I found your blog today so I'm sorry if this is something that you don't like to answer so feel free to ignore this ask! /gen

But I wanted to start watching fruit and illumina and I know nothing about them so do you have any suggestions from where to start? Like specific things I need to know, specific videos/streams for me to watch? Or just really starting watching them and seeing random videos and streams is the best thing to do?

hi anon! welcome!! let's dive in

Channels:

Youtube:

IlluminaHD (main), Illuminother (second), IlluminaVODs (VODs)

Fruitberries (main), Fruitberries VODs (VODs, fanrun, but fruit doesn't save his vods so this is what we got)

Twitch:

illumina1337 (main), illuminomic (alt/no mic)

fruitberries (main), grianstanaccount (alt)

Illumina's main youtube has mostly speedrunning highlights and notable runs (former world records). Fruit's youtube has mostly trapping, UHC, and parkour gauntlet videos.

MCC:

I don't really know what you're interested in exactly or how you came upon fruitninja, but MCC is a safe bet (since a lot of people find new mcyt creators that way)

Here are my recommended MCC povs:

MCC 13 (Illumina on Teal Turkeys with Krinios, Eret, Punz): Illumina's VOD, Illumina's highlights video

MCC 9 (Fruit on Blue Bats with False, Ren, HBomb): Fruit's VOD, Fruit's highlights video

MCC 16 (Fruit on Purple Pandas with Scott, Joel, Grian): Fruit's VOD

Speedrun Showdown:

In Jan/Feb of 2020 Fruitninja teamed up in an event called Speedrun Showdown, where they kicked ass on the first round and got demolished on the second round

Round 1 (Fruitninja vs. Dani & Fireworkss)

Round 2 (Fruitninja vs. Tek & Feinberg)

1 Mouse 1 Keyboard stream:

Fruit and Illumina did a hypixel/MCC practice stream where Fruit controlled the mouse and Illumina controlled the keyboard that can be found here (one of my personal comfort streams)

I made a video compiling the Fruitninja moments (crumbs) in MCC 12 and 13 here

I also have a masterpost of my personal favorite moments from MCC 17 (with clip links) here

Speedrunning: my friend @cat-26 wrote a really cool crash course post giving a quick rundown an all you need to know

HBG: (house builder gang, a group Fruitninja is a part of), my friend @s3er has a great guide about them here

Fandom (on tumblr):

I have a reclist of fruitninja blogs you can find here (although it is a bit outdated because i've met so many new cool people since i made that list)

I also created a discord server for fruitninjablr as well where you can also get to know lots of cool people and come brainrot with us (shoutout @genderfluidtechnoblade for setting up a LOT of it): https://discord.gg/WhrSPc5a3m
