Dianthus Caryophyllus

bonus! (information, headcanons)

RANDOM FACTS / HEADCANON ABOUT DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS

- the story setting (time) is placed in 2015. Tommy was 11 years old in high school freshman (7th year) and Techno and Wilbur are 17 years old in senior (10th grade) high school. I'm not American or British so this freshman thing might be different in your case. In my country, we start high school in 7th year if you get what I mean :D

- Examinus Bane is the whole Dream SMP lore. Kingdom of Terra is Earth Esempi (and is the prequel)

- Chaosbane is the Business Bay

- Everyone is rich in this AU with the WasTaken's (Puffy, Dream, Foolish and Drista) and Time's (Eret and Deo) being the wealthiest among all.

- Everyone in the DSMP were the cast of the Examinus Bane adaptation. So yes, all of them have a side work of being an actor and actresses. For DC! Phil and Wilbur's case, some look alikes that looks and acts too similar with their cc personas suddenly appeared, wanting to be included the cast /hj

- DC! SBI is just a dysfunctional family, each having their own traumas. DC! Phil has generational trauma, having manipulative and controlling parents who prioritize fame and wealth over their own son to which was passed down to him when DC! Kristin died. Wilbur has suicidal thoughts and having depression because of Phil, Sally leaving him for Jared, bullies to which his family do not know about, academic difficulties and pressure. Techno carried the other half of pressure his father gave and expects him to carry, don't have anyone to talk to (No friends. Wilbur and him have a strained relationship after the fight and Tommy hates him, or so he thought) and overall loneliness leading him to break. Tommy had been neglected, family problems, replaced by a person he was close friends with, betrayed by his best friend and lost his mother at an early age, thinking it was his fault.

- Billzo is Ranboo's younger brother. Beau is Luke's half sister

- Both Ranboo and Tubbo live together and went on the same college in Snowchester Academy which is situated in southwest of the Greater Esempi (the Central city)

- Benchtrio hang out from time to time and more frequently after the Esempi High Alumni Reunion, Batch 2015.

- Jared is Wilbur's bully. One of the reasons why Wilbur's mental health deterioration. Thus, hearing Sally and Jared became a couple instantly after their break up affected him so much, resulting to several breakdowns and reckless behaviour

- "The Incident" is the cause of Wilbur and Techno's strained twin relationship. A young teenager Techno accidentally found out that Wilbur is self harming and snitch to Phil even though he promised to tell no one. He didn't think the outcome could be worst because Phil wouldn't do anything reckless to his depressed son but news flash, it went south quickly once he found out. Argument played out and the lines, "I don't want to have a broken son" is said (along those lines).

- "I don't want to have a broken son" is said to Phil when he was young by his very own mother so he deeply regretted what he said to Wilbur. Yet he didn't apologized because of his pride.

- DC! Kristin died due to a terminal illness

- Sam, Puffy and Kristin are the golden trio in their time

- The three had a fight because of DC! Kristin's relationship with DC! Phil getting in the way of their friendship. Kristin didn't spend much time anymore and have a "cold shoulder" in interacting with the two. At the end, only Sam and Kristin were able to talk because Puffy is out of reach. When Kristin wanted to apologize, it was too late.

- DC! Karlnapity got married. Both Quackity and Karl wore a dress while Sapnap wore a suit. Close friends and family were invited despite being friends with other celebrities. When Quackity threw the bouquet, George caught it. Later that month, after Karlnapity's honeymoon in Las Nevadas and Kinoko Kingdom in Dream Esempi (country) for two weeks, Dream proposed to George.

- Puffy, Sam and Bad are still teachers in Esempi High. Tommy and the rest occasionally visit.

- Author decided for DC! Wilbur to be dead after their short truce/reconciliation because nothing lasts forever. This can also be a moral lesson that happiness is not permanent:)

       « adding to this, this is a connection to the canon lore where C! Wilbur is off to Utah, leaving C! Tommy alone, again »

       « Similar to this, DC! Tommy is already alone from the very beginning (family wise) and he was still alone at the end but gained new family in the process »

- The term "ancient blood" is used when a person is related to a famous history characters in the past. Such instances is Phil related to Crow Father, Dream related to Smile, Techno Blade related to the Blood God, Skeppy is related to Sapphire, Wilbur is related to Siren and etc.

- The history is basically a retelling of Dream SMP, like Dream is the bad guy and etc. However, original history books were burned down so the current history books are full of lies. Thus, citizens does not exactly know their history. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Tommy together with his mother's ideas, coincidentally and accidentally wrote the exact history of L'manberg, Greater Esempi and etc. Was it a coincidence?

- Basically, history is just repeating itself :D

- Remember that Tubbo and Ranboo invited Tommy for a study session? It was canceled because of Wilbur's sudden death but they did have a study session a month after! And eventually, once a week they would always meet in L'manberg's local library.

- Deo is Karl's family friend and was one of Karl's beta reader

- Karl's works is basically just the whole DSMP Tales

- The room Tommy found is Phil's first courting gift to Kristin. Second gift is an emerald necklace and finally the third gift, is a promise ring making Kristin officially his promised (aka his future wife) and will be wed until they turned into a legal age. Safe to say, Phil's parents weren't happy when they found out and threatened their son to disown them. They died before they get the chance because of a plane crash during business trip.

- During the time skip and after the graduation, Tommy still visits the "office" as he called that room, treasuring it because it holds a very important significance

(you can add more headcanons and comment it! I would love to hear it:))

DISCONTINUED PLANS (mainly because it doesn't fit in the plot I'm going for)

- Ranboo is secretly Dream's half brother / Ranboo is Niki's brother (too long)
- Benchtrio reconciliation (too toxic)
- Wilbur is alive, Techno didn't run away (where's the fun? Where's the twists?)
- No SBI one on one confrontation (too messy and confusing to write)
- Tommy plotting for revenge. An argument will take place at the end where Tommy would snap (plans changed)
- Only slight angst (I added too much at the end lmao-)
- DC! Kristin died on a car crash. Lady Death's identity is revealed (too long)
- DC! Tommy is dead (im not that evil)

NOTES :

This fic is inspired by: Encanto (movie), Ours Poetica by zeeskeit (in ao3), camisado by BexOfCards (in ao3) and Butterfly Reign by SilentTeyz (in ao3).

Wrote this because I want to see an author Tommyinnit with neglectful SBI, semi bad friends Beeduo, Business Bay, Discduo, Feral Boys, Karlnapity, DNF, Goldenduo and more

Didn't plan to add that much angst but my fingers slipped

In this fic, no one is right or wrong. DC! Tommy is an ambiguous character, Ranboo is neither in the right or wrong, we can't blame Phil that much because he was also traumatized by his parents, we can't excuse Wilbur's nor Techno's action and so on. Similar to the Canon DSMP, there are no villains and heroes.

I may or may not forgot about some details that I've written in the past-
