Two brothers and one braincell to share

An Ask Blog for the Wittebane brothers and their adventures on the Boiling Isles. Feel free to torment these idiots to your hearts content. [Asks Open!]

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Originally, I had planned to answer most of the asks that I didn’t get to in my absence on the blog or that I simply didn’t have the time to, however looking through how many there are I realise that is… very unrealistic. So I’ve decided to do a sort of clean out, especially considering most of the asks were to do in context of old shenanigans that occurred and my anxiety says it would be poor timing to answer those now, add to the fact there were a lot of those.

So, while I have a few I’d like to answer still, I’ve cleaned out a lot of them and, after months, the ask box is finally open again! Reminder that this blog is something I do in spare time and depends on motivation so whether the asks will be text or doodle responses varies, please bare with me on that!

And being as I’m going to replace the current pinned message with this, quick reminder that red is Philip and blue is Edward! (Other colours may come into play at some point, if certain characters decide to make brief cameos)

Anyways!

Edit: This is something I probably should have added on originally but it completely slipped my mind, so uh: Proshippers DNI, please. It’s not something I feel comfortable with at all and I will end up blocking for certain if I notice any blatant proship blogs interacting with this blog. Once again, just not something I feel comfortable with nor is it something I agree with.

I get what you're going through, I have sort of the same dilemnia with a fanfic I'm writing, it was always an AU but I was trying to stick with canon details as much as possible, but in light of new information I just couldn't see taking it the same place I was planning to before. Mine focuses more on Hunter, so that may change the approach slightly.

What I did is I went back and changed the things that I thought were too great of a contrast from canon, but trying to keep in mind why I was writing it in the first place, keeping the spirit of the original plan while incorporating more canon details as I moved forward.

Idk if any of this helps, but I totally get where you're coming from! It's hard writing it the same way when you have so much more information that can totally change the trajectory of the story, and the ideas that can come with it! Whatever you do, it'll be good, I wouldn't worry too much about it, either way.

This ask really did help me a lot!

I’ll likely do one massive info dump at some point of how things are gonna be, what’s changed etc, and all that stuff, likely using the basis of my wit and bane au (the au this ask blog was based on) rewrite.

I really appreciate hearing this, it helped narrow down what I want to do a bit more, so thank you!

(Also should probably say for activity stuff in general that my end of year exams are in like a week so I can’t promise any major activity, but I’ll do my best!)

[ask-the-wittebanes]

((Again my apologies for the lack of inactivity, while I’m aware this blog was always an AU interpretation, Hollow Mind has left me in a dilemma of what I actually want to do with this blog?

I don’t know if I want to keep the AU route or lean towards a more canon route, although technically I have rewrote the au to fit canon more and explore ideas… but I don’t just suddenly want to overhaul the blog? So you can imagine the absolute confusion I’m living in right now

I feel like answering an ask now would cement the route this blog is going to take and I really haven’t decided yet. I’d appreciate if anyone has any thoughts, but if not I’ll just… figure out a decision and update y’all on that? Not sure, I really did not think any of this through I do everything impulsively lmao

Philip being the Wittebane of my existence? More likely than you think!

[ask-the-wittebanes]

((Oh man this blog did not age well did it-

[ask-the-wittebanes]

(Bear with me on the Edward naming stuff. I admit I’ve grown somewhat attached the name Caleb thanks to using it among friends, but I’m still deciding if it’s better to wait for that name to be confirmed. Hm.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Hey Philip did you know that drawing glyphs on your arm lets you do special magic? You should try it.

Absolutely not, Philip don’t even think about-

I wasn’t going to.

… Really?

I’m not that foolish, brother. Putting glyphs on skin could be incredibly dangerous! It would take more than a stranger telling me to do it for me to actually listen anyway.

Would you do it for snails?

… Well-

Philip.

What? Money is money. We could finally pay back that debt we owe the Clawthorne sisters…

Aaaand now you’re thinking about it.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

...My sister just called Edward hot. What are your thoughts on that, Edward? (also Philip, what's your fav food?)

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time someone’s called him that. Upon finding out what it means… I don’t think he’ll ever recover. As for me, I don’t exactly have one. The food here is barely edible, and I mean that literally, we can’t digest a good portion of it. Back home there isn’t anything I’d consider a favourite either, though I am quite fond of honey, and perhaps honey cake the more I think about it…

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Hey Philip, what would you do if your brother died?

You lot have been asking some of the darkest questions lately- I’m almost concerned! I don’t know why I’d even give thought to something like that… I’d rather my brother not die at all thank you very much. I don’t think be able return home without him at side.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Hey uh Philip, what's your thoughts on sacrifices?

… Why do you ask? You lot aren’t planning on sacrificing anybody, are you?

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Edward, give Philip a razor plz.

You’ll be pleased to know that I eventually succeeded in the end. Thank you for informing me you… well, I suppose not all of you are terrible creatures after all.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

((Just a quick info thing because of the new episode!

This blog will mostly stay the same in terms of the characterisations as until we see a Philip when he was younger and still new to the isles, we can kind of interpret that any way we like! I’m leaning towards the interpretation that Philip started off with good intentions but slowly became the corrupt unhinged individual we meet so nothing really changes in that regard as that was my plan anyway.

There may be a few minor changes to some things but nothing too noticeable aside from lore changes and I haven’t really discussed my AU much in a while on my main blog anyway so wowkskskj

Await more Wittebane shenanigans soon!

[ask-the-wittebanes]

So, whole new world you're exploring, what kind of places have you come across? Any favourites?

[ask-the-wittebanes]

HI, Edward. What is the craziest thing Philip has ever done?

Where do I even begin? The list of utterly dangerous and insane things he’s done stretches miles- I don’t think I can even pick one as the worst! Though, I suppose he did try to jump off a cliff once claiming it was a ‘calculated risk’-

Which it was!

Yes, yes, If you say so. Now, I could argue that the worst thing he’s done was almost drown himself in Palm Lake. There a very bodies of water that don’t boil on the isles, and Palm Lake is one of them. I believe he had seen a young jackalope fall into the water unable to swim and stupidly dived in after it. ‘Course, he almost died himself and I had to recuse him, as I always do.

. . .

It really is a difficult choice to make, isn’t it?But, that is the unfortunate truth with my brother: he does so many reckless things that it becomes almost impossible to decide which ranks the highest in ‘crazy’

And all the redesigns are done: the Wittebane brothers and their dumbass friends. I wonder what crimes they will commit.

Many. Many crimes.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Reblogging the updated character designs so they’re here as well!

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Hey Edward, what are your thoughts on Flapjacks?

I sometimes wonder if he misses them more than he misses our parents.

Oh, don’t be daft, little brother. They’re a mediocre treat at best.

That you named your palisman after.

… I see your point.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

Hey Phillip what are your thoughts on clones?

You’re quite fortunate that my brother is busy with his research at the moment, or I’m afraid I’d have to inform Philip that someone - possibly one of you vile lot - accidentally fell into the Boiling Sea.

[ask-the-wittebanes]

What does Philip look like with pigtails?

To put it simply, I would rather not see my brother in pigtails again.

And I would like to avoid all mirrors if I’m ever put in that situation again. Besides…
