okay but has anybody ever considered a slightly modified world where Wilbur (c!Wilbur, to be exact) speaks in a very poetic and roundabout way during serious moments to hide what he's feeling by twisting his words more than tree roots and losing everyone else with his silver tongue because vulnerability, especially to his opponents, is something he despises.

Also he and Tommyinnit get along so well because Tommy couldn't give two fucks about formal speak, and he'll bluntly tell you to your face that you look like the p#rn parody of yourself and you need to take a fucking shower

So you get Wilbur trying to hide himself behind his words, and Tommy who eases him out by blatantly stating how much he loves him and how brotherly he views their relationship

It is night and I have a severe case of stupidity and random headcanons
