#qsmp nice cog

[angelpaperclip]

Etoiles: I've got a secret... I've got a shield! Tubbo: I've got a secret, too! Uh... I don't, actually. I tell everyone everything. Etoiles: That's not true. Tubbo: [Walks away]

[ahalliance]

tubbo’s 5 day long copiuming for étoiles to show up paid off <33 (transcript below the cut)

[Video transcript:

Tubbo: ‘Did Etoiles arrive?’ What do you mean, Etoiles has always been here, I’m in his basement right now. What do you mean ‘did he arrive’. I’m literally in his basement. He’s always been here. I’m literally in his basement, man.

Tubbo: And you’ve literally interrupted me again, wow! Wow. While I’m telling you the most important part of my story. Wow.

Tubbo: Wow, ‘show us’? Oh, I can’t. I— he’s camera shy, he’s camera shy, you know Etoiles. He’s camera shy, he’s a faceless streamer. He’s a faceless streamer! It’d be wrong to show him but just know he’s here! He is here, he’s just camera shy.

Tubbo: And he’s been so nice to let me stream in his basement so I don’t wanna like— you know, I don’t wanna like interrupt. Like you know? Like— it’s his boundaries, don’t— don’t, it’s his boundaries. Just he is here, I promise he’s here! I promise.

[sound of door opening]

Tubbo: He— he is definitely here. He is— [looks to the side, starts yelling]

[Etoiles enters, pushes Tubbo over and out of the way of the gaming setup]

Etoiles: Wh- where is the game? [gestures to computer screen]

Tubbo: What game? Oh, I haven’t started yet

Etoiles: [disappointment]

Tubbo: Pfft, hey!

Etoiles: We don’t give a shit about your shitty Just Chatting! Discussing about dumb stuff, saying—

Tubbo: What do you mean dumb stuff? It’s not dumb

Etoiles: [imitating Tubbo] Uhhh look, I’m with ten of my friends and I just want to— I’m here, pressing buttons—

Etoiles: No, the setup is kinda cool

Tubbo: Yeah, yeah, see it’s alright! It’s alright—

manifesting some critduo fics. nice cogs my beloved

[fitpacs]

Happy Sunday, Qsmpblr!

here’s what i’m proposing today - since things are quiet on all counts lately, let’s take this chance to show some love and positivity to each other :)

Fic writers - let the authors in the community know what your favourite fic(s) of theirs are, and what you like about them! do they capture a particular character’s aura super well it reads as if it could be canon? is their dialogue always on point? take this chance to let them know!

Artists - similar to the above, let the artists in the community know what your favourite pieces of theirs are! does their interpretation of one of the cubitos/eggs always hit just right? their line work/use of shading is extraordinary? tell them!

Theorists - as the cubitos’ stories are now in our hands, theorists are like fairy dust for us now - let them know how appreciated they are! is their interpretation of one of the cubitos’ stories better than what could’ve been imagined in canon? tell them, keep those cogs turning in the theorists’ minds!

Bloggers - is there a specific qsmpblr blog that you scroll through religiously as if it were the morning paper? they just make the posts that have you nodding along, and you can’t imagine the community without them? tell them! kind words can go a long way!

Animatics creators - now that the server is closed, it’s up to us to keep giving the animatics the recognition that the qsmp movie nights used to do! a comment on youtube, a nice message on the creators’ blog/twitter etc - could make the world of difference to keep the animatics coming that will make us laugh, cry and third wheel!

And EVERYONE else - everyone deserves a nice message! the community’s future is essentially in our hands now that the server is closed - yes some people have left and continue to leave, but for those of us that remain: we’ve only got each other now! let’s do all we can to keep morale high and keep our tight-knit community as it always has been here on qsmpblr!

this community is exceptionally talented, and i’ve seen posts of so many people feeling a bit deflated (whether it be from lack of new qsmp content to feed from and create or lack of engagement on their posts - which, sidenote, reblogs do more than likes on posts! - or other reasons entirely) and it does genuinely break my heart, so i thought i’d make a community-wide plea!

Basically - here’s a challenge from me to everyone that sees this: send some love (anon or off anon, your call!) to your favourite qsmp creators/bloggers, because believe me, it can make the absolute world of difference ♥️

Fit zooming in on Critduo arguing like he's watching a telenovela lmao

[angelpaperclip]

He forgot the "IT'S NOT OVER TILL IT'S OVER" lmao

[angelpaperclip]

I keep thinking about this clip.

How Tubbo sees himself VS how Etoiles sees him:

[angelpaperclip]

Sunny: "ATE LITERALLY"

Tubbo: "Yesss! Oh my God, Sunny, I'm so proud! You've made me so proud!"

Etoiles: "...she just ate."

Tubbo: "She just ate."

Etoiles: "What 'proud'?"

Tubbo: "I don't know, for not being fucking dead yet?"

Etoiles: "Yeah, yeah... okay."

PARENTING STYLES COLLIDING

[angelpaperclip]

The way Etoiles crouches at Tubbo when he greets them.

🤏🤏🤏🤏

[angelpaperclip]

Tubbo & Etoiles saying bye to each other like giggly schoolgirls who are planning to meet up after school to talk shit about everyone else.

[terezicaptor]

Why does every time etoiles makes a comparison between himself and tubbo it feels like this

Why did he compare himself and tubbo to the sun and the moon

Mourning The Death Of Someone You "Kind Of" Hated

Etoiles Reacting to Tubbo's Death (BECAUSE HE MOST LIKELY WON'T EVEN FIND OUT IN CANON AND I'M DISAPPOINTED ALREADY)

-----------

Etoiles was relieved Tubbo was dead.

The empty flutter in his stomach when he heard the news felt like relief. Or indigestion.

Like being told stressful plans were cancelled. Every meeting with Tubbo always did end up somewhat stressful.

If they ended up in a fit of laughter or an argument, there was a dissatisfaction of never being able to get the last word in. That was the annoying type of person Tubbo was, who could never hold back his words, but Etoiles could also never say enough.

He felt that even if he argued with Tubbo all day, that feeling of dissatisfaction would never go away.

So there was relief. Etoiles felt genuine relief that he'd never feel that way again.

There was secondary concerns, like who would care for Sunny, or how many of his friends would mourn him. But he knew everything would work out in the end. Loss and death were inevitable in anyone's lifetime, so in the long-run it wasn't a concern.

Crying wasn't a problem. Grief would last a few weeks. Maybe months. But they'd move on.

Time would pass. They'd fall into a new normalcy. Find new routines that excluded the people they'd lost.

They always did.

There was no emptiness that couldn't be filled with the excitement of being near death. The joy of finding new loot. The joy of discovering new enemies.

The joy of spending time with family. Of deepening friendships, and starting new ones.

Some days he'd see traces of Tubbo's life. Things he built. Blocks he placed. Intonations in people's speech that mimicked British slang that no one else used.

He'd feel a numbness itch at the edge of his mind. A fleeting thought that could only half-shape itself. Waiting for something else to happen.

But it never did. So it remained the vestiges of a feeling.

In the birds singing or Pomme's smile.

In the moon setting or the sun rising.

In the endless world he saw before him. In a world that never stopped for anyone. Full of impossible things. Of impossible beings. Of impossible meetings. That he could burn down and rebuild with his own hands.

A world where nothing was out of his reach if he fought and begged hard enough, and he did do a lot of begging to the universe.

But he never wished for Tubbo to return.

It would be a defeat.

He'd never cry for Tubbo, and he knew Tubbo would never cry for him, and that made him smile.

He'd helped bury Tubbo's decomposing body. He'd walked to his house to talk to him and found it empty in more than one occasion.

But there was never a feeling of hopelessness.

He knew wherever Tubbo was, he was waiting, itching to get rid of Etoiles' relief again.

To continue sharing that annoying feeling of dissatisfaction.

They.....

[terezicaptor]

critduo act like giggling schoolgirls when they say goodbye to each other. They act like they call each other bestie

[angelpaperclip]

Even tho I kept saying I was the only one in the Critduo tag, I had never actually checked it, I just assumed, and YEAH, IT'S MOSTLY ME. HOLY SHIT. I LOOK LIKE A LUNATIC TALKING TO MYSELF.

An issue I'm seeing with the 'Nice Cogs' tag is that it just blends in with other tag words. There's a bunch of stuff in that tag completely unrelated to qsmp. I guess I'll write it as one word 'NiceCogs' instead?
