**bows Down To Op** - Tumblr Posts

Been thinking about Vat7k and I have decided that Varian doesn’t need a romance arc. He’s already got enough going on plotwise with finding the trials and meeting distant family members, so any more would just shove aside whatever Nuru and Yong would have going on.

However, Hugo should have that arc. Him tagging along on the quest and slowly letting himself truly feel again and tangling with all the stuff that goes along with making friends and falling in love while being a double agent? Dat’s the good shit right there.

Meanwhile Varian’s side of it is just, “hey, I’m on a self-discovery roadtrip, so come what may!”, so when maybe a month before the Library he realizes he’s got a crush, he doesn’t freak out or deny it, he’s just in his tent like

And he’s thinking “I’ve been through enough shit in my life, I deserve a simple little thing like this :)”, not realizing that Fate Itself is about to bash him on the head like Gallagher with a watermelon.

(he does start openly flirting with Hugo at this point, but due to a combo of being bad at it and Hugo internally freaking out bc of Everything Else, he doesn’t catch on to what he’s doing)

No more of Varian helping Hugo be better I want Hugo to make Varian worse

I want Hugo to imbed so much anti noble sentiment in him that after their adventure one night they just disappear with half the castles jewels and live their lives as thieves together with Varian leaving a lil ‘sorry :c’ note for rapunzel and eugene (who’re both now incredibly grumpy at Hugo for getting their little brother back into a life of crime)

Varian writes them letters and slowly mails back the stuff he stole one by one but still.

The entire journey they go on is just Hugo making him a lil bit worse one step of a time and now they’re wanted in four out of the seven kingdoms (Nuru would never let her parents arrest them and same with rapunzel and Edmund. Yong had no say in any politics but he gives them a place to stay when they’re robbing fireworks)

Please tell us the "useless" mcsm facts

HI THANK YOU FOR ASKING I HAVE A LOT OF THESE. To my knowledge none of these are listed on the fan wiki so you're getting ~exclusive knowledge~ that I've learned/noticed from my 100+ hours of playing and some snooping on Eric Stirpe's tumblr. I don't know how many of these are actually console-specific so just know I play on Switch and PC and all the screenshots are from my Switch.

- Jens is at Endercon!

- Holding left/right before Jesse gets caught in the tractor beam of the Witherstorm when running out of Endercon (right before the gate) and continuing to hold it on the death screen causes Jesse to slide off the screen.

- Magnus's intro in "The Order of the Stone" has a picture of a cat on the left side of the screen. I have no idea whose cat this is.

- Jack can be seen twice before Jesse and Petra officially meet him. You can see him once in the credits and again if you make Jesse walk past the piston and towards the mine until the camera changes and then walk back to the piston.

- Jesse can say Harper's name before she even gives it to them by selecting "There's no place to hide out here." while in the ditch.

- In the Spanish sub of Season 1 a lot of the lines are just. not translated. I can't speak for the other languages though.

- Gill can be seen multiple times throughout Endercon. He's at the DJ booth, but he doesn't move, have a shadow, or despawn for some reason.

- Anytime the game shows the big zoom-out of the Portal Hall (end of "Order Up!" and the beginning of "Access Denied"), there are no purple portals, but in playable parts, there are purple portals.

- Also in the zoom-out, there's a green portal that gives off a red glow for some reason.

-Eric Stripe didn't like the fact that Reuben was killed and wanted to bring him back for Season 3 before it got scrapped. He was going to be the Reuben of another universe where Jesse was killed by the Witherstorm and be battle-hardened.

- Female Jesse gets misgendered in "Assembly Required" by Ellegaard calling them "Non-Goggle Guy," a Boomtown resident using "him" for them, and of course, being called "King of Boomtown," which could just be a joke since they also call themself that.

- Soren can actually be seen outside hanging out with the endermen!

- Petra appears (and by "appearing" I mean has a speaking role and has some bearing on the episode's plot because she does appear in the "Previously on MCSM" in "Assembly Required" but I don't count that) in every single episode unless you choose Gabriel over her in "The Order of the Stone."

- If you look at the well while searching for Reuben and back out (at least on Switch) this happens.

It can be fixed by walking in circles or interacting with the costume.

- In the Spanish dub of Season 2 in "Giant Consequences" when Stella and "Vos" are floating down the water canals, the scene is super slowed down and genuinely nightmare fuel.

- There's a beta version of "Training Montage" in the files. It's file name is "The" and sounds more electronic.

- Also in the files for every episode in Season 1 is every sound file from Minecraft??? They're all labeled "source_(minecraft file name)"

- Xara's cell wouldn't work in actual Minecraft. Pistons can't move obsidian.

- Also something that doesn't work is Romeo's sacrifice where he runs back after you try to take him with you but you took Radar to the surface in "Beneath the Bedrock" and Radar's hero scene where he runs in with the giant enderman to save the day. The bridge is destroyed, but for both scenes, the devs replaced the non-existent bridge so they could have their big moments.

- Also speaking of bridges, I don't know what causes this (I think it's the decision to stay and help Ellegaard try and make the command block), but the Redstonia bridge Jesse jumps off of can have a larger gap that results Jesse running on mid-air. The high-quality one is the normal bridge and the two crunchy ones are the bugged-out bridge. (Sorry for the quality on the right ones, I had to screenshot my phone recording of it.)

- Ivor was going to have a different plot in Season 2 involving him being all fixed-up by Harper (like what he looks like in Season 2) and was going to be on a quest for Soren that would gradually make him fall back into his old eccentric ways as the game progressed.

- If you rebuild Reuben's monument and then die to the strays, the monument you rebuilt will still be there even though the dialogue still says it was destroyed.

- Also while on the topic of strays, there are multiple mentions of 1.11 features (llamas, woodland mansions, etc), but there are only 2 mentions of 1.10 features (polar bears that show up in the credits of "A Journey's End?" as Jesse enters the Competitor's Village and the 5 strays Jesse fights in "Giant Consequences."

There you go! I have a few more, but they're mainly just mentions of bugs/glitches I've seen throughout the course of playing. Thanks for letting me dump a bunch of these!
