(tw for implied attempted suicide under cut)

December 15

It was on this day that c!Tommy built this tower

and planed on ending it

-----

Icarus tried to fly Instead he fell to his death He flew too close to the sun And his wing melted

Icarus tried to escape Instead he plummeted into the sea We see this as a tragedy He never escaped his prison But what if this is what he intended? He flew, and escaped by dying

How high were you if you watched tommys exile streams and thought dream was right?

Dream: Wait. . . Am I a stripper now? Is that canon?

Hc that c!tommy got sunburn while waiting for people to come to his beach party during exile, he litteraly sat in the sun for hours and he is pale as fuck you know it happened

aint no way that boy had sunscreen at exile

I cannot stop thinking about that Wilbur lore stream. I have so many thoughts I can’t even begin to filter them. It has consumed all of my thoughts. I’ve never felt so validated that my read of c!wilbur is right. Absolutely devastating. Showstopping. Incredible. Fantastic acting on both of their parts. The way that Wilbur did what had to be done, he provided closure, he ended the chase of the discs but he also knew what they meant to tommy. And he wouldn’t destroy the actual ones like he might have before. He’s freed Tommy but not at the cost of his own happiness. It’s confirmed what I already knew to be true, that the two of them would give up everything for each other. He’s so smart. The way he clearly wants to physically destroy dream over and over but he knows he can’t, he doesn’t have the ability to do that and so he uses his brain. He calls dreams bluff. He uses his ability to sense those weakness’s in others to HELP tommy. And he got some closure for himself too. They’re both free. This stream is unparalleled. Unmatched. Wilbur has such an incredible understanding of the heart and passion that drew everyone into the story In the first place and he proves it everytime he plans out lore. And the way it happened just after fundy too? Wilbur who just lost his son who jumped off a bridge to get away from him, hearing his baby brother say it out loud. The impact of tommy actually saying it. Not hinted, not implied. Of him admitting “this is where I went to kill myself.” The exile arc is full of subtle mentions of it might be the end soon, or I don’t know how much longer I can do this. But this is the first time tommy says it. And hearing him say it out loud makes it hit so much harder. The way he’s finally honest, not joining around or moving past things. The authenticity in his voice on the “until i broke”. The way you can see the look on Wilbur’s face when he realizes. The way Tommy still thinks finding Dream is a distraction from fundy when wilbur is so clearly doing it all for him. The fucking anguish when he gives the discs to dream and wilbur makes him burn them. “You betrayed me AGAIN.” The silence when tommy realizes the truth of what wilbur has done. How he’s managed to free them both from dreams control, how he has no power over either of them anymore. Wilbur did what no one else ever could. And when he thought he’d lost it all again, made a huge mistake, been betrayed one more time. You can see him blaming himself for trusting wilbur again. And then he realizes that for once, someone stayed by his side. Didn’t betray him. Didn’t leave him. Solved his problem, and was worthy of his trust. They love each other so fucking much. The way Tommy instantly goes to shield wilbur in the prison. That urge to protect and take care of him the same way wilbur always does for tommy. God they’re so special and perfect I could go on for hours

My first animatic!! I heard this song and thought it fit will with that one part in exile :) enjoy!!

SPOILERS FOR WILL'S LORE STREAM "Inconsolable Differences"

Tommy talks about the tower. "He hurt you with it... did he like watch you?" "Every day dream would come while I was on my holi- MY EXILE and every single day Dream would come here and he would erase my progress. He would erase quite frankly any will to live that I used to have; and every day I would think maybe things would get better, may-maybe there would be hope, maybe people would show up at the party. Maybe. Maybe Ghostbur would start seeing me again. And every day a little bit of that hope left, and left, and left, til I broke. This tower... is where I went to kill myself."
