TIME
hc
Further explanation about the whole thing about time in my "NAMES" posts.
---
Essentially imagine that time is a crystal ball that was dropped by someone.
Each shard of it flew to various people of the MC universe, affecting all kinds of walks of life.
Bigger shards made the person more affected by the effects of time while smaller ones affected them less. Additionally the bigger the shard the more impactful the time effects are, the smaller the shard the less impact it has.
The affected person instantly became related to everyone sharing these shards.
And they gained a name or a title, or just anything of the sort that even remotely could be synonymous to the word "time". Additionally parents were compelled to give their affected babies a time-based name.
The chances of a time-player meeting, let alone having a meaningful relationship, are actually pretty slim.
Most, but not all, of these people share some similarities: They can be friendly, talkative, aloof, protective and forgetful; anything can be colorful about them, even if its just one tiny thing like a particular button; they were likely lab creations, abandoned at childhood or orphans; they are drawn to magical things and time-based things/activities/hobbies; likely have some sort of obsession, might or might not have memory issues; might or might not be on the aroace spectrum; gender as a concept atleast somewhat confuses them; relationship and social issues; might have difficulty reading the room or having proper reactions.
Yeah it sounds alot like some kind of IRL mental condition, but really I am basing it off on MC players that I see as time-related.

I was really sick for a while but I’m catching up on minecraft SOS and as a warmup I painted Sausage’s Monolith build! Feels good to just sit down and bang something out in an hour again 💪

my favourite headcanon when dealing with whatever the hell mcyt’s names are is that everyone just has a fucking universe assigned string of characters (the username) which everyone knows and is what the universe calls you by, but serves no actual functional purpose by itself
in society, the username is used as the legal name because its convenient - at any given point a username is unique to one person and you can easily identify someone by username
but obviously, the username is random and as a casual name it may not work - “Grian” is a fine name but “BdoubleO100” is a nightmare to say, so people develop nicknames based off these. some people go as far to have nicknames completely divorced from their username - e.g. “Jimmy” for “SolidarityGaming”
usernames probably bring up a lot of questions. they seem random, not affected by environmental or genetic factors in any discernible way. they’re more likely to contain words - or things that are kind of like words - than a truly random string of letters. I imagine there being a lot of meaning ascribed to them - like certain numbers symbolising certain things or certain words detailing something for your future. example: people with “7” in their name are more serious (supposedly. it’s kind of equivalent to our zodiac signs. belief varies)
I like to think about all the implications of this naming system. xB off-handedly said that Joel’s username is “SmallishBeans” so he’ll only be calling him “Beans” and not “Joel”, does this imply that some people believe your nickname must be derived by your username and consider nicknames that aren’t illegitimate? what about people that want to change their username? there’d be less name changes than our world (since names aren’t family or gender related) but it’s certainly possible (as you change the username of your minecraft account), but is there a stigma against it? rejecting the very name the universe gave you? are “rare” names (such as with small character count or palindrome etc) considered lucky or unusual?
(using the term “nickname” for ease of understanding because that’s our closest equivalent but in-universe this isn’t really what they are. better term “casual name”? “nickname” implies it isn’t your real name or is a cute shortening, whilst this would definitely be considered your name, just one of two types)
i just have… thoughts.

old picture asf but i just cant get over how funny it is that kat being named after ninja was the shelter's doing and not connor's. why did they call her that
it's literally so funny. i love the heading at the top that's announcing her as a themed kitten like it's a limited release special
