#and the other cellbit

[cao-tick]

There is two side of the philever fandom:

The "Genius Forever and Old Man Phil"

And

The "Hardcore Philza and Silly [yandere] wet cat"

[The poly fans are here too /patpat]

AND THEN WE ALL UNITED FOR THE GREATEST "They are two great dads watching the sunset"

Forevers character is so funny. Competent, rich, genious man, who is cracked at the craft and cares deeply for his family. He uses his huge brain to protect the eggs at all costs. He is thoughtful, determined and consistent in his goals.

Enter Phil. A random gremlin of a man who happens to look like someone Forever knows.

Proceed to reduce Forever to a complete idiot. This man is now feral for one thing only - the love of a man whos only traits are violence on sight and boosh boosh.

i forgot to post this during june but i think one of the reasons qsmp was so important was how unapologetically Gay it was

for starters, the number of creators and admins involved who are irl queer of some variation, just chilling in a place where any kind of phobia would get Philza's legendary ban hammer faster than you could say "rainbow jelly"

and then the characters.

i remember showing up that first day and being shocked that somehow foolish had an ex-boyfriend already (I had missed the squidcraft lore apparently)

that server. gay. all the gay. all kinds of gay.

govermentally assigned platonic husbands that stayed together the whole time (despite one of them being gone for months at a time), not a chance in hell of infidelity. Proud fathers of two wonderful children.

governmentally assigned partners who yelled full volume at each other about cheating any time they were in the room together and between the two of them killed two children.

a grieving father and ex-convict becoming one of the most solid couples in the server, with a beautiful wedding and consistent public displays of affection via the in-game chat.

a demon ashamed of who she was and a lonely detective struggling with family trauma, now with a lil girl of their own, to love together and take care of, with more moms than could ever allow the little girl to ever be lonely herself.

a 2b2t warrior coming to terms with his sexuality with the support of his beautiful baby boy at his side, slowly but surely opening up to his eventual Brazilian Boyfriend. Where they went from the most cautious couple (baby steps) to the most sickeningly sweet couple on the server.

- and this list doesn't even scratch the surface.

gay characters, trans characters, ace characters, aroace characters, gender fluid characters, all kinds of relationships and families.

all presented without negativity or shame.

the point of the server was to exchange languages and cultures, without the biases and barriers seen so much in both the content creator scene and the wider world.

it also had a beautiful little side effect, practically by accident.

our lgbtqsmp.

Cellbit: Hi!

Etoiles: [He jumps] WHOA!

Cellbit: I think you're muted.

Etoiles: O-oh! You scared- you scared me! [Laughs with Cellbit]

Cellbit: I'm sorry! Do you need help?

Etoiles: Bro, there's a problem, like– Excuse me, but– I'm playing a game, I don't know if you know, it's like, "Enigma of Fear."

Cellbit: Ok, ok, yeah, I heard it came out.

Etoiles: Ok, yeah, and I'm opening something, and when I'm opening the thing, it's not working! Look, look, look, if–

Cellbit: Oh yeah! It's like a crumpled paper, right?

Etoiles: IT'S WORKING NOW! [Laughs] Ok, ok– I just need to reset-

Cellbit: Yes. Yeah, I fixed it live.

Etoiles: Ok, you fixed it? Ok ok ok, thank you, man.

Cellbit: [Laughs]

Etoiles: Thank you, thank you, I just need to... to go out, and to go in. Ok, um– It's beautiful, for now. It's a pretty cool experience!

Cellbit: Are you enjoying it? Are you liking it?

Etoiles: It looks like you– Like um–

Cellbit: Aww...

Etoiles: The enigma you did like, in all your Minecraft stuff? We look like–

Cellbit: Yeah.

Etoiles: It's kinda the same, but it seems like you a bit sick in the head, because–

Cellbit: [Cracks up]

Etoiles: [Laughs] There's– bro, the first enigma– the first enigma is bullsht!

Cellbit: Did you– yeah, I see you haven't solved the whole thing yet, right?

Etoiles: No no no, I- I- I'm in front of the 4a, thing.

Cellbit: Oh! You mean the menu? The menu puzzle.

Etoiles: Yeah, the menu.

Cellbit: Oh, alright, yeah. I just got to your stream, I'm watching with subtitles on.

Etoiles: Bro, I was so tilted on the first one! [Laughs]

Cellbit: [Laughs]

Etoiles: I was so tilted! I was like "OK?! Four years of development to put- to put the blood on it?!" No... It seems– the enigma with the 4pm thing on the alarm seems to be problematic.

Cellbit: Oh wha- why problematic?

Etoiles: Yea- no– It seems to be hard.

Cellbit: Oh! You know, it is- it is kinda hard, but not that hard. You're a smart guy, you get it.

Etoiles: Ehh, we will see. Thank you so much for the insights, I will–

Cellbit: Yeah, if you need any hints, just call me again.

Etoiles: I will call you bro, you're amazing. See you.

Cellbit: Bye bro!

After this, Etoiles says something along the lines of "This is a bit of a flex when you feel like asking a question about a game you can call the dev." Please let me know if there's a better way to translate this; I don't speak French so I'm solely relying on subtitles here.

[tubchunk]

wdym that everyone who stayed back on the island stayed back for love. wdym everyone that ran to save themselves also did it for their love for each other. wdym people tried their best to save the people they'd spent two weeks fighting cuz at the end there was love THERE WAS LOVE.

thats what the qsmp has always been about. it's love. all kinds of love. and what you're willing to do for that love. its love its love its love

[kadextra]

fantastic to see the french will have company in the form of these two insomniacs

[takethebodymarc]

the qsmp experience🔥🔥🔥

[bloodpen-to-paper]

Seeing how Bolas team is playing out by Day 4 is fascinating because even though it seems obvious, Day 1 really solidified much of how the format of the event is going

Bolas Rojas went through the absolute worst of this event on the first day, making them resilient to the difficulties that came after (its the "no where to go but up" mentality), as well as bonding them in a way that made them very well-coordinated (which allowed for them popping off on Day 2). Them being kicked down so much means they can roll with the punches of being kicked down again, and them being so team-oriented makes them capable of actually holding their own in this competition, mainly by lifting each other up when one is sinking.

Meanwhile the other teams had adjustment periods that more eased them into the event, but as a result they haven't faced the worst, so they feel especially demoralized when they face difficulties. They also didn't have the experience of team-bonding to Red's level, so they're less coordinated and need more time to really settle. When they sink, its more of a personal problem.

You've also got the fact that Bolas is very distrustful towards non-Bolas members. They were kicked down severely by Bad and Tubbo Day 1 and as a result they stick to each other like glue and don't give an ounce of benefit of doubt to others, especially Bad. Of course some members are more social/trusting with the other teams, but Philza's cold shoulder towards Tubbo's negotiations, and the entire Bolas vs Etoiles accidental conflict shows how jumpy Day 1 made them. To this day Cellbit talks of Bad, one of the closest people to him pre-Purgatory, like an enemy because of him killing Charlie on that first day.

Jaiden will happily manipulate Pierre into thinking she's teaming with Blue, Charlie and Cellbit will take any chance to kill Bad, Philza will trust no one, Baghera is always a moment away from deteriorating into her "Day 1 mode", Foolish spends more time in team-only calls than proximity chat, Carre hasn't forgotten about Roier being the first to kill him

Its Bolas Rojas against the world.

[elcucurucho]

I think the tricky part of characterizing qcellbit is he’s more in control than other people think he is. but he’s less in control than he thinks he is.

Like the murders are a calculated choice, he didn’t literally go crazy and start killing random people, he’s killing targets. It’s for a reason, a purpose, it’s justified and logical and a means to an end, just like every other isolating, self sacrificing plot qcellbit has committed to on the island.

And he’s using that justification to mask that he is genuinely spiraling. He’s not doing well. He’s reverting to old habits and an old persona, essentially an old trauma response, because things keep getting worse and he can’t see a way out. He’s aware of that too, to an extent. But his solution is to use his problems as a tool. As long as he has an objective, he can put off dealing with any of it. He can’t be having a genuine mental crisis because the mental crisis is part of the plan, and if he planned it then it’s not out of his control.

The sleepiest guys in purgatory 💤💤💤

(Couldn’t decide on lighting for this one so you get three versions!)

[royalarchivist]

Bad: Hey, Etoiles!

Cellbit: Hey, Etoiles!

Etoiles: Hello, Cellbo!

Cellbit: Oh, you called me Cellbo! That's cute. 😊

Etoiles: Cellbo, Cellbo!

Cellbit: Ah, you wanna show of your shield, huh? You wanna show of your shield? Sure, man.

Etoiles: Exactly! Exactly. 😎

Cellbit: Yeah, you can show off your shield.

[smoke-glass]

Honestly I feel like we need to give the CC's some time to breath and to take a break for awhile.

Especially since they were the ones rping with the eggs, they were the ones hanging out with eggs for hours, they were the ones who got to know them for so long. And to finally say goodbye to someone who you've hung with for over a year. It's gonna be hard to wanna come back to the server after all of that.

And yes just like it was hard for us to say goodbye, it was also hard for them as well. Their sad and grieving, just like we all are. I mean they are human after all.

So please be patient, be respectful, and be kind to them during this time.

Thank you <3
