Wilbur Theory - Tumblr Posts

The ghosts on DSMP are left behind as they were seemingly never a part of them. Let me explain.

In the year(ish) leading up to c!Wilbur’s death, he was losing it. He finally built high, his apparent childhood dream. Phil stated that young Will always did just that, he would build something and then destroy it. Wilbur got his country, his people, and all taken from him. He lost everything. He set out to destroy what was once his, blinded by envy. He wasn’t happy. He did not seem happy at all. The only thing he felt when he destroyed it was bliss before immediate regret. He no longer felt like he had a purpose, he completed the next part of cycle. The next step was supposed to rebuild or build something else entirely. It was his unfinished symphony, as he did not break that cycle.

You know who was happy? Ghostbur. He did not have the ability to remember any sad things or to gain new sad memories. He was simply a ghost of what Wilbur no longer was or could be. Will was no longer happy.

I said ghosts as I feel the glimpses we currently have of Ghostboo, he is the same way, except that Ranboo did have happiness, he could feel it. He did, when he was with his family. So, why am I mentioning Boo? The ghost has carelessness, he is not worried. He could seemingly remember everything but he just doesn’t care. He is released from it all, from all the stress. The stress of not having the memory book on him at all times? Nope. Ranboo was not like that, he couldn’t be like the ghost. He cares, he stresses constantly. The ghost could be something they could not.

The ghosts are not the ghosts of the people, but what they could not be. Wilbur could not be happy, Ranboo could not be stress free.
