"You get your Fresh Start, and I get to tick off some inklings. Deal?"
"Deal."
"You're sure about this?"
"Positive."
I bet theyre still bffs theyre both just annoying enough to still get along. Like when you meet an old coworker that is just how youre gonna act when you get older.
friendly reminder to all the dream stans still shooting for him: you don't know him. it's that simple.
it's extremely telling that tommy is being defended by all his old friends, current friends, editors, people he's worked with, family, fans, etc., meanwhile in dream's case, not even his best friends are coming to his defense. sapnap tuned into tubbo's stream, and both him and george have been radio silent throughout this whole thing.
the only people rushing to dream's defense and excusing his absolutely deplorable behaviour at this point are the fans. the fans who don't know him, who haven't worked with him or seen him behind the scenes.
he's manipulated you into going to bat for him, even if you don't know him. meanwhile, the people who do know him, who have worked with him and experienced him behind the scenes, are trying to tell you the truth about him.
this is not just "tommy doesn't like dream so he's spreading lies". this is everybody who knows dream, coming forward with their experiences and holding him accountable, and the only people who aren't willing to accept it are the fans who don't know him.
he is manipulating you.
While I get people's desire to draw parallels within the final four of Secret Life, I really feel like a lot of fanon attempts to juxtapose Gem killing Scott with Scar sparing Pearl are unfair to either Gem or Scott.
I see people imply that either Scott or Gem did something wrong in some way- either Scott unfairly pressured Gem into killing him or Gem devalued her ally by agreeing- and attribute this as the reason they lost in the end while Scar and Pearl- Pearl being 'less pushy' and Scar 'caring more' about his allies- won. The thesis seems to be that Gem made the 'wrong' choice, Scar made the 'right' one, and that's why Scar won over Gem.
Which. No.
The truth is that there was no 'choice' to be made.
At the point where Gem killed Scott, both Pearl and Scar individually had more hearts than Gem and Scott did combined (this is not an exaggeration. gem had 6 hearts, scott had 2.5, pearl had 15, and scar had 17), Scott was an easy one-shot for whoever took the first swing at him, and he had no way to regenerate health at that point. Scar chose to spare Pearl, yes, but Gem didn't "choose" to kill Scott, there was no real choice in the matter. Scott was, practically, already dead, and Gem was close enough if she didn't take the final swing (honestly, even the hearts from scott probably never would have been enough to save her).
I've said this before, but I genuinely believe that Gem and The Scotts were doomed, probably starting from the fight with Grian (who took a frankly shocking amount of health from them all things considered). That fight just spread them too thin, took too much of their health. Impulse died shortly after, and what health Gem and Scott did have was whittled away fighting a team twice their size. Gem and The Scotts were a powerful and competent team with ample resources, but they took a hit the mechanics of the game wouldn't let them recover from, and everything from that point was them desperately fighting against the odds trying to get one of them to the end, even if they must have known how bleak those odds were.
People have called it poetic. 'Gem lost because she didn't value her ally enough, Gem ironically died to a 2v1 after killing the one who would have fought beside her, funny that she's so bitter about the 2v1 when she 'chose' to kill her teammate while Scott didn't, etc. '
And it drives me insane because Gem didn't choose to kill Scott out of some callous desire for an advantage, Gem killed Scott because the latter half of their finale was a slow steadily worsening case study in helplessness and Scott gave Gem everything as an act of love, in the desperate hope that she could find a way despite the odds, (only for it all to be wasted, because it was two against one, and they didn't give gem the chance, and of course that left her bitter)
I'm just so insane about this.
a silly little limited life Scott with new markers, hope you like it

Grian three-ish years ago: hey Ren meet my friend Martyn. he plays fortnite
Ren a couple days ago: Martyn, I cannot bear to think of a universe where our souls are not tied. We're the earth and the moon, pulled into continual and unceasing orbit to one another. In your absence I become a lesser man. I will destroy the fabric of the world to bring you along with me, ignore the rules of the game. You will carry my banner, I will carry your soul.
Grian a couple days ago: hey what the hell
