Joel didn’t drive to Scott’s house

He walkers across the street

They were neighbors

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

““TommyInnit once gave himself water poisoning”” guys I found the inspiration for exile arc

[sparxwrites]

“You left me,” says Scar, when he finds Grian on top of one of his wagons at several hours past midnight, a week after they– well. A week after. None of them have talked about it enough to give it a name, but it hangs in the air between them. Puts a wall up, between them and the ones who didn’t get taken, the ones who don’t understand why their friends have gone quiet and distant and cold.

Some of them have coped better than others, of course. It takes more than a nightmare sequence to dampen Rendog boundless enthusiasm, and Cleo’s half-violent and mostly-unhinged at the best of times. Tango seems more embarrassed than emotionally scarred. But Mumbo’s stopped restocking his end crystal shop, and Etho’s been trailing Bdubs like a shadow, and both of them look at Grian like they want to hurt him, and Grian–

Grian’s been avoiding just about everyone, mostly. Grian’s been avoiding Scar, especially.

Which makes it all the more strange that he’s here, now. It’s dark. It’s cold. Most everyone else is asleep, and the ones who aren’t are only awake because they’re so focused on whatever they’re building that they lost track of the passage of time entirely. Yet here is Grian, on top of one of Scar’s wagons, legs hung off the edge of the roof and wings splayed out loose behind him, awake and not building and with a distant sort of look in his eye.

“You left me,” presses Scar, when he gets no reply, because it’s late, and he’s tired, and the hurt has been sitting like a stone in his gut for a week now. Festering. “You, and all the others, just– taking my things, and moving on. Even when you signed contracts.” He winces. That just sounds pathetic, even to him. “You all did it, but– You.”

And there’s the crux of it: but you.

i’msorry Inniters are my brothers of course but well the boiling down of cwilbur to Big Brother Character makes me shake and tremble and also it gets very frustrating seeing wilbur portrayed so often as just a tag along to tommy. Justice for c crimeboyers who like wilbur more IM NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT!!!!

[heartofaspen]

where are my AROMANTIC dsmp fans shout out to my AROMANTIC dsmp fans

[waitingawhile]

so obsessed with this image of ranboo always

[coconut12999]

i got pogtopian ctntduo on the brain and by god will i draw it

[general-light]

maybe its the aroace inside me, but how big was the tntduo romantic tension in wilburs stream? /gen. like, yes i also noticed some lines (and believe me, im in favour and a fan!), but you make it sound bigger than it seemed to me? can you explain some more, please, as the progenitor and expert of the "borderline romantic relationship"?

Can do! Here’s all of the moments that made me think “Wilbur, are you sure you don’t already have a crush on Quackity?”. This is all in the DSMP, of course - I wouldn’t post this if it wasn’t all canon.

• “I am your servant.” The first portions in which c!Wilbur throws himself at c!Quackity. Also, the kinsman bit.

• “You’re being petty. You’re being petty and I love it. I love it. I love it.” This teasing tone c!Wilbur easily takes with Q, and the way he says ‘I love it’.

• The close proximity that is canonically so close c!Tommy thought they were kissing. They weren’t, but it was close enough. Twice, actually!

• When being asked if they were kissing, both members laugh it off awkwardly, and c!Wilbur covers his mouth with his hand (with a Look on his face) before immediately changing topic. We all know how much cc!Wilbur likes to act in facecam...

• c!Wilbur excitedly referring to Quackity challenging him as cool, before admitting he almost referred to it as being ‘hot’ (so, he thought it was hot.)

• The ‘yet’ c!Wilbur included when he explained he didn’t think he had a crush on c!Quackity. Yet is a powerful word to include in a statement like that.

• c!Wilbur quietly asking if c!Quackity is still engaged in the wedding venue (and not having the courage to ask a second time).

• Their reminiscence in the needle scene. The sudden tone of fondness. c!Wilbur acquiescing to c!Quackity’s newfound request to ‘pick his brain’.

• After that scene, c!Wilbur keeps following up Quackity’s name with this deep longing sigh. He’s not smooth...

• And, while not a scene, supposedly everything down to the penis of safety was planned. So, most of this was probably planned. And therefore is fully intentional!

[mourningdoeve]

What I enjoy about c!Tommy and c!Wilbur’s relationship a lot is discussing how their characters tend to mirror each other, and it’s interesting how they depict parallels or contrasts depending upon how they're examined. At their core they seem similar, but there are certain aspects of their ideals, worldviews, and mindsets that set them apart from one another in a way which provides good material for analysis and gives them a well-rounded dynamic within the story that communicates a compelling and cohesive narrative, both individually and together.

With their ideals, c!Tommy and c!Wilbur’s shared values built the foundations of L’manburg and a legacy which prevails even now despite its destruction, and still affects their characters and others today. The spirit of resistance in the face of an unjust authority and the willingness to stand up for what they cared about no matter the circumstances lived on in its members, and no one was more true to this than c!Tommy and c!Wilbur. Though they kept this ideology with them, they both had different approaches and applications in how they expressed and upheld them, which fall in contrast to each other in this case.

c!Tommy has always been more direct with his feelings; through his words, through his actions, he wears his heart on his sleeve and is generally an easier character to read because of this. This nature of his tends to show in how he approaches conflicts and applies his ideals. During conflicts, his first instinct is to stay and to fight, for what or for who he cares about, regardless of the odds against him. This is shown before the events of November 16th when he and c!Tubbo discuss leaving the server behind and he says he needs to stay behind for L'manburg and for c!Wilbur, and even later on during the community house confrontation when he sides with c!Tubbo and New L'manburg for the sake of his friends and c!Wilbur's legacy. He'll stay true to this trait even despite it not being in his best interests, even if it risks his well-being and his life, or jeopardizes his personal objectives. Sometimes this is his downfall when combined with his impulsiveness and his aggression, as is the case when he incites conflicts rather than solving them. Overall though, one of c!Tommy's core characteristics is his heart, and I don't think he should be faulted for it.

c!Wilbur, by comparison, has the tendency to be more subtle in his own approach, and truly does value using his words over his actions since that is where his strengths lie. He prefers to weave narratives and debate his point to an opponent or strategize and think through his approach. Though he will occasionally engage physically, it isn't usually his first plan of action. This doesn't mean he lacks the heart c!Tommy does, in fact he matches him in that respect, though he makes more of an effort to conceal that part of himself to remain stoic and keep a level head. Unfortunately, he'll fall into a pattern of avoiding an issue or a conflict, whether that be by retreating into himself, doing so in a more physical sense by bodily removing himself from the situation, occupying/involving himself elsewhere, or by using misdirection in a conversation. He does genuinely want to change or to resolve the current issue, but he has trouble directly confronting situations and people for fear or failure or rejection. He hasn't yet had this trait addressed in its entirety, and as of now he seems to be in the midst of confronting that part of himself for his conclusion.

There will be exceptions to the rule, of course. c!Tommy and c!Wilbur both subvert their usual fight or flight defaults in some instances. For c!Tommy, he foregoes his instinct to fight when he escapes exile and during almost all encounters where he's alone with c!Dream thereafter by choosing to flee, and Wilbur becomes much more physically confrontational when his emotions run high and the people he cares about are directly at stake, as he did when c!Niki was being persecuted and treated unfairly by c!Schlatt and when he confronted c!Dream after learning about the abuse c!Tommy suffered in exile. 

c!Tommy and c!Wilbur also have similar mindsets regarding how they perceive themselves and others within the server, which fundamentally influences how their characters interact with people and react to events, as well as how their characters develop. The aspect of roles, both self-imposed and assumed by others, play a major part in their characterization and development even now. Combined with their originally black and white view of the world, which diverge from each other as c!Tommy and c!Wilbur develop separately, it leads to an interesting dichotomy between them.

For c!Tommy, this mindset is a central point of conflict in his character's development throughout the story. He has a complicated relationship with the roles assigned to him and internalized within himself. A core part of his character's development throughout his story is reconciling with others expectations and perceptions of him by either accepting or denying them in a brutal cycle he still struggles with even now. In his mind, it was black and white in that whoever was "with them" was "good" and whoever was "against them" was "bad", and the roles he assumed of himself and others reflected this. The events of November 16th forced him to consider thinking outside of the "us versus them" mindset and adapt it into something more nuanced, but this was still just the start of that shift. Moving forward into the beginning of the exile conflict and following arc, c!Tommy still holds onto those roles, but this is where it begins to change from something almost positive into something negative. c!Tommy's roles in his story were, up until this point, a combination of expectations/perceptions given to him by others as well as expectations/perceptions he gave himself. When c!Wilbur assigned him the duty of being his right hand man, he shouldered that role and all that came with it with pride. When c!Wilbur challenged his status later on, he challenged him right back. Even despite his position as "lower" in the hierarchy, c!Tommy was still an individual with his own will and was outspoken in his opinions. In exile, that fire and that opposition was dimmed and smothered until his sense of self and his worth as an individual was more dependent on outside perspectives rather than his own. This was evident in the bunker during the Disc Finale when he asked c!Tubbo, "What am I without you?" In his conversation with c!Foolish all of his development, both negative and positive, were displayed so well. His words about c!Wilbur in particular highlight this especially when he says that, in spite of all the bad he's committed in the past, he's still capable of good. As is anyone else. They weren't mutually exclusive to him anymore. Though, when he was questioned about his role on the server he concluded that it was up to interpretation based on the person, which still showcases his inner conflict with himself as an individual as well as the burden that comes with it.

In regards to how c!Wilbur perceives himself within this narrative, it's equally complicated in that he both thrived and spiraled within the confines of these roles. c!Wilbur is a showman, he revels in his theatrics with bouts of melodrama and making grand gestures. The world was a stage and he stepped into the center to perform. c!Wilbur views the server through the lens of storytelling, assigning and shouldering roles as he understands them. This, compounded with his black and white view of the world which was much like c!Tommy’s before his worldview gained a bit more nuance, prevented him from thinking outside the portrayals he envisioned in his mind. In the early days, anyone who was with them was “good” and anyone who was against them was “bad”, a simple division of them versus their opposition. Over time he buckled under the weight of these expectations, both from himself and others, and in the end succumbed to the combined stress of both this and his struggle with his declining mental health. As a result of his death and time in limbo, his own character development was suspended as the server left him behind. When he was revived, he was unchanged and lacking the knowledge of what had happened during his absence, thus leaving his adrift in its midst. He thought that he was center-stage in server's story and once again internalized these thoughts, attributing all its conflicts and changes to his own influence and portraying himself as the simultaneous sole solution and crux of the issue. At a surface level this seems to be due to his self-centered nature, and in some respects it is. However, this is also a means for him to conceal himself behind a facade. By continuing to play the roles he knows and by assuming everyone else falls in line as they always did before, he prevents himself from seeing what has changed and ignores it in favor of using it as a means to excuse his coming departure and all that it entails.

All of this to say, I'm interested in how they'll end their character's arcs and resolve the conflicts and issues they have with each other when they seem to have such fundamentally different ends in mind. c!Tommy wants a place and person he can feel safe and cared about with as an individual and as himself, while c!Wilbur seems to want to move forward and beyond everything completely once he's made his amends, leaving behind a legacy more favorable than his last. With the contrast inherent in c!Tommy's plea to stay warring with c!Wilbur's desire to leave, I am curious to see how these two will reconcile with all that in mind. It's my wish that they reach that conclusion together, despite it all.

[minecraftsz]

what do you mean this isn’t what happened

[tobi-smp]

I think my biggest problem with wilbur’s post-revival arc as a whole is that it keeps setting up stakes and ideas and concepts and character dynamics, and it almost never sticks the landing. but not due to the strength of the acting or character writing, but the Bones of the script.

they go out of their way to set up Major character drama between wilbur and tubbo. having tubbo not forgive him in the first place and telling him to Earn his trust, having tubbo continue to act distrustful of him during the cookie outpost, having wilbur cause an accident that takes one of ranboo’s canon lives right in front of tubbo, and then having ranboo Die For Real while tubbo proves he’s more than willing to kill over this fact and wilbur not even being aware that it happened.

and then we finally get to see them together again and they pretend that absolutely none of this has happened. ranboo’s name doesn’t even come up.

it’s meticulously set up that tommy and ghostbur have a special relationship with each other. ghostbur watches tommy throughout exile, one of the only times we ever see him get truly Angry involves him getting angry at phil on tommy’s behalf, he’s implied to have looked after tommy’s ghost after his death, he says that he thinks his unfinished business is actually Looking After Tommy,

which is kept up By Wilbur after ghostbur’s death. tommy is the only person on the server who mourns him, and it’s specifically those words of love from tommy that reaches him in his suffering. tommy holds on to friend following ghostbur’s death (at least until friend got skepped). and then wilbur sets up that he’s going to try to give friend to ghostbur With Tommy.

and then niki and wilbur give friend to ghostbur when niki had only seen ghostbur once and didn’t actually believe he was real when she did with about absolutely no mention of tommy.

niki’s literal arc trying to murder tommy because of how angry she was at wilbur doesn’t come up when they reconcile, and neither does her down spiral into isolation and paranoia and Anger following his death. which is a Big Fucking Deal considering that’s what niki’s character has been centered around for Years at this point, for Three Seasons. this should have been the culmination of her entire arc and it just wasn’t.

it’s set up that wilbur’s apologies are often surface level, done for the sake of it rather than having to dig up real feelings, Specifically by reinforcing that fact To Tommy over and over again. wilbur shows Tommy when he lies to other people in the early parts of the arc. contradicting the things he says to the people he’s apologizing to when they’re alone in that first apology stream, or “I don’t even know how to use tnt anymore.” tommy emphasizes that he wants someone That Won’t Lie To Him during their las nevadas stream, it’s a big part of that spat between the three of them. and this is Specifically and Intentionally highlighted throughout hitting on 16. it’s made a big deal out of both through the narrative and to the Characters.

and then it’s eret who calls out wilbur for giving a shitty apology when it’s the first time they’ve spoken since the day wilbur died. when eret has spent all of that time since idolizing l’manberg and putting wilbur up on a pedestal. when wilbur Very Much So still has trauma towards eret and doesn’t actually Owe eret an apology in the first place. when eret has spent months trying to make up for what she did knowing that she’d never be able to reach the person who needed to hear it the most, until suddenly She Can and he’s right in front of her.

instead she calls him out starting with a lackluster apology and then spends the rest of the stream grilling him. some of the things she says are things that he needs to hear, but it’s like she’s saying them Because Those Are What Wilbur As A Character Needs For His Arc and not because it makes sense for her as a character or for their relationship together.

and it’s not like I’d say that any of this is Bad. it’s very rare that I watch a stream from wilbur and say that I’m not happy with the acting, even when I Don’t like what’s happening with the character writing. some of my favorite streams of all time have come from this arc, both near the beginning and now towards the end.

but it’s like you get punished if you pay attention. small details, character dynamics, set up, entire arcs get bent or twisted or ignored and for seemingly no reason. all in ways that dull the impact Of the arc. even when we Have truly excellent individual streams, there’s no Flow or Cohesion in the arc as a whole.

and as old plot threads don’t get resolved and new plot threads get made in the lead up to the end it’s become increasingly clear that this final stream Won’t be able to be that impact, that payoff to the setup, that this arc Desperately needs.

or in other words, this is the post-revival arc

[endcrys]

This pride month I need every aromantic to get more annoying about being aromantic

[waitingawhile]

dsmp headcanons i abhor because i have decided to be unneccessarily opinionated online, feel free to rb with your own

Puffy is Dream's mom (adoptive or otherwise)

Awesam"dad" to Tommy

Sbi family canon

Sally is a mermaid (spare me andmy. life please...)

Kid headcanons for pets (e.g. Shroud the spider, Yogurt, etc)

c!dnf

Quackity is a father figure to Charlie

Any Schlatt blood relative headcanons (i.e. tubbo is his son)

C!endersmile involves any degree of mind control/implications that enderwalking ranboo is a dream proxy

Dreamon lore

Foolish has kids (idk why i am just not a fan)

Centaur sam (shivers my timbers for some reason)

Dream being at all related to gods/having naturally occurring powers or magic (I believe he is just a Guy, I think it adds dimension)

therapist Puffy (sorry)

c!wilbur using petnames for tommy

"cClingy are like brothers" (tubbo is the neighbor's kid who tommy did everything with growing up and vice versa. bff not b.r.o.)

Not a headcanon but I reject the Utah canon as well as the nuke end canon/memory reset among other endgame activities that occurred because of The Reasons

dsmp headcanons i want put in a smoothie for a refreshing drink

Purpled & Punz are estranged relatives or are heavily acquainted in some way

The samsung fridge mom canon is due to Phil pointing to a picture of Wil's mom on the fridge, calling it mom, and little wilbur thinking he meant the fridge

C!George aspd OR bpd headcanon (has trouble empathizing with or forming normative emotional connections with others. feels more comfort in transactional relationships, an alright guy)

c!techno is like a weird young uncle/parent's golf buddy to Wilibur

every time a character loses a canon life they develop more non-human traits upon respawn (horns/tail/strange eyes/ghoulish qualities etc)

C!endersmile involves enderwalking!ranboo having goals that align with c!Dream and working willingly with him. Ranboo with his memories and Dream interact like an older and younger classmate/bicker despite working together

the scrapped lore between Sam and Dream where Sam lets him go after recapturing him is canon

Punz is working with dream for more reasons than just money

michael is larglely non-verbal/communicates through grunts, squeals, and gestures

c!dream is morally irredeemable/does not feel remorse but is still deserving of human rights

Tommy is aroace

Fundy is a trans man

Blonde tubbo

During exile, the abuse Tommy faced by Dream was primarily psychological, and the extent of physical abuse was Dream shoving Tommy around sometimes or gripping his arm/shoulder ((I feel really compelled by the narrative of psychological/verbal abuse a having severe impact on a person, and the false justification that its not abuse if 'ive never hit you" and all that))(though I do eat up the more physical abuse interpretations it just wasn't exactly how I saw it on my first watch and wish I saw more people writing it in differing interpretations)
