Fun Fact about yourself? I play the ukulele (badly)

How long have you been writing fanfiction? I only really started some time in 2022 when I wrote a Seb/OC longfic just for myself. The first fic I ever posted was a BG3 fic on Nov 14th 2023, so I've been posting for a bit over a year now! That being said I've always liked writing, and used to write all the time as a kid.

Favourite SDV character to write? Even though I always marry Seb, I think Elliott might be my favorite because I can get so artsy with him I love writing him poetry. Sam is probably a close second.

Favourite tropes/genre to write? I primarily write m/m and LOOOVE angst with a happy ending, enemies to lovers, best friends to lovers, mutual pining.

Your most popular SDV fanfic? Currently its Steamy, a SebAlex oneshot where Sebastian is having a terrible time quitting cigarettes, and goes to the gym to let off some steam. Alex is there and assumes Sebastian has come for a very different reason…

Your SDV underdog fic you wish more people would give a chance? Guardheart. It's a songfic for one of my favorite songs featuring Alex x Elliott in a medieval AU! It is beautiful and tragic and I reread it all the time, I'm very proud of it. But since it's a medieval AU and a rarepair, it doesn't get much attention.

Hear me out: Sebastian is in his mid-to-late 20s. People like to think he's younger because of his style and he lives in his mom's basement but that's normal into late 20s and he has a steady grownup job. His relationship with Demetrius doesn't really make sense if Demetrius came into his life when he was a baby

Lastly, any other fandoms you write for? Yes! I think at the moment I have 15 lol. I mostly write for SDV and Legend of Zelda, but some other big ones are BG3, Fields of Mistria, Disney, and Minecraft

We are so lucky to have such a talented and prolific writer amongst our ranks! If you check out her fics, please be sure to kudos and comment to show your support for small artists and writers.

If you write Stardew Valley fanfiction and would like to join our guild, please message this blog for an invite!

Minecraft "Game Drop 3" Speculation

The end of the Copper Golem announcement video has Agnes turn to the camera in the dark and a weird noise plays, before she asks "Did we place any torches on our way in here?" and running off.

To me, the noise that plays is reminiscent of the noises the Rascal makes in the original MC Live 2022 preview. The Rascal was initially pitched as being "not hostile - just a little mischievous". The suggested implementation in 2022 was a mob that would play hide-and-seek, but given that the Copper Golem also had changes/alternate features, I think stealing torches would be a logical evolution, and a much more potent motivator for players to try to find the Rascal!

My speculation is that this release is going to be based on adding mobs that lost the mob vote, and pairing them with thematically-appropriate revamps for underutilized elements of the game, with an eye towards adding motion and life!

And to truly tinhat this - if they *did* add the Rascal or a similar mob that steals torches, you know what else might become extra useful? The Glare! Here's how Mooblooms can still be added to Vanilla Minecr- wait where are you going-

Okay under the cut are some actual pure speculation/brainstorming of what they might overhaul in tandem with a few different mobs, because it's fun!

Rascal

I can see the Rascal allowing for moving light sources, if torches (or other light-emitting blocks) held in its hand still give off light! Lighting updates have always been resource-intensive, but optimizations have improved that massively, and I can see it being a viable addition.

Alternatively, its light-source-retrieving could serve as a way to reclaim torches from stripmines or caves you are done exploring, to allow for longer adventures underground! Perhaps you need to trade it redstone, food, or some other precious material to be given the torches back, akin to Piglin bartering!

Moobloom

Additional colors of the tiny carpet-like flowers. Please it's all I ask

Colored saddles? Potentially, parity to be able to add saddles to cows as well as horses.

Endless source of suspicious stew would just be funny

Bees flock to it, and if a Moobloom is within X blocks of beehives/bee nests, honey and beeswax can be peacefully harvested without a campfire (PLEASE. I want to allow them to meander around, but the bees yearn for the campfires. And drowning.)

Tuff Golem

I'm not sure they'd add a *second* golem on top of the Copper Golem, especially when its ability to pick up items somewhat overlaps both the allay & reworked copper golem, BUT if it were:

I can see it being reworked slightly to be a sort of mobile armor stand. Walking around on a fixed path (maybe preferentially walking on tuff & tuff-adjacent blocks, even when under carpet?)

A vanilla way to have gravestones - crafted with Tuff around a totem of undying, if an area is loaded the little guy will spring to life upon your death & gather up your items to keep safe in its arms until you return.

Would be hella fitting as part of a reworked Jungle Temple

sonny's : retired drs

i have been in the shifting community for like five years, a lot of scrapped scripts are piled in the recesses of my noggin.

i choose blood ! ✶ dream smp

i'm so tired of pretending like the dream smp was corny. i mean, the fandom was. and so were the streamers. and so was the story. and the characters. however, i choose to turn a blind eye because it did something through minecraft that nothing else was doing at the time, and nothing has replicated since. and it was great. excellent, beautiful. although i recognize that my impression filtered through layers of nostalgia and headcanons. and if you know me, you might expect, i basically rebuilt the entirety of the lore from scratch. rewrote history.

who is she . . . ? my name was soap. i was part mushroom, the daughter of an ancient forest entity, psychically tapped into the mycelium network between the tree roots. i was down devious madly in love with technoblade, who was a werepig cursed by the same witch who was sally's mother. i lived with him and phil, and tommy post-exile. i listened to a lot of grimes during this time period. so, think, that informing the vibe. i was a weird kid in middle school. i would yap to anyone who would listen about ts.

death before dishonour ! ✶ arthurian legend

i went through a phase where i was obsessed with the knights. not in a weird christian way. in a feminist way. this was just after i finished reading tcp, and i needed to be a girlknight so bad. i remembered i had free will so i clung onto the round table, my funky little englishmen, my mythological blorbos. i still have never seen bbc merlin, dont want to watch that thank you. because. i dont like real british people. i started trying to learn old english. i still really fw this so i might go back to it lowk.

who is she . . . ? phoebesthus goulding la fey. i was the descendent of faery warrior nobility. had a tail and golden eyes that shone like a cats in the dark. whimsically inhuman. i was an expert swordfighter, the only knight other than lancelot to best king arthur in a joust. smaller, quicker, and deadlier than any of the others. i was op.

one giant leap for mankind ! ✶ space travel

phase when i really wanted to be an astronaut. i had just read project hail mary and thought that the astrophage were dope. and i desperately wanted to escape our solar system. this was basically a waiting room. i scripted that i just drifted between outposts and journaled. incredibly chill. the ship i drove was an old green hunk of junk shaped like a scarab beetle called a "sunbug".

who is she . . . ? i was a green, half human/alien who could photosynthesize. a spaceship mechanic with a pet raccoon named beetle. i was an orphan, obviously, with a military past, duh. i think i just really want a tail in general, because i still lowkey script one in almost every dr.

do i dazzle you ? ✶ twilight saga

im literally bella swan. like she's just literally me. that's always been the case. im legitamately an avid twilight scholar, i know all of the lore. no one truly understands it like i do. i love it all. not even in an ironic way like genuinely. and i wanted that freak discoball so bad.

who is she . . . ? i replaced bella. i divorced my parents (foreshadowing...). and i love my baby renesmee. MY SHAYLAAA.

breathe out / so i can breathe you in ✶ firebug dr

original firebug dr was actually a fever dream. it was a better cr that i heavily fixated on throughout freshman year of high school. it took place in a major, quite historical city on the east coast, except i scripted near constant cosmic peril to befall us. dark, grungy, thrilling, inspired by the batman (because that movie literally altered the culture, 2022 was crazy). this is what my currently current superhero dr is based on. scripted my hallway crush wanted to talk to me and that i never fell over when a public bus moved.

who is she . . . ? sarafina graham. the firebug. pyrokinetic. pit fighter. annoying smartass. biochemistry prodigy. fourteen year old girl. oooh good times, bad bad nostalgia.

[alittledizzy]

this a big ask and feel free to ignore but you seem like the right person to come to.

can you give like a dnf overview for those of us who know almost nothing but are sooo curious (minecraft? face reveal? queer?)(i follow for dnp lol)

Okay so... I'm gonna try and do a bullet point overview and for the purpose of not getting in the weeds I am not going into the controversies. I'll be happy to discuss that part - OFF anon.

Dream and George met on a Minecraft server when Dream was 16, George was 18/19 and became best friends.

When Dream decided to start youtube when he was 18, he asked George (and Sapnap) to come along with him. They both said yes.

In 2019, George started talking about moving to America. At the time Dream lived with his girlfriend, though they broke up by 2020. (George and the girlfriend did not get along. But that's also a whole other can of worms because she fucked Dream up pretty badly with consistent cheating and verbal/physical abuse.)

Plans for George to move to the US got more concrete and at some point over 2021 became him moving into a house with Dream and Sapnap.

Dream also came out multiple times in this general period of time. He came out in a post on reddit, on twitter, and on a stream. He does not explicitly state that he's bisexual, but he does explicitly state he isn't straight.

Sapnap had already moved in with Dream for Dream's protection since he was being swatted pretty regularly. Dream had plans for a face reveal but people were stalking and harassing him both to 'reveal' him and also because at this point the Kiwi Farms targeted attack on him had gained a lot of steam.

Speaking of: George used face cam pretty regularly, but Dream did not face reveal. Based on things he's said it seems pretty clear he was trying to lose weight but at some point set the goal of face revealing once George was in America because he wanted George to see his face before anyone else.

George applied for his Visa and would have had about a 6-9 month wait, and then was denied. He had to apply a second time, and wait another extended period of time, which put it September 2022 when his visa finally was approved. This means they'd known each other for seven years and he'd been trying to move to the US to live with Dream for three years at that point.

George arrived in the US and Dream posted his first video with a face camera on. George posted a vlog meeting Dream irl for the first time, which is a great starting point for a watch.

In terms of the ship stuff: they've always had a heavily flirtatious relationship and Dream is open about how attractive he finds George. They've acknowledging having a conversation about if they'd date or not.

Once in a while Dream will reiterate that they're not dating, and we know he spent 2023 having a variety of hookups but no confirmed relationships. (Which lines up with his long history of women that flirt with him complaining he'll be great to them and make them feel good but always says he doesn't want a relationship.)

2023 was pretty wild for them in terms of nonstop travel, events, and making very little content besides Dream's music. So far in 2024 we've seen a complete 180 of that and Dream and George have noy traveled at all, staying at home in Orlando together. (Sapnap has traveled and spent time in LA, but alone.)

This is partially due to controversy, I'm sure, but also seems to be just in line with a rededicating of themselves to Minecraft and content impending. They're working on a project that hopefully will come out soon.

Right now in terms of what they've publicly told us, they're just in the category of Super Not Normal About Each Other. Here are a few of the Not Normal things that are just fun from a shippy pov:

Before George moved, they were open about living most of their life on a call together. This includes sleep calling and staying on the phone while taking showers.

One of Dream's early videos was gifting his friends money to thank them for supporting him. He gave Sapnap and another friend $500 each. He gave George $5000.

Dream took 'am I in love with my best friend' quizzes on stream twice with George on the call and neither treated it quite like a joke.

Dream sent George an oversized Dream hoodie which George has worn repeatedly and even admitted to spraying with cologne before he'd put it on. Dream took pictures of George in the hoodie (a private call, not one fans were in on) and then later shared them saying they were the cutest pictures of George ever.

The first time we really got to see them interact irl at length was a stream they did around Christmas. Here's a supercut that just really shows the vibe between them.

Initially in late 2022 Dream was wearing a very specific chain. At some point in January 2023, George started wearing that chain (the specific one Dream used to wear) and has not been spotted without it since.

At one of his concerts Dream described George as a friend he just met a year ago that he's so in love with.

The entire song Spotlight which everyone immediately associated with George, to George's embarrassment and pride.

And there's obviously way more... but I feel like this is a good starter kit for Them.

[ditto180]

Pride month is ending y'all

So I wanted to talk to you about my favorite GAE ships over the years (when I mean the years I mean the time I was obsessed, it doesn't mean I don't like them anymore)

1. Jesskas (2017-2019):

So, Minecraft Story Mode. Yeah, we know this game.

We know the popular ships, Jetra; Lukesee; and Jesskas (Lukesee is FJesse). I remember being obsessed with this game, and they also were the first gay ship I knew tbh.

I was more obsessed with Jetra tho (that scene of S2 😭😭😭); But looking at them always made me so happy, they are so adorable together and all the AU's I saw made them even more adorable; AAAAAAAH.

2. Wrightworth/Narumitsu (2018-2022):

OH MY GAWD.

This ship, was (still being) my everything.

The tension; the lore; THE FUCKING FAN SERVICE (Capcom knows they're popular).

They were my first "Enemies to Lovers" (also Friends to "Enemies" to Friends again to Lovers lmao); my canonical event to realize how much I love this stupid trope.

I will never forget this gays (and Larry, gtfo Larry you're just a third wheel /silly); they changed my life.

3. Jyder (2021 (I think)-2022):

When I was obsessed with GLEE, I remember getting to season 4 and suddenly; I was shipping Jake and Ryder.

I don't know how it happened, but making them in my mind was so "cute"

Except the part where my younger and immature self made Marley Rose a YANDERE PSYCHOPATH for the good of the plot 😭.

WTF was wrong with me back in those years?.

They also were when I got Wattpad 😭 (I wrote a super cringey story that is now only in my drafts. And yes, with the FUCKING YANDERE MARLEY)

4. Grahamscott (2021 (I think)-2022):

They weren't as long as the other three.

But holy fuck the fanarts they have are so cute. 💜.

Also they are another red and blue ship (just cuz Nathan had that red jacket and warren used a blue shirt in one of the LiS episodes lmao).

5. Faberry (2020-Present):

YES. It started before, but they lasted longer, they still, I love this queens.

Annoyingsingingbitch x Pinkhairedprick my mothers.

THE LESBIAN SLAP>>>>> /silly.

6. OC ships era (A.k.a. when I shipped two Degrassi characters with boys cuz yea, they gave me bisexual) [2022-Present with the last one tbh]:

6.1. Zig and First OC (Lynn):

So. Aside all the vibe Zig Novak gets in S13, actually the version of him I used to ship him with Lynn was the S11-12 one. Idk why I chose him now, but I still consider them cute.

6.2. Sean and Second OC (Connor):

I won't explain to you the ANGST this ship lore has in one of my stories; but I tried to make a darker lore of how Sean got the "gangsta" style in S3 😭 (If I can explain it in some way).

But what I can say, is that they were besties back where Sean lived before moving to Hel- I mean; Degrassi; then Connor moved there; they reconnected and to what comes next.

Oh and shout out to Marco our gay icon ofc.

7. Cartex (2024-Present):

And last but not least...

Alexander Theodore Browning x Carter James Horton (yes, I say that his second name is James... It's just, It seems accurate idk)

They are the reason why I opened my Tumblr and is active.

They are the reason I decided posting a fanfic.

They are so cute and also they are the reason why I watched Dawson's creek lmao (Shout out to Jack).

They are maybe the luckiest ship to get my hands /silly.

I love them so much and I'm so sure they are fighting the lawyers to see who is dad's favorite /silly.

Honorable Mentions:

Canon couples that I'm happy they exist:

- Narlie (Alice Oseman ty sm)

- Lumity (Dana ty sm)

- Brittana (my babies 😔✌️)

- Etc.

(crackship for laughs) Dawcy/Pason:

Yep. Dawson Leery and Pacey Witter. As boyfriends.

Just for laughs I swear.

Anyway thanks for scrolling down have a nice day bye and don't forget to smile 😁.

The Saga of Hermitcraft on r/Place (1 April 2022 - 4 April 2022)

On the 1st of April 2022, Reddit unveiled a white blank canvas where every user had the ability to place one colored pixel in every 5 minutes. At its height, about 4 million people participated in one of the biggest internet collaborations ever made. The ripple effects reverberated into news reports as far away as Turkey, and the final canvas represents a snapshot of the multiple communities, events, memes, and what was popular around the world at that time.

This is a documentation of the Hermitcraft mural on r/place 2022.

aka.

Remember what I said about my latest ficbind being a distraction? This is what I wanted to be distracted from.

After Reddit's API fiasco of this year and the subsequent controversial event that was r/place 2023, I decided to save as much documentation about the 2022 event as I could. Luckily, I remember how there are already a series of posts by @riacte who documented the progress of the Hermitcraft mural throughout the whole event, from beginning to end. Her blogposts form the bulk of this book (like, 95%!) and I cannot thank her enough for preserving the happenings of the block men mural.

With that said, I quickly realized that someone who's not a Hermitcraft fan - or me if I'm older - might not get the gist of who's who on the mural. The solution? Make several pages dedicated to just listing who's who on the murals! Because of the sheer number of heads, the mural was divided into several pieces for easier labeling. As a bonus, I also threw in another mural nearby which was connected enough to the Hermitcraft community.

For consistency's sake and preserving focus, I decided to not label the peeps from Dream SMP or the MCC secondary mural. Wrangling Microsoft Word to create an infographic was hard enough, let alone 3! If I inadvertently left out a few bits of extra context from this decision, mea culpa.

When it came to typesetting the entire text block, I decided to make some consistent rules. Titles denoting each day or stage of the mural are on their own pages. New sections are titled using the Bahnschrift font and colored blue, while the first paragraph has their beginning lines look Minecraft-coded and topped with a drop cap (aka. those super-large alphabets).

The names of Hermitcraft and Minecraft players in general are bolded when they first appear in the text. Afterwards, they are bolded if they are contextually important to what's being said.

Extra context would be placed in the footnotes section at the bottom of the page. This is also where I dump some background information that would be invaluable for any readers who aren't Minecraft fans, which is why the SpaceX page looked like... uh, that.

My image policy is to go with the flow; I used as many images from riacte's posts as possible, but I also added-in some of my own if more context is needed. Placing them to look smooth with the text was harder - some are small enough to not cause any problems, others are large enough to fill entire pages without any problems, but a few like the Dream SMP mural (hey there! I managed to put you in!) are too wonky to fit perfectly without leaving no empty spaces.

So in that mural's case, I placed them to the side and let the contextual text flow around it. This principle was also used for the Dota2 / Love Live images and in a few other places throughout the book. The biggest case of this are the few images that are just too wide.

Like this one.

Making double-page spreads is not the easiest thing to do in Microsoft Word, and there are a few r/place images that are too wide to fit perfectly in a single page. Confining them to one page would also mean losing all their details, so making them a double-page spread was necessary.

Didn't make it easy though, especially when there are paragraphs of text and other images that needed to be shuffled around. Mess up the double-page images, and they won't meet in the middle. Mess up the text and other pics? There goes the layout and overall flow!

In the end, making this book took a lot longer than I expected, but I am still grateful to have made this as I have now read through many posts from Tumblr, Reddit, and even Youtube - people expressing joy that they have collectively made something together. I can only hope I have made some justice to them by compiling their work and (even if a small sliver) preserving their testaments.

May this r/place be remembered.

Ariiiii help 🥺 I feel like you’re knowledgeable about computers, at least a lil’ bit? And you’re a bit of a gamer? (More than me at least lol)

I have this old-as-time-itself-MacBook Air that runs only on nothing but hopes and dreams, I’ve had it since 2018 when I got it (new) in high school and then I bought it for like. Barely $100 when I graduated. Anywho. I haven’t been able to update the software since like 2022 because the update itself takes too much space lol so I desperately need a new one. It can barely handle Spotify, EA and The Sims 4

My pipe dream is to have a (preferably) laptop (but if it’s impossible, a desktop will do) that can handle Spotify, TS4, Bg3, Sdv, Rdr2, Minecraft and like. Some type of music writing program. That DOESN’T cost like a million bucks because I am but a young adult on a budget with enough student loans to scare off my will to live. Which maybe isn’t a lot but it seems like too much for my life 😭

Do you have any tips? All my friends are console gamers and know like fuck all about computers and I feel like if I go to a store and ask they’re gonna try to make me buy something more expensive than I really need. My budget is like $600 but I’d be willing to go over a little bit if there’s a significant difference between a few options. And I’d prefer anything but Apple lol

I’m reallllllly not a tech whiz so this is going out on a whim. You don’t have to answer this but if you do I’ll be really grateful ❤️ Hope you’ll have a wonderful day/evening/night, wherever you are 🥰🕺

i'll keep it a buck with you now and say finding a laptop with the specs you are hoping for (i.e. the bare minimum specs for bg3 / rdr2) is probably going to cost you minimum 700 dollars. also trust i would never in my life recommend an apple laptop to anyone haopsdkjsdk

ts4 and all the other games listed + programs listed are doable but bg3 is an enormous game with extremely high detail graphics and absolute bitch to run. you have a better chance with normal desktop pc imo if you're really adamant on that game specifically. assuming you want the bare minimum specs

i have this post here about gaming specs that you may find helpful but that is for more modern games. if you want a laptop with good specs within in your budget u have to watch out for sales

i think this laptop is probably your best option for now. it's on sale so if you can get it Right Now - it will meet all your requirements and be within budget

pros - meets all of your needs, within price range, good storage and good graphics

cons - low ram which can effect game performance but is absolutely functional for daily use and less intensive games. will be able to run those modern games as well but you may experience lag / performance issues.

i think another good one is this laptop by asus. you want to prioritize half-decent ram for shelf-life, you may have to give up on graphics. it will handle basic gaming perfectly fine (sdv, ts4, minecraft) but you'll have issues w more recent titles. but it doesn't fall like... crazy out of budget at around 650. best buy often has sales so if you wait i think you can get it for less.

pros - more ram, runs smoother, decent graphics, plenty of storage

cons - less involved graphics which will make it hard to play newer titles.

i think your best option that is more expensive is this msi laptop. it meets all of your requirements and has the recommended specs for pretty much any more recent titles. the main different between this and the first laptop i recommend is that the ram is a lot higher which will absolutely impact performance. 8gb is standard for daily use and light gaming but 16gb is much higher and is a significant increase. you'll have a much higher quality of life if that makes sense

pros - more ram, good storage, good graphics, runs smoothly

cons - most costly of the three.

i can make a separate post around desktop but assuming you are hoping to use this in your daily life - a laptop is more practical.

for me personally, i prioritize ram because that is the most impactful to your computers performance and for me what is most important. it impacts your ability to do more than one thing at a time which is crucial to me both as a writer and a programmer

for any laptop you will buy there are 3 basic things to lookout for: processor, ram, storage.

for processors i avoid intel because they've had a huge issue with basically imploding in the last few years. i recommend amd5 at minimum. everything above that is also good (amd7 or amd9). if you're set on intel, i7 or i9 processors are best.

for ram - i really, really recommend at least 12gb. 8gb is the absolute minimum for a half-functional device. absolutely no less than 8 otherwise your computer will be so slow and hard to use. but i prioritize ram bc my computer running slow is literally smth that makes me feel like a super villain lmao. my current laptop has 32gbs bc its so serious to me

for storage - as high as possible. if you're prioritizing daily use over gaming, you can get away with less storage but if you want to play games locally - 512 is best for quality of life

graphics can get very tricky. the main difference between a gaming laptop and a daily use laptop are the graphics. modern games require a lot more indepth graphics.

if you're set on playing games - go with the first or third option. if you're more concerned about longevity and performance, the second or third is best.

overall, i do think the msi is well worth your money and will be a good investment. that being said, all of the other options i listed will also meet your needs. figure out what you prioritize and decide from there.

if you have any other questions, let me know!

What's Mianite?

Mianite was a Minecraft roleplay series started in 2014 by Tom Syndicate and Tucker II_JERIICHO_II! It had two seasons, the second of which started late in 2015 and ended in 2016, and one spinoff series called Mianitian Isles that started in pandemic-era 2020 and ended sometime in 2022 IIRC. It also featured Jordan CaptainSparklez (yep, that CaptainSparklez) and Sonja OMGItsFirefoxx.

The premise of Mianite is that there are three gods: Mianite, god of order, after whom the series is named after, Dianite, god of chaos, and Ianite, goddess of balance. Each god has a champion (or champions), a player who carries out their will on Earth. A main point of tension present in all three series was that the champions were often caught between the bonds they had with each other and their loyalty to their gods, which made for some really damn good moments in all three series.

If that sounds interesting to you, good news, you can totally jump into this blind! I recommend starting with Jordan CaptainSparklez' POV first, since he's a central figure in s1 and involved in basically all the main plot points in s2. He also edited down his livestreams (the entire series was streamed live on Twitch) into shorter episodes with only the relevant clips sticking around. You can find his s1 playlist here, his s2 playlist here, and his Isles playlist here.

Fair warning: Seasons 1 and 2 but especially 1 are very much products of the time they were made in, and while they're pretty chill, some of the jokes and references made come off as dated and off-color today. The R slur is also dropped a total of like, four times over the span of the two seasons but I thought I'd point it out anyways jic. Season 2 also handles themes of abuse, torture, and is just in general a Little Bit (very) Strange.

is it worth watching it? i don't know. i don't know you. however if you can handle the format and the longevity of it (jordan's s1 and s2 povs combined are 200 episodes long), it tells a pretty damn compelling story about how uhhh [checks notes] divinity is found in the most human of places, how morality is farther from black and white than anything you could possibly imagine, and how and why it's important to pay attention to the way people present information and what motives they may have behind not only how they share it but behind why they might share it at all. it's also a testament to how humans will always find ways to stay silly no matter how serious things get around them. and last but certainly not least mianite is the forerunner of queercoded as FUCK characters interactions etc its just So Very, in more ways than one, All The Time.

but also ive had a raging hyperfixation on it for the past several months so who knows if any of that is accurate lol

good luck and have fun, anon :]

Fic Friday! time to dig up an old fic from the depths of my google docs.

It's a silly idea, and not another superhero au! I write other stuff occasionally.

I don't remember where I get the idea from, at least not if it were a fic. It stems from that one post about dragons having hoards of anything, not just gold. With a fitting titles of "Hoards are not just gold" or something along those lines

So, what would a dragon Philza Minecraft have as a hoard? Kids, the answer is kids.

It was a Ranboo centric foster au where he's taken to Philza Minecraft, after being deemed a problem child by the foster system because of his memory issues.

The whole smp was basically gonna be there as Phil's current or former foster kids. And the town they lived in would basically be exclusively lived in by Phil's former fosters and they'd all be his hoard.

And I kinda think that's a fun concept for dragons in general, having a hoard made up of humans. Because no one expects the villiage at the base of the mountain a dragon lives in to be said dragon's hoard.

Maybe he's got gold to, but he's more a really secure bank then anything. He's still got those dragon instincts, and protecting the gold of his hoard and killing anyone who tries to steal it gives him something to do. (Though good luck to any knights trying to get up to his mountain through the village.)

It's a fun concept, and I'd I'd come up with it and then written it in like 2021 or 2022, I don't doubt it would've done numbers on ao3.

[october] one year of togetherness.

@/dreamsecretclub: dteam Christmas won’t be happening unfortunately, thought I’d say before that way Christmas can still be great :) totally out of our control unfortunately, can’t wait for the future still :)) 2022 incoming ♥️♥️

Dream: I'm gonna expose George's feelings on his behalf ... He was just saying, he was like, 'I think I'm depressed', and we were like 'What do you mean?' and he was like, 'I don't know. I don't do anything, and no one's here, and I just wanna come to the US'. And Sapnap was like, 'Well, what if I came to the UK?' and George was like, 'You should'. And then Sapnap went and filed for his passport the next day.

Dream: Because George hasn't got his visa yet, Sapnap's going to the UK. Sapnap: Fine. I'll go. [Dream Team laughs] Dream: So, unfortunately, Sapnap's getting the first George hug. [George Laughs] Sapnap: I'm getting the first George hug.

Dream: I feel like if George isn't here by, like—I wanna be like, 'Well, next month'. I feel like if George isn't here by September, my like, mental health will take a dive. Massively. And that sounds like, fucked, but it's one-hundred percent true.

Dream: You will see the fact that George, um—George's reaction to seeing me ... We said when he got his visa he could FaceTime me, so, stuck to the plan. Not saying anymore because you have to wait for the meetup video.

Dream: You sure you don't want to wait to see me in person? George: I'm ready. I've got my camera set up—I'm all ready to go! Dream: I guess I just, I wasn't expecting this. I'm gonna go look in a mirror and make sure I don't look like trash. I'll be right back! George: [laughs] Okay ... Oh my god.

George: After years of waiting, I was finally going to America.

Sapnap: Dream? Dream: Yeah? Sapnap: Clay? Dream: Oh god. Sapnap: I brought him. He's here. You excited? Dream: I am ... very nervous. Sapnap: Nervous but excited. Dream: I'm nervous, but I'm excited! I'm doing excited hops. Sapnap: It's a big day—an exciting day! ... Take your time. This is big stuff. He's going to be living here forever.

@/GeorgeNotFound: Just met Dream!! :)

“This doesn’t even feel real,” George says in the video — a sentiment he reiterates to Variety when asked about how he felt in the moment. “The sun was directly behind him, and it was blinding me, and he had an aura about him.” 

George: It's so bright, I can't even see you. You're like a—you're like a god with the sun behind you!

George: I guess I gotta go get my bags in, and time to live in the Dream House. Dream: The Dream Team House!

@/GeorgeNotFound: why didnt you post the one where you actually kissed me?

dream @/dreamwastaken: just felt better leaving things up for larger interpretation

George: Look it's Dream, and Sapnap. It's all of us!

Dream: [softly to George] Rise and shine. We're home.

streamer dr *script reveal*

hi i'm back again to yap about my streamer dr!! i'm going to walk you guys through as much as i'm comfy sharing about this dr! so i'm just myself in this dr, i look the exact same except i have clear skin and all that stuff. and my name is the same as it is in my cr.

so instead of shifting to present day, i'm shifting to 2022 at the beginning of october because thats like my favorite month.

in my dr i'm gonna be fluent in english, spanish, and cajun/louisiana french. english and french being native languages and i taught myself spanish later on. my french accent will be a mix of a cajun and a regular french accent because most of the french i was exposed to was from youtube and tv. my spanish accent is a mix of argentina and mexican accents.

[in my cr i dont speak french. i am cajun but no one in my family speaks french as cajun french is a dying language, which is why in most of my drs i script i can speak it.]

i haven't really decide where i'm gonna live in my dr. i was originally gonna script brighton because that's where all my friends in that dr live (like tommy and jack) but i might just live in another country (likely spain or belgium) that i really wanna live and script a friend as a roommate. but i scripted that i only recently moved to wherever i live from new orleans.

{edit: i decide to live in belgium bc my dr roommate speaks french and not spanish}

and also i recently decided to double my streamer dr as a band/fame dr because that's fun so i'm the lead vocalist and keyboardist of an indie band. the members of the band are just people from my cr. (i did in fact script that i'm a good singer and i know how to write music and all that stuff)

im friends with tommy, jack manifiold, nihachu, quackity, slimecicle, schlatt, tubbo, billzo, aimsey, etc.

cool scenarios that i imagine (not specifically scripted but for visualization):

making the british/non-americans try american snacks

making my friends try cajun food on stream (ft. me "over seasoning" everything bc you can never have too much seasoning)

quackity telling people to say something *awful* in spanish and me understanding and bursting into laughter (they don't know i know spanish)

during a minecraft talent show i sing one of my bands songs but change all the lyrics to be hilarious (like a parody of my own song)

being forced to speak only french or spanish on stream with people that dont speak french or spanish

if you guys have any questions please ask i'd love to talk more about my drs!
