Tallulah - Tumblr Posts
I’m going to have to be honest here and say that Tallulah’s fringe literally just looks like a very large stool.
As sweet as her relationship with Wilbur is, I can’t stop thinking about it.
First thought when Wilbur wanted to keep the signs from Tallulah.
QSMP Wilbur is the type of parent who will keep art, photos and awards from his child and never throw any of it away.
Why is Tallulah the only one who canonically has hair?
I finally caved and put my not so good but not so bad drawing skills in action.
Very rushed but I like it.
I’m just imagining Phil lying on the floor unable to do anything while Tallulah collapses in an expanding puddle of blood and Chayanne tries to fight an invisible mob all by himself.
NOT THE THEME SONG-!
strange nightmares
I had a really dumb idea for a drabble after todays streams but it's too short to post to my ao3 so here have some Wilbur and Tallulah
(it's not as angsty as it looks) (spoilers for phil's stream and charlie's streams from today) (also I wrote this in like 20 minutes)

“Are you ready to go to bed now, Tallulah?” Wilbur asked, smiling as he set the guitar down on the ground.
Tallulah seemed unsure. Her brows were scrunched as she rolled onto one side, before promptly rolling onto the other. Wilbur wondered if she wasn’t tired yet, but before he could ask, he noticed something troubling.
Her hands were shaking where they clutched at her blanket. It was then Wilbur’s gaze trailed up to her eyes again, and recognized the fear sitting in the brown.
“Are you scared of something?” He asked softly, scooting his chair closer to the end of the bed. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?”
Tallulah stared at him for a moment, her lip trembling as she seemed to have some kind of internal debate with herself. Then, she reached for her notepad on the nightstand, and began to write.
I’m scared I’m gonna have nightmares again
Wilbur blinked. “You’ve been having nightmares?” When Tallulah nodded, he made a pained noise. How long had she been having nightmares for? Did Phil know about them? Did he comfort her when she woke up? What were the nightmares about? Was it because he was gone so often, she didn’t feel safe without him?
“Oh darling,” he murmured, moving to sit on the edge of the bed so he could wrap her in his arms. “You don’t have to talk about them if you don’t want to, but what were your nightmares about?”
He waited for her to finish writing in the notepad before glancing over.
I had two nightmares last night. In one of them me and abuelito and chayanne were on an adventure but then we got killed by a really scary monster and died.
Wilbur hissed out a breath between his teeth. Goddammit, Phil.
While he didn’t doubt that Phil took great care of his granddaughter, Wilbur knew that taking her on all those adventures was going to cause something like this sooner or later. He’d wanted her to keep her childhood innocence for as long as possible, but now she was terrified she was going to get killed by a monster because her grandpa kept putting her in dangerous situations. What kind of a childhood was that?
“I’m so sorry-”
Before Wilbur could finish his sentence, Tallulah started writing again.
The addition said:
In the other one some weird man was standing over my bed and kept singing a song about giving me nightmares
Wilbur blinked. That didn’t sound like a monster dream.
“Did he do anything to you in the dream?” Wilbur asked, tugging her closer.
Tallulah shook her head and wrote: he just kept singing and then he left and now I have it stuck in my head
Hm. That was tricky.
“Well, maybe if we give the song new lyrics we can get that stuck in your head instead, so it’s not as scary,” Wilbur suggested, although he had no idea if that would help at all. “Would you wanna do that?”
If anything, brainstorming lyrics might just take her mind off the other nightmare with Phil and Chayanne, so at least there was that.
After a moment of consideration, Tallulah nodded.
“Okay, you wanna hum me the tune so I can see if I can play it on my guitar?”
Nodding again, Wilbur reached for his guitar as Tallulah cleared her throat. Then, she began to hum.
Only a few notes in, Wilbur recognized the tune. “He sang the fucking Pokemon theme song?!”
Shrinking back at the volume of his voice, Tallulah gave him a confused look.
Wilbur blinked a few times. Should he even try to decipher that one? Where did she hear the Pokemon theme song? They didn't even have Netflix on this damn island!
Fuck. His daughter was somehow having nightmares about Ash Ketchum. Even though he'd never read a parenting book, he was pretty sure they didn't have an advice section for this.
Clearing his throat, Wilbur straightened back up, knowing he needed to focus on getting Tallulah to calm down so she could go to sleep.
"Sorry, uh, I'll explain what a Pokemon is tomorrow," Wilbur said, adjusting the guitar on his lap. "Anyway, uh, I actually already have some lyrics in mind for that if you wanna hear it?"
Tallulah nodded again, perking up at the promise of getting to hear him play guitar again.
Wilbur began to strum the familiar chords.
"I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was-"
No one knows just how happy I am Niki and Tubbo joined the QSMP and the characters they have already started to take on.
Phil being gone this week has really given them a chance to prove themselves and their role as Chayanne and Tallulahs godparents. Nikis been very busy lately but Tubbos been on almost every single day since he joined.
Tallulah and Chayanne are two of the most closed off eggs in terms of how often they just hang out on the server. Usually, they log on, do quests with Phil, chill for a bit, and then go back to sleep with occasional times of hanging out with other QSMP members.
Q!Tubbo, since he's been on the most, has allowed for the most Chayanne and Tallulah content outside of Phil doing their quests. Tubbos already given all the eggs blankets permission to just show up and hang out which Tallulah and Chayanne have taken up quite a bit.
I absolutely adore how q!Tubbo treats the eggs. He cares for them so much even though he can't completely protect them and isn't their direct parent. He is instantly trying to include them in his projects when they show up and always chatting with them which is really cool. It's an interesting dynamic to see since everyone's had an egg of their own since just about the start.
Q!Tubbo has similar mannerisms to both q!Wilbur and q!Phil since they are close friends and deemed family by q!Phil. He treats Tallulah and Chayanne very similarly to how q!Wilbur and q!Phil treat them which is something I think both of them needed from a non-parent individual. They both been dealing with the absence of a father this whole time so I'm sure new faces are refreshing to see. There's no expectations or previous understandings that the other islanders have about them.
Q!Tubbo has made sure to take care of them so well. He always pauses to make sure their tasks are done and that they are doing something they want to do or help with. Q!Tubbo also uses nicknames a lot which I love. He calls Chayanne, Chay. Tallulah, sweetie and both of them poultry queen/king/prince which is adorable.
I really want to know Tallulah and Chayannes thoughts on q!Tubbo since they've spoken about how they don't feel the most comfortable being openly themselves around the other QSMP islanders. Tallulah hasn't completely opened up to q!Tubbo and started sassing him like she does q!Phil but I'm sure it's refreshing to have someone new like q!Tubbo focus his attention on her and her brother when they around, making sure they read all the signs, and keep track of them all the time.
It's just such a refreshing dynamic to see for two characters that have been going through it so much lately.
I also just love q!Tubbo in general because he fits right in. He's constantly involving everyone if they want to join. He's also someone who is challenging the Federation constantly in a way not everyone else can because they have the eggs. He's abosultely on Cucuruchos shit list for his shenanigans and he's already started poking holes in the story that the Federation has laid out.
*dramatically clears throat*
One of death family's love languages is nicknames and terms of endearment.
Before I go to bed, here is a late night rant:
Q!Tubbo is such an interesting character. Tubbo, himself, has gotten the full QSMP experience in a way the rest of the new players haven't. We all joked about him having Brazilian energy, but he literally does lmao. He rolled up just like the Brazilians did all that time ago and just made himself completely at home in the story by complete accident.
I do think he got a special chance because Tubbo streams everyday and Phil went to Brighton to film Sorry videos the week after Tubbo joined. Tubbo got the chance to spend time taking care of the eggs and being their primary caretaker for a week in a way none of the other new players have gotten which has shaped his character a fair amount.
He is so invested in the eggs and they aren't even his kids you know. I haven't finished his VOD from today but I saw a clip of him spinning the wheel and the lava dropping on him. He tried to save Chayannes floatie immediately and the despair in his face at watching the lava fall on the items was intense as well. He had those eggs for less than a week and he got to know them in ways that only the rest of the islanders that have been there for MONTHS have.
It's just such an interesting dynamic to see. Q!Tubbo is also the youngest outside of the eggs which plays a lot into his character. He questions q!Fit because q!Fits involvement in other things that he can't share and q!Tubbo doesn't understand that. Q!Tubbo still has an innocence to his character that most of the islanders have lost over time which is really interesting to see.
In general, cc!Tubbo also just gets along really well with everyone so far. He's become a cemented part of the early gang with Fit, Pac, Foolish and the various others that join early in the day. His dynamic with q!Fit and q!Phil has been a lot of fun to watch because he pushes q!Fits character more than most of the islanders have and it's always interesting to see q!Phil with his closest friends/family.
Idk it's just refreshing to see. He's just accidently walked himself into this crazy experience that the QSMP is and immediately got invested. There's a strong level of relatablity there too that hasn't quite been around the same way since the beginning of the egg event.
You know what. I'm obsessed with this piece i drew up earlier today for my lockscreen so Tumblr gets an art post from me.
I've needed to change out some wallpapers for a while but some of the stuff today finally pushed me. I have this and then a q!phil/cubito!Phil one for my homescreen and eventually maybe a q!Phil and eggs piece for my laptop wallpaper
I don't know how or why this connection has been made in my head but Tallulah gives Strawberry Shortcake vibes.
Like the good Strawberry Shortcake versions not the most recent one.
I still haven’t watched a single QSMP stream yet I’m already emotionally attached to these damn eggs.
Just sketches and drawings that I made at school/at home :P (I don't watch QSMP, I don't understand any plot, but the only thing I know is that Tallulah is Wilbur's daughter :>) yep. Today is gonna be more sketches, yappyyy :_D
I'M AT WORK WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
Why has Phil murdered both his canonical son and granddaughter in two separate SMPs? Man just can't catch a break, huh
I'M AT WORK WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
How much my arts changed/improved.
The first image is the first time I drew Tallulah back in April, then nine months later, I drew the second image today.
I know tallulah’s hands are wrong, however for the eggs I try to make it look more dragon-y so that’s apart of an idea I had came up with.
Any advice on what to improve would be greatly appreciated!
(After end of Philza's stream 9/15/2023)
Just don't think about how Missa said he might get back on tonight (or whenever he gets back on in general). about how he not only now doesn't have his son or adopted daughter but now his platonic husband (that he feels more than platonic towards) is now gone. That he is now without his protector. All we can hope is that the Goddess of Death looks over him with mercy in these coming days. (idk how long this'll be)
