I realized that tubbo didn’t even defend himself in the song, just like how he would’ve act as his character. Him just blaming himself and regretting the things he did to tommy hurts more. Even if he said it was for the nation they build, he realized that it was their nation, his and tommy’s nation.

[@lavendertreeblossom7613]

when I read, he realized that it was their nation, his and tommy's nation, that really hurt. Your completely correct, its just that I never really thought of it like that... yet it makes so much sense, and its true. Oh my god I might just cry again-

[@maya-pr2by]

The way they portray Tubbo, his selflessness, his kindness, I feel like Tommy always took him for granted. He's such a, what do you call it? He's always, like, self-denying.. He always thinks about others, rather than his own self. Which is what I love about Tubbo! I've gotten mad at some of my friends for being that kinds..idk why!

Tubbo’s “your tommy” compass is the last sign of his and tommy’s friendship, and after he finally visits tommy who is still in exile, he noticed tommy jumped off his last built cobblestone tower and died, after that he forgot about him and refocuses on the enemies of his country and only to failed to kill Technoblade because of Dream

[@muffin5853]

Something I really find interesting is that when Tommy's pov sings "Everything will lead back to you" there are only some very soft harmonies in the background (at most 2 voices). Plus they're barely noticeable unless you wear headphones and are actively looking for them. In Tubbo's POV, there are really strong harmonies when that line is sung (I'd like to say 2-3+ voices).
And honestly all I could think of is how alone Tommy felt in exile, now that he didn't have Tubbo or any friends who understood him, while Tubbo was running a nation and had constant backup from advisors or just fellow friends. And the best part is that the final "Everything will lead back to you" in Tubbo's pov has no vocal harmony at all, seeing as he's now lost the friend which stood by him all along, and therefore feels alone. And all of that is a pretty neat detail I must say.

[@heyitscindy6180]

wow. absolute in shock rn. i'm stunned at how well you guys made these songs, with the same lines "your tubbo" "your tommy" and ending the same way. It's the references to "everything will lead back to you" referencing the compasses. the lyric" us against the world" both written in kanaya's song , and kanaya's other separate"us against the world".
not just that, the art is astounding, and the vocals gave me literal chills. tubbo sitting on the bench thinking of the memories (remember, tubbo thinks that tommy died). and tommy thinking that tubbo doesn't think of him as a friend anymore, hence the song title "letter to mr president" and not "letter to my best friend". all the vocals the art the lyrics; astounding. there are also many different things i haven't touched on, such as the mood of the art, the colours used, the specific wording, but i won't go into too much detail.
the songs sync up perfectly, and have common lyrics that references even other songs. well done. you guys deserve a lot of fame and recognition for this and thank you so much for making me stay up at 2am to cry.

This song hits different after Tommy's death in the smp. Tubbo wrote this letter and planned on apologizing to Tommy for everything, and he thought he lost him when Logstedshire burned down. Then, Tommy turned out to be alive, and everything seemed to be going good. Dream was in prison, and the duo was back together. But now Tommy's really dead, and I can only imagine how broken Tubbo canonically will be when it registers. He's lost Wilbur, L'Manberg, now Tommy, all as a result of Dream (indirectly or directly), who was thought to be unable to hurt anyone else now that he was locked away. It hurts, and this is all about a block game
