2 years later and I'm back to listen to this on repeat. I absolutely love Empires, both S1 and S2. I was building my Harry Potter Legos one day and I stumbled upon a series called Empires SMP and fell in love with it. I think I almost cried when it ended then proceeded to go watch Scott's POV (lol). I eventually got a friend hooked on it too and, through Scott and you, found Grian on Hermitcraft through the Life Series. Now, I sit here, sleep deprived as I keep up with yours, Grian's, Scott's, Etho's, Gem's and Mumbo's episodes on the Life Series and Hermitcraft with varying levels of success. Absolutely love your videos, Lizzie.

[@Riverecho1102]

And of course my favourite is Deal With Destiny, how could I not with my love for yours and Scott's channels?

[@GalacticStudios69]

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.

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.

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 really enjoyed "reel love"; seeing you two interact in any smp is always a joy, but having your characters get married did make me have a little cry irl (to be fair, it was very late at night).
