#timeline d

Evil mk au with timeline D. As I want to and screw it I can't sleep. Also known as surprise baby boy.

It had been a complicated afternoon as the monkey discovered.Wukong found himself trying to comfort his bud through pain the kid wasn't prepared for. It started two hours ago when Mk arrived. He wasn't looking too hot and Wukong tried to send him home again. Yet kid refused as he just wanted to learn something.

Gwendolyn Clawthorne seeing her daughter's curse and her husband's wound, she called an old family acquaintance for help.

Mr. Wittebane appeared at the residence, and healed her husband's wounds; but Gwendolyn had one more request. She begged him for a cure for Edalyn's curse.

Philip refused as this was beyond his ability, but Gwendolyn insisted, and he was too kind to refuse to try to find a cure.

He knew better than anyone his own abilities, removing curses were impossible for him.

(He wouldn't be cursed if he had such ability...)

Philip started talking to Edalyn, trying to make her understand that her family wasn't upset; Edalyn claimed that he couldn't understand how she felt.

(Lilith was hiding nearby, listening to the conversation...)

Philip replied that he understands, having been in a rather similar situation in the past.

He tells her about how a powerful entity decided to curse him.

He had been cursed with eternal life, seeing those he loved to die. The worst part was that it was going to be his fault.

Philip said that he had almost murdered his brother, under the influence of the curse.

His brother had tried to convince him, but he couldn't stay around, knowing that he would kill his family unconsciously.

He ran away and hid, never saw him again, his brother had died, He couldn't be in his last moments.

I'll do both but here's the writing one first)

Macaque never thought he find himself in absolute awe at Wukong like he was in this particular moment.

The sage never seemed so peaceful before in his sleep. Macaque carefully put the food he went out to get down. His peaches soft snores making the demon monkey's heart flutter.

"look at you Peaches" Macaque said softly under his breath as he walked over, and lightly put his hand on the monkey king's cheek," just so peaceful in your sleep. Here I was thinking you wouldn't get any while I was gone. Be better if you were in bed"

A soft chuckle left his throat as he kissed the sage's forehead. It was nice to see him like this. The kid was probably only a month or two away at this point. Wukong stirred slightly mumbling in his sleep.

"shhh sleepy head. I'm just going to take you to bed" Macaque said softly as he carefully went to picking Wukong," you really shouldn't sleep on the couch Peaches."

For the love heaven, macaque held back a squeal as Wukong nuzzled into his chest. He was glad he was immortal because he thought his heart stopped from all this sweetness. He carried Wukong to bed and carefully laid the pregnant monkey down.

That's good let do timeline D since it got no love at the moment)

Wukong found himself clutching his stomach as he looked around. The demon monkey had to be some where around here right? He hadn't made himself or, them in unneeded danger had he? The great sage didn't want to yell out for the monkey he was looking for.

He was still rethinking the whole idea of telling Macaque at all. Tell the demon who wants to kill you that you had a new weak point didn't sound like the greatest idea.

"if he doesn't show himself soon we'll head home okay kiddo." Wukong said softy to himself his thumb rubbing the non-existent bump,"I don't want you getting hurt"

"well isn't this a surprise" A familiar voice said mockingly in the distance. Wukong looked around trying to locate where Macaque was at,"you came looking for little old me this time Wukong."

"show yourself! I didn't come here to fight" The Monkey King yelled back as he let go of his stomach with one arm in An attempt to block a possible on coming attack.

"oh is that so. You don't want to fight huh? Then why are you here?" Macaque teased, making the great sage's grip on his abdomen tighten.

"I have something to tell you and I'd rather it to you in person. Face to face" Wukong said still trying to locate where exactly Macaque was," it's actually pretty important but if you rather I just leave I'll do that. I am in no mood to play games with you Macaque."

"Fine Peaches" Macaque said as he appeared behind Wukong. He was messing with the sage for shits and giggles but he did find it a bit particular at just jumpy the sage was. Wukong look slightly relieved to look at him.

"Glad we could come to a understanding" Wukong said as he looked at macaque for a moment. He took a second to breathe and calm his nerves," I...I'm ...I'm pregnant."

Macaque chuckled thinking it was a joke at first as he crossed his arms and raised a brow"you really expect me to believe that Peaches are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking." Wukong said in a serious tone," I've checked and I can't even eat peaches without throwing up. Do you know how hard it is for me not to stuff a peach in to my mouth? It has been a stru-"

Wukong had to stop and hold his mouth. Really nausea? Right now, in front of macaque. Thankfully there was a bush nearby. Macaque's eyes widened when wukong ran to said bush and violently threw up.

"OH- you...you really are pregnant" Macaque said a bit panicked as he went to Wukong's side. He did a complete 180, putting a hand on Wukong's back,"h-how?"

"do I really have to explain ho-" Wukong said before throwing up again and grabbing on to Macaque to stay on his feet. He was really hoping not to get drained this fast.

Okay, so, we’re starting where we left off, which, as a reminder, is with Foolish and Herobrine in a cave with a body to bury and a newborn to take car of. Of these two things, the easiest to deal with is probably the dead body. Both of them have significantly more experience with corpses than with children. (They bury Lucia the same way they did in timeline a).

Now, in timeline a, Foolish and Herobrine got a lot closer after the whole “fighting off the Crimson” incident for three reasons. One, they spent a lot of time together while investigating and preparing.

Two, Herobrine got possessed. For Herobrine, the fact that he had somehow managed to break out of the Crimson’s control rather than kill Foolish really nailed down how important Foolish was to him. For Foolish, being in a situation where Herobrine was attacking him, where he could’ve easily justified killing him, but didn’t, because he didn’t want to managed to do the same thing for Foolish. The fact that both of them trusted each other enough that being forced to fight was so distressing kinda came as a shock to both of them.

Neither of the above two points change in timeline d. The third point, which is that they bonded over dealing with the fact that they had failed, doesn’t. Because while they didn’t succeed at rescuing Lucia, they at least managed to keep Saint away from the Crimson. Instead, they ended up bonding over suddenly having to take care of a baby together.

Speaking of which. Neither of them actually know how to take care of a baby. Foolish maybe vaguely remembers helping take care of his younger siblings, but that was well over 3 millennia ago by this point, so he doesn’t actually remember it super well. Herobrine has never had to deal with children in his life. So uh. Needless to say, things are a bit rough at first. But they figure it out eventually.

d!Bad (I’m assuming he picked up that nickname at some point, and it just stuck, because I can’t think of an alternative other than Saint, and I doubt Foolish and Herobrine would call him that) had a fairly happy childhood, with two loving, if a bit chaotic, parents. The Eternal Duo timeline plays out mostly as normal up until 1945, except they ended up moving in together a lot earlier due to the whole “jointly adopting a child” thing. (Before officially moving in, Herobrine just spent all his time at Foolish’s. Foolish said he could take care of Bad alone if Herobrine wanted to leave, but Herobrine pointed out that Foolish definitely couldn’t, because babies are a lot of work, and Foolish’s sleep schedule is shit in the best of times. He didn’t want to admit that despite his… initial misgivings, he had gotten attached to Bad very quickly).

Other than that, the main difference in their lives is just that Bad is there for most of it. Even after he technically was an adult, he still kinda stuck around the same general area, at least.

When the plague hit, Bad was in his late teens (in demon years). He helped Herobrine in the plague hospitals and with the quarantine efforts. He probably got the plague at least once. He also helped Foolish with designing buildings and stuff. During the Renaissance, he hung around with a lot of the great inventors and artists and thinkers that Herobrine and Foolish were friends with.

Because Herobrine relies so much on demonic magic and spells, I can’t see him not teaching a lot of that to Bad, even if Bad, unlike him, has other very powerful abilities to fall back on. a!Bad knows a fair amount of demonic magic, but d!Bad knows significantly more. Additionally, because Herobrine is friends with Grian, Bad probably grew up with Grian as “the cool uncle who stops by occasionally.” The Crimson doesn’t know that Bad’s mom was a fallen angel, so in timeline a, neither does Bad (up until the reveal, anyway), but timeline d, Bad does. Grian probably taught him a fair amount of angelic magic.

Basically. d!Bad can use his powers a lot better than a!Bad, and also, due to the lack of trauma associated with them, he uses them a LOT more casually.

Side note: you may be wondering why the Crimson doesn’t just try to mind control Bad and/or Herobrine from the nether. We know that Grian knows a spell to keep demons (or angels, technically) from being mind controlled. (This was why Bad and Sapnap didn’t get taken over immediately in the Crimsonpocalypse.) So basically, Grian performed that spell on both Bad and Herobrine the first time he ran into them after the whole adoption thing happened in the first place.

LET'S GO OOOOOOO

Fencer I Love this timeline so far

Right. So.

Another one of these. Really takes you back, huh?

Anyway. I was thinking about the theoretical timeline where Bad was adopted by Foolish and Herobrine instead of being taken by the Crimson. (By “thinking” I mean “thinking and also rambling extensively in the tt-au-general-2 channel of the discord). Basically, I have some rough ideas for how a crossover episode would go. For the sake of clarity, I’m gonna refer to this timeline as timeline d. Basically, I’m following the same format as timelines a and b, but skipping over “c” because when referring to a version of a character from a specific timeline, I often put that letter in front of their name (Ex: a!Puffy, b!Puffy), so because “c!” already has a specific meaning, I figured it would be less confusing to skip to d.

Additionally, it seems a bit poetic, since the letters b and d are kind of mirrors of each other, just like the timelines they represent. See, when you first hear about timeline b, it sounds terrible, and in many, many ways it is, as I’m sure you know. At the very least, basically everyone’s quality of life is significantly worse. But the whole point is that there’s still hope. Very little intervention is actually required on the part of the visitors from timeline a to turn stuff around, and thinking about it logically, by the end of the episode, the Crimson is actually in a far weaker position in timeline b than in timeline a. As you will see, basically the opposite is true for timeline d.

So let’s get into how this actually happens, shall we? I’m thinking that, unlike with timeline b, the change required to make timeline d split off was accidental. A group of characters, who I’ll get to later, ended up accidentally traveling a good 914 years back in time and kinda sorta accidentally killing a single relatively low-ranked member of the Crimson’s cult. No problem, right? There’s no way that that could cause any problems with the timeline. (/s)

Spoiler alert, it ends up causing a lot of problems with the timeline.

That demon, in timeline a, was there when Foolish and Herobrine stormed the Crimson’s temple. That demon, in timeline a, hid behind some pillars while they slaughtered most of the others. That demon, in timeline a, was taken over by the Crimson just before Herobrine. That demon, in timeline a, grabbed the newborn infant Saint and took him back to the nether while Herobrine was under the Crimson’s control and Foolish was busy fighting Herobrine.

In timeline d, that demon was dead, and so did none of these things. In timeline d, instead of being left alone and defeated in a cave with nothing but a body to bury, Foolish and Herobrine were left mostly alone and at least partially victorious in a cave with nothing but a body to bury and a newborn infant to take care of.

Oh my

How will this cause issues for our friends I wonder
