YOUR CITY GAVE ME ASTHMA & VILBUR ARC THEORY inspired by @tamatojam’s take on the new tommy, ghostbur, and vilbur lore!

currently alive, just got out hell (train station). the line “ur city gave me asthma” and all the following ones about it are about l’manberg and the next verse, starting with “shout at the wall” reference his time in death. i’d like to think that the buildup to -
- “there’s a reason that london puts barriers on the tube line” is like a WHOAH BAM moment and represent his revival and, ultimately, ghostburs death
saline solution
something happens (maybe ghostbur manifesting himself in wilburs brain as his consciousness hence “blurring the fact and the fiction”, “i think this time im dying” & “i think ive lost my mind”) that makes him question himself and his sanity ultimately choosing -

- to do right by ghostbur (or perhaps phil, niki, or fundy) which leads to the last verse where he seems angry at himself for making his choice and trying to fix things which honestly makes sense in the context of the story since he clearly wants to believe he was destructive -
- since he still thought he made the doomsday crater even though tommy clearly told him it wasn’t him.
i’d like to think he’s a bit mad at himself as well as ghostbur and that he’ll team up with the bench trio after this bit

since i saw vienna

- makes the journey, whether that be an errand for tommy or just a wander like ghostbur used to do to. “i’ll put down my roots when i’m dead” referring to him starting to come to terms with stopping dream with tommy & foreshadowing for the last song :)
losing face
“this is not an act of spite, it’s a visceral coming to” prob a mindset during an argument with the bench trio when he finally snaps. this is the final reckoning. wilbur gets a chance to talk (“tonight im fucking drunk so it’s all gonna be about me”) & is able to -

- share everything about the 13 years he had while dead and why he’s having trouble wanting to kill dream. “ive lost a piece of me in u but youve lost all ur past” being a dig at tommy and tubbo. the main subject of the song is prob ghostbur, and him being angry that they seem -
- to miss him more. eventually, since nobody’s good with communication here, there’s a screaming match. tommy & wilbur both part ways, quite literally losing face (false sense of peace) with each other.
“yes i don’t know what i’ll fucking do” is perfect for this lmao

ur sister was right
vilbur reflecting & communicating. a lot of these lines are spot on (the whole song is!!) so i’ll just put some quotes here!
“i thought i couldn’t love anymore, turns out i can’t, just not for the same reasons as before”
“i use everyone i ever meet”

“i thought i couldn’t love anymore, turns out i can’t, just not for the same reasons as before”
“i use everyone i ever meet”
“abuse those i love while i ostracize the ones that love me back”
“i don’t deserve u but u deserve the world”
“im nothing but a problem, leave u crying overnight”
“im a wanker, complete wanker, a fucking waste of time”

la jolla
messy apologies, broken contracts, & a realization that he hurt tommy too much & that if he really cares about him (no he doesn’t no he doesn’t no he doesn’t), he has to let go
“i could pack my things & be gone before u wake”

“you know i’ve tried hard to love me too (it always seems to fall in, though)”
“im trying to ignore the skyline so i don’t figure out where you-“
the ringing phone represents how he never tells anybody of this plan, but there is a noticeable shift in his behavior

im sorry boris
wilbur sacrifices himself to kill dream. everyone is shocked & he isn’t sure what will happen to him, but he’s sure that he doesn’t want to leave all these people who can finally look him in the eye.
“im leaving, im not good for anyone here”

“im leaving, im not good for anyone here”
“i don’t think i want to leave u here alone”
“even tho i’m finished im not quite down with it” (lmanburg)
“my lovers my colleges my best friends & enemies i dont think i want to leave u”
he tries to smile as he dies, in part bc he’s relieved but also so that tommy knows hes ok
