/// Blog is now defunct! Thanks for the fun times ^ ^
As all of you can guess, I won't be updating this blog anymore. But! Since it ended at such a confusing area, I'll fill on some gaps very quickly for you.
Quick things out of the way:
No, the blog won't be deleted.
Yes, I will stop updating this.
Yes, I will explain how the story ends as this post goes.
Yes, I have both positive and negative things to say. I'll leave it at the end of this post. Just skip if you don't care.
Time to close the curtain.
A. Story breakdown
The final arc was supposed to be the way I go out with a bang on this blog. I genuinely was going to end the blog after this story, but things didn't go the way I expected, so I'll briefly explain what was supposed to happen in text.
Do note it's been a while, so I kind of already forgotten lots of plot points:
Rahuel's fight with Annoyance would leave them even more broken apart than before, but they'd learn that violence doesn't solve anything and mulled over Annoyance calling him immature and pitiful. They will try to look at all this from a different perspective.
Depending on the asks, Raha will start to try more self introspection and realize slowly that they're getting what's coming to them. Unsure of what to do, they will try seek Blaze for the first time for advice, which they surprisingly get.
There will be a turning point in which they will start viewing their 'work' as a way to atone, and began to clean up earnestly. Finding diaries and relics left behind by their old kingdom and also various notes by Stephan (Sigma), and realizing how self centered and cruel they have been. Some people still believed in them, and they just overstayed the kindness and then decide to leave the kingdom to ruin by taking a 'vacation'.
After just mere weeks a lot of the rubble was actually cleaned out and habitable. Some piglins would genuinely approach to move in and would help cleanup, although they will be doing it more for themselves than Raha. A lot of mutual understanding were reached, and Raha slowly started to remember his Steven side and seems to slowly gravitate to an in-between, more stable state of both duality. Basically, they're starting to grow up and mature.
Unfortunately by this point they would be too weak and started to break apart. This is where Brian, Chimer, Riki, and Sigma will find him and help him. While Sigma could not repair the body anymore, he and Riki decided the safest method is to allow Raha to respawn as a Steve, and they had been fixing up a route for that to happen on the server backend, but lacked a crucial access that was the lava pools Raha was born from.
Blaze, seeing that Raha had changed and made efforts to better themselves, agreed for them to access the pool in which Raha's codes can be stabilized before respawn.
This and that happens, Raha respawns as a steve (If yall have seen 'Stevan' iin my main blog, he would look like that later) and lost his brine powers.
Some future storyline briefly will touch on Steven gaining some access to Blaze's fire magic and Brian's magic tattoos, allowing him to still use fire abilities, just not as strong as he used to. He will also be available for asks and can even help as NPC to others' stories.
...Yeah that's basically it. Honestly, I just wanted to get that out of my mind since I'd remember this blog once a while and would feel a bit blue, but honestly speaking...
B. Doeki complaining
...The fandom is dead and too much fandom infighting (on my circle's end) really soured the mood on my end. And while I know askblogging is a very minor hobby, I had expectations for the story collabs and fun events I planned/was part of. So when a lot of those expectations were not met and some planned things fall through, I felt like my efforts have gone to waste and the disappointment has never left me.
(No, I won't be naming names nor explain what infighting I meant. I also will be deleting any comments that questioned/mentioned said infighting. I don't need people to echo my disappointment nor discuss it. I just want to air out my frustrations and dip.)
On the other hand, I feel like while the story of this blog makes no fucking sense and is messy as hell for me, I really did enjoy it. I learned how to make better panels, better character body language, and overall a better grasp of shitty comic making from this blog.
I didn't expect Sigma's character development: his whole deal with Ann was a form of whump/friendship I crave in collab stories and it was a wonderful welcome, considering there was a point in time I didn't know what to do with him and considered killing him off because he lost his initial purpose.
I also really liked Steven's weird misadventure. He makes no sense. I feel like when I started, I really have this feeling of wanting to convey something, so a lot of the story he has felt very 'I pulled this out of my ass'-y and inconsistent with... whatever... moral I want to show, I guess. Honestly rereading parts of it, I think I was trying to write some sort of 'coming-of-age' story, but I failed to express what I truly want in the story?? Idk bro I didn't go to writing schools, I'm bad at this.
But deep in my heart, I'm just glad of the time I put here and the messy story that is MCSS. Mostly for me. As unpolished and messy and weird as this blog was, Stevan and Sigma holds a genuine special place in my heart from their earlier forms in 2013 and even now. I might just port Sigma and Stevan to Longinus or wait for another fandom that seems to suit their stay. (I always have certain checklists before porting OCs over. It's weird. For now, these two will be enjoying some nice fun time somewhere and getting a mini break in the deep recesses of my mind.)
So yeah. Been fun. This blog will totally stay up for my own enjoyment of reading back of some of the crazy shit I made for it, so if one day it disappears, it's... it's not supposed to. Jesus christ. Let's hope it won't.
But Imma go now. Here, have a mini non-canon scenario that I made with them.
You have people out there who miss you and are looking for you. Not exactly the "you" you are now, maybe not, but the "you" you made yourself when you could write your own story. I think there's still some left of that in you and I am telling you that you aren't as alone as you think.
There are people out there that love you.
More than you believe.
"...That would be great... if it were true."
"So far, everyone's been avoiding me and hurling insults at me. It's not easy to believe what you say, given everything that's been happening."
Odd question, but are you able to wear a helmet, or boots, in your state? They're the easiest armor to craft, and I heard a rumor that wearing gold is culturally symbolic to Piglins! Something along the lines of thinking that you're a merchant, or of high rank in their society, and they're less likely to attack you- maybe slapping on some gold accessories could help? It probably won't fly with any generals or their brutes, though.
"They must be building a new sort of culture in my absence... I've never known this before."
"I don't know why i gotta do all this extra mile just to talk. How high maintenance..."
(take ya time on this one, im just sending this so it's easier to find)
to steven: i got something for ya and ya stress there down in hell
*the sounds of a portal opening and closeing are heard with the shout of someone or smt saying* "W A R P Z O N E"
*and eventualy steve is meet with this*
a frog...mimicking his own aperence..
have fun down there!
"I- Is this another of Blaze's effort to make me suffer? Or maybe another bully tactic of some sort??"
They’re angry. And from what I’ve learned, they have every right to be. But I think you can’t just say that you’re sorry. You have to show them…somehow.
Perhaps trying to form truces with some of the Piglins would be a good start?
"They don't listen to me! They just beat me up everytime they see me and THEN steal my-- my things!! I mean, how can truce even be on the table if I couldn't even get ONE WORD in?!"
"They can't be reasoned withI! It's impossible, for Nether's sake!"
You look miserable. Do you want cookies to boost morale?
"...it seems that in my current... condition... 'eating food' doesn't really give me the energy I need to keep myself together."
"There's not much food to eat in the Nether to begin with, especially good tasting one. Nowadays, I just sleep near lava pools or fire sources to stay invigorated. I mean, it works better than burning food in my mouth."
