#yeah they are definitely never mentioned

[doublemyheight]

I'm so fed up seeing videos about "the downfall of mcyt" or "mcyt history" and then the creator only mentions DSMP and maybe a few youtubers they watched. Like... there. are. so. many. creators. who. counted. or. count. as. mcyt. Here are my thoughts.

There are so, so many who counted, and still so many who count. And yeah, DSMP is an important part of MCYT history, but it's so recent in comparison. Like. Minecraft is a cockroach, it will go through so much shit and still be alive and active. Yes, there are the names who bring or brought down the name of MCYT, but in comparison they've always been such a small part of the community. They need to be remembered for their bad actions, or illegal in some cases, but defining the community by them is not good. Nor is just using one fucking smp.

I have watched, or attempted to watch, those types of videos on the history or the downfall etc., and I always complain internally about it. THERE ARE SO MANY PROMINENT MINECRAFT CONTENT CREATORS THAT FUCKING MADE CONTENT. Some don't make Mc (minecraft) content anymore or they rarely do but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be mentioned. (Yes I know, it's an impossible task to talk about all of them, but mentioning three or four as "the og mcyters" or "the old popular mcyters" just angers me)

DSMP I would say helped with the mc resurgence, but I can say similar to SMP live and SMP earth. I count SMP live as pretty important since I think people started watching the streams and videos from that smp and when DSMP happened people treated the content the same and watched it a lot. People started watching again, then with the boom of content in the covid lockdown people watched more. It wasn't just DSMP though.

Listen if you want to do a video about how DSMP affected you or the minecraft community, sure yeah that's a video to make. If you want to do a video on a specific few ytbers who you watched and how they affected the community yeah sure that's a video to make. To say "these are the three main" that's for you. To you they were the main three. To make the video of "all of mcyt history and mc as a whole" and mention 3 people......... and then DSMP.................... I don't understand you.

I've been a MCYT fan for years and years. As a child and as an adult. From E for everyone videos to watching videos that fucked with my innocence and just exposed me to shit I shouldn't have been watching at the time. Year after year watching different types of videos and different creators. Supporting people and finding out I shouldn't, and supporting people and them being good people. To challenge videos, parkour, adventure maps, droppers, role playing, role playing, let's plays, tutorials, modded content, horror content, hide and seek. So many different types of content exist for mc, and I've been a watcher for a lot of it.

DSMP should not define MCYT. There is too many people who have made content for me to just accept that.

Hold people accountable for their actions, do not define a large community by a few people, and if you want to talk about your favorites affect in the community go right ahead but please don't call them the most popular or most important. Some people might never of heard of them. (I am thinking of the do you know this mcyt blog)

#mcyt #dsmp #smp live #smp earth #Just mcyt as a whole is what im talking about theres so many youtubers out there #im just not up for people minimizing how much mc content exists. #edit: so youre not going to mention hermitcraft or stampy or prestonplays or popularmmos or aphmau or SCOTT SMAJOR or ihascupquake or #or any of the “little” crew or skydoesminecraft or shubble or captain sparklez or hbomb94 or rtgame or jacksucksatlife or amylee33 or Jamal #or wattles or squaishy or bajancanadian or jeromeasf or vikkstar #like yeah you need to mention Technoblade cause hes DSMP and skeppy and Badboyhalo are all that but they HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR FOREVER #techno gets the best commentary on him since you know #like so many of the hermitcraft people as well are so og mcyt to me and NOTHING is usually said about them #like fucking ldshadowlady and smallishbeans are also so og and scott and seepeekay and oli and like that crazy craft smp is so old so good #ssundae too im literally going through doyouknowthismcyt queue sheet for these names and i feel insane please please please talk about more #fucking mcyters then the dsmp ones i have fondish memories of dsmp dont hate on me but there is so much more you can talk about in videos #i feel so repetitive but i needed to express my thoughts on it #edit edit YEAH HOLD ON I FORGOT TO MENTION WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER FUCKING LANGUAGES AND COUNTRIES #theres other countries and other fucking languages people made mc content in i forgot about it for a sec #yeah they are definitely never mentioned

I'm sorry, I just realized I've been referring to Kudo and Bruce's anti-AFO group as "The Resistance" when they don't even have a name

So I'm just gonna call it that until they give a name, but darn it

#I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THEY DIDNT HAVE A NAME #i just went “wait. where did they ever call themselves the Resistance?” and WHOOP-DEE-DOO GUESS WHO MADE IT UP #ahahaha why #i really thought that was their name but my head just made it up like it were fact #they never mention if their group had a name #so now im wondering where my brain came up with that because it definitely wasnt a conscious thought #just went “The Resistance Yeah!” #the sky is blue all might was quirkless and the resistance is actually unnamed #man #bnha #my hero academia #boku no hero academia #ofa #one for all users #kudo #bruce #yoichi shigaraki #afo #all for one #one for all #i am mentioning this in advance because i have posts queued up and they mention “The Resistance” #and by that i mean Kudo's ragtag group of allies against AFO #it was one of those things where you dont even question it its just facts from forever ago #darn it #im still gonna refer to it as such but still. its a hc thing then that i made up #backed by the sole phrasing/fact of “kudo led a resistance to counter AFO's rule” #spoilers #good job me *claps sleeves*

[langernameohnebedeutung]

so there is this thing I've speculated over many times but I never mathed it out before so:

This tells us that Blaine was born at some point between 6/4/1980 and 5/4/1981 (I assume it's not his birthday bc I feel like he would have mentioned it but he also might not)

We also learn this:

Now this seems to slightly conflict with this -

-but I'm actually more leaning towards the first one, because Angus was actually sane then (by McDonough standards) then and it's a legal "document", while the other is a "Brother Love" doing a sermon.

Also, we can see on screen, that the will was recorded on March 4th 2012 - so minus 35 years, that actually means that she's been working for him since before Blaine was born (1977 or 1978)

Which would really mean she was there all of Blaine's life. This is also kind of supported for me by this:

Now...in present day, Blaine mostly refers to his father by his name, using words like dad or pops etc sometimes for the sake of it. But...assuming that he's actually quoting something he remembered saying at some point (which it sure sounds like in that scene), then he must have been pretty young to still have referred to his father as "daddy" - especially considering Angus' long absence and generally...low tolerance for "weakness" or sentimentality. I feel like he wouldn't have humoured that for long but that's just speculation. But my point is that Blaine would have been pretty young at that point which supports the earlier theory that Frau Bader really was there for most of his life.

The thing is, personally I always speculated that she was hired because Angus was barely home/didn't really spend time with his son and because his mother was too mentally ill/traumatised to take care of a child. but. Unless Blaine has a secret mysterious older sibling we never hear about, Bader cannot possibly have been hired as a nanny. Which kind of makes me wonder whether she was supposed to be a kind of "caretaker" for Blaine's mother before that. (Or whatever else her connection to Angus might be)

#she's definitely not some random maid considering that he gives her so much money and keeps her around for so long #but she also doesn't really seem to be connected to his company or business so her being in charge of the household makes sense #so yeah my theory that she was originally hired to look after Blaine's mother (which probably didn't help) #izombie #blaine debeers #child abuse mention #domestic abuse mention #fandom #still think that dressing up as an old man and gaslighting his father into believing he missed the apocalypse is easily. top 5 Blaine antic #(but also. do you ever think about that he's simply never been okay or in a safe environment his entire life. how do you fix that.)

I gotta write a Kai centered fic or one shot some time soon man...

Last time I did I unironically had so much, he's so fun to write and especially when he's starting to lose some of that level-headed seriousness and focus he has in actually dangerous situations.

#ninjago #kai smith #I love Kai so much #His motivation are set up so well and its opens the door for him to have really specific but good dynamics #Like a few days ago when I pointed out how he and Zane *DEFINITELY* have something going on #I'm still thinking about that post yeah #Because fuck me they're both so samiliar in so many regards #Amazing big brothers potential if you talk abt those two #Oh not to mention Lloyd and Nya #Definitely a responsibility of ensuring they're safe and all #He's such a caring person but fuck me does he rarely show that #He's a little guy give him love #ACTUALLY just give him Ray and Maya he deserves to have some time off with his parents #This all being said however #If you ever see me abruptly stop posting about Zane for a while and then come back with a completely different character #Not that something's up CUZ THAT AIN'T ME #I will never shut the fuck up about Zane 'Ninjago' Julien.

Stuck at a red light and I could count 16 cranes all making new condos and apartments. Maybe a few of them are offices but they looked like apartments.

Filled me with a new sense of dread

#I’m just. head in hands. you guys have no idea. I’ve been here my whole life and it has never been this horrible here. traffic. #there was definitely more than 16 that’s just what I was able to see #Yes just keep building luxury apartments and making an already horribly planned out and overcrowded city even more crowded 👍 #if this shit was actually planned out it wouldn’t be so bad #but it was not. intended. to have this many people. #what I want to know is who the fuck is actually living in them #yeah we got a lot of people from high wage states working remotely here in the past 3 years #but surely it can’t be THAT MANY????? #like. this is a city with no industry outside of money laundering and being a servant to rich ppl and tourists #wages are in the dirt here. even with a degree most jobs will refuse to pay a living wage #you will make more in pretty much any other state fl wages are abysmal #who is renting these #edit: I should mention that building more housing is not a bad thing it’s just that. these aren’t for normal people. these are for the rich #the regular ppl are getting absolutely eaten alive here. I would know I’m one of them. #and the roads just can’t support this many people. my commute has gotten 10-15 mins longer #just this year. distance hasn’t changed. there’s just that many more cars

Can we get more of Nloshe (from the Art of War), pretty please please please 🙏 🥺

i don’t usually go back to goretober pieces. not for lack of wanting to, it just doesn’t usually work out because i’m more interested in newer projects (the werewolf pieces that spawned further work have been the exception and not the rule). the art of war is an all-time personal favorite but it’s also one that i don't want to touch again, it ended right where it should've.

that said, i really love that setup. i'd like to write alien characters again soon.

#rotpeach answers #couldnt find the old ask that mentioned it #but it used to be that every year people would ask me about continuing certain pieces and id say oh yeah definitely #and then never would lol so my policy now is to honestly say it probably wont happen #ive considered doing a “continutober” or something similar where i just write followups or prequels etc to existing pieces #but even then i cant guarantee id pick the ones people want most

Your family have something precious.

Someone comes and kills your family and steals your family’s precious thing.

You try to get it back but you can’t they are too powerful

Then someone else comes and beats the bad guy and takes the precious thing.

But they will not give it back to you.

Their argument is they did all the hard work. They risked their lives. They lost their friends and family to fight Evil while you tried but failed.

Surely they deserve a little piece of rewards?

Also, they said you do not own that precious thing to begin with. That thing is too good and must be shared with everyone for maximum benefit.

But you grew up with that precious thing in your home and lost your family over that thing and you want to keep it. You dead family will want to have it back.

Of course your family did not make that thing out of air. But your family were the ones to reshape it on so something fascinating, something precious.

You want your family’s precious thing back, and those heroes of the stories ignore your pleads.

Your probably think this is about Silmarils.

But this is also how a lot of Sindar elves think about their lost lands.

—————

Imagine you are a Sindar elf that goes back to where your hometown was after the Long Piece started.

Noldor has built a new city in their own style over the ruin of your home

And they welcome you to stay offering citizenship like they are the owner of the land

They imposed new laws, that are different with laws of you people, and they called their laws advanced and right

If you don’t like the laws, you have the “freedom” to leave. They built this place, after all.

You look at that hill over there. You know the name of that hill. Your father brought you there on your begetting days and planted trees.

Your father was abducted by orcs when the Constrainer came from the west. You don’t know if he is alive or not and you don’t know which is the kinder fate.

Now the trees are gone and there are Noldor houses over the hill, and they gave the hill a new name you do not like.

You want to ask if the trees were burnt in the war, or cut down to make places for the house. You kept your questions to yourself.

They came to fight the dark enemy and they brought back your lost homeland. They do not deserve that hostility.

So you live at their city, learn their language, follow their laws, and in your head you call that hill by its old name.

Then one day the words reached you, and you lost it, you went to your Noldor neighbors to ask is that true is that true you came on ships stained by blood of my own people across the sea

They did not look at your eyes, and you know the rumor is true.

But they had no problem looking at your eyes before. They only show guilt after you find out their crimes

You followed their laws.

But what laws did they follow killing your family to steal their ships?

Had circumstances been difficult, would they kill you to steal your land?

But you will not know. You will not afford to find out.

#tolkien #silmarillion #the silmarillion #silm #silmarillion headcanon #silm headcanon #I know this take is probably ooc #but yeah Thingol’s Quenya ban was widely effective #people followed voluntarily and Noldor had to learn Sindarin and translate their names #that’s very impressive #there must be some reason #silmaril #sindar #of course Sindar elves are not wholly innocent #they did fuck up petty dwarves and never mentioned it #like Turin grew up in Doriath but he did not know that #definitely not in their textbook that they committed genocide #but yeah I seriously think Eol’s opinion was a common one among those who did not live in Doriath in the beginning #became war refugee and when you came back to your homeland it was already occupied #if you were lucky it would be Turgon and he was at least nice #Nevrast seemed to have many Sinder elves #and they liked Turgon enough to follow him to Gondolin #if you were unlucky you get Celegorm and Curufin #kinslayer #not apologetic #will abduct your princess and try to force her into marriage #good luck for that

I find it kind of interesting that we have a couple of delusions (and the hallucinations that come with those) that just kind of involve gruesome stuff happening to us, especially because they weren't as gruesome at first but have gotten more so over time.

the hallucinations are all somatic ones (sensations instead of visuals or audio) but they're stuff like I guess what our brain thinks it would feel like if our organs were decomposing, or being eaten by maggots, or just stuff with a similar vibe to that?

I can put up with it for the most part, but like I did nearly throw up on the bed because of it earlier and I'd really like to not experience that again

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #emetophobia tw #vent post #<- I guess? I mean it kinda sucks but I'm not that upset about it right now #anyway this is partly from the Cotard's delusion and partly because we also get delusions involving being parasitised #I think they're kind of linked together for us. like there's a similar vibe to them somehow #anyway the Cotard's delusion is like... it flares up every so often and gets really intense #but otherwise it's mostly just there in the background as like ''yeah that's a thing we experience'' but not affecting us that much #it's hard to explain how we usually feel about it when it's not flaring up really intensely #but at the moment it is flaring up so it's like... okay I guess this is what we're doing for the foreseeable future #idk we might just wake up later and be like ''oh never mind'' or it might flare up for a few weeks or whatever #also talking about this is wild because like I've definitely mentioned us having it but I'm still aware that everything says it's super rar #even though we've met multiple other people who have it and we had it for years without knowing it had a name or anything #but I'm still paranoid about getting fakeclaimed because people like to be like ''that's so rare. there's no way you can have that'' #like idk what to tell you buddy my brain is convinced that I'm dead and that my organs are decomposing. I'm not happy about it either #being able to double-bookkeep and know we're experiencing a delusion also makes it weirder #because it's like yeah I know it sounds ridiculous and is technically impossible but my brain has decided that none of that matters #and me being like ''well that can't be true'' feels like being in denial so even though I know it's a delusion #a lot of the time it's easier to just lean into it and go ''okay sure I guess I'm dead. who gives a shit'' #anyway let's see how I end up feeling after talking about this because either I'll post it and be like ''yeah this is fine'' #or I'll get paranoid about being fakeclaimed or people being like ''what the actual fuck'' and end up deleting it

a super fun thing that my brain is really good at is hearing a random fact and remembering it forever. but only if it's bad :)

#the reason I'm thinking about that right now: I wish I had never read that having a crease on your earlobe means you're more likely to have #heart disease. #scared me so much that I read a whole paper about it #but it's been years now so I don't remember the details #just that that's a thing apparently #and guess what my brain does with that information? oh yeah of course I have to obsessively look at the ears of everyone now! does that #do anything helpful? nope! just makes me very very anxious :) #it's just like when I was a kid and I got nightmares about scurvy every time I didn't eat a potato for a week. #like. wow I could be so smart and everything if my brain wasn't constantly focused on random bullshit that is completely irrelevant 😭 #also this thing specifically: I've always been weirdly fascinated by ears and this made that a million times worse and also very scary. #like ooh that's a nice ear :) oh no death exists and this person is going to die and #yeah it sucks. #specifically choosing not to mention any names in this context because my god this shit is on my mind all the time already I really don't #need to say it where anyone can see #it's embarrassing enough #though anyone who has looked at my blog in the past month already knows who I'm talking about. #like. I really shouldn't allow myself to like anyone over the age of like. idk 45. #it's so unbelievably exhausting. #but annnyway I'm totally normal and fine :) #oh yeah I also have creases on my earlobes lol so that definitely added to the scariness (and THEN my mother randomly mentioned recently #that EVERYONE on her side of the family had/has heart disease. bitch WHAT the fuck. anyway so yeah guess we know what's gonna kill me #haha isn't that fun :) ) #ALSO the fact that my memory is very very bad means that I remember absolutely none of the details about shit like this. so it could very #well be completely irrelevant and harmless but i wouldn't remember that part. #and I think even if I found out more it wouldn't help. it's been an obsession for so long. I've never had one go away that I've had for #this long. so. guess I'm just fucked. #personal

@falling-hand-in-unlovable-hand + @babblish, from (this fic author meta meme)

here's the thing tho: you're both right.

wizards introduced a trio of the tightest, coolest antagonist concepts in the entire toa franchise. it then proceeded to run them directly into the ground through a combination of 1.) rushed writing (wizards) and 2.) bad writing (rott). it's late and i'm not particularly interested in beating this crumbling horse skeleton for the nth time in public, but i'm on my soapbox and the editor has already eaten one version of this post.

the order should be scary. these are the things merlin is afraid of, or at least that he doesn't want to tangle with head-on. they made morgana. but that means nari is scary, too. which is borne out! in her very first appearance, she's the one merlin (!) turns to for help; she's the one who boosts camelot, singlehandedly, to stand against bellroc and skrael. her second appearance introduces her as a necromancer, one, again, powerful enough to accomplish (as if in play) what bellroc and skrael cannot, even working together. she also straight up kills humans at killahead, handily, and never once uses magic to do it. most importantly: her dialogue consistently places her as "one of the order," even if she's currently apart from the other two.

but wizards fails to take its own premises seriously. nari should be terrifying; but the narrative presents her as charming, sweet, having done terrible things but ultimately "heroic," concerned with setting things right. but by her own definition, she's still one third of the arcane order. gdt's entire brand is monster apology. more importantly, we have MULTIPLE on-screen attempts to reach out to "villains" in both trollhunters and 3 below. jim tries to make a connection with fucking bular, of all people! so what's stopping us from extending the same gracious assessment to bellroc and skrael?

"uh, they can't be three-dimensional, they're the bad guys."

a lazy, flimsy justification. and one that doesn't hold up if you've watched even one (1) season of the previous franchise installments.

#trollhunters #toa wizards #arcane order #nari of the eternal forest #skrael of the north wind #i also am deliriously tired so i completely forgot to mention here that. y'know. yeah skrael actually definitely shows affection #tldr #wizards forgot the entire point of trollhunters #namely: what makes a hero was never 'killing the monster.' #judge jim in rott—hell. even in wizards—and you will NOT find the flawed but sympathetic protagonist of trollhunters #which i say not to be like 'jim bad' but 'maybe we should let the baddies be more than cardboard evil cutouts...?' #radical concept. #mine
