hitting on 16 annotation dump

originally created march 24th 2022

transcript below for easy reading + extra notes at the end i added that aren’t in the image

note: some of this is disjointed, some of it is just random thoughts. this is just how I like annotating

Title: Hitting on 16 Annotation Dump 

Speaker: "Las Nevadas" as told by c!Wilbur (this is because all of the lines open with "I am" and the last line is "I am turgid Las Nevadas") 

Side Note: throwback to when you had to do those poems in high school/secondary school

Side Note 2: themes of artifice, healing, pain, and corruption?

-

First Line: I am the gilding of the gold 

gilding with gold: covering up appearances to look good, hiding (reminds me of Gilded Age) 

gold: power, righteousness, wealth

-

Second Line: I am the painting of the lily 

painting: artistic, passionate, 'higher class'/elevated, sophisticated, not real, imitation of the real thing 

lily: purity, death...

-

Third Line: I am the crushing of the sand 

crush: violent connotations 

crushing of sand: sand is already crushed. overdoing it? overcompensation? tryhard? grind down to dust? dust = death 

 Side Note: lol sand

-

Fourth Line: I am the tirading tide of bland 

tide: ocean = change, purity, vast 

tirade: long angry speech: c!Quackity DID make Las Nevadas as part of his defiant attempt to reclaim agency and power...

bland: c!Wilbur sees all of this and deems it boring... uninspired. tasteless. (which he doesn't actually because he wouldn't have wanted to join if he truly believed this) -> plays into the burger empire, bland food haha

-

Fifth Line: I am the taunting silver light which penetrates and scars the sky 

The Needle! Or the Effiel Tower, not sure 

taunting: reminder that c!Wilbur is rejected from Las Nevadas... He can probably see this from the Burger Van. 

silver: pure, holy 

penetrates: occupies his mind.

sky - mind, reminds me of c!Quackity's wings scars: reminds me of c!Quackity's scar... maybe equating Las Nevadas sky to c!Quackity? or maybe c!Quackity is the embodiment of Las Nevadas... also the fact that c!Quackity has his office in the Needle, and he bases his operations in there, so if the scar = the needle then it's like his actions stem from his trauma and pain... (percieved by c!Wilbur?) Additionally, scars are signs of healed over injuries... c!Quackity trying to heal from the past and move on even though it hurts sometimes. But if Las Nevadas is "artificial and fake", does this mean that c!Quackity's healing is fake? (c!Wilbur thinks c!Quackity isn't actually healing?) Alternatively, the light/tower is doing the scarring, so maybe this is hurting c!Quackity rather than helping

-

Sixth Line: I am the remnant hopes and dreams of all good men that come to die 

remnant = ghost: relates to "come to die" 

hopes and dreams: c!Quackity wanting a place to belong and call a home/reclaim agency & power 

good men: the corruption of c!Quackity Sadge

come to die: people gamble in hopes of winning it big but just end up in debt, maybe saying that c!Quackity is gambling on Las Nevadas making his dreams (previously stated above) come true, but it will ultimately fail (RUDE)

-

Seventh Line: I am the surgeon's chromium dagger 

surgeon: precision, skilled, career with a high percentage of sociopaths, able to ruthlessly do what others can't/maybe saying c!Quackity/Las Nevadas has no empathy. Maybe a callback to the healing in line five?

L'Manburg was made with the intent of being a drug empire and later prioritized being a home, Las Nevadas was made to control the economy on the SMP... maybe c!Wilbur feels like it is heartless in comparison to L'Manburg?  Even though they were both started as financial projects, Las Nevadas is on a very different scale... maybe some jealousy? 

chromium: shiny 

dagger: different connotation from sword, sword is more affiliated with knights and daggers are more associated with thieves = sneaky/cunning

-

Eighth (Final) Line: I am turgid Las Nevadas 

turgid: reminds me of turd not gonna lie 

swollen: infection? rotten, corrupted? impure intentions compared to L'Manburg? 

pompous: c!Wilbur thinks it is stuck-up 

Concludes that Las Nevadas has these qualities

-

Theory: self-projection by c!Wilbur. Might feel like he is putting on these ideas of grandeur but is actually investing into false hope and grasping at dreams to hold onto. Blandness... being tired... sounds like depression. Taunting light, he wants that healing for himself?  But he recognizes that it is unhealthy... unhealthy coping mechanisms? Jealous maybe? of c!Quackity who seems to have it together and wants that for himself while putting down c!Quackity/Las Nevadas because he wants them on the same level, to be kindred spirits. But he also recognizes that c!Quackity doesn't entirely have it all together, which is why he keeps poking at him to see the ugly, the anger. He doesn't want to be alone in his pain. Misery loves company and he is misery. He wants this shiny exterior to be fake, and to some extent he is correct. c!Quackity is in pain and he is hurting- he's trying to hold on and pull himself together and move on because if he doesn't it'll ruin him. Reminds me of c!Schlatt's ghost in the lore teasers...  c!Wilbur recognizes maybe that Las Nevadas is a place born from trauma and pain, and identifies with it. I am Las Nevadas, born from pain.

extras notes (created march 26th 2022): ADDING TO THE THEME OF ARTIFICE !! the fact that the desert is manmade!

inserted link to the following tweet

https://twitter.com/linktoo_craft/status/1507429054072471560

transcript of the tweet thread by @linktoo_craft (originally created march 25th 2022):

literally will never get over how poetic it is that quackity's las nevadas is an artificial desert

(addition march 26th 2022) The way it was originally a snow biome. Quackity rebuilt it by himself to his own vision of his city as a means to make it his own. It's a fake desert. Nevadas is translated to snow in spanish. Embellished and beautiful in its artificiality, a city of lights.

(addition march 26th 2022) Also something about foolish leaving his own home which is in a real desert and persuaded to go follow quackity, in a manmade desert. Like how cool is that when you look at all the miles and miles of sand and it starts goddamn snowing

i suggest that all of sootblr (is that the name) celebrate wilbur soots abortion on feburary 6th (10 weeks from MSR's release date)

[its-elvie-innit]

Dsmpblr stuff in one big archive post

The fake ranboo arg (run by a blog some people thought was ranboo or a kinnie. It never was, but instead was some sort of arg surrounding the ranboo lore. Multiple characters, like the Duke, duchess, and a discord server where people started translating the posts (which were all in ender, or minecraft galactic) (link to doc)

Minesonas, and then subsequently citizen memes. This was contained within three non-consecutive weeks, where people were discussing whether lmanburg had citizens or if it did, what would it be like?

People upset over ghostburs library being blown up. There were a lot of books in there important to a storyline, and some blogs were very upset they couldn't be archived

Mcytblr awards, which had a doc and everything (link)

DSMP sexyman!!!!! The competition one blog held to go over all the supposed sexymen in mcytblr, and if they were or not. The doc for this is here (link)

Dilfcourse (world sluttiest absent father) this went on prior to philza eventually finding out he was being called a dilf, and I think there may have been a poll (?) About who was the biggest dilf right after the one mcc with all new art of certain male ccs, but it also basically ended when philza got temporarily mad about tumblrites not wanting him on tumblr, and discovered dilfza. Then when he said he didn't like it, the entire "titty window" philza design disappeared and everyone stopped posting dilfza.

Philza nerfing a blog for an url (I think it turned out that tumblr did it? But it was still WEIRD) and EVERYONE got mad about it.

The one quackity kinnie blog? During this time, a ton of kinnie blogs popped up and the quackity one sticks in my head because it was kind of convincing

Drinnie. Another kinnie blog, I actually never knew if this one was real. It was more activ3 before I joined, but it was still a pretty large thing in small mcytblr.

Whatever we had going on with piss. I think dream started the pissbaby thing and it stuck. That was so big for so long

The split between dteamblr and dsmpblr. Also the protectiveness we kind of handed off between them. Being such a closely related fandom in the publics eyes, dsmpblr and dteamblr would both get hate anons about Dream and I still recall going to bat for them sometimes. Also the discussed "gnf sickness". I don't want to mention him because he's a horrible man and deserves jailtime but it was a part of it.

Mcytboundaries. Does anyone else remember that blog? That thing was so important in the first seven months I was here.

The death of kinnies. When those few kinnie blogs that cropped up started getting really upset over getting tons of copypastas and took them seriously. I remember being so annoyed at them because if you make a kinnie blog (NOT a roleplay blog) thats the culture!!! You knew that was going to happen!!!! Put a disclaimer in your bio or something gosh.

Beacon lamps sudden ubiquitous posts. Similarly with 420technoblazeit, sometimes there would be a joke that just stuck around because it was them who posted it.

This one's more recent, but those sootblr bloggers who kept having almost e-sex in random peoples notes. Even bloggers outside of mcytblr. What was up with those guys

Not wanting ccs on tumblr. Not an event, just the overarching opinion that it would be a bad thing. It slowly died off as an opinion during late 22, something that made me and a few other og mcytblrs very sad or hesitant because people would start sharing tumblr posts with the ccs. I remember It felt like the final death of og mcytblr to me

Does anyone remember if there was that one dsmp citizen server and if it actually happened???? That might be a fake memory.

Tubbo tumblr!! This is multiple events, but he mentioned he had one in early dsmp, and it kind of overjoyed people. Then, months later, he started scrolling on stream and people made posts (INCLUDING myself) about being so genuinely scared of him being online. Out of all of the "dsmper makes a tumblr" instances, I think this was the one with the most positive reaction.

Fuck dream hoodie (instagram) and mcytblrs reaction. Went in a really funny direction

Youtooz stealing mcytblr artists fanart

Hermitblr theory stolen by matpats yt channel and no reply

KARL HATEPOSTING. When for a month in 2021 everyone just HATED him for no real reason, maybe because of tftsmp?. I think it stemmed from two blogs, and then got its start in og mcytblr circles. I remember my ex mutual squid got too into it, it was really crazy. Why did we even do that.

Love or hosts.....love or hosts and the liveblogs...

The like, Hermitcraft vs Dsmpblr sudden dichotomy. One day I remember all of a sudden there were hermit blogs, and a few dsmp blogs after them, that started getting really pissy over people referring to dsmpblr as "mcytblr" because it wasn't the whole of mcytblr. Gosh that was so stupid and funny.

Those days people posted about crying over lost vods. Whenever someone did, it would catch like a virus and EVERYONE would start talking about how sad it was.

Kroger anon...Hearty anon...my loves. Hearty Anon was like the darling of mcytblr. I didn't even know they were a real blog I just thought they were like Kroger Anon. Always wanted one of those.

Finding out wooteena was like 11. Not actually eleven, but seriously everyone thought they were like an adult person I don't know.

Subtle, but the mcytblr friendgroups and different parts having beef with each other. It was really lowkey, but I'm sorry metfell and conarcoin and their whole deal had some real haters. thats probably because they were kinda mean sometimes.

INNITER OPRESSION. gosh I remember how giddy I would get defending myself over the url and saying it was just the first thing I thought of. If you had a certain url you were a magnet for sections of mcytblr in the silliest of ways I loved it so much. little cultural pockets for every streamer.

Mcytblrs reaction to the mcytwt trending writer. I thought that was so funny.

THE TUMBLR PODCAST. Those guys on tumblr that talked about us once!!!! On a podcast!!!! Similarly, all those times we dominated not only the trending page when there was a stream, but also the fandom reports tumblr put out about which keywords and tags were most popular. Whenever someone dropped down or moved up it was really "campeao del Mundo" in the mcytblr tags. And the slow decline and us being really really sad when a spot went -15...

DOES anyone else remember the triad. Mcyt reddit, Twitter, and tumblr. How Twitter thought we had a rivals to lovers thing but actually we just hated their guts. There was fanart and everything

When the Twitter refugees came over and the first wave was semi hate and semi welcoming. Everyone came around for the second wave, but the first exodus was 85% hesitant welcome and 15% vitriol and fear.

The discourse about calling them Twitter refugees??? Because refugees are "an actual thing" we couldn't call them that anymore. I just thought it was a little stupid.

Not a specific "event" but more a shift from analysis posts and liveblogs to art and headcanon posting. There was a time in the beginning where everyone theorized about anything and everything. As the dsmp aged and mcytblr grew it became so much more isolated, I still don't understand why people stopped using liveblog tags. Bring them back!!!!! Aurghh!!!!!!

When mcytblr (like nine people out of it) started going after some dude? I forget. But there was a harassment campaign, and death threats allegedly and some big blogs made a whole deal out of it and started saying how mcytblr was no different or better than mcytwt and I don't remember if it was justified or stupid. It was for sure after the first Twitter migration and possibly after the second.

Mcytblr crafting stuff. Such an awesome group of people. I think there's an archive for mcytblr crafts, btw, it's @mcytcrafts

Just about everything I remember, besides the discourse about tommy/others getting rid of the dsmp monuments or builds that had been there a really long time like the Wal-Mart and it being really heated for a while. By the time jack and tubbo started planting potatoes everyone was cool about the whole thing.

@mcytblr-archive

I don't want to write anymore :( I think like two of these are kind of my-circle specific but I'm unsure so I included them anyway. Hope it's useful!

Edit; Tapeworm post.

are we gonna address the fact wilbur has lore written for everyone in the origins smp or we're just gonna ignore it

[starlitt]

thinking about c!fundy walking around las nevadas with yogurt running by his side. smiles and laughter coming from both of them until fundy freezes in his spot just as they walk along the border because on the other side, is the figure of a familiar man who he used to call dad.

fundy never wanted to tell wilbur he had a son. since the day phil told him that he was back, he promised himself he wouldn’t but here he was, standing just a mere few feet away from him. fundy didn’t know what to do. a part of him wanted to take yogurt and run back home, to las nevadas, because that was his home now. but the other part wanted to run to him, to wilbur, to his father.

in the midst of his silence, yogurt spoke up, breaking him out to his trance like state.

“dad?” the young boy asked, quite loudly as well. loud enough for not only fundy but wilbur to hear on the other side of the border.

“dad?” wilbur repeated in shock but just as he looked towards his son, fundy was already scooping yogurt into his arms and walking the opposite way. “dad..”

conflicted feelings and thoughts filled wilburs mind as he stood there, unable to do anything but repeat that one word the snow fox said because yet again, what could he do? fundy, his son, left without even sparing him a second glance and his grandson didn’t even know who wilbur was so what was there that he could do but watch from afar and hope, pray that he’s be able to meet him one day. to be able to look the young fox in the eye with a smile and be apart of that happy little family his son managed to find.

this is all over the place i’m sorry wjvsskbsisja

I was talking to some friends about which Wilbur Soot songs were our favorite and least favorite and I was very curious as to what other people thought. If you have time and like his music, I'd appreciate if you filled this out! I'll compile the results in another post in a few days and show my findings :)
