Fitz being a bad friend:
- “Like you could tell with your mom?”
- eavesdropping in Keefe’s mind after he explicitly said only sophie was allowed to look
- assuming that Keefe would have been with the people who kidnapped and tortured Wylie after he joined the neverseen
Keefe being a bad friend:
- “I can’t imagine any of the perfect Vackers being traitors”
- healing center scene in unlocked where fitz is attempting to be a good friend and Keefe’s narration is villainizing him for it
- “wouldn’t happen to have any unresolved feelings for anyone in this room, would you?”
But yeah their friendship definitely fell apart because of the love triangle, shipping was absolutely what came between them—

i have been reminded of how i love and loathe c!bedrock bros.
i will now talk about it for a while
I think especially when rewatching their argument during doomsday you really hear both of their sides and realize: “oh, oh if only” tommy is just kinda bad at articulating his point while techno literally refuses to even try and listen to it because as far as he sees it, it doesn’t matter.
in c!techno’s mind, c!tommy’s point doesn’t matter because it sympathizes with the people who have hurt him and gone against him multiple times. which is a valid stance. it just sucks that he refuses to really think about why tommy would want to be with L’manburg.
now, i shall now comment on c!tommy. he was in a position where really his only option had been to work with c!techno. but as soon as he was presented with another option he took it, why? because he realized he isn’t happy. do i think that he made a good decision? no, but i understand it. he didn’t want to betray techno, he just wasn’t happy. now, granted, we know as an audience that this decision won’t make him happy either, but he doesn’t. and as such he picks what is familiar and what has only failed to make him feel worthy once.
i also really love that there is this moment between them where tommy is unsure about destroying l’manburg and so techno says “you don’t have to help me” (not a direct quote but basically he says that). and when the betrayal happens in the community house he brings it up saying that perhaps he didn’t make himself clear, “when i said you don’t have to help me, i meant you could sit it out! not switch sides!” but here’s the thing. hadn’t, by that point, tommy already helped? like short of spawning the withers and attacking his former countrymen, he basically helped techno prepare for this attack. (of course help is a strong word but they did do most of it together) they got techno’s weapons and armor terrorizing the country along the way, they found and bred the dogs that would later make up the hound army, they did all sorts of things to prepare to attack l’manburg. tommy had already helped! so really what good does it mean if he were to “sit it out” he already helped you do most of the damage!
“i’m worst than everyone i didn’t want to be.” now THAT is a statement. a statement no one really talks about. when he was exiled he was compared to the country’s og founder turned terrorist and was upset by this, we can assume he definitely doesn’t want to be dream after everything and yet he says he’s worst than at least both of those people. you know i would love to ask him “how?” because how does he see himself as worst than an actual traitor terrorist that blew up the entire country and his own fucking abuser. makes you think
he even apologizes for betraying techno after admitting that he knows what he’s done and he hates himself for all that he’s done.
now, back to c!techno, before tumblr silences me, immediately following tommy’s betrayal c!dream (who we know had orchestrated this entire thing by blowing up the ch then blaming it on c!tommy) starts berating c!tubbo. and c!techno? who could use this distraction to escape? stays and even joins in. as much as i love c!bedrock bros, this why i loathe the c! part of it. because c!techno’s biggest flaw in this relationship is that he doesn’t see c!tommy or c!tubbo as kids. he sees them as adults or at least the equivalent of adults, which means he treats them the same way and he holds them to the same standards. he in a different stream comments that tommy had to have deserved exile because that is the consequences of his actions. that of course he deserves it after all the problems he’s caused. (unfortunately with the way this conversation is worded it’s hard to tell if the in character or ooc but still) which admittedly is both deserved also a flaw of every adult character on this server.
you know, actually, the more i watch the beginning of the bedrock bros arc- techno really lays it on heavy on them teaming up. like tommy is straight up walking away saying “no i’ll get my discs back myself” and techno keeps convincing him until it works. even saying they don’t need to be friends that it isn’t an option. “you’ll help me destroy the government” “i won’t help you destroy the government but you’ll- you’ll let me-“ “tell you what we’ll do some terrorism from where the government- you know what tommy we’ll work out the details on the way.” this was never going to work. tommy definitely didn’t want to go as far as techno wanted to go and that alone destined this friendship for failure.
to conclude, c!tommy is a traumatized character who absolutely refuses to deal with his issues until the worst possible time and then makes it everyone else’s problem. while c!techno struggles to see any pov outside of his own and presents their alliance under false pretenses and with soured feelings towards tommy. their friendship is one of tragedy as it was never going to work, but they do care about each other. and they will continue to until the server’s end.

I … I just love the part in Frankenstein how, when Victor tore up the second creation, the Creature didn’t confront him right away despite how pissed he was. You’d expect him to come bursting in there and a heated, violent argument to break out, but no. He disappeared for a while to cool off. If he was going to get anything meaningful out of Victor and maybe even convince him to try again, he’d need a clear head and all his wits. So he waited. Counted to ten as many times as it took. Then shows up later saying, “Explain.” Unfortunately, Victor’s response was, “I’m not telling you shit; get out.” And didn’t budge from there. So … frustrating dead end after all.
I truly admire the Creature’s patience. He is SO. PATIENT. Well, patient in actions. He makes himself wait and hold back. But when the payoff doesn’t come, it finally snaps and snaps hard. It happened all through his acts of goodwill towards the DeLacey family and the kid he saved, until he had none by the time he met William and Justine. Then kept at it again when talking to Victor and waiting and waiting and still waiting for Victor to get started on the second creation; then the ever-so-slow process of actually doing it, slowed down yet more by travel.
And then … after all that … before it’s finished … Victor deliberately wrecks it.
Can you imagine how much willpower it took to not lose it right then? To delay yet a little bit longer so he can at least get an answer and maybe work towards trying again?
And then to get a refusal of an explanation.
No wonder he hated Victor so much.
Of course, it doesn’t excuse what he did with all that hatred; hurting other people as vengeance against a target is never a good thing.

“don’t cry, my child”
i was thinking about how venti canonically refers to the people of mondstadt as his “children” and how kaeya is included in that… then the brainrot took over and then i thought, what if when kaeya was a little kid and he felt lonely sometimes, venti would decide to shapeshift back into his little wind sprite form to comfort him…
