Welcome To The Space Age, Ladies And Gentlemen

Can we talk about—for a sec—the fact that the plot line about the siblings losing their memories of Ben's death makes no sense in regards to previous seasons?

The lines that they were supposedly fed by Reginald, as revealed in season 4, are that "nobody was responsible".

But in S2 E10, in the opening scene of Ben's funeral, Reginald directly blames them and states that they "allowed" Ben to die on the mission.

Them retconning it is so much less interesting than if it actually WAS the UA's fault that he died, to some extent. Ben's death was the final nail in the coffin for the UA, causing them to split up. It's not a stretch to say that the guilt was what did it in the end.

Idk. I won't lie, I literally gasped when Jennifer and Ben got shot and it was shown that it was Reginald—and that shot of their corpses as the title card is fucking GORGEOUS—but I don't think a lot of this season was thought out in regards to the other seasons. This is just one of many problems such as inconsistencies, plot holes, character assassinations, etc.

Wait a second, Irish Man playing Hollow Knight. RTGame? Love them. Anyway, love all the AUs that people have made for the Dream SMP.

To be fair, fundy storyline was that he was like a Phoenix and reborn from a young age for his first canon life loss, so there was a Fundy from before, but well, they always said is harder to people to get out of something you were born in than not

O MAYBE THAT DREAM AMMNESIA THING IS HIS OLDER SELF TRYING TO GET HIM TO WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING but XD never let him outright say it so he has to get mysterious while being hunted in dream plan by this God that get ideas from what happens in this realm and translates it to to history. That's why he words it like it's a Fundy ability and because Fundy too can access and mess with this realm too

And maybe because Fundy knows deeply about this world and its tricks and how to change it and explore it at his favour XD had to make it like he was born from this history and not was trow in it, but of cource the fox boy finds the glitches and edit things on his own so to busy him XD trow to him too a lots of angst to deal with

...I like Fundy a normal amount shut up

Oh wow I’m very behind on Fundy lore. I’ve been so focused on Jack Lore and an Irish Man playing Hollow Knight that I forgot to see the other lore.

Anyways. Oh boy. The dreams being his older self trying to get him to wake up and see what’s happening? Oh no. Oh dear. Now Fundy is freaking the hell out with this. And Fundy also has a lot of angst in this to nerf him or else he’ll be too powerful.

AU where Dream and Tubbo are siblings, and Dream convinces Tubbo he’s doing all that bad stuff for the sake of the SMP, and gets Tubbo to help him out.

By the time Tubbo is aware of what his brother’s really doing, which is not the much nicer version he’s been told, he’s too scared to leave, having long since been convinced that everybody else would kill him in a heartbeat. 

Once his brother is put in jail, Tubbo, who’d been watching from a hidey hole, and really didn’t want any part of this, was teleported out by XD. Why the deity did so, he’s uncertain, but he did. Teleported way out to some distant snowy biome with a few spruce trees, where Tubbo was, essentially, stranded.

He thinks it might be for the best, honestly. He’s not exactly on great terms with everybody. 

Purpled kind of has the role of Tommy’s best friend here, because Dream was lowkey an overprotective brother before he decided to be evil instead, and insisted Tubbo wear a protective mask, and keep away from everybody. So, they definitely all think he’s a lot older than he actually is. 

The only ones who have any idea are Bad, George, and Sapnap. Bad’s possessed by the Egg, Dream convinced Sapnap Tubbo was all for it, and George…George has been a bit occupied in Dreamland. 

Purpled being Tommy’s friend changed quite a bit, actually. He was never part of L’manberg, but he fought with them, and helped out. And when Tommy was exiled by Fundy, after he managed to find the place(it took him awhile, with Dream throwing him off and distracting him), he got Tommy out of there.

The two eventually ran across Techno while hiding from Dream, and both he and Phil were not happy to hear what Dream had been doing to their youngest. 

So they take Tommy in, and he ends up sticking with them, along with Purpled, and eventually Ranboo, who they invite to join them on Doomsday, and he agrees, because he’s been having a hard time in L’manberg, not having too many allies. 

The Syndicate helps imprison Dream. They’re aware of Ranboo’s enderwalking problems, and trying to help.

What they don’t know is that when Enderboo isn’t forced under Dream’s command, he’s actually very chill, and also, very, very fond of Tubbo, who’s always nice to him, and, occasionally, when his brother wasn’t around, would goof off with him. 

Enderboo leaves a lot of semi-cryptic messages for Ranboo that basically amount to ‘please go check on Tubbo, I’m very worried, and I don’t think he’s eating’ or something similar. Unfortunately, Ranboo never figures out what they mean, and just gets really freaked out instead. 

Tubbo has accidentally adopted a piglin child with Enderboo-I mean, he assumes that’s what’s going on, he’s not entirely sure. Enderboo kind of just dropped the child off, and now they’re raising him?? Very confusing, but Tubbo kind of enjoys the company.

Basically Tubbo just being sad in his cozy spruce cottage, Enderboo being that one stray cat that keeps adopting things, and everyone else having no idea what’s going on, but misunderstanding just about everything.

Brotherhood AU

Branch design by @elijah-doodle ?

AU where the family dynamics get swapped around. Tubbo, Eret, and Dream are raised by Philza. Tommy, Wilbur, Ranboo, and Techno are raised by Captain Sparklez. George and Quackity are raised by Puffy. Sapnap is raised by Sam.

I have confused myself, but those are the basics of it.

Though Dream is more of a speedrunner that a outright fighter, he and Phil share a need to wander, so they often left home together to explore and travel. 

This leaves Eret, the oldest, to stay and raise Tubbo alone, along with a young fox hybrid, Fundy, who they found abandoned by a creek. Luckily, the responsibility doesn’t manage to wear them down too much before they befriend a man named Foolish, who becomes a great help to her. 

Tommy, and Wilbur are just chilling, sailing the seas and getting many, many shiny treasures for their collections. 

Eret and Foolish were friends. Eret died in a battle though, and got reincarnated as Tubbo and Dream’s sibling. Foolish found them again, as he always does. 

Fundy’s still Wilbur’s kid, it’s just that neither of them know that for a long while. Sally was a siren, who tried to find Wilbur to give him Fundy, but was unable to, and knowing her child wouldn’t be able to survive at sea, left him by the creek where she knew people passed by everyday, before leaving.

When Sparklez was called away on a mission, Wilbur was often the one to watch Tommy and Ranboo. Though Tommy already considered him a brother, a young Ranboo came to see him as something of a parental figure-this leads to some tension between him and Fundy in the future.

Wilbur and Techno follow Dianite, and Tommy and Ranboo follow Ianite.

Events pretty much continue on as canon, except changed by the different relationships and lifestyles they’ve all lived. 

Example: Dream still creates the Smp. Eret and Tubbo still join L’manberg. Eret still betrays them-but here are some changes. Eret betrays them because he wants some of her older brother’s approval, just to be a bit as powerful as him for once, and have him respect her. In the Final Control Room, Punz and Eret grab Tubbo and Fundy, restraining them while the others are killed, much to their horror.

They basically end up stuck in the castle for a week, while their siblings try to convince them of it, until Tommy and Wilbur sneak in and steal them back to L’manberg.

They don’t blame the two for it, after all. It was easy to see the confusion and fear on their faces when it all went down, they obviously weren’t aware of it, and if they didn’t blame them for Dream’s decisions before, why would they blame them for Eret’s now?

Wilbur eventually gets consumed by chaos, weak from stress and his decline, and ends up blowing up L’manberg. Sparklez comes, senses the internal unbalance, and knocks him out when Wilbur tries to get him to kill him-he drags the twins to a nice, warm island, builds a house, and helps them heal.

Tubbo doesn’t lose a second life to Techno, he loses it to Schlatt, who gets annoyed when Techno hesitates and does the job himself 

Foolish honestly has very little idea with how to deal with mortals, so he just kind of treated Tubbo and Fundy how he would Eret, but with a lot more caution and care-because they’re so tiny and curious, he’s terrified he’s accidentally going to hurt them. 

This basically results in them knowing a lot of things they shouldn’t-which, in his defense, was exactly how he got Eret to take care of themselves-they did healthy stuff and rested well, and he’d teach them neat tricks or some secret knowledge in turn. Bribery works great…in theory.

In practice, giving two small children knowledge of the dark arts hasn’t turned out too well. Weird. 

The SBI basically kind of steals Tubbo and Fundy. They just…take ‘em. Once Eret gets himself together again, and redeems himself, they share with her too, but previous to that, Tubbo and Fundy are no longer their’s, they will now be joining the pirate crew.

Y’know what? I kind of want a fic where Snowchester’s just…filled with strange beings. Charlie and Foolish are gods, Jack is either some kind of demonic entity, transformed after his stay in hell, or willingly possessed and co-existing with whatever’s doing it. Puffy could be some sea deity or siren, or something. 

And maybe they’re trying to hide it, maybe they aren’t. Either way, Tubbo doesn’t notice. Charlie holding a conversation with the bees? Cool, he does that too. Foolish has almost abnormal amounts of Totems? Hah hah, man must seriously grind, huh? Jack staring ominously into the flames and them randomly turning red or blue. Oh, wow, he sure is thinking intently. How’d he get the fire to turn into soul fire? Tubbo totally has to ask later, that was cool. Puffy randomly giving cryptic warnings about not going out to sea, and it starts storming super badly later? Huh, being a captain sure is handy!

Maybe even Michael just like leaving mysterious little trinkets in Tubbo’s room along with strange symbols drawn in crayon and looking at him with eyes far too old for a child, and Tubbo just…picking him up for his nap, thanking him for the drawings.

Snowchester’s just this…little odd town down by the snowy sea. Some rumors start to spread. Some people start getting shivers passing by that don’t have anything to do with the cold. Strange things start happening around. It becomes one of those things.

But that’s for a bit of a spooky vibe. For a funnier one, everyone thinks Tubbo’s the weird being, since it always happens around him, and he’s completely oblivious to this. Techno looked at Tubbo slightly menacingly and he’s had bad luck ever since. Tommy suddenly isn’t getting attacked by mobs. Bad tried to corner Tubbo with the egg and not only caught on fire, but found all of his valuables missing the next day. 

Obviously, it must be Tubbo, who else could it possibly be? Certainly not the slightly protective people who live with him after he gave them a home.

Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking.
