Announcing the first of many, featuring guest narrator CaptainSparklez!
Yo, Mianite Fans!
Weāre in the preliminary stages of making some Season 2 Behind-The-Scenes videos.Ā We have a list of things to discuss, but what would you most like to see us talk about/explain?
Give us your questions, reblog to your friends, spread the word, spread the joy, have a sandwich!
But seriously though, let us know what you would want to see most. :)
The Lessons One Learns
Over a half year since Mianite Season 2ās end, arguments continue, lines continue to be drawn, and friendships remain strained over whether or not the season was a success or a disaster. Ā While I acknowledge I canāt actually end the arguments for others, this far removed and with plenty of feedback externally as well as my own personal experience internally I know what I believe, and am happy to explain how I came to the conclusions I have.The short answer: Ā Mianite Season 2 was successful.
Of course it was. Ā If it was a disaster there wouldnāt be interest in the next season. Ā If it was a disaster then the streamers wouldnāt need bot commands with canned answers to the question of āWhere is Mianiteā thatās repeated in their livestream chats over and over and over. Ā There wouldnāt be a Tumblr fandom, and there wouldnāt be so many people on the sub-reddit still trying to convince people that it was a disaster. Ā Mianite, as far as a Twitch livestream intended to bring in viewers and YouTube VOD views, was unquestionably successful. Ā But there is more to it. Ā
The real answer is: Ā Mianite Season 2 was successful despite itself.
You could fill post after post with text about the lessons learned while S2 was being produced. Ā Iām not sure they would all be interesting lessons, but there were hundreds or even thousands of little ones. Ā But the real lesson for me is that it is less important what Mianite is and more important why Mianite is. Ā The majority of Mianiteās fans arenāt āMianite Fansā, theyāre āTom Fansā and āJordan Fansā and āTucker Fansā and āSonja Fansā. Ā
These fans stuck through S2 and its complicated stories even when confused, irritated, or even incredulous. Ā They kept watching because they enjoy their streamer. Ā I believe the ideal future of livestream shows like Mianite involve learning from and leveraging that realization. Ā Let the streamers choose how to react, how to feel, how to interpret, and how to explain. Ā Let them entertain their fans with the awesome world and setting as the backdrop, not the foreground. Ā
Build the world, build the lore, release the streamers, AND GET OUT OF THEIR WAY.
As expected, three months after the fact my favorite episode of Mianite Season Two is still the Crypt Five: Amniosis episode. I absolutely loved working on this with MrMadSpy. He may stay out of the public eye for the most part, but boy is he a smart dude. I also appreciate CaptainSparklez cutting this two-hour episode into digestible chunks. Itās a great watch both for nostalgic old me and for anyone desiring to see some surreal Minecraft adventure. Wow were some of those moments cool.Ā

As a member of the BlockWorks build team I created a few builds for Mianite season two. Hereās a journey back through my personal contributions. (The bits of architecture in the first three and the Fortress of Fury arenāt mine.)Ā Also as a member of BlockWorks I am open for commissions. Iād like to present the opportunity to those of you looking to add a dose of life to your Minecraft server. Organics (sculptures of people, creatures, plants, etc...) are my specialty.Ā BlockWorks is always looking for new contacts. Drop us a line on our Twitter:Ā https://twitter.com/blockworksyt Or official website:Ā http://blockworksmc.com And if youād be interested in commissioning me personally, a message on Tumblr will do just fine.Ā (To Mianite fans: If you seek my in-game services, you might get to meet someone quite familiar to you.) I hope youāre all enjoying your seasons, whatever they may be. Happy Minecrafting. <3
Opening a Door in the Fourth Wall
Before I get into it, thanks everyone for being with us during the finale. We were nervous and tired and a made a lot of mistakes but ended up with some cool material that we hope will last in memories and inspire lives. We trust you guys to make use of what you see and become better for it ā both the good and the bad ā just as we have learned from our experience.Ā There was a lot of positive reception toĀ āFrom Way High Up,ā the fourth wall breaking book Ianite sent Sparklez from her umbrella consciousness before her final dissolution. In that book she said some things that elicited feels but also provoked thought. A surprising number of you have said itās one of the best fourth wall breaks youāve ever seen. Iām honored you feel that way. Iād like to share with you a little secret as to how good fourth wall breaking can be done. I havenāt read a lot, but I have read one really good thing. Itās the short story in the end credits of Minecraft. Go beat the Ender Dragon yourself for the ideal experience. Otherwise watch here:Ā https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VWsq1JXVWY Itās one of the most touching pieces Iāve ever read. Notice the way the two beings talk. Theyāre not addressing the player jokingly or recognizing the comedic situation that breaking the fourth wall often creates; theyāre intimately discussing the playerās circumstances in light of the connection they have with the player. This is all within canon. They donātĀ break the wall; rather, they step right through it. Theyāre acknowledging themselves and the player as part of the same reality and as brushing elbows from across a veil. Thereās no crumbling of brick or loud crash. Itās a subtle and beautiful acknowledgment of the super-story that links every level of existence.Ā Itās a nod to the fundamental truth that there is no wall. Or at least, it is not a wall that must be broken. There can be a door, or a window, or a curtain, and you might have a key. Sparklez had a key and it was his connection to his Lady. From across universes she found him; from way high up she showed him that Jordan Maron and CaptainSparklez were part of the same story ā that Jordan Maron and Lady Ianite were part of the same story. Jordan Maron is Mianite Season Two canon. And... so are you.
