Au where Technoblade is a war robot and Philza is the scientist who made him.

Hoping Tumblr doesn't butcher the quality of this drawing

MORE THANATOS FROM YOURS TRULY!!!! This is how he looked like when the twins were teens!

(more info under cut)

For those who are confused!! This is Thanatos, a fusion between Technoblade and Wilbur from my au ,(In the higgs field au)

He, of course, changed how he looked with the two growing so he's got many designs!!! This is one of the... [Checks notes]… 5 designs I've got down!!! Of course little details change depending on the day and what they're wearing but they mostly stay the same :3 this is him anywhere between 16 to ~20, if I did the maths right

[antimony-medusa]

phil going to tell mr phillip he was talking to chat but correcting himself to "the voices" mid sentence for the sake of rp jhgfd

[royalarchivist]

Phil: I can- I can do this, watch– [He goes into windowed mode] Right? And then that allows me to just quickly click on stuff without alt-tabbing every 2 seconds.

Phil: [Reading chat] "Windowed mode, el- Emerald duo crumbs" Jesus Christ. [Laughs] The fact that- the fact that this– [He goes into windowed mode again and cracks up, leaning off-camera and slapping his desk] The fact that this is your "Techno crumbs" is crazy.

Phil: He did do this a lot. He- he did not like to alt-tab. He- instead of alt-tabbing, he would just hit F11. Which just put it in like, fckin' tiny window mode. Alright. Anyway–

Fit saluted a Techno shrine on his stream today! o7

Clip

[Transcript Begins:

*Fit is walking along the top of the potato wall on QSMP with Ramon and walks up to a small building on one side.*

Fit: Alright, but- what’s this?

*Fit zooms into a pink sign next to an armour stand with a golden crown, some potato crates and some bells. The sign reads “In honor of Technoblade. A great friend, son, and person.” Fit silently salutes and takes a swig of a bottle of kombucha after toasting it towards the screen irl. He then turns away in game and continues walking along the wall.*

Fit (to Ramon): Alright, let’s move.

Bunnyblade's 5-Step Plan to World Dominance

(Ok ok first as a biologist I must do my due diligence to be like, there’s actually lots of rules regarding animal experimentation and their quality of life, animal testing greatly increases the safety of BOTH humans and the environment, etc etc IACUC is extensive and thought out. However. Whump :)

Tw: referenced animal abuse, trauma, blood

Lab Bunnyblade. Blood red eyes and sleek white fur that covers up his many scars. He’s level E under the USDA Pain and Distress category. No anesthesia, no rest. Little bun who always bites when he shouldn’t and kicks at scientists and doesn’t know anything but glass and iron and white and fear.

In his immense wisdom and many years of bunny experience (he is TWO (2) whole years), Bunnyblade resolves to topple the United States Government on the grounds of unethical treatment of its citizens (born on US soil! He should get rights!). But the only obstacle between him and the country descending into anarchy is escaping the lab.

As 2 in bunny years is well over 16 in human years, it’s probably not illegal for him to drive. What? Of course he knows how to drive. Bunnyblade only doesn’t know how to break, because he’s shoved a brick on the accelerator and his widdle legs can’t reach that far. He CAN use the turn signal. He doesn’t because he’s an anarchist.

So of course the greatest evil mastermind of the 21st century escapes the lab! Determined bun. Strong bun. But alone bun. All in the cold with no idea how survival works. Bunnyblade is well familiar with human lifestyles due to deciphering human languages and that one time he stole a phone and discovered the internet (with unlimited access for an entire night! THOSE FOOLS! Those moronic scientists scarcely comprehend the monster they’ve made!). But human society turns out to be very discriminatory towards rabbits with no income, and Bunnyblade is at the mercy of the elements.

Cue Philza finding what’s obviously someone’s pet trying to eat plastic turf grass. Cue him frantically chasing down a frightened bun across the neighbor hood so he can return it. (Blast! They’ve hired goons to catch him!) Except- what the hell, this rabbit seems to be evading him no matter what. And Phil starts getting tricky with trying to corner it, but it never seems to work. But in yet another desperate bid to outrun the determined little bun, he smacks into a small child, smelling his ice cream cone. After Tommy is done cursing the stranger to hell and back, he decides he’ll show up Phil by catching the rabbit cause he’s faster and smarter and handsomer!

And then stranger Kristin sees Phil making an absolute dorky fool of himself trying to save a frightened bunny and immediately thinks oh I can’t Not wife him she should help. So now they’re flirting in between absurdly elaborate schemes to trap the bun.

More and more goons are after Bunnyblade! This is TERRIBLE! They must know his secret plans to overthrow the government! It gets up to like 20 different people chasing him around the park. His heart is racing as fast as a rab- erm- okay immediately after he takes over the government he’ll rewrite all English idioms to be more rabbit inclusive, but until then- his heart is beating so fast it hurts, throbbing in painful desperation as more and more humans hunt him down in roaming packs. There’s so many he can’t ever stop running, knowing the second he’s caught he’ll be dragged back to the lab. It'll be so much harder to escape next time, maybe impossible. Never to see the outside world again. No warm sun tousling through his white fur. No soft grass beneath his feet, healing the lines scored into toe beans by wire cage floors. No. Bunnyblade can’t go back to the lab.

So he runs. And runs. Little body aching, unused to to wide open spaces but so desperate to become used to freedom.

Philza keeps being this close to capturing the bun. Mere whiskers off! Everyone is getting more and more invested in helping, feels like half the town is chipping in. There’s multiple teams competing for who captures him first. Philza isn’t sure how, but he’s somehow become the leader, coordinating groups and strategies since somehow the rabbit manages to get capture efforts tangled up in each other to thwart both teams. Tommy insists he’s in charge, though, and to appease the twerp a little Philza says the bunny’s name is ‘Technoblade’ when asked by the news crew. Tommy came up with it off of some kids show, seems to think it’s the raddest name ever.

The joke keeps getting tossed around that this is the reincarnation of Bugs Bunny, that this is a were-rabbit and they transform midday. But for the most part Philza really does this think is a normal, albeit insanely fast and lucky, rabbit. Until when he’s right on the bun’s tail, hurling himself at them in a desperate bid to finally catch them-

Concussion. Right. P-probably just a concussion haha! And after 20 million schemes 6 trips to the ER and enough carrots* to feed a small country, (*carrot thing is a myth but Phil is dumb he don’t know that),

...they catch Technoblade. Philza is cradling the bunny to his chest and -oh, oh he’s so small and soft. Could probably be held in one hand were he not thrashing so much. Philza pants in exhaustion, grinning triumphantly. Around him everyone erupts in the quietest cheers imaginable.

Technoblade is shaking badly. His fluttering heart never seems to calm even as Philza gently strokes them. His struggles are weak, poor thing worn out from fending off dozens of persistence predators. But he's safe now.

And elsewhere, a click of a spacebar on the live news story. The screen zooms in on a blurry glimpse of the escaped lab subjected. His large, terrified red eyes that almost seem to glow.

A long, long sigh, and a latex-gloved hand picks up a phone. “We found it. But it purposefully got as many eyes on it as possible.”

[a-sociopath-do-your-research]

Ok ok I might be shaking (positive)

NGHHH YES TECHNO WRITING. FINALLY SOMEONE SEES MY VISION. I like to think when he's writing he completely zones out from what happens around him which is funny to me (no I'm not projecting why would you think that-)

Wilbur being the one to find techno is PEAK I'm glad we can agree on that, in my au that happens too. "How when did you guys adopt him?" "Idk Wilbur found Techno once and refused to let go so"

I also like to think piglins are clingy because of the whole "attack one and all the others attack you" so they usually form packs, which to me means Techno was Clingy with a capital C to Wilbur (and the others, but Wilbur was really the only one who wouldn't complain about techno holding onto him at all times)

Jsjdhsjshdhdb Twinsduo you'll always be famous to me

Any Twinsduo headcanons? (I'm a simple guy ok-)

*cracks knuckles* - Personally I like twinsduo as biological twins and not, but for the purpose of my whack ass Wilbur species HCs I'll say they'd be adoptive siblings. But they are the same age and have the same birthday, which is why they're twins (according to Wilbur) - However if twinsduo were to be biologically related, Wilbur would be the one with the unnatural hair color (dyed brown) because it's funny - In theory Wilbur adopted Techno more than Phil did. She got lost in the nether only to come back to Phil with a little piglin trailing behind her, I like to think she pulled a "Can we keep him? 🥺" And the rest is history - Wilbur is genderqueer and Techno is agender, whenever it comes up Wilbur claims they "took all of the gender in the womb" (Which, as Techno always points out, is not even remotely the case) - Piglins display affection via light headbutts (more like a forehead tap than anything) keyword: light, young piglins often have to learn to rein in their enthusiasm a little bit, even moreso with other species. Point being, Techno has absolutely accidentally broken Wilbur's nose at least once with a head bonk when they were little - Both Wilbur and Techno have the capacity to infodump but usually Techno is the one doing most of the listening (half-listening more often than not but shhhh) Techno usually waits until Wilbur tires himself out to ramble, when they were kids Wilbur would fall asleep to Techno's ramblings before bed. Sometimes Techno would ramble to help Wilbur fall asleep during pogtopia - They get into debates fairly regularly about political theory. People think they're arguing (and they are) but they're usually having fun, though they rarely if ever come to any sort of actual understanding on account of how stubborn they both are /lh - When they do argue they're known to quickly devolve into roughhousing (at least when their arguments are more lighthearted) Techno almost always beats Wilbur's ass but Wilbur can never pass up the challenge - Wilbur gained a fondness for poetry from Techno (I like to think Techno enjoys writing in his spare time :3) - Techno was selectively mute for awhile there when he was small, Wilbur picked up sign to speak with him better. They still sign to eachother from time to time (partially for the secrecy and partially because Wilbur's hearing isn't too good from the explosions)

[technofeudalism]

Taller Nepantla: "So where do art and artists stand within this new techno-feudal political landscape?"

1) Artists don’t own anything.

We don’t own the studios. We don’t own the galleries. We don’t own the production of materials. We don’t own the newspapers. We don’t own the art schools and universities. We don’t own the mechanisms of art distribution. We don’t own our work. We don’t even own our own art. Artists have no labor protections and are content to work individually to perpetuate their own myth or pray to the sacred algorithm to go viral. By being atomized we are exactly like a feudal peasant of the Middle Ages, who lives in extreme precariousness giving away part of his crops to his local king. The art world, its industry, its weight, its impact, its trend, everything belongs to other people. Did you know 80% of the art-market is own by a small group of Mega Collectors? Those who control the means of artistic production control the artists.

2) By not owning anything, artists and cultural workers only rent.

We no longer sell handmade works, but instead we sell our hands for work. More and more the creative and artistic sector sells services rather than art. Artists need multiple jobs in order to invest in their art practice. Even more, just as in the feudal stage of history, we work the land in a territory that does not belong to us, the land belongs to the landowner. In this land artists will always pay rent, a tax, to the feudal lord. We use GOOGLE to send emails We upload our art to INSTAGRAM We educate ourselves through YOUTUBE We communicate through TIKTOK We pay to use ADOBE SUIT We buy materials through AMAZON We move through UBER We send files through WETRANSFER Every time we use these platforms, we generate money for the feudal lords.

The art world depends on these platforms, which collect our information and our data, to sell.

When a service is free, our attention is the product. That is, it is impossible for an artist to establish himself as an artist without generating money for the landowners who own the technological platforms. That is, the art world depends on these products. It is impossible to be an artist without using these technologies. Techno-feudalism keeps artists in a situation of -permanent-precariousness dependence on technological platforms. Just like in medieval times, peasants live off the crumbs offered by the crown, living in a house, working on land, and eating food that does not belong to them. Technocapitalists don’t want artists to own the means of artistic reproduction. Technocapitalist instead build a world where everything is rented. Every stage of artistic production from how you imagine an artwork, how you study an artwork, how you draft and artwork, how you build an artwork, how you show an artwork, how you distribute an artwork, how you perceive an artwork, and how you think about an artwork, is all determined by apps and tools which you rented from a tech corporation.

3) Artists SUBSIDIZE the profits of technological platforms.

That is, we pay an inflated price for these services directly from our pockets. The art world depends on the underpaid work of our services. If there were fair wages in the art world, then the entire pyramid wuld be destroyed precisely because it depends on the fact that most artists do not earn a fair wage. All the art we produce and share is being used to train algorithms to better sell us products. When a platform is free, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, we are the product that is sold. Even more, artists subsidize the entire artworld. We work for free. We work for low wages. We work for exposure. We are the “volunteer army” Jerry Saltz brags about. The artworld benefits from not paying us what we deserve.

4) The entire art world depends on the platforms of the Clouds.

All museums, galleries, fairs, biennials, and auctions depend on the technological infrastructure dominated by feudal landowners. In other words, there is a dependence on these technologies in order to promise an interconnected, cosmopolitan, and immediate “art world.” The feudal landowners who own the technological platforms, having no competition, can impose whatever price they want, and the art world must obey. They can raise prices without losing customers. The price we pay to use TechnoCapitalist services is completely arbitrary. It does not correspond with the quality of the service but rather to the whims of the landlords. One day, black ink for printing is free, the next day it costs $5.99 a month as a part of a subscription package. We are looking at you Anish Kapoor.

5) The algorithm decides what counts as talent as long as it can generate profits.

Algorithms are increasingly deciding what counts as “value.” Major collectors will be able to systematize the works on the market in order to deduce, through algorithms, the value of a work and whether it is a good investment. The algorithm has more power than art critics and art historians. An artist will then adapt to the algorithmic trends of his time, in order to go viral. A work of art that goes viral can change the artist’s life. NFT’s are just one example of techno-feudal experiments in the arts. NFT’s promise decentralization and transparency, but end up replicating the worst aspects of capitalism, feudalism, and what new technologies can do.

In short, the art world is interconnected with techno-feudalism. We artists are technologically and socially dependent on a system that exploits us. It is important to increase media literacy so that artists can build alternative technological systems to cut dependence on monopolistic companies. A king’s mindset is always to grown and conquer. In the end, the artworld’s investment in techno-feudalism will actively bring the destruction of other smaller artworlds in the global south. Techno-feudalism will produce a homogenized, sanitized, apolitical universal art, that privileges creations that protect the artworlds overlords."

Thinking about TwinsDuo and how they grew up to be twins. They never were in the original start of the duo, and they could not end in that. They could have been polar opposites in the image of just two people that somehow are the exact opposite of the other. Yet, they are twins. The identical twins.

We could have gone with Wilbur+Glasses that he doesn't need and Techno+No glasses but damn he needs them. Or with Natural Hair Soot and Pink artificial Hair Blade. Or Tall Stick Wil and Buff Shorter Techno. That would make them polar opposites and that will be.

Yet, they are twins first and then opposite. They both use glasses even if just one needs them. Techno has pink artificial hair but he had natural brown hair like Wilbur's. And they started with similar body types but changed with time.

They always start as twins and we don't need that to make them polar opposites but damn, they are twins. Wilbur uses glasses because of Techno's need for glasses, Techno has his hair pink and long and somehow now he takes more care of his appearance than Wilbur and Wilbur is still shit at sport violence but Techno is even more shit with instruments.

But actually no, because Techno plays the violin while Wilbur plays the guitar. And actually, Wilbur is good at passive violence and makes your life so hard that you wish for a punch from Techno. And you what? Maybe Wilbur doesn't put that much in his appearance, or maybe Techno doesn't. Or maybe both don't, or they just care about something about their appearance. And that works in anyways because they're twins they are supposed to be identical in every difference.

That's why both have glasses and both are good at violence and have insomnia but one sleeps through the day and the other has a problematic need of caffeine though the day.

They are opposite twins and it's great because they can be just opposite (glasses Vs no glasses) or identical (both glasses but still not the same). It gives so much to play with!

We go from "Wilbur plays and Techno reads" to "Wilbur reads musicals, theatre and poetry and Techno reads mythology, history and gardening" where they both read but they read different things".

*breaths*

So yeah, I had twinsduo zoomies

How are you, twin?

First things first

Second of all

YES THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!

You won't see them being twins in the big picture. They're different, they stand out, pink hair, bulk, saccharine words and stone cold strength - no, it's in the little things. The way they scrunch up their face when thinking. How they push up their glasses when they fall. How they push back their hair while reading.

They have their own lives. They're different, they have their own thing but they laugh the same. They have the same tired replies to snarky remarks. They leave q space for the other while reading next to them because they're so used to him sitting next to them even when they haven't done it in so long.

They're Technoblade and Wilbur but they're also the Twins.

RAHHH THE SILLIES!!!!!!! RHET LOOK AO COOL AIAJSUHEHDHDJ

I was talking to one of my mutuals the other day, and so I drew fanart of their AU:

It’s a c!twins duo AU, if you learn about it, you can ask them about it:

[anarchy-and-piglins]

Currently going feral abt ctechno&cniki they are the duo ever your honor screams and explodes

I constantly wish we'd gotten more of them during syndicate era, though rewatching lore has resparked my love for pogtopia era Niki& Techno, so much good crumbs ough

[ran-orimoto]

There is a weird habit in the fandom to give the other kids attributes Junpei has got removing them from him. How do you feel about this?

You mean in their fanworks or something else?

Tbh the thing I dislike the most from the fandom, which is something I have metabolized from some interactions I’ve had, is that whenever Junpei gets something new to add to his personality, most people will go “It doesn’t fit him!” ;“He was different in the anime etc…” , because they’re so obsessed about collocating him in the field of the techno nerds due to the Bolgmon scene (be that scene damned without context).

And it’s not really just about the tenor carreer I might be one of the few rejoicing about, but, like, even the detective stories passion. I met some people who rewrote Kouichi and basically rewrote him as Junpei, making him learn about Italy to make Izumi feel less lonely, acting chivalrous, having a passion for detective novels etc…

Now, I can’t care less about what other people do in the fanworlds, but I’m saying this because in some sort of sense I do understand the sentiment and where it comes from. It might bug me sometimes…It does when these people discredit whatever Junpei gets because they are openly antis, but at the same time show they are just “jealous” of his character. But again, I’m not one to pay mind to these details. If I don’t like how you treat my son, I will block you and go on with my life.

However, I will still greet my teeth and fight in official discussions about him, in which they complain about ANYTHING he receives. Junpei (and Izumi) are such strangers to us we don’t even know who their parents are. Let us be happy about the crumbs they serve us wtf.

[crivalsduo]

Does hh!Dream know he's had multiple miscarriages? Did Sam or Quackity realize that a miscarriage was happening the first time around?

he's aware of the two, yeah.

if there was another in the prison, he likely wouldn't have noticed because of the horrific torture and abuse he was going through. he was often in pain and disorientated. they left him bleeding often. it kind of all blended together at some point.

but no, neither of them realized what was happening. they thought it was a period, mostly because it's a little hard to determine early on especially if you have no experience with it, from an outside perspective.

honestly, i was talking about this today with a friend but in the fic, the first miscarriage is basically brushed over completely and i did that on purpose. not even dream had the energy to care about what was happening. certainly no one else did.

then it happens again, at techno's cabin. and everyone cares. everyone is so gentle with him. he's allowed to process what's happening (as best as he can). he's held and comforted and given a pass to get all the crumbs in techno's bed he wants.

the difference is pretty stark.
