This article has an excellent summary on how to rapidly learn a new language within 90 days.

Really fun to render!!

Hannah the Red Rose Fairy!

Around the time Hannah got her wings, I had the idea of making a Rainbow Magic version of c!Hannah- but I didn't actually start working on it till recently.

I adored this series as a child and read every single one that was available to me at the local library. So I tried to get as close to the original cover art style as possible!

It was a super fun challenge and I hope you all like it! <3

A version of Hannah without the background under is the cut!

[please do not repost! reblogs are fine!]

can you draw argbur and simpbur hanging out if possible? i really like them in your style! they make me so happy

i’m sorry ik u likely meant ‘hanging out (/pos)’ but i can’t help but imagine these two being absolutely two-faced w each other

I found your blog today so I'm sorry if this is something that you don't like to answer so feel free to ignore this ask! /gen

But I wanted to start watching fruit and illumina and I know nothing about them so do you have any suggestions from where to start? Like specific things I need to know, specific videos/streams for me to watch? Or just really starting watching them and seeing random videos and streams is the best thing to do?

hi anon! welcome!! let's dive in

Channels:

Youtube:

IlluminaHD (main), Illuminother (second), IlluminaVODs (VODs)

Fruitberries (main), Fruitberries VODs (VODs, fanrun, but fruit doesn't save his vods so this is what we got)

Twitch:

illumina1337 (main), illuminomic (alt/no mic)

fruitberries (main), grianstanaccount (alt)

Illumina's main youtube has mostly speedrunning highlights and notable runs (former world records). Fruit's youtube has mostly trapping, UHC, and parkour gauntlet videos.

Illumina's most popular video (11M views): How I Got the All Advancements Speedrun Record ft Dream

Fruit's most popular video (16M views): minecraft bruh moments

Content:

MCC:

I don't really know what you're interested in exactly or how you came upon fruitninja, but MCC is a safe bet (since a lot of people find new mcyt creators that way)

Here are my recommended MCC povs:

MCC 17 (Fruitninja + Simmers): Illumina's VOD, Fruit's VOD

MCC 13 (Illumina on Teal Turkeys with Krinios, Eret, Punz): Illumina's VOD, Illumina's highlights video

MCC 9 (Fruit on Blue Bats with False, Ren, HBomb): Fruit's VOD, Fruit's highlights video

MCC Pride (Illumina on Aqua Axolotls with Kreek, Ryguy, Gizzy): Illumina's VOD

MCC 15 (Illumina on Purple Pandas with Ren, False, and Martyn): Illumina's VOD, Illumina's highlights video

MCC 16 (Fruit on Purple Pandas with Scott, Joel, Grian): Fruit's VOD

Speedrun Showdown:

In Jan/Feb of 2020 Fruitninja teamed up in an event called Speedrun Showdown, where they kicked ass on the first round and got demolished on the second round

Round 1 (Fruitninja vs. Dani & Fireworkss)

Round 2 (Fruitninja vs. Tek & Feinberg)

1 Mouse 1 Keyboard stream:

Fruit and Illumina did a hypixel/MCC practice stream where Fruit controlled the mouse and Illumina controlled the keyboard that can be found here (one of my personal comfort streams)

for more fruitninja roommates moments/clips without watching hours of vods check out my #fruitninja roommates arc tag on my blog

Minecraft Manhunt:

Fruit and Illumina did a manhunt together where they each did a round of being the hunter/runner

Duo Runs:

Fruit and Illumina used to do 1.14 duo runs together

1.14 FWR Duo run in 26:02: Fruit POV, Illumina POV

1.14 FWR Duo run in 23:46: Illumina POV

Relay Cup:

In April 2021, Fruit, Illumina, and Pete (Petezahutt) teamed together for Relay Cup, a speedrunning tournament, but they were eliminated fairly early on in the tourney. They named their team the Three MuskS-Tiers. (for more mcsr tourney info/updates, check out @mcsr--updates).

Round 1 (Three MuskS-Tiers vs. Serious Dedication)

Round 2 (Three MuskS-Tiers vs. TheLegend27)

Round 3 (Three MuskS-Tiers vs. How Did We Get Here?)

Twitch Rivals/MCU:

Fruit and Illumina have teamed up in Twitch Rivals on multiple occasions:

Aug 2020 (Fruitninja + AntVenom, CaptainSparklez)

Oct 2020 (Fruitninja + Quig, Jojo, Tapl, Krtzyy, irushtheworld, Sapnap)

Nov 2020 (Fruitninja + AntVenom, CaptainSparklez)

And in MCU (Minecraft Ultimate) once:

Oct 2020 (Fruitninja + Masayoshi, QuarterJade)

Miscellaneous:

Illumina took over Fruit's setup once and played Ace Race and dueled Tapl in Battle Box in this stream (link starts at timestamp where Illumina joins)

I made a video compiling the Fruitninja moments (crumbs) in MCC 12 and 13 here

I also made a video of all POVs during Round 1 of HITW in MCC 17 (where fruitninja won together)

I also have a masterpost of my personal favorite moments from MCC 17 (with clip links) here

Speedrunning: my friend @cat-26 wrote a really cool crash course post giving a quick rundown an all you need to know

HBG: (house builder gang, a group Fruitninja is a part of), my friend @s3er has a great guide about them here

Fandom (on tumblr):

I have a reclist of fruitninja blogs you can find here (although it is a bit outdated because i've met so many new cool people since i made that list)

I also created a discord server for fruitninjablr as well where you can also get to know lots of cool people and come brainrot with us (shoutout @genderfluidtechnoblade for setting up a LOT of it): https://discord.gg/WhrSPc5a3m
