Creators not being okay with seeing their characters be portrayed in a certain way [especially characters that are so heavily tied to their personality's, have the same voice and face as the creator and often even share names with them] is completely understandable. That includes when the reason for that is tied to something very personal like mental health or other things that we, as fans, frankly have no buisness knowing details about.

But that does not give creators the right to police people's creativity and tell fans what they are "allowed and not allowed" to create. People have always created things that not everyone will like and will continue to do so. Fans have always created fan content that not everyone will like and will continue to do so. Telling someone they aren't "allowed" to do something that isn't outright hurting anyone is just taking away their freedom of expression.

Fans should not, under any circumstances, shove their creations into creators faces, especially when those creators have explicitly asked not to. Your place is the fandom space, stay there.

Creators should not, under any circumstances, tell fans what they are and aren't allowed to create, especially when the fan content has been properly tagged and can easily be avoided. Your place is the creator space, stay there.

I fear the line between fan and creator space in the mcyt sphere is being used like jumprope by both fans and creators right now, so here's a reminder for all of you:

Tagging systems are your friend, dni tags are your friends, the block button is your friend, literally just closing social media can be your best friend.

Don't like? Don't watch, read or interact.

"Respect creators boundaries" and "don't police your fans and their creations" can and should coexist. But for that we need to be respectful towards each other and if that means blocking someone for "petty" reasons, then for everyone's sake, please block them.

EDIT:

Okay I know I said that I wouldn't talk about this anymore but there are three additions I have after rereading my post and thinking about it a bit more.

For 1, a clarification on what I personally view as "creator" and "fandom space" because the terms are pretty loose and in retrospect I didn't really specify. To me, "creator space" is when it is in a place where the creator is almost definitely going to see it [think comment sections, stream chats, their discord servers, their tumblr ask boxes of they have them]. Meanwhile with "fandom space" I personally think of pretty much everything else, the content and things that the creators themselves have to seek out to see [think scrolling through their characters tumblr tag or searching for fan animatics]. Lots of people have very different interpretations of those terms and I wanted to clarify what I meant.

For 2, I think boundaries, separating creators from characters and the like is very difficult in the mcyt space because of how interconnected creators are with their characters [for the multiple reasons i listed in my og post]. It creates these very unique situations where there isn't really a right or wrong because yeah, you're all kind of right in a way. In the end despite how interconnected Minecrafters are with their characters, those are still vastly different- characters and creators I mean. They're interconnected yes, much more so than in many other fandoms, but they still, are not the same.

And now for 3, harassment is under no circumstances okay. Wether you choose to abide by creators boundaries [which I will, at least in my writing/creations, for anyone who cares] or choose not to, it does not give you the bypass to go and harass people. If you harass the creators by yelling at them for having boundaries, you are a shitty person. If you harass the creators by shoving content into their faces that they have actively said they don't want to see, you are a shitty person. If you harass a fan by constantly pestering them for not abiding by the creators boundaries, you are a shitty person. And if you tell anyone to off themselves for abiding or not abiding by creator boundaries, you are not just a shitty person, you are a straight up asshole.

Lastly, just to fully hammer it home:

The Block button is your friend. Tag appropriately. Don't like? Don't interact.

Flower Husbands mentioned in the big 2026 [and Jimmy popping off]:

If you're going to criticise a cc at least do it based on actual truth. All you're doing with that argument is show me that you've never actually watched him lmao

"no platonic relationships" The King of QPRs and QPR-like relationships? The guy with like at least 3 lavender marriages under his belt? One half of the platonic soulmates? The empires doomed siblings guy? The guy that shows and represents flirting can very much be a platonic thing and is totally okay and normal with friends you're comfortable with?

"not enough platonic relationships" He has a total of 4 confirmed romantic "relationships" over ALL of his content (at the time of making this) and two of those are unrequited (either on his side or on the other) and one love interest is literally dead over the entire series.

LifeSeries!Scott and V!Scott. Have some scrambled notes/thoughts:

(before the Vampires finale, after Avid was turned and after Past Life)

•Vamp Scott hasn't loved or felt any proper feelings in over 1000 years, he barely shows affection to Shelby, zero to everyone else. Now imagine this cold hearted manipulator swap with Life Scott who literally says "love you" instead of bye, constantly dotes on basically everyone and is one of (if not the most) most caring people in the Life series. Yk a series where everyone is already way more affectionate with each other compared to vsmp where everyone has something against most other people. Life Scott will be kissing people on the cheek randomly, telling them I love you at least 10 times a day and then scold them, for not taking proper care of themselves. Shelby is shell shocked but not complaining. Pyro is having a panic attack. Owen does NOT want to be hugged and is perfectly fine stop asking if there's anything you can do to help-

•Life Scott definitely does an Apo and is on everyone's side, except it actually works in his favour cause he's a Scott Smajor Character so naturally his charisma stats are through the roof.

•I imagine someone wants and tries to turn Life Scott at some point (Avid most likely, possibly Drift too) but they fail miserably because despite not being a vampire, this Scott is even more slippery than the one they know (he's been hunted down SO much,he's used to it)

•at some point there's a town meeting where they talk about how their Scott is a terrible person and they compliment Life Scott a lot and:

Any one in town: Our Scott also has like a proper killcount-

Scott: oh I've murdered a bunch of people

Town: ...what.

Scott: Oh it's fine they all came back! :)

He doesn't elaborate on that.

•I like to think Life Scott would notice Pyros struggles and when Owen makes an off comment about how Vamps Scott treated him pretty badly oh boy does Life Scott tries his best to undo as much of the damage as possible.

•Life Scott is Loyal to a fault, I imagine he Sticks to the people he knows from his home world (Ren, Martyn, Cleo & Pearl), mostly Pearl, as well as Pyro

•Life Scott at Pyro: how do I make him aware of the fact that what hes doing is gonna get him killed without traumatizing and taking his confidence even more

•Meanwhile with the Life series crew, none of them really like this Scott. Sure their Scott makes some quips and jokes sometimes but it's never this condescending or mean or manipulative.

•Vamp Scott tries to manipulate people to like him and fails miserably. They, mostly Pearl, Jimmy and Joel, know when he's lying and call out every time he tries to excuse himself. Him and their Scott do have some similarities, mainly their tells when lying. (Vamp Scott thought he didn't have tells, he does, he just never had someone close enough to him to find them out)

•vamp Scott definitely sees both Avod and Pyro in Jimmy and tries to get him to see the gift that is vampireism. One time he gets super close to biting & turning the other, but unexpectedly (to Scott, they play death games, noone else is surprised) Jimmy fights back. Vamp Scott isn't allowed to be alone after that and rarely is alone with just one other person.

•I bet Pearl is the main person to keep tabs on him. She's like a guard dog and he HATES it.

Vamp Scott: You know I've ruled a lot of people, you're very admirable compared to all the others I've met, I'm sure I could help you out of those games and we'd make a great team back in Oakhurst-

Pearl: Nah

Vamp Scott: Well I could help you here then- maybe you'll change your mind one you see the true power of vampirism, I've got quite a few kills under my belt-

Pearl: So do we all, you're not special, now eat your sheep meat, my wolves worked hard for that.

•At some point Vamp Scott decides that he has to turn someone else. He'll get a proper meal (the lifers have been insisting on him eating animal meat) and once someone can properly understand the beauty of vampirism they'll surely be on his side. He decides on Grian, cause he seems like the defacto leader and has't done anything bad towards vamp Scott. Eooky Mistake cause Grian

1)is an Eldritch Being™ that cannot physically be turned into a vampire

2)bites back.
