#im not rlly fighting For Wilbur im just saying hey this fandom could stand to take a step back kinda

[dyketubbo]

idrc about discourse on whether wilburs a good writer or not because in the end god people should stop fighting ccs fights for them and stop assuming that whenever a cc slightly complains it means they secretly have a grudge and that fans should take it super seriously and read way into it but also like. i remember seeing people complain abt wilbur having mumza lore that phil doesnt know about and i. kristin is her own person. the fandom knows that, right? like if wilbur isnt talking to phil about c!kristin its probably because hes talking. to kristin abt it.

and then theres complaints abt his cursed lore statements and of course on a joking level theyre funny but if you very seriously mean it when you say youre critical of wilbur because he says stuff like "my moms a fridge and technos my twin" or "i always saw c!tommy and c!tubbo as adults" then.... step back and chill a little. hes made it clear that the people involved talked to him, theyre all clearly comfortable talking about it publically and joking about it and joking about wilburs tendency to have cursed lore

then complaints about him calling himself the head writer (which is,, whatever? if your collab rps dont have a head writer/head writers ok but. some do, it happens, all rps are different), complaints about him not working other characters arcs into his own (which.. eh? he doesnt have to. theres like, 30 characters, and people have made it clear that theyll follow stories like the eggpire and foolsamponk regardless of if wilburs included or not), then a weird double edged sword of "wilbur shouldnt write for other people because the story is naturally done best when theres multiple stories going on" and "wilbur should include everyone in the story and shouldnt be so tunnel visioned and talk to everyone"

and in the end its like. idk. i think people are a bit *too* comfortable reading into cc dynamics.... of course theres writing decisions to nitpick but like. its a story ran mostly by adults with only four kids (not counting drista, since her character is more a comedic side character), all of which clearly have stood their ground and the three that work with wilbur actively express joy in interacting with his writing. phils expressed excitement, technos wishes are, afaik, generally respected. wilburs expressed general sadness at not being able to focus on various characters stories (like niki), the ones who wilbur doesnt focus on have clearly held their own (*especially* everyone involved in the eggpire god cheers to them esp bbh). just.. idk. its all fun and games on the surface and im not saying dont criticize the writing or wilbur at all but like. dont fight fights you arent apart of. dont assume things of cc dynamics that would make them uncomfortable. dont be weird, basically. wilburs a real person, not just some punching bag that you can hate on just bc he wont see it lol
