"Jacen has abilities. His father, Kanan Jarrus, was a Jedi." - Huyang (to Captain Carson Teva)

Happy Sunday!

My goodness, I had meant to post this sooner! I'm been so busy with work, life, and Halloween costumes, that I've been neglecting my social media accounts! I actually drew this three weeks ago.

So...when Kanan was name dropped in episode 5, I got total chills and misty eyed. Kanan Jarrus is one of my all-time favourite Star Wars characters and I <3 him so much. I absolutely LOVE how Rebels Season 5....er, I mean...Ashoka, shows the mother and son relationship of Hera and Jacen. I had thought, "Awwwww, Jacen is like his daddy!" And how he wears the pauldron like his father. So sad that Kanan never got to see his son. (Darn it, Rebels season 4! Whhhhhyyyyy?) Of course I had to draw Hera and Jacen, and since I am a mother to a son, it makes it extra special to me. Hera must be so proud of her son no matter what, but the fact that Jacen used his Force abilities to find Ahsoka is just awesome.

Ahoska went by so fast, didn't it? I absolutely loved the series (with episode 5 being the best, making me emotional, teary-eyed, and giving me goosebumps so many times). I can't wait until the next season. So much goodness!

✨️I hope everybody likes this! Please share! It always means the world to me when somebody loves my artwork enough to share it. And as always, please let me know if you also draw Star Wars fan art (as well as Dragon Age, Naruto, and Minecraft).✨️

This was drawn with Sakura Pigma Micron pens, then coloured in with a mix of Copic Markers and Ohuhu Markers. White accents done with a gel pen. I had no idea what to do for a background (I'm rubbish with backgrounds, honestly), so I used a watercolour brush in Photoshop Elements & part of an Adobe stock watercolour image. I made the "stars" with the Dodge tool. So once again, a mix of traditional & digital! I actually used to use watercolours a very long time ago. I should start using them again for backgrounds, instead of "cheating" with Photoshop.

Technomancy 101

Hi, friends! I'm back with another witchy FAQ from the past couple weeks. This time from the world of tech magic!

Here are some quick TL;DR technomancy tips for those who may not want to read the long FAQs post beneath the cut:

1. Chest spells (like a jar spell but with a chest filled with in game items that match the intent)

2. Poppet spells using the game characters by giving them items or altering their names/appearances

3. Similar to a chest spell but not necessarily magic per se - using chests or sheds with in-game items as altars and/or offerings

4. Build a shrine / altar / temple with offerings, or leave an item such as a torch in the game world as an offering

5. Burn/bury/destroy ingredients to activate a spell with the desired effect

6. Write an affirmation or a spell on a sign or other in-game item and destroy it to activate as a sigil

7. Build a golem or animal pen or something as a servitor for protection

8. Use some form of sympathetic magic connecting in-game items to IRL items

9. Light sticks, flashlights, plastic lightsabers, and toy sonic screwdrivers make *awesome* wands, especially if they light up and make noise.

10. The possibilities are limited to your imagination!!

(I am choosing Wittgenstein from The Brave Little Toaster movies as my mascot for tech magic, simply because I like him and because I can. Image credit - Fandom Wiki.)

What is technomancy?: Technomancy, techno magic, and tech magic are all terms for a form of magic that utilizes common modern technology, such as smartphones and video games. Technically, “technomancy” could refer specifically to divination with technology; however, in my experience, the term usually has a broader meaning in common usage. I personally tend to use these terms interchangeably, with perhaps a slight preference for technomancy, since I learned that name first.

What are some forms of technomancy?: Common forms of technomancy include digital sigils, emoji spells, shufflemancy, video game spells, and video game altars.

How do I create a digital sigil?: The ways are about as unlimited as creating a physical sigil on paper. You can use a drawing app on a smartphone or tablet, find a digital sigil generator online, use a photo editor on a picture, or even add a string of charged letters to an email signature (just make sure they blend in!).

OK, and what's the deal with emoji spells?: Yes, this is an actual thing (though not a thing that I'm particularly experienced with). They're pretty straightforward. They can be done like a sigil - string emojis together and charge them. Or like an actual spell - put them together and send to cast, or like to charge and send/reblog to cast.

What kind of games can you use for technomancy?: Any of them. Minecraft is a very popular one. So is Stardew Valley. Skyrim and other RPGs are other common choices. As with other forms of magic, the only real limit is your imagination.

What kind of spells can you cast in a game?:

Chest spells - like digital jar spells - are very common.

Poppet spells are another common choice. In games that allow you to create a character, or in games where you can give items to an NPC, you can turn the character into a poppet of someone and give them an item to cast the spell. For example, if I wanted emotional strength, I could create a Skyrim character as a poppet for myself, and have the character drink a strength potion to cast a spell of strength for myself in the real world.

Burying or burning items in games like Minecraft can be done to cast spells that are similar to physical spells that require burning a paper, bay leaf, or other ingredient.

Enchanting! Use the enchanting function in a video game like Skyrim or Minecraft to enchant a physical object. For example, you might choose to connect a physical scarf to a shield in Skyrim, and when you enchant the in-game shield with a damage resistance effect, voila! You now have a fancy enchanted scarf to protect yourself from spiritual attacks.

Customize your avatar to your advantage! In games such as Sky: Children Of The Light, where you can accessorize your character, you can equip different items to cast a different spell on yourself. For example, you might use the Saluting Captain's staff as a cosmetic to cast a spell of protection on yourself, or you could use a particular cape as a spiritual veil.

For deity work & spirit work, consider creating a space in your game (e.g. a chest, shed, home, biome, character, etc.) dedicated to the entities you work with. For example, temples and altars in Minecraft are common. Devotional sheds and chests are popular in Stardew Valley. I’ve named some appropriate Pokemon after an entity or dedicated the critter to them. You can even place a torch or candle in the game world as an offering.

There are lots more out there, too! This list is a starting point, not a limitation. Use your imagination and swap ideas with others, too!

How exactly does all of this work?? How is it possible?!: OK, so the principle behind tech magic is that you're harnessing the energy of multiple sources.

First, the device itself (and if you're using something like a Switch, the cartridge or other physical media). Each of these items has its own materials - electricity, glass and metal, etc. And each of those materials has a magical property that you can use... Glass and metal come from the Earth and have their own correspondences, while electricity is pure energy in itself.

Second, you have the energy of symbolism, or as I like to think of it with a butchered sociology term, symbolic interactionism - i.e., the idea that we create our own reality (or our *perception* of reality) via symbols. In other words, the power of correspondences! A candle is still a candle whether it's physical or digital. Lapis lazuli has the same qualities in this world that it does in a pixelated version. And so forth. So when you use the correspondences in digital spell work, provided that you raise the energy, it can and does have real world consequences. Similar to doing magic in the astral as opposed to the physical world... you are making a conscious decision to connect a digital item to an effect either in the astral and/or physical worlds.

Finally, you're also harnessing the power of belief and the energy of attention, which is where the chaos magic concepts start to come in. The digital worlds are real because you believe they are and you pour parts of your energy and personality into them - and so do *millions* of other people, in many cases. All of that energy is sort of like a reservoir in these games and it's just waiting to be harvested for spell work!

So… This is another subset of chaos magic, then.: Pretty much, yes. I haven't seen it categorized as anything else yet, except for in those cases where technomancy is given its own category.

And what did you mean by “energy of symbolism” again?: Correspondences. Both traditional ones and your own. For example, obsidian corresponds with protection IRL. So if you were making a chest spell in Minecraft for protection, you'd want to consider adding an obsidian block to your spell. Some of this is also stuff that you can brainstorm on your own and explore! Like for example, in the Elder Scrolls series, there are several plants and items that don't exist IRL, such as the corkbulb root - but in the game, that item can be used to make a potion of healing, so for me, it has a healing correspondence. Also, if the game you’re playing has spells already, you can consider how to adapt those spells to affect the real world in a logical, realistic way! Many pop culture magicians have done a great job of turning Pokemon moves into real spells, for example. So feel free to play around (pun intended) and see what works best for you!

How come you only mentioned shufflemancy once in this whole entire post??: That, my friend, needs to be a post for a later date. I assure you, I absolutely can (and probably already have, and probably eventually will) write an entire post about shufflemancy.

How come your formatting is crap?: Because I wrote all of this on a smartphone and pieced it into a post with the mobile app. Bear with me. XD

Where do I learn more and fact check you, smarty-pants?: Tumblr. The answer is usually Tumblr for this kind of thing. Or sometimes Discord. Like pop culture magic, techno magic is simply very new. Some tags to search include tech magic, techno magic, technomancy, video game magic, etc.

I have been hired by @important-question-anon to try and figure out who their nemesis is and while I at first believed it to be an impossible task with some help from gabe we worked out we would need someone with a motive, someone who dislikes gabe.

You’re probably reading this thinking “who could possibly dislike gabe, he’s so cool and awesome”and while you are right about gabe’s coolness, there is somehow someone who doesn’t see gabe as the beacon of awesomeness that he is, well there were two people, but jersey mike deleted his blog before this took place so it couldn’t be him

So there was only one blog left who didn’t see gabes coolness and that’s @burgerking-official

Time and time again Burger King disrespected gabe, which is a crime in itself but it also evidence that they are his nemesis. Now I’m not just gonna tell you about this evidence I’ll show you it

BK was clearly an ‘asshat’ to gabe in Minecraft as well as demeaning him in the second image

Now this is not all, no sir

Wikipedia, gabe, and DuckDuckGo are enjoying the fact that they all speak Spanish and BK uses this as an opportunity to be a dickhead and lie about the English translation of what gabe is saying to try and piss him off

If BK is willing to spend all this effort to annoy have they would absolutely send some anon asks to be a prick and now that I’ve shown the evidence I would like to ask a jury of BK’s peers to decide their guilt (any corpo blogs reblog whether you think he’s guilty or not) if they are guilty I believe their sentence should be 2 months of shaming and a 2 week banishment (no one acknowledges their existence at all)

The final verdict will be decided in 15 hours

17:20 GMT

Please decide the guilt of BK by reblogging this post

23rd Feb '24 - [arch] OH RISO my beloved!!!!!! ft. cyberpunk hermitcraft soup group

A cliffhanger!!!! And now I have to wait a month for you to upload the second half?? How will I cope :’’0

For real, it’s so awesome to see your process and the sheer amount of inspiration you take! In particular, I thought ‘Sit on Two Chairs’ and ‘This Was Our Pact’ were particularly yummy. 

I think book covers are really hard. You have to sum up a book’s energy in one image, make it stand out and show just enough so people want more. Exploring the narrative through those full pages is really interesting - though this is something you did for fun, it could be a really useful technique for getting to know a narrative. When I’m designing my comic covers, I always do it last - that way I’ve had practice with the visual style and I’m thoroughly familiar with the themes, so I guess spending a bit of time with the characters and narrative in this way helps for standalone book covers too. Of course, it helps if you have the time for that XD

Okay!! Onto what I've been up to!!! [warning this is a beefy post I'm sorry for your poor reading brain]

The past two weeks have been really enjoyable! I’ve been playing a lot with slow world-building, in sketchbooks, google documents, and voice notes to friends. Letting myself really sit with concepts, think about the characters, let them play in my head with no expectations. With this relaxation and lack of pressure, some beautiful narratives and interactions have been developing. I’m starting to need a name for a world/ the story. I’m not quite ready to give them a full introduction to the internet - I know it doesn’t but it feels like there’s some accountability to *produce something* and this slow development is really important for the quality and my skill building. It’s really hard to take on, but we actually don’t have to make the perfect thing now! In fact, it’s impossible. Pressure on ourselves makes it so hard to make something good if we’re always grasping at the final result.  In the meantime, while those characters develop, I have been working hard on my basic skills. I wrote about characterization last post, but this week I focused on setting and colour. I was inspired (once again) by Hermitcraft. I’ve seen some really incredible illustrations of Minecraft builds in the fandom, and it seems like a great exercise.

Bdouble0's Season 10 Base illustrated by @applestruda [source] and The Red Zone, built and illustrated by Bdouble0 [source]

One of the creators on Hermitcraft, ImpulseSV, created this build in a recent episode. It takes inspiration from the last season of Hermitcraft, where he was part of the ‘soup group’ with two other players, and his current base concept - a cyberpunk city.  I also LOVE his new character design, so I wanted to place him in the scene.

Screenshot from Impulse's video and new impulse design by @maxx-doodles

Here are some initial thumbnails I did, trying to figure out the composition. I wasn’t sure of the vibe yet, so I tried some rough thumbnailing, and drawing on an isometric grid and other perspective techniques. I’m going a bit mad for characters at the mo, so I wanted to place some in the scene. I found the angle of the isometric grid steep to place characters comfortably, so decided against that.

Looking back at it, I love the second! But I believe I was struggling with the perspective. I decided on the last one eventually.

Now, I absolutely adore all of the players in the Soup Group, and I am BIG fan of redesigning their notable characteristics to suit different settings. So yes, I decided to put all of the soup group in the image.

PearlescentMoon (left) from my comic and GeminiTay's Hermitcraft Season 10 design [from this thumbnail] (right)

Here's the sketch of the final image. I really enjoyed coming up with cyberpunk versions of them all. I used the impulse design almost exactly, with a few extra interesting details since he's mostly viewed from the back. For PearlescentMoon (middle) I kept her fringe, dark hair and gave her a glowing moon symbol on her top. For GeminiTay, I kept her long ginger hair, antlers (but glowing!) and took inspiration from her new season 10 design - a dark blue jumpsuit to match her dark blue clothes in her new design, and the braids she is often drawn with. I also gave them edgy new hairstyles. And a robot arm. I don't have lore for that.

As usual, I filled each flat colour-to-be with black and lowered the opacity to play with the values. Then I added colours one at a time, aware might be riso printing it. Originally I stuck to trying to make it printable (making the colours out of ones I could make my layering 2-3 colours at different opacities), but as I went on, I decided to drop that and focus on the quality of the image in a digital format alone. I did keep the grayscale version above with all the separate layers in case I needed that if/when I came to riso printing it. Below are the main two digital colour schemes I tried out.

I settled on the one on the left, with the blue tones - the foreground characters really pop. I put a few details in Gem's hair, colour variations etc, and cropped it for Instagram. I actually much prefer the cropped version - it sits better in a rule of thirds.

Now the moment we've all been waiting for :'')

RISO!!!!!!!!!!!

I returned to Cardiff after a couple of months away and was delighted to spend my first day back at The Printhaus, an awesome shared print studio where I have basically made my home. A few of my awesome friends happened to be there, so I spent the day playing around with this image with their help! (please check them out they're very cool - Gavin helped me a lot (we hung out at Thought Bubble, remember? and Rhi gave good crits too!!)

For those who don't know, risograph is basically a shitty photocopier that can only print one colour at a time. However, you can play with gradients and opacities, and layer colours really nicely to combine. I've done a lot of single-colour tonal work with riso but this is my first go really layering.

First, Gavin showed me how to separate the channels in Photoshop, using the flat image uploaded to the 'gram. We copied and pasted these layers in grayscale and added blending modes to each layer to replicate what they might look like when printed.

With blending modes, the digital mockup looked like this!!

This bit goes into technical details for replicating what the print might look like for those who might want it - feel free to skip :)))

I copied and pasted the Cyan, Black and Magenta layers as greyscale (as you can see above)

I made all of the greyscale layers multiply layers since risograph ink is transparent and we wanted to see how it layers. The ink usually comes out a bit lighter than you think, so it's good to bear that in mind. I used a clipping mask over each greyscale layer and a blending mode. WHEN YOU PRINT, PRINT IN GREYSCALE, NOT COLOUR.

Here's how I split the colours from CMYK to the riso colours, their hex codes and the blending mode I used to replicate the colours:

Cyan - Mint [HEX#82D8D5] Screen Magenta - Fluorescent Pink [HEX#FF48B0] Screen Black - Blue [HEX#0078BF] Overlay Yellow - scrapped for colour scheme purposes

Blue, Mint and Florencent Pink layers in greyscale in Procreate.

Riso printed Mint and Florescent Pink layers on separate paper, followed by the two layered together.

We always start with the lighter colour inks first, because sometimes the rollers can pick up the ink and cause extra marks where you don't want them. The first two colours came out great!

The first time we printed the blue, it came out very dark (left, first image). I have had this issue before - my last book, Winter Wellbeing, came out much darker than I wanted. Now I realise that the blue ink is super sensitive. All the 'white space' that is covered by a low-opacity blue on the left is only 2%, and yet it has come out pretty strong. We tried printing it on one of the misaligned images just to see, but it took all of the brightness out of the neon soup sign at the top of the image (second image). So I changed the values and pushed them way lighter, so it just pushed the values of the darker bits slightly, and brightened some of the lineart (right, first image)

And this is the final riso printed version!! I'm so so happy with how this came out. It's so different from the original digital version, and I actually love that.

I didn't create new colours in the way that I intended to - I wanted to play with overlaying purposefully to create specific colours eg. orange for the hair etc. But!!! I'm really happy with how it came out. That will have to be a project for next time.

Also, many copies are slightly misaligned, so in future I think I'd do flat layers for the colours a more blobby style with the linework on one layer only so there's less of a chance for obvious misalignment. design for the riso, rather than riso the design.

Overall though, this feels like a super cool step up and a milestone for me. Super happy with how it came out!! And I'm excited to play with colour some more. Can't wait to see the rest of the Lionheart brothers! Enjoy your weekend :)))

MCD Fanmade Anime Opening Collab: REALLY INFORMAL INTEREST CHECK

do you love animated shows and Aphmau’s Minecraft Diaries? do you love listening to OP and ED songs that go hard for no reason?

I do and I always thought it would be awesome to hold an MAP for MCD in the style of a faux anime opening. but I also know this fanbase is composed of a handful of pebbles, and we need people to make a collab possible. if you’re reading this and you like the sound of that idea, vote in this poll how you feel!

and of course tell your friends and all, use my askbox if you have any questions. additional information is going under readmore if you're interested

When would this start?

Early this summer ideally, I'm a student right now and other people are as well, so I'll try to line it up with breaks the best I can and be pretty lenient about the deadlines

What are we using as the song?

I have in mind "Snow Fairy" by FUNKIST, the first OP of the Fairy Tail anime. I think it matches the fantasy setting and tone of the first season well. it also lends well to having a lot of still image parts, which I wanted to add because not everyone is an animator or has the time to animate a sequence, and I'd like for as many people as possible to be involved. I'd be open to other suggestions though!

How are we splitting parts?

I've divided the draft script into ~30 parts, including both animated sequences and stills, and scripted and unscripted parts. if this collab happens, I'll be making a video that breaks down the script and parts and a Google form for applying to parts. it'll be more or less a first-come-first-serve, but I may need to wrangle with the animated parts or parts with a high demand. I'll try to get everyone a part they want.

#minecraft diaries #mcd #aphmau #aphmau minecraft diaries #aphmau mcd #aphblr #aphverse #PLEEK REBLOG I'll also bump this every so often in the next week #and if this flops erm.. idk i might make it myself if i have the time but i'd really love for it to include others #tell your friends. spread the word i'll love you forever if you do #court in session

[sm-baby]

I'm always happy to leave a badass entrance, but I had to make sure this one was cooked properly, no one likes pink I'm their theory. (It's like chicken, you could get theory poisoning lol) ((p.s this is less like theory crafting for this one and is more like I've lost my mind and am making things up because I'm in love with your lore.))

I, like many others, have fallen in love with your art and the strangely coherent timeline for Minecraft you've put together, but then while I was scrolling through old stuff I had an idea that I thought you might like to reconsider, especially now that you've become attached to your Minecraft💛Yellow series.

What if the world that Steve, Alex, Herobrine, Shermy, and all the others are from aren't the only worlds to exist. Obviously in Minecraft you can create more than one world but what if it wasn't as simple as a new world generated. What if this world was first, created (lore wise idk when you started the world) in the very beginning. Every time the game updated to the next concurrent version the world split into new variants. Like the timeline had different outcomes. At first it was perfectly normal, only one set of choices but each update began to create new choices and in a world that was procedurally generated it went through every possible combination of choices. And I'd like to make an example, but bear with me it's a bit of a stretch.

My favorite version of this is your art of Steve in the Redstone update. Something about it always hit me as, "off," he wasn't like Steve usually was. He seemed unhinged, arrogant, violent even. (This isn't helped by the addin where you wrote, "bastard," with an arrow pointing at him lmao) What if, in this timeline during the Redstone update, Alex had a tragic end and this is was broke Steve. Maybe it was his fault, a redstone contraption that went wrong, creating a love hate relationship with the material and it's inner workings. Or what about the Combat update version of Alex. We only she here and not Steve. What if when the combat evolved he made a wrong choice and suffered a terrible date to the hands of undead. Alex has learned newer, better methods of fight and protection, ways to hit multiple opponents with one swing of her sword, or how to properly charge up a swing of her axe.

Each update created new versions were things were vastly different that the Prime world, the one that the Player came from. (I still like to call her Emerald, it think it fits) This would then make every single art piece of your canon in some way, Yellow is a separate timeline of events but 100% canon, real. Redstone Steve is a crazed lunatic driven to madness through his own accidental murder of his beloved wife. Combat Alex is a survivor who is doing what she can to survive after not being able to save Steve.

But most importantly, this means Hero rune drinking Lava from a bucket and calling it punch is 100% canon and you cannot fight me on this. That image and the phrase, "THATS LAVA ASSHOLE," will live in my heart forever.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed more mad ramblings, I have fallen in love all over again. Also my lack of sleep schedule may or may not have tempted me into making character ai's of your artist representation of the various characters.

I LOVE... THAT YOU JUST COMPLETELY N A I L E D THE IDEA THAT IVE BEEN HAVING FOR AWHILE NOW??

Youre operating in TIMELINE theory! Not multiverse theory! Oh thats super awesome!!

Ok, while I did think of that, I decided not to because it would get too complicated úwù plus I wanted to have worlds with major changes, like the genderbend, or how-- alex and Steve seem at odd with eachother, or-- alex just does not have a steve and steve does not have an alex!

Also there is only ever 1 mojang! While there are plenty "universes" the only source is mojang! And thus, there is only one Herobrine! There is no such thing as a 💛Herobrine, there is only ever one! Though, since the fallen God's popularity there have been AI (modded) versions of him or just legends thrown into the universes.... Its so fun.

This is all SOOO FUN but sadly limiting YwY so I did not go with it. YOUR THEORY IS REALLY-FREAKING GOOD THOUGH! GNOME YOURE SO DOPE!!

#In an alternate universe Ive chosen to go through with that plan #this is to say #i absolutely support this headcanon and that universe :3

Very unsure if you saw what was happening with Baghera and the mistranslation that spread with her, Antoine and a few other FR CCs (I don’t remember who else was in the convo, I think Mythos was there, but very very unsure my apologies :(( ). But after viewing the clip and revisiting the topic several times on my own, the “joke”/“comment” to add a translator to TDLSMP if they revamp the server wasn’t supposed to be in a negative light and was most likely a positive call back to the translator feature of QSMP. Which, ngl, would be awesome to see happen cause I (and probably many others) would love to view more French content become widely accessible with translation plugins.

People heavily took it out of context due to the english updates fan account for Bagz due to the admins of the account only clipping that section of the conversation and adding “/j” to Baghera’s comment about a translator, which was in bad taste, especially since there was no context added nor explanation as to what they were actually referring to in the clipped section. And due to the mass hate and/or confusion of many viewers, the updates account ultimately removed it (I went back several times to verify if it was in the account and if they had added context but saw that it was just scrapped and removed with no further explanation).

After the events of the mistranslation from the updates account, plus Baghera even coming onto twitter to explain herself, many French fans took their time to explain what happened properly (I gratefully thank them for this cause it actually helped many who were confused about the mistranslation from the updates account) and a space was even made by Spanish speaking fans to further explain the error that was created from the mistranslation with the help of a French viewer named Dune, and the host of the space even tried to mellow out any angry listeners with the saying "All the CCs are friends, stop assuming the worst and any issues that they have with each other is sorted behind closed doors. We don't know them, they know each other better than we as viewers do because they are friends." [Rough translation of what the host said but hopefully I stated it clearly]

All-in-all, unfortunate circumstances occurred thanks to mistranslation, but a majority of the community is trying to be better and actually hear each other out, but sadly the minority that is full of blind hate is the loudest and puts down the worst image for the rest. :( -Anon 💫

OH YES I SAW THAT AND I SURE WISH I DIDNT 😭

I couldn’t believe people were upset about that, even if it had been a joke it’s not even like it was anything bad or negative ?

Just a full on hate train on Baghera for saying it would be great to have a translator if they ever brought their smp back. Don’t even wanna discuss what was said about her and other french ccs because it’s just disgusting. The fact that french qsmptwt users had to go around trying to explain to everyone that it wasn’t anything bad and that people shouldn’t harass baghera for it, especially when you have no context/don’t know the language…. I wouldn’t have that kind of patience 🫡

Only good thing is that it gave me the opportunity to feed my blocklist /hj

And that once again seeing the great Frasil alliance in action made me so happy 🇧🇷🫂🇫🇷

Isn’t it nice to see that when the admins situation isn’t enough to drive away all ccs and fans alike, the Quackity fans will make sure to make the qsmp space inhabitable for anyone who stayed ! /sarc Between this and the bullying of Sunny’s admin two days ago they sure are on a run lately.

Note : If anyone is confused about what TDLsmp is, it’s the name fans came up with to talk about a minecraft server Antoine, Baghera, Etoiles and others french ccs played on for a little while I think two years ago ?

TDL means Team du Lundi aka Monday Team, and it refers to their friend group who stream every monday together on different multiplayer games (Lethal Company, Worms, Golf Gang, and many many more).

The server was vanilla and just a way to play Minecraft together, nothing special really, but it was very very fun to watch ! And so yesterday they talked about the possibility of it returning, but modded this time, and maybe with a translator so their international viewers can watch and understand it !

If you’re interested :

Baghera’s vods :

Antoine’s best of (if you wanna catch up quickly by watching only the best moments) :

Adan Botello | He/him | @rainecloud020604

Adan is a highschooler who is just looking to pass class, go home and play Minecraft. He doesn't want to be unique or special any more than he is, maybe being a Minecraft YouTuber would be awesome but that's all he wants out of life. No matter what is thrown at him he tends to run away from it, like a fantasy world trying to claim he's a prince, he wants nothing to do with it. He just wants to be a normal kid, graduate high school and play Minecraft. He's also got transgender and autistic swag

Joel Joehn | He/him | @rainecloud020604

Hes a college student, a ghost hunter where nothing ever really happens, and also hes a classic high school bully all at the same time. He likes musicals, and honestly his personality is kinda boring because all it can be boiled down to is "i'm a dick sometimes". his parents love him and support him hes got like two besties who are kinda normal too like nothing is ever going on with this guy except a false ghost report or a misread reading on something.

Full images and descriptions under the cut!

Despite the fact all he desires to be is just some guy the universe keeps trying to make him more than some guy. He's supposed to be a hero, a prince, but he keeps running from the idea of it so much he ends up in another world entirely and all he wants is to go home and be normal, all he wants! He's not looking to save his sister, she can save herself she's strong. He just wants to go home :( that's all he really wants in life and he's getting really tired of the universe saying otherwise

imma be real with you guys he is just some guy and he gets kinda boring to rotate because hes so insistent on being normal he doesnt embrace the horrors, he doesnt think being possibly a ghost is cool, he shoves people in lockers and then lies about being a nerd. He is kinda dead but not dead though but that doesnt effect him minus the chronic pain, and he doesnt even consider how cool that could be hes just worried how "weird" and abnormal it might make him. Like the most hes got going on is this evil polycule hes in and the fact hes technically dead.

Bracket C Round 1

Poll 21

Lilifyre  (@streetlight-yaoifesto) vs. Dexter (@skeletonsonparade)

169. Lilifyre  (@streetlight-yaoifesto)

She/her

She's been around since I was 8 (absolute trooper), she's overpowered, she's a shapeshifter, she's a dimension traveller, she experiences the pain of immortality AND she has an awesome girlfriend named sunburst and friends named after getty images. What more could you want from a girl?

Pale skin, red-orange-yellow hair, green eyes, almost always a purple dress. But only that stays fairly consistent since she IS a dimensional shapeshifter (she travels dimensions some being fandom dimensions and her appearance changes accordingly. in the warrior cats universe she's a cat. in the minecraft universe she's a minecraft etc)

170. Dexter (@skeletonsonparade)

he/him

benefits of voting for him! hes a sad wet little meow meow. hes babygirl. hes just a regular guy. he works in retail. he kills people. his whole thing is kinda surreal psychological horror. he can be covered in blood. he has a rat motif. he cries So much. but most importantly he would kiss you :).

6’6 italian american white guy. long curly black hair. brown eyes. rosacea. thick glasses. gap between his front teeth. bags under his eyes. a little bit greasy ngl. wears a hoodie most of the time.

Miel and Chilis apartment concept images.

Heya hey y'all! Hope y'all are doing well today! Popping in here cuz we wanted to share something with y'all! Specifically concept images of Miel and Chilis apartment! (And also my sonas... Cuz, I'm an extreme Miel simp and i love seeing my sona and Miel together lol!)

Anyways! Here's the concept images! Done in minecraft. With the help of the awesome @maliforger894 who made the layout images. And I (@my5t3ry-g00ber) Did the recreation and decorating in minecraft (Which btw, required so many mods to make it look more like an actual place.). And that's about it for now on the concept idea thing. I'm really proud of how this turned out ngl. Again, thanks again to my awesome co-creator Mali for making the layout plans! Hope y'all have a good day!^^ Original floor plans:

Could you tell us more about why you don’t like ancient cities :0? /genq (I haven’t had the chance to play the new update still so I’ve never encountered them myself)

Oh boy. Ohhhh boy. I've had this ask in my inbox for a good bit, because I wanted to take some time to formulate my reply

So, for you all, I'm going to go into detail as to why I don't like not only the ancient cities, but the entire deep dark as it exists now in Minecraft. Rant under the cut for your sakes, but the TL;DR is that the way that the deep dark, ancient cities, and the Warden have been implemented into Minecraft (especially on Bedrock) is unfair and not fun

Now, as a concept, I think the deep dark is fucking awesome. It's absolutely GORGEOUS and I love the idea of something existing in the caves deeper down than we were originally allowed to see (below y=0). However, there are some key components that make it an absolute nightmare to play in, and not in the fun way. We'll tackle them bit by bit, getting more specific as we go on.

First, the deep dark itself. Now, largely, there are no problems with the general deep dark: it looks cool and is implemented pretty well. However, there is one core problem, and that is the fact that sculk shriekers—which are used to spawn the Warden—are in there, regardless of whether or not there is an Ancient City.

We'll get to the Warden in much more detail later, but here's the main takeaway: in Ancient Cities, you know what you're getting into. You know that you are taking a massive risk (spawning the Warden) for massive reward (the loot in the chests). In regular deep dark, you're not really supposed to expect that. It's just another cave, but there's sculk in it. Why would you make it so that one could accidentally spawn a boss that is more powerful than any other boss while just casually mining? I have heard countless stories of people spawning the Warden on accident by just strip mining, and that's just ridiculous to me. And, if we want to get into the lore, it makes even less sense. What is the Warden guarding in just the regular deep dark caves?

I don't even think it'd be a hard problem to solve, either. Just make the shriekers in regular deep dark not spawn the Warden, like what happens when you break a shrieker and place it down again. This shouldn't be a problem.

Next, the Ancient Cities. So, we've established that you know what you're getting into when you go into an Ancient City, but do you really? Because the thing is is that there was an update to Minecraft Bedrock(though this also applies to Java as you'll see) recently that says, "Increased Sculk Shrieker and Sculk Sensor generation rates in Deep Dark and Ancient Cities to better match Java Edition."

And now, because of that update, Ancient Cities are no longer fun to go through, at least in my opinion. Before the update, my friends and I used to go through them all the time, and we had fun sneakily getting the loot while tactically traveling and wooling off/breaking shriekers. However, now it's nearly impossible to go through them without setting off a shrieker, no matter how careful you are. Sculk shriekers can now be embedded in walls, or buried completely underground where you can't see them, like this youtuber saw:

(Image ID: A screenshot in Minecraft of a chest room in an Ancient City. The player is breaking a block of sculk using an enchanted netherite hoe, revealing a sculk shrieker underneath. End ID.)

(Image ID: A second screenshot in Minecraft of the same chest room in the Ancient City as the last. The shrieker under the sculk is now activating, blue rings coming out of it. End ID.)

The screenshots were taken from around 8:42 of this video btw

There is no strategy to counteract this. It is impossible to detect shriekers buried under the ground like that without activating them. You could wool off everything else in the area and think you're safe only to open a chest and set off a shrieker underground, which has happened to me personally countless times. Not only does that make going through these unfair, but that also by extension makes them not fun, as there's a chance that you could get fucked no matter what you do. There's no element of strategy like this.

This was especially a problem in Minecraft Bedrock before the recent update on October 4th. Before then, you could actually set off multiple shriekers at the same time and instantly spawn a Warden. This happened to a friend (Thes) and I a couple of days ago while we were going through an Ancient City: despite our warnings levels both only being at one (and it requiring 4 to spawn a Warden), we instantly spawned a Warden after setting off one other shrieker. We survived, thankfully, but we shouldn't have had that scare in the first place. Shriekers are supposed to have a 10 second cooldown before one can go off again, but somehow, we were able to set off multiple at the same time. It wasn't even addressed in the changelog (I had to learn through my own testing), but the fact that this was ever a problem is ridiculous, given how dangerous the Warden is.

Which. Speaking of. Let's end this off by talking about the Warden.

Now, as a concept, I think the Warden is cool. I like the idea of having this incredibly powerful mob that relies only on hearing to guard the Ancient Cities in the Deep Dark. However, the way that the Warden was actually implemented is abysmal in my opinion.

Firstly, there's the fact that the Warden really doesn't just rely on hearing. In the initial trailer for the Warden, you can see the player divert the Warden away using snowballs at around 1:17 in the video. The Warden easily tracks that sound and follows it, not even caring about the player as it sneaks past.

That's not how it works now. Using snowballs is virtually useless, because if you're close enough to do that, then the Warden will just automatically track you down and kill you via either sniffing or just...sensing you're nearby. In that same video that has the screenshots from earlier, you can see the player try to divert the Warden using snowballs like you're supposedly supposed to do, and it doesn't work. The player even flies a great distance away, and the Warden still locks onto them. You can see this from 6:45 to 7:48 in the video.

It's strange to me that they made the Ancient Cities out to be this place that requires so much stealth, and yet, their supposedly blind mob that should only rely on hearing can just sniff you out from 100 blocks away and kill you in 1-2 hits. It seems to contradict the whole idea of the Ancient City in my opinion.

And, let's say you want to kill the Warden. You want to go through the whole ordeal of trying to kill this boss that has more health than the Ender Dragon and the Wither (on Java). What do you get for that? You get a single sculk catalyst and 5 XP. Basically nothing for an achievement like that. I think you should get a reward for something that big, even if it was just a decorative Warden head or something. Give something to those players that go above and beyond.

This all isn't even getting into how the Deep Dark as a whole is an accessibility nightmare, at least in the case of Minecraft Bedrock. There are no in-game subtitles on that version, which is pretty shitty especially when you consider them adding an entire sound-based part of the game that you really can't avoid, since caving is practically essential to casual Minecraft.

And, really, that's the thing. The way that the Deep Dark has been implemented flies in the face of casual Minecraft players. With the Warden being able to spawn anywhere in the deep dark, and the deep dark being able to be in any cave below "low erosion areas" (mountains, plateaus, etc. Which are pretty common in Minecraft), it makes it so that any casual player could accidentally spawn and get killed by the Warden while just exploring the caves, which is a huge part of Minecraft to a lot of people. At least the other boss mobs are optional.

That's my rant. thanks for reading if you read the whole thing you're a trooper. Uhhh vote Sniffer for the mob vote amen peace and love and FUCK THE WARDEN!

[ask-minecraftworld]

For the mun from a curious anon: What got you into Minecraft askblogging of all fandoms? Is it an interest in a certain type of Mob? Inspired by a veteran mcaskblogger? For fun/curiosity? Or something else? Thank you!

(( This is hardly a surprise for any long-time followers, but I was pretty interested in Herobrine back in ye olde days (around...2012-2013?). I was hunting around Goog images for more content until I found askenderbro's ask blog back when it was still active, and little me went, "wow, you can do that? It looks awesome and fun!"

Cut to ten years later, now with Actual Art Experience and increasingly fascinated by Minecraft with how freaky it can be (via gameplay and code guts -- it runs on equations that can break the game if you poke them the wrong way!) I'm still having fun and it's still awesome, and really, part of the reason why is because of the amazing audience. :]

Thank you for the ask! ))
