The prompt was ‘detention.’
I'm at a :.|:; for words.
AU where Tubbo is Bad’s nephew.
Bad is the child of Pestilence, and a demon of the royal family. He had two younger sisters, the twins Phoe and Demio.
Demio would venture out sooner than either of her other siblings, and come to feel an attraction for businessman Schlatt, when the two met during her time in the Overworld. They had a brief relationship that resulting in Tubbo.
Demio originally raised Tubbo herself, until an incident left her fatally wounded. Knowing she would die, she used the last of her time to get a three year old Tubbo to Schlatt’s doorstep, along with a letter to explain things to her family, though the latter wasn’t found until years later.
Three years later, his business would spiral, and Schlatt would abandon Tubbo on the side of the road, where the SBI would find him, and take him in.
Bad would eventually come to the mortal realm himself, looking for Demio. He would meet Skeppy, and the two become inseparable.
Bad eventually has Sapnap with a blaze hybrid, who abandons the child on his doorstep, and Skeppy helps him raise him.
Phoe would take the throne herself, not wanting her brother to be dragged back to it, and come to find she enjoyed leading her kingdom to victory and prosperity.
Jump a few years later, and the SMP is happening, but several things are different.
Sapnap is more careful with Tubbo. He feels a strange connection to the other, but believes it to be because Tubbo has diluted demon blood, and is unaware of their actual relation. He still takes his first life in the control room, but it was unintentional. Sapnap aimed for him under the belief that his demon blood would make him tougher.
Unfortunately for Sapnap, Tubbo takes mostly after his father, and didn’t inherit much from his mother besides an affinity for magic, her dark horns, and an enjoyment of chaos.
Bad figures out he’s Deimo’s child sometime after Doomsday, and promptly just about has a heart attack.
Demons under thirty are still considered nestlings(with Sapnap being an outlier), and Tubbo is barely seventeen, so it takes a great deal of effort to not just cart him off to a room in the mansion and keep him there so he can’t get hurt anymore.
Puffy is Schlatt’s sister, and that makes Dream and Foolish Tubbo’s cousins. Dream never realizes it. Foolish does, about a week after meeting him.
Younger Tubbo has multiple times just, completely unintentionally, shooed away the sickness from Tommy, and, on one occasion, Wilbur. He doesn’t even know he’s doing it, he just wanted it gone, and so it went.
Tommy hasn’t got sick for years because of this, but it’s not until his heritage comes to light that anyone makes the connection.
Techno only fought Tommy in the pit because after he killed Tubbo, the voices were in an uproar and uncontrollable. They only stopped when Tubbo said he forgave him, and Techno’s been wary of him ever since.
Pestilence is a very doting mother and grandmother, surprisingly.
Bad isn’t effected by the Egg. Tubbo still is, but it isn’t able to control him, which is why it acts so cruel to him instead.
Sapnap starts teaching Tubbo some magic as a way to bond, even before he knows they’re cousins.
Tubbo ends up being the source of a minor feud between both sides of the family. Long story short, both Bad and Puffy want custody, and Foolish and Sapnap are arguing over who’s his favorite cousin.
I like to think they hang out in the fort and Kinger tells stories about Queenie

hello trolls fandom
i think jinx is alive because otherwise it wouldn't make sense narratively. it would've been nasty, even.
this reminds me of the story arc of xiao in genshin impact. xiao is a character who doesn't see any worth in himself, he's a disposable weapon. he sacrificed his social life to his duty and would readily sacrifice himself, too. in one of the story quests he does exactly that, and gets saved by his father figure. and still to this day i see people who agree the developers should've let xiao died there because it would've shown the darker side of the game.
but why would that make sense? with both jinx or xiao, it would be such a bad tone to let the end of the openly suicidal character's arc be them succeeding in a suicide attempt, whether it's self sacrifice or not.
genshin devs made the statement of that quest that xiao is worth something and he needs to see it, and there always will be people ready to save and help him, and an attempt disguised as self sacrifice shouldn't be his first response. the same is applicable to jinx.
her ending overall makes sense. she had to be presumed dead so there aren't people chasing her trail, but she had to break the cycle by walking away. it's not the cycle of violence that many centrist stories about discrimination make, oh the two sides are just pointing fingers at each other and should just stop. because it's not what silco says. deaths following one another, people getting fed into the jaws of the system existed before, and this will continue. i think through the hallucination of silco jinx's mind arrives to the conclusion that the cycle of oppression is unbreakable for one person to try.
jinx isn't the one to stop it. jinx needs to walk away from all this pain. not because this is how oppression will stop, but because she just can't do anything else. wasteland sings how she wants to just rest. if death is like falling asleep, then she chooses death.
but writers choose to let her walk away in peace. because any other choice that isn't a happy ending would've shown that she was right all along when she tried to off herself. it's not a hopeful conclusion to her story, but in my opinion it makes sense.
