what are your favourite and/or most gay couriberg moments iyo
uhhh one of my top fav moments will always be that they shared a bed in the trip to chicago and fein let couri have a majority of the blanket and didnt want to disturb him when he went to bed later
along with the 2 instances of fein dropping everything for couri when he needed him, booting up an instance of ranked even though he had his wall open and agreeing that if he lost then couri could have his channel with zero hesitation, and that one time he was doing smth with ludwig and needed a server so he asked hbg but they all told him to ask fein who was on do not disturb and couri was the only one that fein answered along with pausing his coop aa run for him and telling couri if he needed anything else then he would be right there and saying ily before they ended call
and them being stuck to each other during speedrun summit too, fein always leaving his spot to stand next to couri regardless of everything happening
First time I watched Silverr a few years ago I wasn't aware people change languages for search crafting, so I just thought he must be like, slavic for so long. He just has the vibes. He has that sadness in his eyes you only see in eastern european gay porn.
Love to all MCSR creative people, but a big shoutout to the fic writers. You guys are hidden in the depths, but you're so incredibly goated. I can't even find the determination and perseverance to complete an essay, yet you guys create thousand-word masterpieces just for your little whimsies and joy because of your love and affection for the community and its creators. waga peepoCute
i love the strokes so fucking much but everytime i listen to them i get really depressed because i associate them with reign and i remember oh right reign is retired and i get really fucking sad
BIG yap below about plot stuff and dynamics and who plays which sport. might write this into a fic bc i'm really hooked on this idea
a little bit o' couriberg
Couriway
cross country skiing specifically in the free style because it is very aligned with no reset. Its a longer endurance sport where you have to carve your own path through the snow rather than following a pre-determined path. Couri qualifies for the Olympics on this second time trying out. A few days before his event Couriway breaks his arm. Its devastating, there are discussions about weather or not he can still compete but when he tries to get out on the slopes, even after only a few seconds he knows he can't do it.
He stays for the rest of the event, watches the rest of his team compete and while he is there gets to see some of the figure skaters practicing and falls in love with Feinberg's routine. Its energetic but graceful and fun and Couri can see the measured skill in every move and step, every technical element and turn. He spends his time watching the skaters practice and watching them compete since he can't exactly be practicing himself. I think eventually they get to talking and it sparks a little romance (might not make it a romance but probably will idk fully). Fein even comes and watches the cross country events with Couri. They're trying to avoid media attentions because Couriway is soooo done with the press after his injury so they are always very careful in public. They tell a few friends and while there is some light teasing everyone is sure to keep things private. That is until the day before the closing ceremony where a picture of the two kissing is published and all of a sudden neither of them can get a moment of peace. They don't talk for months, a brief moment at the closing ceremony where they get to hold hands is all they get before Couriway goes back to Colorado and Feinberg goes back to Chicago.
While he recovers Couri starts thinking about quitting. He's graduating college this year, he needs to start thinking about a job. Maybe the olympics aren't in the cards for him anymore. He doesn't move away though and a few months of physical therapy and teaching those bright eyed kids how to ski Couriway is more sure than ever that he wants to compete. Sure he loves teaching but he can do that in the off season. He has to at least try for that gold metal again. and I have sooooo many more ideas but I will leave it there for now for Couri because I already wrote wayyyyy more than I intended to.
Feinberg
he is a figure skater because I think the flashy-ness and the high skill sport with the super intense culture surrounding it fit him. He is known for having somewhat unorthodox music choices since he tends to skate to video game music. He is one of the best skaters on the ice always coming out with some flashy performance. This is his third olympics and after a fourth place performance and a third place performance Fein is gunning for the gold.
This year Fein is skating to Pigstep (look it was the best I could find ok) its up beat but still has parts that are somewhat graceful and I can imagine people doing jumps and spins to it. Leading up to his competition he sees this guy who is always there for his training. He has a cast and usually when Fein looks over at him he looks dejected, hes got a bit of a pouty lip. Fein has no idea what his deal is. Its only when Fein sees him chatting with the rest of the Ski team does he realize the man is one of his teammates and so he strikes up a conversation. He uses infume as his in to the conversation because Infume is one of the few people on the ski team he really knows well. He ends up talking with Couri for hours, about thier sports about his injury, the conversation wanders and as the silence starts to settle fein realises hes falling a little.
Feinberg is used to everything he does being scrutinized so he is glad that his relationship with couri is private. The two of them get to be themselves for a week dodging cameras and reporters and hiding in the back of little hole in the wall restaurants. Once they get far enough from the olympic village no one really knows who they are but the problem is getting far enough in the first place.
When everything goes down before the closing ceremony Feinberg expects to hear from Couri immediately. He expects a text a call anything. but he gets nothing. Nearly a year and not a word but Fein can't seem to move on. He choreographs a routine to Couriway's favorite song and when he performs it at the world figure skating championships he wins gold. A day later Couri calls him asking if he can see him when he flys down to Chicago.
(Lowkey did not go into nearly enough detail abt what fein is going thru but honestly he gets to be mostly happy in the first year. He gets his angst in the second olympics)
Infume
he does alpine skiing. This is partly because that event is a big mix of technical skill and decision making so its a lot like his speedrunning style.
Fulham
Was a snowboarder and went to a lot of the same competitions as Couriway did. They became fast freinds and always kept up even during the off season. They both tried to qualify for the olympics this year but Fulham didn't get in but did score a commentary position instead. He does a lot of commentary jobs for other sports as well.
Fruitberries
he does freestyle skiing because he sounds exactly like the kinds of people who usually do that in my experience. Also because its the most similar to parkour.
Vstrid and Beefsalad
both do alpine skiing and have a little bit of a friendly rivalry.
Mime
he gets to compete in biathlon because I wanted to give him a gun.
I need more ideas please add more ideas if you have them. also ty @crystalline225 for helping me figure out some of these ideas def more to come.
Craft a Lie 1: we have gathered here some of the best speedrunners in the world. They play out runs like well-oiled machines, each split competitive down to the second. With so many expert eyes on him, Feinberg the imposter has to play a nigh-on perfect game because every single mistake he makes will come back to haunt him, sooner or later. Splitting his focus between tasks, trades, bastion routes, stronghold nav, explosives, and so so much more, he put himself in the position with peerless organisation skills and a healthy dose of good acting, to take advantage of Hax's mistake and claw victory from the jaws of defeat...
Craft a Lie 2: in this episode of idiot vs idiots-
Most valid Feinberg crashout in history because WDYM he had to go all that only for Hax to sail on by with a Nat20 Charisma roll. It must be so hard being in posession of one of the two brain cells in MCSR, especially when Doogile forgot to give his back after the first craft a lie.
Little do people know Hax actually did use two sabotages to win as the imposter, one was the three withers for Infume and the other is an IRL IQ REDUCTION for Silverr because WHAT DO YOU MEAN my goat did a 180 from being one of the people most sus of Hax to "full clearing" him only to realise at the very end what was going and calling out every single thing Hax did wrong accurately. Did Hax go to Silverr's house and club him on the back of his head like WHAT IS HAPPENING
hi! i like your work and just wanted to ask about couriway & feinberg and them as a pairing, im quite new to all the lore (only recently consuming hbg content), wondering how the ship got popular since its the most tagged in ao3 ++ where to find more content / videos of them or just your favourite recs would be good, thank you!
god ty for the kind words and welcome to the fandom :3
the question of "how did they get popular" doesnt really have a definitive answer, i was here in the fandom when the tag had 1 work and it was just a background pair 🥲. overtime they just became more well known since the grown of mcsr as a whole, and well people gotta know.. is there a popular ship here? and itll be either silverreign or couriberg, but since reign is retired couriberg are the most well known atm, there wasnt a sudden spike in popularity for couriberg, it wad a gradual incline. shipping here is kept very on the down low and only done here really
the reason why theyre paired is because well. they REALLY do it to themselves. take these tweets for example:
but outside of the tweets, couriberg are best friends and have been best friends forr i want to say about 6 years now? back then fein heavily admired couri and couri saw the potential that fein had so long ago, and to this day theyre still supporting each other every day. commonly, you'll see couri talking about fein and praising him as the best minecraft player ever when there are a handful of players who are better than fein mechanics wise. fein always wants couri's words of praise, even saying that he'd push himself to get better at minecraft to always be able to play in the tournament that couri hosts with every 1k milestone he reaches, something that fein has never said before about any other tournament he's played in even though he's extremely competitive with all of them.
they also are synced to the max, you can see it in this vid where they do an escape room together, a vid that has been many ppls introduction to them
whenever they are paired in a team they do extremely well together, which is why they haven't been teamed together any time as of recently. though even when they aren't teamed together or are on opposite teams in events, they still gravitate towards each other and support each other plenty
they just pair extremely well together and also love each other and make it everyones problem <3 they slept together in the same bed under the same blankets irl for a couple days too lol
