In All Seriousness Though, Fantastic Acting And Script Writing On Everyones Part. Tubbo And Tommys Acting

In all seriousness though, fantastic acting and script writing on everyone’s part. Tubbo and Tommy’s acting was epic and thanks to the amazing script a lot of people were convinced Tubbo would go through with war. Really that was fucking amazing!

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!

one day im going to animate techno’s theseus speech, but as techno retells it im going to include the fact that theseus kidnapped a child and tried to kidnap a goddess and abandoned his wife so athens exiled him. like, there’ll be a pause and the music will continue and those scenes will show up, and then techno’s speech will continue because like

i know that techno is a good bloke who isn’t obessed with greek mythology, but theseus’ tale was a cautionary tale about hubris - most greek heroes are stories about good people who get too cocky and fall because of arrogance - he’s meant to be sympathetic to an ancient auidence, not a modern one.

this probably doesnt make sense im tired

Soooooo... I just watched “I Married Dream... ”

GEORGE WHAT THE FU-?!

tubbo did absolutely nothing wrong: an essay

ok so during the original exile stream (especially tommy's), the chat was first very hyped about tommy's idea of going to war, temporarily forming an alliance with the Blade. and when he got exiled by tubbo, the chat was so furious that some even went "cancel tubbo the traitor".

while i do understand some of the chat's reactions were only in response to the storyline, i still wanna discuss about tubbo's position here.

it's almost if he's the villain here, even on twitter he tweeted "i'm not the villain" or smth like that, albeit an extension of his character outside of the game.

but people who genuinely think him to be a traitor fail to understand that, as a political representative of the state of l'manberg, it would be so incredily irresponsible and stupid to prioritize tommy over l'manberg. under the threat of a man who had enough resources and allies to gather up 8 stacks of obsidion to surround your country, how would it be a wise move to retalliate against him and gO tO wAr when everything in your country was at stake?

if we explore the war option, we could see just how naive and idealistic it is. in terms of firepower and military stregth, no offence to any l'manbergians, they dont have shit. the president doesn't even have armor. yes they could summon the Blade, but why exactly would the Blade help a government only to make another enemy, arguably the most powerful one on the server, may I ask?

tommy's "let's go to war" is nothing but further proof that he is too immature and cocky to be in a position such as the vp of l'manberg. he has no strategy, no good plan to either l'manberg's agenda, or his own disc agenda. if he wanted to succeed in getting his discs back, he needed a good and viable plan to restle with the green man, and play his mindgames, without real attachments to anyone or anything (or at least dont show them) much like the green man himself.

tubbo, was simply being a just, mature, rational president. unlike tommy, he learned to think of the big picture. i'd dare to argue that exiling tommy hurt him as much as it did tommy. it was unfair to compare him with JSchlatt, the reasons being clear enough for anyone to see: 1. tommy and wilbur's exile under schlatt was due to schlatt's wish to rid of his political opponents, an act of dictatorship and tyranny---limiting free speech and therefore any democracy. 2. tommy's exile under tubbo was due to tommy's own doing---burning down george's house. it was a mere consequence of his own action, though implemented with malice on dream's side. however, if tommy hadn't continue to aggrevate dream by being plain stupid, exilation was the outcome that could have been so easily avoided, thanks to tubbo's exellent negotiation with dream prior to tommy's mistake.

in essence, tubbo is one of the best l'manberg president as of yet, though that's not saying much. but this has clearly taken a toll on the character's emotional well-being. i wish he could grow his country steadily and quietly, gear up, get good, and one day fight back against that green man. but today's clearly not the day.

WOOOOOOO!!!

I KNEW TUBBO WOULD MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!

TUBBO MAKES A STAND FOR HIMSELF!

(Also please keep in mind they are just acting and to not hate on Tubbo.)
