#minecraft best servers 2021

[lowkeyrobin]

Heyy :) Can you please write headcanons of dating quackity, but in his earlier eras? (like 2019-21 maybe) ❤

ooooo yes of course!!! ; fun fact I've been watching him since 2018 or so (I don't mean this in a "Oh I'm cooler than you way) ; thank you for the request!! this was fun as hell ; I tried to kinda do it in a chronological order but yeah, I did like stuff and then more details of relationship if that makes sense yk???

QUACKITY ; 2019-2021 era

warnings ; language, talk of drugs, jokes about sex

genre ; fluff

word count ; 858

masterlist

Raiding Club Penguin with him and Axel was a core memory for you. It was the first true time, however cringe it sounds, that you saw Alex as your best friend.

he'd always try to make you laugh, especially on stream

such a little tease

back in the olden days, we had those Discord server 'wtf is that food' videos

you guys rank some of them and how likely you'd eat them

also ranking Discord memes

so many of them were dumb shit or weird shipart from like 2015 deviantart LMFAO

"guys I know me and y/n are dating but that doesn't mean compare us to Shrek couples!"

"I thought Thanos was your true love?"

"He-He is! Oh my God, stop being so desperate, y/n. ugh"

once he got invited to the Dream SMP, you were all ears and proudly taught him how to play Minecraft

you made his alt skin with the tuxedo, which he didn't wear often, but used in lore some time later

youd often help him with lore ideas

he also got you invited into the SMP where he introduced you to some of his new friends

you knew schlatt and some others, but most of these people were new and it was nice meeting all of them

the fiances are established and then you and quackity are already a think and you also like karl, which creates a weird love rectangle with an open end because you and sapnap are sharing the other two 💀

lore goes fuckin crazy with that

while Karl's off making Kinoko Kingdom and Quackity's running Las Nevadas, you're building El Tropicana, off in the far away jungle biome

Alex would usually stream and translate Mexican soap operas, which you joined in for sometimes

you'd give the characters different voices and twist their words up a bit to make it more entertaining for chat

the amount of drug talk that went into that was wild

also the amount of queer kids bullied in those schools?? yikes on bikes

also the one with that girl who got in trouble for kissing a boy on the playground or whatever that was?? Jesus christ man

youd both act put the scenes on occasion and use Tiger as whatever kid was being yelled at if she was in the room with you

taking a break halfway through stream for him to play guitar and for you to karaoke to fuckin Bo Burnham

also making fake joints out of paper he had laying around and "lighting them up" aka setting paper on fire next to a PC and your faces

Jackbox streams with the Feral Boys until 3am>>>

Paranormal Activity in the middle of the night went so fucking crazy

teaching Bad how to play GTA is your favorite memory with those two

playing horror games and watching him play horror games with Karl while he visited him

how dare he leave you all alone (you couldn't go because you had a busy schedule)

your chats shipping the hell out of you and your dsmp characters

hella fanart and fanfictions man

try not to laugh streams where you always ended up laughing before the ten minute mark because of him

he purposefully does shit to make you laugh

reading fanfiction on stream was a regular activity especially for y/s/n

youd rank the book on a scale from one to ten and how accurate to real life they were

"nahhhh that one doesn't have enough Thanos, two out of ten"

"yknow what... were gonna have our own tier lists... okay?"

"damnit... does this mean I'm not getting laid later?"

"what"

promoting the quackityhq merch religiously

also stealing whichever beanie he wasn't wearing, either the LAFD one or the plain black and blue one

him tying you to a chair and forcing you to laugh was a common stream plot

tweets that were either very inconspicuous about drugs, very sexual, or very old married couple vibes

youd both be frequently trending on twitter

hot wings or dare streams with Bad >>>>

playing girls go games and hoping you wouldn't give his PC a virus

sitting in the inflatable pool fully clothed, playing with children's bath toys

he'd for sure be the type to fall for his best friend

whether it be all the way back then or just now, he could go forever without feeling any feelings but one day they'll show up and the nervousness begins

he'd lend you a hoodie if you were cold in his room and he just straight up begs you to keep it

lots of just staring at you while chat ships you, like genuinley just zones out on your pretty face

would probably doubt his feelings at first and talk to his mom about it and she's like "boy you have a crush. Go ask them the hell out, you're a handsome young man, I'm pretty sure they like you too"

"mOooOooOoOoM"

genuinley spoils you with no good reason and after a while you just accept it

he starts sending good morning and good night texts

he'll repost (or reblog) (he has a secret tumblr) fanart of you two, especially if it's shipart

will constantly send you clips of movie characters making out or kissing and say "this should be us"

[alittledizzy]

this a big ask and feel free to ignore but you seem like the right person to come to.

can you give like a dnf overview for those of us who know almost nothing but are sooo curious (minecraft? face reveal? queer?)(i follow for dnp lol)

Okay so... I'm gonna try and do a bullet point overview and for the purpose of not getting in the weeds I am not going into the controversies. I'll be happy to discuss that part - OFF anon.

Dream and George met on a Minecraft server when Dream was 16, George was 18/19 and became best friends.

When Dream decided to start youtube when he was 18, he asked George (and Sapnap) to come along with him. They both said yes.

In 2019, George started talking about moving to America. At the time Dream lived with his girlfriend, though they broke up by 2020. (George and the girlfriend did not get along. But that's also a whole other can of worms because she fucked Dream up pretty badly with consistent cheating and verbal/physical abuse.)

Plans for George to move to the US got more concrete and at some point over 2021 became him moving into a house with Dream and Sapnap.

Dream also came out multiple times in this general period of time. He came out in a post on reddit, on twitter, and on a stream. He does not explicitly state that he's bisexual, but he does explicitly state he isn't straight.

Sapnap had already moved in with Dream for Dream's protection since he was being swatted pretty regularly. Dream had plans for a face reveal but people were stalking and harassing him both to 'reveal' him and also because at this point the Kiwi Farms targeted attack on him had gained a lot of steam.

Speaking of: George used face cam pretty regularly, but Dream did not face reveal. Based on things he's said it seems pretty clear he was trying to lose weight but at some point set the goal of face revealing once George was in America because he wanted George to see his face before anyone else.

George applied for his Visa and would have had about a 6-9 month wait, and then was denied. He had to apply a second time, and wait another extended period of time, which put it September 2022 when his visa finally was approved. This means they'd known each other for seven years and he'd been trying to move to the US to live with Dream for three years at that point.

George arrived in the US and Dream posted his first video with a face camera on. George posted a vlog meeting Dream irl for the first time, which is a great starting point for a watch.

In terms of the ship stuff: they've always had a heavily flirtatious relationship and Dream is open about how attractive he finds George. They've acknowledging having a conversation about if they'd date or not.

Once in a while Dream will reiterate that they're not dating, and we know he spent 2023 having a variety of hookups but no confirmed relationships. (Which lines up with his long history of women that flirt with him complaining he'll be great to them and make them feel good but always says he doesn't want a relationship.)

2023 was pretty wild for them in terms of nonstop travel, events, and making very little content besides Dream's music. So far in 2024 we've seen a complete 180 of that and Dream and George have noy traveled at all, staying at home in Orlando together. (Sapnap has traveled and spent time in LA, but alone.)

This is partially due to controversy, I'm sure, but also seems to be just in line with a rededicating of themselves to Minecraft and content impending. They're working on a project that hopefully will come out soon.

Right now in terms of what they've publicly told us, they're just in the category of Super Not Normal About Each Other. Here are a few of the Not Normal things that are just fun from a shippy pov:

Before George moved, they were open about living most of their life on a call together. This includes sleep calling and staying on the phone while taking showers.

One of Dream's early videos was gifting his friends money to thank them for supporting him. He gave Sapnap and another friend $500 each. He gave George $5000.

Dream took 'am I in love with my best friend' quizzes on stream twice with George on the call and neither treated it quite like a joke.

Dream sent George an oversized Dream hoodie which George has worn repeatedly and even admitted to spraying with cologne before he'd put it on. Dream took pictures of George in the hoodie (a private call, not one fans were in on) and then later shared them saying they were the cutest pictures of George ever.

The first time we really got to see them interact irl at length was a stream they did around Christmas. Here's a supercut that just really shows the vibe between them.

Initially in late 2022 Dream was wearing a very specific chain. At some point in January 2023, George started wearing that chain (the specific one Dream used to wear) and has not been spotted without it since.

At one of his concerts Dream described George as a friend he just met a year ago that he's so in love with.

The entire song Spotlight which everyone immediately associated with George, to George's embarrassment and pride.

And there's obviously way more... but I feel like this is a good starter kit for Them.

i think it's so crazy how much the dream smp changed everyone's lives. i mean, i, for one, only joined april 2021 which is when a lot of the main lore started dying down, but i can still look back on it and feel nostalgic. almost two whole years of my life revolved around the lore, the characters, trying to run around at 4am catching streams of them either just building or starting wars with each other (clearly there's no in between) and i can truly say it's one of the best arcs of my life.

watching a bunch of the members get together for the last time to kill the dragon so dream could shut down the server was the most bittersweet feeling i had ever felt. moving from tubbo to tommy to sam to bad and lastly to eret. hearing all their separate goodbyes, with tommy and tubbo watching the sunset while listening to the discs, sam in spectator mode with everyone just flying around looking at all the builds (my favourite part was them discovering old builds probably from 2020/2021 and getting excited about seeing them again after such a long time), bad doing the same and just talking about memories, and eret refusing to log off (even after four hours) ((i'm not gunna lie i was waiting for him to log off so i can safely say that dream was the last to leave the server but he took SO long - i know they were only trying to prolong the stream bc they didn't wanna leave which i understand)) and giving one last full tour of the museum. everyone had the most chaotic reactions to it that it truly ended in the most dream smp fashion.

no matter what ANYONE says, the dream smp lore went fucking hard.

also knowing that dream was the very last person to log off will forever keep the tears in my eyes.

i have so much more to say and i'll probably keep adding to this thread (for my sanity) but for now all i can do is say thank you to the server than genuinely brought happiness to me and everyone else.

thank you dream smp. you will always hold a very special place in my heart. nothing will ever compare to you. you changed the game forever.

so thank you to dream, george, and sapnap for creating this server. special mention to karl and quackity, ofcourse. callahan, punz, bad, tommy, tubbo, sam, ant, and basically every single member of the dream smp. you really went on this silly little minecraft server and changed everyone's lives. for the better.

april 24, 2020 - april 10, 2023

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU DSMP!

Happy birthday king!!

Going to be a bit sappy under the cut

I first found out about Technoblade, like late 2020 early 2021. I had a friend who was into the DreamSMP who introduced me and my sibling to it and it became a really integral part of our friendship. While doing more of my own research I found out about Technoblade's lore, and immediately I was like "That is my favorite character" because he was super fucking cool and still is. An anarchist pig who was able to destroy countries and was also funny as hell? I learned so much about his lore from clips I watched and short videos I could find. I read whatever I could to learn about his character because at the time I didn't have twitch. He easily became my favorite, and I think I take some of my humor from him even today. Later that year the friends I had that were into it all got cosplays from that server, and my first choice was Technoblade (cringe culture is dead btw, I had fun). Expensive as that costume was, it was so cool to get to dress as someone I admired and I had a lot of fun with my friends doing that. I wasn't able to buy merch at the time so when I could I made the keychain that's in the photo above.

When the "so long nerds" video came out, I was on a vacation. It was awkward to explain to the people on the trip why I was crying lmao. I think it took me a few weeks to actually be able to fully watch the video.

I've since retired the Technoblade cosplay, and I didn't make much content of him afterwards because I thought my stuff wouldn't be good enough for someone with such an amazing legacy as him. Though in a minecraft server I was in, we made what we called Technoblade island. People made their own individual graves for him, a giant statue, and we gathered so many pigs that it was glitchy whenever you went over there lol. Even when I made a shitty pig farm in abandoned village church I dedicated it to him.

I've slowly started to realize even if it's not the best, what's the point of just stopping myself from making stuff about someone I admire? I do have a long way to go in art still, but with the technoblade25 event I finally decided why not. Funfact: The outfit for his design is inspired by the cosplay I once did.

Happy birthday Technoblade, Technoblade never dies, and fuck cancer <3

Dream SMP is officially over. And weirdly enough, I’m not crying about it. On the contrary, I have the stupidest grin on my face.

God what an experience. No words can describe the craziness of it all. It was wild. And in a good way.

I started watching Dream SMP with BlueberryTV’s edited videos on YouTube, but the moment it really ticked for me, the moment that made me love it was the first Disc War. Seeing TommyInnit and Tubbo hunting Tommy’s discs, fighting Dream, Tommy doing this INSANE block clutch, that’s when I thought “Fuck, this is what everyone’s freaking out about!”. And I started to love it more and more.

Then there was L’Manberg, and GOD this whole arc was one of my favorites with the Exile. This is when I started loving the lore but also the content creators and their characters. This is when I started loving TommyInnit’s content, and now he’s my favorite YouTuber!

This server changed my life. I met people through it that I now consider my best friends, and I have some of the best memories of my life with them.

Dream SMP helped me get through what was probably the hardest part of my teenage years, as 2021 (the year I started watching) was the year I started high school, and I also went through a lot of personal issues that were, honestly, very shit.

I love this server to bits. I loved every single part of it and if I were to do it all again I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Thank you so much to all the fanartists and animators that inspired me and pushed me to become better at my art, and to want to be an animator even more.

Thank you so much to the fanfiction writers who made me cry, laugh, who put a smile on my face with their godly written fics that made me stay up ridiculously late at night just to finish a chapter because the story was just so good.

Thank you Minecraft for just being an amazing game in general.

Thank you so much to all the content creators who put their heart and soul into making the best, most down-to-earth, funniest Minecraft roleplay I have ever seen.

Thank you Tommy, Wilbur, Quackity, Tubbo, Technoblade, Ranboo, Dream, Awesamdude, Eret, Niki, Karl Jacobs, Badboyhalo and everyone else for creating the most amazing stories ever. My hands are literally shaking I can’t write everybody’s name.

Thank you, Dream SMP. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for the tears. Thank you for the memories I will always cherish. Thank you for the indescribable joy you gave me.

Thank you for everything.

It was meant to be.

HELLO TUMBLR PEOPLE,

Since QSMP is all about globalisation and learning about new cultures and countries, I think this is the perfect opportunity to tell people about most known MC RP series from the Netherlands, by assigning characters from the QSMP to kingdoms!

TLDR: The Kingdom (DDG) was a minecraft survival roleplay server. The server was devided into different kingdoms (hence the name) which were ruled and inhabited by A LOT of different Dutch-speaking creators. The first episode launched in 2012 and the series ended around 2021. It played out in a medieval-fantasy type setting with magic, Goblins/orcs/gods/dragons and a lot lot of war. Most kingdoms even had their own national anthem (or multiple).

vv WHO WOULD BE FROM WHERE vv

Recognised by their half black-stained skin, white glowing eyes and their extensive knowledge (and gift) of magic, the Empire was the main villain of the series. After forcefully being locked away in the Nether for decades, the civilisation made their way back to the surface with only one goal, revenge. Now with access to the Empire Wand, they quickly got damn good at it.

BBH - EMPIRE

I see Q!BBH as someone who could've been apart of this group, but having met someone allong the way that made him change his mind about wanting everything to perish. Due to that he had to flee from the Empire, since they would've never accepted him like that.

The only ally of the Empire. Jenava, also known as the desert rats, were violent and opressive people who underwent a ritual to gain the same power as the Empire. They had access to the Scripts of Jenava: documents kept very secretive, containing secrets about kingdoms, magic and curses. (also it's the kingdom with the best songs ngl.).

BAGI (+ tazercraft & Cellbit) - JENAVA

It wasn't uncommon for people (especially women) to attempt to escape from the kingdom of Jenava. The living conditions were terrible, for registered citizen but also for the natives (Kanta Tribo) who's land was forcefully taken (also later a civil war). I think Q!Bagi could've been one of the people who forcefully underwent the Empire ritual before running away to warn other kingdoms about the situation. Further, the kingdom had ownership of the most secure prison of the whole server ("Fort Forland, the prison island") which is a place Pac, Cellbit and Mike would've fit in perfectly.

Elementos, the kingdom of the Gods. In the story, the wife of King David (Eclypsa) passed away due to illness and became a deity, joining elementos. During the war between Entropia (her husbands kingdom) and Firjen, she sided with Firjen and gifted them 'The dragons of Bovisti', making Firjen "The kingdom of dragons".

FOOLISH - ELEMENTOS

Dragons, gods, a little betrayl and siding with the enemy for funsies. Foolish the totem god with a dragon base, Do I need to say more?

FOREVER - FENRIN

A island cursed hundreds of years ago, turning everyone into werewolves during full moons. They tend to keep to themselves. They used to be a part of the kingdom of Ljord, but fled and now peacefully live on their own, away from dragons and war (kinda).

ROIER - ENTROPIA

I don't really have a good reason for putting him here, it's just kinda a vibe.

Ah Entropia, the kingdom of capitalism and talking shit. With king David as their leader together with Queen/God Eclypsa their main stick was trade, being rich and doing wars. The statue of the Entropian Sword could be seen from miles away, imbedded with emeralds and other richments (making it a big eyesore for the powerhungry kingdom of Jenava). The king of this wonderful empire died once by the hands of the king of Firjen and his dragons. He was sent to Elementos to become a god, but refused because he is a little dumb and very stubborn.

With Roier putting stores all over the place and unnessicarily putting his egg in big danger, I think it's a good fit.

TUBBO & AYPIERRE - MALINO

The kingdom of goblins and mining. They lived in a gigantic hollowed out mountain, rarely coming up to the surface. They were the only kingdom (that I know about) that had a person assigned for redstone contraptions. Tubbo being the create boy with the gigantic tubhole would do well there in my opinion. Also Pierre (and perhaps Felps) would be a very respected citizen with his extensive knowledge of big holes.

ETOILES - THEROS

I personally know very little about Theros, except that they are known for their assassins and lack of kings/emperors. They dissapeared at some point and got taken over by a different kingdom (Magnos). I wish I could to this man more justice :'(

BAGHERA JONES & SLIMECICLE - ATLA

Probably the strangest of all the kingdoms, and also one of my personal favourites. Atla is a kingdom existing of multiple island, mostly known for worshipping chickens.

Their belief is in the two Chicken-gods Kiip & Kalf, together with the golden egg. Killing and eating chickens is illigal on the island, and the king is ready to start war on anyone who tries (besides that they're quite friendly tho :) ).

The golden egg is.. Well.. a large golden egg. It is believed that any attempt on damaging or stealing the egg will curse the person for eternity, giving them everlasting bad luck. This was evantually proven to be true, when Entropia used it to curse another kingdom (Krax).

I feel like Baghera could be a scholar from the island, perhaps a diplomat who'd travel to different kingdoms to exchange information and perhaps spread the good word.

Further, I see Charlie as one of the people that could pull the chicken=god trope of better than anyone. Also seeing the bad luck he's having on the QSMP, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to take a little nibble of the shiny egg-statue.

I have a lot more people to assign and a lot of kingdoms not mentioned yet (like Kanta Tribo (a native tribe and arch-enemy of Jenava, Firjen, Ljord etc etc.. there were.. So many.). But this would go on for ages and ages so I'll cut it here for now LMAO

I hope you enjoyed this thread and learning something about Dutch youtube culture. It's a series I watched a lot when I was younger, and always seem to stumble back to. It was very well done and to this day one of my favourite things to watch/talk about.

My departure from Mari0.

After 6 and a half years of making mappacks I am officially announcing my plans to depart from making mari0 mappacks, enemies and content within the game (not on the game, we'll get to that)

I'll also still be a part of the community, I'll still be lurking the forums, playing mappacks, moderating and contributing to the discord and not maintaining the fandom wiki :).

The heartfelt guff

I can't start this post without thanking everyone who has been a part of the journey, I truly wouldn't be here without everyone giving support or just playing my mappacks.

Maurice Guegan and Sašo Smolej, for making the game in the first place an above giving me a platform to express myself creatively, doing so for so many other people and fostering a community which I can call nothing but my second home.

Alesan99, for making the mod that I used throughout the years and for being such a funny and caring person, I wish nothing for the best for you now you're stepping away from mari0 AE as well.

Williamfrog, who's been a major help for myself as well as creating the modern mari0 meta with everything he's discovered since 2020, and also being such a good friend. And thanks for kickstarting my love for Terraria, I'll get you to like Minecraft at some point ;).

Skysometric, who fostered the community discord server where I found so many likeminded creators, and where a lot of my motivation came through over the years, it's not always been easy for you and I know that but you've always given 110% even on the bad days and I appreciate that and you.

All of my fellow collaborators for projects like Psnes and Mari0 AECE, Critfish, NH1507, Hexi Hertzgame, Dekainone, BetterDonutGalaxy, and yes, even you too Frazzdude and Mushrunt despite what happened between us.

And above all else, to everyone who has played my mappacks, or used my enemies, or didn't use my characters /j. I truly do appreciate it, it always kept me motivated.

Why have I come to this decision:

Now it's important to realise that this isn't something that I magically decided, and not something I'm going to drop either. This has been a series of thoughts built up since 2021. The short version is work, lack of validation and constant quota changes. The long version are these bullet points:

Work

I've was unemployed for a while, I was meant to leave collage in August 2020 but something really weird happened and all of a sudden I was doing collage from home, for all of 2020 and 2021 I had all the free time in the world but soon things changed and I could (and basically had to) get a job.

I was working 25 hours a week so still had a decent amount of time to work on mappacks, this worked well for me but I was only on a 6 month contract which became 12 months, and finally 18 months. But then mine ran out and I had to find a new job.

I was able to find a new job at a local shop which was good to have but I went down to 12 hours a week which was too little for me, I was also making less. I was also working stupid hours like from 5 AM. It was such a kick to my moral and my output dried out over the 5 months I worked there.

But finally I got a call back from my old workplace looking to bring me back on full time and permanently, with an added wage increase. 37 Hours a week. And that is where I have been since the end of 2023, on 37 hours a week I don't have nearly as much time to work on mari0.

Lack of validation

Being a mari0 creator in 2024 is very niche, if you're lucky a half dozen people will appreciate what you do, and the best you can do is get BTG to feature something you've made on his channel. But still you're not going to get much out of it.

2020 gave us who have made content for a while a taste of what true validation felt like, so many players fled to mari0 AE and I could see it in my downloads and views.

I know this sounds like "Manchild crying about his mappack not getting 100 downloads" but It's really not, never cared about views at all but with the hundreds of hours I spend on some mappacks I feel like I'm throwing my time into a black hole, you can make money but you can't make time, and I wanna use my time on things I feel good for, mappacks don't do that for me anymore

Constant quota changes

Do you remember the days where the only custom enemies would be... enemies? I don't. It's not a bad thing that we have so many new things we can make with all the exploits found by Williamfrog but it makes it so hard to top what's been made, and knowing that what you make now could become 10x easier in a week.

Overall I love the evolution of the games limits, so many amazing things that couldn't have been made in 2018 when I started. But it makes everything I do feel so small, I don't have the skills or time to make some of the things people are making now, I've fallen too far behind.

I could learn and adapt but I don't want to spend years on one mappack... except for one (We'll get to that later). I miss when I could throw together a mappack in a month and call it a day, yes they we're bad but not because I didn't spend time on it, mainly because I was just young and unexperienced.

When am I quitting:

It's hard to tell at this point but I'm looking at 2025, I have 3 major things I want done before I go, things I have dreamed about for years that would feel wrong not to do.

Finish my never ending secret mappack

I've been working on a mappack with a fellow creator for almost 2 years, the delays are not due to just me or them, but a bit of both.

Anyway we have plans to kickstart development soon and get some serious work done. and I'm hoping to show it off as soon as possible. I'm hoping that by going public it would give us the motivation to keep going now we'll have people looking at what we're working on.

Finish already (partially started) planned mappacks

I have a few mappacks planned and two that have had some amount of work done. Not going to beat around the bush the two are 12 maps of Christmas 5 and a HIM collection, being a remake of all 4 mappacks.

Both of these exist as mappacks but still haven't officially been started.

Create one last update for my SMM2 enemy pack

The pack is years out of date and really needs an update, I'll be working with Williamfrog to rebuild the majority of the pack from the ground up and also adding a few new enemies but not too much. This will almost purely be a quality of life update.

What does the future hold for me?

Well, mostly 3 things:

Game Development

It's been more of a secondary love for a while but I really want to go full force with it, I love game development, I love making game, I love programming games, I love documenting games. Making games will give me a whole new world to open.

I won't have to worry about pleasing a niche community as indie game development is such a major industry with low entry barriers.

And I'll never have to work with complicated, unintelligent formats like enemies. Everything I want I can make myself.

I've already made 3 games for game jams, but nothing major. So after I bid farewell I am going to go full force on my first major game.

I'm aiming for an hour of gameplay, and tons of extras. Nothing is planned yet but I'm super hyped to get started.

And above all else, I can have the option to monetize through itch.io by allowing people to pay for my games, I want my games to be enjoyed by all so there will be no only paid games, at least for a while, but having the option to allow people to support me will be so nice.

Youtube channel

Above that I will also be continuing my videos, making videos about games I'm working on (Showcases, playthroughs, devlogs, game jams) but also regular gaming videos.

And I'll also still be making mari0 mappack showcases. I still love the game and want to put more of the community in the spotlight, seeing how other people react to how I play their mappacks is always so rewarding, especially when I rage lol.

And I'll also be starting some tutorials on how I made my mappacks, talking about planning, creation and advertising. I'll be showing off the tools I used, providing all the templates I've made over the years, making a mod to help with quality of life when making mappacks and just general tutorials on making specific things.

And general life

I'm going to be 22 in August 2024, I'm an adult.

I've been working on getting my drivers licence so I can look into moving out of my parents house and closer to where I'll be working as at my current job they're in the middle of planning to move to a bigger city (Not hundreds of miles away, like 12), infact the plans went through this Thursday so it is happening. I'm looking to pass by the end of the year.

When I move out i'll have to spend more of my time doing things like my own laundry and shopping which will suck slightly but hey, I'll have my own place and i'll be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want!

And who knows, maybe I'll find someone who loves me for who I am and not the way I look or the number in my bank account. And maybe I'll have a mini Aidan who I can talk to about how bad slopes used to be in the retirement home.

Departing words

Thank you for reading this...I know it's a lot and as someone who is really bad at reading and writing this was so hard, my back hurts.

But I needed to get things right, and make sure people knew everything.

And yeah, that's about it, thank you all for an amazing 6 and a half years, I've still got lots of time left to work on mari0 and be of help.

Thank you all so much, I love you, kiss kiss, UwU.

Ok that's too weird, thanks, I appreciate it.

Kind regards, - Aidan The Mapper, Aid0n, Britdan

And most importantly, Aidan

how did you and Danny meet?

tldr: we met through our friend Amethyst!

she posted a video of me on her snap story in july 2022 and he swiped up and asked if it would be okay to message me. i didn’t know who he was at the time so i was a lil skeptical but she said “andi he’s so cute and so nice and it’s what you deserve rn after everything that’s happened” so i told her to give him my ig and we followed each other. next day he swiped up on my ig story and we talked for a bit. a few weeks later we arranged a date and he drove up from miami to orlando (4 hours) to take me to lunch. literally best first date i’ve ever had! he got me flowers :’) we got hot pot lunch and we got along so well we decided to keep the date going, so we decided to go to universal but then it started raining so we got absolutely DRENCHED. We ended up just running around the park in the rain bc everyone had left LOL. then we went back to my apartment to dry up, i lent him some clothes and we watched the first harry potter movie and cuddled on the couch while our clothes dried. after the movie he went to a hotel he booked for the night (bc he didn’t want to drive back to miami at 1am obv). he didn’t even kiss me or anything we literally hugged goodbye it drove me insane for weeks. after a few weeks we stopped talking bc i was just not ready for something as serious as he was offering, considering i was going through a breakup and also was in a sort of? situationship? anyway yeah i giga fumbled but on new year’s i drunk texted danny essentially saying “pls give me another chance i was just not ready” and he messaged back three days later and we talked for a bit, until he came to PR to see me in april 2023 and we started dating. and then obv he didn’t ask me to be his gf until june.

also fun fact: the first time he ever saw me was on skeppy’s love or host (jan. 2021) and he thought i was really pretty and debated on messaging me until he saw my twitter and my uh association with certain members of a minecraft server and thought i was a walking red flag and just didn’t message me. (fair)

another fun fact: his dad and my mom went to high school just one town away from each other and graduated a year apart (the invisible string is real)

sorry i will literally use any excuse to yap about my man i love him so much

huge fan of how they did this 1.20 update so far. the changes really do feel like “they are doing things to make minecraft more minecraft”, just adding several small things that makes everything feel nicer is exactly what i want from an update. just… small details! huge fan of that! also a big fan of them going “we are only going to show you features that are done”. it does mean we don’t actually get to know what they’re planning until it’s about to be in a snapshot, which will be an adjustment, but it’ll prevent all the nonsense that happened around 1.19, so I’m a fan. overall, like how 1.20 is looking!

genuinely all the pairs are insane. shoutout, for example, to tango and jimmy, the single most doomed pair of people i can possibly imagine. mr. “dies with tragic futility” and mr. “dies first despite his best efforts” are on the same team AND one of them was already blown up by a creeper. i cannot imagine a more “will die first” pairing. those poor boys i’m already planning their funeral,

“Alright,” Jevin says, “now you just have to give the egg basket back.”

Grian stares at him with big, black, soulful eyes, and holds the basket closer to himself. “...give... you... the eggs...?”

Jevin closes his eyes and mentally counts to five before opening them again. “Yeah. That was the point of the game, right? Collect the eggs and then give them back to prove you’d found them.”

Grian continues to stare.

“So you hand me the basket...”

“Are... are you keeping an eye on them?” Grian asks.

“Keeping an eye on the eggs.”

“Well, it’s a dangerous world out there,” Grian says. “You never know when some maniac with TNT might show up. Probably best to just keep these in my ne- base. Keep these in my base.”

“A maniac with TNT?“ says Jevin, in a tone of voice he hopes conveys exactly who the maniac with TNT normally is on the server.

“You never know,” Grian says. “You’ve seen the eggs now. You know I found them. Really, what do you need all those eggs for? Surely you won’t miss these, right?”

Jevin sighs. “Yes, but I need the eggs to prove you didn’t cheat. You can’t win unless you turn them in.”

Grian stares blankly at Jevin, big black eyes watering as he tries to decide between winning (a thing Grian is very bad at giving up on) and, presumably, some stupid bird instinct that’s refusing to let him let go of the eggs. Jevin’s not sure which one is winning. He is sure, however, that he is slightly regretting making the egg hunt actually use eggs.

Because, he thinks wryly, it’s hardly just Grian.

“Jevin,” Doc says, landing on the platform to the egg hunt central area. Grian makes a sound somewhere between a hiss and a squawk and pulls his shulker full of carefully-padded and protected eggs closer to his chest. “I have found all of my eggs.”

“Excellent! Now, if you’ll hand them over -”

Doc is holding a shulker close to his chest. “Give you my eggs? Don’t be ridiculous.”

...the worst part, Jevin thinks, as he tries to figure out how to negotiate with a bunch of hybrids who haven’t slept in too long and therefore don’t realize they’re being irrational, is that the others are almost certainly going to insist on playing again next year. Something about optimal hiding spots. Next year, though, he swears: he’s not calling them eggs.

general writing advice, actually: you don’t need an excuse beyond “BUT WOULDN’T THIS BE COOL” to write something into your fic. write things in solely because they make you cackle with the delight of a 12-year-old-boy playing with his dinosaur toys. it’s fun and there’s nothing stopping you or any of us at all any longer.

if you like silly minecrafters i have a series for you: the purge smp!!

what’s the purge smp?

the purge smp was a minecraft smp that ran from january 2021 to around march 2021, it’s lifespan being short due to a loss of interest from some of those involved.

this smp, which was created by basicallyidowrk and fourzer0seven, had teams of three spend each week gathering resources and preparing their bases for the weekly purge, where any and all crime would be legal.

the purge would happen every friday and lasted for one hour (with the exception of the first week’s purge which lasted 2 hours). the only exception to this was the destruction of buildings at spawn that were granted immunity, such as the courthouse of schmeg. they also used proximity chat!

the teams (except one) had colored nametags and a few of them had team names, including:

pork patties (light green)- i am wildcat, daithi de nogla, terroriser

(orange) - moo snuckel, basicallyidowrk, fourzer0seven

team sickos (dark red) - chilledchaos, shubble, zeroroyalviking

(black) - petezahhutt, notmystic7, jtgily

bearfists and the other guy (white) - smii7y, kryozgaming, blarg

the crew (light blue) - kyrsp33dy, sidearms4reason, thedeluxe4

(yellow) - bigpuffer, elasticdroid, grizzy

(red) - kruzadar, taydertot, toastfps

(purple) - racingcatz, slackatk, azn_purefatal

(dark green) - iamtrevormay, miltontpike1 [also played a character called “schmeg”], legiqn_

(pink) - blakecissel, hitchariide, jorgesummertime

some recognizable mcyts that were involved are shubble and petezahhutt!

there were also guests on the server, who were not (or weren’t supposed to be) affiliated with any team. these people consist of vanossgaming (reporter for the purge smp; has an obvious bias for the pork patties) and noahj456 (might be wrong about noah, but i’m honestly not sure if he’s teamed with anyone or not)

my personal favorite pov is smii7y’s (who has two videos, one of the first day and the other being the first purge) but for a longer watch i’d reccomend wildcat’s pov!

there’s also this playlist that has a bunch of the purge smp videos and stream vods along with some clips, funny moments, and animatics from the smp :]

most of the members have made videos and streamed the purge smp! while some streams are still available (such as a few of nogla’s), others like pete’s i unfortunately haven’t been able to find anywhere

also, i plan to post the last three of smii7y’s purge smp vods somewhere (maybe youtube) since i saved them last year :D so i’ll post a link when i do that

if anyone has any questions about the server or anything i talked about, feel free to send a message to me or my inbox and i’ll answer it to the best of my ability!! :D

[seffius]

I'm just getting increasingly unhappy with Minecraft. The content and their creators have been worlds beyond disappointing. There's no room for innovation. You could have the best intentions to change the community forever and youll only bring out the worst in people. The mcyt viewers are fucking crazy. Rp is dead. Even when it was alive it was subpar because the lines between ic and ooc are non-existent but if you cant tell the difference you're parasocial and if you try to define them yourself you're a creep who promotes rpf. You can't rp yourself because the culture looks down on it and if you try, people will take advantage of your good will to inflate their own egos. They'll doxx you over fucking pixels. They'll bully you off servers. I've been on 5 of such severs since 2021 and they're fucking TOXIC and no one gives a shit about worldbuilding or storytelling. And I'm watching other video games now and I'm like holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with minecrafters?

[tap-tap-tap-im-in]

A friend of mine asked me recently to detail my Linux setup, and after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that this is essentially a personality quiz for the Linux users I thought I would detail it here as well.

I no longer have a desktop computer at all. I have two older generation "gaming" laptops and three Raspberry Pis. I'm going to go through in the order I got them:

Laptop #1:

[Purchased New in 2016] Acer ROG 7th Gen i7, 16GB Ram, nVidia 1050Ti Mobile, Internal 1TB HDD, external 2TB HDD

This was originally a windows laptop when I got it back in 2016, but in 2021 I was tired of the long windows boot times on the the HDD and was much more familiar with Linux due to several years experience doing webserver admin work.

I use Ubuntu LTS as my base. It's easy, it's well supported, it's well documented, and the official repos have just about everything I could need. The only thing I've really had to add myself is the repo for i3, but we'll get to that in a bit. I also chose Ubuntu because I already had my first two Raspberry pis, and both were running Raspbian, so using a debian based kernal meant that it wouldn't be much of a change when ssh'ing into them.

That said, I've never really liked the default Ubuntu desktop. Gnome3 is slow and full of too many effects that don't look especially nice but are still heavy to execute. Instead I loaded up KDE plasma. You can download Kubuntu and have them to the setup for you, but I did it the hard way because I found out about Plasma after installing Ubuntu and didn't want to start from scratch.

My plasma desktop looks like this:

Of my two laptops, this one is in the best shape. It's the one that I usually take with me on trips. With the dedicated GPU it can do some light gaming (it did heavier gaming on windows, but due to emulation layers the performance is just a little worse these days, Linux gaming isn't perfect), the screen hinge has never been an issue, and it's on the lighter side of gaming laptops (which is not to say that it's light). For that reason, I often find myself actually using it on my lap, in airports, at people's houses, on my own couch typing this up.

For this reason, I started looking into ways to better keep my hands on the keyboard, rather than having to drift down to the track pad, which is my least favorite part of this laptop. During that research I discovered i3. If you're not familiar i3 is a Linux Desktop Environment that is entirely keyboard driven. https://i3wm.org/

To be fair, it's less of a desktop environment and more of a keyboard driven window manager, as it doesn't have a "desktop" per se. Instead when you log into it, you simply get a black status bar at the bottom of the screen. It doesn't even black out the login screen, so if you don't know what to look for, you might think the whole thing has hung. But, the big benefit of this is that the whole thing is lighting fast for a DE. It doesn't waste any resources on effects or really anything that you don't need. But it's really nice for window tiling and task switching without having to get the mouse involved. This is great for productivity (if you're into that), but it's also just convenient for working on a gaming laptop, which might be balanced such that if you take your hands off of it, it might topple off your lap.

This laptop is my primary project computer. It has all my git repos and scripts for doing things like renewing my website's ssl certs. I also run game servers on it for Minecraft. I'm probably going to spin up a Valheim server on it in the near future too. Especially now that the process has improved somewhat.

Raspberry Pi #1:

[Gifted New in 2016] Raspberry Pi 3b, 4GB RAM, 32GB SD card

This one is my oldest RPi. It's had a lot of roles through the years, including an early version of the vogon media server during initial development in 2020. It's run headless Raspbian for a good three or four years now. Currently it's configured as a web server/php scripted web crawler and a pi-hole DNS server. My router currently refuses to use it as a DNS server without bringing the whole network down, but I will on occasion manually switch devices to it when I'm running especially ad-ridden applications.

There's not too much to say about this one. It's stable, I almost never have problems with it. I frequently use it for things that I want running in the background because they'll take too long and I don't want them blocking up one of my other computers.

Laptop #2

[Gifted Used in 2020] Asus Predator 7th Gen i7, 16GB Ram, nVidia 1080 Mobile, 2 internal 256GB SSDs, External 2TB HDD

This one runs windows 10 still. I use this primarily for gaming. The screen hinge is an absolute joke, and replacing it involves replacing the entire screen bezel assembly, which I can absolutely do, but is such a pain that I haven't gotten around to it in the 3 years I've owned this laptop.

There's nothing really special about this one, other than that when both laptops are at my desk, I use a KVM switch to swap my external monitor, keyboard, and trackball between the two computers.

Raspberry Pi #2:

[Gifted New in 2020/21] Raspberry Pi 4b, 4GB Ram, 16GB SD card, 2 120GB USB Sticks, External 2TB HDD

This is my media server. I got it for Christmas 2020 (or 2021, I don't actually remember which because 2020 was a hard hard year). It runs Rasbian, the full OS, with the desktop environment disabled from booting via the command line. It runs PHP 8.2, MariaDB, Apache2, and MiniDLNA to serve the content via my Vogon Media Server.

If you can't tell from the above storage, I'm running the USB ports well past the power delivery they are rated for. The webserver and OS are on the internal storage, so functionally this just means that sometimes the media disappears. I need to build a migration script to put the contents of the two USB sticks on the external storage, as there is more than enough room, and if I can put the HDD in an enclosure with dedicated power, that will solve the issue. But that's at least a hundred dollars of expense, and since the server only has 1, maybe two users at a time, we've been limping along like this for a few years now.

Raspberry Pi #3:

[Purchased New in 2023] Raspberry Pi 4b, 8GB Ram, 16GB SD card

This is the newest Pi. Work gave me a gift card as a bonus for a project recently, so after weighing the pros and cons of getting a VR headset, I settled on setting up a retro gaming tv box. Currently it's running Batocero Linux and loaded up with classic game roms up through the PSX. Though, I would really like to use it as a tv client for the media server. I've upgraded the devices in the living room recently, and there's no longer a dedicated web browser we can use without hooking up one of our laptops. I've got a spare 128GB SD card in the office, so I'm strongly considering getting a wireless mouse and keyboard and setting it up to dual boot between Batocero (which is convenient because it can be navigated with just a controller), and Raspbian. I think I'd set Batocero as the default in Grub, and then if I want to use Raspbian I'd need to have the keyboard handy anyway.

Maybe I'll get one of those half-sized keyboards with the trackpad built in.

Speaking of controllers. I use an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, and I've been super happy with it since purchase: https://www.8bitdo.com/pro2/

So that's the setup. I have entirely too many computers for any one person, but I included the dates when I got them to show that a number of these have been around for a long time, and that part of the reason I have so many now is that I've put a lot of time into ongoing maintenance and repurposing.

If you've read this far, I'd love to hear about your setups. You don't have to reblog this, but please tag me if you detail yours.

I still remember when I first got into the Dream SMP.

It was the beginning of 2021, February 16th to be exact. I had seen it trending on Twitter and had seen clips from it on TikTok for months, but that day I was bored and not doing anything and I saw another clip on TikTok and thought “fuck it, imma check this out.” I made a post on my other blog about watching it and I tried to navigate how to do so but eventually I started with Wilbur’s Dream SMP playlist that he has on YouTube, starting with “I Started a Revolution on the Dream SMP” and from there I was hooked.

I’ve been watching YouTube and indulging in media for years—since middle school in 2008–but have never come across something like this (the closest thing I have that rivals this for me is Supernatural). It was so entertaining and the storyline was interesting, and the banter? Fuck dude, the banter is the best part! It was so fun getting to watch these people who barely knew each other at the time squabble and get into weird little situations only applicable to a Minecraft server.

I started binging content from then on out like a motherfucker and eventually caught up at the beginning of March. That being said, I only had a few vods left to watch when I caught my first ever Dream SMP lore stream live, which was from TommyInnit on March 1st of 2021. I’m sure you all remember it. Tommy was stuck in prison with Dream and one thing led to another and you know, the kid's last canon life was lost. Again, that was the first Dream SMP lore stream I ever caught live and I was so thrilled and exhilarated and had so much adrenaline from catching a lore stream live and from it ending like that?!?! which also had me devastated as well (from a storyline perspective ofc). I knew if it were to continue we’d be seeing Tommy again but by this point, Tommy had become my favorite member and me getting near caught up only to watch his character die was a lot lmao. I was totally caught up by his revival on his March 8th (2021) stream though and was super hyped to catch another one of his lore streams live.

Either way, he came back and we got more story--even got Wilbur back--and it was all so amazing. The prison arc will forever hold such a special place in my heart for being the first actual lore arc I watched streamed live. But Tommy.

TommyInnit.

My favorite member of the Dream SMP was Wilbur at first. He was my introduction by random, mainly because he had a playlist of shortened videos set and ready to go that I just went with for ease of access, and I still love him to death and have had like a huge internet crush on him since that first dsmp video of his that I watched (if you can’t tell by my unchanging blog theme lmao) but Tommy.

That boy is my favorite streamer. My favorite dsmp member. One of my favorite content creators.

Watching the majority of the Dream SMP lore from his vods and streams and thus through his perspective, it would’ve been crazy for him not to be my favorite. I love his story as well as his storytelling and the way he acts. And his humor is immaculate--right up my alley. There's just so much about him that I love. If it wasn’t for him and who he is and how enjoyable he makes his content to watch I don’t know if I would’ve stuck around for as long as I have. I love Wilbur and Dream the most next but they weren’t as present then so I would’ve had like nothing to cling onto, but I had Tommy. Even when his streams became sparse he was still streaming and being the most lovable, entertaining person ever. Not that my other faves aren’t, Tommy is just… different. He’s just Tommy. He’s my favorite and I don’t feel bad saying it.

Watching the end of his Dream SMP send-off stream was bittersweet (I say end because I pulled a fucking George and slept through most of it, but from what I've gathered even he was there so I just messed up lmao). It’s nice to have a definite ending and not have to go through “soon” anymore and be left hanging and wondering if anything else will ever come, but of course, I miss it. I miss the anticipation of waiting for a stream and consuming more information and lore and trying to connect the pieces. Still, I’m glad we got an actual end for the server and that we were also given a chance to say goodbye to it. This server, this community, its content creators and its fans, all of it means so fucking much to me. It’s been a wild fucking ride and I’m so glad I was here to experience it.

I’m not leaving anytime soon; I’ll still be following the dsmp creators and making my own dsmp related content--mainly posting here, making TikTok's, and writing fics and such--but I just wanted to give thanks to the server that’s basically ruled my life for the past two plus years and give a big thank you to those who run it, played it, and the community who was a part of it right alongside me. I love you all so fucking much.

Goodbye, Dream SMP. It’s been a helluva fucking ride.

“dSmP fAiLEd bC dReAm diDn’T knOw hoW tO rUn hiS oWn sErVer 🤓☝️”

qsmp was made for the purpose of becoming big and popular. the dsmp was not - and it was never meant to be as big as it was. dream made that server so he and his friends can hang out in minecraft

unlike quackity, dream never had a whole team to help him run the server. he didn’t have a bunch of mods, he didn’t have fans sign up to promote the server for him, he only had himself and callahan. dream didn’t have a team for content at all period. no editor no thumbnail artist - it was all himself. he was editing his and the dream team’s videos up until last year.

also unlike quackity with the qsmp, the dsmp was NEVER dream’s number one priority. he had manhunt, other youtube videos, the dream team’s videos (to conceptualize, code, and edit, mind you.), a merch company to run, george’s visa application, music, mcc, etc.

the dsmp failed for the same reason usmp never got to start: harassment and hate from other ccs’ communities. need i remind you of the “drop dream” and “boycott dsmp” hashtags? the threats to him, his friends, and his family? dream himself said it’s the biggest reason why. the people faulting him for ending the dsmp are the same people who pushed him to do so.

another reason dsmp failed is because of loreheads and freak stans who would cry and whine about every single artifact and mob on that server - further demotivating old and new members to play

most members of the dsmp also had other content to prioritize, such as irl content. dream is not the sole cause of everything that happened on the dsmp. (it’s also just funny how back in 2021, lore got pushed back so hard cause lockdown was being lifted and dream did not complain a single time. but once dream had face revealed, got 10 times busier, had been traveling, had internet issues at home, and had JUST MET his best friend of 7 years for the first time, people [ccs and fans alike] suddenly wanna cry about lack of communication 🤷‍♀️)

dream actually does know how to manage a server, despite *certain* people’s negative biases. he was involved in a lot of the lore writing, especially with wilbur and tommy (another instance: he agreed to be involved in ranboo’s lore out of the blue, even while he was doing his main arc with tommy - and if you were actually there, you’d remember it went really well). he used to hold meetings with other members to discuss lore. it has been mentioned before that dream would hold open forums and discuss terms of the server which had always ended in agreement. he also set specific and fair rules - which i’m sure everyone forgot about - and was unbiased about it (ex. punishing george for tping to where he died to get his stuff despite being his best friend). he also catered to other members’ needs (coding ranboo’s enderman powers, giving hannah her elytra back after it was stolen and destroyed, giving foolish his immortal powers). there’s so much more to say here but you get the gist: dream is a natural born leader and it showed while he was running the dsmp

dream actually already had prior experience when it came to running servers. he was literally the co-owner and a developer of munchymc. if you read that reddit comment from velvet complimenting dream on how well he handled issues in munchy, then ikyk

you can insult dream about a lot of things (i'm lying, you can't actually), but to diminish his work ethic and skill in general is what pisses me off the most - cause i have never seen a public figure this dedicated to his job no matter what hurdles are thrown at him. he has done almost everything by himself with minimal help - and did so with grace. he’s never complained about being swamped with work, is always open to *constructive* criticism, and most importantly of all, he has never, ever, shit on someone else to earn his spot on the top.

I built something in honor of Technoblade on my Minecraft server

It was my first time building a statue but I think I did a good job. I at least am happy with it and it helps me cope with yesterdays news. 

Of course I started growing potatos at his feet and I plan on expanding the field but I don’t have any more potatos at the moment. 

For anyone interested at the signs there nothing big but here you go:

I think one day we should simply make the Movie Goncharov and advertise it as a remake and thereby confuse the general public by making them think there is a 1973 Movie named Goncharov, directed by Martin Scorsese, that they somehow can't find but still go to the cinema to see what the movie is about and then in a corner somewhere after the movie ended there will be a few Tumblrinas that just rant about how much better the original Movie was which will make outsiders even more confused.

I think this is a great idea. Also we could find other Tumblrinas by just simply stating how much better the original was after the movie and it could become a addition to the "I like your shoelaces" Phrase.

What are your Top 3 controversial Swtor opinions?

You know I don't play the game that much xD

I also don't really pay attention to what is going on around the game, so I literally don't have any opinions despite liking the game xD

I don't even know what would qualify as "controversial" xD

After a long time I finally decided to draw some fanart and who would be better than Bruno Madrigal?

I'm still leaning how to draw digitally but I think I'm getting better!

Anyway, all kind of criticism is welcome! I'd love to improve my art! Please be kind though.

Also, since I'm as white as it gets, I'm kinda scared I might not have done his skintone perfect, so please if anyone feels offended by it tell me right a way and I'll do my best to fix it!

My #1 post of 2022

Speaking of Hermitcraft, I absolutely love the dynamic between Grian and Scar.

I just watched their recent Hermitcraft Episodes and I loved how Grian immediately went to Scar so that he would help him not to start a Resistance against Ren. Or that later in Scars Episode Grian just used the fishing rod on Scar and Scar just stood there letting it happen, occasionally eating his cookies so he won't die of fall damage.

Their friendship is just so great and I hope that one day I will find a friendship like this myself.
