woe cwilbur be upon ye. as promised here are my designs for every cwil era/stage/what have you + my reasons behind each design. design breakdown will be under the read more :>

as a disclaimer going forward: these designs are heavily informed by my own headcanons (namely the nature spirit headcanon, which i will only briefly explain here- if you want more of a background on that here's where I first shared the hc and explained it a bit) i'll be honest idk how much of these hcs/analysis abides by canon? so if you prefer to closely abide by canon this may not be for you. having said that, let's get into this. So one question that may initially come to mind when looking over this is "Why a nature spirit?" which is a reasonable question all things considered. I've already gone over the Watsonian explanation in the past, so instead I'll cover the Doylist take- which is more interesting as it pertains to these designs. Wilbur, as I see her, is a character that has many faces- she warps and changes to embody the view of herself she sees as necessary for the situation, whether that be the revolutionary or the villain. Simultaneously he has this core that's deeply eccentric and often difficult for the characters around him to grasp- this can come in the form of benign weirdness to the struggles with mental illness we see him go through throughout his various arcs. There's this push and pull between the person they want to portray and who they are fundamentally that's always at play.

Them being a nature spirit embodies this to an extreme. As a nature spirit their physical form is informed by their self perception (the one that's warped by the role they feel they need to take) and their own mental state, both aspects of the character that are foundational.

Another question that may arise upon reading all of this is "Why not just make him a shapeshifter?" which is also a valid question. Truthfully this one is rooted heavily in my own ideas of the character, so you'll have to take that with a grain of salt. I am, unfortunately, prone to making shit up /lh With that in mind however, the reason I choose nature spirit over shapeshifter is that, the way I interpret it, it's much more... animalistic? Let me explain: the way I tend to see shapeshifters portrayed is either a. having a base form that's relatively humanoid and then multiple other forms or b. having no base form but still presenting as generally humanoid. As a nature spirit Wilbur has a natural (ba-dum-tsss) tie to well... nature, and all that lives within it.

She's this manifestation of the wilderness whose form isn't even naturally human, yet she shapes herself into something presenting as such. As a nature spirit Wilbur occupies this weird nebulous space between human and beast, never fully embodying either. I find this incredibly interesting for a character that wants to feel and to be treated as human so badly, one that also clearly resents being seen as monstrous (despite leaning into that perception of themselves)

TLDR; Wilbur's 50 contradictions in a trenchcoat (literally) and being a nature spirit gives these contradictions/masks/ect. a physical manfiestation Now that we're 500+ words of analysis in, let me breakdown each individual stage :3 /lh

Pre-SMP + L'manburg

The most "human" Wilbur ever gets here- technically these two are different designs/eras but they have similar design notes so I'm lumping them together here

During this stage of his life Wilbur has a fairly good handle on his shapeshifting and is consciously choosing to look more human

Small details like the fangs, pointed ears, claws, and pupils allude to an inhuman nature. I like to think there's something uncanny valley about them- they look human but the longer you look at them the more small discrepancies you notice

Both look relatively generic appearance wise, if you can't tell this was Wilbur's "I am a Normal Human Man era" but with slightly more gender /lh

Decided to stick Wilbur in a different outfit Pre-SMP than the actual skin most people reference, mostly because I thought it'd be fun. The trenchcoat follows her throughout her development

Lots of goofy ass patches and pins on the coat

I personally hc that Wilbur always has some sort of oversized clothes on because it's a bit like a security blanket for him, very grounding and all that- anyways that's what the trenchcoat is here

Limited notes on L'manburg era- main thing is the glasses; they got cracked in conflict and they just never bothered to fix em

Pogtopia

As a result of stress (and personal perception) Wilbur lost control over his shifting entirely

Wilbur views their nature as inherently monstrous, thus when they think of themselves as monstrous or evil they lose most of their human appearance

Much taller in this form than usual, this reflects both how she feels she's perceived and how she perceives herself (monstrous, scary, inhuman, ect. ect.)

Their height also serves to emphasis the claustrophobic nature of the ravine and especially the button room

Eye color changes from brown to red, yet again another thing which reflects his self loathing

Coat is the same one worn pre-smp, just with some adjustments

Pins & patches removed from the jacket (my friend suggested it saying that he "ripped them out because they were too happy" and I find that mental image particularly silly so it stays)

Covered in stains, partially because the ravine is just. awful. and partially because this thing is not taking care of herself even a little bit

Lenses are even more cracked than they were during the revolution

Ghostbur

This section has a lot less points then the others on account of Ghostbur being fairly self explanatory, but shhhhhh

Reverted to "base form" post death, form is extremely fluid as a ghost- she tends to shift depending on the topic of conversation or the person she's speaking with (Explain being: whenever she talks about "alivebur" she becomes more human)

Less of a note and more rambling: fox ghostbur is especially fun to me given the hatred Wilbur has for Ghostbur. Ghostbur physically reflecting the parts of Wilbur that they hate the most in themselves

For Wilbur their base form- just a normal widdle fox- represents vulnerability. It is quite literally a small, fuzzy animal with little means to defend itself and it is also the culmination of everything Wilbur is running from. Ghostbur embraces this form fully yet is seen as more palatable by the people around her than Wilbur ever was

Constantly leaking a jammy, blue substance from his eyes and the cut in his chest, yucky

Especially long sections of "fur" like their tail and the back of their neck are constantly "dripping" little wisps like rain

Post-Revival

Post-revival his shifting is still fucked up (thank the mental illness for that) but he's got a slightly better handle on it, enough to look semi-human

Eyes have reverted back to brown but their lenses are tinted red anyways (often looks red)

The coat makes a comeback, edges are all fucked up from the explosion

That funky little overcoat/cloak/ect. got yoinked by Niki

Disheveled appearance meant to reflect her rancid ass mental state- namely the hair and the facial hair. Hair is grown out because she can't be bothered to cut it (you bet that shit is full of knots)

Nasty awful smeared eyeshadow as a treat <3 (I just think he deserves to be a little cunty yk?)

Got a little tired near the end here which is why the points got a bit sloppy, maybe I'll add more at a later date who knows. If you made it this far I hope you at least enjoyed reading all of this :>

once again I have been given permission to be delusional so here we go again!

CHARTS FIRST—THEN EXPLANATION

This is it

Disclaimer: if you don’t headcanon cPunz and cPurpled to have had a sibling-like relationship then this won’t make sense and that’s okay. Another thing, if you don’t see cPurpled to be manipulated by cQuackity, that is alright and your personal opinion : )

Purpled and Tommy are both in the roles of children who have had difficult decisions placed upon them by their manipulators/society in general, and their choices are seen as good or bad depending on who is viewing them.

They have had important things ripped permanently away from them, also by said manipulators (Dream basically influencing it), Purpled’s important thing being his UFO, Tommy’s important thing being L’manberg. Funny enough, both of these things were considered to be their home/place of refuge, and Both were blown up unexpectedly.

Both of them were in places they were brought to by their manipulators and wanted to get away from, and did! Tommy escaped his exile that he was brought to by Dream, and Purpled left Las Nevadas that Quackity wanted him to join. Circumstances are different but if I squint I can make it a parallel.

Quackity and Dream were the manipulators in this situation. They targeted the vulnerability and the insecurities of their victims, and managed to break them down.

They attempted, to varying degrees, to play some nice game with their victims. Both wanted their victims to depend on them.

Both of their victims eventually had an upper hand moment for revenge.

Both of the victims wanted to kill their manipulators at some point.

Both of their victims had plans to close the bad chapters in their lives, ONLY TO BE KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.

Punz and Wilbur played older sibling figures who harbored dislike towards the victim’s manipulators at SOME point in time, or all of the time. While this is my weakest parallel, it is still a parallel I need to make in order to complete the triangle.

Both Punz and Wilbur played older sibling figures who tried to convince the younger brother figures to do things—to be on THEIR side. Purpled and Tommy had contrasting feelings to their older sibling figures, but I like to think Purpled used to have a positive relationship with Punz, just like Tommy used to have with Wilbur. Both the younger sibling figures have Neutral/Negative feelings towards the older sibling figures now.

Both Punz and Wilbur were in positions where they were on opposing sides to their younger brother figures, whether it was known or Not. Punz’s instance being his loyalty to the Eggpire while Purpled betrayed it at the red banquet (despite Punz not being in attendance), and Wilbur’s instance being his betrayal to L’manberg, Tommy’s home and greatest ambition.

That’s all I got : )

ik y’all are here for Outsiders but Jesus Christ- in case ya haven’t noticed, I rewatched Risky Business recently and it has wrecked me

like i watched it a while ago and thought it was weird but funny and a little uncomfortable. But now holy shit. I’ve put like actual thought into it. I get it now. I could write an essay about it. I swear I could.

Something about the combination of weird offbeat comedy, the tragedy of Lana’s story that only is fully acknowledged in the director’s cut, Joel’s obvious inexperience and teenage-ness that shines through in everything he does without coming off as stupid or overly naive…the way Lana’s just a kid too but is forced to grow up so so fast…

the Reagan-era politics that I’m not educated enough to analyze properly…

“Looks like University of Illinois!”

…The fact that Joel ends up successful while Lana doesn’t even though she did the majority of the work because he has privileges she can’t even dream of…and the way that kinda reflects reality with how Risky Business made Tom Cruise a movie star while Rebecca De Mornay (and the director too) faded to relative obscurity…

And fuckin Curtis Armstrong’s character (he’s always amazing in everything ever I think)

Just. My thoughts ain’t the most coherent rn- But holy shit this movie man. Like everyone knows the dancing ‘round in briefs scene -and I mean, fair enough it is classic, I’ll admit- but lord there’s so much more to it and it’s a shame that all I ever hear folks talk about is that. Like I ain’t even touched on the soundtrack yet or the vague surrealist feel or how relatable and human Joel Goodson is- augh
