I would like to warn all hideduo fans bc Guaxinim is going to Purgatory. Who is he? One of the guys that was in prison when Pac and Mike met Cellbit. Fit already talked about him after the Brazilian Meet-up, calling him The Racoon, the english translation of his name if it's too hard to say it on portuguese.
Let me tell you: the guy is an attacker. He's a sweetheart. But he already said that Pac escaped his first once, he's not gonna escape a second time.
Fit is gonna have to fight all Pac's ex-boyfriends a la Scott Pilgrim style before getting a date with him. Because JV is also there.

NATASHA!?!?? SELWYNS MOMMAAAAA!?!?!?
How are you, a complete stranger going to come on my post and tell me that I’m trivialising a black woman’s pain over a lighthearted joke that Shuri “won by having the hottest bf”?? Additionally, why do you think because I’m enjoying the nuanced connection Shuri and Namor shared I’m somehow trivialising her pain??
Firstly, let me set you lot who like to go on people’s posts and be unnecessarily rude without knowing the facts straight— I’m black (with mixed heritage as I’m from the Caribbean) and I’m very aware of the pain Shuri experienced as a black woman who’s also navigated complicated grief myself, and I’ve made several posts analysing this at length, let’s start there. Second of all, Namor is also a character of colour and he too experienced pain and grief which is what fuelled ALL of his actions. He is NOT a villain, he’s an antagonist, and yall who are painting him as a villain because you claim “he killed Ramonda!!!!!” clearly need to rewatch the movie because what you’re doing is marginalising indigenous voices and their historical trauma by solely vilifying him. Namor didn’t overtly kill Ramonda, he had a role in her death yes, but ultimately Ramonda made a choice to save Riri vs her own life. Erik very explicitly tells Shuri not to minimise her mother’s sacrifice, because that’s what it was, a sacrifice. Namor and Shuri both add to each other’s pain whether directly or indirectly throughout the movie. They’re both flawed characters, neither is better than the other and that was the point you lot are missing — their journeys and experiences mirror and parallel each other. Whenever two characters of colour are contrasted and oppose each other, some of you very clearly show your true colours and how singleminded and problematic you can be and it’s gross.
One of the major themes of this movie was that the enemy is never fellow marginalised groups, it’s colonialism — more specifically neo-colonialism and how it pits us as people of colour against each other, blinding us to the exploitation of our resources and people. If your key takeaway from this movie was to vilify Namor and infantilise Shuri reducing her only to a pained and grieving character, congratulations you missed the whole f*cking point of the movie. Good for you 🙂. Here’s a 🍪 for being vapid.
But let me make something abundantly clear, just because people are shipping a couple doesn’t mean they’re not also making analyses of how the coupling can be or is dysfunctional. Many namuri shippers have pointed out where Namor and Shuri (paired together) are flawed and how their pain and grief fuelled/debilitated them. Also, know your f*cking place and don’t come at people you don’t know so disrespectfully. Proximity is a hell of a thing and a lot of you forget you’re literally strangers on the internet and attack people without knowing the facts.
Don’t ever think you can come on MY page or respond to MY posts being disrespectful and not get blocked. My block button stays hot and ready. Who do some of you think you are lmao???
No but. The way Mike's nap did help him but by making his mind correctly separate his trauma from his normal thoughts, giving him time to rest and organize what was real and what was a ptsd ridden episode. He woke up and he could remember who he was and who were his loved ones, reuniting with him son and with Ramon and just being his usual self, caring for Ramon and loving Richas more than anything
But when Doutovo showed the Cucurucho head and made him jump in fear and almost slip back to what he was, we can have a better image of what happened
Mike was alone in that cold cage, waking up every day without anyone else there or coming to save him. Being tortured by Cucurucho but by also being manipulated into seeing Fit hurting him, leaving him to his breakdown when the rest of Morning Crew finally got him back. His protectiveness over Pac because his torture was bleeding into the real world and for him this could be pretty much a trap to get Pac too, but when Pac sided with Fit, it broke something in Mike that even now that he is stable again, he still carried that wound to purgatory and felt satisfaction in hurting Pac as revenge
For me, this also shows how much Pac has been protecting Mike from the hard hitting traumas they both passed through as Pac did everything to get the worst of it, making so that Pac barely gets shaken anymore when he gets tortured, his mind is shattered and has been for ages, but it means there's nothing left to break. Meanwhile Mike is not used to it (as any normal person) and so he broke, needing months to recover from that trauma
I just watched that clip on twitter of Philza talking about how the qsmp was amazing and how it made him feel valued and etc, etc. I go in them comments and I’m suddenly flooded with memories of being a dsmp fan. People in there talking about how all the smaller creators weren’t valued and I rememberrrrr.
Being a fan of anyone who wasn’t the bigger cc (even then) was hard. I was a Ponk fan (his lore was soooo fucking good (love is dead)) but the way I found out about his lore was so complicated. It was through a TikTok and having to go watch ALL his streams to figure out wtf was going on. I also really like Eret and Foolish lore but that shit was hard to find out. To this day we don’t know what the fuck was going on with those two and how their gods and they knew each other from the past and blah blah blah. Imma not even touch on how Nicki, Puffy, and Hannah were treated. But it sucked to be a fan of smaller creators on the dsmp.
All this to sayyyyy. Ponk is African and speaks fluently in Zulu. I’m manifesting that African creators that speak Zulu get put on the Qsmp so Ponk can get the lore and the love he fucking deservessssss
Manifesting. Manifesting. Manifesting! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
chapter 26, crooked kingdom
So....Tazercraft again huh? /aff
I could go on for a bit about how Pac e Mike behaved during that kidnapping, how much their reactions spoke volumes about their trauma and how fucking good these 2 are at breaking people's hearts while teasing at this situation multiple times during the stream (also having heard some of their voice acting of a lot older videos just how fucking good Pac has gotten at acting like Jesus christ my heart). But I feel like a good amount of posts in the tags have summed up everything I would've wanted to say amazingly and I definitely recommend scrolling through them.
I wanna talk about something else tho. Richas. Moreso his relationship with Pac.
Richas has said before that Pac e Mike are his chill dads, the ones that have always let him get away with shit or encouraged his shenanigans but he still has always carried different relationships with each of them individually. He's a bit more distant from Mike due to the time where Mike isolated himself away from Richas in the fear of Richas loosing his last life because of him. Richas knows Mike is dangerous, he knows Mike's a bit unhinged and I'd like to think that unhinged almost destructive chaos is what Richas got from Mike. (Taking for example yesterday when he warned Bad that Mike is the one that can kill him) Richas knows Mike is smart and even tho he doesn't have the knowledge to talk with Mike about it he still relishes in the chaos his Dad Mike's ideas bring.
Now Richas relationship with Pac is what peaked my attention yesterday though and it showed me just how much of his emotional personality he got from Pac.
Starting with the obvious it's that Richas isn't often seen sad, he's not seen as a sad egg but rather a mischievous ball of positive social energy and that's how Pac is seen by anyone aside from Mike and nowadays Fit. Everyone sees Pac as this emotional ball of sunshine who's always happy if a little anxious, but both he and Richas hold their actual emotions close. They're rocks for others before they are people who let their own emotions out. Pac having always been the emotional rock for Mike while Richas has always been one for all his parents. It's fascinating to see how genuinely similar they are with this.
Which is why yesterday when Pac told Richas what had happened I feel like was the first time we saw Richas react to the news that one of his dad's got kidnapped again. Obviously he's bound to Crack at some point, he's a kid after all. But to have Richas be this clear about his emotional body language and distress is rare in terms of kidnapping. Seeing him physically recoil, frantically and in disbelief shake his head stung so much cause it's the first time we've seen Richas react this strongly to something like this infront of one of his parents. And I feel like it's because he has that more emotional relationship with Pac.
He let's himself be this openly emotionally vulnerable with Pac because he knows how Pac is. It's like how you have that one person you're not bothered to cry infront of because you know how they are when emotional and they know how you are. They're both people who are painfully aware of how many emotional burden they carry of other's just by being themselves and I feel like a big part of Richas view of Pac comes from that too! (Him saying to Bad that Pac is the most precious Brazilian and that Bad should be careful what he does to him) Richas knows how important Pacs emotional stability is to the people around him and how I feel like he himself takes after Pac a lot in just constantly pushing through things. Because that's what's Pac always done and Richas had to learn this from someone after all.
That's why the way that stream ended hurt me so much more, Richas coping mechanism after deep emotional trauma is just wanting to sleep. Pac actively said he wanted to do nothing but sleep now and Richas KNEW what that implied, he himself knows best what that out of Pacs mouth means because I'd like to think that that's what he learnt in the early days of the favela 5. That's how he learnt to deal with emotions because Pac had always been the one to be so open with his own to Richas. It's why Richas didn't stop him. It's why Richas just helped him get to his room and sat at his side while he played a melody in hopes that he'd ease some of the emotional pain his dad currently carried. Richas still ended up being the emotional rock in this, but his behavior with Pac was so much more emotionally charged yesterday. He was so much more vulnerable himself because he is so much more similar to Pac and actually seeing it this obvious was almost painful.
Richas and Pac are used to dealing with their emotions on their own so for Richas seeing Pac break this openly infront of him was distressing because he knows how much it takes for someone, who buries distress deep down so he can carry the weight of others peoples feelings, to break this upfront. To dump all his emotional pain onto someone and I feel like Richas was for the first time openly struggling to be a emotional rock until he gathered his bearings.
And I'd like to think that he slept alongside Pac for the same reasons yesterday, hoping that the dreams would take any tears away that were so close to falling while he was awake.

EMO ALERT EMO ALERT
Demon selwyn finally just spoke and he so EMO bro 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm very normal about Pac and Bad sharing the pain of losing so many people, they keep going away. Pac might fear and distrust Bad a lot, but that doesn't get in the way of his compassion and the fact he knows Bad is grieving too
It's the same compassion that made Pac forgive Cellbit even if he panics whenever Cellbit gets angry. Pac learned to separate the person from the monster, and it's what always makes him stay close to people he knows might hurt him, because often they're also the ones that bring him comfort
When Pac calls Bad his friend, he means it. When he says Bad's a monster, he means it. He was never good at staying away from the fire, anyways
One thing that kills me about house of the dragon is that Rhaenyra, Rheanys, Corlys, and Leanor are all trying to convince us that Jacaerys and Lucerys are black. That shit is so funny to me, it’s so funny to me. It’s giving that one clip from that one movie
Alicent: who’s goddamn white baby is this?
Rhaenyra: what do you mean he’s just light skinned.
Rhaenyra is right tho, they’re light skinned and Alicent is slandering her. Team black forever!!!
Ughhhhh
Atp imma need Ponk to make a smp and have it just filled with black people because shit is just getting worse. Like imma need Ponk, Berleezy, Cory, Hixen, Jazzyguns, Jojo, black rose, the rest of eezygang, add some upcoming black YouTubers like Forever Nenaa and Ohnoitstusk. Add Fannita and Iyosias to that bitch too. Just black people because it’s always somethinggggggggg with non black content creators.
Like I love the qsmp but tbh this shit is tiring.
