I can't wait for my sister to finish her crochet version of her ute so that I can use the photo to try to bait the Tumblr that identifies cars in posts
Quackity: Lately, I have been participating in events and projects, and unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community.
[...] In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I’ve done.
Here's Quackity's commentary on respect and his reasoning for distancing himself and his projects from future events and awards shows.

Quackity: Before I leave, I would like to talk about something that is very serious for me and something that I would like to tell you about. Because for me it is a very serious topic and it is a topic that- well, I had my mind on and I want to express it- [reading Chat] yes, thank you. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.
Anyways, lately I have been participating in events and projects, and in these events and projects, unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community, and this is what I want to say: I'm NOT ok with these types of dynamics or stuff like this, and I want to make it very clear to my stream, my community, and everyone that, for this exact reason that I just mentioned, I want to make it clear that I want to distance myself and any of my projects from the Esland Awards, which you all know is coming up.
Sadly, the Esland Awards have been an event with a history of much controversy, a lot of division, and a lot of divisions within the community, and as you guys know, as you know, my content has never been characterized by seeking controversy or divisions or anything like that. It's for this exact reason that I don't want to be involved with these awards.
In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. I don't want it to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I've done. That's what I want to make very clear here.
That's about it. I'm going to continue with the projects I'm doing and I want to thank my community so much for the support and love. I appreciate it very much, but I wanted to make this clear - I wanted to make this clear. This is just a topic I wanted to address quickly.
Thank you for all the love and support, I love you all so much.
hot take but jacob anderson's performance during the confession box scene in the first episode of iwtv ALONE is like. the biggest emmy snub of all time
I was scrolling through Tumblr as I tried to slog my way through the streamer awards pre show, when one post seemed to catch my eye. It was a post by @zerosalt, a well known qsmp blogger in the popular international roleplay SMP fandom. This poster decided to create somewhat of a stream chat room, a place where those in the qsmpblr community could go and watch the streamer awards, just with the simple rules of being nice.
I decided to take my chances and enter the chat room, where I gave myself a name and I was in. On Twitch, I tend not to type in chat, because I would have to pay to sub if I wanted to type something. This chat room (which I sadly cannot remember the host site of) let me freely use the chat function without having to pay a single cent. I saw people posting werewolf and sonic memes into the chat bar, along with saying “hello” and “hola” to one another (it is an international fandom after all).
As the streamer awards started, I could have never been more happy to be a part of this watch party. The people in this chat room made this whole awards event so enjoyable. From cheering whenever a qsmp streamer won an award or even was just mentioned or spotted, to people crying in agony whenever we all got hit with the unwanted ad breaks, where we would then thank @pixiecaps (another qsmp blogger) for clipping what we missed.
Qsmpblr has been having a rough time lately, such as the recent events that transpired with the hate on Brazilian qsmp fans, to qsmpblr getting recent bad rep, making us look bad. I believe that even though it’s not perfect, qsmpblr is a wonderful place with wonderful people, and as I sadly had to leave the watch party early, typing my goodbye and seeing people say goodbye in response, I feel as though I could never be more grateful to the people that I have met, even if it has been very brief.
Thank you zerosalt, and thank you to everyone who was a part of this experience, it was very fun.
