#personally whitepine is just okay

[djevelbl]

aaa hope you dont mind the ask, but like,, youre a clownpierce fan too right? lol

i heard about winterpine and im curious about it, you mentioned watching some of it (mightve been scrolling through some of your posts)

is it interesting? i was debating checking it out because im curious, and clownpierce is in it, but i dont know what its like or what channel its on. also should i block the tag to avoid spoilers if i start watching it do you think?

Well, I am a ClownPierce fan and I have watched Whitepine so this is as good a place to ask as any! And don't-cha worry, I like answerin' asks all the time! :D

I'm not sure what the Whitepine tag contains right now but it might have certain out-of-context spoilers, like most general fandom tags do, so if that bothers you it might be a good idea to block it — personally I wouldn't, mostly bc the series isn't that long as of right now anyway: it currently has 3 episodes of around half an hour each, more or less (31 minutes & 19 seconds, 32 minutes & 47 seconds and 25 minutes & 34 seconds specifically) and the story is barely starting; there's things to be spoiled about, sure, but nothing too major either. I wouldn't worry about it.

In terms of how interesting it is, however, it depends — personally I thought it'd be better, but it's also because I discovered it through someone who was singing the series some serious praises like it was the second coming of Jesus Christ in Minecraft series form; not the favor he thought he was doing to the series, honestly. The series is a murder mystery period drama with Ivory as its protagonist — Clown does appear but he's not constantly there, so if you wanna watch it expecting Clown to be there all the time, it's probably not for you then. The series also has a lot of lingering shots and silent scenes where not a lot seems to be happening, and it might make the episodes feel longer or a little boring, but it has good cinematography going on, and the character interactions are fun regardless, so there's always that to look forwards to. Ivory is a charismatic, soft-spoken protagonist and is partly what made me stay through the rest of the runtime for the series — it's a decent show all things considered, but because it's barely just starting (the first episode was posted just two months ago, so.) it doesn't have too much meat to its bones yet; if anything, I'm sticking around for Ivory's character, Serapter's, Pyroscythe's and Clown's, plus the intrigue of how IvoryTV (the main storywriter behind Whitepine) is gonna unravel the mystery, not necessarily due to the currently laid out story.

The channel it's being posted to is IvoryTV, though looking up Whitepine on youtube should be enough to find all three episodes — hope this was the answer you sought for! 😊😊

ayup art blog i need to ramble a tad before i head off i LOVE the ways minecraft can be used as a medium for storytelling. there are so many things; dream smp, whitepine (which is awesome btw check it out if you haven't - it's just getting started), fable smp, the life series, lifesteal - haven't watched it but ive heard a lot about it it's all so interesting to me one thing ive always liked about dream smp specifically is the way it wasn't made to be a lore smp - it started off as just a fun survival server with friends and over time people made characters and stories and expanded on things and the fandom came out with amazing aus, artwork, animations, songs - it's absolutely incredible what can be created out of a source material. the fact that there were so many things in both the dsmp fandom and other fandoms that were enjoyed by people who had never seen the source material and knew almost nothing about it - passerine, man. passerine was and still is absolutely incredible. it's definitely one of the most memorable fanfictions to come out of the dream smp fandom that ive seen. there's so many others too that i may not have personally read but ive heard a lot about - bones in the ocean (?) is one of them there's something so cool to me as well about having multiple perspectives to watch something from - there's no main character because everyone is the main character in their pov. of course, on dsmp there ended up being a sort of "main storyline" in which tended to focus on tommy, tubbo, dream, etc. but there were so many other stories going on at the same time. i was personally most invested in the "main storyline" but i could recite bits of various characters' lore there's no other medium i can think of that can do something like that. shows may have a plots, b plots - but it's nothing like this. it's such an incredible, unexpected medium for storytelling and ive personally created some of, if not my favourite ocs through minecraft. storytelling through minecraft and other games has been such a big thing to me and i truly hope it continues to be that for people okay, thank you blog and goodbye (for now until i have more art) !

Alright just finished watching whitepine and here are some of my initial thoughts (spoilers under the cut):

Firstly, I absolutely love the main cast so far and I think all of their introductory scenes were done incredibly well and set them up as characters very nicely. Also Pyro's introduction being him vomiting after waking up and then staring into the forest was kinda chilling and gives us some interest in his character (<-eg. why was he throwing up?).

I also absolutely love the character dynamics so far, especially between Serapter and Ivory (bro istg if sth bad happens to either one of them or between them I will not be okay). Also liked the almost friendly dynamic between Mysty and Pyro but well that was short lived (<-and might be part of Pyro's story going forward who knows). Also love Clown being. Well just Clown tbh. He is perfect for his role I feel.

Ivory's character and characterisation was also amazing and I like having a protagonist who is on the quieter (and really also the more mysterious) side. Like there isnt muh exposition in her dialogue and all we really know about her, as our protagonist, is that she plays the piano, seems to have no personal possessions besides the clothes she was given otw to whitepine, is a hard worker and that something *might* have happened in her past that "stunted" and might even still be haunting her.

I also love how eerie every single shot we get of the forest or even just in relation of the forest is. Like Pyro staring out the window into the forest in the morning, the wide shots of the forest in the bg during Ivory's garden stroll (which in and of itself was absolutely chilling for some reason) and then obviously there are all the times Ivory keeps looking at the forest as if something were out there that neither the others (maybe with the exception of Pyro but that is a HUGE maybe) nor the audience is aware of yet. Talking about Eerie, Ivory playing the Piano being cut off literally DURING the first chord is not only insanely chilling to me but also feels like some form of foreshadowing for something that is yet to happen.

Then there is obviously the murder, which I personally find interesting for the reasons that those wounds did NOT look like they came from a weapon they were much too organic (Idk if that is the right word tho) imo. Also the shots of them running up to the crime scene was absolutely perfect.

That is all I have to say for now maybe there will be more soon Idk I might ramble

hfjone liveblog bc I've heard this one is intense and i don't want to wait for the 29th to be shattered again /hj

using this playlist

EPISODE 1

0:04 - okay so this is already starting out WAY different than the other ones I've seen /positive. like. just from STARTING to watch this I feel this like. aura of "yeah this is going to be INTENSE" and- oh hey chess pieces

1:04 - character that isn't named after the object they are?? WHAT HE'S GONE????

(credits) - woah okay. WOAH OKAY. so, confirmation that it takes place on (an alternate timeline) earth. watching this kinda made me think about like. the sort of energy? of the start of each object show. like, ii is really upbeat, a bit low quality but made with passion, reminds me of total drama a bit, probably bc of MePhone's voice in ep1. bfdi had a gameshow vibe from the very beginning, it felt simultaneously natural and manufactured. but ONE? one is dark. one is the blues. one is six people being kidnapped. it feels like, idk. muffled sound. tv static. like an ellipses in 102pt font. silence demanding not to be filled.

●●●

anyway onto episod- oh there's a post credits scene

I- ..YOU SEE?? like that silence is LOUD AS FUCK. like that's "deep in an alleyway you're lost and alone" kind of silence, even though the scene was a grocery store. like the energy this series is radiating reminds me of WHITEPINE.

EPISODE 2

4:23 - sorry to keep mentioning ii while watching this but like. that limb thing is...familiar

14:08 - the fact that it's still nighttime when tomato is sent back implies to me that, while it has been a week on The Plane, everyone who gets eliminated will be transported back to both where and when they were taken from

EPISODE 3

9:59 - Airy has no idea what he's doing, does he.

14:58 - oh I never even thought stone would have malicious intentions...hm

EPISODE 5

4:50 - oh there's. nowhere to vote in the description y'know I probably would've figured out that votes are fake if I had checked earlier

8:48 - ...I- I know what she's doing I think. "oh I can pay for [presumably life saving] surgery myself, I spent what you gave me on a TV and a phone" the candy guy I forget his name, saying he pointed out the warning she refused to wear a helmet? she. she's not trying to get rid of the mold, is she. she's using money as an excuse.

EPISODE 6

5:12 - oh Airy is. actually evil? or.?

EPISODE 7

1:56 - did he.drive home? drunk? 2:19 - oh that was Before.. huh.

4:48 - what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck wHAT THE FUCK- uhh.

EPISODE 8

1:47 - th. the. what the fuck. th- the entire show is powered by a ball connected to a wire. y'know if I had a nickel for every ti

5:55 - what the hell is that supposed to rnean

EPISODE 9

2:27 - dystopian ass billboard

3:53 - an address?? and holy shit stone knew he would keep those when he left huh.

(credits) - this show is amazing. this episode feels like a finale. because it probably IS the finale, of seeing the show from Backpack/Liam's perspective - or at least the gameshow (named one). or at least that's what it seems like to me. also the soundtrack fucking SLAPS and BRO THE DESCRIPTION THIS IS SO LIKE. POETIC?? d u d e

EPISODE 10

0:00 - the definition of rattlepate is "(ˈrætlˌpeit) noun. a giddy, empty-headed, talkative person; rattlebrain". interesting..

8:09 - sorry I don't have much to say about stuff, it is interesting, I just. I've been like half-speechless through this whole thing.

EPISODE 11

2:42 - you would not BELIEVE what my immediate thought was seeing that spoon character.

3:39 - what?

oh

5:09 - uh. 5:21 - TEXTY!! 5:44 - OH I saw a meme once where the airhorn was a Yippee instead-

EPISODE 12

1:21 - Liam is a telemarketer.. wait that link. SEASON TWO??? moldy with no mold. 2:00 - these. these images are censored very strangely. a- autophobic. afraid of being alone.. WAIT WAS TOOTHPASTE THE ONE ON THE OTHER CHAIR

[exile-arc]

hiiii :3 i'm FINALLY making a pinned. 3+ years on tumblr and Im finally making a pinned.

I change names a lot but for now you can call me Eliza or Doc (or Khads if we're mutuals)

I'm fine w any pronouns but rn im liking she/it

probably greyace & greyaro but idc okay i literally have homework to do

quite possibly the only muslim in dsmpblr right now (if u r in the same boat id love to be friends!)

minor

Im kinda awkward but i love talking to people!!! hmu anytime (i speak french too)

if u want to get the full eliza ctommy-antigone experience i'd reccomend opening ctommy-antigone.tumblr.com as i am quite proud of my blog theme (it's anemone by seyche & it works on mobile too!)

webweave, moodboard and stimboard requests are open!!! u can request any character, dynamic, theme etc. from any of the fandoms im in, or just a general motif from. life ig?? it'll probably be done within two weeks but who knows

zionists + terfs get blocked on sight dont fucking try me (plus anyone being racist, sexist, antisemitic etc, but these two are what I've seen the most on tumblr)

this website gives you a random vetted palestinian fundraiser to donate to

here's a list of fundraisers that are very low on funds (will update this link regularly)

here's el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's spreadsheet with several hundred verified fundraisers

I do NOT support cc!wilbur or cc!dteam!

that being said I will be reblogging stuff about their characters, if this makes you uncomfortable i understand but this is probably not the place to be (I will tag it upon request though)

idgaf abt queer discourse i think ppl should use whatever labels they want as long as theyre not hurting anyone

also dgaf about shipping discourse ok i dont even like shipping most of the time (too aromantic for this <3) but i follow the ship and let ship principle & if i cared to align myself with any side in this stuff ig id be an anti anti? but also i dont care

i might block you if u post a lot of sbi or c!emeraldduo, it's nothing personal i just dont like them

we mostly post mcyt here (primarily dsmp but also many others including life series, sdmp, lifesteal, and more recently whitepine!). ctommy has been taking up a worrying amount of my brain space since 2021

other interests: hypertext fiction, Joan Didion, musicals (specifically ghost quartet, heathers, hadestown, merrily we roll along and into the woods), rottmnt or tales, the lego ninjago movie, alex rider (the tv show, the books are alright but i personally like the show better), web development, and poetry

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: fics masterpost, webweaves masterpost, neocities

I don't have much of a tagging system but im TRYING okay. ctommy stuff goes under #chommy <3, clingyduo under #the clingysss, interactions w/ mutuals goes under #friends tag, stuff i really like is #fave or #fave ever.
