It's like revisiting an old childhood TV cartoon and relistening to the opening theme of the show. Lizzie, thank you for doing this not for just me, but the entire community of Empires Season 1 enjoyers. Even though it was gone not too long ago, the nostalgia hit us hard. Empires was something else. Yes it was still all about building but it was story driven, and I live for that. Your story was amazing to watch. You, Joey, Sausage, and Scott carried this season but Jimmy drove the story to where it is now. If time travel was real, I want to go back where it all began.

I have been watching Lizzie for many years and I must say, this is definitely her best video yet. To say that I am proud would be an understatement. You are truly a gem, Lizzie, and I don’t know what we would do without you 🥺💜 So beyond excited for Empires Season 2!

I can't man. I come back to this video every few months. I've been watching Lizzy for like eight years now and she was a huge part of my childhood. This shows her creativity to its finest, as well as is a perfect encapsulation of this first season of Empires, which was absolutely incredible. Absolute banger, and an iconic Minecraft piece in my opinion.

[@ism_0000]

Lizzie had been one of the most important people in my life. Since I grew up with an unsupportive, aggressive, and mentally draining mother, Lizzie's vids comforted me when my mom didn't. I've watched her since 2012 and I'm so proud of how much she has progressed. From crazy craft to Empires I've kept up with each series and they just got better and better. With the chaos and randomness of crazy craft and the detailed plot line of empires, every series has been different from others. Seeing you and Joel get married was such a heartwarming moment. Without knowing, you've been one of the only friends I had and I wrote this just to thank you for being such a caring person to your audience. You're the best Lizzie!! Please keep doing what you've been doing and I'm sure you'll be an inspiration to so many young people who need someone to support them!!!

[@EmeraldLilyOfTheValley]

I just wanna say, good job for finding a way through the harshness your mother put you through. I’m glad Lizzie was able to help you with that. I’ve known people who’ve had a very different way of coping, but your way is incredible. If you ever need a stranger to talk to, just to make you feel a bit better, feel free to talk to me.

[@l1ttlebunny_]

[@midsummernightmare]

Dear Lizzie, While I’m not usually one to pour my heart out in the comments section, I think you really deserve it. To put it in a few words, this musical means just about everything to me. I listen to it at least once a week, and I know every word. I could sing the whole thing if I was held at gunpoint, lol. The number of times I watched empires was suddenly put aside when this was released because I listened to this more in the first week than I did the entire year empires has been out now. You have an incredible voice and so much talent, and I hope you know that. Every time I finish listening to it I crave more story, music, adventures with you. It’s cheesy to say, but I really admire you, Lizzie, and you are the biggest inspiration in my life. Thank you for being such a big part of my life. Love, Your loyal shadow cadet Kitty

The Empires SMP was by far one of the greatest series we’ve seen from Lizzie, so this is an amazing way to honor it. Even if there is or isn’t a season 2 of empires, it’ll always be remembered, and it’s so nice to see others enjoying the songs, this was a BANGER!
