c!tommy is the epitome of humanity, he's been hurt and yet has hurt, he's loved and has been loved, his character is tragically ironic, from the beginning of his story wilbur (during the l'manburg arc) was the reason dream hated Tommy (in which caused all his dream related trauma), and being apart of the reason tommy lost his his friendship with tubbo, and then the only person he trusts at this point, his brother, is then manipulated by the enemy, the sole person they both hated was the reason wilbur was manipulated into hurting tommy again, and that's why he was so human, even people like Phil and techno hurt and betrayed tommy because they didn't see him for what he is, the way jshlatt didn't, wilbur didn't and dream CERTAINLY didnt, EVERYONE up until quackity didn't see him for what he is, a kid, and by the time he meets quackity the one adult who sees Tommy, the real tommy, the loud, playful, gentle kid, he's manipulated back into the same abusive cycle as before, it's sad how everyone around him removed Tommy's humanization from him, they dehumanized him, they saw him as an enemy or a pawn, not a teenager and that's why he's so tragic, time and time again he's hurt and for reasons he could never control, and thats why when he was driven to the point of suicide during the exile arc it was so much sadder, because Tommy is so remarkably human, and so tragically a child
