Am I losing it, or have the Crows/PEGS started to become more unhinged in a /neg way

Oh no, the bird man brought a friend, and maybe more than one

@mcyt-yuri-week : AU/Post-Canon

I’ve had an au courtesy of @/philzas-early-gang-society stuck in my head where Hannah gets a redemption arc by going to the castle and working for Eret and well. I thought about it. A lot.

[isa-ghost]

Hey Isa!! So I haven’t really been following the QSMP, I’ll admit, but I heard about the recent angst of the “Cage for a cage” situation, and I’m very intrigued! What are Philza and Wilbur’s stories in the QSMP? I’d love to know more! Also where could I find all their footage to catch up?

Well Wilbur's sorta yeeted into the void bc of Lovejoy things, so there's not much to talk about on his front. He has his egg daughter Talullah, who Phil is looking after and has adopted as his own at this point bc its been months, and that's kinda it as far as major keypoints go for Wilbur lore. That and he canonized (or tried to?) him/Phil father/son dynamics again. Haven't heard much from the community if we accepted that as canon or as a Wilbur Bit Because Of Course He Tried To Canonize That Again.

Phil lore on the other hand. OUGH. I don't know where to start, it feels like so little and so much at the same time. Which is funny bc this motherfucker is so allergic to lore despite being a bomb ass rper (I have 11+ years experience rping, this man is rp veteran approved). I get timezones exist and whatnot & he's usually 3-4 hours into a stream already by the time he gets on QSMP to begin with, but he dodged so much of The Horrors for so long. This week has been an outlier and the crows are suffering thriving.

As far as his lore (in a simplified tldr) goes: Ancient bird man wired for nothing but survival gets plopped on a weird island with other English speakers & Spanish speakers. Shit Is Weird And Continues To Be, but all the islanders make friends with eacg other. They're *emotionally slams fist on table* levels of tightknit. Phil especially is always so ready to help anyone out. Timeskip a month or so, Island Federation decides to play matchmaker and then make said matches parents. They're given a dragon's eggs because Dragon Gone ??? Phil acquires egg kid and raises them to be a careful & loving powerhouse like himself (& then later gets second egg kid who's meant to be Wilbur's) only for the island he's stuck on to throw every wrench at him they can in the form of mobs, federation people, trivial ass tasks given by said feds, and more. The longer things go on the worse they get, and ancient man's biggest weakness is his two kids who keep getting used against him. But ancient bird man is an anarchist, this federation can pound sand. Federation doesn't like that! Ancient bird man get punished. (And that's skipping chunks of things, but I have the memory of a peanut so I'll leave better summaries to someone better equipped.) Also when he's not experiencing the horrors he has at least 4 other men thirsting for him at any given time and he donowalls their advances beautifully while also playing into their flirting and thirsting at the same time because he has No /R Thoughts, Only Goddess Wife and egg children. Goddess wife also encourages his unintentional yaoi-ing.

I DO know you can catch up on QSMP lore via the official recap channel "QSMP Info" on YouTube! There's two videos out so far so the recaps aren't caught up to date yet, but they're made by the admins of the server, so they're thorough and accurate.

There's also a Phil VODs channel that's run by one of the most devoted PEGS (Philza Early Gang Society, Phil's offline chatters <3) in the crow community. I'm sure they have every single QSMP vod uploaded (but strap in, Phil's not a 1-3 hour stream andy, he's a 5-8 hour stream chad). Most times, he does Hardcore first then QSMP later (though I think a few times while playing TOTK he'd get on later too so ??? Good luck?) so realistically despite being a 5-8 hour stream chad, there's only 2-4 hours of QSMP in the vod, you just gotta skim through the last half of the vod. For reference, you'll want to search for vods from March 22nd, 2023 to now. That's how long QSMP has been going. It'd be laborious to fish out every crumb of QSMP stream time but I do genuinely think it's worth it just to see how things on the island develop and why so many people are screaming about The Horrors every day.

I'm sure you could also scrape around YouTube for like. Fanmade recaps, perhaps even Phil-centric ones, though I'd be wary of ones that have character analysis rather than just the plain ol stream content a) because they won't have every bit of footage & b) Sometimes People Are Wrong About Characters. You could also dig for clips of major moments (Phil has some on his Phil Clips YT but they're mostly funny) but that'd probably not give you the whole picture if you wanna be slamming your fists on the table and screaming like a monkey with the rest of us LOL.

There's also plenty of livebloggers who scream as streams progress, so check out some tags maybe. The main one is probably #qsmp liveblogging but that'll be any & all member POVs so it's not the most helpful resource but an idea nonetheless. You'd probably be better off looking through #qsmp philza or #q!philza or something, you'd just have to sift through creative works, memes & shitposts too.

Any crows who follow me that might have more/better resources are welcome & encouraged to reblog or reply to this and add Phil lore summaries (and your character analyses bc Phil mains are trustworthy) or more things to check out in order to get all the Good Shit Lore(TM) btw!

(Reblogging might also help this reach crows who DO have more/better suggestions or the capability to recap Phil lore thoroughly, so please do that. :] )

Life is a Railway (I'm Gonna Rob It All Night Long)

Rating: T

Archive Warnings: Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings

Fandom: Pirates SMP

Category: Gen

Written for @mcytblraufest 2024 in collaboration with @philzas-early-gang-society

Primary content warnings: Alcohol, drugging, violence

"So… uh… Anyone down to rob another train?" Bek had asked it on a whim. Perhaps the alcohol had finally started to kick in, or perhaps it was that weird, bubbly feeling from the kvass that made them feel like they could take on the world if they kept drinking. But they didn't expect everyone else to respond with such enthusiasm to the suggestion. On the rooftop of a passenger train bound west, Bekyamon was met with a stranger with a fancy hat. He might be in her way to the baggage car, but perhaps with some timely intervention from some bounty hunters and a safe place to lay low, the lone wolf might not have to roam the Ecclesian borderlands alone again. Alternatively, the Kite faction-centric Fantasy/Sci-Fi Western AU, written by popular demand.

egg jail au my beloved

@philzas-early-gang-society

[letuce369]

coming here rather than reblogging my post 348963947 times but tbh at this point being in gapple gang means fucking nothing as far as chat behavior goes, which is sad. i don't trust the behavior of anyone not at least halfway to og. really i only trust pegs and the regular names i recognize tbh

damn - i just figured someone at gapple gang would know what pegs was :/

although to be fair i thought it stood for Pog Early Gang Society and not Philza's Early Gang Society for WAY too long

[meowmeowexe]

ERETBLR. SOON, MCYTBLR SEXYMAN WILL RELEASE THE NEXT POLLS, AND OUR BLORBO WILL BE PITTED AGAINST ZOMBIECLEO. I WILL ADMIT. THERE IS NOT MUCH HOPE. CLEO HAS A HUGE FANBASE. SHE HAS THE ENTIRETY OF HERMITBLR. BUT WE WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. THIS WILL NOT BE A CLEO SWEEP. THIS WILL BE ERETBLR FIGHTING TO THE END FOR OUR STREAMER.

NOW RISE ERETBLR WE RIDE AT DAWN!

I love your c!eret and Hannah au I came up with a similar concept called egg jail! :D

(tiny correction: it is not my au it is @/philzas-early-gang-society's, but no worries 💚)

you will have to tell me more about this :catpeek: because egg jail is so ominous and simple i made the weirdest noise and i NEED to know now omg

[atthebell-moved]

OKAY time to daemons post. so i started brainrotting about this in *checks discord* december of last year and still have not posted anything on ao3 bc im an mess. but. below are some of my favorite animal choices. if i have the energy i'll add ids but i will probably forget. i will also make a separate post about my angsty little ideas about limbo and death and how that works with daemons :]

everything is under the cut bc its the deranged ramblings of a deeply autistic man

firstly: technoblade

next: schlatt

i just think theyre cute tbh but i think the note about how they hunt is interesting <3

next: eret

is there any better choice than a lion. c'mon.

niki nihachu:

she bite >:)

quackity my love

for context, c!dream's daemon is a grey wolf. idr why i also noted the thing about bears but slay

and finally slimecicle:

genuinely no fucking clue what the ring-a-round the rosie screenshot was about but anyway i thought this would be cool for charlie :D

unhinged google slides presentation

a lot of the name meanings/animal symbolism is meant to be ironic or heart-wrenching on purpose; philip pullman did a decent amount of that in HDM itself and i find it really interesting to have that element going on from a story perspective.

a note about gender: i know in HDM daemons are usually the 'opposite' gender of the person but i dont really care. male characters typically have female daemons bc theres a lot of dudes on the dsmp and i want there to be the semblance of more female characters but there are a decent amount of people i've switched it up for.

please feel free to send me recs for the blank slides! or even ideas about characters i've already nailed down, i'd love to hear what people think about how to make this work

also hey @philzas-early-gang-society here it is :D

alright! i guess i'll ask:

what is the Egg Jail au?

Okay so basically me and @philzas-early-gang-society were messing around on discord and we came up with the idea that after the red banquet the eggpire is basically put in 'jail' (not pandora's vault to be clear) until they are unegged. Cue c!Eret's unresolved feelings on betrayal and lying and the fact that Hannah has done the same thing, but without the remorse (at first lmao) So she's pro Eret: Do you ever feel like... I dunno, the weight of your guilt is crushing you and you'll never move on from it? Hannah: ma'am this is a jail cell and I need food also Puffy is actually evil. (but that's not figured out for a while)
