Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I've already seen some people talk about this, but I really think the dynamic between Phil, Ranboo, and Tubbo on the new Powers SMP has the potential of being really, really interesting! When we think about it, all three of them originated from the End, it could be really interesting to see a shared homesickness between them for their old home. But they are now, for some reason, living permanently in the Overworld.
It's also super interesting to think about Tubbo being very protective over the two of them, especially Phil, because Shulker Boxes in actual Minecraft lore are there to protect and keep the treasures of the End, elytras specifically, safe from harm and people who want to take them. So it would make sense with Tubbo being a Shulk that he would instinctually feel the need to protect and be a shield for Phil, who is an Elytrian.
Anyway, I just thought these ideas were super cool and have the potential to make some interesting lore! Do with them what you will!
Random origins headcanons
Wilbur leans firmly into the whole “ghost” bit now, but when he was younger, being called a ghost kinda rubbed him the wrong way. He firmly believes that, while phantoms are real and based in science, “ghosts” are not and he’s conducted several investigations into their existence to prove it. However he still enjoys ghost-hunting as an activity to do with friends, even if he knows it’s a pointless venture. Everyone else is just amused by the existence of a ghost-hunting ghost.
Adding onto this post, Fundy occasionally spits things up by accident. Everyone could be chilling around the Pube, relaxing after a hard day’s work, when Fundy starts choking on his drink and next thing you know Scott discovers what happened to his fortune 3 diamond pick that went missing. If Fundy steals something from you and you’re desperate enough to get it back, just pick him up and start squeezing him like a squeaky toy. You might not find exactly what you’re looking for, but you’re sure to get plenty of other random shit.
Also Fundy’s body works with absolute cartoon logic- to store larger items in his stomach he can unhinge his jaw, and as he swallows it his body will momentarily retain the shape of the object before shrinking back down to its normal size.
Charlie is semi-solid, so he can also store things inside himself by just shoving them through his skin, but they always get covered in slime. Also unwanted things can end up in there so sometimes he’ll just be walking around full of rocks and twigs, maybe a squirrel or two.
Ranboo has noodle arms which he can extend the length of at will.
If he’s out at night or while it’s raining, Tubbo gets really weak and tired and sometimes just passes out. One time Ranboo got caught in the rain and forgot about this, so he messaged Tubbo asking him if he could bring an umbrella. He waited beneath a tree for nearly thirty minutes before Tubbo finally came slowly buzzing up, handing him the umbrella before immediately passing out. Ranboo, grateful but a bit exasperated, carried him home beneath one arm.
Tommy compulsively makes flower crowns when he’s upset (which is pretty often). Tubbo has a chest full of them and is almost always wearing one (for the saturation ofc).
The only way for Tommy to sneak up on someone is by slow-falling onto them because his chicken talons click every time he walks.
Jack has “hair” like Hades from the Disney Hercules movie- it’s a little flame on the crown of his head that can be extinguished, leaving him bald. Jack honestly doesn’t mind it when his hair goes out, but everyone else finds it hilarious for some reason.
Jack’s glasses are prescription because netherfolks’ eyes are generally more sensitive to bright light.
Scott’s eyes normally glow, but when he gets paralyzed and blinded by damage they temporarily fizzle out. Also when he falls back to earth after using his jump boost, he sometimes gets a little comet tail trailing behind him.
Scott likes to hang out both on the roof of the Pube and near the void because the unobstructed view of the stars reminds him of home.
