I’m Still Here from Treasure Planet is absolutely an anthem to kids w/ learning disorders & abandonment issues

“what am I without you?” “Yourself” is such a raw gut wrenching exchange and it came from a minecraft roleplay which goes to show the medium doesn’t matter and stories can be good no matter what when the writer(s) have the passion and heart for it
The first place Wilbur visits after his resurrection is L’Manburg. He thinks the crater, which dips to scrape the center of the earth, might be a bit overkill. But he can’t be one to judge. There are a few places where smoke still rises in catastrophic curls. There’s a lot of debris left unsalvaged.
They’ve given up on this place, all of them, and Wilbur has no right to feel bitter about that.
The second place Wilbur goes is the ravine, all shadowed and haunted, like a closed-down museum. When he sees the buttons still fastened in hundreds to the walls, he laughs. When he first saw those buttons, he honestly thought they were hallucinations. A manifestation of his guilty conscience forcing him to reckon with his pre-made decision. Tommy had asked about them too, he supposed, but Tommy was lying to him back then. Or – he wasn’t.
Death has given Wilbur some perspective, but it’s still hard to get a grasp on the last few months of his first life.
“Is it just like you remember?”
Wilbur turns and sees Tommy climbing carefully down the crumbling stairway. “Don’t fall,” he says on instinct.
Tommy flashes him a look. Soon, they’re standing across from each other. Tommy’s grown taller since Wilbur’s last seen him. They’re almost the same height. But if Wilbur looks hard enough, he can still see the frightened boy from a few months ago, still hear his own hollow-point words.
You’re scared, Tommy.
What is Wilbur supposed to say to him now?

do yall ever just sit back and think about how special the exile arc (from tommy’s pov) was? like it just hit me today, i really don’t think i’ve seen anything quite like it in rp, especially in regards to how tommy incorporated the basic mechanics of minecraft to paint this picture of a kid struggling to survive a traumatic situation.
like, there was an entire hour and a half stream where the goal was to create one ender chest. and that was one of the first streams, when c!tommy was doing relatively well. later on the goals devolved into stuff like.. building a new bridge 10 feet away from the old one to make it slightly easier for people to visit, a flimsy excuse to avoid thinking about the real goal of distracting himself
there was over 15 hours of streams about this. when you think about it, nothing really happened, but at the same time, everything happened. it was a small, focused, heavy character study played out in minecraft which is like… i mean, bold move for the Funnie Haha 16 y/o Minecraft Streamer?? ghHGJK??
i just think it’s a lil mind-blowing how well he conveyed the amount of effort it takes for someone to simply stay alive when they’re put in that kind of abusive situation, how the story was paced out and how the audience was drawn in for the ride. sometimes i find myself double-taking and being like. oh yeah. that was a thing that actually happened. huh

The list of characters I Obsess over is long, I'll admit. That being said, the list of characters I SIMP over has grown by one and I hate it.
