[begin id] a drawing of c!awesamdude as the warden (minecraft mob)! he has a human-ish face with a crown and gas mask, and the horns/body of the mob. the souls in his chest are in the shape of dream, technoblade, ranboo, ghostbur, tommy, and connor. they're intended to be a little creepy looking! [end id]

the warden as a warden! this was @druid-for-hire 's idea, please check them out!! they are not only an insanely skilled illustrator but also so creative and fun :D

None of this would’ve happened if ConnorEatsPants was still alive.

That one meme going around with my two comfort characters; Mafuyu and Connor

The difference in character is enough to induce whiplash tbh

[quackcicle-real]

was thinking abt it today and connor is soooo fucking tragic augh. im unnormal and have the dsmp heavily headcanoned but please listen

connor is so desensitized to everything. hes seen the past, hes seen the future, and he just has to live with it.

i just think we could talk more about the true tragedy and isolation within c!connor as a character. hes one of the only time travellers on the server, and the whole reason he joined the server was dead right before he managed to find him.

hes a timeless man trapped, hes seen more than any person should.

Karl, about Sapnap and Quackity: I have very positive feelings of attraction for them, but I also kinda wanna... punch them in the arm.

Connor: You just described a crush.

@lim4b3ans asked; Yo, could I get a web weaving for a c!connor introject who was very close with tommy? I didn't mean to get attached (im immortal and he is so, so very human) but he was angry and lashing out and I guess it reminded me of schlatt?

So since I have some time now:

Here are my overall thoughts of c!Wilbur's penultimate lore stream that came out yesterday

I haven't rewatched it or anything, think of this as the overall review, with both some compliments and some criticism because I love this character and have been so invested on him for so long, I will always want what's better for his overall arc. So that's the "some negativity ahead" warning

First off: This stream was real fucking funny, especially after Connor shows up. It really exemplifies the weird ass things that can happen on this server as part of a larger and darker narrative while being completely silly, and that's the stream's strongest point aside from some neat character lines here and there. The humour is great, fantastic... But I need to complain about how especially the pacing leads this to feel like half-baked lore in the larger scheme of things and the humour alone can't get me to look away from the issues (I will say nice things down there too though, it's not like I disliked it completely or anything)

So, let's start with the beginning. Wilbur was in the community house, Niki appears, we go into confrontation and Wilbur apologizes mode. Very much expected since it's been the formula since the Tubbo apology stream.

My biggest issue here is how none of Niki's worst things are brought up, like the fact that she freed Dream from prison, that she fully intended to kill Tommy and blame Tubbo for it, that she burnt down the L'mantree and abandoned the l'manburgians when they were already down, sabotaging them, instead she demands Wilbur to be aware that he abandoned her, yada, yada. Not what I wanted, but again, very much expected since it's been a reoccurring issue since my own judas that characters at fault for many things just default to berating Wilbur while he folds like a lawn chair and their own misdeeds are never brought up so everything lacks a sense of balance and feels very rushed.

On that rushed sentiment: holy hell this one was rushed. After they go back and forth a bit, Wilbur apologizing, Niki saying that he left and never acknowledging that he was dead on the ground and six feet under, Wilbur apologizing, the fact that Wilbur did what he could for Niki during Pogtopia regarding the circumstances until the very end, ultimately getting her a place in, being willing to sacrifice himself for her and getting her a fox to fight for since the hope for L'manburg was practically lost by that point is barely brought up at all since it's one of those "Wilbur gets berated now" moments. But then, abruptly, it ends, and before Wilbur can get too spat on unlike previous lore streams (which I at least appreciate, because that gets tiring. Still would be much better if we could... You know... Explore the other character's misdeeds while Wilbur was dead as well), Niki switches on a dime, telling Wilbur that she missed him anyway, going from antagonizing to friendship in a second. Which could be done right, as in a "in the height of emotions they both break and cry because they're just so glad to eachother again under all the anger and hurt" way, but it just... Wasn't. It was too abrupt a change, we didn't get enough of an emotional high for it to be the payoff, and it feels disappointing with how much buildup this apology in particular has gotten (Wilbur had been preparing to talk to Niki since before even talking to Eret and has mentioned her every apology stream without fail. This HAD to be the big one before like... Tommy and possibly Quackity) and how we KNOW that Niki feels about Wilbur

She openly said that he was "invading her safe space" when catching wind of him being alive and residing at Phil's (In Techno's birthday stream). She believes that he betrayed her and left her on purpose and used her (unfounded and ridiculous as those claims are, like... Give us something, there's so much of an emotional punch to the gut hiding there just below the surface without going the "steps all over wet cat Wilbur" way either. Just say more, give it more spice, make it feel real, and maybe have Wilbur say something deeper about all he did for her in Pogtopia for once aside from "yeah, I'm sorry, I left you" and have THAT be the emotional break where they realize they can't be mad anymore, or something)

So anyways, there's the cute cake scene which I will give props to. That scene elevates the stream, because it's the kind of casual, more improv-based and neat little character building moments that I miss so much. We get Wilbur establishing that Niki taught them how to bake back in L'manburg. It calls back to her bakery, echoing all she lost, it gives you a mental image of those better times in L'manburg where they could afford to have a nice time and learn how to bake, and by contrast, how far they've all fallen. It establishes that Wilbur sucks at baking and put too much salt in, thinking it was right, but all with the good intention of giving Niki something nice as a gift to eat, and if anything summarizes Wilbur's constant struggles with wanting to be better for everyone else but not getting it quite right despite his intentions, it's that. Cute scene, funny, character building, good for analysis, 11/10 would watch Wilbur suck at cooking again

So then Connor shows up, whom Wilbur doesn't even know, and we go off the rails from there. So here starts the funniest parts, which are good, however, it is also a detriment, like I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but again, the Niki confrontation got too much buildup to be so suddenly put aside and derailed. They have too much angst buildup just sitting there, and Connor showing up doesn't even prompt anyone to mention the syndicate even in passing, which again, the missed opportunity of delving into the other character's misdeeds and mistakes. Hell, even the missed opportunity of just even mentioning that both Niki and Connor are in a group which Phil and Techno are a part of, to give Wilbur some further context for the history he's trying to ignore since motherfucking 3rd of august, 2021 of Doomsday

Then we got to the Ghostbur plot. Ok. Listen, Ghostbur is my boy, I really wanted him to be called back to and mentioned again, and everything pointed to it being a thing in this last stretch... But that was so extremely rushed as well. First of all, again, it feels shoehorned in, everything here feels like it needs a breather and to maybe be two streams minimum of longer duration each to really have things settle and mean something. Why are we getting the supposed Ghostbur closure in the Niki stream? The one that had so much buildup towards the Niki confrontation? With Niki, who did not think that Ghostbur was real and had a whole breakdown about him appearing in Doomsday just helping without much questioning? Are we not even gonna slightly nod to that? Ok, then, I guess... Guess we'll also ignore that this was a plot point set up with Tommy too, who actually would've added a LOT to this since he was arguably the closest person to Ghostbur, the one who respected him most and who even made him a grave. Think about what could've been if that setup had payoff, even moreso regarding the last crimeboys lore stream. Man... What we could've explored...

(Also more of a pet peeve, but god, the mention of Ghostbur as "Wilbur's good parts" is just. I love it from an in-character perspective, but damn has the expectations of what the non-analyst part of this fandom will do with that spoiled that line for me already)

Don't know if the context of Ghostbur will come back once again on the finale, as like a confirmed merge or maybe a peek, just something to symbolize that much needed self-forgiveness for Wilbur once he's stopped from what we all know he is planning to do... I can dream, but now I'm not really having high hopes about it at all

So then Connor dies to invoke Dream XD, we get some neat lines about how Wilbur doesn't even care for god and that's my iconoclast revolutionary right there, and Friend goes naked to limbo as an apology from Wilbur to what he still doesn't fully recognize as himself

And not too much after. It ends. Niki goes away. Wilbur is still kicking but not planning to for long. Connor isn't. We have one stream left

And damn... I just hope it's a LONG one or this will fall flat
