#but it does just lead to the most tiring discourse that doesnt go anywhere

[superkitten-poison]

dsmp discourse might be The Worst Discourse of All Time simply because there is no canon. no one in the fandom really expects everyone to have watched All of the Dream SMP streams bc no one should, its basically impossible. and you shouldnt feel guilty for only watching the povs of a few ppl either, though its true you might miss a lot of technical canon. before lore became 30 min prewritten streams titled LORE it was streamers shooting the shit for 3 hours with bits and pieces of what the audience made a story of, as in literally made shit up about what was happening to make it make sense. if you take what's happening in face value the narrative is unintelligible, there are things that happened on stream and in character that ccs dont consider canon, there are personas and bits and roleplay that are undistinguishable from what the character is supposed to be and there's hardly 'what the character is supposed to be' bc for a while there were no characters. the dsmp is the most literal possible instance of "it is what you make of it", no one is wrong and everyone is wrong. time to battle to the death i guess
