if mcyt isn’t fiction then

people who create dnd characters that are similar to them in personality are just playing themselves and should not be treated as having made a character

people who make any other dnd character should also be treated as just playing themselves since people refuse to even consider roleplay smps as fiction

any ocs someone puts a bit of themselves into? nope not fiction!

actors who play a character with the same first name as them aren’t really acting

and so on

maybe YOU can’t separate characters and real people and think that everything you see from a youtuber even when they’re explicitly acting is how they are in real life but we as a fandom just don’t have that issue lol. we’ve had disclaimers and indicators for when we’re talking about characters and not content creators for years because a certain smp contained a character having suicidal thoughts as a result of abuse at the hands of another character and we needed to make it absolutely crystal clear that we were referring to a fictional storyline and not real guy #1 being an abuser and real guy #2 being suicidal. these customs have either extended into other corners of mcyt fandom, or some developed their own independently like hispanic mcyt fans have used the word cubito to distinguish mc guy from real life guy from years, a term that other language speakers liked so much we’ve also started picking it up lol

we know exactly what we’re doing. i get that the line maybe does seem more blurred to an outsider looking in (i wouldn’t know given that both my first fandom at age 12 and current fandom at age 20 were mcrp lol) but it’s universally understood amongst us. i don���t have a problem separating hermitcraft!gem and empires s1!gem the wizard with a twin brother and empires s2!gem the princess and cc!gem the real life canadian woman.

idk it rubs me the wrong way that after years of trying to explain this we’re either met with people calling us racists because of three guys that the rest of us (all of us, really, because dream team fans do not claim to be minecraft fans. those are the type to actually write rpf and ship the real life racist guys) hate probably a lot more than any of you do, or they watch a few minutes of a less roleplay-heavy series/part and decide that the entire medium is invalid as a form of storytelling

it’s so annoying. i don’t think we need to be understood to have validity as a fandom we’ve been doing this for years already without that but it is so infuriating and sad how whenever there’s some kind of fandom poll thing one of three things happens

mcyt fans are banned outright and placed on the same level as something like hp

an mcyt fan runs their own and gets harassed for it

a non-mcyt fan allows us in until they get harassed so badly by whatever fandoms we go up against that they end up deleting our bracket

in what world is that normal behaviour. and that harassment always involves calling them all racist cishet white men such as misgendering both eret (real life bisexual genderqueer person) and their character (also queer), attempting to harass jimmy solidarity fans because jimmy makes mc videos so he must be a dream associate (the only time they interacted was in a tournament during which dream and georgenotfound shittalked jimmy’s best friends to his face), all the shit quackity has gotten for being a former friend of the dream team as if he wasn’t the #1 victim of their racism and xenophobia, the fact that any time c!technoblade is involved in a poll we have to beg other fandoms not to talk shit about him because the real life man died of cancer before dream’s grooming allegations came out, similarly when tfc was in one. and so on and so forth. all because people can’t separate roleplay and real life and think that the entire minecraft sphere revolves around dream just because their idea of mcyt does (not even his own smp named after him did that).

my final letter to the king himself~

i think what really hurt the most after watching the 'so long nerds' video.. was the realisation that techno's diagnosis was terminal this whole time. his dad said they had been discussing a final video 'for months' and his mom said he was always focused on beating what he knew were almost impossible odds.. even as he told us his doctors are amazing and that he's getting some of the finest healthcare around.. the entire time he knew. and i think that speaks extraordinary volumes about the kind of person that techno was.

his announcement video was essentially a goodbye video. and i think he just didn't want us to know that because it would have meant everyone would have spent this past year in a state of grief and sadness, rather than coming together and focusing on pure positivity, focusing on motivating him, sending him all of our wishes and strength and love. technoblade never dies - and i honestly did not have a single doubt about his recovery even for a second, because that's the kind of strength and courage he has put in me from the very beginning.

i cannot imagine how hard that must have been. i cannot even fathom how tough this past year has been for him and all of his loved ones. but what i do know, is that i will be eternally grateful to you technoblade. because you have always loved and cared, and you had the strength within you to put hope in people's hearts while knowing the universe was not kind enough to return the favour. i am in awe of the person that you were, and it has been a BLESSING to be able to support you these past few years. you have played the game well. now it's time for you to rest.

technoblade never dies 🐷👑

please do not forget to give whatever you can to the sarcoma foundation, in honour of technoblade

[cupcraft]

I love Hank

EXPLODING OMG YAY

cyberknife was the name of a cancer treatment. techno took that name from a cancer treatment.

only that guy could have ever :,)

What is Zach’s job after he becomes good? Does he still invent just not use animals?

Hello, thank you so much for this ask! I am sorry it took me forever to get to it, but I’ve been thinking on it for a while and considering how these questions play into the greater role of my Wild Violet AU. And, after the events of the Our Blue and Green World special, I feel it is the perfect time to address this!

The short answer to your question is exactly how you presented it: Zach does continue to invent after he forgoes a life of villainy, and he simply does not use animals as the power source anymore.

But, there is more to this part of Zach’s story in my AU: Namely, he not only continues to be an inventor, but he becomes a member of the Wild Kratts Team alongside his wife Violet. Specifically, Zach and Violet join forces with Aviva and the rest of the Wild Kratts gang to create and utilize inventions that will benefit the greater creature world around them.

A detailed and long winded explanation as to why and how this happened can be found below the cut!

Within my Wild Violet AU, Zach turns from a life of villainy after the birth of his and my OC Violet’s oldest daughter Varina Virginia Varmitech. Immediately following her birth, Zach and Aviva have a discussion regarding the importance of a happy, healthy, comfortable, and full life for all living creatures, more of which can be found at this post!

This discussion helps Zach to come to the realization that he no longer feels the burning desire to be a villain like he once did; he in fact may not want to be a villain at all anymore. In the month after Varina’s birth, Zach and Violet are kept apart from Varina because she is in the NICU. They spend as much time with her as possible, and the Wild Kratts crew come by to visit the new family as well (either with Varina in the hospital or with Zach and Violet at Zach’s headquarters).

Zach and Aviva manage to rekindle their friendship during this time. At first their interactions are still tense, but they eventually become as close as they were as kids at summer camp prior to their falling out (I’ll be posting more on this, in response to another ask, soon).

Aviva becomes such a strong source of encouragement to Zach as he struggles through the first months of fatherhood. And during this time, she continuously encourages him to truly consider turning from a life of villainy as he expressed following Varina’s birth. Zach begins to consider what his life may look life if he’s not a villain, and he goes to Violet with dilemma.

Zach: “I just don’t know what I’ll do if I’m not a villain…”

Violet: “Well, what did you do before you became a villain?”

Zach: “I invented…I dreamed of becoming the World’s Greatest Inventor…”

Violet: “Then there’s your answer: Invent. Make the inventions that will help you to achieve that goal.”

Zach: “But…Aviva…she made my greatest invention…the Creature Power Disks…how can I compete with that?”

(PS: I will give moor info on this in another post very soon!)

Violet: “Who says you have to compete with her? Why can’t you make an even greater invention that the world will always remember you for? I’ve been telling you for years that you’re capable of anything you set your mind to, and you are!”

Zach: “I know…but…I just can’t do what she does alone. Sure, I have you and the Zachbots, but I really want to make a difference like Aviva has, and I just don’t think we can do that by ourselves.”

Violet: “Yeah, I think you’re right, you’d need a well formed team to reach your goals, and a team of a husband, wife, and an army of robots isn’t enough…”

Zach: “What are you saying?”

Violet: “Maybe we should ask some Wild Rats if they’d like for a couple of Wild Violets to join their team?”

Zach: “You mean work with the Wild Rats?!?! Invent with Aviva?!?!”

Violet: “Bingo! Zachy is the winner!”

So, Zach and Violet join the Wild Kratts Team and Zach and Aviva become invention partners working to better the world around them through their inventions! I have yet to determine the exact nature of their joint inventions, but they typically contain the basic components included in Aviva’s previous inventions: Animal inspiration.

I also think that together, with the help of Violet and the rest of the Wild Kratts Crew, Zach and Aviva embark on a mission to find a cure for cancer. Again, I am not 100% sure of the way in which this would occur, but I think they may discover a plant with extreme healing properties, and Zach and Violet realize that these properties may cure cancer. Aviva, then, assists them and together the three of them and the rest of the team create this much needed, life saving cure.

For those of you who read all of this, I hope you enjoyed it! I have more Zach/Ziolet/Wild Kratts Content coming your way!

✨Maybe genderfluff? The hyper-pastel-ness of it is so yummy to me hfhfgfds

This flag was requested by @demitheshine!

Genderfluff is a term coined by @twink-flags describing a gender that is light, soft and fluffy!

This Magical Kid has a Fluffy/Y2K theme! They use They/Them pronouns and Soft/Softs/Softself, Fluff/Fluffs/Fluffself and Glitter/Glitters/Glitterself Neopronouns!

Fluffs name is Puffy for, well, obvious reasons! There’s no inspiration there, but Puffy relates to Fluffy word wise so… anyway, glitter can turn items fluffy! You wouldn’t THINK that has any practical use, bit most opponents seem to stop fighting and start freaking when their insides turn fluffy, even if it’s harmless. Their power is great for confusing enemies, and luckily the fluffiness factor is reversible at will.

Fluffs Magical Kid weapon is a taser shaped like a phone! The phone is completely functional, but releases a STRONG electric shock. The shock scales according to the tolerance of the opponent, while the phone itself is indestructible and never runs out of batteries. Because fluffs power is useless outside of the right circumstances, their weapon can really pack a wallop!

A useless fact about them is that they had cancer in their leg, which had to be amputated. Glass saved them by making them a Magical Kid, which in turn killed the cancer that had spread.

i am very much for the whole "life is too short to be a dick on purpose" thing because in fact, i could end up riddled with cancer by the time i'm 20. it's extremely fast progressive, and all of my siblings have needed their large intestines removed because of it. my mother is dying because it's progressing so fast it's eating her entire body and chemo didn't help. i have 2 years to come to terms with myself if i get unlucky. i have a 50/50 shot at this, but with the odds i see? i don't think i'll be lucky. So, I wanna enjoy each and every minute i've got until that clock starts ticking. Enjoy life, in all its fragility and beauty. You'll never regret anything if you live life to the fullest.

Parents texted me to come over. Said they had news about Maamaa. Came over thinking it was something bad…

[Image: a white sheet cake with a message, piped in small red lettering, saying “Maamaa Doesn’t Have Cancer She’s Just Very Old Also Belated Happy Birthday”. Next to the message, there’s an attempt at a Wooloo made out of icing.]

…Somebody please tell my dad not every message has to come through the medium of hobbyist baked goods. At least she’s okay… just very senior. And not allowed on stairs anymore.

closed starter for @meicarrillo at growing together pediatrics

Any time there was something weighing on Yas in her personal life, she was always grateful to have her work life to fall back on. It was a comfort to be able to get lost reading through charts or meeting with patients. The fact that she sometimes was also able to take the time to work with an old friend that she'd gone through med school with only ever made it better. After picking up coffees for both herself and Mei, Yas pulled in at Mei's office and headed inside for their meeting. "Got my charts, got us coffee, and even better, some good news to go along with it," Yas greeted as she walked inside, waving a file folder with a grin. They'd been working hand in hand with a mutual patient for awhile at that point and Yas finally was able to stop in with a new set of lab results that cleared the kid completely of the cancer they had been battling with, news that she wanted to give Mei the first crack and passing on to the family.

My dad passed away two days ago.

I want to talk about him a bit, so read on under the cut if you wish.

My dad was a Valentines baby, and he turned 80 this year (I came later than my sisters, heh). The day after his birthday, he went in for prostate cancer surgery. The surgery went well, but in the following days he was struggling a but with the pain killers. Then his heart stopped.

They got it started again, but apparently had to work on him for around 15 minutes. It wasn't good.

He never regained consciousness. They tried something called therapeutic hypothermia, which I read can help with inflamation in the brain and increase the likelihood of waking back up post-cardiac arrest.

Unfortunately, after all was said and done, there was too much damage. Both the physical toll from resuscitation and the brain damage. They told us that my dad was gone. The part of the brain that is your personality, everything that made him him (the sometimes manipulative, sometimes infuriating, imperfect and still lovable man that he was) was gone.

The next day they pulled his respirator, and he passed.

I'm heartbroken. I'm thankful it didn't drag on any longer than it did. I'm thankful he's not suffering. I'm honestly still reeling a bit. And I'm heartbroken.

**Respecting my sister's wishes to be off the internet, I've marked out her face. This 30yo picture is the only one i can find right now. I'm the teeny on the right, and my dad painted the mural behind us. He was a brilliant painter, and loved doing open windows, doorways, arches into other places on the walls. He did one wall of my bedroom in The Little Mermaid when I was a kid. He did portraits and landscapes and more abstract pieces. He experimented with materials and layering canvases in more recent years. Tucked away somewhere I have a fireplace He painted for me on a roll of fabric so I'd have a place to hang my stocking at Christmas time, no matter where I lived.

We joked constantly and loved movies and books and music together. We loved being outdoors, especially near the water. We used to joke about just leaving our daily lives to live off-grid in a tiny cabin ("ca-bone" as he liked to pronounce it) that we'd build ourselves. We loved food. He was incredibly silly and so, so smart.

He wasn't perfect, but he was my dad.

it’s slowly nearing that time of the year and I’m looking at a text I sent my mom asking about my grandma. I can’t talk about her without crying. I miss her.

this is kind of a vent so there’s gonna be a cut. I’m kind of crying at the moment so it’s kind of hard to write.. sorry.. I just really miss her.

you can scroll if you’d like. I just really want at least one person to see and read this.

I just want to know someone cares enough to read this whole thing.

19/3/2023 | Recently my grandma had been put into the hospital. A few weeks prior to this text I had visited her. My mom wouldn’t let me visit during school, so I barely went. I had asked a couple times, but she didn’t want me to. She was with grandma that day and I wanted to know how she was doing.

26/3/2023 - 29/3/2023 | It was around these days she passed. I can’t remember which one exactly. She passed away peacefully in the hospital. The day I got the news was terrible. I couldn’t think straight.. i couldn’t breathe. I miss her so so much. What I wouldn’t give to have her there a few more weeks.

If you actually read my Masterpost, you’d probably know my birthday is April 7th. That would be in less than 2 weeks. I don’t know what I did to deserve those things that happened so near my birthday.

25/3/2023 (a day or two earlier) | my mom wanted to ask me some things to help plan my birthday party.

Start of April, but before my birthday | I was quiet. Awfully quiet. I wanted to tell one of my friends what happened. I wanted to stay home. I wanted to cry. I wanted them to care. But would they in the first place? Never.

After my birthday, maybe around 8/4/2023 - 13/4/2023 | Me and my brother were walking home from the bus stop. Once we got inside, we saw our parents. They were crying. Most of all, my dad. Something happened. My grandpa (Dads side) passed away in his home. Why? Why, just after we lost my grandma? Why did we deserve this? Why, why, why. That’s all I could think. It was all so fucking near my birthday. I don’t get it! First my grandma (moms side), then my grandpa!

Why?

why me? Why my family? Why my grandpa? Why my grandma?

..Why did they leave me?

…I miss you guys so so much.

My grandma had cancer. An incurable one. Bone cancer. I don’t get why she was the one who had to get it. Why did Mother Nature take her from me? It’s not the same.

That one fun-loving, nice, happy, little girl you once knew? She’s gone. That was stripped from her the day you left.

That contagious smile you had on your face every time she saw you? She’ll never see again. But still, she misses you so so much. Love you. Hope your doing good.

And grandpa?

I loved you so much, too. I didn’t know you as well as my grandma but that’s only cause I didn’t see you as often. You were a good man. I don’t know what happened to Stanley. He was brought to a store or something but I don’t know what’s going on with him now. I still have those feathers from Stanley you gave me and my brother every time you visited. I’ll always miss you. Fly high.

———————————————————————

I get so pissed when I see someone joking about cancer or anything serious. It’s not funny, so I don’t know why people make jokes about it. If you’ve read this far, I just want to thank you so much. I don’t know what I’d do without any of you being here to cheer me up. Every time you talk or interact with me? It just makes me so happy.
