Honestly these kinds of drawings are so relaxing. It started with me just doodling while listening to the Shut Up I’m Talking (patreon $7!!) and I decided I wanted to make a drawing out of it.

Anw. It’s his oc y’all !!

Tommy said on his recent alt stream that he always wished he couldve done a different ending for ctommy, and when jack went live on the smp he realized he could..

(timestamp- 49:00)

"I logged on Jack's stream, did that, stood in my cupboard, and was like, ‘Fuck, man. I just wish I could've ended it differently-’ and I was like- ‘OH I can! Right now !!’ And then I legged it back to my computer, wrote a few notes, and was like, ‘Okay, c'mon Tom, fuckin' lock in, man.’ ... Yeah, I was really happy with that."

"... It didn't even really make that much canonical sense to go to Techno's house, I just needed Jack to know without me saying anything that I was, fuckin', being really serious in-character."

"... Yeah, it was nice, I was really happy. I always had that ending in my head, like imagining that the alt ending was that he had a little cottage. So I liked it- I was like, ‘Yeah! This is fuckin' canon, man.’ ... It meant a lot to me- It really meant a lot to me! You ever like, be clearing through your bedroom and you find a toy that you forgot, fuckin' meant the world to you, then you're holding it and you're like, ‘Oh, shit. This is so important, right now I've remembered about this.’ That's what it was like doing the cottage- I was like- I got to be a tiny bit c!tommy and I was like, ‘This is fuckin' important to me, lets fuckin' finish-! This is the most important thing right now!’"

thinking about the dream smp again... :-(

[no-more-dead-dogs]

isn't it crazy that so many people came together and created such a perfectly finely tuned web of interlocking narratives and stories and relationships and so many people around the world who never would have talked to each other came together in joy and excitement and for two years my dash was full of the most incredible fanart i've ever seen and the most heartbreaking pieces of fanfiction in the world and now i have to act embarrassed when i talk about it because some of the creators were shitbags?

[jinxpologist]

i literally opened my computer to do fan studies research. thank you for the fucking gold mine holy shit

[jinxpologist]

also i feel the need to emphasize that this is not an ordinary article, this looks like a dissertation. this is years of research. what the fuck

[unnamed-mhc-student]

ok throwaway sideblog for purposes of not doxxing myself but hi i actually go to mount holyoke and this was someone’s senior thesis! I reached out to them the first time this made the rounds on MCYTblr (last year)

i dont think they still have access to their institutional email bc otherwise i might let them know that they’ve made it to tumblr again.

but yeah no this person spent their entire senior year at minimum writing this thing. it’s rly good and it’s also an incredible experience to read shit like this in an academic paper:

[jinxpologist]

THAT'S CRAZY OMG SOMEONE DID ALL THIS FOR A BACHELOR'S? lord i commend them. thank you for clarifying, this is. crazy levels of research and effort

and since this is actually my field of study i wanted to say that there are a lot of academic papers like this!!!! the field of fan studies is small but thriving and is SO much fun :D

a journal i hold very near and dear is Transformative Works and Cultures, a completely open-access journal that publishes stuff like this:

all of which are brilliant articles that i recommend searching for on the website
