its kind of crazy to me how in the world of tubeclash, tim does not exist as an independent person
like. think about it. what does he actually do? hes bait for stegi, then turned into a doll to once again serve as a Motive For Stegi To Have, then gets a brief moment of relief at the end of s2 before things go to shit for everyone, then hes there to witness stegis death and be sad about it. even on a watsonian level, I think it can be inferred that manu literally only created him as part of the trap for stegi. hes there to be a best friend character for stegi and has like, literally nothing else going on
and I also think its interesting to explore how his bodily autonomy is violated over and over again throughout the series. hes tied up, mind controlled, and turned into an inanimate object, all back to back. even him being turned into a human isnt something he ever actually asks for, its just tacked on alongside the masterhunters getting their wish fulfilled
I think theres something weirdly compelling about just how much of a lack of a character he is. this dude has not once had control over a thing in his life things just keep happening to him. like goddamn
