I Know She Isn’t But I Think It Would Be Really Funny If She Was, Like In A Little Kid Way, Grandparents

I think this is my first Linked Universe post ever so I hope this isn’t messy!

LU Soul Eater AU: this is how I think it would with pairings and the mild plot I’ve cobbled together!

The chain are people who were selected to stop the reawakening of an ancient evil, it’s just this AU equivalent of Ganon. 

Hyrule and Legend would be a pair with Hyrule being the weapon and Legend the meister. Hyrule would be a magic rod capable of the spells that he knows from Zelda 2 and somewhat combined with the offensive abilities from his first game. Legend is very good at knowing what to push through and they’re very in sync with each other.

Four kind of goes against Soul Eater canon and his actual canon but in a way that I hope makes sense. He is a weapon, the four sword which in this AU is like a Scottish claymore sword, that’s made of the four colors after they essentially fuse together to create the weapon. Each color is also a weapon, all of them being different types of knives. Green a machete, Blue a trench knife specifically with the brass knuckle handle, Vio is a throwing knife, and Red a concealable switchblade. Shadow is their meister. 

Sky and Time are the next pairing with Sky being the weapon and Time the meister. Sky would be the equivalent of the master sword, an ancient weapon passed down by bloodline. For Sky and Time however, Sky had been a meister until recent events and Time was a weapon in his past.

Wind and Warriors are a pair with Wind as the weapon and Warriors the meister. Wind would be a flintlock pistol. Warriors never stayed the meister of a weapon for longer than a year until he and Wind met.

Finally, Twilight and Wild, Twilight the meister and Wild the weapon. I think Wild would be the bombs from his first game, or maybe another type of sheika tech. I had the most trouble figuring out this pair.

I have much more backstory for everybody but I was worried it would get too long. If you want to hear them though I’d be thrilled to talk about them! I’d also like to hear other headcanons if anyone has them! Especially when it comes to Wild and Twilight 😭 I have part of their backstories but for how they’d function, I’m coming up blank.

This is a first draft so the dialogue is a bit rough, lol.

Thank you to @kittycatboyhalo for creating basically the entirety of this storyline! Bad is currently feminine presenting, and just got accused as a witch. He escaped, was chased, and stumbled upon Etoiles’s forest home. Etoiles has helped rescue ladies like Bad from witch trials in the past.

Heilige also means Saint in German, so I thought it would be funny to call the Saint of Games himself Madame Heilige. Probably not accurate historically or otherwise, but let’s just roll with it.

Maze Runner AU backstories

alright! Here are the backstories to the main guys in my maze runner AU! This is before they’re put in the maze. I’m sorry it’s so long, I was gonna write even more but I think that would turn it into a behemoth 😭

here’s a short chart of everyone’s ages and age that they entered HYLIA

Age lineup 

First is age taken. Second is their current age. The timeline in years is also included (being the year of the age they were taken. They all enter the maze in year XX86)

Warriors:   0yo* - 21yo  XX65

Time:        11yo - 23yo  XX74

Legend:    7yo - 18yo   XX75

Hyrule:      9yo - 17yo   XX78

Four*:        8yo - 16yo   XX78

Sky:          12yo - 19yo  XX79

Twilight:    13yo - 19yo  XX80

Wild:         11yo - 17yo  XX80

Wind:        10yo - 14yo  XX82

and here’s the backstories!

Warriors: Warriors was raised in HYLIA. His parents worked there and had him tested shortly after he was born for resistances to gloom and mind control technology. He tests very well, sliding into that <1% of the population that has significant resistance to the building apocalypse. He won’t know this until he’s an adult, but his resistances aren’t natural. He’s one of the first to be the product of genetic engineering, also one of the only successful cases. From a young age he’s trained in leadership classes and in other courses. When he’s 9 he’s told that a new program will run soon with other children like him and that it’s his responsibility to lead and represent them. The first kid in the program is time, who’s just a little bit older than Wars is. He doesn’t really care about how bossy Wars is, he kind of just goes along with whatever he wants. Wars is secretly happy to have a friend who isn’t Artemis, another kid like him who will lead any girls who enter HYLIA. Things are good until LEGEND comes along. Legend is the first person he meets who opposes HYLIA and isn’t there by choice. So he tries to steer him in the right direction but it goes poorly. It’s not much better when Hyrule comes along bc Legend immediately attaches himself to the kid. It goes on like that, and after a while Warriors finds that he’s not actually friends with any of the other boys except for Time and maybe Wind but that’s embarrassing bc Wind is a child. HYLIA uses Wars as the golden child of the group which he takes a lot of pride in. Deep down he really wishes they didn’t so that maybe he could join in on the easy comradery that the other boys have. When HYLIA tells Wars about the maze he agrees that it’s for the best. There is (seemingly) no other way to grab such important, and life saving data, as this. Hyrule being sent in first is kind of a traumatizing event for everybody but he doesn’t let it shake his resolve. After watching the maze for months, he finds himself questioning HYLIA’s methods. As soon as he voices his concerns, he’s sent into the maze.

Time: (I wanna thank @pepperpuppy417 for this one, a suggestion of theirs really helped!) Time grew up in a foster home out in the boonies of Hyrule. He grew up very happy in the countryside of Hyrule and lived in nature. Unfortunately when he was a kid the cult released a new variant of the gloom in the forest by the small town he lived in. This variant had the ability to spread not just to Hylians, but to flora and fauna as well. Soon his entire village gets sick, him included. When the Hylian royal army comes he overhears some dignitaries talking about burning down the entire village and forest deeming it a lost cause. He tells his foster father who tells him to run, so he does. He escapes the army but he bumps into a stranger right away. He’s too sick to run by this point, but the stranger treats his gloom sickness and miraculously he makes a recovery. He starts traveling with this stranger for two years. He never gets any name to call him except for Fierce. Their time starts coming to an end when Fierce starts dying due to a brain tumor. He asks if he can give Time a gift. A selfish one. Time accepts and Fierce implants a microchip into the top of his spine. He tells Time that when he needs to use it, he’ll know. Time doesn’t know what this means for a long time. He and Fierce get apprehended by Hyrulean guards. They find that Time has significant resistance to both gloom and mind controlling tech. He’s surprised because he didn’t used to be but says nothing. He’s sent to HYLIA and never sees Fierce again. He doesn’t trust them from the get go but goes with it. He likes Warriors, despite thinking he’s a bit brainwashed, but he senses a very earnest, kind person in him. Even if he’s neurotic. He becomes a bit of a big brother to all of the other boys in his ward. Time is always calm, he has a lot of humility. Time is biding his time, waiting for revenge, for his time. (Geez how many times can I say time??) Everyone is surprised when he reacts poorly to the idea of the maze. He’s been very compliant with Hylia up until now. He starts getting more and more vocal about how it isn’t right. They send him in shortly after Legend. 

Hyrule: Was found as a homeless child in a “cult town”. Cult towns are towns with a lot of the mind controlling technology around so that everyone in it is at the whims and wills of the cult. Hyrule, and Dawn and Aurora, were kids in that town that somehow didn’t get affected by the technologies. When the kingdom of Hyrule was finally able to overthrow that town, they sent Hyrule, and the girls, to HYLIA. He has the best resistance to the mind control out of anybody in the chain, but he has no resistance to the gloom. He and Legend have been like brothers since meeting. Legend took Hyrule under his wing because he wasn’t allowed to stay in the girls wing with people he already knew. He’s super grateful to Legend and looks up to him. Hyrule considers Wild to be his best friend. Hyrule was one of the people trusted to keep an eye on Wild when he was introduced to the group bc they knew any lingering effects of the mind control wouldn’t hurt him. Hyrule is sent into the maze first due to his high marks in survival courses, good attitude in high stress scenarios, and because they were slightly okay with him dying. They sent a person with the very good odds of being able to survive alone but also a person who wouldn’t be a total loss if they were to die. His lack of resistance to gloom is what sealed his fate. They’ll be able to go full out with the mind controlling technology when it’s just Hyrule in there but many of the others have good resistance to it as well. What Hyrule doesn’t have is gloom resistance, something they also really want to look into. It was between him and Wild. He, and the chain, were only told a day before he would be sent in. Legend freaked out so badly that he had to be sedated. He wasn’t able to say goodbye before Hyrule was sent in. 

Legend: Legend grew up with his uncle away from his father due to family drama surrounding Legend’s birth. (His father cheated on his wife and Legend was born out of it.) Legend’s uncle contracts the gloom and sends him to his father before he dies. Legend's father freaks out bc Legend has to be infected after living with somebody who had the gloom for months. Miraculously he doesn’t, so they have him tested and he’s just about immune. His sister is as well. Legend's family sends him and his sister to HYLIA where they both grow extremely resentful of their family and of HYLIA. Legend hated those early days. The only other people were Wars and Time and they wouldn’t spend much time with him. He and Wars also constantly butted heads. He was so lonely. When Hyrule comes, Legend attaches himself to him and makes sure Hyrule isn’t alone like he was. Legend is horrified when Hyrule is going to be sent into that place alone so he protests. Too hard. He wakes up in the med wing horrified when he realizes they didn’t let him say goodbye. He’s constantly monitoring Hyrule. You can’t pull him from the screen. When Hyrule gets hurt, Legend begs to be sent in. It takes two weeks but they finally relent and then Legend is officially the second person to be let in.

(The Four): So I decided to split Four into the colors, I feel like the maze needed more people bc it was kinda sparse and then I realized that Four can literally be 4 people. So Vio, Red, Green, and Blue are all half brothers. Their father, a captain to the royal guard, had a four month break one year and in that time he decided to have a bit of a ho phase. Later that winter a woman appeared at his house and begged him to take custody of their child. He agreed, being more well off than her and welcomed Vio into his home. To his shock, the same thing happens 3 MORE TIMES THAT WINTER. Obviously he gets dna tests and yup. All four are his. His father helps raise them, honestly does most of the job since the captain is very busy with work. The colors live very happily with their grandfather until a mind control machine is dropped into their village.. everyone in the town but the boys get messed up from it, going fits or dissociative states. He sends the colors to live with their father again. The captain is shocked that none of the boys are hurt. They get tested and lo and behold, they have a good amount of resistance to the mind control machines. Their father sends them to Hylia thinking it will be a really good opportunity for them to get better schooling. The colors do pretty well, they all have each other at the end of the day. The one issue is that they get RELENTLESSLY bullied by another kid named Shadow. Shadow got in just before they did and is of a similar age. Eventually Vio befriends him and they all find out that he’s just insecure yadda-yadda. Shadow is a weird case because he has no resistance to gloom or mind control, but was infected by gloom until he reached a stage 3 state and somehow recovered which was thought to be impossible. He’s involved in different testings than the chain. The colors and shadow all grow really close, Vio and him even becoming boyfriends. When they get sent to the maze, Shadow copes poorly.

Sky: I feel bad. For Sky I’ve had the most trouble with his backstory, (dw, I’ve got plans for him when he’s actually in the maze), so I apologize to his fans. Sky grew up pretty upper class basically in the royal family being born to a very high ranking royal guard. He was being trained to be Sun’s personal guard. When they’re both 12 they go through regular preteen checkups and the royal family is incredibly relieved that the heiress and her guard have substantial resistances to both gloom and the mind controlling technology that’s terrorizing Hyrule. To further keep them safe from an increasingly angry public and worsening political atmosphere they’re both sent to Hylia where they can get fantastic educations while keeping them out of the public eye. Sky keeps quiet about where he’s come from because he quickly realizes that a lot of these kids are not as fortunate as he is. He also quickly realizes that he’s treated a little bit differently than the rest of the kids. Some of them get physical training, a lot of them choose self defense courses. Sky does too, wanting to keep on top of his training. He quickly realizes that while their trainers are okay with occasionally injuring say Time or Hyrule, or honestly any of the other boys and girls, he’s never come out with anything worse than a bruise. He makes the choice to be the nice kid, the one who won’t start beef or trouble because this place is VERY troubling. Before he can really figure out what’s wrong and how he can fix it, the maze is launched and that solidifies his worries. This place isn’t what it says it is. They tolerate it when he’s caught sending messages to the royal family about his worries but they swiftly react when they find out he’s been trying to send messages to outside friends as well. They send Sun into the maze which basically sends Sky into a rage nobody ever predicted possible from the gentle guy. They sedate him and when he next wakes, it’s in the maze.

Twilight and Wild: These two have a story that is too intertwined to not tell together. They both grew up in the same orphanage. They had always been closer with each other over the other children and considered themselves to be brothers. The cult launches a mind control machine in their town and it lands on the outskirts. It doesn’t immediately plunge the town into a subservient dissociative state but everyone starts suffering from severe migraines and some start to struggle with seizures. Nobody can move it because the waves get stronger the closer one moves towards it. Wild doesn’t like what the technology is doing, he thinks it’s mean. Twilight listens to him complain about it but he tries to tell him that the Hyrule Royal Guard will send somebody to deal with it soon. Nobody comes and people start dying or dipping into the aforementioned dissociative states. Twilight wakes up to find Wild gone. Twi is panicked and runs after Wild to find him heading towards the mind controller. Wild manages to destroy it by the time Twilight catches up. He finds Wild unconscious bleeding from his nose and mouth, barely alive. Twilight doesn’t notice that he himself only has a small headache from standing so close to the machine. He drags him back to town desperately trying to find help. Wild wakes up, but it’s with little cognitive function. He can’t eat by himself, he can’t bathe himself, he can’t speak. Twilight is devastated, feeling deeply as if he failed to protect him. Only after the mind controller is destroyed does the government send anybody to the town. Twilight immediately hates them. He hates that he ever thought they could help. To his horror, he realizes that they might be able to now. He swallows his pride and asks one, who he doesn’t realize is a HYLIA representative, if they can fix his brother. They listen to his story and test Twilight to see if he’s mind control resistant. He is. They agree to help him if he agrees to join their program. Of course he does. While they fix Wild they discover that he’s incredibly resistant to gloom. It’s probably the reason they let him live. When Wild wakes up from surgery he can’t remember anything. Not even Twilight. Twilight is willing to rebuild his relationship with Wild, but there’s a deep anger boiling within him. He doesn’t think Wild’s loss of memory was a side effect. When the maze is proposed Wild is one of the first people willing to go in. Twilight does everything in his power to stop this.

Wind: Wind and his little sister are raised in a small beach town that’s pretty protected from the rest of Hyrule. Things are peaceful for a long time until, of course, they’re not. The gloom has spread to the waters near his small fishing town and people start getting sick fast. His grandmother becomes very ill from the gloom and it turns from her looking out for Wind and Aryll to them looking out for her. Wind, despite barely being 10, knows he has to do something and fast. Regular people can barely survive the gloom. A woman of her age makes the odds so much worse. He sets out to find somebody who can work and finds a government camp nearby who are probably there to stop the gloom from spreading into major waterways. He begs for an antidote and they take interest. Wind and Aryll have been closely exposed to their infected grandmother for days, maybe weeks, and show no signs themselves. They agree to help but will need a favor in return. They treat granny and tell Wind and Aryll there’s a place they can go where they can help everyone. Granny greatly encourages them, she believes it will be safer for them there rather than out here. So Wind and Aryll go to HYLIA, the last people to arrive. The older kids dote on them, even though Wind doesn’t think he needs it. He and Aryll also, unfortunately, kind of become a mechanism of control for the “rowdy” older kids. When something goes wrong or somebody acts up, HYLIA is not afraid to put either Wind or Aryll in the way. When the maze opens and many people begin voicing their discontent, Wind is sent in as a message to the other boys.

anywho!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LMK ANY THOUGHTS! I have a lot more info in my head but I think it would be confusing or too complicated to write it all out 😭 so if you wanna know more about anything or anyone pls know I am always so so happy to chat!!!

who’s next? LU Soul Eater AU

I LOVE the concept of Bbh being some sort of older brother/guidance to young Cellbit in the war

With Cellbit’s cannibal class I can imagine that translating as really hard times, resulting in people having to eat their dead. Maybe it’s winter time and they can’t grow anything and anything that they could hunt is hibernating so they have to turn to that. It confuses bbh at first, he just assumes that maybe humans just eat other humans now, until he realizes the horrors in which why they have to do that and it dawns on him how awful this is so he takes Cellbit under his wing

at first bbh tries not to get too attached, their ranks are dropping like flies, but he just can’t help it. Cellbit also might be the youngest there, so bad feels an extra responsibility to keep him safe

why either of the are fighting in the first place, I’m not sure but I imagine that maybe Bad was traveling when war struck and he got stuck in the middle of it, wings or magic too damaged to be able to get himself out so he has to fight out. Or maybe he just thinks it’s for a good cause? Cellbit on the other hand, maybe he’s just collateral, his hometown destroyed so he has no choice.

In the end, bbh and cellbit are seemingly the only survivors, maybe because Bad’s abilities finally come back, just in time for him to protect himself and his new friend. Somehow they get separated, maybe in the chaos or at a navy port, but they lose touch until they reunite in the qsmp.

Cellbit grows up kind of assuming that he’s crazy, there’s no way that he had a benevolent demon battle buddy as a teenager. He goes on to think that maybe he was starving or just coping, making imaginary friends to feel safe and cared for. But then they meet again and he realizes that it all happened and it’s just so relieving and happy because that’s his friend and also, he wasn’t aggressively hallucinating for the mass of the war.

I really hope that more people are just as into this as I am 😭 I really hope I see fanfics about this, I like writing but it’s so hard

OMG DIVING RIGHT IN!!! I’m so honored you got inspired by my headcanon 💕💕💕

“Um…what’s a pumpkin?” Hyrule asked

It was safe to say that all hell broke loose.

“You don’t know what a pumpkin is? ” Sky and Twilight demanded at the exact same time, both completely horrified and in despair at this revelation. 

“The orange vegetable that grows like—” Wind said, using his hands to gesture a round, lopsided object.

“Everyone else knows what a pumpkin is, Wind, you don’t need to clarify,” Four said, shockingly unfazed compared to the other companions.

“You’ve never eaten a pumpkin…” Twilight muttered, holding his head in his hands as he mourned.

Legend gawked at him, midway through sharpening his sword as he exclaimed, “At all??”

No, not you too! Legend was the veteran—and more specifically, the hero before him! That implied that Legend’s era had pumpkins, but not Hyrule’s—it was another testament to how dead and wasted his land was…

Legend must be ashamed of how I cared for his land…

Hyrule buried his face into his knees, wondering if his face was burning alive. This was humiliating! He didn’t think it was that big of a deal, yet everyone was looking at him as if he’d been the one to say “Who’s Ganon?”

Why is this such a big deal?? 

----

Hyrule realizes that he doesn't know a lot of things that the other members of the chain do. Pumpkins, apples, animals...but then Hyrule also realizes that maybe he can use this to his advantage to cause some chaos.

wind and hyrule warriors thoughts

Going absolutely bonkers thinking about is the Hyrule Warriors headcanon I see used sometimes where the timeline is slightly disjointed. What I mean by that is the headcanon where Wind goes to Hyrule Warriors after the LU quest but for Warriors and Time it was before their LU quest making them all meet a somehow older version of their friend first. 

Like when Wind first meets Time and Warriors it’s them both as men. But when Time and Warriors first meet Wind it’s when he’s a man (or at least more grown than a child). 

Anyways. As for my speculation and headcanons…

I really like the idea that Wind is about the same age as Wars when he gets pulled into the war of eras. When he meets Wars and Time he’s very surprised and kind of confused because Wars and Time had never mentioned to him that they met him during the events of LU. I think Wind would generally kind of be like “wtf.” “Why would they do that?” Etc. I imagine it would be kind of hard not to be hurt over that but at the same time it’s not like he can take out his frustrations on Wars and Time, or Link and Mask in this case because they don’t even know him. So Wind keeps it quiet that he knows them. 

Wind gets over his anger (hurt) at them pretty quickly bc well, Time is an actual child so it wouldn’t be fair to be mad at him and Wars is obviously stressed. This place is a nightmare and a lot of that nightmare has been gifted personally to Wars. Wind remembers how protective Time and Wars had been to him during the events of LU. It had annoyed him at the time, but they had been great brothers, friends, and mentors to him. He decides to return the favor. 

It’s difficult getting close to Wars. He’s never not busy and he’s so serious. Everything with this guy is serious. But eventually Wind breaks down his walls and is surprised when Wars starts asking Wind for advice. This is Wars’ first quest. This is Wind’s third. Wars has never managed the triforce before this, he’s never held the master sword, and he’s definitely never been in charge of this many people. When Wind came, Wars was a bit intimidated by him because Wind is obviously the better hero. He’s much more experienced than Wars and he’s even rebuilding Hyrule back in his era. Even Mask, the little hero, is more experienced than he is. I think Wars would have a crazy imposter syndrome. 

Wind manages to give Wars good advice while recognizing his inferiority complex. Wind helps Wars recognize that nobody is quite as suited to lead in this era than Wars is. They soon do almost everything together. It seems like Wind almost knows Wars better than himself. He always seems to know what to say. Wars sometimes feels like Wind already knows how this is all gonna turn out. Soon they become not just brothers or comrades, but best friends. Wind also makes sure that Wars has fun. Wind is great at keeping morale up. 

Wind also befriends Mask at record time. The kid is prickly at best and a biter at worst. Somehow Wind breaks down all his defenses. He’s really good at keeping up with the kid and keeping him safe while not belittling him. Wind remembers how hard Time and Wars fought to protect Wind, but it came at the price of underestimating him. He understands where they came from a lot better after seeing baby Time’s soft cheeks and short stature, but he knows better than to doubt that Time can’t hold his own in battle. Wind claims that he’s good with Mask because he’s a big brother but Wars would sooner guess witchcraft. 

Wind also has a good relationship with a lot of the other people pulled from other eras. Obviously he and Tetra are close because she followed him through his portal, but there are others. Wind and Ravio get along really well. Wind claims they’ve met way back when but Wars doesn’t know how that would work as they’re from different eras. He seems to already know Marin and Midna, but they all claim they haven’t met before. They occasionally have private conversations that Wars can’t get any details about from Wind

Very guiltily, Wind is super glad that Ravio is there because Ravio remembers the events of LU so they can talk about things. At the same time, however, he’s terrified that Ravio and his brothers' friends and lovers are there. He feels a deep responsibility to keep them all safe. He becomes deeply protective of everyone around him. 

Most of the time I think Wind would be kind of a breath of fresh air. He’s funny, laid back, and has a good attitude. You can rely on him to not overreact and get his work done. The only time Wind does seem to crack or panic is when one of his friends gets hurt. Maybe it’s Ravio who almost gets fatally wounded. Wind loses it, freaking out. He’s screaming about how Ravio has to go home, which makes sense. Everyone is thinking that. But then Wind starts crying about how ‘he’ will never forgive me if I can’t get him home. 

Sometimes when Wind is really stressed or drunk his lips get looser. Wars is really confused one night they go out drinking when Wind casually asks “Would you tell me if I died?” Wind realizes what he said, apologizes and tells Wars to forget about it. Of course Wars doesn’t. Sometimes Wind also calls Wars well “Wars or Warriors” which is confusing. He doesn’t know where that comes from.

Wind is scared that this isn’t real, that it’s a parallel universe of some sort and these aren’t the people he knows. He’s even more scared that it is real and that he’s gonna fuck up everything. If Time dies here will he be there when the events of LU occurs? If he dies will they be as successful without Time to lead them? Very similar with Warriors. Does Legend know where Ravio is or is he sick with worry back home? Does Legend know that Marin is here??? Alive?? He wonders if Time and Wars tell Legend that she’s okay. Or is that another thing they keep to themselves? And Midna is here and she misses Twilight a lot. She asks Wind if Twilight is okay. He tells her that she is and she’s happy.

Eventually the war ends and everyone goes home. 

When Wars and Time meet baby Wind they wonder if this is how he felt when he met them. I’ve seen this in a handful of fanfics and it’s so good everytime. CLASSIC BANGER. 

I imagine though, that it’s like a hypothetical I often think of for myself. What if I was able to meet the childhood version of my best friends? What advice would I give them? What would I do for them? Wars and Time get to do this for real. Their big brother/best friend doesn’t remember them. And he’s a kid. So they protect him, probably too much. They teach him the same things that they taught him. 

They wonder if everything is a circle. Did they teach Wind or did he teach them? It’s a paradox 😭

Huurrggggg… many thoughts….. please tell me yours

Beginning of Main Storyline:

The main storyline for my little maladaptive daydream vampire AU follows Tubbo, a troubled human who tends to get in even more trouble for petty crimes. He takes up a dangerous job working as a “bloodbag” and runner for a non-legal coven. 

Essentially, in exchange for money and protection, he exchanges his blood and runs, often less than legal errands, for a dangerous group of vampires. Quesadilla Island is quite strict against vampires, but will often recognize covens in order to better keep an eye on them. Covens that are legally recognized have to pay specific taxes and perform specific duties to the government in order to live peacefully and have access to ethical blood sources. 

Covens that fly under the goverment radar are often dangerous and most notoriously obtain blood from unethical sources, like down on their luck adults or even teenagers. In Tubbo’s case, the coven he affiliates with is one of the more dangerous ones.

It’s actually not fully fleshed out in my mind, because I spent more time thinking about the origins to vampires or later story stuff, but it would probably be a bit funny if the leader of Tubbo’s coven was Tommy. Tommy is a powerful progeny of a long dead original vampire called Envy. 

I can explain the power scaling and vampire hierarchy later. 

Tubbo gets caught blood running and is taken into government custody. After some court trials, they find his case sympathetic as he had grown up in a group home and had joined the coven as a teenager. 

The government means to sentence him to a rehabilitation center, which is basically just a slightly nicer prison with more social and psychological rewiring, but accidentally mess up the paperwork. The government is busy and kind of a hot mess when it comes to humanitarian aide. They mark him as a lone, fledgling vampire by accident and ship him off to be assimilated into a government approved coven. 

Tubbo gets forcefully escorted into a train and rides it, a very long and uncomfortable journey, to the very north of the archipelago. The weather here is dreary almost all year and experiences harsh winters. The summers, fortunately, are beautiful. Too bad Tubbo gets there in the beginning of autumn.

Tubbo considers trying to make his way back to his coven, but he doesn’t really want to. Before his arrest, Tommy had begun to get more and more possessive over him, becoming furious if anybody else were to feed from him. Tommy began to talk about how he’d turn Tubbo soon, something Tubbo didn’t want. When he expressed his displeasure, Tommy would just laugh. Also, Tubbo literally had no money of his own. He did skim some of the covens cash for emergencies, however that was repossessed from the island.

At this point Tubbo realized that they sent him to the wrong place, especially since he was being unassisted after leaving the train. He comes to the conclusion that they must’ve sent him to a different social service and decides to see what it can do for him because he’s certain they can’t force him to stay if he doesn’t have an agent with him. He goes to the address and has to walk miles into the woods. This furthers his decision to stay because he physically wouldn’t be able to sleep outside with the lack of resources he has on hand: none.

After walking all day in the rain, Tubbo finally reaches the address: an old Victorian building of notable size. If he were to guess, a decommissioned hospital repurposed into housing. He knocks and is very surprised to have Badboyhalo open it, an ancient vampire. Bad is equally surprised as he was expecting a young vampire and not a fleshy human. He welcomes him in, nonetheless.

Bad explains that his coven is one intended to take in abandoned fledgling vampires and lone vampires who either need help or are ones that the government won’t allow to exist outside of a coven. Tubbo is a bit surprised to find the place so… homey. The only experience he had with vampires formerly were desperate hungry ones. Also Tommy’s covens’ headquarters were in an abandon underground subway. 

The cushy, mostly vintage decor, roaring fireplace, mood lighting, and lack of bloodstains really made all the difference. He’s also surprised to find that Bad puts out a small platter of muffins and tea. While vampires can digest human food in small doses, those in Tubbo’s former coven rarely engaged.

Bad asks Tubbo how he ended up in a coven house and listens patiently as Tubbo relays his story. He decides to be honest, as Tommy had the uncanny ability to almost always be able to tell when he lied. He doesn’t want to repeat that mistake with Bad, in case he has a similarl ability. Being around Bad, and in a house full of unfamiliar vampires makes Tubbo incredibly anxious and paranoid. 

But Bad is kindly in demeanor and makes no move to turn Tubbo into a pre dinner snack. When Tubbo finishes his story Bad offers him the opportunity to stay, empathizing with Tubbo over their shitty government and even worse “social programs”. He promises that nobody in the house with feed from Tubbo.

Tubbo accepts, deciding that he’s probably dead if he returns to Tommy, and that if he dies here at least the government knows where he went. If he goes with Bad’s plan too, his record with be effectively swept clean. 

It takes Tubbo some time, but he quickly warms up to the residents of the house. It’s also just an incredibly nice place and Bad has an eye for furniture. What truely let’s Tubbo put down his guard is the gaggle of bratty child fledgling vampires who are too honest for politeness sake. I think it would be Dapper, Pomme, and Richas. They tell Tubbo that they wouldn’t want to try his blood because it smells anemic and foul. They also explain that they’re well fed enough to not even really consider it anyways. Their hunting urges are met in the woods, where they help control deer populations as well as others. 

Tubbo settles in well, getting along great with the members of Bad’s coven, Cellbit and Bagi, then probably all of the French. I’ll explain specifics in another post. All is well until… it’s not :). But for now, I want to talk about my B-plot. 

do you guys think whenever the chain has to split up to do tasks some chain members get salty if they’re not put into the same group?

my vision is Wild and Hyrule holding hands giving Time the biggest puppy dog eyes, silently pleading with him to pair them up. Like a pair of high schoolers who want to get put in the same group project

he splits them up usually bc they cause problems together or get too side tracked and each time they, mostly Wild, throws a fit like: “Thanks a lot Time 🙄 now I’m gonna go die of sadness”

The others (Twilight and Legend) are just: “am I not enough for you”

I’m too tired to try and write an actual Drabble, but I think Dapper made it onto the boat with the elytra

Imagine with me:

The last we saw from bbh’s pov was Dapper pearling away. I imagine he makes it to a high point and uses the elytra, flying after the boat. He starts losing momentum and remembers his firework, which he uses just in time. It’s just enough to propel him fast enough to catch up. He crash lands onto the deck hard but everyone takes care of him.

Poor Dapper is absolutely distraught, more than anyone has ever seen him. He’s disoriented and hurt from months of running and being kidnapped. He hit the deck hard enough to hurt himself but he’s safe at the cost of his Father, siblings, and the rest of his family.

I imagine he’s inconsolable but everyone is able to take care of him.
