guys c!dream was so hot while threatening people or is that just me….. like that one scene with c!tommy where he asks him to put his stuff in the pit … 🔥🥵🥵

idc that he looked “hot” while doing that, c!quackity was EVIL for torturing c!dream. he did NOTHING to deserve that.

Thinking about how the ending of dsmp vol. 1 had a moral of "if you're mentally ill just kys" and "just apologize to your abuser and it'll all poof better <3"

[griancraft]

If cranboo has a bad ending guess I’m just gonna have to ignore it because I think that’s a terrible way to end that story. Tragedy without catharsis doesn’t make a good ending especially here.

Some common misconceptions in the genshin fandom that I have noticed in no particular order:

1. Zhongli can't make more because he doesn't have his gnosis.

He can make mora, he just doesn't want to as he is living like a mortal and mortals can't make mora.

Chapter 1: Act III

Zhongli: As the Rex Lapis, I can easily create Mora. But since I have chosen to walk this earth as the mortal Zhongli, I should abide by the same rules that mortals do.

Another proof would be in the first chapter of Zhongli's story quest, Historia Antiqua, where it says the first house in Liyue was made of mora and Liyue was founded long before the end of the Archon War. It is strongly implied gnoses were created with the establishment of the Seven.

2. People of Inazuma didn't know their god has a twin.

They did know about Ei's existence but not her and Makoto switching places.

Treasured tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi has both Ei's and Makoto's names. Ei said this book is "largely accurate" up until Orobashi's death which later turns into "wishful thinking". (In my opinion Inazumans knowing about it is more debatable so I would love to discuss it)

3. Xiao's first/original name is Alatus.

Most people assume it's his original name pre being saved by Zhongli. However, it is not possible as not only people of Liyue call him Alatus (Yakshas: The Guardian Adepti) but also Bosacius refers to Xiao as General Alatus in the Chasm Interlude chapter.

A little c!Dream monologue on Dream’s private. Let’s talk about it.

So, little reminder, snakes bite because they need to to survive, to protect themselves. Poison is expensive to make, that’s why lots of them bite without it or warn before attacking.

c!Dream, on the other hand, does that for fun, and that’s was often confirmed by c!Dream himself, when he said that c!Tommy was fun to mess with, that destroying L’Manburg was much more fun than just burning the discs, when he giggled and laughed while tormenting c!Tommy in exile.

Do snakes enjoy wasting their resource on something they won’t eat?

And does that make c!Tommy and L’Manburg snake food, or c!Dream - not a snake?

Okay um… very very controversial opinion here on innitblr but I actually think it’s good that C!Tommy is being isolated and that the other characters are reacting negatively to him. Now don’t get me wrong I love my boy! I want a happy ending for him BUT- for any of c!Dream’s future lore to work c!Tommy needs to be vulnerable. Point blank. I understand it’s exhausting but it’s a crucial part of what makes Dream a credible threat. I don’t care how strong the dude is, if everyone on the server collectively got together to protect Tommy, Dream couldn’t do shit. And THAT wouldn’t be helpful in the slightest. Now I won’t speak on whether the in between points to get there are any good because I haven’t watched Puffy’s lore and as for Bad I think it’s in character for him. That’s not what I’m trying to argue though. What I’m arguing is that in the long run c!Tommy’s story has always benefitted from being used as a scapegoat. Now that that’s out of the way-

Can I say how excited I am for c!Wilbur to try and protect c!Tommy? They’re brothers!!! Or c!Quackity making good on his promise to support Tommy? C!AIMSEY MEETING HIM POINT BLANK???? Just- just trust in the process guys.

Gonna say this here cuz i think if i say it on twt I’ll probably get doxxed and the fucking swat team will show up at my house (also this is just like kind of irrelevant rn considering mcc is on break rn so like buildmart discourse is at an all time low anyway)

Buildmart more than anything is a game abt communication and teamwork and it’s basically the only event in mcc that is this way, the fact that the only participants who want it gone ADAMANTLY are the people in the dsmp who struggle the most with coordination and working with others on lore says a lot abt just their character in general. Obviously buildmart isnt perfect and i agree that it can be improved (it’s definitely better w the new map). I just feel like w all the discourse happening abt lore organization on the dsmp it’s important to keep in mind that a lotta ppl from the dsmp are notoriously against buildmart while if you take the empires crew, they actually enjoy buildmart and are able to coordinate and organize lore far better and more consistently than the dsmp crew. I just think it’s interesting that weve seen buildmart (a communication game at its core) get dogpiled on by a bunch of creators on the dsmp and then immediately ppl act shocked when there’s no communication within the server
