Martyn answering rens "did we get married" with "well I did chop your head off" in wild life makes me want to raise several questions about the kinds of weddings hes been to. in what world is that a qualifier

As someone with hair that is very similar to Dreams, I’d say his hair is ‘mousy brown’ which is almost the same as ‘dirty blonde’ BUT the difference is it has majority red undertones instead of yellow undertones so in the sun it turns red/orange.

All of these descriptors of hair mean entirely different things to me. Unfortunately they also all apply to dream in my head, so you're not wrong

Don't worry though, theres just a few bugs in his current texture, everything will look fine and consistent in the full release

The dlc (face reveal) has cleared NOTHING up

so, there are some snakes that just bite. pure evil. but they weren't always that way. you made them that way by treating them like that's what they always were. and sometimes you do have to ask the question. how did you get there? because imagine the snake finally decides fuck you, i am just gonna bite. i'm gonna lay and wait in this bush, gonna watch your ankles go by, the clock ticking while venom slowly fills my fangs. and i'm not gonna stop until you put me down. because, i'm no long protecting my eggs. they're already gone. they were stolen by the hawks when you chased me away from my nest. so. some snakes do just bite. do i? do you? not even once?

Dreams hyping up getting over 2 mil views over 4 videos over the course of 2-3 weeks and ohhhhh he doesn't even know! He doesn't even know how he'll grow, he doesn't even know the heights he'll climb to ohhhh

He doesn't even know that a year from now he'll have nearly quadruple that number of subscribers and that he wouldn't be slowing down for a while. He doesn't know that his most recent video, by itself, has almost quadrupled that in 5 days. He doesn't even know he'll have multiple videos over 100 million views. He doesn't know that he'll be a household name, that he's changed not only the Minecraft landscape but the YouTube landscape. He doesn't know how many millions of people he will make smile for years and years

He's 19 and he has no idea what the future holds

felt appropriate to have this on the dash today

[judgehangman]

those finale streams are still so fucking funny like c!dream trying to be a hater about c!tommy because he's just really mad at c!tommy but he doesn't like really hate him that much (they were friends once, they could've been friends this entire time if c!tommy hadn't rejected him first) and then c!punz is there like. oh my god this stupid asshole nobody gaf that you wanted to kill yourself. and c!dream is just immediately going full damage control mode bc wtf punz

[judgehangman]

like i just love how the angle the finale went for was like yeah c!dream personally has done the most evil but did you consider that c!punz is an asshole which is objectively worse

manhunt is literally just good improv. when people claim it’s “staged,” they’re taking it as synonymous with “scripted” or “fake,” but those are completely different things. it’s staged like improv is staged. the actors get a set with a flat floor, few and solid colors, and maybe a few chairs to make sure they have enough room to move around and be flexible. they get a prompt from the audience to spark inspiration, but also to make sure it’s genuinely off the cuff. dream and the hunters get a set seed and spawn point to make sure they have enough room for creativity, as well as a direction to head in from a third party (their “prompt”). improv actors usually have an arsenal of ideas, often inspired by personal experiences, that they can quickly pull from when prompted with specific words or concepts. dream (and sometimes the hunters) has an arsenal of ideas for traps and clutches he can do when given the right tools or conditions. the impressive skill has always been the quick thinking and the engrossing part comes from how much every party commits to their role. improv actors take their scenes 100% seriously and dream and the hunters play like winning is their life’s purpose. you aren’t supposed to try to be funny in improv and the objective of manhunt isn’t to “look cool” (usually lol). that will all happen naturally because you’ve set up good conditions for skilled, quick-thinking people to fully dedicate themselves to a goal. that inevitably creates something substantial and that’s why these things are so entertaining.

sitting at my desk near tears bc i'm laughing so hard at the bit in ancillary mercy when everyone is like "oh my god breq you're such a bimbo let me explain this in small words so you can understand" this is a reductive way of describing one of the great scenes in literary history but my alarm just went off telling me my laundry is ready to move so excuse me while i go deal with that i'll elaborate after

[zeiat]

ok here is a list of great moments in that scene (non-exhaustive):

breq sitting around thinking at great length and in utmost emotional agony about how fine, maybe mercy of kalr didn't love seivarden, but all THAT meant was that mercy of kalr was really trying to communicate that it HATED breq

breq, internally: i've been FORCING mercy of kalr to be nice to me this whole time! without even realizing! it didn't have an option to refuse my requests (unlike me at every time in my 2000+ years as a spaceship when i didn't like an officer and so ignored their requests or did things badly on purpose)! i'm just like anaander mianaai!!!!

mercy of kalr: *unable not to notice breq's depression vortex* u ok fleet captain?? breq: yeah. :) mercy of kalr: ...i think you're lying and i'm worried about you? breq, internally: OH GOD MERCY OF KALR NEVER LIKED ME AT ALL

tfw two ships are being so stupid at each other about their feelings that SEIVARDEN VENDAAI, OF ALL PEOPLE, has to tell them how stupid they're being about their feelings

mercy of kalr being like "ok maybe you're right and ships don't love other ships--" and barely even managing to finish because breq immediately goes back into a misery spiral (the conclusion is obviously "but i love you so i think maybe it's actually that ships love people who could be captains, WHICH AS WE HAVE REPEATEDLY ESTABLISHED INCLUDES SHIPS")

mercy of kalr, in front of seivarden and everyone: "i can't believe i'm actually saying this, but lieutenant seivarden is right"

kalr five experiencing such astonishment about two spaceships (one of whom is her captain) being so emotionally stupid that she actually voluntarily emotes for the first time in the entire book

breq: *with great confidence* lieutenant seivarden doesn't love me.

mercy of kalr: ???

kalr five: ?!?!?!?!

seivarden: LMAO

a good chunk of this takes place while breq is being tended to by kalr five and/or therapeutically cuddled by seivarden (who doesn't love her. obviously.)

or, this exchange i had with harry while i was listening to some of this:

me: it's bimbos all the way down harry: that's the actual gender that all radchaai are

and she was right.

c!Wilbur is the type of cult leader to take one of his own followers hostage at gunpoint to prevent his other victims from being rescued from the cult.

[negativepeanuthoarder]

c!Wilbur holding c!Tubbo pinned against him, a hand over his mouth, the barrel of a pistol pressed against his temple, glaring down the rifles of the gathered cult rescue crew, knowing that none of them can fire on him without either hitting c!Tubbo by accident or without him shooting c!Tubbo. "Stand down, or he dies."

[hallwaysss]

later he'd comfort Tubbo like "I wasn't really going to shoot you, it was just acting so they'd leave us alone. We're all safe here."

[negativepeanuthoarder]

Tubbo doesn't know how to feel about that. Wilbur sounds so sincere, but Tubbo was also really scared, and it felt like he WAS about to shoot him...

"I'd never shoot you, the pistol wasn't even loaded." (it had certainly SOUNDED loaded in that moment.) "God loves you, and he chose me to be his prophet, he would never have let me hurt you - which he never has to do, because I would never hurt you, not for real." (he is the mouthpiece for god, though...) "and if I hadn't done that, then those men would've shot all of us. they certainly weren't here to kidnap any of you alive, did you see all of their rifles? they wanted all of us dead." (did they?)

[negativepeanuthoarder]

also in my AU here this all takes place in Utah. Dream and co. finally leave Wilbur's little cult alone, which turns out to be a bad idea because he immediately forges passports, loads all the cult members into a minivan, and flees the country by driving from Utah into Idaho, then Montana, then across the border into Alberta. He's attempting to make it up toward Yukon or Northwest Territories, because it's Extremely Fucking Empty up there.

In response to this, Dream and co. have to get in contact with their arctic buddies to help out. Techno and Phil live in extremely remote interior Alaska where they mostly raise and train sled dogs (something that becomes increasingly important when they need to look for Wilbur and the Kidnapped Cult Victims (<- free band name) because sled dogs famously love to run and find stuff).

I'm stealing from our beloved @timetravelkoolaid, but the person who finally manages to get on the phone with Techno and Phil's household (it's Phil who picks up), is Punz, and the FIRST thing he says when Phil picks up is, "Come get your fucking kid."

[negativepeanuthoarder]

#Utah actually has a pretty bad handle on things like this#Very slow reaction time to crimes committed by religious/cult figures#or the town has a small force almost entirely made up with members of the group so no one does anything to help#I bet that's what Wilbur tried to do but most of his followers are still pretty young#and his particular sect is too new to have a town established as their own#So actually :) it's good they're going to a more remote place :) he can control them all better :) keep those outside influences (the law)#out of their business :)

this is also part of the reasonthat Dream and Co are "the cult rescue crew" and not "the police", because they're not the police. After first escaping, Eret TRIED calling the police and that went Absolutely Nowhere, so they stumbled into Dream's house, and he managed to gather a bunch of concerned citizens into a makeshift rescue squad. They all own rifles because this is Rural Utah, and with Eret's help they did manage to close in on the old farmhouse Wilbur was using as a base, although rescuing the kids went sideways when he took a hostage.

after Wilbur flees into Canada, they TRY to get canadian authorities involved, and instead get a "what do you want us to do lmao" response. hence contacting emerald duo

[hallwaysss]

They try to send someone in to get evidence of Wilbur commitment a crime so they can take it to the police, but Tommy is such a good enforcer and so devoted that he senses something up and forces them to leave before they can get anything useful.

[negativepeanuthoarder]

See the worst part here is that Wilbur technically hasn't done anything illegal (yet). Sure he has a bunch of random people living with him, but Fundy and Tommy are his bio kids, he has legal custody of Tubbo (Tubbo's dad, Schlatt, died in a drunk driving accident, and Wilbur was declared Tubbo's legal guardian for Complicated Reasons), and Niki and Jack are adults, they can go where they want. Even Ranboo is accounted for, Niki has legal custody of her cousin. All of the guns in that house were legally obtained, every adult has a legal firearm licence (idr if Utah requires those or not), and Wilbur owns the land they're living on.

The first actual illegal thing Wilbur does is kidnap Fundy (who was SUPPOSED to go to his mom's that weekend (still debating my Eret-is-Fundy's-other-bio-parent idea bc it's funny lol)) and smuggle the entire cult out of the country.

#I think they could get Niki (already existing member) to help them out#As soon as she figures out what Wilbur is doing she gets so angry with him (as she should!) but she has to wait it out#and play the long game to help them Actually take him down#Cause if they kill him and then somehow fail to force the members to leave then he's going to become a#martyr figure and it'll become so much more difficult to save them

No one ends up actually deliberately killing Wilbur, which prevents the martyrdom, honestly. They get to a point where Phil and Techno (who have a LOT more and a lot BIGGER guns (as well as a willingness to shoot that Wilbur is more than aware of considering the fact that he's Phil's kid)) are able to break into Wilbur's new base (abandoned hostel that's accidentally juuuuust over the border in Alaska) and rescue some of the kids. (Phil has Grandparent Claim to Tommy and Fundy, and Techno is about the same level of related to Ranboo as Niki is (just on the other side of the family) so he can 100% argue the courts into giving him custody of his cousin (especially because Techno has like a whole house and a stable source of income and Niki is also living in the cult) - but they don't end up needing any of that.) Phil basically holds Wilbur at gunpoint while Techno escorts the entire cult (also at gunpoint because Jack specifically was being extremely fucking difficult (he was whining that it was cold outside ._.)) outside the building to the dogsleds and snowmobiles.

Wilbur, watching his cult be ripped away from him and knowing that the authorities are closing in, freaks out, grabs a gun, and runs to try and kill everyone in a "if I can't have you, no one can" way...

...which is when he promptly slips on the icy stairs of the abandoned hostel, falls onto concrete, and gives himself a severe TBI that he eventually ends up dying from. The entire cult saw this happen. Their prophet dies in an extremely obvious accident. You can't exactly make a martyr of a guy who died from falling down a staircase

#c!Dream is learning WAY more about Canada's law system than he ever thought he would#This was not what he signed up for when he agreed to help out at his uncles ranch in Utah....

^ c!Sapnap hears him complain about this once and just sighs heavily about it because he's also here. His mom (Bad) moved here when he started college and he was looking forward to a relaxing winter break spent in the beauty of nature, not... this.

[drimcraft]

a year since hardlaunch is kinda insane to think about. its the fourth year of dream face revealing and hes turning 3 (27) in two months and its his seven year anniversary in july i feel like his mother taking pictures of him on his first day of school every day and realizing hes not my 2 foot tall baby anymore 😞 he can even dress himself now

[negativepeanuthoarder]

people say that "culture is too fragmented nowadays, people don't have large pop culture touchstones like we did Back In The Day" are really missing out on the time I was in a crowded spirit halloween with my sister, grabbed a pair of black costume wings, said "Look it's Philza" and FOUR PEOPLE in earshot of us audibly sighed

[timetravelkoolaid]

Someone on twitter said that all the "new san jose sharks fans were clearly DNFers during covid" and that shit had me HOLLERING
