down and out, i've been on the rocks
i've been having some pretty dark thoughts
I have to speak about this more clearly or I will explode because I've been having thoughts... So much thoughts about ctommy
Obviously, tommy is a victim. Everyone knows that.
But the thing about tommy is that he's a "Bad victim", and something I've noticed in the fandom is that people mischaracterize/alter ctommy to fit a narrative that'll make him a better victim, if that makes sense
When it comes to a character like cranboo, a lot of people In the fandom tend to prefer him over victims like ctommys character. And you know why?
It's because cranboo's is an easier character to "Sympathize" with. A character that's easier for you to defend compared to ctommy, and we know that with how much some people literally defend dream abusing ctommy with "But he was annoying!!" Or "He burned down George's house!!" (THE TRENCHES OF DSMPTWT DISCOURSE... 2021)
Tommy cannot keep relationships, tommy is flawed. He always has been flawed but the abuse that was done made him more flawed, he acts out, he has angry outbursts and he's easily irritable, he has abandonment issues and he works impulsively. He has more enemies than friends because everyone on the server refuses to acknowledge that a child got abused. And they refuse to acknowledge that the said child is not "acting out" but instead handling his trauma the best way/only way he can to protect himself
Tommy is more angry than sad at the world. He tries his best to not be like c!Ranboo, he doesn't always try to mend his relationships because he is *scared* of them. Because, how can he really trust them? He can't. People—The *adults* have proven him that time and time again
I absolutely adore how cc!Tommy gave us such a raw and realistic victim, accidentally or not. Since we know that 75% of the time cTommy was just cc!Tommy doing whatever on the server and accidentally getting himself into shit. ctommy is so incredibly flawed and realistic in how he acts, how he has more enemies than friends—All because of the adults on the server neglecting a child. Seeing him as mature yet not all at the same time. Getting angry and annoyed when he lashes and acts out yet almost disturbed when he finally does something "right" ("mature" and unexpected from him)
This post has gotten long but I have 2020010101728290155515167 thoughts about ctommy everyday
paces back and forth muttering they couldn’t even handle ctommy
I'm sorry I saw this tweet and didn't have enough room to scream on my priv.
Dream literally did nothing other than suggest blowing up L'Manberg during the Revolution until Tommy's exile. And look at how that went. After Tommy's disc finale he sat and rotted in a prison, not answering people, and existed ENTIRELY as a plot device people had to drag him to do every few months.
LITERALLY THAT'S ONE OF THE WORST PARTS OF THE SERVER. He took up being the big bad, then didn't answer people and locked himself in a prison and stalled lore and delayed things and just fucking sucked. And his important role in most people's lore could have easily been replaced by a cardboard cutout after exile ended.
BBH paid for the server. People were already getting bored as fuck when Wilbur joined. Do people seriously forget how quickly vanilla Minecraft servers died back then? Literally the introduction of L'Manberg gave people something to do other than walking up the same wooden path over and over.
Bait used to be believable. I'm sorry if you think that guy was a good actor you literally never watched Wilbur or Charlie or Quackity. I never cared for Techno's 4th wall breaks, but you can't compare a single monologue Drm made to ANY of Techno's. The amount of crazy good and memorable lines everyone else had in comparison is hilarious. He wasn't even the best actor on the Dteam and one of those dude's slept through the whole story.
THE PRISON WAS THE WORST ARC THE SERVER HAD AND WAS AN EYESORE TO LOOK UPON
Fuck that guy. He wanted to be the villain and then would fucking retcon and change shit to make sure his guy never lost. Even when the story would try to frame something as a loss for him his ass would come back months later and go UM ACTUALLY like he's the fucking JK Rowling of Minecraft Roleplay.
"Family Reunion"
Nightmare thought Dream was dead long time ago when he turned to stone. He was grieving. But now only thing left is some vague memories. And the last thing he expected is to see Dream ever again. Must be terrible for this child to see what he has become.
Btw I named this au "Brother roots" :3
Tommy talks about the elephant in the room
Tommy made a post saying he'll address everything when he is ready, and to support Shelby.

Man it’ll be sooo funny when someone remembers that weird ink sans guy finally after years, draws him once, and then stops immediately. Wow crazy
Can you fucking imagine. that'd happen more than once. ink getting just enough paint to move around for a day or two before running out again and then one person remembers him and draws him once AGAIN. error doesnt even get a warning it's like five nights at freddy's he has to look back at the guy to check if he's dead or not
people on Twitter are always a tad annoying when I post dsmp, they're like "OMGGG DSMP IN 2024??" and I can't really get mad at them ? since they're very clearly happy about it but man for someone that's been posting dsmp since 2020 it feels a bit patronizing? almost
