the fact that jack manifold loosing his last canon life and getting a glitch where he falls out of the world into a dark, endless void before coming back actually fits with the lore about the afterlife that was established today with ghostbur is so fucking funny to me man

#this man died and his game glitched the canon into existance by chucking him into the void. the power this man holds #dream smp #if you dont follow him btw: he is no longer dead. he speedran his own resurrection using pure anger and now has all 3 canon lives back #this is what happens when you don't give people a script and they write their own character. he and niki are forcing themselves back into #the main story by any means necessary and honestly i've gotta rate it #big up mr manifold #actually wrote something #ghostbur #jack manifold #l'manberg lads stay winning. i mean #not canonically sure but in terms of the og lmanbergians somehow still being some of the most interesting characters on the whole #smp despite how many times 3 of them are ignored in arcs and how many peope have joined since they were established #they stay winning #i do love that theyre being more vocal about wanting to be in the story more now though #cause you could definitely tell that theyd been largely pushed aside. not on purpose but still #i mean wilbur even pointed it out like just after he stopped writing on one of nikis streams. saying he got caught up in the idea of like #eret as a villain so disregarded the character and like they didnt wanna power up pogtopia too quick so had niki stay with manberg #which caused her character to get ignored a bit more #and obviously jack disappeared for like a month or something and then was suddenly back during the 16th war #but the fact theyre actually using those elements which didnt strictly come from the canon but arguably off stream stuff #and making it part of their characters is cool #like niki and jacks villain/vengence arcs are about being ignored #which works so well. like especially considering jack disappeared for a bit cause the canon side of that literally could just be #that he was pushed out of any form of power and abandoned by pogtopia when schlatt came along #to the point where he established his own area close enough to lmanberg to maintain allegiance but also far enough to have independence #im gonna stop ranting in the tags now idk why i always do this
