I said it in a reblog of another post and I'll say it here now, "you're too fun" is the slimiest most skin crawling sentence ever uttered on this godforsaken smp. Because it not only implies that not only was all of the betrayal, violence, and mistrust all a fun little game for dream, but also puts his treatment of tommy in Logstedshire in an entirely different light. Abuse is awful no matter what reason, and what dream did was inexcusable, but it was almost easier to analyze and break down, because, in the end, it was supposed to teach tommy a lesson about questioning his authority. You gotta crack a few defiant eggs to make an obedient and traumatized little omelette, right? "You're too fun" throws that all out the fucking window. Because now, instead of tommy's abuse being dream thinking of it as a "necessary evil" in order to keep the smp under his control, it's literally just dream dumping the carton of eggs on the ground and mashing the ruined yolks with his heel. He blew up tommy's items for fun. He broke tommy's spirit for fun. He drove him to the end of every ledge imaginable and still didn't let him jump, for fun. Tommy's mind twisting it so that dream was his friend was probably just an extra, fun little game mechanic that he could mess with. Tommy's suffering was worth absolutely nothing, in the end, because it never meant anything to dream beyond playing a game. Tommy's triumphant speech about dream being scared of him feels less like a realization of his power now and more like a desperate attempt to make their game mean something, anything, to dream. Now, it's clear that manipulating tubbo into exiling tommy was only an excuse to make his game more interestjng. If there was ever any doubts about dream being the most evil person on the server, "you're too fun" squashes them. Because what's more villainous than making people suffer, and then telling them on no uncertain terms that their suffering was for nothing?

y'all keep sayin that ranboo's character feels like "baby's first oc" and i respectfully disagree. the way ranboo has written his character, how gradually he reveals lore, and how well he acts his scenes out even though he's a fairly new member in the smp, feels like he had already done something similar before, and was already an experienced roleplayer to begin with.

i dont know what fandoms ranboo used to be involved in, but i can bet that he had written an intricately detailed oc atleast twice before, and there's a likely possibility that one of them may have been related to undertale.

you know what does feel like a genuine "baby's first oc" though? karl jacobs' character. you can tell that tales of the smp was something entirely new that he hadn't done before, which explains why the story is a bit unpolished, and his acting isn't quite as immersive, but that's to be expected from a beginner!

hardly anyone ever starts out good right off the bat, and it's always difficult trying things out for the first time. that's why it was incredibly brave of karl jacobs to take that giant leap and tackle something entirely new to him, despite all the struggles that came along the way. the fact that he listens to the community to help improve the story he's writing, just shows how much he's willing to grow and expand his story.

keep this in mind whenever you're watching the tales of the smp. karl jacobs is fairly new when it comes to storytelling, so don't be cruel and shut his ideas down when he hasn't told the rest of the story yet, be patient and supportive with the things he does and creates, cause someday you might come to bite your words.

remember how techno started off a bit awkwardly and had difficulty roleplayin cause whenever a tense situation came up he'd often repeat the same reason hoping the others would catch on that he genuinely couldn't think of anything else to say cause he was too anxious, or how he'd often self-promote or crack some jokes during stressful scenarios cause he couldn't handle those very well.

now technoblade's acting has gotten so significantly better that people are gonna start thinkin he'd always been this good, like no, he's just gotten that good because he's been working hard to get better!! he's mentioned preparing speeches weeks before an event, practicing his lines until he memorized them and could do them with ease.

of course majority of his acting have been majorly improvised, but do you really think he'd get involved in a story without having some ideas of what to say beforehand? techno has been working hard to get better, and it shows. he's not the only person who has gotten better, but he's the best example i could give cause i mainly watch his perspective.

remember: be kind. be patient. be supportive. that's all i ask to y'all. you can give constructive criticism, but if i catch any of you shutting down a new story someone is trying to tell, or straight up ignoring them because you don't think it's gonna go well, you're just being insensitive.

just be supportive. that's all they ever need to continue, to keep pursuing the stories that they want to tell, to share to the world, to us. all of the effort and time they've spent to bring those stories to life were made for us, the viewers, the audience. learn to appreciate what they've done cause it's not easy to tell a story in front of hundreds and thousands of people, knowing that they will criticise every part of it.

oh and one last thing, a clear example of someone's story being ignored and hated simply because most people didn't understand has been fundy's character. you guys are aware that he worked so hard on his story right?

that he wrote 50 pages detailing everything he learned about schlatt, and his potential weaknesses while he was being a spy under his administration, that he carried the start of season two by directly confronting ghostbur about all the awful things he did when he was alive, and how he just wanted c!wilbur's approval and validation only to be discarded, treated like he wasn't worth anything anymore?

fundy carried the beginning of season two when the dream smp was still trying to set up the potential storylines they could develop, and gave us content while the plot remained stagnant for a while. now fundy has expressed that he might be less involved with the lore, because of all the hate he's gotten regarding his character, so you all better learn to appreciate fundy or atleast stop hating on him when you know jack shit about his character alright?

if this ever happens again im going to be severely disappointed knowing that y'all can clearly fucking do better than keep hating on someone and not thinking about all the effort the content creators have put into their stories.

if you can't learn to appreciate content creators then at least be respectful. that's the literally the least you can do, and if you can't do that, you're not welcome here.

bugs is…. shrimp????

First encounter with Death / Last encounter with Death

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.
