"history Repeats Itself"

"history repeats itself"

Something people on the dream smp know all too well. With the rule of two instead of three after events happen. With Las Navadas being the new l'manburg and Quackity becoming the next Dream being some of the most recent examples of this.

The fandom is filled with people referencing and making predictions based on things that repeat itself, sometimes even going as far back as tales from the smp. But something I don't think anyone pointed out, was that Tommy's exile was history repeating Tubbo's execution.

Hear me out here for a second. Dream takes the place of Schlatt in this instance, with Tubbo replacing technoblade and tommy replacing tubbo. "A person carrying out a terrible deed onto another person because they were pressured into it by a higher power" can technically describe both situations.

(This post gets long, so if you want more details, it's below the cut)

Tubbo exiled Tommy under dream's orders because he didn't want to put l'manburg at risk. Technoblade killed tubbo under JSchlatt's orders because he didn't want to put Pogtopia at risk. It's the same situation, but in different fonts.

Sure, people might say being exiled isn't as bad as losing a cannon life, but if you look at what tommy went through, I bet there's an argument out there saying that exile was worse. Even if Tubbo didn't know what he was doing to Tommy, everyone agrees that it's bad to exile people from places without good reason. Tubbo's reason though, was "I was pressured by Dream to keep L'manburg safe." Which is the same as Techno's reason, with just a few more words.

At the end of all this, I just wanted to point it out. I'm no theorist of the dream smp, but I just thought it was interesting. And I also find it interesting that Tommy is willing to forgive tubbo for what he did to him, but not techno. The guy who literally took him in, and gave him a bit of shelter from dream in the last bit of the exile.

"You followed what the government told you to do. That makes you as bad as the government Technoblade." Words from tommyinnit during his talk with techno at doomsday. By the same logic though, would that make tubbo as bad as dream? Obviously, no. Tubbo is not as bad as dream, that's just a stretch. But that just means techno isn't as bad as Jschlatt either.

All the characters are on a gray scale. None are truly black or white, but some of them are darker then others. I just want people to consider this, "coincidence" if you want to call it that, cause I think it's something interesting.

Sorry for the bit of c!tommy slander at the end. He's just not my cup of tea, and I'm definitely more on dream/techno's side, rather then l'manburgs. Anyway, remember your food, water and meds, and have a great day!

Mcc terms, cause I'm bored.

Cannon terms:

Captain's curse, in which Captain Sparkle's team came third consecutively in multiple mccs. Some people say that the curse is broken now because he came second, which is not third, while others say the curse is that the Captain is only come close to winning mcc but not winning it. All agree though, to break the curse, the captain must win.

Wilbur Glitching, where Wilbur Soot managed to glitch himself on the side of a block in rocket spleef and farmed points for his team. People have replicated the Wilbur glitch, but after the few times the admins let it fly, they now just ask that players not do it.

==========================

I can't think of any more "cannon" mcc terms, so I'm moving onto my own terms that I've made up for mcc. (Mainly about Grian, b/c that's who I watch, but add on your own streamers curses/repeated plays if you want to!

Wilbur strat: shown in mcc pride 2021, the wilbur strat is used in dodge bolt, where a player from one side runs as far up as they can on the court, and pretend to be with the other team to confuse them. Sometimes acquiring arrows from the opposing team happens, but it is rare in a 4v4 dodgebolt.

Philza's rule: if you dont know where to go, follow Philza, the creator of minecraft who know all about the game. Specifically in Ace Race apparently though.

Grian curse 1: same as the captain's. He will never win an mcc. No matter what team hes on.

Grian's curse 2: possibly not a curse yet, but every team Grian is on in mcc, it will always be a 5 person team. With one person needing to leave during the event, and then having another person tag in for the missing.

Grian's strat: follow Fruity B (fruit berries) in TGTTOSAWAF

The hermit trend: hermits just get paired with speed runners all the time. That's it.

Guess what? I managed to make some more art! Color scheme is outside of what I'm used to, but I think it works! :)

Yes Wilbur. give Ranboo a burger van and THEN hes the fucking menace.

I've been playing Shining Nikki a lot, and like the dress up feature! So here's some outfits I'm proud of!

Reminder for MCC because its tomorrow!

Mcc is a FUN event. It is not competitive, and at most, only a coin and bragging rights are on the line for most creators. (Sapnap and Punz are the exception in mcc15)

I've noticed some toxicity to creators after the last few Mccs, and I just wanted to remind everyone to:

Dont go after Scott Smajor or the Noxcrew if something goes wrong, and your streamer gets affected by it. It was not intentional, and they DID NOT TARGET your streamer on purpose.

Dont go after any creators. That's common sense. They are all friends and dont want to see their friends being harassed.

Support the new comers! If you still dont know who to watch this mcc, try out 5up's Antfrost, or Ranboo's perspective!

Last but not least, have fun! Be nice and spread positivity to whoever your going to watch. Remember your water, meds, and food. Have a great rest of your day and the best of luck to all the creators out there who are going to play in Mcc!
