the dream smp journey: attempting to make the lore of the dream smp more accessible.
so back when i first wanted to get into the dream smp i had absolutely no idea where to start. i asked some people and they told me pretty much “look up dream smp + [insert youtuber name] and start there” and so i did, but i quickly came to realize how much i was missing from the story by not seeing all the different points of view.
so i decided to make my own playlist.
it was just for myself at first, but as i got more obsessed with the story, i also gave the link to some friends of mine so they could have the full experience, and they loved it. so i kept updating it.
my goal was to try and make a capsule of the entirety of the lore on the dream smp across almost every single POV, because while i do appreciate those who make recap videos, they always miss something and it’s usually with peoples’ POV who aren’t considered to be “main characters” which sucks because one of my favorite things about the dream smp was how everyone was their own main character with their own individual storyline you could get invested in.
i’ve seen every single video in the playlist, and did my absolute best to discern what should be included and what didn’t need to be. 
for instance, while i personally enjoyed streams where they’d just goof off, this is a lore-centric playist so i didn’t include all of them unless one of the jokes or such gets mentioned/becomes important later on. or if there is a lore event happening but two people have almost identical streams to one another then i decided between the two of them which one to keep. or if the cc themself made an edited version of their experience, i would decide whether to go with that or keep the original vod
it’s far from perfect. i tried to keep up with it as long as i could I STILL HAVE VIDEOS IN MY WATCH LATER THAT I PLANNED TO ADD but simply put while the dream smp storyline got longer and longer it became harder to keep up with. i watched pretty much all the streams when they happened but failed to update the playlist accordingly so right now it has almost everything up until ”Hitting on 16.”
i always wanted to finish it before i posted it, but i’ve been seeing people talk about how they miss the experience of watching the dream smp and while i obviously can’t provide the full interactive experience that the dream smp offered as it came out, i knew i couldn’t just keep this in my back pocket and thought i could at least offer a good chunk of the experience for you guys to still be able to keep!
here’s the playlist, spanning over 300 videos.
there’s also a semi-canon playlist (not nearly as thorough) for events that get mentioned by the cc’s a lot or are just cool to have and i wanted to include them somewhere so here it is also!!
to go along with it i also made a masterpost (can you tell i love making lists) which is what every single video on the playlist is supposed to be (and was last i checked, but videos get taken down every so often so there might be a couple missing here and there).
i hope to update this one day and have it fully finished, but with my schedule (full-time college student babyyyy) and simply the hundreds of hours of content i’d need to sift through it just seems impossible (and frankly just really intimidating) to challenge alone right now. so i also wanted to give this to the community to maybe be able to do what i couldn’t!
my hope with this is that if someone in a year or two (or whenever really) is interested in the dream smp they won’t have to sit through recap videos and instead can watch the real thing in a single playlist connected to the doc. my dream is for the masterpost and the playlist to go hand-in-hand, being like a guide people can follow that would also link to other moments and lore that is saved but just not avaliable on youtube, so we don’t have all these moments just lost to time.
i want to make this collaborative, i’m hoping this will maybe spark others to share what videos/moments they have saved and stored with each other for the dream smp and maybe together we could complete this thing somehow!! make the playlist and masterpost i dreamed of (the one right now is scuffed, but at least it’s something). the dream smp is one of my absolute favorite pieces of media out there and i want to share this with people but (as you can probably tell) i have no idea what i’m doing!! any step to help make the story more readily accessible is a good one, though!
i know i’ve missed things but i’ve done my best. and while not the perfectly polished thing i hoped it would be when i sent it out to the world maybe it could be a good building block for the community to use. so please share this!! reblog it!! all that jazz!! i want this to be for everyone!!
anyways, this is a long post. but the whole reason i got into the dream smp in the first place was because of the awesome fan content i saw and this crazy and creative community and i want to be able to give back, if i can.

You know what, it’s highly sus that anti-destiels on twitter dot com, instead of shrugging and saying “well I can’t see it but you do you” and then moving on with their lives, still, almost four years after spn ended, continue to fight like it’s a religion to insist that Dean could never!!! And Dean doesn’t love Cas back in that way!!! And even, with a few, Dean doesn’t care about Cas!!!! It can’t be a queer love story, it can’t!!! It can’t!!! The only way they can make it through the night is to gaslight the existence of queer coded storytelling, and shout over and over that it’s all just fanfic and none of us watch the show and analyze it closely.
The unhinged fandom wankbait theater is absolutely glorious, y’all.
The panic! The denialism!! Something has them deeply spooked and worried.
And it says something about them that they aren’t okay with just having their own view of it, they think it’s their mission in life to dictate how everyone else has to see it and to keep on trying to play thought police.
What part of “open to interpretation” makes them think that gives them a license to triple down year after year shrieking that there cannot possibly be mutual romantic feelings. And that nobody is allowed to get fed up with their behavior and disagree with them.
It’s AMAZING. They are terrified of it. I’m sipping from sparkly rainbow goblets full of their Destiel hating tears.

lemm, 4, 13, 45!
4. Favourite line
"Come and visit if you like. If you have relics, I mean. I'm not much for chatter."
said in Fountain Square when you talk to him after he's done chatting about the statue. aka after you came to look for him and found him in a particularly wistful mood and then stood there and listened to him talk.
i like to think of this specific line as a cascade of backpedalling done by somebody who said the wrong thing and gave away too much and instantly tried to throw a curtain over it. here:
come and visit if you like. ... wait no. no i don't say stuff like that. umm listen i didn't mean visit i meant sell me stuff. relics. you know. business. i run a business i was talking about that. um. i don't talk to people actually, you know this!! so never mind!!! FUCK
listen you can either take a line at face value or you can extrapolate a whole personality off it and one is more fun than the other so guess what i did :^)
13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done
i already answered this one kinda so i'll do one specifically from our meta. probably when he accidentally launched a wanderer's journal at the shadelord. not his most elegantly planned moment. the truth is he really did lose his grip on it but also kind of half-reached to grab it and just knocked it harder down at em. hilarious to me personally
"wow that guy is so brave he threw a brick at a god" more like:
Tumblr media
(ghost seems to think this was on purpose and that he threw it. lemm has so far found no reason to go out of his way to correct them.)
45. Their favorite celebrity
The Great Knights!!! holy fuck. no offense to his friend ghost who is a god and also the new king and also a key historical figure in the terrible play that is Hallownest but. listen. the great knights are just. they're just. they're Mysterious and they're historied and they were part of the Pale Court and there's all this -- listen it's DIFFERENT.
(he may not handle meeting Ogrim very well, or with much decorum. may or may not fanboy a bit. A Bit!!!)
bonus points to the Hollow Knight themselves, also, for much the same reasons but even more intense because he has been looking down at that statue for so long. he would like to... make a good impression? he doesn't know what he'd like. he'd like their first meeting not to have been so weird. he is also finding they're not at all what he expected them to be, and... well! they have issues. ones very much beyond his reach, if you ask him.
basically: never meet your heroes, they won't be what you thought and you will embarrass yourself. (he'll get over it)

a They Deserve Each Other shipping scale where on one end of the axis you have the “no one else is good enough for them” ships, and on the other end you have the ships that need to be together monogamously forever as a quarantine measure. whatever the fuck is wrong with both of them must be contained for the greater good.

Woo congrats everyone! I now have enough of a queue to last almost all of June now! I no longer have to worry about this blog dying whilst I'm away /hj
I'll be very much an absent admin for the next few weeks so uh I'm praying the next life series doesn't get announced or anything (I'm watching you Apollo) while I'm gone but in the meantime enjoy some of my new favorite asks in the coming days and I'll see y'all soon! <3
