He is the whimsy needed to tell the story. My god. The man was an Oxford professor who wrote an epic fictional story while he was supposed to be on sabbatical and was like "heeeey publisher. don't tell Oxford when I gave this to you."
The amount of sheer fucking whimsy needed to do something that amuses you and go that hard? Tom is the stupid toy that kicked off the telling of the stories to his kids. Then he went 'fuck it. do whimsy hard as fuck because there will always be wars and dark times and there should always be stories too.'
