Aqua’s Live Reactions: “Las Nevadas”

Once again, despite knowing when exactly the livestream would happen, I decided to pull a Ge0rgeN0tF0und and slept through the latest lore event... though in my defense, the stream started at 5am in my time zone. Since the official vod still isn’t uploaded, I’m watching an unofficial one, so thank you to my friend Emily from Discord for uploading it.

As usual, a few things before we begin:

I basically don’t know what happens during the livestream, even though I woke up at 8am or so. Sure, I’ve seen a few minor spoilers through browsing Reddit and Tumblr (I’ve refused to interact with major blogs I follow to avoid them actively), but overall, I know next to nothing.

No one’s updated TV Tropes yet, so thank God I don’t have that as a source of spoilers. I might update them after watching the vod, though.

This whole post is within the context of the SMP, so /rp and /dsmp applies to everything under the cut.

If you don’t know what happened, be warned, as spoilers go unmarked. I’m only adding the spoiler tag because it’s within the first 24 hours of the stream.

I have a bingo card for this stream, actually! You’ll see it filled out at the end of the post.

0:08 -- Why is there a countdown? Is this plot-significant in any way? *asks* No, apparently it’s not, so let’s skip the first 12 minutes, I suppose! Considerate man lets us grab the popcorn and be prepared to choke on it

12:05 -- LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO... wait a minute, he said he was going to kill Techno on the notification? HOW DOES THIS PLAY INTO THE PLOT--

12:18 -- “all recorded in Minecraft” guess no more real life smash cuts like on March 16th, then? also, is this a desert?

12:24 -- WHY IS HE SUDDENLY RIDING A WHITE HORSE, WHERE DID OSSIUM GO

12:27 -- “the start of las nevadas” LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

12:40 -- LMAO FLASHBACK CUT TO THE FINAL CONTROL ROOM DUEL, ANOTHER CHECKBOX ON THE BINGO SHEET

12:44 -- HOLY FUCK IT’S THE CASINO CITY!!

13:02 -- That explains the title, the hit list! He’s got Dream already, and hence the title! He’s going after Techno... again.

13:07 -- THE HELL IS THAT FACE

13:10 -- Visiting Dream every day, as demonstrated in the last stream!

13:36 -- EPISODE 3 LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO I’M SO HYPED

13:47 -- OH MY GOD HE’S ACTUALLY DOING IT HOLY COW (another one bites the dust)

14:15 -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING.... OH NO THE C!DR3AM APOLOGISTS ARE GONNA HAVE A FIELD DAY OVER THIS................... i’m scared

15:00 -- oh so the torture WAS partially revenge-motivated........................

15:05 -- OH WAIT I FORGOT TO CHECK OFF THE TRAUMA BOX... done

15:37 -- THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEAL, RIGHT? THE LEONINE CONTRACT?

16:50 -- the fandom be coming to a halt at this... techno visiting dream? people have been speaking of this interaction in the fanfics for months. this could be life-changing

17:47 -- if this is what you promised him, then you’d do your goddamn best to keep that promise, okay?

18:26 -- “what if sapnap comes” OH BOY OH BOY YOU’RE LITERALLY TALKING TO THE MAN ENGAGED TO HIM AND ALSO IS CURRENTLY HAVING RELATIONSHIP ISSUES. DO NOT SPEAK OF SAPNAP LIKE THIS. THIS BETTER NOT BE HOW THE RELATIONSHIP ANGST GETS DRAGGED INTO THIS MESS. IT BETTER NOT.

20:11 -- JESUS CHRIST MAN..............

20:53 -- I’ve heard rumours about Exile... oh boy....... I don’t like this thing one bit. Not at all. Can’t we just get this over with? (props to the content creators though)

21:20 -- watching this shit is actually slightly distressing. actually does make me slightly uncomfortable here in the studio.

21:32 -- we’re done, I hope. we’re done? are we done? (oh no there’s gonna be so much apologist discourse over this because I myself actually feel a little bad for c!dream over this shit)

21:38 -- I hear rain?

21:56 -- chapter 1? so we’re finally done with the prologue that’s gonna spark so goddamn much discourse?

22:19 -- is that an alleyway? with a campfire?

22:36 -- WHOA! LOUDNESS ALERT

22:39-23:10 -- “easy job, no innocents, big reward, easy money, peaceful heist” oh and was there a horseman? I couldn’t see clearly who it is, but there’s someone there and a horse? and an enchanted... pickaxe?? and what’s that massive crackle-tearing sound?

23:10 -- someone shot an arrow and the sound stops? new scene?

23:20 -- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT RED SHIT??!! the nether?????

23:35 -- there’s someone in armour? black? lots of lava?? q, is that you in that new skin of yours? and... why do I hear distant screaming???

23:51 -- the loud thunder actually makes me slightly uncomfortable, I feel

24:05 -- FOOLISH?!!?

24:29 -- “the pursuit of peace”... why did it just blink out like a malfunctioning security cam?? and time is ticking?

24:43 -- hey! it’s morning in las nevadas!

24:48 -- SAM!!

24:53 -- yeah, why’s there a villager back there? a cook?! a gourmet chef for the gamblin’ city?

25:21 -- stop talking over people, Q. it’s impolite. also, you showing him dream’s note... that you made him write under threat of death? (oh, apparently not!)

25:48 -- *silence* shit, we got the fiances angst alright

26:04 -- “why are you so worked up? calm down” because they broke his heart and he’s still not over it, I think?

26:23 -- FOOLISH!!

26:57 -- “he’s a good fighter” FOOLISH LORE?!!?

27:30 -- “everything we’ve done, we’ve done it for justice” ooh boy

28:00 -- FOOLISH LORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

28:49 -- “and now he’s wasting his days away building” no, he’s not, he’s said it’s like his healthy coping mechanism, don’t do this to foolish of all people

29:53 -- I’m with you on this, Sam. Q, don’t drag the old man out of retirement, because you’re gonna get zapped istg

30:05 -- IT’S HIS ANCIENT EGYPTIAN STYLE HOLIDAY HOME!!

30:33 -- YES IT’S HIM, IT’S THE BOY!! THE BOYS!!

31:15 -- the banquet gets mentioned!! he cares!!!

31:56 -- yes, he does know kinoko. he’s still evidently heartbroke over it. please don’t do this. why is this the way fiances angst manifests. why. you literally see his facial expression fall, right?

32:59 -- “it’s a big country” yeah, five whole maps’ worth, iirc

34:08 -- does this shit count as miscommunication? I think it might. if it does, another one bites the dust...

34:36 -- don’t let people’s pasts define them. define them by their present. and that’s to the “fans” bashing on content creators for “not knowing better” as well.

35:47 -- from one tactic from another, huh? blackmail to fuckin’ real estate?

36:13 -- yeah, that’s one MASSIVE build... Q, don’t do this, let him have his peace

36:32 -- YEP, THAT’S A CAPITALIST ARC ALRIGHT

36:43 -- oh for fuck’s sake........................ at this rate, I’m becoming a foolish apologist

37:33 -- so you’re going the fuckin’ capitalistic pragmatism route, I see what you did there, haha art major useless, hahahaha /s

38:19 -- “after I let you die at the red banquet” MOTHERFUCKER. YOU DAMN WELL MOURNED HIM. WE ALL SAW THAT VOD. WE GODDAMN SAW IT. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, FUCKER. WHAT THE FUCK. THIS IS WHY I AM NOT AN APOLOGIST FOR Q. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. OH WAIT YOU’RE GOING DOWN THE WILBUR ROUTE OH NO THAT EXPLAINS A LOT--

39:38 -- oh great, manipulate mansplain malewife be on the case again. as much I love the phrase, please stop. please no. and when the time comes, explain to the fandom, the pain and heartbreak you put us teenagers through. when will you learn, that this is your legacy, your lore is your legacy. as they twist your characterization...

40:09 -- holy FUCK he went off on the wilbur route. he took the cynicism and pragmatism and goddamn ran with it to the logical extreme of capitalism. sir... I live in the most capitalistic city in the goddamn world, but even I think you’ve gone off the deep end. it’s getting harder to defend you from the haters, ya know, as someone who heavily sympathizes with you.

41:06 -- i’M SORRY TO SAY THIS, FOOLISH, BUT KILL THIS MAN WHERE HE STANDS, PLEASE. PERSONAL GROWTH? FOOLISH ALREADY HAD HIS CHARACTER ARC OFF SCREEN, AGES AGO. THAT WAS HIS PERSONAL GROWTH, THAT VIOLENCE ISN’T THE ANSWER. YOU SICK FUCK. YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARD. /lh

42:35 -- OKAY, THANKS FOR THE REMINDER OF WHY I SYMPATHIZE FOR YOU, YOU’RE LEGIT GONNA MAKE ME CRY AT THIS RATE

43:29 -- chapter 2! oh, and I think... foolish probably just realized that q kind of fell down the rabbit hole... just like he himself did, ages ago. it’s such a weird dichotomy we have here. so weird.

43:33 -- old style camera countdown stock footage!

43:49 -- THE SLIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

44:04 -- “rest in peace Tommyinnit LOL” of all the slime chunks you could have used, you had to use THAT?!

44:25 -- “...slime children. gross” I thought slimes reproduced asexually?? like you kill a big slime and two smaller slimes are produced???

44:58 -- “so all around us, the environment, everything, it’s all slime?” “always has been.”

45:21 -- that “unless” is so fuckin’ ominous

45:38 -- mysterious dark figure?

45:43 -- oh! it’s Q in his new skin! I can recognize those eyes’ positioning anywhere! and no, I’m not making fun of your “condition”.

45:53 -- WHY IS HE USING AN ELYTRA???!!!! I thought it was banned?!!! or is this winged!Quackity confirmed???

45:59 -- *flying* *land harshly and lose half his health* “FUCK” LMFAO HE TOOK A MASSIVE L RIGHT THERE

46:41 -- sanitary conditions?? what are we on now??

46:56 -- NO ONE EXPECTS CHARLIE SLIMECICLE

47:11 -- did he just murder charlie?! canon life lost?! and what is this beeping?

47:23 -- interrogation scene?

48:04 -- 300 bones? are you a child? it’s 206 bones in an adult human, sir, unless minecraft anatomy is different?

49:25 -- slimecicle lore. also suspiciously specific denial.

49:50 -- “something about a purple guy?” PURPLED?!!?

49:51 -- “you broke his ufo” PURPLED!!!!!!! F IN THE CHAT FOR THE UFO THOUGH

50:48 -- he was about to take a canon life but then-- wait what? is something happening?

51:14 -- IT’S SNOWING!!

51:25 -- “this is called coke” no it’s not :] (affectionate)

52:00 -- thank you, charlie slimecicle. VERY specific. /s

52:07 -- “red shirt blond guy” TOMMYINNIT?!!?

52:12 -- “dead guy but not anymore” WILBUR?! IS THIS HOW QUACKITY FOUND OUT ABOUT WILBUR BEING REVIVED?!

54:03 -- “a spy” “a friend” MY HEART MY HEART AHHHHH

54:11 -- CHAPTER 3!! I also looked slightly ahead and is that... Fundy? Wilbur?!

54:14 -- GOING BACK IN TIME TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT WOO

54:17 -- ONE WEEK BEFORE THE RED BANQUET, LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

54:44 -- PURPLED?!?! also, what’s this rule about no minors in the gambling country, made ages ago?

56:28 -- are they using a walkie talkie? is that why it all sounds so... crackly? the audio? and there’s the ufo... with disgusting blood vines growing all over it... is this where it goes kaboom?

56:44 -- now that you’ve said it, he’s probably gonna show up any second now

57:02 -- you get his attention... by making his old home go kaboom?!

58:09 -- OKAY YOU’RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS, THANKS TO FLYPAW FOR THE HEADS-UP

58:43 -- he’s really goofing off by breaking a shroomlight in the wall to make a window, huh? (affectionate)

58:52 -- LOOK WHO’S HERE!!!!!!! IT’S HIM!!!!!!

1:01:54 -- so THIS is how he got purpled on his side for the banquet... wonder if it also goes into him recruiting techno as well

1:05:22 -- THE RED BANQUET!!

1:05:37 -- it still doesn’t resolve the problem of how he’s been getting money from though.... like we know it’s based in las nevadas. we KNOW. but anything concrete behind that? no! people didn’t even know it existed back then! how were you supposed to get your cash? unless you’ve been... heh... mining off camera

1:06:11 -- after the red banquet, and that’s a good question, sir!

1:06:45 -- “where’s my money?” LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

1:07:24 -- BRUH. HE DID WHAT JUST NOW. HE DID WHAT?! YOU WHAT. WHAT. WHAT...

1:08:03 -- you’re... ACTIVELY DESTROYING HIS LEGACY?! WHAT THE LEGITIMATE FUCK?!!? SIR?? IT’S GETTING VERY HARD TO DEFEND YOU, AND YOU’D BETTER HAVE SOME DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION FOR ALL OF THIS. YOU BETTER.

1:09:25 -- it starts thundering the moment q gives out the new proposition. this is textbook ominous stuff. don’t make a deal with the devil. i see how fundy’s lore gets roped in here. because he has less than good intentions...

1:10:07 -- “potential” seems to be an arc word here

1:10:37 -- “if you join me then that won’t be the last piece of evidence you were ever around” YOU DESTROYED HIS LEGACY, YOU DIPSHIT, AND YOU COME IN WITH THE PROPOSITION THAT YOU CAN BUILD HIM A LEGACY?? A NEW ONE????? BRUH........ WHAT THE HELL?! guess dream saw the minors and said “is anyone gonna manipulate that” and didn’t wait for an answer... forgot purpled... and then mr alex quackity shows up and says “i’ll finish the job for you” and goes and manipulates the last minor. great job.

1:12:00 -- says the man planning to use people for their abilities and skills...

1:14:21 -- ...fundy?

1:14:49 -- he’s ready to go to bed... nightmare time?

1:15:43 -- he woke up... in the mesa?

1:16:09 -- it’s him alright! I didn’t watch his March 30th lore stream, but I’m starting to get where he’s coming from...

1:16:44 -- not only is he still in the mesa, but he’s greeted by a man who’s very evidently shown to be spiraling badly. this is NOT going to end well.

1:18:15 -- is that... a tower? w-his tower? I don’t know Fundy and his lore very well tbh...

1:18:32 -- the ruins of l’manburg... the walls... what has happened? are we still in a nightmare?

1:19:41 -- the camarva-- oh. oh. the lore stream. of course... shit......

1:21:45 -- he’s... recruiting. ‘”he” had horrific intentions despite a good-sounding premise’... the march 30th lore stream...

1:22:06 -- why is his voice getting echoey?

1:22:48 -- “if you think about it, you don’t matter” BITCH WE PULLING THAT CARD NOW. WHY? WHY. WHY.

1:24:10 -- dude you’re acting like a stereotypical supervillain... fundy... resist the call... please...

1:25:26 -- the music is acting up...

1:26:05 -- MOTHERFUCKER HE’S HERE, STOP TERRORIZING THE POOR GUY............

1:26:19 -- revivedbur! how’s it been?

1:26:24 -- wait, that’s an old clip, if a subscribe thing pops up....

1:27:19 -- it’s a sign!

1:27:31 -- revivedbur ran off to las nevadas! he joins the casino gang!

1:27:51 -- the beanie duo crumbs........................

1:28:20 -- A MASSIVE ROUND OF APPLAUSE, TO THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND HIMSELF!!!!
