#i was in a server a while ago with a bunch of ppl with Minecraft phds and it was a bit scary like how are we playing the same game

[purpurussy]

thing is if dnp actually cared about minecraft in the slightest lmao I could see them being such a quintessential minecraft couple. Dan would be strip mining and building mob farms to provide Phil with materials to make a cute base and a little farm with a bunch of pets. neither of them would really understand redstone

wait??? how did you (almost) end up in a mrbeast video?? :O

ohmygosh okay so

with my good old lifelong youtube special interest, i had a period where i was just FASCINATED by all the actual workings behind the various mrbeast channels (and the story of how he got there), particularly mrbeast gaming (which was basically just minecraft videos)

and- ok this might just turn into an infodump for a sec cause i find the operations of it rlly interesting sdfsdk. i had a wonderful rabbit hole week where i watched a ton of videos from the perspectives of ppl who were actually in those challenges, which led me to find out about the mrbeast gaming discord server...

A monstrous thing with 60,000 members and zero channels you can talk in (thank god). It took a while to even JOIN cause it was always at member limit.

The whole thing basically got nuked last year and reformed into some sort of fortnite thing that ive never quite looked at since, but the way it worked was members would fill out a google form with their discord info, and anytime they needed people for a video they'd use some kind of bot that randomly selected a bunch of those form submissions, and checked them against people whose discord accounts were currently online. those accounts would be given a role that let them into some extra discord channels that held the relevant details for whatever the event was.

I joined the server, filled out the thing, and months later, ACTUALLY GOT SELECTED

a couple hundred people, if i recall correctly, had been as well, and the mods announced they were going to hold interviews over a couple hour period later that week, looking for people to be in a future unspecified video.

the odds of me having even gotten to this were crazy so i was already hyped, but i kept my hopes low just to manage it all sbjdhf

The interviews were done in five voice chats, with enough room for one player and a mod. someone would join, get interviewed, then leave the call, then there was a split second opportunity to click on that call with just the right timing as a hundred other people tried to do the same.

somehow, i got in one! i was interviewed by a guy called brethoodie, who was the actual head of mrbeast gaming behind the scenes?? I think??? and like-it actually went super well. we were vibing and it was just a really nice conversation tbh. he had a question they asked like 'if you won 100k and had to spend it on something for urself (rather than donate it, pay off debt, all the other realistic but generic responses), what would you do?' and i thought abt it and realised that in this fantasy land, i'd go all out crazy on materials for some kind of massive art project or sculpture type creation, and he said that was one of the most interesting responses he'd had!!

after that i continued to watch the voice channels and i realised that at the rate they went, they really couldve only interviewed like. i dunno. 20-40 people max? so i was feeling PRETTY good about my chances. he said theyd get back to me in a week or two if i'm in, but I just never heard anything back.

which was like, fine? was disappointed ofc but like. Oh Well. it was an interesting time regardless

a couple months later a video came out, i figure this was the one they'd been working on so i have a look and...

thats

well, that's not me. but it is someone with a STRIKINGLY similar username to the sleepyyghostt that i am

Now, its perfectly possible that i just simply didn't get picked. but a part of me..... like really wonders if they got the usernames mixed up somewhere along the line. like maybe the hoodie guy was like, oh who was that person i talked to, sleepy something? (grabs a different sleepy someone) You!

or maybe, they just picked other people. which is fine! i just.. i told this whole story to my friend a couple weeks ago and they were INSISTENT that they totally meant to pick me and my conspiracy theory was correct x_x

either way!!!!! an interesting story!!!

blaseball explained by someone who knows (almost) nothing about blaseball

ello!!! i grew bored and decided! why not just talk about what i know about blaseball. that’s my entire reasoning for this post didnndndndkdnr.

while i may know almost nothing about blaseball, the ppl in the 77 2 discord server are very into it! so pretty much everything i know about it is based off me seeing them talk about it there and on their blogs dkdmkdnd.

so!! blaseball is like normal baseball. except it’s not. why is it not like normal baseball? i have absolutely no idea it just isn’t. i don’t even know about regular baseball. there’s been like,, 16-17 seasons, currently. and there’s a bunch of teams,, like uh. tacos and millennials and garages and others. i remember when i Tried to get into it i really liked this person named jaiden hotdogfingers or something like that purely because of their name.

here’s my dramatic rendition of when i first tried to understand what the heck blaseball was(during like a game between the garages and the millennials, who i thought were just. windmills fjkdmdkdmfnftj). i felt like it was vital for me to share this.

there’s also peanuts??? which is either a currency or something you throw at the players. maybe both. you can pay(peanut money of course) to like. do stuff? like increase chances of certain things happening? or something?

and there’s like different status effects players can get. i think there’s at least nine?? the only reason i know is because of this post(which is made by a Very Cool Person and you should definitely go follow him). now i have no idea what exactly they Do,, but. they exist. there’s uhh

echo! which i don’t even know where to begin with guessing what it does

siphon! which i suppose drains a players health? do they even have health????

alternate, which i guess??? replaces the player with an alternate version of themselves?? which isn’t the weirdest thing i know happens here.

fire eater: you eat fire. yummy. ok but fr you are now just a fire hazard i guess kfndkdndkdnr

friend of crows: you are now philza minecraft. that’s it that’s all i got for this.

hard boiled: you are???? trapped in an egg?????????? or based off the earlier picture you are now wearing a suit. i guess. i have no idea how eggs and suits are related.

scattered: you are scattered across time and space i guess

elsewhere: you are elsewhere :) simple as that :)

static: either a player is in the static (idk if that’s a place or not) or they are just missing or something.

and also!! wyatt mason. until like idk an hour ago?? i thought there was just one, MaX,, but Apparently Not. now i have no idea How Many there are, at least like. five. probably more. i mean apparently there’s only two now(maybe just one since apparently the ivy wyatt got yeeted somewhere). according to leo apparently the og wyatt duplicated and stuff and then his whole team was just wyatts. and the og wyatt got turned into NaN and or the microphone. and apparently he’s also missing. also the only reason i know of MaX is bc xey are leo’s favorite character in blaseball i think which 👏👏 pog.

also????? there’s a hecking peanut god. or maybe there was one idk if they are gone now or what. players could get shelled and stuff. idk what that entailed but like. they could. pretty sure someone(maybe jaiden) got shelled twice. using peanut currency may or may not have fed it. and there might have also been a squid god thing. i vaguely remember watching a season recap and there being a squid there. the squid may have beaten up the peanut. then again i have a terrible memory so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

and uh. i think that’s all i know fjdkdnksmskdnrjr.

anyway time for my obligatory play underhero /j

Okay hi!!! I see a lot of ppl on mineblr intros and introductions aren’t really my strong point but I can try!

I’m Kirran, I’m 16, and I’ve been wanting to make a mineblr for a long while but only recently got around to it!! In terms of Minecraft I mostly play on PC or switch but I do have PE (if it’s still called that anymore??) I’m a trans gay dude and Minecraft belongs to me now

I started playing Minecraft on PE on my cousins server that was really big at the time (the really big “Freedom” server from WAAAY back when, 6 or 7 years ago)

My favorite mods are pams harvest craft and optifine (if that even COUNTS as a mod) but I play vanilla with my friends for the most part!!

I draw a BUNCH and will probably be posting art on here later but until then have some of my favorite Mc screens!!!
