We Do Whats Best For The Nationprioritize The Nation

“We do what’s best for the nation” “prioritize the nation”

... Yaaaaaa either they come to some type of agreement with Dream or Tommy is officially out XD

In Dream’s defense, if I had a wedding and AFTER the objections my best friend shouted “OBJECTION!!!!!” way too late, then gave me a chicken, pulled me behind a pillar and the kissed me…

I’d freak out too! My fight or flight instic would activate and I would just yeet myself out of this uncomfortable situation.

people are really shaming tubbo apologists on twt rn

tubbo’s just a kid left to run an entire nation where everyone he allowed into the cabinet constantly undermines, ignores, laughs at, or reprimands his every decision. tubbo is just a kid who was pulled into a high position of authority with no help, no pointers and no guide.

all tubbo ever wanted was peace. he never wanted wars or conflict or exile. he wanted new l’manberg to be their new beginning. he wanted to be able to run the nation alongside his best friends and create a place that would bring honor to wilbur’s name and bring happiness to its residents.

but in an instant his cabinet mates are willing to turn on him, to yell and scream and lecture and question his authority. no one respects tubbo because he’s a kid, a kid who just wants to live a normal life with tommy, his best friend, but can’t because tommy needs to get back his discs, and will do whatever it takes to do so. even tarnish the name of new l’manberg forever just to get a chance at holding them as his own once more.

and now tubbo’s painted as the bad guy, the “new jschlatt” all because he’s a misguided child who has strong morals and goals but can never be taken seriously because everyone thinks he’s incapable of getting the job done right.

he exiled tommy because he knew that they couldn’t win against dream. even if they got techno involved, dream and techno together could manage to burn l’manberg to the ground. techno still can’t be trusted, and dream is too strong for them to fight. tubbo knew that exiling tommy was the only way to ensure l’manberg’s safety as well as tommy’s. but as with every decision tubbo makes, he gets reprimanded and shamed and shouted at.

so yes, i’m a tubbo apologist because he’s a fucking sixteen year old running a country with no prior knowledge of how to do that, no aid or help in figuring out the ins and outs of being a president. he still cares about tommy, of course, he couldn’t just stop caring about his best fucking friend.

but i’m also a tommy apologist, which people seem to advocate for more, probably because tommy is supposed to be our protagonist, the one whose always fighting for the right cause, no matter how insane it might seem.

tommy is a child too, a child brought up during war times, raised with the idea that anything is okay during war, murder, arson, robbery. he was raised in anarchy.

tommy’s fought so many battles and yet he’s still so young. he knows the horrors of war as much as some of the oldest members of the server. he’s seen it all, literally.

tommy watched his older brother die at the hands of his father. he had his own eldest brother turn on him and threaten to kill him for being a hero. he’s had his best friend exile him with little (shown) remorse. he’s forced to coexist with the ghost of his deceased brother who barely remembers the things he had done when he was alive.

through it all, tommy keeps fighting, because that’s all he’s ever known. he survived wars and betrayals and losses and victories. he flourishes in the chaos, and goes mad during the calm. that’s why he cannot bear the times after war, when new nations are supposed to bud and blossom and grow. because he’s only know destruction and conflict, so he makes up for it by griefing houses and public buildings, creating tension between nations and causing problems that his friends get tied into resolving.

he’s a sixteen year old boy, raised through war and tyranny. a sixteen year old boy who has been exiled twice, assumed a traitor by his best friend, mocked and punished and hurt by those he loves. tommy is a fucking child who just wants to be happy for once in his goddamn life, and he thoroughly believes this can be achieved by getting back his discs. so that’s all he wants, and will stop at nothing to win them back.

FWT WEDDING SPOILERS WITH NO CONTEXT

Okay! I know I’m not big on here but, before anyone on the SMP streams, allow me to remind a few groups of people:

Do not attack Tubbo if he does exile Tommy and don’t send hate towards anyone involved, they are just roleplaying. If you do you attack them, you will lose your knee caps privileges :)

Thank you for reading my fandom service announcement, and remember: make promises, not threats :)

Okay, okay, it took me a good two hours to figure out what the hell Tubbo was up to with his Arc, but I guess I finally got it.

First, he is still angry with Tommy for putting everyone in L'manburg at danger and avoiding any responsibility. Tommy lied, denied everything, twisted the facts, and finally made a terrible non-apology. He was one hundred percent himself when everyone asked him to be literally anything else.

Second: "The only thing I care about" hit way too hard. Let's add "I never wanted you for president" and we will get a recipe for model communication problems.

Third and most importantly: Tommy's exile was a show of power. Not for Dream - for L'manburg. Primarily for Fundy and Quackity.

Tubbo is well-liked, kind, helpful and always there when he is needed, but not respected as president. People ask him for his opinion, then ignore it completely, shout him over and take advantage of every moment of his hesitation.

Tommy, by contrast, despite being labeled "loud stupid child", has a lot of charisma and people want to follow him, even if his plan is stupid (Third and a half: his plan was stupid.). Quackity and Fundy may have been furious with him, but they joined him almost immediately after he started blackmailing Dream, leaving Tubbo alone.

Tommy's a good VP. But only if he has someone who can control him and keep him in check.

I think Tubbo finally realized he didn't have that power. They balance perfectly as friends but not as leaders, and as long as Tommy is around, Tubbo will always be in his shadow, even with a higher rank.

Tubbo isn't next Schlatt. He's trying his best and he actually care about L'manburg. To the point, that he chooses it over his friend. And we may consider it morally wrong from the perspective of ordinary people, but that's exactly what leaders should do.

Tl; dr: Tommy's exile was the only way L'manburg would finally have a good leader.

Can I understand Tubbo? Yes.

Do I agree with him? Fuck no, I'm Tommy's apologist and I feel VERY betrayed right now!
