Right after the zam empire arc, zam made his cabin in the twilight forest. Even after he disappeared, pangi kept protecting the cabin. But pangi isnt there anymore.
Wemmbu cares for egg. Egg got taken hostage again. Wemmbu is protecting his care for egg.
Parallels.
Will wemmbu stop trying to protect egg?
They brought back the forest and cabin for a reason.
If gambit is wemmbu’s sanity, and egg is his morality, is crucible his motivation? Thats why he gave it to egg, so he would be motivated and able to protect himself (egg had tried to get a mace multiple times during the farlands arc at the castle). And crucible was taken by invis guy, which could be why wemmbu has less motivation and didnt wanna fight flame, even saying that fighting flame was getting boring although during the law arc wemmbu literally said “im down to fight you later.”
Inspo from @RougeResearching on youtube, I highly recommend watching their wemmbu theory/analysis.
This is lowk js an expansion of their theory.
Egg is Wemmbu’s only anchor.
Wemmbu has never strayed too far into either side of hero or villain. Because Egg is always there to drag him back to the center.
Whenever Wemmbu is being particularly villainous, Egg is the angel on his shoulder. An example is during the mafia arc, Egg stopped Wemmbu from killing Ferre.
Whenever Wemmbu is being more of a hero, Egg is the devil on his shoulder. During the law arc, when Egg and Wemmbu were searching for the rare item collector, Egg was the one to be more violent towards the player they were interrogating.
No matter what Wemmbu does, Egg is the one dragging him back to the center.
Until he isn’t.
Right after Wemmbu got his orbitals, Egg wasn’t there to hold back his violent tendencies. Resulting in Wemmbu wreaking havoc on the entire server. After that, he went into hiding. Maybe to hold himself back since Egg couldn’t.
Recently, we’ve been seeing Wemmbu be a lot more violent lately. Because Egg isn’t there and he needs him back. Arachnid said it himself, Wemmbu wants people to be banned. Wemmbu even said that he’s always liked banning players in flame’s newest video.
Egg is the only thing holding Wemmbu together. Without him, Wemmbu’s true nature shines through. He didn’t even hesitate to ban hundreds of players, showing little to no remorse. He even had to hold himself back from his intrusive thoughts earlier in the video. And the reason he left the fight was because he got bored.
At the end of the video, Arachnid dropped Wemmbu back into the cave in front of the castle. And it was stated that he had rigged the entire cave with tnt. And what seems to be players could be seen in front of the castle, where Wemmbu was falling.
Here is a side-by-side of the front of the castle and the last frame of Wemmbu’s video.

Chapter 1: The Origins
CHAPTER WARNINGS:
-threats
-dissociation (kinda?)
- - - - - - - - - -
There are three types of origins, not every origin may contain each type.
Inherited—the origin was passed down at birth.
Materialized—developed from the element and individuals are made up of the raw material.
Gifted—individuals went through or died in very specific conditions, being brought back to life by the element if they died.
There are many categories of origins.
Human—the most common and basic Overworld origin.
Animal—this Overworld origin is known for having the most sub-origins, some may have features like wings or enhanced capabilities.
Walker—an Overworld origin that is known for its ability to cheat death, sensitive to sunlight, and typically has a lower body temperature.
Demon—a Nether origin recognized widely for its horns and spaded tail, most have a higher heat tolerance while some have wings. There are few sub-origins.
Blaze—this Nether origin has a fluctuating high core temperature that responds to their emotions, some even having the ability to manipulate fire.
Hoglin—pig-like brutes mainly found in the Nether.
Magma—a Nether origin with a very high body temperature, very susceptible to cold temperatures.
Enderman—an End origin capable of teleportation, they are typically very tall with purple eyes, water stings their skin. Cooler body temperature.
Enderdragon—this End origin is among the rarest origins, known for its scales, wings, greatly increased strength, and prominent purple throughout individuals. Some may be able to manipulate dragon breath and spit fireballs. Cooler body temperature.
Voidling—this is a very unique origin due to the fact it may originate in any of the dimensions, it is mainly found in the End. Individuals' state of matter may vary from obsidian to viscous fog. Irregular and constantly changing body temperature.
Shapeshifter—this unique origin has no known birthplace, they are able to entirely choose their appearance and form.
"Whatcha doin there?" Eggchan heard a voice from behind him, interrupting his thoughts. Wemmbu was hovering over Egg's shoulder, looking down at what he was writing. "Why is that last part scratched out?" Wemmbu asked, confused. Egg never gets rid of anything he writes.
"Don't worry about it bro," Egg muttered. Egg has never really told Wemmbu much about his past or origin, he hates thinking about the fact he wasn't good enough.
Wemmbu noticed the subtle shift in his eyes-of course he did-but chose not to comment on it. He chuckled lightly, "Okay bro."
"You're a enderdragon-demon hybrid right?" Egg knows Wemmbu doesn't like to talk about origins either due to how people treat him, but he wants to make sure he has the facts straight. "How does your voice mimic thing work?"
Wemmbu grins, "You mean this voice thing?"
"Bro you can't just randomly mimic my voice," Egg deadpanned, "that's not how that works."
"Hmm.. Nope! I'm pretty sure it is, because I can and I did," Wemmbu retorted.
"Stop using my voice!" Egg finally laughed. "You wanna answer my question or nah bro?"
Wemmbu, although hesitant due to his complicated past, answered. "My demon suborigin is really rare, I'm a mimic. It just comes naturally. I can mimic any voice as long as I've heard it before."
Egg nodded along thoughtfully while jotting down notes.
"What about you?" Wemmbu inquired, "I don't think you've ever really told me about your origin."
Before Egg could respond, Yungy cut their conversation short. Wemmbu hadn't been focused on the fact that they were still standing in the prison room, forgetting that dozens of guards were listening in on their conversation.
"Wemmbu, Arachnid wants to talk with you," Yungy interrupted.
- - - - - - - - - -
Yungy led Wemmbu to the throne room, where Arachnid sat waiting on his throne. "Look who it is, I wanted to congratulate you on the victory at Highwater."
"Yeah, so, I seem to recall you saying I would get Egg back if I completed the mission." Wemmbu demanded.
Arachnid laughed mockingly, "Well, about that-"
"No!" Wemmbu cut in, "We are not doing this! You said that I would get Egg back if I won that battle for you!" Wemmbu nearly sounded desperate. Almost.
"That is true, except for the fact that you held out on Parrot," Arachnid retorted.
Wemmbu froze. Right. People saw that. "I don't know what you're-"
"I have received reports saying that you had a clear fatal shot on Parrot, but you didn't take it," Arachnid sharply countered. "Instead, you knocked him off a mountain-away from people-and started targeting others. Care to tell me why that is?"
A primal sense of terror ran through wemmbu. He needed Egg back, now. He wrapped his tail around his own leg to keep it from moving around too much. He kept his face blank. "Theo knocked me away before I could hit Parrot, Theo knocked Parrot down the mountain when I tried to hit him, and other people started attacking me so I defended myself. When I looked back, Parrot was gone." The lie was shaky, but it would have to do.
Arachid nodded thoughtfully, "I see. However, due to this missed opportunity, I will be keeping Egg a bit longer." His voice was monotone and revealed nothing.
Wemmbu clenched his fists, "That's not fair! You said-"
"Eggchan is currently safe," Arachnid's tone was cold as ice, sharp as a shard of glass, "it would be a shame for that to stop being the case."
The spider origin had Wemmbu trapped like a fly in a web, and if he dared to even breathe wrong Arachnid would take the thing he cares for most. Wemmbu was sick and tired of being seen as an object to be used and discarded. Them, Zam, Mane, Lopezz, Fanst, Baablu, Parrot, Lettuce, Flame, and now Arachnid, they all used and discarded him. He just wanted to be a normal player. Instead he is seen as nothing but a weapon. "Yeah," he muttered.
"I'm glad we understand each other." Arachnid sounded way too pleased with himself for Wemmbu's liking. "Speaking of, I have another mission for you. You will help Cindercrest storm Capitol City. This time, I expect you to know better than holding back. Or you know what happens."
"Right." That last line shredded any lingering hopes Wemmbu had of Arachnid playing fair. Although, he was never really playing fair in the first place.
Wemmbu can't shake the thought that this is Flame's fault. If he had just never kidnaped Egg, none of this would be happening. The invisible guy would have never gotten Egg, Arachnid would have never been able to buy Egg from the invisible guy, and he would have never been forced to fight in a war he had no say in. Every time Wemmbu sees Flame after he was captured he fights an overwhelmingly intense deep seated urge to fight him with everything he has. But no, not yet. He needs to prioritize Egg's safety first.
- - - - - - - - - -
After Wemmbu left the room, Yungy spoke up. "King Arachnid," Yungy inquired, "why would you promise Wemmbu he would get Eggchan back that easily?" Yungy knew Arachnid didn't plan on giving up his power anytime soon, they took so many security measures for a reason.
Arachnid waited a beat before responding, "Because it keeps him hopeful. Keeps him guessing. It gives him an incentive to try his best. We both know he won't let anything bad happen to Eggchan."
- - - - - - - - - -
"Alright! Is everyone ready?" Yungy was about to give the command to commence the fight for the capitol. Wemmbu was moving like a machine, fully on autopilot. He was having extreme difficulty suppressing his rage towards Arachnid and Flame. Oh how he dreaded the idea of seeing Flame again. But here they are, sitting on a hill behind the capitol, waiting to strike.
Yungy braced himself, "In three, two, one, CHARGE!" Everyone rushed forward all at once, racing past Wemmbu as he walked forward calmly. His thoughts were racing faster than his mind could catch up. He hated being used as a weapon.
Wemmbu stretched his wings, lifting into the air and flying towards the central tower. Getting closer to the highest point, he saw a familiar face. FlameFrags. Flame seemed to notice him at the same time. Wemmbu immediately felt a searing flash of dread and anger flare inside of him, pushing it down with all his willpower. When Wemmbu landed on the tower he barely even acknowledged the other's existence, the only sign of acknowledgement being the fact he spit dragon's breath at him. Wemmbu nuked the entire city from the vantage point with his orbital strikes in a matter of seconds.
Flame didn't say anything, he just watched Wemmbu for a few seconds before climbing down the tower. Flame realized too late what it must have felt like for him, considering that Eggchan has a similar dynamic with Wemmbu as Lomedy does with Flame. Flame leveled an entire civilization because he thought Lomedy died, he joined Cindercrest for Lomedy. How could he have called Wemmbu dramatic when he has done similar things? As much as he hopes Wemmbu will forgive him, the dragon's breath he spat proved that they were back on square one—more like square negative three honestly.
Wemmbu jumped from atop the tower to admire the explosions while gliding through the air, spitting an aroma of dragon's breath over crowds as he flew over. As he landed he began smashing people using his mace, though he purposely avoided directly attacking Parrot unless necessary. Wemmbu may have 'accidentally' maced Flame a few times.
- - - - - - - - - -
The fight was a success. After some trial and error due to Parrot's machines, Cindercrest and Arachnid's army won the battle.
While everyone was regrouping after Parrot retreated, Wemmbu couldn't help but glare daggers at the reason he's in this situation. Flame definitely noticed. Despite Wemmbu's headpiece, Flame could feel the glare from a mile away. He tried to ignore it at first, but Wemmbu wasn't trying to be discreet. Flame eventually had enough of it.
Flame walked up to Wemmbu in a few easy strides. "What is your problem bro?" Flame spat accusingly.
"Oh, I wonder," Wemmbu retorted, spitting some fire in the process.
Flame scoffed, "It's not MY fault that YOU let Eggchan be kidnapped!" Flame's body started heating up and emitting sparks, reflecting his frustration.
A maniacal grin spread across Wemmbu's face, the cracks in his horns shining a bright purple. "Okay, so if I went and killed Lomedy right now, it would be YOUR fault for not protecting him, right?" Wemmbu's tone was stone cold, sharp and threatening. He made sure to leave a dragon's breath aroma around himself while speaking. His tail flicked around wildly.
Flame stumbled over his words. He had to admit, that was a good point. Although he understood to an extent, his pride wouldn't let him back down. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. Fortunately, before he could come up with another snarky come-back, Yungy and Saps intervened.
"Woah, woah, woah! What's going on here?" Yungy stepped between them, giving Wemmbu a sharp glare.
Saps attempted-and failed-to lighten the mood, "Lets not fight guys, celebrate! We just took down the capitol after all!"
Wemmbu rolled his eyes, turned around and walked away. His tail swishing violently behind him.
- - - - - - - - - -
Wemmbu just wanted to see Egg. He's so tired of everything. Flame really knows how to get under his skin. He wants everything to go back to the way it was right after the Law was defeated. As he's walking towards Eggchan's cell, Yungy stops him.
"What were you thinking?!" Yungy ridiculed.
Wemmbu deadpanned, "About the reason I'm even here in the first place."
Yungy tried to calm himself down, yet to no avail. "Saps told Arachnid he was concerned about your attitude towards Flame." Yungy's voice sounded strained, "Arachnid is livid. He demanded to see you."
Wemmbu's entire body became rigid. He knew he was already chained, and he really didn't want the restraints to be tightened again.
Wemmbu didn't say anything, just walked past Yungy like he was a ghost. In a way, he felt as if he was becoming one himself. Yungy followed as Wemmbu made his way to the throne room. The moment Wemmbu stepped through the doors, he felt the atmosphere change.
"Well, if it isn't my favorite warrior!" Arachnid looked and sounded manic, Wemmbu's heart immediately dropped.
"I heard about your little fiasco with FlameFrags at Capitol City." Arachnid's tone was threateningly cheerful. "I also seem to recall a little conversation we had about acting out of turn."
"I-" Wemmbu tried—being immediately cut off.
The spider was closing in on its prey, about to strike. "I do wonder how much seraphim feathers are sold for around here, I bet the number is quite high.
Wemmbu's heart stopped. He remembered Egg mentioning something like that before while briefly talking about his past. "No- You can hurt me, just leave him out of this. I'll do the missions perfectly, leave him alone." His voice was shaky, but firm.
"Thats what I like to hear! Any more little flukes, and I'll forbid you from seeing him altogether. Are we clear?" Arachnid knew exactly what kind of power he held, and he intended to exploit it to its fullest potential.
Wemmbu was terrified of Arachnid hurting Egg, he would not let that happen even if it meant it killed him. "Yes.." Wemmbu muttered.
Yungy was silently watching the exchange, horrified. He had never expected Arachnid to make a threat that extreme. And that favorite warrior comment.. Arachnid was rapidly growing more and more distant and unstable. Yungy watched as Wemmbu left the room.
"Yungy," Arachnid commanded, "keep him in check."
Yungy bowed, "Yes king Arachnid."
- - - - - - - - - -
Wemmbu practically ran to Egg's room. He had to make sure he was okay. His panic instantly melted into relief when he saw Egg.
"Egg!" Wemmbu ran up to him, checking for injuries. "Are you okay?"
Egg was insanely confused, "Yeah, why wouldn't I be? I've been taken hostage so many times and I still haven't died after all."
That earned a laugh out of Wemmbu, slowly dissolving the rest of his unease into comfort as he spoke with his best friend.

i think wemmbu is scared of his own power. ever since he first beat flame in that duel and “proved himself” he stopped caring for pvp as much, even faking his death just to be seen as a normal player. after the law arc wemmbu started living what was supposed to be peacefully until invis guy showed up and kidnapped egg. near the end of wemmbu’s fight with the entire server he said that fighting flame was boring and the fight in general was lame. wemmbu was able to beat the entire server by himself, the army he fought against including the strongest and the best of the best, flame, billy, theo, (+more). after the fight he flew up to the top of the capitol city tower and just looked down at the destruction he had caused. i think he realized what he had just accomplished in that moment. he didn’t stop caring about pvp because hes bad at it, he stopped caring because hes scared of the fact he could destroy the entire server if he really wanted to.
does anyone else ever think about the sundial parallels between lifesteal seasons
Season 3 was when zam started as “evil”, then tried to end the server in peace and “save” the server. In season 5 minute was seen as evil for being in the pmc at the start, but later on tried for a peaceful end to the season.
In season 4 zam tried to be evil at the start by joining team awesome, but betrayed them because he couldn’t agree with what they were doing, he betrayed the eclipse federation for the same reason. Season 6 minute was tried to be evil by making the empire, but betrayed spoke in the end because he couldn’t agree with his plan.
In season 5 zam was considered evil the entire season, killing everyone and causing as much chaos as possible, along with blowing things up. In season 7 (so far) minute and his team have been considered evil, and they built an orbital strike cannon and blew up all of spawn in the first week.
Just some parallels i noticed :)
Lmk if anything is inaccurate or incomplete, idk much abt minute’s experience outside of what ive seen on zam’s streams.
