Absolutely no transphobia is allowed

right now there is drama in the MCYT Fandom.

As of June 7 2026 Avidmc and Marma1ade have quit content creation. Also as of June 7 2026, creators from the Minecraft server Skyblock Kingdoms (sbk) have come forward about “irrevocable damage [Avidmc and Marma1ade] have caused to SBK and its friends” (quote from Sbk statement on twitter) and have removed them from the server.

Below is a time line of statements, with links to the original, for ease of access. However I want to make clear that every one of these statements does not ask for aggression or violence against anyone, infact many implore the reader not to send any hate or aggression. Instead these statements ask for caution. ⚠️ do not attack anyone for who they support. Do not send hate to anyone involved. Doing so will get you banned across platforms, and make you a shitty person. ⚠️

This is purely for information collection and gathering. Make judgments based on your values and verifiable fact.

undated information below the cut

due to the situation, many are finding themselves in financial trouble. This is a collection of those artists, and their posts asking for help.

Many of the creators who have been affected by this have streamed to go into further detail about the things that were said and done. This is a collection of those streams. I was going to make a summary or clip important parts of the streams but for my own sanity I’m not going to be doing that.

as Legundo says in his stream, it’s important to go out and verify information for yourself. I just am trying to make that easier.

do not go to their streams or channels and ask questions. All of them have said that they will talk about it once and never again.

They also remind us that this is not an excuse or opportunity to spread hate of any kind.

if I miss anyone who streamed to talk about their experiences let me know and I will gladly add them!

CONTENT WARNINGS APPLY TO ALL STREAMS. they will cover heavy topics, none that are specified by the creator so treat them as a blanket trigger warning for all triggers. Especially emotional manipulation

I’m not going to go looking for new stuff from here on. I feel like there is enough information to jump off from, and have a base understanding of the situation.

separate the art from the artist, support the people who need it, grieve and mourn and do what you need to cope, Do NOT send any hate of any kind to ANYONE involved, including the instigators. and remember:

verify your information. Especially if something doesn’t feel right

our favorite creators are human, first and foremost.

Project: Dragonflight is our upcoming debut game, a narrative-driven, 2D endless runner inspired by Alto's Odyssey, Gris, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. To be published on Android devices.

In Project: Dragonflight, you are tasked with retrieving artefacts that have been lost from a great museum, running (yes, running, it makes sense in context) across your home continent to find them. There is, of course, more to the story, but that will all be revealed in the game itself.

Hey fanworks creators!

Excited about the idea of someone creating something based on your fan creation (like podfics, fanart, translations, etc)? On the other hand, do you not want people creating stuff based off your fanworks and don't want to have to turn them down? Or do you have a more nuanced idea of what you are and aren't comfortable with people doing based on your fan creations? Don't particularly care one way or the other about what people create based on your stuff?

SPEND JUST A FEW MINUTES TO QUICKLY GENERATE A FANWORKS PERMISSION STATEMENT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW YOUR PREFERENCES!!!

What is a fanworks permission statement?

A fanworks permission statement (also known as a blanket permission statement or transformative works permission statement) is very simple: it's something you post in a publically-visible place (usually your AO3 profile) that tells other fan creators what you are and aren't okay with in terms of other people making fanworks based off your stuff. It can be as simple as a sentence or two, or as complicated as you want to communicate your preferences clearly.

Who should have a permission statement?

A permission statement is for anyone that creates fanworks! Yes, even if you don't think anyone would ever want to create something based off your fanworks. You never know! It's not egotistical to post a permission statement, it's HELPFUL. Yes, even if you don't want people making something based off your works. It means no one has to reach out to ask you, they can know your preferences right away.

Is it only for fanfic writers?

Absolutely not! It's great for fan creators of ALL kinds to have a fanworks permission statement! Fanartists, someone might want to use your fanart as inspiration for a fanfic or create fanart inspired by your work in a different medium! Podficcers, other people creating in an audible medium might want to insert clips of your podfics into their work, or copy the way you did certain effects! Fanbinders, you might inspire an artist with the way you do your binding! This is really for everyone, because fandom is infinitely creative and who knows how another fan creator might be inspired by your work!

What do I even say in a permission statement?

That's exactly why we built the Fanworks Permission Statement Builder! So you don't have to think about what to say or how to say it. Just spend a few minutes answering questions about your preferences that cover many of the common things people might want to specify, and you'll have a permission statement ready to copy-and-paste into your AO3 profile, or to edit to your heart's content!

Why use the Fanworks Permission Statement Builder?

We are Studio Bug, a game development team of now-university students based in Brisbane, Australia!

We're now working on our debut game - and capstone project - Project: Dragonflight, an narrative-driven 2D endless runner inspired by Alto's Odyssey, Gris, and Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind.

Everything we make is entirely human-made, meaning that there is no Generative Artificial Intelligence anywhere to be found in our work.

Project: Dragonflight (working title) is being made for our final project at university over the course of approximately nine months, and is where most of us met each other, on day 1.

And they agree that yes, they do know how to eat, in theory. The problem is the watermelon. Surely, if they figured out where to start, they'd figure out how to do it, but they have no clue how to get started with it.

This goes back and forth. No, it's not an emotional issue, they're not afraid of the watermelon. They can eat any other fruit, other sweet things, and other watery things ("it's watery?" they ask you). Is it the colour? Do they have a problem eating things that are green on the outside and red on the inside?

"It's red on the inside?"

Wait, they've never seen the inside? At this point you have to ask them how, exactly, they eat the watermelon. So to demonstrate, they take a whole, round, uncut watermelon, and try to bite straight into it. Even if they could bite through the crust, there's no way to get human jaws around it.

"Oh, you're supposed to cut it first. You cut the crust open and only chew through the insides."

And they had no idea. All their life this person has had no idea how to eat a watermelon, despite of being told again and again and again that it's easy, it's ridiculous to struggle with something so simple, there's no way that someone just can't eat a watermelon, how can you even mange to be bad at something as fucking simple as eating watermelon.

https://drmaciver.substack.com/p/how-to-do-everything had a nice list of additional examples like this, with (non-)obvious major insights with regard to opening stitched bags, cleaning your bathroom floor, using a search engine, catching a ball, pinging somebody, proving a theorem, playing sudoku, passing as “normal”, improving your writing, generating novel ideas, and solving your problem.

If you’d asked me six months ago how to get better at something, I’d probably have pointed you to how to do hard things. I still think this is a good approach and you should do it, but I now think it’s the wrong starting point and I’ve been undervaluing small insights. [...]

Every time he tells me this story, his frustration by this point in the story, years later, is evident. He still sounds frustrated by it, despite all the time that passed. Teachers had been giving him crap for years because he hadn't been making much progress with the instrument.

When he got to the private instructor, she acknowledged his frustration, and asked him to try to play for her. He did, and she saw all he was doing. She then did something no one else had done before. She asked him to put his mouthpiece on a different clarinet and try to play the same notes. Like magic, it worked. She looked at the clarinet he had been using and found that the school's clarinet needed it's pads replaced.

He went from last chair to first chair nearly overnight, having been taught far more techniques than typically taught at that age just to overcome the broken instrument preventing him from making noise.

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"
