(The Order of the Gays Stone)

MCSM character designs by me

I am hyperfixated sooo badly

[lucyandherlunacy]

before i start episode 5 of minecraft story mode i thought i'd put my serious first impressions of the "wither storm arc" here

first the positives: surprisingly, i find it really entertaining how everyone talks. the little pg curse words forced into every conversation, like 'crap' and 'hell' etc.? absolute time capsule. it works for me because i can 100% believe that these are people who live in a minecraft server in the 2010s. the wither storm was an excellent threat for the first 4 episodes. genuinely one of the best monster-villains i've seen in a video game. the conflict surrounding its creation and how it spiralled out of hand mean that it can motivate meaningful character tension despite being a monster, and the way it works is honestly really cool. a regenerating, nigh-unkillable mass of destruction that drags everything around it to its death and only multiplies once it's seemingly dead for good? plus the wither sickness and amnesia it spreads and the fate of the people who get absorbed into it? love it. genuinely threatening and spooky the arc had me invested to the point that i wasn't willing to really make any kind of 'evil/mean for the hell of it' decisions in my playthrough. it felt really nice playing jesse as someone who is just earnestly a nice and caring person who tries her best and keeps her gang together. it helps that the voice actress playing femjesse sounds absolutely heavenly she killed it in this role honestly i liked jesse's character a lot more than i expected too! their inexperienced and kinda bumbling yet optimistic outlook compared to say, the kind of stoic hardened adventurer you see in petra was really fun. combined with me missing a qte or two on occasion i definitely bought into jesse as this unlikely hero that came from nothing soren, ivor, lukas and olivia were the standout characters to me in that order. idk what else to really say they're great. i liked the rest of the cast well enough even if i thought some of them were slightly underdeveloped or just didn't appeal to me personally, the former of which i'll get into in the next section. reuben the pig i can't really speak on since i have a personal bad experience with his name that made me wince every time it was said. he was cute i guess ----------------------------------------------------------------- a few criticisms: i did redstonia, and idk if this an issue unique to that area but i found it to be too short. i just kept thinking there would be more to this society or at least more buildup to meeting ellegaard. most of what you see is just people's attempts to win her favor. i especially would've liked to see more of it since it ends up getting destroyed there was only really one time that the character drama felt forced to me, and that was the start of episode 3 where lukas tries to pull the amulet off you and petra scolds you for not saving axel and reuben. it was all uphill from there but that was the only moment i really was like "yeah this is shoehorned lol" mobs are handled kind of weirdly in this game. it's a nitpick at best and not something super serious but i guess it's weird to see zombies and skeletons just kind of being treated as a given in a populous world of various humans. i dunno, i just felt that not taking advantage of the fact that half the generic monsters are the undead or even really mentioning it was a weird move i kind of wish we just had one more episode in this arc. certain moments like ellegaard's death didn't hit as hard as they should have just because i hadn't spent enough time with her to get attached. and generally i think characters like axel and petra could've done with just a little more time in the spotlight for their characters to grow. i think they needed the kind of treatment olivia got in her moment with jesse in the farlands. even having done redstonia over axel's path it really wasn't long enough to add to her character the way that moment did for me ------------------------------------------------------------------ regardless, i genuinely really liked my experience with this game despite all the silly moments. if anything they enhance the experience for me and i can't wait to play more :)

(Intro) - (Previous) - (Next)

Lukas shakes Radar, and he wakes up quickly, worried that something is wrong.

Radar: Wha-huh? Is something wrong? Monsters ransacked the place while we were out? Did they ruin the packed lunches??

Lukas feels a mix of shock, relief, and confusion.

(next poll under cut)

Lukas: Woah woah, it's alright. No monster ransacking or whatever. It's just- I swear for a moment you looked like you were dead. Radar: [visibly worried at his words] What? I was just sleeping! Lukas: I couldn’t even see you breathing. Radar: That’s- that’s normal, don’t worry! It’s just, um, a side effect of my new meditation routine! It really calms the body down. Really hard to tell when someone’s alive when they’re that good at it. Lukas: That’s some... crazy meditation if it does that. Radar: Well, um, you know me! I need the really strong kind in order to calm my thoughts down, heh…

You continue to follow the bedrock path. You mention that something seems off about Radar. Your friends agree, and decide to keep a close eye on him in case any other weird things happen.

You enter a desert, which Radar does not seem happy about, but he still refuses to take off the hood. In fact, it looks like he shrinks into it even more. On the way, you all walk onto a loose patch of sand, which turns out to have been just above a cave, and it gives out beneath you.

Everyone is pretty injured from the fall, but Ivor came prepared with splash potions of instant health. Radar tries to back away, and when Ivor tosses the potion, he’s hurt by it.

Radar: Ow!  Ivor: What do you mean, “ow”? That was a perfectly good health potion! Axel: Yeah. It felt pretty cool, honestly. Ivor: Thank you. Lukas: So then why did you get hurt? Radar: It- It wasn’t the potion! I think some of the glass hit me when it shattered. That was the part that hurt.  Olivia: That never happens to any of us. Radar: Guess I just got unlucky.

You’re unable to go back the way you came, so the only way out is through. You enter the cave, which quickly becomes pitch dark.

The torches only last so long, and there are plenty of mobs (that still ignore Radar). Radar, the person you’d assume would be most frightened by this, doesn’t voice any complaints. He never even mentions tripping over anything.

At a certain point, he mentions a tunnel that seems to lead upward, likely an exit. The rest of you can’t see anything in the darkness. You question this, and he seems confused. He turns to look at you, and you can just barely make him out, but there’s a slight glow in his eyes. It’s a little freaky.

Without even looking at or talking to each other, the rest of you conclude “yeah, something is severely up with Radar.” So you follow him, and manage to get back to the surface with the tunnel he found. You all huddle up and get out of earshot from him.

Axel: So what’s our theory, exactly? Lukas: It’s like he’s a zombie. Olivia: But he’s acting the same way he usually does. Petra: So he’s acting unusual. Olivia: Yeah. Ivor: I bet the whole world thinks he’s a zombie. Olivia: Let’s not get carried away here. He looks and is acting normal. Radar: [in the distance] I can’t wait until it’s night, the sun is really hot here, haha! Oh hey, a creeper. Anyways- Olivia: He’s a zombie.

Lukas: That would explain why we stopped seeing him during the day. But that means he… died. Doesn’t it?  Petra: But he hasn’t said a thing about it! Why wouldn’t he tell us something like that? Ivor: Well, bringing someone back from the dead isn’t exactly easy. There’s only one person we know who could do that. Olivia: The timeline adds up, but what happened to him? Lukas: There’s a reason he’s trying to hide it. If he’s hiding something that crazy from his own friends…

[whataboutsimple]

I have a few questions for ya!

First two are mcsm related.

1 - Were there any storylines or characters you think weren’t done justice?

2 - Opinions on a queerplatonic Radar and nonbinary Nell? This is partially just hc exploration and also details for my NaLA!AU :D

3 - Favorite fanfic trope/s?

Questions! Simple llloves questions..

Anyway, let's-a go!

1. Well, I really didn't like the way they just.. dump Ellegaard/Magnus? It's not only about the fact that they completely ignore how those two managed towns, it's also about their death. If only they actually showed us, that they are remember besides like one line from Olivia/Axel, that would be sweet.

Blaze Rods were dumped too, in my opinion, since they literally left them who knows where without a single way back home for god knows how long. Yep, they did shit, but c'mon. That's a bit too hursh, don't you think? Gang spend a long time in the world where everyone miserably hates them for what they did. A bit more justice for Aiden, Maya and Gill please. ESPECIALLY for Gill, he clearly didn't understood a single thing of what was going on.

Cassie's deserves some justice too, cause c'mon. They left her alone in a hole with silver fish without any food or a chance to get out. Death penalty? Well, maybe, but not due to freaking starvation or her commiting a suicide. YouTubers should've took her with them and put in some kind of jail, honestly.

The same for Hadrian and Mevia, doesn't matter what you choose, they will eventually die in unpleasant way. How about putting them in mines? Letting them redeem themselves? Anything that doesn't include painful death, C'MON, that's too harsh!

People whose towns were destroyed should've had justice too. I love Ivor dearly, but he probably killed hundreds of humans with his creation and destroyed thousands of homes/work places/mines ect., but I bet they didn't even get a chance to judge him normally.

Justice for Binta, people fork Fred's keep, Porkchop, his gang and other people from under the bedrock, because letting Romeo die is not good, but just leaving him wander around? Jesse, are you nuts?

WHAT'S UP WITH VILLAINS IN THAT GAME??? They are either dying horribly or wander around as if nothing ever happened.

2. Oh gawd I'm too old for such words.. okay, so I googled what queerplatonic is and I hope I got it right.. actually good HCs! I can see radar being queerplatonic.. since he's such a cookie for me. And nonbinary Nell sounds good! She always seemed like someone who would use they/them for me, but being in fandom I kinda got used to call her.. her? I-.. I'm too old...

3. Ah well- there's- a lot of them actually. And usually if it's my fav ship I literally don't care. Cause it's hard for me to find something that includes my babies. Do you.. if you want to, I can do one of those 'tier lists' of fanfic dynamics?

[fayestardust]

On September 16, 1944, Private Ivor Rowberry wrote a final letter to his mother. Five days later, he was killed. He was just 22. He was part of the 2nd South Staffordshire Regiment, volunteering for airborne service. During We Happy Few 506's Operation Market Garden Tour this weekend, Mark Huberman, the actor who plays Lester Hashey in Band of Brothers, read his letter to us (pictured).

I would normally post it under the cut, but it is so moving that I want everyone to read it.

---

Dear Mom,

Usually when I write a letter it is very much overdue and I must make every effort to get it away quickly. This letter, however is different. It is a letter I hoped you would never receive, as it is just a verification of that terse, black-edged card which you received some time ago, and which caused you so much grief. It is because of that grief that I wrote this letter, and by the time you have finished reading it I hope that it has done some good, and that I have not written in vain. It is very difficult to write now of future things in the past tense, so I am returning to the present.

Tomorrow we go into action. As yet I do not know exactly what our job will be, but no doubt it will be a dangerous one in which many lives will be lost – mine may be one of those lives. Well Mom, I am not afraid to die. I like this life, yes for the past two years I have planned and dreamed and mapped out a perfect future for myself. I would have liked that future to materialise, but it is not what God wills, and if by sacrificing all this I leave the world slightly better than I found it I am perfectly willing to make that sacrifice. Don’t get me wrong though, Mom; I am no flag-waving patriot, nor have I ever professed to be.

England’s a great little country, the best there is, but I cannot honestly and sincerely say “that it is worth fighting for”. Nor can I fancy myself in the role of a gallant crusader fighting for the liberation of Europe. It would be a nice thought, but I would only be kidding myself. No, Mom, my little world is centred around you, and includes Dad, everyone at home, and my friends at Wolverhampton, that is worth fighting for, and if by doing so it strengthens your security and improves your lot in any way, then it is worth dying for too. Now this is where I come to the point of this letter. As I have already stated, I am not afraid to die, and am perfectly willing to do so, if, by my doing so, you benefit in any way whatsoever. If you do not then my sacrifice is all in vain. Have you benefited, Mom, or have you cried and worried yourself sick? I fear it is the latter. Don’t you see, Mom, that it will do me no good, and that in addition you are undoing all the good work I have tried to do. Grief is hypocritical, useless and unfair, and neither you or me any good.

I want no flowers, no epitaph, no tears. All I want is for you to remember me and feel proud of me; then I shall rest in peace, knowing that I have done a good job. Death is nothing final or lasting; if it were there would be no point in living; it is just a stage in everyone’s life. To some it comes early, to others late, but it must come to everyone some time, and surely there is no better way of dying. Besides, I have probably crammed more enjoyment into my 21 years than some manage to do in 80. My only regret is that I have not done as much for you as I would like to do. I loved you Mom; you were the best mother in the world, and what I failed to do in life I am trying to make up in death, so please don’t let me down, Mom, don’t worry or fret, but smile, be proud and satisfied. I have never had much money, but what little I have is yours. Please don’t be silly or sentimental about it, and don’t try to spend it on me. Spend it on yourself or the kiddies, it will do some good that way. Remember that where I am I am quite O.K. and providing that I know you are not grieving over me I shall be perfectly happy. Well, Mom, that is all, and I hope I have not written it all in vain. Goodbye, and thanks for everything.

Your unworthy son,

Ivor

[chubbletea]

two ideas for tda!mcsm

1.

instead of a mother/son dance and a father/daughter dance, what if they had swordfights instead? I feel like that's what they'd want more

but not actual swordfights. more like games

so it'd be jack and petra and maybe. jesse and ivor? or harper if you wanna count her as like jesse's step-mom or smthn

2.

what if instead of lukas (or petra) being the protag of tda, it was radar?

I get that it doesn't make sense, bc radar is down in the institute with jesse, but it would be way more interesting to see him accuse "jesse"/romeo of being fake and not getting believed and everyone getting mad at him I think

but that happening, considering how radar views jesse, ESP in our interpretation, would be way more emotional, bc like that scene where chrysalis went to comfort twilight after she accused her was a BANGER scene I loved it and I wanna recreate it well ngl

just OUGH I loved this scene it was so good. might've been my favorite part of the episode honestly JFJSJDJSJ

[nocturnes-hideout]

MCSM Gabriel x Ivor

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but I never see anything for my second favorite MCSM ship: Gabrivor. I see things for Harpvor (which is third favorite, I love it) and Ivoren (Soren x Ivor, which I completely see and understand, but am painfully ambivalent towards), but never this. So I'm going to scream my reasons for shipping it into the void for the stars to not hear.

So, a common piece of (for lack of a better word) evidence for Soren x Ivor is that, in playthroughs where you choose to save Gabriel from the Witherstorm and Petra is the one with memory loss, in the final battle, Soren runs away. And Ivor chases after him saying, "I can't let that idiot get himself killed!" However, if you choose to save Petra and Gabriel is the one that loses his memory, then Gabriel will run off and Ivor will follow him, saying "I can't let that idiot get himself killed!" So if it's a piece of evidence for Ivoren, then it's a piece of evidence for Gabrivor as well.

But I want to go back a bit. To Ivor confronting Gabriel at EnderCon and creating the Witherstorm. This is honestly what made me ship them, because they seemed like such bitter exes. And they are bitter exes: bitter ex-friends. (Also, people use Ivor and Soren's bitter ex-ness as evidence, so I can too.)

It for some reason always stuck out to me that it was Gabriel that Ivor went after. Soren was in hiding, so he obviously couldn't choose him. Magnus was a public figure, but he stayed locked up in his castle constantly fending off competitors, so it would have been more difficult. However, Ellegaard was a public figure and, sure, maybe she was harder to get to than Gabriel, but she wasn't that hard for the main characters to get to. And she does make public appearances at least every once in a while, the citizens of Redstonia know who she is. He could have easily had his Witherstorm spawning there.

Now perhaps this is because Gabriel was the Warrior, the fighter. If you want to prove the Order is a bunch of frauds, you would want to show that someone is bad at the thing they claim they're the best at. But it's not like Ellegaard is portrayed as a bad fighter in the stories, so people would probably believe that she could take down a wither(storm).

I think the real, in-universe reason is the amulet. Ivor said that he programed the Witherstorm to follow the amulet, and Gabriel was the one with the amulet, not Ellegaard or anyone else. However, the amulet wasn't necessary to Ivor's original plan. The original plan, before the Witherstorm went haywire and stopped listening to his commands, was just to spawn the wither, have it attack a bit, have everyone see that Gabriel couldn't defeat it, and then defeat it himself by either calling it back or using the potion. He didn't plan for the Witherstorm to become out of his control and cause so much destruction. So, given what we can piece together of his original plan, he could have done that with Ellegaard, and maybe Magnus as well. So why would he choose Gabriel, specifically? Did he have a particularly close relationship with him and felt more betrayed when Gabriel sided with Soren and lied than he did when the others agreed to the same thing?

Also, I want to focus on the amulet a bit more. Why is it in Gabriel's possession? Gabriel doesn't really seem to do all that much magic, that seems to be Ivor's thing. It's also unlikely that any Order member other than Ivor made the amulet. Soren calls it "the Order's amulet", but Ivor calls it "Gabriel's amulet". Considering Gabriel almost definitely didn't make it and Ivor almost definitely did, why would Ivor call it Gabriel's? Ivor doesn't like the rest of the Old Order, so if Gabriel took the amulet when or after Ivor left, then Ivor likely wouldn't respect Gabriel's claim to it and would instead say it's his. But Ivor respects Gabriel's claim to the amulet. The only way I can see Ivor respecting Gabriel's claim is if Ivor, before the big falling out, gave it to Gabriel. Perhaps he even made it for Gabriel so he could find the rest of them better. Or maybe he made it for the whole Order but at some point trusted Gabriel with its ownership. Either way, it would suggest that Gabriel and Ivor had some special relationship. It doesn't have to be romantic, but it could say something about just how close they were.

Some miscellaneous things: if you choose to save Petra and Gabriel loses his memory, he will greet Ivor with "Hello, my name is Gabriel". And Ivor says "Somebody pinch me" with an odd expression on his face. I honestly don't know what this means, but it means something.

No matter whether you tell Gabriel to lie or tell the truth, after speaking, he will look back at Ivor. If you tell Gabriel to keep the truth about the Old Order a secret, Ivor shakes his head very disapprovingly and disappointedly at him. And Gabriel looks very guilty and sorry. And quite possibly a bit hurt/sad at Ivor's reaction. And if you tell him to tell everyone the truth, Ivor will silently nod approvingly at him. He doesn't smile, he's not smug, and he's not angry. In fact, he looks almost... encouraging and apologetic (for a split second before we cut back to Gabriel). Gabriel looks sad, but not at Ivor's reaction like he is if he lies. Either way, Ivor's reaction seems to have an impact on and mean a great deal to Gabriel. No matter what, he will look back at Ivor to see his reaction and possibly communicate that he's sorry.

All of this to say: there are some peculiar things that, in conjunction with each other, hint at Gabriel and Ivor having had a particularly close relationship while they were still part of the Order together. And I now ship these two idiots. Tragic.

[deltapng]

this was meant to be angst but then it just turned into Lukas' POV of the scene where they get the last people back to their homes in S1 EP8

so yeah have this silly ramble

There is redstone in his eyes and it burns.

Lukas cringed at the burning sting. Ever since their adventure in Crown Mesa where he got chipped and subsequently freed, his eyes have been aching. Not in a ‘I need to cry’ way, but in a ‘there is something physically wrong’ way. 

He wouldn’t be surprised if something was wrong. He barely had time to recover from the whole PAMA ordeal, immediately going along with Harper and entering The Games to find a way home. And even then, it became another thrilling adventure where they almost died (well, he and Ivor did actually die but it wasn’t permanent and, therefore, irrelevant), Jesse once again somehow pulled through, and kicked some butt. Now, they were in the portal network getting the people who were trapped in The Games home.

“--and that's when I yanked PAMA's redstone heart right out, hragh! And the whole thing shut down!"

He winced and glanced at Jesse up ahead. His hands were waving about as he told Axel and Olivia about all the adventures they missed while they were at home. As much as he’d like to chime in, he didn’t really want to talk about or be reminded of PAMA right now. Especially considering he was, well, still in pain from it.

“Man, you guys have had some crazy adventures.” Axel sounded envious. “So many people trying to kill you.”

Understatement of the century, Lukas thought. It was nearly unbelievable, the amount of trouble they always got into. It was almost like they were drawn to it. Or the other way around. Danger was attracted to them. It wasn’t a very comforting thought. Honestly, Lukas would like to settle down and lay low for a while. It’s been at least a few weeks (maybe even a few months; it’s hard to keep track of time in the portal hallway when every different world had its own flow of time) since he’d been home.

“Goodbye, Jesse! Goodbye! Thank you!”

“That all of them?”

Wait a minute. He’s not been home for a while. Which means no one’s been in his house since it’s not in Beacontown. It’s at the edge of the woods. Which means-

“Everyone that wants to go home, anyhow. Except you folks, that is. Can’t believe how many competitors actually want to stay and keep playing the games.”

Dewey, his mind hissed. How could he forget? The poor ocelot must have been lonely. He wasn’t too worried about Dewey starving, however, as the ocelot has proven time and time again that it was very much capable of hunting its own food. But then again, Dewey might have torn the place apart looking for him.

“Thanks to you my intrepid new friend, I can actually work on making them FUN again. Very exciting. It’ll be more challenging just by myself… But a good challenge.”

“It’s what I do - exploring new worlds, helping people wherever I go… I was happy to help.”

A wince. He brought his hand up to rub at his eyes. They come back with traces of redstone dust.

“And I’m gonna help too. You taught me a lot about fairness, Jesse, and I’d like to use that new knowlegde for something good. And speaking of fairness… I think this is yours.”

Lukas blinked up at Slab before he looked at what was being offered to him. His eyes widened; it was his journal, “Oh, man!”

“There was some good stuff in there. I was really moved,” He was barely listening as he flipped through the familiar pages.

“Awesome,” he smiled up at the giant man before he pocketed the book, waving when Slab started making his way elsewhere.

“Huh. Guess he wasn’t so ‘immovable’ after all.”

He couldn’t wait to get home.

[orderofthelosers]

My first post and it's cringy Minecraft: Story Mode headcanons. Give a round of applause for me, folks.

The Ocelots (Minecraft: Story Mode) headcanons.

A lot of these are pre-witherstorm !!

{Lukas}

• Autistic.

• Loves big blankets. Quilts, comforters, etc. If it's not puffy, he doesn't want it.

• Feeds stray animals. He buys extra cat/dog food and saves table scraps to give them.

• He hangs out with Jesse sometimes but he mostly sticks with the ocelots.

• Very extreme speed-walker. He's walks super fast 24/7 for no reason.

• Buys random little contraptions. Like those water toys where you flip it upside down and the droplets slide down the platforms.

• Him and Ivor gossip.

• Loves when people show interest in what he's talking about. He'll sit and explain something for hours upon hours to someone if they ask him too.

• He hand-made the matching jackets.

{Aiden}

• Dyslexic.

• He snores a lot. The volume varies, but he's usually a little hard to sleep next to.

• Perfers black cats over ocelots but will never tell Lukas.

• Acts like he's the coolest person ever but he's actually pretty lame. (affectionate)

• He has like 20 middle names, so it takes him like a solid 5 minutes to write down his full legal name.

• He had a fairly bad childhood and makes jokes about it all the time.

• Despite them being extremely deadly, Aiden unironically loves hostile mobs. He tries to pet spiders all the time, makes attempts to give zombies fists bumps when they have their arms out, hands blocks to enderman, dodges the arrows when he gets shot at by skeletons and pretends their "playing," ect.

• Got very heavily bullied as a kid and he projected that onto Jesse, Axel, and Olivia.

• Has a pet turtle

{Maya}

• Colorblind. (blue and green specifically)

•Absolutely obsessed with horror movies that it's almost concerning.

• She genuinely hates mint so so much. Doesn't matter if it's smell or taste, she is a full-fledged hater of mint.

• She has the opening skills of 3 month old. She can't open baby gates, she can't open child locks, she can't open jars or bottles,,,,,, actually nothing.

• She's a jerk to basically everyone, not just Jesse, Olivia, and Axel. She cools it down a bit when she's with The Ocelots, but they're still a target for insults. They love her, though.

• She pulls all-nighters 24/7. She literally never gets tired but she has massive fucking eyebags.

• She hates all of Jesse's friends but she loves Reuben. She'll never admit it, though.

• Both reread and rewatched Matilda all the time when she was younger. She still does sometimes for nostalgia purposes.

{Gill}

• Has Adhd.

• Very stupid. (affectionate)

• He has a little sister and he used to get in trouble all the time for purposely teaching her curse words.

• His birthday is the same day as Endercon, which is both a blessing and a curse because he gets to celebrate his birthday at Endercon every year, but the witherstorm was also created on his birthday, so he basically got traumatized for life on his birthday.

• He could honestly care less about Jesse, he just makes fun of him because Aiden and Maya do and he picked it up from them.

• Very good listener. Someone could ramble to him for hours and he'd listen and show interest the whole time.

• Collects Beanie Babies.

• He needs noise to sleep. A fan, the TV, anything.

• He's an extremely slow walker and is always struggling to catch up to people.

{More than one}

• Aiden and Maya have a sister/brother relationship despite not being related in the slightest.

• Gill gets worms off the ground after it rains and gives them to Aiden for his turtle.

• Maya tries to make Gill pull all-nighters with her sometimes but he always falls asleep at like 11pm.

• Maya made fun of Aiden for how many middle names he has once and he pushed her off a bridge. Never again did she make fun of his name.

• Gill and Aiden stay over at Lukas’s house all the time to make pillow forts and binge watch cartoons. Maya refuses to participate because she thinks pillow forts and cartoons are cringy and childish. (shame on you, Maya)

I will take absolutely no Maya, Gill, or Aiden hate. They are all my children, my cutie patooties.

Also, if anyone with artistic skill happens to see this lost and draws one of these (very unlikely) pls pls pls tag me in it ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[ivormybeloved]

This is honestly bringing up more questions, and I'm honestly starting to feel a little bad for making lists with like twenty questions, but hey, that's what you get for making a good AU.

How does Ivor react to knowing Romeo taking Jesse's identity? Does he try to kill him for trying to ruin his son's life?

Does Soren know about Ivor's little murders?

How does Jesse eventually tell Axel and Olivia?

Is your OC still present in this AU?

How does Jesse get Ivor in jail? Does he trick him? Does he lure him in somehow?

Does Jesse at least visit him in jail? I would love to see him

Do the townspeople become wary of Jesse after knowing his dad murder a bunch of people? Do people even know Ivor is Jesse's dad?

Is sparkles still dead?

Does Ivor's bat try to break him out of jail?

How did Ivor react when everyone accused Lukas of being the white pumpkin?

Does he enjoy murder now?

Does Jesse appreciate Ivor still wanting to be in his life and giving him hints on sticky note where he can find more adventure?

Does Jesse know Ivor's his father when they meet in season one?

ANDDDD those are all the questions for a while.... BUT if you ever find any plot holes, I can help :D

Thank you ilysm 😭

1. Ivor is pretty p!ssed about it, but he complies with Romeo's wishes so that he at least gets to meet Jesse again. I mean, he DOES help defeat Romeo like normal. It's just more like Petra and Jesse do NOT trust him-

2. Soren does not know. He ran away in season 1 and has not been seen since a fan arc I made (I call it TV Arc bc y'know the evil guy has a TV head lol)

3. He doesn't. Ivor tells them himself

4. No, sadly. Everyone in episode 6 (including me and my friend's ocs) are dead except for Stampy and Dan.

5. No he pretty much goes willingly. He basically does everything Jesse tells him (except for "STOP KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE" and then just "but Jesse.. she didn't like my lava tower :'[")

6. Jesse does visit him from time to time.

7. No the topic just never came around. He never really said outright that Ivor was his dad. Though, if the people didn't dislike Jesse because his dad made the witherstorm they probably won't dislike him if his dad has MULTIPLE accounts of MANSLAUGHTER

8. Nah Sparklez is still dead.

9. Buttercup does try, but Ivor doesn't want to go yet. So he just stays where he is. His motives are.. still unclear.

10. His face was literally just: >:0 (but in all seriousness he got pretty upset about people even THINKING about accusing Lukas- like- LOOK AT HI-)

11. Yup. Think of it as like an alcohol addiction. He tried it once and now is obsessed with it.

12. Jesse is suspicious, but he's happy Ivor's still trying to be there. Though Jesse's tryna get Ivor to stop killing people-

13. No, actually. He doesn't remember Ivor at all. Ivor doesn't really recognize him at first because he slowly started to forget what people looked like. Though Soren kept pictures, so he was just like "wow Jesse you've grown a bunch :0" and Jesse's like "..wha-"

Episode 5

I 100% prefer the DLC to the first 4 episodes (dont get me wrong i enjoy this series very much) and honestly... that might be because i LOVE episode 7 so fucking much but also because you get to see Petra full swing here :333 (also no Axel and Olivia, Olivia's fine but axel ogh my gods axel please leave me alone)

Warrior Whip always Petra is always first what ever she wants she gets

"tHaT wAs AmAzInG! wHy Is NoOnE fReAkInG oUt?!" because we're cool Axel get over it

This game gives you so many opportunities to be nice to Axel, Give him the Cakeeee Let him use the Flint and Steel.... Like No he's a douche (I also dont typically like Griefer types)

Okay but tbh why does the town have to be so happy they form a whole entire mob just because we came back from looting, I'll guess and say its probably been a few months since the witherstorm??? Like I'd expect this for maybe the first few weeks but my guys we're just out on adventures looting temples its not like we thwarted an oncoming attack to the town calm down- AXEL STOP YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE

OH MY GOD THE STOCK WOMAN SCREAM!! THE WOMAN ON FIRE SCREAM FROM MOTHER FUCKING TIMESPLITTERS HOLY SHIT I LOVE THAT SCREAM (purely because its nostalgic to me, its basically Wilhelm scream to me)

Ivor: Not my fault this town doesn't have an HOA! >:3

Im sorry but im sticking with No HOA, everyone gets a plot of land to themselves, where i have a problem is when you start fuckign with other peoples shit, his land his lava maw

Dont be mad at me Petra I dislike HOAs

Even that in my opinion is a little too far, like, Just build a little wall around the bottom! little stone fence so people cant walk into it and its fine! also keep shrubbery to a minimum.... but like, if you're encasing all the lava thats just gonna look ugly!! Keep a birth like c'mon guys! its not rocket science!

Also walking through our treasure room im still thinking about Aiden, like dude this is a big world, just fucking move if you're so salty

I know nothing rots in Minecraft but still put him in an icebox please

Dang.. i wanted to change my armor before leaving... regretting the cyan decision....

Also its one days travel away, the entire town got so excited when we were gone for lie,,,, two to three days?????? e-e

Lukasss you were supposed to be watching our baaaack qmq but now ive been mugged :(

Ivor these poor people could've used those lava sources to make gobble generators!!!

also this place is so 'aesthetic' but also like,, why we gotta be so small and cramped. why cant we just make a couple cobble gen stations, you clearly have infinite water sources, and some form of greenery, tear out your little grass patch (keep one block of grass for future spreading) but make a tree farm! Let the people work with cobble! build a nice grinder! Even if the Eversource vanished out of thin air you'd have everything you'd ever need to expand into forever! You have leaves!! BREAK THEM FOR SAPLINGS! VIVA LA COBBEL STONE! WAIT 10 YEARS FOR DRIPSTONE VIA WANDERING TRADERS! MAKE MORE LAVA! GO TO THE NETHER! MAKE A GOLD FARM! TRADE WITH THE PIGLINS (because you waited 10 years, they evolved in that time) PURIFY ZOMBIE VILLAGERS! GET NEW RANDOM WANDERING TRADERS AND NEW SAPLINGS! SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY FALLS TO THEIR DEATH AND YOU MOURN THEM FOR A WEEK BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE STARTING A NEW LIFE AMONGST THE FLOOOOOORRRRRR! YEARS PASS WE EXPAND AND EVERYONE CAN WORK WITH WHAT THEY HAVE! BUILDING WHAT EVER THEY WISH WITH THE AVAILABLE PALLET! THEN SUDDENLY THE ONE YOU MOURNED FOR FALLING TO THEIR DEATH ARRIVES! COVERED IN DIAMOND ARMOR WITH AN ELYTRA AND FIREWORKS! THEY SPREAD LIES OF THE UNDERNEATH AND HOW YOU'VE PLAGUED THE "SURFACE"(?) WITH AN UNENDING NIGHT AFTER YOU LEFT THEM FOR DEAD! THEN THEY STEAL YOUR LEADER TO THE UNDERNEATH- and thats how this episode would have gone if Aiden stole the Eversource in the first 5 minutes of getting there and dipping out

THIS WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM WITH VIVA LA COBBEL STONE

Also why the hell do they have an inn? they have like a population of 28 and over half of them are guards..... wait... THIS IS HOW VIVA LA COBBEL STONE CAN STILL WIN- THEY HAVE AN INN BECAUSE THEY DO GET WANDERING TRADERS

why the hell do they have a door...

Ive always gone down the communist resistance route because Petra but i GUESS i'll turn myself in, Ive literally NEVER seen this route

goodbye petra... i'll see you on the other side u-u

QMQ

Ivor you're gonna get us in FUCKING trouble >:|

"Resources are incredibly precious" THROWS A COBNBLESTONE OFF THE EDGE TO PROVE HER POINT LIKE GIRL Y'ALL DONT HAVE GENERATORS WHAT ARE YOU DOINGG

also this is stupid you have an eversource, i get that making all those resources is energy consuming but also like,,,, dont be such a hard ass

Also the founder was stupid for having this talk with Jesse at the clif after being told Jesse is a tyrant after aiden like,, ??????????????????

Okay but like,,,, We were stuck there??? we didnt know the law and we had NO other option

If only i still had my lever from episode 1 u-u

THEY DO HAVE A COBBLESTONE GENERATOR! AND IF THATS THE CASE WHY IS NOONE WORKING IT RIGHT NOW???? YOU HAVE A POPULATION OF LIKE 28 PEOPLE WHY DONT YOU HAVE PEOPLE WORKING IN SHIFTS YOU ALSO HAVE TREES YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED VIVA LA COBBEL STONE

:)

Infinite WOOL! YOU BASTARDS YOU ARE BEING SELFISH

IVOR STOP IT

just got smacked by a creeper egg i was not paying attention

I was trying to land on the sheepie but then i fell in the lava >:( Honestly this might not have been the first time this has happened...... its been too long since ive played this game.....

I like how your choice of potion from ivor comes back to you in episode 7 :333

Jesse really is about to murder a bitch

I wanna kick his ass off so bad BUT A SACRIFICE THOOOO

WAIT IM GOING FIRST BITCH I WANTED TO SEND AIDEN DOWN FIRST AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB >:(

I love how Ivore is just nodding his head to Lukas being pissed at the blaze rods while everyone is in shock and terror

(Intro) - (Previous) - (Next)

OKAY TIME TO LIE ON THE SPOT RIGHT NOW YOU CAN DO THIS

Radar: Radar: What the heck are you talking about? People don’t just stop breathing! Lukas: You weren’t! You tell me! Radar: Maybe you just weren’t… looking close enough. Because I definitely was. I would be dead if I wasn’t doing that, and I’m not dead, so I am. Lukas: I don’t know if you’re even convincing to yourself.

Ignoring that completely awkward conversation... You continue to follow the bedrock path all the way into a desert. How great, a higher likelihood that you'll get burnt! When do the inconveniences ever end! You try your best to discreetly hide from the sun's deadly rays under your hood, though emphasis on try.

On the way, you all walk onto a loose patch of sand, which turns out to have been just above a cave, and it gives out beneath you. Everyone is pretty injured from the fall, but Ivor came prepared with splash potions of instant health. Wait- instant health. That's like, an undead mob's instant damage this can't be good oh no. You try to back away but-

Radar: Ow!  Ivor: What do you mean, “ow”? That was a perfectly good health potion! Axel: Yeah. It felt pretty cool, honestly. Ivor: Thank you. Lukas: So then why did you get hurt?

[redstoneheartss]

i think the way it controls the chipped is similar to queen wasp from wof if anyone is familiar with that. it can have someone control over everyone at once / certain groups and order them to do specific commands, or they can focus on a specific person and have complete, fine control over everything they do or say

I got a good amount of these done today, I’ll separate them by fandom to make it easier on everyone else!

honestly i was NOT expecting to draw Ivor today but im glad i did

[goodmode]

i think gabriel was the baby of the group honestly. like not literally the baby but totally the latest one to join and the most naive and out of the loop. soren is doing his command block thing and ellie and magnus are having a slapfight and ivor is getting progressively more jaded and gabriel, the new guy, is standing there like

"so can i keep doing keynotes or"

i also think it would be interesting if he had an overinflated sense of his own ability as a warrior due to the command block thing and it totally wasnt just limited to when he gets amnesia. like he obviously knew soren was cheating, everyone did, but i bet gabriel was like "its just some minor enhancements i'm still a very capable fighter :)" meanwhile soren is slapping him with command lines to make him invincible and constantly healing him and forcing maxed damage on his sword swings like boy i wish this guy would slow down or i'm going to get carpal tunnel

after the wither storm incident gabriel is shaken up and realises how vulnerable he is and i think thats why he goes off to "do the wandering warrior thing". postplot nervous gabriel with impostor syndrome jumping at shadows and trying way too hard there it is that's my headcanon

Murder Mystery

this is supposed to be for Cubetober day one, but my mind blanked out in the middle of it, so i finished it late. also i wrote this in three different times of day with three different states of mind, so if it's inconsistant that's why.

anyway, this is set in my au that i made when i was 13, so i apologize to anyone reading this if it's scuffed, but it still holds a very special place in my heart, so here it is.

~~~~~~~

Sparklez was talking. Jesse wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying, but it probably wasn’t anything he didn’t already know. What he was more interested in were the rest of the people seated in front of him. Their bubbles (or auras as was the proper term, apparently) to be exact.

Because the ones surrounding these people were strange. They were denser than the average person’s back in his home dimension, which usually meant they were physically stronger, but none of them looked like they could lift more than any other average person. A likely explanation was just that was how people were in this world, and that was all fine and dandy, but the one that concerned him the most was, ironically, the most normal of their group.

Alright, not normal, but her gold blinking aura was familiar, and to top it off, it was dense and had range. The only times he’d ever felt a bubble like this was with the members of the Order of the Stone. And even if they couldn’t lift more than their own body weight in the best of days, they still had their abilities. Which Jesse found out was the reason for the density and range.

This girl, however, (Cassie Rose, his mind supplied for him) was supposedly from this world. And yet, she had the aura of a person with the same sort of abilities as the old Order of the Stone and himself. Which, if that wasn’t suspicious-

He snapped his attention to where Dan’s fizzling started leaning more towards curiosity than anxiety. It could be something Sparklez had said, but no one else’s mood had shifted quite like his… also, he was looking under the table. Interesting.

“-whoever invited us-”

“Whatcha got there, Dan?”

Sparklez started as Jesse abruptly cut him off, and the entire table turned their attention towards him. Jesse nearly staggered at the weight of the scrutiny, but he managed to keep his gaze on the dual-colored aura.

“O-oh, um, it’s just this button, see?” Dan pushed his chair back and stood up to reveal that there was indeed a button under the table. “I was just thinking that it was an odd place to put one…”

“Dan!” Lizzie looked at her friend incredulously, her swirls now had a hint of exasperation, but the anxiety seemed to multiply tenfold, “Don’t tell us you were about to press it!”

“What?” He was quick to defend himself as his fizzling shifted to fear and embarrassment. It was mostly the fear, though. “No! No, of course not-”

A quick glance around the table to the rest of his friends seemed to drain his resolve, “W-well, I-I mean - “

He stumbled around his words for another second before he threw his hands up and covered his face, “You guys know how I am with buttons! Give me a break!”

Surprisingly, despite how wound up they looked, they did stop glaring at him. And yet…

‘They’re all suspicious of him now’, Jesse thinks to himself as he glances around at the rest of the auras around him. ‘Well, all of them. Except for one.’

Cassie’s gold blinked in anticipation, satisfaction, and a hint of regret that kept coming and going. Which, combined with her odd aura was a dead giveaway that she was the culprit, one hundred percent. At least, that’s what Jesse thought, in any case-

“Oh, hey. I have one too.” Everyone turned their heads towards StampyCat just in time to see him press the button on his side of the table.

“Stampy, DON’T-!”

Jesse wasn’t sure who yelled, but it didn’t matter. Because one second, Sparklez was standing right beside him, and then the next his chair tipped backwards towards a gaping hole that had opened up in the floor.

His reflexes had gotten better ever since a year ago, when they were still in that treehouse, but even then, he could do nothing but watch as his fingers brushed against Sparklez’s sleeve before he dropped into the abyss down below. He thought he felt someone whizz by him as he watched Sparklez fall, but there wasn’t any time to think about it before sand fell from the ceiling and filled up the hole.

At this point, everybody’s auras were swirling, fizzing, popping with fear, anxiety, grief. It was getting harder and harder to keep the forigen emotions at bay along with his own. It didn’t help that Cassie Rose (because she was a damn good actor, but she sure as hell can’t mask her inner self), aka White Pumpkin, aka the current literal bane of his existence, decided to put on a show right after the goddamn murder.

So when the lights turned on again, Jesse found himself kneeling on the floor and clutching his head. It took all of his power to not hurl his guts right then and there. Petra and Lukas, the godsends, seemed to be hoarding everyone out of the room, while Ivor had somehow ended up beside him with his hand on his head. He hadn’t been able to sense Gabriel anywhere since the sand fell, and he would’ve been more concerned over it if he were in any better shape.

As it was, he felt his nausea gradually receding as he felt the effects of Regeneration wash over him. Or maybe it was Health. He vaguely remembered Ivor trying to teach him something about that, although he can’t quite remember at the moment.

“Jesse? How do you feel?” Ivor’s voice cut through the fog in his brain, and he mentally thanked the man for keeping his volume down.

“I’m- I think I’m okay now.” He stayed on the floor for a second. Just to try and fill in the gaps in his memory after Sparklez…

He was instantly overcome with guilt at that thought. So much so that Ivor’s hand left his head as he recoiled from the intensity of it. It came back a second later, and Jesse could feel the other’s concern from where Ivor was sitting next to him.

“Jesse?”

“It- the- the sand- Sparklez…”

Ivor’s royal blue aura shimmered with relief, and Jesse looked at him in confusion as the older man lightly shook his head.

“Sparklez is fine, Jesse. I activated Speed and caught him before he fell.”

“Oh.”

“Yes. It’ll be a pain to try and explain that to the newcomers, however.”

Well. That’s a relief. Not the explaining part. But at least no one died this time. He’ll probably still have nightmares about this incident though. Bummer.

~~~~~~~~~

When Jesse and Ivor finally stepped out into the main hall, they took a double take at the scene in front of them.

Stampy was hiding behind Gabriel and Petra; Dan and Lizzie were in an argument against Stacy and Cassie; and Sparklez and Lukas seemed to be stuck in the middle failing to act as mediator between the groups.

“This is Stampy we’re talking about, guys! He didn’t do it on purpose!” Lizzie’s pink was swirling with anxiety and it seemed like her resolve was faltering.

“He still pressed the button! After all the grief we gave Dan for thinking about it, he still pressed it!” Stacy’s navy was the opposite. There was fear there, sure. But her anger and betrayal was burning much stronger and more decisively than Lizzie’s.

It would probably be a smart idea to diffuse this situation sooner rather than later.

“Hey! Hey, guys?” Jesse tried. They seemed to be too caught up in yelling at each other to have noticed the new arrivals.

“I would’ve pressed it! If Jesse hadn’t stopped me I would’ve! I was curious about it, and Stampy was too!” Dan’s blue and white aura was a sight to behold. Not because of the dual colors, Jesse's gotten over that while he’d been questioning him. His anger was making his bubble fizzle and spark, and his desperation was thick in the air.

“What Dan said!” Stampy’s aura was chilly with fear and betrayal. Which was valid, since two of his friends were vehemently against him..

“So you admit to being the White Pumpkin?” Cassie Rose. Her gold aura was bleeding with victory and even more regret. There was also a sort of desperate relief much closer to her core that almost had Jesse wondering why she was doing this..

Almost.

“Guys, I have-”

“Allll right! Let’s not start accusing people with doubtful evidence-”

Stacy whipped around to face her friend, “You were the one who fell because of him, Sparklez!”

“Yes, I know that, just- just hear me out, okay?” CaptainSparklez’ bright red aura had been calm, for the entire time that Jesse had been around him. Even now, after his brush of death, and the layers of anxiousness and fear within him, his aura didn’t send wave after wave of emotions like Jesse expected.

He didn’t know if that was the reason everybody settled, or because Sparklez was the one who nearly died this time, but finally, Stacy’s angry burning mellowed down to a smaller flame, and Dan’s sparks grew less intense, although his anger was still fizzling quickly and quietly in his own bubble.

“I- I know this has been a very stressful evening for all of us, but Stampy’s our friend. I know we haven’t known him as long as Lizzie and Dan have, Stacy, Cassie, but I know him well enough to be positive that he wouldn’t do something like this on purpose.”

“...fine,” With that, Stacy’s anger disappeared, and in its place was a mix of doubt and regret. Maybe she wasn’t really angry at Stampy in the end? There were only so many people to blame, after all. “But if you’re so sure he didn’t do it, then who did?”

Cassie’s bubble started to blink rapidly in desperation, and Jesse rushed to interject before she could say anything, “I know who it is.”

Before anyone could react and without missing a beat, Cassie responded, “Is it you?”

“Wha- No! I’m not going to say names without any further proof, but it’s not me!”

“That sounds like something a suspicious person would say.”

Jesse’s had just about enough of this ginger, honestly, “And how would you know what a suspicious person sounds like?”

“Like you, clearly.”

“I am not-!”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Gabriel grabbed Jesse’s arm and pulled him away. “We have more important things to worry about.”

Right. Finding proof.

~~~~~~~

It was a hassle, trying to get everyone to agree to stay in the same room while Jesse, Ivor, and Petra took a look around. Eventually, they reached a compromise when it was brought up that Ivor was the one who saved Sparklez. Unfortunately, part of that compromise was they had to bring Cassie with them.

He risked a glance at the golden bubble blinking rapidly with determination and sighed. This was going to be a long night.
