People who enjoy neighbourly shenanigans on Hermitcraft! May I recommend False and Ren:
Theyāve got lore (Demise 2, Minister stuff, Big T), infrastructure (rivers and helping out with each otherās bases), lots of pranks and shenanigans (both pranking each other and other hermits)
They twaddle and hang out at each otherās bases so much. Falseās second channel FalseLive is filled with vods of her and Ren just hanging out. Like thereās sooo much stuff of them to binge (and more to come because they will inevitably collab again)
They pretty much end up near each other at some point in every season so theyāre a reliable duo if you get invested in them. They were neighbours in HC6, started out neighbours in HC9 then did Blue River Raceway with Etho, and theyāre sticking close by each other in HC10
All their storylines are so wholesome and cute :3 The famous MCC9 Blue Bats (which is their favourite shared moment), Ren getting the final kill in Demise 2 for False, Ren saying he cannot think of a more worthy winner for BRR, Falseās Minister of Transport sign being the only one that remained after the Ren explosion slash execution, Ren giving False a multipass to her base, and on it goes
Shared motifs: winning things, races, crowns / royalty stuff, rivers / ravines (HC6 ravine neighbours, HC9 river raceway, HC10 Big Business rivers), flowers (Ren seems to love throwing flowers at False? Like that time he prank spammed her base with flowers. And of course gifting False her fav Minecraft flower for her birthday :3)
Ren hasnāt been in a MCC team with False after 2021 but MCC has always been their thing (Ren saying heāll only play when on a team with False, False saying she misses Ren and going āwhereās my teammate š„ŗā)
Sometimes in the middle of their episodes, theyāll have a short segment of them pranking the otherās base. Thereās no explanation or connection. It is what it is.
So yeah theyāre really funny and sweet together :3 I also like how they work on builds and infrastructure together, itās satisfying watching them come up something on the fly and then they somehow make their madness into reality

If you're willing I would love the link to the fic š
Yes. Let me just copy and paste what I put on the actual post because I kinda need to get back to my actual job now lol
It's called A Wheel Inside A Wheel by natsinator. It's a role reversal AU for the scifi novel/anime series Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is sprawling, politics-driven space opera about a war between an authoritarian, imperial empire and an increasingly corrupt democracy. The empire side of the story centers on an rising star commander named Reinhard, who aims to overthrow the Kaiser in order to create a truly just regime. The democracy side of the story centers on national hero Yang Wenli-- a pacifist, aspiring historian who is stuck in the military through both circumstance and, unfortunately, being really good at his job.
This AU proposes an "alternate" history where Reinhard lives in the democracy and Yang lives in the empire. It's very good and maintains both the source material's dense political and militaristic machinations while also juggling an expansive ensemble cast of characters.
I think you can read this without knowing the source material, but I highly recommend getting into it anyway. I watched the 1988's OVA series last summer and went clinically insane. Is the story very opaque and filled with (allegedly) 500+ named characters? Yes. It never got dubbed, so it turns into a lot of reading. Does it also have an intriguing plot bolstered by a bunch of iconic characters? Oh my god, yes. You will get so wrapped up in watching the story unfold and wanting the best for all the principal characters. You can watch the entire series for free on the Internet Archive.
There is also a 2018 remake that is still ongoing. I only started it recently, and it's not bad. However, in its pursuit of brevity, it also gets Reinhard and Yang, the beating hearts of the series, wrong. I guess they're in character, but the nuances that make them lovable and make you root for both of them are gone. Honestly, if there was in-universe propaganda about either character, this show would be it. You can watch it on crunchyroll.
So yeah. Please get into this. I am chewing my arm off. If I think about Yang Wenli for more than 2 seconds, I enter a wall-staring vortex that lasts for ~20 minutes

groguj23 asked:
Hi Rainbow š Love your blog.Hope you have good weekend. Have you heard about [redacted]? I came across and they were talking about Born To Fly in their topic . Nothing much about DD but more about the production. Do you think this will effect the international release of the film and DD reputation.š¤ May I ask what is your view on this. š
Hi Groguj23!
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog!
Sorry, I removed the name from your ask because I don't want to advertise those clowns.
No, I don't think any random team of obscure internet pundits can impact DD's film or reputation.
HOWEVER I think it's important for fans to understand that some of the projects GG and DD are involved with, once they have an international release, are going to come under heavy critique from some people (just as projects, ideas and stories from the West are often heavily critiqued in China). These two regions are constantly at odds with each other and often treat each other as their #1 enemy.
There is also a huge amount of Sinophobia in the West, and that will always color how Chinese projects are received.
There is also the fact that many of these projects are propagandistic in nature and present things in a certain light, and/or serve a bigger communications purpose than entertainment alone. There is a political angle, a messaging angle, that we should be conscious of when viewing such projects.
Born to Fly is a perfect example of this, given its subject matter as a military propaganda film. The planes featured in the film are the same ones that have been harassing and threatening Taiwanese airspace for months.
Turtles should be prepared to see this film ripped apart in Western media. It's just the way things are fairly likely to go.
Would that negatively impact DD's reputation or career? I highly doubt it. Those who are savvy to the political situation will understand that DD is operating within a system that is outside his control, and he has a right to star in a film about his country's military just as Tom Cruise has a right to star in that unwatchable dreck, Top Gun Maverick.
Those who aren't savvy are often bigoted or misinformed, and nothing DD or any other Chinese person could do would ever be acceptable to them. Their opinions don't matter.
The main factor likely to impact DD's reputation with most international film-goers is whether the film is any good. Is it fun to watch, does it tell an interesting story, are the characters compelling? Does DD give a good performance, even if all those other elements are weak or lacking, and even if the entire project is politically offensive to Western audiences?
I have faith in DD's talent and commitment, but a film is a team project. If the direction is bad, if the script is bad, if the production is bad, no amount of talent or skill on DD's part will save it.
DD is an actor. Every actor takes risks when choosing projects. Every actor is subject to the whims and interests of audiences. Some reviews will be bad, some will be good. We need to accept that and just support him as best we can.
Turtles need to develop a thick skin and understand that the more famous GG and DD become - the more they are placed in front of broader audiences - the more criticism they will inevitably face. Having one's performances and projects ripped to shreds is just part of being an actor. Everyone should prepare themselves ahead of time, and understand that not everyone is going to love them or love their projects as much as you or I might.
And in this particular case, any criticism will likely be about politics, and will have very little to do with DD as a person or as an actor.
Hopefully the movie will be good and will be well-received. If it's not, don't take it personally or allow yourself to be rattled by it. DD will be just fine. This is just one film among many he will make.
The next one to be released after Born to Fly is One and Only - a film I suspect will be much more accessible/palatable to international audiences. So even if Born to Fly is heavily critiqued internationally (and we don't yet know how that's going to play out so there's no sense worrying about it), any stain on DD will likely be short lived.
I'd also caution fans not to get an inflated sense of the importance of international audiences to DD's career. It's the Chinese audiences that will have the real impact. International audiences for a project like this are miniscule compared to those within China. Chinese audiences are the ones who will be determining DD's success or failure as a film star.

what are your top five video games?
Had to think hard about this since I am objectively bad at video games and havenāt played many. However, they hold such a dear place in my heart that I feel qualified to make a top 5 list:
Minecraft- No surprise there seeing as itās the only game here the I have/can actually play. Grew up with it all around me, not only from youtube but because itās been my dadās favorite game since itās beta (guess who got me into hermitcraft and third life lmao). Shout out to the Vault Hunters mod pack for being the best ever. My vh propaganda will never cease.
Splatoon 3- Was considered not included this, let alone putting it this high, until a vid about brella buffs in patch notes released and I was hyped as hell. So yeah itās here. Itās such a good game, easy to watch and understand, and is not afraid to be uniquely itself (considering itās a nintendo ip). Will always boast the fact that I predicted N-ZAP becoming meta during release. I tried to play it onceā¦ I donāt know how to use a controller lmao.
Street Fighter 6- I originally heard about it because of the castās elevated character designs and was intrigued. Pro tip: if you ever want to get into a game franchise, watch other peopleās reactions to character/gameplay trailers. The amount of second hand serotonin Iāve felt from the sf community, devs finally listening to the player base and giving them a game centered around having fun instead of the competitive scene, is unreal. The visuals are stunning and easily recognizable/understandable for someone who has never set foot into the fighting game genre.
Needy Steamer Overload (Needy Girl Overdose)- Never understood why people held video game soundtracks so highly until this popped onto the scene. THE SOUNDTRACK ABSOLUTELY BANGS. Someone did drum covers for some of the songs and they are just so good. The game itself is no joke either and is so fascinating on a visual and psychological level. Itās a psychological horror steamer sim for a reason. My number one game recommendation for any streamer to play. šBLESSš
Kirby: Planet Robobot and The Forgotten Land- I LIED I HAVE PLAYED THIS ONE I FORGOT ABOUT KIRBY. Itās Kirby! What more can I say? Both are on here cause idc itās my list theyāre both incredible games. If you like traditional Kirby games, play robobot. If you donāt like them, play Forgotten Land.
honorable mentions: p5r, stanley parable, donāt starve together, acnh, pokemon sv, and totk (itās sooooo much better than botw seeing as it had an ACTUALLY TUTORIAL IF I SEE ONE MORE PERSON COMPLAIN ABOUT āPOINTLESS TUTORIALSā IN GAMES ITS ON SIGHT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HEADSHOTS EXISTED IN BOTW SHUT UP)

A Very Important Message:
(TW: Mention of Suic*de)
Hey everyone, this is Muggle speaking and I wanna give out a very important message:
For those who donāt know, recently a Miraculous fan from the Latin American community took their own lives due to receiving harassment and bullying online. This person was stated to be a fan of Lila and even found her to be sympathetic and relatable. Now I know that in itself is controversial, especially if you have watched the show since the beginning and have studied and viewed Lilaās behavior, but that is not what weāre talking about. What weāre talking about is that this person was badly harassed, bullied, and made fun of so much by the Miraculous fandom so much that they ended up losing their own life because people refused to accepted their different opinion. This personās family, friends, and even partner lost a child, a friend, a possible future spouse, and Iām upset that no one wanted to talk about it with the exception of a few fans, and this made me want to bring up the topic on why Iād made this blog in the first place.Ā Ā
Not before I begin into details about the reasons why I made this blog, I do wanna point out that the obvious elephant in the room:Ā
Yeah, Iām pissed off and upset that this happened. A possible young person passed away due to how badly the fandom treated them over a controversial opinion. Go figure. Why wouldnāt I be? This person didnāt do anything wrong except have a different opinion involving a cartoon show. There was no harm being done, no one was getting hurt, all they were saying that they liked Lila; and if this doesnāt show how fucking bad and shitty that the fandom, the showās fanbase has become in the last 7 fucking years it has been airing, I donāt know what to tell you because this is just heartbreaking and frustrating to explain. Want more detail, go to my main blog @muggle-born-princess where I explain it on under the tagsĀ āml saltāĀ because it is there. The whole story is there.Ā
It's really sad to see how far a show, a fanbase, a cartoon that is meant to be mainly for kids of all people has gone too far and has promoted itself to be pro-bullying propaganda! That it is teaching the wrong message that liking the mean girls is wrong because if they can't redeem, then clearly their fans can't! š I really hope Thomas or Jeremy or someone on the Miraculous team; hell even a voice actor from the team speaks up and explains to the fandom have far they have gone.
My condolences go out to the fan's family, friends, and their significant other. šā¤ļøšÆļø
Now that's out of the way, let's talk about why I made this blog in the first place that can correlate with what happened.
For those who don't know, I made this blog out of dedication to those who loved either ChloƩ as Queen Bee or ZoƩ as Vesperia, or who loved both equally. Either they never had a problem with one getting the miraculous, they find both girls interesting, they think both are awesome, whatever the reason may being. This was made as a place where both ChloƩ and ZoƩ fans can interact with one another, make AUs featuring them both, share ideas and opinions, and yes even if they must, submit their salt to me.
Now admittedly, Iād never been the one to take salt all that well. While I have respected it, some of them rubbed me the wrong way. There were even times where I had to turn the other cheek and not interact with it due to knowing how messy and controversial it would become in the end. Hell, nowadays, I filter salt tags due to how overwhelming they are. However, I have to admit a majority of MLās salt is accurate to say the least, so thatās why I decided to have my blog be open to it. Even if people still had a problem with Chloe and/or Zoe. Lord knows I know, especially on the latter.Ā
Therefore, this is where I now come in and say while I am open to salt and having it be submitted on here, I do wanna make it a very important and very clear message:
DO. NOT. GO. OVERBOARD. WITH. IT!Ā
I think thatās the number one rule when it comes to the internet. Never let your feelings go overboard; especially salty ones because thatās where the drama happens. Iāll confess, I myself have been a victim of this mentality too. I had let my own salt get the better of me where I either ended up with numerous fights, had people turn out to hate me, or I became the immature one in the end. Therefore, thatās why I had to filter salt tags and be careful with what I read or what I come across as salt, so I wouldnāt have to repeat my mistakes, and I donāt want any of you guys do the same. So in the end, Iām asking you, please donāt let your feelings overboard you!Ā
At the end of the day, I donāt care who you love, who you hate, who you find more or less redeemable. Thatās not the issue I have. The issue I have is that Iām tired of letting everyoneās salt and hatred towards certain characters ruin the experience for everyone else in the fandom. Fandoms are meant to share your ideas, your opinions, your creativity. There are not here to be hateful or mean-spirited to the point where, by law, YOU cause someoneās life!Ā
Iām not a big Chloe or even Zoe fan, and while yes, I havenāt been the most mature on the latter, even if you go back to my older posts taggedĀ āZoe salt,ā I have said a lot of rude things about her and I am sorry for that. Most of it is outdated, and while I do still have my problems with her, Iām not gonna make it a big deal anymore.Ā
I made this blog for fun, not for hate.Ā
Please have a good day where ever you are and please remember to stay safe and be careful what you say; you never know who can be behind that screen and remember, whatever you say online, it will always be there.
