With that trailer out, it is officially time for Percy Jackson to dethrone the other guy to become the iconic personality building children's media. Hogwarts houses and patronuses are out, godly parents and fatal flaws are in
sometimes i forget that not everyone has been around for the dsmp as long as i have.
like i Vividly remember watching the stream of wilbur gathering tommy and tubbo to start a drug empire. i will never forget wilbur letting fundy join the crew on the condition that he yells “Fuck 12” in sapnap’s face (as sapnap had taken it upon himself to be the server police).
people talk about how niki or jack were at the revolution and i’m like *lights cigarette* “nah, those wippersnappers didn’t show up ‘til after our independence. niki’s citizenship was discussed as the walls were being constructed but she didn’t actually join until after the dust had settled and the war was done. they were fine citizens,” *chokes on smoke* “but they weren’t there for the fightin’,”
or someone will say that c!wilbur was a terrible president and i’m like
*slams caprisun* “aye, soot was a right bastard sometimes but he was our bastard. cowardly and brave that one, tongue like a silver viper. he wasn’t perfect but he got us our camarvan, our freedom, our walls. sapnap used to bust down the camarvan doors before we built up ‘em black and yellow beauties.” *obnoxious straw sipping noise as the caprisun is clearly empty but i’m stubborn* “the smp was a blazing furnace, but president soot made somewhere we could rest in the walls’ shade,”

OKAY SO I SAW THIS ONE ART PIECE OF MICHAEL STICKING HIS TOUNGE OUT AT TECHNO AN TECHNO STICKING IT RIGHT BACK AND I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND I CAN'T FIND IT HELP
something about phil’s tribute to techno being a silent minecraft build on his hardcore world. something about tommy’s tribute to techno being making people laugh. something about wilbur’s tribute to techno being storytelling. ya know
c!Tommy was never a vengeful character. He didn’t try to kill c!Dream to punish him for the pain he went through. Tommy wanted catharsis for his trauma and then a peaceful life afterwards. Even though he didn’t want to kill anyone (he says so to Tubbo in the finale, while theyre planning to attack Dream,) he thought it was the only choice he had.
Tommy didn’t want to kill. He didn’t want revenge. He only committed to it because he was convinced it was the only solution, the only way to find that catharsis and peace. Tommy’s happy ending was never about murder or revenge, but about healing from his trauma. Understanding Dream gave Tommy the catharsis he wanted. For him, it made it make sense. Does that mean he forgave Dream? Probably not, though it’s hard to know since the nuke came so soon after. But when Dream asked if it was too late, when he expressed for the first time a willingness to change, Tommy realized he didn’t have to kill for the catharsis & peace he wanted.
It’s not an ending that’s for everybody, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like the finale, there’s a million other shows and books you will like. But I loved it. To me, there’s no happy ending more powerful than kindness, empathy, and understanding being more powerful than anything else. Even if the loss of the old server & memories after the nukes and the Incident is tragic, to me that only makes the finale bittersweet. I’ll always enjoy a story about compassion over a story about just revenge, especially when it’s so much more fitting to who Tommy is as a character.

It was in the Camarvan that Wilbur had held Fundy in his arms for the first time and whispered promises to the new-born, tear tracks fresh on his face.
It was in the Camarvan that Tommy had looked at him, with wide eyes and mouth agape, finally sinking in that this was Wilbur's son.
It was in the Camarvan that Tubbo learned how to tie diapers, until it had become ingrained in his brain. Tubbo would forget about it until later, when another child walked into his life.
It was here that Eret would ruffle his hair, talking fondly to him even when Fundy was sure he had done everything wrong.
It was in the Camarvan that Lmanberg and Fundy's childhood had started, and though Fundy's childhood had been mere months, it was with the Camarvan's destruction, that Fundy's childhood ended
