Why did the fandom preception of c!Tubbo change so much in s3/s4? I've been active during the 2021/2022 time frame, but like, I never fully got the shift from innocent little ram boy to chaos child. From what I understand of the actual story, c!Tubbo is a very reactive character, that doesn't involve himself in much if any conflict if he can and that doesn't change. His personality is also a pretty linear thing I would say, you can still sense his trauma don't get me wrong (especially in the disc finale), but he's not a chaos child obsessed with nukes, be so fr.

Like I think Tubbo's character is the strongest in s2, because that's where he goes through his little character development which is really good. The way he learns to stand up to himself, he grows from the inexperienced president who got pressured into exiling not only a citizen, but his best friend to a president willing to stand up for Ranboo in front of big q, even after his lowest moment (giving up cDream the disc). It's were cc!Tubbo's acting is the strongest in my opinion, it's almost sad how little good quality lore we get from him moving forward in comparison.

I just realized this might've been just an excuse to talk about c!Tubbo and nothing else. Eh whatever, he's a great character, s2 especially!

Here's a little sneak peak to a short c!clingy animation I'm working on, to make sure I fill my fanart quota for the day:

I have made a new ctntduo fanfic!! it’s inspired by reputation by Taylor Swift, each chapter is based loosely on a song. it’s set in a mafia alternate universe and id love it if you’d check it out!

 (c!foolish’s dark past - lore recap) 

tldr: before retiring as a builder at the summer home, foolish had a dark past as a violent warrior, a “totem of death”-- a life which he later turned away from in order to find peace.

||Honeybee - Ranboo, Tubbo & Michael||

Song: Honeybee - Steam Powered Giraffe Art: FuzzyCryptid - YT Fandon: DSMP

"Oooo Ooo Oooo Ooo." The Enderman sat in a field of flowers humming to himself, tail flickering around as the wind carried some petals past.

"You didn't have to look my way." The Enderman tilts his head to the side, following the petals. Spotting the small ram and his son beginning to approach.

"Your eyes still haunt me to this day." A warm smile on the brunette's face slowly melted one on the Endermans' as well, Tubbos, mismatched eyes look down to the toddler in his arms.

"But you did. Yes, you did" The Enderman looks down to the allium he's holding and then back up to his boy.

"You didn't have to say my name" As Tubbo got closer, Ranboo reached over and placed the flower between Michael's ear.

"Ignite my circuits and start a flame. But you did." A smile formed on Michael's face as the two of them sat down to join the Enderman.

"Oh, Turpentine erase me whole." The memory of that day starts to go dark, as Ranboo's memory slips.

"Cause I don't want to live my life alone." Ranboo reaches a hand out to try and get Tubbo's attention, only for the Ram's blackout figure to move further away.

-

"Well, I was waiting for you all my life." Ranboo closed his outstretched hand, tears staining his face as he sat up.

"Oh." A small bzt comes from his hand as he begins to open the tightly closed fist.

"Why" A small honeybee sits in his palm, wings a little crinkled but not damaged from the pressure.

"Set me free, my... honey-bee," The bee begins to fly away. A small smile on his face as tears formed.

"Ho-ney-Bee." The bumblebee flies around the Enderman a few times before taking off for good. A sad chuckle as the Enderman gets up for the day.

-

"You didn't have to smile at me." An image of Tubbo comes into his mind when they first met, so innocent and sweet. His bee boy.

A soft smile on his face, horns barely showing past his fringe as he wore his green shirt. "Your grin's the sweetest that I've ever seen." Comparing the ram to how he looks now.

Scars trailing over his body from the firework, a detonation button for his nukes in hand. "But you did. Yes, you did." But he still had a smile on his face, he was still him, he still was his bee.

-

"You didn't have to offer your hand." He remembers following Tubbo around with a grass block on him, the ram talking his ear off about his plans to build Snowchester.

-

"Cause since I've kissed it I am at your command." A smile on their faces as they talk to Foolish about building them a mansion to live in together. "But you did."

-

"Oh, Turpentine erase me whole," The duo explained to Tommy how they fell in love after the marriage. Tom's mouth was wide open with shock but congratulated them.

-

"I don't want to live my life alone." Ranboo made it back to his house, only to find out his 'Do Not Read' book was missing, only to later find it in one of his double chests.

-

"I was waiting for you all my life." Reaching Dream's cell in Pandora's Vault he shifted awkwardly as Dream began to thank the hybrid for the help, Ranboo denied any form of help as Dream revealed his chest was full of copies of his missing book.

"Oh," Opening one of the books, he's met with the realisation the front page is blank...

"Why." Only a :) on the page.

"Set me free, my... honey-Bee." Ranboo began to freak out, as blocks around him began to collapse, and the prison floor began to crumble around him, causing him to fall to his death in the pit of lava.

-

"Ho-ney-Bee." He awakes in his obsidian 'panic room' rocking back and forward. The signs around the room provide no comfort. He cries as he tries to remember anything. His friends, his enemies, what side he was on - anything.

-

"Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you." Ranboo goes to find another stronghold, deciding to make a lab for him to relearn the powers he's long forgotten.

Honeybee.

"How I find myself without you" He reaches for the potion labelled 'remember test #1'. Hands shaking as he gulped it down as he sat in his lab.

-

"That I'll never know." He panics as he flips through his first memory book. Seeming frustrated with the words, he lights a fire.

Honeybee.

"I let myself go." As he slowly moves the book to the flame, the sides of the book begin to catch aflame. Only to quickly put out the flames realising to burn the book would mean to forget.

I let myself go.

-

"Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy." The cold breeze hit his face as he realised Nikki and Technoblade saw him. After talking to him and getting his opinion on things, they began to loosen up.

"And I never thought I was crazy." The two extended an invitation to The Syndicate with open arms. Only to have them discuss Snowchester. -

"But what do I know?" Ranboo runs into his and Tubbo's home to destroy the ladders up to Michael's room.

But what do I know?

"I let myself go." Finally exhaling as The Syndicate leaves, a chuckle of relief comes from Tubbo as he gently punches the Enderman's arm.

I let myself go.

-

"Honeybee." The chilled air flows through the window in Snowchester, Ranboo takes a second to regain his composure as a tear slides down his face because of the memories.

"Honeybee." He looks down at the rose sitting on the window sill, a small bee landed comfortably on the petals. the buzzing providing comfort.

Honeybee.

"Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you." He hears soft giggles behind him from his son.

"How I find myself without you." "That I'll never know." He wipes the tears off his face as he turns and smiles at the toddler. The piglin gave a warm smile to the enderman as he waved to his dad.

Honeybee.

"I let myself go." Ranboo walks over and leans down to place a kiss on Michael's forehead before moving back to the stove.

"Hello goodbye, I'm rather crazy." A sigh leaves his mouth as he's glad he's back in the present. He begins to make the rest of the pancakes.

-

"And I never thought I was crazy" He remembers finding Micheal in the nether.

But what do I know?" The smile on the Piglin's face when he saw the gold carrots in Ranboo's hand.

But what do I know?

I let myself go" Micheal laughed at Tubbo and Ranboo as they caught him a new chicken.

I let myself go.

Hello Goodbye, twas was nice to know you." Tuboo and Micheal sit patiently as Ranboo sets the timer of a camera before sprinting over to them. Smiles on all their faces.

That I'll never know.

-

"How I find myself without you." A small thump and something grabbing his leg causes the Enderman to look down.

"Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy." The piglin clings to his leg smiling up as Ranboo bends down to pick him up.

I let myself go.

"And I never thought I was crazy." He boops the kid's nose as he places him on the table next to where he's cooking.

Hello Goodbye, twas was nice to know you." Michael scoffs down the pancakes before taking Ranboo's hand to play with him.

But what do I know?

How I find myself without you." Ranboo smiles as he gets onto his knees to play blocks with his son, his tail flicking around.

"Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy." The enderman's focus on building the perfect tower stops him from hearing the door click.

"And I never thought I was crazy." Just as he finishes placing the last block, the Piglin is up and running to the door. A small brunette walks in shrugging his jacket off with a smile on his face.

{Not accurate to DSMP lore but I was inspired} Song: Elsa's Song - The Amazing Devil Fandom: DSMP

As the smoke settles around the now exposed bunker, the blonde's ears still ringing but that isn't what he's worried about. His head tilted over as he cradled the younger brunette. His son. 

His son, whose spark is fading in his eyes yet he still is smiling. 

His blood-stained hand reaches for the older face as a hum begins to form. "I can hear the cannons calling as though across a dream." The blonde leans into the hand, tears falling off his face. "And I can smell the smoke of hell in every stitch and seam." A smile formed on his paling face. Not long before his raised arm begins to fall to his side, feeling weaker by the second he focuses on speaking."And like flowers, the bodies tumble around this muddied lot." Phil slowly lets his son's head rest against the floor as his eyes close, still singing.

Philza moves to hold his son's stomach as the sword stands tall, being held between his ribs. "I cannot hear them scream, "Forget me not." He whispers as he slowly passes. 

- "Your voice it carries over," The yellow sunset panning over the duo's face as they sat along the wall. "The hubbub and the hum." Tommy looks to Wilbur with a bright smile on his face, before the battle. 

Two crows circle in the sky, foretelling the doom that awaits. "And it paints the sky and circles high like the beating of a drum." As a feather floats past, Wilbur looks down at his hat with an uneasy look.  Tommy with a cocky smile leans against the leader with his arms over his head. "You will scream, "I won't forget you,"" The older looks and smiles at the younger's cheerful demeanor. "But I'll cover my cold ears." His smile leaving faster than it stayed. The darkening sky ushered the two to get inside. "It cannot be a lie if no one hears." Finally putting his hat upon his head it flashes to his revival. 

- There stood the brunette, a streak of white now in his hair. "Cos although you say good day to me, I know I don't belong." The loud blonde reaches out to grab his hand, both of their hands covered in bruises and bandages.

"And although you hold my hand" His hand turns into a fist as paranoia kicks in, eyes wide. "And say, "I love you,"" He snatches his hand out of Tommy's grasp. "You are wrong!" Grabbing the boys shirt. Wilbur's tear stained face stares him down. "Because love does not exist here, in this garden, there's no feeling." He releases the red and white shirt as he turns to leave. A worried and scared expression plastered all over Tommy's face. 

As the brunette faces away "And you say the words so often that I BARELY know the meaning." Tommy looks down at the floor as guilt sets in. -

"And before I go, Tommy. Don't trust those Americans." "Tommy I'm going home!"-  The pale blue sky surrounds him as he places a hand over his heart. "And when all the flowers are rotten and all the cannons shot." A patch of blood forming on his shirt and smothering his hand. He gets to his knees and lays down. "I'll scream, but you won't hear, "forget me not."" As he takes a breath lying down, he takes his final breath in peace and at home.

-

"And in years to come you'll wander to the place up on our hill," Looking to the world, like a man on a mission. The boy tries to hold in all the tears until he makes it to L'mantree. "And then you'll cry to our painted sky," A stream flows down the boys face as he sobs out,  "I loved him then, I love him still!" His chest rises with pain. He takes a breath as he looks down. "And you'll strew some sage and lilies and roses where I rot."

A strong breeze hits the boy as his shirt and hair swayed. "Of all the flowers you picked." As if Wilbur was there, watching in the after  life. He stands behind Tommy, rustling his hair with the wind. "I knew you would forget." "Tommy, take your time. I'll see you on the other side"

And just like that, he was gone.

Song: How Bad Can I Be? - The Lorax

Fandom DSMP

*tick tick*

Mr.President  it says on his desk.

*tick tick*

He leans on the desk, drink in hand. Eyes on his reflection, only to be brought back to the present as Quackity, his right hand man slowly strummed his guitar

A smirk forms as he turns his full attention to the discussion earlier that day.

"Yeah, 'bad'. Right." He downs his drink as he slams the empty cup on the desk. 

Leaving the desk to go put his blazer on and buttons it up.

Quackity right behind him.

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" His footsteps being the only noise in the hallways, stating his presence before the smell of alcohol could. 

"I'm just doing what comes naturally." He swings open the door to be met with Wilbur, a smirk still present on his face. Hand going into his sleeve to pull out a red coin to play with.

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" He walks up the the British as he swings an arm around him like they were old friends and not rivals.

"I'm just following my destiny." Taking his hand off his shoulder, he moves his hand to his back and pushes Wilbur hard enough to cause him to stumble. 

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" He smiles as the brunette turns to look at him, obviously annoyed.

"I'm just doing what comes naturally." He confidently walks over to an older picture frame that had Wilbur, Tommy and Tubbo in it smiling in their uniforms. Tossing his coin at it hard enough to break the glass. 

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" The cracks forming perfectly over the boys faces and breaking Tubbo from the rest. Picking up the coin from the pile of broken glass.

"How bad can I possibly be?" He flicks the coin up and snatches it.

-

"Well there's a principle of nature." The ram stands on the podium, finally becoming the rightful President of now Manberg.

"Principle of nature." Quackity standing behind on his left holding an L on his forehead to the losers, George on his right making the neck slicing motion.

"That almost every creature knows." He glares down at Tommys and Wilburs broken expression and Tubbos distraught look.

"Called survival of the fittest." Moving his arms from the sides he brings them up as he cheers and declares his new rules. 

"Survival of the fittest." The boys behind him let him speak.

"And check it this is how it goes." He snaps his finger gesturing to Wilbur. 

"The animal that eats gotta scratch" feeling as if the world around them shut off and a light only shone on the leader of L'manberg. "And fight and claw and bite and punch." Feeling as though Schlatt was all around him.

Wilbur grabbing Schlatt by the coat as a smirk laid contently on the rams face, "And the animal that doesn't- Well the animal that doesn't." He motions Wilbur to look at Tommys broken expression, unable to move as he was declared exiled. 

"Winds up someone else's lu-lu-lu-lu-lunch." He shoves Wilbur back toward Tommy as they begin to run away. 

"Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch." Quackity jokingly goes.

"I'm just sayin'." Schlatt shrugs as he stands back on the podium."How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" He ushers Tubbo forward from the crowed. The younger ram tense and nervous. His fear fueling the older rams confidence. 

"I'm just doing what comes naturally." He explains as he looks towards Tubbo gesturing the boy to follow.

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?"  The younger ram hesitantly follows, jumping at any movement from the older ram.

"I'm just following my destiny." Smirk never leaving his face he explains what he wants from the younger man.

-

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" Leading towards an enderchest, Schlatt pulls out a new diamond sword.

"I'm just doing what comes naturally." Offering it to Tubbo, giving the younger ram a new job.

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" His smirk gone almost instantly as his gaze hardened on the boy, waiting for him to grab the sword.

"How bad can I possibly be?" The nervous wreck reaches out to grab the sword, as soon as he did the smile was back on Schlatts face.

-

"There's a principle in business." Tommys eyes harden, body moving out of spite.

"Principle in business." Pushing through his desire to rest he gets up from the caves ground. 

"That everybody knows is sound." Wilbur puts his hand out of Tommy to grab after noticing the blonde's sluggish movement. The blonde smirks as his eyes met Wilburs, both now fueled with desire and revenge.

-

"It says the people with the money." Dream turns around to meet the two, striking a deal it seems.

-

"People with the money." Schlatts reign ruining the younger rams health, as he sits next to the President in the next conference meeting, Quackity not paying attention, George sleeping and Fundy with regret in his eyes. 

"Make this ever-loving world go 'round." Schlatts harsh hand on Tubbos shoulder brings him back to the real world.

"So I'm biggering my company." Swinging on the wrecking ball the walls that once kept L'manberg safe are being destroyed to expand Manberg. 

"I'm biggering my factory." Taxes soon came around to each citizen, raising Nikis' as she spoke against him.

"I'm biggering my corporate sign." Draining every lake and slaughtering ever animal on sight.

"Everybody out there, take care of yours." Tubbo writing in his spy diary, Dream looking at the land knowing what he had to do. Tommys glances at Wilburs odd demeanor. 

"And me? I'll take care of mine, mine, mine, mine, mine." With a cigar in his mouth and alcohol in his hand, he begins to declare his next set of rules. 

"Shake that bottom line."  Quackity and Tubbo standing next to him ready to write them down. 

"Let me hear you say Smogulous smoke." Ordering Fundy to burn the L'manberg flag and changing it to Manbergs.

"Smogulous smoke." Wilbur and Tommy watch from the tree line in horror, clutching their wounds as tears formed in Tommy's eyes. 

-

"Schloppity schlop." Tubbo walks up to Tommy, sword in hand.  Tommy turns around surprised at the brunette.

"Schloppity schlop." Only to see tears rolling down Tubbos face as he clutches his shirt.

-

"Complain all you want," Wilbur screams as he walks down the stairs in Pogtopia. 

"It's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop." He reaches over and grabs a fist full of Tommy's shirt, bringing him in closer. As reality dawned on Tommy, Wilbur isn't fighting for L'manberg... but to destroy it.

"Come on how bad can I possibly be?" Tommy struggles from Wilburs hold. He regains his stance as he looks back at Wilbur, his hands raised up mimicking Schlatts posture from before. 

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" Tommy begins to shake as Wilbur and Schlatt seem to merge into one as he moves towards Tom. 

"I'm just building an economy." Wilbur swapped to Schlatts face with a smug smile. 

-

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" Tubbo sits in Manberg holding the now broken picture frame.

"Just look at me pettin' this puppy" JSchlatt says as he roughly pets Fundy's head. 

-

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" Wilbur stands infront of a wall of buttons, not remembering which one sets off the tnt.

-

"A portion of proceeds goes to charity." Quackity stands on the podium, being the crowds attention as he bows.

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be?" Schlatt keeps an eye on Tubbo, the smaller rams baggy eyes and flighty appearance becoming suspicious. 

"How bad can I possibly be?" Quackity calls for Schlatt to rise to the podium. The taller ram smoothing out his suit as he rose, "Let's see."

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) The festival shows a large crowd full of people talking to one another. A certain pig mask catches Schlatts gaze.

"All the customers are buying." Schlatt welcomes the people to the festival.

-

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Wilbur slams his hand on the wall, moving to slam his hand on the button, only to have it disappear under his hand."

-

"And the money's multiplying." Schlatt continues to grab the audiences attention.

-

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Tubbo drops the sword and runs to Tommy, hands clinging onto the blonde as he sobs into his shirt.

"And the PR people are lying." Without hesitation, Tommy brings them on their knees and hugs the ram back.

-

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Schlatt brings Tubbo to the stadium, a smile on the smaller ram as he goes to give the speech.

"And the lawyers are denying." Schlatt interrupts and begins to shout about Tubbo becoming a traitor, locking him in the stodium.

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) On top of a nearby roof, Tommy moves to go help the smaller ram. Only to have his hand caught by Wilbur. Cheering brings their attention back to the stage.

"Who cares if a few trees are dying?" Techno stands, firework aimed at Tubbo as people began to shout horrendous things. 

(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Tommy watched from above, being able to do nothing.

"This is all so gratifying." Quackity looks away, having realised what Schlatt is ordering.

Quackity looks up just as he gets slammed to the side by a blonde. "How bad..." Tommy rushing to shove a standing still Technoblade aside-*BANG*

"How bad can this possibly be?" Schlatts laugh ringed around, as staggered breaths fell from the three others.  Not a breathe from the smaller ram... 

Song: Surface Pressure - Encanto

Fandom: DSMP

(Fanart by smackbear)

*Bang! Bang!*  echoed through the heated room as the forge burned through its fuel. In the middle was the sturdy figure, covered in heat protection gear as he handled the hot iron swords. 

A sigh left his body as he finally gives into his emotions, remembering everything. 

"I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous." Grinding out the sides of the sword to reduce the chips and make the sharp edge, now only in a sweater and heat protection gloves he works the fine blade.

"I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is." He removes the gloves after finally being done with the swords for the day. Easily lifting the heavy swords into their stands, the scarred figure turns to leave the large forge.

"I move mountains, I move churches." He grabs his winter coat to protect him from the coldness of Snowchester. "And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is." The yellow radioactive symbol standing out  as it took most of the coats back. 

He opens the forges door to be met by the cold breeze. "I don't ask how hard the work is." He turns a corner, standing on top of the wall. "Got a rough indestructible surface."

"Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em." His feet lay tracks in the snow of where he once was, he turns to look out at the sea, knowing one or two of his mates are out there messing around. "I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but-" A firework full of colours went off out at sea.

"Under the surface." He was still in his suit, standing behind Quackity and Jschlatt. "I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus." Quackity leans in close to make the boy unsteady as Schlatt drops a large pile of paper work in his hands.

"Under the surface." Nervously the smaller ram crinkled the paper as Schlatt played with him like a cat toying with a mouse, "Was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?""

"Under the surface." Tubbo hurrys down the hall with the papers that was given to him from Schlatt with 'TOP SECRET' on it, passing it to the man in front of him. "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." Wilbur took the papers with a smile.

"A flaw or a crack" He smiles back at Wilbur before panicking hearing the bigger rams voice, as if he's haunting the young ram. 

"The straw in the stack" Feeling as though the President has a grasp around him dragging him down, he struggles. 

"That breaks the camel's back." Jschlatt ushering Technoblade with the crossbow. Wilbur having his hands around Tommy's mouth so he doesn't scream out. Hands and body pressed against the box he was now in as the bow was steadied and aimed at him.

"What breaks the camel's back, it's-" 

[Tubbo_ went off with a bang due to a firework from [Subscribe to Technoblade] from Technoblade]

Blue, red and white filled the air.

"Pressure, like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa" The blood pouring from his face as the wounds stayed when he came back.

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa, oh, oh" Tears began to flow from his eyes, as he bandages himself.

"Give it to your sister, your sister's older." He shuffles to Tommy, the blonde beaming with joy as people cheered. Tubbo taking the pressure off Tommy he accepts the role. 

"Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder." Becoming the President just like he was.  

"Who am I if I can't run with the ball?" He shakes his head before standing at the podium about to give his speech. 

"If I fall to" He whispers as he begins to change from his normal clothes back into a suit. 

"Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa." He turns to see Dream with Tommy, giving an ultimatum.

Feeling as though Dream has him tied like as puppet. "Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh." Tubbo cracks.

"Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger." He runs to Tommy, "see if she can hang on a little longer."

"Who am I if I can't carry it all?" He questions his choices and option as he turns to Dream. 

"If I falter" Dream turns away with a hard hand on Tommy's shoulder. 

"Under the surface." He paces around Fundy and Quackity, "I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us." Paranoid Technoblade would come back. 

"Under the surface." He runs and runs trying to escape Dreams grasp but he never can. "The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is." As Techno and Dream began to team up.

"Under the surface." He stumbles over only to see the obsidian grid above him, "I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?"

"Line up the dominoes" The tnt becoming placed.

"A light wind blows" The sound of flint and steel igniting can be heard. 

"You try to stop it tumbling" He clutches his head.

The constantly igniting and falling of tnt, "but on and on it goes." Technoblade summoning the withers.

"But wait," Hes back at Snowchester. "If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations." Ranboos standing there with Micheal in his hands, waving at him. 

Micheal being let down. He runs straight for Tubbo, tackling the rams legs so he staggered and fell. "Would that free some room up for joy."

Ranboo follows suit and falls next to him in the snow. "Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?" Giggles and soft smiles coming from all three. 

"Instead, we measure this growing pressure." Tubbo turns to get up, hands clenching.

"Keeps growing, keep going," His short steps became longer and quicker 

"'Cause all we know is." Las Nevadas. He begins to make walls, creating Walltown. 

"Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa" The cookie outpost becoming heavily fortified. 

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh." Quackity and him discussing the outpost and agreeing to give it too him instead.

"Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and" He turns to Ranboo expressing how he can help with anything. 

"See if she can handle every family burden" He flexes jokingly as he turns to the door with a large nuclear symbol on it.

He enters and quickly approaches the button. "Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks." His hand just above the button, ready to push it.  His open palm closes into a fist. "No mistakes, just." He turns to leave. 

Standing outside the prison. "Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa." Sams sword going straight through the hybrids chest as red and green began to drip onto the grass below. A scream came from the young ram. 

"Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh." Tears feel heavily from the ram as the fight continued around him. 

"Give it to your sister and never wonder." He yells at Ghostboo, "If the same pressure would've pulled you under." Realising the tears flowing more from the ghost he pulls away, tugging at his own hair. 

"Who am I if I don't have what it takes?" He screams

"No cracks, no breaks"  Technoblade giving him the picture of Micheal Ranboo was holding before death. 

(Not yet comprehendable streak of thoughts on the today's finale)

Dream died temporarily, and he left a part of himself in limbo for Tommy to see. He died permanently, and the server restarted.

Dream will never know the reason for why, or how, only that the server is bind to him, the server is him.

He seeks what he cannot ever comprehend. Tommy understands the importance of just accepting it as it is, of existing and living and just being. And that's why they're drawn and so opposed to each other at the same time

Dream is looking for a meaning, Tommy knows the meaning, he symbolizes the meaning and Dream tried to destroy it because he doesn't accept it, tried to change it what he wanted to see and he STILL failed because Tommy is Tommy.

The player tries to understand the world, tries to put meaning to the infinite flicker of uncountable pixels, tries to bend it to its liking but it all fails because he cannot change the world.
