sometimes it hits me that fitmc of 2b2t, whom i have watched for years, and who, prior to the qsmp, had a very non mcrp audience and presence online, currently logs onto gayboy horror island every day to roleplay his minecraft character having a slow burn gay romance. like that is fitmc the youtube historian of 2b2t logging on to giggle and kick his feet over his block man character’s romance arc.
"i didn't expect the eggs to be such a big deal!" paraphrasing, but like. quackity. how. how??
the server said, "okay, here's a baby. no, really, an actual baby: fragile, new to the world, and alone. not only that, it's your baby. they're hungry, they're stumbling, they're trying so hard to live against all the impossible odds. and since they're your baby, you are the only one who can keep them alive. if you don't care for them, they'll die. it will be of neglect, plain and simple, because they're a baby.
oh, and they love you back, by the way. this is your baby and they toddle by your heels and babble at you (with signs) as they try, usually, to do what you tell them to do. they do this because you're their parent, it's clear that they love you. eventually, they start talking and they call you apa, abuelo, mama, dada -- and then they tell you, to your face, that they love you.
you fed them, played with them, protected them, tucked them into bed in a room in your home. you sang them to sleep, bathed them, dressed them, taught them skills and morals. you can see yourself reflected in their personality, their interests, and even how they look (leo's red hat/chayanne in the skull 'fit). they're your baby."
...and then he expected a series of (vaguely) sane people in their 20s/30s not to immediately become sick with devotion?? to be in tears over the silly little eggs?? like, no joke, if that had actually been the outcome i would have thrown every psychological and anthropological text i own in the trash in a fit of disbelief 💀
Quackity: Friends, by the way, I want to give an update regarding QSMP. We are making great structural changes that are very good for the project. This is something I have been working on the past few days. Great structural changes are being made for the project. Honestly, I'm really happy with these changes. These changes have been discussed with the creators as well.
Quackity: I just wanted to give you all an update regarding that. I'll keep you updated, everyone! We're moving forward, I just wanted to give you a quick update.
felps spent his first day on the qsmp saying "calm, calm" to cellbit every five minutes, yet we all were shocked when felps disappearing meant cellbit stopped being calm, calm
