are. are keyboard smashes a thing. on tumblr.
okay but Techno saying his bit about reciprocity just sparks so much joy. we KNOW that Tommy has been repeatedly traumatized by Dream, he has adverse reactions every time he sees something that reminds him of exile, he gets confused every time he even thinks about Dream and his “friendship” with him, he repeatedly asks Techno for comfort whenever he thinks about Dream.
so Dream shows up, Dream who helped Techno escape death and rescue his horse, Dream who’s obviously trying to be on Techno’s side. Dream who brings up these things he’s done to help Techno in an effort to, what, guilt trip? manipulate? force Techno into telling him where Tommy is. direct quote from Dream in today’s stream: “I will say, y’know, you owe me, a little bit. But—“
and here goes Techno. “Ah, that’s true, that’s true. See Dream, you don’t, you don’t gotta worry Dream. I am a person that believes in absolute reciprocity.”
like.... what? at face value that’s such an interesting way for him to phrase that. just say, “yeah i owe you one.” instead, Techno uses his big language, his fancy speak, talkin about reciprocity.
cause Techno’s been around Tommy. he knows how messed up Tommy is over Dream. he doesn’t know exactly what Dream has done to Tommy, not at all, but he knows a bit about it. and he completely covers for Tommy to Dream because Dream has no fuckin right to be asking after Tommy and Techno knows it.
Techno might owe Dream for the save, but it’s not a reciprocal action for Techno to rat out a traumatized teenager to someone who’s been manipulating them. Techno’s really growing on me y’all.

Look I can't make edits but the idea won't leave me alone so tumblr or tiktok do something about it
The "Feels like we had matching wounds" audio but before that is Gwen saying "Lets do this one more time" and it cuts between her peter dying and her dad pulling a gun, meanwhile Miles gives Ganke a fistbump and hugs his family
Followed by Miles saying "Lets do this one last time" and the audio repeats, but this time it's all of Miles' drawings and his graffiti wall cut with Gwen bragging about spider society and interacting with hobie and pavitr
Idk if I'm explaining it well visually but god it won't leave me alonee
sigh. oh to make ocs with other people. oh to collaborate on a narrative theres literally nothing more magical than that to me
The point of officially naming a pet is not to actually use that name but to have a baseline from which to come up with every conceivable nickname to call them instead.
People on tumblr be like “Wilbur isn’t a redeemable character because he was a bad dad and also mentally ill” please just say you don’t know how redemption arcs work and move on
Okay, so I know everyone is going nuts over Tommy & Tubbo but I wanted to take a second to appreciate Clay’s acting and skills as c!Dream. The man has done some amazing stuff and it really shows in Tommy/Tubbo’s finale.
The part that I think went under appreciated, but really impressed me, was the fight scene on the mountain.
We all know Clay is super good at the game. In an actual battle, he could have won very easily. During this scene it would’ve been easy to slip up (plot-wise) and accidentally kill c!Tommy or c!Tubbo. But if you watch carefully, you could see how Clay was pushing each of them until they were close to death, and then giving them a chance to breathe by switching his attention to the other. He also very clearly signals Tommy for when he knows Tubbo’s health is too low, and c!Dream needs to do a ‘villain monologue’ to stall for time so Tubbo’s health bar can regenerate. (Not to mention giving his character a villainious reason for why they’re ‘not really trying’).
To be frank, Clay’s acting, control, and skills amaze me b/c, somehow, in the heat of this fight scene he managed to actively keep assessing wether or not his opponents were low, and back off accordingly, while still giving the viewer an entertaining fight scene. Like holly cow, that could not have been easy, but he did it flawlessly!!
In conclusion: The whole thing was just awesome! And I doubt there are many players who could have pulled that off!! Well Done Clay!!! You were fantastic!!!

Dream SMP but make it a graphic novel series
Yes yes I know this too shall pass but christ alive man it's passing like a gotdamn kidney stone
usually i try to be kind or at least neutral on some things, but today's not the day for that. fuck anyone on the planet who has decided that it is okay to ship minors.
i bring this up now because i'm seeing a surge of people shipping minors in the dream smp/mcyt community - most commonly between tubbo and tommyinnit, or tubbo and ranboo. if you do this, choke and die slowly.
it is not your job to speculate on the sexualities or the relationships of sixteen/seventeen y/o's, especially when they've gone out of their way to say that they don't want to be shipped, sexualised or anything of the sort. it is encroaching on the boundaries of real people, real friendships, and i'd like to remind you that it's fucking illegal.
i have seen post after post speculating that tubbo is lgbt and it has to stop. whether or not he is or he isn't is completely irrelevant - the point is that speculating about it is intrusive, it's harmful to a minor, and if he is lgbt, it's going to confuse the fuck out of him and make it harder to come out if he is lgbt. truthing needs to stop.
i am not going to sit around and try and be courteous to people like that.
i want to mention, however, that i myself have made jokes about them 'flirting', specifically ranboo and tubbo, but i mainly did it in the context of knowing that it was all in good fun and not serious on the valentines day streams where they were joking about being valentines. if it at all appeared that i was trying to ship them, or if i endorsed that kind of behaviour, i apologise.
i've reblogged a post before containing a blocklist of people who engage with this kind of behaviour, but in general tags that should be blocked or avoided include:
enderbee, enderbees, ranbee, boobee (this one makes me want to dash my skull into a wall), tubbo truthing, ranboo truthing and any variants of a person x person tag or other related shipping tags that i have missed.
i know at times it might not be beneficial to talk on things but it is my personal belief that some issues do need to be talked about, brought to light - information that this is happening should be known and something should be done to combat it. i haven't been on tumblr for long, but as soon as i see a post shipping minors, i immediately block and report (in fact i pretty much block shippers on my feed anyway) and i would reccommend doing something similar. there should be an effort to discourage this sort of behaviour.
dream saying that he doesn't really care if people ship him with someone like george isn't an umbrella statement, in fact dream has gone on record stating the opposite - his words, just because he's extremely popular, doesn't encompass the feelings of individuals. all three, tommy, tubbo and ranboo have gone on record and stated that they do not wish to be shipped or sexualised, especially since it is illegal because of their age. i'm not placing the blame on dream here, however, i'm placing the blame on dickheads who decide that because dream said something, it must apply to everyone else.
