warnings ;; mentions of getting beaten, fear of getting sick, mentions of throwing up, mentions of almost drowning, mentions of henry's "untimely demise" (d3ath)
would always have a pencil behind his ear
carries around a tattered sketchbook overflowing with things he's collected over the years : pressed flowers from ranboo, drawings of penises on the inside of the cover (courtesy of tubbo), a leaf that fundy had found while out on a walk and thought was cool, pictures from the early l'manburg days, ideas for the l'manburg flag, vent rants, detailed drawings of people he's met and places he's been, sketches from exile (he sacrificed his life for that journal—he wouldn't let dream take his last remaining picture of wilbur), and little globs of blue that stained the pages due to ghostbur hovering over him while he was doodling.
i feel like he would be afraid of getting sick due to exile—dream would constantly beat him to the point where he was throwing up the little bit of meat he'd been able to scrounge that morning, and his sinuses were constantly clogged due to waking up in the ocean several times a month. he could never get the water out.
y'know how in all of those foster fic au's where tommy's always got henry and/or shroud as a stuffed animal? i think that after henry's untimely demise, tommy would beg niki to make a small replica of henry. but how could she say no when the tears that trickled down his face glistened in the sunlight reminded her that tommy never allowed anyone to see him cry?
he may not like to admit it, but when he wakes up in the middle of the night gasping for air and pleading with the wall to never touch him and to not burn his stuff, he runs to ranboo. he pretends he doesn't get along with him, when really, the enderman hybrid gives the best hugs. besides, tommy doesn't think that he could wake tubbo up anyway.
he thinks back to the good ol days, when wilbur taught him and fundy to make flower crowns out in the middle of an open field. niki would laugh at tubbo's excitement to see the bees, the basket she had made hanging off of her arms, overflowing with flowers. eret would smile and adjust tommy's fumbling hands gently, milky eyes peering up at him from behind their sunglasses as she nimbly twisted and turned the stems. tommy would fall asleep to wilbur's humming and niki's warm hands carding through his hair.

If there's something I love is seeing how people draw c!Tommy. Especially about his age.
Some people draw him with more childlike features. He looks younger, more "helpless" in a way. You can really see it's a child soldier. Someone who is not ready in any way to be in those situations, but is there anyway with a confident face and a loud voice. It's very visible he should not be there and how wrong it all is.
But other people draw him looking a bit older, looking more like someone who's soon to become an adult. In a way he looks less innocent, even when he's still the victim. He resembles Wilbur a bit more, and he doesn't look as helpless when next to Dream. But here's the thing, he's still a child soldier. He might act like he knows what he's doing, use big words, and act all powerful. And it's not that visible how wrong it all is, but it's still there.
You'll look at him and see this seventeen-ish years old guy, and, in a first glance, it won't feel as wrong. But when you really look at him, that's when you notice how vulnerable Tommy is. Surrounded by people who are more mature, more powerful, and who hate his guts. And you'll start to notice how easily influenced he can be, which seems unlikely for someone who always expresses what he thinks. And you'll start to notice he was never as ready as he says he was. And you'll start to notice how most of the messes he got himself into had completely disproportional consequences to him.
And after all of that, you'll look at him again, and maybe he even looks a bit older, but you can still see it. The child behind the loud voice and the bright smile, holding a sword that is just his size, but will always feel a bit too big for him.

I'm not going to watch tommy showing techno's dad around the server, because I just haven't been able to handle those sorts of videos emotionally. But Like.
realistically did any of you expect tommy to look at technoblade's dad and tell him how objectively wrong his son's roleplay character was?
getting mad that tommy framed techno's character in a more heroic light to Literally His Dad is. a bit ridiculous.
techno's dad doesn't need to hear about the complexities of the community house green festival scene, he's trying to honor the memory of his son.
