Quakitus said in sanβs QandA that one of her regrets is not going with wyll and mugm.
Do you think if she chose the path to follow wyll would they accept her to be on their team?
uuuhhh i think i might be misinterpreting your question... so ill answer in both ways i can read it ;^-^
like... accept her into LE? no. i'd be shocked. LE is extremely exclusive, and even then membership doesnt guarantee safety; wyll and mugm dont even fully trust pinity and pro, as we saw back when they were making negotiations with andromeda. they didnt even make stormz a member back when TE was still around
accept her as an ally? yeah, they already do. they wont refuse someone who will help them
in some hypothetical where quakitus acted differently from the way he did last year:
first of all, quakitus could not have "followed wyll" and prevented gilded break up. im kind of stunlocked to imagine a scenario where wyll stays. because if Q suddenly decided that he was fine with mugmβwell, wyll wouldn't have liked that. he canonically didn't, when Q was fine fighting alongside him to kill dragon and nem
gilded breakup, on wyll's end, was characterized by wyll Looking for things to disparage Q with because he was trying to justify wanting to leave her and assuage his own feelings of guilt. he knew mugm wouldn't really want to join gilded, and his offer of partnership was for wyll exclusively. even if mugm didn't want to actively coerce wyll into leaving his team, and wouldve regarded him the same whether they were actual teammates or not, wyll wanted to be teammates really bad. but he knew he couldnt because Q HATED mugm
if Q just suddenly switched up to perfectly accept mugm and fit wyll's expectations, he probably would've still found something to look down on her for. thats something Q doesn't realize about gilded breakup because it's horrible to contend withβthe fact that wyll left, through no fault of Q's own, simply because he isn't mugm
but okay. lets imagine mugm DOES accept an offer from wyll to join gilded. because, in some world where Q has never ever disliked mugm and, i do genuinely think wyll would try to bring Q and alrey alongβhis best case scenario back then was to "have his cake and eat it too". he really wanted to stay on gilded and team with mugm at the same time, his ideal scenario was integrating mugm into gilded. but he knew he couldnt because of everything i explained above
if Q was not a factor preventing him from doing what he wanted, i think he would've brought mugm into gilded. so again, lets assume mugm accepts this scenario instead of just continuing to go solo and offer support to wyll as an ally
mugm certainly wouldn't have accepted Q on a personal level at first. his exemption to universal gembreak was always solely wyllβQ and alrey were never part of the equation. the only one he wanted to share the end of the server with was wyll. period. and since then, he's never really managed to put anyone else on the same pedestal in his mind. Q would have to do something to earn his respect in order for mugm to even consider placing him in the vicinity
stormz got very very close to that, but ultimately fell short because mugm couldnt bring himself to trust him in a way that made their relationship equal. they were friends for months and mugm still chose keeping his cards close to his chest over taking the same risk with stormz that he did with wyll (irt telling him about the gold gem). at this point in time, quakitus would have to be content with having unreciprocated aspects of his relationship with mugm. he would need to be fine giving trust and honesty and not receiving the same. which is hard to imagine for quakitus*
Even Then, if things were going okay, we would Also have to contend with the same divine intervention that kept mugm from becoming fully attached to stormz
this also assumes mugm shares his secrets with wyll in in the first place, if wyll is still part of gilded. entropy having no one but each other last fall enabled mugm to be more honest than he could've if he also had to factor in the opinions of others, like he would have to in this new version of the scenario. he probably would've been stressed out of his mind about wyll having "another option"βhe already was when he was wyll's only teammate, but now wyll has two other people and mugm is technically the intruder upon their pre-existing dynamicβand it would effect whether he even decides to tell him about gold gem and mani
*this also isnt even factoring into whether Q himself would tolerate having to accommodate so heavily for mugm. assuming Q would share the same sentiments and attitudes as he has now (no tulip), i'm genuinely hard pressed to imagine Q navigating these situations as delicately as needed, and him actually wanting to do that at all. i have a very strong feeling whatever idolization of mugm canon Q has presently built up would very easily be shattered, once he realizes he could not just be himself around mugm and receive the same privileges as wyll. quakitus could craft his personality to be identical to wyll's but he would still need to jump through insane hoops to occupy the same space in mugm's mind simply because he isn't wyll. this is the same roadblock stormz ran into, and it made stormz really jealous for a little bit π i'm not sure if bliss!Q realizes this, when he talks about a perfect utopia wyll+Q+mugm team
like. idk. it would be a really complex scenario but its fun to think about
