Can I Propose An Au Idea? An Au Where Tubbo Dies In The Vault At The Hands Of Dream, And Finds Himself

Can I propose an au idea? An au where Tubbo dies in the vault at the hands of Dream, and finds himself in the past, when the sbi are all together, before entering the Dream SMP. He’s not the only one - Wilbur has also found himself in the past, although he only remembers up until the moment of his death.

The catch is that, sort of like Ghostbur, when they get to the past, they’re primarily driven by the opposite emotions that they had around the time of their death.

Wilbur, who had gone off the deep end, ends up much more like Ghostbur in the past. It’s not entirely the same, he hasn’t forgotten anything and doesn’t forget things, but he’s primarily driven by a want to keep his family happy and safe. And since he’s a living person, not a ghost, he’s still capable of feeling other emotions, changing and evolving.

Tubbo on the other hand, who stayed himself until the end, who spent his last moments comforting Tommy with a smile on his face, wakes up bitter and angry. He feels used, is furious that his own death was because no one thought of him as his own person, just as an extension of Tommy, and wants revenge on the people who killed him and made him suffer. And if people see him as a bad guy for it, well, at least they’ll be seeing him as a individual with agency at all.

Either they don’t realize that the other is in the past and are working around each other, or more interestingly, they realize that they’re both in the past, and Wilbur has to try and convince Tubbo not to ruin Phil and Techno (among others), since they haven’t done anything yet.

Healing shenanigans ensue?

Oh, this is interesting. Time travel AUs are always fun to work with, and this could go down several paths.

So both Wilbur and Tubbo end up in the past. Are they in a private home world? Smp Earth?

The others seeing the changes would be interesting too. Tommy is such a source of conflict, for both of them, but Tubbo especially. Wilbur can think back on his actions with a much clearer mind, and he regrets them, deeply.

Tubbo...well, Tommy’s his best friend. But like you said, everyone only saw him as an extension of Tommy. And in his last moments, as a way to hurt Tommy. The equal anger and guilt about being used like that...

God, all the SBI are going to get whiplash when dealing with the new Wilbur and Tubbo, but Tommy’s probably going to get the brunt of it, all things considered.

If they don’t realize they’re both in the past? Wilbur tries to pull his family together before they have the chance to fall apart. Does he succeed? Does he not? We could have SBI sticking together and maybe even joining the Dream Smp as a group, or coming sooner in the pogtopia arc, or maybe not even joining at all.

Tubbo could stay and plot, or he could just straight up run away, and the SBI could see him years later, as an entirely different person. In what way? Who knows. Maybe he healed in those years away, got a better life, set himself free. Maybe he grew more bitter, more angrier, more desperate to prove he was a person, and not just something to be tossed aside or used against others.

They realize they’re both in the past? Prime bonding material between Tubbo and Wilbur. Maybe Wilbur convinces Tubbo to hold off on making Phil and Techno’s lives hard on the condition that they actually change for the better, and it’s a visible change. Maybe Tubbo still ups and leaves, and Wilbur and the SBi chase after him.

We could have late night conversations between Tubbo and Wilbur, about their presidencies, and regrets, and Tommy. About how they could change things for the better, or just never get involved at all. Wilbur’s all for the former, and Tubbo preferring the latter.

Moral dilemmas between both parties, heartbreaking conversations, and their friends and family trying to piece together these people they’ve known all their lives, but who now seem so broken and different.

Bi Rep in the New Canon

So....worth pointing out.

Riot has stated that a League champion's sexuality is an inherent part of their character that doesn't change across different skinlines and AUs.

So, given SG Jinx has lines like "Lux makes even boring beautiful", the extremely sapphic Burning Bright video, the album cover, all of suqling's 'totally-not-canon-you-guys' SG comics, etc, we know she likes girls. Specifically Lux.

Lux seems interested in Ezreal in Battle Academia, Star Guardian (bleh) and the V-day skins, mostly ignores him in other skinlines and completely dismisses or doesn't even know him in the main one, and blushes at Sylas in one panel of the Lux comic before that crush comes crashing down permanently, so we know she does like guys. Even if it comes down to 'one het blush per AU'.

Lux is very affectionate with Jinx in Valoran Town, considers her to be her 'best and only friend' just like in Star Guardian, and is depicted in a few promo arts for both the show and for Wild Rift touching Jinx, hand on her waist, Jinx lying head on her lap or cuddling up to her and stealing cookies. They're hecking cute in the Wild Rift trailer and the Chinese New Year follow up too, just saying.

Ekko and Ezreal are dating in the Pulsefire universe. Just read the short story, and if that's not enough for you, the writer outright said after they left riot their intention was for them to be a couple in that universe. So they have the strongest 'bi-canon' going for them.

What I'm saying is that Jinx, Lux, Ekko and Ezreal are all canonically bisexual.

And the best way the Arcane canon could prove this is by, IDK, having Jinx fly to Demacia and kiss a light mage.

And Ekko maybe kiss a cute-but-annoying Piltie explorer.

Arcane gave us CaitVi, JayVik (sorry Christian I don't believe you buddy) AU timebomb, let's get Lightcannon and Ezko 😌🙏 complete the collection.

I don't make the rules.

you're laughing. The umbrella academy's final season destroyed every character's personal growth and semi-healed traumas, left huge plot-holes, completely abandoned some of it's most beloved side characters that were crucial in previous seasons and you're laugh-oh. You're crying. My bad. Go ahead. Let it out. Understandable.

ruan mei is apathetic and doesn't care: broke

ruan mei is so deeply traumatized by the loss of her parents that she never wants to experience grief or loss again, her general aloofness is a direct result of this trauma, her literal entire character and personality is a direct result of those she loved deeply as a child: pretty much spelled out in her character story, how are people misinterpreting her this badly. this isn't even a woke take, it's literally just canon, I just don't think you all care enough to read a character's story before doing an analysis

I'm loving Dungeon Meshi's mix of quasi-probable magical biological realism and "It's magic fuck you."

Red dragons swallow their prey whole and use the undigestible remains as fuel for their fire breath, which is lit by creating a spark with their tongue. Living armors are colonies of mollusks who expand and contract to mimic muscle movement. Actually "man-eating" plants is a misnomer, they catch small animals with a filament that retracts when touched and they use their decomposing prey as compost.

These mushrooms can turn you into a gnome. It's magic fuck you.

Personal Soulsborne Crushes: An Overview

Going by how I played these, but with the caveat I went back to each because I figured to be bi only at some point between Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring:

- Demon Souls: Yuria the Witch. The Maiden in Black is nice, but she didn't do anything crush-wise on me.

- Dark Souls: Priscilla. Priscilla. Priscilla. Also Beatrice the Witch and Quelana.

- Dark Souls 2: I am not immune to the Emerald Herald. At all. Also: Alsanna.

- Bloodborne: Lady Maria. Vicar Amelia. Ebrietas. Here my monsterfuckery is showing.

- Dark Souls 3: Firekeeper. Both versions of Anri. Sir Vilhelm. Karla, because witches, always.

- Elden Ring: Oh boy. Ranni big time (best witch!). Malenia. Melina. Malenia & Radagon. Fia. Blaidd. Maliketh. Latenna. Millicent.

Ok. This was all important info I had to share.

I saw a bunch of comments on this hilarious animatic of that funny clip where someone tells Ranboo to give Tubbo back to Tommy about them going to war over him, and honestly, that’s just so freaking funny.

So anyway, AU where Dream dies via Sam after bringing back Tommy and Wilbur, and everyone gets therapy, and tones things down. Ranboo and Tommy use the Hotel Rivalry as a disguise for the true war-the war for Tubbo. It involves trying to out gift each other, trying to bribe Michael, and many, many daily stealings of the Tubbo when he’s hanging out with one of them. At some point, other server members get involved, as well as people not from the server, because Tubbo has many siblings and father-figures, and they might as well join in, right? They have just as much right as anyone to try and win him over, and it looks like fun.

Tubbo’s just glad that they’re all bonding…even if getting snatched at least once a week is mildly irritating.
