THANK YOU! I knew I struck gold with this but I have yet to see any acknowledgement! Probably because I posted this after the Rentheking arc and that's not really something people actively search up anymore.

My brother introduced me to the song (he loves Ren (the musician lol, he thinks Rendog is cringe)so much, he plays the most distressing songs while chilling in Roblox and shows those same songs to his favourite people including our parents. Luckily Dad appreciated the writing, while Mom was disturbed lol. He's ADHD with social issues so i am happy hes sharing hyperfixations with us at all)... at first I thought the song was legit ABOUT Rendog, then when my brother explained that the dudes were unrelated I added the song to a few other character playlists... before I realized "hang on."

So now I have this idea! I don't trust myself to animate it, that's why I offered it for anyone here who'd be invested and imaginative enough to adopt.

Rentheking / Red King interactions in fics are one of my favourite things to read in Life Series (dw the list is large).

Last thing is... if anyone does it or even attempts it, share the link? I'll appreciate anything honestly, doesn't have to be an animatic!

"Hi Ren" animatic with Rentheking and the Red King

Okay this poll is LONG overdue but I felt the need to reply because THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGE LANI, I barely remember that girl or what she looks like but I remember her contributing to my lesbian phase a bit! Also that movie's low-key underrated. Nothing special plot-wise but really funny at times!

Only other one here I agree with is Flick. He helped me discover my bisexuality. The only fictional guy crush I had until... 2018! Holy shit! No wonder I thought I was a lesbian, right? Don't worry, Flick wasn't a fluke. As I got older I started to swerve towards more male characters.

This is probably TMI! :D so I'll be tagging appropriately.

why hello there, Robert Hastie Lanyon of the Sage Cotugno variety. I didn't miss that pfp!

Historical context is so funny sometimes like

The Strange Case never specified wtf Hyde did on a friday night so it was up to the reader’s interpretation and that was SUCH a good idea not only because imagination can be one of the scariest things, but also because like a century later people have very different takes

Victorians read the twist and they have to wrestle with the idea that a rich white man that they respect and think could do no wrong did some unholy shit and became a gothic horror on purpose just for the sake of doing more unholy shit without getting caught

Millennials read the book and they’re like “lol Jekyll was probably just gay” and “bro imagine being so repressed by society that you create a fucking transformation potion just so you can fuck a dude”

Sometimes I wonder what Stevenson would think of this interpretation. I think it’d be hilarious to watch either way.

just saw another fic that completely misunderstood elementary schoolers. going to make a post as soon as my shift is done

#Oh my GOD you're so right #When I was 9 I DISTINCTLY remember feeling like I was mature #And of course people talked down to me #“Child characters” are actually insulting to me #Especially the assumption of trusting naivete #Like bro they're not DOGS #You probably weren't a dog if you can't remember that #But also #I'm not around kids often #So this chart is actually really really helpful #Add on the fact that 2nd graders are singing Hazbin Hotel songs and you've got it #Honestly sad sometimes but this is real

On fWhip's new SMP

fWhip, years after ending the Empires series and New Life drizzled out, has decided to create what appears to be the first season of a new series: SOS smp.

Not an acronym (well, i mean, technically) for a longer name, that's the official title and not the fandom tag.

Other fans have addressed the "no lore" thing already, even though the series is only a day old. Check the tag if you want clarity. Or just, you know, watch the videos.

What I want to discuss is the "twist" that sets it apart from other related SMP concepts.

In SOS, every time you die, you leave behind a gravestone. But, the gravestone will also disappear if a set time runs out. This doesn't just take your stuff away, like one might expect. When you die, you enter spectator mode. And if the time runs out and no one ELSE comes to save you, you are banned from the server.

But that's not all! In order to save someone's life, one must ALSO insert a special currency. Each person starts the server with one coin, but you can get more from doing things. This means that a person could not save you, even if they dug into the deep dark or traveled to the end island, if they did not have a coin with them. Horrifying concept, right?

Now that the basic game mechanics are layed out, let's discuss how this relates to other popular SMPs.

This series could not be another edition of the X Life series, for one thing because of there being no world-gen mods, let alone the numerous amounts of other potential gamechangers Afterlife and New Life came with. Excepting everything related to the gravestones, this is a normal minecraft world.

This also clearly can't be the third empires season, for obvious reasons as well as personal context. And as far as I know, no other SMPs fWhip has played in have been this simple.

In fact, this series most closely resembles the Life Series with its simplicity, modded items, and death mechanics. It most obviously resembles the two newest seasons, with the time limit and an implied otherworldly force that could easily be headcanoned as evil.

Now, what REALLY makes me think is how SOS at its core, is set up to foster relationships. A player is 100% dependant on being rescued, but there are no rules that say a person can't NOT rescue someone else, and no penalizing for it. The worst thing a person could do is completely isolate themselves in a far off corner of the map, or worse, antagonize people without making any friends to balance it out. If nobody LIKES or cares about you, or if everyone agrees the server would be better off WITHOUT you, you will be dead forever. Everyone is encouraged to play nice, buy more importantly, develop a deep bond with at least one other person. But even then, there's a chance that person might not even be ABLE to save you. And THAT results in guilt, hatred, and hurt.

Everen, the person who made the iconic Who Are You Really, Everybody Wants To Rule the World, Running Up That Hill, and Battle Cry animatics, once said on stream that Secret Life has been her least favourite season so far, because she felt that none of the alliances really cared about each other. Now, I highly disagree with that take, but I was thinking about it. She said that the creators seemed more focused on making each new episode a Crazy Action-Packed Banger, that they forgot that what most fans really cared about were the quiet moments that make you root for a couple to survive. That, much like Last Life, the twist that season ended up driving people apart and breaking trust, even though the shenigans were funny to watch in comparison to largely angst-inducing. And, unlike Last Life, the winner that season was not the one person who defied the rules more than anyone else; the winner was someone who had played the game, had no allies, and was forced to hurt people and not explain himself. And considering the observation that each season's new rules seems to be based off of the previous winner's Life, I only fear that the next season will be even worse in those regards.

Then, you have fWhip, who'd never been a member of the Life Series (kinda hoped he would, but thats just me), and his new server seems like... like it's rules were made in opposition of that trend.

SOS will, there is no doubt, have at least one tragedy like I had formerly mentioned. Someone will eventually permadie because they had no allies, or were general jerks. In order for the server to end, everyone has to stop saving each other, until there is no one left to save the "winner". There WILL be angst. And there will be relationship drama to make it all hurt more. Even if there is no "lore", no characters or backstories or connections to prior series, there will be fanfics made, fanart drawn, analysis thought of, poetry written, and even songs produced. People will care about this server, even if the community is small and Hermitcraft's stories are booming.

And I am so glad that this series has been made, at this time when Hermitcraft and Life Series seem to hold a monopoly on this fandom.

Look it's alright to have an opinion and such but to blatantly tell others that people, who grew up liking certain things that you don't, need help is wrong. It's not hurting anyone but you and you're blowing this way out of proportion. I wish you the best based on your situation but quit lashing out like an ass

I didn't think I was lashing out with that comment, at least. I thought, wrongly, that liking gore and violence, especially at a young age, was a sign of trauma. I'm sorry if my comment was read as malicious, it was meant to be the opposite. But my ignorance hurt people, so I will be educating myself, and I have already moved my initial post out of the main tag. I have acknowledged that my hurt is my problem and no one else should stop enjoying and making content for what they like because I have a problem with it. That's controlling. Good day and I hope you escape anything you might be dealing with in the near future.

........ I did not know that enjoying gore content did NOT have anything to do with psychological issues or trauma. Really? It's just... liking something? Nothing more?

That changes everything, wow. I'm sorry about saying that as well now.

Im glad we worked things out, you can block me if you want.

to all the people making fanart about My Little Pony infection AUs:

That was my childhood! MY. CHILDHOOD! My largest source of happiness because I sure as hell wasn't getting that from my family or anybody I interacted with after leaving the house. I lived vicariously through the Main Six because I apparently didn't understand how friendship worked since people either avoided me and gave me looks or pretended to be my friend just to gaslight me afterward (like i wasnt getting enough of that at home). The few friends I did manage to get never lasted long, and I'd spend hours wallowing in jealousy because my siblings managed to manifest massive friend groups despite being absolutely awful.

I happened upon Cupcakes by accident like so many other children and I could never look at my favourite show the same way again. Even when I was enjoying it there would always be those terrifying images at the back of my mind. Not even the most innocent media in my childhood were safe from adults who "liked" children.

You ruined it! You ruined the one good thing I had! And now you have the gall to be like

"Hey, remember when we destroyed the innocence of thousands of children and drew and wrote so much heinous art that we became an entire subset of the fandom? That was fun! Lets do that again, for old time's sake."

FUCK YOU. How come you get to enjoy your nostalgia at the expense of the people you already actively prevented from experiencing? How come you get to ruin the corpse of the characters you ruined during their life?

I don't fucking care if you're neurodivergent! I am too and you actively took away the only source of joy I had when I was surrounded by ableism on all sides. If you can't tell, this is an extremely personal subject to me!

The MLP revival shouldn't be more creepypasta shit. And don't you DARE call me a white Karen mom about this. Because of you, MLP is known for horror and characters brutally murdering each other, and don't get me wrong! I love that shit! I'm in the life series fandom for God's sake! I was a Magnus Archives fan! But this is different! This is an innocent piece of media I was LIVING on.

Can you all just fucking stay out of it? I would rather a timeline where only a few people made MLP fanworks in 2024 and were made fun of than you all doing this with its legacy. Abusers shouldn't be able to kick the actual mourners out of a funeral and assault whoever, dead or alive, is left.

Ive never understood the reason why people make DNI lists but I think I'm getting it now! Istg, if you come at me with more MLP horror, I am blocking you, and if you make fun of that statement I'm sorry but I would deck you in the face if you did that IRL because how dare you laugh at a person this angry? I get enough of that on the regular already and I don't need people I could've been friends with online adding themselves to the list.

Now how about you all squash your indeserved and harmful nostalgia and LEAVE so that us traumatized kids can enjoy what little content we still make?

I do in fact know about angst content, because I have basic knowledge of the platform I'm on, believe it or not.

"Abuser" was a harsh term, I know that and I knew that. A more accurate term would've been "someone who hurt the deceased in their past and shouldn't have been invited." I used a severe and callous analogy, but I don't know how comparison is equally bad as actually committing a crime.

The MLP gore that I witnessed is and has always been "untagged". How am I supposed to avoid seeing YouTube thumbnails? Because that, and mistakenly clicking on the more innocent-appearing ones when I was younger, were the only ways that I was exposed.

Im sorry but if the majority of Infection AU fans are my age and enjoyed gore growing up... I genuinely think something is wrong with them and they should talk about that with a mental health professional. I've never understood what draws kids to horror movies, so I have no idea what's going on here.

Of course I'm not comparing people who grew up on MLP gore to abusers... I'm comparing people who were adults at the time and created half of the most iconic animations in the fandom to people who don't belong at a funeral for the show.

I have a really hard time judging bad character in people, so I genuinely can't tell when someone is being entitled like you can. If it's because I demanded people stop making art, I have friends who explained to me how wrong I was and are teaching me to learn not to expect people to cater to my whims when it comes to self-expression, even when it reminds me of my trauma. Whether I like it or not, people are going to trigger me, and I can't get mad at them because that makes me a control freak. And I get it! My mom likes my hair a certain way and I refuse to adhere to her preferences.

On a side note, I removed the post from the main tag. Why did you go search for it?

I was already upset that day and seeing that content for the first time spurred me into a rage, and I posted it because I thought someone might agree with me. Obviously all I've done is hurt people, so if enough people tell me that this entire post reeks of entitlement I will delete it completely. Keep in mind though that everytime someone infantilizes me I have more incentive to keep it up out of spite. You can tell me I'm being disgusting and entitled without calling me a brat or saying I need a bedtime.
