Finished watching Moon Knight and instead got a dsmp idea what the fuck is wrong with me.
Anyway, Wilbur Soot centric fic where there is a little guy who likes blue and sheep who calls himself Ghostbur in his fricking head
And isn't that just nice?
Phil and Techno are his Ghostbur life. Phil's his dad who thinks this is his son's actual ghost, and Techno is his brother (twin).
Tommy is his Wilbur life. Tommy's just a kid Wilbur got attached too, but they would do anything for each other
(Wilbur ran away after his Mother's death, but a part of him wanted to stay with his Dad, so cue ghostbur)
Basically Techno and Phil see Wilbur, 4/4 sbi, angst, and chaos ensues
Here's a little bit of an out there theory, but I'm just thinking of stuff about c!Ranboo, Enderboo (Ranboo in enderwalk), and Ghostboo.
Not that I necessarily believe that this theory is true or anything, but it's interesting to think about it. Just posting this thought here in case Apollo interacts :P. Anyway! Onto the theory.
Hear me out.
This is based upon a lot of things, such as popular and old fan theories about Ghostbur, the differences between Ghostboo and the other ghosts, and some other observations.
Ghostboo is very very different from the other ghosts we know such as Ghostbur, M.D., and Glatt. This is especially seen in his appearance. All of the other ghosts are simply completely monochrome versions of what they looked like in life. Ghostboo isn't.
Ghostboo in fact, had to cover & hide his face with a sheet. We finally got to see his face once he took the sheet off, and it's desaturated, sure, but not monochromatic. His face still has purplish hues like his original skin, not gray at all.
And then the obvious thing, his chest wound.
All other ghosts have no remnants from the way they died. Neither Ghostbur or M.D. have stab wounds (Glatt's wouldn't leave much of a physical mark).
But, let's keep talking about these skins, because it's interesting. Ghostboo decided to wear a sheet after he died to hide his face.
That's also very interesting, because what would there be to hide? Everyone knows him, knows he's Ranboo (at least, those who knew who he was before. The only thing that he's hiding is his face, which would be an obvious tell on whether he was dead or not. But the chest wound itself is interesting. He's a ghost, he's dead, and by all other ghosts it shouldn't be there, but it is. And it's fresh.
We've seen Ranboo's blood before, he used to carry around lime dye, redstone, rotten flesh, and eyes of ender so that when he died, his 'body' would be dropped.
However his new skin... the blood is darker. The blood has gone dark and brown, which is what happens when blood dries. There's also nothing bright or new, meaning that the wound is no longer bleeding. This could imply it's healed, which... if he was truly a ghost, why would the wound heal?
His new skin reveals he still has color to his skin, he's just gone pale, and that his clothes are tattered.
This makes no sense compared to ghosts before, but it does if you consider he's not actually dead.
He's not been back to his home save for once or twice since he died. He's said he has spent almost all his time wondering around the mansion, but due to some pages in the book he read today (3/31/22) it may also be that he's wondered around looking for 'him'.
In the books bringing Ranboo back is mentioned. Now, why would this be?
When Ghostboo first appeared, he was very much compared by the fandom to Enderboo. Ranboo acts a distinct way while in his enderwalk. He's more confident and more forward in what he says and does opposed to how Ranboo normally acts. Enderboo also has quite a lot of Ranboo's missing memories.
Ghostboo acts this way, and we know he has Ranboo's missing memories. A lot have theorized that Ghostboo is Enderboo.
So, let's roll with that. What if he is.
This isn't the first time Enderboo and Ranboo have spoken to each other, not even the first using a book. Ranboo used to speak to himself in Enderwalk via his memory book. Enderboo would help write lists and give him feedback on things to do, or Ranboo would do it, and they'd respond to each other in the memory books.
This is no different.
Plus, Ranboo was doing experiments. We never learned the full details of them, however we know that they were working. They were distancing Enderboo from whatever grasp Dream had on him, and they were bringing memories from enderboo forward. Things Enderboo did, Ranboo was starting to remember.
Ranboo feared losing himself, he feared Enderboo and being stuck in that state, but he did the experiments anyway, saying the memories were worth it. The experiments he did almost always involved bodily harm, specifically with water.
Taking heavy amounts of damage, being brought to near death.
Could it be that being brought to a death caused these experiments to succeed? Locking in the memories but also locking in Enderboo.
Now, I say death because I do believe Ranboo did die to Sam, but maybe it wasn't his third death. It is known that his death from Hitting on 16 is canon, and his death from the prison is canon, but it's his first death that is unknown. It's often speculated that he died during the explosions during the prison or community house.
But, not only were both those occurrences live and there was no death message, but it's just simply never been confirmed. It's just speculation.
What if his death from Hitting on 16 was death number 1, his death from Sam was death number 2, and he's not a ghost, just locked as Enderboo.
Another factor that lends its hand to this idea is the way we see Ghostboo talking to Ranboo in his book.
It's not disdainful like some thought Ghostboo would act before. Actually, he seems sorry. He seems sorry he's causing Ranboo pain. He seems sorry that he's not been brought back yet.
Ranboo asks where he is, but Ghostboo responds "You... are dead." with hesitation.
He tries to numb the pain by not experiencing pain or emotion. He and Ranboo are linked.
They always have been.
If Ghostboo is Enderboo, that's how it always has been too. Enderboo didn't ever seem to feel or experience much pain, Ranboo suffered the repercussions.
They play the pronoun game when they bring up 'him', whoever he is was supposed to help bring Ranboo back. We don't know who this could be. It could be Dream, it could be Tubbo, it could be Techno or Phil.
Ghostboo hasn't spoken to him in awhile, but he's not spoken to anyone in awhile.
In the book, Ghostboo explains that people are safe, and that he will continue to try and protect them and Ranboo, something that Enderboo has always done, while he tries to find a way to bring Ranboo back. Maybe when Ghostboo said to be wary that he sometimes aimlessly wonders the mansion alone, it's his own version of an 'enderwalk', but if Enderboo & Ranboo switched, it's really Ranboo wondering around that maze of a mansion. Who knows.
It could be possible that Enderboo will continue the experiments, to continue to try and find a way to give Ranboo access to all his memories and powers without this odd disconnect.
Whatever it is, it is very interesting to think about what if Ghostboo is hiding that he's not actually a ghost. There's a lot of evidence and things that point to it, whether it includes the whole Enderboo idea or not.
Anyway, that's the theory.
Rip techno <3 I hope you know we love you and we miss you. There will never be another Technoblade. You will live forever in our hearts and minds
Watching Girl Meets World, and Rosie Mcgee and May Clutterbucket are hella gay
"Your motivating goal cannot be to join Ramy"
absolutely lost it over this fic by @neuro-psyche so. have this comic o(- (
go read it rn if u also love some Good identity reveal fic!!!!
I can't stop thinking about how Max was the first person who genuinely loved El unconditionally, without any kind of guilt or trauma that solidified their bond.
Because Hopper sold her out in order to save Will and Mike used her to save Will so of course they have guilt about that. Pretty much everyone used her before they started being kind to her but Max was different.
Max wanted to be El's friend before they even met. And after El brushed her off by ignoring her in s2 and consistently running off to make out with Mike (I assume), without hesitation she dropped whatever to hang out with El. Literally made her needs a priority, and did whatever fun things they could think of together. Trying to get to know El, help her know herself. It doesn't feel like anyone else really did that. Didn't try to lock her away, wanted her to be free. Truly free.
"you have superpowers" acknowledging that they were a part of her, not her entire being, not putting her up on a pedestal. Not trying to "protect" her from the world because her powers would make the bad men find her and take her away but for the very first time brought it to El's attention that her powers would protect her not condemn her.
Max was the first person who essentially tried to embrace El for everything she was or could be without holding her back in any way whatsoever.
Okay, so for MoM, want a Agatha All Along reprise, but with Wanda.
Imagine Strange thinking Wanda's going to help him. Imagine him realizing that Wanda might be against him.
Imagine Wanda in the background humming the beginning of Agatha All Along.
"Who's been messing up everything?"
The screen focuses on Wanda.
"Its been Wanda all along."
Wilbur made another Reddit post about Ghostbur. No exclamation point today
Hey guys! Got some good news!
Ghostbur isn’t dead. Ghostbur is suspended. He’s never had a ‘living’ body and never will but to say he is dead is a misrepresentation.
Ghostbur is as close to a torturous limbo as he can possibly get. He has been in the afterlife for almost 6000 days! (That’s 16 years) and it never seems to get easier.
Not only is he confined to a life of loneliness and silent darkness but every ache, every pain, every little sting he feels on his body never seems to subside. He hurt his fingers scratching a wall over a decade ago but they still feel raw as if it was yesterday.
But that’s not pertinent to his current situation. That’s the last injury Ghostbur was afflicted with. He has spent the past years sat, limply leaning against the damp wall. Even if he was to retain any injury he contracted it wouldn’t matter.
He hasn’t moved in years.
He hasn’t checked the dot matrix out of fear. The room lights up whenever it updates and Ghostbur scrunches his eyes up as tight as he can until the light fades a few hours later.
This also helps dam the tears from burning his cheeks as he himself is damned to this plane.
He has spent 5 months on the material plane. He has spent 16 years in limbo.
A new addition to Ghostbur’s horrific existence is the slow burning of his memory. As time elapses he seems to lose track of his good memories as well as the bad ones he forgot long ago. Only a few remain;
He remembers the smell of baked bread.
He remembers sparring with technoblade as a child.
He remembers the crowds and the loud cheers.
He remembers a guillotine.
He remembers a cold eternal icy wasteland.
He remembers Tommy’s kindness.
One thing remains true. Ghostbur is the remnant of a plighted man who was sentenced to death for his evil. Ghostbur’s situation is a result of that man’s return.
Ghostbur feels guilty. Ghostbur misses everyone.
Goodbye
