History Heartwarming / DreamSMP

** Ghostbur tags alongside him to keep Tommy from being completely alone and even builds a house for him. Despite his amnesia, he tried very, ''very'' hard to find something that would cheer Tommy up, to the point where he even writes down a list of the things Tommy likes to make sure he won't forget. Doubles as a [[TearJerker/DreamSMP Tear Jerker]] when the gift he ends up going with is a Lodestone Compass renamed to "Your Tubbo" that points to Tubbo's house. He gifts Tubbo another compass named "Your Tommy" that points to Tommy's tent.
*** Both Tommy and Tubbo clearly treasure the compasses; Tommy stashes his compass in his Ender Chest, right next to his discs, and Tubbo holds his compass in his hand at all times.

* Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome Moment of Awesome]]. Something always happens on the 16th of each month on the Dream SMP, right? Turns out on February 16th, 2021, that "something" was Ranboo getting ''over '''10 thousand''' subscribers, hitting six sub goals and becoming the '''fourth most subscribed Twitch streamer of all time'''''. '''''ALL IN ONE STREAM!'''''
** How does Ranboo respond to this? He changes his Twitch description from "Just a guy trying to do something"... to "Just a guy doing something". Well done, Ranboo, well done!

* During one of George's "lore" streams, he lifts the green screen to reveal Tommy, Niki, Tubbo, and Jack, all enter the room where he was streaming... i.e. where ''Tommy'' streams. It goes to show how close these people are to each other.
** It's later revealed that the content creators went on to drop Tommy off at college.
* On an even more meta level, many content creators frequently show ApprovalOfGod towards fan works based on the Dream SMP, partially because livestreaming is typically a more interactive form of media when compared with books and films. At times, their reactions as recorded on stream can even be classified as ''gushing'', especially when it features their own character, and it's heartwarming to see that the creators are just as enthusiastic about the content and communities they have created as most of the fandom.[[note]]Click [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MCZ-RGIXj4 here]] to see Quackity fanboy over "Casino Royale" for an example.[[/note]]
* Doubles as [[TearJerker/DreamSMP Tear Jerker]]. After Techno's death, a massive outpour of fanart, fan animatics, fan songs, fan videos and more were released to commemorate him. Techno's subscriber base went from just over 10 million to 15.6 million after the video's release. Dream SMP members, other [=YouTubers=] and streamers, MCC, Twitchcon, Hypixel and even ''Minecraft and [=YouTube=] themselves released tributes to him.'' In a sense, Techno truly does never die.

-->'''Tubbo:''' From the beginning, it's been you and me. We- we- we've had our quarrels, but overall, I th- It's been... It's been a helluva lot of fucking fun, Tommy. It's been great. It's been just so great. And... I have something for you that was actually... My first- one of the first things that I valued on this server, much like your music discs to me actually! Because I thought this was lost ages ago, but I found it. I found it again today. And y'know what, it... ''(stammers)'' Consider it a token of good luck, for the election! I ''really'' hope this turns out for the better.\\

* Wilbur and Fundy's relationship had gotten ''incredibly'' strained by the end of the story, but when Schlatt accused Fundy -- who is canonically a transgender [[FoxFolk anthropomorphic fox]] -- of [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain not being a real man]], Wilbur ''immediately'' jumped in to [[PapaWolf defend him]].
-->'''Wilbur:''' Alright, nono, that's it, I don't give a- Dream, I don't care what you have to say, Schlatt, are you ready to die?!

'''Ghostbur:''' ''(happy squeal)'' What?! That's so cool, I am- I am on cloud nine!

* [[YouAreNotAlone Several SMP members show support for Tommy after he is exiled.]]

*** Both Tommy and Tubbo clearly treasure the compasses. Tommy stashes his compass in his Ender Chest, right next to his discs, and Tubbo holds his compass in his hand at all times.
** Ranboo sends a whisper reassuring Tommy that while he can't go with him Tommy has his support. Him and Fundy come by later to help Tommy gather the materials for an Ender Chest, and he sets up a mailbox so that he and Tommy can communicate through a book and quill.

** Of all people, ''Tubbo'' showed up too. While he spent most of the time hiding from Dream, he did occasionally pop out to wave at Tommy. Tubbo has said that he regrets exiling Tommy, that he really misses him, and consistently holds the "Your Tommy"-compass in his offhand.

'''Tubbo:''' As long as you respect tradition... and embrace change... You'll be good. You'll be good. [...] If you win, you will have this.\\

* Phil's interactions with Wilbur, Techno and Tommy during the attack of the Butcher's Army are very heartwarming as well. While he's not a very present father, he clearly cares a lot about them, as shown in his interactions with them.

** It's worth noting that Techno's voices (aka his chat) are also ''very'' protective over Tommy. When Dream showed up at the house looking for Tommy, the chat freaked out, yelling at Techno to hide Tommy and to not let Dream see him.

* Ghostbur's relationship with [[RegretfulTraitor Eret]] was... strained for a long time. Ghostbur was under the impression that Eret was the bad guy of the server, due to [[RebelliousRebel his role]] in the L'Manburg War for Independence. However, after actually speaking to Eret face-to-face, Ghostbur decides that Eret isn't a bad person after all, and after Eret offers to help resurrect him, Ghostbur says that once he's come back to life, he's going to amend the L'Manburg National Anthem to say something to the effect of "And Eret" instead of "Fuck Eret".

* On January 20th, 2021, Tommy and Tubbo set off from the Dream SMP to fight to the death against Dream one last time... '''''[[SurprisinglyHappyEnding AND WIN!]]''''' With the help of [[BigDamnHeroes Punz gathering almost the]] ''[[BigDamnHeroes entire rest of the server]],'' Dream is imprisoned in Pandora's Vault, and Tommy and Tubbo finally retrieve the discs, putting an end to the Disc Wars once and for all. It's been so long since either of the two have achieved a victory, which makes this one all the more sweeter.
** How do they celebrate their victory? [[BookEnds Playing the discs on the bench, just as they had done before]].

** Tommy in return is just as caring to Sam, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold even if he doesn't show it as often.]] When Sam Nook informs Tommy that he's hungry and will most likely starve, Tommy ''immediately'' goes into a panic, throwing an ''[[RareRandomDrop enchanted golden apple]]''[[note]]which has around a 3.1% chance of naturally spawning[[/note]] at him with no hesitation or expectation of its return.

* As heartbreaking as Tommy's death was, the response from the rest of the server was so heartwarming. Ranboo just about smothered his house in flowers, Puffy built a shrine by the Prime Path dedicated to his memory, Foolish made a pixelart statue of Tommy in his L'Manburg uniform over his house, Tubbo built a memorial near Snowchester with things that symbolize Tommy (a bench, a jukebox, a replica of the Prime Log, cobblestone surrounding the flowerbed and an oak wood headstone), and Eret organized a celebration of life and a (very make-shift) viking funeral attended by herself, Puffy and Foolish, and plans to build a crypt under her museum dedicated to Tommy's memory. As much as Dream tried to convince Tommy that nobody cared about him, [[YouAreNotAlone the server has definitively proved him wrong.]]
** Puffy especially has dedicated herself to protecting Tommy's memory, kicking the Eggpire out of Tommy's house when they tried to use it to celebrate his death, tearing down the Egg headquarters in response to them moving to the hotel, and remaining determined to keep the hotel out of Jack's hands.

** Before that, Quackity also dug into The Egg's chambers and piled the place high with stacks of TNT, with full intent to destroy the Egg, because [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther he wanted Bad to return to normal again]]. Although the stunt utterly failed and motivated the Eggpire to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero reinforce the Egg against further explosions]], it's the thought that counts.

* After having Tubbo and Ranboo help him face his fears, Tommy asks to talk to Tubbo alone... but not before walking up to Ranboo, giving him a hug, and thanking him. He later admits to Tubbo that, while he has a lot of issues with jealousy, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachother he does genuinely like Ranboo and think he's a good person.]]

-->'''Wilbur:''' ''(cackling)'' I'M FUCK- IM ''ALIVE!'' TOMMY, I'M ALIVE! I HAVE SPENT ''THIRTEEN AND A HALF YEARS'' IN THE FUCKING- ''(heavy breathing, laughing in disbelief)'' [...] Tommy, this is ''bliss!'' Oh, my god, [[CueTheSun the sunrise]], I need to watch the sunrise!

* A subtle moment during Quackity's May 22nd lore stream, especially overshadowed by the sheer amount of [[NightmareFuel/DreamSMP Nightmare Fuel]] in the stream. When Slimecicle gets excited over [[FirstSnow seeing snowfall for the first time]] and asks what it is, Quackity jokingly calls it coke, and almost seems surprised at himself for being able to make such a joke. It's slightly reassuring that even beneath his ongoing ruthlessness and desperation, there's still a sliver of the idealistic, [[TheCartel drug]]-[[CallBack dealing]] {{cloudcuckoolander}} buried deep down somewhere within him.
** Another moment occurs in the same stream when Quackity sneaks into Purpled's UFO to plant TNT in it, as he breaks a shroomlight and has a light-hearted peek-a-boo session with Sam, who is directing from afar. Even though Sam is still very [[StraightManAndWiseGuy straight-laced]] about the situation, it's a small reminder that the old Quackity isn't entirely gone, especially in a [[NightmareFuel/DreamSMP highly intensive]] lore stream like this one.

* The start of the stream where Tommy and Wilbur head down to Las Nevadas is rather sweet, where the two are joking around like how they used to, back in simpler times. Sadly, the amicable moments don't last as the stream goes on, but it was a nice nostalgic moment.
** While Wilbur and Quackity spend most of the stream bickering, passive-aggressively or directly, it's very telling that the one thing that immediately snaps them out of their conversation is Tommy suddenly climbing on the railing and talking about [[DrivenToSuicide jumping off]]. Concerned, they both rush over to him and usher him away from the edge. [[BigBrotherInstinct It's a very fast moment, but it's one that shows deep down, they do care for Tommy's wellbeing.]]

* During Foolish's stream on June 2nd 2021, Foolish finally gave Quackity the enchanted set of Netherite armor he had been working on for a few days. Though Quackity portrays himself as a cold, ruthless businessman; [[StunnedSilence he is stunned to silence by the gesture]], questioning why Foolish did it despite not being asked, and seemingly being [[UnexpectedKindness in awe of receiving a gift]]. Quackity notes it's been a while since he last had Netherite, and thanks Foolish for the armor. This get's even more heartwarming when you remember Sam used to give and supply Quackity with new armor and tools every time he seemed to inevitably lose them.

* Wilbur [[https://geoguessbur.tumblr.com/post/658539270613630976/what-a-way-to-honor-tommy-one-of-the-most-loyal recalling]] on the first anniversary of L'Manburg's independence that Tommy used to [[TalkingToPlants sing to the plants]] of L'Manburg to help them grow. More specifically, he sang "[[Music/LeonardCohen Hallelujah]]", so Wilbur wrote L'Manburg's national anthem to the song's tune in honour of his loyal compatriot and younger brother-figure.

--->'''Wilbur:''' Tubbo, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre do you know how]] ''[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre fucking]]'' [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre strong you are?]] And I'm not- I'm not just saying that, I've alr- I've got your forgiveness, and I know I need to earn your trust, but man, I just wanna let you know that... You're ''so'' strong, man. Genuinely. Just the fact that you proved to me just there, that you... you have these memories, you have these nightmares, and you still found it in your heart to forgive me, that... You're a fucking champion, man. You're a hero.

''-Technoblade''

** Slime's status as Quackity's MoralityPet is fully secured as his [[ArmorPiercingQuestion armour-piercing questions]] cause Quackity to reflect on himself, and even as Purpled shoves Slime down into the lava pit, Quackity shows ''zero'' hesitation in jumping down after him, and is visibly seen to have grown attached to Slime through his grief--and acknowledging him to be 'human', thus naming him Charlie.

*** There's also a moment where Sapnap shows Quackity an empty house opposite of Tina's "in case someone wants to join", and then starts [[CoughSnarkCough coughing conspicuously and lightly punches Quackity]]. Yeah, Sapnap, real smooth.
*** [[MoodWhiplash But of course]], when they come across Karl in his library, [[TearJerker/DreamSMP it all starts going downhill]].
* The day after the last "Las Nevadas" stream comes the day Dream escapes from prison, [[WhamEpisode sending the server into chaos]]. However, amidst the chaos, Quackity deliberately seeks Tommy out to [[BigBrotherInstinct help him cope with it]], calming him down and giving him obsidian (black blocks) and yellow concrete to fortify his house and make him feel safer, as well as a reminder of L'Manburg--while bearing in mind that Quackity personally associates walls with exclusion. Quackity also gives Tommy some of his netherite armour for protection and the two share ladders as a sign that they have each other's backs.
** What makes this more HeartwarmingInHindsight is that it shows Quackity has taken his personal reflections courtesy of Slime to heart and learning to pull himself out of the spiral he had gone down. In a way, Quackity is indeed honouring Slime's legacy through that.
** Oh, and Tommy also tries to "/hug" Quackity.
* During the prison break, Technoblade refuses to leave Ranboo behind, even demanding that Dream help him break him out, despite the obvious and incredible danger that doing so entails; and when Ranboo dies after the break out, Technoblade drops his trademark casual attitude and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge makes a beeline for Sam]], fully intending on avenging Ranboo then and there. It goes to show that [[DeadpanSnarker despite]] [[BloodKnight Technoblade's]] [[NoSympathy outward]] [[JerkwithaHeartofGold appearance]], he truly cares a great deal about Ranboo.
* After being freed from prison, Dream [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge approaches Tommy outside the ruins of Logstedshire, before chasing him across the wilderness]]. The kid's first instinct is to run for Phil's house. And Phil earnestly takes him in, reassuring him. [[PapaWolf He even downright declares that he'll kill Dream next time he sees him.]]

* Tubbo, Technoblade, and Eret teaming up counts as one, as it shows the CharacterDevelopment all three of them have gone through. Though there are some barbs between them for their slights against each other, they're all able to apologize to each other--particularly, Techno and Eret apologizing for their betrayals of Tubbo at the Red Festival and the Final Control Room--and let bygones be bygones.

** Then Tommy reveals [[DrivenToSuicide the purpose of the Tower to the clouds]] he built in Exile... which is heartwarming--and heartwrenching--on two parts: 1) Tommy trusts Wilbur enough to tell him about ''that'', and 2) Wilbur's immediate reaction is to have an ImagineSpot where he breaks into Pandora's Vault to [[BigBrotherInstinct give Dream a piece of his mind]] by ''screaming in his face and beating the living daylights out of him''.

--->'''Charlie:''' Quackity from Las Nevadas, you're [[CharacterDevelopment breaking a lesson]]. You said [[CallBack "Trust nobody"]]... do you trust me?

** Doubles as [[TearJerker/DreamSMP Tear Jerker]]. After Techno's death, a massive outpour of fanart, fan animatics, fan songs, fan videos and more were released to commemorate him. Techno's subscriber base went from just over 10 million to 15.6 million after the video's release. Dream SMP members, other [=YouTubers=] and streamers, MCC, Twitchcon, Hypixel and even ''Minecraft and [=YouTube=] themselves released tributes to him.'' In a sense, Techno truly does never die.
