fun fact: Tom Riddle survived the Blitz at fourteen. fun fact two: sociopathy is also developed by environment. Tom Riddle could have ended up a good person regardless of the circumstances of his birth. Fun fact three: the knights of Walpurgis thought they were Tom's friends, meaning he is actually capable of at least showing care and consideration to the originals. I'd like to head canon that seeing his friends' genetic insanities and how the descended into madness with or maybe after or even before him gave him a sense of place and belonging that added to his need for followers. To feel wanted. To feel powerful. To feel like more than the orphan not even his father wanted.
This! Tbh i always say that if Tom's mother never gave up to death then she could have raised him to be one of the most famous wizards of the 20th century, but without you know...killing everyone that breathes and what not.
@@Jaymang12 REAL! He could have been an actually solid politician!! Like- Imagine instead of wanting to kill muggleborns he went and got them more protections instead of having them left to their own devices in the muggle world (where they tend to be abused if Harry, Tom, Credence, and that muggleborn girl he grew up with are to be used as reference.)
@@Lupus9272 Idk about a politician and I don't think he would like them either but better than dying by him? But hey good theory I could be wrong, but aren't politicians' assholes or am i thinking of something else?
@@Jaymang12 Typically yeah lmfao- it js made sense to me for if Tom still craves change- and if Dumbledore still doesn't let him become a professor lol Hermione ended up a politician (Minister of Magic) in canon, so proof not all of em are shittt at least in the Harry Potter world.
@@burningstar69 I know he didn’t do anything but like I mean like he deserved it in the future (I haven’t watched Harry Potter in while so I didn’t mean anything also my opinion)
You dont know how *long* it took me looking for Voldemort/Tom Riddle angst...

Plus wheneve I think of Tom I think of that specific part of the song Army Dreamers lmfao
I almost feel bad tbh
I feel really bad for him 😔
Poor Tom (°︵°)
Can I have the name of the song, please?
The video is just the most beautiful and very atmospheric.
(Sorry, I'm writing through a translator)😅
Who’s afraid of little old me by Taylor swift :) (I think)
❤❤❤❤❤❤@@SomeoneYouKnow837
ngl deserved
He didn’t tho? He was a child it was way before he did anything bad like murder💀
People really should know what deserved means he literally didn't do anything back then
