alright, so, one more thing i've been thinking about during all of this, and apologies, because i normally try to keep my blog fairly discourse-free in the grand scheme of things. but.
there are hermitcraft fans who act irritatingly morally superior about this fandom. i think it's out of some impulse to try to distance yourselves from any other mcyt fandom. it needs to stop.
the worst behavior during the polls was from the hermitcraft fans.
period.
there were so many instances of hermitcraft fans accusing the other side of cheating, of hermitcraft fans making attacks on the character of their guy's opponents, i have heard what i HOPE are isolated reports of racism in the grian/quackity fight (it was genuinely impossible to keep up with the blog's notes that round without both going into a death spiral thanks to the horrible behavior of scar fans during techno/scar and also without losing track instantly of where we were due to the frankly insurmountable volume of notes, so i did not see it, but unfortunately i fully believe it). i have seen people receiving awful asks - saw people being accused of 'betraying' the hermitcraft side due to voting for quackity or techno, for example.
and for a fandom that likes to act like it's better than the other guys, well. the dsmp fans were generally very well behaved in comparison. (shoutout, for example, to quackblr - i saw maybe one or two possible instances of bad behavior, but for as intense as you all were, you all were normally mostly just retaliatory towards whatever energy was thrown at you.) it wasn't supposed "outsiders coming in" that was doing this bad behavior, either.
folks, you can't blame the dsmp when the problem is inside the house. you can't blame twitter users when you're doing it here. you can't blame the reddit when you're the ones throwing the first death threats.
get off your high horses. we're all mcyt fans. we're all having the same fun. get off your high horses. you can hardly claim we're entirely all "unproblematic" when keralis accepted a sponsorship from the wizard game and xisuma periodically gets another round of getting shouted down over something he said on xisumasays. get off your high horses. you can't claim we're the accepting, good behavior fandom, unlike those other guys, when you're the ones causing the problems.
now, as always, i'm sure this is a law of large numbers thing to some extent. as technoblade, wise as he is, said: sometimes when you get a large enough group, you're going to have a few serial killers. but for the amount that hermitblr likes to act better than Those Other Minecraft Fandoms, and those Other Fandom Websites, it wasn't those guys that made me cry.
to be clear, the majority of you have been well-behaved. but there's a persistent tendency in this fandom to act strangely morally superior to other fandoms. and, y'all? you aren't.
you just aren't.
and the sooner you acknowledge that, the less likely this is to happen again, because once you admit that yeah, we can be toxic too? that's when you can start actually looking at yourself and trying not to be.
anyway, sorry again to make this post. i don't want to be a downer, hence why, outside of the official mod statements of "chill the fuck out", i didn't make this until now. (it also helps that i wanted to wait until i was no longer furious, upset, and death spiraling.) i have seen a lot of the best of this fandom over the past two weeks! i've just also, unfortunately, seen some of the worst, and feel the need to make this statement because it's just... been eating at me.
i don't want this to continue to be a trend. i think we can do better. do so.

ok so about my lack of update. I got sidetracked writing about the nightmare horse (!!!!spoiler!!!!) and the other flesh gifts Feyd is going to give Laera. Harkonnen giftgiving traditions are atrocious, I've decided. Also I've re-written chap 21 like three times and I'm pretty sure some of my readers will unionize to beat my ass if I don't post eventually. ~tee hee~
Here, have some random headcanons related to BMGWMBGG because I'm deranged:
the Harkonnen tradition of offering "flesh gifts" to the bride is essentially the manifestation of that one post that's like "my love language is acts of service and all I know how to do is kill"
given that Geidi Prime has to pump groundwater since the planet has no oceans and little rainfall, there are likely thermal pools/natural springs somewhere in the Fortress. They function like bath houses, essentially. Feyd-Rautha visits them frequently.
the Harkonnen tradition of draping their brides in betrothal chains came from the practice of having to physically restrain their wives because uhhhhh they did not often consent to marriage. Now the chains are just brutally pretty jewelry, but in ye olden days Harkonnens would kidnap their brides caveman style
the ceremonial lyggal warpaint is mixed with human blood. often the wearer's
Harkonnen men totally get married half-naked covered in warpaint. How else is the bride supposed to take her blood rite if he's all covered up? :(
Geidi Prime has a renowned rave scene. Party drugs? Evil techno? That's basically Tuesday for the upper classes
Despite keeping appearance of the contrary, Feyd-Rautha is not a hedonist with all pleasures. He holds himself to the standard of a warrior and forces purity of mind and body so that he can feel superior to others. Baby boi deffo has an eating disorder and like six different hangups about eating in front of others. Violence is his chief vice but sex is a close second, so he's not a monk all the time...
Feyd-Rautha thinks it's just so charming that women have a menstrual cycle. oh his partner lifts her skirt? and she's already bleeding? it's like Christmas came twice.
Feyd-Rautha has met Princess Irulan on two occasions prior to Arrakis. He was buck-ass naked during their first meeting (I will not explain) and covered in blood for their second. The Baron offered Feyd as a marriage prospect to the Emperor's daughter both times. "isn't my nephew strong? isn't he capable? wouldn't you like to give him children?" *gestures to the horrible little man covered in blood*
Feyd-Rautha is freaked out by horses. It's the spindly legs...
Feyd-Rautha's favorite food is nutrient paste. I am not joking

Seok Matthew as a Dom
A/n: I love this man with my whole being. It's only fair he's the first zb1 thing I post. P.S I don't wanna hear s h i t about the gif. There's only so much to work with right now 😭
P.P.S I did not proofread because I have copious amounts of caffiene in my system and cannot read properly. If there's typos, let me know and I'll fix them when I'm normal again <3
-
Soft dom.
Softest of doms.
Also,
CAREGIVER VIBES
SO MANY CAREGIVER VIBES
He's up first most of the time so he makes breakfast to make sure you eat.
Smoothie person? He's got it made.
Cereal person? Prepped with your favorite spoon.
Full fledged meal? He's working on it but the eggs are done.
If he isn't up before you, he's blowing up your phone all day.
"Did you eat?"
"You forgot your water thingy. I'll bring it by later :)"
"Make sure you eat enough for lunch! Snacks and energy drinks don't count >.<"
Even if you pinky promise to eat a proper lunch, he doesn't trust you.
"Oh yeah? Show me what you're eating."
Turns into a whole video call during your lunch that you barely even get to eat anyways.
He's clingy what can I say
Okay back to soft dom matthew.
Doesn't like raising his voice because it definitely hurts him more than it hurts you.
Because you're his lil baby.
How can he yell at his lil baby and be okay after that?
Raising his voice is the last resort or reserved for major fuck ups.
Usually says your name in that tone.
You know.
The soft dom tone.
Timbers? Shivered.
It usually does the trick because you don't really want to make him mad.
Unless you want to.
But we'll get to that. Put a pin in it.
He's up first most of the time so he makes breakfast to make sure you eat.
Smoothie person? He's got it made.
Cereal person? Prepped with your favorite spoon.
Full fledged meal? He's working on it but the eggs are done.

Even if you pinky promise to eat a proper lunch, he doesn't trust you.
"Oh yeah? Show me what you're eating."
Turns into a whole video call during your lunch that you barely even get to eat anyways.
He's a giver. For sure.
I'd bet my life on it.
L o v e s foreplay.
He drags that shit out.
Kisses. Kisses everywhere.
Loves hickies.
Will trail them down your body.
And leave the biggest ones where only he can see :))
Bc he thinks they make you look pretty :))))
All in all just really wants to make your private time last. It's not like he's got other things to do.
Gives you head before sex.
Always.
Doesn't like restraints because he loves feeling you tug on his hair.
Gives him motivation, y'know?
He knows what you want.
And how you want it.
Say 'please' and he'll give it to you until you're begging him to stop
Because he totally does it for him more than for you.
Like, say he's had a rough practice.
Maybe a petty argument.
He'll text you some shit like.
"Can you get all pretty for me?"
"Remember that set we bought, can you put it on for me?"
You know what's coming and it just gets you worked up.
You know by now to just wait on the bed.
He wastes no time burying himself between your legs.
He's not moving anytime soon.
And with the hold he'd have on your legs, neither are you.
You're stuck there until he's done.
And that's not until you're crying and shaking because he needs you to be absolutely spent before he considers letting up.
Speaking of-
He might dabble in overstimulation, but not maliciously?
If that makes sense??
Like, his stamina is insane and after he's done eating you out, he's already getting ready move on.
And for the most part, you're not opposed but like,
Damn, not even a snack break, y'know?
He's just going.
Def likes missionary because eye contact.
And he can kiss you whenever he wants.
"Look at me, baby."
"So pretty like this."
"Such a good girl."
Likes to hold your hips.
Maybe leaves bruises.
(And totally apologizes afterwards)
I can see him liking doggy.
infrontofamirrorsohecanstillseeyou
I said nothing.
Maybe holds your arms behind you.
Or grab your hair.
You'd have to ask though.
Because he doesn't want to hurt you.
And even if he complies, he's constantly asking if you're okay.
He needs the reassurance.
He'll give you what you want but you have to tell him that he's not hurting you.
You're his precious baby bean and the last thing he wants is to hurt you.
UNLESS
Yeah, we're back to pushing his buttons. Take that pin out.
:))
Let's say the tone encouraged the brat in you and you wanted to test how far he'd go.
He's not gonna say anything while you're out.
Oh, no.
And of course, you're gonna take that as 'he's not gonna do anything', and you keep going.
But he's keeping track.
:))))
And it'll definitely come back to bite you.
"You really thought you'd get away with that?"
"Did my baby forget who's in charge?"
"What kind of punishment do you think you deserve?"
It's a trap, don't answer.
Because whatever you say will be wrong.
If you're thinking you got a one-way ticket to rough sex you are also wrong.
He will hold a grudge.
And he will fuck you over when you aren't expecting it.
Let's say you wanna cook dinner.
He offers to help.
:))))))
You're there, minding your business, chopping up some veggies.
He comes up behind you, all sweet and innocent.
His arms loosely around your waist.
Until he pushes forward and you're trapped between him and the counter.
You wonder why he's like this but then you remember.
:))))))))
You're trying to focus because you know he wants you to give up.
But he's got a plan.
His arms tighten around your waist and he leans down to press kisses on your neck.
He's still eyeing the hand holding the knife.
"Think you can do something for me?"
"If you can finish prepping those, you have permission to cum whenever you want."
Another funishment I think he'd be into is making you wear a vibrator that he can control.
But you have to be super busy.
Errands to run, homework to do, studying for a test.
You have to be doomed from the start, essentially.
Because then he has a reason to talk shit.
"C'mon, baby, we're just walking around the store."
"Focus, baby, you can do it."
"See? You're doing so well."
"If you can finish this assignment on a higher setting, I might let you cum."
You get princess treatment afterwards, lemme tell you.
He has pajamas set up but you have to bathe first.
But you don't have to do anything.
He bathes the both of you so can just relax in the water.
The bath is completely PG. No dirty thoughts bc he knows you're tired.
Shampoos and conditions your hair.
Gently washes your body, being extra careful where he knows you're sensitive.
Dries you off :((
And does the hair wrap thing :((((
Puts the pjs on you and goes to get some water.
He lets you pick a movie.
Not that you'll be awake for it, he just knows you like background noise.
He just puts on pajama bottoms so you can fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat :(( <3
That one's for me bc I love that shit
The second you wake up, best believe you'll have all the food you can think of in front of you.
