DSMP Place-Name Suffixes and Meanings

kind of maybe accidentally some prose? I DIDNT MEAN TO I SWEAR

L’manberg and Manberg———

The suffix, “-berg,” or, “-burg,” comes from the German word for castle or fortress. Since many castles ended up becoming starting points for greater civilization/urbanization, the suffix became almost a synonym for city.

L’manberg was a small patch of land, defined by it’s towering walls. It was built with the intent of protecting its inhabitants. It evolved, over time, to be a sprawling mess of homes and shops, roads and churches, museums, plazas- it grew to be a town. Open without it’s walls, a fortress no longer. Then, a crater. The citizens it swore to protect having fled, having abandoned it if they could, lest they help bring it down.

Pogtopia———————————

“Topia,” essentially just means any geographical place. It isn’s a civilization, town, city, anything, just a place. It could also be used to indicate a paradise.

This name feels like a sick irony. It was just a place. First, it was a campaign, a political group aiming for their version of utopia. Then, it was a ravine. It was a time period, defined only by it’s geographical separation from home. It devolved, festering mania and unwellness, self destruction and spiraling, all the while bearing the name of paradise.

Snowchester-————————-

When a place-name ends in -chester, it indicates a military camp or fort. Chester meaning, “place of soldiers.”

Snowchester itself was a last-ditch attempt at safety. It’s secluded and armed, the base of operations for nuclear weaponry. Truly, it was a place of soldiers. A place of Tubbo and Jack, two weary and sharp war veterans, trying to feel safe. Equally, it was a place of protection and family. Of, “I will be strong so you can be safe.”

Logstedshire-————————

Stead means, “enclosed pasture,” in Old English. A place-name ending in, “shire,” indicates that it is owned or governed by a government official. It is also the French word for, “county.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a shire as, “a town where a court of superior jurisdiction…sits.”

Logstedshire; an enclosed pasture. A plains biome, sprawling and open, but so muted. So closed. Confined. Trapped. A place of harsh discipline, with a, “superior jurisdiction,” looming over its lonely occupant. How mocking to call it a county, an extension of a homeland, when it’s sole purpose was to be separate from it. Enclosed pasture, ruled by a superior jurisdiction, with a feeble string tying it to L’manberg in the form of the title, “county.” Enclosed forevermore, harboring the abuse like a time capsule, ash and dust undisturbed.

Boomerville and Rutabagville—

“-ville,” is a suffix used to indicate a village/town, or in the Middle Ages, a farming community.

Two towns, built for the purpose of getting away from the chaos, of having a small, peaceful land. Built so the few inhabitants could say, “I live here, I work here, the sun is gentle on my front porch.” So far out of the way that no one would notice if they just…disappeared. No one would bother check. One town abandoned, one town robbed. Both lay empty, at the end of the day.

We do not talk enough about c!Niki during L'Manberg and Manberg!!! She openly defied c!Schlatt and never gave up on her nation, trying to rally the remaining citizens and keep them hopeful. She tried to get Quackity to turn on Schlatt and almost succeded, and even when she was imprisoned she stared her captors in the eyes and told them to starve. And it's not like she wasn't afraid and didn't want to run!! She and Karl built Rutabagville to live in peace away from it all and she wanted to go there so bad but she still stayed! even when she saw what was going down in Pogtopia, even when she saw the TNT Wilbur had placed underneath the podium, she stayed. We always talk about Tommy saying to not give up on people, but Niki was right beside him in the frontline!! And when everything went down, when her blind faith led her to crash and burn, she let that hurt fester into hate towards L'Manberg but mainly towards herself. She blamed herself so terribly that she isolated and starved herself for weeks. She burnt down the L'Mantree because it was the last shred of L'Manberg which survived, and she herself was L'Manberg. She says it best in her Doomsday monologue:

"L'Manberg is dead and so is Wilbur! [Laughing]. It's gone! It's gone! I am- I am gone. L'Manberg is gone…I am L'Manberg…I need to get to my bakery. I need to get to my bakery. My bakery is gone…my bakery is L'Manberg…I am L'Manberg…this is my life. The smell of bread…I need to get to my bakery."

She's the character ever c!Niki I'm so sorry you were treated like that

During the negotiations to annex Rutabagville into Manberg.

Karl, The president of Rutabagville. Sitting on Argus’ (the first gentleman of Rutagbaville) shoulders to kiss Quackity (Vice President of Manberg) through the window of the White House so Schlatt doesn’t find out.

Not to be on a kick or anything but.

Imagine if there was no Kinoko Kingdom. No after the tales that established that place. Okay but, hear me out.

Imagine, instead, Karl decided he needs to move his library away from L’Manhole and he moves away, asks his friends to help build a library with him and they agree despite not being good at building. Karl had saw this flower biome that was very pretty and he decides that he wants to put it in this mountain by this pond he thought was cute. Chat says Niki lives there but there’s an abandoned barn and that’s it and he keeps going. So they get to work and make it and it’s ugly but they throw around jokes while making it and it means something. And Karl builds and offshoot of a room to put his more sensitive information.

And another stream or so later Karl logs on and Niki’s on and he sees her under there and texts in chat and she ends up going up there after seeing his name tag. She sees this library that is obviously Karl’s and is a bit upset, remembering the fallout of Rutabagville but they get to talking and Karl apologizes, saying he misunderstood chat when they said this was her land. And Niki thinks the place is cute and despite the past is ready to continue to move on, so she suggests building a staircase from her place to up there and it can be a tiny part of it. The only above building of her village. And Karl agreeing bc he actually needs somewhere to stay and a place where he can get materials easily on an agreement is smth he needs since he isn’t one for grinding. He refers Sapnap to living down there as well knowing Sapnap doesn’t want to live in the greater smp area bc old memories are making him feel shitty and they get a room(s?) in her village and help give Niki materials so she isn’t doing it herself. George makes a temporary room and they mess around down there while Niki is building. They’ll wave hi or just bother her (/lh) and go off and do whatever and repair anything they accidentally break.

Imagine them asking for bbh for tips to make it a bit nicer and they work with them. Adding stuff to make it a bit prettier. Adding the mushroom thing bc there had been one close by and George suggests the block to be in it. And they put it around and bbh gives them directions and they actually listen to his advice so they can do it for themselves and they add stuff on the inside, and you can tell what parts of Niki’s base have been invaded by Karl, Sapnap, and George because there are bits of mushroom there.

They become citizens of a different place instead of making their own. They are part of a community that wants them there. Karl is allowed to have his interpersonal lore while having a beloved place to house him that he doesn’t need to worry about running and doesn’t have him in turn step over and on top of other people’s lore.

Imagine things are slightly different and it works out for the better with no tension.

Dream SMP Recap (October 23/2021) - Tina and Jikishi

The SMP gains two new members: Tina and Jikishi.

While the tours go smoothly and Karl attempts to recruit the two into Kinoko, things take a turn as Quackity tries to convince Tina to pursue a campaign for President, teaching her the ways of thievery, extortion and blackmail.

---

VOD LINKS:

Foolish

GeorgeNotFound

Tina

---

- Tina joins the server at Spawn! Karl, Sapnap, Quackity, Punz and Callahan all meet there to give her a tour

- Karl and Sapnap teach Tina about crafting tables. Callahan gives birth to a chicken

- Jikishi logs in!

- They take her to Church Prime and baptize her

- Jikishi joins the group. Sapnap tells Tina the story of the server, and how everything was peaceful until Tommy attacked, how Sapnap got into a fight with Ponk and killed Dream with Tommy, starting the Disc War

- He takes her to the ruins of L’manburg and tells her about Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur, Fundy and Eret founding the country. Then he speedruns telling her the story of Schlatt’s Administration and of Tubbo exiling Tommy. He doesn’t know what really happens, but Tommy comes back and Dream and Techno team up to destroy L’manburg (with a dragon, according to Karl)

- But they found out that it was actually Dream who was doing all these mischievous acts! Sapnap doesn’t know why, but he did. So Tommy and Tubbo went to confront him and get their discs back

- Everything everyone ever loved, Dream took. Dream was going to kill Tubbo – and if you die three times, you’re gone forever. But then, the avengers arrived – Sapnap and everyone else came and stopped Dream

- During this whole time, Dream was making a prison. And the irony of it all is that the prison was where they took Dream after the confrontation

Sapnap: “We will take you where Dream resides.”

Tina: “Dream’s house? His little home?”

- Sapnap misses Dream and it’s a sensitive subject. Tina suggests they say hi, but Sapnap explains that they can’t just see him. They have to schedule a visit

- They go to Pandora’s Vault. Tina doesn’t think they should just leave Dream there. Sapnap says there is not a day that goes by that he doesn’t think about Dream, but Dream can’t be freed

- Sapnap tells Tina that he, Karl and George made a country together and they take her there. Karl whispers to Tina that he’s planning on scamming Niki, but to not tell anyone

- When they get to Kinoko, Jikishi joins VC. They go to the nightclub and Sapnap kills Callahan with rap. Karl and Sapnap offer the two newcomers residency in Kinoko

- Dream and all the Kinoko citizens are the only ones invited to Karl and Sapnap’s wedding. Karl also wants Sapnap to build a military

- Sapnap and Karl explain to Tina that Quackity is actually also their fiance, but he doesn’t live in Kinoko. Sapnap starts confronting Karl about why Quackity doesn’t live with them, and who was supposed to invite him...

- Tina gets a pet llama

- Karl and Sapnap return to Sapnap’s house to sleep. Jikishi and Tina talk about what they think of Kinoko. Karl then walks them back to the main area

- They go to the cat cafe and Jikishi puts on a catmaid skin. Karl shows them Party Park, Boomerville and Corpse’s house

- Karl thought he invited Quackity, who was the founder of their previous nation, but instead Quackity went off and made his own Seattle-looking nation. Tina wants to see it

- They discover HBomb and Niki’s cat cafe and try to steal the cats, but H logs on and scares them away

- They reach Las Nevadas. Tina is impressed, but Karl’s not a fan. He takes them over to Rutabagville

- On the cake path, Karl asks Bad if he wants to introduce the two to the Badlands

- Callahan is hungry at Kinoko so Bad, Jikishi and Tina go running back. Bad explains that Kinoko is actually encroaching on Badlands territory, and there may be issues. Jikishi pulls Tina aside and says he’s a bit scared at the sound of that

- Bad shows them Eret’s Castle and the animal sanctuary on the way. They get back to Callahan and feed him. Punz and Quackity join VC and they tell Quackity that they saw Las Nevadas and he questions if they paid the toll

- Quackity tells Tina that if she can provide him with a trident, he will give her Netherite armor. He tells the same to Jikishi, but Tina says that she can. Quackity gets annoyed at Jikishi and says he can just have the armor then

- Tina tells Quackity about her dog, Callahan, and Quackity asks what brand he is

- Quackity asks them if they have any products that could benefit the business of Las Nevadas. If they want to be rich, Las Nevadas is the place

- He offers to set them up with a meeting. Karl points out he’s the one who made a separate country. Quackity laughs and says he has no regrets

- Tina finds it sad that Dream is in prison and doesn’t get why he has to be there...

- Quackity says to meet them at Tommy’s house, but Hulk Hogan stops them along the path. Hulk Hogan turns into a shadow demon thing of some sort and offers to show them the forgotten places. Tails, of the SMP, joins them

- They find that Quackity’s old basement room has been destroyed. Quackity wants to rebuild it, so they do. Quackity tells them that he’s the QRS – Quackity Revinue System, which collects taxes, and he wants them to help him with it

- Antfrost logs on. Karl accidentally calls Quackity Sapnap. Jikishi rebels, so Callahan shoots him and Quackity kills him. They run over to get him back and they find Antfrost

- Quackity wants them to get back to work. He makes them diamond tools

- Antfrost turns into his maid outfit and Tina tries to bargain with him. She gives him a picture of Karl and he logs out with it. Callahan is upset

- They continue working on the room and find old Butcher Army maps

- They pray to Quackity, get a disc and Quackity takes Tina aside. The two steal from Bad’s house

- As the two walk along the path, Quackity tells Tina that he wants her to singlehandedly bring back glory to Dream SMP. Specifically, he wants her to be a politician, and he will invest in her campaign for President. What she needs is votes

- Tina stands at Wilbur’s revival shrine to practice giving speeches and campaigning. Karl briefly tries to attack her

- Tina has doubts, but Quackity insists that she needs to get her hands dirty in order to not be poor. Callahan becomes Tina’s security. Jikishi comes over. Callahan gives a heartwarming speech

- Bad comes over to get back his stuff that Tina stole from him, namely the Language sword. A fight breaks out.

- They get to Tommy’s house and Bad welcomes Tina to the SMP, eventually entrusting her with the Language sword temporarily

- Quackity whispers to her telling her to store it in her Ender Chest. She does so. Quackity tells Bad what she did and how she now has leverage over him to extort him with. Quackity teaches Tina to blackmail Bad for Netherite

- Bad points out that he gave Quackity several Netherite sets already. Tina feels bad, but Quackity whispers for her to ask for two Netherite sets instead

- Quackity tells Bad that Tina is going to be the next President. He gives in and tells her to give Bad back the sword, as it’s true that Bad has made him many sets already

Tina: “So you’re just using me – you’re using me as a pawn!”

Quackity: “Tina, I’ve always had your best interests in mind.”

- Quackity tells her to hand him the sword. Bad says he has Netherite for Tina. Tina has Bad’s sword...she gets the sword from her Ender Chest

- Tina figures Quackity isn’t even a part of this deal at all! But Quackity backs her down with his full armor and an axe, saying he’s part of the deal

- Quackity hits Tina and they call security on him, but Quackity stops and says to hand over the sword in exchange for a deal. The moment Tina takes the sword out of the chest, he says, he will take it from her

- Tina makes a break for her Ender Chest and puts the sword back in it. A thunderstorm rages in the background

Tina: “It feels so morally unjust, doesn’t it? Don’t you feel a pang of guilt? Not even a little?”

Quackity: “Don’t you talk about ‘morally unjust’ when you have this man’s sword in your Ender Chest.”

- Bad tries to take Tina aside one-on-one but Quackity intervenes. Tina quickly says that Quackity is a part of the deal and she wouldn’t betray his trust to cut him out of it like that

- Tina backs away and Antfrost drops her a Potion of Swiftness. She drinks it and runs to the Holy Land

Quackity: “That’s fine, Tina, because when you get there you’ll realize that your entire existence will depend on being on the Holy Land because even though you can’t die there, you know what’s gonna happen? You’re gonna live the rest of your days there, because I’m gonna be waiting for every waking moment that you step out of the Holy Land. You are going to die, Tina. You understand? And I’m gonna make that my life’s mission if I have to.”

- Tina shelters in the Church with Bad and Ant, who tell her that she’s safe there. Tina puts on Netherite armor that Bad gives her while Quackity watches and builds a small wall at the entrance

- Callahan comes running over and Karl rejoins the call. Both Tina and Quackity explain what happened to Karl, and Quackity and Tina have a confrontation in the Holy Land

- Karl leads them out of the Holy Land to see some fireworks. Tina tells Bad she feels like she messed up, but Bad tells her nothing but trouble comes of getting involved with Quackity

- Quackity comes over but doesn’t attack. Bad says she would have helped Tina anyway, and Tina tells Quackity she’s sorry, but he’s already left

- The subject returns to factions. They return to Kinoko, Jikishi not sure if he’s going to join.

- Tina thinks she should get Quackity a sorry present.

She doesn’t think he’s as bad as people make him out to be.

do you ever think about how selfless c!karl is? like, to a fault? he gives and gives and gives but he so rarely takes for himself.

karl cares so deeply for his friends and his fiancés (well, when he could remember them both). and i think that’s a big part of why he switched sides mid-war. even after Schlatt had annexed his own country (rutabagville), he switched sides to support them. and then he says himself when mexican l’manburg was created that it was his favorite place because that’s where his friends were, nevermind his home and party island in l’manburg. karl dies for mexican l’manburg. he literally sacrifices a life for his country and his friends, which is probably the ultimate act of selflessness.

and then he starts time traveling and he does have something for himself but he still protects others. he tries to save the people in the times he travels to and protect his friends from the weight of his secret all at once. he builds a new country so he can keep going back and helping people and doesn’t let anyone know about how his memory is deteriorating because it’s nobody’s burden but his.

i think that’s something that makes this decision between the inbetween and the other side so difficult. he’s drawn to the other side because it’s the selfless option, in his eyes. he gets to save so many people throughout the history and future of the server. literal lives lay in his hands. the inbetween is the more “selfish” option. it’s the option that preserves him and the one that’s he’s not compelled to take until he thinks about his friends. he knows that his memory loss could hurt them and that they’d be upset if he was just gone all the time. the inbetween would let him keep them in his life. as much as karl wants to choose the more selfless option, he finds the “selfish” one compelling for selfless reasons.

karl is selfless and that’s what makes this decision so difficult.
