OK So I've Sat Down And Though About This Au More And I'm In Love So I'm Expanding Upon It. Might Expand

OK so I've sat down and though about this au more and I'm in love so I'm expanding upon it. Might expand more in the future when I have more things figured out. Anyway

Meet the Ghosts!

Wilbur Soot:

-Regency Era Poet

-Briefly lived on the graveyard grounds back in the 19th century.

-Very dramatic, will often break out into theatrical monologues and, when insulted, will demand satisfaction for his honour.

-Married to Sally, had one child named Fundy who he loved so dearly. Would often say that out of everything he's written, Fundy was his greatest masterpiece. And it destroys him every day that he never got to see him grow up.

-Wilbur has an attachment to Tommy, as he sees alot of his son in him. He swears to always watch over Tommy as he grows because he couldn't be there for his own son.

-Died of poisoning.

Tubbo:

-Victorian Era chimney sweep.

-Was working in the house when he died.

-Very mischievous, will often hide things around the house to fuck with the resident. Coughs quite alot bc of all the soot in his lungs

-You can always tell when he's around bc he smells of ash

-He's closest in age to Tommy (fifteen) and the two of them like to explore the house together and unintentionally thrawrt Dream's plans to murder him

-Died by being pushed down a chimney

Techno:

-15th century Knight

-Stoic with a soft spot - especially for Tommy and Phil, even though he's dead he will still patrol the ground for danger

-He is quiet, but do not mistake that for weakness, Technoblade could break every bone in your body while naming them

-When he was alive, Techno took an oath to protect the owner of the house, which is now Tommy, so he is very protective of him (he's also teaching him how to sword fight)

-Can often be found in library, reading

-Died protecting the nobleman he was assigned from an assassination attempt

Eret:

-Elizabethan Era Nobelman, descendent of Royal blood

-Owner of the house in the late 16th century

-He is kind and gentle, very nurturing to the younger beings in the house (Tommy, Tubbo, Niki)

-Eret will sometimes wander the halls with Tommy, admiring the paintings and telling him stories behind them and about the house.

-She is the one the ghosts will go to when they need someone on his side as he is the main authority figure (yes, he beats out Techno)

-Died from multiple stabs wounds to the chest

Phil:

-80's Groundskeeper

-Lived on the house grounds for the majority of his life as his father was the groundskeeper before him.

-He was married to Kristen and the two of them lived in the staff cottage together.

-Phil has a very fatherly nature to him, the main parental figure to all of the ghosts haunting the house and the only one with a fucking brain cell.

-He acts as one of Tommy's parental figures (along with Sam, Tommy's actual distant relative) and helps him with the matinence of the house

-Spends most of his time in the garden

-Died from drowning

Niki:

-1500's Baker

-Worked in the kitchen

-Excellent cook, like literally the best (although, non of the ghosts or Tommy have ever eaten her food bc she's dead...just take her word for it)

-Can be found in the kitchen at most times, and is the main reason Tommy knows how to cook

-She is very sensitive to fire bc of her death and that made for some funtimes when Tommy first tried to make himself dinner (he set his food on fire)

-Niki, while usually calm and sweet, is fucking terrifying when she is angry. Like, seriously scary, she turns from casper the friendly ghost to fucking poltergeist in a matter of seconds.

-You can tell she's around bc she smells of smoke and burnt toast

-Died from a kitchen fire

Puffy:

-Pirate Captian from the 1600's

-She took over the estate when her crew docked at the shore

-She is strong, a natural born leader, courageous and very competitive. Tommy really looks up to her

-She had a son, Foolish, but she doesn't know what became of him after she died

-Tommy begs her for stories about her time at sea, and Puffy - who is very proud of all of her adventures - is happy to tell him all about them.

-Much like Techno, she is fiercely protective of the children living in the house

-While she doesn't have a set place she usually goes to, Puffy will often hand out with Niki in the kitchen or help Techno teach Tommy how to sword fight.

-Died from being shot

Sam:

-Last owner of the house before Tommy and the most recent ghost

-He's his step fourth cousin three times removed in law or something, neither of them know the details

-He was rich, like fifthly fucking rich. But he didn't have any family (or so he thought) so he was quite lonely in his life

-But now that he has the other ghosts and Tommy, he couldn't be happier

-When he learns that Tommy is an orphan, he takes it upon himself to practically be the boys father figure (along with Phil bc Tommy be collecting father figures like pokemon cards)

-Sam is smart, especially in the topic of engineering and design, and he often helps Tommy with his homework and social life.

-Usually plays chess in the drawing room by himself. He tried teaching the others how to play but Wilbur would dramatically narrate the game, Tubbo would cheat, Puffy would flip the board right before he lost, Phil prefers to play cards, Techno just can't get the hang of it and Tommy thought it was boring. He doesn't play with Eret because they always beat him

-Died from suffocation

(might add more later)

The Ghosts cannot leave the grounds. They're bound to stay insides the gates.

None of the ghosts can specifically remember the circumstances of their death. They know the cause of course, but when they really think about their head becomes fuzzy and the go what they deemed blank for a few moments - 'blank' just means they go nonverbal and nonreactive for a few minutes.

They can't move on to the next life until they figure out their death, so they ask Tommy to investigate for them.

They only have eachother to talk to, since no one alive can see or hear them. So when Tommy arrives and acknowledges them, they are ecstatic. So esctatic, that they rarely leave him alone for the first few weeks when he moves in.

Because the house is so massive, each of the ghosts have their own dedicated bedroom...for some reason. It's not like they can sleep.

Every Wednesday, the ghosts will do show and tell: where they each present something of their choice. Every week, Wilbur recites one of his poems, Tubbo shows off something he stole during the week and Puffy tells one of her stories. It's anyone's guess what the rest of them will do.

Ever since Tommy inherited the house, he has initiated Movie Night. They'll all gather in the grand living room and watch a movie of Tommy's choice - this has resulted in some funny moments, for example, when he showed them Gnomeo and Juliette and Wilbur didn't stop talking about it for a week. He showed them Up and they all cried.

Meet the Living!

Tommy:

-Orpahan and current owner of the house

-lived in an orphanage for the first fourteen years of his life, so the transition to dirt poor orphan to one of the richest people in the country was quite the change.

-At first, Tommy doesn't know what to make of the house. Lots of strange things happen to him there; like chandeliers almost falling on top of him, food that smell like out of date bleach, almost trapped in the cellar but finding a secret passageway right to the master bedroom.

-But the weirdest thing, by far are the goddamn ghosts that won't leave him alone

-He's not really complaining though, despite it being a bit of a nuisance it's nice to have all this company

-It takes some time getting used to, but after that he grows very fond of the ghosts, especially Tubbo who he has deemed his new best friend. The two of them like to explore the house together, and it's here that they find the secret passageways around the house that not even Sam knew existed

-When the ghosts ask Tommy to investigate their deaths, he is skeptical at first. He doesn't quite know what 'moving on' is but he has a fair idea it means they'll vanish for good, and he doesn't want that. Not when he's just found a family (no matter how odd it is)

-But, it will make them happy and thats all Tommy wants them to be. So he does it (later on, he'll get Ranboo to help him)

-Tommy likes to wander around the graveyard surrounding the grounds with the ghosts and looking at all the headstones and judging their names. Although, he tries to avoid the ghosts graves; its a touchy subject

-Ever since Tommy inherited Sam's riches and house, he had to move school, which he was not happy about. In this new school, he meets Ranboo - who, for a reason unknown to Tommy, is determined to befriend him.

-Tommy thinks Ranboo is weird - he wears sunglasses at all times of the day, inside and out, which is just wrong - and activly avoids him at first but then, one he actually gives the guy a chance, he growns to like him and they become fast friends.

-Tommy will never bring him over to his house though, because of two main reasons: 1, the ghosts that have basically adopted him as one of their own and 2, the creepy fucking butler.

Dream:

-Aforementioned creepy fucking butler.

-Has worked for Sam's family for years. Has quite literally watched all of them die

-The only staff in the house (there used to be more, but they were all let off for an unknown reason)

-Can often be found lurking in the shadows, pacing around the graveyard

-Tommy is so fucking scarred of him, as are most of the ghosts

-He was unaware that Sam had any other family

-He was also the last person in the house the night that Sam died.

-Dream does everything in the house; he cooks, he cleans, he gardens, he drives Tommy to and from school. Or, well, he's supposed to; Tommy doesn't think he does though, because the food always looks off, there are cobwebs and dust everywhere, he drives like he wants to get in a car crash and the garden is overgrown and out of control (it makes Phil cringe)

-He doesn't know about the ghosts, and he doesn't like Tommy's little friend Ranboo.

-He is just a creepy bastard in general, and Tommy tries his best to avoid him

Ranboo:

-Tommy's classmate, psychic medium

-He's never had many friends and mostly chooses to spend his days alone on the Internet

-Ranboo has always been different. He sees things that haven't happened yet, he knows things that others don't. He has heightened sensitivey that makes him feel emotions from people, objects and places just by looking at them. This trait runs in his family.

-It gets overwhelming, so to deal with it Ranboo wears special sunglasses that allow him to see things without feeling their emotions

-But, from the moment he sees Tommy when he's introduced to the class, not even the glasses can dim the danger and foreboding clouding him

-So, curious, Ranboo tries to befriend him.

-And fails repeatedly. Because Tommy is just as closed off as his emotions scream.

-It takes so much trust building - and Ranboo persistently inviting Tommy over for dinner, or to hang out after school - but eventually Tommy let's him in and the two become the best of friends

-Ranboo learns the reason for the sadness clouding Tommy when he tells him about his parents and his childhood in the orphanage.

-Tommy also enlists Ranboo to help him with these 'investigations' into some deaths that have happened on the grounds of his house. Ranboo doesn't know why Tommy is so keen of figuring these seemingly random deaths out, but he is happy to help anyway

-As for the danger that surrounds Tommy? He finds that out when he meets Dream.

-He sees Dream when he comes to pick up Tommy from his house one day. Ranboo watched from his bedroom window as Tommy walked to the car and he caught sight of Dream in the driver's seat. And the amount of fear, and anger, and all out danger that stems from him overwhelmed Ranboo to the point where he hyperventilates

-That's the point where he realises the exact amount of danger Tommy is in.

-And he takes it upon himself to protect his only friend.

Alright, I just might have to write this one (even though I have so many other wips I need to work on). Idk what it is but this just feeds the worms in my brain. Ill expand on this in the future, might add more ghosts and I'm currently making fanart for this au as I'm writing this :))

au where Tommy is an orphan, right. He never knew his family and has lived in a shitty orphanage his whole life. Then one day, he inherits a shit ton of money and land from a distant relative he never knew existed.

Which is great, right? Lots of money, a big ass house, no more shitty orphanages. Sounds fantastic!

One thing though, the aforementioned bigass house? Yeah, it's smack bang in the middle of a bigger ass graveyard - Which Tommy also owns now.

Oh, and it's infested with ghosts (the rest of the SMP) that only Tommy seems to see.

And like, all the ghosts are from different eras in time. Like Wilbur is a poet from the 1800's, Phil is a grounds keeper from the 80's, Niki is a baker from the 17th century, Puffy is a pirate captian that died while docking at the house, Tubbo is a victorian chimney sweep and Techno is a Knight ect.

But here's the thing: all the ghosts died under mysterious circumstances and they can't move on to the next life until they figure out how they died. So not only does Tommy havd to deal with going to a new school - and this kid named Ranboo that is perisitent on befriending him (Tommy is quite against this, because yknow, he's got a little ghost problem) - a creepy butler named Dream that acts like a character out of a stereotypical murder mystery movie; he also has to solve multiple centery old mysteries to help his new friends find peace.

over the garden wall au where Wilbur is Wirt, Tommy is Gregg, Tubbo is Beatrice, Ranboo is the woodsman, Dream is the beast and Techno is a literal pig instead of the frog. That is all. Good night.

sbi headcanons but it's mostly Tommy, Wilbur and Techno

-Wilbur and Techno are twins. Techno is older by five minutes and never fails to mention that when he and Will are arguing. This pisses Wilbur off to the extent where he starts throwing shit.

-"You can't just come in to my room and steal my shit!" "Yes I can I'm older than you." "We're twins!" "You need to learn to respect your elders."

-They're both naturally blonde but got annoyed when people kept mixing them up with the other, so they dyed their hair pink and brown respectively.

-Wilbur is the one that will constantly bully Technoblade, but the moment someone else does it he'll rush in to defend his brother by force.

-That being said, ever fight always ends with Wilbur calling for Techno's help. And Techno always floors a bitch.

-They both did ballet. Techno is the only one that stuck to it though. Wilbur gravitated more to music.

-Wilbur tried so hard to teach Techno to play the guitar but he kept snapping the strings.

-Tommy is adopted. He was only a baby when Phil adopted him and it was a closed adoption so he doesn't remember much about his birth family.

-Sometimes, when he misses them, he'll make up stories about them in his head. His personal favourite is that his mother is an astronaut named Clara that had to go up for a mission and that's the reason she gave him up for adoption, but her ship got stranded in space and now she just floats among the planets.

-He told this to Phil once, when he was only six and made a drawing of Clara the Astronaut. Phil put up on the fridge right next to Wilbur's report card and a flyer for Techno's ballet recital.

-Wilbur was ecstatic when he found out he was getting a younger brother so he could pull the 'I'm older card' on someone for once.

-Technoblade (though he will never, ever admit it, not on his life) was extremely fond of Tommy from the moment Phil brought him home and was often the one actively playing with him all the time.

-The two of them used to play a game they called 'Warriors' where they would wrap sheets around their shoulders, carry around sticks from the backyard like swords and pretend to take down corrupt goverments. It's a special thing, just between them.

-Phil thought that Tommy was a bit young to be taking down corrupt governments.

-"You can never be too young to convert to anarchy, dad"

-Wilbur tried to get in on this game once. He was cast as the evil king they had to kill and it ended with Will covered in mud and dirt. He never asked to play again.

-This game is where Techno is given the nickname 'The Blade' by Tommy. (He had the dopeyest smile on his face while Tommy's back was turned)

-No one else is allowed to call Techno The Blade. Only Tommy. Techno will not respond to it if you do.

-Techno is also the first person Tommy goes to when he needs anything. Especially help with homework. This is because Techno can't say no to Tommy. Ever.

-Of course, Tommy exploits this. Especially when he and Will are arguing.

-There has been many "No please don't tell dad I didn't mean it I didn't mean look hit me back just hit me back" moments

-None of the boys knows what Phil does for a living. The man's life is a mystery to them each time he steps out the door for work.

-Board games are a big thing in the family. They have game night every week. Winner picks what they have for dinner.

-Monopoly isn't that competitive. They don't play it often because Techno wins after ten rounds and Wilbur gives long dramatic speechs about the world of capitalism and the economy. Tommy is always the racecar.

-But pictionary??

-Now that's their shit.

-None of them have any artistic talent (apart from Phil, who can draw dogs pretty well) and it usually results in threats of pencils being stabbed on one's eye and sheets of paper forcefully ripped up and, on Tommy's part, eaten.

-This happens most when Wilbur and Tommy are teamed up together.

-"What the fuck even it that? A headless chicken? Oh! A three legged dog! Uh, uh, a unicorn!" "The answer was chocolate chip cookie, Wilbur you blind fuck."

-For one of Techno's recitals, Wilbur and Tommy made a giant ass sign that said 'DANCE YOU PINK HAIRED FUCKER DANCE' in huge glittery writing.

-the spacing was all off though, like that one John mulaney bit.

-Techno pretended he didn't know them afterwards. The stubborn bastard walked home.

here me out.....Wilbur and Techno

alright I have an au idea that im about to badly explain but it's a little strange so stick with me.

I call it: 'The Parent Trap but Opposite' au

So picture this: Tommy is Phil's only child, right. His mother died in childbirth so for his entire eight years of life its just been him and Phil. And that's fine, that's great, he loves it. Tommy doesn't want another addition to the family, it would only screw everything up.

That being said, Phil is lonely. Don't get him wrong, he loves his son and loves spending time with him, but he misses the feeling of being in love. He misses his wife.

Enter, Kristen.

They meet on a blind date, set up by a friend from Phil's work, and hit it off instantly. Months pass and Phil wants to propose.

One problem though. He hasnt told Tommy about it. He hasn't even introduced Kristen to him.

So what better way to merge both families that a holiday?

(I should probably say here that Kristen also has children. Take a wild guess who they are.)

Tommy is all for a holiday. Two weeks at a fancy ass hotel with room service, an arcade and a pool? Sign him up!

That is until, he finds out that Kristen and her boys will be joining them.

Enter, Wilbur and Techno.

(They're about fourteen. Their parents are divorced and, unlike Tommy, they knew Kristen was seeing Phil. They alse know that Phil is gonna propose - well, it's just a hunch)

Phil, god bless him, tries his hardest to get Tommy to warm up to Kristen, Wilbur and Techno. He plans all these activities and takes them all shopping, to the beach, to waterparks ect. But Tommy just won't take to them; he doesn't mind Kristen but Wilbur and Techno are weird, they keep making these cryptic comments about how they're going to be seeing eachother a lot in the future and Tommy just does not understand.

That is, until they decide to let Tommy in on the obvious.

Tommy, as expected, is in denial. Because there's no way his dad would do something like that without telling him first. Besides, Phil doesn't need to get married, they're perfectly happy just the two of them.

There's just no way.

Right?

Wrong.

Because Tommy is a curious little shit and he ransacks his and Phil's hotel room in search for the ring. He doesn't find it, of course, because Phil is used to Tommy's little raccoon tactics and hid it properly. But when he comes back from dinner with Kristen to a destroyed room and a confused Tommy, he decides to tell him the truth.

Needless to say Tommy has a fit. One moment, he's happy; just him and dad, living life. And then this lady and her shitty sons come along and fucks that up

(I imagine the conversation being something like:

Phil: Yeah im gonna propose Kristen

Tommy, inhaling deeply: *screams*

And then it would proceed to reinact that once scene from Steven universe with ruby and sapphire like-

phil: he'll eventually tire himself out :'D

Tommy, making even more of a mess than he already has: that's what you think! I am an eternal flame baby!! >:(

Yeah.)

Tommy, ever the drama queen, storms to Wilbur and Techno - who are like "we told you so :/" - and the three of them (because Techno and Wilbur also do not want this little racoon gremlin hybrid in their home either) team up and plan to ruin the proposal. The only problem, they don't know when Phil is gonna actually propose.

And this...this is where the hijinks and shenanigans ensue.

They just like, constantly ruin Phil and Kristen's date nights with their dumb shit.

(I'm thinking shit like the three of them stacked on each others shoulders in a trench coat pretending to be a waiter at the hotel restaurant Phil and Kristen are eating at and constantly spilling drinks and food of them whenever it looks like Phil is about to pop the question; following them on walks under the stars, hiding in bushes with binoculars and making birds attack them; tackling Phil into the pool ect. ect. ect.)

But, plot twist, while pulling off these epic plans, the three of them...bond! Dun dun dunnnnn!!! Wilbur and Techno actually grow to like Tommy and think "Hey, maybe this kid ain't so bad" so they back out on the plans and try to convince Tommy to do the same. He won't.

(Meanwhile, Phil is just wondering why all his proposal attempts have gone so fucking wrong like???)

Anyways, fast forward. Its the last day of their holiday the two families go out for dinner. Its nice, they're having a good time, Kristen is chatting away to Tommy about Minecraft and Tommy is happy to tell her all about his favourite game. And then, Phil clears his throat.

He starts talking about Kristen and how happy he makes her, and Tommy can tell what's coming the moment Phil reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small black box. And, in a final attempt to keep the life he has, Tommy snatches the box out of Phil's hand and fucking runs.

He runs right out of the restaurant, ignoring everyone calling after him, and doesn't stop running until he's on the beach, where he hides. And he cries. He cries because his dad is gonna replace him with Techno and Wilbur, and he misses his mum even though he never met her, and because this he knows that stealing a ring and running away isn't gonna stop this proposal from happening, and because the only family dynamic he knows is going to change and he isn't ready for that. And it's just a big angst moment.

And then some fluff.

Kristen finds him hidden by the rocks, and Tommy quickly pretends he wasn't just crying bc he's a big man and shit like that. He half expects her to immediately call for Phil and then for Phil to disown him, but instead she sits with him.

She asks if he's OK and when he doesnt answer her she just goes on talking about random things as if Tommy didn't just ruin their entire holiday (about shit like how she thought the cake at the restaurant was too dry and about the stars and different constellations and she even continues asking him about minecraft) and Tommy, after a while, talks back to her.

They talk for a while, arguing about the best Minecraft block (Tommy wholeheartedly defending cobblestone like his life depends on it) until eventually Kristen asks why he did what he did. And Tommy explains everything (that can basically be summed up in "I'm scared of change")

It's just a wholesome moment really. They're just sitting behind a bunch of rocks, Tommy is spilling his guts and Kristen is just listening. And at then end of it she's there to give him a big hug.

(I imagine Tommy saying that one cliche line "please don't hurt my dad" and Kristen being like "I wouldn't dream of it" and then Tommy gives her the ring box)

But yeah, happy ending! Phil proposes to Kristen on the beach and it's all happy and nice and cool and Tommy, Techno and Wilbur watch and Techno starts crying a little bc he's so happy for his mum.

...

I came up with this last night when I couldn't sleep.

Yes this is brilliant, glaxay brain shit right here!!

another twitter thing :DD

I'm imagining Wilbur singing Cat's Meow while trying to bathe Raccooninnit who is trying to escape

PART 2! 3!
