homosexuality does not even begint to describe the behavior these men are exihibibiting
oh blorbo from my shows? haha yeah man i love that guy. i hope something terrible happens to him in front of his loved ones that he barely survives and i get to watch.
you guys have got to go check out this fic inspired by @theminecraftbee 's "this is about a stuffed bird"— it's gorgeously written, 2/6 chapters and they're coming out very quickly. gut punch after gut punch. do mind the tags, but if you like joe hills and/or zombiecleo you will LOVE IT, the character voice is impeccable
PSA!! DO NOT SCROLL PAST!!!
this is a public safety announcement regarding one of our community members
i really needed to bring this to the community's attention bc this behavior can't go on for any longer. @droidofmay is not texting me back. im tired of lying to you all . putting on a happy face when the truth... the truth is burning in my soul
if you are in mcyt fandom dontlet this go un.. unaccountabled.
TIME NIXIE HAS SUFFERED SO FAR: 26 minutes plus 9 minutes whatever that is idk im not a math major
Ignoring the ethics of boundaries or the morals of limiting creative expression or anything else, setting rules about what people can and can't do with your characters just doesn't work. It cannot and will not accomplish what you want, and it will create a bunch of new problems.
Theoretical goal of banning things you find uncomfortable as a CC:
Bad things you don't like will stop being made and existing about you/your character.
Actual outcomes of banning things you find uncomfortable as a CC:
Bad things you don't like will Still Exist.
Subsets of your community will harass & abuse other fans. Trolls will make upsetting bait content that devoted fans feel a duty to engage with & fight against. Well-intentioned fans who don't know the rules exist will break them and get yelled at. People will arbitrarily interpret rules to bludgeon other fans' headcanons & send hate campaigns after each other. This WILL happen, no matter how many times you caveat with 'but don't harass anyone': You have issued an edict whose only enforcement mechanism is harassment.
Some of the fans who are most viciously defensive of your rules will still create stuff you find uncomfortable. Life finds a way. If you ban peanut butter, the fandom will create a series of intricate excuses as to why ground peanuts with sugar added is totally a different thing, and moreover how dare you imply they would break boundaries. The stuff you dislike won't stop being made, it will just be mislabeled and harder to avoid.
Artists will inevitably make cool shit that technically breaks your boundaries but Is Cool. Engaging with it will get that artist harassed for ignoring your boundaries (even if you say this one is fine).
Less people will engage with your work. You will have a smaller audience and much more limited free advertisement.
Everyone following the rules will create a constant need for judgment about things at the edge of your comfort zone. 'Ask for permission' means you have given yourself a part-time job arbitrating to strangers on whether it's okay to draw you mad at another minecraft guy.
More earnestly: By and large the people who are most online, who take boundaries seriously and actually care about seeking permission, are teens and very young adults. That's who you're setting rules for and telling that they can't depict certain things. The kinksters and smut writers and grown-ass adults are generally going to be unaffected, because their self-esteem doesn't hinge on the approval of a Twitch streamer.
Genuine question: Do you want to have to stare at an ask on Tumblr and consider whether to give permission for some 14-year-old to write a fic about your character self-harming or having cancer or being sexually assaulted? To say yes or no, while knowing that this person is probably asking not out of prurient interest, but because it makes them feel a little less alone to imagine an older, stronger character going through what they are?
That is the actual effect of setting those rules.
(The better boundary, btw, is 'I don't want to see things that make me uncomfortable': it's still not perfectly enforceable unless you entirely abstain from the internet, but it is much more actionable than 'make that stuff stop existing'. Having a dedicated 'don't look' tag blocked solves a lot of problems. Another strategy would be letting friends/trusted fan-acquaintances vet the best work and send it to you to gush about, rather than scrolling your tags at random.)
At some point if you tell stories in a public setting, people will want to pick up and play with those characters too; if you can't handle that (and a lot of people can't, this is not a value judgment) then the role of 'professional public storyteller' may not be for you.
............i feel like we're missing the entire point that you shouldn't be seeing your own pro work's fanwork because of the huge fucking legal mess you're inviting
every author who was on their own mailing list had fanworks labeled so they could filter them out. and even that was toeing the line.
i am dead serious, the correct answer to that hypothetical ask if you've gone pro is "i cannot discuss that with you"
like i'm not even sure why you're creeping on your own fandoms when HOLY SHIT LAWSUITS. don't do that in the first place.
and if you're wondering about the underlying issue, i borrowed a phrase and Red for Pleasure's official stance is "I do not discuss porn with minors." (the people i discuss porn with, when you see us, are those i have known for so long they *cannot* be minors.)
So partly, I didn't mention that because this is an argumentative essay, and that's just demonstrably not a very compelling argument. Creators are willing to risk the ire of Disney by recreating Revenge of the Sith in Minecraft; they are definitely not going to be convinced by the risk that a random fic writer might sue them.
(And tbh, they're probably right not to be scared. The actual history of lawsuits around creators allegedly 'stealing' fanwork/ legal liability around interacting with fanwork is extremely low/unsuccessful, even for authors and creators published in traditional mediums with concrete evidence of theft. And I am talking about fandoms based on Minecraft SMPs, which frequently and obviously borrow from their fandoms and fans without consequence.)
Also quite frankly I don't think going from 'Creators so enmeshed in their fandoms they get to dictate fanwork content like the god-kings of their domain' back to 'Creators so terrified of lawsuits they cannot Look At A Fanart, lest they be drawn and quartered' is that much healthier of a relationship.
oh sweetheart.
oh darling.
that's not what i meant at all.
and i didn't say any of that..... at all. *grins*
please come back when you understand what the legal consequences actually *are*. because you're making assumptions just like OP and it's not based on reality.
the thing is, social media reality is not the actual real world. you think i'm making shit up to scare the kiddies? holy shit. lol. if you want to screw up your fans, that is the QUICKEST way to do that.
and dude. i can have a relationship with someone without looking at their hobby. they're worth more to me than that. that's a false dichotomy you're presenting. creative communities are more than that.
i think @dduane had the best summary; however please don't bother them directly bc they've had a very difficult time of it.
hey are you high or something
my most consistent personal minecraft worldbuilding is that the players are a species in and of itself. there is no classification of hybrids or whatnot, only “players” and “mobs”. the player is not born so much as they come into existence with a skin that they just happen to have or they choose themselves. there are certain descriptors for skins like a steve skin or a crayon skin, but a crayon skin can have variation all the way from a single featureless block of colour or a fully dressed figure in varying shades of that colour.
but while you come to be with a skin, you cannot always choose how your skin evolves—the skin evolves with the story, and the legend. known for their fighting skills they grow claws and teeth. known for their redstone more and more parts of their bodies become mechanical. known for their flying, the carapace of a beetle forms on their back, ready for an elytra to be equipped. crystal pvp-ers start retaining golden cracks across their skins from various totem pops. a vicious player grows horns, a tyrant finds they can no longer remove the crown on their head. a skin is a blank slate until the story imposes itself on the player.
CONVEX
anyways minecraft as a storytelling medium whether intentional or not forever and always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“X!” Gem shouts over the speakers, tearing herself away from a conversation with Grian and Pearl to catch Xisuma’s eye from across the room. That’s unfortunate, as Xisuma’s sort of focused on keeping Evil Xisuma away from anyone he can corner about cryptocurrencies. “X— Xisuma— good lord, who put this on, does Etho have the aux, why are we playing Earth, Wind & Fire— we’re out of food! I’m calling in that favor!”
Xisuma’s not exactly sure what the purpose of this party is. He’s here to be supportive, and also to encourage Evil X to be sociable with maybe a little less of the crimes and psychological terrorizing, and so— he supposes he doesn’t need to know the reasoning behind the red and silver streamers and the Bundt cake and the charcuterie board, and the gaggles of mutual friends crammed into Gem’s apartment? It’s all got a reason, most likely. Gem’s a focused person.
He says, “Er,” and then, to be polite, “Right, of course, I can do that. I’ll just pop over to the shopping center, yeah?”
“Uh, sure, that works! You haven’t been drinking, right?”
Xisuma’s as sober as he’s ever been. Though if he’s being especially honest, after what Evil X has put him through tonight, he doubts anyone could blame him if it drove him to drink.
Some sort of barely seasonally appropriate song about Santa Claus and serial murder drowns out what he tries to yell back next. Xisuma settles for nodding thoroughly.
“Hey, and try to grab something that like, suits the occasion?” Gem adds, ducking Pearl’s casual punch to her shoulder and fiddling with the portable disco ball on the table. “Like, if you can find something! Cookies, I don’t know!”
“What occasion?” Xisuma calls back, confused, and Gem stares at him like he’s crazy for a moment. Then Grian says something Xisuma doesn’t catch, and she is distracted into dumping her drink on him, and Xisuma winces and figures he’ll just give it his best guess.
He’s on his way out when he notices Evil X showing Zedaph something on his phone, and oh, dear, that’s a bad combination for a party when select individuals might be feeling scientific or whimsical. The fire department made themselves very clear after the last incident, across the street. As did some local tax authorities, as a matter of fact. Xisuma makes a mental note to check on Scar before the end of the night. But first—
“That’s it,” says Xisuma, taking Evil X by the back of his collar and simply plucking him out of the conversation to tug him along. “You’re coming with me.” He won’t deny this is largely motivated by the desire for company; Evil X might be quite a handful at the best of times, but Xisuma is fond of him nonetheless, and he is very experienced at weathering whatever nonsense Evil X has most recently decided to get up to.
“I am not— coming with you, you buffoon,” Evil X protests furiously, “I am in the middle of a conversation—”
Xisuma pays this no mind. “My truck’s out front,” he says cheerfully. Luckily he thought to move it out to street parking before the guests started arriving, so he won’t have trouble getting out.

cowritten with @droidofmay — my second piece for the @mcytblrholidayexchange , a gift for @justglacier12 !!!!!
Bdubs shudders. He didn’t know he could hurt this bad. Or, shit, maybe he knew, but he’d— he’d—
It’d been a long time.
Life on Hermitcraft is— bright. Easy. Doesn’t rain, usually, on Hermitcraft, not unless they’ve got it in their twenty-five heads to let it, by unanimous vote. (Or unless Xisuma makes a mistake. Bdubs loves the guy and so he will say this lovingly: his dear old admin Xisumavoid’s just full of mistakes. Heh. It’s charming.) A world for building, and for court cases thrown up on the big screen which are entirely true-to-life and verdicts decided absolutely justly with no mind paid at all to view counts except incidentally, he’ll have his audience know— a world for redstone geniuses such as himself, and for playing games with his friends.
Hard to believe a player could hurt this bad, after such a long time on Hermitcraft where Xisuma doesn't let that happen to them— hard to wrap his brain around it, shit, shit shitshitshit Judas Priest oh god. Hard to believe a universe that loves could let a player hurt this bad. Hah. You feel the touch of the universe that loves every time you respawn, right, you’re a player, you’re here to play the game— play, and play, and play till you’re done, whenever that is, and that’s up to you, right? Bdubs figures you gotta just know in your bones when you’re done, not that he’s ever stopped to wonder about it very much; that time ain’t coming around for him anytime soon— the universe loves you enough to catch you, when you die. Bring you back. Notice your breath, respawn in the long dream—
You could put a whole lot of suffering in between one respawn and the next, though. You could put an eternity there. He drinks in a gasp of air, and it’s cold enough in his lungs to hurt.
He’s on a bed, soft wool dyed black in a— alright, it’s a cell, emphasized by the fact it doesn’t even have a freaking door, but it’s decorated more like a fancy hotel room. This admin’s got a taste for luxury. Lots of the mean ones do, so that figures.

The case of Hermitcraft v. Goodtimes, McGrian’s H.C. (Season 10), Bdubs’ Court of Law, held at a reasonable time with reasonable, calm-minded players who certainly do not already have a verdict in mind on account of what happened to the shopping district.
The court calls GoodTimesWithScar to the stand.

an ENTIRELY truthful testimony, yes. scar would NEVER tell a lie on the witness stand...

Sorry, Grian, but the fanciest thing Mumbo owns is that suit.
