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

i want to give c!tommy lots of hugs

c!Tommy was never a vengeful character. He didn’t try to kill c!Dream to punish him for the pain he went through. Tommy wanted catharsis for his trauma and then a peaceful life afterwards. Even though he didn’t want to kill anyone (he says so to Tubbo in the finale, while theyre planning to attack Dream,) he thought it was the only choice he had.

Tommy didn’t want to kill. He didn’t want revenge. He only committed to it because he was convinced it was the only solution, the only way to find that catharsis and peace. Tommy’s happy ending was never about murder or revenge, but about healing from his trauma. Understanding Dream gave Tommy the catharsis he wanted. For him, it made it make sense. Does that mean he forgave Dream? Probably not, though it’s hard to know since the nuke came so soon after. But when Dream asked if it was too late, when he expressed for the first time a willingness to change, Tommy realized he didn’t have to kill for the catharsis & peace he wanted.

It’s not an ending that’s for everybody, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like the finale, there’s a million other shows and books you will like. But I loved it. To me, there’s no happy ending more powerful than kindness, empathy, and understanding being more powerful than anything else. Even if the loss of the old server & memories after the nukes and the Incident is tragic, to me that only makes the finale bittersweet. I’ll always enjoy a story about compassion over a story about just revenge, especially when it’s so much more fitting to who Tommy is as a character.

dream smp fandom, throwing their phones on the floor: SON OF A BITCH

I’d like their friendship thanks.

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 ^_^

sleepy bois incorporated 💤

remember that post i made a while ago talking about a despicable me sbi au? well..

Do you want me to be honest with you? I wish heartstopper never became a tv show. Call me selfish all you want, but its true. I wish the cast's first ever acting job (for most) didn't envolve cnstant harassment, i wish Kit Connor didn't have to go through so much shit, i wish this franchise had a better fandom. Back before the show released, this was my safespace. I met the most lovely people, i enjoyed my favorite books of all time peacefully. Did you learn nothing from the books/show? By fucking harassing Kit Connor into coming out that goes to show you learned absolutely nothing from heartstopper. Heartstopper is joyous, its meant to make people feel seen and to feel safe. Do you think the heartstopper cast feels safe? People trying to find Yasmin's dead name, people trying to cancel Joe, but this is just too fucking bizzare. Thank you, so damn much, for ruining one of my favorite things in my whole life. Please make this stop.

Ok so twinduo. Fantastic start. But royalty. Even better. But VAMPIRES. INCREDIBLE!! Thats the AU that’s basically it SO

Techno is born into a vampire royal coven, his father, ruthless king, has just taken control over a proper kingdom of vampires (vampires in the world have historically been scattered for some time bc they always fought amongst themselves which let humans get the best of them bc humans outnumber vampires like a thousand to one but blah blah conquer power big strong coven and now there's a new small kingdom with the covens swearing their allegiance to one family name in return for protection against extinction. Cool? Cool.) so Techno is a prince!

He’s basically the prince of the vampires. Swag. He’s got his family, his mother, father, older sister, and a twin brother. He ages slowly (vampire genes) into a young teen, being very close to his brother all the while, the two of them nearly inseparable. The kingdom flourishes under actual rule and order and is able to attack other kingdoms and win for blood, thus feeding the citizens and boosting morale. Techno is taught with his brother about the ways of war, of how to fight against human kingdoms for the sake of their people. Techno is very good at these lessons. His brother? Eh not so much but thats ok they’re both the heirs, Techno can have it with his brother at his side.

Peace goes on (in the kingdom of vampires, at least) with war constantly being declared and neighboring kingdoms always being ransacked for blood. Then, unrest happens. One of the covens seeks greater power, and stages a coup. It fails, and they are killed for their efforts, but not without some loss.

Techno’s entire family is killed. He never sees his father, his sister, or his mother get murdered by the traitors, but he does witness his brother’s death. They both fight off attackers and manage to run, but Techno’s brother, still being young, still developing powers, cannot recover from his wounds. Technoblade is lucky, he gets away without, and he tries his best to save his brother, carrying his body down the bloody halls, to no avail. He becomes the last survivor of his coven, the only heir to the throne. People are half hesitant on following him, but also wanting to see what would happen in his rule, because his father was brilliant at war, and surely his fledgling would be the same?

They are right. When the mourning is over, the bodies are buried and Techno is crowned, he declares war, and vows to grow his kingdom and protect them like how he failed to protect his own.

Fast forward. Many years. Maybe a few decades or somethin i dunno. Techno has grown into looking like a young adult now. (Again, vampire genes) He is a merciless conqueror who is taking the world in his palm, kingdom after kingdom, ruler after ruler. He travels with his army, strong loyal vampires willing to kill and take what should be theirs.

Wilbur’s kingdom is next on the chopping block. Phil, the king, sees the threat coming and has known it would come for some time. He and his Queen, Kristin, prepare accordingly. However, Wilbur, often called a pacifist prince, insists there has to be a way to avoid war. He doesn’t want his kingdom to fall into ruin, but doesn’t want to go pissing off those vampires either. He assumes (wrongly, the idiot) that surely the vampire king has reason, and that surely they can make a deal with him. Phil doesnt agree with that plan at all. Wilbur our lovable Idiot doesnt care and sneaks off to try it anyway.

Wilbur somehow manages an audience with the king, Techno. He comes with his identity hidden at first, pleading for humanity, but Techno never had humanity in the first place so that’s a bust. Then he reveals himself, and begins bargaining, arguing that war cannot forever sustain a kingdom that survives off blood, and surely, a trade can be made between kingdoms, so that blood is supplied and peace is secured.

Technoblade doesnt listen to Wilbur’s words. Not for a lack of caring, or a lack of empathy, but because upon seeing Wilbur’s face, he sees the same face that repeats in his dreams every night, the same face he sees in the reflection of water, the same face that has haunted him.

Wilbur, through a sheer fucking stroke of fate, was born with the same face as Techno. He looks exactly like his twin.

Techno agrees to the deal. He agrees to peace in return for a trade, he agrees to it all. But he changes the terms. He will spare Wilbur’s kingdom, on the condition— that Wilbur goes with him. He stays here, within vampire territory, in Techno’s sight. (In his reach, so that he won’t need to lose his brother again.) Wilbur thinks this is a power play, and so agrees (altho cant really say no now can you) and decides to figure out a way to both survive and gain the favor of the king while he’s at it, because while he is known as the Naive Prince, he is also well known for his persuasion.

War efforts halt. Wilbur’s kingdom waits in dread, having gotten a letter from Wil of his situation. They know they can’t provoke the king, because then Wil is in danger, and Wilbur cannot leave, because he is surrounded.

Wilbur tries to settle. He tries to make political connections and tries to not let anyone intimidate him, and he’s a little startled at how easy it is. The servants smile upon him kindly, the soldiers are stern but polite, and Techno is…distant. (But how could you blame him that vampire has got Trauma)

With vampires, magic is also widely believed. With that, comes the idea of reincarnation. Techno wholeheartedly believes that Wilbur is his brother, and for all the efforts he’s made, all the work he’s done to protect his own, the gods have decided to reunite him with his twin. Everyone believes this as well, and so they treat Wilbur like their own prince, albeit this one is human and a little unknowing, but that could always be fixed, with time.

Eventually, Wilbur finds out about this. Techno confronts him, awkward but honest, and Wilbur is fucking terrified. Here is a vampire who thinks he’s his brother, a part of his coven, and that he’s just been reborn to return to him.

He wants out because he knows he’ll be turned into a vampire if he doesn’t act quickly.

However. Techno favors him. Technoblade, the fearsome vampire king, the most dangerous evil in the lands, is favorable towards him. Whatever Wil wants, he gets it. He wants a full course meal made from his home kingdom? The supplies are gathered and dinner is ready by sunset. He wants gold, silver, jewels of any kind? Techno has plenty, all those kingdoms have given great reward and he’ll happily hand them over.

Even someone’s bloody head, Wilbur can ask for it. A vampire noble bothered him, scaring him and telling him he’s a conniving human just trying to gain the throne? He tells Techno of it once, and that noble is never seen again, his head presented to others as an example.

Wilbur, while certainly a glorified prisoner, has power. He has proximity, and maybe with some work, he can even gain trust from his “brother.” With enough acting, with pretending to believe he is Techno’s brother, he can lure this monster into his death and gain victory for mankind.

But here’s the question: Can Wilbur take all the benefits, all the power, and the throne, and manage to return home still human? Or will he fall, choked by his own lies, tempted by a life of absolute power, and become a monster himself?

our team is disgusted by the treatment of kit connor, and in no way condones the actions that have been taken out against kit forcing him to come out. we believe that no one is in a position where they should feel entitled to know the sexuality of an 18 year old, and are shocked that people have bullied him into this point. please note that our team does not support anyone who agrees with what has happened to kit. heartstopper is a piece of media created to be safe, inclusive and a wholesome show about coming to terms with sexuality, gender and identity. the inclusivity of heartstopper is something that we believe should be replicated online and in the real world. the harassment of kit connor completely goes against those values and therefore should be called out. the bullying of the shows stars and continuous harassment with various factors - shaming joe’s appearance, trying to search yasmin’s deadname, disregard of tobie’s sexuality to name a few - goes against our teams values at heart and is generally disgusting and disappointing behaviour. we suggest that you choose not to interact with our blog in the future if you stand for this violation that has happened today.

i wish everyone who made kit connor feel he had to come out a very merry FUCK YOU. you forced an eighteen year old into coming out publicly, before he was ready, when he stated many many times he wanted to keep it private. how many more times does this shit have to fucking happen before some of you fucking clock that YOU CANNOT QUEERBAIT IN REAL LIFE. this is the natural end to the discourse of ‘if somebody is in the public eye playing a queer person they owe us their sexuality’, and it’s DEEPLY FUCKED UP, they do NOT owe you an answer, and this mindset JUST FORCED AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD TO OUT HIMSELF BEFORE HE WAS READY TO

unlabelled people are valid NOR does anyone, including a celebrity, owe you their sexuality or relationship status. do better.

my heart fucking breaks for kit because he deserves better than y'all.

friendly reminder that real people can't queerbait and you don't need to be lgbtqa+ to be an ally and advocate for lgbtqa+ rights

No one owes you their sexuality.

NO ONE.

You are not entitled to anyone’s sexuality. Period. No questions asked.

kit conner isn’t queerbaiting you.

billie ellish isn’t queerbaiting you.

taylor swift isn’t queerbaiting you.

harry styles isn’t queerbaiting you.

REAL PEOPLE ARENT QUEERBAITING YOU!! it’s a term used in media literacy. no one owes you an explanation about their sexuality.

Alongside Kit Connor, i feel so fucking bad for Alice. They worked so hard on heartstopper for so long and she created something beloved by the world, and this is what happens to it. They took something amazing and just trashed it. If you were one of the people who bullied kit connor into coming out, im letting you know that you dont deserve to even watch the show or read the books because you learned nothing from it. Whats the point of it if you didnt learn anything then? Im a teenager, and when it was a hard time in my life i found heartstopper. It meant everything to me. (As dramatic as it sounds, its true and i think i can say the same for a lot of people) im so angry. Im so angry that you ruined my favorite thing ever. I hope youre fucking proud of yourselves.
