#george said 'dream' in his stream yesterday | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

fuck it I know I said yesterday I'm gonna hold on and wait but I just need to get some thoughts out of my head.

Content covered: love and empathy to Caiti, why he's taking so long to get his statement out, and frustrations with balancing personal mental health vs understanding that this isn't about *you*

1) Love to Caiti

I can't even imagine what she's going through right now. Regardless of if George had innocent or malicious intentions, it's obvious that this situation was incredibly traumatic for her. And I'm so glad that she has friends that are publicly willing to support her. I talked about it when Shelby spoke up so I won't bring it up again, but I get what she's going through and how much it fucking sucks. Hopefully, no matter the outcome, she can find peace and healing moving forward.

----------

2) Why he's taking so long

*I'll make statements empathizing with how difficult the self-defence process must be, but it in no way condones or excuses his potential behaviours or actions involved in this situation. He is a grown man and can deal with the consequences as such

The rush to get a statement and potentially closure to move on is understandable but still super stressful all the same. Given the severity of how this will impact his entire life moving forward, I wouldn't be surprised if he's seeking legal counsel or other advice before proceeding with a statement. Additionally, this is likely a situation where there may be little to no evidence that proves he didn't do anything, so whatever he presents has to be circumstantially rock solid with little room for doubt.

This isn't twitter drama where you can link a few screenshots and a twitlonger, or hop on stream quick to spout out your perspective. He stands to lose absolutely everything in his life today and it all depends on what he has to say and how he manages to say it. I know if I was in a situation like that (in the case that he legitimately believes he hasn't intentionally done anything wrong) I would be preparing in every way possible, short of a lawyer speaking for me, to clear my name to the best of my ability.

It makes sense that he's taking so long. He's probably not trying to ignore it and move on, but the lack of clarity on timelines certainly doesn't help him either. I wish he'll say something now too, but there's nothing wrong with taking longer than anticipated to detail out (probably with some fairly intimate detail that may be uncomfortable for anyone to share at such a scale) the most important stream of his life.

----------

3) Autism and grieving a special interest

There are (or were) a lot of neurodivergent people in this community. Like, a LOT. Some of us are able to drop hyperfixations or special interests and move on to something new with relative ease. Others struggle a hell of a lot more. You're not a bad person if you mourn the loss of a special interest in your life, it's just important that you keep the right perspective about it.

It's not as strong now as it was years ago, but the dream team have been a special interest for me since like July 2020. Emotionally, it honest to goodness feels like a loved one has died and I'm having a really hard time coping with it. Fuck, like I called in sick to work today because I the mental toll is so extreme I'm feeling physically ill.

Things will be okay and I'm so grateful to have Sleep Token right now, otherwise I don't know if I would be in a very safe place at the moment. It's really fucking hard and your pain is valid, despite what neurotypicals or neurodivergents with different experiences may say. The important thing to keep in mind is that your pain does not outweigh the pain of those genuinely hurt in this situation (Caiti in this case)

----------

4) Moving forward

I guess it all hinges on what's to come later today. Regardless of the outcome, things will never be the same here and I would be very surprised if any of the dream team carry on with their careers in the same capacity. I'm glad that people seem to be self-blaming less this time compared to the drituation. It still hurts to see this once-vibrant community crumble in such a short period of time.

I don't know what I'll do from here but I don't think the last 4 years were a waste. The dream team was a huge source of happiness during some of the darkest times of my life, and I don't think those memories could ever be tainted.

----------

Much love to everyone, whether you're still hanging around or not. I hope everyone finds happiness wherever they end up and that the truth will prevail in the end

Reverse Birthday Surprise - cc!Georgenotfound x gn!reader

Genre - friends to lovers, Minecraft based

Warnings - language

Word count - 1647

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE! It’s the king’s birthday and he deserves the best day ever 😤 it’s also my birthday tomorrow (or today for me ig lmao idk it’s the 2nd) so I won’t be working on anything for the day. From here on out, I’ll probably try and get a good few imagines either completed or a good way through before uploading so bare with me!

- 🌙

Yesterday was Halloween, meaning that today was November 1st. To anyone else it would seem like your regular run of the mill day, however, to you it was George’s birthday! You’d been working with Tina for a week trying to get him something special, something memorable. This was especially difficult because not only does he not really like receiving presents, but you also had a crush on him.

During a Discord call one day, Tina had the brilliant suggestion of going along the same lines as Sapnap and Dream. You knew they were planning to do something for him on the server for his birthday stream, so what better way to do something for him but not give yourself away. The next hour was spent scheming the perfect surprise for George.

It was decided that after his stream, you would lead George to a minecart ride which would travel through a showcase of memorable moments you’d had with George since befriending him. Tina helped you pick about 6 special times in your friendship (making sure to include your other friends to avoid awkward conversations) including when you first met on the server, building his house during the war together which was when you first properly hung out together alone and meeting him at Twitchcon Amsterdam for the first time along with Quackity and Karl.

George had just replied to your message telling him you had something to show him, he said he was still streaming so you could join the call with the Dream Team. This made you more nervous because you were expecting it to just be you and George, however, you were also a little relieved because there would be others there to interact with other than George.

12 minutes later you receive another message from George telling you he had ended his stream and to join the group vc. You briefly prepare by both taking a few deep breaths and sending a panicked voice note of you screaming to Tina before pressing the join button.

“Happy birthday, George! How was your stream?” your entrance is met with an enthusiastic greeting from Dream and Sapnap which you return after greeting George.

“Thank you, it was good other than Dream being disgusting” you laugh at the expected behaviour of your mutual friend before the curiosity gets the better of you.

“Oh god, what’d he do this time?” right on cue, Dream lets out one of his iconic wheezes also setting of Sapnap. You swear you can see George roll his eyes.

“He took me all the way out to a stupid mesa biome for one dumb joke. He’s an idiot” Dream somehow wheezes louder at the name calling while Sapnap chimes in.

“When we got to the mesa biome, Dream asked George what surrounded us-” you were yet to see what the supposed joke was but you were kind of interested to find out.

“-which of course it’s a mesa biome right? So George says clay. Dream answers saying it’s hardened clay and then logs off” the combination of Sapnap telling the story laughing slightly, George’s obvious annoyance and Dream’s background wheezing causes you to also burst into laughter.

“Really y/n? It wasn’t that funny” George’s actions contradict his words as he’s also started giggling by this point. After calming down you clear your throat while logging onto the server. After getting their coords from the boys, you go to meet up with them.

“So, uh, I made something for you, George. I know you’re not really one for presents but I wanted to do something so I made something instead. If you’ll just follow me” you speak once they enter your field of vision. The three of them follow and you take them out the main area and near to where your house resides.

You lead them to the entrance of the ride before turning your character to face them. Your palms start to get clammy and you try not to let your nervousness show in your voice. You just really hoped he liked it.

“I’m going to need everyone to grab a minecart from the chest on your right, and let George and I go first so I can explain it” George goes to grab a minecart and you follow suit, Dream and Sapnap following behind you.

Your nerves skyrocket the second he puts the minecart on the rail. After getting confirmation he could go, you saw him push forward and start the ride. Immediately after you see him move, you also push forward, ready to explain the different pictures.

“This first area are from my stream when I first joined the server and met you soon after. The whole idea of this ride is that I show you moments that I think are important to our friendship” Dream lets out an aww and you clap back.

“At least it’s better than hardened clay” George and Sapnap laugh at Dream’s ‘what the fuck’ before getting out of the minecarts and taking a closer look at the picture. You and Dream remain in yours long enough to have a quick discord exchange.

‘you’re such a simp’ you roll your eyes before replying to Dream.

‘says you, you stupid simp’ you hear him scoff in the vc before you receive a reply.

‘you’re the one in love with him. now tell him.’ you send him one last message before seeing that George and Sapnap have gotten back in their carts.

‘fuck off, there’s literally no way i’m ever telling him’. You speak in the vc again.

“Okay so the next section is when I consider to be the first time I think we really became good friends” you make sure the four of you enter the next section before elaborating, ensuring you don’t spoil anything.

“When we built my house instead of fighting in the war?” he chuckles slightly before exploring again. You hum in reply before he speaks again.

“I remember this being the first time you and I hung out just the two of us” you confirm his thoughts. After a few more minutes in this section, you all decide to move to the next one. The next rooms are pretty uneventful, until you get to the last one.

“Is this Twitcon Amsterdam?” Sapnap is the one to identify the theme this time.

“Shut up Sapnap” George is clearly annoyed and Sapnap ruining his birthday surprise. Sapnap scoffs while Dream wheezes again.

“Oooh someone’s protective over the special moments with their partner” Dream’s teasing brings a rush of heat to your face and you face palm silently. You should have known by the earlier Discord messages that he wasn’t gonna let anything slide.

“Whatever Dream” George tries not to show it, but he’s definitely affected somehow by Dream’s words. It’s not quite annoyance, however, you’re unable to place it.

“Anyway, Twitcon Amsterdam!” You bring their attention back to the room and watch as they look around, giving Sapnap and Dream an insight to your trip since they weren’t there.

Sapnap approaches the picture that was taken by a viewer when you met George for the first time in person. The picture shows you and George in the middle of a hug several seconds after meeting.

“I bet you wish you could hug y/n again, huh, George?” Sapnap’s teasing tone elicits a laugh from Dream and a sigh from you.

“What if I do?” You swear your jaw dropped to the floor at that remark. The dead silence in the call told you neither Sapnap nor Dream expected that either.

“Well- I mean hugs are nice” your reply caused George to laugh. Although you wish you would’ve said anything else, his laugh made it worth potentially embarrassing yourself.

“If you’re going to hug them again then you might as well kiss them” you have no idea what is even going on anymore at this point. Your surprise for George has taken the most unexpected twist and it’s making your head spin.

“Okay what the fuck is going on?” You’ve reached the point where you just wanna be put out of your misery.

“We’re witnessing a modern day love story” Sapnap’s answer further complicates the situation and you’re convinced George is never going to speak to you again.

“George for the love of god, please tell them you like them because otherwise this is going to drag on forever” Your head is resting firmly on your desk now, and you’re sending Tina a text to let her know your life is over and he’s never going to speak to you again. Your phone vibrates and you look to see a message from Tina containing a load of question marks and then a follow up of ‘i’m sure that’s not true!! it’ll be okay, call me soon’.

“Y/n?” You’re brought back to the situation at hand by George calling your name. You’re not sure how long you zoned out for but Tina had calmed your nerves slightly.

“Uh- sorry, what’s up?” You try to sound attentive and not like you’re losing the last of your dignity.

“I was saying that I like you and I’d like to go out sometime” your emotions had gone on their own ride throughout the evening and it’s at this point you realise Dream and Sapnap had left. They were probably leaving you two to deal with the aftermath of their shenanigans.

“I- really?” Here you are, on George’s birthday, and he’s the one who ends up surprising you.

“Yes, really” his giggle pulls you out of your own head and you try to formulate a better response.

“Of course. That’s the reason I put this whole thing together. Because you’re special to me”

The two of you spend the rest of the night enjoying each other’s company before falling asleep on call. You’d never been so thankful for your friends being snitches.

I did not watch the charity stream yesterday. I just opened twt for the first time in a while. GNF DID WHAT 💀 genuinely how do these people still have an audience helpppp

Friend, this is gonna be a hot take from someone who strongly dislikes Dream and his cronies, but I think twitter is overblowing the George stuff just for an excuse to hate on Dteam -- which they don't even need. Like they're all cunts without you needing to look for extra reasons.

George was an emotionally stunted and childish little shit during the event -- but so were tons of people. Tommyinnit actively made the same "I'm not donating today" jokes that George did and no one said shit. People were rolling their eyes and acting spoiled about who was in VCs and who they had to even hear for .5 seconds before they could mute and I was disappointed in the whole lot of them.

Except randomly Schlatt. He showed up, told Tommy to stop his obnoxious bit and donate money, then chatted with Wilbur to distract everyone from the hot mess going on.

The whole thing had horrid vibes tbh and Techno deserved better.

im nosy please elaborate hehe (esp on the snf stuff eyes emoji)

you got it 🫡 warning in advance for banter + snf crit but this is all from the perspective of a fan i’m not hating just to hate. and under the cut cause this is everything i’ve been holding in it’s Long

imo the problems with banter boil down to 1) a lack of direction, and 2) that it honestly seems like nobody but karl even gives a shit about it. it doesn’t even need to be a particularly inspired idea to work, just coasting off their dynamic would be fine (i don’t think karl/sap/george is a great combo for this format but that’s not to say it can’t ever work, i’ve enjoyed them in past episodes) but they still need to go into sessions with like…. an idea of what to do. it’s evident in both individual episodes— losing track of the topic ten minutes in, aimless conversations, starting and stopping stories, etc— and the podcast as a whole— celebrity guests seem picked at random with minimal research done, their chris episode that had a chance of being topical didn’t come out until after the general public lost interest, and doing THREE reboots because they keep losing steam after putting out two episodes is just ridiculous (though they’ve been better about that recently, credit where it’s due). their new set actually looks great, i like it a lot, but it doesn’t make their fundamental problems better. and all that would be more excusable if i got the sense that banter was really a passion project for them, but like i said yesterday i just…. don’t think that it is 😭 i do feel like karl genuinely wants to make it work and tries hard. but snf seem like they just said yes because it’s easy for them and they’ve got literally nothing else going on, and at least imo it shows

three guys in their twenties making a mid podcast isn’t the worst thing in the world (in fact it’s healthy for them. enriches their environment) but the reason everyone is so bitter towards it is because it’s ALL we get these days, save for a stream for two every couple weeks. it’s true that banter doesn’t Actually stop them from doing anything else, if they wanted to make content they would make it, but when we hear that group streams have been canceled and snf fly to north carolina a day later that’s still what it feels like! and, maybe most maddeningly, they seem to be under the impression that most of their audience Likes the podcast?? that’s the only explanation i can think of for the hubris of booking a big venue in a low-traffic state just before vidcon with no guests but austin ever announced and the most half assed promotion i’ve ever seen (see my point about not caring). i don’t like them blaming the venue for the cancellation either, i call bs on them being “difficult to work with” and it was almost certainly because of low ticket sales. like honestly, genuinely, did none of you see this coming? it’s incredibly out of touch and even though i like all three of them i can’t help but feel bitter thinking about how the only content we can expect from content creators is something they don’t seem passionate about yet continue to ignore that their audience very resoundingly Does Not Want It

and that brings me to snf’s careers right now as a whole. i don’t have as much to say as i did yesterday cause this anon summed it up so well but it really feels like between dream not micromanaging them anymore, minecraft content in general getting lower views and more creatively burned out, and not being separately stuck inside forced to do Something to stave off the boredom, they just don’t know what to do anymore, so they do nothing (or make seven-minute mr beast videos). dream isn’t the content machine he used to be either but at least with his projects like usmp (🕊) and drusic i can feel like he’s busy with projects he loves and there will be something tangible for me in the future, so i’m more willing to wait and see. and using tommy as another example, he’s done a great job branching out into other avenues and preserving his audience when what he was doing got tired. there’s no reason snf Can’t, they just haven’t. and when i hear about things like them scolding dream for promising us things i’m like ?!? fair i guess, i’d rather not expect anything and not be disappointed, but it’s only not happening because you guys aren’t making it happen. are you really SO busy that you can’t carve out three hours in an afternoon to cook something on stream? (in fairness that could be said about all three) or do you just not want to, and expect your audience to stick around indefinitely like it’s 2020?

and this discussion has been had on tumblr already of course and to be honest i’ve never really agreed with the consensus that it’s entitled to want content from content creators, but just to cover my ass a bit LMAO: this doesn’t bother me day to day, i have life to keep me busy so i just watch something when it interests me and don’t when it doesn’t. i love that dteam seem like friends first and business partners second and i would rather preserve that than grind content! but all the same i don’t think it’s wrong as fans to be critical of what people we like are (or aren’t) putting out but as always yk feel free to chime in with agreements or disagreements or whatever i am a greek forum for minecraft youtubers

#example of a ytber podcast i think works really well: hey and stuff #(if anyone remembers that relic LMAO)#it’s not a crazy original idea but it has a defined gimmick that gives the episodes direction and it works really well with +#wilbur’s personality #i miss hey and stuff. can it come back please #the yard is a good one too of course but i don’t really watch it #anyway... here you go!#bella answers #anon #critical

yeah they havent heard his voice but callahan is a munchymc-er and they’ve been very close friends for a very long time. like it would be crazy to me if they didnt know callahan very well considering he’s a part of every recording and every stream they ever did on dsmp and a big part of other streams especially george’s streams

idk it could be him but that one part of his tweets doesnt track for me

Like I said, I'm open to being wrong (in fact, i usually am). It has to be somebody he's already close friends with based on the last round of tweets yesterday where he said he hasn't really spoken with anyone besides his best friends in recent times (assuming that's outside of like LA parties we know he's gone to)

But i also still think there's a difference between knowing someone online and knowing someone in person and "getting to know" someone can still mean just learning to know their IRL habits and mannerisms, you know?

someone Dream has "worked with a lot in the past" certainly goes with your point of Callahan doing a lot behind the scenes and being part of streams and recording

I dunno, i'm not convinced 100% it's Callahan but I'm not convinced it's 100% not Callahan either

fun debate, though!

i actually think dream has nothing to do with this. i mean he said it himself he doesn’t manages or takes care of snf careers or content like he used to do and in the case of sapnap it’s pretty obvious now he has a big ego so i wouldn’t be surprised if he gaslight? himself thinking this was the correct option just because he wanted to do something bigger than dream or feel like he was the boss for once because we all know who the boss was/is (that sounded cringe im sorry) but it’s the truth. meanwhile i don’t know how to feel about george bc would he choose to follow sapnap steps without dream? and banter doesn’t count cus it’s not as big as moving to another platform

i don't really know what to think right now. a month ago in that interview Dream said that Aiden Ross is the only reason why Kick isn't kicking Twitch's ass. that's just... not true. if this is what Dream thinks of Kick, then he is just as deluded as Sapnap (and his likes yesterday kinda show that, imo). The issue is far, far deeper than Aiden Ross being bigoted. it's the business model of the website, the fact that it's dirty money.

overall i will not be putting dream on any pedestal even if snf both have contracts but dream doesn't. dream wouldn't mostly because he wants to be a singer. he doesn't like streaming. but had he been a streamer, i think he would have followed snf in this kick endeavour.

i don't think that this is sapnap trying to separate from dteam or do big guy stuff all alone tbh. i think it's genuinely all about the money. in his pastebin he contradicts himself by saying that he's been seeking a streaming contract for months but then also says that kick sought him out. i don't think that kick sought him out lol. he's really not relevant enough, imo. i think sapnap sought them out, potentially with george.

drusic is only being pushed more and more cause he’s signed to a label now so it makes sense there’s less of the normal content we’re used to

being signed is a big deal, i’ve stanned a girl group who have been around since 2019 and they haven’t released ANYTHING officially yet so i know how annoying content droughts can be, (obviously covid really affected them & other things got in the way) but try & understand that dream isn’t just releasing music on his own now, he has a team of people behind him

people complain abt my girlgroup not releasing but one of the members recently went live and explained that there’s no music yet as they’ve been in artist development for most of it, so even if you think someone’s (like label or management) holding them back, just be aware that it’s not always the case

(also, the group are so close to releasing stuff now as they said yesterday on live that everything has been sent off so! that’s another thing)

after drEP and tour etc, we’ll get some regular stuff back, ofc snapchats & little streams now and again from sap or george would be nice in the meantime while we wait for other things but just remember that dream’s project at the minute is this!

ofc no one is forcing you to stick around if you’re sick of waiting for content we want, but just keep this in mind ig :)

#like it or not he’s signed to a massive label #so he kinda has to push this for a bit before we get our dteam back #sorry for the rant lol but had to get it out there #thoughts by mae

okay so to sum it up. dream practiced parkour warrior for 15 hours yesterday and then decided to stream today:

he told the story of running into lil nas x in the studio and nas was wearing the red astoboy cartoon boots which confused him

then he told us he was gonna be doing his "lore voice" for something he forgot he needed to do and suddenly appeared on the h3h3 podcast threatening to sue them for remixing panic attack and then it turned into a full blown interview with some random guy named mike also there

then he went back to parkouring and told us about how he invited xqc to go with him and george to lil nas' birthday party and xqc rode a giant dick mechanical bull very well and pink pantheress came up to him saying she likef his face reveal but he didn't recognize her

then he played a bunch of original demos of twwth songs and fruit and fbm performed some sort of ritual dance to them while he was afk

and he said he hadwanted to make paranoid a single but the label disagreed and played the version with "like me loving you"

then he said "back when tommy and I were friends" and laughed

he had sent the demo of uieud to technodad before it was finished to get his thoughts and ask if it was okay to release before he finished it

he played unreleased songs and revealed a minecraft themed song with parker

sapnap joined the stream while dream was tryharding parkour and had a one sided conversation about how great it was to talk to friends while dream was silently parkouring

dream got a new pb!! shaved off a whole 8 seconds right at the end

Maybe im just new to the fandom, but does george prottect dream? From antis or crazy fans? Thats the main reason why i like dnn more than dnf, sapnap seems to be willing to fight people that are mean to dream

Genuinely curious, as i said im very new and dont know a lot

hii ok first off sorry this is late i got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday LMAOO and working up a coherent response was way too much work 💀

so yeah i wouldn’t say george is as outrightly blatant as sapnap has been in the past ifl like he prefers being passive aggressive and shady in public, but he’s def not like. neutral — i’ve said some of this before but his support tends to b stuff like liking tiktoks making fun of dream antis, backing him up when he makes statements, going inactive along w him during controversies/being w him when he does return on stream, commenting that the stuff antis say doesn’t matter and that dream knows the truth, joking ab how stupid the shit ppl get mad at dream ab is on streams and making bits out of it (like in 2020 dream got bs hate for “rigging the minecraft mob vote” by pledging his support to a mob he liked and stood down from making a comment on his preference in 2021, while george made a point to mock that for DAYS by going way over the top w a joke ab how he was “rigging the vote.”), stuff like that!! and i think in general being a big part of dreams personal support system and safety net is massive and being there for him in private is vital af, ++ i’m sure dream makes a point of privately discouraging his friends from taking fire on his behalf

n ab what u said ab dnn, i think that’s where i find the already existing DREAM TEAM so perfect yk? like they balance each other super well, and fulfill those roles ur talking ab as a friend group already in my eyes. i personally don’t see anything romantic between them as a trio, but i find everything ab their platonic bonds w each other so so important and crucial :’) but U obv ship what u want urself though that’s just my take

and welcome to the fandommm my asks and dms r always open if u have any questions at all!!! hope ur having fun mwah

#asks #i love how ur priorities in ur preferred dream ship is him getting protected LMAOOO ur just like me fr

im so emotional !!! like karl said yesterday how excited he is to be living close to another streamer finally and it’s like !!!! he’s gonna have one of his best friends nearby and they’re able to just casually stream without worrying about creating super hype content or stressing out about how much time they have with each other cause they’re just together :( literally foolish said today it’s just like any other stream where karl would join vc except now he can do it in real life AND I WANT THAT FOR DREAM TEAM

#i want george walking into the room and no stress about time zones PLEASE #asks #thank u anon <3

Xmas 2023: Dead Culture Reigns

Christmas is progressing as I write this with nothing but inevitability. Too much money has been spent. Too much alcohol drunk. Too many people eating too much. Even more people not eating enough. Far too many sleeping in the streets. Looking around the media at least, it seems like nothing truly ever changes; just as many wish it to be. Christmas is a child fantasy orchestrated by adults who refuse to grow up, preyed upon by those who only wish to make money from the process.

This is a time of inviability; finely tuned to reduce surprises. Although for the first time in a long time, the music charts were a battle ground for the coveted Xmas Number 1 Slot; fought out between two songs that are forty years old and one that is thirty years old. All of which beats the Simon Cowell annual stitch up for sure, but has no other culturally worthwhile feature.

There are new Christmas songs, but no one hears them because radio does not do it’s job of presenting new music for people to decide themselves if they like it or not. The creative powers behind Last Christmas and Fairytale of New York are both gone now. George Michael it seems was beaten down by a music business that wanted him in a box, to be taken out at their whim to make money doing the same album over and over. He had other ideas. Shane MacGowan was also someone judged by the same industry, not least for daring to give us songs about injustice, the vile actions of the British state in Ireland, the working class history of standing up to power, or just the humanity of those rejected by society and left in the streets. Few obituaries discussed his politics. Some mentioned his support for a free Ireland; none that I have seen mentioned his support for a free Palestine.

Now the same powers just want us to download or stream or however you do it; the same songs because no one is allowed to make new ones, unless of course they sound like autotuned versions of the old ones.

But no, I must be dreaming. There are no other options, only what has come before can be repeated – from shit music to failed economic programmes. There can be nothing new, ever. There can never be any genuine progress.

TV was just as empty. All the usual Christmas specials of yesterday (and the day before; and the day before that) were on again. If you missed them, you could catch them on streaming, or another satellite channel that exists purely to make you believe no culture has existed since the late 1970s. The figures came out Boxing Day stating that the King’s speech had got millions of views or plays or however they grade it now. The most popular programmes were Doctor Who and Strictly Come Dancing – ‘no surprises there’ said the BBC commentator; you got that right mate.

Meanwhile, Channel 4, former bastion of all things alternative, gave us all the usual animation features they play every year and on Boxing Day had a double bill of The Great Escape, followed by Raiders of the Lost Ark. Beware that bleeding edge. Rather more seriously, their ‘alternative’ Christmas speech was from Stephen Fry, wearing his Jewish badge for a day and trying to make out he feels unsafe in a Britain that has large-scale demonstrations against the genocide being carried out by Israel against Palestinians (but, you know, Stephen and David Baddiel are the real victims here right?). He was once on a Channel 4 special for the gay community; now he advocates for extremists like Jordan Peterson, who has spent much of his career targeting trans people, who suffer vast levels of hate crime on a regular basis.

Netflix gave us a special from the only type of comedian that gets air time any more; unfunny rich cunts preoccupied with making themselves victims, pretending to be edgy telling the same jokes that would have filled the worst clubs of the 1970s, while claiming they are being cancelled everywhere.

The message is clear; we the establishment and their useful tools have made great efforts to shut down society to any alternative to what we like. The fact this has lead to a near-total shut down of culture does not matter; we are in control. Who wants anything new anyway?

Shallow. Empty. Pointless. Repetitive.

The project has finally taken hold and now it seems we cannot produce anything new. The uniqueness that once sprung forth from streets and towns has been beaten out of us. What do you expect really from a society that prises the middle class followers for their lack of talent and makes sure we all have to consume it daily. Those who never try to step out of their lane and more importantly, shut down the lanes to real creatives, are the only people rewarded. The working class need to understand that Britain can never allow another Beatles, Gang of Four, The Fall or The Pogues. There cannot be another Grime scene. Nothing that shows the raw power of working class creativity and for sure, we cannot allow anything to succeed that is born of the multiculturalism we have spent so much time and effort decrying.

Britain is dead. It is specifically culturally dead because we are incapable of producing anything new. We all know why, it has ben gone over so many times. This is the cultural outlet to fascism. The mythic past and how much better it is than the present is really just a tool to further cancel the future.

The establishment needs to be relieved of their power. The slate should be wiped clean and we can start over, with the priority given to working class creativity because this is always where the best stuff comes from. End the hegemonic control exercised by the worst people imaginable, who go from giving us nothing to live for culturally to justifying the mass murder of a people who make them feel uncomfortable. We must refuse to be a part of this any more. It is no longer just about crap TV and music; it is about power and who can imagine a better tomorrow – and how much they are allowed to.

i found your blog through a post about how sapnap's kick stream was pretty chill despite people having meltdowns insisting kick chat was toxic. i scrolled through your blog and honestly you're one of the most normal people ive seen regarding the recent drama. not freaking out, not hating on sapnap, having your own opinion but being chill about it. glad to have found a good blog to follow 🫡

halo !!! sorry for replying late i was eepy ( that's why i missed sapnap stream rip )

but hey, welcome aboard any sapnap stan refugees 🫡 my blog is dedicated with loving and understanding dteam moved, and i love sapnap as much as i love dream and george even though i don't always talk about him <3

people in this community always said "you can't change the thing that impossible" i was like "why would you think that ? why you assumed it when it not even happened yet" those people used to say thing can be changed and now spitting those sentences and it was bullshit. just because you couldn't see it physically doesn't mean it isn't changing. they got offened by the first step and ignored the rest of processing, of course you gonna think it's impossible to change, because you didn't give it a chance to show

sapnap's intention is good but it hasn't happened yet. and truly, i didn't trust much, but i saw the potential after yesterday stream, so i devote with him, support him and will watch his journey to do this wish despite it has a lot of impossible difficulties.

i followed sapnap before he moved in with dream, i followed sapnap since his frist meetup with skeppy, i watched his journey and he has become more and more mature everyday and i understand he's a good kid with good intentions, people just need to give him a chance to let him show.

im glad that you found my blog safe since it's kinda delulu but hey, it's dream team forever 🫡

#if anyone wanna talk more bout kick sapummy then freely to ask i will give you more analytic answers since i didn't talk it deeply #rotaskie #anon ask #sapummy #refugees
