c!tommy have faint burn scars on his forearms after exile, from covering up his face when c!drm would blow up his stuff.

after experiencing what it’s like to get burnt he only feels more guilty about the festival.

I need to talk about Exile Arc again because hindsight is 20 fucking 20 with that Arc man.

Sooooooo many fans never understood that c!Tubbo had no possible way of knowing what would happen to c!Tommy when he was exiled. As far as he knew, "exile" literally just meant that Tommy was allowed to do whatever he wanted, he just couldn't come back into New L'Manberg.

And let's not forget he was being told every single day by c!Dream that Tommy was still angry at him and didn't want to see him and that by visiting Tommy in his New Fun Beach House he'd just be ruining Tommy's day and pissing him off.

This PLUSSSS Tubbo tried so hard to save him. He said Tommy please let me do the talking, he tried compromise, he tried making Tommy sit in time out and write a journal and be babysat. And at this point NONE of us knew the full extent of c!Dreams obsession with Tommy, not even the audience, and c!Dream's demands really did seem reasonable at the time.

To top it all off, Tommy's proposed alternative to his Exile was taking the cabinet to ask Technoblade if he would help them fight c!Dream. You know, so that c!Dream would leave their government to govern in peace. Tommy wanted Technoblade. To help with that.

Like. Tubbo did not have a choice. c!Dream threatened to build obsidian walls around NLM. Killing anyone who entered or exited. To Tubbo, exiling Tommy was mostly just a method to buy time. He was never intending to abandon Tommy, he was trying to save L'Manberg, because he knew that's really what Tommy wanted most.

Remember back in the old days when we used to think the fandom over exaggerated the exile arc, and then you dig up clips likes this

I believe that c!Tommy’s kleptomania is one of the most fascinating and heartbreaking parts of his personality, as it adds layers to his character, and explains certain parts of the lore that some people seem to consider a simple bad habit and display of his childishness. I would like to elaborate on that further and explore the way it changed in the exile arc.

To begin with, c!Tommy has been suffering from kleptomania ever since s1, but contrary to popular belief, he had no malicious intentions. From the very beginning of the server, he was already severely traumatised to the point of having PTSD and lacked self-worth. So, understandably enough, he was craving something to make up for his self-hatred, and robbery became that thing. c!Tommy would mostly steal insignificant things because what truly mattered was the amount of things he possessed, not their value or rarity. After all, if he had a large number of objects in his possession, it meant that he was worthy, and nothing else truly mattered.

Since the very beginning of exile, despite his need to acquire items to stabilise his extreme self-hatred, c!Tommy adamantly refused to accept anything from his visitors because he couldn’t help but assume that the gifts in question were “pity items”, and being pitied was one of the things he hated the most. As his exile went on, the belief that no one cared enough to offer him a gift out of genuine care, only grew stronger due to c!Dream’s manipulation, c!Tommy’s severe loneliness, and the heartbreak of the Beach Party. However, with time, the blond has grown to trust someone other than c!Dream — c!Ranboo. Eventually, he allowed the enderman hybrid to offer him things, as long as he promised that his gifts came from the heart. As much as c!Tommy attempted to hide his true feelings, he cherished every single object received from c!Ranboo. These weren’t just objects, like the ones he’d often steal from people to feel worthy — these served as a reminder that there was something to live for, and at least, someone other than c!Dream genuinely cared about him.

Considering that c!Dream has been obsessed with c!Tommy ever since s1 (which included living in his walls and stalking him) and used his kleptomania and “destructive nature” as an argument to get him exiled from L’Manberg, he certainly was aware of the boy’s insecurity, and was looking forward to exploiting it to the fullest to break- no, shatter him :)

The daily routine of discarding his objects hurt c!Tommy far more than we could’ve imagined, because if we keep his deep self-hatred in mind, he didn’t simply find it upsetting due to being stuck in the cycle of obtaining and destroying his items — it was something more than that. Every lost item equaled a tiny shard of c!Tommy’s self-worth, and soon enough, there was almost Nothing left; he was nothing but an empty shell.

Understandably enough, with time, the teenager has grown to believe that he wasn’t worthy to possess anything valuable of his own — he was meant to earn every little thing, and his best friend tormentor couldn’t be more pleased :) :) :)
