#mianite season -1

[apollos-boyfriend]

mianite as that one multilayered meme where on the surface it's "come closer we are a normal mcrp" but underneath that is "the world is not black and white. no one is inherently good nor evil, but stand in a moral grayness, and that complex messiness of ideologies is what makes us human" but underneath THAT is "love is stronger than any other universal force/constant" and underneath THAT ONE is "do drugs and have gay sex"

tom in a (season 1 centric) timeloop

thank youuu!

When I tell you that I've had an idea similar to this floating in my head for ages, let me tell you that unironically I have a whole lore for it. (Granted, it uses some of my more out-there Mianite headcanon and background lore for characters, so it'd get revised to be less ooc for the characters if I ever DID write that plot bunny. My similar thought centers on the idea of the crew coming out of the void post-s2 and getting stuck in the entire s1 plot again, except 1) the s2 crew is there and 2) no one seems to remember doing any of this before except for some brief deja-vu moments. The main POV would follow the s2 crew and the main plot twist would be the fact that Tom DOES remember what happened and has the powers of Dianite, but is trying his best to keep the events all together and maybe, possibly, save his Dianite. The ending is a secret tho)

Onto the fic

----

Tom felt the strain burn into his upper back. He was never the best archer- that solidly went to Jordan and his goddess' personal preference for bows- but at this close of distance and how big Dianite was, he knew his aim would be true.

He was conflicted.

Yeah, Dianite disowned him. Sure, he was acting absolutely batshit insane, trying to kill his own sister and fellow goddess. And yeah, Tom had decided he'd side with his friends, but a few swings against his god were nothing in the grand scheme of things. What was significant, however, was how worn Dianite was beginning to look. For all his godly might, Dianite had been deteriorating for months. Tom couldn't figure out why and any attempt at getting answers was met with harsh rebuttal, and by the time he started to get an inkling of what might be going down Furia had decided to start shit.

Looking at Dianite now, you wouldn't think he was a god. Maybe a tough, angry red demon, but a god? No, he was far too battered and bruised to attest to such divine birthright. Even as he expertly parried a strike from Tucker and ducked an arrow sent by Jordan, Dianite just barely managed to escape Sonja's quick slash with a shallow scratch. He was slowing down. Even more so after the crystal atop the pillar at the center of their arena had been broken.

Tom tracked the fight with his eyes, barely moving a muscle beyond the subtle shake of his arms. His bow was redied, his shot clear. Just a quick release of the tension built in his fingers and his arrow would hit home. Dianite's back was turned to him.

Why was he hesitating?

The wait was maddening. How much longer could he hold this position? How much longer until someone got the upper hand- who would it be? Would he be able to stand seeing his god cutting down one of his friends, so soon after Capsize's death? Would he be able to handle seeing his friends cut down his god, the very one that had taken him in, bloodied and bleeding and freshly pulled from the grave?

The choice was taken from him.

He didn't realize until the arrow was already in the air, too focused on the sudden chill that had taken into his fingers. Tom glanced at his hand in bewilderment, seeing the ghost of a dark energy- or was it a deep purple?- before his head snapped back up to Dianite.

To the arrow lodged in his back.

Dianite stumbled, sword clattering to the ground. Tucker and Jordan had stepped back, both with their swords still raised, and Sonja had an arrow knocked in the background, all of them clearly ready for some new power to burst forth.

Instead, Dianite's head turned towards Tom, eyes eerily blank.

They stared at one another as Dianite fell down to one knee, then both. A frown marred his face- not a sneer but something more confused. His eyes fell to Tom's hand that still prickled with cold like he'd just dunked them in arctic waters.

Tom's chest twisted like it was reading its own arrow.

"No." Dianite's eyes found his again. "Not like this."

Stuck in the god's gaze, Tom watched as a shadow seemed to lift from Dianite's eyes like he was gaining clarity. He seemed to wrestle with himself, teeth grit in determination and Tom wondered if he was going to strike him down for the betrayal.

But was it betrayal when Dianite had turned his back to him first?

Instead, Dianite gave a sigh, setting a soft look upon Tom. "Not for you."

Before Tom could react, before he could draw a breath, pain erupted behind his eyes. The world was swallowed in a blinding light- white, at first, then turning a deep, blood red, before fading to black.

Oh, Tom mused, he really did strike me down.

With that thought, Tom blanked out.

---

In a shocking turn of events, Tom came to with a stuttering gasp. His eyes flew open only to burn with the sudden onset of light. He squeezed them closed, hand flying up to protect his eyes. The sound of waves beat at his pounding head.

A groan sounded from afar. It wasn't himself, for he could scarcely manage a wheeze. There was a shuffling of sand, shoes crunching shakily on the uneasy surface.

Sand?

Gods know Tom wasn't the smartest, but after getting blasted by godly power and surely being killed so thoroughly he wasn't likely to get revived a second time didn't put him anywhere near sand.

He peeked an eye open from beneath his fingers as his mind fried itself trying to connect dots.

Smited by Dianite + horrible pain = brain exploded?

Brain exploded + waking up in pain = died and sent to hell?

From what Tom knew about the Nether, sand wasn't out of the question, perse, but it was usually accompanied by the screams and moans of the dead.

Wait, did his soul get sucked up by some soul sand?

As he tried to figure out the logistics of how souls even got stuck in sand, a voice caught his attention, "You alive over there?"

When Tom didn't reply, because surely they weren't talking to him, the crunching of sand got closer and there was a nudge at his side.

Startled, Tom dropped the hand from his face, squinting through the sudden pain and onslaught of light to see a man standing above him. As his eyes focused, the face because clear.

"Tucker?" Tom's brain tried to reboot, not comprehending why his best friend was also here. "Don't tell me you died too?"

Instead of a snarky remark, Tucker gave him a suspicious frown. "How do you know my name? Who are you? No, wait, what do you mean died? Is this the afterlife?"

The questions hurt caused Tom's brain to lag, trying to process the absolutely absurd shit coming out of Tucker's mouth. This was too much for him, honestly, between his brain getting exploded and waking up to his soul getting eaten by soul sand and- wait.

Tom sat up suddenly, head pounding at the movement. He was on a beach. There was a clear blue sky around him and a lack of sweltering heat. Either he was not in the Nether, or the process of getting his soul eaten by fucking sand made him hallucinate.

Rather than answering Tucker's questions, he swivled his head from side to side. He was on a beach, a hill stretching out behind him and leading to a solitary acacia tree. The dry looking grass was familiar, like the savannah grass their homes were all built on top of. If he squinted, he could imagine that mountain off to his side being where Tucker and Sonja's castle home was, and opposite of that he could almost visualize Jerry's Tree.

Tom frowned, looking up at the bewildered and agitated Tucker.

"I'm Tom, dumbass. Don't tell me that dying made you forget me?"

Tucker huffed. "Like I'd be able to forget a talking zombie. I'm pretty sure we've never met."

Despite his confusion, Tucker offered Tom a hand like it was second nature. He took it gingerly, eying his friend warily.

"Sure," Tom muttered, the gears in his brain clicking together like an abandoned machine that needed maintenance five years ago. "Doesn't this place look familiar?"

"Not at all. Don't think I've ever been to, what, a savannah? At least, that's what it looks like. Dry grass and all." Tucker frowned at the stalks coming up to his waist, twisting the top and watching it break under his fingers.

Tom didn't respond, instead opting to climb the hill to get a better lay of the land. There was a mutter from Tucker behind him and the sound of footsteps following him. When Tom reached the top he felt his abused brain step into overdrive.

This place looked familiar for sure. Three mountains surrounded the savannah plain, with a river cutting through it. If he squinted at the one on his left, he could almost see was looked like an incomplete version of Dec's house. To the right, he could imagine the Dianite head statue his friends had made, leading into what would be the Forest of the Abyss.

It wasn't until a flash of red caught his eye that Tom truly felt his mind break.

There was Dec, in his usual ragged get-up, waving in that same carefree way he always did. But instead of making some comment about how Tom looks like he lost a fight with a sand castle, or how Tucker looked like a half-drowned rat, he greeted them.

"Welcome! I haven't seen you all around before. What brings you folk out here to our lovely realm of Mianite?" Dec grinned at them, offering a hand to shake.

Tucker stepped forward to introduce himself, but Tom just stared at Declan.

This was almost exactly how his first day in the realm had gone. He'd washed ashore, met Tucker, and got the run down from Dec. Hell, if things continued he could easily imagine how Tucker and he would start gathering wood and trying to set up a base at the top of that stupid mountain Tucker had tried to push him off of as a joke.

No.

No, there was no fucking way.

Dianite had killed him.

But ghosts didn't feel pain. He'd asked Capsize and she told him as much. His head throbbed with the ache of getting smitted.

They couldn't feel temperature, but the heat of the plains was already seeping into his suit jacket.

Most of all, they didn't have a heart beat, and Tom could feel his barely there, defunct heart slowly but surely beating in his chest.

Something had went royally fucking wrong.

----

Okay, I could probably continue this, in fact I have a vague idea for how Tom's character arc would go for this and I 100% know how I would end it. If you want more, I can keep going, but I'd either need to separate it into it's own post or do a little planning to get the idea more concrete. Because this is honestly a banger ass plot bunny.

Thanks for the prompt!!

[andorconway]

OKAY so I made a playlist of every video that has major lore importance from Jordan's pov in season 1 AND I compiled timestamps for EVERY video for easy consumption

(episodes with the timestamps and context for what happens between episodes under the cut; context is bolded and italicized, stuff in brackets is additional stuff that happens in the episode that is important, but not enough to be in the cut)

1- full episode (26 min)

2- full episode (19 min)

5- 22:55-27:30 (4 min)

8- 12:25-end (6 min)

context: Tom went rogue and started killing everyone senselessly, Nadeshot had shown great interest in joining team Ianite, and Jordan switched to the Sphax texture pack

11- full episode (32 min)

12- full episode (31 min)

context: Jordan moved out of his house and into a secret base so no one could steal his items and kill him repeatedly, and Tucker was given a sword from Mianite called The Blade of Truth

17- full episode (41 min)

context: Tucker and Sonja started construction on a fortress to help defend in the war

19- 3:40-7:45 (3 min)

[at 15:15 Tony Modestep kills Jordan unprompted while invisible and says "1-1" in chat]

context: Jordan helped Tucker and Sonja trap the entrance of their fortress in case of attack, and also mostly moved in

23- 2:40-6:20 (1.5 min)

[Jordan adds a lava trap to the fortress]

context: between e23 and e29 the war fizzles out and basically ends, meanwhile Tom gets a clownfish named Marlin of whom he loves dearly, which Jordan steals and hides under the mianite temple

29- 16:50-end (24 min)

[at 10:50 Declan told everyone to meet him outside his house at noon minecraft time with all of their best items]

context: with the war over Tom built a new house closer to spawn

31- 5:45-13:40 (8 min)

context: now that the war was over they decided to do weekly Purge events (like the movie franchise) in which all theft and murder was completely legal without repercussions

34- 20:30-end (31 min)

[Cronus (the messenger of the shadows) was there as a Purger just hanging out]

context: between episodes 34 and 50 it was decided that everyone would construct a vault to act as their storage system so that during the purge they didn't have to continue to hide chests, and instead would have secure* places to store their items and keep their beds

*people can't break blocks to get in but if they can get in other ways that's legal and encouraged

during that time the build team for hire (the now disbanded FyreUK) showed up as the Wizards, who for a fee (25-100 diamonds) would build anything asked for. Jordan requested Jerry's Tree 2.0 to be built to the right of his house, just off the shoreline.

they built a court house (the quartz house) so that when someone did break the rules they could have a fair-ish trial to determine guilt

Tom also moved. again.

50- 13:55-28:35 (15 min)

[Jordan stole the Dianite armor fair and square during the purge]

51- start 15:25 (15 min)

59- 6:30-10:00 (4 min)

context: they have wands (knockback 10 sticks) that when hit with send you flying

60- 13:00-31:00 (18 min)

61- 4:20-50:00 AND 1:12:15-1:13:35 (45 min)

62- 24:10-41:50 (17 min)

67- full episode (47 min)

[this was during a charity stream]

context: they had a massive games arena built and they were playing bow pvp parkour for one of the first times

68- 24:35-end (23 min)

context: everyone got god gifts; Jordan got a beautiful forest around his house, Tucker and Sonja got god armor, and Tom got a ship from Captain Capsize

up until this point Capsize had been flirting with both Jordan and Tom, but things seemed more serious towards Jordan

71- 16:40-end (32 min)

context: between episode 71 and 79 ALL vault theft no matter the time became legal, they were also tasked with building an airship to go to a place called Aethoria to rescue Capsize, with Redbeard supplying materials

79- 11:35-15:50 (4 min)

80- 4:25-end (21 min, somewhat optional, it's mostly building and banter)

context: Skipper then got drunk and crashed the ship, forcing them to make a new one, of which Tom used literally all his remaining diamonds to make diamond wings for

84- 24:20-end (23 min)

85- full episode (1 h 5 min)

[darubyprincx]

Some notes:

No new tags that I saw this month, though as always I could have missed something! As you can see, we already have quite the assortment of canonized tags.

Fics are still primarily in english, but we have three exceptions with significant spanish fics. Karmaland (740 of 842 are in spanish, from 731 last month), Tortillaland (110 of 115 are in spanish, the same as last month), and QSMP (752 of 7,375 are in spanish, from 668 last month.)

QSMP also shows 39 fics in French, up from 30 last month, and 405 in Brasilian Portugese, up from 375 last month. While I did not check every language this month, I checked on the languages I knew had a fic in QSMP and we see 1 fic in ASL (probably a misclick as it appears to be in english), 1 fic in Bahasa Malaysia, 1 fic in German, 1 fic in Esperanto, 1 fic in Filipino, 5 works in European Portugese, 5 fics in Русский (Russian), 1 fic in Suomi (Finnish), 1 fic in Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese), and 3 fics in 中文-普通话 國語 (Mandarin Chinese, I believe), all the same as last month. New is two fics in Polski (Polish), one fic in Svenska (Swedish), and one fic in Dansk (Danish).

In the small and micro fandoms (under 200 fics), some of the most active small fandoms have grown out of this category so we only saw small amounts of growth. The standout fandoms all saw an increase of 6 works, and that was a tie between Content SMP, New Life SMP, and Witchcraft SMP. Note that Content SMP was coming up from only 24 works, so 6 new works is an increase of 25% of the fandom, truly impressive.

In the midsize fandoms (200-1000), Fable SMP has broken that 1000-fic mark and can no longer qualify for our standout fandom! Instead, our most active fandom was Evolution SMP, with 33 new works, followed by Mystreet with 20 fics and Minecraft: Story Mode with 24 fics. Mystreet and Story Mode are both new fandoms so it's unclear whether that's people retagging old work or true new fics.

For the post-canon big fandoms: Empires went up by 178 works, singificantly more than last month's 117, but not beating the previous month's 240, and Dream SMP's increase of 918 beat the previous month's 767, but is still only the second time I've seen this fandom fall under a thousand works plus a month. Hermitcraft is between seasons right now, but still experienced that holiday exchange boost, as its increase of 784 beat both last month's 574 and the previous month's 651. For active fandoms, traffic series posted a staggering 831 fics, which is its highest ever number, beating April 2023's 671 fics. QSMP saw 865 fics, which is part of a three month decline (894 last month, 913 the month before), but still posting numbers that are only exceeded by DSMP.

Overall, the number of fics posted under Video Blogging-RPF (the umbrella fandom that contains all MCYT) is 4,223 fics, a significant increase from last month's 3,489, and the previous month's 4,035, but still exceeded by October's record 4,702. Notably, it's higher than the summer numbers and almost exactly the same as the number we saw last January, 4,235 new works.

MCYT RELIGIOUS GUILT OFF SEMIFINAL 2

SCOTT SMAJOR (EMPIRES SMP SEASON 1) VS CAPTAINSPARKLEZ (MIANITE)

Scott Smajor: "Aeor because man literally killed himself over it :/ even had a prophecy concerning himself and his brother where they had to both either live or die. That definitely fucked him up. Mans committed suicide so that the world would be saved because of The Voices"

CaptainSparklez: "he did everything to prevent (ianite's) death, and yet it wasn’t enough. instead of accepting that there was nothing he could’ve done, that he did all he could, but she was dying from the moment he stepped foot on these lands, and maybe even before then, he still blames himself. he apologizes to her grave for not being enough. he blames himself for her death, for not being enough for his goddess, when he went above and beyond to do everything he could in an attempt to save her"

[redstonedust]

yknow what would a full mcyt pantheon of gods even look like? like off the top of my head we've got:

the goddess of death (kristin/trixtin)

the goddess of harvest/mother of sunflowers (saint pearl)

the great stags aeor and exor (what are they... gods of. girl help.)

some kind of ocean gods on empires season 1

the blood sheep (i dont even know)

god of thunder (disputed) (joel)

hermes (demigod by proxy)

god of the sun (disputed) (bdubs)

god of the dream smp (dreamxd)

foolish (demigod & totem of undying)

the watchers & listeners?

the vault gods?

mianite dianite and ianite (overworld, nether, end)?

fairly sure philza hardcore has some kind of deitys?

dionysus is canon to hermitcraft

and like. surely MUCH more i dont even know about. but theres surprisingly little overlap here so u could totally just mash it together into one lore if you wanted and i think thats got. so much potential.

[rose-icosahedron]

My thoughts on npcs, based on the post style and kind of the lore of the lovely @ingapotejtoo​

I did this project 90% of the way and then lost motivation and i had to finish it to expell the demons that had started living in my brain.​

PROPAGANDA:

Jordan "Captain 'Creeper? Aww man' Sparklez" Maron made up a god in Minecraft back in 2014 and it became everyone's business. She's the goddess of balance and she's done some fucked up stuff before but that's ok.

She has a weed basement and her notable followers besides Mr. CaptainSparklez include a pirate army in season 1, her transgender grandkids in season 2, and 4 arctic foxes in season…negative 1? She's purple. <3

So, I have no idea how well it lines up with canon, but my theory/personal headcanon for Capsize's failed revival is that being killed in Dianite's temple kinda made her a sacrifice to Dianite. At least, she’s close enough to the prayer room when she dies for Dianite to take her soul as if she was a purposeful sacrifice. This puts her soul in an iffy place when it comes to revival, since it means that her soul is in Dianite's control rather than Ianite's.

Now obviously Dianite is dead by the time that Capsize is revived, but Tom almost immediately becomes Mecha Dianite which presumably comes with some power. Tom doesn't quite understand what powers he had and I think when Ianite tries to call Capsize's spirit he subconsciously clings to it, which results in the revival failing. In my own personal headcanon it causes her soul to shatter because of two weakened gods unintentionally fighting over it, but I don't think the ultimate result is more important than her whole soul not making it back into her body, which is why she lacks any control over it when we know sentient undead exist in the Mianite Season 1 World (namely Tom and Rupert the Grey).

Again, I’m not 100% sure how this lines up with canon, but Capsize’s death was lame in canon so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

!!! YOOO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I’m honestly inclined to believe this as canon seein as that we never got any other explanation

It actually lines up with canon pretty well, the idea there can different places a soul goes/is taken possession of in the afterlife, like with Rux!Dia who could be a ghost (I mean that couldve been just a god thing, but im choosing to believe it has to do with this spirt realms difference thing) v. like mc animals that die that all trace of them are gone or like the concept of players being able to respawn after being killed

Im really so interested in the fact that a god takes the possession of the soul of whoever/whatever is sacrified to them, that it sorta implies that maybe if Tom, upon becoming mecha dianite, was the one to revive her, instead of Ianite trying to pull a part of the attached bit away from him (albiet he didnt realize) she might’ve come back more normally? But it really makes so much sense as to why she didnt come back properly if it was Ianite could only get apart of her bc of this fighting thing that happens

If Tom created Dianite to be in opposition to Mianite in season 1, how does Jordan creating Ianite for vengeance against them both make him special?

Some notes

A new fandom this month! Showtime SMP is new, bringing this up to 49 tags that I track.

Fics are still primarily in english, but we have three exceptions with significant spanish fics. Karmaland (750 of 857 are in spanish, from 740 last month), Tortillaland (109 of 115 are in spanish, down from 110 last month), and QSMP (827 of 8104 are in spanish, from 752 last month.)

QSMP also shows 43 fics in French, up from 39 last month, and 452 in Brasilian Portugese, up from 405 last month. While I did not check every language this month, I checked on the languages I knew had a fic in QSMP and we see 1 fic in ASL (probably a misclick as it appears to be in english), 1 fic in Bahasa Malaysia, 1 fic in Dansk (Danish), 1 fic in Deutsch (German), 1 fic in Esperanto, 1 fic in Filipino, 5 works in European Portugese, 2 fics in Polski (Polish), 7 fics in Русский (Russian) (up from 5 last month), 1 fic in Suomi (Finnish), 1 fic in Svenska (Swedish), 1 fic in Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese), and 3 fics in 中文-普通话 國語 (Mandarin Chinese, I believe). While a 한국어 (Korean) speaker was recently added to the QSMP, there are currently no fics in 한글 (written Korean).

In the small and micro-sized fandoms, several of the smaller fandoms posted a decrease, including Legacy SMP, Bear SMP, and Area Unknown. HBG, on the other hand, posted a frankly impressive 16-fic increase, and both New Life and Witchcraft saw a 8-fic increase.

In the mid-sized fandoms, the showstopper was Minecraft Diaries, which went up a staggering 140 fics, which makes me suspect a sub-tag got wrangled into them. Pirates SMP and Outsiders SMP both saw 20 fic increases, and Mystreet saw an increase of 24 fics.

In the post-canon big fandoms, Empires went up by 188 works, which is an increase on both January's 178 and December's 117, but not beating November's 240. Dream SMP's increase of 591 works is the single lowest number I've seen since I've started tracking tags, being exceeded by both January's 918 and December's 767, which were the first months I'd seen the increase being lower than a thousand. 3rd Life, now that we're outside of a season, posted a respectable 558 fics, down from last month's record high of 831.

In the currently airing big fandoms, Hermitcraft saw that new-season boom, as it posted 716 fics, not as high as January's 784 (holiday exchanges), but beating both December and November's 574 and 651. QSMP posted 729 fics this month, which is part of a four-month decline (865 last month, 894 the month before, 913 the month before), but is still the fandom with the single biggest increase over a month. Incidentally, that means that Dream SMP is beat by both Hermitcraft and QSMP this month, and 3rd life is close behind it.

Overall, the number of fics posted under Video Blogging-RPF (the umbrella fandom that contains all MCYT), is 3,513 fics, down from January's 4,223, December's 3,489, and November's 4,035. Incidentally, it's very close to what we saw last year at the same time, as February '23 saw a VB RPF increase of 3,674.
