Remember That Post I Made A While Ago Talking About A Despicable Me Sbi Au? Well..

When I say "defending jason online isn't enough, I need a gun" I'm SO fr i literally left the percy Jackson subreddit community on reddit because I see like atleast 5 comments/posts of people going "jason is so worthless and deserved to die, look! Percy is so much better" atleast 3x times a week.

Don't y'all get fucking bored for posting the same stale ahh shit to get upvotes lmao. The goal is to get internet validation from strangers, and the only way to do that is use Jason (aka one of the most hated characters in pjo) as the punching bag

So Elon bought Twitter. I'm honestly not gonna push away Twitter newcomers, but if you're in the MCYT fandom you need to understand that the social etiquette and expectations and culture here are very different than over on Twitter. So as someone who's been an active part of mcytblr for two years now, I'd like to offer some thoughts and advice!

One: Shipping. MCYT communities on Tumblr have always tended to lean more tolerant towards shipping of roleplay characters due to the idea that this is a space for fans primarily. The creators who visit or actively use Tumblr like Eret and Martyn understand that this is a fan space primarily, and don't bother us for the content we make, and we don't bother them with it.

The number one worst thing you could do is share shipping content with creators who have not asked for it. This is a huge social faux pas here. Secondly, on the other end — writing callout posts for shippers here isn't gonna fly. Even for RPF shippers and people who may ship boundary-breaking pairings, our default is usually to not engage with these people rather than publicly call them out. It makes the space a healthier place for everyone and makes it much less likely that CCs may come across content they are uncomfortable with. It's also considered a social faux pas to ask CCs their opinions and boundaries on shipping, since that's bringing it up when they didn't ask!

Speaking of shipping, people typically don't mind you maintagging ship content so long as you also tag it as shipping so people can filter it. For Hermitcraft the tag is hermitshipping, Life Series has trafficshipping, and the lesser known DSMP tag is dsmpshipping.

Two: Reblogging. This is something a lot of newer users tend to struggle with. There is no algorithm on Tumblr, at least not one that works, so content creators rely on you reblogging their work in order for it to spread. If you see a fic or piece of art you enjoy, please reblog it! I often reblog art for MCYT fandoms I'm not even personally in.

Three: Tagging (again). There are a wide variety of tags you can use for your content! The most common tags you'll want to use are "mcyt" and "mcytblr", and any relevant series, pairing/group or character/CC names. However, please don't use the tag "minecraft"! Minecraft has an entirely separate fanbase on Tumblr that we co-exist with and have some overlap with, but don't necessarily appreciate seeing MCYT content in their tags. Any tag with "minecraft" in it is also a no-no, such as "minecraft youtubers" or "minecraft championships". Please use shorthands!

Four: Opinions on MCYT drama tend to be very different here than they are on Twitter. For instance, you should assume by default that most bloggers here either like or are completely neutral towards "problematic CCs" like Schlatt. But also, we tend to be very against spreading anything originating from leakers, and we also tend to not be fond of making posts "holding CCs accountable" for things they did years ago. Generally, mcytblr prefers to be a more drama-free community, and if you do engage in discourse, many would appreciate you tagging it as such!

Five: CCs do not need you to babysit them.

Generally speaking you will see a lot of jokes and memes on mcytblr that wouldn't fly on Twitter, and it is generally looked down upon to try to speak on behalf of CCs personal boundaries — they are grown adults, and you are a stranger! Calling out or harassing people for "breaking boundaries" is mostly just going to get you looked at strangely, especially if you don't have a source for your claims. Most of us will stop doing something if asked, but we don't need stans to tell us to! CCs can speak for themselves when uncomfortable.

Six: Most mcytblr blogs don't want CC notices. There are quite a few CCs who are active here, but the community is chill with them as they don't tend to talk about us elsewhere and allow us to do our own thing. We do not, however, like encouraging CCs to join Tumblr or to follow us or reblog our posts — many people here actually prefer being out of sight of CCs and many of us consider it rude to seek out attention from CCs outside of sending the occasional ask.

Please treat CCs kindly and don't gawk at them like you just saw a celebrity on the street — the ones who are active here are just Tumblr users like the rest of you! Seeing Eret reblog fanart or respond to an ask isn't something to point out.

While we joke about Twitter users joining, we don't actually have anything against you guys, it's just that we've built a very different community here and ask that you respect it and the etiquette we've come to establish! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your stay on mcytblr ^_^

Hot Take : The Heroes of Olympus might be Rick Riordan's worst written series, with the most interesting characters.

Compare this series with PJo. Though it was written in the first person, both the story and characters were three dimensional. I usually have a visual representation running in my head when I read books, and this series became my favorite because I was able to feel the emotions and plot like it was personal.

On the other hand, HoO was much more two dimensional when it came to the plot. Half of the time, most of my re-reads were just skipping to parts I liked.

The characters were the most interesting part in the story for me, and they too could have been much better.

I understand why Leo is a big favorite. The way Leo was written was top tier, and he would have been my favorite if I didn't get distracted by Piper Mclean, and Jason Grace.

Both characters have so much potential, and its that reason that drew me to them.

Piper Mclean was so much more to me, because she was strong and smart, and reliable, and someone the rest went to for comfort or strength. But she was also beautiful, the daughter of a goddess who usually sat in the sidelines watching the drama (that she usually started) unfold around her.

Piper Mclean wanted to take a stand.

Jason Grace was the golden child, the one who was handed the baton, and was told to be the child he should be, and he took it with no questions asked. He was hardworking, resilient, loyal, and he loved his friends so much that he died for them.

He was a hero, and it wasn't because of his father.

All the characters are so beautifully intricate and human, but the writing doesn't allow us to see it.

sometimes i forget that not everyone has been around for the dsmp as long as i have.

like i Vividly remember watching the stream of wilbur gathering tommy and tubbo to start a drug empire. i will never forget wilbur letting fundy join the crew on the condition that he yells “Fuck 12” in sapnap’s face (as sapnap had taken it upon himself to be the server police).

people talk about how niki or jack were at the revolution and i’m like *lights cigarette* “nah, those wippersnappers didn’t show up ‘til after our independence. niki’s citizenship was discussed as the walls were being constructed but she didn’t actually join until after the dust had settled and the war was done. they were fine citizens,” *chokes on smoke* “but they weren’t there for the fightin’,”

or someone will say that c!wilbur was a terrible president and i’m like

*slams caprisun* “aye, soot was a right bastard sometimes but he was our bastard. cowardly and brave that one, tongue like a silver viper. he wasn’t perfect but he got us our camarvan, our freedom, our walls. sapnap used to bust down the camarvan doors before we built up ‘em black and yellow beauties.” *obnoxious straw sipping noise as the caprisun is clearly empty but i’m stubborn* “the smp was a blazing furnace, but president soot made somewhere we could rest in the walls’ shade,”

“When god sends me to hell, I want him to hesitate.”

God better have hesitated. He’d better have.

Why sad? Happy! :)

Reconciliation (an old comic)

found this in my files while looking through some old art, decided to finish the last page and just post it haha

Isn’t it weird that

Season 2 Mike is most peoples favorite Mike

Season 3 El is most peoples favorite El

What do we notice ?

El in season 3 was Independent and becoming herself without Mike

Mike in season 2 spent the whole time with Will never leaving his side and he also spends the whole season without El

Anyway anyone who says c!Tommy deserved abuse bc he was mildly annoying or that he was equally as bad as c!Dream or that c!Prime are mutually abusive or that c!Tommy was the obsessed one will die by my blade

You know that feeling when a fanfic you've loved was on hiatus for a long time and it ended in a cliffhanger and then suddenly it gets updated and you're filled with the need to reread everything and then again entre a state of sadness because you've reached the last updated chapter and now you'll just have to wait all over again?
