#Big Brother Wilbur

[firesnap]

Please always remember one thing when you're talking about c!CrimeBoys or writing about them or making fun drawings or even just shit posting. Tommy always, every single time, put himself between danger and Wilbur. Even when Wilbur was the biggest threat to himself. Even if it meant just making sure he drank water. Even if it meant threatening Wilbur into not leaving.

And Wilbur was always fine with letting himself be collateral damage if Tommy was okay. He wasn't out there throwing himself in front of mobs, but he'd absolutely allow himself to be the one to push the button or die over and over as long as Tommy was out of it. Hell, half the time he thought he was the obstacle that needed to be removed to keep Tommy safe.

Like, this is not Protective Brother tropes from either of them. This is two people who live on completely different ends of the "actions used to show intent" and both of them are fucked up because, when you get to the extremes of anything, there's a huge streak of selfishness that runs through both of their methods.

c!Wilbur ran away in the end because he couldn’t face the realisation that despite everything that happened, c!Tommy had been there waiting for him since the day he left btw. He came back with the hope of dealing himself more pain but was met with undeserved love and that hurt him much more than anything else he could have done to himself

Alright so who's gonna make the fundy meeting Tallulah fic where he has to come to terms with Wil being a good father to her and not him and then wilbur leaves without any notice and he realizes that him being jealous was stupid, looking at this heartbroken little girl who just wants her daddy back. So he starts being the best big brother he can

Important message to every Tommy ever:

I'm so fucking proud of you! And also so very sorry that everyone (me included) failed to listen to you time and time again. You deserved better. You deserve better

And I hope you have better now and if you don't I hope you get it one day because, god you deserve it

Please, ignore anything your version of me may have ever said to you and just listen to what I'm saying: You are amazing and strong and quite honestly I think you would have been a better leader then I could have ever pretended to be

Please hang in there

- Forrest (alt name for Wilbur)

something about the idea that c!tommy, at the end of things, dyes his hair pink. He lets it grow out, braids it back once it gets to the point where just throwing a hat on won’t fix it anymore, and one day he looks in the mirror and sees Techno staring back at him. Just for a split second, he’s there in the glass, and it’s like a bolt of lightning, Tommy scrambling through his chests looking for pink dye or flowers or something. The first dye job is atrocious but he keeps trying, keeps mixing red and white and blush pink until he gets that exact damn shade, the one he used to wonder why Techno kept at all. It was a liability, he thought, a bright, recognizable color even in darkness. Now, every two weeks, he sits on a stool in his bathroom and paints his roots and smiles at his brother in the mirror. He wears sweaters, now, too, big baggy ones under great leather overcoats to keep out the rain. And if he pulls that one thread on the cuff of every coat that was always loose on Wilbur’s jackets because he’d scrape his guitar calluses against the hem, then that’s nobody’s business but his own. He keeps a brimmed hat for when he goes into town, something kind and green, to shade his eyes and hide the fact that he hasn’t washed his hair in a few days and the roots are starting to grow out white and gold. He feeds the crows and they whirl and tumble around him like leaves in the wind, though he can’t understand what they chatter to him. He walks with a cane, he sings as he works, he carries the Ax of Peace.

At the end of it, he is the last and best of them all. He is every good part of them, held like a passed torch after they’ve gone away. He is not quite happy yet, but he is getting there. And honestly? He’s the spitting image of Technoblade.

tommy. tommy tommy tommy.

tell me about the best prank you've ever pulled

i ran a media campaign to convince the smp that rain was piss and that everyone needed certified Innit Umbrellas or they'd be covered with piss and thereofre succeptible to disease. real safety hazard, it was. ranboo was a great news anchor because he started hissing every time he got hit with the piss rain they were really getting into character. i sold out all of our umbrellas and i was filthy rich, absolutely rolling in the dough, but when i went to ranboos house to celebrate i couldnt step inside without tripping over all the umbrellas. after that i just started begging ranboo for money. i am very beggable. last week i made them buy me pizza because of the saying PIZZA RICH. my big brother said thats what you say to rich people. i kept shouting PIZZA RICH at them but i dont think they understood. i told him its okay boob boy some things are simply incomprehsnibl to lesser beings. it was pepperoni.

Christ, the whole Wilbur situation is so fucked. Already the things that are coming out of the woodworks so quickly are so sad.

tw for abuse and misogyny. If you aren’t aware of this yet, Wilbur Soot has been revealed as a prolific abuser

My heart breaks for all the people he’s harmed. I think Shelby was really intelligent in the way that she’s brought this to attention, without naming him. This meant that even though some people denied it or lashed back at her, the repercussions were minimised.

Wilbur responding proved it was him she was talking about, although the details she provided made it so patently clear it was him from the start, it made it so that he had to admit he was the one who had been committing essentially serial abuse on young women by the nature of him responding to the description of the unnamed abuser, although he didn’t mention that it was *multiple women* in his absolutely pathetic excuse of an ‘apology’.

I’ve been thinking about this deeply from pretty much directly the moment after Shubble revealed it really. I’m not going to pretend that I’ve ever watched any of Shubble’s stuff, and I’ve not watched streamers for a couple of years now, but the courage she had to do this is fucking immense. Wilbur is very well off financially with a massive and loyal fanbase, the influence he has is very large and not to be underestimated. His ‘apology’ reeks of PR pressure, although it fails to meet the mark on all levels of even a basic apology (which is not even the bare minimum in this situation) and omits some very important details.

It’s so sad that abuse and grooming is so common amongst streamers/YouTubers, but the response to this time (from the community) being genuine support instead of victim blaming does make me feel hopeful. Wilbur’s condescension of women and younger ccs is absolutely disgusting. This recontextualises so many moments when he’s been dismissive of and made jokes at women’s expense. What he’s done is abuse and it’s misogyny. He’s picked on people he knows are less able to fight back from all parameters. Misogyny is massive in the gaming scene, and he’s relied on all these women (it really is a lot at this rate, even an ex-trumpeter from Lovejoy) staying silent out of fear.

Shubble saying keeping their silence protected him more than it protected her is very true, and this will absolutely wreck his reputation. Rather, he’s fucked it up himself, and there really is no one else to blame in this situation. The people who knew about it and were subject to this were typically smaller, younger or female streamers. It’s disgusting that he had relied on their silence for so long.

This is a bit of a mess, but ngl so am I. It’s been eating at me for as long as it’s been going on, I found out almost immediately. I was quite a big Wilbur fan for a damn long time, since his early days of streaming (when skyblock randomiser was made etc). I was emotionally invested in his original music and looked up to him a lot.

The worst thing I think is that I resonated with his online interactions with Tommy (which makes me feel vile), and his adoration of Wilbur, always calling him ‘like a big brother’, and it fondly reminded me of me and my younger sibling. Except Wilbur would sometimes do some unexpectedly cruel things. Like stomping on Tommy’s hand and causing it to bleed. That alarmed me at the time, also when he revealed that he was relying on Tommy to talk him out of suicide, which really made me concerned about how healthy their relationship was. The worst thing is, this didn’t surprise me that much at all when it was revealed. Shelby’s descriptions could fit no other person, and it made sense and lined up with his past behaviour, but that doesn’t make it any less wholly awful and horrific.

I wasn’t going to talk about it on this blog, but I just feel angry. Angry for all these people he’s hurt. Angry that he’ll still be living comfortably off of his fanbase for years to come, young people who trusted and idolised him, the vast majority young girls themselves. Angry for Shubble, angry for Niki, angry for the women’s names we don’t know yet, angry for those who had been intimidated into silence. Angry for those who had been abused and brutalised by him. The main thing that’s coming up again and again is the biting, the bruising, the physical abuse, the way they were scared into saying anything, left traumatised by the way they’d been treated. As if that could be brushed off in any way by some disgustingly shallow and self-centred attempt at self preservation of his reputation. Fuck off.

Like Aimsey said, this isn’t some light cancellation from Twitter, these are reprehensible serial misogynistic crimes, and it’s only been days since the initial reveal and hours since his response and the influx of victims speaking up. My heart breaks to know how much more is going to be unearthed.

So yeah this is basically it, I treat this blog mainly as an archive for fan creations of things I like, but also as a collection of my thoughts. I have been unable to stop thinking about this, and I know that I’ve barely talked about mcyt on here, but I was heavily into dsmp and streamers for a long time. Shubble is insanely bloody brave for doing this, I wish them all the best (and the other victims) in recovering from his behaviour, as well as applauding her for the sheer fucking bravery to make the decision to speak up.

***I’ve seen some people saying Shubble uses they/them pronouns, but most people I’ve seen refer to her with she/her. If I find out she doesn’t use she/her I’ll change this post < Shelby uses she/they

EVEN ME???? :[

Everyone in L’manburg is getting coal this year.

[barbiegirldream]

What's happening here is Dream grew up normally like all of us on the internet with friends a few years older than him (BBH and George) and a few his age. A few a couple years younger (Sapnap) and he just had friendships. BBH and George taught him things. Dream coached Sapnap through talking to girls when they were back in high school. They were all friends they hung out. And still do.

Tommy for some reason at 16 decided every older person on the internet Dream, Wilbur, Philza that he knew was a role model, a big brother figure, an idol. He decided this on his own and tried to see relationships work out exactly like he envisioned in his head. You could maybe say Phil played into it a lot. But obviously the Wilbur and Dream images crashed and burned. And he's upset about his parent's divorce like a little kid would be unable to handle it. And his other 'stable' friendships are gone. So now he's insistent he was manipulated into having all these thoughts and emotions. When Dream was literally just being friendly and sharing YouTube info and taking time to roleplay on a server that didn't matter to his career to be kind.
