(This is kind of an analysis on Q!BBH (in relation to Q!Forever’s trust issues). All of the following is about the character, not the CC)

One thing about yesterday’s stream, I know people are sad that 4halo (still don’t have a duo name) had a minor fight/falling-out due to Forever’s (JUSTIFIED) paranoia. But. I want to make one thing clear as a BBH main:

Bad did NOT mean to withhold any information from Forever. To my knowledge, he has never purposefully refused an opportunity to share important information with Forever, not even when he was worried about Forever’s mental health in the aftermath of Cellbit’s betrayal (he never got the chance to withhold anything lmao).

The problem here is not that Bad is keeping secrets from Forever, he really isn’t. Forever is being trusted more than I think he’s aware of, because he doesn’t realize that everyone else other than him knows next to nothing about Bad (with the exception of Foolish). Forever was the only person that - at least in spirit - had full, unrestrained access to Bad’s secret-est secret base up until Foolish also gained permission to enter recently. And he’s still the only person that Bad has ever allowed into Dapper’s private enderpearl stasis chamber room. Now I know that Bad broke the waystone pillar and therefore Forever lost his ability to enter, but he didn’t do it on purpose!

Bad is distracted, Bad is busy, Bad is constantly being pulled in a lot of different directions by a lot of different people a lot of the time. The only reason Forever doesn’t currently have access to Bad’s home is because he just hasn’t had a solid chance to take him there; and when he does have a chance, he doesn’t remember. Because, again, he’s kind of dealing with a lot right now please leave a message he’ll get back to you later and also did I mention he’s raising a child (and several other peoples’ children sometimes) all by himself?

Same issue today: Bad knows almost everything about almost everyone. And while part of that is because he’s prone to spying - an undeniably large part of it is also because almost everyone on the server trusts him enough to constantly drag him into lore whenever he appears. If you don’t watch Bad’s streams, you maybe wouldn’t know it - but some days it’s a fairly constant stream of “Hey Bad, can you come here?”

“Bad, we need to talk”

“Bad, I need you for something.”

“Bad, can we meet somewhere private? I have an extremely lore-heavy secret that I want to tell you - but you can’t tell anyone else or I will hate you eternally and kill you and curse your bloodline and never trust you again. Thanks, say hi to Dapper for me!” <- (that might be an exaggeration but you get my point)

Like. It’s a lot to stay on top of for one man, and sometimes Bad is gonna slip. Sometimes he’s not going to remember what information he needs to tell everyone, and what information he needs to take to his grave. Sometimes he’s gonna assume Forever already knows about a semi-well-known bit of important information. And, yes, sometimes his assumptions will be wrong; but he is being as open as he possibly can be with Forever.

Not to mention, just like Forever, Bad is also famously paranoid. He also has trust issues. It’s not exactly easy for him, either. But he’s trying, he really is trying. And Forever has a right to get upset about not being told information, but that doesn’t mean he’s right about Bad withholding information on purpose.

This is to say: Bad and Forever have a lot in common in terms of what they’ve been through and I don’t think they realize how much they trust each other.

TLDR; RIP to my man Q!Forever but Q!BBH has not done a single thing wrong in his entire life.

Well, ig it's time for me to talk about one of my favorite lores and streamers at this point.

Fit MC of 2B2T and his tragedy.

Honestly, when I watched the launch of QSMP I was full on Philza watcher. I never knew Fit before, but I was charmed by his voice, humor and friendship with crow father. And honestly I never even expected any lore from him, so when his first lore stream happened I was pleasantly surprised! So, I really want to express how much I love Fit's lore. It's not in your face and has a lot of subtle hints and build up. Honestly, it's not an essay but rather an expression of true admiration of masterful story telling in form of incoherent ramblings.

(I'll try to compose it, but I can't promise it'll always be coherent)

So let's start with quick review of his lore. FitMC of 2B2T is, evidently from the oldest anachy server. It's described as wasteland, where you can't trust or be trusted. Once he was approached by a person, whom Fit can't remember. It was a contractor who sent our favorite war criminal to the Qsmp with a mission to steal player data. Everything up from there is in vods.

Well, it is a great start, isn't it? At this point we have a very sad start. Practically no trust and emotional connection to anything. The eternal destruction, explosions, deaths and betrayals don't teach you anything different. So once he came to the server, I imagine, Fit didn't care about anything but mission. Player data and that's all, but right from the start this mindset started to change because of the greatest misfortunes of any mercenary or a 2b2t player. Emotional connection.

So now let me break this up into some sections.

Philza: you really thought I won't bring him up? As a greatest (platonic) Fitza/Wallflower duo enjoyer or just a Phil watcher, I couldn't leave him out of this post. I really think that Fit's learning started with crow father. From the start we know that they're at least are acquaintances. But throughout all this months they grew into something more. Philza's trust is hard to get, but if you get it this'll be worth it. Yet Fit got it. Throughout the good old days of Qsmp, when everything was easier, Fitza always were together. No matter was it a life threat or a camping trip with kids, they're with each other. Trusting to each other enough to letting each other in eggs' homes. And after feces hit the fan, it didn't change. A person, who was taught to never trust a soul and to survive no matter what, was standing there, saying "I'm with you, Phil" In the midst of attack. The trust between them is just incomprehensible. A paranoid hardcore survivor and a war criminal, with a lot of secrets and separetion anxiety, became best friends. If anything goes South for Phil, Fit'll be spying, controlling situation. If a wise crow ever starts loosing his sense of reality, this soaked in blood hand will lay on his shoulder, reassuringly. And it isn't one sided. If Fit needs anything Philza instantly passes him it ("You're too good to me"). Phil shares everything he can with Fit and even trusted the Dream to him. And Fit even had a small separation anxiety attack, just cuz Phil was gone for a few seconds. They are so close, Fit even considered letting in Phil on his purpose, Aaaaah... They're gonna be the death of me. Philza learned Fit friendship/ platonic love.

"You [Phil] and I [Fit].... We walk into churches and they burn just by our presence."

Ramon: the baby boy made in heaven by God himself. There's so much to be said here. Once again, coming into the island, Fit never expected to connect with someone, especially to have a son. After having a rocky relationship with Spreen was left one on one with a child. The absurdity of situation is just as laughable, as ironic. A man, who's hobby was killing kids with no back thought, was now stuck with a child, having no idea of how to raise him. And, honestly, he did pretty good! He gave Ramon freedom, but always was here, close enough to help if needed. Of course he wasn't the saint, yet he always tried to be as honest as he could, even letting him on the "Family secret". Ramon loves his dad, and it's obvious by how he helps Fit with his job, building him a communication with his contractor. The little one even taught this cold person to be kinder and more open. They only have each other. And Fit is ready to do anything if it means he'd get to leave with his baby boy by his side. Also I don't wanna hear a scrap about 2b2t historian not caring about his son's disappearance. He does. After behaving and distancing himself from his past antics, he decided to burn the ship, where Ramon lost his first life, just to avenge his baby. He visits his sons house every stream, looking if maybe he came back. If you want any prove of how much they care about each other search Ramon's graduation. They made each other better and their love is just aaahhh. I love them. Ramon taught Fit parental love.

"Baby boy, made in heaven, by God himself.."

PacTW: the last, but not least, Pacman himself. Oooh, love, oooh, lover boy.... Now, I haven't watched a lot of their interactions, but from all I've seen they're suuuuper in love/crush. All those little glances to each other, protection, quality time... Honestly, I think these two videos explain everything. They trust each other and at least have a crush on each other. And once again, there're a lot of small moments that prove this point. Fit having a small panic attack over not seeing pac for a few seconds and even helping to find Walter Bob and Mike. And Pac, no matter how much he loves Mike, didn't drop Fit after the latter was accused of being a traitor. Love is blooming, and even though it's "baby steps" These are still steps. It takes a lot to relearn trust and especially this kind of intimacy, when all you knew before was war, betrayal and lie. And thus Pac taught him love and trust.( I'm not big on shipping but every time hide duo hug my life gets a little better).

"Baby steps, chat. Baby steps. (Puts roses Pac gifted him)"

But, why did I call Fit and his fate tragic, and then just list all the good interactions Qsmp gave him. After all he experienced at 2b2t , this island seems like a heaven. But, Fit was, is, and forever will be stranger at the paradise (this man is way too good at presenting lore. Even music gives us soo much things to think about... I love it.). No matter how much Fit loves people around him and feels this being reciprocated, he'll never have this full closure. He knows and believes that once everyone knew his mission, they'll hate him. Even people I listed before. He'll never be fully honest with anyone (apart from Ramon), and no matter how people love him. Fit truly feels for Baghera, when she told him about her past and her fear of telling it to BBH. It is literally what he struggles with. This dialogue has a lot of good foils and parallels. The fear of their past, full trust/ forced lie, darkness/ light, and eventually positive outlook. Baghera was eventually able to trust Bad with her secret, yet Fit wasn't. But this paradise spoiled this war criminal. It made him more trusting, more social. Fit can't now be alone, cuz he connected with people. This server, though is full of secrets, lies and danger, is still a paradise. A heaven on earth for a lonely man...

So the last part of this long ahh post is about his desire. The one thing that convinced Fit to go to qsmp. Freedom. Which he doesn't have. By making this deal with Contractor he fell into the trap. He must to find this player data, or else he'll return to the world he tried to escape. For forever. With no way out. But once he came to the server, Cucurucho will never let him go. So he's now in double trap. Yet the biggest trap is Ramon. He's prepared to sacrifice everything for his baby boy, and can't leave the island without him. And without Ramon Fit wouldn't be able to contact the contractor. So in creating connections, Fit traps himself further.

I can't really call it a character analysis, but it's all I see in Fit's lore. A very lonely war criminal, that got so tired of distrust and destruction, that he agreed on a spy mission. But once his mission started he learned how to love and care, that he trapped himself further. Love isn't a miracle that saves you, but it's a very useful tool. Once you learn to understand and reciprocate it, life may become better. (Sorry, it's super cheesy, but I think it encompasses Fits character very good) .

Fit is a spy. They're not supposed to have a family and love, because they can't stay for long. And I think at first, Fit saw everything and everyone as just a means to an end. Just the player data. But after all that has passed he can't be the same. He has a son, friends and a possible love interest. Will he be able to still continue his mission? Will he still betray them and they're trust? I don't know.

But I now I love how cc! Fit does his lore. It isn't so in the face and doesn't affects other, yet it is so layered. Everything is so important down to the music choice aaaaagh. I don't even pretend to analyse everything in his lore like contractor, memory loss, head aches and ect.

I just love it. It's marvelous.

Favorite AOS lore tidbit I recently learned... there is a Daemon that is quite literally two people working together, a Daemon Prince (Former Human) and a Herald of Slaanesh with the Herald standing on the Daemon Prince's shoulders because they 'are in a symbiotic relationship'. With the Herald loving the human, and the human loves the Herald.

While the Daemon Prince swings his weapons around the Herald takes advantage of any openings to whip people.

This duo having slaughtered Stormcast Eternals who had been sent after them.

Oh, yeah! Syll'Eske. Honestly one of the most wholesomely twisted things to come out of Warhammer as a whole. I love them.

c!Foolish Head canon:

After c!Eret & c!Foolish fought ( & defeated) DreamXD (based on the newly revealed original DSMP Lore Plans by Eret) c!Foolish used his new God Powers to create a realm to preserve his Builds so they wouldn't be wiped out by c!Tubbo's Nuke.

I like the idea, that c!Foolish has a realm, that he created/ controls (based on ccFoosh's own personal Minecraft Realm), that he uses to preserve his favourite Works. So when he wants to save a build, e.g. from destruction, he takes it & the land surrounding it, and brings/ teleports it to his realm, so its like a collection of floating Islands with all his different Projects on it :D

I do love angst of c!Foolish's builds getting abandoned, but my heart aches at the thought of his builds being destroyed... so maybe thats why he created the realm, because he realized everything he builds either gets destroyed or forgotten, maybe its his way of keeping the good memories alive.

Stargate rewatch: 1x19 There But For The Grace of God

One of my favourite episodes titles of the series, also kicking off what is essentially a four episode arc to end season 1 and kick off season 2. 90’s tv was the eternal battle between episodic and arc-based storytelling, and I actually think the show threaded the needle quite well.

I do love an alternative universe episode, back in the beforetimes when a multiverse served a story purpose and not just a fodder for fanservice of the “your favourite character, and they’ve got a new hat!” variety.

The story credit for this episode is David Kemper, an Executive Producer for Farscape, but this is his only Stargate contribution. Robert C Cooper wrote the teleplay, and the episode was directed by David Warry-Smith, his first of 11 for the show.

Love that they brought back Catherine, Elizabeth Hoffman is great (RIP). Given that Jack is a general in this timeline, perhaps we can assume he kept her on the project as opposed to the main timeline’s General West shutting things down/sidelining her after Abydos?

But Jack still went on the Abydos (suicide) mission so presumably wasn’t a general at that time. I know we have to be la la la don’t think about it with the alternate timelines but I’m so curious how things went down in this universe!

How long did it take them to work out how to use the gate without Daniel’s help? I guess they couldn’t communicate with the Abydonians without Daniel but they still were able to kill Ra - how? If they never went to Chulak what triggered Apophis’s interest in them to mount an attack on Earth? Why is the attack in this universe before the attack in the prime universe when really the events should be delayed in the AU?

This is a decent wig for Sam. Sadly, the only decent wig she’ll get the entire series.

I also wonder what was the difference in this universe so Sam didn’t join the Airforce.

Daniel guilelessly giving the address for Chulak right after taking about Jack intending to blow up Abydos. He’s so used to his Jack whose come so far since then, never even thinking that alt!Jack may not have, and what they might want the coordinates for.

lol, Daniel walks down the stairs, crosses the room, looks at the map, then puts on his glasses.

“Every one of those red dots is a destroyed city.” Apophis a fan of the United Celtic Nations it seems.

Daniel finally twigs that he might be in an alternate reality (with Sam defining it for him), but we can’t be too harsh, he canonically has zero pop culture game and this was the 90’s. Even in todays over-saturation of multiverse content Daniel would probably still have no clue.

They made a decent attempt at Spader!Daniel with this pic!

Daniel and being dead/missing in alternate realities/timelines, name a better duo.

It is interesting that in a lot of the AUs the show explores, Daniel’s lack of involvement in the Stargate program coincides with that universe being doomed.

I forgot that the 38 minute gate window was first established in this episode! That’s a huge piece of lore originating in an alternate universe.

It wouldn’t be an alternate universe without at least one character with silly hair.

Generally I prefer AUs that explore character rather than ones used to advance plot (or are lazy fanservice looking at you mcu), and while the primary purpose of this episode is to give Daniel forewarning of the Goa’uld attack and the gate address to the source, there is some nice stuff here especially around Jack and Teal’c.

Because at their core alt!Jack and alt!Teal’c are still the same - Teal’c still hates the Goa’uld, Jack is still willing to take big risks on his instincts, and there’s a mirror to Children of the Gods where Jack reaches out to Teal’c, but it’s a dark mirror, and it’s the little differences that matter because Jack isn’t the same person as the one in CotG, who went through the Abydos mission with Daniel and came out a better person, instead he’s the one that sent the bomb that killed Teal’c’s family, and it dooms them both.

Opening credits shot!

“I also wish to blow us all to hell.” Alt!Sam is a badass. No difference to prime!Sam there.

There’s also an interesting moment between Teal’c and Daniel in the gateroom - Teal’c doesn’t shoot straight away when he could have, so maybe Jack telling him of the alternate universe where Teal’c was fighting the Goa’uld got through. He still fires as Daniel runs for the gate, but only hits him in the shoulder - at such close range Teal’c could probably have made the kill shot. His hesitation saved Daniel’s life, and ultimately the life of his other self.

Because Daniel’s presence in the other reality changes nothing for it - alt Jack, Sam, Teal’c and Catherine all still die, the Stargate is destroyed and that would have happened anyway (with maybe the exception of Jack being able to stall Teal’c to set the self destruct).

But Daniel’s changed - there but for the grace of god (or fate) go our team.

Lets Talk Purplebloods 1/?

Okay! Hello everyone I wanted to take a minute to talk about my personal lore for Purplebloods! I have crafted a pyramid of their hierarchy and today we will be focused on the top two sections!

CW: Mention of Sex and Drugs!

The Messiahs

There are two deities in the religion most clowns follow. They are referred to mostly as a duo but there are subsections of the religion that worship or put forward more effort into one or the other.

They are represented most prominently by the Comedy and Tragedy masks, these are considered a religious symbol, alongside bicycle horns, bells, the spectrum of blood colors and traditional jester caps. A modernized way of representing the masks among most younger generations is the :o) and :o( emoticons. Colors prominently associated with them are; black, gold, purple, white, and red. Most followers can be found sporting one or more of these colors.

The separate entities are called many things, moreso representing concepts but these are the most common names

Mirth, Comedy, Sock, Hilarity and The One who Grins

Mayhem, Tragedy, Buskin, Fracas, and The One who Brings Blood

The balance between both messiahs is critical to the universe as a whole, a push and pull, yin and yang. The relationship between the entities is unknown and the representation of it has ebbed and flowed with time, where most sects or even individuals have their own views. Commonly they are considered:

Enemies, locked in eternal combat

Lovers, in a constant state of ecstasy

Siblings, shifting between friendly and aggressive

One Being, Split in two and forever just out of reach of the other

The Messiahs are said to reside in a place referred to as The Dark Carnival, where righteous purplebloods who follow them faithfully will be brought when they pass on. In religious texts, it is often described as being brought into true enlightenment, peace and wholeness, set adrift on a carousel into the blackness of eternity, into The Messiahs’ domain of nothing but pure ecstasy and reverence. A nonstop carnival on the dark edges of the Universe.

The Messiahs are also worshiped in many different ways, the consumption of Faygo, snorting of Special Stardust and an indulgence in all things deep fried are common, representing the gifts The Messiahs themselves bestowed to the first purplebloods. Blood sacrifice is also widely practiced by most sects of the religion, in a quest to paint the walls of their holy sites with the entire spectrum of blood. Crumbling ruins on Alternia, destroyed in wars of the past show evidence that quite a few churches back in the day had the whole spectrum on their walls, but now the only remaining church to hold all twelve colors is on Karnival*.

Acts of community are a very normal form of reverence, purplebloods tend to stick together and help each other out in times of need, referencing how The Messiahs need to work in tandem to keep the balance. Purplebloods establish Carnivals, Circuses and Boardwalks all to stay close and live in a state of constant worship, performing for each other as much as for the messiahs, just as their ancestors did.

Sex and physical intimacy is a lesser spoken of but still widely practiced kind of prayer, either through quadrants, friends or congregations, working together to achieve a state of ecstasy exemplifies what The Messiahs want from their worshippers. Orgies and Swinging are typical especially off planet, but it is mostly limited to purples with other purples, or the occasional faithful of a different hue.

The Messiahs are also responsible for the tradition of face paint, used to mimic the patterns the first purples saw on the visages of The Messiahs when they were originally visited. There is an intense and delicate process of designing and applying your face paint, it is done very young, when wrigglers are without outside influence. They are provided with an assortment of 3 objects and depending on which ones they are drawn too three different scenarios occur:

They are given their first palette and instructed to follow their soul when applying, this is when they select the object associated with individuality

They are sat in front of the Harlequin of their church and the Harlequin asks The Messiahs for a pattern, painting what they see on the wriggler, this is when they select the object representing spirituality

They are instructed to paint the pattern of their ancestor on their face, which have all been documented tediously by Ringmasters, this is when they select the object representing tradition

To be seen without your facepaint after your design is chosen is considered taboo and sacrilegious for anyone outside of long standing quadrants, select members of your congregation and is forgiven under situations involving external circumstances. However, only you should apply your paint, it is a prayer in the beginning of the day to paint on your design, and outside of outstanding circumstances, such as injuries or a disability, only you should be doing it. Letting someone, even a quadrant apply it, is considered absolutely abhorrent and an affront to The Messiahs, in some churches this is even a cullable offense.

The Messiahs are also responsible for selecting a Grand Highblood’s potential successor, there are many signs involved that show a troll’s potential to embody their word, and leaders everywhere are always on the lookout for a member showing the signs:

Mirthful disposition as a wriggler, but with an inherent talent for violence with their bare hands

An interest in the ancient texts and words directly from The Messiahs

Visions when consuming Stardust

Their vibes are just good

Selecting the wrong successor can often spell trouble for that era of the church, and set the very universe off kilter. A challenger however, is an element of spontaneity that The Messiahs greatly approve of, no matter the individual.

*Karnival is a colony that is specifically for Purplebloods, this will be elaborated on in a further post

Still with me? Well up next we have the good ol clope (Clown Pope)

The Grand Highblood

The Grand Highblood is the head of the entire religion, the clown pope, if you will. They can be appointed in one of three ways:

Traditional succession, a successor is chosen and trained for the position by the acting Grand Highblood

Traditional challenge, a purple who believes they will be a better Grand Highblood asks for a duel with the acting one, hand to hand, to the death, the winner claims the title. If the acting Grand Highblood refuses the challenge their position is forfeit.

In the rare event a Grand Highblood dies without a successor, or both the challenger and acting Grand Highblood die from injuries related to the duel, the next Grand Highblood is chosen via Nose Goes

Nose Goes is an ancient instinct baked into purplebloods as a whole through their inherent psychic connection via chucklevoodoos, when The Grand Highblood dies, within the next 24 hours if a successor is not appointed, all purplebloods above the age of 9 sweeps receive a psychic ping, notifying them of the start of Nose Goes, the last troll to touch their nose, is then the acting Grand Highblood.

The duties of a Grand Highblood are extensive, tedious and exhausting, leading to many attempting to find a successor quickly to pawn off duties or retire faster. Their duties include but are not limited too:

Presiding over important court cases

Selecting new jesters if one dies without an appointed heir

Serving as a liaison between the monarchy and the church

Representing the values of the church

Preaching the good word during holy days

Being responsible for organization and allocation of funds and festivities

The most comprehensive surviving documentation about Grand Highbloods lists about 10 trolls that have ever properly held the position, they are as follows from oldest to newest:

Spauld Keivie ‘The Foremost’

Avener Poppov ‘The Demoniac’

Grocki Telini ‘The Balanced’

Zennie Farvex ‘The Funereal’

Kurloz Makara ‘The Mirthful’

Grimal Vester ‘The Reticent’

Ivanar Patera ‘The Ruthless’

Brunhi Dotler ‘The Bloodied’

Quinad Disour ‘The Jubilant’

Sigmar Patera ‘The Stalwart’

Each Grand Highblood held the position for an average of 10,000 years, though some lasted longer or were much shorter lived than others.

A Grand Highblood can be removed from the position and replaced with a temporary counsel consisting of the four jesters in the event of an impeachment. An impeachment is required when The Grand Highblood isn’t performing to satisfaction and the four jesters agree to try them for their lack of action/attention/faith. All four jesters need to unanimously agree to the trial for it to proceed, an impeachment has never been considered for any Grand Highblood until Sigmar Patera*.

*This boy has featured and will feature further in @/stellarparallaxcomic check us out!

Well! that was a lot, hopefully you enjoyed reading my ramblings, I'll post the next part when its all finished up! Thanks!
