first up is Rouge Detampes, named after the red orange pumpkin!. She may appear stuck up but she's a real sweetie. She's got a massive protective streak in her, hence her usually playing chargers or pulling out a brush to help a Splatling teammate in need. She works at the Shoal part time and loves helping out newbies get a good read on their weapons
Natural ink color - Red Orange
Eye color- Orange with a ring of cyan around her pupil
Age - 26
Next is Hamachi, a rather self assured octo. She's deadly with her Tetras and she knows it. She's well sought out as a duelie player for multiple pro teams, but she prefers to go solo or just mess around in a team with her friends. She'll squid party at the drop of a hat during turf but she will absolutely push her own teammates off the map if they try it in ranked. She, Brass and Danii are sisters, Hamachi being the middle child.
Natural ink color - Neon Yellow (it also glows in blacklight as well as the dark)
Eye color - a yellow ring surrounding a deep turquoise iris
Age - 22
Next is Brass, eldest of the sisters. She's hard headed and impulsive, and has a bit of an arrogant streak, but it's not unwarranted considering her skill in battle. She's the captain of her team and will remind her subordinates of it in any way possible. Despite her preference of military garb, she has such an attitude against anyone higher on the food chain than her that she is unfit for military duties. She's made friends with many important people and will call in favors if anyone messes with her friends or especially her family
Natural ink color - Brassy yellow
Eye color - Gold with a ring of royal blue around the iris
Age - 29
Next is the youngest sister, Danii. She is self absorbed and constantly getting into trouble, often needing her sisters to bail her out. She mains Clash just to be annoying. She claims she's an amazing player, but in reality she is often carried by her team. She's a flirt of the highest degree, and will flirt with literally anything sentient. She has been banned from Grizzco as a result. She is a rascal in every sense of the word, the quintessential stereotypical bard at heart.
Natural ink color - Sunshine yellow
Eye color - mottled cyan and gold
Age - 19
Special thanks to @stuff-from-the-void-matron with name help!
For the mun from a curious anon: What got you into Minecraft askblogging of all fandoms? Is it an interest in a certain type of Mob? Inspired by a veteran mcaskblogger? For fun/curiosity? Or something else? Thank you!
Literally nobody would know this but I actually used to run a different askblog on tumblr like 10 years ago for the character Laharl from Disgaea. It was text based but I did draw ask replies sometimes! I attempted to make some for my own ocs (which were fancharacters for that) but the fandom was positively exhausting and I left the scene because I was a minor, starting college, and the asks I got were.....gross.
I played a LOT of Minecraft with some Canadian friends via Hamachi before/around this time, but we were splitting off into separate interests. I didn't have anyone to hunt pumpkins with for hours or wait to see if it would snow or rain or collect all the roses with, so it kind of just became a game I explored on my own. The lore hadn't yet captivated me because my future favorite things had all not been added. I spent a lot of time in the Nether because it reminded me of the Netherworlds from Disgaea. I played solo every so often because they kept adding things or I just wanted to relax. I used to always try to build next to or in woodland mansions after their addition but I used the Sphax pack that turned evokers and vexes into something else. I never really got to pay proper attention to them. i was more drawn to the environment and architecture because my future obsessions showed up as ugly vampires and bats.
Fast forward many years and I'm moderating a huge Discord server and have to tell a guy not to say a bad word. That guy, Kurt (@ask-vulcan-and-toby) seemed to think I was cool so he invited me to play Minecraft, which I hadn't played with others for years. We hit it off so well that down the line we eventually became a couple. Things tended to happen together at that point, and we got wind of an SMP based on the nether update by a few people we knew from this big ol' server. We ended up not joining, but in the meantime I had made Hex and the lore dive I did learning about these mobs PROPERLY literally made Minecraft a special interest. I could not get enough information and my brain was zooming. Kurt got invited back by some MC ask veterans and I came with since our characters shared lore. I'm so much happier sharing my story this way, and it hits me with a boatload of nostalgia too, even if I wasn't in the Minecraft fandom for my former askblog.
thinking about how when i was much younger i found comfort in primarily online friends. we would draw together in draw parties (originally we used Hamachi and Open Canvas's early online feature), and draw our OCs. there was a girl that i liked and we'd draw our OCs doing uhhh the Devil's Tango. i really miss those days of bring creative with people like that, even the romantic/perversion was sweet looking back on it now. many fond memories.
A fun little animation I made with Bop! An old meme but one I’ve always, wanted to do. Plus it took a much shorter time to make than the Momotaro one (which I still have to finish).
