tbh i just dont want the dsmp to be remembered in infamy for being just a server who had criminals on there. it was so much more than just a minecraft server to me, and if it means that im the only dsmp fan lying around, so be it. i like the lore. i LOVE the characters.

i dont care if some of the cc's are assholes/just vile people, im fully separating the characters from em, because, y'know what? the characters aren't the cc's, they're fictional.

i think im gonna plan a lil project, yknow, just to send a "farewell", well, not for me, im still gonna be here lmao, but to the people who're leaving/left the fandom permanently.

to make the memory of the server not tainted by whoever was exposed for doing something vile, to make the memory of the server alive.

it's to make it less bittersweet, and more happy. im happy you were here, im happy you had those memories here. don't be sad or frustrated because it's over or some shitty cc's, be happy because it happened at all. be happy for all the experiences you had in this community.

that server was purely driven by fanworks, you made that server happen, you were apart of its success, you made that little song a whole symphony. and i wish you well on your future :)

-

also, kindly fuck off if you'd like to hate on dsmp or mcyt in general because of creeps, this server wasn't only here because of them, it was the fanbase, the songs, the animations, the art, the fanfiction.

there was a story here, tons of lore throughout hundreds of hours of livestreams on twitch. a story about war, about broken friendships, about nations falling them rising back up and then falling again, about a man wanting control, about a child soldier, about an anarchist, about so, so many things.

so many former fans that have a superiority complex where they deem themselves "better" than people who left later or are still here just because they left. you arent better than any of them, you need to learn that. you just left earlier, you cant just call yourself better than any of them.

im so sick of hearing those fucking jokes with minecraft or dsmp youtubers as the punchline, this is why so many dsmp cc's distance themselves from it. not every minecraft youtuber is a terrible person, what about grian? what about tommy? what about joel? what about scar? what about lizzie? what about tubbo? are they all just bad people apparently because they're minecraft youtubers and/or associated with the dsmp or other servers? no, they arent.

have a more open mind.

WS supporters and dream team stans also kindly go fuck off (support victims btw). i support shelby, alice, niki, lexie, caiti, andi, and freddie, get out of my page, this isnt a safe space for you. get off, go on.

-

just be happy you were here in this beautiful community to begin with :D

anyway, on a lighter note

here's a lil info about my lil project: everyones gonna have new designs / outfits for it !! :D / its an animatic thing lol

(im a lil excited abt it buttt im keeping it under wraps lol)

have a wonderful day :)

New from RECAP Weekly!!! An Exclusive Interview from Hermitopia's Emperor?!?

for the third week of @shepscapades ’s hermitcraft character design event, i offer grian as an empires smp member!

ok so first off, that head. thats just p03 from inscryption. but grian. it fits! but also! go play inscryption go go its on sale Right Now (until june 30) go play it its so good then go watch this video afterwards join my fandom please please please join us

ok back to hermpires! so i originally was gonna take an empire from s2 and just insert grian into it, but while browsing through the esmp s2 wiki i came across/remembered hermitopia and my brain went yep! this one. so i thought a bit about what grian would do if he was an empires smp member and how hermitopia would happen, and i think grian would crash the economy on purpose. i mean it almost already happened when the hermitpires crossover happened so i dont think im too far off. i think grian originally exported something simple, like maybe sugarcanes or mud, something easy to farm yknow, but then i dunno got bored or something so he made a couple more farms. then kept making more farms. then the hermitopia we all know and love happened!

actually maybe hermitopia isnt grians first empire. i think grian has a separate empire but decided to invite his friends to help him make some farms and then it just kept going. then hermitopia happened. i like the collaboration aspect of hermitopia so i think thats how that happens. hermitopia isnt necessarily grian's but its under his command so it gets called his. (isnt there a word for this? was it vassalage? i think its vassalage)

with that in mind i went with a robot-y grian because grumbot and a snazzy cool suit because business man (sidenote im looking over my pre art notes and one of them is just capitalism man and. yeah! not wrong). i gave him more steampunk-y wings than the usual feathery ones cause that fit better. i gave him a crown not really sure why but it fits since without it the design was more Just A Guy but with it he's more Emperor yknow. the buttons have a g on it because he would and an (attempted) gold trim cause that looked nice and fancy. originally he was gonna have four wings cause fun fact four wings is part of my base grian design but four wings kind of crowded the drawing so i didnt include them (sad) and i also didnt include the tail hes supposed to have because i couldnt find a good way to add it in with the pose. but in my heart he has both four wings and a tail

now why magazine style artwork? i 'unno. i thought itd look cool. and it does!! it looks SO cool!!! im so proud of it. recap magazine!! because of course im gonna make a hermitcraft recap reference are you kidding me recap is practically already a magazine reporting what gossip is happening on the hermitcraft server on any given week. its very specifically volume 9 issue 34 because thats when the crossover happened season 9 week 34 babey we love little esoteric details hell yeah!! i looked up how magazine covers work and its supposed to be like, main article big and smaller supporting side articles just kinda floating around so i did that!! and i made them funney references because of course i did! local bard catches scurvy because you cannot convince me that oli orionsound would not catch scurvy he would. does god is gay is a reference to that does bruno mars is gay nonsense article that makes me laugh everytime specifically in reference about mr smallish bean because he. has so many children. and none of them as far as i know from the lady server members theyre all lovechilds from gay lovers its hysterical and hilarious. quit your job join our sun cult is about the dawn empire because thatse the vibe that empire gives me and i think its funny. also!! thats hermitopia!! in the background!! i got the image off of the empires smp wiki and just Biggen'd it and it makes a bomb ass background hell yeah ^-^!!

also version with no text here lookit it!!

Just saw your pinned post and I am begging you I need more. I am a sucker for magical warrior (my gender neutral term for magical girl) AU's. And seeing as the warriors will be hotguy and cuteguy is making me just Squeal with excitement/joy. Now for some questions.

1) Are Grian and Scar's Warrior names actually cuteguy and hotguy because that would be awesome.

2) Can I expect the stereotypical, hotguy, and cuteguy looks for their magical armor/outfit

3) What are their weapons and magical abilities (exa. Can grian summon wings to fly. Is Scars weapon a boy and dose he get unlimited arrows.

4) You know, those like mini bosses. The ones who are in charge of collecting bad energy or whatever in magical warrior shows the. ones who make the things the warriors fight. Is Pearl and those other two whom I don't remember the name of going to become such people.

im glad people like it! that makes me very happy :D I have a google doc with the story planned out, hopefully I can get around to finishing it. here are your answers :

I haven't thought abt giving them magical names, but scar does scream hotguy when he shoots his bow (like a fancy finisher move)

since I cant stick to one design, I am considering a new design per chapter sort of deal. most likely each design will be a ref to something else

my current idea is that their powers change along with their outfits, but the one constant is scar has long range weapons and grian has short range weapons (an excuse to potentially give scar a gun and grian boxing gloves, I just think thats funny)

just pearl is spreading the corruption (muahahhahaha), everyone else around her is too head empty to realize something is up with her not-a-dog

#Tilly the god au #ig im just going to use that tag from now on?

all of the character designs for your zombie au are so so pretty! like ough I'll have whatever gender juice they're having thanks :D

especially love your impulse, cleo, and grian! Impulse is so very shape and all his piercings! it's my new favourite thing ^-^ cleos hair is so cool, and im not sure what exactly it is about your grian but wow he sure is a guy :DD maybe it's the way he's so desperate for someone other than scar to hang out with /j

anyways, love your art, hope you have a good day!

Hey I'm so glad you like them!!! Hope you're having a great day as well! (Thanks for taking the time to inbox me and let me know you like my stuff ^_^)

Impulse's piercings make him a delight to draw. I just love characters with piercings and tattoos. Here's a little drawing of him and Etho working in the greenhouse together I've been neglecting to color.

(They definitely could have used the ladder visible in prior pages but I honestly just wanted to draw Etho on Impulse's shoulder.)

hi again. i did end up posting some of my art but idk if there's a way to link it in the ask (kinda new to tumblr lol), so im just gonna trust that you know how to find it. Anyways, I have more questions for you :)

jumping into the deep end w/ traveling thieves:

is there any way to remove a collar without the owner's permission? Could a non-collared person do it? Are they physically destructible? What happens if the owner dies? Basically anything that could free Jimmy and Scott T-T

Can any nether-born wield fire, or just blaze-borns? bc hypothetically, we could get some team ZIT going if impulse is a nether-born (he's normally head cannoned as a demon, but I like the idea of wither skeleton instead for this au, if you don't already have plans for him). he could join Zed and Tango :)))

how does the siren song work? can you get anyone to do anything with it if you were good enough? considering song is in the name, is it more effective if it's more melodic?

how do the rune trigger thingies work? Does the staff need to be continuously touching the person to trigger the collar, or does it have a time limit, or is it a secret third option? (this is for a lil piece i've written that I may or may not post lol)

That's it for now, although I do want to say that it would be adorable if Katherine got Shelby a sun-lamp so she could grow over-city plants down there :3

actually that's not it. it'd be fun if you wrote a piece where Grian helps Mumbo and Scar pull a (not so ethical) job. just an idea :)

ok goodbye

Hello hello!

I found the art! I reblogged the art! I LOVE THE ART!

I said it in my reblog but again here they are SO PRETTY I love Cute Guy his wings are beautiful and his shoes are so KILLER and then the SWAGON from Traveling Thieves! It's even got Grian's lil bay window! It makes me so happy! I will treasure them, thank you so much for sharing!

Questions questions! 🏃‍♀️

Short answer: No. Long Answer: Not any way that Scott or Jimmy currently have access too. If their current owner dies the contract has a clause that will automatically transfer them to whoever said owner designated as the inheritor, this being a built in safety measure to ensure enslaved hybrids don't try to one-hit kill their masters before a punishment can kick in to go free. They are technically physically destructible but any attempt at cutting them or unlatching them will trigger the punishment runes. And they are very tough, reinforced by the magic in the runes, again to ensure this isn't attempted, so it would be far to painful to attempt to just endure the punishment long enough to cut them off. This doesn't mean it's completely impossible for them to get them off without their current masters permission...but we haven't gotten to that yet. 😉

Blaze-borns specifically can wield fire as physical parts of their body, but other nether hybrids are able to pull similar tricks such as heating up their hands to work metal, and obviously they're fireproof. Plus, considering our lovely dark fantasy AU, some of them have proficiency with fire magic! I do have plans for Impulse in Traveling Thieves! Please look forward to it!

It's basically voice-based charm magic. I may have messed this up, but I'm pretty sure I only ever refer to it as 'siren spells' and not 'siren songs'? Is there anywhere I screwed that up? Siren spells also give the user the ability to make their voice more pleasant and tend to have good singing voices anyway. If someone is extremely good with it (ex: Scott's Dad) they could 100% use it to strongly compel others, but it's not like brainwashing. Like when Scott used it, all it really did was make the ice mage suddenly care about his opinion, and that confused her enough that she hesitated on using magic. It still has to be something understandable. It wouldn't have been enough to, say, get her to fire a spell at her companion and kill him. It's more like it makes the users words much more influential in the mind of whoever is hearing it. It can also do other things, though! Like how I mention that Scott's Dad would sing for the Queen, Scott's Mom, to help her relax, that's not just because he's a beautiful singer (which of course he is) he's also using siren spells to lower her stress.

One hit triggers the punishment runes. A second hit makes them stop. Like an on-off switch! They also specifically have to get hit with the gem at the end of the rune trigger. If you do post anything anywhere please do send another ask/post it somewhere I can see, I'd absolutely love to see what you do with the AU! ☺️

Awwww...Katherine could totally get Shelby a sun-lamp, that'd be so cute! Also I totally plan on writing a piece at some point where the Swagon Trio steal something, it's a series called Traveling THIEVES and there has been a distinct lack of thievery so I need to fix that. 😤

Thanks so much for all your lovely questions, and thank you again for sharing your beautiful art! 💖

INKTOBER DAYS 30 AND 31!!

getting immediately into this- the acronyms key, past weeks posts, and rambling afterwords are under the cut!! drawings on full display today!!

Day 30

gore: undead

Day 31

wh: so below

hc: halloween

GRIANS COSPLAY OF CROWLEY!! WHO CHEERED?? 🎉

he looks oh so smug and cool, I really love this drasing of him! that face! and I took a worth while risk on the pose!!

(I have moved the next 2 paragraphs to under the cut, to make sure this isn't too long to scroll through if you only want to see the art!!)

as for the second sketch (which has two photos so you don't have hold you device upside down LOL) I had the idea of secret life grian and (SL)watcher grian! a reverse, mwahaha... I really only meant to draw the crowly one, and didnt think I had the energy for more... but brain rot!! it is so strong!!

so of course after that I finally rectified my lack of clothes design for watcher grian lol... now i have to draw a SL design too!! eventually... eventually... I didnt make a note of it, but I think he just... wouldn't wear shoes LOL... watcher grian, I mean. let those lil talon feeties free, or whatever pffft...

week one, two, three, four and 5.1s posts!!

I'll only list the prompts I used that day, but here's the key for acronyms n such;

wh = welcome home

hc = hermitcraft (I have 2!)

ink = official inktober

gore = goretober

(actual gore will be triggerwarned! so far none has any blood or violence!)

Oh boy- okay! so I swear I didn't forget, its just that art block came and smacked me in the face for a short period. Thankfully I came out of it with two drawings I really love!! And some pretty good doodles too, haha...

I do think I still want to do a weekly novelember drabble... and of course a related drawing. we'll see! check in on sunday! i wont just disappear now that inktober is over!!

Thanks again for all the support!! 💜

your most recent post is my excuse to spew a bunch of questions because i love this au (and art) so much-

how did scar meet jellie? was it "oh look a stray cat" or something else?

was scar's crutch/bow given to him by the military thing, did someone make it specifically for him, did he just buy it, or something else? (and why does it look so cool-)

how did scar get away with customizing his stuff?

what did grian used to look like?

are grian and scar closer like in third life or is it more like double life?

g-man's a wanted criminal? how did that happen- (like he's grian ofc it did, but how-)

can i ask about the other people here-?

etho's a farlander/albino enderman? what does that entail exactly? im curious- (also, is he part farlander part albino enderman, or is farlander another term for albino enderman?)

did the eyebrow notches work-

are all the double lifers in this au? are there an more pairs not from dl?

is the divorce quartet a thing here? if so, how did they survive-

which pair got zapped the least, and which pair got zapped the most? random, but i'm curious-

what did everyone do to get in the game? how did jimothy manage to do anything bad-

why are all of their designs so cool-

uh i've seen other people sign with an emoji sooo -✨

OH BOY!!! HAHAHAH this so cool!!! Thanks for being this interested in the series me and @kairamuwu are planning to run

Since we've changed plans on how we're going to tell the story!!! And working on it behind the scenes, but I'll answer all the questions I can, without giving away too much!! Hah

-Scar's crutch bow, he designed it, and got Cub (who's an old friend to Scar as well as being a high ranking member of the Vindicators) to make it for him.

-he gets away with all his customized stuff, because he's just that charming of a guy (also that he's still very new to the field so has schemed and played dumb with it all)

-Grian used to not have the wings or bird arms and legs, he always had feathers on his face and in hair as it's a feature of Glares

-this au takes elements from all sorta of series and mixed it in one, but if I would have to choose it leans more to thirdlife

-Grian used to be a bounty hunter and is wanted by pretty much all sides ....and ..you'll see

-you can ask about other characters we both kinda split the main characters between ourselves!!! for those questions I'll ask my friend to reblog and answer them for you!!

-there are characters from the life series, hermitcraft and empires!! Though they all don't have the same roles as they did in life series, there's only four pairs (and one pair wasn't in double life...kinda)

-For what everyone did to get in the games, you'll see :)

Thanks for the questions!!! I hope to get the story started soon!! So keep an eye out for that

i just realized the final god fight being the jungle fits so well with the whole fire theming actually and im very normal about this i swear (lie)

but on the topic of flames, i think you mentioned zed having a flame thrower and ive been thinking of what all flame devices everyone could have. like maybe when theyre fighting shadows and stuff, its all holy flames and giant tanked flame throwers or whatever, sure, but in reality, this is just- what kinds of novelty lighters would everyone have? some ideas inlcude:

- impulse: classic metal lighter with a dope gold i/eye design

- skizz: theres this super cool dragon head lighter/torch (you can find it under the lighters tag or specifically tagged as #lighters and posted by transparentgentlemenmarker) that i feel like he’d enjoy

- bdubs: maybe doesnt actually have a lighter. maybe just like. matches.

- tango: electric arc lighter that makes tiny lazers to burnificate things in an instant

- zed: if youve ever seen the handheld steampunk mini sonic flamethrower, its that and he made it

- pearl: i feel like she would have a shaped lighter, but im not sure what type. maybe one of the coin shaped ones

- gem: a neat little knife lighter combo

- grian: actually just a handheld blowtorch

oh these are all REALLY COOL as their respective flames. i would also like to add that zedaph starts like, his first dungeon with a lighter, but decides that is Boring, and he makes a homemade flamethrower. he can still summon his persona and he has not yet died so everyone is going with it.

and like. YEAH these all like, fit their personalities and roles really well! and i think like. yeah whenever a new party member joins impulse tries to give them a normal lighter but NO they want to light things on fire with a PERSONALITY. by the time grian joins and is like "can i use this handheld blowtorch" impulse throws up his hands and is like "if you want to blowtorch your hands every few minutes when we fight shadows so you can summon your persona then BE MY GUEST it's stupid magic anyway" and grian is like. thank you. i do in fact want to do that. and impulse is like. sigh. yeah sure okay.

it’s been a little while. but. I have more art!!

I’ve been thinking about writing a team rancher’s fanfic for a long time now and since my current writing project is almost done I figured I’d finally work on character designs!

also, here’s a grian to accompany the seablings! (next to an old drawing of him from June 2022)

i love them soooooo much like. i just spent ten minutes staring at lizzies freckles (fantastic touch im obsessed) and then got trapped for another five on the way u did the eyes (the highlights are so good. i don't have specific enough words to properly express myself but. they look so real while also fitting your style so well? love em) and then jimmy looks SO FOND and i love his messy hair its so organic like honestly that is my new favourite image ty so much for sending me it It is v cool seeing how u've grown as an artist between the two grians like. they were def drawn in around the same style by the same person but the second one feels much more confident if that makes sense? idk but i love it also very much.

I am very eyes emoji about DATH. Would you mind sharing more about it?

okay so. dusk along the horizon. it was originally a treebark au (you'll be unsurprised to hear who the werewolf was in that version of the story) that i reciently decided to turn into an oc story

the main pair of the story are a vampire named selene hazelwood (originally martyn) and a werewolf named dawn lowell (originally ren)

i went on an infodump on discord to basically any of my friends willing to listen to me so:

okay so. dawn. main character and through who we see the story from. she's a very very reciently turned werewolf who ended up joining an organization that hunts vampires out of the logic of "they're not gonna attack their own members... right??" and fear that they would be very willing to try to turn against werewolves too

the first mission she and a group gets sent to is around this fairly large town and a manor of five vampires living nearby a- not quite a city but a bigger town i guess. the hunters send out dawn to "investigate" and see if she can make herself friendly to the vampires to get them off guard (the intent was always that if she died, it wasn't that much of a big deal, since she was a fairly new recruit)

dawn meets and stays with this group of five for a bit- they immediately recognize she's not human, and hearing from the hunters, they assume she's hiding from them too- becoming quite close friends with them and particularly of selene, who im leaning towards her being one of the younger of the five? (in the original mcyt au context, this group is the evo-traffic overlap: grian, pearl, bigb, jimmy, and martyn. these vampires' names, or at least the ones i know, are nigel, pearl, beau and selene. pearl kept her name and jimmy doesn't have a name yet) and may or may not be getting a bit of a gay crush on her? also in general, she's helping her with the wolfiness, with understanding it better, since she went though the same process when she became a vampire

so. the group of hunters, hearing that the group has basically taken dawn as their own, basically tell her to keep up the charade, she's doing well. dawn, hearing this, feels like Shit and may or may not be having a crisis of loyalties because she feels like she's betraying her vampire friends (which. she very much is at that point) and leading on selene

meanwhile selene finds a silver dagger (which both vampires and werewolves are weak to) in dawn's room, looking for something else she forgot there. the dagger is carved with the symbol of the hunter organization. uh. selene might start assuming the worst because she has ✨ trauma ✨

i'll put the trauma as: the person who turned her into a vampire to begin with was a pretty awful ex and in general to be around with? and she's terrified that this means that history is repeating itself and she did fall for another person who could not care less for her

meanwhile dawn is trying to figure out how exactly to solve her little conflict of loyalties, selene may or may not come with the dagger and very pissed and genuinely thinking dawn is planning on murdering her and her loved ones- or at least help with it

selene ends up threatening dawn with the dagger, getting out of her that yes she's part of the hunters, no she genuinely doesn't want this group of people dead please put that down. so uh plot is a bit fuzzy and undefined from this point but the hunters are absoutely not coming by the end of the story in one piece <3

that's the plot more or less?

for designs, selene does have a design, unsure for dawn yet but i have picrews!

here's for dawn the picrews

yeah if you have any questions pls send more asks this brain is deciding to be very autistic about this story-

there are more thoughts around two side characters, jimmy (who still doesn't have a name, working on that) and theodore ("bdubs", one of the hunters). both of these are respectively the closest person to selene and dawn in their group

I drew a him! the scrungly scrimbo! he is Not Happy and would like you to Put Him Down Please. he promises he wont bite you. he is lying

[ID: A digital drawing of Grian, in a simplistic cartoon style. Grian depicted as a man with light skin, pink cheeks, and shoulder length dark blonde hair. He has wings attached to his back, and a tail made of feathers coming from under his sweater. Part of his hair is up in a bun, and some has fallen down to cover his left eye. He is wearing black shoes, dark gray pants, and a red sweater. His wings are colored similarly to a parrot, though not any specific species. The highest row of feathers are fluffy, and the same color as Grian’s sweater. The second and third rows are different on the outside and inside. The outer second row is the same yellowish brown as his hair, with a purple mark heavily resembling an eye at the end of each feather. The outer third row is the longest, and the feathers are dark blue-violet, though the lighting makes them appear more purple. The inner third row is the same purple as the eye markings. The inner second row is a pinkish purple. A computer curser has grabbed him by the back of his sweaters neck. His body hangs limp, and his wings drop below him, slightly curling around him, though not enough to obscure view of his body. His face is in shadow, and he glares tiredly towards the viewer. End ID]

i actually drew this a few months ago, i think back in may, but i kept forgetting to post it lol. anyway its a bit out of date from my current grian design, because i drew it back when i was headcanoning hc grian and life series grian as the same guy, whereas now i see them as two separate guys. well. sort of separate. its complicated and i cant really explain it without delving deep into all my mc and mcyt headcanons, and that would take a while

also he kind of looks like chara dreemurr from undertale lol. like in the hair and the eyes and the rosy cheeks. i suppose that makes sence, since any blorbo who rotates in my head for long enough inevitably begins to resemble chara dreemurr, including myself. i am normal about chara dreemurr from undertale.

anywya, i tried a new art style in this one and im pretty happy with how it turned out!

#grian #mcyt #hermitcraft #traffic smps #traffic series #edited to add the id i forgot #I tried to put a simple description in the alt and a detailed one below the readmore #But I’m on my iPad right now so I’m not sure it worked #if someone on desktop could check and let me know how it’s working that’d be nice #editing in march 2023 bc I FORGOT MY FUCKING ART TAG SO I HAD TO SEARCH THROUGH MY ARCHIVE MANUALLY TO FIND THIS. AAAAAAAAA #chara makes things #life series smps #aaaaaa. Ok good now. Time to reblog for trafficthrowback

Season 9 of Hermitcraft is a scifi fantasy anime

and Im gonna prove it. Really long ramble about the theme for this season and looking at it from a world building perspective. Im gonna look at s9 through the lens of it being a scripted show.

First, we must look at season 8. It was also a scifi fantasy. But focused more on scifi with the moon plot. The hermits having crashed landed on the planet and started colonizing it as their own for survival. But then tragedy struck, and they had to evacuate as the moon came crashing down. Destroying the world they had tried to make their home.

Now season 9. Those same hermits crash land on a new planet. Uniting together to survive, but soon enough all separate to start their lives.

(Also, I would like to propose my headcanon that some of the Hermits came from this planet before. That season 8 was a group from this planet that wanted to go colonize the stars. But it messed up, so now they are back home.)

As they explore the land, they discover ancient ruins and cities and come across the races of people who already inhabit the planet.

Bdubs builds represent the ancient past. Long ago was a might race that build grand structures and games. But something happened so all that remains are ruins. But! People have taken over the ruins, repurposing them, making a life in the rubble. Its low tech scrounger scifi. The people living here have to make the most of what little they have. Bdubs himself is a god who has lived here to see all of history. He once had a moon cult in his name. For he is the god of dreams, represented by moons and moss.

He believed being a god should give him a divine right to crown a king. But we saw how well that turned out.

Tango also represents the past. His dark ice castle maze looking ancient and magical. Tango did the ancient ogre cave last season as well. So Im headcanoning that his character is very old as well. Maybe not a god, but certainly an immortal with strong magic. His immortality making him bored and want to create games and prizes for people.

With Tango and many of the others, we see redstone as a sort of tech magic.

Xisuma is also ancient. A bone mage from the ancient times. Living in the skeleton of a long dead elder god. Strong in the ways of redstone tech magic. His immortality has made him want a simple life, one out of conflict and just doing things for fun. His builds are mostly tech machines, but he his tower and bones can represent the "ancient" builds.

Grian also represents the past. And time as a concept. His builds this season all showcase changes in time. Changes in building styles. He represents how the civilizations of the planet would once have lived like. The different stages of the Entity. How rift technology has affected people. His character also represents rifts in time. Not showing up all the time. But when he does its during the big impact parts of history. Matching his watcher lore. I headcanon that his Life series is a virtual reality helmet game he designs and him and his friends all play and broadcast online.

Gem represents the elves. Elves are immortal ,but she is very young. And the newly appointed Empress. Her guardian farm shows and base location show that the Elves have a strong connection and ownership to the Sea.

Scar is also an elf. A very old elf. The first true business tycoon among his people. First, he created the cookie empire. Then, the shipping empire. Elves having ownership of the ocean means he had a full monopoly of shipping trades. Making him incredibly wealthy. He traveled to s8 because he wanted to try on another planet. And did very well with his traveling salemen gig. But coming home, he decided to build a new empire. A media empire. Scarland is his new venture. Along with using his immortality to be a superhero. As his alter ego Hotman. (He also, conviently, makes money off the sales of Hotguy movies and merch.)

Impulse, of course, represents the dwarves. Who have long lived below the surface. In (somewhat) harmony with the elves. The dwarves are also masters at redstone tech magic and Impulse himself is a very successful business man. Owning what is essentially dwarven Walmart.

Pearl represents aliens. Her build is of an alien race who have at some point started colonizing the planet. Terraforming it as they go. Changing the landscape to match the planet they left behind. Pearl's character herself is an undercover agent researching the aliens. Her alter ego is a friendly trash lady. (Since Pearl is represented as moths and the moon. I headcanon she is actually part of the alien race. She just doesn't know it yet herself. She glamored herself to look human but lost her memory. She isn't just any alien, tho. She is also a goddess. But while Bdubs is the god of this planet. She is the god of another (Empires, of course).

In lore, I imagine that the Elves and Dwarves have been on edge with the aliens. And they have a shaky alliance. The aliens now having terrformed so much that they are right on each others doorsteps.

Cleo represents some Atlantean race. I dont know if it's in ruins now or still exists. She, of course, is a gorgan and, on the more fantasy side of the server.

Rendog and Doc both represent corporations who have who have come from space to colonize.

Doc with his world eater and mega farms. He is a scientist who left the Octogan corp and is now trying to kickstart his own venture. His goal is to make everything solarpunk. And besides tearing a literal whole out of the earth, try to be as eco-friendly as possible. His tomato garden being his prized joy.

Rendog has started GIGACORP. And is supposed to be starting up that base of operations. But he got distracted for a while by trying to control the economy and be king. But now that Thats over, he can focus on expanding for Gigacorp.

I imagine, in lore, that the new corps would have a hard time fitting in. People being uncomfortable with outsiders coming in and taking over so much land so quickly.

Keralis represents humans who fell from the stars. His base ties in so nicely to Bdubs. Because they both show humans scrounging for resources to stay afloat. Humans arnt from here, but they are trying to coexist best they can.

Mumbo is a human. But he's more like a man out of time. His character keeps popping in and out of reality and is very disjointed from the storyline. Its like he i did some technology and just poofed away and back on accident.

Zedaph is also human. He is the scientist from last season. Who has enough money that he can now live his life as an eccentric collector.

The end of the Rendog King arc means a new era for the world. It was one that was under unfair rule. The economy in shambles. But now that things are back to normal, life is coming back to the server.

In the form of games!

It had to be noted how impactful Beef's card game has been. So many people love it. And its really kickstarted activity again. People are collabing again!

So, in lore, Beef represents a new card game that is sweeping the world. Possibly a Yugio style one, in terms of scale and popularity, at least. Turning our sci-fi anime into a card game anime!

Etho is building a race track. Adding to the in-world ferver with games. His character fell to the planet in his escape shuttle later than everyone else. But his is now thriving, making a road system and race tracks. (And Bdubs and him might make another horse race track.)

Scar had the charity event, of course. Which also has added many games to the server. And Bdubs has a few games out in the wild. Xisuma has the bone cave elytra challenge. And Cub's Total Choas. Lots of games this season!

So! Thats where the current season sits. I know I missed a lot of people. But I dont watch everyone and some people dont play as often so its harder to say what their place in the story is. Like Cub. I think he also represents humans scrounging and building among ruins. But I dont watch his eps as often.

Anywho. Thats my rundown and lore analysis for season 9! Its pretty exciting all put together. I can totally picture how cool a cartoon set in this world would be. (Makes me want to write a story set in this world.)

What do y'all think?

*pulls out a chair and takes a load off, resting my dusty cowboy boots* so tell me about them magical girls

Thanks for the reminder anon!! Okay so the basis of this is an au i made almost exactly a year ago (Jan 17), in which I just threw spaghetti at a wall bc i was bored and came up with a Mumbo magical girl au bc it sounded ridiculous and fun. I made a post about this but uh i have spent the last hour (and then some) looking for it and i simply Cannot Find It :[ Anyways I took the original ramblings for back then and have added more ramblings onto it!

The vibe I was/am going for is a very like. self-aware kind of humor? like mumbo is not a magical girl and the ribbons on everything keep getting tangled and he feels very self-conscious in his dress and honestly did he have to steal grian's soul?? of all people???

The gist was:

Grian is a magical girl -> mumbo eats his soul -> grian's human self went with it and he is now just a bird Creature (aka animal companion) -> mumbo is now a magical girl -> moon is big -> mumbo has to stop the moon with the power of friendship and this wand he found.

Since then, ive vaguely added on a new wing of plot, wherein they have to get x magical object so that grian can be a human again, x magical object makes the entirety of boatem magical girls, and then they all take down the moon together heart emoji.

Theres some even more vague ideas i have about the enemy itself, like making it a lunar society(/deity?) so i can make it more in the format of an anime (how would they fight the moon itself anyway? hit it like a baseball??), and stuff like that, but honestly im not exactly looking to write this as much as i am thinking up character designs. I havent made any dress designs yet but i have got their wands!!!

ive also been trying to make them on blockbench but im currently battling with texturing and z-fighting so ill show them later

lastly, a random snippet from the fic im maybe-not-really gonna write that i thought was funny

anyways, thanks for the reminder to talk about this!! i think this whole thing is really fun to work on and honestly, thank god for any little bit of inspiration XD. id rlly appreciate someone asking questions about this so i can flesh out the plot a little more! <3
