#again you can find these on Skindex

[superbug06]

Hrm, have some more. I like making these..

[camp-mlm]

for those of you that are stuck at home right now + in need of things to do

1) grow some plants! you can grow new ones from cuttings from your garden, so there’s no need to go out and buy seeds. all you’ll need is some sharp scissors, some damp tissue, your plant, and a pot to put it in! here’s a little guide to collecting a cutting + replanting them!

2) tidy up + decorate your space! a change of scenery is always lovely, but if you’re not doing a whole lot of that right now you can work with what you have. taking a few minutes out of your day to clean up is very important but why don’t you spend some extra time doing something new? put up some photos or posters or drawings! rearrange if your allowed to! have fun!

3) make your own personality quizzes! quotev is quite simple to use and you can use it for quizzes, surveys and story writing!

4) make a minecraft skin! bonus points if you give it a backstory :0 you don’t have to be good at pixel art, and you can always find a base to use if you’re worried. the skindex has a section that lets you create skins of your own.

5) spend some time finding out what you like! watch some movies, listen to some music, download some free games and put on some podcasts. screenshot, bookmark, and jot down anything that brings you joy

6) look after yourself. this is the only mandatory point on the list. it sucks being at home but it is essential that you don’t stop doing the basic things you usually do. that means staying hydrated, keeping your body active, spending time away from screens often and getting food when you need it. if you’ve got people you can reach out to, you should talk to them! open up about how you’re handling life at home and keep in touch with your friends until you can see them again :)

With Domicile’s Conclusion:

I’m writing a wrap-up of sorts here, explaining all the lore and background info for the series (and where it might go?) in a fully transparent manner. Don’t read this if you want to puzzle some of it out first after finishing the series. I’m posting the art assets I drew at the bottom too.

Prepare for a long one.

1. Series Lore

First off, the most important thing. Raven is not a true “Player.” I categorize Players as beings separate from mobs that sorta just, appear (though they all have their own backstories). They have a lot of power at their fingertips. They can manipulate the world drastically, travel between worlds, and set up worlds as “hubs” (servers) for others to gather in. The existence of a Player influences the world around them. Worlds are literally made for Players, and can barely exist without them. 

So what happens when a world lacks a Player? Well. Mob AI is fundamentally changed, for one. They do not aggro on beings that aren’t mobs unless provoked. Therefore, all hostile mobs ignore Raven’s existence because they are not recognized as anything worth paying attention to. Things also got messy and the world deferred a sort of “awakening” to those of the highest “power,” Evokers, in order to try and pick up the slack in a way. (Though the world doesn’t have thoughts, I’m just personifying it for ease of explanation.)

Evokers in Raven’s world have a higher “sense of self,” and in doing so took on a fraction of Player abilities (building/exploration/crafting skill and world manipulation). Many of them banded together into the Evoker Collective to try and figure out what’s going on with the world. There are legends of “Players” that all sapient mobs know, and yet....there is no trace of one...

Eventually, one such Evoker got the idea to try and MAKE a Player, or at least, create an entity that could try to fill the void. Enter our dear shapeshifter. Unfortunately, Raven either accidentally killed both their creator and work partner in their eldritchy infancy without realizing, or scared the two off for good. I’m leaving that for others to decide. Thankfully they started learning life lessons from passive mobs and ended up in a village in a form where they were mistaken for an actual Player and could learn about it.

Secondly, in a broken world, the connection between the dimensions is super fragile. This is why Raven didn’t get any dimension-related advancements. They don’t exist. All knowledge regarding the Nether and the mobs within was left vague or nonexistent and Evokers had to figure it out themselves. At most, villagers know of a far off place that is very warm and red. And they know of a hard, purple rock, that when made into an upright square...does something... Only Evokers actually ended up getting there.

When it comes to the End, that’s a complete mystery, though they did find a stronghold containing a portal. Unfortunately, they didn’t know enough about Endermen (named “Warpers” instead) to figure out the whole deal with the frame.

There is no Enderdragon. With no Player to defeat her, she does not exist, nor do her pillars, her crystals, or her egg. And with no dragon to defeat, there are no End Cities. The only thing that exists is the anchor point, the bedrock fountain.

IN COME CYAN AND GREEN: residents of The Liminal, the space between worlds and dimensions. You know that dirt screen you see whenever Minecraft is loading, showing an error message, looking through options, playing the credits, etc.? That’s a place. You can fully enter it only after hopping into the fountain the first time in a world. All those other times you’re kinda just a blip. 

It’s implied in my custom End Poem that it is possible to acclimate yourself to The Liminal better and eventually stay there without being pulled away. Furthermore, it is being said that Raven has the possibility to join the ranks of Cyan and Green since Raven’s also somewhat detached from the universe (due to being made from its own cracks). However, that will take, like, hundreds to thousands of years.

Cyan and Green gave Raven a boon after being impressed by their ability to be, well, a person. They gave them the knowledge and ability to world-hop, like Players, so Raven can now go to other worlds as well as servers and isn’t stuck in a broken one, hooray! All the other worlds they visit will be actually made for Non-mob Beings, so there’s proper mob aggro, regular dimension stuff, etc. There’s gonna be a violent few lessons Raven’s gonna have to learn fast. Good thing the other ability that Cyan and Green gave Raven was the ability to respawn in other worlds. Yep! Raven was unknowingly in hardcore mode this whole time and didn’t realize there was anything different!

Despite getting a slight power boost, Raven is still unable to shapeshift properly. They can only get forms slightly right. They worked really hard to maintain their zombie mimicry at this level of finesse (even if it isn’t perfect), so they’re unlikely to change shape unless it’s necessary or accidental. People are more receptive to Raven in this form, after all. This is my excuse for why Raven doesn’t shapeshift in-game at any time....there are no mods for this.

2. Out of Character Stuff

Here’s a previous OOC post I made regarding some of the filming stuff.

Domicile was always meant to be Raven’s backstory. It’s something I could point to when people might go: “What’s their story?” It was just for fun, but I put a lot of work into it, and it has felt very rewarding. For example, I’d been trying to figure out how to present the flashback of episode 6 and the custom End Poem for episode 7 for aaaages and getting those all settled has been great.

If you’re wondering why I have silent moments for montages in my videos and didn’t see the answer anywhere else, there were times where it just didn’t work out to use the webcam microphone I was borrowing, or said microphone messed up the audio (I’m FINALLY getting a replacement mic in a few weeks). At a certain point I decided it was a feature to have montages with only in-game sounds. Like, asmr or something.

None of the mods I installed changed generation. Everything that looks different from vanilla I made happen in creative mode. I made the mini-mansion in the roofed forest, the temple topper and stairs for the stronghold, fixed up Hometown to be nicer, and got rid of all the obsidian End pillars with creative mode punches. The pillars still stick out of the bottom of the island, I couldn’t be bothered to do that too. ( >3>)

One of my rules for the RP was to keep all knowledge in-universe. Raven had to only know things they could conceivably find out from villagers or their books. (And sometimes they just straight up forgot some of it.) After this, there’s gonna be a time skip where Raven learns a whole bunch of Minecraft basics from faceless Players. So in the future I won’t have to pay quite as much attention to what gets called its proper in-game name or not.

Also I had to hold back from singing any real life song lyrics to myself and I couldn’t give anything a name that alludes to our world. The orange tower is called Traffic Cone in my head but Raven can only call it a tower. That sort of thing I can be way more lenient with from now on.

I want to make future RP content with my character, but I have no friends who are fitting that particular niche to roleplay with me for a multiplayer series. I’m keeping an eye out for potential roleplay servers and such for outside of video RP. But at this point, I think that if I am to make a multiplayer video series, I’m gonna have to wait for someone to approach me with an offer. 

Though, I’m still gonna post art of the character here, no doubt.

By the way, since this is working as an archive of sorts, here’s the link for the written piece that started me on the track to making the series. I’m thinking of changing the canon time Raven spent wandering around the tundra thinking they were a mob to be a bit while longer than a day.

More stuff involving my Minesona can be found under the #Domicile tag, but later I’m just gonna tag all new stuff as just #minesona.

3. Art Assets

Here are the assets I made for the videos, excluding the blurry picture of the Evokers, that one’s kinda not worth much, lol. I’ve posted the first two elsewhere, but thought this would be a good archive.

The thumbnail:

The title card:

Raven falling from The Liminal, losing their form a bit after Green and Cyan’s influence and Raven’s emotional bewilderment:

(You can really tell that I loosely traced a reference photo of someone falling, lol. I have no shame, this pose rocks.)

For fun, here’s the skin I use! I didn’t make it, but I’ve used it for years, so it’s me now. >:) 

Here’s the Skindex link.

Once again, thank you all so much for anyone who watched the series. Every view means a lot to me. I’m so happy that people watched my stuff and liked it. Thanks for reading this! <3

Do you have any cool ocs? :0

*Screams cause I love talking about them but nobody asks*Yes yes yes!!!!! I have a TON of ocs!! I can post picture too in a bit if you want :)So here’s a list:1. Mcefi Skywalker- my first ever oc. I made her when I was like 10 or 11. Sort of a self insert *nervous laughing*. She’s a time travelling jedi! She also has a super complicated background. She’s short,has an awesome red cape, and short choppy brown hair (but sometimes its long and braided). I also used to use her name as my username on everything, so if you Google mcefi you will find allllll my old accounts, like the Minecraft skindex and the Lego message boards.2. Hannah solo!! My second oc. She is mcefis best friend and is based on my irl bff. She is tall, wears an eyepatch for no reason, has super long light brown hair and never combs it. She is sorta a bounty hunter pirate. Also she is a time Lord. I know, op oc, but again I was 10. Also my bff had a lot of input in her. And how can mcefi time travel without a time machine??3. Ingy. Her full name is Ingleopold but nobody uses it unless she’s in trouble. She is 7 years old and adorable. Seriously, if you guys could see the image of her in my head….She has long black hair and pale skin with TONS of freckles and bright green eyes. She doesn’t speak English very well and loves video games and pudding. And also spaghetti. She is from a planet me and my bff made up that I can’t remember the name of, but that doesn’t matter since it blew up and ingy is the only one left. Mcefi adopted her as her daughter.4. Haru- time traveler from the 1920s. Also she has long pale green hair and big round glasses. I like making new outfits for her.5. Wiel- a loz fairy. Green. Can’t fly cause someone cut her wings off short. 6. PIE!!! Prob should have put this one first. Pie is my mii on miiverse, and I kinda built the oc from the mii. She’s just an average nerd I guess. Super kawaii tho. I’ve since used Pie for everything since she is basically me, just like mcefi is who I used to be back then. Also @jeremy-1994 thought my real name was Pie since I use it for everything! Which I think is funny cause I wish it were true lol.7. Companion core- like the companion cube but its a core and can talk and is shy and adorbs. Recent oc.8. I had a lotr elf oc that I would role play as, what was her name?….. *searches through old art books* It might have been Maranwë Nénharma. Maybe. I just remember that she had a whole notebook devoted to her backstory etc. And a character page since I would actively use her for role play. And where did I role play? Minecraft. Specifically the lord of the rings mod. I probably have more, but these are my favs!!! And as you can see I love talking about them....
