AND DO YOU HAVE ANY MCSR FIC RECS. FORGOT TO ASK
thank you for the asks! i mostly do my mcsr stuff on my sideblog but since you’re here anon i do have a few (and i will get to the other ask in a bit) i hope you don't mind incomplete fics, because i have quite a few of those in here. anyways, in no particular order:
A Field Guide to Speedrunners by loanword. honestly you should go and read all of tri's stuff but this is the fic that got me. snappy writing style and a great grasp on characterization
Grave Digging by sumactic is an ongoing fic in their pjo au and i am so fascinated by what is going on with their nerdi and k4. good writing and a very interesting dynamic and i cant wait to see more
into this world in wonder from a starlight sky by confusedkestrel is a fun read and i love how they wrote the dynamic between poundy and fein. you should go read all of their mcsr fics tbh
coffee beans, fein-ly ground by igneousarchive and *megamind meme* no villains? by justpressX are two (unrelated) oneshots that i thought were fun.
[FILE: FALLEN ANGEL ET AL VS. SHOCKWAVE ET AL] by weareallstardustfallen is set in a superhero au and also makes use of mixed-media (or, text-based simulations of it), which i am always a big fan of
and now, time for a bit of hashtag self promo but my current ongoing series is outfished. its an au making use of my oc universe setting and can best be described as a modern-day fantasy with a focus on worldbuilding and intrigue. i also play around a bit with css formatting and in-universe documents if you're into that sort of thing.
there's a lot of good fics out there in the tag that i haven't listed here so when you have the time i would recommend just going through the entire tag. its not a terribly huge tag (though it is growing) so its a pretty manageable browse imo. (then again, my perception of reasonable may be a bit skewed. iykyk.)
Writing mcyt fanfic feels so silly because the names are on a spectrum from "normal human name" to "semi-plausible" to "Sausage"
You're right, and I'm not saying this to disparage your point at all, but if someone cannot draw an Asian man as Asian because they value accuracy to his Minecraft skin more, that is racism. I don't care if he's a snowman, basic respect should take precedence. Even if he had a pure white skin, even if we'd never seen a hint of him in real life, this would still be true. Like I said in my tags, a Minecraft skin is not an excuse for whitewashing and it never will be.
You know what, I feel like being mean today. Can we stop whitewashing Hax?
I've been seeing a startling amount of it come up in artworks in the recent months, and honestly, that isn't cool at all. That guy is Asian. He is from Hong Kong. It is whitewashing to depict him with a skin tone as pale as or paler than your designs for white runners. It is whitewashing if you choose to depict him with pale eyes. It is especially whitewashing to draw him like that without any other ethnically accurate traits.
Learn to draw people of color. I'm begging you. Or at least don't draw an openly Asian man with a skintone three shades off pure white.

i used to have this dried ghast that i would pour milk on and suck the milk back out of and it was sopping wet all the time 😭i used to slam it against walls and it would make a loud thud
think if there was an mcsr hunger games in real life benex would win and hed be like 'lets go guys :D' after beating ninjabrain to death with a stick
what if ranked was competitive figure skating and playoffs was the grand prix
tbh ranked just thrives in any competitive setting AU (who would've thought, competitive game applies well to other competitive settings)
also theres so much potential for angst & hurt/comfort :3 i would add character notes but all i have is vague thoughts rattling around in my head making me go insane
has anyone thought of writing a pacific rim au with feinberg and couriway sorry for being cringe does anyone see the vision
thinking about eyes in outfished. how they’re some of the first things to change about a person when they start growing in power (or otherwise experience other changes in their capacity for magic). how they’re a very visible marker that you’ve become something a little other (though still human. there’s a long way to go before you lose that). (do cosmetic contacts become more popular? food for thought.) sometimes the changes will start spilling over into hair, and maybe even become markings on skin, though that’s usually for extreme cases (or cases where this is explicitly part of the mechanism by which the user accesses magic)
on the other hand, the most dangerous ones tend to also be very normal looking… though appearance should never be the only thing used to judge someone’s threat level
anyways i need to get freakier with the eye designs. more unusual pupil shapes. more irregular iris patterns. more playing around with the sclera.
