Okay this is a wildly stupid comment, sorry in advance, but I would like to thank you for making this video. The ending helped me more than you can know (and, yes, I am drawing while watching. Haha). So I figure you probably won't read this, but thank you.
hey!! i edit for Technodad, and i just wanted to say that 3:00:54 made me cry my eyes out. you captured our message and goal by continuing Techno's legacy so beautifully, well done and amazing video!!
@SleepingRightNow12 shed also admited that she lied about it being noncon, and one gf tried to say she gor SA at a bar durring a time bars were infamously closed thants to the gov and a world wide sickness. 💀
@@unmotivatedartistry i mean shelby changed her story in a conviently now deleted stream, though clip of her nlw saying it was fully consentually exist, sonlike her word against yours
One thing I will always tell myself is that Alex died never knowing that his friends would end up in controversy, and that is a good thing, he died believing that his friends were good people, that he left this world on a positive outlook on the people he associated with… Fly high king o7 Technoblade never dies (Edit spelling mistake because I was crying, he left a big impact on my life)
Man. I never thought about that - there’s a bitterness to that discovery. I never watched Technoblade or the DSMP, but I remember seeing super cool animations about Techno and watching parts of his videos after he passed, and I can absolutely see how he touched the hearts of so many. I am sorry for your loss. 🤍 Technoblade never dies.
absolutely adored your take on cringe. It doesn't matter if something, or even *someone* is "cringe", what matters is that they're good to others, and i think harassing people for being cringe is just the opposite of that.
I'm so tired of people being genuine and earnest being labelled as "cringe" As if some neurodivergent teenager enjoying something they like is inherently "wrong" in some way, and then going forward to harass them about that is the "right" thing to do I just want to let people enjoy what they like. I want people to be able to be genuine without being called cringe all the time
I agree. Someone’s “cringe” may be someone’s special interest - something that is dear to their hearts. We all have something that we absolutely love and it’s disheartening for someone else to dismiss it as unlikeable or disgusting.
I hate how people just label other people's tastes as "cringe" but probably their tastes would also be cringe to others, they act like they are more mature and correct, But it would also hurt them if you criticized their tastes and called them "cringe" about something that in the long run makes them happy.
@@ed_cmntonly the commentary channels got really bad recently, especially slop tubers and bread tubers. It feels like they don't research as much as they should usually.
first time actually seeing clips of the roleplay segments n wow every single one of them plays like a beginners improv class comprised exclusively of people who think shouting makes you a good actor
every clip with more than two people is absolutely fucking unintelligible I am Begging these people to not constantly yell over one another in the IMPORTANT PLOT MOMENTS on their STORY DRIVEN SERVER
@@nolwen.n oh don’t get me wrong I’d expect that from Most minecraft rp servers but dsmp was one of the most popular fandoms on the internet for a while seemingly because of story reasons. so it’s very confusing to learn just how poorly delivered said story was on a technical level
@@CH3R.N0BY1 i think it was anything most teenagers listened to in 2020? i remember mother mother, the neighborhood, penelope scott, and arctic monkeys were some artists under that category.

The "dsmp music" funny enough, was literally ANYTHING used in popular dsmp art or media. From the fan songs to the Minecraft soundtrack to the songs used in ANIMATICS. It was hilarious rhe first time because people who had no assocation with the server suddenly flooded with dsmp brands or music recommendations
I am 27 years old, was a grown adult struggling through an office job during 2020, did not watch a single bit of this debacle while it occured. I put this on to listen to while working that same office job on a rough day, and ended up sniffling at the end of it. I want to compliment your passion and way with words, and your empathy regarding the topics you cover. Lovely video, great job!
Techno and Tommy are the only ones in the entire server to not be involved in some controversy is proof that not everyone is automatically some terrible person with skeletons in their closet and something to hide
While I am no longer a fan of wilbur for... obvious reasons - his character in the DSMP will always have a special place in my heart. In my senior year of highschool he was my comfort character (as embarrassing as that is to say) and I have so many paintings of him still from my art class that year that I can't bring myself to throw away. I'll always enjoy revivebur's design, arc and fan made creations - I wish his creator hadn't turned out to be such a bad person in real life
And I watched a video of someone talking about how hurt they were about William’s actions and they were telling them that it was all going to be okay and “you got this” but I could tell that they didn't really believe that because of how unconfident and hurt they sounded. It's sad to see much people were affected by that it’s just horrible all around.
Personally, I think one of the final nails in the coffin of Dream Smp was Technoblade’s death. From what I remember, one of his few final streams was building some sort of library somewhere on the Dream Smp server, seemingly planning some sort of storyline with it. This library, to my knowledge, was never finished, as cancer got to Techno before he could finish it. After that, I never really paid attention to Dream Smp anymore, mainly letting it die in my mind as a memory of Techno’s streams and how much fun I had following his perspective. I really only watched this video because of mild curiosity about how the main storyline ended, and because I wanted to simply pay my respects to my favorite minecraft youtuber who unfortunately passed prematurely. Sometimes I still think of him and how fun his videos are sometimes, and I think that will stay true until the end of either the internet, or until his videos completely disappear off the face of it. And that is why I believe Technoblade will never die.
There’s something tragic about that library, and his untold stories for the Dream SMP. He said that when he fought in Minecraft Monday, it wasn’t just about clout, money, or glory he was looking for. He also saw the competition as an opportunity to seek others, interact with em, and make friends. When Minecraft Monday ended, that’s what he left with. Had Technoblade’s story on the SMP continued, I think it was Phil who said that Technoblade (the Character) was gonna fly off, find new governments to destroy, and return later… While someone else, “Cyberknife,” was gonna take his place. He was almost the opposite of Techno’s ideologies, as he was actually gonna be someone who absolutely loved governments. A funny excerpt on its own, but it’s also worth noting that after L’manberg’s chunk error, everyone who no longer had a country were building their own nations. Dude wanted to try and spend more time with others outside of his isolated Syndicate without being mortal enemies.
I remember crying when I heard Techno died. I didn't even follow the DreamSMP that much but I did enjoy his content. Condolences to the family, even all these years later.
2:01:47 okay as a certified Ranboo Viewer i can explain this one, though i'm going completely off of memory so i don't remember everything. ranboo had their own entire sideplot where they had memory issues. they kept a memory book (mentioned where dream revealed ranboo betrayed tubbo) where he would occasionally find things in there he did not write. my memory is fuzzy on the details but basically, it's revealed that ranboo is the one who blew up the community house (so dream could pin this on tommy) and ranboo concluded that he was working with dream but never remembered why or how (a fact which caused a lot of internal conflict and was the main point of their story). it's also revealed at some point that ranboo is the one that set off the explosions at the top of pandora's box, and sam deduced that fact and detained and locked up ranboo for it. TLDR ranboo was working with dream but because of memory problems never remembered it
I'm sitting here, using this video as my background noise while I complete a psychology report for my second degree. I'm thinking about being in my first degree, remembering online university that I endured only, in part, with the connection I felt to this fandom (and my amazing friends who tolerated me ranting and raving about this silly little block game). I've been meaning to make a dream smp recap myself and this video has definitely inspired me to go back and finish that at some point. And it also made me nearly cry. You captured that sense of nostalgia so beautifully, it made me remember why I loved this series so very much and why I miss it, despite everything. Thank you for this video!
Despite everything that’s happened I’m glad I got into the Dream Smp. It really helped during COVID and the fandom was fun and really creative (the non rabid fans that is). Also nothing will ever top watching Lmanburg blow up and then learning the US capital had a riot going on.
That was actually insane tho. Like I was fully depressed that L'Manburg was gone and my mom's like, "Did you see what just happened???" And I was like, "How did you know???"
Yeah,Me too. Even if some of the members are terrible,I can't deny the impact they had on me.They definitely saved me during a hard time. And also WHAT?! The US capital?,Can you give me some context?
@@ShikanoinKazoo look up january 6th capital riot, basically the candidate who lost claimed that the election was fraudulent and incited his supporters to take over the capitol bulding, while there were people inside it.
to add on to the ranboo stuff: another reason he's depicted as tall is because he's around 6'6" irl, and that black and white color scheme is from his mask that he wears when he's doing facecam. they used to wear glasses too because of facial dysmorphia but his dysmorphia got better and now they stream /w/out the galsses :D
Ranboo being “woke” in the background is hilarious 😭 Also please make a video on genloss! It’s a really cool series, and Ranboo is working on more content for it.
Ok so I got DSMP on Spotify, the obvious contributing artists were most likely Derivikat, Lovejoy, Wilbur Soot, and Dream, but I’m fairly certain the entirety of Lemon Demon ended up being lumped into that category because of Ranboo lmao
omg i remember that people on twitter used to get really mad at the fandom because thered be a song that people would associate with ccs or characters and it would become part of the dream smp category 😭😭😭
minor thing but: around 58:00 u say that the explosion is what takes cwil's 3rd canon life, but it was actually philza after wilbur begged him to kill him as far as i remember
@@Stranger-A-K yeah i saw that later 😭 i can imagine most people watching this are familiar with the dsmp but i still its probably confusing for those who arent is all
Surprisingly this video gave me the closure I didn't know I needed. While watching it I reflected on this period of my life, my mistakes and connections I made while beings in the fandom, the ambitions and plans, my life before it was changed by war (in Ukraine). What is even funny is the fact that the words "pumpkin duo" literally triggered Vietnam flashbacks about my first relationship 😂. As cringe as it may sound, this video helped me realize that I was a dumb kid during this era, that my decisions were not as bad as I thought they were, and that I matured and moved on after it. And it's fine. I don't know if you or anyone else would read it but all I want to say is thank you Quinnamon. Thanks for giving me the closure and chance to reflect I didn't know I needed. Thanks for helping me accept and let go of that part of my life.
Never talked so much and personal in comments before lol. Thanks to everyone who read it. If anyone is going through a similar thing I hope you'll be able to find that needed help in your life! Even if it's from a fnaf themed furry youtuber talking about Minecraft roleplay. Whatever it is sooner or later you'll be able to let go!
The last part you've written was so beautiful ... the memories, the nostalgia, the anger, the passion, everything ... your video made me smile and cry over the same time, the wonderful and warming words you told, our year 2020, the dream SMP, even if almost everything fell into pieces,, the lost of a creator, the lost of trust ... but the most important are our memories and time we all spend together watching, discussing, stretching and writing fanfics or theories, the new friendship I made through the SMP, that still hold even to this day, that's all that matters and that we're all still there and can laugh or cry about things ... like I'm doing right now ...
I used to be apart of the fandom; lemme tell you, as bad as it was at some points, I want to go back. Probably one of the best communities if you were in the right places i remember also having my old smp with my ex-friends, but otherwise, its lost media (except for one of my videos and a stream my brother did 3 years ago, which i just found yesterday) The DSMP community was just, something good and bad, however you saw it. I saw it good, i was massively invested, a good time of life.
Agreed, its really sad that whenever people think "dream smp" they think of all the obsessive, toxic fans. There were alot of nice people in the cringey, nostalgic community I used to be in.
Dsmp tumblr is like- the chilliest place to be in. There’s no judgment, there’s no hate, only a warm passion for a server we’ve loved for years. Hate it or love it, dsmp will always hold a special place in my heart
@@Terraio yeah! I met soooo many good artists and got into making my own art because of it. I would give much to go back and just be a dumb 15 year old sitting around during a pandemic again lmao
The ending to Dream SMP would be a lot cooler if it was Herobrine logging onto the server and complaining how the series had nothing to do with Minecraft.
I never watched DSMP, but I still wanted to understand it, and this video helped a lot. Also, that ending shook me to the core and almost made me cry. I'm still here. I don't know how long, but I'm here. For now.
I saw the wonderful animatics and fun lore. I went to watch it and all the cool moments: just a bunch of people riffing in Minecraft. It lost me instantly, but I liked seeing the good fan work around it.
Personally, I was a fan around 2020-2021. I really enjoyed the animations, plot, and fan songs. Was it cringe? Yeah, it definitely was, but at the time it helped me through covid, watching life streams of grown men roleplay fighting in wars in a silly block game. Was I a stan? No, I hated them. But overall I think the plot was ok. A majority of the people are horrible now though.
This was actually so perfect I watched this expecting to laugh at how ridiculous the Dream SMP was, mostly because of the thumbnail (since I came from a twitter laughing at the text over the eyes). What I got instead was a trip down memory lane and I really can't be any more grateful. I used to be super into this?? Entire ordeal. This story, the art, the community, all of this made me so happy. I was maybe 13? 14? It was one of the strongest driving forces for me to really take art seriously. I remember rushing home to catch a stream or staying up late to finish some fanart. I even animated a few things based off of DSMP!! It was nuts getting that comment from Technoblade and SAD-ist themselves, I remember being so surprised and freaking out over it haha I'm 17 now. I graduated high school and I'm going to college 2 days from now. Sometimes I forget why I create in the first place. So thank you for reminding me. That I create so that other people can experience the same joy I did. I needed something like this before taking another step into my artistic career :)
I'll be honest, after doomsday I almost exclusively just waited for the next Technoblade video come out, watch him play with his friends in dumb ideas because he was the only one that I thought was really down to earth, and when the uploads started slowing down and his cancer diagnosis was brought up, I was a bit scared and heartbroken when his father showed up to share the news with Techno's fans, rather heart wrenching, despite that I had absolutely never met the man, he inspired me to try and help others more than I usually do, help someone get from one place to another when they don't have the ability to, help my family just a little more. The man behind the pig avatar helped revive a random stranger's compacting heart, and I'll always remember him for that. The SMP was a fun ride, helped me get through the mundanity of working at, probably one of the worst jobs I've ever had to endure, every time a stream came up, it always managed to lift my spirits up, whether it was watching a bunch of dorks collect supplies for a mutiny or just watching them build out a little cottage out in the middle of nowhere, it was always the best part of my day.
As someone that’s had this Minecraft Roleplay as his special interest for 4 years, holy shit this hit me like a truck in the best way. Thanks for this, man. Genuinely.
A little correction and expansion when it comes to Ranboo's current career and generation loss, as a current active member of the community: Genloss was not inspired by the Walten files, I don't know where you got that information from, maybe it's just that they're both online ARG-ish horror projects? Generation Loss: The Social Experiments(which was the first real project and where the footage you used in the video comes from) is a lot more SAW-inspired and had cameos from other creators like Jerma, Slimecicle, Sneegsnag, and more. The project is still ongoing and we're getting new stuff somewhat frequently! The more ARG-aspect of it has only started recently. I recommend anyone who likes SAW and Horror to watch Generation Loss: The Founders cut for a fully edited version of the social experiments. The community is still going strong and a lot of the currently active members are people who have been there since the DSMP! Ranboo has talked a lot about how, while they're grateful for the opportunity the DSMP gave them, they were mentally unwell and unhappy during those first few years (mostly 2020-2022). They were closeted and felt like they had to appeal to their audience by making their voice deeper and playing into the family-friendly, no-controversy persona that their audience perceived them as. Nowadays, they're fully out as nonbinary and gay and their humor is a lot more mature, cultivating an audience that doesn't push them into a box. They also have a V-tuber model and use it a lot, along with their complete rebrand! They stream a variety of video games and they're clearly a lot happier now being their true self and working on content they genuinely enjoy. Ranboo is also recently getting back into making youtube content! Overall, Ranboo is doing so much better now and the community is too. We're still going strong and not stopping anytime soon! (sorry for grammar errors and bad writing, english isnt my first language)
Ayyyy, this is perfect because i only ever watched Technoblade's POV. Unfortunately, he hasnt really been uploading. I never really payed much attention to all the drama and stuff unless it was techno related.
Yoo same here. I remember the second he joined the server like it was yesterday, it was great timing. Techno's upload schedule stays the same as ever eh?
First I cried over the Technoblade section, but the where are you now section really got to me. It hit close to home and honestly this entire video has inspired me to look back on all the wonderful fan created content. Thank you for this video, it was very good :,)
I cannot explain how this brought tears to my eyes, during the Dream SMP I was going through such a rough patch and Dream SMP had just brought a lot of people together, I remember rushing to my sister to talk about new lore, sitting alone on my floor talking with my sister about this Minecraft server is one of my favorite memories, especially since how alone I was, I’ve always been isolated just due to some personal stuff, but holy shit did the Dream Smp just help me and inspire me to draw and write, me and my friend arguing about how Schlatt died from a stroke and not a heart attack, mean so much to me
I was someone who grew up with Team Crafted, and I understand these peoples feelings bout minecraft youtubers and characters, I was there to see TC and to extent the rest of Sky's work fall apart, to see Aphmau fall from decent RPs to Slop that most kids channels post. While I wasn't really into the SMP, my partner was and I understood why, cause I was the same but with a different time period, despite being only one year older than them lol. I mostly watched Ranboo and Slimicle but I get it, I was the same.
Look, I know that it's completely unrelated, but I can't believe that you didn't mention Charlie Slimecicle's masterpiece "Jort Storm" in your section about music.
I remember sitting on my bed during lockdown in 2021, scrolling through UA-cam and eventually coming across the dream smp. I spent the next year indoors and if I’m being honest, at the time, it helped me a lot. I felt so at peace being able to watch something to distract me from the outside world and I honestly miss it a lot. The feeling of curling up on my bed with a snack, my crochet stuff, and a dream smp livestream. It’s the only thing that I really remember from that time, everything else seems like a blur. Now anytime I see things related to Minecraft or the dream SMP I feel a deep melancholy. It wasn’t even about the dream smp, it was about the escape it gave so many people. I’m honestly glad I found it because it gave me a lot of peace during that time.
i originally had no intention to comment, its not something i usually do. but man it got me, the stuff at the end. despite how hard things were for everyone and myself included during lockdown, this fandom was everything. these people were everything, fans and creators included, hell i still have my videos up for it. it was truly a one of a kind experience that i doubt could ever be done like this again, and it was an honor to live through, despite how cringe it mightve been. i have no regrets, and its amazing to see so many others dont as well. this was beautiful, quinnamon. thank you for this. it was a trip down memory lane i didnt even know i needed, but i did, and i thank you for that. keep up the great work.
Yall I was there for the disc saga as a Tubbo viewer and let me tell you it was freaking hilarious. I witnessed the grass massacre around Tommy's base live
Thank you for making this video. Back then I thought the dream smp was extremely stupid (not that i ever harassed or laughing at any of the fans) but after watching this whole video, I realise it meant so much more to so many people and I’ve learned to appreciate it. It’s amazing that it brought millions of fans all over the world together and made their lives a little less miserable. Your final speech really brought me to tears, so thank you for sharing such an amazing message with us:)
when i got into the dream smp, i was a kid. like, a kid kid. a tween, i guess. i was going to theater camp, irl some days and zoom the others. on one of the irl days, i heard my best friend at camp talking about the dsmp, trying desperately to explain the dumb, hilarious, convoluted story to me. when camp was over, i was bored, and was feeling swallowed by the pandemic again. i remembered hearing my friend talk on and on, and decided to just look it up. the first thing i watched was a sad-ist animatic-i dont remember which, but one of the earlier ones. i was blown away. i had no idea who these people were, hell, i thought quackity was fundy at one point, but i knew i loved it. i dug deeper. wasted hours watching evanmcgamings lore videos, feeling entranced by wilburs charm, feeling the same sadness tommy felt furing exile, and a feeling of longing to want to meet these people. to hug them and be their friend and just be able to shake their hands and say thank you. ideas started forming in my head, i made my ocs i still use to this day because i cant bear to let them or that world go. eventually, things fell apart. i started to resent dream and him letting his fans obbess grossly over him. feeling the first grief id ever felt for techno. still crying time from time over wilbur, who was someone i adored more than most content creators, being as vile as he was fictionally. i created my ocs, my characters, to fix all the bad. i wanted to take away the others pain, even though it was fictional. but the worse thing got in the fandom, the worse things i let happen to them as well. maybe i was mad, maybe i was sad, but im pretty sure i was both. and i still am. up until now, watching this video, for the first time in years to not be afraid. to not be afraid to say i was obsessed over some british white pretty boys that cosplayed the american revolution. i never talked about my past online because i was scared, but now i feel revolutionary. i want to scream about the things ive made. to post all my old shitty art everywhere. to finally have the guts to tell those that mock me and everyone else still around that if you stop, that if you just take a damn moment to smell those bittersweet roses that they gardened for everyone to see youll understand. are us fans chronically online? probably! but id say those that immediately shun us, and never do their damn research and make the active choice to hate instead of love are more so. (to quinn directly-thank you. i cannot even begin to describe how cathartic it is to hear your speech at the end, especially when i was drawing, no less. you’re wonderful, never stop creating things like this.)
Minor correction, but although they spoke Portuguese, Cellbit and Felps are Brazilian content creators - not Portuguese. Same language, INSANE differences between the dialects, kinda like Canadian French and Parisian French
i don't usually comment on videos because of how shy i am about it, but this whole video itself is a masterpiece. even though it started out as a general recap of a minecraft series and the events of its "cringe" roleplay, the speech at the end really does tie everything together in a spectacular and meaningful way. all of the editing, the goofy jokes, they're all done with such love. thank for this absolute 3 hour monster of a piece of content. embrace nostalgia, and embrace the reflection in the mirror. you'll always be you. thanks.
this was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL video i teared up at the end, you captured the joy i got from the dream smp down to the editing to your nutty commentary. this video made me remember WHY i loved the dsmp so much, another banger GODDDAMNNNNNNN
I cannot fathom how much the dreamsmp has effected my life, especially my art journey, it is something it still look back on so fondly, despite everything that happened. I remember discovering it from the first Sad-ist animatic and thinking that this is one of the coolest things, I remember working really hard on my art just so I could be like the those DSMP artists I looked up too. The DSMP artist community is one of the craziest places I’ve ever seen, in a good way, there are so many creative people working together to bounce of ideas for characters. And making animations and crazy emotional masterpieces. I can’t really put into words how thankful I am for being a part of that fandom space, cause it was genuinely one of the most supportive and creative places out there. Dreamsmp was an experience you had to be there for, but damnit it is something I will look back fondly on for a long long time.
@mostazaa simple, Shelby's word against yours. She ended up turning around and saying it was consentual the whole time, the word wasnt an issue, and actually Wilbur's idea not hers, and she someone who openly admits to having a low pain tolerence and bruises VERY easily, not like that biting, hurts. Thats it. She changed her story so much she now changed her story so much to point shes agreeing with Wilbur's versions of events. Its just im doing what people who hate wilbur ask, im listening to Shelby, and shelby says the biting was a nonissue and that she was estially not abused, just not happy with the relationship in the end, and ended a long term relationship lasting multiple years for the guy she was openly flirtly with DURING STREAMS before that relationship ended. She knew he had mental health issues prior to getting with him, was warned by her friends, his friends and HIMSELF that his mental health was bad. She uses his mental health symptoms as proof as being a bad BF. Sounds like a her problem. Im gonna take her word, that it was consentual and the safeword was a nonissue, and ignore her from here on out. Especially when shes refusing proof, and people are sooner finding evidence that she was ouing about previous exes too than finding evidence wilbur abused her. Hell, she flipped her lid when found evidence to correct her version of events and the general timeline. That just SCREAMS unreliable narrotive if not malious intender. And again, she basically took back the accuastions. So.
@@DistortedDissonance sorry, can you tell me In which stream or video does Shelby changes the story or says that it was consesual or the safeword was a nonissue? i tried searching for it and nothing popped up, and i remember watching Shelby's streams about it and she never said something as you said, did I miss something?
I haven't found many people talking about the ending bit of this video. From the Techno bit all the way to the very end, I got pretty choked up and emotional. In a good way, and in a sad way. I'm not very sure how else to put how it felt to me into words, but it felt so personal. I truly think that this video is one of the best I've seen. Not just on UA-cam, but in general. I knew absolutely nothing about the DSMP before this video, but I saw the effects of it around me through my friends. But your words still hit me in a way that nobody has hit in a while.
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS DRAWING. But in all seriousness, this was such a beautifully made video. Despite the fact I wasn't part of the dsmp fandom in 2021 (im fascinated by the story and it was really well summarised, also a passerine fan!!) this really resonated with me and honestly made me cry. Thank you.
Was drawing towards the end and literally started bawling my eyes out, didn't expect such an inteospective, resonating and reassuring message in a DreamSMP recap. Thank you for this, gonna need to recontextualize the last 4 years of my life now
thank you so much for posting this video quinn, the dsmp did get me through one of the toughest times in my life. I miss it, but i know it's better that it's over. But i miss the innocence, the joy i got out of it. So thank you. For dedicating your time to this video, and for the beautiful remembrance of Alex. Thank you Quinn.
Getting home from vacation to a 3 hour Quinn video is just what I needed! Getting some popcorn and snacks for the Dream Smp Movie now lmao. I think this donation is deserved after the time and effort put in this video! Honestly seeing your content develop and improve from the 6-7 months I've watched is amazing! And that along with your humor and Daggz's and your editing is why I love this channel and it's one of my favorites. In regards to the video I also appreciate the inclusion of your fan's experiences with the Smp, and your generosity for donating to cancer research sort of in Techno's name :). Anyways amazing work! (I wanted to join the patreon, but I'm bad at managing subscriptions, so this is my replacement for that)
your support means the world to me 🥹🫶 thank you so much, hope you like the video, it’s a bit messy at times but i’m very happy with it. thank u so much for ur kind wordssss 🥹❤️❤️
@@quinnamon I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s great so far!! Also I was wondering, with Ticci Quinn gone will we get other Quinn variants potentially in the future? But yeah keep up the great work ❤️ Edit: Just finished, the video was amazing and that ending had me crying, thanks again for covering the smp :)
crazy that i was 15 when this all started, now im getting married next month and still think about this. the end credits quote at the end hit like a truck though
I was never into dsmp, by the time I learned it was a thing it was far to long and complex for me to get into, but it always hurts to hear about the passing of someone so young and talented, RIP technoblade
Seeing a bunch of old men doing school theater and another bunch of 13 year olds taking it seriously feel's like something that only could happen in minecraft
this is a really beautiful video essay. you had me tearing up at the end there holy. ive pushed my interest in the dsmp down for so long out of shame, but this video really got me to think about how much it meant to me at the time amd how much fun it was to follow along, and the amazing people i met along the way. so thank you for this :]c
even as someone who hated the dsmp and still holds negative feelings towards it, i cried at the end. im typing as im cryING. because this doofy mc server holds so much love to it in so many ways. even if its seen as cringe, mabye cringe is just a shield to subdue happiness and joy and love. then by god we be cringe, to spread love, to spread kindness, to be optimistic and believe in hope for the better. by god, be cringe.
Finally someone who is able to say these words, all those who hated Dream SMP only saw the cringe and never stopped to think that they were just children locked in their houses laughing and having fun
Never in my life, has an ending of a UA-cam Video speak such poignant volumes validating an entire culture of people. This has one of the most beautiful messages Ive bore witness to in anything Ive vested my time in watching. Covid was such a difficult epoch, including those like you and me. I want this message to get to you, and congratulate you on genuinelly wanting me to strive to do better despithe adversity and negativity surrounding us. Because no matter what happens, we can all at least come back here and see that we're not alone, that we're never alone. Thank You so much for helping me feel heard, despite the avenues that Ive already traveled down that's helped me feel so. There are others without those luxries. Keep up the fantastic work, you have earned my subscription.
I joined DreamSMP fandom not so long after Wilbur was revived, if I remember correctly. Been unironically waiting for Schlatt to return, cause my first experience with DreamSMP was watching him and Wilbur interact in a cave or something, and I absolutely fucking loved everything that was going on around him... Guess it was never meant to be
3:03:39 “Despite everything it’s still you” using an undertale quote to sum it all up was beautiful thank you for making this great video despite all the bad things I’m glad I was able to be part of this fandom ❤
When i started watching the Dream SMP i was double nostalgic, since i used to watch another roleplay SMP called "Minecraft Leben" (it was german) which was set in medieval times. It kinda reminded me of it even tho there were huge differences in the story and it never was that extravagent. i never really was super hooked but i was quite engaged in Wilburs and JSchlatts arc. This whole SMP reminded me of the different story arcs of that old SMP. The Mystery about that Griefer and the Jounalist "Herr Bergmann" (thats a UA-camr) trying to uncover his identaty while also fixing his delorian to travel back into the future, well... back to the future style. Or Paluten becoming some sort of Bandit while also fighting to protect his pet pig and after leaving the SMP making one of the biggest minecraft Projects known today (in germany). These Projects were a part of my early childhood and it was really fun to see something like this unfold again. Also i wanna state that English isnt my first language lol. and i am going on a rant that most people wont get too.XD
@@leond2083 ANOTHER MINECRAFT LEBEN ENJOYER I completely get where you're coming from. Minecraft Leben and Minecraft Freedom pulled me into minecraft Roleplay and thus the Dream SMP. (Specifically Herr Bergmanns and Palutens videos) What a wonderful way to be introduced to the English minecraft roleplay scene.
"Most hated fandom" bro never heard of homestuck Absolutely amazing video! I never cared for DSMP at all and even found the fandom strange during its peak. This video definitely got me to understand the hype, and that if I had been in those circles I probably would've loved it as well
I gotta say, thank you for the entire end segment. Though I don’t need these words now, back then they’d mean the world and I know they’ll mean something to someone new. That feeling and that knowledge it brings peace to my heart and happiness to my face. You’re amazing Quinn, thank you
I’ve been going through a really bad mental health spiral recently and finding this video, watching it to the end, made me cry. I’ve never been into the Dream smp but the way you talk so relatably and consistently sympathize and comfort the viewer makes me feel heard, and that’s why you’re one of my favorite youtubers omg
Great video! I’ve never watched a minute of the Dream SMP but I always found it fascinating. This video really made me think about fandoms and how “cringe” is stupid.
I was not prepared for Quin to make me cry while I'm working on a commission for my mutual i met by random chance... All the people i met through silly fandoms i grew up being apart of. Most of them i met through the fallout fandom, but before fallout most of us drew dsmp fanart before meeting
This is probably the most amazing video depicting the dsmp, all the people that worked on this are incredible. You all did this work for us, the player, for you too. Back at 2020 it was more then a rough year, it was a sad year for me, I lost one of the most important people in my life and it felt like I couldn’t escape. I wanted to see my friends, go outside, visit my family, but I couldn’t. When school started back online, I was doing low in my grades and was not paying attention in class, I wanted to just leave. And then I was watching a livestream of the dsmp, then from there I was hooked, I had fun, I started to feel excited when a stream started. No matter what the stream was about or who it was with, I loved it. Ever arc, every story, every character, it felt as if I was in the game itself. I started to draw again, after for months of not having any motivation to do any, I began to write, wanting to make incredible stories just like in the server. I bought youtooz figures, plush, and yeah it’s probably cringe I still have these stories, merch, and drawings. But I loved them, they made me so happy, they helped me feel less and less empty and more fuller. To this day I draw and occasionally write fanfic of the dsmp, I know it’s cringe and maybe it is, but that’s okay cuz at the end it’s me, it’s you. You are amazing, incredible, inspiring, talented, and every other word. You create beautiful drawings, write fantastic stories, build great art, who cares if it’s odd, you like it so enjoy it and keep on doing it. Dsmp may be over but I never forget it, it had been there during my toughest moments in my life, and I give it my many thanks. Thank you Quinn for making this wonderful video, you and your team did more then good, you did incredible. It made me cry, laugh, and smile at the end. You and your team deserve a good rest, so please take breaks, drink water, and enjoy yourself. And one last thing to end on. Technoblade never dies! Rest in peace Alex you were more then a UA-camr, you were a inspiration and will always will be. Thank you to all, you are the universe, you are love, you are the player❤
The DSMP is something i will never forget as at the time dream was imprisoned i remember going onto a server my mate invited me on just as school started and i will never forget the friends i made on that server. i tried to make lore on the server and it kinda worked but alass all good things come to an end and since then i never talked to the people that were on that server but i will never forget that...ever. The DSMP inspired me to do that. I will never forget the Steel SMP thanks for the memories i made during you existence.
To add lockdown i think hit hard for me as i never kept in touch with school friends and just felt alone within my room i still feel its affects but the message at the end of the video hit hard for me. Even though i only found your content today thank you fo the message i really needed it today
thank you for this beautiful homage. i queued up this video and did my favorite thing to do in 2020/2021, get drunk and play minecraft. im ending this in tears because of your words and how well YOU understand what it was like to be there, what it was like to watch each stream, follow each of these creators, laugh and cry with so many others who loved this. thank you. ive always looked back at this time of my life with shame and embarrassment but you, and most everyone watching this, understands that it kept us going. thank you.

absolutely adored your take on cringe. It doesn't matter if something, or even *someone* is "cringe", what matters is that they're good to others, and i think harassing people for being cringe is just the opposite of that.
I'm so tired of people being genuine and earnest being labelled as "cringe"
As if some neurodivergent teenager enjoying something they like is inherently "wrong" in some way, and then going forward to harass them about that is the "right" thing to do
I just want to let people enjoy what they like.
I want people to be able to be genuine without being called cringe all the time
I agree. Someone’s “cringe” may be someone’s special interest - something that is dear to their hearts. We all have something that we absolutely love and it’s disheartening for someone else to dismiss it as unlikeable or disgusting.
I hate how people just label other people's tastes as "cringe" but probably their tastes would also be cringe to others, they act like they are more mature and correct, But it would also hurt them if you criticized their tastes and called them "cringe" about something that in the long run makes them happy.

The "dsmp music" funny enough, was literally ANYTHING used in popular dsmp art or media. From the fan songs to the Minecraft soundtrack to the songs used in ANIMATICS. It was hilarious rhe first time because people who had no assocation with the server suddenly flooded with dsmp brands or music recommendations
My favorite dream smp song, fuel, by metallica
Yeah dsmp is the sole reason for my slight J-pop obsession.
I am 27 years old, was a grown adult struggling through an office job during 2020, did not watch a single bit of this debacle while it occured. I put this on to listen to while working that same office job on a rough day, and ended up sniffling at the end of it. I want to compliment your passion and way with words, and your empathy regarding the topics you cover. Lovely video, great job!
Techno and Tommy are the only ones in the entire server to not be involved in some controversy is proof that not everyone is automatically some terrible person with skeletons in their closet and something to hide
They aren't the only normal ones,there's only like five people that were on the dream SMP are bad people
@@apple_1234 but I'm talking about the larger or more famous creators
@@copper-dragons wait... Did Ranboo do something controversial?
@@favesoe2201 no they didn’t
Even Tommy has his own controversy, with the whole Lesbian joke people really started hating on him
While I am no longer a fan of wilbur for... obvious reasons - his character in the DSMP will always have a special place in my heart. In my senior year of highschool he was my comfort character (as embarrassing as that is to say) and I have so many paintings of him still from my art class that year that I can't bring myself to throw away. I'll always enjoy revivebur's design, arc and fan made creations - I wish his creator hadn't turned out to be such a bad person in real life
And I watched a video of someone talking about how hurt they were about William’s actions and they were telling them that it was all going to be okay and “you got this” but I could tell that they didn't really believe that because of how unconfident and hurt they sounded. It's sad to see much people were affected by that it’s just horrible all around.
Personally, I think one of the final nails in the coffin of Dream Smp was Technoblade’s death.
From what I remember, one of his few final streams was building some sort of library somewhere on the Dream Smp server, seemingly planning some sort of storyline with it. This library, to my knowledge, was never finished, as cancer got to Techno before he could finish it.
After that, I never really paid attention to Dream Smp anymore, mainly letting it die in my mind as a memory of Techno’s streams and how much fun I had following his perspective.
I really only watched this video because of mild curiosity about how the main storyline ended, and because I wanted to simply pay my respects to my favorite minecraft youtuber who unfortunately passed prematurely.
Sometimes I still think of him and how fun his videos are sometimes, and I think that will stay true until the end of either the internet, or until his videos completely disappear off the face of it.
And that is why I believe Technoblade will never die.
@@AnArtistInAVoid for me it died the moment the prison arc began.
There’s something tragic about that library, and his untold stories for the Dream SMP.
He said that when he fought in Minecraft Monday, it wasn’t just about clout, money, or glory he was looking for. He also saw the competition as an opportunity to seek others, interact with em, and make friends. When Minecraft Monday ended, that’s what he left with.
Had Technoblade’s story on the SMP continued, I think it was Phil who said that Technoblade (the Character) was gonna fly off, find new governments to destroy, and return later…
While someone else, “Cyberknife,” was gonna take his place. He was almost the opposite of Techno’s ideologies, as he was actually gonna be someone who absolutely loved governments.
A funny excerpt on its own, but it’s also worth noting that after L’manberg’s chunk error, everyone who no longer had a country were building their own nations.
Dude wanted to try and spend more time with others outside of his isolated Syndicate without being mortal enemies.
I remember crying when I heard Techno died. I didn't even follow the DreamSMP that much but I did enjoy his content. Condolences to the family, even all these years later.
"Alive But Gay" Thumbnail when talking about the DreamSMP is crazy
2:01:47 okay as a certified Ranboo Viewer i can explain this one, though i'm going completely off of memory so i don't remember everything. ranboo had their own entire sideplot where they had memory issues. they kept a memory book (mentioned where dream revealed ranboo betrayed tubbo) where he would occasionally find things in there he did not write. my memory is fuzzy on the details but basically, it's revealed that ranboo is the one who blew up the community house (so dream could pin this on tommy) and ranboo concluded that he was working with dream but never remembered why or how (a fact which caused a lot of internal conflict and was the main point of their story). it's also revealed at some point that ranboo is the one that set off the explosions at the top of pandora's box, and sam deduced that fact and detained and locked up ranboo for it.
TLDR ranboo was working with dream but because of memory problems never remembered it

I'm sitting here, using this video as my background noise while I complete a psychology report for my second degree. I'm thinking about being in my first degree, remembering online university that I endured only, in part, with the connection I felt to this fandom (and my amazing friends who tolerated me ranting and raving about this silly little block game). I've been meaning to make a dream smp recap myself and this video has definitely inspired me to go back and finish that at some point. And it also made me nearly cry. You captured that sense of nostalgia so beautifully, it made me remember why I loved this series so very much and why I miss it, despite everything.
Thank you for this video!
Despite everything that’s happened I’m glad I got into the Dream Smp. It really helped during COVID and the fandom was fun and really creative (the non rabid fans that is). Also nothing will ever top watching Lmanburg blow up and then learning the US capital had a riot going on.
That was actually insane tho. Like I was fully depressed that L'Manburg was gone and my mom's like, "Did you see what just happened???" And I was like, "How did you know???"

@@ShikanoinKazoo look up january 6th capital riot, basically the candidate who lost claimed that the election was fraudulent and incited his supporters to take over the capitol bulding, while there were people inside it.
to add on to the ranboo stuff: another reason he's depicted as tall is because he's around 6'6" irl, and that black and white color scheme is from his mask that he wears when he's doing facecam. they used to wear glasses too because of facial dysmorphia but his dysmorphia got better and now they stream /w/out the galsses :D

Surprisingly this video gave me the closure I didn't know I needed. While watching it I reflected on this period of my life, my mistakes and connections I made while beings in the fandom, the ambitions and plans, my life before it was changed by war (in Ukraine). What is even funny is the fact that the words "pumpkin duo" literally triggered Vietnam flashbacks about my first relationship 😂. As cringe as it may sound, this video helped me realize that I was a dumb kid during this era, that my decisions were not as bad as I thought they were, and that I matured and moved on after it. And it's fine. I don't know if you or anyone else would read it but all I want to say is thank you Quinnamon. Thanks for giving me the closure and chance to reflect I didn't know I needed. Thanks for helping me accept and let go of that part of my life.

Hi Pappo
Fancy seeing you here Pappo! Glad to go on one editing endeavour to another... right?
The last part you've written was so beautiful ... the memories, the nostalgia, the anger, the passion, everything ... your video made me smile and cry over the same time, the wonderful and warming words you told, our year 2020, the dream SMP, even if almost everything fell into pieces,, the lost of a creator, the lost of trust ... but the most important are our memories and time we all spend together watching, discussing, stretching and writing fanfics or theories, the new friendship I made through the SMP, that still hold even to this day, that's all that matters and that we're all still there and can laugh or cry about things ... like I'm doing right now ...
I used to be apart of the fandom; lemme tell you, as bad as it was at some points, I want to go back.
Probably one of the best communities if you were in the right places
i remember also having my old smp with my ex-friends, but otherwise, its lost media (except for one of my videos and a stream my brother did 3 years ago, which i just found yesterday)
The DSMP community was just, something good and bad, however you saw it.
I saw it good, i was massively invested, a good time of life.
Agreed, its really sad that whenever people think "dream smp" they think of all the obsessive, toxic fans. There were alot of nice people in the cringey, nostalgic community I used to be in.
I’m still in the fandom, and honestly since it’s died down things have been calmer. To me atleast.
the fandom's still here and it's chill as hell especially on tumblr
Dsmp tumblr is like- the chilliest place to be in. There’s no judgment, there’s no hate, only a warm passion for a server we’ve loved for years. Hate it or love it, dsmp will always hold a special place in my heart

Yeah, I wasn't interested in being around the dangerously parasocial fanbase
I saw the wonderful animatics and fun lore. I went to watch it and all the cool moments: just a bunch of people riffing in Minecraft. It lost me instantly, but I liked seeing the good fan work around it.
Personally, I was a fan around 2020-2021. I really enjoyed the animations, plot, and fan songs. Was it cringe? Yeah, it definitely was, but at the time it helped me through covid, watching life streams of grown men roleplay fighting in wars in a silly block game. Was I a stan? No, I hated them. But overall I think the plot was ok. A majority of the people are horrible now though.
Well that was an experience I was neither expecting nor prepared for
This was actually so perfect
I watched this expecting to laugh at how ridiculous the Dream SMP was, mostly because of the thumbnail (since I came from a twitter laughing at the text over the eyes). What I got instead was a trip down memory lane and I really can't be any more grateful.
I used to be super into this?? Entire ordeal. This story, the art, the community, all of this made me so happy. I was maybe 13? 14? It was one of the strongest driving forces for me to really take art seriously. I remember rushing home to catch a stream or staying up late to finish some fanart. I even animated a few things based off of DSMP!! It was nuts getting that comment from Technoblade and SAD-ist themselves, I remember being so surprised and freaking out over it haha
I'm 17 now. I graduated high school and I'm going to college 2 days from now. Sometimes I forget why I create in the first place. So thank you for reminding me. That I create so that other people can experience the same joy I did. I needed something like this before taking another step into my artistic career :)

I'll be honest, after doomsday I almost exclusively just waited for the next Technoblade video come out, watch him play with his friends in dumb ideas because he was the only one that I thought was really down to earth, and when the uploads started slowing down and his cancer diagnosis was brought up, I was a bit scared and heartbroken when his father showed up to share the news with Techno's fans, rather heart wrenching, despite that I had absolutely never met the man, he inspired me to try and help others more than I usually do, help someone get from one place to another when they don't have the ability to, help my family just a little more. The man behind the pig avatar helped revive a random stranger's compacting heart, and I'll always remember him for that.
The SMP was a fun ride, helped me get through the mundanity of working at, probably one of the worst jobs I've ever had to endure, every time a stream came up, it always managed to lift my spirits up, whether it was watching a bunch of dorks collect supplies for a mutiny or just watching them build out a little cottage out in the middle of nowhere, it was always the best part of my day.
As someone that’s had this Minecraft Roleplay as his special interest for 4 years, holy shit this hit me like a truck in the best way. Thanks for this, man. Genuinely.
A little correction and expansion when it comes to Ranboo's current career and generation loss, as a current active member of the community: Genloss was not inspired by the Walten files, I don't know where you got that information from, maybe it's just that they're both online ARG-ish horror projects? Generation Loss: The Social Experiments(which was the first real project and where the footage you used in the video comes from) is a lot more SAW-inspired and had cameos from other creators like Jerma, Slimecicle, Sneegsnag, and more. The project is still ongoing and we're getting new stuff somewhat frequently! The more ARG-aspect of it has only started recently. I recommend anyone who likes SAW and Horror to watch Generation Loss: The Founders cut for a fully edited version of the social experiments.
The community is still going strong and a lot of the currently active members are people who have been there since the DSMP! Ranboo has talked a lot about how, while they're grateful for the opportunity the DSMP gave them, they were mentally unwell and unhappy during those first few years (mostly 2020-2022). They were closeted and felt like they had to appeal to their audience by making their voice deeper and playing into the family-friendly, no-controversy persona that their audience perceived them as. Nowadays, they're fully out as nonbinary and gay and their humor is a lot more mature, cultivating an audience that doesn't push them into a box. They also have a V-tuber model and use it a lot, along with their complete rebrand! They stream a variety of video games and they're clearly a lot happier now being their true self and working on content they genuinely enjoy. Ranboo is also recently getting back into making youtube content!
Overall, Ranboo is doing so much better now and the community is too. We're still going strong and not stopping anytime soon!

Ayyyy, this is perfect because i only ever watched Technoblade's POV. Unfortunately, he hasnt really been uploading. I never really payed much attention to all the drama and stuff unless it was techno related.
Yoo same here. I remember the second he joined the server like it was yesterday, it was great timing.
Techno's upload schedule stays the same as ever eh?
i also watched technos pov a majority of the time, but yeah, he hasn't uploaded for a while, weird ...
This has to be a joke im going to cry :
If this is a joke im genuinely going to be sad
@@bobi-l6v he is dead, because of cancer, since 2023
First I cried over the Technoblade section, but the where are you now section really got to me. It hit close to home and honestly this entire video has inspired me to look back on all the wonderful fan created content. Thank you for this video, it was very good :,)
I cannot explain how this brought tears to my eyes, during the Dream SMP I was going through such a rough patch and Dream SMP had just brought a lot of people together, I remember rushing to my sister to talk about new lore, sitting alone on my floor talking with my sister about this Minecraft server is one of my favorite memories, especially since how alone I was, I’ve always been isolated just due to some personal stuff, but holy shit did the Dream Smp just help me and inspire me to draw and write, me and my friend arguing about how Schlatt died from a stroke and not a heart attack, mean so much to me
Same I remember all the memories I have with the dream SMP the good and the bad so nostalgic
how did Tommy endure psychological torture at 16 years old in Minecraft, I would've broken down on stream or committed some kind of federal crime
true bro 💀 that shit was literal bullying
We went from many eras of MCYT, going from Team Crafted, The Pack, HermitCraft, SMPLIVE, DreamSMP, QSMP, and you name it.
I was someone who grew up with Team Crafted, and I understand these peoples feelings bout minecraft youtubers and characters, I was there to see TC and to extent the rest of Sky's work fall apart, to see Aphmau fall from decent RPs to Slop that most kids channels post. While I wasn't really into the SMP, my partner was and I understood why, cause I was the same but with a different time period, despite being only one year older than them lol. I mostly watched Ranboo and Slimicle but I get it, I was the same.
you forgot mindcrack they were pretty important as well
Man, the QSMP was something, surprised there aren't many good videos on what happened there
teamcrafted veteran
Hermitcraft is the GOAT
Look, I know that it's completely unrelated, but I can't believe that you didn't mention Charlie Slimecicle's masterpiece "Jort Storm" in your section about music.
jortnado!
I remember sitting on my bed during lockdown in 2021, scrolling through UA-cam and eventually coming across the dream smp. I spent the next year indoors and if I’m being honest, at the time, it helped me a lot. I felt so at peace being able to watch something to distract me from the outside world and I honestly miss it a lot. The feeling of curling up on my bed with a snack, my crochet stuff, and a dream smp livestream. It’s the only thing that I really remember from that time, everything else seems like a blur. Now anytime I see things related to Minecraft or the dream SMP I feel a deep melancholy. It wasn’t even about the dream smp, it was about the escape it gave so many people. I’m honestly glad I found it because it gave me a lot of peace during that time.
i originally had no intention to comment, its not something i usually do. but man it got me, the stuff at the end. despite how hard things were for everyone and myself included during lockdown, this fandom was everything. these people were everything, fans and creators included, hell i still have my videos up for it. it was truly a one of a kind experience that i doubt could ever be done like this again, and it was an honor to live through, despite how cringe it mightve been. i have no regrets, and its amazing to see so many others dont as well.
this was beautiful, quinnamon. thank you for this. it was a trip down memory lane i didnt even know i needed, but i did, and i thank you for that. keep up the great work.
Yall I was there for the disc saga as a Tubbo viewer and let me tell you it was freaking hilarious. I witnessed the grass massacre around Tommy's base live
Thank you for making this video. Back then I thought the dream smp was extremely stupid (not that i ever harassed or laughing at any of the fans) but after watching this whole video, I realise it meant so much more to so many people and I’ve learned to appreciate it. It’s amazing that it brought millions of fans all over the world together and made their lives a little less miserable. Your final speech really brought me to tears, so thank you for sharing such an amazing message with us:)
when i got into the dream smp, i was a kid.
like, a kid kid. a tween, i guess. i was going to theater camp, irl some days and zoom the others. on one of the irl days, i heard my best friend at camp talking about the dsmp, trying desperately to explain the dumb, hilarious, convoluted story to me. when camp was over, i was bored, and was feeling swallowed by the pandemic again. i remembered hearing my friend talk on and on, and decided to just look it up. the first thing i watched was a sad-ist animatic-i dont remember which, but one of the earlier ones. i was blown away. i had no idea who these people were, hell, i thought quackity was fundy at one point, but i knew i loved it. i dug deeper. wasted hours watching evanmcgamings lore videos, feeling entranced by wilburs charm, feeling the same sadness tommy felt furing exile, and a feeling of longing to want to meet these people. to hug them and be their friend and just be able to shake their hands and say thank you. ideas started forming in my head, i made my ocs i still use to this day because i cant bear to let them or that world go. eventually, things fell apart. i started to resent dream and him letting his fans obbess grossly over him. feeling the first grief id ever felt for techno. still crying time from time over wilbur, who was someone i adored more than most content creators, being as vile as he was fictionally. i created my ocs, my characters, to fix all the bad. i wanted to take away the others pain, even though it was fictional. but the worse thing got in the fandom, the worse things i let happen to them as well. maybe i was mad, maybe i was sad, but im pretty sure i was both. and i still am. up until now, watching this video, for the first time in years to not be afraid. to not be afraid to say i was obsessed over some british white pretty boys that cosplayed the american revolution. i never talked about my past online because i was scared, but now i feel revolutionary. i want to scream about the things ive made. to post all my old shitty art everywhere. to finally have the guts to tell those that mock me and everyone else still around that if you stop, that if you just take a damn moment to smell those bittersweet roses that they gardened for everyone to see youll understand. are us fans chronically online? probably! but id say those that immediately shun us, and never do their damn research and make the active choice to hate instead of love are more so.
(to quinn directly-thank you. i cannot even begin to describe how cathartic it is to hear your speech at the end, especially when i was drawing, no less. you’re wonderful, never stop creating things like this.)
Minor correction, but although they spoke Portuguese, Cellbit and Felps are Brazilian content creators - not Portuguese. Same language, INSANE differences between the dialects, kinda like Canadian French and Parisian French
THAT BILLFORD JOKE KNOCKED THE FUCKING WIND OUT OF ME
Same 😭
Im not gonna watch this video but the thumbnail is absolutely fucking killing me i am on the floor
i appreciate your honestly at least thank you 🙏 funny was my intention
i don't usually comment on videos because of how shy i am about it, but this whole video itself is a masterpiece. even though it started out as a general recap of a minecraft series and the events of its "cringe" roleplay, the speech at the end really does tie everything together in a spectacular and meaningful way. all of the editing, the goofy jokes, they're all done with such love. thank for this absolute 3 hour monster of a piece of content.
embrace nostalgia, and embrace the reflection in the mirror.
you'll always be you.
thanks.
this was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL video i teared up at the end, you captured the joy i got from the dream smp down to the editing to your nutty commentary. this video made me remember WHY i loved the dsmp so much, another banger GODDDAMNNNNNNN
I cannot fathom how much the dreamsmp has effected my life, especially my art journey, it is something it still look back on so fondly, despite everything that happened. I remember discovering it from the first Sad-ist animatic and thinking that this is one of the coolest things, I remember working really hard on my art just so I could be like the those DSMP artists I looked up too.
The DSMP artist community is one of the craziest places I’ve ever seen, in a good way, there are so many creative people working together to bounce of ideas for characters. And making animations and crazy emotional masterpieces.
I can’t really put into words how thankful I am for being a part of that fandom space, cause it was genuinely one of the most supportive and creative places out there.
Dreamsmp was an experience you had to be there for, but damnit it is something I will look back fondly on for a long long time.
We all know truly recaping the dream SMP is like recaping the fnaf lore with all the books, fangames, and theorys being cannon.
3 hours of quinnamon more like 3 hours of PEAK
More like PEAKamon XD
I think the rumor of Wilbur being all bark and no bite was wrong
@@rascalcommander8837 nahhh 😭 😂
His girlfriend would change the story to say it was consentually all along and she doesnt like that bitinf hurts in general
@@DistortedDissonance Why are you trying to defend wilbur bro stop it
@mostazaa simple, Shelby's word against yours. She ended up turning around and saying it was consentual the whole time, the word wasnt an issue, and actually Wilbur's idea not hers, and she someone who openly admits to having a low pain tolerence and bruises VERY easily, not like that biting, hurts. Thats it. She changed her story so much she now changed her story so much to point shes agreeing with Wilbur's versions of events.
Its just im doing what people who hate wilbur ask, im listening to Shelby, and shelby says the biting was a nonissue and that she was estially not abused, just not happy with the relationship in the end, and ended a long term relationship lasting multiple years for the guy she was openly flirtly with DURING STREAMS before that relationship ended.
She knew he had mental health issues prior to getting with him, was warned by her friends, his friends and HIMSELF that his mental health was bad. She uses his mental health symptoms as proof as being a bad BF.
Sounds like a her problem. Im gonna take her word, that it was consentual and the safeword was a nonissue, and ignore her from here on out. Especially when shes refusing proof, and people are sooner finding evidence that she was ouing about previous exes too than finding evidence wilbur abused her.
Hell, she flipped her lid when found evidence to correct her version of events and the general timeline.
That just SCREAMS unreliable narrotive if not malious intender. And again, she basically took back the accuastions. So.
@@DistortedDissonance sorry, can you tell me In which stream or video does Shelby changes the story or says that it was consesual or the safeword was a nonissue? i tried searching for it and nothing popped up, and i remember watching Shelby's streams about it and she never said something as you said, did I miss something?

I haven't found many people talking about the ending bit of this video. From the Techno bit all the way to the very end, I got pretty choked up and emotional. In a good way, and in a sad way. I'm not very sure how else to put how it felt to me into words, but it felt so personal. I truly think that this video is one of the best I've seen. Not just on UA-cam, but in general. I knew absolutely nothing about the DSMP before this video, but I saw the effects of it around me through my friends. But your words still hit me in a way that nobody has hit in a while.
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS DRAWING. But in all seriousness, this was such a beautifully made video. Despite the fact I wasn't part of the dsmp fandom in 2021 (im fascinated by the story and it was really well summarised, also a passerine fan!!) this really resonated with me and honestly made me cry. Thank you.
Was drawing towards the end and literally started bawling my eyes out, didn't expect such an inteospective, resonating and reassuring message in a DreamSMP recap. Thank you for this, gonna need to recontextualize the last 4 years of my life now
thank you so much for posting this video quinn, the dsmp did get me through one of the toughest times in my life. I miss it, but i know it's better that it's over. But i miss the innocence, the joy i got out of it. So thank you. For dedicating your time to this video, and for the beautiful remembrance of Alex. Thank you Quinn.
Getting home from vacation to a 3 hour Quinn video is just what I needed! Getting some popcorn and snacks for the Dream Smp Movie now lmao.
I think this donation is deserved after the time and effort put in this video! Honestly seeing your content develop and improve from the 6-7 months I've watched is amazing! And that along with your humor and Daggz's and your editing is why I love this channel and it's one of my favorites. In regards to the video I also appreciate the inclusion of your fan's experiences with the Smp, and your generosity for donating to cancer research sort of in Techno's name :). Anyways amazing work! (I wanted to join the patreon, but I'm bad at managing subscriptions, so this is my replacement for that)

@@quinnamon omg tysm I did not expect a reply 🩷😭
I was never into dsmp, by the time I learned it was a thing it was far to long and complex for me to get into, but it always hurts to hear about the passing of someone so young and talented, RIP technoblade
Seeing a bunch of old men doing school theater and another bunch of 13 year olds taking it seriously feel's like something that only could happen in minecraft
"And the universe said I love you." Ok no need to make me cry
YOU are the universe.
I’ve always wondered where ItsAlyssa and Callahan are now. Their involvement in the server was such a mystery.

this is a really beautiful video essay. you had me tearing up at the end there holy. ive pushed my interest in the dsmp down for so long out of shame, but this video really got me to think about how much it meant to me at the time amd how much fun it was to follow along, and the amazing people i met along the way. so thank you for this :]c
even as someone who hated the dsmp and still holds negative feelings towards it, i cried at the end. im typing as im cryING. because this doofy mc server holds so much love to it in so many ways. even if its seen as cringe, mabye cringe is just a shield to subdue happiness and joy and love. then by god we be cringe, to spread love, to spread kindness, to be optimistic and believe in hope for the better. by god, be cringe.
Finally someone who is able to say these words, all those who hated Dream SMP only saw the cringe and never stopped to think that they were just children locked in their houses laughing and having fun
Absolutely chairs🍻 Let's all be cringed together and remember all the cringe and happy memories we had with this server
Never in my life, has an ending of a UA-cam Video speak such poignant volumes validating an entire culture of people. This has one of the most beautiful messages Ive bore witness to in anything Ive vested my time in watching. Covid was such a difficult epoch, including those like you and me. I want this message to get to you, and congratulate you on genuinelly wanting me to strive to do better despithe adversity and negativity surrounding us. Because no matter what happens, we can all at least come back here and see that we're not alone, that we're never alone.
Thank You so much for helping me feel heard, despite the avenues that Ive already traveled down that's helped me feel so. There are others without those luxries.
Keep up the fantastic work, you have earned my subscription.
I joined DreamSMP fandom not so long after Wilbur was revived, if I remember correctly. Been unironically waiting for Schlatt to return, cause my first experience with DreamSMP was watching him and Wilbur interact in a cave or something, and I absolutely fucking loved everything that was going on around him...
Guess it was never meant to be
3:03:39 “Despite everything it’s still you” using an undertale quote to sum it all up was beautiful thank you for making this great video despite all the bad things I’m glad I was able to be part of this fandom ❤
When i started watching the Dream SMP i was double nostalgic, since i used to watch another roleplay SMP called "Minecraft Leben" (it was german) which was set in medieval times. It kinda reminded me of it even tho there were huge differences in the story and it never was that extravagent. i never really was super hooked but i was quite engaged in Wilburs and JSchlatts arc. This whole SMP reminded me of the different story arcs of that old SMP. The Mystery about that Griefer and the Jounalist "Herr Bergmann" (thats a UA-camr) trying to uncover his identaty while also fixing his delorian to travel back into the future, well... back to the future style. Or Paluten becoming some sort of Bandit while also fighting to protect his pet pig and after leaving the SMP making one of the biggest minecraft Projects known today (in germany). These Projects were a part of my early childhood and it was really fun to see something like this unfold again.
Also i wanna state that English isnt my first language lol. and i am going on a rant that most people wont get too.XD
@@leond2083 ANOTHER MINECRAFT LEBEN ENJOYER
I completely get where you're coming from. Minecraft Leben and Minecraft Freedom pulled me into minecraft Roleplay and thus the Dream SMP. (Specifically Herr Bergmanns and Palutens videos)
What a wonderful way to be introduced to the English minecraft roleplay scene.
@@cal_motus332lemanberg really reminded me of bergmanns name XD. That why i got so nostalgic in the firat place all the memories came back lol

Absolutely amazing video! I never cared for DSMP at all and even found the fandom strange during its peak. This video definitely got me to understand the hype, and that if I had been in those circles I probably would've loved it as well
I didn't expect to cry at this but here we are. This video recovered so many memories I lost from this era, thank you for making this. ❤
Damn I never expected the ending of this video to be this emotional-
FRR
I gotta say, thank you for the entire end segment. Though I don’t need these words now, back then they’d mean the world and I know they’ll mean something to someone new. That feeling and that knowledge it brings peace to my heart and happiness to my face. You’re amazing Quinn, thank you
I’ve been going through a really bad mental health spiral recently and finding this video, watching it to the end, made me cry. I’ve never been into the Dream smp but the way you talk so relatably and consistently sympathize and comfort the viewer makes me feel heard, and that’s why you’re one of my favorite youtubers omg
I cried watching this video. Thankyou so much for making this. It means alot to me.
Great video! I’ve never watched a minute of the Dream SMP but I always found it fascinating. This video really made me think about fandoms and how “cringe” is stupid.
I was not prepared for Quin to make me cry while I'm working on a commission for my mutual i met by random chance... All the people i met through silly fandoms i grew up being apart of. Most of them i met through the fallout fandom, but before fallout most of us drew dsmp fanart before meeting
YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE QUINNAMIN CHARLIE SLIMECICLE IS GOATED
This is probably the most amazing video depicting the dsmp, all the people that worked on this are incredible. You all did this work for us, the player, for you too. Back at 2020 it was more then a rough year, it was a sad year for me, I lost one of the most important people in my life and it felt like I couldn’t escape. I wanted to see my friends, go outside, visit my family, but I couldn’t. When school started back online, I was doing low in my grades and was not paying attention in class, I wanted to just leave. And then I was watching a livestream of the dsmp, then from there I was hooked, I had fun, I started to feel excited when a stream started. No matter what the stream was about or who it was with, I loved it. Ever arc, every story, every character, it felt as if I was in the game itself. I started to draw again, after for months of not having any motivation to do any, I began to write, wanting to make incredible stories just like in the server. I bought youtooz figures, plush, and yeah it’s probably cringe I still have these stories, merch, and drawings. But I loved them, they made me so happy, they helped me feel less and less empty and more fuller. To this day I draw and occasionally write fanfic of the dsmp, I know it’s cringe and maybe it is, but that’s okay cuz at the end it’s me, it’s you. You are amazing, incredible, inspiring, talented, and every other word. You create beautiful drawings, write fantastic stories, build great art, who cares if it’s odd, you like it so enjoy it and keep on doing it. Dsmp may be over but I never forget it, it had been there during my toughest moments in my life, and I give it my many thanks. Thank you Quinn for making this wonderful video, you and your team did more then good, you did incredible. It made me cry, laugh, and smile at the end. You and your team deserve a good rest, so please take breaks, drink water, and enjoy yourself. And one last thing to end on.
Technoblade never dies! Rest in peace Alex you were more then a UA-camr, you were a inspiration and will always will be. Thank you to all, you are the universe, you are love, you are the player❤
The DSMP is something i will never forget as at the time dream was imprisoned i remember going onto a server my mate invited me on just as school started and i will never forget the friends i made on that server. i tried to make lore on the server and it kinda worked but alass all good things come to an end and since then i never talked to the people that were on that server but i will never forget that...ever. The DSMP inspired me to do that. I will never forget the Steel SMP thanks for the memories i made during you existence.
To add lockdown i think hit hard for me as i never kept in touch with school friends and just felt alone within my room i still feel its affects but the message at the end of the video hit hard for me. Even though i only found your content today thank you fo the message i really needed it today
I open this and i see "posted 10mins ago" and 3 WHOLE hours of quinnamon? we're eating GOOD

Hole hours
thank you for this beautiful homage. i queued up this video and did my favorite thing to do in 2020/2021, get drunk and play minecraft. im ending this in tears because of your words and how well YOU understand what it was like to be there, what it was like to watch each stream, follow each of these creators, laugh and cry with so many others who loved this. thank you. ive always looked back at this time of my life with shame and embarrassment but you, and most everyone watching this, understands that it kept us going. thank you.
