Obligatory /rp and /dsmp bc this could go horribly if someone interprets it as me talking abt real life
My Hot Take (tm) is that the only way c!jack and c!tommy will ever be able to reconcile is if tommy has some actual character development. Because without serious change Jack will only be able to heal if he cuts himself off from tommy in some way where he knows they won’t ever interact again. Because when tommy was in jail, he was still on his ‘villain arc’ kinda thing, because there was still a chance he’d get back out. It was only when he thought tommy was dead and gone for good that he actually started trying to move on, wanting to live in snowchester and realising him and Niki were genuine friends and fussing over his fox not having a nametag. Because let’s be completely blunt here, c!jack and c!tommy have a really fucking toxic ‘friendship’. And the March 12th stream makes it very obvious. Tommy spent the entire conversation talking over jack, ignoring everything he said despite jack flat out admitting he tried to murder tommy using his best friend. And when jack was trying to talk over him so that he could be heard, because he never is, he’s always ignored, tommy said “FOR ONCE JUST LISTEN TO ME” as though he isn’t always talking over everyone, as though he hasn’t admitted to seeing himself as the ‘main character’ of the server, as though he’s ever actually stopped and really listened to anyone else, as though he hadn’t just called jack selfish for... being upset over the way he’s treated by someone he thought was his friend, as though he hadn’t just dismissed him bc ‘you’re jack manifold’ and that means his feelings really don’t matter. And tommy acts as though jack celebrated his death, even though he... really wasn’t. The only people celebrating were the egg guys, who were possessed. And that conversation was what sent Jack back into his self-destructive spiral of letting himself be consumed by rage.
Please just send him off to live with Foolish or HBomb or Niki so he can actually work past his issues instead of having his hate constantly be justified and reaffirmed because that’s not a good mentality to have.
