MCYTBLR FLASHBACK FEST is a week-long fanart, fanfiction and other fanwork event for fans of Minecraft video content, running from May 14th to 20th, 2023. Organized by @conarcoin.
This event aims to highlight older sub-fandoms by using one key rule – your source material must have been made from 2010 to 2019.
The only other restrictions are that your content must not be sexually explicit, and your content must not focus on the real lives of content creators. Works should be set in Minecraft!
The tag for this event is #mcytflashbackfest. You can contribute as much or as little as you would like. More information about posting will be provided as the event draws closer.
Additional information under the cut:
The 2019 cutoff does not include content created at the very tail end of 2019 and primarily existed in 2020, such as SMPEarth. Your fandom of choice must have had significant time to exist within the 2010s.
Content without a set RP canon, such as Team Crafted or Technoblade's Potato War is okay so long as your work is set inside Minecraft.
Creators such as SkyDoesMinecraft who have later been outed as abusers should not be present. Characters a creator like this may have played from established RP canons like Mianite or Yandere High School are fine. Series like SMPLive toe this line - please err on the side of caution and just exclude them if you are unsure!
Series that span many years such as Hermitcraft are acceptable, but the season/era you focus on must fall in the time frame of the event. For Hermitcraft, that means nothing after Season 6!
If you are unsure if a fandom is okay, please send an ask to this blog and I'll look into it!

I made a simple reference sheet for Rythian and Zoeya through the Blackrock Chronicles!
Zoey actually used a lot of skins through the series, but they were mostly just changes in accessories so I just picked one per season.
Mostly compliant to the actual skins from the series, but with some liberties taken.
Sadly, no Teep. Maybe someday.
Thank you @yogurtyogitup for your post, I don't know what I'd have done without it LOL
Design notes that line up with the numbers on the pic are under the cut because they got long.
the only thing I actually added to Rythian's Adventure outfit was changing out some black pauldrons (?) his skin had for a mantle in the same colour as his trousers. Everything else I just tweaked, or left out altogether (certain bits on the legs I literally could not figure out, for example)
his cloak pins are dark matter. it's a flex.
I think the yellow bit on Zoeya's scarf was meant to be some kind of ring clip, but for the life of me I could not manage to draw that so I replaced it with a mushroom badge.
I decided tassel scarf ends looked good and added visual interest.
Embroidered mushroom on the pocket =)
I think if anyone has a collection of fun socks, it's Zoeya. These ones are directly based off a pair from Accessorize - just google 'mushroom socks' on images and they should pop up.
another pop of colour, this time a simple rainbow =)
I meant this to be an archery brace but now that I'm thinking about it I think it's on the wrong arm, oops. I just wanted asymmetry!
he dyed his boots while he was in his edgy period lmao
mushroom pocket is now a bit patchy looking - implication is, she took it off while in the mushroom rebel base and sewed it back on after leaving
star socks! I think Zoeya started leaning towards socks with purple in them during and after the mushroom rebels arc.
sealant on the rainbow was scratched off a bit at some point so the paint is patchy. She probably intended to fix it up at some point, but was always too busy.
I… didn't want to draw sleeves so I gave his coat a cape instead. Sorry.
the eyes follow him no matter where the scarf flaps
he got new boots this time! ignore how similar the style is.
Fun to design but a pain to draw. Like all hands, really.
almost forgot to add this thing so it looks a bit bland
skin asymmetry wasn't a thing yet when this series was coming out, so as a result Zoey's Blackrock Rising skin had two cyber arms. Cool, but apparently not canon - only one of Zoeya's arms was lost. So on the other arm, I put a wrist mounted computer, because it's awesome.
patch in the scarf, and it's shorter since it looks like it's knotted behind her on the skin rather than just loose down. Neat!
new mushroom embroidery for new trousers! Four different types to foreshadow the Twilight Forest arc.
these boots were fun to colour and I unironically want boots that look like this irl.

Happy MCYT Flashback Fest! I decided to draw one of my oldest blorbos, Mianite Captain Sparklez! I chose specifically that one scene in s2 when he kills World Historian with his fancy Ianite Arrows since it was sooo iconic. I loved Mianite growing up and I still do ^_^ I should go rewatch Mianite again...

"Hey! Cat got your tongue?" Schlatt says, and he's cut off by Cooper stepping forwards, swinging his sword forwards and letting the edge rest just barely against Schlatt's neck, narrowing his eyes.
"You know what this is about," Cooper responds bluntly. "Return our reactor immediately, unless you want this whole fucking place blown to the ground."
(or, schlatt & co. have a run-in with sun whale.)
