every now and then i look back on this GIF i have of nalu during tartaros arc and cry about how this particular scene alone solidifies the beauty of their relationship (natsu holding lucy's hand gently in the face of chaos and panic did wonders to my heart)

Hey mcytblr! I currently have the wild opportunity to pitch an art exhibition to an actual real gallery with whatever theme I want as part of my intro to curatorial studies class this semester.

My plan is to put together a pitch for an mcyt fanart exhibition, with the goal to show that the genre is just as valid in the art world as traditional fine arts. I'm currently very early in the process, and am working on selecting which artists I want to reach out to to ask to include their work in this theoretical exhibition. However, of course, the community is huge and there's bound to be hundreds of artists here I've never even heard of! Especially those making fanart of series I don't watch. So here's where I'm asking for help from the community at large! Please reblog this post with the names of mcyt artists whose work you enjoy, with a link to either their portfolio or art tag! Feel free to link your own stuff as well!

EDIT: PITCH IS ALREADY COMPLETE. please look at the date something was posted before you reblog lol.

for people who have just found out about shubble through all this

i used to watch her videos a lot in middle school. she helped me through a really rough time, and getting back into her content i’ve found she’s just as sweet as she’s always been

if you’re looking to watch some of her content, i’m hugely biased towards Empires SMP. there’s two seasons so far with loads of different perspectives.

in season one, shubble is a gnome trying to save her world. in season two, she’s the Great Witch Shelby. it’s super fun and if you like narrative MC content, you’ll love it! go support her!!

My favorite thing about the MCYT Sexyman poll is that it has 100% breached containment on a multitude of levels. ZombieCleo knows, which means Joe Hills is vouching for his own sexyman-ness, and because Cleo posted about it on Twitter, MythicalSausage is proclaiming himself as the sexyman-est of the lot. It's being discussed on CaptainSparklez' subreddit, it's being talked about in Minecrafter livestreams, even Technoblade's dad is telling fans to go vote for Techno. And above all, almost everyone agrees that GoodTimesWithScar is gonna win by default with very little competition.

This thing has bypassed the walls of Tumblr completely to the point where the creators themselves are campaigning for their own MCYT personas to win, and I've never been prouder to be part of something so silly and joyous.

May the best MCYT Sexyman™ win!

Weekly empires aggie on twitter!! This week a cod father and his unwilling advisor

[matchbet-allofthetime]

Saw a post years ago that pointed out that all the black characters they saw that were represented without racist caricatures were done with white hair (with few exceptions)

And they went on to say that there are too many brown/brown/otherwise POC characters like that (especially women) like Kida from Atlantis

And since reading that, every time I see a fire, badass, beautiful POC characters with white hair, all I can think about is that post

Like Kalim Al Asim from TWST or Kida from Atlantis, Storm from X-Men and Mirko from BNHA. Hell, even Asra from Arcana or Ekko from Arcane/League of Legends

And there are countless more that I've seen done in a similar fashion, too

All of these characters are awesome, beautiful, badass representations that are extremely well done!

But they're all done with white hair. It makes me, as a white person, wonder if artists do this simply because the white balances out beautifully against brown skin

Or the more likely answer, where perhaps they do it as a way to make them 'desirable' brown characters. It feels odd and off (even though I love seeing BIPOC with all sorts of cool hair colours, it's the way it's done that makes me feel strange about it bc it happens so often)

Like,,, let them have darker skin AND darker hair.

Hell, let black characters have darker hair, darker skin, AND ETHNIC HAIR. Give them locs, or braids, or actual coils, or textured hair of any kind. Give them bantu knots, twists, etc.

You can draw all these crazy clothes and spiky hairstyles, but not ethnic hair?

Bullshit.

(edit before anyone sees this: would love LOVE comments/reblogs detailing anyone else's thoughts, especially if you're BIPOC!! as a white person, I'd really like to see your opinions on this frequently-used 'stereotype' in media. I would like to know, too, if my feeling uncomfy with the stereotype portrayed is just me not having any BIPOC experience to personally draw off of or if it's something others feel and notice too.)

Some of y’all may not enjoy this “hot take” but some, if not most, of the fanbases within the Minecraft community need to learn that a majority of Minecraft YouTubers are in their late 20s to mid 40s and are more than capable to talking to one another if an issue arises. And if there is such issues it’s not up to the fan base (aka you) to get involved or try to sway things or whatever some fans typically do.

(Applicable mainly to like Hermitcraft, empires, SOS, and all that general crowd fans as it’s where I see it from the most).

“I feel like they were a bit too mean to Jimmy…” or whatever else, not just Solidarity.

He’s a grown man.If he has a problem with something I’m sure they’ll talk about it after or in the moment where it’s more private as most issues can very well be done privately and it’s not our business! Hell, It’s not our job, as fans who are watching the finished edited product that’s posted publicly, to police shit or put flame on other creators for being “a little too mean”. It’s all in good fun. There is a damn reason why some members make a disclaimer at the start of the video that all this was made in good fun and everything is fine.

If you feel I’m wrong or misunderstanding something (which is possible), contact me privately in DMs. I’m turning off anon in advanced because some of you shouldn’t ever have anonymity LOL.

My thoughts of this chapter

[agenericplaceholdername]

"You will never see the real world" ... "NEVER!!!"

Pro tip: If you make threats like this and don't follow though, no one will respect your villainy.

the artifact storage wanted to shift realities and did it on hilltop because of course it did

[lizzie-appreciationweek]

Hi, im luci! You may know me as the mod of @ethogirltournament. I’d like to plan a community Lizzie appreciation week, as I think she should get more love here on tumblr! I’m in the process of figuring out if people would be interested in participating, so please lmk if you would be! A ran a poll on my main to get a general idea of who would like it, and it was enough to try and set up an account.

If you have ideas for the prompts for each day, also submit those!
