Man, Karmaland was such a wild thing to experience live, but nothing will be funnier than me opening Vegetta's POV for the first time still under the impression he was a family-friendly streamer for some reason (spoiler alert: he's not) and being greeted with him and Rubius banging in a hot tub.

#i talk #karmaland talk #that was WILD #I remember watching like ''? what's going o- OH OK THAT'S WHATS GOING ON''#Karmaland was something else #it was so cool seeing so much queer rep especially as a Mexican girl who's seen a lot of the machismo bs #...and after all the bs I endured from D.S.M.P too ofc #that was really cool #I was like ''!!!! oh they're GAY gay''#and then finding out so many of them were bi IRL I was like *tears streaming down my face* OH THEY'RE ACTUALLY GAY #furiously shaking Rubius' hand. Bi solidarity

Okay on the reset, there's multiple things going on here.

I think it's fair for the heavily active CC to be frustrated their personal stuff was sidelined and interrupted with the reset, I get it. All that progress stopped. I also have full faith in all of the active CC to be able to bounce back and be capable of return in their own way. I trust this of BadBoyHalo and Tubbo. Pierre might have different concerns, but he's been doing content for a decade, I think he'll be fine.

On the other hand, I think this server reset was kinda necessary. Especially from the perspective of more new players being added soon. Like, even Tubbo when added was struggling to find things to do at first because he'd suggest something, and then people would point out someone else already did that like two months prior. To quote a friend, if Tubbo was struggling to find things to do, what's left for players like Lenay?

Keep in mind, the last time the admins tried something to level the playing field between active players and inactive players was Lucky Ducks. Which killed a lot of motivation for members who did like grinding hard to obtain materials. Lucky Ducks was just giving them that stuff without any work. This reset is the last resort in my opinion.

The other thing that interests me is that Etoiles mentioned that he knew about this reset coming (or something similar) for at least three months now. This is odd with the perspective of Pierre and BBH both reacting so badly, like they didn't know this would be happening. Because of both of these scenarios, I think there are two things that could have happened: 1. Etoiles vouching for a reset meant he talked to the admins more one-on-one over this. 2. The admins mentioned a server reset, and never detailed what that would revolve around. I personally think the second is more likely, as QStudios are somewhat... notorious? For being a little nebulous and not the best at communication for all streamers at once.

Ultimately I do think the server reset was a good decision, it encourages playing for people who were never able to get their foot in the door, and hopefully will make the server more active in the future. I also think the incentivizing for players to be farther apart ala Karmaland while create is off for the first few days is a good idea too, we don't need another Roier chunk that lags the hell out of the server being so close to spawn.

I think there's other parts that are less than desirable because they work poorly in practice (disabling all backpacks above iron unless purchased via... the new money system. The new money system in general. Punishing players for doing a bunch of backpacks as a storage system as if that isn't a fair playstyle because it's literally just a bunch of blocks on hand, it makes things more convenient I truly do not get the weird punishing behavior about backpacks. Not telling the players the list of nerfs/changes beforehand. Come on, I would love a Tubbo changelog reading stream. He'd have so much fun doing that.), however overall I am willing to wait another week or two to see how the admin team responds and fixes changes as they see them be interacted with. It's been three days, and there were a hell of a lot of changes.

Some notes:

No new tags this month! So, y'know, we'll have to be content with our 43 mcyt tags. Just that.

Fics are still primarily in english, but we have three exceptions with significant spanish fics. Karmaland (711 of 797, from 691 spanish fics last month), Tortillaland (111 of 116, from 108 spanish fics last month), and QSMP (527 of 4,689, from 466 spanish fics last month). QSMP also shows 244 fics in brazilian portugese, from 175 last month, and 26 in french, from 19 last month.

In the small and micro fandoms, the standout was definiately Pirates SMP, which since being canonized last month has increased by 45 fics. Just by sheer volume of growth versus fandom, mention must be made of idots, which went up by 10 fics from a baseline of 16 last month. Given that the most recent post in the tag was in july, that had to have meant something got wrangled into the tag, or else someone was backdating like CRAZY.

In the midsize fandoms, the standout is, as ever, Fable SMP, with an increase of 95 fics. I think we're starting to get into the whumptober type numbers now, because they were the midsize standout last month with an increase of 33 fics, so that's an increase of almost 200%. Evolution SMP also went up by 49 fics, in contrast to last month's 24.

For the larger fandoms, there were spikes in every fandom, but the big spike I was expecting for whumptober did not really materialize in each fandom. Empires saw an increase of 240 in contrast to 154, but that didn't beat the previous month's 244. However, 3rd Life went up by 463, beating the past three months of numbers as the highest month in that stretch was 395 in August, and last month was only 340. Hermitcraft also beat the last three months, as it went up by 714, and the previous months were 453, 569, and 501, respectively. QSMP went up by 861, beating last month's 725, but, interestingly, exactly matching August's 861. DSMP continues to be the fandom no one can beat for pure volume, as it went up by 1,445, which did beat September's 1,171, but did not exceed August's 1,459. Last year the DSMP jump between October and November was over 7k fics, which at the time I attributed to whumptober, but now is looking more like something getting wrangled into the tag. Not everybody is whumping their guys, I guess.

Detailed breakdown of increases under the cut.

There's something so interesting to me about the different ways in which Luzu and Rubius take care of Quackity.

In this cap, we saw Quackity with Luzu again, and just like last time Luzu was taking a lot of care of him, explaining to him how certain mobs work, and protecting him from them. He gave Quackity what the mobs dropped immediately, just to show him.

He also went out of his way to search for Quackity, he whole time they were on the mines, even when he got lost very far away from him.

He also was very adamant about ensuring Quackity keeps the backpack, he gave him closed, and he showed him that the rest could totally rob him at any time, wondering if he's never been robbed before. But afterwards, he made sure to give him everything back.

Luzu's priority whenever he was around Quackity, was making sure Quackity was alright.

On the other hand, we saw how Rubius behaved with Quackity.

Quackity already knew Rubius was a dangerous person, and he was seeking him out exactly for it.

And, at the end, predictably, Rubius totally killed him again, but more than that, he also was trying to teach him how to take care of himself around others.

But, what I find most interesting is what happened after Rubius killed him again, when Quackity who still upholds that good faith to the world around him, asks him why he keeps betraying him, even as Quackity keeps trusting him with his life.

Rubius says this: You are small. I'm taking care of you.

It was to introduce you to the rest.

I'm betraying you first so the rest can't betray you later.

I am trying to protect you, Quackity. I am trying to protect you.

(These dialogues are out of order for convinience sake.)

Rubius makes sure to tell him that he's young, that he's small, that he's the youngest person here, and that he needs to be taken care of.

And obviously, this isn't something Quackity can so easily understand. He only screams back, that he doesn't understand Rubius, and his way of protecting him, and his way of caring for him, that he's giving him too many mixed signals at once.

But, Rubius doesn't understand what Quackity can't see, because Rubius knows himself, knows the things he has done, knows that him more than anybody else plays against the rules, and he gets away with it, but that it isn't just him that the rest do too.

Rubius: What mixed signals?

Rubius and Luzu are both very aware of how harsh Karmaland can be. But Luzu is aware on the side of the one who gets betrayed, and Rubius is aware in the side of the one who betrays.

Rubius is aware that the world around him will pray for a moment of his weakness, and take advantage of it immediately, and he's showing that to Quackity.

He's grabbing Quackity's hand, and putting it against the hot iron, so Quackity doesn't forget that it burns, and this approach works, because the rest of the stream, Quackity keeps searching for any opportunity at all, to kill Rubius back.

And at the end, he succeds at it.

And oddly enough, Rubius's reason for dying is believing that Quackity wouldn't try to kill him, because he does very much suspect everything Quackity is doing, and he tells him as much, but he still stepped right on the mine. Because Quackity is still the youngest of them all.

He's almost impressed with Quackity as well, talking about the way he killed him very nonchalanty, and offering advice about how he could have done it better.

Rubius: If you had done it now, if you had placed it there, I totally could have fallen for it.

And through all of this, Quackity still doesn't understand why Rubius does what he does, he himself says he was being too obvious, that Rubius was already suspecting him, that it makes no sense, but he's still so proud of himself.

He even thanks Rubius himself, for giving him this victory, for allowing him to make justice, and get even, for being his first mine kill on the Server.

Quackity: Rubius taught me a lot. I owe this to him too.

And, I think this is Quackity seeing on his own way, what Rubius was trying to do, even if not seeing it directly, he was teaching him how to defend himself.

Quackity made him a tombstone, a crux to signify, a little funeral, to remember his big moment forever, to thank Rubius for it.

That's something only Quackity would do. Something only he would respect and care about. I'm sure Rubius himself would just find it amusing, tbh.

And, that really shows the way Rubius has taught him to think about the Server, as a place you have to fight to earn respect in, to earn victory throughout, and that's what I find so interesting, in the ways Luzu's character, and Rubius's character, introduce the world of Karmaland to their youngest, newest member, Quackity.

The one who they are always calling child, and young, and small. The one they are taking care of.

The key difference is: Luzu who says he will take care of Quackity, because he is his elder. And Rubius who tells Quackity, you better learn to take of yourself here, because you are the youngest.

Defensive vs Offensive

I will take care of you vs You better take care of yourself

Basically, too long didn't read, Luzu's way of protecting Quackity, and teaching Quackity how to protect himself, is showing him trustworthy people, keeping him close, and teaching him to defend himself, and defend him himself.

While Rubius way, is to show him the hurt first hand, is to make sure Quackity totally knows, that Karmaland isn't trustworthy, and something will always go wrong. Rubius, way is to teach Quackity that the best defense is a good offense. That it's better he got betrayed now than later on.

That before he can be hurt by anybody else, Rubius will hurt him first, and that Quackity before being hurt by somebody else, should hurt them first.

And he succeded on it, because Quackity killed him too, at the end.

Something i really like about how beanieduo are handling the memory loss plotline is how they reflect what their characters would actually be like if they didn't meet the other.

Luzu is still himself, not much overthinking, just the luzu we knew on early season that just liked to joke around and spread kindness on karmaland (aka: if he didn't meet quackity and didn't feel the need to protect him, if he didn't feel the need to save him from the corrupt world, if he was just himself without having to distrust and try to play hero)

Then there's Quackity, who shows a much more drastic change, he is skeptical, scared, paranoid because luzu wasnt there to tell him who to trust, he doesn't remember when luzu extended his hand towards him when noone else did, all he remembers is being greeted with mines and bombs, with trolls and humilliation just for being the new guy, so now he lives paranoid, he doesnt even trust sapopeta (whom he must remember as a Ray of sunshine since he cant remember sapo peta erasing his memories on the first place)

I just really like this subtle details that show just how much theyve always needed each other even from day 1

Saw someone talk about the politics on qsmp saying it shouldn’t have been made a thing…

But it was made to build plot and question relationships dynamics? Qsmp showed that it involves heavy lore and that lore isn’t gonna always be sunshine and rainbows.

Some were also comparing it to dsmp and that it’s been really negative plot overall. The only reason the dsmp politics were ruined was because twt people took it too seriously which ruined it. Dsmp is just one bad example of many smps. So if the lore is being ruined it’s cause it’s being took too seriously.

Keep in mind there has been several smps where a government or politics are involved and they still worked out fine. Like have they watched Karmaland or Hermitcraft or even smpEarth.

The short end is that if you can’t handle any of the lore and/or the exploration of relationship dynamics, then it’s time to log off and search for something else to be interested in because it’s just roleplay content at the end of the day.

#also this isn’t too say that the qsmp politics cant be taken seriously just that they need to be taken with a grain of salt #also i understand hyperfixations but if the hyperfixation negatively affects your wellbeing then its time to let go #fandom negativity #discourse #qsmp #??? idk what to actually tag bc its kinda complicated #fandom neg

You know, I kept thinking about the conversation that BBH, Maximus and Foolish had last night, and there's something that really caught my attention.

BadBoyHalo said to Foolish when he was explaining his theories, "Why they're giving us smart eggs to take care off? And why are the missions getting more and more difficult every day that pass?" Well, if you think about it, apart for the players, there's no other intelligent living creatures on that island. Sure, there's mobs, and whatever-the-duck-and-Cucurucho-are, but apart of that there wasn't anything else as smart as the players.

But then the eggs arrive.

The eggs are conscious.

They're living. Creatures. Controlled by a real person.

So, Why are the eggs real people, when they perfectly could be just mobs in the form of eggs? Why the "00101010" thing is trying to kill them so badly? We already know that the island is some kind of experiment, that is using the players as lab rats for who knows what purpose, but, isn't it weird that the ones that assigned the eggs to the players are trying to them to get killed in their care? The only other intelligent creatures in the entire island? And where the eggs came from? Are they really dragon eggs? Or they were another thing before?

What if the eggs are just some of the "labs rats" that were mentioned in the documents posted by the Quackity accounts before the server was officially announced? What if they were originally real people, turned into eggs, with their memories erased and introduced to the players as the form of "kids" that need to relearn everything form scratch? What if after the egg arc ends other intelligent creatures appear on the island, whether be animals, objects or human-like things, that the players are forced to take care or erase because are introduced as "a danger for their lives"?

What if they're making the players kill real players without they knowing they're doing it? As sort of a twisted natural selection or some kind of entertainment like the squid games?

And apart of the egg dilemma, What was that thing that Quackity saw on his dream? That black thing with huge teeth and red eyes? I thing I have an idea of what exactly is that thing, and if you watched Karmaland V when it was on air then you will recognize the picture above:

And this is what Quackity saw on his dream:

Sounds familiar?

#qsmp #qsmp theory #I literally stayed awake after BBH stream thinking about this #What the fuck is going on in that island #Also sorry if you find any grammar mistakes English is my second language and I tried not to use the translator for once #also I tried to explain as much as I can my ADHD makes me forget things very easily

Who is Rubius?

Although Rubius' role will be different than regular participants, it seems like he'll be a big part of QSMP in his own way, so here's a rundown of who he is and his lore for people who aren't familiar with him!

Rubius is one of the biggest Spanish streamers. Like Vegetta, he's considered a major pillar of the Spanish community. Beyond video game streaming, he's done a lot of other content including comic books, anime, and various other projects with famous celebrities.

Time Magazine named Rubius "The leader of his generation"

Quackity was a huge Rubius fan growing up, and now they're very good friends!

Rubius is the reason Quackity was in Karmaland. He vouched hard for him and he was the one who convinced Vegetta to add him.

He's part Norwegian, and his community (lovingly) calls him "the Norwegian rat"

Rubius is bi! In real life, but also in the Karmaland series. :')

It appears that Rubius' role in QSMP will be similar to Sapo Peta's role in Karmaland. He won't be a "player", but a supporting character (whether a god, administrator, or something else, we don't know yet).

In terms of personality, both Rubius and his character tend to be agents of chaos. One time, he set the entire Karmaland server on fire. (In his defense, there was a backup, and more importantly: it was funny)

In Karmaland, Rubius is a man who's always chasing after power. He can be very manipulative and he often plays mind games. Even with the people he likes / considers a friend, he's still a bit of a bastard (/pos).

In Karmaland, Rubius and Luzu have a longstanding rivalry. In Karmaland 5, this rivalry was exacerbated by the fact that they were both interested in Quackity (albeit, in different ways).

An example of one exchange between Luzu and Rubius: Rubius: Technical question, what is the difference between a seal and a walrus? Luzu: The size, like the difference between your brain and mine, blondie.

Although his skin usually makes him look like a bear in a white hoodie, Rubius regularly changes his outfits in Karmaland. He's worn maid outfits, dresses, and various other clothing. He's very comfortable wearing whatever, but he does tend to pick very "feminine" clothing. A very popular headcanon is that (character) Rubius is genderqueer.

In Karmaland, Rubius' relationship to Quackity changed significantly over time. Although he originally played pranks on Quackity and blew him up with a mine, Quackity still had a soft spot for him, and they've had a "friends with benefits" relationship.

This post compares Rubius & Quackity's vs. Luzu & Quackity's relationship pretty well.

However, when Quackity's relationship with Luzu became strained after the elections, then turned into a full-blown war, Rubius supported him and stayed by his side, even giving Quackity an item that could call him for help whenever he was in danger.

Rubius and Quackity, despite their clashes, wound up becoming two people who can depend on each other.

During the peak of the revolution, Rubius offered to kill Luzu for Quackity, but Quackity turned him down.

Quackity clearly had feelings for Rubius (what kind of emotions? that's up to you) but Rubius didn't feel the same.

Although Rubius is a self-described slut on Karmaland, the person he loves most has always been Vegetta.

They have a... unique relationship. To TLDR it, they are the definition of a telenovela romance.

Rubius (lovingly) pokes fun at the community for the Rubegetta (Rubius x Vegetta) ship, but he's also a pretty big supporter of the ship himself.

I've discussed the Rubegetta ship a bit in Vegetta's post, but I'll expand on it here as well since it's very relevant to Rubius and his lore.

In terms of lore, Rubius and Vegetta love each other. It's canon. The problem is that neither Rubius nor Vegetta know what a healthy relationship looks like. The other problem is that Vegetta is (more or less) monogamous while Rubius is Decidedly Not.

Rubius and Vegetta have canonically gotten married. Rubius then immediately divorced him and revealed it was all a con to get Vegetta's diamonds. (It's worth noting that Rubius wanted a small wedding, and Vegetta sprung a giant event-worthy celebration on him without consulting him first. We don't know whether this influenced his actions at the wedding or not).

He also dressed up for the wedding

You can watch a translated animation of the entire wedding here.

I do want to emphasize that even though Rubius and Vegetta sometimes have relationship issues / communication issues, it doesn’t diminish their friendship in the slightest. Even after both wedding disasters, they were back to speaking to each other the next week, being flirty and laughing together. Yes, they have issues, but their love for each other remains – despite everything.

(I should also note here that, even while engaged to someone else, Vegetta was still flirty with Rubius).

Rubius has a hard time expressing his true feelings, and has a difficult time letting people get close to him. When a character he considered a son died in Karmaland 5, he had a complete psychological breakdown and tried coping with the loss in very unhealthy ways. One of these ways included engaging in a sexual / romantic relationship with Sapo Peta, despite later confessing to Luzu in therapy that it made him uncomfortable (and no, he never discussed this with Sapo Peta directly because he cannot communicate his real thoughts or feelings to save his life).

Rubius is afraid of commitment. During one of the few times he's ever honestly expressed his emotions to Vegetta, he said: Rubius: I don't want to get hurt. I don't want to get my hopes up, and then get hurt. It's happened to me many times before. Especially here in Karmaland. Vegetta: Have you had lovesickness? Rubius: Yes. In Karmaland, everywhere, in real life... I'm already used to getting beaten. Vegetta: That's a pity... Rubius: I just want someone to take care of me, and that's it. I don't ask for much. Vegetta: I'm very protective... [ Full conversation with subtitles here ]

A few years ago, people stumbled upon a gif of two men making out that look EXACTLY like him and Vegetta. (It's such a striking resemblance that the community and even Rubius HIMSELF thought it was real).

Rubius immediately added this gif to his emotes and named it "Rubegetta"

He's also projected the gif onto his wall and bowed in front of it. Draw your own conclusions from that I guess.

Also: in Karmaland 4, Rubius and Vegetta had a kid together. His name was Brayan Dobluque! (A mix of both their names)

There's more to say about Rubius, but I'll have to add that later since I keep getting distracted / interrupted while writing this. :') If there's anything else people would like me to expand on / something you don't understand, please let me know!

Who is Sapo Peta?| Who is Luzu?| Who is Spreen? | Who is Vegetta?

🖋 *slam dunks this in here*

HOOTS AND HOLLERS!!!! Two points!!!

🖋 a list of plots or ideas // plot meme

Where to begin with you... hmm. I suppose I shall split these up based on the fandom aye? You have a ton of muses I'd love to plot around, so bare with me as I hit you with yet another long list 😭

DSMP

Eternalduo you saw this coming... Sorry, not sorry, I will write these lovely immortals with you any day. You have so many dynamics I could go into with these two, but I'm more than happy to try to restrain myself to only a few, lest I steal you away from everyone else...

Now hear me out on this one, Sam and Technoblade. They're a pairing I find hard to get content on where the two of them are the main focal point. Usually it's with Dream in the center of them or with them on entirely opposing sides of conflicts, but I do feel they have potential. An anarchist meets the government. Hot take: I do think these two could have been friends under the right circumstances. Yadda yadda something about opposites attracting *shrugs*

The Gods, ie. PandasPVP and DreamXD. I've got some vicious headcanons about PandasPVP and how he rebelled against DreamXD and thus ended up in a conflict that had him sealed away - crazy stuff. But I do think there is some fun god au material here we could work with!!

Punz and Purpled, ignore unfounded and give me these two (/j but seriously these two could be adorable). Just, yeah.

Obligatory DreamTeam mention here while I twirl around my puppy of a man Sapnap!!! Dream and Sapnap hold a very near and dear place in my heart so I will always offer them up. From unrequited love to best friends for life to tragic enemies, to corruption arcs. I will always kick my feet cutely at a Sapnap corruption arc where he loses what little resolve he has left and Dream swoops in to secure another ally.

Karlnap could also be an option, I've just had a difficult time with a lot of Karl writers. It's been mostly misses over hits in my experiences with them, but I'm sure you write a delicious Karl!! I wish I could add more here, but I don't have much experience writing them.

Awesamponk, need I say more? (yes I do, to clarify we don't have to do anything romantic, it can also be platonic!!!)

QSMP

Luzuriaga and Wilbur. I'll warn you right now, I tend to go off of Karmaland for my Luzu as that's where I know him from best and I came to cling to very deeply. I'm still catching up with QSMP Luzu but I do very much love these two brunettes and the chaos they could cause. Fighting for fatherhood and then becoming buddies, its a cute thought in my head.

Foolish and Leo are also mandatory!!!(/nf) Leo could ask for anything and Foolish would give it to them. Spoiled utterly ROTTEN

Honestly, just hit me with any plot ideas you can think of. These are just a few because I can't ever make up my mind with such a massive list of goodies to pick from <3<3

Quackity's Radio

Living in Karmaland is a nice experience, yes, the people here can be really annoying (cofcof Rubius cofcof), but the man was able to live comfortable. Even without a house, life was kind most of the time.

In the city he got used to live with Rubius some weeks, then go to stay with Luzu and building his house (again). Some days he just helped other citizens with chores to earn some money, but he whined to his friends about it at the end of the day.

One day after helping Merlon, the old man sent him on a mission a few times away, nothing too dangerous 'cause the man had a hard time when it came to fights, Merlon invited him to drink a cup of tea

"I'm sorry, young hero, some pillagers stole my diamonds and emeralds, father Alexby is taking care of them" the man carefully put a cup of tea in front of the young man who was cursing him

'Pinche viejo, me hace viajar un día completo y ni paga me da, que sea mexicano no significa que sea esclavo, cabrón' [Translation: fucking old man, he makes me travel a whole day and he can't even pay! I'm mexicam but that doesn't mean that you can take advantage of me, asshole]

"But I can re pay you with some artifacts I gathered" the man stood up from the chair, he barely sat for two seconds and was already moving to another room "Come with me, boy"

"Fuckin' nasty old man, Ay Dios! Hope he doesn't kill me" the man grumbled through his teeth, following the man, not before sending a text to Rubius saying 'I think Merlon will kill me or fuck me...' and the half bear man just responded with a 'xd. enjoy'

"They're a little old but I clean them at least once a month, I'll let you be, I need to finish my tea" The man left Quackity by himself not knowing what to do, he shyly got close to the artifacts playing with all of them, breaking some in the process and hiding them in the furthest part of a box.

"Gosh, this is getting tedious. I need music for times like this" Quackity grumbled and sat on the floor, peaking the boxes and getting pissy beacuse he should be at home or stealing Rubius food or cuddling with Luzu but no, he needed to choose an artifact as a payment "Wait! I can choose one without looking and just leave" the idea cheered up the man, even if part of him wanted something useful, he wanted to do something else.

So he just took the first thing that he touched, and when he saw what he took he was fascinated. A small radio was the mysterious object, so he inspected it, to see if at least it worked and thanks to the Gods it did.

The radio played just old songs, romantic mexican ballads that reminded him if home, of abuela Coco and his cousins. He remembered the morning drinking chocolate next to Beni and Cochi, enjoying being kids.

"Hey, grampa" Quackity shout to Merlon, while playing with some funny buttons "I'm taking this little radio" when he let the button go he heard his voice repeting what he just said

"Oh, the old radio" the man fixed his glasses "It's an amazing artifact, take care of it"

Quackity left Merlon's house, the little radio playing Chente as loud as it could. The boy couldn't leave for an adventure without that little radio, sometimes he used it to make fun of his friends or just to de-stress. Merlon payed him a few days later the money he couldn't pay him for the mission and a little bit more for the inconvenience, but Quackity wasn't really interest in the money that much, well, he was interested because he was poor at the momento, but he was really thankfull of the radio who became his companion.

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

a/n: Sorry, didn't proof read it, but this is a headcanon that I love and never wrote about it. In this house we love Karmaland Quackity and his love for old mexican music

I forgot to send this in earlier, AD may I have a k!Luckity Drabble pls 🥺. Something fluffy but also maybe a bit bittersweet, go wild 🤍

A reward for my buddy!

-

Luzu is a bit taller than Rubius. That makes him a lot taller than Quackity, and Quackity doesn’t like to think about that. He has to get on his toes to look at him eye-to-eye. He doesn’t wanna break out his heels, either, so he suffers.

Luzu had invited himself in upon Quackity’s command, and now he’s sitting at Quackity’s ramshackle dining table across from him absently playing with a fork instead of eating dinner. His long fingers twirl it like a baton. They’re scarred, and Quackity doesn’t like to think about that, either.

“I was thinking,” Luzu says.

“What? No.” Quackity shakes his head. He’s smiling even as Luzu rolls his eyes and chucks his fork at Quackity’s head. “No way, I didn’t know you could do that.”

“Fuck off, that joke’s almost as old as I am,” Luzu huffs. He blows the hair out of his face like a moody teenager and looks out the window, eyes following a bird as it makes its way across the cloudless sky outside. “Anyway, I was thinking, now that we’re back on Karmaland Four, I was thinking I could show you around a little. You’re new.” And is that a blush? “…Yeah.”

Quackity briefly looks down at the steak on his plate and wonders, for some reason, what kind of animal Luzu killed to make it. A cow, right? What else would it be?

“Yeah, sure,” Quackity replies, voice easy even as his mind races. “Be sure to hold my hand, though.”

He looks up at Luzu through his eyelashes.

“I wouldn’t want to get lost.”

Atleast it's not as bad as dsmp ending, atleast quackity suspects something is off, hopefully they will get back to normal after a while because I trust rubius

Yeah okay, you got a good point there, the DSMP finale SUCKED for so many reasons and some of them revolved around the amnesia bit; Karmaland isn't over, so it should bring us hope.

I just really pray for things to be fixed in a good way, not just "haha, forget this happened and be friends or else ^^" because that's just not the way, they might make the same mistakes that led them towards that hatred in the first place, and given that things are happening exactly as they did when they met? It's very likely history will repeat itself.

...

Actually, you know what, maybe I don't hate that idea so much 🤔🤔 maybe that's even a good way to work with the plot, with history repeating itself and triggering the memories they forgot? Sapo Peta would have to understand then that what he did was not going to fix things permanently and pulling that card again would only make this a vicious cycle.

Could also be a good lesson, fixing things by forgetting isn't a solution, but acknowledging the wrongs and letting things run their course is.

Karmaland!Quackity is C!Quackity theory.

The theory is that k!quackity is c!quackity because everyone is from a different universe and died in their og timeline but were pulled out, and such their memories removed, everyone is from k4 except quackity who is said to be from a different universe... Which must mean k!quackity is actually c!quackity

I have no problems with that logic, what annoys me IS THE EXECUTION OF THIS THEORY IS BORING AND SUCKS ASS AND FANON HAS MADE ME HATE IT!

People then use this theory not to like make theories of k!quackity's backstory or the speculation of what c!quackity's life could've gone had he not met the people did or what killed c!q or maybe any searching for k!quackity's past and wondering if his past then affects him now and his views on that c!q and speculating on that past him and if it resemblance to any current rela-

NOPE IT'S A SPLIT PERSONALITY THING! the reason he does the bad things or not morally good thing is because c!q is posessing k!q like a demonic guardian and he passes out until waking up he's killed a bunch of people but he doesn't notice because appearantly nobody tells him either

It's fucking stupid because this characterizes him as "Naive idiot who can't do malicious or evil things without somebody else manipulating him to do it" aka what luzu thought of quackity and such the reason he stole the elections, THE ARC SPELLS OUT AND THEN K!QUACKITY HIMSELF CRITICIZES BY SAYING "What? he thinks i'm a baby or something!?" AND IT STILL FLEW OVER YOUR HEADS

making his actions be because of a personality split is the most fucking boring way to deal with that because that removes k!q's agency and instead goes to "oh a ghost made me do it" instead of inspecting the reasoning and any impulses for him to do the things he does,

the usual trope of D.I.D people by implying that a second secret personality possesses them and makes them cause atrocities because they're inherently dangerous how many times does this trope have to happen until people get sick and bored of the plot twist and fuck off to some other new shiny thing that's fucked with people's ability to consume stories

tldr: if i gotta see this theory being made into c!q is k!quackity's split personality i'm going to

#negativity #not sure to tag this cause i don't want it to leak into the fandom and make the fandom toxic af but i hate it soooo much #please stop #and it's impossible to filter out cause there's no tag for me to hide this fucking theory away
