**Shots of the Episode**

Shadow and Bone (2021)

Season 2, Episode 6: “Ni Weh Sesh (I Have No Heart)” (2023) Director: Karen Gaviola Cinematographer: Petra Korner

[jetra4ivor]

Am I the only one who’s not really excited for this?

For starters I’m always apprehensive when fans decide they know better than professional creators at rewriting stories, because in my experience that is not always the case at all.

Two, I don’t like the new outfits, especially for male Jessie. He looks so bland now.

Three, I don’t like that they’re adding new mobs and locations.

Four, probably the biggest one… how are they going to handle the voice actors? One of the most iconic thing about MCSM is the voice cast. No amount of rewriting or remaking is going to make this work if the voice cast isn’t done right. And if they’re all unknowns or fellow kids… it’s gonna be soooo cringy.

Fifth, I know this is meant as a teaser, but I do not like how action heavy it is.

Sixth… no female Jessie, which means no Jessie x Petra.

I like it when fans make like short videos or memes or remake scenes in different animation styles, but this feels WAY too different from the original game, and the lighting looks way too modern too. It doesn’t feel like MCSM to me.

But everyone around me is going bonkers for it and I just can’t help but feel the odd one out here. I don’t have faith in it being better than the original games, and I don’t like how much they’re changing.

Stellivia Headcanons no way 😱

What does one do when they’re bored? Why create a new rarepair to get obsessed with of course!

*clears throat and grabs notes*

Olivia first found out about Stella when the twins and Petra were talking about the ‘new city’ that was being built in front of them. She was amazed by how cool the city looked so she decided to go and visit it.

Stella already knew about Liv because I mean she was part of the heroes that saved the world from the Witherstorm. Stella really wanted to be like the New Order (especially like Petra ofc)

Olivia was already in love when she met Stella. She loved Petra. Unfortunately for her, Petra was already in love with Jessica (f!Jesse). So Liv knew she had no chance.

They both started to sprout love between each other and became girlfriends shortly before season 2 began. Liv only told one specific person abt their relationship. (Guess who it was y’all)

Stella was in ‘love’ with Romeo and also sorta with Xara, until of course he fucking blew up her city and all that love went away immediately.

When that happened, Olivia literally went towards ‘Jessie’ (admin) and started yelling at her about why the fuck she would do that to Stella. She also said that she didn’t care that Jessie was her bestie, she wouldn’t let her hurt her girlfriend.

^That’s how the rest of the gang found out Olivia and Stella were gfs. Axel already knew it tho

After the admin was defeated, Olivia helped Stella rebuild Champion City

The entire group supports the two girlfriends 😄 Although Petra is still lacking a bit of trust towards Stella, she is glad Liv managed to find a girlfriend that does love her back.

Stella sometimes calls Olivia ‘Olive’ just to piss her tf off

They both compliment each other’s hair!!! They’re curly hair x straight hair

Olivia is an asexual biromantic with a preference over girls while Stella is a lesbian

Not really related but Lluna is so done with her owner loving every woman ever I mean it was Petra Xara Binta and now Olivia

Idk exactly how to finish this oof so have this

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Lukas x Jessie or is it old man yaoi?

yep thats them! I saw rtgames playthrough of the witherstorm arc and i saw that Lukas was oddly nice to Jesse specifically instead of Jesse AND Olivia for some reason and despite only mean options being chosen it took quite a long time for Lukas to actually start being mean back to Jesse. so i think hes got a crush on jesse. bi king.

Also a big fan of the idea Soren and Ivor were exes

Oh and even tho they dont interact much, I feel like Petra and Olivia would be cute together

2022's List

[too-much-otome]

Asmodeus Playlist

Link

These can be for the original game or NB. most of them fit for both. I've had the playlists for a while but recently refined them. I hope you like them!

Explanations (Excluding Character Songs):

I Am The Best - 2NE1

You already know why this is here. We love our confident king!

S&M Remix - Rihanna, Britney Spears

This is also already obvious. There's no way he hasn't at least dabbled in BDSM. I mean we're talking about the Avatar of Lust, c'mon.

Body - Loud Luxury, Brando

This is a bit more mellow than the rest of the playlist but I think it still fits in. It's a bit suggestive but subtle which as much as we connect Asmo with Lust he's really not THAT forward about it... usually.

All the Rage - Allie X

All about owning the spotlight and being the center of attention. Very much our boy! He loves being admired and loved. He's always looking for more attention and to steal the show.

I Don't Want It At All - Kim Petras

Materialistic and spoiled. As much as I love Asmo this is extremely like him. Wanting designer clothes and all of your attention. It's him. It's just him.

Glamorous - Fergie, Ludacris

There's some lyrics in here about being a little more humble but I still think this is a good fit. The sound very much gives off his vibes and he does enjoy the finer things they talk about in the song. He is in fact also very glamorous.

F**kin' Perfect - P!nk

As much as he loves himself, he (like all the brothers) is a huge MC supporter. Especially in texts he's always very uplifting to MC and trying to squash their insecurities, making sure they practice self care, and expressing his admiration for them. He's very very loving towards MC. #1 Self love advocate and I love him!

Filter - BTS (Jimin)

Okay, hear me out...while this is kinda for me, because I've always thought Asmo and Jimin are similar, I think it fits his personality. The song is about changing to please others. While its not exactly like Asmo to do that I do think he'd be someone who'd fall into a spiral of trying to please everyone if it gets him praise and I can see that maybe being something that happened in the past.

Scream - USHER

Okay, back to being an absolute hoe. This is just sex in a song. I won't apologize. Fight me.

Good As Hell - Lizzo

Another self love song! I can see this being what Asmo might be like trying to comfort or hype up MC. He'd absolutely be like this and you can't change my mind!

Looking at Me - Sabrina Carpenter

Attention is always always on him. It's inevitable, everywhere he goes, heads turn. This is nothing new. We all know this.

FASHION - Britney Manson

Okay! Now this is here for obvious reasons but HEAR ME OUT!!! It kinda sounds like Asmo. I can so easily hear/see him singing this song. It just sounds like his voice.

IT GIRL - Aliyah's Interlude

He's that bitch and he knows it.

Applause - Lady Gaga

He loves the applause. Loves being everyone's favorite and being the center of attention. He thrives in the spotlight.

ZOOM - Jessi

This boy is attached to his phone. He is always taking pictures, making videos, posting on social media, etc.

That's My Girl - Fifth Harmony

Another empowerment song. You know he's the first one to launch into praise and gush over anyone, especially MC.

[amnesiaskulls]

introduction post ig

hello tumblr

My name is amnesia! I use she/they pronouns but I don’t really care if you use one more then the other

I’m aroace and a minor, so please dont do anything weird (dont in general) im uncomfortable with any sort of jokes like that unless you are one of my close friends, and only one of them has tumblr, so you (yes you!) are NOT included in the group that are able to make jokes directed at me about sexual things, and especially butt jokes or making weird comments about my art.

PLEASE DO NOT DM ME UNLESS WE ARE MUTUALS! I HATE TALKING TO PEOPLE I DONT KNOW BUT IF MY ASKS ARE OPEN PLEASE ASK AWAY!! DO NOT TRACE, REPOST ON OTHER PLATFORMS, OR STEAL MY ART. Reblogging is fine because i love it when you do that (please reblog!) but DO NOT USE MY ART IN ANY OTHER WAY WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

now that those boundaries are out of the way, more about me!

I am an artist and I love to draw anything on my mind atm, but I usually only post finished pieces to my tumblr page!

some things im interested in right now are

Mystreet/mcd (more mystreet) because i watched it when it came out and it has a huge nostalgia factor for me, and i love headcannoning them!

mcsm- mostly casual, kinda fades in and out, not as ravaging on my brain as the aphverse

SPLATOON!! I love splatoon sm! I became a fan at 3’s release and im so sad final fest is soon but also so excited!

Anything after this is mostly rant stuff and headcannons so read at your own risk ig?

My favorite characters are aplenty so they get their own area

Laurance Zvahl, Garroth Ro’meave, Katelyn, Lukas, FRYE AND PEARL RAGGH!!, Artificer rainworld, Lolbit fnaf, and oh so many more because “i love exploring humans complex emotions!” -slmccl

Ships! I care a lot about how they interact but because of my stupid little ace mind (mine specifically, I know many ace people that don’t struggle with this) I suck at like thinking about kissing because I hate the notion of kissing unless its a joke or important

Garrance, Melcinda, Zana, Danvis(mostly platonic), Travlyn, gay Jesskas, lesbian petra x jessie, pearlina, artihunter(mostly crack but i love doomed yuri sm) (thats one thing about me is i love doomed ships or thinking about ships like laurgene as exes because it lets me add more anger and other feeling to my headcannons)(like garrance mdc “in another universe” because they just dont go as well together in mcd as myst)

This has become kind of a rant but this is my blog and I do whatever I want so whatever

Music I like!

I have a very vast music taste other then most country, and can listen to most songs! Some artists I enjoy are:

Will Wood (plus tapeworms), Kiltro, Old glass animals like zaba and most of htbahb, the crane wives, fiabc, IDKHOW, and a lot others!

okay thats enough info for a stranger on the internet, have a wonderful day!

[enden-agolor]

Okay how do you feel about this- A MCSM x Wynncraft AU! If you don’t know; Wynncraft is a fantasy massively multiplayer online rpg game Minecraft server. It has classes, quest, and all sorts of other things. The classes are Archer, Warrior, Mage, Assassin, and Shaman. I think Jessie & Petra would be a warrior apart of the warrior class but unsure about the rest of them

Also, yes, there would be a lot of Jesskas & it would be super very gay.

I've never heard of it, but it honestly gives me Minecraft Dungeons vibes? Which is another thing I've aaalways wanted to touch on with MCSM characters like building role and item sets for the them. It sounds really interesting! I'll have to take a look into it. 😁

Reading the (Visual) Rainbow 101

Lesson 8 - Recap

Because I get so many asks about colors, I decided the best way to celebrate Pride is to educate anyone who is interested in how to better Read the (Visual) Rainbow and simultaneously allow myself to appreciate queer media.

Well, we have finally reached the end of these lessons, and now it's time to review what we have learned. But before we begin, I want to thank the thirty-some-odd people who showed up twice a week. You're cool kids, and I appreciate you. Hopefully, you learned a thing or two, and if not, at least I provided something nice to look at.

Let the recap begin!

Lesson 1 - Visual Rhetoric [Rainbow]

In the first lesson, we learned the basics of rhetoric, which is the art of persuasion. To figure out what the media (text, show, film) wants to persuade us of, we must look at the rhetorical situation such as who is the creator, who is the intended audience, what is the purpose of the piece, what is the argument, and what is the tone, as well as other points. We must also figure out which rhetorical appeals the creator is using to persuade us: our emotions (pathos), with logic (logos), or through credibility (ethos).

Much like the first lesson where we applied these concepts to Eugene Lee Yang colorful "I'm Gay" video, we are going to walk through all of these lessons for Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's "Industry Baby" music video to see how much knowledge we gathered through our time reading the visual rainbow.

Lesson 2 - Colors [Red]

We stepped into the red for our second lesson with Jessie Ware's "Free Yourself," Sam Smith & Kim Petras's "Unholy," and Troye Sivan's "My, My, My" and learned about colors. We covered the basics of color theory, color psychology, and color symbolism. Color theory looked at ways we can combine and mix colors for different visual situations by using hues, tints, shades, and tones, while color psychology taught us how colors are connected to humans' emotions and behavior. We used both to see how colors are used as symbols which is known as color symbolism.

Applying this lesson to our example video, we notice mainly pink with some red and purple tints (blended with white) mixed in.

Using color theory, we know the lighting is brighter and they are more warm colors. Color psychology tells us that these are happier hues and normally associated with femininity. The symbolic value of the colors could be establishing the lighter tone of the video and possibly commenting on gender and masculinity.

Lesson 3 - Other Visuals [Orange]

The third lesson moved into the orange with George Michael's "Freedom" and Hayley Kiyoko's "She" to examine how objects provide metaphor, metonymy, and meaning. For example, clothing, posters, signs, and books can all provide additional information about the piece's purpose as well as represent a larger abstract idea.

In the example video, we notice Lil Nas X in his jail cell polishing his Grammy Awards for "Old Town Road", fixing his framed multi-platinum record for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)", and walking past a poster for his 2021 performance at the BET Awards.

We should note that all of these objects were points of controversy in the rapper's career. "Old Town Road" was removed from country lists for not being country enough, which prompted multi-platinum country singer Billy Ray Cyrus to join the song. The song ended up wining several awards including two Grammy Awards and was nominated for Best Record of the Year. His music video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" titled after himself and the queer film of the same name caused a ruckus due to its explicit queer themes which some believed to be harmful messages. His performance at the 2021 Awards caused the same issues due to his on-stage kiss with one of his male dancers.

Once again, all deal with controversy regarding the rapper's queerness and societal norms/labels, so the music video is making a statement about these concepts. The title of the song is also stylized in all caps ("INDUSTRY BABY") as if shouting the artists are new generation of show business.

Lesson 4 - Barriers & Boundaries [Yellow]

For the third lesson, we danced in yellow with Silvy in "Queen" and Joel Corry x MNEK in "Head & Heart" to see how external barriers and boundaries are shown to demonstrate internal emotional disconnect between characters. An object between two characters, different background colors, lines on windows, doors, bridges, and much more could serve as visual barriers. People could even be a barrier between characters. We also looked at how other objects can serve as boundaries such as bars showing oppression, and levels and steps demonstrating power dynamics.

Because the example video is located in a prison, we see plenty of bars.

Yet strangely enough, the rapper nor his collaborator, Jack Harlow, are kept behind them. If they are shown behind bars, the doors are open, they are walking around them, or the gates are opening. As much as people want to oppress them, the men are free to walk and dance around as they please, and aren't at odds with each other since there are no barriers between them.

Lesson 5 - Group Effort (Go Team Go!) [Rainbow]

For the fifth lesson, we had to call on some rainbow friends in The Internet's "Come Over," Bob the Drag Queen's "Gay Barz," Saucy Santana x Latto's "Booty," and Scissor Sisters' "She's My Man" to see how a group of people helps the leads reinforce the story's purpose. If each character has their own color, it shows that a group effort is needed to accomplish the goal. If a main character wears the same color as the rest of the characters, he belongs to the group. But if the lead is wearing a different color than all the rest of the characters, he is independent from the group or being ostracized. If the two main characters are wearing light and dark clothing, the story might be about balance.

The rapper and his accomplice both wear the pink prison uniforms, so they fit in with the entire group. However, both the rappers take off their shirts to distinguish that they are different from the rest who remain fully clothed.

The only outliers to the group are the prison guards who wear black uniforms. However, it is shown that both prison guards lust after the leads and are depicted as the repressed characters contained to single rooms, while the pink prisoners are more sexually and physically free.

Lesson 6 - Cultural Awareness [Green & Blue]

The sixth lesson required we sit in the green and blue to gain cultural literacy as we viewed Avicii's "Silhouettes" and Bad Bunny's "Yo Perreo Sola." We had to understand that in order to learn about some of the visuals we were seeing, we had to understand the culture from which they came, and we had to move away from ethnocentrism which is assessing other cultures based on our own culture's expectations.

Although the video is American, which most of us are culturally included it, the video has several American, Black, and queer culturally references.

The video begins with Lil Nas X being sent to prison for essentially the crime of being gay, but the case alludes to his real life legal issues with Nike after releasing a "Satan Shoe" even though the company had no issue with the previous released "Jesus Shoe." The obvious references are to the films Escape from Alcatraz and The Shawshank Redemption which both deal with (innocent) men being sent to prison and being treated unfairly. The video also includes Colton Haynes, an actor in the very popular Teen Wolf and Arrow, who was forced to go back into the closet due to Hollywood's expectations of action stars.

Lesson 7 - It Could All Mean Nothing [Purple & Pink]

Finally, we landed in the purple and pink and learned about the use of literary criticism and critical media studies, so we could find the best ways to analyze media such as Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain on Me" video. We had to come to terms with the fact that some visuals don't enhance the narrative, but we also recognized that although they don't matter to the story, they still provide information about the rhetorical situation.

The example video features mostly black men in the prison which is reflective of America's disproportionate and unjust incarceration rate of Black men. The rapper had previously made comments about the Black community's denial of homosexuality after his 2021 BET Awards performance, so the open displays of Black queerness were a cultural note as well, but don't necessarily shape the video's purpose.

Jack Harlow wears a KY necklace but that merely tells us he is from Kentucky, while Lil Nas X receives a book about aligning his chakras with a secret tool hidden in it. The book could be symbolic of him restoring balance, but it doesn't hinder the narrative if we don't understand it.

Lesson 8 - Recap: A Full Circle! [Pink -> Red]

In this lesson, we ended where we began - dissecting a video from an openly queer artist for its visual rhetoric as we move through the colors of the rainbow.

Gathering all of our elements, we can come to the conclusion that the rapper's message was one about not conforming to the music industry's standards regardless of the punishment, mostly in regards to queerness. That message was explicit, but the minor visuals we noticed along the way reinforced this message.

Because that's what visual do.

So if you learned anything from these lessons, let it be that visuals support the narrative so we can have a better understanding of the overall message.

Now be free on this hellsite!

Happy Pride!

All the video examples were by queer artists or focused on queer themes, and all the visual examples came from various countries' BLs. If you have any videos or visuals you know that include examples of the concepts covered in these lessons, please feel free to share them with me, so I can add them to my always-growing collection.

Once again, I greatly appreciate everyone who showed up for this journey through visual rhetoric and queer media, and my parting gift on this last day of Pride is one final activity.

Activity

To celebrate our four-week educational adventure coming to a close, I would like you to watch Tegan and Sara's "Closer" and simply enjoy it.

**Shots of the Episode**

Shadow and Bone (2021)

Season 2, Episode 1: “No Shelter But Me” (2023) Director: Bola Ogun Cinematographer: Petra Korner

[jetra4ivor]

Did something happen with the MCSM fandom? It’s been relatively dead for years now and then suddenly BOOM! Huge influx of Jessie x Petra fanart all over tumblr!

I’m definitely not complaining, I’m just curious where it’s all coming from. Did something happen over on TikTok or something?

[capsyst]

Part 1

I am going to start a new 6 second animation, and since I know working with Dreams has been frustrating for some people, I thought this time we could go through it step by step. I’ll be posting updates as we proceed through it from start to finish!

Before we begin there’s a couple things I need to elaborate on. For starters I am not going to do everything in Dreams. I’ve made it very clear numerous times that I regard Dreams as a tool to composite all the elements together on a timeline, not as an animation app to draw in. I’ll be working primarily in Procreate to do the animation part, and we’ll move on to Dreams closer to the end. In this way I hope to help show the animation pipeline that I think works best in Procreate and Dream’s favor.

Every animation needs a baseline to work from. So I found a 6 second audio clip from Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 that featured Petra saving Jessie from a creeper. It sounds dynamic, I like the voice actress, it’s short, and I think it will look really cute when I finish it. Plus I just like Minecraft.

Every animation also needs baseline rules to work from too. I’ll be doing my animation in 24fps, because that’s the industry standard. My screen resolution will be 1920 x 1080. These are the basic settings I usually work from.

The next step for me is to time out the dialogue and sound effects on a dope sheet. I’ll go more into that when I get there.

And lastly I need an art style for the project to pull from. It would be maddening to try and hand draw blocky characters with pixel art faces, so I’m gonna try to emulate someone else’s art style for this project. When you work in 2D animation you have to be able to adjust your art style for whatever project you’re working on. Being artistically flexible is important!

So that’s where we’ll begin! I’ll keep you all updated as I proceed!

ive spend the past few days solving 3 x 3 cube after watching a solution for it because i don't do math but i had a skill of memorizing stuff so the color patterns and where they need to be helped a lot!

also it gives me little silly hcs of jestellra solving this wheezes

putting it under readmore bc im embarrassed and i like to think about silly hcs for a silly fictional polycube ship-

Jessie

They may know the basic stuff when it came to redstone (thanks olivia!), they're more familiar with improvising where to go, so to solve it... they would've rely on the colors and where the rotation goes to, and then it will click for them. this applied to the fact that jessie had regularely always think on their feet, they knew what to go especially when they don't have a plan. especially the fact that sometimes first try does well, and that's what they did with the cube!

Stella

Absolutely knew her redstone stuff, and honestly knew her way with it, she's a builder at heart. and because she apparently knew how to use a mob spawn trick according to the cut script lmao- she just don't admit that she can and try to play off like she's dumb to use it. and says its a dumb game for dumb people. (however secretly she does love the game. she does it at home, because no one except her partners judged her harshly bc thats how stella is and she is likely the one who introduced her partners to this cube)

Petra

HATES it. hates it so much!!! it frustrated her!!!!! throws that damn cube on the floor with frustration and very stubborn not to look up. she knew she Could Do it but hates that she can't. (Ties with how she still have the constant feeling of being useless time to time so!!!) but after a while, like a really long while because she is that stubborn, finally gave in and ask for hints. Only able to solve it once Jessie points out the colors trick and that's how Petra figured it out! through, while Jessie can easily do it once it clicked, Petra have to spend a few times to memorize the way it goes- she may knew how to use Jack's internal compass, and every single item she knew because she had traveled or knew Nurm's language or everything a Adventurer does... math isn't her thing after all.
