Painted Eyes, Painted Lies

cw: talk about suicide and grief

So this is a sorta bad ending to Di where Tommy commits suicide instead of getting the chance to heal. Wilbur and Tubbo feel unbelievably guilty, of course.

Wilbur loses all hope and falls into a depression. (This idea spawned cuz I just wanted to draw him miserable skdjdj Since in Di, Wilbur is the only one who doesn’t hit rock bottom. I wondered what would have to happened for him to do so…)

Tubbo doesn’t let himself grieve and immediately tries to figure out how to bring Tommy back. He goes though Tommy’s journals to find the revival spell but doesn’t know what to do once he has it. I think Punz would tell Tubbo that he could help him as long as he gives him a spare copy of the book. Tubbo pieces it together that Punz had worked with Dream and that if he accepts his help, Dream would be revived as well as Tommy. Which makes him feel very torn.

Wilbur doesn’t want to bring Tommy back because 1) being revived isn’t the nicest feeling and 2) He wants to “respect” Tommy’s decision. Which is definitely doesn’t come from a healthy place, since rn he feels like both life and death are torturous and there’s no point in trying to strive for one or the other.

Anyways, sorry I don’t usually like overly depressing storylines but making this was lowkey cathartic skdjjdj Tis not canon though so no worries 👍
