(Ok, to elaborate to make sure you’re not mad at me for feeling cheated: Basically, I don’t like Designated Heroes and this honestly feels like a cheap suddenly thrown in way to solve that problem, and it didn’t have any build up so it just feels haphazardly thrown in to try and keep Timber from ever being in the wrong, which isn’t... realistic, honestly. And you want to make Timber likable, then there’s a way: You could make it so he IS trying to force sympathy out of Dream, but then Dream yells at him and gives him a “The Reason You Suck” Speech which makes him realize he was wing a d-bag, so he becomes The Atoner and tries to make it up to everyone.

It’s just that I hate Designated Heroes. I think the page explains why: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DesignatedHero

Even if someone doesn’t make Designated Heroes, I still think they should learn what those are and read that page about it to avoid making them in the future. Please read it. Trust me, it’ll help you improve at writing. It’s probably helped me improve, too, just knowing that these kind of characters are annoying and break the Show, Don’t Tell principle)
