Me rambling about the fandom atmosphere during November 16th:

With November 16th hitting the corner, I thought now would be a good time to finally post this post that's been in my drafts forever

I genuinely am of the personal belief that November 16th is one of those things where you had to have been there to fully appreciate and experience it at least in my opinion. I feel like the tense atmosphere leading up to the actual event is something that is not widely talked about in the fandom. A brief reminder for the fans that are new here or that missed the stream where the November 16th War was announced: during stream C! Dream revealed that there was a traitor hiding amongst Pogtopia and said it was someone that you wouldn't expect. This one line lead to multiple fan theories going around the fandom ranging from plausible to very far fetched. The fandom turned into one big game of Among Us and EVERYONE was a suspect.

Here's an old post of my mine that I think does a good job showing the mentality of most fans going into November 16th:

There were so many theories and speculations leading up to it and you genuinely had to be there to see everyone's different theories about who the traitor would be and the couple aus I saw come out of it. It made it so that when the event did happen, no one in the fandom knew who trust and NEITHER DID THE CHARACTERS. It was amazing watching characters debate whether or not to trust eachother live. It made it feel like any discoveries or possible leads that were made were realised by the character and the fandom at the same time, especially love that one scene where C! Tubbo and C! Quackity decide they sort of trust eachother and talk about who they don't trust. I distinctly remembering switching between povs and watching the dashboard lose their shit and how current character mains would be like "OH [CHARACTER] IS ACTING SO SUSPICIOUS :0" or just liveblog whatever characters were doing and it was a really fun way of keeping up with most of the characters even if I couldn't physically watch all their povs at once

This is less about the atmosphere but more something I feel like people don't talk about enough: Phil wasn't on the Dream SMP before November 16th and we had no concrete indication he would be there. There were a lot of fan theories and headcanons about him joining and I remember seeing all the art of him joining on November 16th and at the time thinking "Oh that's really cool but I doubt they'll actually do it" SO I CAN'T DESCRIBE THE SHEER EMOTIONS I FELT WHEN HE JOINED?

I honestly still don't think I'll ever forget watching C! Wilbur press the button and watching everything go to shit at once after such a tense buildup. Whenever I tell my irl friends I once stayed up till 5am on a school night to watch a live minecraft roleplay event, most of them joke or express (VERY UNDERSTANDABLE) concern but I honestly don't regret a thing. I'd do it 30 times over just to experience that again and watch my dashboard go apeshit. November 16th will always be one of my favourite events in any media ever.

#ME? FINALLY POSTING THIS? MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK #dream smp #dsmp #November 16th #wilbur soot #philza min3craft #mcyt #mof speaks #retrospective or whatever #is this a #dsmp meta #post now?

Back in late November 2020, I remember jokingly saying to my friends that the only reason C! Phil and C! Techno were my favorite DSMP duo was because they were the only canon relationship that wasn't constantly causing me vasts amounts of pain and I could actually get attached to their dynamic without constantly worrying that they were going to fall apart. It's been like 6 months since I've made that joke and that initial joke ended up being more true than I had originally thought

Also before anyone mentions this: I really don't think their friendship is going to fall apart if/when C! Phil finds out C! Techno killed C! Tubbo because A) C! Techno was forced to do it by C! Schlatt and I think C! Philza "I had to kill my own son" Min3craft would probably understand and B) considering all we know about their relationship canonically, I can't see them ending their friendship over something like this. Not saying there won't be drama(it's the dsmp where miscommunication happens constantly) but I don't think it'll be enough to completely fuck over their friendship

Sidenote: now that I've said this out loud, I feel like I'm jinxing it and that in a week or something, their relationship will be in shambles lol. Let's hope not

#if you didnt want me to get attached to the pseudo antagonists. whyd you make them have one of the healthiest and least angsty relationships #of the entire server #like there's just so much trust and understanding going on and I'm just 🥺🥺🥺#its been such a consistently sweet and positive friendship #and considering how much angst and suffering and misunderstandings are going on with most of the other relationships #idk its just a nice change of pace #like it's so clear these two would glady give up the world for eachother and i just think that's pog #oh also if any fellow arctic duo enjoyers are going through the tags of this post.#do yourself a favor and go read Orphan's Path on Ao3 #I wanna hear it's alright by Bunflower on Ao3 is also very pog #okay ramble over #dream smp #mcyt #technoblade #philza #mof speaks
