to me mounders are found family but not in a standard siblings-esque dynamic or anything. particularly early on it’s like they have the unshakable camaraderie of like, college dormmates bonded through their mutual befuddlement of what shared teachers they have, or acquaintances stuck in a elevator together, or shipwreck survivors caught in the same stretch of land.

and it’s happenstantial up until they’re maybe a little too loyal a little too giving for what should ultimately amount to amicable neighbors. it’s happenstantial until they start to notice that they choose eachother over and over again, in their own ways. it’s that they care for eachother and they fight for eachother and they mourn for eachother as a whole and individually. and it’s fascinating.

Given how much Scar’s character knows. (From him connecting series that we don’t think he should know about to his character. And him knowing things he shouldn’t…) I’m on the band wagon that Scar is some sort of Eldtrich God.

Righttt like, my best guess is he's some sort of dimension-hopper or something... a traveling trickster god.. mentally i'm at a corkboard w/all the red strings connecting to different scars trying to piece it all together, holding my head in my hands

It's like. Okay. He had an encounter with s8 tycoon scar where he stole his hat, and he killed him (?) but today he said he simply broke a wheel on the wagon and stole the hat? He says each hat has a story. Does Jellie's hat also have a story. Jellie obviously travels with him across every universe. He seems not to mind when people don't remember who he is but he gets VERY upset when people don't know who Jellie is; just thought that was interesting

Did P!Scar travel to the hermitcraft season 8 universe? After the moon hit the server? Did tycoon scar travel to the pirates universe? Or are they the same person and it's just a lie? When he first spawns in Pirates SMP he makes it a point to mention a mysterious flower crown in his inventory. He says it's an important crown, and it's the only one on the server. Buttercups??? (Sidenote he also spawns with some blocks of cyan glazed terracotta. Not sure what that's about but it's dangerously close to being light blue glazed aka the vex magic. I would have lost my mind)

At the very beginning Scar says his ship was called the Flying Jellie. The Flying Jellie. What if it wasn't a boat. What if it was a space ship. He calls it a pirate ship but that doesn't necessarily mean a boat, ti could be a space pirate ship. (He's done loopholes with his phrasing like this before, like today when he sold michela a sword that was "nearly full" durability, only to later clarify it was "nearly full-y depleted"). He says he won an important battle with the ship, but he lost the ship and the crew. I've seen people say that the crew is supposed to have been boatem, not sure if that's canon? Is the ship story even true?

He made references to both Pearl and Grian today, are they his Pearl and Grian from the pirates universe or is he referring to the hermits? He mentions Pearl by name to Sausage, who says he doesn't know who that is (and yet Sausage goes on to casually mention the moon at the mention of Pearl, either Sausage is also a dimension-hopper and he's bluffing or he has a subconscious connection to his other lives). He doesn't say Grian's name but he talks about a man on his crew who sunk with the ship that's very obviously meant to be Grian (says the man's head looked like a loaf of bread, that he wore red, would have been a Kite). He doesn't seem too upset about the loss.

He greets Cleo, Scott and Martyn when he first sees them even though they don't know who he is. Cleo flat-out says "I don't believe we've met" after he greets her by name. Interestingly enough when he first calls Martyn by name, Martyn doesn't question it (I know Martyn also has some Lore going on, maybe he recognizes Scar too) Also I saw someone point out that his pants resemble mayor scar's pants. Possible season 7 reference, season 8 reference with tycoon scar and a possible? season 9 reference?? with that flower crown???

I literally can't tell if he has this planned-out intricate lore that connects all of his minecraft SMP characters like Martyn does or if he's literally just saying random stuff for fun. His character could be lying about his entire backstory, we don't know. i have no idea what's important to the lore and what isn't. this man is such a trickster god its not even funny. tldr WHAT IS GOING ON

Wild life was something!

I’m going to do my own take on the celestial poem. I don’t fully expect anyone to take it seriously but feel free to read over if you want!

Spoilers ahead!

Ok so first off congrats to Joel for winning! I know it probably been spoiled to death by this point but I’m going to be courteous to the people on my blog who don’t already know.

Secondly my take on the celestial is that the later winner are no longer celestial bodies. They represent something else entirely.

The first five:

The Sun (grian), The Stars (Scott), The Moon (Pearl), and Mars (Martyn). Then their is our home the Earth (Scar)

After that we have the explorer (Cleo) and their vessel (Joel).

Now Joel’s is easy to explain, everyone is equating him to his Car since it was such a big part of his series and it feels disingenuous to separate them, hence the vessel, which could be a car or a spaceship, which is exactly how Tango described Joel’s car the first time he saw it.

As for Cleo this one is a bit more nuisances. It feels like most people just write her off or equate her celestial body to something small like Pluto. However, I think we can definitely do something more profound with her.

Due to how off the Real Life series was, what with it’s VR aspects, short run time, and big players like grian being out quickly (first in this case. It almost feels like Real Life is an outlier. Almost like it was the first attempt that Grian did to try and separate the life series from the watchers. First by removing all traces of their powers in real life, and then exerting his own control over the narrative in Wild Life.

For this he was punished, in real life he was killed off first, and in Wild Life he not only had his window curse reaffirmed but they kept the canary around just because they knew it would bug him (P.S this is a joke, Jimmy did real well and I am proud of him. He might have possibly won if he didn’t have grian plotting to kill him)

So for all of the watcher series their an air of finality and their winners get celestial body names. Third life: Sun, Last Life: Stars, Double Life: Moon, Limited Life: Moon.

The only one that feels like it doesn’t fit this trend is secret life, but I think it still counts because it was clearly the series that the watchers partook in a more active role. And the odd series name mixed with the celestial body contagions shows that it a turning point for the series. The watchers and Grian are battling for who has control over this series. As the watchers make the tasks but it Grian’s job to check them and implement them. This is when he realizes he can make the rules now and he no longer at the mere whim of the game.

Thus his games have strange titles Real life, and Wild life. And his winners had names befitting of those from the outside coming in and taking over the watchers galaxy. Joel is the spaceship (Car) and Cleo is the Astronaut (or wander or explorer, whichever you prefer)

They are an astronaut because they are sometimes that is gone in the blink of an eye, just like a human is to the universe, they feel and act out everything they do, and in the end while their life was short they made a major impact on the universe they were in, even if no one knows it yet.

That my take on it at least, if you guys prefer celestial bodies then Cleo can be a comet, here for a short time but going out in a blaze of glory, and Joel can be Pluto, because Pluto is a very memorable planet and I doubt any of us will forget Wild Life any time soon. It has a chaotic orbit, which fits the theme, and it small which both thematically matches his mane and he one of the few people who the crew makes short jokes about.

Thinking about how similar icarus and arisanna actually are, about how she has been through a lot of the same things they have, and that can make her comments towards icarus, and fable, seem so much sharper

An older sibling tasked with taking care of their younger(s) becuase their mom was taken, and the older is the only one who can take care of them, and then, due to a father figure stepping in, losing some (then most) of that love and care, especially through the resets, becuase the younger siblings aren't the ones who are cared about, so why would the love be fostered?

And ari doesn't care at all anymore, apathetic becuase of the vexing that her 'dad' did, now completely uncaring of the allays, but she's been there and done that, and she is doing what best suits her, and shes on fables side, for convenience, and becuase she knows how itll play out for the very fact she has seen what he can do and she has seen the similarites between the two 'father figures' and she is not loyal, and she knows better then to be (even if she actually had any emotional stake in it), and it's something about her having such a clear perspective,

And she was never a failure like icarus fears to be, is labeled every step of the way, even when she was called vaguely equivalent when she was being taken, she was confident in her actions, her only true 'failure' was regarding taking sorazas vessel, and now she doesn't care

And icarus is struggling with that, they have shattered evrery oportunity to undo, they can't go back, but every step further they get just seems a step further in a grave, and they are leaning on their father, on fable

And fable leads them like soldiers to wherever he deems fit,

And arisanna has been there, and it's just, something about how much more pointed that makes her comments

She's been there, and done that,

She knows how to work it, knows how they don't, aren't

[erstwhilesparrow]

okay actually gonna use some of my data to open tumblr and make this post because outsiders apo+owen makes me want to start biting.

the thing about outsiders apo and owen is that at the end of beach episode, owen comments on what a lovely day they've had together and says, "i can't wait to do this all again tomorrow." and there's no way he doesn't know, okay? multiple characters demonstrate over the course of the day that they remember what happened before this -- even if they hope otherwise, they know they're going back to the maze eventually; this day is an impossible and perfect dream. and look how they choose to spend it. apo and owen see the sun setting and hear the cries of the gulls melt into the birdsong of the clearing and the thing they do at the end of this unrepeatable day, knowing they will never have this moment again, is turn to one another and promise they care. they've been running all over the place reminding each other all day: i care about you, you're my best friend, i want to spend time with you, i trust you so much i'll jump down into the mouth of a volcano with you. whatever happens before or after this, it matters that for this one day they sought each other out and played stupid games and shared food. it matters that this was real for them. it matters that at the end of it all, they could not bear to part without saying first: hey, you're important to me. do you get it?

and also, do you ever think about that conversation apo and owen have before the second clearing about what they're going to do next, what they think about the maze, and just before they go off their separate ways, they say, "i trust you," to each other in the same tone most people say "i love you"? do you ever think about how the roots of that trust went so deep in owen that when it was broken, his faith in the entire clearing was broken? no one can be trusted, he said. everyone was working against me, he says. he decides something must be profoundly wrong with this world, because it is a world where apo was able to look him in the eye and lie him. it CAN'T just be about apo because his care for apo was so fundamental to his understanding of the world -- there is no place he can go or word he can say now without remembering him. owen's world is (was) the maze, the clearing, rasbi, apo. and even after all that, owen still says the next time he sees apo, it will be to drag him to the maze's exit. even desperately hurt and swearing to himself that they're done, leaving apo behind for real is unthinkable!! do you get it??

and the prison visit itself: i hope you know you were everything to me, apo. of course i regret it, owen, i lost you. apo made cheesecake. owen says, don't try to make me pity you, and i thought, oh, it's absolutely working, isn't it? you wouldn't be half so upset if you didn't care. if you could escape your care for him, you wouldn't have spent so much time circling the prison, pulled by the gravity of apo, apo, apo. and then the escape, and apo's memory becomes part of owen, hanging over him as a haunting, as much a real presence as the living person. "he's dead" becomes nearly like a chant -- owen wants nothing more than to put those memories to rest (he says) but he also can't stop saying it: he's dead, he's gone, he's been dead for months. as if he needs to remind himself, somehow. apo's gone, apo's gone, apo's gone. but owen can't bring himself to stop saying his name. can anyone hear me. do you understand what i'm saying??

after reunion, i spent a lot of time yelling in a friend's DMs about how owen should have died with apo -- that killing should have killed owen with it, and in some sense maybe it did, but owen walks out of that encounter still breathing and apo is still right there with him. this is the start of something new and apo was there for its birth. how do you silence the voices of the people you kill, he asks magic, because he can never seem to. some of us hesitate at the thought of killing our friends, he says to rasbi. i'll give you ten seconds, he says to apo, and maybe that's just a hunter playing with his food but maybe, for all that owen hardly seems to recognize his friend during reunion, something was still sticking in him. confronted with impulses he did not have the context to understand, owen thought his purpose was to protect everyone. and then his memories come back and it doesn't matter that it's apo in front of him because that's a demon, but maybe it does matter. maybe no matter how hard owen tried to forget it, it never stopped mattering. i don't know!!! do you get me!! do you get what i'm saying!!!!!!!

idea-

We didn't start the fire but life series???

3rd life the chorus last life the chorus double life the chorus limited life the chorus secret life the chorus the ending bit which is just the chorus repeated

like there is the perfect amounts of verses too have one referencing the events of each of the life series

I don't know if I could think of enough stuff to fill a verse but it should be do-able

[sophieeee0105]

At this point (from the end of ep 5), the server kinda split into two loosely allied factions and I’m very curious to see what becomes of them.

as of right now the main teams (TIES, bad boy, nosey neighbours, mean gills and the clockers) are all pretty solid free standing groups and there’s been very little betrayal (aka whatever tf grian and bdubs are doing). And then TIES and the nosey neighbours have loosely allied themselves with each other on the premise of ‘the rest of the server hates us, and we need friends’. And then the bad boys got pulled into the family problem and the mean gills seem also quite closely allied with the family (tbh mainly Cleo)

which leaves us with the two loosely allied teams.

TIES and the nosey neighbours - which tbh I feel is the weaker of the two and probably will breakdown because at least 5 of the 6 people involved were somewhat unhinged last session (with bigb being the least. And then there’s the rest. Scott and martyn and Cleo all seem pretty strongly allied with each other, and all three of them are massively loyal so I don’t seem anything going wrong with those three, it’s just the rest that are loose cannons. A red scar simply cannot be trusted, and while I don’t see him betraying bdubs or Cleo, I can very easily see him going after the mean gills or the bad boys. Speaking of the bad boys, I feel like their alliance with the clockers will end up being quite weak or will somehow build (probably as both groups build up more hate for TIES as that’s honestly how I see this season going). And then bdubs. Honestly idk wtf this man is doing, he’s trying to be loyal to everyone, was called a traitor by literally everyone he was trying to be loyal to, and has an Etho problem. Despite all this I feel like the loyalty of Cleo, Scott and martyn will somehow outweigh the chaos and the larger alliance with somehow outlive the smaller one

or I could be completely wrong and be overthinking literally everything, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow

DSMP x Warrior Cats AU idea, but Syndicate-centric

What if the Syndicate got reincarnated into the Warrior Cats world (with no real memories from DSMP, only vibes) and each simultaneously grow up in a different clan trying to dismantle the hostile cat governments/politics in different ways (Techno tries to take down the government, Ranboo tries to fuse all four clans together...) They meet up at gatherings and through shared/similar beliefs and vague reincarnation recognition gradually become friends.

My ideas for what Minecraftbookshelf could do with the Heart of Pixandria / David in the Marriage of State AU.

At some point in his reign, Pixlriff had been told by the goddess of death to find her heart. There was a strange familiarity to the statement of finding Death's heart, one that brought him back to his youth, hearing people tell tales of Death's heart. Now that tale was nothing more than a blurry memory to Pixlriff but it was a lead to finding her heart. When he finally got a break in his busy schedule he headed to the library. It took him hours of scouring over old books filled with folk tales, many of which Pixlriff had heard in his youth, to find mention of the story. The author's retelling was patchy, with a note at the beginning saying majority of the tale was lost to time before they had decided to chronical it, but even still it was helpful. The tale of Death's heart is about a large mechanical heart surrounded by a wonderous machine, under the desert beyond the river, sealed away by a pair of large doors. At the height of the tales prevalence many a soul had spent years digging through the desert on the other side of the river to the Anthill, all of these explores had come up empty handed. Despite this Pixlriff still searched for it, between his duties and his wanderings.

One day years later, Pixlriff was searching the desert, he was not searching with any real purpose but just for something to do. A large shelf of sandstone gave away, crumbling to sand as it revealed an old stairwell. Pixlriff headed down the crumbling sandstone stairs only making one full rotation before the ground flattened leaving him face to face with a large pair of intricately carved copper doors. Years of weathering had left the carvings almost unrecognisable but the shape of the symbol of the Lady of Death was still identifiable in the carvings. In that moment Pixlriff knew he had found it, he had found Death's heart.

Pixlriff pushed the creaking doors open, a shaft of harsh desert light now illuminated the dark room. A straight pathway led between masses of copper wiring, pipes and debris. In some places the roof had caved in leaving piles of sand and chunks of sandstone scattered around. In the centre of all of it, where the path led, was a circular space. In the centre of the space was a stone slab, a large copper heart sat upon it. Pipes and wiring spidering out from it going out into the rest of the room. It was taller than Pixlriff and sat completely still. Dead candles littered the left over space on the slab and on the edges of space, where the path ended and the machines begun.

Okay so, my idea for what the Heart of Pixandria could be in the Arranged marriage au by Minecraft bookshelf is for it to be a large machine that has been long lost to time. How the machine came to be, I am not sure but it was some how gifted to the people of the desert by Lady Death after its location was lost to time the stories about it where also lost. With Pixlriff being told directly by Death to find the machine. It is not in a functional sate and Pixlriff does not have the required knowledge to fix it. When the machine is working the copper heart beats and the machines around it age copper (does the same thing the actual heart of Pixandria does) and moves the copper to the centre, depositing it in the area around the heart where it can be collected.

This does leave the problem of how the Heart becomes functional. The answer I came up with before the idea of a mechanical heart, and the answer stems from how I always thought David was a little to human to be the name of a machine.

During one of Pixlriffs wanderings, he found something, that something was David. Well not really, David is completely unrecognisable from the emaciated child Pixlriff found by an oasis in the middle of the desert, Pixlriff isn't even sure if he was called David before but he is now and no-one is going to argue with Death. This is the story of how David ended up 'living' in Pixandria.

Pixlriff was heading back to Pixandria, when he happened upon an oasis. Nearby he noticed something in the sand, heading over he saw a boy lying in the sand, emaciated. The boy's pulse was weak and breaths barely noticeable but he was alive. Pixlriff was not going to let him die there, out in the desert where there would be no-one to send his soul off, so he gently picked the boy up and began to walk to the Anthill.

When Pixlriff crested the final dune and the Anthill was in sight, the boys heart had given up, his aliments taking him. A couple of the people who worked at the Anthill's infirmary came over to him, insisting that they could take the boy and give him proper medical treatment. Pixlriff simply shook his head, a quite denial of their help. Many others watched quietly as Pixlriff walked to the temple of Lady Death, no-one dared to follow him in.

Placing the boy on the offering table thing (look I don’t know the word), Pixlriff reached for a plain candle and flint and steel. He gentle placed the candle on the table between himself and the boy. Lighting the candle would let his soul pass peacefully into Lady Death's realm as Pixlriff would pray to her. Pixlriff's prayer would begin as he struck the flint and a handful of sparks ignite the candle. Expect this time the candle would not light as if every time he tried to would be magically snuffed. The begins of the soul passing prayer was stopped with an annoyed huff as Pixlriff continued to struggle with the candle. A voice blossomed in his mind, one he had heard before, the voice of the Lady of Death.

Pixlriff set the flint aside, shifting back into the position of prayer he closed his eyes letting her calm voice wash over him. She told him not to worry about the candle for it was not David's time. She told him that David would wake, that his heart would beat again and his lunges will rise and fall once more. Pixlriff sat there, listening to the words of Lady Death until she told him to open his eyes then fell silent. The boy's- no, David's, chest moved up and down in front of Pixlriff, he was now part copper and part flesh. The copper and flesh worked in together as if David was only made of flesh, a patch of his hair was now replaced with thin copper wire. Pixlriff took a step back as David shifted then a pair of green eyes the same colour of oxidised copper met Pixlriff's dark blue.

SO YEAH David is a person, a half dead half robot person but still a person. Does he age? Probably not, at least not physically. He would get more mature and have more knowledge / understanding of the world as time goes on but still look like he is a teenager. I think David would also have an innate understanding of how the Heart of Pixandria works because he is made with the same technology by the same person (or at least Lady Death help / told the people how to make the heart). So David would help Pixlriff fix and use the Heart of Pixandria.

Also if you wanted to add in the ghost cat that people give to s2 Pixlriff then you could have Pixlriff find it with David's body.

Does this work with what Minecraftbookshelf has planned for the Marriage of State AU? I have no clue but hopefully it will be helpful for working out what on earth to do with the Heart of Pixandria / David.

Also thanks for reading this 1350 approx words worth of story and ramble.

marriage of state au has consumed part of my brain!! Luckily not all of it, I have an idea for the heart of Pixandria / David, do you wanna hear??? I’m not sure if it would be appreciated (I haven’t really interacted with others aus online before). So like you want ideas for what to do with it?

I would absolutely love to hear it! I do have a few ideas for what I'll be doing with it, I just have no idea which of those/combination of those I'll end up going with yet, but I will absolutely never say no to talking with people about their cool ideas!

Martyn playing Battle Box on MCCI and facing an opponent with a Ren skin: think I’ve got to get out the way—oop—No! Not like this! Not to a Ren, not to a Ren! Ah okay good. I got so distracted. I couldn’t do it, my head and my heart were-were having conflicting thoughts.

Ren wanting to do RP with Martyn on Pirates SMP: If Martyn and I are gonna RP something well, it's probably gonna be pirates, let's be honest. We would do pirates really well. 'Cause basically, a Ren-Martyn RP would just be the same as the King and the Hand RP

Did you have any lore ideas for Secret life that you couldn’t flesh out? (Such as the fact that the secret keeper has a reverse watcher symbol on it, and has a lot of references to the watchers tied with it, etc)

I do plan to do a post Secret Life stream where we talk through the SMP and decide how it fits the Eyes And Ears AU, people can point out moments or queries and we'll figure them out together

I've got so many random ideas and tangents for the new symbol, the statue having a physical presence and even the addition of new players. There's lots to unpack!

HElllo hi i heard you were willing to ramble about egg lore? (<- knows nothing about egg lore but somehow ended up writing a fic about the egg and i need to pay for my sins)

Oh boy. Where do we fucking BEGIN! (This answer will be late and probably go on so many side tangents) Alright, so I'm just gonna recap the "smaller" events leading up to and surrounding the early part of the egg lore first. The Egg arc was so long I could probably make several long posts JUST for recapping the general events that happened in roughly chronological order as well as important tidbits to the egg lore. That's assuming either the ADHD spurred motivation fuel I'm running on while writing this doesn't dry up, or that I get the kind of motivation to write more posts this long from other asks like this. I'll also try to do more seperate posts on the more lore analysis-y side of the egg arc. So like how the egg's story was impacted on a more meta scale by the way the dsmp's story over all was being played out at the time by its' creators, the implications of its existance in both dsmp fanon and canon... IF I'm motivated to that is.

The Egg arc began when c!Badboyhalo found the "egg" in his statue room, which he was digging out to make way from the Dreamon Hunters (totally different lore plot, but that's for another niche dsmpblr blog) He soon showed it to c!Sam and c!Dream, and for context those two had been terraforming a part of the SMP close by the Badlands and therefore the statue room in order for Sam to complete the giant mega prison Dream had hired him to construct.

Bad was immediately drawn to the "egg" (which was called that because of it's shape and not because at that point it was confirmed the thing was an egg), where as both Dream and Sam were immediately weirded out by Bad's sudden affinity for it and the own bad vibes it gave off to both of them. Shortly after leaving the statue room, they spotted red vines growing by first by Hutt's Pizza - and then shortly after at Bad and Skeppy's mansion. This was extra concerning because they reasoned no player could have spread those growths up there on the surface, to those two different locations, in the time they were all down in the cave. This creeped Dream out enough he tried to manually remove the growth at the pizza place. This caused Bad to become agressive and he attacked Dream for 'hurting it', reasoning that the vines were beautiful. And it spread even more rapidly after that, with red vines being spotted growing around Jschlatt's grave, even on the Power Tower in L'manberg. Bad became even more attached to the egg and it's various offshoots, even nicknaming the egg "baby".

At this point most people on the server who interacted with the egg were, understandably were uncomfortable with the rapid spread of the vines and Bad's weird devotion to it. (Execptions to that being c!Puffy, c!Ponk and c!Antfrost who agreed with him) Bad and Ant eventually both started hearing voices from the egg, commanding them to spread the vines even further, while Puffy also started exhibiting the extreme fawning and obsession over the egg at that point. (She nicknamed it Eggy) Bad and Ant actively started spreading the vines; at c!Punz's tower and Sam's base. They also started urging other people to follow them back to where the Egg's main structure was, presumably in order to persuade more people over to becoming obsessed with said Egg. Sam tried putting a stop to this by trying to move the egg's structure physically, but he was stopped by Bad and Ant. The conflict was broken up when Punz came over, and remarked that he found the egg strange but "ultimately harmless." (Punz later elaborated that he was actually neutral on the egg and leaning towards viewing it as a potential threat, but to avoid direct conflict just wanted to see how everything would unfold. He also refused a proposal from Sam to fight Bad and Ant should the need arise.) Ponk was yet another case of someone initially opposing the egg but coming to view it favoriably. He had seemingly mixed opinions for a while, admiring the beauty of the vines but also being creeped out by the degree of devotion Bad, Ant and Puffy were showing to the egg over all. Ponk Eventually went to visit the Egg's main room and actually touched it. Like Bad and Ant, he reported hearing the egg make audible noises. Unlike Sam and Ant, he did not apperantly hear distinct words but rather "growling". Overtime, Ponk started referring to the egg as beautiful as well. Also he too began pushing for Sam to "join the egg" Leaving off here, with the next post (if it happens) being on the canonical timeline of events leading to most of the egg's followers disinfecting at that point, until probably the establishment of the proper eggpire. And then the red banquet of course gets it's own special post.
