Season Two: Exile

Previous || Table of Contents || Next

Now Tommy's really getting unmotivated. After their daily ritual of destroying all of Tommy's things, Tommy mostly follows Dream around like a lost puppy. Sometimes Dream cheers Tommy up, like that time he gave Tommy his riptide trident for Tommy to play around with in the ocean, but there's always remarks about how Dream is Tommy's only friend and Dream is looking out for Tommy. That's why he goes through so much trouble visiting him everyday. He even lets Tommy keep some of his stuff from time to time instead of blowing it up like normal. Their friends.

Tommy's third exile skin. His usually bright head of hair is now off-colored, dirty, and long. His eyes are more grey than blue, and the bags under his eyes are very pronounced. His clothes are absolutely tattered, barely hanging onto his body. Somehow, Tommy has lost one of his shoes.

Dream allows Tommy trips to the nether when he's there. Tommy traces the path along bridge he's made between his Logstedshire portal and the main nether portal. Maybe people aren't coming to visit because it's still not a safe pathway. He beefs up the path by making it wider and adding arrows that point to the Logstedshire portal.

At one point, Tommy bridges out from one of the structures and looks down into the pool of bright orange lava below. It's so bright and alluring that it overpowers the light Tommy has on for his webcam, casting his face orange in the glow.

Dream notices what Tommy's doing and nudges him back to a safer place.

"No, Tommy. It's not your time to die."

"It's never my time to die."

This is a screenshot from Tommy's stream. He stands on a single oak log over a lake of lava in the nether. He stares straight down at the lava pool tens of meters below him. His face cam shows him to be disintrested and bored.

Eventually, Tommy gets so fed up with how he's living his life that he begins to stockpile resources that Dream won't destroy. He hides them in a small room underneath the Logstedshire camp and Ghostbur's house. Dream will never find them there.

This is a compilation of different drawings of Tommy in exile. In all of the drawings, he wears a red beanie, the Your Tubbo compass around his neck, and Wilbur's trenchcoat from Pogtopia in addition to his exile clothes and scuff marks. The farthest on the left is a drawing of Tommy sitting down with a leg pulled to his chest looking at the Your Tubbo compass. The top middle drawing shows Tommy scoffing, looking off to the side and saying Not that Tubbo cares. The bottom middle drawing shows Tommy looking angry but submissive as a black text box says Put your stuff in the pit, Tommy. The far right drawing shows Tommy lying down trying to get to sleep but unable to, worried and stressed out.
