and we're back to this discussion again.
you can do whatever you want to your comfort cubitos, but i can't not notice the trend hideduouers/fitpac nation started.
stop making mlm couples Straight. stop drawing them into heteronormative frames. it's Weird.
at first we were fighting for the fact that qpac is Not a Twink. we established the fact that he's a grown strong man, an ex convict, dangerous person who can stand for himself.
now we're again making him twink.
we established that fitpac is such a fresh sight of both adult gay men in media. now we are making one of them a woman.
i just don't understand. don't we have enough straight couples in media? isn't it enough?
why is it suddenly Different?
imo, if you want one character's gender, esp in homosexual relationships, change them BOTH then.
i'm actually tired of this conversation. I'm tired of erasing the representation cc's built for us. we were crying for more of this and now we just ignore it.
am i missing something?

I'm not sure if this is the end for the QSMP, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were shut down soon after this.
The eggs have been the lifeblood of the server since they were introduced, and having some of them permanently gone from the server is devastating for so many reasons, and bodes terribly for the future of this project. My optimism has run out. I will still wait for updates but I have no hope.
However, I wanted to write a piece for the community here on Tumblr. I know we're all very emotional right now, because while we have no confirmation that the QSMP will permanently close, we now have good reason to assume there might just be no other clear path out of this.
To the community:
Do not feel like you have to stop loving the server and everything it created. Do not stop creating art. Do not stop sharing why you loved the characters and the story and the world.
To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are discrediting the incredible work that the admins put into the server purely out of passion and the kindness of their hearts. Do not waste their sacrifices. Talk about the server and everything they did for it, give them recognition, let them know we love and appreciate all the time and care they poured into this project. Thank them by caring about their work that they put so much of themselves into.
To completely boycott everything QSMP, you are ignoring the beautiful friendships it created between content creators who otherwise would never have met, and the way it ignited such a fierce determination to learn about others' cultures in them. You are forgetting how much these streamers strived to tell engaging, relatable, fun stories, by themselves or with each other, and to have their fans talk about how much they liked their newest lore. You are refusing to acknowledge the effort put in by everyone on the project to tell amazing stories through the language barrier.
And to completely boycott the QSMP, you are denying yourself the fact that you loved this server; the eggs, the streamers, the stories, the cultural events, the laughter, the sadness, the friendships, the ship ships, the builds, the mods, the languages. You are part of this server for enjoying it's wonderful vitality and beauty and hilarity. As a community, we all are.
I have had my gripes with the QSMP fanbase, as anyone has gripes with the dysfunctional mad household they live in, but at the end of the day, I love it so much. This has been my first time actually being part of a fandom; interacting with people and sharing my art and my ideas, getting into silly debates and arguments, running my mouth off more than I should. I love this bizarre toxic fandom for all of it's worth; I love the fanfic writers (even if I think their characterisation is terrible), I love the fanartists (even if they give Pac those yellow scleras that always make me think of jaundice), I love the live bloggers (even if they clog up the main tag), I love the people who write analysis, the people who make animations and animatics, the people who webweave, and all the other things people in this fandom do to interact with the media we all collectively love and bond over.
We do not need to let this be the end of our community, as we can still share our admiration for the hard work put into this project, lift each other up, express praise where it is warranted.
And we can talk to each other, we can vent about how this has negatively effected us (provided we tag it appropriately 馃憗锔忦煈侊笍) and respond in kind to those seeking someone to speak to who relates.
The QSMP taught us the value of communication. While behind the scenes, it itself did not abide by it's own rules, we can. The QSMP itself is not the figurehead of communication; the content creators and the fans it sent this message to are. We can be an example of what the QSMP should have stood for.
I do not love the deeply flawed execution of the QSMP, but with my whole heart I love the idea; the ambition, the goal. It was noble. It, to some extent, worked.
It united communities.
Let it unite ours.

I've always been one to try to bring a bit of positivity to the tags when things get heavy, and while I do wanna do that, I also want to discuss my thoughts on what I've seen today and everything because I feel like this is a place where we can have a healthy discussion.
First things first though, here's the fluff. All discource is below the readmore. Don't click if that's not what you're here for.
Here are some of my favorite silly egg moments!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think it is really dissapointing to see how today went. It feels like more and more people are pushed out of doing the lore they wanna do as the responce is more and more toxic.
I feel like we can have a healthy converation about it here, and while I appriciate that and I'm seeing a lot of really great posts about those topics, I personally just feel dissapointment.
I feel like this was going to happen regardless because of the size of the audience that the veiwers have alongside mob mentality, and that inevitability sucks. I feel like it was ramped up by such an insane amount when the polotics started, and while I do my best to trust in the QSMP admins and their stories, it felt like a polotical arc was really one of the worst ways they could have moved forward.
Polotics are a banned topic in a lot of gatherings of a large amount of people for a reason. People get extremely passionate about things that they can't change or influence, often in a way where they feel like they have to be morally correct. Feeling like you have the moral high ground over someone is often a way people disregard others humanity.
This arc has torn the islanders apart for so many reasons, and it feels like it will only continue to do so as the audiences of the members get up in arms over a ficitional polotical system.
And please don't act like burning down bird app will solve every problem. I love yelling that as much as anyone else, but the truth is that there would still be toxic chatters getting in the same way they do now. There is inherently a problem in how people let the roleplay affect them.
I simply hope that Bad stepping back won't affect his fun on the QSMP and his friendship with Forever. They're very fun people and it truly saddens me that their public platforms may tear them apart. I simply want them to have fun in their silly roleplay.
That being said, these are my main thoughts, please feel free to shoot me asks or anything else, or even ask for fluff. I will write some. Okay night <3

Tagging with discource even though it isn't in case people want it blocked.
I understand a lot of Bad's chat is younger and all, and that's fine, but it feels like the level of childishness that some of the events are handled with by the chatters is frustrating.
When Forever's chat were coming in calling us Barbies, us reciprocating with the Ken nicknames and some people even joking about this being a marriage (equivalent to the Roier/Cellbit chat marriage). When some people were genuinley uncomfy with the joke marriage idea, it was dropped, but some people took the time to just yell at others for having silly fun. That included a quite prominent chatter who has donated a lot of subs tagging me and being mean just because I was agreeing with some of Forever's chat and saying, "oh well the barbies nickname is cute"
There were just multiple people being openly constantly told to shut up by chatters who dissagreed, and it was frustrating because QSMP has felt like such an open and fun space. Seeing people in the chat of the streamer I enjoy being so negative and childish, even to me, who rarely says a word and was just trying to communicate with another chatter, was just kinda heartbreaking.
I really wish he would hire a couple more moderators or just take less shit from his chat or something. The amount of people that were allowed to smash others fun and then continued to try and deny anything when everyone who liked the nickname was respecful of others is just. Really frustrating.
If you've gotten this far and you're one of Forever's chatters (Kens) I hope you know most of us in the chat think you're really cool and I think the nicknames are adorable. Hope it wasn't too upsetting for yall.
<3
