and then, suddenly, the eddsworld hyperfixation. again

[coollyinterferes]

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

Man there's really something about the way MCD very slowly sinks you into this bigger narrative and makes you forget it's "just" a minecraft world. Sure, as far as episode 24, we're still getting YouTube intros where she introduces herself as Jess, but we've also got Levin, and all of her struggles with potentially having to give him up. And there's the looming threat of the shadow knights, there's Sasha in the village, the subplot with dale and molly and logan and Donna, there's Zenix being missing. We've got Aphmau acting stressed, acting sad, acting worried about the NPCs in her village, regarding them more and more as people as they appear to BE people.

Side note, all the plot stuff with Lords being a reality-warping force, turning simple NPCs into evolved thinking + feeling characters and having those characters devolve when they're away, are we meant to see this as "the NPC's AI gets so advanced they become more involved characters in the video game but if you turn off the video game they cease to exist" or like "minecraft is a sort of portal for irl people to interact with this other dimension, which they see as the minecraft world, and they're warping the reality of another real place, and real people are forgetting their memories when the lords are disappearing" or what?

Players don't seem to be the only people who can be lords, given Bright Port's Lord Burt, who clearly has the same/similar effect on Brightport that Aphmau has on Phoenix Drop (his absence causes some guards to start forgetting things and acting weird, as well as some of the roads disappearing). Plus there's definitely some variance in the personalities and stories of the NPCs around her, Lord Burt says that Azura is a special guard that can't be corrupted by the king bc she's pure of heart and has a bond to him. I don't think we're meant to believe the NPCs are just NPCs, at least not by this point in the series.

I'm interested to see how this develops and I'm curious as to how I'll want to handle it in my potential rewrite, if I decide to divorce the plot from the game of minecraft entirely. Which I did intend to, to give the characters a bit more breathing room. I wanted to start out with all the characters being fully themselves so we can get good early interactions.

Though there is very much something to be said about Garroth being stuck in that NPC state and Aphmau being around slowly brings his memories and autonomy back. Especially since she never seems to hold it over him, just glad to get to know him as he becomes his own person again.

Could make it a curse that the King cast, to prevent the people of the kingdom from organizing against him on their own after he starts killing off lords to steal their land. Making the only real threats to him the remaining lords and not just any town full of peasants with a bone to pick. Much to consider.

I've ranted a whole lot about the importance of physical media in the past. I love physical media. I have a CD and vinyl collection of stuff from my favorite bands, and am currently getting back into reading and found I vastly prefer physical books over both ebooks and audiobooks. I got the entire DVD box of ATLA last year just so that I can watch it whenever I like.

But it took me until today to realize that the reason why is because of how badly all these digital streaming service-platforms have affected me.

Like, I found art from a webcomic a while ago that I thought looked really interesting, but have been putting off reading the thing for MONTHS. I couldn't quite put my finger on why until I found out yesterday that there are printed, physical copies for sale of the entire webcomic itself in book format. And despite absolutely insane shipping costs, I could at some point buy it, and keep it.

And now I finally started reading it, and I'm loving it.

Turns out, I would rather put myself through sickening, nauseating FOMO than risk the piece of media getting taken off the platform it's available on in the middle of me reading/watching it.

What the fuck.

Art Dump (Lore (?) Dump): Classroom Doodles.

Up to down

-Drawing salmon from memory

- Goopy guy is an old ship child I made in the Crossmare Amino, his name was 'Mistake' but I recently changed it when I got back into this. His name is now Nyeuwxanz (Pronounced either New-sans or Nuisance) but he more commonly goes by Dewdrop.

-Skele with an x across his face is a fusion/ ship child? of Cross and Dance. His name is Crisscross (Nickname: Applesauce).

- MSH (Mystery Show Host), UT OC for my Au, he's a shrabbit monster. The grinning cat mask to the left is his.

- Conceptualizing Papyrus for my AU (For now it will be named Made-for-War.) When I was into UT back in 2015-2016 I was pretty heavy on sans so never got to draw most of the other characters.

-Flowey/Asriel, he's just a little guy

-Young Asgore/Asgore, can't figure out how to draw him.

-More Asgore, he's my favorite UT character.

-MFW!Papyrus, Asriel and Sans for my AU.

-Asgore, still conceptualizing his design for my AU. (Touching the golden ring on his horn, I miss them.)

-Flowey/Asriel.

-MFW!Papyrus in my notes. Flowey on his shoulder.

-Flowey/Asriel torturing me in my notes.

-MSH with his ears down.

Nyeh.

-Conceptualizing Gaster for MFW AU. (To the far left might be his final design)

-MFW! sans and Papyrus (Their names outside their AU.)

Whenever I think of ppl I used to talk to when I was younger, it makes me sad thinking how so many have deactivated blogs. Like I wonder where they all are now. Are they happy. Have they been released from the iron grip of this hellsite, and if so can they help me do it as well.

Quick CW for mentions of SA. Just letting you folks know.

Just woke up to two asks in my inbox! I was pretty hyped until I realized they where both vile. Both of them wishing I would die, and the other going into detail about how badly they want me to die in a slow and painful way, and even going so far as hoping someone SA's my corpse.

Idk who shat in thier fruit loops this morning, but I do have 3 things for them.

1. If you're gunna waste your time throwing vile my way, at least get creative! You pain my artistic soul with such bland and unoriginal spewings. You think this is the first time I've been told to go die or that they hope I die? Oh please. Get in line bitch.

2. You had to make the active decision to select anonymous when sending that to me. That tells me how much of a coward you are. Yet here I am, proud to be who I am, flaws and all. While you can't even put a face to your words.

3. I've blocked you now, and that's because I simply have no time to waste dealing with any further interations with such maidenless behavior. So I will continue with my philosophy of "Sometimes the best revenge is a life well lived."

In conclusion, no. I will not die. At least not yet. I'll continue to live my life, touch grass, fuck my man, pet my cat, get that bag, and most importantly....live a much better life then someone who's only reason for existing is to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

Get fucked, and maybe some therapy. Bye!
