no place for strangers

in which BigB realizes that there are a significant number of difference sbetween him and his friends, and in which BigB decides he doesn’t really care that much.
(2333 words)

A portion of the night sky, night for only a fraction of time, is blotted out by the shape of two dark, mottled-grey wings. 

He supposes he’s a little jealous of that, the wings, how they shed loose feathers, how they flutter and swish and practically make no noise at all when extended. He’s a bit jealous of Grian, known Watcher, much more powerful, hands twisted in the reigns of his own creation—the games. He’s as much a pawn in this one as he has been in the others. But unlike BigB, he’s hungry. The killing doesn’t do it for him. Neither does the dying. Grian’s new—the Watchers don’t let him stay full. They chastise him for a million things and make sure he suffers, and at this point, BigB watches it happen. There isn’t much left he can do. He does less Watching and more supervising.

So yesterday my friend had asked our Discord for art suggestions to help with art block and I told him to draw Skizzleman. The dude hasn't ever played Minecraft before let alone watched any MCYTers. So I send him a couple screenshots of Skizz's skin and he draws this. I've been cracking up every time I look at it. Tumblr has made me genuinely forget you could draw them as blocky Minecraft people and this has no right to be as hilarious to me as it is.

Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.” 

“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.

Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”
