On a better note than what we got in that lovely RWBY episode that ripped my heart into pieces and shredded them, I got my sister caught up all the way through volume 8 of RWBY. Now she can suffer like the rest of us. Yay
Some DSMP Lore Thoughts/Theories I had for the month of June about C!Schlatt/Glatt but it progressively gets more confusing
Those things I posted on my alt twitter as they randomly popped into my head so I thought I would compile them here.
It progressively gets more confusing as I find way too many plotholes that are unexplained or I just don't understand so buckle up
I was thinking about the deal C!Quackity made with Glatt since it's still unclear if he won or lost. Does he really no longer care about the book? Or if he's bluffing in front of Dream... Does he personally care about the book or does he have obligation to care bc of the deal with Glatt.
The whole concept of ghosts being different entities/versions from different timelines/worlds is also great. The Ghost/Wil-bur differences are obvious. Maybe that's what would c!Wilbur become if circumstances were different, but differences between Glatt & c!Schlatt are definitely more subtle and mostly are about memories. Like for example Glatt does not seem to know who Wilbur & Tommy are, tbh he didn't seem to recall a memory about anyone except for Quackity and doesn't talk about the revival book like it was once his possession (he wasn't even 100% sure it's real and how it works)
I can sense some tiny differences in character (like even lower attention spawn) and the voice of Schlatt saying that he didn't even want to be revived while Glatt wants to be back - but those things are of questionable canonicity and not sure if they were concious choices.
So it all just gives me the impression that Ghostbur/Glatt were ripped from another world and switched with the "originals"
Considering that c!Schlatt's canon death count was never seriously addressed is kinda messing with me, but there was a lot of talks that he still had at least one canon life after the stroke. Which then leads me to two people who were on Manburg side before his death
First: C!Dream What was exactly the deal C!Dream made with C!Schlatt for the book? Because I feel like there was something more, C!Schlatt despite all was quite clever so he wouldn't just give up such a powerful tool? What if his death was staged then? What if C!Dream acted as if he just betrayed C!Schlatt? Maybe C!Schlatt realized that it was going to be his end so he got himself an escape route he could take to survive and C!Dream agreed to help him. But how exactly... "[user] fell out of the word" is not a natural death in minecraft. And yeah looking at it from outside the lore they probably just needed a way to show a heart attack so they used console death, but let's overthink it like I like to do because its fun. "fell out of this world"... Is such an interesting phrase to play with for the lore imo, especially if they ever plan to address this plothole with C!Schlatt's canon lifes. Fell from the world into where?
Have you noticed that it was Glatt that spent time in limbo With Wilbur/Tommy/MD - not Schlatt. So are they the same entity unlike Ghostbur/Wilbur? And if not - Where is Schlatt? And he's also able to leave it... somehow to send letter to C!Quackity..? Is every limbo somehow accessible or is it another case of C!Quackity not really being human or having special access because of his questionably-canonical devouring of Schlatt's heart?
It's not like C!Schlatt is in limbo while Glatt is on the server (like in C!Wilbur's case). Did both Schlatt and Glatt were able meet with Wilbur and Tommy in the limbo, Schlatt is the limbo and Glatt is in the gym? Is gym not a limbo then!? Another important question for the sake of continuity... Was there a possibility of Ghost!Tommy existing as a separate entity? Or is Ghostbur just a one-time case for some reason and Glatt is just C!Schlatt with memory problems??? I have any questions I think that won't ever be addressed but I can't help but overthink and overanalyse every detail. But if ghosts versions are just them from different timelines/world... Just makes me think about C!Karl. Since he went to inbetween and the other side. He had seen other Karls drained out of colors... Like ghosts (at least from his POV). Karl was technically on the side of Manburg right as the war began so is there a possibility he helped Schlatt stage all this shit???
Anyways I'm just rambling at this point and it's just get progressively more confusing but yo, needed to get it out of my head, if anyone got to this part wow but lemme know what u think
Currently thinking about how Beltboy had to grow up with parents that just straight up did not give a shit about and I feel like some people dont realise that neglect like that is just as much abuse as verbal/physical abuse is. Not to mention that he's weak to the loving element probably BECAUSE of that and that makes me go. Anyway Beltboy if you're out here
Writing two emotionally taxing fics at the same time is so difficult at times. You want to write, but you find yourself not having the mental capacity to do so because work drained all that out of you.
If you've been following me for a bit now, you know I don't like to write multiple fics at once because I always feel like I'm not giving the writing the effort and time they deserve. But, well, yours truly is an impatient person. So here we are.
