#ive had ccs like my fanart before

[watermelonfrog2]

Fuck it, long post time.

Dsmp is so AAGGHH. I love it so much, its introduced me to some of the people I care about most and it has made me feel ways no other fandom has made me feel. I love the plotholes. I love the lack of consistency. I love how everyone has a different view on how the story played out. I love how if you asked someone what happened during a certain era their answer will be different from the next. I love the art. I love the animatics. I love the characters. I love the fanfiction. I love the story. I love the aus. I love how homemade it feels. I love how it feels like people wanted to make a cool thing so they made a cool thing. I love how the fandom took small bits of the ccs personality, added it to their character and ran with it. I love how each character had totally different motivations from any other character. I love how some things didnt make sense. I love how somethings never got answered. I love the ending. I love how somethings didnt end. I love unserious it was at times. I love how serious it was at times. I love the fans. I love the theories. I love the edits. I love the gacha reaction videos (ifykyk). I love Henry. I love c!tommy. I love exile arc. I love c!niki. I love the petwar. I love the lines, improvised or not. I love "If you wanna be a hero tommy? then die like one." I love c!SBI. I love c!Bee duo. I love c!disc duo. I love exile arc. I love pogtopia. I love l'manburg. I love c!ranboo. I love c!tubbo. I love the Big Innit/Manifold Hotel. I love shroud. I love how it was able to bring a large group of people together. I love how its let me make so many friends. I love the fandom. I love how its changed me. I love dsmp. Dsmp means so much to me because its become MY fandom. Its become what I return to when Im sad or happy. Its the only fandom I really read fics for. Its the only show/thing Ive cared about to this extent. Its the only show where Ive actually cared about a character. Its how I found my love of watching twitch streamers. It got me back into playing minecraft. It got me into writing. It makes me want to improve on my art. DSMP is my comfort fandom, my main fandom, everything and anything all at once. I love watching compilations of the characters. I love all the cosplays. I love how ive gotten into so many hobbies because of it. I owe my personality to C!tommy and cc!tommy and dsmp as a whole. I owe my internet presence to dsmp. It has such a special place in my heart. I love c!tommy. I love how he cares for animals. I love how hes mean and aggrressive and rude. I love how hes hurt adn traumatised and healing. I love the relationships between the characters. I love how c!tommy cares and he doesnt. I love how the discs mean so much to him. I love how his decisions are drived by emotions. I love him having so many attachments. I love how other people will think my view of him is wrong/different to theirs. I love how dsmp allowed me to experiment with who I am (personality wise). I love how dsmp entered me to a part of the internet I would never have seen before. I love how I feel nostalgic looking at the fanart or fansongs. I love. It all. I know this was really rambl-y but ive just been thinking about it and I have so many feelings. My concluding statement is: DSMP has shpaed me into who I am and no one can take it away from me. It will always have a special place in my heart.

considering the actual definition of a tumblr sexyman these are who I'm advocating for

etho

tall lanky boy

Actually very awkward and silly but drawn badass/sexy by fandom you have no idea how many gay breakdowns I've had over Etho art I mean cough what

Mischievous 

Even his friends refer to him as an eldrich creature 

Usually portrayed as pretty masculine but no matter what, GENDERRRRRRRR

Xornoth

Now. The fandom was already down bad enough for him before his uncorrupted form was shown, and after that, OH BOY.

He's proud about having gone to 'demon high school' and 'demon college' why the fuck do we portray him as sexy as we do he's lowkey a loser he got trapped in a CRYSTAL 

His demon form's not just black and red, he's black and *VAPORWAVE PINK/PURPLE*. 

I'm going to be CLAWING for Xornoth to survive the round against Ranboo oh boy,,

AMENDMENT: I forgot to mention (cc!)Scott: "smash or [pass],,, Smash Xornoth- well, I can't say that, because he's my BROTHER, but... if he was NOT... then yes :3" (from Feb 16 2022 stream I don't have the clip but I have this terrible animatic)

cleo

"are about to let another cishet white man win another competition"

Fuck the skinny tall archetype anyway

They're a badass and that's all there is to it

Goodtimeswithscar

I really don't need to explain this one he's probably gonna win anyway

Doc

I think we're forgetting that Doc fans' reaction to Doc making a tumblr account was to mass-post art of him in a maid dress. This treatment has to qualify in some way

gets lumped into the villain role a lot but at least slays at it

Sparklez

Cg5 wrote a song about his abs. Like literally do I need to say more

I used to ruuuuule the woooooorld HES GOT THE MEMES. HES GOT THE HISTORY IN THE FANDOM

Sausage

..my TL. my poor poor TL. ive seen far too many sexymanified drawings of sausage (god damn you E. And sausage himself for encouraging it all)

Grian

He's only on this list because of Griande

AMENDMENT: also because of watcher fanon, cuteguy, the wacky gender stuff, he's basically our OC at this point like

Tango

OKAY SERIOUSLY HAVE YOU SEEN HOW PEOPLE DRAW TANGO??? HES EITHER DRAWN AS A HOT ENGINEER, A CLASSY GENTLEMAN, OR A BADASS EBOY. THERE IS NO INBETWEEN.

Mumbo jumbo

again. Pathetic guy who's drawn way too hot by the fanartists

He has the 'formal outfit' qualification! And tall he's literally 6'5

Jimmy

see above but x2 he's nothing but a loserboy in Canon why is his fanart kinda,,

He tries so hard to be a badass and the fanartists/writers are who actually give that to him

I know nothing about mp but Reigen reminds me of him

overall I think Etho Scar and Xornoth (might be biased on that one) are the most sexyman

[moon-swag-tourney]

please tell me about your blorbos/myshows i have questions

these are all the series/characters i want to hear more about,,, don't fret if your blorbo isn't on here, some of them i just don't want spoilers for, and others are from things I'm already a fan of!

this is. kind of long bc im curious about a lot of things. but if you spot your guy in here feel free to send me an ask or respond to this!! also this is just in alphabetical order lmao

The main things I'm looking for are:

About the character

The premise of the series theyre in

Please assume this has spoilers, btw!

Aruru Otsuki - Revue Starlight

tbh I don't understand what kind of franchise revue starlight is so that's my first question. But I also see that a lot of people love her and i wanna know what's up with that!! i heard a lot about her experiencing potential found family trauma and that's always interesting to see

Bayonetta

this is kind of a weird one bc tbh bayonetta is rlly popular as is, and it's something i've been wanting to get into for awhile, so my main question is: is it inappropriate for minors or could i watch it and if so what's the best order/sequence to watch the games in??

Cure Moonlight / Yuri Tsukikaga - Heartcatch Precure

tbh im just gay on this one. but I saw a lot of love for her even when she had zero propaganda so i wanna know what makes her so beloved by the precure fans?? and tbh if the precure she's in isn't too long i'll probably watch it

Hisoka Mikage - A3!

I'm gonna let you guys on a secret. this dude is the reason I wanted to make this. he only had one submission but on top of being a long one the amnesia storyline just appeals so deeply to me please tell me how I can absorb info about him and/or watch canon events of him oh my god

Judith - Tales of Vesperia

i think i mentioned it in the ask about her but she's seem interesting!! and im always down for some sapphic storylines!! a lot of it is just that ive heard the tales of vesperia name but never really knew what it was, but off of the descriptions i do have i could enjoy it and wanna hear what exactly it's about?

Moonlight Cookie - Cookie Run

i've. tried to get into cookie run before. but i just couldn't bring myself to care. so i guess my question is can you guys please tell me about how she's a lesbian, as someone who has zero bias whatsoever (lying i am a lesbian) and also just what appeals to you about the story so i can maybe give it a second shot?

Sigma Klim - Zero Escape

listen im all for mastermind plots, even if I know the plottwist going into it. ive seen fanart of 999 from an artist i've admired for awhile and it looks like it could be interesting but i don't know what the series is about so please tell me if you don't mind,,

Sirius Gibson - Witch's Heart

im a sucker for games with different endings, and also a sucker for small indie games that have a lot of passion put into them. i'm not actually sure if that's what this, but that's what i assume it is, and it looks interesting enough to give a chance either way? but i don't

Ursula Callistis / Shining Chariot - Little Witch Academia

so uh. fun fact. one of my siblings actually tried to get me into little witch academia once! and then we never continued bc i guessed the plot twist of the teacher being shining chariot, but that was very early on before i'd really gotten attached to anyone. what im trying to say is if you can pitch the writing and/or characters of this that would be epic sldkjf

Vanitas of the Blue Moon - Vanitas no Carte

i honestly can't remember what appealed to me about em off the top of my head, but it mightve been that one post with the gifs going a bit more into the lore of the story? as of now im just a sucker for the aesthetic but i wanna hear more about the premise to see if its my kind of story sdljf

Yue / Yukito Tsukishiro - Card Captor Sakura

i actually have friends who are fans of ccs! well. friends of friends im not super close to but it still counts! i wanna hear more about them bc tbh i both think he could be interesting and im sure said friends would appreciate it :'D i also just don't know a lot about ccs premise though, if you'd like to offer that instead!

[irushhater]

CC SPIDERSONAS! 🕸

the inspo behind making these was the fact that i had gotten into irushtheworld around the time i has watched spiderverse, and he had shown insane interest in spiderman in general. thus spawned the first spidersona i made:

SpiderRush!

what makes me most proud of this is that loves it! hes said multiple time how cool it is and such and it makes me very happy.

then, i began to itch to make more sonas. and the idea struck to use spiderman action figures as the base pose for these designs. which led me to make:

Spider - X!

its not incredibly obvious that this is a cscoop spidersona, modeled a bit after his new felix the cat rip-off (his words) sona.

soon enough i made another, which took near twice as long as the previous because i kept getting distracted by his 12 hr stream:

Spider Joko!

i even got input from him whilst making it; if i hadnt hed be wearing a goober hat! but this isnt truly the final design. i had been unhappy with the eyes right when i finalized it and never got around to fixing them until a few weeks ago:

i think they look tons better! much easier to draw proportionally.

and finally, my most recent cc spidersona, which i decided to actually plan out and brainstorm for:

Spider - Boof!

boofdelivery!! i took a few aspects from smthe red scout and a certain piece of boof fanart by johnnydoodss to plan this out. ive never drawn shoes like that before but im proud of them!

thank you for reading! i spent a lot of time making all of these, and they substantially helped me to exit my art block! i hope you all enjoy them as much as i do! :3

[pixiecaps]

is it bad that i hate with an intensity and block everyone who goes "let the egg event die already 🙄" "kill them all and move on" etc. ?? forever and cellbit were listing their campaign proposals and one of them was new eggs for the inactive players, and suddenly i see a bunch of people on twitter being hateful towards them and laughing about how "they can't let a bunch of pixels go" like ??? i don't understand those kind of people, fandom and ccs alike. i get not being interested in the eggs but purposefully spreading negativity, hating on creators who found companionship with the eggs and fans who also grew attached to them? why? if you don't like it then don't watch. finally something different is being done on a mc series and they just wanna go back to people screaming and killing each other like it's an anarchy server.

yeah i think your opinion is valid

ive always been the type of person to enjoy those types of characters and mobs in games so im very aware of that negative behavior. i was somebody who was invested in the dsmp and loved a little mob named michael and had to constantly see people shit on others for being attached to michael and actively hoping michael would die because thats totally normal behavior. so i get it.

i agree that the egg event is something really brilliant that we haven’t really seen before when it comes to smps or at least to this scale and i’ve grown an appreciation for the entire thing. like the work and dedication quackity must have put in to this entire operation is astounding.

there’s always going to be people with that opinion and mocking attitude. especially on twitter. personally i thought their plan was pretty interesting and even more interesting if it were to be approved by the federation. i think the people hating should allow the cc’s to do what they enjoy. like theres nothing wrong with being attached to pixels. thats how fiction works. you get attached to shit. CRAZY i know.

i am also somebody who leans strongly into curating your own online experience. block anybody who is annoying thats my motto! but also try not to dwell on it too much like when i personally see something that bothers me i block, move on, and try not to think about it. don’t wanna let that negativity take up any of your time. avoid getting into any online arguments or discourse cause i promise you it never matters. why let that stuff cause you frustration when you can instead focus on good things like cool fanart!! and silly clips!!:)

[pinksparklelps]

For that ask game, answer whatever you want here!! Especially 30 :3

Hell yea

First of all i am doin great my friends n I are cutting down every tree in the forest because its funny

1: Pinksy was my first oc! And she has developed quite a lot. One thing about her is that her sweater used to change color depending on her mood. And also she had a sparkle form. Ive changed her drastically over the years because of learning about how to make a proper character and im proud of pinksy

3: Maple is probably my biggest self-insert. Back in elementary i was a BIG fan of splashkittyartist and kinda made my own little world based of it. I went by the nickname maple back then and loved cats so maple was born. Shes never had any big story stuff, she just always represented me

6: plenty of my ocs are storyless atm. But having the multiverse gives them a place to hang out and just exist! Im not sure if some will get a story, but characters like stonewalker eventually got one so its a possibility

7: I absolutely love Omu and Tichis friendship!! I love writing them together and how they interact. I see it as a found family situation and they both love each other /p after being found and accepted by tichi, omu simply refuses to leave this pink ray of sunshine

13: the story with the most lore is probably Sanctuary Of Wilted Flowers, as i have the entire plot written down and have thought about making little oneshots for everyones time before the main story events. Following it would be a tie between Lilystar And The Warriors Of WingClan, Crystal Colors, and The Spirits Of The Seasons

20: Im incredibly proud of SOWF and Crystal Colors!! I draw the sowf gang a lot, as well as melody and mute from CC

21: might sound cliche but ever since i was a kid. I would make up stories with friends about fairies, i would draw with a kid at school, i drew a lotta undertale fanart, and i even used flipaclip back then. I still carry that dream of becoming an animator, but i probably wont be there for a while

25: unsurprisingly fantasy! I love being able to make entirely new worlds and new rules they follow. Magic and creatures and robots and everything really fascinate me and i love drawing/writing them

26: i really like Warriors and Wings of Fire. My parents did try to get me into Harry Potter a few years ago but it just never stood out to me and was incredibly boring. Glad because i hate the author with a burning passion

[heliumcake]

do you ever jjust sit there living your normal and very sane life and then randomly remember wilbur soot liked your gay fanart of his minecraft character and his psycho competitive buddy pinning him down on twitter or am i the only one who will be forever forced to carry that burden

[dyketubbo]

mkay. ive woken up, it doesnt seem like theres any new developments, so. post explaining what the hells been going on about the ae/emeraldduo qpr discourse ig woo. this is going to be from my perspective, because i am one person. shocker. anyways,

basic summary: i made a post saying that because c!kristin is canon and philza and techno have boundaries against shipping, i believed that maybe there should be a genuine effort to chill out with putting c!philza and c!technoblade in a qpr or platonic marriage, as c!philza being married to c!kristin is based off the irl marriage and c!philza and c!technos friend dynamic is based off the ccs dynamic even outside of the dream smp (such as, of course, the antarctic empire being a smpearth thing). i also said this because i feel like theres a genuine problem in the fandom with how it treats kristin, not only in fanart (making her skinny and white), but also just. in general, overshadowing her with the idea of emeraldduo being married, shit like that, and it irked me esp bc shes a woc while philza and techno are white men.

people get pissed at me, both to my face and behind my back, and i get insulted, called stupid, arophobic, anti-polyam, told i dont understand friendship and that i dont have friends. i joined a server just to wake up and find myself banned and blocked with no explanation, left to assume that i was talked about behind my back while i was unable to defend myself. out of all the people who disagreed with me, one person. one. person. was nice to me and didnt call me arophobic, actually giving me constructive criticism and a chance to elaborate. one. i finally start to feel better two days after the fact, consulting people outside the fandom to get second opinions and getting happy when people agreed with me and even gave insight to things i didnt consider, and what do i get?

someone rbed to tell me "not to go on twitter" because people were talking about me, and informing me that there was a group chat dedicated to "talking about how wrong [i am]". what the rest of the post said, i dont remember, because the person seems to have me blocked and i fucking panicked after being told theres literally an entire group of people talking about me on twitter- of which, yknow. is known for harassing people and even once had a black girl doxxed?? not to mention that the person who mocked me for supposedly not having friends did so when i said to leave me alone, and ive said publicly for people to leave me alone consistently, and. well, insulting and going after someone, or even talking about them behind their back, when they said to leave them alone is in fact harassment, by definition.

im accused of not listening to philza, with the only clip being given to me of him talking about c!emeraldduo being like "the platonic version of achilles and patroclus", as if platonic = queerplatonic. yesterday was the first time i was given a clip of phil talking about qprs specifically, given to me by someone who didnt evem disagree with me anyways, again showing the people disagreeing with me were barely actually willing to cooperate with me. i have. complicated feelings on the clip (mainly with how its worded as just headcanons and only given the definition of "platonic life partners" which.. hm.), but this post isnt about that.

regardless, i vent to my friends, because i was having a delusional breakdown, and one makes a post saying they didnt want to interact with the fandom after people went after me. they inform me that both people who insulted me before and others reblogged from their post to again assert that im arophobic, claim that no one was talking about me outside of people publicly talking about how "arophobic" i am (which.. is people talking about me), claim that i called people racist and sexist (i didnt?? i dont think anyones racist and sexist, not even for what i brought up concerning the fandoms treatment of kristin, it gives me a bad taste in my mouth, but i would never call anyone racist or sexist for it [outside of the whitewashing but thats a different issue from the qpr discussion]), and then they were sent anon hate, one even asserting that they were arophobic and talking over minority groups and therefore deserved to be in their bad home situation. outside of their post being in the dream smp tag, its hard to believe that people just. normally found their post. unless they were going through the recent posts in the dream smp tag (which i dont feel is the case), it is.. concerning that they found my friend trying to defend me so quickly and immediately decided to continue to talk about me behind my back and even insult them as well.

so.. yknow, not great in asserting that there arent people tracking me somehow, which is incredibly triggering and paranoia inducing.

either way, in the end, if people disagree with me about the situation, i dont care, i cant stop them, but i just want people to stop being fucking pricks about it. i want people to stop being pissy at me and about me, i want people to stop insulting me and telling me and telling people i interact with that im arophobic when im not. i want people to stop pretending to care when they tell me to take a break when theyre the fucking reasons i have to take a break. i want people to stop being condescending to me, to stop talking about me, to stop acting like theyre superior while fucking insulting me.

i just wanted to bring up an issue about the lack of respect kristin gets, and people as always turned it into something about philza and technoblades relationship when that was literally the behavior that i was complaining about. i hate that me wanting to talk about how kristin and her marriage to phil is treated turned into me having several breakdowns in one day because i kept getting worse and worse news about how people were treating me. i hate that i did take breaks, that i actively distracted myself, went outside, took care of my pets, took care of myself, talked to my friends, and yet people just acted condescending and went all "if you cant handle criticism then leave :/".

what the fuck is wrong with you people? why is it that this fandom actively defaults to harassment and using ccs against fans when an issue arises? and i fucking hate that this is my first goddamn actual interaction with aeduo fans. im genuinely terrified of aeduo fans now if this is how they react to problems. fuck everyone who talked about me behind my back, fuck everyone who acted condescending towards me, fuck everyone who called me arophobic or anti-polyam or whatever the hell they had up their sleeves, fuck every single grown ass adult who saw a teenager have a fucking breakdown over the shit they did and said and decided to continue. fuck everyone who didnt even bother to have a goddamn level conversation with me before insulting me and attempting to tell others that im arophobic and other shit like that.

this shit happened because of two paragraphs. i said two goddamn paragraphs about a personal issue with the fandom i had and now ive genuinely been pushed almost to the point of relapsing. i dont give a shit if people think i have a victim complex, i just want people to leave. me. alone. its the fucking least you could do. oh, and go fuck yourself. if you genuinely thought id be apologizing after that shit, fuck you. i shouldnt have to be the better person with this shit, i shouldnt be pushed to choking on my own fucking tears because people wont let it fucking be. im not goddamn apologizing after three days of getting insulted and harassed and talked about behind my back for a fucking shipping issue. piss off.

[dunkalfredo]

Due to all the Infinite/Gadget stuff I been seeing lately, I was wondering what made you ship those two together? I'm not complaining! In fact, I'm loving the stuff people are coming up between them. (Also your stories/ideas for them makes me love them even more).

well uhhhhh in terms of what specific content (fanart/fic/video/etc) got me into it aslknjsklnjkaslnkj god i dont even remember. i DO remember the theory video that segascourge did and how that drew in a lot of other people, but honestly i dont think i got into it till a while after that. even then, it started super platonic and only added in some romantic elements later. (i think ultimately for me it started from something to do with this scarf imagine that led to some fanart and this fic before eventually i wrote something)

in the more general terms of ‘what draws me to it,’ there’s so much that i can do with their scenario, from both emotional and storytelling standpoints, and it’s been a huge creative boom for me. it’s the most ive drawn and written outside of askinfiniteofficial since camp nanowrimo this summer (yeah i ended up drawing a lot during nano lol gdi me i had ONE job.) even if (and let’s be real, when, bc im not getting my hopes up just to be crushed lol) the theory of infinite and the cc knowing each other pre-forces is debunked, i have so much ground to cover with them, literally bc this one scenario has me brainstorming and coming up with new ideas constantly. it feels so good to be productive, especially since im fresh outta school and am in this weird liminal space before entering college next fall. i have other things im doing irl but having this space for a creative outlet at home has been doing wonders for my mental health and general wellbeing

like im sure in a few months ill have moved on to other things but for now im super pleased to be writing and drawing so well, even tho it’s mostly really niche content. ive improved so much in both written and visual mediums over the year and those skills have been shining in my recent work.

sorry for the long answer lmaooo im really happy ur enjoying the content tho!!!!! and aslkjndjsklnskjlsjd tysm that means a lot to me

(OKAY WARNING FOR SPOILERS BUT UHHHHH real talk that one line from Infinite in the trailer released today has me just a wee bit concerned about the implications of writing these two romantically involved but ive also seen multiple translations of that line and they all vary. soooooooo we’ll just have to wait n see.)
