#and i’m tired

[the-crimson]

I have so many thoughts on the vote today because there are so many layers. All talk about the characters not the creators obviously :D

First off, I’m wanna say that Forever is literally doing his best XD he is trying to give the islanders say in the mods/rules etc and wanted this to be a silly test run just to wet everyone’s feet with the concept. There is no way he could have prepared or predicted how it would turn out.

Now, from Bad’s pov, it is very important that he started criticizing the way the vote was set up before people started voting. The only reason he got so angry is because no one was taking him seriously and so many people chose to punish him specifically for something harmless ie stealing furniture instead of removing an item that is a danger to the eggs and is 10x more destructive towards peoples builds. Yea replacing furniture is annoying but not nearly as annoying as having to replace roads constantly or rebuilding parts of ur base. The school was literally just destroyed due to mines and yet everyone is complaining about their furniture.

Then, on top of all these people - who Bad has given items to without question and dropped everything for to help in the past - dog piling on him, Roier gets to vote three times. This is what pushed Bad over the edge because at that point, this wasn’t a democracy anymore. Roier was literally rigging the votes in his favor.

The reason Forever’s current system is flawed is because you give the voters 5 options to give them the illusion of choice but if all the options are bad and they can’t choose to vote for these things to not happen, then they don’t actually have a choice. They are being complicit in their own oppression. Bad’s example was extreme but it gets the point across.

Does Bad blow up Cellbit’s base or Forever’s base? He’s giving you a choice so it’s democratic. It’s an extreme example but this is a method of slowly poisoning the people so they are complicit. If you give them four options that are obviously bad so everyone votes for the fifth then that wasn’t democracy. That was the illusion of choice.

That is a terrible system! I trust forever not to abuse it but Forever is a puppet for the federation! Do you know how easily they could manipulate this voting system? Very. Very easily.

So, going into Bad and Forever’s conversation, Bad was already flabbergasted at how bad this voting system was in addition to blatant voter fraud and the pain of a bunch of his friends betraying him. Bad is a powder keg ready to explode.

Forever comes over and they try to talk it out at first but it quickly becomes evident that neither of them are listening. Forever thinks Bad is upset because of the furniture thing and that’s why he’s against the voting system but that’s not the case! These two have completely different methods of approaching a council/democratic system and neither is willing to listen. Once Forever brought up meta reasons for shooting down Bad’s ideas, the conversation was effectively over.

And what I think people forget is that Bad has been an anarchist since day one. The only reason he ran for President was so he could dismantle the office aka so there wouldn’t be a President. He is willing to work with forever to try and make it work but Bad is constantly fighting his desire to dismantle it entirely - and that has nothing to do with Forever.

I see a lot of people taking it personally and acting like Bad has a grudge against Forever but that isn’t the case. He doesn’t want a president. The fact Bad hasn’t demolished the fed presidential office is a testament to his and Forever’s relationship. Bad knows and is trusting Forever that he is doing his genuine best for the people… the problem is is that Forever is a federation puppet whether he likes it or not.

The QSMP made the no stealing furniture law an actual law against Forever’s wishes and behind his back. My guess is they wanted to drive a wedge between Forever and Bad, a known anarchist and #1 federation hater. That’s why they made it law even though Forever thinks it’s still a joke.

Bad was the only one taking this vote seriously and actually thinking about the consequences because - on one hand - he was literally the only person who would be directly negatively impacted by this vote - and on the other hand - he wants what is best for the island as well and he immediately saw how this voting system could very easily be turned into a method of oppression by the federation. Unfortunately, no one else approached it with the same level of seriousness and when Forever talked with Bad, Forever was primed to assume Bad’s grievances were because he was being punished. They were set up to fail and the feds took advantage of that by making the law a Law.

Tomorrow(or whenever they meet next), after they both have time to cool off and gather their thoughts, they might be able to talk it out. This is communication smp after all. But there is no right answer here. This is politics and in politics, you will never make everyone happy.

People in the fandom are always gonna hate but if both Forever and Bad decide to go on opposed villain arcs, I will be sitting on the side lines munching popcorn and having a blast. They both deserve to go ape shit and I, for one, am looking forwards to the drama ;D

Just stay off Twitter maybe cuz everyone over there is insane…

Oh my god, I just realised something. And like it’s nothing really but it’s 4.30am so I’m allowed to say this without it being held against me.

Trent stopped the door with his foot in Amsterdam as he was following Colin and then they had that heart to heart.

Then Trent stopped the door from closing with his hand to run after Ted to excitedly tell him that Total Football/The Lasso Way is going to work.

In this episode the door between Trent and Ted is wide open but Colin shuts it to talk about his problem with Isaac, fair enough. But then he opens it again and Ted is immediately brought back “into” the room where Trent is. It’s also interesting that the focus shifts slowly from Ted to Trent when Colin opens the door again. They didn’t have to do that, before they cut to Colin opening the door there is a close up on Trent, they could have stayed on him. But they chose to cut to Colin who then swiftly leaves the room, leaving Ted in focus. Not just visually but also by having his voice fill both rooms.

Is this nothing? Yes. Will I think about that scene a lot until the next episode? Also yes.

✨ you are not immune to antisemitic bias ✨

✨ just saying you ‘condemn antisemitism’ does not preclude you from holding antisemitic bias ✨

✨ take the time to educate yourself on common antisemitic tropes and dog whistles so you do not perpetuate them ✨

✨ listen to jewish people when we point out antisemitism ✨

As someone who’s Trinidadian (Indian and African technically) I’ve dealt with racism (specifically with my more Indian side) my whole life.

Recently there’s been this trend I’ve seen on TikTok

this is just one of the videos I’ve seen, but basically they’re all sterotyping us to all be pedophiles or weirdos..

A stereotype I’ve been dealing with my whole life, since 6th grade, and still deal with to this day.

But whenever I say something I’m sensitive and uncool I guess..

And the Indian people who are hyping these trends up are part of the problem..

I’m tired of it honestly, and it breaks my heart honestly to see everyone participate in shit like this, even my friends

Just wanted to say something
