Do you guys ever think about how (as far as we know) c!Tubbo arguably made the right choice by deciding to never open up to c!Ranboo... Because c!Ranboo (when Enderwalking) retains all his memories and works alongside c!Dream anyway. So although c!Tubbo doesn't know it, his paranoia is actually keeping him safe, because the less info c!Ranboo knows the less he has the ability to tell c!Dream... Not that c!Ranboo necessarily would, but it sucks that like... c!Tubbo probably beats himself up for not wanting to share anything with his sweet and loyal husband, not even knowing that sharing the wrong stray detail about c!Tommy could have caused something disastrous. Like c!Tubbo was right to be a closed book and that shit hurts to think about!!!
#i need Ranboo to explain cRanboo so bad.#one of the only things i care about anymore. pls just tell me why a version of cRanboo with all his memories WHICH BTW#HIS MEMORIES WOULD INCLUDE THE DISC FINALE. Why that version of cRanboo would willingly help cDream.#Even IF cDream went ''oh i wasnt really gonna kill Tubbo it was staged also its good that New Lmanberg was exploded by me''#and even IF cRanboo wasnt told why the prison tnt needed to be set off & therefore didnt know hed be hurting cTommy#how could he work with someone who he knows has hurt cTubbo like that. If he genuinely cared.#and i think about that a LOT a lot bc like. We see all these glimpses of cRanboo just... not listening to what cTubbo is saying.#the warning about cWilbur in ho16 is a good example but also just about history and Lmanberg in general... cRanboo sort of gives off the#vibe that he thinks he knows better than cTubbo does. That he thinks he knows what cTubbo needs and what's best for him#but also that he like... idk i just have thought about it a lot and worryingly i think he could become similar to c!Technoblade eventually.#Not in the ''violence is the only universal language'' way but in the way of like ''as soon as someone doesnt agree w my ideals and feels#differently than I do they have lost my respect and protection until they Prove themself and Earn it back'' type deal. not NOW i dont think#cRanboo is like that NOW but... Everyone always says ''cRanboo grow a backbone'' but he DID... While enderwalking.#ew!Ranboo is him with a backbone and apparently the him with a backbone does not care if he hurts his loved ones.#like cRanboo is part of the problem of people brushing aside cTubbo's grief and pain like it doesnt matter. cRanboo helping cDream has the#same energy as cJack trying to kill cTommy. this sort of ''he'll get over it'' mentality about cTubbo that assumes that just because he HAS#in the past been able to ''bounce back'' from indescribable loss that means things dont bother him or he can do it easily#so like. i do believe cRanboo isnt unsalvageable. i think the parts of him WE see are very much just misguided and not intentionally#hurtful. but sometimes i think abt Ranboo saying he was gonna make it so no one could be an apologist for cRanboo and I think like#what Memory does ew!Ranboo regaun that suddenly makes it fine for him to hurt his loved ones? for ''Dream Is The Reason'' to completely#disappear for him? is cDream offering him something he cant refuse or god forbid does ew!Ranboo just AGREE with him?#that to me is like. Once i know that i can be at peace. thats like one of the only things I'll be genuinely upset if it isnt explained#bc when i tell you it has been haunting me for like a year.#ok sorry for the rant and sorry boobers if i messed up some lore details lol#doodle.txt

concept: ghostboo trying to go directly to cdream to get revived
#was listening to still feel and had Ideas .#like once the joy of being dead wears off as he realizes all the people he loved did like him better when he was himself#he wants to figure out what the whole deal with being separated from his living self is about anyways#and keeps trying to get answers from xd and eventually goes to dream to get revived etc etc#but then he also has to deal with enderwalking more frequently when he is alive bc of dream fucking him over#like. tying in that he probably helped dream in the past because for whatever reason he felt like he was right to do so#and he thinks it would be right to bring his living self back even though it means exposing himself to dream more#for the record i dont think the others would hate him as a ghost. i think if he was around more often even tubbo would warm up eventually#but all he really thinks about is that they would want him alive again#and not really think about how they would end up missing the ghost too#so then there would be incentitive to explore that since tommy was the only one who really had a genuine connection to ghostbur-#-but then with ranboo it would increase understanding of. oh shit we're like Abandoning abandoning the ghost when we bring back the live-#-counterpart#at least with ppl like ghostboo and ghostbur where there is a separation#and then either its a situation of trying to get it so both can exist (which would be hard to pull off in mc-#-but would have cool themes and aesthetics to explore)#or just having the alive counterparts and ghosts merge together (brings a sense of finality to the themes already brought up-#-and can Also have some cool imagery)#mask mews#dsmp#anyways im working on the catboo doodle i prommy i just had to go to openhouse lol#ghostboo

Ranboo’s boundaries
Since I know some people really like to have a specific thread of boundaries, I thought I'd throw some together for Ranboo just for quick reference!
Ranboo's boundaries are not on a rule by rule basis, they prefer people use common sense. This list is not exhaustive.
Ranboo’s overall ask is to be kind! When you are interacting with people inside and out of the community, be kind first. Be good people and be respectful.
Don't do anything that would hurt Ranboo or anyone else in the community. That means no racism, antisemitism, ableism, homophobia/transphobia, sexism, general bigotry etc.!
If there’s something that ranboo has done that makes you uncomfortable, please call it out. Ranboo encourages being corrected and wants to know when he’s made mistakes. He is a human and he WILL make mistakes. They will always apologize and try to do better.
Ranboo is an adult and can speak for himself. if he has an issue with the way something is being done in the community, he will speak on it. especially when it comes to fanart, don’t harass artists on the specific ways they draw ranboo. If they’d had a problem with it previously they would have said something.
Again, Ranboo is an adult. You don’t have to baby them. He can swear and drink and stay up late like any other adult can. He knows how to take care of himself.
Ranboo also doesn’t need to be defended. People are allowed to not like him, and trying to fight people who don’t like him is unhealthy, pointless, and paints the community in a bad light. Uplift the good instead!
If someone is being weird or makes a mistake, don’t dogpile them. Politely correct them, and if they continue to push things block and move on.
Don’t mention Ranboo in places they aren’t relevant. Don’t chat hop to ask their friends about him, DM his friends to try to get in contact with them, just in general don’t view his friends as extensions of him. They are all incredibly talented people and doing that just hurts Ranboo and his friends because it makes them not want to make content together!
Ranboo is fine with all compliments as long as they aren’t explicit. they are fine with all gendered terms. He uses he/they pronouns and is nonbinary and gay. They aren’t okay with shipping.
Ranboo is strictly against AI content, including AI generated art and voice covers. Support artists!!
If you are intentionally going against these restrictions it will result in a ban in chat, which means a ban from watching all streams, as well as crossbans to all of their friends chats. Ranboo doesn’t ban on genuine mistakes, but if it’s repeated behavior their mods have full authority issuing bans.
Again, be kind. If you are kind, patient, and respectful, and you listen to criticism and try to be the best person you can be you are doing everything right! Happy boobing ❤️

I've been going through some shit irl but I'm finally starting to come back to writing because I genuinely love it and posting on here since it is my safe space!
line from this prompt list
warnings: friends-lovers, reader lives in the US, brief description of anxiety, the reader sends mixed signals, swearing, kinda angsty, happy end, super unedited!
Tumblr media
"No! That was such bullshit!"
The voice of Tommyinnit ran through the speakers of your computer causing you to let out a chuckle that you were the reason for his outburst.
You were playing Gang Beasts on stream with some of your closest friends, and you had grabbed Tommy's character and thrown him off the map by picking him up.
Laughter rang out amongst the group as the screen card popped up saying your username won. You cheered as everyone groaned but dispersed into 'ggs' then that's when everyone started to bid goodnight. You hadn't realized it had been four hours of streaming and playing games, showing the good time you were having with friends.
"Alright chat, that's gonna be it for me today! Please remember to click the follow button if you're new to stream that way you'll know when I go live! byeee!" You did your outro, quickly closed your stream down, and logged out of Twitch.
It was an uneventful stream session, thank god. You’ve noticed more and more how your chat gets when you even mention wilburs name.
“you logging off completely y/n/n?” Ranboos voices asks through your earbuds.
“No, I’ll play a few more rounds if you guys are down,” you respond.
“HELL YEAH!” Tommy boasted. “IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS THIS TIME Y/N/N!”
“Oh, it’s on gremlin child!” you replied.
Wilbur listened to this conversation on his end, letting out a chuckle. He honestly doesn’t know why you make him laugh so easily. Anytime you threw a genius comment toward Tommy that was deemed insulting, or calling him a name Wilbur fell for you more and more. If only he had the guts to tell you.
You as well wouldn’t admit it but every time Wilbur laughed all you could feel was butterflies punching your stomach and a smile that made your cheeks hurt. You were also falling hard for him.
After about another fifteen minutes, Tommy and Ranboo had bid their goodbyes for the night and ended their calls. You were left in call with Wilbur, the silence could be cut with a knife.
Knowing him for two years was hard. Wilbur was everything to you. He was funny, smart, charming, and overall made you feel comfortable. Something you thought you’d never have with anyone. Having to only talk on call and video made things easier for you. On call you could hide your blushes and smiles from him, but not from your chat who caught every interaction between you and Wilbur when you streamed. The constant ’Wilbur x name confirmed?’ tweets and comments in your twitch chat were recently repetitive and you wondered when you became such a beacon of attention. It gave you such anxiety to have all eyes on you when you wanted to spend time with your best friend.
It was getting obnoxious to the point where you debated making a tweet to get the fans to stop shipping you both, even if you were dating it was no one’s business. Still you never dared to say anything out of fear of stans coming at you in anyway. You didn’t need to draw more unwanted attention to yourself.
“You logging off? it’s getting pretty late for you,” you spoke up.
“Yeah, we both should, by the way what times your flight tomorrow?”
Right, you were flying less than eight hours from now to finally meet your friends inperson. You all had planned this for months, booking hotels and flights, making a whole deal about it. Then you really wouldn’t be able to hide from him for a whole week.
“Around seven-thirty,” you reply.
He hums.
“I’ll let you get some rest, see you tomorrow night darling,” his voice purposely going lower on the ‘darling’ part that you almost didn’t catch it, making your knees go weak.
“N-night Will,” you stutter, end call and slump back into your desk chair trying to calm your racing heart. Meanwhile Wilbur all the way across the ocean in Brighton has a smile plastered across his lips.
Tumblr media
About a plane ride, a train ride and car ride later, you are stood in the hotel lobby in Brighton waiting for a late Tommy and Wilbur to arrive. You were super nervous to meet them. Having only been friends for what was a short time, it felt like you knew them for years, so why was this so scary?
You debated in your mind about texting them to see if they were close by, but you didn’t want to come off as annoying and impatient. You wanted to make a good first impression, but again these were your friends. Why were you shaking with nerves?
You fiddled with your thumb’s absentmindedly until you felt a pair of hands on your shoulders, causing you to jump out of your skin. You spin around to be met with a cackling Tommy who is clucking his stomach from laughing so hard at your reaction.
“Fucking gremlin child,” you huffed under your breath, not realizing the evident blood rushing to your cheeks from being startled so easily.
“It’s nice to hear you say that in person,” a deep voice said from behind Tommy. You shifted your eyes to see a very tall Wilbur, who was wearing his round glasses pushed up his nose and curly hair fluffed to the side.
His dark sweater selves rolled up to revel his arms tucked into his side as he gazed at you with a soft smile. Finally after two years of being separated by seas, your best friend was standing right in front of you. It was surreal to say the least.
You laugh and jump forward to embrace him. The number of times you’d tease him over-call about his height made you regret your words. He towers over you as he bends down to your level to give you a long awaited hug. His arms are soft, yet firm as they wrap around your back and cage you into his embrace.
You both pull away, both grinning from ear to ear. He looks down at you with a hint of something behind his eyes, he seems to be genuinely happy to finally meet you in person. which makes you blush at the thought of him looking forward to this moment since you told him you wanted to come here. You're quickly brought out of your moment when Tommy speaks up behind you.
"So he gets a hug and I don't?!" his tone slightly offended.
"Yup, cause you're annoying," you bring a hand up to flick his forehead, causing him to let out a irritated noise. you had only just met him in person but something compelled you to do that. Maybe it was just a reason for you to break the ice and it was working because you all broke out into giggles.
“Im just kidding Tom,” you motion him into a hug.
Wilbur just stood observing the entire interaction between his two best friends. He was thrilled to finally have you here, he couldn't wait to show you all his favorite places, hang out, and get to know better in person. Finally.
The two boys had managed to drag you to the beach, and even though it was freezing Tommy insisted on going to the arcade to try and win another 'vlog gun'. After suffering through loosing a few games, Wilbur managed to win you a little stuffed cat that you promptly named Mr Whiskers.
It was endearing to watch him struggle at most of the games so he could get enough tickets. It was all worth it in his eyes to embarrass himself by losing ski-ball to you, twice, he saw the evident blush on your cheeks and the look you gave him. As if he hung the stars in the sky just for you. It made his chest hurt in a good way.
The rest of the night went smoothly for the most part. More and more, Wilbur had been getting more touchy with you. Though you didn’t mind it at all, maybe he didn’t realize how much he was putting his hand on you as you walked side by side as he led you through crowds. How he held doors open for you. It was sweet.
Maybe he was doing it just to be nice. That small voice in the back of your head telling you thats all it was. Because thats what friends do.
Eventually, the three of you met up with Ranboo and Charlie. They were just how they were online, which made meeting them a whole lot better. Walking around Brighton, making inside jokes and teasing each other. You hadn't been this happy in a while. You can remember the last time you genuinely enjoyed yourself, your friends were the product of that. You were fortunate to have found them when you did. Quarantine was hard on you, much like the rest of the world. So when you were invited to join a group game call, you couldn't pass up the opportunity. That night, something had clicked between you and Wilburt specifically. Then you started to join more calls with the gang and the rest was history.
Sometime in the night, you found yourself walking behind with Wilbur by your side chatting about nothing in particular. Until the comfortable silence filled the air between you, you took a moment to take in the nightlife of Brighton. The street lamps guide your way through the beachside and the pubs on the corner were starting to fill up. As if the city was somehow more alive at night.
"I'm really glad you came," Wilbur speaks, sincerely.
You stop your wide-eyed gaze to look at him and smile softly at him.
"I am too," You gush. "I'm honestly considering moving here,” Now he’s smiling.
Wilbur's brain starts to go a million miles a second. His heart leaped at the thought of you living closer to him. Seeing you in person everyday seemed like a dream come true. He begins to slow his step and a frown replaces your smile. Your own thoughts running rampant now, assuming you might've freaked him out by voicing that you wanted to move here so soon after meeting him in person. Maybe it made him uncomfortable. it was too soon to say something that bold. You had only just met him in person today.
"Listen, Y/N..."
You stopped and your brain got the best of you with his tone. You shouldn't have said anything like that to him. It was too soon.
“I don’t want to sound cheesy, but I need you to know how I feel.”
Oh... OH.
You knew what this was leading to. Realizing why he was acting the way he was all day.
"I like you, more than like you. You're funny, beautiful, smart, and everything I could've hoped for in a best friend. But I can't keep pretending I don't think of you when we aren't talking, or how when I look at you my chest hurts."
Wilbur liked you. Really liked you. You would jump for joy and shout to the rooftops about how much you reciprocate his feelings but something in the back of your mind told you not to. The doubt in your mind from yourself, both your fans online judging. It made you slowly start to panic. You felt as though you weren’t good enough for him.
You saw the aftermath of when his fans shipped him and Niki together. It almost ruined their friendship. You didn’t want that.
"Please say something?" he stops his rant to notice you are staring up at him with blank eyes.
"I-uh," you stutter. "can we maybe not do this now?"
His face falls and it instantly crushes you with regret. His disappointment shows as he gives you a forced smile and nods.
"Y-yeah, let's catch up with everyone, Tommy wants to do this big stream at his place." he gestures for you to move along with him, all while you feel horrible for doing this.
You wish you could take back what you said. You know you've hurt him, It's painfully obvious when he doesn't talk to you for the rest of the walk. You glance at him a few times but he keeps his eyes forward and stoic.
If only you didn’t let your anxiety get the best of you. You had to talk to him at some point, but for now you pushed it aside. The rest of the group didn’t seem to notice the sudden tension between the two of you, if they did nothing was remarked about it.
As you continued the journey to Tommys flat, you and Wilbur still walked silently side by side. With what little courage you had, you reached out your hand and held his in a moment of truce. Giving it a gentle squeeze with your fingers to seal the deal that you would talk later. You heard his soft inhale at the contact and he squeezes back. Your shoulders drop from the weight of tension being lifted off. Maybe, just maybe this ment this conversation wasn’t over.
Tumblr media
Back at Tommy’s, the monitor in his cramped bedroom with everyone packed together like sardines; shows the twitch chat flashing by with viewers comments.
“WELCOME BACK TO THE STREAM EVERYONE!” Tommy shouted causing you to hold your ear in slight pain.
“God Tommy, could you be anymore loud?” you wince.
“Look who’s here chat!” he gestured to you with his hands, ignoring your complaints. You waved at the webcam as chat went crazy. He introduced everyone else as they all broke out into a chorus of conversation.
Wilbur was mostly quiet on your left, an occasional sarcastic comment made here and there. You could practically feel his eyes buring into the side of your head. Hopping chat wasn’t noticing how he was looking at you, your eyes shifting to your lap to fidget with your fingers.
Out of view, Wilbur reached over and took your hand picking at the skin around your nails. You had stopped your nervous tick and opted for squeezing his hand. Nobody seemed to notice the sudden shift in both your behavior.
Suddenly you felt tense, the feeling of having everyone’s eyes on you made your mind start to spiral.
Letting go of Wilburs hand, you quickly had excused yourself and walked out of Tommys room and into the kitchen.
Everyone had a mix of concerned and worried expressions as they watched you leave the room but didn’t say anything about it. Wilbur had followed you in pursuit. He found you in the kitchen hyperventilating Your panic had taken over and now your lungs were paying the price for the burning sensation from not breathing.
“it's okay,” he took your face into his hands and held you. “just follow my breaths.
he took a breath in, and you followed.
When you came to your senses, Wilbur had asked you what was wrong and you just began to cry. Everything came rushing down on you.
“Im sorry. I-Im sorry I shot you down earlier, Im sorry for h-hurting you. I-i,” you stuttered over yourself. Wilbur shakes his head at you. He probably thinks you’re such a mess.
“I don’t understand, I know you like me too, so I don’t understand why you rejected me after I poured my heart out to you. Then you go and hold my hand while we're walking.'
Wilbur was right. Playing with his feelings was selfish and cruel. He was completely in the right to question you. You were practically flirting with one another all day, and then you shut down his advances of trying to open your relationship.
“I do wanna be with you.” you sniff. “I'm just really scared.”
"Why darling? It's just me, your silly old Wil." he pokes at your sides causing you to let out a giggle. Your best friend, who looked at you with the prettiest chocolate eyes, who stayed on call with you all night when you couldn't sleep. The only person you told your deepest fears and dreams to.
You take a shaky inhale as you begin to explain. "I don't wanna ruin our friendship, we have something I've never experienced with anyone else in my life. I care about you too much to let me be a distraction in your life, and I am scared that the fans will-"
Wilbur interrupts you with a hand on your arm.
"The fans? darling who cares about that, I care way too much about you to even care about what strangers think. It's no one's business who I, or you for that matter have a relationship with." he clarified. "I love you and nothing or no one will ever change that."
Those three words made your heart leap in your throat.
"Y-you l-love me?" you stutter in disbelief.
"Yes, of course I do."
Tears roll down the apples of your cheeks as you lean forward to engulf Wilbur into another hug. His arms wrapped around your back reciprocating your embrace. your face buried in his neck as you inhale his cologne and your tears dampen his skin.
"I love you too Wil," you whisper.
He squeezes you closer to him in return and this time you don't hold yourself back...

If you guys are as big faggots as I am about Charlie singing, he has a stream planned at some point (date not set yet) doing a Karaoke Stream with Baghera! So aside from the clips he’s posting on Twitter we’re in store for the biggest bisexual bomb event of the century. If you want to listen to Charlie sing some more however, I’d recommend you check out these!
The Hole In My Heart - A Song Sung by the Fictional Band, Gillion and the Tidestriders! Made for the JRWI Riptide campaign by Condi!
My Boyband Application - an edited down upload of his Karaoke stream from a few years back
Charlie’s Inferno : Charlie Has No Idea What the Lyrics Are - Charlie tries to sing Charlie’s Inferno on stream, it’s not the best. I love it deeply.
Erectile Dysfunction : The Musical - During a TommyInnit YLYL; Charlie, James Marriott, Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit sing a whole fucking number about learning to cum, to Finally get Ranboo to Laugh.
I’m Still Stranding : Charlie Slimecicle Cover - clipped from his Death Stranding Video. It’s a genuinely good rendition he sings really well.
Juanaflippa - We all know the Ballard for his daughter, but I wanted to put it in here anyways, because it truly is Incredibly Fucking Good
Jort Storm - Another Certified Charlie Banger, Made for an intro bit in JRWI, it’s taken the nation (and most of the qsmp members) by storm!
Fireflies : Slimecicle Cover - Just. Yeah just listen to it
Holding Out for a Hero : Slimecicle Cover - mostly kazoo tbh. But still really fucking funny
The Baghera and Charlie QSMP Tallulah Karaoke Bar Stream Vod - They went crazy, other members of QSMP were present! But you know how it is!
These aren’t all of them! Just ones I know off the top of my head, and I’m not including Snapchat videos during qsmp meet-ups because it would take me too long but here!

PROPAGANDA:
Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss:
Listen to me closely. There is no other alliance on the whole Traffic series as based as them. They did EXACTLY what they set out to do. Did they Gaslight? Oh fuck yeah. Did they Gatekeep? You better believe it. Did they Girlboss??? By the good grace of god they did!!!!!!! They are simultaneously the blueprint for every trio of mean girls in a 2000s high school movie and the most genuinely devoted alliance on the whole server. They trust and respect and love each other in ways beyond mortal comprehension. Vote them please I'm begging you.
They were an absolute powerhouse! Also also, Cleo finding herself a group of people who were properly loyal to her after being betrayed for the healing arc. Scott telling them he was the boogieman and refusing to kill even if it meant going red. They're just so hhhhhh
cleo is gaslight (setting things on fire), scott is gatekeep (protecting the base), and pearl is girlboss (girlbossing).
Quite possibly the most ride or die alliance of Last Life. Consistently sharing lives, helping each other get boogey kills, refusing to hurt each other… they were just such a feel good team up for the entire series :] and then they kicked Pearl out in double life :]
Listen they are the EPITOME of ride or die. They love each other so much during that time. Do you hear me. Dear God they are the most precious
Best faction on Last Life. Set the template for pretty much everything Scott and Cleo do together, and set us up for 5AM Pearl.
Boreal Trio:
look. look okay so youve got two battle hardened at least mildly immortal warrior brothers-in-arms slash best friends slash partners for life, and then youve got this anxious, queer wet cat of an enderman who lives in their shed. oooh my god this is gonna be so incoherent im so sorry. ranboo was doing soooo awful when doomsday happened and both techno and phil immediately went him. that one. he needs to be safe and supported and away from all of this he should come with us. only if he wants to. and he did want to!! he was soo anxious but he got more confident!! none of them are great at expressing their feelings verbally (techno is but he also does other things) so they do it in other ways! phil rushing over as soon as he hears ranboo CLOSE to water because he knows it hurts him! techno moving the prison break up from 'some time soon i guess' to 'now now we are leaving now we are doing this RIGHT NOW' as SOON as ranboo gets detained!! avenging his ghost, throwing any and all hesitation about tubbo away to work with him because that was what ranboo wanted, that was what he asked. always checking in and making sure he was okay. all three of them are soooo dysfunctional but i love them so much. think of the mansion raid streams!! techno and ranboo off adventuring, phil taking care of the animals and getting up at 3am real time to trigger their stasis chambers!! they care about each other all so fucking much and they are a family! please vote for them i will be very sad otherwise :(

Hellooo, I was wondering if you could do MCYT with an S/O who has ADHD? (Mostly hyperfixates on horror games, etc.) I personally have a bad habit of walking around till my legs are sore (my leg has been sore for the past three days please help I can't get rid of this energy ahh-) and how MCYT would react to that/stop Y/N from. Doing that lol
HELP THIS IS SO REAL BAHAHHAHABA ; thank you for the request 🫶🫶 ; sorry if anything seems a little wrong, I'm kinda looking into if I have adhd but obv idk and I'm not diagnosing myself, but I obviously am not diagnosed so I don't know the full ins and outs and I know it's a spectrum, so uh yeah 👍 hopefully I did good lol
MCYT ; ADHD shenanigans
includes ; tommyinnit, tubbo, ranboo, badlinu, nihachu & quackity
warnings ; language
masterlist
Tumblr media
TOMMYINNIT
he'll walk into your stream, sit down, look at your screen, then blankly stare at you when he realizes what you're playing
"Dude. are you streaming FNAF again?"
you nod with a smile "yupppp"
he spends the rest of your stream talking to chat and trying to scare you more
you're just talking about the lore and shit and he's loosely hanging onto it LMAO
if you're just like pacing around the house he'll look up at you like "bro you okay?"
will genuinely join in as well, he's always got the energy
he doesn't mean to enable like hurting yourself to a point, but once he realizes he is kind of enabling it he'll immediately stop
"sit down, here, skip leg day for once, focus on those noodle arms of yours"
"says you! the fuck?"
TUBBO
he'll walk into your bedroom for the first time in like a month and just see posters and little trinkets and merch of your new fixation and be like "christ, man"
"I'm a little hyperfixated"
"I see that. also considering the 150 hours worth of streams you've put into FNAF, yeah..."
he gets you a vr headset and buys you the fnaf vr games.
he doesn't understand how you have so much energy but it's whatever
"dude, sit down, your legs are gonna fall off, you've been pacing for like three hours! drink some water at least"
"tubbo, I can't! I have too much energy and I can't get rid of it"
that commences three hours of wrestling in the living room 💀🙏
RANBOO
let's you rant about your fixations and the lore and whatnot
I mean they won't deny that the Blair Witch Project video game is really good
they even buy you posters of the Blair Witch Project movie and video game (we don't talk about the movies after the first...)
even gets you merch off the official game site too (if that exists? I'm not sure istg there was merch tho)
they start to get a little fixated on it too considering they love hearing about the lore and theories from you and stuff
they even play it on stream and dedicate it to you
"thanks for the content y/n"
when you're running through the house, he'll race with you for a while before finding some other ways for you to release energy without making yourself sore
at one point he just gives you coffee that way you'll crash and burn after a few hours
I mean at least you don't feel like your legs are about to pop off your body
FREDDIE BADLINU
invested in the resident evil lore because of you
"I saw this and thought of you" AND ITS A LEON KENNEDY EDIT LMFAOOO
I mean yeah
loves hearing you rant about the games and everything, he could listen to you talk for hours
when you're all strung up on energy he also enables it without realizing at first
when he can tell it's more than just being energetic he'll help you find ways to calm down
if need be, he'll read to you, instant sleep I swear
or when he starts talking you'll be fully invested in his words
"yknow, Google listed among us as a horror game and I really cannot-"
NIKI NIHACHU
the amount of dead by daylight merch and the amount of money that you've spent on it is kinda concerning
but she loves listening to you rant about how the kill animations are so awesome and about new maps and characters and dlcs
I mean it's your current fixation, of course she'd listen to every single word you'd have to say
she even plays with you on stream a lot as well
when you're strung up on energy, she'll take you out for a run, you're like a dog on a leash though because she's not trying to lose you
"niki, come on! I wanna see the water snakes!"
"I'm coming, I can't sprint like you do, darling!"
QUACKITY
"of all the games, why is five nights at freddy's the one you're fixated on?"
he loves hearing you rant and explain lore and theories to him tho
genuine love language
he'll even play it on stream with you
"and the purple guy basically killed all the kids, and the kids basically scared him into the springlock suit and it literally killed him so he possesses that suit now-"
he'll just joke about the amount of energy you have
like Ranboo, will serve you coffee so you can crash and burn considering you end up begging him to help you

I’m sorry to dump this in your ask box but I feel genuinely sick thinking about how much support Wilbur got whilst doing this to Shelby. The thought of biting someone until they use a safe word and then continuing until they scream makes my skin crawl. And then thinking about all of these things that everyone just laughed off because we thought it was just like haha a fun story time or interactions between friends like him stamping on Tommys hand or the fact that he told that story about throwing an apple at technos bad arm and techno’s dad literally shouted at will after because of it or Niki talking on stream when will was there and him emphasising how much stronger he is than her like I actually feel sick I could cry. It feels wrong to know that we I watched these things play out or listened to him tell these stories and thought nothing of it. I dread to think what else could have happened with other people he was close to like Phil and Charlie’s etc especially after both Freddie and bill replied to his tweet about how they watched him manipulate and intimidate friends. It’s all just fucking awful
anon please dont feel bad about venting in my inbox, it is always open to anyone who needs to scream at the void without their name being attached to it, ESPECIALLY about shit like this
and i genuinely feel you on all of this, because we were all blindsided, in a way. we trusted the people around him saying "he did this and it was just a funny thing" because they seemed fine with it, without even considering that they could have been made to believe it was ok when it wasnt. if WE are rewiring and re contextualising how those interactions look like on hindsight, i cant imagine how that must feel for them
last night i got an ask that i didnt publish because i didnt want to take away from the main conversation happening, since we should all be focused on supporting shelby rn. but this one person mentioned how in the last batch of sorryboys videos there's at least two counted times in which wilbur grabs phil's face and pretends to kiss him in a way that they [the anon] now see as way too forceful to just be a bit, and we were all laughing about it because phil said it didnt matter and it was part of the bit but like. with all the context of who wilbur was and how he acted, and knowing his lack of care for boundaries or anything like that.... i cant personally see that now and feel comfortable. was it a bit for wilbur?
and im just a third party. im an audience member. what about the people who LIVED that
like, finding out shit like this LITERALLY shatters your perception of reality, the memories you had of someone else are suddenly fake or are now put in a different light entirely
ranboo did speak about it a little on their stream last night tho, and asked for people to be aware that tnose closest to will are going through a lot and to please remember to be kind and understand that it's not an easy said and done thing for everyone
so im hoping it will all be ok in the near-ish future. hopefully.

being childhood best friends with cc!ranboo would include...
synopsis: what it was like growing up best friends with ranboo
tw: none!
listen to: count on me by bruno mars, twin size mattress by the front bottoms, the best day by taylor swift
you probably met in your early school days, most likely first grade or so (you'd be like 6 for those of you who don't go to american public school!)
you'd become friends pretty fast, always picking each other during partner work time and playing with each other on the playground
you probably poked at worms and drew each other little pictures 😭😭😭😭😭
growing up your parents knew him and their parents knew you, so you'd always spend time at each other's houses
summers were always the best because you got to spend nearly every day together, always swimming at his house or riding your bikes around your neighborhood
when you were twelve, you got into a pretty big fight and didn't talk to each other for almost a month. it was the longest you'd ever been apart, and you both cried when you finally made up. your parents were extremely worried about the two of you
when you got to be about 13, your body changed quickly, and they were always the first to hype you up when you felt down about yourself, and they always stuck up for you if you got bullied or received unwanted attention
he became a personal guard dog for you 😭
they'd literally just intimidate people with their height and that's all it took
you were his support system when discovering his gender and sexuality and they will never ever forget that
you're genuinely their soulmate. even if not romantically, you're two halves of one whole, and you both know it deep down
you're the first person he goes to when he blows up online
you're in full support, but you want to remain completely anonymous and uninvolved
you don't want their clout, and they love you for that
everyone around you thinks you guys are dating, and you don't make a big deal out deal of denying it, just a simple "no, they're just my best friend!"
as ran continues to grow online, you remain entirely out of the public eye for a couple years
in late 2022, he introduces you to his fanbase and they love you!!
after that you still stay pretty private, only really joining for a couple streams and videos here and there
chat always asks about you
they love to tell stories about you on stream
when he moves to the uk, you cry harder than you ever have, but you understand that he sort of needs to for his career path, and you're in support
they promise to still call and text you every day
before he leaves though, you guys kinda have an "oh, duh" moment where you're like,, wait. you're an adult, too,, you could literally just go with him.....
so you do! you move to the uk with them!
your parents all see you off and you all cry together, but they know you'll be alright because you have each other to lean on
eventually you're introduced to aimsey, bill, tommy, tubbo (im delulu), freddie, and others such as wilbur, james, ash, phil, and charlie
you are an official member of cricket crew
sometimes you guys will go back to america and visit your hometown in california, driving together down your old town's streets, windows down and music up, reminiscing
they will cuddle you or hold your hand (/p) if you ever want or need them to
ceo of piggyback rides.
he knows you so well that you don't even have to ask
tesco trips. y'all never have to argue about who is going to do the shopping, you always go together because it's fun. hanging on the shopping buggy, riding it through the aisles, buying a bunch of things that you most definitely do not need
they 100% spoil you. they will buy you anything and everything, just because they wanted to. you try to do the same as much as you can, but he always wins because they have that streamer money 😔
you both have so many stories and so much blackmail on each other
and photos... my god, the pictures yall have........
birthday gifts are never serious, you always get each other gag gifts and inside joke related gifts
christmas is when you literally spoil each other
they always bring home your favorite snacks when they're out
if you're a gamer, they're introducing you to new games they found and learning how to play them with you
if you're not a gamer, he's teaching you how to play his favorites just for fun!
if they get too scared playing a horror game they'll call you into the room and make you sit with them and be scared too :P
you guys have this sixth sense, when something is wrong, you just... know. ran's upset? you don't even have to talk before you're already hugging him. you're sad? he's leaving tommy's house right now because he can't explain it, there's just a disturbance in the force
whenever anyone asks how you guys met/how long you've been friends, he always sounds so proud when he says "oh, i've known them my whole life!"
y'all are so sweet i swear to god

okay, in my interpretation, cars dont exist in the dsmp universe. but if they did, the syndicate would definitely have a van. like those vans from the 60s/70s, you know what im talking about. those hippy vans. phil would drive, techno would have the shot gun, and everyone else would be making chaos in the back. everyone gets terrified when techno takes over driving cause phil has to sleep.
THIS IS SO REAL OMFG
i also dont think cars exist but this is so true.
i imagine it was Phil’s van to begin with, partially because he’s old but also because he gives the hippiest vibes out of all of them.
they go on their silly little road trips hehe
techno is asleep or reading until he has to start driving
niki is on her phone (which, i imagine if they have cars, this is somewhat of a modern au in a way), listening to music, or sleeping. she’s very chill.
connor is in the very back because he doesnt stop asking “are we there yet?” he doesn’t even do it out of genuine curiosity, he just wants to be a shithead.
ranboo is also on his phone, but he has to pee like every 20 minutes and keeps (very timidly) asking to go to a rest stop.
phil cranks the music (80s dad rock, naturally) a little bit louder every time someone complains and keeps driving.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD okay.
so i watched the 8 hour jack stream(jesus) aka watched genloss top to bottom again and listened to his theories and stuff(i really vibe with the "kidnapped as kids" angle more now) and started thinking about some theories he and chat mentioned and.
now im thinking with like. ok its probably a pretty common theory, this post was what prompted this additional idea of mine actually, but ill explain it a bit: the theory that, since sneeg and charlie can come back over and over again, and they have referenced like, refusing to do the cooking challenge in ep 1, and how charlie was playing the mouse trap but ate the cage, they have obviously done the same kind of scenes we saw ranboo do, right. and then in the Announcement video we see the same kind of "missing poster" type headshots of them, with the caption "Found them!"
Tumblr media
i dont remember exactly where it was confirmed that showfall made the missing person posters, but like. yeah. these images are for missing posters like ranboo had. and with sneeg being caught by the security in ep 3, he had tried to escape, just like ranboo and charlie. and i feel like this wasnt the first or last time they have tried this!
also, during that screenshot the announcer says "our hero will meet a cast of crazy characters, who you may recognize", aka the audience has seen these "actors" before in other things! this is their first live show but what have they made before...?
then, with one of the Very first lines Ranboo says in the first episode, "it wasn't supposed to be like this"... showfall/hetch made it seem like this is ranboos first show and he's being tested for how well he does as The Hero.
I dont think what we saw is Ranboos first time starring in a showfall production.
its the first live thing like the announcement video said but i think hetch lied when he talked about how its a test, i think Ranboo's been here at least a few go arounds, if not tens/hundreds/thousands of times. WHICH MEANS in the end when he gets his memories back... theres an infinite amount of possibility of things they could remember for what they have been made to do in the past :) Bc remember, while this is comedy->horror, it was still relatively tame and non-explicit (at least by my personal standards?) so it is quite possible they have been in more R rated horror stuff, slashers, gore, actual saw, some kind of even worse psychological horror things, but also that they might have had incredibly good experiences like love and joy and community and anything positive too, and to remember all that in a rush... oh boy so i believe it is a circular reproduction, maybe they run through scenes repeatedly over and over while perfecting every little detail and getting different takes of genuine emotion but every time Real and a First experience... some kind of purgatory(omg christian hell reference) or endless torture or such...
ok that got really maybe unneccessarily angsty so heres my other thought:
i love me a fucking colour theory and colour symbolism! it bothered me a bit how like. in the promo game we get ranboo, then green friend/the villain(obviously charlie, tho the villain part still confuses me a Bit since its not quite true?), the blue friend/the taken(obvs sneeg) and then the red stranger/the saviour. and like it would logically follow that the red is hetch right?
jack when theorising said the titles are self descriptive, which i buy into, at least for the first episode context, charlie is the villain role, sneeg was taken(put in a cage and later snatched by the sharkciclester), and hetch was trying to help and save ranboo from this situation! but then in the second ep we also have red puzzler, and red niki? i WISH niki had. any kind of bigger role to build a Saviour type off of her but i dont think she does :( the puzzler is an option, since they make it seem like the puzzler tries to save ranboo? and thats actually a whole other thought like. since we know hetch was not actually helping ranboo, was the puzzler Genuinely helping them, and somehow showfall found out and killed him?? idk ANYWAYS that colour coding falling apart a bit made me think about how ranboo is also red!! rgb trio yknow??
if the titles are self descriptive... well i dont think Ranboo really felt like The Hero much, especcially not in the end...
I think Ranboo is actually meant to be the Saviour.
Esp with the jesus coding! I believe this kind of thing has happened many times before, with sneeg/charlie/ranboo/others realizing that shits fucked, and trying to escape, only to be caught and put back in the production. I think Ranboo(main character syndrome) was in a previous iteration the Saviour, who tried to help sneeg and charlie and others get out of there, to save them, save everyone. but they failed. got captured. once again waking up again with a "it wasn't supposed to be like this..."
and so the cycle continues, and the content wheel keeps spinning.
(ive only been in tumblr tags so feel free to link me any other ppl who arrived at the same conclusion)

This might be a lot to ask, but do you have, like, a monarchy restoration timeline? A general outline? Your comics are just always so cool.
okay I'm gonna fully reveal myself here - there was never any proper outline
one of the great things about working in a snippet format, with relaying the story out of order through in medias res comics or single pieces, there was never any pressure to make a fully canonical order of events or space things out. I could add things if I felt like they missed somewhere, hell, the whole romantic aspect of DNF can be ignored if you are not into it. I was influenced by a lot of other AUs of the time, like guard dog or aeri's revive book!Dream au, where things were vague and canon could change if people wanted it to change in a way
the overall idea for the first arc, though, was gonna be approximately this:
- Dream is taken to Kinoko and recovers for an unspecified amount of time - George and Sapnap start fighting over his presence and they realise that something is wrong. both try to ignore it and come up with different justifications for why it's okay to treat Dream the way they do - sometime after Dream's recovery, Karl returns from his time travel journey. Sapnap, worried about Karl possibly turning Dream in, tries to ease Karl into knowing about Dream's presence and finds out Karl doesn't remember Dream At All except for some early days minor conflicts. Sapnap then proceeds to lie to him and manipulate him into helping keep Dream safe - all the while, there is a search for Dream ongoing in the mainlands. Sapnap joins it to keep up appearances and works with Punz - Dream struggles trying to pull himself together while being constantly surveilled by George and Sapnap. he can't exactly go with his plan while they are around, he doesn't fully trust them after everything that happened. cue angst and arguing and everyone being absolutely horrible to each other - things get worse as things go on because the tensions are high and everyone is anxious. Dream, desperate to get Sapnap to listen, snaps about how he has no idea what he could even do to get Sapnap to listen to him at all. Sapnap tells him he might start by returning the crown to George. through Sapnap's pressure and George's much gentler but much more manipulative prodding, he gives in - predictably enough things are still not great but Sapnap gives Dream the benefit of doubt and listens to what he has to say - that eventually leaves to Dream revealing more and more about the prison and in the end revealing more secrets from the revive book as the Dream Team finally start pulling themselves back together
and that would be the end of the first arc! which would be marked by Sapnap revealing the death book to Dream and saying that he wants to make up for all the things he did to Dream while he was in Kinoko!
there were of course some side stories, like Dream and Tina becoming friends as was hinted at in one of the comics, or Niki finding out about Dream staying in Kinoko and reporting to the Syndicate, prompting Techno to come investigate (he knew about Dream being there but since Niki insisted he decided to come talk to the homeless teletubby. it was gonna be part funny part genuine and wholesome.) then, of course, there was the whole Karl plot, and the Punz plot, and a little bit more of DreamXD meddling and trying to get George's attention all for himself.
there were also plans for a second arc to the story that I have only few vague plans for. like Dream confronting Sam, Bad and Ant at some point about his treatment. (Sam was going to lose all his canon lives one at a time to each member of the Dream Team, actually :D) as one of my old sketches suggests, there would be a confrontation with Quackity, in which Sapnap would stand in between Q and Dream and take Dream's side in the conflict. Dream was going to revive Ranboo and there was going to be a full Endersmile Worked Together The Whole Time thing. also a Dream and Foolish allyship. somewhere.
I wanted to involve a whole lot more characters and I was always reminded of Someone by people in the tags/asks that I forgot about - these tags and asks helped shape a lot of the story
the second arc is a lot more Vague Nothing than the first one so I can't really add much lol

// tw wilbur soot, mention of abuse
hey everyone, i was holding off on making a post about this until an official statement was made by wilbur, and one has so here we are.
if you don’t know, in the past week, shubble had a stream discussing her experiences in an abusive relationship, and a lot of people were speculating that wilbur was her abuser. a lot of valid evidence was put forth, and wilbur released a statement today as a sort of apology.
thanks to the help of one of my friends who has been updating me on the situation, i read his statement. this did confirm the allegations made against him, and i personally think he made his statement more about himself than about admitting and apologizing for his wrongdoing, which i personally think was really shitty to do.
i want to preface this by saying that i 100% support shubble in this situation, and i am always going to support victims of abuse.
now, what will i be doing in the future? as much as i enjoy his content, i will not be watching his videos anymore, nor will i listen to his/lovejoy’s music or post anything more about/in relation to him. i’m still deciding on whether or not i will delete all posts i’ve made about him as well.
i don’t know what i’ll do about the sorry boys yet because a) to me, it’s more of a group collaboration than just a thing about him and b) because there was one episode i was looking forward to in season three, but just because of one of ranboo’s roles in the video. i also do find their videos genuinely entertaining, but still i don’t know.
on the matter of sorry boys, i also don’t think that they will be making any more content, seeing as ranboo has already unfollowed wilbur. either they stop making videos all together, or wilbur leaves the group. i hope for the latter, because again, i genuinely enjoy their content, but it’s not about what i want.
long story short, i’m not supporting wilbur. i am supporting shubble and i hope she receives all of the support she deserves.
thank you all, stay safe.

Full transcript of Ranboo's latest stream
Figured I might as well post it here too as I'm on Tumblr now anyway haha. Interesting first post to make I guess. /lh
Here is the full transcript of Ranboo's stream regarding racism within the community. I left out some stuttering and breaks, but apart from that it should be a complete transcript.
-----------------------------
Just saying this now, chat is going to be off simply because I don't want people going in here and be like "Oh you don't have to talk about this", it's not to stop any discussion or to like prevent any feedback it's simply so that people actually listen. It's the same as why there is gonna be no facecam as well. People can just focus on the topic and listen.Another reason facecam is off is because I don't think that I would be able to get the message out in the best way if there was facecam and I want to make sure that the message is as clear as possible, which again is why I'm probably gonna be pausing throughout intervals as well, just to make sure I'm wording everything correctly as well.
Now, you may be wondering what this stream is about, so let me give you guys a little bit of context in case there is anyone that just genuinely had no idea what's been going on over the past bit. So essentially what's been happening is BIPOC individuals have been experiencing racism from my community. And it's been in the form of either threads sent, or just general harassment as well. And it's been an issue for a bit. I know that I've talked about it a couple of times in the past, but those times weren't worded in the best way as well as they allowed for people to have some sort of wiggle room or like "Oh but it's ok if". It's not ok if and if you're thinking "oh but it's ok you don't really have to do this" that's just not correct. I didn't use the right type of language before which is why I have notes in front of me as well so if it ever seems like I'm reading off of something or something I just have notes in front of me just to make sure that I hit everything I want to say as well as word it correctly I didn't use the right language to talk about this issue before, I avoided using the words racism and BIPOC as well. I'm honestly not sure the reason and I'm sorry for not using stronger language when talking about this subject.
It also goes into the stream from a couple of days ago. The reason why I addressed in that way was I wanted it to become more of an ongoing discussion. And my one concern about doing a completely dedicated stream to it is that the people who genuinely needed to hear the message would not have clicked on it, not have listened if it was its own stream. But the message that I did give was after a promotion of everything as well as it was just not worded in the best way as well so it just ended up not being effective and in fact give the opposite effect as well which again I take full responsibility for and I apologise as well. The sort of approach that I took to talking about the harassment and racism that BIPOC individuals have received in the past has not been correct and especially not been enough. It has allowed for people to say "oh it's ok to ...". It's never ok full stop. Racism against BIPOC is never ok full stop. No matter what they say about me, no matter what they say about anyone, ok? No matter who they support who they don't support, it has never been ok period. And again I apologise for not stating that fact as strongly until now.
Now the sort of reason as well that I have seen, I've spoken to a lot of people who have gone through and have seen the harassment first hand. And I was able to sort of see where it starts, where it comes from as well. And a lot of the time people use racism to defend me, which is ridiculous for many many many reasons. One of them is I don't have to be defended, especially not using racism or harassment, anything. I don't have to be defended in any way. If someone has critiques against me, they should be allowed to say them without fear of people harassing them. And if people have critiques against the community as well they should be allowed to say that without being afraid of being harassed. It just doesn't help. That's the thing, it doesn't help in any way, it doesn't help anyone. All it does is prevent me from seeing said criticism and then being able to act on it. It prevents me from doing that and I am always open to criticism and I always have worked to try to see criticism and take it in and then change my ways or make a statement about it when I see it as well. And again I apologise for not doing so until today. I take full responsibility for the way it has gotten and the way the community has gotten as well. I'm again just very very sorry about that as well. The reason why chat is off is because of the fact that there have been a lot of people who are saying something along the lines of "oh it's ok", or "oh you don't have to address this" "you don't have to talk about this" and everything. And that is simply not the case, this is something that I should've talked about before and again I'm very very sorry for not to I take full responsibility for not speaking about it earlier as well.
And people saying that "Oh you don't have to say it" and everything, that is essentially just ignoring the fact that there is a problem. And it's saying that whatever problem that is going on is all on Twitter or something or it's like that. And that is just an incredibly backwards take of having. Because I would rather address anything that comes up in the community in order to make the community better, than to ignore an issue and let it grow to a point where it becomes a very very big problem like this has as well.
In regards to the stream yesterday, the idea that I had in mind was to hopefully start like more of a discussion by bringing it up more casually, but because I sort of jumbled my words a lot and also was avoiding using the proper terms like racism and everything which is what it was, the message was just not enough. It wasn't enough and I'm sorry about that as well. People were also saying that I made a comment for BIPOC to sort of like "move on" and everything, that comment was directed towards the people that see like a very mundane negative opinion of me like let's say you don't like my streams or something or you don't like my comedy style or something like that and then they would escalate that to the point of sending racist things to people or just harassment threads as well. That was sort of the "move on" statement, that's what that was meant to be about. The "move on" statement was never meant to be about genuine criticism or people who are genuinely affected as well. So I'm sorry, I'll be more mindful of using the proper wording for that in the future and also just preparing when I speak more about this type of stuff.
Because this isn't going to be the last time I think I'm going to have to speak about the racism that exists within my community, but also it shouldn't only be only listened to when it comes from me. It should be listened to from the BIPOC who are directly affected by this. It shouldn't have to only have change happen when I make something like a big statement about it or when I make a big stream about it. That shouldn't be what is only listen to. Because although I can do as much research into everything as possible, I will never understand what it's like to have my race used against me, to have racism used against me. I will never understand that, so I would much rather you also listen to the people who are genuinely affected as well. Because I can only do so much, I can only say so much. The change also has to continue there as well.
And again, I don't need to be defended in any way. I understand that the way I've handled the situation has come from an awful place of privilege, has come from just complete inexperience as well and a lack of education. And again I'm very very sorry for how I handled it and I take full responsibility for that as well. Again, there is no reason for anyone to be racist. That's the thing. And I know that's a very very like bare minimum phrase, but it shouldn't matter what they say about me, what they say about someone else, that should never ever happen. And if you say "oh but what if?" then I want you out of the community. I do not care if you have any "what if"s, that should never happen. It should never happen. And it absolutely is terrible that it has been and again I apologise to the people that have been affected by my community. I take full responsibility for that as well, as I should've been more strong-willed towards this in the beginning as well as now and I'll continue to be in the future as well.
I'm going to make sure to speak about this more and also I am working on becoming more educated in regards to the subject. I've been talking with BIPOC individuals as well who have been able to educate me. I thank you a lot, you know who you are the people that I've been talking to about this. I cannot thank you enough for helping me understand the steps to take, what to do, it means a lot. So thank you for that, thank you for anyone that has helped me over the past month with this subject as well. It really does mean a lot when you guys bring up these things to me because it means that you believe that I can do better and I'm glad that you have that faith in me to do better as well. And I'm very very sorry that that faith was broken with the statements that I've made before being not that strong.
This isn't going to be the only time that I'm going to talk about this. I plan to talk about this more often, be able to use my platform for good as well. And again, it shouldn't only have to be from me, I want you guys to listen to people who have gone through this. I want you guys to listen to the BIPOC within the community who have gone through this and at least try to understand their experiences and what you can do to make the community better as well. So I'm also going to start to be more vocal about these kinds of things as well. I'm going to try to find the problems within the community and stop them, well not necessarily stop them but at least try to make it clear that I'm just not ok with it. Because again the reason why the problem got so bad, the reason why the racism problem got so bad is because there we a lot of people who saw how interpretable my words were and thought "oh but it's ok if" and again I'm very very sorry that I've allowed that and I just want to again reinstate that it's never ok. Racism is never ok to use against anyone who is BIPOC. Again, sorry if I'm wording things incorrectly.
I also just wanted to thank the people who brought this to my attention as well. Thank you for again being willing to help, thank you for being willing to educate me as well as the other people in the community as well. I understand that it takes a lot of mental energy and a lot of mental time as well. And again I am just very very sorry that I have curated a community where some think that sending any type of racism or any type of harassment towards anyone for any reason is ok or justifiable, because it's not.
Now I'm gonna be talking a little bit about what I'm going to do in the future and also what we can do as a community as well. I'm going to start to be a little bit more vocal about the charities that we support as the charities have a lot of very very good resources that I would want people to look into and to use as well, as well as just support in general. I also want to thank some people in the community I've seen. A lot of people who are beginning to make support threads who are just uplifting more BIPOC in the community. And it means a lot to see that from this. And again I'm very very sorry that it got to the point that it did.
And I don't expect it to be solved from this. I don't expect everyone to forgive me as well for how I've handled it. And I understand that I'm going to have to regain trust as well which I hope to be able to do, because I don't want anyone feeling unwelcome in this community, except for of course people that are racist or are discriminatory for any reason. I don't want anyone to ever feel that I have allowed this within my community. I never want people to even remotely think that it is ok, because it's not. And again I'm extremely disappointed in myself for not being stronger with that as well as the last thing I wanted to do is create more problems for anyone. And I understand that because of the way that I've talked about racism in the past I have allowed and curated a community that has done that. And again I apologise for it. I take full responsibility for that as well.
This is going to be not just a one time thing, as I've said before. I don't expect everything to immediately be solved as soon as I say this. I do hopefully expect things to change, but I also know that there is a chance that they might not, which is why I'm going to continue to reinstate that fact as well. I'm going to be more vocal about it. I'm going to work harder towards creating a safer community for BIPOC as well, because again the harassment of other people that was sent to me was terrible to see and I can never begin to imagine what it must have felt like to receive that and to have that happen. And again I deeply apologise that I have allowed for my community to get to that point. Again, very very sorry for the way that my voice is or that maybe some of my wording has been as well. This just sort of happens whenever I'm talking about serious matters or serious subjects.
I just want the BIPOC community that exist to know that again I'm just very sorry for the way that things have gotten. I wish that I was more strict earlier with the weirdo's that existed. I wish I was more strict, but I also know that there's no way to go back and undo the mistakes that I've made. The only thing that I can do is acknowledge the fact that racism has existed within my community and continue to try to stop it. Or at least try to make it known that it's not ok. And I know that me just saying that isn't going to be enough, I know that it is also going to have to be actions in the future as well which I'm going to take. I'm going to try to continue to uplift BIPOC voices even more. And again I'm just very very sorry that it's all gotten to this point. I'm very sorry to have seen the harassment that people have received. I just wish that I was more vocally against it. As I thought that the strategies that I took before, the statements that I've said before would have been a good way of doing it and it wasn't. It wasn't and again I appreciate everyone who let me know that and I cannot thank you guys enough for helping me understand the problem and bringing up the fact that there is a problem with racism within my community.
Another thing that I also wanted to talk about is also genuinely when anyone, and I know that this is going to continue to happen, this is probably gonna happen for the rest of my internet career, when anyone has criticism against me, a negative opinion against me, it is their opinion of me. It is ok. You should never send harassment against them for that. I do not need to be defended, as random comments with no value do not affect me. Genuine criticism does affect me cause it does make me want to do better. But that doesn't mean that genuine criticism is always a bad thing. It's never a bad thing. And people who think that it's a bad thing have, I'm just not sure as to why, I believe it is because they think that any type of criticism is an attack against me, which is again not the case, but then they see it and they go "Oh if they're attacking my favourite creator then that gives me the right to attack them!". Nothing gives you the right to be racist towards someone or to attack someone. Someone can call me the absolute worst things known to mankind. There should never be any type of retaliation if you call yourself a fan of mine in regards to that. There should never be any harassment, any racism that is sent towards that person because of anything that they say against me. Because, if they're saying random things against me which hold no value, then I do not take it to heart as much as they will if you harass them, if you send them death threads or if you send them anything that is racist as well. If you ever do that, if you ever did that, I do not want you watching me. I do not want you enjoying my content, I do not want you following me. If you think that I am such a perfect person that any type criticism against me is grounds for racism, then I do not want you in the community. I do not want you watching me. Because there is never grounds for any of that.
Please continue to have discussion. Don't just act like everything is solved immediately, because it's not. It won't even be close. This won't even have as large as an effect as people usually make it out to be whenever I do make a statement. Please continue to have discussions about this, please continue to talk about this. Please continue to uplift the voices of people that do have genuine discussion and of people who have genuine criticism against me. Because it is ok, I want to learn, I want to just make a better place on the internet in general and the fact it has gotten to this point is just exactly the opposite of what I'm trying to create. And the fact that my community has bred more racism has just been an absolutely awful thing. And the fact that those people feel safe within my community disgusts me, as I don't want them to feel safe anywhere. They should never feel safe anywhere on the internet or in real life. This isn't going to be the only time that I'm going to talk about this. This isn't going to be the only statement that I make probably even today. I'm going to be listening to feedback about this as well as I'll make mote statements if I need to as well. It's very much an awful situation, but I have faith that hopefully we can make it better, at least a little bit. And again I'm very very sorry if any of my wording has been incorrect or if any of my word switching or stuttering has lead to anything. I will clear up anything more that I need to clear up. And just thank you to everyone for bringing it to my attention. I hope that we can continue to talk about this problem, continue to learn from it as well. And again I take full responsibility for how things have gotten within my community. I'm sorry for not saying anything that has been as, not necessarily harsh, but sort of strong sooner. I'm sorry for leaving things up for interpretation. I take full responsibility for how I've acted in the past in regards to the subject of racism within my community and I will take full responsibility for how I act in the future. I hope that we can just continue to have a discussion about it within the community as well, continue to call out people as well. If you see anyone who is sending any type of racism or any type of harassment towards anyone, call them out. And if they aren't willing to listen, get them out of the community. I would rather lose so many people if it means that the people that are left still feel safe. Cause it's just disgusting that people that thought, maybe even continue to think, the racists that existed within my community, it disgusts me to think that they ever felt safe. And again I take full responsibility for that as well. And I'm very sorry for the fact it's gotten to this point. I know I've repeated that a lot and sorry about that as well.
I'm sure I might've left out some things as well. If I have I'm going to clear it up as well, I will talk about it more. Thank you guys for listening. Hopefully you guys have taken these words to heart. And again I understand if you feel uncomfortable watching me or my content that is completely ok. I hope that everyone is doing what is best for them during this time and again I'm very very sorry to the BIPOC that have felt unsafe in my community because of the way that I acted as well as the community members have acted. I'm very sorry about that. Please be willing to listen as well. Be willing to listen to the resources that have been provided. And just be willing to listen sometimes. Because people sometimes feel the need to give their opinion, when in reality it does not need to be given and it does not need to be said. Sometimes listening and absorbing the information is the most important thing. Because that's another problem that's been brought up is the fact that people simply will not listen and they'll get so focused in their mindsets that they aren't even willing to realise that what they're doing hurts people. Again I'm just very sorry that everything has gotten to this point. I'll talk about probably this more tonight as well. Again I'm open to any criticism that exists from what I've said. I'm not going to get everything perfect and I'm sorry if I haven't said everything in the correct way. I'm always willing to listen, always willing to grow and I hope that everyone that watches is able to as well. And again I'm just very sorry and I take full responsibility for how the community has gotten. And I hope to be able to help to make it at least a little bit better.
Thank you again, I know that I've jumbled everything so I'm going to also post sort of just a transcript of what I've said as well which will hopefully be more cohesive if this hasn't been. And if there is anything that I missed as well, I'll be sure to talk about that as well. Thank you again. I will be around, but I don't think I'm going to be streaming for the next couple days just so that this message is at the top and that it's seen. Thank you again everyone that has brought this to my attention and I appreciate the fact that people are willing to help me grow. Thank you.

Oh my god I literally cannot convey to you that stumbling on this blog felt like seeing the sunlight again after being trapped underground for months. I thought I was crazy for finding fault with genloss because I have not seen any actual valid criticism anywhere and I thought I was losing my mind for not seeing the glory that is the, ‘next wave of indie horror content’.
Please.
There’s more horror in an average retail store on any given weekend than this entire series has in its three episodes.
Christ I don’t even know where to begin with this thing.
I’m not a film student but I’ve read the other film student anons’ posts and they are so incredibly right. There is so much about the series that felt hastily thrown together and I also loathe the phrase ‘intentionally bad’ when it’s something that’s been hyped up for as long as it has and yet, fell so incredibly flat. I have never been more bored, irritated, and confused watching a piece of media before, and have continued to feel this way as I watch diehard fans of Ranboo tout how great of a series it is?
Hey, Boobers- cmere, let me tell you a secret, genloss ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
It’s a lukewarm, lackluster production at best, and if I didn’t know going in that this was supposed to be Ranboo’s passion project, it literally feels like a school assignment he had only the bare interest in putting together. God this thing has no soul. It has no spark. And it hurts so much to know that this is what this great incredibly hyped-up project became, because from how they talked about it, it's obvious Ranboo loves this thing, and I wanted to love it too.
But it ain’t good. And someone should’ve told him long before now it needs massive edits, and I get it, getting hard criticism is painful and isn't fun, but if it makes your end product better, your piece of entertainment content more enjoyable for the consumer, then you gotta listen and bare it.
I’m an author and I know they do it because they love me, but whenever my editors are like ‘ayo this shit is whack wtf you talking about’ it does hurt my pride but!!!! But!!!!!!!! I go back and take a harder look at that section and sometimes I stand by what I wrote, but other times I now see what was wrong with it and make the edits. Sometimes entire concepts have to get cut to trim down the story and make it more cohesive and that also sucks, but you just tuck those ideas away for later or another project, and tbh I do not feel like anyone did this with the genloss concept.
This entire story feels like it is stapled together and there is literally no through line!! It is a random bag of ideas mashed together to form what I imagine an AI would generate if you typed in ‘mall, horror, evil cooperation’. Fuck it hurts. It hurts so much to be someone that is so passionate about storytelling and writing to see genloss get the attention it has, and for Ranboo to be praised for their ‘excellent writing skills’.
I do understand this was probably their second real attempt at writing a story for public consumption (first being his character’s arc in the dsmp), and like, nothing anyone writes on their second attempt to tell a story is gonna be great. Mine wasn’t, no writer’s is, and that’s okay I really genuinely get that, my problem is how the production was hyped up, how the budget was apparently blown on so much wasteful crap, and then how no one with experience telling stories took a look at his concept before production began.
It makes me sick to know that box cost 18k. Do you know what I, and many other small creators, could do with that kinda money?
This was a few weeks ago? Maybe last week? But Ranboo said over here on the tumbles that they were thinking about genloss in written form, IE a book, and I think I literally blacked out I got so angry. I am also writing a book (hahahaha hi it is not easy!) and I honestly don’t think it's half bad, but I have still been fighting tooth and nail to get eyes on it and nothing makes me angrier than knowing Ranboo could slap some half-baked shit into a word doc, get whatever kind of fancy printing they wanted, and sell more copies than I likely ever will.
I don’t wish anything ill on the dude, he seems like a nice person and I hope he succeeds, but jesus christ, someone needs to be real with them on their writing and story construction. TBH I think a large part of the problem is how rabid his fanbase is, so any kind of criticism gets buried under threats and just, people blowing smoke up his ass, and that is not helpful to him as a creator!! Dude wants to grow and improve, stop telling them genloss is the best thing since sliced bread!!
Let him get his feelings hurt over this, let them take that and make it their drive, let him know he can do better.
If you keep settling for mediocrity, you never push yourself to do something great.
But that’s just my two cents. Thank you for letting me word vomit in your inbox, I have been going crazy and I will likely be back <3
-the author anon
this blog is collecting anons representing all the creative aspects of gen loss like pokemon. first film student anon. now author anon.
but in all seriousness i'm glad this blog is a breath of fresh air for you <3 you're right! my first couple attempts at writing (mostly fanfiction, some original) i am very glad they do not exist online. part of writing well is being kind of really bad at it for a bit. ive taken a writing class (in college) and the entire foundation of that class was "we will write and then your classmates will give you feedback" and it made a lot of my work so much better. feedback is like. how you get good and i feel like you're right, the fanbase does drown a lot of that out (hence me making a dedicated blog!)
i hadn't heard of the gen loss book concept before this but. i can't imagine it would be super great at the current form of gen loss is in. and writing is so much more than "here's the plot" like. establishing a good setting and sense of place and making us actually connect with the protagonist and. author anon that awakened something in me
Let him get his feelings hurt over this, let them take that and make it their drive, let him know he can do better. If you keep settling for mediocrity, you never push yourself to do something great.
anyways. great thoughts! reposting that quote for those in the back :)
