Whimsy SMP as Ettelia Este
Whimsy SMP is a modded Minecraft invite-only servers. Many content creators are part of the project and we all act as our own characters. I play Ettelia Este, a mysterious fortune teller. I appear on other's streams and occasionally on my own or in videos on my youtube channel. Sometimes I make comics and art related to the stories as well.

One Piece-Genshin Redesigns
This is my current ongoing project. I’m redesigning One Piece characters to fit within Genshin Impact. I’ll be picking an element and weapon for each character I do as well as writing a little bit about how I’ve decided they fit into Teyvat. I'll be doing the Straw Hat crew and perhaps a few other characters. These are a bit slow coming out (they take a lot of time) but i am still working on them!
This is my own story, a Grecoroman-themed fantasy with a bit of the Ars Goetia thrown in. The overall idea is a romance in the middle of a war between humans and demons. Hyacinth is the Hero with conveniently light-related powers. The love interest is Azazel, the Demon Lord. It’s styled after the general anime Yuusha story with a hero and the Demon Lord final boss, but with my own twist and a few more Western fantasy elements than you’d normally find in a Yuusha story. Most of my posts have been on Patreon, but will likely end up here soon.

Everything is under the cut due to spoilers in the 2.8 Story Quests before the continued quest on August 6th. This includes a recap/analysis of the characters, factions, and the overall Itzaland plotline with speculation and the theory TLDR at the end.
We've learned a lot in the latest quest about characters and the Itzaland region history so I've compiled an overview of each relevant character, faction, and a couple other things.
Echeros - dragon, god of reincarnation, reincarnated every so often, disappeared mysteriously but we now know Echeros was captured and likely killed by Asna.
Dragons - Echeros' people, took over the duty of guiding souls when Echeros disappeared.
Saintess - last dragon, raised by Echeros but has no memories after that, Saintess of Docilism, had half the mark of the cycle, gave Nikki her destiny and the mark before she, like, died.
Asna - Titan King, immortal, stole the mark of the cycle to continue switching bodies to continue ruling her people, the Titans in the Heaven's Reach city state, who were prophesied to die without her, likely killed Echeros in her 2nd reincarnation, none of the next reincarnations were very consensual on the host's part.
Mothis - 9 people who did not take up the dragons on their exchange, gave Asna the tablet of prophecy, kept her and themselves alive, recruited Medael.
“Black Sheep” - leader of Mothis until her assumed death, had a kid with "Blue Eyes" - “White Sheep” aka Angert, had second thoughts and dreamed of a world where gods and mortals are equal. All the gods are dead in Miraland after the Veilfall so this has kind of been achieved? In a way?
“Blue-Eyes” - current leader of Mothis, “White Sheep” aka Angert’s father, a terrible father oh my god calls his kid a pawn and creature like are you for real bro?????
Parksolians - The people made from the fusion of human and dragon souls during the Veilfall, they currently shoulder Echeros’ lost duty of ferrying souls through reincarnation, they also suffer from soul rift due to the meshing of dragon and human souls.
Meghill - Current chief of the Parksolians, I love him immensely, he's not important for this analysis I just wanted to include him.
Medael - Meghill’s sister, created Docilism to revive the Titan King after meeting Mothis, also tried to kill the Parksolians to free them from their duty.
Angert - undercover operative everywhere, Meghill’s friend, true ally of Nikki, current incarnation of “White Sheep” after his soul was transferred from his original body into a Parksolian Child’s body with a 1 in a million chance of success without the mark of the cycle, kid isn’t named but I assume the name was Angert bc he had to assume that identity, probably feels more like a Parksolian than a member of Mothis, it’s implied fairly heavily.
Shroomlings/Shroomseras - Native inhabitants of Itzaland currently if not also in the past, cute little mushroom guys that are super nice and unfortunately keep getting enslaved into cults, the Spira and Heaven's Reach shrooms are noticeably different in color and cap style, Medael used the Shroomlings faith in the Titan King to weaken the Saintess though that may not have been on purpose, the Shroomseras get used as nutrients to keep Heaven's Reach running once they turn golden.
Mark of the Cycle - I am assuming the mark is a manifestation of Echeros' divine power, it belonged to Echeros’ and corresponds to the cycle of reincarnation and ferrying souls, Asna took it, it is now split in half with Nikki carrying part of it after the Saintess gave it to her along with her destiny, everyone is fighting over it, taking it is why Mothis invited Nikki to Heaven's reach.
Now that we have all the context out of the way lets go back over the major plot points!
The main plot of Itzaland revolves around the mark of the cycle, Echeros’ disappearance, and the Titan King. We're introduced to Itzaland with the Titan King being named the true god of the land, we learn this is false and it's actually Echeros, god of reincarnation. The Saintess was weakened by, what I assume, is the lack of belief in Echeros as she is the last Dragon and had half the mark of the cycle. Medael may not have intended the faith change to effect the Saintess, she may have only known about the mark of the cycle. It's not clear or ever specified as far as I can remember. Anyway, the Saintess dies and gives the mark to Nikki, who now shares her destiny. We save the Shroomlings, Echeros' snail friend, and the Mothershroom. Yay!
We are then introduced to the dilemma of the soul rift and the Parksolians taking over Echeros’ duties after the Veilfall where both the Dragons who were dying and the humans trying to escape the cataclysm. This, notably, is all after Echeros disappears. The Parksolians experience soul rift due to the rift between the combined human and dragon souls in them, causing pain. You can actually see this when they are in spirit form, the Parksolians have a double model with 2 colors that gives a slight chromatic aberration effect on their in game models. It's cool!
From what we've seen the Titans were in opposition to the dragons, implied through Shroomseras, the conflict between Asna and Echeros, and the constant goal to make the dragons seem evil and replace the true god of the land with the Titan King. The Titans pursued artisanship and mechanics, with only one exception being Ritalli in the Elderwood Forest who created her homunculli that cleanse miasma. Except she got killed by Nikos, who wanted her achievements as his own. While it could be foreshadowing I don’t think that’s relevant actually.
I don’t actually think the Shroomlings or Shroomseras are super relevant for the mark of the cycle stuff. They’re, like, being used as “nutrients” or a power source, that’s why Mothis wants them. They also, as mentioned before, seem to have influence through belief. Though that may be coincidence or unintentional. They’re the sad little cult members that provide power but aren't knowingly part of the struggle. They did exist in Ritalli’s time, however she was alive after the Veilfall because of the whole cleansing the miasma thing, so I don’t know if the Shroomlings existed before the Veilfall. It says in the most recent quest the Titan’s all dissolved into gold due to Echeros’ curse denying them reincarnation, and the Shroomseras are only used after they turn gold, but only the Shroomseras turn gold not the Spira Shroomlings, so I don’t think they’re the remains of the Titans. I think the Titan souls are probably trapped in the floating island where Asna supposedly trapped Echeros’ soul and they’re being used to power the cogbuds but, like, as the gold gem thing Klick found. I think Echeros may have escaped, but to get to that I must present the main questions of Itzaland:
Why did Echeros disappear/stop reincarnating? This one seems pretty straight forward now that we know Asna took the mark of the cycle for herself. Reincarnation with the previous consciousness intact seems to only work through possession of the mark of the cycle. Without it Echeros could not reincarnate. It’s also specified that Asna kills him and possibly imprisons his soul. So either Echeros is trapped, unable to reincarnate, or he reincarnated without his divine power, knowledge, and all that jazz. This is why he never returned to the dragons.
Follow up, why are Mothis and Medeal trying to replace Echeros with the Titan King? Because they don’t like gods, have a vendetta against Echeros, and because Asna is the one with the mark of the cycle.
Why reincarnate the Titan King now? I… don’t actually have an answer for this one. Maybe to get un-cursed? We know Echeros cursed the 9 Mothis members and the Titans never to rejoin the cycle. Blue Eyes says Angert doesn't understand what it's like to be cursed so I think he was not cursed by Echeros which is very important for later. Mothis appears to want a new world with no gods. We are definitely missing a piece here explaining it all. Why send Angert to the Parksolians? Why wake up 1k years later? Why resurrect the Titan King? Echeros is gone, all the gods are gone, what new order are they still chasing? I don’t have a theory for this because, again, I feel like a piece is missing.
How did the mark of the cycle break in two? It most likely broke/was broken around the time of the Veilfall as that is approximately when Asna stopped being transferred into new bodies. Not because of the Veilfall, just around it. The fall of the Titans was from within, they melted into gold, it was about 1k years ago, and Asna died on her throne with the Mothis members then going into cryosleep in their “cocoons”. The mark could have broken then and half was given to or taken by the Saintess. The Saintess doesn’t remember and was told to stay in the cave Nikki found her in so there’s no details to really speculate on. I think Asna broke the mark herself to prevent whatever Mothis’s true plans are and to stop reincarnating since the toll on her soul was very heavy. Her people were also cursed and her whole original goal was to prevent the prophesied disaster. If it happened why keep reincarnating? Alternatively the mark broke more recently, perhaps 2-3 years ago when Medeal found the Saintess and founded Docilism.
How did Angert survive the soul transfer without the mark of the cycle? So this is crazy, absolute copium because I do not want him to be dead, but I think Echeros’ soul escaped or was never actually trapped and reincarnated as Angert. As in “White Sheep” is Echeros reincarnated without any of his memories/divine powers and that is why his soul was able to be transferred into a Parksolian body with no issues. I thought maybe Asna broke the mark and gave him half, or the Saintess broke it and he gave it to her after, but neither route go with the text very well. Asna died before Angert underwent the soul transfer, it says in game it only happened after Mothis reawoke. The Saintess herself has no memories, but she, then Nikki, are the ones in possession of the mark, not Angert. His soul transfer was also very likely before the 2-3 years ago theory involving Medael and the Saintess. Angert being Echeros’ reincarnation could also explain why “Black Sheep” had such a drastic change in views other than just that she's a mother now. Though Angert does talk about children being hope for a new world. Would a god being reincarnated as the child of the people who killed him to subvert the natural order to reinstate that order and thus bring hope back to people apropos for the story? Maybe! It would go with the cyclical theme. This could also maybe mean he’s still alive please oh my god please-
Anyway the TLDR of my theory is this: Echeros disappeared because Asna killed him and took his power leading to the Dragons then the Parksolians to shoulder his duty. Asna then broke the mark of the cycle to stop her own reincarnation and half went to the Saintess. Finally Angert, Mothis' child, is Echeros’ current incarnation, but without divine power or memories as he does not possess the mark of the cycle. Maybe we give it to him and that saves him and the cycle is reinstated, simply anything for him to not be dead!!!!
The real question is which anime gatcha game has the hardest designs to draw. I’d like to propose Arknights Endfield on account of their deceptively simple design for Camille that is making me suffer more than I have drawing Genshin, Star Rail, or Wuthering Waves characters.
This is harder than when I drew Nicole crew like ???? He’s in a suit you wouldn’t think this is difficult BUT!! He has armor on his gloves, multiple hard to see layers, a big zipper, rings, belts, the pauldron with the bats and arrows which is truly evil when you angle him, and his hair is absolutely wild! I have spent an inordinate amount of time finding references for all the details and I have him! In! The game!! I took pictures in the game!!! And it’s still very hard to draw!!!!!
Major respect for the game artists, they’re working so hard drawing these characters beautifully and consistently in multiple styles, perspectives, and poses for all of us to enjoy in game and cry over when we’re trying to make fanart
Cutscene of the Ringmaster’s introduction from Episode 1 of Whimsy SMP!
“While the arrival was a bit sudden confusing, the Ringmaster seemed genuine enough. A nervous yet kind man is a vast improvement from the undead creature I had to contend with minutes earlier. Honestly, the absurdity did wonders for the panic. I will admit, the magic was quite fascinating to see. I do hope the promise of… relative safety holds true. At the very least Ringmaster’s words holds none of the deception Nirvana’s often did. I can hold at least a little bit of hope for a new world, can’t I?”
Collect small astonishments. The first tomato of summer. A dog dreaming in its sleep. Someone laughing before they finish the joke. The moon arriving before the sun has quite departed. We keep waiting for life to announce itself with trumpets, but it has always preferred quieter instruments.
Commission for a second set of cutscene frames from @/mokicosplay for Avatar SMP! This was a lot of frames with half being smaller changes between frames than entirely new ones. I had a lot of fun with this having worked on both character designs at the beginning and a previous cutscene.
the horrors persist but so do books, art, hot chocolate, winter nights, the moon, the sea, the stars, sunsets, literature, libraries, cats, flowers, stories, love and the wistful feeling you get when you finally return home
