Wow, it's amazing how I was actually of the opinion that we should trust in big Q, that change don't happen overnight and we shouldn't doompost over, quite literally, nothing (Since we didn't and still have no info from Q Studio) and the //moment// I saw Pomme posted her tweet, I was like "Ooooh, rip qsmp :c"

I never really realized how much I was holding on to the fact that we haven't heard from Pomme so it /must/ mean she's still in the project and progress is being made.

And now because i really like their friendship, i just want a coop between Bad and Aypierre on Stardew Valley XD (Month ago, Aypierre tried to play with other players on different games, maybe, finally...? ) We will see XD

Hello! I've been inactive due to the current events in the mcyt community, but I've been keeping up with the qsmp admin situation and I thought I'd share some opinions because the amount of doomposting I've seen the last few weeks has been more than I've seen in any fandom in a while and I feel like it's reached the point where people really need to chill the fuck out because they're not thinking straight and actively not helping. Everything I'm gonna say is based on stuff I've seen on both tumblr and twitter.

they should not promote/release merch! : one of the things that baffles me the most tbh; how do you expect any employee to be payed then? Merch is so far the only big source of income for the server besides q's own cc salary or whatever income they get through the official qsmp channel on twitch and youtube (which I don't think is a lot). "I get that they said they have no funds, but still it doesn't feel right"... sorry but at this point I don't know what to tell you, do you expect them to pull money out of their asses? You can't demand that they stop making merch and then complain that they can't afford the twitter admins at the same time. If you don't feel comfortable buying anything from them it's fine obviously, but if your reason for it is that you're helping the admins then I have bad news for you. I have seen people propose that quackity sets up a patreon, and while I think it would be a good idea, I understand why he's not doing it, since with the merch he can at least give something back to the people that choose to support his project instead of people just giving him money for free, especially with what's happening now. Also with how much hate he's been receiving simply for the merch I can't imagine that a patreon would be recieved well.

we don't know if the money is going to the admins/ they should not use pomme's likeness! : the money is definitely going to go to the employees and admins because otherwise the server would not last. And as much as I understand people feeling protective over pomme's admin, quackity studios is very much allowed to sell merch of the character because it is not the likeness of the admin, it's a minecraft model made by the people that work there. Would you have rathered they skip her character entirely? Do you really think that would have been okay?. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen posts and tweets saying that pomme's admin has been confirmed to come back with the other eggs whenever it happens by pierre, who talked with her admin.

the admins of the update accounts got fired, it means they want to fire everyone, they aren't making things better! : it sucks that the updates accounts had to end and I feel bad for every twitter admin that clearly cared a lot about the project, but unfortunately it had to happen if there simply isn't enough money to pay them adequately like they deserved and ultimately the update accounts were not essential to keep the project going, so it makes sense that they were let go unfortunately. This is not gonna be the case for the egg admins because if they got fired (which they didn't), the server would basically end. Just because a cc does not know when they will be back does not mean it's not gonna happen. Just because tubbo randomly said that he's not sure if they will be back does not mean they were fired; tubbo is normally not a reliable source of information, even less so when he's been live nonstop for the past 20 days, which is prior to everything happening. If you genuinely didn't expect a reduction in non essential staff considering everything, then you have unreasonable expectations on how this stuff goes. As I write this, I'm seeing people saying that "they would understand this decision if q had set up a patreon to pay the admins", and once again I don't understand how people don't realize why quackity might not be keen on the idea of having his fans pay his own employees for his own project instead of, you know, doing it himself; and, again, do not fool yourself into thinking it would be recieved well. That being said, it's fair to criticize how everything was communicated to the admins, but I'll get to this in more detail later.

quackity should not have uninstalled social media, he's trying to avoid everything! : he's not avoiding anything, he's been off social media for a while now, which is why it took him that long to remove wilbur from the server. He has every right to not want to look at social media, as his focus should be on restructuring his server instead of doomscrolling on twitter because people think he needs to see how much people dislike him. The only people that he should talk to are those that have important information to tell him, like josè with the document. He explicitly said on stream where to contact him if you have helpful information and I'm sure that despite multiple well liked posts saying not to spam his email, people are definitely doing it anyway, which is probably gonna slow the whole thing down even more. I hope josè's document is able to be seen with pierre's help as well.

quackity studios is not communicating with their employees and leaving them in the dark and that's not okay : I agree with this. i think a huge chunk of doomposting lately has been due the lack of communication not with the audience, but with the admins, and they deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes more then us since this is about their current or future job.... that being said, I do kind of understand why they're being so secretive and shutting everyone out, and that's due to all the "leaks" that have been spread online. I understand the anger but I really wish some people would realize that discussing leaked bts lore stuff in ccs discord servers does not help the situation at all and instead makes it seem like they're only doing this to rile up the fandom against quackity studios by using the lore of people's fav characters.

At the end of the day, I think people just aren't used to dealing with a situation that does not have a clear cut solution and someone to clearly hate, so the result is this doomposting and the over aggressiveness toward anything related to the project. Personally, I haven't witnessed anything that made me lose faith in the qsmp like some people have been saying, as every change that we've seen so far coincides with what quackity said on stream a while ago. I only wish things were communicated properly to the admins clearly, as they're the ones most affected, so I hope that's resolved soon. Ultimately quackity is singlehandedly restructuring the server from basically zero, has had to fire people that were misusing money and power and, depending on what josè's document said, is probably gonna have to fire some more. This is not an easy process, nor a quick one, you're not gonna hear about sunshine and rainbows for a while and doomposting about everything you hear because you expected quick change is useless. Think before you speak, have a clear head and most importantly have empathy.

"I think he's not doing good"

Pierre to Pomme, seing that Badboy isn't bargaining with him on everything like he used to

[alionatma]

I don't have an answer but hear me out.

Aypierre is one of the qsmp creator that uses the most his community's creations. Like Faster's remixes or LordFinn's statues or just the photoshopped stuff he uses so often. We could go as far as adding the waystone search bar mod they added in qsmp 2023 or the new games the community is coding with him for the federation with computer craft.

And he talk all the time about the "voices in his head".

So for me we're canon.

But WHAT are we ? So far I've only got maybe AIs ? Like Chat GPT kinda ? That gives me a bit of weird taste with Ayrobot being here and all but since we can't interact with the world maybe it can work ?

Also, technically we're calling him "Patron" (= Boss) so maybe we can do something with this ?

This is a question I'm ask to myself since a little moment. So we know BadBoyHalo's chat are the ghostie, for Philza this is the Crow, for Tubbo the Tubblings (and sometime they have drawn like duck or just minecraft character, I believe), etc... What for Aypierre's chat, what they would could be called and what they would look like ?

[alionatma]

Just saw an animation on twitter and now I have an idea I can't get out of my head.

What if Pierre's mechanical arms aren't controlled by him but by Ayrobot ?

Like, we know he supposedly has some smart glasses with AI stuff on it. But we kinda glossed over it because Pierre's lore is mostly him doing funny stuff and us trying to understand what is serious lore and what is just Pierre being Pierre. But he has them. And he uses them. And nobody blinked an eye at it. And now we know he and Ayrobot are one.

So WHAT IF that AI /IS/ Ayrobot since the beginning ? What if being fused with Pierre made Ayrobot not hate him anymore or something like that and now they live together and Ayrobot just helps him everyday by controlling his mechanical arms.

Omg what if it started by the arms tripping him at the worst times or stealing his shit but once, Ayrobot caught Aypierre when he was falling by reflexe or to "Not die himself". And now Pierre jumps from high up without fear, or spends some time with his daughter, and builds new machines and accept what the arms are doing, and just TRUSTS the arms to not only help him but to not hurt his kid, to care for her, to CREATE new stuff with him.

What if now Ayrobot is the Snarky AI who's trying to help his creator by forcing him away from his machines and to his bed when it's been too long since Pierre last slept. What if he still trips him now and then, but never where it's dangerous. What if he still "misplace" some stuff wherever he goes but now it's just Ayrobot stealing forbidden stuff from the Federation as petty revenge.

I totally went on a tangent here, I had an idea and writing about it made me think about it more and now it's a big post lmao

I'm sure it's supposed to be serious lore but I just can't stop laughing. Aypierre's pov has been hilarious since the beginning.

Bad sent him an urgent message and Pierre was like "wait a minute, I'm replanting your crops" and when he finally arrived, Bad Romance started playing really loud, then it was chaos trying to kill forever IN A NO PVP ZONE then it was going to the federation headquarter and he just beelines to steal the Notch apples, then he goes "Hey Foolish, it's been a long time, you're a Sheriff now ?" and they catch up while Bad is talking seriously to Cucurucho, they then go in Forever's base and he just jokes about "Oh too bad, he's not here, let's go to a Christmas Party" and then Warplate and finding Forever again and Pierre is just taking pictures of Foolish being cool and Cucurucho's butt for Antoine and still NOBODY EXPLAINED ANYTHING TO HIM. It's been absolute chaos, and I've been laughing non stop, you can't imagine

[alionatma]

Tubbo has competition with Aypierre for parental custody of Sunny.

POV: You want to keep your unexpected child when you are 19 years old and barely out of school but the rich aunt wants to steal custody from you to get the allowance.

Jokes aside, I'm happy that Aypierre is there to play the antagonist in the story of: "Tubbo must learn to be a good father to Sunny". It makes the story even more interesting and funny and makes the bond between father and daughter so much stronger <3

[alionatma]

LMAOOOOO

Trying to gather all of Tubbo and Aypierre's beefs with eachother (Feel free to add onto it if I missed something)

- Aypierre and Tubbo fighting for the title of the richest person on the island.

- Both of them judging eachother's approach to using create

- Aypierre resenting and blaming Tubbo a lot for pushing the boundaries of the server too openly and blatantly, which made the admins nerf create and broke every create machine overnight (VS) Tubbo considering Aypierre to be hypocritical because Aypierre too has been pushing the boundaries before and Tubbo feeling like a scapegoat because he's a newcomer

- Aypierre considering it extremely bad manners for Tubbo to construct his factories and dig his enormous hole so close to the common areas (VS) Tubbo promising that the project wasn't JUST a hole and made sure that the admins accepted the project before doing it, he felt like it was far enough from spawn not to be a bother

- Aypierre kidnapping and interrogating Fred because he was the one who wrote the surgery reports describing how Aypierre was tortured and experimented on (VS) Tubbo being very attached to Fred and suspecting that Aypierre did this mostly to get to Tubbo

- In purgatory, Aypierre deciding to ignore the truce Tubbo had with green team on elimination day and trying to rope Bad in. He didn't want to find out what would happen if the teams tied or worse, if green team betrayed them. (VS) Tubbo wanting that tie to happen at all cost and having to bear the burden of green team thinking that he betrayed the truce. Resents Aypierre for what he considers to be a coup d'etat.

- Aypierre learning about Sunny's love for riches and trying to make her like him more than Tubbo just because (VS) Tubbo already feeling like an inadequate father and resenting Aypierre for trying to undermine his efforts

- Aypierre filling the Tubbhole with chickens because he was still baffled that it was allowed and he wanted to get yet another petty revenge against Tubbo. Figured that Tubbo could just drop a few foxes in it to clean it up later (VS) Tubbo who killed the chickens by hand in order for his mob farm to work and swore revenge against Aypierre
