History YMMV / StampysLovelyWorld

** What happened to Lee Bear after he left the SLW? And where did all the other Helpers run off to?
*** Sqaishey made a cameo in Episode 528, "Fire and Water" and has stated that [[https://twitter.com/ohhhtheo/status/1359814472257466373 they help behind the scenes in the SLW]] on top of [[ElsewhereFic their work]] [[SharedUniverse in Feather Adventures]]... which ties back to the off-camera lives point as mentioned above.

* ItWasHisSled: [=HitTheTarget=] is evil, Veeva Dash is evil, Lee left, William, Polly, and Fizzy replaced him, [[spoiler:Corey and Bengy died in the 700th episode]] and [[spoiler:[=HitTheTarget=] won.]] All of these things are well-known because of the series' popularity.

* MagnificentBastard: Veeva Dash is seemingly a Minecraft helper and good friend towards Stampy Cat, but is revealed to be the girlfriend and partner in crime of Hit The Target. Pretending to be an ally of him to gain Stampy's trust, she promptly betrays him and lures him to the castle to release a wither on him. She proceeds to become the technical genius of the duo of crimes, making extremely ingenious contraptions such as mind control devices, lasers, and a voice stealing contraction. She also shows an extreme tenacity, using invisibility potions and crafty schemes to try and defeat Stampy and his allies, even luring Stampy into a trap with a voice disguising parrot. Forming a temporary alliance with Stampy to get out of a dangerous situation, [[spoiler:Veeva decides to redeem herself, sending warnings to him about Hit The Target's schemes and plots. During the series finale, Veeva Dash helps Stampy stealthily by hitting him with a invisibility potion to rescue him from Hit The Target, and when Stampy decides to give Hit The Target his world in order to protect his friends and dogs, Veeva Dash abandons Hit The Target and joins Stampy and his friends for a new adventure]].

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Stampy's world is so old, he didn't have access to any new materials from new biomes for a very long time. In a series that's all about creating buildings and minigames, not having access to new materials and mechanics is a pretty big problem. Granted, Stampy could have just gotten the materials by going into Creative Mode, but Stampy tries to be subtle about the staged aspects of Lovely World. As a result, Stampy would get around this problem by having "Santa" give him those new materials each Christmas.

** There have been a few moments in later episodes where Stampy refers to Fizzy with they/them pronouns as well, although it's possible there is an out-of-universe explanation for this depending on who is acting as Fizzy in the episode.

** The second half of Episode 670, "Hacked", [[spoiler:involves the Helpers taking down Hit The Target and Veeva Dash in the Nether, while Stampy stays in the Lovely World [[TheLoad due to having his permissions taken away]].]] Given how Hit The Target can speak in the Nether, and one of his beliefs is that Stampy treats the Helpers like slaves, it would have been the perfect opportunity to [[spoiler:switch to Helper Cam a la ''Hero Helpers'' and have Hit The Target try to convince William, Polly, and Fizzy to betray Stampy. Instead, the entire battle takes place off-screen.]] To be fair, though, what happened during that period of time would definitely make good FanficFuel.

** Episode 184, "Clone Calamity" was considered one of the LighterAndSofter [=HitTheTarget=] attacks (though several minor characters get KilledOffForReal in the episode)... until Episode 700, "Tragic Day" is released, [[spoiler:where the concept of the previous attack is recycled and [[ExaggeratedTrope taken up a thousand notches]], with [[TearJerker/StampysLovelyWorld disastrous results]].]]

* {{Fanon}}: All of the "anthropomorphic animal" characters have received three variations of designs--humanized, as ''actual'' {{funny animal}}s, or [[LittleBitBeastly a mixture of both]]. Stampy himself seems to have a small preference for the latter type, as said during a Love Garden sequence, but overall likes all three.

* CatharsisFactor: Although some viewers may feel bad for [=HitTheTarget=] after "I Won" due to him being stuck in Stampy's trap, other viewers who are less sympathetic towards him may feel it to be well-deserved after everything he's done to Stampy and co. over the course of almost ''nine years''. [[InUniverseCatharsis Character-Stampy himself holds the latter view]], naturally, though he still admits to feeling bad to leaving HTT to spend the holidays in the trap as well.

** Is Veeva Dash really as much of a villain as she seems? A [=YouTuber=] by the name of 'Stampy Theories' once made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb1t3NoV_OU two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn7s74gwuew part]] video arguing that she was secretly good, or at least had been lied to in a similar manner as to how HTT tricked Stampy in "Revelation", and another [=YouTuber=] by the name of [=SierraNightlight=] -- who also acts as a [[WordOfDante moderator on Stampy's livestreams]] -- expanded upon that theory in her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsJpUiWJ_qA Lovely World Iceberg video.]]

** As mentioned on the YMMV page for WebVideo/{{Stampylongnose}}, any episode with Lee after [[spoiler:it was found out he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman, and was subsequently kicked off the show.]]

** The [[spoiler:deaths of Bengy and Corey, and [[DisneyDeath apparently Fluffy]]]] in Episode 700, "Tragic Day", especially since [[spoiler:they've been around since the early days of the series, with Corey being the youngest among them (and the second youngest dog in the pack for the bulk of the series) as he was tamed in 2014, while the other two were tamed during the ''Lovely World Classic'' era]]. The SpoilerTitle does absolutely nothing to prevent the shock of the incident or help the viewers pog through the pain, as evident by the comments section being flooded with fans [[spoiler:mourning their deaths]]. [[spoiler:While Fluffy was eventually revealed to be [[DisneyDeath alive all along]], Bengy and Corey are definitely not making a comeback anytime soon.]]

* DracoInLeatherPants: In the sense of being an AntiHero on occasion, Stampy has been perceived as being morally better than [[BigBad [=HitTheTarget=]]] by proxy of not being TheCaligula, in comparison to HTT himself. This is in spite of ''what'' Stampy has done over the years to both his Helpers and his enemies, establishing his moral greyness, such as doing NecessarilyEvil acts and having [[MomentOfWeakness Moments of Weakness]] that show he isn't as pure as he first seems. On the ''other'' hand, HTT deservedly does ''not'' get romanticized by the audience, of whom see him for the evil person he is.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The kid-friendly version of "fanservice". Stampy has multiple videos showing himself building and adding things to the landscape of his World, but since these episodes are seen as boring, his viewers instead go for [=HitTheTarget=]-centric episodes, as well as any episodes themed around a tradition, like the Christmas episodes, as they are able to give the viewers some level of excitement, which ends up also making them the most popular. The 100th and 823rd episode especially suffer this, the former being a celebration of the first triple-digit occurrence in the series and the latter being the long-awaited GrandFinale his viewers have been desperate for, both of which are immensely popular too.
