Why is it that the Minecraft community is so unbelievably *bad*?
Maybe that's not the perfect phrasing, but hear me out here for a hot minute, and offer me an answer if you can, it's be greatly appreciated.
I haven't been in on MCYT long. However, I have been on exposing channels for an absurd amount of time, and I've seen a lot of creators rise and fall. Since I got really into MCYT l have seen the falls of Forever, Dream, and now Wilbur Soot, all well known and incredibly popular creators. And all for incredibly serious reasons.
And I don't understand. Is it simply that the power the larger creators have gets to their head? The wrong people get popular? The bad minority shouts the loudest? Because I've run through a lot of circles of the internet in my years, and even just one video game over things are unbelievably calmer.
People preach for their fave creators and prop them up on pedestals or they cast them to their feet and call each and every single one of them a flaming trash bag of shit waiting to blow.
I'll take the Legend of Zelda as an example. I have been involved to some degree in that fandom online for the last four years, and the biggest controversy I've seen was when SmallAnt and PointCrow had a falling out. They eventually reconciled, behind scenes, out of the public eye. But it was unremarkable, and nowhere near as opinionated as every. Single. Conversation. About a Minecraft YouTuber ever.
Their fans don't argue every creator is dirt, but they rarely prop thier favorite up on a pedestal either. (Smaller fandom = chiller fans? Something like that?)
It could be size. It could be that I got lucky with the sides of the fandoms I was on, or that I'm just looking at this differently now.
But I don't get how the Mario community has minor issues with disappointment or embarrassment or getting upset over smaller things that are solved through just being adults and such a large amount of mainstream Minecraft creators are faced with grooming, or sexually messaging minors, or /abusing their partner/. Because where other communities have disputes, MCYT has crimes. And if that isn't something people haven't talked about yet, then I think we should.
#mcyt#shelby shubble#shubble#wilbur soot#I'll post this then I'm going to take a step back#This is neutral enough that I probably won't get burned at the stake#But I need to let the waters settle#for my own sanity#tw: abuse#please help#Shout out to hermitcraft your streamers are shockingly responsible compared to my side of mcyt#They y'know actually act like civil adults#Which is a breath of fresh air

bsd fandom is so awesome because bsd is so inherently gay that we're free from typical anime discussion. if i had to see powerscaling with bsd characters i would do something violent. the contents of bsd simply weed the dudebros out. it's natural selection
#it's beautiful it's perfect#it makes me happy because you can saw almost whatever about whatever hcs and people are like fuck yes Okay#which is a breath of fresh air#also lots of sapphics/lesbians here which makes me so happy#this is also based on my experiences alone in the past few years observing the fandom

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me
#It’s just so different#even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol#in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps#if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it#esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends#no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr#u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS#meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life#this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation#like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !!#& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers#who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them#and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends#it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me#I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc#like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this#so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works#p

me if making fanarts of fictional bands was a job
#i'd be a billionaire#this is how you find out i have not one but two bands in mine and my gf's oc uni#the band's name is werva and they play classic rock/metal#from the left we have jurek - the bassist#ryszard - the drummer#beata - the lead guitarist#and adam - the vocalist. and he also plays guitar they have 2 guitarists because why not#soo this is where it gets interesting because#as i said before i don't really have a main story that i want to tell from the beginning to the end#our universe is more like a conglomerate of singular characters' stories and they're connected to each other#and of course every other stories must have a point of reference#so this. this band is a point of reference to basically everything#the events in which these ocs are involved are like the beginning of our whooole oc uni#and the events of werva take place in late 90s-early 2000s#also a fun fact - there is zbyszek's mother in this band#and a father of some other oc of mine but i will introduce him ..someday#i promise i will also spill some crumbs of werva lore.. but also someday#i managed to make this drawing by a miracle btw. as you already know im literally drowning in schoolwork#but ooohhh creating this felt like a breath of fresh air...#my art#oc#original character#digital art#drawing#band#fictional band#musician oc#ocs in a band#vivid colors#werva

I'm not really a BNHA guy anymore or anything but I fairly ardently disagree with the arguments against Endeavor's redemption arc. The series is continual case after continual case for people being able to be better, and Endeavor's arc is perfectly in line with that. He's a complex character just like the rest of them. Idk. I think it hits a lot of good notes
#i think people have a really hard time engaging with storylines like his in an unemotional way#which is perfectly understandable#but i think the case against abusers just never redeeming themselves is just. not a good one#and i think endeavor's is fairly well done. it's honestly a breath of fresh air to see a character so willingly go 'oh holy shit. i'm awful#idk. i think he's neat#type: meta#(i guess?)#fandom: bnha#bnha#mha#enji todoroki#touya todoroki#shouto todoroki#dabi todoroki#todoroki enji#boku no hero academia#my hero academia

Hero's Spirit: A Vision of Nightshade
All For One did not reach the age of over 200 by not listening to his medical professionals.
He was still looking for a faster way to regain his full vision, but until then the Doctor had recommended him using a cyberpathy quirk to look through security cameras and such, so he wouldn't be out of practice with light levels, colors, and shape recognition.
He didn't enjoy it, because he disliked having his consciousness out of his body (at least unless it was going to be a permanent transfer). But he recognized the value of the Doctor's orders and did a few short bursts a day.
During one of these he noticed Tomura's little rival, Midoriya. (He would allow it until All Might finally chose a successor, then he'd encourage Tomura to switch over.) Midoriya was talking to a young woman on the sidewalk he seemed to know, who was speaking to him fondly. Maybe she had been his baby sitter when younger, or a neighbor? He focused the camera in on her.
She was beautiful, with long dark hair and purple eyes and lips that made a stark contract over pale skin. All For One felt his pulse quicken through his weak connection to his body as his heart pounded in his chest. His mouth when dry and his palms began to sweat. What was this feeling? It had been so long since he felt it? Ah, right. Abject Terror.
He slammed back in to his body and immediately opened the communication like to the League of Villain's current hideout.
"Shigeraki Tomura you will immediately cease any activity targeting Midoriya and any focusing one UA class 1A that might involve him." Tomura, predictably, did not like this announcement. "No! You said I could destroy the things I hate! And I HATE him."
"Tomura if you continue this vendetta we will both die."
"This is stupid! I'm not afraid of All Might-" "Nor am I. He is a pathetic worm that will one day die at your hand. But Midoriya is under the protection of Nightshade." Fear shone in speaking her name.
"Never heard of a hero by that name." Tomura began scratching at his neck.
"Not a hero, no." Kurogiri tilted his head in thought. "Was Nightshade not the name of the first villain?"
"It was. It is. I knew her well, as we had been allies for a time. She didn't seek power, but wielded it effortlessly. Personal power, power over others. She had amassed an army of those with powerful quirks even at the dawn of them and laid waste to the United States. She had been fond of the first hero, you see, though he was never credited as such. And the American Government not only killed him, they covered up all he had done, to ensure he was forgotten and their mistake never came to light. She crippled the country which at the time boasted the strongest military force in the world." "But she was stopped. I mean, America's still a country."
All For One shook his head. "No. She stopped when anyone even tangentially involved in the decision and those who defended them were dead. No quirk affected her, and he quirk could not be stolen. She is an untouchable wildcard who will slaughter thousands to make her point. She has chosen Midoriya as hers. Do Not Touch Midoriya Again!"
#Ghost Writing#Hero's Spirit#BNHA#Danny Phantom#Izuku doesn't know who Sam in#Just that she's from the Realms#And she sees him as Danny's successor rather than Danny himself#Which is such a breath of fresh air#Incidentally the Sludge villain that killed Izuku triggering Danny's power to awaken in him?#Found dead in his cell with all manner of plant life growing out of his corpse

i finished watching buffy for the first time this week and it’s been a wild ride but something i feel genuinely surprised about is this idea that ppl have where spike falls into the dark, brooding, bad guy turned good trope. comparing him to the likes of draco, kylo ren, etc. it makes me rlly???? bc am i delusional? from season 2 onwards, spike always felt very funny to me; silly, goofy, light hearted. i mean he has a whole backstory about being a momma’s boy/terrible poet. effulgent!!! blooming onion lover?? a loser and malewife first for dru and later for buffy. even peak “evil” spike doesn’t want to go along w dru/angelus’ plan bc he likes this world too much!! n that’s long before he even has a soul! has moments where he can barely look buffy in the eye, gets tongue tied, “why haven’t you killed the slayer yet” good question adam!! maybe bc he loves the slayer!! get’s chained to a tub and let’s buffy feed him blood out of a ‘kiss the librarian’ mug. “great pumpkin’s on in 20” & can’t forget about passions!! asking joyce for the lil marshmallows for his hot cocoa while he tells her all about how dru broke his fragile little heart 😭 and and when he gets turned into a vampire so of course immediately his first thought is to travel the world w his lover + can’t forget about his mommy like !!! hello!!! are we watching the same show like he’s just a freaky little loser who luvs a girl bc duh who tf wouldn’t love buffy, she’s literally everything and he knows it too!
#im not trying to baby girl-ify him or w/e#or absolve him of all the bad he’s done#(which i think makes him an intriguing character - how he’s big and bad and dangerous and morally grey!!)#morally grey characters / nuanced characters are everything to me#im just saying he was so funny and a breath of fresh air sometimes#and so unserious#i never felt like he fit into a singular box/trope#btvs#spike#luci.txt

magnus chase and the gods of asgard is refreshing in a way where no one is actually chasing after magnus and magnus isnt actively chasing after anyone else. like yea he drops subtle hints that he has feelings for alex but he doesn't even recognize or understand these feelings until the last 100 pages of the last book and he's a real one for that tbh
#magnus chase supremacy#like everyone was after percy#and percy was after annabeth in the last couple pjo books#carter was after zia#and sadie after Walt and anubis (which is gross btw)#then yk everyone on the Argo liked eachother💀#Lester was still getting over his past lovers#and then he had that thing w reyna that she quickly shut down#but mcga was a breath of fresh air#it wasn't focused on his romantic feelings or past relationships#mostly bc he didn't even understand his own feelings cough#and I liked the way alex and magnus' relationship played out#not officially official#but official enough to kinda be considered canon#did you know that I love magnus chase??#mcga#magnus chase#magnus chase and the gods of asgard#riordanverse

The thing about da2 is that the companions don't actually all hate each other. My party just mainly happened to consist of
- Anders (hates himself and projects his issues on everyone else)
- Carver (little hater)
- Fenris (little hater)
- Merrill (really sweet, but a magnet for criticism from Anders and Fenris especially)
#love these goobers#basically the only nice banter i ever got was carver and merrill being awkward at each other lmao#(and tbf sometimes i would exchange. fenris for isabela or aveline which was always a breath of fresh air)#dragon age#dragon age 2#da2

i’m on my schools newspaper and we just heard word yesterday that someone wants to write an opinion piece for the “anniversary of october 7” (as in. the way it was phrased was not like in mourning of it. they wanted to commemorate it. at least that’s how the room took it as) and the whole room just went. “holy shit wtf” and “oh no…” and the chief editor was like “i will be keeping a CLOSE CLOSE eye on that” and while it sucks that there are people at my school who decided to take that date and celebrate it (which has become the norm in higher education atp, and my school was not spared that), at least i know everyone working at the newspaper is sane and does not want to print something that celebrates a massacre, which sounds absolutely crazy to say that i have to be thankful for that
#like they saw how un normal that behavior was#which is a breath of fresh air tbh#also just heard word from my section chief that i’m copy editing for that section#so let’s see how this goes#praying we misinterpreted the content of it#but prob not in this day and age#jumblr#antisemitism

Me, starting my playthrough of Jack Jeanne: Okay, I KNOW the Tokyo Ghoul mangaka worked on this, but this is still an otome game so like…how good will it actually be?
Me, after finishing one route: Sui Ishida, you madman, how did you do this???
#jack jeanne#i nominate yoko taro to help produce an otome game PLEASE AND THANK YOU#look i enjoy playing otome games and all but believe me everything else is usually but an afterthought for the romance#WHICH FAIR I AM PLAYING AN OTOME GAME NOT READING A TIMELESS CLASSIC OF A NOVEL#but it is such a breath of fresh air playing jack jeanne?#like the world and the characters interact in such a way that it FEELS intentional#and not just like chess pieces pushed around to progress a route#last (and only tbh) otome game to leave this much of an impact is cupid parasite#and that’s because it’s campy fun that every part of the game (including that special ui) leans into#i have also recognized i have had lukewarm enjoyment of every otome game i have played that takes itself WAY too seriously#which is something i am ashamed of 😭

You know, I feel like one important thing that’s barely ever mentioned about Sun Wukong is how while he very much is a murder monkey who intimidates people into giving him free stuff he also only rarely ever starts the fights he gets into. His battle prowess means that he’s pretty capable of escalating until his opponents either give up or end up dead, but he hardly goes out of his way to throw down. Like just to give a few examples:
His first murder of the Monstrous King of Havoc was committed because this guy was “brutally abusing” SWK’s family, including through kidnapping their children;
While he did indeed steal a lot of immortality-granting treats from heaven, he refused to go to war with heaven until the gods “had broken down the door [to the Mt. Huaguoshan cave], and are about to fight their way in.”
The two times when he encounters a band of robbers, he only kills them after they had repeatedly tried to kill him.
He kills the Six Eared Macaque because he had “dare[d] change into my appearance, take my descendants captive, [and] occupy my immortal cave.”
So the Monkey King is is many ways a selfish and impulsive monkey, but its good to remember that at least in the og classic he’s not going out of his way to start fights, even though he WILL do everything he can to end them in his favor.
#xiyouji#journey to the west#jttw#sun wukong#monkey king#this is one aspect of swk's character that I really like for a number of reasons#though I do think it also makes him a bit more scary than many another version#because him pausing before going ultraviolent#suggests he thought it through and was then fully committed to said bloodshed#but that is another thing that's actually pretty neat about Xiyouji SWK#in that he seems to accept everything he did no matter how violent without trying to excuse it or blame someone else#which tbh in this current media environment makes that over 500 year old version of SWK a breath of fresh air lmao

yeah it’s the point(tm) but it’s still soooo so sad that daisuke can’t even bring himself to rely on adults because that usually means talking about his problems, and he can’t talk about his problems because they all involve dark
#mobile.#the closer you want to be the farther you end up :/#double no comment on the adults like zenigata too which are directly involved With the Law#daisukeeeeee#can’t talk to his friends can’t talk to adults his family is safe but their love is a burden and full of expectations#for him too#he only lets out a breath he doesn’t know he was holding in when it’s really finally totally okay#for him to transform and for dark’s big scawy black wings to unfurl#like a breath of fresh air
