Ranboo In The Middle Of A Mental Breakdown:

why is c!dream so scary

with the whole confirmation that the festival will be happening tomorrow, it’s important to realize some key similarities and differences with the event and the people involved in said event.

similarities:

the event is staged to hurt someone. the festival that schlatt planned was all about hurting tubbo, revealing tubbo. this winter festival has some minor differences, but the essence of violence and revenge, the main point of hurting someone for what they did is still there no matter how deserved it might be viewed in the eyes of the cabinet.

differences:

everyone says tubbo is acting like schlatt, that tubbo’s the next schlatt, but we don’t actually see much of the same mannerisms shared between those characters. you know who we do see it in though? quackity.

tubbo is a child, a traumatized one who, when he finally decides to grow some sort of backbone and make decisions for a country he leads, is compared to what we would equate to his abuser. he is no schlatt, his trauma has shaped him away from that mentality, but quackity on the other hand...

quackity is the one we see claiming that l’manburg needs revenge on techno, the person who orchestrated the entire butcher army before he had any “government” approval. he wants revenge in the same ways schlatt wanted, encouraged tubbo when he put forth the idea for the festival, and has just been altogether violent and reckless towards the things he feels has betrayed him. this is what compares quackity to schlatt. schlatt wanted revenge on tubbo for his spying habits, so he orchestrated an entire festival to become the end of one of his lives in a purely spiteful manner, nevermind the fact that the people he was so angry against were very vocal about their standings before he was inaugurated. that anger is similar with quackity and techno’s relationship (boutta become a bit of a techno apologist): techno was upfront with all of his beliefs in the beginning, and yet the people of l’manburg were surprised when he felt betrayed at their formation of government.

quackity is acting like a mentor to tubbo, which is why we see these comparisons of tubbo to schlatt. tubbo is being encouraged into that kind of behavior by quackity despite his attempts to stay away from it. however, his morals remain very much intact, which is a key difference between him and schlatt that i feel will be revealed when he is forced to make a big decision. will he choose a violent path and become a more hardened and cruel version of himself, or will he fall back to his past self and reactions? quackity is holding the reigns here, and it’ll be tubbo’s decision on whether or not he wants to stay in his seat.

this is more of a personal tidbit, but though i believe ranboo will be found out likely at the festival or sometime very soon, i doubt tubbo would actively wish for someone to go through what he did at his own self-decorated funeral. dream is a bit of an outlier here when it comes to these canon death possibilities, as because he is considered the server admin, he probably has an unlimited amount (or at least vastly higher amount) of lives due to his ownership of the smp. kinda like a god freebie, if you will.

tubbo will either let quackity make the decision when (not if) they find out about ranboo’s book (which 9 times out of 10 will end in ranboo losing a canon life), or he will make it himself, hopefully without any of quackity’s input.

what’s hilarious is that this genuinely could be both, because anyone with a sibling knows that attempted murder is always a when of the trip

Ranboo just breaks out the sword from his hotbar, staring at the back of Tubbo 

and softly goes, “no, no, no.” while switching back to the trident and the steak.

Lore or a bit?

kinda /srs cause mentions of mental disorder portrayal (the lack there of, actually. which, good on you, ranboo!)

i’ve seen this a lot and figured i should make this known for those who don’t know:

ran and boo as separate entities for ranboo’s character is not canon.

ranboo’s character having disassociative identity disorder (DID) is not canon.

ranboo’s character has (correct me if i’m wrong) confirmed anxiety, but his character does not have DID, as he stated on his twitter alt that he does not have the knowledge nor facilities to play such a character accurately as well as in a way that would not offend anyone (simply because he does not have the disorder himself nor know nearly enough about it).

the idea has been floating around a lot, and while it is a cool idea in the sense of representation (depending on how those who have DID feel about it), it is not canon and should probably only be headcannoned and written about if you have the disorder, know someone with the disorder who can give you accurate information and read over your work, or have extensively researched it to ensure it is not portrayed incorrectly (and no, that last one would not mean only reading the wikipedia page of the disorder).

tldr: c!ranboo having DID is not canon; it’s likely fine to headcanon while taking into account the reasons above (again, depending on how those with DID feel toward the subject), but you probably shouldn’t push for it in donos or in the chat because of what ranboo has stated on the subject, which you can check ranboo’s alt on twitter for!

disclaimer: i do not have DID, and i do not claim to speak for any of those who do. i am simply stating the canonized (or rather, non canonized) traits of ranboo’s character :)

OKAY IM JUMPING ON THIS QUICK BECAUSE RANBOO’S STREAM JUST ENDED

/dsmp /roleplay

the “hallucinations”? AMAZING

his acting, the enderman noise at the end, the creepy disc playing to the end of the stream before going offline? CHEF’S MOTHERFUCKING KISS

ranboo as a character is so genuinely interesting, and i can’t wait for what’s next, but i’m going to query this specific statement.

what does ranboo mean by “last time”?

all of this choosing of sides, the loss of friendships and trust, ranboo’s general understanding of these relationships, he said it’s happening just the same and he needs to stop it. stop what happened last time from coming to pass again.

ranboo has canonical memory loss, and only remembers big and important events, which obviously means this “last time” is incredibly important to his storyline. repetitive history seems to be common in the dream smp, so i’m wondering if we’ll be receiving more lore about ranboo tomorrow, as this now does seem to be a ranboo-centric arc.

the book, his memories, the “last time” is all tying together into one big and terrifying bow. the smile in the notebook clearly mocking ranboo, the manipulation in his panic room by hearing dream, learning that ranboo could have possibly blown up the community house? ranboo seems to be the main man right now, and with how that stream ended, i’m excited.

but let’s backtrack a little bit to what happened before the panicking half-enderman got yelled at.

no one, i repeat, no one is on tommy’s side. do not forget that. they band together to kill dream, and band together to protect l’manburg. they don’t care about tommy.

even niki: “i hate liars!”

tubbo moving to give the disc to dream

fundy stating he isn’t on tommy’s side verbally

quackity completely removing affiliation from l’manburg (to commit his terrorism, but it still counts)

puffy siding with niki

eret siding with l’manburg but not tommy

ranboo just generally panicking about the situation

tommy’s betrayal (again) of techno, who will likely tell phil

tommy may be a natural leader, but no one is with tommy. they help for the greater good of l’manburg, but that is where their allegiance ends.

do not forget that.
