A bunch of head cannons (Maybe too much). Also in talking about the characters.
I think Dream is that one design where his skin is just the static tv screen. He just constantly emits that fuzzy noise, Sam crafted him the smile mask that he can see through so he doesn't scare people.
George is just kind of the server itself. He's the same species as Hannah, but a mushroom and more powerful. If he stays awake too long, the server just kind of freezes. This is also a reason XD keeps him sleeping, it's his way of talking to George and he thinks the server is like his soap opera of mortals.
Callahan is sort of like the person who makes sure George doesn't get killed or dies while asleep, making sure he's surrounded by mushrooms and such. Deer hybrid <3
Alyssa joined the server because she knew all her friends were idiots and didn't want them to die immediately. But once the elections rolled around, she felt the pressure of choosing sides and ran away to the desert, only keeping contact with Ponk. She actually lives just a couple miles from Foolish's summer home. Her communicator actually died after a couple months and she had no way of charging it, so she lost contact with everyone.
Sapnap is a magma cube hybrid and can jump higher than most, his natural temperature runs hotter, and is fire proof. Bad found him in the nether when he was maybe 10-15 years old.
Sam was actually a normal creeper, but gained player like sentience from being struck by lightning. Instead of becoming charged, he gained intelligence and met the others on the server. Callahan taught him some Redstone, but from there he figured out a lot on his own. He's also a creeper centaur.
Ponk is actually a descendant of a fairy, a lemon tree. Their mask was also a gift from Sam because after the second or third time their tree was burnt, their immune system was weakened a considerable amount. Alyssa also wore her mask for them.
Bad is a size shifting demon from the nether, more specifically soul sand desert. He uses soul fire to gain strength, so because the egg died when near it, he was just a little weaker than normal. Because he's a demon he needs a tie to the overworld to stay there, he tied his soul and lives to Skeppy.
Tommy was grown in a lab to be a hero, project: THESEUS. The lab gave him small enhancements, like slightly stronger and just a bit more resilient, to make the Above Average Boy (TM). He then ran away to meet Wilbur. When Dream asked Wilbur if he wanted to come to the server, he asked if Tommy could go first to see what it was like. He also actually really likes gardening and making up funny songs to Wilbur playing guitar. He also made funny lyrics for his discs, but he's still a bit scared to take them out of his ender chest. Other than bringing attachment, Dream also exiled Tommy to see what his lab enhancements could do.
Tubbo is an adaptive hybrid! His hair was blond, shifting to brown when Wilbur found him, getting blue eyes from Tommy, growing small horns under Schlatt, parts of his skin being static when Dream was "helping" him with his presidency, and parts of his scars tinging black and green from Ranboo and Micheal. Tubbo also helped Wilbur write part of the anthem. He likes living in the snow because the Manberg flag had magma blocks on it, casting a heatwave over the country, and after L'Manburg blew up it got really hot from the exposed stone in direct sun.
Fundy can actually hold his breath for a very long time and swim very well because of Sally teaching him and his salmon genes. The yellow things on his hat are actually shells, and the stripes on his jacket are trans colors. Also with his dreams, he saw Eret was going to betray them but didn't think it was real, or didn't want to. He also saw Wilbur blow up L'Manburg but chose not to believe it, thinking his father could still be saved. He actually saw pretty much everything, but didn't quite understand what they were until after doomsday.
The necklace Punz wears is one of those picture lockets, but he lost the picture and can't remember what it was. The first time Dream paid him was when Dream asked for help and Punz made an off hand joke about getting money, and then Dream thought he was being serious. Him, Dream, and Sapnap were like brothers, and Punz got sadder every time he saw Dream pushing people away and diving deeper into darkness.
Purpled is an aliensent to see if the planet was colonizable, but then crashed and was stranded, all his communications down and his ship barely able to hover fifty feet off the ground. When Quackity blew it up, he essentially got rid of his chance of ever going home. Purpled's species can shapeshift, so he turned himself into the first person he saw, Punz. Eventually before trying to communicate with the native life forms, he edited his form a little so they weren't identical, keeping purple eyes and antennae, changing the colors slightly, and changing the voice up. When he moves away from the main SMP, Ponk makes sure to check up on him and that he has a way to check his communicator.
Wilbur came a month after sending Tommy. His father being a patron of life and his mother the goddess of death, he met in the middle being born as a human. The only reason Ghostbur was as active and present as he was was because he was so connected to both life and death. Since his corpse was decaying for as long as it was, Wilbur is now super weak, his flesh is thin and his eyes are rotted and gone. Much like Ghostbur, Wilbur in limbo saw what people said about him, and Ghostbur could hear that from the back of his head. Now Wilbur can hear what people say about Ghostbur and he hates it, not wanting to be connected to what he thinks like a shell of himself.
Schlatt is a ram (duh) and actually does the fainting goat thing. So when he died of a heart attack, no one knew at first if he was actually dead or not. His alcoholism stems from the revive book, as the possibility of tampering with death made him existential and scared, so to cope he drank. There are also a ton of other stuff other than revival in the book, but it's in galactic.
Skeppy was just a normal human, but after making the pact with Bad, Bad put a spell on him. Parts of him turned into diamond, protecting both his and Bad's lives. He however, is unaware of this. With the egg, he would just sit on it, the diamonds chipping away to make room for the vines.
Eret was cursed by the Wither Cult, giving them white eyes and a slowly deteriorating memory. Not sure what to do, Foolish dropped them off at the SMP. Sometimes they would dream about old memories from before the curse, but it was just glimpses so he could never tell what they meant. Once they were king, they made the Herobrine shrine subconsciously, not really sure what it was after. They also had a strange affinity of beacons and resurrection, some of their memories resurfacing when they tried to help Phil and Ghostbur revive Wilbur after doomsday. The reason people are more scared of their eyes than any other wierd eyes was because he generally looks like a normal human, but the wither along with their Herobrine origins creates an uncanny valley that people are shocked by.
Jack had red and blue irises before crawling out of hell, but after coming back the whites of his eyes also turned red and blue. He always wears 3d glasses so no one noticed, but he just thought no one cared enough to mention it. He also has a bunch of scars and burn marks that no one but him can see, therefore no one asks about them or thinks something is wrong, cementing the idea that no one cares about him.
Niki is a blaze hybrid (stole this from @/420technoblazeit) whose fire hair color changes based on strong emotion, something she bond with Tubbo for as a fellow shifter. A soft yellow in L'Manburg, brighter orange in Manburg, hot pink on Doomsday, a soul fire blue with the syndicate (which Techno hates), and a dead grey when she found out Wilbur was alive. She was also old child hood friends with Ranboo and Eret, leaving Ranboo for the SMP. Ranboo, unfortunatly, doesn't remember much more than her name. She also knows galactic from Ranboo, so she talks about her troubles to Shy the Enderman. She doesn't really know how to talk to Puffy anymore after Doomsday or finding out how she wants to protect Tommy.
Quackity can perfectly replicate someone's voice and, with a lot of effort, can completely change his form to another player. He also has very small yellow wings, too small to fly, so he almost always hides them. He used to constantly change his voice for jokes with Karl, Sapnap, and George, but he doesn't like doing it now in Las Nevadas, as he sees it as unprofessional. However, sometimes he uses when he visits Dream, changing his voice to people like George and Sapnap to make torture more effective.
In the In Between and Other Side, Karl actually looks like his old skin, or his natural state (the big purple one that inspired his sweater). But most of the time in the normal world, he looks human. With effort he can bring out the interdemential being thing, something only Quackity and Sapnap know about. The more he time travels, the easier it becomes to change, and he's even started defaulting to the other form.
HBomb is actually just a normal news reporter, sent to interview and record what's going on in the server, his first big story being the election. Upon Doomsday, the stress of seeing everyone alone, fighting, and disconnected, he ran away from the world, essentially becoming a cat lady. His undercover reporter persona is actually the cat maid. He eventually came back to the server to see how he could help after Doomsday, befriending Niki again and living with her in the underground city.
Techno is a piglin, so he's scared of soul fire. He forgot to tell Phil before he decorated the syndicate room, so he just suffers in silence. He also does better when around a lot of gold, like in the nether, and he feels drained and slightly weaker without it. Instead of just putting gold around the area (it would ruin his property value), he just hibernates. He has an emerald earing, like all of the syndicate, but his is a locket that unfolds into pictures of the syndicate.
Ant always wears a red hoodie, now ruined by the egg, that used to be Red's. On Red's death anniversary, him, Bad, Skeppy, and Sam would make cake and put flowers on his grave. He missed the last one because it was during the egg, but for a brief moment after Puffy killed him he saw Red. Red then promptly and bluntly told him to stop being a pussy (haha, cat) and that he shouldn't do all this just to get him back, one of Ant's motivators to make amends with the people he hurt while with the egg. Ant is also a shapeshifter, but can only turn into a cat.
Phil actually used to work under Foolish as a patron of life but then he had a son with the goddess of death, so his title was removed so he could be with her and he became an Angel of Death. Kristin noticed how sad he was after being released, so she gifted him wings. They were however, destroyed on November 16th. His chat also serves as messenger pigeons, which were used to send letters to Wilbur.
Connor is actually just a hedgehog who somehow befriended Schlatt. Even before the haunted mansion, Karl vented to him about his time travel troubles, not knowing he was a sentient player. As a hedgehog, no one really cares where he goes, so he goes outside the server limits to meet his friends from the haunted mansion.
Puffy is a distant relative of Schlatt, but instead of politics she went into piracy. With her mom, she went travelling the seas. One say, a storm came and wiped out her ship, her crew, her mom, everything but her. The reason she survived was because Foolish saw her and saved her. Unfortunately, Puffy hit hee head in the crash and doesn't remember anything.
Vikkstar is the equivalent of a big time celebrity, so of course his endorsement of POG2020 was a big deal.
Lazarbeam is literally just a ginger bread cookie.
Ranboo has actually met a lot of the smp before actually joining. He's met Niki, Fundy, Eret, Punz, and Dream at least. He also sees the inverted colors Enderman see. His suit was actually a gift from Eret before they forgot how to tailor. He got the crown from Techno after joining the syndicate, claiming he didn't want any syndicate members to look like trash.
Foolish came to the server most recently to check up on Eret, but he couldn't bring himself to leave again. When Puffy adopts him, he can't say no because he remembers saving her. His initial goal was to kill an ender dragon to claim the XD title and become a full god like DreamXD, but after realising someone already killed it he went into his totem if death phase. Upon meeting Eret, he got over it and they went on some silly adventures, Foolish now taking a more peaceful route.
Hannah is essentially a weaker George, as her power is tied to the plants themselves and not the entire server. She however has a lot more physical power because rose dryads like to fight because they have thorns. Since roses can be taken out a lot easier, she is essentially a glass canon. Also when around any plant, she can make it grow faster than normal.
Any guest on the server? Corpse, Pokimane, Lil Nas? They were all Slimecicle. That's how he knows where everyone is from, even outside of Las Nevadas. No one else knows this. He's also ancient, if he met Phil they would probably recognise eachother. There was an actual Charlie Slimecicle who was not a slime, but after being launched into orbit this Slimecicle decided to impersonate him.
Michael Mcchill is a sort of bounty hunter. He came to the server after hearing of all the crime, assuming there'd be a lot of bounties to collect. However, he soon learned that no one really cares if you commit a crime. He then took to reading news articles made by HBomb to see if there were any past open bounties. But after reading for a while about the server's wronguns, mostly Dream, he began to sympathise with them. And he's also a speedrunner, so maybe he could help with some bounties across other servers!
This was a very long post and i apologize, but it was so fun to finally write all these thoughts down! I hope you liked them! I can't even fit all the tags I want.

Dream SMP Recap (January 19/2021) - The Last Night
The last night before things go down.
After continuing for over six months -- half a freaking year, the Disc War might finally come to an end tomorrow.
HBomb leaves home, Niki discusses anarchy with Technoblade, and Snowchester continues on its merry way on the side.
Though the situation looks dire, things might not be completely lost, as Punz makes a surprising discovery that could shift the tides of the battle...
The meeting will happen at 7pm GMT/ 2pm EST TOMORROW.
---
- HBomb sees the signs Tommy left at his place, but is a little upset that he didn’t bother to learn that it wasn’t Eret living there. He sees the upside of Tommy learning and growing in maturity, though.
- HBomb meets with Niki at the ruins of her bakery by the Docks. She is wearing Wilbur’s cloak. He’s confused by why she had to blow up the bakery and burn L’mantree. Niki says it’s because of the memories.
HBomb: “You wanna get rid of your memories? You don’t just wanna learn from them?”
- HBomb says he’s only been able to trust Niki and Eret this whole time, but he doesn’t even know if he can trust them. He’s thinking about moving.
- They head to HBomb’s place at the Castle. He gives her all his supplies -- everything, except for his two Pigstep discs.
- They head up to the Nether roof and start heading West. They head out into a savannah and find a populated village. Niki leaves, and HBomb begins his new goal of keeping the villagers protected and safe. 
He has to go back to help Niki since she got lost, and the subject of Tommy comes up again.
HBomb: “Good deeds cause good people to do good deeds...”
Niki: “I am done with doing good deeds.”
HBomb: “But Niki, bad deeds cause people to do bad deeds. So in this case, wouldn’t it just be better not to do anything?”
Niki: “What will happen if we don’t do anything? Tommy will keep doing the same things he is doing over again...”
HBomb: “Okay, maybe you’re right...I...I just don’t like the idea of you trying to hurt him rather than just leave him.”
Niki: “You don’t need to agree with me, HBomb, I’m not asking you to. Just trust me on this.”
HBomb: “Okay, just...try not getting carried away. Not too much...”
- Tubbo’s got himself some NUKES. 
(They’re sticks with a texture pack)
- Tommy comes online later. He keeps talking about how it might be his last night alive. Tubbo comes over to say hi. Tubbo shows him the nuke and says he’d like Tommy to live with him in Snowchester after they get the discs back.
- Tommy decides to go around and say some goodbyes. First up is George’s Mushroom House.
- He then heads to Techno’s house, hoping for some supplies. Techno and Ranboo are both there. He’s extremely bad at being subtle and soon gets found by Techno.
- Tommy and Techno have a conversation. Tommy fills Techno in on the fight happening tomorrow and says he messed up. Tommy starts running back to the portal. Techno doesn’t feel like chasing after him. Tommy says that after tomorrow, if he doesn’t die, he wants to make amends.
- Next, Tommy visits the remains of Logstedshire. He reflects on his exile and says that for all the struggle, he made it out of there. 
- He returns home and decides to make one last drug room, as that was his happiest memory: making drugs in the Camarvan.
- Tubbo leads Tommy over to Snowchester. While on the way, Tommy looks at the Prison and reflects on how, since it was built during his exile, he was the only one who couldn’t see it being built...he and Techno. What purpose does Dream have for it?
- They make it to Snowchester and greet Jack and Foolish.
- Sapnap comes online and speaks with Tommy. He reminisces about how the three of them killed Dream in that first fight. Sapnap gives Tubbo the Axe of Peace.
- Next, Tommy speaks with Connor.  
Tubbo: “We’re gonna kick the crap out of Dream to save some music!”
- Connor says Ghostbur left him a gift to give to Tommy. He gives Tommy Chekhov’s Gun and Ghostbur’s Pick, meaning Tommy has both Dream and Wilbur’s crossbows.
Tommy: “You know the old Wilbur? Let’s make him proud.”
- They drink some drugs. End life on a high note!
- Techno sees the Eggpire propaganda and comments on how this sounds an awful lot like a government, and says that he’ll “deal with this later” as he makes his way to the L’manburg Crater as he searches for Niki to meet with her.
- Niki sends her coords and Techno flies through the rain to the Secret City.
- He speaks with her about how she wasn’t fighting for L’manburg on Doomsday II. He tells her how there’s more to anarchy than violence -- Everyone does violence. Anarchy is distinguished by freedom from hierarchies and rulers.
He says to consider anarchy once she’s past revenge.
- Techno then starts decorating the Syndicate headquarters with warped wood.
- Meanwhile, Tubbo and Jack Manifold have continued to develop Project Dream Catcher.
- Punz comes online, since during the fight with the withers, he lost the Blade of Justice. He sees the Vine growing on his tower and remarks that it’s cool.
- Punz checks his house. There’s a sign left from Tommy that says to check the seventh floor of his tower.
Punz knows about Tommy and Tubbo’s fight. He’s still a spy, after all. Dream’s told Punz all his plans. 
Punz says that they don’t stand a single chance. Dream’s showed him the area that’s been prepared.
Punz thinks Tommy’s going to die.
Punz: “Dream’s a sly guy...I think Tommy might lose his last life. I dunno...they’re going up against an un-winnable battle here. We’ll see though.”
- He goes up to the seventh floor.
There are signs there saying that Tommy’s been suspicious of Punz ever since he said he joined his side, but he’s provided a gift in the hopes that Punz will have his back.
There’s a chest there filled with riches.
35 diamond blocks, 35 gold blocks, Netherite, TNT...
Punz says it’s more money than Dream has ever given him.
- Punz says he has a reason to go against Dream now
Punz: “Wait...I actually have so much influence over the outcome of tomorrow. Do I help Tommy? Do I -- do I betray Dream? Why am I so torn on this?! I’m a mercenary! I do whatever the money tells me to do!
 ...We’ll see. We’ll see.”
- Tubbo tells Ranboo about Project Dream Catcher and Ranboo is very skeptical. He doesn’t tell Tubbo about his meetings with Dream, but tries to convince Tubbo that building nuclear weapons is an extremely bad idea.
- Connor accidentally walks into Pandora’s Vault through a Nether Portal link-up and then wanders back out.
As one does.
- Ranboo continues rebuilding the Community House using Eret’s recreation in the Museum as a reference. 
- Hannah works on her house
---
Upcoming Events:
Tommy and Tubbo’s confrontation with Dream is TOMORROW at around 2pm EST

DSMP Citizens POV- Part 1
I've seen a lot of the memes going around, but I'm not funny enough to write that, so here's my addition to the trend :p
This is part one, because I had a lot of fun with this and want to do it more.
- - -
DSMP Citizen POV Masterlist
- - -
Sometimes, it was odd for the residents of the Dream SMP to be reminded of the fact that the constant state of chaos that their server was in was not, in fact, reflective of every server.
"Why did we move here?" One woman in Snowchester whispers to another as the sirens go off for yet another nuke test and they duck down into their bunker.
The other shrugs. She doesn't have an answer. No one does.
Things started out all right, the people supposed. There weren't any wars, at least. Some of those who lived on the server before the Revolution could remember back far enough to tell you about the first true conflict, between Dream, the creator of their home, and TommyInnit, a sixteen-year-old who could yell shockingly loud, even for a teenager. Dream fought against Tommy and Tubbo (yet another teenager), and it seemed to all be in good fun.
Some will tell you now, though, that the signs of tension were already there, and when Wilbur Soot joined, those tensions only escalated.
One moment, things on the server were normal, the next, there was a Revolution.
"Did anyone else hear Dream shouting about 'white flags' this morning?" One person would ask their friends, and receive nods in return. "Anyone know what it's about?"
"A Revolution," one would respond. "Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit are starting a new country."
"Oh," the first would hum. "How long until they get completely crushed?"
"Eh, I give 'em a week."
It was only a week, but it did not end the way anyone thought it would. Instead, L'Manburg gained its independence after TommyInnit gave up his discs once he lost a duel with Dream.
"Is the L'Manburg cabinet missing someone?"
"No, I don't think so. Anyway, did you hear that Dream just declared that Eret is to be crowned king?"
"...Can he do that?"
"He's Dream. He can do whatever he wants."
After the Revolution, when the server finally had more than one ruling faction, more than one place to live, things seemed to pick up a bit. President Soot, with Vice President Innit (VP Tommy, the people called him), ruled over L'Manburg, and called it a place of freedom. When word spread to other servers, people came to see for themselves.
And often, they stayed.
It was peaceful, for a while.
"President Soot announced he's holding an election," one man said to his wife one day.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Said it was for democracy." The man snorted. "He and Innit are the only party running, though. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me."
"Darling, I know you're still salty about losing the war, but there's no reason to talk bad about a child," his wife said.
The man wrinkled his nose. "Still."
It was peaceful during the campaign.
For a while.
Then, though, Quackity announced that he was running for president, with GeorgeNotFound, best friend of Dream himself, as his running mate.
"This feels like a sitcom," one girl says as she watches the debate reruns with her friends.
"At least it's entertaining," her friend replies, shoving popcorn into his mouth.
And, for the people of the Dream SMP, from both L'Manburg and the Greater SMP, it was entertaining.
Until the election results came in, Schlatt was declared the winner, and President Soot and VP Tommy were banished.
"Dude, dude!" One teen says to their friends, running up to meet them on the Prime Path.
"What is it?"
"I just saw Technoblade join the server!"
The arrival of the Blood God shifted something in the people of the Dream SMP. When he joined Pogtopia, the rebellion being led by the two ex-leaders of the country, the people felt something settle within themselves.
All of a sudden, choosing sides wasn't as simple as where you live.
It was what you care about.
As the son of the ex-president burned down the old flag, the people of the Dream SMP, of (L')Manburg and of the Greater SMP, realized suddenly that they had to make a choice.
Without even wanting to, without doing anything to deserve it, they would have to fight.
Some people went to Pogtopia, some stayed in Manburg, some in the Greater SMP. Those in the latter two stayed where they were because they wanted to stay out of it.
It didn't change anything, in the end.
In Manburg, they watched their president (Emperor) fall further and further into alcohol, yelling at his cabinet and talking of expanding into territory that they had no right to.
In the Greater SMP, murmurs of King Eret's attempts to assist the Pogtopia rebels filled the alleyways.
In Pogtopia, people sat and watched the decline of the man that they had all once believed in. As Wilbur Soot slowly devolved until he was no longer recognizable as the man who had once led people to freedom, the residents of Pogtopia ate potatoes farmed by a man famous for his bloodlust and pretended that they were sleeping somewhere warm.
The day of the Manburg Festival, though, things felt better. Other than ex-president Soot and ex-VP Tommy (Wilbur and Tommy, the two insisted. No one listened), everyone, even the rebels in Pogtopia, were invited to attend. The people wandered through the stalls playing games, watching as Soot's son attempted (in vain) to drown Technoblade, buying food, and chatting with people from other factions, friends and family that they hadn't spoken to in weeks.
When the time came for the speeches, before the true festivities were set to begin, everyone was feeling good about the day. People congratulated Secretary Tubbo for a successful event, and offered him small words of encouragement for his speech coming up. The teenager would grin at all who spoke to him, and looked (rightfully) proud of how well he organized and decorated the festival.
Secretary Tubbo gave his speech, and people clapped, and then fell silent as President (Emperor) Schlatt laughed, asked for his Vice-President's assistance, and encased the teenager in a cage of concrete.
And then he called Technoblade to the stage.
And then, in front of the people of the Dream SMP, a teenager was executed in a spray of color that shot toward the sky.
Fireworks rained down on the people in the stands, then, and, regardless of where they were from, the people of the Dream SMP ran.
The Pogtopia ranks grew that day, and a nineteen-year-old who claimed to be a doctor without showing any credentials forced four other people to help her heal VP Tommy after he fought Technoblade in a pit, egged on by a man who once might have called himself his brother.
"How is this kid not dead yet?" One of the helpers asked, looking at the unconscious teenager's face.
"Pure spite?"
The first hummed. "Sounds about right."
One day, a bit after the festival, the people of Pogtopia woke to find Vice President Quackity walking through the ravine as if he owned the place.
One resident was noted to rub his eyes, blink three times, and then say, "It's too early for this shit," before heading back to bed.
A surprising number of people followed his lead.
Finally, the day of November 16th came, when Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit vowed to take their country back.
"I heard President Soot is planning to blow up L'Manburg," one Pogtopian woman mentioned to her friend as they suited up and prepared to fight, as they had signed up to be part of the forces.
"That's stupid," her friend replied.
"Bet you ten diamonds he blows something up."
"Fine."
As the country of L'Manburg blew sky-high, one woman was seen following another, screaming that she wanted her diamonds.
When Pogtopia won the war, the forces from both sides sat outside of the remains of the van as President Soot, VP Tommy, Secretary Tubbo, Dream, Technoblade, and many more, all piled inside to confront Emperor Schlatt.
They emerged fifteen minutes later, and Dream announced to the crowd that Schlatt was dead.
There was no time for the news to sink in, as they played hot potato with the presidency, going from VP Tommy to Wilbur Soot to Secretary Tubbo.
"President Soot is leaving, do you see that?"
"Probably going to the river to celebrate the win, if you know what I mean."
"Literally shut up. Never speak again. I hate you."
As the newly-inaugurated President Tubbo finished his speech, the people felt a wave of relief wash over them. Maybe the server could finally be peaceful once more.
Then, there was the tell-tale hiss of explosives under their feet, and the people ran as the ground beneath them fell away.
Stories of what happened next are conflicting, to say the least.
Words of President Soot dying in the explosion, of him turning the blade on himself, of another man killing him.
"He had wings," people who saw the man said. "Blonde hair, a green hat and robes. He stabbed Soot with the guy's own sword."
Technoblade apparently gave an incredible speech, and anyone who was there to witness it lamented that they hadn't recorded it.
Then, two Withers flew through the sky, and blood ran down the newly-exposed stones, and people who had never experienced death on the server before finally knew what it was like to die.
Afterward, though, when the anarchist had fled and the ex-President lay dead, President Tubbo, with VP Tommy by his side, stood and addressed the people, and made promises of a brighter future, and the hope and determination in his eyes was enough for the people to hope that maybe he was right.
("Whoa, cool wings, dude," a resident of L'Manburg said to their newest neighbor, a man in green with wings, burned across all the feathers, sprouting from his back. "Wait, what happened to them?"
"Oh, I was protecting my son from the explosion," the new resident replied.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Is your son all right at least?"
"No, he died just a few minutes afterward. His last life, too." The man sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it, he probably deserved it."
A beat. "What did he do?"
"Well, you may have heard of him. Wilbur Soot? He was the president here before Schlatt, I believe."
"...Holy shit, you're the bird man that killed President Soot!"
"Yeah, mate, that's me."
"...He was your son?"
"...Yeah."
"...What the fuck is wrong with your family?")

more info on foolish comparing eret to the sun please
Listen if you look at them from the outside, Foolish fits as the sun. He has the warm personality, the joyfulness, the friendliness and kindness, he lives in a desert. 
But Foolish knows Eret, or at least he used to, and he knows wild, reckless Eret. Eret, whose laughter can lighten up anyone’s mood and put them at ease. Eret, who will jump off high platforms because they have feather falling boots for the joy of it. Eret, who stands tall and proud and watches over her land and her people from their castle. Eret, who makes grand entrances and grander exits and is never afraid to dazzle. Eret, who kills withers in under a minute for decoration and does so laughing, fits the bill just as well as Foolish does, especially in Foolish’s life.
Looking from the outside, Foolish is the sun. But they know each other best, and Eret brightens up Foolish’s days like the very sun he has always enjoyed.
(And in another note, the sun that shines too brightly can kill crops. The sun can be abrasive, can be furious and Eret has done things for their own benefit that hurt others, has shown us that their anger is not to be trifled with.)

*SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND DREAM SMP WAR*
(everything I talk about is from tubbo, wilbur, and technos povs)
SHIT WENT DOWN TODAY LADS, GALS, AND PALS
okay everyone was on today. literally everyone and most of everything that happened before wilbur and tommy got on was just people bouncing from vc to vc, theorising who the traitor was, and last minute plans and loot gathering
tubbo and quackity had a moment before they gathered with techno, fundy, and niki. as they gathered, eret joined them and stated that dream stripped him of his title of king of the smp
they adopted eret into the group as wilbur and tommy joined the server
wilbur and tommy talked for a bit with each other before joining the pogtopia vc as they were yelled at by the same vc to join the call
once they did, chaos from that many people errupted and they moved from their spot to pogtopia over the span of a slow 10 minutes.
techno got tired of it and just yelled at everyone to head to his base under the lake. once they were all assembled in the public part of it, techno activated a secret door to a lower chamber with dozens of fully stocked chests full of weapons, foods, gear, and 5 full pieces of netherite armor
it was actually fucking crazy and everyone was wearing armor, except wilbur. once everyone gathered what they wanted, they returned to the surface where skeppy, bbh, and antfrost were waiting for them. the entire group of wilbur, tommy, tubbo, techno, quackity, fundy, niki, eret, bbh, skeppy, and ant made their way back to manberg
as soon as pogtopia was within range, schlatt and dream opened fire from eret's tower and the war officially started
pogtopia stormed the tower and chaos errupted. I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying but dream and schlatt ender pearled out of the tower towards manberg. idk if karl was actually fighting with dream and schlatt but he died several times but not really anyone else died
during the chaos, dream typed in chat asking to talk to wilbur. after agreeing to it and telling everyone to stand down, dream moved wilbur into a private vc. dream flat out said that schlatt's an idiot and wilbur was like yeah we know what's your point?
dream then says to join the vc with everyone else and after wilbur told everyone to shut up, dream said that they surrendered and led the group of like 15 ppl to the hto van. schlatt was there unarmed and defenseless
schlatt was washed up, drunk, and senile and it was actually really sad seeing the manburg dictator like that in the moment. jumping out of his stupor, schlatt started just punching fundy even though it pointless, he started calling quackity a flatty patty and so on and so forth. tommy eventually stepped in with an arrow loaded into dreams crossbow and pointed it at schlatt. words were exchanged and before tommy could fire the arrow, schlatt fell out of the world.
everyone was shocked but nonetheless, they started celebrating because the war was officially over and manburg was won back. in the celebration, wilbur told everyone to shut up again in order for dream to say that their was no traitor and he had lied about it.
more celebratory shouts and stuff happened, the vc was chaos, and whatever but wilbur told everyone to head to the podium. in doing so, wilbur told tommy to get on the mic as the president elect of manburg.
shocked, tommy took the stage for his first official speech as the president for manburg. tommy said it was a hard won honor to be on that stage back in manburg, and decreed that it was meant to be. he then said that manburg would again be known as l'manburg. everyone celebrated but tommy stopped them and said that he couldn't stay on as president, not until he got his disks back from skeppy. he then named wilbur as president to replace him
after tommy left the podium and wilbur stood in front of everyone, he decreed that the flag that signified schlatt's regime was to be taken down and l'manburg's yellow, red, white, and blue flag be errected once again. more cheers but wilbur stopped these as well and stated that technoblade had taught wilbur a lot and that in doing so, wilbur could no longer trust the government. wilbur conceded as president and named tubbo as president of l'manburg
wilbur left the podium and tubbo replaced him. tubbo have a fantastic speech and stated that they had a lot of work to do to fix up l'manburg but it was finally theirs again. and it was to be a place that everyone on the smp would be welcomed
everyone was finally allowed to cheer now that tubbo was the official president of l'manburg. while everyone was celebrating, wilbur said he'd be right back, exited the vc, and started making his way behind the podium. behind where the white house once stood...
wilbur than began to say chekhov's gun over and over again. he then entered the button room and sat down in the chair, looking at the button
eleven and a half stacks of tnt was rigged to blow under l'manburg and wilbur said that as long as the button was there, he just couldn't not press it
in the middle of wilbur's mental breakdown, the philza minecraft joined the vc and asked wilbur what he was doing. wilbur lied and said that he celebrating in l'manburg and trying to act cool
philza joined the game and spawned in the button room, behind wilbur
philza tried to talk sense into wilbur and tried to have him back away from the button. wilbur fully lost it and said that he was the traitor and had been all along
wilbur pressed the button, turned his back to it, and saluted philza as the tnt exploded and put a massive crater in l'manburg
philza killed wilbur and immediately took off through the crater, leaving wilbur in his madness as he laughed on. wilbur then stated that the traitor was both him and techno and that techno was going to spawn withers on top of the ruins of manburg
true to his word, techno spawned two and it was chaos, everyone was fighting a wither (one was called subscribe to technoblade)
in the chaos wilbur said that he wished the best to tubbo's presidency and that wilbur would be back very, very soon on the smp. he then ended stream and logged off
chaos ensued and tommy and tubbo managed some control after the withers were killed and asked everyone who remained on pogtopia/l'manburg's side to join a vc
techno then started lighting off his own three stacks of tnt on whatever was left of l'manburg. dream and george helped and everyone else who hadn't join the l'manburg vc just pretty much talked amongst themselves casually
in the mean time, dream said that his agreement with wilbur (I guess THE agreement about being a traitor idk) was that no matter what, l'manburg would blow up
I don't know what tommy and l'manburg talked about during this time, I had had to stop watching the streams but this is was happened today and holy fuck
*EDIT*
OKAY watching tubbo's pov and updating as I found out shit from the moment wilbur left to push the button and wtffff
they started taking down the festival decorations and dream said oh yeah no there was a traitor
cue techno immediately launching into an anarchist monologue, killing tubbo, and stating that both him and wilbur are the traitors
techno is now toeing the line of villainy with an amazing analogue and spawned the withers
philza immediately is just like alright, half of my kids are violent anarchists and so I'mma suit up in full netherite and help the other half
also george finally showing up after building a fucking house for two hours on the server
l'manburg is officially tommy, tubbo, quackity, fundy, niki, eret, karl, and philza
TOMMY AND TUBBO MOMENT IT HURTS
CONNOREATSPANTS WTF OOOOHHHHH SHIIIITTTTT and apparently someone other than connor and philza?? if I understood dream right
tubbo and quackity are talking and tubbo wants to clean up l'manburg and rebuild it on stilts and a glass tunnel through it all which is fucking cool
tubbo is president, tommy is vice president, quackity is the secretary of state, fundy is the fourman (makes everything run smoothly), phil is an advisor, and karl is the creative input
NEW L'MANBURG !!
l'manburg is not a government, it is a collective (so as not to have techno completely obliterate them for existing)
l'manburg is supposed to be peaceful and ask for permission from now on
DREAMON HUNTING IS GETTING GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND A DISCORD GROUPCHAT
okay now that's it's holy fuck
*EDIT OF THE EDIT*
IVE BEEN INFORMED THAT CAPTAIN PUFFY IS ALSO WHITELISTED
um yeah shit this was something else today and btw, this is all a bit, it's not real. don't get your panties all in a knot because of people roleplaying in a fucking block game

so uh. me badly explaining the dsmp lore even though i barely know any of it! tw/cw for death, abuse, weapons, drugs, explosives, and me being dumb. anyways. enjoy. please explain the lore <3
first. wilbur wanted to sell ‘drugs’ (potions) and tommy wanted to help
so they started that. then ig it evolved into wanting to start a nation
in which, Tubbo, Fundy, Niki, Thunder/Jack, Eret, and like 2 others joined the nation and helped build it
Wilbur made himself president cause y’know. he founded it. And it was going pretty well! Very good! It was called L’Manburg 
Until Wilbur decided to hold an election,,, in which Schlatt ran with Quackity as his helper. And won. So no more Wilbur or Tommy, they’re exiled from the nation
Tommy and Wilbur form Pogtopia, a place where all the exiled and shunned mfs can go. 
Schlatt fucks shit up and renames L’Manburg to just Manburg. Everything is hell!
Fundy, Niki, and Tubbo are all Manburg traitors and spies. Helping Wilbur and Tommy in exile. 
While in exile, Wilbur plants TNT under Manburg. Cause why not
A festival is held! Tubbo is in charge of everything for the festival. He decorates.
Schlatt invites Tubbo to give a speech about the festival on the night of. T
Tubbo is incased in concrete by Technoblade. 
Schlatt reveals that he knew that Tubbo, Niki, and Fundy were traitors. And does a dumb little monologue. 
He instructs Techno to kill Tubbo. His own brother (more family stuff later) 
Techno is hestitant, but kills Tubbo. 
Tubbo has 2 lives left.
Tommy witnessed Tubbo’s death. 
Wilbur is in his button room. The room with the button that will set off the TNT under Manburg. He is pacing and wondering if he should blow it up. 
Before he can make a decision, Ph1lza shows up. His father
Phil is Techno, Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo’s father. Either by adoption or biological stuff
Fundy is Wilbur’s son and Phil’s grandson
Phil has a second grandson but he doesn’t exist yet
Phil shows up and is like “Don’t do it king” and then Wilbur does. He blows it up. 
Everyone at the scene is singing the L’Manburg anthem (which makes me cry) 
P sure Tommy died cause Dream killed him around this time? Not sure. (2 lives left)
While that’s happening. Wilbur is begging for Phil to kill him. And Phil does. He kills his son
Fratricide and Filicide in one night! fun! 
Manburg is rebuilt and Wilbur gives the presidency to Tommy. Who gives it to Tubbo. (Wilbur gave it to Tommy pre-death I believe)
Tubbo exiles Tommy. 
Tommy is in exile and meets Dream again. Dream is manipulating and abusing Tommy cause he learned from Schlatt, the OG. 
Tommy and Dream meet Mexican Dream. 
Dream kills Mexican Dream. For fun. also cause he didn’t like him
Disc war ig. Idk what happened other than
Tommy like disc
Dream take disc
Dream kill Tommy (1 life left) 
Discs back to Tommy
Manburg is gone ig. No more president. It kinda just exists and people live in it
Tubbo and Ranboo are married! They live in Snowchester. 
Phil and Techno also live in Snowchester 
Ranboo and Tubbo adopt a Zombie Piglin baby! His name is MICHAEL (yes in all caps) and he likes windows :) 
Dream is finally in jail!
Ranboo visits Dream and Dream is like “haha i am you” so Ranboo has a crisis
He left us a message that said “he is in control” so not fun
Puffy visited Dream I think, angst ig. She was (is) his mom idk. 
Tommy visits Dream in jail and gets trapped in the cell with Dream. Tommy is beat to death by Dream. (0 lives left)
Dream revives Tommy with his special revival book just to prove that he has that power. (? lives left) 
Tommy is like dude wtf. Why. and leaves the jail ig. idk
Niki contacts Techno about the Syndicate. 
Fundy and Phil meet MICHAEL and Phil is like “bro this is my favorite grandchild” and Fundy is sad/j 
Niki shows up and is like “hey 😏” and she thinks about it and joins the Syndicate with Techno and Phil. 
They vibe and track and corner Ranboo (literally) and they’re like “hey join our cult./j it makes no more war” and Ranboo’s like ok for MICHAEL and Tubbo. So he joins to protect them
Niki’s codename is Nemesis btw. idk anyone elses.
Phil and Techno take the new recruits to the Syndicate HQ. they vibe in there. The wither is there too and im scared. im p sure Phil is too
Vibe stream! Not lore i just like it. Tubbo and the Syndicate hang out and find a hole in the roof of the Pandora’s Box (prison where Dream is)
Techno meets MICHAEL. idk what happened I didn’t watch the stream :/ 
oooo egg stuff.
basically egg is big brain eating worm thing that is controlling people. they call themselves the Eggpire
Eggpire members
Bad
Ant
Ponk
Sam (double agent) 
Purpled 
Punz 
Puffy (formerly) 
Quackity meets up with Bad on top of a building and literally threatens and made fun of a 9 foot tall demon. they argue about the egg.
it cuts to Quackity farming w cows and then BAM. chest. he opens it and finds a book
book reads
FUCK YOU x100
anyways hey babey you had the fattest ass in my cabinet ahaha *bites lip* anyways follow the railroad track and we’ll- 
so Schlatt wrote the book. Alex follows the railroad. it led to a weird cave-gym thing where Schlatt is vibing. He lives there
He talks about how only ghosts have ever visited him
Ghosts that visited him
Tommy (once)
Wilbur 
Mexican Dream 
And he talks about how he hates British people and how he wants Dream’s revival book to come alive again cause haha wouldn’t that be fun
Alex is like “ok sure but let’s make a deal. i’ll get the book. if you join my gambling empire :)” 
Then it cuts again to Quackity talking to Sam (Pandora’s Box Warden) and he’s like “Dream. location :)” and Sam’s like “you sure king” and Alex is like “yes <3″ so he finds Dream
And then fucking beats the ever loving shit out of him. So Dream is essentially getting a taste of his own medicine but physical. 
When Alex is done he’s like “oh this will happen often so get used to the abuse <3″ so yeah Alex is taking advantage of Dream
george is seeping. 
That’s all I know. HUGE thanks to my friend Katie for giving me the info on Alex and Schlatt’s revival arc!!!

please for the love of all fuck explain mcyt to me
Omg I've been waiting for this
So mcyt means minecraft youtube, but usually also includes Twitch streamers. It's like a in general thing, and not pointing to anything specific
But since you sound so confused, I'm gonna explain to you the Dream SMP lore 'cause why not
TL;DR: Chaos and war, basically also like a hamilton, heathers, and les mis crossover (but i mean if you want to understand everything you should read.)
If theres spelling mistakes, sorry
Note: Everyone on the smp has three canon lives, and when you loose all three you're canonically dead (except philza minecraft. he has one canon life bc hes known as the hardcore guy bc he had a minecraft hardcore series for 6 years until he was killed by a spider while trying to fight a baby zombie lmaoooooo)
IMPORTANT: THIS IS ALL RP. IRL THEY’RE ALL FRIENDS. THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PLAYER AND THE CHARACTER. THE RELATIONSHIPS AREN’T ACTUALLY TOGETHER IRL. ITS ALL THEIR CHARACTERS THAT THEY MADE UP. (obviously the best friends stuff are irl)
In the beginning there were 8: The Dream Team (Dream, Georgenotfound [the guy in my pfp btw :)] , Sapnap), Badboyhalo, Awesamdude, Ponk, Callahan, and Alyssa. Around this time, nothing much happened since it was all brand new, uhh yeah (this was around may-july of this year)
Then around late july new members joined: Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Wilbur Soot, Eret, Skeppy, Fundy, Punz, Purpled, and Schlatt. This part is very important to the lore, because the lore kinda started off with the british (so tommy, tubbo, wilbur, eret) Schlatt was banned, cause Sapnap was the one who invited him and Dream didn't know who he was. He'll come up later.
So Wilbur and Tommy decided to create a new nation called "L'Manberg". Also around this time (i think) Nihachu and Jack Manifold joined. They also were part of L'Manberg. There was this huge revolution between Dream Smp and L'Manberg. Very historical period on this smp. In the end, (i think it was?) L'Manberg who won (if memory serves).
After that, L'Manberg had started growing bigger, with a lot more buildings added and stuff, notably Church Prime, which where they created a religion for Twitch Prime, which is how you can sub to your favorite twitch streamer for free if you link your amazon prime account. I'm pretty sure around this time, Quackity, Karl Jacobs (if you watch Mr. Beast; yes, that karl jacobs), HBomb, Technoblade, and Antfrost joined. And then the railway war started. It happened when Tommy accidentally ran over Dream with a Minecart and then took his stuff. This is how the disc war started (once again, if memory serves). The two discs Tommy owns are his prized possesions, and Dream took them. Also around this time the Pet War started, with Sapnap killing someones(i forgot oops) pet. And then more pet killing. Annnnd then even more.
Then there was the L'Manberg eletion. There was POG2020, who was Wilbur and Tommy, SWAG2020, Quackity and George, Coconut2020, Fundy and Nihachu, and Schlatt2020 which was Schlatt. Oh yeah and he got unbanned btw
SWAG2020 and Schlatt2020 decided to combine their votes, thus Shclatt became president and Quackity his vp. Oh and ever since the election Quackity has this grudge against George bc he slept through the election. Schlatt renamed L'Manberg to Manberg, and exiled Tommy and Wilbur from it.
Schlatt is a evil dictator who likes power. He and Quackity started fighting, and so Quackity became part of Tommy and Wilbur's side. Around this time was The Battle of the Lake and The Burning Eiffel Tower, both part of the pet war. (It seems like a innocent war but its actually brutal lmao) Also (irl) Mr. Beast had a $10,000 Taco Bell gift card hunt. Eret won. It was at the cords 6969,420, because haha funny number haha weed number. This has nothing to do with the lore but yeah. Eret also became King of the SMP 
Then there was the Manberg festival. It was to celebrate democracy, but Tubbo puts it as "i decorated my own execution" bc he helped decorate it, but he was murdered there. At the festival was the Manberg Massicare, where Technoblade was forced to shoot tubbo, but he released a firework rocket kiling Tubbo, Schlatt, Quackity, and a few others. Many people lost one of their canon lives. Wilbur went all J.D like and planted 11 stacks of TNT underneath Manberg, and wanted to blow it up.
Pogtopia was formed, which is a ravine which i think is underneath? manberg? Which included basically everybody who wasn't neutral or with schlatt. On November 16 was the Manberg VS Pogtopia war, but the Badlands were also there. The Badlands is a nation of four people: Bbh, Skeppy, Awesamdude, and Antfrost. They faught with the loosing side, so the chaos could continue. Eret disobeyed Dream and got stripped of his royalty, and gave it to George. Oh and during this time, George had no idea there was a war and was building a cottagecore mushroom house with callahan and was very confused with all the death messages in the chat. Schlatt died canonically of a heart attack or stroke (no one knows tbh). Tommy became president, passed it to wilbur bc he still has unfinished buissness with dream (the discs), and wilbur passed it to Tubbo, who made Tommy his vp. Technoblade then argued about how government is bad, and they're just repeating history. Philza Minecraft joined the server, but no one could find him, until Wilbur blew up L'Manberg (they rechanged the name also). Wilbur then made Philza kill him, so Wilbur also became canonically dead. Then Techno, still mad at L'Manberg and governments, summoned two withers and made it attack the others. The Geogre decided to check out what was happening and helped fight. After the chaos, Captain Puffy and ConnorEatsPants joined the smp. About one to two weeks later Vikkstar and LazarBeam joined, then about three months after that Ranboo joined.
They rebuilt L'Manberg on stilts, and there water where the explosion was, but now with coral and stuff to make it all pretty. Tommy and Ranboo decided to go steal from Georges mushroom house, but then also griefed it and burnt it, and Dream, being a George simp, built obsidian walls around L'Manberg. They took Tommy to court, and was put on probation. Then Tommy got exiled (again) but this time by his own best friend. This made Quackity vp and Fundy secutary of state. Dream also took Georges king thing and gave it back to Eret because Eret has a good relationship with everybody, whereas George being King just caused chaos cause hes close to Dream. Quackity and Karl made Mexican L'Manberg, and George and Sapnap joined in also. War against Dream SMP, it was a negotiation and it got renamed into El Rapids (reference to Chilling in Cedar Rapids, which Hilary Clinton once said, and Quackity referenced it, got it trending #1 one twitter (well i mean dsmp gets things trending like everyday but), and got DONALD TRUMP TO SUBTWEET HIM. (This happened irl)
In his exile, Ghostbur (wilbur as ghost) and Tommy made Logstedshire, and Dream was often there to watch him. Dream then blew it up, and now Tommy is living with Techno in his arctic place. Currently, Quackity made a thing called The Butcher Army, so they could execute Techno. Tubbo, Quackity, Fundy, and I also think Ranboo? are trying to get another festival, and yes its a secret execution plan, but for them to kill Dream, who they realized is who they need to kill first. The disc war is still not over. Tommy has one of his discs, but Skeppy is in possesion of the other one.
Unluckily for Tommy (reguarding the discs), something happened in the Badlands. Bbh was digging out his underground statue room (he plans to make a statue of everyone of the server) and found this crimson egg. He, Antfrost, and Captain Puffy kinda got possesed. Also since Skeppy didn't really hang out on the server at night, but bbh does (OF FUCK I FORGOT TO MENTION HE AND BBH ARE BEST FRIENDS) Captain Puffy created Discount Skeppy, which is her in a Skeppy skin. Skeppy found out, had a little conflict with her during her stream, but it was resolved, and at one point in the stream, he asked bbh to choose between him and the egg, and when bbh didn't answer, he went to the egg, put himself inside it, and logged off. Couple days later, bbh and puffy got him out, hes now possed by the crimson, called Technoblade his "best friend" infront of bbh, and is now living in a grass hut. Bad is convinced theres still some skeppt left, but yeah. Skeppy also wanted to burn the disc.
End of lore for now, bc its like if you miss ONE STREAM YOU MISS LIKE A REALLY IMPORTANT EVENT AND ITS STRESSFUL
Not much part of lore but Nihachu and Captain Puffy once went on a date. They’re both bi irl and Puffy was on Nihachu’s Love or Host (twitch dating show. its really entertaining) Captain Puffy was a contestant, and chose love. (LoH is also how Nihachu and Wilbur met.) 
Funfact: Theres 5 irl lgbtq+ ppl on the server (people who came out, anyways cause you never know, ya know?) Antfrost is gay, Eret, Nihachu, Captain Puffy are all bi, and Karl Jacobs is ace spec 
Family stuff: Philza Minecraft (he'll come up later) had two twins with a Samsung Smart Refrigerator in the 70's. The two twins being Wilbur and Technoblade (he'll come up later also) and also had another son, Tommy. They also adopted Tubbo, who they found in a box on the side of the road. When he grew up, Wilbur met Sally the Salmon, and they had a fox together (dont ask just go with it), which was Fundy. (The character) Fundy is trans, and yeah . Bbh is a dad to sapnap and yeah
Oh and a new member is coming on today on Quackity’s stream (twitch.tv/quackityhq at 5pm CST if you want to watch) 
I left out some parts, sorry, but theres always the wiki...
Wilbur Soot is also a musician! He wrote I’m In Love With an Egirl, The Internet Ruined Me, and Your New Boyfriend. (did you know the last one beat taylor swift for #1 trending on youtube? idk why but im really proud of him for that) They’re all catJam’s. Go listen!

So Eret wanted to make a difference as a ruler. He wanted to help people, get shit done. But then he realizes that he’s just a figurehead, a puppet for people to blame for all the decisions Dream was actually the one making.
So he says he’s leaving. He throws his crown at Dream and finally tells him where he can shove it.
But Dream just smiles at him, “Did you really think that I would just let you go?”
Then Eret is surrounded by guards and they drag him off to his room and lock him in there. A pretty bird in a golden page.
So he sets out on destroying his cage. He takes a decorative sword to the curtains, the bedposts, desk, walls; anything he can do damage to. He uses a chunk of flint at the bottom of a chest to spark a fire on the sword’s blade and burns all the capes and finery he can get his hands on.
Until all he has left it a couple white shirts and black pants. He only hesitated a little when he throws the red fur trimmed cape into the flames.
By the time the guards see the smoke seeping from under the door, Eret has climbed down from the balcony and is sprinting through the courtyard.
He doesn’t get far. Eret gets tackled before he makes it halfway to the castle gates.
He wakes up in a room with bare walls and all the furniture nailed to the floor.
Back in the golden cage.
-
He makes speeches and smiles at the people with a knife pressed to his side . Every attempt to escape or even think about alerting anyone to the true nature of his position is met with bruises that can be hidden under clothes and threats to his life. The more he cooperates the more often he gets fed so he learns to be the puppet that he is.
As a reward for his good behavior, Dream gifts Eret new crowns and clothes and the privilege of talking to someone who isn’t a guard.
-
Everything changes when L’Manberg explodes and withers are set loose upon the land. Eret wished the same would happen to the rest of the SMP. He wanted to watch this stupid fucking castle burn to the ground with Dream inside it and stand in the ashes
That’s when Technoblade starts hanging around. He’s apparently one of Dream’s allies since he helped with the destruction of one of the greatest thorns in his side.
But Dream never let him get anywhere near Eret. Probably because of his propensity for slaughtering heads of state. Eret almost wished he would so he could be put out of his misery.
Every once in a while he and his entourage of guards would pass Technoblade and Dream arguing, sometimes goodnaturedly, sometimes on the verge of violence.
He didn’t think he imagined the way the self proclaimed Blood God’s eyes lingered on him, gaze unreadable.
It’s been almost a month since Technoblade started hanging around the castle when he’s finally left alone with him.
Dream runs off during a dinner with the three of them. Eret, as usual, hadn’t said a word throughout the whole thing. He never talked around anyone but Dream.
If he ever told them the truth, then the green bastard would just kill them. So what was the point of talking?
“Soooooo” Technoblade drawled, “How’s being the buddy of a tyrant going?”
Eret jolted when the guy addressed him directly, no one talked to him anymore. But he stayed silent. He’d heard it all. The people he met at the lavish balls and events he was forced to attend usually didn’t mince words.
They told him exactly what they thought about him and his supposed servitude to Dream.
“No comeback? No pretty speech? Aren’t you supposed to be a valiant leader?”
Eret snorted and looked up, meeting his eyes for the first time.
“What? Is something funny?”
“We both know how powerless I am. I’m sure Dream’s told you all about my escape attempts.”
Dream had no doubt bragged to his newfound friend and ally about how he had a lovely little king all locked up and compliant.
“Escape attempts? What, does he have you locked up in here?”
Eret just stared at him, blank faced. He had thought that Dream had told him everything but now he wasn’t so sure.
The joking grin fell off the warrior’s face.
“I’ve said too much.” Eret stood abruptly, “He might kill you if he finds out that you know. And I don’t want anymore blood on my hands.
“Guards! I want to go back to my room.”
“Wait-“
Eret leaves escorted by the ever present guards before Technoblade can get out more than a word.
Technoblade tries to talk to him after that, cornering him in hallways and rooms, but Eret refuses to talk to him. Dream didn’t like it when Eret talked to other people too much. Even those he saw as allies.
Eventually, Technoblade leaves the castle; off to do whatever he does when he’s not breathing down Eret’s neck. Things go back to normal.
Sort of.
It’s like talking about his imprisonment renewed a fire in him that hadn’t been lit in over a year. Slowly, Eret starts gathering things, a needle here, a decorative dagger there, until he has enough supplies to get him to the border of the kingdom. All of it safely tucked away in a whole he had cut in the bottom of his mattress.
He even snatches a shirt and some pants from an unfortunate servant who he felt a little guilty listening to searching frantically for their stuff.
-
Eret’s smarter this time. He doesn’t break a window or cause a ruckus. He dons the servant’s clothes and wears a brown cloak with a hood when he calls his only guard into his room and strangles him with a scarf.
Sucking up to Dream over the past couple weeks had paid off so there was only the one.
He’s just walked out the gates when the alarms are sounded and the guards shit them behind him. No one give him a second look. After all, what kind of king wears a commoners clothes?
-
Eret creeps out of the city in the cover of night and sets out on getting as far away as he can from the SMP. He gives L’Manberg a wide berth, they would probably turn him right back over to Dream.
By the third night of traveling, Eret is exhausted and in a snow biome. He hasn’t slept in days and he only has the threadbare cloak that he stole for warmth.
He can just barely see lights of a cabin of sorts ahead of him when he finally collapses from the cold and exhaustion.

more dream smp skin symbolism
I can go on and on about this, and so I will! I’ve already talked about how Tommy, Sam, Dream, and Quackity have skins that highlight who they are, especially in the prison. But it’s not just them that have this, it’s almost everyone in the SMP!
Some characters have stayed fully human throughout the SMP, never gaining wings or scars or anything that was permanent, like Tommy or Tubbo, or even Niki, really. There are others too! (Tubbo really was just hurt emotionally, he stayed human even though he made bad choices, and never really went too far[I’m counting Ghostbur as a human even though he was see-through because it’s Ghostbur. His skin is a ghost.]) And some characters have inhuman traits like wings (this is only Phil but y’know) or horns, or they just don’t have any human attributes on them except for their faces.
And some just have glasses that hide their faces, or roses that change color. Or a mask!
Niki- You might call me out, saying that ‘Niki wanted to murder Tommy with Jack and has no inhuman traits, so your idea is flawed!’ but Niki got over it. Niki is baking again, Jack burned his house down. Niki may not be Tommy, but she’s never gained horns or covered her face.
Jack- Jack has his headset and that comes with glasses, and that hides his eyes. That’s what makes him inhuman to me, and we never see his eyes. He’s always hidden from everyone, even slightly, and he’s not human. His response to Tommy’s death is great and very human, celebrating and then realizing it really wasn’t what he wanted-but then again, he still clawed his way back from hell through pure spite and anger. That is not human.
Eret- Eret has glasses as well, hiding their face, and that plays well into the ‘never meant to be’ bit, but might not work in the long run, but it still does! Eret is still lost in the past, really, trying to make up for it. He’s built a museum and wrote books upon books and apologized so many times, but the glasses are her way of keeping the betrayal with them, always reminding them of the fact. They aren’t human, they’re still trying to make up for battles long gone through keeping the past from being long-gone, and such they are the past.
Hannah- Hannah definitely isn’t human, the roses on her arms changing colors and being attached to her being the main reasons why, though there is still some symbolism even with that. With the Egg, Hannah tried to fix the egg with roses, taking stacks and stacks with her. She tried to give them to it, and was trapped in a hole. The symbolism here is that Hannah uses nature to fix her problems, and fixes the nature that’s wrong (fixing the server!!) and adds to it in ways that pleases her (all the red roses). She tries to fix everything with them, and when they all turn against her she goes with them into the Egg’s control.
Badboyhalo- The devil skin is a bit literal, considering the events of the Egg, but it still works before that too! Bad’s always been the ‘devil’ to Tommy and maybe Quackity I guess, shouting at them when they curse and never playing into some bits. But when the Egg takes control, the red accents on his skin turn white, and that shows that he feels like he’s doing the right thing, that it’s all to help Skeppy, but the devil skin shows that’s it’s not, and he’s the real devil here.
Skeppy- Speaking of Skeppy, he’s always been just a diamond with a derpy face, and that sums up everything that Skeppy did before the Egg perfectly. He’s bright and pretty sharp, in some ways, but but still hilarious and comedic to a fault. Diamond with a derpy face. But then the egg came along, and one, changed his skin from blue to red, and two, got rid of the highlights that made the diamond itself pop. There’s much, much more red on him that any of the server members, Ant, Ponk, and Punz just getting red eyes, and Bad having none at all, the red on him turning white. It makes sense for Skeppy, the one with the most red, to be the most under the Egg’s control, and for Bad, who has no red, to be angry at Skeppy, later, for spending so much time with it. But the highlight removal made Skeppy look just like the Egg. Made him pretty much just fade into it, become one with it. The derpy face is still there, though, symbolizing Bad’s hope for the blue Skeppy to come back, though the rest of Skeppy seems to symbolize the opposite.
Technoblade- Techno has always been an anarchist in royals garb, and throughout everything on the server it shows that he has one goal (anarchy) and he will do everything to get it, even be used as a tool and ‘just as the blade’ (the Red Banquet) (also being in royals garb). He’s inhuman because though he has had character development, from mocking Quackity at his execution setup even though it was, like, his execution setup, to complimenting Sam on the prison, even though he knew it was a trap. Even though he claims to be closed off, he’s become such great friends with Ranboo and cares too much about Carl and his wolves than he says he does. He calls Dream a sentimentalist, but even though he knew he would be getting out of the prison, he still gave hope to Dream by means of the toilet. That shows another part of his inhuman-ness. He’s a pig. Pigs are friendly, sensitive, and intelligent, according to Google, and this fits Techno well. He tries to give hope to Dream, was friends with Tommy, is friends with Phil, Ranboo, and Niki, and that goes into the next bit. Sensitive. Technoblade is very sensitive to being used just as the blade, and it goes vice versa as well. He was genuinely touched when the Syndicate through him a birthday party and Ranboo gave him the new axe to replace his last one. He’s also very intelligent, using a Totem to get out of death and collecting mass amounts of withers ‘just for decoration...for now’.
Ranboo- Ranboo is pretty easy, like c’mon. Enderwalk and Ranboo, the white side and the black side. Easy. BUT WAIT. THERE’S MORE. The white side is more commonly as the friendly side (even though enderwalk is just Ranboo with different motivations) and yet the white side has a red eye, a color that literally gets people riled up. It shows that even when Ranboo is not in Enderwalk, he’s not happy-go-lucky. There’s something dangerous with him, and Wilbur picked up on this! He didn’t want to talk to Ranboo, comparing him to ‘the weird neighbor kid’ who ‘had something in his basement’ and was ‘going to put a spatula right through my skull!’. There’s something off about Ranboo even when he’s not Enderwalking, and that’s shown by his red eye and what people like to refer to as tear scars on that side of his face (even though the enderman side would be the one burned by it) But speaking of Enderwalk, the black side has a green eye, Tubbo’s color, and the color that is used as friendship a lot. It shows that, for Ranboo, Enderwalk isn’t some evil being, he isn’t plotting to kill people, he might be meeting with Dream, but so was Techno! And he’s not inherently evil. And Wilbur adores Dream! And Ranboo stated that he wasn’t inherently evil. Enderwalk is just Ranboo with different motivations. He was Enderwalking through the whole Disc War finale, holding his fourth book, but made no move to help Dream-but he made no move to help Tommy and Tubbo. (Enderchest was also in Dream’s possession vault, so Ranboo obviously wasn’t fully trustworthy to Dream) He stared up at Dream as he rose to go to prison, but that was it. And Enderwalk Ranboo was also at the Banquet! He was holding an axe at some point (maybe when the lava came down, I can’t remember) but he never interfered. He was just up on the balcony. Ranboo wouldn’t interfere either, he’d be to scared too, he’s a people pleaser. Techno, Quackity, and Purpled aren’t. Enderwalk isn’t Ranboo in what he does, as Ranboo doesn’t really remember it, but they are the same in their reasonings and how and when they would do something.
Phil- Phil had wings in the first moments when he joined the server, and then protected Wilbur with them and so they were damaged. Phil had a very warped idea of what had gone on before he came through Wilburs lies, and I feel his inhuman-ness spans from that, and the fact the he kept that warped idea and went too far with it. He thought that Wilbur didn’t want L’manburg to exist, because he thought that Wilbur won the election, and so even after he was dead, and after the whole Butcher Army, Phil’s instinct (as well as Techno’s) was to just blow it up, get rid of it, because that was what his son wanted and it would send a message to the people. He said himself, to Jack, that he started blowing up countries when he was forced to kill his own son, but he could have stepped away there, because Wilbur really wasn’t the constant in the situation. Wilbur hadn’t chosen to blow up the country because he didn’t like it anymore, he was going to blow it up because Schlatt ruined it for him, and that Phil didn’t understand. That’s why he’s inhuman, since he chose to kill Wilbur, he wasn’t forced. Phil’s gone against peer pressure and orders before when he saw that they were wrong, and that was also by a relative, Fundy. He loopholed his way out of house arrest, he could have jumped away from Wilbur, or just put him in stone so he wouldn’t die. He’s inhuman because he made choices that were because of events that didn’t exist, because he was living in an alternate world, really.
Wilbur- Wilbur doesn’t have inhuman features. A clear face, no scars, and a beanie. His jacket and morals have rotted in the dark, but he’s still pretty human, though his opinions on Dream and L’manburg change every second. The white streak in his hair is supposed to represent stress, I think, and well, it’s Wilbur. He made a fancy revolutionary outfit and never washed it once, because he was too devoted to L’manburg to let go of it, or anything connected to it, for a single second. Then came Pogtopia, where he ditched everything in favor of clothes that blended in with the cave walls. He insulted the revolutionary outfit, and kept the trench coat until he died. Then, Revivebur had the bandage across his arm because he ran to the train too fast, showing how desperate Wilbur was to get out from death. He’s changed so much, and his changes are real, unlike Dream’s, as Dream has kept the same skin, but Wilbur hasn’t. He’s changed physically, and has gotten more and more torn outfits every time.
Ponk- He has a face mask that hides everything but his eyes, and I feel that shows his way of making sure you never know if he’s joking about something or not. He joked about how much time Sam spent with him, even though Sam hated the egg, and still tried to keep a keycard even after Sam was going to chop of his arm (and did so) for them. He has a chaotic nature to everyone, trying to prank Foolish right now and wearing red contacts only so the Eggpire would leave him alone. He made a Road Trip joke as his toast at the Banquet, and it was totally in character! His mouth being hidden makes it so that he can be joking and you’ll never see it coming.
Schlatt- The-the guy has horns. He’s a goat. Loud, (the EMPEROR of the GREAT NATION) cross eyed, (Schlatt is drunk for his introduction and his death, he is totally cross eyed). I’ve also seen people put him down as a ram, and that reckless ‘they want me to get them president, I’ll be my OWN president!’ and then tearing down the walls, executing Wilbur and Tommy, things that were so surprising and came out of nowhere they just about-they jus-they just rammed into us head on! He’s inhuman because he wants to be powerful (the BIg Man Gym) and wants to use the people around him to show his power, and is so reliant on them that he has no power at all.
Fundy- He’s a fox, and ha been compared as a ‘backbiter’ and ‘foxheart’ many times, and while those are viable ways to go, other parts on his skin, earlier, show some other things. In L’manburg, Fundy was the only person who had a different outfit from the others (at that time) and didn’t get any position in L’manburg at the end of the war, just being called Wilbur’s ‘little champion’. He had a crayon suit, and wasn’t respected by Wilbur at all, and when Schlatt came along and finally seemed to recognize him as someone who was valuable, Fundy shed the revolutionary garb quick, burning and building and leaving Niki quick as well. He might not be constantly switching his skin, like Wilbur, but after L’maburg he never was on aside for long enough to get a uniform other than L’manburg, his regular skin, and the aprons for the Butcher Army. He’s a fox that switches boat, and that makes him inhuman because everyone else is firmly on a side, against sides as a whole, or the thing everyone hates and is on his own side (Which is Dream).
Karl- Karl is very human, as he has a funky sweater and a normal human skin. But that skin changes when he gets back from time travelling, and when he is in the Tales. He’s like a chameleon, his skin fitting the environment in the Tales and the Inbetween, but the important bit is that when he gets back to the present he’s a very bright, multicolored blob. In the Inbetween he has an all white skin, in the Other Side it’s all black, and in the Masquerade specifically he kept to blues and purples, I think, as those were the colors his mask was. Him being a chameleon in the Tales also fits well with how he just fits right into the story, like an added fisherman, or a cameraman, or just another guest-the only ones he doesn’t fit in with are the ones that are closely tied with the real present. The Haunted mansion had Connor and Glatt in it, and Karl really just interrupted their fun. In The City That Went Mad, Karl was the narrator, and The City That Went Mad has been mentioned SO many times, Quackity being a descended from Helga and Ponk being descended from Jack the potato farmer. In the present, Karl stayed with Schlatt through the Pogtopia era after being the judge of the debate, and I have no idea why other than because he didn’t know what to do.
Purpled- Purpled is pretty much implied to be an alien, but for all skin measures he looks perfectly human, ignoring that everything he wears, and his eye color, is purple. I like Purpled, and the fact that he switched sides the same way Punz did, and used almost the same words Punz did, but he’s still so much different and more human? In a way? Than Punz, in how he reacts to being called a hero by Foolish, or joining Pogtopia the second he was going to be killed, since Manburg didn’t line up to his ideals anyways. Purpled isn’t the hero, he’s really just a background character for most of the lore, coming up a couple of times, but he’s not really too important, and he and Quackity know this, Quackity used it against him to try and get him to join Las Nevadas! He tries his best to be a hero and always falls short, not being able to save Foolish, having to join Las Nevadas, and that’s what makes him inhuman, because he’s trying. He tries his best to be the good guy, unlike Tommy, really, right now. Tommy knew breaking into the prison to kill Dream wasn’t the right thing to do, he said it himself! Tommy said he didn’t want to be a hero in response to Techno, but he’s still the protagonist. Purpled is trying, and we’re starting now to see that in full, and see how inhuman he really is because it’s not paying off.
Punz- Punz is like Purpled, until he’s not. He was hired to Manburg to fight for Schlatt and he did! He did fight for Schlatt, and had no qualms with it. He betrayed Dream to help Tommy and Tubbo, and then joined the Egg. He’s not the most human character, despite looking it, and he’s quite inhuman in the fact that he’s never been the hero. He was bribed by Tommy to help give him pearls and blaze rods in the first disc skirmish, and now was bribed to save them from Dream one last time! Punz wouldn’t do that if Tommy hadn’t given him money, he would have stayed neutral, and I feel that shows his inhuman-ness.
I’ll be doing Puffy, Connor, Calahan (maybe), Alyssa (maybe), Antfrost, and others as well as some more analyses soon!

you left me in this broken world
Fandom: Dream SMP
Word count: 2317
Please remember that this fanfic is about the characters of the SMP, it is not about the content creators and should not be interpreted as suh. There are no romantic relationships in this fanfic because 1. I don't know if the ccs are comfortable with that and 2. I wrote this about their character's friendship.
-----
It was awkward when they first met. At least, for her it was. Will never had issues with meeting new people, he'd just be talking and talking until eventually the person in question talked back.
Maybe it was the way Phil raised him, or maybe he was just born like that. It didn't matter to Niki, because her friend would always smile.
That was something she never seemed to grow tired off. Not back when they first met, not now, not ever.
Things were easier back then, though. Will would sing for her, and they'd dance and laugh their sorrows away.
They'd lost that, somewhere along the way, and she longs to get it back.
They've been through everything together, been through fire and rain for the other. Perhaps it's why she can't handle being away from Will, from the person she considers her brother.
It's not as if she doesn't want him to have this, to create a home for himself, to be free from the voices haunting him in his sleep.
"You deserve the world, Niki."
She remembers watching him softly play a beautiful tune, remembers him warming her frozen fingers, remembers that those hands were not made for war.
"So do you."
-----
They reunite, eventually. She joins the SMP and jumps into Will's arms the moment she sees him. There's a faint smell of battle lingering in his hair, but that doesn't matter, because at least he's still here.
It's fun, walking around L'Manberg with Tommy excitedly telling her the story behind every building.
She understands why Will thinks of him as his little brother, because while Tommy may be annoying, it's endearing to watch him flounder around.
It doesn't calm the raging storm in her, because Tommy's a child, and he just fought in a war, fought for everything he believed in, and he'd died for it.
He'd died for a home.
And Niki will do anything to give her friends one. It doesn't matter if she's known them for years or just met them, they all deserve a place to be happy.
L'Manberg is her everything. It's a place she can annoy Will, can ruffle Tommy's hair, can pass Tubbo a smile, can joke around with Fundy, and can talk for hours on end with Eret, because even they deserve a friend.
Everyone deserves a friend.
-----
Her home is gone the second Schlatt took place on the podium. She's seen bad people before, seen their smirks, the hunger in their eyes, their desire to get what they want.
She's never seen it directed at Will. Everyone loved the boy who played music at the park, who smiled at every person he came across, if only to make their day a tiny bit better. She's never met anyone who looked at him like he needed to be destroyed.
Her hope is gone the second Schlatt banishes her friend. She's seen Will scared before, seen him at his lowest point, but nothing could prepare her for this.
This is Will's home, he fought tooth and nail for it, fought with everything he had. And now it's gone. Her friend loses it all in just a split second, and she can't help but cry his tears.
L'Manberg is gone the second its flag burns. This isn't what L'Manberg was meant to be, was meant to become. This is corruption, and if there's one thing Niki refuses to let happen, it's her friends losing themselves because of it.
-----
There are times when she feels like it's better this way, like Schlatt is a better leader than Will ever could be. Manburg is thriving, and nothing too bad seems to have happened.
But then she hears Quackity scream at Schlatt, and she sees the bottles of alcohol scattered across the white house. She spots Tubbo sneaking away, hands shaking with fear. She sees the hardened eyes of Fundy as he looks at the flag.
She sees herself, sitting at the L'Mantree, looking at where the walls used to be. This is their tree. Except it isn't really theirs anymore, is it?
There were times when they'd come to the tree when she'd listen to Will rant about governing, when Will would sing her a song after a nightmare and she'd finally be able to rest. But Will is gone now, and she's all alone again.
She wants it back. She wants her friend back.
-----
People always tell her she's too kind for her own good, that she wouldn't see an absolute asshole if they'd be standing right in front of her.
But it's not that she doesn't see it, or purposely ignores it. Even the most hated people can have a heart.
The citizens of L'Manberg hate Eret, warned her for the king, but she didn't listen.
Because she knows that deep down, Eret still has loyalty, still has something to fight for, still has a heart.
Even the worst people can be saved. That's what she always thought. But not now, as she stands in front of Schlatt and all she sees is rotten.
Schlatt doesn't deserve her kindness. Not after everything he'd done to her, to everyone. The first punch was one of anger, the second one of hatred, the third one of sadness, and by the fourth one she's lost it.
She's crying and punching and she doesn't even notice when her punches only hit air, when she's dragged away and all that is left are tears as she stares at the bars of her jail cell.
-----
Nothing has ever mattered more to her than this. Not when Tubbo is covered in burn scars, when Tommy is no longer bouncing around, when Quackity is silently standing in a corner, and Fundy looks at her like he doesn't know if it was worth it.
She doesn't either. Will has lost it, he wears insanity in his eyes and once she thought she could fix that, could convince him that it was going to be fine.
But she can't, can she? She hadn't missed his coldness towards Tommy, his not caring about Tubbo, his distrust of Fundy. Even Technoblade was worried about him, even Technoblade thought he was too far gone.
Nothing has ever mattered more to her than this, because maybe getting L'Manberg back will get her her brother back, will save him from whatever is destroying him.
-----
They won. L'Manberg is back in their hands and there's still hope. They can make this place a home again.
And so they remove the decorations, remove everything that has something to do with Manburg, with that vile memory.
She's the first to spot the TNT. No one else noticed, and she doesn't want them to. They're finally laughing and she doesn't want to ruin that. So she covers it up, she pretends like it isn't there because they're safe, right?
Until Technoblade breaks. And then so does Tommy, and Tubbo, and all of her friends. They all break.
And so does she, once she realises Will isn't there, because that can only mean one thing. She wasn't able to save him.
-----
She knows Will was gone long before, knows this is probably what he wanted, but she can't help her aching heart the second Phil puts his sword through her friend's chest.
She loved her brother more than anything in the world, and now he's gone. Killed by his own father, by one of the few people that knew how much he was actually hurting.
There's a scream on her lips, and she doesn't care if it gets out, because Will was the one person that had always been there for her, that promised to never leave her. And now he's dead. He's gone and he's not coming back and that scares her.
So she screams and she cries it all out, she doesn't fight the withers, doesn't care if they'll kill her.
Her throat aches and her eyes burn, and it's all Phil's fault. He's the one who did this to her, the one who took her home.
And she screams a little louder.
-----
She finds herself sitting at the L'Mantree again, reminiscing about a past time. Back when Will was still in charge, and they'd be looking at their country, and everything would be okay.
Back when Will would lend her an old coat of his to keep her warm. Now she stole the coat herself, she'd grabbed it from his body, had ruffled his hair one last time, and ran away with tears in her eyes.
She doesn't care that the coat is covered in blood, because it still smells like Will, and it still makes her feel safe.
And safety is something she hasn't felt in a while. Tommy looks so lonely without Will, Tubbo looks too small to wear a presidential coat, Quackity looks so quilty walking around town, Fundy looks so broken and grown up, Phil looks so quilty every time he spots the cave.
And Niki looks at New L'Manberg, and she feels the need to run.
-----
The first sign is the flag. It's a nice flag, and it's good to have something to symbolise a change, that they're not the same.
But it still pains her to see a part of Will disappear. He didn't get a grave, didn't get a memorial, it's like his memory was stained, like he was never even there.
The second sign is when Tommy's exile. It's fair, in a way, but the boy doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserve to relive their trauma like that.
Tommy's irrational actions have hurt a lot of people, but this was still his home, and it wasn't fair of them to take it away from him.
The third sign is the butcher army. Sure, Technoblade isn't exactly innocent, but they'd treated him like he wasn't even human, like he was less than a beast.
And while she may not have liked Phil, may be unable to look the man in the eye, they'd clipped him from his wings and chained him to his house.
L'Manberg was supposed to be free, a way to leave all that cruelty behind. And look at it now, look at what there is left of the nation Will had promised her, the nation he had build with his own two hands.
-----
She sheds no tears when New L'Manberg inevitably falls. This country has been walking a fine line for months now, it's not the place Will had promised her anymore.
It's not. Fundy knows it, Eret knows it, even Tommy and Tubbo know. It's not worth her tears, not worth for her to spill her heart.
So she burns it down. Drops some TNT when she feels like it, because she wants to be a part of its downfall, wants to destroy the thing that had taken so much from her.
The battle has already been lost when she spots the tree, spots the one thing that had remained the same through all these years, and she remembers sitting here and smiling.
Now she watches the tree burn, watches all the memories and all the suffering turn to ashes. Because, even if she had called this place home, had loved its inhabitants, it was never meant to be.
-----
She freezes. Of course she does, because she knows that sweater, knows that beanie, knows who it belongs to. She doesn't know that skin, can't know that skin.
Fundy told her Ghostbur had helped with the renovation, but it couldn't be true, could it? Will is dead, he's gone.
He would've come back for her if he was still here. Ghost or not.
He would've.
It must've been her imagination playing tricks on her, there's no yellow sweater, no red beanie, no Ghostbur.
So she does the one thing she knows how to do. She runs away from her problems once again, doesn't look back, and sets the world further ablaze.
Her world. His world.
Their world.
-----
It starts making sense now. She finally gets why Tubbo exiled Tommy. Sure, he abided Dream in doing so, what only worsened the situation, but she does get it.
Tommy started this whole thing. He considered the discs worth more than anything his friends worked their asses off for. He kept aggravating Dream. He took away everything from her.
Maybe things would be better off without Tommy, maybe Will would've still been at her side if it weren't for him. Maybe Tommy should just die.
-----
The plan doesn't work. Either because Tommy knows what's up or he's just the most lucky bastard on this server.
It hurts to see him like this, though, so insufferably annoying. Because this is the Tommy she first met, the boy who was so bright and had no idea what the future would hold.
How much suffering he'd put everyone through.
She can't stand his innocence, his ignorance, she can't stand him.
"I hate you!" She does, doesn't she? "You left me behind, Will!" But she's not talking to Will, is she? "Tommy. I meant- I meant Tommy."
She takes a few steps back, shakes her head as brown hair returns to blonde, and she doesn't stop the tears that fall.
-----
It's only in her dreams that she finds peace. She doesn't get many of them, she barely sleeps anyway, but when she finally drifts off and it's not the usual nightmares that plague her, she can't help but smile.
It's all a dream, she knows that, but everything is better than her reality, everything is better than the endless cycle of hurt.
So when she spots the L'Mantree still standing, and it's Will welcoming her with open arms, she gives in. She hugs him tight and while it may not be real, it's still Will.
It's still safe.
"Maybe I'll join you some day, Will. Then we can laugh like we used to, sing some songs. We can be free again."

Man in the (Shattered) Mirror Ch. 7
AO3   First   Prev
TWs: Some references to suicidal thoughts/ideation and villainizing of Pogtopia Wilbur.
Ghostbur sat, hands fiddling with a piece of blue in his lap, and watched Eret bustle around. They’d grabbed a dozen or so chairs – cheap plastic and metal things from who-knows-where – and were now arranging them in a loose circle. Ghostbur had already claimed his own, off in the corner, and he cocked his head when Eret adjusted one for the third time in a minute.
“Do you need help?” he asked. Eret looked up, shook their head.
“Nah, I’m good.” They paused for a second, then collapsed into the chair they’d been arranging and buried their head in their hands with a groan. “It’s just… been a long time since I’ve had people over. I want it to look good.”
Ghostbur hummed at that, glancing around. He’d always liked Eret’s castle; the architecture was stunning and the decoration, opulent. Paintings hung perfectly from velvet-draped walls, untouched plush carpet lined the hallways, dusty couches sat in offshoot rooms. It almost felt like a relic from hundreds of years ago, a historical monument somehow still standing for people to go admire – without touching. A liminal space of sorts.
It was a little off-putting, yes, a little eerie, but it was fitting. He was a ghost, after all.
“It looks good,” Ghostbur said, and Eret smiled.
“Thanks, Ghostbur.”
There was a knock from the hallway leading in, and they both looked over to the open door. Phil was standing in the doorway, one hand raised slightly over the wood, the other holding a small hand. Young Wilbur was grasping back, gazing around with wide eyes and an awestruck expression.
A third person behind Phil shifted, and it was like looking in a mirror. The same eyes, (saturated,) the same hair, (cut shorter than Ghostbur’s,) the same shocked look. Different clothes, though – other Wilbur was wearing a crisp L’Manberg uniform, one that Ghostbur could remember quite well.
Wilbur locked eyes with him and opened his mouth slightly, but Phil spoke before he could.
“May we come in?” he asked with a small smile, and Eret got to their feet.
“Yes, yes, of course! You’re the first here, come, sit.”
Other Wilbur’s eyes shifted to Eret when she spoke, and his face lit up as Phil led the kid to sit next to Ghostbur.
“Eret!” he exclaimed, walking over to the King, and her polite smile grew tense, hands clasped behind her back. “How are you, man?”
“I’m doing well,” she ventured, nodding once. “And yourself?”
“Fine,” he answered, frowning, clearly trying to make sense of her standoffish demeanor. “Or, well, I just woke up in the future, yesterday, so…” He laughed, running a hand through his hair. “As fine as I can be, I guess.”
Eret hummed. “Yes, that must be quite disorientating.”
“Yeah, you have no idea.” Wilbur paused for a second, looking around the room. “You seem to be doing well for yourself. How’d you get all this?” He waved a hand. “I mean, I know we won, but- this isn’t L’Manberg.“
Eret seemed at a loss for words. He took a step back and glanced at the small group, seemingly asking for help. “I-“
“Wil?” a voice interrupted.
Tommy was in the doorway, frozen, Tubbo and Ranboo at his side. He was staring at the confrontation in the middle of the room – or, more specifically, one of its members. Wilbur glanced over his shoulder and smiled gently at the kid.
“Hey, Tommy,” he said, and then he was engulfed in a hug, both brothers laughing with joy, and Ghostbur found himself smiling along, remembering very well what it felt like to be reunited, to hug, to be loved.
Then, a curl of something unpleasant and unidentifiable twisted in his stomach. It sat uncomfortably, a nasty little voice that told him he wanted that for himself. He missed Tommy’s hugs, the way his face would light up when he saw him. Even though he’d technically never had it.
It was a bad feeling, one that made him feel like Alivebur, so Ghostbur held onto his blue a little tighter and it faded away. Good.
Wilbur pushed Tommy away, holding him by the shoulders, and seemed to examine him. “How you doin’, kiddo?” Tommy brushed him off, breaking free from the grasp.
“Fine, fine.” His eyes caught on Eret, and he scowled.
She just smiled gently at him, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “You can take a seat anywhere you want.”
Wilbur glanced between them, clearly about to comment on the tension, but then Tommy was dragging him away to the other side of the circle, beside where Tubbo and Ranboo had settled. They were quick to start a conversation, gesturing wildly and grinning all the while. Just like the pair next to them.
Next to Ghostbur, Phil and Younger Wilbur were chatting, the kid’s legs swinging idly as he ranted about something or another. Ghostbur lowered his head and picked at his sweater, only looking up as the unoccupied chair to his other side creaked.
Eret smiled at him. “You doing okay?”
He nodded almost automatically. They still seemed tense, so he broke off a piece of the chalky lump in his hands and passed it over, muttering something along the lines of, “here, have some blue.” They took it, stuffing it in a pocket.
“Thank you.” Then, to the group at large, “Does anyone know if Fundy’s joining us?” Conversation ground to a halt, and everyone looked around awkwardly, muttering no’s and I dunno’s. But then,
“I’m here,” Fundy muttered, slinking into the room, sticking to the wall all the while. He slid into the seat next to Tubbo, leaving one between him and Phil. Ranboo subtly shifted away from him, closer to Tommy.
Fundy was looking like he very much regretted ever showing up, arms crossed over his chest and nails digging into his biceps. Something in Ghostbur’s chest twisted at that. He looked away. The feeling faded.
“Right, so,” Eret started, slipping into what Ghostbur recognized as a ‘politician voice,’ “Let’s get started, shall we?”
Wilbur, across the room, interrupted. “Sorry, uh, what exactly are we discussing? I mean,” he waved his hand, “it’s all well and good, but I did just show up, apparently a year and a half in the future, so… some clarification- it would be appreciated.”
“I’d like that too,” a different voice said.
Everybody turned to look at the newcomer. Quackity stepped into the room, looking for all the world like he owned the place, though he was wearing a concerned frown. And, behind him, was another Wilbur, messy haired, wearing a long, tattered brown coat that Ghostbur remembered vaguely, faintly, smelling of ash and gunpowder and he didn’t like this-
Eret rested a hand on his shoulder and he came back to the world, shaking hands clutching at his blue. Suddenly, the coat didn’t seem like that big a deal, anymore. He shot her a smile.
In the doorway, Wilbur hovered, clear derision on his face as he looked at his past self, who just stared back evenly. Quackity had taken a seat next to Eret, with one in between himself and L’Manberg Wilbur, and he patted it expectantly.
“C’mon, Wilbur, man, stop being a bitch.”
Wilbur’s face turned up in a sneer. “I’m not fucking sitting near him,” he said, staring at Eret. His gaze flickered to Ghostbur for a moment, before returning to the King.
“What the fuck’s your problem with Eret?” other Wilbur accused.
“Oh, don’t get on my case, you fuckin’ idealist.”
“Boys,” Phil interrupted in his ‘dad voice,’ making Ghostbur instinctively startle. “Can we please get along and talk? Thank you,” he added when Wilbur shuffled to sit down next to Quackity. Though he did shoot his other self a resentful glare.
“Okay.” Phil clapped his hands and swept the group with a look. “As most of you know, yesterday we tried to resurrect Wil.”
“I…” trenchcoat Wilbur asked, something Ghostbur didn’t like glowing in his eyes, “died?” And Phil nodded sadly.
“Yeah, mate, it’s, uh-“ he swallowed. “A lot happened, and I uh, wasn’t here for most of it, so-” he looked across the loose circle of chairs, “Tommy? Care to catch us all up?”
Tommy looked up, sent Phil a withering glare, and said, almost robotically, “We won the war. Held an election, lost-“ trenchcoat Wilbur got a panicked look in his eye, glanced at his father, “-got exiled, started a rebellion, Wil fuckin’ lost it, blew up the nation, and died.”
“And we killed Schlatt,” Tubbo supplied from his side. Tommy nodded grimly.
“And we killed Schlatt.”
Nobody seemed to like that recounting, and Ghostbur agreed. Already, the latter half of the list was turning to static in his mind, as the words tried to bring back memories he didn’t have, couldn’t have because they made him think of cigarettes and restless nights and the fear that someone was in the shadows, coming to get at him-
What was he thinking about, again?
“…Right,” trenchcoat Wilbur said, looking vaguely ill.
“Okay,” Quackity interrupted, “I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m getting pretty tired of referring to you two,” he gestured at the men to his right, “as Wilbur and Wilbur.”
“And me!” the kid next to Ghostbur exclaimed.
Quackity nodded. “And you.”
“Any ideas?” Eret asked.
“L’Manbur,” Tommy muttered, and Wilbur next to him burst into booming laughter. The kid jumped, before quickly realizing what it was and settling back down with a small smile.
“L’Manbur,” he repeated, still laughing. “We’re not fuckin’ calling me L’Manbur, Tommy.”
“Why not?” Tommy scowled. “It’s a perfectly good-“
Wilbur clapped a hand over his mouth and swept his gaze over the group. “I’d rather be called General, I think,” he said, over Tommy’s muffled protests. Then he yanked his hand away in disgust. “Did you just fucking lick me?”
“General, then,” Eret nodded in agreement. He turned to Wilbur next to Quackity, ignoring Tommy’s steady stream of ‘what was that for? It was a good suggestion! I hate you; die, die, die.’ “What about you?”
“I uh,” he said, then shrugged. “I dunno.”
“Alivebur,” Ghostbur found himself suggesting. It fit; he was who Ghostbur thought of first when he spoke of Alivebur. Fire in his eyes, trenchcoat swishing behind him, an inch away from reaching for sand and gunpowder, but not quite there yet.
To his surprise, Wilbur – Alivebur, now, he supposed – was nodding along. “Alivebur,” he repeated pensively, almost tasting the name. “Sure. Alivebur.”
Ghostbur grinned at him – his idea had been used! He’d been appreciated! Gods, this felt good – and ignored the confused look he got in return.
“Sorry, who are you?” Alivebur asked.
“Ghostbur! I’m your ghost,” he proclaimed. “I wanted to bring you back – even if it meant I die – but, well, that didn’t really work, did it? Don’t worry though, we’ll figure this out.”
“…Sure,” alive him said. Phil was quick to change the topic of conversation.
“And you,” he said, wrapping an arm around the kid and drawing him close to his side, “can just be Wil.”
“What?” Wil protested, shoving away from his father. “Why don’t I get a cool nickname like them?”
“Because,” Phil let him go and ruffled his hair, “you’re special.” Wil stuck out his tongue, but seemed to take that as good enough reasoning, for he leaned back into his chair.
“What about,” Ranboo started, drawing even the attention of Tommy and the General who, up to this point, had still been bickering, “uh, yesterday, we – Tommy and I – we ran into another one, on the way to Snowchester.”
Tommy nodded. “Yeah. He was a fuckin’ bitch.”
“Tommy,” Phil chided, and the kid scowled.
“He was! Said he’d been dead for five and a half years, as if that excuses-“
“What’re we calling him?” Quackity asked.
“Revivebur,” Tubbo suggested, and Tommy turned to him with a wicked smile.
“Yeah! That!”
“I… also, ran into one,” Fundy said quietly, eyes downcast as he fiddled with the hem of his jacket. All eyes turned to him and he almost shrank into himself. Ghostbur had almost forgotten he was here, if he was honest, with how quiet his son was being. “On the docks. He was nineteen, so… just after we moved here.”
“You always called yourself Soot, with strangers,” Tommy said, glancing at the General, and his brother nodded hesitantly. “After Sally.”
“Yeah… that sounds fine. I think he’d like it.”
“Have we seen any others?” Eret asked, met with only silence. “No?”
“’S weird that Wilbur as President hasn’t shown up,” Quackity said. “I’d have thought he’d be here too.”
“Maybe he’ll show up,” Tubbo muttered.
“What about…” Phil said, wings twitching, “Wil from yesterday. Right before he died.” And everybody grew deathly silent.
“We ran into him,” Alivebur said, fidgeting with a lighter he’d pulled out of his pocket. “Leaving Pogtopia,” and Quackity nodded, adding,
“Yeah. Didn’t miss that bitch.”
The General looked between them, a confused frown on his face, but Tommy elbowed him and shook his head. Ghostbur privately agreed. He would much rather not talk about this at all, actually, and keep avoiding thinking about the past few months of Wilbur’s life.
“We need to call him something,” Eret said.
“Yeah,” Tommy agreed, “’cause that asshole is not Wilbur.”
The group was silent, for a minute, every member thinking about a possible nickname. Ghostbur tried to cast his thoughts back to Pogtopia, think of what he’d have liked to be called in that dark, musty underground.
He quickly regretted it, dragging himself back to the present with a shake of his head and a gaping pit in his chest. Clutching at his blue, it faded, leaving only another, slightly more pleasant – if only from the lack of emotion – gaping pit in its place.
“Vilbur,” Fundy suggested quietly, and nobody protested.

Fundy's Arc: A Collection of Transcriptions
The seeds of this character arc have been sown from the very beginning. This was a loooong time coming.
Here’s just a collection of moments and quotes from across Fundy’s character arc with Wilbur in L’manberg.
How did we get here? How did all of this familial conflict arise? 
Because it’s been there long before Schlatt even got into power.
---
The very start: 
- Fundy’s house gets pranked. He can no longer live there. Wilbur says that he’s technically the first naturally born citizen of L’manberg and claims Fundy as his son. He proclaims that, unlike his own father, he would be there for Fundy and give him the world. Neither of these promises were kept.
- After the first war ends, Wilbur makes Tommy vice president and Tubbo secretary of state. He doesn’t give Fundy any position. In fact, he doesn’t even include Fundy in the national anthem. Even Eret’s name was included over Fundy.
---
Wilbur, rejecting Eret’s kingship:
Wilbur: “I actually recognize, um, subscriber counts actually denote who’s in charge, um...”
Tommy: “That means you’ve got like a week until Fundy’s in charge of L’manburg.”
Wilbur: “Nah, Fundy’s too young...”
---
- Fundy’s rebellious stage really starts when he takes off the L’manburg uniform, long before any of the others did. Wilbur tries to get him to put it back on, but Fundy refuses.
Fundy: “Wilbur, it’s all right, I’m...I’m not a uniform.”
Wilbur: “Fundy why aren’t you in uniform?”
Fundy: “Um...I...forgot...”
Tubbo: “Put it on.”
Wilbur: “No, no, no, my son knows, Tubbo, don’t -- stand down, alright...right.”
Wilbur: “Fundy, it’s alright -- it’s okay that you forgot it, you know you’re a young man now, you’ve grown up a lot since -- you know you’re a teenager, you’re going through your rebellious phase, it’s absolutely fine that -- sometimes you wanna wear you’re own clothes! You know, but -- you know...daddy made a nice uniform and gave it to you, and...you know--”
Fundy: “Wait you made me a uniform?”
Wilbur: “It’s nothing, it’s really nothing, don’t worry --”
Fundy: “Waiiiiit, wait, what do you mean? What do you mean you made me a uniform?”
...
Wilbur: “It’s okay, we’ll talk about your uniform when you’re a bit older.”
---
- He gets into a war with Sapnap, almost starts a civil war with Tubbo, and Wilbur is absent for both of these. He’s just straight up not there. He didn’t even know about Fundy’s war with Sapnap since he had no idea Mushroom would make Niki upset, and Tommy brings up the fact that Wilbur’s been absent when he explains what had been happening between Tubbo and Fundy. Tommy had to step in because he was the only one left in charge.
---
Tommy: “Fundy, okay can I tell you what’s happened from my point of view? The son of the President has gone around scamming the other presidential members, and as Vice President while the President’s not on, it is my duty to make sure this doesn’t pull apart L’manburg.”
...
Tommy: “What would father think?”
Fundy: “...”
Fundy: “...Well he - always...sides...by me...”
Tommy: “Well you know, I mean, you’ve gone against the other members of the nation he fought to build--”
Fundy: “--Well! only because my - my loot has been stolen, alright --“
---
Tommy, to Wilbur:
Tommy: “been a little while since you’ve been on, Wilbur.”
Wilbur: “Yeah, well there’s a reason I haven’t been on...it sickens me.”
...
Tommy: “There was a - there was a civil war.”
Wilbur: “I heard, between Fundy and Tubbo --”
Tommy: “Yeah, your son and our secretary of state had a huge quarrel, and I defused it.”
Maybe this is just me reading into that last line and the tone it was said with a bit too much, but Tommy kind of had to emphasize the fact that Fundy was Wilbur’s son, as if Wilbur had almost forgotten it
---
- Pog2020 works to get Sapnap’s vote by publicly disavowing Fundy. He goes to make his own party in response and Coconut2020 isn’t even taken seriously. Wilbur didn’t even want to include it on the ballot. 
Sapnap: “Your father would be very disappointed.”
Fundy: “Why - disappointed for wearing glasses?! 
Sapnap: “Ugly, wearing glasses, what are you wearing --”
Fundy: “What do you mean?!”
Tommy: “Fundy, Fundy...I’m just here to publicly denounce you.”
Fundy: “...What?”
...
Tommy: “I’m just here to kinda let you know...if you weren’t Wilbur’s son, you would be out of L’manberg. Just remember, you need to keep that relationship with your father - I saw how arsehole-y and bratty you were acting in the courtroom the other night, you need to pull your shit together young man.”
...
Fundy: “Chat, lemme get this straight real quick...so Tommy is demoting me, right, and he’s saying you’re only in L’manberg because of Wil. So Tommy says...in theory, he would kick me out if he had the chance. But considering that, while he’s together with Sapnap, it leads me to believe... Tommy wants to destroy L’manberg.”
--- More under the break because this is a horrendously long post ---
Fundy gives a speech after preparing the Festival decorations:
Fundy: “Chat, I wanna point something out...
at the start of everything in L’manberg, when Jschlatt got on top of everyone, when Jschlatt got the leading position, and everyone was saying it was a bad thing [...] I just wanna point out...
What have Tommy and Wil ever done for this country? What have they ever done for this country? Really? They put up walls, they accepted a drug scandal, and what do we have? Not two weeks after Schlatt got elected, we have a festival. We have a festival! [...] They kept our country alive, but we’ve revamped it to something better [...] They’ve kept us alive for us to continue our generation 
 I see progress, alright?”
---
The big turning point happens when Fundy denounces Wilbur as part of his plan as a spy. That moment sealed the fate between the two, fracturing their relationship beyond repair.
---
Fundy: “Wilbur, imma need you to shut up for a second--”
Wilbur: “Don’t you speak like that to me, Fundy. Don’t forget where you came from!”
Schlatt: “What’s the relationship between you and...and Wilbur, Fundy?”
Fundy: “Wilbur’s just the founder, and I was born here, and nothing else. That’s literally all there is to it.”
Wilbur: “But...you know that’s not...”
---
When Fundy goes back to help Wilbur and Tommy with his Spy’s Diary, he’s still mocked and spoken over, called Wilbur’s “traitor son.” His effort as a mole wasn’t enough to fix their bond.
And when everyone finally takes back L’manburg, Wilbur gets to choose who’s the new president. There’s only one person other than Tommy that that could be. And as Fundy watches...Wilbur gives Tubbo the country instead. And then blows Fundy’s home to smithereens. 
And instead of living with the consequences, he tells Phil to kill him, so that he can become a little floating ghost who wanders around avoiding his problems.
---
When a creeper explodes a hole in the wall and Wil asks Phil about his button room, Phil asks Wil to VC. Wil, seeing that it was a serious talk, immediately avoids it and drops the conversation. This is exactly what Fundy calls out later on.
---
Fundy tells Wilbur straight to his face:
Fundy: “Wil, LISTEN!”
Wilbur: “I am - I am, I am, I just --”
Fundy: “You know what’s wrong? Do you even know? Does it even break through, like - Wil, listen, look at me. Wil, WIL...stop. Every single time something serious comes up, you evade it. You just avoid everything. You run away from every serious consequence that might become of your actions. You walk away from it! You just smile throughout everything. You think nothing is going on, you think everything is fine...it’s not! 
You were there for me, for a very very fucking long time...and when I needed you the most, you skedaddled the fuck out of my life and died. Because of what? L’manburg’s causes, huh? You thought that was justice, you thought that was good for me? You left me, man. You never take things seriously, you never do.”
Fundy: “Let me tell you something, Wil, let me tell you something. You know what happened, after all of your memories - all of your good memories of our quote unquote ‘last talk?’ Because it wasn’t our last talk, Wil - Wil--”
Wilbur: “If I didn’t remember it, it probably wasn’t worth remembering.”
Wilbur then feigns a meeting with Tubbo to get out of the conversation and leave, immediately proving Fundy’s point.
---
Wilbur doesn’t like to face the consequences of his actions. 
He started the election because he felt like no one respected his power. But instead of dealing with that lack of respect by gaining it legitimately, he just came up with a plan to rig an election. Instead of accepting that he lost the election, and that Schlatt was getting more done for L’manburg than he did in his time as president, Wilbur came up with a plan to bomb the festival and kill everyone. And when he finally exploded L’manburg, he perma-died and left everyone else to deal with Techno’s withers. 
Fundy is right about Wilbur. He walks away from uncomfortable situations. And Fundy is, to Wilbur, an uncomfortable situation.
---
(also everyone say thank you fundy and wilbur for bringing us this heartbreaker of a character arc rn because this is some damn good stuff)

Essentially there was an election, will lost, schlatt won, wilbur and Tommy got exiled, I don’t actually know at what point of pog topic techno came in at but I know it was pretty early?
Tubbo was brought in as a spy, and in order to leave one time he told schlatt he was pregnant, there was a festival that Tubbo decorated, and schlatt built a box around him and made techno killed him, after a while of prepar8ng (and will’s mental health steadily increasing) they go to war with manburg (I think...?) Will presses button, despite Phil not want, Phil kill he son bc he son want he too, cue surprise, no time to mourn, techno spown wither to kill everone, blah blah blah schlatt dies at some point after being cornered.
There’s a lot more detail in between it all but im too lazzzyyyy
good, good.
i still think you should watch the videos for the acting and entertainment vaalue tho
okay. lightning round.
what prevented him from pressing the button on the festival?
why were pogtopia’s walls covered in buttons?
what happened with eret on the manberg war? like, before he decided to help pogtopia?

Alright I’m losing my mind how do u feel about infodumping this new thing you’re watching bc ily and want to know what you’re talking about XD
Oh boy oh boy anon, have you opened the flood gates. *cracks knuckles* I’m always down to info dump. (gets kind long so i’m putting a cut in)
The Dream SMP is a Minecraft multiplayer server owned by Dream, and most of the stuff happens over on live streams on twitch. Some content creators post highlight videos on their youtube channels, which was how I started, but it doesn’t quite fully catch the whole story and nuances (that being said I’d recommend TommyInnit, Wilbur Soot or Technoblade as a good place to get started, they all have youtube playlists on their channels)
The server starts off like a normal survival server, but then TommyInnit joins and starts stirring up trouble. This sparks off the disc war (fighting over Tommy’s most prized possessions on the server (keep that in mind) a couple of discs he’s managed to get (Cat and Mellohi most importantly)) and the pet war (Between Tommy and Sapnap, involving a lot of animal deaths, including Tommy’s cow Henry). I’m a little unclear on the early days of the server, cos I’ve only seen a few youtube highlights, but that’s the gist of it. 
Then Wilbur Soot joins the server. With Tommy, Tommy’s friend Tubbo, Eret and Fundy (who is Wilbur’s son and also a fox in lore), they create a new country of L’manburg, declaring independence from the rest of the server.  Dream, the owner of the server, doesn’t like this idea and it sparks the first war - the battle for independence. After fighting, a betrayal which still hangs over the heads of everyone even now, and a whole lot of tnt, Tommy challenges Dream to a 1v1 duel for independence. He loses, but sacrifices both his prized discs to Dream, securing L’manberg’s independence. 
There’s a time of peace, other characters like Niki join L’manburg and then Wilbur announces an election because he wasn’t democratically elected and wanted to secure that power. They tell Quackity - another member of the SMP who isn’t allowed in L’manburg because he’s not European and L’manberg is for Europeans only - and he decides he’s running as well. 
A last-minute entry from JSchlatt and a party alliance between Quackity and Schlatt meant that Schlatt barely won the election. Schatt’s first decree is to exile Tommy and Wilbur, and they’re chased out of L’manburg by a rain of arrows. The walls are torn down, the flag burned by Fundy and a new flag erected and L’manberg is renamed Manberg. 
Tommy and Wilbur find shelter in an underground canyon they name Pogtopia, Tubbo is left behind and recruited to be a mole/spy for them and they call in the help of an old friend - Technoblade. 
(An aside here, Techno, Tommy, Wilbur and another Minecraft youtube - Philza - have a group dynamic called the Sleepy Boys Incorporated. Lots of people headcanon them as a family, with Phil being the father and the others being brothers, but I like Phil being Wilbur’s father, Tommy being adopted/just showing up and they can’t get rid of him, and Techno being an old friend of Phil’s who’s about Wilbur’s age)
Schlatt announces a Festival. Tubbo is in charge of decorations for it and is also giving a speech. On the way back after spying on the announcement, Wilbur turns to Tommy and asks if they’re being the bad guys. He then announces “let’s be the badguys” and despite Tommy’s protests, gets a Whole Lotta TnT of Dream. 
The day of the festival arrives - Wilbur has rigged the entirety of Manburg with tnt. Wilbur and Tommy spy on the festivals while Techno who was invited joins in. Then, after Tubbo’s speech - which is going to be the cue to explode it all - things start to go wrong. Schlatt and Quackity trap Tubbo in a box, and Techno is called up to execute him because Schlatt figured out he was a mole. 
Techno does because of mild peer pressure, Wilbur goes to find the button but can’t, Techno goes on a rampage and murders a whole bunch of people, and Tommy is Upset. Back at Pogtopia he challenges Techno to a 1v1 fist fight which he loses (dude has not won a single 1v1)
Tubbo is now with Pogtopia, having lost the second of his three canon lives (as have Tommy and Wilbur at different points). Fundy reveals himself to be a spy for Pogtopia (though Wilbur still calls him his ‘traitor son’ and ‘look my son who I despise”), and Dream announces that there’s a traitor in their midst. A date is set for the final war. 
The day arrives. There are 11 and a half stacks of tnt under Manberg. Techno shows the team his underground bunker and they all gear up. After a battle, Dream announces that they want to surrender, and shows them Schlatt, who dies to a very anticlimatic heart attack. 
Wilbur appoints Tommy president, who declines and Tubbo becomes president instead. Then Wilbur slips off to the button room, saying that the thing he built the country for no longer exists (turns out he’s the traitor). 
Then Philza, who had previously not been whitelisted, joins the server directly behind Wilbur and at the same moment, Techno shoots Tubbo, announcing that despite constantly saying he was fighting against government he’d been betrayed by them setting up a government right in front of him. Everyone starts fighting while Phil tries to talk Wilbur down. Wilbur doesn’t listen, hits the button, blows up Manberg and then asks Phil to kill him. Phil does, (somewhat reluctantly “you’re my son!”) and then rushes down to help the others fight the two withers that Techno just spawned. 
In the aftermath, New L’manberg rises with Tubbo as president. Techno goes into retirement and Wilbur comes back as Ghostbur - who is extremely wholesome and has a bad memory, cos he’s not able to remember anything bad. There’s a stretch of peace, in which Ranboo joins the server, Ghostbur, Fundy and Phil have some family bonding, Ghostbur hands out blue which apparently sucks up sadness, and some side plots happen. 
Then Tommy and Ranboo burn down the house of the current king of the smp and Dream takes his chance. Through various manipulations, threats, and forcing people into situations they don’t want to be from Dream, Tubbo exiles Tommy.  
Tommy has a Hard Time in exile with Dream heavily manipulating him, to the point where he’s staring longingly at lava in the nether and being a shell of himself. Ghostbur hangs out with him for a bit (giving him and tubbo both compasses that point to each other) but just vanishes one day, leaving tommy completely alone with Dream. (it’s later revealed that Dream sent him off to wander in the snow - and turns out snow and rain melts him. He also finds a blue sheep who he calls Friend)
 New L’manberg is rotting from the inside, Tubbo bowing more and more to the pressures of his new role and becoming more corrupt. He and his cabinet (Fundy and Quackity and Ranboo is there as well) put Phil under house arrest while trying to track down Techno to kill him. 
Dream pushes a little too hard with Tommy, and Tommy towers high into the sky, realizes Dream was never his friend and leaves, finding shelter under Techno’s house. 
The butcher army (Tubbo, Fundy, Quackity and Ranboo’s there too) capture Techno by holding his horse hostage and try to execute him, but he escapes with the help of Dream (which will come back because Techno now owes him a favour) and goes back home to find a feral Tommy living like a raccoon in his basement. Tubbo then goes to visit Tommy, only to find a creator where Dream blew everything up, and a tower reaching into the sky, with no sign of Tommy. He assumes Tommy is dead. 
Techno and Tommy have been hanging out together, Tommy wanting to get his discs back (Tubbo having one he gave him as a symbol of trust and Dream having the other, but Techno wants to destroy L’manberg and the government) Tommy is slowly building up his confidence and sneaking back into L’manberg. Techno rescued Phil from his house arrest. Tubbo has been burying himself in projects and being mostly ooc which I translate to ‘my best friend just died and it’s partly my fault so I'm gonna go make a guardian farm and Not Think About That.’ Ranboo is the only one with any sense and can see that Dream is holding all the streams and that people shouldn’t be fighting, but working together to defeat him. He’s technically part of L’manberg, but he’s been hanging out with Techno and Tommy a fair bit. 
And Dream commissioned a prison that is going to be completely inescapable. Like, completely. Like, the creator of the prison died and respawned inside it at one point and said it’d take him an hour to get out and he knows how it works and had to be teleported out. Like, this thing will send texts to the guards’ phones if a block is broken. We have no idea what it’s for and we are afraid. 
In today’s stream, Tommy and Techno hold someone hostage in an effort to get Techno’s weapons back, Tommy and Tubbo properly see each other for the first time and get into a bit of a fight, Techno starts to slowly turn Tommy against Tubbo/the government and Tommy faces off with Dream, gaining enough confidence to cuss him out. 
And that’s basically where we’re at now. This is a very rough outline of what happens, and I’ve left out most of the more cursed lore (Wilbur has fun) and a lot of the side plots (like the Crimson egg that’s been spreading, and El Rapids). If you wanna know more i’m down to info dump more and can provide you with links. 
Also, real quick, check out the animatics! SAD-ist has some amazing ones, as does Late-August, The Channel Without a Name and a WHOLE lot of other’s whose names I forget. Honestly just search ‘dream smp animatic’ and spend a couple hours looking through them they’re AMAZING. I can provide you with links of those as well!
