i could have a whole analysis post about factions on the realm, because it is a very interesting system that shaped most of the conflicts on the realm as well as even some characters' fates and morals. an interesting tangent, however, that i always get stuck on is how, when woogie was playing on the realm, when him and fit (iirc?) were talking, fit equated lifesteal teams as being adjacent to factions.

now, he wasn't technically wrong, but i always think about woogie's response to that statement: saying that technically he was right, but teams weren't so...set in stone as they were on the realm, where everyone knows who you are aligned with and where everything is rigid and fixed and kind of hard to change.

it's such a small detail but i've thought about it for months and i really think that it shows a big part of why factions don't work for so many of the characters on the realm. there's little room for flexibility or nuance, and you're either all or nothing for your faction, exception or exactly like the preconceived image. it's very interesting to meee...

this isn’t what i normally post here but firefox just switched ceos and this “anthony” dumbass is trying to put more “ai” slopware into it, meaning more bloat and privacy loss

if you use this browser you should go to their support forums and complain about it

Beautiful screenshot of the last Quakitus stream

And my sketch of this moment :3 I wanna redraw it some other time make it look more cool and majestic

[torchdaisies]

one of bliss smp’s central shared narratives is that every character is in a constant pursuit of happiness/safety/power, often interlinked—their own definition of ‘bliss’. even the prophet itself is pursuing his own definition of bliss, because the prophet’s purpose in this world is to reach the state of true bliss, which I believe is a state wherein everyone on the server reaches their own state of bliss (one of the lines prophet whispered to quakitus reminds me a lot of this idea; “greatness isn’t just a contest… it’s like a constellation, many points make one shape, and if you remove one, the pattern is gone.”)

something that interests me in particular is that in the season trailer for s2, the cycles of the server, the seasons, are presented as trials. tests. experiments, maybe. bliss smp’s cyclical nature is the server constantly reinventing itself in pursuit of the state of true bliss facilitated by the prophet, who always shows up near the end of the season to ‘test’ the server. to see if this trial was successful, and if not, well, they’ll have to try it all over again.

(this next part is gonna get a little meta but frankly ignoring bliss’s metanarrative is a disservice considering how interlinked it is with the main narrative LOL)

the thing is, the state of true bliss is. kind of unobtainable? atleast, unobtainable for as long as people want to keep playing the server. the antithesis to the state of true bliss is content and entertainment, and the prophet’s thematic opposite is the manifestation, who I personally believe to be the embodiment of this. she’s talked a decent amount about doing things interestingly, about leaving a mark, having fun with it! (she also notably called prophet a buzzkill once which is really funny).

bliss is, fundamentally, a content server. and for everyone to get exactly what they want (this is impossible on its own too lowk), for everyone’s characters to reach their resolution, there would simply be no more content to make. to reach the state of true bliss (and for that to actually mean something), the server would end.

ironically, prophet claims to want to save the server, while pursuing something that ultimately means its true end. and by mani facilitating the end of the season in such a destructive manner, making it end in calamity, she’s ensuring that the cycles keep spinning.

Yes, Season Six spacewaffles is about grief and mourning and letting go, but it’s also about how romantic monogamous marriage in a heteronormative society is hell and will ruin your life. We can’t be forgetting this. It’s about grief and also how getting married and moving out to a small apartment in the mountains away from all your friends is the single worst thing you could possibly do with the beautiful bisexual nonbinary person who has been the center of your world for the past few years and how trying to do that will leave both of you miserable and unfulfilled and it will make them kill themself eventually.
