* While most of the major events were at least partially planned (while the dialogue within them is improvised, leaving the participants with much more room to fill in the blanks), Eret has given more details on how exactly the scripts are made and planned [[https://theeretblr.tumblr.com/post/678770557202923520/hey-eret-im-curious-about-the-scripting-method on Tumblr]].
-->'''cant-see-sam:''' Hey Eret! I’m curious about the scripting method of the Dream SMP. Could you possibly show us a few of the past scripts so we could have a sneak peek? I’m just wondering because I know a lot of the famous lines were unscripted.\\
'''theeretblr:''' The way scripting is done on the DMSP is different depending who's organising it. Generally it consists of someone writing their big overarching ideas in a google doc and other people giving suggestions and making changes as a group until we're all happy with it.\\
I will say though, the number of times I've seen "[Name] says something cool" in the middle of the plan is more than I'd like to count LOL

* In one of Tubbo's alt streams, Wilbur cleared up a PlotHole -- how would Alivebur be able to see Ghostbur's memories if he was stuck in the train station without any external stimuli for 13 years? According to Wilbur, similar to [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes seeing your life flash before your eyes]] during a near-death experience, Alivebur saw Ghostbur's life go by in real-time, essentially living through all of Ghostbur's memories before waking up by the L'Manburg crater.

Many of the content creators have elaborated on their characters and their arcs in the roleplay through social media.
----

* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamsmp/comments/jw5pay/saw_a_lot_of_people_making_alignment_charts_of/ In a Reddit post uploaded after the finale of Season 1]], Wilbur assigned ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' alignments for certain characters. He would also reply to particular comments to that post in order to clarify alignments, as well as answer questions about the Dream SMP.
** Schlatt, Dream, Techno and Fundy are not human, while everyone else is.
** Both "L'Manburg" and "L'Manberg" are correct spellings.
** How "dead" people are is decided purely by plot convenience.
** Wilbur wrote a large portion of the character interactions in collaboration with the other content creators.
** Even though pretty much everything was planned, a lot of stuff changed on the spot due to improv moments. For example, Techno was ''not'' supposed to use a firework for Tubbo's execution, so Schlatt and Quackity were not supposed to die in the crossfire.

* In response to a Reddit post about Fundy's character being trans, Wilbur said that it would only be canon if Fundy felt comfortable with it (as he is a cisgender male in real life) and if the fanbase was fine with it. Otherwise, it would be retconned.
** When Fundy was asked about it, he replied that he was fine with his character being trans but he, much like Wilbur, would retcon it if people took issue with it.

* Dream stated on Twitter that the engagement between the characters of Fundy and Dream is not canon to the SMP, though it has been mentioned multiple times in the plot before by some characters (most notably [[WordOfSaintPaul Fundy himself]]) who act like it's canon.

* After being asked [[https://www.twitch.tv/wilbursoot/clip/ProudTenuousSandpiperResidentSleeper who the older brother is]], Wilbur confirmed that, in canon, he and Techno are twins, though Techno is older by two minutes.
** However, this was debunked and changed by Philza and Technoblade, because their relationship made much more sense as best friends rather than as father and son.

* Tommy's reaction to Techno joining Pogtopia was completely genuine, not because he wasn't told, but because he hadn't bothered to read the script.

* Ranboo has [[https://twitter.com/ranaltboo/status/1345920037677195265 stated on Twitter]] that his character on the SMP does not have a SplitPersonality, as he does not want to misrepresent systems[[note]]those who experience dissociative identity disorder or OSDD-1b[[/note]].
** Ranboo also clarified that his character is not human.

* According to Dream, George sleeping through [[RunningGag another]] huge lore event, the Doomsday War this time, was on purpose. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen He had a minor optional part written in]], but he just chose to not show up.

* Philza has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgexy5NP6Ak&t=1281s stated]] that his character will [[ForegoneConclusion eventually]] be KilledOffForReal, and that it was "not a matter of if", but rather "a matter of when". His ghost counterpart's name will be Ghostza, and if he has Dream's permission, will be have [[ThrowingOffTheDisability his wings]] [[HealthyInHeaven restored]] by [[https://clips.twitch.tv/CrepuscularWonderfulOysterPicoMause having a pair of Elytra permanently bound to his back]] in the game.

* It is stated that during the Disc Confrontation, Punz was originally going to say, "Sorry Dream, but money talks", before Sam recommended the quote used in the livestream, i.e. "You should have paid me more".

* It is revealed on Twitter that Foolish volunteered to have his character executed during the Red Banquet.

* Sapnap has [[https://twitter.com/sapnapalt/status/1389450541537824768?s=19 confirmed]] that his character is human, jossing several fan theories about him being part-demon (due to being [=BadBoyHalo=]'s son, though adopted) or part-blaze, and says that he envisions his character to look like SAD-ist's depiction of him in her animatics. On the flip side, he does think that his character having PlayingWithFire powers "would be awesome", and believes that his character having FlamingHair when he gets mad is "super cool", only that he didn't know if it could be canon.

* In one of Tubbo's alt streams, Wilbur cleared up a PlotHole -- how would Alivebur be able to see Ghostbur's memories if he was stuck in the train station without any external stimuli for 13 years? According to Wilbur, similar to [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes seeing your life flash before your eyes]] during a near-death experience, Alivebur saw Ghostbur's life go by in real-time, essentially living through all of Ghostbur's memories before waking up by the L'Manburg crater.
