I'm about to make the time-line even more confusing: flight sausage has made a comment before about meeting a jester who was thrown in jail. Granted he could have been talking about someone else but I think flight sausage and bannerfall sausage are the same so idk
oooowugh ok the nightmare of timelining....
To be fair realistically the smartest timeline is in fact the real life one lmao but we gotta Overthink.
I do like to imagine that space and time in the minecraft universe is a bit Wonky and different people can experience events in different orders, which accounts for different characters and POVs saying things that in other POVs would be out of order lolll
"well how was I supposed to know that playing the "kill all trans people" videogame made by "the hitler for trans people" would make people think I'm transphobic? i didn't even buy it! i only gave it attention and platformed it for others because I wanted to finish the dogshit uninteresting story. It's not MY fault the IP owner now has 1 billion more dollars to donate directly to the systemic erasure of trans rights orgs and protections! I love trans people! I even reposted an "everyone deserves sunshine" video once in 2024!!!!"
before this one blows up any further I just want to state clearly that this was withmayx's response paraphrased when addressing the fact she streamed hogwarts legacy after a trans woman informed her it was wrong. only thing i didn't include was her laughing when saying sorry and her thinking she was getting """"cancelled"""" for unfollowing said trans woman on twitter. Also misgendering her the entire time

The Lukey tv timeline is something that will make you crazy I also have some ideas that I hope you don't mind me sharing
My belief is that banner falls came after flight mostly because how he acted when he got stuck. He gave his ticket to Tubbo so he could escape while leaving himself with no other way of leaving.. or did he? We know from flight that he can go to the null or void at will now but he is not comfortable in his abilities while on banner falls he looked rather sure of himself and how to escape being more comfortable with his abilities after being in a school that is basically is about that
House Heir seems to be more behind since he seems to be actively searching for the null it's like he doesn't know where it is or how to access it or seems to having a hard time to use it to the full potential and efficiency also seems to still hold some kind of uncomfortable feeling within too still traumatised with it while on the banner and flight he 100% sees it as a safe space
With other stuff I am more in a question mark but in Cobblemon for example he was worried about the obsidian being corruption he had on the realm so in my head it's probably
Realm > house Heir > Cobblemon > flight > banner
And then there are other stuff that I still don't know how to fit in the timeline correctly but yeah
Ooooooh ok I like some of these interpretations.. I think it depends a lot on the angle u look at it from cause this makes more sense if u look at it specifically from the Null power/control angle, and I feel like my timeline is more based on personality and emotional throughline...
I can definitely see Bannerfall being a bit later.. in my head it's definitely After he's figured out the going in and out the Null but Before he's like, super super confident about it. But he's still overconfident so he kinda still put himself at a bit of risk there lol. But I can see it being a bit later than that when he's had time to get very comfy with doing it, and actually with the Freddy thing if we want to take that somewhat seriously (he can send people to a Null pocket briefly with. something scary in it lol) then that's a new power!
House Heir is an interesting one and I'm defo rethinking my positioning of it cause it kinda felt initially to me that it was after a long time not having been to the Null, so a Long time after Realm, and suddenly realising he could get back to it. But now that we've seen more things where he's definitely more confident going to the Null it feels more like it could be waaaay closer to the Realm, maybe after not having gone there at all since the Realm...
"(which, alongside yuri, having been picked up as The Words for queer stuff right now is really. Interesting to me in certain ways but I wont go into my thoughts on that in this ask though it is sort of related)"
curious what the context to this was if your willing to share your thoughts...?
Sure!
Bit of etymology first. So, yaoi and yuri don't mean 'gay love' and 'lesbian love'. In fact, they're not even complimentary terms to each other.
Yaoi is a portmanteau of 山なし、落ちなし、意味なし (yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi), which means 'no climax, no point, no meaning'. It came about as a sort of ironic way to refer to self published works (doujinshi) that focused on male/male content that just focused on sexual content, with no interest in story, narrative, or character. It is specifically associated with male/male content written by and for women for titillation, not so much story, in a kind of self-deprecating way. Yuri, meaning 'lily', came about in relation to female/female romance stories as a counterpart to Bara ('rose') referring to male/male romance stories, which stems from the first real gay-media-focused Japanese magazine being called Barazoku (sort of 'rose tribe'). It does have a more specific usage towards very beefy, masculine gay men, whereas BL (boy's love) is a more general term nowadays.
So they don't literally mean queer couples in the way they're commonly used in western conversation, they're moreso genre labels. They were adopted when the english-speaking audience began getting into anime generally and did become more of a general terms for those configurations of queer relationships over here somewhat.
Over the past few years those terms have escaped anime fandom almost entirely. You'll see people talking about real people, Minecraft streamers, live-action TV, films, original characters, basically anything. 'Yaoi' has stopped meaning 'this specific genre of Japanese media' and has become shorthand for 'two guys with any sort of romantic or sexual tension'.
And I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily! Language changes all the time, and queer people use the words jokingly too. What I find interesting is the way it's being used in the MCYT space.
The use of 'yaoi' I think is allowing people to turn the concept of queerness into a genre label rather than actually adressing the topic of queerness and queer stories. They're not doing something queer or acting gay, they're 'doing yaoi', it's own, marketable little thing. It creates a bit of distance between the actual concept of queer people existing and what they're doing.
That's kinda what I'm noticing in the MCYT space. Creators aren't really talking about queerness as an identity or as relationships between actual people, they're 'doing yaoi'. It's almost a euphemism, or a seperator, or an abstraction. They can keep it being a joke.
I don't think using the word 'yaoi' caused any of this, obviously. It's more that I think the word becoming so widespread is a symptom of an attitude where queerness is profitable and marketable to these streamers, but still a joke, and still something they want to seperate themselves from the reality of. So utilising a foreign word where the meaning is obscured for most people and it just Sounds Different allows them to keep that distance. It sounds fictional.
Compare 'they're being gay' versus 'it's yaoi', you know? They don't feel like they're talking about the same thing.
And also I kinda think it's funny and I don't think anyone who isn't also familiar with the origin of the word experiences this lmao but to me. when a streamer says something like 'we're doing yaoi together' what I hear is literally 'we're doing gay porn together' LMAO

Yeah ... It doesn't help that he has a high tolerance for shit and mirrors those around him. And if his irl friends and older relatives have less queer positive attitudes towards things that just adds on and re-enforces that gay is a joke.
Get him back on the Realm with a queer positive environment to mirror and self improve. (And maybe make a few other changes on twitch side but I won't say who in this ask)
mm I don't even know if it's so much people irl (which we can't rly say much on cause we don't know anything) but the attitudes online. Cause right now doing 'yaoi' (which, alongside yuri, having been picked up as The Words for queer stuff right now is really. Interesting to me in certain ways but I wont go into my thoughts on that in this ask though it is sort of related) is an extremely profitable and successful angle for male streamers in the minecraft space. Cause make no mistake they play into and play up the gay jokes for their audience for money lol.
But it's not in a manner where it's treated seriously. They're able to play into it in a joke format (which works for a lot of them cause to them, being queer Is a joke to them and Is a silly concept, so it's funny to them, but enough of a pull to their queer audiences that it also brings in income, and they can take it not too seriously whilst still profiting). Being gay is, to put it in simple terms, a very profitable joke to make.
And eeeeeverybody is doing it. You can't watch a minecraft stream without someone making a gay joke to one of their friends. Which is.. fine, but the way it's being treated as Exclusively a joke has been off to me for a while.
I don't know what it was about the Realm, but it's the only server so far where I've actually seen relationships in general but particularly queer and nonstandard relationships portrayed in a Serious light. There were still jokes being made, but they were still treated as serious story elements that affected the characters, and still treated with a level of respect that you don't see in most of the way the concept of a streamer/their character being queer is treated in general nowadays. And the Flight also seems to have this going on, which is nice, though I haven't watched enough relevant POVs to fully comment on that element. Perhaps because they're more specifically leaning towards roleplay and persistent story moreso than the loose idea of 'fun and content' you see in other SMPs, so people are forced to take it more seriously?
But anyway to circle back to the point, to Everyone it is a joke, and they All know and acknowledge this. Being gay is a bit to bring in money and viewers. And that's the current environment and landscape that Pangi appears to be leaning into and adapting to, at the cost of leaning more and more into queerness being a Funny Bit. And he's a straight guy, so he probably doesn't particularly identify this or care. He's just doing what everyone else is. Cause god knows nobody else would treat it seriously either.
And when Everyone they watch is treating is as a funny joke, ofc chat follows along, as as chat is wont to do, push it further and further until it's Way Too Far. At which point the mods should be there to reel them back but. Well. You Know How That Is In Pangi Chat.
This is why I've been saying I want Pangi on another roleplay server and was so excited for him on Flight (rip)! Stuff like LS, LSW, CSMP etc are fun but as a Stories Guy I can see how he is when he really tries to work on a character and his interactions with others based on that story and it's not perfect but he really does work well with it. But those things don't bring in revenue, not compared to the big event servers and LS. And it is his job so I do know where he has to focus but.......
Idk. Sorry this is such a ramble but this is something that's bothered me in the minecraft creator space for a while now so I'm getting my feelings out lol.
isn’t it kinda annoying asf that Pangi has allowed his chat to become so homophobic and rude. Like if you guys have been seeing the reactions to that image he posted and like just the way they treat him and queerness so publically it’s actually crazy to me. Like it genuinely puts me off interacting with his content at this point which is so unfortunate.
this skin is so cutieee !!!
the collection I made for LifeSteal SMP is out !!! it is my pride and joy
I had full artistic freedom, so I tried to go all really tried to make something interesting!
btw my current Headcanon Lukey Timeline is:
realm > bit > bannerfall > cobblemon > househeir
the gaps between them aren't consistent, there's a longer gap between bf + cobblemon
he also drops in on pvp worlds and stuff at random between those times :)
oh also the pangkey shared health is between bf and cobblemon! closer to bf tho
I've been trying to consider where flight falls on this timeline and I can't decide honestly... I'm thinking it feels like it could be post house heir? with the Lore at the end of house heir all connecting to the Null then from that going in to somewhere with such a major connection between himself and the Null again after being so separated from it but in a way where it feels like the realm is now something so far in the past to him and he's sort of relearning how to be connected to it...
but also also I feel like it could be between bannerfall and cobblemon considering where bannerfall ended with him going into the Null then (at least in my head lol) coming out of it into flight... and now he's in the stage of learning to utilise the power of the Null in more complex ways than he did in the realm but still not so confident with it like he might be later. and having searched for a world that also carries the corruption to carry out his plan of destroying it elsewhere...
idk does anyone have any Beautiful Thoughts out there
