Talk about AU's/ Alt Timeline
Timeline alpha (not a tag)- When I refer to timeline alpha, I'm talking about the timeline that One Step Forward and Like Footprints on the Seashore take place in. In this timeline, Technoblade meets Phil at 14 and Wilbur has been dead since he was 8. Note: In general I do not count small resets done by Techno as separate timelines.
Timeline beta (not a tag)- When I refer to timeline beta, I am referring to everything set after the reset at the end of One Step Forward and Like Footprints on the Seashore. One More Step Out of the Pit takes place in this timeline.
#timeline alpha b- (Sometimes I call this timeline alpha.2) Timeline where Techno didn't reset everything at 20 and timeline beta never existed. Techno eventually meets up with Tommy and Tubbo living in the words as feral children. (Same location of the house in timeline beta)
#timeline beta villain tubbo au- what it says on the tin. During OMSOOTP Tubbo goes nuclear.
#timeline beta unmasked tommy au- SBI does not unmask Tommy. Tommy goes back to being a hero, but continues to get "accidently" kidnapped because they SBI are nice.
