The Virgin Tommy “needs A Whole Book And Another Persons Help To Come Back From The Dead” Innit  vs

Never have I ever encountered a character so obviously a villain on paper, but that I am so emotionally incapable of thinking of as a villain.

it's rotten work. especially to me especially if it's you. I'll fucking do it but christ alive.

Okay, so I know everyone is going nuts over Tommy & Tubbo but I wanted to take a second to appreciate Clay’s acting and skills as c!Dream. The man has done some amazing stuff and it really shows in Tommy/Tubbo’s finale.

The part that I think went under appreciated, but really impressed me, was the fight scene on the mountain.

We all know Clay is super good at the game. In an actual battle, he could have won very easily. During this scene it would’ve been easy to slip up (plot-wise) and accidentally kill c!Tommy or c!Tubbo. But if you watch carefully, you could see how Clay was pushing each of them until they were close to death, and then giving them a chance to breathe by switching his attention to the other. He also very clearly signals Tommy for when he knows Tubbo’s health is too low, and c!Dream needs to do a ‘villain monologue’ to stall for time so Tubbo’s health bar can regenerate. (Not to mention giving his character a villainious reason for why they’re ‘not really trying’).

To be frank, Clay’s acting, control, and skills amaze me b/c, somehow, in the heat of this fight scene he managed to actively keep assessing wether or not his opponents were low, and back off accordingly, while still giving the viewer an entertaining fight scene. Like holly cow, that could not have been easy, but he did it flawlessly!!

In conclusion: The whole thing was just awesome! And I doubt there are many players who could have pulled that off!! Well Done Clay!!! You were fantastic!!!

There's so much pain in that second to last image.

Phil: It’s Christmas and you know what that means.

Tubbo: Everyone is going to try to kill each other at the dinner table?

Techno: The sweet release of death?

Wilbur: Getting drunk on my own while crying in the bathtub?

Tommy: The fact that I will only get coal from Santa?

Phil: I was going to say “ugly sweaters competition” but you know what? We’re going to therapy.

I love how muppets walk I wish I could walk like that

I think what I enjoy most about tommy and techno's dynamic now is just how much tommy is leaning on him for support and just how unconditionally willing techno is to give him that. Though he shows plenty of exasperation and frustration at times with tommy, protecting him is never not an option. It's also not even a question for him to hide him from dream. Tommy is so clearly terrified and he needs reassurance that he'll be safe. And when that fear arrives, he gives tommy a choice. He can go see dream or he can hide. He can go to Logstedshire or run back home. He can stay behind in L'manburg or go back with techno. He can run from the Final Control Room or face his past. He obviously still doesn't like where tommy is at the moment- expressing annoyance and confusion at tommy's feelings towards dream- but he doesn't force a conclusion on him. Just quietly reminds tommy of what dream has done and lets him work it out for himself. And when tommy gets upset, like with the Final Control Room and Logstedshire, he doesn't push him to confront it, though it's clear he'd be supportive of any decision he makes about confronting his trauma. What techno understands right now is that tommy hasn't been treated as equal for a long time. Tommy isn't allowed choice. And now that tommy is finally free from all the people pushing him around, the best way to support him is to let him know that he can choose. Techno is right: tommy does have no free will. But it doesn't need to be like that forever, and as long as techno had a say in it, it won't.

guess what I did instead of being productive all day
