cling to me

I know I said I was going to distance myself from this piece of media because of all of its terrible connections, but these two characters seem to have taken root in a permanent place in my heart, and I can't let them go.

Anyway, here's some character design notes below the cut for the one person out there who's obsessed with these characters as much as me.

Early DSMP: the era of childhood innocence

Bandanas: They sport each other’s bandana’s (they’re hidden in the design for every era). I love character designs with complementary colors (and I love how red and green are also cranboo’s colors)

Disks: Early on, cat and mellohi represent the peaceful moments ctommy shared with his favorite people, but they went on to be a symbol of victory and independence from the people who have hurt him.

Flowers: Ctubbo collects flowers and tries to memorize the meanings and symbolism tied to each type of flower. He also collects them for his bees.

L’manberg: the era where children became soldiers

Horns: Ctubbo’s horns start to grow in here.

Pogtopia: the era of an exile and a secretary of state / spy

You can tell I joined the fandom at the end of this era because I don’t have many notes here or for the l’manberg era.

Exile: the era of an exile once again and and a president too young

Hair: Ctommy’s hair starts to grow longer as he neglects taking care of himself.

Clothes: Ctommy’s clothes are tattered; one shoe is destroyed and he took to wearing cw-lbur’s (f-ck ccw-lbur btw!!) trench coat.

Bandages: Ctubbo’s wrapped in bandages from his recently earned firework burns. He’s gone blind in his right eye, and he’s missing the ring and pinkie finger on his right hand.

Compasses: They share their matching ‘your tommy’ and ‘your tubbo’ compasses

Hog Hunt: the era where one sought to kill the blood god while the other sought refuge there

Stolen goods: Ctommy’s has his antarctic empire outfit plus all the goods he stole from ctechno like the turtle helmet, golden apples, and the axe of peace.

Bedrock: Ctommy wears his counterpart piece matching techno’s from his ear.

Prosthetic: Ctommy’s right foot had to be amputated after he loses it to frostbite in the trek to cemeraldduo’s cabin. Ctechno gives him a simple prosthetic.

Disc Finale: the era of mended relationships and a final stand

Headband: Ctommy begins to wear a devil headband to fit in more, as he’s one of the few humans on the server. The devil horns were chosen to resemble ceryn’s real ones.

Patchwork: Ctommy learns to sew, and he fixes his tattered clothes from exile.

Post Revival:

Devil horns: Ctommy’s devil horns (plus a tail) become real after revival, and he gets a white streak in his hair.

Prime cross: The bad things that have happened to them both that they survived strengthen ctommy’s faith in prime, whereas they weaken ctubbo’s faith.

Sweater: Ctommy makes himself a sweater from friend’s wool.

Mechanical inventions: Ctubbo pursues his passion for engineering more as he makes mechanical bee drones and studies nuclear physics. He also makes himself prosthetic fingers, and he upgrades ctommy’s prosthetic foot.

Marriage ring: Ctubbo marries cranboo platonically and wears the ring on his horn. He also founds snowchester so he can have a place to protect his loved ones and raise his son. He grows out his hair to avoid eye contact for cranboo and to cover his scars.

Body type: Ctubbo gets chubbier and gains some muscle as he gets a bit happier in life.

Post DSMP:

The prison break and everything after it never happened. These are my OCs, and I make the rules because every actor/writer who played a part in their creation either abandoned them or turned out to be a terrible person. Cbenchtrio live happily ever after and begin their journey of healing while cdream rots in prison forever.

cookie outpost is also awesome as a ctubbo story arc because it’s. like. one of the rare ctubbo storylines where it’s About Him, not just an arc where he gets dragged along for the ride. he is the motivator here. he is the one picking fights and standing his ground and making the active decision to escalate conflict which is just SO AWESOME from ctubbo because he does Not do that. not usually. but this time, his supporting cast, quackity and ranboo, are there to illustrate him as a character. yes q and ranboo have their own takeaways from this arc but it’s tubbo who is at the heart of it. for once, tubbo is the one pushing.

and then he just stops. he joins quackity, he stops the threats, he packs it all up neatly and goes back to being responsible and well-behaved little tubbo again. it’s like measured indulgence! can you hear me it’s like he’s LETTING HIMSELF be aggressive in careful safe doses, like he knows quackity and ranboo won’t hurt him for it. and then he stops it and cleans it up and waits for the next time things blow up. it’s nuts. i feel deranged

Is c!Tubbo the best dsmp character or is c!Tubbo the best dsmp character

#yes #if y’all couldn’t tell I really like c!Tubbo #c!tubbo #ctubbo

[afmis]

I think we all moved on from c!tubbo and c!ranboo's marriage too soon. That marriage had everything someone could want. Tender support through hard times. Disability 4 disability love. Propensity for crime. Weird little child. Batshit crazy third wheel (tommy). Willingness to both die and kill for each other. Undying devotion. Fucked up vibe. Toddler parents. Height difference. Ranboo's "alien's first day on earth trying to be human" energy. Tubbo's energy that I can only describe as "smiley face but squashed and evil." Ranboo constantly making tubbo new equipment and tools. Nukes. Idk what else. And then being exactly the same on the origins smp just more evil.

drawing characters over text posts is surprisingly fun and this one reminded me of them. I tried to write their speech bubbles in a way that I think their handwriting would look.
