We Watch the Clouds & Stars: an OriginsSMP TNTduo Comic ☁️💫 | Anecdote: Awake or Alive [part 1/?]

content warning: discussion of death and afterlife

read left to right

NEXT

hello !!!!!!!!! im back on the grid again and with a bang, here to deliver a comic ive been working on since september ! its gonna be pretty messy, inconsistent, and just purely me having fun . therell be a lot of things ive thought through thoroughly, and therell be some things i forgot to even existed ! all in all this is a comic about a character whos been gone for a year and one that doesnt even exist, so its all built from me being silly

there will be sensitive topics discussed or depicted ! those will have a warning placed beforehand for each update, even though many of these things are meant to be up to interpretation or implied . some anecdotes ive written have been quite heavy though, so if i end up finishing them, listen to the content warnings

this will be a non-linear story, so instead of chapters i have named them anecdotes . they will be moreso bits and pieces of my o!quackity and o!wilbur's lives, specifically of them together, so some parts will be before or after others . some parts will reference each other, or foreshadow, but u likely wont need to read the anecdotes in any specific order

^ and so, because of this, the dynamics of wwtc&s!tntduo will change and will be inconsistent, just as what happens with real people if u look into random pockets of their life . some anecdotes theyll be more comfortable with each other, some theyll be more spiteful, some theyll be more awkward, etc. especially since oquackity has no character and owilbur is underdeveloped

this comic is a lot about change but also keeping familiarity in said change, which is totally not just an excuse for my inconsistent ass nope nuh-nuh. this time its actually relevant to the characters !!!!

and YEAH . i am doing all this just bc cc!quackity mentioned in the 2021 wine stream that he was in the originssmp discord and wanted to actually play but never did . im still mad abt it so ive decided to just make shit up now 👍

by the way !!!!!!!!! the big wings wilbur has on the cover r actually not canon anymore . Lol . i drew that before i had a more concrete idea of the comic and its concepts, but i really didnt feel like editing it (the tail is also missing), so i kept it cause idrc FDKDFKJ

i may draw him with wings again sometime just bc i really like it, but for the sake of story - know that theyre not canon, and that his cloak compensates for his lack of wings

there is likely more for me to explain, but rn im all over the place so i dont really remember what ! the next part will probs be up tomorrow or so, im not sure . really hope u guys enjoy

in such a situation lets remember how to adress this stuff

obvious main priority is supporting victims and speaking out about the things that allowed this to happen. Support Shelby and Lexie and everyone else who is hurt by the abusers

be careful on what you pressure other ccs to do. Dont pressure for a statement especially if they might have experienced stuff themselves. Expect them to stop showing support for Wilbur by unfollowing and no longer mentioning him. Dont pressure people into making a full statement and especially dont pressure them to tell personal stories

Remember we dont know these people we are just viewers. Be carefull with speculation. Ive seen a lot of people speculating about who wilbur might have been manipulative to in terms of friends.

Give ccs some time to see and react to the accusations and response. However dont go overboard and expect them to respond at some point. If a long time passes and they are still ignoring the situation while everyone else has unfollowed or spoken about it then its odd.

Dont be parasocial these peoples job is to be public figures they know that people watch their every move and will notice when they support someone.

If someone speaks out and tells a story then supprot them well and listen to what they have to say

I do admit earlier in the heat of the moment and fear for what would be revealed i did not get this across properly for what to expect from a cc. I will be more mindful of my phrasing in the future. I do want people to be carefull in general and not take advantage of reasonable comments to use as excuses for other ccs though

What do you head canon Skid and Pump's real names to be? If you have any ideas at all that is HJFDCS

i couldnt upload the audio like a normal person so heres this. gonna try to animate to it tomorrow :P

[thedroloisms]

I feel like some people are saying that also because there is literal clips of shubble and lexie straight up saying his friends knew he was abusing her and wouldn't care to say anything until it was public

I understand, but what they said is hardly enough to straight up start pointing fingers at the exact ccs involved. Especially when they’re saying things now. Like, we don’t know who they’re referring to, and saying “wow why didn’t you say anything earlier” to someone going “you manipulated me” is just point blank kinda fucked. I understand and sympathize with people’s anger, but in this situation with a cc that has had many of his associates come out and describe his behavior as hurting them personally, like, you just can’t be sure if the person you’re pointing is truly complicit or literally another victim

[samnooks]

at the end of the day i dont know what’s going behind closed doors with the other ccs bc again i dont know these people maybe they knew maybe they didnt maybe theyre victims themselves and maybe they arent i dont have a clue and im going to avoid reading into all of this without substantial evidence

[rat-rosemary]

Hey guys, idk just put this out here before anything happens

The dteam lost a lot of friends, but they aso lost them in a lot of ways. Some relationships might heal and if they do it will be different every time

And we have no right to say anything about it. If any of those relationships come back we have no right to argue on whether they should or should not be friends. We're not our CC's keepers

[prisonpodcast]

sometimes I see q/smp lore discourse posts and it stresses me out even tho I don’t watch it 😭

[swagferret]

*me the other day, casually scrolling through my dash* huh, what a seriously written post about abuse apologism from a mcyt blog i follow, with no names attached. i haven't heard about a new situation since the shit with forever. do i want to go digging? if it's a big enough situation, i'll probably hear about it from more than a vague textpost.

*me earlier today, reading a comment thread under the youtube upload of msr* oh. well fuck. definitely going to look into this now.

*me watching the VOD* what the FUCK i am so unbelievably sorry shelby, you deserved none of that omfg

[tootiredtocares-blog]

A part of me is still a little bit salty the fandom hung up on c!tnt duo instead of c!dreambur

[elytrafemme]

also btw. just wanted to point out how Boundless Sands and the Las Nevadas Finale (no matter HOW u feel about them) both made attempts and imo did a GOOD JOB at handling the conversation about recovery. neither c!Wilbur nor c!Quackity were perfect and clearly in the beginning or in the midst of a messy road to healing but w the letters and w Friend being in limbo + c!Wilbur going home we see like. the characters were WORKING on healing and being better as people. and that to me was not only a testament to how much cc!Wilbur and cc!Quackity loved their damn characters, but was also something that really reassured me. you know as someone who has had their own mental health issues too (clearly) and has been in the throes of the recovery process for a while. shits messy and shits unclear and you relapse but you TRY and cc!Wilbur and cc!Quackity did a good job being both gentle & real about the trying part.

versus the fucking “DSMP vol 1 finale”, aka a stream that was clearly coordinated (bold word choice of mine, implying anything here was really planned) by Dream and only included some of the biggest streamers (For all the DSMP season 3 / prison break stream had faults, at least more than 5 fucking people were on the server doing things !!!), had HORRIBLE messaging about the process of healing. Ppl have gone back and forth about how bad the whole Tommy Dream “reconcilation” thing was, and I didn’t watch the stream so I only know bits and therefore can only be taken w a grain of salt here. BUT i think that the fact that (1) Tommy was even entertaining the thought of making amends, or if you think that he was making amends at the time, with Dream NOT APOLOGIZING and no follow up to show that forgiving abusers doesnt absolve their guilt and also u dont have to forgive abusers and also Tommy wasnt at fault  . and also (2) that the finale involved THE ENTIRE SERVER BLOWING UP which not only signifies that these characters NEVER got a chance to heal but also ensured everyone excluding like c!Q and c!Wil NEVER COULD. Is fucking horrific and disgusting to me. 

and not to even talk about Dream as a person bc I have so many fucking thoughts about how all that makes the messaging surrounding power dynamics in the finale So much worse (and is the reason I have yet to watch the stream bc I will just trigger myself thinking about that). 

So fucking disgusting to see how the dsmp finale happened, with NO regards to the majority of other streamers, just Dream and whoever could mindlessly tag on that happened to have pretty big viewer counts (shocker), and completely throwing out the characters and the story that have been built for YEARS. Versus how streamers like Quackity and Wilbur handled things, INCLUSIVELY and COMPASSIONATELY and fucking EXCELLENTLY, in my opinion.

What's going on in the MCYT fandom?

OH GOLLY IM GLAD YOU ASKED. Content creator #1, Shelby talks about her past experiences with domestic abuse. some fans clock that she might be talking about wilbur soot, whose also a content creator. Wilbur tweets out an apology that doesnt really adress anything? Several of both shelby and wilburs friends (most also content creators) are like, damn wilbur you kinda suck. And thats that.

[featherdawn]

I've fucking cursed myself with an animatic idea that I never made and now any song that's about the way the internet fucks with ur psyche gets automatically associated with monika in my mind

[mumblesplash]

did u think Eret (dsmp) was herobrine bcus their character is related to herobrine

oh for real??? i honestly don’t know much of the lore outside what’s obvious from watching sad-ist’s animatics and i knew even less when i first heard about herobrine, i just thought he was some guy named bryan who was friends with ninja who, to be clear, i also assumed was a dsmp guy. i do not know how i arrived at any of these conclusions

[becaexists]

My DM refuses tell me anything about my character's future love interest other than he exists so I've been making passive comments like "oh wow this animatic of Caleb from Critical Role looks just like the type of guy Apate [my character] is into wow isn't that cool" and "wow aren't Arwen and Aragorn so cute in this edit I'd love to play out a dynamic like that" and she can't do shit about it because oh no I can't know anything about him!
