#what can i say i love silly redstoners

[kay-valencourt]

Some hermits I've been watching this season!!

[blocksruinedme]

Jimmy may have a bad memory but he is a CLEVER and hardworking boy

who pays very close attention to how other youtubers do things, and takes notes, and works so hard, and now he has 810k subscribers because he knows how to do it.

(well, sometimes clever and always hardworking)

context:

If anyone wants my spreadsheet just lmk. my data mostly came from the youtube wiki and MaxData's visualization of new life smp members' subs numbers. oh, i'll include that!

Jimmy was at 609k when new life started in may 27. he made a (lovely!) pink house.

Twenty one days later he's gained 201,000 subs.

Between cpk and pix now probably, having jumped ahead of oli & pearl.

Y'all when people talk about jimmy being dumb, watch and think how much is an atrocious memory, and how long is not being quick to understand things. If he settles in and works at it! If he's in a group event in mcc and not individual! If he has a strong team captain in mcc who he can listen to! (he's said the last one is how he succeeds).

Jimmy can fucking do it, just in his own way - and he doesn't care to put a lot of effort into learning some things that some viewers want. As I barely care about minecraft, I do have an interesting perspective here! <3

Jimmy can't just get by on his minecraft skills plus his winning smile, comedic timing, charisma, and skill at social rapport and interpersonal... okay I've made it sound like a lot but he has some brains. Those brains just don't know the recipe for... things I also don't care about.

Jimmy Solidarity. You appreciate him. Good.

[pup-pee]

ASHFGLJHKFA TY??? IM GLAD PPL LIKE THE ROSS DESIGN specfically my redstoner 1 BC I HEOSNTLY HAVE NO DIEA WTF IM DOING

srry about the spam booping btw i kinda just zone outttt kjfhdkj

HERMITCRAFT CATCHPHRASES

Hi, here's a (hopefully comprehensive) reference list of hermit catchphrases! The main goal here is to help writers and artists who (like me) might struggle with getting the characterization of some hermits right. Check out more info at the end of the post!

Note: this list updates a lot whenever I get new suggestions, which means reblogs aren't always fully accurate. I've linked this post to the top of my blog so it's easy to access the most recent version :)

More Info

So I'm currently writing a HC fic and realized how little I know about some of the hermits (I unfortunately don't have time to watch all of them), which made it really difficult to depict them properly in my writing. I'm assuming at least some of you might also struggle with this, so, here we are!

If you know of a catchphrase from any hermit from any season, comment, reblog, send me a an ask or dm, dm me on discord, whatever works the best :D

Note: when I say "catchphrase," I mean anything a hermit repeats over an extended period of time. It can be something said during a single season (like "You'll speak when spoken to!" or "Hermit Challenges!"), or something that spans their entire careers (like "Aww snappers!" or "Plonker"). I'm not looking for one-off quotes that are never bought up again — there's some great sources (like @hermitcraft-correct-quotes) for that already :)

Sources (which will hopefully expand with time): This reddit post from four years ago This other reddit post also from four years ago Reddit from three years ago This cute diagram A more up to date source Another Xisuma's dictionary on his website HC character tv tropes page This incredible google doc

okay not to waste energy being mad about the minecraft movie of all things but I am actually kind of heartbroken by how cynical it feels.

for example, making the creatures that inhabit the world offputting is so indicative of the underlying attitude the film seems to be taking to me. how many millions of minecraft animals, despite being pixels and code, have been genuinely loved by players around the world?

minecraft, despite everything it’s associated with these days, is incredibly earnest in a way that I feel few properties are these days… and genuinely one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. in its surprisingly melancholic moments in a solo survival world. in the laughs it’s given those far apart from beloved friends, allowing them to be roommates in a beautiful forest cottage or a volcanic fortress or a treehouse palace they’ve built together when thousands of miles apart. in the things people working alone and together have made of it- libraries of banned books made accessible through the medium of the game, scale models of worlds real and fictional, redstone machines with intricate circuitry and incredible intelligence and diligence behind them, in the friendships forged in the pursuit of these creations.

minecraft is collaborative and creative and contemplative in a way few games can be. minecraft, to those who have ‘beaten,’ it, says: everything you need is within you, the darkness you fight is within you, the light you seek is within you, you are not alone, not separate from every other thing, you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code.

minecraft, when so many games are about escaping from yourself, is about connection with your self, your creativity, the plants and earth and animals and structures around you, the people around you.

for it to be, in this context, a self-referential, debasing cash grab, is not a surprise to me but does feel like a disservice to what the heart of this game is, and symptomatic of a wider trend in a storytelling climate increasingly dominated by spin-offs and reboots and tie-ins and remakes. the writers could have had the courage not to break the fourth wall, not to point and laugh and decry the silly memeable ‘get a load of this guy,’ block game, (and by extension ridicule themselves,) but I understand. it’s the same instinct to make the self-effacing joke before you can be laughed at by others for showing your honest self, to cringe from the vulnerability earnesty demands. that’s fine. personally- and I’m probably not alone- I just wish it wasn’t this game.

[wizardprime]

the batfamily play minecraft

alfred: i don’t believe he can physically interact with computers

barbara: there’s always one person in the group who can do redstone and here it’s her. builds all the farms everyone loves having at the beginning of the game like the ender ender and a villager trading hall. as usual everyone would fucking die without her. servers she doesn’t join never really get off the ground for the most part because everyone is so used to having her farms on hand and gets lazy to play without them. would probably really enjoy elaborate progression mods like feed the beast

bruce: doesn’t get it. “what are you supposed to do?” “just whatever i want? that sounds silly.” if he gave it a chance i think it could be great for his mental health. i mean mining is basically meditation let’s be real. but let’s also be real he would try it for 5 minutes 30 if his kids really did the puppy eyes and then he would wander away and get killed by a zombie

cass: hard to say, honestly. depends on from what angle the game would be presented to her. she would probably enjoy the hanging out and the cozy atmosphere but she doesn’t strike me as the type to enjoy very grindy games beyond mindless resource gathering. she’d like hopping on the batfam server while everyone else is online and dicking around but alone i think she would just wander the landscapes aimlessly without progressing the game much.

damian: he’s collecting all the animals. 2.000 dogs and no sign of stopping. at least just as many cats. has wrangled half the passive mobs into his house, which is a wooden cube with a roof. it should be ugly but mostly it’s just really charming. i think he would enjoy the foxes

dick: also doesn’t get it. i think he’d prefer story based games or just straight up board games. he would enjoy the communal aspect and if someone introduced him to hypixel or something he would like that but i can’t see him enjoying casual minecraft unless it was a story based adventure map of some kind. he might like blightfall

duke: stacked. plays the game and plays it well. he has netherite armour while everyone else is just getting iron. he just strikes me as a minecraft kid. only other person who’s halfway decent at redstone, but only uses it to make cursed contraptions that give everyone else a headache.

jason: not the most impressive builds or the best with pvp but he likes to explore and creates really elaborate beautiful storylines into all his builds and the environments he cultivates that end up dragging half of the others into the plot. the kid who built fences around villages to protect the citizens from monsters. would enjoy mods that expand the minecraft world like better end.

stephanie: would play with incredibly silly mods that are all only working together with glue and hope. finding incredibly niche categories of speedrunning to complete just for fun; she actually gets briefly famous for setting a decent world record in something and would probably have many twitch followers if she didn’t already have med school and vigilante work to manage. maybe in another life

tim: doesn’t understand the term sandbox game and refuses to learn. he logs on and starts playing achievement hunter. not necessarily in a speedrunning way, but he does play the game like it has a tasklist. perpetual dirt hut tenant. either that or his unsupervised internet access as a child has lead to minecraft youtuber trauma

[k-asternix]

The expansive, seemingly infinite crater of the perimeter makes for some nice eye candy, Grian thinks.

He's sure Doc would object to that characterisation. That is, if Doc were present and able to read Grian's thoughts. But for now at least, the buttercup camp is occupied only by its rightful owners: Grian, Mumbo and Scar. The three of them are sitting on a soft pastel picnic blanket. Grian is in the middle, with his wings wrapped comfortably around the two other men.

It's a rare peaceful moment between the trio. He doesn't mean to disturb that peace but the mental image of a god-like, omnipotent, omnipresent Docm77 is too powerful not to provoke some kind of reaction.

He giggles and his attempts to stifle that giggling only serve to worsen the situation: pretty soon he's full on laughing and there's nothing he can do to stop himself.

To his left, Scar groans "Griaaan. I was nearly about to fall asleep and you just woke me up! What's so funny, huh mister?"

Grian rolls his eyes at Scars dramatics, not intending to give an answer but then Mumbo pipes up "Yes. I'm also curious to know what's got you in hysterics."

"Well… I was just thinkin'.... wouldn't it be funny if Doc was like… an all seeing mind reader?"

"Funny?!?" Scar shouts "Grian, that's terrifying!"

"Hey, in my defense it isn't real! Doc can't actually read anyone's mind."

"I mean…mind reader Doc could be real." Mumbo hums.

"What do you mean he could be real?!? Oh, if you two keep up with all this crazy talk I'll never get to sleep!"

"It's not crazy talk." Mumbo says "Think about it: Grumbot prime came from a different universe, what if that means there's a whole multiverse out there? It wouldn't be so much of a stretch to say that Doc could be a mind reader in at least one of them."

"Mumbo, that's horrible." Scar whines, burying his face in Grian's feathers.

"I don't think it's horrible. If Mumbo is right and there is a whole multiverse that means there's a universe where there's…I don't know…infante theme parks?"

"Or a world of infinite Jellies! That would be so cute! Okay, maybe the multiverse isn't so bad. Wait! Do you think there's a world where we're pirates?"

"You were a pirate," Mumbo points out "back in season six."

"I had a pirate base. But I wasn't living the pirate life. I didn't do enough pillaging and plundering."

Now that's a scary thought. Scar, sailing the seven seas and robbing anyone and everyone he comes into contact with—Grian has no doubt that pirate Scar would be a force to be reckoned with. He can imagine it clearly.

"Maybe there is a world where you're a pirate." Grian muses.

"Oh I don't doubt it! Say, Grian, Mumbo, what would your ideal universes look like?"

Mumbo puts his hand to his chin "I'm not sure. Mine would probably be something silly. Like a world where the rules of gravity are mailable or where there's more redstone parts to play with or where I have crazy unrealistic superpowers."

"Mumbo, in my eyes your redstone making abilities are a superpower."Mumbo laughs, flushing red at the compliment. "I'm not sure if it's a superpower—" he turns to Grian "Err—what about you? What's your ideal universe?"

Grian looks up towards the sky as he ponders the question. He tries to imagine something better than what he has now but his mind draws a blank.

Really, he has everything he could need; seemingly endless building supplies, time and space to work on his various projects, the freedom to do what he'd like, friends who love him and are willing to put up with his constant pranks. Some nice eye candy.

Grian shifts his gaze back to Scar and Mumbo.

"You know, I think I'm living in it."

[azuritethehermit]

May ask for a sickfic please?

You decide who got hit with the whole shebang (fever, headache, fatigue, stomach pain... you decide) and who's taking care of whom.

Totally not related to the fact that I am currently burning up but am basically home alone for now so there's nobody to be sweet to me about it

-🐈‍⬛ (if that's not taken. I'm here for the first time ^^)

This is so cute, Mumbos a little silly goose and likes to overwork himself to sickness and Grian wants him to stop.

(DISCLAIMER: I'm writing about the characters they portray and their minecraft personas not the people in real life)

"Mumboooo" Grian flew down next to Mumbo scaring the life of him almost.

"Oh gosh" He sniffled quietly. "Grian you scared me." He sucks the snot back up into his nose.

Grian laughs "Sorry Mumbo" He says sort of in a sing song voice. He then notices that Mumbo seems a little off today.

He cocks his head to the side a bit, "are you feeling okay?" He asks Mumbo worried for him, he knows how he overworks himself.

"Huh, oh yeah. Just a little sick" The tall mustached man seemed to be lost in thought at the redstone before him. He sighs and turns to Grian and notices him staring. "What?"

"Mumbo you're sick? Why aren't you stopping?" Grian questions the man, he holds his hand up to the tallers forehead and feels the warmth radiating off of him. "Good lord, you're running a fever. We've got to get you home." Grian attempts to grab Mumbos hand.

"What? No? I have to finish this contraption." Mumbo argues with the winged boy, but he wasn't giving up that easy.

He grabs Mumbos wrist somewhat more forcefully this time, "No Mumbo, we're going home."

Mumbo sighs and nods, deciding his mind is just too feeble right now to disagree. He does feel sick, and he feels like he could pass out any moment, but he doesn't want to worry Grian anymore right now.

"Thank you Grian, I wouldn't have stopped if you hadn't dragged me away." Mumbo smiles at the gesture. Grian had always been such a good friend to him. He didn't wanna ruin that by telling Grian he was in love with him.

"I know, you've got that work ethic." The avian sighs, "sometimes I think it's too strong." He mutters almost to himself. What Mumbo didn't know was that Grian was also in love with him, he wanted to care for him and make sure he rested when he was sick.

Grian brings Mumbo back to his house and quickly puts him into his bed, "okay! I'm gonna be your personal nurse for today Mumbo." Grian smiles, jokingly saluting to Mumbo.

"Mm thanks Grian, you're the best." He says sort of delirous.

Grian hums and runs into Mumbos kitchen to grab a cup of water so the sickly man can hydrate. He brings it back to him and helps him sit up. Grian sits on the side of the bed next to Mumbos knees. Grian hands Mumbo the cup of water with a tender look.

"Grian you really don't have to do this, I can take care of myself." Mumbo sighs and takes a sip of water.

Grian smiles again, "I know, but I want to take care of you. You're important to me." He takes Mumbos hand in his own after the ravenette sets the cup down on the side table.

"Okay, lie back, I want to try something, and I want to know what you think." Grian has that mischievous look in his eye. Mumbo however does comply laying back against his pillow.

Grian climbs on top of him laying his chest next to Mumbos heart beat. "Grian..? What're you doing?" He asks nervously.

"I'm listening to your heartbeat and breathing, hush" Grian hushes Mumbo. The redstoner decides he's going to take advantage of this situation and he wraps his arms around the smaller limply.

"O-okay," Mumbo stutters out the word quietly as Grian lays on top of him. The compression of the boy is actually nice and makes Mumbo feel safe. He feels more relaxed. He slowly drifts asleep arms wrapped around Grian like his favorite stuffed animal.

Grian looks up gently and smiles. He attempts to climb off him, but Mumbo just turns to grip on tighter so that they're both laying on their sides now. Grian blushes even though he knows Mumbos asleep.

Grian loves him, he knows for sure. He'll be sure to let him know after the two wake up from their cuddle session. And with that, Grian too fell asleep in the arms of his beloved.

~~~

I hope you enjoy and get better soon <3

[aannonn]

Going through some things right now,

but seeing and making ColorGang content makes me happy so

I got more headcanons! xd So- like- A part 2 of this post? Probably lol

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed sharing it! <3

╰┈➤ Whenever one of them is sad, they will immediately pull each other into a big group hug. Saying comforting words to the other. Watching some movies. Drawing and/or animating together, and etc. Just doing everything they know it makes the other happy!

﹌﹌﹌ They also won't pressure the other to tell them why they are sad. They just want to be there for each other in their darkest nights. ❤

﹌﹌﹌ They will hear each other out, and will do their best to be there, not only for the one who is sad, but also for each other.

╰┈➤ They are all really dramatic. Not in a bad way, but like- They can speak, but at the same time they are speaking they are also doing many movements and motions as they speak because they are dramatic like that lol

﹌﹌﹌ Alan can't hear them outside the computer, and since Orange is the only one who knows how to talk to Alan, the rest of the group just does many moviments and motions so Alan could understand what they are saying.

﹌﹌﹌ Alan doesn't understand a thing, so Orange often speaks for them, but at the same time Alan doesn't really mind and, instead, finds it adorable xd

╰┈➤ Green didn't taught only Orange how to sing - even though it didn't really work well xD - He taught the others how to sing, too!

﹌﹌﹌ Red is a quick learner, so it wasn't too difficult to teach him how to sing.

﹌﹌﹌ Blue was a lil' more difficult, but it wasn't that hard, either. - Green suspects Blue used potions to learn how to sing, though...

﹌﹌﹌ While with Yellow, surprisingly it was harder to teach him, but he got the hang of it eventually.

﹌﹌﹌ So- Basically; Orange is the only one who can't sing;')

╰┈➤ Yellow is the most intelligent of the five(5), but he also often uses only one(1) braincell when doing shenanigans with his friends...

﹌﹌﹌ He's such a genius when it comes to technology and redstone engineering, but when doing shenanigans with his friends... Oh boy.

╰┈➤ Blue and Yellow are the epítome of; Work Smarter, Not Harder.

﹌﹌﹌ In summary; They are all pretty smart, but they'll often lose braincells whenever doing shenanigans with each other. But can you really blame them? They are kids, after all. They just wanna have fun and fight and just be silly

╰┈➤ The group can often pays a lil' visit to Orange and Alan when they are animating. Either to just watch their father figure and best friend-sibling doing work, or to try to help them with their work.

﹌﹌﹌ They are like lil' kids watching their parents work lol (I do not mean this in a Alan x TSC way...... Plz don't take this the wrong way-)

╰┈➤ It might be a canon thing, or maybe not, but Green loves attention. Any kind of attention is good for him.

﹌﹌﹌ Talking good about him? Awesome! Talking bad about him? Awwn shucks, but cool. Just mentions him in only one single part of the conversation? He's instantly the happiest stick in the world.

﹌﹌﹌ For Green, just talking about him just proves how cool he is. Cool enough for people to even bother talking about him. (and he's so right omg i love him sm)

╰┈➤ Since it wasn't confirmed how tall they actually are, then for me; From Tallest to Shortest; Yellow, Blue, Green, Red & The Second Coming!

﹌﹌﹌ It's not that much of a difference, though. Like- Only a few inches of height difference.

﹌﹌﹌ They will playfully tease each other for their heights though. ;)

╰┈➤ Probably a canon thing, but; They can sometimes get carried away and ends up hurting each other, but they will always make up in the end.

╰┈➤ They have some trauma, not only from The Dark Lord fight, but also from when they fought King Orange and when they got betrayed twice by Purple. They can get a lil' paranoid about it sometimes.

╰┈➤ RYGB are all very forgiving, not just because they are kids and kids usually forgive pretty fast, but because they were unwillingly taught to forgive.

﹌﹌﹌ The StickMans were created to fight, and while it can hurt sometimes, especially when a player gets too carried away, they will always forgive and forget, because they did not have any other choice but to keep fighting.

﹌﹌﹌ If they know they were created to fight, and will keep fighting for the rest of their technology lifes, then what's the point of holding grudges because a Stick got too carried away?

﹌﹌﹌ Most of the time it wasn't even their fault, but the player's.

╰┈➤ Even after RYGB met TSC and finally got freedom from their site, they still can't help but to keep going doing what they were created to do. Old habits die hard, after all.

﹌﹌﹌ They do not dislike fighting, though. They still love having battles with each other, be competitive, and etc. It's kinda like a comforting nostalgic thing for them, to keep doing what they were initially created to do.

﹌﹌﹌ And because being competitive it's fun.

╰┈➤ For me, pronouns do not define gender. So like- I like to think that the ColorGang are all genderless, or atleast they identify as genderless, but they feel more comfortable with he/him/his and they/them pronouns? Gender is something really unimportant to them. xD

﹌﹌﹌ It wasn't important before, and It won't be important now.

﹌﹌﹌ They are, overall, neutral about She/Her pronouns, though. They don't mind it, but not really their preference.

Weell- I think that's all the headcanons that I have about them so far. There will probably be more, though. But, for now, that's all! &lt;3

Now.. I'll probably share my headcanons that I have so far about the RainbowGang(ColorGang + Purple) and HollowHead Bros someday! But, for now, that's it.

It's already 1 am from where I am now so- XD

Welp! I think that's it..? I might do a part 3, since my imagination is endless and I would love to do as many ColorGang content as possible, but, for now, that's it!

Cya u all in my next post! Goodbye ~ !

hello hello! I am insufferable :D (this is really long sorry-)

imagine jimmy and tango so exhausted from rebuilding the ranch and collecting resources for it that the only time they are really together is when they fall into bed and pass out immediately

but jimmy’s hands are still badly burnt from when he was restraining tango, and all that building has Not Helped, but he didn’t stop until tango essentially dragged him away, because of course he felt how much his soulmate was hurting

jimmy kept trying to sneak away when tango wasn’t paying attention (“we don’t have any good armour, we need at least one layer of defence!”) so tango came up with the better plan of just laying on jimmy

it started out as a last-ditch attempt to keep jimmy resting. tango fully expected jimmy to push him off, but instead jimmy just sort of froze in surprise before relaxing into it—it’s at that point where tango realises jimmy is The Most touchstarved person in the world, ever, and will do pretty much anything for cuddles

so what does one do with this information? abuse it, of course!

even after jimmy’s hands have healed (wounds like that heal fast on life games—They find it boring when one person is unable to do anything because of an injury) tango insists on cuddle sessions every afternoon, something jimmy is obviously trying to pretend he doesn’t like as much as he does

tango spends most of the time teasing jimmy about how sweet he is, what with how his will crumbles every time tango asks him for something if he’s holding jimmy’s hand at the same time. so you can imagine jimmy’s delight when he found out tango purrs

they’re especially tired after the whole warden ordeal, both half asleep in each other’s arms. tango has his nose pressed against jimmy’s neck as he rests his head on jimmy’s shoulder, jimmy with his wings around them both.

jimmy blinks sleepily and smiles at tango, who looks like he is about to pass out right there. he moves his head slowly, as to not disturb him, and presses a kiss to his hair.

he almost yelps as he hears a low rumbling, expecting it to be the warden or pearl’s dogs, but as he listens, he realises it’s much too soft to be something aggressive.

for a second, jimmy is utterly confused as to where the noise is coming from. then, he turns back to tango and notices how his throat—currently pressed against his shoulder—has begun to vibrate.

jimmy presses a hand to his mouth to keep from laughing in delight. tango, mr ‘i’m going to bring the warden from the deep dark’, resident redstone mad scientist, creator of decked out, is purring.

“tango,” jimmy whispers gently. “hey, tango.”

tango cracks an eye open, and wow he really is a large cat. “mm?”

“you didn’t tell me you purred.” jimmy grins.

“wha..?” tango does not look awake enough to understand anything.

“you’re purring.”

tango just blinks for a moment, before apparently processing what jimmy just said and going bright pink. “oh! oh, no- I wasn’t- y’see, I just-“

“I kissed your head and you started purring!” jimmy exclaims, partially to tease him and partially because it is, in all honesty, adorable.

“yeah, well,” tango mumbles, trying (and failing) to hide his face. “… shut up.”

“tango, I am never going to shut up about this.”

them <3

HI THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY ASKS FOR MONTHS AND I JUST KEEP RE-READING IT INSTEAD OF POSTING IT.

I don't know if I've ever actually written it, but I'm in love with a tango who purrs. I've assigned this man so many silly cat traits it's starting to get ridiculous. He's got his cat-ish eyes and tail, his purring, his teeth, though there's a special place in my heart for my lovely mutual Theo's hc of something inside him literally glowing, him being toasty warm, and a collective headcanon of him needing his blaze-rod crown to stay energized during the life games. I could go on and on about blazeborn and tango, please hold me back.

And jimmy who won't admit that he enjoys the attention but won't ever say no to it, i adore him. I think about the ranch burning way more than I should for it being a year ago, there's just so much to unpack in relation to what DL was for jimmy as a character.

Also:

mr ‘i’m going to bring the warden from the deep dark’, resident redstone mad scientist, creator of decked out, is purring.

AS HE SHOULD! AS HE SHOULD!! I ADORE HIM.

anyway, I'm still crazy about them! I think about this all the time!! I'm so sorry i didn't get to this ask as soon as you sent it, it's been on my mind since then and i <333

etho is very much a trans woman to me. It took her a veryyy long time to have even an inkling she was trans and then a lot of prodding from outside sources to actually figure it out all the way. She wears a ton of layers for dysphoria reasons (even before she knew what dysphoria was) like the mask, jacket, etc etc, and mostly just keeps her face and body obscured rather than do anything to change her appearance. Her partners (and also the surprising amount of people that just show up and flirt with her) think they have it great during the period just after she comes out because they have a much broader arsenal of things they can say to make her flustered. But then when she realizes she actually enjoys figuring out fashion and appearance related stuff and gets very gender-euphoria-y and confident in her appearance in the same way she's confident in like. her redstone machines it's all over for them because originally the dynamic was 'we are very endeared and in love with etho and it's very cute when she gets embarrassed or flustered by flirting' but it becomes 'we are very endeared and in love with etho and she is suddenly very pretty and she is aware of this and not to flustered to flirt back.' Anyways I think she would love wearing red and black dresses with lots of shiny bits and I think she'd try to figure out how to chemically produce her own estrogen

sorry for ranting abt trans ethoslab in your asks but i project onto that man

no no- you’re ALL GOOD!!!

i really like transfem etho headcanons, and self projecting is VERY AMAZING TOO!!! she’d be an absolute cutie in dresses fr. your ask kinda came in at an appropriate time, because i had previously drawn transfem etho for an art request!!

(and you mentioned about etho’s partners, who are they?? i am SO CURIOUS ON UR ETHOSHIPPING OPINIONS AAAA) (btw i believe in t4t cletho!!!! even better when you shine the beam of sapphicism on them <3)

I’ll admit my views of Dream are a lot more negative than positive.

I don’t love that he made MCC so competitive, but I get why he did. Speedrunner. Good at pvp. Etc. I still felt it was whiny and not in the spirit of a competition that aims to let the creators have fun (in that the intake form has things like “do you prefer sillies or sweaty” and each team has about an equal amount of both) but like. It wasn’t just him for that. I think MCC is much more fun without him and a few other very competitive people, and getting to see more range in creators is more enjoyable.

I think he’s a bit overhyped; but I’m not gonna cite Wilbur creating the manhunt idea or Minecraft but, it’s mostly just. I dunno, reflexes aren’t everything in this game. And someone being a builder or redstoner doesn’t mean they can’t win pvp, and I feel like he was very… derogatory, toward those types of players. The Grian twitlonger comes to mind.

I think he dropped the ball severely on his own server, and it impacted the lifetime of that story. I think rushing everyone to finish their stories and refusing to communicate is dick behavior, and I especially think that ignoring how the women and non-binaries on his server were treated by fans when a statement from him would have gone a long way is a bit of a dick move. I understand that ADHD can make you bad at communicating, but even support or information in private would have helped, or even an admission that he didn’t know.

I personally think the situation with QSMP, something Quackity was publicly working on for ages, and Dream’s spur of the moment half baked idea for something similar, was and is dumb. I think Tommy’s criticism of it was both funny and justified. Quackity wasn’t secretive about this server. Everyone knew it was coming for a while, and the only true surprise was Quackity having the language mod developed to release during the second week of the server. I think Dream’s meltdown about lack of communication is a little ridiculous all things considered. I do wish Quackity had been more able to curb his own audience away from harassment and stalking, and that Dream would take literally any responsibility for the way his own fans act as well. It’s not impossible to curb your community - if Techno could do it despite us all being notoriously feral (I.e. encouraging his community not to hate on squidkid or reminding us that roleplay is roleplay) then it’s not impossible to make a statement and calm the masses some. Dream’s relationship with his fans is very parasocial and I know he fosters that a lot. I feel it should come with some sense of responsibility. Just like Fit deserved to be called out for what he said about the one mod’s mobs, I think these criticisms are fair. (and watching the clip of Fit being told about the implications, I do think “it was a refrence” was meant to be an apology - it’s sorta just how he talks, but I get if people still dislike it. He has gotten more mindful about it moving forward and now won’t repeat a meme/joke unless he knows it’s not hateful, so he has changed behavior.)

I find him to be generally up his own ass, in other words. Which is whatever - it’s not a sin. I don’t like his stans and they are regularly a more intense type of toxic, but I also think most stans of any creator are insufferable. I mostly just dislike that Dream seems to encourage their behaviour much more. He’s young, and so is his audience.

I think his work with Technodad has been overall helpful especially when it comes to donations to the sarcoma foundation. I understand those who feel uncomfortable about it, and I hope you won’t lash out against Technodad for it. Mans has barely learned Reddit, let him be.

I don’t know what to say about the allegations. On one hand, it’s an awful thing to do and I feel for the victims, especially with having to deal with the stans harassing them for bringing evidence to light. I think the victims deserved far better treatment. I think Dream’s reputation would have been far more favorable if he had at least addressed the situation respectfully, and either owned up to the clear evidence or provided evidence of his own. On the other, I get that again, he’s young and people make mistakes. This does not mean I think his victims shouldn’t have come forward or that what he did was okay - only that I don’t think I was smart enough at 20 to handle sudden and intense fame either. In this case (unless I’ve missed it) it doesn’t seem like his messages actually went anywhere, which is a slight relief. I would feel better about it if he had handled it more seriously, because I’m unsure if he’s really learned anything from that situation besides that he can get away with about anything if he ignores it. As is, it feels unfinished on his end and I wish he would own up.

All that being said, I don’t claim to know much about the guy.

I’ve watched maybe two manhunts and seen a scattered few videos with him involved. I don’t enjoy his style much, it just feels kinda fake to me, idk.

Im not sure what my point really was, I mostly just wanted my thoughts in order.

[archivist-the-knight]

i think axel and lukas's dynamic could be really interesting after they all become friends...

axel's a very fun goofy guy who cares about his friends a lot and tends to state his opinion a lot. his worst qualities is that he can be selfish at times and jump to conclusions, but he's actively aware of these and works on them due to his love for his friends. its why he takes the amulet; he knows due to how big he is, he'll be able to withstand a lot more than the others.

lukas is also very silly very sweet, but... due to the ocelots he's a little more serious and straightforward. he's really swell and patient he just isn't used to genuine goofs and more. aiden bullying him </3 insanely sad. his worst qualities would be being brash/too cruel and blunt at times but he begins to work on it once he gets out of the ocelots and gets a healthier friend group.

so... you get a goofy guy who likes to prank and joke with his friends and then another guy who isn't really used to genuine silliness and you get two peas in a pod. i think axel finds lukas so entertaining to have fun with because unlike olivia he isn't really used to his jokes. axel says something and lukas spits out his caramel macchiato and screams "YOU!??!? WHAT/!?!?" every time without fail. lukas finds axel a breath of fresh air because axel genuinely cares about lukas's wellbeing and can tell if he's uncomfortable with something. he isn't too pushy. he actualy cares if lukas is having fun or not. they literally both go from "annoying guy i hate" to "if i dont see this guy in the morning in the order's kitchen having coffee something bad has happened"

also related: olivia and lukas... i think they'd mainly talk about building ideas and how olivia could incorporate redstone into lukas's builds... i'll talk more about them when i have more ideas.

[whataboutsimple]

More obvious hints, please.

Had this on Ao3, decided to post here as well! Funny Lukesstra momet.. Lukas/Jesse/Petra! Green suspenders male!Jesse used.

Jesse never considered himself stupid, although sometimes he probably was, for example, when it came to anything that includes redstone. Still, the boy was almost sure that the explicit hints of his friends should've been a sufficient reason to reflect on their intentions.

    «Hey, shorty, are you stuck there or what?» — red-haired girl shouted from the other side of the river, waving at the green-eyed man — «We stole time from your busy schedule for a lovely picnic, not for you to stand on the bridge!»

    «In other words..» — the blondie guy gave her a silly look before returning his gaze to his boyfriend — «You fine over there?»

    Sighing, the Young Hero cheerfully shook his head, smiling — «Yes, I'm doing just great, nothing more than simple memories from good ol' days when your elite flirting was incomprehensible to me.» — giving one last look to the river, Jesse went to catch up with those who he loved most in the world.

———

    «Your eyes are as green as grass, will you be my pass to the stars?» — Lukas suddenly said, holding paper stars on strings in his one hand, while also holding a ladder with the other. The Star Festival was about to begin in less than two days, so he and Jesse were decorating the main hall in the Order's Temple.

    «Aw, Lukas, what's that? Are you training your romantic skills on me again? Flirt with a pun? That's more Petra's thing, than yours.» — Young Hero grinned, securely fixing the stars on the ceiling while the blond man held the ladder. Didn't they used to say that only close people should be trusted with the ladder you're standing on?

    «It was worth a shot. Be careful with this spot by the way.» — Lukas muttered, slightly blushing and looking away.

———

    «Do you know what they call charming people who don't understand hints? Like at all?» — Petra asked suddenly, on her way to put up a fence around the flowery alley behind Order's Temple.

    «What they call them?» — green-eyed boy asked with sincere curiosity, looking up from planting flowers.

    «Jesse.»

    «Yeah?»

    «They call them Jesse.»

    «Why Jesse?»

    «You-.. My Notch, nevermind, let's get back to work, shall we? Others soon will be here and we didn't finish even a half.» — the girl sighed, looking as disappointed as possible.

———

    «Lucas, look over there! An artist has come to Beacontown! I heard of him, he is painting cute couples of his choice VERY good. I love his works.» — the boy waved his way to older man, examining beautiful works, while the owner of the leather jacket came from behind, adoring cute face of his companion.

    «Good afternoon, young people. I'm glad to finally meet our saviors. Name's Michael, do you want me to draw you two?» — the man turned to them, holding a brush in his hands.

    «O-oh, no, no, we're not-» — the brunette blushed, about to refuse, but Lukas interrupted him.

    «Of course, with pleasure, we will be very grateful! He's a fan of your works.» — Lukas cooed enthusiastically, smiling politely and taking the green-eyed man by the hand.

    «Lukas, we're not a couple.» — Jesse whispered softly, stealing a glance at the artist as he prepared to begin work.

    «We can become one.» — the blond man casually threw, sitting down at the place of posing with the brunette.

    «For the sake of one painting?» — the Hero muttered in surprise.

    «For the sake of one painting.»

———

    «Petra, this festival is simply amazing! How did you find out about it?» — Jesse asked, looking at the village with sparks in his eyes.

    «Gabriel told me. He travels a lot, after all.» — the red-haired woman said lazily, throwing funny glances at the Hero from time to time.

    «I'm sorry, young people! Don't you want flowers? We have special discount for couples today!» — said the woman behind the counter with large bouquets, loudly enough to attract the attention of the duo.

    «Yeah, sure, why not? A bunch of orchids, please, for my boyfriend over here.» — Petra winked, grabbing the brunette by the hand and dragging him to the little flower counter.

    Jesse could feel his face burning — «Petra, we're not-» —but again the poor guy was interrupted.

    «Although, you know, add more roses there. They will go well with his green eyes.» — she smiled mischievously.

———

    «You know, Jesse,» — blond man murmured lazily, resting his head on his friend's shoulder.

    «Mhm?» — brunette growled questioningly, flipping through a new draft of Lukas' book.

    «For someone so great, you're pretty dumb. Pretty AND dumb.» — the blue-eyed man suddenly said.

    «Heck yeah, he is,» — Petra added, putting her arm around the boy's shoulders — «unimaginably stupid and charming.»

    «I- um, did I do something wrong?»— the Hero muttered, feeling his pulse quicken. Could he have forgotten about something? Didn't he pay enough attention to them? Did he say something offensive? Maybe it was that one time-

    Sighing, the redhead hugged Jesse closer to her — «We like you, Jesse. A lot. Both of us do. And it would be nice to give you a chance of choice and all that sort of things, but you know you don't have one, deal with it.»

    «I would say it differently, but she got the point across. We care about you a lot and wonder if you feel the same way?» — Lukas raised his penetrating blue gaze to Jesse.

    «Oh.. oh, uh, I'm.. I mean-» — the boy began to get confused in his own words and thoughts, feeling the redness reach the tips of his ears.

    «Take your time, shorty, otherwise you'll explode like that.» — the redhead said, laughing heartily at her own joke. The blond man only silently spread soothing circles with his thumb on his friend's hand.

    «Oh my Notch..» — Jesse really felt like he was going to explode.

———

    «Yeah, you couldn't come to your senses that day for a long time!» — Petra exclaimed, spreading a blanket in the clearing so that they could get settled.

    «Your reaction was very sweet, although funny.» — Lukas added, taking out the groceries they had brought with them from the basket.

    «You guys could've been just a little bit more obvious with your hints.» — Jesse chuckled, falling wearily onto the grass, — «But, you know? I'm glad things turned out that way. I really am.»

reading ur last reblog and hidfhihs LIFE SERIES BUT POKEMON,,,instead of last person standing its last pokemon standing,,,worlds most painful nuzlocke speedrun ksjfdhslfh

Dude I was thinking of making fakemon based on Life Series members and like. This idea is so big brained...

So I don't have designs yet, but here's my ideas for the primary types they would be:

Grian - Flying

Bird motif, for the most part, but also idea of a bird's eye view, watching over, Watchers...lmao

Jimmy - Ghost

He has such a strong theme of death that I just had to dude...

Etho - Ice

What with the Snowfort and Red (Winter) Army, he has connections to snow and cold. Also ice is a bad type competetively and Etho washed up pvper...

Bdubs - Grass

Mossy guy! Also he likes the sun and uh photosynthesis..? (And he dropped a wither rose in Last Life)

Tango - Fire

It's his hair headcanons but also his love for explosives

Impulse - Electric

Caffeinated animated redstone innovator and also his color scheme!!

Lizzie - Fairy

She owned the Fairy Fort, so I feel like it's only fair. She also likes cute things but can be mean sometimes (like the fairy typing itself)

Gem - Fighting

GeminiSLAY, very competetive fighter

Pearl - Dark

Something wicked this way comes. But also, wrongfully seen as evil! Misunderstood like some dark types okay (ABSOL IS LITERALLY HER)

Scott - Water

Mean gills but also I'm pretty sure water's a pretty good typing competetively? Mainly cause mean gills though

BigB - Psychic

Messing with people's minds by being the liar of all time. Has a motif of deception with his character

Cleo - Poison

Sometimes associated with snakes, but also they have venom behind their words. Lots of vengence.

Mumbo - Steel

A bit unsure about this one but I thought of Grumbot! Also because I associate the steel typing with machinery, and also Mumbo's vampire hc's are funny with this considering steel's probably associated with silver

Some I'm more unsure about:

Martyn - Dragon

Uhh...fantasy smp reference..? Dragon is a really powerful type and Martyn is a formidable guy? They also have a sense of mystic to them with related to his hastag lore..?

Skizz - Bug

I can't do shit to explain myself here uhm uhm. His angel headcanons of wings...his silly little guy energy matches silly little bug...he dies fast in the series..?

Joel - Ground

Mounders? He did dig those holes in Double Life where he was called a mole...oh and also this would make him weak to Scott's typing which is very funny

Scar - Rock

He sells useless things and says they're valuable. See: the crystals of Last Life. Also all his relationships are rocky haha ba dum tss (he is the loneliest life series character I coukd talk about him for DAYS)

Ren - Normal

This leaves Ren with normal which just...doesn't feel right...like. This man is FAR from normal! Most I could think of was like a dog-like a theatre related pokemon, but those could be outside of the normal type! I'm lost...

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed my insanity. Tune in if I end up mystery dungeoning the life series members and making them fight to the death

Inspired by Mumbo's recent Dye-Duction success

Mumbo's POV:

"Yes!" Mumbo shouted as the fireworks exploded on either side of the Dye-Duction wall, drowning out Pearl's giggles from behind him.

"Oh! And flowers as well!" He said, leaning down to pick up a twin to the flower crown already sitting on Pearl's head. It wasn't quiet as ostentatious as the Decked Out crown she had worn last season, but there was something special about seeing Pearl in a crown from a redstone game she had created all on her own with her own two hands. (And a few stacks of redstone she has stolen from his chest monster, but still.)

"Okay, now you have to tell me. Do I look ridiculous?" he asked, adjusting the crown on his head as he turned towards her. The way she was trying to suppress a giggle didn't give him much confidence that he didn't look completely silly.

"You look great," she said, coming over to adjust his crown until it tipped just slightly to one side, mirroring her own.

"But come on back here, I want to show you all the redstone!" she continued, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the side door hiding the labyrinth of redstone he was sure was tucked away behind the wall before he could clarify if 'great' actually meant 'not ridiculous'.

------------------

"Okay Pearl, you have to promise I don't look ridiculous." Mumbo asked after the redstone tour as they walked back up to the flower shop.

"Are you calling my flower crowns ridiculous?" Pearl asked, raising an eyebrow as she glared at him.

"No! No. No, they look great. I love it. I just don't know with the suit if I look silly with the-"

"You do look pretty silly with it on, so..."

"Pearl!" Mumbo squeaked as her glare melted into a teasing laugh.

"Here," she stopped him in the middle of the empty flower shop, lifting the flower crown off his head. She started to pick at the delicate, interwoven green stems holding the crown together, carefully detangling a single fragile stem from the rest. "I'll get you a cherry blossom for magic mountain."

"Thank you thats- actually instead can I, I mean nevermind yes thats-"

His stammering was cut off by Pearl's fingers freezing around the stem of the cherry blossom, her blue eyes suddenly locked on his as she look up at him through the edges of her own flower crown.

"Do you want a different flower?"

"I was gonna say, since its your game and you have- your eyes are blue. So one of the blue flowers from the crown would be, for your game of course..." he trailed off, his eyes finally darting away in embarrassment when he noticed Pearl's blush as she looked back down at the crown in her hands.

"I can get a blue one," she said, fingers already unwinding another stem from the crown in her hands.

"There you go." Mumbo was sure his blush was worse than hers, but Pearl's cheeks were still tinged with pink as she gently tucked the stem of a cornflower behind his ear.

"Thanks," was all he could get out as he brought his fingers up to brush the edges of the blue petals beside his face.

"You at least can do this, Xisuma just looked silly wearing the crown over his helmet," Pearl said, breaking the silence with a laugh. The mental image alone was enough to send Mumbo into his own fit of laughter as he tried to picture it.

"You know I'm sure Ren looks great in the flower crown," he countered.

"He sure did." Pearl said, smiling back as they headed back out to the shopping district.

------------------

Three days later, Mumbo didn't think anything of the blue shulker that appeared in his base overnight. Even when he opened it to find nothing but a tie and a book, it took his sleep addled brain a moment to understand what he was even looking at. He had to pick up the red silk tie and run his fingers over the intricately embroidered multi-colored flowers before it finally clicked.

The note that accompanied it confirmed his suspicions:

Thought this might last longer than a flower crown. And look better with the suit Since you never check your mail, Postmaster Pearl
