and I'm an aspiring Minecraft YouTuber! Welcome to my blog, I hope you find something you like!
Here's my channel and channel trailer:
Hi, I'm Aspen! I love playing Minecraft and sharing that joy with others!
This blog is where I'll keep you all up-to-date on my latest videos and plans for the channel, as well reblogging any fanart and memes that come my way.
Right now, I've just joined a brand new SMP called SpoonieCraft, where I stream weekly and post videos (hopefully) monthly. You can learn more about this SMP by checking out our trailer!:
I was also in a previous SMP called HyperFix (formerly AuDHD), where my friends and I built according to specific themes, ran events, and had a lot of laughs.
If you're looking for something more dramatic, I have also posted two seasons of the Obviois SMP, where my friends and I play several games based on the Life Series/Traffic SMP (created by Grian)!
Alongside these two SMPs, I also post miscellaneous short videos from various other servers I'm in, and I have a few longer videos in the works right now as well. I look forward to sharing it all with you!
But Consider… What If We Went To The Ancient City? - Last Life… With a Twist! - Episode 2
The team is growing, and they need diamonds! But who could possibly be willing to brave the mines in search of more?? (who are we kidding. It's Aspen). But more importantly… can they convince their team to brave the most alluring mines of all: the Ancient City?
Watch episode two to find out!:
Missed episode one? You can find it here, along with a new episode every Sunday!:
The long-awaited schedule! We’re still working on the full Pocket Guide, which will have an e-version in colour as well as a black-and-white print version available for free at the Registration Desk. This version is a stripped-down listicle of all our panels, stage events, meet and greets, photo shoots, and other convention activities.
We already sent out an email with a schedule of photo shoots and meet and greets in list form, so we are omitting them from this email, but all the information can be found in the PDF. (It will also be uploaded to our website soon.)
Download Here!!
For folks who don't want to download, here are the panels, listed for your convenience:

SpoonieCraft videos on Aspen's main channel will focus on the Tasks mentioned in this video, but if you also want to keep up with the more everyday aspects of Aspen's SpoonieCraft season in real time, be sure to check out Aspen's Twitch! There is at least one SpoonieCraft stream each week, often on Sundays or Tuesdays.
This video above is a condensed version of Aspen's 9-hour stream from the first day of the server (so sorry if the audio quality is bad, this footage is from a VOD and not a recording). If you want to see what else happened that first day, you can check out the full 9-hour VOD below, or over on Aspen's VODs channel!
Super excited about this SMP, and I'm really looking forward to see what y'all come up with!
Exciting news - I've joined a new SMP! Want to know what it's all about? Check out our trailer! (we put so much work into it, genuinely it'd mean so much to me if you check it out):

I'll be posting task-focused SpoonieCraft videos on my YouTube channel (check out my episode 1 for more details) and I'll be showing more casual, real-time base progress and group events over on my Twitch channel, so be sure to subscribe and follow so you don't miss out on any of it! I really hope you're as excited as I am about this new SMP, and I hope to see you around as the season goes on!
Three couples got engaged in the DashCon 2 ball pit. Now it’s time to tie the knot.
That’s right—DashCon 2 attendees were merely their earthly form. When they grace the stage on Sunday, August 2nd, the spirit of DashCon 2 will take them over, and they will transmute into vessels of the Three Great Couples: Dean Winchester and Castiel, The Doctor and The Master, and Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Then, when the spirits of SuperWhoLock are among us, they shall complete the ritual, bringing peace to all DashCon 2 attendees through the power of Gay Matrimony.
All are welcome to bear witness to the union. Anticipate candy, dancing, and festivities. And cake, but… well. You know what they say about cake. It tends to lie.
Dean: @aspenscore
Castiel: @ceres-trek
The Doctor: @patheticpaprika
The Master: @halfofacorvidjawbone
Holmes: [what are you, a cop?]
Watson: @rottedbug
