they haven't fought the Ender Dragon yet. but they've been in the nether, they're trying to find netherite in the most inefficient way and dying to lava and goofing off a lot, but they've also fought things like the Wither and survived so they're kind of late game. and it would be messy, but they could pretty conceivably make it to end game like this.

then one of the server members invites her irl girlfriend. the other irl friend wasn't consulted about this and could have mixed feelings even if it's an objectively good idea (mutual friend, know she's smart and will probably kick ass at it, you've got your junk unorganized in 17 different chests and lost a few netherite bars like that and you need an intervention, etc)

but imagine you're the girlfriend:

it's not early-game anymore. Castle Town has tons of builds, lots of progress made, we've got people we're grieving Noelle never met, in-jokes she won't understand, the team has fought a Titan before and she has no way of really knowing what that means, and she's being asked to just jump in. and jump in just to do what? organize? be consulted? what's her role to play that will make her feel like she's important and valued?

We'll give her our good armor and weapons and show her around, but wouldn't you feel a little bit like a fish out of water being invited in so late into such an already-established dynamic? With seemingly only a few big goals left to work towards?

Genuinely surprised to see this from Jamie p and super glad as well. I feel like it's become such a pattern of seeing white queer creators casually say some racist shit or something to come out and then never properly apologize.

So seeing Jamie Paige be outright "No fuck y'all stupid racist white teens, she'd rather stop making music catering to you than let you make a fool of her art" is incredibly refreshing and makes me glad that to be a fan of hers and feel both seen and comfortably safe knowing that for once someone has the decency not to be a racist piece of shit!

Also go listen to Slayr right now! I remember hearing a couple of his songs before, and liking all of them, and this one is no different. Honestly I hope we get to see more hip-hop sampling and remixes of vocaloid music because its so so cool and wish it was done more often.

A bit more self explanatory, but I'm glad he's confident to state it for the people in the back that Vocaloid isn't just a white people thing. It's a bit bittersweet to me in a sense that a lot of black creators online feel the need to hide themselves, but I definitely understand (I'm guilty of this sometime too the way Tumblr acts sometimes) but I'm glad to see that people are being more openly anti racist for once and I hope this trend doesn't stop.

Also I know it's already his most popular song, but it is such a banger too, go listen to this and the rest of his vocaloid music too!
