i have decided that my interpretation of c!wilbur’s ominous foreshadowing after the “Bust” stream is that he was suicidal and increasingly planning on committing suicide as his character heavily alludes to (because i believe that negating the suicidal overtones of cwilbur during this portion of his story by saying that he was always only ever planning on going back to utah: # 1 just lessens the impact of everything that happens in this arc, because he wouldve already decided to live thus making all those conversations and apologies forcing him to confront the realities of his own life and death wayyy less meaningful, but most importantly # 2 makes it impossible to provide adequate closure for his character’s deepest struggles because they wouldve never been re-addressed) — BUT that when he finally decided to go through with sending friend to ghostbur thus making the evident conclusion that ghostbur did not deserve to suffer eternally (and by extension and implication, himself, too) he changes his mind and chooses Life :) aka Utah <3

#(from drafts — posting this now cause theres a lore ask i wanna answer that requires establishing some precedent of my interpretation here)#this is how i rationalize and interpret the final stream to fit my needs as a viewer and analyst #because taking it at face value of aha he was never suicidal he just was going to utah! always felt SOOOOOO BAD to me #that was like my main issue with the entire concept #so this interpretation allows me to enjoy the utah ending a lot more /gen /pos #tw suicide #myanalysis #like the entire point of revivebur was him learning how to live and enjoy living again like i cannot stress enough how important it is that-#-these moments that really explicitly address his suicidality are NOT overwritten #the entire fucking Doomed By The Narrative thing he has going on is self inflicted like we KNOW this. he literally kills himself #so by extension. Obviously. him Freeing himself from the narrative by fleeing to utah Also needs to be accompanied-#-by him addressing and choosing to not give in to that suicidality a second time. like thats the entire point #it just makes the most sense to me
