the dream smp journey: attempting to make the lore of the dream smp more accessible.

so back when i first wanted to get into the dream smp i had absolutely no idea where to start. i asked some people and they told me pretty much “look up dream smp + [insert youtuber name] and start there” and so i did, but i quickly came to realize how much i was missing from the story by not seeing all the different points of view.

so i decided to make my own playlist.

it was just for myself at first, but as i got more obsessed with the story, i also gave the link to some friends of mine so they could have the full experience, and they loved it. so i kept updating it.

my goal was to try and make a capsule of the entirety of the lore on the dream smp across almost every single POV, because while i do appreciate those who make recap videos, they always miss something and it’s usually with peoples’ POV who aren’t considered to be “main characters” which sucks because one of my favorite things about the dream smp was how everyone was their own main character with their own individual storyline you could get invested in.

i’ve seen every single video in the playlist, and did my absolute best to discern what should be included and what didn’t need to be. 

for instance, while i personally enjoyed streams where they’d just goof off, this is a lore-centric playist so i didn’t include all of them unless one of the jokes or such gets mentioned/becomes important later on. or if there is a lore event happening but two people have almost identical streams to one another then i decided between the two of them which one to keep. or if the cc themself made an edited version of their experience, i would decide whether to go with that or keep the original vod

it’s far from perfect. i tried to keep up with it as long as i could I STILL HAVE VIDEOS IN MY WATCH LATER THAT I PLANNED TO ADD but simply put while the dream smp storyline got longer and longer it became harder to keep up with. i watched pretty much all the streams when they happened but failed to update the playlist accordingly so right now it has almost everything up until ”Hitting on 16.”

i always wanted to finish it before i posted it, but i’ve been seeing people talk about how they miss the experience of watching the dream smp and while i obviously can’t provide the full interactive experience that the dream smp offered as it came out, i knew i couldn’t just keep this in my back pocket and thought i could at least offer a good chunk of the experience for you guys to still be able to keep!

here’s the playlist, spanning over 300 videos.

there’s also a semi-canon playlist (not nearly as thorough) for events that get mentioned by the cc’s a lot or are just cool to have and i wanted to include them somewhere so here it is also!!

to go along with it i also made a masterpost (can you tell i love making lists) which is what every single video on the playlist is supposed to be (and was last i checked, but videos get taken down every so often so there might be a couple missing here and there).

i hope to update this one day and have it fully finished, but with my schedule (full-time college student babyyyy) and simply the hundreds of hours of content i’d need to sift through it just seems impossible (and frankly just really intimidating) to challenge alone right now. so i also wanted to give this to the community to maybe be able to do what i couldn’t!

my hope with this is that if someone in a year or two (or whenever really) is interested in the dream smp they won’t have to sit through recap videos and instead can watch the real thing in a single playlist connected to the doc. my dream is for the masterpost and the playlist to go hand-in-hand, being like a guide people can follow that would also link to other moments and lore that is saved but just not avaliable on youtube, so we don’t have all these moments just lost to time.

i want to make this collaborative, i’m hoping this will maybe spark others to share what videos/moments they have saved and stored with each other for the dream smp and maybe together we could complete this thing somehow!! make the playlist and masterpost i dreamed of (the one right now is scuffed, but at least it’s something). the dream smp is one of my absolute favorite pieces of media out there and i want to share this with people but (as you can probably tell) i have no idea what i’m doing!! any step to help make the story more readily accessible is a good one, though!

i know i’ve missed things but i’ve done my best. and while not the perfectly polished thing i hoped it would be when i sent it out to the world maybe it could be a good building block for the community to use. so please share this!! reblog it!! all that jazz!! i want this to be for everyone!!

anyways, this is a long post. but the whole reason i got into the dream smp in the first place was because of the awesome fan content i saw and this crazy and creative community and i want to be able to give back, if i can.

barfing very incomplete stanford thoughts here bc i need to get them out of my brain or i’ll actually explode

hypervigilance headcanon go brrrrr (this one prob isn’t new to y’all; it’s practically canon with how he acts & seems to be popular in the ford fan community from what i’ve seen, i just want to amp it up some more. turn up that there angst dial babey!). more to this: jumpy at many things including but not limited to fast/unexpected movements, loud/unexpected sounds, etcetera.

gets really annoyed when people pronounce et cetera “exetra”.

studied latin in college. like a fucking nerd

paranoia but what if we added More. i said TURN THE DIAL UPPPPPPPPPPP

journal 3 says he is excited to hear newest eurythmics chart topper so i’m assuming he’s a fan. i want mabel to show him new music. i’m definitely going to project my music taste onto mabel. i also want him to hear WAP for the first time. i think it would be funny.

he’s either aroace or bi all around or some combination of those thangs, ie he has the same amount of attraction to all genders which is either a “normal” amount or possibly less or none (yes i am projecting. it’s called being valid and sexy). in other words: he doesn’t really understand romantic or sexual attraction and tbh he doesn’t care to. he has more nerdy important things to do. that being said he has def dated fiddleford and had a thing with bill (i feel like “dated” definitely isn’t the right term for the relationship of ford and bill. idk man i’m having thoughts at a million miles per hour rn i’ll explain later or whatever)

legitimately believed for a large portion of his life that anyone who gets close to him is either a) evil and wants to hurt him/the people he cares about OR b) inevitably going to get hurt/killed (or worse) because of what he called “the stanford effect”; basically the thought that he is Cursed™️ so he must isolate himself to save others from the effects of the curse or whatever the fuck

despite all the shit he’s been through, he does not identify as superstitious. he is first and foremost a scientist babey.

during his time in the portal, he clung onto his identity as a scientist desperately. i hc that he had to do some really fucked up shit to survive out there, and that he kept a series of field journals (or just one digital field journal would be easier probably) documenting his experiences as a way to keep himself sane (or as sane as he could be given the situation).

hello again fellow touhou likers

[riddlerosehearts]

i found ur blog recently after becoming incredibly infatuated with twst but specifically idia shroud (my friends said i act like him to an uncanny level and they were absolutely right...) and i love your vilidia posts dearly. ok that's it thank u

OMG that's so awesome, welcome to the twst fandom and congrats on having such fantastic taste in characters and ships lol!! i adore vilidia (obviously, if my whole vilidia tag is any indication) but i haven't posted about them in so long, i hope you don't mind if i use your ask as an excuse to share some silly little headcanons that i don't believe i've posted before:

so i think that when vil was like, 10 or so, his dad tried to encourage his love of potion-making by getting him one of those candy chemistry kits. the ones that come in super cute colorful boxes and teach you how to make things like exploding pop rocks and glow-in-the-dark gummies while explaining the science behind it. (here's a picture of basically the exact thing i'm thinking of.) but vil, poor sweet little vil who'd already let the brutality of the entertainment industry make him believe that he needed to be absolutely perfect, just rolled his eyes and said he was too old for that stuff and that all of that candy wouldn't be good for him anyway. he never once touched the kit, even though part of him probably did really want to.

and i also think that at some point, after he and idia had started dating, idia bought one of those same kits online and just barely mustered up the courage to ask vil if he'd like to join him and ortho in making some of the candy. he claimed the entire thing was ortho's idea, but vil could tell that idia really wanted them to do this together and he decided it'd be okay to indulge his boyfriend just once. as he actually made the candy he realized that although it obviously didn't teach him a single thing he didn't already know, it was still a lot of fun and he wished he hadn't rejected things like that as a kid.

also, speaking of chemistry, there's a voice line in-game where idia implies that he is not good at it. so while i think he and vil would be fascinated by each other's different fields of scientific interest and would love talking about it together i also think that one day idia just very overdramatically goes like: "omg i'm doing soooooo bad in my chemistry classes... if only some super smart and kind and very attractive person would help me out..."

and vil responds by telling idia that he most certainly does not share his younger brother's talent as an actor. but he agrees to help anyway and then they have cute study dates.

idia's habit of starting to excitedly infodump about his interests only to suddenly get embarrassed and stop persists for a while into his relationship with vil but every single time it happens, vil encourages idia to keep going. he often says things like "oh, are you done already? that's a shame, i was so looking forward to hearing more about sora's journey to save kairi". it takes a long time but eventually idia gets to a point where he's so comfortable around vil that he doesn't feel embarrassed anymore.

New headcannon just got airdropped into my thoughts. The song Hurts like hell but with click clack and it takes place during a depression episode at some point after thespius ascended but he hasn’t yet and is still dealing with the mental burden that is his friend/partner ascending and how his time is finite and all that sort of mental stuff that comes with your best friend/partner (and crush) now being immortal and them not knowing the certainties of it and if they’re relationship will ever be that same again for better or for worse.

This would honestly be such a cool animation but like I can’t animate for the life of me or have the time too with my break ending soon sadly

[dustedbooksandreadingnooks]

It was another peaceful day in their little corner of Etheirys- an island in the middle of the Cieldalaes, gifted by the Chief Admiral, that only her and Tataru knew the location of. (Sound familiar?) And while Kizuna was starting to feel truly rested for the first time in ages, he also felt, antsy. Not to do things(He held firm to the belief that if he was needed, his friends would call) but... he had cut all contact, from everyone. He hadn't heard from anyone in moons, nearly a turn, he thinks- time had blurred a little, with how little the weather changed on their island. He didn't know what anyone was doing- the twins were probably still in Garlemald, his da and Y'shtola in Sharlay, he could probably guess who was where, but what were they... doing? Were they well? Are they... upset? At my choice? Because I haven't called? It was just like when he left for Eorzea, all the way back at the start. He didn't have anything to write about at first to his da, to Krile, to Raha, so he just.... didn't. And by the time he did… he couldn't. It took happenchance to see them again, or perhaps the will of the star(He never did get to ask her about that.) Is he doing well? Is he upset, that I didn't let him know where I was going? That I didn't take him with me? That I broke my promise... That I haven't spoken to him once.... Just like before... Not that he could. He gave his linkpearl back to Tataru. He just hadn't been able to bear the thought of being hailed and having to answer. Because, I would've. I would've answered. I would've gone. Would, still go. His thoughts go round in circles, a snake swallowing it's own tail and biting down not knowing the only thing attacking it was itself. This is why he'd needed space, to be alone, to figure it out- or... as alone as he could bear, with the person he trusted the most to take care of... all of him. The one who'd told him it wasn't selfish to make this choice in the first place-

"-una! Kizuna! Ki-zuuu-naaaaa!" Ishi stands at the base of the tree, hands on her hips as she calls upwards to the thick dark tail she can very much see wrapped around the upper branch. He could be sleeping again, he'd been doing that a lot on their own little slice of serenity(A concerning amount, in the beginning, to the point of worry for her. But less now, these days.) But there's been something on his mind, she could tell. Something he was stressing about. Unacceptable! She even had an idea of what it was. She'd traveled with him long enough- watched him long enough- to be able to see how Kizuna wore his thoughts around the span of his shoulders, how his feelings stuck in the way he held his hands. The way the most bestial parts of him were the most true when he wasn't paying attention to them. She'd watched how the tension of it all had ever slowly unwound the longer they'd stayed here, watched him truly start healing. Well enough to be able to start worrying about others again, anyways. When Kizuna slept- truly slept, deeply- he mumbled in his sleep. Most of the time it was too low or mumbled to make out much, but she'd been able to pick out the shape of one particular name several times over the past couple nights. Ishi scaled the tree, hopping from branch to branch until she was straddling two of them face to face with a startled Kizuna.

"So this is where you were thinking," Ishi huffs, freckled face flushed from the sun and legs dusty from traipsing all over the island to look for him. She had some leaves and a twig or two stuck in her hair- this was definitely not the first tree she'd climbed to look for him, knowing what types of places he preferred to go. "Here.” She thrusts her hand out to Kizuna, an offered closed fist. "....You didn't keep your pearl, but I did. You should call G'raha."

Kizuna starts at Ishi's sudden appearance, and Raha's name- Was it really that obvious? He looks at her hand and then away, guilt weighing heavy in his stomach and drawing his shoulders forward as he curls in on himself. His hands move, a half-formed question. [What if....] What if he doesn't want to hear from me? What if he was upset, or worse, what if he didn't care?

Ishi huffs again, a little overtired from the sunburn she could feel and the tiredness of her feet(These sandals hadn't been the best choice for searching the length of the island over for him.) "I know he'd be happy to hear from you, so Call. Him. You won't believe it until you hear it from him." Or he better be. He's really important to Kizuna. She'd drag him out here herself if it came to it, to have them talk. She wouldn't even need to translate for Kizuna if spoken words failed him as they often did.

Kizuna flinches, ears pinning back at Ishi's bluntness- she was, right, that calling him would be the fastest way to settle himself, but that heavy feeling in his stomach was quickly gnawing it's way through to swallow the rest of him. He wrings a hand around the other wrist- hard enough scales audibly creak and bones pop.

He takes a shaky breath, throat closing up all too easily so whatever he was going to try to say only comes out as a smoky hiss. Frustrated. He was doing it again, the same thing over again, because he was so selfish-

Weight, as Ishi climbs over him to touch his face, pearl still clutched in her hand. "Hey," she says softly, after seeing how much this was clearly hurting him. Much more than I thought- She shouldn't have been so forward just because she was tired and worried about him. "....What's got you so worried?" Ishi waits for the answer. It takes Kizuna a few minutes, hands flexing as he chews on his lip and works through his thoughts. To pin them down in a straight line, into words- what was he actually worried about? "What if... he doesn't answer me," is what he ends up mumbling, shoulders sagging as the weight of the words leave his mouth with a harsh sigh. His fingers grip so hard his hands shake. It hurts- it grounds him. "What if he doesn't want to hear from me. What if I.... hurt him. By breaking my promise." What if I took too long- what if I'm too late-

Ishi's ears perk forwards to hear Kizuna better. Her face scrunches up in thought, cradling his face better in her hand. "...I think he'll understand, that you needed time," is what she decides on saying, gently petting through his hair(And it's gotten rather long, hasn't it?) "He still cares. I meant it- I think he'll be happy to hear from you, no matter how long it's been."

She climbs into his lap better, detangling Kizuna's hands from each other and pulling them to wrap around her. It's ok to touch me. "And if he doesn't, I'll have words with him." She huffs dramatically, tail and ears flicking up in an exaggerated way to show she was playing it up. Kizuna curls around her, cradling in that gentle way he holds her when he feels extra bad about himself. "But... only when you're ready, honey. He's waited for longer." For You, actually.
