#where they have literally no relevance. i would also say the same for c!wilbur but i can concede more on that one

i shouldve known honestly like quackity wasnt the king of dsmp lore just to leave his character's story unfinished. the question is what form is this even going to take

[astroninaaa]

Hot take; one of the most poorly written arcs was the eggpire arc since no eggpire controlled characters were developed prior to the arc like BBH and Skeppy so it felt awkward watching the two go through this arc with no prior foundation on the relationship they share. It's not even just that arc too, The Mexican L'manburg was one of the shittest excuses of filler I had to watch. Its weird watching it knowing that it's intended to be taken seriously. And with that...

ngl i didn't watch most of the eggpire arc because most of the people on it stream when it's fucking 3am for me and i didn't watch the mexican l'manburg thing either bc i didn't really watch quackity streams then but i still disagree. i completely disagree.

for one, i don't think the mexican l'manburg arc was made to be taken seriously. it was just a bunch of ccs who are friends joking around. that's like saying wilbur's drug empire arc at the beginning of the smp was shit bc it was too jokey. like,,,,,,, that's the point. it's not serious lore like las nevadas or the exile- it's just people playing in a minecraft server and making up a silly story that was later incorporated into lore, you know? so i don't think it's really fair to judge it like that.

on another note. i truly think the eggpire arc was well-developed. it had months in its making and so much things happened in it before it reached where it is right now. i have only read summaries of it because once again, timezones, but even then. you can see that it's a well-built arc, even if messy (which is also unfair to judge it by since most of the arcs are a little messy. it's because they aren't professionally written these are a bunch of kids on a minecraft server-), it's well developed. am i frustrated by how it apparently finished and with how it suddenly stopped? yes, actually! i am! but prior to the red banquet i believe it was a very, very well done arc. i truly do. i watched only some of the streams and they were all so good. a personal favorite is the one after c!tommy died- that was so fucking good. the absolute terror of watching the eggpire celebrate a child's murder,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that was so good. it really made it sink in to me that they were absolutely fucked up, and that they were nothing like the people they were before being corrupted by the egg. also, the whole premise of the egg promising people what they want most- i like that. i think it's a good motive for people to just go batshit crazy. good storytelling, in my opinion.

on skeppy and bbh: i also think it's unfair to see it like that. we had no prior development of c!clingyduo's relationship and we had no difficulty in seeing them as brothers. same goes for c!crimeboys and even c!techno and c!wilbur and c!emerald duo. a relationship doesn't need to be extensively developed beforehand for the viewers to understand that it's a relevant relationship to the story. is it fun to see relationships get developed? yea. c!beeduo's relationship progression is literally one of my favorites in the entire story. it isn't necessary for every dynamic tho. i think sometimes you have to just get the context clues ("okay, so c!bbh cares deeply about c!skeppy. they live together. alright."), but even more than that, c!skephalo's relationship has a lot of intricacies that showcase how important it is.

c!bbh's soul is tied to c!skeppy's. that's a canon thing, c!bbh can't die while c!skeppy is alive. they have a whole soul connection thing going on, and that has been canon for months before the egg arc even started. it's unfair to say they had no good relationship development prior.

to be fair, however, i have not watched most of the eggpire lore streams, so i could just be wrong. if anyone with more knowledge on it would like to talk about it feel free to!!! ye

send me a hot take!!!
