What was Spreen and Roier’s betrayal? I only started QSMP during the Felps rescue mission and the lore recap videos didn’t cover that
okay first I want to preface this by saying you get a very very very different perspective depending on what pov you approach it by, especially because of how different the hispanic streamers' approach to lore is, so the focus is on cc!roier's pov because he's the one that chose to take it most seriously and actually incorporate it into his cubito's lore
anyway with that out of the way have some babooshka roier propaganda and go watch this animatic it's The roier cubito lore animatic and sums it all up pretty well
there's also this really good thread on twitter by @mmyashas that includes clips and screenshots, here's the link: https://twitter.com/mmyashas/status/1652070589882925056
if for some reason you can't access the thread the short but not that short version summary is that roier learned how difficult it is to make tacos after spending like an entire stream just trying to find the ingredients and ultimately had to enlist osito bimbo's help, so he made a bet with spreen that spreen wouldn't be able to make a taco in 10 minutes.
spreen then made a deal with rubius devil to get tacos in exchange for killing roier's dog and missa's cat. when spreen showed up with the taco roier got quackity to be his lawyer against having to fulfill the terms of the bet (like 100 subs) knowing spreen had to have gotten the ingredients from someone else. quackity sided with spreen and roier refused to give up his dog so he ran away until spreen managed to kill him and his dog (and missa's cat). that's when roier decided to enact and start planning revenge against both spreen and quackity.
there's more stuff that's happened since that the twitter thread mentions, but this pretty much sums up the basic foundation of the actual betrayal.

thanks! I guess my main question is; how can I be secure in my faith?
I was raised in the faith and I wish I could believe firmly with all my heart, but university (I study biomed) and the world's view of religion make it so hard. I've seen others say that genesis is allegory, which brings into question the historicity of the Bible and Jesus, and I don't know how that can reconcile with faith
Ooh! This is my favorite question :)
So I too was raised in the faith and I too study biology (microbiology in my case, with an emphasis on microbial ecology and evolution). I am firmly convinced that one should hold both Scriptural and scientific truth in high regard; when undertaken with a spirit of curiosity and humility, science and faith pose no threat to one another. In fact, I think understanding one bolsters an understanding of the other.
I'd start with this: I don't believe that Genesis is an allegory, nor do any of the theistic evolution proponents I've read and spoken to. Rather, Genesis uses figurative language to communicate creation and the fall from the perspective of a God who transcends time. Figurative language is innate in Scripture, and I think it's erroneous to take the most literalistic possible meaning for every line of the creation account. For what other part of Scripture do we do this?
I think we need to take it seriously; everything in Scripture is true. But I think when the creation account says, "And God separated the light from the darkness. He called the light Day and the darkness Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day," that's more similar to "I have been crucified with Christ" than "In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord." From a heavenly perspective, that's what happened, but just as I haven't literally had nails driven into my hands in order to be saved, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that God divided Day from Night in the space of one 24-hour day. It's a spiritual account, not a scientific account. That doesn't make the words of Scripture any less true.
But! I also think that when Christians discuss evolution, we tend to get far, far too hung up on Genesis and we end up missing some of the deeper implications of the conversation. Evolutionary biology pushes us to think about our embodiment and how deeply interconnected we are with the rest of creation. Likewise, a theistic framework narrows the odds when we talk about the organic origin of life, protein sequence space, etc. If a sovereign God was behind every movement of every atom, then we can see grace where an atheistic scientist sees only coincidence.
Don't ignore your scientific and historical questions, my friend. Ask them all. Chase them to the ends of the earth. All truth is God's truth, and behind each answer I believe you will find the glory of God.
Some reading to get you started:
Finding Darwin's God, Kenneth R. Miller
The Selfless Gene: Living with God and Darwin, Charles Foster
Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love, Elizabeth Johnson
The Age of Wonder, Richard Holmes
(Note: I don't agree with every word in all these books, but I find them all generally good and useful)
Just in general, I really recommend reading up on all those great Christians who were also scientists and great scientists who were also Christians. Don't take my word for it, take theirs! Read the books I recommended. Read Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Louis Pastuer! Augustine and C.S. Lewis! Stop centering the conversation on Darwin (who was a Christian, but who was just one guy). For goodness sake, don't listen to Richard Dawkins and Ken Ham. Throughout history, greater thinkers than you or me have reconciled faith and science. Thus, there's hope for us too :)
I'll leave you with this quote from Augustine's exhortation to humility from "The Literal Meaning of Genesis":
"In matters that are so obscure and far beyond our vision, we find in Holy Scripture passages which can be interpreted in very different ways without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such cases, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand that, if further progress in the search of truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it. That would be to battle not for the teaching of Holy Scripture but for our own, wishing its teaching to conform to ours, whereas we ought to wish ours to conform to that of Sacred Scripture."
All truth is God's truth.
