very few things in the dsmp go as hard as c!niki having dedicated herself to and fighting for l'manberg and then seeing all the pain caused and going 'i loved you, i loved the idea of you and you were a true home but this can't be fixed and so i'm burning it down'.
"Kill them with kindness" CORRECT!!!
At its heart, the overarching narrative theme of the Dream SMP is not about "Good vs Evil", and to try to analyse its story in that framework is to completely misunderstand and misrepresent what it's trying to say.
Yes, there are characters who do good things, and yes there are characters who do evil things. These are often the same characters. And that's just the actions themselves, taking out of the equation the intentions and context, which does affect the answer to the questions of "was this action good or bad? was it understandable? was it justified?". It's the difference between saying "Character A killed Character B" and "Character A killed Character B in self-defence" - the context matters.
It's not as simple as "well, these characters are opposing this other character who's doing bad things so therefore they must be our Good Characters", and to pretend it is, and that this gives them moral authority forever, is laughable. The story being told is not a story of Good vs Evil - that doesn't mean that those types of stories don't exist, or that they lack value, but only that the Dream SMP is not one of them.
To wash a whole set of characters with the Good brush and another set with the Evil brush is an approach so lacking of nuance and utterly simplistic that to use it in serious analysis would be to so badly misunderstand the themes of the Dream SMP that you're basically making up your own version of canon and trying to pass it off as the true story.
Whoever needs to hear this. Please know.
"Closed at 6pm" does not mean "The entry door locks up at 6, but if you're already inside you can keep on shopping."
It means, "you should be finished and out of the store at 6pm."
This is not up for debate
This is just how things work
DREBLR REJOICE! WE HAVE BROUGHT HOME HOPE THE CAT
She is our new little rescue kitty, sweet and a little bit scared of everyone but she is BRAVE and she is SMART and she took a nap leaning on me today and i will protect her with my life <333 :(
I just love how in the dsmp You can have characthers dessing up in like militar clothing like in the l'manberg outfits, ctechno that's like a pig with a royal style, people dessing up like in the red banquet. And then You like csapnap and cpunz that dress like they're gamer boys that haven't changed in a week, You have cphil that's just a anime characther, cdream that's a weird green looking thing, cpuffy that's a pirate, and skeppy it's just skeppy

I wonder if Dream ever felt guilty about Techno ending up in prison with him—not because he wrote the note, but because being locked up at all was his plan. He intended to be here. And didn't that make everything that happened afterwards his fault?
hope the cat it's so cute!! How's she?
She is doing good! So far she has warmed up to me surprisingly quickly, no longer hiding when i come into my room or shuffle around and even letting me pet her :D
i actually do think individual human lives are unfathomably valuable
green eyes [½]
here to be a creature mostly, might indulge in putting my faves in a box to psychoanalyze them from time to to time
