Hey remember that time Eret tried to revive Wilbur and got pretty freakin close? Yeah so here's my alternate ending. The disc war finale felt like the natural conclusion of Tommy and Dream's arc to me, so I thought what if Dream died for good at that point, and Eret was the one to bring Wilbur back instead?
[looks briefly at the dsmp tag] wow! there was no possible way for them to have ever made a satisfying conclusion to all of those plot threads and characters
this is our first full proper dsmp art, from a bit more than a year ago! i went and checked and its from august of 2021, hehe. so much have happened since then and our designs changed so much lol
For me, the best place for the dsmp to end wouldve either been after doomsday or the finale disc war.
After Doomsday everyone went their seperate ways, this could've led to a callback to tommy and tubbo wanting to run away during Pogtopia where they realise how much everyone around them, including themselves, have changed and instead of making plans to get back at Dream or rebuild again they decide to finally take their lives back from this server and leave to build the cottage in the woods like they planned when it all started going wrong.
Alternatively, the finale disc war itself felt like the perfect conclusion to the server as it returned to the servers roots by having it be Tommy and Tubbo vs Dream for the discs, only to have them be saved by the other members of the server despite everything that they had been through and whose side they were on. For the first time the server was united against a common cause and protected Tommy and Tubbo wherease in the first disc war they only really had each other. Also after they defeat Dream, Tommy speaks to Wilbur and finally gets some form of closure over his death and Wilbur tells him hes proud sincerely for the first time since l'manberg.
Of course this would mean we wouldnt get other storylines such as the Enderwalk in as much depth however those storylines couldve been explored more freely as more independent stories if the "main storyline" of tommy and dream had ended but the server continued. I also think that the pressure for storylines to intertwine made for confusing and farfetched plotpoints but thats for another post
anyways my 2 cents notice how dsmp started to get uh. bad. when suddenly c!dream became a, um, quote unquote "fleshed out character" and not just. "hey this guy is fucked up and straight up evil even if some people that have sided with him are morally grey." just my thoughts tho
