Q!Tubbo headcanon rant thing cos my brain cant stop thinking abt it
so its CANON that Foolish and BBH are the same characters in every SMP they've been in together, they're just immortal characters that have been stuck together forever
at SOME POINT Tubbo was added to this list of characters that have always been the same character in almost if not all every SMP/mc event he's participated in in my mind but I don't remember WHAT EXACTLY MADE ME THINK THAT
I think it was something he said during RealmSMP but I cant remember what and it pmo so bad but anyways, that's just context for the rest of this
I started thinking more and the hc that Tubbo during DSMP had scars on half his face from getting blown up by the fireworks was also CANONIZED, as in said explicitly,
but I didn't think the scars would transfer over for the servers he was on after DSMP cus it just didn't seem right to me (mainly because I originally didn't have this headcanon— I did NOT want him to be a continuous character through every SMP)
I was thinking about it more and so there's the whole "Creation" lore with Tubbo that started during the original QSMP and I was thinking that THAT could be the reason why
its been a headcanon for a good few people that he's a robot and it honestly is for me too, but MY HC FOR IT IS ANNOYING ASF cuz its not in an obvious way
I cant really draw him any robot features at all because of how I imagine this, which is no fun,
he just IS a robot but he seems completely human and even he is sort of "unaware" that he's a robot? or at least its not something he chooses to acknowledge most of the time unless he can use it to his advantage (aka being aware that he doesn't need to care about dying because he CAN'T die (or not really at least))
The thing is he's a robot based on a real person— there WAS a real Tubbo at some point in time but the one we're watching currently isn't the real one,
I think since DSMP was the first big smp he was on, c!Tubbo is probably the original, and every smp or event he's been in/on after that has been a copy of him using data put in by the original,
so he has all of his memories and everything but he's not alive, he never was, he was just BASED on DSMP Tubbo
but then why would DSMP Tubbo even build a copy of himself ?
its confusing but I think it would also tie in with the time travel plot of QSMP 1,
I think the mix of time traveling + building copies of himself leads into this infinite Tubbo hc that I have, this is important context to answer that question, stay with me now 😭😭
those two things mixed together caused him to make many copies of himself without really realizing and they're all (for the most part) in different times so they don't even know each other exist
in theory there would be other events that happen to other Tubbos that time traveled and stuff (events which we will never see but we know one is off somewhere with the real Sunny) but the one we've been following in streams is the main one, one who's NEVER time traveled
everytime Tubbo makes a copy of himself, he deletes his memory of making it from his memory "data" (dunno why exactly, could be many reasons and I haven't decided on one I like more than the others, but my point is, that's canon from QSMP 1 Creation lore— so yeah)
so why'd DSMP Tubbo build a copy of himself
I think the original reason "Creation" was made, was to be the original "back up body" for himself (not to say that the Creation we saw in QSMP 1 is THE original, just that theres most likely multiple of Creation)
c!Tubbo was really into engineering in canon despite DSMP having no actual mods (he literally made nukes), so its not that crazy that he would just build another one of himself "as a back up",
whether his consciousness is supposed to transfer between body to body or they are all just copies with only his memory "data", idk
he doesn't have the scars anymore from DSMP cause he has a new body every time he dies
so his current body is one of his back ups
that's why he's always so careless abt getting killed, cos he knows he wont actually die for good
and then that's why he also has been different things throughout the different smps, cuz its just not the same body (dsmp he was goat hybrid, qsmp he's dragon, realm smp he was like an elf type thing)
and then he lost his arm during purgatory (because of the many chainsaws), and he couldn't repair it properly so he had to leave the robot parts exposed
then he had to leave it like that afterward even if he did get a new body cos then ppl would be like ????? did u grow ur arm back wth ??
my Q!Tubbo design below for context of the headcanon of his losing his arm 😼
I was yapping about this to my gf (who knows little to no QSMP lore) and she asked if the current Tubbo would remember Sunny to which I said:
"I think so yeah, but Tubbo as a character is a certain type of way and I think he chooses not to
I think the way he tends to be detached from a lot of emotional stuff also says a lot about his character as a robot,
before the Creation lore happened he had only been in his one body since the start of QSMP and he had been able to be an emotional character
but then that body broke and died and then the Creation lore happened
and when Tubbo came back he was more emotionally detached but also erratic ? he wasn't the same with the new body
every time he's in a new smp its safe to assume there was at least one body change again between those two smps, so by now he's probably separated himself from everything from QSMP 1 even though he remembers it
he probably just wouldn't care that much, if he ever talks about anything from QSMP 1, he talks about it very casually
he's not mentioned Sunny yet though so who knows"
That was just my take on that for now though since we don't know and I'm desperate for a Sunny mention so I'm just daydreaming about it...
