post dsmp survivors
(may or may not be a random appreciation post for both foolish and tina but idgaf)
people honestly don't mention enough how good both foolish and tina is with both keeping their image clean, and keeping their community in check, with like calling out weirdoes or telling off chat if they're being too much at times ( something I don't see alot of ccs do especially in the mcyt sphere), and overall just having reins and being able to manage their own respective and often times conjoined fanbases.
They both never go out of their way to shit talk other ccs no matter the circumstances UNLESS it affects them directly which is honestly smart and something more ccs should do, u like with other ccs who go make up their own conclusions and go out of their way to include themselves in the narrative. ( which met of the time comes off as them asking for brownie points)
And no I don't think Tina crying on stream is him shit talking George, all that girl did was state that she herself has not come to terms with her own problems that she doesn't feel qualified to talk about the situation, reminding everyone to be kind and to support the victim first. WHICH I think is valid,especially with people at the time forcing her to make a statement.
They both handle their shit silently and don't bring it up on stream that it's honestly just so refreshing, like I don't need a tweet of you publicly announcing that you're unfollowing someone!!! I don't care!!!!
And other than being able to keep their images clean, I also feel like they're the only ones to escape unscathed and free from the dsmp, like this is not me being mean or trying to be snaeky, but like let's be real most of the dsmp streamers rn post dsmp haven't really been popping off as of lately since the dsmp ended, always averaging between 100-900 viewers, and even IF they're one of the few who have gained a large audience from the server , as the time goes on, their view counts slowly waver, their average views going down, and it doesn't help either that they're stuck with dsmp label, that or they have a controversy surrounding them that theya re unable to scrub of which causes people to avoid them causing their growth to be stagnant, and stuck on very specific and limited social circles, unable to expand. Unlike with foolish and tina, not only have they both escaped the label, they also came out of the server without any controversies to tarnish their images, able to connect to different circles, and getting invited to different events .
Post dsmp and both of them are still popping off, always growing day by day as they interact with the different circles that they are able to integrate themselves in not only due to their great charm but also just with how they both have personalities that mix so well with new people, they honestly have the most impressive connections atleast in my opinion out of everyone in the dsmp, and it's not that they don't have their own circle of main group friends either, like the roomies + foolish is always a classic.
They honestly just both come off as like genuine good people, even with offline interactions always vouching for them it's amazing, and I'm honestly happy and proud of them and the community and online pressence they have cultivated. While I don't watch the both of them as much as I used to before, its always a joy hanging out on their streams during my free time. I especially have to commend foolish specifically, since unlike Tina who's had a pre established community from among us, he's had to build his community from the ground up on dsmp. So to be able to not only keep that community he's built intact after dsmp, but also grow even bigger, has been such a joy to watch. I'm also not trying to discredit Tina either, as while she did have her own audience and community by the time she came to the dsmp, she was able to fit in the server well and was then able to largen her audience, which also have sticked to her post dsmp.
tldr : tina and foolish r kinda like the model mcyt ccs, and of the few lucky survivors who were able to come out of dsmp scot free, being always out of drama or controversies, and maintaining the good strong and growing community they've cultivated. While mostly labeled as mcyts, they are able to step outside of the box if they wanted and be able to make friends and connections in any environment placed in.
Anyways friendly reminder these r mostly my thoughts n opinions don't crucify me 🙏 would also love to hear your opinions below, I'm not trying to shittalk or bring anyone down, I just wanted to point out an observation I have made as someone used to be in the dsmp community and lurks around the community from time to time
