alright, so!! i often tell my roommate about all the SMPs i’m interested in, which mostly includes Hermitcraft, Empires, DSMP, and the Life Series. and i tend to tell her about all the new stuff going on. occasionally, we’ll watch videos of Hermitcraft and Life Series together. sometimes we’ll watch some solo content from Mumbo or Etho.

i’ve made it pretty clear that she doesn’t need to remember the names or even really watch it, but she does actually enjoy it a lot. however, it’s a lot of content to keep up with and remember, which i totally agree!! while i love these SMPs so much, but i bet it’s gotta be hella overwhelming to newcomers sometimes.

anyway!! so. i just found out that she has apparently combined all these SMPs in her mind and i want to share her perspective with you bc it’s now my favorite thing ever, so here we go:

The MCU (Minecraft Universe) according to my roommate:

all the Minecraft SMPs combined should be referred as the MCU (Minecraft Universe) — this is literally what she calls them and i love that. according to her, there’s so many characters that crossover into other SMPs, it just makes sense to make it into a combined universe. it’s the best thing ever.

there are only 11 total Minecraft Men. that’s it. — this number actually went up bc originally she decided there were only 5??? she counted them out for me tho, and there are, in fact, 11 Minecraft Men.

there is also only one (1) Minecraft woman. she is also the only Minecraft wife — i think she’s talking about LDShadowlady bc i talk a lot about Joel?? but i’m not sure if she’s combined Lizzie and Kristin into one person. either way, she is the only Minecraft wife/woman to exist bc my roommate doesn’t know there’s more. (bruh, when i show her there’s more than one Minecraft woman, it’s gonna blow her mind ahdjskf)

the Minecraft Men are described only as “the husbandos, the guy with the demon boyfriend, the demon, and the child of one of the husbandos”

it’s pretty unclear who the child is, but i THINK she means Sapnap bc i kept telling her how excited i was that Sapnap’s favorite headcanon for his character is that C!Skephalo are his parents agajfkdkgkg

no, this doesn’t mean that Skeppy and BBH are part of the husbandos. i quickly realized this bc she doesn’t remember who the child is. he’s simply just known as “the child” and he has canonically gay parents apparently agdjakfk

when i asked her to describe the rest of the Minecraft Men, she gave me the following list (not in any particular order):

Technoblade (also known as “Piggie Potato War Man!!”)

Kakashi

the Flower Husbands<3

the “husbands that started a monopoly together”

that “one guy who confessed his love to a demon”

the Demon

the Child of the Husbandos

Redstone Man:)

Joel

after that, she decided to share some specific moments that she remembers, but doesn’t know which SMP they happened in, so they’ve just happened in all of them—

the wedding where the one guy tried to say that the demon was his boyfriend, but the demon immediately went offline and the guy was like “oh.” — this was the exact moment i realized she was talking about JOEY. SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT C!JOEY GRACEFFA GETTING REJECTED BY XORNOTH AT LIZZIE AND JOEL’S WEDDING AHSJSKFSHDJF

“there was once a cow heist bc someone stole all the cows” — apparently Jimmy and Scott’s Cow Heist during 3rd Life??? man, i loved that moment, but i was so surprised that’s the moment she remembered out of everything in 3rd Life (/pos!)

“there was a ranch that burned down that one time” — once again, i was not prepared for this shdjdkg. pretty sure that she’s talking about Double Life bc we watched a lot of Joel and Etho’s POVs of that one together

“and i remember there was a panda sanctuary that got burnt down!!” — she was so excited to remember this one?? shsjffks it was adorable. another one from Double Life

anyway, i’m planning on showing her all the character skins and letting her go wild with guessing names and such. she’s literally so excited to learn more and start figuring out who’s who.

for the record, she’s only watched a few episodes of the Life Series and Hermitcraft (plus a few Empires’ clips), but she’s only heard me talk about the DSMP and never seen any of those characters or even just most of the people of Hermitcraft, so this will be hella fun:)

#btw!! she is aware that the cc’s are NOT the characters and we’re not shipping IRL people #just making that known.#this is a mix of lots of mcyts shajfkfk #i’m so excited to show her all these things and she’s also so excited #roommate /pos!!#i adore her<333 #i don’t even know what to tag this???#dsmpblr #mcytblr #trafficshipping #hermitshipping #empires shipping #just to cover all my bases even tho the shipping isn’t the point #what have i doneabdjdlflg #3rd life spoilers #double life spoilers

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:

If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return

If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return

My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations

My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later

That's it!

#the fucking obsession with fandom becoming ~content creation~ has got to stop. this is not a business.#i don't like it when someone acts like i owe them because they complimented my work #and i will never do that to someone else #kindness has to be freely given or it isn't kindness; it's manipulation #this just. makes me feel super gross and it upsets me that it's happened twice #and that both people explicitly stated in their profiles that this is an expectation they have of fandom #you can't form a community by force. that's not how it works.#anyways. rant over. i just want it to be known that i'm not expecting anything from anyone lol #if i talk to you or hang out it's because i want to. i don't want anything from you except you know #kindness and companionship or w/e #bleargh. gonna go play a game or something.#dixeram

Honestly I think a lot of people who have never made a gif for tumblr don't get that it does actually take time and effort, its not just rip it from a video and post it- you have to download the video, in my case I have a video player installed that grabs continuous caps, figure out what parts you need, you have to open those in photoshop or gimp, depending on where you got photoshop you might be paying for it every month and then on top of that is actually sizing, cropping, colouring, sharpening, adding text, etc. etc. like it is something that takes time and effort for which the only real reward is creating something that makes you happy and hopefully people reblog it with a nice or funny tag, so maybe keep that in mind the next time you think gif makers are being mean or unfair for being upset about reposts. It is its own little artform that is fairly unique to this website, and that's a big aspect of why I have always loved tumblr, if all the gifmakers stopped posting things would be a lot more boring around here.

#like its well known reposting art or fic is rude so idk why gifs are free game #and why people are always so ~its just a gif~ okay well if its *just* a gif then you go and make one to that quality #oh wait you cant bc it actually does take time and practice #ive been at this for years and i still dont know all the tips and tricks #also the reason i mention all the software needed is bc like. you have to find install learn and it takes up space on the drive #so just reblog stuff and appreciate people that make fun content

does this annoy anyone else or is it just me

#i've seen it happen multiple times to small artists in this fandom #it's not even a comparison to an artist as a compliment #it's erasure of og artist intent and equating something they put their heart into as just an iteration of a more well-known artist's idea #they never address the art too they go directly to tagging the more popular artists and make it all about the popular artist #it's insulting. it's defining someone's creativity purely by an unrelated person's work. often unsolicited.#like cmon #also i'm pretty sure most popular artists Do Not Like this comparison at all so please just stop

To whomever it may concern: Karlach without make up (and with scars). Bless the modders.

#bg3 #listen I can easily see Shadowheart spending an hour every morning to do her make up and Lae'zel's is arguably warpaint #but with Karlach? a soldier in survival mode who also can't sit still for five minutes?#yeah nah #also abscence of eyeshadow kinda makes her asian features even more obvious #let it be known I restricted myself to ten screenshots but actually I have a whole folder by now.#also I can't quite figure out if she still has eyeliner on or if her lashes are just that nice abdbtbtbtb #EDIT: MODS ARE NAMED IN THE REPLIES SECTION

So much of Garak as a person starts to make sense once you know his childhood was a fucking gothic novel. His main playground was a graveyard and he'd play pretend by perfoming improv eulogies to an imagined audience. For a long time his main touchstone for most important figures from recent history is 'oh yeah I know about that guy my dad buried him. great flower arrangements for that one'. He finds out later his 'parents' are actually a brother and sister who had to get married to avoid the utter shame and social devastation of having a child born out of wedlock, and they live in the basement of his biological father's house. (the madwoman in the attic vs. the tiny elim in the basement.) His biological father calls himself his uncle and locks him in a closet whenever he fails to live up to his insane and unpredictable expectations and everyone just has to act like that's normal and expected, and his will hangs over everything at all times, unseen but always felt keener than anything else. The father who actually raised him grows the world's most beautiful (and as it turns out, most poisonous) orchids and keeps the mask of a god hidden in a box in his work shed. Everyone in the house is choking down secrets like it's the only air they know how to breathe anymore.

What I'm saying is that right from the get-go this guy never had the faintest shot at turning out normal, so I'm glad that by middle age he's found a way to get a bit silly with it as he continues to be deeply deeply not normal about anything ever <3

#guess who's reading a stitch in time!#star trek ds9 #elim garak #a stitch in time #star trek #ds9 #I will make a monster post of asit thoughts eventually but just. jesus christ!!! what a start in life lmao #tolan and tain seem to have been... well not exactly friends probably but to have had some connection beforehand #did tain know him or mila first??? how was mila and tolan's sibling status presumably not known publicly?#at what point during all of that did tain start to have sex with tolan's sister. the more you think about it the more fucked it gets lol #under the circumstances... shoutout to tolan and mila for not leaving him somehow even more fucked up interpersonally than he is #and no thanks to tain for anything ever I hate him so much

you know me, in the way that matters most.

#trigun #trigun anime #trigun fanart #vash #vash the stampede #wolfwood #nicholas d. wolfwood #vashwood #I JUST!!! i love the way 98 goes about invoking its overarching Themes And Questions #how the story began with ''who is vash the stampede?'' when it was a very literal #there are 60.000.000.000 outlaws w big guns on this planet and any one of them could be him #which slowly became ''but who IS he. behind the legend. behind the personas. Who Is He really?''#and then wolfwood asks. and ''i've only known you as the stampede''#but that's not true. it's not the only way he's known him. it was always more than that.#anyways do u guys ever make something that's So Important to u u are RELUCTANT TO SHARE IT LMAO #i've been holding this one very very tightly for MONTHS dhfkjghdfk

Inspired by these comics by @zivazivc and this comic by @chongotheartist

This has been chilling in my mind since I first saw ZivaZivcs comic and I finally got the energy to make it XD

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls band together #john dory #creek trolls #the orange troll is actually a deleted troll from the og movie known as Aspen Heitz #he has green hair in 3d and blue in 2d so i mixed the colors to get the hair i used here #any way #also i used chongos comic as like a reference for the posing and stuff #and like this is what it looks like in the comic but when put into trolls #it lind of looks like Aspen is like comforting his boyfriend creek #and i did not intend for that i just noticed it while coloring and i was like welp #and did not fix it #maybe im just overthinking it #it may just be the closeness due to troll proportions #also the holding hands on the shoulder #but it was in the og so its here too #also i love the scary jd render #whyd they make him so scary ill never know but man does it make for good comedy #i was orginally gonna draw jd too but then when i sketched him he just looked like the render and i was like you know what-#i also thought of using a fake png but that qas too much #so you get real png jd

The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper's Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.

The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think "oh no. Something Bad is happening to us." We're never trending cause it's fucking good. I never get to be excited, it's just cold dread.

The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don't want to help us. We're just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.

The fact that everyone's uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they'd rather forget.

The fact that it'd be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.

#im so fucking pissed right now #jew tag #judaism #jumblr #when will we be able to catch a fucking break man #i keep thinking about dara horn man #she said it best #a hundred times #Sarah's bullshit #I'll probably delete this later i just AUGH #g-d im angry i just wanted to rant #me and every jewish person ever who went to hebrew school or shul or anything #we have armed security guards as some flimsy protection so we dont get hate crimed #so no one comes in and shoots our kids #by the way. its not normal. its been all ive ever known though #g-d forbid one of those bomb threats is real will gentiles slap on a fake nose and make a movie about it twenty years later
