DAY 2

[skipping day 1 bcs that was just lag incarnate lol]

POVs: FoolishGamers, saparata

foolishgamers POV: peacefully building his pyramid and making friends :)

saparata POV: imprisoned, tear-gassed, beaten, executed by firing squad after throwing a snowball at the president

minecraft screenshot - saparata is boxed in with wood blocks while a squad of all-netherite players stand in a line aiming crossbows at him

well, there is an afterlife.

i still cant believe this is real. how flux and saps r somehow in the same district together. once again became friends. planned a business together. only for saps to immediatly get executed afterwards whilst flux was begging for a lawyer. how are they doomed in every universe

shippers r genuinely annoying as fuck tho [...]

i forgot not everyone is on the same page w streamer etiquette and "if an encounter hasn't organically happened in the story, don't try to push it." cuz how r u all gonna be spamming abt flux when he isn't even currently on screen. i genuinley got second hand emberassment from that chatter trying to dono money to get them to kiss. holy shit i thought we as mcyters moved past this dnf-type bs.

tumblr textpost, captioned: fuuuuck that is my circus. are those...? yep... those are my monkeys..... goddammit.

like idgaf if the creators' boundary list say they allow shipping. its about being a normal individual in a PUBLIC chat 😭 please i beg youtube chat be normal........ where were the mods........

all of this aside, i WILL be drawing art of them later.

twitter account 'studio heartbreak' quote retweets a stateSMP clip, saying: 'wait this is crazy,' then reply to themselves with: 'sorry SORRY i need to lock in.... back to work..'

STUDIO HEARTBREAK?????

FROM THE LESBIAN MERMAID SHORT FILM?????????????

stream was funny as shit dawg, he just does not GAF for his wellbeing does he 💀 it was rule break speedrun and even after he died he CONTINUED pushing it LOL truly an unserious character, such a stark contrast from state2.5 where he strategically made it out alive every single obstacle w insane plays. sorry bub, no main character aura this time. 💀

truly hope he streams the event again even after the whole afterlife predicament

this the cutest saps design ive ever seen in my life actually


DAY 3

POVs: sidefall, FoolishGamers, TurnToPaige10

THE TOP 2 CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR OF DESERT DISTRICT HAVE JUST BEEN ASSASSINATED RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION......... YMIS IS DEAD I CANT BELIEVE IT.

at first i thought that sidefall was responsible, since just yesterday he made a deal with the government to endorse ymis, providing them with a false assassination writeup. but apparently the assassin wasn't a part of the government, and sidefall wasnt next to ymis when it happened. everyone believes that the 3rd leading canidate of the election was responsible

THE CANDIDATES IN SNOW DISTRICT ARE BEING ASSASSINATED TOO????


EXCUSE ME??????????

OK MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT WAS INVOLVED AFTER ALL

THIS IS CRAZY.... I WAS GENUINLEY ROOTING FOR YMIS AND THE BEACH. DEKU WAS ALSO FUNNY AS SHIT WHO THE FUCK ASSASSINATED THEM??

IT'S NOT EVEN PURGE TIME YET

Oh this is terrible timing……… the purge even has just begun. Whilst all districts are in disarray

minecraft chat message bolded in all red: 'THE GOVERNMENT HAS INITIATED A PURGE. LAWS ARE NO LONGER ENFORCED. MURDER IS LEGAL'

IM SO FUCKING SCARED.

OK MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT WAS INVOLVED AFTER ALL

misinterpreted the events. the COMMANDER of snow district was executed by the government. the GOVERNOR CANDIDATES of desert district and snow district were assassinated by citizens, theres no proof that the gov was involved but it's very likely.

closing thoughts;

ok. all of my povs survived the purge event itself. neat. but what comes next?

sidefall has put himself between a rock and a hard place. with ymis gone, he's appointed himself leader of the beach, but it's tough when half of his citizens witnessed his meeting with elanuelo from yesterday, and believe he had something to do with her death. what can he even do to convince them otherwise? he did indeed meet with elanuelo to rig the election by having him endorse ymis. so even if he didn't kill ymis, his citizens definitely believe he kNOWS something more. and... he can't even deny it. the beach will live on in ymis' name, but it's now split because of sidefall himself, whether he intended to do so or not.

aghckkkk, ooc sidefall is such a charismatic creator as well, his pov was so fun all around. he really knows how to rp

sidefall POV: best friend assassinated, several members of his party dead before the purge even began, has to carry her legacy while the public blames him for her death

foolishgamers POV: currently failing to rizz the commander of desert district

CRAZY.

misinterpreted the events. the COMMANDER of snow district was executed by the government.

NESSA MANAGED TO GET A CITIZEN POV OF THE EXECUTION

https://x.com/hydraNessa/status/1968848764556243062

OMFG. SCARY STUFF.

https://x.com/hydraNessa/status/1968854715287933063

THEIR CLIP OF THE PURGE'S START TOO.

twitter screenshot, captioned: something is definitely going on rn, a conspiracy, a villainous plot. because no fucking way, so many important citizen AND government leaders all died within the span of like 30 minutes. and this was all BEFORE the purge. mark my words, the government is hiding secrets.
twitter screenshot, captioned: there's just zero fucking way it is in any way logical, that ALL THREE districts had their governor candidates die off one by one like flies just before the election voting. this had to have been on purpose, whoever planned it. this is an absolute conspiracy, this is an outrage.

WATCHING TURNTOPAIGE10 (gaurd's) POV RIGHT NOW AND......

ALL THAT SHIT ON TWT DEPICTING FORTSY AS A "DOG" IS NOT EXAGGERATION. HE IS BEING SABOTAGED AND DRAGGED AROUND BY IMPERIA HIGHER-UPS IT'S GENUINELY TRUE.

I FEEL SO BAD HOLY SHIT

fortsy confided in paige and his other bodyguards abt how the higher-ups surly staged the governor assassinations to make him look bad and to get rid of him and that he believes hes going to die soon.

"it doesn't matter if you're wielding the baton or being hit by it, we're all trapped in this wall."

he thinks he has a target on his back and is having serious doubts abt the government......... if he dies im fucking rioting dude

another higherup (i don't know if it was solev or not) genuinely goes "good boy" at him. WILD.

justice for fortsy omfg he better live til the end

twitter post from sidefall: 'Hotline duo has never survived an event together. One of us always dies while the other lives.' - solev replies: 'I TRIED MY BEST'

I HATE YUIO SOLEV. I HATE YOUEO

what do you mean fortsy's personal guards admired him so much that when he was taken away to meet with solev, they said 'glory to the desert' instead of 'glory to imperia'

I WAS THERE

twitter post from user yuamski, screenname eivens, reading: 'president solev is a DEMON and is dragging my commander FORTSY around like a DOG on a leash'

rage from a member of the desert govt itself LOL. they were crashing out the entirety of today it was SO FUCKING FUNNY

ahgk.... i love the afterlife as a concept in 2.7. seeing friday_pilot in the afterlife pov and going back to see fortsy himself in paige's pov killing him is so cool.

i didn't even know it was fortsy himself who killed friday, i gasped out loud when i realized THAT was how he died

https://x.com/hydraNessa/status/1968847135832510897

it seems as if all districts have more loyalty to their district leaders than to imperia. citizens' sentiments to zekor echo gaurds' sentiments abt fortsy. cant wait to see how this evolves, surly soon things will change

i didn't even know it was fortsy himself who killed friday, i gasped out loud when i realized THAT was how they died

poor roopbert thou. the entire time after friday's death and during the purge they were crying out for their fallen friend. they deserved to escape together D:

yes ive only known abt them for like 2 seconds idc

one last day 2 meme for the road lol

DAY 4

POV: FoolishGamers, Derapchu, saparata

ZYNN CONFIRMED TO HAVE KILLED DA SLIME MEMBERS DURING THE PURGE......

im so sus of her dude i do nawt trusther

DUDE so many people dying rn and its only been 20 minutes since the server opened

CASS IS DEAD

minecraft chat, derapchu spams whisper messages to foolish: 'TIME TO RIZZ'

oh derapchu.

fortsy sighting.................

UH........ ANOTHER GOVERNMENT HIGHERUP IS DEAD???

WHAT IS IN THE AIR TODAY

SCHPOOD JUST DIED

DERAPCHU JUST DIED

HE WAS LOST AND WANDERING THE ARMORY. AT THE SAME TIME CITIZENS FROM THE SNOW DISTRICT WERE INVADING THE CAPITAL. THEY MUST HAVE CONFUSED DERAPCHU WITH AN INVADER AND KILLED HIM…..

But 5pyder is lying and saying derapchu went ahead of them into the tunnels when apparently he was behind…….. he's saying this isn't an act of the government but I remain skeptical

I am really so devastated. Derapchu has always been so cautious and has always looked out for foolish, always ahead of the game, and one little slip up led to his death.

The guys who killed him were wearing government armor though?

And now FORTSY is being detained???

ā€œHe can't keep his desert district under control.ā€ This is exactly what he was talking about yesterday.

minecraft screenshot - derapchu's minecraft avatar stands next to friday_pilot's in the afterlife server

ah, hi friday_pilot :3

FORTSY JUST MESSAGED FOOLISH. "thank you for your time in the desert."

5PYDER MESSAGED FOOLISH: "i'm sorry, i tried."

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

IM SO FUCKING SCARED.

minecraft screenshot - 5pyder whispers to you: 'solev is bringing fortsy to the desert right now to execute him.'

NO

NO PLEASE NO

HES TELLING THE DMC

FOOLISH IS TELLING THE DMC.

IM SUS AS FUCK OF THEM BUT........

HE NEEDS TO TELL SOMEBODY.

10 GAURDS WILL BE THERE IN NETHERITE ARMOR. HE NEEDS TO SET A TRAP OR UNITE THE ENTIRE DESERT. THEY CANT WASTE TIME IM ACTUALLY SO SCARED

WHAT ARE THEY DOING

ZYNN: "THERE IS NO WAR IN THE DESERT"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

the dmc are stalling. theyre saying they cant do anything but THEY CAN STILL RALLY PEOPLE.

THE COWBOYS, THE BEACH, DA SLIMES, THE CIRCUS, PLEASE

minecraft chat message - '[Desert Announcement] <Solev> FORTSY IS A TRAITOR TO IMPERIA! BEHIND THE BREATH OF YMIS! STOP THE MADNESS HE HAS CAUSED! JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!'

THEYRE ARRESTING SIDEFALL AND ZYNN.

5PYDER: "as much as i love your love story, fortsy is not as important as imperia."

IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THAT 5PYDER.

FUCK YOU.

madzvie has just died.

FOOLISH: "seems like you need to figure out where your morals lie."

FUUCK.

im genuinley so upset fortsy is dead.

so upsetting that derapchu is dead. he would have known what to do. foolish was rightfully just.... frozen.

apparently, all peacekeepers in desert district have resigned.

[Desert Announcement] <Solev> FORTSY IS A TRAITOR TO IMPERIA! BEHIND THE DEATH OF YMIS STOP THE MADNESS HE HAS CAUSED! JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!

no way fortsy wasn't framed for this. maybe i just lack knowledge but i don't believe he was involved in ymis' death. fortsy was PRESENT during the elections.

XPEPPERMINTX: "the government are bringing people into the capital during the purge. theyre trying to make it seem like the citizens are fighting"

YES. EXACTLY

5PYDER: they're abandoning desert district.

minecraft chat - foolish whispers to 5pyder through minecraft chat, 'WHAT? like no government here?'
minecraft chat - 5pyder whispers to foolish, 'perma purge'

"perma purge"

they're going to kill them all.

server's just closed. what a fucking day.

seems like there's not only a rebellion brewing amongst the citizens, but the government is also fighting among themselves. down with imperia.

twitter post - 'i manifest that foolish, derap, fortsy and everyone else we love doesn't die as i go to bed'

oh, sweet summer child.

minecraft chat - fortsy's final whisper message to foolish, reading '<3'

"<3"

THE HEART. FUCK MY WHOLE LIFE.

CRAZY SCARY.......

HOLY SHIT

5PYDER: they're abandoning desert district.

according to saps' stream and zekor's own words, zekor was executed for helping citizens escape the snow district. at the same time, zekor and 5pyder also had a deal where zekor gave him diamonds for his OWN base he had outside the walls. but in the end, 5pyder betrayed him and sold him out to the government, leading to his execution. his reason? more power in the government. meanwhile, in foolish's tour of the capital, 5pyder showed no remorse, bragging abt zekor's execution and wearing his armor as a trophy. then, when fortsy and derapchu die, 5pyder SUDDENLY wants to help foolish in his desert rebellion plot. you can see why i don't trust him right.

"maybe you're more of a friend than a fan." is mildly interesting to me tho. in the tour, 5pyder opened up to foosh abt how he usually doesnt get to talk to his fans bcs hes just soooo popular and everyone's just too intimidated. but like. its rly obvious that he just. has no fans right. the top reporter in imperia, endorsed by and funded by the government: the star of the nation... who no one actually likes... who imperia simply uses for their propaganda machine. i can imagine when he first met foosh, with his infinite energy and enthusiasm, surly 5pyder must have been shocked that anyone would actually like him - would be that excited by him and his show. then, it was finding out about foosh's story - the rumors of him and fortsy. then it was trying to be a part of it, inviting him onto an interview, letting him into the capital and feeling oh so useful and valued by him. maybe this was when the line between friend and fan became blurred. even if 5pyder did have to pretty much threaten him into it, this had been the most he'd ever felt like he had a genuine friend... and that's just... sad. and then, derapchu dies during the capital tour. after falling behind and getting lost, misguided guards kill him, foosh's best friend, and 5pyder gave those assailants the window to kill him by inviting them for the tour in the first place. i wonder how horribly he must have felt. from "they love me so much!" to the confusion and chaos - just as quickly he gained his first friend it's all been thrown out the window. "i have to force everything - there's no way i could be a part of their lives," he must have thought. but then... "but i want to fight for them. i want to fix this." for the first time in his government position, he feels guilt and he feels self-pity because for the first time, he'd also felt a sliver of what true connection could be like. so for once, he wants to help someone that isn't just himself.

i'm not opposed to 5pyder getting some kind of redemption arc but i'm also still thoroughly suspicious of him. i can't trust him that easily after everything he'd done and especially knowing he thrives off self-interested goals. no matter how compelling his character is atm hes gna have to earn a lot of that trust.
