Pls I need ur c!Tommy takes ur the only one I trust to like him without reducing him to someone who has no narrative agency outside of being a victim

THANK YOU <33 this post is probably messy because half of it was copied directly from Fey-posting on twt but here’s a perhaps controversial take about c!tommy + being seventeen !!

because i see a lot of people either de-ageing him (making him seem 12/13) or acting as if he’s older than 17 / as if his age doesn’t matter. i think both are interesting because in my mind ? c!tommy is the EPITOME of a mentally ill / traumatised seventeen year old. his age plays such a huge part in why he acts Like That lol.

just like c!wilbur’s age sort of ,, puts him in the mindset of governance and the naive belief that “others are corrupted by power, not me though, i’m mature / old enough to handle the responsibility well”, and just like c!dream being twenty is so representative of the twenty-year-old belief of “i can change the world MY way, it’s my responsibility, i alone can carry and change the world” — c!tommy’s worldview is SO indicative of his age.

everything about canon c!tommy reminds me of being sixteen/seventeen and struggling with unsavoury truths along with the horror of trauma — that teenager feeling of the whole world being against you, desperately looking for an older figure to look up to but being viciously independent at the same time, being destroyed when said older figure turns out not to be as good as you thought they were ,,, c!tommy idolises c!wilbur to an unhealthy amount, to the point when he realises how bad c!wilbur is for him, he still struggles to abandon him. there’s something about realising your older brother / role model / person you’ve hero-worshipped for years and wanted to be just like is Shitty that reminds me of being sixteen and realising that the older adults in your life aren’t as infallible as you thought.

being seventeen and believing that you can change the whole world while also hating the world for taking your childhood/enjoyment away from you, that black and white morality because anything else makes your life/trauma so much harder to deal with ,, maybe i just knew too many people at seventeen with this kind of trauma but c!tommy reminds me SO much of me when i was a few years younger ? same world view, same struggle between believing you can change everything and the ‘i’m just sixteen, why the fuck should i’ mentality.

that sort of struggle when everything is falling apart around you, and you want to be the one holding yourself together so you do stupid, childish things (grief, steal, just like you used to when you were happy / free to be a kid) but you also sort of resent people for making you want to be the strong one.

everything about c!tommy screams ‘seventeen’ — a young adult, becoming disillusioned to the world around him, desperately trying to avoid realising black-and-white morality isn’t so black-and-white at all, trying to shoulder the world but wishing you could rewind time to be unburdened by the changing people / world around you.

he’s definitely not a ‘kid’ (12/13), and i still wouldn’t class exile as child abuse, because the dynamic there was different, but it also doesn’t feel right to completely disregard the fact that c!tommy is still ,, seventeen. sixteen, at the time when most of his major arcs were happening. his relationship with c!wilbur, his obsession over the disks, his trauma, the way he views morality + evil, his selflessness vs self centred view of conflict ,, all of it screams ‘teenager’.

he’s just a teenager who was thrust very suddenly into a game of war + politics that escalated way out of his understanding, and he’s still trying to make sense of it all. he doesn’t have all the puzzle pieces and for the first time he’s really aware of that fact, and he’s realised the people he looks up to don’t have all the pieces either. c!tommy is loud mouthed and crude because teenagers often are — but in the same way, teenagers are often just beginning to understand how fucked-up the world can be, and i think c!tommy’s arcs with the revival + las nevadas + wilbur’s short story show him on this journey.

Dream SMP time travel fix it but the looper (probably Karl) just gets so frustrated at failing so often that for one loop he makes it his mission to make George show up to things, somehow, this is all they had needed to do.

So all those sci-fi guns that delete dna and turn the victim into a giant pile of goo is bullshit?! Outraged.

Curious how the breakdown of nuclear protein synthesis would affect things?

Hypothetically how long would the human body survive if it suddenly lost all it's DNA?

I'm talking just your DNA, leaving behind RNA and nucleotide based compounds, (though if anyone has the answer of how long it would be if you lost all your ATCG's as well that would also be greatly appreciated!)
