Here's a Chayanne plushie I've made!

And happy birthday to the bestest boy to ever exist! Thank you to all the admins, who played Chayanne over this year!

Time flies, it's crazy, yet it all feels like yesterday when I saw him for the first time and fell in love with the silly little egg character.

The plush Chayanne's a little traveler, he traveled with me to Rome!

#IMPORTANT!

Hello! I've been inactive due to the current events in the mcyt community, but I've been keeping up with the qsmp admin situation and I thought I'd share some opinions because the amount of doomposting I've seen the last few weeks has been more than I've seen in any fandom in a while and I feel like it's reached the point where people really need to chill the fuck out because they're not thinking straight and actively not helping. Everything I'm gonna say is based on stuff I've seen on both tumblr and twitter.

they should not promote/release merch! : one of the things that baffles me the most tbh; how do you expect any employee to be payed then? Merch is so far the only big source of income for the server besides q's own cc salary or whatever income they get through the official qsmp channel on twitch and youtube (which I don't think is a lot). "I get that they said they have no funds, but still it doesn't feel right"... sorry but at this point I don't know what to tell you, do you expect them to pull money out of their asses? You can't demand that they stop making merch and then complain that they can't afford the twitter admins at the same time. If you don't feel comfortable buying anything from them it's fine obviously, but if your reason for it is that you're helping the admins then I have bad news for you. I have seen people propose that quackity sets up a patreon, and while I think it would be a good idea, I understand why he's not doing it, since with the merch he can at least give something back to the people that choose to support his project instead of people just giving him money for free, especially with what's happening now. Also with how much hate he's been receiving simply for the merch I can't imagine that a patreon would be recieved well.

we don't know if the money is going to the admins/ they should not use pomme's likeness! : the money is definitely going to go to the employees and admins because otherwise the server would not last. And as much as I understand people feeling protective over pomme's admin, quackity studios is very much allowed to sell merch of the character because it is not the likeness of the admin, it's a minecraft model made by the people that work there. Would you have rathered they skip her character entirely? Do you really think that would have been okay?. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen posts and tweets saying that pomme's admin has been confirmed to come back with the other eggs whenever it happens by pierre, who talked with her admin.

the admins of the update accounts got fired, it means they want to fire everyone, they aren't making things better! : it sucks that the updates accounts had to end and I feel bad for every twitter admin that clearly cared a lot about the project, but unfortunately it had to happen if there simply isn't enough money to pay them adequately like they deserved and ultimately the update accounts were not essential to keep the project going, so it makes sense that they were let go unfortunately. This is not gonna be the case for the egg admins because if they got fired (which they didn't), the server would basically end. Just because a cc does not know when they will be back does not mean it's not gonna happen. Just because tubbo randomly said that he's not sure if they will be back does not mean they were fired; tubbo is normally not a reliable source of information, even less so when he's been live nonstop for the past 20 days, which is prior to everything happening. If you genuinely didn't expect a reduction in non essential staff considering everything, then you have unreasonable expectations on how this stuff goes. As I write this, I'm seeing people saying that "they would understand this decision if q had set up a patreon to pay the admins", and once again I don't understand how people don't realize why quackity might not be keen on the idea of having his fans pay his own employees for his own project instead of, you know, doing it himself; and, again, do not fool yourself into thinking it would be recieved well. That being said, it's fair to criticize how everything was communicated to the admins, but I'll get to this in more detail later.

quackity should not have uninstalled social media, he's trying to avoid everything! : he's not avoiding anything, he's been off social media for a while now, which is why it took him that long to remove wilbur from the server. He has every right to not want to look at social media, as his focus should be on restructuring his server instead of doomscrolling on twitter because people think he needs to see how much people dislike him. The only people that he should talk to are those that have important information to tell him, like josè with the document. He explicitly said on stream where to contact him if you have helpful information and I'm sure that despite multiple well liked posts saying not to spam his email, people are definitely doing it anyway, which is probably gonna slow the whole thing down even more. I hope josè's document is able to be seen with pierre's help as well.

quackity studios is not communicating with their employees and leaving them in the dark and that's not okay : I agree with this. i think a huge chunk of doomposting lately has been due the lack of communication not with the audience, but with the admins, and they deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes more then us since this is about their current or future job.... that being said, I do kind of understand why they're being so secretive and shutting everyone out, and that's due to all the "leaks" that have been spread online. I understand the anger but I really wish some people would realize that discussing leaked bts lore stuff in ccs discord servers does not help the situation at all and instead makes it seem like they're only doing this to rile up the fandom against quackity studios by using the lore of people's fav characters.

At the end of the day, I think people just aren't used to dealing with a situation that does not have a clear cut solution and someone to clearly hate, so the result is this doomposting and the over aggressiveness toward anything related to the project. Personally, I haven't witnessed anything that made me lose faith in the qsmp like some people have been saying, as every change that we've seen so far coincides with what quackity said on stream a while ago. I only wish things were communicated properly to the admins clearly, as they're the ones most affected, so I hope that's resolved soon. Ultimately quackity is singlehandedly restructuring the server from basically zero, has had to fire people that were misusing money and power and, depending on what josè's document said, is probably gonna have to fire some more. This is not an easy process, nor a quick one, you're not gonna hear about sunshine and rainbows for a while and doomposting about everything you hear because you expected quick change is useless. Think before you speak, have a clear head and most importantly have empathy.

#rb #I subscribe under everything here #pomme merch is a 'damned if you damned if you don't' situation #if you think merch is distasteful to release at this time then don't buy it #'but what if the money goes to the higher-ups instead of the egg admins' but what if it doesn't? #i wish people assumed the best about others #but unfortunately twitter has a 'guilty until proven guilty' mentality #a private statement to anyone is in effect a public statement since everything is being leaked #<- whoever said that #you're so right #does it justify the lack of communication? no #lackluster insider communication is my biggest concern in all of this #this is a lot of words

Hello, tumblr users! Yesterday I saw this post on Twitter and I completely agree with the op. We've done this song and dance before.

If we all were to, hypothetically, create opt-in blogs, we have an opportunity to do something VERY FUNNY.

If we were, let's say, post large quantities of definitelly NOT Nightshaded images. I've heard that feeding AI generated images back into the machine does absolutely no harm to the AI. ;)

Or we could all become hyperfixated on posting Disney art and scripts, I'm sure the big mouse's legal team will love to have genAI be trained on their IPs.

As for language models, I'm not so knowledgeable, but we could start making posts that absolutely make complete sense, do not spread blatant misinformation and are not plain gibberish.

Problem being: a significant amount of all posts on the platform will need to be 100% normal definitely non-sabotage posts and it's not clear to me how and when the sale of this information will take place. I, like a lot of people, am assuming that the first round of data was already been sold with no announcement made and it's not clear to me if any subsequent sales will be made (although I'm assuming so).

#all I'm saying is #it will be VERY FUNNY

MAKING A LONG FURBY CARRIER BACKPACK

The most universal problem we all share is the utter length of our furbies. Tho beautiful, gracious and completely other worldly, it is not very portable.

Furbies are meant to explore the world and cause chaos among simple mortals. Now we can help them with also having both hands free!

Perfect for festival season or simple everyday activities like going to court, your beloved friend can accompany you everywhere!

I started with creating pattern that uses my boy’s anatomy to its advantage. Arm holes hold onto him and it will fasten with two buckles.

The mock-up fits him perfectly!

Those are materials I used:

beautiful purple cotton fabric that complements Topson’s fur

thick polyester for lining

white felt for the layer in between

black strap + plastic thingy that I don’t know the name of to make adjustable backpack straps

buckles

Firstly I sewn cotton fabric with inner lining fabric and turned it right side out.

Felt goes inside and the thing is closed with stitch all around.

Then I drew the arm holes and sewn around them similar to how you make button holes.

Next goes the buckles.

Topson tried it on and it fits perfectly!

It’s time for backpack straps. I sewn two layers together, flipped it and stuffed it with poly stuffing.

Then I added the adjustable mechanism.

The straps go on the harness and it is done!

I’m so excited to share it with you all! This project was on my mind for so long and I finally managed to finish it. Stay tuned for second part where I will be decorating the carrier and of course for some new content with Topson terrorizing the civilians and attempting malicious acts.

Peace, stay long 💚

#oh my GOD THANK YOU #I've been thinking about making a carrier of sortst but haven't gotten around to it #I will definitely make one #my only hurdle is her wings but I'll figure it out #rb
