grief is almost like a trenchcoat, stained with gunpowder, blood and worn to it's threads, but the warmth is so familiar you can't bear to part with it.

You know the dsmp fandom had its several negatives but it's still one of my favourite fandom experiences of all time. It was so chaotic but it was so earnest. It felt like everything was some big fandom inside joke. It was so silly. It was poetic at times. I don't think I've ever seen a fandom with so much literary and metatextual analysis (though some have gotten close). It honestly is what got me into narrative analysis. I just love how some of us made jokes and we all ran with it. It was a mess at times but God it was so fun. DSMPblr. I will always love you.

i unapologetically love the dream smp. it was never a phase to me (which i always thought felt so dismissive to label it as anyways when really it's no different than having any other interest that got really popular for a time) it was just a story that i loved seeing come together with all these different characters' perspectives and you could just jump in to any of them and step into an entirely different view of the world that you'd thought you'd fully understood already.

november 16th wasn't just incredible because you got to see c!wilbur fall apart and blow up l'manburg. it was also being able to look through c!tommy's eyes and see him try to show c!wil that it could still be saved, and c!phil and seeing c!wil and taking his life, and c!techno seeing the new government form and not going down without a fight, and c!niki finding the tnt but not telling anyone, and c!fundy taking schlatt's sword after enduring everything he put him through, and c!tubbo being left 'president of a crater', and c!quackity asking for c!wilbur seconds before the explosion sent him flying into the air, and c!jack being being killed by c!wilbur and no one noticing amidst all the chaos, and so many other captivating points of view that were all happening at the same time and you got to watch it all unfold and know that the story was just beginning.

it sunk it's teeth into me and i'm still not over it. it had its flaws but i still love it. happy november 16th.

Me rambling about the fandom atmosphere during November 16th:

With November 16th hitting the corner, I thought now would be a good time to finally post this post that's been in my drafts forever

I genuinely am of the personal belief that November 16th is one of those things where you had to have been there to fully appreciate and experience it at least in my opinion. I feel like the tense atmosphere leading up to the actual event is something that is not widely talked about in the fandom. A brief reminder for the fans that are new here or that missed the stream where the November 16th War was announced: during stream C! Dream revealed that there was a traitor hiding amongst Pogtopia and said it was someone that you wouldn't expect. This one line lead to multiple fan theories going around the fandom ranging from plausible to very far fetched. The fandom turned into one big game of Among Us and EVERYONE was a suspect.

Here's an old post of my mine that I think does a good job showing the mentality of most fans going into November 16th:

There were so many theories and speculations leading up to it and you genuinely had to be there to see everyone's different theories about who the traitor would be and the couple aus I saw come out of it. It made it so that when the event did happen, no one in the fandom knew who trust and NEITHER DID THE CHARACTERS. It was amazing watching characters debate whether or not to trust eachother live. It made it feel like any discoveries or possible leads that were made were realised by the character and the fandom at the same time, especially love that one scene where C! Tubbo and C! Quackity decide they sort of trust eachother and talk about who they don't trust. I distinctly remembering switching between povs and watching the dashboard lose their shit and how current character mains would be like "OH [CHARACTER] IS ACTING SO SUSPICIOUS :0" or just liveblog whatever characters were doing and it was a really fun way of keeping up with most of the characters even if I couldn't physically watch all their povs at once

This is less about the atmosphere but more something I feel like people don't talk about enough: Phil wasn't on the Dream SMP before November 16th and we had no concrete indication he would be there. There were a lot of fan theories and headcanons about him joining and I remember seeing all the art of him joining on November 16th and at the time thinking "Oh that's really cool but I doubt they'll actually do it" SO I CAN'T DESCRIBE THE SHEER EMOTIONS I FELT WHEN HE JOINED?

I honestly still don't think I'll ever forget watching C! Wilbur press the button and watching everything go to shit at once after such a tense buildup. Whenever I tell my irl friends I once stayed up till 5am on a school night to watch a live minecraft roleplay event, most of them joke or express (VERY UNDERSTANDABLE) concern but I honestly don't regret a thing. I'd do it 30 times over just to experience that again and watch my dashboard go apeshit. November 16th will always be one of my favourite events in any media ever.

happy november 16th to everyone celebrating hihi

wanted to share a video i made 3 years ago (i feel old) of everyone's reaction to phil joining the dream smp. i remember he was streaming and said his stream would be chill but then he just fucking joined the smp and it was absolutely insane
