#sad Tom and his Unresolved childhood trauma, sometimes i think people kept forgetting that all that evilness truly come from his lack of Love during childhood and growing up in poverty and an abusive orphanage made him crave for Validation, and Greatness, he wanted to erase his past Identity that he view as weak and pathetic because he sees himself so far off compared to all the other Hogwarts students (especially slytherins) that’s why he’s so ambitious and he will do violent things to get what he wants because that is exactly what a boy who grew up alone, poor and during a time of War would do. The bombing between muggles that wake him up for most of the night clutching his sheets scared, and the children and matriach that was supposed to be his Mother that secluded him into thinking he was a freak and strange and even possesed by demons 😭.
I think that the time he was about to create his first Horcux by k wording his entire family, he wasn’t absolutely sure about doing it thoroughly until they basically drove him to, his Father hated him and his grandparents hates him more, he saw no chance for a family then, he realised that he truly was alone that he’s just nothing but an orphan with no one else. and so he had nothing else to lose.
The way he clutches to the Slytherin name is just his coping mechanism, the Muggle world has rejected him and it’s bitter, and if he cannot even claim his Wizard ancestry then he truly is alone in this world.
