Sibling in Sonic

(Is this technically spoilers?)

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this for the past few days so I figured I’d share it. In some of my favourite renditions of the DreamSMP SBI family unit, Phil can be a pretty bad dad, often leaving on adventures with Technoblade, which means Wilbur is the one to raise Tommy and eventually Tubbo, when they find him on the side of the road.

But I raise you this, Phil and Techno find Tubbo during their travels.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

They’re a month into their travels after leaving a young Wilbur with four year old Tommy when they come across a cardboard box on the side of the road. Curious, they open it up to find a young boy and a note. The note gives the boy’s basic details, his birthday, age, and his name, Tubbo.

Phil longs to take the kid in and despite their plans to continue heading south, they change course to bring the kid back home. As they travel back the boy grows close with Phil and adopts a strange companionship with Techno as he watches over Tubbo as he plays in the forest, gathering random plants on the way.

They’re two weeks into their journey back when they camp near a pillager outpost, Phil and Techno make sure they’re out of sight when setting up camp and make plans to raid it in the morning. Tubbo does the usual as he chirps into the conversation here and there while handing them the necessary equipment to set up the tents. 

Techno’s on first watch that night, his eyes scanning the tree line for movement and watching Tubbo from the corner of his eye. The kid pulls out some various plants he’s gathered from a small backpack, something they picked up from a market a week ago. He crushes some of them with rocks and places them all in a pot of water he filled from the stream that afternoon. After he seems satisfied, he places the pot on the low burning fire, occasionally stirring the mixture.

It’s a peculiar sight and he’s pretty sure Tommy’s never played with pretend mixtures before. But the kid seems happy, a large grin on his face and Phil always said that no two children are the same. The voices are scattered, some worrying about the safety of the perimeter, others chattering away about how odd the child is, while some find it endearing. Techno frankly finds the constant chattering annoying so he’s relieved when Tubbo retreats to the tent with his plant concoction right as he switches over with Phil.

That morning he wakes to Phil reprimanding Tubbo for going into the forest without telling anybody. In the two weeks that they’ve he’s been in their care, the kid has managed to wander off a grand total of eight times, so Techno can’t really bring himself to care. Despite his own disinterest, the voices are often discussing how he snuck away, this time they’re concerned about the night patrol.

They pack up their stuff before heading to the outpost. They leave Tubbo by a large oak tree, not wanting him to get caught by the pillagers. They trail around the outside trying to avoid being spotted until they realise that there is no one on watch. The voices are screaming that something is wrong. Cautiously, the two of them enter the building only to see dozens of dead pillagers. There aren’t any wounds but they’ve both had enough experience with death to be able to tell.

There’s food on the table thats partially touched, almost as if they didn’t get to finish dinner. Techno picks up a piece of chicken and brings it up to sniff, only to be stopped by called out warning. “No! don’t eat the chicken Mr. Blade!” 

Techno turns to see Tubbo rushing into the room, avoiding the bodies strewn across the room. The kid runs up to him and attempts to bat the chicken out of his hand. It’s a feeble attempt as he barely reaches Techno’s waist and the elder simply holds the chicken further out of his reach. Phil laughs at the display, while the voices in Techno’s head freak out about the kid following him without being noticed. 

Techno takes in his surroundings, from the dead army of pillagers, the table filled with an unfinished feast and the kid who’s still trying to jump at the food he’s holding. He thinks of the odd concoction the kid made and how he supposedly left sometime during the night. It takes a moment but soon the voices are screaming once again, all of them delighted with Techno’s discovery.

Techno looks Tubbo in the eyes as he asks, “Did you poison them?” Phil’s laughter freezes, a sudden quiet taking over the room. Tubbo has the nerve to look guilty, looking away now, as he nods his head. 

“I heard you both making plans to fight them and I wanted to help since Mr Phil was hurt. I can’t fight so I figured out another way.”

Techno directs his gaze back to Phil, “You’re hurt?” 

Phil stares back before nodding, “It’s nothing serious mate, I’m just curious how Tubbo noticed.” They both look over to the kid responsible for the revelation.

“You re-adjusted your wings. There’s more weight on your right side than your left.” Now that’s something that Techno didn’t notice, he wonders how long Phil’s been hurt, though there does seem to be more important things at the moment. 

Techno looks Tubbo in the eye before looking back at Phil. “We’re keeping him.”

Phil smiles, “So we’re heading south again?”

Techno nods and turns again to acknowledge Tubbo who has been watching the exchange, “Hey kid, how do you like snow?”

Tubbo’s eyes light up and Phil pretends not to see Techno smile.

I was gonna write more but now I want re write the beginning and make a whole fic of it? I’m not sure if anyone would want to see it though

Just as a reminder to those hyped about side order, this is Nintendo’s official opinion of Agent 4 from the Splatoon website:

Look at her face. Does she look like a pushover? Someone who is just a little wacky? No. This is a teenager who fought an entire Empire. And *won*. People I know keep saying she’s not as impressive as Three or Eight and like?? Just because she did the same thing as Three makes it no less impressive you ding dongs. In fact, she did it with less help than Three had, AND kicked Octavio to the curb WHILE HE HAD CALLIE ON HIS SIDE. She’s practically a force of nature. And it’s not like the Splatoon devs to forget something like this.

No matter what your hopes for side order are, don’t expect Four to be some damsel in distress or anything similar. Remember what the contents of the Splatoon 2 campaign were. Remember that Four is not a member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon because “someone has to be Agent 4!!!” Because I can almost guarantee the devs haven’t forgotten. I say with complete confidence that their definition of Four being “pushover” is a red herring. She’s going to kick our ass on February 22nd.

Get ready.

plotholes in season 4 i really don't understand now i've digested the season please feel free to explain or add your own:

- sparrow academy and especially sloane just being forgotten, luther just seeming to magically get over his wife disappearing and not fighting in any way shape or form to find her or get back to a timeline with her in it - especially as they show discovery of the phoenix academy you think five would mention that a timeline with sloane must exist out there - ben being teased on the subway train at the end of season 3 but just??? never showing up??? was that an alternative timeline? - allison doing everything last season motivated by the idea of being able to get to claire and ray only for ray to apparently leave her with zero elaboration as to why or what happened - making fatphobic jokes towards diego but actually he takes his shirt off and is still ripped as fuck? - upon regaining their powers luther getting his ape body back which??? literally had nothing to do with his marigold related powers it was because of an accident on a previous timeline? - lila getting laser beam eye powers seemingly from nowhere, but it's not as if this was ever addressed because she could still mimic powers (see: her using five's time travel ability) - very limited use of powers, there were a few cool moments in episode 2 but ultimately it felt like there was no need to even get them back as they rarely showcased them (with the exception of five's getting them stuck) - klaus throwing his marigold onto a passing man but this never getting any exploration - never explaining why jennifer was in a giant squid - never explaining why jennifer got locked up in a safe - ben apparently never discussing with klaus how he died??? - ben and jennifer not realising that the entire motel had blown up around them including murdering flocks of birds and staff when they checked out? - entire five/lila plotline but also five figuring out how to leave and not saying anything when he has always been the first to want to get back and protect his family - lila apparently hating bracelets despite the fact that diego making lila a bracelet and it keeping them linked was such a big plotpoint it was used as a teaser in previous seasons (and the bead bracelet just disappearing) - lila being so intent on saving her family and the kids by sending them to the subway and on an alternative timeline but only one 'true' timeline can survive anyway which would erase the subway - the kids existing when the parents that created them don't - the entire show being for nothing in that the umbrellas do not even exist anymore

Come to think of it, Childe can transform into water and fly, as he did to leave the Golden House in the Liyue quest

Well, he has mastered multiple weapons so this is probably what he does as a Catalyst

Wonder what he’d be like using other weapons

this is a trend on twitter but I think it can still kinda work here

peeta did not perform his ass off in every interview for you to say katniss was lucy gray's revenge.

Dream SMP Descendants AU. I have like three different ideas for this, so…

Version one:

Isle kids consist of Wilbur, Techno, and Tommy.

Tommy is the son of the leader of a group known as The Organization, Clara, who rules with an iron fist.

However, the rest of the kids of the Organization and Tommy tend to run together, and they’re all a gang called Business Bay, that controls one of the dock areas. They’re also allies with Boffy, son of the Snow Queen.

Wilbur is the son of the Sky Gods, who were sealed for their malicious behavior, but used the last of their magic to create a heir.

Techno’s the son of the Blood God, who was sealed for causing war and bloodshed everywhere.

The two get along due to their ties to divinity. They’re both reluctantly fond of Tommy as well.

Anyway, Phil’s the king of the Antarctic Empire. When the three kids are taken from the Isle to be enrolled in Auradon, he offers to host them until school starts, since it’s summer. 

Tad bit awkward since the Organization was his antagonist to the throne, and the three are just wary in general, but he’s doing his best, trying to make them comfortable and ready for school.

Basically SBI based.

Version two:

Isle kids consist of Phil, Wilbur, Techno, Tommy, Bad, Dream, Ranboo, and Puffy.

Phil’s the son of Maleficent and Hades-the Angel of Death bit was too good to pass up, honestly, and now we can give him wings!

Dream and Ranboo are the sons of Dr.Facilier and the Queen of Hearts. Dream was born naturally, but Ranboo was created(blood from a man, tears the shadows weep, and the heart of a cardsmen) due to Facilier wanting a heir, and the Queen wasn’t willing to let him have Dream.

Tommy is either their half brother on the Queen’s side, the son of the Evil Queen, or the original queen that cursed the brothers in the tale of The Six Swans. Haven’t decided yet. 

Wilbur’s going to be his brother though, so he’ll also be the son of one of those. That, or the son of the Enchantress that cursed the Beast.

Puffy’s the daughter of Captain Hook, of course. 

Bad’s the son of the witch from Hansel and Gretel, as well as an unknown demon. 

Techno’s the son of Madam Mim and Hans.

The eight arrive to Auradon and discover that it’s not as free as it suggest, suppressing magic. Lucky for them, the students of Auradon have their ways around this problem, and are eager to welcome them all to the fold. 

Unique dynamics and everyone bonding and supporting each other while trying to figure out how to flip the entire system on it’s head.

Including George as the son of Sleeping Beauty, Quackity being part fae and forming a friendship with Philza, and Niki being a mermaid.

Version three:

Isle kids consist of Tommy, Tubbo, Purpled, and Ranboo. 

Purpled’s the son of Maleficent, Ranboo’s the son of Cruella and Dr. Facilier, Tubbo’s the son of the Evil Queen, and Tommy’s the son of Captain Hook.

They’re all very close to one another, even if they pretend otherwise. 

When they get sent to Auradon, everyone becomes attached soon after, and would probably die for these kids.

Purpled and Ranboo commonly run together, as do Tommy and Tubbo, Then Tubbo helps Ranboo, the two became friends, and the two groups join together, despite Purpled and Tommy being at odds.

They’d all literally kill for each other. 

Tubbo Underscore, Local Bee Anarchist!!

Design sketches of a dsmp roleswap au inspired by the rivalstwt discord!! My head is just spinning with this au, probably gonna have more art about it later!!! For context, Techno and Dream are swapped with Tubbo and Tommy, ergo, Bee Anarchist Tubbo!!!

rs!Tubbo is solemn and quiet, bubbly only occasionally with his family. He is more empathetic than canon Techno, and his relationship with his brother Dream is somewhat better that what canon Tommy and Techno have rn, as he actually understands why Dream would choose his friend over him (but he's blowing up the country anyway. It's doing his brother no favors to be attached to something so rotten.)
