c!Tommy was never a vengeful character. He didn’t try to kill c!Dream to punish him for the pain he went through. Tommy wanted catharsis for his trauma and then a peaceful life afterwards. Even though he didn’t want to kill anyone (he says so to Tubbo in the finale, while theyre planning to attack Dream,) he thought it was the only choice he had.
Tommy didn’t want to kill. He didn’t want revenge. He only committed to it because he was convinced it was the only solution, the only way to find that catharsis and peace. Tommy’s happy ending was never about murder or revenge, but about healing from his trauma. Understanding Dream gave Tommy the catharsis he wanted. For him, it made it make sense. Does that mean he forgave Dream? Probably not, though it’s hard to know since the nuke came so soon after. But when Dream asked if it was too late, when he expressed for the first time a willingness to change, Tommy realized he didn’t have to kill for the catharsis & peace he wanted.
It’s not an ending that’s for everybody, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like the finale, there’s a million other shows and books you will like. But I loved it. To me, there’s no happy ending more powerful than kindness, empathy, and understanding being more powerful than anything else. Even if the loss of the old server & memories after the nukes and the Incident is tragic, to me that only makes the finale bittersweet. I’ll always enjoy a story about compassion over a story about just revenge, especially when it’s so much more fitting to who Tommy is as a character.
Oh my god sbi is the token straight friends
I just woke up to dream getting rejected, going dark and absolutely going feral on main
if you say that c!tommy doesn't care about c!wilbur or vice versa, you have fundamentally misunderstood their entire dynamic and relationship to each other
c!tommy makes snarky and rude comments to c!wilbur because he's just a teenager who doesn't know how to communicate all the hurt he feels. no matter what, he's still at c!wilbur's side. he doesn't know how to help him or how to fix everything, but he would never choose to leave him or give up on him.
c!wilbur doesn't apologize to c!tommy because he's terrified of c!tommy leaving him. he's the most important person to c!wilbur and the person whose opinion matters most, because if c!tommy leaves him, all of his fears of being the "villain," of being irredeemable become true. if he apologizes to c!tommy, that gives c!tommy the chance to not forgive him and leave him behind.
the whole reason they are so tragic is BECAUSE of how much they love each other, not because they are bad for each other
Remember when you read for fun, instead of escapism?
Good times.
Ok but why is no one mentioning Jason in the new pjo book?
Like percy thinking about what Jason said during BOO and the fact that he's technically still alive during the books means a probable future cameo. Why the ull has the fandom just forgotten sparky? :(
With that trailer out, it is officially time for Percy Jackson to dethrone the other guy to become the iconic personality building children's media. Hogwarts houses and patronuses are out, godly parents and fatal flaws are in
i’m tired of the “mike wheeler doesn’t deserve will byers” posts because im sorry, are we talking about the same mike wheeler?
the mike wheeler that went out looking for will, not once, but twice, even after being specifically told not to, and even after everyone believed he was dead
the mike wheeler that keeps a binder full of will’s drawings and has them plastered all over his bedroom and basement walls, the mike wheeler who had the biggest smile once he got his hands on will’s art once again
the mike wheeler that defended will and stood up to his bully in front of the entire school
the mike wheeler that would always notice when there was something wrong with will
the mike wheeler that reassured will
the mike wheeler who slept in a hospital chair to not leave will’s side
the mike wheeler that biked all the way across town in the pouring rain to apologize to will after their fight, and when he couldn’t find him ran to the woods because he knew he’d be there
the mike wheeler who said this
and this
you really think this mike wheeler
doesn’t deserve will byers?
