TW// mentions of tommy’s attempted suicide
because tommy wasn’t actually sure if he was going to be streaming today because of college, this gives me reason to believe that what his character is doing right now isn’t important to the event that’s going to happen, but more so what he’s already done and what he’s left behind.
someone might visit logstedshire today, and see everything blown up (probably ranboo, quackity, or maybe even philza), and a tower in the distance. a one by however much tommy built up, and the only seeming escape from it being a hard hit to the ground. of course whoever sees it is going to go straight back to lmanburg or to tubbo, maybe even dream to tell them, and tommy’s going to be assumed dead, a tragic loss to the community fitting of a disgraced “hero.”
dream’s going to use this for manipulation, sure, but i’m more thinking on the sbi’s reaction to this.
because if techno finds out, he’s either going to have one of those “i told you so” moments due to his detachment to relationships, or he is going to be the most pissed motherfucker we’ve seen on the smp to date. there’s not going to be an in between. maybe techno will stay in retirement, or maybe he’ll swear it off in revenge for his little brother.
think about it, he may have wanted tommy to learn a lesson, but that was tommy’s last canon life. and it would have been lost to suicide, lost because he was driven so far off the edge by people he thought cared about him, and techno did nothing to help. maybe the guilt would drive him to avenge tommy. not everyone comes back as a ghost, as seen by schlatt being nowhere to be found, so tommy’s disappearance wouldn’t be all that unbelievable to point to his death. not only this, but wilbur was already dead. his twin. if he loses tommy, that means that philza really will be the only one techno has left, and he’s one life away from death as a constant hardcore player.
will techno commit to an older brother role? i don’t know, but i think it would add some cool depth to the storyline, and maybe i just want to hear the incredulity in his voice if he finds the raccoon child under his house later in the arc.
for everyone snitching in techno’s chat? that’s metagaming. characters can’t know what happened if they haven’t witnessed it or been told by another character. shut up. it’s rude and annoying.
“i just want you to be safe ghostbur” I’M SOBBING
mild observation: tubbo’s on his last life too
for all you only child’s out there, the shit techno and tommy are doing right now is PEAK sibling behavior

thank you for coming to my tedtalk
i fear the festival today
bruh what is with everyone betraying techno these days smh
AY AYO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS—
i’m just happy that some of the things i said were actually correct! now! onto more theorization of ranboo’s new allegiance and just general discussion because i still have to watch tubbo’s vod
/dsmp /roleplay
so.
ranboo’s with techno and philza now.
not gonna lie, this is the outcome i wanted the most, despite how much i loved ranboo and tubbo’s friendship in rp.
to start us off, ranboo seems a lot happier already, and i’m going to attribute this to the lack of control dream has over these specific two members of the smp. like, let’s be real, there’s no fucking way phil or techno would ever bow to dream. the closest they’ll ever get is a partnership based on mutual agreement, which is what happened today!
now, what happened with ranboo?
why is he so panicked and confused, why is he so scared and fearful of what will happen to him, why does he not understand what he’s done, or could have done?
ranboo was manipulated and hurt, plain and simple, but he wasn’t manipulated by anyone in specific.
he was manipulated by himself.
when the voice of dream said he wasn’t real, that was true. dream i believe is essentially the embodiment of everything ranboo believes is bad, so it manifested in that voice, manifested in his anxiety and fear, manifested in his mind and hurt him because to him? he was bad. there was no explanation for what happened with the community house except for that he was the one who did it. he couldn’t trust himself, he couldn’t trust his memories, so he must’ve done it.
his new allegiance with techno and philza (we all know it’s primarily with phil) i think will be good for him. watching the interactions that ranboo had with the people of l’manburg honestly disappointed me.
tubbo treated him as a friend, but constantly made fun of him and generally ignored his input when others decided to speak
tommy (with techno, but techno pulled tommy back a bit so idk if his involvement is nearly as bad) stressed ranboo out, and interrogated both ranboo and fundy for information without caring for their mental states
quackity wanted ranboo dead ever since he found out about the book, but just in general their interactions seemed very stiff and fake in the beginning. it also doesn’t help that quackity has been different ever since schlatt had died
the side argument that ranboo brings up is true, but it’s also not. sides exist no matter what, because the people are those sides. there will always be sides because there will always be differing opinions. and no matter what, some people with those differing opinions will clash. sides cause a lot of hurt, but there’s nothing else to do but choose.
like fake voice dream said, by not choosing a side, ranboo unintentionally did. the side of neutrality, and the side that abandoned his friends.
ranboo taking this step to choose what he wants rather than what he thought needed to happen is such an important moment. choosing philza is probably ranboo’s best bet right now because he’s going to treat him the kindest out of everyone in ranboo’s options.
tubbo doesn’t trust him
tommy doesn’t trust him
fundy wants him to join his side
quackity wants him to use the sides, and in turn, use him
we don’t know phil’s motivations, but we do know that out of the pure goodness of his heart, he saved ranboo from lava and a canon (maybe) death.
ranboo’s best shot and choice right now is phil because phil pulled him out of that shit state of mind, pulled him away from his panic and fear and offered him a place to go, something that while others offered, also wished for him to fight and use him. phil, at this point in time, doesn’t want to force ranboo to do anything, and that’s the difference between ranboo picking phil, and ranboo picking either fundy or quackity.
ranboo doesn’t have anyone else.
phil is the light at the end of the tunnel, and ranboo choosing to follow it is his first step to the peace he’s been longing for since the beginning.
he’s not being forced to do things, not being dragged into situations that he had no part in, not being hurt and abused by the ideologies that are supposed to be good for him.
with phil?
ranboo can be free
the fact that sapnap has the axe of peace (without plans to give it back) and ranboo plans to remake it for techno—
the symbolism behind that exchange is gonna be really important, and i feel like the exchange itself is gonna be really awkward and really cute
edward is dead life could not be worse
