We will always be here and it has hurt us at the same time it kept so many of us alive. A quiet goodbye was all it deserved in the end

something that i don't feel like i've seen enough posts about is the fact that. it was a joke. jack logged on as a joke because he lost a bet, intending to "take the piss". it takes maybe a few minutes for him to see the manishroom in his inventory and get genuinely emotional about it, as something he's had since the beginning of the server, as something that represents a hugely important time and series of events in his life. it's--it wasn't planned. it was just... a joke. until, suddenly, it wasn't.

and if that's not the best, most fitting end to the dream smp, i don't know what would be. o7

c!Tommy phrasing the end of the dream smp as "when everyone went away" and clarifying that the nukes weren't canon is so interesting to me. Everyone, minus perhaps c!Jack and c!Tubbo just.. Went away. They moved on. The Syndicate made their way to the end with c!Kristin, c!Ranboo left with Michael to the nether, Jack.... Got into gambling, I guess. Everyone, for some reason or another, left the place behind.

And they left Tommy with it.

Of course, Tommy left too, but he's the only one who comes back to l'manberg. Comes back to the greater dsmp in general. It's as though he could never truly sever his ties with it. He says he's almost happy. And I think that's because he can never truly move on from it all. And I don't think its a coincidence that Tubbo is the only other one who's mentioned to still be kicking around the place. Tubbo and Tommy are inexorably tied to L'manberg. They're the only ones alive that have that connection to it.

Tubbo was around for the longest in L'manberg. Longer than its creator. He was there for the war, for the schlatt administration, for new l'manberg, and for its final demise. He couldn't leave it behind once and for all because so much of his life was spent there.

Tommy is part of L'manberg. L'manberg was created in his visage, it was an extension of him. He couldn't leave it behind once and for all because it was so much of his life. The idea of L'manberg persisted throughout all of his life. Even in exile, it was the only thing keeping him going.

They're the only ones who can't move on. Not fully. They're trying. They're almost happy. But they can't leave it all behind. I've seen a lot of people calling this a c!Tommy happy ending, but really, it was Almost Happy.

And I think one day he can be Happy. But we won't see it. We got our closure, but he hasn't. Not yet.

tubbo selling his honey.... he has a beekeeping business.... he still sees tommy from time to time... moved out far away after everything... they have quiet lives now....

tommy has a cottage. he has a cottage. theyre not happy but getting there. and their friendship survived war, it survive dbetrayal, it survived exile, it survived isolation in snowchester and the prison. it survived. They survived. I cant stress this enough

slightly older ctommy standing in the snow… technos house in the distance…sun just went down…..probably a little chilly….. hands in pocket….. snow seeping into his boots…. having a bittersweet convo with one of his old friends………..looking forward…… at a place where he once belonged…far from home but at the same time right where he always belonged ……not knowing what the future holds………. but knowing he still has a place to go at the end of the day……. guys..GUYSSSS…….

and in the end cclingy make it out. and theyre okay. theyre going to be okay. and in the end cjack overcomes his bitterness. in the end theyre veterans. theyre tired. theyre alive. theyre safe. they may not know what home is besides the people left in their hearts really lets explde
