This Kid Deserves The Biggest Hug Ever Fr - Tumblr Posts

I like to imagine that in some AU out there, Nico beat Minecraft and got to read THE Minecraft poem. He probably got emotional while reading it, shed a few tears here and there, but ultimately felt happy. Comforted.

I was going to originally write a small fic-like story to go with this but I suck at that tremendously LMFAO.. so instead I’m gonna drop some parts of the poem that I think he would have felt really connected to/liked. :,)

[ …Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? ]

~

[ Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. ]

It’s canon that he has always struggled to fit in with those around him, as well as with making friends so I think this part would have hit specially close to home.

[ The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.

And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.

And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love. ]

He thought of his mom while reading this, he misses her a lot.

~

[ You. You. You are alive. ]

~

and of course, the most famous part of the entire:

[ and the universe said I love you

and the universe said you have played the game well

and the universe said everything you need is within you

and the universe said you are stronger than you know

and the universe said you are the daylight

and the universe said you are the night

and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you

and the universe said the light you seek is within you

and the universe said you are not alone

and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing

and the universe said I love you because you are love. ]
