ranking tubbolive streams

by someone who has watched probably an unhealthy amount of streams

if you’ve never watched a tubbolive stream before, take my word that they are some of the best twitch streams. it is usually chill and laidback, the chat is great especially if you like bttv, and streamer music taste is actually good (though that does mean most vods are muted in portions) which means you can put it in the background easily. you can join at anytime, for any amount of time, and have a good time

#3 75 || just chatting, spore, valorant, dream smp, watch parties

while making this list, i realized that i'm just a sucker for long streams. this one was 12 hours long, though that is not uncommon on tubbolive. i remember i went to sleep to this stream and woke up to the stream still going. this stream was just so chill. tubbo has successfully converted me from someone who doesn't care for fps games to actually genuinely enjoying watching them. he also watched basically the entire season of tom clancy's jack ryan, which you can't see in the vod. but i'll be honest, the main reason i put this here is because he played build me up buttercup at the beginning and end of the stream and that has stuck with me even a month after this stream

#2 M || just chatting, valorant, origin smp, music

remember those posts that were like tubbo is always live? this is why. this one is about 11 hours, it starts with number jacks, goes to valorant, has some origin smp (o7) and ends with tubbo playing the piano. the vod for this one is also down, which is a shame, but if you find it on archive.org, it was a blast. the music part is probably one of my favorite sections that has ever come out of any tubbolive stream

HONORABLE MENTIONS (in no particular order)

UNCANNON ALT STREAM for like an hour @ 2 am lol (June 3, 2021) - *narrator voice* it was not one hour, in fact it was three. but this entire stream was just chatting and if you want a chill stream where tubbo just talks with chat, this one is the one

375 (May 30, 2021) - just chatting then raft with sneegsnag, we love lobster the gay shark and fish the pansexual seagull. this stream just has good vibes all around and really funny

TWITCH WON'T LET ME SPAM X's IN THE TITLE SO I AM TYPING INSTED (May 3, 2021) - modded minecraft isn't always my thing but oh my fucking god, this stream left me lightheaded because of how funny tubbo is with sneegsnag and boomerna

50 (May 7, 2021) - this is a beeduo stream, which describes everything you really need to know about it. they play scary game, planetary annihilation, valorant, and watch good omens

B (March 22, 2021) - bunkbedcast? bunkbedcast! tubbo, ranboo, and crumb play video games and talk together, and it's a ton of fun

250 (May 21, 2021) - there's a bit of everything here - some just chatting, some geoguessr, some townscaper where wilbur and tubbo make the funniest roleplay over tubbo's townscaper world, and some vault hunters. in general, all vault hunter streams are highly recommended

and finally for number one,

#1 P/Q/R || all of the detroit become human streams

for those who are not aware, for the first 26 streams, tubbo named each stream a letter of the alphabet. so maybe the streams for dbh were a bit scuffed because the game kept crashing, but the actual game and tubbo's commentary and choices were both incredibly entertaining. he actually got the best ending possible for all three storylines as well! i honestly am so glad that this was my first experience with the game because it was such an amazing play through. and as a cherry on top, all of these streams were also long origin smp streams and the building of the beeduo underground house. unfortunately none of these streams are available anymore but they are usually uploaded to archive.org

and that's the list! go watch some tubbolive streams, i promise you they are worth it

#tubbo #mine #this is just tubbo alt propaganda but the streams are just so good #they are also the only streams where i keep chat open #anyway go watch tubbolive

technoblade: a takedown pt. 2

(not clickbait) (okay maybe a little)

aka i go over every argument people make against c!techno one by one and determine whether they’re valid, false, or a mixture of both. i rewatched every single stream/video, including those on his alt channel, so i could approach this with the most information possible. i’ll be breaking this up into parts because there’s just too much otherwise. all about the characters unless stated.

techno has a victim complex - false

this is one of the first takes i saw in fandom and it’s always baffled me.

a victim complex is when someone holds the constant belief that they’re a victim, that everything is being done to specifically hurt them, and that no one else feels as much pain as they do, if they acknowledge that other people are hurt at all. that’s the clinical usage. (i know this, on a personal level, because my grandmother was told by two psychologists that she had a victim complex. she left both of them, saying they were trying to paint her as a bad person.)

techno has never shown a constant belief he’s a victim. in fact, he often shrugs off a lot of the things that’s happened to him - when talking to quackity about the execution, he says ‘yeah, that’s fair’ when quackity points out what techno did.

when techno had his ‘dang, the whole world is against me’ moment, it was in a moment when there were wanted posters for him, propaganda against him. he’s valid in feeling that way and that feeling didn’t even last for long.

expressing his hurt at tommy’s betrayal (and whether or not you believe it’s a betrayal, techno thought of it as such. i’ll address that in another point.) doesn’t mean he has a victim complex. techno felt hurt. there is a difference between feeling hurt in a messy situation where both parties felt pain and having a victim complex. or being angry at an unfair execution in which your friend is also hurt.

this isn’t a constant thing that techno does, either. he struggles with expressing himself despite being an emotional person. his paranoia that someone will try to kill him is not unfounded and also not something that he brings up constantly. and it’s the constant part that really takes away from the idea that techno has a victim complex. this isn’t his world view. he doesn’t think everything is done to hurt him. he doesn’t believe everyone’s actions are targeted at him. and that is the key components for a victim complex.

techno killed the bees in new l’manberg on doomsday - ehhhhhh mostly false

now, i’m not going to say that the bees wouldn’t have been killed regardless. they probably would have.

but the idea techno did it on purpose (which is bizarrely a take i have seen) just isn’t true.

like, it sucks. bees are my favorite. but take it up with philza minecraft. techno might have given phil the wither skulls but he didn’t tell him to summon them on top of the bee house.

techno should have been more upfront with tommy: valid

first and foremost, i want to state that techno did tell tommy what he intended. he told tommy that he could ‘sit it out’ when he destroyed l’manberg. he was upfront with tommy but he never truly pushed the issue and he should have. one of techno’s biggest flaws is his lack of communication skills.

techno betrayed tommy by teaming up with dream: complicated but mostly false

this one is difficult because tommy did feel as if techno had betrayed him and i don’t want to discount what he feels; tommy is valid in his feelings, they’re real.

so the question here is, are they objectively true? did techno betray tommy?

the simple answer is ‘no’.

techno teamed up with dream after tommy had left him for tubbo. (which i always feel like i have to clarify i think was the obvious outcome and i don’t blame tommy for that.) at that point in time, tommy had already broken their alliance. techno had no obligation to tommy at all. the partnership that they had was based on the two of them not being aligned with new l’manberg. once tommy went back to tubbo and sided with new l’manberg, techno was no longer on his side. there was no betrayal in that.

the other point that’s often brought up is that teaming with dream, specifically, was a betrayal because of what dream did to tommy.

there’s two issues with this: first, techno himself said dream is not his enemy. he said this after tommy had moved in with him in his ‘becoming incredibly rich’ stream. techno was only opposed to dream because he was teamed up with tommy. he had no personal grudge with dream. second, while techno certainly knew that tommy was afraid of dream and that dream had done something, he didn’t know the details. yes, the way tommy was acting probably should have been a clue - and probably would be for anyone else - but techno is notoriously bad with people.

now, tommy was certainly hurt by techno teaming up with dream and that’s the reason i don’t list this point as completely false.

techno has never apologized for what he’s done: mostly true

but not valid.

the words ‘i’m sorry’ have certainly been uttered by techno and specifically to tubbo before he killed him during the red festival. he has apologized and later explained himself to tubbo, who accepted that reasoning.

apologies, much like forgiveness, are not owed. they can be deserved, they can be the right thing to do, but it’s not something that a person is required to do. not even to become a good person.

the best indicator of that is changed behavior and techno has changed since doomsday. he’s acknowledged that he hurt people, despite not apologizing, and changed his tactics.

techno has never considered that he could be wrong or reflected on what he’s done: false

if you haven’t watched techno’s pov completely, i can understand why you would think this is the case.

but techno has reflected on what he’s done. he’s even admitted that not only is he not the best example of anarchism but that he’s not the best person.

he tells niki that he’s been a bad example and that he’s trying to change that because he wants to lead through example. and this is an important conversation because she’s the first person he seeks out. he knows she’s been affected by what’s happened and by what he’s done.

in the turtle stream, he tells phil that he’s ‘trying to be a better person’.

this is a point that i see used against techno often and, like the point above, is one of the ones that frustrates me the most. because, again, it is understandable but upon watching techno’s pov, you can see that it isn’t accurate. not only has techno reflected on his past actions, he’s come to the conclusion that he was wrong. his tactics were wrong and he has said as much, has demonstrated that he understands that and is working to change.

he still believes in his ideals, he still believes that government is inherently corrupt and - this is conjecture - i have no doubts that he wouldn’t resort to violence against a government, in the same way he used violence to help take down the eggpire. violence isn’t inherently cruel. it’s a tool, one that techno used to wield without thought (or because he believed it was the only way he would be heard) but now it’s one that has been tempered. if techno is a weapon, he used to be a crude one and saw that instead of cutting out the rotten bits, he was leaving a jagged scar and changed.

that doesn’t mean he won’t use violence again, it doesn’t mean that he won’t backslide or that someone won’t be hurt, but it does mean the idea he has never reflected on what he’s done is incorrect.

techno reflected on what he’s done and realized he was wrong, not about his beliefs, not about anarchy or even violence as a whole, but his tactics.

if you read this far, thank you. i know last time i said i would be tackling the butcher army but that has been requiring a lot of vod watching from other perspectives to be able to speak on it accurately. and adding it to this would honestly make this post disgustingly long (part one was almost 2k words, rip)
