Where should I go from here? Feel free to suggest some of the SMP highlights here so I know which ones to check out next! Still planning to do at least 1/week, AND start my hardcore streams on Twitch in the new year!
Fun fact: This was all going on when the final candidates for the actual US Presidental Election were being finalized, I think it was around the time when Kanye announced he was running as well.

@@itzrainy_outside4450 oh don't worry, not my country so not my problem (untill they start making demands about taking people out of their homes i guess).
53:47 That _is_ in fact a legit murder! Getting shot by Punz was Wilbur's second canon death, meaning that now him and Tommy both only have one life left. Also, a fun fact about Techno joining in - he wasn't _supposed_ to. He'd been whitelisted on the server for a while, but never really been too interested in it. Then, out of nowhere, he decided to tweet at Wilbur and Tommy in the middle of the stream and offer help. Wilbur has actually said that that wasn't planned, and he had to adjust the script to fit Techno afterwards. Speaking of the script, this is definitely the point where the SMP starts to get a lot more episodic. It's still not _really_ "scripted," but things are planned out a lot more. Wilbur essentially just wrote down a bunch of plot points, and everyone has to improv their way from point to point. Sometimes it just goes _completely_ off the rails, though, and they end up just running with that instead of what was supposed to happen. To end off, a couple more fun facts: 1. Wilbur actually wrote two separate versions of events, depending on whether POG2020 or SCHLATT2020 won the election. The alternate timeline does have _slight_ spoilers for the canon story, so I won't go into it here. 2. While Wilbur knew the results of the election as soon as he opened the Google Form, he didn't tell Tommy, so Tommy's reaction to everything that happened is completely genuine (played up a bit for the cameras, but still).
@@staying_silent I have heard of the alternate ending. So if they chose POG winning, then there wouldn't be no techno. No detonation, no withers, and mostly, no blood God.

I clicked on this so fast, love your reactions lol keep it up! Gonna keep editing this comment as I watch. -Tip on canon deaths: deaths are almost always non-canon unless stated otherwise. Where you are in the timeline, the canon death system is not yet officially set up. -8:20 Fundy had a whole separate arc going on with niki throughout the election, based around the unfair killing of his and niki’s pets. This eventually led to him running for president, with niki as vp, and his being very against Tommy and Wilbur. -22:30 Tubbo will definitely get his day don’t worry (: -24:30 Yeah, George was asleep that entire video -I’m pretty sure this was right after they played mcc with pokimane and that was just Tommy making fun of wilbur like he always does -28:00 nope george is literally just asleep -31:25 Niki runs a bakery!

I’m glad we got the “evil ending” with Schlatt winning hahaha
Going to the "Tubbo spends a lot of time on the SMP" thing, Tommy's streams on the SMP have always been around 1-3 hours long with little to no off-camera grinding. Tubbo, on the other hand, streamed 3-8 hours with a decent amount of off-camera grinding. I'd recommend that you watch (not react to, just watch in your free time) "Who's playing on Dream SMP the most? (Updated)" It's just 5 minutes long but it shows just how much everyone actually plays on the server. If you are wondering who "Awesamdude" is while watching it, he's their server guy and streams on the SMP, but doesnt get involved with lore stuff (although with a recent arc going on, he might). Sorry for the long comment/half rant.
Just a note i should mention because you mentioned the script, the script isn’t a script in the way people tend to assume. It’s a vague outline of plot, but it’s still mostly improv.
Also, the Pokimane thing: In order to explain this, we've got to explain Shubble. During MCC, Wilbur mentioned that he had a crush on Shubble when he was younger and Tommy teased him about it for a while. He even dragged her into their call after the tournament a few months later and they just spent an hour making fun of Wilbur. After that, it basically became a running joke for Tommy to pretend Wilbur has a crush on every woman that enters a call with them. Fast forward a bit, Tommy asked Scott Smajor if he could be on a team with Pokimane next MCC. Scott, not expecting her to say yes, said that if Tommy could get her to join the event, he'd put them on a team together. And she said yes. So it was Tommy, Wilbur, Poki, and Tubbo and Tommy spent the entire event just making fun of Wilbur for his "crush" on Pokimane. And I believe this video was filmed right after they announced the teams, but before they had actually played.
The Pokimane bit is because Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur did MCC with Pokimane. Tommy and Tubbo kept going on about it being awkward for Wilbur, and implying he had a crush on her.
Wilbur’s death by Punz is another canon death (his second death by Punz since Punz killed him in the final control room) There is a script for if Pogtopia won which still ends up in them being exiled in a way I think but I don’t remember the exact way
Yup! I wasn't actively following the smp back then so I didn't get a chance to vote, but I most definitely would have voted Schlatt. My viewpoint with this sort of thing is to always go with the option that sounds like it will create the most interesting story, regardless whether its good or bad for the main characters.
I mean they did have a separate version of the script where Jschlatt gets exiled and a lot of other stuff happens, so we cant know for sure that it wouldnt have been equally entertaining, but Im still very please by the story we got.
@@thecrawlingchaos4186 I know we can't know for certain, but I've heard the clip of Wilbur talking about the alternative script and imo it sounded a lot less entertaining that the version we got.
You said something about Tommy living on the server, but for a long time Tubbo had hours more playtime on the server than most others a ahfkah. He really did live there lmao.
I've been a little mentally stressed recently so I haven't had as much patience for longer videos and I'm just now getting into these. In fact, I'm binging these the day before school starts back up. It's fun. I don't know why I didn't do it to calm myself down. Watching your videos is like watching videos with that analytical friend that you love listening to because they always provide interesting insight. It also gives me an opportunity to rewatch videos I love
Ok so I think you deserve some context at for the joke at 36:30 So this kind of goes all the way back to summer(?) 2019, when Schlatt went on this show called “Love or Host” (at the time called the Rajjchelor). This show is really just for content and fun but sometimes real drama and real friendships spark from it. (It’s actually where Niki Nihachu and Wilbur first met and they’re pretty great friends because of it.) While it’s supposed to have new contestants every show, there is a selection of common girls who reappear on the show, one of whom is JustaMinx. Schlatt’s first appearance on this show was when he competed for the “Love” of his friend Fitz, and after he was eliminated it was revealed that Minx had a newfound interest in SCHLATT because of their similar sense of humor. Then there was this large back and forth between Minx and Schlatt, rejecting one another, and simping for the other over and over. As well as going on other shows and picking love for other people at the same time. It was as amusing as it was confusing. Then when George went on the show, he picked Minx and they went on a Minecraft date. So George had “stole his woman”.
Oh the context to "his vice president stole my woman" by schlatt is that a streamer named Justaminx and schlatt did this whole long term bit about having a weird relationship where schlatt would insult minx and she would yelled and laugh at it and it was very funny. It started from the twitch "dating" show love or host when schlatt rejected minx. Compilation channels had lots of "schlinx" compilations and such. (They weren't ever dating as far as we know) just before this video george went on love or host and chose minx ergo george the VP stealing schlatts woman.
Fun fact, this was HBomb’s first day on the SMP and he had absolutely no idea what was going on. If you’re interested, H also does a podcast/game show type thing on his channel with members of the SMP. Also I voted for Coconut :)
No, the bakery isnt really a fundy meme, it was just something funny he came up with for the election, and I dont think they mention it a lot after the election
Yeah, but didnt Fundy come up with the bakery joke as soon as he announced he would be running for president, and at that point Nikki hadnt joined him yet?
Yes! I look forward to seeing these ones so much and you’re about to get into the best of it. If you’re looking for main plot videos to watch next I would recommend “Technoblade finally joined Dream’s server” by Tommy, “Tommyinnit Ruins our Rebellion” and “Building the Resistance” by both by Wilber. Thanks for the great reaction! I really like your content but these are definitely my favs to watch.
i really enjoy your reactions, man! its like reliving my own reactions when i was watching the streams myself haha one thing i gotta say though is that, i think Wilbur didnt announce the winner of the election the "right" way is for dramatic effect, to emphasize the massive change of results based on Schlatt's and Quackity's pooling of votes
You should watch Tommy’s perspective because at this point Wilbur is the main writer of the script, and he doesn’t tell tommy much so that he can get genuine reactions from him
@@YoBGS I would think techno’s POVs would be best seen in the next arc after this one. Or at least seen after Tommy’s POV, since he’s been setting himself up as the main protagonist (despite his mischievous personality). Techno’s side of things was certainly interesting and portrayed the same events in a very different light. It may be worthy of a reaction as well and good for discussion as to who was more in the right or wrong. There’s just soooo much content of the dream SMP, it’s hard to narrow down what’s probably worth the time and effort for a video, but if you were to check out alternative perspectives of events you’d just seen, Tommy’s, techno’s, and wilbur’s pov’s for the upcoming major conflict would be it, hands down! Each have additional context to add to the events that are important to the story and characters. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I don’t usually comment on youtube videos but you got me engaged and I thought I’d share my perspective on the events. I voted for Schlatt2020 and it was by far the best decision I could have made. I had not really been following the DreamSMP regularly before the election stream so my vote was kinda “blind”. I knew the basics of what was happening but when I opened the voting form and saw “Schlatt2020” I was in shock, I hadn't watched the stream from the night before and therefore didn't know that schlatt was in the running. I have been following Schlatt for over a year now and if there is one thing worth knowing about him is that he commits to his bits, to the characters he create. I also find him insanely funny and the gag about running for president had been going on long before he joined the server. I mean he was literally selling Schlatt2020 merch in August 2019. I had to vote for him!! I watched Tommys perspective when it all went down and it is to this day the best live stream I have ever watched. I also find that beyond this point it gets more complicated to follow along in the story because of all the perspectives and characters. With your little “watchalong” do I not only get to experience all the truly great moments all over again, but your comments section also helps to explain things even I didn't know about. :)

It’s my pleasure! I’ve been enjoying seeing your reaction and genuine interest in the series. 😁 I feel like we’re all watching the development of a new form of entertainment. Not a tv show, not a let’s play but a blend of the two. I’d best sum up the dream SMP as an interactive improv comedy drama with scripted main plot points. And it’s already better than it has any right to be, holy crap! Some of the scenes are excellently crafted such as the one that was done on Tubbo’s stream recently. From sound design to camera movement to dialogue and acting it was shockingly good and so impactful! But that will be in the next arc of the series.😉 You’re just now getting into the most exciting arc so I hope you enjoy! 😁👍
50:20 Well Schlatt was banned and then unbanned for the endorsement so it was only his 2nd day allowed back on the SMP by the election time meaning it wasn't his fault for not being there before that (well other than when him getting himself banned but I just mean he didn't have a choice)
During one of the mcc’s (Minecraft Championship) Pokimane was put on Wilburs team with Tommy and Tubbo Tommy and Tubbo kept saying that it was awkward because pokimane is a women and another women named Nihachu (who Wilbur soot won a dating show with) Was also competing so Tommy and Tubbo tried to rub it in Wilbur’s face which is why when Nihachu was there Tommy said it was awkward. I hope that makes sense :’) Btw I love your reaction vids please keep doing them!!
We need more Dream SMP reactions soon. The next few episodes will be very plot heavy and will form some of the most memorable themes and lines in the whole series like Techno's lines and Wilbur and Tommy's bond.
dude, i couldn't stop grinning while watching this I was super hyped, and could feel your hype, and they just created an infinite loop DUUUUUDE this is where the lore just skyrockets, where juicy thing start happening my maaaaan you're in for the best ride :D
6:30 They have a system of 'canon deaths'. Almost everyone gets three and they only truly count during an important plot point, or a super serious part of the story. That death for Quakity wouldn't count as it's very obviously not a super serious part of the story. Everybody is joking and laughing, so it's not counted as a canon death. Or at least, that's how I understand it as.
i think reacting to ‘if dream smp had anime opening’ (its titled something like that) would be pretty cool. or maybe twitch rivals highlights if there are any (i rewatched the stream and it was so funny watching tommy slowly lose his sanity and wilbur start an asmr lets play)
It's quite confusing but as far as i know its only a cannon death if it is necesarry for the plot. It also has to be recognized by the person that died as such.
please go on and react to more!! I asure you from this point on it just get's better and better each second. Techno, Wilbur and Tommy take this to another level!
The 3 canon death idea was introduced to us by Wilbur after the Festival, and no deaths other than Tubbo's Festival and Wilbur's Finale death have been confirmed canon, any other deaths that are considered canon are just assumed to be canon by fans, the way Wilbur defined a canon death was as something along the lines of "Any scripted/plot relevant deaths where people act as though the person had actually just been killed."
This is where the lore very seriously starts and where the animations started being made so those would be good to react to. :) So I hope you post another reaction for the storyline soon! And yes that was Wilbur's 1st canon death. Though actual canon deaths weren't made a thing until later on, that was one of them + the one where Tommy and Dream had their duel and Tommy died. Canon deaths are counted when the deaths are very relevant to the plot and not just random ones where they fall into a pit for example.
The only deaths that matter for canon are deaths that have an effect on the plot, not just deaths that happen in canon events. Also the three canon death thing wasn’t actually a thing we were aware of until later on, and it’s unlikely that the content creators were aware of it, if wilbur had even conceived of the idea at this point
I love your reactions to the Dream SMP, but I also sort of hate how much content you’re missing, especially with how different things are going on from different perspectives. I mean, you’ve already missed the Pet War, which involved Fundy, Niki, Sapnap, and others. Tubbo’s perspective of the election is one of my favorites, because of the struggle and confusion as he’s picked by Schlatt as a right hand man. It’ll only get worse from here, as the current arcs are even more split amongst members, some of the official videos by creators leave out absolutely essential events, official videos for some events don’t even exist, and I feel like shortening and compiling one of the arcs (people who watched it live should know which I’m talking about) severely lessens the impact of the medium. While it’s been working out adequately so far, it’s my opinion that the current (or at least one) Dream SMP story arcs have a different form of storytelling than the large-event based writing of the Election Arc, and while the edited videos work for the Election, they do not work well for that arc.
All Wilbur’s DreamSMP videos are plot important so always choose them. My recommendation for the next videos: *The end of our nation* [Tommyinnit] - Tommy’s pov of losing the election (emotional Tubbo moments) *Technoblade finally joins dream’s server* [Tommyinnit] *Technoblade is a strange man* [Tommyinnit] - this one is not that important, they just kinda bond, but it’s very funny *Building the resistance* [Wilbur Soot] *Tommyinnit ruins our rebellion* [Wilbur Soot]. - these two are important to know who’s on what side *I finally teamed with Dream and Technoblade* [Tommyinnit] - is a side story, but very canon and is featured in the animatics *Am I the Villain* [Wilbur Soot] After that you will be moving on to the Festival arc which is a whole other story
"his vice president stole my woman" George went on a dating show called love or host and the girl -Minx- won. Minx was also on shlatt's love or host and she won that one as well. Which is why it was so funny.
Tubbo gets his day in the end... though next, i think you should do some of the stuff from wilber, like 'Am I the villan?' and all the stuff following Pogtopia, along with the Dream SMP festival
23:07 well yes Tommy makes like daily streams but Tubbos time on the server is insane. Like someone did a video on the time memebers have spend time on the server and Tubbo just sky rockets.
Tubbo's personalities do have longevity just not in the lore focused highlights. Tommy's second channel highlights have some of that stuff but theyre more of a thing in tubbo and tommy's streams
I feel like the best way to get as close to a catch up of the servers story is through wilburs videos on youtube, his character was a huge part of the story up until the end of the revolution arc in which he dies. Not to mention he was the main writer for the plot up until the end of the revolution arc in which techno is now the main writer but he takes alot of feedback for ideas from the others. But yeah check out wilburs videos of the SMP on youtube, and then from there you can check out Tommy's vods, technos past livestream on his channel, or check out the animations people make.
Where should I go from here? Feel free to suggest some of the SMP highlights here so I know which ones to check out next! Still planning to do at least 1/week, AND start my hardcore streams on Twitch in the new year!

Wilbur essentially just wrote down a bunch of plot points, and everyone has to improv their way from point to point.

-8:20 Fundy had a whole separate arc going on with niki throughout the election, based around the unfair killing of his and niki’s pets. This eventually led to him running for president, with niki as vp, and his being very against Tommy and Wilbur.
-22:30 Tubbo will definitely get his day don’t worry (:

-HBomb also saw Tommy at one point but was way too busy trying to figure out what was going on to do anything about it
-1:03:45 Tommy’s POV is also really fun, even if you don’t react to it I think you’d enjoy it, everyone’s perspective has new little bits of info and character, which is part of what makes it so fun to watch in my opinion.
-A lot of stuff happened in other pov’s over in Manburg while Wilbur and Tommy were doing their thing during the last video, I don’t know if you’re gonna look at anyone else’s points of view from that day, but because I’m bored, I’ll put some more stuff that wasn’t in wilbur’s video here in case you want to know what happened while they were off talking to techno but don’t have time to look for other perspectives:
(This is only a spoiler warning for what happened during the election from other people’s perspectives)
-The walls were completely taken down
-Schlatt renamed the entire nation, from L’Manburg to Manburg, because, and I quote, “We don’t take L’s around here”
-Eret decided he couldn’t stand for schlatt’s tyrannical rule after seeing him take down the walls (which eret actually built during the revolution) and bully tubbo into helping him take down the walls, eret also tried to help Wilbur and Tommy but they refused because they don’t trust him even a little bit
- Fundy showed Schlatt a lot of his support in all of his decisions after Schlatt won the election
- Niki adamantly refused to do anything Schlatt asked, so he put her in “prison,” but big q broke her out and pretended she escaped on her own
-The huge flag you saw earlier was built by niki, but fundy burned it down right after the election because he wanted to get on schlatt’s good side
-Eret and niki tried and failed to save the flag, niki took fundy burning it as a betrayal
Okay that’s it, I’m so excited to see if you like where this goes, I personally think you will (:
-More fun facts: There was a whole separate plan for what would have happened if pog2020 won, but that never ended up happening, so Wilbur told us about what could have happened. I’m glad we got the “evil ending” with Schlatt winning hahaha
I'm glad Schlatt won too! The alternative ending didn't sound half as good as the one we got. =D

Going to the "Tubbo spends a lot of time on the SMP" thing, Tommy's streams on the SMP have always been around 1-3 hours long with little to no off-camera grinding. Tubbo, on the other hand, streamed 3-8 hours with a decent amount of off-camera grinding. I'd recommend that you watch (not react to, just watch in your free time) "Who's playing on Dream SMP the most? (Updated)" It's just 5 minutes long but it shows just how much everyone actually plays on the server. If you are wondering who "Awesamdude" is while watching it, he's their server guy and streams on the SMP, but doesnt get involved with lore stuff (although with a recent arc going on, he might). Sorry for the long comment/half rant.
Well Sam isn't the server guy really the actual server guy is Callahan
@@lieeeleeee ooh okay, I heard him and Tubbo talking about server stuff and I just assumed haha.

I was not expecting to be personally attacked as a Clevelander in the first 3 seconds damn
It's okay, I lived there for like 10 years lol! It's just hard to find people from there or people who go there. It just... is.
“You think you want Quackity as your president? His Vice President stole my women!”
Ahaha- it’s funny cause it’s kinda true lmao
And then Quakity did as well
Just a note i should mention because you mentioned the script, the script isn’t a script in the way people tend to assume. It’s a vague outline of plot, but it’s still mostly improv.
people: oh yeah it's scripted
the script: jschlatt has a heart attack and fucking dies
Im so excited for "dreams sister" reactions someday :)
Also, the Pokimane thing: In order to explain this, we've got to explain Shubble. During MCC, Wilbur mentioned that he had a crush on Shubble when he was younger and Tommy teased him about it for a while. He even dragged her into their call after the tournament a few months later and they just spent an hour making fun of Wilbur. After that, it basically became a running joke for Tommy to pretend Wilbur has a crush on every woman that enters a call with them.
Fast forward a bit, Tommy asked Scott Smajor if he could be on a team with Pokimane next MCC. Scott, not expecting her to say yes, said that if Tommy could get her to join the event, he'd put them on a team together. And she said yes. So it was Tommy, Wilbur, Poki, and Tubbo and Tommy spent the entire event just making fun of Wilbur for his "crush" on Pokimane. And I believe this video was filmed right after they announced the teams, but before they had actually played.
The Pokimane bit is because Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur did MCC with Pokimane. Tommy and Tubbo kept going on about it being awkward for Wilbur, and implying he had a crush on her.
Wilbur’s death by Punz is another canon death (his second death by Punz since Punz killed him in the final control room)
There is a script for if Pogtopia won which still ends up in them being exiled in a way I think but I don’t remember the exact way
Legitimately when it starts to become a tv show
I voted for jschlatt, because I thought he would make the most content as a president in the story , I WAS RIGHT!
Yup! I wasn't actively following the smp back then so I didn't get a chance to vote, but I most definitely would have voted Schlatt. My viewpoint with this sort of thing is to always go with the option that sounds like it will create the most interesting story, regardless whether its good or bad for the main characters.
I mean they did have a separate version of the script where Jschlatt gets exiled and a lot of other stuff happens, so we cant know for sure that it wouldnt have been equally entertaining, but Im still very please by the story we got.
@@thecrawlingchaos4186 I know we can't know for certain, but I've heard the clip of Wilbur talking about the alternative script and imo it sounded a lot less entertaining that the version we got.
Yep same, but I kinda also did it for the meme of Schlatt2020, so I didn't expect him winning and was very suprised.
@@thecrawlingchaos4186 I thought it was Jail time, but definitely Schlatt winning was very impactful
Yeeess! Another episode, I’m literally living for this series
28:00
George was actually asleep during these events
You said something about Tommy living on the server, but for a long time Tubbo had hours more playtime on the server than most others a ahfkah. He really did live there lmao.
“Every time somebody opens their mouth they run for president”
That is true of both L’Manberg and America it seems
I've been a little mentally stressed recently so I haven't had as much patience for longer videos and I'm just now getting into these. In fact, I'm binging these the day before school starts back up. It's fun. I don't know why I didn't do it to calm myself down. Watching your videos is like watching videos with that analytical friend that you love listening to because they always provide interesting insight. It also gives me an opportunity to rewatch videos I love
Technoblade is an English Major when he was in college.
Ok so I think you deserve some context at for the joke at 36:30
So this kind of goes all the way back to summer(?) 2019, when Schlatt went on this show called “Love or Host” (at the time called the Rajjchelor). This show is really just for content and fun but sometimes real drama and real friendships spark from it. (It’s actually where Niki Nihachu and Wilbur first met and they’re pretty great friends because of it.) While it’s supposed to have new contestants every show, there is a selection of common girls who reappear on the show, one of whom is JustaMinx. Schlatt’s first appearance on this show was when he competed for the “Love” of his friend Fitz, and after he was eliminated it was revealed that Minx had a newfound interest in SCHLATT because of their similar sense of humor. Then there was this large back and forth between Minx and Schlatt, rejecting one another, and simping for the other over and over. As well as going on other shows and picking love for other people at the same time. It was as amusing as it was confusing. Then when George went on the show, he picked Minx and they went on a Minecraft date. So George had “stole his woman”.
*THE BLADE IS COMING*
HOHOHOOOOO
Fun fact: this is not the first time jshlatt ran for president on a Minecraft server
Wilbur is such a good writer, they also made it pretty convincing on the spot
Technoblade’s pov of the Red Festival is pretty nice btw
9:38 ...Huh! OKAY- Quackity can tell the future, then LMAO
I love how all three endorsements really were canon
Here we go! This is where it starts getting good. Good luck with these next chaotic reactions.
Good touch adding the song name in the intro, though I have recognized pretty much all of the songs you have used. Definitely good taste!
Oh the context to "his vice president stole my woman" by schlatt is that a streamer named Justaminx and schlatt did this whole long term bit about having a weird relationship where schlatt would insult minx and she would yelled and laugh at it and it was very funny. It started from the twitch "dating" show love or host when schlatt rejected minx. Compilation channels had lots of "schlinx" compilations and such. (They weren't ever dating as far as we know) just before this video george went on love or host and chose minx ergo george the VP stealing schlatts woman.
Please keep doing these reactions! Its so fun too see what you see when watching these!
Ah, the days when George was relevant
Eh, he’s still sort of relevant but only because dream likes him

Been waiting for this
Buckle up cause its about to get alot more CRAZY
59:38 you know you watched too much of the dream smp when you recognize the place the big ol' machete first used a fork.
encrypted for spoiler reasons.
never mind, i didn't watch the end of the video.
Fun fact, this was HBomb’s first day on the SMP and he had absolutely no idea what was going on. If you’re interested, H also does a podcast/game show type thing on his channel with members of the SMP. Also I voted for Coconut :)
You should make a video where you just watch all the different animatics the community has made. They’re so well done
loved the reactions as usual! gotta appreciate how well jschlatt plays a villain, especially with that evil laugh of his
No, the bakery isnt really a fundy meme, it was just something funny he came up with for the election, and I dont think they mention it a lot after the election
Niki was his running mate and Niki lives in her bakery in l'manburg, so by proxy Fundy had a bakery.
Yeah, but didnt Fundy come up with the bakery joke as soon as he announced he would be running for president, and at that point Nikki hadnt joined him yet?
Yes! I look forward to seeing these ones so much and you’re about to get into the best of it. If you’re looking for main plot videos to watch next I would recommend “Technoblade finally joined Dream’s server” by Tommy, “Tommyinnit Ruins our Rebellion” and “Building the Resistance” by both by Wilber. Thanks for the great reaction! I really like your content but these are definitely my favs to watch.
i really enjoy your reactions, man! its like reliving my own reactions when i was watching the streams myself haha
one thing i gotta say though is that, i think Wilbur didnt announce the winner of the election the "right" way is for dramatic effect, to emphasize the massive change of results based on Schlatt's and Quackity's pooling of votes
You should watch Tommy’s perspective because at this point Wilbur is the main writer of the script, and he doesn’t tell tommy much so that he can get genuine reactions from him
I live the reactions to this! I want to see more and now you can start getting into more animatics too!
are u going to watch technos, wilburs or tommy's pov:s in the future?
Probably a combo based on whatever ppl think is the best
Techno has stated that only his POV matters
@@scutula yeah clearly as a joke, being sarcastic is his whole thing
@@lieeeleeee If i was serious i would have said watch Techno's POV
@@YoBGS I would think techno’s POVs would be best seen in the next arc after this one. Or at least seen after Tommy’s POV, since he’s been setting himself up as the main protagonist (despite his mischievous personality). Techno’s side of things was certainly interesting and portrayed the same events in a very different light. It may be worthy of a reaction as well and good for discussion as to who was more in the right or wrong.
There’s just soooo much content of the dream SMP, it’s hard to narrow down what’s probably worth the time and effort for a video, but if you were to check out alternative perspectives of events you’d just seen, Tommy’s, techno’s, and wilbur’s pov’s for the upcoming major conflict would be it, hands down! Each have additional context to add to the events that are important to the story and characters.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I don’t usually comment on youtube videos but you got me engaged and I thought I’d share my perspective on the events.
I voted for Schlatt2020 and it was by far the best decision I could have made. I had not really been following the DreamSMP regularly before the election stream so my vote was kinda “blind”. I knew the basics of what was happening but when I opened the voting form and saw “Schlatt2020” I was in shock, I hadn't watched the stream from the night before and therefore didn't know that schlatt was in the running.
I have been following Schlatt for over a year now and if there is one thing worth knowing about him is that he commits to his bits, to the characters he create. I also find him insanely funny and the gag about running for president had been going on long before he joined the server. I mean he was literally selling Schlatt2020 merch in August 2019. I had to vote for him!!
I watched Tommys perspective when it all went down and it is to this day the best live stream I have ever watched.
I also find that beyond this point it gets more complicated to follow along in the story because of all the perspectives and characters.
With your little “watchalong” do I not only get to experience all the truly great moments all over again, but your comments section also helps to explain things even I didn't know about.

This is perfect thank you so so much!
It’s my pleasure! I’ve been enjoying seeing your reaction and genuine interest in the series. 😁
I feel like we’re all watching the development of a new form of entertainment. Not a tv show, not a let’s play but a blend of the two. I’d best sum up the dream SMP as an interactive improv comedy drama with scripted main plot points. And it’s already better than it has any right to be, holy crap! Some of the scenes are excellently crafted such as the one that was done on Tubbo’s stream recently. From sound design to camera movement to dialogue and acting it was shockingly good and so impactful! But that will be in the next arc of the series.😉
You’re just now getting into the most exciting arc so I hope you enjoy! 😁👍
The plot gets better here.
i miss the simpler times when it was just #POG2020 and “wake up george”
50:20 Well Schlatt was banned and then unbanned for the endorsement so it was only his 2nd day allowed back on the SMP by the election time meaning it wasn't his fault for not being there before that (well other than when him getting himself banned but I just mean he didn't have a choice)
During one of the mcc’s (Minecraft Championship) Pokimane was put on Wilburs team with Tommy and Tubbo
Tommy and Tubbo kept saying that it was awkward because pokimane is a women and another women named Nihachu (who Wilbur soot won a dating show with) Was also competing so Tommy and Tubbo tried to rub it in Wilbur’s face which is why when Nihachu was there Tommy said it was awkward.
I hope that makes sense :’)
Btw I love your reaction vids please keep doing them!!
Please do more! Its so fun to see someone else thoughts and reaction.
We need more Dream SMP reactions soon. The next few episodes will be very plot heavy and will form some of the most memorable themes and lines in the whole series like Techno's lines and Wilbur and Tommy's bond.
"Cannon Death" in dream smp basically means if they want the person to be out of the script or if they have a free life and its important
dude, i couldn't stop grinning while watching this
I was super hyped, and could feel your hype, and they just created an infinite loop DUUUUUDE
this is where the lore just skyrockets, where juicy thing start happening my maaaaan you're in for the best ride :D
6:30
They have a system of 'canon deaths'. Almost everyone gets three and they only truly count during an important plot point, or a super serious part of the story. That death for Quakity wouldn't count as it's very obviously not a super serious part of the story. Everybody is joking and laughing, so it's not counted as a canon death.
Or at least, that's how I understand it as.
Epicocity1527 also at this point the method of canon deaths was not developed. It wouldn’t be until after the festival
i think reacting to ‘if dream smp had anime opening’ (its titled something like that) would be pretty cool. or maybe twitch rivals highlights if there are any (i rewatched the stream and it was so funny watching tommy slowly lose his sanity and wilbur start an asmr lets play)
AAHHHHH i can't wait to see your reaction to the next vids
EYYYY alright man i have a recommendation, watch technoblade vs skeppy the final reckoning I think you’ll enjoy it
I agree
I agree
It's quite confusing but as far as i know its only a cannon death if it is necesarry for the plot. It also has to be recognized by the person that died as such.
Canon deaths are established after much much longer, I'll make sure I tell you when (but its still pretty far from now)
please go on and react to more!! I asure you from this point on it just get's better and better each second. Techno, Wilbur and Tommy take this to another level!
The 3 canon death idea was introduced to us by Wilbur after the Festival, and no deaths other than Tubbo's Festival and Wilbur's Finale death have been confirmed canon, any other deaths that are considered canon are just assumed to be canon by fans, the way Wilbur defined a canon death was as something along the lines of "Any scripted/plot relevant deaths where people act as though the person had actually just been killed."
This is where the lore very seriously starts and where the animations started being made so those would be good to react to. :) So I hope you post another reaction for the storyline soon!
And yes that was Wilbur's 1st canon death. Though actual canon deaths weren't made a thing until later on, that was one of them + the one where Tommy and Dream had their duel and Tommy died. Canon deaths are counted when the deaths are very relevant to the plot and not just random ones where they fall into a pit for example.
Second canon death, I think. Wasn't his first in the final control room?
when the time comes, please react to nihachu's "Dear friend... DREAM SMP" maybe watch this before you watch "The Red Festival" by technoblade
The only deaths that matter for canon are deaths that have an effect on the plot, not just deaths that happen in canon events. Also the three canon death thing wasn’t actually a thing we were aware of until later on, and it’s unlikely that the content creators were aware of it, if wilbur had even conceived of the idea at this point
AHHHH i was just watching u react to the pog2020 swag2020 video and this video come out niceeeee
UA-cam didnt give me a notification and I just got this in my recommended 45 minutes after it was posted wtf.
This means we soon shall reach the turning point. It's almost time for Technoblade to take the stage
I love your reactions to the Dream SMP, but I also sort of hate how much content you’re missing, especially with how different things are going on from different perspectives. I mean, you’ve already missed the Pet War, which involved Fundy, Niki, Sapnap, and others. Tubbo’s perspective of the election is one of my favorites, because of the struggle and confusion as he’s picked by Schlatt as a right hand man.
It’ll only get worse from here, as the current arcs are even more split amongst members, some of the official videos by creators leave out absolutely essential events, official videos for some events don’t even exist, and I feel like shortening and compiling one of the arcs (people who watched it live should know which I’m talking about) severely lessens the impact of the medium. While it’s been working out adequately so far, it’s my opinion that the current (or at least one) Dream SMP story arcs have a different form of storytelling than the large-event based writing of the Election Arc, and while the edited videos work for the Election, they do not work well for that arc.
It's very true currently half the streams done are plot adjacent streams for awhile they were everyday
jsut to clarify: wilbur and poki are just friends.
All Wilbur’s DreamSMP videos are plot important so always choose them.
My recommendation for the next videos:
*The end of our nation* [Tommyinnit] - Tommy’s pov of losing the election (emotional Tubbo moments)
*Technoblade finally joins dream’s server* [Tommyinnit]
*Technoblade is a strange man* [Tommyinnit] - this one is not that important, they just kinda bond, but it’s very funny
*Building the resistance* [Wilbur Soot]
*Tommyinnit ruins our rebellion* [Wilbur Soot]. - these two are important to know who’s on what side
*I finally teamed with Dream and Technoblade* [Tommyinnit] - is a side story, but very canon and is featured in the animatics
*Am I the Villain* [Wilbur Soot]
After that you will be moving on to the Festival arc which is a whole other story
oh you are going to LOVE the new arc
If they come back right away it probably isn't cannon
Me sitting over here laughing because he is only just getting into my favorite...well...we all remember November 16th.
"his vice president stole my woman" George went on a dating show called love or host and the girl -Minx- won. Minx was also on shlatt's love or host and she won that one as well. Which is why it was so funny.
George was asleep. He slept through the election.
Tubbo gets his day in the end... though next, i think you should do some of the stuff from wilber, like 'Am I the villan?' and all the stuff following Pogtopia, along with the Dream SMP festival
i thoroughly enjoy your immediate and intense horror at the words "jschlatt joined the game"
WERE GETTIN INTO THE GOOD SHIT, HELL YEAH!!!
23:07 well yes Tommy makes like daily streams but Tubbos time on the server is insane. Like someone did a video on the time memebers have spend time on the server and Tubbo just sky rockets.
Tubbo's personalities do have longevity just not in the lore focused highlights. Tommy's second channel highlights have some of that stuff but theyre more of a thing in tubbo and tommy's streams
I feel like the best way to get as close to a catch up of the servers story is through wilburs videos on youtube, his character was a huge part of the story up until the end of the revolution arc in which he dies. Not to mention he was the main writer for the plot up until the end of the revolution arc in which techno is now the main writer but he takes alot of feedback for ideas from the others.
But yeah check out wilburs videos of the SMP on youtube, and then from there you can check out Tommy's vods, technos past livestream on his channel, or check out the animations people make.
"Hey Techno, I heard you want to join us."
I shouted. Did not see that coming at all.
Techno is one of my favourite characters in the Dream SMP
I was watching ur vid and got notification from you lol
I heard there was a special place
Where man could go emancipate
The brutality
and the tyranny of their rulers
Well this place is real
You needn't fret
Finally! the fall arc is so good XD Plus technoblade lol
“Canon deaths” are deaths that are needed in a summary of the dream smp.
Technoblade's pov is amazing! You may also watch some of his vods because he gets some supplies there that becomes very lore prevalent later.
Tommy and Wilbur are debating against Quackity.
Who is, btw, a law student.
Yes I cant wait!!
A few more videos and you’re ready for the next sadist animation “the fall”
This is where the SMP bloomed into an amazing work of art
