[sherbertquake56]

one of the goofy aah things about Midas Queue56 is that i truely just forced his block pallete--

do deepslate, quartz, & oak look good together? sure! but every day i think more and more that it's just cause i said "this looks good surely" and just committed

so i recently bought a book on Victorian flower language because i have been interested in it ever since the pelant arc on bones mentioned it.

after i bought it, i decided to look into some of the minecraft flowers that were in there, and realized that some of the sherb versions' favorite flowers had some really interesting meaning that was really coded, so i decided to write about a few of the most coded ones

Ashril: White Tulip

While the book did not mention specifically white tulips, tulips mean to declare your love, which would make sense with Ashril, who was the first Sherb version we saw with a healthy relationship, despite how it ended. All of this is not to even mention the whole funeral flower thing.

Icarus: Blue Orchid

Again, the book only mentions just orchids, but they mean wealth and beauty, with an emphasis on wealth, which does fit with the whole prince thing, plus the beauty does fit Isla, who was called orchid by Enderian.

Ripley: Chrysanthemum

This is the only that I scream about, because chrysanthemums mean condolences. AND YOU KNOW, RIPLEY IS THE ONE THAT LITERALLY DIED!!! (can you tell im normal about this)

Midas: Lily of the Valley

This is the one that I first looked at and made me want to look up all the other ones, because lily of the valleys mean return to happiness, which is what happened when Midas made the queue. And also the fact that they named their first companion after coming back from the worldport Lily makes me want to cry.

Strix: Lavender

This one I feal, as a person allergic to lavender, this one means distrust. This is so fitting for someone stuck in a game that is doing sketchy shit. Especially with the cursed rings and the eye and all of the missing texture all around. There is not a lot around them that they can trust.

that is all the ones that feel especially coded, there are also some that are a bit coded, and some that are completely wrong or not even close, but i just really wanted to talk about these because they are currently occupying so much of my brain space. i know they werent really meant to mean anything, but i just had to go feral over these. especially ripleys. i scream over theirs in particular

Idk why I enjoy drawing Midas but silly..anyway- have a rough sketch!

[lotus--pond]

yall ever think about Midas?

you ever think about them living vicariously through Icarus? Loving people they will never have? Wanting people they will never know? Having more memories of a family they're not even a part of? Not remembering their own father, who was good and who cared and who loved their family more than anything, but knowing Fable, in all of his awfulness? Knowing Rae and the other versions of him better than their own brother? Knowing other versions of themself better than they know themself? Knowing only to base their own world off of ones they've seen? How they have to relearn their favorite flower, color, and everything about themself?

Because I do. A lot.

first its candy, then its gum, then its bad, then its gone.

right now, its candy. its good, Midas feels good, its different but it feels good. everything is more colorful, more tasteful. sweeter. nicer.

then, its gonna be gum. the middle point. still sweet, just... something is missing. something changed, something is different, but in the wrong way. they could try to add more candy, but itll always become gum.

then its bad. the bubble bursts. the magic is gone. the sweetness disappears, replaced by a bad taste that lingers in Midas.

and then its gone. its gone completly, the aftertaste gone, leaving an empty husk of the god. or maybe freeing them from the weird mania for the better. or maybe both

[ya-boi-haru]

Just went an watched parts of the Mid-month challenge (for research purposes) you know what that means...

Analysis time!!! + a theory/fun concept!

(I feel normal about the guy!!!)

Ive spoken about how Midas never technically stopped being Quixis, so now I want to yap about their behaviour specifically.

When Midas was Quixis, they lived through Icarus, especially when they couldn't bring them in, i like to think Midas unknowingly picked up a few traits of his too.

Icarus' pattern of ignoring/denial is one of them, almost.

When seeing the decay/wack, Midas ignored it and checked on the people, but unlike Icarus, they eventually circled back, but they made sure the people were gone first. They even saw it it, and you can see them hesitate before going towards the competitors, making them go back to spawn.

Its not until theyre alone with Rael in the arena, they express concern and their anxieties.

But no time to dwell on it too much, they have elytra to hand out!

They've done this a couple times before (ignored the problem to assure the nation) and its sad that Midas is a bit performative.

They play the role of Fun Game Host, check on their builds, tease some choas, but as soon as they're alone, they let their worries show.

In a way I think its them being protective, but the nation obviously knows about it. Midas just hopes and prays the affects aren't like last time.

And the unknown is worse, because as Midas said, they're doing a good job! (And they are) so what could they possibly be doing wrong?

But left (almost) alone to work out how to keep things safe and in control to make sure multiple lives stay safe, with no real guidence or confirmation if they're doing the right thing or not... where has that story been heard before?

Which bring sme to a theory/concept:

I have no idea what Sherb is building up to in terms of lore, or if these are just considered connected one-shot type of things, but something fun could be:

Midas is unintentionally doing all of this.

Midas has to build the world up each time and itd be interesting if things like the decay was put into it without them realising.

When creating something, people usually tend to say that 'part of me went into this'

What if that was literally the case for Midas? They worry about the decay coming back so the decay is unintentionally coming back to the world, not the same, but there.

They miss their home, so the city looks like identical white buildings (like how things were in their world - I believe this is confirmed by Sherb?)

Part of Midas is going into the world genrrations, the good and the bad

Sherbertquake, you, your little guys and your acting, when I catch you-

no count :(

i am retiring, i no longer play on queue enough to keep up this bit, and i don't reckon i will be present in many future cycles . thank you all for feeding my silly little brain and going along with this bit i have - i genuinely never intended for it to become this much of a thing . but its silly and its goofy and funny enough i would not be as close friends with ash if it weren't for it . yeah thats right ash personwithoutaname Knows . has done since cycle 4 in fact (if you ask me the knowledge of the crafting table thief is how she ascended to godhood)

ANYWAY . how about one final count for the road huh ? :]

All Cycle Tables

1,481

OR 23 stacks and 9

your proof is going through every single end of cycle count and tallying it up . but a visualisation is

wow thats awsome . nothing suspiscious under the cut . promise :)

so yeah uh all of my posts are complete bullshit lies, the only thing thats honest is the allegation asks, i answered all of those honestly including the one where the anon got it right and everyone proceeded to ignore it... thanks for that!

yeah this one

surprise !! its your very fav !! i've had a weird number of gimmick blogs where i've revealed my identity in this past week to the shock and horror of the followers not knowing it was me (and thinking it was sage) and to that i say

kind of wild . anyway i don't apologise for the lies i spread and the groupchats i infiltrated and the tables i stole im keeping all of them

shout out to that one vod from cycle 1 where i stole rina's crafting table live on twitch dot tv forward slash sherbertquake56 . shout out to sage for being the first person who Knew cause i cannot keep secrets and unbeknownst to me at the time i am very homosexual . shout out to ash for being part of my web of conspiricies . i definitely didn't steal all those tables by hand especially in that one cycle i was Not Even There . and shout out to all the people who worked so hard to figure it out despite there being 0 reliable information anywhere and me hardly doing my own job !!

it was never fair for you, but it was never supposed to be

stay sneaky 🫡
