this is a long one:
So this is a Wemmbu farlands AU with Theo and Lomedy and Firestar and this is a bit after Parrot becomes king (don’t know why or how Wemmbu got Theo and Lomedy but their protags must have done something)
Context: Lettuce was made into Parrots right hand thanks to Theo leaving. A coliseum/arena is made in the farlands but a good distance away from any Civs. Wemmbu trains Firestar and gets him 2 maces similar to Gambit and Crucible (for the enchants) but still personalized to Fire. (Maybe Theo trains him in carts?)
Okay so 5 years after Wemmbu left for the farlands without telling anyone a lot of important people get this random invitation to the tournaments 5th annual competition. And all the of the participants need to be in groups of three. So here they are (some of them just needed to fill a slot in their roster):
Flame, Mane, WyLL
Clown, Ferre, Sharpness
Minute, Jaden, Boosfer
Parrot, Lettuce, Horace
Spoke, Mapicc, Zam
Minemanner, Pangi, Lopezz
Fantst, Baablu, A random Chungie
Wemmbu, Theo, Firestar
(You can change up the groups to have them make more sense if need be, I’m not that familiar with all of them)
Wemmbu and his team call themselves exploding star since they’ve decided to go invis just to surprise everyone when their totems get popped. Wemmbu is wearing netherite armor with trims that are reminiscent of Lomedy. Theo and Fire wear netherite with Amethyst trims similar to Wemmbu.
Context again: Wemmbu is on good terms with JamatoP and Serpentbound now. Wemmbu and Theo have become the only ones to learn how to fly without an elytra or wind charges or rockets (they both have wings) due to how long they’ve been in the farlands for and since they are PvP focused. Close to one of the farland civs Lomedy had made himself a beautiful farm that is close to the for of thems house. (I don’t know where Egg is, maybe he’s left Wemmbu to become a philosopher) Theo and Wemmbu and Firestar have made themselves a training area for each of their needs + they also made a little place to take breaks at when needed.
Context continued: Wemmbu has ‘mellowed out’ but is still the same amazing dude, he’s just done some self reflecting in a healthy way. Theo and Lomedy both have crushes in Wemmbu but won’t act on them, partially due to Fire. Fire can tell when someone is into Wemmbu instantly, and once he clocks it he starts acting like a hissy cat (that’s how Theo and Lomedy know that the other has a crush on Wemmbu).
Unanswered questions and context: Would JamatoP and/or Serpentbound gain a crush on Wemmbu? Would those on the main server(ish) who already like him yearn for him more(distance makes the heart grow fonder)? I think Lettuce might like Wemmbu and is inwardly disgusted at how Parrot talks about him(Parrot slander for the win!). Would Flame go on another training arc or would he try and find Wemmbu again(maybe Lomedy too?)? Would rumors spread that Wemmbu died again?
Context again! : I think the tournament invite would say that the prize is either 1 orbital per winner (nuke or stab, winners choice), any item they want that can be reasonably acquired and given away, or any piece of info that the winner’s desires. I think many would hop on and agree to the tournament due to the info prize since many know Wemmbu has gone to the farlands a lot ‘so they would probably know where he is at’.
I think Wemmbu’s totem should pop during the finale. Fire was the first to pop, then the next round Theo is popped. Since this is a strange group everyone is curious about who their leader is (Lomedy is in the audience watching and invis) since no one saw Wemmbu leave with Lomedy and Theo when they originally ’went missing’ (that’s part of why Parrot doesn’t figure out that it’s Wemmbu) I also think they would hide their main fighting style till the finale, or just use a weaker version of their main to throw people off. Ex: Wemmbu uses a sword that he’s been training with, Theo with an axe, Fire with his indoor mace. Parrot also doesn’t figure out Wemmbu’s identity because he hates Wemmbu and thinks that Theo would never join him + he doesn’t know/remember when either of them ‘went missing’.
But once Wemmbu’s totem pops all hell breaks loose. All his suitors (those who lost are in the audience) short circuit and/or freak out about Wemmbu being alive and ‘RIGHT THERE!!’ Wemmbu would use the shock to overwhelm and defeat his opponents with Theo and Fire’s help. (think the tournament like the og one with the 3 totem stasis but no changing terrain). Once the final fight is done and before Wemmbu can claim his prize, he is hounded by his suitors with questions and more. Fire is the first to try and get them to back off, soon Theo is helping, then Lomedy to many people surprise.
:that’s all I’ve got, hope you enjoy!!

ARYRGH okay i lowkey lost half of my original thoughts because i read this when you first sent this and i couldnt answer because of !!!! school !!!! ☹️
i love the kind of idea that wemmbu is this. saving grace amongst the protagonists. she lowkey is the most normal (flame too probably, but i'd see wemmbu actually committing to self reflection and changing) (but who knows with flame's next arc!!) out of the four. and she doesnt treat her friends like total crap (anymore) !!
i imagine when wemmbu first set out to the farlands, she told her friends to not follow her, but didnt give any of them any explanation or where she was going (except egg, but they chose to stay behind because they are Not !! going through the farlands again 🙂↔️🙂↔️). but theo chooses to follow her (like in her first ep of season two !! i do not think he wouldve changed in that aspect) and somehow manages to convince lomedy to come with !!!! maybe this is how they find out about firestar ?? like wemmbu's been secretly going to the farlands monthly to train him and Now has finally decided she's gonna stay for a while and consistently train him.?
of course theo and lomedy are surprised she has a mentee!! so theo pops out and asks wemmbu whats going on and who this kid is !!?? and she explains fire being her student and how this has been going on for a few months now. i mean first she's lowkey angry that theo and lomedy followed her but Then she explains. and they explain why they followed her !! (smth smth not wanting to return to parrot ((ever)) and flame ((yet)) ). wemmbu decides they dont really mean any harm (probably) so she lets them watch one of her sparring matches with fire !! and from there, the fpur of them settle far (but not too far) into the farlands: wemmbu and theo now !! train firestar, while lomedy is very cool and content housewife (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) fire and his three parents..... i dont even have two what the flip.....
okay holy yap holy backstory 🥹🥹 ONTO THE MAIN PLOT OF THE ASK !!!!
the pvp tournament !!! no comments on teams because they arent the main focus (except maaayyybbeeee switch sharp for mugm instead ?? horrible uu clownferre and their child mugm)
wemmbu popping during the finale is such aura !!!! not only does she have differing trims than her teammates but that too ?? she went into retirement (kindaa ??) and decided "ykw im gonna aura farm". and her not popping the entire time !!! thats MAD aura there !!! three (potentially more idk ??) round of not a single totem pop is CRAZY i can tell everybody was hyped as hell to see who she was. this crazy pvper that doesnt let herself get low enough to pop ?? ik parrot wanted to hunt her identity like a HOUND (/hj)
