#i LOVE the idea of Philza adopting all these hybrid children bc he himself is a hybrid

[demonboyhalo]

i'm quite fond of a half phantom Phil who has lived through much more than it appears. he's a not quite godly not quite mortal man, and with his instincts constantly on high, he has survived long enough to remember hybrid killing being a common practice.

it's after years of living solo, decades of running from humans hunters, that Phil is done with slaughtering every challenger that approaches. he's realized that the friends he had before going into hiding are now long dead, and so are his enemies (what he's truly realized is that he's alone, but he doesn't acknowledge that)

it's with rusty charisma and a loose fitting robe that Phil spreads the rumor of a brave human who ventured to the End and came back with an elytra - and gradually, Phil becomes able to travel with his phantom wings unbound. it's strange to have hero worship from villagers whose ancestors hunted him, but undeniably useful. he has influence everywhere...and when he sees a half piglin child fighting in death matches, he realizes he can use that power to sweep the poor hybrid away.

so then, entirely on accident, it becomes a hobby of his. Phil travels the world as a hero to humans while saving hybrids at night - but since he never does things by half, he becomes a legend. he fights a naval fleet to help a sheep girl they had captive, burns down a town to save a half enderman in a water trap, and takes down a cartel while chasing a mischevious duck hybrid. it's terrifying that he could be outed at any moment, but helping others after spending years in hiding? knowing that he's changed the lives of some kid like him? that makes the danger all worth it.

#i might add on to this but #i LOVE the idea of Philza adopting all these hybrid children bc he himself is a hybrid #and with the end closed...how else would he have his wings?? #mcyt #dream smp #philza #ph1lza #technoblade #sbi #the characters he saves in the last paragraph; #captain puffy #ranboo #quackity #i can see quackity as a charismatic guy who gets the cartel who captured him to give him some leeway #like letting him be a lawyer 'for the cause' #and then quackity gets some court judge to give him some money and he runs away #maybe quackity finds a red light district to live in and that's how he knows how to strip dance LMAO #headcanon
