I have done some EXTREMELY important math. As we all know, there are 10 teams of 4 in MCC, which means there are 40 contestants. There are 10 Hermits participating in MCC this time, which means a fourth of the contestants are Hermits.

25% percent Hermits, and the teams without Hermits either have their friends or people that aren't toxic sweats. We are having fun in MCC this month, we are cooking!!!

the concept of "lore" ruined discussion of mcrp because like. people use it to mean some kind of weird hybrid of plotline and worldbuilding but ONLY if the server is drama-focused otherwise it doesn't count i guess.

so you get people saying like. hermitcraft isn't a lore server. smplive isn't a lore server. sdmp isn't a lore server. and it's like yeah this is true because "lore server" is a meaningless slop category you guys made up. they very much have plotlines and worldbuilding though 💀

this might just be because i'm a bit older than your average mcyt fan, but it makes me kind of sad to see all these younger fans scramble to wipe their mcyt fanworks off the internet the second a content creator is revealed to have done something awful.

don't get it twisted, I'm a big believer in rescinding financial support to ccs you no longer agree with or admire by unsubscribing, deciding not to buy merch, or refusing to give them ad revenue by watching their content. if you don't feel comfortable giving someone money, don't give them your money. material support isn't what i'm talking about here - I'm talking about fanfic, fansongs, fanart. yknow, content that fans create for themselves and each other, stuff that's not for ccs.

in the past year (and especially the past week, obviously) i've seen tons of mcyt fans saying they're planning to delete their art (or that they already have deleted) because they don't want their work to be associated with content creators who behaved badly, and that they want "a fresh start." I've seen fan writers say the same thing about their fics. and like, this is fine, do what you want with your stuff, but i'll be honest...it does make me sad that so many younger fans seemingly have been made to feel such a high degree of responsibility for ccs that they're unable to enjoy fandom (a thing that is FOR US! FOR YOU!) or take any measure of pride in their past fanworks.

again, at the end of the day you should do what you want with your own shit. but what i will say is, if what you want to do with your work is delete it, at least think first about why you're considering the nuclear option. you aren't responsible for a cc's behavior, and that goes for literally anyone who's ever had a hand in making anything you like: books, movies, games, anything. you shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of having created fan content for a piece of media that a shitty person was involved in making. straight up, this kind of shame isn't something i believe should exist in fandom, because it's parasocial in the same way that positive emotions towards media/creators can be parasocial.

and also, as someone who's been involved in fandom for a long time, i can say with confidence that creators will keep disappointing you like this. there are shitty people out there. if you're searching for a piece of media with zero shitty people ever involved in the project, you will not find it. i'm not saying this to normalize shitty behavior on the part of creators, I'm saying this to emphasize that bearing the shame and guilt of every creator to this degree is not sustainable or healthy (and it's not how fandom used to operate, but that's a conversation for another day, perhaps.)

i understand why so many folks are considering deleting their fanworks, and if that's you...think about it before you do it. that's all i'm asking. you don't want to create a habit of divesting yourself of all evidence of having been passionate about art created by someone who sucks, because if you do get into that habit, then your chances of ever truly enjoying a fandom again are, unfortunately, pretty slim.

Y'know in hindsight the scattered au was really, really obviously made in late 2020/early 2021. Right in the middle of the height of the lockdown

“why does it take Mojang months to release a single block that takes modder a 15 minutes?” because when Mojang releases a block that is one pixel smaller than usual, scicraft will use it to trap a warden in a farm to create 1.6 trillion diamond blocks per minute and that’s a lot of pressure to be under to polish

cubfan135 fact #140:

In his Season 10 Episode 6, Cub conducted an experiment to determine wether strip mining or caving was a more efficient method for mining diamonds in Minecraft version 1.20.2.

Cub dedicated over ten and a half hours to each method, and found that strip mining produced 2.7 diamonds per minute while cave mining produced 3.86 diamonds per minute. That's about 1.16 extra diamonds per minute! Cave mining also produced 214% more diamonds than his previous study in Season 9 before the 1.20.2 update.

"Basically, the conclusion is... Dear god, for the love of god, if you're strip mining, stop it! Get some help!" -cubfan135
