link to my day one liveblog

very short intro from the hermits as grian and scar are interviewing jared hess, the director of the minecraft movie!

"He's a tall drink of water, that guy," -- Jared Hess, directer of the minecraft movie, talking about Mumbo Jumbo. (and. he's taller then mumbo.)

apparently mumbo designed a ton of redstone machines for the movie that didnt end up being used

scar keeps derailing the interview to ask about napoleon dynamite

sign purchases have been reopened for everyone in europe who was asleep. im tempted to buy a second one lol

doc in chat

they've rigged the wheel for snails

[isjasz]

Hi just ignore this if you want to or if you don't know or something idk sorry but I'm really interested in getting into all of the mcyt stuff that you're into but I have no idea where to start,, any tips or guides that you know of for someone interested in getting into that stuff 😭

HELLO HOW ARE U HERE IF U DONT KNOW MCYT OH MY GODS thats WILD /POS

Ty for sending this ask dw im really happy to help and introduce more ppl to these series!!

UM AIGHT SO I'd say my main main fandom is the Life Series! From season 1 to the latest season there's 3rd Life, Last Life, Double Life, Limited Life, Secret Life, Real Life (april fools special), and Wild Life that just ended tdy. It is a improv death game series packed with shenanigans, alliances, betrayals, and ofc fun, with different minecraft gimmicks every season <3 Up to u if u want to watch from the first season (there are several movies from different povs, I'd say Grian's is a good starting point) or watch some from the latest series Wild Life to get a feel for it :D (lizzie's episodes are relatively short if you prefer that!)

And then after that go watch animatics oh my god theyre so good, also consume fanart, and fyi the tag we use on tumblr for life series are #trafficblr and #traffic smp o7

AND THEN if u end up liking some of the content creators (ccs), a lot of them are also on Hermitcraft which is kinda my secondary fandom ish :D! A lot of fun shenanigans and amazing building happen there. The current season is season 10, and I'd say you dont really need to watch previous seasons to understand the current one 🫡 (same for life series, tho ofc a lot of people make references back to previous series) (but also I recommend watching hermitcraft season 8 if u have time its SO GOOD)

AND YEAH I THINK THATS ABT IT i hope that clears things up a little :D feel free to lmk what u decide to watch and what u think about them if u do! I'd love to hear about it🫶💥

[days-until-burnout]

Maybe something about breezeborne etho? Perhaps including blazeborn tango? I'm in love with your writing, your characterisation is on point lol

not me procrastinating an hour trying to figure out breeze hybridness lol blasting brain waves so yall can see my vision without me having to explain it ALSO merry christmas and happy holidays ♥ _____

📧 Day 115 -

Characters - Etho/Tango Words - 557 Time - 30 mins Content - Hermitcraft

At the two minute mark, barely enough time to put his shulker down, Tango is knocked off his feet. A strong gust of wind hits him hard, pushing him away from his shulker. Then another and another, making him stumble on his feet away from his tools and redstone. 

His fiery hair burns, smoke clouding his vision as he is pushed around. Eventually, he stops, colliding against something firm. He hangs onto whatever he can grab, head spinning. 

Something holds him tight, steadying him. 

“Break time!” 

Tango looks up, the smoke from his agitated fire mixing into the cloud of a white collar. That tells him all he needs to know; damn Etho. 

“You are unbelievable,” he huffs, pushing himself onto his feet. He smirks, pushing Etho’s shoulder as his eyes crinkle. “I just got here, let me work.”

“Nooooo,” Etho whines, the ends of it breaking into coughed laughs. 

Tango rolls his eyes, swatting his reaching hands again. He turns on his heels, his tail whipping the side of Etho’s leg in retaliation. Still, he only takes two steps away before having to jump back, an airy explosion breaking in front of his feet. 

He spins, glaring as Etho hides his hands behind his back. He looks away, rocking on his heels, playing innocent even though Tango can clearly see the missing piece in his collar. There are wisps melting into the air from his clothes and hair.

“Break time,” Etho sing-songs again, leaning forward to get closer. Though Tango cannot see it, he knows there is a mischievous smirk under that mask. “Come on, Tango. You need to stop being cooped up in your holes.”

“I just got here!” He argues, trying hard to not break into an ironic laugh. 

Etho, however, sees through it, floating closer. 

And Tango’s mistake is letting him get too close, because in a blink, Etho holds his arm firmly, pulling him forward. Again, he tumbles, crashing into Etho’s chest. He winces when his tail whips the back of his leg from the jolt. 

“Sorry,” Etho whispers, but Tango only huffs. 

He tries to pull free, itching to work on redstone, but Etho seems insistent in keeping him away from it. In the back of his mind he questions when Etho got so strong, though seeing him wrangle Joel should have been his first clue. 

So a struggle or two after, Tango ends up on top of Etho’s chest, limp and without the energy to fight him. Etho is laying down, floating above the floor with a cloud under him. Tango throws a hand over, letting it run through his fingers. The cloud is cool to his warmth, much like Etho is. 

“Ah, nap time,” Etho hums, throwing his left hand around Tango’s back, his right arm behind his head. He inhales and sighs, closing his eyes as Tango headbutts his chest. “I’ll wake you up in ten minutes, I swear.”

“Uh-huh.” Tango rolls his eyes, lightly pushing up to make himself comfortable, accepting his fate. He lays his cheek on his peck, an arm snaking up beside his head and the other dropped down him. 

“Ten minutes,” Etho repeats, that slightly sharp and crisp tone that lets him know he is absolutely lying. 

And they both know. 

Still, as he dozes off, Tango wraps his tail around Etho’s leg.

i... should write something for the holidays but alas 😌 also, unfortunately, i couldnt write more today. would i still love me if i wrote the minimum? im tryin to!

[mcyt-trios]

PROPAGANDA:

Eclipse Federation:

i dont like them. they ruined my life. Subz and Vitalasy had already partnered in previous seasons but this one, Vitalasy ended up leaving for a few months, leaving Subz alone, and Zam ended up getting close to him after immense trauma at the hands of his former teammates. Zam has done SO many wrongs, including to Subz himself and Subz STILL took him in and made him join Eclipse Federation after Zam died 14 times in a row and got banned then revived by the same player who's been killing him all this time. And it could've been perfect but no, Zam had betrayed his previous team due to them using dupes via exploits, and now Eclipse Federation ALSO has exploits! And he decided that yeah his morals were more important than being loved! And so he murders Vitalasy when he's at his most vulnerable point, lets everyone gaslight him into thinking Vitalasy is an irredeemable evil monster who will never change, even as Vitalasy SAID he was ready to change before the betrayal even happened, Eclipse threw out their whole revenge plans because of Zam's positive influence and he just broke everything. Subz couldn't be with Zam but also couldn't see himself at Vitalasy's side, leaving him alone. Vitalasy hated Zam and yet never killed him or hunted him down, despite Zam acting like he did. And when Vitalasy left, banning himself off from the server, Zam had some time alone to think and realized he fucked up SOOOO bad. And Subz revived Vitalasy and told him to kill him. And ban him. His last wish. His Deliverance. And to make up with Zam. And Vitalasy tried, and they kind of did make up over Subz's death, but then Zam was like "actually im going to kill everyone and destroy the server now. because i want subz back and also because i always do extremely drastic things when i don't need to because i have unchecked mental illnesses i refuse to get help for". And surprisingly when Subz came back he didn't like that! And they ended in tragedy! Eclipse is fucked up. It's a trio that's always about the absence of one person, it's a team that could only happen in one timeline and it was doomed from the very start. But the love was there. It made everything worse, truthfully. But it was there. And that matters. Also as a fun fact Zam himself on twitter has referred to eclipse as a throuple, which is not canon but that's pretty funny. he also stated on stream he didn't want to get therapy because it'd ruin his lifesteal character. and there was a saga where they would "marry" (challenge lost kinda shenanigans) and zam was the only one happy about it. he's not normal. there's something wrong with him. love that for him though sorry for the block of text. I really dislike them. They're my beloveds :3

Big Eyes Crew:

best gas station owners you've ever seen

they started a business together and had beef with Boatem where Tango built a giant eyeball over their base which dispensed ravagers onto them. also they're called Big Eye Crew because Keralis and Bdubs both have massive eyes on their skins but Tango DOESN'T so he made big round red glasses for them all to wear and they're iconic frankly.

SILLY GUYS DOING SILLY THINGS

They made a gas station franchise so powerful there was a location on the moon

[rapidwaterzzz]

Curse of Ability : Prologue

Flames and smoke consumed the alley way, not helping with the blurry vision he currently had. he was leaned against a wall of some sort. He was in agony, his side was throbbing

why did his side hurt so bad?

he moved his neck and heard a groan, was that him? he couldnt tell anymore, everything around him was spinning, and it felt like his senses were giving out. he pressed a hand to the aching on his abdomen, nothing was on his hand as he pulled away. He only noticed the purple and blue markings painting his side.

when did that happen? he couldnt remember. his head hurt. why did his head hurt to?

something bad happened, what couldve possibly happened

“ETHO!…….DOC HELP I CANT _____ __” was all he could make out from the yelling. what happened to etho? he squinted and peered in the direction the noise was coming from. he saw a green-ish figure trying to lift something off of who he assumed was etho‘s leg. ethos hair was stained red in the front. there was a taller fully green figure running over to the situation, helping move whatever it was off probably ethos leg. his head was pounding even harder now, the edges of his vision fading to a black. where was his help? where was everyone else? it hurts so bad, he wanted help.

a figure ran up to him, and was shouting something he couldnt make out. he had brown hair and yellow eyes, who was it. why wasnt his head working. his eyes were closing, he accepted his fate, to escape his bodies agony. everything faded to black as he gave up fighting to stay awake.

He woke up in a much nicer and quieter environment. he felt pillows and blankets surrounding him, the throbbing from earlier was now dulled down. he was slightly sitting up when he opened his eyes, he assumed whatever hospital bed he was in had a reclining feature. he took notice of the iv that was now dug into his hand, and the clean t shirt and shorts he was now dressed in, it felt nice. he took in his surroundings, there was a curtain in the room separating him from someone else, he was curious who was there but didn’t trust himself to move. the door creeped open, whoever it was coming in after realizing he was awake.

“Oh Grian! You’re awake, how are you feeling?” Xisuma exclaimed as he came in, quickly quieting his voice as he remembered whoever else was in the room.

“im good, what happened?” grian pondered to the older. X gave him a concerned look, then walked over to the laptop in the room, typing something on it.

“so you’re concussed, and have a broken rib or two. do you not remember the fight? against those empires people.” X questioned while checking grians heartrate. the empires people? it all came rushing back to him. smajor and the other empires people attacked hermitcraft.

“oh yea… whos on the other side of the curtain?” grian continued, raising his head slightly to look over.

“ etho, all your vitals are good, i do want you to stay here one more night just to make sure your okay.” X always was extra careful around injuries, he kept zed in this infirmary for 3 days over just a broken arm. grian didnt mind staying though, the bed was quite comfortable, and etho was here to keep him company!

wait

etho?

“what happened to him?” grian nervously asked, thinking the worst after the blur he remembered from last night. something was on top of him, and he remembered there was blood. oh god.

“oh, broken leg and he cracked his head open. joes about to hurt himself with all the healings hes done so ethos gonna be out of commission for a while.” x sighed peaking around the curtain. grian didnt know if he was happy or sad for etho, he was happy etho didnt have to go out risking his life, but he knew etho would hate staying behind.

why did they take on that fight

they KNEW they would lose

the empires kids were just rich kids spending there parents money to hurt others, specifically the hermits. why are they so evil, atleast they had actual parents, and werent dropped off to some community with other orphans. this sucked, he hated this

“are you alright?” x snapped grian out of his trance, grians eyes locking to xisuma.

“y-yea, just thinking” x had a reassuring smile, and walked over to push back the curtain, revealing ethos sleeping form. he looked beaten to shit, did he try to fight them all himself, my god. his leg was in a boot elevated on a stack of pillows, and gauze was wrapped around his head, with extra padding on the left of his forehead, other scrapes and bruises around his body. Grian tried to recollect what could’ve happened, which was quickly interrupted.

“Blumming hell X im not waiting any longer, did they die?” Joel slammed the door open, and immediately made eye contact with the startled X and grian. Etho started to stir, Joel almost immediately gaining an apologetic look on his face.

“Oops, my bad” he awkwardly laughed

“Joel! You woke him up!” X reprimanded the younger, Grian quietly watched. Joel didn’t look great, but he was in better condition than himself and etho by far. Joel was in a hoodie and sweatpants, his hair unkept, and there was some markings on Joels hands that he couldnt make out. a plethora of ows came from the other side of the room. the 3 looked over to be met with etho sitting up, staring right back at them.

“oh, etho, my bad” Joel scratched the back of his neck.

“Etho how are you feeling, well obviously well enough to sit up on your own” X walked over and put the bed’s recliner up, Etho carefully laying back onto it.

“Fine,so do i not get an explanation on why im in the infirmary in a boot and with something wrong with my head..” Etho squinted his eyes, looking inbetween his leg and X.

“The whole empires battle happened, you thought you had Pixl, and then he dropped a giant piece of metal that luckily, only messed up your ankle. Then i guess as you fell and cracked your head open?” X removed the gauze on ethos head, revealing a gash closed up with staples, quickly replacing the dressing, ouch.

“Damn dude, almost killed you, you look badass now!” Joel walked over and sat on the end of Ethos bed, facing grian.

“okay, can i leave?” Etho moved his elevated leg as carefully as possible, slowly swinging both of his legs over the edge of the bed, attempting to get up before X immediately pushed him back

“you think im going to let you leave 5 minutes after you got up? your concussed, and are down a leg, we have to figure out someone to temporarily live with you!” Etho dramatically rolled his eyes and sighed, getting back into place onto the bed.

“ I can live with him, trust me im great at helping the poor out” Joel announced to X, X shaking his head.

“Not with your hand situation, your not in a much better place, im still thinking about sending someone with you.” Joel folded in on himself, pulling the sleeves of his hoodie over his hands, now having a more serious, worried expression on his face.

“Actually, let me see how the marks look now” X walked up to Joel and took one his hands, revealing purplish- reddish lightning scars starting at his finger tips leading down to slightly past his wrist. Joels hands also had gained a tremor of sorts, Joel looked away embarrassed.

“What happened?” Grian questions, Joel looking even more uncomfortable, X let go of his hands and went to write something onto his laptop.

“He went a little to far with his lightning, and he has scarring now and a tremor. He’s never had this before I couldnt really tell you why its happened, Joel does it hurt to touch?” Joel sighed and touched one of the scars, wincing the slightest bit.

“I mean, a little bit, but im not a bitch i can take it” Joel laughed, covering his hands again with his hoodie.

“Yea, your gonna stay with impulse for a week.” X pulled out his communicator, typing a message to who he assumed was impulse.

“What, why!? Ive been fine this whole time, what changed??” Joel jumped up from the end of the bed, immediately challenging the temporary move.

“I don’t know if i trust you to not use your electricity or use your hands to much, so impulse can make sure you don’t hurt yourself more” X simply stated, making eye contact with Joel. He knew every hermit like the back of his hand, and he knew Joel didnt have an off switch, and knew he would just make his hands worse.

“And Etho, would you rather room with Beef or Doc for a bit?” X asked the other, Etho pondering for a bit, fiddling with his fingers.

“Uh, Beef, probably.” X nodded in response and typed something out on his communicator, presumably messaging beef about his new roommate.

“Also, you both are staying here overnight, cause of the concussions, i want to make sure they aren’t horrible. Etho i want to make sure you can atleast make it to the bathroom if i leave and it’s just you two. And you too grian.” X grabbed a pair of crutches from the corner of the room and motioned Etho to maneuver off the bed. He handed them to Etho, the younger getting onto his one good foot, and used the crutches to hobble to the bathroom door, and back.

“Grian now you” why did he have to prove he could walk, he was pretty much okay! Grian sat up, immediately remembering the broken ribs. He got up and walked to the bathroom door, a group of profanitys leaving his mouth in the process. He mad his way back, his ribs killing him with even breathing now, this sucked.

“Okay good, me and Joel are going to leave now, if you need anything at all don’t hesitate to call me! Goodnight!” He waved as he ushed Joel out the door, Joel still arguing his living situation. The door shut and the room stayed silent.

“So what now” Etho asked, looking at the shorter, finishing up messing with the straps on his boot.

“I don’t know, kind of tired i might just go to sleep.” Grian muttered, looking at the clock, it was 11:17 pm. He rustled himself into the bed to get comfier, before realizing the light was left on, he couldnt move, he was slready in agony.

“I got it” Etho spoke as if he read the youngers mind, fumbling with his crutches and making his way over to the lightswitch, flicking the light off. Grian mumbled his thanks and Etho got into bed, both of them quickly falling asleep.

[liloinkoink]

as someone who also has so much homework to do. what are your thoughts on treesekai ren (speaking of treesekai, i actually sent that fic to a friend like a year ago who doesn't watch hermitcraft etc and i remember we had fun reading it and giggling over the anime of it all so tysm for that ♡)

i am no longer doing homework so i can share thoughts. it is almost 3am tho so idk theyll be coherent

first im glad you two enjoyed it! dont know how i feel about the fact it's breached containment but it is good to know it holds up

[speaking of, this fic was posted a year ago, so if you dont know what treesekai is, here is the link for you]

second i think all the time about just how lonely treesekai Ren is. ive made posts like this before but Ren is just... he's so lonely. Ren is a character with a lot of love in him, always. he always wants someone to care about. often many someones! he gravitates towards big loyal teams, and he usually spends his time at home building a place for that team to be protected and safe, and is willing to die to defend that home (and he has. twice.)

dogwarts was a big team whose loyalty he took seriously and whose home he died to defend. the shadow alliance had matching skins and, until they went red, all ren's loyalty, and their base of operations was one of the last bases standing bc Ren continually put it back together for his teammates. Ren and BigB died on the doorstep of of box, with ren's last words being about defending it. home and the people in it are important to him

treesekai Ren is the same, but he doesnt really have anywhere to point it. he has a home, but what matters to Ren about a home is that theres people in it. he loves the country he rules but he thinks if he does that hard enough he'll have someone, and he just doesnt. he assumes he can trust his staff, thinks he'll be able to make alliances with other nations, hopes his fiance will be that person he needs. but he isnt! and Ren cant trust him! or his staff! or other royalty! no one else in the world cares about him! many of the people close to him ultimately want him dead!

so, in the game, he ends up paranoid, and he ends up evil, and he ends up dead

but in the fic he meets Martyn, and he gets that connection and affection and care hes been looking for all this time. and like. it fascinates me how much Martyn doesnt know how much hes changed ren's life. Ren isnt evil for nothing--above all he's lonely and hurt. by saving him from loneliness, Martyn saves his life. he could abandon the game plotline then and there, completely forgoing all the normal isekai tropes of running thru every event w future knowledge and picking the best possible outcome, and Ren would no longer die. just by being there and sincerely caring for Ren, Martyn has already achieved the best of all possible worlds. and he doesnt even know it!

i just. i love how lonely he is and how simple he is. he just wants to be loved. he just wants to love someone. he's a dating sim character, after all, and that's the whole point, isn't it? his world exists just so the people in it can be loved, and he's not allowed to have any of that. if youd just give him a romance, he'd be more than happy to be a love interest instead, but he isnt! he isnt allowed! no wonder he loses it. on some level, maybe he knows hes being denied the fundamental purpose for existence in his universe

this is rambly bc its rlly late but im just. it must hurt more than anything to be the one character in a world about love who is meant to be completely unlovable

[enden-agolor]
