Thats... That's Not How This Works? That's Not How Any Of This Works? And Yet

thinking about the absolutely poetic symbolism of the war crime sign being removed to make space for the execution device... thinking about ghostbur singing the l’manberg anthem while running around with friend and reminding tubbo of the core values l’manberg was built upon... thinking about how imprisoning phil in his house goes against all those values... thinking about how before he blew up l’manberg wilbur said it was because that it wasn’t the place it was built to be anymore and that it has become what it had been made to be a haven from.... thinking about how wilbur was right all along and also the best president l’manberg ever had because he didn’t interfere in other citizen’s lives... thinking about how power or want of power corrupts everyone on the server.... thinking about ranboo’s note in his memory book saying “the walls are still up. even if dream takes them down. the are still up.”... thinking about how ranboo is one of the only citizens of l’manberg who understands and upholds its values.... thinking about the poetry of it all....

did you know: you can talk about SBI family dynamic without tying it to their smp characters?

if someone makes a post about dadza or brotherly dynamics and doesn’t tag it as dsmp then chances are they weren’t talking about dsmp so don’t try to correct them about canon, they don’t care about canon because SBI fd has existed longer than dream smp and it’s something people still like talking about

don’t lose yourself, traveler

okay but Techno saying his bit about reciprocity just sparks so much joy. we KNOW that Tommy has been repeatedly traumatized by Dream, he has adverse reactions every time he sees something that reminds him of exile, he gets confused every time he even thinks about Dream and his “friendship” with him, he repeatedly asks Techno for comfort whenever he thinks about Dream.

so Dream shows up, Dream who helped Techno escape death and rescue his horse, Dream who’s obviously trying to be on Techno’s side. Dream who brings up these things he’s done to help Techno in an effort to, what, guilt trip? manipulate? force Techno into telling him where Tommy is. direct quote from Dream in today’s stream: “I will say, y’know, you owe me, a little bit. But—“

and here goes Techno. “Ah, that’s true, that’s true. See Dream, you don’t, you don’t gotta worry Dream. I am a person that believes in absolute reciprocity.”

like.... what? at face value that’s such an interesting way for him to phrase that. just say, “yeah i owe you one.” instead, Techno uses his big language, his fancy speak, talkin about reciprocity.

cause Techno’s been around Tommy. he knows how messed up Tommy is over Dream. he doesn’t know exactly what Dream has done to Tommy, not at all, but he knows a bit about it. and he completely covers for Tommy to Dream because Dream has no fuckin right to be asking after Tommy and Techno knows it.

Techno might owe Dream for the save, but it’s not a reciprocal action for Techno to rat out a traumatized teenager to someone who’s been manipulating them. Techno’s really growing on me y’all.

hey, read this and fucking reblog it.

usually i try to be kind or at least neutral on some things, but today's not the day for that. fuck anyone on the planet who has decided that it is okay to ship minors.

i bring this up now because i'm seeing a surge of people shipping minors in the dream smp/mcyt community - most commonly between tubbo and tommyinnit, or tubbo and ranboo. if you do this, choke and die slowly.

it is not your job to speculate on the sexualities or the relationships of sixteen/seventeen y/o's, especially when they've gone out of their way to say that they don't want to be shipped, sexualised or anything of the sort. it is encroaching on the boundaries of real people, real friendships, and i'd like to remind you that it's fucking illegal.

i have seen post after post speculating that tubbo is lgbt and it has to stop. whether or not he is or he isn't is completely irrelevant - the point is that speculating about it is intrusive, it's harmful to a minor, and if he is lgbt, it's going to confuse the fuck out of him and make it harder to come out if he is lgbt. truthing needs to stop.

i am not going to sit around and try and be courteous to people like that.

i want to mention, however, that i myself have made jokes about them 'flirting', specifically ranboo and tubbo, but i mainly did it in the context of knowing that it was all in good fun and not serious on the valentines day streams where they were joking about being valentines. if it at all appeared that i was trying to ship them, or if i endorsed that kind of behaviour, i apologise.

what i will not apologise for, however, is being a cunt to people who overstep boundaries.

i've reblogged a post before containing a blocklist of people who engage with this kind of behaviour, but in general tags that should be blocked or avoided include:

enderbee, enderbees, ranbee, boobee (this one makes me want to dash my skull into a wall), tubbo truthing, ranboo truthing and any variants of a person x person tag or other related shipping tags that i have missed.

i know at times it might not be beneficial to talk on things but it is my personal belief that some issues do need to be talked about, brought to light - information that this is happening should be known and something should be done to combat it. i haven't been on tumblr for long, but as soon as i see a post shipping minors, i immediately block and report (in fact i pretty much block shippers on my feed anyway) and i would reccommend doing something similar. there should be an effort to discourage this sort of behaviour.

dream saying that he doesn't really care if people ship him with someone like george isn't an umbrella statement, in fact dream has gone on record stating the opposite - his words, just because he's extremely popular, doesn't encompass the feelings of individuals. all three, tommy, tubbo and ranboo have gone on record and stated that they do not wish to be shipped or sexualised, especially since it is illegal because of their age. i'm not placing the blame on dream here, however, i'm placing the blame on dickheads who decide that because dream said something, it must apply to everyone else.

tldr: if you ship minors, you aren't welcome here.
