Early MCYTblr Interviews: fagbearentertainment

our interviewee is @fagbearentertainment (formerly @/ugh-schaloob), who ran a philza minecraft imposter blog! below is a transcript of their account of early mcytblr and being an imposter blog.

The philza blog was a pretty fun experience. I would schedule my posts to UK timezones (im from the US) and answer asks during school to be more convincing. I also had a lil feud thing with a wilbur soot kinnie blog called therealwilbursoot or wilbursootofficial or something like that, they deactivated a while ago tho. We basically just told our followers to send really cursed asks to each other, I sent my followers with anteater images and they sent their followers with minion memes. It was a good time. We both admitted to being kinnie blogs pretty fast tho, after ~a month or two we both quit posting for the most part. Rip Philpire o7

I also remember something about the Wilbur blog (or maybe it was a different wilbur blog? Can’t remember now) marrying Nick Wild from Zootopia, they invited me to the wedding via ask lol

For the he/they tubbo discourse I really only saw people on my dash saying it was stupid bc I didn’t use Twitter at the time. I do remember lots of instances of people being excited when a cc used they/them for tubbo and reposting the clips constantly. All the support for cis people using multiple pronouns led to me experimenting with neos and questioning my gender which is pretty cool thanks he/they tubbo discourse

I was also fairly active in the mcytblr high school au stuff, didn’t use the discord much bc of social anxiety but I do have a few posts of my mcytblr high school sonas on my main blog if you wanna see those. I was called the schools local Quackity kinnie bc of a quiz we all did and it became my mcytblr sonas whole personality for a while XD

Also here’s art I made if what I was doing on the discord server and mcytblr high school blog. Don’t have access to either of those anymore so this is probs the next best thing for archiving if you want to archive it

What's something your OC does to wind down after a long day?

Heya, thanks for your question! Tivalon will treat himself to a nice cup of tea and spend the evening reading his favourite books. There's nothing better than to enjoy the company of his anteater Olaf in his warm and cosy house, all of the other minions ready to cuddle up. :3

How did gadget and Lucille get married in the past?

I haven't thought of that fully yet BUT I suppose that it was like... A small wedding with the members of the mob only, though Gadget's mom would have been there too! Since she's a seamstress I like to imagine that she was the one who made Lucille's wedding dress (mainly because she was able to reunite with her son thanks to her).

On a funnier note, when Spider Mobster was waiting at the altar and Lightbug appeared with the Snail by her side, his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw how beautiful his future wife looked. But on the other hand he began to get tense (and that nervousness was mixed with his impatience at his father-in-law's slowness) and he almost left because he felt he wouldn't last. I don't mean that he tried to leave because he didn't want to get married, but he didn't know if he could resist the beauty of his wife xD

Anteater and Caterpillar cried a lot and they had to use at least more than a couple of tissues, and that surprisingly was one of the days in which Marvin smiled the most. He and Gadget's mom had a bit of tension going on due to the "you tried to kill my son" thing but they tried to be in better terms for the sake of the lovebirds.

I think that it would have started like a normal and peaceful wedding at first but it had some chaotic stuff going on like the moonshine minions being drunk off their asses as always, the fly goons arguing and that leading to a food fight... Etc, etc. But well those situations aren't too weird around the mob and the whole day went well for the most part. And of course there was a dance!

Oh yeah and someone probably took a but of the cake before the couple could cut it, who it was I don't know but I thought it could be a funny reference-

Moonshine Mob Headcanons 2

Wanna know how they handle alcohol?

Daniel; Do you even need to ask? Spiders can get drunk off of caffeine. CAFFEINE. You think poor Danny could even handle alcohol? NOPE.

Lily; While she can handle her liquor better than Danny, she still doesn't fare all too well against the others. When both Danny and Lily get drunk, they get more emotional then they usually would.

Fly Goons; Takes a few drinks to get them drunk. Some have better alcohol tolerance than others.

Moonshine Minions; They're drunk 24/7 and you can't convince me otherwise. The dough inside their bodies literally has moonshine in it.

Edward; Surprisingly good at holding his alcohol down despite his small size. Has a refined taste.

Armando; Is a beast when it comes to drinking. That trunk comes in handy.

Carter; Just as good as Armando, even though it doesn't seem like it. He and Armando are drinking buddies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carter listens to radio dramas. Tends to get so emotional to the point where he cries for literal hours. He got the other members of the Moonshine Mob to listen to it, and while some were skeptical at first, all of them loved it. And if you're wondering, yes, they all cry at it as well.

After the police and the Moonshine Mob made a truce with one another, they've been helping each other out.

The Moonshine Mob helps the police out with busting other gangs in the area and also assists in interrogations. It helps to have an anteater son when interrogating other insects/arachnids.

In return, the police help the Moonshine Mob make their Distillery Dough. They bake the dough and sell the items made from it (Chef Saltbaker taught them how to do so when he was doing community service alongside Carter).

Carter and Chef Saltbaker get along quite well, due to their shared taste for cooking and baking.

The rest of the Moonshine Mob found out about Carter's cooking/baking skills was when they came back to their base of operation after a long job. As soon as they entered, a wondrous smell filled their noses. They followed the scent to the kitchen, where they were shocked to find Carter dashing from stove to stove, from counter top to counter top and from cutting board to cutting board.

He was basically a blur. And yet, when he noticed everyone, he didn't stop at the pace of which he was working at. If anything, he probably started to work even faster.

All he said was "go and wait at the table, dinner will be out in a minute".

They followed the orders given (they were all VERRRY hungry). And, true to his word, a minute later, multiple massive trays of food were brought out to them. They made sure to devour it all.

If you couldn't tell by his little animation before the fight with the Moonshine Mob starts, Carter is FAST.

I've spent the last four days ranking all 362 minions I have so I could find the 40 best ones for my Island Sanctuary. It certainly wasn't easy, but I've somehow managed it.

40 minions seems like such a small amount! It's not even two full pages and I've got 14 full pages plus more than halfway through a 15th!

Anyway, in case anyone is curious, the minion names are under the cut.

Hello Tmblrdream. the people of my nation L'Sandburg and I are in need of more allies since we are at war with @the-official-ph1lza on tumblr. As General Soot of L'Sandburg it is my duty to make L'Sandburg my finished symphony, unlike L'Manburg. If you would like to join forces with me and my nation we would be happy to work something out, as long as you read my pinned post and know about this nation. Philza has become a menace to my people along with anteaters. We request your help by allying with us and sending cursed images over to philzas asks specifically minions, or just do simply whatever you can to be our ally.

Irken Biology Shitpost #1/?

Irken Tongues:

As you all know, Irkens have tongues that are dissimilar to human tongues in that they are long, skinny, segmented, and possess high motility. Hence, in this post I will be trying to use my basic knowledge in biology to guess why their tongues have adapted that way and how they function.

An elongated and skinny tongue, like what Irkens possess, are often found in vastly different species. Many of these animals also belong to vastly different phyla. While the adaptation of having a real “tongue” is restricted to several classes of chordates, tongue analogues also occur in other animals, such as butterflies with their proboscis.

Usually, when species are subjected to similar types of pressures, they would end up with similar adaptations, even if they are geographically isolated from one another. So, we could say that the elongated tongues of anteaters, hummingbirds, etc. are similar to the proboscis of a butterfly* in that the lengthening of the “tongue” was an adaptation to reach into hard to reach places for sustenance.

Sure, some animals also have a long, prehensile tongue, like chameleons or frogs, but they’ve evolved to catch their prey from a long distance and their tongues become progressively thicker near the tips, unlike Irkens. Therefore, it can be assumed that Irkens have long, skinny tongues to reach for food through crevices and small openings.

*A butterfly’s proboscis does not function as a tongue and sucks instead of licks but we can still infer from the shape that the purpose of its length is the same as with other animals.

Zim, and other Irkens, have flat faces, unlike many of the animals here on Earth with long tongues, disregarding frogs and chameleons (as stated why earlier). But perhaps his primitive ancestors had protruding faces or snouts that suited the longer tongue and helped give Irkens a longer reach.

In this case, the ancestor would have a diet that is sustained by digging the tongue into deep crevices or holes to get food. But usually, this would be associated with mouth openings at the end of the snout and not be across the entire snout, like with dogs. This specialization would in some ways be a hindrance to Irkens, since their diet would be limited and losing their source of food could spell disaster for the entire race.

But perhaps, instead of a mouth opening at the end of the snout, the opening was along the length of the snout? This sort of adaptation would be great for hunters, as they can simply open up their jaws to bite into their prey and incapacitate them.

If that is the case, then there would be no point in Irkens having elongated tongues, unless their prey had hard shells that were difficult to pry open or the Irkens could only access a small part of the creature through an opening. So the teeth of an Irken would be designed to keep a vice grip on whatever they are biting and suck things up with their long tongues through a small opening.

This would provide a reason for the teeth structure and the tongue. Irken faces could have become flatter to give the tongue better access to whatever food they are eating with their tongues, while clamping down on their prey (i could imagine an Irken biting the skull of a tough-skinned animal and sucking out the brain juices through the eyes. that would be metal).

For the tongue to effectively scrape everything useful out of their prey, they would have to have more adaptations that make it easier. The tongues of anteaters are covered with many tiny hooks called filiform papillae, which are used to hold insects together, while a hummingbird’s tongue has many grooves at the tip that inflate with nectar when in contact with it. Nothing in the show or comics show that Zim’s tongue is anything but smooth, but even humans don’t have smooth tongues, so it could still be a part of Irken biology.

(I love Zim and his minions so much that this image gave me a little heart attack)

What all the sources of media do show is that an Irken’s tongue is segmented. Segmentation could be present to aid with the flexibility or movement of the tongue. The small cavities in between segments could also be helpful in picking up food, as it increases the surface area for keeping a tight grip on whatever it is the tongue is holding and nutrients could get stuck within the crevices.

Muscles alone aren’t enough to hold onto particles of food and whatever else, so Irkens must also produce saliva from glands nearby that would end up coating the tongue. Unlike human saliva, Irken saliva must be stickier to aid with the adsorption of food particles. There should also be enzymes (especially proteases) that can help break down the muscles of the prey. The pointy tip of an Irken’s tongue also helps Irkens gain access to every nook and cranny so nothing will be wasted.

Furthermore, an Irken tongue is highly flexible and motile. Human tongues are capable of moving through a muscular hydrostat. Muscles, in general, create movement by having antagonistic pairs contract or relax. In a muscular hydrostat, the muscle fibres are oriented in three different directions with regards to the long axis; parallel, perpendicular and wrapped around.

Irken tongues could have more peripherally located muscles parallel to the long axis for more elaborate movements/torsion and a circular arrangement of perpendicular muscle, like with squid tentacles. This would make it possible for Irkens to “screw” their tongues in the cavities more effectively and “explore” it better.

So, with all these specializations, is feeding the only use for these long appendages? The functions of body parts extend to more than just their intended uses. Given their stickiness and possible roughness, they could not have been used much for cleaning, as while it may remove debris and dust particles, it may end up making more particles attach to the cleaned area due to its sticky properties. Unless Irkens are capable of releasing different kinds of fluids from their glands made specifically for cleaning purposes. Which is also quite possible, so their tongues could be multipurpose.

Another thing to consider would be the uses of tongues in conveying body language. Irken body language is remarkably similar to human body language and humans use their mouths to portray many different emotions.

In a fearful situation, humans often open their mouths widely and release a shout to startle any attackers. Irkens also shout but in addition they also stick out their tongues, which offers more distraction and disgust given its worm-like appearance. Zim also protruded and twisted his tongue out when licking the screen. I believe this is another threat tactic and a sign of aggression.

But Zim also exposes his tongue when he is excited/happy like how humans smile, despite how displaying teeth being a sign of aggression. These displays of aggression could also be signs of submission if done in a way to show that you are not prepared to do any damage. So in a comfortable environment, these submissive signs are there to show that they are not going to fight.

So, how would Irkens store their tongues? Their tongues could just be rolled away inside the mouth or kept partially down the chest but these would affect an Irken’s vocalization. Another way of keeping their tongues is if they had a mechanism like woodpeckers do and the back of their tongues continue over the back of their skulls. This also helps cushion the brain from brain damage through harsh impacts/high speeds (useful when space-travelling). Although, this extension may not include splitting the tongue into two.

These adaptations may have become leftovers from the past, since we definitely don’t see any Irkens using their tongues for feeding that way. It might have been due to Irkens becoming a more generalized species, which is very useful in increasing their survival in other niches.

**I’m not getting into what Irkens are able to taste because that would require me to watch the entire series again to see what foods they eat and this post is already long. Their tongues could be covered all around in taste buds that double as hooks because of their rounded shape.

Queer people tend to take a particular interest in "unusual" and lesser-loved animals like axolotl, capybara, anteaters, tapir. FFxiv's "normal animal" minions tend to feature unusual animals like the above. Therefor, FFxiv's minion selection further proves FFxiv is a queer MMO.

Moonshine Mob Headcanons

Spider Mobster (Daniel Huntsman) and Light Bug (Lily B. Huntsman) are 100% a cuddle couple. Get in the way of the cuddles, they'll annex you.

Announcer Snail (Edward J. Escargot) sees his gang less as a gang and more so like a family. And when you mess with any member of his family, he'll sick the Anteater (Armando Escargot), his bodyguard/adopted son, on the offender.

Armando, despite being an anteater, use to actually be scared of ants, until Edward helped him get over his fears via intense exposure therapy (i.e. a scenario where Edward was getting bum-rushed by the Ant Police [TM]).

The Fly Goons love their job. They get to be in a mob, they have the chance to crack a few skulls and even get to smuggle baking supplies.

The Caterpillar (Carter S. Monarch-Widow) is a very shy and reclusive young man who has a bad tendency to throw himself into his work in order to distract himself from his incredible sense of self doubt.

When I mean he overworks, I mean he overworks. Even when he's extremely sick, he never stops working. He also has a bad tendency to pull multiple all nighters.

It gets to the point where the other members have to literally tie up Carter and strap him to a bed in order to keep him from working.

Carter's currently going to therapy in order to help with his crippling anxiety, workaholic tendencies and his sense of self doubt. Edward's paying for it and supporting Carter, cause he's the Dad of the Moonshine Mafia.

Carter is basically the Moonshine Mob's universal translator. As in, he knows multiple different dialects and puts them to good use.

He first showed this ability off when a toon of Japanese descent began to ask for directions when David, Lily, Carter and Edward were out buying some food.

Carter's also an amazing cook. He was taught at a young age by his father (who may or may not be a very powerful insect toon).

The Moonshine Minions were created by accident when a barrel of Distillery Dough was struck by a stray bolt of lightning. Mere moments after the strike, the dough shot out from the barrel and formed arms and legs.

After realizing just how useful these Moonshine Minions were, the Moonshine Mob purposefully began to make more of them.

early morning 5.5 thoughts:

thoughts on Werlyt, MSQ, and YoRHa below the cut:

So I did Werlyt first to get it out of the way and it is still Bad Fanfic: The Quest Line. like. this was definitely better than last patch, but goddamn it just really highlights how unsatisfying the rest of the story was.

Cloud Deck was amazingly fun fight, though. EX is going to be a bitch but gimme.

where the fuck was Nero seriously goddamn this was the perfect place for him

NGE vibes were great but ultimately: still don’t give a single solitary fuck about the au ra kids. heavy-handed plot devices, every one of them.

that pop was very satisfying

(as discussed in the FC discord) ...that, uh. that ending cutscene is a lot less heartwarming when you realize all the Terncliff townspeople probably had trauma reactions to seeing images of their conquerors walking around all of a sudden.

hindsight: BAD FANFIC. REALLY BAD FANFIC.

anyway

MSQ was next and I have SO MANY First Brood feelings and am now seriously jonesing for a Meracydia-focused expac at some point in the future, hnnnnnnnng.

there was great worldbuilding and buildup, I think; the tempering stuff I found fascinating since it implies another layer to primal summoning and that the perception of the summoned by the summoner can have a huge effect on things.

I’ve seen some discussion before about untempering the Unsundered and honestly, after the Tiamat stuff, I genuinely wonder if it would have been possible at all. like, the implication with Tiamat’s is that it worked despite five thousand years because of her sheer force of will and that she saw Bahamut as an unequal. while the Unsundered I feel probably would have had the force of will...their perception of Zodiark wasn’t just as a god but as necessary to the continued functionality of the star and reality.

like...jesus.

(for the record, my interest in the Unsundered remains firmly in the, “fascinating antagnoists” category and the Ascians as a whole with the, “god I’m really tired of these fucks” category.)

also! something I noticed: despite the excitement of everything, this was a pretty chill patch! both 3.5 and 4.5 were the big “holy shit” patches with 3.55 and 4.55 being the denouement into Stormblood and Shadowbringers.

but 2.55 was A Realm Reborn’s HOLY SHIT moment and I’m willing to bet good money that 5.55 is going to be the HOLY SHIT lead in for Endwalker.

did you notice HOW MUCH MSQ STUFF FROM THE TRAILER WASN’T IN THIS MSQ THAT MEANS IT’S IN PART TWO.

Estinien versus Alisaie is hilarious btw and it’s a miracle that man isn’t dead. though god, I have to feel for Alisaie: I joke a lot you can’t tell my twin brother and I are even siblings, but before puberty hit us, we looked muuuuuuch more alike, and I knew another brother-sister twin set as a kid who looked so similar the only way you could tell them apart was their hair style (the brother’s was traditional-boy-short and the sister traditional-girl-long). I lost contact with them after we went to a different school, but I’m curious now if puberty did the same for them as for me and Twin-Boy or not. and as much as Yoshi-P and the devs talk about and semi-enforce a time bubble, I do wonder if we’re actually going to see Alisaie and Alphinaud age a bit in Endwalker

after the Alliance briefing, while the other leaders have gone off and the rest of the Squad and Scions go to talk with Arenvald and Fordola:

Aymeric: Darling, it’s not like we haven’t seen each other in a week, we had breakfast together this morning--

Synnove: Don’t care, I’m horny, find a private corner or I ride you on the meeting table.

Aymeric: I’m not complaining, merely pointing out a fact! And my vote is for the table.

Synnove: >:3

during Paglth’an: drive by shippy smooches after defeating the latest enemy group

WHAT A FUN DUNGEON but I’m gonna have to go in here as GNB to learn how to do the pulls

DID I MENTION RECENTLY MY FIRST BROOD FEELS god I love Tiamat

*paps Arenvald’s cheeks* you’re a good boy and I love you very much

I know Ishikawa-san isn’t likely to do anything permanently harmful to my boy, but if she does, I will fly to Japan and fight her (after a detour to fight Koji for all his goddamn puns)

and then Nier

my issues with some of the visual elements aside, the fights were hella fun...but the story had me all ???????????????????????

like, the stuff with the dig site chief and Komra I’m enjoying, but everything else...no. I was definitely a little confused for the CF and PB portions of the story, but the Tower at Paradigm’s Breach just...explains absolutely nothing in a meaningful way? and I really feel that this portion they went hard on the Nier/Drakengard references so I was left feeling, “I don’t know why this is important or what the implication of this very obvious reference is.”

like, Return to Ivalice from the get-go was an obvious homage so I just tuned most of it out until we got some sweet sweet Dalmasca/FFXII stuff, but even with this raid series being another crossover,  I felt like there was a mystery and buildup that was being well-handled for the first couple of parts, so this part falling flat is a letdown for me

I’m hoping we’ll get some meaningful explanations in addition to the Komra stuff in the weeklies going forward. cause like. damn. I’m sad about Anogg and heartbroken for Konogg but I don’t know what the context of everything is and I’m really frustrated.

really super glad that we’re going back to original stories for the 24-mans in 6.0.

So, yes! Having a fun time with 5.5, ready for 5.55 to fucking take me out at the knees. today, we do Hatching-tide, custom deliveries, fishing, and Fishing (Unreal)! a girl still needs an Incitatus whistle and also the anteater minion.
