gordonplayer takes the team to walmart

I got confused on which one I wanted to do and just did both :,)

F2U // no credit needed

More under the cut!

This is my first post ever, please tell me if there are any mistakes as english isn't my fist language :)

It’s been a few weeks since this new specimen had been added to the rehab facility.

He was huge! Way bigger than any other mermen they had in the facility, which was to be expected as he was the only orca mer they had swimming around in their tanks. Poor guy had been found washed ashore with long wounds, a broken arm and a few broken ribs. Whatever happened to him was bigger. Maybe a boat? Or some fishermen who had some fun torturing him.

Well whatever it was is long gone now. 

The poor sucker had been lovingly called ‘Ghost’ by the facility, well by his rehab worker John ‘Soap’ Mactavish. Who in Ghost’s humble opinion is absolutely annoying, kept talking at him (He will probably never get an answer so why try?). Ghost also never actually showed himself, aside from taking a breather every 15 minutes and the merman clearly didn’t enjoy having to swim up to the surface to breathe, to be seen by everyone, he hated all of it.

The stares made him feel exposed and naked. They stared at him. At his scars. They should fear him! Run away in terror! But they all stay.. they all stare. He hated the feeling. His body. Ugly and scarred, a hideous display of fights and weakness. As a little pup he’s always admired the scars of his elders, always wanted to have as many as them. But seeing the stares, feeling the sharp judgement? He hated it. He wanted to crawl out of his skin, unscarred and smooth.

Well one person could stare. That of all people was Soap. The annoying human that simply wouldn’t leave him alone! Those bright blue eyes. That… That stupid smile of his! Ghost wanted to smash it into the stones placed in his tank to mimic the ocean, but of course he wouldn’t. Humans had proved to be emotionless assholes when it came to their own. Goodness, Ghost didn’t even eat that fucker that hit him with their stupid fake fins, he was just curious!

Well now he was here. In this stupid tank, with these stupid bandages and that stupid human staring at him in awe! He should’ve teared that stupid expression off of his face when he had the chance, but he didn’t and now he had to live with the stares, with that fucking smile that made his chest feel a bit tighter than normal, which took his breath away even when he had his head over the gentle embrace of the water.

"Good lad"

He’d say whenever Ghost let him touch his hurting arm without much struggle.

"You deserve a treat, no?" He’d ask before dumping some living fish into his tank after Ghost had let them prick him with those shiny things, they did hurt, but seeing Johnny look at him with a hurt expression was worse.

Wait.. Johnny? Ghost didn’t know it himself, but after a while he’d refer to John ‘Soap’ as Johnny. Probably because that nickname was ridiculous. 

Yea that must be it..

if you saw the wip no you didn't

The ex-admin for Dansir, Lapin, and Sk8ter (a penguin) came out on Twitter with their experience as a QSMP admin and it’s very grim. The user is @/Leasagne_ on Twitter.

I’m gonna try my best to translate from French :

1st Tweet : « Imagine having the first multilingual minecraft server in the world and paying your staff 150€/month and threatening to sue them if they complain. »

2nd Tweet: «  «You signed an NDA blablabla if you speak we’ll sue you. » Yeah Yeah, sure. They think they can gift me a toy and i’ll forgive them and shut my mouth. They don’t know who they are facing »

3rt Tweet : Talking about the NPC they played « Dansir, Tototte, my version of Cucurucho and Lapin won’t come back. Enough of treating people who give a lot of themselves like trash »

They then tweeted art they made for QSMP that they haven’t been paid for. This include for exemple a Rose drawing, a Lucy drawing and the Techno fanart from Dia de los muertos event.

4th tweet : « Everyone is burnt out in their entreprise but it’s not a problem bc no one can talk or they risk getting sued. »

They then make a serie of tweets explaining why they got fired : « During a stream, Aypierre leaked my name, thanks dude, they saw that i was talking to him on discord, which is a FORBIDDEN THING. I was then accused of leaking things to him, bc on the screenshot, i was talking about DDOSon the server which is considered sensitive information. There was then an investigation on me, which i said was useless as I didn’t have anything to hide and was ready to answer all their questions. I admitted not following the rules (btw it’s forbidden to have chatrooms BETWEEN ADMINS, that’s why I wasn’t following the rules). We aren’t allowed to talk to streamers out of stream, but everyone does it i was just caught doing it. »

They also added some more stuff

-Saying that they were only TWO french admins (the other being Pomme’s) and OP had to do all the translations of QSMP newspapers, as well as adding articles on french CCs as they had been forgotten.

-Said that Empanada wasn’t supposed to be killed that day, it was an accident.

-Said that Pomme’s death, which was reversed, was forced so that « Baghera would have a tragic reaction »

-Said that the QSMP admin staff are all wonderful people with good dynamics, higher ups are the problem.

-Said that they believe Quackity isn’t aware that this is happening.

-Said that now QSMP ccs are aware that this is happening and want to discuss it with the admins.

I’m on my phone so it’s hard to include screenshots or links of everything so if you’re able to feel free to do it by reblog. I’ll add more things as soon as possible.

« Just know that NO twitter admins is getting paid. And if you think we’re only writing tweets that isn’t true. We do the work of a community manager for free, for people who have zero recognition for our labor. 

We have to find memes, know how to do picture and video montage, translate, cover streamers until sometimes crazy hours, collect clips who can sometimes not even be selected, so graphic design, collect fanarts and more.

Sure, we agreed to work for free. But to write tweets, not to work as community managers. We agreed to be volonteers, not salarymen. If we aren’t free for more than a week, they make us understand that it shouldn’t happen again.

What pisses me the most is that QSMP is supposed to be a server based on sharing cultures and dialogue. But we can’t talk between us admins. I wanted to make a MC server just for the admin team, and they made me understand that it wasn’t possible. 

We can talk between french speakers but not with the other teams. It’s forbidden to create a group chat. They never communicate with us. You want to know ? The events, we learnt about them at the same time that you did.

It’s impossible to organise. Purgatory ? We knew about it 2 hours before it started, and they had changed ALL the tweets schedules. I recently left because they asked us not to talk about controversies on our PRIVATE accounts, a few hours after Wilbur’s empty excuses.

After all the work we did for you, hours working for you for free, you want us to shut up about the violences, really ? You make me wanna puke. »

They then added this screnshot which i assume was sent to them by the admin teams higher ups about the wilbur situation.

That content tho, right?

I come to the main tag with bad but important news.

Today, an ex-admin of the server came forward about her working conditions.

I will not show her name here just in case (but it can be very easy to find over on TWT).

She was fired for speaking with a CC personally (which she mentions, EVERYONE DOES, we've seen multiple CC talk about it). However, her discord was shown on stream and her superiors were not happy.

She was one of the French admins along with Pomme (she played Dansir, Tototte, Lapin...).

First of all :

There were only 2 French admins (her and Pomme). They had to translate everything and make stuff on the French side.

She was paid roughly 200$ a month (less in €, around 150€), and was often not paid for some in game art she did.

She mentions that admins did not have the right to share a group to talk to eachother, they got warned about things last minute (the update account people knew about Purgas on the day of).

She talks about some of the circumstances of some egg deaths (Pomme reversed death was planned at first for "content")...

Furthermore, the "roleplayers" and the update account people are not payed and get replaced if they are not available too often.

And Yes, by "roleplayers", she means the egg admins. She mentions "You did not get paid for roleplaying", (so I guess egg admins have extra work on the side to indeed get paid, but this is my speculation).

HOWEVER

I want to point out that in her words : "The QSMP admins are the sweetest people, I love working with them. Sad that the work of a few people higher on the team was affecting our good dynamics. My colleagues are amazing, they do a crazy job".

She answered a few tweets for clarification and :

-She believes Quackity is not aware of the attitude of the higher ups of his team.

- The CCs have now been informed of the situation and are actively wanting to discuss with the team, as they were unaware (Ex-admin mentions that the Higher ups often lied or hid things from CCs).

I will link the post of someone who did translate the Tweets HERE (Thank you OP !)

Anyways, Big love to the admins, they make this server and deserve to get they work well compensated !!!
