what they don't tell you abt liking dsmp from 2020-22 ish is that you don't actually get to leave

#i’m having a great time actually #occasionally i revisit old clips and videos and fall into the rabbit hole of lore discourse again #those were the days

tbh not fond of the “everyone is terrible who’s your favourite war criminal” framing of the dsmp I think it’s an over correction from the apologist discourses bc like. objectively some of these characters have done worse things than others. like most of them aren’t even war criminals “participating in a war” doesn’t equal “being a war criminal” that’s a specific thing. and outside of that some characters are abusive and others are like, vandals. these are not equal. “every character is awful and terrible” isn’t actually any more moral depth than “this character is a perfect angel and everyone else is awful and terrible” that’s still a really boring and fandom discourse brained way of looking at characters. some characters are objectively way worse than others that’s not a writing flaw or an attack on any character having characters who vary in terms of morality is in fact good for the plot and makes more interesting and better written characters. there’s a middle ground between “morality play One Good Guy vs Every Bad Guy” and “well everyone sucks equally” when it comes to analysing characters I think you’re so traumatised from the apologist era you’ve forgotten that.

YES it’s a deliberately written story where characters are meant to be both in the wrong and in the right because that’s how Stories And Conflict Work. there’s a degree of ambiguity yes (this is Also how stories work!) but it’s not “wow well because some situations are meant to be ambiguous and characters do both good and bad things they’re all equally bad funny war criminals” that’s as reductive as “this character is Good and Pure everyone else is Evil” and it’s also not actually complex.

(also i hope my disdain at people treating war crimes as inherently a Funny Word for Naughty Characters and not, like, irl abuse of power over innocent people shines through here too. please stop devaluing irl atrocities that happen for the sake of Pixels.)

dmsp was like those old movies that were absolutely stunning and had a really captivating sense of magic and color that we cant really capture today and then you google it and the wikipedia reads out how the filming killed like 30 people and permanently wounded 6 others

What if I cry

What if the reason Tubbo knows all the funeral rituals is because Tommy told him back during the first L'manburg War.

Tommy genuinely preparing for the chance he might die. And he wants someone to ensure he's laid to rest properly. and who would he trust more to do that other than his bestfriend?
