more of mcc16 green’s dysfunctional family dynamic if you want (Oli and RT holding onto each other for dear life while Sapnap and Sylvee argue) - @strifesolution

ah yes, the dysfunctional family in mcc 16

[riacte]

ria martyn's lord title is martyn moneymaker and he later went on to be renchanting's marketing manager and brought him business WHAT DOES IT MEAN-

At least he’s not like Martyn Kingslayer—

Martyn Moneymaker. Marketing Manager. Martynmanager. *shakes Martyn* this means something!!!

Purple15 is literally Blue9 and Pink9’s baby with a dash of 3rd Life. We’re getting the underdogs story, laddies.

if the answer isn’t spoilery, what would RK’s opinion on martyn’s overlooker/deity/“voice” be? if they hypothetically knew of each other’s existence -@strifesolution

unfortunately, i think the answer is kind of spoilery, other than that rk definitely knows about the voices (plural. there's at least two, maybe three depending on how you count it). he definitely knows.

also fluffy if you want to spoil the specific... relation... here, then you can! i'm just not gonna. :)c

overcomplicated niche and close-to-my-heart xeph&strife lore gang rise UP give us the deets op - @strifesolution

me: ask about my xephos and strife lore

anyone: asks

me: oh fuck oh shit-

heads up a lot of this was made in conjunction with @chaotic-solutions because we never shut up about yogscast so like. go follow them this is a threat.

CW: a lot of talk about depression and addiction because blood magic is Bad

but basically i am very adamant about alien strife and xephos, and the fact that strife went to college with sips is incredibly funny and under appreciated. i feel many different emotions about them being a dumb college trio.

so strife and xephos were roommates in college who started dating like, probably their sophomore year, and sips was their mutual friend that lived a few doors down and was in strife’s Evil Corporate Overlord class. (it wasn’t actually even called that, it’s literally just a business course. calling it that is an old joke between them that stuck even if no one gets it)

Very unfortunately for everyone involved, mid sophomore year is also when Strife started to get really into blood magic. The thing about how I hc blood magic is like, not only is it morally fucked up as hell, but it’s also incredibly bad for you. No matter how careful you think you’re being your blood isn’t even your own anymore, replaced with witches’ and villagers’ and it might make you powerful but it’s cold, feels alien beneath your skin, and quitting is nearly impossible. your altar is what sustains you, keeps you alive even if it leaves you feeling dead on your feet, and it always wants more. im getting long winded but my point is blood magic fucks with you.

it’s nearly a year before strife tells xephos that he can’t live like this anymore. he’s tried to quit and he can’t and it hurts, letting his altar run dry makes his blood feel like it’s boiling and there’s no way out. and xephos tugs him in close and kisses his forehead and tells him that they’ll find a way.

they can’t exactly just look into it, blood magic isn’t the most talked about thing, much less how to quit it, but if there’s one thing the yogs can fall back on its explosives. and sips is good with them, too, because listen i KNOW the meta reason why they had red matter is because sjin spawned it in but the idea that sips accidentally made a wormhole-creating hell explosive is the funniest shit to me. but long story short they blow up strifes altar and it hurts, it hurts like hell but for once the magic isn’t pressing in on him, begging for him to hurt someone, and such a relief that he almost forgets that he feels like he’s dying.

there’s a solid two weeks of recovery, the first of which had everyone genuinely worried that strife might be dying, being cut off from his altar, but he’s fine. he feels like shit, but he’s fine.

(A really similar sequence of events happens with parv post-blood and chaos which i WILL go off about if literally anyone would like to know)

from then on they’re pretty much in the clear for the rest of college being dumb kids trying to graduate, as strife recovers from all of That.

that is, you know, until xephos crashes his ship on minecraftia during his flight school final and is presumed dead.

strife and sips do try to stay friends, but the only person strife’s developed a close relationship with just vanished into thin air and xephos going missing sends sips spiraling into a depression that leads to him dropping out and running off to minecraftia to start a fucking dirt business. strife finishes college alone and gains 1000 more trust issues and functions pretty much on his own until solutions in chaos.

and listen, i know the plot is that xephos sent parvis to strife to learn minecraft, but i see your canon and throw it into a lake, doing as i please. jaffa factory happens (which again. i disregard canon and sips and xephos’ meeting went much differently) and sips mentions to xephos at some point when strife solutions is starting that strife’s setting up a business on planet and xephos goes to see him and they do all the mushy reunion stuff that makes my heart melt. they aren’t a romantic thing anymore at any point after college because they’ve both pretty obviously moved on, but they are best fucking friends and having someone familiar around is comforting for both of them.

hey. whats some of your alien strife headcanons. like, any lore behind the fanon glowy green thing?? everyone has different interpretations and i love hearing all of them!! if u wanna ofc... ( — @strifesolution )

LOL TT . I typed this whole ass reply but it got deleted. 

I basically follow that rip-off Homestuck hemospectrum-esque idea that circulated in 2015? I like the idea of nodes along with the freckles, too, but that manifests more in writing than any of my art, nothing too extreme, though.

Really big into the idea of it not being Immediately Noticeable, hence why I really don’t give him any other traits bar the freckles and the luminescent blood (elf ears and tails and shit, beside it being a dead giveaway, they’re just not fun for me to draw, lol) A lot of the shit I choose is just indulgent for me and picking what’s visually pleasing-- contrast with the highlighter green on dark red is sooo nice. 

I really love seeing other interpretations, too, even if I do tend to fall back on my boring ones, lol. A lot of potential there with Business Boy Backstory, love when people go buck fucking wild. I’m just super vanilla, lol.

(grabs you) (affectionately) tell me your thoughts on rt and spiff’s dynamic (specifically in crime au because of that comic but i will also accept anything abt them)

- @strifesolution

Kaheiehekwheh alright then

if you’re asking crime AU….

In the AU itself RT and Spiff have a little rivalry with one another. Especially since Spiff’s role is higher than RT. They would tease one another, they would flirt with one another, they would insult one another, they would compete with one another. Sometimes they were true, sometimes they were joking. They both got dirt on the other and will try to find something that make them fall.

Spiff and RT are the kind of duo that made you question are they actually friends, enemies, or something else. They would protect one another yet would also love to see the other fall on their ass bc they trip on their own feet.

They never say it but they enjoy each other company. Maybe there are days where they are a bit more annoyed by the other’s actions, but in general they enjoy the company and the entertainment it brought them. They would never wish the other to fully be at agony.

But it the end, friendships doesn’t matter with whatever truth revealed. One way or another you’d lose it, sooner and later.
