C NOT CC WSS DNI

this kinda makes me happy because I feel like my designs are more recognizable now as mine specifically

(Wilbur yelling “yeah daddy Dream” lives in my head rent free)

Depends on if it's canon Wilbur or their own (assuming you're talking about Dream). If you mean canon will, none of them would react well, in short, they certainly wouldn't like him.

If you mean their own. Nt! Wilbur was never revived, so Dream would simply have to deal with Ghostbur, which is a mix bag. I dont think blue would help much either, because he's not particularly sad. He's just not happy either. Ghostbur would talk his ears off, though.

Handler Dream doesn't deal well with any stranger, least of all someone who's actively antagonistic towards him, so he'd probably be very quiet and still, silently missing Techno and Phil. Wilbur cant decide if he likes dream or not, which is not helpful to Dream at all. Its a not fun experience and he never wants to repeat it

Rewind Dream and Will are in laws, so they actually interact quite often. Usually through Fundy. Wilbur actually wants to improve his friendship with Dream, since thats his son now. Dream is neutral at best. The conversations would be awkward for sure, though Wilbur is trying. Dream just has to decide if thats enough for him.

the eye was laughing its fucking iris off

:((((

Me when I imagine the situationship I low-key enabled into dying because the other seven people hate my guts 🥰🥰

For context, this is from, like, April of 2020 (a solid few months before the whole pizza hut date fiasco). You can watch the video here, and the time stamp for this particular realm is around 19:25

If you don't know, essentially, wilbur did a video where he stole from his subscriber's Minecraft realms, and one of said realms ended up being a """cult""" (in heavy quotations bc it wasn't actually... it's Minecraft) for dream. wilbur goes in, he's on edge, and he has no idea what's going on—he just wants to steal and move on to the next realm.

Anyway, watch the video if you want. What's really funny is that wilbur had no idea who dream was at the time, so it was just some eerie Minecraft realm to him.

A few months later, tommy & tubbo join the dsmp, and wilbur via tommy asks dream on a pizza hut date, and you know the rest. I wonder if wilbur ever connected the dots between dream and the realm.

If you think about it, the idea of wilbur interacting with a creepy cult then meeting the figure of said cult, only to have his first reaction be to ask said person out on a date, is kinda funny.

Some bonus screenshots from the video:

I’ve never thought about it like that before. Though it’s a nice idea to think that Wilbur was thinking about what Tommy would prefer he do, I don’t think that’s the case.

If Wilbur really thought about what would be in Tommy’s interest as you said, he would have taken Tommy to the prison to let him get revenge on Dream himself. Instead, what he did was: take Tommy to the prison (despite him being uncomfortable with it), threaten to kill himself in front of Tommy, and make Tommy believe that his discs had been destroyed. All this did was take away Tommy’s agency and traumatize him further. Then, Wil had the nerve to say that he freed Tommy from Dream even though he clearly didn’t.

Discduo’s conflict was never really about the discs; it was about Dream controlling and abusing Tommy by any means necessary. Wilbur didn’t help Tommy. He did something shitty and manipulative to keep Tommy by his side until he left for Utah. I think, in Wilbur’s mind, that if Dream was no longer an issue for Tommy, he wouldn’t need to be protected anymore and would leave Wil behind. We know that he’s worried tommy is going to leave him from the “I was afraid you wouldn’t forgive me” line in boundless sands, so it’s definitely in line with his character.

Had Wilbur gone ahead and killed Dream, that would have been a selfless decision that would benefit Tommy at the risk of his own happiness. The fact that Wilbur thought about doing that does show that he has grown, but the choice to ultimately do something selfish prevents me from seeing that stream as Wilbur’s redemption.
