Okay so, heard about Heat Waves, been reading through the tags, I’m disappointed that people are
Victim blaming the author
Forcing this stuff into mcyt’s faces and acting like its an accomplishment to be proud of when they are forced to acknowledge it.
I’ve got some thoughts about this entire mess, but I don’t have all the information and if someone could TLDR it or send me a post that explains the mess that be amazing.
Day 5, color. Here’s a newish DND character, she has no name yet though. She’s part of a homebrew race I’m workin on.
You've been cast into a fictional setting, and you don't get to pick your genre. This wheel picks it for you.
This post broke my phone, as I tried to scroll past everything froze. My phone wouldn’t even turn off

Wilbur Soot: A Late Night Character Study
My thoughts are in no way organized, it’s 4 in the morning where I live but I have some thoughts I’d like to share. I’ve been watching the most recent streams and the amazing animatics the people in the community have made. I was watching tamato jam’s video in particular and it made me realize something.
Wilbur Soot as a character is a tragedy from start to finish.
He’s a man who has strived to be the leader, father, and brother, everyone wanted him to be. But in his attempts to be the man others wanted he pushed others away, unknowningly hurting them.
In the SMP Sleepy Bois Inc backstory we’ve been given, it’s heavily implied that Wilbur is the oldest of Philza’s kids. He’s held to much higher standards then his siblings, he’s gotta be the responsible adult, he’s gotta take care of his siblings, he’s had to grow up much faster than he should have.
Post-L’Manberg Revolutionary War, Wilbur feels like every is looking to him to fix L’Manberg, he feels like they are looking to restore L’Manberg to how it was before, but that’s impossible. But it reality they just want to rebuild L’Manberg and try again.
During the Manberg/Schlatt Arc, it gets worse, more betrayals. To Wilbur, everyone is building upon the corrupted foundation that Wilbur’s tried so hard to fix, to him no-one but Tommy was trustworthy. But Tommy is steadily chased away by Wilbur’s downward spiral.
Wilbur was completely blindsided by the betrayals of the people he loved and would’ve done anything to protect. His friend, the man he fought to the bitter end along side, betraying him for empty promises. The son he loved, the son he would have given the world to, betraying him for empty promises. His family betrayed him.
Wilbur now fully believes that L’Manberg as an ideal is gone, all that’s left is its broken remains. What do you do with a foundation that can’t be saved? You destroy it. At the end of it all he truly believes blowing up L’Manberg will bring him peace but because he left his story unfinished he’s stuck as a ghost. He’s terrified of who he was before, he’s remembering and it hurts.
Also can we address the fact that Ghostbur/Wilbur says he only remembers happy things but then he immediately says he remembers Philza, HIS DAD, killing him.
In conclusion Wilbur was a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders and he eventually shattered like a glass thrown at the wall. As a ghost he tries to be happy but the past is never going to let him go till he faces it.
Wilbur Soot as an actor and writer is phenomenal and it’s absolutely gut-wrenching.
Tubbo and Tommy: A character and character dynamic study.
Neither are the villain here.
Both are 16 year olds, raised during war. Tubbo is doing everything they can to protect and lead L’Manberg. Chaos and destruction is all Tommy knows and he gave up his prized possessions, the discs to save L’Manberg. Now they stand on opposing sides because Dream is the villain scared of losing power.
Dream let L’Manberg have independence but took the discs in trade for it because he wanted a backup plan. If L’Manberg became too big of a threat to Dream’s power he’d just use the discs to manipulate Tommy, Wilbur’s right hand man.
History is repeating AGAIN. It’s a running theme in the SMP and until someone realizes this and puts an end to it history will keep repeating.
Tommy will start down the path to destruction that Wilbur walked. But, perhaps with Ghostbur’s help, Tommy will stop before it’s too late. He’ll break the cycle and I think Ghostbur will be integral to it, after all he was a part of it. Tommy is one half of Wilbur’s character parallel.
Now onto Tubbo.
Tubbo, like Wilbur, has the weight of the world on their shoulders. Tubbo is the other half of Wilbur’s character parallel. Tubbo is doing what they think is best for the nation. On top of what happened with Tommy, Tubbo is constantly being underminded and mocked by the cabinet members. Tubbo is probably gonna feel like everyone has betrayed them, much like Wilbur did.
Tubbo and Tommy are parallels to Wilbur.
In conclusion, Tubbo and Tommy, like everyone else, are incredibly in-depth characters. Neither of them are the villain, they’re kids with a metric fuck ton problems, their own and others, to deal with.
Big T is finally living up to his title.
After like a week of no update I’ve returned!
Imagine Techno leaving out gear and supplies for Tommy while continuing to pretend that he’s unaware of Tommy being there.
Philza gets in on it too, he leaves out more special gear like enchanted weaponry or more sturdy gear. He eventually leaves out an entire outfit for Tommy so he doesn’t freeze out there.
Tommy names his weapons after Techno, Philza, and Tubbo. ‘Boar’s Tusk’ ‘Harpy’s Talon’ and ‘Bee’s Stinger’
Tommy was given a sad face mask by Dream. Tommy broke the mask as an act of defiance towards Dream.
There’s a lot of angst in the Dream SMP right now so I’ve come bearing some fluff for you all.
Ghostbur noticing Tommy is shivering a lot so he finds his old coat and wraps it around Tommy’s shoulders. The coat is well insulated and very comfortable, Tommy appreciates it.
Ghostbur singing to Tommy to calm him down after a nightmare or to lull him to sleep.
Tommy having his loadstone compass as a necklace.
Philza getting super cold in the arctic base with Techno, his wings puffing up like a bird’s. So Techno pulls off his heavy fur-lined cape and drapes it over Phil’s shoulders till they get their new outfits.
Phil being absolutely swamped in the cape because he’s much shorter than Technoblade who is already super tall to begin with.
