The way Techno handled Dream at the portal was actually brilliant. Techno understands that the issue isn’t where Tommy goes. It’s power. Dream needs to have the power in this situation. He undeniably has power over Tommy: he has the disc, and Tommy just committed a crime he should be executed for.

Dream won’t be satisfied unless he’s the one with the power. So Techno reminds Dream that he also has power over him, that he owes Dream his life and a favor. Releasing Tommy would be a favor, which he’ll gladly pay if Dream asks him to. Tommy is at Dream’s mercy and Techno is in Dream’s debt.

It may seem to Tommy that his safety is far from guaranteed, but Techno won the confrontation the second he acknowledged that Dream has power over him. He forced Dream to choose: release Tommy or release Techno from his debt. He can keep his power over Tommy or keep his power over Techno. He can’t have both. And Techno knows Tommy is safe because relinquishing any power in front of Tommy is not an option for Dream. He won’t call in a favor to get what he wants, his pride won’t let him. They can walk away because Techno put all the power to choose in Dream’s hands.

Techno, who could level the entire SMP with withers, who can win a 4v1 against a netherite clad army, who can cheat death, allows Dream to have complete power over him in order to save Tommy. Now that’s character development.

The best thing about the Theseus comparison is that the characters know about the story, but not who Lycomedes is. Dream implies its Technoblade, and he doesn't dispute it but... There's a bit more to Lycomedes then he was just a friend that killed Theseus.

Lycomedes befriended and housed Theseus for the goal of killing him when his guard was down, either out of a fear of being dethroned from his own kingdom, out of loyalty to the king of Athens, or out of fear of the influence the hero would have on his people.

And you know what Dream did as soon as Tommy was exiled? Housed him in a simple dirt house with a bed and started manipulating him into thinking he was his friend. The whole reason he did that was a bid for control, because of Tommy's influence on people.

Meanwhile Technoblade neither housed nor befriended Tommy willingly. He has no throne to protect and no loyalty to any of the standing governments. He even told Tommy to give up the prospect of being friends.

So, it makes sense Dream would be the one to make that comparison to Technoblade even though the comparison starts to lose its shine if you really dig into the matter, because he's trying to avoid the truth. Lycomedes isnt Technoblade, he is.

you ever look at certain american christmas movies and wonder how, seemingly, not a single person during the whole production bothered to look up what a reindeer is? like is there a single piece of animated rudolph the red-nosed reindeer media where rudolph is depicted as a reindeer and not a white-tailed deer?

[ketunperse]

red nose just because :)

[frustrationinexcelsis]

I was aware that almost every depiction of mistletoe in Christmas movies uses holly instead, but I only just realized that almost every Christmas reindeer is actually a white-tailed deer while reading this post.
