being a dsmp fan aged like fine wine into a subscription service where every 1-3 months it feels like someone comes and stabs you with 400 knives. and then you have to go to work
being a dsmp fan continued aging like fine wine into a subscription service where once or twice a year you are mailed a free ticket to the circus. you may not opt out. you still have to go to work

Doin some scribbles cuz I don't wanna revise.
Also frankly there's not enough whump c!technoblade content.
I am something of a connoisseur of dead fandoms. I don't have the patience for living ones-- my interest tends to fizzle out when it's fed a normal release schedule. So instead, I binge completed works, then binge their most popular 100 or so fanworks, think of nothing else for a month while practically vibrating with unspoken opinions, and then move on. I've picked over many a corpse this way, broken into many a dwindling house party to steal the forgotten hors d'oeuvres then bounce before anyone could catch me in a long-entrenched argument that I only half understand. This is my default way of consuming media.
So trust me when I say that picking up dsmp in 2023 is bizarre.
This is less like wandering through a failed shopping mall, and more like playing Eldritch Horror. There are so many signs of past conflict; so many scattered bits of discourse that I'm trying not to look too closely at for fear of releasing something I cannot comprehend. Everyone uses a special nomenclature to differentiate the characters from their players, and they stick to it like a goddamn lifeline. Any tumblr mentioning the fandom in their bio also immediately follows that with a declaration as either an anti or an apologist for the guy who runs the server. A given creator could be voiceless, faceless, in Antarctica, or on tumblr standing behind you right now. Every bit of lighthearted fanart is paired with an oblique spoiler hinting that every single character and the land they walk on is doomed.
And then there is the very literal reverence for the dead. It's clear that for so many who followed the server in real time, Techno's death is a heavy weight to bear. At least for this latecomer, the legend of Technoblade can't be overstated. Knowing from the start that he wouldn't be there to see the end of this story has not lessened his impact within it. On the one hand, it's not terribly different from experiencing most of the classics-- I don't mourn for Jonathan Swift when I read A Modest Proposal. But on the other hand I know that I'm walking on an open wound. Perhaps it's best that I leave the topic at that.
Who's to say if this fandom will launch back into full force when the second season kicks off. I should probably be sure I'm outside the blast radius before that happens. But for now I'm grabbing all the potatoes I can carry and eyeing the plate of muffins cause man, there's a lotta delicious shit here.
Harpy Hare, where have you buried all your children?
happy pride grab that man by the tie and kiss em
LMFAOOO
5 years since the 16th!
happy 5 years everyone… are we feeling old yet
funniest way to watch the dsmp god i wish i was her
the end of dsmp was like the end of a play but instead of all the actors coming onto the stage and holding hands and taking a bow they all came out and started brawling and half the audience left and the other half stayed to watch
Drew the boy again
Sorry I was gone for so long ":3 here's Tommy, love him sm ❤️💫
*Don't touch. I sheared this stupid sheep myself
Bro what year is it...
i love the question ‘what advice would you give your younger self’ coz the scenario would probably play out like either of these
I remember seeing a post about how the most interesting media (or at least the easiest to become obsessed with) isn't the stuff that's a perfect masterpiece, nor is it the stuff that's utterly terrible. It's that media that straddles the line by being interesting and beautiful yet still having at least one glaring flaw. It's that gap between 'good' and 'perfect' that is the perfect size for fans to latch on to, to imagine what it would look like filled. A few missing puzzle pieces to look for or attempt to recreate that keep the puzzle from being put back into the box.
And I feel like dream smp is the poster child for that concept. The reason so many of us still can't bring ourselves to fully sever ourselves despite it not being relevant for years.
It's very nature lends itself to the concept. Yeah, it got writers and official lore once it started picking up, but it maintained that collaborative, improvisational format that meant even the most perfectly drawn up story could be hinted to be incomplete. It was a puzzle that could never have edge pieces, so no one knew how big it could be, what the full picture was supposed to look like.
Even those of us who have swiped it off the table and have it sitting in a dusty box on the shelf, sometimes see it out of the corner of our eyes and feel an itch to check between the cushions again.
what they don't tell you abt liking dsmp from 2020-22 ish is that you don't actually get to leave
it would be easier if i was just beaten to death with a shoe like a fly
Company in limbo
