Note

not to oil a flame but if you consider doing hours of research and collaborating with multiple people to make sure you're factually correct and then publicizing your findings in a digestible format for the public about very significant and harmful disinformation that is still being spread around to this day is the "bare minimum", I think you're the problem

the queer community didnt get where it is by shunning help and trying to pretend you're better than others. have a little respect for your history and the community that protects you, unless you want to know why we had to fight so hard to get where we are

this is seriously over todd in the shadows 😂😂😂. Bruh what research did Todd have to do to point out hacky lies like "Forrest Gump had no cultural relevance" and "Most Nazis were gay". The ones that are still being spread around to this day were 1. Covered by Hbomb as well or 2. He didn't even get to. Yes researching a video debunking obvious lies (that will in turn get you way more praise, clout, money than effort you put in) IS THE BARE MINIMUM . IT'S A DRAMA VIDEO. He debunked obvious shit.

"the queer community didnt get where it is by shunning help and trying to pretend you're better than others."

He made a youtube video, not a nonprofit asshole. I'm allowed to have a fucking opinion on youtube drama.

"have a little respect for your history and the community that protects you"

Wtf? What the actual fuck??? What does a todd in the shadows video essay have to do with my history? How about the fact I have been pointing out Somerton (and other prominent queer youtubers) lies about our history and get other "kweers" attacking me for it everyday. And I didn't need some guy to be mean to my friend on Twitter to do it. Plus TODD ISN'T IN OUR COMMUNITY, and frankly, it shows. Like him being so flabbergasted that James cares more about best actress category than best actor, when that's normal in the gay male community. And I don't have any beef with Todd, my point was the EXTRA praise he was getting and WHY like him being a straight person made his contribution more special???

Also another thing I hate about you motherfuckers, youtube essays aren't protecting me or anyone else from shit. Yeah they *can* be education, but it's a business people profit from like everyone else. And a lot of them raise money for trans issues sometimes but it's not like they are our actual political representatives. Can you name one LGBT activist, their place in history, and what they did? Probably not, you lot can just say "Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick at stonewall" and run. People like you are why Somerton got so popular, you like the aesthetics of education and activism without doing any of the work, like reading or community service.

"unless you want to know why we had to fight so hard to get where we are"

When will you people learn online discourse about youtube drama has zero effect on the rights of anyone anywhere?? All this because I'm not sucking off some straight youtuber who made a drama video? You're really threatening me with the repeal of my rights? You people are so disconnected from reality. Who the fuck is "we", anon? What have you done?? I was shunned by my mother's side of the family and my dad couldn't even look at me when he found out I was gay. I was homeless because of it, I lost everything. You know who didn't help me during that fucking time??? A FUCKING VIDEO ESSAYISTS!! Changing opinions on homosexuality, lesbian activists who actually made political changes, and myself! That's what "protected" me, okay? Frankly the LGBT community treats lesbians like crap and always guilts us with "we need to stick together" or "you don't want to fight for your rights again do you??" As if we aren't still fighting! So no, I won't be guilted into sucking the dick of the straight white man of the day. I'm not going to put up with being interrogated on why I don't suck dick in general. I'm not putting someone's feelings before my physical boundaries. I'm not going to police my language. I'm not going to qualify discussions of homophobia against lesbians with how some groups have it worse or how we're all effected, or how I'm not one of those problematic gay, or etc. I'm not bending over for an online queer community that produces nothing of value, frankly. This behavior is condescending, self-important, and honestly embarrassing.

#lesbians #bi women and other members of the community have called out somerton's lies and BS for years and we get attacked #but we should be so grateful now #and the hours of research and collabaration is telling everyone the vampires do get erections lol like he barely covered anything important #that hasn't already been said but im supposed to call him a hero fuck off #james somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #a bi man did most the work and I respect him and again I don't hate Todd he's fine and cool but hbomb still gets most the credit #anon asks

YES THE STREAMS WHERE H GIVES NIKI HIS STUFF IS SO DEAR TO ME!!! h never had much of his own stuff during his time on the sever and he gave so much of it to the one person he trusted. i wish there was more with his character/not catmaid but what we had are some of my favorites.

-🦎

I KNOWWWW like I barely knew anything about c!hbomb at the time I just happened to be watching niki's stream when that happened, but even I could tell what a big deal it was for him to give her most of his stuff like that. it was honestly such a good stream and made me so fond of c!hbomb as a character

I love George and think he's absolutely skilled but yes sometimes he is getting by on luck too and he has had poor SoT performances due to that before

george does make ‘bad’ decisions in SoT but we can all acknowledge how he doesn’t usually get into highly detrimental situations like for example earlier hbomb explained that even if george had died during the blaze situation it would’ve BARELY made a difference bc he was Right at spawn so george wouldn’t have lost All his coins plus in past mccs he did play things riskier when there had been a safer way to go about it but he plays it safer these days (given the increase in difficulty of SoT) and therefore thinking his top performances in the game should only be attributed to ‘luck’ and ‘plot armor’ and ‘pretty privilege’ is a disservice

#ask #btw this isn’t directed at u its just a statement in general

Okay was rewatching some of Puffy's streams and 3 different streams in a row Karl stole from her.

He stole bookshelves and an enchantment table one stream, tons of quartz another stream (which bothers me the most because of how annoying it is to get Quartz and Karl just took it from a chest full of building materials) and he stole enchant books and more building materials the third stream.

I tried to think it was accidental and tried to come up with multiple explanations but it's getting stupidly difficult to think it's accidental like once or twice I'd be a bit upset but still doubting it however this is three separate times within a span of like 2 weeks. Not to mention him straight up destroying part of her builds multiple times because he couldn't be bothered to walk to the entrance and instead mined out the window. (Not forgetting that he mined half of targay for blocks he never used and threw away and when he tried to steal her beacon but her chat warned her and she killed him)

You know it's bad when other server members have mentioned it and how annoying it is. Hbomb told Niki that she shouldn't have to apologise to Karl when she was there first. Foolish didn't know who stole from Puffy but said it was getting repetitive and annoying. Foolish, Ranboo, Sam and Bad have all given Puffy things after Karl stole them from her. Nobody likes to acknowledge Kinoko Kingdom like Tubbo just straight up was like "pretend I do not see" Phil got a dono about it and started reading it only to go "k.....anyways"

I want to also add that yes most of the server steal but it's not from the same person or people everytime it's mostly people digging through each chest they find and just taking what they want. For example Tubbo stole a ton of mending books from Hbomb thinking they were Eret's and when he found out he gave Hbomb the emeralds he stole from Techno (and then restole more emeralds from Techno). Quackity used and destroyed Niki and Hbomb's catmaid cafe for lore and apparently offstream he and Wilbur replaced all the blocks that they destroyed like the floor and windows. Sapnap kills George and steals his stuff only to give it back at the end of stream or after stream.

I try to like Karl and his content but it's a constant thought in the back of my mind. Like at least pay them back or do the bare minimum and apologize. It's not funny. It's as funny as people constantly killing George or trying to get Bad to swear.

Dream SMP Recap (March 1/2021) - Breaking Point

Sam has been unable to find a cause for the security breach, leaving Tommy trapped. A heated argument in the cell escalates to a horrifying end.

As the rest of server mourns, the Eggpire celebrates. With their biggest obstacle in the way of their objective gone, it’s time for the next step.

It’s the start of the Final Stage.

- HBomb hosts Foolish and Jack Manifold’s episode of L’Cast!

---

The Prison Stream

(This portion of the recap will be more detailed than normal since it’s one long conversation and there are many important lines here, including a couple that were hard to hear during the stream)

---

- Tommy’s stream starts with him making sounds and singing “Roadtrip.” Dream tells him to stop, he’s trying to write a book.

Tommy: “What are you writing, Dream? What are you writing?”

Dream: “None of your business.”

- There’s a little gray and white cat sat on the chest. Tommy says it’s annoying.

Dream: “No he’s not...he’s actually the best thing that’s happened to us.”

Tommy: (Trying to lead the cat away) “Come with me, come with me...you know what I named him, don’t you? Pussboy, Pussboy!”

- The cat returns to its spot on the chest

Tommy: “Oh, Pussboy, you are so ugly.”

Dream: “C’mon, you’re being mean!”

(Tommy punches the cat)

Dream: “Tommy! Stop!”

- Tommy starts singing “Roadtrip” in autotune. Dream tells Tommy that if he can be quiet, he’ll give Tommy more potatoes.

Dream: “I think that...the cat is the best thing that’s happened to us.”

- Sam joins the call to say hello and ask how it’s been going. He’s come to drop more food into the cell. Tommy also picks up a new clock.

- Tommy asks to be let out, but Sam says he still hasn’t found out what the security issue is. Dream asks how long Tommy will be in here for. Potentially for a while, but not forever.

- Tommy protests about how bad the prison has been. He threatens to get lawyers on Sam, he knows Big Law.

Tommy: "Sam...you know I don’t deal very well in...close quarters situations for a long time, Sam. Sam, you remember when you visited me in exile, Sam? Alright, this is worse than that, Sam...let me out. I don’t like this. Let. Me. Out. Sam.”

- Sam insists he’s doing the best he can and leaves.

- Dream tries to say that it’s not that bad. He’s been in there for a long time, but now it’s better! Tommy writes a book to Dream, signs it and throws it to him.

Dream: “I have company. I have a cat -- I mean, technically it’s not my cat, technically it’s your cat, but still! It’s just as good, keeps me company when I write and everything, we talk sometimes -- ‘cause you’re annoying a lot of the time--”

- Dream throws away the clock in the lava, saying they don’t need it. Tommy punches the cat again.

Dream: “Tommy, hear me out, hear me out...what if...we get out together, okay?”

- Tommy is not a fan of the idea, Dream shouldn’t be let out too. He goes over to the cat and shouts at it for being in his spot. He punches Pussboy twice.

Dream: “Tommy...TOMMY, STOP!”

Tommy: “Excuse me! Come this way, come this way, excuse me Dream I’m trying to right-click Pussboy--”

(Dream moves to get in front of the cat)

Dream: “Tommy.”

Tommy: “Come here, come here! Do you like this cat, Dream?”

Dream: “Yes, I do.”

Tommy: “Why?”

Dream: “Because he -- Tommy, he keeps me company --”

(Tommy punches Pussboy again and leads him towards the lava)

Tommy: “Pussboy, this way. Pussboy, this way. Let me show you the light--”

Dream: “He’s probably low, he’s probably low!”

Tommy: “Oh what, you love him? Do you love him? Do you love him?”

Dream: “Yes, I do...Tommy, he’s made things better in here -- okay listen! When you leave, can you sit him down and leave him here?”

(Tommy goes over and punches Pussboy again. He tries to lead Pussboy away again, but when the cat doesn’t come he punches Pussboy twice more, killing him)

Tommy: “Yeah. And that’s what happens when you love something, bitch.”

...

Tommy: “See, now when I leave, when I leave, you’ll have nothing! ‘Cause you are lonely, and you’re m-m-manipulative, you’re a fuckin’ twat, and I mean that.”

Dream: “Tommy...I’m gonna get out! And you just motivated me -- you motivated me all the time, you just -- that was hope, right? The cat was hope -- the cat was hope that I could live a nice life in here--”

Tommy: “And now it’s dead, now it’s dead.”

- Dream insists that he’ll get out, and when he does, he’ll get his revenge on everyone who wronged him. Tommy asks if he’d kill Tubbo.

- The subject goes back to Dream’s plan of escape.

Dream: “I have a plan. And the thing is, Awesamdude’s never gonna believe you that I have a plan because he thinks it’s unbreakable, unescapable--”

“I have a plan. And you know, there’s a certain someone who owes me a favor, but -- that might be a part of it, but...I do have a plan.”

- They argue about the conditions of the prison again.

Dream: “I’ve been in here a for hundred times longer than you, and you sit there trying to tell me that it’s so horrible, that it’s so bad -- yeah, it was! But guess what, we have each other to talk to, and we had a cat until you fucking killed it!”

Tommy: “Dream...Dream, and listen to this -- fucking engrave this on you, write this into your arms, Dream...You don’t have me. You’ll never have me. We don’t have each other, alright? I am me, and you are this fuckin’ loser who goes around manipulating people, lying to get what he wants. You are a fuckin’ no one, man, alright? And when I’m going to leave here, you’re not! You might have a favor -- you think, who is it, Technoblade’s gonna be able to come in here to let you out -- Technoblade, he doesn’t like governments, but he likes self gain! You think he wants to piss off the owner of the most POWERFUL building on the entire server, just so that he can get a video that BARELY scrapes the five million view mark -- NO, Dream, alright? You’re a fuckin’ asshole, you’re deluded, you’re delusional, and I fuckin’ hate you.”

Dream: “Okay...yeah, but I have something Techno would want, so...it means knowledge, alright?”

- Dream says that even when he’s in here, he’s more powerful than Tommy outside. Tommy replies that if he wanted to, he could kill Dream right now. The only reason he doesn’t is because they need the revive book.

- Dream says that he will never use the revive book to help Tommy or his friends. Ever.

Dream: “So kill me. Go ahead, come on.”

- When if Tubbo dies, Dream says, they’ll come begging for Tubbo to be revived, and Dream will ask to be let out.

- Tommy then says that this isn’t worse than exile, because in exile, Tommy thought Dream had all the power, and Tommy knows something...he thinks the revive book isn’t real. Jschlatt was just a drunk, why would he have this book?

Dream: “Jschlatt gave me the book -- why else would I switch to Jschlatt’s side?!”

...

“I’m not lying! Jschlatt gave me a revive book after...before he died....because...he said--” (he cuts off here)

- Dream asks why he would be lying about that.

Tommy: “You’re a liar! You’re a liar, and really, through your Netherite armor and skin, I look at you and you know what I see? I see a sad little man who’s insecure about the fact that this server has gotten so far ahead of him that his only little glimpse of power in this world is gone. And I see an insecure, sad little man. So fuck off. You stupid green lad.”

Dream: “Your life...is literally in my hands. Does that piss you off? Does that make you mad? Does that make you so mad that I -- if you kill me -- I MIGHT AS WELL BE A GOD, TOMMY! YOU CAN’T KILL ME, AND I CAN KILL YOU! So what does it mean, that you can’t kill me because of the revive book -- what does that mean? If you can’t kill me, does that make me some kind of god?”

Tommy: “No Dream. I could kill you right now. If I wanted to.”

Dream: “Okay. But you won’t. But you won’t! I could kill you if I wanted to! I could kill you right now, actually.”

...

Tommy: “I don’t think this revive book is real. Schlatt? He’s fuckin’ dead. I’ve seen his grave! His grave is real, his corpse is there!”

Dream: “Okay...Why don’t you go see him then?”

Tommy: “NO -- stop it stop it stop it st--”

CANON DEATH: TOMMY

Cause: Punched to death

--- ---

End of stream.

---

- Tubbo, Ranboo and Jack see Tommy’s death message in game chat.

- They go to the prison and Sam is there to tell them what happened. Sam couldn’t get there in time. He didn’t think Dream would actually kill him. They’re all in shock.

- Tubbo and Ranboo think Tommy will be back. There’s no way he’s actually dead, right?

- Jack Manifold is in celebration. He got what he wanted! He thought Dream would want Tommy alive, and killing Tommy himself would be an extra jab in the chest for Dream, but apparently not? And now he has a hotel!

- He decides to check on Tubbo and makes sure he’s okay.

- Jack walks down to the shore and looks up at the prison, and...it hits him. He’s spent months plotting to kill Tommy. Jack realizes his victory feels hollow. Even now, Tommy and Dream have managed to take away this from him.

- Of Ze Haus, he says that this place no longer means anything to him. He gets a flint and steel and sets it alight, watching it burn.

- He passes by Tommy’s house and finds Ranboo planting red and white flowers outside.

- Jack switches into his L’manburg uniform and walks along the Prime Path.

Jack: “I remember the day I joined the server. The day after the first war. L’manburg was still a big hole, and we built it up. And Tommy invited me to join. And I betrayed him (laughs), so really this has all come full circle.”

“Maybe I was always really just upset because I always felt like he cared more about the discs than...anyone. And I guess I just enjoyed it when we were friends...and...I’ve not really had any friends...since...then, really. Never really wanted any.”

- Jack later speaks with Foolish and tells him that Tommy’s never coming back from prison. Foolish didn’t know him too well, but he’s still a bit sad. When anyone passes, it’s sad.

- Jack heads back out into the wilderness, wandering to the beach area at the edge of the forest where Quackity had his argument with Badboyhalo a while back. There’s something just beyond the hill.

- Quackity meets him there and escorts him back home, telling him he was heading too close to something, could have gotten “a nice view of it.”

- He’s been thinking of writing up a draft of their contract. He also sees the new McPuffy’s.

- Jack tells Quackity that Tommy’s not in the prison anymore. Quackity says they need to talk to him and make sure Jack keeps his hotel. As the rain pours, Jack tells him. Tommy didn’t make it.

- Quackity and Jack have a moment in front of Tommy’s house. Though upset, Quackity says it’s time to get back to work.

Quackity: “Jack...don’t let this affect business. The train doesn’t stop.”

Jack: “No, it only goes faster.”

- Jack also speaks with Antfrost. Antfrost gives his condolences, and says he’ll put together a celebration “of life.”

Ant: “Bad and Sam will be happy...to attend, of course!”

- Afterwards, Jack heads down into Karls nightclub and ends stream there.

- Connor speaks with Sam Nook at the hotel.

- Bad meets Ant at the Holy Land. Ant asks if the church would be a good place for a celebration. Ant sits Bad down to tell him. Bad is overjoyed.

- Bad says that now, they don’t even have to do any preparations:

They can move into the Final Stage.

- They get milk for the cake and decide to throw the party at Tommy’s house!

- They meet with Sam at the prison entrance. He sounds dejected.

Sam: “I didn’t think Dream would ever actually...try and kill him”

Bad: (laughs) “Is this the same Dream we’re talking about? It’s Dream, Sam.”

Sam: “I mean...Dream had...I thought I had...broken the will out of him, to do something like that. But he...he did.”

- He says they need to find out what it was -- he wandered around the prison several times and couldn’t find any sign that someone had done something.

- Ant and Bad try to reassure Sam that Tommy signed the waivers, he went to see Dream, and Sam shouldn’t blame himself. Sam doesn’t see it that way.

- They say they’ll talk to Sam later and leave the prison. They see Sam Nook at the hotel. Sam is excited about the new upgrades for the hotel! Tommy will be so excited to see them!

- They return to Tommy’s house and speak with Punz as they make a party floor and sing the Crab Rave song in dudududus.

- Meanwhile, Captain Puffy is grieving, feeling like she failed Tommy. As she logs on, Bad and Ant decide that Puffy might want to join them for the party!

- Punz meets them there, and they tell him that Tommy’s dead. Punz isn’t sure how he feels, it’s bittersweet.

- Puffy arrives and angrily tells them to leave. What’s wrong with them?!

- The Eggpire sees Sam Nook at the hotel and goes up the floors to find a place to party. Puffy comes up and tells them to find another place to party. They argue again.

- Foolish arrives to visit his room in the hotel. Puffy leaves them. They quarrel about who has the room for the night.

- Puffy mines down the Eggpire’s meeting room. She’s noticed that being a hero hasn’t worked. Sparing people, being merciful, it hasn’t worked. She might need a change of perspective.

- The Eggpire decides to visit the Egg and break the news to it. They see the wreckage, but Puffy is in the Nether by the time they get there.

- Puffy visits Logsted.

- The Eggpire goes down to the Egg Room and finds the pathway blocked up with obsidian...is this why the Vines have been slower to grow lately?

- They break the barrier and find the Egg drenched in water. They wake up the Egg and it speaks.

“This world is mine. It belongs to me.”

“No no no, I know, but we’ve got something to tell you!”

“I see all...I...am...all...”

“Oh so you--”

“I know all.”

“You know then! Guess -- well, we’ll tell you anyway in case you don’t know -- but guess what? Tommy’s dead! Dream -- the green guy, you met him -- killed him in the prison! I guess Tommy got stuck there, and Dream killed him! Are you happy?"

“Feed me...I require nourishment.”

“No no no, don’t worry -- that’s coming soon! We’ll take care of that! We’re already gonna begin the preparations, right guys? Yeah, we’re gonna begin the preparations, and we’ll send out the invitations, we’ll let everyone know...and the final stage can commence! This is wonderful!”

- Once on the surface, Bad announces that with a little more preparation, they’ll all get exactly what they want. The final stage is about to commence.

The day of celebrations, the day they’ve been preparing for, the day the Egg has been preparing for, is about to happen...

- Bad goes down to the Egg Room one last time and stands at the Egg to give a final speech.

“Everything leading up to this point, EVERYTHING, all the way going back to the discovery of this...beautiful, luxurious Egg, okay...we had it all planned. As soon as we found it, we knew what was gonna happen. We knew the objective...”

“We may have forgotten what it was, forgotten the ultimate goal as soon as we boxed the Egg up in obsidian. But guess what -- that didn’t stop the Egg! Boxing it up only made it STRONGER, and LARGER, and more powerful! And the Egg’s been storing up that energy, okay? You may have been thinking the Vines have not been spreading...but that’s because we haven’t WANTED them to spread. We have been working, storing energy, storing power...in preparation for the final plan. The final objective. And there were only a couple people getting in the way. But guess what? One of the biggest obstacles -- Tommy -- is no longer in the way...now that he’s not in the way, we can commence with the final stage...the final party...before it all comes to a conclusion...”

“Brace yourselves...everybody on this server, prepare. Anyone who is anti-Egg...you guys better get ready, because we know who you are. And at the end of the day, the Egg is gonna be victorious. And there’s nothing ANYBODY can do to stop it.”

“Good luck.”

Why Tommy is one of THE BEST written characters in existence.

Alright, that’s it

Here I give you my fuckin Take on why Tommy is one of the best written characters out there and can easily compete with best-selling Novels like Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. I’m sick of a trashing that doesn’t even make sense. So buckle up. Here I will tell you why Tommy has one of the best written characters in history of Books and Movies. Remember, I write this all in my perspective and take many examples of other character books as well

Before this all starts, I will also talk about the main characters of some series, since Tommy has the reputation of being a “main” character.

When I look at the books I’ve read, I see a large range of characters and there way of making the story interesting.

Now, to establish a good character, we need key points of motivations, to make them relatable and bla bla blub:

Personality

Part of the story

Their Powers

Flaws

Relationships

Prized Possessions

History/the backstory

The moral and story the character tells

First tho, I want to explain some words I’m going to use here!

Mary Sue/Gary Stu:

Those are characters who are flawless, have missing chunks of personality and mostly one way written. They are easy to achieve when you are trying to make your character look badass.

Examples in some Fandoms are

· Rey Skywalker (Star Wars Sequels 7-9)

· Hermione Granger (Harry Potter Movies)

· Bella Swan (Twilight)

Tree-System:

Imagine a tree. You plant something small and soon you have something giant with many branches, roots and connections. You have the seed you plant and with caring and care you let it grow. Then you have somewhat a sapling. The tree grows with the care and soon you have a tree with many branches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Personality

Negative:

Tommy’s personality is very brash and out of control = He’s barely containable in fights, going off to do his own risky plans and starting two or so fights. He can’t forgive a person very easily like Eret, who took it a long time to get forgiveness and Techno, as he shot Tubbo at the Festival. He makes decision that also cost his life like the duel because he hates losing

Tommy can be very lazy, giving the thought he wouldn’t have to do the hard work = Shown when he tries to steal the hearts of seas from Eret or potions from Techno, bargain with “drugs” by Puffy and Ponk or gives other people the work he doesn’t want to do like he did with getting cobblestone

Like a child, he often clings to close people and annoys others for attention = His desperate attempts to have company or someone praising him shows, when he tries to get Philza’s approval (or a pat on the back), constantly looking out, if Tubbo’s either okay or where his is,

He doesn’t like to wait or doing things in the long run = He constantly asks when something is finished, when they could go or in his exile, when he was allowed to go back to L’Manburg

He doesn’t show often his cooled down, scared and vulnerable side = He often overshadows his trauma with a facade of jokes and bad hidden hurt he brings out. When he talks about something bad, he’s clearly confused, not really knowing on how to understand it. Also he runs away from things he can’t control a panic attack like visiting the final control room or looking away from the holes in Logstedshire

He runs without head into a battle so often as possible = Only when they had their final showdown for the disc, Tommy was seen preparing in story, thinking it would be his last fight

---

Positive:

But as he has negative traits, his positive shows to many people clearly.

His unwavering loyalty to the closest of people = His loyalty to Tubbo, Wilbur And L’Manburg are, were and always will be a part of him. He stands against anyone who goes against that, even if it means pain in many ways.

Passionate about dear projects of his = You can see Tommy talking about his discs or see an video where he would spent days getting different discs. Those things are very known to be rare things, so for Tommy to possess it gives him somewhat power. L’Manburg was the same passion, even a bit more, as you can see he was ready to give up his most prized disk. The last and in the moment is his hotel

Bravery like no one makes him as one of the dangerous person on peoples hitlist = He stands up for others. He stood up to L’Manburg. He in the end didn’t care that he lost a life. When he sees a foe, he won’t stand down and submit, he will fight against the oppression and tell them that in the face. During the mission to get a visa, he stood against Schlatt, even if they were clearly in the loose of people and disadvantage. Or getting an apology of Sapnap for killing Niki’s fox. Fighting against 5 people with just one ally while the other is a hostage.

His leadership = There are not many people who can take it up, but Tommy is an exception. He can coordinate people with his loud voice and somewhat thought plans. He is charismatic, even if he’s not so good at it like Wilbur, he still can motivate people to fight for themselves or others. He’s seen to lead others into battle and taking in the fighting part a leading role

Unselfish. That’s one of the most arguable things about Tommy`s character = You can´t look at a kid and say he is selfish because he wants to get something dearly back. Especially Tommy, after he gave the things up, he cared about. But if something is happening again, he will lay it down to do the other thing. As seen by the egg, he had a hard time thinking what to do. He, in a long time, didn’t want to be catalyst for something to happen. Not when he in the moment could have stopped it. So doing this act for himself ones, was a good decisions, since they clearly weren’t ready for war

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part of the Story

Outside of the story:

Let’s all just get something “straight”. What would Dream SMP without Tommyinnit. Now. Don’t get me wrong. All the creators on the SMP are amazing. They are all wonderful and deserve every bit of Attention and fame they get. But just imagine.

We heard from Tubbo, he was the one, who got him into the SMP. Schlatt and Wilbur came because of a “visit”. Quackity was added because TOMMY said he was bored. And from that, we got somewhat of a tree system. As Tommy was invited and drawn into conflict by Sapnap (shoutout to best boy!), he got more people.

He also has the highest viewership and kind of shortest streams, since he is doing college next to Youtube and Streaming. He can’t give up his high viewers since all of those 200.000 (average) – closing 650.000 People (doing something like a big lore stream in prison or the disc final), choose to watch him.

Also a reminder again, Tommy has his storyline as does everyone else. When we saw Tommy and Techno during the partner up arc doing something with the dogs, they saw the start of the red vines arc BUT said they were on the wrong storyline. Tommy was asked by the eggpire writers if he wanted to be a part of the story and he said yes. Why do you think he nearly says nothing about the egg. He leaves it to the writers. Also, it was said by one of Wilbur’s Character descriptions, that Tommy was okay with others doing something with his character, while Techno was more reluctant with his.

Let me say it again, every creator is awesome and individual! Nobody should be compared to others. But with Tommy coming to the Dream SMP, there really was a change in the game.

Remember, that’s because we also have a BT (before Tommy) and AT (after Tommy) Timestamp in the wiki!

Inside of the story:

Now, with Sapnap, Alyssa, Ponk and Tommy in the first ever big conflict its shown the importance. People assume Tommy is one of the conflict bringers, even though he was dragged in it by having something stolen by Sapnap and then forced to fight with him, to get it back.

The Consequences he’s got where having his discs get stolen. This is what Tommy’s biggest character motivation was the first two seasons. Those discs are known on the server and when you think about gifting something to C!Tommy, it would be a disc.

Techno = Disc Wait

Badboyhalo = Disc Pigstep, Chirp

HBomb = Disc Pigstep, Wait

Tubbo = Stal

LazarBeam = Far

Tommy is a openminded boy who longs for funny little adventures and pranks, since he is just a young person. It’s in his nature.

So why, when he does something, are people looking on him?

Because the things he was and is a part of some of the biggest events. And him being so loud and brave and rash lets him stand out. If you look at the old (hah) Revolution of L’Manburg, who can you hear talking the most and the loudest? Tommy and Dream. They were the most outgoing about the war with Sapnap, Tubbo and Wilbur following. Fundy was more quieter (thankfully he has so much more lore now).

Tommy’s character is known to fall or be dragged head first in almost every conflict. He has connections to who? Mostly everybody. So of course he’s connected big parts to the stories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Powers

Okay. Every “main” character or character with huge importance to the story has some kind of power. Looking at Dream, who is a “demigod” or Ranboo who I don’t even have to talk about. So what about Tommy?

Well. He doesn’t have any. Tommyinnit is one of the people, we get to have as an “human” character

Hannah = nature “Spirit”

Karl Jacobs = Timetraveller

Antfrost, Technoblade, Ranboo, Fundy = Hybrids

Dream = Something something green blob

Awesamdude, Puffy, Philza, Sapnap, Eret, Schlatt = Adding Features (wings, eyes, body parts)

Badboyhalo, Skeppy = completely different species apparently

Tommy has, as we know of the moment, a not confirmed power. The assumptions of the egg are not clear, since we haven’t seen those interact in a while. All we know is, Tommy didn’t get hurt, destroying a part and not feeling anything, while being in contact. That in canon considered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flaws

As talked before in personality and also in an assumption, we see the pattern of loyalty and brashness repeating.

Flaws are the most important parts of a character. It shows the struggle of their adventure and learning how to live with it.

Percy Jackson learned loyalty is nothing, if you don’t have someone to project it on.

Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker learned being a hot head didn’t really bring him forward and it’s important to have a plan

Frodo Beutlin learned that it is okay taking care of yourself and what attachment means

Anakin Skywalker learned fear is controllable and it shouldn’t be a remaining part of your life

Tommy learned over the time that his rashness could hurt others, loyalty couldn’t come back to him like he gave it out and he learns even more in the coming future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relationships

Tommy’s relationships is a mess of strings. Some are badly knotted and some are very clear.

A characters connections is an important part for the character himself.

Relationships in life are

· Enemies(-figure)

· Rivals(-figure)

· Friends(-figure)

· Family(-figure)

· Lover(-figure)

· Complicated family(-figure)

· Complicated friend (-figure)

Relationships are a part of everyone’s life. Not with everybody is a good relationship holdable. Either it’s because their hurting each other or another person. People change and that’s a part of life.

Tommy realized, even tho it hurt, that Techno wasn’t good for his mental state and health. It went against everything Tommy ever stood for.

And Tommy and Tubbo’s relationship wasn’t really that broken. It’s normal for friends to fight. Normal for them hit their heads in. Tommy and Tubbo were surrounded with people who were, at the time, a terrible addition to their mental life.

The Dream SMP doesn’t talk it out, hell the talking club was just destroyed because they preferred fists over words. So why do you think everything is going out with a fight, if it’s all they learned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Priced Possessions

Every character has to something a connection.

Might it be Percy Jackson and his sword

Might it be Harry with his glasses, broomstick and wand

Frodo and his stupid ring

For Tommy we all know it’s his ender chest inside and secret chest. He keeps many belongings in his chests and always has been one for those things. He kept flowers, compasses, Friendship signs and most importantly, his discs.

The care for something of items are important. Might it be a teddy, old photo or jewelry. People get protective over it, because it holds sentimental value to the person.

If you ask me, to let go of my teddy bear, I will show you my middle finger. Probably beat you up too.

You can’t just throw out your memories into a fire or pit of lava. This is just showing you never had a care and everything you had a memory with it before would have been gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

History/Backstory

We don’t have much here, but still something to work with.

A Hero doesn’t have an easy live. And it’s an said thing that every Hero needs an origin Story.

Tommy, said not really anything about his past.

All we know is that Tommy didn’t have anyone, presumably an Orphan, he knew the sleepy bois already a long time ago and he never learned on how to ride a bike, saying he never really had a family.

Signs that he didn’t even leave half a good life are:

· his knowledge on stealing and preferring this over working for it

· Liking to live in weird spaces like carved out holes in sides of hills (his hobbit hole or the basement by Techno) or living in his tent over a hole house

· His liking of cobblestone and dirt, which are easy gettable blocks

· Holding his goodies and friends close to him

· Craving for attention or contact in general

And now for the part with the dream SMP.

We saw how it changed him. We saw his trauma and all the bad things that happened to him.

And that’s why we say his actions came from those past experiences and things. We are NOT excusing them, but showing. Past trauma CHANGES a person. It brings experience and a heavy amount of pain and anger. ESPECIALLY at a young age, you will change due to your experience in life. You will grow worried and anxious. Tommy did that. He grew more anxious, angry, scared and also experienced.

Stop saying trauma doesn’t explain it. Yes. It does. His lashing out came from his past and negative experience. Imagine growing up in a world where this is the norm. War and banishing. As well as death. Tommy has reasons why he is acting and does stuff.

Understand it. You don’t have to forgive him or anything. But understand it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moral and the story the character tells us

When we see Tommy, we see a boy who went nearly through it all. Mental/Physical Abuse, Abandonment, War, Suicidal thoughts, betrayal, Death, etc…

He doesn’t show forgiveness for his abuser. Still has signs, that he fights with the past abuse, but he tells us a story of learning from past mistakes, that even in the darkest hours, there’s a way out. Things will, can and be ugly and those are dark hours, but in no way should you think that it’s over. Life is more than one way and can always turn into a new direction.

Life takes something old away from you. Life gives you something new. You lose someone, you find someone new. Friends can turn into enemies. Enemies can turn into friends. You can meet the weirdest people. You can meet the most amazing people. You can be alone and in the next second, you’re not. You will often lose, but you also can win if you give everything.

Life can be weird and that’s okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Fazit (that’s german)

The thing is, he is very real for many viewers such as myself. He acts like how many teenagers his age reacts.

He doesn’t be “baby”, because he shows the “ugly” sides of trauma. He shows that attachments are good and you shouldn’t forgive your abuser. In no way. He shows that acting out and lashing out are two things that happen, when you have been in wars for many times and nearly just know that.

He has many flaws and mistakes but those make him even more real. He is showing how he is growing.

As a person, friend, (pseudo-)family.

He is real to many of the viewer since he doesn’t have any powers that are existing in our world to solve their problems. He knows that nobody would have helped him and Tubbo against Dream if he didn’t pay others.

Also that you can’t be friends with everyone and that it’s okay that not everybody likes you.

Tommy´s character is the most human and realistic character in a way of how we would react. We are humans who are lashing out and who are having ugly sides.

And also please stop saying that, since I really can relate to Tommy and I don’t want to be feeling like a “bad-written Character”…

And Don’t even get me started on Tommy’s acting dude!

He is one of the best actors and that one livestreams! In from off 200.000 – 600.000 People!

On the face cam alone is so much to see…

· You can see his face with each emotion shifting,

· when something funnily weird happens, he looks dead eyes in the camera

The voice acting…

· His breathing,

· the stuttering in his voice,

· THE GODDAMN EMOTIONS IN HIS FACE

HIS MUSIC CHOICE!

· He changes the music fitting for the situations as in fighting scenes or funny moments.

· He also has some funny bits with his music.

· Like a goddam DJ!

The ingame character

· His movements and head stares

· The jumping around when he gets overactive

· Long stops when he thinks or is sad!

You can see, I am a person from Tumblr and saw way too much bullshit around tommys character.

Stop critiquing him so badly.

You could say, I woke up and chose violence

>:D

Let You Go And Move On

Don’t forget this was the song (pls listen)

Etho was going to scream. Iskall hadn’t talked to him once since their fight in Fantastico. He would admit, what he said was a bit out of line, but sue him. His best friend told him he was leaving. He didn’t understand what it meant to be gods. There was so much to learn.

Maybe he was being selfish. Even before X lifted the ban and Iskall knew about the gods, Etho thought they would stay together somehow after college. Maybe Iskall would work close by and they would still be friends. He was stupid, yeah, that wouldn’t happen. Mortals had such short lifespans. He’d never been friends with the mortal’s he’s known.

It’s dangerous to get attached to a human, Etho. Never do it. All the gods told him. He wasn’t stupid, he was one of the oldest gods. He knows that.

But Iskall was a god like him now. It was different. Gods didn’t fight because one was going away. They didn’t stop talking because one of them said something that hurt the other. They lived too long to let every comment hurt them.

Iskall was a human originally, though. He thought like one and lived like one. He had the emotions of one. That’s what made this so complicated. Iskall couldn’t see what Etho did. But then again, Etho didn’t know what Iskall was seeing.

He got what he meant, really. Iskall wanted to be in his element, they all did. But he didn’t know. He didn’t realize what he could do with something as mole as finding treasure.

Neither had talked for days. Etho was sure he had spoken with Hbomb because that’s just what one does. He was like the college’s unofficial therapist and advice giver. Despite never taking his own advice, he dished out some wisdom every once in a while.

Iskall was at his desk. He could apologize and everything would be okay. Everything could go back to normal. He could finally go get some ramen.

But He was still going to leave. He would make mistakes because no one was there and all of their friends were here. If he didn’t stay sorry, maybe he would stick around until he did.

“I’m sorry.” Etho admitted.

Iskall turned in his chair. “Is that all?”

Etho sighed. “I’m sorry for being a bad friend. I shouldn’t have said that stuff to you.”

“Why did you though? What the hell got into you?” Iskall demanded to know.

Etho didn’t even know where to begin explaining. There was so much to talk about. Well, there wasn't actually, he just didn’t know what to say. He was horrible at social interactions. Can't he just wait a thousand years until he forgave him.

He could show him.

"Take my hand" Etho insisted.

Iskall hesitantly grabbed his friend's hand. "Is this gonna be like that scene from aladdin? I swear if you toss me out the window I'll kill you. God or not, you will die."

"First, do you forgive me?" Etho asked.

Iskall kicked his leg. "Oh my, yes, now what do-"

Iskall didn't get tossed out the window. It was much worse. His world went black and the air was sucked out of him. He hated teleportation. He never did it himself, but he was told it was much easier on your own. He didn’t want to try it out just yet. He’ll stay on his own feet.

Light came back and he sucked in crisp air. They were on top of a tall mountain. Snow was gently falling, covering the already white peaks. The area they were at was large and flat, big enough to fit a couple of the university buildings. The view was beautiful, he had never seen anything like it. It was untouched by human's, far too cold for any civilization. So why were they there.

“I was born here.” Etho said, simple and straight to the point.

Iskall shivered. “That why your hair is like that?”

Etho laughed. “Maybe. Did I tell you how I became a god?”

Iskall felt the cold drip away. He looked around. They were in the same place as before, snow was falling gently around them. But it was warm, like the side of a campfire. “No.”

“The mortals who lived here barely survived. They prayed to the gods to give them something to protect them, and sent weapons that they would kill animals with. That’s how beef was born. But there was nothing to cook the meat with. So a young girl pulled some tricks and brought it to them.”

“Humanity’s first invention was fire. It took one person to steal it from the gods for them to find something to survive. That’s how I happened. I was created because mortals needed to survive, and to do that they invented the first tool for it.”

“So, what are you trying to tell me?” Iskall asked. “What’s your point?”

“My point,” Etho poked his arm. “Is that every god is needed by humanity on different levels. Grian and Pearl are needed to run the entire world. Niki helps in certain situations. We help with innovation and creation. Creativity doesn’t exist without us.”

“We don’t have to operate on huge scales across the world. Sure, we can if we want to. X definitely does. But no one has to do anything. I'm not good at letting go, I've never forgotten anything I've created. That's why if you leave, I won't move on."

“But I want to. I want you to go with me. I want to discover new civilization and languages and species. You can help figure out what the inventions were. We can make new inventions from the past. We can do it.”

Etho tilted his head. “Do you know why the NHO exist?”

Iskall was surprised by the question. The others were a bit understandable, but where did the NHO come in. “Once again, no.”

“Gods get so caught up in their work, we can get lost in it. We need people to tell us to slow down and stop. The NHO have told each other since the beginning to stop if we went too far. Do you know what happens when we can’t stop?”

Iskall shook his head. Etho took a deep breath. “What’s something that happens when human’s are at war with too little sleep and too much time to invent and construct.”

“You mean…” Iskall started.

“Gods aren’t just destruction themselves, they let human’s create them in their own form. If a human hurts another using you, it’s your fault. That’s why we can’t go too far. If you discover the wrong think, Iskall, that’s on you.” Etho explained.

“How do I stop?” Iskall asked him. He hated hearing he could be the cause of misfortune, but he needed to know.

“That’s what we’re for. Bdubs tells me something is too dangerous. I tell Doc not to give the right tools. We hold back Beef from a fight. We make Bdubs let his hold on dreams go.” Etho made it sound so simple.

Iskall would be on his own and could be consumed by his own element. He could hurt people. Even doing the thing he loves, it could end in devastation. “How do I do that? How do I stop myself?”

“You don’t, I do.” Iskall spun his head to the side. “And if you think I go too far, you hold me back. You’re a god now, you can tell me in whatever language you want. Where was that flyer for? Peru. “So in Spanish just yell at me to stop being stupid and take a break. Simple.”

“You’re coming?” Iskall breathed. His breathe was foggy in the freezing air he couldn’t feel.

“Of course! The original plan was to get you to become a god, but everything happened and boom you were one. I didn’t want my favorite human dying. Now we don’t have to worry about that!” Etho said it so simply. He said it like it was obvious and Iskall should have seen it coming.

The mountain was steep. The first village must’ve barely survived until Etho.

He didn’t believe in fate or gods or soulmates or any imaginary stuff before this. Before a ton of gods crashed into his life and he died, he would have laughed at someone saying he would spend all of time adventuring with one. But if the old gods of fate had it written this was his path, he wouldn’t complain.

He saw a flash of memory that wasn’t his. He was sure it wasn’t one of his past lives he remembered now that he was a god. He knew it was someone, whether it be X, fate, or some other god. They were showing him the future.

He saw himself standing in front of a flat field with half dug houses sticking from the ground. All around him were archeologists working to uncover whatever was hidden beneath. Besides him was Etho, directing someone on how to use some kind of tool. It was one he invented just to help that particular excavation.

The file ended and he was back on the mountain. “Ready to go?” He nodded.

Iskall felt a tug followed by darkness. He was prepared for the black hole and loss of air this time. They were back in their dorm room, everything just as they left it.

Iskall threw a bag at him. “Let’s go then. Pack up what you want.”

“Right now?” Etho yelped, bag hitting his shoulder.

“Yep.” Iskall opened his drawers, throwing random clothes in. “You said we’re going, so we’re gonna go. Or are you backing out right away?”

Etho grinned. “You think i’m gonna let you go that easy? Who else is gonna buy me ramen at 2am.”

Iskall smirked. “There might not be any ramen where we go, maybe we should stop by Fantastico. Give them one last scare.”

“I think I can deal with you for an eternity.” Etho jokes.

“You better, you can’t get rid of me.”

Bdubs found the note a few days later, having not seen his friends in a bit. He shared it with the others, not bothering to give chase. He knew even if he went after them, he would never win that fight.

“On an adventure, be back soon.

Make them smile

It was a joke.

That’s all Fundy can think about, sitting on the stairs to the Battle Box arena, mindlessly playing with the silver coin in his paws. It was a joke. It was never supposed to be a serious thing when he asked Illumina for his MCC winners coin. Or even a thing at all, really. A funny bit to raise their spirits and to make his teammates more comfortable with each other. And yes, it was also to tease Illumina and to do justice to his own reputation as a sneak and a scammer. What can he do? He’s a fox at heart and in body!

It doesn’t very much feel like a joke now. At least not like a funny one. Fundy is just tired. Tired of grieving, tired of losing people.

First, it was Schlatt, as much as he hates to admit it.

Then it was his father, taken by his grandfather with a sword in the hand.

Quackity feels like he’s slipping away farther every day as well as the rest of their little, original cabinet.

Niki is already gone.

And now Illumina.

The stupidest thing about all of this is that he wasn’t even close to Illumina. Oh, he liked the other, sure, but they’ve teamed once in MCC, nothing more. They got to Dodgebolt and he’s still fiercely proud of that – and a small part of him is petty enough to be happy they made it instead of his father – but there was no meaningful relationship between them.

And maybe that’s the problem. There was no relationship between them. They’ve fought together and lost together in this stupid tournament but nothing else.

There’s no rational reason why Fundy is now here, sitting on these stairs and trying not to cry and in his paws lies one of the only four ever produced Pride Coins.

One of them is lost with Kreekcraft, wherever that guy ended up.

Two of them are carried proudly by Gizzy and Ryguy every MCC they participate in.

And the last one is here, in Fundy’s paws.

He’s never really understood Illumina. They weren’t friends. Hell, they rarely ever met in the first place, walking in completely different circles. Illumina was a speedrunner, renowned all around Minecraft, while Fundy was barely known in his own home server. Illumina was friends with Fruitberries and Fundy was Wilbur Soot’s son. Illumina was kind and honest and friendly and Fundy was a sneak, always out for an edge over the other person.

Illumina was dead and Fundy was alive.

Fundy takes a shaky breath and turns the coin once again.

He’d been in the Parkour Tag course when they arrived.

Scott in front, face pinched in worry. One – no, two, that wasn’t Ranboo - unknown players behind him. Hbomb at the end, looking similarly worried. They were headed straight for him.

Did his little shenanigans finally catch up to him? Was MCC and the Noxcrew sick of him breaking the games? Were they going to replace him? He can’t say he’s particularly worried if that’s actually the case. Not like it’s the first time he’s been replaced.

Also, it was funny and he would have done it again in a heartbeat.

“Fundy?” Scott asked, his accent colouring the vowels in the name.

“Yeah?” Fundy looked up and jumped off the blue platform, giving up on waiting until Sapnap got caught.

“They need to talk to you.” He nodded to the two people behind him.

Fundy had never seen them in his life. He knows many people. He knew the inhabitants of the Dream SMP (even though he wishes he didn’t), he knew people from Hermitcraft, he even knew the rulers of the empires that Scott was a part of. He did not know the two in front of him, hadn’t even heard of where they might come from and if it wasn’t Scott, painfully earnest, he might have been worried.

The taller of the two wore a pink and blue outfit that somehow didn’t end in an eye-soaring clash. Two-coloured glasses similar to Jack obscured part of his face.

The other one reminded him uncomfortably of Bad. His skin itself looked more like Ranboo, split into black and white – maybe before the betrayal, before the explosion, before a screaming match in the shattered ruins of a city they both once called home, Fundy would have told him about it – but the washed-out colour of it reminded him of the eggpire.

But there was Hbomb. Hbomb who was at the Red Banquet and as much as Fundy loathed the catmaid costume he’s currently in, he knew H at least wouldn’t put him intentionally in danger.

“Hi,” he answered, still a bit guarded. “Who are you?”

“I’m Feinberg. That’s K4,” the pink-and-blue one answered.

“They’re speedrunners,” H added, as if he could read Fundy’s mind.

Speedrunners? Fundy hadn’t had something to do with speedrunners since Dream left him at the altar. What was up with that?

“We have something for you,” Feinberg continued and put down a bag, methodically searching through it.

“Fundy,” Scott began and the tone of his voice was enough to tell Fundy he wasn’t going to like the news. “They’re Illumina’s friends.”

Illumina?

“He’s gone,” K4 said and part of Fundy’s brain decided to hang up on the strange name before the words really hit him.

“Who, Illumina?”

That doesn’t feel real. Not Illumina.

Fundy has seen death. He’s seen the slow whittling down of people before they’re completely gone. He’s seen Schlatt waste away on alcohol and power until it all ended in that cursed van. He’s watched Wilbur’s descent that finished with Philza putting a sword through him before his very eyes. He’s heard of how Tommy and Ghostbur died.

But Illumina had been happy. He’d….

“He joined the Universe,” K4 said softly and Fundy’s brain short circuited. Surely, Illumina couldn’t be dead. They’d just played MCC together!

“Before he…” Feinberg swallowed and then tried again. “Before he left, he wanted you to have this.” In his white-knuckled grip laid a simple wooden box. Fundy took it gingerly. If this was a prank, it was the worst prank setup in history.

Instead of a water bomb or something similar, a transparent little bag greeted him when he opened it. Fundy took it out curiously and Scott gasped.

“That’s the Pride Coin!”

“Yeah,” Feinberg answered, voice inexplicably soft and hard at the same time, like a blade not yet raised for attack. “He asked we’d give it to you.”

“But why me? Aren’t you his friends? Shouldn’t...I don’t know, Fruit have his coin?”

He offered it back.

Feinberg’s body went rigid. “Illumina wanted you to have it. Fruit told us. Take the fucking coin, Fundy. ”

“He never even took it out of the packaging,” Scott said softly, with something akin to grief or maybe regret shimmering in the deep blue of his eyes.

“He did. But he always put it back,” Feinberg answered. The words were clipped and just short of snapping.

Mostly on instinct, Fundy raised the bag and lets the coin fall onto his paw. “Why me?” he asked again.

Feinberg opened his mouth and Fundy expected another rebuttal, another curse but K4 was faster. “You asked for it,” they stated.

“What?” Fundy stuttered.

“Fruit told us after the last MCC that you asked him for a coin. Illumina must have remembered you wanted it.”

They left Fundy afterwards to stumble through the practice server with an MCC coin he still doesn’t know what to do with. And that’s how he ended up here on the stairs to the Battle Box practice, staring at the coin in his paws.

Illumina got two aces in Battle Box the last time they played together. Fundy can still hear the laughter and the way he’d yelled when they won.

Fundy glitched out of the map and still did nothing.

It shouldn’t be his.

It should be on Illumina’s chest, gleaming in all colours of the rainbow. Illumina won that coin. Illumina played and won and lead his team to victory, complimenting and encouraging them every step of the way. For all that Fundy will proudly embrace his own reputation of scamming and tricking people, he doesn’t like to crown himself with achievements that aren’t his own.

That’s much reserved for Wilbur, thank you very much.

It shouldn’t be his. Too pretty, too polished, still shining as if somebody just took it out of the forge. He’d just ruin it.

It shouldn’t be his. It should be with Fruitberries, with Feinberg and K4, with Pete, with… He doesn’t even know who Illumina was friends with. Really the right person to get something from a dead person he cannot even remember five people they liked.

He laughs, cold and sharp and sad and so, so tired.

“Fundy?”

It’s Hbomb. Hbomb in his stupid cat maid costume that makes Fundy want to either tear his eyes out, shout and run or start to yell in frustration.

But it’s Hbomb. Hbomb who’s close to Eret. Hbomb who lived in the castle. Hbomb who left. Hbomb who can make people laugh like no other. Hbomb who is kind and encouraging like Illumina was.

Hbomb, who is staring at him with concern all written over his too-pink face.

“Are you okay?”

Fundy snorts. He can’t help it. The question is just too funny. “Are you?” he asks back and it’s mostly a rhetorical question but the pain written all too clearly over Hbomb’s face gives him an answer he isn’t sure he actually wants.

“I don’t think anyone is right now.”

Hbomb’s words fall heavy and Fundy knows he’s right.

“It’s pretty stupid,” he admits. “I didn’t even know him.”

Hbomb startles, as if he didn’t know that. “You teamed with him in MCC, right?”

Fundy laughs. Bitterness makes his chest feel constricted. “Yeah. Not like we became best friends during it. I don’t even know why he gave me that coin.”

Hbomb raises his eyebrows which looks even more ridiculous in his getup. “You know Illumina loved that coin, right? He wouldn’t have given it to just anyone.”

“Then I really don’t know why he would have given it to me.”

Oops.

Fundy wrenches his mouth shut but it’s too late.

Did he really just confess his insecurities to Hbomb the catmaid? How did his life go off-track this badly in so little time?

Hbomb still hasn’t answered and it makes Fundy’s neck itch. He’s scared of reaching out to scratch it. He might let the coin fall.

“I don’t think you’re just anyone, Fundy,” Hbomb finally starts and he sounds more sincere than Fundy has ever heard him since El Rapids exploded for the first time. “I think you’re smart and clever and try to make people happy and Illumina saw that.”

Try to make…

Fundy chokes on those words that taste like ash in his mouth. He might have, one time, so much is true. But he said “If I can’t make people smile, I will make them cry” and he meant every word.

But…

“You think he believed in me?” Fundy asks and he suddenly feels very small and vulnerable. There’s been nobody who believed him since his mom died.

“Yes.” Hbomb doesn’t meet his eyes though, instead staring at the Battle Box arena. “And I do too, Fundy.”

It should taste like broken dreams and lost hope on Fundy’s tongue. He should choke on those words, seeing them as the empty promise they are. He should be smart enough to not believe in them, to disregard them as easily as he used to do with his father’s love.

He should be cleverer, smarter, stronger.

Instead, he turns the coin once again.

“I’ve been bad at making people happy lately,” he admits.

“I think we all have been.” Hbomb laughs, sad and bitter. “But this MCC, Fundy. We don’t have to be.”

And Fundy stares at the fake silver the coin is made of, nothing more than scrap. Worthless.

But there is the Battle Box arena at his back. There is laughter echoing in his ears. There is the warmth of camaraderie. There is celebration. There are victory cheers. There is joy in its rarest, most pure form. All of that might be lost on the Dream SMP but it doesn’t have to be that way here.

And maybe that piece of silver scrap can mean something again.

“Thank you, H,” he says and he means every word. A genuine smile creeps on his lips. “I think I understand now.”

He jumps to his feet, suddenly revitalized. Still, the grief for Illumina clings to his fur, making it heavier and makes the air smell like tragedy but it’s bearable now. As if somebody was at his side, helping him to carry the weight of that loss.

He needs to go practice.

And when Fundy gets third individual next MCC and wins Dodgebolt, the Pride Coin shines proudly on his chest right next to the one from MCC 6. And if Fundy silently dedicates the last shot in the reverse sweep to Illumina, nobody needs to know that. Just as nobody needs to hear the Universe whispering into Fundy’s ears the next time he beats the ender dragon and jumps into the end portal.

You are stronger than you know.

Well done Fundy.

#itsfundy #illumina1337 #mcc #nare writes #the thrilling saga of why you will cry about mcc coins continues #oh wait i forgot hbomb94 #rip me #this is technically a dsmp fic #despite being 90% speedrunner bullshit (affectionate)

I love c!Tommy, he’s great but y’all gotta stop acting like everything he does is excused because he’s young. None of the characters on the SMP are his parents and while the adults have acted like assholes at points, none of them are responsible for helping c!Tommy to mature. I love that c!Sam and c!Puffy are kind enough to help him with that but its not any of characters responsibility to parent him.

I’ve seen a lot of posts saying things like “why can’t the other adults be like Puffy? When Tommy attempted to steal her expensive pickaxe, she just promised to make him a new one. Why can’t others be as patient?” And like its objectively wrong for c!Tommy to attempt to steal her netherite pickaxe... She shouldn’t have to promise to make him one, spending time and materials, for free to get her possessions back, possessions that she lent c!Tommy with the explicit intent of having it given back. It’s very nice of c!Puffy to offer to make him his own pickaxe but she is not required to do that, no other characters should be required to go out of their way like that to be considered a good person, and c!Tommy would have been in the wrong if he actually stole the pick. He is 16, almost 17, he’s way past old enough to know that is wrong.

C!Tommy has done legitimately wrong things and while he has faced consequences for most of them, that still doesn’t excuse him and it doesn’t mean the victims of it have to forgive him. Killing c!Jack Manifold is one example. He’s only 2 years older and he was killed in the middle of trying to show c!Tommy kindness. He also didn’t get an actual apology for losing all of his items and it cost him a canon life. I understand c!Tommy wasn’t in a good place at the time, but that was still an incredibly fucked up thing for him to do.

Now of course c!Tommy doesn’t deserve to be killed for these things but it gets so annoying seeing people write off the trauma that others have faced just because they like c!Tommy. Yes he has gone through a lot and he is still relatively young, but most characters on the SMP are relatively young as well and you don’t magically turn mature and rational as soon as you hit 18. C!Niki is 19, she’s still pretty young and she’s in the wrong for trying to kill c!Tommy, however she has been through so much trauma as well, has been dismissed and forgotten through most of it (shown by her convo with Jack after Doomsday), and is dealing with it unhealthily. Yet, I barely see any sympathy for her and what she’s dealt with. She’s wrong but that’s literally the point of her arc, it’s a villain arc, SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE WRONG!!! THAT’S THE POINT!

With the exclusion of c!Tommy’s actual villians (those being Dream, season 1 Eret, season 1 Wilbur, season 2-3 Niki, season 2-3 Jack, season 3 Bad, and Technoblade [from c!Tommy’s point of view and I guess for the terrorism]) none of the adults have any true responsibility to care for c!Tommy or help him mature. Are they assholes for it most times? Yes. Can they can be seen as in the wrong for doing things like not helping c!Tommy while he was in exile or assuming he blew up the community house without evidence? Definitely. But none of them have any real responsibility to help him mature. They are not obligated to forgive him when he does things like take down their house for no reason (Connor), tries to steal from them for reasons other than survival (Puffy and Techno at some points), steal from them without even knowing it’s them because characters apparently don’t care enough about them to know where they live (Hbomb), mug them for scaring him (Foolish), or kill them for scaring him (Jack Manifold). (Torturing Fundy and taking Connor hostage could also be added to the list though he was definitely influenced by Techno.) Those are all pretty objectively wrong things. No one is obligated to forgive you if you wrong them, even if it’s because of trauma.

(Also another thing could be c!Tommy joining the people that tried to execute c!Techno without a trial but that might just be the slight c!Techno and c!Phil apologist in me jumping out so I’m not adding it to the list because it could definitely be argued)

Anyway this is long and it’s not super structured I just have a lot of thoughts about how the fandom treats c!Tommy and I wanted to add my opinion. He deserves to be safe and happy but I don’t think other characters are in the wrong for disliking him based on the things he’s done wrong. And I only added the things he has actually done because for things like the community house being blown up or c!Tommy leaving c!Techno, with the information characters are given, it’s natural for them to oppose c!Tommy because they don’t have all the facts. If c!Jack Manifold knew what c!Tommy went through in exile and he actually got a real apology, I don’t think he’d be trying to kill c!Tommy. But from c!Jack Manifold’s point of view, c!Tommy causes problems, doesn’t face the consequences as bad as the rest of them do, and doesn’t feel bad about it or apologize. I just think some people should re-evaluate their stance on certain characters in regards to how they relate to c!Tommy and be more sympathetic to certain situations.

#just my opinions #I didn’t spend a lot of time structuring this so if it’s messy or doesn’t make sense in some places I’m sorry #if you have any questions #or think you have a rebuttal against my points #please let me know #I’d love to talk about it more #and I’ve seen a lot of posts from Tommy’s point of view already but there might be something that would convince me I’m wrong on something #so if you think I got something wrong I’m willing to discuss #but I’ve been thinking of these things for a long time and I decided to put them into a post #dream smp #mcyt #mctblr #dream smp puffy #dream smp Niki #niki nihachu #nihachu #jack manifold #captain puffy #Technoblade #dream smp techno #dream smp Technoblade #dream smp dream #dreamwastaken #kind of negative maybe #/dreamsmpnegativity #/negative #/roleplay #/negativity #/fandomnegativity #mango speaks sometimes

Also as for more on the whole 'dteam should understand their power thing' again, blaming a cc for their fanbase is shitty. Peopel were already screaming at scott and h bomb LONG before Sapnap said anything, and were going to do so anyways even if he didnt. Sapnap made a lighthearted comment, and even if it wasn't, people are allow to be upset when they lose!! its not like he personally attacked them, & he never wanted hate sent to the others. Its the fans faults, not the ccs.

While one person cannot control the entirety of their fanbase, they CAN help fight against the toxicity. They should've fucking banned and muted the people in Hbomb and Scotts chat from interacting with their account.

They should've defended their FRIENDS

They should've understood that they have influence over the opinions of their fans and the impact of, IN ANY TONE OR INTENTION, calling people a cheater, when the tensions are already high.

Its fucking pathetic to sit and say "a person has zero control or influence over their fanbase" because they do. They cannot control their actions or when they fuck up, but they CAN punish and influence better behavior.

It is absolutely free to say "no my friends didn't cheat" ! and they simply didnt do the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM

he can be upset that he lost but he also should be aware of what his words have on the fanbase and talked about that privately.

This is the fans fault, yes, but dont act as if the CCs have no blame.

#they can hire a staff of fifty fucking moderators if they wanted to and weed-out the users saying and doing shit and block them on twitch.#but they simply do not.#while that wouldn't solve the problem what are they doing in the SLIGHTEST to try and correct their fans behavior?#again. i am a fan. ive been a fan since last june.#discourse #mcyt discourse #negativity #dream discourse #mika-posts

OKAY okay but SW au, does Palpatine exist in this au (or Palpatine equivalent) and if so, does Tubbo and the gang butt heads with them? Or consider order 66 where Tommy survives and becomes more of a dark sider, or at least a grey Jedi, and finally joins with Tubbo and they take down Palpatine (or Palpatine equivalent)

They do just take the power for themselves, but they end up being much better than that other guy. Consider them giving the head of state title to Eret (because king shit), so they can have their own free time but have someone in their control in charge.

Darth Horrad thinks that he and his apprentice Darth Farious are the only Sith in the galaxy. It’s a reasonable conclusion; the Rule of Two has been in place for millennia. Darth Horrad’s current world domination scheme is especially insidious, of which he is quite proud; he’s mass-produced a wide array of genetically modified beings, all of which are footsoldiers of the Jedi in the war against the Hutts. (Of course, the Hutts are also under Darth Horrad’s control. Oh, how he loves playing the field!)

Darth Farious sweeps into Darth Horrad’s chambers. “My lord,” she says as she kneels, “you sent for me?”

“Yeees...” Darth Horrad drawls. “It is time.”

Darth Farious gasps. “You don’t mean--”

“I do,” says Darth Horrad. “Execute Order Sixty-Nine.”

---

“Master,” Eret gasps, skidding into Dlar’s Sunnyside Cafe. Tubbo and his guardian Philza are having a nice brunch. “Master, the Jedi temple on Coruscant is being attacked!”

Tubbo frowns thunderously, standing up so quickly that his chair topples. “I’ve got to go. Sorry, Philza, I’ll explain later.”

“Fuck ‘em up,” Philza says idly, sipping his tea.

Tubbo grins savagely, more a baring of teeth than a smile. “Oh, I will. I most certainly will.”

---

The moment Tubbo and Eret are outside the cafe, Tubbo pulls out his datapad and comms his two other apprentices.

“Yes, Master?” Hbomb asks at the same time Schlatt hisses, “I’m in a meeting!”

“Hbomb.” The seriousness in Tubbo’s voice causes everyone to straighten up. “You’re near Coruscant, aren’t you? The Jedi temple is under attack. Eret, give him the details.”

“Yessir,” Eret nods. “Darth Horrad made his move earlier than anticipated. His army of modded-beings is slaughtering the Jedi as we speak. The younglings are deep in the inner sanctum, and the padawans aren’t far off, but every on-planet Knight and Master is fighting or healing the wounded.”

Hbomb chews on his lip, sharp lucidity in his eyes in a way that’s usually intentionally covered up by a haze of mischeviousness. “You know I have an in with the Kaminoans-- are they the ones that modified Darth Horrad’s army?”

“Remember when I told you to throw your influence around to get the ‘special code’ from their ‘secretest project’?”

“Yeah, the guy I asked just about pissed himself,” Hbomb laughs.

“That’s the stand-down code,” Tubbo says. “Use it.”

“Got it,” Hbomb says, and goes to hang up. He’s stopped by a waved hand on Tubbo’s part.

“I don’t give a fuck about the Jedi,” Tubbo says coldly, “but I do give a fuck about Tommy, and if you let him get killed...”

A feeling like cold water runs down everyone’s spine at the Dark radiating from Tubbo. He would never threaten his apprentices with grievous harm, but the sentiment he’s sending through the Force completes his statement.

If you let him get killed, I’ll kill you.

“U-understood,” Hbomb says, and hurries to shut off his connection and get to work.

Tubbo turns his commanding gaze to the tiny hologram of his other apprentice. “Schlatt, you’ll be setting up a refuge for Force-sensitives, especially former Jedi. Spin it however you like-- charity, a PR play, tax evasion, whatever-- but I want this ready to go as soon as the dust settles. Now get back to your meeting.”

Schlatt nods, and hangs up without dismissal.

“And me, Master?” Eret asks.

Tubbo smiles. “You did well, informing me as quickly as you did. Thank you. You’ll be coming with me.” Tubbo starts walking to the parking lot, examining ships and deciding which one’s fast enough for him to bother hotwiring.

Eret speeds up to catch up to the teenage dark lord, who’s currently breaking into someone’s spaceship. “Where are we going?”

“I hope you’ve been practicing with your lightsaber,” Tubbo says, “because we’re going to annihilate Horrad. Not only him, but everything he stands for, everything he’s ever so much as touched. It’ll all be rubble beneath our heels.”

Eret hops into the passenger seat as Tubbo straps himself into the driver’s side. “Well,” Eret says with a grin,” I guess it’s a good thing I wore my stilettos, then.”

-puts more angst on the plate that is this fic- have fun~!

@petrichormeraki “Oh myan oh myan oh myan!” Crumb wiggled her stubby cat legs as she held onto Tubbo, her smaller form going unnoticed by their avian captor. “Where’s he takin’ us?”

“I d-don’t know.” Tubbo replied, trying not to sound as scared as he felt. “I o-only came here recently. T-Tommy’s the one that knows everything.”

“Well, Sprinklez will definitely find us and and he’s gonna slay dis beast!”

“What?! No! He can’t do that! That’s Tommy’s brother! There’s just something wrong with him. Tommy used seeds last time so we need those.”

“Okee okee okee, I’ll look for seeds when we land.”

“Thanks Crumb.” The two were otherwise silent as Grian continued to fly, but then they both noticed as he seemed to sway in the air, his flight no longer steady. “Um, Grian? Grian? What was the other name? Xelqua? I know Tommy’s been calling you Big G, even though it feels like he’s- woah!”

Grian’s flying straightened out and then his face appeared as he looked down at Tubbo. Tubbo froze, there were feathers all over the place and even more eyes than before. While they were mainly purple, his two original eyes were now a more reddish hue.

Tubbo could feel Crumb shift on their back, thankfully out of sight. There seemed to be a little whimper their ears picked up, but it didn’t seem Grian heard the same, or just assumed it was Tubbo.

Grian looked back up and with him no longer blocking the view, Tubbo could see Grian’s mansion getting closer. His old hope was that maybe Tommy was there.

Grian landed on the roof of the place, dropping Tubbo and making Crumb roll on the ground. He spotted her instantly and immediately grabbed her instead. “No! Leave her alone!” Tubbo shouted, but he didn’t listen. The teen could only watch as a portal of bedrock and obsidian appeared. Magic that matched Grian’s eyes appeared in the frame as it was lit and then Crumb was tossed into the portal.

Crumb screamed as she was thrown through, scared about what would happen and what would be on the other side. She seemed to be falling for an eternity and was scared about what would happen when she finally hit the ground. She thought about making sure she was really a cat to try and mitigate it, but then realized a more obvious answer would be a bird.

Not wanting to become a parrot after everything that just happened. Crumb shifted into a chicken. She spread her little white wings and her descent slowed, allowing her to finally get a look at her surroundings. Based on the chill of the air and the darkness of the world around her, it looked like the void. Crumb looked around, hoping to see the creamy yellow color of endstone, but there was none to be seen.

“What’s a chicken doing here?” Someone spoke up and Crumb started looking around. Beside her, also falling, was a man in a bee suit.

“Dat’s one big bee!” Crumb said, shocked, surprising the bee man as well.

“Oh, you must have been one of the visitors. I was told there would be a shapeshifter.”

Crumb nodded and then shifted to her cat hybrid form. “Ye, I’m Crumb. I came here wit my dad Sprinklez. Are we in da void?”

“Not quite. I’m not sure where we are. If it were the normal void I could easily get us out of here, but that’s not the case.”

“Aww, well, I was wit my new friend Tubbox and den a big harpy lookin’ guy attacked us and apparently he was my other new friend Tommy’s brudder.”

“So that was Grian. I wasn’t completely sure it had been so fast. I tried contacting the other Hermits but my communicator isn’t working and I can’t even reach my admin panels.”

“Oh dat’s not good.”

“No it is not.”

Tubbo tried to run to the portal, but was stopped by Grian. “Bring her back! She’s my friend! Tommy’s too!”

But Grian just stared as he tried, getting in their way. Tommy didn’t say anything about a cat friend, right? No, he didn’t. It was just Tubbo, and now Tubbo was going to be safe. Tubbo will go in the nest and stay there while he gets rid of everyone else. Grian dragged Tubbo over to the window near the nest and started to break the blocks to get in. Halfway through, he noticed the nest was very empty.

Someone took them, a voice shouted. Or killed them came another. They may have just gone looking. Or are hiding. They’ll come back for a Tubbo, right? Right. Grian liked how helpful the voices were being. He plopped Tubbo down in the nest.

“Let go of me! And bring Crumb back! She’s our friend!”

“Bring. Back. Friend.” Grian parroted. “Bring back friend.”

“Yes!” Tubbo pleaded. “Yes make another portal to bring Crumb back. Her dad will be so worried if she’s gone again.”

“꘠႑𑁦᠑෦१߀០ ⓿೧꣠༠፩⓵១୧ ႐Ⅰ㍘〇¹႞٠१ ႐Ⅰ㍘〇¹႞٠१ 𝟘᧚༳᧑➊০౸፩” Grian spoke in a language Tubbo had never heard and could barely comprehend. He covered his ears only to find them slightly wet and pulled a hand back to see blood come back, though it was turning a purplish hue. That freaked Tubbo out and he scrambled away, trying to find an escape from the roof that wouldn’t kill them.

But before he could go far, Grian grabbed him again and when their eyes opened again, he was in what seemed to be a large nest. “Uh… h-huh… guess that makes s-sense for a bird. Avian. Harpy? W-whatever you are right now.”

He’s scared of you. He should be. But he’s Tommy’s friend. Tommy asked you to keep him safe. Why is it purple. Duh, because of the Watchers. But he’s not one, right? But it happened because of Grian. He’s still bleeding though.

Grian looked closer at Tubbo, they were right, he was bleeding. But no, it couldn’t have happened because of him. It had to have been that outsider. One of the ones causing problems. Just like Xisuma had been. But now they were both gone. Now he just needed Mumbo and Tommy and his children here too. And then he could get rid of everyone else that shouldn’t be here.

Grian left Tubbo in the nest as he flew back into the air, using Watcher magic to take him elsewhere in the world.

Philza woke up to someone shaking him violently, it made his eyes snap open and look around to see iron bars surrounding him. He planned to look around more for a way out but a giant white mask with a smile on it was peering at him, shocking him and making him squawk. It was then he realized he was currently in his raven form, and there was no way he could shift back while in what was most likely a bird cage.

“Took you long enough to wake up.” Dream spoke to him. They were both outside, which shouldn’t have been possible with the former admin in the vault. “I suppose rest was needed after your fight.” Phil couldn’t remember any fight. “I had no idea Grian was your son. I guess it makes sense with his achievements, even if you abandoned him for most of his life.” Philza crowed, trying to argue with Dream, managing a ‘fuck you’ with his mimicry skills as a raven. But the cage just got rattled around again.

“Tommy doesn’t belong in a place like that. He belongs here. Watchers are dangerous beings Philza. You leaving him there is practically a death sentence. It would be best if you went over there and brought him back along with anyone else that’s over there.” Philza tried to argue, but he suddenly had a dizzy spell. “People like me don’t just become admins. We have to jump through hoop after hoop. I may not be an admin anymore, but I’m not powerless. You have two options here. Bring Tommy back, or don’t and I bring him back myself. And I won’t be as kind as you might be to him.”

Philza wanted to argue, but if Dream could do this, there’s no telling what could happen to Tommy now that it was obvious this man wasn’t playing nice anymore. He bowed his head in defeat and the next moment the cage was opened and he was dropped out of it. “Now don’t take too long, or I’ll assume you’ve betrayed me, and it’ll be even worse for the two of you.” Dream threatened, and Philza nodded before flying to the infinity portal.

Grian looked down at his friend defending the enemy. Is he really your friend anymore if he’s doing that? Maybe they were more friends with Xisuma than you. He was gone for three months, why wouldn’t he change sides for that. “Grian, you need to calm down. We can’t find Xisuma right now, so if you-”

“Can’t find Xisuma. Right now. Down.” Behind Iskall, Hbomb pulled out an axe, ready to fight Grian. Reluctantly Iskall pulled out a weapon of their own, not completely willing to fight their friend, especially since they had some trouble when all the hermits had been there.

The moment H took a step, Grian attacked, and Iskall barely had time to react and attempt to get between the two. Their shield was held up, but there was enough force from Grian’s attack that Iskall felt themself be pushed back until they collided with Hbomb. There was what sounded like a portal behind them and Iskall spawn a glimpse of what looked like bedrock before they were falling.

Grian watched the portal disappear, a pang of guilt hitting him. He didn’t want to get rid of Iskall, but he had to. People like that weren’t supposed to be here. They needed to go into the portal-pit. Tools in the portal. Gear in the pit. Enemies in the portal-pit. Yes. It was all very logical. Right?

It's really awkward telling people that I am a huge fan of Mcyt content cuz they automatically assume I am a dream fan when that can't be further from the truth.

Hate isn't exactly the word for it but I do heavily dislike dream, not even just C!dream but cc! Dream.

It's a really shit toptic to get into as well since I don't wanna come off as a hypocrite because of the fact that I enjoy things like the dream smp and am even writing about it, idk.

I never clicked with dreams content nor his personality but I always kept a neutral opinion about him and it wasn't until some of the more recent drama that I have been having a harder time listening to his voice without feeling a sense of distaste, things like the whole cheating scandal, the shit him and sapnap pulled on Hbomb during the last MCC, and the whole Jawsh thing that happened a while ago made me see him in a really negative light.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the Dream smp as much as the next person, I had even been planning The Dream SMP: Rewritten series all the way back in January of 2021 but I retired the early version of the series due to me realizing all of this and the old papers and documents of the old version of the series are either thrown away or lost. It's also not even just dream, it's others like sapnap who I've been disliking more and more as time goes on but I digress.

Its an issue I've been facing as of late, because at the same time I really don't want to be seen as a hypocrite for making the serie when I myself don't support some of the content creators behind the OG thing, but at the same time I also am really proud of the concepts and have been planning this for a while.

I Know it's all a matter of separating creator from content but it's hard since they are apart of the content and are the face of it.

Idk, what are your thoughts?

This all can be seen as a hot take since I know many people here might be fans of dream or sapnap but personally, I never clicked well with either and a few others and after seeing how they act towards others and have the audacity to claim they are a "team sport" makes me sick to even listen to them anymore.

oof i don't have a lot of opinions on this because i barely know about most of dream's controversies except the hasan one bc i was watching hasan that day- but i mean. you're valid to feel however you're feeling, yk? i believe we all have the right to like or dislike anything and anyone as long as we don't hurt others because of it.

i do enjoy sapnap quite a bit tho <//3 but i tend to like his content more when it's with people like quackity or karl. ye

personally i don't really enjoy dream as cc? not because i genuinely dislike him, just because his content is not the type i usually go after. i don't have a lot against the guy tho.

this could be a nice discussion tho so, even tho i have nothing else to add bc i don't have a lot of feelings on this matter, if anyone wants to say something else about it feel free to and all that!!! :]]

send me a hot take!!!

This is going to sound really stupid but I cannot for the life of me guess who’s popular in MCYT.

Exhibit A: I genuinely, genuinely thought Grian was the least popular member of Hermitcraft because he was new to the server. I thought I didn’t know the other extremely cool and talented hermits because I was stupid and Not Cool and still somehow following this random rustic house channel from 2017. This is so funny because Grian’s literally the fan favourite. I could NOT be more wrong.

Exhibit B: I LEGIT THOUGHT THE HERMITS WERE POPULAR IN MCC??? Like in the GoodTimes of early Season 7, Hermitcraft was super mainstream, you could see Hermitcraft memes outside of Hermitcraft, there were Hermitcraft jokes/references in Minecraft/YouTube videos. And then there was the whole Mumbo for Mayor feat. James Charles fiasco. So I thought all of the hermits were getting really popular. A little bit after that, MCC happened, and I remember looking at the players and knowing no one except for the hermits, Pearl (because friend of the hermits) and Technoblade (because he’s the PvP king). (Yes, I was/am extremely ignorant about modern MCYT.) I assumed the hermits in MCC would be pretty damn popular because they have their own fans and Hermitcraft fans. And Hermitcraft was popular so the hermits would be popular, right? And I knew Grian is in MCC and Grian is SUUUUPER popular, right? So if he plays, he’ll be one of the most watched streams, right? I literally thought Grian and Mumbo were the two most popular MCYT in our year 2020 (YES, MY BRAIN LIVES IN 2016/17 BAHXJAJDJSJ).

And then MCC9 happened.

As a hermitfan (and eventual Hbomb and Fruit fan btw I’m sorry I discovered them so late and I’m so glad I’ve been introduced to them), I was ECSTATIC. Hermitcraft community was RIOTING. Grian’s three kills in Survival Games trended in the hermitcraft tumblr tag for like a month. But then the most trending posts in the MCC tags weren’t about the winning team? (Like if I scroll down I would find a lot of posts about them, but still the top fifteen posts were about... Dream Team or smth. Idek.) And I was genuinely confused? Blue Bats won against all odds? Even if you don’t know anyone on the team, it would be common courtesy to acknowledge their unlikely victory? I thought the winning team would be trending after every MCC. I know Ren/False aren’t the most popular of hermits so I was kinda clinging onto The Supposedly Massively Popular Grian to make a splash, which he did, resulting in the Dreamslayer memes. But still... Grian wasn’t as popular as I thought. And that made me think: wait, if even Grian, Mr. Supposedly Massively Popular barely makes it to trending, then... what about the other hermits?

It was then I realised hermits started to get real attention from MCC9. Prior to MCC9, I wasn’t invested in MCC at all and just really adored hermit content. And apparently from Frostbyte Freeman’s “How the Blue Bats Won MCC9” video, the hermits were looked down as points to be grabbed.

So apparently the hermits were Not That Popular After All. That’s not to say they’re “underrated” or being “slept on” or “they don’t have fans”. Hermits have a gigantic and loyal fan base, and they’re definitely getting a lot of attention now, I just didn’t expect Dream SMP to be so massively popular lol. (Dream absolutely slayed the YouTube algorithm. Legend.) I legit didn’t know they existed until people starting simping for them on Instagram. Oh well I’m stupid.

To conclude I have extremely bad judgement and awareness of whatever’s going on in MCYT and do NOT ask me who’s popular in MCYT because I thought Grian and Mumbo were the most popular in 2020 I’m so ashamed of myself bye—

#ria.txt #I’m so embarrassed #mcyt #dream smp I am sorry #my mind is just hehehe grian mumbo 2017 go brrr #my grian ass thought grian was the least popular #anyways I am wrong about everything lmao
