The enhancing mutagen is 5th level, and the surgical strike is 9th level!
The updated (and hopefully finalized) version of the Stitcher!
the virgin tommy “needs a whole book and another persons help to come back from the dead” innit vs the chad jack “crawled out of hell with his own two hands” manifold
guess what I did instead of being productive all day
can i just say? i’m 100% on c!tommy’s side here, i thought it was great that he had that moment of realization that he started caring too much about the discs and he was starting to push away tubbo, his best friend, and it was making him do things he resented. but techno?
even after everything that happened he still took tommy in, gave him shelter, hid him from dream, gave him armor and eventually learned to be open with his plans around him. tommy, who essentially used him as a weapon! who marked techno down as being on his side and then refused to listen to his ideas about the government. who painted techno as a villain when all he ever did was stick to the values he was always open with.
techno went to the festival with the full intention of sticking by tommy’s side no matter what only to get cast aside yet again, by someone he genuinely thought he could trust.
and a big part of this is that tommy wasn’t always on board with destroying l’manburg even when he said that he was and there’s a big miscommunication aspect here but damn if i don’t feel for pig man. it really feels like no one’s been on his side for the beginning and maybe he has a right to feel angry about that.

tw// suicide
(want to note that this is about the CHARACTERS on dream smp, not any of the actual creators. the fact that anyone feels strongly about this proves that these people are telling a good story. I am also not genuinely angry/upset at any fan, even though this rant may seem like I am. I promise it's all good; this is just silly little minecraft roleplay and not something to be genuinely upset over).
i think the fact that people feel sympathy for c!dream is very interesting, especially considering the fact that many people seemed to feel absolutely no sympathy for c!tommy.
dream is a manipulative motherfucker on purpose. that's his job as a complex villain, and he's doing it very well. he's acting all sad and dejected over losing his friends and items (even though he previously stated that he never cared about any of those things) to make tommy feel bad for him. he's doing it to pull at tommy's heartstrings, but not just tommy's. dream is also trying to guilt trip chat. to make the viewers feel bad for him. to sympathize with him, even though he's in no way deserving of that sympathy. there are pleanty of things I can list that dream has done wrong, but one, I believe, is most important: dream abused tommy so badly that he considered suicide.
how could one possibly feel even an ounce of sympathy for someone who drove another person, a CHILD, to off themselves? dream hurt tommy so badly that being dead seemed like a better option. a way out. how fucking sickening is that?
tommy has fucked up on many occasions, no doubt about that. but to say that the punishments he's received fit the crimes he's commited is completely untrue. no matter what you've done, you don't deserve death, and you CERTAINLY do not deserve to be beaten down to the point where death seems like a better alternative to being alive.
unlike tommy, dream is an unfeeling character. he cares about nothing other than himself. he had pleanty of opportunities to be a better person. he could've learned from his experiences and grown from them. but he didn't. he never did, because he doesn't care. tommy, especially as of late, knows that he's messed up, and is learning from that. he's apologizing, acknowledging his mistakes, and making an effort to be a better person.
unlike tommy, dreams crimes do fit this punishment. he deserves to be in that prison, and he deserves to feel bad, if he truly does. he should. that's the point.
this kind of sympathy that I've been seeing float around in tommy's chat today and generally online baffles me. where was this sympathy when tommy was exiled? when he described how poorly he was doing? when he physically looked worse? when he was having visions of tubbo? when he was so irrational that he rejected help from ranboo, the only person who visited him? when he almost killed himself on multiple occasions?
was it "too hard" to sympathize with tommy because of his brash nature, which is normal for a kid his age?
or was tommy "too hard" to sympathize with because he displayed, and continues to display the "ugly" symptoms of mental illness and abuse?
dreams tone and word choices are deliberate. don't let this facade blind you from the character dream really is.
I'm not mentally ill I just have an unparalleled commitment to the bit
wake up, you’re dreaming again.
THE HARGREEVES SIBLINGS as D&D CLASSES
incomplete list of quotes that sound like they’re from classics but are instead from minecraft roleplay:
“Independence or death. If we get no revolution, then we want nothing.”
“The thing about this world is that the only universal language is violence, and we’ve had that conversation.”
“This isn’t the right thing to do. This isn’t the moral thing to do. What’s the point in doing anything if you’ve lost all hope?”
“Please remember that I’ve gotten everything taken away from me, and you know what they say about a woman that has nothing to lose.”
“This is the last moment for Judas to reveal themselves. Who’s the traitor?”
“However, I am questioning my own stand in this war. Am I on the right side? There is no true answer to the question, and it can only be told by time.”
