#<- mod is not sure what to do so i just tagged the smps i mentioned

[real-camera]

I have never watched Minecraft SMPs in my life but your reblogs are making me very curious. Where should I start?

It really depends on what sort of SMP you are interested in. There’s SMPs like Hermitcraft where they build stuff i guess??

I’m not sure if the Life Series (Third Life, Last Life, etc) are SMPs, but I suppose if you want recommendations, the only ones I can give are Hermitcraft and the Life Series. I don’t watch a lot of SMPs so I’ll just list the SMPs I know.

Outsiders SMP (This was a lore/roleplay server that ended but the plot was pretty good.)

Hermitcraft

Life Series (Third Life, Last Life, Double Life, Limited Life, Secret Life, and that’s all currently)

Lifesteal SMP

Kaboodle SMP (This is a lore/roleplay SMP, it just ended its second season.)

QSMP (Not sure what this is in terms of roleplay or not)

Pirates SMP (I think this one ended, but it’s also somewhat a lore/roleplay server.)

Empires SMP (There’s two seasons, and both ended. Also a roleplay server)

That’s all I could think of but I would recommend looking around for SMPs or servers yourself! Some of them might be streamed on Twitch or uploaded as VODs.

[antimony-medusa]

One of the things that I think sometimes gets lost when we talk about what's appropriate in fandom spaces is the notion that things can be appropriate in one space, but not for another. And that doesn't mean that the thing that's inappropriate in that setting is wrong, it just means that it's rude in that space. I think people want a single set of rules that's appropriate everywhere, but the thing is, you have to be able to assess the situation, and adjust your behaviour accordingly.

So an example. I have a fairly popular text post that was me asking about c!phil and religion in all innocence, and someone said "the only thing I have to say about c!phil is that he worships on his knees, thank you and goodnight". And I reblogged it like "I can't believe I forgot about how this fandom does phil analysis", cause it was at the height of the dilfza memes.

Anyways that's obviously a phil-is-happily-married/oral sex joke, in an oblique innuendo way, and on this site, where Phil is not here, and his friends are not here, with it being clear I was talking about the block man character, and we make jokes about sex and profanity (a very popular url scheme for a long time was "[name]shugecock" (or smalldick, depending on the joke)— that's a fine joke to make. I'm an adult, I can make sex jokes about fictional characters on the sex joke fictional character social media site.

If I was to make that joke in Philza's twitch chat, a) in his face, b) with his wife modding, c) in an enviroment where people aren't prepped for sex jokes, d) with it being not clear if I was talking about the cubito or about the real guy, that would be wildly inappopriate. I would be banned in every chat Philza mods in and I would deserve it.

That doesn't mean that it's inappropriate to make the joke in the first place though, just because I wouldn't do it at a Phil meet and greet. It means you gotta learn to read the room. (And like, sometimes it's hard to learn to read the room, but you can do it by pure brute-force memorization. I did.)

This is the same theory that underlies the fact that you can call your friends a bitch in a friendly way, because you are friends and you know each other's boundaries, but if you call your boss a bitch, you will be fired. There are rules about workplace appropriateness, and there are rules about what's appropriate in front of kids (I teach teens, I do not swear in front of them, I swear a LOT in front of my roommate), and there are rules about what's appropriate in different fandom spaces. Participating in an exchange about pregnancy and babies with your favourite blorbo of the moment? Great. Showing the actor gift art you got of him pregnant? No. Bad. Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

The thing that concerns me is that I think there are slight signs that as we get more comfortable with sexy jokes and offcolour remarks as a MCYT fandom (QSMP is the big banner example but it happens with other smps), we're taking what's appropriate in one space (tumblr, home of the brain worms, where I have seen the blog "philzaswetpussy" on my dash), and we're bringing it into places that it's not appropriate (sure, slimeariana is clearly canon, but maybe don't put the actual dicks-out fan art in the art tag on twitter that slime checks). Cause we can obviously tell that the rules twitter is going with are silly for here, so it's full speed ahead for roier/spreen etc, but the trick here is that it's full speed ahead HERE, or in fandom servers, and not necessarily in the streamer's faces.

We have a bunch of situations where creators have said that it's not their place to weigh in on shipping or nsfw etc, and people have taken that as a go ahead and that's fine, but thats still something where I'd like, caution people that just because they said "not gonna look at it not my deal", that doesn't mean that like, you should make it difficult for them to avoid looking at it. Talking about scitties is an honourable tradition, but telling scar that he makes you question your sexuality in his TTS— I made a horrified noise in real life and the cats came to look at me.

And I'm talking about the shipping, but this is also a thing with like— sometimes I see a streamer and I go "my friend you just vividly described neurodivergent symptoms" but it is ABSOLUTELY not my place to say that in their chat. It might not even be appropriate to make comments about it on my blog, with the amount of followers I have. I have to keep the "streamer just described the ADHD experience again :pensive:" comments for the group chat. And we all nod and go "yeah sounds like streamer", and we do not put it in his face, cause that's inappropriate.

We get to have fun with the fictional characters, including off-colour fun, but we still have to remember that there are real people who don't know us who are steering those fictional characters around, and it can be profoundly weird to see some of the (stuff that is appropriate in fandom spaces!) just up in your face in the regular fan art tag.

Just think about the space you're in, and who you're in front of, and if a CC notice is actually likely, and if a CC notice would be Very Bad actually with what you're doing, and keep the "world's sluttiest absent father" bracket (with associated slutty fan art) for here, not with the streamer tagged on twitter.

[samus159]

I had a dream last night where I was in Content SMP, so I’m gonna write it down as much as I can remember

It started like it was supposed to be the first day of the SMP I think, but based on the surroundings it felt more like either there was a lot of prep done (fancy buildings, more elaborate mods, a Wynncraft style fighting system), or it wasn’t the first day and it was just my first day, I can’t remember/not sure.

I tagged along with Rat and I think Asai or Arathane, someone with an A name, and we went and did standard Minecraft stuff and explored for a while until we went to Winsweep's grand opening deal. When we got there though, this venue, a huge domed stadium, was filled with netherack for some reason, so Winsweep had hired a bunch of players to mine out the netherack so the celebration could begin.

Us three decide to join and help, and while I was mining out the netherack, a silverfish popped out of a block and I attacked it, but accidentally killed/broke this Warden that was being used as decoration (was posed and just standing there until the silverfish spawned and made it agro), which I got called out on and was just kinda like "I dunno man a silverfish spawned and your fragile warden got in the way."

A bit more mining later and Win called everyone over to sing him happy birthday. I kept mining cause I was upset at the accusatory way he asked about the warden, but I still sang along half-heartedly. Then I got teleported over to the center of the room where everyone had been turned into weird purple creatures, and Win was going on some speech about being respected and told us to sing again. This time no one sang and he got upset, though I can't remember what he did in response. Maybe killed someone cause once he flew off and everyone reverted back to normal avatars, everyone was in an uproar about how could he do this and stuff.

I for some reason went up to the upper floor of the place and mined a bit more netherack, where I found a block of netherite buried under the netherack. Which, Win did kill someone near me at some point cause I had a diamond pickaxe where before I had a wood one, so I picked that up from someone’s stuff dropping. So I grab this block of netherite, which seemed to be really important since it didn’t seem like anyone else had netherite stuff yet, and then Rat and Asai/Arathane come over and invite me to go chase down Win for what he did.

So we leave to chase Win, we get on this rocket or something and give chase through a section that was like the ultra wormholes from Pokémon USUM, and we get to this huge wall of portals that the rocket takes us through one and spits us out in a savannah biome where we find one random player who was not Win. Apparently we put in the wrong name when picking who this rocket was supposed to take us to, so we lost Win.

And that’s where I woke up. Dreams are weird man, but it was fun too

[mcytblraufest]

Question, I am thinking of making a mcyt event myself, and I would just like to know if there is anyway you seem to be able to reach out and gain an audience so well? How do you suggest one would reach out to the demographic they're looking for?

Honestly I think the holiday exchange gets a decent audience because of

a) Already having an audience. This is the third major event that we've run through this blog, and we have over six hundred followers to it, just slowly gained over almost two years. This mod team has a record of events that have run majority successfully, so when we start up an event, people already know that like— this is a mod team who's fairly organized and will get pinch hits for drops, for example.

b) Deliberately designing events to be as broad-interest as possible. Holiday exchanges run in every fandom in this time of year, and we are deliberately open to all of mcyt, despite the matching difficulties that presents, to try and make sure everybody can be included if they want to be. And this is a decently long creation period with a low minimum. We only saw ⅔ of the signup for aufest, which has a higher minimum for creation, and when some of the same mod team did 48 hour exchange (which was still pan-mcyt and a low minimum, just an insane turnaround for gifts), we had about a ⅓ of the signup for the holiday exchange. So any sort of demographic tightening— focusing on a single smp, a single ship, a larger minimum, no art, etc— you're gonna see much fewer people.

So some of what we do to get the word out is just not replicable to every event. HOWEVER, what we do do is:

Tag our promo posts with every tag that seems appropriate for our theme— so like we tag our initial posts with every mcyt fandom over 1000 works on the archive— and also mcyt and mcytblr, and also fandom exchange and holiday exchange. Make sure that if people have followed tags, the post will show up in them.

A new promo post once a week during the promo period, tagged appropriately. It's the same information as last time, just in a new format, and reminding people of the deadline. You don't want to be annoying, so make posts as fun and polite as possible, but it's just a like "hey, this is happening, you're welcome to join!" thing. Things drop out of the tag fast, so you want to come back like hey! Here is a thing!

Reblog the promo post to our own blog once a day, at different times of day so you hit different time zones. One day you reblog it at 11pm, the next day it's going out at 7am. If people have followed the blog (and this is particularly because we have followers of the blog from old events), the odds that they see the promo post goes up.

This one is a bit more wibbly wobbly but try and sure that your promo posts have something actionable on them. If you have a discord, it has a join the discord link on it. If you have a google form, it has the google form on it. If you have prompts the prompts are either listed or teased in such a way that people click through. You CAN have hype-building promo posts that the thing people can do is follow the blog, but in that case you fill it full of teasers or info so people are like "well I gotta see what happens next".

Images are good? Either an image (id described) or as snappy as you can make it ad copy. You have like a second and a half to catch someone's attention in the tag, and you want that initial impression to get as much information across as possible, and also lure people to read more. So if you can communicate either "this person has a graphic designer/artist on the team" or (honestly what I'm usually communicating) "this person knows how to use canva", it helps bump the overall impression of your event as slightly more professional/organized, which increases the likelihood that people click through.

Promo posts are basically advertising, so you want to be informative, clear, interesting, funny if possible, and hook your viewer in some way. With that said, we got a decent amount of notes off of the recursive exchange "this is how you sign up" post because people were just like "you gotta take a look at this shit" so sometimes it just works if you have something worth sharing.

I am NOT professional at advertising this is just basically me having been on tumblr for a decade, so feel free to look at other events to see how they do it. But I hope this helps! And message me your event when it's ready to go, I'd love to signal boost it!

How to sign up for an Ao3 Exchange - Option 1

So there's details about what you're expected to do for your sign up to the exchange, but what does this look like in practice? This is a brief tutorial about signing up for an AO3 exchange! For an alternate method, check out this post.

I start by clicking on the Sign Up button on the lefthand side of the Ao3 collection.

That brings you to the sign up page, which looks like this.

Let's fill it out! There's a minimum of three requests, so I'm going to start with my Dream SMP sign-up.

The part I want to start with is Fandom and the Relationships.

I selected Dream SMP from the autocomplete menu, and selected the relationships the same way. I'm okay with either the romantic or platonic form of beeduo, so I select both ships to increase matching options, I want romantic tntduo, and platonic bedrock bros. I ignore the "any relationship box" and the "letter url" for now. On to the prompt and DNW list!

I start off with a general list of my likes. These are totally optional for my gifter to include, but it can give them a sense of the sort of vibe I like! Then on to the prompts.

I broke out each relationship, and requested three prompts for each. Note that you only absolutely only have to request one prompt for each relationship— sometimes you only want to see your guys one way— but it's best practice to offer options for your gifter. I tried to offer prompts that could be done in a single scene or a few scenes, cause my gifter only has 48 hours to create. I then included my DNW (do not want), which has to be included on each request. This is just a list of things that would ruin the gift for me, and these can be petty fandom likes and dislikes, genuine triggers, or just stuff that I am picky about. If you're filling it out and you're like "literally everything is okay for me", you'd put in DNW: no restrictions, but be aware that in that case the only thing off the table is NSFW because of exchange rules— Major Character Death, major gore, and platonic omegaverse (to pick something from my DNW), are all possibilities with a "no restrictions" DNW.

Just scanning through what I have so far, I have to request a minimum of three fandoms, at least one prompt that would work as an art prompt, at least one prompt that would work as a fic prompt, and one gen relationship, so I'm well on my way! Let's go on to request two.

It is not required to do an Any Relationship request this time, but there are only two tags in the fandom (at the time of the mod typing this up) and I want both of them, so I can just save time by clicking the "any" button! It does mean that it can match me to either one equally though, so be careful about using the Any button for big fandoms.

Okay, one more fandom to go to meet the requirements!

For this fandom I just felt like requesting one tag, but that's fine too! You can go up to the max of twenty, or just request one! I still had my likes and my prompts and my DNW, so I'm ready to go!

That finishes my Requests, but what about my offers? I need three of those, too. Requests was what you'd like as a gift, and Offers is what you're willing to make. I'll start with Dream SMP, because that's still my primary fandom. All you need to do is select the fandom and the relationships.

I will write for a lot more different relationship than I'd want as a gift, so I have more relationships to select there!

I know that every tag for this fandom (murderbot my beloved) is something I'd be comfortable writing, so I can just save time and select "any relationship"

For Empires, I'm a nature wives fan, so I wanted to make sure to offer that relationship too.

And now all there is left to do is hit the Submit button!

Note that up until sign ups are closed, you can go in and take things out, change your prompts, add things, or anything else you like. It's not locked in until the mods hit the big red button and start Matching.

Once matched, my whole list of Requests will show up in an email to my gifter, and then they have my whooooole list, which they get to pick One thing from to make a gift. Meanwhile something from my Offers list has matched me with someone else, and I'll be poring over a different list of Requests, picking One thing to make in 48 hours

negative days nearer death

My @mcytblrholidayexchange gift for @bearandhoney-com! I really went for the "angst (or otherwise darker) content" part of your request here, and I hope it worked out well! Ngl, I actually spilled coffee on my laptop on the 11th, and was completely offline because of it for most of the exchange (i am SO sorry mods), so it was really up in the air if I'd be able to complete this, and I'm so happy that I did! 

Characters: Tubbo, Schlatt, Wilbur, Quackity, Dream

Tags: Character Study, Unreliable Narrator, Canon Compliant, I think, Angst, Dramatic Irony, of a sort, Manipulation, Manberg | Manburg on Dream Team SMP (Video Blogging RPF)

Ao3 Link

Tubbo sometimes finds himself wondering if Schlatt can read minds. 

He knows, logically, that he can't. Tubbo spends most of his time in Manburg after all, at the President's side— there's no way he'd be able to do that if Schlatt really was a mind reader. Still. Sometimes he wonders. Schlatt just seems to know things, seems to have an uncanny sense for detecting when Tubbo's not in Manburg, an uncanny sense for what buttons to press to set Big Q off and reel him back in, an uncanny sense for knowing exactly what to say when Fundy starts looking at the area where the walls used to be.

It's terrifying. More than that though, it's impressive. It's— and he stumbles over the thought even in the safety of his own brain, can't fathom putting it into words, but— quite honestly, it's cool. 

When Schlatt is at his best— and that's getting rarer and rarer these days— but when Schlatt is at his best and he's got a metaphorical good hand of cards, being around him is a rush like one Tubbo has only ever felt around Wilbur. It's much more volatile then Wilbur ever was at his most charismatic, sure, and there's a wave of nausea that often comes with it, but as long as he pushes down his uneasiness, that doesn't detract from the sheer coolness of it all. 

(Wilbur's not like that anymore, hasn't been since the election results. Being around him no longer comes with the rush of standing next to the man with the winning shot in his pocket— rather, standing by Wilbur is quite like standing next to an already ticking bomb.) 

He adored L'Manburg. He's... probably happier in Manburg than he should be. It's not a good place, fuck no, and the absence of Tommy and Wilbur haunts his every step, but... the landmarks are familiar, and he's seen the land a hundred times before, and sometimes he does a damn good job at convincing himself that that's all he needs. 

It's just a place, after all. Sure, his shoulders may instinctively tense up until he leaves the city limits, sure, he can't stand to look at Niki's bakery anymore, but it's just a place. Surely still liking a place isn't that bad. Surely he still likes his home. Surely— 

No, he's thinking himself into corners again. He keeps finding himself doing that when he works on the archive— needs to stop doing that, because every time he's lost in his thoughts and he fails to reply to one of Schlatt's messages, he just looks more and more guilty. 

(Despite his issues with Manburg, despite the way his stomach drops when he sees Schlatt with a bottle, despite the way an insidious, guilty relief crawls into his brain when it's Fundy or Big Q who's work Schaltt takes issue with— despite all that, sometimes Tubbo speaks with Wilbur, speaks with Tommy, speaks with the Blade, and finds himself thankful he wasn't ordered to move to Pogtopia.) 

Sometimes Tubbo wants to pull both Tommy and Wilbur out of that ravine. It's a stupid wish though. Where would he pull them to? They're all stuck at the moment. Manburg wouldn't be helpful, it would be the opposite. 

So everything's not... great, but it is manageable. It is workable. And that's the most he can ask for right now, isn't it? 

-----

Things get— tenser, between the President and his Vice. 

Quackity had been an impressive combination of moralistic and apathetic right after the election was won— confessing that the devil you didn't know sometimes was better than the devil you did when he got blackout drunk that night and Tubbo accidentally eavesdropped on a conversation with Fundy. Quackity was moralistic in that his reasons for running for President hasn't changed, his thoughts on how Wilbur was running the place hadn't changed, and apathetic in his almost-single minded focus on the joy over his victory while Wilbur and Tommy ran for their lives and Tubbo was tasked with hunting them down. 

Immediately after the election, Quackity was apathetic in a way that Tubbo would figure out was actually uncharacteristic of him as he got to know him better. 

It doesn't come out as care, not at first— just a casual disdain for doing something in a way that Big Q thinks is wrong. It elevates to genuine irritation pretty quickly though— when Big Q is all for Schlatt's plans, he's all in, but when he thinks they're dumb, he somehow manages to make them sound like the dumbest thing on the planet. 

(Schlatt doesn’t like that. But Schlatt doesn’t like a lot of things.)

Big Q's care, the actual passion and anger underneath it all, uncurl as months pass, as Schlatt gets more drunk and more stubborn and somehow more rude, as the President starts taking the smallest disagreements as personal attacks, as Tubbo, Fundy, and Quackity somehow find themselves trapped in a weird almost-competition for Schlatt's favor. The care uncurls, and Big Q starts yelling louder, stops portraying his anger as some sort of logical disdain for stupidity, starts putting more time and effort into keeping Schlatt somewhat stable and baiting him into a blind rage— at this point, the two feel like they are practically synonyms. At least when Schlatt’s angry, he’s predictable, and predictable is the closest any of them get to stability these days. 

It’s… nice, almost, how Big Q cares. It’s nice to see that there’s more to him than that glee at Tommy and Wilbur getting kicked out, that he’s truly sticking to his reasons for running for president.

But as the apathy seeps from Big Q, Tubbo finds himself taking more and more of it on. 

Balancing Schlatt and Wilbur is a sport he's gotten quite good at now— he's proud of it, almost, in the detached way anyone can feel pride these days. His concern was overwhelming at first, crushing him during any moment of downtime he had, but now it’s faded. Muted. Background noise, at most.

And that’s not to say that he doesn’t care about anything, because he does! Truly! He cares that Niki is furious, he cares that Schlatt seems to be doing worse. (It’s just that Niki's been furious for a long time now. It’s just that as he spends more time under Schlatt, he finds himself paying the price for caring more and more. It’s just that if he focused on all his emotions, he think he might explode, so instead he’s focusing on the few bright spots he has, and ignoring the rest.)

So maybe that’s why it's funny when Tommy gets stuck in between the pistons. Maybe that’s why it's funny that Wilbur rages after Tubbo gets him a backdoor the White House comms and hears the bullshit Tubbo's been hearing all day long. Wilbur couldn't manage both himself and Schlatt as well as Tubbo is managing them— Wilbur can't stand to hear even a day of it without publicly lashing out. 

Tubbo almost can laugh when he imagines Wilbur in his shoes. 

-----

One day, when Tubbo is leaving Pogtopia, he sees Dream. 

The apathy that has held him suddenly deserts him so quickly it nearly gives him whiplash. It's dread that clutches his heart first, then fear, then apprehension. Dream isn’t exactly an enemy at the moment, technically, probably, but… he’s not a friend either. He’s not someone who should know that Tubbo is playing both sides. 

He finds himself frozen in place as Dream tilts his head to the side, stares at him. The mask is worse when it's at a 90 degree angle, when it's trained solely on you and there's no one around, no one to save you. 

Then, in an instant, his head is back straight up, and his body is slouched, like they're two friends meeting at a bar, like he's not holding Tubbo's life in his hands. 

"Secretary," Dream says, and it's light, breezy. Tubbo swears he can hear his own heartbeat ricocheting in his brain. "You're a long way from Manberg." 

"I mean, it's not that long," Tubbo defends, and the words feel awkward in his mouth, awkward on his tongue. "There's, uh, there's like this tunnel system here? That we go on walks in sometimes?" 

It's a partial lie— Schlatt and Quackity take those walks, not Tubbo. Still, Dream nods along. 

"Sure," he says, crossing one arm over his chest, leaving the other one free to gesture. "Of course. Walks." 

"Yeah," Tubbo says, doubling down on it. "Walks.”

“And you take walks with your paperwork?” Dream asks, sounding amused. 

“I mean, it can get kind of stifling in the white house, you know,” Tubbo replies, “I like to uh, get some air. It makes the signatures go by faster.”

Dream laughs, not quite his signature wheeze, but something a little to the left of it. “Fair!” he says, “that’s– that’s really fair, Mr. Secretary. Let me tell you, I, I do not envy your paperwork.”

Tubbo tries for a smile. He comes up a little short. “What are you doing here, Dream?”

“Oh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that,” Dream says with a lighthearted wave of his hand. “Just getting the lay of the land, you know, seeing what’s up.”

Slowly, Tubbo nods. He starts to inch his way around Dream, and seamlessly, Dream shifts to keep Tubbo straight in front of him. “I heard there was a festival coming up,” Dream says suddenly, and Tubbo stiffens.

“Uh, yeah,” he says after a moment of silence. “Yeah, Schlatt wants to celebrate Manberg. President Schlatt, I mean.”

Dream nods along. “Good to keep up the citizens morale, I’d assume,” he says lightly. “Well, good luck. I hope it goes off with a bang.”

“Yeah,” Tubbo replies, and he’s opening his mouth to say something, anything when suddenly he blinks, and– Dream disappears. “Dream?”

No response. Tubbo looks around, scans the treetops. Nothing. He calls out again, gets no reply. The only evidence he was even here at all are the broken twigs in front of him, right where Dream was standing. 

It’s warm out. Tubbo finds himself shivering anyway.

-----

When Wilbur tells Tubbo that he wants to blow up the festival, Dream’s words finally make sense.

He’s not bitter that Dream knew about this beforehand. Really, he’s not. The thought of it might hurt a bit, but it’s easy enough to bury that hurt in another layer of apathy, to instead focus on the task at hand.

Wilbur wants to blow up the festival, wants to blow up Manberg, but he’s leaving the final choice to Tubbo. Huh. That’s– kind of unexpected. 

He’s flattered, almost. Impressed, maybe. Surprised, definitely.

It all comes together at the festival itself, when Wilbur says that he’s just a yes-man. 

He's not just a yes-man, Tommy yells in response, and Tubbo almost wants to laugh, almost wants to choke. 

Because Prime Tommy, the sentiment is appreciated, but— Wilbur's right, finally, and it makes something in Tubbo's heart settle to know that Wilbur recognizes this, that Wilbur isn't quite so far gone as Schlatt is. The old Wilbur was sharp as an axe, would've noticed and called Tubbo out for managing him the moment Tubbo started doing so months ago. If Wilbur is calling him out now, well... maybe he's not as far gone as Tubbo feared. 

A yes-man for Schlatt, for Wilbur. That's all Tubbo feels he has been since the election went haywire. He’s just been saying yes and then doing otherwise, again and again, trying to keep both sides of this mess from imploding. 

But now it's time to make a choice. Time to stop playing both sides. 

He looks at Wilbur. He looks at Schlatt. 

He thinks of Big Q yelling at Schlatt, telling him not to be a goddamn idiot. He thinks of Tommy yelling at Wilbur, saying the same exact thing. He thinks of a man who fiercely guards his power from even his closest aides, and a man who wanted to know the truth about Manburg despite the fact it might undermine him, a man who then all but literally handed over the button to all those stacks of tnt. Wilbur made this Tubbo's call. He can't remember a time Schlatt made something his call without doubling the pressure and throwing in some horrifying catch-22. 

He thinks of the power that lies in his hands right now. He's the right hand man to the President, and he's looking the President dead in the eye while he stands on a stage in front of an entire nation; while his left hand is holding both the mic and the fate of his country. 

Schlatt can't be a mind reader, because if he was, he'd know how monumental of a moment just passed. Schlatt can't be in his mind, because if he was, he'd know the treason that Tubbo is considering, know that Tubbo is highly considering turning his back on this country forever— literally and metaphorically— when he runs away as it goes up in flames.

So he betrays Manburg. Truly, firmly, in a way he'll never be able to come back from. After all, his cover isn't the only thing in a hundred block radius that's about to be blown to shreds when Wilbur gets to the bomb. 

“Let the festival begin!”

[smallishdruid]

I'm not gonna tag this but the TTRPG-person half of my brain is drying up and cracking into tiny flakes of dust watching people post about how "there actually IS lore" in sos when usually creators use "lore" to mean engineered storytelling (narratives that are prewritten and intentional - note that this is distinct from "scripting") and viewers are taking it to mean emergent storytelling (unplanned events that may take the shape of a story when relayed in post - an autobiography, a documentary). I think there's a genuine confusion of terminology here that's getting some fans heated, and since it's something I have thought about A LOT, I want to throw my opinion in the ring.

this is an argument that rehashes itself in TTRPG spaces: is the point of a TTRPG to "tell a story" or to "play a game"? the answer is that, largely contingent on system, it varies and is more of a spectrum than a dichotomy.

from the perspective of the system and not the players, is the point of a diceless, GM-less system broken into arcs with times of reflection to play a game? not really, it's closer to a guided storytelling activity.

in the same way, is the point of Chainmail to tell a story? not really, it's more about interacting with numbers, chance, and mechanics.

what is the goal of sos? the challenges, having fun playing a game with your friends. it's much closer to Kobolds Ate My Baby! than it is to Thirsty Sword Lesbians. in this sense, engineered story doesn't serve the goal of the smp. that doesn't mean it's a negative, it's just not the intention of the system.

story will always emerge because you can't stop events from taking place. the "story" of an smp is constant and unavoidable. "lore" is used often by creators to mean the things that are brought into the world as opposed to what happens in it as a result of play. however, they MAY use it to mean emergent storytelling that branches off of engineered storytelling. I think that's where the confusion often appears.

here's an example of what I think the distinction is for the creators on sos:

empires 2: "thunder god" joel is "rivals" with "pirate" joe. stealing and rivalry that result from this are engineered. builds like stratos sphere are engineered story devices. these things are "lore."

sos: pixlriffs is a creator playing on the sos server. pixlriffs dies while mining by a regular mechanic of minecraft, an emergent event. the resulting actions are emergent, not engineered, because of the mechanics of the sos mod.

you can disagree with those interpretations, I'm just trying to translate what I think the creators are thinking based on my experience in the TTRPG space.

here's where I wax philosophical about this whole thing. "is a game a story" is a question that the TTRPG community continually dredges up - about as often as "is minmaxing a moral failing" and "for whom does the GM toll". so that leaves us, the mcyt fandom, to ask the same thing for ourselves, which I'm sure we'll never stop doing. is a game a story? is a creator a character? is a mountain a molehill? idk. think about it I guess

[fl0ating-tree]

i’ve gotten a shocking amount of asks of people saying they saw a post of mine on twitter (...wild) and it convinced them to move over to tumblr for fandom content instead of twitter. which, good on you, tumblr is a much happier place to be! however there are a few unspoken rules/tumblr etiquette things that i’m gonna put here for all those anons who were asking so i don’t spam my blog with ask replies. 

- tumblr does not have a built in blacklisting function. download x-kit on chrome extensions. it is a life saver and will walk you through how to use it.

- liking things don’t really do anything. it’s better that you reblog content to push it to more people, because likes only serve to boost the amount of notes something has. you don’t have to do anything, however reblogging stuff helps keep content alive. 

- you don’t have to tag things. tumblr is very different form twitter in the fact that people will just straight up say no if you ask them to trigger tag something. but most people follow the tagging system of “[trigger] tw” if you do end up needing things censored. most people in all honesty use tags to make comments about the post without awkwardly clogging up the post. 

- people on here are also really good about tagging negative stuff for fandom content so you don’t have to see it. don’t tag your character/creator critical post with simply ‘[character/creator]’. tag it ‘[character/creator] critical’ and/or ‘[character/creator] negative’ so it doesn’t get into the main tags and people who don’t want to see it won’t have to.

- do not tag for engagement. people will be pissed and for good reason if your post mentioning tommyinnit for one sentence has the tag ‘tommyinnit’ along side 50 other tags. tag for people to filter your content or so you can find it easier later on. 

- specifically talking to the mcyt fandom here, and this one is really important: do not use the tags ‘minecraft’ or ‘mineblr’ on things that are not explicitly minecraft content that’s unrelated to content creators. use the specific fandom (i.e hermitcraft, dream smp, osmp (the origins smp tag), etc.) and/or ‘mcyt’. if your post is about some cool mod pack or screenshots of a beautiful build, go ahead and tag it mineblr or minecraft! if your post is about the different dream smp members’ minecraft skins, do not tag it mineblr or minecraft.

- blocking people is okay. i learned recently that apparently blocking people on twitter is like an offense of something. tumblr uses do not give a shit if you block them. block people for literally any reason from ‘dont like their profile picture’ to ‘theyre a murderer’. nobody gives a fuck if you block them.

and finally, the biggest thing with tumblr fandom culture is, in all honesty, to just keep to yourself. reblog what you want, like what you want, tag what you want and block who you want. but don’t go trying to ‘debate’ others opinions on characters or adding unnecessary comments to the end of every post. tumblr has become a really nice place to fandom/stan culture, but please please please if you’re coming from twitter make sure you aren’t being an ass and learn tumblr etiquette rather than treating it like twitter.

[antimony-medusa]

Alright, one last post about this for the road.

Do you like Fandom Exchanges? Do you like Hurt/Comfort? Do you like MCYT? Are you 18? Is this too many questions?

WELCOME TO THIS POST ABOUT THE HURT/COMFORT EXCHANGE. PULL UP A CHAIR.

This, as I just learned earlier this month, is a massive multi-fandom exchange on the theme of hurt/comfort. It's open to both artists and writers, and the expecations is a fic of at least 1000 words, or a piece of artwork that is not on lined paper and is at minimum clean linework that is at least 500x500 pixels. And you have from 16 March to 13 May to work on your gift so like, thousands of time. So easy. You can do that in a weekend, right? So achievable.

Some details: this is a massive multifandom exchange, so like, NSFW is allowed, and that means you have to be 18 to sign up. Also as it's a massive multifandom exchange, the mods are not policing what shows up in the tag set (there are literally 620 fandoms listed, can you imagine policing that, no,) so you almost definitely will see stuff in the tag set that makes you go "huh," but that's when you get to go "boy people sure like some stuff", and then you move on and go on to the stuff you're actually writing.

Tag Set?

Glad you asked. Okay so big Ao3 exchanges normally work off a Tag Set. They run a preliminary section where people can submit relationships and characters etc to a massive list, and then once it comes to actual sign-up time, you are only able to select stuff that is in the tag set for your offers and requests. So nomination period (where we're in right now), is important if you want to join an exchange, cause it lets you make sure that the relationships you actually want to offer, and then write/draw, are available to you.

[ID: An image of what the tag set looks like right now, open to the RPF section which contains SMPs— Empires, Origins, 3rd Life, Dream SMP, Hermitcraft, and SMPEarth.]

Tell me more about those tags?

Okay so, a general exchange works by allowing people to Offer and Request what fandoms and characters they want to write, and then the algorithm matches people's Offers to Requests, so that that person who Requested TMNT art is matched with someone who Offered that yes, they want to draw the turtles.

Within this specific exchange, they go a bit more granular. You both specify the relationship, and because this is a Hurt/Comfort exchange, you specify who exactly is getting hurt.

[ID: photo of the tags set, showing Philza & Technoblade & Tommyinnit & Wilbur Soot (hurt tommyinnit). ]

I know the dash loves hurting tommy, I've seen your exchange sign ups. I nominated that tag for you all. Never say I don't do things for you.

I didn't even think about empires, but someone already put flower husbands in the tag set, here's your chance to whump Scott.

[ID: photo of the Empires SMP tags, showing fWhip & Jimmy Solidarity (hurt Jimmy), Scott Smajor & Jimmy Solidarity (hurt Scott), Scott Smajor/Jimmy Solidarity (hurt Scott)]

And then because this is a FREEFORM exchange, you specify what freeform you want, which is your actual prompt for the fic/art you want. Some examples of the freeforms.

[ID: freeform tags reading: Comfort via food or cooking, Comforted by an animal, Doctor A has to talk B through operating on A, Hugging a person who isn't used to recieving hugs, Human experimentation, Hurt A is too tired/ill to move; calls B to take them home, Retainer lovingly cared for by liege, Reunion after character who was presumed dead returns.]

There are so many freeforms. (Note that the "this is an 18+ exchange" and "this is a dl:dr exchange" rules apply, some of the freeforms are about major archive warnings.)

Yes yes, I know exchanges, why are you telling me this.

Okay so, I'm doing the exchange, and I really want to match on MCYT, so I'm trying to lure as many people as possible to join me. Come on you want to join me so bad. There's 3rd Life AND Empires AND Dream SMP AND Hermitcraft AND SMPEarth in the tag set.

Yes but why are you telling me NOW?

Ah, because the tag nominations closes tomorrow, the 24th, so if you want to get a tag into the tag set— as I type this Scarian isn't into the tag set, so, y'know— your chance is to GO GO GO NOW HERE IS THE LIST TO THE TAG SET CHECK OUT WHAT IS THERE AND NOMINATE YOUR BLORBOS.

https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/14131

Whew. Long post. Enjoy your dash I hope you're having a good day.

CC!Ranboo, CC!Tubbo and CC!Tommy with a Sweet but Scary F!Reader

can you write tommy, ranboo, and tubbo (platonic ofc) with a 14 year old fem streamer reader that is short, adorable, and has a cute voice; but is a master at all sorts of martial arts; have won lots of championships; and does not take shit from no one; mess with her and you’ll get an ass beat. doesn’t care if you’re from a different state or country, she will hop on a plane and be at your doorstep to give you a well deserved round house kick;;; but after that she’ll be all fluffy and adorable again 🥺🥰

Ooooohhhh. This sounds adorable. I'm gonna do it as separate headcanons if that's alright with you? If you want me to write a full story on it just send another ask ^^

Cussing is censored in an attempt to get on Tumblr's good side.

Tommy

Honestly, he felt a constant need to protect you. Even if he didn't act like it.

In his eyes, you were still young and unaware of the dangers that comes with being a streamer. Let alone a Minecraft one.

He begged you to become a mod in your Twitch chat.

He joked that he was going to cause violence and chaos constantly, but in reality, he wanted to make sure there were no creeps going after you.

If there was, Tommy would either ban them or ask Father of Minecraft Philza to start crafting a belt for them.

When you mentioned that you won a lot of martial arts championships, he was taken off guard a bit, but also didn't seem to believe you.

"But you're so small... And you're... Small."

"That's poggers and all, but you don't seem like the kinda girl to... Be able to beat someone up."

"Your voice doesn't seem threatening in the least, (F/n)/(S/n)." (Streamer name)

Boy. He ate those words quick.

You were both streaming and had finished a lore bit for the SMP, and he heard you GO OFF on a creepy donation.

Because he was focused on his chat at the moment, he didn't have the time to carefully graze through your comments.

Tommy was left visibly reeling from the threats you gave for a solid few seconds before slowly leaning over and murmuring.

"Little (F/L) (first letter), You weren't muted... Also. Holy- I think you... Uh.. Un alived them! Twitch that's a joke. Please."

When you showed your trophies on stream (via face cam or picture), Tommy definitely began to believe you.

Lowkey bragged about it to his twitch chat later on.

"Yeah guys, she's actually really pog and strong. But she's short and young so I can easily beat her."

Feared for his life when people clipped that part of the stream and tagged you on Twitter with the video.

Tubbo

While Tubbo is protective, he's not as protective as Tommy is.

He does get mad at the creepy donos or comments that you would receive, but he believes you can handle it on your own.

Some days though, he will find himself getting worried enough to watch your stream and hyper focus on the chat. (Yes he's a mod as well.)

This man was in absolute awe when you showed off your trophies and ribbons to the chat.

"When you come and visit... Can you show me how to do those things- OH MY GOD CAN YOU DO A KICK FLIP?"

"Could you technically throw me over your head?"

"Have you ever broken anyone's bones?"

Mans is very curious and asked you a bunch of questions in rapid succession.

I mean he asked you everything.

"Ever karate kicked a man in the balls?"

"Tubbo!"

"WhAT?! It's a fair question!"

He was very confident in your ability to protect yourself in person, but he was still a bit weary of the twitch chat.

One day he went into the VC you were already in to ask if you wanted help with building something on the SMP.

He certainly did not expect to hear someone being verbally ripped apart then suddenly-

"Oh hello, Tubbo!"

"How did you go from threatening to rip a person's intestines out to saying hello in the sweetest voice ever?!"

"...Is there a Karate move where you rip someone's intestines out?"

Ranboo

If you thought Tommy was protective.

Oh boy. This man is easily twenty times worse. EASILY.

You both met when you were smaller streamers and since then, this man has been so protective over you.

People have even started nicknaming you Sisterboo because of his heavy protectiveness of you.

You have stated before that you did know martial arts, but that didn't stop him from trying to ward off the creeps.

"Did you just insult Sisterboo in MY presence?" While he was joking, the person who insulted you got heavily banned.

Chat clipped that and it went viral on twitter within an hour.

While you did think Ranboo was over reacting a tad bit, you were kinda glad.

Albeit you were still young, but you weren't stupid. You knew the internet was a dangerous place.

If you ever streamed, you could guarentee that Ranboo was always one of the first 20 people to show up and mod the chat.

Even if it was 4am his time! He purposely has it so the notification when you're live can go through his Do Not Disturb function on his phone.

One day, he was a little busy with finishing building something for Karl's Tales of the SMP, and missed the notification by about 20 minutes. He felt like the scum of the earth.

When he arrived, he already was typing an apology but he was quickly shut up by you telling off some creep.

"-I don't care what state, province or even country you live in, bud. I will hop onto a plane to come to your house and- Oh! Ranboo's here! Hello!"

This man WHEEZED for easily ten minutes

He literally got on call with you to congratulate you on telling the person off, although he kept cackling with laughter every ten seconds as he remembered what you said.

Did relax on his protectiveness a tiny bit but sometimes let a few of the (lesser mean) hate comments through just to hear you rip them a new one.

"Wait can you actually do that though? Is that a martial arts move?"

“Hello chat how are your days going? Good, bad? Finals!? Oh my gosh I hate finals dude I’m so sorry f to pay respects,” you paused to stretch and adjust your headset as you had just started your stream. “I’m kinda just bored today chat so what should we do? Mods can you all run a poll or something?” You glanced at your discord and saw messages from Sap.

“Hey angel!”

“Oh you’re streaming!”

“You look cute on stream” 

You rolled your eyes but chat caught you blushing and saw that Sapnap was viewing the stream, and immediately lost it. They’d been shipping the two of you for months, but little did they know you guys had been dating for three months, since you met up in person for the first time. It hadn’t felt like the right time to announce to the world and you’d wanted to establish your relationship privately before telling the fans, but that didn’t mean you’d had a couple slip ups leading the fans to theorize. 

This included you calling Sapnap various forms of babe, bubs, Nick, love etc. Same went for Sap who gets teased for endlessly rushing to your defense on the SMP and responding casually when you call him a pet name, almost like he does it all the time... yeah, chat was on to the two of you. 

“Shut up guys and tell me what we’re doing today! We could go grind netherite tools and chill? How does that sound?” the SMP always got a resounding yes, and just like that you were off, the SMP had won the poll anyways. 

You messaged Sap in discord, “wanna call for the stream?” and quickly he was on the call with you. 

“Hello Mr. Sapitus Napitus, how’s your day going on this fine Friday?” you laughed as you ran through the nether, having just collected enough wool and planks to make beds. “It’s going, I was bored as heck so I wound up here, what about you?” You knew the longer end to that story, his family was out and he thought editing would take longer but now he was stuck at home. “Same same, I’m chillin and got bored after scrolling on Tiktok for like two hours so now I’m here!” You moved on, blowing up the nether hunting for netherite scrap while talking with chat.

A familiar notification went off, “water check from, um ,GogySupremacy420,000, oh my god what a username. Alright everyone drink some water! This is good I haven’t drank water since like breakfast.” you heard Sap pipe up, “you’ve eaten since breakfast right?” you rolled your eyes, “nope I’ll eat after stream don’t worry Simpnap” tacking on the nickname earned a scoff from the simp himself. “Not a simp,” he answered, giving you a punch in the game making you hit him back. After a mini fight ending in you threatening to place a bed and effectively kill the both of you, you were back to mining. 

“Hey I’ve gotta go drive and grab something want me to stay on call though?” your head whipped to discord to look for another message, knowing Sap didn’t have anywhere to be tonight. But there was nothing. “Oh I don’t mind, chat and I enjoy your company!” you said with a grin. You’d made it to enchanting now, having found all the netherite you needed.

As you sat on the spider spawner you heard Sap get in the car, the familiar beep of him unlocking his car and the revving of the engine making you laugh, “you’re car is literally so old I’m surprised it starts,” you heard Sapnap scoff, “old?! don’t you dare speak to her like that, she’s beautiful,” you rolled your eyes, Callahan who must’ve been on your stream quickly piped up in the game chat “Y/n is jealousss!” now it was your turn to be offended, “you think I’d be jealous of a bucket of rusty bolts and oil? No chance,” you laughed, checking chat as they were spamming JealousChamp. “Whatever you say ba- Y/n,” Sapnap played it off with a cough and you quickly changed the subject to how much XP you would need for all your tools. 

“Hey I’ve gotta go on deafen real quick be back soon!” Sap’s voice flooded your mic, he must’ve brough the mic close to his mouth because his smooth and deep voice curled around the mic perfectly, sending shivers down your spine as his warm tone filled your headphones. “B-bye” you choked out, pretending to adjust your headset as you continued killing mobs. “So chat, got any questions to pass this alone time?” you watched the chat speed up, hoping your mods would filter out poor questions. “Favorite. color? Easy who knows? Yup! You guys know me too well. Ooh favorite fast food place? This is hard cuz I don’t wanna say something you all don’t know but I can tell you guys my McDonalds order because it’s immaculate. Do I know Sapnap’s order? This is a good test you guys, I’m pretty sure it’s like an ungodly amount of spicy McChickens and a Dr. Pepper but I swear he changes it like every day.” you laughed, reading out other people’s orders then moved to debating if the icecream machine is actually broken or if the workers are just lazy. They’re lazy, confirmed by workers in chat apparently. 

“I’m back but I have to go in like five minutes, did you miss me?” Sap’s voice flooded your headphones again. As you adjusted his volume you teased, “hmm nope!” to which he began pouting making you laugh at his “baby rage”. Just as you were finishing with enchants on your axe he had to go. “Don’t miss me too much I’ll talk to you later, chat behave yourself I know you all will miss me but just leave y/n open in a muted tab,” he teased making you roll your eyes, “whatever we’re gonna have a super secret conversation after you’re gone about how we only let you on the stream out of pity right chat?” you couldn’t stop smiling and laughing through the teasing. “Okay okay, I actually gotta go, see you soon,” you bid Sapnap farewell and returned to joking with chat, turning on media share to pass some time as you reacted to animatics, hilarious compilations, and the occasional y/n x sapnap video making chat light up as you laughed through the videos. 

As you watched the videos and killed cave spiders you got a text from Sapnap. 

You still streaming?

Yup! Where’d you end up going? you replied.

Open your door and find out

Your breath hitched. “One- one minute chat,” you pulled your headset off and heard a small rustling in your hallway. As soon as you tabbed out of the game you stood up, rushing off camera to fling your door open and,

There he was. His smile was infectious and you couldn’t help yourself from screaming and running into his open arms. As he held you, rocking back and forth, you heard him mumbled. “I missed you”  Into your ear while you clung to him. “I missed you more,” you whispered back, Finally, you released him enough to peck his lips, unable to wipe the grin from your face. “I got food cuz you said you didn’t eat and I figured if I had time I wanted to spend it with you!” your heart practically melted, taking a bag of food in one hand and holding Sapnap’s hand with your other you realized you forgot to mute or end stream.

“Um, so I’m still streaming... what do we do?” you glanced up nervously but Sapnap just started laughing, “oh my god I guess I can say hi so chat doesn’t lose it’s mind,” you swallowed nervously, glancing down at your phone you had been tagged in endless clips of you running off camera then screaming about 15 seconds later. “Yeah better give them an answer,” you giggled.

Rushing back to your setup you saw chat blowing up as you put your headset back on. “Heyyy guys! So yeah, um I guess I can just show you that, we have a special guest!” You gestured to Sapnap to come into frame, pulling up a chair as he sat down next to you. “Yeah I gave y/n a visit cuz I was bored. Hi chat, hello, hello! You guys are going really fast dang,” Sapnap gripped your hand under the table, you squeezed back, leaning into his embrace. “So um, I think Sap and I are gonna hangout, right?” you glanced at him and he nodded, he really hadn’t stopped smiling since he got to your place. “Yup! Maybe if there’s time we’ll go live again I’m not sure! Kinda spur of the moment yeah?” you finished your thought. Saying goodbye to chat you ended stream just a few minutes later.

“We’ve really gotta tell people soon, I wanna be able to hold your hand on camera not just off,” Sapnap said between bites of food. “Yeah, I think it’ll be okay right?” You had always been nervous about stans hating you or people trying to get in between your relationship. “As long as I’ve got you I’m more than fine, I’m- I don’t know I guess I’m pogchamp,” you shook your head, “god you are such a dork,” Sapnap scrunched his nose with a laugh, “I’m your dork though so I’m so special!” and you couldn’t agree more. <3

Hey what the fuck r people even doxxing Tech for? Did he do smthn?? I avoid twt like the plague (that it is) so I'm so ???? U dont have to explain if its gonn stress u dw I get it

Anon im going to gently hpld ur hand and take u on the dumbest trip youve ever been on .this tour fucking sucks. Here we go.

In short: techno made jokes including Hitler in them years ago, literally as long as 4-6 years i believe, and ppl dragged up these old tweets.

These ones r the Biggest contenders. Ignore the shit cropping. There was also 'was hitler a lesbian?' From 5 years ago but i don wanna find the screenshot.

Theres Some other things. Like this next tweet too

Also his 'slavery' jokes in regards to skyblock minions in his potato war videos, a bad taste joke bout how asian ppl r Powerful last march due to covid or somethin like that. Yeah.

Essentially: yes these things could be in Bad Tastes or kinda wack. Like. Hand shakey wack. But most of which was SPECIFICALLY dug up with the intents of finding bullshit on techno, like those tweets. And its escalated SO far over like. The past month?

Someone made an entire video as a 'letter' to techno which says he has to apologize cuz these 'jokes' normalize oppression and hate crimes, kribbit (one of The biggest techno fan accts) was literally encouraging their 20k followers to @ him, his mods, some ppl they Knew were in the technocord, to get him to 'apologize'. Wilbur's emails are full of this shit apparently, its just fucked up. Like absolute harassment at this point. Today it developed in people attempting to doxx him with his Full name trending (ive seen its fake but im not sure, although ill say its fake and promote it being fake), the tag #kickdave trending when he joined the smp w wilbur. Like. Using his name and doin shit he genuinely isnt comfortable with. Because they want 'an apology'.

So there u have it. This tour is over please dont punch the tour guide on the way out
