Shhhhh, quiet. We're near the Castle. What Castle? The Snow One! It's kind of hard to ignore even in the current st- Well, anyways. It is a former BEST team base and- you don't know what BEST team is!? Did you not listen during your history lessons? The youth these days...
Either way stay quiet. You don't want the White Widower to notice us do you? You don't believe in ghosts, you say, huh? Maybe you should give it a try and try to soothe him then. It is said that since his death he's been hanging around this ol' ruined castle. Murmurs and and cries and wailed "he loved me" always ringing out at night. At day one may hear "oh no!" Or laughter or sounds of battle.
Why don't I say his name, you ask, and let me tell you, you uneducated dimwit, that he is not avoided for nothing and that is one way to get his attention, but... Alright.
His name was Bdubs and the story had it that he lived among the first people in this land when the world only reached several chunks, the mythical barrier existed and all people were followed by a curse. In spite of everything he had a lover, whom he trusted with his life, but then. The lover failed and wasn't fast enough and He lost all his lives, fighting another Red One. The Red Ones told Him that the lover loves him not and with Lion's courage BdoubleO attacked.
Since his death... He followed the lover during his life, but afterwards he found himself tied to the Castle, while the lover has left the world, once again leaving Him behind, the Red Ones' words ringing once again through the castle. It is said the reason he's wailing is to outcry them, although he is unaware he's the only one left still here, with all the original settlers long gone.
Wh-why of course, we had tried seances, however they've long stopped and no new attempts had been made for the exact reason we do not want him to reach us. As you hadn't known the legend, I don't blame you for not knowing, however... That man has killed a wither almost all by himself. While his lover ran, he killed the wither, filling the lover with courage at once and making him turn back. The Widower received no fame nor glory, considering his lover was a more renown beast slayer, only being remembered that way after his death through the many legen- alright alright I'm getting to the point! So impatient. One would have thought even a punk like you would be amazed by a wither slayer!
Point is, winning a battle with the Wither leaves a mark on your spirit and as Bdubs died so soon after it had not had the chance to heal and so many things he touches wither and hurt like a wither rose would. Along with that, most of the castle is overgrown with wither roses growing over the ruins of the now fallen castle.
This got you interested, didn't it? I'm not going with you though, you can go with your friend... What's-his-name, who was so interested in ghosts of the Southlands on our last trip, which like I said there are none and your mother wouldn't appreciate you sneaking off to listen to a dead horses whi- SHH!
Look over there. Between the fallen wall and the overgrown bushes. He's here. All flowing and white with red stained moss. Not a good day for him, is it?
Dunno if anybody did this, but i’ve got a hermit!Fundy idea?
So going with one of the headcanons, Fundy used his shapeshifting to transition when he was younger, but because he was young and untrained, he just got stuck as a fox. He’s fine with that even if Wilbur PANICS when he finds out Fundy has no idea how to turn back into a human, cause Sally wasn’t there to teach Fundy shapeshifting and Wilbur has no fucking clue what to do now.
So they just chill and come to conclusion neither really mind this development that much.
Then, they move to Dream SMP. And really, that’s fine, but it seems like that’s when Fundy’s life went downhills real fast.
After marriage-gone-wrong Fundy did go to Cogchamp smp for a while to rest his mind and recover and everything, so that’s how Fundy knows once he’s back on the dream smp that he CAN in fact travel worlds even if Dream wants to control them like puppets.
And when Techno blows up L’Manburg, Dream is arrested and there’s some alien egg stuff going on, Fundy decides that yeah he definitely needs more of a break, he’s not mentally up for this and he contacts Iskall, who lets him join hermitc raft as a guest for a moment (was definitely inspired by Off-world vacations for the heartbroken and desperate by @ivi-prism go check that fic out it’s amazing)
So Fundy gets to recover there and soon enough, because of how close to the jungle Ren lives, Fundy meets Rendog.
Rendog, of course, is a dog shapeshifter/werewolf and he smelled out that “hey fundy’s one of us!” and starts chatting with Fundy and they make friends and then on one evening while sitting in the Cantina, Fundy tells Ren how he’s a shapeshifter (which Ren already knew) and how he’s stuck as a fox (that bit was kinda surprising though) and those news lead to a whole lot more revelations and backstory and stuff, but the key thing is.
Rendog teaches Fundy how to shapeshift :D
This could lead to many fluff moments of them figuring out how Fundy got stuck, undoing it, teaching our fox boy how to shift into all his appearances easily like a smol fox, human, human with foxy features or just a big fox walking on two legs.
A fox and a dog running through shopping district chasing after one of the Jellies, what will Scar do?
At the same time, Fundy prolly wouldn’t do that, since he loves cats, so maybe just playing with Jellie?
There’s just so many possibilities and i’m living for it.
Someone please stop me from writing the ghost tubbo idea i had a month ago to procrastinate on the dreamon au
Because like i had this AU and maybe if i write about it here it will stop me??? I can’t actually find the conversation on discord where i talked about it so i’m probably just gonna throw stuff here from memory and change half of it
Feel free to write a fanfic inspired by this, but 1. tag me 2. i’d appreciete if you credited the idea or at least said i inspired you ^^’
Ok so Tubbo died during the Festival. Like I don’t care if in this a Respawn!AU or Permadeath, irl or whatever. Tubbo doesn’t respawn and dies in Tommy’s arms.
Assuming it’s a world with Respawn, Tommy just waits for Tubbo’s body to disintegrate or whatever the bodies in this AU do, as Techno massacrates people in the background, he just repeats to himself something along the lines of “C-come on Tubbo! Respawn already!”, but his friend stays limp in his arms, growing cold.
In the end, they need to flee, like they did during the festival. Feel free to make Wilbur even more insane or evil whatever you prefer and make him leave the body saying either don’t take it, he’s a traitor, just like Eret or just it’s going to be a dead weight (ha, a pun!) (that was so inappropriate to the scene sorry ignore this), so they leave the body and it’s buried in the Manburg just like in the later Tommy’s stream where he zoomed onto the grave with a sign saying that here lies the traitor Tubbo.
But you can also make Tommy carry his dead friend’s body all the way to Pogtopia, anger and grief clashing, still in the denial stage, hoping Tubbo will come back. Like Tubbo dies all the time! He’s just such a clingy, clumsy big man right? He will come back, right?! Tommy rests Tubbo somewhere in the Pogtopia on a makeshift bed hoping it will make the healing faster and as Techno and Wilbur talk ‘downstairs’ he realizes something. Tubbo isn’t coming back. He would be back by now normally.
He’s shook to the core with the realization and shakingly goes down to Techno and Wilbur. The pit happens, but at the end, even after Techno’s speech about the language of violence, maybe Tommy snaps? Maybe Tommy yells how Tubbo isn’t coming back? Maybe the older men, practically brothers to Tommy, realise that Tubbo is nowhere to be seen? Maybe they realise the boy, the spy, the victim of the situation is dead? Maybe Niki stares and gasps in horror in the background and is the one who goes to Tommy first to comfort him and help him with the wounds from both the pit and the whole today? Maybe Wilbur stares in horror at his fists, realising he’s the one who put Tubbo in danger? He wanted Tubbo to do the speech, he made Tubbo run back and forth between the two leaders, maybe if he didn’t pressure Tubbo as much, Schlatt wouldn’t have noticed. Wilbur falls to the ground and sits with his head between the knees for a long time, wondering about what he did wrong.
Technoblade? He’s awkward and we all know it. He may be a god of PvP, the best farmer in Minecraft, but he’s still awkward. Of course he wants to comfort his little brother, but what can he really do? He’s at loss and still hasn’t fully accepted what he’s done. He killed Tubbo, but he had thought he’d respawn/survive(I really went at the beginning and said this can be also for permadeath au and then wrote it all about respawn au but whatcha gonna do huh).
Overall the tension in Pogtopia is high, but to be fair, so is Manburg. People didn’t know about the execution and (you know what im just gonna keep going as if the respawn au was planned) the brush with death, even if they respawned, was never pleasant. It’s even worse when they somehow find out Tubbo didn’t respawn. Some people are happy with the fact, others are in shock and grief.
And here can end chapter 1! Or at least it feels natural for me to cut off somewhere here! Idk really it all depends on your writing style. I'm not gonna dictate how you’re supposed to write idk myself neither.
Assuming Tommy took the body with him, he later goes on to the only place where Tubbo found peace. Where Tubbo went during the war, the only place where he wasn’t bothered, where he was safe and truly free, without a leader or a dictator over him. Tommy went to Tubbo’s jungle base.
He took the body with him, not letting anyone of Pogtopia know where he’s going, not wanting a Wilbur or a Technoblade, especially a Technoblade with him. He felt as though he needed to do this alone. He needed to make sure his friend, at least posthumously, gets the treatment he deserves. So he buried his best friend as he would bury a king.
Tommy spends the night at the jungle base and awakes at night, by a greenish blue light. It’s not too strong, but it’s just enough to be felt. He rubs at his eyes, trying to awake himself, to see if he’s not seeing this, but there it is. A will-o-wisp floating in the middle of the building. Tommy gets up, picks up his sword and carefully maneuvers around the wooden beams with a collapsed floor, he gets to the centre.
He gently cups his fingers and let’s the ember fall on his hands, but as soon as it touches them, there’s a bright flash and Tommy falls to the floor momentarily blinded. When he regains his sight he looks up and sees a ghost floating above him. Its back is turned to him, but he can tell it’s as confused as he is. But wait… He recognizes that shirt. It may be more bright and glowish, but…
“TUBBO” he screams in the dead of the night, the nature suddenly quieting. The spirit turns around with phantom tears in their eyes “,Tommy?” they whisper and that was the moment both of them were sure of each other’s identity.
Tommy rushes, tries to stand up and hug Tubbo, but he simply passes through the boy.
As disheartening as that was, Tommy is still overjoyed to see Tubbo alive. Or at least here, as they soon agree that he is in fact dead. Feel free to put a flashback here, a new paragraph or whatever maybe a new chapter from tubbos perspective.
The last thing Tubbo saw was a grim grin from Techno and a flash of blue and red fireworks. Here is a “how creative can you get” test! You can put somehow afterlife looks like, maybe something comes for Tubbo to go on, but he refuses? Maybe he sees nothing or everything is a blur? Maybe it was the last thing and the first thing he saw was Tommy’s crying face? Here is your free chappy for all the angst it can fit! Have fun go wild, turn on some sad music and let it ALL out!
Tubbo and Tommy talk for long and Tommy tells Tubbo the fallout of his death and Tubbo tells Tommy what happened from his perspective.
But here’s the funny thing, because I don’t know what you think, but… ghosts aren’t actually bound to places! They’re spirits they can go wherever they please! So Tubbo decided to stick around to Tommy. And as they travel and reach Pogtopia, they find out, Wilbur or Techno don’t see Tubbo. From a brief moment, where Tommy was sleeping and Tubbo broke away and went to see Manburg after the festival on his own eyes, he meets Schlatt and as he stops his breathing (he doesn’t need it, he’s dead, he just does it for comfort or out of habit), he’s scared, he think he’s noticed and waits for insults or a surprise or a sorry or a laugh, he feels something phase through him. Schlatt didn’t see him. Schlatt can’t see him.
After a number of tests Tommy and Tubbo settle it. The leader can’t see the spirit.
Niki can see him, it’s settled pretty much the day after Tommy came back, with a shout of fear and surprise and later happiness.
Quackity can see him as it’s settled, when Tommy meets him in the forest and Quackity aside from being scared shitless by a teenager with netherite armour, he sees a disoriented, glitchy ghost behind the teenager, floating creepily, lighting up the forest around them in a sickly cyan light.
Everyone can see Tubbo, but the people who caused his very death.
AND I’M DONE HERE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I CAN TRY TO THINK OF SOMETHING IF YOU ASK ME, BUT RN AS I’M WRITING THIS DOWN I DON’T KNOW.
Reminder, if you want to write this plz credit the idea <3 Also holy shit this hit 1831 words how.
A short drabble (366 words) that just wouldn’t leave my mind yesterday!
EDIT I've been corrected it's a ficlet. There you have it.
Festival through the eyes of the Blood God
The Blood God stared in boredom down at the land called by the mortals "Dream SMP". Curious, little mortals naming land like they own it, ignorant to the powers from beyond. Fickle, little beings. And for some reason, Its sole disciple has decided to join those beings in their games. Earlier It barely paid attention to those silly games with how little he gained for it, but then he joined. And things are bound to get interesting once the pig joins a party.
Or at least usually they do. Currently It was still bored, looking down as Its follower, Its rival and Its marionette played in the rain with other mortals waiting for a festival to happen. It thought that with the pig's arrival, It would finally have some fun. Some more power. But he is here mingling with mere, harmless humans. Pathetic. Using his blessed weapon, his trident not for war, but for games.
And from when It spent some time around a mortal, which goes by the name of Wilbur, It might have influenced it a little bit. Make him more bloodthirsty. Aggressive. Mad. If one of Its followers is a failure, why not find another puppet? Just slightly pull its strings and then leave it to hang as it is. From the time the deity spent around Wilbur, It knows that Its presence has left a mark. And blood will be spilt tonight if It can help it.
But... He could only travel as long as the rain was there. It stared in delight as the rain stopped falling by Its hand. No fun for little piggy tonight. Maybe this will teach him to not ignore It for so long. Falling behind his quests. Tsk. It had to go out of Its way and head down There to make sure he got what he needed, which has not happened in centuries.
Imagine Its delight when It saw the follower, the rival and the marionette go back to his old ways. So much blood shed. Finally the deity got what It deserved and craved. It might have had to pull some strings, but It will get what It wants. Blood for the Blood God.
I’ve had this idea like months ago, even before the election (and the last part during the election, so HAHAH HOW DID THAT TURN OUT HOO BOY) so like idk how to end it and don’t feel like writing it anymore. SO IM GONNA DROP ALL THE NOTES I WROTE IN THE PAST HERE!
feel free to write it, but plz tag me (a must! i want to reaaad!) and I’d appreciete it if you credit the idea ;w;
FUNDY AU WHERE WILBUR TAKES CARE OF FUNDY EVER SINCE FUNDY WAS A CHILD. FUNDY ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY WITH HIS DAD, BUT DAD NEVER HAD TIME TO PLAY WITH GIS SON
Always busy with planning this, writing that, meeting them and Fundy was lonely. Wilbur actually spent years planning revolution as soon as they moved to the Dream Kingdom, so Fundy grew up to the ideas of that, listening to dad behind the heavy wooden door, crying quietly clutching at his fox plushie.
As he reached his 19th birthday came, he joined the revolution. Fighting along his father, spending more time with him than he had in years. And after the victory they spent even more time together. And as annoyed as Fundy was that Wilbur only now acted like he had a son, babying Fundy and not letting him do stuff, he had a father finally.
But then soon later he throws himself into an election for L'manburg and he hardly sees him again and thinks to himself "Some things never change", but then looks outside his room in one of L'manburgs towers and stares at the setting sun and remembers a quote he once heard his father say to someone in his office. "if you want the change, make it happen" or something like that.
The next day he joins swag2020. Soon later he makes his own party of him and Nihachu, refusing to join his father once again, seeing how he's slowly turning into a tyrant, who'd do anything to get the seat, be elected. Why wouldn't He abandon L'manburg for the seat, if he has neglected his son for his goals already?
Wilbur is in the docks and take the fundy from Salmon's hands and holds the baby fox close. He watched the mermaid swim away not looking twice and dive only seeing one last sparkle of her scales on the sun, one last splash of her golden brown coloured tail and she's gone he takes the child and treats it to his best abilities, but once he has reached the age of 5, he went back to planning and working and everything for the best for his son.
He works his ass off every day, works does his best s overjoyed with every opportunity to meet his son and once they win the revolution. He creates a safe world for his son who proved himself during the revolution despite not needing to prove himself Wilbur stops seeing Salmon's hair in Fundy's fur after that. He stops seeing her smile in his grin and the mischief in his eyes. He sees Fundy for the first time in forever and hopes to establish a happy family with Niki and Fundy but peace cannot last long and he goes back to making sure his son will be safe, along with his new chosen family found family
So imagine both the pride and surprise and dissapointment when his son decided to compete against him.
The day of election, Wilbur sits nervously, his leg bouncing, waiting. The results are going to be out today. He was confident he'd win, but he knew something the others didn't...Swag and schlatt team. They should win, however... He just had a bad feeling. Niki told him she had a bad dream about today and it just keeps ringing silently, yet irritatingly in the back of his head.
Preparing his sheets, going through the pages, while trying not to look at the results just yet, he caught a glimpse at coconut2020 votes. And despite himself he smiled His son tried at least, but the false votes? Man, he didn't expect that from his son... But hey coconut2020 got so many votes anyways!
Truly like father like son, in no time will Fundy follow his steps and become a great politician perhaps...? Anyways, it's time to go on stage. From what he's seen Tommy and Tubbo were listening to the disks, just vibin' heh... He decided to let boys be boys for at least one more moment and just went forward alone. They'll meet there.
Now that i edit and copy and paste my notes I can see THE PART WHERE I CUT OFF DID NOT
IT DID NOT AGE WELL.
Here is where my notes cut off those months ago, but ideas do not stop you know.
So like, remember when Wilbur looked at his son tearing down the walls? When he heard his son deny any relation to him?
What if Fundy at first was bitter and a little happy to be out of his father’s control? What if he thought it to be a change for better rather than worse? What if he decided to be a spy only once he realised HOW BAD Schlatt is? Because while Wilbur neglected, Schlatt straight up abused.
I DON’T KNOW, GUYS, I’M JUST... BRAINROT ALL THE TIME I WOKE UP AT 2AM TODAY BECAUSE I HAD AN ANIMATIC IDEA THAT I FORGOT TO WRITE DOWN ANYWAYS.
