okay I'm gonna ramble a little about Lauren and Shubble's Witchcraft SMP videos because yay we love hyperfixation!!
Anyways, I kind of already see the two being outcasts? (And although I haven't watched Scott's episode, he also seems the very outcast type).
And I say this because, one. Lauren is a literal sandwich. She is just straight up a PB&J and that like.. if that isn't a reason for somebody to be an outcast what is?
She also has been living in the desert for years and no one visits/has visited before?? There's no way she isn't like incredibly lonely and horrible at normal social interactions (see; her meeting Joey for the first time)
And for Shelby, when she gets the letter invitation thing, she says something along the lines of "I'm surprised they invited me" followed by something about how people don't like getting wet.
That is an outcast line of I've ever seen one. She seemed genuinely confused by it too. Also, her having like a caravan and giant telescope is really interesting for me.
Alao also! I really like the character designs, if I'm being honest. The skins are so much different from even their other smp skins, so it's definitely interesting. I love Lauren's hair and Shub's outfit is amazing. (also can't wait for the fanart of both skins like god damn they gonna look amazing fr (also also WHITE HAIRED SHUBBLE))
And, I might be wrong, but have we already got a reference to ESMP S2? When seeing the ghost/ghoul/whatever you wanna call it, Shelby says something like "I can't deal with this again"? And I'm not caught up on S2 lore but isn't there a ghost in the Evermoore?
Idk I might just be spitballing. ANYWAYS ramble over I'm already really excited for lore and want more episodes LMAO.
