I want someone to write a reverse of that half-reveal Marichat trope, where Marinette finds out Chat Noir’s identity and they hang out together in her room and she acts like everything is normal and they’re just friends (totally no unresolved feelings there), but it’s with Ladrien.
I want to read Adrien finding out Ladybug’s identity and then her hanging out in his room, and they’re friends, but they’re both still painfully pining for the other, and they ache, but it’s totally fine because “they’re just friends” and yeah

Why is it that the Minecraft community is so unbelievably *bad*?
Maybe that's not the perfect phrasing, but hear me out here for a hot minute, and offer me an answer if you can, it's be greatly appreciated.
I haven't been in on MCYT long. However, I have been on exposing channels for an absurd amount of time, and I've seen a lot of creators rise and fall. Since I got really into MCYT l have seen the falls of Forever, Dream, and now Wilbur Soot, all well known and incredibly popular creators. And all for incredibly serious reasons.
And I don't understand. Is it simply that the power the larger creators have gets to their head? The wrong people get popular? The bad minority shouts the loudest? Because I've run through a lot of circles of the internet in my years, and even just one video game over things are unbelievably calmer.
People preach for their fave creators and prop them up on pedestals or they cast them to their feet and call each and every single one of them a flaming trash bag of shit waiting to blow.
I'll take the Legend of Zelda as an example. I have been involved to some degree in that fandom online for the last four years, and the biggest controversy I've seen was when SmallAnt and PointCrow had a falling out. They eventually reconciled, behind scenes, out of the public eye. But it was unremarkable, and nowhere near as opinionated as every. Single. Conversation. About a Minecraft YouTuber ever.
Their fans don't argue every creator is dirt, but they rarely prop thier favorite up on a pedestal either. (Smaller fandom = chiller fans? Something like that?)
It could be size. It could be that I got lucky with the sides of the fandoms I was on, or that I'm just looking at this differently now.
But I don't get how the Mario community has minor issues with disappointment or embarrassment or getting upset over smaller things that are solved through just being adults and such a large amount of mainstream Minecraft creators are faced with grooming, or sexually messaging minors, or /abusing their partner/. Because where other communities have disputes, MCYT has crimes. And if that isn't something people haven't talked about yet, then I think we should.

i'm thinking about english and spanish quackity supposedly being seperate characters. i am thinking about how wilbur could have had a seperate egg for himself. i am thinking about this dysfunctional telenovela couple that still somehow go to bat for each other in aheart beat. i am thinking about wilbur telling tallulah "the best solution is love" i am thinking about tallulah writing "i have a lot of love in my heart" i am thinking about the way quackity explicitly focused in on that sign i am thinking about grief and heart ache and the power of loved ones to keep you afloat. i am thinking i may be mentally ill.
