#tubbo mention

[abeehiltz1159]

I drew all over this folder on accident but I am very happy with it

[sparkleofstardust]

i'm proud of how tubbo is handling this situation. he's live in front of 40k+ people and still keeping a level head and not letting dream get away with the way he's talking in circles and avoiding the points. tubbo will get back to the topic at hand if he feels like it's unresolved and not getting distracted, it's genuinely impressive

"invited"

Translation:

[reading chat] "We saw you were invited on Tubbo's mincraft server" Yees, yes yes, I'm so happy

But "invited", well yes I was invinted but I kind of forced him [laugh]

He annonced it while I was on stream, you guys remember, and I went in his dm saying :

"Woah incredible your server [stars into the camera] "it's so cool" "it's really so cool" [stars intensively] "plus with lots of people I really want to play with again"

I really wanted to play with them and Tubbo immediately said "Damn that's good, I'm gonna add other people"

i know coming back right is kinda a silly idea but im thinking about it.

what if ranboo came back, and they came back right?

not physically, of course. god, he looks a decade older and has the exhaustion to match. their skin is marred, mostly scar tissue now, from the explosion, from sam, from the endless ocean of limbo, from crying. tubbo hates that they match now. he’s skinnier, too, as if death took everything but the skin and bones of him. they look more monstrous. theres a new streak of white in his hair. it reminds tubbo of wilbur. it reminds tommy of himself.

but he’s just as kind, he still holds their son with tenderness and sings songs of old to him. he still brushes tubbos hair away with a feather-light touch. they still help techno with the dogs. he still visits tommy. they still grow pink tulips.

their memory is... better. ranboo still loses his house keys and forgets where he was going or what they ate for lunch, but they have every scar on tommy memorized, he knows tubbo like the back of their hand, can recite historical events like a textbook, will never lose track of an important date again.

its all they had in limbo. he didnt want to forget for good.

he's still scared, if they're being honest. scared that their sacrifice was for nothing. scared that his family will be destroyed again and again for the sick pleasure of some fucking guy. scared that he'll be used again. scared that they'll hurt the people they care about again. but for now they're okay, they have a team and a family and a second chance.

ranboo comes back and theyre okay, honestly. they move into the mansion with his husband and child. he thanks techno again and again for saving his son. for saving him. techno doesnt accept the thanks, he should've done more. he talks with tommy about limbo, and about grief. they visit their own graves and they grieve. for one another, for themselves. it washes over them in waves. tubbo still waits for the other shoe to drop, for his husband or himself to turn into a maniac and blow the server to bits, but it doesnt come. it won't come. its not the same, it cant be, but its good for the first time in a long time.

maybe the other shoe doesn’t have to drop. maybe sometimes people can come back and maybe they can be okay.

Phil: You know like, one of my first interactions with Roier was like, him and Missa just vaguely threatening me, on the QSMP?

Tubbo: Oh, nice!

Phil: It was really funny. He just- he just went up to me and just went: "Be careful, Philza" and then like, walked away, and I just started laughing at him. And then as he's running away, he's like: "Why is he making fun of me?!"

Tubbo: [Laughs] Wtf!

Phil: [Laughs] It's like my favorite– my favorite first interaction, it's so funny.

greatest wish

[ilovechainmail]

btw tubbo was saying on stream there is a chance of his fight w sapnap not happening depending on whether or not they can both meet the weight requirement (147lbs) which tubbo said they’re both decently far off from in both directions. so if in like a few months someone gets swapped out or the fight is canned that probably is why !

thinking about tubbo yelling "THEY SHOULDNT HAVE WON!" about bolas today during the qsmp awards and, ya know, a major reason they won was simply mind games against everyone else:

cellbit and foolishs massive fuck off lava sandcastle for the egg war that the other teams got frustrated and downright gave up on by the end

the entire team running with the idea of gradually fucking up their skins, yelling nonsense and never taking off the gas masks

tubbo talking about how he had genuine nightmares about the murder husbands despite the fact they are his actual irl good friends

cellbit breaking out fucking "queridinho" at pac during the flag event (cellbit pls get less good at acting, this shit was actually terrifying)

the whole teams' demeanor during the entire event of: "why would we do that? WELL, WE'RE FUCKING C R A Z Y THAT'S WHY!"

- also that they had the combo of fucking good coordinaters and builders and fighters but also were so destroyed by the event that some of them had physical reactions to the stress *IRL* - making them Impossible To Predict

ending in tubbo losing the 1v1 with phil (and therefore the event) because he was simply too psyched out

Bolas Rojas was pure psychological warfare.

god SADist was a real one. never folded and gave tubbo horns. what a fucking G

we all need to have a discussion on what queerbaiting is. because clearly no one knows

for clarification, dream has been unlabelled for what i assume to be more than half a decade now. nothing wrong with that, labels truly aren't that big of a thing to some people. the issue is that he's been marketing and profiting off of that. let me explain.

a person can't queerbait. a business, show, movie, game, can. why? because a person can do whatever the hell they want, they are not advertising it to a demographic and gaining money and influence off of that. dream is. a tv show can give us two male leads, or female leads, even a nonbinary and male/female lead, and tease us with romantic and/or sexual tension, flirting, etc. they can reel us in, making us buy merch, stream songs or episodes, and keep us hooked while never truly giving us a relationship or clarification of what those two are, sometimes hitting us in the face and making the male / female lead a opposite sex partner or otherwise. look at the wiki here. also,

dream (and mind you i was a dream fan up until 2020-2021, i know what im talking about and up until the grooming allegations where i quickly dropped it, i kept up with him and followed him on youtube and twitter) relied heavily on dreamnotfound. from the shop site to georges merch, to his own merch, etc. no one is saying dream, or george, are queerbaiting, and in order to prove otherwise they have to come out. they are saying the duo are queerbaiting because of the marketing and profit they get from views, (think of the moving in video w dream and george, or basically any video with the two of them) or merch from their sites, or collective trio site with sapnap. *that* is queerbaiting.

making a profit, targeting a specific demographic and bringing them in because 'hey, this is so cool that my streamers are like me.' that is queerbaiting. you cannot market a person, but you can market a relationship in the similar way some celebrities pull publicity stunts to gain more fame or attention. they gain money, or publicity because of it. there is nothing wrong with being unlabelled, but there is something wrong with actively selling a relationship to a demographic while not also pushing the other away. they sell their (perhaps personified? who knows) relationship to the demographic of unlabelled/queer folks in their community, and make a profit based off of that, even off of the straight cis ally's.

i've seen it firsthand with many shows or movies. its designed like that. it brings in money and keeps you on the edge of your seat if their 'really together' or not. there is nothing wrong with neither putting a label on their sexuality, or even how they present themselves. what's wrong is the obvious marketing tactic they use. that is what dream is doing. tubbo, and any others, are not forcing them to come out. i personally just want it to be addressed that they are in fact queerbaiting and using their queer & ally fanbase as a profit. because that's what it is. it's been almost half a decade, and they still profit off of it without ever disclosing it, because if they did they'd lose the profit on merch & views because that's what they rely heavily on if they admit neither are dating or even remotely romantically in a relationship.

i am not saying this in defense of dream. everything he is doing is wrong, from saying the r slur to everything now. i am saying this as queerbait has been thrown around with no one knowing it's proper origins. many unlabelled folks get backlash as 'queerbaiting' when a person cannot queerbait. i hope this helps, and i hope this is as clear and accurate as i can write it.

Can someone make a compilation of all the times dream called tubbo "tommy"? My brain's getting fried because I'm watching shit at 5 in the morning so I only processed one time he did.

edit: someone did it! though it only contains six instances

[royalarchivist]

Tubbo: We did, we went to Seaside Kebab, but there was this one chatter outside Seaside Kebab that kind of recognized me, but didn't, they were a French chatter, and they very much recognized, like– they were- they were explaining to me that they watched Twitch streamers, and they were just like– they were rattling off, they were like: "Oh yeah, Baghera, Antoine, Etoiles," I'm like, "Wait a minute!"

Piso: Ok, ok– they were rattling off, you were– [Laughs] You were–

Tubbo: I was making fun of them!

Piso: You were name-dropping!

Tubbo: Huh? I was like–

Piso: You were like, you were like, "Do you know Baghera Jones? "

Tubbo: I was like- yeah– I was- I was like, "Do you know–?" Like– they were saying they watch French Twitch streamers, and they were like, "Yes!" I'm like, "Wait! I know these people!"

Piso: You were like– you're like, scrolling through your contacts list, "Do you know– do you happen to know know–"

Tubbo: No, no, no! That's not what happened! That is not what happened! No, I was being like– I'm like, "Oh! You're obviously a viewer of the QSMP" 'cuz they came up, and they're like, "Wait, I know you!" but obviously they didn't speak very much English–

Piso: Uh-huh...

Tubbo: Yeah, and so– they were like– just like, out in Brighton getting drunk with their dad, and I was like, "That's very French of you."

Dream has talked a few times during the stream about how Tubbo is being told false information by Tommy. To which Tubbo directly replies that he has seen the proof himself and that he is his own person capable of forming his own opinions. I feel like that's coming from the fact that Tubbo was frequently treated as an extension of his friends rather than his own person by the community in general.

Tubbo mentioned it like 2 or 3 years ago, but I do want to talk about it right now as well, mainly because I don't see anyone else mentioning it so far.

I should mention that there is, of course, this fear of people talking behind your back. It's natural to have that fear, but that should not be apart of your "apology". You don't need to spread even more speculations. You of all people should understand how harmful these speculations could be and how pure assumptions should not be public. Because that's all this is. Assumptions.

Not only is it incredibly disrespectful of Dream to imply that Tubbo is being manipulated or that Tubbo cannot think for himself, while Tubbo is going out of his way to be unbiased, it also rubs me the wrong way how he basically says that Tubbo is one of the good ones (not a direct quote). I find it very manipulative and also disrespectful to other creators, who criticised Dream in the past. Now I know that Tubbo is way better than that, but it feels like Dream is going out of his way to kind of hide behind Tubbo's back as much as possible, putting words in his mouth, playing friends, guilt tripping him and, in a way, his audience.

I could be digging to much into this, but I have found that weird.
