The Rats SMP is a private, modded Minecraft multiplayer server hosted by POWCreations, which was founded by Apokuna and OwengeJuiceTV. It features several prominent Minecraft YouTubers and streamers, including Bekyamon, Soupforeloise, Krowfang, Scott Smajor, LDShadowLady, SolidarityGaming, TheOrionSound, Shubble, InTheLittleWood, and Tubbo, with numerous guest stars from the broader Minecraft content creator community.On the SMP, all the players are Rat Men living in a large Mansion in the countryside; however, the Mansion is also inhabited by human NPCs, who will attempt to catch and either trap or kill any of the rats if they see them. If a player dies three times, they are Killed Off for Real. In between server events, the rats must complete various quests to establish a closer relationship with both other Mansion inhabitants and guests, or prevent the humans from discovering their presence in their walls.The Rats SMP began on October 16th, 2022, and ended on January 8th, 2023.Note: Unless otherwise specified, all tropes pertain to the characters, not the content creators that play them.

Tempting Fate
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: On Day 47, as the snowfall begins, Owen and Olive rejoice in finally being able to have "a normal day where nothing goes wrong". Cue Krow walking up to the group awkwardly asking how things are going, the group immediately deducing something is up, and everyone finding a very vengeful Scott in the Lobby with the cats. Cue a server-wide cat-astrophe. In the finale, the possibility of Mr. Icraga or other humans coming up to the attic, the place where the rats live, is raised, which many of the rats dismiss. Later, this is exactly what happens once Mr. Icraga calls the Janitor away from leave.

 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_16ddefda
comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Played for Drama. According to El, the rats tried some drinks after finding the wine cellar to the Mansion on Day 29, which resulted in a severe lack of judgement and the intentional overheating and subsequent explosion of the Boiler Room. The Janitor is not happy about it, to say the least.

Artistic License – Biology
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Several references have been thrown around regarding the passage of time for the rats in years, especially in their backstories. In actuality, domesticated pet rats only live 2-4 years on average and about 7 years at maximum, while their wild counterpart, the brown rat, often barely lives one year. On a related note, the rat reproductive rate is thoroughly exaggerated. Rats typically have 5-10 babies per litter (or up to 12), and 3-6 litters per year, their average lifespan in the wild. This means they would usually have under 100 babies in a year, and are unlikely to have 400 or more children in a generation. Similarly to the rats, it's stated that the termite guests have been living in the walls of the attic their entire lives up until they were found by the rats, which was about a week at most. In reality, queen termites can live up to a decade in optimal conditions, and even worker termites have an average livespan of a year on average. Additionally, the termites pass their crown between each other, allegedly because their late grandfather never left a line of succession for it; needless to say, this is not how termite "queens" function — or any insect colonies, for that matter.

Wainscot Society: The rat world exists in the nooks and crannies of the human world, hidden behind walls and in attics and alleyways. According to El, at least, some parts of rat society even have their own class system. There is often interaction between the two worlds, as the rats often still have to obtain food from somewhere.

Chekhov's Gun: On Day 2, Scott, Bek, Owen, and Will discover a lever suspended on the ceiling, and surmise pulling it allows humans to access the attic where the rats are living. It foreshadows the finale where the Janitor comes into the attic using this, forcing the entire rat population to flee the Mansion altogether as their home and safe space has been compromised.

Mythology Gag: Considering 5 out of 16 of the main cast members are members of the Empires SMP, there have been several nods to that: Jimmy is not happy about entering the server via the Toy Room, and claims to have "flashbacks" in relation to toys. He has also explicitly stated that he hates salmon. During his visit, Tommy is seen to own several oddly familiar Sheriff toys, which he claims to be his sons.

Damsel in Distress/Distressed Dude: Any of the rats who are caught and trapped in cages by humans become this; they have 7 minutes to be rescued, otherwise they are killed. However, this can be subverted with the use of Chorus Fruit or an Ender pearl, which allows the consumer/thrower to teleport a few blocks away and thus out of the cage.

Festering Fungus
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_4fba5bf6
comment
Festering Fungus: After the explosion of the Boiler Room, a deadly invasive species of warped fungus begins to grow in the Mansion, concentrated at first in the garden, then in the destroyed Boiler Room as Owen decides to plant a mushroom to get rid of the bug infestation there. Inhaling its spores in large amounts is deadly to rats and humans, granting long-lasting Slowness and later Wither effects, the latter of which can be lethal; even inhaling too much of the fumes in which the fungus is burnt can kill in three days. So far, it has (directly or indirectly) claimed the lives of many of Scott's unnamed family members and Owen (life #1)… but not Shelby, who's from New York and is joked to be Built Different™.note In actuality, Shelby just downed a bottle of milk, which can clear one potion effect — in her case, the Wither effect inflicted by the spores.

Invoked Trope
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_72e0023f
comment
On Day 47, Scott attempts to invoke this by attempting to brew potions that can turn the cats into rats, so he can kill them in revenge. Unfortunately for him and the other rats, brewing potions is not like cooking as he assumed; under the potion's effects, the two cats multiply in numbers, one of the 'clones' gets killed by another clone, two more suddenly drop dead, and the other, newer clones shift in sizes — either enlarging to half the height of a human or shrinking to the size of a termite. The resultant disaster, which Scott ultimately very much regrets, ultimately causes two canon deaths.

Massive Numbered Siblings: Discussed; Martyn claims to have 500 children by the time the series takes place, though none of them are ever seen in the livestreams or episodes.note A later livestream has him claim that he only has two kids, which is likely a reflection of his content creator counterpart's family life. Owen has 461 older siblings.

Celebrity Paradox: Sneeg and Philza from the Origins SMP, a different world, make guest appearances in the series. Aside from a few comments that they look or sound familiar (and Sneeg gifting Scott a Nether star on arrival), the series attempts to side-step the issue that Scott the content creator is on both servers.

comment
Villainy-Free Villain: The human NPCs and cats are by all means reasonable to want rats out of the house — especially the Janitor, who knows the rats are sentient and can do great damage if they want to. However, since the story is told from the perspective of the rats, these antagonistic figures are still unpleasant to be around, and the Janitor in particular is presented as overzealous and terrifying, even to the Icraga children.

Back for the Finale

comment
Back for the Finale: Lizzie accidentally falls asleep after the first few weeks and only wakes up in time for the finale. And then she gets shot by Mr. Icraga with a medieval crossbow. Luckily for her, she still has two lives to spare from being Put on a Bus for most of the series' run-time. After the Janitor is told to pack up and leave about ten days after his debut, he returns for the finale when Mr. Icraga comes home and calls him off leave.

On Day 47, as the snowfall begins, Owen and Olive rejoice in finally being able to have "a normal day where nothing goes wrong". Cue Krow walking up to the group awkwardly asking how things are going, the group immediately deducing something is up, and everyone finding a very vengeful Scott in the Lobby with the cats. Cue a server-wide cat-astrophe.

Humans Are Cthulhu
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_98c2a8f2
comment
Humans Are Cthulhu: The humans are several times taller than the rats, who all but live in perpetual terror hiding from them. While the rats gradually get used to the humans' presence and later help resolve conflicts between the NPCs from afar, and the humans occasionally do help the rats in turn with problems like magical mishaps, the inherent threat of being trapped in a cage with no one to save them in time is always daunting for the rats and a constant in their life in the Mansion.

Don't Celebrate Just Yet: On Day 47, after Scott throws the first couple of potion doses at the cats, they split into four clones which either kill each other or suffocate in the walls. The rats initially gather to celebrate their apparent victory, only to get chased down by the final clone, and the last dose of the potion ends in catastrophe.

Forced Transformation
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_b97a2fa7
comment
Forced Transformation: On Day 39, Will and El are accidentally turned into cats after Oli throws one of the Eldest Daughter's potions on them, and have only until midnight that day to undo the effects before they become cats permanently. On Day 47, Scott attempts to invoke this by attempting to brew potions that can turn the cats into rats, so he can kill them in revenge. Unfortunately for him and the other rats, brewing potions is not like cooking as he assumed; under the potion's effects, the two cats multiply in numbers, one of the 'clones' gets killed by another clone, two more suddenly drop dead, and the other, newer clones shift in sizes — either enlarging to half the height of a human or shrinking to the size of a termite. The resultant disaster, which Scott ultimately very much regrets, ultimately causes two canon deaths.

Sweet Tooth: Tubbo's favourite food is stated to be sugar. Not sweets, sugar. And apparently, if he doesn't have sugar… things get messy. Lizzie's favourite is said to be toffee, but since she's asleep for most of the series, it's hard to say for sure. One of Oliver's favourite foods is melatonin gummies. The other is important time-sensitive documents in the law office.

Shout-Out
 Rats SMP (Lets Play) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the toys in the Toy Room is a stylized fox in a suit that looks similar to the Minecraft skin of fellow content creator Seapeekay. Some of the server-members go as far as to say the toy looks familiar to them. The garden gnome that El builds for the second human Gardener is split into two due to its large size. Scott modifies it so that both ends are sticking out of portals. Martyn spends several days in a maid dress, donning long, blond twintails in a distinctive hairstyle. Multiple people have referred to this as Ratsune Miku. An 'angel' statue in the garden which has its eyes covered. Considering it has moved to different locations between episodes/livestreams, it is suspiciously implied a Weeping Angel, though the series ends before anything concrete is said about it. When the first snow hits the Mansion on Day 47, the rats looking over the garden from Owen's balcony start quoting "Let It Go" lyrics. While hiding in the Attic-linked bathroom from the vicious cat clones, Jimmy points through the trapdoor near the entrance and compares the three clones to 'Draco', 'Crabbe', and 'Goyle', nearly getting mauled to death through the open trapdoor in the process. When the Ballroom is opened, Martyn, Scott, and Bek start singing "Be Our Guest".

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Most of the Icraga household treat the rats this way. Half the mischief of rats gathering on your library table having a Courtroom Episode? Walk away. A sudden uptick in the Mansion's feline population, which may or may not size-shift? Ignore them. The Janitor is the only one who considers the rats an active threat to the Mansion, while the Eldest Daughter is a Punch-Clock Villain who doesn't mind them as long as they don't mess with her stuff.

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: A few of the rats have decidedly unnatural fur/hair colours, like Acho (lilac), Lizzie (pink), and Scott (light blue). Acho's case is justified, being a former pet fancy rat living with unconventional humans (and his fur is revealed to be naturally white in his finale), but the other two have no excuse.

No Party Like a Donner Party: Tubbo is first found locked in a cupboard with Shelby, allegedly for 3 years. This, apparently, has caused him to be driven to killing a nest of rat babies and cannibalizing on burgers made from them for survival. Shelby has no recollection of this, not knowing she had consumed ratlings. When the Janitor enters the attic on the hunt, the rats flee onto the roof and Oli proposes choosing a rat to eat to survive the winter. Everyone objects to this plan of action.

Dark and Troubled Past: Oli's mother apparently "died long ago from rat diseases" and his father was apparently flushed down the toilet, causing him to turn to rummaging through garbage for survival. He's also been confirmed to have an absurdly large number of dead family members. The reason Jimmy is the Safety Rat is apparently because his old house burnt down with his family in it. Billzo the goat escaped from a slaughterhouse-farm and was on the run after his parents were sent off to the glue factory, only to stumble across the Mansion the rats were residing.
