I just watched statesmp, and it really reminded me how minecraft roleplay is one of my favorite media to engage with, and why it's my favorite game of all time.
You can quite literally do anything. From improv roleplay, to full on movies and tv shows, to just making a story around the things you build. It's been around since the beginning of the game.
you can just do a regular letsplay and build a story from it, entirely by yourself
you can join an smp with your friends, and tell a story by just goofing off, improvising scenes
you can make it cinematic, write scripts and make props
Minecraft, the game itself, the stories that come from it, etc, it's all testament to the human spirit. The game allows us to show off our creativity, our passion, sadness, resilience, joy, etc in a way that few other games are able to do (no shade roblox)
LOOK at all these things that PEOPLE just like you and i did.
It's a game where if you can dream it, then you can make it happen. even the minecraft movie, as corny and horrible as it is, tells us the same thing.
even the fans of these series, the ones who make fanart, music, writing, they are making that same thing happen
there's countless stories and creators i wish I could add to these screenshots, but here's a small few
it's seriously an underappreciated art, and I will always hold a very special place in my heart for it
