I Saw A Post That I Really Loved By @gabnapp And Wanted To Share Some More Ways In Which The People On

I saw a post that I really loved by @gabnapp and wanted to share some more ways in which the people on the SMP show love to eachother:

1. Tommy always helping Tubbo read things the moment he notices him struggling

2. Karl helping George instantly whenever he gets stressed because of his colourblindness because although Karl’s is only mild, he still sympathises with George and doesn’t see it as a joke

3. Phil always letting Wilbur crash his streams purely because Wilbur needs that socialisation, so Phil just sits back and allows Wilbur to speak whatever is on his mind

4. Sam making sure nobody on the smp goes unappreciated e.g gifting BBH 50 subs because he didn’t think it was fair BBH had to gift them to himself

5. Sapnap making sure George didn’t feel like he was being excluded from living with Dream and Sapnap by offering for them to share a room

6. Phil and Wilbur building their house on Origins SMP close to the water so Niki can still socialise with them

7. When George begins to get frustrated in a game so Sapnap makes it his mission to avenge him and brighten the mood

8. Skeppy being so desperate to meet Bad that he donated 50k to make it happen

9. When clowning George goes too far so Quackity switches sides and starts to defend him

10. When George will pause whatever he’s doing, even if he’s in the middle of being killed, to say goodbye to Bad when he leaves a call

11. Ponk gushing about the effect Dream and George have had on his life any chance he gets

12. Ant and Bad always acknowledging eachother when their comments fall flat in a busy call

13. Eret reacting to the events of the lore on the smp with enthusiasm despite not really keeping up with it

14. Everyone participating in Karl’s Tales of The SMP streams even if it doesn’t really benefit them or push their lore along

15. George and Dream calling eachother everyday, sometimes for even 10 hours, but still getting excited when the other joins a call

16. When Sapnap begins to get genuinely angry in a game so George and Bad let him get his anger out

17. When George was getting too many donations so Sapnap started helping him read them and answer them

18. Tubbo and Tommy always being excited to join a call together despite having done it hundreds of times

19. Ranboo always laughing at Tubbo’s commentary, even if nobody else is

20. When everyone stops to let Niki speak because she’s quite soft spoken and can’t be heard over all their shouting

21. When Puffy calls out when she thinks somebody on the server is genuinely upset

22. George genuinely getting excited over any of Sam’s or Foolish’s builds and appreciating them

23. Bad and Skeppy having almost every video on their channels based around eachother

24. Punz being like a patient brotherly figure to the Dream Team and helping them whenever they need

25. When the bigger SMP streamers make sure to raid the member of the SMP with the least views at the time in order to boost their follower count e.g Dream raiding Ponk, George raiding Foolish and Bad raiding Hannah

Wilbur threatening Ksi with "Step into L'manburg! Step into L'manburg and say that!" Or something like that and Tubbo saying "He'll write you out!" And Tommy saying "Yeahhhh" In the back is a perfect summary of the Dream Smp. The storyline and the smp itself.

It always annoys me a bit when Wilbur talks about how he's not good at character driven stories/character writing. Like, sir. You literally wrote alivebur and ghostbur, two very distinct and interesting characters who people still haven't fully figured out. People have been analysing these fuckers, (alivebur specifically) for months and there's still so much to uncover. Tbh, Wilbur's pretty self deprecating in general and it makes me a little sad.

You have articulated the exact point I have tried to make so many times. Wilbur’s characters are literally the most complex characters in the entire Dream SMP and I am willing to argue that forever. 

Alivebur is so complex that both fans AND CONTENT CREATORS tend to split his character by arc (L’Manbur, Pogtopiabur, ‘Vilbur’). 

Can we please discuss how cc!Wilbur had Fundy read “Ozymandias” WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION STORYLINE BEGAN, and then during his “Are we the bad guys?” speech, Alivebur BROUGHT UP THE POEM and said he was beginning to understand what the king in the poem had felt. 

Ghostbur saw Alivebur as the villain in everyone’s history. He was happy when Phil killed Alivebur and considered Phil a hero, but when he saw Phil destroy L’Manburg he questioned how Phil could consider himself to be the good guy in this scenario. And I don’t even think people have fully touched on Ghostbur’s relationship with Dream, which I found really fascinating. 

In summary: SHUT THE FUCK UP WILBUR SOOT AND ACCEPT MY PRAISE! 

I was in physics class and my friend texted me and told me Tommy died. I’m happy my camera wasn’t on cause I’m crying and I look like a red mule.

Thoughts on the opinion that Wilbur dying meant he escaped all consequences and should therefore be punished when he gets revived? I kinda hate it but I can’t quite articulate why

Hard disagree on that opinion, to be honest.

For a start - is death not a punishment at all? Regardless of if you want it or not, death isn’t a bloody good thing, and we don’t know enough about his experiences in the afterlife to evaluate what happened to him there.

Second - is what Ghostbur experienced not a punishment? He was forced to experience what everybody else went through - he built L’Manberg and watched it explode against his will. If he comes back with Ghostbur’s memories, then hasn’t he already been punished?

Third - Wilbur already thinks everybody hates him, and already believes himself to be a terrible person. That’s like, one of the reasons he felt he had to die. He was surprised that Tommy kept Dream alive for his sake. I don’t know what reaffirming this will do to him, but it can’t be good.

Fourth - Let’s be real, Wilbur’s entire life has been an long series of punishment. Tried to make a free nation? No, war. Tried to hold an election? No, exile. He’s not like Dream, or Technoblade, who never ever experienced consequences prior to s3. I’d wager the claim that he was one character who consistently experienced negative consequences for everything he did, good or bad.

I think, if anything, Wilbur’s eventual redemption shouldn’t come from detached punishment, it should come from actually making it up to the people he hurt. Having conversations, being open, being apologetic. Putting him in prison, or something, will literally achieve nothing of value.
