#exiled arc

The buttercups look as though they are rotting as Xisuma brings him to the SMP, an arm firmly around his shoulder. Phil almost throws up looking at them, horror in his face. They look dead, decaying into Tommy’s hair.

Sally does throw up, into the bushes.

It’s not supposed to happen, moobloom hybrid’s flowers only wilt when their souls are weakened significantly - rotting flowers only happen if the hybrid is suicidal. Tommy can’t, Tommy isn’t suicidal. Is he?

Xisuma must know this, because the glare he sends the others could kill. Ranboo is the only one who doesn’t wilt in his stare, though Xisuma doesn’t glare at Purpled either.

Tommy is safely brought out of the world, and Stress helps him pull the rotting flowers from his head, new buds blooming in their place. He’s safe. The flowers are greyer, they wilt easily, but he’s getting better.

Yeah, Tommy’s food sources are all pretty wild. Existing off of food that is found in forests, hiding the small farms he has under dirt and stone.

He grows a lot of flowers, buttercups mainly because his nerves grow them under his feet. He also grows roses and tulips in flower beds. He hides the moths from Dream, in attics and closets that Dream never bothers to look too closely in.

Dream does kill a few moths, ones that he sees Tommy trying to hide. It hurts Tommy, but Dream manipulates the situation well - If Tommy didn’t want the moths killed he should have just told Dream! Dream thought they were pests, its not his fault - and thats the real beginning of Tommy falling under Dream’s thumb. 

He’s saved before Dream can fully make him a puppet, but it will take years for Tommy to recover. Clementine stays firmly on his shirt, sometimes confusing people into thinking that she’s a broach. 

Of course!

- Ranboo and Tommy become closer friends, standing up to Dream when the other can’t.

- Tommy rubs off on Ranboo and the man grows a spine. Nature heals itself 💜💜💜

- Dream physically hurts Ranboo more, but Tommy gets a lot of physiological harm done to him. Both of them have to help each other heal after Dream leaves.

- Eret is a lot more concerned in this au, and he gives up the kingship willingly, in front of the entire SMP (he has a cool speech about Dream undermining his kingship and sending away the heir to the SMP’s crown)

- Purpled contacts Grian, like he does in the main au. However, Grian comes alone to check out whats going on with Ranboo and Tommy.

- Dream still gives the pair the same amount of food that he did in the main au, so they starve a lot faster (that also means that Tommy has to share half a chicken over christmas)

- Ranboo’s dreamon side gets protective of Logstedshire and Tommy, due to them being the only safe people to be around. However, Dream never physically hurts either, so Ranboo doesn’t really know what to do.

- Ranboo builds a castle for Eret to stay in in Logstedshire, like how Tommy builds houses for his family.

- Ranboo’s dreamon side does snap and take control occasionally, especially while he’s starving. Tommy occasionally gets hurt, but most of the time the island loses a lot of its cows and pigs.

- Tommy gets really good at bandaging wounds.
