I am classing perceived nudity as something which looks nude but isn't (muscle suits, fake nips, mesh tops.) Please keep in mind that perceived nudity often falls under the same visual catatory as actual nudity because y'know. Its perceived. Never assume a rule doesn't apply just because the tits are fake. With that being said...

Check TOS! This goes for conventions, social media and discord servers. Some conventions allow partial nudity as long as nips are covered, others don't even allow crop tops. Even if a convention allows perceived nudity, remember to account for what you are comfortable wearing in public if you are getting public transport / walking to the convention. Especially check if the convention is in a different country as local norms may be different, looking at you TwitchCon. Social media is always a finicky beast so keep that in mind when posting, especially if your content is monetised. Discord servers also have different rules for sharing perceived and real nudity, remember 18+ does not automatically mean nothing is off limits!

Remember your age! Under 18s, please be mindful when cosplaying these charecters. Over 18s, please remember to be mindful in family friendy areas and remember to remind under 18s who dont know better the risks of cosplaying suggestive charecters. I am mainly talking conventions because it's important to curate online experiences and 18+ servers exsist for a reason.

Cosplayer =/= charecter! We are all simping for these designs but remember to be respectful when interacting with other cosplayers and remember that cosplay is not consent! Furthermore if there are any cannon relationships in Pantheon, you re not automatically entitled to that dynamic with another cosplayer just because you are cosplaying that duo. I'm going to tap the remember your age sign again, if an adult is cosplaying and starts their videos with "Minors DNI" please respect this. Same goes for no body comments.

Respect other people's preferences! The bar for what does and doesn't class as suggestive content is going to get VERY low and murky during this SMP. Everyone has different standards on what they class as suggestive, some see it as any amount of skin and others don't class something as suggestive unless it's hardcore DDDNE. My bias for example is I am classing anything a family convention would class as suggestive so yall may not agree with that. At an absolute minimum, if you are uncomfortable with semi nude cosplay content, don't look it up. If you are talking to someone and they say they're uncomfortable with the conversation, back off. TLDR we can navigate this without slut shaming and without ignoring the boundaries of cosplayers and artists.

Additionally, CC's deciding to make a semi nude charecter doesn't immediately bless NSFW cosplay content if they previously have stood against it. Its pretty easy to get a vibe from a CC of how receptive they are - some have been very encouraging of the "OH MY GOD THEY'RE HOT" comments while others haven't - so be mindful and read the room in comment sections and live chats.

PLEASE BIND SAFELY. This is going for trans cosplayers as well as cis ones. If you are looking into getting a binder for a cosplay, please research reputable brands and check the reviews. Specifically cis cosplayers, I don't know who needs to hear this but it is okay to look up advice for trans men when doing research. You're not intruding or appropriating, you are protecting your ribs. Same goes for muscle suits and fake chests, always check if you are allergic to latex or rubber, pick a size that allows you to breath and take breaks. Research thoroughly for trans tape too. There's not many corsets in these designs but binding practices also apply to corsets. Get one that fits and don't tight lace to the point of discomfort.

I'm going to give bandage binding it's own number so it doesn't get lost. Binding with bandages or general strips of material is general unsafe because many pull it way too tight to get chests as flat as possible. It does not matter if your chest isn't a table's flatness, even cis men's chest aren't ESPECIALLY bodybuilder types like seen in Pantheon. You can absolutely use bandages as a way to cover the chest but please remember it is for decoration and shouldn't be the only support you have. Wearing a skin coloured crop top underneath and LOOSELY wrapping bandages is the way to go. Don't be fooled into thinking stretch bandages are safer because they "mould around the skin", its specifically the stretch that carries the risk of not allowing breathing.

Do not use sharpies for tattoos. On the cheap I reccomend face paint, brushing with setting powder and then shit tons of setting spray. On the expensive I reccomend 4 way stretch power mesh in a skin tone and paint on that. You can buy bodysuits made from this and they blend into the skin really well for things like tattoos and body hair. In general though if it rubs off, so be it. Not worth alchohol poisoning.

Do a shake test before going to cons! You never know what will break, snag or come off during the day and if your whole dignity relies on one tiny string, it's going to fail and flash everyone. Run around in your cosplay, shake, like properly flail all your limbs and see what breaks first and needs more attention.

Don't be scared to adapt a cosplay to make it more modest! Cannon accuracy is not the be all and end all and the minecraft community thrives on its re interpretations, so get creative! Example, I'm planning a Legs cosplay but I don't want my entire chest out so I'll be making some adjustments! Additionally, don't shame anyone for not being cannon especially if it ties to covering up. It's not cool and in the context of cleavage it's actually really creepy to request it.

At the end of the day, we are all excited for this SMP and excited for the creativity that will follow. Its very important that we look after each other, look after ourselves and avoid getting into trouble for public indecency.

This list is also not the be all and end all. I am one person with my own biases and I intend for this to start a conversation, not define it. As I said my biases are defined by my experiences at conventions as both a minor and now and adult. There's a lot of conversations which define this one, and while I'd like to avoid engaging in discourse, please share your thoughts! Discussion is how we learn and work out the best courses of action.

Finally, the debate on nudity in public spaces will continue as it always has. We all have different interpretations and beliefs and it's important to remember the divisiveness and layers of the subject when approaching it. No one is immediately evil incarnate and everyone has the potential to have misguided views based on the world we live in, including me, including you.

* sausage woke up a month ago

* legs got his blue a month ago

* just a few days after legs got his blue, olstead stole his accelerant and sold it to ‘rebels’

* the rebels blew up part of thistle hill with the accelerant

* legs didnt stay around to survey the dsmage, he just grabbed his stuff and ran away

* legs probably doesnt know everyone from th since hes a little recluse nerd boy, so he might not recognize them

* sausage woke up around the same time, in a demolished building, missing an arm and leg

* sausage might be from th????

* the original thought i had was what if sausage is olstead but then i thought ‘legs would definitely recognize his father figure snd the guy he LIVED WITH since he was like five so no’

My Flight SMP tierlist because everyone is doing those and I wanna too

and the link for anyone who wants it too

It has been confirmed and said in character that tf!Sausage is old and physically looks around his 30’s which is kinda funny when you think about because almost everyone in the academy is below 30, even Osteon themselves are even younger despite being from the past generation of riders

And it’s even better when you about the celestial metals w that in mind because canonically speaking, the rest of the celestial metals are in their early 20’s or not even 20 like- yeah that’s their older protective brother/sibling Sausage LMAO

There are many implications of Sausage being the oldest are both very funny but also very angsty cuz that man could have been married or engaged or have a life out there that it simply doesn’t remember and probably will never get back too considering he’s a solider in a war but also- that man’s back is hurting 24/7 and it probably gets the worst joint pain ever and he’s also probably starting to show slight signs of aging to top it all off

I just LOVE the implications of Sausage being old sm </3

TF!Legs so betrayed by someone he thought he could trust more than even the Celestial metals, when I get you Legundo

How much of his own bones did he break and his own blood did he spill against stone and wood after the incident with the bandits I wonder? Angry at just how unfair life was and how cruel other people could be. Angry that he survived when the others did not. Angry at himself for hesitating and having to come home to the screams and wails of mourning families because he couldn’t move when he needed to. Just so, incredibly angry and the only thing he could think to do to deal with it was to put himself in pain until the day he could strangle his own negative emotions down deep into his soul and hold them there.

It’s no wonder he’s a force of nature in a fight, since that’s the only time he feels it’s appropriate to actually let himself feel negative emotions. Other than that he tries to maintain control of his emotions as best as he can, to not perfect results. He mentioned that when he did let go he had accidentally killed AJ, feeling guilty over letting his emotions go the way they did. This instance probably reaffirming his not so healthy “stuff everything down into my soul” mentality.

I think he feels that he physically cannot allow himself to feel strong emotions anymore freely. His magic started to encroach into his being and room whenever he was in distress about Pyro, he accidentally killed AJ when she lit just the right match to ignite the fuse, overwhelming fear caused him to freeze up in the most perilous situation in his life up to that point with the bandits during the supply trip. Every incident continues to reaffirm this severe repression of his emotions because every time he’s felt something that strongly something bad happened/was happening. It’s an incredibly unhealthy and cruel thing to do to yourself, and I feel sad that he probably feels like it’s his only option.
