If you are on Sapnap's alt stream (or any stream but especially SapnapAlt) please read these basic twitch etiquette rules and tips. Kinda negative but sometimes bullying works.

1. Get BTTV. Google BTTV download the BetterTTV browser extension. It's 100% safe.

2. If you want to donate to be noticed please gift subs instead not only is it helping the community but streamers prefer gift subs.

3. Don't mention other streamers in chat. If another person starts streaming don't announce you're leaving just fucking leave.

4. Don't promote yourself or anyone else on someone's stream. That includes asking for a sub.

5. Don't spam chat. No joke needs to be spammed for 20 minutes and re-mentioned every stream after that.

6. Call streamers by the name they go by whether it's their birthname, nickname or Twitch username. Nicknames aren't funny. For example stop calling Sapnap Cracknap, Snapchat, Samsung Refrigerator etc. If their friends give them nicknames it doesn't mean you can especially if you overuse and ruin it. If they don't go by birth names don't use it. Clay, Nick, Luke, Dave etc remove that shit from vocab.

7. If you do want to donate please understand that stupid questions and donations aren't appreciated by streamers or viewers. If you donate saying any of these messages just know chat doesn't like you and the streamer probably think you're cringe.

"Can you say Happy Birthday to"

"Can you say Hi to"

"Can you read my DM/email"

"You ignored my last dono"

It doesn't matter how polite you are it's still dumb. If you are donating purely to be noticed, don't.

8. Don't call out lurkers. If Dream is watching but doesn't speak in chat don't spam chat saying hi or saying "Dream is lurking"

9. Don't ask streamers to join VC or add people to call

10. This is for DreamSMP members only but don't inform them about what happens in other lore streams. Like everyone spamming Phil, George and Techno about Dream being in prison, they know but the characters don't. Also stop spamming everyone to visit Dream in prison. It's arranged by both Sam and Dream since they both need to be online.

11. Don't say personal details. No age reveals. No location reveals. No full name reveals. Please stay safe.

DONATING TO A STREAMER MEANS YOU ARE DONATING WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN. YOU WOULDN'T GIVE MONEY TO A DOG'S SHELTER AND EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN. SAME THING GOES FOR STREAMERS. DONATIONS AREN'T A PLACE TO GET A NOTICE. THEY AREN'T A PLACE TO BUY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY COMMENT.

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT DONATING AND BUYING ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. Buying means you exchange one product for another for example you give money in exchange for a new phone. Donating is you helping someone out without them doing something in return. Please learn that.

as i pass through the second circle,

i wonder ‘is this inferno able to hold all us sinners?’

‘will it ever be enough for the long lines of fools,

of the liars and the traitors?’

brimstone and basalt beneath my feet and in my nose; not an unfamiliar feeling

as i watch the souls devour each other

in reckless fury, passion

on the backdrop of a hurricane of blue fire, carbon on hydrogen

crashing bodies on bodies,

with the echo of the endless storm in my mind,

i feel burning nostalgia in my hands,

in my mouth

for our earthly time together, burning coldly

and slowly in the remnants of my mind,

already half eaten, empty

by Ugolino, hiding her half-eaten fingers from my blind eyes

we are all fools, i more than most

for willingly walking into a sulfuric hell,

and for letting myself get eaten, like roadkill

by a devil who could never be satisfied.

as i crawl my way down to the bottom,

the last circle, lust to treachery

to the icy depths of this menagerie of our creation,

i know that if there isn’t enough room for us

so i will make room

as i forced my stomach to give space in its tiny insides

for your ravenous hunger, too much for two.

i will make room in the bottom for us

to make sure the devil devours us both,

judas, brutus; they can watch

as He chooses which of us will be the greatest feast.

they will vote, of course, with their half eaten hands and minds, on whom will be ripped apart first

and be sure, my dear

they have not seen our insides, thawing and clawing

they can jest, but never know the extent

of the crime committed,

we may be frozen in the lake together, but

there is not enough space in this devils mouth for the both of us

your cold blood will serve as a better appetizer,

than mine, i will stand and watch

endlessly burning, endlessly waiting

for starvation to take its toll

on my soul,

ripped from my body.

-L

Do something!

niki spoke about that she had to delete twitter because she was being babied on minx’s stream, & i was thinking about that and i want to rant about it because that’s also, one of the things that piss me off about some people in the fandom. (& as we’ve gathered from the fuck ton of posts i’ve made about this fandom, there’s a lot of shit that does)

babying adult cc’s shouldn’t even be a thing that happens — & shouldn’t be a thing that’s as frequent as it is, but it is, and it’s weird. most of the time it’s with cc’s like george, or niki, but sometimes it’s with sapnap, sometimes it’s with dream, sometimes it’s with karl, sometimes it’s with anybody, and it’s fucking. weird. these are adults you’re talking about; adults that you’re referring to as babies/treating as if they can’t defend themselves, as if they’re innocent beings that need to be protected and cooed over, when most of them are in their late 20’s.

it doesn’t stop at adult cc’s, though. tubbo is the most frequent minor in the smp who’s babied; people are surprised whenever he makes sexual innuendos/jokes, saying shit like “they’re surprised he knows that” & “i thought he was so innocent!” as if he isn’t a 17 year old boy going on 18. people have always had this image in their mind that he’s this sweet, innocent boy, & they’ve always harped on people — specifically tommy — for being “mean” to him, as if he isn’t mature enough to defend himself/as if it’s their decision to defend him.

people have this weird thought process — specifically with cc’s with a ssofter/kinder persona — that it’s their job to protect them, because they’re this innocent angel. they’re human beings, & it’s weird for you to be viewing them this way — it’s weird for you to be shocked when they’re mature enough to know certain things, or don’t get upset when they’re slightly insulted by their friends. it’s weird for you to be so protective of them when they don’t even know you exist.

of course you shouldn’t sexualize cc’s — and this isn’t me giving you the go ahead to do so — but don’t fucking baby them either. don’t flock over them to go to sleep, don’t flock over them when they’re drinking or doing things they’re allowed to do when they’re adults, & certainly don’t get all up in another cc’s when they say a “mean word about them 🥺”

it’s crazy to me that it went to the point where niki literally had to speak about it, but also that she had to delete twitter. just because a cc acts softer doesn’t mean they’re your precious baby, that just means you’re a creep <3. that is my ted talk for today

When I see people talking negatively about Dream SMP and saying things like it doesn't deserve its massive viewership and that it's just kids screaming, or that only children would be capable of enjoying it, or most damningly that it's low effort content I know they've never watched a big plot stream like today.

Because, enjoy it or not, Dream SMP is probably the highest effort content you can find on twitch. It's like a 2 hour live theater performance with no scene breaks, and half of it is improv. All the "sets" are painstakingly built by hand, sometimes while being live and in character. It took Sam dozens of hours to build the prison, most if which he wasn't paid for since he didn't stream to avoid spoilers.

The amount of talent, EFFORT, and dedication that goes into pulling something like this off is astronomical.

And some of the old guard of twitch and youtube along with their viewership don't seem to understand that. A comedic video game review or a video essay may take a long time to script and edit but imagine the anxiety of having to pull something like this off live in front of 1 million people, and that's not even getting into how many will watch the vod. Last night Punz was talking about how anxious he is to get more involved in the roleplay for that reason.

It's a new era of live entertainment. These kids write their own lines, are their own camera operators, their own stage crew, their own stunt doubles. Even D&D doesn't require you to have a mastery of video game mechanics. These roleplays don't just require improvised lines but movements and fight scenes as well.

So even if Dream SMP isn't everyone's cup of tea I think it deserves respect from other creators and their fanbases.

"It's dumb and boring" says someone who's stream content of choice is just watching someone be good at first person shooters. "Just stream minecraft for clout, it's easy lol..." says someone who's never watched a stream and doesn't understand why Dream SMP specifically is so popular.

This isn't toy channels or a Fortnite loot boxes scam. Just because something is enjoyed by kids doesn't make it exploitative or low effort.
