tommy and Tubbo and anon, I’m not sure if this is good brother Dream but I’m very excited for this au and what else you got.

We can have Tommy slowly trusting Tubbo as time goes on and we can have friendship!

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Techno doesn't trust Tommy in the distrustfulinnit au, mainly because he is Dream's brother. (Wilbur not telling Techno the truth) When Tommy mentions that he's friends with Tubbo, Techno just eyes him carefully.

Then Fundy starts dragging Techno and Tommy into small fights with Manburg, Tommy actually being pretty decent. At one point Techno gets hurt and so Tommy takes the time to bandage him, Techno asking how Tommy knows all this stuff so young and Tommy shrugging and saying that being the brother of Dream has some perks.

Techno doesn't like that.

Then Dream right before the festival starts 'helping' Pogtopia and talking to Wilbur and Tommy gets worried especially seeing Fundy avoid Will after awhile. So he follows the two when they go off to talk, seeing that Dream is talking to Wilbur in a similar way he does when Tommy gets in trouble...

He intervenes, starting a fight with Dream who gets angry and grabs at Tommy's arm aggressively which uh... Causes Wilbur to not react well haha... Dream is on the floor and his mask is cracked before he can properly react, Tommy confused as Wilbur drags him away angrily. Wilbur seems to become a bit more sane then before, still not... Competely there but a small bit.

Ouch! Oh the pain for all of that! My god so much angst for that! That hurts so much!

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

"You... You can't be my dad... I-I don't have one- Dream is my brother!" Tommy backed away from Phil's touch, his wings ruffling in panic as Phil glanced towards them.

"Does Dream have wings?"

"Wh-What...?"

"Does he have wings- like us." Phil stood up straight, his wings suddenly stretching up and out, Tommy's eyes widening and staring.

"Yo-You..."

"Theseus your my-"

"I'M NOT THESEUS! I'M NOT YOUR SON! I-I'M TOMMY! TOMMY INNIT!"

Oh the angst. Oh no. The angst. Oh god.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Tubbo making distrustfulinnit honey and leaving it at his front door, hoping that Tommy will take it only for it to appear on his own front door because Dream taught Tommy to be sus of gifts

He trying to make friends but it going to take some time for them to become friends and gain Tommy’s trust.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Tubbo moving onto the smp and Tommy just kind of watching him for awhile, Tubbo a little weirded out because this blond kid with a mask has just been following him and staring at him but not really talking to him. Then he catches Tommy checking out his bees and thinks he's messing with them, so he goes to yell at him and to keep away from them but then he stops that... The kid took off his mask? And it's been a few weeks since he's moved but he's never seen Tommy not wearing his mask... And so he watches Tommy play with the bees, smiling and laughing until Tubbo actually tries to talk to him like- Tommy looks at him and he looks terrified, quickly putting his mask back on and running off before Tubbo can actually talk to him... Tubbo is kind of left confused and curious.

Oh this is a good first meeting. This is a very good first interaction for Tubbo and Tommy in the au. I love this. I love it so much.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Wilbur asking Tubbo to keep a good eye on Tommy for him after Tommy goes back to Dream and Tubbo being kind of confused but agreeing.

The elections happening expect Fundy and Wilbur are pog2020, Fundy being his right hand man in this au and Tubbo and Tommy running a joke campaign as Clingy(?)2020 causing Dream to back up Schlatt when he comes. (Schlatt still winning)

So Schlatt banishes Wilbur and Fundy, Tommy automatically alarmed when Schlatt keeps Tubbo around. Tommy also gets into an argument with Dream about even backing up Schlatt and it ends with Tommy storming out and checking on Wilbur and Fundy for Tubbo, running directly into Techno who uh... Is surpised to see Dream's little brother to say the least.

So Tommy will go and check on Fundy and Wilbur from time to time when they get exiled. That’s sweet of him. Also we get Techno being surprised by Tommy.

Also, Tommy and Tubbo bonding by running the joke campaign, Clingy 2020. Love it.

Dream and Tommy gets into another argument and oh boy the bonds between the two are getting frailer.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Okay but like in the distrustfulinnit au, Tubbo finding Tommy listening to a disc (it was orginally from Dream) and Tubbo coming up with a plan to get him another disc.

So he sets out, but it takes awhile and he ends up hurting himself while trying to the disc but he eventually gets it, Mellohi. After gaining it he goes to Tommy's and finds him and Dream talking, Tommy not seeming to pleased about whatever they were discussing.

After Dream leaves, Tubbo walks up and gives Tommy the disc who gets excited and leads Tubbo to the bench and plays it happily.

"... Thank you... Tubbo."

They become friends, Tommy starting to open up to Tubbo much to Dream's dismay.

:O

We get Tommy and Tubbo friendship on the way and we get Tommy opening up to Tubbo you guys! We get friendship!

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Had a thought for the distrustfulinnit au seeing that last ask… Tommy’s real name being Thesus in the distrustfulinnit au because of Techno and like- Wilbur seeing Tommy and just whispering his real name when he realizes who he is.

But Wilbur not telling Tommy the truth that he is his brother that Dream isn’t. That his family thought he was dead and that they mourned the lost of him when in reality Dream had him. He hates Tommy’s mask, even though he ran away from Dream he kept wearing it saying that it had meaning… It just kept Tommy shielded and alone, something he clearly had been for a long time.

Eventually Dream comes for Tommy, it takes a few weeks but he does. He threatens to attack and hurt L'manburg if they don’t give him back by the end of the day and Tommy gets scared… But Wilbur won’t let them take his brother- Not before he can tell Phil so he tells them to get ready, Tommy confining in Tubbo he doesn’t want them to fight over him…

But they get ready, Wilbur meeting Dream at the entrance to tell him they weren’t backing down- Only for Tommy to appear and tell Dream he’ll come back- Just don’t hurt them. Wilbur can tell Dream is smiling smugly behind the mask. All he feels is anger as Tommy leaves, not even Tubbo convincing Tommy to stay.

That night Dream gives Tommy mellohi back, making the two of them sit and listen to it. Dream asserts that he’s only trying to protect Tommy and he can’t trust people that only cause war… Tommy doesn’t really believe him but he likes the affection Dream is giving him and complies, promising he’ll never run away again. Dream simply tells him he’s such a good brother.

———————

Right so I’m going to go and strangle Dream for that. God damnit Dream, manipulating your brother is not good sibling bonding. You’re becoming a jackass.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Tommy-raised-by-Dream AU: feels less like a good/bad brother Dream, more like a misguided brother Dream to me? He’s trying to protect his younger siblings as best he can, he’s just got some bad coping mechanisms of his own to deal with -☘️

Misguided Dream trying his best and has bad coping mechanisms with his own issues is great. Room for improvement for the brother thing but he’s trying.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Yeah when Techno gets back to Pogtopia Wilbur loses his shit on Techno and they get into a physical fight, Techno not understanding why Wilbur is so fucked up from that til Wilbur screams at him that Tommy is Theseus... Then it clicks in Techno's head. He killed his best friend's son.

More angst galore! Ouch. Oh my god.

Just the horror that Techno has killed his best friend’s son. Even if he didn’t know it’s still terrible. Holy hell.

The pit scene is just Wilbur vs Techno without the crowd. The conversation then just stays in the pit and man that hurts.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Pogtopia wins the war against Manburg and Schlatt dies and they go to have the speech. Wilbur gives Fundy his presidency, then sneaking off during his speech. Tommy also gets pulled aside by Dream who congregates him and makes an off hand about Wilbur causing Tommy to go looking for him. Wilbur is found by Phil and they have their talk, Wilbur going to press the button only to freeze up when he hears Tommy calling his name causing Wilbur to turn towards the entrance and get upset, Phil confused until he turns and sees Tommy, automatically recognizing his son.

Oh man I love this. I love that Tommy is also the one who looks for Wilbur as well. And then Dream accidentally getting Tommy from stopping Wilbur to canonically die is great.

Then Phil recognizing Tommy would be great. Just the shock at first before Tommy just snaps him back to reality when he asks what Wilbur is doing.

In this au, Wilbur doesn’t die and he’s actually going to therapy. The resurrection plot is just when Wilbur comes back from therapy and sees Doomsday. 

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Wilbur Soot has joined the server!

And immediately defys God and aggressively adopts both the sweet but unhinged blond child and the furry fox! He was kind of joking about the drug van and all of that, but Dream still pissed and frustrated with how the disks war has gone with his little brother and this random kid who is trying to use him(not he is just befriending Tommy Dream calm down), so he is a little to trigger happy with the punishments and shut down of this new people trying to take over the potion making of the server.

So they now have to unite and protect themselves of the attacks, and with that L'Manburg was born between high walls of Blackstone and a wish to stop tha fighting and war and be independent and free.

And Tommy is so lost because even though technically they are in opposite sides, Tubbo is still trying to reach out to him, to sit in the bench he made after sneaking out of the walls that are his home to listen to the disks he helped take back, sometimes talking about random topics and others just... sitting there with him. He didn't try to call out the favor when the war started like Tommy thought he would, to make Dream stop and let them be (Tommy himself didn't believe that he could with the look on dream's face, but... he would have tried), he doesn't even ask for help in the fights and explosions they suffer, he just... is there, and is friendly to him as against the fox he calls brother snarling at him and the leader of this all who just treats him coldly if they have to. Tommy doesn't understand it, but... he is happy like this, he is happy with the company of the soldier, even though he can see and feel the watching of both sides brothers trying to make sure his relative is safe.

He isn't happy when he encounters one of the other resistance members talking with Dream about a date and a place and an deal they had made. He is scared when the date is soo soon, he was running through the forbidden walls and descending to the darkness of a room packed with everyone, and the middle of the caos that erupts Tommy protects Tubbo against the blade of his own brother, but couldn't avoid his death by the hands of his brother's friend. And there, Wilbur saw behind the mask of the famous "neutral brother" of the tyrant who was again killing them and destroying their home, he saw Tommy, the brother he never had and mourned with Phil and his friend the death of, the brother he wished so much to be alive and see grow and teach him the cords and notes he was learning on his guitar, the brother that, apparently, was alive and "well", standing silently besides Dream following him around wearing the same mask as the hunter.

Dream was ready by the side of Tommy's bed when he wakes up after his first death, and venom spills out of his words when he asks and demands why he was in the control room and why he put himself between his blade, why was he fighting with the group of stealers and "drug" addicts? Why he didn't listen to him and stayed out of this trouble of people who needed to learn a lesson.

That was the first time the brothers really fought and screamed at each, and dream, o dream so high on his pride and certain of being right, challenged Tommy if o so he liked so much of these L'manburgians, what about he fought for their independence in a fair duel? What about you live with them instead of the greater Smp? What about he just leave dream to be with o so liked Tubbo and his stupid bees?

Tommy actually listened to him, and in the next morning he packed everything of value and run away, to be in the outsides of the European country by the sea, hurt and heart broken that his own brother kicked him out and exiled him from their friends and their home. But on the bright side, Tubbo visits him every hours he feels like, sometimes dragging Fundy or Niki or Manifold or in rare times Wilbur to see him and maybe talk, or just sit there with him and listen to his disks by sunset or under the stars.

Oh I like this. I like the fact that Wilbur recognizes Tommy and the fact that Tommy is still conflicted with his allegiances. And then we get Tommy running away and man this is good. This is so good.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

In the distrustfulinnit au, Tommy only has one disc at first and it's from Dream and it means the world to him. And so Tubbo gives him another disc to gain hid trust and that's how they become friends.

Oh that’s cool. That’s very cool and I like that a lot. Just a symbol of trust and friendship between Tubbo and Tommy.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Tommy now has scars from Techno on his face, and before where he wore the mask because he loved his brother Dream starts making him wear it out of shame of the scars and Tommy refuses to take off the mask after the incident for awhile, not even for Tubbo. Tommy doesn't hate or blame Techno, he knows what it's like to be forced to do something but Techno just feels so awful for doing that to Phil's kid...

Eventually the war against Manburg comes up and Dream switches sides and so before the war Tommy takes off his mask as defiance and like his scars don't competely cover his face but their there and I feel like Techno just stops and stares at him, seeing how much like Phil he actually looks as Tommy gets everyone ready to fight.

Man. Tommy being ashamed of the scars from the fireworks hurts. Man that hurts a lot. We got Techno feeling awful as well because that was Phil’s kid.

ANd then Tommy taking off the mask in defiance? Perfect. I love that.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

"Theseus..." Tommy being confused when he hears Phil speak up, turning towards him only to feel himself be scooped up into a tight hug. Phil holding Tommy so close and tightly as he starts to cry, Tommy automatically squirming in his grip.

"Huh? What are... Why are you hugging me?" Wilbur looking up from where he is, seeing the confused and scared look on his face and hesitating.

"Dream isn't your actual brother.... Tommy isn't even your actual name... Tommy... Your Theseus, my brother- Phil's son... We thought you died years ago but- you here and okay..." Tommy stares at Wilbur in shock, speechless before Phil pulls away and cups his face.

"My Theseus... Your okay... Your..."

"I... Your my... Dad...?"

Oh man this is good. Wow this is real good. Just the whole scene when that happens. Man.

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

Tubbo isn't there for the pit fight because against all odds he actually FOLLOWED DREAM to Tommy's spawn by force and is just aggressively comforting his friend even though Dream is sending death glares to him and o gods both of them are worried because Tommy is quietly sobbing through out of this and clinging to Tubbo and Dream! Fun times!

We going to have the two of them comfort Tommy even though they don't like each other. They care for Tommy and they are worried for him.
