I Hate Having To Tag That :(( - Tumblr Posts
It’s the narrative dissonance isn’t it. CC!Tommy and CC!Quackity have set up this overarching theme in the story that revenge is bad because it’s a constant cycle of endless battles that chip away at both sides until there’s nothing left. Which is a great moral! Only for the characters they were… revenging against to continue these cycles completely unimpeached? The whole thing doesn’t just fall flat, it becomes unjust to the characters(and maybe even content creators depending on who this had been discussed with) who are actually putting in the effort. And I love c!Tubbo, and I would love to see an arc where he gets put first and gets to experience character growth over his growing grief, because he’s definitely been undermined a lot. But I can’t comfortably see a resolution for the revengers stream and that’s the problem. Especially with c!Eret’s lore being basically over and c!Techno having gotten away with the whole “violence and revenge are my passtime” thing some 20 times now(I have the slightest amount of hope for this character tho, but not a lot) this stream really feels like it’s only purpose was to get c!Sam to the right place at the right time for his lore with c!Dream. I just really really hope that somehow this is all building up to something that will at least contextualize the whole thing? But I don’t think c!Tubbo’s arc from this stream is meant to go anywhere, which is why it leaves a bad taste in the mouth…
still so pissed that c!Tubbo deliberately trying to put someone defenceless through a torturous agonising death was treated as a #girlboss moment by the framing of the story what the fuck was up with that like no that was an undeniably evil act no matter what c!Sam had done in the past. what the fuck was with the revengers stream in general tbh it’s one of the biggest examples of protagonist-centred morality on the server and it’s so fucking frustrating like why is everything the revengers did in that stream framed as good and moral when they caused so much unnecessary harm like yeah saving micheal was an undeniable good but that doesn’t make everything else they did ok!!!
