the temptation to make a mianite s1 au where Tom, instead of getting tank of judgement-ed to stop him from killing everything on sight, gets turned into a cat and treated as the island stray while "Tom hasn't been around in a while. As nice as it is to not get disemboweled constantly I'm kinda worried??"

Except Tom is LOVING being the island stray and when the gods try to get him to go back he throws a fit like "sorry this is MY cat time >:0"

did dianite just threaten to kill ianite to get Jordan on his side, Is that what I just watched. what

i love drawing the same woman over and over again its my favorite pass time activity

I've been into mcyt since forever but I genuinely don't know anything about Captainsparklez. It kinda feels like going to church everyday while not knowing who Jesus is

fun fact! if you change Minecraft’s language to Pirate Speak (The Seven Seas) “Elytra” becomes “Icarus’s Wings” and i am completely normal about that fact

so uh. Godslayer huh?

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

Captain Capsize x Male!Reader Headcanons

She leaves you for her Goddess

andor conway would do numbers on tumblr.com

unfortunately for literally everyone mianite is going to be a series that i'm adding to the list of "media that has changed me immensely in subtle and very overt ways alike". like im not really sure how anyone could walk out of "guy creates his own goddess out of sheer desperation and then proceeds to cling to her like a fucking lifeline" unchanged but i know that i sure didn't! Wouldnt reccomend watching it in its entirety unless ur mentally unstable like i am however. its not worth it.

mianite is so bad i wouldn’t wish it upon anyone it did irrevocable damage to my psyche i hold the characters so dear i met good friends through it it helped me through tough times it was the tough times i

Kinda weird question-

What is mianite? I know it's a mcyt smp (I assume) but what happens in it- your posts about it fascinate and confuse me

mianite was a minecraft smp that started in may of 2014! it had three seasons (the third was kind of a prequel and also apparently sucks) with the first being in 2014-2015, the second being in 2015-2016, and the third starting in 2020 and ending. idk when it ended actually i havent watched it yet.

the four main players on it were jordan captainsparklez, tom syndicate, tucker iijeriichoii, and sonja omgitsfirefoxx. waglington, a member of the minecraft building team fyreuk, took on more of a player character role in s2.

the series' entire premise is that there's a god of order (Mianite) and a god of chaos (Dianite) who were brothers. what really makes things interesting is that captainsparklez walked in, saw this, went "nice dichtonomy idiot, now what lies outside of it?" and invented his own fucking goddess (Ianite, goddess of balance) half out of sheer spite.

the mianite series overall is very much a product of the time period it was made in. its half baked in a few places and clearly made clumsily but with love. theres pirates. theres one of the most trans coded characters ive ever seen in a mcrp ever. jordan's pov of s1 and s2 combined is 200 episodes long and easily around 350-400 hours of watch time. I've watched all of it. Its barely worth it. My thoughts on it can be summed up by this screenshot:

its changed my life. dont watch the whole thing unless you really want to for some reason. good luck

btw since everyone ive talked to ever whos seen isles says that the second half of the series sucks. uh. what episode do i stop at? at what point is it just Not Worth It Anymore

mianite is fuckin crazy dude ive never seen a series be one of the most things ever and so thoroughly Mid at the same time. they made captainsparklez say bitch

Random worldbuilding: A culture where everyone's social status is expressed through how their hair is braided.

Children all have the same kind of a simple, unisex "child's braid" which is meant for their parents to be easy to do - traditionally boys were only taught how to do a "wife's braid" while women braid both their husbands and their children, but a modern man is naturally an attentive father and contributes to both cleaning and feeding, and clothing and braiding his children.

While this kind of knowledge is more accessible in the modern age, the art of braiding is still seen as an intimate family thing, and it's not unusual for a youth to come out to their parents by the way of braids - for example a daughter asking her father to teach her how to do the "wife's braid", or a son asking her mother how to weave the "husband braid" for their future spouse. Or a trans kid asking their parents to give them the other gender's braid when it's time to transition from the child braid into the "unmarried youth" one.

It is nonetheless still somewhat common to see an older gay man with a "wife's braid" or two older women both wearing "husband braids", because that was the only way they were taught to braid a future partner's hair when they were young. They could learn the "appropriate" braid now, but it has become a part of the culture, an old-fashioned gay thing to do. It's pride - if you wear this braid to show that you're an adult with a spouse, why try to hide who braids your hair every morning?

The only braid that one is expected to do on themselves is the widow's braid - the only one that is also unisex, braided in reverse from the simple children's braid. Sometimes, young unmarried adults who have no interest in starting a family switch directly into wearing a widow's braid to signify that they are not looking for a partner and are independent adults on their own.
