#the only things he's built to further his anarchist ideals have been facilities to help him destroy shit

constructive vs. destructive actions

I’ve just realized something - all else being equal, the more a character builds on the server, the more likely I am to sympathize with them. (give them the benefit of the doubt - assume good faith.) and I don’t mean metaphorical building, like they built a community or something, though that does count in their favor - I mean literally placing blocks to build a structure.

it doesn’t even have to be a good structure! Tommy’s stupid cobble towers and his reverse coaster and his obscure transportation infrastructure and his abomination of a hole in the ground that he’s spent so much time keeping just the way he wants it make me instinctively more inclined to trust him. Quackity’s wacky dirt platform in the sky, and now his shining city but even more than that the businesslike and functional storage room underneath it, make me believe in his belief in his own goals. new buildings spring up around Tubbo wherever he goes and I so know that he’s going there for a reason that matters to him.

Dream on the other hand, you’re going to have a hell of a time convincing me to give the benefit of the doubt - because what mark has he made on the landscape of the server? a fucking hole in the ground. a hole that used to be a place other people built from the ground up because they loved it. that’s it. he’s left nothing else behind him. there used to be the community house, but he destroyed that himself. the only thing he’s ever cared about enough to put the time and effort into was a shrine to his objective of holding what everybody else cares about hostage.
