Can I Just Say? I’m 100% On C!tommy’s Side Here, I Thought It Was Great That He Had That Moment Of

Okay but the funniest, FUNNIEST thing to me about the SMP is that Techno lowkey treats Tubbo like his arch-rival.

He kind of treats Tubbo like an icon for Government as a whole, which is hilarious considering Tubbo was the third choice for leadership after the other two rejected the position, like–

Techno will be preparing for every possible angle of attack when raiding L’manberg and Tubbo will be getting yeeted 40 feet in the air trying to make a ravager teleport him for no reason other than to see if he can

It is LITERALLY JUST:

Techno: Ah yes… My nemesis, President of L’manberg, Government embodied, my Literary Foil; Leader of the Butcher Army, He who grounded the Angel of Death and survived, My true Arch-enemy… Tubbo.

Tubbo: i likeda bee :)

The Mycotyrant is a really interesting and timely antagonist right after the Phyrexian arc because it shows, with contrast, what Phyrexia is not.

As much as Norn tries to present herself as the head of a unified hivemind, Phyrexia is clearly a fragmented people with individuals who think, hope, and have conflicting goals for the future. There are Phyrexian rebels, like Urabrask, who actively oppose the unification of their people because they know exactly who would be suppressed in the process.

The Mycotyrant just... is. It's the single mind behind a vast mycorrhizal network, and unlike Norn or other praetors I don't get the sense that it particularly wants political leverage or control or any of that. Despite its name, its villainy is a lot less about actual tyranny than Phyrexian villainy is, largely because its assimilation is much more absolute. While Phyrexia is more like cognitohazard-assisted cult indoctrination, the Mycotyrant reanimates corpses and speaks through them. There aren't really people left to dominate. Its goal is just... to grow.

Many Phyrexians claim that their conquest is a natural consequence of Phyrexia dividing and growing, but it really isn't--it does not come naturally to every individual. They must be beaten into line to maintain the facade.

Phyrexia is a controlling, colonialist state that bends the ideologies and goals of its people toward conquest, under pain of disassembly. The Mycotyrant is a motivationally and methodically much simpler force of (un)nature.

TIL Filipino officials stopped illegal fishing techniques using dynamite by placing underwater statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary which no one would dare damage.

sigh. oh to make ocs with other people. oh to collaborate on a narrative theres literally nothing more magical than that to me

bugs is…. shrimp????

This is my personal “oh my god the plot is thickening, I have to much to keep track of so I’m listing things here” list. 

The egg is apparently set to take over the remains of L’Manberg. Haven’t really been keeping up with that plot but I think I will now. 

Jack Manifold is having a villain arc and apparently wants to kill Tommy, but refuses to hurt Tubbo

Niki and Fundy are also having villain arcs, but not really

Tubbo is just building his snow base as a fall back for when he and Tommy get the discs back

RANBOO HAS ONE OF THE FUCKING DISCS, LIKE GOD JUST GIVE THE KID A BREAK HE WAS GETTING BETTER HE DOSEN’T NEED THIS STRESS. 

Dream is just gone, but also maybe not because Ranboo has manifested him, like what 

Techno has plans for more undisclosed plans of violence

Glattbur is still a thing. 

Don’t forget about that stupid prison that taunts me every second of my life

oh and another thing not to forget, Techno still owes Dream a favor. Not going to forget that little detail. 

So in other words this Minecraft roleplay is tearing my life apart.  

i love having mutuals who are the authority on a specific fictional character
