I just found out about """ashbo""" shippers and I feel genuinely sick to my stomach. I knew there was a lot of concerning IRL shipping amongst dsmp enjoyers but HOLY fuck dragging someone who isn't even a content creator and who has never been seen before is insane and I don't use that word fucking lightly. Every time Tubbo has mentioned the person he's been dating he's been deliberately vague or has accidently leaked something. Man does not want y'all to know! And yet there are people sleuthing around for all the info they can get, writing fucking timelines, doing in-depth analysis of fucking breadcrumbs, writing NSFW FANFIC. You have been told MULTIPLE TIMES BY THESE CREATORS THAT THEY SEE THE SHIT YOU POST especially on Twitter where the algorithm shoves it in their faces! Genuinely if you engage in this behaviour you need HELP. It's not healthy for you and it's fucking terrifying for CCs to have their private lives treated like an ARG. When will you be satisfyed with the amount of information you have on these teenage strangers' lives?? Can you imagine the psychological impact of having thousands of people's input on your personal relationships AT EIGHTEEN!!!! And I know y'all have been doing this since they were minors. I don't care if you're their age it's fucking messed up to be publicly hypothesizing about the details of the sex and love lives of strangers! Some people out there spend so much time falling down this hole and yet don't seem to spend any time trying to empathise with these creators who have told them multiple times to stop shipping them with their other teenaged friends!
And I thought I was getting dangerously obsessive with my special interest in these streamers! I guess this also doubles as my announcement that I'm going to be forcing myself to de-dsmp my internet spaces to try and nip this thing in the bud in the hopes that I can have a healthy relationship with these people's content and not have to stop watching them entirely so apologies if I unfollow you. It's not personal. I'm forcing my new hyperfixation to be treating CCs like human strangers (I'm not saying it's easy fellow autism havers, it's fucking necessary for your mental health)
I hope this post can be a wakeup call to someone out there but I know a lot of people are just gonna yell at me about. Genuinely scared to be honest, considering how they're all doxxers but this needs to be said more often. If you get upset at me for telling you to treat strangers like they're human I'm insta blocking you.
Watch "basically I'm gay" and other video essays from creators about the shit this kind of "fan" culture does to them
Get counselling, make friends who aren't also in this weird cult with you, get IRL hobbies, etc.
A piece of my dsmp Pokémon AU, the second fic I write for it.
Pokémon showcases has always been my favorite part of the XY anime, and maybe of Pokémon as a whole, so it was really fun to research, play around with, and expand upon it. Also, first time writing Boo, surprisingly fun!
There’s some implied TubboXRanboo childhood crush thing that can be read as platonic, but I thought I’d warn ya
I fought for my life drawing the background just to cover it up. tubbo's outfit and the au is inspired by @piecanl, Nim also gave me the idea for this.
He lived and died for it. He loved it longer than anyone else and was loyal to it regardless of the ways it failed him. He inspired the anthem and everything L’Manberg stood for, Tommy stood for too.
Tubbo was the body of L’Manberg.
He built L’Manberg. He built Manberg. He built New L’Manberg. Everyone else could give the nation everything they had, but it wouldn’t have existed without Tubbo. Not in the way that it did.
Wilbur was the mind of L’Manberg.
Without his ideas and without his dreams, L’Manberg never would’ve existed, and it never would’ve been a synonym for freedom or joy. There never would’ve been a deceleration or a war or an election or a nation without Wilbur to think of it. And he blames himself for its downfall because of this.
Fundy was the spirit of L’Manberg.
Fundy had lived in L’Manberg through all three of its administrations. He was born there. He pulled pranks on the nations people which made it what it was. And Fundy believed in L’Manberg and it’s message until the end of schlatt’s presidency. Then he lost all trust in it.
Niki was the soul of L’Manberg.
She fed the nation. She fought for it. She understood the vision of it. She loved the people inside of it for so long. She broke when it did. Niki gave up it lost its final life. Eventually she did move on.
All of them were L’Manberg. All of them lost L’Manberg. The country died, bit by bit, every time one of them lost faith in it.
08-06-2023: Day 6 of the First Try Techno Challenge!
For the All wheel, I got Technoblade and the Syndicate!
You may notice a distinct lack of Philza, but the story demanded it.
After eleven year old Technoblade discovers that Philza has forbidden the Syndicate (Techno’s awesome book club) from turning Technoblade into a vampire (they are all children), Technoblade revokes Philza’s membership with the Syndicate and maes a new rule: No Grown-Ups Allowed.
Now that he is a grown up himself, and immortal through his own means, he COULD lift the ban on Philza. If he wanted to.
