Y'know. In case anyone wasn't aware. Zircon FakeZircon is a fantastically talented and witty individual who streams Minecraft (including a custom Origins pack that he made himself (and also sometimes in-game Scrabble)), by the way, nudge nudge, and whom you have to thank for some of my own works if simply being a cool member of MCYT doesn't convince you.

He is simply the most guy. He's Zircon FakeZircon.

Hey! Look at me, I’m a distraction! (GO MAX, ZIRCONPOST, GOGOGOGOGO)

Genuine question though, when did you start playing minecraft? What got you into the game initially?

Ooh a distraction! I'd better fully devote my attention to this!

The first time I played minecraft was on a computer in the basement of my grandmother's house on my cousin's account. It would've been a month or two before the beta 1.8 update because the version I played then did not have hunger. I just messed around a bit as it was more my cousin showing off the cool new game he found.

This got away from me so the rest is under the cut :)

Later my sister bought her own account, and while I don't think I ever played on her account I did watch her play and it made me want my own. Fun fact, the minecraft account I play on now is the very same one that my dad bought me back then, what would've been within a month of the beta 1.8 update releasing. (I know that for sure because with beta 1.8 came a slight price raise and my dad complained about the fact that mine and my brother's accounts had cost more than my sister's)

From there I played it pretty regularly although I was never really one for creative or singleplayer worlds, I would play on a LAN world with my dad and siblings all the time tho. I never got tired of vanilla but as my family did we would move on to playing big mod packs, things like FTB and Technic.

At the same time I was starting to watch a bit of mcyt although it was the early days stuff, people like sethbling and antvenom come to mind as channels I watched regularly. I got a taste for the technical side of things and shortly thereafter started teaching myself minecraft commands.

Fun fact #2: back before block ids were saved as strings they were saved as just a number and if you wanted to do anything with commands you had to know those numbers. There were lots of tables out there but after a while I started to get the hang of it on my own, I can still match a good number of blocks to their once upon a time numerical ID.

I don't know what specifically drew me to the game to start but playing it with my family certainly got me hooked and once they moved on from it the technical stuff was enough to keep me sticking around pretty much to this day. I was never much of a builder as a kid (something that is probably noticeable these days) and redstone was interesting to me only so far as seeing what others did with it. I did try my hand at redstone and was for a while the most proficient person at it I knew but I wouldn't say I ever mastered it and my skills with it are certainly rusty these days.

The thing I love most about the game now is probably the grind. I am so happy to just sit and do a repetitive completable task for hours, it's soothing. I also still like playing it with my friends and with my recent foray into Vault Hunters I am finding a love for modded minecraft that I don't think truly ever left.

#orange slices #letters opened #1 more fun fact. My current mc account is gonna be 12 years old this next month

Please please pretty please everybody following me needs to watch this. Blockguy has a miserable time playing Minesweeper set to "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

(From the YouTube channel of FakeZircon, filmed live over on Twitch!)

#the secret is he actually was having so much fun but also losing at minesweeper is painful. #especially if you hit your desk and/or stamp the ground like a damn horse /ref #passenger status #fakezircon #zirconposting #i forget if i had a specific tag for that here

[nightshadeowl]

Why is he a disaster tonight.

#died by stepping into- STEPPING INTO- lava. returned. brought no food with. amazing #passenger status #universal transmissions #zirconposting

[nightshadeowl]

This clip is so dear to me.

#that's such a natural whole-hearted laugh oh my god. ripped itself from their lungs practically #fakezircon #zirconposting #passenger status #universal transmissions

[nightshadeowl]

Found my favorite Zircon quote yet I think. They were talking about color theory

#no seriously that's the context. tried making green dye and got clowned on for trying to mix blue and yellow #fakezircon #zirconposting #sm3 #sm3.14 #pov: bones

[nightshadeowl]

I was serious about being nuts about this, for the record

#passenger status #i'm gonna listen to this for a bit while drawing #i do have work to be doing... BUT...... #i'm almost done with a really nice bit of art >:] #zirconposting

[nightshadeowl]

He figured out shaders.

#AOUGH..... #zirconposting #universal transmissions #passenger status

[nightshadeowl]

Zircon talking about doing away with rain on an SMP. Fuel for the wizard headcanon

#not actually. i don't have a wizard!zircon headcanon #they're just some cactus dude. who does meddle with magic every now and then yeah but only to a point #c!zircon defines a purpose and then does everything to achieve that. (before moving on to the next) #(by contrast cc!zircon (sorry zircon) loves learning in itself they absolutely pick up skills for fun) #all iterations of zircon do stuff for a laugh though that's a constant #universal transmissions #zirconposting

May I have your attention please:

That is all, thank you

#the ''oh FUCK'' here kills me #fakezircon #passenger status #zirconposting #the lof1 remaster is just SO good and lof as a series loves crafting moments like these #anyway. the halloween streams were really fun

[nightshadeowl]

Stream predictions for Zircon playing LOF2:

- wants SO BADLY to play the piano

- appreciates the setting and its historical accuracy but also will ask chat why there's no theatre (was promised theatre stuff)

- gets the Méliès reference, does not get the The Shining reference

- misses the satchel charm dialogue because it's weirdly hidden

- fucks up the chair puzzle at least four times

- gets the clock puzzle first try E-Z

- collects all but like. 3 of the posters (and gets lightly frustrated about it)

- gets the Formless ending

- makes fun of me in chat for having recommended it and having a Type™️ of media (ghost stories)

- we get another "oH SHIT" moment at the maze

#zirconposting #JUST SO I HAVE THIS TO PLAY BINGO LOL /silly

[nightshadeowl]

Having lots of thoughts lately about cactus armor.

#passenger status #zirconposting #also. over the weekend i'm gonna catch up on scar and x i think. scar for sure we'll see about x #i miss the silly guys they've been getting up to such cool stuff #AH. FOR X I MEAN JUST HC I NEED TO WATCH HCVH TOO

[nightshadeowl]

Always going to be funny to me to put on the "CCS GET OFF MY BLOG DNI" act for small creators I know. That guy sends me memes about a childhood story I told them about months ago and yes I am STILL going to get the broom if they're in my notes

#passenger status #zirconposting #also. sometimes it hits me that dawson did THE SAME FUCKING BIT (to crow) #anyway. if dawson used tumblr more often i'd be doing the same thing to him. echo and bones see some of it when they're around

[nightshadeowl]

Zircon Fakezircon is like a planet. To me.

#i had a thought about this #passenger status #zirconposting #<- get revenged. fool.

[nightshadeowl]

Things keeping me from wanting to tear the fucking walls down:

- the "Grimace!" clip

#passenger status #zirconposting #fakezircon #oooooh you wanna watch zircon clips so bad. you know you do #who can be upset when silly goofy guy is being silly goofy? #it's not even the voice crack (though that enhances the experience) it's the adamancy. it's the Urgency #of letting chat know who grimace is
