i block ppl all the time so my blocklist ranges from "actual fucking asshole fascist" n "post that mildly annoyed me because im petty" and if i went thru my blocklist rn i probably would have no idea why i blocked each of them but whatever
free museum trips are wasted on unappreciative middle schoolers. let me go

there's something to be said about c!tommy rejecting l'manberg's presidency for the disc war (which, at the time, from c!tommy's perspective was a much smaller, personal conflict that he actually enjoyed) as a rejection of c!wilbur's control over his life only for c!wilbur to destroy l'manberg and die to punish him for it
Don’t get me started on the c!inniters who excuse c!Sam’s actions like my guy c!Dream wielded the potato, sure, but c!Sam isolated two people with their biggest triggers and at every fork in the road chose the wrong answer
like i just don't think you lock up an abuse victim with their abuser in solitary confinement for any stretch of time let alone several days let alone literally starve them too i think it says a lot about c!dream that he tolerated c!tommy's bullying as long as he did under the assumption that c!tommy would be out of his hair soon
It was like “hey so c!Wilbur abused c!Tommy and his absence created an abuse power vaccum that the circumstances of which just happened to fall into c!Dream’s lap as this perfect storm for his stupid plan” and then they screamed at me because “c!Wilbur and c!Tommy are brothers, he loved c!Tommy and was struggling mentally during Pogtopia because he was just betrayed by his only son so he was mentally ill and that’s why his actions during Pogtopia are excused. You are demonizing mental illness by saying that. He would never abuse c!Tommy”
like you're just right though that's literally what happened!!!!
also the wildest part to me is them immediately jumping to pogtopia when most of the on-screen abuse happens during l'manberg. like yeah, he scared the shit out of c!tommy in pogtopia, but that's mostly because the enmeshment was already there, and a lot of c!tommy's pogtopia trauma is more related to the thought of losing c!wilbur. like. yeah there is a lot of manipulation going on in pogtopia bc that's just how c!wilbur is with people but he was a little too busy having a psychotic episode to be doing shit like exploiting c!tommy's naivety and lack of life experience to deliberately obfuscate the fact that he was intentionally taking advantage of his power over c!tommy
Truth bomb. Wilbur was basically Tommy’s parental figure. When one sees correlations between Wilbur’s BS and Tommy’s baseline behaviour/mentality/flaws, it’s not much to assume causation. Listen to the sort of rhetoric Wilbur conjures and watch the sorts of things he does, and think about how Tommy’s psychology has been impacted by this guy from a young age. More reasons why it’s hard (and just stupid) to hold much against Tommy. Tommy is the main victim of the plot’s courses and central influences (such a inniter thing to say but it’s true). It isn’t at all fair to expect a teenager to be able to fully take responsibility for negative traits picked up from their guardians’ influence until they’ve at least reached adulthood. Tommy is the main victim of the plot’s courses and central influences.
like obviously a lot of what c!tommy does is bad and hurtful and at times genuinely cruel but also oh my god he literally does not know any better how is he supposed to know any better!!!!!
I remember saying that c!Dream was just taking advantage of groundwork laid by c!Wilbur and the c!Wilbur size abuse hole in c!Tommy’s brain created by his death and I was crucified by c!inniters for it because I was “demonizing mental health”
CRYIKGNG what
like c!dream apologists are often confused by this kid's behavior as if it's not painfully obvious why he acts the way he does if you even remotely expect c!tommy to behave like a human person and c!inniters are often confused about why his actions still matter to the people around him just because of why he does it when obviously someone hurting other people because they literally do not know any better does not mean the people they hurt shouldn't hold them accountable for it and crimeboyers well idk what to say to them like what c!wilbur does to him is not normal or a sign of love or just a brotherly relationship it's child abuse if your sibling treats you like that or you treat your sibling like that please seek help
what bad ctommy take are we vaguing today? (i have an idea based on what i saw on the dash but i'm nosy)
none i'm just bewildered at how often people are confused about why he acts the way he does like literally every time i think about him
i feel like a lot of c!tommy's interactions with people start making a lot more sense when you look at him as an abused, traumatized teenager who desires both safety and self-ownership over everything else and whose understanding of love and relationships and life and everything, really, is inextricable from c!wilbur
c!tommy loves people like he owns them, and like that ownership means he gets to control them and punish them and demand from them a kind of loyalty that defines anything outside of his approval as betrayal. it makes perfect sense why he thinks this is what it means to love someone: he's had to live his whole life reconciling c!wilbur loving him so much it suffocates them both with c!wilbur hurting him.
to c!wilbur it may as well be that love excuses the harm he caused. he loves c!tommy and he cares about him, and he knows the world will eat soft, naive, empathetic c!tommy alive if someone doesn't teach him how power works. he'll get himself killed if he keeps being brash and impulsive and loud, and c!wilbur is doing a good thing teaching him how to be obedient on the face of rightful authority. his eagerness to be good will only result in others taking advantage of him, so c!wilbur is doing him a favor by teaching how to lie and cheat and treat anyone ever telling him off for his behavior as a threat.
and maybe it's easy to think this is also how c!tommy sees things, more or less. that c!tommy is making a deliberate choice to act the way he does, and understands exactly what he's doing, and he's doing it with the excuse that love or a desire for safety is more important than whatever harm he caused. that he believes himself and his desires to be more important than everyone else.
but c!tommy is not the adult in this relationship. c!tommy is sixteen. he is just discovering who he is and what he wants and what he believes in instead of just repeating what he's been told by adults he trusts. he wants to have the freedom to make his own decisions and he wants to have someone with enough life experience to tell him what the answer is when he's faced with something he's never seen before so that he can be safe.
what c!tommy gets is a man who meets him as a child, names him after British slang for soldier and then years later asks to be called general.
i feel like a lot of c!tommy's interactions with people start making a lot more sense when you look at him as an abused, traumatized teenager who desires both safety and self-ownership over everything else and whose understanding of love and relationships and life and everything, really, is inextricable from c!wilbur
Get an ask in my inbox -> read it -> "oh, that's nice; I need to think of a good response" -> "this deservea more attention than I can give it rn; I'll take another look at it later" -> close inbox until later -> "later" never really comes -> forget -> repeat
fight club being often associated with the kind of cishet man that misunderstands fight club is wild to me because that thing is so gay not even the movie adaptation managed to make it not gay at all
if you don't know the big twist of fight club this will make no sense to you but this is literally pogtopia c!wilbur
