I Think What I Enjoy Most About Tommy And Techno's Dynamic Now Is Just How Much Tommy Is Leaning On Him

I think what I enjoy most about tommy and techno's dynamic now is just how much tommy is leaning on him for support and just how unconditionally willing techno is to give him that. Though he shows plenty of exasperation and frustration at times with tommy, protecting him is never not an option. It's also not even a question for him to hide him from dream. Tommy is so clearly terrified and he needs reassurance that he'll be safe. And when that fear arrives, he gives tommy a choice. He can go see dream or he can hide. He can go to Logstedshire or run back home. He can stay behind in L'manburg or go back with techno. He can run from the Final Control Room or face his past. He obviously still doesn't like where tommy is at the moment- expressing annoyance and confusion at tommy's feelings towards dream- but he doesn't force a conclusion on him. Just quietly reminds tommy of what dream has done and lets him work it out for himself. And when tommy gets upset, like with the Final Control Room and Logstedshire, he doesn't push him to confront it, though it's clear he'd be supportive of any decision he makes about confronting his trauma. What techno understands right now is that tommy hasn't been treated as equal for a long time. Tommy isn't allowed choice. And now that tommy is finally free from all the people pushing him around, the best way to support him is to let him know that he can choose. Techno is right: tommy does have no free will. But it doesn't need to be like that forever, and as long as techno had a say in it, it won't.

Thats... that's not how this works? That's not how any of this works? And Yet

all classification systems are ultimately arbitrary because no matter how objective we try to be, our attempts at categorizing the world are fundamentally rooted in the values we hold.

which brings me to my next point about horses being reptiles due to Vibes

Look I can't make edits but the idea won't leave me alone so tumblr or tiktok do something about it

The "Feels like we had matching wounds" audio but before that is Gwen saying "Lets do this one more time" and it cuts between her peter dying and her dad pulling a gun, meanwhile Miles gives Ganke a fistbump and hugs his family

Followed by Miles saying "Lets do this one last time" and the audio repeats, but this time it's all of Miles' drawings and his graffiti wall cut with Gwen bragging about spider society and interacting with hobie and pavitr

Idk if I'm explaining it well visually but god it won't leave me alonee

Are we not gonna talk about this though?

WTF WAS THAT??
