@theminesbecraftin has once again given me terminal brainrot so have this really quickly made comic where No One Is Having A Good Time (except maybe c!quackity, but he’s rather paranoid over the whole thing as well). it’s just like improv class only we’re throwing c!stagedduo into the deep end and there’s very real and very terrible consequences if either of them break character ^-^

Las Nevadas Finale really popped off, huh?

Another related take:
Yes, this ties into my biggest criticism with Las Nevadas The Institution, which is that not only were its members recruited through coercive means, but the only draft we've seen of its constitution promises execution to those who break the terms within.
And as for my other opinion that "governments" on the SMP cannot be analyzed separately from the personal lives of those who created them due to the nature of the medium, the fact that c!Quackity - a man notorious for his fear of abandonment and general paranoia - wrote a citizenship contract promising death to those who leave is both hilarious (how does this man plan to enforce that, exactly?) and chilling. I wonder if he would change it now.

blowing up purpled’s UFO is objectively one of the most evil things c!quackity’s ever done, second only to LITERAL TORTURE. that was evil! that was an evil evil thing for the ducky man to do! and to a teenage boy, no less(yes ik that cpurpled being a teen isn’t major to his story, BUT HE STILL IS so it’s important to point out just. on principle. and for me personally.)
he took something a young person loved and blew it to pieces to get him to join his ill fitted coping mechanism of a country. it was bad and for that he is wrong.
like.
wtf?
why try to defend THAT of all things?

I would take criticisms of c!Tommy a lot more seriously if a lot of it wasn’t just… victim blaming and ableism. This isn’t to say there’s no valid criticism of c!Tommy there 100% is. But a lot of “popular” criticisms of c!Tommy and the way these criticisms are stated is nasty. Like c!Tommy has so many flaws! But then you get people listing his flaws are like being mean to his abuser and it all falls apart.

About to be a little #fandom critical while I’m still mildly delirious
One of my biggest pet peeves is people who draw/write cquackity and cpurpled as friends or even just like on good terms that aren’t forced
you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me that alex “no one will remember you” quackity and purpled “I don’t think there will ever be a point in time where I respect you as a person” bedwars are friends

Because I keep seeing finale neg at least once a day despite the fact that I hit “don’t recommend” on the ones that still cross my dash… The finale has gone through one tedious game of telephone because people cling onto a dialogue that really needs the urgency of the voice acting to understand. Improv on a time limit isn’t the greatest way to convey a story, but taking the lines at face value is really the worst way to experience it. They didn’t see the way Tommy keep shifting around anxiously waiting or the way Punz kept moving in and out of frame to get Dream’s attention. They didn’t see how Tommy “limped” after being revived and cornered, too exhausted and confused to keep fighting and so choosing to talk to the end. They didn’t hear the exhausted way Tommy apologized as the nuke got louder and closer as Punz kept urging Dream to escape or the way Dream’s pity voice switched to his usual accusatory voice while escaping.
And just a reminder that just because I enjoyed and accept the finale doesn’t mean I think it was great. I just think it was understandable. There are like a thousand different ways this could have ended better, especially had other creators taken part (particularly Sapnap), but this ending wasn’t OOC or bad imo.
Just because someone is a terribly shitty person who’s done awful things doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to have emotions. Dream is offered redemption, but he doesn’t have the chance to receive it. Hell, given more time, he probably wouldn’t have even taken it, especially since Punz was still there, and Punz has no deeper, older motive (especially not one so thoroughly twisted beyond recognition that rationally it directly conflicts with Dream’s wants) behind the want for power. People forget that Punz was still there, trying to keep Dream against Tommy but was mostly ignored.
I think that if it hadn’t been for the White Screen, Tommy would have still lost. There was no winning. People who didn’t watch the stream didn’t know that they were cut off before they actually had a chance to make a choice. It was a small spark of something, the smallest idea of something other than what they were, but it was cut off before it could actually be properly considered because that last understanding would have required a lot more time to fully flesh out. I’m actually really upset that I haven’t come across any fics that dive into “what if they actually didn’t die to the nuke and talked just a little bit longer, how would the rest of that conversation go” that isn’t just “Tommy kills Dream” even though that defeats the entire point of his character arc.
Unfortunately, even people who did watch the stream just took everything at face value without recognizing the nuances within their block people actions. ALSO. THE DREAM AND TOMMY AT THE END ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL DREAM AND TOMMY. THEY ARE COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT CHARACTERS TO REASSURE THAT THERE IS A SEASON TWO DSMP. STOP PUSHING THE AMNESIA NARRATIVE. LET THEM HAVE A NEW DYNAMIC.

I dislike how Dream’s escape was hyped up as this big thing, and the server was fucking hysterical, (with good reason) and then nothing happened? Like it’s been several months since Dream escaped and nobody has come looking for him? And why has nobody told the newer members what Dream’s done? My main problem with season 3 and 4 is the fact that so many arcs with great potential (the Niki and Jack nuke plot, egg arc, post red banquet fallout/Puffy villain arc/ just to name a few). Hell even the Las Nevadas plot line feels unfinished because we haven’t seen the whole aftermath. Is the country defunct? Did Quackity try to get revenge on Purpled? What happened to Slime that caused him to go into a catatonic state/die even though he had multiple lives? I do like the new content, exploring c!Sam’s flawed morality, The newest member’s lore, Sam bucket, the return of the egg. I just wish they’ed rap up the old lore. I really hope the Wilbur/Niki upcoming lore stream addresses the nuke incident, or at least the fact that a nuke was stolen from Snowchester.

The reason most of my buddies in this fandom are at least inniter-adjacent is because while I occasionally see c!Tommy apologists with bad c!Quackity takes, I have never seen a c!Tommy disliker with good c!Quackity takes.

People: his character is so sad :( he tries do good but is abandonned by everyone he teams up with, to the point now it seems the only allyship he can build is one of mutual benefit. He seeks justice but is always compared to a tyrant. Everyone keep villifying him and he ends up so very alone, without any friends, because he does the right thing no matter how cruel it seems.
me: haha yeah, isn't c!quackity such a sad character-
People: which is why c!techno is never wrong about anything. If you try to say he did bad stuff then clearly you don't know the character.
