#I lived through DSMP

[antimony-medusa]

*I emerge from scrolling tags to avoid writing an essay about learning styles, staring madly and with my hair torn out of my head*

okay so btw, Phil is the top requested QSMP character for the exchanges I run, usually followed by Chayanne (and then spiderbit/parrot duo, usually only like one or two votes behind).

Pissa is the 7th most popular QSMP ship, with 299 fics of this writing, and Phil & Chayanne is the 10th most popular ship, with 265 fics. Phil is the single most popular QSMP character on Ao3, tagged in 2,354 fics.

Speaking as someone who regularly goes into both the Phil and the Etoiles tags to queue art, Phil has tons of awesome art. People liveblog his lore streams. I personally saw the Cellbit discord doing a primer on his hardcore lore the other day because someone had the theory that it was going to be applicable to general QSMP lore. If I see a cool moment on stream, I can open up the tag six hours later and there's art of it.

Do you know how many fandoms would absolutely kill for that?

Phil is not sidelined by the fandom. He is doing FINE. That is the opposite of the problem we are having, we are having the problem where Phil is popular enough that people show up to other people's lore like "let me make this about my guy" and I scream and claw my face and apologize for them. We are having the problem where while MOST people in the tag are well behaved, just by laws of percentages, even a very small portion of the fandom acting badly makes fans of other characters clutch their blorbos to their chest and mutter darkly about "phil fans".

It might seem a little less if you're used to DSMP at its peak, but I assure you, DSMP at its peak was a megafandom. We are a healthy midsized-to-large fandoms and Phil is one of the big characters. I promise you.

Let me put this in DSMP terms. Phil crows? We are the inniters of QSMP. We are doing FINE. I assure you. Trust me.

Do I agree with the characterization everyone is bringing to the table for my blorbo? No. Popular characters get misrepresented. Is every fic in the tag a masterpiece? No. Baby writers get to have fun too. Do I sometimes go "aw I'd love to see more art of phil and [x] because I love their dynamic"? Yes. The nature of being human is to want more of your blorbo and for your takes about your blorbo to reign supreme.

But if you were kind of going "I want to see more of my blorbo :(" and thinking that represented that the fandom was not paying attention to the blorbo, I assure you, I've run the numbers, Phil is not being sidelined.

#philza #Look I am a Phil Crow in the extreme and he is my fave cubito #I rotate him like 18 hours a day #But I saw a post today and fully record scratched at that #I lived through DSMP #I saw what happened to phil's character #I still read DSMP #It's still happening #We have ENTIRELY DIFFERENT problems in qsmp #You can't import your reactions 1-to-1 from the previous fandom and have them make sense #Guys come ON #You're making us look like whiney babies

Wait... Dream was born on August 12, 1999 and Dream was arrested in the Disc Finale on January 20, 2021 soo... wait, wait, wait, that means he was only 21 when he was imprisoned for life in a small lava covered box!... Did I do that math right? 21?! Man was barely able to drink legally in the United States and they gave him a life sentence in a boiling cell with nothing but lava, raw potatoes, a clock, and some books?!... oh my god...

#sorry.... I just... give me a minute to process... I mean I knew we were close in age but I guess I never really thought about it #sometimes I forget it happened all the way back in 2021 and just... wow. #and Tommy would have been 16 so getting his driver's license in most states... The age gap is like that of my siblings and huh... #my brother can be a real prick... its a weird thought to imagine him getting through in prison just for messing with us... damn... #dreblr #c!dream #this is fine #don't mind me researching for my lastest maddening project..... i can't stop thinking about Dream being Sam's project....... #I'd blame my job but... let's be honest the prison arc lives rent free in my brain lol XD #dsmp #dsmp dream #dream smp #dreamwastaken #no one does it like c!dream #prison arc #pandora's vault #dishing up lore #kinda? I guess... #lore thoughts #ouch... I'm older than c!dream was in prison now... poor baby... :'(

I'm so fed up seeing videos about "the downfall of mcyt" or "mcyt history" and then the creator only mentions DSMP and maybe a few youtubers they watched. Like... there. are. so. many. creators. who. counted. or. count. as. mcyt. Here are my thoughts.

There are so, so many who counted, and still so many who count. And yeah, DSMP is an important part of MCYT history, but it's so recent in comparison. Like. Minecraft is a cockroach, it will go through so much shit and still be alive and active. Yes, there are the names who bring or brought down the name of MCYT, but in comparison they've always been such a small part of the community. They need to be remembered for their bad actions, or illegal in some cases, but defining the community by them is not good. Nor is just using one fucking smp.

I have watched, or attempted to watch, those types of videos on the history or the downfall etc., and I always complain internally about it. THERE ARE SO MANY PROMINENT MINECRAFT CONTENT CREATORS THAT FUCKING MADE CONTENT. Some don't make Mc (minecraft) content anymore or they rarely do but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be mentioned. (Yes I know, it's an impossible task to talk about all of them, but mentioning three or four as "the og mcyters" or "the old popular mcyters" just angers me)

DSMP I would say helped with the mc resurgence, but I can say similar to SMP live and SMP earth. I count SMP live as pretty important since I think people started watching the streams and videos from that smp and when DSMP happened people treated the content the same and watched it a lot. People started watching again, then with the boom of content in the covid lockdown people watched more. It wasn't just DSMP though.

Listen if you want to do a video about how DSMP affected you or the minecraft community, sure yeah that's a video to make. If you want to do a video on a specific few ytbers who you watched and how they affected the community yeah sure that's a video to make. To say "these are the three main" that's for you. To you they were the main three. To make the video of "all of mcyt history and mc as a whole" and mention 3 people......... and then DSMP.................... I don't understand you.

I've been a MCYT fan for years and years. As a child and as an adult. From E for everyone videos to watching videos that fucked with my innocence and just exposed me to shit I shouldn't have been watching at the time. Year after year watching different types of videos and different creators. Supporting people and finding out I shouldn't, and supporting people and them being good people. To challenge videos, parkour, adventure maps, droppers, role playing, role playing, let's plays, tutorials, modded content, horror content, hide and seek. So many different types of content exist for mc, and I've been a watcher for a lot of it.

DSMP should not define MCYT. There is too many people who have made content for me to just accept that.

Hold people accountable for their actions, do not define a large community by a few people, and if you want to talk about your favorites affect in the community go right ahead but please don't call them the most popular or most important. Some people might never of heard of them. (I am thinking of the do you know this mcyt blog)

#mcyt #dsmp #smp live #smp earth #Just mcyt as a whole is what im talking about theres so many youtubers out there #im just not up for people minimizing how much mc content exists. #edit: so youre not going to mention hermitcraft or stampy or prestonplays or popularmmos or aphmau or SCOTT SMAJOR or ihascupquake or #or any of the “little” crew or skydoesminecraft or shubble or captain sparklez or hbomb94 or rtgame or jacksucksatlife or amylee33 or Jamal #or wattles or squaishy or bajancanadian or jeromeasf or vikkstar #like yeah you need to mention Technoblade cause hes DSMP and skeppy and Badboyhalo are all that but they HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR FOREVER #techno gets the best commentary on him since you know #like so many of the hermitcraft people as well are so og mcyt to me and NOTHING is usually said about them #like fucking ldshadowlady and smallishbeans are also so og and scott and seepeekay and oli and like that crazy craft smp is so old so good #ssundae too im literally going through doyouknowthismcyt queue sheet for these names and i feel insane please please please talk about more #fucking mcyters then the dsmp ones i have fondish memories of dsmp dont hate on me but there is so much more you can talk about in videos #i feel so repetitive but i needed to express my thoughts on it #edit edit YEAH HOLD ON I FORGOT TO MENTION WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER FUCKING LANGUAGES AND COUNTRIES #theres other countries and other fucking languages people made mc content in i forgot about it for a sec #yeah they are definitely never mentioned

Techno sounds like such a parent when he says “Can you move the table?? Because I can’t move the table” like I burst out laughing from hearing it again KEKW

Source: Table POG

Transcription under the cut

[Transcript Start.

Phil: Do you not trust him yet?

Techno: That guy’s weird, man. He blew up the community house and we’re like “But why” and he’s like “I dunno”. “I don’t remember”.

Phil: Maybe we need… Maybe we need someone like a loose cannon.

Techno: Alright here’s the plan. If he- If he comes in we- we just stab him to death like three times canonically and then he gets kicked off the server and then we’re good.

*Phil wheezes and slams his mouse on the desk*

Phil: You can’t do that.

Techno: Phil.

Phil: He’s helped us.

Techno: Look (stammers) if it was any other room Phil. I would agree…But how are we gonna move this table, Phil?

*Phil laughs*

Techno: Something’s gotta move. And it- it’s clearly not gonna be- Can you move the table?

Phil: Nah I definitely-

Techno: Because I can’t move the table.

Phil: Definitely can’t move the table.

Techno: This table is unmovable. *Phil laughs* Which means we remove the other guy that finds it, alright.

Phil: (whilst laughing) Oh damn.

Thinking about how the last time we see c!Tubbo, he’s the oldest he will ever be

#c!tubbo #tubbo #tubbo fanart #dsmp tubbo #dsmp #dsmp fanart #dream smp #still young he’s only just started his life!!!! yet he’s lived through more that he ever should have #aaauugh tearing out my hair #If I think about him too hard I cry #anyway this was my last art for 2022 and I’m quite happy with the result #I’ll post the comparison between my first tubbo art ever and this my most recent.. it’s been a journey #dawnsart #dream smp fanart

[demonstars]

I can watch other stuff but anyone who’s been at all negative to Dream I can’t

sorry for having dsmp demons for the most ungrateful of his nepo kids. cTubbo is the love of my fucking life.

#but outside of dsmp vods that I lived through I get you Like dream neg it's an instant block and forgotten #I remember when scha/fillas made like a dream trending joke and I had to pause the video and walk. it wasn't even neg I think #star anons

[apollos-boyfriend]

time to rant about my eggpire madoka au ^_^ this will not be spoiler free in the SLIGHTEST for madoka magica so take this as your warning to skip this post if you don’t want to see any of that

so to start with kyubey is ofc the egg. instead of being impartial and apathetic, only serving to fight against entropy, the egg utilizes magical girls’ energy source for itself, kind of like what it does in-canon with people’s life force. magical girl being used very loosely, as it’s very much a unisex position. i’m not sure if it’d look like kyubey or like, some sort of sentient plant though. maybe something more similar to what bebe looks like in rebellion.

bbh is homura, and skeppy is madoka! their story largely follows the same track, with skeppy already being a magical girl when he and bad first meet, only to die to walpurgisnacht, so i’m making dreamXD for now, but it’s not something i’m too solid about. bad makes his contract with the egg, wishing to be able to redo his first meeting with skeppy, and to be the one protecting him. bad gets thrown into a time loop of the same month, constantly trying and failing to save skeppy from his death, desperate to do anything for his safety.

ant is mami, although his wish differs from hers and is closer to dsmp canon, having wished for velvet to be brought back. punz is kyoko, with their wish having been for people to listen and follow dream’s preachings. and ponk is sayaka, whose wish was for sam’s hands to miraculously heal so he could invent again. that of course makes sam kamijo, and foolish hitomi.

the events follow the canon of madoka magica as closely as possible. ant still dies to bebe (or whatever bebe’s witch is called), punz still arrives to be his replacement, ponk still falls into despair as she sees foolish and sam happily together, and punz still dies killing ponk’s witch form. XD still attacks, bad still tries to fight it alone, and skeppy still puts an end to it all with his wish and contract. the real major difference is that after seeing all the horrors of the world of magical girls, skeppy’s wish isn’t to end their suffering, like madoka’s was. he’s just fucking annoyed and tired and done with having to witness it all, so he wishes to kill all witches before they’re born so he (and no one else) has to continue putting up with this shit. its not really that much of an act of selflessness, it’s just that after bad explained to him the time loop and all of that, he could not fucking stand the idea of going through all this again, whether he could remember it or not. anyways he ascends to godhood yadda yadda i could go into rebellion as well but it’s late so. maybe another night. this is for the extremely niche 0.00000000001% of my followers that are as obsessed with the eggpire and pmmm as i am <3

#icarus speaks #eggpire magica au #<- i’ll come up with a better name later. probably not #where’s hannah you may ask? #she’s bebe #OH her witch name is charlotte. sick #she’s the witch that kills ant and gets killed by bad <3 sorry queen #i just felt bad actually killing her. since nagisa/bebe lives technically through madoka and the law of constants or whatever it’s called #LAW OF CYCLES #idk who madokas family is dont ask that’s too much #her little brother is sapnap or whatever that’s all i got #but yeah <333 the brainrot is Bad #i have another madoka au with tinarose as the lead #but i don’t actually have a lot worked out beyond the two of them #i however have been thinking about this for fucking months #it is a miracle i have only spoken about it like. once before. bc i think it is my masterpiece #like. the dsmp themes of bad being a demon and skeppy being his crystal angel. madoka being a god and homura being a devil post-rebellion #IT ALL MAKES SENSE

「 Dream SMP Daemon AU 」

    ♠ QUACKITY + JACINDA (MALLARD) ♠

An adaptable, opportunistic, resourceful species of duck, mallards can be found almost anywhere in the world, to the extent that in many places, they are considered invasive pests. They are self-serving and independent sorts, as male ducks play no part in rearing their ducklings and abandon their mates once she’s laid her clutch to go find and mate with as many other females as he can, forcefully if need be. However, mallards are not averse to working with others if it benefits them; they will lay their eggs in other mallards’ nests, live in flocks for safety, and forage with other dabbling ducks, as more ducks foraging in the same area stirs up more food. 

These persistent, ambitious, resilient birds do not shy away from risk; to combat the high mortality rate of egg clutches, females lay anywhere from twelve to eighteen eggs at a time, more than half her body weight, and if she loses her brood, she will mate again to replace it. In addition, mallards are filter feeders and will eat basically anything, taking up water and mud in their bills and filtering out inedible bits, though this can sometimes lead to them getting poisoned with pollutants. 

As prey animals, they are highly alert, paranoid, and anxious; even when sleeping, they always have one eye open, with half of their brain remaining active so they’re never caught unawares. When they are faced with predators, their first instinct is to display defensive manipulation behaviors such as feigning injury, playing dead, or outright fleeing instead of attacking head on, though they will do so to defend themselves, their mates, or ducklings.

Q is exploitative, judgmental, and dramatic, while Jaci is their more cooperative, tolerant, practical side.

~

NAME MEANING “Jacinda” is the Spanish feminine form of Hyacinth, from water hyacinth, an invasive species of aquatic plant. Hyacinths mean jealousy in the language of flowers, but they can also be symbols of playful joy/mischievousness, mourning, or requesting forgiveness.

having chat open during lore streams really breaks the drama, my dumbass wouldn’t have thought of stasis chambers for tommy or anything until like an hour after the stream

#tommyinnit #dsmp #dream smp #mcyt #like there are so many ways he could live through this #but for the story he’s probably gonna die #i mean character-wise c!tommy wouldn’t think of that but man

[mmaebee]

eret and wilbur lore today and i desperately want a hamilton ‘dying is easy young man, living is harder’ moment between them about their respective betrayals and learning to live in acceptance with what happened

#dsmp #c!wilbur #c!eret #dream smp #eret dsmp #wilbur dsmp #wilbur soot dsmp #the eret #wilbur soot #eret #idk how to tag things I just am filled with emotions about Them #it feels more and more like cwilbur is gonna Do A Flip again and I Cannot have that happen to my boy #and I feel like ceret is like one of the only people who could talk him through living; quiet existence and learning to live again #rather than another big dramatic gesture and death to let him exit stage right; living is harder but living has to be worth it

“Oh yeah those are my c!Philza headcanons :)”

I say pointing to a few thousand years of extra backstory never so much as hinted at by the source material that carefully develops all the bits of his character I like best.

Well it's 3am, time to add another 1000 words to my wip then shake 2020!Tubbo by his shoulders because why the fuck is it so hard to find anything relevant in your vods outside of the August 2nd one???

#holly's writing thoughts #I am going to develop a personal vendetta against Mr Underscore istg #I wasted so much time scouring his available vods yesterday for the white flags speech or honestly anything useful #and like it's cool I have until Sunday to finish this thing #I've switched to looking through Tommy's vods which are much more helpful so thank god for that #It's one thing to know there is a lack of preservation of Tubbo's dsmp vods and another to live in this lore-less hell #love that you spent 5 hours transporting villagers that one time but did anything happen lore-wise for 5 minutes during then? no? okay #the Tubbo section in the camarvan chapter is courtesy of Sapnap's vod and my own spite #if Tubbo only appears once in the war chapter then that's his own damn fault

[bugflies00]

the thing with techno and how it hasnt really hit yet and at the same it hurts so much is like. okay so it’s like a door right. and you know behind the door there’s the sun! you dont see it every day, but every now and again it peeks out, and when it doesn’t you still know it’s behind that door, waiting. its there, even when you don’t see it. and then one day a gust of wind blows the door open and all of a sudden its night time and its not there anymore

#im like ctommy in that i will use random analogies that only make sense to me to work through shit #-> kinnie moment #like i barely posted abt techno on here im aware. bc by the time i made this blog (jan. 2022) he wasnt online much already #but like he’s one of those guys i first started watching. the first dsmp arc i Actually watched live was bedrock bros. so its weird idk #because it means rhe entire time ive been in this fandom he was one of the most like. Stable? elements of it? like he was always There ykno #idk how to phrase it but point is yeah door analogy moment . i dont know. #alex.rambles.txt #cc!techno #mcyt #tw death #tommys stream kicked me in the guts and made me think abt shit again

[metaphysicae]

so no one was going to tell me that i live in the same 50 mile radius as a member of the dsmp and mr beast or was i just meant to stumble across that fact

#what thebfuck man #i was talking to a person on my floor and ze mentioned waiting for the face reveal or whatever #i have no vested interest in the dsmp but i know a bit through osmosis so i was like #’wouldnt it be fucked up if he went to college here’ #and they said ‘well mr beast and karl live in blah blah’ #THIS IS UPSETTING TO ME.

Dude I’m just so obsessed with the fiancés (mostly c!Sapnap). Like, I just love them so much. It’s frankly absurd.

They’ve been dead since 2021 and it’s almost 2023 and 90% of my artistic energy goes straight into these three. I like to draw them, and my notes app is mostly Even my post it notes at work are just some variation of KSQ. I have no idea to explain it.

#personal #dsmp #maybe it’s because I have a fascination with polyamorous relationships #I’m not quite sure why cause I haven’t even dated a single person in my life nevermind two #it’s quite strange to me how as fiancés died #it had the same vibes as my own poly OCs #particularly where one of them left on their own for a little bit then left and everyone was gone #then when he reunited with them one of them was antagonistic and focused on the bad things #the funny part is that my OCs Third lost their memories #technically they died and resurrected as a demon king #but you know #same difference #except where fiancés ended is where my OCs’ story starts #anyway #I really like Karlnapity #I live vicariously through them #the DSMP as a whole is like all of my obsessions shoved into one #and I didn’t even have to write it myself

I have been crying for the past 30 mins because of the new tommyinnit video.

#dsmp #i have been in the fandom for a year and i can confidently day that this has been one of the best years of my life #THE best even #my friend introduced me to the dsmp and ever since then i have not been the same person #in a positive way #i cannot thank them enough #to think that this little server helped me live through my lowest points and allowed me to form a bond with my friend #its so stupid #but its kinda fitting #thank you dsmp and thank you megi #xxmonik talks
