Hey! Californian here! Please do not come here for VidCon.

Please. The number of Covid cases here has spiked with kids going back to school, and the Delta variant is hitting us hard. Conventions like VidCon are not worth it. Simply not. To see your favorite streamer IRL is not worth the huge risk to yourself and other people.

Theres Youtube videos, there’s Twitch vods, there’s other ways to see your favorite streamer and to get their content that are so much safer than coming to this huge convention just to see them in 3-D. It’s just not worth it. Conventions like this are not safe to be having while still in the midst of a Global Pandemic. It’s a superspreader event, and people will inevitably get sick.

It is so irresponsible of people to even be letting the convention happen this year. Even if you are vaccinated, even if you think you’re safe, it’s not worth it. If not for yourself, think of all the other people. All the other people who could get sick, all the people who could be carrying and spreading this virus, or the (more contagious!!) Delta variant.

Please. Do not come to VidCon. Do not encourage your friends to come. There will be other opportunities to see content creators when it is safer, and when there are not thousands of lives at risk.

I know I’ve said it a bunch, but I cannot emphasize it enough: VidCon is not worth it.

Please stay safe.

Tommy and Drista: *hanging out and having fun*

Tommy, out of nowhere: I'm so scared of being gaslighted, I never know if it's real or not.

theory with the two protagonists (tommy and ranboo)

with enough theories and tweets by the audience of the dsmp roleplay, i think its safe to assume that both c!tommy and c!ranboo are the protagonists of the storyline. both being somehow affected by dream. but, that's the only thing connecting those two characters together. there is barely any evidence and ideas out there that are able to somehow connect ranboo and tommy without making shit up. (/lh), and having barely or any proper evidence to support that idea. as well, the two protagonists aren't that close. most of their interactions relying on tubbo. the only time we really see/saw them together is right before the exile arc. otherwise, its all kinda nonsense from there. might i also add, they are protagonists on opposite sides of the spectrum. ranboo being a reticent and polite character. he is half endermen and half some other piece of shit (lmao). as shown through many streams, ranboo seems to be filling in for c!tommy. (i just wanted to clarify that this is all role-play, and i am talking about CHARACTER tommy!) living w/ techno and phil like tommy used to, and also having a strong bond w/ tubbo. the thing is, he CANT replace tommy in the story. how? one, the audience will not like that. and he doesnt have that same bad(ass) troublemaker personality. tommy is this loud obnoxious person, that likes to cause havoc on the server. so far, all we know is that he is human and ONLY human. thats it. no powers, no nothing. just a normal human being. he is hated by almost everyone on the server, and severely traumatized. though, they both intertwine things of the lore in different ways. a tale of two cities is connected to the lore because of ranboo.(ranboo is then connected by dream) mostly everything else is because of tommy. right now, i feel like the reason why we aren't getting the best interaction is because of tubbo. the duo before ranboo was there was tubbo and tommy. it would be a bit weird and random to suddenly thow tubbo out of the spotlight. as we saw in tubbos latest lore stream, he starts to open up about his trauma and execution. i may be wrong, but what i think is gonna happen is tubbo is going to be the one to find help first. in order to bring ranboo and tommy on the same path, tubbo needs to move a bit, which is clearly progressing. tubbo is now healing, having a family, and being with the one he loves. now im not sure what exactly is going to happen, since it seemed like tubbo is going to be apart of some type of las nevadas shit. if tubbos streams are more like this, and him being busy with it, this can leave ranboo and tommy together. not hundred percent sure how or what will happen to bring the two together. maybe dream hurts tubbo? they both have an insanely strong connection with the boy, and i wouldnt be surprised if thats the reason they get closer.

now, what else could also be happening is the complete opposite with what i jus stated here. instead of taking him out, they bring tubbo more in the spotlight. since quackity is here, something or someone has to connect him with the big and main plot idea. maybe tubbo is going to connect it? who knows. all i can say is that the dsmp story line is quite confusing, and i'm pretty sure wilbur and dream have an idea where to go with this. i just hope it isn't anything awkward and random. though, my next question is what micheal is going to be apart of the dsmp story line. but with that, we need to see a lore stream with him in it.

going back to the topic, i can definitely tell that tommy and ranboo are going to end up having a closer bond, and work with each other more commonly (this is also me trying to lie to myself that we will be getting allium duo content because i need it). having them interact already and so close on the first day when tommy gave the tour could have to do with something. the flower, and the instant connection that both ranboo and tommy have for eachother. even though tommys took some time, you can clearly tell that it is there, and will only get stronger from here :]

Masks or No Masks?

!! PLEASE READ. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS WAS ON UR HOMEPAGE, BUT IT ISN'T TALKING ABOUT THE HASHTAG I ADDED. I JUST WANTED TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO READ IT. THANK YOU !!

!! THERE IS BIAS IN THE WRITING, SO DON'T EXPECT THE BEST IDEAS !!

this isn't something that I'd usually write, but I was bored, so enjoy :]

It’s been a good year or so ever since COVID 19 was declared a pandemic. Businesses closing left to right, hospitals holding less and less vacancy, and deaths increasing. With vaccines released and COVID seeming to give off a less severe impact in our lives now, people have wondered whether to keep the masks on or stuff them away in their closets. This will be my take on the situation.

Masks have been a great help with containing the virus. Able to slow the spread and keep everyone safe. Relying on those face coverings and suddenly removing them doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe it’s because I’m still worried about getting the virus since there have been cases of new variants and the vaccine’s effectiveness. There have been people still getting COVID even being vaccinated. Though the symptoms have been toned down, and many survive. This doesn't mean avoid getting vaccinated. If you want to get back to that ordinary lifestyle, get vaccinated! It brings down the risk of the virus spreading. Honestly, it may not be perfect, but it's the best thing we have. Now, I’m not saying if you have already been maskless since you’ve been vaccinated is terrible; it’s just a bit of a risk.

The risk is either you are around vaccinated people or not. This risk increases if you are maskless in a building with people you don’t know. There are still many people out there who haven’t been vaccinated, even though they can be. If you want to lower that risk but still roam mask-free, still follow the six-foot rule. Maybe even three feet at the closest. Of course, this is all my opinion from the whole “masks or no masks” situation, but I feel that people should still be cautious as they roam around without a mask. We aren’t back to that mundane lifestyle yet. If we all just walked out maskless, with no social distancing, things can get back to how they were before. We’re doing quite well, and I’m confident no one wants to go back to being locked in our homes all day.

Overall, if you are vaccinated and feel like you don’t need to wear a mask, that’s fine! If you want to keep the mask, that’s all right as well. Some people are still dubious roaming around without masks (like me), and others zeal for moments to be free from it. Let’s just be careful walking around without masks because we aren’t exactly done with covid yet.

c!dream obsession with c!tommy?

REMEMBER THIS IS JUST THE ROLEPLAY CHARACTERS!

as we saw in the latest technoblade lore stream, dream asks how tommy's doing. now, this honestly doesn't seem weird at all, but once you start to think about how he constantly asks about his state, and what tommy is doing, it seems like dream is a bit obsessed with tommy. maybe its just a puppet type of thing, but he doesn't really act the same way with ranboo. (based on what was on techno's stream) now, what could the reason behind this be? attention, i think.... (lmao). i mean, the whole dsmp blew up ever since tommy joined, regardless with lore or not. this could be one of the reasons why dream is so power-hungry. he must have felt some type of jealousy when tommy became the center of attention. that is c!tommy's personality. an obnoxious teenager, who causes havoc on the server, of course, he would be a big deal. i dont think dream wanted to keep tommy alive. considering how he was always the one to kill tommy. i feel like he started to get more corrupt with power, and realized that tommy had brought some type of significance to the server. everyone had something they were attached too. and eventually, dream continued out his plan in a different way. wanting to keep tommy out of sight (no center of attention) but keeping that spark of possession. this was just a random thought i had while watching techno's stream, and this might all be bs, but i feel like this isnt that bad.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED "TALK"

Cancel Culture and “Educating” On Twitter

WARNING: THERE IS A LOT OF BIAS AND OPINIONS IN THIS, I WAS JUST RANTING MY THOUGHTS ON TWITTER.

thank you and enjoy :D

Before quarantine, many content creators were not as big as they are now—Dream, Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Ranboo, Corpse, so on so forth. They have grown enormously ever since the start of lockdown. With growing that fast in under a year, a vast fanbase starts to form as well. Twitter has now almost wholly controlled the MCYT fandom (Minecraft Youtubers) and having at least one to two things on the trending tab about their content creators. Many things can go wrong with a huge fanbase. But having a fanbase that is controlling a big social media site makes it worse. We have seen some of those moments throughout this year.

Twitter has two sides when they want to give content creators criticism. It’s either “educating” them with threads or just bluntly saying how they need to get better. However, both things start with the “trigger warning” represented like this: //(insert content creator name) neg. The neg is short for negative. Many of those negative thoughts get trending whenever a content creator does something their fandom doesn’t like. It’s almost expecting them to be perfect. They analyze every tweet and move their content creator makes. Once they finally find them trip a little, they announce it. Now there are some relatively rare times where Twitter is correct. As in making content creators stop some type of ACTUAL hurtful behavior. (when I refer to actual I mean behavior that affects EVERYONE on social media, not just Twitter. So, when people on other social media sites are talking about it, and are having similar views.) In this situation, you would expect them to use the educating type of idea. Well, no. Twitter users like to make it more threatening, and from what I understand, it makes the content creators understand better…? This is just wrong and disgusting to find these tweets about these small mistakes these content creators make.

Talking about those content creators. Each of them resolves the problem(s) differently. It’s either writing a lengthy apology on Twitter or apologizing on stream. Sometimes, their apologies are well made, and Twitter is happy. But if they are not good enough, people would tweet things as in, “what a half-hearted apology” or “what type of apology is that”. Usually, those apologies that aren’t the best are like that because of constant Twitter pressure. Yup, who would have known. If a content creator is still active during the trending of their name, like trying to get a video out, Twitter will start attacking them. In short, Twitter expects the BEST apology in a short amount of time. What they don’t understand is that content creators also need to figure out what the hell they did wrong. It’s not easy. Twitter doesn’t understand the stress of having thousands of people constantly attacking you on the spot. Twitter just thinks they know.

Now, you see how I keep referring to Twitter and only Twitter. Well, on other platforms like Tumblr and Youtube, people have very different opinions compared to Twitter. If it’s something to do with people of color (POC), Twitter is the one to over-react in these types of situations, while POC on other platforms seems to just laugh at that joke. Most of these “over-reactions” are because most of these people tweeting are white, not POC. Pretty much, it’s just white people speaking for POC. To make it clear, if you are someone who is ACTUALLY hurt by what the joke targets, go ahead and voice your opinion. It's just, I HATE IT when white people speak for POC. Expressed by many POC, they don’t like that and never will. So, in short, Twitter is just a place with overly sensitive users. (haha)

Now, my opinion on this whole thing. As a POC, most of these jokes that seem to hurt Twitter are honestly not that bad; they are pretty funny. Sometimes, I don’t understand how people get so overly sensitive over those jokes. I'm not saying that you can't hate on them. It's human nature, you gotta at least dislike something in life. I've seen it many times, people on Twitter like to put a trigger warning to the person and content creator Schlatt. Haha, yea, A REAL PERSON. I get it, he has made some REALLY messed up jokes, that I don't even find funny, but putting a trigger warning. Come on now. The real problem with Twitter I have had for a long time is how they can take things WAY TO FAR.

Two good examples are the Karl Jacobs drama and Tommyinnit drama. Karl Jacobs is a friend of the famous Youtuber, Mr. Beast, and a part of the DSMP (Dream SMP). Some old tweets were resurfaced about Karl supporting a content creator that has said slurs and very racist jokes. Of course, Twitter starts their routine by trending the two words, “karl neg.” This is trending for a few days. Eventually, Karl begins to stream for this whole drama on Twitter. His apology was acceptable, but the thing that pissed me off was when someone had called Karl asking him if he had eaten. Twitter had affected Karl’s health, causing him to starve himself. This is quite similar to what happened to Tommy. Twitter had affected his health, but instead of apologizing, they use that against him. Tommy streams on his alt account, and the stream was just a QandA stream. Eventually, they hit the topic of “tommy neg.” (He streamed a day after tommy neg was trending) He starts apologizing but started mixing his words up. He was very nervous and anxious about the whole thing. Why do you think he was scared? Twitter! Haha… He starts going on the topic of him going to therapy. A few minutes, tommy neg is trending AGAIN. Two days in a row. On the first day, there were some good tweets about whatever Tommy had done, but the second one was just stupid remarks towards Tommy. People on Twitter used his anxiety and therapy talk against him. They were still getting mad at him. This was vile to see and read. Who has the guts to use someone’s mental health problems against them? Oh well, that’s Twitter for you. Continuing about Tommy’s alt stream, there were multiple times when he looked like he would have a panic attack or just start breaking down. His whole stream lasted for about an hour. Eventually, tommy neg was filled with people with the same opinions as me. Such as how horrible it was to see people use his therapy against him.

In short, Twitter has become a very toxic place for both people in the fandom and their content creators. They are affecting mental health as well. Having many white people speak on our behalf in these jokes or stereotypes is tiring. We understand you have the privilege, but please use that privilege when it is ACTUALLY needed. Honestly, I find it so funny yet heartbreaking that white people are over here trying to "teach" a GAMER about how to be better when they can use that "white privilege" for other topics that are ALSO discussed on Twitter. (yea! other topics are discussed on the platform! I was even surprised) The DSMP fandom on Twitter is just a place of overly sensitive users.
