Tommy is stuck with Dream | Dream SMP Animatic 

WELL- GUESS IM SPEEDRUNNING A NEW ANIMATIC WTF DREAM WTF TOMMY

The strings trying to wrap their way around Tommy is quite uncomfortable, and highly concerning.

I never noticed how the part where he says “Please can I go home” sounds like when he asked Dream if he could go home in exile until now, that made me cry man, it’s terrible

Alright I don't know if anyone else notices how meaningful the "do you have any more potatoes" is at the end. It shows how Dream still has control over Tommy, and was able to convince him to calm down. Keep in mind in the cell, Dream has the food, so he could use that to his advantage of getting Tommy to rely on him more and more. Just an interesting thought. /dsmp/rp

He sounds so freaking smug when he says "He's dealing with a security issue...you could be stuck in here for a little bit"

The idea that Tommy probbaly did slide down and curl up on the floor and Dream just sits next to him like he didn't destroy and ruin his past is just upsetting to see. But I love this animatic :D Keep up the good work!!

The way his voice shakes and when he screamed "phil!" that's when the tears starts falling.;-;

I was rooting for Tommy because he was doing so well! But of course the poor kid doesn't get nice things

Love the green string effect so much and how Tommy’s eyes would turn blue when he got mad just amazing

Oo. I absolutely love this! The little flashbacks during the TNT was absolutely stunning. Your little details are absolutely amazing. When he pulled Dream's chain, the proper feeling of fear on Tommy's face, the electric green smile of Dream's demented self. The flashback when he said he wanted to go home. I absolutely love the scene where you had him slide to the ground, and his signifying giving up by asking Dream for potatoes. Absolutely chilled man. An all around amazing animatic!

I love how you kept showing how Dream was trying to put his strings back on Tommy, shows the metaphor of Dream's ability to really manipulate people

holy shit, this is incredible. Tommy backing into a corner when the TNT goes off, the fucking flashbacks, oh my GOD. EDIT: Dream pushing Tommy’s head down at then end. Jfc i’m freakin out this is so- just- incredible.

At the end when dream put his hand on Tommy's head and kinda pushed it back down my heart shattered into a million pieces.

The flashbacks to the TNT, the signs of previous abuse, the pained emotion on Tommy's face, the creepy little strings trying to wrap around him, this was really well done and now I'm even more terrified then I was before!

Even when Tommy is more free than Dream, Dream is still able to manipulate Tommy in under 10 minutes… that’s scary

I feel like people forget that in Tommy’s exile... it was only a week long... How long is Tommy trapped with Dream? A week.... Oh Lord, I am scared...

"I've changed." A week later: Tommyinnit was slain by Dream.

He kept knocking off the strings!

Ohhhhhhhh boy those were some chills I got right there...! Let's see, my favourite moments: 1:00 ...........chills 2:03 The blue of Tommy's eyes really added to the figurative punch of those two words, seriously 2:59 I LOVE the way Tommy's anger is drawn here as he snaps and yells at Dream - from him smacking Dream away when Dream mentioned exile, to him grabbing Dream's shackles to yell in his face, I LOVE IT. There's a kind of desperation in his furious actions, a frantic scrambling for some kind of control over the situation, and gosh... My heart... 4:05 I don't know why, but Tommy's eyes dilating here as he begins to accept the hopelessness of the situation... *chef's kiss* Wonderful, I love it, well done... 4:09 "I want to-" "-go home... Please, can I go home..." WELL HECK I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT HEART BREAKING CALL BACK. Holy smokes, you went straight for the figurative jugular on that one... That actually made me gasp... 4:20 This is just... So well done. Dream snapping, Tommy recoiling, Dream reaching for Tommy as Tommy is cornered against the wall and screaming at Dream until Dream grabs his shoulders and tells him exactly what's happening... Tommy's pinprick eyes, looking at the lava until Dream grabs his attention again and moves between him and the lava... Yeah, I don't have much to say except that it's so well done. 5:01 Tommy sliding down the wall and to the ground... You can hear my heart sinking to the depths of my stomach and breaking 5:25 ...........chills

"I've changed." *Stop the cap*

*Tommy:* "You ruined my past, Dream, but you will _not_ ruin my future." *Dream:* "lmao" _(fucking murders him)_

God this animatic is amazing, just the subtle things like Dream shifting himself between Tommy and the lava and that hand on his head, which is both gentle and controlling at the same time. Its all such a great animatic! And then there is this little tidbit that isn't brought up because Dream only mentioned this to Techno, but DREAM DOSEN'T SLEEP! And Tommy is stuck with him for a week and Dream can mess with him while he's a sleep, like he does with Ranboo during his enderwalk. Tommy has no defenses against Dream this time, they've ALL been taken away. He can't run and hide, he doesn't get hours away from him, no one can visit him or send him letters, Ghostbur isn't there to TRY and help him feel better. He's just without any protection against Dream's manipulations, and that just makes the whole thing even more horrifying than Exile.

I've got actually chills going through my bones. The character designs look so simple but I know it takes a lot of work, for some reason I cant make myself draw simple things and it always has to be detailed for me. I love ur stuff and I hope u never quit

I got nothing profound so say Lmao I'm just enjoying how you interrupted their meeting!! If only Sam gave Tommy a get out of jail free card =w=

This is underrated. The attention to detail and the way you were able to project the emotions perfectly. How you portrayed Dreams manipulation and him trying to draw Tommy back in, for example with the strings. It is amazing. These are the quality, deep-planning artists I am looking forwards to seeing thrive. :)

Everyones talking about the strings but whenever c!dream is protrayed as touching Tommy in anyway its freaky af! Wheather its hugging, grabing his shoulder or placing a hand on his head it freaks me out so bad XD

Next thing you know dreams gonna get the poor kid under his spell. Probably gonna try some gaslighting who knows. My favorite part of the animatic btw is just how relentless dreams strings are.

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING Your expressions are poggers!!!!!!

the flashback to tommy in exile wanting to go home holy shit that hurted

"You ruined my past, Dream, but you will not ruin my future" "I was about to be done" Great now I'm literally sobbing

writing tommy to character tommy: can I offer you some unfathomable trauma in this trying time?

God, so cool! I was so excited when I finished watching the stream, mainly, because I love Tommy's and Dream's dynamic! They have one most powerful hitting moments tbh. Something about Dream giving a 16 year old a trauma, PTSD attacks and manipulating him just gives me chills! Amazing work!

I can't express how amaizng this animatic is, the detail, the throwbacks to Tommy's exile, and him screaming out for Phil because he's scared. This animatic is one of my favourites. When Tommy asks if Dream has anymore patatoes you can hear the desperation in his voice and when Tommy says he needs to get out of hear, Dream raises his hand and softly pushes Tommy's head back in between his knees, this shows how slight, how precise Dream knows how to manipulate Tommy. Everything is done amazingly.

Beautifully executed

"I have some potatoes for you?" "I DON'T WANT YOUR POTATOES!"

Dude the stream was so hard to watch, *cries*

“We are gonna have so much fun for a whole week” “It’ll be just like exile” or in other words: “It will be just like the time I manipulated you and kept your loved ones away from you and pretended to be your friend and almost made you commit suicide multiple times”

This is exactly like how I imagined it in my head! OMG! That's insane! And the one clip where he asks to go home, and you quote Exile! Then there were Dream's strings inching closer and closer to Tommy as he's trying to gain control over his little puppet again. And the hopelessness of his expression as he's cornered by the wall. AH, It breaks my heart even more.

My heart broke in pieces when Tommy called for Phil...his father, the only family that he trust and alive( Aside from techno). But of courses he never came. Yo I love dream smp lore!!! I love this animatic, you portrayed tommy panic and emotions so well. I also love how you drew dream, it was so chilling in a good way!!Keep up the amazing work! Also father Phil please be a good father and give your son, tommy some help :D

The chain designs are a good detail, it’s unique

The sad thing about this, is that Tommy was doing so WELL. He was standing up to his abuser and facing him telling him "you can't hurt me anymore. You caused me so much pain and I wont be afraid of you any more. You cant control MY life, you cant make me mess up my own life." He calmly explained to him, that he was in n control, then he literally tried to leave. He was handling it really maturely all things considered.

God that part where Dream puts his hand on Tommy's head gives me chills every time. It's such a delicate reminder of the power he holds over him, even locked in prison. So good man

I just noticed how at the end how Tommy goes from yelling at Dream and being angry to just scared and sad within seconds. AND OH MY GOD with your drawings it made the ending "I can't do this" like 90 times more heart wrenching...

The way dream leans over Tommy and then puts his hand on Tommy head at the end is terrifying. And you animated it so well. It's also hard to believe that Tommy's still technically a kid, after all he been through...

1:56 the fact that he calls for philza makes me sad. He's just a desperate kid pleading for his father or anyone to come save him from this nightmare.

Tommy: "I'm done here" Dream: *head tilt* "forever?"

This is incredible, just the level of detail put into their interactions in the animation. The flashbacks, the strings trying to wrap around Tommy, the use of colour. Incredible

“You will not ruin my future.” *he ended it.*

5:11 honestly tho. If this was under different circumstances and if dream was a different person this COULD be a cute moment, like if techno/Phil/sam nook was there instead of dream

I absolutyly love tommys blue eyes, and how there connected to how hes felling! Gained a sub!

The green strings zeroing in on Tommy are so symbolic, it's a dream slowly weaving his way into your mind, achieving your sympathy.

Ali, Grimmi is giving me pain again with their beautiful art

"You ruined my past, Dream, but you will not ruin my future." "Dream? I was about to be done..." Lines that are making me cry right nowwwww 😢

The size difference is so striking. It really drives home that Timmy is a kid. Than seeing the size difference between Dream and Sam in your other animations makes it clear Dream isn't in charge in there.

It is so sad hearing the utter fear and despair Tommy feels being trapped with the same man that spent his days wanting to destroy him any way he could. Dream was right. Even when he's in the most secure cell of the prison, surrounded by obsidian and lava, he still holds power over Tommy. He holds power over the server

now THIS, this, is the types of animation i LOVE. the ones that send chills down your spine.

Tommy needs somone to protect him this isn't me trying to insult him it's just how he is on the smp dream is just using that to his advantage like any smart god would do techno doesn't need strings because he doesn't operate like that he doesn't do things in secret he tells everyone what he will do.

I got chills when Dream was pushing Tommy’s head down at the end

Dream is so unbelievably manipulative that when he tries convincing tommy I started to actually get convinced he was a friend even though I knew damn well that he wasn't a friend. Masterpiece.

The way he calls for Phil and god... this stream made me hurt... and this animatic is so amazing 😩❤️

he looks ready to rush into that lava because he'd rather die a painful death by trying something he knew would be futile than be stuck with Dream. i can't- excuse me while i cry.

The way you animated this is exactly how I saw it happening- all the expressions and flashbacks were perfect. Tommy and Dream's arcs together hit so hard, he just wants to get away from his abuser :(

lots of people have said this already but this animatic shows dream’s manipulative tendencies so well. from the physical images like the green tendrils to how you drew tommy calming down with dream’s hand on his shoulder i just HFBEJDBDIJDFJC ITS SO GOOD

This whole thing was so well created! The flashbacks and everything made the whole thing way more dramatic then the regular video and now I'm way more concerned for Tommy them before! Great job! This was great!

I always love artist depicting Tommy's trauma and with this like his derealization, panic attack and always tries to stay at a distance from Dream but can't. Also Dream, trying to reattactch his strings to Tommy and always gets closer to succeed with every attempt. And as another person in the comments pointed out, the moments where Dream was touching Tommy, you can sense some possesivness from it. Not gonna lie, it caused a parental instinct to kick in i just wanted to pop into existance, kick Dream in the gut, push him away and then shield Tommy with my body while hugging him. Summirize it all; You earned a like.....i'm gonna watch this in my daily consumption of Tommy Angst.... it's not healthy, but i've got nothing else to do

The last line.... 5:28 ... “I can’t do this..” the way he says it with his voice trailing off, the line both following and followed by unsettling silence, paired with the emotions drawn leading up to that moment not only gave me chills but even made me begin to cry ( which with everything going on on the smp these days is not that much a feat hahaha but still) I can’t stop rewatching that part but also the video in full, this is one of my favorite animatics now for so many reasons but here is just one of the many. Absolutely stunning, such great work!!!!

YOOOOOOOOOO Honestly, honestly, these animatics make the lore ten times better like holy- just wow

I haaaate the fact that Dream gets close in the end. I LOVE that detail! Just hate how on point that is lol Awesome animation!

Oh my goodness this is so cool!! I absolutely love the way you portrayed their emotions, especially the flashbacks and comparisons to exile. Definitely looking forward to more :)

This gave me CHILLS!!!! It’s so unbelievably good! I loved the slow burn power shift as tommy lost whatever control of the situation he had knowing he could leave the prison. Also just the visual storytelling, the character design, the flashbacks... STUNNING!

Damn it sure looks like I'm watching a animationed TV show

Dream being subtly physically affectionate to Tommy to gain his trust is such a nice touch!

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Everything about it was just so perfectly illustrated to show what was happening. The flashbacks with the TNT, DReam's manipulation trying, again and again, to pull Tommy back in, the way Tommy slowly started breaking down until Dream touches him and he doesn't throw him off. Masterful. I love this so much.

The way Tommy's pupils turn green, shiwing that Dream has won, at least for now, is so heartbreaking when paired with the blue that only happened when Tommy was, well, being Tommy.

God, this is amazing. The glitch effect is used really well, and Tommy's expressions are so emotive. I also, like the sparing use of colour! It's so shocking to see Tommy turn around, and suddenly his eyes are a vibrant blue.

Everybody else is playing dream smp while dream is playing death note

Meanwhile.... Tubbo: **Living his best life with Ranboo and Michael while vibing and building a hotel with him**

"Yes, where else would I go" The way dream said that was like: Well yes of course, what do you think?!

1:01 THAT IS CREEPY AS FUCK AND I'M HERE FOR IT

something that also hints at dream having control over tommy is at 2:48 when dream tells him to yell and plead he does it without a question

Really really brilliant. The way that you draw out slight differences in body language to show how tense someone is, it's VERY good! Great job :D

Honestly I’m really excited to see what’ll happen to Tommy when he gets out. He hasn’t streamed since he was put in prison, so any sort of development he’ll get is off screen.

Tommy: I don't want your potatoes man Dream: So you chose death

This is just as intense as it was first watching this. I really loved this animation

Dream: yeah, where else am I gonna go? Me: on the other side of the wall please, I don't know if you know but a disease is going around called covid, social distance people!!

ngl when the panic settled in, i genuinely had a secondhand panic attack, because of the fact that Tommy had started getting back on his own two feet and was feeling good about the future, then he's locked in with his abuser for up to a week, in an enclosed space where not even Sam can play as mediator. As someone who's experienced abuse and manipulation, this hurts because Tommy is still a kid, and has gone through enough trauma to last him a lifetime of nightmare fuel. He was ready to be done with his abuser, ready to move on with his life and become a better person, because like he said "I don't like who i am when im with him." Then he's trapped back in his abusers hands, and he's strong enough to keep Dream away, but not for long because as a warrior, Tommy knows when he's in a corner, and he knows that there is no way out for him. Also the fact that Tommy cried out for Phil when the genuine panic settled in, made me cry cause even after everything, and the fact that (according to lore but has not been confirmed) Phil doesn't seem to care for Tommy as a son, he still cried out for Phil to save him.

This just made the scene so much more intense I was on the edge of my seat! Literally clenched my gut had a ball of dread it was so amazingly portrayed!!

Something about this gets me watching it over and over and over again.

Dream in real life: **donates large amounts of money to streamers to say merry Christmas** Dream’s SMP character: *top 10 biggest jerks of all time!*

the amount of angst in this video is crazy.

God c!dream is so obsessed with c!tommy it’s legitimately disturbing good job with the animatic btw

This is so cool! I always love the representation's and I love the designs, I love your artstyle and how this was done! I got chill's! :D (your so frickin' good at art)

I absolutely love how creepy and eerie Dream looks

THIS IS SOO GOOD AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME :(

"you will not ruin my future" Me knowing what happens next: *cRyInG iNtEnSiFiEs*

My favourite part is where the strings are coming up to him.. It's just LITERAL CHILLS!!! ✨👌

Dream and Tommy's relationship reminds me of toxic parent-child relationship. The Toxic parent AKA Dream want to control their child AKA Tommy however you can't control them forever. This is why Dream is obsess with Tommy. He wants to control him since he was the only player that really went against him. When Tommy was exiled it was like the child being force to move in with their parent. They would be able to manipulate, guilt, and control them. That's what Dream did even after Tommy escaped him Dream still has that control over him even without the disc. Poor Tommy really needs a hug and therapist soon.

I cant help but see dream as a dad who's trying to right his wrongs but falling back into bad habits

holy shit i've never noticed the intense anger and hurt in tommy's "NO!" at 2:29 while dream is trying to convince him that he's changed. tommy was making a stupid bit about making twitter dot com canon and then his sudden yell, like... oh my god dream snapping and tommy stepping back... tommy's brittle voice when he says "you're gonna be in here the whole time?" cause that's the worst situation he could ever be in... for tommy to go through complete hell and back, it mostly being thanks to dream, the man who abused you and manipulated you. imagine finally getting to put that bastard in prison, but then finding out that lots of people want him free and just not understanding all the pain tommy went through just because he's so frequently painted as the bad guy... you brought the visuals to freaking life, dude! it just amplified the total anxiety i felt watching the actual scene. cc!tommy please give your oc a break for like. two months. please

Oh this was beautiful. There's something about Tommy's acting that is always so impactful to me but it's not the most immersive experience. Your animation, all the little details and symbolism, just...oh it's so good, I can't find the words. I loved the added flashbacks, the visuals with the strings and dream touching Tommy. This was so good to watch and I'm glad it came up on my recommended.
