#but to me filler feels more like an insulting way of saying lighthearted possibly non canon lore

[mangobubbletea7]

I find it weird that it seems like most people in the fandom agree that we miss having more improv lore even though we do appreciate the more structured scripted lore as well, but then I see some people calling L’sandburg filler just because Wilbur isn’t writing it. L’sandburg is a perfect example of fully improv lore and while it doesn’t have to be treated with 100% narrative weight, it’s still Foolish and BBH’s right to improv their own lore if they want. Even if Wilbur’s back writing, he’s still not the main writer for every plot (Ponk and Puffy have both been working on their own solo lore for months for example.) IDK I just think it’s really weird that so many people agree they miss having fully improv lore included, but then some just look at the L’sandburg plot and assume it doesn’t matter so they just disregard it completely? It can be a fun side story, which is what I think of it as, and still not be filler.

#dream smp #foolish gamers #foolish g #lsandburg #idk maybe it comes from a misunderstanding of what filler means #but to me filler feels more like an insulting way of saying lighthearted possibly non canon lore #instead of just thinking of it as them having fun and letting them figure out how canon and how serious they want it to be #maybe I’m making something out of nothing #but I understand it’s a hard balance between not wanting to step on someone else’s toes and having the lore be too structured #in a way that negatively impacts things #so I’m not insulting anyone just saying it’s fun improv lore appreciate it for what it is #mango speaks sometimes #/fandom critical #< just in case
