Rules for new tumblr users

I'm sure people will have seen other mcyt blogs first and they've all given warnings but I'm just making this to pin at the top of my blog and so I can edit it when I inevitably realise I've forgotten something.

General ground rules:

If you have a default profile picture, blog and haven't reblogged anything, you will likely get blocked as a potential spam account. It doesn't have to be a lot, just search the tags for some of your interests and reblog some cool art or something.

You have to curate your own dashboard on tumblr. Search and follow the tags of things you enjoy, find users within those tags you want to see more from, follow and reblog posts from them. And if you aren't enjoying yourself, don't be afraid to unfollow people again (we don't usually pay attention to follower counts) and block tags/people if you really aren't happy seeing them.

If you want to keep things nice and neat, most of us will have a main blog (the one you get when you join the website) and then for any particularly strong interests will have a side blog. You can't like or follow from side blogs, but you can reblog things easily and people can follow side blogs if they share that interest with you. You can even make group blogs by going to the side bar of your sideblog and clicking 'members'!

Don't censor words, especially in the tags. You won't get reported or 'shadowbanned' for saying words like 'kill' or 'fuck' and if you do censor them then people who have them as blocked words and may be triggered by them will see them anyway.

When you join tumblr, there will automatically be sections showing what you've liked and who you've followed publically visible on your blog. Not only can you make these invisible in your settings, but we actively encourage it! People don't usually pay attention to them anyway but it's easier for you to like the things you want when you know people won't see them and judge you.

If you want to have a conversation with other people and get replies, put what you want to say in the main text of reblogs. If you're just trying to add a funny comment or say things without people responding to them, put it in the hashtags or as a reply. It means you can reblog things from other people without also having to reblog hundreds of people's random little comments.

Mcyt specific:

If you're gonna make posts, use 'mcyt' rather than the word 'mine/craft' when you're tagging. That tag is reserved for people who want to talk about the game and if you start talking about your blorbos in their tag, you will be told off for it. Same with tags where the word is included, use (e.g. use mc championships instead of the full name because it will still get picked up by the game's tag)

There are people in the mcyt communities on tumblr who ship and will post about those ships in the main tags. I'm personally not one of those people and try to avoid it where possible but you will inevitably come across it. If that's not your thing, don't make posts raving about how terrible it is or start harrassing them. If you don't want to see it just block the people doing it, block the relevant tags and move on. The communities here are pretty good at tagging their stuff using 'hermitshipping' for hermitcraft, 'trafficshipping' for the life series, 'empireshipping' for empires, and 'dsmpshipping' for dream smp. I don't think it happens much for dsmpblr but the others it's a regular occurence.

A lot of us (including myself) don't want to be noticed by content creators! We were here first and for the people who write fics or make art, they may feel uncomfortable posting if there's a chance a CC will see it. I believe Aimsey's now saying there's an 'Aimsey look' tag that they will go through each week so only people who wanted to be noticed will be, and I know we can't really do much to stop CCs going through the hashtags but just don't @ them in posts unless they're your own or OP specifically says you can.

No drama please! This is supposed to be a chill space and people moving over from twitter aren't going to ruin that. We've been here longer than you have, so you're the guests under our house rules. This is especially the case when it comes to MCCs. Leave Scott and Noxcrew be!

This is a personal one but please don't complain to me about buildmart. Yes I know people hate it and think it's unfair but I and other people here really enjoy it so I will simply block people who complain about it. We're all entitled to opinions but it's really tiring to see people shit on it once a month every month.

your tags are the eeverything ever im on my laptop so i cant sc them and add them to the post but believe me i would and if i remember later i will. youre so fucking RIGHTTT its the condensation of the story into LORE into 'big streams' or episodes and in part thats bc of how the fandom treated lore and how it got turned into a big Thing that has to be very Streamlined and its a Lore Stream (yet they wont. plan it 😭) and Aurgghhh its pretty sad. but atp id rather actually see season four retconning than have to sit through another HUGE EVENT ON THE DREAM SMP!! (DEATH) (DRAMA) and then have no follow up on it

TBH I feel like everyone being busier definitely contributes to that bc like the Burger Plotline was supposed to be several streams over which we would likely have gotten a lot of little moments and interactions that showed us a lot about the characters and that had to get condensed to a WRITTEN STORY...

So it would not surprise me at all if there was supposed to be a lot more in-between but it kept getting condensed into five streams, then three, then One Big Stream simply because it's so hard to get everyone together now. Like that's why I think they need to be wrapping things up because if it's that much of a hassle to get multiple people on the server at the same time then the thing that made the story so interesting is sort of already gone at this point? Not that it was only interesting because people streamed Daily but like, that sort of "improv lore" that Tubbo always says he misses can't really come back because nobody is ever online enough for it (and when I say Nobody I mean rarely any people that have been here long enough for c!Tubbo to have history w them)

So like I do think part of the reason that lore has been so sparse is because of scheduling, it isn't Only that but what could have been several streams gets condensed into one huge stream where so many things happen that there isn't really time for the characters to react properly and we don't get to see any of the aftermath because they don't log on... In a story about grief and humanity we aren't getting to see c!Tubbo grieve or be human much at all, because if he logs on it's either for Lore that has a clear goal in mind and not a lot of time for us to see into his mind or it's just to mess around and we don't get to see his character's thoughts/emotions then anyways ...

There is nothing wrong with "big event" lore streams but at some points it sort of seems like events are planned just for the sake of having a "big event" happen and not because they actually make sense for the characters involved.

Idk I know it's easier said than done but if Wilbur has sat down and written out an ending that he's slowly working his way through at like 1-2 streams per month I feel as though others should look to him as an example, like I wish they would sit and genuinely assess "How much fun am I genuinely having doing lore CURRENTLY (not in the past), how much free time do I have right now/am I expecting to have," & make a decision based on that

#^ also w the Improv Lore thing... ppl have said before that it was a lot easier to do in the beginning of the server when ppl didnt have a #ton of characterization yet and thats very true. but also I feel like the term ''improv lore'' has sort of been twisted into something it #isnt. like c!Eret's betrayal wasnt improv lore. cEret and cWilbur planned that. They didnt have a Script #and they didnt tell other ppl so the Lmanbergians reactions were genuine... but that was Planned Lore.#the election results were not really ''improv'' because they had different plans based on what happened. the festivak and nov 16th were #planned. like everyone wants ''improv lore'' but i dont feel like a lot of ppl including Tubbo realize that big lore events are rarely ever #improv. ''improv lore'' is mostly for characters having little interactions or doing side-plots. cBeeduo building their hotel was improv #and it didnt go anywhere..... because improv lore rarely does. its sort of supposed to be self-contained to a couple of streams and if it #isnt then you need to actually Plan how/why it will be relevant or it doesnt really go anywhere...#so to me Tubbos plan to ''log on and see what happens'' aka to try and do mostly improv lore doesnt seem like it will work #asks #negativity #this is not cc critical again its their characters and they know their lore plans and schedules better than i do #long post

same anon but i'm a bit dumb... was going to ask, what mediamates have you reconnected with and do you have any suggestions on how to meet them?

so ive reconnected with some in a few ways! personally, im alright with chatting with fictives and kins and counting them as my mediamates, and i have quite a few friends who kin or are IRLs from the dream smp! usually, i join discord servers(whether that be kin or IRLs because i do still kin other characters even though im cwilbur soot irl) and try to make friends through there.

i also have a tiktok where i post edits and use the tag dsmpirlsinteract and try to follow other IRLs and message them!

also, tumblr is a good place, i know there are kin calls, where kins, fictives and IRLs all send out messages to look for mediamates, and i used to message a lot of people via there!

thats my explaination on how i reconnected, but mediamates i have reconnected with isss

ive chatted with a lot of tommys over the time, and lots of quackitys(i used to sctivrly seek out chatting to quackitys but now not so much), and a few tubbos though i dont talk with them often. also a few nikis, i believe ive chatted to a phil once or twice(but not enough :(( id love to chat to any phils) and same with technos. i believe i talked to a dream irl once who was pretty chill. also a fundy, but wuite a few of these are like close friends or people i know! eg im very close friends with two tommy kins, a tubbo, a niki my bf is a quackity irl, and one of my best friends is a fundy kin(though bat isnt in the kinshift often) but i would LOVE to talk to more! literally any mediamates can reach out to me and message me here and im happy to chat, talk mems, and more!

when i ran moobloom, that(dc server)was also a place for mediamates to meet other mediamates! so you could also make your own dc server and advertise it

also, other sources that im happy chatting with mediamates from, in case anyone is interested

yttd

most bursonas aside from ghostbur(phantombur, simpbur, tommyinnit mod videos, rustbur, etc etc)

karmaland 4 and 5

smaller smps, like lifesteal, kaboodle

various anime sources(bsd, csm, jjba, death note)

so if anyone is from any of those, kin, irl, fictive snd you wanna chat, my messages are open!

but anon i really do hope that this helps explain! and if youre a mediamate from dsmp or any of the above sources, or even if youre not! if you just wanna chat, im happy to!

#im not entirely sure what to tag this as #mediamates #sourcemates #sourcemates interact #mediamates interact #dream smp #i think ive tagged this right #I LIED WE'RE A SYSTEM

idk its 8am, no sleep, and i feel like complaining and ranting so... ? anyway

sometimes i understand duo names and group names in the mcyt fandom like. like clingyduo is an old one and they sort of did that themselves. sbi is way shorter than ‘wilbur, phil, tommy, and techno’ plus they did it themselves.

and i understand it (different duo names) in the context of like. platonic shipping or romantic shipping in like, the character sense with story based things like the dream smp, though i do think it can sometimes get very confusing to use these duo names since sometimes these names are used for both cc!s and c!s.

more under cut, long post

but i. really do not understand duo names for people who very rarely interact on a regular basis? or where the duo names get longer or are the same amount of effort as just saying someone’s name. also when the something-duo is such an obscure reference or comes from a singular stream or video and is never like, an ongoing bit or reference.

like. angel duo is tommy & phil, and sure they may be really good friends but the only connection this duo name makes between these two is the ‘angel’ bit, which alludes to wings. but tommy has only ever canonically had wings in origins smp, which he streams once in a blue moon, and for a season it wasnt even confirmed it was just implied that he had bird wings, just that he could fly. most people don’t know tommy & phil are apart of angel duo.

or i think i’ve seen socket duo for wilbur and grian? they’re an interesting pair & dynamic! and i get it, their mc faces look like electric sockets. but not only is that not a joke that is made between them, but they dont interact much outside of crouching in mcc (and talking about each other occasionally). like they talk! they’re probably friends! but they dont make content together, i genuinely dont understand how ‘socket duo’ is easier than ‘wilbur and grian’. most people dont know what socket duo is.

and like, i think duo names are fun! and group names can be helpful when you have multiple people! like the pummel party crew, or feral/crew boys, etc, they have 4+ people in it. but not only do they call themselves these names, but its a reference constantly made and would be easy to pick up on. its also not helpful when they have many names? like slimecicle, tommy and wilbur are autotune trio, boat crew, and i believe now also the exorcism trio????

these niche duo names are... getting really hard to keep track of? like, did you know foolish and tubbo are beets duo? or tubbo and niki are baguette duo? or phil and ranboo are promise duo?

if you make a post, only saying duo names, sometimes it can be really hard to tell who you’re talking about. it’s even worse when duos have multiple names?

ranboo and tommy are both allium duo and loyal duo. ranboo and wilbur are burger, static, and radio duo. then you have cases like tommy and dream, where disc duo refers to their characters on the dream smp, and prime duo refers to their content creators. and i know some of these are niche but i think that’s a little bit of the problem because i’ve seen all of these used multiple times only to find out who is apart of them in tags, if that even helps. context doesnt always help either because it could be referring to characters, real people, or people who haven't interacted much at all.

some of these duo names are made upon people or characters only having one or two interactions. eryn and eret are called tax duo. this is because their characters on the dream smp both proposed taxes, at wildly different seasons, and had one main interaction with each other.

other duo names contain just as many words as saying the people (someone and someone)

i don’t know if it’s just me, but i usually have to look up duo names if i even care enough about a post to do so.

and again, i think they’re fine! like, i adore crime boys, sleepy boys inc, etc. but at least these names are used by the cc!s constantly. and they also reference things more than niche jokes made once in a stream that may not even have a full vod.

I’ve never seen anyone outside of like, fandom space call tommy and phil angel duo, or wilbur and grian socket duo, or beets duo or all the countless other ones i couldnt even name here. there’s so many. they also sometimes just don’t make sense and come from a singular niche joke from when they first met or something that isnt obvious?? it genuinely makes it so hard to tell who someone is talking about.

the distinction of some duos having separate names for shipping purposes, others not, or for content creators, others not. (on the dream smp, /r for characters tubbo and ranboo’s marriage is still referred to as beeduo. but /r character quackity and wilbur is quackbur, and tntduo is reserved for /p. and people get upset if you mix these up)

i dunno. it just feels overkill sometimes, making a duo the moment two people interact, and they could never interact again but people will call them an iconic duo and beg for more content between this duo named off of a singular joke or trait.

that’s just.. friends? people interacting? person one and person two?

is it... that hard to just say ‘this post is about person and person on this server or in this video and im going to gush or talk or do whatever it is’

or at the very least tag the people you’re talking about in the tags, or clarify? if you mention them more than once say their names, then refer to them as their group for the rest? i dunno.

i guess this is a nitpick. im not gonna main tag this in anything so just ask to tag if you want it tagged as something

i just think its increasingly difficult to keep track the more people interact with each other or do meet ups or join servers for the first time and duos are made up for every pair you can make like we’re doing combinations in math

we’re doing this with people.

i dont know this ^^ this i stopped paying attention to math my senior year of highschool. it’s gone from my brain.

#lemon's stuff #long post #rant #ramble #vent #ig?? those tags in case

LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME BUILD MY SH*T! (Preview)

Notes: So for those who like read my introduction and one of the parts that mentioned of me not updating or rather updating 'I update my stories in a slow pace due to school and having too much ideas to make.' Yep this is one of the ideas I got stuck with instead of focusing on my current stories 😂😂 but honestly this idea is something I couldn't help but write especially it is a Crossover of SAGAU (Self Aware Genshin Impact) and this is very much well known if you read the tags XD

But anyways enjoy this preview despite some parts might not appear but depends on my choice XD

P.S: Forgive me if this preview is cringe TwT I tried my best to make it badass for you guys

Also I had to remove and change stuff to avoid spoilers of this story considering this is a legit preview lol hopefully I got the preview right XD

Warnings: Mention of Characters Death (Don't kill me this is a preview please 💀😂) Swearing, angst, mention of blood and bloodlust

Teyvat

A continent that serves as the primary region of all seven regions.

Mondstadt

Liyue

Inazuma

Sumeru

Fontaine

Natlan

And

Snezhnaya.

However Teyvat also had another region or rather another island that floats in the sky above Teyvat its self

That place was called Celestia.

It is know where Gods are said to reside and the people of Teyvat thought of Celestia as a place where mortal ascend to Godhood will be in Celestia.

No one knew what Celestia was.

Only the gods knew.

But what they didn't expect

Was that.

Celestia

Is Destroyed

-----------------------------------------------------------

"What the fuck?…"

You stood in confusion and shocked. Instead of the Dream SMP prison, you found yourself in an unknown greeny land that you don't recognize. Your wings were ruffled and your chat was loudly screaming and staying still in shock.

"…"

"What the fuck?" One of the chat broke the silence.

Same thoughts and same words.

"Where the hell am I?!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"The only thing that works in this world…"

A (f/c) cloak was shown to be in one of the standing hangers as the scene the flash to the outside with a crow flying above the sky.

"Is that your treat others as they treat you…"

Qiqi could be seen holding Baizhu's hand as both of them look at the crow that flew above them. You could be seen writing as a crow flew in your windowsill.

"Those that have treated me with kindness."

Diona gave you a drink she made as you patted her head, Razor recieved some headpats as your crows in the background taunt the wolves, You told stories to Fischl who became enourmed while Oz flew by getting chased by the chat and Bennett was being healed and bandage by you as you worried scold him that he didn't have to defend you when his life is in danger but he didn't care and laughed it off.

"I will repay that kindness tenfold."

XiangLing gave you food as you both talk about food and your adventures. Xingqiu reading one of the books you have with interest and Chongyun giving you Popsicle. Qiqi and Baizhu giving you medical herbs or medicine along with them showing you the direction of your journey and Shenhe defending you and protecting you from Cloud retainer.

Itto and Sayu helped you out of Inazuma with Sayu secretly showing you the directions under Yae Miko who knew you were the true creator. Both of you had a conversation in a secret area as Yae signed that her nation and friend have become blind fools for not recognizing you as the creator and following the fake imposter who stood in your throne being a tyrant.

"And those that treat me with injustice!"

You flew away from Venti's arrows before shooting him with fireworks which you cackled hearing his shocked of pain as you flew off quickly.

"That use me."

You clashed with Kaeya who struggled in parring your attacks as your eyes were menacing red when he almost made you kill some innocent civilians who are just trying to show everyone thag creator they know was a fake only you were lucky you see through his manipulation.

"That hunt me down."

You ran and flew from the angry mob chasing you from the nations cursing in annoyance.

"That hurt my friends!"

Bennett's body felt cold just like Razor's body that was bleeding though a hole that came from his chest. Amy was crying as you hugged her while your eyes then slowly became red feeling the bile of disgust and anger that they just killed two innocent people because of not worshipping their so called creator

And

For helping an imposter

'Fuck them!' you thought in anger as the voices appeared in your head again.

THEY WILL DIE

THEY WILL DIE!

T H E Y

W I LL

D I EEEEEEE!!

BLOOD!!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!

Itto fought against Ayato yelling at him for killing a young two boys for their treason. You growled as you your wings lifted up menacingly as you stared at your faker who smirked but then hesitated quickly once they saw how bright red your eyes were.

You wore your outfit and you spread your wings before placing your hat on your head.

"I shall repay that injustice a thousand times over."

Smoke filled around the area as Traveler looked around in cation with Amber readying her bow and Eula behind her. Jean and Lisa stood next to eachother until-

"AETHER LOOK OUT!"

"!!!"

You emerge from the smoke in front of Aether who was caught off guard and-

"Peek a boo!" You sadistically smirked as your (e/c) changed to blood red.

You went in for the kill.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I'm just someone who wanted to go home"

He watched you look at the cold lake of Dragonspine in sorrow.

"The Minecraft family used to be what a family would be but"

You cried loudly as you held your mother's cold hand as you both felt your wings and saw your father's wings turn black knowing you both lost a love one.

"Mom succumbed to her death when my brother Tommy was still 6 years old that time. That day changed our lives…especially dad left with Techno…"

You watched your father leaving with Techno and you could hear Wilbur yelling in his room making you look at Tommy who looked at the two fading figures before looking at you with tears in his eyes.

His eyes held confusion and hurt.

"You won't leave me like them…right?"

You bend down to his level and softly touch his cheek, "Never. I will never will you my sunshine"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I told you Ei! I told you many times that the Divine creator you have been working with was none other then a fake" Yae looked at Ei who slumped down as you could see her eyes swarming with guilt in them.

"I-"

"No excuses," Yae cut her off, "You knew you should have been suspicious when that faker suddenly starts throwing tantrums and made stupid executions on the people of Teyvat"

"…"

Ei looked down at her Dango milk in sadness.

What would Makoto think of you?

She did everything to make the creator proud.

And yet you ruined it for her and not realizing sooner that you served an imposter.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Y-Your Grace p-please-"

"Excuse my language but shut the fuck up"

Everyone shivered and Venti winced at your tone. Your wings stretched before revealing it's ruffled feathers showing you are annoyed and irritated. Rubedo smirked as he tossed the wither skull up and down on his hand while menacingly staring down on the roof at Albedo who glared at him.

"Say Travel-No Aether"

Aether gulped and tensed up when he felt his hair go up really quick as he saw your eyes flashed the same red color that he almost died seeing if it weren't for Kaeya push him from getting his head chopped off.

You jumped off the hands of the Barbatos statue as you flap your wings down slowly before lifting up the wither skull in your hand.

"Do you want to be a hero again Aether?" You spat his name coldly.

Everyone felt the dreaded feeling again the moment they saw the same unknown skull that Rubedo had is now on your hand. No body moved until they saw Rubedo jumped off the roof and then-

"THEN DIE LIKE ONE!"

Two Withers has appeared in Mondstadt and that was the destruction of the City of Freedom.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Nothing remains the same"

"Nothing besides remains"

You watch all nations' city, towns and homes fell into ruins and flames. Your black wings stretched at the magnificent sight of destruction.

You put the wither skull into your face stared through its holes that held nothing but you could see the TNT destroying more areas.

"Hate to say it but… you are right Dream"

Your eyes became red as you felt yourself grinning in amusement heard the same voices that you and Techno heard telling you that they are calling for blood.

“I’m just like Techno and Wilbur combined…But I’m the one who loves see pain and blood swim together on victims even more~"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"You just want forgiveness of your God not mine"

You looked down coldly at them.

"I'll bite I dont give a damn when I'm just a player who wants to go home and be with her brother"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Like I said, I don't really give a damn when these people could have just treat me as a normal person instead of an imposter"

"They brought this upon theirselves after all"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Yep this is a preview of my next story I'm making HHAHAHAHAHAHA

TLDR, because of preexisting biases and subtleties in story telling methods, c!Philza was set up to fail from the start. Whichever direction he took his character, a big chunk of the fandom was going to hate him. Props to Philza for choosing an interesting path and getting himself there as gracefully as possible. I’ll use everyone’s names to refer to the content creators unless specified otherwise. If you feel like I overlook or misinterpret anything please give your opinion in the tags, comments, or wherever else you like!

My first thought is with how he came into the story. c!Philza is the only character on the SMP to have plot points and head canons set in stone by other people before the creator even got to develop their storyline. He was set up as a paragon hero dad who would just solve all the problems in the story. To live up to that role he would need to protect every member of the SBI (and whoever else the fandom decided) from any form of conflict. That’s like if Gandalf flew with the eagles to destroy the Ring as soon as Bilbo found it in the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings just never happens. Sure, great, Frodo isn’t psychologically tortured by the Ring for three books, but where is our story?

That argument is only looking at the extreme end of the spectrum. A less extreme argument is that even if he isn't perfect, Philza should have tried a little harder to protect “his kids.” What does that phrase mean? c!Wilbur? He was dead, and there have been a lot of posts on whether c!Phil had to kill him, but from a creator point of view, Wilbur wrote that in. Philza could only decide how he was going to work with it. Philza had his character struggle with how to deal with those emotions and guilt over whether what he did was right. He tried to figure out what had broken his son so terribly and when he found the source he tried to stop a tragedy like that from ever occurring again. He still isn’t over it, but he has taken steps towards trying to make things right as he understands things. Tommy didn’t even know people thought Phil was his dad until either Tubbo or a donation brought it up weeks after November 16th. Philza has said before that as far as he’s aware, his only canonical son is c!Wilbur.

My only complaint about c!Philza is that some of his motivation feels cherry picked to end up on the same side as Techno. Can you blame Philza, though? Techno is the person Philza knows best on the server aside from Wilbur (who wasn’t actively in the plot at that point), and they love working together. I think we underappreciate Philza’s story telling skills in getting from point A to point B, and I think a lot of people missed how he got there.

Philza’s story telling is very subtle compared to what we’re used to on the SMP. Tommy will tell us every stream that his current motivation is to get his disks back or to build a hotel. Techno will give us soliloquies about his current feelings and speeches on why c!Techno thinks he’s right. Philza does some of these things, but he also frequently uses little aside comments and builds things up gradually enough that if you’re not paying attention you miss things. In addition a lot of the details are cleared up by questions in his donations, and most people who dislike his character probably don’t watch his whole streams. This leads to confusion about what c!Philza wants and why he does things that ends with people concluding that he’s just a bad person or a poorly written character.

The last point I want to make is the amount of hate he gets in comparison to characters with similar values (namely c!Techno). Because of the story telling differences even people who don’t agree with c!Techno have an easier time understanding his reasoning and are less predisposed to hate him. Techno also explains when certain head canons don’t line up with his character and is very assertive when fandom needs to stay separate to make the story work. There are more people ready to defend Techno because his fanbase is bigger. c!Philza comes with a more complicated backstory, and he’s an easier target for anyone who is upset at the destruction of L’manburg or that he didn’t come in and fix everything like they wanted him to.

Philza was given a difficult foundation to build his character off of, and c!Philza isn’t perfect but he shouldn’t be. The nuance is what makes him and his story interesting. If you dislike the character for his flaws, I’m glad you’re able to be invested in the story and I hope you continue to enjoy it! But there’s a line between analysis and bashing, and I think people could cross it a little less often.

#zablr am I doing it right?#I love character discourse #I wish Phiza got more of it instead of the two same bashing posts repeated #can we get more cc!philza love please #philza #technoblade #not tagging tommy #I'm sure they're tired of these complaints #but that doesn't make the complaints less valid or important #dream smp #analysis #dream smp analysis #long post #discourse #meta #I didn't even get into treating his character as more than a dad #some people only know phil through other sbi content and it shows #mt's words

Welcome one and all to Mcytblr's Fancharacter Fest!

ID in alt is available!

Some info about it:

An art challenge started by me to celebrate mcytblr's creations! Fankids, fanpets and similar! All the words were chosen through a poll, 208 votes and the most popular option between three words was selected.

For art I don't only mean traditional and digital drawings, I also mean paintings, writing, singing, web weaving, anything that is creation :) go nuts with it and have lots and lots of fun :D

If anyone is wondering you can absolutely draw other people's fancharacters (as long as they allow it) and in fact, from me at least, you're encouraged to.

There's no obligation to make all 28 prompts, even just one that you like a lot.

You should post it on the day you've chosen, you don't have to make it on that day.

And don't worry if you're late to the party, you can post prompts you've missed, sometimes schedules are hard and posting on time is impossible, so no worries.

Also maybe you didn't know about this and you wanna make something. Go for it ^_^.

But! You can't post a prompt early, they have a specific date for a reason.

Tag for the art challenge will be #mcytblr's fancharacter fest

If you have any questions about anything my inbox is open :)

#mcytblr's fancharacter fest #mcyt fanart #and some tags where i know people look into and are interested in this #empires smp #lifesteal smp #hermitcraft #origins smp #dream smp #rare's things #rare rambling

Can i be enderman anon? anyways now that's all out of the way. God reader getting revived unexpectedly by dream? it's like - a really badass antagonist god that gets pulled out of the underworld, calling dream their "saviour" (but in a more satirical way instead of genuinely seeing the masked man as their hero cause in the past they've most likely called everyone that helped them their mighty helper to the point where the title feels overused and undesirable). They roamed the lands of the smp, bringing terror and hellfire across the overworld, letting their kept in rage stroll free. They end up in the tundra, the burning flakes of ashes getting lost in the harsh piles of snow. They happened to have stumbled upon the cottages of two immortal gods that they may or may not have used to know. Wonder what'll happen? i would like to see your take in this.

- enderman anon

AHHH IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I DONT KNOW IF YOULL EVEN READ THIS STILL BUT TY FOR THE REQUEST IT ISNT THE BEST QUALITY IM SORRY :[[[

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You almost don't recognize the sensation of grass against your calloused and rough hands. You were in the void playing solitaire with Schlatt and Mexican Dream, and the next thing you knew you were suddenly pulled harshly by the back of your collar, falling on your spine. The looming mask of Dream is what stood above you, but he looked different. Longer hair, smelly, wearing a stained lime green jumpsuit with ‘0001' sewn into it and covered in cuts, scars and bruises. But before you could even question why Dream was suddenly there, he stepped back into the void, the void slowly surrounding and consuming him the further he went backwards. His now bony hand is still tightly gripped onto the back of your shirt, so while struggling your body is also enveloped in darkness. All it took was one blink and there you were on a patch of grass, staring at the pale blue sky.

"Huh."

Was all that came out of your mouth. You were still shocked at the turn of events that just happened, but no longer grounded. A running river nearby stunned your senses. How long had you been dead? It felt like years, but when you look around at the familiar forest you died in, not much had changed except for a couple newly planted saplings here and there. The swirling ashes you remembered before you died had all settled and compressed into the soil.

The river showed a strange reflection of yourself- your features have clearly sunken into your skull and there's a streak of white hair coming from your scalp along with words in fancy gold letters on your arm reading,

"May thy woes and hurt of the past no longer eradicate the upwards of this lost souls future. Allow thine to be praised by Ender themselves and be granted another chance at mortality."

Scrubbing or picking at your arm did nothing, so onwards you went walking along the forest to what you remember being a bustling "community".

Each mound of dirt you saw only brought memories of your death, of the place and people who sought to treat you like you were disposable. And now that you’re alive, you hate that they technically ended up being right. Your death; alone in a forest. Running away from the unexpected attacker, ashamed and too prideful to die in the prying eyes of your enemies. It fills you with rage, all the lives taken by your hands and for what? You weren’t overreacting, you knew that for sure. And before you knew it, you stole some fresh flint and steel from a random chest and got to work.

You had always wanted to touch the fires you set. The soothing feeling you got from watching wood burn to char and ashes satisfied you. And it made it all the more euphoric to know it was trees of your manipulator's land. Running across the land, with flames as far as you could see when you looked behind you. The heat swirled around your neck and went into your nose, but the feeling was muscle memory at that point. You were still riding your high when a voice reached out to you, luckily when you were finally calm.

"What- Y/n? Hold on, is that really you Y/n..?"

You spin on your heels to the familiar manipulative British voice of a person you haven't seen in a long time.

"Wilbur?! Man, I haven't seen another person's face other than those two addicts in a while- you look different."

His eyes much like yours are sunken deep into his skull, purple-pink bags under his eyes and dull skin. Wilburs shocked lips fade into an opened mouth smile when he walks up to you with his hands momentarily confused on what they should do. Eventually, his right hand settles on clasping your left shoulder, giving it a friendly squeeze.

“Y/n it is so good to see you! You look quite different yourself, wouldn’t you think-? Oh, look! We’re matching!”

The grey streak in your hair seems to make another appearance when Wilbur briefly smacks it with his middle and pointer finger.

“Ay, it’s nice to see you too Wil, but back up for a second alright? I've got something to ask you by the way…”

Wilburs head peaks in interest, urging you to go on.

“I’m guessing that little streak in your hair wasn’t a fashion choice- and if it was it’s a bit strange- but how’d you get it? You died when you blew up L’manburg! I mean c'mon, people don’t just, well…REVIVE!”

He starts to walk. You aren’t quite sure where, but stumbling along with Wilbur while his arm is draped lazily atop your shoulders seems to suffice.

“Ahh Y/n, you’d be surprised. The most WONDERFUL thing happened, actually! Years and years in my hell of a train station; do you know who was at the subway door when it finally opened, Y/n? Dream!”

“Wh- Dream?!”

Appalled, you try to stop in your tracks but fail when wilburs arm is still pushing forward. His storytelling voice dies down to curiosity and excitement.

“Wait, did he save you too? He did, didn’t he? Oh, this is wonderful!”

Wilbur emits eagerism and you suddenly realize what you could do with his desperacy to be socially accepted. Putting on the most exaggerated and animated voice, you speak.

“Oh my god yeah! Gosh, that Dream guy is my hero! Thanks to him, I get to have another chance at living again, and isn’t that just…swell.”

In all honesty you didn’t really try hard to sound sincere but by the look of Wilbur, it seemed to work just fine.

“Right?! I’ve been meaning to visit him in the prison if you’d like to tag along with me the day I go? I’m sure he’d love to see you, since he revived you and all.”

Oh, you were sure Dream wanted to see you. He wants a boon- a trade. Why else would he revive two of the most historically significant people on the server if not to make some sort of deal with them? Sure, Wilbur is as gullible and carefree as ever but you at least still had scraps of mental stability and level-headedness that made you all the more a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention Wilbur doesn’t know that Dream killed you, but telling him that now would blow your act. You decide to keep your thoughts to yourself.

“Yeahh, sure! I’d love to go, just tell me when.”

And that’s the end of that conversation. The two of you walk to wherever Wilbur is going. It honestly surprised you how he couldn’t see through your apathy. From what you remembered, he was keen on being wise about people and their intentions but you guess years and years in hell do things to a person.

Somehow, you’re stuck in your mind for long enough that only now do you feel the sharp winter air making the hairs on your arms and legs stand straight up.

“Wait, snow?”

The tundra was a drastic contrast to the void you were once in with schlatt and Mexican Dream. Instead of black as far as you could see, it was a blinding powdery white.

‘Mexican Dream would’ve liked it here, probably would have tried to snort the snow like coke.’

You weren’t built for the snow, though. Hell- you didn’t even have a memory of anyone living in a tundra when you were alive! Why was Wilbur even in the tundra? You didn’t have the energy to ask, still feeling brittle and tired, back aching from laying on the dry dirt longer than expected earlier.

“Yeah, just figured I’d show you around! Plus I already need to grab a couple things from an ender chest and this was the closest by. I’m a very busy man, after all.”

But why were there so many footprints in the snow? As far as you knew, Wilbur was the only one who lived out in the tundra- and he didn’t seem like the active type at all. There were strange shapes as well, large hooved footprints. However, all thinking comes to a halt at the same time Wilbur does.

“We’re here! You might see some familiar faces cause I live with people.”

Well, that answers the footsteps as well as the tall red-caped piglin hybrid giving leftover bones and raw meat to a polar bear.

“TECHNO! TECHNO, HEY!”

He tenses up for a second, you could tell he wanted to be left alone but that didn’t really bother Wilbur. But you recognize him. The name and the apparel- that guy is Technoblade. The same Technoblade who stood by your side while the two of you blew L’manburg up for the last time, and now the Technoblade who resides in a cottage shrouded in snow.

“Technoblade?!”

Hearing your voice being carried by the crisp winter air, he turns around immediately to see you and Wilbur a few feet away. Techno stood there dumbfounded, but he didn’t know why. He wasn’t particularly joyed or ecstatic to see you, but he was at the very least happy to see an old ally back.

“Y/n? Oh my god, now we’ve got TWO of you? We don’t have room for another one, alright?”

For some it might be hard to see the meaning behind his words. Luckily you’ve talked to him enough to where you can tell he’s being playful.

“Don’t worry, I’ll just build directly on top of your house. Besides, who WOULDN'T want to be near me 24-7?”

“Me-“

“Oh f*ck off.”

You would’ve thought that that was Wilbur due to the similar accent, but there was something off. The slight gruffness and age, yet still succeeding in sounding mellow.

“Phil! How’s my favorite old bird doing?”

He gives you a face. Not a happy one like you expected, rather a face that says ‘really?’ Probably because of the old comment. The two of you briefly hug, Phil’s tattered wings stretching out slightly.

“I’m doing alright, are you okay? Here, would you like to come in? It’s pretty cold outside, you probably haven’t seen snow in a couple years.”

He wasn’t wrong after all. You were freezing your toes off and were itching for lemon tea. The kind Phil used to make when he, Technoblade and Dream discussed plans on destroying L’manburg. Ah, the good ol days…

“Of course! We’ve got a lot to talk about- you still have that old chess board?”

“Yes, but first you have some explaining to do about the fire over in that tree, Y/n. You just got back and you’re already burning down forests?!”

“Did someone say fire?”

Techno has an eager stride in his step once he also looks back to see the raging lights of orange and red in the nearby forest.

“Don’t worry Phil! It’s just- ahh, a controlled burn..?”

Your tone of voice is unsure when a black crow shoots down from the sky into the snow in front of you. It’s left wing is charred and has smoke dancing from the burn. Philza looks at you with a stern glare.

“Oh my f*cking god…that’s it! We’re all going inside now, you too Techno. I don’t want you and Y/n going on a rampage.”

⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒

You sat up from laying down when you heard your phone ring. You looked at the caller ID.

Felix.

"What's up Felix?" You ask with a small yawn.

"Aww, how sweet," You hear in the background.

You giggle and ask, "Is that Sean? Hi Sean!"

"Yeah, we're playing Among Us and need an extra player. You down?" Felix explained.

"Sure, just give me a few minutes. See you soon, whore"

"Bitc-" You hang up before he can finish.

You got up and turned off your TV, going to get ready.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

You quickly tweet out that you're going live and say something on your insta story as well. You start your stream and slowly watch people flood in.

"Hey everyone! How are you guys doing?" You wave and smile, reading the chat.

"Everyone doing good, awesome! And i'm sorry to anyone having a bad day. I hope i can brighten it a bit!"

"Okay, sorry i didn't give you a further notice. I didn't even know i was gonna stream. Felix invited me to play Among Us so... here we are!"

You quickly join the discord and pull up the game, putting a cover over where the code goes.

"Hello?" You ask as you join the call. A chorus of greetings came your way.

"(Y/n)?"

"Karl!" You smile brightly.

Karl Jacobs was a good friend of yours. You would play on the Dream SMP sometimes. When you would, it would mostly be you being stupid with Karl and Alex, also known as Quackity. You were even a well know citizen of El Rapids.

"LET'S GOOOOO!" He yelled, making you laugh.

"Hey (Y/n), do you know everyone here?" Sean asks you.

"Um," You quickly scan through the names, "no, i don't think so."

You recognized names but you only personally knew Felix, Sean, Karl, and Ethan.

"Oh my god! Your voice is so cute!" Pokimane exclaims.

You giggle softly, "Thank you Poki!"

You're voice wasn't high pitched or anything like that, you just always spoke very softly and calmly. You were also a bit quiet.

Felix introduces you to those that you didn't know.

"There's one more person we're waiting for," He says.

While everyone waits, you and Karl run around each other's little characters and make jokes between yourselves. You mute yourself to read donations every once in a while.

You hear the discord chime, signaling that someone joined the call.

"WAIT CORPSE! DON'T SPEAK YET!" Felix yelled. "We have a new player. This is my friend (Y/n), say hi to her"

"Hello (Y/n)," Corpse said. You were taken aback by how deep his voice was but you didn't show it.

"Hi Corpse! Nice to meet you!" You said happily.

"Okay, how is she not freaking out?" Bretman said, making everyone laugh.

"Uh, (Y/n), do you mind letting me have black? It's cool if not.." Corpse asked gently.

"O-oh sure, no problem." You were usually black with the pink flamingo hat, but you ran over to the little computer and changed your color.

"Simp," Ethan mumbled, knowing you never switch from black.

"Thank you," He said, then the game started.

The word “Imposter” appeared on your screen in red, yours and Corpse's characters underneath.

As the game started, you thought no one could hear you so you spoke to your chat. "His voice was so deep, what the fuck? Holy shit that was hot, i'm gonna-"

"(Y/n)," Rae laughed, "You know we're playing proximity chat, right."

You blushed as you realized and said "Ha, anyways..." and ran to start faking tasks.

You ended up in electrical with Karl. "(Y/n)! My good friend, my buddy, you would never kill me right? Haha..." He said.

"Of course not, Karl! My good friend, my buddy. Why, I'm not even imposter," I said as i quickly dipped into the vent and back out, making him laugh.

I decided to show him because I knew Karl wouldn't say anything, and it's funny.

"Oh that's good then. Are you sure you're not imposter?"

"Mhm, pretty sure," You said, going back in. As you came out, Sykkuno walked in and froze.

"Uh, (Y/n)?"

"Fuck... Karl run! Go!" You said, Karl starting to leave. You walked closer and quickly killed Sykkuno then vented to security.

"That was close..." You told your chat.

You saw Corpse as you made your way around the map and walked into navigation.

"Hey, Corpse, how ya doing?"

"Ah you know, good. Just being crewmate and all."

You stifled a laugh, "Oh yeah I feel that, buddy."

"Yeah because there's no way that i'm imposter. No way i could be faking tasks and there's no possible way you could be the other imposter" He said quickly.

"For sure. Hypothetically speaking, though, if you were imposter, how many people would you have killed by now?"

"I would say probably around two."

"Interesting," You said right before a body was reported. It was Sykkuno's. Felix and Rae were also dead.

"WHAT!" Corpse yelled.

"Where was the body at?" Sean laughed.

"Uh I found it in electrical," Bretman said.

"I'm pretty sure Karl was in there earlier."

You calmly said, "It's not Karl, I was with him for most of the round."

"How do we know the two of you aren't imposters?" Sean asked.

"I was alone with him, he would have taken the chance to kill me."

"No, he's your best friend."

"He's also ruthless,"

"TRUE! SO TRUE!" Karl yelled.

"So skip?" Corpse asked.

Everyone agreed and the voting was skipped.

The next round, I spent with Ethan. He was pretending to be mad at me because Sean said Karl was my best friend.

"What happened to Blue Boi Buddies, huh?!" He exclaimed.

"Neither of our hair is even blue anymore!" You argued back.

You were in reactor with him when Corpse and Poki walked in. He hit the lights and you took it as a sign to double kill. He killed Poki, you killed Ethan, and the two of you made your way to electrical to help fix lights.

You and Corpse went the opposite direction of reactor after the lights were fixed, Karl going with you.

Poki's body was reported. That double kill only left you, Corpse, Sean, Karl and Bretman. You only needed two more kills.

"I still think it's Karl and (Y/n)," Sean said quickly.

"I was with (Y/n) the whole time," Corpse said, "In fact, I think it's you."

"That does make sense. Why so quick to accuse others, Sean?" You ask.

"It's not me!" He yelled.

"I actually agree with Corpse and (Y/n)," Bretman said.

"I was with you!"

We all voted for Sean, him voting for Karl. Sean was ejected.

When you load into spawn, you wait for the kill cool down and kill Bretman, saving Karl.

"Victory" appeared on your screen.

"God damn it!" Sean yelled.

"Good job, (Y/n)," Corpse said lowly.

You smiled, a slight blush on your cheeks, "You too Corpse."

"Their voices go together and they're a fuckin dream team? What have i done...," Felix sighed.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

A few more games went by. Most of them you and Corpse spent together, whether you were both crewmates or if one of you was imposter.

You really enjoyed his company and you actually got along with him pretty well.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

"(Y/n), before we get serious, I have one question to ask you." Corpse said as both of your characters stopped.

"What's that?" You giggled.

"Do you know Bingus?"

"Bingus? As in, our lord and savior, Bingus?"

You could hear the smile in his voice, "It's settled, you're my wife now."

This made both of you laugh and your chat go crazy.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

Eventually, people had to start leaving. You said your goodbyes to everyone and left the discord call and the game.

You set stream to where it was just your face cam.

"Guys, what should we do now?"

You saw some people asking what time it was for you.

"It's 3 AM right now... I’m not tired though.” You had been streaming for a few hours; You never even noticed how late it got.

People in chat were yelling at you to go to sleep, making you chuckle.

“How about we do a quick QnA, then at 3:30 I go to bed. Deal?”

You watched as the chat filled with questions. They obviously seemed to like the idea.

“‘Who is your best friend? Karl or Ethan?’ Neither, Alex Quackity. Next question.” You answered quickly.

You laughed, “I’d like to clarify that that’s a joke, i love all my friends equally.”

You answered more questions. Some were from new viewers asking basic questions, some were about future streams and videos.

“‘How do you feel about people shipping you and Corpse?’“ People are already shipping us?” You laughed, “I’ve said before that I’m okay with shipping, as long as the other person is too. I think it’s funny.”

You continued to read chat. “Wait, we’re trending?”

You checked Twitter and “#(your and corpse’s ship name)” was trending in the US.

You laughed as you scrolled through the tag, “Oh this is so funny.”

“Fanart already?! You guys are so talented!”

You read chat, looking for more questions. You saw people telling you that it’s 3:30.

“Okay fine, a deal’s a deal. I hope you all have, or had, a great day and I’ll see you guys later. Depending on what time it is for you, you should also get some sleep. Stay hydrated, love you!” You ended stream.

⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒

You scrolled through Twitter as you laid in bed, liking fanart and dumb memes. Also replying to a few of your friends’ tweets.

karl :) @/KarlJacobs_

@/(your username) what the honk ?

*clip of you saying Quackity was your best friend*

You liked the tweet and replied, “karl no,,, look away,,,”

You continued scrolling, feeling your eyes get droopy. Your eyes fell closed but quickly opened when your phone vibrated. It was a DM.

From Corpse.

You two had followed each other earlier.

Corpse: hey (y/n), just wanted to say you’re really cool and i’d love to play again with you soon

You smiled, a light blush spreading across your cheeks, and replied.

On the whole trans! headcanon post thing.

Personally I have always been raised with the mindset "No until yes" meaning if somebody didn’t explicitly state they're comfortable with something, it's a no for me.

That worked out fine because I never really was into rpf, more of a weeb.

So whenever I saw people draw characters differently from canon I would just shrug it off and go "Well they're fictional, if drawing Hatsune miku black and ace makes them happy" and move on.

Joining the DSMP was a sort of (fandom)culture shock because the characters look and often times act exactly like their irl counterpart. Of course there is a distinction in my mind c!Tommy clearly is not cc!Tommy and people are absolutely allowed to headcanon c!Tommy (I think Tommy even gave explicit permission once?)

But I still get confused how to act in a RPF fandom?

(I also never really got in any movie fandoms if you ask, animation was always more of my jam)

context: [Link]

that's completely fair, like I said there's nothing wrong with being uncomfortable with fan content for any reason. the problem is when people not only get angry at people who make that content as a baseline but actively Accuse those people of intentionally being creepy or boundary braking if not entirely accusing them of being predators. which is by no means a problem with everyone who's uncomfortable with it, but there's been a rising issue with it especially as of late.

however, there's a few things I think that's still worth addressing, even if these things don't affect how your or anyone do (or Should) feel about the content itself.

firstly, the dream smp Isn't an rpf fandom, but it Does exist along side an rpf fandom. it's a venn diagram, and usually that doesn't cause any problems but "usually" isn't all the time. there are people who Only are interested in the fandom for the roleplay, people who had no idea about who these people were Until they found the roleplay, and who aren't interested in their other content. or people who are just More Invested in the roleplay than they are with the streamers themselves.

those people aren't going to have that same issue, because what they Know are the characters. and in turn it's much easier to treat the characters how they would any other fandom. to project onto the characters and fill in the gaps of what their personalities are like off screen without being influenced by who their actors are in real life.

which can be a real culture shock to people who don't have that relationship with the fandom, who can't image having that relationship with the fandom. that's part of where I think some of the accusations come from, as I said.

but there's a reason why people have been trying to fight with ao3 to get an Actual tag system for roleplay smps instead of cramming them all under the rpf label (on top of the obvious sorting/Archiving issue that comes when creators are involved with more than one thing, as they almost always are). keeping the two separate is Healthy, even and Especially for people who are heavily invested in the cc's themselves. letting your feelings for the characters influence your feelings for the actors and letting your feelings for the actors influence your feelings for the characters can get messy really fast.

granted, there's nuance in that. there's nothing wrong with being attached to a character because of the actor playing them, it happens with movies and shows all the time. but it gets messy when people take criticism for a character the same way they take criticism for an actor. or worse, use criticism for a character as a sheet to Hide criticism for the actor. or more ridiculously, get angry with an actor for something their character has done in the roleplay. all of which are problems in other fandom spaces with more conventional actors, it's just more intense here because of the circumstances.

parasocial relationships aren't inherently bad, but they can get toxic if you let them. that's why people need to remind themselves of that distance between the characters and the actors even if they're invested in the characters Because Of the actors. including and especially when you interact with other people.

secondly, while I understand that notion in theory (and I Absolutely agree with it in this context in some cases) there's nuance to the situation as well.

these are their characters and they are actors. the boundary was looser, harder to find, in earlier on but by now most of the creators are playing characters and are aware of that fact. I think this is especially true for creators who joined after the server was more established, but as time has gone on the older characters have been fleshed out to the point that we can't argue that they're the same anymore.

we Saw the contrast between charlie the Content Creator establishing himself on the server and Slime The Character being introduced to the lore. charlie has a note pad of all of the information that slime has learned on the server so he can remember what his character can and cannot talk about, get in his head and figure out how someone with the information that slime has would react to a given situation. slime may be influenced by his personality, but he is a character who lives a life that he does not.

likewise, after being allowed to establish himself on the server for a little while foolish went whole ham on being a totem god of life (and formerly a god a death) and we stan forever.

even someone like tubbo, who says that his character reacts how he thinks he'd react in those situations, has experienced things so Detached from what tubbo the content creator has experienced that they aren't and couldn't be the same people.

remember when tommy died and tubbo wasn't in the right headspace for reacting to it? when he said he couldn't get his footing in the roleplay? it threw everyone off, people made fix-it fics and fanart and headcanons, because tubbo reacted how tubbo The Content Creator wanted to react and not how Tubbo Underscore the traumatized child soldier who just lost his best friend for a second time would've reacted, and we all knew that it was wrong because we all knew tubbo the Character. if tubbo wasn't invested in his roleplay, if there wasn't a divide between the two, then we would have accepted how he reacted, because it would've been consistent to how he'd always played the character.

their experiences are not the same and they aren't Supposed To Be. these are actors portraying a story and they're all Aware of this fact. the people involved in the acting are there because they Want to be. tommy, tubbo, and dream Designed the exile arc because they wanted to tell that story, and it was brilliant. part of it is their strength as streamers yes, but it's their strength as Actors and Writers that carry it as well. their natural chemistry with each other as friends makes improv easier to get into, but it's the acting itself that carries it.

now, that doesn't mean that there aren't Any boundaries, or that there Shouldn't be any boundaries, because that isn't true. and you're still right in the sense that the characters are closer to their actors than you'd typically see in other media. (though there is a sliding scale there, which I'd probably call the "charlie to techno" scale. some actors are much closer to their characters than others and it affects How they roleplay and how the audience reacts to those characters)

I have a hard line with nsfw unless it is Explicitly given permission (and of course a harder line for the minors), because you're right. at the end of the day its their faces and their names and that could easily, Easily have a different effect on them from other aspects of fandom. Any boundary that the cc's set At All should be treated with the respect that that deserves. wilbur said no shipping him with schlatt, so don't ship him with schlatt. it's that simple and it should always be that simple.

that said, there's a couple problems with the "assume no unless stated otherwise" approach, outside of nsfw.

firstly is what I talked about earlier, people abusing ambiguity or Perceived ambiguity as an excuse to harass people or content that they don't like. the dream smp wiki fighting over ranboo and tubbo's relationship status until a server admin change it to platonic claiming that ranboo had said that he wasn't comfortable with it being labeled romantic, which turned out to be a Lie that ranboo had to address himself. or god forbid the situation with knifetrick

people have been Especially sensitive with ranboo and tubbo's relationship in the dream smp, and it's not like I don't understand why. people have been shipping the content creators for a long time now, which has put a lot of people on edge (the assumption that if you ship their characters, or even portray the relationship as it is in canon, then you must ship the creators or are trying to hide the fact that you ship the creators).

I thought that'd died down as people got used to their canon relationship, but apparently not.

for people who don't know, knifetrick was a mystery fanfic written by relaxxattack centering on ran and jackie from the pit episode of tales from the smp. they were minor characters played by ranboo and tubbo who were, essentially, turned into ocs for the sake of the fic. being fleshed out, given backstories and personalities and placed in it's own setting, to the point that it wasn't necessary to watch that tales episode to get invested in the fic itself. it also just so happened to have a romance subplot.

people on twitter found out about this romance subplot out of context from fanart and assumed immediately that it (and the fanfic itself) was just a flimsy excuse to ship the content creators either despite or because ran and jackie themselves had almost nothing to do with them (being on screen for such a short amount of time in the first place).

it started with people just bad mouthing the fic and the fanart in general, with relaxx asking people Not to post fanart on twitter specifically because it Was getting that reaction and those assumptions, and it escalated into people seeking it out specifically to tear into it and its creator. relaxx spent months fighting back that misinformation, up until people starting making up horrible things to accuse the fic of to try to whip people up into a moral panic. the misinformation and smear campaign was too much to handle and they abandoned their blog entirely.

I'd been keeping up with them and they'd been trying to contact ranboo and tubbo Specifically About Their Fic just so they could have it to counter the misinformation and campaigning against it. there was nothing in that fic that was anything more than what ranboo and tubbo had done on the dream smp, there was nothing nsfw and the relationship hadn't even gotten off the ground at that point in the story. and yet they here harassed off because the wrong people saw it and decided they didn't like it.

which slots into the other problem: communication.

there are thousands, Millions of people who are fans of these content creators, all vying for their attention all the time. the majority of them aren't embedded in the fandom, and the ones that are aren't going to have their thumbs in every pie that's out there.

it's Hard to get in contact with the creators to ask them what you want, and even if you do it's hard to get across the entirety of what you're asking when you do it. do they know the full implications when we ask them about shipping? when we ask them about trans headcanons? I don't know, and none of us really do.

but the fact remains, the creators can't answer a question that they can't see and we can't ask a question that they can't hear. relax fell into a gray area because they couldn't point to a specific point where the creators had said they were fine with people shipping ran and jackie because the creators hadn't Thought about the fact that people might want to, and that was used against them for the sake of harassment. relax Tried and Couldn't get in contact with them about it.

and that's where the problem lies, communication with content creators is not the same as communication with our friends or our family or our coworkers. because as much as there's a gap between the creators and the characters, there's also a gap between the creators and Us.

moreover, they don't have caards. they don't know what they should say or what people want information on, and when they hear it it's often in random twitter threads or embedded in random hours long streams. very rarely will a creator set aside a specific place to state their boundaries for their characters because they don't know that they Need to. which makes it all the harder, because people will Hear what the creators say and then not know where to find it to prove it. in a random stream or random twitter threat or from someone else who'd seen or heard.

there Is a Very Good And Important blog putting in the effort to try to catalogue and source all of that here: [Link] again, that's @smp-boundaries, who is putting in the active effort to try to collect the boundaries that the creators all set in one place to try to make it easier to navigate.

but even then, there are things that fall through the cracks, and of course not everyone is Aware that that exists and if they are they can't always find the information that they're looking for.

they have individual posts that they tag with the creators names, but they link to pages talking about the broad strokes right at the time in an organized list. looking at wilbur's page [Link] it mentions that he's okay with genderbends of his character, and they source that claim with this clip [Link]

that obviously Isn't talking about trans headcanons, but is it enough on it's own? he said that he doesn't care if his character is depicted as a woman so it should follow that he'd be okay with his character be depicted as a trans woman, or as nonbinary. but making that assumption and providing that evidence could still leave you open if you're facing criticism like relaxx did, if you don't have word for word evidence that specifically what you are doing is okay with the creators when a third party doesn't want you to be making the content that you are. and even if the information is already Out There it may be impossible to find.

and look at the specific response. he doesn't Care. you'll get that from many Many of the clips that they source. they don't care if their character gets shipped with whoever or presented in this or that way because they don't have to See it. because it doesn't affect their character in canon and it doesn't affect their day to day life. they only happen to hear glimpses of it through people desperately trying to reach them in stream, through chat or through donations, entirely by chance whether they'll be seen or responded to.

that's why treating it like a black and white consent issue is ignoring the actual situation at hand. it's more complicated than that Outright. it's a fandom for their characters, and most of the creators treat it that way. they aren’t even thinking about it and they’re going to keep not thinking about it once this confirmation is over. that's why I, personally, think respecting the boundaries that they intentionally put down is the way to go.

like I said, you're allowed to personally feel differently and act on that with how you filter out and engage with fan content, just try to be mindful of all of this when you interact with other people

Laurel Wreaths & Animal Teeth (4)

(c!Technoblade x fem!Reader)

(people seem to like this for now but remember, no reblogs/comments then i’m gonna assume people lost interest. so show u enjoy this please!! <3 also someone drew fanart of Reader, check it out at the bottom! :3c)

-------------

“Come ON Wilbur! Come with me to check out the huge village I found the other week!” shouted Tommy while making sure to get in his older brother’s way as much as possible. He figured if Wilbur was focused on him and not whatever ‘super important’ shit he was busy with then he’d join him.

Wilbur meanwhile was doing everything he could to sidestep and ignore said younger brother. Now usually he’d humor the much younger boy but Wilbur was sorta busy at the moment. There’s been murmurs of unrest within the L’manburg territory lately since new faces have joined their country.

Apparently they weren’t happy about the fact that Wilbur was a self appointed president, and likened him to a dictator because of it since no one got a say in his leadership role. Which Wilbur thought was highly unfair. He’d fought tooth and nail for his country, so they could have and enjoy all the freedoms to do as they pleased without Dream and his cronies breathing down their necks.

Everything he did he did for his country. But he didn’t want them to see him as some unsympathetic tyrant who didn’t listen to his people. He’s not Dream, he actually listens when they speak, even when they say they don’t like his self appointed role as president. So yes, Wilbur was sort of busy with more important things than goofing off and finding some random village. But instead of snapping he just sighed and said,

“Tommy, I’m working. We’re supposed to be running a country, remember?”

The aforementioned boy let out an aggravated sigh, he knows they have a duty to L’Manburg, he’s not stupid! But he also knows they need to be allowed to have some fun now and again too! Or they’ll go crazy! And Tommy was sure Wilbur would go mad if he stayed cooped up inside all the time working! So this was his way of dragging his brother out for his own good.

But Wilbur was being especially stubborn (wonder where Tommy got it…) and was refusing to budge.

“I don’t have time right now Tommy! Ask Tubbo or Fundy to tag along. I’m sure they’d love to go vandalize a village with you,” Wilbur distractedly said as he wrote down some notes in one of his books.

Tommy was tired of fighting Wilbur on this and decided to hell with it, he’d just take the L this time. So he scoffed and said “Whatever” in the most pissed off teen voice he could physically summon and turned away from Wilbur and stormed out of the brunet president’s house, making sure to slam the wooden door as hard as he could on his way out.

It seemed like all Wilbur did was mope around and WORK since they’d won independence from the Dream SMP. What the hell was the point of even FIGHTING for said freedom if Wilbur wasn’t even going to enjoy it??

Tommy pushed those thoughts away and went to search out Tubbo, he could always count on his best friend to follow him into some mischief! Unlike SOME people. And thankfully it didn’t take the rambunctious blond long to find his friend, and with a grin he ran and jumped on the shorter boy, making him yelp in shock and nearly fall. But then Tubbo saw who it was and started laughing and shoving the taller boy away half heartedly. But after goofing around a bit Tommy remembers why he’d searched out Tubbo in the first place.

“Oi Tubbo, come with me to this weird village I found the other week. I was gonna explore it when I found it but Wilbur said there was an emergency and I had to leave before I could,” he said as they both walked along the main path.

“Yeah sure, but why was it ‘weird’? Was it one of those ones that’s built somewhere stupid like half on a cliff?” Tubbo asked with a laugh.

The two laughed and Tommy explained that the village just looked different? Like there was no cobble! Which was ridiculous because in his opinion that was the best part of villages was all the cobble buildings. Not that he was biased or anything like an American.

But Tubbo just laughed and said sure, they could go check it out. He didn’t have anything else important to do today anyways. Tommy gave a triumphant ‘yeah!!’ because at least he got ONE of his friends to not be a total loser and go out to have some good old fashioned fun with him.

Tubbo told him to lead the way so they were off.

-0-

Many blocks away in your village you were getting out of your ‘shower’, which was really just a waterfall hidden by thick trees and hanging vines behind your temple home. But it was the best shower you’d ever used thanks to how the water fell over you in huge sheets. You’d honestly stay in it for hours if you didn’t hate being bored just standing there. But you did get bored, so you got out and began drying off.

Once you were dry you started getting dressed in your usual outfit, then once done you paused before reaching down to grab the newest item of your outfit..

Your mask.

...

After your… horn discovery the week before you’d just laid in bed all day for a couple days. Not leaving your temple for any reason, not even to shower or eat. You’d have been feeling worse if you’d actually needed food but thankfully you didn’t, so when you finally got your ass in gear and got up to bathe you only felt marginally like shit. At least you had until you went to go bathe…...

But on that first day up you’d just stared at yourself in the reflection of the water and sighed. You didn’t have the urge to cry anymore, so that was a good thing. But you also weren’t a fan of the new horns or glowing eyes you’d had since ending up here. You weren’t even sure what KIND of horns these were?? And… call you crazy but you SWEAR they were bigger than they were before your stint laying in bed..

They’d only been little nubs before, not even as big as your thumb! But now they were at least five inches long and sort of splitting at the tips? It looked weird and honestly felt even weirder what with that velvety texture covering them. You made the foolish mistake of grumbling to yourself,

“Things couldn’t get weirder, right?”

And as if the universe heard you… you discovered a new ‘appendage’ on your body while you started to wash your body off. You’d been lost in thought, just scrubbing yourself with a soapy washcloth when you’d started reaching around to wash your back, your washcloth brushed against something protruding from the base of your spine, right above your ass. This time you didn’t start panicking, you think you were still worn out from the days previous, so instead of freaking out you just slowly craned your neck around to see if you could glimpse the...thing.

A tail.

You blinked, shocked but also.. confused? What in the absolute fuck? Why? When?? This time there was no sobbing or breakdown, you were honestly just puzzled. Are you ever going to STOP growing animal traits or what? Under any other circumstances you might even call the tail cute. It was small, probably just smaller than your hand and about the same shape too. And the majority of the top of it was the same color as your hair, but the sides (and underside after you got curious enough to look under it) were a soft white. With how you were in water the tail looked rather unimpressive and you couldn’t identify what kind of tail it was, but if it was at all connected to the horns then maybe deer? Or caribou? Reindeer? The last two seemed more likely since those animals’ females actually grew antlers you think.

Having to adjust to all this new shit practically every other day was giving you a headache. With a tired sigh you rubbed the area around the base of your antlers, soothed slightly by how the action dulled your headache. But you couldn’t ignore the issue at hand, so you swallowed down your unease and instead just decided since you couldn’t control these… unnatural features then.. well, you’d just cover them up or since that wasn’t possible for the horns now you’d just disguise them?

You’d been stumped for a while on how to even DO that but eventually you’d gone down to the village to feed the animals and you’d watched the armorer leave his house to get started working for the day. And you’d noticed the mask he wore pushed up on his forehead. That’s when the idea for a mask hit you. But you didn’t know how to make or even craft a mask, so you’d gone to the armorer and asked him about it. It was hard to grasp what he was saying clearly but after the months living with the villagers you’d picked up some stuff and could understand them some.

So you let him show you how to make a standard iron mask like his, though the first one he’d made hadn’t fit you in the end so he’d made a second after tweaking the size a bit so it’d fit your face right, since your face shapes weren’t the same. But you were thankful and said so after you put it on. Though the eye holes still revealed your eyes, which you didn’t like. You asked how hard it would be to put reflective lenses in them to prevent your eyes from being seen.

That question turned into the armorer calling over the cartographer, the stonemason, and the shepherd oddly enough to help him out. They were murmuring and crowding around the armorer’s workstation while you watched from the edge of the porch where you sat idly. You didn’t want to hover over them like some busybody, so you sat patiently to see what they came up with together.

And after a while your patience was rewarded when they came over to show you the fruit of their collaboration. And it surprised you how gorgeous it was, which wasn’t fair since you had 4 skill masters working on it together for you.

The mask was actually very beautiful.

It was a white half mask that only covered your eyes, forehead, and upper nose/cheeks but left the lower half of your face bare. And you think it was simply painted white because it felt about as heavy as iron, but the part that amazed you was how it almost looked Venetian in design. On the forehead of the mask was a golden sun, and golden floral swirls came from the corners of the mask and curled near the cheeks and sides of the sun on the forehead, making the mask look elegant and almost vintage.

But the best parts in your opinion were the glass lenses in the eye holes. They were reflective and the same colors as your banner! You don’t know how the villagers did it but the edges of the lens were a goldish orange and the color faded into a violet in the center. You worried you wouldn’t be able to see through them but when you put the mask on you realized the lens only gave things a VERY slight blue/grey tint. So slight in fact that you could fully ignore it if you wanted.

And the second best part was some of the floral swirls actually swirled UP past the top edge of the mask and rested against your horns, giving the illusion that they were somehow part of the mask. Actually with the mask on you could almost trick yourself into thinking you were just wearing a cool looking Mardi Gras mask!

You clapped your hands in glee and couldn’t help the excited sound you let out as you gushed and told them it was perfect! They all let out bashful happy murmurs and generally looked shyly pleased with your praise. You tried to give them each some emeralds but they refused to take them, grunting and shaking their heads each time you attempted to push the gems towards them. Eventually you gave up and resigned to accepting the mask as a gift, but you’d definitely do something nice for them later, to make up for their hard work.

…

You’d taken to wearing the mask at all times when not in the privacy of your temple. Which wasn’t very hard to get accustomed to. The mask was lightweight and the lenses honestly helped shield your eyes from the glare of the sun so win/win. And it also made your horns, in your opinion at least, less in your face. Which was good because they were definitely still growing. You could tell. And the split in the tip was now more pronounced, making you wonder if they were like… reindeer antlers? It would fit with the tail currently growing out the base of your spine, said tail that now looked REALLY like a fluffy little deer tail since the hair/fur on it had dried.

One good thing was that your tail wasn’t long or huge and could actually be hidden relatively easily under a shawl you tied around your waist. So that was one less thing to worry about. Though your life would infinitely be easier if you didn’t have to deal with all this inhuman bullshit. But you supposed life wasn’t fair and expecting it to be was foolish.

“At least I’m not part some weird animal like an aardvark or something…” you mumble to yourself, trying to view this whole thing in a ‘glass half full’ sort of way.

You’d decided to relax and unwind from your recent discovery by just taking things easy for a while. First day since you got the mask and such you just chilled and started a small farm for yourself. You didn’t need the food but the process of building the farm and toiling the earth and then sowing the seeds was actually pretty therapeutic. The repetition of it all was pretty calming. Just you, your gardening tools, and the earth beneath your feet.

The days following were pretty much the same. You’d tend your garden first thing in the morning after your shower, then you’d go off to find something else easy to fill your time. You took up feeding the animals, making flower boxes and planters around the town to make it more colorful, potion brewing, and even fishing. Which was what you were doing right now actually.

You were sitting on the edge of the pond next to your temple, bare legs in the cool water and your back resting against the side of another grass block, an enchanted fishing rod you’d traded the town fisherman for sitting stuck in the ground next to you while you relaxed. The day was actually quite beautiful and nice. Sun streamed down over you from between the bamboo behind you, fluffy fat bees buzzed overhead as they hunted lazily for pollen, and you were close to dozing off.

“Hnn! Hnn! Hnnn!!”

At least you would have dozed off if you hadn’t heard one of the villagers sorta freaking out. You looked up and saw one of the farmers panickedly shuffling about at the top of the small hill to your left. You wondered if zombies got into the village again? But no it was sunny out, they’d be burning if they did. Illagers maybe? But how would they have gotten around the bamboo and prickly berry bushes?? Well there wasn’t anything else for you to do than do see what was wrong.

You put away your fishing rod, got up and dusted yourself off before hurrying up the hill after the villager. You trailed after them down the lantern lit path but so far didn’t see anything, but you perked up when you heard telltale sounds of one of the iron golems fighting something and taking damage. That put some urgency in your gait and soon you were running to see what was going on. You rush past the fletcher’s home and then the cartographer’s right after but nothing. Then you finally round the corner where the market is set up and see at the very end of the path next to the cleric’s church is the altercation.

You sprint down the path, yelling for the villager’s to stay inside until you ring the town bell as you run past them. You hear the doors slam closed behind you and you manage to get to the problem right as your iron golem gives one last cry before getting poofed. You gasp sadly and then glare when you hear cheering. A blond boy that was shorter than you hopped down from a dirt block tower and scooped up the fallen iron ingots the poor iron golem dropped upon its death.

You were so pissed that you ignored the nagging feeling in the back of your focus that said this kid looked familiar. It wasn’t until he finally turned to look at you that it hit you. Holy shit this kid looked… and sounded.. like that minecraft youtuber, TommyInnit.. Like eerily so. You’re glad you’re wearing your mask so he can’t see the deer in headlights (*ba-dun-ts*) look on your face at the sight of him. And your shock didn’t fade with him speaking. If anything it reinforced the idea that this kid was weirdly reminiscent of that youtuber.

“Holy fuck! You are a MASSIVE woman. Wait, who the fuck are you?!” he said in a loud tone of voice as he looked up at you. It made your eyebrows furrow. You were NOT that big! He was just short! You even crossed your arms and told him so, which earned a snicker from the little brown haired boy in dark green overalls next to him. The blond boy scoffed, looked fully offended, snarked back that you were about the same height as a ‘bloody fuckin’ iron golem!’ so yes you were huge.

You glared at the little TommyInnit look alike and instead of arguing about your height you started scolding both boys, which they hadn’t really.. expected? At least from the surprised looks on their faces (which still had the roundness that came from baby fat). The brunet rubbed his elbow and sort of toed the dirt under his feet while the blond crossed his arms and almost looked to be pouting from the scolding.

“My height isn’t the issue here! The issue is you two barging into my village, killing one of my iron golems, stealing the loot from it, and scaring my poor villagers!! What in the hell were you two thinking?”

The blond tried to cut in, to defend himself but he barely got out the first syllable before you held up your hand to signal for him to silence himself as you snapped,

“I do NOT wanna hear it! You treat others this way?? Like they’re nothing, like their possessions and peace of mind don’t mean a damn thing?! Shame on you both!!”

By the end the two boys looked properly scolded. The brunet wondered if THIS is what it felt like to get scolded by one’s mother, and if it was then he’d like to avoid it for the remainder of his life. And the blond meanwhile actually didn’t have anything to say, or more accurately he didn’t know what to say to not feel like he was in massive trouble.

You meanwhile were just annoyed at this point, so you held you hand out (causing both boys to give you wondering looks) before you demanded the iron ingots that the blond stole from your slain iron golem. He got all in a huff, saying he earned them and they were just ingots- but you slapped that train of thought down with an angry,

“EARNED?? More like STOLE! After you killed my iron golem! Now give them back! I have to use them to make a new golem to protect this village.”

The blond sputtered, face blooming red at being blatantly called out on his theft, before muttering in embarrassment and pulling the ingots out and practically tossing them at you. You caught them and returned them to your inventory before shaking your head at the two and saying they should leave if their only goal in your village was to kill and destroy property. The small brunet quickly spoke up and said,

“No wait, we didn’t come just to mess stuff up! We came cuz Tommy said he found this place last week and it wasn’t the usual village so we wanted to explore it.”

Your stomach churned at the name.. Tommy. This was getting weird again. Way too fucking weird. But you resisted clenching your teeth anxiously like you wanted, instead you raised an eyebrow they couldn’t see and shot back,

“Oh yeah? And how did that escalate into killing my iron golem?”

This time it was ‘Tommy’ who cut in and said it had been an accident! They’d apparently been looking around when Tubbo (you felt queasy now after hearing that name too…) started fighting a spider and Tommy came over to help him, but in the process he accidentally hit the iron golem, who got pissed and smacked him.

“I ran from the thing and towered up three blocks! I knew it wouldn’t let up so I had to kill it! S’not my fault the bastard was holding a grudge!!” Tommy said heatedly, arms still crossed defiantly.

You wanted to rub your temples in exasperation but couldn’t without removing your mask. And like hell you were showing these kids your weirdo inhuman eyes. Though… if they really were the characters from.. the videos you got hooked on? Honestly this whole thing was 10 times weirder than the stupid glowy eyes or even the horns or tail.. Like this has to be proof you’re really dreaming or in a coma or something. What other logical explanation could there BE? These kids aren’t real. Nothing here is. It CAN’T be. The real people behind these… minecraft characters? They’re not here. In this place.

Before you could do a kickflip off the edge of your sanity into a full on mental breakdown you took in a calming breath and pushed those thoughts away until you were alone to give it the proper attention. And maybe so you could have your panic attack in peace and quiet. But right now you had two kids causing ruckus in your village. So you just said,

“Yeah alright, fine. I’ll forgive you both THIS TIME. But don’t make a habit of causing trouble in my village. And you can look around and explore, just don’t steal anything or hurt any of my villagers or animals. Got it?”

The two boys nodded, happy to not have you giving them that Angry Adult Tone anymore. So you turned and started walking back to the middle of the village, calling for them to come on. You had to ring the village center bell to tell everyone everything was okay.

Both boys shared a glance before Tubbo smiled and started jogging after you, Tommy right behind him, both curious about you and your village.

Let's talk broad terms.

(disclaimer. The CCs will be marked with the tag "cc!" If it's the character, I will be just calling them by their name.

Eg , "cc!dream" is the content creator, "dream" is the character.)

Tw//: I think manipulation? There's talk of using attachments against both characters and the viewers so, just be careful if you're weary of that.

The dream smp lore is, in it's simplest form, a lot of fun by a group of creative people with their own writing styles and opinions.

cc!Wilbur's influence can easily be seen in the Hamilton-esque political story that was l'manberg.

cc!Dream's mystery carries on into his character, where we don't see his side of things that happen. We don't know his views or opinions.

Even both cc and c foolish's naivety towards the lore can be interpreted into how his character jumps into conflicts he may not completely understand. Though I have little to no doubt that cc!Foolish is aware of what he is doing.

cc!Ranboo really is beginning to let his liking of horror take over his character and as a horror enjoyer for years before the smp, I am all for it.

cc!tubbo puts his lack of enthusiasm into his character so much he's literally always doing semi-lore and nobody realises.

But that isn't what I wanted to talk to you about.

I wanted to talk about the server as a whole and the attachments within it.

Not to the characters but to us. The viewers.

See. Dream said he could use attachments to control Tommy. And we got mad at him for it. Rightfully so. He has done some messed up stuff that pits us against him.

But my question is why.

Think about it.

Dream is a bad person because he did blank to blank.

It's because he did something to someone we, as the audience, have attachment to.

Say you watch.. tommy. You watch from tommy's point of view. He's a good character. He's the main person you watch.

You watch through the entire exile arc and you understand his trauma. You put yourself onto this character. You sympathize.

You are going to hate dream.

Say now you watch... I don't know. Foolish. You only ever watch foolish. You have no idea what is going on with anything to do with dream. You only know tommy died or something when he was in prison with dream.

You aren't going to feel as bad, are you? You could think "oh. Tommy is known for being a trouble maker, he might have deserved it."

It's all about perspective and who you watch mainly.

Let's take another example, awesamdude.

I'll admit. I used to be an awesamdude apologist. But then he stopped streaming his pov of events and I got less forgiving because I began seeing him doing things that I thought was wrong.

Dream himself doesn't stream his point of view. He is a mystery to even the viewers of the story.

In it's simplest form maybe it's so the viewers don't spoil anything for other creator's.

But we can read into this as cc!dream stopping us from getting this attachment to his character. cc!Dream is not stupid. He knows what he is doing.

Imagine how many more dream apologists there would be if he streamed his pov. Where he could monologue and talk about why he's doing all of this.

It's this position of attachments that I think gives even technoblade, the guy who aided in two of the three l'manberg destructions, a good guy side. We can see his downtime where he has his friends. We saw his birthday party where he was having fun. We saw his retirement. We gained attachments through him.

Attachments are powerful even to the viewers.

We are all going to be more upset if someone like... I don't know... Enderchest dies, for the ranboo viewers. Or Steve for the techno viewers, or Michael for beeduo viewers. Even if any of those are accidents via stray creeper or something.

We are going to be a lot more sad at those rather than like... A random chicken tommy kills when looking for food.

Dream wasn't kidding when he said he can control tommy through attachments.

Saying that in itself is using the viewer's attachments against them!

It's putting tommy in a position of weakness, and the chat get angry, sad, confused. They feel things that they shouldn't do at a block game.

It all comes down to attachments and the masterful way they're written into the lore of the dream smp. Chat forms attachments quickly. Everyone on the server knows this. It's whether they're willing to use that or not that makes an interesting writing decision.
