Did you know that in the US it is both legal AND common medical practice to perform forced sex reassignment on newborn babies???

Okay - Conservatives, now that I have your attention

The babies are Intersex and their parents are sometimes told it’s a medical necessity (its not) or straight up lied to about what surgery their child is receiving.

So maybe be mad about that instead??

NGL I love it when the hermits tell us about their own roles in the server infrastructure. Like you've got X in charge of managing the server hardware, Doc on lag busting, Hypno is in charge of the website, Keralis is hardware sugar daddy, Impulse stepped up to coordinate group recordings, Joe causes problems by accident, people pitch storylines and run events and the server runs and runs, season after season

sorry just tearing up over the idea of multiple people using the pain-sharing spell. “with this spell declared, let the pain be shared,” except it’s said three, four, five times, the pain passed along and lessened each time. if we all hurt a little then no one of us has to hurt a lot.

I tried!!!! Inspired by absolutely stunning dance scene from this animatic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgPYshUbk9g

we did it tumblr

Painful as it was in the beginning, it only feels glorious now

I just wanted a gifset of all three… (x,x,x)

one of the things i love the most about dsmp is the fact that no one has the same version of it. the most obvious example is which streamer's POV you watched, but it goes way beyond that because mcrp requires a level of suspension of disbelief and also of filling in the gaps, fleshening things out, in order to make it usable for fancontent.

for example, the fact that apart from the minecraft skin there is no actual guideline for how to see the characters, hence the dsmp creaturification of fan designs we've been over a million times. but it's not just that!!

the fandom also has so many different relations to time in the dsmp. some take the canon timeline but then you run into problems like c!fundy's age — so then either he's actually a 20 year old that c!wilbur adopted and treats like a baby, or perhaps fox hybrids have a very abrupt exponential growth spurt, or perhaps l'manberg wasn't a few months but a few years!

and then this brings into question the matter of scale — how populated is the server? is it truly only the actual streamers/characters, and so when we talk about a "war" do we really just mean like 10 people fighting each other with swords? or perhaps there's a couple dozen, unnamed, background characters? and i've seen people increase the scale even more! make l'manberg a real, albeit obviously small and budding, country-city of a few hundred inhabitants, that perhaps grows into a lifesize scale fortified city during new l'manberg.

and then everything takes on such a different tone. if theres 30 people on the server, the final control room was a betrayal and destruction of friendships, november 16th was the grief and anger for a friend and the symbolic destruction of the country, and doomsday was another symbolic show of whose alliances everyone values, and the weariness of having to rebuild it. if there's a few thousand people? all of those were massacres.

how can we even be talking about the same characters when for some of us the worst they've done is blow up some houses with no cost of lives, and for others they have razed to the ground actual nations? depending on how you read it and how much you flesh it out, dsmp is either mainly about symbols and interpersonal relationships, or it can be some game of thrones shit. it's completely fucking mental. i'm so in love with it

I will talk about The Sheridan Tapes all day if you let me
