Now, at this point you might have picked up on the fact that I really like Lifesteal. Aside from 3rd Life, it’s probably my favorite Minecra
this is 22k words long and took me... five months to write! if you have ever wanted to see my very soul and beating heart bared to you through drawn out minecraft roleplay analysis, that is now a service i offer!
I think Barrier Blocks should be mandatory reading for all lifestealers, particularly the part about Play and what it is.
Unproductive, Free, Separate, Uncertain, and Governed By Rules or Make Believe
Because this is the fundamental core of what made lifesteal lifesteal, something that they instinctually knew, something that came from the fact that all of them were tiny content creators at the start so it was not all "work" yet, something that governed the simultaneous seriousness and nonseriousness in regard to "right" and "wrong" actions taken by the players.
Mer explains and quotes scholarly articles far better than a little summary post by me could. But I have always found it fascinating how lifesteal is both a place of Play and a place where work (videos) are created. How there is a pendulum swing where s3 felt more like Play than Work while now the pendulum is closer to Work than Play as there is less free time post-highschool and more weight to the success of the videos.

Happy new year! For the new year, I’m going out of order until I can competently write parts 4 and 5. In the meantime, have some Technoblade. This is the final part of Zone 2′s main arc, so have fun with that info. Until next time! -ThomasThePencil

Heya peeps! So, I did a collab with @barrier-blocks-au on a side sprite that they wanted me to do, and soon enough they volunteered to make this song! This is the official Heartache replacement of Soulswap, and the official motif for Susan as of right now. For some reason I can’t add it to the playlist ‘Soulswap OST’, but eh, you get what you get. Either way, have this song, made by ThomasThePencil, a.k.a. @barrier-blocks-au. Seriously. Read Barrier Blocks. It’s actually a really good crossover of Undertale + Minecraft (the YouTubers who PLAY Minecraft, not the characters OF Minecraft).
Minecraft has 26 paintings. They’re a unique part of the game’s character, one of those things like C418 (and now Lena Raine)’s music, or Ju
do you like minecraft roleplay? do you hate minecraft roleplay? do you not understand minecraft roleplay? do you think that you do understand minecraft roleplay? have you ever argued about it on the internet? i have the perfect long, niche, extremely passionate blog post just for you. right here. right now
From The Passion by Jeanette Winterson, but, more importantly, from Mer's Barrier Blocks:
Thinking about it in relation to Spoke's video
Hey! I was recommended your essay by a friend and I think it really captures why MCYT rp is such a unique format of content!
What I was wondering is if you knew about Mianite and were planning on talking/mentioning it concerning how it shaped said format? (I say as a Mianite fan who thinks the series needs more love and acknowledgment)
Anyways, whether you did(/do/don't), thank you for writing that essay, and I look forward to reading whatever comes next.
hi, thank you! :D
and YES!!!! i am familiar with mianite, and will probably get into it at some point in reference to both the history of streamed mcrp and its use of both player/pov characters & npc characters (who are played by a team of writers/admins... and only communicate through text in contrast to the streamers as player characters... it turns out this format continues to be wildly successful). i have wayyyyyyyy more to say about what streaming does to the format of mcrp than i could fit into the introduction.
mianite is probably the minecraft roleplay i was most invested in as a kid. some of the things it does are still super memorable to me even though it's been probably at least 4 or 5 years since i last rewatched it... for example, i can only describe the following images as Sick as hell:
