PINNED - ASK BLOG IS UP!!!

SO. Welcome to the official ask blog for Wilbur T. Hunter and Phoenix Anderson, featured in @taterswithranch’s Havoc and Homework AU! This blog is run by the two characters’ creator, @flurriethefox :D

Unfortunately, I can’t add a picture of Wilbur and Phoenix interacting, as the interaction will not look how I want it to, BUT I can still put this post up and will add the drawing once I actually get it done!

RULES

NO NSFW ASKS. Jokes are okay, just don’t go too far, and DO NOT ship the two. Phoenix is a minor, and while she and Wilbur are friends, they are not and will not be together.

I more than likely will not answer questions with drawings, and if I do, they will be very rare occasions, due to procrastination, too little time, and lack of motivation. However, I will try to answer any asks as soon as possible, usually the first time I see them. If not, please be patient :D

You can ask just about anything, there isn’t much that I won’t answer, so GO NUTS!!!

Any responses that are either not drawn or are in-character will be in colors:

Wilbur with a💧emoji and Phoenix with a 🔥 emoji!

That’s about it! You can ask anything lore wise, basic facts, stuff like that, doesn’t really matter! PLEASE go crazy with this, I’m practically begging /hj

I actually have two questions☝️

What were Wilbur and Phoenix's lowest points of their lives?

And has Wilbur ever swore? I know Phoenix probably does but how about Wilbur

Lowest as in…? Financially? As a person? Just generally doing horrible? I might need a little more elaboration than that, but for now we’re gonna go with financially cuz that kinda just brings everything with it, I think. We’re not gonna count their early childhoods, cuz we both know what’s going on there…

Wilbur’s lowest point was when he first arrived on land; he was nearing 14, had no connections on land, and the area that he arrived in didn’t really like his species. So he was broke, young, alone, and being discriminated against. Not great. He did eventually find someone that allowed him to stay in their shop and work for them. A fisherman, obviously; Wilbur’s sole source of food had been and still was fish. Of course someone wants to put those natural hunting skills to good use in a capitalist economy.

He ended up making enough that way to at least buy clothes and food. Then some social workers from further in the city (where his species isn’t discriminated against) showed up and took him to foster care.

Phoenix’s lowest point was probably after she emancipated herself but before her brother took her in; her father deceased, her mother abusive, no longer in foster care at the age of 16. And no clue where her brother was.

Then there’s the fact that her powers act up a little when she’s scared. So a lot of fires happened before she found Griffin. Or he found her; very easily to find someone who keeps setting fires everywhere they go.

Phoenix does swear, that’s true. Wilbur doesn’t do it often, but he will sometimes. Mostly when he’s frustrated or alarmed or startled. Something along those lines.

He really just finds it to be an outlet. It’s one of the reasons he doesn’t angry much.

[wilnix-qna]

What are Wilbur and Phoenix's biggest flaws (personality wise)?

Phoenix is easy: she’s very anxious (typical bird behavior) and has a short fuse. Sometimes they clash or both are triggered at the same time, and things get a little out of hand. That’s how she ended up burning some stuff in a class room; she’d gotten angry at her project partner and had accidentally set a shit ton of paper on fire, which not only caused the fire alarm to go off, but also embarrassed her. A lot.

Wilbur isn’t very good at hiding some feelings. Despite being a very social person, he can’t mask anger and some other strong emotions like other people can. It’s very clear when he doesn’t like someone or something. It’s led to some issues. A good bit of issues.

You can usually tell which coworkers he dislikes because he becomes a lot colder toward them almost instantly. And that’s saying something, since he’s usually very bright and optimistic.

also i would appreciate if people reblogged this, its a really frustrating issue

I think the havoc and homework thing is dead but I just wanted to ask

What is Wilbur's relationship like with his sister, and what is Phoenix's relationship like with her brother?

Honestly I think the same thing, but I’ve got a similar idea I’ve been working on (might talk about it, might not, we’ll see).

Anyway, Wilbur’s relationship with Shelby is really good; she’s the only reason he goes back to the ocean frequently, actually. If it weren’t for her, he’d probably only go back twice a year, maybe. He’s also pretty protective of her, cuz, if you remember, their parents were abusive. He took basically every punishment she would’ve gotten that his parents gave out. So yeah, they have a great relationship. Sometimes they’ll go out and collect seashells to decorate his house with. Y’know, remind him of home (not the bad home).

Despite how Phoenix acts, she loves her brother. He’s the only one that’s been there for her throughout everything. Griffin has acted as her guardian ever since he could, so while she does hate how he sometimes acts like her parent and not her brother, she’s grateful to have him; she doesn’t know nor does she want to know where she’d be without them.

Believe it or not, Phoenix actually likes cuddling with Griff. Whenever he wraps his wings around her, the heat that radiates from hers (she is a phoenix hybrid) gets trapped, and it feels nice for both of them.

[wilnix-qna]

Does Wilbur have a favorite music genre?

How about Phoenix?

Wilbur’s varies a lot; sometimes it’s rock, sometimes something more jazzy, others it’s pop, and occasionally it’s country. It’s very hard for him to pick a favorite. He loves music, period. That’s it. The only thing he doesn’t really count as music is metal/heavy metal; that’s just screaming into a mic with music behind you.

Phoenix, however, is a very simple avian: Rock. Not hard rock, not metal, not alternative (I get that confused sometimes). Just regular old rock. For example, Stick It To The Man from School of Rock: The Musical (sung by Alex Brightman, same guy that voices Adam in Hazbin Hotel and Beetlejuice in the Beetlejuice Musical).

She does like some other types of music though; whenever she’s irritated or stressed or just generally upset, she’ll listen to calmer musics, like Rises the Moon cover by maruwhat or Since I Saw Vienna by Wilbur Soot. And anything mixed with rock (since everyone is doing that nowadays). Pop-rock, country-rock, I’m-running-out-of-genres-rock. That kinda stuff.

And they both love indie pop things.

[wilnix-qna]

When Wilbur left the ocean, did his parents know or did he kinda just leave?

He just up and left. Middle of the night, hardly any planning, and a slight bit of hesitation before bolting out the “window” of the little cave that was his family’s house.

His parents were pissed when they found out that he’d left, not because they cared, but because their reputations would be on the line; they were high in the social ranks of the hierarchy of the ocean, so their kid just up and disappearing in the middle of the night does not make a good impression.

[wilnix-qna]

Has Wilbur ever talked to his parents since he left the ocean?

I’m so sorry for being so late to these asks, I’ve completely forgotten and have been busy with school lately, again, very sorry.

Anyway, if Wil has talked to his parents, it’s been brief and it’s been them trying to contact him. He’s not sure why, since they obviously haven’t changed, but the working theory is that their parent-friends have found out that they were dicks to their kids. His father even almost outright said it. Kinda like how Ares hinted at dreaming in the first Percy Jackson book (been on a reading spree sorry for unexpected reference) even though no one said anything about dreaming.

Again, I’m so very extremely sorry about being so late to these, I’m going through all of my asks and finally answering the majority of them, since I’ve finally gotten back into the Tumblr picture. I’ve been taking a break for a while, no?

Have a good day/night :)

[wilnix-qna]

In an ask you said that Phoenix's parents "weren't that great"

What do you mean by "weren't"

Does she just not live with them or, are they dead, or something like that

I’m about to answer a few asks cuz I’ve been putting these off out of laziness I’m sorry

When she was nearing her fourteenth birthday, Phoenix was put into foster care by CPS. Her father died from disease, and her mother was abusive (emotionally and physically) and controlling. The only reason she got away with it for so long was cuz she was careful not to leave scars or do too much damage, especially not somewhere that someone would be able to see by some casual movement.

Once Phoenix turned sixteen, she was legally allowed to emancipate herself, and since there wasn’t really anyone to fight in court against to emancipate herself, she was approved and now doesn’t need to remain in the foster system.

However, in an alternate timeline, Wilbur is a registered foster parent ;)

this is also very random but would Pheonix like horror movies?

how about Wilbur?

CRAP I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE IM SO SORRY LVISUDKAVDUDH

Uhhhhh, I think Phoenix might. Nothing too scary, usually just something that’ll make ya jump a few times, but she’d probably like certain horror movies.

Wilbur is more a thriller movie kinda guy. He’s jumpy when it comes to the horror horror movies. Gore is fine, that doesn’t bother him, but like, you put him in a dark room with just a horror movie to watch you’ll probably find him hiding under a blanket in the corner in the first ten minutes just cuz he knows what’s happening.

Happy Holidays, btw :3

[wilnix-qna]

This is so random but can Phoenix drive?

You know since she's 17

So I saw this last night and have spent all day thinking about it, and I have come to this conclusion:

No, Phoenix can’t drive, and for multiple reasons.

Reason 1 being that it’s very difficult for her to fit in a car, since her wings are huge. Back seat, sure, but with the limited space up front, she wouldn’t be able to look in the rear view mirror, let alone fit in there.

Reason 2 being she was never actually taught what anything in a car does. Like, she knows the steering wheel and the gear shift and stuff, but “where the hell is the blinker?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘push the lever down?!’”

She usually just flys wherever she needs to go. She also takes the bus to school sometimes.

[wilnix-qna]

So uh, I'm the same anon who asked that last question but does Wilbur still go into the ocean occasionally?

Welcome back then :)

Yes, he sometimes goes to visit his sister. Other times it’s just for fun, or to get some alone time. It’s like a safe place for him, if that makes sense.

However he does stay away a little longer during fishing season. I don’t think I have to explain why.

[wilnix-qna]

Despite the fact that it's difficult to get Wilbur angry, has he ever gotten angry?

Oooooo that is a very good question

Yes, but only twice. I’m pretty sure I’ve said somewhere that Wilbur is picky with his students, but if not, then now I have. He’s picky about diction, dynamics, posture, tone, all of it.

Now this wasn’t actually his students’ fault, it’s more on Wilbur. Wilbur has perfect pitch, meaning he knows exactly what a note should sound like and if something is out of tune. The problem here is that the students he was working with - in the lower grades - were all out of tune. Which is very irritating when you have perfect pitch. He ended up having to take about five minutes to regain his composure. The second time was involving his family, but we’re not going too deep into that, so here’s a summary:

Wilbur and his parents were arguing, the main topic being whether or not Wilbur was going onto land (since this takes place in his teenage years). His parents are trying to force him to stay cuz “parental authority” and stuff. And Wilbur snapped.

Let’s just say his parents never argued with him about something that big again.
