see I haven’t thought abt empires in so long that I forgot that Scott has a suicide problem no matter what series he’s in

I know it's more or less a meme atp to start the "Scott killing himself" timer on every SMP but it really is such a strong running theme in all of his storylines that he actively tries to make into storylines.

I think at its core Scott doesn't consider this trope to be about suicide, he considers it a sacrifice or "tragedy" at best. And that makes it interesting when it falls into the hands of freaks such as myself who are very adamant about suicide being suicide, because his suicides are more often than not framed as a Good Thing -- very fun and insane to unpack.

I think in a past life Scott would've been really into seppuku lowkey

#asks #CW suicide #it's also what I think along with the whole aeor thing inspires so much #religious-fuelled imagery specifically when it comes to scott fanon #he's got that Jesus grindset. Or alternatively any other religious text #that explores suicide as a noble thing to do in order to serve others or God #one of the things I found most interesting about satanism was its heavy emphasis on #the importance of an individual in direct opposition to Christian teachings of selflessness #I think consciously or not alot of Scott's writing reflects the enforced selflessness values of religion -- his whole thing #with pearl in WL is actually a pretty prime example where it's more forgiveness for the sake of forgiveness because that's the #right thing to do. Rather than necessarily what either party wants #Holy fuck this was about the Minecraft YouTuber. Um anyway from what I understand #Scott was raised Catholic which would explain alot of why this theme keeps popping up lmao #correct me if I'm wrong tho I only know cc lore in passing
