#I will clarify that I think c!wilbur isn’t necessarily aware this is what he’s doing

[hamletteprinceofdenmark]

Thinking about how c!wilbur uses repetition to reinforce things he says but does not actually believe, or when he is in a particularly bad mental spiral, and how he uses it to reinforce his own narrative over reality, reframing and actively shaping the narrative of his life, lending reasoning to the destructive choices he makes ... 

“Tubbo’s like, ‘I’ll be your spy!’. And then we’ve got like Fundy who’s like saying to everyone’s twitch chats that he’s gonna revolt against us. And you’ve got Eret giving us fucking potatoes, that say fucking ‘I’m gonna be friends with you’. It’s bullshit! It’s all bullshit!” - (Wilbur’s Vod: who are you go away: 1:13:22, 8th Oct 2020)

“Everyone who’s claiming to be on our side, they’re lying to us! Tubbo?! He’s lying to you man! He would drop us at the second he realises we’re not in the lead anymore!” - (Wilbur’s Vod: who are you go away: 1:16:15, 8th Oct 2020)

“I have to light it, I’ve got to light it, I’ve got to light it.” - (Wilbur’s Vod: The Festival: 1:08:17, 16th Oct 2020)

“He [Technoblade] fucking killed Tubbo, he killed Tubbo. He fucking killed Tubbo.” - (Wilbur’s Vod: The Festival: 1:08:08, 16th Oct 2020)

“It’s just as exactly as I predicted- It’s as exactly as I predicted, it’s exactly as I predicted. This is just all a travesty.” - (Wilbur’s Vod: The Festival: 1:17:59, 16th Oct 2020)

“Don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong, it’s fine that you’re a traitor, I like it, I like it, it’s cool.” - (Wilbur’s Vod: The Festival: 1:23:39, 16th Oct 2020)

“No, no. You know what, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, this is, yeah. Let me make a point. This is perfect! No, no, no, no. Look, Tommy, this is perfect. Tommy, this is absolutely magnificent.” - (Wilbur’s Vod: The Festival: 1:15:15, 16th Oct 2020)

Followed shortly by: 

“Ah that’s perfect, that is perfect. That is absolutely perfect. Thank you, thank you. I am honestly, I’m satisfied with today.” - (Wilbur’s The Festival: 1:28:26, 16th Oct 2020)

And November 16th, holy shit, Wilbur repeats himself so much, it hurts: 

Whenever I'm here, I'm reminded of the song that I've scribbled on the walls. That - That you know, that there was a special place, there was, was a special place, where men could go and emancipate, you know, and there was definitely - That special place did exist once. It did. It did. (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:12:13, 16 Nov 2020) 

The thing that I built this nation for doesn't exist anymore! The thing I worked towards doesn't exist anymore.  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:13:12, 16 Nov 2020)

We just made Tubbo President! We, we - um - we elected Tubbo as president and -  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:13:46, 16 Nov 2020)

Have you heard the song on the walls, before? Have you heard the song? I was just saying - I made this big point - and it w - and it was poignant! And it was that it's um, that there was a special place where men could go, but it's not there anymore, you know?  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:14:38, 16 Nov 2020)

I'm always so close to pressing this button, Phil! I have been - I have been here, like, seven or eight times I have been here! Seven or eight times.  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:14:58, 16 Nov 2020)

Phil: And you want to just blow it all up?

Wilbur: I do. I do. I think I -  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:15:21, 16 Nov 2020)

I don't even know if it works anymore, Phil. I don't even know if the button works. I could - I could press it and it might -  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:15:30, 16 Nov 2020)

Wilbur: Phil - There was a saying, Phil - I'm gonna turn down these bloody fireworks - Phil, there - there was a saying, Phil, uh, by a traitor, uh, once part of L'Manburg, a traitor, I don't know if you've heard of Eret?

Phil: Yeah.

Wilbur: He had a saying, Phil. It was never meant to be!  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:15:51, 16 Nov 2020)

Deliberately repeating Eret’s phrase is I think particularly interesting. 

And the most brutal of all: 

Wilbur: Kill me, Phil. Phil, kill me. Phil, kill me! Phil, stab me with the sword, murder me now. Kill - Kill me. Killza! Killza! Do it! Kill me, Phil. Murder me. Look! They all want you to! Do it, Phil. Kill me. Phil, kill me!  (Wilbur’s Smithereens (L'manberg Finale), 1:16:51, 16 Nov 2020)

#wilbur soot #dream smp #c!wilbur #october 16 #the festival #not even sure what this is but it sure feels like something #I'm remembering how people pointed out Trump uses repetition and i'm connecting dots but i dont like it #I will clarify that I think c!wilbur isn’t necessarily aware this is what he’s doing #the colour coding by the way is just to differentiate between different repetitions in the same quote #there’s no key or symbolism behind it #my meta #? #I guess ...
