a ramble bc flame needs to chat for a min

i don't get it

i really don't

i already hate dream, but the fact that he had all these insanely fucking talented people on his smp (mind you, this shit doesn't happen often) and has a lightning-in-a-bottle story that spawned over the course of a pandemic and gained so much massive internet fame to a point where it leaked into the real world (remember Trump replying to Quackity? Lil Nas X going on the dsmp?)

and he just. blew it.

like it boggles my mind.

this is the same guy who swore up and down this year that things would be better, that communication would improve, that vol 2 would be a new era for the smp and we'd get constant lore.

vol 2 was meant to begin back in September. no wonder c!wilbur's finale was so rushed.

with all this shit coming out about the finale, it's becoming more and more clear that basically none of the cc's were really consulted about this finale and it appears to have just come up randomly and wasn't planned in advance.

even ignoring the Allegations, this is still such a shit thing to do to your fellow ccs. you would think given how popular the dsmp is and how much it supposedly matters to dream himself, he'd be busting his ass to make sure that every cc is heard, and that if he needed help he'd have a few co-managers to keep track of lore and everything.

BUT NOPE.

instead we got a rushed c!wilbur finale (that is pointless now bc vol 2 is still not out), a damage control, impulse-made c!tommy finale (that shitted on everything c!tommy's story meant) and a syndicate finale that was good, but it could've been Great if the amnesia plot wasn't chucked in.

part of me genuinely believes dsmp doesn't matter to dream outside of money anymore, bc that man hasn't interacted w the lore in good faith in well over a year by now. every time this year he logged on, it was to either do damage control lore, or to help snf piss off fans.

most of the issues trace back to him, bc it just seems Oh So Funny that his character was the central conflict to s4 (or rather, was supposed to be) and yet he fucked off for almost a year. not even c!tommy's plot with c!phil and c!sapnap happened bc they needed dream and woopdy-doo it didn't fucking happen.

and if even tommy couldn't reach dream, why the fuck would anyone else be able to?

what a fucking waste.

My main takeaway from people watching the dream video and still hating on him is the 'guilty until proven innocent' mentality.

Was this all concrete evidence? No.

Was it more concrete then the accusations against him? Yeah.

Of course it's not waterproof, he says so at the beginning that it's Damm hard to proof something *didn't* happen.

Stop this 'guilty until proven innocent' it gets us nowhere.

i don’t post on tumblr at all anymore but dream should genuinely just leave twitter instead of just putting his account on subscribers only bcuz 😭 he says it’s because of the “drama” but dude you are the one making it a big deal by responding to a bunch of random people that you don’t know on twitter insulting you. you are the one making yourself miserable by actively choosing to engage in “hate”, rather than just ignoring it. he should’ve deleted his twitter AAGESSS ago if he can’t go without throwing a tantrum on it ffs this man annoys me to hell and back 😭 😭

Dream should just not be able to participate in the next 2 or 3 MCCs.

This isn't even about him being a top player this is about him, time and time being an immature person.

Yes you are allowed to feel certain ways. No, it was the right decision. No, you can't even begin to some how try to make a metaphor comparing it to Covid.

This man is an adult that constantly has to complain about anything that could go wrong which in itself is fine even if annoying .

It's the fact that he has such a big platform with such a well, immature/naive/young audience who follows him like lap dogs and barks at everyone that comes into their way. I know that's it not a big part of the fandom but it's still bad enough that so many just blindly follow what he says.

Another player should not expect hate when he does better.

The people who are responsible for organizing the whole thing should not be getting death threats over a silly little video game competition.

And most importantly Scott should not have to expect slurs when he makes any decision regarding games when there is trouble.

You know how fucked up this is?

And Dream knows it. I am tired of pretending like Dream isn't aware of the huge big part of his audience that always seems to resurface in these moments. He's aware of what they do.

So no, there's no excuses. He knowingly said all those things aware of what his fans will do.

I am tired of pretending like he doesn't know or isn't responsible. Every time he chooses to rant on stream for a long amount of period than he chooses to accept any consequences with it.

I have watched many people have bad MCCs before (which this clearly wasn't as he still won) even with some decision they thought unfair yet there has never been any backlash expected the way it is when it's Dream.

He's an adult. He is aware of his words to choose from. He knows the behaviour that his fans often times show. He fully understands the consequences that his action can and will have.

And yet he has shown no signs of improvement, learning or even understanding what's wrong with his behaviour.

So benching him or rather deliberately excluding him from MCC is a completely acceptable option.

NEW LOOK FOR NEGATIVE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

Also i made some silly sketches with them!^^

Sincerely, STFU

I KNOW IT'S TOXIC.BUT, MY LOVE, THE TOXICITY I FUCKING ENDURED SHOULD HAVE MADE ME A RADIOACTIVE BIOMEDICAL HAZARD, BY NOW. SO IT'S MY CHOICE TO TURN MY TRAUMA N TOXICITY INTO A FUCKING AESTHETIC.

I don't get why the fuck everyone literally fucking everyone shits on girlbloggers like damn i never heard you comment on toxic men, never addressing about all those women hating twitter threads. Like, Men shit on Women every fucking day, and we can't even post toxic feminine things.

Miyazaki, just out of frame, sledgehammer raised:

The more that comes out, the more clear it’s becoming that like 90% of this is Dreams fault so I’m not even shocked.

Beginning

< • >

waking up and seeing dream’s rip off project just breaks my heart man what the hell qsmp barely had two weeks to shine and now he’s introducing a VERY similar project in larger scale and uglier graphics and its just “the two are allowed to co-exist?” be fucking serious for a second dude why are you doing this NOW at the height of a project spearheaded by someone that used to call you a friend? like just . logistically speaking comercially speaking when you see how obviously similar these concepts are Why would you announce it now when you know someone else is getting the spotlight for once.

its hard not to call it spite or jealousy or anything of the sort when we cant confirm the timelines of this new project’s development but it REALLY, really feels like something unkind. not only that but it feels really gross to see most aspects of quackity’s passion project warped into something worse.. like LIVE TRANSLATION? really? bc dream of course wouldnt expect people to try and learn the different languages to communicate. he probably doesnt understand how redundant and ultimately hindering it will be to rely 100% on automated translation because 1) he’s not bilingual nor does he make any effort to understand the bilingual experience 2) he has no actual interest in the learning process of foreign languages or the different linguistic communities on twitch and in content creation in general . which makes me wonder WHY he is leading this and very likely profitting off of it when there’s no real reason for him to associate himself with this kind of cultural project other than . wanting to be relevant i guess.

during squidcraft, i didnt see him attempt a single word in spanish. i saw dream use google translate or straight up speak english (fast, idiomatic english at that) to spanish speakers and otherwise not try to meet a communicative middle-ground in any way. if this is how he intends to take on “united SMP” i cant wait to see it fail.

quackity’s project is successful because he cares. its modeled after his own experience and thrives because he as a bilingual host is able to cater to both communities within it and work as a linguistic bridge when need be. which, as we have watched day after day on qsmp streams, becomes less and less necessary because the environment quackity is fostering is actually very concrete INCENTIVE FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING. people are actually interacting and having meaningful linguistic/cultural exchanges that actually LEAD TO LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. how the fuck is that supposed to happen if theres live translation? ill tell you now, it won’t.

when we study linguistics in college one of the first things we learn in regards to foreign language teaching is that translation methods rarely fuckjng work. by doing that youre limiting human interaction and actually DISTURBING the learning possibilities because youre taking away Real, varied input. dream doesnt know what he’s doing and its so upsetting to watch. dont even get me started on “language rankings” or whatever the fuck the competitive aspect is supposed to be

the project is just so flawed and the timing couldnt be worse. quackity is doing such a great job and? you just try to hijack his idea like this even though you clearly lack both the heart and the knowledge to make something like this work? to me it just appears so sour. so mean-spirited and uninspired. i dont even know man i just dont like it

FIRST TOMMY THEN TUBBO NOW JACK??
