This is what the government doesn’t want to tell you
Hua Cheng is just so iconic to us because he is in fact a tumblr girlie. Notebook filled to the brim with sketches of his blorbo. Info dumps galore. Maximalist fashion to the nines. Outfits based on accessories. Has all of the genders under one big shapeshifting trench coat. Hates the ruling class. Excuses every problematic thing his blorbo does and stands by them in the group chats. Insane reaction to people who dislike his blorbo and says mean things about them, burning temples is the doxxing of his time. He belongs on here with us.

(hcs/flags are largely just me being goofy dont take them too seriously)
imagine your f/o caring for you.
they do that already, dont they? they love you and want to take care of you like you are a special little thing that needs protection.
imagine your f/o taking care of you during the times you desperately need it, the times you feel like their love for you is so miniscule, when they look at you and see the stars align. they see you and immediately go “you are my home”. their love for you is massive, its huge, they give their entire heart to you, and would show it to you every second of the day and even more so when you doubt it.
they will remind you every day that they love you and only you; why would anyone else take your place? youre their world, their home, their own safety net. they will reassure you even without you asking them to; they listen to your fears and help ease them away.
they care so much about you, they hate seeing you doubt their love, they hate seeing you so sad. they know there are bumps in the road, but you two will get through it. together!

You know, a Minecraft Movie could have been a literal masterpiece if you had the right mindset to do it, and I'm not joking. I feel like nowadays studios are afraid of being genuine like a teen is afraid of being genuine. If a movie suddenly gets too excited about something, it needs to put it down so it doesn't sound "lame" or "cringe". You cannot be honest, and you cannot show love or absurdity without pointing out that it's stupid because you think OTHERS will believe it's stupid. So please bear with me:
Currently we have only a teaser trailer, it looks bad, it puts itself down, it's afraid of being genuine, it somehow managed to whitewash Steve (again), and I doubt that it will use things like the End Poem or how it feels to play Minecraft for its themes and story. I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm very cynical. So, let's think about it together.
Minecraft Movie. I saw a post suggesting stop-motion animation for it, and, honestly, it feels perfect, just like stylized 3D animation. Live action actors do not work with how Minecraft looks, and that's okay. Let's do an animated movie.
The plot. There's so, so many possibilities, but the beauty of making a Minecraft animated movie is that you won't ever be able to tackle all the possibilities it brings to the table. The community has made so many stories for the game, so we might as well just think of an "official" movie as a homage to the game and its community. We are adapting the way Minecraft feels.
End Poem, one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Let's take that and put it in the movie, simple as that. You can only find it by defeating the Ender Dragon, so this will be how our movie ends. If we want it to end like this, then the objective of our protagonists must be to defeat the dragon.
Let's have Steve as our protagonist - not a whitewashed version, just Steve with his actual skin color left just the way it is. He'll represent us as players for our hypothetical movie. Have him wake up in an unknown world, not knowing why he's there. Just like how the game was all the way back in 2009, he's alone in a very lonely and foggy world. We follow him trying to look for other people, and then he has to survive his first night. This first part is both whimsical and a bit scary, because that's how many players felt when they first started it when they were kids, aallllll the way back.
Steve survives his first night. He's horrified, and then he realizes that he'll have to do it again. He doesn't know the "rules" of this world, but he's figuring them out, and the idea of "rules" and "what to do" will be important. Because, at its core, Minecraft doesn't have that many rules. It has no actual objective. You can do whatever you want, and this will be very (very) important.
Steve ends up building a small base with wood. Survives a bit more, and then, someway, somehow, he finds Alex. While he's more careful around things and very thoughtful on how and what to build, Alex is more of an adventurer, following the little tidbits of personality we see from them during Minecraft trailers. They're happy to know that they aren't alone, and we follow them build a very strong friendship and teach each other new things, just like how it is playing Minecraft in real life. They find a village, and find out that maybe they can leave this world, or at least find some answers, if they defeat the Ender Dragon.
From there, we have a good objective. The two continue progressing, and their base ends up becoming a castle, because who didn't want to build a castle when they were kids? And the world seems progressively more alive thanks to their interference on it, thanks to them helping the villagers, thanks to them being the players that they are. If you want more conflict, just add the pillagers as well.
Eventually, Steve and Alex have an argument about their points of view. They both want to know what's going on, but their way of doing things are different, and they care a LOT about each other, they're best friends, but who is doing things the "right" way? I don't like the idea of them separating because that happens in way too many movies. I want to see these two stick together, but their insistence on trying to do it "correctly" ends up putting them in a lot of trouble because they can't cooperate anymore. Y'know. How people fight and argue about a "correct" way of playing the game. How we as players miss old Minecraft - or do we? Do we miss the simplicity of older times, or do we miss our childhood creativity and willigness to do whatever comes to mind?
Anyways. A good alternative to this conflict would be either Alex or Steve - I'm leaning more towards Steve - being hesitant at completing the End Portal. He doesn't want to end his "dream", he doesn't want answers or to escape this world (aka leave good memories behind), he wants to stay there, but Alex knows that they can't be like this forever, even if she wants to stay. Regardless, they eventually come to a mutual understanding, and, TOGETHER, they go and fight the Ender Dragon. They win, and then the End Poem happens.
The fight against the dragon wasn't the ending; the realization that there are, indeed, no rules to put them down, or that they HAVE to leave everything behind, is the ending. They hear the poem while sitting next to each other. The world changed because of them, and sometimes it was for the worse, and sometimes it was for the better, but it did become much kinder, and they weren't alone. They don't HAVE to be. Just like how it actually happened in the actual game, through the 15 YEARS since it started to exist, and oh my God it's been 15 years already?! Oh my God-
Anyways. Movie ends with Alex and Steve having a lighthearted argument over what to build next. Steve wants another castle, Alex says that she has amazing ideas for something she's calling a "mob farm", and "trust me, it'll make our lives SO MUCH easier". And they're just being silly, because there are no rules.
Anyways thanks for reading this post, feel free to add your own things to it! Just had to get it out of my chest.
“Did you choose to ignore the fact that it was you, or-
Did you not recognise yourself?”
From the latest Guess The Build video
That line just went crazy for some reason, felt like it needed to be used in some way
In the beginning. Straight up "creatig it" and by "it" I mean. well. let's just say... heabven and the earth
Oh yes. This was my first drawing of girls. They dressing up for work:> Since then, i have thought a lot about their outfits. I love corsets and suspenders so muuuuuuch!!! I don't know if it's good or bad, but they turned out to be absolute OOC for me. I think fem-Miles would have Franziska's character, but more restrained. She won't beat, but humiliate. God, can you imagine an updated autopsy report meme voiced as a sassy bitch with a british accent??? I can. And it makes me so horny!
For Phoenix's sake, i think the female version would be more enthusiastic about all of Maya's stupid ideas. More open and honest about her feelings for Miles.
And i was also wondering if there are feminine versions of their names and turned out that Phoenix is originally female name lol and feminine version of Miles is Myla.
MYLA SKHSHHCHHHCASHHCHSHHSHSHHSCHHJCAJKHHKC SO CUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alphys's extremely easy to draw box is secretly just one of those heating stones lizard use
Wait. Titans respawn in Tartarus.
Apollo's mom Leto respawned in Tartarus. Apollo is half Titan.
Where was closest to Apollo when he passed out at the edge of chaos? TARTARUS.
All I'm saying is there was a reason he was regenerating so fast down there, gaining powers, and somehow went on even when his body died.
Thinking about Epic: The Musical one day being performed on a stage
Thinking about “Just a Man” being sung on a platform, high above the audience. It is a matter of life and death. It is a conflict between a god and a king. The king of the gods and a man who sees himself as a god. There is no one else on stage except Odysseus and the infant. It’s the infant’s life or his own family. He doesn’t feel like he has much of a choice at all. Taking one life to save many. When Odysseus sings “I’m just a man”, he’s clinging onto the humanity he has left. He knows what he’s doing is horrible, but he’s hoping that his reasons justify it
Thinking about Eurylochus’ scene with the cows at the end of “Mutiny” being sung at the very bottom level of the stage. He’s level with the audience, perhaps even lower. It is a matter of life and death. This is not some fate or prophecy, this is the simple and very human act of satisfying your own hunger. Eurylochus and every other crew member on the stage with him is starving. It’s the cow’s life or theirs. It seems like a very simple choice, doesn’t it? Taking one life to save many. Eurylochus doesn’t see what’s wrong with killing the cow, or maybe he does, he couldn’t care less. They’re hungry, everyone gets hungry, everyone needs to eat. When he sings “I’m just a man”, he reminds Odysseus what it means to be human. That primal urge to eat or be eaten. Kill, or be killed
The two of them are very different in status. They are a king and a soldier, a captain and a first mate. But when it comes down to it, maybe the two of them are not so different after all
Pines Family Personality Parallels
@misteria247 You do these gf analysis things so what do you think?.
I just noticed how similar these guys are to each other. Stan is snarky,Dipper is snarky. Mabel is selfish,Ford is selfish.
Dipper is snarky because how else are you gonna cope with a sister as crazy as Mabel?. All he can do is roll his eyes and sassily say "i told you so" to his twin's antics. While Stan is snarky because it's a part of his whole act of being mean and tough for Ford in order to take the brunt of abuse from bullies and Filbrick for him better.
Mabel is selfish,but that's only because she's a kid and she doesn't know any better. Her wants and desires are her entire world,while not knowing that they would DESTROY the world if she went through with them i.e her giving over the rift for Bill to start Weirdmaggedon. Ford is selfish because he grew up believing that he was destined for greatness,he learnt to throw his loved ones under the bus because that's the only way he could succeed and gain the recognition he believed he deserved. They both learn from this though.
AND ANOTHER THING,Mabel was bullied for being too weird and Ford was bullied for being too weird. Both are overtly enthusiastic when it comes to things that they're passionate about and WAYYY too into their own interests (Mabel with her very niche interests in romance elaborate crafts etc and Ford with his obsession with the sciences anomalies as well as other nerdy stuff),which isolated them from their more "normal" peers. While Stan and Dipper are comparatively more normal in comparison to their twins,saner too with them being the voice of reason toward their more reckless twins despite also having a tendency to join in the chaos. Mabel and Ford are horridly reckless due to their own insane ideas and projects while Stan and Dipper have to deal with them lest they get hurt. God i love this family,Alex Hirsch is brilliant. Bonus - Both Ford and Mabel have experience in having terrible obsessive exes,Gideon and Bill,except Bill is worse than Gideon.
i have no idea if chidi n eleanor have a ship name but if they don’t i propose moral dilemma to be it
The way this idea is so good that I can literally feel this idea slowly taking over my body, possessing me to write about it.
You could also add the fact that Arthur knows that Pendragons all eventually grow mad over time, so Arthur thinks that Merlin, as a figment of his own imagination, is just the first sign of the downfall of his mental state.
But that's his emotional support hallucination, his friendly sleep paralysis demon, so he can't bring himself to hate Merlin, even though, to Arthur, he's a sign that Arthur is going mad and losing touch with reality.
To throw in some more angst, Arthur could believe that Merlin is a hallucination so deeply that he still sees and hears Merlin even when Merlin's isn't actually there. He can't differentiate between the real Merlin and the Merlin that his mind makes up, since he believes that he's hallucinating both of them.
It's also why Arthur is so hesitant to touch Merlin most of the time: either his hand will go straight through Merlin, confirming that Arthur is, indeed, going mad, or Merlin will be solid under his hand, meaning that Arthur's cannot tell reality from illusion, even by touch, and what would that mean for the world around him? Had he made all of it up? Had he ever seen beyond the fog of his own insanity?
This idea so SO FASCINATING!! I love it so much!!
EDIT: I can't believe I didn't think of this before, but when the knights and Gwen eventually catch on to the whole "Arthur believes that Merlin is a hallucination" situation, they try to point out that yes, they can see Merlin too, they can describe to Arthur exactly what Merlin looks like and what he's doing, so he therefore can't be a figment of Arthur's imagination. And Arthur just turns to them sadly and apologize and say that he didn't know that his condition was contagious. The knights and Gwen try very, very hard not to call Arthur an idiot.
The greatest mystery in bbc merlin to this day is just what was Arthur thinking every time he dragged Merlin into danger with him like some kind of emotional support plushie without any protection.
Sometimes I get the feeling Arthur thought he just made up Merlin in his mind and he isn't real. Like, he's just an imaginary friend who keeps him entertained, makes up silly words, understands him to the core and always has the right answers, often times answers he doesn't like, but the subconscious do be like that.
He doesn't need armour or any protection cause he isn't real. Plus it's easy to keep being mean to your best friend for no reason when you think he's actually you - and you're always mad at you
Season Of The Light Dragon - PG 1
[Next ->]
OO BOY! PAGE ONE! Gonna actually try to keep up with this. Updates might be slow because I want to wait until the poll is over before actually starting the new chapter (cos they do effect things!) and also because I do struggle to keep up with projects like this.
As well- if you have any specific suggestions on what you want our little moth to do, then send in an ask! If I like the suggestion, (or if theres enough asks saying to do the same thing) it will be incorporated into the story!
As well, RBs are appreciated, as this comic will be consistently needing viewer input via its polls. Think of it like a choose your own adventure story. I have ideas on where this story is going, but the input of the polls will change the story significantly (like our first choice here!)
