Ummmm... OKAY THEN! Didnt Expect People To Like My Post From Last Night But, Thank You! Thats Genuinely

Ummmm... OKAY THEN! Didn’t expect people to like my post from last night but, thank you! That’s genuinely made my day!

(Also, people were talking about Philza being the traitor and honestly I have to agree that it would be more surprising than Tubbo XD)

Also expect a kinda ramble later (I’m sorry in advance)

Not a part 2 to my rambling

“I’m gonna post part 2 tomorrow”  

3 days later

“... oops?” 

Okay. So this was gonna be part 2 to my original ramble and in this one I wanted to talk about Dream and Schlatt’s deal but, then I thought about it more and realized there is not much to say since we know almost nothing besides the fact that Dream said “He agreed to something neither Tommy nor Wilbur would agree to” which could mean Schlatt gives Dream Manberg in exchange for still having political power or something else.

Soooo... that’s all I got, sorry for wasting your time?

Okay but imagine, it’s Monday, November 16th. We’ve waited a week for this war, and the fighting is at its highest point. Everyone is neck and neck, and it seems as if Pogtopia can win; they can win back L'manburg, their home. Tommy’s smiling, laughing like an idiot as he and Tubbo stand their ground, Fundy fighting alongside Wilbur (I have no idea where teams stand but imagine everyone siding with Pogtopia basically thinking they’ve won). Then, as Dream seems to be struggling to fight, they hear a single word. “Now.” The discord beeps, indicating that someone joined the call, and before anyone can even react, the in-game chat says “Ph1lza joined the game”. Phil spawns right in the middle of the fighting, his character stares right at Wilbur. Wilbur’s mic is quiet, his expression unreadable, though there is betrayal. Before he can even ask why, Techno walks right up to Phil, passing everyone, sword in hand. “He told you you’d never expect it.” Is all Techno says before the fighting begins again, though the happy Wilbur is gone, now running from the battlefield, towards the button, filled with newly laced with TNT. As he is about to push it, Phil calls out to him, causing Wilbur to turn around. Wilbur finally asks him why; why he’d betray him, why he wouldn’t support him. Phil tells him he wasn’t doing things the right way. He was hurting the people around him; he was being a terrorist, using Tommy and even Tubbo as child soldiers, scaring them and scaring Phil. He tries to calm Wil done, but the button has already been pushed. The TNT hiss is loud and the booms cascade throughout Manburg. Everything is gone, expect from the flag. Schlatt is laughing, as his flag is the only thing that remains after the explosions.

Idk I haven’t written fanfics in a bit and this has just been living in my brain rent-free tbh

How it started vs. How it’s going

So Dream just said there was another traitor and that they would be more surprising than Eret. 

Bet it’s Tubbo.

No reason, I just think it’s so unlikely that it’s hilarious XD

(Really don’t take this too seriously, just thought it would be funny)

Who’s the traitor?

Here’s a legitimate analysis of who I think the traitor might be instead of me just being nostalgic for SMP Earth. The only thing we have to go by right now is that it’s a person who’s siding with Pogtopia and it would be surprising. I will be going through all the relevant people and ranking them from least to most likely, (in my opinion.)  Let’s get started.

Quackity - This is objectively the worst option. Quackity’s entire arc is about how he just wanted to make a change and improve society but instead got trapped in a toxic relationship where he was mistreated and not taken seriously. He’s left that behind and is trying to move past it, so to just have him go back to his abuser would just be shitty writing and kind of gross. 

Eret - This just makes no sense. He’s already betrayed L’manberg once and he clearly regretted it. He’s been very vocal about wanting to fight against Schlatt, and it would just be out of character.

Ponk, BBH, Awesamdude - While these guys are slowly becoming more plot relevant, I seriously doubt it would be any of them. The traitor is almost certainly someone with more plot relevance and emotional ties to the main characters. if any of them betrayed the main characters it wouldn’t feel much like a betrayal.

Niki - Niki has been one of the few characters in this story who has opposed Schlatt all along. She has been incredibly vocal about this, and has rebelled against him since the moment he took office. It would be surprising sure, but incredibly out of character.

Wilbur - I feel like despite being such a loose canon of a character, he would be a fairly unlikely option. I was watching from his perspective and he seemed genuinely surprised when Dream was talking about the traitor, and really annoyed that Dream wasn’t on his side any more. It also wouldn’t be that good of a twist, considering his constantly fluctuating sense of morality.

Fundy - This would make sense character wise. Fundy’s been scorned and shoved aside by his father his whole life. He was spying for Schlatt as a way to make his father proud, but when he gave his father the materials to defeat Schlatt he was shoved aside once more. He’s bitter. Also, he’d probably rather side with his fiancee who loves and respects him rather than his shitty dad. The only reason he’s so low down is because it seems to expected. One of those things Tumblr and Twitter predicted 2 months ago. While I wouldn’t necessarily mind this, I feel like there’s a better option.

Tommy - Tommy has a lot of reason to betray Wilbur. He’s been treated pretty badly and his opinions have been ignored. I can easily imagine a world where he would make a deal with Dream and help him as a way to get L’manberg back. He could also be trying to get the discs back, which is ultimately one of the things he cares about the most. I’ve seen lots of great analysis on this. It would also be a good, surprising twist, the scorned hero turned to the dark side. I’m not convinced it’s him though because he is a very black and white thinker, he firmly believes in good and evil. While he has a lot of reason to, I don’t know if he would actually betray his friends. 

Technoblade - This is one of the most likely options but simultaneously one of the worst options. Wilbur has been convinced that Techno was going to betray him since day one and Techno literally said that he wouldn’t hesitate to betray Pogtopia just to make the final battle a fair fight. Every single person in mcytblr instantly predicted that Techno was going to betray Wilbur and Tommy, literally the moment he joined the server. It’s very likely, but it would be a bad twist. Dream said that the traitor would be the person we would least expect, so while Techno is a very likely option, it would be very much expected. I really don’t want him to be the traitor. I would take almost anything over him, I want a good twist.

Philza - I know a lot of people are saying that it’s stupid to think that he’s the traitor when he isn’t even whitelisted, but hear me out. We all want Phil on the server, we want him to beat some sense into Wilbur and save Tommy and Tubbo from the war zone they had been trapped in. Imagine though, if he joined the server and immediately sided against Wilbur. It would make sense though, he’s been very resistant against Wilbur’s actions. I think it would be most likely if he was the traitor along with Technoblade. It would be a nice call back to SMP Earth and Phil and Technoblade are an incredibly chaotic duo when they come together. It’s a bit unlikely, but it would be the best twist and a great opportunity to get Phil on the server.

Tubbo - Tubbo is the most likely traitor in my opinion. Despite his common front of being a sweet and naive person, he is one of the most morally grey characters on the smp. He will not hesitate to mess with people, destroy things, and is generally a pretty good liar. It would also be very in character. He’s been manipulated and pushed around by practically every person on the server, and he’s surely about to snap. He’s been treated just as bad by Wilbur as by Schlatt. He also lied about having the discs, which was quite suspicious. One of the few reasons why Tubbo might not be the traitor though is Tommy. Despite being morally grey and also lying about the discs I’m not sure that he would betray Tommy.  They made a pact that they would always trust each other and generally have a very codependent relationship. That is why I think that the true traitor is not 1, but 2 people.

Tommy and Tubbo - I said Tubbo was the most likely traitor, but I think that Tommy and Tubbo together would be the best option. Dream said there was a traitor, but as far as I know he never explicitly stated that he was talking about just one person. They would probably make a deal together with Dream either for the discs or to get L’manberg back. It would also be very likely that they would work with Dream but betray him as well. It would be a Good Omens situation, Tommy and Tubbo being their own side and not strictly aligned with the already established sides. This would be good, Tommy and Tubbo were thrust into a war zone at a young age. They’ve spent the entire story being lied to and manipulated by the adults in their lives, and I think they deserve to go apeshit and fuck those guys up, you know, as a treat.
