ok fine one take from me. cc!Techno still sees the lore as a game he can win rather than a story he's helping to tell. he won't ever let his character be intentionally a bad person, or be killed off, because that would be losing.

if Techno had been a part of og L'Manburg, they would have won the independence war, Tommy would never have lost his discs - and the whole story would have been over by the end of September.

the fact that the richest people on the server keep saying "people matter more than materials, you plebs!" to the poor people and then using that as an excuse to bomb their country is... something.

"dont be mad that i nuked your home and community and everything you love! youre so fucking obsessed with the material! if you were a good person, all you would need to continue after that is people!" guys theyre poor as dirt, they actually need that shit. and their country was founded as a place for the poor and weak to protect each other, you are soooooo out of touch its awful

If you're into discourse, don't reply or reblog please. I don't wanna be involved.

You wonder why c!Tommy doesn't tell people about his trauma? He's afraid of being looked down upon. Don't wanna be babied or "you could have done this, you should have done that" or worst of all blamed for it, laughed at. Venting to the wrong person causes more damage then help.

i mean, techno did say "yeah locking a dude in a prison forever doesn't really line up with anarchist ideals" so he seems aware that its off

That kinda sucks even more ng ahskgfhg

like the cc was defending he like very valid takes last week. There is so much shit showing that it isn't the case that he thinks they should keep prisons, that he should die for his ideals when he doesn't have to and that he saw Tubbo as a dicator

I'm guessin it was necessary for plot stuff, and yeah we got some lampshadin, but it still really wasn't great. Like, I cannae defend Techno on this one. Guess i gotta root for Sam out as well

gonna kick a hornets nest here rq, no one kill me that post critiquing c!techno by khizuo? i agree basically 100% and that screenshot of the techno discord where he kinda argues against the idea of ‘oh techno never has anything bad happen :(’ where he basically vagues that post? thats. that really isnt the argument? the argument is that techno doesnt take real losses/that the narrative rewards him for his actions. no one is saying that absolutely nothing bad happens to him, it certainly does, but having bad things happen and a real narrative loss are two very different things.  for example, like. techno losing his items after the butcher army incident. i would argue that wasnt a real narrative loss since he basically immediately got them all back with very little issue, and then nuked a country in retaliation (a country who, again, only really struck out against him because they thought he was going to hurt them anyways, since no one informed them that he decided to go fuck off into the artic after threatening to destroy their country again if they rebuilt) i would say, he real first narrative loss in the entire story so far has been ranboo getting killed, and its kinda hard to explain but even that doesnt really feel like a loss since its kinda obvious that ranboo will get revived at some point/ that whole storyline feeling kinda rushed since people didnt really get a chance to stream that plotline before that bc of scheduling shit. also like... i dunno if this is the case, but it kinda comes off like maybe techno is taking these criticisms to heart a little? which i totally get, its hard to take criticism on your work, especially if youre happy with it/having fun with it, but like, idk, when its a group story like this you have to take into account the whole story and how youre actions can affect it, not just your little corner, yknow? ive done a lot of group roleplay stuff in my time, ive been a core writer for a story before, so id like to think im not like, talking out of my ass here. i just think like... you can be a really strong, powerful character, and still take losses, theyre important for a story. you were an english major before you dropped out, i know your know how story beats work, you have to take a loss before you get a win, or youre just. not writing a compelling story. idk. this has gotten kinda away from me. 

in conclusion: i think cc!technoblade is very cool but i think he should play some dnd or smth. c!technoblade is very fun but i think he needs to take a real L. and if i get vagued by the blade himself, which is unlikely bc i have less than 100 followers and never post shit like this, i want him to add my to the dsmp discord for i can make it not look like absolute shit, and then i will leave. yalls discord server organization is horrible and hurts my brain.

For the first time today I entered the technoblade tag on Tumblr dot com after a stream and i am so incredibly surprise by the amount of people who watch this walking meme of a dude expecting movie quality story telling

It's Minecraft dudes chill

// dsmp // rp // c!techno critical i will never forgive this fandom for hyperfocusing on technos “im a person” line and used it to demonize and hate on tommy, while completely ignoring tommys immediate response of “yes you are, but so are we”
