thoughts on ending to energy games? :D I'm kinda impressed with it. Bliss is legit the most scripted unscripted server bc wdym the power of friendship actually ended what was shaping up to be the third juggernaut on the LE team

The energy game rulemaking got very clever, and it played such a huge role in the ending. I'm also so impressed with stormz and his planning. Like giving haste 2 to counter pinity running away underground to summoning Saturn and kantje online to get energy to make maces craftable. hazel happening to have a heavy core on hand worked out amazingly well, and ofc we got instant gratification from pinity falling into a pit and hazel landing two totem pops. Legitimately has to be scripted bc wtf!!!! It was so satisfying to watch after 3 grueling hours of chasing. 

i really hope he makes a video on this whole thing bc DAMN his story goes hard- gaining heretic from his relationship with LE then losing it in a tragic 2v1 while his friends refused to help/he refused to ask for help, then feeling isolated and alienated from the entirety of the server including his friends. Pinity betrays and he has a fight with dumb bc they team with kantje. Then energy games hits, he faces trials and tribulations, teams back up with dumb, but faces setback after setback RIGHT before the finale with the froggers kill getting stolen from them in a rather scummy (albeit smart) move. Dumb accidentally getting the nebula kill, sanz dying, teaming getting banned, and dumb letting stormz kill them bc they don't wanna play anymore... and then stormz still sticking in the game even tho all hope is conceivably lost and everyone around him has quit. then hopping on regardless and teaming with nemvevo(!!!). Then getting kantje and Saturn to log on so he can kill them to make a risky play (possibly giving pinity the chance to craft a mace) that worked out so well. Then nem personally gifting him auratus !!!!!! 

The parallels between the heretic gift from LE and the auratus gift from the bunny buddies are INSANE. Him receiving heretic isolated him and made him a target. it was given to him in consideration of his past, bc of his history with LE. It's backward looking. But him receiving auratus was bc he fought for it. It was given to him with consideration for the future- nem and hazel literally were talking about needing to plan for finale, and about making friends and building bridges. Instead of making him paranoid and fearful like heretic did, auratus makes him confident and bold. It's such amazing unintentional storytelling and I'm actually so in awe. I desperately hope he plays his video out like this. It's the literal perfect storytelling. 

also ps bc it's getting too long but there's also something so poetic about how stormz wins despite not fighting at the end. How his instinct is to bash his head into the wall over and over again and yet ultimate victory only came when he strategized and actually called upon others for help. How he had to trust people he called his enemies for so long and they delivered. How most (if not all) of his kills were because people let him kill them- quakitus, dumb, kantje, Saturn, and not bc he actually fought them. GOD ITS SO FUCKING PEEEEAAAAAKKKKKKKK like this is why stormz is my favorite character im so biased he's jsut so goated 😭 😭 😭 

(Sorry for the long ask again I keep typing too much....... I'm just so HYPED AAAA) 

My first answer got voided so this one might be a bit shorter LOL sorry nonny.

I realllyy liked the ending, it was super fun and also just reinforced the scripted-unscripted nature of bliss. the remaining contenders banding together with the power of friendship to kill the Wicked Witch Of The West.. waow.... Bliss smp truly was our My Little Pony...

I loved the rulemaking they added in egames, it made everything so much more fun and made people think deeper than just splashing pots and right clicking LOL It was so fun to see people banding together energy on rules when the whole point of the games was to gain energy, not waste/use it - very smart on LE's end. Flux being instabanned, to pearl banning, to the kit being changed, which ultimately did snowball into Pinity being our villain of the week, and then shields being banned too.

Stormz thinking of the mace rule was lowk a godsend because he was just thinking on challenging Pinity to a 1v1 and basically just throwing himself at a brick wall which. just no. So thinking on the Mace Rule considering a good amount of the guests wouldn't have heavy cores was such a good idea. Haste 2 for moling was also really really good to shorten tracking and make sure the fight is facing one another instead of running.

He did say he was going to make a video on egames, but I'm unsure if he's going to add the heretic->kantje->dumb timelines but I really, really hope he does. The parallels and the symbolism goes sooo fucking harrddd. The amount of setbacks he faced were so... AUUGHHH... i was clutching my head so hard during the 4 hour run to get kills... them chasing froggers for like, 2 hours and Pinity sneaking in for the kill instead, Dumb getting the kill credit like 2 times, ending with her and Stormz being split up and Dumb deciding to drop out of egames and get Stormz the kill.. oof. Stormz always getting back up again.

During the stream and being high on emotion/adrenaline, I honestly didn't want Stormz to get auratus but after a while and rewatching the vod, he really did deserve it. he really did.

The difference between Heretic and Auratus in the context of Stormz specifically is so. It makes me so ill. He received Heretic because of his actions of violence and fighting(pvp) both his past in TE, and his relentless throwing-himself-at-a-brick-wall during honored one event despite his drained resources. Heretic matched him so well (both in his ability to use it and color scheme) because it kept him stagnant in his bad habits and further perpetuated them, it actively symbolized his inability to let go of his destructive methods and further pushed him into the mindset of how the only thing he's good for is fighting. Heretic was him drowning in his mindset and is what led to him being alone, and leading to him losing Heretic.

Auratus, however, is the antithesis to that. Auratus is a movement gem, symbolizing moving on and growing, and him receiving Auratus when he attempted a new method and grew from his old ways is just so. so. sigh. Auratus being the 'angelic' gem and completely seeming the opposite of Stormz is what makes what Auratus symbolizes(change and growth) seem so impossible and so far out of reach for him. Stormz ditching his methods of blindly running at a brick wall, picking that sword up no matter what, and instead playing from the sidelines, playing the social game, and that leading to him getting Auratus. He got Auratus because of Nem talking about how he moved on and how the beef of TE just washed away, and that Stormz really does deserve it,,, because of Change. His actions that led him to receiving Heretic isolated him while his actions in receiving Auratus healed his relations. He's also completely ass at Auratus further symbolizes how he doesn't do this, how this is genuinely something completely new for him, but he got given this chance either way and that he has time to get better. There Is Always time. And anyway, he has a team this time, he has people.

Its just. clutches head. His obvious regressing habits that he falls back on time and time again being pvp and fighting, which further damage him and his circle, and the time he refuses to go that route and plays behind the scene instead of on the battlefield, he gets rewarded for it. Determination bro. determination.

Also retrograde(nem&stormz) sighs. Nem embodying Change and Moving on and Growth and him gifting Auratus to Stormz basically representing him giving Stormz that chance and ability to get better and better. To grow. It's the perfect leadup into a s4 teamup, im telling you, Iamstormz LOCK IN.

noticed something about how bliss sees dolphin and mugm

[torchdaisies]

I think the difference in silva's protector complex between the start of the server and now is really interesting to think about

back then, he held onto this vague idea of heroism in order to feel like she had a place in the narrative, to feel like she belonged. a naive, but sincere belief that she was ultimately doing The Right Thing by fighting against "The Villains" (brotherhood), which allowed that purpose to persevere even when the people they originally meant to protect (team friendship) weren't really There anymore. in joining brotherhood later on, silva functionally gave up on that purpose (aside: it’s funny, that the moment he Gave Up on the idea that playing hero would get her anywhere, silva losing the DG mugm duel, took place on the island that team friendship was meant to move to. something about childish dreams that never came to fruition). but the transition to brotherhood went fine despite the loss of that purpose and direction because bhood had a rigid structure in of itself—that being how the team applies roles to its members alongside their pre-established ultimate finale end goal—to give that same sense of security.

it’s kind of funny that what usually would mark a now-forever-jaded type of character development for most other people, silva joins bhood and. gets More empathetic towards others than she was before. the real thing silva loses when she joins bhood is the ability to mark certain people off as Evil Supervillains That Must Be Killed because with their experience with bhood, that means they've been on and seen every side of the argument. so, when even the brotherhood's structure collapsed, silva was thrown into a situation where he deeply understood everyone else’s—nezo feeling used and taken for granted, mugm feeling unappreciated for the work he’s put in, puqi desperately wanting to hold a team together that’s actively slipping through her hands—it's no wonder silva just kind of. Shut Down. nothing was holding him together anymore, and growing past the childish hero/villain mindset he had before now only meant that all he could see now was clouds of grey.

but right before the formation of iris, silva chose to pick the role of protector back up in order to give herself a purpose, no longer wanting to wander aimlessly. but the thing is that this inherently necessitates a mindset separating the "to be protected" from the "to be protected against", something that's directly contradictory to the immense empathy that silva displays, because of what silva understands to be true—that everybody is just another person with their own struggles. and you can't exactly unlearn any of that (which is why we get the moments of impulsive kindness that silva consciously rationalizes herself Out of because they arent Supposed to be doing that, especially not on the bliss smp of all places), so instead, silva becomes willfully ignorant. the idea of morality is no longer relevant to this version of their protector complex. the only thing that matters, above all else, is that quakitus is safe. and so silva represses, brushes off, shuts down her own critical thoughts of whatever quakitus is Actually Doing on the server. because getting caught up in all of that distracts from The Direction. fulfilling Their Purpose.

it’s interesting that at the beginning of the server silva was willing to leave team friendship behind for the sake of protecting them from afar, even being aware that it would be hard on them mentally. and Nowadays silva says shit like “if quakitus ends up hating me then it means I failed” and near immediately backpedaling on bringing up any sort of issue to quakitus because it makes q Feel Bad, etc. silva isn't a protector because she thinks it's the right thing to do anymore. silva is a protector because that role, the only thing remaining to give her a sense of stability and security, is the last thing tethering her to this reality. it's the only way for them to survive. it's a trauma response. sure, it was her own choice, but if somebody thinks they have only one choice, did they actually choose anything?

i love bliss smp's storytelling and this is my two cents. i am incredibly sick, so hope my thoughts are as coherent as i want them to be. please don't take this analysis and go attack kantje or whoever with it. don't be that kind of person. may is mental health awareness month. you matter, and you are loved. ----------- what happened with kantje and stormz mirrors real life mental health care systems in a way that it's flawed, biased, and more often than not makes people feel even worse than before. by utilizing what stormz says in their private lore talk to get information and perspectives from other bliss members that you probably wouldn't get normally, not did kantje break stormz's trust but also fueled the toxic and stigmatizing image that bliss members had of stormz already. stormz's vulnerable feelings are being weaponized against him. kantje is like a therapist, and this breach of confidentiality is a ethical violation that happens in real life healthcare. in addition, kantje saying he wants to help stormz, but also saying something like "if my words hurt you, then it's your fault" is the same kind of hypocrisy and victim blaming that bad therapist do to invalidate what someone went through (by the way, this is not me saying that stormz isn't also responsible for the actions he has taken). in conclusion, kantje's lore talk hurt stormz, just like how therapy can affect individuals negatively in real life. therapy doesn't always work for everyone, and that's the unfortunate reality.
