If I think about cTubbo for too long I implode because he was only 17!!!!! He was 17 and the president of a nation that wasn’t even his!!!!! He was protecting a dream to the death, a dream that wasn’t his dream. He gave up everything EVERYTHING for the dream of a man who only saw him as his sidekicks sidekick. He was never himself, he was always part of something, l’manburg, Tommy’s best friend, a spy for the rebellion, and the one time he was chosen was because it’s didn’t matter who was chosen bc the place was going up in flames anyway. He had a target on his back and became the face of evil to protect a dream that he gave his life for TWICE with zero recognition. No one listened to him and he sat alone in his big cold office as others told him how he should think and what he should do and that he was an idiot, a tyrant and called him the name of the most hated man ever just because he wanted peace, something he never had before. No one listened to him, but even his best friend who said he would be at his side but blatantly ignored him and told him that he’s just like the man that murdered him. The man that executed him at 16 years old after making him decorate his own public execution.

He was only 17 and became Atlas. he became the face of what everyone hated. People destroyed the dream that didn’t belong to him yet he gave his life, his happiness, his friends, his childhood for just to say it’s his fault that governments are corrupt af that the world would have been better if he had never been given the role. A role he didn’t ask for. A role he was thrown into just for someone else to pull the rug from under him. He was only 17

#don’t look at me I’m being cringe #I miss qtubbo #and I reverted back #MY BABY BOY #HE WAS A BABY #screaming and crying #HE WASNT EVEN 17 AND HE BACAME THE FACE OF SONETHING PEOPLE WERE MEANT TO HATE #lmanberg wasn’t even his dream it was Wilbur’s and Tommy’s #I’m so normal about him I’m so normal about him #he makes me normal #i’m ill #he makes me physically ill #dsmp #dsmp tubbo #Tubbo

[soullesserror]

i saw someone else on here mention it the other day but i love how quickly tubbo picked up on the fact tallulah shakes her maracas to get people to read her signs, maybe phil told him but i think its just graaahhhh

this i havent seen anyone mention but i love that ramon is getting some more spotlight thanks to tubbo, like even myself, i didn’t know much about ramon but he’s climbing the ranks and becoming a quick favourite of mine

#qsmp #qsmp tubbo #qsmp tallulah #qsmp ramon #also im adding this after posting #but the fact tubbo mentioned tallulahs dad while she wasn’t there and chay told him to not do that while she was #and he immediately dropped it #and hasn’t mentioned wilbur since #he listens to the eggs and has fun with them #and i think it’s so incredible that chayanne wakes up for tubbo and ramon might too even when fit isn’t online

Found Some More Hatchetfield Lore!

I remembered that one of the Lang brothers said that Wiggly is based off of Cthulhu, so I decided to do something digging on a piece of shit author, H.P. Lovecraft and y’all… Okay, I don’t know if it counts as lore, but Hatchetfield is right under our noses.

CW: H.P. Lovecraft’s writing is full of bigotry, and if you plan on reading it, prepare yourself. For example, there is an evil entity named Shub-Niggurath. Yeah.

I don’t like H.P. Lovecraft, nor do I enjoy his writing in general, so here are some things that people should look up if you want to find out Hatchetfield’s inspiration. More thoughts on why I cannot write about him are at the bottom.

Also! I do not look down or dislike people who enjoy H.P. Lovecraft’s writing and his creations, and would really love for people to continue to look into things I cannot. I hope my little notes help!

(I’ve linked the stories in pink!)

SPOILERS: Hatchetfield? I guess? The Cthulhu Mythos & The Dream Cycle.

Cthulhu Mythos:

Just read ‘The Call of Cthulhu’. Everything makes sense.

Miss Holloway is based off of a character named Horvath Blayne from ‘The Black Island, Being the Narrative of Horvath Blayne’.

Duke Keane is also taken from ‘The Black Island’.

The narrator of ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ is named Francis Wayland Thurston.

Professor Hidgens is based off of an art student named Henry who is known for being eccentric and living in solitude. (The Call of Cthulhu)

Emma Perkins is named after a ship called the Emma. The crew got into a battle with Cthulhu’s cult members, which resulted in the Emma having one survivor. (The Call of Cthulhu)

John MacNamara is based off of the police officer John Legrasse. (The Call of Cthulhu)

Willabella Muckwab resembles Lavinia Whateley, from ‘The Dunwich Horror’. She has a son, Wilbur Whateley (Wilbur Cross), whose father is the cosmic entity Yog-Sothoth (Wiggog Y’rath). Lavinia went missing on Halloween, and the assumption is that Wilbur killed her. 👀

The Black Book is the Necremonium.

There’s always professors somewhere.

The Dream Cycle:

LOL. The Dream Cycle is a collection of short stories surrounding dream cities. I honestly haven’t read anything about this other than brief stuff from the Wiki, but the connections are painfully obvious.

The word ‘oblivion’ is written in the Black Book. H.P. Lovecraft has a poem titled Ex Oblivione. The narrator sees a gate in his dreams and wants to get past it, but he can’t access it. He eventually does, though. Yikes. Read this post, picture Willabella Muckwab as the narrator for Ex Oblivione, and enjoy.

Bonus: Some of the covers of the magazine that published H.P. Lovecraft’s work (Weird Tales) are sprinkled throughout Hatchetfield.

“Pete, get behind me! I’ve got a gun.”

“Steph… it’s a ghost. I don’t think that’s gonna do any good.”

Rosary? Killer Track, much? Also, the art style for the Black Book kind of resembles this… huh.

-

Note: I had planned to read all of H.P. Lovecraft and the associated work, but the racism is too much for me. I can’t “separate the art from the artists”, especially when everything evil is so obviously and horrendously based on Black people, as well as other races. Again— Shub-Niggurath. Like, seriously?

It’s a huge bummer, because I have so many thoughts— like the implications behind Willabella Muckwab associated with Lavinia Whateley, and Wilbur Cross also being associated with Wilbur Whateley. So much is at our finger tips.

I’m still going to be writing other things, though!

I have more of the Black Book deciphered, so that’s exciting, especially since I actually got some stuff right in my first post. (It was looked at through a more religious lenses rather than an H.P. Lovecraft lenses, though.) BUT STILL. MY EYES HURTING FROM INTENSE SQUINTING SESSIONS WAS NOT FOR NAUGHT! And I know I state some of these things as if they’re facts, but they’re ‘probably based on’ stuff.

Alright. I’m off to read about physics, the concept of nothingness, and the æther in the name of theatre kid.

tldr; the Lang bros made a the TTRPG Call of Cthulhu homebrew and turned it into musicals.

most devastating session of pages yet. my guy will never catch a break.

#playing loser characters is in my dna my heart is so big and fragile #and rn its shattering for wilbur who passed out under the stars in a field of sunflowers that he planted for sara #who is not even his #and all of this work that hes done for a project that only acts to further isolate himself #has been done at the cost of the things that he actually cares about slipping through his fingers #and he has no one to blame but himself #he wasn’t fast enough he didn’t do enough #the only thing that wil is good at is feeling sorry for himself which gets him absolutely nowhere #stuck in the center of the labyrinth that he built and purposefully made too difficult for anyone else to enter #pages farm

errm uhh augh how have you guys been long time no see. annotated young morro design be upon ye

without the bg cause you can see the sequins better with the bg but you can also see the words better without the bg

#after prophecy to leaving he would either obsess over being clean even in the middle of training #cause it’s ‘unfitting for the green ninja to look anything other than perfect’ or whatever #and being dirty shows he wasn’t good enough cause someone got a hit on him or something #or he would just either forget or not care about basic needs like showering and sleeping cause he’s too obsessed with the prophecy #cant really decide #after leaving/ghost morro will be out. maybe soon #morro tag is DEAD by the way is anyone still here #i’m one to talk i havent posted anything either #it’s cause i’m back in my 2020 purpled bedwars era #he was my fav long before las nevadas 🤞🤞 #and las nevadas purpled is INTERESTING genuinely #i was never one for lore streams but now that i learned how to have patience and how to kill cringe i’ve been watching his #i dont actually really know what the deal is with las nevadas i’m just watching purpleds bits #i’m halfway through but i know what happened but also don’t tell me anything #if anyone here even knows what i’m talking about #i can’t really call myself a dsmp kid cause i started watching before all the stuff started i think even before wilbur joined #and didn’t really watch the lmanberg streams just sorta generally knew what was happening #then completely dropped watching it when they started politics #i watched the content creators INDIVIDUALLY but not the dsmp lore itself #there’s too much it’s too much of a hassle #if anyone calls me cringe you literally cannot talk this is a season 5 lego ninjago character #and also it was covid it’s like a rite of passage to be into mcyt during covid #i know there’s a pipeline from mcyt to kids shows. i know there’s one out there #there’s definitely one from mcyt to musicals what with hamilton and all #ninjago #lego ninjago #morro ninjago #ninjago morro #morro wu #jellos scribbles

[arcadianico]

it makes so much sense that quackity couldn’t talk to SOPHIA about love without also talking about grief btw. the two are so intertwined in the smp as a whole but especially in qquackity’s story. his love and grief are inextricable from each other, they’re symbiotic

#he refuses to talk about his feelings for wilbur as love. because he knows its not #its attraction yeah but not love. they barely know each other #also i maintain that his desire for wilbur is less about wilbur and more about the role wilbur can fill or should have filled in his life #quackity’s obsession with wilbur is fundamentally tied into his grief for tilín #literally the whole thing is about q thinking wilbur was meant to be his partner and therefore also tilín’s other parent #and that massively colours how q views both wilbur and tallulah #that’s why he’s been so obsessed #his talk about roier and cellbit was cute but really when he was describing love he wasn’t talking about them because so much of what he #said doesn’t apply to spiderbit’s relationship at least yet #(there’s still time) #but there’s a reason he couldn’t help but circle back to tilín #tilín has been q’s biggest motivator for most of the series in one way or another #his relationship with tilín might have been doomed but that doesn’t mean he didn’t love them #he loved them to the point of self destruction #and after that conversation with SOPHIA i think he’s only now picking up the pieces #or even examining them in detail #the grief and love he has towards tilín have been overshadowing him this whole time and he hasn’t dealt with it #idk he’s tried at points but he always falls back on denial and pretending he’s fine #maybe because he feels like letting go of any part of his grief is like letting go of his love for tilín and he doesn’t want to do that #after all they are two sides of the same coin #god this is a ramble anyway #quackity #sophia qsmp #tilín #tilin #qsmp

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

Wilbur opens his eyes. He knows that knock; quiet, light, taps more than anything. It’s Phil. Tommy always pounds his bloody fist against the wood, and Technoblade uses the doorbell. Phil knocks softly, like he’s afraid the door will collapse if he uses an ounce more of force. It’s Phil at the door.

~~~

Wilbur breathes a whistlely sigh. The dirt floor falls away, and the dancing light of the torch leaves his eyelids, and his feet are touching nothing but air. For the first time, he begins to reckon with the idea—the knowledge, the fact—that his eyes may never open again. He feels weightless. He doesn’t feel free, because he’s not dead, and that makes him desperately sad.

~~~

Wilbur laughs again. “You’re funny sometimes, y’know.”

Ghostbur’s face lights up. “Really?”

~~~

Techno swallows. His eyes trail over Ghostbur, catching on every single pulsing wound that won’t heal. He doesn’t say anything.

~~~

Every couple steps, one of them stumbles, but the other holds on and makes sure they don’t fall, so none of them fall. It’s really hard to think; with every step on the broken ground, thoughts of Dream fall away, until all that’s left is Tommy, and Ghostbur, and walking, and trying not to fall, and breathing.

“We’re almost there,” Tommy whispers, not looking up. “Please, please, we’re almost there.”

~~~

“I really like yogurt,” Ghostbur whispers. His eyes brighten even more, and he turns back to Wilbur with an expression so utterly touched that it makes Wilbur’s brow furrow. “Thank you for getting me this.”

“No problem,” Wilbur answers uncertainly. He clears his throat. “Next time, um, next time we go to a store we’ll have to get some yogurt. For uh, for you.”

Ghostbur gasps a second time. “Really?”

“Yeah?” Wilbur narrows his eyes. “Why not? It’s what you like, right?”

Ghostbur nods, staring down at his little yogurt container with eyes so wide it’s almost comical.

~~~

Snow crumbles as Techno rises to a stand. He becomes a silhouette against the snow-bright sky. “This… this isn’t going to affect our friendship, is it? You’re not gonna hold a grudge because of this?”

~~~

“Why are you in here? With me? You don’t have to be. You can go, if you want.” Wilbur nods his head towards her. “I know that chair must suck.”

“I don’t mind it.” Niki’s voice sounds genuine, but her continued restless shifting gives her away. “And I’m in here because I want to be.”

“Why?”

Her voice gets softer. “So you won’t be lonely.”

Wilbur’s jaw tightens. He looks away. “I don’t care.”

“Yes you do. You’re scared to be alone.”

~~~

“I don’t want an apple.” Tommy sighs again. “I want you to stop being weird.”

“Weird people make the world go round.”

Tommy wrinkles his nose. “No they don’t. Rich billionaires do.”

Ghostbur stares at him. “Try the apple.”

“I’m gonna be one someday, y’know.”

“An apple?”

“No. A billionaire. Then I’ll make the world go round, and I’ll flaunt my money like nobody’s business. All the girls will love me.”

Ghostbur offers his hand forward. “Try the apple.”

~~~

“With pickles?”

“Yes.”

“And mustard?”

“Yes, my love.”

Sally’s eyes widen. “And extra cheese?”

Wilbur smiles, just a touch exasperated, but mainly endeared. “Of course. I know how you like your burgers. What sort of married man would I be if I didn’t?”

~~~

Wilbur curls up, pressing that arm close to his chest. “Tommy? I don’t wanna forget how to love you. I don’t wanna love you not-right. That’d make me feel awful.” Quieter, he adds, “Mum feels awful when she realizes she forgot. That’s why she’s crying now, I think. She didn’t mean to not love me right. She didn’t mean to.”

~~~

“Every Jedi except me.” Ranboo closes his eyes, silently praying that no one other than Tommy is listening to this conversation. He should have faith, he knows, but he doesn’t think he has any. And that feels wrong.

[apollos-boyfriend]

i still strongly believe that one of the best scenes of the dsmp is right after the fight in the pit, where niki, tommy, and tubbo were wandering in the forests outside of pogtopia and stopped on a ledge that overlooked manberg so they could watch the sun set. tommy played a disc and the three of them vowed to stick together no matter what as niki assured them they’d all be okay and that there was still hope for l’manberg. i know i say this a lot but LITERALLY poetic cinema

#icarus speaks #like. there’s so much to unpack #there’s the dramatic irony #we know what happens. we know she’s wrong. #wilbur explodes l’manberg and new l’manberg falls. no matter how much hope they had nothing could save it. #the three of them don’t stick together. tubbo self-isolates in snowchester and niki flees to her city and tommy is left to wander #niki tries to kill tommy even. they didn’t stay by each other’s side #and the SYMBOLISM. the NARRATIVE. #the sun set on their childhoods. on their naïveté and bright-eyed hope for the future. #tubbo was blown up and forced to watched his best friend to beat to (technical) death. #tommy had to sit by as his best friend was killed and instructed by his older brother to fight a near-god to the death. #and niki’s safety shattered before her eyes. pogtopia was supposed to be her escape. he’d safe haven. #and her first introduction to the place she dreamed of becomes tainted with blood and death #all three of them lost something that day. and the sunset took those things away with it. #it wasn’t a sunrise. it wasn’t hope for a better day. their warmth was fading. #can you tell i’m a bit crazy insane about this. i’m so fucking unwell i think about this DAILY

[soup--champ]

guys i understand the constant fear of c!dream just doing more to c!tommy, but we are currently well into the falling action of c!tommy’s story, and narratively it would be a bit shit to have dream come back with some grand scheme AGAIN. i trust tommy to know how to tell an interesting narrative with his character and to know when to end it.

#dsmp #soup speaks #wilbur soot #tommyinnit #dsmp spoilers #like bro having c!dream come back with some grand scheme AGAIN is so fucking boring guys #like there is no narrative weight to any big moments if the villain simply faces no defeat #he’s not omniscient he’s just a fucked up evil guy #and this plan wasn’t even set up by him like the disc confrontation was

[unbrandedpam]

Checking twitter is always the biggest slap to the face

#talking into the mic #I need Wilbur soot to stop liking tntduo art LIKE ACTUALLY. #I miss when sbi was the big thing hashtag found family and all #even if it wasn’t really a. canon dynamic #UGHHHH JUST TAKE ME BACK TO December 2021 or something

[dissonantharmony]

heyy does anyone want to like. explain what happened in wilbur and foolish’s streams. bc my brain Cannot retain focus long enough to watch either of them

#got halfway through wilburs stream and physically could not continue even tho i wanted to #there wasn’t anything in it that was bothering me or anything my brain is just being a dick #dream smp

[uncertaininnit]

tiktok is recommending me edits of Wilbur from the concerts and I can feel myself quickly reverting to my 2020 Wilbur simp era

#It’s returning to me as if my body never truly forgot it #Back before I was comfortable about being ace and wasn’t even sure about it #I was like is he the acception lmao #Wilbur soot #lovejoy
