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 rewatching the L’Manburg revolution vods and losing my shit over how this is a FUCKING MINECRAFT ROLEPLAY
“You can describe what makes a man strong, but you can’t describe what makes a man wise.”
“You know what we have that they don’t have? We have camaraderie. We have a righteous cause. We have an area to defend. Do you know what he’s driven by? Greed. Do you know what we’re driven by? The defense of our land.”
“Until the day we stop breathing, that is when L’Manburg has fallen. He can destroy the walls. He can slaughter our friends, our family. But until the day we stop breathing, and the moment we let go of that dream we have of a self-emancipated nation, that is when he has won. Men, are you going to let go of that dream?”
“Independence, or death. If we get no revolution, then we want nothing.”
There is an entire scene where Wilbur has Fundy read “Ozymandias” and foreshadows the entire L’Manburg arc???
puss in boots is so good omg
Me rn
Ranboo: "I'm an enderman."
Slimecicle: "I'm... slime."
Them, to Jack Manifold: "What are you?"
Jack Manifold (who survived several wars and revolutions, who battled the blood god, who went to the void, but couldn't be kept and came back with all three lives restored): "I'm just a dude."
quackity possession arc pog
something i haven't seen anyone mention about the Puss in boots: the last wish
there are plenty of stories about someone trying to cheat death, but I don't think I've ever come across a story before where death doesn't play fair either. and the fact that the wolf just casually admitted it? loved it
and the twist is hilarious: you would think that he has some pretty good reason for trying to kill Puss before his time has come, but no. Death just got fed up with watching this dumbass cat waste his lives in incredibly stupid ways, and decided that this arrogant lil bitch needs to get his ass whooped
They are going to pass all of their finals
they should invent decisions that are easy
so i was watching tommys stream right? and wilbur, like real life wilbur the person, brought up an interesting point. and that’s why is tommy lonely?
and i found that interesting because its a fair point. why is he lonely, especially from a writers perspective, which is what wilbur was asking from
because tommy is sad, theres no arguing about that. and he has ample reason to be sad, but to claim hes lonely is a different story. hes been visited by people almost everyday (mostly dream, but the others visit too, and also PM him) and also he keeps getting presents from people whenever they come and visit him
tubbo is basically the only person who hasn’t come to visit him, but wil also pointed out thats kind of a vapid reason for this extreme loneliness hes feelling, which is true
but i think its more the sudden lack of attention that tommys feeling. he, as a character, has essentially been the Main Character for the majority of the smp lore. yes, other characters have been important, but tommy has gotten used to being the centre of attention. hes gotten used to and dependent on the power of being ‘important’, and now that hes an option, for tubbo and for everyone else, he doesn’t know what to do (dream also fits into this in a way, but ill have to get into that in a different post lol)
hes realizing hes not the priority to other people, and im pretty sure thats just completely upended his worldview (remember, hes the “hero” that always comes out on top, that everything works out for) because hes facing consequences for his actions, and they suck. like they’re not fun
and its different from the first time, because now hes being exiled by himself, by his best friend, as a direct response to his actions, and people are just kinda going with it (its also a much more thorough exile than last time)
so its not that tommy doesn’t have friends, or that he is lonely because no ones isn’t visiting, or that people dislike him (which is an idea that he believes at this point), its that his ‘normal’ for how people treat him, and how they interact with him is so skewed that he only thinks people like him if he gets all of their attention and is their number one priority and is special.
hes not used to this feeling of being by himself, and because he doesn’t know what it is, hes labelled it as loneliness
