Bedrock and Betrayal: The Tommyinnit - Technoblade Parallel | A Dream SMP Video Essay
Technoblade and Tommyinnit: Two of the most beloved (and controversial) characters to ever grace the glorious Minecraft-hamilton-block-roleplay stage that is the Dream SMP. Often at odds, they're considered by many to be complete opposites. But are they really all that different?
Let's find out.
Back around January or February, directly after the events of the Doomsday war on the Dream SMP, I wrote a short (or so I thought) video essay script comparing the characters of Tommyinnit and Technoblade. Actually making it was a lot easier said then done considering I have next to zero video editing experience, but here I am, four months too late and six steps behind, with my take on the character...

Stitched together a few of my favourite scenes and quotes from ATLA into a little edit/tribute type thing. This show is incredibly important to me and I wanted to make something to capture a tiny pocket of its beauty. :) (yes i know the Aang quote is technically from The Legend of Korra but it fit so well)

You know what they call me? They call me the soup man. Why? Because I'm at soup Original video, check it out!- ruclips.net/video/0u4OBrru-HI/видео.html huge credit to Sad-ist for making this MCYT DreamSMP animation, and also to tommyinnit and tubbo for attending soup. I hope tommy got his clothes. maybe that's why he's always in that red shirt. tomato soup. who knows? i sure don't.

    Wilbur himself resigned as president and declared Schlatt the victor in the election, so there's really no case that he was the rightful leader of Manberg. If pooling votes was against the law, then Wilbur wouldn't have consented to it. Even if Wilbur was the rightful leader, he doesn't have the right to hand off the title to Tommy or Tubbo after reinstating himself. Normally after a democratic revolution you have new elections, but they never did that, so when Techno says their war amounted to a hostile coup, he is literally correct. Techno also never hid his agenda during the war, he was always an anarchist and worked with them in order to take down Schlatt. He even went so far as to influence Wilbur, who stated when he refused the presidency at the end of the war that he didn't believe in government anymore. So in the end two out of three founders of Pogtopia were opposed to reestablishing a government. The Pogtopia arrangement was clearly a matter of interests aligning in opposition to Schlatt. It wasn't a matter of personal loyalty and friendship really, just necessity. So betrayal there was really a matter of "betraying" Pogtopia's goals in the war - which were what? This is stated in different ways throughout the arc, and as I mentioned, 2/3 of the founders ended the war as anarchists, making Tommy the odd one out, not Techno. So the break down in the alliance there is just a matter interests diverging after they brought down Schlatt. While there may be bad blood, neither side "betrayed" the other because the immediate goal was attained. Compare this to Tommy and Techno's alliance later on. Both are exiled from L'manberg, but you can't really say their interests align. Techno's immediate goal is to commit terrorism on L'.manberg. Tommy's immediate problem is that Dream is torturing him, and he needs to hide with Techno to escape Dream. It's not like Techno needs Tommy to blow up L'manberg. Indeed, he runs a great risk of making Dream an enemy by siding with Tommy. And Tommy's secondary goal, retrieving his disk, doesn't matter to Techno either. So really their interests don't align at all. Tommy is way more trouble than he's worth, but Techno accepts him in his home anyways. By the end of their alliance, Techno demonstrated intense loyalty to Tommy, ultimately standing up to Dream and the entire server in order to protect him. Tommy on the other hand, turned his back on Techno at that very moment. For him, his alliance to Techno was just a matter of necessity, the same way the original alliance was, and once interests divurged, once he gave up on the disks and rejoined L'manberg, he no longer felt any obligation towards Techno. This is the reasons why it's not accurate to say that Tommy is an idealistic or stubborn person because he is actually quite wishy washy about his priorities. Does he want to disks or not? Does he care about L'manberg or not? One moment he is taking hostages and spawning withers in the center of town, the next he joins their side against Techno. One moment he is fighting Tubbo in the community house, the next they are back to being friends. One moment, he is desperately trying to get his disks back, then he lets them fall into Dream's hands. This is his main difference from Techno. Techno surrendered himself to save a horse. He would fight 10 to 1, 20 to 1, or 30 to 1 odds to uphold a promise he has made. The other fundamental difference is that Tommy is not nearly as vengeful as Techno. Techno's intitial attack on L'manberg wasn't so much because it was undemocratic, but because it used him to establish a government, which is the last thing he wanted. Like I said, it's not really a betrayal, because no one ever promise Techno they wouldn't establish a government. More than anything, it was just offensive to him, and he lashed out. Tommy has never done anything quite like that, and after participating in Techno's 'minor' attacks on L'manberg it's clear that he felt bad about it, and that's what motivated his return to L'manberg even though they were the ones who threw him out. Once Techno believes he has been mistreated he has no sense of proportionality in dealing out punishment. Tommy on the other had rarely goes in for revenge. He is not among the various characters who seek out retirbution all the time such as Quackity. We should remember that even after Techno blew up L'manberg, Tommy was the one who wanted to try and team up with him against Dream just prior to being exiled. He also forgives Tubbo for exiling him and has shown remarkably little hatred toward Techno too, despite the fact that L'manburg is only a crater now.

    Although this is a very well put together video, I do feel like Techno got the short end of the stick, being hunted and all. Even was threatened that if he didn't go, Carl would die. He wasn't given a fair trial, so he immediately sentenced for execution. Tommy, he was only sentenced to exile. Just saiyan, Techno was kind of justified in his beliefs here.

      Techno regular instills a victim complex into himself and by extension his viewers. He has valid justification for many of his points but there are some glaring issues. Techno claims that he was peer-pressured into kill tubbo, sure this makes sense, but it doesn't excuse his bloodlust rage he went on afterwards, nearly killing all of the attendees of the Manburg festival. Idk just something to think about.

    This video is really good and it’s quite interesting to watch how their relationship progressed and still progressing despite to the fact that there were no interactions between c!tommy and c!techno for months. Especially with c!Tommy’s acknowledgement that he betrayed Techno (he mentioned it on his Las Nevadas streams) and ‘Techno is in prison? No, I am not going there….. But it’s Techno though, he is sorta like family, you know”. Wonder how it will play out in the future.

    I think that a fundamental difference between the two is that techno flat out told Tommy that he was going to destroy lmanberg, allowing Tommy to realize that he was going against his beliefs, while pogtopia kind of had this maybe/maybe not thing going, meaning it took dream’s goading for technoblade to fully understand just what was happening. Also if you look in the clip, techno sees Wilbur going to the button, so he knows that (in his views, maybe influenced by the victim thing) Wilbur is “on his side”

    I feel like Techno is more justifiable, as Tommy and pretty much everyone else from the start, except Phil, only really saw Techno as a weapon, a TOOL for chaos and destruction that they could use to their advantage, treating not only Techno's ideals as an anarchist but humanity, as if non-existent. Techno believes not in government, but he does believe in friends, family, and relationships at a level deeper than Tommy, because he does not feel an immature need for power or government to sustain the state of his relationships. Tommy's relationship and friendship with Tubbo in the story so far has been centered around Tommy's previous immature, selfish need for power and wealth, by showing off and keeping his disks. Dream fell into the rabbit hole of chaos as a response to call upon violence against the chaos that Tommy insued. Everything is around not Tommy, but his relationship between Tubbo and Dream, and how that reflects onto Techno's moral code and sense of self.
