Foolish: Oh! That's a fun little guy. What's that? Is that like, a caterpillar? Is that a cat?
Rubius: What - it's not a cat, it's Titi!
Foolish: Titi?
Rubius: Yeah! It's the main character from Karmaland.
During r/place last year, Rubius shared some Karmaland lore with Foolish (in the midst of many a Discord calls between allies and enemies as the pixel war waged 😅). Karmaland V was the server Quackity was part of before he began QSMP, and Titi, the little alien tree creature Rubius and Foolish have this discussion about, is believed to be the inspiration behind QSMP's Egg.

Foolish: Buenos Dias~!
Rubius: Hello!
Foolish: Hello, hello!
Rubius: How are you, my friend?
Foolish: Oh, I'm doing good! I'm doing good! :D

Foolish: What's um, what's that that you're building?
Rubius: Ehhh, it's -
Foolish: Is it like your little bear guy? Your little Minecraft character?
Rubius: Yeah.
Foolish: [Noticing Titi] Oh! That's a fun little guy. What- what's that? Is that like a caterpillar? Is that a cat? What- what's like that-
Rubius: What - it's not a cat, it's Titi!
Foolish: Titi?
Rubius: Yeah! It's the main character of- from Karmaland. He- he- he died. :(
-
Rubius: Titi, come back! Over here!
Rubius: Don't do it, Titi.

Foolish: [Laughs]
Rubius: No- don't laugh! It's not funny.
Foolish: No- estoy triste [I'm sad].

Rubius: Ok, now you have to help me because you insulted the- you insulted Titi.
Foolish: Is T- is Ti- so Titi' i's a cat?
Rubius: IT'S NOT A CAT! It's a...
Foolish: No! Right, fck! No, that's right! It's not a cat!
Rubius: It's an... alien tree. An alien tree. [To his chat] He keeps calling him a cat! It came from inside a friend called Staxx. He was pregnant, and this came out of him.
Foolish: Ohh. Wow!
Rubius: Yes.
Foolish: That's- that must've been intense.
Rubius: Yeah, a little bit. [Laughs]
Foolish: And- and that was your... like, became like your kid kinda? Or like a- you were like an uncle for it?
Rubius: Yeah, I'm his... father because I was the only one taking care of him.
Foolish: Ohhh, but then you did a bad job and he died?
Rubius: No, I- I- no. He died because he saved us.
This is Titi!! The Spectacle’s one and only puppeteer! She’s sure got the arms and the voice range for it!
I’m so happy with how this drawing came out!!!! I really ate it up with this one y’all.
More about her under the cut!! ཻུ۪۪♡ ͎. 。˚ °
Oh Titi! I have so much to say about her! For starters I mentioned that she’s the mom friend of the group. She’s so nurturing and generous by nature, she really keeps everyone together. She’s a puppeteer and has hundreds of handmade puppets that she’s written many plays for! And She absolutely talks to all of her puppets like they’re alive. Her bottom arms connect to a body segment that can spin independently and is fully articulated (Like Sardonyx from Steven Universe)
Here’s an old drawing from her first redesign! My friend asked if she’s Christmas themed because I first drew her in December. No she’s not >:( but now I like the idea of Ronnette calling her a Christmas elf. One more thing! “Titi” actually comes from “titiritera” which means puppeteer in Spanish! Wie cool ist das!?!?
Rubius: It's impossible - it's LITERALLY impossible, IT'S. LITERALLY. IMPOSSIBLE - no, no! You cheated, you cheater!!!
A year ago today, Karmaland 5 was announced. I'm feeling really nostalgic about a lot of things, but I'm really missing the dynamic between Rubius and Titi. For folks who aren't familiar with Karmaland, Titi like the equivalent of the Eggs on QSMP (possibly even an inspiration for them!)
Titi and Rubius were very close, and they often had fun competitions and races like this. This clip is a good representation of their personalities, and it also shows that they're both absolute bastards LMAO
