Its-a-game-i-lost

true friends support your probably-slightly-unhealthy obsession with your favorite fictional character 

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 

apartment. i’m at my apartment

something i haven't seen anyone mention about the Puss in boots: the last wish

there are plenty of stories about someone trying to cheat death, but I don't think I've ever come across a story before where death doesn't play fair either. and the fact that the wolf just casually admitted it? loved it

and the twist is hilarious: you would think that he has some pretty good reason for trying to kill Puss before his time has come, but no. Death just got fed up with watching this dumbass cat waste his lives in incredibly stupid ways, and decided that this arrogant lil bitch needs to get his ass whooped

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

i think tumblr should have a storefront where you can buy and sell hallucinogens

do yall ever just sit back and think about how special the exile arc (from tommy’s pov) was? like it just hit me today, i really don’t think i’ve seen anything quite like it in rp, especially in regards to how tommy incorporated the basic mechanics of minecraft to paint this picture of a kid struggling to survive a traumatic situation.

like, there was an entire hour and a half stream where the goal was to create one ender chest. and that was one of the first streams, when c!tommy was doing relatively well. later on the goals devolved into stuff like.. building a new bridge 10 feet away from the old one to make it slightly easier for people to visit, a flimsy excuse to avoid thinking about the real goal of distracting himself

there was over 15 hours of streams about this. when you think about it, nothing really happened, but at the same time, everything happened. it was a small, focused, heavy character study played out in minecraft which is like… i mean, bold move for the Funnie Haha 16 y/o Minecraft Streamer?? ghHGJK??

i just think it’s a lil mind-blowing how well he conveyed the amount of effort it takes for someone to simply stay alive when they’re put in that kind of abusive situation, how the story was paced out and how the audience was drawn in for the ride. sometimes i find myself double-taking and being like. oh yeah. that was a thing that actually happened. huh

The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
