#mcc talk blah blah

[mcytconfession]

Hot take for alot of people, you don't need to know everything about everyone's person life

People, including your favourite mcyts, do indeed talk... OUTSIDE OF TWITTER

And just because they have 1 disagreement in there PERSONAL LIVES does mean they have to bast that person. They can just, not make content together.

People are acting like Wilbur and Shelby started international wars, but Wilbur f-up and had to apologise and we know from previous clips WAY BEFORE he met shelby that he'd done similar things, Niki even mentioned wilbur biting her in come old live streams and clips.

"but shelby didn't blah blah-" Niki knew, Scott Smajor knew, Noxite/Nox crew knew because he wasn't the Mcc presenter for a long time, minx knew, Bilzo knew, geminitay knew, Aimsey clear knew for a long time because you don't have a reaction like that not know furthermore they said they already knew, Ranboo vaguely knew, MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC KNEW BUT WERE SHUT DOWN

Everyone knew apart from the people who weren't as close to Shelby or didn't witness his behaviour. Heck even QT and someone other people highlight Wilbur behaviour at a content creator party DESPITE minx being the one on the chopping block.

People who didn't even know wilbur acknowledged he was weird, and some expressed discomfort. James marriott decided to promotely cut ties with lovejoy because he was uncomfortable with there behaviour, he was crapped but has since recovered.

Some other smaller CC who spoke out didn't recover.

And personally I believe we had no right to know because it's about there PRIVATE LIVES and Wilbur has a fanbase similar to BTS, they see, they attack and they don't ask questions.

Why would wilbur need to apologise for something he didn't do? Because he did do it.

He did do those things, whether people like it or not he did. There are too many people, including non-content creators, who knew about his behaviour, tried to speak out but then were cut off because of it. It took a collective effort of at always 18+ people over the course of 5+ years to get the word out.

It's not shelby's fault that "Wilbur's career is ruined" and it's certainly not her fault that crazy people think it's okay to doxx him.

"but why didn't they go to the police?" that man had a rough estimate of 3 million in his whole time on dsmp, the government for the highest tax bracket would take 50%

Why arrest someone who gives you 1.5 millions?

And then there's a fact of 1 MILLION domestic abuse case were reported by the UK alone in 2023, 24% of those cases weren't reported by the victim hense going "unreported", and only 50k of the 1 MILLION case went to court AND ONLY 5% WERE CONVICTED.

So only 5% of domestic abuse cases go to court.

And only 2500 of those people go to prison.

Only 0.25% of abuse cases, in the UK, ends up with someone being punished.

And out of that 0.25% are they arresting someone who gives them 1.5 million in the last 4 years? No.

As someone who lives in the UK violence is tolerated as long as they'd 1. Wealth. 2. Have lazy police in the area. 3. Are a public figure which can damage tourism. 4. Member of the government/police force. 5. You can convince them that you won't do it again.

People are wild to think it's as straightforward as "bad man go to jail"

They couldn't give a flying-f if Wilbur just up and left because he already gave them alot of money. What's 1 person who pays you 0 taxes because they're not apart of your country to someone who paid you millions?

It's a shitty world but Wilbur will never be charged. Most famous people will never be charged.

Deep breath. Anyone wanna vividly imagine happy, Covid-less irl MCC9 Blue Bats at Twitchcon with me 😌

Like okay, it's the first time the hermits are playing competitively. They've got their practice streams but they have to play live now. They've got their irl Blue Bats shirts. Everyone's hyped. It's kind of an awkward meetup because they're mostly strangers but it's fine. It's cool. The hermits are surprised by how young Fruit is and he just goes :] yeah I recently turned 18 lol. They see Fruit do his parkour with his mouse and his keyboard and their jaws drop because it's just ???? how does he even do it??? we're so old lol.

They're still the underdogs so the casters don't pay much attention to them compared to the other teams. It's 2020 so we're in the Dream-Techno era. Blue Bats are waiting to be called out and everyone's nervous as fuck but they know they have to hold it together for the sake of their teammates. Ren talks about sweating to diffuse the tension. It kind of works. It also kind of doesn't.

The Blue Bats are introduced. The casters have miraculously gained knowledge of the lore and introduce them as the underdogs, making reference to H's infamous "and the entire MCC community sleeps on the Blue Bats" tweet. They mention H's redemption arc after losing Dodgebolt in the previous MCC. They mention Fruit being eager to prove himself. They mention the hermits gunning for the first win. They also mention False and Ren always teaming together because this is an imaginary scenario by me and I always pepper that in

So they walk out to Fort Minor's Remember the Name. "Smile and wave boys (and False!)". They still look a bit awkward but it's cool because Remember the Name makes everything cool. They get less applause overall but there's that subset of the community that followed them from the start and they're screaming the house down. Also a very good portion of Hermitcraft audience faint in their chairs when Ren and False walk out because. Y'know. You understand. 😳 Like if I were there I would've passed out from bisexuality and missed the damn event. Anyway

They're still nervous. Then Ren and H do a bit about Ren doing pushups as a warmup and Ren actually does it irl because his brain is fried with nerves and he just needs to do something. This gets the cameras on them. Someone mentions Hermitgang. Someone asks them to sing it. False politely declines while Ren bravely endures. (He gets so embarrassed by it once the cameras are away.) Basically Ren replies to the cameras for the team when they're around (the man didn't lead that panel discussion for nothing! Also the casters know he's eye candy and he's making everyone go 😳😳😳 lmfbdjksabjkdbalsbdhsabdab). (Twitch Rivals chat: I don't know who that man is but I would like to make his acquaintance 😳.)

Ren has mic problems. This is a constant.

MCC begins and the Bats slay their way in SkB and scream "WE DIDN'T EVEN LOSE A SINGLE PLAYER!!". This goes on as normal. The casters introduced them as the underdogs, but they don't pay much attention to them at first, and only decide to interview them when they start climbing the ranks. Ren and H eagerly speak to the interviewers and thank people for their support while Fruit and False are like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️. The rest of the hermits are cheering in the audience. The casters ask them which game they want the least. All four them in unison: Survival Games.

You'll never guess what happens next. It's Survival Games.

The camera focuses on the Blue Bats as they all go "noooooo :(" and the casters comment on how this may be the end for them. Blah blah blah Grian kills Dream. Unlike what happened in MCCTR, they do not fight it out on stage. It's mostly because no one wants Dream's mask to accidentally fall off (and the hermits are scared of buff Grian's strength on Dream's behalf.) Grian gets the spotlight for a good while until the casters abruptly realise the Blue Bats are dominating, and immediately switch to them.

By now the HC fans are in hysterics and screaming sobbing wailing simping dying laughing and still screaming. Grian's still screaming "THE MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!!!".

Once they win SG, the Bats jump out of the chairs to scream and celebrate and hug each other 🥺 they do this for a significant amount of time, all cameras are on them, they start playing Remember the Name again, Fruit screams "I'M FIRST OVERALL!" and H screams "UNDERDOGS MY ASS LET'S GO!". The casters are going crazy with this development and they start spinning up the story.

The infamous SOT. The Dream iron door situation would be wack to see irl. Something probably happens but we skip past that because it's Dodgebolt time baby!!

Like 70% of the room is cheering for Green and Blue is super nervous but they got this! The casters eagerly narrate False's failed 1v3 and bring back H's Reddit post predicting her in DB. Green has more clout and the casters mention that (they call Sapnap the Messi of MCC, this is still a comparsion they make for whatever reason).

It's a blur, but they encourage each other even when they're two down. Ren talks about sweating and the entire team turns to look at him irl like 🤨⁉️. His rizz is so strange. The Ren simpage is reaching extremely dangerous levels (and it's starting to reach Martyn on Pink).

Anyways they WIN WAHOOO! They jump out of their chairs, embrace each other, high five, yadayada and everyone EXPLODES because the underdogs just won with a reverse sweep, Fruit is first overall by a lot, the hermits just won, the HC fans are dying and thriving, lives have been changed. They get their silly crowns and they make their speeches. The Underdog by Spoon blasts on the speakers. They take so many photos and go and have a meal or whatever people actually do at Twitchcon :) anyways hours later Iskall and Ren approach H and ask him to join Vault Hunters. MCC9 is a canon event in any universe. A couple of them (*cough* Ren *cough*) party it out till 5am in some club. There's a HC panel at the next day and H and Fruit get to meet the hermits :D everyone lives happily ever after and I live in my unserious imagination :))

[cupidlakes]

how did you find mcc sky!! :)

umm well.. umm not gonna lie i felt very overstimulated for a lot of it 😭 but that’s just a me problem! i guess what happens when you put 4 fairly strong personalities together is things get Loud but not necessarily loud in a hilarious-awesome-banter-providing way (personally). i felt like that ss of bbh asking george if he was having fun in chat and george replying “no” for a large part of it

BUT it was still fun to watch, mcc is mcc! maybe not one of my favourite teams to watch ever but it was still alright

more (actually game focussed) rambled thoughts under the cut!

so outside of the entertainment dynamic, team wise i thought it was interesting that we had 4 quite loud personalities but the team itself in the games felt.. leaderless? you could tell wilbur was trying to take up that position but didn’t quite have a grasp on everyone’s skillset (understandable)

like he told george to stick to defending in bb when he was consistently getting the most kills per round, understood that was an important facet and perhaps a more effective means of winning given the new mechanics (e.g there being two capture points) + got the most coins in their team at the end by a fairly large margin iirc? and then during sot wilbur asked who wouldn’t mind going with a 2nd person and it took a while for george to speak up and mention he’s confident going alone when i think someone who even vaguely understood everyone’s strengths and weaknesses in the tournament would just say: Do that

but again i’m not pinning the blame on someone who did try to take them in some sort of direction! it just felt obvious that they weren’t gonna get very far as a team - individually maybe

my takeaway this mcc is that george rly thrives under good leadership, it’s helpful to have someone to both pull him back from impulsive decisions or coax him to go for something and instill some confidence in him! or at least provide the energy necessary for him to kind of feed off

his sot was awesome like, it rly is just fun to watch you can tell it’s one of the games he’s mastered, tb to him saying the clock wasn’t even ticking at the end there - call it blind luck sometimes but he is good at making snap decisions in that game and got first in coins OVERALL i rly do love that for him! <3

but yeah ^_^ all in all an ok mcc! prayge we get to see george in dodgebolt again one day man

[yeosanggf]

mcyt frustration rant lmaooo

i wish i could manage to watch streams :/

The great adventures of y/n tommy tubbo and ranboo - the best mcc team

this is an extra to the great adventures series

the moment you found out ranboo got into mcc you instantly ran into the room you were sharing pulling him into a hug you were honestly so proud of him and he was going to be with tubbo

“BOO I'M SO PROUD OF YOU YOU'RE GOING TO DO AMAZING”

unfortunately, you weren’t going to be in mcc this month but that didn’t stop you from being over the moon for your friend. when it was finally time for mcc you wished your friend good luck and apologised for not being able to watch his pov as you weren’t about to break the tradition of watching Tommy after all he was your first and biggest supporter. 3 hours later the event ended and everyone who was watching ranboos pov heard you faintly screaming at Tommy over discord whilst tubbo sat laughing and ranboo was concerned, he heard from Tommy that you would often yell at him however he didn’t believe that he was being honest

“FUCK YOU TOMMY STOP LAUGHING YOU HIT ME IN TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE ON PURPOSE THEN LAUGHED ABOUT ME NOT BEING IN…..fine when I get in I’m requesting to be on Scott's team…I’m still mad at you but you did great I'm so proud of you congrats Tommy I’ll see you soon goodbye”

at the start of the next month, you received a message from Scott

Scott: so I have a few things to tell you 1 - how would you feel about becoming head twitch mod it’s only fair you’ve been my mod for a while and 2 - welcome to mcc make sure to fill in the form asap!

y/n: 1 - of course I’d love to be head twitch mod and 2 - heh??

not long later you received a form at the same time as your friends, you decided not to tell anyone and somehow you managed to keep it a secret, Scott agreed to lie to the others about whos team they’re on as he knew how excited everyone was going to be. today was the day your big secret would be released, you Tommy tubbo and ranboo were sat outside when the notification went out announcing the team honestly you’ll never forget the look on their faces when they realised

MCChampionship_ tweeted: 👑announcing team green guardians 👑

@tommyinnit @tubbolive @ranboosaysstuff @y/n

Watch them in MCC on Saturday, August 28th at 8 pm BST!

“Y/N WHAT THE FUCK”

“congrats y/n”

ranboo didn’t say anything he just tackled you into a hug like you did last month when you found he was in mcc. Tommy and tubbo were still processing what they just read

“Scott fucking lied to me”

“aye I told him to”

“what the fuck”

from then the four of you would constantly stream with each other on the mcc training server, you were a strong team when you weren’t yelling at each other.

time flew by soon enough it was the 28th of August. Tommy genuinely couldn’t believe it his best friend was in mcc and on a team with him and he genuinely believed you all had a decent chance in winning as you were a strong team. Tommy invited you over to stream mcc he claimed it was because there would be three people trying to stream in the same room, in reality, it was because he wanted to see your reaction and be there for your first mcc.

Tommy let you stream from his room he had spent the previous night getting advice from tubbo on how he managed to set up so he could stream with ranboo in the same room.

“you ready y/n”

“of course I’ve been watching and learning from the best”

you and Tommy set up and joined the discord call and the mcc server, it was finally time. similarly to ranboo this was something you had wanted to do since Tommy told you all about it on your way home from school one day. 30 minutes later it was time for the games to begin and this is where the chaos began.

“you know what I hope it’s build mart”

“what the fuck y/n”

“fuck you I’m good at build mart- oh you’re joking it’s fucking parkour tag”

this is when you realised that two screaming teenagers in the same room both trying to stream the event wasn’t the best idea, you and Tommy would constantly scream at poor ranboo who was just trying to hunt the other team

“RANBOO CATCH THEM”

“really y/n?! I thought I’d let them win this round”

unsurprisingly your team was doing great you had won 7/8 rounds but there was still one more round, determined to be the one to get dream you decided to be the hunter

“y/n don’t worry if you can’t get them we’re doing well”

“Y/N IGNORE RANBOO ME AND TOMMY DON'T WANT TO LOSE”

“not putting pressure on me at all thank you boys”

being close friends with technoblade gave you an advantage you didn’t expect due to the fact he helped to “train” you for your first mcc which ended up being the reason you were able to catch them all and then helped the others avoid being caught

“tubbo he's to your left TUBBO I SAID HES TO YOUR LEFT WHY ARE YOU GOING LEFT TOMMY RUN RUN RUN RUN ranboo you’re doing great”

“NO WAY”

you had just successfully won the round against dream sapnap George and quackity and you would never let dream live this down

“do you guys think dream will let me be in one of his manhunts now”

“no”

“fuck you tubbo you’re just mad you couldn’t catch all the runners in yellow yaks. you couldn’t catch jack manifold”

so far everything was going well you were currently in 4th place and your team had high hopes. you all felt the need to confirm to your chats that you’re all not actually mad at each other and not to worry about everything.

the next game was survival games ranboo wasn’t ready for this due to the last mcc where he died pretty early on, it started well you all stuck together as a team until the game was nearly over and you got distracted by a chest and ran away from the others whilst they were fighting another team this ended up being a happy accident in disguise you got the notification that Tommy tubbo and ranboo were killed fighting another team

“oh fuck”

“WE COULD HAVE WON WAIT Y/N DID YOU DIE”

“no”

tubbo could practically hear your smile as you explained to them that you ran off and was currently under a tree watching the others fight, you used the fact they died in the game to your advantage they would tell you if anyone was coming to attack you whilst you ran around collecting loot avoiding the others shooting arrows

“AYO STOP FUCKING SHOOTING ME ITS MY FIRST MCC LET ME WIN”

“Y/N HAVE YOU GOT LAVA”

“I DO AAAAAA PISS OFF LET ME WIN”

“USE THE LAVA YOU CAN EASILY TAKE OUT HALF OF THE REMAINING PLAYERS”

to everyone’s surprise, it worked due to the border being smaller so there was less room to run soon it was you vs punz at this point you were determined to win

“GO Y/N GO GO GO HIT HIM YOU CAN DO IT”

“you’re doing so well y/n”

some may call it beginners luck but you ended up winning the fight against punz

“LETS FUCKING GO Y/N”

“I DID IT OH MY GOD”

the next game was hole in the wall and long story short you sucked, ranboo on the other hand did not. it didn’t take long for you to fall every single round. this helped the others though as you were able to yell which side the wall was coming from

“fuck this stupid game the wall hates me”

“y/n you're supposed to jump through the gaps“

“you know what no I’m going to get on a sapnap alt stream by glitching through”

this didn’t work you died again

“well fuck there I go I guess you’ve got this though guys Tommy you’re doing decent”

“I'm doing great thank you- oh I died FUCK YOU FOR DISTRACTING ME”

“blah blah blah GO TUBBO AND RANBOO”

you couldn’t believe it ranboo was one of the final people remaining, unfortunately, ranboo jumped too late resulting in him falling but nonetheless you were proud of him

“unlucky boo you all did great”

the next game was battle box the four of you had been practising this a lot so there was a lot of pressure to do well especially since you were now in the top 3 on the leaderboard, the strategies you made from practicing paid off you managed to win the majority of the rounds, however, there was a lot of screaming and arguing during the last round

“RANBOO STOP STEALING MY KILLS OR I'M GOING TO START HITTING YOU WITH A SWORD”

“he’s been stealing mine too y/n”

tubbo was honestly playing well during this game and you were amazed

unfortunately, the arguing resulted in you losing the round as you were all focusing on arguing which meant you missed the other team rushing to wool

“unlucky boys”

“7 wins out of 9 rounds honestly isn’t that bad we should still be third we just need to stay strong with the rest of the games”

during the break before the last four games, the four of you sat making plans for the next few round

“I want to get to the other side last I think that will be our strength”

there was still a rather long break left so you did what anyone else would do run around the server and yell this was a huge mistake as it messed with the soundproofing resulting in tommys mic picking you up and vice versa

“so I guess we’re streaming like this now”

“FIX IT”

“well since you asked so nicely tubso…no”

tubbo ended up doing the same to the soundproofing in the room he was in with ranboo were in meaning all four of you were now having a scuffed stream as you ran out of time to fix it because before you knew it, it was time to play sky battle

“right we should go left”

“tubbo will get iron Tommy will make the bridge and y/n will do…something”

you did the same thing techno did in the pride mcc and hid occasionally breaking blocks from underneath people so they would fall the others were doing well the game was a mixture of you all encouraging each other and you all cursing each other out whilst ranboo ignored you all and spoke to his chat

“chat I know you can hear double everyone if I could fix it I would but tubbo y/n and Tommy are being too stubborn to fix everything and we don’t have time”

“Y/N WHERE ARE YOU”

“making people fall to their death can we talk about our feelings now because this is stressful as hell”

“NOT THE TIME”

you all did decently you weren’t amazing at this game but that was expected it was something you all weren’t the biggest fan of but somehow you were all still in third place and that was something you weren’t expecting especially for your first mcc

it was now time for sands of time you all needed to do well

“bruh I wanted build mart what the fuck is this”

“we’re not going to win this game boys”

and tubbo would be corrected that that statement, you ended up having a visual glitch making it difficult, Tommy would constantly get trapped in a dungeon like last time things weren’t loading for ranboo you had no idea what tubbo was doing and quite frankly you didn’t want to find out unless it was going to be good news and considering all you could hear was tubbo yelling anything that came to mind you could guess it wasn’t going well. you tried to rage quit a couple of times only to be yelled at by the others every time you disconnected from the server

“Y/N STOP LEAVING”

“I CAN'T SEE SHIT”

“you’re doing well y/n stay calm we’re going to be fine”

“OH I CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME I'M DYSLEXIC”

“CLEARLY WE'RE NOT FINE TUBBO IS STRUGGLING TOMMY IS LOCKED IN A DUNGEON AND I CAN'T SEE SHIT...HAVE YOU GOT THE LETTER N YET”

“no, they’re spawning one in for me”

“could them maybe I don’t know speed up the process”

yeah you ended up losing that game and got knocked down the 4th good news is it was only by a couple hundred points

next up was ace race

“do yous reckon Scott's tested this map”

“aren’t you his head twitch mod”

“you’re right I'll message him and find out”

luckily you all managed to do pretty well, Tommy was off to a great start you tubbo and ranboo weren’t far behind you all agreed to follow each other rather than the crowd which paid off as when everyone else went the wrong way rather than following you all managed to go the right way thanks to ranboo yelling he thinks that he knows where to go and thankfully he was correct which put Tommy first tubbo second ranboo third and you fourth, you all ended up lapping people on your final lap and honestly, none of you guessed this would happen but you weren’t exactly complaining. a few moments later you all crossed the finishing line and were the first team to finish giving you the bonus points you needed to push you to second place

“did you know since I first got into mcc I would put y/ns name down for who I wanted to play with”

“TOMMY OH MY GODDDD”

a few seconds later you showed up on Tommy's face cam as you ran over to him giving him a hug

“you’re doing great y/n we might get into dodgebolt”

“dude we’re winning this shit”

soon enough it was time for the last game (unless you got into dodgebolt) and luckily it was to get to the other side

“we've got this we have actually got this we’re going to get to dodgebolt”

you stuck with Tommy for almost every round mainly because speed bridging wasn’t for you. you were all doing great you were the first team to finish for multiple rounds however you were also the last team to finish for a few rounds

“boys I'm not sure if we’ll get through”

“We all had fun”

“if we get into dodgebolt we’re going to be against dream”

“WILL YOU ALL FUCKING FOCUS”

“no- OW TOMMY HIT ME WITH A PEN”

“IT WAS THE CLOSEST THING WOULD YOU RATHER I CHUCK MY COMPUTER MOUSE”

“will you two quit fighting we’re about to find out the final scores.”

3..2..1

“oh my god”

“what the fuck”

“ranboo and y/n are about to play dodgebolt”

“LETS GO WHAT THE FUCK”

you all did it you successfully kept 2nd place somehow now all you had to do was win dodgebolt against dream George sapnap and quackity. safe to say you and ranboo were nervous as fuck and rightfully so as you all lost the first game

“let’s be serious we need to focus now”

you all won the next round

“LETS FUCKING GO WE'VE GOT THIS”

it was now the third round Tommy and tubbo were now out it was you and ranboo against dream and sapnap

“bruh were fucked ranboo”

ranboo took aim and somehow hit sapnap whilst you took a moment to type a message in chat

y/n: it’s my first mcc how do you feel knowing you’re about to lose

it was now your turn to take aim and Tommy yelling in the background wasn’t helping you and the yelling made you shoot before you were ready luckily ranboo picked up an arrow and was able to hit dream, it was now 1 vs 2 if you won this round you would all be the champions and that’s exactly what happened you all quit yelling at each other hell you muted the discord call so you could focus all you could hear was Tommy next to you occasionally supporting you

“come on y/n final round. you’re about to win your first mcc I’m so proud of you”

“you’re doing amazing Tommy thank you for everything now let’s win this thing”

and just like that, it was over Tommy took the final shot and hit sapnap

you all unmuted the four of you yelling

“TOMMY TUBBO RANBOO I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS”

“WE DID IT WE FUCKING DID IT”

“OH MY GOD”

“WELL DONE EVERYONE”

this time Tommy ran over to you pulling you into a hug he was genuinely so proud of you and the others

“you did it y/n you won your first mcc that’s amazing”

“I couldn’t have done it without you or the others I love you all”

after talking to the other teams and ending stream

you and Tommy stayed on call with tubbo and ranboo

“you two need to make your way back here”

“me and y/n could probably catch a train if we’re very quick”

you nodded and quickly grabbed everything you needed thankfully your good luck hadn’t come to an end yet as you and Tommy were able to catch one of the last trains, Tommy had an arm around you as he noticed you were getting tired after all you did just go through the stress of your first mcc to over 170k viewers you ended up falling asleep on his shoulder a few hours passed and you were at the last stop Tommy lightly tapped your shoulder

“hey y/n were here tubbo and ranboo are waiting for us over there…let’s go celebrate this win shall we”

[strunglights]

last post because I actually need to take a break from all kinds of social media because the Scott/Noxcrew slander is driving me up the walls.

I've seen the statement "Build Mart is never getting removed because Scott likes it," way too many times. Scott has made it VERY CLEAR that he is involved in team making, and in very little else. he gets little say into the actual games. he literally said the only things he really does is make teams and the update video, which he is given a script for.

the fact that Scott is genuinely worried when he's on a good team or when he does good at the event because he knows he'll get hate and death threats is fucking horrendous.

again, I'll say it louder for those in the back, SCOTT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES BUILD MART. furthermore, no one is saying that Dream and Sapnap can't complain about Build Mart. I think it does need revamping, as every game does eventually. but it's the constant harassment, whether direct or indirect, to Noxcrew and Scott over a fucking block game.

And do you know why people give Dream and Sapnap a hard time for complaining about Build Mart? it's because their fucking fan base takes it way too far and makes so many blatantly false comments about Scott and Noxcrew. in doing so, the fan base reflects badly on Dream, who will then get backlash from people who don't follow him.

the fact that so many people will die on the hill that Noxcrew hates Dream blah blah blah. toxic the lot of you. Dream has even said, for example, that if they "nerf" the funnel tactic by changing rules, it's fair of Noxcrew to do. If Dream can respect Noxcrew and the event they created, why can't other people? especially when we're not supposed to argue on Dream's behalf.

when people are so used to watching the same POVs for MCC, it's easy to be biased and to tunnel vision. for example with PKW, yes Epic landlord was being quite awful in making the game harder to prevent ppl from finishing (which btw is not only Dream, Pete has finished), and it sucks that Dreams best game was removed. But in reality, there were so many issues with PKW, so they're working on a revamp. while at face level, it might seem like targeting Dream, but if you truly try to understand the perspectives of other CCs (and I can say this because I watch at least one POV from every team every MCC so), it's not so black and white.

I need to stop. I can talk about this for ages. but yeah, in summary, pls think about what you say before you harass Scott and Noxcrew and accuse them of being biased people, when they're just trying to make an event that is enjoyable for everyone.

[griancraft]

A mutual here who wants to stay anon but uh how did you figure out you were a system? Because sometimes I am not sure if I may be or not or how to even broach that question with my therapist. No obligation to share if you're not comfortable though.

Okay so I’m so sorry this is messy it’s hard to articulate. I’m not satisfied with this at all actually but it’s fine it’s fine ill answer questions that lead off from this

I figured out I was a system very very incidentally. I have been experiencing what I now know were headmates on and off since I was 7. I won’t bring up what because I don’t feel comfortable sharing. I just remember them “taking the reigns” when I was stressed, upset, or otherwise needed help. As well as there being things I don’t remember now that I know happened. As in. Trauma.

At age 16 I went through a pretty heavy experience that fucked me up. I’m not even sure if I’m the same person in a literal sense as I was back then. After the trauma, I experienced a lot of memory loss and other little things. Heavy disssoiation as well. I believed I had a ghost following me around when things would go missing and move around. I remember one time I thanked the ghost, and it never happened again. See, the point of a system is that the host isn’t really supposed to know. So despite the fact I was 100% a system and gained alters before I found out I had no clue. At all. Partially because I am oblivious to all hell.

I found out because our ranboo fronted and was. Terrible at it. I love her a lot but she is terrible at masking.

We were watching GTWSs MCC and I started dissociating really bad, and got a pressure above my eye. Blah blah blah, it got really bad, and she co cofronted. We bled into each other and when I saw fanart we went “oh! Me!” And I panicked to say the least!!

Basically I was panicking and texted all my system friends and eventually she calmed me down and explained that yes we were a system and it was just her and I (a lie. At the time we had Dandelion and Tommy. She just wanted to protect them.) So. It wasn’t me coming to some grand conclusion after gathering proof for a while it was me bumping into our Ranboo fictive and leaving her stumbling headfirst into the curtain that was systemhood and ripping it down from the wall. It want the most fun experience to start! Tommy didn’t talk to me for months because I was an asshole about systems when we first formed him nearly a year prior to that point. Dandelion was standoffish and cruel. Ranboo was trying to keep it all together and make sure we didn’t fall and fail and die etc etc. now everyone functions nicely and we have a working dynamic between all of us but that took a lot of communication.

If you can figure it out in a nice, smooth way that’s awesome. I don’t know how to help with that :,)

It sounds very much like you are trying to peruse a diagnosis a little? I won’t fault you for that but please know there is nothing inherently wrong with self diagnosing. Just remember that symportms DO cross over and be willing to pivot.

Actual diagnosis is something I personally will never do. Not because I don’t want to but due to societal stigma and the chance it has to affect things in the future.

This is very very anecdotal and I encourage you to ask yourself but I was told by a previous therapist (a shitty one, but a therapist) that diagnosis of DID or psychosis will not allow you to medically transition. Please take this weigh a grain of salt as he was a. Outdated man.

As a final note. You don’t need to in order to use resources for systems!!! I will never get an official diagnosis because it will 100% affect my ability to get a job. we are pretty functional, so I see no need. I still use PK and simply plural, and talk to people about my experiences though!

Even if you are wrong, you used resources that helped you at the time. And there is nothing wrong with that.

the comments on that post.. " And purpled being on 2 first place teams is kind of just a showing of his skill being able to bring those underrated teams up too first place" shut up shut up oh my god what are you talking about yes i love the very underatted and weak team of pink22

There is a cold war between FB and SBI fans??? What??? How???

I don't know if it's better to be specific - because y'all are gonna find out the details anyway - or ruder because that feels targeted lmao. I just want to preface this by saying that I've only had positive interactions with the OP of the main post I'm gonna mention, and that it was properly tagged.

Okay, so tension's been bubbling for a while between SBI and FB blogs. I can't really give you an exact starting point, because while a lot of this is MCC-related, I'm confident that it started well before all of that drama. I think it could be tied to the nature of dttwt and their animosity toward SBI (particularly Techno, though all of them have been targeted), but that's on another platform and is speculation at best.

I do know, however, that FB fans - particularly Dream blogs - have noticed a slump in rb numbers of art, while others - I think mainly dteam, though Karl's probably in there too - have felt a bit... secluded, so to speak. I don't know if SBI fans would agree or disagree, but some people have felt that there's been this more-and-more tangible gap between the two.

Blah blah blah, sorry, I just think that bit's just interesting.

The reason they're arguing now is because someone made a post on Reddit with a suggestion as to how to fix the scoring system for Parkour Tag and Dream replied. In said reply, Dream explained that in his opinion, more games than just PT distribute points in a way that hurts his individual placement. (He made sure to clarify that he doesn't think he's being targeted or anything, just that it so happens to be this way.) He listed Sands of Time, Parkour Tag, Hole in the Wall, and touched on TGTTOS (as well as a nod to PW, rip) as games he feels he does well in, but doesn't get accurately rewarded for.

I'm not gonna summarize the entire post, but I think the relevant bits are that he talks about coins being split amongst the team even when the game is highly individualized (though this really only applies to SoT), and says that the bonus for staying alive till the end in HiTW is too high. I think the post went down pretty okay on Reddit; I could be wrong, but I don't think they're particularly afraid to clown on Dream and I couldn't find any super negative comments from a quick scan, just some discussion.

Someone on here (who has been notably FB critical in the past) made a post dissecting what Dream said and how he is as a player. OP claims that Dream's twisting the truth to benefit his story and OP generally corroborates some ideas from that other Dream-critical post, such as the notion that Dream is a bad teammate and takes the game too seriously. "No one else is complaining." "It comes off as incredibly egotistical to believe that can tell mcc how their tournament should be run." OP then went on to answer a lot of Dream-critical asks (I'm not gonna explain further because some of what the anons were saying made me really uncomfortable lol).

This caught the attention of a lot of popular FB blogs and posts have gone around in circles about it (enough that it feels substantial imo). It's not a clean split, I'm sure - I myself don't really consider myself SBI or FB as a rule - but there's definitely a lot of frustration.

Sorry my answer's so long, just wanted to be comprehensive.

yeah i think the changes would have been better if the new stuff was put in the tips notification in the beginning, not ruining the ‘surprise! changes’ element but not relying on people being aware that the whole system has changed

that’s true!! i don’t know how much it would’ve helped yesterday seeing as ppl barely read the tips in the beginning (i’m sure some do but the povs i watch usually skip over them) but at least they (noxcrew) could’ve made the case that they alluded to those changes and ppl could be more careful for next time and anticipate that stuff and read through them at the beginning of the games more properly

i also recognise there is some luck to some of the games in mcc like that one tgttos game where it’s just fall guys and you have to pick a door, the thing about that is it isn’t nearly as time consuming if you mess up and there’s still a clear end unlike that one game where you had to break blocks and tower up that george didn’t even finish and i don’t think it’s because he’s a bumbling idiot again it was honestly just confusing

honestly i don’t have a huge problem w/ the confusing maps at the end of the day it is what it is! noxcrew are always striving to do things bigger and better, it’s also a super cool free event and whatnot that’s why ppl should also be more forgiving abt glitches (god so many ppl abuse glitches in the event and it’s just funny to watch and also totally out of their control like wilbur glitch anyone? i also think even george glitched through the walls a few times) quack and george also pointed out that the ace race map was really cool once you got used to it, it’s literally just that some of the directions you had to take were so counterintuitive? the very end of the map obviously should not have screwed everyone over like that there was no skill to recognising immediately where to go it was almost luck and then scott had the benefit of having seen the map beforehand and made callouts to his teams which i don’t necessarily blame him for btw! the subreddit is in flames about this but he’s always usually been wary about giving information knowing he’s at an advantage

i’ve watched his povs before and also how he’s played w/ people like dream and recognise he’s always wanted to be fair abt giving ppl mcc knowledge/tips in the event that he makes sure are either already known or stuff that’s discussed often and it isn’t like secret knowledge about new maps and mechanics or anything (i’m aware the ace race map was changed btw, but it must’ve been strikingly similar for scott to have barely slipped up the same way so many of the other players did even members of his own team) genuinely i just think he’s a nice person who maybe got caught up in the fact it was a new season and there were changes and he wanted to be a helpful presence to his team and not leave them in the dark in the moment but let it slip his mind that that technically isn’t fair to the other teams

but again blah blah the event is over honestly congrats to aqua! i do really want to watch wisps pov, this isn’t me being a shooter for gg btw because they were doomed from the start almost, the energy just wasn’t there and the confusing nature of the games kinda contributed to it as time went on and it was kinda sad but we move you know? they seemed okay w/ the losses, dream esp rolled w/ the punches quite well not to be like growth but honestly, growth! poor thing seemed like a bundle of nerves even george was like damn you were crazy nervy bro but hey there’s always next time and yeah... mcc is always fun regardless it’s just also fun to talk abt the scuffedness and event happenings generally

[literaphobe]

Did you read the pastebin?/gen, lh/ Dream went into why his 1.15 run and previous ones were being deleted. In case you haven't read it, it's because typically, whenever a run is proven to be spliced, all the runs in that game get removed. He did mention how it was extremely odd that they removed them only now but it was to be expected. (I swear I mean this in a nice way and want only to let you know in case you didn't. Sorry if it comes off as mean I suck at wording)

i did read it and i do know about that! i’m not saying i don’t understand WHY it was removed, i was simply talking perceptions and the Impressions all these situations gave off. and yeah, weird as FUCK for them to do it now, literally THE DAY OF MCC 14. weird as shit for haters to PAY TO SABOTAGE THE QUALITY OF HIS STREAM and thereby making me super confused when i was watching thinking my internet was buggy :(

like. i saw him lose 30k viewers over the course of the competition n yeah mcc is a fun free no stakes contest. but its not the same for everyone lmao? like dream’s thing is that he’s cracked n if he doesn’t perform he’ll get people coming for him saying oh he shouldn’t be s tier he sucks this is proof that he cheated n was never good to begin with why is he popular blah blah blah n like. he gets so much mindless n groundless hate for the dumbest reasons at this point and people don’t care about extending compassion to him its always his fault if haters get shit on by his fans and just. im rambling n getting off topic but god fuck all of that n im glad he seems happier now. im glad he is coming out of this with a lighter heart
