All spoilers will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, all tropes pertain to the characters, not the content creators that play them.


Season One

  • During the Election/Manburg Arc, within the coalition government of SWAG2020 and Schlatt2020, the former got 30% of the popular vote while the latter only got 16%, meaning that logically speaking, Quackity should have become President instead of Schlatt, because he got the majority of the votes for the coalition. So with this in mind, why is Schlatt President and not Big Q? Did they have a prior agreement over who would become President if they won after pooling votes?
    • While Tommy was asking for the visa, he asked Schlatt if he and Quackity were both president. Quackity said they were working together, while Schlatt said that he was the only President. It's likely that Quackity let Schlatt make the inauguration speech for dramatic effect, and tried to be co-president at Schlatt's side, but Schlatt assumed all of the power without Quackity's input or approval.
  • The Dreamon exorcised from Dream's body is rather confusing, as it's hard to pin down their motive and what exact thing to do with the situation. This further complicates things when Fundy mentions the Egg is similar to a Dreamon, yet we don't know what the similarities exactly are. Although they get referenced occasionally, Dreamons have not made a reappearance since they started being investigated by the Dreamon Hunters, which means we lack very little information on Dreamons and how they work overall.
  • Quackity and Schatt were the only people standing near Tubbo's execution (other than Techno, of course). Schlatt and Quackity's death message displayed in chat and only Schatt lost his canon life in the crossfire. How did Quackity manage to survive the crossfire of Tubbo's execution?
    • If we are going by the fanon logic that "canon death = heavy scarring", perhaps he got away with severe injuries (in an in-universe context) and not death? Since Q used to have a canon death counted but it got retconned out, it's possible that people mistook his injuries for death when he in fact survived. It probably still would lead to severe scarring, though.

Season Three

  • What is the motive behind Ant's joining the Eggpire? Unlike the rest of the members who have their own vendetta to join the Eggpire, Ant doesn't seem to have any reason as to why he willing to choose this path.
    • This is eventually subverted in that Ant the content creator has confirmed that the reason he joined the Eggpire was that the Egg promised him Red in exchange for his allegiance.
  • If a day in reality is a month in the afterlife, how would Ghostbur's afterlife work? If he sees what people are saying in the real world on his dot matrix in real-time, wouldn't it be spread out over several days?
  • How did Quackity get his hands on a pair of (Elytra) wings for Chapter 2 of his May 22nd lore stream? Especially since this is supposed to take place on the Dream SMP, where access to the End dimension is forbidden, which means that it would be impossible for anyone to feasibly obtain a pair of Elytra. The only theory that makes sense without resorting to a Hand Wave would be the winged Quackity headcanon, but since this has never been brought up again, we don't know for sure if this is the case.
  • As of the 14 September 2021 lore flood, where on Earth did the dog even come from? There isn't really an in-universe explanation for its appearance; the assumed out-of-universe explanation would be that someone hit the dog and it teleported to Techno when he logged on, in a similar vein to Pussboi's appearance during the Lockdown.

Tales From the SMP

  • Is the future of the SMP static or flexible? As in, in Karl trying to prevent a Bad Future for the SMP, would it end in a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy to show what happens in the Tales episodes that take place in the future, e.g. "The Lost City of Mizu" and its historical revisionism, or is it possible to Screw Destiny to change it, i.e. is it possible to make it so that Mizu or the Subben Empire don't exist, or will have different cultures and information shown?
    • For clarification, an example: it's very obvious that the information displayed in the Lost City of Mizu is dated. For example, Wilbur got unpersoned after the destruction of L'Manburg and its historical records were destroyed during Doomsday, but after the episode was aired, he was brought Back from the Dead, making it less likely for him to suffer this fate. Therefore, would the contents in Mizu change to reflect this, or would Wilbur still be lost to history and time in the SMP's future as of this moment?
  • Speaking of the Lost City of Mizu, would those be the only "records" of the story of L'Manburg and the Disc Wars? Would there be other 'lost cities', so to speak, out there to tell more accurate stories of L'Manburg and the SMP's history in general?
  • How precisely are Ranbob and Ranboo related?
    • Ranbob claims descent from Ranboo, who is now married to Tubbo. This creates a lot of questions, including and not limited to what will happen to Ranboo and Tubbo in the future, the probability of Ranboo cheating (which I personally believe to be unlikely), the likeliness of Mpreg in the DSMP universe (the only leads we have on this phenomenon so far are dubiously canon or Makes Just as Much Sense in Context) and/or either of the characters being transgender, and whether we should even be thinking into this so hard.
    • There's also the theory of asexual reproduction and/or stranger forms of Mpreg, which is supported by the interpretation of canon where Sally the salmon was the one that fucked Wilbur, and Fundy grew from his amputated toe. Of course, that Makes Just as Much Sense in Context as well.
    • Of course, it's also possible that Ranbob might just be lying about his ancestry, but that opens up a whole other can of worms.
  • Is there any connection or correlation between the Inbetween's use of the ":]" emoticon and Quackity?
