It's really funny seeing people think that Miss is short (mostly because I think they're misinterpreting the kids' heights). So here's their canon heights/ages

Aika (15 y/o) 5'2"

Zira (16 y/o) 5'5"

Eclipse (15 y/o) 5'7"

Miss (39 y/o) 5'8"

Lady DeVoid (ageless) 7'3" + some with horns

Could you do a comparison of the first concept of your characters vs the final version? I’m really curious about the process behind it and how much they changed

They're really not that different hahaha (except for DeVoid). Miss was also a special case because she started off as an incid but developed into a main cast character

AIKA

ZIRA

HOSHI

ECLIPSE

DEVOID

MISS

I had absolutely nothing else to do at work, so I drew Aika from @kianamaiart's "I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl" because I've fallen in love with it recently!!! Tried to work with making her expressive because I struggle with it!

I was overpowered by the dabloon gods and finished this at 1AM two days ago. I have so many dabloons. I have a problem.

As a Twitter transferee(?) I just want to say - why was I so scared of this platform for so long? Was I simply in denial about the platform actually being decent because of it's reputation? I know that I had reasonable doubts because I've seen... things... from this platform. But now that I'm here, I've been informed that I can live peacefully in my fanbases? With less drama? AND I can filter things out of my feed and an algorithm won't shove it down my throat anyway? I can be as cringe as I want to? This is freedom.

made a beginners guide for the twitter newbies hope this helps <3

I firmly believe there should be more climbing in my life. I should have to climb a little cliff when I go to school. This is why I have a bunk bed

So Elon bought Twitter. I'm honestly not gonna push away Twitter newcomers, but if you're in the MCYT fandom you need to understand that the social etiquette and expectations and culture here are very different than over on Twitter. So as someone who's been an active part of mcytblr for two years now, I'd like to offer some thoughts and advice!

One: Shipping. MCYT communities on Tumblr have always tended to lean more tolerant towards shipping of roleplay characters due to the idea that this is a space for fans primarily. The creators who visit or actively use Tumblr like Eret and Martyn understand that this is a fan space primarily, and don't bother us for the content we make, and we don't bother them with it.

The number one worst thing you could do is share shipping content with creators who have not asked for it. This is a huge social faux pas here. Secondly, on the other end — writing callout posts for shippers here isn't gonna fly. Even for RPF shippers and people who may ship boundary-breaking pairings, our default is usually to not engage with these people rather than publicly call them out. It makes the space a healthier place for everyone and makes it much less likely that CCs may come across content they are uncomfortable with. It's also considered a social faux pas to ask CCs their opinions and boundaries on shipping, since that's bringing it up when they didn't ask!

Speaking of shipping, people typically don't mind you maintagging ship content so long as you also tag it as shipping so people can filter it. For Hermitcraft the tag is hermitshipping, Life Series has trafficshipping, and the lesser known DSMP tag is dsmpshipping.

Two: Reblogging. This is something a lot of newer users tend to struggle with. There is no algorithm on Tumblr, at least not one that works, so content creators rely on you reblogging their work in order for it to spread. If you see a fic or piece of art you enjoy, please reblog it! I often reblog art for MCYT fandoms I'm not even personally in.

Three: Tagging (again). There are a wide variety of tags you can use for your content! The most common tags you'll want to use are "mcyt" and "mcytblr", and any relevant series, pairing/group or character/CC names. However, please don't use the tag "minecraft"! Minecraft has an entirely separate fanbase on Tumblr that we co-exist with and have some overlap with, but don't necessarily appreciate seeing MCYT content in their tags. Any tag with "minecraft" in it is also a no-no, such as "minecraft youtubers" or "minecraft championships". Please use shorthands!

Four: Opinions on MCYT drama tend to be very different here than they are on Twitter. For instance, you should assume by default that most bloggers here either like or are completely neutral towards "problematic CCs" like Schlatt. But also, we tend to be very against spreading anything originating from leakers, and we also tend to not be fond of making posts "holding CCs accountable" for things they did years ago. Generally, mcytblr prefers to be a more drama-free community, and if you do engage in discourse, many would appreciate you tagging it as such!

Five: CCs do not need you to babysit them.

Generally speaking you will see a lot of jokes and memes on mcytblr that wouldn't fly on Twitter, and it is generally looked down upon to try to speak on behalf of CCs personal boundaries — they are grown adults, and you are a stranger! Calling out or harassing people for "breaking boundaries" is mostly just going to get you looked at strangely, especially if you don't have a source for your claims. Most of us will stop doing something if asked, but we don't need stans to tell us to! CCs can speak for themselves when uncomfortable.

Six: Most mcytblr blogs don't want CC notices. There are quite a few CCs who are active here, but the community is chill with them as they don't tend to talk about us elsewhere and allow us to do our own thing. We do not, however, like encouraging CCs to join Tumblr or to follow us or reblog our posts — many people here actually prefer being out of sight of CCs and many of us consider it rude to seek out attention from CCs outside of sending the occasional ask.

Please treat CCs kindly and don't gawk at them like you just saw a celebrity on the street — the ones who are active here are just Tumblr users like the rest of you! Seeing Eret reblog fanart or respond to an ask isn't something to point out.

While we joke about Twitter users joining, we don't actually have anything against you guys, it's just that we've built a very different community here and ask that you respect it and the etiquette we've come to establish! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your stay on mcytblr ^_^

Listen twitter people ( specifically mcyt twitter) who may be seeing this: you are on tumblr now. Forget your twitter ways, they do not exist because TWITTER "RULES" DO NOT APPLY HERE.

TAG YOUR STUFF FOR STARTERS. You want your content to be seen? Tag it. Plus people block tags becausr of triggers SO MCYTTWT IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRAMA BLOG TAG IT.

IF YOU ARE TAGGING TRIGGERS use the trigger THEN the tw/cw!

REBLOG CONTENT. As you've probably seen, tumblr has no algorithm which makes it hard for artists and writers to have their content seen. LIKES MEAN NOTHING HERE

CHANGE YOUR PFP, YOUR BANNER, INTERACT WITH CONTENT if you don't you will get blocked because people will think you are a bot.

BLOCK PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE, DO NOT HARASS THEM. I hate that needs to be said but i see it so much on twitter. Bestie the block button exists USE IT

GENERAL RULE: DON'T BE A DICK

A little reminder too twitter people as well, YOU create YOUR TUMBLR EXPERIENCE. Interact with what YOU like and block what YOU don't like.

Have a nice day :D

Hello Tumblr, given that this is my first post. Anyway, earlier this morning we cut down a tree because it was causing damages to our house, we didn't know it belonged to this baby squirrel and we are taking care of it until tomorrow when we can contact a rescue. (No one answered our calls today, so we went to PetSmart to get some supplies to make food, and the cashier knew someone but we can't contact them until tomorrow.)
