Foolish and Cellbit lore makes me crazy because their characters are very much influenced by the entities they each have chosen, and it comes in to play in key moments. It influences their desires and their actions significantly.

Foolish, who makes sacrifices to the Chaos entity constantly. Who is his usual silly, impulsive self, and then takes it a step further, thinking ‘what would Chaos enjoy?’ Not looking twice before jumping, living and thriving in chaos and unpredictability, even if it is at the cost of his health and well-being. Especially if it’s at the cost of others. He tries to play each side of the conflict, sometimes for whatever will benefit him directly, the rest of the time just by seemingly flipping a coin and going one way or the other for shits and giggles. He starts conflicts and he fans the flames because he wants to see the fallout. He leans into the chaos without a second thought.

Cellbit, who’s a little more subtle, but the effects are still there. He cannot find a single thread on the island without having to find the other end. He takes on the problems and mysteries of everyone else on top of his own. He keeps back to eavesdrop at any opportunity when he says he’s leaving a conversation. He digs his grave as a double agent in the federation, not only to sabotage, but because he cannot stand the idea of a mystery being out there that he can’t figure out. It costs his sanity, it costs his time, it gives him gray hair and puts him in constant danger, it piles on so much work and responsibility on him, it’s a large part of why he feels so alone on the island - and yet he wouldn’t have it any other way. Because who else would know what to do in the face of such puzzles?

The knowledge entity pushes Cellbit to seek that knowledge, damn the cost. His biggest weakness is that he cannot let anything lie - he has to solve whatever is put in front of him, because he has to know, it doesn’t matter what or why in some cases. Just as Foolish is always pushed to leave things to chance, because the unpredictability is exciting, enticing - even when the answer to a problem is obvious and he could easily take action to get the best known outcome.

I was just talking about this with some fandom friends!! (Long post ahead)

- Creation and Tubbo lore was robbed from me. I want to know Tubbo’s past with the Federation so bad dude.

- Demon lore! I needed Tina and Bad to keep up the late night streams like I need fucking oxygen. Their back and forth regarding demons and hell was beyond interesting. World building my beloved!!!

Expanding on the last thing, Tina clearly had something cooking in her last Demon lore stream with Em 😭 (which btw, Empanada was a damn saint for always asking the real questions and getting Tina to talk about lore!)

From that last stream, I want to know who was watching Tina and why. Clearly they were a very threatening presence that was absolutely sinking qTina in religious trauma! Gosh, I want more of Tina’s self hatred in the face of Bagi knowing and loving all the things Tina hates about herself.

- I wanted more murder husbands and Bagi interactions!!! All Roier and Bagi interactions were so good. Roier and Cellbit’s dedication to each other and their love was the greatest. Bagi wanted Roier to understand that her brother was a danger and Roier just didn’t give a damn.

- I needed Bagi to find a better support system btw. Cellbit was /not/ in the right headspace to be a brother to Bagi. He actively harmful because he was always coming loose at the seams. HOWEVER TUBBO AND BAGI SIBLING DYNAMIC AND LOYALTY WAS PEAK!! They could actually support each other, and their trust was amazing. I wish they had more time to grow that friendship…

- Bagi being a detective. Also Cellbit being a detective, but I really loved how Bagi went about investigating in particular.

- Anything with Foolish and the Federation!!! I needed the guy to either attempt overthrowing it to take power for himself or act as a double agent. So much potential!

- That fucking island hated bird people and I want a reason. I have a feeling it had to do with experimentation, but omg a bird hybrid mission to investigate would’ve gone hard.

A world where Baghera and Jaiden specifically got to explore their pasts would’ve been beautiful.

- A friend mentioned this but Cellbit was doing stuff with Ordem Paranormal in this server!!! His character arc was following the fears and bro was in the middle of building a Death house! I feel robbed of a Chaos!Cellbit arc.

- I personally felt that there were so many threads that lead to some factor of the island being a simulation or video game adjacent? That might deserve a separate post tho if I wanted to expand.

- Hey guys,, qQuackity actually went to fucking hell. Do we remember that?? He went to hell and was taunted by the dark Cucurucho. Then bro came back?? What the hell was up with the Federation or the just the island’s connection to the after life?

Philza mentioned that the island was strange because people couldn’t /really/ die there. Instead people ended up as ghosts (which Lullah could hear), but also there totally were angels and devils on that fucking island. I almost feel like there wasn’t a set plan for any of this, but holy shit it would be cool to get solid lore on it!

- I didn’t keep up with the Code and Etoiles lore too closely, but it would’ve been cool to get some answers. It seemed to tie into the past of the island which is so important.

I have more than this, buuuut this list is long already!!

I know we're all quite disappointed, now, about all of the things QSMP had going that will likely never happen. So I'm curious; what things can you think of, big or small, did we never get to see? A big arc planned, character growth that never occurred, a build never started or finished, a plot point that went nowhere, a question that was never answered, people who never reunited or met, even just a person reacting to/ seeing something.

Feel free to list as many as you can think of, or rant to your heart's content. We could all do with getting some of that grief of missed potential of our chests.
