Hello yes thank you for welcoming me to the stage i'll Yapping about Tom to the audience again
-camera pans to an empty auditorium-
Something interesting I don't see often portrayed in Tom's character when others write him is how willing he is to give like 100 chances before he gets upset. I'll give examples not to worry my friends.
Like the most popular would be between Tord and Tom in "The End part 1/2"
In part 1, Yeah Tom wasn't happy to have Tord randomly pop in and attempt to break into his room, but during the adventures Tom is going along with them (albeit begrudgingly) accepting a jar helmet from Tord, helping film the movie, trusting tord to man the space station while they go out, and every time it seems to bite him in the ass but he's still there with them!
It's only when Tord get's everyone to sorta gang up on Tom where he gets upset and lashes out. How does he lash out? Well he throws a fit but surprisingly, deescalates his own rage by leaving the situation LMAO
In part 2, Tom is trying vehemently to find new people to crash with, despite having money for his own house. When he finds a place he immediately thinks about how Matt, Edd and a bunch of others (even eduardo and Laurel!) would like it there (Also tord's corpse being there made me laugh. Hey atleast he added him!)
But before this we see that Tord is on a wanted poster, And once again Tom gives him a chance to explain himself. Even pausing to excuse himself before laughing when Tom himself believes he blew everything out of proportion. Only to be proven right again lol.
With the others its kinda got cartoon logic, As Edd kinda puts Tom thru the worst of it LMFAO
The reason i just grabbed these two images was bc there's genuinely so much and I have a limit to how many images I can post so thank you TomEdd community for providing me with this to use for my yap session
Edd and Tom's relationship is actually kinda mirrored in Eduardo and Jon's relationship, with Tom and Edd having a bit more fun moments in between all of that cartoony walloping. It's definitely prevalent in Hammer and Fail lol. Regardless, Tom seems to let Edd have a free pass, never really getting upset with him, more just getting upset at the situation they are in that caused Edd to pick on Tom. Fascinating.
And of course, May i please direct the jury's attention to the entirety of the episode "Ruined"
Who ultimately treats Tom the best out of the crew, and I think Tom should appreciate that more. I'M NOT SAYING THAT MATT IS NICE TO TOM BC That would be me lying to your face. I'm just saying that Matt picks on Tom the least and i have a sneaking suspicion as to why...
Which once again falls into my introspection of how many licks it takes to get to the center of the rage-pop yk? Bc to me it seems like Tom's not one to lash out in anger at the slightest inconvenience. Let alone a tragedy that still has Tom hanging out with Matt even after that day where Matt was (whether Tom knows it or not) indirectly responsible for the death of his Pineapple father. (i must sound insane to literally anyone else reading this)
Tom's not a traditionally patient person, he's rude, blunt, sassy and cartoony, but he apparently has the ever-accursed 2nd-chance-time-loop anomaly. He's not any nicer than the rest of them, but his tolerance for his friends is WAY stronger than his tolerance for alcohol.
Anyways that's my yap i just like talking abt tom heehee ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
