#i still refuse to believe hes from utah. im choosing to believe he was fucking with us. sorry bitch you're british forever

so the desert/utah represents cwilbur's freedom from the narrative. he's been playing the role he thinks the story needs this entire time- general washington, the tragic anti-hero, the sweet woobified ghost, a menacing pixie nightmare girl, and then finally the disgraced protagonist seeking out redemption. he wants so badly to be a three act protagonist- alas, he is in a improv group roleplay. he's trying to play by the rules of the story where those rules do not exist by the nature of the medium. the apology streams help break him of this because nobody acts the way he would expect them to in a story. eret demands a real apology and change from him. niki is distant. fundy straight up tells him they will never reconcile. he only hurts tommy more and tommy tells him so. all of this compounds until the finale, where he stops seeing himself as a character and starts seeing himself as a person. this is why he leaves minecraft, the stage for his play, and appears in the real world, finally free from the narrative.

so why then c u in ut? why tell this to eret of all people? because he hopes that she too, will be free from the narrative. the narrative that he put on her: the tyrant king, the traitor, his own personal judas. but also, the narrative she helped make: she betrayed him, said the iconic line, moved the story from a lighthearted play conflict to a story, a narrative. "you are not the villain"- he hopes that one day, she too will leave the stage, and join him in the desert.
