Elf on the shelf where everything is the same except the elf is a 9-foot tall illidan stormrage

I saw a Fairy Tail AU, and thought “Wow, I can make that hurt a lot,” so here’s my own version.

Celestial Mage Tubbo has been pretty much raised by Celestial Spirit Wilbur and is best friends with Celestial Spirit Tommy. The two are the closest thing to a family he has.

(The Zodiac Spirits are replaced by the Chinese Zodiac, for reasons. Wilbur is the rabbit, Tommy is the dragon, Techno the pig, Schlatt the goat, ect)

At some point, he finds himself invited to the widely known Esempi Guild, run by Guild master Dream, which has a bit of a disaster-prone reputation, but eh. He’s always been the type to give out chances. So he goes.

Anyway, what this basically amounts to is the scene where Lucy has to break Aquarius’ key to summon the Spirit King, but it’s Tubbo with Wilbur’s key, forced to sacrifice the only parental figure he’s ever known to summon Philza, the equivalent of the Spirit King, knowing he’ll never get to see him again.

Extra angst in the option of him later trying to make Tommy made enough to leave him, because he knows that the other Spirit is torn between going back and finding his brother, and staying with his best friend, and decides it’ll be an easy decision to make if Tommy hates him-it’s not like it’d be undeserved, since he just destroyed Wilbur’s key.

to give you guys some hope here are things i liked about s4 umbrella academy:

diego and luther having a silly little adventure and just being brothers

viktor finally getting closure with reggie

allison getting claire back!!

gene and jean being the coolest fucking characters of s4, truly they reminded me of s1 tua with their quirkiness

the light shed on viktor and ben's relationship - and how viktor was so adamant in helping ben

like... ben is literally in the same position viktor was in s1. feeling misunderstood by his family, alone, confused, not accepted, being feared of. and viktor understands this completely because he's been in this exact situation before. (they could have emphasized this better but-)

LILA GETTING HER FAMILY BACK!!!!

diego knowing punjabi because that's the native tongue of lila's family

luther being his usually, silly, himbo self ("i'm a professional dancer!!!!")

diego doing That Thing with the bullets

lila's laser eyes??? badass af

the weird subway thing and five's deli with all the different fives (council of wells much?)

klaus getting kidnapped in true klaus fashion... AGAIN 😌

and some other things i cant remember

Sibling in Sonic

(Is this technically spoilers?)

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.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ARCANES ENDING BELOW:

Now, this is off topic for my blog but I'd like to shed light on something.

Arcanes ending. Namely the end of Jinx's character arc is what I believe to be one of the finest pieces of writing in the modern world with no exception. When Jinx is born at the end of 103 we see what happens to someone who heals wrong, we see the kind of monster they become when they aren't nurtured and given a proper environment to heal in. Powder becomes a monster known as Jinx who goes on to commit multiple acts of terrorism against Piltover. The way she feeds into this idea of being a monster as a way of lashing out at the pain she's felt from being "abandoned" by Vi is so incredibly realistic and relatable that it begs the question what has happened in the writers lives that allow them to understand such a transformation so thoroughly.

Then, at the end of season 1 we see Powder/Jinx finally embrace her new self with no more qualms about her identity, truly and finally one. Without any need to hold back anymore, she does something truly unforgivable and without redemption in the form of 9/11ing Piltover. Even in this moment though, she screams and cries in pain at how her old life is well and truly gone. The emotional turmoil of what she's done and what she's doing is too much to handle. To violently tear a new life out from the broken and beaten body of your old one is something no soul should have to do, but she does, and she makes it relatable.

Once we see her again in season 2, she has become much more lucid and comfortable in her own body as Jinx, the hallucinations have subsided for the most part and her inner turmoil is appropriately dealt with. Additionally she has a goal in mind now, she's chosen who she is and she knows what she wants to do: Kill Vi. The new life she has built for herself is purposeful, deliberate, no more a mish mash of two clashing ideals.

She wants to solidify her role as a monster once and for all, which ends in an epic battle between her and her sister, and at the very end of the fight right before she's taken out for good? A single soul sees the value in her life and risks everything to protect her. A child. Everyone, even Jinx is shocked by this because how could anyone ever love an ugly, broken thing like her? Let alone risk their life for her? The shock this instills in everyone buys Jinx enough time to escape with the kid, Isha. Imagine performing such horrible, inconceivable actions with no remorse and being full of such hatred, and then one person decides you're worth it. Just one person decides you are worthy of love and that they do love you and want you around. Can you imagine how that would shatter your world view? Being full of such self hatred and hatred for the world around you only to be shown warmth even in those times? This is exactly what happens to Jinx.

When we see her next, some time has passed, and she's even begun to drop the name Jinx. Her new friend, Isha, and her have begun a new life together and they look out for each other. The way Jinx describes her new life is "like I'm looking through glasses, except I can't tell if everything's blurry or clear." And what's clear to us as the audience is that Jinx is FINALLY healing. She is finally beginning to find some peace after all she has been through, and all it took was ONE soul, one singular person to love her even after all she had done. We go on to see her reunite with her sister, and somewhat with her father. We get to watch her slowly rebuild the life that was stolen from her and reconnect with those she lost, and those she hurt. This represents hope and change, rebirth and love, that maybe your sins aren't who you are. That you can change and love and be so wonderfully you with those who love you!

Isha dies. Isha, Jinx's anchor to the world, dies protecting her. Yet again Jinx loses everything. Her father is taken from her yet again in the process and the exact trauma that shaped her into Jinx is entirely recreated. Except, this time? There's no insanity. There's no hallucinations and mania. There's no rage or hate or flames or explosions or chaos or screaming. It's just sad. Nothing but sorrow fills Jinx up as she loses her one and only friend. She intends to kill herself at this point. She looks back at her life and sees how everyone she gets close to dies, gets hurt, or she in some way is preventing from being happy. That she alone is the perpetuator of a cycle of violence that has plagued her families lives for years and years. So she decides to give them closure. She tells Vi she can stop feeling bad for being happy and move on, she tells Cait she didn't know her Mom was in the explosion, and she leaves. Nothing more, just leaves. Doesn't tell anyone what she's going to do, she just does it. The intense guilt she feels is palpable in every breath she takes, it's clear she just wants to quietly leave this world without hurting anyone, just this once. Then the time finally comes, to end her life and finally be free of it all. Only to be stopped. One more remnant of her old life comes back and convinces her to stick around a little longer. Somehow, she agrees, but we all know that this is only temporary. The guilt someone feels after doing something so terrible, so unforgivable, can't be cleansed by a single conversation. She hates herself and just wants to stop hurting people, but she still has a small spark, something in her that has hope she can do good. So she delays her death to try one more time to be kind.

Next we see her, she's got a new look and is fighting alongside Vi, instead of against. She acknowledges their connection and at a pivotal moment, takes the fall. She saves her sisters life and "sacrifices" herself in the process. At the very last moment, she understands that there's another way out of her pain and hurting everyone around her instead of dying. She fakes her own death to everyone and escapes the country quietly. She tells no one and quietly escapes, with everyone having the closure of her death.

No more chasing her, no more thinking of what she might be plotting, no more hoping the old her will return. It's just over.

Her final action in Arcane is one of kindness, and healing to those she hurt. It is not redemption, but it is understanding. She accepts she is a bad person and may very well still hate herself, however she at the very least opens herself up to a new life far from those she hurt. And I think that's beautiful.

Anyway this is just my personal interpretation of the ending, I'm open to new ideas and down to discuss though! Btw I didn't proof read this so if it seems messed up anywhere that's why.

Plot:

Prince Tobias is the third prince of Pigeon, after Prince Dream, and Prince Eret. As the eldest, Dream has taken the throne in wake of their mother’s passing.

Shortly before her death, the Queen gave her children each a special gift to aid them in the times to come.

Dream was granted a special mask, made of porcelain, and baring a simple smiley-face on it’s surface. The mask is enchanted, hiding the wearer’s emotions and weaknesses from everyone around them. Perfect for diplomacy.

Eret was given a coat, of deep red and golden thread. It granted it’s wearer confidence, drawing attention to them, and giving them the strength of leadership. Perfect for leading.

And Tobias was given a bee plushie, warm and soft, that gave it’s holder hope, and reminded them of memories of joy and childhood. Perfect for a boy who’d have to be a hero.

When Dream took the throne, he started changing. Acting colder, and more power hungry. Uncaring for his people. His siblings soon realized that the mask had become corrupted, not merely hiding emotions and weaknesses, but making them vanish all together, turning their brother into an unfeeling tyrant.

After failing to get the mask off of him, Tobias fled the kingdom, desperate to find the mask’s maker, or anything to tell him how to fix it and save his brother. Eret remained, determined to help the kingdom as much as they could, and do damage control. Though reluctant to allow her little brother out alone, he realized it would be safer out there than in the kingdom at the moment, and helped him flee.

Very few had seen Tobias’s face, due to the late queen’s insistence upon not dragging her children into kingdom affairs until they were of age, so it wasn’t too hard for him to vanish. Eret sent a family friend his way, Jordan Sparklez, who helped him into Lilith, and established a cover story.

Tubbo Sparklez, a Lilith student returning home after traveling abroad to learn more about himself, just as his father had.

He soon meets Tommy Innit, a runaway from Apple Federal.

Tommy had always been an easy target for the other kids. He was always a bit too loud for the caretakers, and annoying to the other children. Not to mention his strange habits. Needless to say, Tommy often found himself being blamed for things he didn’t do, and punished for them. At fourteen, he was fed up with it.

So he ran. Packed his few things and bolted. Eventually found himself in Lilith, where he quite literally crashed into Tubbo, and despite the rough start, the two became quick friends.

Though Tommy still planned to travel, he decided to relax for a bit, and hang out with his new friend. Those plans were thrown astray when Pigeon attacked the town, and the two fled together.

The terrifying experience led to them agreeing to stick together and protect each other. Tubbo confesses he was searching for something, because his brother was in trouble, and Tommy decided to help him out. After some deliberation, they decided to head to Cloud, hoping to find some clues there.

From there, they meet Wilbur Soot, and eventually, Philza and Techno. The three end up sticking with them, all soon wrapped up in a complicated adventure as Tubbo searches for a way to save his brother, and the rest of the group find themselves facing things about themselves they never knew, and learning where they belong in this vast world.

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 think you need to go, Quackity.” Tubbo crossed his arms, Fundy hugging himself behind him, looking lost and off-kilter.

The duck hybrid barked a laugh, light and relaxed, even as he eyed the boy.

“C’mon Tubs, I need to talk to Fundy, it’ll just be a moment.” 

“You need to stay away from my nephew.” 

A pause. And then-

“Oh, Tubbo,” Quackity said, shaking his head at him. His tone was soft, and sympathetic as he continued, taking a step forward, arms loosely at his side. As though about to embrace him.

“I know you and Tommy were close, but, really. I don’t think it was that close. You’re his friend. Not his brother. Certainly not Wilbur’s-”

A bead of blood dribbled from the thin cut at his neck, a silver cutlass held to his throat. Tubbo’s eyes were hard.

“No,” He answered, clipped and frosty, “I’m Sally’s.” ————-

Or, AU where Sally and Wilbur fell in love as teenagers, and Tubbo was her younger brother. He became close with Tommy when she brought him over to Wilbur’s house so the two could hang out. When she passed away after having Fundy, Wilbur took him in.

Sally’s family were pirates. She left early on with a young Tubbo, wanting him to have a life outside of that to see his options, and met Wilbur when the two traveled through his town, and ended up sticking around. 

Tubbo originally tried to keep his distance because he knew Wilbur was grieving, and didn’t want to seem like he was back-seat parenting the single father. Then it was because Fundy was trying to prove himself, and seemed to hate being coddled. With everything going on after that, Tubbo stopped being able to spend as much time with him, much less protect him.

After Doomsday, that changed. He caught Fundy before he left, and gave him Sally’s old journal. Fundy followed her travels, and took the same roads himself. It was really good for him.

It does give him a few questions about Tubbo though. Why did he have his mother’s journal? And who’s Tobias?

Literally nobody but Wilbur and Tommy knew Tubbo was her younger brother. As far as everyone else was concerned, they just picked Tubbo up one day, no more, no less.

That changes when he catches wind of Quackity trying to manipulate his nephew, and steps in.
