About todays stream...

I only watched Technos POV, so please add on more that was missed from his POV but is also important to the lore

So earlier, Techno streamed (I wasn't able to catch it bc I was in school, and he ended it right as I got home), and I want to talk about something. Specifically regarding him and Tommy's betrayal.

Now, if you haven't watched the past few streams (can be anyone's POV, but I'm mostly gonna be talking about Technos), I recommend you do bc there will be spoilers.

There are 3 types of acting.

Voice acting, where you convey emotions through your voice rather than your face (Techno and Dream do this a lot, I've noticed, but also Tubbo, as some people pointed out).

Facial acting, where they act more via face cam rather than their voice.

And then a mixture between the two, where they act in the face cam that would go along with their tone of voice (Wilbur and Tommy are prime examples of this).

Now, because I'm specifically talking about Techno, I will be mostly referring to the first one.

I think Tommy's betrayal hurt Techno.

I mean, just listen to his tone of voice when confronting him, and the words he's using.

Remember, Techno was the one writing the script (which I think is the reason he played such a big role in this arc/act/season/whatever), and him being an ex English major makes me believe he knew exactly what he was doing when writing it.

Now, I can't say how much was scripted and how much was improv, because I don't know, but I think Tommy's betrayal was scripted.

But think of what happened 2 days beforehand. Techno trusted Tommy, respected him, even. He basically nurtured this broken kid back to who he was before. He housed him, fed him, protected him. He took care of this kid that just decided to live in his house because he trusted him enough to not bring him back to Dream.

And then he revealed his whole plan to Tommy, about blowing up L'manburg. He trusted Tommy enough to, at the very least, stay by his side. He understood if Tommy didn't want to blow up his home, but he just wanted someone he could trust and be there by his side.

And then Tommy betrayed him.

And from then on, talking to and about Tommy, Technos voice is strained, like he's trying to hide the fact that someone he trusted, someone he actually cared about, betrayed him like that, for someone that betrayed him multiple times.

And when Techno said to Tommy "You never thought of me as a friend" like 5 times, I could hear in-between the lines him saying "I considered you as my friend".

Remember, Techno and Tommy grew abnormally close within their short partnership.

I mean, the reason why Techno and Phil are so close is because they have a lot of background with each other (not being related), which also explains how he knew Wilbur in the rp.

Idk, I need more information before I can really make a theory, but I can theorize what's gonna happen in the next act.

1) Techno will definitely want revenge on Tommy
2) Dream will have a few aces up his sleeve in securing Lmanburgs demise
3) Phil might end up resurrecting Ghostbur, and that will either just make an alive Ghostbur (aka not have all his memories and will continue to run around except he can actually die this time), or will cause Wilbur (the one who blew up L'manburg) to come back, with most, if not all, his memories
4) Tubbo and Tommy's friendship will be strained, and they're either gonna somehow fix their broken friendship or just break it off altogether

That's what I think is gonna happen in the next act, anyway
