The Eggpire - Tumblr Posts

So the banquet all i gotta say is get bestie, haha but no in all seriousness this arc has to be one of my favourites this is the frist arc on the sever i was ever really invested in I'm so proud of everyone in this arc ,i can't wait to see where this arc goes next (here's hoping the redvelvet egg theory is right)

The red banquet was actually really funny when you think about it. Cuz it was just like ah but we have our own surprise.

Eggpire: we're going to kill you

Guests: ah but we have our own surprise we have weapons in this here chest

Eggpire: ah but we have our own surprise we have a traitor on our side

Guests: ah but we have our own surprise we have bombs

Eggpire: ah but we have our own surprise the egg is resistant to bombs

Guests: ah but we have our own surprise we can smite the egg with lighting

Eggpire: ah but we have our own surprise the egg is to powerful for your puny lighting and we're executing you

Guests: ah but we have our own surprise we have the three most powerful people on the server on our side and an angry sheep lady

Eggpire: well sh*t.

Meanwhile Ranboo watching this whole thing from the rafters: *insert random endermen sounds that probably mean something*

Also, if the Eggpire story ends with Phil actually eating The fucking Egg

1) I wouldn’t be surprised

2) I will be 100% done

Heyyyy so I have a question for the fandom, I know people talk about this a lot but really, which faction on the Dream SMP would you join? It can be any faction whether it is active, disbanded, destroyed etc.

I can say with (almost) no doubt that I would join The Eggpire purely because it sounds like fun! (also if it gives you what you want then, yes please)

(I’m definitely not asking this because I am sleep deprived :] )

(Also don’t hate on people for their opinions)

EDIT: Okay purely because that’s a funny as fuck response, Puffy’s therapy office does count (even though it’s not technically a faction, just cause it’s funny)

Holy hell... The Egg...

What was that...

Sooooo I watched Bad’s lore stream

One of the great things about the Dream SMP is that there are multiple characters who fit into common character tropes/character genres for example C!Captain Puffy is a paragon. But we get to see them from other perspectives. From most character perspectives Dream’s solely a villain but from Phil’s he’s the (more) morally dubious ally you really shouldn’t trust.

Most interestingly in my opinion is how Badboyhalo plays an archetypical tragic hero to a T. The most important factor of a tragic hero is a fatal flaw that is fatal because of the story they’re in. Take the classic example of if Hamlet and Othello switched stories neither would be tragedies as Hamlet would overthink everything Iago said and do through elaborate hoops to see if Desdemona was truly guilty while if the ghost of his father told him to kill Othello would simply do it. Bad’s fatal flaw is his undying all consuming love for Skeppy but it wouldn’t be a fatal flaw if he was in any other situation. Bad wouldn’t have given in if anyone but Skeppy had been corrupted. If Skeppy hadn’t been corrupted Bad would’ve had no real interest to experiment with the Egg or try to find a cure that would lead him down the dark path of freeing it.

Another aspect of tragic heroes (though not required) is for their actions to be misunderstood by others due to their own flaws. Romeo’s good cheer was misunderstood by Tybalt which resulted in Mercutio’s death or how Romeo thought Juliet was actually dead when she was simply under the last few minutes of a poison. Similar to everyone around Bad assuming he gave himself up for the promise of power out of their own flaws, Puffy taking things a little too at face value and not applying other information or Quackity’s projecting of his own trauma and reasonings onto Bad.

Tragic heroes are also often warned against going down the past that leads to their doom that they ignore due to their flaw. Oedipus was warned against seeking out a cause of the plague ailing Thebes even after the oracle warned him it wouldn’t change anything but his stubbornness wouldn’t let him leave it alone. Caesar was warned against going to the Senate on the Ides of March by his wife but his pride wouldn’t let him listen. Puffy tried to sway Bad away from attempting to heal Skeppy, something that she thought was a hopeless endeavor, but Bad’s undying love for Skeppy refused to let him leave his best friend alone in pain.

Interestingly Bad, and the egg plot at large, fall into another common trope of Shakespearian tragedy specifically collateral damage. Ophelia was collateral of Hamlet’s overthinking. Porcia was an unseen victim of specifically Brutus’s hand in Caesar’s assassination. Mercutio didn’t half to die. Antfrost and Punz didn’t half to be corrupted. They’re collateral of Bad’s grief filled choice to give himself over and free the egg. He manipulates them into helping him free it leading to their possession.

Ranboo's stream's reversed audio is "traitor" "you help dream" "dont trust anyone" and "dont trust yourself"
