FAQ:

What is MCYTBLR AU Fest? MCYTBLR AU Fest is a reverse minibang-type event where writers and artists come together to create fanworks centred on MCYT and set in an alternate universe from canon.

How does it work? Artists will have a month to complete an art piece. After a month, once the art is complete, they will submit the art, with information about server, characters, relationships, and any warnings they are opting into, which will be posted anonymously for writers to view and claim, first-come-first-serve. Teams are assigned by mods, and then writers will have two months of creation time to make a pice inspired by the work (minimum 5k words).

What type of MCYT is included? We welcome creations based on any SMP, whether or not they have a canon tag on Ao3. Mianite, DSMP, QSMP, Hermitcraft, 3rd Life, Lifesteal, Witchcraft SMP— it’s all welcome.

Can I join if my Art is a Game/Web Weave? We welcome all types of art— web weave, game, traditional art, original songs, videos, etc. While the list is not exhaustive, we have outlined some of the baseline expectations for an art piece below.

What are the requirements for art? It is difficult to define precise expectations for art pieces, especially given the broad realm of things that could count as art. We are primarily looking for art that is complete to a level that you would normally post as "finished", ready to inspire a fic piece of 5k or more, containing an audio or visual component beyond the confines of the written word, that does not take more than an hour to consume. While you will have the opportunity to include your understanding of the world in things such as if the relationships depicted are romantic or not, the art piece must stand alone without explanatory text or extra worldbuilding.

The defined requirements for different forms of art are:

Digital or Traditional art: one piece, completed to whatever you would normally post as "finished", ready to inspire a fanfic.

Web Weaves: a web weave of at least ten elements, original or properly credited.

Video/animatic: a video at least 30 seconds long.

Other Art Form: other art forms such as fan games or original songs would fall under this category. If you wanted to sign up with an Other art form, you need to contact the mod team and work out what minimum expectations would be for your art.

Is shipping allowed? Yes. Because there is no broad fandom-wide consensus about how Creator boundaries are to be enforced in specific cases (whether it's okay to write beeduo as /r or /p is an obvious one, or whether it’s permitted to ship Joel Smallishbeans) or between specific fandoms (Lifesteal approach to shipping and boundaries is different from HBG is different from DSMP), the mods will not be policing any specific understanding of boundaries across the event. The event's motivating ethos is Don't Like Don't Read, in that artists will be able to specify for themselves if a given relationship is to be interpreted as romantic or platonic, and writers will choose to opt into that, and NSFW will have to be specifically opted into on both sides.

Is NSFW allowed? Yes. NSFW works are allowed, but must be opted into, both in terms of viewing art and in terms of creating fic. No one under 18 is permitted to opt into NSFW and attempts to do so will be grounds for a ban from this event and anywhere else the mod team touches. For the comfort of the greatest number of participants, and to conform with Tumblr TOS, anything with the tags Underage or Incest will not be permitted to be part of the event.

Are major archive warnings (noncon/graphic depictions of violence/MCD) allowed? Aside from the content rules governing NSFW (no underage or incest, for the comfort of the greatest number of participants), major archive warnings are allowed. Depictions of real life horrors such as genocide and slavery are not-uncommon motifs in MCYT fics, and the mod team is not interested in legislating which types of horrors, griefs or abuses are inherently worse than others and are therefore off-limits. Because holding writing to a quality standard or saying only survivors can write atrocities is unworkable from a moderation standpoint, the three mentioned major archive warnings (MCD, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Noncon), are permitted to be included.

However, Major Archive Warnings must be explicitly opted into by the artist, and writers are free to not include Major Archive Warnings that their artist has permitted. Delivering un-asked for major archive warnings is grounds for a ban from this event. The mod team reserves the right to warn other mod teams on both the MCYT and Multi-fandom side about your bad behaviour.

What kind of an information will I provide as an Artist? How long or detailed? Artists will be able to specify

the server their art takes place on

the characters in the work

whether the relationships in the work are romantic, platonic, or could be interpreted either way

if they are okay with NSFW work

what age group of people they are okay working with

the type of AU it is

any content warnings present in the work already (i.e. gore, eyestrain, child death)

if the work is nsfw

any major archive warnings they are okay with happening in the story

common fandom themes and/or triggering content that they are okay with happening in the story.

A DNW

What sort of fandom themes will I specify? While this will not be an exhaustive list of every possible triggering concept, the mods want artists to be able to specify if they are okay with dynamics that circulate in the fandom that may be triggering or people simply may have strong opinions on, and for writers to be able to sort by that. Some of the themes include domestic abuse, alcoholism, family dynamics, pregnancy, dubcon, torture, body horror, dehumanization, child death, non-consensual touching, drugging, etc.

What is a DNW?

Artists will have the opportunity to fill out a DNW, which stands for Do Not Want. This is anything that has the potential to ruin a fic for you, and is where you opt out of content that would trigger, squick, or just render the gift unreadable for you. DNWs must be phrased politely, (so no "No foster aus because they suck and you suck if you like them"), and they must be reasonable, (so no "no blood/injury" if the art depicted shows injury, and no attempting to box someone into a specific gift beyond what is depicted in the art, so no "dnw anything that isn't a modern au where scar is a theatre teacher and grian is a biology teacher and they live in a city named hermitopia and grian has a situationship with mumbo and scarian has a rivalry at a coffee shop for the half-price muffins and jellie has psychic powers she's manipulating the muffin market with" if that is not clear from the art), and they must be specific and clear, (so no “no triggering content"), but they can be as petty (disliking 1st person) or as broad-reaching (no modern aus, no specific ships not depicted, no crossovers with specific servers or fics) as you like. Deliberately breaking someone's DNW is grounds for a ban from the exchange.

Is Dark/Violent content allowed? As long as it is something that the artist has not opted out of, yes. For many of us, the source material that originally drew us to the fandom includes major character death, torture, murder-for-hire, death games, public executions and more. The fanfiction that arose from the source material follows in that trend. We will allow dark content to be part of the event, but it must be tagged for.

We also ask that participants use best judgement in delivering commonly triggering topics un-asked for. We reserve the right to ban people at mod's discretion for delivering unrequested triggering content, under the "do not be an asshole" rule.

Moreover, if your fic is rated E for any reason, (including violence or gore) your entire team must be 18+

How can I get involved? You can participate in this event as a:

Author

Artist

Pinch Hitter

Beta Reader

You can even sign up for multiple roles, as long as you’re very sure you can make your deadlines!

When do I have to join the discord? You have the option to join the dicord and hang out as soon as creation starts on May 4, and if you are an artist, you must join before sign-ups close on May 31. If you are a writer, you must join the discord before claims begin on June 1st. If you are a Beta Reader, we'd ask that you join before claims begin on June 9th.

How does team assignment/claims work? We will release a document with all the art pieces linked in it, and 24 hours afterwards we will release a sign-up form. Writers will be expected to list out out a top-five of artists they want to work with, and mods will match writers with art on a first-come-first-served basis.

How does Beta Reader assignment work? Shortly after writer sign-ups end, writers who wish to sign up for Beta Readers will be able to do so. In a similar way to how writers claimed art, beta readers will be given a list of summaries and then, 24 hours later, will be able to submit a short list of fics they want to help work on. Beta readers will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

What happens if there are more artists than authors, or more authors than artists? If there are more writers, some artists will be assigned multiple writers. If there are more artists, we will put in place a question where writers can specify that they’d be willing to make multiple pieces, and a (hopefully small) number of writers would be assigned multiple teams.

What if all the artists I list have already been assigned? If every artist you wish to opt into has already been assigned, mods will contact you and ask if you wish to be matched to people who have not yet been claimed. You will then be able to choose if you wish to claim other teams, or wait and hope that there will be more writers than artists, and multiple writers on a team will be opened up. If that happens, you can re-submit your list and be assigned as a writer to one of your original artists.

I’m in [insert time zone here]. What if I’m not awake when claims open? There will be a spot to input your time zone in the discord. Mods will try to open the claims at a time that works for as many writers as possible. The art pieces will also be available for 24 hours before claims so that everyone can view them and pick out the ones that are the most interesting to them. We will aim for claims to open between 7 a.m. and 1 a.m. for as many writers as possible across all time zones. If claims fall outside that zone for you, you’ll be able to contact a mod and we’ll work out an alternative method for claims for you.

I don’t know what time zone I’m in? Go to timeanddate.com and enter the nearest major city, and it will tell you your current time zone.

What’s a check-in and how do they work? Check-ins are there to make sure everyone is on track to finish their piece in time, and to communicate any issues with the mods! If you know that you won’t be able to check in on a specific date (lack of internet, etc), please contact the mods in advance.

How long should my fic be? The minimum word count is 5,000 words! There is no maximum word count, but we ask you to be mindful of how much you can actually create in these two months.

If I wrote a multi-chapter work, do I have to have it all posted by the end of Posting Period? You must post your work in its entirety by the end of the two-week posting period.

What does AU mean in this context? AU stands for Alternate Universe and in this case means anything that would make the work not able to be tagged as canon compliant. Alternate endings, role reversals, complete setting or plot swaps, and crossovers all count. As this is a fest specifically to celebrate AUs, we ask that the AU be a significant and celebrated part of the work, not something that could be skipped if you aren’t paying attention.

Can I create two fics for my artist? Absolutely! There is no maximum for number of fics you want to create, but again, be mindful of not biting off more than you can chew two months of creation time.

Can I sign up with two pieces of art? You are welcome to sign up as part of the fest with multiple art pieces. However, if you do so, we will ask that you prioritize which art piece you want to be matched on first, and you will only receive a match to your secondary art piece after everyone else has an writer. We’re going to proritize every particpant getting a team before we prioritize every art piece getting a team.

Can I sign up with a multi-piece art piece? If you want to sign up with a web weave that features multiple panels, a long video, a long comic, a series of connected art pieces, a song cycle, or any other more complex/more ornate work, you are welcome to. We just ask that you make sure you can complete your art piece during the month of artist creation time, and keep in mind that if your piece is sufficiently complex, that might restrict the writers who are able to sign up for your piece. But if you think you can pull it off, then go for it.

Can I sign up with a writing buddy— as part of a collab team? You are welcome to sign up as a collaborative team, either an art team or a writing team! We ask that you make sure you work together well, and when you sign up for an team, you must declare that you’re a duo, so people know that they’ll be getting multiple team members and not one.

Can I submit an art piece that is part of a larger AU? All art pieces must stand alone, so you can't have it that your writer has to consider other art pieces to make a work. The art must also be made specifically for the event. We ask that you not submit an art piece that was made prior to the event, or one that is part of an au you've posted about so often that it will effectively de-anon you. Brainstorming or sketching early is fine.

Once my art piece is done, when can I post it? Art and fic should be posted together, during the Posting Period at the beginning of August. Once you have your art done, you'll have to hold onto it for another two months, while your writer is working.

What if I need to drop out? It is your responsibility to communicate with us if you need to drop out of the event for any reason, and we do need that communication. We know that life is no respecter of fic and art deadlines, so no hard feelings if something happens. However, we would hate for any artist to end up having no fic for their art, so please think about this if you are thinking of dropping out close to reveals. Dropping out after the last check-in without informing the mods will result in not being permitted to take part in further events run by this mod team.

I have a question not answered here? Send us an ask on tumblr, contact @antimony-medusa on tumblr or discord!

FAQ:

How does a fandom gift exchange work?

People fill out a signup where they offer prompts for gifts they would like to receive, then also offer types of gifts they are willing to make, and then they're matched on Ao3 so everyone gets an assignment to make a gift for another person. All these gifts go into a big collection, and they're revealed when everyone participating has a gift.

How will this event work?

This is a Derivative Works recursive exchange. People nominate fics or art that either have a blanket permission statement (fun database here), or a comment from the author saying that works inspired by their work is okay. Then each work is entered into the official tag set as its own thing you can request. People sign up as they would for a normal exchange, with up to ten of these fic fandoms as being something you are either offering to write for or requesting for your own gift. Once matched, you then write a side story, prequel, sequel, AU, or something else within the universe of that fic.

For example, I had the idea that I really want to see a side story about Etho and Iskall in This Is About A Stuffed Bird, by Bee_4. I will sign up and request that fic as one of my fandoms (and others, you need a minimum of three fandoms), and meanwhile I’m offering to write people’s requests for This Is About A Stuffed Bird by Bee_4, the trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the crusades by Odaigahara, The Extradition by Onelituli, or The Dollhouse by MawoftheMagnetar.

I will be matched during matching week, we'll have our creation period like is usual for an exchange, and when I post my gift I will be using both the "gift to" function (to my recipient) and the "inspired by" function (to whoever's fic I'm writing something inspired by). Once posted, there will be an anonymous period of the exchange where I get a mystery gift and my gifter gets a gift that is on anon as well, and then all will be revealed a week later.

The author I want to make fic for isn't on the database, what do I do?

In that case, you would check to see if the author has a listed permission statement that isn't in the database (this is normally under the "bio" section of an author's profile on Ao3). If they do not have one, check if they have a listed way to contact them, or comment (politely) on the fic that you're interested in, asking permission to enter the work in an exchange making works inspired by mcyt art (see template below).

To be accepted as a source material for this exchange, you would need either a blanket permission statement that is unlimited—"feel free to make any fic you want"—or limited in a way that is simple for the mod team to check on. "No NSFW fic" is simple to check, "No bad dad Phil" is not. You may ask this only in a polite way, and do not show up asking them in four different venues. We do not want this to turn into harassment of authors.

If there are multiple authors for a work, you need a permission statement from each one.

Orphaned works, or deleted-with-permission-to-repost works will be considered to have given permission for recursive work, as the author has given up the fic. Anonymous fics still require author permission, as the author retains creative control of the work.

What do I say to ask permission?

This is just an example, but feel free to say something along the lines of: "Hey, I really like your [fic/art]! I’m going to be participating in an exchange where people make fic and art inspired by MCYT works, and I was wondering if you are okay with people making fic/art/web weaves/other fanworks based on your [fic/art]?"

How many fandoms/fics do I need to sign up?

To increase matching possibilities, we will be using Yuletide rules for sign up. You must request a minimum of three unique source materials, and you must offer a minimum of four unique source materials. "Source Materials" here refers to fics, art, or web weaves. Your source materials do not need to come from different originating servers.

You must make sure that you request at least two source materials that are not created by you, and offer at least three source materials that are not created by you.

What happens if I don't match to anyone?

If there is no one who you can create for, you will be offered the opportunity to add more source materials to your sign-up. If you do not wish to add any more fics or art to your signup, you will not be able to participate in the exchange, and your signup will be deleted. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the sign-ups during the sign-up period, to make sure that you're matchable to someone's requests!

If there is no one who can create for you, you will go up as an Initial Pinch Hit, and somone will volunteer to make a fic or art for you.

What if no one knows about the source material (art/fic) that I want to nominate?

There will be a promo channel in the discord! You can make your pitch for why your source material is the best and everyone should love it there.

I can’t finish my gift in time, now what?

No worries, life happens. The important thing is that you notify the mods as soon as possible, so that a Pinch Hitter can be assigned. A Pinch Hitter is an artist or writer who steps in to save the day and make a new gift on an accelerated timeline.

I want to be a pinch hitter!

First of all, thank you. I hope you're ready to speed-read some fic, and then create like the wind. There will be a role in the discord that you can assign, and then you'll be pinged with a pinch hit request when they go out!

What if no one signs up to make a gift for me when I go up as a Pinch Hit?

The exchange will not open until everyone has a gift. If Pinch Hits are not picked up until the deadline, the work reveals will be delayed until someone is able to pick up the PInch Hit. This will continue for as long as necessary until everyone has a gift.

Is shipping allowed?

Yes. Because there is no broad fandom-wide consensus about how Creator boundaries are to be enforced in specific cases (whether it's okay to write beeduo as /r or /p is an obvious one, or whether it’s permitted to ship Joel Smallishbeans) or between specific fandoms (Lifesteal approach to shipping and boundaries is different from HBG is different from DSMP), the mods will not be policing any specific understanding of boundaries across the event. The event will operate on Don't Like Don't Read, in that everyone will have the chance to opt in for themselves as to if they want certain relationships to be written as platonic or romantic, and NSFW will have to be specifically opted into. Delivering un-asked for shipping or NSFW is grounds for a ban from the event. Is NSFW allowed?

Yes. NSFW works are allowed, but must be specifically opted into. No one under 18 is permitted to opt into NSFW and attempts to do so will be grounds for a ban from this event and anywhere else the mod team touches. For the comfort of the greatest number of participants, anything with the tags Underage or Incest will not be permitted to be part of the event.

Is RPF allowed?

This is intended to be a character-focused exchange, but a lot of older works in this fandom are still tagged as Video Blogging RPF, Minecraft, or are wrangled into VB RPF. Because of this, and because with some duos or groups the line between RPF and RP is fuzzy anyways, the mod team will not be legislating what counts as MCYT for the purposes of this exchange. We will be taking your word for it.

Is Dark/Violent content allowed?

Yes. For many of us, the source material that originally drew us to the fandom includes major character death, torture, murder-for-hire, death games, public executions and more. The fanfiction that arose from the source material follows in that trend. We will allow dark content to be part of the event, but it must be tagged for.

We also ask that participants use best judgement in delivering commonly triggering topics un-asked for. If a triggering topic is a canonical element in a work, we will assume that to be a tacit opt-in. We reserve the right to ban people at mod's discretion for delivering unrequested triggering content, under the "do not be an asshole" rule.

What sort of triggering topics should be avoided?

We do not want to put down a list because any list would naturally be non-exhaustives, so we are primarily asking people to use their best judgement. If a trope involves extreme physical violence, violation of consent, dehumanization, extreme terror or fear, body horror, or death, then it should probably not be included unless specifically asked for or checked with your recipient via the mods.

Note that if a triggering topic is a canonical element in a work— for example suicide, child death, or addiction— we will assume that to be a tacit opt-in unless the person specifies differently.

Are major archive warnings (noncon/underage/graphic depictions of violence/MCD) allowed?

Aside from the content rules governing NSFW (no underage or incest, for the comfort of the greatest number of participants), major archive warnings are allowed. Depictions of real life horrors such as genocide and slavery are not-uncommon motifs in MCYT fics, and the mod team is not interested in legislating which types of horrors, griefs or abuses are inherently worse than others and are therefore off-limits. Because holding writing to a quality standard or saying only survivors can write atrocities is unworkable from a moderation standpoint, the three mentioned major archive warnings (MCD, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Noncon), are permitted to be included.

However, Major Archive Warnings must be explicitly opted into on Ao3, and delivering un-asked for major archive warnings is grounds for a ban from this event. The mod team reserves the right to warn other mod teams on both the MCYT and Multi-fandom side about your bad behaviour.

Is AI content permitted?

No. Specifically, what is colloquially referred to as “AI” content— large language models such as Chat GPT or Midjourney that have been trained on Common Crawl’s unsourced art and writing— is not permitted. Machine-assisted writing or art helpers such as spell check or grammarly are fine.

What is a DNW?

All participants will have the opportunity to fill out a DNW, which stands for Do Not Want. This is anything that has the potential to ruin a gift for you, and is where you opt out of content that would trigger, squick, or just displease you. DNWs must be phrased politely, (so no "No foster aus because they suck and you suck if you like them"), and they must be reasonable, (so no attempting to box someone into a specific gift, i.e. "DNW anything that isn't a space au where Tommy is a dinosaur-hybrid and Tubbo is a ghost bee and they rampage through the living ship named Las Nevadas"), and they must be specific and clear, (so no “no triggering content"), but they can be as petty (disliking specific art styles) or as broad-reaching (no modern aus, no specific ships, no crossovers with specific servers or fics) as you like. Deliberately breaking someone's DNW is grounds for a ban from the exchange.

How do I sign up/nominate?

We made specific posts for this, as it's a bit complicated! You can check them out here.

How many source materials can I nominate?

You can nominate a maximum of 10 source materials!

My recipient requested 10 things, but I've only read four of them. How many gifts do I have to make?

You only have to make ONE gift, no matter how many things you matched on. Match on ten source materials— you make one gift. Match on one source material— you make one gift.

Can I do the exchange anonymously?

While your offers remain private, and you can always give a gift on anon, your requests will be public, and you will receive a gift publically. We would recommend that you not request anything that you do not want publically associated with your account, or use a sock account if you're concerned. Moreover, you must publicly join the discord, so this is not the exchange to participate in if you want to be 100% anonymous.

Can I make more than one gift?

If you wish to sign up twice, you will need two Ao3 accounts, and you will need to change your discord name to indicate that both accounts are yours, so we know we have you in the discord. You'll also need to inform the mods that you are using a sock account, so we can make sure that we do not match you to yourself.

If you do not want to go through all of that hassle, you are still welcome to make as many gifts as you want, and give them as treats! Treats are extra gifts— on top of your normal assignment— that you manually address to the recipient and manually add to the collection, and they'll be revealed along with all the normal gifts when we do the grand reveal. Treats are very welcome!

Important Housekeeping Announcement for the AU In Which All The Marriages Are Arranged

Honestly I'm structuring this more as a letter because I'm a bit emotional about this entire situation.

With the current state of AI scraping the internet and stealing art and stories right and left, I have locked my AO3 to AO3 users only.

Yes, AO3 has already been scraped, but chances are high they will continue scraping and any level of protection available is something I want to take advantage of. I'd been putting it off because I had over 100 works and that was just...a lot. But I figured out how to lock them all at once so that's done now.

Given The State of Things, I honestly don't really trust that tumblr also will not/has not already been scraped so the chances not zero that I am not going to post the full fics on here, just links to the AO3 posts. I will keep posting snippets on here bc i crave validation, but the actual, full form fics themselves might be just on AO3. I really don’t know.

I hate doing this because I really want to keep my stories as accessible to as many people as possible and some of my earliest fandom memories are of so many fics I was following and loved disappearing, either deleted or friend locked, as Livejournal went dark in the aftermath of Strikethrough.

I really do encourage everyone who doesn't have an AO3 account to get one if you can. It is invite only but the waiting list does move at a fairly decent pace and if you know someone who does have an account already they might still have invites they can give you.

I've been on AO3 for a long time and am perfectly willing to answer any questions at all, about functionality or the controversies surrounding it. Both my DMs and my askbox (here and my main) are open, including for anonymous messages (though sending an anon message is risky because I am incredibly adhd and sometimes it takes me a bit to actually answer asks and you won't get an alert when I answer an anonymous one you sent, if you have a question you don't want your name on publicly, you can send a dm or just tell me in the ask you would rather stay anonymous and i can make a fresh post without your url on it or answer the ask privately as you are comfortable with.)

I know the mcyt fan community in general skews young, though I'm not sure about the demographics of my little corner here specifically, I myself am ~30 (which is still young in fandom in general) and I have seen destruction of fandom spaces before. We have survived it, we will continue to, but some things; art, fic, original stories, will be lost forever. AO3 is one of if not the most secure place to share your fic. It is an archive designed to last.

I'm getting rambly so I'll sign off here, thanks for reading.

#im linking my ao3 in the notes too #if anyone wants that #ao3 #rain rambles #this also applies to my life series fics #like elements of an interdimensional prison break #and #avatar the legend of jimmy #im not taking down what i already have on here #but i probably won't be posting any new full fics on here #god i hate this so much #marriage of state au

About me/Things to know

-I’m Raven

-My pronouns are They/He/She

I mainly post drawings, generally traditional art, sometimes digital art

Here’s a list of all the fandoms I’m currently in:

MCYT: Hermitcraft, Traffic smp, Empires, Evo, Dsmp (Very rarely)

Video games: Stardew valley, Hollow knight, Pokémon

Books: 3 dark crowns, The lunar chronicles

Tv shows: Gravity falls, The owl house, Amphibia

AUs: Boatem knights by Applestruda, The hermit archives by Sixteenth days, Hermits hollow by Majickth, Bets against the void by Mikaotter, ATUS by aayaptre. (Both Boatem knights AU and Hermits hollow AU are the creators tumblr name. The others can be found on ao3)

Miscellaneous: Hamilton, Six the musical, Helluva boss

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mainly this blog is MCYT, however I will randomly throw other things in the mix, so it’s kinda a melting pot of fandoms. I do take art requests, so feel free to shoot me one, however it might take me a bit to actually draw it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do sometimes draw or reblog characters being shipped, specifically MCYT, but just as a disclaimer, I do not ship the ccs, only ever the characters. And I will not ship anyone who is uncomfortable with being shipped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am not really on any other social media, so I do not have access to know if a content creator has said that they are uncomfortable with being shipped, so please tell me if I do ship someone who is not comfortable with being shipped. On that same note, I also will most likely have no idea if a content creator is toxic or does something on a social media platform, so again, please tell me if someone I draw is toxic or has done something to anger the community.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reblogs

I am trying to more often reblog art and writing, because I personally know how good it feels to have someone reblogs your art/writing, so you might see a lot of other people creations on my blog. I am trying to clean up my tags and add “#my art” for all my art, however that’s probably gonna take a bit to do. I also will sometimes reblog something from a fandom I’m not even in, just so you know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last little thing: I do not consent to my art being used in any way, shape, or form to train ai, or anything related to ai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that’s it!

(Just gonna tag all my fandoms don’t mind me)

#get to know me #hermitcraft #traffic smp #empires smp #dsmp #Stardew valley #Hollow knight #pokemon #3 dark crowns #the lunar chronicles #Hamilton #hulluva boss #Gravity falls #the owl house #amphibia

WHY DOES THE RANBAI (Ranboo ai) THINK CHOMMY HAD A CRUSH ON HIM AT SOME POINT??? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??

HE'S BI TRUTHING TOMMY HELP

WHY IS HE BRINGING UP TWITTER???

This is wild

so, im pretty sure the ai pulls from like a database of stuff that people have probably sent to other mcyt ai's, because there's a LOT i didn't feed him that he spits out. if you see a message thats out of character, make sure to rate it as one star, and click the arrows on either side to get a different response thats better.

GREETINGS, TRAVELLERS, AND WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Heads up: it’s chaos here

I am Rewrittenwrongs and this is my multifandom sideblog! The content I post here will lean pretty heavily towards whatever my brain is hyperfixating on, which is currently Percy Jackson and Batman. I’m an Ao3 author, amateur artist, and my pronouns are he/him they/them fae/faer and zey/zem! Content to expect from me includes fan fiction, Ao3 posts, art and random little projects. Feel free to send me as many asks as you like, including ask games (and tag games). My Ao3 goes by the same name, but all fics there are Registered Users Only to avoid AI scraping and deter plagiarism and spam comments. My main blog is writtenreblogs if you see that name lurking in your ask box or spamming your relog notifs :)

My most recent fics:

Vaguely dead (I kept you alive) - Riordanverse, Batman: The first thing Nico does in the morning is find some guy bleeding out in an alley. The first thing Red Hood does is get shot.

Safe - Riordanverse: Directly after one of the last chapters of Blood of Olympus, Nico find himself staying awake against his will.

Bench Trio the Boy Band - MCYT: Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo realise they can all play instruments. Chaos ensues.

And a small note for anyone curious: I am open to transformative works such as art, animations, podfics and written works inspired by my fics - as long as you leave credit - but not reuploads. If you leave express credit and a link to my blog you can repost my art, but not anything I have written. If you do choose to create anything inspired by me, thank you, and please let me know!

#masterpost #tada #🎉#I have one of these now!

A little bit about me! Pinned post with useful info

Hi :)

I’m Noxeorn and I’m small freelance digital artist who does funky fanart in free time :D

My non fandom art includes a lot of dragons! So may be sometimes I'll post them too (but they're not my main point of interest here, so it's gonna be once in a while)

I always read tags and comments and really appreciate them, as well as reblogs in general!

I also have an ask box open, so feel free to ask me dumb stuff (especially about OCs), may be I'll reply with sketches even

My main fandom: Invader Zim (it somehow happened that I draw mainly tallest and ocs tho :”D but I don’t mind to make content of another characters whenever I have ideas!)

My secondary fandoms (can be pretty inactive there): Homestuck (fantrolls to be precise), Hollow knight, MCYT/Minecraft

My art tag: #Noxeorn art

Other places you can find me

Twitter - I post literally everything there, and also talk.

Twitch - I do streams! Mostly art one, so feel free to drop a follow and come to hang out

YouTube - Occasionally I do animations, animatics and timelapses and post there

DeviantArt - Another place where I started to post everything again lol

Ways to tip me

Unfortunately cause of my unluck to be born in a dumb country, I can't use a lot of stuff to accept tips (including tumblr ways)

But fear not! There are still some ways

Boosty - you can donate on the left any sum you want. It accepts USD, but paypal currently doesn't work

Patreon - I have a tip jar there, so feel free to use tho I'll need to figure out how to withdraw

My boundaries

In general - just don’t be a weirdo and you’re alright.

Tone indicators are totally fine and really useful cause sometimes I can’t tell the difference between jokes, sarcasm etc. But if you don’t use them it’s fine as well!

Regarding art - just credit me if you want to use some of my fanart on your pfp or header. If you want to study my piece - go ahead, just give a credit and keep in mind that you’ll also learn my mistakes.

The only thing I’m not okay with is when you edit my art or use it for AI learning, that’s all

Full list of my boundaries can be found here

MCYTBLR AU Fest: General Rules and FAQ

TIMELINE: May 13: Writer creation starts, Discord opens. May 13-15: Writers seeking Beta Readers can sign up (having a Beta Reader is optional) May 17: Beta Readers can claim stories and be assigned to Teams (having a Beta Reader is optional) May 29-30: Team Check-in #1 June 12-15: Writer seeking Artists can sign up June 17-18: Artists can claim stories and be assigned to Teams July 1-2: Team Check-in #2 July 10: Podficcer creation start. If you are working with a podficcer, this is your creation end date, and their start date. July 17: Main creation end. Unless you have an extension, you should both be ready to post at this point. July 17-23: Posting Week

MCYTBLR AU Fest is a mini big-bang event where artists and writers work together in teams to make stories and art inspired by MCYT and set in an Alternate Universe.

Expectation: Writers must deliver a story of at least 5k words. Artists must deliver a finished piece of art inspired by the story they signed up for. Dark or triggering topics or themes must be tagged for.

Rules:

You must be a member of the discord, for team matching.

Because of Tumblr, Ao3 and Discord TOS, you must be 13 to participate.

Make a good-faith effort to respect streamer boundaries

You agree to work together with your teammate(s) to make a piece of art and a fic together.

All works must be MCYT-centric and set in an AU— no canon-compliance.

No AI-Generated content.

Links:

Discord: Here

FAQ:

What is MCYTBLR AU Fest? MCYTBLR AU Fest is a minibang-type event where writers and artists come together to create fanworks centred on MCYT and set in an alternate universe from canon.

How does it work? Writers will have a month to start work on a draft. After a month, at the half-way mark of their draft, they create a short summary/synopsis of their fic, which is posted anonymously for artists to view and claim. Teams are assigned by mods, and then teams will then have another month of creation time. Artists will create art based on the story they chose, and writers will finish their fic (minimum 5k words).

What type of MCYT is included? We welcome creations based on any SMP, whether or not they have a canon tag on Ao3. Mianite, DSMP, Hermitcraft, 3rd Life, Lifesteal, Witchcraft SMP— it's all welcome.

Can I join if my Art is a Playlist/Web Weave? You can particpate as an artist if your art is:

Digital/Traditional Art

Podfic

Playlist

Web Weave

What are the requirements for art? The requirements for different forms of art are:

Digital or Traditional art: a minimum of one piece, finished, inspired by the author's work.

Podfic: a podfic of the author's work, edited to whatever a baseline level of editing is for you.

Playlists: a minimum of one playlist inspired by the author's work per 5k, rounding up, to a limit of three required playlists. Playlists must be a minimum of an hour each.

Web Weaves: a minimum of one web weave inspired by the author's work per 5 k, rounding up, to a limit of two required web weaves, with at least ten elements each.

Other Art Form: other art forms such as fan games, original songs, would fall under this category. If you wanted to sign up with an Other art form, you need to contact the mod team and work out what minimum expectations would be for your art.

If I want to make more web weaves, can I? You can make as many pieces of art as you wish, the limit is just on what is required/expected by the mod team. For example, if your writer wrote a 10k work, you would be required to make two web weaves– but you could do as many as you want. If your writer wrote a 50k work, you would still only be required to make two web weaves, but you can do as many as you want.

Is anything required from me if I'm working with a particular type of artist? In general the requirement is just to be collaborative and communicative with your artist, but the one exception is if you are working with a podficcer. A podficcer can't start work until your work is complete (including editing), so to make sure they actually have time to record, anyone working with a podficcer will be required to finish a week early (so your writing completion deadline would be to finish by the 10th of July, instead of the 17th). In addition, podficcers will be generally expected to post near the end of posting week, so that they have two weeks to do the recording.

I heard there was web weaves, can I sign up for web weaves only? To increase matching opportunities, as a creator you must opt in to at least two types of art.

Is shipping allowed? Yes. For the comfort of the greatest number of participants, we ask that participants make a good-faith effort to ensure that any shipping is boundary-respecting, but because there is no broad fandom-wide consensus about how that is defined in specific cases (whether it's okay to write beeduo as /r or /p is an obvious case) or between specific fandoms (lifesteal approach to shipping is different from HBG is different from DSMP), the mods will not be policing any specific understanding of boundaries across the event. The event will operate on Don't Like Don't Read, in that everyone will have the chance to pick for themself if they are comfortable working with any specific ship, romantic or platonic, and it will not be permitted to change the nature of a relationship to /r after teams are assigned.

Is NSFW allowed? Yes, nsfw is permitted as long as it respects creator boundaries. When pitching a work, it must be clearly stated that the work contains NSFW content. To sign up to create an NSFW work everyone on the team must be 18+, and adding NSFW to a work after teams have been assigned is not permitted, even if everyone on the team is 18+. For the comfort of the greatest number of people in the exchange and the mod team, nothing that would warrant the tags Underage, Rape/Noncon, Dubcon, or Incest would be permitted.

If noncon isn't permitted, is non-consentual touching (platonic) allowed? As technically a punch in the face counts as non-consensual touching, and pvp is a classic part of most MCYT canons, we find banning all nonconsensual contact to be unnecessarily restrictive. As long as nonconsensual contact is not sexual in nature, it is permitted, however, it must be tagged for adequately along with any other potentially triggering content.

Do you allow dark or violent content? Yes. The lore of many mcyt servers includes death games, abuse, cannibalism, murder-for-hire, and other dark or violent themes. However, all potentially triggering content must be tagged for and those tags must be part of the sign-up, so collaboraters can make an informed choice to get infolved or not. Moreover, if your fic is rated E for any reason (including violence or gore), your team must be 18+.

How can I get involved? You can participate in this event as a:

Author

Artist

Pinch Hitter (Artist)

Pinch Hitter (Writer)

Beta Reader

You can even sign up for multiple roles, as long as you're very sure you can make your deadlines!

What is a Pinch Hitter? A pinch hitter is a person who saves the day and steps in when the original creator is unable to deliver their work for whatever reason, making a new work on an accelerated timeline. In case of pinch hitting a fanfic, you will will be asked to either write using the original writer's outline, or pitch a new story for the artist to pick among. If you are an artist, you will step in to make a new piece of art for a writer whose original artist dropped out.

Can I participate as a beta reader? Yes! Matching with a Beta Reader will be optional, but creators will have the opportunity to sign up to have a Beta Reader join their team for brainstorming, accountability, spellcheck, editing, or whatever else they need. Matching beta readers will be first come first serve.

What kind of a summary will I provide as a writer? How long or detailed? We ask that you keep your summary to two paragraphs or shorter, about as long as the AO3 Summary + Author's Note boxes. When you write out this summary, you should be about halfway through your draft, so you will have a general sense of how the story goes. In addition to a description of your fic, we'll ask that you list out the Server it takes place on, what type of AU it is, any ships (romantic or platonic), the expected word count, what age group of people you are okay working with, and any trigger tags that you expect to take place in the story.

When do I have to join the discord? You have the option to join the dicord and hang out as soon as creation starts on May 13, and if you are signing up either as a Beta Reader or wanting to be matched with a Beta Reader, you need to join the discord before signups close on May 15. If you don't need a beta reader or you already have someone you normally work with, you only have to join the discord before author sign ups close for artist matching, which is June 15.

Why do authors have to be halfway through their draft to sign up? How are you checking this? This is both to decrease the number of people who drop out halfway through, and to make sure that the artist definitely has something to work with. If you write your entire fic in the weekend before the posting deadline, that means the artist has a matter of days or hours for them to do their work, which isn't fair. Writers will be expected to submit a google doc with their half-draft in it at sign-up, for mods to verify word count.

How does team assignment work? We will release a document with all the summaries in it, and shortly afterwards we will release a sign-up form. Artists will be expected to list out out a top-five of stories they want to work with, and mods will match artists with stories on a first-come-first-served basis.

What happens if there are more artists than authors, or more authors than artists? If there are more artists, some fics will be assigned multiple artists. If there are more authors, we will put in place a question where artists can specify that they'd be willing to make multiple pieces, and a (hopefully small) number of artists would be assigned multiple teams.

What if all the fics I list have already been assigned? If artists outnumber authors, mods will set your list aside for later. Once every fic has one artist, we will assign you as a secondary artist to one of your chosen fics. If authors outnumber artists, you will need to submit another claim. While mods will update the form throughout the claiming period and remove fully claimed fics, there may be some delay with removing fics if we are unavailable.

I’m in [insert time zone here]. What if I’m not awake when claims open? There will be a spot to input your time zone in the discord. Mods will try to open the claims at a time that works for as many artists as possible. The fic summaries will also be available for 24 hours before claims so that everyone can read the summaries and pick out the ones that sound most interesting to them. We will aim for claims to open between 7 a.m. and 1 a.m. for as many artists as possible across all time zones. If claims fall outside that zone for you, you'll be able to contact a mod and we'll work out an alternative method for claims for you.

I don't know what time zone I'm in? Go to timeanddate.com and enter the nearest major city, and it will tell you your current time zone.

What's a check-in and how do they work? Check-ins are there to make sure everyone is on track to finish their piece in time, and to communicate any issues with the mods! If you know that you won’t be able to check in on a specific date (lack of internet, etc), please contact the mods in advance.

How long should my fic be? The minimum word count is 5,000 words! There is no maximum word count, but we ask you to be mindful of how much you can actually create in these two months.

If I wrote a multi-chapter work, do I have to have it all posted by the end of Posting Week? You must complete your work by the end of posting week, but in the cases of longer works, you may want to stretch out posting. In cases where you want to extend posting, you will be able to send in your draft to be verified by the mods, and then post just 40% of the draft during posting week.

Can I create two pieces of art? Absolutely! There is no maximum for number of pieces you want to create, but again, be mindful of not biting off more than you can chew in a month of creation time.

Can I sign up with two fics? You are welcome to sign up as part of the fest with multiple fics, especially given that the word count is reasonably achievable for many people. However, if you do so, we will ask that you prioritize which fic you want to be matched on first, and you will only receive a match to your secondary fic after everyone else has an artist. We're going to proritize every particpant getting a team before we prioritize every story getting a team.

Can I sign up with a writing buddy— as part of a collab team? You are welcome to sign up as a collaborative team! We ask that you make sure you work together well, and when you sign up for an artist, you must declare that you're a team, so people know that they'll be getting multiple writers and not one.

Can I submit a fic that is part of a larger story? All stories must stand alone, you can't have it so that your artist has to read other works to understand your existing work. The fic also must be written specifically for the event. We ask that you not submit a summary for a fic that was already written prior to the start of the event. Brainstorming or outlining starting early is fine.

What if I need to drop out? It is your responsibility to communicate with us if you need to drop out of the event for any reason, and we do need that communication. We know that life is no respecter of fic and art deadlines, so no hard feelings if something happens. However, we would hate for any writer to end up having no art for their fic, so please think about this if you are thinking of dropping out close to reveals. Likewise, it would suck if an artist put a lot of effort into creating art for a fic that ends up not being written, so authors, please inform us in advance if you must drop out or think you will not be able to complete your fic on time. Dropping out after the last check-in without informing the mods will result in not being permitted to take part in further events run by this mod team.

I have a question not answered here? Send us an ask on tumblr, contact @antimony-medusa on tumblr or discord!

Fake fic title: ants and coca cola don't mix

Wilbur probably should have been more cautious when setting up his one man picnic near an anthill. That or actually look at his drink when he took a swig between strums of his guitar. Now he's got a 2 inch tall ant hybrid screaming at him from his palm as he wipes his spit and coke off them. They're demanding compensation for the ordeal they went through but he can't for the life of him figure out what they could mean by that.

Prompts: Test, catch, soft

Oh goodness this took so long. No wifi does that I suppose. But I like how this turned out and I'm definitely wanting to make it one of my official AUs! I hope it is to your liking. vwv

The Fairy's Trial

16. All the fairies of this colony know that is the age where children are deemed adults. If they survive their trial, that is.

Tommy knew this as well, even more so on the night of his birthday. His trial is simple. Go out and hunt an animal much larger than himself, then bring something back from it. He inhaled deeply from where he sat on a root. His current issue is finding what exactly he should hunt.

Something like a deer would be far too big, though he's not too hesitant to say he's tempted. He could show it off proudly and gain praise from the whole colony. But he was smart enough to know better. A squirrel or mouse would be the opposite problem. The colony hunted those regularly. This was supposed to prove he could handle more challenging hunts.

His colony made sure to train him well enough for this, if he chose the correct creature to go after. Tommy stood up and stretched his wings, beginning a wandering walk.

"A rabbit? No there probably aren't any nearby. Foxes are all in their dens by now. A raccoon would-" Tommy felt something hard hit his face and stumbled back onto his ass.

Cursing under his breath, he shot his gaze up and glared at the wooden fence post he'd surely walked into. Pulling himself to his feet, he looked around. It seemed he had made his way from the forest and onto the edge of a human's lawn. It was forbidden for a fairy to interact with a human, usually for the fairy's own safety. They've seen what the humans do to butterflies and bugs.

Tommy shook the thought from his head and turned to head back into the forest. He instantly froze in his tracks. Mere inches from him was the snout of a pure black cat, gleaming eyes locked onto his. Both were like statues for a few long moments and Tommy's hand twitched for his dagger.

The cat was faster.

Tommy fell into a roll, clutching the fresh scratch across his chest. The claws had mostly grazed him but blood had already begun to bead up and into his shirt. He shot to his feet with his dagger in hand. While it was difficult to read it's body language, the flicking of the cat's tail made it obvious it was toying with him. Tommy yelled and darted to one side of it.

Earning a giant paw to the face.

Tommy grunted as his back made harsh contact with the fence post. He glared at the cat. Fighting a predator like this alone was never a good idea but it was clear the thing wasn't going to let him go back the way he came. Tommy took a quick glance over his shoulder. Perhaps he could run into the human's yard far enough to take flight? It seemed like his only at the current moment.

With a short buzz of his wings, he took off running under the wooden slats. The black cat followed almost immediately. Tommy ran for a few moments, with a couple glances back at the cat, before flapping his wings to begin flight. A slow take off. Why was he-?

Instantly two paws slammed on either side of his body, yanking him back towards the ground. He felt his body collide with the dirt and his head with something much more solid. A weak squint of his eyes showed a pebble right next to his face, his left wing bent at an odd angle, and the cat crouched over him with a paw keeping him firmly pinned down.

Tommy squeezed his eyes shut. A sniff caused his hair to flutter and his heart to race. And it practically stopped beating with what he heard next.

"Enderchest, what on earth have you got this time?" A voice called from high above.

The porch light shifted and dimmed behind his eyelids and the pressure on his back was lifted. Tommy dared to open his eyes.

"You know I don't want you messing with bugs. The poor little things don't deserve it and you could get sick if you decide to ea-" The giant figure of the human stilled, Enderchest, the cat Tommy assumed, tucked snug under one arm. He couldn't make out many details due to the glare of the porch light behind them but the fucker sure was massive. Tommy might have even been afraid if he weren't quickly losing his grip on consciousness.

"If you... What the hell is that?"

...

Tommy curled into a tighter ball as he came to, his mind cloudy. He could tell if he opened his eyes it would hurt. Or sit up. There was a dull ache in his head and chest that he slowly realized were from the cat. The cat that he was trying to flee from. Hmm. Was he successful? He vaguely remembers a human. If only his mind weren't so fuzzy.

Fuzzy? He furrowed his brow and ran a hand along the ground. It was fuzzy like moss. Except moss wasn't quite this... Fluffy. Despite the urge to just drift back off, Tommy cracked his eyes open. He was right, the light stung and made his head throb. He certainly didn't predict the fluffy pink cloth against his cheek. He ran his hand over it again. Soft. And warm too. He fought his desire to sink into it and sleep once more by forcing himself to sit up.

Tommy's chest and back didn't hurt as much as he thought, but he definitely did not feel fine. He clutched his poorly bandaged chest and took a breath before looking up.

The room appeared plain, with a desk and bed and dresser, but most definitely human. The cloth he laid on was on the desk amongst many other items. The human he'd seen had clearly found and caught him. So why wasn't he in a jar or cage? Tommy would honestly not be sticking around for the answer.

He hauled himself the his feet with a slight teeter that wouldn't really matter while flying. He took a deep breath once more and flapped his wings. He... He only got a few inches of the ground before crashing back down, luckily onto the cloth.

Tommy made a noise of confusion as glanced at his back. He felt his heart catch in his throat. His left wing was bent, he remembered now. Fucking cat. He took a few shaky breaths and settled onto the cloth. A wing could take weeks to heal, if it healed properly. He not sure if he wants to wait that long with a strange human. He couldn't exactly get himself home like this. He wasn't trapped at the moment but that just meant he had no baring for what they were planning with him.

Tommy glanced around the desk for ideas. A tall plastic looking box sat just behind him look good enough for cover if the human came back. He made his way towards the edge of the cloth.

Just as he dropped off the far edge of the plush material, he heard the door open. Tommy froze as a tall human entered the room. They had stark black and white hair with colored glasses and casual attire. They seemed to be scolding the cat again.

"I'm gonna lock you in a god damn room if you don't quit messing with stuff. You're the reason this door is closed anyway," The cat made an incessant meow, "Yeah, no you're not going near them." They human closed the door again and soft pawing was barely audible from the other side.

Tommy watched, stock still, as the human sighed and walked towards the desk. He could see that they had a small tray on their arm but not what the tray held. His eyes widened as they seemed to scan the pink cloth with a breath of a gasp. They set the tray down on the other end of the desk and begin searching around the cloth.

They eyes found his almost instantly and his breathing became shallower. They stayed locked for what felt ages, what with them practically looming over him. Tommy didn't want to be the one to make the first move but he also wanted this staring contest to end. Luckily, the human was the first to speak.

"Are... Are you feeling alright now?" They asked in a soft voice.

Tommy didn't trust their concern in the slightest, but he didn't want them to know he was terrified for his life. So he settled on what he was known to do best.

"Be a lot fucking better if your fucking cat didn't try to murder me!" He shouted at them, coming out from behind the cloth some. He kept his wings tucked low in hopes of hiding the damage from the human's sight.

They flinched back in surprise, tripping over their words, "I... I'm so, so sorry about them! I've been trying to stop them from doing this kind of thing for ages before, well, before something like this," They gestured in Tommy's general area on the desk, "I'll try to help you any way I can with whatever you need to heal."

Tommy's head throbbed. With anger, with fear, the possible concussion he had. He was tired and had no way to get home, if they'd even want him there after failing his trial. Part of him wanted to take that offer, have somewhere to stay while his wing readjusted.

A bigger part was horrified at the possibility of this being some kind of ploy to make him easier to capture and use. It's rare, he's heard of it happening before, using a fairy for their little bit of magic. Several people have disappeared. But he was here all night and very much not dead...

Apparently he'd taken to long to answer.

"I, uh, could just help you back home if you'd prefer? I'd like to help to make up for what happened but if you'd rather just leave I get it," They rubbed their neck nervously, probably wanting him to give some kind of answer.

Tommy stared at them with a bit of shock before sighing. If they were offering to let him leave...

"Fine. I'll let you help me. Just keep that fucking thing away from me," He pointed towards the door.

The human let out a breath of relief, visibly relaxing, "Of course! I planed too anyway, for everyone's sake," The human stated before standing straighter. Tommy backed up several inches on shaky legs.

The human retrieved their tray as Tommy processed what he'd just done. He's trusted a human. With his life. The concussion must have make him insane.

"Oh! I'm Ranboo, by the way," They set a small plate of chopped fruits a small distance from him with a soft smile, "Could I know your name?"

He stared at the fruit a moment, slowly walking closer to it. He picked up a piece of what seemed to be strawberry and glanced up at th-Ranboo, "Tommy..." He takes a bite from the strawberry.
