I think c!philzaâs conversations with ghostbur today destroyed all of us, so Iâm going to talk about c!philza for a bit â his ride-or-die bias towards techno, how that influences his beliefs, and his relationships with others.
phil favors techno. that is damn obvious. theyâre old friends who go way back. phil also feels somewhat protective over techno â Iâm a huge sucker for the headcanon that phil discovered that techno was basically a teenager during the antarctic empire days and subtly began feeling a bit parental to him after that.
the reason why phil became an anarchist ultimately ties back to techno. although phil was living in lâmanberg back then, he was secretly helping techno; and his allegiance to techno ultimately resulted in his (definitely unjustified, but incomparable to what most people in lâmanberg went through) house arrest. this house arrest, and watching technoâs execution, were what finally pushed him into full anarchy.
the thing is, I think this loyalty to techno is also what completely blinds him to the suffering of pretty much everyone else in lâmanberg, and what him allows to be a-okay with dreamâs actions as a tyrant.
phil is adamant that government was ultimately what ruined the people of lâmanberg. but he somehow completely misses the trauma of the characters. he comes pretty dangerously close to what amounts as victim-blaming the citizens of lâmanberg, especially tubbo, taking the position that they got what was coming to them. he says sorry to ghostbur for assisting in killing friend and destroying ghostburâs library, but itâs clear that he doesnât regret it.
when push comes to shove, phil always chooses techno. always. and he does not care if that ends up hurting other people who are or were close to him.
even though tommy, tubbo, and fundy arenât directly philâs sons, they are still connected to him and see him as somewhat of a father (or grandfather) figure. tommy accidentally calls him âdadzaâ. tubbo was found on the side of the road, and back when phil was in lâmanberg they often worked together to build lâmanberg. fundy is philâs grandchild, whoâs looking for any family he can get.
and phil sees them as corrupt, for reasons all adjacent to techno. although he was kind to them, he never truly paid attention to their trauma; and once they started directly opposing techno, well. they were dead to him, pretty much. this is neglect and abuse, everyone.
his conversation with ghostbur has only been the most overt example of this. and if ranboo ever decides to leave technoblade, well. I think we know where that is going.
(/rp) Anyway shout out to Eret for actually putting the emotions and well being of one of the many traumatized children in this story before his own wants immediately.
When Ghostbur asked for help to be revived he immediately thought about Fundy first. He wanted to help because he wanted Fundy to have a father - even after making it clear he wants to adopt Fundy. Heâs putting Fundyâs well being before his own wants and can I just say the bar is LOW if this is a rare thing.
âur so chillâ thanks i am completely disconnected from reality right now
you know what dad? maybe i don't wanna be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned. it's a lot of pressure to put on me and honestly i've been feeling stressed recently because of it
wait, does techno know jack is alive?
because on doomsday he took what he knew as jacks last canon life. and they havent interacted since then.
like imagine this guy challenges you to a duel after you destroy a country and hes annoying so you kill him and then later you find out that was his last life. oh well guess hes dead now. THEN a few weeks later you hear a knock at your door AND HES STANDING THERE ALIVE??? and then he asks you to help him kill this kid who lived in your house for like a week and a half.
basically i want this to happen
yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character whoâs never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
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.
wishing every member of the disney-mcu marketing team a very happy screaming crying throwing up as they learn that despite every algorithmically targeted test audience development by market analysis megahit they attempt to manufacture, tumblr will collectively decide without forethought or discussion that the new fandom obsession is a non-existent scorsese film premised entirely on the tag label on a pair of knock off boots
