I Read This Aloud To My Sister. She Responded With Dumbledora The Explora

I read this aloud to my sister. She responded with “Dumbledora the Explora”

Q!FELPS FULL NAME

I saw a YouTube clip of Fit finding Pac imprisoned and them talking for a bit.

why is no one on Tumblr talking about that? I haven’t checked if Fit appeared in Tazercraft’s prison/ escape stream

This is so beautiful and cute

I highly recommend including the tags “qsmp goddess lore” or “q!lore” to avoid confusion. Since “qsmp lore” is used for, obviously, the story lore. This idea was suggested by another Tumblr user.

wtf is this I'm hearing about a code attack impersonating Dapper???

I don’t watch Ranboo. I heard they’re funny and cool. Once mistook him as a someone in his early 20s when he was still a minor in that video. (Because of the suit, voice, body size, and them mentioning “zoom classes”.)

I don’t know anything about Generation Loss.

BUT I have watched MatPat for years and I love seeing people of certain fandoms getting frustrated with this so-called expert analysis getting everything wrong about a certain piece of media.

I feel your frustration. I been there! I felt it in his HTTYD theory video, his Hazbin Hotel/ Helluva Boss video. I saw the same frustration in the Hollow Knight fandom, the Undertale fandom, maybe another I’m missing.

and I agree with the other Rebloggers. i agree with the sentiment of "MatPat, did you even watched the darn thing???" I don’t think he actually watches the content. That or he’s extreme cherry picking.

I have so many complaints about him. I don’t mind when he talks history and science. But predicting and analyzing like an English Literature teacher, he’s so bad at it.

I don't hate him, I heavily critique his works. not online, more to myself. But if he actually does something extremely drastic , then i will come out and say "I hate him." I do hate his ego and the size of it.

A list of (almost) everything MatPat got wrong about GenLoss:

"Generation Loss is an ARG." Generation Loss is actually quite transparent about not being an ARG. It has elements similar to an ARG, such as audience interaction, but there is a clear barrier between the story/characters and real life. One of the defining features of an ARG is the lack of this barrier.

"Ranboo is the Founder and orchestrated the entire show from start to finish."

"The teasers ask the audience to kill the Founder, and the finale ends with the audience voting to kill Ranboo, implying they are the same person." It was heavily foreshadowed that there are many generations to come, and also confirmed by cc!Ranboo several times. Killing the Founder in Generation 1 wouldn't make sense. That, and just because Ranboo died doesn't automatically prove that he's the Founder.

"Ranboo always makes choices that keep the performance on track." He is being controlled to do so. One of the very first details you can possibly notice in the series is that when the mask comes on, Ranboo is not in control of his actions.

"Ranboo doesn't participate in searching [in ep 2]." The Showfall announcement on twitter says that interactive elements are limited on episode 2, giving Ranboo no commands or agency of his own to actually help other than the limited audience polls. also the mask was reset in episode 2, placing him under even stricter control.

"Ranboo knows what is happening and will do anything to keep the show going." Since the very beginning teasers, Ranboo has been labeled The Hero. This name alone makes it obvious that Showfall has intended for Ranboo to be the protagonist, and thus the one that makes it to the end. Again, he's under control- even if he knows what's going to happen, none of his reactions or choices were truly his.

"Ranboo locked Sneeg in the basement, that's how he knows Sneeg was there for 6 months." There's no evidence that Sneeg actually was there for 6 months, given that the cabin is canonically just a set that they use. All we have to go on for this is a throwaway line (which GenLoss is full of throwaway lines). And Ranboo somehow "knowing" how long Sneeg was there isn't a direct implication of guilt, again considering that it's the set of a show.

"The Puzzler is scared of Ranboo." The Puzzler is the Bad-At-Being-A-Villain archetype. Him going "woops sorry" when he almost accidentally kills Ranboo is not him being "scared" of Ranboo. It's him being the goofy villain that Showfall wrote him to be. (Sidenote: Interesting that Matpat was implying that Jerma may have flubbed some lines, when the entire point of his character was to be as incompetent as possible. Saying the wrong thing was kind of... the point of the character.)

"Ranboo believes he is doing everything to help humanity." Yeah he lost me there. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

"Ranboo's death was staged" I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt. He may not have actually died, or he may have been brought back, but it's not because he was actually the one behind it all.

"The cooking show cutaways prove that Ranboo is still alive." The cooking show cutaways are obviously prerecorded, even in-universe. You have to consider that even in-universe this is still a live show. They would've had to have been prerecorded anyway. Even if these cutaways had been filmed after the fact for a prerecorded show, the cutaways still could've been recorded between episodes, as canonically there was a day in between each episode (where it's implied that characters go into an idle state).

Using cc!Ranboo's explaination about the rerecorded/remastered aspects of the Founder's Cut as evidence that gl!Ranboo is manipulating the footage. This would be a very interesting take on the idea and definition of Generation Loss as a concept, however cc!Ranboo has stated many times before that the Founder's Cut is solely to get past the limitations of the live setting. It also would not make sense that gl!Ranboo would be the one manipulating the footage, but we're too deep down the "Ranboo Is The Founder" rabbit hole to talk about that.

"The Founder's Cut will replace the original VODs, slowly changing the details until a distorted copy is left." Again, cool concept. But Ranboo has already confirmed that this is not the direction that the series is going. The VODs will still be up and the Founder's Cut is not meant to replace them, just make them easier to watch.

Conclusion: MatPat focuses too much on throwaway lines, in-universe jokes, and whiteboards, and ignores blatant visual clues such as the mask, morse code, and... just about everything really... for 16 minutes.

Another song suggestion for the qsmp fandom... Control by Halsey

Fits anyone who was associated with the Federation. q! jaiden, q! cellbit, etc. Maybe alll of them. Look at the opening lyrics:

" They send me away to find them a fortune A chest filled with diamonds and gold "

Other lyrics:

"I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead"

"And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me" I can't help this awful energy God damn right, you should be scared of me"
