How To Write Dialogue For (most) Dream SMP Characters

a comic about meeting your younger self :)

Thank you for reading :)

Omg that last ask was awful. I’m sorry people are being like that with you. But can I ask why I know about Russia invading Ukraine, it is definitely something I’m against but why are you getting so much hate 😟

It's okay, it doesn't bother me, thank you for your support!

Here's as far as I understand why people either: support Russia, or, ignore Ukraine;

A lot of modern online 'leftists' believe that in ANY situation, America/The West is ALWAYS the bad guy. Some of them don't even believe that countries OTHER than the West, can do imperialism, colonialism and invasion. This is idiotic.

continued for a long bit under cut

As a symptom of this, all of these 'leftists' really fucking hate NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation), and think it's some violent tool of oppression and colonialism. I am aware that NATO is a tool of very complicated geopolitical motives, but as far I'm concerned, countries have to ASK to be in it, and it's just a defensive measure for smaller countries in Europe. Ukraine, for a long time, has been trying to get NATO membership, because for so many years now Russia has been fucking with its borders, and as time progressed, more and more Ukrainians have been voting in favour of NATO.

But because these people know nothing about foreign policy, they immediately think "oh because Russia ISN'T the West, then it's okay" and they follow aaalll the russian disinformation and propaganda (of which there is a LOT) and just,, completely ignore Ukraine.

A lot of leftists also are just.. really obsessed with Russia?? And the USSR?? They genuinely think that Russia has ANY right to tell its neighbouring countries what to do. A lot of leftists argue that Russia is doing this shit because it doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO. So???? This is not an excuse?? Ukraine is a sovereign nation, it has every right to join NATO. Russia needs to mind its own fucking business and stop meddling and bullying its neighbours, maybe THEN NATO won't really be needed. This is EXACTLY why Ukraine wants to join NATO! Because Russia is fucking with its borders!!

They think NATO is the aggressor. No. Ukraine has been ACTIVELY trying to join NATO, I think it even got declined BY NATO itself at one point!!

Also, a lot of people are just not aware of what is happening in Ukraine. Like the details of Russia directly funding the terrorist groups in Donbas. They don't know about Viktor Yanukovych, who was an elective for Ukrainian presidency, but was actively Pro-Russian and had connections to the Russian government, who tried to appease Russia, and when the people disagreed with him, he tried to quickly pass laws that would make it ILLEGAL TO PROTEST THE GOVERNMENT. He was later kicked out, and then fled to Russia, of course. They don't know the Russian Government's history of just lying, making baseless accusations, of silencing any voice against them, the corruption, propaganda, some of them don't even think the USSR did anything bad! Because in their head, if its not the West, then it must be okay!

And it sucks! Because now Ukrainian people are gonna suffer for it!

What the FUCK is IRIS?

Apparently that. “Inspiring Research of Impossible Sciences”

Supposedly the organization has been around for almost a century, leaving a bunch of us to assume this means IRIS was founded by Jameson, due to his time travel powers we’re all pretty sure he has.

Or I’ve just now thought that MAYBE Marvin is also an ageless or eternally youthful magical being like a sorcerer so perhaps HE’S over a century old and founded it. Who knows.

This theory is mainly operating off the idea Jameson is the founder, which spices things up plot-wise a hell of a lot.

One of the biggest questions we have right now is exactly what this theory is asking: What IS IRIS? And there are a handful of things we’ve gotten within the last 24 hours AND from Argentum Inanis that may give us what we need to figure it out. These include:

IRIS = Antimatter

Who they’re following on Twitter

The Watcher Poster

Their icon

Their icon is a third eye, which we’ve linked to Marvin’s crystal ball and his book.

Leading me to think that if he isn’t the founder, he is without a doubt a member. Which being as Soph is helping Sean out with planning, certainly makes the art she’s created surrounding Marvin and a magic circle group quite interesting now, don’t you think? Are these characters depicted with Marvin the “AIMCs” we should be informing?

The post the above screenshot is from.

From the page talking about using “Argentum Inanis” aka the “Silver Void”

Our theory that Marvin is responsible for Chase’s teleportation to the parking garage roof is getting more and more realistic with each hint we get.

I think we could make a case for THIS being the Silver Void, don’t you think?

That aside and sticking the the Chase train of thought, look at what IRIS follows on Twitter:

The Magic Circle UK, research surrounding science and space. And… Chase Bank?

IRIS is watching Chase. Marvin is a member of IRIS. We’re convinced he teleported Chase to that parking garage. MARVIN is watching Chase. Or should I say…

Scrying.

And maybe Marvin isn’t the only one. Previously we thought that Henrik, his last appearance containing the same sound as what we hear in Chase, was also getting teleported somewhere, “assembled like the Avengers” by Marvin. But we don’t see Henrik get teleported, do we?

I think Henrik is ALSO watching Chase. He’s part of IRIS. He’s studying time travel and such. Something IRIS is following on Twitter. And it’d make sense he’s watching Chase, given that he CONFIRMS in KJSE that he saved Chase’s life. Perhaps he was even the one that TOLD Marvin they need to keep an eye on him.

And in my opinion, the thing on his screen looks like an eye. Which we DID point out when this video first got uploaded.

Henrik was watching Chase get teleported, maybe even making sure it all goes right.

No matter what the actual answer is, I am CONVINCED that Marvin, Henrik, and Chase are connected in some way. Especially given observations like this.

Besides, “watching” is what IRIS is apparently also about, given this poster.

“Night Watcher” like “Overnight Watch.” “It could be you,” like it was on December 15th, 2017. Are WE part of IRIS too? After all, if IRIS is a magic organization… We make the “magic” of ego content and stories happen. We effect canon, we make the theories, the headcanons, the fanfics, the content.

And we fuel Anti with attention. We “watch” as it all happens.

That “A” in Watcher is glitchy. A for Anti. There’s another A and an E missing as well. For what? I’m not entirely sure yet.

But some of us have suggested corruption from the inside.

Assuming Jameson founded IRIS…

That could be completely correct.

And now Marvin is in charge of IRIS in Jameson’s place while he’s trapped as Anti’s puppet. A parallel with Chase, who’s in charge of the channel in Jack’s place while he’s in a coma.

And this doesn’t quite fit coherently into this theory, but Jackie may ALSO be associated with IRIS too. Which would tie all 6 egos together in the story. Jameson the founder, Marvin and Henrik members, Jackie a member (or experiment subject?) too, Chase being watched (possibly protected?) by them, and Anti; aware of their existence, hijacking their organization through their founder, maybe even created or released by Marvin them?
