What's often interesting to me, is Dream spells it out in the finale and people often still don't get it, so I thought it'd be interesting to see what he was actually referencing here. To see where it all started.
[24:27] Tommy: “That first war, me and Tubbo versus you–how it should have ended–why’d you take it?”
Dream: “Tommy, you ambushed me and killed me. You stole all my shit! You tried ambushing me in a little cave–you don’t remember that? I feel like you just–your memory is just–gone.”
So here is the ambush Dream is talking about, where Sapnap and Tommy basically decide to just kill Dream and then kept all of his shit. [Death 1]
He gets killed again when he tries to take back his stuff. [Death 2]
Tommy kills him for fun right after he respawns with nothing. [Death 3]
Then after Dream gets his stuff back (via our boy Punz) and he takes the discs to get Tommy to stop, he gives Tommy back his items. But unsatisfied, Tommy goes after Dream, gets one of his discs back and hides it in the little cave. Dream tries to find it, while Sapnap and Tommy try to stop him. They are unsuccessful until, Tubbo brings them axes and they sneak up and corner Dream in the little cave, ambushing and killing him. Once again, taking all of his shit, (including, yes, the other disc.) [Death 4]
[27:58] Tommy: “Think about that, we could’ve been friends but no because you have to figure out the reason you have to get–”
Dream: “Yeah we could’ve but you–you ruined the chance of that long ago. It was you.”
Tommy: “I ruined it?”
Dream: “You ruined it!”
And I don’t think it’s unfair for Dream to say that in the finale, because for Dream it’s this stream early on, these moments that started it all. It’s these instances of of Dream getting murdered and robbed and made fun of over and over. Him, trying to not just make peace for everyone, but also reclaim respect and peace for himself. It’s Tommy chasing after Dream when he has nothing to kill him and rub it in his face. It’s Dream, even after all of that, giving back their items. It’s these instances of violence taken too far to the point they clearly pissed Dream off and didn’t care or follow his very simple request of just giving an apology and his belongings back that shape my distaste for Tommy and sympathy for Dream. It’s these moments that I feel like are gone from Tommy’s and our memory that highlight a different story.
[28:34] Dream: “Yeah, we could have been friends if you weren’t a little shit.”

I have a fun qTubbo backstory idea but idk how well it would tie into pre-existing lore so bare with me.
So you guys know how the French arrived by a plane (crash)? And how Tubbo has a Special Interest in aviation? And how he's good with the create mode + has asked for the create extension which adds planes?
What if he was hired as a plane engineer for the company that had the French's plane as a part of their fleet (example: if the plane belonged to AirFrance, he'd be an AirFrance engineer).
He was a one of a kind, akin to a child prodigy, a miracle for his age (at the time maybe around 17-18), a genius. However he was the one responsible for the quality checks of the navigation tools on that specific flight. Unfortunately for him, he had missed something.
As the chicken appeared on the navigation screen, there were no verbal call outs by the system, leading to the pilot's writing it off as a stray cloud instead of an object creating a collision coarse.
This lead to one of the engines, the left engine, to collide with the chicken and cause a rapid descent. The pilots, suffering from fatigue, could not react fast enough. They made many wrong inputs, and in the end when they tried to land on a flat field, they crashed with the wall of Quesadilla island. All but 5 passengers perished in the crash.
Tubbo, after being discovered as the engineer behind the system's quality check-up, was arrested and thrown into prison, as we know it: the Ice bunker. It was a very shady prison, more akin to a testing ground/a laboratory full of lab rats than an actual prison.
The treatment of the inmates was brutal and inhumane, until they all for unknown reasons were frozen over, either as a cover-up or because they had served their purpose, it was unknown.
And with that, there lied the story of Tubbo. A previous child prodigy with a bright future to a prison inmate in a questionable prison.
(I want to mention, I know at one point the Qsmp members took on an expedition to retrieve the black box of the plane, however I cannot find a clip of that so I do not know what exactly happened in the planes cockpit. If someone has a clip or can recall what it said that would be appreciated, thank you!)

With Dream SMP finally being over I can finally not worry about being out of date and I can share my longest working project:
THE DREAM SMP DEATH COUNT
This document contains details of all canon deaths, such as who was killed by who, which method was used, and during what time period they died, as well as some extra fun facts that are death related.
I will put all the details under, but be warned, this is long and I do recommend the Google Document for reading.
DISCLAIMER: Some deaths happen outside the main plot, and some arcs last for long periods. The deaths aren’t in chronological order, the arcs are.

Fun facts:
There are 58 total deaths!
Dream has the highest and most varied kill count, with at least 12 kills under his belt
The bloodiest event was the Egg Finale
Jack was killed by most of SBI: Tommy, Wil, and Techno
Connor and Schlatt are ghosts even though they only lost 2 lives on the server
The only person who has killed Tommy is Dream
The War of Independence has the least canon deaths
Antfrost’s, Mexican Dreams’s and Tommy’s second death, and Quackity’s first death are the only ones caused by a mutually agreed fight/duel. Everything else is murder intentional or accidental.
Schlatt’s and Sam’s final deaths are the only ones caused by body problems, not outsiders. Curiously both had 2 lives when it happened.
MD is the only player to be canonically killed by a mob.
With BadBoyHalo and Skeppy sharing a death count, is actually very hard to tell how many lives they actually have left.
Even if C!Ranboo said that he only had one life when he died, he did die in canon 3 separate times.
Is shown that anyone revived has a single life, as Tommy was sent to purgatory when he was killed again. Jack is the exception.
12 have all three lives: George, Sapnap, Callahan, Alyssa, Eret, Niki, Hbomb, Puffy, Tina, Boomer, Jack, and Michael
8 have 2 lives: Karl, Foolish, Charlie, Aimsey, Purpled, SeaPeeKay, Hannah, and Eryn
11 have 1 life: Phil, Technoblade, Fundy, Tubbo, Wilbur, Tommy, Quackity, Dream, Punz, Antfrost, and Ponk
6 have none: Schlatt, Mexican Dream, Ranboo, Lazar, Vikkstar, and Connor
3 are Unknown: BBH, Skeppy, and Sam
