Ingo, noticing a pothole in the road up ahead: To the left.

Emmet, without missing a beat: Take it back now y'all.

Emmet: (hits the pothole dead-on)

This may be a hot take, but online flag and label discourse doesn't actually help the community. If anything it just takes attention away from actual queer issues and exemplifies yt queer privilege.

actually, i don’t just want there to be no angst around phil and techno’s friendship, i firmly don’t think their relationship needs it.

i don’t think their friendship should be tested. i don’t think there should be drama between them and whether or not it’s ultimately resolved holds no sway on my opinion there. 

there’s plenty of relationships of all sorts with angst and drama on the smp. there’s plenty of friendships with angst in media in general. 

phil and techno’s friendship doesn’t need to be tested, it doesn’t need to change or grow. it’s perfectly fine to just have a regular friendship! and in media, where everything is so angst heavy, it’s nice and comforting and shouldn’t have drama thrown in when it’s not even needed.

I know a lot of this is probably restating things other people have said but I just want to sort of summarize my thoughts on stuff.

1. C!Wilbur lying to C!Philza in his letters.

Okay, so there’s a lot of discussion on why C!Wilbur lied in his letters, and I would say that at least personally, I don’t see the lies as intentionally malicious. To me, and many others I’ve noticed, it feels more like C!Wilbur desperately needing his father to be proud of him and fearing disappointment, so he lied to make what happened sound better. Also, it makes sense that he never brings up his own health or asks for help, because no matter how much someone cares about you it can feel like you can’t tell them you’re suffering. C!Wilbur’s mental state wouldn’t let him ask for help, not even from his father. Overall, C!Wilbur only wanted to make his dad proud and never intended for there to be such severe consequences from his lies.

2. C!Philza and C!Techno talks about the DSMP history

This seems like a more controversial one, as people are pretty split on responsibility and outcomes. I do not think it’s fair to say that C!Techno manipulated C!Philza or deliberately omitted parts of what happened with Pogtopia. I said this as a reblog elsewhere, but for all we know C!Philza never asked C!Techno about L’Manburg or Pogtopia because he had no reason to. C!Philza was stunned to realize C!Wilbur lied to him, so why wouldn’t he believe that he has the full story when he first shows up to the DSMP? Then, if C!Philza mentions C!Wilbur’s letters, why would C!Techno have any reason to believe that C!Philza isn’t caught up on the accurate events of the server? Neither of them have any real reason to think the letters are full of lies. Add in C!Techno’s ADHD, and not only would he not want to bring up uncomfortable conversations of his own volition, but he would easily just not think to discuss it at any point or check if C!Philza is actually caught up on what went down.

C!Philza and C!Techno are old friends and even completely thrown off, I don’t see C!Philza blowing up at C!Techno. C!Philza would absolutely hear C!Techno out on his side of the story and be patient with him.

So yeah, a bit of rambling but just wanted to summarize my own thoughts on all the new lore. Hope this makes sense!

if you haven't read passerine on ao3 by blujamas, i can't stress enough how much you need to. it's an sbi au fic and it's literally so well written it's insane. it's also INSANELY sad but really really good, and it has some sweet sweet found family.

here's the link, it's a long one but so, so worth it. there is character death in case you aren't a fan of that though!

I SO WANNA SEE QUACKITYS&TECHNOS PERSPECTIVE of them coming together and realising they need to get rid of the egg

Like they’re all standoffish but they realise they need each other for the greater good

Ergh maybe apologising to each other about the hurt they’ve caused each other *wink wink*

[theratk1ng]

okay yeah i’m gonna focus on techno here for a second even though everyone was so amazing but like….

this moment was such a clear indication of the kind of person techno is! his ideals come first! he focused on the clearest threat to people having free will and he went after that, even if it meant teaming with quackity, his enemy, someone who tried to kill him and threaten his horse. 

because that doesn’t matter to techno. 

what he believes matters. and he’s willing to do whatever he needs to in order to back that up.
