No one can stop me, for only I am in control.

[ Image ID: Two drawings of Krowfang on a plain black background:

In the top left, there is a drawing of Krow from the shoulders up. It is looking to the right with a neutral expression. Its hair is shoulder length, and its bangs cover its eyes. There's text to the left of the drawing that reads "Testing vibe lol :P"

On the right, there is a drawing of Krow sitting atop a throne. It's looking to the left with a smile. It's wearing a long, dark robe, and there is a bulky chain dangling from its neck and resting on its chest. Its legs are crossed over each other. It's holding a wine glass full of blood, which is pointed toward the ground and spilling. The text surrounding it reads "In my crown, I am king. I love their endless worshiping." Below the word "worshiping" is a bloody heart. /End ID ]

god there are so many little bits of outsiders that make me want to chew glass. in an effort to exorcise some thoughts:

there's something really fantastically horrifying about how much visual and mental space the maze takes up for almost all of the server's run, contrasted with the fact that we learn in the owenge q&a that the maze is one of multiple scenarios, built by STARR for a handful of seasons and ultimately meaning nothing. all this about learning the maze, this structure that was the outsiders' whole world for what they believed to be years, and it was a set piece that might not ever be used again. i can't stop thinking about the fact that on the literal actual minecraft server, the maze was built floating in the sky, and like, yeah. it was for this one server and nothing else. i get why you'd build it like that, in terms of practical concerns, but god. to know that thing never even touched the 'actual' ground.

hey. cc!owen PLAYS A GOOD FUCKING HEEL. oh my god he's good at playing the bad guy. this is not like thoughtful analysis at all but being able to hear so clearly the shift in tone when he goes into hunting mode, the willingness to just let things sit in silence, the way he completely sells a character's absolute conviction. the way when he has a knife in his mostly-empty hotbar during Spill Your Guts the distance between the currently selected slot and the knife right next to it feels like a tangible weight somehow!

speaking of which. please tell me the berries in his hotbar during his demon killing spree aren't raspberries. i can't actually identify them because i'm not familiar with the mod but i think if they're raspberries i would simply explode into a million bits of confetti.

hey remember how there was a giant underground reservoir beneath the clearing containing the skeleton of some enormous creature? was that fucked up or what.

hey also remember how one of the last written records left by the people who died in the frozen clearing was about how at least their friends got to die peacefully, in their sleep? remember how the maze was full of notes scribbled on pieces of paper and scrawled in blood on the walls trying to warn them, begging them to get out, hoping against hope that their last words might mean something? remember how mohwee's last words to the outsiders were take care of each other? they tried so hard to look out for each other, and whether they ever did it especially well is an open question but MAN. you can't say they didn't try.

even after deciding apo can rot down in the prison, owen still says, "the next time i see him is when i go shackle his hands together, and drag him through that maze to get him out." in the wake of the [don't dirty my name again] conversation, owen promises rasbi, "we came up together, we're gonna get out of here together." even with his faith in -- and i think i will argue that this is accurate phrasing -- the world shattered, owen has no concept of actually leaving either of them behind. he can't even imagine it. ;-; .

i don't know what the event is called in canon so i'm going to refer to it as [the clearing event with the scuffed mcc energy], the one where acho drowns, and it delights me that the nature of the medium is such that sometimes when owen says something, it becomes true because he said it. (i mean, this is true for all of them, but i say owen because he's the one i watched and he has an interesting degree of narrative control by virtue of having such a comprehensive pov.) acho didn't die in a way that minecraft the game would necessarily call a death, i'm not convinced what happened to him was distinguishable from what the characters call being 'downed' in the maze, but because owen said it, on some level, yeah, acho did die in there. isn't it so fun how you can kill someone by saying they died? reach back through linear time and make true what wasn't before? and i think about this and i think about how often owen declared apo dead, and how it makes apo not just a ghost but a sort of schrodinger's cat. apo is alive except no he isn't except yes he is. reality is so frighteningly malleable in mcrp.

what happens if i post art here?? (really proud of this piece :3c)

[erstwhilesparrow]

c!Owen !!

POSE WAS INSPIRED BY SOMETHING I FOUND ON PINTEREST BTW!!

I absolutely love c!Owen’s lore, and his character in general😭😭

[erstwhilesparrow]

I really wanna know more about the outsiders world. But mainly the maze. Like yes it's a massive place with an insanely high budget but how realistic is the place that no one noticed something was off for so long.

The sky is fake, the watchers can control the time. But how does rain work? Are there sprinklers on top that no one can see? How advanced is their technology that they can do that?

If cOwen can shoot at the ceiling with no damage how strong is it? You could argue that as he shoots it, it loses power and force but the arrows get stuck in the ceiling. So it definitely lands and hits it with no visible damage.

How does the farming work? Why is it that crops can grow in seconds and do no damage to the land. Is this something they've developed just for the maze? Do they use this outside the maze to solve a world hunger issue? I need answers STARR
