(aslo drink water and get some fresh air when you're working dude :D)

I apologise!! I hadn't seen this until just Now! This is so Lovely!! AH! You have an incredibly Beautiful personality yourself! As well as many other people on this platform! Make sure you're all taking very Good care of yourself also! Thank you so much, this is very kind! :O) 💛💛💛

[pestercide]

I just realised that a lot of the reason why I was struggling to leave/become less active on Twitter (besides the fact a lot of my friends are on there) was the fact that's where a majority of the super active Spooky Month fans are. But now that I'm sorta getting back into Minecraft I feel less and less inclined to be active on Twitter so that's something

I mean I will miss seein all the active artists/fans on that platform but it's honestly for the best that I don't touch Twitter much because it's not good for my mental health

I might occasionally drop in there to post but I don't feel a huge obligation anymore pff,, feels like a curse was lifted off my shoulders lmao

Minecrafters Using Reference

Reference as in real world architecture, not other minecrafters' builds, though that's a fair way to learn too. Studying real world architecture gives insights about designing buildings, while studying other minecrafters would give insight into how to accomplish certain effects in Minecraft.

I didn't have more than passing interest in architecture before watching mcyt, but now whenever I'm outside, I'm evaluating the buildings around me. Do I like their shape? color? Any interesting details? Any wear or texture? And above all: How would you do that detail/shape/etc in minecraft? (please note: I don't even play minecraft)

Rendition and Inspiration

There's a minecraft project called BuildtheEarth that's replicating the earth in minecraft on a 1 to 1 scale. There's some fantastic builds on there.

On hermitcraft, Joe Hills is known for creating to scale renditions of real world places/objects. In season 10, he's tackled a project of massive scale with Bell Labs. He used a map from the library of congress to layout all the shapes!

These are examples of renditions/replicas/copies/whatever you want to call it (Although Joe's doubles as a community build area in place of massive parking lots).

Then there's using the buildings for inspiration. This may involve just taking bits and pieces. Or maybe you just take a color palette. Or maybe just the shape. Maybe you don't take anything but vibes. As a general rule, I think having multiple sources of inspiration is important so the new build doesn't end up feeling like a rendition instead of its own thing.

Bdubs in season 9 used the bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service as inspiration for his mud cafe. It can be seen in the wood framing, the stairs, the archway, the shape, the shed, the chimney designs. But the colors, the composition, Bdubs made changes that made it his own and combined the addition to his previous shop Moss o Menos.

The aesthetics of Geminitay's season 10 base is based on the video game Dredge. I feel like the most obvious influence is in her research castle and fishing boats. She used inspiration from the spooky sea creatures in the game to create a uniquely frightening angler shop.

In Pearl's Build a Day series, she did a week focused on real world places. Here's the one she designed after a countryside home in Australia (her home country):

Goodtimeswithscar in season 7, when starting Aqua Town, based his shop on old department stores:

I like looking at his Aqua Town builds in comparison to his Scarland Main Street facades, which draw additional inspiration from Disneyland:

I feel like, comparing the builds you can see how he's grown; he's learned new detailing tricks, found colors and textures that work better with the architecture style. The main street has a similar layout to Disneyland, but his buildings are all unique.

Mogswamp is working on a massive build that's based on architecture drawings from Renzo Picasso:

He's incorporating groin vaults from roman architecture too!

I think builders learning about existing architecture is so good. It can give them so many ideas to add into their toolbox. It reminds them of small details that give builds life, like small sheds, some pipes, porches. And the builds don't need to be realistic; My mind goes to work by Shovel and Joel. Or everything Mumbo has done in season 10.

My experience with Analog Horror/ARGs and why you should check them out

Marble Hornets: the classic, and a big favorite of mine for obvious reasons. I cannot stress enough how good and spooky that series is, and the ToTheArk videos gave me nightmares, love it! <3

If you're into Slenderman stories, you should definitely check it out. The acting is very well done and the story is awesome overall :)

The Sun Vanished: the ARG that started my interest for ARGs, and especially enigmas/internet puzzles. Unfortunately I was not smart enough to figure the stuff out by myself, so I just watched explanations on it. Highly recommended if you like post-apocalyptic settings and subtle horror.

The Mandela Catalogue: possibly the series that brought back my interest for these things. I have only watched the first two seasons of it, as I sadly lost interest after a while, but from what I have watched, I would recommend it to those of you who like horror with religious themes (which is a big thing for me) and most importantly, trust issues. Do keep in mind this series deals with more serious and dark topics, though you have probably heard it already.

Local58: the analog horror of all analog horrors, Local58 barged in before TMC took the spotlight. There is so much going on and all of it is very interesting and scary. America's pride leads to its doom, the moon can control electronic devices, and weird creatures spread through the world. If you like stories that leave you not understanding what the hell just happened but loving it anyway, you will love Local58.

Rocket Archives: A single-video series that has unfortunately been taken down for reasons I am not certain of. But if you're curious what it was about, the video presented a reality where us humans were forced to leave Earth with how hot it was getting, and moved to contained bubbles in space. Suddenly, uh oh! The sun's getting closer! Outer Wilds moment! Everything is melting! Humans are gone and the sun is... alive???

Analog Archives: made by the creator of Rocket Archives, has also been taken down but can still be found re-uploaded. The series is slightly similar to Local58, as in it also focuses on broadcast hijacking used for ending off humans. The series also includes a few religious topics that can get very dark. I love it. "Nature Show" makes me tear up with fear every time.

Gemini Home Entertainment: ALL-TIME FAVORITE MOMENT!!! I don't think I need to explain why I love this one so much. GHE leaves a lot to your imagination/speculation, while also twisting your head directly into the direction of the threat and forcing you to look at it while you squirm in fear. GHE is subtle in the most obvious way, obvious in the most subtle way, and most importantly, IT'S COSMIC HORROR, BABY!!! THERE IS A PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM THAT GOT HERE UNINVITED AND NOW IT WANTS TO EAT US!!! UGHHHH I can't put in words why I think it's so good, it just is. Watch it. The Gardeners are cute, I swear. There's even a plush of them.

Monument Mythos: something something alternate realities, something something time loops. I have not watched all of it, barely even half, but I deemed it a little bit too confusing for my brain. BUT! If you're into things that boogle your mind, you might really like this series! I mean, world monuments are alive, what could be scarier?

Vita Carnis: EW. (affectionate)

But, seriously, if you like gross, you are certainly going to like this series. It's meat, and it's alive. Although, I did stop watching it because it got a tad too graphic and violent for my taste, but if that doesn't bother you, then I recommend it a lot! The editing is soooo good, and some of the creatures are very likable and cute ^v^ (the others are gross and I do not want them near me I do not WANT FUCK OFF)

Don't Look at the Moon: Minecraft spooky. Do I need to say more?

[bucketofminnow]

my mclive liveblog

everything they show for minecraft vanilla is coming out within the next few months (halloween update?)

can we skip everything about the minecraft movie i could not care less about it lol

they continue to plan to drop smaller, more frequent updates rather than one big, yearly update

"later in the show we will show you a new biome with its own mood"

theyre adding hardcore mode and bundles to bedrock!

villager news segment hinting at the new mob! "do you hear that? the creaking"

[about the movie] "all with the goal of authentically capturing the spirit of minecraft" apparently they chose to do live action because they wanted to do something different to what's popular in fan spaces. the youtube live chat is straight "L's" right now. they're showing a scene from the movie. i'm not a fan of this jack black steve that is NOT my steve!

"we had to honor what you experience in the game but also make it work for human scale" "[craft an experience] in a way that's fresh and new but still authentic to the spirit of the game"

villager rescue, our first real world immersive experience. the premise of minecraft experience is authenticity, defining a new lens from which you can interact with the game. it's a story about a village being attacked by zombies and it's your quest to go out and save them. there are interactive screens throughout the game. "this is an experience where you can feel, see and hear what it's like to be in minecraft". that sounds pretty cool

"there is something lurking in the shadows, the creaking". it's a tree-like creature camoflauging in the darkness. there's a special new block that it has a connection to. it doesn't take any damage, and when you hit it, there are particles that point to the creaking heart in the trees, which is how you damage it

"the creaking doesn't exist on its own, it's more of like a puppet of the new block, the creaking heart. it comes with a new combat challenge or mechanic, you need to destroy the heart block to kill the puppet, and the creaking only moves when you look away."

you can obtain the heart with silk touch and place it where you want!

the new trees in the pale garden are pale oak!

the new pale moss carpet spreads on all sides of the blocks!

"we wanted to go for a look that was more eerie than spookie, we didn't want it to be terrifying but we wanted players to feel something was wrong." the pale garden's likeness to dark oak forests is purposeful. also, even the sky is gray in this biome!

you can kill the creaking in creative mode

"when it's connected to the creaking heart, it's invulnerable, it's conected to the tree roots"

the puppet disappears when you pick up the heart with silk touch. the heart seems to spawn in the center of the pale oak trees. "not only are they linked but they have a perimeter they have to stay in"

also, in case anyone missed it, they announced a bit ago (not during mc live) that they're removing the mob vote—on one hand, yay less intercommunity murder, on the other hand, now we won't be able to vote out golems

pale oak doors are gorgeous!

the (hanging?) pale moss has a random configuration for variety

"this was your idea about how to use the creaking to protect yourself and your village" you can only have the creaking heart work when it's night, between two pale wood blocks (top and bottom), and they have to be aligned the same direction as the heart. so there are contraptions you can make to spawn a creaking puppet at night to "protect" the village—although it doesn't seem to attack mobs, so i don't think it will actually be able to protect you.

once the heart is activated, you have to destroy it, as it won't deactivate if you destroy the blocks around it.

we'll be able to play with the new stuff in snapshots "very soon"

OH MY GOD HIII anothr herobrine fan!! can you actually tell a few fun facts + your sources?? It's been so hard finding anything else besides the original story or the notch's brother thing (which is kinda dumb imo)

hiii lovely to hear from you anon!! o/

REAL ANSWER:

first things first: I'm so sorry to let you down but I did mean fun facts for my intepretation of herobrine specifically (i.e. headcanons). that's on me I should have worded it more clearly. sorry :[

best I can do is talk about characterization the community at large seems to agree on, where it differs from "canon", and where I think those traits came from; and how I try to tie those concepts into my own ideas. hopefully you can still get some value out of this post even though it's not what you were looking for <3

(FAIR WARNING THIS GOT LONG AS FUCK BTW)

When I want a refresher on the ancient texts, I usually just reread the Herobrine page on the Minecraft wiki, which has a solid, very well-sourced overview of how the 'pasta was developed and then spread like wildfire. I was GOING to talk about how interesting it is that there's two archetypes that most interpretations of Herobrine can be sorted into: the more passive and creepy one, and the actively dangerous one; but while rereading his wiki page to write this response, I discovered that the Minecraft wiki has already acknowledged and discussed it! So just read the wiki's take on that instead, because it's good to have in mind for everything I'm about to say.

According to the wiki, the original creepypasta and the Brocraft streams are considered "canon", because they came first and were so instrumental to how the character is perceived, and everything after that is considered a fan-made adaptation or variation. I disagree with this a little bit, because I think it's worth noting that many things widely associated with Herobrine, have fuck-all to do with the original 4chan post or subsequent streams. The community perception of him as evolved long past the original "canon".

And the thing is, I don't think that perception is necessarily any more or less canon than the 4chan post or Brocraft streams. The Brocraft streams that helped launch Herobrine as a concept into the stratosphere weren't involved with the original post at all, they just thought the idea was cool and ran with it. Even the very post that dubbed him Herobrine was based off spooky stories about a white-eyed entity that were already being passed around the forums. My point is that from day one, Herobrine has been a creepypasta made not just by one person, but by the entire community. It makes him feel much more like a real urban legend than just a story someone else wrote, and I think that feeling helped contribute to his cultural impact.

Brief aside: I think it's really cool that the stories about an unnamed entity with white eyes came first, and then someone put a name to it. It feels so fitting, it's almost like we all started noticing his presence together, and one person managed to uncover his name :]

The following is a list of characteristics that the community at large agrees represent Herobrine. I see these in almost every interpretation of him, across both the stalker and vengeful archetypes outlined by the wiki. Points in italics originate from "canon".

watching players [4chan post and Brocraft streams]

building/carving out structures with no discernible purpose, stripping trees of their leaves [4chan post]

a literal ghost in the machine [4chan post and Brocraft streams]

seen as a glitch or virus of some kind [related to the above, also perpetuated by Mojang via "-Removed Herobrine" in patch notes]

association with gold/netherrack/redstone torches [originated from first known Herobrine mod (a server plugin), further perpetuated by that really popular Herobrine mod DanTDM reviewed in 2014]

association with redstone traps [also originated from that popular mod (to my knowledge), and in my opinion somewhat perpetuated by the game itself by the generation of man-made structures that contain traps but no explanation for their existence lol]

some level of control over/communication with mobs [unsure of origin, possibly that Herobrine mod in conjunction with YouTube machinima and animations?]

can fly and often floats instead of walking [likely popularized by YouTube machinima and animations, artists on tumblr seem to unanimously agree on this point]

As you can see, the community perception of him takes inspiration from much more than just the first conceptualizations of the character. (Though of course this is just my perception of the community perception, so maybe I just live in an echo chamber and I'm way off!)

Isn't that just so fucking cool?! I find it so fascinating how these throughlines developed from an innumerable amount of fanworks across multiple art forms. I find it so interesting what features are universally agreed-upon to represent Herobrine, and which ones are specific to an individual perception of him.

LESS BRIEF ASIDE: You'll notice how, despite this "fact" being a prominent part of the canon, I haven't mentioned him being Notch's dead brother. The reason for this is simple: I agree with you in that it's fucking stupid. I mean, it makes sense in the context of the original post—it's a creepypasta, you gotta tie in a mysterious, tragic death related to a relevant figure somehow. But removed from that context, like most interpretations of Herobrine are going to be, and it just makes the viewer kinda roll their eyes (especially since Notch hasn't even been involved with Minecraft for like a fucking decade now). TL;DR= good for pasta, bad for character.

But hey, that's the beauty of something that is both an urban legend and "a character". Every version of Herobrine to exist is essentially that person's OC anyway, so you might as well tweak canon for a better character/story. Also, he's public domain forever, and that's beautiful in of itself 😌

LENGTHY ASIDE: I also want to spend a second discussing 2019 mineblr and the popular interpretation of Herobrine at the time; because that's something I was personally there for, and I think it's neat how different that characterization was compared to those around it.

During the 2019 mineblr resurgence, Herobrine seemed just as popular in that corner of Tumblr as he'd been on YouTube 5 years prior. At the time, mineblr seemed to agree on a few key traits that separated this characterization of Herobrine from most others, namely:

trans gay icon

not merely a neutral observer at best and aggressor at worst, but rather benevolent, or at least misunderstood

ASIDE-CEPTION: Logically, I know the idea of trans gay Herobrine most likely would have happened on Tumblr at that time anyway. But for fun, I like to think it was jumpstarted entirely by the trans icon herobrine skin and his more popular sequel, trans icon herobrine but with better pants.

The idea of him being Notch's brother was usually ignored altogether, and when it was acknowledged, it was to present Notch as the villain—a complete reversal from the roles given to them by the community in 2014. That's because by this time, Notch had gotten... Weird on Twitter. Like, QAnon weird. So, many of the people who had grown up with this game and the cultural movement around it felt betrayed (of course this can also be attributed to his lack of involvement with the game, but have you noticed that no one calls enchanted golden apples "Notch apples" anymore?).

I actually think this factored into Herobrine's resurgence in popularity on mineblr, and the perception of him being more misunderstood than truly malevolent; because the wider Minecraft community had slotted him into this like, "anti-Notch" role for so long, if Notch turned out to be awful, then obviously the anti-Notch had to be good, right? But I digress.

ANYWAY. It's very interesting to me that Herobrine the creepypasta is easily defined; I mean, just look at the original 4chan post. There, done. You defined it. But Herobrine the character is not. In fact, by nature, he is almost undefinable. Which is itself a trait I try to incorporate into my own characterization (example: he doesn't consider himself a specific species, he's known only as a "highly autonomous cosmic anomaly". that's as specific as he can get), because I think that feeling of ambiguity (and on a slightly less meta level, that feeling of not knowing what the fuck this thing is or what it might do) is essential to the "feeling" of Herobrine.

So, the question isn't what makes Herobrine (character) Herobrine, because that is, and always will be, impossible to answer. Instead the question becomes, what makes him Herobrine to you? What bundle of concepts do you find the most compelling? I can't answer that for you, but I can answer it for myself.

Other than what I've already discussed, my #1 external source of inspiration for this character is... the scene in ElementAnimations' An Egg's Guide To Minecraft where they uncover this ancient, forgotten temple and accidentally free Herobrine/fail to stop a summoning ritual (don't rember the specifics). I was like, 11 years old and that shit never left me. That feeling of coming across something so much older than anything you've ever known, so much larger than yourself, and then somehow it becomes tangible and real, is fucking unparalleled. Gravity Falls is also a big inspiration here, specifically the sense of mystery and tension and awe in the last scene of the last episode of S1, and the entirety of "Not What He Seems" (EPISODE OF ALL TIME. OH MY GOD). That's what I want to capture.

(Unfortunately much of We Are The Daylight was written when I was 15, and 15yo me did not capture it successfully. But hey, it can only go uphill from there!)

So that's the core idea behind of my interpretation of him. It's also important to me that I tie in not just canon but community concepts of what represents Herobrine into my own characterization. And how do I go about doing that?

A lot of my ideas stem from the idea of him being a glitch in the system. Because I write Minecraft from the perspective of it being a real world populated by real people, just one that happens to operate on what we see as video game logic, that would make a glitch into kind of a cosmic horror in-universe, right? Something that breaks the laws of reality as we know it? And once I made that connection, so many cool art opportunities opened up to me... I would love to go into detail on what that means for his psyche and how he sees the world but that is NOT within the scope of this response I fear. I will say that he can suck all the light out of a room (based off lighting errors in-game) and make human eyes appear out of the shadows on all the walls (based off the scary gif linked to Brocraft viewers after the Herobrine stream) <333

That's also why I write him as a shapeshifter, he just folds his consciousness into a bundle of energy and picks a pre-existing form (i.e. in-game model) to manifest. The form that he takes most often, which is humanoid with pointed ears, sharp fangs, claws, and a glowing blue tongue (and sometimes a tail) is essentially a mob that he coded in for himself. And yes, he loses his grip on his physical form when overwhelmed, and yes, it looks fucking awesome. I ❤️ THE MANDELBROT SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first started writing him in 2019, I made him trans basically just because, y'know, it was the thing to do. Everyone else was doing it and who was I to dissent? But as my understanding of his character, and my own trans-ness (I don't use any and all pronouns for cis reasons!) developed, it became a fundamental part of his psyche I can't imagine him without. Post-transition, his gender identity isn't really important to him/something he thinks about most of the time, but the experience of being trans is something that never leaves.

can't tell you how I tie in the ghost in the machine concept because it's tragic backstory you haven't unlocked yet. soz. I can tell you that my design for him isn't just stylization; he picked such a desaturated skintone on purpose because he liked how subtly off-putting it made him look :D

In personality, my interpretation is generally a distant observer who only gets up close to fuck with people lmao. He finds a lot of joy in creeping others out or just making them jump, which is inspired partly by his jumpscare-esque appearances in the Brocraft streams, and on a more meta level, partly by his status as a viral hoax irl. It seems only fitting, right? It also depends on when in the timeline we're talking about, because his behavior changed as he. y'know. changed as a person.

man, almost everything else I was gonna say is related to the fucked up way he perceives reality, which would need to be explained first. uhhh he can control non-sapient mobs (such as animals or undead) by manipulating their pathing, but it takes some focus. I made the leafless trees a spontaneous, involuntary response to strong emotion (usually, but not always, fury or frustration) because it's fucking cool. He's associated with the Nether because he learned to swordfight from piglins and spent a lot of time there, and picked up some of their culture in the process too. He likes building traps because he's interested in redstone devices in general; and he especially likes technical contraptions that do something insane that shouldn't be possible (à la Docm77 and the Hivemind).

I hope that was at least entertaining/interesting for someone, if not as informative as anon requested. I'm sorry I didn't have what you wanted, but I thank you for the opportunity to talk about how fucking cool I think this community-made character is (and about my own take on it) :] <3

JOKE ANSWER:

wow I'm so glad you asked!! I get all my information from the critically-acclaimed We Are The Daylight, widely regarded to be awesome and cool and sexy and objectively correct all the time. no relation haha lol

Could there be a good minecraft movie?

From the look of the trailer, it seems like the movie is gonna get every single thing it could possibly get wrong. They dont have faith in their audience to understand a plot taking place in a world so different from our own, so they go with the isekai plot, the single laziest direction they couldve taken.

But what would a good minecraft movie look like? It would be hard to pull off, but not impossible.

Firstly, most of us can all agree that a minecraft movie should not be live action, its a heavily stylized game and the real people in it look ridiculously out of place. the movie should stay fully animated and not overly detailed. Personally, i think the movie could look great in stop motion. Stop motion can really bring out the combination of cozy and spooky feeling that minecraft has.

what about the plot?

Minecraft is a very quiet and atmospheric game, there is no dialogue, everybody communicates, but nobody talks including steve. It's a sandbox game, because it lets you build and terraform and shape the world as you want and move towards the end goal at your own pace (if youre interested in completing the end goal at all). But also because throughout the game you're given bits and pieces of lore and you're the one to put them together to how you see them. Why are endermen hurt by water? What are creepers? Why are piglins so stingy about gold? Who built the pyramids and monuments? You don't get the answer, it's up to your own interpretation. Going back to the movie, it really should be low on dialogue. Steve could narrate the movie, but he never talks (like Spirit from "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron). He sees an enderman and makes eye contact qith it which aggrevates it, he doesnt know why it aggrevated it, but from that experience he learns not to do that anymore and manages to co exist peacefully with them. If anyone talked in that movie, it should be alex (if shes even in the movie), but she doesnt talk a lot and nobody understands her language but steve who cant talk back. Communication is done through body language and actions, the visuals and the music (and i mean minecraft music) primarely tell the story.

What would it be about tho?

When we begin to play minecraft, we're thrown into the world with no manual or instructions, we're on our own empty handed, we go through the world learning how to craft, what to do with new items we find, which mobs are our allies and which our foes. I remember playing minecraft for the first time (actually quite recently, sometime after the nether update) and i was so confused and stressed because i had no idea what i was supposed to be doing, everything was strange and foregin and there was no guide on what to do. But as i got the hang ot it, as i started exploring and gathering materials and building my base it soon became fun and relaxing. The further i went, the more confident i felt. This is what the movie should be about. Being in this unknown world without anyone to guide you and the only way forward is to try and fail and try again and face the unfamiliar and get to know your surroundings. It should be about facing the fear of unknown, letting yourself fail, breaching out of the comfort zone, not finding your place in the world, but building it. It doesn't have to end with slaying the dragon, it can end with steve realizing he is not afraid anymore, that he has what he needs to feel comfortable and all the confidence to go forward. I feel like a lot of people that grew up with minecraft as kids are now young adults and a movie about being placed in a new environmemt where you're the one to take care of yourself and nobody guides you by hand would reasonate with them quite a lot

but, you know, i'm sure another jumanji clone with jack black starring as jack black in blue shirt will do the trick just as well.

ive seen your percabeth caregiver hc, if you don't mind can you do a nico (or solangelo) caregiver hc :))

Sorry this took sooo long,I havent been in the fandom for a few months but I hope I did well,I didnt really proofread much/:,hope you like it.

Caregiver Nico Di Angelo Headcanons (with a little bit of Will ofc.) 

•Does better with older regressors (4-8) so he can take them on adventures or play fight more than in comparison to a very small regressor.

•Ghost themed nicknames,I could see him going with Casper. 

•Would buy you a carebear,either funshine bear (cause he reminds him of Will) or grumpy bear cause it represents him,probably even both. 

•Paints your nails too when he notices that you keep watching him painting his black,however he will get you more colors the next time he’s out,probably some glitter too. 

•That boy will give you all the gifts and treats on birthdays or etc,however he makes sure youre not ever acting spoiled,although you definitely are.He sees something at the store that reminds him of you? You got it. He sees your favorite snack or maybe a toy that you’d like? Why not just bring it home to you? 

•Not too much of a dress up guy,though he wont mind a bit of glitter and eyeshadow at all from time to time. 

•Will love watching any spooky show with you,any Tim burton movie,Monster High,anything whimsical.

•He‘d love doing halloween activities or sensory play with his little. 

•Very nonchalant when someone asks about you,not that he doesn’t want to show you off,he’s just fine with protecting you and keeping you to himself (and maybe Will). 

•Surprisingly strict,but (as with Percy and Annabeth) Will and him balance eachother out,not because Will isnt worried or protective but because he cant say no to you,ever. Nico however wants to make sure your safe and well,and that’s always his priority. 

•You will get McDonalds most nights anyways but during the day he likes to make sure you get at least some vitamin. 

•Him,Will and you have gaming nights and he absolutely adores it,his go to‘s with you are usually mario cart or minecraft. He also LOVES resident evil but tries not to play it when youre regressed around him for obvious reasons. 

•Will get you a haunted vintage doll to play with(after making sure its safe of course),one out of porcelain that just the perfect combination between cute and creepy. 

•A pro at bedtime stories,but when him and Will read to you together and do silly voices and sound effects for you,you’ve never been more entertained (although it took Nico a few rounds to open up to it when Will went all in.)

 •Will babysits all the time and absolutely adores watching you and Nico

•You‘ll probably come along with Will when he heals people,to 'help',mostly just putting glittery,colorful bandaids on the patients.

•If you fall and get hurt or something Will puts bandaids on your favorite stuffed animal too.

Anyway, guys, it's going to be a spooky scary fact... there is a Notch in my source. NO, HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CREATOR OF MINECRAFT, I won't even tag anything releated to him.

This is my brother, he is 7 years older than me, he is also a god like me (our race is also called "Deuses").

Initially, of course, he was "inspired" by Marcus, but now it's actually just an OC with a strange name.

He's a workaholic, alcoholic, perfectionist, and a bit of a narcissist, but I love him :^)

We have a, uh, weird relationship, to be honest.

We have a codependent relationship, I already fucked him up(??? Idk how to say it properly, I am too clingy and annoying to him), and we also had a fight, as a result of which he almost killed me, BUT, UH, HE'S GENERALLY NORMAL, DON'T WORRY.

The first 2 artworks were made by AlienRD (they don't have their own social networks), and the last one is by me!

Who We Cookin Next?

I'm a wee bit stumped on who to render/design next, and as much as I absolutely love Jenna's "Midwest Indigo" outfit, I gotta wait a hot minute.

So, I'm throwing out a poll; I'll do the skins in order of which has the most votes.

(Also I'm aware the render looks kinda empty; I lost the addon that lets me import Minecraft maps so I'm waiting for a redownload. Have a Quen who couldn't fit in the render but is very much present.)

[the-pink-baphomet1861]

So I went on a bit of a Minecraft horror bender this Halloween and I found some cool nice mods and fun stories, but there was something else I found that was really interesting.

It involves the infamous Minecraft legend of Herobrine, the spooky Steve skin with white eyes. Apparently it was discovered that he has his origins in a different story about another Minecraft monster called White Eyes, a skeleton-spider creature that haunted caves and menaced players, but that’s not all. White Eyes was also described as a female monster

You know what that means?

HEROBRINE IS A TRANS ICON BABYYYY

[what-makes-a-hero]

" Hey!! Jesse here!! " " After everything that happened with the Admin and his defeat, I have sort of decided to settle down a bit...emphasis on the sort of part. As of recently I've been traveling with Petra to a bunch of new places, and it's been really fun thus far! I've also decided that I'm going to start writing down the things we find and learn about on our journey, in this journal. I've never been one for journaling. That's more of a...Lukas thing. But i figured it was worth a shot. " " We just got back from The End. Someone found a new way to access it a while back, since Soren's portal was destroyed after the flood. We found this giant old city and these cool wings. Petra says they're called Elytra. I've never heard of them before, but they are definitely fun to mess with. I wonder what would happen if you wore them and set off something like a firework, or a bomb in mid air? " " Either way ... I've been enjoying myself these past few weeks. But something still feels off. I know, it could just be post-adventure jitters. Running around in The End was pretty spooky. But... " " I don't know. It's silly, really. I'll probably be fine. " " I kind of have to be, don't i? " " Anywho, it’s getting late and I'm pooped. We have so much more walking to do tomorrow... Until next time. "

ASKS ARE CURRENTLY : OPEN

-- OOC : -- HEYYY!! I made this AU blog on a whim so uh...please bear with me here. Before you keep on truckin, please consider reading the TW list below, since this plot is going to get kind of dark. If you are triggered by topics such as : Derealization/Depersonalization, Loss, Paranoia, Surrealism, Delusions, Mental Deterioration, or Memory Loss.

Please consider turning back and getting a drink of water!

If this isn't the case for you, then...keep on truckin i guess heheheh...

____________________________________________________________

SO. This AU starts after S2. Xara and Romeo are gone, and Jesse has decided to go adventuring with Petra. (This is red-hairclip Jesse for reference.) Things are all fine and dandy now. She's having a good time. Exploring the world with a friend at her side, just like the old days. But something still feels wrong. She rarely feels hunger or pain anymore. Mobs seem to get knocked out with one hit, and even the hardest blocks seem to break with ease. This isn't normal. Right? Right... No one else has noticed yet, thankfully. Maybe it's better if she just keeps it to herself. In the meantime though, she has been writing her findings down in her journal (A.K.A this blog!) in an attempt to keep herself more organized. Things seem to slip past her mind much more easily than they used to. It’s a bit disorienting, but writing it down helps.

Now you might be wondering. Where do you come in? While this askblog is mostly going to be following a set path. Your words matter, and will affect the way things go going forward! Feel free to come up with theories, ask questions, or just do whatever (within reason)!

——————————————————————

! Brief Rules !

No weird or freaky asks! Anything pertaining to that will be deleted and ignored. Spam/Donation asks will be turned down as well. Since this is not the place for them.

A lot of this AU will be taking creative liberties, which means that certain things may not follow the rules of Minecraft/MCSM. Like the limitations of commands blocks, for example. If this bothers you, then this isn’t the place for you boo.

Feel free to interact if you’re roleplaying a canon character / oc! And don’t be afraid to ask multiple questions! I sincerely don’t mind! I also don’t mind being invited to long form roleplays, so uh…yeah I’m down for pretty much anything haha.

I will not be doing any blatant ships. I’d rather keep my mind set on the storyline. Jokes / hints are fine. Any kind of force will be ignored / deleted.

Canon events or important story bits will be tagged with #📝 Anything that isn’t tagged with this is most likely not canon.

Any OOC interactions will be surrounded with parentheses.

Please do not steal any of the art I’ve made for this, or the art @p3tr1xx made for the pfp! (Awesome work btw…thank you so much teehee.)

Last but not least, consider sharing this with your friends! I’d love to interact with you all! :)

Now ask away ya goblins!!
