#My first comic was about an egg in minecraft

[phrandallanton]

How long have you been drawing? Your art is very cool!!

thank you! （＾⊆＾）I've been drawing ever since I came out of my mother stomach, but I'll say it became my main hobby around 2012-2014.

the earliest build i have from my very first game, 'Mr. Waffle Lover'

wat da freak ... im about to make Three posts in a row ?? impossible... so Hi. in case u havent seen my Last Big Post, one of my first projects was a game called 'Mr. Waffle Lover'. it started in early 2014 until late 2017 and it went through Tons of wildly different iterations. and also, if u read da last post youd know i lost nearly All of those builds of the game.

Despite losing like, 3 years of my own history, ive managed to find a few builds from multiple iterations of my game, with this one being the earliest iteration i have. this is the Third iteration of the game's development.. and there isnt a whole lot to say about it. it is a Very Basic, Very Primitive platformer made by an 11 year old. this build in particular has only Two levels . i Think more were made at some point, but it's hard to remember. at one point, i made a ""mobile version demo"" of the game for the tablet i had at the time (the game did not work on it), and thats the version u see in the video i posted. For Some Reason, i decided to strip any other level that may have existed in the game and just made it a demo even though i was the Only Person who could play the game.. so i dont have much from this iteration. i Do have an Earlier build that i put on github, but there isnt a whole lot of differences to this demo version.

Anyways, i think, for the rest of this post, imma go a little in depth about the Origins of this game and what it was actually Supposed to be .. click the Read Me thingy if u Dare !!!

So, it all started in 2013 . i was a Bored little creature who liked to draw things and was Deep into Minecraft for the Xbox 360. and one day i created a little comic with a character called 'Mr. Waffle Lover'.. And He Looked Like This:

That's Right , my very first OC is Just a skin from one of the minecraft xbox 360 edition skin packs. this was the skin i played as a lot back then, and 'Mr. Waffle Lover' was my self insert in the comic. why is he called 'Mr. Waffle Lover' you may ask? because i liked to eat waffles a lot. that became his main character trait. Eventually, when the game became A Thing, i would slowly change his design from just a copy of a minecraft skin, first giving him heterochromia and Gloves which spawned TNT, then later giving him a yellow shirt to match with his love for waffles, and then i just make him a Girl (but That is a story for Another Day . .. )

Anyways , on my birthday in 2014 i got a windows 8 laptop, and then in october i learned about construct 2 and decided i Needed to make a video game. ever since i was a fetus ive always wanted to make a video game,, with one of the earliest ideas for a game i remember having is when i was like 5 and wanted to make 'New Sonic the Hedgehog Wii' (a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii but featuring multiple colored Sonics).

ANYWAYS , one of the first video games i ever made was Mr. Waffle Lover......... Well Actually, Technically that is not true, as a few months before i tried using some Random in-browser game program that i dont remember the name of to make something called the 'Egg Game'... but it never went anywhere beyond me putting a stock Egg image into the program and then giving up.

my initial inspiration for making a game about the Mr. Waffle Lover character was when i played a game called 'Ms. Splosion Man' on the xbox 360. i thought the game play was interesting but i got stuck at one of the puzzles so i was like 'I Want to make this game but Better and with MY character !'. And So, i thought of the idea of Waffle Lover having Gloves that spawn TNT that he uses to jump high like in Ms. Splosion Man....... but i never got to actually implement it until the 'mid 2015' build that i posted earlier... and i removed it entirely afterwards and just made the game a Basic 2D Platformer for awhile.

so yea. this game was supposed to be just a simple 2d platformer featuring my sort of self insert OC based off a minecraft skin. there wasnt really much to it conceptually... just wanted to make a video game! that's all my ideas were at the time.. the only "Story" this game has is 'Waffle Lover gets his Waffles stolen by some Scientist People and he needs to Stop Them !!!!'. the game eventually got some sort of story over time... but for now all u need to know is that this game is A Game that I Wanted To Make. it doesnt get purer than that.

with the first iteration of my game being my first game Ever, i had No Idea how to do things. all of the small sprites were stretched out to fit the HD screen resolution, making everything blurry. the gameplay was Very Basic and the levels were simple. the HUD didnt even stay centered on the screen... instead it used the 'pin behavior' to be pinned on the player object (which did not work and the HUD would move around the object). And the worst aspect of it was that i did Not know how to make layouts in construct 2 use other event sheets or Objects from other layouts..... meaning every layout (meaning every level) uses Completely Different programming And objects .... Not Only That , but i only had the Trial version of construct 2 at that time.... so i could only use 100 'events'... meaning i could only put So Much code in the game before i reached the limit (and with every level using its own separate events for everything, i ran out of events Pretty Quickly and couldnt make any more levels.

I So Desperately Wish i could show that first iteration of the game with you. it was Very Weird and Bad but it was so Lovely. to say the least.. it was quite the learning experience ! I can Vividly remember me making the very first layout in the game,, with it just being the Waffle Lover sprite moving around a white background and a bunch of badly placed collision objects. it was a Sight to Behold . But Sadly... when i decided to completely redo the game, i deleted the whole project file for it, and its pretty much Lost forever now. the only remains are some random sprites from it i still have... other than that there Was a trailer i made for it once and i Think i released a demo for it once... but both of those are Long gone now.

anyways. for the second iteration of the game i decided to make it an ""HD"" version of the game, using higher resolution sprites and a 3d animated version of Waffle Lover.... However this 3d version is Actually just a minecraft skin of him made in Mine-imator, an Old 3D animating software Exclusively made for making minecraft animations. So , the game had a bunch of bad tilesets and a badly animated prerendered sprite of a minecraft skin for its player character. i dont remember much from that point of the game's development other than it did not last very long and it looked Funny. i dont even think it got past one level... as i struggled with making high resolution art (i only had ms paint and construct 2's built in image editor, so, yea). i Think everything from that era of the game's development is Gone, HOWEVER i THINK i might have the files for the Mine-imator animations Somewhere... maybe. i Think i saw the files on my old laptop for some mine-imator project but i was unable to open them and i dont know if i saved them anywhere so. Idk.

and now, this leads us to the Third iteration of the game... which is the one i showed in this post. as you can see in the video, i finally figured out how to make pixel art look not blurry. i also figured out how to make different layouts use the same event sheets. i even figured out how to make a HUD... incredible ! other than all of that, there's not much to say about it. it's just not as silly looking as the earlier iterations were... and its not really Fun to play. its not even all that janky.. its just basic. i worked on it for awhile, but then i gave up on it and moved onto the mid 2015 iteration.. and the rest of the game's history is a story for Another Time..

if there's anything i can say about this old game.. it's that you can Definitely see how much ive grown since then. whoever is reading this, i Really hope this is not your first introduction to my work.... cus my stuff nowadays is Insane compared to this... a lot has happened in the like, 8 years since ive started game development. and i have so much stories i want to share,,, i hope i can keep sharing those stories with you. oh and also, if you Really have never heard of my work before... um.... Play UNITRES Dreams on Newgrounds dot com. LOL!!!!!!

That is All i want to talk about for today i think. I Think. hope my posts are comprehensible to u ! Oh , And Before i forget , the build of the game in the video i posted is in the ProjectWaffle google doc archive ... and the Earliest Build i have is on github. check it out If U Wish !

There’s something in the boatem hole.

So I LOVE cosmic horror and have been seeing a few posts about the boatem hole being alive/having an influence on the boatem crew, and I am In Love with the concept..... I wanted to make some sort of monster design for it and then. Accidentally made a whole comic! What if something hatched from the egg that wasn’t a dragon? Dumb stupid rambling under da cut

SO I have some headcanon about regular Minecraft’s end and void being tied to each other. The void, endermen, and the enderdragon are all the same thing, but manifested in different ways. I’ve got some more complex stuff that ties into a creation story for all the different dimensions but the long-short is that these End Things are made of negative energy. Not like. Bad vibes. But like energy’s equivalent of antimatter, if antimatter was magical and adhered to 0 logic for the sake of my cool epic minecraft worldbuilding LOL. The end is filled with this Magic Energy, and it can create a physical form over a long enough time (but it’s easier to have a starting point, like humans being turned into endermen). That’s the process that created the enderdragon! And when grian took the egg, it held that same negative magic (it isn’t super... corporeal? Which is why it’ll teleport around if you don’t hold it gently enough)

When boatem breaks through bedrock, that force is invited into their village. It grows stronger with everything they “feed” to the void; and once the egg returns permanently to grian, it’s able to start creating a physical form within it. The egg stops teleporting when you touch it, and eventually, it hatches into the Something that’s down there! It can’t stray too far from the void for now, but as it’s fed, it’ll be able to wander farther

It’s taken on pieces of the things that fell into the void! I do have like an actual Design underneath that silhouette lmao. It draws mostly on grian’s wings, the llamas from the first meeting, and scar’s....... scars (I can’t really think of other standout attributes of the boatem crew I wanted to include? It def had to have elements of scar just bc of how many times he’s fallen in, and the wings let me go for a biblically accurate angel look which I love, but I’m lost beyond that :[ if you have ideas PLEASE!! DO TELL!!!)

Anyways!!! I’m making a tag for this. Concept/vague au?? Bc I have a few other ideas for it I wanna post down the line >:0

Back in late 2019 i had never even heard of twitch, I was on minecraft youtube watching hermitcraft, i had just recently found this funny video series on youtube by Wilbur Soot where he challenged his viewers live. Back then I thought Technoblade was just another reoccurring viewer of Wil’s! Thats so absurd to think back on!

Early 2020 I watched tommys vids in youtube where he ran around being purposefully annoying twoard the dteam, speedrunning challange, yt vids became yt vods, and he would mention checking out twitch, so would wilbur. By July of 2020 I was following wilbur on twitch, by September I had followed tommy, October I had followed tubbo.

Soon enough I was following a whole new chain of creators on a new platform, invested in their story. I hadn’t yet really registered that their timezines matter much since i was accustomed ti watching vods. I *STILL* regret having missed the pog2020 vs swag2020 election because of this! I still regret that!! God!

November 16th came and went, I was enamored with all the art that came out because of it, then Wolf the witch, then known as “channel without a name” had uploaded their animation of the 16th in the 20th. I was there, in that live chat, and after the premiere, I had made friends. I didnt think that would last, but here i am, almost two years later, and most of the “premier gang” members are still active we still talk regularly.

We watched origins together and fell in love with the vod, learned how to install mods and use fabrics launcher! I installed minecraft java edition fir the first time ever because of this, we played minecraft together, we branched out and screenshared to eachother when one would play any other game.

We had a channel specifically for when some damned streamer would go live to scream about it and summarize the premise to each other if we had missed it. By the time Tales Of the SMP rolled around we would all sit in vc together and watch as someone screen shared.

We’ve had three “seasons” of our origins smp, with shops snd community houses. I remember building water tunnels for our resident merling, and my friend would make awnings for me since i was an enderian and couldnt leave the house when it rained. We pulled pranks on eachother, my whole wheat farm was replaced with carrots, me replaced a friends house with jack-o-lanters and acacia wood!

I found other common interests with friends, we found we coult talk about other things other than minecraft incredibly easily, we made comics together, played new games together, suggested music together, celebrated together, we grieved the death of a fucking music bot together! I still miss groovy, we had so many late night ham sessions with groovy.

We still talk about c!tommy, c!tubbo, a friend makes animations about the eggpire and recently got new egg lore. It feels good after havjng seen and heard them hold on to it for so long, and thats what we’ve all done. Holding on, i guess.

I really have had so much fun, playing with my art style along these two years, creating little ficlets for my friends about characters i adore, going insane about new animations from the community. Ive had a personal au about clingyduo for well over a year now, maybe even two years? No idea, but god its been so fun, fullfilling even.

My vocabulary has deffo been changed, example A is right there, “deffo” was ages ago and hasn’t left me since. I dint think dsmp is going to leave me even if i stop interacting with it (which i don’t think I will just yet)

I love all the results I’ve personally gained from being a part of this.

Thank you so much to the streamers, the artists, the musicians, *some* of the clips channels, everyone who wrote character analysis, wrote fics, or just screamed in twitch chat or posted in the youtube comment section or live tweeted/ live blogged any moment they loved.

Thank you to the fanbase, more than anything, for making this place so loved.

I’ve been knee deep in dsmp lore streams and I just want to ramble about it

Dream smp lore is so good, it’s so good!!! Not only is the story itself just fascinating, but how it’s presented so uniquely through the medium of minecraft of all things is just so cool. One of my favorite parts of the lore is seeing how everyone on the smp has their own “style” they present it in, and watching them find the way they find the most enjoyment in is so cool. Literally no two streamer’s lore stream quite like each others and it’s just incredible! It just speaks to the flexibility of roleplay as an artistic medium and really shows everyone’s individual personalities. 

Wilbur was dramatic as hell and wrote eloquent speeches. He started a drug operation under the guise as a country, and it lead to a revolution in which he was able to explore the spiral of a man who loses control of everything he had built. And after his arc and he wanted a break from the server? He created ghostbur, an amnesic comic relief with just enough touch of tragedy that he is still able to make heartbreaking monologues when he wants to.

Tommy is able to run around with his friends and cause as much chaos to his heart’s extent, but there is so much more than meets the eye. He is incredibly social and isn’t afraid to start conflict with a lot of people, bringing them into the roleplay. He doesn’t back down from storytelling either. His character goes through terrible situations and he fully explores the trauma that comes from those experiences. His character goes against the “stereotypical” trauma I see alot in media; instead of being shy or scared he’s reactionary, he’s angry, he’s violent, he’s depressed. I’m actually really impressed with the heavy subject matter this 17 year old teen has managed to portray (I’ve connected with it quite personally at certain points), while still being able to keep the light hearted fun that’s so intrinsic to his personality. 

Tubbo isn’t really interested in serious lore as much. Even in dire moments he tells jokes and just has fun. So, in his recent lore, he just streams as normal while putting mysterious writing on screen that he doesn’t acknowledge or have to explain, which I think is just a genius work around for him to participate in lore. He still has his dedicated lore streams sometimes, and when he is in the acting zone he has some of the most powerful moments out of everyone on the server.

Ranboo, while having stake in the greater smp lore, is much more character focused. He presents his lore through long monologues and fucking heart-wrenching voice acting. He loves working in themes of horror and causing a specific feeling in the viewer. So he chooses specific music as a themes for events/characters and creates visual queues in his overlays to draw out that desired reaction. He also values improve a LOT, if something unexpected comes up he just runs with it and he has made huge changes to his lore as early as 30 min before a stream.

Technoblade, while arguably one of the most powerful people on the server, prefers a more light-hearted yet dramatic approach to lore. When Dream was at his house looking for Tommy, Techno had no problem joking around and making fun of him for being homeless. He tore down an entire nation on the server and had so much fun doing it! He’s more of an antagonist than a true villain in my opinion. And lets not forget how dedicated he is to the game, he’s cracked at the craft. He spends hours grinding and creating farms on the smp, for amazing pay offs (his several vault reveals, the withers, etc), most of which weren’t even on stream!

Karl Jacobs is extremely social, so he created Tales from the smp as a way to involve TONS of people in lore while exploring the past and future of the server (it was also a way for viewers who weren’t that well versed in dsmp lore to join and not have to worry about it!). And through this premise, he took the opportunity to develop his own character on the smp; making an incredibly tragic story of a time traveler trying to save his home while slowly loosing his memories. Not to mention the beautifully shot cutscenes of the Inbetween and the Other Side. He includes so many people behind the scenes as well, collabing with other members on lore, hiring building teams and people to make intros and credit scenes, and promoting fanart and fansongs from the community!

Quackity explores his lore through heavily scripted events and amazingly shot cut scenes. While the way he expresses his lore comes at the cost of improv, the payoff of the visuals and story is well worth it! The shots he makes of the smp is downright gorgeous, no to mention he’s the first person to include irl footage in his lore (not counting facecams)! He’s not afraid of thoroughly examining his own character, being one of the only people I can think of that shows us “past events” leading up to something that has already happened.

Badboyhalo, Antfrost, Ponk, Skeppy, Captain Puffy, Punz, Awesamdude, Hannahxxrose all work together on shared lore and the payoff is amazing! By introducing the Egg, a constant antagonistic force that constantly pulls on character’s relationships with each other, everyone is able to stream together to battle for or against the egg! There’s also plenty of room for people to do individual lore that's more intimate to their respective character. They spend hours changing vines, putting up posters, slowly shaping the smp in a way that makes it exciting to watch streams to see just what has changed everyday. Because there’s so many people necessary to tell the egg’s story, it does comes at the cost of time (the egg has been around FOREVER). However, they all work together super hard and I just admire their commitment to the story they’re trying to tell!

And Sam! He has several different “Modes” his character is in (and an entirely separate character, Sam Nook) that he gets to explore lore with. He’s a terrifying warden, he’s a money motivated businessman, he’s a conflicted lover, he’s a traumatized victim of the egg, and just so much more. Through having so many different “roles” in the rp he gets to explore relationships and plotlines with a whole array of people. Not to mention he’s absolutely cracked at redstone and has some of the most impressive builds on the server.

And Puffy! So much of her lore is calling into question the morality of the server and really makes you step back and think critically about the characters. Her character also has, in my opinion, one of the most interesting relationships with Dream, the main antagonist of the entire server, which is just fascinating to watch unfold. Not to mention she’s one of the first people to start exploring the backstory of her character!

George doesn’t exactly do lore. In fact he’s slept through so much of it it’s become a meme. And you know what? That mad man took that and ran with it. He explains his absence in the story by having his character literally being asleep through it, creating mystery where there used to just be an absence. He’s able to goof off with his friends and have borderline nonsensical streams, then at the end sucker punch the audience emotionally by “waking up” and have the viewers question just what was real and what wasn’t?

The smp has the freedom for people who want more independent lore to be able to explore their character’s that way as well!

Hbomb, Connereatspants, and Purpled don’t have a lot of lore on the smp, generally only coming on to have fun with everyone, but when they do have their moments it unfolds in very interesting ways!

Sapnap, Eret, and Schlatt maybe aren’t as active as some other people, but when they are on they actively participate in lore and have lasting impacts on the story (Ex: Eret’s betrayal, Sapnap’s visit to dream in the prison, Schlatt becoming president).

Philza mostly does his own thing, improving the server or making some bomb ass builds. He has incredibly devastating roles in lore (killing wilbur, blowing up L’manberg for the final time, starting the syndicate with Techno), but he also has quieter moments that speak to the depth his character has, such as fishing with fundy or reminiscing about his dead son and how it went so wrong. Like Techno, he doesn’t like to take lore completely seriously, often laughing no matter what’s happening or teasing chat after something big goes down, but his character is solid with a lot of potential for future lore.

Foolish has only started on his character and its already super interesting. The hints at his dark past as a “god of death” and his current conflict with the egg are intriguing as fuck. Not to mention the MASSIVE builds he does for everyone, helping to progress their lore as well.

Fundy has a lot of freedom with his character to participate however much he wants in lore. While generally he’s a trickster who loves to prank people he has enough tragedy build into his backstory he’s able to break the viewer’s heart with a flip of a switch. Not to mention his recent, almost surreal, stream that explored his character’s disturbing dreams that may or may not predict the future.

Niki is very character driven, exploring her character's grief of losing her best friend and her anger of being ignored in the very country she helped create. She has incredibly emotional moments, and even though she’s on her own building an underground city she still participates in other lore via teaming with jack manifold or the syndicate.

Jack Manifold’s lore is VERY character focused, and while he’s described his story as a “B plot that occasionally intersects with the main plot”, the story he tells is still fascinating. Being pushed aside not taken seriously his whole life, his character develops into a fun cartoony-esque villain who begs to be taken seriously, that has the depth of a truly conflicted person who is torn between wanting revenge on everyone who’s done him wrong and just wanting a friend.

Last but not least, the man himself, Dream. The most fascinating thing about his lore is that absolutely none of it is from his pov. All we know about his character is only from what we see from everyone else’s povs, and in his case it leads to a very intimidating villain! Not to mention, mans owns the damn server and yet has made himself the main antagonist! He is the only character I consider a “true villain” on the smp. His voice acting and writing is downright sinister. I could write a fucking essay on how his character’s obsession with power has led him to the point he thinks himself an unstoppable god

Everyone on this server is stunning and I love all of them!!!!!

AN IDEA POPPED INTO MY HEAD AFTER RANBOO VISITED DREAM

What if Ranboo kills Dream.

I know that sounds weird considering the guy has the backbone of a chocolate eclair but what if him hearing voices because far too much. And with Dream being the focus of his hallucinations, he just snaps and attacks him out of no where.

So like let me set a scene for y’all.

Dream basically goes a little insane inside his cell, not in a murderous way but a kinda broken way. Barely speaking during visits, starring at the clock and walking into the lava more and more. So Sam or Tommy suggest taking him out for a day on good behaviour.

Dream gets to come out of his cell and walk around the smp for a day but only if he’s accompanied by guards and volunteers. So Tommy, Tubbo, Sam, Quackity and others (Bad and Antfrost depending on the whole egg stuff) are there following Dream around telling him about everything that’s going on with the smp. But near the end of the day Dream asks if they can go to a place that’s quite and stuff so he can just appreciate the small things he doesn’t have in prison.

When they get there Dream sits a fair few paces ahead of everyone just looking at the land while the others chat amongst themselves. After a couple minutes Ranboo walks over to everyone without noticing Dream (he had no idea he was outside) and asks what’s going on.

Half way through Sam’s explanation, Ranboo notices Dream and can’t look away from him. From Ranboo’s point of view everything goes black but Dream and he starts to hear the voice yelling at him, getting louder and louder with each sentence. But in reality Dream is still vibing in his own little world.

Anyways Ranboo starts to get really really stressed and overwhelmed, making wonder man noises and shaking. The voice screams one last thing at him (somthing among the lines of traitor or psycho?) which causes Ranboo to snap and push past everyone towards Dream.

He starts shouting at him to get out of his head while the voice starts to whisper insults getting harsher the closer he gets. Dream meanwhile is like wtf is going on and stands up, putting his hands in the air trying to show that he’s peaceful. But because Dream wears a mask and you can’t see his mouth Ranboo thinks that Dream is actually saying it all to him.

This leads to Ranboo breaking to a new level and straight up slashing down with his sword, striking Dream in the face and torso. This of course kills him in one swing because he’s got no armour what’s so ever. So it’s already too late by the time the others run over to try and save him.

Everyone starts shouting, trying to understand wtf just happened while Dream leaves the game... then enters DreamXD.

Boom bam everyone is even more confused to see him (He’s confirmed to be a separate entity to Dream). Everyone shuts up when he teleports to the exact spot Dream died and begins to build a grave/momoral for him, placing his now broken mask into a item frame next to the grave stone. Once he’s done he turns around and faces Ranboo, who is currently distraught that he’s murdered someone, and just says:

DreamXD: It’s okay... it was about time he paid for his wrong doings...

Ranboo: I- I don’t know why I did that. I didn’t mean to, I didn’t want to-

DreamXD: I know.

DreamXD: This was unavoidable...

DreamXD: I suggest you check spawn...

Dream joined the game

DreamXD left the game.

End scene

Should I write this into a proper fanfic? Maybe? Idk, if anyone wants this turned into a proper fic I’ll write it up, or if anyone wants to write it themselves you are more than welcome but please credit me. I will more than likely be posting a comic of this (I already have it sketched out lol).

Edit: For anyone who whats to a fic of this I’m in the process of writing the first chapter. Part of it’s already posted over on AO3. It’s called Drowning in regret.

[doctorbrightside]

I’m depressed, so here are my Minecraft pets, their names, and my scheme to mess with my super cutesy friend. This is a very long post, but it’s very entertaining, at least to me.

This is a tale of sibling rivalry. We aren’t even siblings, but I’ve known her most of my life and she’s the closest thing to a sibling I’ll ever have. We started a Minecraft world together and I was going to take every opportunity to do something stupid to get out my impulsiveness. I always kept a bell in my hot bar already, and I was ready to cause some chaos.

When we first spawned, we wandered for forever, looking for a village to renovate. That’s when I found Beethocks. First born, most beloved. A little black and white cat I found while adventuring that I brought home. I asked my best friend what I should name him, because I didn’t know if a basic name like Socks wouldn’t do him justice or if a strange name like Beethoven would be pretentious. She said “do something in the middle,” which is a statement she will forever regret. Beethoven+Socks= Beethocks. This started my descent into “menace to society” status in our world.

I thought I lost Beethocks for a little bit, so I started the trip for another cat. It turns out, I had just sat him down and forgot where, but we won’t bring up my incompetence. When I got one, I named him Throckmorton, after my cousin, the skateboarder. She was not happy with this, and I vowed to make it so much worse.

Somewhere in the middle here, my friend got another cat, because the cat she got at the beginning went missing. She still had one, Honey, and now had another. She ended up naming her Bread, as in Bread and Honey, but I needed to counteract her cute names.

Things start to come together around this point. I ventured off into the spruce forest to look for a pack of foxes so I can have my own. I got one and brought him back home, planning on pissing her off as much as I can without her blocking me through every form of communication I have with her. I arrived back at my stupid little goth house and tied him up outside.

I think it’s important to mention that as I’m writing this, I got a message from her. My job as an annoying little bastard is never done.

I got a name tag and went to the anvil, barely holding in cackles, head full of pure malice toward Minecraft God. I was going to make things so, so much worse. I named him, my son, my child, my beloved, darling fox boy, Stainless Steel Fridge 145A7P9. I often refer to him formally with his full name, including numbers. Not only is he named after a state-of-the-art appliance, he also has a model number. How fancy and elegant is that, dear reader?

She did not think so. She regularly complains about it, but I know she would never do anything. This is the same person who immediately starts gardens in Minecraft because she can’t bear to watch the animals run when you hit them. This post may send her over the edge, though, and in that case, I’m a little sorry, but not really. I have tried to anger her as much as I have with Stainless Steel Fridge 145A7P9, but I have never again caused that level of a visceral hatred. He is the bane of her existence, so of course I had to get him siblings.

As I stated prior, I live somewhat close to a spruce forest. I wanted a dog. I looked for forever, and finally, I spawned one because I got tired of looking.

Animals with the wrong animal names will never not be hilarious. My cat in real life is named Toad, and I love him very much. So with my newly-spawned dog, I was going to entertain myself and come up with the farthest animal from a dog— an ostrich.

But that’s not enough. That wouldn’t make God turn upon his creation and feel regret for what He brought onto our mortal plane.

I’m queer and mentally ill, so of course I had an MCU phase. I still compulsively collect comic books to fill the void in my soul, but that’s beside the point.

The names of villains in the MCU are all works of pure genius, no matter how minor the character. For example, Tazorface, Abomination, and Ronan the Accuser. Notice the cool and threatening title tacked onto the end. This was inspiring.

My new son was named Ostrich the Destroyer, and I love him very much. The name didn’t evoke pure rage in her, so I decided a double whammy was the best thing I could do. I still had wolf spawn eggs in my hot bar.

I watch Supernatural. Yes, I’m very ashamed, but it’s a guilty pleasure. The misogyny and bad writing truly does entertain me to no end. But, it has been the source of many bad ideas and great comedic moments for me. The Dr. Sexy parody show is a work of art. What’s funnier than someone with a doctorate having a questionable last name?

And with that in mind, Dr. Piss PhD was born. She’s a wonderful dog, and she’s very proud of both her doctorate and PhD. She may have only been alive a few seconds, but trust me, she’s educated. By now, my friend had been desensitized, but she was still disappointed in me. Mission accomplished.

Thus, my expedition into being an annoying sibling and menace to society has been concluded indefinitely. I will conduct similar studies in the future of the collective tolerance of my friends. Thank you for reading.

Micro Fiction!

Can you fit an entire story, including characters, setting, conflict, and plot into just 100 words? YWI students accepted the challenge! Read their stories below.

In the dungeons of the castle, Robin planned revenge.

He used to be an honorable knight but no one cared to remember, he thought. A traveling circus had arrived at their castle Ravenstone; a wizard went to him. “How would you like to know something?” Robin was intrigued. “Would you like more power?” Robin froze. His eyes stuck to the wizard and he was under the wizard’s control. He killed the king, and they put him in a dungeon. Under the power of the wizard he plotted his escape. But would he do once he escaped? That was a secret.

Aiden (Aiden invites anyone to expand this story if they would like!)

It was a cold, dark, January, and Lilith was lying on her twin bed listening to music feeling bored. After a few minutes she noticed that all the lights were out. She walked out of her room and no one was there. When she walked into the kitchen, Splash! Water was poured all over her and she tripped. It was a tripwire prank! Lights turned on, her brother stood over her pointing. Then, the front door creaked. They turned their heads and froze, it was mom. So, when she saw what had happened she grounded her brother for all eternity. 

Elizabeth

Once upon a time there was a chicken who was so smart they could do the rubix cube like dadgum Einstein. Eventually she became self aware and decided to destroy all humans and make chickens the supreme species. First she and the other chickens needed to escape from their pen so she built an explosive device out of birdseed and placed it near the bomb where she then laid a wick leading to the other side of the pen. All the chickens had only one match and one chance to start the wick.then in walked the farmer…

I gazed at the Eiffel Tower. The architecture, the planks, the floors. Everything was just... perfect. Alas, it was only a painting. Just then, a voice came echoing from the parlor. “Lydia, wash the windows and then you’re dismissed for today.” I nodded and got my washcloth from the cupboard.

 Night fell, and as I walked back to the attic, I found a coin lying around. I tucked it away. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. I packed everything I owned, checked my pocket for the coin, and got on the bus. When I arrived, I saw it: the Eiffel Tower.

Varsha and Riya

It was a cold, clammy April first, and Sandra Brown sat up in her lavender bed sheets feeling miserable. She glanced through her window pane to find pouring rain. She heard a voice behind her call, “Hello.” It was a soft, little whisper that made chills go up her spine. She whirled around to see nothing but her yellow dog, Shelly. That dog could talk to her. Sandra pinched herself as the dog proclaimed, “This isn’t a joke.

Bang! A loud sound emitted from her younger brother’s room. “Gotcha!” he laughed. “April’s Fools, I hooked up a microbit to Shelly.”

Sarah Kate

Treehouse

I need a tree that’s big and strong. I need twenty pieces of wood. I need a swing strong and that will hold. The tree I need is twenty to forty feet. The wood needs to be smooth and flat. The ladder of the treehouse is long and flexible. I get all my supplies for thirty-five dollars and fifty-five cents. I build my treehouse on a tree about thirty feet. It takes two weeks, but when it’s done it’s worth the time. I bring food and games to the treehouse. My friends come for a sleepover. So much fun. Yay!

Jayden

Astronaut

I’m an astronaut. I went into the rocket ship two hours before blastoff. The other astronauts joined me in the rocket. A few minutes before blastoff, I strapped myself to a seat and got ready to leave Earth. The blastoff countdown began: “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blastoff!” I felt a huge push as the rocket left Earth. After three days on the spaceship, we were very close to the moon. “Get ready for touchdown,” an astronaut said. I strapped myself into my seat again and prepared for touchdown. Five, four, three, two, one, touchdown!

Eric

King of the Chessboard

I’m the king and I control everything! One day, an enemy king attacked with his army! We were losing badly. Almost everybody immediately got captured, except for the knights and a few others. Our queen tried attacking the enemy king, but the knights chased her away. Then, came a surprise attack! I was attacked by the queen but one of the knights sacrificed himself for me and I narrowly escaped! The queen and remaining knight desperately tried attacking the king, but nothing worked. But then… I spotted a weakness! The queen and knight attacked and captured the enemy king. Checkmate!

Eric

Amy was bored in her house so she was reading some comics. She had gone to get water and there was her brother sneaking in her room, setting up a water bucket and a fake throw up under the comic. He set up a wire behind where Amy was sitting. When Amy came back she lifted the comic and saw it was a prank. She acted like she was scared but did not trip the wire. Her brother comes in thinking the prank worked but he trips over the wire himself and the waterfall on him. Reverse prank HA.

Akhil

It was a long night; some of us didn’t make it. When we woke up we were so weary to realize that the person that we slept next to had died. It didn’t make sense how such bad luck happened to me? I was just a young boy when it happened. I don’t remember much, but I do know my parents and everything I owned were taken away from me. I only joined the military to avenge my feelings, but my idea is starting to look like a total bust. I hope somebody will read this and will remember me.

Helen was a very lazy squirrel. Helen would make other animals  help her like bring her food and blankets until... winter came around all the other animals had to gather wood and blankets and food. Helen would make the moose give her a blanket but he said “no i can’t”. Helen would call the wolves to bring her food. But they declined. She would plead to the termites to give her wood  “no way”. Because she was lazy she was very cold and did not eat during winter. Next year she worked  hard and was warm in winter with food.

Adrien

Jean was a bunny. He was very proud but not humble.

Jean would race other animals and would always win. 

One day a big contest was held. Only the fastest animals would race. Jean of course entered. As soon as he entered the other animals quit because Jean would brag and say he was the best when he won. As soon as he started making them a tiny shrew popped up from his hole and signed up. Jean burst into laughter and as the race started Jean burst ahead  and was almost at the finish line but he decided to take a nap he lay down and as he slept the shrew won the race. 

He sputtered and cursed and stomped but the race was won, Jen ran up to the mouse and tried to squish is but the animals held  him back.    

Adrien  

MISS CASEY OPENED THE DOOR OF HER NEW Y.W.I. STUDIO. Right when she saw me coming, she opened her red mouth, and I excitedly ran in the building! I joyfully said, “Miss Casey!!!” 

She said, “Hey, Aaron! I’m so glad to see you! Come look at my new studio!” 

The rooms were painted in different colors. There was a giant writing classroom, an art studio, a computer lab, a piano room, an auditorium, a dormitory, and an SAT testing area!

“I like this new studio, it’s the best one ever!” I said.

“Glad you do!” said Miss Casey.

Aaron

Minecraft poem

Once there was a minecrafter named Dave.  He was quite

brave.  He woke up in sand and started punching a 

tree with his invincible hand  then went mining with a  

glee to see lots of diamonds.  he went to the 

nether.  As he was never alone by the groan of

zombie Pigmen.  As he encountered a nether fortress.  Suddenly  a

portal appeared in the room.  As he saw it was 

tall.  and leaped inside to see the end.  He broke 

the end crystals , and slayed the dragon in a jiffy.

then grabbed the XP and got the egg to show.

Absolutely! @prinxe-with-no-crown I'd love to hear yours

So it started I wanna say last October/September probably closer to October. Now I started hearing about this thing that was similar to the Yogscast who I'd been following when I first got into minecraft and the internet as a whole. I was so interested to see what this was, however nothing would give me a clear answer as this was pre wiki and when it blew up so I wrote it off as "Eh if I hear more I'll check it out." I heard various stories about an execution (which I now know was Techno's execution) and how someone was on house arrest, how there was a boy (who at the time I understood to be a side character?) Who was invested in some music discs that were relics of the past. Low and behold I saw a post

This post in fact. I became intrigued. I understood nothing about the characters or the series but I desperately wanted to know more. Recalling my previous foye I decided to focus a little more on figuring this thing out. I found a playlist that had a bunch of vods. I figured I could watch it while I did otherstuff, so I watched through most of the pre lore stuff. But I didn't understand where the story came in? I still didn't know who Phil, Tommy, Techno, or Wilbur were who I had heard so much about. So I put it off for a bit and decided to focus on other interests such as persona 5 which I did 3 playthroughs of from the end of September to January. Around late December I decided I'd really crack into DSMP and figure out where the lore everyone was freaking out about was. You can imagine my suprise when my understanding of all the characters was COMPLETELY wrong. After I got to the middle of season 1 I really got invested and went full focus on watching as much as I could, finally starting to watch the live streams around February (my first lore one being the one where Tommy breaks off a piece of the egg).

If anyone wants to hear the insane story of how I joined the dsmp fandom let me know
