cielitremendi - They only have three videos so far, but this is the most comprehensive recap you can get of the QSMP. It focuses more on the lore/story/roleplay aspect of things, especially in the second and third vids. A good starting point to get context for other moments in the server.

Mayshay - Focuses on both lore and more casual moments. On the lore side, while they do upload vids on important lore beats/moments, they also make vids on the smaller (but still lore-relevant) moments. Gives you a good feel of the characters, and therefore, the streamers.

beepoobeep - Wholly on the casual moments. Good editing + translations in the CCs.

their main conflict is their secret, which has something to do with their identity (mizuki being transfemme, himeru,.... man its just id fraud)

and despite the fear of their secret being found out, they still hang out with their respective groups anyway. something something wanting to connect without having connections (ALTHOUGH mizuki is better off at that front)

^^ the parallels between the ending of mizuki's fs story and ariadne still fuck me up btw... mizuki returning to the "real world" even tho the fragment sekai gives them a world where they can love what they love and be themselves without being judged because niigo is there for them / himeru, who is trying to keep up this perfect flawless image for kaname while also initially trying to disconnnect from crazy:b really went "let me get along with them for a little longer" / "where 'i' can be 'myself'" DO YOU FUCKING SEE IT

their sibling being a major motivation in who they are today, be it for better (mizuki and their older sister) or worse (himeru and kaname)

IM NOT SAYING ITS DIRECTLY KANAME'S FAULT FOR THE HIMERU SHIT BTW BUT. HIMERU WOULDNT GO HIMERU IF HE DIDNT LOVE KANAME YK YK....
