CW: 02:11 - loud beeping About Tommy switching sides: I'm honestly on neither characters' sides. Tommy's loyalty was always gonna be with Tubbo no matter what, and being with Techno was turning him into something he didnt want to be. On the flip side, switching sides made Techno feel betrayed, though I dont think Tommy thinks he did betray him. Then Techno destroys the one thing they had all been fighting for and loved, something he was very straightforward about but Tommy didnt think he'd do because he believed they were friends. They were friends when they had a common goal and interest, but then Tommy realised that's not what he wanted anymore, which is valid. Point is, neither character is necessarily completely right or wrong. Both were hurt, both felt betrayed, both have done bad and good things, both were thinking they were doing right by them. Also, y'all forgetting Techno was willing to give Tommy to Dream if he used his favour.

[@carlosmartel5419]

Man thats a good point but at the same time like techno was there to defend tommy against the entire server while tubbo just exiled him. But then again i think techno is the only character the dream doesnt have complete control over other than the favor so maybe thats why techno didnt mind doing a 2v50.

[@emeraldrabbit5587]

True. I feel like Techno blade from the start treated Tommy as a business partner, not as a friend. But Tommy thinks that they are friends who is working together. So when Tommy decided that he wanted to be with Tubbo. Techno blade feel betrayed by Tommy probably because for how much he did for Tommy. And Tommy probably thought that going back to Tubbo's side is not betraying Techno blade. But Tubbo is on the side of the government, which Techno blade is fighting against. Techno blade also didn't tell Tommy that he is going to destroy the l'manberg. Techno blade told Tommy that they are getting Tommy's disk and that's all Tommy knows. Techno blade hide that fact from Tommy. Like when he delete that he is going to destroy the l'manberg in his to-do list when Tommy wanted to see the dairy. And then added it back when he have dairy back. So when Tommy decided that he is going to be with Tubbo. He thought his goals with Techno blade is over. But Techno blade's plans is not over, and therefore believe that Tommy betrayed him. Also, please correct me if I am wrong. :D

[@shadowalpha6563]

@@emeraldrabbit5587 I think you forgot the part where Tecno gave Tommy the Axe of Peace and said that they were friends plus I think Tecno would backstab Dream if he used the favour to take Tommy(he gave Tommy to Dream per request then followed them secretly then he would rescue Tommy and MAYBE kill Dream in the proces).

@Dragongamer 7 Dream is so scary not only because he knows when to bluff, but also because he knows when not to. Something he never bluffs on are his threats, which he showed several times over. So now him threatening with words has almost the same effect as him actually doing the did. I would argue that with Techno Dream's leverage isn't the favour per se (although it is definitely a tool in his arsenal), but the fact that both of them consider fighting each other as something like mutually assured destruction. They have no idea who would win (it would probably come down to preparation and outside factors tbh) and neither of them got to where they were by willingly taking on fights they have a good chance of losing. So they each try to stay on the other good side, or at the very least avoid going directly against them.

@Student Desi Dinaeva Nope to the favor. But Techno's loyalty isn't only to Tommy. Dream did save him and Techno wants to lay down the options and bring suspense

[@justalula7151]

If you look at it objectively, it is a stupid choice but when you look at it from Tommy's POV, He fought Tubbo and told him the discs weren't as important as him.In that moment,he realized that he was becoming just like Wilbur. Selfishly pursuing his own goal despite it hurting and traumatising those he loved.Pushing away those that were once dear to him especially Tubbo who was himself also being manipulated by Dream just like him. What choice did he have ? betray his morals and following in Wilbur's footsteps to have what he wanted but lose what he had or fight with Tubbo and L'manburg and not give the same trauma Wilbur gave to him to Tubbo. It was the only choice he could make since after all Tommy cares about Tubbo the most on the server. He could try to get the discs with Tubbo but he couldn't get Tubbo with the discs.

[@justalula7151]

@John Philip Tan While I do agree that Tommy should stop calling him a traitor and should apologize for emotionally betraying Techno. (not of their partnership but of the trust they had) though Techno is selfish. One of his infamous quotes is of him saying hes a person but people seem to forget what comes next. Tommy tells him that yes he is a person but so are they and that he just destroyed L'manburg for his own self gain. He destroyed L'manburg twice because of how he felt about its government. How he was betrayed how he was used but he never truly aknowledges the harm he has caused to other people. He always justifies his mistakes making it seem like other people's fault. He killed Tubbo and always chalks it up to "Peer pressure and you didn't help me" seemingly downplaying his actikn and with blowing up L'manburg "they used me" and "the butcher army". Most of the people who were on L'manburg's side joined last minute so how were they supoose to know he was anti-government (canonically of course) ? and for the second time, the butcher army hunting him down is a consequence to his action of blowing up L'manburg and he says that hes retired and changed but how were they suppose to know if they didn't even tell them ?and how were they even suppose to trust him . He has purposely dragged people who haven't even done anything and destroyed their land.He doesn't aknowledge all the people hes hurt. He doesn't even try to see things from the perspective of others. He destroys a country cuz of its government people but he doesn't even think about its citizens who haven't even done anything to him.He is a victim but he just always keeps using this to excuse his actions so much even when hes done something wrong that he seems to have a victim complex.

[@Upstartvirus04]

Absolutely love the way you represented the strings that they had. Tommy having multiple strings attached yo him, on his hands and neck, representing the control Dream had over his life. But once Techno moved between Dream and Tommy they dissapeared, kinda representing that Dream, at that time, had no control over Tommy. That Tommy was no longer his Marionette. And with Techno he only has one string, the favor. But that string is tied to Technos neck, representing the amount of damage Dream could do with that one string. Honestly, I'm just a sucker for Puppeteer type animations but this one does a real good job representing Dreams control. Again, very nice work.

[@Grimmijaggers]

Ok something that I found interesting at 1:37 Dream said “you left” but when Dream took Tommy to that island he said he could leave as long as he don’t go back so in the end Tommy didn’t go against Dream when he went to live with Techno. The only rule he broke was the going back to L’manburg one.

[@Grimmijaggers]

So, how I understand it, is that it's a control/manipulation tactic. Not just literally 'you left the location you were in' but rather in the sense of Tommy left the only location he could be found at, which was the second home Dream made for him in exile, where they spent a lot of time together. So it's more of a 'you left *me*' type of line. That, with the addition of 'I was the only one that was your friend' makes me think it's more of a: "You left when I did so much for you, and now you're here, which you're not supposed to be". I could also be reading wayyy too much into it, but I think Dream is trying to make Tommy feel guilty, basically.

Tommy’s face when techno stepped in :3 it’s gold 🤗

[@galuxius1861]

This animation is beautiful. I love how you really portrayed some of the emotion in this using just the audio. When Techno and Tommy are nervous about Dream they are on a lower level and smaller than Dream. Dream is on stairs above them looking down. Now let me go way into too much depth on this bit of animation because I just love it so much. When Dream offers his hand out (which is usually meant to represent helping and getting someone off of their feet) there are strings attached to that 'kindness' When Techno goes to defend Tommy he's now on eye level. Face to face. Dream isn't looking at Techno when talking to him and instead focusing on Tommy who is very intimidated when making eye contact with Dream. Tommy moving away from Techno (used to shield himself from Dream) when he hears of the deal. Like Dream's 'kindness' the string around Tommy's neck flashes up when Techno's protection can be persuaded. Instead of hiding behind techno he instead looks up at the two adults towering over him between the two. Both of their actions can be changed or have strings attached. The camera is looking down at Tommy because he's a child caught in the middle of adults who showed him kindness (Dream offering the disc) and protection (Technoblade not handing Tommy over) are for their own gain. He can't go with Dream because of the strings attached, but can't hide behind techno at this second because of the possible trade over. When Dream turns his back (no longer having eye contact with Tommy) he gets confident. Then when the adult with some power stands up to Dream and talks back to him Tommy follows his lead. MAYBE I'm going way into this but still

[@slightlydistressedslug6627]

:(

[@elohim447]

I feel like dream and techno have a mutual respect and somewhat fear of each other, because they know that the other is the only one that can kill them. By themselves atleast

[@Grimmijaggers]

I wouldn't say 'fear' per say, but I definitely agree with you!

I like these character designs most animators over detail the characters

[@Grimmijaggers]

Thank you! It's easier for me to draw the characters over and over again if they're not too detailed. Not that I dont love detailed character designs, haha.

[@ravensfrost4569]

Holy crap. When techno stepped in and the green chains went away, wow. That was absolutely incredible, that was so amazing, it was like, the most perfect animation to pair this scene with. I started freaking out that was so incredible. This deserves a million likes

[@Grimmijaggers]

Thank you so much!

[@GrokeytheHunter]

I do love seeing techno and dream as equals in power, it makes them both more intimidating

[@anametuerartist2250]

something that i just realised/thought about. when Dream said "tommy umma need you to come with me" what-what was he going to do to tommy? Take him back to the place he was exiled and destroy all his things again? lock him up somewhere far away? put him in the prison? (cant remember if it was built at this time or not) dream wouldn't of killed tommy but...how much would he have tortured him, if techno hadn't stepped in?

[@Grimmijaggers]

I think Dream was going to put him in the prison, or put him in a temporary prison of some sorts until he could be transferred to the current one he's in. Either way, I think he'd manipulate Tommy into believing everything was his fault and he deserves to be alone, except this time because he disappointed Dream and not because he was exiled by Tubbo. Glad that didn't happen, it'd be heartbreaking to see.

[@vixx_.1]

Hm, don’t you ever think Tommy is becoming the next Dream? Everyone was so afraid of Tommy being the next Wilbur but, he might just be the next Dream. All the things Dream did (what you just said) is almost what Tommy is doing, took away everything and blew them up, putting Dream in prison with nobody to see him, Tommy doing the same tactic Dream did with the manipulation, etc. Don’t you ever just think that?

[@anametuerartist2250]

@@vixx_.1 that's pretty interesting actually, I haven't watched many of tommy's streams lately so as far as I know he was building the hotel with sam and just acting generally the same as when he first joined the smp. But it wouldn't surprise me if he did start acting like dream, with his characters trauma, i feel it'd be more likely for him to use the tactics used on him, in order to protect himself from being manipulated again. perhaps, unintentionally hurting the people around him, to protect himself.

I just imagine dream lives at the world border and when I say the world border I mean the World corner because he would be the most insane person and probably be the only person next to techno to try to do that And then to top it all off at each world corner he has his own base because his dream
