… ancient builders.

Given that season 2 of MCSM was made before the Aquatic Update, I find this history of theorizing about ancient builders to be fascinating!

If there’s anything consistent in Minecraft and in MCSM is the absence of romance. Animals and villagers can "fall in love" and have babies, but players can’t interact this way. This isn’t the Sims. At best, you can sneak seductively toward another player in Minecraft or hit them to show your affection tsundere style. In MCSM, there’s no romance. There are hints of feelings, like Ivor pretty much crushing on Harper and keeping her flower, Petra saying Jesse means a lot to her, Jack calling Nurm his « other half », etc. But no explicit « I love you » or kiss. At some point, a character says that Ivor and Harper are « back from their vacation ». Not their honeymoon, their vacation.

So, one thing is clear : it’s not a world where romantic or sexual attraction truly exists. It’s not a world where two « players » (people in this world) can have a child.

Still, time passing and old age is something that exists in this world. We see it with Harper having black hair on her picture with little PAMA in her hideout then grey hair in the present. Not to mention that the Old Builders are clearly designed and told to be older than the Old Order of the Stone, the same way the Old Order is very obviously older than the New Order. And I’ve never written the word « old » this much in my life.

My point is, time passes. Characters age. They grow old. Yet they aren’t born per say. So how do they come to life ?

And the only logical explanation is : they spawn.

They’re players, after all. But if so, how does it happen ? Are there any rules ? Do some people spawn in the middle of a dark forest and risk getting killed by monster immediately ? Or is there a rule where they always appear not far away from an inhabited place ? Do they always spawn at the beginning of a day, like normal players when they start a new Minecraft world ? When they spawn, do they just think « okay, I’m here now, I’m going to make the most of my life in this world » ?

Also OMG OMG OMG I hc Soren and Cassie being Old Builders too! But usually I also add there Isa because this woman has the same vibe as they all are! U have no idea how much I was thinking about Soren breaking up with Old Builders only to go and catch Old Order like "Here we go again".

Imagine Old Builders and Old Order being together- not fully, but Old Builders date Soren and at the same time it's Hadrian X Gabriel, Harper X Ivor and Ellegaard X Harper. Then Mevia and Isa go and boss Magnus around and he's like "Do I have a thing for girlbosses over here or what?", at the same time Otto being just that one chill partner who everyone loves. I can't, my brain isn't braining, am I too much over here?

I agree! Cassie, I know is canon, and Harper, but Soren and Isa are some shared headcanons of mine.

I think it's so funny Soren just having to go " shit... here we go again " because for some reason his relationships fall apart . To be fair with the Order... That's Soren's fault.

If Harper says she is the nicest old builder....

Unlike these two (Cause Otto's cool)

And she is an Expert in Redstone considering all the things we have seen her done in Episode 7

She did left the old builders group to settle in Crown Mesa

Could it be that she was the one who taught Cassie about Redstone?

You can even see in this background, that the banners color palette PERFECTLY match that of Otto and Tim's Armor

And sure they could be coincidence But did you notice this when the White Pumpkin, Lukas and Jesse chase was going on and we finish the interrogation with the Youtubers , we get a view of the main hall of the mansion.

We can see what could be the base for the Tim Armor, Maybe she was the one improvised the design for it?

We even see a portrait of a snowy plain on the right side of this screenshot,

its possible she could have made this by her muscle memory if it is her home and she has been living there for years.

But how did she got into the Games in the first place? Well,

Maybe she was not from the games originally but instead from a random world which was her home world. She was snatched by the old builders to play in the games but seeing how young she is now she was probably 15 or something and Harper was their with the other old builders at that time and

• Mevia •

I found out that outfit from Pinterest (below picture) and I loved it so much, that I thought it will suit Mevia.

I'm sorry, it was more like a test sketch, when I tried to make this pose many times at paper(and screwed up second hand, yep) and also change the proportions in my work.
