#traumatized ctommy be crazy

I think c!tommy would have shaky hands so he had trouble tying his shoes so he left them loose but he would trip a lot cause of it.

Exile cTommy drives me crazy bc his themes are so deeply about isolation and an abuse victim having to save themselves. Which, is really powerful. Especially for people who don’t have support networks, who can’t be rescued, seeing it’s possible to do it oneself.

But also. Because it’s so effective. Because it hurts so much. I WANT to save him. I’m begging for him to be rescued. For anyone at all to hear him scream. Tommy isn’t a damsel, he is capable of saving himself, but he shouldn’t have to. Those fics are a different sort of comfort to those hurting. That someone will care, that they’ll be rescued. That he deserves to be.

In some sense I’m certain the reverse would be true if canon and those types of fics were reversed. That is how fandom functions, teasing apart the whatifs.

Still I’m endlessly grateful that cTommy wasn’t rescued. Especially with the bedrock bro healing after. Tommy isn’t looking for help when he goes to Techno, he’s literally living under the floorboards. And even when he’s discovered Techno is so deeply not equipped to play therapist for a traumatized teen. He’s still bleeding, but it was him who pulled out the blade.

Point number 3 is my favorite even if its unlikely to happen, but I think point 2 is the most likely. At least based on what we have now. I mean, c!Dream could actually just be really bad and obvious, but as of now it makes more sense for him to have some ulterior motive, though what that could possibly be and why him tormenting c!Tommy would have a role in it I'm not sure.

I guess point 1 could happen but like. It'd be a really big coincidence that some other character just decided to torment c!Tommy while posing as c!Dream at the same time that c!Dream says he's gonna torment c!Tommy to make him look crazy. And there's a bunch of other stuff that would create plot holes and shit. Like not sure I'd enjoy this one writing wise lol, but I mean. It's not like we haven't had a twist that creates more plot holes than it fixes *cough cough* the disc war finale being staged *cough cough*

ya i kindof agree that nr 2. is the most likely even tho i think people will be really annoying and be all like seeee cdreams real motive wasnt to make everyone believe ctommy was crazy he was just tormenting him abd traumatizing him for some other reason ^^ and it makes me frustrated bc he was so little to go off here why cdream would go out of his way to make ctommy suffer this way otherwise... lol

nr 1 is interesting i saw someone earlier today suggesting csam is the one doing it and i kinda scrolled past it rly fast and i wish i hadnt cus it rly intruiged me...
