(Butterfly Reign chapter 24 spoilers)
As much as I adore br!Tommy, I am GLAD his stunt to frame br!Ranboo won't be rewarded. In fact I was hoping for it and holy damn did the author deliver.
I've been worried over how much anger has clouded Tommy's vision so much for him to truly realize which people are truly to blame of his current circumstances (*cough*philza), hell, maybe he does know, but regardless of how dysfunctional they are, regardless of how much he thinks he's disowned them, and from the way he literally had his fur standing on end when Beau confronted him of his brother's insolence, he still thinks of them as family, they ARE still his family. And that is the exact bane that makes him downscale how actually downright nasty their actions, or lack of thereof, had done to his wellbeing.
Ranboo is just the prime example of some poor worm that Tommy deems fit to throw his anger on because he's not his family, he doesn't know Ranboo the way Tommy knows his family. That despite how much more of a fit target his father and brothers are for his anger, its Ranboo he thinks as his enemy, because he's a stranger he doesn't have a history with, a nuisance, a mere rat that crawled its way in, therefore its easy to bare his fangs on him as the one big bad who'd stolen his family's affections, despite knowing it had never been his for a long time now.
Their dynamic is literally just two deprived children stuck under the emotional whims of the adults around them, with their double standards and different treatment leading them to be pitted against each other. They know this, but one brother is obsessed in the most horrifying ways, the father just downright doesn't fucking care, and the other brother is too indecisive, an enabler who only helps to pick up the pieces after the damage is done, which is almost just as worse, but I still got the barest hope for him.
Over all I just want to get them both outta this damn whole mess đ
Now Tommy's actions, led by spite, bigotry, and anger has come back to bite him in the ass and I am but a grim audience already in acceptance of the upcoming mess this will become.
He had definitely gone too far, to use the memento his dead mother left in that way? I'm so sorry Tommy, but the next possible chain of events might just be the queen giving you bonk from the grave.
