How The SMP Works (Author's Note)

Hello! Sorry about the short chapter just before this! I'm trying to get to the SMP point of the story while also filling out the time in between as best as I can. This author's note is going to be a quick run down of how the SMP chapters are going to work.

As we all know, Technoblade has made it clear that the Sleepy Bois family tree doesn't entirely apply to the SMP. In the Sleepy Bois family tree outside of the SMP, he is one of Phil's sons. The SMP lore doesn't have him as a son, but as Phil's close friend. It's rather easy to fit Amelia into the family tree for the SMP by just making her Phil's wife and the mother of Wilbur, but I wanted to add a different twist to it to add more character to her than just 'Phil's wife'.

Amelia is the biological mother of TommyInnit, not Wilbur. This makes her Wilbur's step mother, but they still have the strong mother-son bond despite them not being related. She feels Phil's despair at Wilbur's death, but her top priority then becomes her biological son, TommyInnit. Technoblade regards her as a close friend much like how he does Phil, but he isn't aware of her being in the Dream SMP until she and Phil flee from L'Manberg.

Amelia is part raccoon, much like how Fundy is a fox. This makes Tommy's 'RaccoonInnit' jokes seem more like he's poking fun at his hidden biology rather than making fun of how he hides under Technoblade's house.

She has wings. This is to compensate for her love of Elytra. Any time it is noted that she is 'flying', she is actually throwing an ender pearl, since Elytra are a taboo item on the SMP. This can also be seen as her using a trident, but I'll be giving her the actual item as a weapon later on in the story, so it's up to you on how you perceive what she's using to travel. This flight rule also applies to Phil.

Amelia doesn't have an opinion on anything that happens during the Dream SMP storyline. For a brief period of time after her joining the SMP, she takes Tommy's side during a majority of his miniscule battles mostly because of him being her son. She has no real thoughts on what he's fighting for, often disagreeing with his opinions, but fights with him anyway. After Wilbur's death and watching Phil grieve over the lose of his son, Amelia makes it known to a majority of the SMP members that she won't be taking part in anything unless Phil does too, preserving her one life to prevent the inevitability of her death as long as possible in order to not cause Phil more pain.

To mark the SMP chapters as the SMP chapters and to separate them from the normal 'IRL', (SMP) will be put in the chapter name, along with the entire chapter being italicized in case I decide to add a break into the chapter for something IRL.

Thank you for reading my story! Hopefully I can continue to write something that intrigues you! Please feel free to comment your ideas or what you like that I've written! I'm always open to help and critique!
