The way Tntduo are written in fanfics got me levitating (specifically a certain fanfic that I wrote like 5000 words about underneath-)
In many stories, Tntduo are either written as very psycho-competitive rivals that find eachother hot, or Wilbur is in love while Quackity wants to cry. There are a few exceptions where my fingers are gripping onto my laptop so hard that it snaps- in a good way. There was once a fanfic that made me fall onto my knees to praise it because of the way they wrote them. The author wrote Tntduo as boys with no want of commitment to each other, and it was perfect. If they were to talk about whatever happens between the two, it would make it all feel too real. I'm not sure why this story made me willingly rip out my heart and present it upon the author, however, if I were to take a guess, I think it's because the characterisation for all the characters in the story seemed just so canon. They acted goofy, yet romantic, yet the manic mindset and actions of Wilbur and the tone shift within a certain chapter gripped my throat so hard. I could continue praising this story, but in truth, I think what made me think of it so highly was because it was so short. It was sharp. It was humorous. It was perfect. It has many unspoken words and events. Nobody took anybody or anything as seriously as other authors usually do in other Tntduo fanfics. It just captured how many events and actions that happen on the Dsmp just happen, with not much of a serious tone. It's silly, it's fun. The only time the tone was every serious for a while was during Las Nevadas, and I think that was the cherry on top. The lore in the Dsmp was not so serious in the beginning, yet as time moved on it became more planned, more detailed, more serious. The layers within characters are revealed, showing how in-depth character really are, the way they think, the way they act. It's probably a matter of preference, but I think it's perfect. A lot of the chapters they wrote were during the Pogtopia era. The era of manic, the era of craziness, the era of party, fun, high-stakes. An example of this is Niki's birthday party. The stream is full of just cheeriness! Party!! However, at the end of the stream, it was full of stress because of Wilbur's manic movements. It's clearly not abnormal for such. The fact the fanfic was written in the way they act in the server and not how people would usually act in reality. It made the reactions feel right, nobody cared what Wilbur and Quackity did during that stream...and they did many things...I loved it. (Loved it in a way that's not weird, I promise.) The way I'm describing this story makes it seemed like it's an incredible detailed fanfic with chapters upon chapters. It's not. The fact it was so short just left room for me to appreciate how they wrote every single interaction. The interactions between Tntduo and other characters. It was just...so right. It's such a short story but I can't help but hold it close to my heart. Maybe because they also didn't just write about Tntduo in Las Nevadas- Every single Tntduo story that is sort of following canon are all during the Burger Van arc. Not like it's bad, it's just that the fanfics of Tntduo that aren't during that arc but during Pogtopia or the Elections are so so short or sickly romantic it makes me vomit, in a good way. Please, if someone reads this and would very much be down to write Tntduo in a way that is...canon-like? Please tag me or tell me or something- I'm not sure why I wrote so much about a fanfic I remembered existed just today and I didn't even reread the whole thing- Anyways, Tntduo supremacy. Wait, i should probably link the fanfic- but I have this feeling that if someone reads it they'll think I'm praising it way too much. I don't want you guys to have your expectations be broken from the way I described it- Listen, it's not often that I find a story that writes Tntduo in such a way- Anyways, if anyone read this far...here's the link (please don't be disappointed-) I read another chapter and I felt like I definitely overhyped it- But y'know what?! I like it, and I appreciate it, and I will love it forever.
