how to watch Skyblock Kingdoms!

because i'm dragging all of you down with me.

what is Skyblock Kingdoms?:

Skyblock Kingdoms, or SBK, is a Skyblock survival server made by VikingPilot where 18 20 players are split into groups of 2 and have their own island to take care of. each island has a unique wood type, and have a monopoly over that wood type! trade between kingdoms is allowed and encouraged, but any saplings belong solely to their original island-- with the exception of oak, which is a freebie anyone can have.

the teams are theoretically a mix of seasoned skyblockers and people not as familiar with it, but in practice there's more novices than experts so comedy has quickly ensued.

what's the story?:

in most cases, SBK is more of a casual improv vibe. think Hermitcraft rather than Empires. what this means is that there's no overarching story everyone is following, but some players have bits they've decided to commit to that, in typical MCYT fashion, are spiraling. some perspectives stay away from the action, some are playing along with whatever bit is tossed their way, some have their stories to tell, and Avid is the reason i'm having to rewrite this paragraph.

we've got capitalists! we've got OSHA! we've got witches feeding the void to try and appease it so it stops eating their bridges! we've got signs of the timeline falling apart! we've got a fortune-telling wizard! we've got something trapped deep down in limbo! we've got somebody cursed to be a monkey by british sun tzu! we've got selling your soul for a weekly lootbox! we've got a kingdom being overtaken by snow and sculk! we've got an airline with a 75% mortality rate! we've got a lawyer?

as of this version of the post (Avid's episode 17, Marma1ade's episode 15, Viking's episode 13, Vintage's episode 13), the first major story arc has wrapped up and things are going in a very interesting direction.

what's the format?:

there are edited videos being released regularly on Youtube by most of the creators, but a couple of POVs are stream-only so far. however, you can easily keep up with the server shenanigans without watching any streams-- there's some stuff that doesn't make it into videos, but not anything that would leave you locked out of the loop.

you can find all of the episodes out so far in release order in this one massive playlist by Doovid! thank you Doovid <3

on top of videos and streams, SBK has songs written and performed by Avid for his episodes! please listen to Through the Void, it's really good. there's also an animation for it that's used as his intro, which is also really good. if you want to listen to cool tunes made for SBK by one of the creators, you should watch Avid.

who to watch?:

depends on what you're looking for!

if you want a focus on building, then Fixxitt and KingElffe are both working on large-scale projects that are downright stunning to see in Skyblock. if you're interested in the Void storyline, then your best bets are Avid, Marmalade, and Trog-- and if you want lore in general, you can add Rubyco, Vintage, Milkman, and Anathra (and potentially Viking) to the list. if you want something chill, then Doovid, M1G, Kale, Anathra, and Leon are pretty laid-back. if you enjoy cinematic editing, then you should check out Avid, Trog, Doovid, Leon, and Viking. if you're here for comedy, then you'll want to check out Viking, Doovid, Milkman, Leon, CodeNeon, and Kittrix, but honestly everybody gets in on that one as they mess with each other constantly. and that's still not covering everybody!

i recommend watching everyone's episode 1 to get a feel for their style and go from there. Anathra, Artemis, Neon, and Leon's perspectives start around the Ender Dragon fight, and Fool and Tea are stream-only.

who's on the server?:

as mentioned, some of these POVs are stream-only!

Dark Oak (VikingPilot + Fixxitt 412) - industry on a massive scale Cherry (Rubyco + vintage_applesauce) - friends with everyone Jungle (AvidMC + Doovid) - the universe has it out for them. Birch (TheFoolsFam + SadMilkman) - the villain is always capitalism Bamboo (M1G + KaleHameron) - space samurai shenanigans Mangrove (Marma1ade + Teaish7) - witches with a void problem Acacia (Dr. Trog + Kittrix) - triangle-loving chaos-causers Spruce (AcornBandit + Anathra) - very chill (both definitions.) End (CodeNeon + LeonSBU) - have been here the whole time! Mushroom (KingElffe + Artemis8bit) -

tl;dr Watch Skyblock Kingdoms.

Mo Guan Shan’s Big Feelings

Mo Guan Shan, resident tsundere of 19 Days, pretends to be tough and hard-hearted.  But he’s easily and frequently reduced to tears, as we soon realize.  In fact, he cries so often in the story that this post is pretty massive.

MGS cries as a child, of course.  He’s in a clinic in his mom’s arms when She Li first becomes obsessed with him (ch 294).

MGS has a bad dream about the day his dad told little Guan Shan he couldn’t come to the school’s robot fair (ch 392).

MGS cries in other dreams too.  Soon after meeting He Tian, he has a sensual dream of being comforted in He Tian’s arms after being bullied.  Look closely – there are little tears falling as He Tian assures him he’s the “most invincible badass.” (ch 250)

True to form, he cries in the Santa fantasy extra when his house is destroyed (ch 345).

MGS cries when he’s frustrated, like in this episode after the play when he can’t untie himself to pee (ch 359).

MGS is a weepy drunk as well.  After accidentally destroying Brother Qiu’s bike (ch 427), he drunkenly sobs in bed as he vows to somehow repay him. 

Later, while MGS is still drunk, He Tian slips and falls while carrying him, ripping Mo’s pants in front of He Cheng (ch 429).  MGS cries from embarrassment.

Unsurprisingly, MGS cries over his dad.  After He Tian unknowingly brings him to dinner at what is probably his father’s former restaurant, we see a young MGS in flashback crying in fear at the chaos around him.  Present-day MGS flees and He Tian finds him crying in the parking lot (ch 217)

One of the more moving chapters shows MGS breaking down as he visits his father in prison for the first time (ch 240).

MGS cries from sheer anger in several chapters.  The earliest is when He Tian forces an unwanted kiss on him as a misplayed joke (ch 174-175).  He Tian is taken aback by Mo’s strong, tearful reaction.  It’s probably the first time someone doesn’t try to placate He Tian when he’s being a jerk, and he begins to take MGS more seriously after this.

MGS tries to end his friendship with He Tian after the school play that indirectly causes him to lose his meager job.  He Tian doesn’t help matters by waving money at him as they quarrel.  MGS weeps with anger and says, “Standing with you makes me feel like a failure.”  (ch 364)

He cries in anger once more as he watches incredulously as She Li incinerates his backpack (ch 368).  (She Li seems to walk around carrying gasoline like it’s no big deal – what’s up with that?)

MGS cries when he’s worried.  When he digs frantically through the mudslide during their ill-fated mountain hike, he thinks He Tian has been buried alive.  When He Tian calls out, MGS throws his teary self into He Tian’s arms (ch 329).

MGS’s worry is clear when the last violent fight with She Li is finally over and He Tian has won (ch 408).  The battle was so fierce that by the end He Tian is crying too, and soon they’re embracing (I sense a pattern here!)

MGS often cries when his emotions overwhelm him.  Early on, after MGS is rescued from the fiasco of agreeing to take the blame for a serious crime, He Tian tells him, “Don’t try to shoulder everything yourself.” (ch 188).  MGS tears up at the thought that someone like He Tian has his back.

MGS ends up full-on sobbing in He Tian’s arms (again) when he finally admits why She Li has a hold over him: because of the homeless man who tried to kill him (ch 319).

In one of the most traumatic scenes (and a personal favorite), both guys shed a lot of tears when He Tian finds him after She Li has tortured and burned him (ch 369-370).  These chapters mark a turning point in their relationship from friends to more.

MGS is shown when he’s happy only once, and that memorable event will happen in their future: that Christmas night when He Tian returns and proposes with matching rings (ch 412).  Cue the waterworks!

Thanks to all of the translators who provide the English versions of the story!

famous jieun moments from weekly idol (pt. 1)

EPISODE 412

ATEEZ brags about their maknae

Jieun giggled in her seat, quietly listening as both ATEEZ and Oneus continued to brag about every little thing in an attempt to one-up each other. Her members were competitive by nature, and it was entertaining to see that competitiveness only grow stronger with every minute that passed. 

“There’s one more thing that we’re really proud of,” Wooyoung said, raising his hand. A mischievous smirk spread across his face as everyone turned to him. “Our maknae, Jieun. No other group has her.” 

The girl’s eyes widened at his sudden declaration, her jaw hanging open as she stared at him in shock.  

Yunho was quick to chime in. Almost too quick. “Wooyoung’s right. Jieunie has main or lead positions in dance, vocal and rap.” 

“She also helps in the production of our songs and contributes lyrics,” Mingi said with a grin. 

“And she’s really smart,” Yeosang added. “We hung up one of her tests on the fridge because she got a perfect score.” 

Jieun, whose expression had quickly morphed from amusement to horror the moment her members started to brag about her, covered her face with both hands. She shook her head, cringing as the members of Oneus started applauding her.  

“Did you guys plan this beforehand?” she asked, turning to her members and peering at them through her fingers. They giggled at the clear blush that had started to spread across her face, neck and ears. “Oh my god.” 

“Jieun, would you consider yourself to be ATEEZ’s ace?” Saeho asked.  

She slowly lowered her hands, fanning herself as she let out a flustered laugh. “I think that all the members have their own strengths, and the reason why we work so well as a team is because everyone fits in like puzzle pieces to make the group complete. That’s why our introduction is 9 makes 1 team.” 

“Wow, she’s even humble too,” Kwanghee said, causing the members to burst into laughter at Jieun’s expense. Mortified, she buried her face into her hands once more.  

“Hey, why don’t you guys brag about me like that?” Xion asked with a pout, his members laughing along. 

“I hate you guys,” Jieun grumbled as the members gave her light shakes or pats on the back. 

San grinned. “We love you too.”

EPISODE 429

Jieun can’t get a word in  

“We heard that Jieun is the most secretive member,” Saeho said, causing a few of the members to giggle as they nodded in agreement. Jieun’s eyebrows raised at the sudden exposure. 

“That’s true,” Yunho said, nodding. “She doesn’t speak much.” 

“Jieunie was the second one to join the company after me,” Hongjoong explained. “So when everyone else started joining the company, she wouldn’t speak at all. It took her over weeks to start talking to some of them, even after I introduced her.” Everyone else nodded in agreement except Jieun, whose hand blocked the flustered smile spread across her face. 

“It’s really hard to get her to open up,” Yeosang added. “I can understand not wanting to talk about your feelings, but she doesn’t tell us anything about herself!” 

San raised his hand before speaking. “Yeah, we didn’t even know she had a brother until right before we debuted.” Wooyoung’s jaw dropped.

“She has a brother?” 

At this, the studio erupted into laughter. Wooyoung turned his body from the camera to hide the smirk rising on his face while Jieun remained seated, her smile a tight line. 

“Jieun! Is it because you don’t trust your members? Why don’t you tell them anything?” Changhee scolded, amusement evident in his expression. The girl sighed and shook her head, but before she could respond, Jongho spoke up.

“I don’t think it’s because she doesn’t trust us, she just doesn’t like having a lot of attention on herself.” 

Jieun opened her mouth to speak, but Seonghwa added, “Especially in group settings, she tends to become a lot quieter because there can be a lot of overlap.” 

Kwanghee glanced between the members before looking at his fellow MCs.

“Maybe Jieun doesn’t talk much because everyone else keeps talking over her,” he said. The members let out sheepish laughs while Jieun smiled, awkwardly shifting in her seat. “I just watched her try to say something and get interrupted twice.” 

Seonghwa turned to the girl and tilted his head apologetically, Jongho following afterwards. Jieun chuckled as she waved them off before turning to the MCs. 

“They’re right, though. In group settings, I usually let other people speak before I do, so by the time it’s my turn, I have nothing left to add.” She looked over at Jongho and motioned toward the boy. “Jongho-oppa was right too. Having attention is inevitable because I’m an idol, but I prefer to just do my own thing off-camera.”

The three MCs all nodded in understanding.

“It seems like Jieun’s members know her really well,” Saeho commented. “But we’re going to put their knowledge to the test with the Jieun Game!” 

-

The studio was set up so that Jieun was placed on the opposite side from the rest of the members, a couple placards in hand. The game was simple: Jieun would ask the members questions about herself that she had pre-written before filming began. All they had to do was get three out of five questions correct to win the game. 

Although it seemed easy at first, the questions proved a challenge to her members, as they’d already gotten two wrong. They were on the final question, and if they got this one incorrect, they would lose the whole game. 

Jieun looked down at the placard and winced, noticing the production team had left the most difficult question for last. She glanced up at her members, all of whom wore nervous expressions as they awaited the final question. 

“If I could go back in time and change one thing about my past, what would it be?” 

A silence fell over the members as they looked around at each other for the answer. However, Hongjoong immediately put his hand up, waiting to be called upon.

“Yes, Hongjoong?” Everyone looked at the boy expectantly.

“That’s a trick question,” he announced confidently. “If she could go back, she wouldn’t change anything.” 

The room came to standstill at his answer, all eyes turning to Jieun. She held an unreadable expression that caused some of them to deflate. After a few seconds, however, a smile spread across the girl’s face as she nodded. 

“That’s correct.” 

Triumphant cheers exploded throughout the room as the members jumped up from the seats, some of them shaking Hongjoong in excitement while others ran circles around the room. One of the latter was Mingi, who ran one lap around the studio before running up to Jieun and swiftly picking the girl up. She laughed as he spun her around bridal-style before carefully letting her down. 

“Really, Jieun? You wouldn’t change anything?” 

She shook her head. “All the choices that I made before are what made me who I am, and I like who I am now, so I wouldn’t want to change anything.” 

“Ah, because if you changed one thing, then your whole life could’ve been different.” Changhee nodded in understanding. 

“It’s crazy to think about, but if I hadn’t wanted to eat ice cream on my birthday, I don’t think I’d be a member of ATEEZ.” Seeing her members’ surprised expressions, Jieun raised her eyebrows. “Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever told this story. After I ate dinner with my family, my older brother and I went to the convenience store for ice cream even though it was the middle of winter, and that’s where I got scouted by a company staff member.” 

“Wow, so it was like fate brought you to KQ,” Kwanghee commented. 

Jieun looked over at her members, all of whom had calmed down and were now giving her their undivided attention. A warm smile made its way onto her face as she nodded, not taking her eyes off of them. 

“Yeah, it really was.” 

EPISODE 472

Hug Me

Jieun walked to the front, eyes scanning over each card before carefully taking one. She read over the question, eyebrows raising slightly, and turned the card so the camera could see what was written.

‘During an emergency, you’re who I DON’T call.’

She nodded, trying to keep her expression neutral as she walked back and handed the card to the MCs. Jieun turned to the members, her gaze passing over each of them as she crossed her arms. 

“Alright, Jieun. Go to a member and hug them from behind.” 

A conflicted expression spread across her face as she glanced from the MCs to the members. 

“I don’t want this person to feel bad though,” she said, causing a few members to tense up. 

“It’s that bad?” Seonghwa asked, smiling nervously. Jieun scrunched her face slightly, though she shook her head. 

“I just think it can be easily misinterpreted, but from how I’m thinking about it, it’s not that bad.” 

Jieun spent a couple more seconds staring at her members, letting out a small huff. She began making her way toward them, passing by each member slowly and pacing back and forth. After a few more moments of deliberation, she stopped behind her chosen member. 

“Sorry, Sannie-oppa,” she apologized as she hesitantly wrapped her arms around him. San’s jaw dropped as she hugged him, his eyebrows raising. 

“Me?” he asked, pointing at himself.  

Jieun let out an awkward chuckle as she went back to her seat, conveniently beside San. “It’s not that I don’t trust him, but it’s more that he’s someone I want to protect, so I don’t think he would be the best in that kind of situation.” 

“The most sensitive member?” Yeosang guessed. Jieun shook her head in response.  

“You said something about a specific situation,” Jongho said, arms crossed. “Like if an accident happened?” 

Jieun’s lips formed an “ooo” shape as she nodded at him. “You’re close.” 

“The person you wouldn’t call in an emergency?” 

Once Jieun confirmed the answer, San turned to her with a fake hurt expression, putting a hand to his heart. She sighed as she gestured toward him. 

“Like I said before, it’s not because I don’t trust him. When we were trainees, we used to always talk about our worries with each other.” 

“But not now, right?” Wooyoung asked, cheekily grinning. The others laughed, though Jieun shook her head again.  

“Sannie-oppa worries about me a lot. I think that if I called him and told him that there was an emergency, he would become really distraught,” she explained. 

“Ah, so it’s more like you don’t want to burden him because you know he’ll be hurt for you,” Hongjoong said in understanding.  

Jieun nodded at the leader before looking back to San, who stared at her with a small pout on his face. She mimicked his expression, the two staring at each other for a few seconds before both burst into grins. 

As they moved onto the next question, San reached toward Jieun and grabbed the girl’s hand, gently squeezing. She looked over at him with a questioning gaze as he blinked at her, his expression speaking volumes. 

I’ll always be here when you need me. 

Jieun blinked back at him, a soft smile making its way onto her face.

I know. Thank you.
