TNT Duo

TNT Duo is the friendship between Quackity and Wilbur Soot from the Dream SMP fandom.

Canon
Wilbur and Quackity have a few similarities. Both are able to play guitar. Both are also known for wearing beanies, though Quackity is more well known for it since he wears a beanie more often. They have been on the same Minecraft Championship team a couple times. Wilbur and Quackity also sometimes collaborate with each other and other content creators. The two were both members of the Dream SMP and later the Quackity SMP.

Quackity has also shown that he is a fan of Lovejoy, the band Wilbur is the lead singer of. On December 11, 2022, Quackity sang "Perfume" with the band. Even though he knew the lyrics, Quackity momentarily forgot them and had to look them up to sing. When Lovejoy's EP Wake Up & It's Over came out, Quackity tweeted at Wilbur before listening to it. Afterwards, Quackity tweeted about how good the album was. Wilbur asked Quackity about his thoughts on the EP, but Quackity did not reply until nearly a week later. He replied by saying again that the EP was good, but this time he attached a photo of him and Wilbur meeting up in real life. This gained an "ok cool :)" from Wilbur. When Quackity was asked about his favorite song on the EP, he answered with lyrics from the song "Consequences." Quackity even went as far as saying that he would name his first child "Consequences."

Dream SMP
The two were opposing parties during the POG2020 vs SWAG2020 election of L'manberg. Wilbur was running for president on the POG2020 side of the election. Quackity ran also ran for president on the SWAG2020 side just for the sake of making sure Wilbur had some competition. Even though they were on opposite sides of the election, they were still friends and had a positive relationship.

In the Pogtopia days, Wilbur and Quackity were seen at Niki's Birthday Party, where the two continued to flirt throughout the night despite Quackity dating Karl at the time, Wilbur even going as far as kissing and biting Quackity's neck, singing him a love song ("I'm in Love with a Big Q", parody of "I'm in Love with an E-Girl"), and so on.

Wilbur died after blowing up L'manberg for the first time with TNT. Quackity also used TNT to blow up Purpled's UFO. This is what makes the two known as the TNT Duo. After seeing Purpled's blown-up UFO, Wilbur commented that someone must have copied him.

After Wilbur's resurrection, Quackity wrote a book inviting Wilbur to Quackity's nation, Las Nevadas. Wilbur saw the book after being revived by Dream. Wilbur brought TommyInnit with him and they both explored Las Nevadas with Quackity as their guide. Wilbur agreed to working alongside Quackity, though Quackity revealed that he actually wanted to work with TommyInnit. Wilbur was bitter about this and started arguing with Quackity. He declared that he would start a new, better nation right next to Las Nevadas. Both Quackity and Wilbur wanted Tommy to work with them, which caused their rivalry to grow. While Wilbur and Quackity argued, Tommy pointed out the tension between them and viewed their interactions as flirting.

Quackity SMP
On June 4, 2023, Quackity titled his stream "preparing my wedding with wilbur!!!" although he did not propose or prepare a wedding with Wilbur. When Quackity noticed Wilbur was watching the stream, he said that the title was a mistake, which prompted Wilbur's reply, "whatever man... i dont care. not like i was excited or anything.. /. .."

Fanon
The shipping between the two most likely started when TommyInnit pointed out in a Dream SMP live stream how their interactions could be seen as romantic. Most people only ship Quackity and Wilbur's Dream SMP characters since Quackity has said he is uncomfortable with being shipped with his friends in real life. A lot of people only ship Quackity's characters with "Alivebur", "Revivedbur" or "Vilbur" instead of with Wilbur's ghost counterpart, Ghostbur. The ship is rivaled by the very popular Fiancé Trio ship and their respective ships with GeorgeNotFound, QuackityNotFound and Georgebur. After the Dream SMP ended, TNT Duo lost popularity but returned after they interacted on the Quackity SMP. Many people speculated the two were past lovers and hoped the two would get married. Despite all of the romantic shipping, there are many that prefer the ship as a friendship instead of a slash ship.

Originally, the duo name between Wilbur and Quackity was "Beanie Duo" due to how the two both wore beanies. However, some people noticed that both of their Dream SMP characters blew things up with TNT, so the duo started to be called "TNT Duo" instead. TNT Duo is still currently the most often used name for Wilbur and Quackity.
