One big problem with Scar's recent tweet (the one stating him and Grian have to avoid each other due to lots of negative feedback) is the sort of unawareness on this website. Yes, CCs certainly don't step foot here nearly as much as other websites, but acting like it's solely a YouTube and Reddit problem is driving me insane.

For the past year most of Trafficblr has been nothing but negativity and complaining towards folks that post Scar and Grian together, complaining that they're overrated and that they're sick of seeing them together. Almost all of the "hot takes" and "discourse" that people post are just whining about how annoying and popular Grian is, and how everything is desert duo, and how they want to see other things.

And I've pointed that out. Several times! Few people listened! Mcytblr confessions is almost entirely negativity, I see rancid takes about Grian alone (not even MENTIONING desert duo or scarian) on a damn near daily basis. I've gotten hate asks saying things along the lines of "of course you post about Grian and Scar" and "I followed you for Joel, not scar". Popular fan artists and bloggers hopping on the hate train, bullying popular fanon concepts and canon concepts, saying they hate the angst, or that it's overrated, or that there's too much shipping and they don't like it anymore. People that like other MCYTers like Zedaph, or Big B, or Tango, or anyone and everyone under the sun all blamed Grian and desert duo for their lack of content and accused Grian fans of not putting enough effort into fandom. Effort! Into fandom! Like it's a requirement and not a hobby you do for fun!

And those exact same people are shocked right now. I'm going to pull you all close when I say this: fandom is supposed to be fun. It is not a job. Nobody is required to like certain things, and that applies to your dislike of Grian and Scar together, true... But the wave of hate the past year or so has been ridiculous. If someone only watches Grian or Scar, that's fine. They don't have to watch anyone else. If they only post about desert duo or scarian it doesn't make them shallow or basic.

If you are genuinely upset by this, please, I beg of you: take a break from fandom. There have always been more popular characters and pairings in fandom. That is a fact of life. If you are genuinely, seething, furiously upset about all the Grian and Scar, or anything in fandom, take a break. You have to remember that the CCs don't have to do this, and they are friends and people too, and the negativity you have towards your fandom make them think you hate it. While it's true the bottom of the barrel dwell in YouTube comments and on Reddit, I see a lot of negativity on Twitter and Tumblr.

Frankly, I'm pissed. And grateful we even have a life series anymore, with all the negative feedback they get on every little aspect of the life series. Let friends be friends, for fuck's sake. And if you feel you MUST post negatively about anything in the life series or group, I suggest you make like the DSMP fandom and add CC! or C! indicators. Someone on Twitter bemoaned they weren't complaining about "fanon scarian, not canon scarian" which I think is a roundabout way of denying they're two separate things. But I digress as that's not what this post is about. The point is is that those same people that were so eager to complain about Scar and Grian being overrated are awfully, awfully quiet now. For shame, do better, and have fun. It's Minecraft YouTube, not a job.

TL;DR: Traffic Twitter and Trafficblr both have problems with hating on Scar and Grian disproportionately and now that it's rearing it's ugly head, they blame YouTube and Reddit to absolve themselves of responsibility. Fandom is supposed to be fun!

GUYS I AM BEGGING YOU!

STOP FUMBLING THE LIFE SERIES OMG-

Genuinely we're not having another one after this if ya'll keep up with this bs

Just be nice oml, like team predictions are all fun and games until you force people to be together because of your deranged fantasy land that you've created in your head in which everything has to go your way, and has to follow your structure.

No because if pearl wants to team with Scott and Cleo again pearl can team with Scott and Cleo again.

If scar wants to team with Grian you shouldn't be making it into a "oh them again"

BE HAPPY Y'ALL ARE GETTING A SERIES OMG

the life series family tree only gets more convoluted every season. like, it is so bad, but in a funny way.

I mean, limited life is the reason why most of it is like that, but with Joel and Gem now being 'Family' in an unspecified way its only worse.

[fierysnowy]

IM COMPILING SOME QUOTES THIS WILL BE EDITED AS I WATCH MORE OF THE NEW SEASON

-"now that was sub-one intelligence mate"

-"die first? more like die-monds"

-"tiny little sweat droplets have formed on my tiny little pits"

-"now i'm doing a skizz" "i hate it when i'm made into a verb!" "now i'm skizz-in' it!"

-"like jesus, we'll make it work" (MUMBO JUMBO???????)

-"our shafts are really little" (i almost missed this one)

-"i can offer you a dead cow?" "that's horrible! that's horrible of you!" "yeah that was horrible (of me)"

I loved the documentry type segment at the start of her episode

also, i love the fact that Scar, the person who won the last full season, teamed up with the only two people who have been first out (thus far)

also, gem and joel team up, lets goooo

[fierysnowy]

So, y'know the Mumbo vs Xb lawsuit? If the iron spilliage is brought up in court as a potential health risk, i think itd be funny if Mumbo's defense was something like; food is supposed to have iron in it. Type thing, because he wouldnt be wrong

If you ever struggle to make a monster for your fantasy world, just take two random animals and cobine them in the most horrific way you can. For example: A bearded Dragon and a Goat. Make it look horrifying

I wish selkies were used more as a concept. Doesnt even have to be a seal, like, just imagine your group of protags with a horse. Like, free rides and stuff, and they dont even need to pay for horse parking, or deal with horse theft. They need to enter a bar but it doesnt allow horses? Well, the horse can skin itself alive to become human and enter the bar with the companions. The worse version of a centaur
