Can we talk about how c!Wilbur borderline worshipped c!Dream for resurrecting him?
Can we talk about how upon hearing C!Tommy say that he built that pillar to kill himself because of what c!Dream did to him, c!Wilbur didn’t even HESITATE to believe c!Tommy, didn’t quibble for a single moment like he did about all the other things c!Dream did in exile (which to defend the zombie man, individually sound like pranks and punishments).
Can we talk about how c!Wilbur dismisses c!Tommy’s recount of the things c!Dream did to him… up until he asks:
“Well, Dream didn’t hurt you, right? Like he didn’t hit you?” And yea, he’s defending dream. Of course he is! The guy did something so good for him, Dream saved him from 13 years of endless isolated void!
But it drops away the minute Tommy says that yes, he did. He hit Tommy. That he demoralized Tommy so bad, he built a pillar. And it was only when he got to the top that he considered not throwing himself off it.
The moment he hears it he pivots immediately from cautious “why does everyone hate Dream so much?” To pure, unadulterated rage.
Sure as shit he understands, now. And if he could, he’d kill the bastard until he ended up in the void, too.
Tommy is the thing to finally change his mind. Tommy.
