Thoughts on emduo? Headcanons, scenarios, things you like?
(Also I'm headed to a job interview wish me luckkk)
YOU CANNOT GET ME MORE MESSED UP THAN THIS THESE TWO HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVE EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE LARP BOY WHO ONLY WATCHED COMPILATIONS ON YOUTUBE (i was like. 9. dont make fun of me. i was allowed to be a little larp boy. Except i only watched technoblade's potato war and potato war only. No any other videos of his. just the potato war. over and over again.)
There's so much i like about them and i'm just gonna spend an eternity and a half talking about them because that's just what i do. Even if i adore rivalsduo, potato duo, other duos that aren't regarding Techno, phistin, etc. I will FOREVER keep them in a special place in my heart. This is like the backstory before someone gives you the recipe omfg. So, important shit. One thing that's most notable about them is their dynamic (if that's what it's called), they just CLICK. I don't know how else to put it, you see them and they're just hanging out, you'll see them and they're thinking like one organism that can't read each other's minds but they're CLOSE ENOUGH. Also, The entire artic (snow biome) thingy?? Yeah. YEAH.
THIS IS HOW I LOOK WRITING ABOUT THEM. Okay. To not go on a ten hour rant. Im going to answer ye questions lad/lass/ladss or whatever else there is. My thoughts on them are that they're cool, that they click really well, that i'll kill myself because Phil was originally supposed to betray Techno further making Techno's point of telling dream that Dream was the only person who didn't try to use or betray him true, finding it cool how cTechno put Phil's stasis pearl in the water thingy first, etc. They're genuinely my favorites. Now, scenarios. I really, REALLY like them in modern settings. I don't know why but the thought of them being mundane and normal (even if Phil's, like, immortal and just as mundane as the latter) is hilarious to me. It's like two people with incredible potential supressing it because they either don't want all that (cTechno and his fear of peer pressure and, unmentioned, responsibilites and expectations), or because they're too tired to do that (cPhil, also the fact that he'd rather sit by and watch rather than intervening more than he's supposed to). What I also like is royal AUs where Techno's a God from far, far away fulfilling his destiny while Phil actively runs away from his destiny or whatever it is. I have not read passerine yet, no, so I won't be referencing it. I also really like villain-hero AUs but i've only found one oneshot that had c!phil be a villain and c!Techno a hero and they both were roommates but neither of them knew what the latter was and they were just trying to kill each other until they found out and that's all i can recall from that fic. HEADCANONS, boy, do i have a lot of those,
Cphil HATES olives and Ctechno HATES tomatoes (he would eat them if there was no way of avoiding it but he'd rather avoid them). They both just steal each other's foods that they don't like because they KNOW that the latter won't make an issue about it
CTechno NEEDS the warmth because of the cold so he usually stands close to any being around him (steve, the hounds, etc.) but Phil eventually makes him a blanket that he made because, IF YOUR CONSTANT TEMPERATURE IS SOMETHING, THE BLANKET WILL TRAP THE HEAT AND MAKE IT HIGHER THAN WHAT IT IS which would be comfortable to Techno
as a contrast, all crows LOVE playing in the snow for some reason. Phil likes the snow a lot more than Techno does even if Techno claims he's unbothered by it. The only issue is when the snow gets on top of a farm or something.
Techno ONLY listens to Phil's music taste because he's DEATHLY afraid of Phil going like "boy what the hell is this ts?? ts is cringe as fuck"
In addition to the last HC, Phil's music taste has started to grow on Techno and Techno can actually ENJOY music because the voices get a bit quieter whenever Phil's around and all.
Crows have this bonding activity called "laying" where they lay next to one another. I think you know where im going with this.
Techno is a big fan of Phil's hair because he's a piglin and all. And Phil's blond. Gold. Ousuushu goldddd...
They both use potatoes like you'd use bread. basically, most people who eat rice with every meal use use it like bread. Something's too overspiced? Rice. Well, in their case, they use potatoes because they can do that as well.
Yknow how Phil hums(ish?) while doing tasks that take a bit longer to finish? Yeah Techno once saw that and Phil wanted to bury himself into the ground until he realized that Techno does the same thing but just not as often
Phil is HEAVILY multilingual and Techno DIES every time Phil swears in another language.
AND, ADDITION. I don't really like the family sbi dynamic idk why. Also, people in fics are PRETTY worried about Techno more than Phil even if Techno is, in Phil's words, "controlled chaos" whilst Phil would burn a village just because he felt like it. Or go against the government because he was forced to kill his own son. Phil is FAR MORE CONCERNING than Techno is imo. Techno can actually acknowledge stuff while phils like "oh lol okay bye" in a way. I can't put it into words because IM STUPID and IM AN IDIOT but okay. Every time i see red and light green or dark green and pink, I think of them. (GOOD LUCK HOMEDAWG)
