remember how ghostbur kept falling into the lmanberg crater, because he forgot that doomsday had happened? it was a bad memory so he refused to look it in the eye, but the reality of it was still there and still hurting him, over and over again. if he'd been able to face what had happened, he could have figured out how to deal with it, found a way to safely cross the crater. but cuts and scrapes and respawns were less painful than acknowledging it. so he kept on falling.

hc that tubbo is REALLY insecure about his missing eye, so he wears an eyepatch in new l’manberg and absolutely hates it. it’s too big and garish, it rubs up on his wounds all wrong, he hates seeing himself with it. it makes him feel weak. ranboo notices (of course he does) and thinks that tubbo deserves to feel handsome again. they set off after a cabinet meeting to see if ghostbur has any books on prosthetics.
it should be noted that ranboo has no fucking clue what they’re doing. in the weeks after the plans inception, he has amassed over fifty handcrafted glass eyes, of which exactly zero will work. they’re too big, too small, not the right color. he even managed to make one with a rectangular pupil before they thought better of it. it's a shame, too, that was his best one yet. they're tired and frustrated and the eye collection is really starting to creep him out. ranboo considers asking for help.
ranboo remembers the tumultuous political state of new l'manburg.
ranboo thinks this may be a one-man project.
it really shouldn’t be a surprise that tubbo finds out. they've been practically attached at the hip since ranboo joined, and he was never any good at keeping things from tubbo anyway. they're popping over to ranboo's to get supplies for whatever adventure they're going on today, and the little chest labeled SECRET DO NOT OPEN is too full, propped open with dozens of lumpy glass spheres. tubbo notices (of course he does) and gets halfway through a i can't believe you have an eye fetish before he realizes. ranboo thinks it's a bad sign when he goes silent and an even worse one when his eye goes all misty and aw shit he made the president cry.
he's stuttering through an apology when tubbo's one eye meets their two and he asks is this for me? did you make these for me? ranboo nods and tubbo smiles like a kid on christmas, watery and bright. they've missed that smile. before he knows what's happening, tubbo's tackled them into a hug, sending both of them careening to the ground. ranboo vows there and then to give the man anything and everything he desires now and forever, just so he can feel like this again. not a veteran, not a politician, just tubbo, carefree and kind.
yeah, that sounds like a good life.
as quickly as ranboo went down, he's being pulled back up with tubbo insisting that they try every single eye, previous adventure abandoned. they spend the day like that, going through the chest, laughing at some of ranboos earlier attempts, and screaming with excitement when one managed to fit.
he looks beautiful. more confident, brighter, somehow. they burn his eyepatch that night. ranboo had already gotten him a better one anyway.

Nonononono you don’t. you don’t get it. Hear. Listen to me. Please. Just listen to me please.
Tommy never had a sheep before Ghostbur, he has never owned a sheep on DSMP. And Ghostbur had a sheep, he had a Very Good sheep named Friend, and Ghostbur loved Friend so very much, and he took care of Friend and when he died, Tommy tried to take care of Friend, and it didn’t work and Friend died, and then later Friend died again because he was sent to be with Ghostbur.
And now Tommy has a sheep all his own. and I’m just. I am just. Thinks about love & thinks about grief & thinks about aching & thinks about missing someone & thinks about sheep & thinks about love & thinks about friendship & thinks about brotherhood. Tommy has a sheep now, and he gets to take care of this sheep and love her, and Ghostbur isn’t coming back and Friend isn’t coming back and the grief will not go away, but hey. Tommy gets to love this sheep. He gets to love her and care for her and keep her safe. And I don’t know. Thinks about grief. Thinks about healing. Thinks about love.

ok had a reblog that awoke the cTommy demons in me so let me just rant for a second about my very specific flavour of cTommy I've made up ok? ok.
you know how like there's stories of kids surviving in the woods by themselves and living among animals? well my ctom is that but with a twist basically.
he spent about his all his early childhood (1 to a 8 year old) in the woods, alone, and like, he was living his best life honestly, I think that he'd sometimes spy on some village kids on the edges of the village but otherwise he was totally content to just frolic in the woods and eat bugs n shit.
but then cwil found him and was like 'oh no whats this child doing running around covered in mud living in a forest' and just kinda picked him by his scruff and carried him home, not really understanding that the kid he just picked up might not be a human child that needed that sort of assistance, all children bite right? like it's totally normal for them to claw at the walls of the home, begging to be released back to the wild for the first week they're inside a home? yeah. and the shiny eyes and claws are just quirks he's sure. this child is perfectly normal and meant to live among humans.
after a while tommy kinda warmed up to wil even when he didn't really understand why he had to do a lot of things, why on earth were shoes necessary anyways? the shirts and trousers he got, they were soft and made him warm in chilly night but god, shoes were his worst enemy. and wil would also develop a fondness for him, and after that they kinda began traveling together.
wil mostly saw tommy's habits as just little odd quirks, and unless it intervened with thing he deemed important he let the boy be.
but then the wars happened and wil became very strict on how tommy should act, how he made the state look bad by climbing trees and walking around barefoot getting his uniform all dirty and untidy, and tommy you have to wear the tie, don't you care what they will think of us if my right hand man won't even dress properly?
and despite all the efforts he made to understand why the things that his brother- no, his general said were important and should matter, the uniforms made his skin itch and the long depatings and peace negotiations made him miss the vague memories of the days where all he had to be was himself in the forest. at least he had tubbo, he'd never leave him.
woops, wil dies, other shit happens, tubbo becomes the president and then exiles him, leaving him, cdream's abuse makes him both regress and progress with his masking, he's never been so much of a starved animal and a obedient follower as he was now, a wild thing kicked and tortured until any form of affection got his complete trust. only for it to be blown up like everything else.
he escapes, finds a safe place, get betrayed, flees again, holes up away from everyone else, because apparently this people thing that everyone seemed to be so in on just wasn't his thing.
some people offer to try and help him, and he accepts. once again.
they say he needs closure, which sure, he'll get closure, dream's in prison now right? it'll be safe right?
one cracked skull and revival and he's proven wrong.
but is it just me or is he kinda..odd now? a boy that once couldn't stand still to save his life, now just watched in the background, with those creepy dead eyes that were nowadays covered by those bangs of his. he seemed more like a ghost than ghostbur ever was.
he just wanders around in the woods, and the claws that had been clipped short by wil now were untrimmed, I swear I saw him hunt a bunny and kill it with his hands alone one time!
he doesn't really talk to people like he used to, mostly he sticks to chatting with tubbo and cranboo, cphil's tried to talk to him, tried to apologize for how things turned out..but he doesn't really get anything back from tommy. he seems more busy with collecting bugs and skinning small rodents for their skulls to try and unpack years worth of complicated feelings towards everyone in his life, maybe things would've been better if he'd stayed in that forest of his, at least he sometimes wishes so.

Ctommy I will protect you to the ends of the earth
Design notes below the cut!
-He is a demon hybrid, similar to sapnap, but he has less demon in him, so he has no powers and the only evidence of it is visual and mental (he has slight demon instincts, which is why he is so ready too fight for minor offences)
-His earrings are handmade, specifically to look like the discs. He never takes them off, and has at least three spare pairs in case they ever break or get lost.
-His coat is actually Wilbur's, he took it while he was Ghostbur, and once Wilbur was resurrected he was too attached to give it back. Its covered in poorly-stitched holes from years of use by both two, and Tommy never stitched up the holes through the front and back from when Wilbur was killed, claiming they are 'special' holes. The only changes he made to it besides some repair, were adding a new (not torn) L'manburg flag and some pride flags.
-Two of his fingers are missing, and one of his toes is missing. His fingers were chopped off by Dream as a punishment while in exile, and his toe had to be amputated after getting severe frostbite while hiding by Techno's house. He is also covered in scars on his legs and arms (as well as a few on his torso), but none are visible most of the time due to him wearing Wilbur's coat.
-Underneath the coat he, of course, wears his classic red and white tee. His shirt drawers consist of multiple of that shirt only, and the only exception are long-sleeved versions for winter.
-He keeps his hair long, because while in exile he wasn't able too cut it, and he later realized he didn't like it short, so he stopped cutting it.
-The fur on his tail has a white streak in it too, which along with the streak in his hair only appeared after resurrection.

Ghostbur: And I decided, right? Right, I thought, TommyInnit, what does he like? And I thought, he likes, women. He likes, uh-
Tommy: Have you brought me a woman?
Ghostbur: No, I tried, but they don't- they're not as keen on you as you are on them. So I- I- I-
Tommy: That's not true.
Ghostbur: I left them where I found them, I left them where I found them. Uh, but what I did think was like what else- what else does Tommy like, he likes the discs. I couldn't get you the discs I'm afraid. I did try. Uh, and I thought, what else does Tommy like? He likes, uh, pasta. I assume you like pasta, I- I wasn't entirely sure but I wrote it down. Uh, I have a list, now, of things that you like and I'm just trying to remember them so it was pasta-
Tommy: Well, what is it you brought me? I'm here, Wilbur, where are you?
Ghostbur: Yeah, I'm- I'm- I'm coming, I'm coming to the- I'm coming to Logstedshire, right.
Tommy: What, are you getting through the nether? I'm at the Bastion.
Ghostbur: No, no, Logsteshire! Logstedshire!
Tommy: Shall I just go to the Logstedshire?
Ghostbur: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Tommy: Okay [Jumps into lava]
Ghostbur: That's where I am now, that's where I just got to. [Tommy dies to lava] Oh. [Ghostbur laughs a little] That's an easy way of getting around. You're a bit of a fast traveler.
Tommy: [Shouts] Hello!
Ghostbur: Hi! Where are you? Oh! Come here, come here.
Tommy: I haven't looked you dead in the eyes today.
Ghostbur: Come here, come here, look, look, look! So I thought, what else does Tommy like? Right. What does TommyInnit- What's he a fan of, okay? He likes- he likes democracy. That's another thing I had down- your shirt's lookin' a bit-
Tommy: Yeah.
Ghostbur: You're looking a bit worse for wear.
Tommy: I've had a rough few nights.
Ghostbur: It's okay, come in here, right. Stand here, right. I want you to get ready for this because you're gonna like this gift.
Tommy: I'm ready.
Ghostbur: So I thought, what does Tommy like? His favorite thing in the whole wide world [Ghostbur throws something to Tommy. Tommy hovers over the gift and sees it is a compass named Your Tubbo] is Tubbo! Tommy, I know you really, really like Tubbo. And I know you really, really miss him. So I went out of my way and I made you this. It cost me, like, one netherite, and, like, loads of iron and stone and it basically points you in the direction of Tubbo! At all times. More specifically, L'manburg, Tubbo's White House. It points you right towards it at all times so no matter where you are on this bitch of an earth, you'll know exactly where Tubbo is. And I thought you'd really, really appreciate that.
Tommy: [Stares in silence for a few seconds] Thank you.
Ghostbur: No problem! Anyway, have fun ending your stream, buh-bye!
[Tommy walks silently back to Tnret, making happy/emotional faces at the gift he has just received. He opens his Enderchest and puts the compass inside]
Tommy: Right next to the discs [He lets out a sigh as he closes the Enderchest and smiles]

The Watchers court case 2 p4

Martyn: Yeah.
BigB: Oh! Good.
Pearl: Tubbo? You can call the next witness mate.
Tubbo: Alright m'am.
XD: Who are you going to call now, another one of your friends.
Tubbo: Not really, I call Kristin to the witness stand!
XD: Wait, what?
Kristin: Oh hello there Toby.
Tubbo: Hi miss Death!
Kristin: How's your mother doing? It's bern a while since I've talked to Ianite.
Tubbo: Oh! She's doing great! Her and the Captain are-
XD: H-hello death.
Kristin: XD.
XD: You look...beutiful today? Did your hair...lose weight?
Kristin: ... So, Toby, why did you call for me?
Tubbo: I'm proe- per... I'm the prosecution against XD!
Kristin: Oh, I see. You called me because of the Limbo situation?
Tubbo: Y-yeah!
Kristin: Sure, I'll tell you what I can. Judges, may I have some tea?
Pearl: Of course lady Death.
Kristin: Thank you dear. *She takes out a bottle of alchol and pours it in the tea* ... ...What, do you know how tiring the afterlife is to run?
Tubbo: So, you run all the afterlives?
Kristin: Most of them yes, multiple universes.
Tubbo: And what about ours.
Kristin: Yes and no. Theoretically yes. *Sip* However XD had a plan to create a Limbo and I let him make one, unfortunately I'm not able to see into it.
Tubbo: And what were the conditions?
Kristin: That after a few years the souls ne sent back to me to go to the true afterlife for one. And that it did not punish or reward souls as the judgement comes to me.
Tubbo: ... So would a torture domain that warp times so people are stuck for decades would be infringing on the contract between you two?
Kristin: ... It surely would. Do you know of something like that XD?
XD: What? Me? No! No no no-
Tubbo: I call to the stand Ghostbur, Ranboo, Glatt and Tommy!
Kristin: Oh? More people? Why?

Tubbo: It's not for long. I just want you to explain your Limbos to Kristin.
Ghostbur: Oh ... It's dark...and cold and humid. It's a train station but it's so cold... and theres a bad smell...
Tommy: It was nothing. Just. Blackness everywhere. Nothing to touch. Or hear. Or i don't fucking know, taste? I hate whoever created it.
Tubbo: It's that guy. *Points to XD*
Tommy: ...You fucking prick, why?!??
Glatt: Mine was a gymn. The guy that died for being unhealthy is sent to a gym ah ah ah, hilarious.
Ranboo: ... Water... I was in a small island surrounded by water could only stay still to avoid getting wet, couldn't sit...or lie down... I'm part enderman so I get hurt by water.
Kristin: ...
XD: It's not what it looks like?
Kristin: You'll need to pray to the judges to send you somewhere where I can't find you.
*XD gulps*
Kristin: Tubbo?
Tubbo: Yeah, miss Death?
Kristin: Call me Kristin please, and thank you for letting me know of this.
Tubbo: Of course Kristin!
Kristin: I'll give you a gift. Ranboo?
Ranboo: Y-yeah?
Kristin: Once you are sent back you'll find yourself back in the overworld.
Tubbo: Wait really??
Ranboo: U-uh! Thank you Miss Lady Death m'am!
Kristin: Now, I'll take my leave.
Grian: Yes, of course.
*The witnesses disappear*
Martyn: So... do the jurors have their decision?
*in the jury*
Sapphire: ... Guilty.
Mianite: Clearly guilty.
Monika: It's been definitely guilty since the halfway point.
Madoka: I hate to point fingers but yeah... Guilty.
Aphmau: Super Guilty.
Martyn: That was almost as fast as last time...wow. Then, judges?
Grian: Normally replacing gods is nearly impossible, XD's domain includes however only the dream smp server. I sentence XD to being stripped of his divinity and for it to be divided between Callhan and Foolish.
BigB: I sentence him with 100 years in my domain to make up for the limbo situation as well as an additional 300... Make it 350 years of community service afterwards.
Jimmy: Your domain being? For the record and all.
BigB: The backrooms, you must have heard of them.
Pearl: I sentence him to mandatory therapy to last until further notice.
XD: Oh that's not too bad-

everyone’s like “oh dsmp twitter was so toxic” ok come down to the FANDOM dsmp wiki. we had:
•So many RPs. All the time. (I participated in two and somehow ended up in creative mode both times??) (if you can’t beat them change the code ig)
•A crazy amount of fanfics that never made it to Ao3 and were actually good.
•Memes. Everyday. Nonstop. Party all night.
•It was so cringe. We were all cringe. You weren’t truly in it until you posted your Gacha design of Ghostbur. And no one made fun of you for it.
•We made our own lore about being a library?? And developed a platonic family?? And a protection squad?? Honestly really cool.
•Super wholesome and accepting. We helped each other through all the shit.
anyways I kinda miss it. Tumblr’s cool though.

I’ve seen you discuss AUs before and I think either you talked about c!Disc duo or you reblogged someone else talking about it, but I have an angsty au (that might already exist but idk) that I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on.
So in the prison arc when Tommy gets trapped with Dream , what if instead of Dream killing Tommy he manages to overpower Dream (cuz he’s a bit weaker from malnourishment, etc.) and Tommy kills Dream instead? How do you think that would change the story?
I've definitely talked about c!Discduo before!
hhmmhmhmhmm. In such a world where Tommy could overpower and kill Dream, I think right off the bat, Sam would have an aneurysm.
There's definitely a world where Sam just freaks out and refuses to let him go for ,, way too long. Once people learn he let his prisoner get killed, that would that mean for the prison? His reputation would be in shambles! Lots of directions to take this, depending on what characters and themes you wanted such an AU to focus on.
Regardless, it's inevitable that Punz would revive him. Assuming Tommy gets out relatively soon after, he lets everyone know that He is a Big Man who KILLED The Dream !! Punz hears, and revives him. That essentially skips forward to the prison break without having to involve Quackity and the torture, Ghostbur or Techno/using the favor.
Which is interesting, since enduring the torture is what dictates a lot of Dream's more subtle behavior later on. Heck, he might decide he wasn't in there long enough, who knows. (Though I'm sure he wont miss it, since he started acting out on Day 1)
But from there, Dream gets to decide if he wants to play dead for a while, or appear right away to say "look Im basically immortal, dont even try to kill me, it wont work lol.' Which would effect how other people react, of course.
Overall, i expect he would continue on with The Plan in whatever way he decides suits him best. Tommy will Surely have a heart attack the moment he catches wind of Dream not only still being alive, but running around too. That would probably mirror his spiral in the finale, except he wouldn't have had to deal with the whole ordeal of Wilbur's apology tour and then leaving him, since Ghostbur would be bumbling around instead. So maybe he'd be a bit more stable... ?
This definitely feels like it would be a butterfly effect thing, where later events could change Drastically if you wanted them to.

Hello, I come to you with a silly prompt!
In what way do you think Dream is disabled/affected post-prison and if he does, what do you think he does to hide it?
So I’ve loved all of the different answers to this, lots of fun. Sorry to be late in the game. Like usual I’m probably gonna make this more complicated than it needs to be. No surprise there though lol XD. But ya know you asked for my thoughts so here are my thoughts, as messy as they are.
See this is hard for me because there is a divide between what we know for sure is canon, what we can speculate in general and what is more fun to imagine. As well as, the difference between Minecraft and our physical world. Because like obviously no one can actually survive living that close to lava, so we have to decide which elements would match our world consequences and which wouldn’t.
Because it’s Minecraft and things aren’t necessary like the real world, I play looser with some of the effects. So things like for example messed up vision from the lava don’t apply. I mean everyone spends times in mines, the nether, even has lava in their house so it’s not something I personally include. The same with things like seizures and such.
When it comes to canon, obviously we know potions exist in this world, but the thing is there is never confirmation of them being used in the prison. They don’t appear in Quackity’s or Sam’s inventory (besides fire res) when they visit and during the visits we get to see, Dream is munching on potatoes to heal. So does that mean he never gets potions since basic food can work to heal in Minecraft or does he get some only with more severe and dangerous injuries or something. Or would he have sustained less serious injuries because the potatoes can only heal so much. Then again canonically Quackity is swinging a diamond sword and a netherite axe around, which aren’t exactly gonna do small damage.
And the thing with scars is that the only scars we know of are from canonical deaths, meaning Dream would probably have some from the other time he went to limbo (or multiple if went multiple times), and Tommy killing him (quite a few actually given how many arrows he took and stuff in staged finale) but there’s not necessarily confirmation of scars other than that, and Quackity can’t exactly take credit for those.
There’s also the question of whether he was dying and respawning as non canon deaths, especially because again Quackity is using some high damage weapons. Though I tend to lean away from believing that since that isn’t shown except with Sam accidentally killing Dream after Techno escapes.
I also don’t personally think he suffered anything super noticeable because the guards in prison as well as Ghostbur and Tommy and even Techno, don’t mention the torture. Ghostbur and Tommy don’t notice anything, Techno has to be told, and the guards like Badboyhalo even after hearing screaming still seems almost unsure of himself. Plus, Antfrost talks about visiting Dream and yet had no clue about the torture until Bad brings it up. So in my mind he doesn’t have anything too mutilated or missing body part wise, because that’d be kinda obvious. This includes eyes and also even missing fingers (though if he is missing one let’s just all agree it’d be his left hand ring finger because of Quackity’s breakup with his fiancés… ;]). (Though if we decide they were using potions then it’s interesting to play around with the idea of Quackity doing something like cutting off his arm and Sam having to fix that like I did in my fanfiction.)
So in my mind, no major cosmetic things, besides being smaller due to poor diet and starvation. Though again, in my mind it’s not quite the same as real world so I don’t like to imagine him as grotesquely skin and bones if that makes sense… (look he can be broken and still pretty ;D).
But despite what I said, I do like to imagine he has scars and I think potions may not have been a staple but probably did happen if Quackity ever went too far. Maybe early on before Quackity mastered his craft a bit more or later when he became more and more enraged and extreme in his desperation to break Dream. Either way, I think it was a rare occasion type deal. And because of that, in my mind he does actually have scars because the potatoes provide poor healing. So other people dying by falling in a hole or fight in a war don’t really have scars from that due to respawn and potions or golden apples, while Dream deprived of that would have more lasting effects (because as someone with many scars I like to imagine he has some as a testimony to what he went through). This also means that some of his broken bones perhaps didn’t heal properly causing some pain or even having things not quite right. So fingers bent wrong if you really studied them or knees misaligned or whatever. So some sensation of pain at all times is pretty guaranteed. Though even without injuries healed wrong he’d still have chronic pain because scar tissue is very sensitive and messes up the nerves so it freaking hurts, it hurts to move, it hurts to touch, it hurts to use… etc.
One of the things he’d do would obviously be to cover the scars and hide them from view, because embarrassment, shame, looking weak… etc but he’d definitely do it in really soft and not super tight fitting clothes because again the skin is sensitive.
I sometimes like to imagine that for injuries that are obvious and badly healed enough he would like break them and reheal them, maybe even with Punz’s help. In general though, broken bones, concussions and stuff heal on their own given time so even if not the best, things heal eventually and Dream is up and about swinging an axe so it ain’t like he’s too debilitated. Still, moving and stuff would be painful and he’s definitely not in shape like he was so it makes sense why he uses so many pearls all the time and why Tubbo would say to Punz in the finale about killing him, “He was sluggish—he was slow—he was out of practice we took him by surprise.”
Though, I do think sluggish and slow could also be a reference to his mental ability as well, implying he isn’t as quick witted or as good at reacting, something that if you watch that finale fight does align. His counter measures aren’t super fast especially compared to how adaptable and swiftly clever he was before.
Obviously, he likely has Depression, PTSD, and an Anxiety disorder, as a result of prison. Anxiety is the one we seen him at least try to mitigate by finding the most secure place to sleep so he can feel less stressed out, not going out and provoking people to avoid being attacked, kinda blocking out the world and stuff, not great for his depression though nor his PTSD…
I also imagine he’d be the type of person to think he could get over fears and trauma by exposure. Like sleeping in the cell with the lava down to remind himself he doesn’t need to be afraid of it… things like that perhaps. With limited success.
I imagine he has a lot of nightmares so he mitigates this by not sleeping as much as possible. Old habits die hard I guess…
Based off of Bad talking to Antfrost after the prison break about how he thinks someone was coming in and torturing Dream: “Anytime I would go and visit Dream he would be all shaky and he wouldn’t wanna talk.” I’d say Dream does shake, sometimes out of fear, sometimes out of weakness, sometimes out of stress, and sometimes because his body doesn’t work as it should. He mitigates this by trying to build up his strength and change strategies in battle if it ever gets debilitating, like switching to food, pearls, potions or TNT. He does a lot of pearling and running, and he never takes off his armor in fear of what might be around the corner.
Despite living in isolation for so long, he’s not overly social like he used to be. He goes days, weeks even without really talking to anyone between spurts of being overly talkative and needing interaction.
When talking to people, perhaps he hides his hands behind his back when they shake, he wears his mask to hide anything he might feel - fear, panic, sorrow, they can’t really see the tears building in his eyes or falling down his face that way. They can’t even really tell he’s hyperventilating unless they are paying attention.
He likes to do a lot of pushing down his feelings, which worked in the prison, it’s a good way to survive but it’s no way to heal. Maybe he schedules his meltdowns or panic to a later time - He’ll get upset about the fight with Quackity at home, he can’t breakdown in the streets now.
Maybe he spends days feeling numb, not leaving his bed, feeling like there’s no point. It’s better that way, if he doesn’t go anywhere he’s safe. If Punz asks he’ll lie, and Punz won’t believe him but he won’t push either………….
“Purpled, do you know what that does to a man do you know the limits that people have it—it goes beyond those limits it’s not okay.”

Next on the DSMP-coded song series! #2
C! Tommy and specifically C! Crimeboys
"Do you miss me, you sad lady, 'cause I'm really feeling down" Tommy after Wilbur's death since things are going wrong with New L'manberg and Tommy still misses Wilbur despite Ghostbur being around.
"Do you miss what you thought you were, back when you thought you knew what you are" This can be talking about both Tommy and Wilbur, especially post-revival. I feel like Tommy and Wilbur would miss L'manberg days partially due to the fact they actually had a role, a purpose that they knew. Tommy was always more of a follower but since everyone around him(except Wilbur) are moving on while he's stuck in the past, he doesn't know who he's supposed to be anymore and finds himself without a purpose. Wilbur *needs* a purpose now that he's back from being in Limbo for more than 13 years. After years of doing *nothing*, he wants to do something again, be someone noteworthy. However, he isn't the general or president of L'manberg and he technically isn't the unstable destroyer of L'manberg either. I headcanon that Wilbur puts up a facade that we see in the DSMP lore during his rivalry with Quackity/Las Nevadas to feel like he has a purpose and is making an impact.
"Where you are, I don't care, I just want to be a part of something" Tommy went along with Wilbur after they were revived to cling onto what his purpose was before Wilbur died which was to basically be a part of whatever Wilbur is planning. He wanted to be a part of something, they both did, hence Wilbur's rivalry with Quackity.
"When I was 16, I was dead, I was sick from being underfed" Tommy's second exile. He didn't literally die but he would definitely feel like he was either dead or dying for most of exile.
"When I was 10, I hated you, you hurt me, it's what you do" This mostly goes along with Pogtopia and Revived Crimeboys. Wilbur wasn't good for Tommy, no matter how much Wilbur genuinely loved and cared for Tommy. He would always end up hurting him one way or another. Even when Wilbur tried to stop hurting Tommy(and everyone in general) by leaving the Dream SMP, he still ended up hurting him. It's honestly quite tragic.
"Do you miss me Stephanie[Wilbur], 'cause I'm really missing you." For after Wilbur dies or after Wilbur leaves, for obvious reasons.
