Honestly one of the best additions to the update

I just wanna know what CA was on when he decided to add a secret underground maze accessible by staircasing through Lewis' bedroom, guarded by a flying pair of his boxers.

i always forget about seasons 7's whole obsession with Mumbo's irl face and always get jumps cared when I see it just in game randomly

CW: Scary image ahead.

So I do not usually post about the soundtrack videos since, well, there is not really any other images to show other than the thumbnail. But, with Mayor Grimm’s theme, there appears to be a selection screen for all the soundtracks in game, which is pretty cool. (You can actually see a similar menu in the video of Escape Junction Level 3’s soundtrack.)

Creepy Easter egg, I love it! (reminds me of that one title screen jumpscare from “Really Happy Mouse”, still scares me to this day.)

I love how they look similar to N&Q in the “ULTRAnumb” animatic, with the dark tentacles around their limbs. Maybe they saw the animatic?

Happy Halloween Everyone!

grabs u by the shoulder. hey. hey u. have you've ever wanted to learn about a mcrp arc with themes about violence and the death of innocence, scary arcane experiments, political murder, and interdimensional travel where u meet alternative versions of urself?

well if any of that sounds awesome to you, BOY DO I JUST HAVE THE THING FOR YOU!!! midmysticx's egg arg in lifesteal season 4 has all of that!!! it had to be cut off short because of meta reasons, but with what was released so far, it was. So Cool .

now i HIGHLY recommend checking this out for yourself (a curated playlist that i made can be found here! it's pretty short but. imo the themes of it carry it in SUCH an interesting way), but if you don't have the time/want more. propaganda reasons why you should watch it, there's more under the cut!

(mild cw though for the "having a voice in your head through magic items/powers" trope! it plays a very small part in the story, but i'd figure i'd give a heads up just in case 👍)

ok so like. this arg happens in the canon of lifesteal season 4 (lifesteal seasons fully reset like hc seasons) and the main "progatanist" of this arg is c!midmysticx/c!mid, and most of the "lore" is told in the format of vhs tapes

that being said, c!mid is a little confusing in the way that s4!mid is implied to be a different character that c!mid from other seasons

i say that bc s4!mid made an "application video" for lifesteal, citing about how shes excited to join (even tho cc!mid has been a part of ls since s2)

also. very interestingly, mid excludes herself from the s4 start in a replay shot (even tho cc!mid was present during the s4 launch)

and interesting enough, s4!mid seems a bit. naive in the application video? like she mentions she's "good at editing" as one of her attributes on why she should be added to the server and mentions. nothing about the violence of the server (other than introducing the mechanics of the server which is LITERALLY about killing people to gain hearts and losing hearts when you get killed)

halfway through her application video, though (after a few months passed according to the date on the bottom of each video) she sounds very. bitter

the video changes to be all in black and white and she starts asking: "why? why do you all kill and ruin friendships and betray? all for hearts?!"--a MUCH different demeanor than what she had when she started. bitter and resentful, almost, compared with the excitement she showed earlier in her "application", and it ends with her announcing she stole the dragon egg and she's made 4 trials for people to look for it

anyways, moving onto the first tape that takes place ~around 2 months before the shift in demeanor, s4!mid starts to record video tapes about experiments she's doing with the dragon egg, eventually combining a heart with the dragon egg and opens up a portal

she doesnt know what on Earth it is so. shes testing it out right. like any person with safety concerns would

and well uh.

she puts a pig through and it fucking died

so . Erm! not a good start

anyways she eventually feels a voice/urge calling her to go through the portal even though she knows its risky, but she's been having such bad headaches that she goes through the portal anyways, ditching her plans to figure out how to control the power of the egg before going through it

and uh. heres where things get confusing again because this is where. the interdimensional stuff comes in

she arrives in an unknown location right. and. jumpscare . it ends up being a manor (and i'm just gonna call this mid "murder mystery!mid" bc the manor is the same one in one of her other videos, a halloween special where mid + co do a whodunit)

and basically, s4!mid witnesses a mayor election (which is a big part of murder mystery!mid's story), and after s4!mid explores for a little, s4!mid and murder mystery!mid eventually . make eye contact

and um. you see. s4!mid accidently eavesdrops (im assuming so? there's a tape of that and its been established that s4!mid films all of them herself) on murder mystery!mid's plan to kill the mayor and Uh. s4!mid. ends up also witnessing murder mystery!mid's murder as well

s4!mid gets chased and has to go back to the portal to escape, but the issue is. the portal doesnt bring her back to lifesteal. it brings her to eclipse smp

AND FUCKING BRINGS HER TO ECLIPSE!MID'S GRAVE

she eventually sees someone crying over eclipse!mid's grave before going away into the woods before hearing a sound and running away

that's where the arg (unfortunately) had to be cut off but like. Still. the part that makes me constantly rotate this arg in my head is the fact mid literally saw her own death. the different versions of her. her witnessing a version of her that was Willing to commit murder. the whole change in demeanor in the application video in such a short time .

anyways, if i had to homebrew an "ending" to this arg, i think mid would have traced back and started to Learn more about the other versions of herself, and eventually had a character arc where she just. witnesses all of this destruction and pain and suffering

and just. Realizes how much of that there can be and realizes how much stuff like that effects lifesteal and how. pointless it is in the end.

and eventually, in a last ditch effort to have everyone work together again and despite all she's been through, makes the egg arg

also on a meta level it would make sense i think (since a lot of the actual arg puzzles involved trust and working together and trusting your teammates)

and on the topic of the egg arg meta, it fucking worked. the lifestealers did work together and put trust in each other even when threatened with death to solve the arg.

it did bring lifesteal together. even just for a little bit

and i am just. man thats fucking cool!!!!!!

not to mention just. the cool character study stuff you can do on c!mid. the thought of seeing yourself throughout all of this. realizing about how these things can effect you in different ways. witnessing your own death TWICE. and by the time to come up because of it, you're a changed person on a fundamental level. and in the end, looking at the thing that caused all of this, and throwing it out there in a last ditch effort to make things right again. in the worst scenario. even though you're bitter and angry now. you try anyways.

that concept is so. cool to me . i wish more people talked about it but yk. this is me throwing my hat into the ring

egg arg my beloved fr <3

Just listened to the dolls of new Albion and wow I love it so much. The music is so good and not a single one of the characters is capable of loving normally, there is so much wrong with every single one of them. Please listen to this musical it is genuinely brilliant.

I may have rambled a bit under the cut:

Annabel - literally resurrects the man she kissed ONCE in SCHOOL into the body of a doll that can't talk. The song Annabel has a doll is so tragic to me, because you can hear the hurt from her past seeping through it. The way she is so childlike in it as if this is the first chance she's truly had to be a child, and the small little anecdotes about her father, you really see why she is like this, and you pity her - she is just a small girl who was forced to grow up so soon that she never got a chance to grow up. But in the end she does come out of this dream and sees that the doll is unhappy and lets it die again, and you feel so sorry for her, but also glad that she manages to let go finally, even though it takes her a while.

Edgar - this man is genuinely awful WHAT is wrong with him, he gets rejected by a woman, goes into the attic out of depression, finds the formula to resurrect people and thinks hmm I could make a business out of this, but it's also his insane revenge driven plan to get the woman back so he orders people to financially ruin the man she is currently with, and if that wasn't messed up enough, then BLACKMAILS her into being with him by resurrecting her father and saying she can't speak to him unless they get married. He sucks so bad he exploits people's grief for profit that he uses purely to manipulate a woman into being with him, who clearly stated that she absolutely did not want him. I actually really like him as a character because he is so irredeemable in such a human and unpleasant way. I don't know what it is about characters who suck but I enjoy them a lot. He was also played by Tim Ledsam in the production I watched which was a jumpscare. I was not expecting the Mechanisms in my musical. It didn't help that he was wearing basically the exact same clothes as gunpowder Tim. That may be part of the reason I love him, but I do genuinely enjoy characters that are Like That, for some godforsaken reason.

Byron - another interesting one. WHY are you in love with the doll that has the resurrected spirit of your grandfather in it, that's slightly disturbing, also why are you trying to elect him as mayor he can't speak? He fascinates and baffles me. The way he doesn't really see the doll as a person, just forcing what he believes it should be onto it is a bit reminiscent of Annabel, but he doesn't realise he is wrong, he is just living in his own little world and doesn't notice that the real world is burning around him until it is too late and just doesn't listen to anything else.

Priscilla - arguably the most sane person here, she still dies for the doll, but she listens to Jasper and understands him, she is just trying to end this torment and let him be happy. "Circles never stop themselves" is an insane line and the reversal of the "sometimes when you win you lose" form earlier to "sometimes when you lose you win" I am not okay about. The way everyone before her has desperately tried to cling to the things they desire, sacrificing everything to have things that they ultimately can't and all it does is cause pain. Then she comes along and has only the thing she wants, she has Jasper, but she gives it up willingly because she understands that even though she wants this, it's hurting him and she can't hold on to what she loves forever because the world doesn't work like that. She learns to let go in a way none of the other generations did. And she breaks the circle.
