Every time I see someone try to lean into the softness of the crimeboys ending it just makes it feel more cruel.
I see something like This
And it makes me think about how c!Wilbur leaving wasn't some quiet inevitablity or a sudden tragedy that nobody could have stopped, it was a choice.
Wilbur wasn't taken, not by tragedy and not by a person, he left. He left Knowing that the people he cared about weren't safe and weren't okay. And then he tried to present That as softness. Not just to us the audience, to the narrative, but to tommy.
And that's what needles me about people trying to present it this way, about it being presented as necessary and soft and healing.
Because wilbur's allowed to prioritize himself. he's allowed to say that he doesn't want to stay, that he doesn't want to be there to protect tommy or tubbo or fundy or anyone else, but he can't have his cake and eat it too. He doesn't get to make the choice to leave them at the mercy of an abuser and serial killer and expect them to be there when He's ready to have a relationship with them. He doesn't get to avoid being honest, to avoid talking about it at all, until he's skipping town to a new country and expect the trust to be there when He wants it.
Wilbur is under no obligation to stay, but tommy is under no obligation to forgive him. Wilbur is under no obligation to protect tommy from a monster, but choosing to abandon tommy with his serial killer abuser on the loose utilizing the power of a god Should erode whatever foundation that relationship had left.
It's not Fair to expect tommy to forgive him, that it's taken for granted that his trust doesn't have to be earned or nurtured. It's not fair that he's been abandoned and left behind and hurt time and time and time again and yet he always forgives, perpetually waiting for the chance to Earn being loved and being left behind anyways.
Letting his anger and sadness at wilbur go because there's nothing he can ever do to have his feelings respected wouldn't be Healthy. It's not the soft ending where everything's allowed to be okay. It'd be a link in a long pattern of unhealthy behavior.
Phil didn't have to apologize, in fact he told tommy to his face that he earned the trauma he gave him by being selfish and tommy not only Let him, but he tried to follow Phil's advice to Fix himself. Because he Needs somebody, Anybody to be there.
He refused to let tubbo apologize after exile because he saw Himself as a bad person, because he Believed that he wasn't worth saving. He held himself responsible for betraying techno before doomsday even started, despite techno being the one who lied to Him. Even if he'd been angry, even if he'd recognized that techno hurt him at first, he quietly let that anger go because techno was Never going to acknowledge that.
He's full of abandonment issues a mile deep and desperately Desperately wants to hold on to the people he cares about, but time and time again he's nobody's priority. Nobody will choose him no matter how desperately he needs it.
This will not teach him to not have abandonment or attachment issues, this will not make the genuine threat of being kidnapped and tortured for eternity go away.
The only thing worse than Wilbur knowingly choosing to leave him when he's in This vulnerable of a position, without even talking it through with him, is the idea that Tommy's not even allowed to be angry about it. That even if he Is angry now he just doesn't have the Perspective to know that it's a good thing yet and he'll Learn eventually.
Just like he Learned that he was selfish all along for wanting to protect his home and friends. Just like he Learned that he was an annoying child that just needed to be fixed.
Nobody has to put in the Work to earn Tommy's love and trust, he just has to realize that he never had the right to be upset in the first place.

Misako would win please and thank you
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
What if Phil didn't adopt any of his kids and it was all Wilbur
obsessed with the idea that c!wilbur just found tommy one day & was like ‘ :] cool, free baby brother ‘
Techno: *is being overwhelmed by the voices*
Phil: *shoves a potato in his mouth*
a lot of straight mcyt ccs are really good at how they interact with and incorporate their lgbt fanbases but personally nothing will ever top how one time in high school a lesbian told techno he was “actually pretty funny” and now the mutual appreciation between him and his lesbian fans is like a notable part of his brand

i love minecraft guys :)
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
I’ve been seeing a lot of talk recently about how “c!Techno’s comparison to c!Tommy and Theseus doesn’t make any sense” and “he should’ve compared him to [insert other Greek myth here] during that speech instead!”
And while I see where everyone is coming from, I don’t agree with wanting him to change his comparison and here’s why:
c!Techno’s comparison of c!Tommy and Theseus wasn’t as spot on as he thought it was because c!Techno had the WRONG READ on c!Tommy.
Of course his Theseus comparison was wrong because he was talking about c!Tommy through his own twisted lens. He was so certain that c!Tommy wanted to be “hero” even though c!Tommy never wanted that title.
Because of this I personally wouldn’t want anything changed about the Theseus speech because c!Techno getting the wrong idea of c!Tommy’s motivations was entirely the reason why it happened and why he targeted c!Tommy specifically. It wouldn’t make sense if he compared c!Tommy to something that more accurate fit him during that speech because the whole point is that he has a warped view of who c!Tommy is.
Hypothetically how long would the human body survive if it suddenly lost all it's DNA?
I'm talking just your DNA, leaving behind RNA and nucleotide based compounds, (though if anyone has the answer of how long it would be if you lost all your ATCG's as well that would also be greatly appreciated!)
