With All The Negativity And General Awfulness Recently (even Though Almost All Of It Isnt Even From Tumblr

with all the negativity and general awfulness recently (even though almost all of it isnt even from tumblr 😭) i figured we deserved some much needed positivity - here's some things i appreciate and think is really cool about some ccs :]

• quackity puts an insane amount of work into his lore streams and it REALLY shows; he's not only able to do those, but also juggle general streaming with, if i remember correctly, going to wholeass law school. he's so hardworking in general and his content is so entertaining too! hes SO goddamn funny and has the absolute best dynamic with everyone? he's pretty much the only dsmp cc i knew of before the dsmp too, ive watched him for years and it's amazing how he's grown :D

• punz is someone ill admit to not watch that much of, im just not very interested in valorant tbh, but still, from everything ive seen he is SO cool. i saw someone once describe him as having "wholesome frat boy energy" and that has never once left my mind, it's so good. he has a very nice stage presence and also deserves another shout-out for being one of the only streamers to tell off chat when they're being weird, you go king. his dsmp character has SO much potential too! he's really funny and has a wonderful dynamic with all his friends, pummel party saturdays are some of the most fun things out there :3

• tubbo isn't quite "underrated" of course but i wouldn't say he gets as much recognition as he deserves, either. this kid is SO talented and so cool and he's going to do amazing things, not like he hasn't already. this goes for several of the ccs, of course, but the fact that he's achieved so much at so young, hell, is BUILDING an add-on to his house with his OWN money, along with having one of the highest concurrent viewer counts on twitch, is crazy. not to mention how INCREDIBLE and interesting his dsmp character is, too! he can act so well, he can even play piano and wrote HUNDREDS of pages of a screenplay of his? everything about tubbo screams talent!

• dream, in my opinion, has one of the most bizarre and inspiring growths ive ever seen from a creator. 20 million subscribers in, what? ~2 years? it's INSANE! his hard work into all his content truly pays off, and he's such a kind person in general - his videos are some of the only ones ill actually regularly rewatch. he's helped so many creators grow and succeed with the dsmp and, speaking of the smp, i love his character SO much, he's so well acted and he's probably my favorite at this point. i could go on and on about c!dream, but ill save that for another day. irl dream? what a stupendous guy :]

• me talking about ranboo is gonna be a little biased no matter what, i mean, look at my url. it's embarrassing. but in any case, if dream's success was crazy ranboos was even crazier; he was a kid on tiktok who became the (at the time) most subscribed streamer on twitch after less than 6 months of streaming. he donated and is still actively donating thousands of dollars to the trevor project, he's so kind, understanding, and friendly, his content makes his lgbt+ audience feel so safe, and man don't even get me started on his lore. his streams about the panic room and the first appearance of the dream voice in january was my first introduction to dsmp lore and it was AMAZING. i can't wait to see where he goes next :D

• badboyhalo is another one who's not exactly underrated, but still deserves more appreciation too. he's so extremely kind and has wonderful friendships with everybody, not to mention how the dream smp might not even exist if it wasn't for him? even through all the jokes, all his friends talk about him so highly, he's just such a cool guy in general. bad has put so much work into his smp character and the egg arc, too, and it really really shows! he always makes sure to thank every single donation, is always so welcoming, and he's honestly super goddamn funny too. love this guy :D his streams always make me smile!

• tommy has absolutely blown up on youtube in the past months and he deserves it so much. it's like, every single time he enters a room (metaphorically or literally) all the attention is INSTANTLY drawn to him, and i mean that in the best way possible. he's one of the funniest youtubers ive ever seen and his videos and streams are always so well put together. he's helped turn the dsmp into what it is today, and on top of all of this he still helps write the story and has an absolutely incredible character who's so well acted every single time he's on screen. plus, some of his friends mention that he's a genuine sweetheart off-camera and that is both amazing and so funny to me. every time i blink he's gained another million subscribers, and im sure it won't be long til he hits 10 mil too ^_^!!

• niki is someone who has to deal with so much bullcrap but, somehow, it never shows. what i mean is that niki is generally always such a nice person, her streams consistently have the absolute best vibes and are always such a pleasure to tune in to. all her escapades into the lore so lovely, her acting skills are so good and she's a master at subtle storytelling. she can even juggle streaming on top of being an artist, too, and has a work ethic i admire so much. i sincerely hope she's having a good day, and wherever she goes next i will be so ecstatic to see :]!!

ill probably reblog this post with additions of more ccs sometime very soon, i think pretty much all of them are so talented, these are just some random specific thoughts of mine :3!
