“Zionists use antisemitism as a shield against criticism” is honestly a pretty hilarious case of projection from the Jew-hater crowd, considering that they consistently use anti-Zionism as a shield against criticisms of antisemitism.
“I’m not antisemitic, I’m just anti-Zionist; that’s why I called World War 1 and 2 a Zionist plot by the Rothschild family. What, is it antisemitic to criticize rich people now? Teehee.”
You know exactly what you’re doing. And so do we.

yet another pretend wip wednesday - this one for my TBA bonkai legacies fic
“How did you get this?” Bonnie asks, crouching down to take the ascendant from Lucie’s hands. “What were you doing in my room?”
“We just wanted to look at it,” Lucie whispers, her eyes beginning to shine with tears. “It was making the funny sound again-,”
“I keep this locked up for a very good reason, sweetheart,” Bonnie sighs, pulling the little girl in for a hug. “You both know better than to siphon my door.”
“We didn’t mean to,” Lucie sobs, clinging to Bonnie. “It was an accident!”
“Honey, it’s okay, it's okay. You're not in trouble,” Bonnie murmurs, hoping she won’t hear the lie. She clenches her hand tighter around the ascendant, keeping it held out to the side. “I'm just thankful you didn't open it. Where's your sister?”
Lucie draws back to look up at her with tear stained cheeks.
“She went away.”
A cold chill slides down Bonnie's spine, rendering her useless for several heartbeats.
“Away?” she asks when she’s found her voice. “Where did she go?”
With a trembling arm, Lucie reaches out and taps the center of the ornate box.
���Sissy’s in there,” she whispers. “The bad man pulled her in.”

Neil Gaiman has literally said "I think Israel has the right to exist." a full year after the killing of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 - by very definition, Zionism. If he currently feels that this statement is outdated or inaccurate, then he should have responded as such or acknowledged that what he has said before warrants suspicion at the very least, but instead his response has made it seem like OP's post came out of nowhere, causing his leagues of fans to flood OP's blog with assumptions and accusations of antisemitism - knowing full well they are wont to jump to his defense at the slightest judgment, and yet he chose neither a definitive statement in response nor to ignore the OP, but the most deplorable middle ground. He must have known that accusations of antisemitism are THE leading silencing tactic against anyone who opposes Israel. He couldn't spare support for the cause, and even fanned the flames against it, and I'll always remember how people considered their love for a show more important than bearing the thought to even QUESTION its creator.

I’ve seen a decent amount of people comparing the vibes of the qsmp to the dsmp and I thought id give my two cents because there is a huge difference between these servers that I haven’t seen mentioned. I’m gonna put it under a cut so if u don’t care for the dsmp or this comparison ignore this post XD
So, the main thing, is that the dsmp was never intended to be a roll play server while the qsmp was 100% a role play server from the start- like that is the entire point lol
Because the dsmp was never intended to be an rp server, it didn’t have the infrastructure to support the collaboration required irl. There are so many horror stories of last minute script changes and people being left out of the loop for key events and its like... the server had had so much time to implement things irl to help with that but they didn’t because only a few people were running the show.
This is the other thing, the main lore and story was mainly driven by like 3 people so all the other ccs lore and plans were left in the dust. People were constantly being rainchecked on important lore events until it was too late and the server/audience had moved on or the lore that was there was belittled and mocked by the more popular ccs. And because these ccs didn’t take it seriously, neither did their massive audience. Most people only cared about lore where they were the center so collaborating was very difficult. It was really messed up and I’m still salty about a lot of it lol
My favorite arc on the dsmp was the eggpire arc because there were no main characters. Everyone involved was on equal footing and you could tell there was a lot of communication and planning irl and that everyone involved was passionate about the story they were telling. However, any time Tommy touched the lore, I would get so pissed because he was such an ass. Like, any lore Tommy touched that did not revolve around him, he ruined and I’m glad people stopped trying to involve him in the eggpire after like 1 or 2 streams lol He is one of the main reasons many fans thought the eggpire arc was a joke. He is just one example of a cc on the dsmp that had terrible rp etiquette, there were many more.
I think the end of the eggpire arc, the red banquet, was a victim of the more influential ccs on the server not wanting it to become the server ending threat it should have been. They wanted it to remain a side story. The lead up to the red banquet was so amazing and the stream itself was also so amazing but it just felt like the beginning of the eggpire’s arc! I was so confused when that was the end of the eggpire because - without changing anything about the red banquet - it opened the door for a truly great conclusion to the dsmp storyline that could have tied of everyone’s character arcs without it dragging on for another 1, 2?, years only for a weak ass finally.
I have an entire 40 chapter fic outlined where the red banquet is the beginning of the end for the server and its a banger - if i ever actually write it T_T
I’m going to briefly explain why the red banquet planted a future arc perfectly: the egg killed a demigod (Foolish) which could have given it enough energy to hatch or at least become close to it. Purpled could have been playing Quackity and BBH to get double payment and told BBH that Quackity was going to attack, that’s why Purpled didn’t chase after the eggpire when they were escaping - then, when Quackity destroyed his UFO, Purpled joins the eggpire to get revenge on Quackity. Everyone at the red banquet who ate the soup could have been infected by the egg and slowly brainwashed over the following days/weeks. Nicki (a member of the anarchist commune) was on the inside and could have been working with Techno, leading to the anarchist commune joining the fight against the egg as a whole. The Red Banquet was a false victory that put the rest of the server at ease while the eggpire was only growing stronger.
It could have been so good!!!! Screams.
But - my theory - is that bbh and the others had to wrap it up because the bigger ccs had “more important lore” that they wanted to do. The eggpire and red banquet arc felt the most close to the qsmp out of any lore on the dsmp which makes total sense as to why Quackity invited bbh since the eggpire was mainly his creation XD
I think Quackity learned a lot from the chaos and disorder of the dsmp behind the scenes and went out his way to ensure his server would not run into the same problems. Not only is there a solid infrastructure of admins and discord channels, he chooses to bring in ccs who are respectful and have good rp etiquette and know how to tell stories. Everyone has been wondering why Jaiden was added, including Jaiden XD, but it makes sense! She is a story teller and those are the types of people Quackity needed.
At the end of the day, the dsmp was never intended to become an rp server and was doomed by that from the start, just like L’manberg. There are plenty of wonderful stories that were told but so many more that were left in the shadows and forgotten due to poor rp etiquette and that will forever be a tragedy.

Ughhh I love Roots of Pacha but the fact that rare animal spawns are dependent on taming MORE INDIVIDUALS THAN THERE ARE VARIANTS is so fucking stupid.
Also stupid: Bred animals do not count towards this arbitrary number. So if you catch one of each type and then work towards improving your stats? You will never get there.
If other people had not repeatedly told me the number I had to tame I would NEVER have done that. I do not feel like most people would.
And the game itself never even implies you need to do this, so the only reason we know is that kindly code divers found Absolute Nonsense and went ‘hey FYI--’
