WHY DO ALL THE MINORS GET MANIPULATED

WHY DO ALL THE MINORS GET MANIPULATED

Tommy is either going to be a point of competition for Q and Wilbur or a point of unification. Both seem to in their own way healthy or not care for him. But I don’t know which way it’s gonna go yet but either way Tommy’s gonna get hurt /dsmp /rp

/rp im still never gonna be over the fact that, after tommy’s prison break-in stream, the general fandom response was “how could sam stop caring about tommy like that!?” when, if you’ve been keeping up with sam’s arc over the past few months, that stream did nothing but show how much he adores tommy

when ponk stole sam’s old keycards and even entertained the idea of breaking into prison, sam took his life, and his arm. sam gave him warnings, yes, but when ponk went through with it anyways sam showed him no mercy

compare this to tommy, who actually broke in. who got all the way to the main cell before being caught. who sam thinks is actively trying to break dream out. what does sam do to him in response? absolutely nothing. you can’t even say tommy got off with a slap on the wrist, because sam didn’t even do that much! he didn’t hit tommy a single time

and that, my friends, is one of the reasons why sam was so excruciatingly angry during this scene. he was angry at himself for not living up to his own expectations as The Warden. for not being strong enough. he was angry at tommy for even putting him in that position in the first place, and revealing his weaknesses. he repeats it over and over: “you should be dead right now. i should have killed you.” but he loves tommy too much to let him off with anything but a warning

when sam says “you should be dead” he means “the protocol states i should have killed you, but i can’t (i don’t want to) and that infuriates me”. when sam says “this is why i let you die- what am i supposed to do now?” he means “this is why i didn’t let you out of the cell. i was afraid dream would take advantage of the situation and something worse would happen”

sam says “go away. i don’t ever want to see you again”. he means “i don’t want you to die” 

I’m so hyped for the Passerine animatic. AHHHH

Ah the sever’s true enemy ✨miscommunication✨

Tommy didn’t understand why Jack yelled that he supposedly killed him when the claim was lumped in with Jack’s trauma dumping. cc!Jack confirmed c!Tommy still doesn’t know he killed c!Jack so Jack leading with ‘’This is why you deserved to die’’ triggers and confuses Tommy so he zoned out as Jack continues to claim that he was only friends with Tommy because he wanted to kill Tommy, that Tommy killed him and a bunch of other trauma dumping. No wonder Tommy described Jack as ‘’having a screw loose’’ from Tommy’s pov he’s excusing him of murder. Since everyone was freshly traumatized and no calm discussion was had at the hotel no one understood each other. 

Imagine you’ve just been traumatized and you hear one of your good friends stole your hotel, you go to confront them and they trigger your trauma, excuse you of murder and then say they are trying to kill you…your going to be confused & a little bitter. So Tommy is ignoring and being rude to Jack because in his eyes Jack hurt him for no reason. Of course, we know that Jack was actually hurt by Tommy but Tommy doesn’t know. 

Jack thinks Tommy abandoned him in Pogtopiea and thinks Tommy killed him on purpose, contrary to what some think Jack & Tommy had a great relationship before Pogtopiea. Jack is trying to kill Tommy because he’s unaware that Tommy doesn’t know he killed him so reasonably assumes Tommy’s cold-blooded murder. Deep down Jack Manifold is lonely & is lashing out with aggression which is fair considering what he’s been through.

Neither Jack nor Tommy are malicious. You can’t fault Tommy for being rude when Jack’s been rude to him for no reason (from his pov) & you can’t fault Jack for feeling the way he does when Tommy killed him for no reason (from his pov).

Tommy doesn’t know he hurt Jack, Jack thinks Tommy knows, stop pitting them against each other.

/dsmp /rp All the people Quackity has chosen to join Las Nevadas are vulnerable individuals. Purpled is a mercenary that gets walked all over and forgotten. Foolish is a builder who gets underpaid for his work and recently got killed. Fundy was the laughing stock of L’manburg and has been cast aside by his family and peers. They’re easy to manipulate, easy to take advantage of.
