reacting to Shubble’s ep. 6 of Empires :)  *SPOILER WARNING.. obviously* oh no Shubble don’t steal the trident your channeling your Afterlife cat Shubble. but Joey also called Shub a lowly witch, which she is very insecure about, so.. fair enough. “I mean, I’m already a criminal, I might as well keep going” FKASJKJF please Shub, that’s so funny- also, leaning more into villain Shelby arc?? jeez, Shelby has to put signs reading ‘Beware of the fog!’, it’s that bad?? that’s really worrying. magic spawn fire? yeah that makes sense, there’s been weirder.. but it summons thunder, and now everybody is just calling Joel ‘Thunder Daddy’ now, that’s... weird. But okay, go off, I guess. OH THE FIRE THING WORKED?? jeez the blue fire (wisps??) is really powerful this season huh? it’s defo the corruption of this season, I mean, come on. breaking out of lore, I wonder if they just changed the weather and the camp fire. probably. Shubble please don’t strike all the creepers you will die this is a bad idea- just take one head and go, yes, leave that one it’s fine. the fire didn’t seem to have a cut between clips tho?? huh, very interesting.. oop Shelby didn’t do her research. ‘this guys not even the right guy’, well that’s a problem. that clip looked like it was cut tho for the fire?? but I mean she did get the creeper head, good for her! ooh she found Pix’s bridge that’s pretty cool. and she stayed in the Sanctuary outpost :) oh shes at Sanctuary now. Sausage needs to make 1 big hat joke by the end of this please. khgash Shub please humble yourself if you keep bragging your so good it’ll be worse if/when they find out. Shelby claiming herself as a nature witch?? hmm... interesting. fire normally wrecks nature so. Shub talking to the nature; ‘great work, big fan’ jkfsak please. OOOH BANNER FOR THE EVERMOORE :O. they are very pretty! a simple design, but it does look magical and plant-y(?) also it kinda looks like a diff banner from a different Empire (maybe season 1) but I can’t place my finger on it? Sausage please- you don’t tell people were laughing at somebody when they came please- poor Shelby shes getting hit in her more insecure spots this episode. llamas in the farm? yeah thats normal. OH NO THE SIGNS OH CRAP THATS NOT GOOD ITS BACK?? also, somebody on my other Shub-reaction vid reblogged and put the tags they thought it was the 13th person or the fog and I thought the fog was a good idea (and with the title of this vid) I think that’s the most likely thing. ‘They are coming for you.’ Damn, that’s... creepy- I’m guessing they is the witch council (all my homies hate the witch council) but still, could be the other Empires or the 13th person on the server. ah yes, the infamous ‘it’s just a prank’ to push away all your worries and fears. also, nervous laughter. yep, Shub, blame it on the llamas. “Who would wanna be here? I didn’t even.” comedy gold- also, more thick fog?? Shelby needs to explore the mangrove in the center, seriously. after she gets wings though maybe, so she can fly out. a ghost on the server?? ooh, that could be possible honestly. doesn’t Pix see ghosts? ‘they were by the campfire’ ‘the campfire was fully cursed’ DAMN OK SO THE FIRE IS BAD?? Shub please don’t aggravate the ghost, you’ve already aggravated a demon before.. also.. buff Shubble?? pop off, pop off. OOH SHUB VILLAIN ARC BUT AGAINST THE COUNCIL?? but also please dont fight them you are strong but you dont know how to use said strength. ooh banner fits well with the mushroom shop building. also, “They can try to take me out of the Evermoore, but this is my home now” wow, that’s... weirdly wistful?? like she didn’t even wanna come, and now she says its her home. oh the ghost is fighting? not again??? Shub, have you have dealt with a ghost before? backstory?? also “and I’m like.. really buff”, please oh my god, Shubble has no right to be this funny... “You can’t be invisible, because I’m the only one who can make those potions”, wait so that’s like... canon? in s1 ppl could make potions even with Gem, but I guess s2 magic is more reformed and only taught to a certain group of people? like Hogwarts? Shelby, sweetie, your not technically a witch anymore, your just doing illegal magic and calling yourself a witch, they might come, but your gonna get arrested if they do come.. ‘the most powerful witches’- Shelby you literally moved a whole universe over and it might have been only a little part of the world but you did it on accident, your magic is that powerful, you just aren’t good at harnessing it. “Trust me, it’s not a nice place” Uh?? have you been to witch prison before, Shub?? or are you just.. saying that to say it?? the trees look like their walking?? the fog is disorienting?? what if thats how people get lost? the trees are actually moving but it doesn’t seem like it and the fog doesn’t help. also pfft, Shub willing to apologize to a tree is funny. oh hi Scott yeah Shub totally wasn’t talking to herself, yep it was the fog, mhm. also Scott’s hat?? its actually pretty cool, I won’t lie. and he needs potions, so that’s good for Shub. ooh Scott’s wings are pretty :). oh witches do canonically fly on brooms whoops, I might need to change my fic to match that... uhhh.. that’s fine. also yeah, everybody is vacuuming now and days cause it’s so much easier. PFFT “you got a Swiffer or something?” also, just the ‘fog’ talking to Shelby? that’s not sus at all. yeah better keep that quiet, people are gonna think your crazy and won’t come. oh wait there’s a sculk sensor and shrieker? man I got it spot on with the deep dark = corruption, huh?? that’s not good though.. if a Warden spawns.. is it in the tree?? seriously what’s got it out for Shub this bad?? “sorry you exist now, my bad, sorry I gave you life” oh my god please- that shouldn’t be that funny... oh its under the tree? that was where the sign was, no? OH SOMEBODYS GOT A POTION, WHOSE DIGGING UNDER SHUBBLE’S TREE?? and splash potions?? jeez, what is happening?! aren’t ghosts coropeal?? actually I don’t think that matters it shot arrows at Shelby so.. no Shub, please, get rid of the sculk it’s not good it’s like worse then the fog please.. and you’ll get startled by zombies and skeletons and like if anybody comes to visit, they’ll get jump scared too. chickens are cool though, that’s fine, but yeah, that’s also an invasion of privacy. oh fWhip is here with his big ears okay- oh he’s just here for mangrove roots okay. OOH BONE MEAL that’s really good for Shubble. oh jeez the fog is leaking out? that’s not fine. also maybe the ghost is just after Shub and Sausage? I would say S names but.. uh.. Scott..  KHJGDSAKHK SHUB NO WE DON’T TEST MAGIC ON OUR FRIENDS. of course she doesn’t notice that not to sound mean but Shelby probably didn’t have many friends at her witch school. OOH BROOM TIME?? ‘doesn’t seem to exist in minecraft’ shshhshs no breaking the fourth wall Shub (/j). YO SHE MADE A BRROM THATS COOL DOES IT WORK- also, her wand and broom have the same color palette? but they dont seem to match any other colors in her Empire?? FSAKJ “I knew I could break the game” please of course Shubble can do that. sakjk she just flies with like invisible wings and rockets with her broom in her off hand that’s funny.

holy shit shelby’s new empires video (ep 4) was a rollercoaster, i was not expecting that. Also, the fact that she struggles to make potions (see.. well, ep. 4), but can casually make a parallel universe on complete accident, like, what the hell?? how are the council of witches not acknowledging that?? like, she obviously has a good knack for magic, so why don’t they teach her well?? and the ending made me think: ooh possible Shelby villain arc? because what normal person goes: oh yeah, lemme just walk through my very intricately made nether farm to throw this letter of expulsion i got to make sure nobody else knows. like, yeah, her reputation is on the line, and if ‘somebody exposes her for the fake witch she is, which triggers her magic, and goes against the ruler(s) and the council of witches’ isn’t a villain arc, I don’t know what is. and she’s also got her wand!! it looks very cool, but I won’t lie when I say it’s not what I thought it’d be. it’s like.. cyan-y at the top and fades down into brown for the handle, but I honestly thought it’d be purple or green. Also, the first big hat joke. thank you for that, fwhip, that was great. more evermoore/mangrove talk about the fog and it claiming souls too (also, is Shelby’s empire called the Evermoore or has she not made up her mind?), and she met Lizzie! but I find it interesting about the fog stuff, like, if the villain arc does happen (press X to doubt, she couldn’t do a villain arc in ALSMP), i want to see her use that to her advantage. when somebody comes into the Evermoore she like, manipulates the fog around them and gets them lost, like, that’d be cool. I’m also a little sad to see her getting rid of so many of the trees, but it’s understandable. i would like to see her keep some more though, and it’d be cool to see how she does her mansion/castle/witch tower/whatever she’s gonna call it. I (personally) would like to see like a run down place that Shelby witch-ifies, but it’s still like surrounded by trees and has that rustic kinda feel to it. her building this season kind of feels like a mix of rustic (see: witch hut) mixed with like colorful things (see: literal giant purple mushroom as her shop). anyways. sorry for rambling, just wanted to talk about Shubble’s new ep! Go watch it, if you haven’t, it’s really good.

Shubble’s ep. 5 of Empires has come out... welp, it’s rambling time. ok the first thing I’m addressing is the fog and like the relationship Shelby has with the mangrove?? the end of the video is really interesting, Shelby going: does the fog look.. thicker back there? or is it just me? nah, it’s probably just me. but like, for me, it did look thicker/heavier/more of it was there. along with the fact Shelby thinks theres something making/manifesting the fog in the center of the Evermoore. also, from the POV’s I watch (Gem, Sausage, Shubble, Katherine), it seems like having a decent relationship with your land is gonna be kind of a thing? Sausage has the whole magic-land thing, Gem... I mean, Gem followed magical wisps that randomly appear? And Katherine had a whole back story about the land splitting underneath her kingdom. so Shubble having an okay relationship, at best, with the mangrove is not ideal. she said that it wasn’t just the other rulers getting lost (or other random people, i guess), she had gotten lost too when she tried to go deeper in.  also, the hint to the gnomes with her villager?! I mean, come on, that’s pretty cool. I wonder if it was just a nod to Shrub, or to the gnome society as a whole? if it was just Shrub, I wouldn’t think she would say thousands of years, instead just a thousand years. if it was the gnome society as a whole, does that imply the gnomes once were around the Empires land? the villager looks a bit different to the one in the Undergrove Shrub had, but witch Shelby is already doing better then gnome Shrub in villager regards. and, the sign? i’d like to rule out a few people; Sausage (a very strong ally to Shelby, also seems the type of person to confront somebody abt something), possibly Jimmy (he’s the law, he would defo confront Shelby), I wanna say Katherine, but unsure (she made Shelby’s hat).  as for who it could be (for me), I’d think maybe Lizzie (yes, they did clear some things up, but its Lizzie, so), False, fWhip(?), maybe Joey. I don’t watch any of their POV’s, so I can’t say for sure. I’d also say Scott because.. he’s the type of the person to do that, honestly, and with his eye being able to see magic auras (i think), he would be the type of person to know that type of thing? but I’m like.. 80% sure he’s like halfway across the map from her, I dunno. a little less about this episode, but I really wanna see a Shubble villain arc. like, we saw bits of villain/evil Shubble in ALSMP, with shadow walker Shubble, and even cat!Shubble stealing things to try to be good (which did not work, karma got her bad), but I think it could work for witch Shelby. She’s obviously got very powerful magic (see; moved a chunk of world to a different universe on accident), and in this ep. we heard from herself that while she’s working on getting better (or I guess, harnessing her magic), she’s going to be a psychically strong as possible, with fully enchanted netherite armor and tools, and she’s also already got her wand. anyways yeah, here’s my rambling :)

oh my god, you guys, i have so many thoughts from Gem’s new episode YALL HAVE NO IDEA... so i’mma drop some here. :D soo, the whole wisp thing is really interesting, mostly because its being represented by soul fire, which is normally only found in the nether or the deep dark which is interesting. why would the sun princess be drawn towards to something found in dark areas? also, the banner found in a cave, in the dark?? also, the fact that we have yet to see night-time in Gem’s videos makes me think that maybe the moon doesn’t like her, possibly makes her weaker or something? I don’t know, i think that’s pretty interesting too. now, for the deep dark being under Dawn, i really want it to be referred to as Dusk or Sunset Cave, because i mean, come on.. dusk is the opposite of dawn, and the sun doesn’t shine there. possibly ‘The Moon Cave’ but that doesn’t sound that cool. also also, you know how in s1 the Crystal Cliffs were associated with the moon, I want Gem to refer to it as if Dawn and the Cliffs were rivals/enemies. or like, for her to read about it in an ancient library of sorts, and be like; an Empire with the moon? oh boy, we wouldn’t get along very well... like really casually, and bonus points if its around one of the other Empires, i think that’d be cool. Back to the wisp thing (cause that’s really been on my mind, seriously), it’s a pretty obvious nod to the wisps in Brave (or maybe not maybe I’m the only one who thought that idk), which is interesting cause Merida and Gem kinda look alike, but the wisp’s in general are just really interesting, you would think they would be related to magic, and if it wasn’t magic, who set that banner there? if it was magic, is Gem gonna go to Shubble to ask abt the wisps? (does Gem even know about Shubble.. like- ) ANYWAYS sorry about my rambling i just have a lot of thoughts if somebody could talk to me about them i would be delighted :D
