And personally i find it quite interesting

If we want to compare them a bit...

Toy Soldier's song is slower and the singer is more detached from the story it is telling, while Tim's song is fast, loud, full of emotions and sang from singer perspective ( "we'll murder..." "they tried to break our firm resolve") - so basically Tim seems to be more connected to the words he is singing

We also learn from the lyrics about Toy Soldier's lack of feelings towards its opponents (or about its lack of feelings in general). And right after its song's ends we are greated with Tim who is hurting from loss of his friend. Tim who is furious. Who is filled with bloodlust. And who feels a mf lot.

Tim's desire to avenge his friend (and destroy Kaiser army hehe) stands in opposition to Toy soldier's lack of solidarity and willigness to fight its earlier comrades after changing sides

After spending a bit of time here on tumblr dot com, I haven’t seen anyone talk about this but. I believe that good old first name Gunpowder last name Tim caused the events of HNOC. Let me explain

The first and most important piece of evidence is the music. During DTTM, when they’re describing Tim’s death, the music playing is the intro to HNOC. It only seems important because of what music they use for everyone else (like Lost in the Cosmos for Brian, and I think either Hades or Lucky Sevens for Ashes, etc. (I don’t remember for the rest of them)). But like. Tim isn’t really tied in any way to HNOC thematically or narratively, as far as we know (and if we’re talking about music that’s thematically relevant for the character, referencing GTVTMK would make more sense I think?)

The other evidence I will present has more to do with the lore of the albums. Tim specifically steals the largest gunship to ever be created. And as evidenced by the scale of Fort Galfridian and the fact that the person in charge of it was a general, it makes sense that this civilization would have the technological and military capability to create said gunship. And we know Tim went on a murder spree, so maybe that’s why no one was responding to their distress calls? And then, of course, Tim finally dies by crashing into a space station (not wearing his seatbelt). At the start of HNOC, Fort Galfridian is already in disrepair and in a decaying orbit, and what better to leave it that way than being crashed into by the largest gunship ever? (And, tying in with the first piece of evidence, the music referenced was of course that of the one album that *took place on* a space station.)

Gunpowder Tim!!
