dsmp is still SO insane to me. still not completely convinced it wasn't a social experiment. it is something that can never be replicated again due to the really specific circumstances that attributed to it's creation and popularity

#the combination of everyone being inside due to the pandemic #the community giving everyone a space to connect #in a time where loneliness and mental health was reaching an all time high especially among youth #like idk. even after everything and a handful of ccs being revealed to be horrible shitbags #the dsmp will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.#a story told in a medium no one has really explored before #the unique fantasy setting......the three life system allowing for more high stakes moments since there a character #could die multiple times to raise stakes #the emphasis placed on familial and platonic dynamics and how THEY can be just as complex and entertaining to watch/read abt like /r ships #the fandom revolutionizing gen fics and making a familial relationship reach the TOP OF AO3 STATS ONE YEAR???? insanity.#also just the ppl.#the amount of talented musicians and artists and writers and editors and all the ppl who lovingly transcripted and compiled lore streams #LIKE UGH.#im so emo about it #unfiltered queer representation bcuz #the story wasnt washed down by a corporation as it was given directly from the storytellers to the audience #the multiple povs allowing ppl to experience the same story in completely different ways #excellent depictions of the effects of mental illness/ptsd and 'imperfect' abuse survivors #ctommy my beloved #LIKE SIGH. WE ARE NEVER GETTING THAT AGAIN IN A FANDOM SPACE I FEAR #ok lol. ignore my rantings #dsmp #dream smp #starry text
