Blushing Game

(Mystreet boys x reader)

How long does it take to make them blush?

Garroth

- bro folds almost immediately lmao

- He definitely tries!! After all, he was used to putting on a face in front of others back in O’Khasis. Surely this wouldn’t be too different

- But there’s no hiding things from you

- All it takes is one sweet nickname for him to start melting

Dante

- He… also tries

- He’s definitely more competitive than Garroth. A few of your first few flirts are only met with smug smiles and comebacks

- It only takes a minute or so for all the compliments to finally get to him

- He looks away as he tries to hide his red face from you

Laurance

- for a moment, you thought this man was nearly unbreakable

- Nearly all of your flirts end with him shaking his head and smiling back at you

- He tells you “try harder, love” and “aww you can do better than that”

- If anything, you’re the one that starts getting flustered

- You start to lean closer, whispering in his ear

- You tell him you love him, how much he means to you, how you can’t imagine loving anyone else

- The closeness, along with how sincere you are, is what finally gets to him

- He curses under his breath as he leans his forehead on your shoulder

- He mutters that he loves you too, just loud enough for only you to hear

“But Kris, if I wanted to watch Anim vs. with all the different series how should I even go about it??”

It largely depends on the topics and cast you’re interested in seeing. The show is split into three subseries as well as the occasional standalone episode/miniseries: Animator vs. Animation (the original created in 2006-7 by Alan Becker alone), Animation vs. Minecraft (the longest and most popular, shorts stemming off a standalone from 2015), and Animation vs. Education (the newest from 2023, visualizing high-level STEM concepts)

Personally, I think core AvA is required reading for anyone who has appreciation for past eras of the internet, UI, or principles and genres of animation. AvM and AvE are equal in quality but honestly you won’t appreciate them as much if you aren’t familiar with the topics they cover. Alan and his team do try to visually introduce things step by step, though, so you can at least get a general idea of what you’re looking at

Besides that, core AvA specifically follows the Hollow-Heads, hand-drawn stick figures created by the Animator, “noogai”/Alan. In particular you have The Chosen One (shortened to Chosen, Cho or TCO) and The Second Coming (aka Second, Sec, TSC or Orange). TSC is the de facto main character and the only one appearing in all three series, while TCO and the Animator are exclusive to the original.

The SticksFight squad - the four sticks originating from sticksfight.com and named after their colors - have developed distinct personalities as the main cast of AvM, but only take a collective side role in main AvA (Yellow has a slightly larger role than the others). Here’s a summary of their individual personalities so you know what to look for in their smaller appearances

Red - Impulsive and energetic, always the first to jump into action and with a soft heart for creatures and beasties. He’s a little simple when it comes to technical things, but excels with reading the people around him, then building off of their quirks. Since the rest of the group babies him a bit, he puts in extra physical work to prove he can hold his own. Red also tends to play around with new or out-of-the-box solutions - knowledge that extends to his pranks. Most ready to fight with his fists or use heavy-hitters like maces and clubs. (Good intro/focus eps: The Rediscovery, Texture Pack, Monster School, The Prank)

Blue - A mellow fellow! Blue is one with nature and focuses on farming, cooking, and potionology. Due to her pacifistic tendencies, Blue prefers to reason things out or find other solutions rather than fighting, but will throw herself into the face of danger for others. Otherwise she takes up ranged weapons like guns and bows. She’s detail- and aesthetic-oriented as well as graceful, but doesn’t often step outside what she knows. A bit of an addiction to nether wart, which is somewhere between an unusual snack and a drug. (Good intro/focus eps: Potions, The Piglin War, The Chef, Blue’s New Superpower)

Yellow - She loves more than anything to get down to the root of things, and that makes her the group’s engineer! …And a bit of a troublemaker, paying more attention to the thrill of a discovery than the consequences. Yellow tries to find fairness and justice for friend and foe alike. While they have a reliable, supportive demeanor, they’re also very peppy, excitable and tough with how they stand strong in dire situations. Often her fighting style takes place behind the scenes, using things like explosives or a command-casting staff. (Good intro/focus eps: The Roller Coaster, Command Blocks, Lucky Blocks, AvArcade Games)

Green - Originally the weakest on the team, but has since come into his own after a lot of reflex training (read: getting tossed around). Green has great adaptability to learning new techniques and getting creative, particularly with styles of music and architecture. He loves the spotlight and usually competes with the others or takes the chance to show off; however, he also cares deeply about welcoming in those he meets. Dashes and zips around all the time during battle, usually via fishing rod-grappling hook. (Good intro/focus eps: AvYouTube, Note Blocks, PvP, The Dolphin Kingdom)

If you’re just gonna watch the REQUIRED ones this is what I recommend:

AvA s1 (1-4, previously I-IV)

AvMinecraft (original)

AvYouTube

AvA s2 (5-8, previously “shorts” combining into V)

AvMath

AvA s3 (9-ongoing)

That way you get the introduction of both subseries, with how each establishes the cast/direction, as well as one standalone. I put vs. YT here since it best fits the theme imo but you could go with vs. Pokémon or vs. Arcade Games if you prefer

If you’re willing to take on AvM/the rest of the series this is pretty much the order of the timeline:

AvA s1

AvM (original)

AvYouTube

AvM shorts s1 (1-14)

AvLeague of Legends (required for an AvM character’s development)

AvM shorts s2 (15-19)

AvA s2

Other standalones (Blue’s New Superpower + vs. ___)

AvM shorts s3 (20-30)

AvE (ongoing)

AvA s3 (ongoing)

AvM shorts s4 (ongoing)

Influencer Arc (1-3 + some interactive videos on the Greenzilla4 channel)

Watching tumblr blow up about Hermitcraft and other Minecraft YouTube series is honestly so entertaining

Especially as someone whose only knowledge of this topic comes from the fact that I got a wild life smp video randomly recommended to me on YouTube last week

Like I watched it and was like “man that was highly entertaining and I recognize a bunch of these names, it seems popular I wonder what people are saying about it online”

Only to log in to Tumblr.com and be flavor blasted by insane amounts of lore

Like I am so confused but I like looking at art and everyone is super talented. It’s like being lost in a beautiful flower meadow but everyone around you are losing their minds and talking about poppies and lilacs and season? Also the Watchers??? What ever those are. I have no idea and no time to watch like 18 seasons of content but I’m definitely having a good time

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

[d8tl55c]

orange with a diamond sword.

rage.

shiny blue tip towards green's neck

where he lies knocked down in the grass.

orange takes perfect care of this sword - it's his best. even a brush of the tip cuts.

all see him, and remember

and flinch.

orange raises his sword over his head.

it would be a killshot.

the rest are too shocked, angry, worried by how angry, stalled by cognitive dissonance to act.

the blade falls.

he stabs the grass, deep through the roots and soil and stones below.

orange storms off, leaving his best sword behind.

red sees.

remembers.

follows him.

blue is frozen down in the flowers by the pool.

yellow gathers blue. his scattered pieces, so to speak, come back together briefly from her coaxing.

green, trying to salvage it, approaches them.

laughs- wrong- jittery, measuring in his mind the distance orange's sword was from his neck... less than a short blade of grass

(tasted horrible)

but the show, the show, the show must go on.

he smiles, opens his arms wide with bravado.

"it was just a-!"

"get back," blue barks.

he's angry, but it's wrong.

he's angry and something else, something which rises and intensifies and sharpens the details as much as it swirls them.

it's just green, green and his insensitive gags, and a nice cherry forest under the sun.

it feels too warm, too bright, too dangerous.

"but," green approaches.

blue backs up.

green has less of blue's trust than that zombified hoglin.

yellow steers blue away, glaring at green.

"just LEAVE IT," she says. less loud than the others, but the most stern.

green wilts, alone in the clearing.

"we need a break."

red finds orange hiding behind a cherry trunk a few minutes away, trying not to mutilate too many flowers.

upon eye-contact,

they remember their own thing... in the desert. the lush caves. it got bad before. good on him that he left to cool down.

red is twitchy, too. can't unflatten the cat ears, so frustrated.

what to do?

red offers a duel.

orange accepts.

1. normal duel?

or

2. cat duel? lol.

mostly unserious from the beginning, they crouch to all fours and leap and swipe at each other. tussle and roll and work up to that genuine, playful competitiveness.

it always devolves into tickling. red gets orange to laugh. orange retaliates by scratching red under the chin. this instantly paralyses him. /pos

that was fun, and red is happy now

but...

orange wishes it was this easy with green.

he huffs sadly. still furious!! mostly sad.

orange tries to get up and do something.

red, purring, pins him to the ground for a snuggle.

orange struggles.

red deliberately-accidentally kicks him in the head while readjusting.

so instead of jumping into some fool plan

they get comfortable

and talk.

red is a little better at hiding it... (or suppressing it...) but he wishes it was that easy for green too.

if you try to hold green back,

he might just drag you through the mud with him.

blue is more fragile.

he never liked pranks, much less...

he can't even think about it. everything's fuzzy. focusing his eyes makes him more dizzy.

the pink looks darker, swims together into a uniform texture, red red red and the trunks are the same dark purple of the brick and he's falling-

yellow doesn't know what's going on, but she suspects that blue understated back then,

"oh yeah! and i got knocked into the lava pool, haha. wow, that hurt."

so she's approximately half-ready when he stops walking.

she halts too. "you okay?"

blue squeaks.

yellow steps in front of him.

he grabs her shoulders, like she's a ladder dipping into the-

ah. lava. yep, definitely some unresolved trauma there. she spots the bark color of the cherries and nods, theories forming in her mind.

the blue sky sure is a different color.

. .. ...

oh!

Yes!! there are zero cool colors in the nether, except for that dark teal fungus biome.

"hey, blue."

blue is still clinging to her shoulders.

"check out the sky right now."

he trusts her, so even while unsteady, his head jerks up. "whh...?"

slowly, his eyes begin to focus through the clouds.

it's overcast, but only the Minecraft version of cirrus clouds that let the deep blue atmosphere peek through.

it's a perfect Minecraft Overworld day.

the delicate pinks and greens of the trees compliment an endless pool of sky.

this is the opposite of the hard, brutal Nether.

blue's grip on yellow loosens.

she gets worried for a moment- but it's then clear it's because he's started to stand on his own again.

she pats his shoulder - his "good side," he jokes, the one that spent the least time cooking in service of the baby piglin - and leans against him.

he leans back.

a few minutes pass.

"i need to get that checked out," he laughs softly.

"yeah," yellow sighs. "you really do."

[thatstoomanysausages]

I cant express how much I NEED to see Grian on the Imp & Skizz Podcast, I’m not fucking with you I’m going insane. I need fifteen hours of that man to talk and provide long conversation about anything and everything he enjoys doing, how his journey in YouTube was, his stories of Maui and Pearl, his friendships with the Hermits, ANYTHING.

I love learning facts about my favourite CCs, and not in a parasocial or creepy way, I swear, but I love the long streams of his where he just talks to chat while he grinds for diamonds or end busts. A lil chin wag with a friend, fun moments, chill vibes with someone who just enjoys to talk about things. Simple things. He could talk me through how to make a Victoria sponge cake and I’d be content. More Hermitcraft geoguessr with Scar? YES Absolutely. Endbusting with Iskall? Incredible. A 3 minute clip of Grian just being silly during his friends’ streams? Love it.

The mundane moments in a CCs content is like falling asleep to your parents reading you a bedtime story. Like an audiobook.

I hope this doesn’t sound creepy or invasive, because I truly don’t want personal information, I just want to know his thinking process about his builds, the inspirations, how his friends gave him ideas. It’s 2:30 and I’m rambling and I want to sleep.

[monodramatic-cannibal]

not utmv/utau related

I would sell my soul to have Dredge but co-op. But like an official game not a mod.

Like I just think it would be so much fun, like each player has their own boat, there's no name tags and more mimic type enemies to lure you in. In game proximity voice chat also sounds super fun, just yelling at each other.

Genuinely sounds like such a fun game to mess with your friends in, e.g. leading enemies to them, ramming their boats maybe more tools in the game which can mess with friends.

Just give me a silly stylized horror fishing co-op game.

[smellslikesouls]

the problem with realistic minecraft villagers is you’re immediately confronted with how obviously antisemetic they are

i hope we see them in the minecraft movie so society at large can be like “wait wtf mojang”

[possiblyi4657]

So! I keep on saying i want to post here more often, but then i forget and leave this account for another year BUT THIS CHANGES NOW.

Here’s some cool bridges i built yesterday in creative Minecraft, i am super proud of the design and will definitely upload more screenshots of either my bridges improved or if i build something else that im proud of!!!

[leaf4e]

Heres the underground cave city screenshots

The main entrance street

The rest is under a readmore since its a bit long

the library (& rooms in the back)

the bakery

continuation of the main street & offshoot, and farm and houses

another street (the other offshoot from previous) and its own offshoots

the park and its offshoot (where the offshoot in the last image from the previous section leads)

misc (inside of a house and the (then) in progress construction of another large section)

More info:

I accidentally found the end portal around here and unintentionally built this almost right next to it above it. Its a bit further than i remembered but its very close and would have covered it when i finished if i ever did. I found the portal accidentally by mining into the stronghold, before we even had blaze rods.

I built this underground about 1000 blocks away from spawn and it was one of my real secret bases. I had a fake house at spawn i never really used, another a bit further but still in walking distance (but hidden behind a forest where no one really went)

It was going to have mushrooms, mushroom blocks, mycelium, leaf blocks and grass everywhere but i lost my silk touch pickaxe somewhere and couldnt add them (i found it months later when i logged on for screenshots for something else. it was in the joke-cult that was secretly a cover for something else's chests. i thought it was someone else's because it was there and i asked and it was actually mine)

I was going to have a large area in an underground ravine that had houses connected by bridges and stairs

It was mostly built around 2022-23 or so before i took the server down because i was the only one playing at that point

[theintelligentfool]

hey! i'm still thinking a lot about the minecraft movie and how much potential there is to take the plot in just about any direction - i understand why it would be impractical at best to try and make a film adaptation of the fallen kingdom saga, but that would probably be my favorite...

all this to say: i would love to see other people's takes on potential plots! i think it's actually kind of a lovely way to capture different people's relationships to the game - so reblog this and add (on the post or in the tags) any ideas you feel strongly about? :0

[katethevampire]

Wait the Minecraft movie teaser is real I thought that was fake. It looks AI generated or something, why is it animated like those Minecraft in real life videos.

[tropicalcontinental]

After Parkour Civilization can we all collectively watch Oneshef's videos

[laurmaus]

another one +uncolored ver (can u tell i skipped school today

[kazzykatt]

is it just me or there's a lot of pressure when it comes to christmas eve dinner? Clean the house, wear uncomfortable clothes, spend money on food you don't like for people you won't see until next year

[yuttikkele]

oh my gosh it’s Minecraft story mode BRRRRRRR(internal screaming) time
