Mapicc - Oct 26, 2024

bro fuck this team

[mcytblrconfessions]

now don't get me wrong, i love mapicc, but after my friend once jokingly said he "descended like jesus christ into my room and took away my rights to feel sexual attraction to anything" after i came out to her as asexual (specifically erassexual if that helps explain her wack ass comment), i can't exactly bring myself to watch a mapicc video without imagining him being crucified like jesus christ.

It fascinates me that in this entire conflict with Flame we have this battle between c and cc mindsets and motivations that are so interconnected that the story only exists through the blend of both. 

MAPICC: “I don't care bro. He can't just get away with anything he wants to because he’s Flamefrags. I actually don't care” 

It is so cool how it’s BOTH:

“the villain of the server can’t just get away with anything he wants because he’s the villain” 

AND 

“Flamefrags the person can’t just get away with anything he wants because he’s Flame” 

One is a fully justifiable, and even honorable, story motive: to stop the evil rampage of the evil villain, 

the other is a respect and learning moment for a real person to learn that you have to work with others and not steamroll because you think you have the right to whatever your idea is. 

It is so fully both of that at the same time. 

Flame does it too, he met the story as a story; he said specifically to Zam in DM’s that he’s leaning into a character with blowing up spawn. 

But then when it comes down to it, it’s his video and he just wants to make it, and he's willing to hold the whole server hostage to do so.

He takes both to be true, though he disagrees that the second reason is any justification to oppose him, which is the whole point to what Mapicc is doing. Mapicc is trying to teach him that his actions have consequences and you have to embrace them WHILE doing your video, not separate your video from your actions.  

And that, on a greater level, lifesteal is never about just you, it’s about who you team with and about the server as a whole. Every interaction matters. 

And Mapicc fully embraces that actions have consequences and that he’s going to get shit for blowing things up because now people can say of him, “Mapicc can’t just get away with anything he wants because he’s Mapicc”. He thinks he's in the right, and flame deserved it, but as they walk around the destroyed castle he reflects saying, “yea and then when I cancel the duel I’m the dickhead. Well I mean, no what I did-” and doesn't finish the thought. But he gets it.

And THAT’S what makes lifesteal so interesting.

It’s not just an unscripted story, it’s other people continuing their lore during your lore, because of your lore, which messes everything up and doesn't lead to perfect stories being told. 

It’s a never-ending, ever-building conglomeration of difficult stories, real stories, actual shit going down, and pushing thorough it anyway. In a word: Resiliency. 

---

And then suddenly it’s not EITHER of those two above options, resiliency is necessary as the dual conflict of above boils over into a story about self worth and communication. Not about a video, not about a villain arc, the barriers of character break down, the story of the server which was once wrapped up in the easy rebuttal “It’s minecraft not real life” starts to crumble and suddenly it feels all too much like a real life problem stuck within the veneer of a character, forced to play out because it is in the context of a game, unable to be resolved until the person himself battles against his inner self.

And our villain is stuck under the thumb of someone else, despondent, weary, and just wanting to give up. Anything to end this endless agony that boiled from one mistake, one weak moment in listening to the devil on his shoulder, and has now brought real sorrow and massive stress. 

He talks of Wemmbu having leverage against him, a mysterious hold that keeps Flame from having any leverage in return. What looked like one type of character has boiled into something far more 3dimensional. 

And suddenly I’m getting flashbacks to the greatest story lifesteal has ever told. 

---

FLAME: “How can I control another man’s decision that like, he just logs on and starts blowing stuff up. Bro. what can I do” 

ZAM: “well, [laughs] telling him that’s he’s griefing your video! Tell him that he’s griefing your video! It’s so obvious!”

FLAME:” he wont give a fuck!” 

ZAM: “HOW? He obviously cares. He obviously cares” 

FLAME: “he does not give a fuck bro” 

ZAM: “You can just talk to your teammates, did you know you can just communicate with them? That is something that you can do that we cannot.”

[…] FLAME: “its not that easy” 

ZAM: “but it should be. It should be, Flame” 

------

ZAM: “they’ve been going against your motives this entire time? How is that not betraying? How is that any different?” 

FLAME: “bro they have leverage bro” 

[…] ZAM: “flame the way you’ve described this is that you’re being betrayed constantly by your teammates, your teammates are constantly going against you, always. And now you’re like scared of them as well, […] The way I see it is you’re having a communication problem, I don't know” 

FLAME: “I can’t do anything with somebody else’s problems” 

ZAM: “but it’s not someone else’s problem. It’s your problem […] you teammates are being terrible to you, your teammates are mistreating you” 

----

FLAME: “where the hell am I going? There’s nobody left that’s gonna want me on their team. And that's my fault” 

ZAM: “that’s not necessarily true. You just have to look […] you don't have to betray them, you could just leave the team on good terms”  

FLAME: “that doesn’t exist” 

ZAM: “[conceding] fair”

---

FLAME: “okay tell me what- in this scenario, put yourself in my shoes.” 

oh he’s BEEN there. He has been there. Don’t worry Flame. 

Standing up to your purple teammate is never easy. Especially when you’re so attached to the third teammate in the group. Hopefully Zam and Pangi can give helpful enough advice, but then again did Planet and Bacon and Branzy’s advice give the best conclusion to that relationship? Was communication possible or was the only possible response upholding a boundary and leaving to show how serious he takes it? Putting his foot down and standing up for himself? Is it possible to do that without breaking apart the team while still being serious about what is going on? 

And then there’s Mane saying “flame said that?” “Dumbass flame :sob:” “we already said we’d stop after he asked LMFAO” 

Where this will lend up, I don’t know. But this is the most interesting lore lifesteal has had in such a long time. I’m getting so many flashbacks to how it felt to watch s4 and I couldn’t be happier.

silly sketches of STC's main cast for @immolxtion-stxtion :P as an apology for not doing my state-mandated literary analysis of STC yet

some design notes under the expanded text

some of my own takes on stc:

mapicc has monolids! i really, really love the look of monolids (funnily enough, as a non-monolid asian myself) and i think they suit mapicc's punk aesthetic well because i recently saw an asian punk model on ins and their appearance was incredibly striking

snakebite holes leave quite visible scars- maybe a little unclear in my illustration, but those are scars on roshambo's face, not piercings. i also think roshambo has long hair- he's incredibly ethereal, morute sort of vibes

parrot is also asian (the actual cc is mixed wasian iirc). this was my haircut when i was younger as a silly note

spoke's neck tats are cybersigilist inspired, but i honestly don't have a headcanon that feels right either. you can get enamel extensions put onto your canine teeth to give the appearance of fangs; i think spoke would absolutely do that ~~cs he is gay~~

Lifesteal Season 6 Week 4 Recap

We're one month into Lifesteal Season 6! As per usual, major spoilers under the readmore, ccs should be blocked but if there are any with secret accounts please leave now.

Team Mice Breakup

We've had the first team breakup of the season! After Kaboodle antagonised Manepear by placing posters that said "Fuck You Manepear" around spawn, he blew up the Mice's base. Reddoons blamed Kaboodle for this, and when he and Hannah met Kab at spawn, he killed her, calling it "A transaction for the time I wasted on this team" (paraphrased). The Mice are now officially disbanded, with Hannah no longer trusting Red, and Woogie having left a few weeks prior. Ironically, the reason Mane knew of their base location was actually partially Hannah's fault for having her second layer on, and partially Leo's, for building a giant farm on the surface nearby.

In the direct aftermath of the betrayal, Kab and Red had a very long argument (in lore, not a real argument) on twitter.

Consequences

As a result of being betrayed by Red, Kaboodle locked herself in an obsidian box, where she can't hurt anyone and no-one can hurt her. This stream was the first part of a series called 'Consequences' that she will continue in September. Kab also has an alter-ego that can leave the box, so she can continue to participate in events.

Purpleduo

Vitalasy rejoined the server for 100 Minecraft days earlier this week, for his last Lifesteal stream before he goes to college. During this stream, Subz rejoined the server permanently, and for the rest of the week has been hanging out with Reddoons.

The Peace Trials

The challenges for the mace continued (and later concluded) this week. Multiple people took part in trials based around friendship, culminating in a final trial where they were asked to kill Squiddo to prove their dedication. As multiple players refused to kill them, the Keepers of the Mace (4C, Squiddo, and Cube) had to decide between themselves who was the winner. The winner was revealed by 4CVIT onstream to be Clown but no other server members know this. 4C requested that no-one speaks about this on their socials until the winner reveals it himself. Clown, a little while after this, then proceeded to kill Squiddo and 4C.

Mapicc

Mapicc's experiments on Zam have continued, despite him paying Zam four hearts for the now finished castle build. He is still convinced Zam is secretly evil. He wants to know Zam's base location but has so far failed, and is considering dropping the stalking arc.
