Featuring IGEBM
Purple is my questions, cyan is his answers
-
What are some things you'd like the reader to know about you before we begin?
I’m an avid writer (who specializes in lore and Transformers fanfic), Transformers nerd (LegendarySi is currently being subjected to my lessons on the lore), and metalhead (who loves power and symphonic metal with a passion).
-
How did you find PMC and why did you join?
Time to tell a story y’all have heard a bunch of times.
I wanted to make a skin for a story I was writing (that never got past the outline phase), so I searched upon good skin makers and stumbled across PMCSkin3D.
After making the skin, I wanted to show it to others, so I made an account, posted it, and boom, IGEBM was born.
-
What sort of PMC-er do you consider yourself?
I’m the type that posts daily things (Lyrics of the Day) and stories. Scratch that, lots of stories. Oh, and I’m a social guy who likes talking to people.
-
What is your opinion on the PMC community?
I think it’s a great community… most of the time. We have our drama, and when we do, it’s crazy and usually ends with someone getting either banned or their account locked.
-
What is one of your favourite things about PMC?
I like that there’s so many different kinds of people, especially ones I can relate to. For instance, at school, if I bring up Transformers, I get called emo about 10 times (that only happened once, but still). Here, there’s at least one or two people that I can share my love of the franchise with. (Again, Si ain’t leaving that torture chamber of lore lessons.)
-
What advice would you give to a new PMC-er?
Stay safe online (naturally) and just do what you love.
This isn’t just a Minecraft site; it’s a place where you can express yourself, so take advantage of that.
-
You joined PMC in 2022. What kept you here?
I guess it was the community. For the first 6 months that I was here, I knew no one and only posted skins.
Then, around September, I discover the amazing people on this site and I’m like “Oh my God, this site is awesome!”
-
What inspired you to start writing stories and how do you motivate yourself to continue them?
It started in late November of 2020. After school every day (remote learning), I would tell my mom I was reading on my iPad, but in actuality, once I closed the door to my room, I’d open Minecraft (which I had downloaded in August) and play it.
One day, I was caught, and my iPad was taken away. Left to do other things, I read through The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers, as I had the trade paperback in my room. It inspired me to write “Wreckers: Wreck & Rule,” which was the first story I ever wrote. From there, I wrote more Wreckers stories that served as sequels, and eventually, I have a whole series! After the IDW Beast Wars comic came out a few months later, I wrote a series inspired by that.
I kept writing stories throughout 2021, but in 2022, I began to lose interest. What happened was that I would come up with a series, want to do an ending and then start another one, and then scrap that series and start the next, and the cycle continued for a few months until I just stopped for a bit. A miracle occurred in February, however, when I finally had the motivation to write again, creating PMC: War on the Nether!
What was even more surprising was that I was somehow better: my previous stories were 2 to 5 pages long, and not that detailed, but War on the Nether consisted of 9 long, detailed chapters. For crying out loud, the last one was almost 30 paragraphs!! I guess my motivation was just that I realized writing was something I love and I shouldn’t give up on it.
-
What is your PMC: The Mansion of Shivers series and what inspired it?
PMC: The Mansion of Shivers was a daily series set in the main universe of IGEBM lore featuring me, LegendarySi, and Stormy. In the series, we get invited by a mysterious man named Mr. Shiver to stay at his mansion on a rainy island for the month of October. Over the course of their stay, they experience paranormal activity, but I won’t spoil anything. The final chapter just came out an hour ago, so now you can go and read all of the blogs without having to wait for the next one to come out!
-
Correct answer to the trolley problem?
Personally, I’d pull the lever. The way I see it, the loss of one life is better than the loss of five.
Yes, someone still dies, but think of it as the lesser of two evils.
-
What inspired your persona? (If you have one?)
My persona is based on me in every aspect of it. The general appearance of him looks like me, with brown skin and curly hair (I don’t have red and teal eyes, though, and my hair isn’t dyed). In terms of clothes, all of them are clothes that I own, and his outfit is based on one I’ve worn, with the only difference being that my hoodie doesn’t have a zipper.
-
Why is your username?
My dad originally came up with it for Transformers: Forged to Fight, and it’s just my initials with I the beginning. I don’t know why, but my guess is that it’s mean to be like me saying, “I, GEBM.” I used it again for my Minecraft account, and again for PMC.
-
What are some hobbies you enjoy?
Writing, reading about Transformers, writing, listening to heavy metal, writing, reading, writing, writing, writing… did I say writing?
-
What are some things you are planning to/would like to do in the future?
I’m going to an Aerosmith concert in January, Brazil for a week over Spring Break, and Costa Rica in the middle of July next year. Oh, and I’m visiting my best friend in California in two weeks.
-
What is your favourite (or some of your favourite) colour combinations?
Turquoise, cyan, and purple for life!
-
Favourite book/movie/game/series/fandom/franchise?
I’ve said this a million times already, but Transformers.
-
Does pineapple belong on pizza?
I don’t like pizza, but, like my dad and many others, I think pineapple does belong on pizza.
-
Is the earth a pie?
No, it’s a donut hole. What kind of weirdo would think it’s a pie? Why are you all staring at me like I’m crazy? (And no, I don’t know where the donut is, so stop asking me.)
-
What is something you want to tell about yourself that you probably wouldn't get to in a normal conversation?
I… honestly don’t know.
-
Describe yourself in a single sentence.
A lore writer, Transformers nerd, and metalhead who enjoys making friends and sharing about the things I love.
-
What is one thing you made and one thing someone else made that you'd like to advertise?
For me, I’d like to advertise my upcoming series, The PMC World War, based on the ill-fated roleplay war that occurred in early October between the Chaos Legion and Great Monster Empire.
For someone else, go check out the Skybound Entertainment/Image Comics Transformers series! It’s written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson with colors by Mike Spicer, and the incredible first issue came out earlier this month (and the next one comes out in a few weeks)!
-
One last thing you'd like to say to the reader?
I’m gonna say something sad and something happy. In terms of something happy, don’t give up on your dreams, no matter how many people try to stop you or put you down.
As for something sad, and this is because the message this quote (which was said by a close friend of mine) is from basically ruined a part of my life this morning (as in the day I answered these questions): “Romance: it flourishes in the heart. One which can be so easily torn apart.”
-
These questions were answered on October 25th btw (2023) 👍
I did edit some answers to be more up-to-date (like referring to Mansion of Shivers in the past tense), but you didn’t hear that from me 😏
>:0 how could you sneaky
And that's all for this interview!
