IF THIS EGG IS A CHICKEN, YOU'RE A BITCH

it also kills me how something dream should get credit for but never does is the fact that he was a big part in elevating the storytelling on dsmp that skyrocketed it to success as well as really maximizing the narrative potential in manhunt but people would really have rather glazed #that guy for both of these things instead of giving dream his rightful flowers in the first place

you know what people can talk all they like about covid lockdown media and art like bo burnham's inside as truly generational work that couldve only been made during lockdowns and is emblematic of the time period it was created in but truly no one has the guts to say that the real actual insanely influential work that meets this criteria was dsmp and i will fully stand by that forever

not ONLY did it completely redefine what you could do with the medium of minecraft as a narrative story telling device and expand the opportunities for what you can do with minecraft smps, streaming, and long form content, it also brought to mainstream attention the creator-audience struggle for narrative control to the forefront including the term "parasocial" as a popularized term, changed creator-audience intimacy in general and the belief of what creators owe to audiences as well as blurring the lines between real life person and fictional persona, changed the way audiences interact with each other, create new and innovative ways to completely fuck all that shit up, oh and also changed the general landscape of rpf as a side hustle. howww can you not say iconic

i will never tire of this topic sorry the dream smp is so in it's own category of insanity like okay you have the storyline of the smp and you can get that feeling watching early vods that you get with tv shows where seeing the beginning after knowing the end lets you view how innocent and full of heart everyone was at the start and the forlorn ache of knowing where they're headed, but it wasn't just the storyline. it was real life too, and it melds together. it didn't end and then everyone in real life went back to normal, curtains close and the cast laughs with each other and moves on to the next story. it Ended ended. it ended and then so did the real life relationships of the members. sometimes the way the roleplay world parallels this world is so intimate it's uncomfortable. dissecting the dream smp is like parasocial cocaine

Dream in donutsmp's little flood war is so funny. He's there to cause problems but also he loves supporting an underdog
