Purgatory Event - Blog Posts

Al final, perdimos...

Roier corría lo más rápido que podía, era oficial, iba a morir pronto y no sabía de qué forma, tuvo que dejar a su esposo atrás para poder comprarse un poco más de tiempo. Si iba a morir, no dejaría que los demás se quedarán con sus cosas, había luchado demasiado por obtener todo lo que tenía y no se lo daría fácilmente a los del equipo azul. 

No sabía cuando, como, ni donde, no sabía siquiera si lo iban a matar de verdad. De cualquier manera prefería ocultar todo lo que tenía, Cellbit le daría un mejor uso, le ayudaría de ahora en adelante. 

Porque ahora no estaría él para ayudarle a tener una buena armadura…

“Yo te ayudo a conseguir una mejor armadura y una mejor arma…”  “Pero que no lo sepa tu equipo…”

Había tantos planes entre ambos, querían hacer tantas cosas juntos, pero simplemente no se podía. ¿Había algo que no los dejaba ser felices? Primero sus hijos y ahora él ¿qué sería de Cellbit? 

No quería siquiera pensar en el infierno que pasaría su esposo, no era justo, no era justo que su esposo sufriera otra pérdida. No era solo su esposo, también Jaiden y Foolish, los dejaría solos, ya no podría bromear para aligerar el momento, ya no podría hacerlos felices, ya no podría protegerlos…

“Gatinho… Sé que estarás desesperado por buscarme, para cuando encuentres este libro, yo ya me habré ido. No sé lo que me deparé, no sé si voy a morir, no sé si tal vez solo me llevaran a otro lugar, o tal vez estoy exagerando y simplemente me pusieron en tu grupo y todo esto no tendría sentido, porque no tiene sentido que nos maten a todos ¿no es así?  Lo siento… debí haber hecho mejor las cosas, debí haber matado a esos culeros desde el principio, debí haber intentado ganar.  Si no muero mañana, si me llevan a otro lugar, ten por seguro que volveré a ti, porque así lo prometimos ¿no es así? Así como te fui a rescatar la primera vez, así lo volveré a hacer, nos volveremos a encontrar, no me olvides Cellbit porque yo no te voy a olvidar.  Eu te amo Atte. Guapito.”

Dejó finalmente el libro en el cofré junto a todas sus cosas y lo enterró, sabía que Cellbit lo encontraría, tenía que hacerlo. Porque habían prometido encontrarse justamente en ese sitio al día siguiente, tendrían una cita, una en la que conseguirían más diamantes e incluso encantarían cosas, tenían todo planeado. 

— Mierda… - susurro en voz baja mientras sentía las lágrimas bajar por sus mejillas - No quiero dejarlo, no quiero maldita sea  — Objetivo encontrado…

Hola, este es un pequeño hc, un pequeño fic, un pequeño one-shot(? como ustedes quieran llamarlo. Lo hice hace tiempo por el purgatorio en el QSMP, lo había subido a twitter pero ahora lo subo aquí para compartirlo nada más :D

"by the end of this event we will all be broken "

BOLAS IS BACK!!!

Welcome to The Purgatory, Aimsey!

Welcome to The Purgatory, Scott!

take some more low quality Philza doodles

gas gas gas gas gas

he was not okay after yesterday…

also, lore is lore-ing too fast for me to draw it all ;-;

daaang bro went all out with this one

Hi, I’m A.D., I’m a historian, and let’s talk about the nuclear bomb and why the one that exploded at the end of QSMP’s Purgatory Event probably didn’t kill all that many people upon initially exploding.

The nuclear bomb, as everybody knows, has only ever been used in a war twice. Both explosions were caused by the United States in their war against Japan at the tail end of World War Two in one final terrible last ditch attempt at ending the war through any means necessary.

Pictured above are the atomic explosions at Hiroshima (left) and Nagasaki (right.)

These are big huge clouds, which makes sense! Nuclear weapons, on average, have the strength of somewhere between 10 and 50 megatons of TNT. Hydrogen bombs, meanwhile, are WAY worse, with the first test coming in at a whopping 10 MILLION tons of TNT.

To put it in Minecraft terms for all you nerds out there, imagine Doomsday from the Dream SMP and how it razed an entire nation to bedrock level by using somewhere in the range of 20 stacks of TnT (if I’m remembering correctly.) A nuclear bomb, in these terms, would have blown L’Manberg up something like eight times over and then some.

So that’s. Bad. Right?

Well, here’s the QSMP’s bomb as was constructed by our favorite depressed detective, q!Maximus:

This bomb, notably, is underground. It was never dug up, it was just moved somewhere else. It isn’t above ground, and it never left this room. Watch the cutscene back (linked here), the bomb never left the room.

So this is where underground nuclear testing comes in.

Underground testing began in 1951, and it remains the only form of scientific nuclear testing not banned by the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963.

No big surprise, a lot of early underground tests were conducted by the US out in Nevada, where they kinda tested nukes legit fucking EVERYWHERE in the desert for a long time. Below are some photos, just for funsies:

What’s important about underground nuclear explosions is that they actually end up releasing less radiation into the atmosphere than regular nukes do. What happens beyond that depends on whether or not the radiation remains contained.

A contained explosion’s aftermath:

And an uncontained explosion’s aftermath:

There hasn’t really been many negative biological effects reported from these underground tests, which is really saying something considering how close to nuclear blasts the US had its guys at most of the time (see below)

The worst you got out of the underground tests was some radioactivity in cows’ milk, which is NOTHING compared to the effects of the above-ground nuclear testing at the Nevada Site:

So… what does this mean for the QSMP?

Well, if we’re going off of historical and scientific precedent, legitimately nothing substantial happened to the islands of Purgatory. There’s more of a risk of dying from the pre-established radioactive rain disaster effects as well as the earthquake and meteor disasters.

Fun fact! Underground nuclear explosions usually registered as weaker than actual fault line activity, aka actual earthquakes.

If Maxo’s nuke was dropped from above, the devastation would be greater. Nuclear fallout is no joke; even today, cancer rates in the American West are still pretty high from the above-ground testing conducted at the Nevada Site. The Bikini Atoll will never be the same after all the testing the US did there, either.

But, because this nuke seemed to have gone off underground, I can safely assume that the damage done to the islands above was minimal at worst. Maybe there’s a radioactivity leak, but everybody staying on the islands had already experienced radiation up to that point.

It’s important to remember this because several characters did stay behind on the islands, and the fandom is assuming them dead because, well. A nuke went off. But those characters aren’t dead yet (outside of q!Maxo, who was possibly directly above the nuke when it went off and thus would’ve been hit full-force by the explosion.) Many were on the beach, far from the the nuke. They’re fine, and you can prove it with history!

TLDR; the nuke from the end of Purgatory was assumedly set off underground, which would have negated a lot of its potential damage, so everybody’s fine except for the unfortunately deceased q!Maxo

honestly one of the most intense moments of the whole stream. But to be fair, the whole this was intense

I wake up and Qsmpblr has collectively decided we are taking the bus to Purgatory together LMAO love yall /p
