And With Your Help It Can Rack Up 700k Notes On Tumblr In 2024

qsmp has accidentally stumbled into a psychology experiment that would make the stanford prison experiment sob in fear. they’ve gotten a bunch of cc’s, and tens of thousands of viewers, to be deeply emotionally connected to pixel eggs. in doing so they’ve presented a problem:

how the fuck do you get outta this

the eggs were obviously never intended to be permanent (logging on every day to do tasks isn’t feasible to upkeep forever) and they were even given a vague limit of When Mama Dragon Comes Back (and then, of course, the “6 days til they die” thing). now you’ve made it so quackity (and his team) have a big ol dilemma, where two things are true: 1) they can’t keep the eggs forever since it’s not sustainable 2) you can’t take away the eggs without, oopsies, emotionally damaging your friends that you invited to have fun on your server.

turns out, when you give a group of humans all their own fully-realized individual who presents as a (weak, vulnerable) child that is in need of care from them, whatever instinct has kept us alive for generations goes “!!!!!” which is both really cool and compassionate, but also kinda concerning!

because, well: not sustainable! and if the eggs aren’t sustainable, what’s the alternative? killing them?? no! just look at jaiden’s reaction to bobby “losing” a life, even when it wasn’t his last one. or bad’s genuinely heart wrenching reaction to dapper losing a life. or how quiet and angry phil got after chayanne and tallulah had a “nightmare,” before it was resolved. that’s not acting. that’s real. what the hell will they do if the eggs actually die? from what i see, the cc’s are taking the “6 days til death” thing as something that’s avoidable. a threat that can be overcome. and for their sake, i hope it is.

ever played a dnd game where you actually feel insulted bc of smth someone’s pc did? yeah. that x20 because there’s SO much overlap between “streamer persona” and “literally just who they are”. and this level of roleplay character bleeding is cool, but i hope the eggs are handled carefully, or all those involved might end up actually hurt.

there’s also the whole added element of fans, many of whom only tune into the streams for egg content. the plot is very egg-centric. the roleplaying and characterization that the cc’s are doing is all centered around the eggs in one way or another. it’s been going on for a month, but it does not feel at all resolved, and plot-wise it would completely mess up so many plot threads happening if the eggs were all to go (charlie’s unresolved deal with lil j, quackity’s goal to bond with tallulah, the trial, etc etc) so if you take away the eggs, you risk messing up the whole vibe they’ve got going on, and facing backlash from fans who are also emotionally compromised by pixel eggs

we inherently want to protect the cute and vulnerable, and by god are these eggs cute and so very fragile. (then, there’s another layer of people’s own issues that they project onto the eggs. be it desire for paternity, some kind of maternal instinct, or, even in the matter of chayanne, using chayanne as a sort of way to cope with loss by making connections between chayanne and technoblade. which is beautiful and very sweet but would give chayanne dying some additional emotionally charged elements which i think should be avoided at all costs). there’s a reason that movies and other media generally do not kill named children characters—audiences really hate it. it’s taboo for good reason.

which leads us to

schrodinger’s egg: until sunday, they r both alive and dead. and this is both good and bad. god help us all

I swear I animate slightly better than this- this one was rushed ToT

I love this audio so much- I had to merge my two favorite things together hehe

I can so vividly picture Hama screaming "DID YOU POINT!?!?"

Things cis people in my town have actually said to me

DINNER SUMMARY FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS IT:

earlier, most people got ready for the dinner (philza and etoiles literally got DECKED and ready for war, basically, both were sure it would be a trap)

quackity went to maxo and asked him to give him the names of those that caused the explosion that made him lose a candidate life or he would "make his life a living hell"

they went to the dinner, and waited to get served the food and suddenly "chayanne" and "tallulah" showed up

philza immediately clocked that they were not acting normally, and they had wrong skins (they were not cracked) and he even went back to check and their beds were back home, so he knew it wasnt the real ones. he let fit and forever know.

the candidates stepped up one by one to give their last speeches, and ElQuackity went last, suddenly goign off about "Fuck the Federation" and "if im elected the federation will end" which is super out of nowhere so. kinda sus.

all the candidates were asked to go to the stage to take group pictures, and "chayanne" and "tallulah" went in there too

Suddenly Philza was kicked from the server, the fake chayanne and tallula turned into code monsters and they started attacking the candidates

the attendees started being teleported around, and it took a while for philza to log back in, and everyone was panicking because they didnt know if it was the real chayanne or tallulah, and since phil wasnt there he couldnt confirm to them it wasnt the real eggs

they started to stall the codes from killing candidates, but slime/gegg lost his last candidate life

philza managed to get back in, and started screaming those arent his eggs and to kill the codes

him and etoiles basically had to duo pvp the two codes, and finally managed to kill them after a few minutes, it was tense as FUCK

the bodies of the codes had each a single item of the egg they were trying to pretend to be (tallulah had a maraca, chayanne the yellow signs), as well as a bunch of pictures of the parents with some eggs, but all of them were blurry/bad quality except for the one of tallulah and quackity that walter bob took, and a picture of philza, tallulah and chayanne that wsa taken in festa junina

everyone started to go on their own ways, ElQuackity and Maxo had an entire confrontation about if ElQ was from the federation and then maxo refused to tell him who caused the explosion besides himself. They fought eachother for a while, and then ElQ teleported away and disconnected.

foolish got called by the federation, and he got told to arrest pac and mike because "they had kidnapped mr mustard"

pac and mike went with him and they got teleported into seperate jail cells

cellbit interrogated foolish about it, since jaiden and forever saw pac and mike disappear, and afterwards he went back to his castle, where he got a book that told him to go to coordinates 0 0, where he and roier found a picture that eventually led to a page with the following information

jaiden spoke to foolish, and he lied to her, and told her that cucurucho had given him the option to either arrest pac and mike OR kill richarlyson. this did not happen. jaiden went back to cellbit and roier and gave them this information, so for now, foolish is out of suspicion from cellbit.

cellbit decoded that the "LAST SEEN AT" letters probably mean coordinates (67, 6393) and he's planning on going there with roier to see if they know what this missing item or creature might be

----------------------- Edit about two hours later (yes, im still here. it's 5 am for me. what has this server done to me)

cellbit and roier went to the coordinates, there he found a new book with more information, and two sudoku puzzles that together gave him the code to a locked chest. in the chest he found a brown sharestone that took him to a new location where after a few more enigma enrichment gave him a new book that indicates that "something is going on" and that "whatever hope you have left will die along with you"

maximus explained to badboyhalo what happened with elquackity and the threats that he did to him. this led to bad saying the need to capture elquackity and lock him up -he also implied that he knows how to stop him from teleporting- and if needed interrogate him by any means necessary to get information about where real quackity is and what is going on with him

bad's trust in anyone is basically non-existent after what happened with foolish helping the federation to get pac and mike. my landduo heart is shattered.

hunger hurts

PRESIDENT WINS AWARD FOR WORST MARRIAGE PROPOSAL KNOWN TO MAN

MORE AT 8

That's how Bags sounded like in the talent show yesterday

quick doodle :P

Obssesed with figuring out how the eggs feel about eachother based on the times we can see them interact by themselves in the background.

• Tallulah and Chayanne the absolute beloveds. They are 100% eachothers favorite, no questions asked. So many gifts and lil inside jokes and playing together. Chayanne will destroy an entire army for her and Tallulah is all flowers and sunshine until someone threatens him and then she is the "hold my flower" meme.

• Bobby and Tilín were like those kids who you see fighting in the park, but 10 minutes later they are acting like they are the best of friends in the world. (And then 10 minutes later they are fighting again.)

• Ramon and Chayanne, the ultimate adrenaline bros. Climbing stuff to do water bucket clutches and going into dungeons and running ahead to kill stuff. Very rough and tumble kind of kids.

• Ramon, Dapper and Chayanne aka Tantrum Trio aka Tallulah Protection Squad aka The Quackity Haters.

• The only way Bobby can interact with the other eggs is by being The Most Annoying. A physical representation of "oh, you little shit".

• JuanaFlippa and Tilin. Best friends gone too soon. Fighting tooth and nail in their respective afterlives to find eachother.

• Most recently, Tallulah and Richarlyson. Tallulah is very much enjoying the "IM NOT THE YOUNGEST ANYMORE :0!" life. Took him under her musical wing and is very happy to have someone who she can teach stuff to.

• Bobby and Richarlyson, annoyance at first sight, will beat eachother up if given the chance.

• And they all side eye Gegg.

Very much missing out on stuff from other POVs but what little I have makes my heart all fuzzy, these kids are so freaking cute.
