i’m sorry but if you’re a grown man and a sixteen year old felt the need to remind himself daily not to piss you off because it’s not worth it than ur a complete freak cause that’s not fucking normal

just an overstatement bc I know you guys know but still. no harm in repeating it.

your fandom experience is safe with me. whether we ship the same or not, whether we like the same characters or not, whether we agree with tropes, arcs, theories or not. i will never recur to homophobia, hate speech or other just bc smth isn’t my thing. if it isn’t my thing I won’t engage. I will always go out of my way to support the creators. I believe in tolerance and I believe in community. even if it’s an online one about a silly show. i respect the people behind the characters, the blogs and the show. i respect the character themselves.

so please, be assured that your fandom experience is safe with me.

The Underdog

They thought he was a himbo. A pretty face on a great body, with decent acting skills. Good enough to be the love interest of the main character for several episodes.

It was a surprise when he rejected a full make out session. He opted for a gentle first kiss instead. It should be their first clue.

He added a thoughtful detail to the scene. People noticed and loved it. The kiss went viral.

At first, it was his good look which caught our eyes...

Soon enough, his nuanced acting and thoughtful subtleties kept our attention.

Within the limited dialogues and screen time he was given, he told the story through his soulful eyes and his micro expressions. We got the messages and we adored him.

But they never wanted him to stay long. His time was measured. He had to say goodbye and walked away. And he took our hearts with him.

So, when he turned his back on the door, we also turned our backs on the show.

one thing i keep thinking about is the difference between Dream & Tommy’s comments….

Tommy’s comments are living for the drama, they’re interested in the hate spread about *other* creators.

Meanwhile Dreams comments are all begging him to stop giving a fuck and just play minecraft or to just upload manhunt again soon.

Dreams comments section want dreams content, tommy’s comments section just wants negativity spread about other creators

to me it’s pretty telling which one of the two will have a more sustainable and lasting career in the long run….

Choose your next words very carefully you moldy wrinkly fucks

Wipe that horrified look off your face Margaret before I punch it off and just smile because your son is happy and cared for by the hottest pilot in the hemisphere

I kinda hate how on YouTube people seems to not give a shit about the truth of what's happening, calling this "drama" a "nothing-burger" or "a stupid/inmature situation", saying ignorant shit like "Tommy should've resolved this privately" "everyone in this drama are doing it for clout" "Tommy is obsessed with Dream" "Tommy is exagerating" like... bruh I can't I swear to god

It feels like no one aside from Tumblr ex DSMP fans actually care about the damage that Dream did not only to his friends but in general too

[god-i-hope-so]

I'll take Tommy voicing his "jealousy"* 100 times and being good at communicating his personal frustrations instead of a guy who'd say nothing.

Tommy is showing a healthy way to communicate how he feels about Buck and what's in his life. So far it's never been in a fight but in a casual conversation, safe and respectful. We know what men not talking about their feelings does. It's catastrophic, for them and for people around them. The violence it creates is insane, and we all know that.

Haters will use that against him, of course they will. But Tommy probably learned the hard way that keeping your feelings unsaid is one of the worst things you can do to yourself and people you love. Showing this on TV in this kind of show is so important.

Once again Tommy's character is used to portray an adult man who wants to do good. He's open but has his own boundaries, he's respectful and follow cues when the other person seems hesitant, and he doesn't hide what he feels because not only he knows it's good to talk about it, but it creates a relatable moment. Now Buck knows he can talk about his family's situation with Tommy, he knows he can safely open up to him. He'll understand and will listen.

A reminder that all it took was just some random annoying British child for c!dream to start crashing and tweaking out like it was the end of the world :3

[mioakem]

yall acting like tommy would be a nobody without the dream smp but in reality the dream smp would be nothing without tommy

[thenaiads]

The most Logical and Neutral answer Someone who is not a Dream fan and still sees Tommy's bullshit and awful behavior.

Go watch this guy 👍👍👍👍

i wasnt gonna say any more about this on tumblr dot com but ive been watching tubbos stream out of curiosity and ruminating on it, because seeing screenshots and transcripts of dreams response video out of context the bullshit is blatantly obvious when you lay it out, but actually watching the video, he's just as persuasive as he was in 2020 when he made that response video about the speedrunning drama. even though the math doesn't check out, he speaks very confidently and presents bullshit things as if theyre obvious and true, it's easy to see why someone might believe him. so of course im sure tommy enjoyers around the world are worried that people will actually genuinely believe him and what that will mean for tommy.

i personally find it humorous how none of that vitriol and frothing at the mouth is present in the video itself, it's all been channeled into the sloppy bullshitting and forgery and baseless accusations. you have to understand, this video's target audience is his casual youtube audience consisting of ipad babies who watch his regurgitated minecraft slop and whoever else is tuning in for dream vs. tommy drama (aka, very few), he's trying VERY HARD to convince casual viewers that he's been VERY NORMAL about all of this and he's just making a little 9 minute video in response being very very nice and all sunshine and rainbows about tommy. yes they might have their disagreements but in the end dream is vewy proud of you tommy PleadingEyes (girl.)

but with this, assuming normal casual person tuning in at worst their conclusion is going to be these people both seem cringe. in terms of what a youtuber can be accused of, none of his accusations of tommy are that egregious even if they're baseless and bullshit because the intent is not to DESTROY TOMMY FOREVER it's to undermine tommy's credibility and get himself off scot free. in terms of the grand scheme, what he's accusing tommy off is just being an unserious clout chaser who's made some questionable business decisions, which is quite nothing. and dream is a loser for caring about something so nothing. when ive been looking around this seems to be the conclusion for people who are not waist deep in dream smp sludge

of course, it's infuriating that he's doing this, this seems to be his go-to when he receives criticism. to just attack other people's credibility to not even Have to address any criticism himself. why does it matter what they said? they clearly can't be trusted. unlike me, dream, a very normal and sane person who definitely didn't froth at the mouth with vitriol on twitter and onstream for 3 hours and make several reddit posts and then a youtube video because god forbid some people think he's an unpleasant person behind the scenes. i wonder why they think that!

"it's common to be uncomfortable with a daddy kink-" you are missing the fucking point, blacklist the tags (even for that specific ship) if you have to, skip that scene if you're streaming it, whatever, but for fucks sake do not imply that a gay man is predatory or perverse for making a fucking joke - with his boyfriend who initiated it - that's the homophobic bit

[cloverstellar]

is this timeline even real
