C!Tommy Was Never A Vengeful Character. He Didn’t Try To Kill C!Dream To Punish Him For The Pain He

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.

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

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? :(
