#twamnt

What if Mumza claimed Tommy and then kept him in the same timeline? What if, when Dream tried to revive him, he just brought Tommy back from a three month training course in Deathspawn Powers and now there's a foul mouthed, sassy, 100% Done With This Nonsense, blonde, British version of Nico de Angelo running around the server? There's a superpowered Tommy Innit roaming the server, not giving a flying care, telling people straight *facts* and then dodging through shadows when they try to retaliate.

"what if instead of going back in time to when Techno was a kid, he went allll the way back to when Phil was a kid, and adopted him? And then picked the others up alongthe way."

Mayhaps you could write that as a one-shot in the 'shenanigans of a man named theseus' side-work?

(No worries if not though, lol, it's just an idea)

Also, twamnt is definitely one of my Favourite tommyinnit fics, ever. It's so good. Like, omg. Just wanted to letcha know.

Oooooh~! Theseus being Phil's big brother/dad figure could be really fun! Yeah, I can play around with that... When I'm done with the Shenanigans chapter I'm currently working on. (I'm so close but these boys keep *adding scenes*!) Though... With the Lore I'm going with... Hmmm... Yeah, that could *totally* derail the future of Dream's little server. Not that being the Twins' big brother *hasn't* but... Yeah. I think I'll start with a 'highlight reel/snapshot' sort of thing and see where it go... *Oh gosh darn it now you've got gears spinning!*

This could have *totally* fit the current title! Tommy goes back to pre-Empire days, raises Phil, trains with the Imperial 'Blade', then the collapse of the Empire happens, Phil gets reborn as the literal Angel of Death with slightly foggy memories of his past - like everything has happened in a dream - and goes about his days without really worrying about what he'd left behind in his old life. Theseus and The Blade might have died in The Collapse, they might not have, not truly important. Then! Years later when Phil is hopping about, he finds a cobblestone cottage with a piglin hybrid and a blonde man who both tug at those dream-like memories in the back of his mind. Especially when they introduce themselves. And then, one night when he's feeling particularly nostalgic, Phil mentions that there was once a man named Theseus in the Empire and *BAM!* Title drop.

... I think I just outlined the plot of your requested one shot...

Do you realize... The intensity of the brainrot flash that gave me? Like... Ok. Philza is Crow, right? What if there's a raven? What if Crowza met a raven? And it was *on sight*? I don't know if Phil v. Raven, as in the literal *bird* or Phil v. Raven hybrid would be funnier.

Thought! What if the raven hybrid had their own Chat? And Chat followed their Crowfather's lead and picked a fight with the other... Is a group of ravens also called a murder? Would it be Murder on Murder violence?

Hey... I've hit a point in There Was A Man Named Theseus where I'd like to accept some reader feedback. I'll probably add a note to chapter 26 about this as well but... Wanted to open here.

If readers and enjoyers of my fic have any OC suggestions, please let me know! Reblog, ask, or message me with their name, approximate age, pronouns, and as much or as little detail about their appearance, belongings, and personality as you want and I'll do my best to turn them into actual characters in the world. Hybrids are not only allowed but encouraged!

This is one of the really fun parts of online writing, fan content or original: interacting with the audience. I love getting comments and head cannons and theories along with requests. As long as it's reasonable, I'll even do my best to fulfill reader requests, so don't be shy!

Here's a tiny fraction of the Divine Family Tree for background lore in 'There Was a Man Named Theseus.' I *had* to work out how Foolish was Theseus's third cousin twice removed! I had to!

The purple line shows how Foolish is, in fact, Theseus's their cousin twice removed while the green lines show Death's kids and the blue, which is so dark its hard to tell the difference, shows Creation's kids.

Obviously, this isn't *all* of the Divine Family and Theseus is really the only Claimed shown. Oh, and Puffy and Dream are on there because Adoption. I'd have put the rest of SBI on there, but they'd be covered up.

This isnt a tree. Its a bowl of pasta, and we havent even gotten to the times these Diven have incarnated... Mercy.

Phil: Gift Giving and Physical Touch. As someone who travels across worlds, spending minimal time in one place, Phil loves bringing back gifts for his loved ones. It's a treasure hunt with a two-fold reward: the thrill of the find and the look of excitment on his son's face. Sometimes, the best gift he can find in a world is the view and so he draws it, immortalizing a single moment in charcoal and woodpulp. That never changes... But he finds new veiws to cherish, new moments to capture and gift.

The longer he spends with his family, the more freely he gives out little touches: head pats, shoulder squeezes, side hugs, hair ruffles, and back rubs mostly. To his delight, his family soaks up his touch like dried sea sponges. It didnt take long for him to start dragging his boys into his nest and covering them with his wings, holding them close.

Technoblade: Acts of Service and Quality Time. He grew up in a society that vauled what you bring to the Tribe and that lead him to see serving others as a form of love. If someone is struggling, he'll go around behind them and clean the public parts of their den (kitchen, living room, dining room, basically everywhere but the bedrooms) or leave food in their fridge or fix that annoying little thing that they just haven't had time to get around to. It doesn't even matter if they notice. Sometimes he preferes that they don't, that they never know who helped them. After being adopted by Theseus, he found he enjoyed simply being around him. When Theseus took the time to sit down with him in the evenings, asking nothing of him and still giving him that warm smile, Techno thought he'd found the true form of love. He'll silently follow Theseus around during the man's chores, careful not to spook the animals, just so he can hopefully show Theseus the same kind of love.
