#But‚ eh.

[maelstrom-of-emotions]

(Wanted to keep this in the tags but it got too long.)

I don’t really go here, so this might not be my place to say. I wasn’t part of the time. Wasn’t there when it all happened and the last thing I want to do is come off as someone who can’t read the room of “you had to be there” and come off incredibly stupid. I only just fell into this rabbit hole, after all.

Which, mind you, I only stumbled upon the DSMP in fucking 2024 because I broke my own rule and ended up reading a Minecraft fanfic and then another one and another one and then promptly went off the deep end. And then hyperfixation hit, and now there’s no way out.

Sorry, I’m rambling. But, uh, what I’ve noticed is that the DSMP, like so much media before it and so much more to come after it, was built on friends messing around, having fun, and turning random bullshit into something big/pos. And yeah, I know the nostalgia has been tainted and tangled with everything that has come out since, and I don’t blame anyone for feeling a bit sick about it. But it was a moment. A fleeting, chaotic, messy piece of time that mattered.

Tommy did a video on it called, “Was the Dream SMP actually bad?” And while it was fun and very endearing to see his take on it, seeing all the love people poured into this fandom – it hit me. The reason wasn’t deep or shallow. The DSMP wasn’t perfect, yeah, but it wasn’t some grand evil or shallow piece of mediocrity, either. It was just people goofing off and letting us lot join in on the ride.

OP said nostalgia isn’t a crime, and damn, if that isn’t one of the realest things I’ve ever heard and it’s something I think more people should talk about. Sure, nostalgia shouldn’t be the only thing keeping you going – it can’t be the respirator keeping you alive. But it isn’t some sin. You don’t need to punish yourself for holding onto the good parts. You don’t need to be the condemned and play judge, jury and executioner.

I came to this fandom half a decade after it’s creation, but it still feels as brilliant as the bards that sung of it in the early eras. Yeah, some of the things that we thought were diamonds turned out to be burnt plastic. That doesn’t mean the rest don’t shine. That doesn’t mean we can’t still find joy in it.

Guilty pleasures are a thing, yes. But I think the majority of it is off. You don’t need to feel guilty for loving something that lit up your life, that made the dopamine rush in, that gave you happiness when you needed it most.

Let yourself love what saved you, even if it wasn’t perfect.

Yknow what I'm actually tired of so many people getting mad when Tommy and other dsmp members bring up the server because "it's been 4 years get over it" when it's like.... I still think about my middle/high school minecraft servers with friends all the time and we make the same dumb inside jokes from it over a decade later, and that's WITHOUT having a massive fandom obsessed with our server and friendships and constantly being reminded of it by strangers. And that's such a normal thing to be nostalgic of fond memories with friends. And yeah absolutely some fans take it too far bringing it up too often BUT also we were all locked up during covid's peak and it was literally impossible for some people not to get parasocially attached when we spent more time watching these streamers than with our own friends/families in many cases. And I don't *want* to think about that server so much even to this day years later. I didn't want to waste literally hundreds of hours (thank twitch recaps) watching everyone's pov of block game even back then. but mental illness is a bitch, hyperfixation is a hard thing to fight, and I'm not blaming myself for being reminded of it when it was one of if not the worst period of time for our generation and the only escape we had was a dumb minecraft server we weren't actually on (though I argue the fans were absolutely "a part of" the server in a sense as a hefty chunk of the lore came from fans). And that said I know when to sit on those thoughts without saying anything in streamers chats, and I know not everyone knows how/when to do so

Idk man just let people be is the main thing i'm trying to say nostalgia is not a crime

Shoutout to the guy with the white cane at the emergency access door who heard me say "hello sir" and just dropped his head, sighed, and went "this isn't the entrance, is it." Either you're going thru some shit or you're a very funny criminal doing his best and I appreciate that

[fraternum-momentum]

give me your complete and unwavering devotion.

sometimes work was too much for nanami; he got a pick-me-up before turning in with you, and that would get him worked up. to the point that once he was inside of you, there was no stopping him.

nanami could handle his liquor, but it was the brown liquor he couldn't handle, and that's the one that took the edge off the most.

having him want to tear off his clothes the moment he got it in his system, eyes hazy and dick hard, with nothing but you on his mind and how fast he could get to you.

it wasn't until you started drinking with him that you noticed that certain drinks didn't have the same effect on him; if he had a little bit of wine or vodka, he was fine; it wasn't until he had a drop of rum or whiskey that he started looking at you funny.

"come sit in my lap… dont be that way; im not gonna hurt ya." talking like… that, it was funny until it wasn't. his hands rubbing all over your body, his lips kissing your neck, and his dick pressing up against your ass, his clinginess was cute until he had you looking at yourself in the big mirror in your room for his amusement.

"look at yourself; you usually don't look this slutty while getting fucked." frowning as you choked on his fingers, trying to talk, but his fingers were pushed to the back of your throat, his other hand firm on your hip as he thrust into you for the millionth time.

your head turning away and his hand coming up with a firm grip, making sure you were still looking at yourself in the mirror, his pace quickening.

"aht aht, you're going to keep looking at yourself." his voice deep and the pleasure rising inside of you.

nanami was usually a passionate lover, telling you how good you looked and how much he loved you, but it was when he was a little drunk that he was more assertive, telling you how nasty you were for him.

"you only get nasty for me, right? mm fuck, tell me." talking you through your orgasm or just saying nasty shit that kept you on your toes, you didn't hate it; you actually loved it.

his deep voice trailing off, telling you how he couldn't get enough of you and wanted to fuck you every chance he got.

once he was drunk, he wasn't thinking about anyone or anything but you; you were the main focus, the main entertainment, and he made it very known.

"stop holding in your moans; let me hear them." sliding out of you just to push deeper inside of you, the moans you were once holding in now coming out.

he wasn't conscious or thinking about every little thing; he let his body take control in how good it felt with you on it.

"tell me how you want me to fuck you, baby; talk to me." sweat dripping down his forehead and a flushed face, all you could do was laugh; he was drunk, but he still wanted you to feel good, taking care of your every need.

what a man.

You gotta hand it to Fig. All of the Bad Kids were given foils this season and they got to decide how much they wanted to engage with that part of the plot. Gorgug only interacted with Mary Ann in passing despite them both being on the Owlbears. Fabian noped out of chatting up Ivy once she crossed a line with Mazey. Riz was so busy that he truly had no time to engage with Kipperlilly even though she's obsessed with him. Kristen interacted a bit with Buddy but spent way more time verbally sparring with Kipperlilly. And Adaine was somewhat interested in Oisin but never overtly acted on it.

But Fig?

She's in Ruben's WALLS. She's in his DREAMS. She's faking her alter emo's death. She's got the Fantasy FBI after her. She's SO SO tiny. No one is doing it like Fig's doing it.

Help me prove my family wrong!

I don't know if this post will break containment, but will you like/reblog if you are or know a man who is asexual? All of the people in my life seem convinced that being Ace is a 'girl thing' and that Ace men don't exist!
