QSMP WITCH HAT ATELIER! AU

HIII i have this idea for this AU for a loong time ago, and i'll keeping developing the characters to fit in this concept!

SO, this AU is centrified in Tallulah and her strange family bloodline, she's the principal protagonist, alongside with other characters that i will think of (probably Richarlyson, Cellbit and Quackity).

Tallulah is daughter of Wilbur, and his apprentice. He's a traveller bard and a music teacher for the pointy hat studants. Wilbur decided to leave his home to raise his daughter far from the danger, trying to give her a normal live. But, one day, dark spots appeared across Tallulah's body, which not long later turned out to be forbidden magic.

And this magic slowly drained Tallulah's health, even causing her to develop asthma. Wilbur despaired of that meaning, that connection that he had tried to sever for a long time, but it seemed to haunt him, he decides to return to his old home... The brim hats' hideout, and meet the gang leader for the first time in a while, his father, Philza.

Basically, the story is about Tallulah living a double life of being an outlaw and trying to live the life of a regular citizen, and dealing with the weight of having a family that is condemned by society while trying to fit in and also while trying to deal with his father, so overprotective and present, but sometimes very distant and who keeps many secrets

CHARACTER DESIGN EXPLAINATION:

•WILBUR: He's a teacher and a bard. I gave him pointy ears because I wanted to make it clear that he's "not like other witches", and he often tries to hide them. Wilbur in this universe is like a metaphor for those who are ashamed of their origins and culture, because it's not socially accepted and you try to fit in society to have a place to fit, but forget to embrace who you are. I also made his cape have a lot of patches, references to most of the designs I see from q!Wilbur. In this au, he plays Oud! Also, yes. In this universe, tntduo is canon (but in a slowburn way)

•TALLULAH: Wilbur daughter and apprentice! She never knew her origins until the forbidden magic manifested in her body, and unlike her father, she is very interested in the ideals and who the Brimmed Hats really are. She also attends another school with her friends, one where Quackity teaches. She is half deaf, and plays the flute very well. She is very attached to Phil and her uncle Chayanne.

PHILZA: Father of Wilbur and Chayanne, and also the leader of the brimmed hat gang. Philza is also known as "The Sweeping Angel", and he masters the forbidden magic of metamorphosis (being able to take on the appearance of a giant crow), time and death. He loves Wilbur very much, but is against his closed thoughts about fitting socially into the standards of magic dictated by the wise men (which in this universe, is The Federation). Philza wants to teach Tallulah everything he knows about magic, but at the same time, he doesn't want this to distance him from his son again. He is being actively hunted by the "federation". He is married to Missa!

•CHAYANNE: Son of Missa and Philza, also half brother of Wilbur. Chayanne is very dismissive of Wilbur's behavior, which causes them to always fight. Chayanne tries to kick him out almost every time he enters the brimmed hats' hideout, claiming he is a traitor. But deep down, Chayanne loves him and would be the first to raise his sword if anyone has anything against Wilbur's sake. He sees Tallulah as his little sister, and tries to teach her everything he knows about the origins of brimmed hats without Wilbur knowing, meanwhile he tries to help Tallulah with her conddition. Chayanne's forbidden magic is the ability to transform into a dragon (metamorphosis)

•JAIDEN: Brimmed hat! Jaiden used to be a pointy hat as well as a Kinight Moralis until she lost her son at the hands of the "federation". She then turned to the brimmed hat witches to help bring her son back to life. Philza then offers a deal: He would teach the arts of forbidden magic, but Jaiden would have to abandon her old life so that she and the other witches would not be at risk, and help to overthrow the federation (which means betraying her home). Jaiden then left her partner behind and disappeared, with the promise that she would bring their son back. Jaiden has the forbidden magic of manipulation and hybridity, she can manipulate her tattoos to gain shape and life, and she can fuse with any animal and take their abilities (she often does this with birds). Unfortunately, Jaiden isn't aware that her platonic partner has moved on and has a new life built. But wherever they are, they will always be praying for each other's well-being, as they are both very fragile. But at the same time, she is in doubt

BBH: I haven't worked out much for him yet, sorry chat :( But he is also a brimmed hat witch, but often opposes the leader's ideas. He doesn't have a physical form either, being made only of shadows. He also has a son, who is also his apprentice!

POMME: New recruit to the Knight Moralis (which are the french people!) She's basically like a daughter to them, especially to Etoiles and Baguera, who tend to spoil her a lot. She is quite brave and tenacious. She is Richarlyson and Tallulah's best friend!

RICHARLYSON: Son of MANY parents, he has a huge family and is a member of royalty. He is the son of King Forever! He is also one of Quackity's students (and also his son). Richarlyson is currently being treated to deal with a curse of forbidden magic placed on him. Because he is the son of the king, the federation is completely aware of the situation and helps in finding antibiotics and medical specialists, but it's all pointless. Richarlyson developed premonitions and visions of the past, which he express through art. Richas has no idea of his ability, as he does all this sleepwalking. I like to think his cape was designed by himself sleepwalking. He has no idea what it means, but he likes it!

THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY!!! If you're interested to know more, you can send me a ask!! I will have the pleasure to talk to you!

[masked-ragdoll]

in light of recent events I will be putting a pause on all Wilbur art until I feel able enough to separate c!Wilbur and q!Wilbur from cc!Wilbur (or if the situation changes, idk)

This includes the Haunted TNTduo au comic, I'll be making a separate post on that blog

This wont be too big of a change since most of the stuff I draw right now is either Phil or Ranboo, but I thought I'd let yall know

[bugflies00]

also tntduo in that au make me want to eat drywall.

they're so fucked up and they've hurt each other a lot but they're also soulmates in the sense that no one understands each other like they do (except for like. tommy who knows wilbur better than he knows himself but also wilbur will hide things from tommy sometimes in some attempt to protect him that he won't hide from quackity) . it sounds dumb but wilbur couldn't really be in a relationship with someone who hasn't known him for so long, back in high school, like quackity has.

their whole fucked-up situationship in high school is essential to their relationship later on because they've seen each other when they were at their weakest point. not necessarily their darkest point so to speak cause well there's a lot of those, but the point where they had the least agency, cause well, they were kids. and this is so important because they're both showmen, they both create and discard facets of their identity to shape themselves to those around them, especially in relationships.

quackity was so dead set on the future and getting the fuck out of this town and finally becoming who he wants to be (smart, successful, rich, and someone who's finally seen as a man, who isn't constantly underestimated) while wilbur was barely hanging on and drinking and smoking and putting on this "troubled kid" persona so people were scared of him, didn't try to get close and risk hurting him, and had premade expectations of him so he could never disappoint them.

that's the state in which they leave each other, how they remember the other, even though they get to know each other on a much deeper level than that.

and so when they meet again years later, and quackity is this successful self-made man who graduated law schools and goes through relationships faster than through shirts, and wilbur is this docile quirky guy who claims he's trying to grow from the asshole he used to be in high school, they both see through the other's bullshit.

wilbur sees that quackity's miserable, that he still feels weak and underestimated and he's craving respect which is why he keeps searching for it in new relationships. he's built himself up from the ground but he still isn't confident, he's still haunted by how he's been hurt and he hopes that if he gets bigger, stronger, better, that he gets more successful and makes something more amazing, someone will finally stay with him.

and quackity sees that wilbur's trying to fit himself into a tiny tiny little box to deserve any scraps of love anyone's willing to give him, even though it hurts like hell. and he knows that he was never truly an asshole in his teenage years, that it was all a defense mechanism, that he was a terrified, suicidal, lonely and abandoned kid desperate to protect himself and his brother, not the villain wilbur's trying to make himself out to be (wink wink ghostbur desperately trying to get away from alivebur by portraying him as a villain just like everyone else did. when theyre the same person. and neither is a villain)

they both portray themselves as someone's who's grown and improved and only they know that "growth" is bullshit, that they were miserable back then and they still are. im gonna jump off a bridge

[doingthewritethings]

writing pattern tag game!

post the first line of your last ten posted fics and see if there’s a pattern! thanks for the tag @ephhemeralite :)

i fucking love opening lines. easiest part by far ong. lets see how this goes

most recent chapter of gtau:

Tubbo has - a lot of shit he wants to do the second he’s well enough to stand on his own.

my superhero au where they’re all broke and transgender:

“Those are your pickles,” Mary tells Phil the moment they open the door that connects the stairwell to their floor.

the gtau interlude with the villain reveal:

While a realtor shows Phil around a dubiously haunted house, somewhere else, miles away, a man is about to die — but the man does not yet know this.

from last year’s exchange fic where las nevadas gains sentience:

The first emotion Las Nevadas feels is happiness.

one of my favorite short pieces i’ve ever written. eret and wilbur duke out their gender feelings at a piggly wiggly:

Eret drops a Monster energy drink, a lighter, a pack of bubblegum, and $8.50 in cash on the gas station counter.

tntduo horror one shot that DOES take up precious space in my brain constantly:

Here is a list of three important facts about the situation Wilbur Soot currently finds himself in, against his will and all his better judgement:

the funniest thing i’ve ever written, as voted unanimously by the people:

‘SMP High School Student Government Association Minutes’

gtau but the one where i finally give them a goddamn break:

Phil jolts awake, and the glowing numbers on the clock tell him it’s 2:35 in the morning.

and now we’re far enough back that it’s stuff from 2021, so i’m dangling lines from my wips tantalizingly over your head. fuck you, you can’t stop me, this is my blog and my rules.

i am not immune to the enemy to caretaker trope:

“Please,” he tries again. “I won’t fight back. Just - I’m ready, Jason, we can - we can switch places, one dead Robin for another, okay?” He can feel himself rambling, terrified and adrenaline-filled and tired. He’s so fucking tired.

different fic, same shtick:

He can’t breathe. The kid’s in a room with men who’ve, who’ve tortured him, and the thing he’s the most afraid of is - Hood. Is Jason.

thank you for ur attendance everyone i also nominate @b10000p bc fuck you tell me about your wips. update i actually just got an email so it’s probably you. good. omw to read that shit

[rebelpeas]

Wilbur Soot grew up in the aptly-named Hometown, a dead-end middle-of-nowhere place with a reputation for unexplained mysteries and ghost stories. And here’s the truth: Hometown is not haunted, but Wilbur might be.

status: chapter 1/15 updated june 13

new tntduo-centric small town horror au :) mind the warnings in the tags!

[lmanburg]

tntduo is haunting my brain. i have to write this au before i go properly insane

[commaclear]

Been listening to qaa's playlist for hours now 👉👈 and while it's a treasure cove full of tntduo-coded songs, this 1 song has Haunted me just A Bit called Don't Go Down To Reno by Tony Christie

just. Why has tntduo not gotten A Married Couple On The Verge Of Divorce au fic by someone yet? I mean look at comma's fics, or even their trio name w Tommy, they notoriously have those Divorced Gays vibes, they have to climb mountains to keep their relationship afloat all the time!!!

Certainly not projecting,

cqaa

Ooooohhh

[areus-in-a-little-cave]

Most of the time when I come up with an AU or fic idea it’s either bedrock bros, or SBI, or maybe even beeduo, or something like that. Why am I haunted by a tntduo superhero/sci-fi/college AU right now. What have you all done to me

[finders-reapers]

my works

Unstoppable, Immovable

q!TNTdads but with super powers this time

Wilbur was a villain, once. Quackity was a hero, once. Now, they’re both just retired single fathers who flirt with each other sometimes. But when an old friend comes to Wilbur with an offer to get back in the game, they’ll have to decide what’s more important: their allegiances, or love.

As Long As I'm Here, We Have Each Other

q!TNTdads single fathers who are very oblivious to their feelings for each other

Quackity has Tilín, and that's enough. At least that's what he thinks until he meets Wilbur Soot, the father of Tilín's new friend, and he realizes there's room in his heart for two more.

More below the cut!

And They Were Roommates

TNTduo roommate AU of commaclear's And They Were Ghosthunters

As an ex-ghosthunter, Quackity is familiar with ghosts. So when he moves into his new apartment, he isn't surprised that it's haunted. But he doesn't expect the force of nature that is Wilbur Soot, or how fucking hot he is.

displaced

a Wilbur-centric duology based on Boundless Sands

look forth with our wandering eyes: Wilbur is sick and tired of his life as a gas station worker in Utah. After a river trip vacation gone wrong, he is whisked away into the world of the Dream SMP, where he might just have a chance to start anew. (AKA the isekai fic)

i'll focus on the future: After returning home from the Dream SMP, Wilbur starts a band and maybe learns to forgive himself in the process.

we're like brothers

Wilbur-centric SBI modern family AU with half-brother Techno and bad dad Phil

No matter how much he tries, Wilbur can never seem to make his father love him. He’s fine with that, or as fine as he can be, until his half-brother Techno swoops in and turns his world upside-down.

Chapter 1.2

Hello

[previous] - [next]

[elytrafemme]

lays down on the floor. still have done fuck all even though i have just so much shit to be doing actually but. idk i’m thinking about a fantasy AU wip for dsmp... i’m going to drop some thoughts here but also do it with the promise that i’m not going to pursue this yet because yes, i’m still afraid that if i get too invested in any wip i’ll never write again. so. 

- upon some deep consideration, i have come to the realization that i do not incorporate nearly enough c!clingyduo content in fics. yes, there’s going to be a lot of that in cough syrup, but, still. therefore, i think the two of them should be mystical creatures together.

- i think it would be interesting if i made c!sam the protagonist of this. i’m also considering c!tubbo being the protagonist, but i want him to be a mythical creature and i want the protagonist to be human, so i’m having issues.

- c!philza is, as always in my AUs, an immoral mentor character

- this is very inspired off of ‘how to survive camping’ plus some other horror stuff by the way so if you know the vibes of that you can get what i mean here

- i’m a major fan of c!beeduo but i'm struggling because, on one hand, having a family that is inhuman and all different species would be fascinating and haunting. on the other hand, i really like the idea of c!clingyduo being together, while c!ranboo is entirely alone and just sometimes has a child with him too

- update: now considering a protagonist swap between c!sam and c!quackity at some point. i think this would be cool

- upon some deep consideration, i should have never made my former promise because i absolutely realize now that i am just going to make a doc about this and pester my mutuals to help me sort this out (if you get a dm from me, uh. take it as a treat <3) 

- yeah we still get c!tntduo

- i really want to write c!niki as being important in this story because i think it would be extremely cool to draw her into a mythical horror thing

- i really, really like writing c!tommy as a god. which begs the question, what is c!tubbo? maybe he’s like... a human chosen one? c!tommy made him his chosen one so that they could be pals despite the fact that never ends well. thinks about my formerly-religious-but-since-lost-faith c!tubbo headcanons. guys we may have a win for the angsty c!clingyduo community

- i’m gonna go downstairs to get popcorn and then start making a doc for this and try to write a little for cough syrup too so that i can calm my paranoia. calli i’m definitely going to bother you about this if you’re seeing this

- what the FUCK is this post

[crimeboys]

12!!! ive never wanted to know anything more!!!

12. What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?

thanky ou 😭😭 and well i mean i have my main posted ones

washed up (modern tntduo + crimeboys au where wilbur and tommy are washed up actors, quackity is wilbur’s agent, and they all have freaking problems)

the sun was sinking (semi-modern, semi-minecraft superhero discduo + crimeboys au where tommy is a science experiment being trained to be a hero and he keeps dreaming about this guy wilbur he’s never met)

ignite the light (semi-canon divergent bedrock bros + sbi au where technoblade accidentally gets himself involved in a revolution even though he was REALLY hoping to save his friend from the eggpire asap. but these things happen)

then i have my ones that i’ve done a lot of work on and definitely want to upload someday

the reservoir (modern crimeboys + sbi + discduo au where wilbur killed himself and now tommy’s involved with the cops bc one in particular, dream, is convinced he’s involved in wilbur’s death PLUS wilbur’s ghost is haunting him. which is just not poggers)

swhgau (hunger games crimeboys + sapnap&dream where wilbur is from district 12, sapnap is from district 2, and it switches between their povs to showcase the difference in their experiences bc of it)

and then i have my oneshots i’ve been working on most recently

interrogation (modernish minecraftish crimeboys au where wilbur is a cop investigating tommy for dream’s murder)

viceduo (post-utah/post-ln finale fic where quackity runs into a mourning tommy who misspeaks so quackity thinks wilbur is dead and the two decide the best solution to their shared grief is to go back to their roots and do drugs together)

and well i have about 10000000 wips and oneshots and stuff but these are my main ones.
