Me in a nutshell
Introducing the Uncle Friend
distinct sense of fashion (not necessarily good, but. distinct.)
has almost died, like, twice, but it’s a really funny story–
absolutely should not be in charge
absolutely does not WANT to be in charge
you’re pretty sure they’re into some weird stuff
wants to help you out when you’re sad???
may not be equipped to help you out and will fret if that is the case
absolutely terrible OR top-notch taste in alcohol, no inbetween
you’ve never seen more impressive shoes
If you know someone who exudes a powerful Danny DeVito energy despite being a lesbian in her twenties, or if you know someone whose wardrobe choices would not look out of place on Jeff Goldblum, well, you got yourself an Uncle Friend, friend
Me, getting sucked into the Dream SMP fanbase:
Help. I've fallen and I can't get up
Just what I needed ❤️

Okay, just about everyone is all like 'Tommy isn't selfish' or 'Ranboo is my KING for sticking up for Tommy', but like... He kinda is??
Before anyone jumps to the hate wagon, I will fully admit that his actions during the Manburg vs Pogtopia war were completely selfless. As such, he has a right to be selfish. But not when it harms, not just himself, but his friends and allies and people he is helping to watch over. Not only that, but he was also incredibly selfish during the L'Manburg vs Dream SMP war (mostly).
For those who missed it or haven't caught up (somehow), Tommy, Tubbo, Fundy, Ranboo and Quackity met up with Dream to create a new treaty, yesterday. And what does Tommy do as soon as it's signed? He breaks it. He tries to use Spirit (Dream's horse's leather) to control Dream and have him tear down the walls of obsidian he built around L'Manburg after Tommy and Ranboo griefed George's house.
Now, I get that Tommy wanted to help, but he should have known better. The last time Spirit was brought up was during the Railway Squirmish wherein Dream /kill'd to troll Tommy and Tubbo but they ended up taking his armour and trying to use it to control Dream. Instead, Dream offered to trade Spirit for his armour, which Tommy, after initial refusal, accepted. Tommy wanted his discs for the loot, but Dream refused, stating that he could always grind to get it all back and that the discs weren't a fair trade, but Spirit was.
Spirit, in Dream's eyes, was only worthy enough to gain back Dream's netherite armour. Not his sword, not the discs, and not L'Manburg's independence.
And Tommy tried using this measly bit of leather, something Dream offered up for armour, to make Dream give them freedom. After the treaty was already signed.
Arguing that Tommy is just a kid, while reasonable, just doesn't work in this case, as awful as it is. He is sixteen and should absolutely know better. And this is Tommy after fighting in two wars and about three mini-wars. Tommy isn't an idiot and he's matured quickly, some and I would say too quickly, for his age. He's tried this manipulation game with Dream a few times already, and they all failed - backfired even. He hasn't won a single war against Dream wherein Dream didn't surrender because Schlatt, the big bad, was dying anyway. He already angered Dream and only made it worse.
Everyone is all 'poor Tommy. Tommy isn't selfish', but he is. The first huge war, the L'Manburgian War of Independence, really only started because he refused to see where he went wrong and because he wanted his discs back. I agree that Dream is definitely a villain and was downright cruel in his treatment towards L'Manburg (like, for God's sake, they only wanted independence) but you are lying if you say that Tommy was innocent. He was a tyrant.
I have no qualms about Tommy's character during Wilbur's corruption arc and the war against Manburg. I do agree with Techno that Tommy was a tyrant, as was Wilbur, but I was never against Tommy's character or his actions. Schlatt was a corrupt dictator and Tommy wanted L'Manburg back.
However, even though he is the vice-president of a country/nation that has just got back on its feet - that is just recovering - Tommy tried to abandon his post to get his discs back.
Yes. He has every right to be selfish after being selfless for God knows how long. But not now. Not to this extent.
Tommy was selfish. No question about it. That doesn't mean I hate him. I love his character, in fact. It's written amazingly with the joint effort of WilburSoot and Dream, currently only Dream. But people need to stop defending a character when their flaws are pointed out.
Tubbo, who Tommy had used the most and who never got a chance to be selfish, is right. Tubbo has every right to call Tommy selfish after everything that has happened. Tubbo has been used over and over again, by Schlatt and by Tommy, even if the latter didn't realise it. Tubbo has every damned right to call Tommy selfish, and I stand by that.
Also, these boys don't talk to each other any more. People are blaming George for sleeping through every fucking event, but if these guys talked to each other, then a lot of the plot would be resolved a lot swifter.
But plot and angst, am I right??
