thoughts on c!tommy having a loom bands phase.

YES!

I've had this headcanon for a while but just on the corner of my mind. I was thinking about it since people headcanon him with devoloping sewing or knitting as a habit because of the motion and stuff.

I imagine this could've been something c!tommy had taken a liking to before the smp.

At first he thinks it's one of those bands used for hair or braids until one kid was bragging about the loom band kit they aquired and teaches the others how to use it and gives it away too. It's not something he could afford much mainly because he doesn't really know where to get them so I guess he somehow acquired some bands from other people who was showing off their sets- so basically he'd just have bands and a hook and he'd have to taken turns with the others in using the kit which results in him only knowing how to do the bracelets AND having no pattern in colors while making it cuz he wants to have every color.

He puts little trinkets he finds on the streets along with his loom bands for design and even pick up some stray loom bands he finds and try to make a makeshift hook or kit. Sometimes he tries replicating it with rubber bands because those are easier to find but it doesn't have the same effect. He still wears them though! He does. Proudly. In every wear he goes, his arms are filled with chaos of colors and patterns.

In the period where loom bands loose popularity- he finds an abandoned set for loom bands. Complete with a kit and two bags of the bands, in a box, feels like a gold mine. (There's even an instruction too for different types of things you can do! He was very proud with making the ring ones but he makes the bracelets more because they're easier to wear.)

By the time he got to the smp, there are only few people whom he had given loom bands and even seen him wear it. One of them was c!Wilbur, but he hadn't thought much about it since he didn't know the kid that much when he received it.

The first revolution happens and he never touched it again.

During pogtopia, c!Wilbur sometimes thinks about what happened to the loombands, even the one he had. (It's tucked away in his orange jacket, the one he wore when he first got in the smp) c!Tubbo wore his before the 16th happened. (He figured he better hide it after the incident he had in the podium.) c!Fundy vaguely remembers being given one, he doesn't know whom it's from but it was a ring. He's pretty sure he's hidden it with his old stuff. (Similarly with cNikki, cEret, cJack)

In exile, cTommy picks up knitting and even puts little trinkets he found on the beach with it. (It's familiar, he doesn't know why.)

His arms covered with once bright, but dulled overtime, blue wool of the cardigan. (It feels familiar, he doesn't know why.)

The kit picks up dust deep down the enderchest, just below the bedrock he matches with Techno.

In Utah, cWilbur in his orange jacket, while trying to pick up his lighter in his pockets, instead pulled a loom band. His mind goes back to the boy who's arms were covered in blue wool when he got revived. (It's familiar, he now knows why.)
