Intro Post (redux)

Hi! This is an MCYT sideblog for me to ramble about general MCYT and minecraft things! I just started getting into MCYT around when Past Life released, but only got into the fandom side more when VSMP came out XD. Also- I'm tumblr/ao3 only! I don't use twitter or tiktok or anything.

Some of the MCYT stuff I've watched, either in part or in totality, are as follows:

Vampires SMP (<- will lose my marbles about this)

Hermitcraft

Life Series (all seasons)

Empires SMP (both seasons)

Skyblock Kingdoms (s2, need to catch up on S1)

Bannerfall SMP

Unstable Universe

Evolution SMP (Martyn and Grian POVs)

Various Minecraft ARGs, apparently? (they show up in my youtube and they're cool)

Currently watching: Skyblock Kingdoms 2 and Unstable Universe! More of a youtube watcher than twitch watcher though. (ha. watcher. Evo lore :3)

I'm more a writer than an artist, but I'll doodle from time to time! I'm currently writing 'Unseelie' - a VSMP fic - and have a Giant AU about Watchers/Listeners because that is in my mind Always. Also at the rate I'm going I'll end up spawning Unstable Universe fics also. help meeeee.

I'm always looking for people to chat with about minecraft stuff! Please feel free to yap with me!! :DDD

(I'll give out my main blog if anyone asks me directly, but my main is also 18+ multifandom tomfoolery, so I wanna be cautious about who follows that one. Specifically no young'uns)

Making myself laugh at the idea of a louis possessing legs AU but they both have the whole 'miles to go before I sleep' type suicidal tendencies so it's just

Louis: How am I here? What's going on Legs: Oh, the ghost of Owen's saint of a beloved. He deserves to live more than I do. Louis: What Owen: Yeah you should fuck off and let Louis have this chance Louis: But this is your life. You should live it. Legs: I'm a monster you should live it more. Louis: No, I'm a monster. You deserve your own life. You should live it. I had my chance Legs: And I've done terrible things with that life. I should give it to you. Louis: Owen please help argue this man into valuing his own life Owen: Why

In other words: it turns out Owen has a type and it's passively suicidal and on a quest for redemption. No one is happy about this, least of all him.

Owen and Legs on team "Louis should have the body" looking over with shock at the latest addition to team "Legs should have the body": Louis

[badalloc]

Legs and Louis taking turns explaining slowly, *painfully* to Owen the full depth of their Crimes Against Humanity in an effort to get him to See Reason.

Owen meanwhile:

via @badalloc

He's a vampire! He can't be upstaged by a human! That's just galling!

Why are you making that face, Louis? You don't get to disapprove of Owen's coping mechanisms, not after what you've done!

[jackdaw-sprite]

# So sorry Owen not only can you not upstage Doc or believe in immaculate saintly Louis anymore # The second they figure out neither of them letting the other disappear permanently is now their reality # You will be unfortunately outnumbered 3:1 in the relationship (Positing Cleo in this scenario as the your friend Steve of this clusterfuck) # She's not touching Owen with a ten foot pole unless bloodshed is involved but she's in a cold war truce w Louis for making Doc realize he # deserves to live purposes

Loving the dynamic emerging here

# Alternatively Owen attempting to speedrun getting the barrier down so he has access to sufficiently dramatic amounts of people to be # collateral for his Betrayal

(also via mytoomanybookstoread)

lmao YES he just goes 'humans can't keep us locked inside if there are no humans' and tries to turn or murder every human he can find until, I don't know, Cleo sits on him.

# WAIT Owen here hearing cleo's bodycount outside of context somehow and having the damning realization he's somehow penitent monster catnip

[jackdaw-sprite]

Thank you! I try 😇 (and the contrast between Owen's body count and Legs and especially Cleo's body counts always makes me laugh so very hard. Owen I don't think they're impressed)

# May I humbly suggest in honour of how much shit Doc's poor body is eating given neither of them wants to drive passenger princess au # (neither of them is relaxed they both are very very stressed about this whole lack of driver)

XD sounds good to me

# Also love the giving Cleo and one parallel dynamics get wrecked by watching a mirror of yourself loosers (loving)

It's so great! I'll add another on the pile: Cleo and Doc were supposed to save each other like Owen and Louis were supposed to save each other. (Except, of course, the manner of saving and the why and the what from are very different. Rhyming, not repeating)

I ran out of room and could not fit Bloodletting's whole Everything in there either but I do think it would be fun to Complicate Cleo's relationship with Louis. For extra paralleling points. Maybe Louis going 'I escaped the cult mentality and you can too' (he did not. He thinks he did.)

TFW the vampire ghost haunting your dearest friend's body is taking on the role of vampiric mentor figure like you wish your mother had gotten the chance to do.

is this anything

[solargeist]

I just think that…..

[blockthoughts]

Y'know, I wonder if the reason Spoke's never seemed to comm his own musical themes the way the other protags have is because of JamatoP.

Because. Jamato is wearing a Mako/Oro skin, one of the side characters from Hollow Knight. And pretty much all of Spoke's background music. Is Hollow Knight soundtracks, or similar enough that I recognize them as HK soundtracks.

Was Jamato watching whenever a HK background track played in Spoke's videos? That guy's been haunting the narrative since literally the First episode imagine if he's also the reason Spoke's theme music never changed. Because Jamato gave Spoke what defined him (the chestplate/exploits/etc) and Jamato has HK theming....

Anyway! Love losing my marbles like this haha

"It's my duty to protect the town. You're dying tonight" Another VSMP illustration! This time it's incredible Apokuna, she sure, uh, had a time, all kinds of times in session 3 and this moment was both heartbreaking and very cool.

Previous | Part 30

And with that, the Postcanon AU comic is coming to an end!! Thank you so so much to everyone who has been tuning in and all of your kind words<3 To celebrate, I will be doing a Q&A art stream on my youtube channel next week where you will be able to ask stuff related to the AU and watch me work on an illustration related to it! (aka possible cover art for a printed version of all comics put into one booklet!) I'll let y'all know about the time and date once I schedule the stream ^^

[amalkova]

"Is there evil in Oakhurst? Maybe. I dont think you a vampire, but from my perspective you do have all the makings of a monster in you."

Owen in vsmp is just The Character of all time, he skulks, gaslights, suffers, mocks and threatens, and that scene where he pulled "The Church Did It" card in front of the whole town, is just, mwah.

I truly do not have an explanation for this. This took about a month of planning, folding, gluing, and editing. Other people are out there making art and animatics and I'm doing whatever this is.

I have no regrets :)

A bonus gif for all your needs... I call it "blorbo_blend.gif"

[amalkova]

"How did this even look before? You know, artistic license is a great thing, i get to pick now"

I find it funny how every time someone goes to the castle they say "Some unnatural and mysterious force has been rebuilding these walls!" and for a second you go ooo, spoopy, until your brain catches up and it's… it's minecraft, duh, and that mysterious force is Scott doing renovations daytime cable style. But the delusion is very cool to live in for a hot sec!

Day 4 - Fangs/Feeding

This was written as a part of the @vsmp-bat-conservation-event Donate at this link here to donate to the Australasian Bat Society (this one is close to home, and I'm basing our featured bat off of a microbat that lives in the same area as me, the Eastern Tube-nosed Bat!)

Apo stands alone in her house, prodding at her new fangs. They're just barely visible, only slightly elongated past the normal size for a human. Almost as if her gums had pulled back slightly, rather than her teeth growing in length.

A little bat chitters on the windowsill, having followed her return home. It's not one of the vampires - too small, too wild - but she does think that it might have been her, before she had transformed and taken flight.

It also has tiny little fangs, just barely visible as it opens its mouth. It's a small thing, tiny even for a bat. Just a pup, really. It's barely five centimeters long, and its rusty fur doesn't look nearly warm enough for it.

Cautiously, Apo holds out her hand to it. The little thing clambers onto her, caution thrown to the wind as it buries itself under her sleeve. For a brief, rather hysterical moment, she imagines it purring. But it cannot - it's a bat - so she pushes the thought out of her head, turning to Truffle.

The pig snuffles curiously, and Apo cringes back. She can't. She won't.

"I think you eat fruit." Apo says instead, addressing the small bat sleeping in her sleeve. "You're too small, and -"

Apo chokes on her words, looking down at the her most trustworthy friend.

"And Truffle needs a treat as well. Alright. Lets find some berries for you both."

Apo stumbles back from Truffle. She doesn't flee, she is a soldier and a damned good one at that, but she does leave far faster than she ought to have. She isn't scared. Not of Truffle. Of what she might do to him.

So she walks normally, away from her house. Towards the forest.

To get all of them something to eat.

"What do you believe in, Shelby?" "Everything. All of it. Until I'm proven otherwise."

Final illustration based on session two, hoo boy, onto session 3! Wanted to make something that looks like a night vision cryptid sighting v!Shelby would delight in despite the horrors catching up to her.

Chapter Summary:

Shelby watches the townsfolk. Apo's bravery is her downfall.

Chapter Snippet:

Shelby She doesn't like being told to stay behind. More than anything, she wants to help the newfound friends - newfound coven - that's taken her in. But all three of the others had shaken their heads at her, shooing her off when she'd tried to interject, had tried to claim her place at the beacon's turning. And now here she is back in town, feeding wary chickens and waving at a cheerful Pearl, seething quietly over her own upset. Because the worst part of being left behind is that she understands why they'd done it. She's still a baby bat, as Scott has said. And not only that, but she is also the only one of the coven to thus far have no suspicion cast upon her, nor any major tells which she can be identified as a vampire by. She'll be the perfect scout in town simply by staying, and if anything goes terribly wrong she's the one who can warn the others. She's the one who can save them. And more than that, Scott trusts her to save them.

Shelby AND Apo POV! In one chapter! :D

Hope you enjoy!
