#timmy trout

[maddogdrawing]

hiiii back on my trudy trout grind 💪💪💪 (trying not to think about other things) sooo spoilers for ep 12 but here's a little comic to the song never love an anchor by the crane wives.

and also a video version with sound

[hippydippydruid]

Imagine being a child, and your whole family dies, and it’s just you and your dad. And he starts locking himself in his office, claiming he has work to do, so you sit and you wait and you grieve. And then one day your mother is there like nothing ever happened, making breakfast and cleaning the house and homeschooling you just like she used to. And your dad is acting like this is completely normal. And this works for a while, but then this twisted version of your mom stops just cooking breakfast and cleaning the house and begins trying to have hobbies. And suddenly your mother is gone again and there is a new mom in the kitchen the next morning. And you realize that you will never get the closure of fully losing your mother, but you will also never get the satisfaction of having her back. And soon your mother, who used to adore you, is pampering these two new children that behave so well and aren’t sad and angry like the poor little .5. And you watch as every new version of your dead mother begins to view you with more and more disdain as you look into the lifeless eyes of a woman who used to sing you songs before bed every night, and you know there is no one who will ever believe you. Imagine being Timmy Trout.

there’s a reason why timmy is a .5

[sickospaghetti-o]

Someone just pointed out that when Timmy was first introduced he was reading “The Stranger” and the book starts with the line “Mother died today or maybe yesterday” AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

What do you mean Trudy made it out? What do you mean she raced cars and had a will-they-won't-they-again lover? What do you mean she managed to leave her son behind despite loving him more than anything? What do you mean Tucker used that love to lure her, to drug her, to trap her, to KILL her???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE MADE IT OUT?

(On a different note, no wonder the robot Trudys have this dislike for Timmy. It wasnt his fault, but he was the bait.)

[my-fishstickers]

You make me do too much labour.

This song is so Trudy it's actually sickening.

[koszmarnybudyn]

Still a wip but i'm nearly done with the lineart yippie!!!

[babacontainsmultitudes]

If I had a nickel for every time Beth played a "replacement" parent tasked with proving themself to a child who wanted absolutely nothing to do with them and was still mourning the loss of the parent they once knew, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but god does it hurt every time.

[soup-child]

I pictured trudys kids as like grade school aged so let me tell you it was jarring this to realize Timmy was not 6 years old

Is anyone here REALLY hoping for a friendship between Timmy and Francis

Like. We have Timmy. Literally lived the Truman show but worse for his entire life where everyone around him wasn’t even real, they were all fucking robots made by his abusive father. The abstractions of his mother were all programmed to hate him despite how much he remembers the real Trudy loving him so much. His dad crashed out at the end and tried to lobotomize him and robotify him like he did to his mother. And now he’s finally free and probably very unsure what to do with himself

And then we have Francis! We know all about Francis. Most bullied boy in school, clearly wasn’t able to connect to any of his peers and developed a very violent personality from that. But also… shot the face off Timmy’s abuser. Gotta count for something

Like guys hear me out, two teenage boys just HAPPEN to present themselves as being majorly fucked up by virtue of their fucked up interpersonal relationships and/or lack of relationships at all. And now both of them are here, and both of them are real, and I think Francis and Timmy should be best friends forever and live together in a bachelor pad until they die from a co-assisted suicide idfk

[nat-without-a-g]

What’s your theory for why Trudy seems to resents Timmy? I’ve got a few:

Tina and Tuck look like their father while Timmy takes after his mother and either Tucker made a stink about that or she has some self-loathing that’s carried over to her son.

Because they’re trying to hard to emulate the American suburban dream, they only wanted two children (a boy and a girl) and Timmy threw that count off. Either he’s a twin with one of the other kids or was born after Tuck and before Tina or he was a “surprise”— either way he throws off the count.

SOME people think they’re soooo special because they know how to read

Me listening to the guys making jokes that Timmy trout is too tall:

Close enough, lincoln li wilson welcome back to the pod

[hippydippydruid]

Actually I’m not ok with the fact that Timmy has seen his mother be replaced over and over again, and Everytime he saw the disdain she had for him grow because she kept becoming more like the ideal while he became less and less perfect because he’s human. And for the longest time he’s been the only person behaving like a human in his family because everyone else he loved has been replaced.

[lo-jo-s-blog]

The fact that Tucker Trout (🐟) programs his robot slave wife to have an instinctual hatred of her son to a point where abuse like washing out his mouth with soap is not only expected by him but also doesn’t affect him anymore, and a figure resembling his mother showing him any actual affection is the only thing that upsets him, is actually insane.

DNDADS S3 E11 SPOILERS

it’s so funny realising that, while Trudy is having that conversation with Timmy outside, she’s still got the gun on her back. Imagine being yelled at by a twelve year old with a fucking rifle in your hands

also yes, that scene Did make me tear up at work and i had to go take a breather, what of it?

(y’all should check out “the i love you song” from 25th annual putnam county spelling bee, Very similar vibes)

Noticing a lot of posts about Timmy Trout and how it appears he and his dad are the only fully human members of their family. Trudy was real once, then replaced, but we don't know about his siblings. But what makes this truly tragic for me is that they're homeschooled.

For a moment forget that that's often done with good intentions and think about the actual effect on kids. We saw with Link how two living parents could cause a lot of problems because they made him scared to socialize, limited his knowledge because they were his only teachers, and kept him confined to the house (vacations were in the backyard). He rightfully described it as prison because he had to go on a hunger strike just to be allowed to go to regular school!

Now with Timmy, he got cigarettes but those are easy to get in their town apparently. (Fucking Kelsey Grammer is the Johnny Appleseed of nicotine, lol!) His books may be from his dad, or maybe the library. Without much more information it's possible that with the exception of a couple of very minor outlets his only relationships are with robots! Robots who replaced his mom and possibly his siblings. Robots who despise him but are shown to be easily disposable. Unless this kid develops some healthy relationships with women he'll probably also assume women are entirely disposable, as demonstrated by his dad.
