I've been seeing a lot of knight posts recently. pretty great

Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?

"How do you kill God?"

"You don't! He doesn't exist!" A ghost answers with a smile.

"How do you kill God?"

"With a surprise." A young president answers with a frown.

"How do you kill God?"

"With your words." A vice president answers with clenched fists.

"How do you kill God?"

"With force!" A young hero laughs, tainted with a hint of sadness.

"How do you kill God?"

God himself asks, then answers as he faces a crowd of angry mortals.

"You don't."

Look I can't make edits but the idea won't leave me alone so tumblr or tiktok do something about it

The "Feels like we had matching wounds" audio but before that is Gwen saying "Lets do this one more time" and it cuts between her peter dying and her dad pulling a gun, meanwhile Miles gives Ganke a fistbump and hugs his family

Followed by Miles saying "Lets do this one last time" and the audio repeats, but this time it's all of Miles' drawings and his graffiti wall cut with Gwen bragging about spider society and interacting with hobie and pavitr

Idk if I'm explaining it well visually but god it won't leave me alonee

ok so i just had A Thought.

how would the s1 characters react to their s2 selves?

like, tommy expects to see this warrior, wilbur's right hand man, confident, strong, brave... and instead he finds this broken shell of a boy, talking about how the only person who actually really cares for them is their own worst enemy.

tubbo doesn't really expect much. he never really changed, not as much as his friends. but instead of the usual awkward, friendly boy he expected, he finds a tired president, who misses his best friend, and is covered in burn scars from something awful that he doesn't want to talk about.

wilbur has the highest hopes, curious on how he did, how well he'd run the country. he wants to ask questions, ask how his family is. instead, he meets his ghost. a spirit who refuses to admit he's done wrong. wilbur seeks out future tommy for answers, only to get screamed at to get out.

fundy wasn't sure what he'd expected. he was worried he'd have faded into nothingness with his father's constant babying, and getting brushed to the side but... he seemed more vibrant than ever. angrier, sure, but also more confident, smiling at his younger self with so much genuine happiness that he felt his eyes water.

eret assumed they'd be more regal than this. they'd have a crown, and a gown, and a throne. instead, they wore stained jeans and a sweatshirt. "did we lose. were we caught?" "no. we just decided some things are worth more than a crown."

hey, read this and fucking reblog it.

usually i try to be kind or at least neutral on some things, but today's not the day for that. fuck anyone on the planet who has decided that it is okay to ship minors.

i bring this up now because i'm seeing a surge of people shipping minors in the dream smp/mcyt community - most commonly between tubbo and tommyinnit, or tubbo and ranboo. if you do this, choke and die slowly.

it is not your job to speculate on the sexualities or the relationships of sixteen/seventeen y/o's, especially when they've gone out of their way to say that they don't want to be shipped, sexualised or anything of the sort. it is encroaching on the boundaries of real people, real friendships, and i'd like to remind you that it's fucking illegal.

i have seen post after post speculating that tubbo is lgbt and it has to stop. whether or not he is or he isn't is completely irrelevant - the point is that speculating about it is intrusive, it's harmful to a minor, and if he is lgbt, it's going to confuse the fuck out of him and make it harder to come out if he is lgbt. truthing needs to stop.

i am not going to sit around and try and be courteous to people like that.

i want to mention, however, that i myself have made jokes about them 'flirting', specifically ranboo and tubbo, but i mainly did it in the context of knowing that it was all in good fun and not serious on the valentines day streams where they were joking about being valentines. if it at all appeared that i was trying to ship them, or if i endorsed that kind of behaviour, i apologise.

what i will not apologise for, however, is being a cunt to people who overstep boundaries.

i've reblogged a post before containing a blocklist of people who engage with this kind of behaviour, but in general tags that should be blocked or avoided include:

enderbee, enderbees, ranbee, boobee (this one makes me want to dash my skull into a wall), tubbo truthing, ranboo truthing and any variants of a person x person tag or other related shipping tags that i have missed.

i know at times it might not be beneficial to talk on things but it is my personal belief that some issues do need to be talked about, brought to light - information that this is happening should be known and something should be done to combat it. i haven't been on tumblr for long, but as soon as i see a post shipping minors, i immediately block and report (in fact i pretty much block shippers on my feed anyway) and i would reccommend doing something similar. there should be an effort to discourage this sort of behaviour.

dream saying that he doesn't really care if people ship him with someone like george isn't an umbrella statement, in fact dream has gone on record stating the opposite - his words, just because he's extremely popular, doesn't encompass the feelings of individuals. all three, tommy, tubbo and ranboo have gone on record and stated that they do not wish to be shipped or sexualised, especially since it is illegal because of their age. i'm not placing the blame on dream here, however, i'm placing the blame on dickheads who decide that because dream said something, it must apply to everyone else.

tldr: if you ship minors, you aren't welcome here.

tw// suicide

(want to note that this is about the CHARACTERS on dream smp, not any of the actual creators. the fact that anyone feels strongly about this proves that these people are telling a good story. I am also not genuinely angry/upset at any fan, even though this rant may seem like I am. I promise it's all good; this is just silly little minecraft roleplay and not something to be genuinely upset over).

i think the fact that people feel sympathy for c!dream is very interesting, especially considering the fact that many people seemed to feel absolutely no sympathy for c!tommy.

dream is a manipulative motherfucker on purpose. that's his job as a complex villain, and he's doing it very well. he's acting all sad and dejected over losing his friends and items (even though he previously stated that he never cared about any of those things) to make tommy feel bad for him. he's doing it to pull at tommy's heartstrings, but not just tommy's. dream is also trying to guilt trip chat. to make the viewers feel bad for him. to sympathize with him, even though he's in no way deserving of that sympathy. there are pleanty of things I can list that dream has done wrong, but one, I believe, is most important: dream abused tommy so badly that he considered suicide.

how could one possibly feel even an ounce of sympathy for someone who drove another person, a CHILD, to off themselves? dream hurt tommy so badly that being dead seemed like a better option. a way out. how fucking sickening is that?

tommy has fucked up on many occasions, no doubt about that. but to say that the punishments he's received fit the crimes he's commited is completely untrue. no matter what you've done, you don't deserve death, and you CERTAINLY do not deserve to be beaten down to the point where death seems like a better alternative to being alive.

unlike tommy, dream is an unfeeling character. he cares about nothing other than himself. he had pleanty of opportunities to be a better person. he could've learned from his experiences and grown from them. but he didn't. he never did, because he doesn't care. tommy, especially as of late, knows that he's messed up, and is learning from that. he's apologizing, acknowledging his mistakes, and making an effort to be a better person.

unlike tommy, dreams crimes do fit this punishment. he deserves to be in that prison, and he deserves to feel bad, if he truly does. he should. that's the point.

this kind of sympathy that I've been seeing float around in tommy's chat today and generally online baffles me. where was this sympathy when tommy was exiled? when he described how poorly he was doing? when he physically looked worse? when he was having visions of tubbo? when he was so irrational that he rejected help from ranboo, the only person who visited him? when he almost killed himself on multiple occasions?

was it "too hard" to sympathize with tommy because of his brash nature, which is normal for a kid his age?

or was tommy "too hard" to sympathize with because he displayed, and continues to display the "ugly" symptoms of mental illness and abuse?

dreams tone and word choices are deliberate. don't let this facade blind you from the character dream really is.

all I want is to have a room that looks like I'm old biology professor whose been away from human civilization for half a century in the forest who spends my evenings reading old books researching about cryptids with my cat surrounded by my many treasures and trinkets I've collected over the years and my many, many growing plants that nearly take over all of my house.

calm down edgelords, the whole point of society is that it’s not survival of the fittest. literally the point is that we’re leveraging our collective strengths to lead to better outcomes for everyone. we’ve been doing it for a couple thousand years now
