cringetober day 2: self insert

ocs from a mcrp :] cvwoop [the first] on the left and @daylovejoy ‘s ghost!day

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

i have been meaning to draw baby seren for some time. I sure hope nothing bad happens to this squishy teenager

[thepikachusorcerer]

The cvp tag is my oc btw . It a small magic axolotl who happens to be the failed clone/ressurection of another guy. it loves very much but also sees the horrors on a regular basis and has negative emotional regulation

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

.. it is so hard to properly gender your old sona that didn't get the pronouns dlc

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

LOVE THE WIP YOU SHARED IM ROTATING IT. When you are reminded that things aren't universal constants...

THANK U DEEPLY,,, I appreciate it :]].. when things are not universal constants!!!

I've been meaning 2 make Choices to make protovwoop and clonevwoop more distinguishable. they wear different clothes (proto has a disc sweater + clonevwoop has the lil cape) but pre-canon for both of them is just the purple wifi sweater.

proto — has a slimmer build, Averagely Wooper Shaped. no pupils. very oval head. probably smaller, unsure to what degree. hands are optional, they summons them from the same space as Inventory . they can be stored as NBT data in a bucket.

clone vwoop — Built like a bag of sand. bigger eyes w/ white pupils. has more of a Two circles squished together head shape. hands are persistent and always Doing Something. about one block sized / ~3 ft roughly, but this is largely inconsistent. can NOT be put in a bucket

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

The #Lore between the sibs is that Vwoop has no conflict resolution other than stabbing people, is fed up w/ its living conditions after coming to terms with Seren's failed clones being its kin and they get into a big fight and Vwoop has no idea how to proceed so it leaves for ever. this is why they get angsty breakupcore songs

[ranvwoop]

Basically I have 5 guys and I am trying to pin down where exactly they were pre-putting them in situations. And two of them are the same guy. That's vwoop cinematic universe ocs

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

ProtoVwoop is supposed to be less naive and always sort of wanting to get the upper hand in social situations compared to cVwoop but. they're also far more of a kicked puppy once they really get in situations. I think they just don't externalize violence the way that Vwoop (+ Seren) do. They do a bit as is minecraft-typical but they will not physically get into fights or anything. I don't think they really like believe that fighting doesn't work and we should all be friends or something but it's just not inclined to, except maybe shooting something as a warning.

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

the root problem IS Seren since he did raise both of them. especially so w/ protovwoop they have very similar characterization like they are Siblings Siblings (tm). they run on the same engine w different packages. he kind of came about to give protovwoop some sort of offscreen motivation and then proto's possessiveness + toxic aromanticism wins sort of informed The way he is. They learned this from somewhere, as well as the logistics of being A Mob Kid and like. pushed to sentience to be Somebody's Silley Animal Companion.

In a "nothing bad happens to Seren" AU cVwoop wouldn't actually exist, but if the three had ended up sticking together somehow everyone involved would be even worse

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

VWOOP can you tell me about serens story 👀

HI I would love to tell you about my little guy…

So. First of all, he is from minecraft :3. He is very meta about Minecraft, bc well. I like this sort of a framing :]. And uses a lot of headcanons about the Minecraft multiverse and servers and how the game is structured. Out of universe, this kind of translates to being a wannabe modder. 

He goes through three stages of life basically. He hangs out around a traditional server that devolves into violent conflict, in the way that servers sometimes do. Enough horrors happen that he just escapes. He does not identify a life before this. I don’t have a full cast for here yet but he does know a foil to himself named Requiem, and a meek redstoner with a mech-type. It’s supposed to be like a mid-sized SMP, and I think he held some sort of power before it devolved into The Horrors. (The supporting characters don’t come up again to him, though Req exists sort of like . As an allegory to him. In my brain.)

So, he dips. Without knowing what else to do, he becomes an adventurer traveling from server to server. Mechanically like a Wandering Trader. I have a servers in general headcanon that most servers can be left either though proper server navigation via communicator/portals/what have you, or you can walk far enough with the intention to leave and then end up in the realm of singleplayer and LAN worlds. You can return to your own singleplayer world/s easily through VIbes, but finding the same small servers/LAN worlds over and over on foot is difficult. He is primarily traveling on foot. He passes through a lot of servers and does not like what he sees at all, a lot of them devolving into similar senseless violence that happened to himself and his friends. He’s especially bothered by roleplay canonicity that goes beyond the regular mechanics Of Minecraft, like death/ghosts or giving power to random things in the world (like the Crimson Egg, HC Big Moon, stuff like that). He tries to learn more about the world through his adventuring, going beyond just being a trader of sorts to go on an Uncovering Secrets of the Universe quest. He starts to follow the research of other people who’ve done so, and basically ends up in modded minecraft.

It’s worth noting that at this point in his life, he’s also a smug little fool. He’s into the glory and the adrenaline of adventuring. He wants to go dungeoncrawling and almost die. This is fun and epic and he’s showing off.

Notably, in his modded adventurers, he picks up a questionably-implemented little creature. It’s some sort of unofficial cobblemon expansion with more Minecraft themed forms, like Nether and End themed. It’s incredibly experimental and he’d never come across worlds with it again. He names an ender wooper Vwoop and they’re his little companion, because adventuring is nice, but sort of lonely, and you can bucket them like an axolotl so its convenient. One day they start talking. He does not know enough about cobblemon to dispute this, but it can hold a weapon, so they’re adventuring partners now…?

And adventuring partners they are. They’re having a nice time. They’re some of the adventurers ever, even. Seren does the heavy lifting, but Vwoop is also here. Seren is forming new hypothesises about the world based on what he’s seeing. He’s come to some conclusions about the will of players shaping the world. (Vwoop asserts this isn’t that bad of a thing – he started talking to Vwoop like a person, and Vwoop became a person, in the style of mob NPCs/kids. Is that so bad?). Regardless, they are out here having a generally nice time. Showing off. Discovering things, pawning off rare items, having near-death experiences. Seren’s not afraid of his near-death experiences, he’s a confident respawner, but he is a bit nervous for Vwoop, considering they ARE just some creature.

Until he gets his own canon horrors! They’re exploring. They come across a dungeon. Cion lives here, and is NOT a fan of adventurers who believe that they can just do whatever they want. He was hibernating. Cion is significantly OP at this state in time, as he is actively cheating, and attacks the two. He’s easy on Vwoop, since they seem just to be going along with Seren, but leave Seren with a pretty bad withered scar on his shoulder where Cion claws him. You are not supposed to get scars in Minecraft. Seren dislikes this wholeheartedly. He respawns later on (Cion lets them go, he just wants to make a point) and it is still there. 

Seren writes this off as a skill issue. He got scared and let getting hurt mean something to him. He would not do it again. He solidifies his conspiracy theory of canonicity. He doesn’t have any real desire to settle down, so it’s not hard to try to keep his identity insular and not really latch on to anything hard enough that it would impact him. And this is his adventurer arc.

Somehow, Vwoop gets isekaid. I. I don’t know this part. I think Cion is involved again, but it’s not necessarily purposeful. Regardless, they are separated, and nobody likes this. Seren gets his emo arc. He tries to use what he’s learned about modding, and how some people were able to alter the universe, to somehow translate this to necromancy. To bring back his little guy. To do this he also settles down into a very small LAN world, and essentially gets super depressed. 

He is not very good at necromancy. (Vwoop is, also, not even dead! He doesn’t know this though). Instead, he creates another creature, which he also calls Vwoop. As it’s sort of a clone, he just presumes that it has memory loss for the first little while. He was also wholeheartedly not intending to be a parent. He doesn’t know how to be a parent. Honestly I’m not entirely sure how to title their relationship ooc, Vwoop considers him to be its sibling and Seren does not label it at all. However, he does have to raise it, because it has fully not seen the world before. And he does so very poorly. They live above a small shop set up for other travelers and trade modded items that he’d collected in his adventuring days, which he considers to be over. Instead he spends his time doing totally ethical science to try to crack modding, getting very into the idea of being able to control the physical world himself. Especially as his paranoia of the horrors of self-destructing server communities grow. He wants to be more than just a player and not be subject to such things. Enforcing his belief is proximity to the aforementioned cheater, Cion, as they basically become neighbours, and this kind of spirals.

They stay in a small community mostly comprised of people coming and going, and also Cion, much to Seren’s displeasure. Cion enjoys poking around in his personal life. Seren’s not doing great. He can muster customer service, and that’s pretty much it. Vwoop is increasingly aware about the nature of its existence, how depressed Seren is that it’s not *the* Vwoop, and also that it longs to explore for itself. While he trades modded items, it trades books, collecting accounts of other players’ experiences and stories and mythologies about other worlds. This drives them further apart, because it absolutely embodies Seren’s fears about the corrosiveness of servers. Eventually things come to a head with Vwoop figuring out more and more of his totally ethical science, and other creatures that he’s made and disposed of in the process of trying to perfect Vwoop. Eventually it makes the decision that it needs to live for itself, after they get into a fight (a physical one, on account of... Vwoop.). So it leaves quietly one night. (... after stealing his identity. It swipes his communicator on the way out.)

He does not know what to do now.

oh i forgot i just actually really like thinking abt Minecraft as a medium / Minecraft worldbuilding . All of my guys are about Minecraft as a medium

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

vwoops love violence and killing (nondescript continuation of yesterdays protovwoop + clonevwoop)

“Set your spawn really quick,” Vwoop said, producing a bed from eir inventory and setting it down. “I, um, I need you to do something for me.”

The other Vwoop frowned, but approached the bed and took out their communicator, holding it over the bed’s NBT chip. Their communicator wasn’t as cool as Vwoop’s – it was just a solid slab, with what looked like a keyboard able to be pulled out of side. It looked like there were stickers on the backside of it, but Vwoop couldn’t make them out.

It scraped its axe against the stone of the cave wall, a little grin creeping onto its face. It waited for its cue – the beeping communicator – before taking a swing at the other axolotl. They jerked back as they could feel the displaced air from the backswing, so it wasn’t as clean as Vwoop had been hoping — that, and the fact that ey were just a smidge taller than them —, but ey made contact anyways.

It was not built with flesh in mind. It was a bit cumbersome for it, often tending to wield it similarly to some sort of club. It had even engraved “Woodchipper” across the neck in Galactic, being the first name it could think of to differentiate it from its roommate’s set of tools. Sharpness was among the other runes it had carved into the head later on, but overall it lacked efficiency.

It tore the other Vwoop’s head right from their body regardless. It popped right off as the rest of them rapidly dissolved into grey particles. They floated a short distance before dissipating.

Out of the corner of its eye Vwoop could see the other respawn, shaking out their newly reformed body. They turned to Vwoop and whined something that it didn’t care to pay attention to — it scooped up the severed head and brought it close to its face to see.

The head was a bit smaller than Vwoop’s own, that assessment was correct. It was a bit lighter. (Vwoop had handled its own head many times — for decorative purposes, mostly) The otherworldly sheen in their eyes had dissolved, just leaving two fully black, beady little things in their place. Looking up close, with Vwoop’s hands to contrast, the surface of their face looked a bit paler in comparison.

The real point of interest was their gills, which looked even worse up close. The purple colour had faded into a grey, with seemingly a blue gradient at the tips. There were indents where they must have been ripped, or maybe the fungus did indeed eat at them — Vwoop couldn’t really tell. When Vwoop ran its thumb over the left set, pieces flaked off before crumbling into the same dusty particles that their body had. It carefully picked off a strand of blue… stuff that had been wrapped around the filament, and cringed at the familiar feeling of sculk against its skin. 

The skull was pulled from its grip by its living owner, who huffed and puffed out its cheeks. The hand and the skull both disappeared, to what must’ve been their inventory. 

“Do you mind?” They asked, taking a step back from Vwoop. “Did you just steal my face?”

Uhhh seren Vwoop and um um the other guys from your ocs !!

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

(Do however many you want live I sent a bunch)

Hi Adam. Thanks for the asks sorry it took seven years (Three months)

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Vwoop: Pals. Pal time. It would not really pick specifics it feels so strongly all of the time anything positive (and, atp, any nice time that they have with their friends that doesn’t involve mortal peril) is their best memories. Seren: Definitely travelling. For some reason stuck in my head is a little anecdote of them and protoVwoop reconvening after checking out a small civilization, and nagging pVwoop after it had purchased some sort of MCYT paraphernalia. What do you mean trading cards are an investment and would sell well in Hypixel, we don’t even go to Hypixel?? Hypixel coins are worthless?? And he does not win the argument. But he remembers them fondly.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Vwoop: A nonanswer but specifically because it is not saying anything. It can always get worse ( ; ω ; ). Seren: Before he’d settle down, they were an adventurer along with protoVwoop. He thought that he’d found a dungeon, but it was the home of a part-dragon guy who was hibernating there. He was not very happy to see them. Seren was convinced that dragon-guy was trying to kill him (and Vwoop), but he wasn’t a very good fighter. (He wasn’t – he was trying to prove a point). He got pretty badly hurt, and still has magic-wither-related issues due to the injuries. (And then meeting this guy ended up facilitating everything else that ever went wrong with the latter half of his life and the disappearance of both Vwoops. And then they became neighbours.)

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Vwoop: Complicated. If it thinks too much about it it feels bad :(. Seren: I don’t know if he actually has parents. He might’ve just spawned in one day. Mnecraft rules.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

Vwoop: I have incredibly complex emotions about my little guy . It’s my littlest guy atm. Because I am a sap I have such dear memories of being silly with my friends through it and getting to figure out fun and interesting relationships with all of their little guys. It is like a friend to me. This is not a straight answer of what I like mechanically, which would probably be that it just an endearing little guy and pretty believable, I think? Most of its traits kind of connect to like, a bigger core trait that it has, which are pretty much being inexperienced at life, ruled by its emotions, and a love for people. It’s pretty solid and consistent and I think I do a not bad job writing for it :]. Seren: I FEEL BAD FOR HIM I PUT HIM IN THE TORTURE LABYRINTH… He’s a horrible parental figure because he genuinely did not sign up for this. He thinks he can game the system (he is the only one who knows what system he’s even talking about) and is terrified of losing himself to Mine Craft Mechanics. It doesn’t matter though, because he has to do a full backtrack of his whole life philosophy to try and do necromancy, which doesn’t even work, in part because the guy he’s trying to necromance isn’t even dead. He’s just created some kid. And he can’t even have that, ‘cause it decides its not having any of his over-protective, paranoid nonsense. 

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

Looks directly into the camera. Too much. I don’t draw Seren enough but I draw Vwoop plenty.

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

I can’t actually kill off any of my little guys because I’m way too soft and get too attached. They can die in, like, instances of them like death games and whatnot I’m not sensitive to that, but in their main continuities they r here for ever and ever. However there’s an honourable mention to protoVwoop, who I think is in some sort of a limbo state wandering underground searching after cDay. I think it got slowly transformed into something of an (in)human sculk shrieker to xe’s Literally Becoming The Warden. Effectively dead! Subject to change for funsies (and because it’s determinant on what exactly happened to cDay, who is not my little guy to make decisions about). It has completely different sculk-related-rules to web2 I thiiink? but cVwoop would not be comfortable with this knowledge. For the record.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Considering phobias are like, specifically irrational, I don’t think so? They both are very afraid but they’re pretty rational fears, except maybe the fears they share about being used by higher powers. It’s more of a conspiracy theory for Seren, that servers are like, entities that are inherently confining and that if he isn’t careful he will Become a Roleplayer. Essentially. And I don’t think that Vwoop’s god-fear is like, severe enough to be a phobia. Most of Vwoop’s other fears are just reactions to the mortal peril. OH I THOUGHT OF ONE NVM. It has an irrational nervousness about people in Its Space if its not watching. This is waved if only if it trusts you enough. Other than this it Will start to fight you if you don’t get out. It has a whole Thing about breaking and entering. [<- thinks about its relationships in which it does not care. living with finch + just straight up having a shared storage / considering itself perpetually invited to cwl’s and just showing up + going OUR base with aem in a diff rp... :3.]

[selfcontainedunivcrse]

my mob-kid -> player headcanons are wholly built off of Oneshot's taming schtick. Which is also why the first Vwoop is denoted as ProtoVwoop and also why this blog is named selfcontaineduniverse because I'm always thinking about oneshot. It's a good video game

[ranvwoop]

also my two guys who have the same name are very different and it is funny to me now. I straight up forgot how much of a little rascal protovwoop was. cvwoop (2) would NEVER
