Chapter 1: AUTHOR'S NOTE pt. 2
Summary:
My final decision on moving forward with the Wilbur and Shubble situation with this fic. (sorry to all the strictly UT fans that have had to see this drama lol)
(Last author's note has been deleted and with the next chapter upload this one will be, too)
Chapter Text
If you haven't seen yet, I'm sorry you have to hear it from silly old me. Wilbur himself confirmed that he was Shubble's abusive ex on Twitter, and his "apology" was less than sub-par.
Technoblade will offically be replacing Wilbur, and Wilbur will not make any appearances going forwards. (Though, if you have any suggestion for characters that are close to Phil and could potentially be his sidekick, please let me know!! Right now I'm thinking Chyanne or nothing, but at the same time Jack Manifold or something would be absolutely HILARIOUS. anyway back to the serious--)
I suggest you all stop following, watching, and listening to Wilbur AND Lovejoy. There are always other people to watch and other bands to listen to. (If you only ever listen to Lovejoy and you don't know what else to listen to, I would suggest Surf Curse, Vundabar, Current Joys, Sir Chloe, and Penelope Scott. While they're not the same, they have a reletively similar sound.)
I also want to tell you all that you are not a bad person for wanting it to not be true, or for this all to be a big misunderstanding. We all loved Wilbur Soot, and it's hard to so abruptly stop liking him. While it's not fun to shun one of your favourite people, you should never EVER support an abuser. It's okay to dissapear for a little, maybe even leave the fandom completely. It's okay to do that for your own mental health or just because you want to.
We should all respect and support Shubble and everyone else coming out about Wilbur Soot's abusive behavior. Seperating the character from the "actor" is still a very grey zone, but you should not feel bad for wishing to enjoy the CHARACTER Wilbur. Maybe just wait a bit to post anything related to him that isn't explicitly saying that you don't support him, and even then make sure to say "I do not support CC Wilbur" for the future.
I hate him and how this turned out as much as I'm sure you all do as well. Feel free to give (BREIF AND NOT IN DEPTH WITH TWS) vents in the comments on this chapter. (keep in mind that this chapter will be deleted with the next update, though.)
Notes:
TLDR: Wilbur is gone forever and has been permanently been replaced with Technoblade.
Chapter 2: CHAPTER ONE
Summary:
In which Papyrus has Been Kidnapped™ and meets The Gang™
Chapter Text
If you were to ask Papyrus what he was doing blindfolded and tied up to what was most likely a lawn chair with two strangers arguing very loudly in front of him, he would say that he didn't know.
If you were to ask the two fighting srangers that had tied him up in the first place, they would say something along the lines of "we don't fucking know! We think they broke into our very-secret-evil-not-just-a-warehouse-top-secret-supervillain-base and took a fucking nap for some reason????" At least, that's what Papyrus assumed they would say, based on how they had been talking so far.
"Okay, but what are we going to tell Techno?" one of the strangers asked with a sort of franticness in their voice.
"Do you think I know? I'm just as lost as you are!" the other one screamed.
"UM, I'M AWAKE NOW," Papyrus called hesitently.
Silence befell the room.
"Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit," one of them started chanting, though they were quickly cut off by a loud SLAP!
"Get yourself together, bitch! We have a job to do!" the other one cut them off. "Who are you? A hero? A wrongen? The police? A tory?"
"UM, NONE OF THOSE? MY NAME IS PAPYRUS, THOUGH!"
"Papaya, hm?" Quietly now, the person said, "do we know a Papaya?"
"Like the fruit? I don't think so," the other one whispered back, "what a lame hero name, though."
"DO YOU THINK YOU COULD REMOVE MY BLINDFOLD, PLEASE?" At the resounding silence, the Skeleton Man continued, "I PROMISE I WON'T DO ANYTHING!"
"Pinky promise?" one of them asked skeptically.
"SWEAR IT ON THE SIX SOULS."
Papyrus heard footsteps go behind him before he was finally allowed to see.
He was, in fact, tied to a lawn chair. He was, in fact, inside a warehouse. And he was, in fact, kidnapped by humans.
"HELLO, HUMANS! COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I GOT HERE?" he asked as he discretly CHECKed them.
*TommyInnit - 21 ATK 18 DEF
*Has plot armor.
*Tubbo - 17 ATK 23 DEF
*Does not have plot armor.
The comments were bit odd, but not the strangest Papyrus had ever seen.
"We should be asking you that question, bitch!" The blonde one, "TommyInnit" yelled. He was wearing a red hoodie with white sleeves and a white hood and black jeans. Whenever Papyrus tried to focus on his face, he found that the details seemed to slip away from him. It was... mildly concerning.
"I WOULD TELL YOU IF I KNEW, HUMANS!!!" Papyrus responded chipperly, as always.
The smaller one--a brunette with a similar outfit but the hoodie was green and also had the weird face thing going on--crossed his arms at Papyrus suspisiously. "How can we trust you?"
"I DON'T KNOW, BUT I PROMISE I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!!" Papyrus responded.
"Hmm..." the brunette, Tubbo, Papyrus reminded himself, hummed, body language still closed in suspicion. "Okay!" they suddenly said, clapping their hands cherrily.
"OH, GREAT! COULD YOU UNTIE ME, THEN?" Papyrus skipped over the sudden change in trust in favour of regaining mobility.
Tubbo looked at the other human, TommyInnit, and TommyInnit nodded while quickly making work of the ropes binding Papyrus to the lawn chair.
"THANK YOU!" He smiled, rubbing his wrists. Bones couldn't really get rope burn, but Papyrus felt that it was appropriate for the situation.
"You're welcome, bitch," TommyInnit responded off-handedly.
"SO... WHERE AM I??" Papyrus asked the two humans.
"Our very-secret-evil-not-just-a-warehouse-top-secret-supervillain-base, of course!" TommyInnit exclaimed, loud and proud.
"OH! THAT IS VERY COOL!" Papyrus grinned. "BUT, OF COURSE, NOT AS COOL AS ME." Papyrus posed dramatically, his scarf waving in non-existant wind.
TommyInnit crossed his arms at him.
"I dunno, man. You seem pretty mediocre to me," TommyInnit said, like it was just a fact.
"OH." Papyrus ignored the pang of hurt-dissapointment that punched his SOUL like a human highschool bully and covered it up with strong bravado. "WELL, THAT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO KNOW ME YET!! IN DUE TIME YOU WILL SEE HOW VERY GREAT I AM. AFTER ALL, THEY DON'T CALL ME THE GREAT PAPYRUS FOR NOTHING!"
"The Great Papaya? Never heard that," TommyInnit took on a sassy pose.
"THAT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT FROM AROUND HERE!" That much was obvious. I mean, Papyrus hadn't been on the surface for a few good RESETs and no RESET had ever started on the surface.
"Oh? Where are you from?" Tubbo asked, curiosity thick in his voice.
"NOT HERE!!"
Tubbo's body language went back to closed and suspicious. "Yeah, we got that, dipshit. Where'd you come from?"
"NOT HERE!!" Papyrus responded in the same tone and infliction as before.
Tubbo and TommyInnit exchanged a single glance before a loud BANG sounded from somewhere in the very-secret-evil-not-just-a-warehouse-top-secret-supervillain-base.
"Oh no," TommyInnit and Tubbo said in unison.
"Fucking Nether, Tubs, we aren't supposed to be here!" TommyInnit whisper-shouted.
"I know!" Tubbo whisper-shouted back, "I'm the one that picked up when he called us at three AM telling us to 'stay home and get a proper job, nerds, being a supervillain is too dangerous and I don't want to traumatise you two more than you already have been' or whatever."
Papyrus saw his chance to prove his greatness to TommyInnit and took it with both hands very aggressively.
"I COULD COVER FOR YOU TWO IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE A SPEEDY ESCAPE!" He whisper-whispered, which still came out as a whisper-shout. Listen, it wasn't his fault non-skeletons percived his font as loud!
"What'er you guys doing?" A very sleep-deprived voice said. It was another human. They had long pink hair and a thick blanket sitting on their shoulders, covering their pyjamas, and didn't have the weird face thing going on. They looked exausted and they were rubbing their eyes with as much conviction as Sans, Papyrus's brother, did when he was woken up (which wasn't very much).
Papyrus spared one glance at the humans' nervous expression before he decided to take action.
"HELLO, HUMAN!!!" he announced.
The human stared at him for a moment, two, three, four, five...
"It's too early for this," the human mumbled before promptly turning around and walking to a door an absurdly long distance from where he was standing. It took a good two minutes before he reached it, and all the while Papyrus and the two humans watched him go.
Once the door closed, the two remaining humans looked at eachother before bursing into giggles.
"That went better than I thought it would!" Tubbo said between giggles.
"Yeah! He didn't even tell us to leave!" TommyInnit's grin turned mischevious. "Hey Papaya, why don't you go over to him so me and Hornet can get home, huh?" he asked.
Papyrus squinted at him. TommyInnit seemed to be trying to set him up for something, but he couldn't really tell what.
"OKAY, HUMAN! I WILL GO AQUANT MYSELF WITH YOUR LEADER(?)!!" Papyrus grinned widly and stared running to the door the human had dissapeared through.
Notes:
Roast me if you see a typo/hj
Clingy duo: *freaking tf out*
Papyrus: I GUESS WE'RE DOING THIS NOW! VERY EXCITING!
