#while WE know that Techno can take 10 people vs him - he constantly doubts himself. he doesn't have the faith to go on offense

[demonboyhalo]

after learning that Wilbur had been lying to Phil in his letters as early as the Manburg Election, i decided to rewatch the Festival from his POV to see if i could puzzle out a bit of his motivations and -

he told Tubbo to stay strong when getting executed, but ultimately did nothing to save him. he told Tommy that things would be fine, yet made sure the kid would not intervene. Techno stalled Tubbo's execution for as long as he could, lightening the mood, trying to deescalate in the only way he knew how - all while waiting for an order from Wilbur. Wilbur whispered Tubbo, Wilbur whispered Tommy, but the one who was in the position to enact Pogtopia's mission, and needed his command more than anyone? Left in the open with no one to tell him what to do! Yet...we already knew this. Now, with this new insight we have into who Wilbur was as a person during the time, we have to be wondering, what is the deeper reason why the Leader of Pogtopia decided not to intervene in the execution?

#is there more to why Wilbur did what he did that we're going to find out now that he's revived? #..... #wilbur literally reinforced tommy's belief that techno was on their side and that tubbo would be fine #and then stood there doing nothing as Techno stalled #techno DIDNT want to kill tubbo! he did everything he could (within character - he's not as Strong/Confident as people say) to avoid killing #but ultimately gave into his nerves and went with the majority out of fear of being attcked by the Manburg crowd #yet that would have been avoided if Wilbur gave him literally any semblance of a plan. Sir. Please. #i'm not a wilbur anti don't get me wrong #i don't actually blame him. people don't take his trauma/mental health seriously. #but man had some fucked shit going on!! you were their leader sir!!! #i cannot stress how much techno did not expect the festival to turn out how it did #he only went as RECONNAISSANCE - information gathering!! getting secrets from peaceful conversation during the festival games!! #techno only killed tubbo because 1) no one from pogtopia was telling him WTF he was supposed to do #2) it was the Manburg Festival. techno is under the impression that the whole crowd behind him? they'd attack if he disobeyed schlatt #while WE know that Techno can take 10 people vs him - he constantly doubts himself. he doesn't have the faith to go on offense #until he realizes how powerful his bow is. he had never tried it before! #anyways that's a tangent - WILBUR WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVATIONS #why do you do the things you do??? i know your mental is fucked and i don't entirely blame you but tubbo?? didn't need to die?? #why didn't you whisper techno!! yknow - the guy who needs your orders??? why did you whisper tommy and tubbo with fake reassurance?? #SIR PLEASE WHY DIDNT YOU INTERVENE #IM NOT MAD IM NOT EVEN DISSAPOINTED I SYMPATHIZE JUST OPEN THE FUVK UP #me - rattling the bars that lock me out of c!wilbur's POV of the world: LET ME IN #mcyt #dream smp #tommyinnit #tubbo #tommy innit #technoblade #dsmp #wilbur soot
