hih. i watched wall-e again <3

c!Tommy was never a vengeful character. He didn’t try to kill c!Dream to punish him for the pain he went through. Tommy wanted catharsis for his trauma and then a peaceful life afterwards. Even though he didn’t want to kill anyone (he says so to Tubbo in the finale, while theyre planning to attack Dream,) he thought it was the only choice he had.

Tommy didn’t want to kill. He didn’t want revenge. He only committed to it because he was convinced it was the only solution, the only way to find that catharsis and peace. Tommy’s happy ending was never about murder or revenge, but about healing from his trauma. Understanding Dream gave Tommy the catharsis he wanted. For him, it made it make sense. Does that mean he forgave Dream? Probably not, though it’s hard to know since the nuke came so soon after. But when Dream asked if it was too late, when he expressed for the first time a willingness to change, Tommy realized he didn’t have to kill for the catharsis & peace he wanted.

It’s not an ending that’s for everybody, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like the finale, there’s a million other shows and books you will like. But I loved it. To me, there’s no happy ending more powerful than kindness, empathy, and understanding being more powerful than anything else. Even if the loss of the old server & memories after the nukes and the Incident is tragic, to me that only makes the finale bittersweet. I’ll always enjoy a story about compassion over a story about just revenge, especially when it’s so much more fitting to who Tommy is as a character.

i’m tired of the “mike wheeler doesn’t deserve will byers” posts because im sorry, are we talking about the same mike wheeler?

the mike wheeler that went out looking for will, not once, but twice, even after being specifically told not to, and even after everyone believed he was dead

the mike wheeler that keeps a binder full of will’s drawings and has them plastered all over his bedroom and basement walls, the mike wheeler who had the biggest smile once he got his hands on will’s art once again

the mike wheeler that defended will and stood up to his bully in front of the entire school

the mike wheeler that would always notice when there was something wrong with will

the mike wheeler that reassured will

the mike wheeler who slept in a hospital chair to not leave will’s side

the mike wheeler that biked all the way across town in the pouring rain to apologize to will after their fight, and when he couldn’t find him ran to the woods because he knew he’d be there

the mike wheeler who said this

and this

you really think this mike wheeler

doesn’t deserve will byers?

el and max have more chemistry than el and mike send tweet

I’m still just like

there are literal castles on the dream smp, there are extravagant cities all over the server (made of gold and glamour and overlooked by a god in more ways than one, a city of lights meant to dazzle and charm until those found in it have been bled dry, a beautiful city that sits hollow on the inside), there’s a Mansion bought by the richest person on the server that sits empty.

and the person that phil thinks needs to learn a lesson about not being materialistic is the boy whose lived in a literal dirt hut for well over a year (except for when he was living in a tent on a beach alone for months, of course) who watched his home get destroyed three times, gave up the things that phil thinks he’s too attached to for other people three times, and Got Shot And Died for the sake of his friends.

Okay Peepaw, Okay.

I'm feeling 2022!

Happy (Early) New Year Guys!

Thinking about starting a bitter feud with @omeletteyyy
