hi for people migrating from lifesteal / unstable twitter, tags are used for categorizing fandom content so people looking for that stuff SPECIFICALLY can find it. not for adding onto your post for algorithmic reasons or random "how is your day lifesteal community" esque posts. please don't misuse them, it will make the tags unusable. only tag things that are actually relevant to the content of your posts. you dont need to tag everything you post about a subject and its honestly better not to, if you liveblog what people will often do is make tags that don't have series or smp names in them that can be used to organize your own blog. for example, someone might use the the #π tag to post about lifesteal stuff as it would allow them to categorize posts on their own blog while not crowding up the maintag for example, if you're talking about unstable universe, dont throw the lifesteal tag on there just because the creators are on both projects. in addition, the minecraft community on tumblr doesn't like when we use the general minecraft tag for minecraft youtuber related content as it would drown them out. please use smp tags, dont throw the #minecraft tag onto your posts for mcyts. that includes tags using the word minecraft, so dont use #minecraft smp for example. if you want to find mutuals who like your interests, you can just post about your interests and they will come naturally. you can put it in your pinned if you really want. be normal to content creators who have tumblr accounts or they'll leave the site. if you wouldn't say it in their twitch chat you shouldnt say it in their ask box. tumblr also heavily relies on the culture of block and move on. if something someone else is doing bothers you. please do not make call out posts and put them into maintags. nobody wants to see that. if you talk about discourse use the #discourse tag. tag your shit. tag shipping so people can filter it out. for lifesteal the tag to put is #lsshipping and #mcytshipping
Drawing fanart of lifesteal makes me fall to the ground and it makes me writhe i say, writhe on the ground. Because how am i supposed to design steve 1, steve 2, purple hand bitch, the blobington court, shrek qr code, BACON WAFFLES/SAID WITH BURNING HATRED WITHIN MY HEART. It makes me stare at the ceiling with contempt and made contemplate that "wow.... I'm really making fanart of teenage boy minecraft server... ππ"

i have a lot of thoughts of the proton prison escape (good ones!) but i can only like vaguely string together words. and half of it doesn't make sense. so *vaguely gestures in the video's direction*
(mega spoilers for the proton escape btw)
elytra also described as wings and the prison cells being described as cages lending to birdcage metaphor and parrots being, well, birds. ken constantly trying to keep the bird in the cage for its own safety; ken trying to keep everyone in the prison to keep them safe. ultimately the escape requiring elytra (wings) and ken clipping his own wings and remaining in the cage (he stays behind and let's parrot escape) but instead of for his own safety it's to protect everyone else's.
parrot and ken's shared mindset of "i want to keep everyone safe" but parrot's way of doing that is getting every single person out of the prison ("i made a promise i'd get everyone out safely") while ken's is keeping every single person in the prison ("and i told you to stay safe"). ultimately both are on each other's side, both want the best for each other, but what Ken wants is selfish, removing the freedom of all his friends to keep them safe.
the references to stasis chambers throughout the video, ken mentions the prison having rings of bubble elevators and how it's like a big stasis chamber. This moment then leads to the first point of tension between parrot and ken's conflicting thoughts during this escape. Then the group's way to get someone to sneak in contraband is through a stasis chamber that ends up being Ken and Parrot who have to build. It's ALSO where Ken and Parrot's big conflict happen and Ken almost breaks the stasis (and their way out). Stasis chambers are then mentioned again after ken is left inside the prison, ken telling everyone to go pull the stasis at his base. The stasis chamber is always present lol, it's cool. I don't even know if Ken's wording of describing the rings as a big stasis chamber was intentional but it's fun to think about.
Ken being stuck in the prison that HE designed and even the outer walls that he didn't know about had parts taken from his designs... sort of nudging to Ken's Daedalus Labyrinth Prison and the myth of Daedalus being trapped in his own labyrinth.
If we take the elytra as wings like how i mentioned above then the last scene almost parallels the fall of icarus, except Parrot DOESN'T fail. Also should be noticed that it's the opposite of the Icarus story where they HAVE to fly straight up. Idk I just thought the idea of Ken being similar to daedalus and the concept of having wings in his "labyrinth" was cool.
AND THE SCENE BETWEEN KENADIAN AND PARROT WHERE KEN TELLS PARROT TO ESCAPE AND THE MUSIC BUILDING IN THAT MOMENT AND THE WAY KEN DELIVERS THE LINE its so good.
ok this isnt what im supposed to be working on, but i was making a kenadian skin and i noticed on the back his skin has a K I N
the screenshot is from his wifies debunk, but idk if it means anything? maybe there supposed to be a E instead of an I but there wasnt room? but that kinda falls apart when you look at older skins of his where there's a K I A on the back instead??? i might be looking too deeply into things that dont matter in the long run but i havent seen anyone else talk about it so i wanted to atleast bring it up
i couldnt stop thinking about this ever since i saw the meme, i might make another version with glados instead of mangle tho
