A scene from Chapter 12 of Tango's Castle of Cards by @evilrat-sabre

Go read it! It'll make you laugh, It'll make you cry, maybe it'll make you do a little dance of joy!

A close up with a softer light to it that I enjoy quite a bit!

god i fucking love your artstyle /pos

Kalim's tsum vignette was fun (I lost my mind multiple times)

god i love tumblr

Watch them crash and burn in slowmotion

rebloging to remind myself to Expand on my oc(s) because this shit is awesome :D

I made another boy (months ago). It’s not as fanciful or nice as Emilio’s post, but this is Cecil Mugwort 🌿 Twisted from Cedric the Sorcerer from “Sofia the First.” Apologies for my handwriting.

When I watched that dang show making a twst Cedric was always on the back-burner as kinda a joke idea, but it never actually came to fruition with flying colors ‘till I learned NRC sophomores share a room with one other person. Then came the painful question of “oh god can u imagine how miserable Silver’s roommate must be with all those dang alarm clocks-“ THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE USELESS SOFIA KNOWLEDGE CAME FLOODING BACK—

The amount of shenanigans that can fit into this rat is insane (so much so I couldn’t fit it here). I hope u like him as much as I’ve been quietly invested in the background the last gajillion months.

Ko-fi💕

I don’t think we talk about the grown up versions of the misfit class from chapter 198 enough

I'm seeing a lot of anxiety posting about the qsmp and yeah I that the people that post are in the heat of the moment but I say instead of digging yourself into a pit of negativity and dragging others along with you.

Take a moment, close your eyes breath in....and breath out.

Anyways welcome to a hope post, our brains are wired to think negatively but I think that the qsmp still has a chance. Quackity messed up but we still have hope.

There is still a chance, and all we can do is hope. Relax a bit, whatever suits you.

I'm sure that the admin situation will be handled responsible by lawyers but right now, all we should do is hope.

I'm seeing a large amount of anxiety posting or doomposting here tonight so I'm just gonna take this opportunity to remind everyone here that it's okay to feel that way but if it ever gets too much, it's okay to just walk away.

Even just for a little bit, close the tab and go get a drink of water or just take a minute to yourself.

Don't feel obligated to interact with anything that causes you to feel stressed out.

It's okay to be optimistic about the situation in the same way that it's okay to be more critical. Unfortunately in the grand scheme of things, we don't have all the answers or the knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes, we won't know how things are happening until it's publicly announced.

The dismissal of the update account admins isn't really something that any of us wanted to hear had happened but it's at least a sign that things are actually being done behind the scenes.

Even if it may not seem like much it's at a small piece of proof that the admin funding issues are being addressed. Of course it unfortunately meant that it was revealed that they couldn't afford to keep the updates accounts admins but it's a small modicum of knowledge that they're at least looking into funding admins behind the scenes.

It's still frustrating not knowing what's going on and being left in the dark but ultimately there's nothing we can do except wait for news from an official source.

If I'm being honest stopped really watching as much Qsmp since the admin break, I've watched a couple past vods here and there and obviously I still watch Bad everyday (it's literally a part of my daily routine at this point) but I've not really been marathoning povs like I used to.

The admins were the life of the server and without them it just feels wrong, I was remaining hopeful while I watched Bad play on the server but his statement about reaching his limit today sorta hit.

Because yeah, I've reached a limit too.

I still love Bad and my other cubitos but the server right now just isn't hitting the same. So I'm gonna take my own advice and step back from the content and its fandom for a little bit.

Ultimately there's nothing I can do to help the situation at all and contributing my thoughts on something I have no real knowledge of just isn't really helping anyone.

I'm not getting overwhelmed by the doomposting or anything, I'm just choosing to distance myself for a little bit.

Although I do have qBads backstory to thank for reminding my old Ancient Mythology special interest from years ago which has overpowered my recent Qsmp fixation, so at least my brain has something to do while I take my little Qsmp break for a day or two :)

(Please note: I am only going to speak about things that are verifiable, either by Lea, who we know for a fact at this point was an admin, or by our own observations, like hearing what's happening on certain streams, or other verifiable announcements. I don't want to talk too much on things outside of that because it could technically be speculation, and I don't want to mislead anyone. I will do my best to state what is and isn't speculation in order to keep confusion to a minimum. I'm also going to remain as impartial as possible, and only provide facts as they've been presented to us. This is basically just meant to be to organize some of the things going on into one post so that people who aren't on Twitter can get a good idea of what's going on instead of just hearing it from people who keep vaguely doom-posting)

So as has been the case for the last couple weeks, the Admin Situation continues to unfold. In a manner of speaking, at least

Since Quackity made his initial statements, we haven't gotten any sort of concrete news from him, or even an acknowledgement that things are still developing. Like I've said in my previous post, I haven't been expecting any concrete updates, since that sort of thing would most likely be sensitive information that he legally can't share. However, I do find it disheartening that he has continued moving forward without so much as acknowledging the situation

I do understand that a lot of current plans have been in the works for a while now, and couldn't be pushed back that far without detrimentally affecting other people, including the new streamers who likely carved out large chunks of their schedule out specifically for QSMP. So keeping the server closed for too long could have easily had negative effects on many people, including the Admins. But I want to say that I just don't know everything going on behind the scenes, and this isn't fact. It's just what I understand to be happening

And while we still haven't gotten any official statements regarding the Admins since Quackity's statement, things have still been happening, most of which we are probably never going to hear about. Some of which though, we are hearing, and it's not sounding that great, unfortunately

Do keep in mind however, that the following is just what we're hearing about, and because of the NDAs in place, we likely CAN'T hear about anything else, including any potential positive changes that might be taking place. We still aren't going to hear about any changes until they're concrete. This has only been taking place for a couple of weeks, and none of the changes can be made immediately. With that in mind, here's some of the verifiable information that has been making the rounds recently

As I've stated before, the French Union has gotten involved, and by this point, has stated that the Admins CAN potentially pursue legal action if they so choose. However, I want to emphasize that this doesn't mean legal action is guaranteed. This just means they have the OPTION to do so. Which by the sounds of things, it doesn't seem like anyone wants to do that as of right now. This is essentially just one more thing to give leverage to the Admins, letting them and Quackity know that they have that right. But if things can improve, they don't need to take them

(Link to their English post here)

As of now, one of the higher-ups in Quackity Studios, Jose, has been tweeting out that he is speaking with other Admins/Ex-Admins about everything going on, and gathering testimony in a document to present to Quackity. Last we heard, he was still gathering testimony and speaking to lawyers to ensure that everything he was doing was legal. And that as of now, organizing a meeting with Quackity himself has been a little difficult, I believe for scheduling reasons, as well as the fact that he's still gathering information (I was actually hoping to wait until this document was out to make another post about all this, but people keep acting like things are only going downhill, and I wanted to go ahead and give my two cents)

(Links to his posts can be found here and here)

We have also heard about 2 Admins quitting in the last couple days. Pancks, who was the roleplayer behind Agent 18 and Xaninho the Capybara, as well as other Portuguese-speaking NPCs. He has not given a clear reason for quitting aside from the fact that he feels he is done with this chapter of his career and wants to do other things. He has also asked us not to speculate his reason for leaving, which I am going to respect

(Link to his post here)

The other Admin who quit is a writer named Ana, who put out a statement saying that she was removed from most of her roles without being given a clear reason, while other writers still retain theirs. She states that her main reason for leaving is the lack of communication since things have gone down, which is not a great sign

(Link to her post here and her document here)

Lastly, we know that merch is currently being announced. So far we have 4 standees of the Eggs, Dapper, Trump, Leo(?), and Pomme, and will probably get more in the next few days. I want to point out that it's incredibly unlikely for this to have ONLY been started for the current situation. I'm personally assuming it was originally meant to be for the 1-Year Anniversary of QSMP starting, but has been pushed forward slightly to help raise funds for everything going on. Organizing merch production usually takes a while, which is the only reason I'm assuming that this isn't just coming out of nowhere

To wrap up, things haven't resolved yet. And that makes sense

Reorganizing an entire business takes time, even for people who are experienced in that sort of thing. But from what I understand, Quackity is not, and that's likely what led to this situation in the first place. Anyone trying something this big is bound to mess up, and unfortunately, this just happens to be a VERY big mess-up. Not too big to fix, but big enough to be difficult. And while we are hearing about some negative things happening, I want to remind everyone ONCE AGAIN, that we will not know anything until it's concrete, good or bad. The people speaking up don't seem to be doing so with any ill will, and many of them still seem to see QSMP as a positive experience overall. Just one that needs to be improved upon for the better of everyone involved. Right now, I'd say the main problem is, once again, communication. It's unfortunate that people keep bringing up how they haven't heard about anything going on, and that is very understandable. It's hard being kept in the dark on something like this, especially for people who were actually personally involved prior to this

The Admins/Ex-Admins have every right to be impatient on this because they're the ones being impacted the most. Because they've likely been patient for far longer than we have, and know a lot more about what's happening. That's why Lea has been doing her best to be vocal and support the current Admins and pressure Quackity Studios, even with the harassment she's apparently getting for doing so

But for us, who are simply viewers, just doom-posting and assuming the worst won't help. (AND NEITHER WILL HARASSING PEOPLE) Yes, we should be vocal in our support for the people affected, but there will be a point where shouting into the void is gonna be more detrimental than helpful. I believe that by now, we've gotten our point across. That Quackity and Quackity Studios know that we don't want to support a project that has to take advantage of people to keep it running. I'm not saying to let everything go completely. I would personally advise that people who want to should stay as educated as possible, and help educate anyone who wants to know what's going on

But if this is still affecting your mental and emotional well-being, stepping back and waiting to see what happens is probably the best move you can make. Spreading outright negativity won't help you, and it won't help the other people involved. I know that sometimes not knowing things can cause a lot of anxiety. Heck, that's why I make these posts, so I can help other people know what's going on. But other times, it can be entirely counterproductive. It's why I try not to doom-scroll through most social media in general, because I know that sometimes knowing more just means having more to worry about. It's up to you guys to find the balance that helps you, and I hope you all take care of yourselves in spite of everything going on

the negitivity people have on this situation isn't unexpected, but i wish people would have faith in the man. if it ends up falling through i will eat my words- but Quackity is TRYING some of the statements QSMP updates admins have released prove that. something is changing, Q Studios is downsizing and its for a good reason.

HAVE FAITH FOR ONCE PLEASE

/gen

i know everyone really appreciates me being level headed and reasonable about the admin situation. i am, however, Having A Time Of It for entirely unrelated reasons. so, i invite you, the people of tumblr, to take up my cross. be level headed! don't panic! come up with an explanation of events that acknowledges that things are fucked and real people have been hurt and that hurt will need to be redressed, but doesn't expect a catastrophic implosion or believe one has already occurred because one man hasn't been able to completely rebuild a company from the ground up in like two weeks. i know y'all can do it. i believe in y'all.

i will block anyone who doomposts in my notes this is a strictly doomposting free zone

that doesn't mean i think quackity is doing perfectly or there are no problems that still need fixing

i don't think it would be just Pac and Ramon he would pull out either. according to Tubbo he has his last will stored in his arm too, so while he would be mourning the potential loss of a parent and partner for Pac and Ramon, he would also mourn the potential loss of a best friend which is Tubbo.

Hi it's me again on my bed thinking

We know Fit’s prosthetic arm is where he stores data and pictures, so there's a 99.9% he has pictures of Pac and Ramón there.

Do you think, while sitting in that cave surrounded by corpses, he pulls the broken remains of his arm and opens the pictures to stare at them? Do you think he smiles painfully as he stares at the pictures of his family? Of Ramón playing with the fireflies? Of Pac concentrated on his builds? Of the two of them riding a camel?

Do you think he cries? Do you think his eyes well up with tears as he looks at pictures of the two people he loves on the island? Do you think he wonders if they're okay? Do you think he keeps scrolling through the pictures every hour every day?

RICHIE RE-DESIGN

for anyone new, this is my version of the player!!

was thinking about it- didn't like his design much tbh. i kept forgetting the vest when drawing it (as you might be able to tell)

so i updated it!! so as of 08/03/2024 you'll see this Richie in the comic!!

LETS GOOO I CALLED IT MONTHS AGOOOO

Can we make it a canon head-cannon that foolish and bad are really fucking old, and they’ve known each other for centuries, so when they bump into each other, it’s not “oh it’s nice to see you again!” It’s “why the fuck are you still alive.” but they trust each other more than anything.

ex-dsmp fan that was primarily a part of techno's voices, the fans were SO BAD- not nearly to the level as dsmp. while there are some similar aspects- there were thing the dsmp fandom did that pissed me off to no end- can't remember much from back then but i remember the fandom pissed me off so much ;,)

“qSmP iS aS bAd aS tHe dSmP”

no, it isn’t. as an ex-dsmp fan who watched solely bc i fucking loved (and still love) c!benchtrio, that fandom was a hellhole and a half. fandom fights were common, and dream himself just didn’t know how to actually manage his fanbase. hell, he STILL doesn’t from what i’ve seen

the qsmp is actually trying to fix the problems within the server and fanbase. all the ccs make boundaries explicitly clear, and all support each other. however, they aren’t afraid to call out their own fanbases when they’re being shitty (ex: fit making fun of a chatter when they were metagaming, something that he explicitly says NOT to do). they’re also not afraid to call EACH OTHER OUT on shit, which is so fucking refreshing.

anyways, stop doomsday posting. the qsmp is not ending just because a union, WHO’S PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT WORKERS, got involved. it is their job to be suspicious of quackity, but other ccs and even the admins themselves have made it CLEAR that they support quackity bc they knows he’s a good guy. he fucked up, but that doesn’t make him any less of a good guy.

anyways, sending my love to the qsmp fandom <3 tenha um bom dia :D
