Without the QSMP my English ass would never have had the incentive to properly try and learn Spanish to a point where I can comfortably read some books in the language, let alone watch 2 entire rpg campaigns in Portuguese w subs. I never would have discovered Pac, Cellbit, Roier, Bagi to name a few, streamers who I have grown to watch and appreciate so much who don't speak my language as their first.

I've loved deciphering Pepito, Leo and Richas' signs and being shocked that I have a general understanding when I do. I've learnt so much about Brazilian culture, Mexican culture, French culture, more than I was ever taught in school.

I've loved seeing cc's like Philza and Tubbo spreading my culture to everybody else, however cursed UK memes may be. There's such a sense of pride in culture on the server, and I'm so glad the eggs were part of the glue that knitted everything together beyond language barriers. They truly made it feel like a home.

you know you're in a cishet male gamer discord when you see stuff like this without pushback in comment to people being mad or baffled by a gacha girl having a complete joke of proportions 🫡🫡🫡

it’s witchy season lads !!!!

In light of uh... Recent trigun events on twitter, here's a tihylttw and trigun crossover

based on my tweet that left its target audience

dumb death family doodle except people kept telling me to add people so here's where its at

thinking about c!dream earlier on in the server just makes me sad man. like, c!dream has never been a perfect character. he's always been flawed, always been a bit of an asshole, always had control issues. but also he knew that. he tried to work on that. he and tommy were friends, despite being flawed people with their own issues that would bump into conflicts because of the ways that they differed. c!dream tried, god, he tried; he wasn't even on the server, when the drug van happened, and walked into a place with someone who was practically a stranger to him building a wall and calling for war and having turned half the people dream knew against him, apparently, for no reason that he could've known at the time, and he had looked straight at tommy and tubbo and asked if that was what they really wanted when wilbur told them that there was no such thing as dual citizenship. he tells tommy when he has to sell a disc for spirit's leather even though tommy had surrendered the discs to him at the end of the revolution because he knows it'll matter to him. he and tommy truce, multiple times, and c!dream gets tangled into conflicts that literally don't involve him repeatedly and gets targeted Because He's Dream repeatedly and he plays along with that trivia contest and he gives gifts to fundy and tommy after terrorizing them a little for fun and he plays along with the dreamon thing and he keeps getting pulled into fights that weren't his but tries to make them a little more fair when they get him involved. he fucks around with tommy and they have fun, they're friends, and when he and wilbur look like they're in danger dream is one of the first to find them and lend them real, practical, valuable aid. he calls himself "Big D" in that book and he tells the man that wrote him as a tyrant that he doesn't want to be a villain in the story anymore. he asks tommy if he's okay, and watches that kid's back when he walks alone and unarmed into manberg, and fights with him at the battle of the lake and all of that is thrown back in his face as being a lie. half the intial community structures that exist were built by him; the community house, the nether portal and hub, the prime path. during a time where every other piece of leverage got burned or killed (rip the casualties of the pet war), dream was kind of known for being one that could be fairly traded with, that would minimize permanent damage. the kills in the final control room were originally to strip lmanburg of their gear, which he had kept in a chest so it could be returned to them after the war.

like no c!dream isn't perfect at the beginning of the server. yes he's kind of a jerk sometimes, kind of an asshole sometimes, kind of neurotic most of the time. but god dammit like c!dream does try to mitigate the worst of his control issues, when they flare up early on; the initial disc war ends with tommy getting his discs back as well as a stack of diamonds, in exchange for a netherite chestplate. he's a flawed character and he's still someone pretty friendly on the whole to most of the server, he's also kind of just known for being a little weird. he gives gifts randomly. he fixed creeper holes, and houses, and went along with bits. like whatever im a c!drolo c!dream woobifier and i admit it lol but for as much evil as he ends up doing, pretty damn consistently early on, he's . friendly? kind? funny? helpful? their neighbor. their friend. c!dream isn't just some stranger that flew off the handle; he's someone they knew and lived with who had his actions taken in bad faith because the goddamn story said so and kept fucking trying anyway until he believed the lie too. like he was just a guy!! a guy they knew and lived with!!! like my god

HERMITCRAFT SPOILERS

DANGGGG GG FALSE SHE IS THE WINNER REN FINALLY GOT HIS KILL AND MADE HIS HOMIE WIN

(via tangos stream)

So to recount everything that’s happened in the past 24 or so hours, give or take:

James Somerton releases an “apology” and reactivates his patreon

James almost immediately deletes said apology, deactivates his patreon again, and puts out a community post statement saying that he was obviously not in the right headspace to make that video

A major author in the self-publishing space, Mark Dawson, is accused of mass plagiarism in his books (hey James you have a friend)

Todd in the Shadows breaks records (well his own) by uploading his Worst Hit Songs of 2023 video earlier than he’s ever released a Worst list before despite putting it on hold momentarily to make a nearly-two hour video debunking a ton of misinformation spread in James’s videos. Oh, and this video has a reference to James in the intro.

Merry 16th

I do still think about him sometimes him in specific

no but its so crazy to me that “intense character driven plotlines were interrupted by intense insane event the admins put on” is even a complaint we can HAVE. like. god. We have it so good. invested creators AND invested admins AND sickass storylines AND fucking incredible storytellers everywhere we look??! we have it so good we have it so so good

Some Channels in the DAMN Crew Discord Server:

huxleys-good-boys

Filled with dogs Huxley sees while out and about

Both pictures and messages like “I couldn’t get a picture but there were TWO DOGS hanging their heads out of the car beside me at the red light!!”

Once Gavin snuck a picture of Damien onto the channel. He then had to beg Damien to let him back onto the server

the-rant-zone

Mostly populated by paragraphs of Lasko complaining about DAMN administration stuff

And then even LONGER paragraphs of Damien responding to those complaints. And only occasionally threatening to burn down a building

Lots of Freelancer saying “YES POP OFF KING!!! BURN IT DOWN!! 🔥”

Followed by Huxley’s “maybe no arson today Dames. I prefer you here and not in jail”

activities

Literally just Gavin and Freelancer each dropping a “😈” every time they fuck with no further context

Sometimes Hux replies with a “🎉”

Specifically thinking about long distance relationships today.

So tell me how you and your f/o would first meet online?
