Anyone Remember How Branch Can Seamlessly Adapt To Different Genres And Also How He Likes A Ton Of Them.

Assassin!Tubbo and Anarchist!Tommy AU

Basically, turning Tubbo’s presidency, things take a vastly different turn, when Purpled, already starting up his Assassin gig, and out gathering supplies, finds Tubbo collapsed from exhaustion in the woods. 

Feeling sympathy for the other boy, and recalling that he’s one of the few he really has a bond with, Purpled takes him back to his base, and the two talk things out while Tubbo rests.

He admits he’s been struggling, and how he wishes he wasn’t president. How he never wanted to have this weight on his shoulders, and he wants Tommy back. He’s tired, he says.

Purpled listens, and offers a solution-to help him disappear. And Tubbo doesn’t want to be selfish, doesn’t want to be cruel, but the other points out that maybe he deserves to be. Maybe, for once, he deserves to put his wants above others-because all he’s ever done is…well. Not.

By the end of the week, L’manberg’s third president is gone with the wind, only a single message left in his wake.

Tubbo_ fell from a high place. 

He doesn’t respawn in his bed in L’manberg. He doesn’t respawn at all. 

By the end of the month, he is presumed dead.

(And oh, how they whisper, about just why that is)

Tommy’s wail of grief lingers in the ears of all who heard it at the funeral, but what they don’t hear is the growing hatred for the country that has taken everything from him. His brothers, his disc, his happiness, his Tubbo.

He was lucky enough to get one brother back, and he might one day get his disc, but he can never have Wilbur, or Tubbo again. 

And L’manberg will burn for that.

Meanwhile, within a cavern that’s slowly turning into a home, the said to be dead president sheds his suit for something a little less likely to stain, and a little easier to kill in.

Featuring lots of Purpled & Tubbo friendship, as well as Sleepy Bois family bonding.

Bi Rep in the New Canon

So....worth pointing out.

Riot has stated that a League champion's sexuality is an inherent part of their character that doesn't change across different skinlines and AUs.

So, given SG Jinx has lines like "Lux makes even boring beautiful", the extremely sapphic Burning Bright video, the album cover, all of suqling's 'totally-not-canon-you-guys' SG comics, etc, we know she likes girls. Specifically Lux.

Lux seems interested in Ezreal in Battle Academia, Star Guardian (bleh) and the V-day skins, mostly ignores him in other skinlines and completely dismisses or doesn't even know him in the main one, and blushes at Sylas in one panel of the Lux comic before that crush comes crashing down permanently, so we know she does like guys. Even if it comes down to 'one het blush per AU'.

Lux is very affectionate with Jinx in Valoran Town, considers her to be her 'best and only friend' just like in Star Guardian, and is depicted in a few promo arts for both the show and for Wild Rift touching Jinx, hand on her waist, Jinx lying head on her lap or cuddling up to her and stealing cookies. They're hecking cute in the Wild Rift trailer and the Chinese New Year follow up too, just saying.

Ekko and Ezreal are dating in the Pulsefire universe. Just read the short story, and if that's not enough for you, the writer outright said after they left riot their intention was for them to be a couple in that universe. So they have the strongest 'bi-canon' going for them.

What I'm saying is that Jinx, Lux, Ekko and Ezreal are all canonically bisexual.

And the best way the Arcane canon could prove this is by, IDK, having Jinx fly to Demacia and kiss a light mage.

And Ekko maybe kiss a cute-but-annoying Piltie explorer.

Arcane gave us CaitVi, JayVik (sorry Christian I don't believe you buddy) AU timebomb, let's get Lightcannon and Ezko 😌🙏 complete the collection.

I don't make the rules.

Can I propose an au idea? An au where Tubbo dies in the vault at the hands of Dream, and finds himself in the past, when the sbi are all together, before entering the Dream SMP. He’s not the only one - Wilbur has also found himself in the past, although he only remembers up until the moment of his death.

The catch is that, sort of like Ghostbur, when they get to the past, they’re primarily driven by the opposite emotions that they had around the time of their death.

Wilbur, who had gone off the deep end, ends up much more like Ghostbur in the past. It’s not entirely the same, he hasn’t forgotten anything and doesn’t forget things, but he’s primarily driven by a want to keep his family happy and safe. And since he’s a living person, not a ghost, he’s still capable of feeling other emotions, changing and evolving.

Tubbo on the other hand, who stayed himself until the end, who spent his last moments comforting Tommy with a smile on his face, wakes up bitter and angry. He feels used, is furious that his own death was because no one thought of him as his own person, just as an extension of Tommy, and wants revenge on the people who killed him and made him suffer. And if people see him as a bad guy for it, well, at least they’ll be seeing him as a individual with agency at all.

Either they don’t realize that the other is in the past and are working around each other, or more interestingly, they realize that they’re both in the past, and Wilbur has to try and convince Tubbo not to ruin Phil and Techno (among others), since they haven’t done anything yet.

Healing shenanigans ensue?

Oh, this is interesting. Time travel AUs are always fun to work with, and this could go down several paths. 

So both Wilbur and Tubbo end up in the past. Are they in a private home world? Smp Earth?

The others seeing the changes would be interesting too. Tommy is such a source of conflict, for both of them, but Tubbo especially. Wilbur can think back on his actions with a much clearer mind, and he regrets them, deeply. 

Tubbo...well, Tommy’s his best friend. But like you said, everyone only saw him as an extension of Tommy. And in his last moments, as a way to hurt Tommy. The equal anger and guilt about being used like that...

God, all the SBI are going to get whiplash when dealing with the new Wilbur and Tubbo, but Tommy’s probably going to get the brunt of it, all things considered. 

If they don’t realize they’re both in the past? Wilbur tries to pull his family together before they have the chance to fall apart. Does he succeed? Does he not? We could have SBI sticking together and maybe even joining the Dream Smp as a group, or coming sooner in the pogtopia arc, or maybe not even joining at all.

Tubbo could stay and plot, or he could just straight up run away, and the SBI could see him years later, as an entirely different person. In what way? Who knows. Maybe he healed in those years away, got a better life, set himself free. Maybe he grew more bitter, more angrier, more desperate to prove he was a person, and not just something to be tossed aside or used against others.

They realize they’re both in the past? Prime bonding material between Tubbo and Wilbur. Maybe Wilbur convinces Tubbo to hold off on making Phil and Techno’s lives hard on the condition that they actually change for the better, and it’s a visible change. Maybe Tubbo still ups and leaves, and Wilbur and the SBi chase after him.

We could have late night conversations between Tubbo and Wilbur, about their presidencies, and regrets, and Tommy. About how they could change things for the better, or just never get involved at all. Wilbur’s all for the former, and Tubbo preferring the latter.

Moral dilemmas between both parties, heartbreaking conversations, and their friends and family trying to piece together these people they’ve known all their lives, but who now seem so broken and different.

Can I just say that when poor Jennifer appeared at the start of that episode from a squid, nobody in history could’ve convinced me that THAT squid wasn’t Ben.

I was SO 100% sure that Ben died because they were on a mission on a boat and a girl fell overboard and he jumped to save her but they couldn’t swim back up so he closed his eyes and became a squid to cover her until she was back up on the surface safe and sound. WHICH is really traumatic and would explain why it’s just called the Jennifer Incident.

(Whereas Sparrow Ben reached her underwater, realised he couldn’t save them both, and swam back up alone).

Bonus points if they’d already met somehow, since they totally implied Ben KNEW Jennifer since there were drawings and shit. Maybe even only Umbrella Ben knew Jennifer which is why he made that sacrifice.

Dont get me wrong I loved fighty, deny their father, Ben and I even liked Reginald shooting him (though not in front of them and wiping their minds that felt dumb). But I didn’t like Jennifer being in a fucking squid for no reason, or Ben being treated like he’s Umbrella Ben when he’s NOTTTTT

Tubbo also canonically has horns in the Dream SMP, so more differences between the two. Though the reason for the horns is unknown other than not being dadschlatt

When I said "At this point I am just straight up writing fanfiction," this is the post I was talking about.
