[goldendoodlerlockerlove]

It's still technically Michael's birthday, so here's a conversation we recently had, where he talks about why one of his favorite characters is Bob (you guys, his love of Bob makes me so 🥺):

Bonus, here's his reaction to what I drew him for today:

May i ask about your ideas. May i ask about your ideas im so curious what you're cooking up in your brain👀

HI DENZ o//////

I'm adding a cut cause i have a feeling this is going to get LONG

see, ive just gained access back to. MANY of my old fic ideas and drafts. this is Dangerous. i have been Thinking

idea #1: the rebellion (religious righteousness and kidnapping)

this idea is OLDDD. like. one of my first tumblr drafts old.

the premise is set in a modern time but with a more medieval europe view on religion. the church of XD rules over the land, and it is the only religion accepted and celebrated. the high church has nearly complete control over politics and the views of the people, its pretty dystopian tbh.

emduo both do not practice the religion of XD/prime? I'm not sure if these two should be the same or seprate yet. will probably be decided when i start thinking about tommys part in the story.

anyways, phils death's angel sent down to earth to. yk. fix this shit. techno is the blood gods conduit(? blood god jesus) sent to do the same. its. kristin and the blood god were like alr yeah lets team up this XD guy needs his shit rocked.

so. techno and phil start a rebellion.

its slow going at first. the two immortals work, and bond, and live. they become very close friends. bestest buds. (if they knew the word theyd prolly say theyre a qpr. i say theyre a qpr. they just never talk to people or go online so they just dont know what that is)

the rebellion grows. they start to recruit people. at a concerning speed

at some point, phil finds baby wilbur, probably abandoned on the streets. he was abandoned out of fear, the wings on his back being unholy. phil regards him as a perfect gift from his goddess.

this is where dream comes in. dream is a priest for XD. he's fairly high in the ranks, but not high enough to satisfy him. with the whispers of a rebellion growing against their god, dream volunteers to check it out, hoping that maybe an act like that would sway the higher-ups to like. priest promote him

when dream heads over, he's treated as a guest. see, phil and techno do hope to settle this non-violently! it wasn't what they were expecting, but if they were able to convince the church to allow the practice of other religions, theyd be happy!

dreams. not easily convinced. he inspects everything with a judgment already made, that this place was disgusting, strong, and gaining *far* too much traction to be allowed to grow.

then dream meets wilbur. being him, he sees this helpless child, growing up in war and brutality (wilburs like. two at this point. and dreams watching him try to eat very a lovingly crafted handmade wooden block. its kinda concerning how much hes succeeding.)

anyways. the night before he leaves back to the church, he tells emduo that hed talk with the other members, they'd consider all that was discussed. that night, he packs up his shit, scoops up wilbur, and *runs*

he orders for the rebellion to be destroyed, once he gets back to the church. but emduo is too pissed off for that, now.

they cant go to the high church first. too much protection, XD favored it too much with not much else in mind.

so they opt for the slower route, despite not wanting to. world dominantion

the rebellion doubles, triples, quadruples in size. emduo are angry, theyre mourning the loss of their kid, and they know that this no longer is about gods wanting attention. not fully, anymore. they were fighting for something else, now. for revenge

...anyways, hows wilbur doing? hes. he gets raised in the high church, by dream. dream tells him aboit his childhood, through dreams pov, ofc, and about how the leaders of this horrible, demonic rebellion- they were looking for him.

wilbur grows up in fear. he sees phil doing speeches on tv, of new reports of more towns being taken, and god does wilbur feel terrible. that was his father. he didn't want to grow up to be... that.

anyways. wilburs... i havent really thought about his age, the day that the rebellion finally has the strength to storm the high church. dreams high priest by this point. with how long its all took, i think wilbur would prolly be around a preteen? not sure.

usually technos the one that leads sieges. phil does it, this time, filled with fury as he stabs the high priest before he can get a word out about bargaining. phil storms into that church with all the rage of a father, and not even XD dares to stop him.

phil finds wilbur at the end of the grand entrance hall. hes older. taller. there's a look of frozen fear in his eyes that shouldn't be there. but it was his son. and so phil doesn't hesitate to hold him close, wishing he could stab the fear out of wilbur like he had done the priest who gave him that fear.

oh, also. the church makes wilbur bind up his wings, since theyre unholy and that cant be seen in the high church. and phil is. horrified by this. wilbur hasn't gotten to move his wings in prolly whats nearing a decade.

wilbur gets lots of hugs

idea #2 alien/eldritch phil, human neo trio (kinda has a hunger-games like setting?)

this is the 10k word long one that im in the tedious process of both editing and figuring out an ending. so. i dont want to say... too much in details, in risk of spoilers. but i love this au its my baby

phil is a feathered creature. hes sharp and agile and big and *scary* as shit, and has been taken to a human research lab to figure out wtf this thing is

this research lab isnt the best, morally. i dont know much abt the scp foundation, but from what i do know, its... something like that. and so at some point, phils moved to this huge territory. theres a circular wall around the place, with a glass dome just tall enough that phil can fly over the trees and get a lay of the land. but hes still trapped, despite the miles upon miles of human forest that spanned on inside.

you know who else is trapped? three human children that were pulled into white vans and drugged. these three are NOT having a good time, trust me. they don't even know why theyre here, until tommy encounters phil one day in the forest and screams and runsnand doesn't look back until hes back with the other two.

phil. phil wonders why they placed juveniles in here with him. the other three make the (correct) assumption very early on that they were here for this eldritch alien looking mf to hunt. theres an explanation as to why the evil scientists did this however i am still working on it so thats a hush hush secret. whats important is there is a language barrier, a very terrifying soon to be dad, and three kids scared out of their minds (for now! theyll learn). what else do you need in a fic?

(this fic is. SO self indulgent lmao its got all my favorite monster sbi tropes ever)

idea #3: tommy being spiderman while his adoptive uncle is a supervillain. whos already taken over the city and is aiming for the world

denz ive talked to you abt this one but it is still one of my favs

see, this idea stemmed off of miles and uncle ben's relationship in spiderman into the spiderverse but its grown into its own full fledged thing.

so. technos been a supervillain since before tommy was *born*, ok? hes a veteran and he has been PLOTTING he has had this evil plan for a LONG time

then tommy, his nephew, comes into the picture.

techno basically raises tommy, his actual dad (wilbur?) dying when tommy was very young. it... puts a hitch in his plans, sure, but techno loves tommy and doesn't really mind all that much. his plans could be slowed, and techno was a patient man.

then, tommy gets bitten by the spider. he gets his spiderman powers, and starts vigilante-ing.

heres the deal. techno never really saw it necessary for tommy to know hes a supervillain (<- STUPID). all tommy knows is that techno has a really sketchy job with really weird hours. which is like. alr cool yk?

but, tommy, this up-and-coming superhero, wants to go big. and what's bigger than fighting the city's buggest supervillain?

ohhh technos kicking this kids ASSSSS. its not pretty tommy is beat up and battered and bruised aughhh.

technos probably got tommy like. strangled against a wall when he realizes. tommy's pleading and his voice cracks and techno has this realization. that was his kids voice. he taught his kid to fight like this. this was his *kid*.

uhh what else. techno keeps up this rivalry so that tommy doesnt go out and fight villains who will actually kill him. tommy goes into the spiderverse at some point to meet ranboo and tubbo and techno forces his way in to get him back. yeah!
