It's Bittersweet But I Can't Think Of Any Other Way This Could End Tbh - Tumblr Posts
Ironic that my first DSMP lore analysis here is about a character who's arc is ending but here we go.
I heard people have been having thoughts on how C!Wilbur's arc is disappointing because it was set up that he is going to be this massive big deal in Season 3 and he will blow shit up again and save his Dreamie Hero and play the main villain again mwahahahaha!
And while that is fair, I expected that as well, maybe this quiet end and resolution that I am sensing CC!Wilbur is starting... Miiiiiiiight be the point?
We've seen C!Wilbur entrenched with the need to be relevant. His symphony, his legacy. C!Wilbur liked playing these roles of Hero or Bad Guy. This need to be seen being a core part of his character, especially with what little we've seen with him and C!Philza's relationship ("I hope he's proud of me), and a popular interpretation of what makes C!Quackity intriguing to him ("Someone who looks at him, not as "insane" not as 'evil' or a 'freak' but rather just unpredictable. Human. This is exciting for Revivedbur. He feels human again.")
So wouldn't it be poetic if C!Wilbur's ending isn't a bang but a whimper?
That sounded negative but hear me out.
Instead of chasing for importance and trying to become relevant in his story, his final arc which CC!Wilbur has mentioned was mostly gonna be just himself, is about him letting all of that go.
He doesn't need to go out in a blaze of glory like his first death, neither does he need to go out at all. I like one of the posts here saying that C!Wilbur is just gonna have to learn to instead just... Live.
From what I can tell with the whole "I don't have anymore plans for Ghostbur" and "That doesn't mean I'm leaving the server or that C!Wilbur is no longer gonna exist" (both rough quotes) that Death isn't the finality for his character. It isn't his bow on top, not if CC!Wilbur wishes to keep C!Wilbur around despite no longer streaming his POV in the SMP.
Nah, I have a prediction that once his final arc occurs, C!Wilbur is gonna have the same role as Ghostbur has in Season 2, simply vibing but not very important to the plot. He's just a character that simply gets to exist, and that's fine, that's a perfect end for somebody who's story is as messy and as harsh as C!Wilbur's.
And hey, just because his story is finish doesn't mean he's gonna be gone indeed, remember that. We've ended major arcs before (Disc Wars and L'Manberg) and yet the server is still going. These characters still exist. I may not get everything correctly in this prediction / analysis of what I think CC!Wilbur was going for... But I'd be happy if my guess got a few things right. Legitimately makes me excited.
