So this is just an observation from someone who is pretty new to the fandoms involved and has just been consuming all the old vods from the Antarctic Empire days. But it seems to me that Technoblade's interaction with his chat is one where the chat demands chaos and he steadfastedly holds to a certain code of honor and decorum in spite of their demands. Whereas Philza's interaction with his chat, while there are demands for chaos from the chat, is much more of a give and take where Philza will sometimes act chaotically of his own accord because it's funny. Philza is basically a fae that will murder a man and laugh at his demise, where Techno spends more time resisting the demands for blood than actually going for kills.
All I'm saying is however much Technoblade would have no trouble crushing me in a fight, I'd much rather face him than Philza. Techno has rules and tries to follow them, Philza is far more of a wildcard despite his habitual caution.
watching the turtle stream and thinking about how, the other day, Techno came across a random Iron Golem in his stream and went so far out of his way to heal it, taking out his ender chest and cutting down a tree for a 45th crafting table just to feed it some iron bars and get it to full health
vs Phil coming across a random Iron Golem while turtle hunting today and not only mercilessly beating it to death while Techno watched on in horror, but doing so after ransacking it’s village and needlessly slaughtering the very villagers it was supposed to protect right in front of it
cinematic parallels ✨
Part of the reason I love emerald duo so much is because no matter how you interpret their dynamic (romantic, platonic, familial, ect.) there's one fact that's present no matter what.
Techno and Phil love each other
Whether they're war buddies reuniting for another fight, or estranged lovers picking up the pieces of the greatest love they've ever known, or wrapped up in the most explosive family dynamic known to man, they will lay down their lives for one another without question.
"For you Phil, the world."
The fact that those words were said after Phil had said and done something silly. Something that put a smile on Techno's face. Because that's what they did best. They always make each other smile, and it's really easy to love someone who can make you laugh that much in such a short amount of time.
and here we see the Philza in his natural habitat, trying not to eavesdrop on his best friend's new secret oganization
and here we see the Technoblade in his natural habitat, dragging the Philza inside.
He knows too much. He will be taken care of in the name of the Syndica-
-nope, they're hugging, they're doing forehead bonks, i apologise for the lies, this has taken a wholesome turn. The Philza will live today
I think I will start posting old DSMP artworks from 2023 just to remember old days🪈
More Emduo but Epic musical stuff
The quote "for you the world Phil" is beautiful and heart wrenching yes but I love how we all collectively forgot that it was in reference to Techno telling Phil he could have anything from his vault and Phil took the fucking floor
