#loop smp recap

[screamsofanoutlawbrain]

I read the loop smp google doc,,,, I know understand what's going on.. It was around mid 11 pm when I started reading and know it's 4 am..

Thank you Rainbott, I genuinely mean this, it was a very pleasant lore recap.

Dhh! Tag jumpscare from @emberdragon34! It is very welcome :)

Last song: The First Nowell performed by the Choir of King's College Cambridge.

Favourite colour: I like any midnight colours - blues and purples; evergreen is also one of my favourites! Nothing can beat midnight purple, though.

Last book: the last BOOK book I read was Does Jesus know us? Do we know him? by Hans Urs von Balthasar at the end of last semester. I feel so cringe; sorry chat.

Last movie: Le Comte de Monte Cristo (2024)

Last show: I don't really watch shows... Hermitcraft Recap, I guess.

Relationship status: straight and in a new relationship :)

Sweet/spicy/savoury: put all three in a flavour bomb and let me have it (but mostly spicy and savoury tbh).

Current obsession: okay so there's this homeless green teletubby, but what if I give him a home that happens to be drowning in lava. What then. What then, chat. *looks at the camera dramatically* I need him to bleed and cry, and I need to hug him as he's trapped in a painful loop where the attachments he claims to have lost gnaw at his bones and tear him apart. I need him to scream for his adoptive mother, beg for his brother (in all but blood) to change his heart, plead with his only friend (who wants to help him become a better person; who definitely does not enjoy the way the blood rolls with each blow), and sob for forgiveness for actions he deemed necessary, but were ultimately what drove the server to what it is. Chat, I need- *is hit over the head with metal_pipe.mp3*

Oh, also Hermitcraft, the Life SMPs, my friends <3, and school. I'm obsessed with those, too :)

Looking forward to: writing those damn oneshots, Christmas! And a convention at the beginning of the New Year!

Tagging: @violet--the--dragon, @crazybooklover0

Have fun friends <3

Tagged by @ravenspiritlin thanks for tagging me! :D

Last song: Tenth Level Lockdown - Undertale Yellow. Covered by Man on the Internet

Favorite color: Light blue or purple. Periwinkle is a favorite!

Last book: The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner.

Last movie: How to train your Dragon

Last show: Jentry Chau vs the Underworld - Netflix

Relationship status: Single and happy about it!

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Savory

Current obsession: Undertale/Undertale Yellow/Deltarune

Looking forward to: The release of Deltarune chapters 3 and 4!

does everybody want joel for his seed ????????? is that what's happening 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[hiveswap]

How do you get into mcyt?? I’ve tried a couple times and I can’t really figure out where everyone’s finding lore? Any tips?

Oh hi. i dont even know where to begin, i've been really out of the loop. But i have recommendations. This is going to be long

DreamSMP

Well, the dsmp has gone to shit for many reasons.

But if you do get into dsmp, blueberrytv on youtube is your best friend, they cut streams down to more digestible episodes so you can follow the story along. Yes it's long. Dear god it's long. Also @relaxxattack has a carrd that updated until fairly recently, i also recommended it many times.

The story was (i never thought i'd have to speak in past tense about it, the fucker seemed to drag through for decades in just 2 years) told through livestreams, quite a few of are lost forever because twitch deletes vods after 2 weeks and no one bothered to back them up. Also ignore everything after the disc war finale except quackity (and tales of the smp)

You can test the waters by watching Wilbur's L'manburg war video to see if you like the vibes. I usually recommend this, though it's not the earliest point in the story. (that would be tommy's disc war, which is also VERY important, but people tend to find him annoying at first, esp. 2020 tommy like jesus christ he was a different beast. Definietly watch it after the L'manburg independence, things will click.)

Sad-ist's animatics are classics that helped shape the story as it was being written. Watch them as you progress through.

Hermitcraft + Adjacent*

*as far as fandom/content creator overlap goes

1. Hermitcraft is more gameplay heavy. If you don't enjoy minecraft you're not gonna like it, but it's pretty straight forward. You find a youtuber and follow their series on youtube. People usually recommend Grian, GoodTimesWithScar, and Mumbo for beginners, (they are the most popular ones) and then you can branch out from there. Hermitcraft recap is a godsent if you want to know what's going on everywhere.

I personally loved season 8, it's also the shortest and the most lore-heavy. Really gives you a taste of what the series is like at its best.

2. The life series! (Third life, Last Life, Double life, Limited Life) again, find any participant want, then branch out if you want to. Lore is easy to find here, people were under pressure to make up stuff quickly because the series is short, and the result is funny, creative, and so so tragic.

3. People watch EvoSMP for grian, pearl and martyn lore but it really doesn't matter to anything that's going on right now. It's a good series, but Watcher (basically evil angel Grian) headcanons are far detached from it nowdays despite originating from it.

4. Yandere highschool! Do not watch Yandere highschool. No detail is worth it. Use adblock if you force yourself through it, no money for the creator he's an asshat and the other members apparently no longer talk to him.

QSMP

Since the last post, Quackity started the QSMP, in which spanish and english speaking youtubers play on the same server. It has roleplay but it's looser and less grimdark than the dsmp thankfully. They are on an island and they adopted little eggs that walk around and act all cute. It's streamed on twitch. Pick a person and look up their vods, if you're interested. Slimecicle is recommended to start with, and some spanish creators use english subtitles/translation mods. There aren't comprehensive sources to find every vod/video yet, since the server isn't that old.

EmpiresSMP

Start from participants' youtube channels, can't tall you more. I never got into it, not my thing. However, a lot of people left guides in the notes!

- The first part of the VOD is muted. Karl appears to be walking around a large colosseum type area

- He mets Porkius VII, leader of the Subbin Empire

- Porkius tells Karl he needs a new general to lead his armies, and is hosting games to choose a candidate. Karl will be the cameraman

- He tells Karl to interview the gladiators for the fight

- They head down to the cellar and first encounter Jackie, who was pulled from off the streets

- Next is Laggius Maximus

- The first trial is a tower in the middle of the arena that then descends into a floor of lava. Jackie wins and doesn’t burn in the lava.

- They head back down to the cellars and meet Bartholomew, who drinks mead, and Watson, an expert marksman

- For the second trial, Porkius activates the low gravity fields, and Bartholomew and Watson fight. Bartholomew wins.

- Next, they meet Levi, who had to fight his brothers and sisters growing up, and John, whose name is too boring

- Instead, they get Genevieve, who aspires to be the Subbin Empire’s first female general

- In the third trial, Genevieve and Levi enter the water loop for combat. Genevieve wins

- They next meet Ran and Edward. 

- John wants to become general because he’s bored. He gets renamed to Ugly and is chosen to fight Edward in a trial of water and archery. Ugly wins.

- Karl chats with the gladiators for a bit. 

- Ran doesn’t give many details about his history and says that, win or lose, this place is going down.

- The next trial is the waterdome! Genevieve loses to Jackie.

- Then a hoard of zombies as Ugly, Bartholomew and Ran fight in the air. Ran slays Bartholomew. Ugly shoots down Ran.

- Jackie wins the next duel against Ugly, but he must complete one final task before he can go to war. Jackie fights the whole group and wins.

- Karl gets Jackie to kill him.

TW: Derealization (and flashing imagery if you plan to watch the VOD)

- Karl returns to the Inbetween, where a book from :] welcomes him back and tells him not to stray from the path again.

- A book under the tree tells him a surprise is waiting up the ladder. There’s a chamber full of blood splatters and a :] face telling him to stick to the path.

- He returns to the surface and :] tells him his mind seems to be playing a trick on him.

- A book in the room Karl first came to the Inbetween in tells him not to be silly and to not trust the illusions, that they are a result of his mind deteriorating

- An all-caps book tells him to get the portal, but a glitch effect sends him back to the starting room, where a book tells him that the writer knows best for Karl, to not let these illusions dictate his view of the Inbetween.

- Karl goes through the halls and sees the other Karls running around. There’s a glitch effect that changes the lighting. At the birch tree is a book telling him that these other Karls have stayed in the Inbetween too long and lost themselves, doomed to wander forever. He has to go to the portal.

- A glitch effect sends him to a dark room, where the book tells him not to go to the portal, telling him “We” will come and make sure he doesn’t

- Text pops up on the screen

“Follow the torches”

- Karl starts running along a path of torches

“It can’t follow you through the portal” “You’ll be home soon” “Keep going!” “Hurry!” “For your friends”

[There’s some writing in Standard Galactic that flashes]

“Protect your stories”

- Karl makes it to the portal. A book from :] tells him he might not ever remember his friends if he goes in, that the Inbetween is better.

- Karl runs though the portal and comes out on the Other Side, a new castle, wearing black clothes.

- A book welcomes him home.

---

- Ranboo does a chill stream and talks to Tubbo, Karl, Foolish and Dream 

- They talk about all sorts of stuff, but late into the stream, they discuss a lot about the lore process especially! Here are a few details

- Dream talks about how he wants to do an edited Dream lore video at some point

- The first Dream-Ranboo Panic Room stream was improv-ed on the fly with Ranboo messaging Dream to join his stream and giving him basic instructions to follow

- Dream talks about how the lore at this point is in a building/character progression stage. Eventually, all these different plot lines will start colliding. Right now, everything is still building up as everyone works on their plots. There will be a point eventually that triggers a cascade of other events, and what exactly that trigger point is may be unexpected...

- A lot of the lore is improv or very quickly-planned, so plans are flexible and can change depending on how plot points go, with other things planned long-term

- There are a lot of red herrings! Things set up in lore where predictions and theories can use details to point to a theory that seems like it has to be this specific thing, those same details could also point to something else...

- Dream made a huge effort to stare at Ranboo a ton during the Finale, and Ranboo stared back on purpose

- Dream was watching Ranboo’s stream and noticed that Ranboo was picking up blocks as a character thing and thought it was really cool, so he coded it so that Ranboo could pick up grass blocks (but he messaged Ranboo to be responsible with it after the spawner thing)

- They talk a bit about DreamXD becoming a thing, and Dream talks about how he logged on as DreamXD the first time for a short cameo during the Dreamon Hunter bit to be the demon

- They continue chatting for a bit more about the lore process

Upcoming events remain the same.
