#nurm rambles

I understand cc!tommy hasn't addressed his and phil's canon relationship, and that his character clearly has an emotional attachment to phil, but remember that tommy can still see phil as a father figure and not be biologically related, especially as phil has said that most of the server see him as some sort of father figure already. they don't have to be blood related to have that sort of dynamic.

(idk if tommy has confirmed his and philza relationship but he calls him dadza so I will assume it's canon)

first of all, he kills wilbur. sure wilbur asked him to but it was entirely his choice. wilbur is his first-born.

then he only visits tommy like once in exile and basically makes fun of him. then he is never around when tommy is when tommy comes and lived with him and techno. and consequently teams up with dream, his son's abuser, then proceeds to destroy his sons' home.

ok so. because wilbur decided not to format his work in the usual manner, i copy pasted it into a google doc to add the paragraph breaks where he put them/where they're supposed to be e.g. when there's a new speaker for dialogue.

i usually really struggle to read fics that are big blocks of text (which this is, especially if you're reading on mobile) and I know other people do too, so i've tried to make it more accessible and easily readable - especially since it's important canon for wilburs character and dsmp as a whole !

honestly his motives r valid, however his execution of the plans and his interactions with like. every character except techno and possibly ranboo r pretty harsh.

he didn't save friend for ghostbur despite promising to take care of him - and it was a very quick thing that he admitted to knowing about. and they had a long while to prepare for destroying l'manburg, so he wasn't exactly short on time. he treated fundy, his canonical grandson, like shit (again i only have secondhand knowledge of this so correct me if I'm wrong) and also he and techno teamed with dream despite knowing that he had hurt/abused tommy in some way. as far as I am aware he also mainly blames tubbo, as the ex-president of l'manburg? even though in fact most of the problems with the actual government stemmed from his the cabinet (quackity, and fundy to a lesser extent). he also took immense pleasure in the distress of everyone trying to stop the explosions - who were not actually the people in the government (except for tubbo and maybe quackity? I'm not sure about him though). most of them weren't even citizens of l'manburg. then he told ghostbur it was all about sending a message against government, so he clearly hadn't taken into account that for a lot of people l'manburg was the community - for tommy, for example. he treats a lot of people with a cold indifference, for example the way he spoke to eret outside techno's house.

c!phil only really sees things (and most people) as having no sentimental value - which is fine, but then he doesn't respect that others may have attachments to people and things, and destroys or damages them without a thought as to how that can emotionally hurt someone. which he should really think about, since his main reason for destroying l'manburg was because how they had treated techno, who he cares about a lot.
