#techburza

wip of a little au im working on. brownie points if you can guess what it is, i'll be very impressed if you do.

Honestly Tommy probably needs all three of his dads to get out of trouble (≧▽≦)

But jokes aside I have many Thoughts on these three and their gremlin son.

There are times when Techno is the Cool dad and Wilbur is the Fun dad and Phil is the Responsible™ dad.

But there's also times when Phil pulls out a shulker full of air strikes and becomes a chaos gremlin alongside Tommy or Techno becomes the Overprotective paranoid dad (which comes with an added bonus of stacked armor) or Wilbur becomes the Cringey goofball dad.

It all depends on the day and the situation. 

Tommy wants to go exploring the new mineshaft? He better be able to find Techno or Phil first. Sure, they'll strap him down with armor and half an inventory full of potions before letting him join them down there. Phil even lets him hold a Totem of Undying! But at least they don't flinch away from mobs and drag him back home at the earliest sign of a cave spider spawner, Wilbur.

Say Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo find a tiny chick inside a cardboard box abandoned in the rain. Their best bet is to find Techno. They don't even have to make puppy dog eyes at him, one glance at her shivering and peeping and Techno has her scooped up in his arms and is coaching the boys on putting together a heated nest for her. He doesn't even bat an eyelash at the TOTALLY AWESOME name they gave her. And when Phil and Wilbur step into their bedroom that night, they aren't even surprised when Techno introduces them to Pogchirp who sits happily in her new nest at the foot of their bed.

And those times Tommy is stuck inside during the summer storms or winter blizzards but is just bursting with energy? Sure, Techno can drone on about his books and legends, but those are more suited for nighttime stories (no Tommy doesn’t need a bedtime story he’s a MAN, but if Techno wants to read him something, he won’t argue). He always ends up falling asleep listening to them. When he goes to Phil, he always gets some chores to do around the house. It gets his energy out, but it’s so BORING. Tommy wants adventure! Those days, there’s no one better to go to than Wilbur. He’ll make up some tale about conquering countries in the the kitchen and scavenging for treasure in the attic. If they’re lucky, he’ll manage to rope Phil and Techno in for a grand battle. After, he and Tommy will stand victorious atop their defeated foes until one or the other gets sick of being gloated over and jumps back up to tackle them again.

You got it anon o7

A lil bit au but god Wilbur techburza coming right up

-

Wilbur is the god of Entertainment and Challenge. After millennia watching mortals from afar, he'd grown bored and decided to break convention and start interacting with them. He gathers aspiring mortals and pits them against his challenges.

Wilbur has seen dozens of mortals pass through his challenges. It's the odd challenger that manages to catch his attention, let alone two. Players usually come in pairs or groups of friends, but there's something about dying over and over again that drives them apart. Most don't last more than a dozen failures to save each other from dying before abandoning the group.

But there's two new challengers that Wilbur is absolutely enamored with. Philza and Technoblade. Wilbur's never bothered learning the names of mortals before.

They're competitive but also protective of each other. They catch each other when they stumble and leave each other in the dust to finish first. They joke around when the other challengers grow fearful or angry. When Wilbur drops in between games they talk to him. Like an equal! They make jokes and banter and challenge him. They goad him on to create bigger and harder games. When he bests them they never scream at the sky, cursing his name and domain. They laugh and congratulate him before jumping right back in. When they win over all the other challengers, they cheer each other on and flaunt their wins over the other players in good natured bragging.

One day at the start of a new challenge, Wilbur decides to join them. He cloaks himself in a mortal visage and enters the games alongside Technoblade and Philza. He approaches them with all the self-assurance of an immortal entity high off the buzz and anticipation at starting a new game within his domain.

He learns so many new things dressed down as a mortal. There's no glowing for one thing. No one basks in the light of his power or can tell his domain at a glance. He compensates with a soft yellow sweater. It might give off a bit of a glow, but he hasn't set out any hard rules to this challenge yet. There's also no extra limbs. It makes multitasking so much harder. Of course that doesn't deter him, he's the god of Challenge after all. More important than all the new bits he learns about walking around looking mortal including how much he enjoys his new curly brown hair, he's told to call them Phil and Techno. After a few challenges racing neck and neck to survive, they even give him a nickname, Will.

Techno’s immersed himself in another project and hasn’t talked to them in months? Time to break out the summoning circle. 

The bed’s too cold without him in their cuddle pile? What’s a little late night summoning between boyfriends. 

Phil has been Wilbur's bodyguard since he was a teen. He was rising through the ranks, and when he was placed on guard duty for the heir, he was the only one actually able to keep up with Wilbur and keep him mostly out of danger. He's also Wilbur's first crush. Phil denied all flirting from him and told him he'd only humor him once he hit 18. It only made Wilbur's flirting attempts turn up to eleven once he hit adulthood. 

Techno is the last member of the Blade family formerly allied to the Soot family. He was taken in after his family was decimated, but nothing was done about getting retribution for the attack. Wilbur picked him out as his other main guard, and Techno agreed because he hated every other member of the family. Techno hates how corrupt the families have gotten and is all in favor of overturning the whole thing. He's also vying for revenge on the ones who killed his family. 

He and Phil slot together right away. Phil's able to cut through Techno's stubbornness with surprising ease. The first fight they were in together, Techno was surprised by how competent Phil is since no one else has been able to keep up with him. Techno and Wilbur didn't get along right away, what with Techno angry at the injustice of the world and figuring out what's expected of him as Wilbur's guard. Eventually, Wilbur and Phil got Techno settled into his position alongside them. Wilbur admires the comradery and closeness the two share (is he jealous? No-!). After more than a few times Techno saves his life and Wilbur peeks sees the two spar, Wilbur starts to flirt with him too. Unfortunately, Techno is oblivious as bricks and misconstrues Wilbur flirting with him as a way to make Phil fall for him via jealousy or some weird plot. It doesn't help that he slowly slips into having feelings for both of them after he gets that idea in his head. 

Wilbur is the next in line successor to the Soot family. He really doesn't want to lead the mafia, not like his parents run it now. They couldn't care less about their allies since there's no one left as strong as them (Techno's family used to be as strong but they were 'mysteriously' wiped out). There's no oversight in place so there's a ton of corruption and rule breaking in the ranks and enemy spies hiding in plain sight. His parents run it more like a dictatorship right now than the 'family' they claim to be. 

But there's nothing Wilbur can do to change anything. At least not as he is now. He's too weak - doesn't even have half his Guardians - and the corruption keeps him unable to act. Even when his parents are 'mysteriously' assassinated (a thing their Guardians keep suspiciously tight lipped about), and one of the newly risen-to-power allied families claims the title of Head "until he grows up some more", Wilbur can't even get a word in edgewise. 

So Wilbur, Techno, and Phil start plotting. The new Head is most likely after the Soot family heirlooms. They're Flame powered weapons capable of mass destruction that originally rose them to power years ago. However, they're locked behind bloodline and Flame locks, so the Head won't be able to get them open without Wilbur now that his parents' bodies are missing (Phil has suspicions on how the Head and his parents' Guardians are involved). So their biggest concern right now is getting Wilbur out of the reach of the Head without giving up his claim as rightful heir. He turns 20 in a couple months which was the arbitrary age the Head and allied families gave for him to reach before claiming his position, so he has a bit of time until he can start trying to outmaneuver them.
