Okay, okay, it took me a good two hours to figure out what the hell Tubbo was up to with his Arc, but I guess I finally got it.

First, he is still angry with Tommy for putting everyone in L'manburg at danger and avoiding any responsibility. Tommy lied, denied everything, twisted the facts, and finally made a terrible non-apology. He was one hundred percent himself when everyone asked him to be literally anything else.

Second: "The only thing I care about" hit way too hard. Let's add "I never wanted you for president" and we will get a recipe for model communication problems.

Third and most importantly: Tommy's exile was a show of power. Not for Dream - for L'manburg. Primarily for Fundy and Quackity.

Tubbo is well-liked, kind, helpful and always there when he is needed, but not respected as president. People ask him for his opinion, then ignore it completely, shout him over and take advantage of every moment of his hesitation.

Tommy, by contrast, despite being labeled "loud stupid child", has a lot of charisma and people want to follow him, even if his plan is stupid (Third and a half: his plan was stupid.). Quackity and Fundy may have been furious with him, but they joined him almost immediately after he started blackmailing Dream, leaving Tubbo alone.

Tommy's a good VP. But only if he has someone who can control him and keep him in check.

I think Tubbo finally realized he didn't have that power. They balance perfectly as friends but not as leaders, and as long as Tommy is around, Tubbo will always be in his shadow, even with a higher rank.

Tubbo isn't next Schlatt. He's trying his best and he actually care about L'manburg. To the point, that he chooses it over his friend. And we may consider it morally wrong from the perspective of ordinary people, but that's exactly what leaders should do.

Tl; dr: Tommy's exile was the only way L'manburg would finally have a good leader.

Can I understand Tubbo? Yes.

Do I agree with him? Fuck no, I'm Tommy's apologist and I feel VERY betrayed right now!
