I’m still just like

there are literal castles on the dream smp, there are extravagant cities all over the server (made of gold and glamour and overlooked by a god in more ways than one, a city of lights meant to dazzle and charm until those found in it have been bled dry, a beautiful city that sits hollow on the inside), there’s a Mansion bought by the richest person on the server that sits empty.

and the person that phil thinks needs to learn a lesson about not being materialistic is the boy whose lived in a literal dirt hut for well over a year (except for when he was living in a tent on a beach alone for months, of course) who watched his home get destroyed three times, gave up the things that phil thinks he’s too attached to for other people three times, and Got Shot And Died for the sake of his friends.

Okay Peepaw, Okay.

*don’t say it, don’t say it OKAY I’m saying it:* I’M FEELIN 32. And Alana is feeling 30. Don’t worry we tested everyone! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, I love you all so much 🥰🎂

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.

There is no Ghostboo.

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.

The best part about Tubbo lying about being pregnant to come to Pogtopia and then, after getting caught talking to Tommy, lying that Tommy is his gynecologist is the fact that Manberg cabinet was concerned about this not because Tubbo’s “gynecologist” is an enemy of state and it’s strange that Tubbo associates with him, but because Tommy in their opinion is a shitty gynecologist and would harm Tubbo’s “baby”.

I can't believe people are still shitting on Piper Mclean and calling Piper powerless and shit like SHE COULD MAKE YOU KILL YOURSELF WHY ARE WE FORGETTING THAT?!?!?!
