(hhdfh this is very random don't mind me, I just feel like talking to people) but if you've seen the dream smp streams today, what are your thoughts on everything that's happened/is happening? :0
I have, a whole lot of thoughts. I watched Tommy’s entire stream, then Tubbo’s from after he was exiled (and I popped in long enough on Quackity’s to know that he and George are still planning).
I personally have mixed feelings on the exile move. On like,,,an action standpoint I agree with Quackity, Fundy, and Tommy. I think that the exile only makes it more clear that Dream can do whatever he want to whoever he wants and get away with it- and by exiling Tommy it shows that even L’manburg, a country built on rebellion, still bows to his requests. I don’t think that Tubbo was wrong, bad, or even a villain in his position though, because I think he’s still hurting from the original destruction of L’manburg, and he did make a promise that he would take down the walls no matter the cost, and that he wouldn’t start unnecessary wars. I’ve never seen Tubbo with his hands so tied, the decision was a tough one, and he was right that they weren’t prepared.
However on a story standpoint? I really didn’t want another war. We just had one, and this had no build up for war, nor were any of them prepared, so I don’t think it would’ve been very....successful nor would it add much to the story besides what would’ve already likely happened. Storywise it’s unnecessary conflict. I definitely think there were more moves that could’ve been taken that would’ve been a bit more interesting and new that hasn’t been done in the history yet before, though it’s in the past now and I’m actually really excited for the next events.
Storywise for the exile, I think it’s great! It is extremely good with it’s parallel to Tommy and Wilbur’s first exile! I think it’s great to show how things have changed and how they’ve grown despite being put in the same situation.
Also, just a moment to appreciate Awsamdude and Ranboo!! They fully support Tommy and I can see Ranboo relaying information from L’manburg and the Dream SMP to Tommy and Wilbur. His private message to Tommy was sweet and it is nice to know that despite being exiled, Tommy won’t be truly alone. Sam is just nice, and I think it shows that the Badlands are on Tommy’s side, or at the very least Sam is. I really want the Badlands to make a push, they’ve been building power for so long that soon I feel like they can make a show of it.
I just made a post about my hopes for what could possibly happen in the future, at least for the Sleepy Bois Inc. part of the SMP.
In general I really want to see Phil’s thoughts. Tommy is canonically his youngest son, and he’s all on his own. I hope Phil helps them out at least a tiny bit- because they really did just have to start over and I don’t think a bunch of streams spent mining would be good content wise askdjhaskdjh.
I hope Technoblade becomes more than a secondary character and I really want, especially with Ghostbur there, him to get on at least okay terms with Tommy.
I loved the quick moment between Fundy and Dream, and the implication that there really are three different Dreams? In the book, it was evident that the Dream Fundy is dating is Dre. We’ve seen him before, he’s the goofy jokey one and he’s not as much of a dick as say, Dream. Dream is a dick, chaotic, but not quite cruel. Nightmare is the Dreamon, which was never fully exorcised, and is extremely chaotic and has no control or chill. I like that lore and I like that it seems Fundy, very easily, brings out the Dre of Dream? He did in the Dreamon hunter bit, and whenever he’s around Dream and mentions their relationship Dream sort of instantly goes soft for him? I think that is interesting and useful information for later.
I loved the Logsted bit, the prime log, and the campsite (and Tommy actually losing his mind at an apple).
I loved Ghostbur’s comments on Dream like ‘he’s not very nice is he’ and stuff. I know its because he lost his memory but idk I find it charming and kind of funny.
I have no idea why Tommy didn’t do what Wilbur did and like,,,, keep some of his items in his inventory and act like that was all of them.
Oh! Also! Technoblade’s stream yesterday, he stated that he’ll be the writer of the next arc (after the whole exile one. i have no idea if that arc ends today, or if it ends after a few more events) and that has me excited because it means rather than having a lot of metaphors and references back to history and hamilton, there may be more referencing back greek stories, plus he’s a english major drop out so writing go brrr.
I am sure you probably weren’t expecting me to write this much but i REALLY have a lot of thoughts and not a lot of people to share it with.
