17 and 18 for the ask game

hi wrenny wren 🫶 i’m assuming this is for the dsmp so okaaay

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art?

i am such a sucker for religious symbolism in art and writin and storytelling GAWWDD and not just christianic symbolism (which i think is most commonly found) but like. the ideas of religious guilt and sin and confessions and act and rites towards a higher god. god dsmp had that so good with the gods of the universe and the fanon interpretations/expansions on them. literally that shit was amazing. you ever see those stained-glass artworks and stuff? good lord. egg religious symbolism xd and c!mumza and c!foosh and c!philz and these gods who played in the realms of mortals i just LOVE that imagery and ideology. soooo good

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

uhhhh diverging strictly from dsmp but like. overall. female mcyts. like today i posted about qjaiden and ended up talking w a few people and going through ao3 and just... it was really saddening to see how minimal appreciation she gets for the deeper nuanes of her character. like as someone just getting their feet wet with the qsmp (so to speak), its been so much easier to find metaposts and analysis about the male streamers than on qjaidens character and i just. i get that this is sort of the song and dance of being an mcyt fan, but i get so wrapped in my little corner of mcytblr surrounded by mutuals and artists who make a lot of content for female cubitos, and people who i attract by centralizing women in my content recently... that i forget that like. the rest of the greater fandom exists.

and its such a shame, because i think there is soooo much awesomeness and nuance and complexity in their stories too! like they are not inherently worse or lamer or less exciting. these creators arent just great streamers, they can be storytellers in their own ways and also still grow and evolve through nurturing their characters and honing in on it. but i feel like they are so easily overlooked. like if you only look for one kind of story in your fandoms you will only ever see it, you know ?sorry this turned into a soap box and i made myself a little sad. i don't think its one person or another individually building this problem, and conversations about misogyny in fandom go WAAAY farther back than silly minecraft roleplay servers but i just. i am so thankful that i can create and consume wonderful art about women in the mcyt sphere and i hope my little corner grows bigger and other people see that too
