friends with you by the scary jokes could save c!clingyduo i think (real)
the overall tone of the song on its own is so... it’s loneliness, longing, the feeling of i miss you and you miss me but we cant say that in the light, the feeling of we've always fit together like puzzle pieces and i know i can always come back to you but every time i think about it im so fucking scared to find we've finally pushed too far beyond repair. 
like that SOUNDS like im talking about clingyduo but that’s genuinely just the song on it’s own. the best part is that given the song’s pov and some of the self blame present throughout it it just... genuinely suits both c!tommy and c!tubbo’s povs ever since things started to get worse
"I miss being friends with you, but what can I do? / What can I do but leave you alone?"
"Here's to you and me / And the crumbling infrastructure no one else can see / The end result of my own reckless impulsivity / Could you spare a sec to talk to me?"
"Why do you pretend you don't know who's to blame?"
“And I can tell you really love me / Can you tell I'm really sorry? / Can you tell I'm really sorry? / Let's just go home"
tubbo and tommy both giving each other space after the disc war finale... not knowing how to process things like exile and assuming the other wouldnt want them around or is better off without them....... the self blame for things like exile or not being a good enough friend, both thinking its entirely their own fault...
the Entire song is literally the both of them trying to live life and cope without the other in it, missing their best friend but not knowing how to reach out and reconnect, not knowing how Not to blame themselves for all the bad things that have happened
and then c!clingyduo reconciliation real because if they literally just. listen they dont even have to Talk im fully convinced if they just sat next to each other a bit one night and showed that bit of trust and vulnerability everything would be okay. the split second they have that confirmation of “he still wants me around” they’d be able to work all the rest out. like they Would trust me guys. this actually happened offstream and had a lot of strong lessons about two people healing separately giving each other healthy space no dependency etc. while still being besties. like trust me.
