Can We Take A Second To Appreciate Just How The Dream Smp Members’ Acting Keep On Getting Better And

oh, you relate to a dark academia character? so are you the repressed and in love with your best friend one, or the repressed and in love with your best friend one, or the repressed and in love with your best friend one, or the repressed and in love with your best friend one, or the repressed and in love with your best friend one, or the repre…

Okay so I was thinking. All the people closest to Technoblade are on the verge of death.

Assuming he really does care about Tommy (and I think he does), that kid is on his last life, and he’s being perused by the owner of the server who has leverage over the both of them (the favor and the disks).

Philza is a hardcore player and therefore only ever had one life to begin with, and he just escaped house arrest. I don’t think anyone’s going to come for him? but he’s not exactly lacking in negative relationships.

Carl is an animal and therefore only has one life at all, no options for “non-canon deaths”

And Wilbur is literally already a ghost now with severe amnesia.

And it just makes me think. “Technoblade never dies” doesn’t sound so positive anymore.

Fun fact: the guys at our college’s geology department prop out the doors with their samples. I totally understand why but as someone whose work with samples is necessarily super delicate and sterile it fucks me up so bad

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

constant drive to talk about my ocs but also the eternal issue of not being able to articulate my thoughts properly so just imagine that i am grabbing you like this. there are things in my mind but they are not escaping

Never have I ever encountered a character so obviously a villain on paper, but that I am so emotionally incapable of thinking of as a villain.

oh my god all i can think about is the spiderverse. it is consuming my waking thoughts.

I think c!philza’s conversations with ghostbur today destroyed all of us, so I’m going to talk about c!philza for a bit — his ride-or-die bias towards techno, how that influences his beliefs, and his relationships with others.

phil favors techno. that is damn obvious. they’re old friends who go way back. phil also feels somewhat protective over techno — I’m a huge sucker for the headcanon that phil discovered that techno was basically a teenager during the antarctic empire days and subtly began feeling a bit parental to him after that.

the reason why phil became an anarchist ultimately ties back to techno. although phil was living in l’manberg back then, he was secretly helping techno; and his allegiance to techno ultimately resulted in his (definitely unjustified, but incomparable to what most people in l’manberg went through) house arrest. this house arrest, and watching techno’s execution, were what finally pushed him into full anarchy.

the thing is, I think this loyalty to techno is also what completely blinds him to the suffering of pretty much everyone else in l’manberg, and what him allows to be a-okay with dream’s actions as a tyrant.

phil is adamant that government was ultimately what ruined the people of l’manberg. but he somehow completely misses the trauma of the characters. he comes pretty dangerously close to what amounts as victim-blaming the citizens of l’manberg, especially tubbo, taking the position that they got what was coming to them. he says sorry to ghostbur for assisting in killing friend and destroying ghostbur’s library, but it’s clear that he doesn’t regret it.

when push comes to shove, phil always chooses techno. always. and he does not care if that ends up hurting other people who are or were close to him.

even though tommy, tubbo, and fundy aren’t directly phil’s sons, they are still connected to him and see him as somewhat of a father (or grandfather) figure. tommy accidentally calls him ‘dadza’. tubbo was found on the side of the road, and back when phil was in l’manberg they often worked together to build l’manberg. fundy is phil’s grandchild, who’s looking for any family he can get.

and phil sees them as corrupt, for reasons all adjacent to techno. although he was kind to them, he never truly paid attention to their trauma; and once they started directly opposing techno, well. they were dead to him, pretty much. this is neglect and abuse, everyone.

his conversation with ghostbur has only been the most overt example of this. and if ranboo ever decides to leave technoblade, well. I think we know where that is going.
