Please Don’t Let This Flop Tumblr Pleeeaase I Spent 12 Hours On This

technoblade is a beautiful soul. he’s taught me a lot about life— but the one thing he’s always taught me is that doing things you love and not caring about what people think is the way forward.

i love him. i will love him forever and always, and i know that he will overcome this just as he has overcome every other bad thing that life has thrown his way.

and in his honour, please wear a god damn mask.

Disabled household low on funds after an eviction and two months in a hotel

At the end of May my family was evicted from our apartment and forced to stay in a hotel while working on new living arrangements. This took two months, and during this time we had to spend >$200 a night for a pair of rooms for the four of us and our two cats (plus other costs, such as our storage units for our stuff, and food and the like). Our reserves of money are stretched thin, and all that’s left is needed for things such as paying people to move our items into our new home.

My mother lost her job earlier in the year due to cutbacks because of COVID, and my father is dealing with an as-yet unknown illness that, while still allowing him to work from home, has left him in immense pain. Meanwhile I have had to hold off on beginning my transition until we’re moved in, and that, too, will be costly.

All this is to say, if you have anything to spare, I am linking my Paypal here. Anything sent will assist in food or necessities. Thank you!

Let’s just say that edit of black howl awakened something in me

The Sam Nook bit is so funny but could you imagine sam hitting us with this line?

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.

Everyone on the Dream SMP stream today did amazing, and their success is more than deserved.

temptation hangs on the branch

sin dripping off the oak

a sweet smell, a sweet caress,

the forbidden fruit,

damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

wine red, with a honeyed core

my mouth aches for the sweet release

of the first bite, saccharine and dangerous

forbidden, but inviting to our

innocent soul.

eat with me, my love

come and taste the sin

of which He has forbade—

how could He? when the taste is so sweet,

when the fruit sits on the branches so beautifully,

waiting to be plucked?

take the honeyed temptation, sweetheart,

and i’ll let you have the first taste,

of our gentle sin, ripe and pleasing,

a tender transgression—

let the flavor sit in your mouth, love,

and let me savour it with you

together we sin, together we rise

higher than the heavens

where virtues could never take us;

they would never taste this right

I do not want to get upset or snap, but many people are losing their patience, me included.

One of the big and mildly upsetting events of this decade (yet not nearly as tragic as obvious disasters humanity has faced), is how the dream smp fandom tags their stuff.

I’ll put this lightly: it is being seen as greatly annoying and distressing to see spam and improperly tagged posts. It is spam, it is clogging up posts, it is rude and ignores basic internet ettequite.

Please, I am begging you, do not use #minecraft or #mineblr. You have #dream smp, #dsmp, and #mcyt.

For the love of everyone and yourself, use YOUR tags and YOUR tags alone.

Okay to reblog
