Yesterday, my lovely friend @whereisela and I got to discussing what our ideal ending to the Dream SMP would be, given the state of the SMP as it stands right now.

And I thought I’d share it. ❤

My main priorities are it being simple and also very happy. I love a good, cheesy ending!

So, my idea is basically that the egg takes over the SMP. It suddenly starts spreading really vigorously (maybe the egg hatches, I’m not picky over specifics) and infecting most of the server. Once possessed, they all start spreading blood vines everywhere, trying to consume the entire server and everyone in it.

Things look bad but the few survivors band together and start fighting back, in the form of trying to destroy all the red blocks. So you have the eggers spreading bloodvines and the uninfected taking them down in a nice minecraft friendly war.

Of course, the unegged are also trying to save the possessed members. They cut off vines near them and then they have to try and talk to them to break them out of the spell using the power of friendship, getting to remember the things they love and their friends. This works, as love is stronger than the egg’s control. Slowly everyone gets freed (and ideally it is the people they’re closest to who saves them, depending on if they’d plan out specific encounters like that for dramatic effect or leave it more to chance).

All the memorable locations from the SMP are covered in vines so they have to revisit all the old areas in saving the server and you get to see it slowly transform from red back to lovely greens and other colours as the unegged start to win. It’s like a loveletter to the server and how much it means to all the server members.

Dream was also egged but unlike everyone else, they fail to save him. His friends do try to get through to him but unfortunately the egg’s promise of power and control is too much for Dream who abandoned his attachments long ago and this is his demise. It’s emotional.

The rest of the server bands together and it takes all of them to finally destroy the egg once and for all but they do and everyone is saved. During the fight which can potentially last quite a while, you can have various members reconciling with each other and making amends as they all have to work together as friends. That can tie up a lot of the loose plot points and things.

And from there, you can go into your optimistic epilogue where they all enjoy the server that means so much to them, in essence saying goodbye (though the characters would be living happily ever after.) It’d be a fitting conclusion to it all.

We like this idea because it’s pretty straightforward, everyone can join in. If they want to do big emotional scenes some people can, while others might prefer to mostly play the game and they can also choose whether they want to be possessed by the egg or not. There’s some direction but plenty of room for improv, and anyone can stream but others could just make smaller cameos if they preferred. Also it’s really optimistic which I personally believe is just the kind of ending the SMP needs, and it’s thematically satisfying and hopefully a lot of fun.

We came up with a lot of more specific ideas within this scenario but this in any form would be wonderful. You can’t really go wrong with saving the world from a mind-controlling egg through the power of friendship.

#meta #analysis #dream smp #basically with the smp as it is rn its kinda a case of taking all the loose threads and tying them up as best you can #not all of its salvageable and this stage so ranboo will probably be stuck as a ghost etc but most of the outstanding stuff can be addressed #everyone reconciling is also super optimistic but characters are so inconsistent at this point that ill roll with it #itll feel good and look exciting and can involve everyone #and thats all an ending needs
