can i just say that dream did amazing with the script and just general acting for the finale.

punz confirmed that dream wrote almost the whole finale script by himself and the way that he kept the plot going for an hour straight was incredible. he told a story, and the finale storyline alone was so good, that i believe that even a new viewer would be hooked from this one “episode” personally, i feel that this might be my favorite episode of all time just due to the fact that it was so nicely paced and he obviously put a lot of thought into the time frame for stuff. 

something i actually prefer about dream’s writing is that he tends to try and include every single person on the smp who wants in on the script. i think in this episode especially, incorporating items from many members on the smp gives them all a chance to be in the lore if they want to take it. with the entrance of everyone after punz, i feel that it was more tasteful (?) than large group events have been in the past because it didn’t feel like they were just kinda there, but that they were all their for a purpose. 

and his acting. jesus christ he’s a good villain and his voice acting has gotten so much better. we’re used to him being a sort of emotionless, egotistical character, so to have his character either fake nerves and worry, was super cool to see. he does a really good job conveying his character through other people, and he does it all with only his voice. 

yes, this is just me ranting about how cool i think dream is idk 

the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,

On par with apocalypse, I believe

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

I said it in a reblog of another post and I'll say it here now, "you're too fun" is the slimiest most skin crawling sentence ever uttered on this godforsaken smp. Because it not only implies that not only was all of the betrayal, violence, and mistrust all a fun little game for dream, but also puts his treatment of tommy in Logstedshire in an entirely different light. Abuse is awful no matter what reason, and what dream did was inexcusable, but it was almost easier to analyze and break down, because, in the end, it was supposed to teach tommy a lesson about questioning his authority. You gotta crack a few defiant eggs to make an obedient and traumatized little omelette, right? "You're too fun" throws that all out the fucking window. Because now, instead of tommy's abuse being dream thinking of it as a "necessary evil" in order to keep the smp under his control, it's literally just dream dumping the carton of eggs on the ground and mashing the ruined yolks with his heel. He blew up tommy's items for fun. He broke tommy's spirit for fun. He drove him to the end of every ledge imaginable and still didn't let him jump, for fun. Tommy's mind twisting it so that dream was his friend was probably just an extra, fun little game mechanic that he could mess with. Tommy's suffering was worth absolutely nothing, in the end, because it never meant anything to dream beyond playing a game. Tommy's triumphant speech about dream being scared of him feels less like a realization of his power now and more like a desperate attempt to make their game mean something, anything, to dream. Now, it's clear that manipulating tubbo into exiling tommy was only an excuse to make his game more interestjng. If there was ever any doubts about dream being the most evil person on the server, "you're too fun" squashes them. Because what's more villainous than making people suffer, and then telling them on no uncertain terms that their suffering was for nothing?

A little background as to why the Markiplier fandom is panicking about The Edge of Sleep.

So YEARS ago. Mark was in a podcast called The Edge of Sleep, which was adapted into a TV series... Which was never released

Until

Mark made a movie adaptation of a video game, Iron Lung. He's put all his energy into this film, directing, producing, editing, even starring in it. the movie is done, and he's working to get it released in theaters.

We, the public don't know why, but we know that some doors have been locked on the release of Iron Lung, however some big wigs somewhere have promised that if his popularity alone can put Edge of Sleep in the TOP TEN a lot of doors will open for Iron Lung. He wasn't allowed to even say where it would premiere, nor was it advertised AT ALL

So now, Edge of Sleep has shadow dropped on Amazon Prime in the US. Three days BEFORE they even told Mark it would air. In order to get this man's work out in theaters this thing has to get to the top ten by word of mouth alone.

So. Watch Edge of Sleep! It's an apocalyptic horror. There are some mild gore warnings (blood, knife mutilation, brain dissection, self harm). Even if you can play it in the background and let it run just so it gets views thatd be helpful.

Stick it to the Hollywood Bigwigs! Show them YouTubers can have an audience! Open some doors for creative people trying to show their work to a bigger audience!

can we take a second to appreciate just how the dream smp members’ acting keep on getting better and better?

when the first sad-ist animatic dropped, a lot of people were impressed at dream’s “white flags” speech and eret’s “it was never meant to be line”.

then the election happened, and we were all blown away by just how powerful schlatt’s presidential speech was.

then wilbur’s corruption arc started, and the fandom went insane over just how stunning wilbur’s villainous breakdown was.

then there was the finale, which was fully packed with memorable scenes accompanied with incredible acting - we all exploded from the sheer amazingness of techno’s theseus speech and wilbur’s button room scene.

then the exile arc began, and we were startled by how much both dream and tubbo’s acting have improved; both of them suddenly putting a lot more effort and emotion into their scenes, resulting in some very iconic yet emotionally hurtful moments.

midway into the exile arc, and tommy received a lot of praise for his brilliantly accurate portrayal of mental illness, to the point where a lot of people were genuinely worried about him, even though he has stated that it was all just roleplaying and he was actually feeling great.

then ranboo took us by surprise by roleplaying more on his streams, and suddenly everyone was buzzing at just how good he was at portraying anxiety attacks and fascinating his audience with a premise as simple as losing a book solely because of his great acting.

and last but not least (for now), just when we thought wilbur couldn’t get any better, he topped his best performance yet again with ghostbur’s breakdown when he found out that friend died, as he cried and lashed out at philza, putting himself once again on the number one spot of best actor on the dream smp.

and this haven’t even mentioned all the amazing moments by fundy, quackity, and niki (who are also amazing actors who play their roles really well), and some other moments by other characters as well.

if there’s one thing that will definitely only improve overtime in the dream smp, it’s the incredible acting that makes you forget sometimes that this is all just a minecraft roleplay server.
