18/2 RATS Martyn's stream Recap

So a lot happened today so I need to write this. I really recommend everyone to watch Martyn's stream bc wtf

So for the most part of the stream Martyn was building the stage for the Rats Awards (which will take place on Friday, although he won't be there bc Timmy is visiting) until the last 20 minutes or so. "Building stream" he said "Just chilling" he said.

Meanwhile, Apo is looking for the murderer of his giant plush goose wife (who Martyn destroyed at the beginning of the smp for materials). He talks to Eloise, who only tells them who was around that day; however, they then follow her and hear her talking to Martyn, so he suspects him.

Therefore Apo goes talk to Ren (who wasn't streaming, was just building the ship) and tells him about it. Ren accepts to go with him and confront Martyn, and that if he's the murderer the whole situation will be decided by a duel. So they tell Martyn to accompany them to the library, where Apo tells him about the situation and Martyn admits to be the killer but defends himself saying that he didn't know about it being Apo's, that he didn't know Apo that much at that point anyway, that it's only a plushie and that he needed the material to build Ren's desk so it was captain's orders. Ren intervenes and says that they should duel bc that's how stuff is decided in the high seas. However, Martyn doesn't have his knife bc he lended it to Eloise a bit earlier (which makes him think that she is in with the set up) so he easily loses and dies (although honestly, Apo is pretty good at pvp he might have won anyway idk). Which leads to a lore intermission with the bright green screen and a 3 lives -> 2 lives countdown.

When he wakes up he goes retake his stuff and he's pretty pissed off so when he meets Ren in the office he lashes out for just standing there and letting him be killed. Ren tries to justify himself and tells him that he fought well but Martyn is still angry. Atp he is also tired for all their previous issues (with Ren's obsession with sangrías and for not listening to him), tells him that he shouldn't have invited so many people to the crew and that he shouldn't be the captain, and threatens to mutiny. So Ren, in the craziest plot twist of the season, tells him that he doesn't understand the role of a captain and that those rats are necessary bc he will be trading some of them for cargo in a port. And Martyn is so fucking thrown back for that he is like "ooooh. damn. bye bye."

He then briefly confronts Eloise who says he wasn't expecting Apo to go that far but I feel like Martyn is in his Blondbeard 2.0 arc now

So that's the whole thing. The Ren thing is so crazy, not even ccMartyn was expecting that. Also, Martyn always uses the music in his streams so well, it's smth that always wows me. Btw I am writing this just after the stream ended and hadn't had time to check Apo or Eloise's povs yet, so if someone wants to correct me on smth tell me and I will make changes

Edit: apparently Apo listened to the end of the Ren-Martyn conversation and confronted the captain but Ren is like nope and tries to deflect by reminding him that he has killed Martyn and that "justice" has been done. So Apo also knows about the rat trafficking thing. I am not including it in this post bc it's getting looong but Apo also has had their own interesting lore going on about having an identity crisis and why they did what they did, so go watch that as well!

Divorce Papers

It all started out when I learnt that my HaSS teacher was a vegan. And so like the brat I am, I drew a lump of beef on the back of my exam and labelled it ‘It looks like beef, it tastes like beef, but it’s actually DIVORCE PAPERS.’ Yeah no he was not impressed. (Keep in mind I was twelve by the way). But each time he gave me a new piece of work, I would add on to the chain. ‘It looks like beef, it tastes like beef, but it’s actually fish that looks like fish, tastes like fish but is actually DIVORCE PAPERS.’ By this point he was so fed up with me that he assigned all my work digitally. Everyone was writing out their 2000 word report on the local tree population by hand, I was made to type it up. Big mistake on his part. Because instead of drawing divorce papers, I could attach them as a file. I ended up submitting Divorce Papers for my assignment that was worth 40%. Meanwhile, my brother, who also had classes with him had caught onto the joke and started doing the same. For him presentation, he added in each page of the state-official divorce papers as a slide. When pressed, he claimed ‘I don’t know how those got in there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯’. This poor man is getting mad now. So you can imagine his disappointment when he finally gets around to marking my report. (Which in case you forgot, is 57 pages of divorce papers.) This man is furious. For two whole terms, he has had to put up with me and my brother drawing, submitting and presenting divorce papers for every. single. piece. of work. But now, I’ve really done it. I was supposed to have designed a suburb and worked on it for the last 18 weeks. Absolutely enraged, he demands to see my actual report. I hand it over happily. Because inside, there is an unpleasant surprise waiting for him. My suburb is called Treevorce, because everyone who lives in it has to live in a tree house. When they get divorced, which is the law in the suburb, they have to chop down the tree and turn it into divorce papers. All my references and links at the bottom of the page lead to online divorce papers. The phone numbers are for the local divorce court. Rage. Pure rage. I have never seen such a small man radiate such a pure, soaking rage. But trying to be the best teacher he is, instead of directing the well-deserved hatred towards me, he gives me one last chance. He knows that he can’t make it digital. I’ll attach the file. He knows that it can’t be on paper. I’ll just draw them. So he settles for a speech that he will down. More than fine by me. I stand up to present and fire away, having memorized my speech completely. And I watch slowly, as he writes up everything I’m saying, his face twists. Because my speech is actually an acrostic poem. And I want you to take a guess at what it spells out.

Rising tension

Commission for @viriv! <3

[kingtheghast]

Erm you might wanna check Martyn's vod from today for some erm interesting developments in the Treevorce situation (most of it is building, the juicy stuff happens after the 1:24:50 mark and lasts only lie 20 minutes, which is crazy)

This isn’t even a divorce anymore this is a hesitant and shaky agreement on a toxic rat yaoi relationship and it’s gonna be everyone’s problem

#help. one of my treebark fankids is named rory </3 read for filth im afraid

ah yes, rory, the treebark shippers' favourite oc name <3

all of our rorys should meet tbh. children / grandchildren of treevorce ASSEMBLE

So let's say you're obsessed with a certain fan favourite team from 2020 sweeping their way through a game in a tournament. It tickles your brain in all the right ways- the efficiency, the cooperation, the different but equally important roles, the complementary ways they work together like clockwork. So you decide to compile all four povs of them into one video. And you write a nice analysis post. Or fifteen analysis posts. But analyzing canon isn't enough- you need to fictionalise and sensationalise it. Make it bigger and better than it is. Dammit, you need to write fanfiction of it. Two years and 100k words later, you finally get to the scene. You think you'll finally be cured of your brain worms. But no. You decide to brave Reddit and post the original analysis (it shouldn't scare you as much as it should but it does.) Maybe this should've scared it out of you. Maybe you'll shake it off. Unfortunately, no. But what now? It's been three years. It haunts you. You've posted that post everywhere. You've written the fanfiction. You've dramatized it in every way possible- wait. With a deep resigned sigh, you open a doc and start planning your new original fiction-
