I'm so offended that I missed Roier's entire BOTW stream but I'm even MORE offended that I, as a Mexican and the biggest Zelda fan ever, have never seen this video Roier watched at the start of stream.
(This is the video in case anyone wants to see the full thing!)
I haven't said much about the QSMP Admin situation on Royal Archivist because I don't think every issue needs commentary from the peanut gallery, especially since most comments rarely contribute anything meaningful to the wider conversation.
However—
It's very sad seeing how hostile people are being towards each other right now. I know there are a lot of strong emotions and opinions about this issue (understandably– I've been in this situation many times as a freelancer, I Get It) but that does not excuse the behavior I've seen, nor does it excuse the hate, racism, harassment, and xenophobia.
Regardless of your opinion on how well things are being handled right now, and regardless of whether or not you want to step away from the series or continue engaging with it while trusting things will be resolved — harassing fellow fans, ex-admins or current admins, CCs, the French union, etc. doesn't help anyone.
There is NO excuse for spreading hate on behalf of anyone or anything, be it the server, Quackity, the admins, the other workers, or anyone else. This isn't the Crusades; you aren't fighting a holy war in the name of God, you're on social media fighting about a Minecraft series. Put the pitchforks down and take a break.
I'm not gonna get into my opinion on the matter (on here) further than this because like I said, peanut gallery talk and all that, but I've seen how amazing the QSMP community is, and how amazing we can be, I want our community to improve just like I want the server to improve.
Be kinder to each other, and take a break if you need to! It's important for us to be kind to ourselves too. If things are making you extremely distressed, it's better to take a step away from things.
In the wise words of FitMC: when in doubt, log the fuck out!
Fit: No one's gonna be homophobic in this village anymore 'cuz we've got the gay crystals here! No one is going to be homophobic in this village any longer!
Ramon: gg --> gay gnomes
Fit: [Laughs] That's right. They heard you were being homophobic so they had to come kill a couple of horses, you know? It's- yeah, it's the Gay Gnome mafia, is what this is.
Pac: Gay Gnome mafia? [Laughs] Maybe you're gonna wake up tomorrow and... all your stables gonna be gone and all your horses gonna be dead, and BOOM! The gnomes gonna be–
Ramon: but we are gay friendly so...
Pac: Oh yeah, we are gay-friendly, yeah, you're right, you're right Ramon. They wouldn't do such a thing.
Fit: [Laughs] Wait, Ramon– we're not just gay-friendly, we are GAY.
Featuring: the Town of Fobo, the Gay Gnome mafia, and Fit and Pac explaining to Ramon why they're more than just "gay-friendly."

Fit: No one's gonna be homophobic in this village anymore 'cuz we've got the gay crystals here! No one is going to be homophobic in this village any longer!
Pac: [Laughs] "The gay crystals..."
Fit: It is NOT happening!
Ramon: gg --> gay gnomes
Pac: [Laughs] "GG: Gay Gnomes"
Fit: [Laughs] That's right. They heard you were being homophobic so they had to come kill a couple of horses, you know? Yeah!
Pac: Yeah! Yeah, that- yeah! Perfect, perfect, that's the story, you know- that's the lore behind it.
Fit: It's- yeah, it's the Gay Gnome mafia, is what this is.
Pac: Gay Gnome mafia? [Laughs]
Fit: They heard they were being homophobic.
Pac: Maybe you're gonna wake up tomorrow and... all your stables gonna be gone and all your horses gonna be dead, and BOOM! The gnomes gonna be-
Fit: The gnomes, the gnomes! You know? The gnomes! They strike again.
Pac: [Laughs] The gnomes!
[Fit and Pac practice the Portuguese pronunciation of "gnomes"]
Ramon: but we are gay friendly so...
Pac: Oh yeah, we are gay-friendly, yeah, you're right, you're right Ramon.
Fit: Yeah, they're not g-
Pac: They wouldn't do such a thing.
Fit: [Laughs] Wait, Ramon– we're not just gay-friendly, we are GAY.
[Fit and Pac laugh while Ramon faceplants, Pac joining him on the ground faceplanting next to him moments later]
Pac: Ramon! That's even- that's- that's even better, Fit! They wouldn't even like- they wouldn't even get close to us, you knwo?
Fit: That's right, that's right.
[They both laugh]
Fit: That's r- oh wow, oh this... Good times, good times, good times.
Pac: Good times.
[They both laugh again]
Fit: Oh man... Good times on the QSMP, you love to see it, love to see it.
Pac: It's too much coins, you know? It's too much money! 10,000 coins, that's a lot of money!
Fit: No, for you? It's worth it. What's mine is yours, what's mine is yours, Pac.
Pac: Aww... No, I- [Stammers and laughs] You broke me, I don't even know what to say! Not even in Portuguese!
Fit: It's all good Pac, you know, 'cuz– we're a family, so we gotta stick together!
Pac: The best family ever, thank you so much. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Can we hug?
I still frequently think about how sweet it was that Fit gave Pac enough coins to help him unlock Create. It was something that meant a lot to both q!Pac and cc Pac, and it was really sweet to see. :')

Fit: So, you're trying to unlock Create, right?
Pac: Uh-huh, yes. I have 5,700 coins and 15,000 missing.
Fit: So... I was talking with Ramon, and it turns out that– well, I've been trying to unlock Create so that Ramon can use it, but since you are technically– you count as his father... If you unlock Create, it means that Ramon will be able to use it as well. So what I'm gonna do Pac, I'm gonna give you all my coins so you can unlock Create really soon, so that way Ramon can have it.
Pac: WHAT? No– really? Are you serious, are you being serious?
Fit: Yeah! because I'm not planning to use Create, I was just going to unlock it for Ramon, so if you have it, then he gets to use it too. So everyone- everyone wins. Everyone's happy.
Pac: [Stammers] What- I- I- I don't have words to thank you. Thank you so much, Fit! But that's so much money, we can't spend it on these things now!
Fit: Well, ok– so I want to give you– I just want to have a few extra for emergency cookies. If I give you 10,000 coins, would that be ok?
Pac: I- really? I- I- [Stammers] I don't even know what- what to say, Fit!
Fit: Yeah, yeah! I mean, you know, I just– I just– you know, I think... it just works out for everyone.
Pac: It's too much coins, you know? It's too much money!
Fit: No, no...
Pac: 10,000 coins, that's a lot of money!
Fit: No, for you? It's worth it. What's mine is yours, what's mine is yours, Pac. What's mine is yours.
Pac: Aww... No, I- [Stammers and laughs] You broke me, I don't even know what to say! Not even in Portuguese!
Fit: Oh, well– it's all good Pac, it's all good, you know, 'cuz– we're a family, so we gotta stick together!
Pac: The best family ever, thank you so much. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you so much Ramon for the [ ??? ]. How cool. Can we hug?
Fit: Of course, of course, of course! Bring it in, Ramon. Bring it in, bring it in. There we go.
Pac: Thank you so much Fit, thank you so much Ramon. I will repay you. I will try to be the best Create-user of all.
Fit: Oh, sweet. Yeah, I have complete faith in you, Pac. I know you can do it.
Pac: Thank– like, with great things comes great responsibility, right?
Fit: Oh yeah, mhmm!
Pac: I think uhm, from- from– I don't know who said that, but you know, I will try my best to use the Create as smart as I can so I can get some resources for you as well, Fit. And I'm gonna pay you back! If you- if you actually handed me like, 10,000 coins, oh my god that's so much money! [Laughs]
Fit: No, you don't have to pay me back, Pac. You don't have to pay me back.
Pac: R-re– Ok, are you sure about–? I insist, you know?
Fit: Oh, just having you around is payment enough, Pac! Just having you around is payment enough.
Pac: Oh, that's so sweet Fit, I'm speechless, you know. I'm speechless. Thank you so much! Like, oh my god–
Elliot: The fresh air of this valley is good for body and mind.
Fit: Bro's looking like a Disney character like every time we run into him. He reminds me of like, if you've seen Beauty and the Beast, when the Beast is like, human. That's what it reminds me of.
Fit: Yeah, I'm Tio Fabio, this guy's ACTUALLY Fabio.
I'll be deleting this in an hour or so, so get it now if you want it!
If you missed today's Pac livestream and are lamenting over the VOD being deleted, don't worry! I recorded the entire thing:
[ Google Drive ]
Please keep in mind that this VOD is almost 4 and a half hours long, so it's a pretty big file! For the time being, Google will probably give you a "File is still being processed. Try again in a few minutes" notice, but it's available to download now if you're impatient. I uploaded it as an MKV file since it preserves the quality of the stream a bit better than an MP4.
As usual, I'll leave this file up for 48 hours! This file will be deleted on Wednesday, April 17.
Phil: That's crazy– by the way, what's up with you FCKIN THREATENING Missa? Get those cat ears off.
Bad: What the fudge are you talking about? I would never do that! Threaten someone? That's crazy!
Phil: I literally have– I literally have a note from him that says... uh hold on, let me find it. Let me find it, where is it. Sht, I lost it.
Bad: Read the note? What does it say.
Phil: [Grumbling] I lost it.
Bad: You have a lot of penguins by the way, you should really do something about that.
Phil: [Grumbles] I don't know where I put the note. [Laughs]
Bad: [Trying not to laugh] Well, if the note doesn't exist... I guess it wasn't real!
Phil: Shut up! [Laughs] Alright, here it is, here it is. [To Tubbo] CAN YOU STOP?! Oh my god, Toby! Holy sht, alright.
Bad: He wants more, Tubbo!
Phil: Here here here, look. [Reading Missa's book] "Don't trust Badboyhalo, he killed some rabbits I worked with some raccoons and he killed those guys too. I'm so scared, please help, holy molly canoli. He threatened me. Take care of our beautiful eggs, I don't want to put you guys in danger." You threatened– you threatened Missa.
Bad: That's crazy, I didn't know Missa wrote fanfiction! That's crazy. What a crazy story!
Phil: [Phil punches him] I'm so done with your sht. [Laughs] I'm so done with—
