    *“sounds like someone who makes empty promises… was it Wilbur?”*
    but on a more serious note, Niki’s character is honestly heartbreaking and so immensely underrated. I’m glad that your making her a song, and i love your voice!

    oh dang this song hit me like a truck. it shows how much Niki cared about Wilbur and how much she trusted him. and how much his betrayal hurt her. my favourite lines are "so who's next on your list, of manipulated fools" and "oh why was I so naive, holding onto promises you couldn't keep". they're really powerful

    This was amazing, it perfectly captured Niki's conflict. She had thought that she'd finally moved on, found a place she felt safe, put him behind her, but he just had to come back, and come to the one place she'd found a home. Now she's afraid she can only watch as he does the same thing he did to L'manburg, corrupting her new home just like her old one.

    In my opinion, Niki’s life so far has been one of the most tragic lives on the SMP. She was hurt and betrayed by nearly everyone who she cared about (Wilbur, Tommy, Fundy, etc.) and even then she continued to be kind for so long... I really hope she gets to be happy again in the future. This song is incredible!

    Lyrics:
    I tried so hard to rescue you
    Now I see I was the one who needed saving.
    All of the pain you put me through
    And I can't believe they think you're finally changing.
    Cause you were a maniac, you still are.
    And they might not know better, but I know from all of the scars.
    So who's next, on your list of manipulated fools.
    And I know I shouldn't care about you, but I do.
    And you never asked for me, you never checked up on me, oh why was I so naive?
    Holding on to promises you couldn't keep.
    Why do you have to go invade, the only place that ever really gave me safety.
    The person that you were I watched them fade.
    Only a twisted apparition remains.
    So who's next? on your list of manipulated fools?
    And I know I shouldn't care about you, but I do.
    But you never asked for me.
    You never checked up on me.
    Oh why was I so naive?
    Holding on to promises, you couldn't keep.
    You're so manipulative, I finally figured it out.
    You never cared about me, you only cared about yourself.
    You were not the person, that I thought you were.
    You had to be in control, you had to have your power.
    So who's next? On your list, of manipulated fools?
    And I know I shouldn't care about you, but I do.
    But you never asked for me.
    You never checked up on me.
    Why was I so naive?
    Holding on to promises to promises you couldn't keep.
    Holding on to promises you couldn't keep
    (holding on to promises)
    Oh why was I so naive?
    (you couldn't keep).

      this song hits hard after what happened.. i looked up to wilbur and he was the first youtuber that turned out to be horrible. the two lyrics that hit the most are "The person that you were, I watched them fade. Only a twisted apparition remains" i don't see a friendly face when i see his face anymore i see just an average guy who's not even that pretty like i thought he first was. hes fugly and i hate his voice. hes putting effort into his voice when he sings so his singing voice probably sounds so wrong without him putting the effort to give him his accent- according to friends.

    I found this so late. But at least I found this masterpiece!
    So I've been reflecting on the relationship between c!Wilbur and c!Niki's characters.
    c!Wilbur struggles understanding other people's perspective unless they tell it to him straight. I think c!Wilbur is genuniely sorry for his wrongdoings to c!Niki. But c!Wilbur is a coward who despises conflict he doesn't have the upper hand with. In this case with c!Niki, c!Niki informs c!Wilbur of the pain he caused her. She made it clear she's still angry and won't hand her trust and heart. c!Wilbur didn't know how to respond to that. There's nothing that could be done to ammend those actions. The proper steps moving forward would be to provide gentle closure which c!Wilbur lacks the dedication and courage to provide. c!Wilbur's cowerdace distances himself from his conflicts with others. Then he gets wrapped up within his own head and agendas, which results in c!Wilbur distancing himself from those around him. c!Wilbur recongnizes this behavior but it's unclear to me if he recongizes this during his projects. I don't think so.
    c!Niki is fighting to regain her self preservation. She won't chance her heart to be battered and tossed with again. Then c!Niki forgave c!Wilbur for herself; that is very brave. Her willingness to move forward with c!Wilbur having whatever small or insignificant part he plays in her life. This will allow her wounds to heal while being left unjostled yet not neglected.
    I'd like to add I love c!Wilbur, he's one of my favotire characters. I take pride in understanding characters, especially on an emotional level. c!Wilbur is a very flawed man who has the capabilty to create and shatter the strongest steel. I sympothize with him. But that wouldn't stop me from smacking him with a chair. It's so heartbreaking to see how their world and people around them have been breaking them. But I love the story so much.
    Thank you for reading my daily c!DSMP Ted Talk. I am so tired. It is late and I have school tomorrow. Worth it. No amount of sleep deprivation can stop me from writing a mildly cohesive essay for Dream SMP lore. If you'd like join me at my Dream SMP Ted Talk & Theories google doc. Comment if you'd like to add anything or you can just simply read it if you want to enlighten yourself about the characters.

    Niki's character is extremely underrated and I think her character will pick up a lot now that the person she hates and loves the most is alive again

    I find it beautiful how Amanda really understood Niki’s point of view. Not only that but she has the talent to turn it into 160K views
