So Dream SMP Amirite??!

The best hashtag evah

I'm not mentally ill I just have an unparalleled commitment to the bit

wilbur and tommy, in every goddamn SMP: Ah Fuck, We've Manipulated People Into Believing An Ideology

So I wanted to make a post to... Try and sum up what I think are all of the current ongoing plot lines/character arcs happening right now?

First off, we've got the ongoing disc war; Tommy and Tubbo are planning to go after Dream to try and kill him to get the discs back so they can finally put an end to everything once and for all. They're... Pretty much alone, it's just the two of them right now, planning to fight dream. They've been building a training room under Tommy's home to prepare.

Next, we have Tubbo's new home - where he's trying to build the town of Snowchester in order to have somewhere new to stay, so that he might give some of the people of ex-L'Manburg a place to live.

We've got Wilbur's Resurrection arc - where Phil, Ranboo, Eret and Fundy are trying to resurrect Wilbur so that he can lead the people once more, and so Fundy can have a dad. They've already gone and collected a bunch of totems of undying after trying to kill Wilbur twice to resurrect him ended up summoning the ghost of Schlatt.

We've got the bloodvines arc - where BadBoyHalo, Skeppy, Antfrost, Puffy and Awesamdude discovered a strange egg-plant-thing in BBH's statue room. Initially they didn't worry much until it's vines began spreading over the server and it started possessing people, leading to them sealing it in the room after Skeppy was possessed. Everything was fine until today, when BBH revealed he'd been fully corrupted and brought Ant, Punz and Puffy under it's Thrall with plans to do the same to Sam. They plan to have the egg take over the server so the Badlands can eventually rule and have started the spread by planting seeds of the egg at the bottom of the L'Manburg crater.

We've got the Prison that Awesamdude built, known as Pandora's vault - a massive impregnable building that exists to lock up prisoners with no chance of escape, with things like interweaving layers of obsidian walls, KEYCARD doors and guardians to stack mining fatigue.

That's all of the current arcs, now onto personal character arcs!

Tommy and Tubbo : After repairing their relationship to a degree, the two have agreed to fight together to get the discs back and take down Dream. They've both said they're not sure what they're going to do after this.

Dream : Appears to have disappeared for the time being after destroying L'Manburg.

Punz - Generally a factionless mercenary, was paid by Dream to be his inside man when he left, which he has. Unsure of how this relates to his supposed possession by the egg.

BBH and Skeppy - Both taken over by the egg, seeking to expand and grow the Eggpire to take over the SMP.

Puffy - Wants to become stronger, to live up to her role as a knight under Eret. Seeks to do what's right, no matter who it might hurt - has renounced Dream as her duckling and only pretended to be under the egg's Thrall. Is doing a training arc.

Nicki and Jack Manifold - Both see Tommy as the cause of all of the issues. Both want to get revenge on Tommy and the others who took down L'Manburg; Jack has joined Snowchester to get closer to Tubbo and eventually Tommy, but still seems to respect Tubbo. Still building manifoldland, his own nation.

Quackity - Has gone off on his own for the time being; seeks to devise a plan so that he might take down Dream with, sees him at his major enemy. Still hates Techno and the like, but sees Dream as the cause of everything.

Fundy - Let down by people time and time again, he's lost faith in people and has decided to stop trying to make people happy and work with them; instead seeks to cause chaos and destruction, following in his father's footsteps. Wanted to be friends with Ranboo but scared him off.

Ranboo - after Doomsday, left to go live with Phliza and Technoblade, seeing as they had no side and instead only cared about each other. Likes people, instead of sides. Suffering from steadily worsening memory issues and blackouts, built a panic room that he began to talk to a voice in his head with Dream's voice in, which told him about things he did during his blackouts. Reverts back to a base roaming enderman form whenever he gets heavily anxious. Recently found out that he, during one of his blackouts, was given one of the two discs by Dream for safekeeping... Which also meant he destroyed the community House. Is in a deep state of concern and self-doubt.

Technoblade - after the destruction of L'Manburg, seeks to live in peace again - at least as far as we know. Owes a favour to Dream for something in the future.

Philza - Wants to resurrect Wilbur to get his son back; has been researching necromancy ever since Wilbur's death in order to figure out how to bring him back, and has been working with Eret and Fundy to do so.

Eret - Current king of the server, unsatisfied with Dream's tyrannical rule over everything and his own actions that led to his position on the Throne. Wants to make the server a better place and wants to bring Wilbur back to make amends and hopefully let him lead people once more.

WilburSoot - Now dead, wants to come back so they can rule over the server, according their speeches as a ghost. Is afraid of being killed because he believes Ghostbur would cease to be, but feels that it's best for the server if Alivebur comes back.

Keep in mind, this isn't everyone on the server! This is just the characters who seem to be in the middle of having active character arcs and developments!

Hopefully this helps anyone who's confused with what's going on in the server right now!

friendly reminder that just cuz people do in-depth analyses of characters you like you can enjoy them however you want

.

got a headcanon for c!dream that redeems him? go wild, the world’s your oyster

think c!schlatt is pure evil and has no backstory or isn’t misunderstood? that’s how it be, he’s an evil ram man

think c!schlatt is a misunderstood good guy? good for you, he’s a very nice man with an evil laugh i guess and we stan

think c!philza is a shit dad and person? he fuckin is i guess, you are literally so smart i love you /gen, /p

think c!philza is a broken man who tried to protect his family in his own way? you’re so right and that’s so sexy of you

you’re a c![insert name here] apologist? you are very valid and i’m happy to hear all your thoughts /gen

.

whatever way you find these characters enjoyable just… enjoy them that way. i’m mainly saying this cuz i see a lot of people being like “if you think c!phil is a bad person you’re so stupid” or “if you think c!dream can be redeemed you are the worst” like… if something isn’t stated outright in canon, let people have their headcanons and interpretations

same goes with victimizing people just cuz they enjoy a problematic character, i’ve seen a lot of people go after c!dream fans just because c!dream is a bad person and hurt tommy as much as he did… y’all it’s fiction. people can enjoy bad people in fiction. why do you think villains are always so loved.

this is a minecraft roleplay y’all. we don’t have to get so in-depth.

.

on the other hand if you love making in-depth analyses of the characters and having very serious detailed opinions? GO BUCK WILD! DO THAT SHIT! everything is valid bro!!! just enjoy yourself! as long as you’re not invalidating other people’s headcanons and ways of enjoying themselves, do your thing bro!!!

and of course as long as you don’t harass the actual CCs behind the characters and don’t do anything that makes them uncomfortable or something they said they’re not okay with

.

there that’s my psa thank you

are. are keyboard smashes a thing. on tumblr.

they should invent decisions that are easy

*cups ao3 author's face in my hands gently* please. you are the only one who understands the blorbos correctly. you must write more.

Hey man I really wish I could just jack you in to my brain stem so you could enjoy the awesome pictures my thought juice makes straight from the source and understand my intent with perfect clarity but unfortunately you've gotta bite down on this dry boring word bullshit and guess my true meaning instead

you know what dad? maybe i don't wanna be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned. it's a lot of pressure to put on me and honestly i've been feeling stressed recently because of it
