Ponk did a banger improvised speech in his stream yesterday (“Dream SMP—> Master Oogway shrine pt.93”), about 15 minutes in.

And I decided, as you do when your fave only feeds you crumbs of roleplay, to write a bit analyzing it (From this point on it’s all /rp)!!

Ponk starts by looking down the L’manburg crater and talking about the cycle of conflicts on the server. As one of the original eight members on the SMP he has been apart of most of it, even if sometimes neutral and from an outside perspective. Different to characters like Technoblade, he doesn’t view countries or governments as the root of said conflicts. Instead, it’s something more fundamental, basic - it’s civilization:

“Civilization is just a brutal cycle of destruction and corruption”

Before L’manburg, before any kind of power structure, there have been conflicts. The disc war, Ponks lemon trees burning - the only thing as constant as conflict on the Dream SMP is people living together in an area, trying to make it work.

“Out of corruption, friendship… you know what is born? New civilizations. And you know what happens in civilizations? Conflict”

This isn’t Ponk criticizing the concept of civilization, however. Ponk doesn’t distance himself from people in the way Techno or maybe Hbomb does, he still has attachments, his trees, pets, people, things he cares (or cared) about. Many of his builds are close to the main area. Ponk is a social character, I don’t see a reason to assume otherwise. He doesn’t criticize civilizations in general, but the ones present on the SMP right now. Because in Ponks eyes, there is only on leader fit to run.

“You see, the only man, who could run a civilization, died fighting for a civilization that he took under his wing”, Ponk says, “and he lays rest over there”

When Ponk zoomed onto Schlatts grave, it caught me off guard at first.

“can you sit still?” no but i can explain the entirety of the dream smp lore

Head in hands . We're all gonna be bloody hyperaware now

SOMEONE ON TWITTER POINTED OUT RANBOO WRITES CODES IN HIS INVENTORY. IM NOT FUCKING JOKING.

THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY ITEM STARTING FROM TOP LEFT

^^^ good post.

so people on tiktok are using the bit of the 100k duel where techno got distracted by shearing the logs to baby both dream and techno now.... it’s not cute that dream was patient with him. its basic decency. it’s not sO sWeEt that dream just waited for techno and then started doing it too. they both have adhd. some people need to stop being shitty about that and actually listen when we say it’s hurtful and infantilizing when they act like neurodivergent ccs friends treating them normally is them being super patient or doing something extra. it’s literally just basic respect.

also there’s that clip of dream vocal stimming and people are fuckin praising george in comments for LETTING HIM???? and being patient with him?? again Basic Fuckin Respect. the first time i saw that clip i was like oh cool i do that too it’s nice seeing things some of my favorite youtubers do like that that i do that tend to annoy people and no ones getting mad at them for it :D and then i opened the comments to shit like ‘awwwww it’s so sweet of george to be so patient with him’ or ‘wow it’s so cute that george just lets him do that i’d get so annoyed’. and it’s just like. why. let people live.

and i really hope the type of people saying that shit don’t have nd friends because it’s horrible to be shit on for things you can’t control by friends.

you don’t have to understand exactly why it’s hurtful or rude to say things like that. just be respectful and stop fuckin praising ccs for the bare minimum respecting their friends. and stop treating ccs like fuckin children because they’re neurodivergent. just listen when people say it’s harmful.

ayo real quick psa, puffy just said on-stream that she doesn’t like it when people draw fanart of her with her dog because they passed away. she just isn’t comfortable with the reminder, make sure not to use that image if you’re making fanart!
