i actually hadn't seen that post-- but yes, that's it exactly! (and beware, sociology/culture nerd moment incoming, youve unlocked my secret hidden chasms of interest)

i think a large part of all of this is that i did start on more solid ground than you-- you were working from the ground up to construct an image of a then-dead culture, while i had watched it unfold in real time. it's part of what i said in the tags of some post a while ago; if we posit that every relationship between two people is a dialect of its own, with communities speaking their own "languages", then the death of a community is the death of a language. of Course you weren't getting the information you were looking for, you didn't have the memories that it would have taken to ask about them!

and, examining the notes of the post that finally did blow up, that was exactly it. i keep seeing things like "they know idotsblr? theyre the real deal" and "what did gay castle do?", as well as other people going "oh yeah i remember that happening! that reminds me of..." etx etc. it's primarily a matter of having the base knowledge to know what to ask in the first place, which you were already working doublespeed to try to get after the fact. and let's be real here, you got ridiculously far for someone who was piecing things together, and i absolutely loved watching you form rada in real time-- it was, like i said before, like watching someone come in from the outside and give words to everything id noticed about communities getting pushed to the fringe, and the focus on boundaries.

(one thing that i am interested in that you never got the chance to get to, as lilyfreshwater said in the notes, is the rest of mcytblr. critblr and dlying were the fringe, but when examining only fringes, a hole is left where the main group is. the more i hear from people, the more i think that the biggest pieces of the puzzle have been sitting in plain sight, in all their difficult-to-archive glory: the discords, groupchats, individual friend groups, and the odd way that popular mcytblr tumblrs seem to be almost canonized in the fandom.)

and, of course, i just like having my favorite time period all in one place to look at; it makes me happy to have a little slice of it on the blog, and to revisit that time in my life from a considerably less manic standpoint.

Thanks for the followup. I mostly agree -- and again I could never regret putting together RADA -- but there are a few things I'd like to disagree/clarify:

Although truthing/criticizing/etc. was on the decline when I first started posting and reblogging in April 2021, I don't think OG 2020 mcytblr was never totally dormant or dead. I focused on Dreamlying because they were still posting by the time I joined, and that presence of activity was enough for me to start thinking and wondering.

I agree my perspective would have benefited from first-hand experiences with mcytblr 2020, but I don't think interpreting the resulting counterculture/fringe necessarily required I be a part of it, or have had first-hand experience with it. In fact, it was only until I had been blocked by a regular mcytblr mutual 1 or 2 months after publicly interacting with the fringe that I realized -- and quite painfully -- I wasn't part of the mainstream anymore.

This in turn is why I didn't discuss much of regular mcytblr. Structurally, it had become so large to be self-sustaining, and possibly self-documenting. But personally it was also because (I was the last one to realize) I had crossed the floor the first time I ever reblogged georgesoot, or warpedfungusonastick, or reese, or fruityranboo.

i'm putting out a message to anyone who participated in 2020/2021 mcytblr!

i've recently reignited my passion for archiving niche fandom history! if you were involved in early mcytblr, sleepyblr, idotsblr, or dteamblr, i would LOVE to pick your brain and collect firsthand accounts of what it was like and different mcytblr events!

a short (but by no means exhaustive) list of events/happenings i'm interested in collecting accounts of:

the mcytblr elections, dlying, gay castle, 'kinnie' imposter blogs, friend or host, any discourse you can remember, the general vibe, truthing, critblr, copypastas (dream is a youtuber, hey wilbur, in this video we coded it so that i am in love with georgenotfound) and whatever sticks out to you from that era!

please feel free to reblog/send this to anyone who you remember from back then! i think firsthand accounts are just as important to preserve as physical media, especially right now, before memories get any more faded or warped. if you're interested, shoot me an ask or a message, or say so in the tags and i'll reach out!

welcome to my ocean tour, we'll sail across the sea for shore !!

self-indulgent edit

EMPIRES LIZZIE GRAPHICS! i fucking love these so much PLEASE LOOK AT THEM I BEG YOU TAP/CLICK ON THE FUCKING PICTURES AND STARE AT THEM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS EPLESE EPLASE

art creds: one two three four five

rambling + resized versions and an extra graphic under the cut. like/rb and creds appreciated NECESSARY SPREAD THESE DAMN GRAPHICS AROUND BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW I DID SO FUCKING WELL appreciated! please don't forget to credit the artists if you use these. also don't tag this with anything that will imply you are c!Lizzie.

NOW PLAYING: Water You Thinking by LDShadowLady !!

if you somehow cannot fucking tell i have gone VERY FERAL over these i LITERALLY HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THE MUSES WHILE MAKING THESE. these look so damn good! i plan to use these for rentries (which is why i made them in the first place, i ended up claiming .Co/empires on rentry so yk, gotta use the url!) and i am SO EXCITED!!!!

here are resized versions of the graphics (excluding the 3rd one), they're resized for rentry with 410 height!

nowadays when i post graphics their sizes are already reduced for rentry, but i just love these graphics SO DAMN MUCH that i have to show off the higher quality versions in the main post so it's the FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE.

the 3rd one was actually the 1st in the set i made last month, its kinda funny how simplistic it is compared to the other 3 HFJSHDJHSDJ i still included it though, like the more the merrier!!

Welcome to the Mcytblr Sexyman Poll Propaganda Archives!

Do you want your Mcytblr sexyman propaganda boosted?

The purpose of this blog is to put all (or as much as we can of) the propaganda for the contestants of the Mcytblr Sexyman Tournament in one place, and make all the propaganda easily accessible to anyone who may wish to access it.

We are also doing this to support mcyt fanartists and document fandom history! If you want your propaganda boosted, feel free to submit it!

How it works:

If you have created a piece (or more!) of propaganda for your fav in the Mcytblr Sexyman Poll, for example artwork or a powerpoint, you can submit your post so we can reblog it to our blog! By doing this, we can support fanartists and record mcyt history at the same time!

To submit your post(s), simply shoot us an ask with link(s) to your propaganda post(s)! We will then reblog the post(s) to our page.

We acknowledge that this is not the most efficient of systems, and we are sorry. Our team will try to sort through the messages as fast as we can!

Explicit NSFW posts will not be reblogged, as we want to make this archive as friendly as possible! Suggestive posts will be linked with a warning, but not reblogged.

Please do not submit anyone else's posts. However, you can ask the op for permission to submit their post.

Please submit the original posts, not reblogs.

Explicit NSFW posts will not be reblogged, as we want to make this archive as friendly as possible! Suggestive posts will be linked with a warning, but not reblogged.

Even if your fav was already eliminated, please do submit your propaganda!

Our tagging system:

Each submitted piece will be tagged with the type of media it is (digital art, traditional art, slideshow/powerpoint, etc).

Each submitted post will also be tagged with the name of the artist and the name of the character. We will not be doing separate tags for the same creator in different series. For example, Double Life Goodtimeswithscar and Hermitcraft Goodtimeswithscar will all be tagged under Goodtimeswithscar.

We will make specific tags for these works and we will create a masterpost containing all the tags.

Have fun looking through these archives!

Note: We are not professionally affiliated with the Mcytblr Sexyman Poll themselves, this is just run by a girl who is interested in fandom culture and supporting artists!

oh while im thinking of it - i HIGHLY recommend to people who are interested in archiving qsmp vods that you need to organize!! it is the best way to ensure that nothing slips through the cracks and gets lost! some kind of concerted group effort is the best way to preserve a servers history because inevitably if left to individual archivists things will get doubled up on and others will be forgotten

#a discord works but like. whatever #i am NOT going to archive qsmp vods. i physically cannot i have 3 other archival projects ongoing at once. bc im crazy. #but if yall want to preserve qsmp it will involve organized group effort and division of labor #and just saying 'remember to save vods' won't fully cut it. imo #bearvocalizations #qsmp #mcytblr #archival discussions #ig

this is mcytblr-archive-- wanted to say for the critblr crowd that i don't intend to (and indeed couldn't) replace roxy in any way! they've been a very big inspiration and gave words to a lot of the phenomena that i noticed but could never quite grasp-- given this vocabulary, i initially wanted to break down mcytblr history through archival as someone who was there for it! however i realized recently that i am one man with a patchwork memory, and it would be a far more historically useful endeavor to take accounts from all over mcytblr. it's been fantastic thus far, and i can't believe the response i've gotten!

(that said-- the similarities between me and roxy are indeed numerous and striking. i blame our time in the gnfkitten mines and time spent lurking critblr and dlying, though roxy uses much bigger words than i do 😅)

Lowkey I would be totally fine if you replaced me and/or just used RADA as a stepping stone. Not sure if you read my "seeing like a state" post but I think a lot of my speculations were really just that -- speculation, without really putting boots on the ground and talking to people and interviewing them. And that I think already puts you a mile ahead of me

P.S. I just re-found my "mcytblr shenanigans" tag, I think I have some mcytblr elections stuff in there (which DTeamblr 2/3 Discord DEFINITELY manipulated, I was literally there lol)

Funniest shit I’ve seen happen now that dream smp is finally officially over (it’s been over for a while to me), is that now everyone is trying to get dream smp fans on their side

“Hey dream smp fans have you heard of popular dnd podcast just roll with it-“

“Hey dream smp fans, want to watch other mcyt’s wel hermitcraft is-“

Even saw people recommended the magnus archives like those two have any similarities (I say as someone who liked/likes both)

It’s just funny, and yes you should watch them if you have the time
