(Thanks to @wholeftrandomizeron for this idea and design for papa star)
One summer, Simon decides to make a Minecraft SMP based on the “Lore” his fans have given to the character “Papa star” aka Grace’s faceless character. (This is pre face reveal of Grace)
The fans are hooked! Who plays papa star? Grace himself. It’s the most clear you can hear Grace’s voice as Grace either recorded his lines or they brought a mic for this series and it’s actually Grace playing. They both have custom skins of their characters in the story.
I can see Grace tormenting other people, and is like only one in whole server who has command access
Oh he absolutely does! He rarely comes online a bit but when he does, it’s like a god has come down to grace (ha) their presence 😭
Grace is incredible actor, like he's acting all sinister and villainous in front of others whenever he manages to join, perfectly playing psychotic wild card villain, and only acts sweet in front of Simon, and the moment Simon turns around he gets all villainous and menacing again.
And as it's SMP, and there's other content creators there with their own fanbase, other people draw fanarts of him being all psychotic and evil like, and considering how at first couple sessions Simon and Grace didn't interact, people outside of Simon's fanbase didn't know they were married, so Grace had managed to build up quite the reputation in SMP fanbase
Oh my god yes!! Grace in this SMP summed up in two photos
I can imagine when Simon and Grace interact in other videos for this SMP people start shipping them two and people outside of Simon’s fandom ship them and Simon’s fans are like “guys you know he’s actually married to the papa star irl, right?” And other fandoms are like “?!?! WHAT?!”
Other streamer who’s part of the SMP: papa star, could you grant me this-
Grace as papa star: No. Not allowed. I’m making a rule that for 30 minutes you can’t use any tools for requesting something from me
Simon: *asks the same thing as the other streamer*
Grace as papa star: of course I can do that for you, my sweet moonlight!
Yeeesss, but I think people outside Simon's fandom don't know about Papa Star nickname for Grace and instead use his in-game name for him, whatever it is.
I think it would be very fucking hilarious if Simon's fanbase are actively gatekeeping information about who is playing that psychotic wildcard villain, and so people outside Simon's fandom has vastly different view of their dynamic than the fandom.
And wouldn't it be great if their first ever interaction in SMP both were acting out their first meeting in their lore, where everyone except Simon could see that Grace is just manipulating him
Just Simon asking the other players “can you guys see that?”
The other players “see what?”
“I swear I saw-“
Simon keeps “seeing” papa star and one episode starts to make a temple for him.
Yeah, and it's very beautiful temple that is made using yellow glazed terracotta in it's design, and Grace just for fun of it blows it when he was almost done.
And I think there's huge arc where DawnNodes(his Mc name) intentionally riles up all players against each other, and there's many sickass fanart of Papa Star from SMP's fans where he's either aura farming, or is portrayed as evil gremlin.
I think SMP fans most of the time view their c! characters relationship dynamic, like how DreamXD and GeorgeNotFound's dynamic played out, but more sinister?
Oh my god yes!!!
Simon sees a sign that is someone saying “he’s not real.” In the temple
Grace loves being able to be evil and sinister because most of the time he’s sweet and kind for his students.
Yes! He loves to be evil,especially considering there won't be any consequence for him being his mean bitchy self.
I think SMP fans gave them their own ship name before learning that they're legit are couple and there's tons of compilations where "DawnNodes just being menace to society" or were he's acting all lovely dovely with Simon.
I think one of the key features in the SMP are that it has immersive portals that's let's you create portal of any size, and they use it to create sorta backrooms effect where lore wise dreamscape is bleading out and showing it's true face, and SMP fanbase don't learn it until much later it, because Papa Star is gatekeeping information, because he doesn't want to let them out, just so he could corrupt them into monsters/leech off of them lore wise
Meanwhile Simon's fandom is having blast and field day with evil!Papa Star, and there's many fanarts and fanfics where Papa Star is being all sinister >:3
