#mcytmoon character analysis

// Mentions of Exile , Execution , Red Festival , and Doomsday. 

Please keep in mind that this is a very subjective view on C!Technoblade and you are entitled to a different view than me.

My character analysis will only focus one one aspect of their being at a time just to keep it somewhat not jumbled and not too long. This is not the only analysis I will ever do of this character.

C!Technoblade, to me, is one of the most intriguing characters on the Dream SMP. He is portrayed as a God-like character, and yet is one of the most human. He cares for people so much he’d be willing to get tortured for them, he has strong beliefs that tend not to shift from the original belief system, and he makes mistakes. 

C!Technoblade, despite what we C!Tubbo apologists like to admit, did apologise to Tubbo for the execution, and Tubbo did forgive him. Tubbo didn't even blame him. Sure, the concept of Technoblade being 'peer-pressured may feel far fetched. Nevertheless, we have seen recently that the man does have a fear of dying. Having that many people surrounding you, not knowing if they would hurt you or not, would be incredibly stress-inducing. Techno stated before that he didn't think firework launchers did that much damage. That's the reason he hit Tubbo beforehand. You can hear the shock in his voice when he notices that both Schlatt and Quackity have perished too; he then turns to the audience and fires. He realised after that, that there was a much lower probability that the people of Manberg would be able to overpower them. There may have been a way around this - not one I can think of, off the top of my head - but in a situation similar to the one that he was in, you wouldn't have much time to think rationally.

Even after the first fall of L'Manberg, he still aids Tommy. Despite the fact that they are both too stubborn to apologise to one another, nor would they recognise their potential wrong-doings, Techno still decides to help Tommy after Exile. He could have very easily turned away Tommy and sent him elsewhere, but he didn't. He showed compassion and the ability to forgive people. Both of these, again, being humanistic traits. Technoblade is human. Whether a hybrid or not, he is not 'The Blade' but Techno. A man who tries to help people. Even if it isn't in the most conventional and helpful way he could help them. Then again, he is human and none of us are perfect, especially when faced with certain circumstances.

Now, I've made my opinion on Doomsday clear in older posts of mine. Still, it is an example of how Techno does not act unless prompted to do so. He was willing to leave New L'manberg alone until the day he was executed. Similarly, it shows that he adheres to his ideals. We as human beings don't change our views overnight. Especially those beliefs and ideals which are heavily ingrained into our being. Technoblade has shown with the Syndicate, that he is slowly becoming more willing to change the way he views Anarchy and conflict. He has recruited people with different ways of dealing with conflict, which in response, will teach him other ways of reacting to it. 

Pretty much, this was a long way of explaining how I love the complexity of C!Technoblade and how it isn't explicit. You have to look at all the details to understand how complex his character is. However, please do keep in mind that I am human and so are you. We may view the character differently from how I do.

C!Tubbo Character Analysis

// Mentions of Exile and Techoblade’s execution

Please keep in mind that this is a very subjective view on C!Tubbo and you are entitled to a different view than me.

My character analysis will only focus one one aspect of their being at a time just to keep it somewhat not jumbled and not too long. This is not the only analysis I will ever do of this character.

Tubbo is my favourite character on the DreamSMP. He is powerful, yet underestimated. Intelligent but rarely puts that to use. Used and yet never holds grudges.

One of the things that I find so intriguing about Tubbo, is that his main motivator seems to be peace and safety. While other people on the SMP tend to have a driving force of Power or ‘Justice’. 

The majority of what Tubbo has done was for peace. He fought in the L’Manberg war after seeing what Sapnap and other’s had done. He fought to be able to live his life in peace without fear of what other people could put him and his friends through. He saw Sapnap’s brutality and changed sides to be alongside Tommy and Wilbur. Tubbo especially seemed to like Wilbur’s views towards using Words instead of weapons. Now, I will acknowledge that he was one of the main suppliers of weapons. However, Dream’s side in the war were heavily armoured and Tubbo probably acknowledged that they were not going to listen to the words. Meaning that violence was inevitable. 

He exiled Tommy hoping that it would prevent another war and keep the peace and safety of all those within L’Manberg. Tubbo was also very happy to leave Technoblade alone until Fundy and Quackity got into his head about how he was a threat to the nation that they needed to be rid of. 

Tubbo even said in his speech that he wanted Unity. He wanted a place where people, no matter who, could come together to spend time with one another. No more threats of war. So, when he got a threat of war he went for the option that maintained the peace. But even then, he still tried to reach an agreement which would maintain peace for everyone (suspension of Tommy from his position). Every time there has been a conflict, he has tried to push for a more peaceful approach, and yet has been swayed by other people telling him that it ‘won’t work’. Which very well may be true. But does that mean that they shouldn’t even try?

In a world full of violence, peace on it’s own is unattainable. That’s why Tubbo feels the need to have the threat of violence behind him. For example, the weapons in the first L’Manberg War and the Nukes. Without the threat of violence, Tubbo feels as though he cannot achieve peace. Because there is always someone who will view a want for peace as a threat itself. This is especially the case with nations popping up everywhere. If there is peace in one nation, people are more likely to move there. So people threaten the peace to keep people in their nation and attached to them.

While Snowchester was peaceful, it did not have anything to keep people there. The only promise of safety were nukes. Which are a great deterrent, but nor great when fighting a close combat fight. People don’t feel safe, even with a peaceful environment, as the threat of greater powers could override them. Tubbo built the ‘Cookie’ outpost as a way of watching over Quackity. Not to collect information for war. But to collect information important to the peace and well being of his country. He heard of a new, powerful, nation and believed that he needed to watch the threat. Especially after people left Snowchester to be a part of it. Not really stating a solid reason as to why they were leaving. Tubbo felt as though his peace could be disrupted. 

This doesn’t mean that every single thing he does is to strive towards peace. It is just his main source of drive. I found this interesting in comparison to the majority of people whose main drive is either Power or Justice. It also does not mean that he is easily swayed to go against this drive either. This is a completely subjective view on a character I really enjoy and you are entitled to your own view on a character and their motivators.
