Tubbo actually acknowledging what we have been saying for ages that "qTubbo's feelings for Fred are actually true and real but no one around him takes it seriously and everyone just treats it like a joke. This makes his and Fred's story a tragedy" . King we been knew

I was thinking about how Tubbo keeps his rose in his backpack versus how he always kept his funeral flower in his offhand. I wasn't sure why he wouldn't want to keep the flower that Fred gave him in his offhand because surely that one would mean more, right?

I actually think it's a symbol of Tubbo's depression and how he hides it. When he had the funeral flower in his hand, he was sad and didn't really try to hide it. He didn't shower, he was incredibly reckless, and purposefully hurt himself multiple times. That flower was out where others could see, much like his emotions and mental state at the time.

The rose is different. The rose is hidden away and kept safe. Tubbo is seemingly better, he's "showered", started being more mindful of his actions/surroundings, and isn't purposefully hurting himself. But he's still hurting and in a poor mental state that many of the eggs have called him out for. He is still experiencing depression but it's well hidden.

Tubbo kept the funeral flower out because he felt like he had a reason to display his mental state. he figured that if anyone asked and saw how badly he was doing, he had a reason to feel the way he did.

On the other hand, Tubbo doesn't really have a reason to keep feeling like he does after Fred returns. Fred isn't dead, so what is there to be upset about? He hides the rose. He doesn't want people to ask because he doesn't have a reason (in his mind) to still feel the way he does.

Both flowers directly represent how he handles and shows his mental health to others on the island. The funeral flower was out for everyone to see and the rose is only known to exist by a select few people.

i love whenever there’s some scenario where a character is seemingly super cold and has no empathy for another person’s situation, and people start angsting and theorizing on the meaning behind it and how it will affect both of them, only for it to turn out the person literally had no fucking clue in the first place and is more shocked than anyone else hhfjdhfjf

Ya know maybe there's a reason people think tubbo doesn't do lore

for context below is a character's usual lore section

I'm watching some old qsmp clips and it's made me realise that q!tubbo has held two separate funerals for two separate people (who he thought were dead) only for them to be alive.

Funny how things happen, huh.

Tubbo goes day after day to the fed offices to get any shred of information on Fred and the one time he gets it, he's told Fred is dead. He asks to see his body and is told that it's so mangled and mutilated it doesn't even look like a person.

“live and let die” by wings is the song they played at fred’s funeral when they threw the dirt on his casket
