sam being the one to write “sam is responsible” in ranboo’s memory book is so heartbreaking and so sweet at the same time because its such a clear gesture of protection, of “please, please don’t blame yourself” but it is also so indicative of sam’s anger at himself because he could have just as easily written “no one is responsible” or “dream is responsible” - he isn’t telling ranboo it’s his fault just to make him feel better, which makes it that much more painful because you realize he actually believes it

man. sam nook telling tommy to go destroy the egg and that he’s a hero is kind of the saddest fuckin thing. sam nook has been an escape from all of the doomsday deadly traumatizing plot shit and then hes the one to drag tommy kicking and screaming back into lore? and the way it’s just presented as, like, of course you’re going to destroy the egg, tommy! you’re the hero! is so... sad. because he shouldnt have to be a hero anymore. he’s just a kid

i think wilbur’s revival tells a really interesting story about depression and suicide, because his total joy and wonder at being alive and being able to experience life is undeniable. he says it verbatim: i thought i wanted to die, but i’ve seen what hell is... life is a horse and i’m going to ride it. even if he’s fucked up, and even if his revival results in something terrible, he is excited to be alive. he tried dying. it made things worse, and now the sunrise is his. quite literally: life is good

we gotta remember that the prison did not have a neutral or even ‘justice-oriented’ (impossible with prisons btw lol) conception. it was commissioned by dream explicitly for the purpose of confining people in order to hold power over them and the people close to them, similar to how he was planning to keep skeppy in his vault. it was not created to house criminals, it was repurposed to house a criminal.

despite the new culture of consent (eg going over creators’ boundaries regularly) the entire dsmp fandom is still very weird about the cc’s personal relationships. im talking about people being like Defend bad! and getting mad at other ccs when they curse around him or like getting pissed at ccs for making jokes about their friends to... the friends. im reminded of one of techno’s earlier videos where when bad was kicked from mcc and skeppy dropped in support, people were getting mad at him for not dropping too when he had talked to bad and skeppy and they were ok with him staying in like... ccs can talk to each other! they’re adults! they can handle themselves! they dont need an army of teenagers defending them
