Maybe someone spiked your drink at the BBQ with from crazy ass potion?

"I did hear about this kind of thing happening some time ago... could this be one of them? But-- hmm... I don't know."

"This one feels kind of... different."

[mc-survivalist-steven]

Oh oh! You're like a sphinx! Don't you dare start asking riddles!

"I'm wayy too lazy, though."

[mc-survivalist-steven]

I just can’t remember where you got these scars on your arms from? Looks like I missed something

"I don't ever bring it up because Brian felt terrible about it afterward, even when I told him I forgave him. They're fully healed now, so there's nothing to worry about!"

"He was super hot when we fought lmao."

[mc-survivalist-steven]

WHY ARE YOU A HORSE??

"This form does look like a Sphinx... Hmm."

"But it still doesn't answer why I take on this form since... a Sphinx isn't exactly anything close to my former 'branding image'..."

"...Also 'sphinx' isn't an insult, Hex. You can put the sword down."

[mc-survivalist-steven]

Wow Steven, you're looking a bit more Biblically Accurate than usual. You feeling alright?

(He is, in fact, not okay. He will be in a while!)

Welcome to BBQ party redux!

Rundown:

Steven's decided to host a revamp of the BBQ version! The event itself will be some sort of 'draw your OC here' social event. The purpose is... well, mostly to have fun, but also so this event can be one way for your OC to find an excuse interacting with other OCs in the askblog (if you want to have an excuse to). The deadline will be Sunday next week, 20th of August. Note: For Minecraft Askblog community only!

.

What do I do?

Pretty simple, actually! Remember the jailbreak event where I give you guys poses to draw your characters in? This is just like that, but a bit more loose and there is no character limit. Look up the post here to see how people submitted theirs! From this list of poses, you can pick any to draw your characters in. They have to be: a) lined and flat color or simple shading at 2000x2000 px ^ ^

b) drawn like they are eating food/interacting with others

c) I'm permitted to do little edits (because I will be the one editing them into the panels).

d) Please leave me preferences notes! (Like where u wanna be placed or whose oc u wanna be close with/avoid. Mostly bc idk who ur OC dislikes/likes.)

.

How this works:

.

When drawing your OCs, think of them in a casual social gathering settiing. What do you think they'll do? Here is a list of poses that is encouraged to draw:

1. Any 3/4 or sideview, seen from the front or back, is very appreciated. 2. Gorging on food is fine. You can draw your characters eating with thwir plates on a table too! 3. Waving at someone is fine. 4. Warming self close to fire is fine. 5. Holding/receiving a tray of food is encouraged. 6. Talking to others is encouraged. 7. Laughing/being friendly is encouraged. 8. For those who aren't sure if their OCs want to be in the crowd are allowed to submit hiding-behind-a-tree pose, or something like wallflowering. It's all cool if you want to! 9. If you wanna draw something that is more unique, just know it may not fit the scene. So be careful! (Note: You can submit multiple OCs and multiple poses. There is no limit! Just have fun, it's kind of like a social gathering. )

.

You are not allowed to:

Draw your OC killing others, causing too big of a ruckus, being overly villainous to others, or anything that does not fit the overall theme of the event.

.

Basically that's it! Pretty straightforward event for this time around. Last submission will be Sunday next week, 20th of August, so be sure to submit all you like and invite your friends. I will be mentioning which blogs submit stuff, so think of it as an mc askblog gathering, if you want. :D

Thanks and happy drawing! ^ ^

*throws a pokeball at you*

"Hey! What gives??"

[mc-survivalist-steven]

"We'll have sausages, meat, skewers and more! Vegetable and seafood options are also available."

"You don't have to bring your food like last time, just bring yourself over! The idea is to meet others and just chill if you want to. Anyone's welcome to come, so long as nobody start any trouble. Date's this weekend!"

...

"Ah, um. Also throwing hands and kidnapping others or myself is not allowed, thank you!"

[More info on the event will come next post! :D]

[mc-survivalist-steven]

I don't know much about your genealogy, but could the taur body be something from your "Dad's" side of the tree?

"I know because one of them turned white, so I've decided to hide it in... the basement, so to speak. Whenever I got wounded or kicked the bucket last time, I'd always come back there to respawn. (That it until my respawn was turned off years ago.)"

"My biology isn't like normal people, though. While people copulate to bear kids, my kind works like... spores? I think? We drift about, land on something, and is born based on the element of That Thing. I knew calling it a 'dad' is far-fetched, since the pools aren't even sentient but it beats having a shitty mom. Hey, at least someone else raised me ri--"

...

"Anyway, if sphinxes don't melt into lave pools in the nether quadrillion of ticks ago, I'm fairly certain that's not the answer to this mess... hmm."
