I lied, it is a MC side blog

getting dragged back into MCYT whether I like it or not, apparently (I do, the people are great) | pfp made by the wonderful @wraithdoge

[definitelynotamcsideblog]

Realizing I should probably make a pinned post whoops. Never done that before.

Anyways. Hi! You can call me Rouge, or Fenris. I don't particularly care which. Pronouns are he/they.

I've gotten dragged back into MCYT for reasons unknown and it's making me want to write fanfic again after nearly ten years (thank you SBK). I'm mostly making this blog for Skyblock Kingdoms and related SMPs.

Uhhh. I think that's it. Bye.

Edit: being unkind to others gets you blocked. Be good to each other.

Hey ferry, do you know where you came from? Otherwise, what's your favorite memory that you've made?

.ferry: "I don't."

[cursedthing]

Howdy ferry! This one might be a bit personal, but what do you think of Tasim?

.ferry thinks about the question for a while before answering.

.ferry: "he and aledar were the first people i remember hearing."

ferry: "he leaves [always]

ferry: "and i follow [he leaves]"

ferry: ...

ferry: "he is important [i told him the truth]"

message to all part-time MCYTers: if you ever find yourself thinking "wow, I'm really seeing a lot of good audience response, I could probably go full-time"? THAT IS THE DEVIL TALKING. DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB. YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR ART TO BECOME DEPENDENT ON CAPTURING THE LARGEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE OVER MAINTAINING ANY SORT OF ARTISTIC INTEGRITY. DO NOT GO FULL-TIME.

[betweenlands]

truly cannot stress enough how fucking impossible it is to make art when your living conditions depend on creating something with broad enough mass appeal. all you are doing is setting yourself up for heartbreak after heartbreak in having to abandon things just because they aren't performing well. iterating nonstop not because of a drive to improve your own craft but because not making the Next Big Thing could easily mean majorly destabilizing your own income source.

do not put yourself in a situation where you have to choose between compromising your own artistic vision and making something that will "perform well." where you are gambling on winning the lottery and being the one person people are willing to watch anything from. do not put yourself in the middle of an entertainment industry with zero structural protection -- no unions, no minimum wage, no insurance or benefits or oversight or assistance -- and no recourse other than word of mouth if you get hurt.

do not throw yourself into a system that currently displays a vested interest in sticking to a "safe" status quo, that reflects societal bias to the maximum and constantly prioritizes cis white men over literally anyone else. where you are constantly under scrutiny for anything and everything you do and one slightly annoying remark may become your reputation forever.

art cannot be sustained under those conditions. not when you have to choose between making that art or paying your bills. do not quit your fucking day job.

Alright! Emotions time!

I pretty much already said this in Leon's discord, but here we go again!

I've said bits and pieces of this over the last few days, whether in comment sections or elsewhere, but it bears repeating. I found this community in early december after nearly a year and a half of no communication(online or other) with anyone outside of my partner (big shout out to him, hes awesome <3) and my family. Along with that, I had stopped drawing for over half a year, despite having done it consistently my whole life. Through this community that Leon has built up, I have made new friends that I talk to regularly and met one of the people who I consider my closest and dearest friend (clone). I also draw consistently and have for the last 6 months, all thanks to a skibidi penguin being goofy on stream.

My life has changed drastically because of this community and I could not be more grateful.

So thank you, LeonSBU, for what you have made here.

I look forward to whatever comes next.

So, yeah! Thats alot more sap than I usually put here, but oh well.

thinking about sbk2 marm again. shes autistic. shes an unreliable narrator. she probably wishes she was more assertive than she was. she sacrificed so much of herself for a man who kind of sucked. she loved coffee and doughnuts. she dragged herself up from poverty because she wanted to improve people's lives. she kept a diary. she never got to say goodbye to the only person she truly cared about. she nearly destroyed everything in existence in pursuit of her goals. she incinerated avid's dog. she invented copper golems. she lost everything so many times and kept fighting. she was an allegory for compulsory heterosexuality and motherhood. she was a modern day dr frankenstein. she got cuteness aggression at baby ghasts. she fed sheep to a monster through a tube. she gave up her life because she had nothing to go home to if avid wasnt going to be there. she doomed multiple universes. she enslaved her friends. it wasnt her fault. all of it was her fault. she just wanted to help people.

do you think there's a plurality metaphor in that no one knows enough about Fool to know xe's anything more than just Red Fool. there are seven of her. *seven*. and yet the majority of people who don't put in the time to learn more about him basically ONLY draw/write the one who appears most often

KING 🐠 ELFFE 🐠

The tree on his sleeve is a looking-glass mangrove tree, which have uniquely giant roots and can grow to be giants themselves! With Elffe’s huge terraforming, it felt fitting. The ones on the front of his cardigan have root arches of coastal mangrove, and I loved including different silhouettes of tropical fish. King of making it rain fish ^_^

isn't it kind of strange that personal space is a thing in multiplayer minecraft? or that people tend to looking at each other's characters when they talk to each other?

these things don't fulfill the inherent social functions they have in person. there is are no facial expressions you're missing if you don't look at the other person's minecraft character. there is no functional difference between standing right next to someone and standing 3-4 blocks away, you're no impeding them in any way

yet people do it anyway. they keep a few block distance between each other. they look at each other when talking, whether it's by going afk with the cursor on the other person or by tracking their idle movement

which gives us these moments where they close that distance or exaggerate the eye contact and suddenly it means something, because it's different! this thing that has no difference in game mechanics, gains meaning through the social conventions. crouching at each other and staring at each other. bumping into the other player. standing right next to a player until slightly nudging them

and that evolves, like real society! it's not something i recall happening that much 10-15 years ago. proximity chat likely has something to do with it, giving the distance some slight game-mechanical meaning and also making the character feel more like a manifestation of the other person instead of simply an object in the game while you were chatting on skype. it pulls people deeper into the game world, increases the immersion and suddenly we have body language in a game where your only ways to manipulate the body are the way it's facing, walking, jumping and crouching. if you want to call it body language there's also the item you're holding - or the two items, in modern minecraft. it's incredible how much of a language can be built with such primitive tools

"would you still love me if i was a worm" sure. yeah. maybe.

but would you still love me if i was a clone? would you still love me if i wasn't the me you thought i was? would you still love me even if the me you loved is dead now? would you still love me if i replaced the me you loved? would you still love me if i wasn't always me? would you still love me, even if i wasn't sure who me was anymore?
