I remember seeing this twitter post about the qsmp where Charlie and Foolish were speaking to each other in Spanish. Two English streamers were talking to each other IN SPANISH! That was such a cool thing to see, so seeing all this stuff about Dream using an ai for his server makes me sad because we won’t be able to have stuff like that. We won’t be able to feel the joy of streamers talking to each other in languages their not used to!
yeah!!! the qsmp is very special because there’s such a learning aspect to it. there’s growth!!! i watched foolish’s day one pov and like. his spanish was Very Obviously from a guy who had not thought about it since high school classes. but now i tune in and he’s making a conscious effort to conjugate his words and constantly expanding his vocabulary and it’s SO COOL to see!!! there’s so much joy and love woven into that smp and it’s been running for such a short time all things considered, and all of that is just. null and void with AI translators. they’ll never have those moments. and it says so much about the approach of each server’s creator and their priorities (passion vs attention)
sometimes it hits me that fitmc of 2b2t, whom i have watched for years, and who, prior to the qsmp, had a very non mcrp audience and presence online, currently logs onto gayboy horror island every day to roleplay his minecraft character having a slow burn gay romance. like that is fitmc the youtube historian of 2b2t logging on to giggle and kick his feet over his block man character’s romance arc.
I have so many feelings about that create discussion at the end of fits stream.
Fit has no interest in create. So in his mind it’s not worth the 20k to unlock it. He can use that money to buy other things and not have to worry about it. It hasn’t even crossed his mind that if it’s locked for him it’s locked for Ramon. He so causally says “yeah I’m not getting Create, that’s 20k we’ll have over everyone else” and Ramon was right behind him. He’s a smart kid he knows what the financial situation is on the island, and Create is a massive ask. So he doesn’t mention it. It probably hurt a lot hearing that. One of his greatest interests and he wasn’t going to have access to it, but money was tight and he didn’t need it so better to save their money.
But Fit happens to bring it up. He goes small cause he knows how much it is. 20,000 coins. He doesn’t want to be a burden, but he answers. With the smallest head nod, yes create is locked for him if it’s locked for fit. And Fit tells him that if that’s the case then they can make it work. He’ll get create for Ramon and maybe by his one year birthday they’ll have it.
I get that. I understand that so much. Wanting things but knowing it’s way too expensive. Your parents can’t afford it, you don’t want to be a burden. They’re already doing everything for you, it feels selfish to ask for this too. But that’s Fit’s baby boy made in heaven by god himself. He knows how much create means to Ramon and as soon as he knows that he has to get create so Ramon can have it, he’ll do it. It might take a bit, but it’s worth it for Ramon.
