I said it in a reblog of another post and I'll say it here now, "you're too fun" is the slimiest most skin crawling sentence ever uttered on this godforsaken smp. Because it not only implies that not only was all of the betrayal, violence, and mistrust all a fun little game for dream, but also puts his treatment of tommy in Logstedshire in an entirely different light. Abuse is awful no matter what reason, and what dream did was inexcusable, but it was almost easier to analyze and break down, because, in the end, it was supposed to teach tommy a lesson about questioning his authority. You gotta crack a few defiant eggs to make an obedient and traumatized little omelette, right? "You're too fun" throws that all out the fucking window. Because now, instead of tommy's abuse being dream thinking of it as a "necessary evil" in order to keep the smp under his control, it's literally just dream dumping the carton of eggs on the ground and mashing the ruined yolks with his heel. He blew up tommy's items for fun. He broke tommy's spirit for fun. He drove him to the end of every ledge imaginable and still didn't let him jump, for fun. Tommy's mind twisting it so that dream was his friend was probably just an extra, fun little game mechanic that he could mess with. Tommy's suffering was worth absolutely nothing, in the end, because it never meant anything to dream beyond playing a game. Tommy's triumphant speech about dream being scared of him feels less like a realization of his power now and more like a desperate attempt to make their game mean something, anything, to dream. Now, it's clear that manipulating tubbo into exiling tommy was only an excuse to make his game more interestjng. If there was ever any doubts about dream being the most evil person on the server, "you're too fun" squashes them. Because what's more villainous than making people suffer, and then telling them on no uncertain terms that their suffering was for nothing?

I think c!philza’s conversations with ghostbur today destroyed all of us, so I’m going to talk about c!philza for a bit — his ride-or-die bias towards techno, how that influences his beliefs, and his relationships with others.
phil favors techno. that is damn obvious. they’re old friends who go way back. phil also feels somewhat protective over techno — I’m a huge sucker for the headcanon that phil discovered that techno was basically a teenager during the antarctic empire days and subtly began feeling a bit parental to him after that.
the reason why phil became an anarchist ultimately ties back to techno. although phil was living in l’manberg back then, he was secretly helping techno; and his allegiance to techno ultimately resulted in his (definitely unjustified, but incomparable to what most people in l’manberg went through) house arrest. this house arrest, and watching techno’s execution, were what finally pushed him into full anarchy.
the thing is, I think this loyalty to techno is also what completely blinds him to the suffering of pretty much everyone else in l’manberg, and what him allows to be a-okay with dream’s actions as a tyrant.
phil is adamant that government was ultimately what ruined the people of l’manberg. but he somehow completely misses the trauma of the characters. he comes pretty dangerously close to what amounts as victim-blaming the citizens of l’manberg, especially tubbo, taking the position that they got what was coming to them. he says sorry to ghostbur for assisting in killing friend and destroying ghostbur’s library, but it’s clear that he doesn’t regret it.
when push comes to shove, phil always chooses techno. always. and he does not care if that ends up hurting other people who are or were close to him.
even though tommy, tubbo, and fundy aren’t directly phil’s sons, they are still connected to him and see him as somewhat of a father (or grandfather) figure. tommy accidentally calls him ‘dadza’. tubbo was found on the side of the road, and back when phil was in l’manberg they often worked together to build l’manberg. fundy is phil’s grandchild, who’s looking for any family he can get.
and phil sees them as corrupt, for reasons all adjacent to techno. although he was kind to them, he never truly paid attention to their trauma; and once they started directly opposing techno, well. they were dead to him, pretty much. this is neglect and abuse, everyone.
his conversation with ghostbur has only been the most overt example of this. and if ranboo ever decides to leave technoblade, well. I think we know where that is going.
