Minecraft Evolution - Tumblr Posts
sure grian sure...
(context- grian talking about his EvoSMP in an early episode where he just introduced The Watchers- an all seeing group of eldritch monsters that feed off negative emotion and leave cryptid bedrock symbols around the server...)
image id: Screenshot of a comment written and pinned by Grain from 4 years ago. It has 4.8k likes and 338 replies. It reads:
“Hey guys that are commenting that there is “Roleplay” involved. There isn’t any. Don’t get put off, just give it a chance. In this series we will be visiting the old versions of minecraft. That means at some point, the whole server has to update. The symbol is going to be the way that we progress. You’ll see! Don’t get your panties in a twist guys!. this series will remain a normal SMP... But with the twist of going through different versions”
end id.

(Notice: Warning of eyes. Nothing too scary but it’s good to mention)
The Rift’s spirals seemed to straighten as the thirteen hermits passed through its veiled wall. Lights within the lab flickered and sparks seemed to fly from machines. A heavy whirring sound came from Grumbot’s fans as he watched emotionless.
Then, as the last hermit disappeared through the portal, everything went silent. The machines all ceased their movements as if on a clock. Sheep stopped baaing and slimes were as solid as a chunk of ice.
Grumbot’s blue eyes flickered next as a cracking sound came from within. Boops and beeps echoed in the empty chamber as crumbled, and ripped, papers poured out of the printer.

All the lights went off as a heavy fog poured out of the portal. Following the fog, the swirls within the portal shifted and formed into tiny eyes that seemed to multiply and look around wildly.
Suddenly, all eyes seemed to focus on one thing:
Grumbot.
Grumbot stared back, the fans that powered his circuitry whirred louder as he kept staring. Then, his eyes too became a deep, mystical purple.
A soft churning noise echoed from the printer as three papers flew out.

Ya know, Dream’s character kinda reminds me of the Watchers from a Minecraft series called “Minecraft Evolution SMP”. I won’t explain it here but go check out @/give-grian-rights I bet a lot of you already follow them but still, if you’re not please do, they are really cool and can explain Evolutions and the Watches in more detail and better than I ever could.
But to make a long story short, the Watchers are these beings that watch over the players or “evolutionist” and help them move from one version of Minecraft to the next. However the Watchers would also punish the evolutionist if they did something that went against them (like when Grian went against their instructions and took more than he should have) or upset them ( InTheLittleWood replacing Taurtis as the mayor without an actually election). This is where I draw the parallel between them and Dream: both will punish people if they don't listen to their instructions.
However that's where the similarities end. Because while both parties punished people when they didn’t listen to their instructions, when it comes to the Watchers their punishments were always fitting of the 'crime' and the evolutionist were even given a chance to make up for it. Grian had obsidian placed over all his chests for taking more than he should have when told he should only take stuff from one chest, and then was given the chance to make up for it by burning something, that at the time he desperately wanted. InTheLittleWood made himself mayor after Taurtis disappeared, but the watchers didn't like the idea of him, in their words “wearing a false crown” on his head and in response blew up the mayor’s office as it was a more serious ‘crime’. When it comes to Dream and his punishments however, he doesn’t seem to care what the crime was, he just doles out punishments fitting of the crime or not.
That’s all I really have to say, it was just something I noticed and I bet someone else noticed it long before me but I still wanted to write about it. I still don’t know how to end on of these rambles soooo... bye?
(Really though go check out @/give-grian-rights they can give a better explanation of Evo and the Watchers. I won’t @ them directly cause I don’t want to bother them, but they make some really interesting posts and are pretty cool)
