Mumza HC:

The first time she had met her champion, he was lost. Her woods was ever growing, roots and paths twisting and turning growing denser by the day. She had a job to protect all those in it for she was as much of Life as she was of Death for you could not have one without the other. She was to let him starve like those before him, an ever watchful crow kept an eye on him while she watched from a twig and torn throne. That is until the crow felt the piercing of an arrow through it. Lady Death, or as Philza would later dub her Kristin, could only watch in horror as one of her family was struck down from a tree. Soon after, however, gentile hands curled around the small body as a potion was poured on the punctured wing. The man, the one in green, had save the crow from the misfortune of a skeletons arrow. Perhaps, just maybe this human wasn't as bad as the rest, she thought, as she created a path way for him to leave.

She was right, as he came again and again to her forests. Occasionally with one of the Blood gods disciples, he would visit and leave with out disturbing the nature around him. Eventually, she would rather think that it was she he was visiting, not just the beauty of nature.

(If you are in the Ranboo discord and already saw this, no you didn't. Shhhhh)

I'm feeling another Mumza one so here's Mumza & Techno:

Philza had always returned to her. There was never a doubt in her mind, that her blessed, her loved would return to her. She couldn't stop the pull of Death, but Lady Luck owes a few favors and well, Phil was plenty capable on his own before she gave him the ability to never age in body. Her love would not die of something of old age, despite the peace that may come with it.

She never doubted his ability to live, but her inhuman heart fluttered everytime his soul got close to her veil. This time was no diffrent. She had been in a constant state of panic ever since she had felt him close a few days ago. He- he hadn't pulled back. He was so close to her warm embrace, but Kristin wanted nothing more than for him to fade away once again.

She was working, distracting herself with other matters when a report comes in about at pig-like man at the edge of the forest, calling for Lady Death, the familiar form of Philza in his arms.

This man reeks of her, of the dreaded Blood God and yet the worry in his face was as real as hers.

There have only been two mortals allowed to leave the forest of Lady Death alive, though once that rumor spreads as far as the Tundra, all Philza and Techno can do is shake their heads.

DREAM SMP LORE DOCUMENTS

hi hi hi !! so, ive been compiling a ton of information about the dream smp for over five months now (starting from dec 6th, 2020) !!! ive created multiple documents that are essentially over-the-top descriptions and general play-by-plays of each lore stream. it’s over 130k words total (and counting) with 613 pages written thus far (split between multiple docs).

there are currently two main docs: dsmp s2 & dsmp s3. the streams are all in chronological order from december 6th to the present, and the table of contents links directly to each individual stream :]

the other four docs are a catch-up guide for s1 (and the start of exile), territories & characters for seasons 2 and seasons 3, and then a recreation of all important documents for the third season !

the quality of each document improves as time goes on, and it’s very quote-heavy — especially in season 3 ! images are used for reference in the more confusing scenes, such as those that rely upon imagery (like quackity’s recent lore streams)

almost every conversation of dream’s since ranboo became heavily involved in the lore is included in this ! his character is a fascinating one, and i’ve done my best to capture him in a more objective sense, focusing on his actions and dialogue rather than allowing any personal interpretations to cloud the writings. of course, i’m not perfect, but i’ve done my best to do this throughout for all characters involved !

the intent behind these was to ensure that those that have missed streams and are unable to find the time to catch up are able to do so, and those that have a difficult time rewatching the clips/vods would be able to revisit them. i know that a lot of the streams touch upon heavy topics, so i hope that these documents can allow people to review them while being able to avoid possible triggers

there are content / trigger warnings included in the beginning of the primary docs! please proceed with caution, a lot of streams can get really heavy at times

i’m the sole owner and editor of all the docs listed/linked above ! i am only one person, so i’m not always perfectly up-to-date, but im not planning on abandoning this project any time soon :D

the butcher army sucks so much that they started w two people on their hitlist left alive. now it's three. the hitlist didn't change. they just failed so badly that one of them got revived.

[trialbyflame]

OKAY OKAY OKAY so near the beginning, Bad and Puffy(?) surrounded the Egg in obsidian to stop it's powers. It was then shown "eating" the obsidian and transforming it into crying obsidian before completely eating it away (? or it was mined away). Does this mean that it not only eats away and absorbs the color red but also the properties of some blocks? If so, with the amount of TNT, could the Egg now have the ability to explode?

[timedeo-moved-deactivated202105]

i don’t feel any sympathy for most of the outrage i see regarding ccs anymore because it always turns out yall went out of your way to dig this shit up. you got yourself into this

[timedeo-moved-deactivated202105]

i don’t really give a damn about some reddit account a minecraft youtuber had in 2017, or what stupid fucking tweets someone posted in 2015, or some guy saying the r slur a fucking decade ago. 

this isn’t genuine concern for minorities, it’s digging up shit you can weaponize in stan wars.

stop it. it is fucking creepy as hell, and you literally do not know these people. you don’t know their personal beliefs. stop acting like you do.

and stop weaponizing bigotry to win internet fights.

[everayy]

thought i should add this

@ haligsalt on twitter

“Gentle reminder that growing up with ‘the right opinions’ is a privilege that not everyone has. I was lucky enough to grow up in a super progressive, open minded family, area and community, and I was taught tolerance and kindness before I could even think for myself.

Not everyone gets that privilege.

No one is born with opinions, and your ideals will most likely be dictated by what your parents and the people around you think, at least until you’re old enough to make up your own mind. When that happens, you might get lucky and find that you agree with everything you’ve been taught, or you might have to reject it. The latter is a process that should never be taken for granted. It is hard and it involves questioning your entire worldview.

I’ve been active in political circles for years, and so many of our members come from conservative upbringings. I respect each and every one of them, and the views they used to hold only make them more valuable allies, because I know they have had to work to change as people.

If we started to reject people — especially young people — based on their past beliefs, we would barely get to keep any members at all. People are allowed to grow and change.”

Public DSMP Fandom Heads-Up: "Everywhere At The End Of Time"

I've heard Ranboo is going to be using music from "Everywhere At The End Of Time" by The Caretaker for his upcoming lore. So, I'd just like to give everyone a forewarning before we get there:

Do not talk about Ranboo or the Dream SMP in the comment sections of the videos of the album on Youtube. Do not do it.

Not only is this extremely annoying to those people outside the fandom who just wish to listen to and talk about the project itself (and given how big the dsmp fandom is, you will totally flood that comment section and make outsiders rightfully hate us), but you also need to be aware that doing so would be EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL considering the context of why this music was created.

"Everywhere At The End Of Time" is a project created by an artist over many years of painstaking research and work in order to attempt to describe the experience of losing your mind to dementia, and to raise awareness for diseases like alzheimer's that cause it. It's a very solemn, serious thing, and it needs to be treated as such. It's not something that should be taken and turned into a fandom thing.

Lots of people have lost loved ones to dementia, and some of them go to this video project to watch it, understand it better, and discuss their feelings and their grief with others in the comment section. How much would it suck, do you imagine, for them to go and find tons of kids rambling about their favorite twitch streamer?

I like Ranboo, he's super cool and so is his storytelling! I don't think there's anything wrong with him using the music in his streams (so long as he doesn't associate it with something evil). However, there will be something very wrong if the fans can't respect the project. If you want to comment on the videos, don't say anything about the Ranboo or the dream SMP, only talk about the project and the music itself.

I never ask this, but this is an important issue, so: Please share this message to the rest of the fandom. I don't care what methods you use, go ahead and repost this to other sites, with or without credit. I just want people to read this.

Twitter Birds

What if when Jack referred to Twitter for Tommy's death, he meant little robotic birds that he places in trees to record the goings on of the server? So when anyone checks Twitter for information, they're just picking up these poorly concealed robotic birds and replaying the recordings on them.

Jack may not be a tech wiz but he has his way with redstone sometimes. He created these little bird-like robots during the L’Manburg War. Jack called them his ‘little Twittering Birds’ which eventually evolved into just ‘Twitter’. While he was not a formal part of the server at that time, it was quite easy for Tubbo to smuggle the small devices in from the Hub. The birds were unassuming enough. They were painted pieces of metal. Although well painted if you looked, you could find them easily enough. They were incredibly useful to find out information during wartime, and only were found by the DreamTeam after the forest was burned by Sapnap. The little bits of metal were the only things left in some of the trees. After this, Dream destroyed most of the original birds. He did leave a few in more obvious spots as a way to feed L’Manburg false information. 

Tommy knew these birds were Jack’s and that Jack was watching the videos, even off the server. So he would talk to them when Tubbo was busy farming or he just needed to vent about something that made him mad, knowing that his friend would call him back later to complain or gossip. 

Jack, without a home, was invited to the server shortly after the war due to his aid in the L’Manburg war for Independence. He then added bunches of the birds all around the server. 

The birds have no use now really. Where once they were used to spy and scheme, they now sit unused in the trees. At least, this is what the server proper believes. But, every once and a while, Jack will check the recordings and find Tommy ranting to them or Niki telling them her day. During Manburg, Jack would religiously delete the recordings of Tubbo breaking down. Of Fundy, writing his spy book in front of them. He may have moved on to Manifold Land, but the remaining L’Manburgians had to stick together. 

People like Puffy knew differently, and utilized the recordings to keep up with the goings on of the server. Her nose-y-ness led her to finding out about Tommy’s death before Sam could tell her. 

Occasionally, Jack will listen to the old tapes he has on file and get rid of the dead space and uninteresting days. He’ll pick up the tape that he promised himself that he wouldn't listen to this time, but like every time before, he crumbles. God Wilbur sounded so young then. His Wilbur sounded so good to hear, he had almost forgotten what he had sounded like. 

Two of the original birds from L’Manburg are still around. The first was one that Eret had salvaged to put in the museum. It sits on the side of the recreation of the walls. The second resided in L’Mantree. When Niki burnt it down at Doomsday, she kept it and it now resides in her secret city.

Foolish’s Family: A teen-y tiny drabble/headcanon

Foolish has been a god for a very long time. He knows that he had a family once but the images of their faces have faded with time. He thinks he's found that feeling of family again with Puffy. With her warm hugs. With the late nights and warm milk. She listens and talks and stays up with him while he builds. He would build her something grand but he knows that it'll just get blown up (by someone else or Puffy herself). He knows that he will have to let go one day. That her face will fade with the rest. But he can't think of that now. He has a mansion to build.

[bird-wells214]

a look at tftsmp’s “the pit” as a standalone story and why people are disappointed with the ending, particularly ran’s character and how he affected the audience’s perception of the episode (warning, ridiculously long and i needed to get this out there, i’m a writer and this is driving me insane)

TL;DR: there was a ridiculous amount of emphasis and foreshadowing within ranboo’s character “ran,” so much so that it warped the audience’s perception and expectations of the episode, and it led up to nothing but a comedic bit for an ending rather than paying off ran’s established character and that affected how fans saw the whole episode due the wasted potential of all that build up

“I’m going to resurrect Wilbur.”

———

Is it a bad call to post this now since it won’t get a lot of attention this late at night? Probably. But I have 0 patience, my friends are asleep and I’m desperate for validation.

I wanted to do a stylized atmospheric comic but I couldn’t not do my regular comic style so I did both. It’s not a lot. Just Wilbur getting resurrected. Like pfffff this is the lamest thing but i think it looks kinda cool.

Uh ... enjoy!

Morning reblog gonna give you notes~

[a-selkie-abroad]

sometimes when I’m feeling stressed I just think about the fact Shlatt canonically has horns on his Glatt skin after the community drew him with them so much And how Philza was talking about liking SAD-ist’s animatics where he destroyed  his wings shielding Wilbur so much if he canonically died he would wear curse-of-binding elytra  And how Techno and Philza hear voices which are literally just the stream chats And Ranboo watching the horror-style animatics on him and just VIBING, how he and Eret just yell “IT’S ME!! :DDDD” every time they see themselves in an animatic And how many time a dono on a stream has mentioned a theory about the lore and the streamer has just gone “Oh I love that! That’s canon now chat.” Fanartists and animatic creators and really the fandom as a whole actually contribute to the lore, have an impact on the story, because the creators interact with the community- they react to the animatics, they see the fanart, they read the speculations and theories.

And they get inspired by the community, just how the community gets inspired by them, and it’s a wonderful cycle of creative ideas that never ends and just keeps building on itself to greater and greater heights. And this is why I love the Dream SMP so much, the pure creative energy from not only the creators but the community they have built around them gives me serotonin and a huge motivation to create something myself every time I even think about it. Thank you so much for creating and letting me be a part of this wonderful community.

[wither-rose-circus]

Yknow, bouncing off the idea that Mumza is death herself, imagine her meeting Wilbur

Imagine her greeting him with open arms and saying she’s heard so much about him

Imagine Wilbur, logically knowing that Phil loved him despite his general distance, but finally getting to hear just how much Phil loves and praises him when he’s not around

And also imagine Wilbur being brought back to life and immediately grabbing Phil by the collar shouting “YOUVE FUCKED DEATH???”

[f4c3]

Wait. The Angel of death.... HE'S HER ANGEL THATS ROMANTIC AF

Mod/(NOT)Origins/Powers/Modded/Hybrid/Mutant SMP name poll.

We have to pick a name, guys. We can’t keep shuffling around these million different tags, it’s tedious and it makes works harder to see. How many posts are getting less notes because we’re juggling 12 different tags? We gotta settle on one sold name. (Origins is taken and we don’t want to overrun them.) 

So, I made a poll. It will go until March 11th and then I’ll post results. I’ll post them individually AND reblog this post with them. 

Spread it around! We want as many people to see it as possible. Here is the poll.

[trialbyflame]

I'm just saying but imagine Kristen being imputed into the lore as a goddess to be worshiped that gave Phil his immortality. Imagine Kristen as Life or perhaps Death. It's why she's never there not because she doesnt want to but because she can't. It's why everyone knows of her, why occasionally some people hear her as a disembodied voice. Wilbur was fine with dying because that would mean that he could be with her, and he would be safe there.

[thenerdkingqueen]

just a reminder that ranboo and tubbos marriage was a joke and you should not ship the content creators because both have said that makes them uncomfortable (also they're still underage)
