Sibling In Sonic

They say odd things always happen more on a full moon-for the young of the Smp, this has unfortunately made itself true, as they begin waking up in strange places with no memory of the night before, and with a growing abundance of strange instincts they don’t know how to sate. 

Or, after a blood moon, Tubbo, Tommy, Ranboo, Purpled, and Fundy all get their more…inhuman heritage triggered. The issue is, none of them are aware of said heritage, and while it’s typically slow to emerge, full moons send all that heritage racing to the surface, shoving anything human deep under until morning. 

You can imagine how this causes some problems, right?

Tubbo is a siren, and his residence in Snowchester has effected his siren biology, turning his hair pale blond and light grey, and giving him a tail that spends in with the ice and snow surrounding the sea. 

Purpled is either a werewolf or a selkie, I’m unsure. Werewolf would mean he could run around with his dog army, but Selkie would mean he goes in the water with Tubbo, so. I kind of like kelpie for him too…

Tommy, I’m going for Tanuki. It’s a raccoon known for mischief, which, y’know. Raccoon boy.

Fundy is a kitsune, like his mother. 

And Ranboo, jersey devil, grimm, or dragon.

Both Fundy and Tommy keep getting stuck in places that are either really small, or have small entrances-because, well. Their more feral selves keep shapeshifting to get where they want to, and unfortunately, they’re more aware selves don’t know how to do that. 

Purpled starts hanging the group more, and feels very weird about leaving. Both wolves and seals are group-oriented creatures, so he’s associating the other creatures similar to him as his group, and will get defensive of them. 

Tubbo gets weird urges to sing and hum more, and when Techno was looking through Snowchester, he had the sudden urge to drown him-it randomly just came out of nowhere, and he had to stop himself from shoving the piglin into the lake, or hissing at him.

Ranboo is probably very territorial over a place, no matter what he is, all things considered. 

Basically just Fundy and the minors being really confused, but not nearly as much as the rest of the Smp when they have the misfortune to run into these guys on a full moon, because that’s equally bewildering and terrifying, depending on who they meet.

Witches. Named after witches for their shared skill in brewery that no normal Player could master, but there was a difference between a witch, and a Witch.

Witches were beings that had learned to duplicate the powers of an admin, able to manipulate the natural world beyond a Player’s natural ability, to defy the laws of physics, and harness magic and potions beyond anything ever seen. Loved by the void, and all the oddities of the unnatural world. 

They were a true rarity, one in one hundred servers. 

And Tubbo was one of them.

—————————–

Or, Witch AU, because Witch!Tubbo is cool, and him using magic and being badass in general is cool. 

Witches, as previously mentioned, are basically less powerful versions of Admins. They do not naturally have this power, however, they have the ability to harness items and magic that gives them it. 

Witches and witches are different. Normal witches are the basic brewers. Witches, with a capital W, and sometimes Italics, if they’re the first word of sentence(because otherwise it’s confusing), are named because they share their brewery skills with them, but are otherwise classified as Players. 

Since Witches are so rare, the majority of them have Titles. Some are inherited, some are gained, and some are given. These Titles aren’t just for flair, having a Title enhances a Witches prowess in a certain magical area, though it certainly doesn’t mean it’s the only one they have to work with. 

Some Witches are the Coven, from X life, Aphmau, Eret, George, Karl, and probably some others, I haven’t figured it all out yet. Tubbo, before the Dream Smp, spends most of his time with the Coven, and is apprenticed to Lizzie. 

Due to being hunted in the pasts for the abilities, Witches in general tend to hide their nature from all but each other. Of course, it’s illegal to go after them now, but better safe than sorry, and all. 

Tubbo doesn’t have a Title yet, but when he eventually earns one, I was thinking something like the Sea Witch, with power of sea, because Captain Sparklez and stuff, or the Spruce Witch, with power over spruce biomes and all within it, because Snowchester and foxes. 

Befriended Tommy many years ago, and went to the Dream Smp because he invited him. With the amount of things that happened, he didn’t have time to ask for help from the Coven or anyone else.

Kind of just an Au where he decides ‘no, no, I’m done letting people screw me over’, except instead of it being just nukes to protect Snowchester, he also decides to dip back into his magic and make all kinds of potions as well as dig out all his Witch-related items that he hid when he was in the Smp as not to be discovered. 

He bonds with the Witches within the Smp, discovers Michael takes after him a bit more than he thought(his little Nether Witch, how cute), and Snowchester turns into a heavily fortified cozy town filled with many magical creatures waiting to devour anyone who upsets their master. The Coven comes to visit and help out too. 

Maybe Kinoko Kingdom turns into something similarly magical, but a bit less fortified, since there’s two Witches there as well, and a demon. Quackity’s a bit confused, but supportive of their magical natures.

I’m torn between Tubbo’s familiar being a fox, or some bees, or some strange mob from X life or somewhere else that just decides to either keep low, or only follows Tubbo to the Smp after Snowchester starts coming along.

Y’know what? I kind of want a fic where Snowchester’s just…filled with strange beings. Charlie and Foolish are gods, Jack is either some kind of demonic entity, transformed after his stay in hell, or willingly possessed and co-existing with whatever’s doing it. Puffy could be some sea deity or siren, or something. 

And maybe they’re trying to hide it, maybe they aren’t. Either way, Tubbo doesn’t notice. Charlie holding a conversation with the bees? Cool, he does that too. Foolish has almost abnormal amounts of Totems? Hah hah, man must seriously grind, huh? Jack staring ominously into the flames and them randomly turning red or blue. Oh, wow, he sure is thinking intently. How’d he get the fire to turn into soul fire? Tubbo totally has to ask later, that was cool. Puffy randomly giving cryptic warnings about not going out to sea, and it starts storming super badly later? Huh, being a captain sure is handy!

Maybe even Michael just like leaving mysterious little trinkets in Tubbo’s room along with strange symbols drawn in crayon and looking at him with eyes far too old for a child, and Tubbo just…picking him up for his nap, thanking him for the drawings.

Snowchester’s just this…little odd town down by the snowy sea. Some rumors start to spread. Some people start getting shivers passing by that don’t have anything to do with the cold. Strange things start happening around. It becomes one of those things.

But that’s for a bit of a spooky vibe. For a funnier one, everyone thinks Tubbo’s the weird being, since it always happens around him, and he’s completely oblivious to this. Techno looked at Tubbo slightly menacingly and he’s had bad luck ever since. Tommy suddenly isn’t getting attacked by mobs. Bad tried to corner Tubbo with the egg and not only caught on fire, but found all of his valuables missing the next day. 

Obviously, it must be Tubbo, who else could it possibly be? Certainly not the slightly protective people who live with him after he gave them a home.

you know what really kills me? that they had the chance to explore this real canon material and they still chose… that

swap au ragatha holding pomni?

it was worth the try

Lots of jokes get made in modern comics and fandom about the pejorative double entendre of Dick Grayson’s given/chosen nickname for Richard, and it IS funny, but I want to give a moment of appreciation for the other, kind of brilliant, double meaning that’s unfortunately fallen out of common modern usage, but would have been way more common when he was first named in 1940.

He’s literally named “detective” you guys, there is no way the World’s Greatest Detective’s partner wasn’t named this way on purpose.

Add to this the way the fandom loves to explore the 21st century reveal/retcon of Dick Grayson’s Romani heritage, and the possible etymology of the word, and you have a goldmine of largely untapped, to my knowledge, discussion of thoughts from Dick Grayson and the people around him about the relationship between his identity, the life he chose, the things he chooses to honor/remember, and the persistence of a nickname that has fallen increasingly out of favor in most other modern contexts.

I love when it’s as simple as “it’s his name and there’s no reason to change it”, but I also think there’s just lots of room for him to also have Real Thoughts about it throughout his life.

I'd assume he either bathes wearing armor or he bathes in lava.

Since Ranboo can’t touch water does he bath in milk?

i think it would also be so cool if parallel canon was jelletonified

I just officially watched the first three episodes of season four and I’m debating watching the rest after seeing spoilers. But my takeaways so far are:

After all they’ve been through, they still don’t really keep in touch? Weird but okay.

Sloane and Ray just gone like that, huh? Doesn’t make any sense but sure.

As a Luther fan, I am devastated that everyone so far has cool upgrades on powers except him, and not only that, they incorporated Pogo’s DNA being part of his power??? How does that work??? Also, like, how awful is that??? He was finally normal again and they go back to bringing that trauma back in his life??? I kinda wanted to see how his power would’ve evolved into new stuff like the others, but whatever.

As a Ben fan since season one, what is happening here. I know this Ben is not Umbrella Ben, but like, cryptocurrency scam artist Ben? No real character development Ben? The plot revolves around him but he’s hardly on screen Ben? Only good thing is that he was giving major Doc Ock vibes in episode three.

I like the potential whump fics that will come out of them getting their powers back. But even a fan of whump fics, I could’ve done without the excessive visceral vomiting.

Diego seems like he was written by someone who really didn’t get his character. I mean they all did seem OOC, but Diego especially to me??? Like that man didn’t give stay at home dad vibes last season with Stanley??? Lila being the stay at home parent? Really? No.

There’s a lot I would’ve changed so far, but I guess overall, the first three episodes were okay.
