Some Thoughts on Wilbur and Tommy

Wilbur and Tommy. This resurrection arc is bringing their relationship into greater importance once more. It’s such a fascinating one.

Their relationship is complicated. Tommy stood by Wilbur’s side to the very end. He believed in him, not supporting his actions, but trying to help him and convince him to be better. And until the very end, he believed he’d succeeded.

Wilbur chose Tommy to be President but Tommy chose Wilbur instead, believing he’d truly changed and was going to be the person Tommy believed in - the one who’d first inspired him. Tommy was very idealistic, always believing the best in others.

Until the end, when Wilbur betrayed him for the last time, blowing it all up so shortly after naming his best friend President. And Tommy hadn’t been there to stop him this time. He’d failed in his goal of saving Wilbur.

And then Tommy met Wilbur’s ghost. This ghost was mischievous but very nice. He helped him pull pranks, kept killing him while invisible, helped him make a present for Tubbo and agreed to take care of him and join him in exile if he need it. Tommy and Ghostbur’s relationship is interesting as it’s so obvious Tommy is still deeply conflicted about Wilbur - he spoke most highly of the person Wilbur used to be, but saw the one who blew up L’manburg as the crazy one, like a different person entirely. Tommy has also asked Ghostbur about Wilbur a number of times, such as asking why he made Tubbo President. Tommy talks about Wilbur very little but he is on his mind a lot. It’s pretty evident that his greatest fear was turning into the Wilbur who blew up L’Manburg.

Tommy was closest to Wilbur in Pogtopia, saw him at his worst moments and tried to persuade him to have more hope. And it wasn’t enough. At one point, Tommy joined Wilbur in the button room and convinced him not to press it. But he went there again and this time, Tommy wasn’t there to stop it and Wilbur died, taking L’Manburg with it. So in his exile, Tommy finds help with Technoblade and gets tempted to blow L’Manburg up - it’s not what it once was, it has become corrupted and his friends don’t care about him anymore. Tommy nearly is convinced but upon coming face to face with his best friend, upon yelling that he cares less about Tubbo than his discs and seeing Tubbo go silent and hurt at his words, Tommy realises he’s becoming just what he feared. He’s Wilbur, lashing out at those he should be closest to and he’s listening to the violent Technoblade who wants destruction - Tommy realises he’s in the wrong. He immediately changes sides and afterwards states that his trauma and his pain shouldn’t be an excuse to hurt others, doesn’t justify his actions. I think Tommy’s begun to understand Wilbur more after his time in exile, but remembers how much it hurt to be at Wilbur’s side, watching his fall.

Ghostbur though, Ghostbur is nice - Tommy asks him about his blue - why the stuff he gives out is already so blue if its supposed to only turn blue after sucking the sadness out. Tommy likes Ghostbur a lot and its clear he values his company greatly.

So the idea of bringing Wilbur back is an uncomfortable one for Tommy - likely a part of him wants Wilbur back - he never got real closure, but Wilbur is bad memories. Tommy wants to help Ghostbur so when he comes to him asking for ressurrection, Tommy awkwardly agrees but he’s anything but comfortable with the idea.

Tommy turns up at the resurrection, initially having no idea what’s going on - they’re just recreating a scene for some reason. When they inform him they’re killing Ghostbur to bring Wilbur back, the way Tommy breathes -the way he gently tells the ghost that he likes him more, offering him a carrot. He witnesses, but turns away as Philza stabs the Ghost. After it happens, Tommy is very worried, he’s angry, missing Ghostbur, worried about what will come back. After Ghostbur is back and he seems alright, Tommy offers him his blue back and then leaves, saying he can’t-

Unlike everyone else involved, Tommy is against the resurrection. Everyone else seems to believe this will somehow fix things. Eret believes Wilbur is the key to his redemption and that Wilbur will be able to help the people in a way no one else can, Philza is guilty for killing Wilbur in the first place and wants to absolve himself of this crime, Ranboo’s never even met Wilbur and is just going along with follow the ghost’s wishes.

Yet Tommy, normally the idealist who couldn’t ever give up on Wilbur, doesn’t think this is a good idea. He doesn’t want to lose Ghostbur, he values him in his own right, and he’s not sure about Wilbur being back in spite of knowing him best. He thinks they’re all making a mistake (while still being so obviously conflicted himself). It seems like the others are trying to run away from their problems, and thinks necromancy might be an easy solution. Philza’s guilty about Wilbur - don’t worry, we can bring him back to life! Eret’s guilt about his original betrayal, his failure to be a father to Fundy, and all that was lost in L’Manburg’s recent destruction - don’t worry, Wilbur is the answer!

But you see, what if things don’t go right? What if you bring back something worse? Schlatt’s ghost has also been woken up and we have no idea what sort of Wilbur may return. It’s strange how Tommy is the cynical one for once, the one who’s still not fully dealt with his feelings on Wilbur’s death and yet has held himself responsible for his own faults rather than letting himself go down a more self-destructive path - as Wilbur once did.

#wilbur soot #tommyinnit #dream smp #meta #analysis #those are some of my thoughts at leasst #i'll need to rewatch the little part with fundy #i can't recall his exact stance #other than some wariness towards the schlatt par ti think #fundy and tommy are curiously alike #aaah and ghostbur values tommy a lot too #but he's sweet to everyone so its hard to say how special tommy is to him #i look forward to more of tommy and wilbur in any form #their relationship is the most interesting to me

Alright, time to work on tying up loose ends ish. i think there’s like... 2 chapters left after this? idk, I’m still writing!

@petrichormeraki @helleborusangel

While most everyone wanted Grifter dead, the fact that he was the only way to free Xannes made them keep him alive. They did manage to get the Listener to let him out, but at the same time, he let his own family out as well before disappearing with them. Fortunately as they left, the world rolled back, undoing all the damage as well as leaving Grian rather grumpy that his hard work was gone.

Shortly after that, everyone had to keep Grian and Techno apart when the avian tried attacking him for being near Grum, who to Grian’s annoyance seemed perfectly fine around the warrior. He reluctantly accepted it, only to get piled on again as he tried to make a second nest.

Xannes hacked them all out of the castle, at least those he could. Kristen and Joe followed on their own a few moments later, everyone soon at the quartz mansion. Grian was immediately after as many blankets as he could obtain, Tommy laughing, but quickly helped out.

Kristen stayed for a bit, long enough to officially say hello to Grian once he was lucid enough, but stayed longer after Grum clung to her leg and refused to let go. Eventually she relented and got pulled into Grian’s blanket nest, Grum running off to drag Techno in next.

“So… how have you two been?” Kristen asked, before correcting herself. “Besides this whole mess that got me involved.”

“It’s been pretty pog since I found Grian. We didn’t even know we were related until, what? A week ago?”

“I’m sorry. I honestly had no clue.” Kristen apologized, but Grian shrugged.

“I don’t blame you. I ended up in a world that death didn’t seem to exist in, at least not really. People who died showed up as ghosts. So even if I did remember your job, I wouldn’t have blamed you there. Then there were the Watchers, and then apparently Zed’s been dealing with things in Hermitcraft. I- are you two related?”

“Yes, we’re siblings.” Kristen replied, shocking both Grian and Tommy.

Zedaph, who was nearby, stepped closer. “Why do you look so shocked? I thought you knew, or at the very least I thought Grian knew.”

“Is that why you acted so casual when you asked me to kill myself?!” Grian balked, making Kristen whip around to look at Zed.

“You asked him to what?!”

“It was for a game! I asked a number of hermits to see who could kill themselves the fastest for a prize! Honestly, I don’t see what the problem was since he started Demise a year later.”

“That was sort of my last shot to find anyone. I thought so much death would make Mum show up.”

“Well, as far as I know, she wasn’t even showing up for Phil after you left, so not like there was much hope there.” Tommy shrugged, though he said it in a joking manner. It still made Kristen frown before Tommy elbowed her. “Hey. It’s fine. I mean, we’re meeting you now and not before we found each other again, so that’s pretty pog too.”

As the two of them chatted, Grian managed to find some paper and ink and started putting together a quick family tree before handing it to Techno to fill in the blank of Fundy’s mom. “Alright, so Wil, Techno, Tommy and I are the kids of you and Phil. Wilbur’s got Fundy with someone named Sally?” Grian quickly looked to Techno who nodded. “Sally. Mumbo and I built Grum and Jrum, meanwhile Techno and Tommy don’t have any kids.”

“Yeah I’m still looking for the ladies.” Tommy jokingly boasted, getting some chuckles from those nearby.

“And I don’t see the point in relationships.”

“Aro, got it.”

“I prefer fireworks. I don’t need arrows.”

Grian stifled some chuckles before continuing. “You’re siblings with Zed, who’s currently with Impulse and Tango, which I’m not going to go further into for my own sanity. And then you and Dad are immortal or something, so who knows about your parents.”

Kristen nodded. “Good, but you’re forgetting your uncle.”

Grian showed off the chart. “What? No, I’ve got Zed there with Impulse and Tango. If you’re going with the misconception that Worm Man is related, I’ll have you know that Poultry Man has assured me that’s not the case. Plus Zedaph has an interview with Worm Man and they are definitely in the same place.”

Kristen half nodded. “Oh, I’m sure that’s very much the case. However, I’m talking about Phil’s brother.”

“Mum, I’m glad to meet you and everything, but could you have waited like another week to drop that on us too?” Tommy asked as Grian looked like he was on the edge of a breakdown.

“So, should I not mention he has-”

“Nope! Not now! And we’ll ask dad ourselves.”

“I was just a hermit a week ago. I was technically still an orphan. I had the hermits as a family. Now some of them are really my family. Why? Why? Why is this happening?”

“Okay G, time to go to bed.” Tommy said, pulling one of the blankets out of the nest and throwing it over Grian’s head, hoping the darkness would kick in Grian’s parrot brain and get him to calm down.

It was just at the right time too, because the door opened with Phil coming into the building. “How’s everyon- Kristen?!”

From there, all of the family currently in that world - other than Zedaph - ended up in Grian’s blanket nest. They chatted a bit before Kristen eventually had to leave, though she made sure to let all of them know how to call her if there was an emergency. Zedaph finally joined to take her place, getting glared at by Grum of all people. “You doing alright there?”

“I’m upset I didn’t know you were my uh… great uncle?”

“Grunkle has a better ring to it.” Zedaph smiled, but Grum just pouted and crossed his arms before being pulled into a hug from Grian. “But yeah, I’m sorry Grian. I can’t believe I never noticed you didn’t know.”

“No, it’s fine. I had a crazy enough story with my family growing up, what’s five more.”

“Five?” Phil asked, raising an eyebrow.

Grian started counting on his fingers. “Finding out that Tommy was my brother, the whole situation Techno caused, finding our Zedaph is related to me, finding out you’ve got a brother, and then Mum mentioning there was more to that.”

Phil sighed. “Oh, she told you about that? Okay first off, we’re half brothers, so that’s normally why he’s left out of things. Plus, he’s been doing his own thing for a while. I haven’t really heard from him since his letters about Minecrack.”

Grian paused, processing that new information before grabbing one of the blankets and screaming into it, Grum patting his dad on the back.

“Is he okay?” Phil asked, making Zedaph shake his head.

“Some of the hermits used to live there, so one of them might have met your brother. Sorry, half brother.”

“Ah, good to know.”

Grian slowly put the blanket down. “Okay, obviously talking is just making things worse. How about we all shut up for like… ten minutes while we still have some peace? I’m scared if we try much else, something else will come out of the woodwork and make things worse again.”

“Ugh, normally I’d hate not talking,” Tommy piped up with an agreeing groan. “But for once, you’ve got a point.”

“For once?!”

Tommy didn’t say anything else, just mimed zipping his lips up, locking them, and throwing away the key.

Grian woke up, glad it wasn’t from a nightmare. He, Tommy and Grum were the only ones left in the nest from before, but he smiled upon seeing the empty space had been given to Tommy’s friends. Ranboo seemed to have been dragged in based on his awkward position, likely by Tubbo and Michael who seemed much more comfortable.

Looking around, it didn’t seem anyone else was in the room, voices coming from elsewhere in the building. Grian carefully moved Grum closer to Tommy, the bot happily clinging to the teen instead. He then pulled himself out of the nest, doing his best not to wake anyone in the process.

He was glad to see everyone looked calm and nothing immediately seemed concerning. The closest thing was what looked like a living diamond walking around, but the fact that no one else was concerned made it less worrying. “So, who’s the new… person I think.”

Phil looked over to where Grian was standing now. “His name’s Skeppy. When the world got repaired, the people that weren’t already revived showed up. It also fixed my wings.” And he let one of them open up so Grian could see.

“Good to know. Nothing bad’s happened yet?” Grian asked, and Phil shook his head. “That’s good. Once Grum and Tommy are away, I’m going to be taking them home. I mean, unless Tommy wants to stay, because he might want to see people again, but Grum still needs repairs. Plus I need to talk with Mumbo about something I found out.”

“Anything bad?”

Grian shook his head. “Not necessarily, just something we need to be aware of.” Then Grian was quiet for a while before speaking up again. “You know, ever since I found it again, I’ve been taking care of the castle.”

“You mean… back in-?”

“Yeah. The place I grew up in has way too many bad memories attached. Evo’s gone and my building world is lonely. Hermitcraft is the closest thing I have to a home, but being able to take a break and go back there helps.”

Phil smiled. “Well, you’ll have to show me what you’ve done with the place.”

“Yeah.” Grian smiled. “I’ll try to visit with Tommy plenty. I’m sure you want to stay here now that it looks like things are calmed down. I’m sure you’ll want to visit us, or at least someone will, so I’ll look into that.”

“Just don’t go silent for eighteen years.” Phil joked, making Grian whack him in the back of his head with a wing.

From there, the two of them chatted, catching up. Both of them avoided the more unfavorable topics, which was a bit tricky, but they managed. At least they did for a while. “Hey… I’m sorry. I know I screwed up with Tommy.”

“Can we not talk about that?” Grian said, ruffling his feathers. “Enough has happened. I don’t want to talk about serious stuff right now.”

“Well who knows when we’ll get another chance.”

Grian sighed. “Fine, but I’m making it quick. Since you’re not going to be around, I’m just trusting you’ll maybe do better. I can check in any time I want, so just know if you screw up, there’s a good chance I’ll see it. There’s a good chance I’ll break down your door if I heard more stories from Tommy, but for like the next week or so, you’re safe. Is that good enough?”

Phil hesitated for a moment before responding. “Alright, sure.”

As soon as he responded, Grian went back to the other room, glad to see Tommy was awake. When Grian replayed the options to Tommy, the teen thought it over before deciding he would stay behind for a little bit at the very least. He didn’t want to disappear while Ranboo and Tubbo were both asleep. Grian made sure Tommy still had NPG’s old comm so that he could call for Grian to pick him up again.

Grian carefully picked Grum up, the bot clinging to his chest, then he opened a portal to take them home.

Grian was glad that the repairs ended up being mostly his job to fix. The redstone seemed unharmed, save for right near the trident wound and Grum’s buttons. Technically the buttons themselves were mainly aesthetic anyway, but some redstone was close by so they needed to be careful.

Once everything was fixed, they plugged Grum in to be safe and then Grian started explaining what he had learned. Mumbo was surprised and excused himself briefly to try contacting people for information. For the most part, he was able to get help, but in terms of whatever glitch the bots had, the information was too vague for anyone to get a good guess.

Grian got Xisuma to take a look, but unfortunately the admin couldn’t figure anything out. Neither could Xannes, but that was affected by NPG wanting to go home soon and check in his aerbunny.

With no other options, Grian was ready to use his Watcher magic, but he was quickly interrupted. Suddenly Grifter was there and threw himself into Grian’s arms, leaving the Watcher struggling to hold his double up before just dropping him. “What are you doing here?”

“Hiding?” Grifter answered innocently. “I kinda messed up, though Dad did too.”

“What did you do?” Grian growled as Grifter stood up and dusted himself off.

“Okay, so dad wanted me killing Nightmare. That’s cool, I did that. He just kinda let it slip his mind that he didn’t tell Punch. So now until Dad talks him down, I’m hiding here! Also watching for spies. Who knows where they could be hiding.”

Grian half groaned, half sighed. “How do I know you’re not going to destroy the place?”

“Uh, because that would make it obvious I’m here, duh. Look, just tell me what you want and I’ll do it. I mean, if it’s something other than leaving. I’m sticking here because if I get seen here, he’ll assume it’s just you. Wait, I’m going to need to get out of my new look. That’s no fun, I really like th-”

“Okay shut up for like five seconds. I don’t have the patience for this today. You said there was something of a glitch with my kids. Tell me what it is or fix it or something and you can stay for a bit. If you cause any trouble, you’re out though.”

“Oh yes of course!” Grifter responded, hugging Grian. “Okay, so the problem is kinda pretty simple. They aren't completely connected to this world so other data is being used to check where they’re from. If everything’s just within this world, it’s fine, but it fucks up their respawn if it’s not.”

“That’s… that’s it?”

“Yup! Just tell your admin and I’m sure he can- OH FUCK! Gimmie your bowwwww!” Grian suddenly started doing his best to climb Grian, having little luck with them being the same height. Grian did his best to keep his balance before seeing what exactly was freaking his hels copy. Nearby, a chicken had walked into view, and apparently that was the problem.

Grian gave a deadpan look before killing the chicken, which immediately calmed Grifter down. “You were scared… of a chicken?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I said he could be sending spies!”

“And… those are chickens?”

“Yes! Of course!” Grifter exclaimed like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Grian wanted to sigh in exasperation, but then he realized that this was good news. If for some reason Grifter acted up, well, a certain hero could help save the day.

“Alright, maybe this might not be the safest place for you here, but you can stay.”

“Why? Why isn’t it safe? Are there lots of spies?”

“Oh, we have the worst one yet. His name is Poultry Man. Have you ever heard of him.”

“I have! I thought Xannes was lying! He’s really real?!” Grifter asked, trembling, making Grian have to hold in laughter.

“Well, he hasn’t been around for a while, but who knows? If - you said Punch? - if he’s looking for you, Poultry Man might show up.”

“Oh no! Do you have anything to stop him?”

Grian couldn’t help the sly smile that got onto his face. “Well…”

Grum watched as Mumbo looked through a bunch of books. He had gotten fixed up, but his daddy said there was still something they needed to figure out, so Dad was out doing that. But he had left a while ago and sitting in one place for a long time was getting boring. “Daddy, how much longer do I have to wait here?”

Mumbo jumped slightly before looking up from his book, which just made Grum frown. Obviously he had been forgotten about. “Um, well, I suppose that depends on what your dad does.”

“But I’ve just been sitting here for ages.” Grum crossed his arms.

“I know, but apparently there’s a bug in your system and until we can identify it, we want to keep you safe. You’ve already been through a lot, I’m sure you don’t want anything more happening.”

“But Daddy I-”

“Grum, this isn’t up for discussion.” Mumbo cut the bot off, who flinched back at the harsh tone. “I know. I don’t like it either. But sometimes the harder options are the better ones.”

Grum was quiet again, just thinking. Mumbo started to look at his book again, but then the bot spoke up once more. “Is it about Console? Or my chat in general?”

“What?” Mumbo looked back up, confused.

“Well, Jrum’s not here, so it has to be something that’s just me, correct? That would likely involve when the admin was using me as a console or the fact that I have gained a chat like Techno, Phil and, based on conversation, Dad.”

“Oh, you mean MFDD? At least I’m still pretty sure that’s what we said it was. I’d have to go digging for my old books again. And Grian might have them at this point.”

“What’s MFDD?” Grum asked, tilting his head.

“It’s the abbreviation for the condition we’re pretty sure Grian has. But it’s a condition that last I checked, was still in a sort of odd state, and I’ve been in Hermitcraft since school, so I’m not updated on it.” Mumbo glanced over to Grum, who just looked confused. “Right. Well, the simple version is that’s what the real name of your Dad’s ‘chat’ is. MFDD. But based on what he told me, that’s not what you have.”

“Oh. Wait, I don’t?” Grum asked, sounding worried and slightly panicked.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. It’s nothing bad. I’m sure we’ll need to get it properly diagnosed, but the fact that you seem to have what’s like… multiple people in your mind and they can sometimes be in control, along with the fact that it happened after… stressful events. That all likely means it’s DID. Which essentially means you have multiple personalities.”

“And is that good or bad?”

Mumbo rubbed his mustache. “Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily good or bad in and of itself. I wish I knew more about this… In short, it’s at the very least not bad. Or at least not bad if you don’t let it be bad.”

“I still don’t understand.” Grum frowned, leaving Mumbo to try and figure out some other way to explain.

“Hmm… It’s. Uh… Well let’s see. Well it… no that wouldn’t make sense. It’s… Oh! So, when you’re building, say you make a house. And the house has a bunch of rooms. It’s all one house, but there are different rooms and um… well each one has its own person.” Grum nodded along, mostly understanding. “And well, you own the house even though others live there. Because you own the house, you’re in charge.”

“But sometimes I’m not. Like Console and Eyes decide to be in charge or I let them.”

“Well, sometimes something… happens. Like maybe you’re busy… cooking? And so if you’re doing that, someone else gets to be in charge. Or maybe you just want to… sit on the couch?”

Grum’s digital mustache twitched in thought before he nodded. “Okay, I think that makes sense.”

Mumbo nodded, turning back to his books before sighing, glad that what he made up on the spot worked.

“Mumbooooo! I’m back! I figured out what’s wrong! We need to take the boys to Xisuma!” Mumbo jumped from Grian arriving, then was confused to see two of him.

“Why is Grifter here?”

“Long story, it’s fine for now, we need Xisuma. Let’s go go go!”

Mumbo just stared for a moment before sighing and shrugging before going to get Jrum. It didn’t seem like anything bad was happening, so there was a fifty fifty shot it really was fine. Maybe less since there were two Grian’s involved, but it was something Mumbo came to expect with Grian in general.

🎵 Schlatt? 🥺🥺🥺

Hrrrmgmgn alrighty I got some good good songs I think fit

Dead Inside – Younger Hunger

Thank God That I’m Not You – Himalayas

Jesus Christ – Brand New

more stuff under the read more

okay so listen….. ive had a lot of Thoughts recently abt the Bad Dynamic between schlatt and quackity so I tried NOT to make it all abt that but… listen it’ll be Included jfkdlsjf FOR EXAMPLE SONG ONE

“Hey pretty baby with the sun in your eye You make feel like I'm up in the sky I wanna tell you, wanna make you mine”

“Hey pretty baby, can you feel that heat? You got me twitching to the edge of my seat I take your hand, lead you out to the street”

Mans is flirting, what abt it JFKDLSJFKL

“I’m all talk with a thorn in my side I've got a real big heart That I'm willing to hide You ask me what I want from life I said to make a lot of money And feel dead inside”

OKAY SO the first line? Is true. Schlatt IS all talk, man. he talks big shit but we all saw that in the end it doesn’t mean anything bc he cant back it up. Also, he did (I think) still genuinely care for those who were with him for a long time, like quackity and fundy (ESPECIALLY fundy. Mans didn’t know he was a spy until the final confrontation). But in the end he didn’t do enough for the ppl to put them first, he wanted his power and addiction. Also schlattcoin reference w making money go brrrrrrrr

“To tell you that Your golden hair and pale blue eyelids Make me feel like I might go wild Cheetah print makes me a liar So I tell you I just like you for your smile”

Hohohohooo okay this one is fun bc you can honestly interpret it in many ways based on how you think schlatt viewed his relationship w quackity. “Cheetah print makes me a liar, so I tell you I just like you for your smile” is this abt him gassing quackity up and faking their whole relationship in order to use quackity for his power/votes (thus lying abt liking him for something ABT HIM) or is this an admission of guilt abt him lying abt only liking quackity for his power/votes/”smile” when in reality he cared more than he really expressed?? Honestly you can take it EITHER WAY like bruhhhh its GOOD

OKAY NEXT SONG THIS ONE IS JUST A BANGER VILLIAN SONG PROB @WILBUR TO TAUNT HIM

“I'm a coward, I'm a freak The scum of the earth A liar and a cheat But I could be so much worse”

Okay so. One: Hes a coward bc in the end he doesn’t fight his own battles. Even when confronted WITH a battle he died of a damn HEART ATTACK. Two: he’s a freak could be about him being a ram hybrid (bc dream smp has a furryphobia problems JFKDLSJFK) Three: “a liar and a cheat” he lied his way into the smp and lmanberg by saying he would endorse pog2020 then didn’t, then he “cheated” his way into WINNING by pooling his votes w swag2020.

“You could call me narcissistic You could say I'm of no worth You could call me the scorn of Satan But I could be so much worse”

So im not gonna go into the narcissistic line bc idk if he would apply at all and having an abusive villain be someone w a personality disorder is uhhhh. Kinda Fucky! Anyway fjdkslajfk, goats are often considered a symbol of satan so like…. Eyes emoji

The chorus is LITERALLY just him bashing Wilbur. He KNOWS he’s a piece of shit and he doesn’t care that he is, and he’s using it to push Wilbur further down his spiral. Yeah, sure, he’s awful, but at least he’s not Wilbur

“I'm such a sinner And I have been since birth Full of greed and full of lust But I could be so much worse”

Mans has greed for power (not only getting the presidential role but also expanding lmanberg’s territory) and…... listen that man would NOT stop talking abt quackity’s ass. Full of lust, babey.

“You say I'm hedonistic And a bit too extrovert Described as positively sadistic But I could be so much worse”

The hedonistic line is fun bc hedonism is indulging in pleasures, which I choose to interpret to be about his alcoholism. He throws himself fully into it bc it makes him feel better, ESP as more people leave him.

LAST SONG POG (I didn’t mean for this to be the longest analysis yet jfkdsfjl)

So this one is the most… sympathetic? Idk it just. The vibes. Its contemplative of someone dying and realizing they’ve fucked up a lot. Listen just…. Consider

“Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face The kind you'd find on someone that could save If they don't put me away Well, it’ll be a miracle”

Hhhhhhhhh quackity and schlatt brainrot go brrrrrr. He KNOWS he’s fucked up, he’ll be “put away” which could be killed or exiled.

“Do you believe you're missing out? That everything good is happening somewhere else But with nobody in your bed The night's hard to get through”

EVERYTHING GOOD IS HAPPENING SOMEWHERE ELSE. Everyone left him. His (ex)husband, his secretary of state, even fundy. He’s falling apart bc of it.

“And I will die all alone And when I arrive I won’t know anyone”

Schlatt was the first person to be fully canon dead. He WAS alone, in the afterlife

“Well, Jesus Christ, I’m alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? 'Cause this problem's gonna last More than the weekend”

He drove away EVERYONE. The issue’s gonna last more than the weekend bc it simply cant be fixed. ALSO if you want this not from schlatt’s view, you could see it being that “the problem” is schlatt INFLUENCE. Those closest to him are still traumatized from what he did, Wilbur is GONE entirely and stuck as a shell of himself because of schlatt’s exile. These issues last.

Okay as the song gets more religious ill prob stop analyzing as much bc I do NOT have the authority nor brainpower to go into religious symbolism in this song NOR dream smp right now, but like. Its there if yall wanna go buckwild

“Do I divide and pull apart? 'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark”

In short, schlatt knows he’s fucked up. He doesn’t know what’ll happen when he dies but he knows that he’s done more bad that good so…. Hell time baby JFKLDSJFKL

“I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I’ve had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique”

Ill be real I don’t have good analysis for this line it just makes my brain go brrrrr and I want yall to look at it

“I know you think that I’m someone you can trust But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up”

Once again ignoring the religious context, in short its “I know you think you can trust me and help me but im scared ill just hurt you again instead” and. Hrrm. No one really trusted him near the end sure but like. Hrm. Thoughts Time.
