Shubble is an online personality hired by Super League to star in viral Minecraft videos. I wrote several scripts for her - one was partially produced. Sample script below, link to produced video at bottom.
Cat Contest
OPEN ON Shubble wearing headband with cat ears, cat collar, whiskers painted on.
Shubble: Help me, internet, you’re my only hope! We got a group project today. Today, you’re going to help me become a Minecraft character. Yep. This is happening. Minecraft has a contest running right now where people are submitting pictures of their cats hoping their cat will be chosen to become an actual mob in Minecraft. Well, that’s not good enough for you is it? No. It’s not. And so that’s not good enough for me. The plan is for us to convince the Minecraft block lords that I, rather than some bloated tabby or hairless nightmare creature, I should instead be immortalized into digital form to frolic for all eternity with balls of yarn and whatnot. That’s right. I Shubble, your lifelong crafting partner and humble video curator, will soon be transformed into a cat/human hybrid avatar of purest light, drifting through rich lands of infinite horizons, and I guess chasing rodents or some such. The contest rules are pretty vague on that part. I could either be a radiant goddess of power and healing or a hyperactive nuisance that kills birds and gets stuck in Spruce trees. It could go either way. Am I crazy? That’s what the doctor at the mental hospital I broke out of said. Is this idea crazy? Just crazy enough to work. But I need your help! Send us feedback! We need ideas! I already got the ears. I got the collar. I got the whiskers. I got about 7 more hours before I’m recaptured by the mental institution. What more can be done? Should I get a speech coach to teach me purring? Should I learn how to barf hairballs? Should I grow my nails out and shred someone’s drapes? Because I will do it. But I cannot become immortal without your help! Hit a cat girl hybrid up at @SLGMinecraft and tell us how you think we can get Minecraft to accept my highly questionable cat contest submission. Over and meowt! Get it? Nailed it.
Minecraft: Dungeons
MC space Shubble on the mic, and I've got a fan email here that is out of this world bonkers.

Shubble, Rufus here. A couple weeks ago they announced Minecraft: Dungeons. Now I'm an old school DnD guy that loves me some dungeon crawling. Just give me a filthy dungeon corridor and a sharp object to swing at cave bats and assorted rodents and I will get it on like Funky Kong till the break of dawn. Did you see the video announcement trailer?! Awesome.

Let's check out the trailer to get a quick refresher: MC Dungeons

Looks like you can maybe play different classes? From left to right I see some kind of fighter, maybe a paladin, possibly a thief, and the class I'm really excited to play, the battle pilgrim. Did you see that dope buckle dude has on his hat? He's clearly some pilgrim who's been pushed over the edge from colonizing America all day. And now he's taking the fight and his handle bar moustache to the underworld to rock the peeps of the deep - with a straight up pilgrim vendetta. And did you see him use his enchanted shovel to summon forth what will probably be an extravagant feast of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing? I mean, how long do you think a zombie or skeleton would last against a pilgrim berzerker dual-wielding ladles of gravy? One hit? Maybe two? Totally OP. He can probably also summon cranberry sauce golems.
In conclusion, I'm totally psyched for Minecraft: Dungeons and to play the rage pilgrim. If I can customize his outfit I will fasten oversized bronze buckles onto every piece of clothing he wears, and mobs will know their end is near when I rattle and jangle toward them, my buckles clacking and snapping with pilgrimatic wrath. And obviously I will wear an oversized buckle inspired amulet around my neck as a talisman to ward off elder guardians and pilgrim scurvy.
Peace out from Plymouth Rock the House,
Rufus

<<Sighs>> I don't even know what to say about this. I don't think that's a pilgrim at all, Rufus. I think it's a mage or a wizard to be honest, carrying a wand and not a magic shovel. I don't think he can summon mashed potatoes in any way. And what would a cranberry sauce golem even do? Fall on the ground and taste good?
What do you think, peeps? Please don't tell me you think that's a pilgrim in the Minecraft: Dungeons trailer like Rufus does. And please don't make jokes about how the Santa Maria was a totally sick battle cruiser or that pilgrims fought with ensorcelled nunchucks to resolve property disputes. Hit me up by tweeting @SLGMinecraft and let me know where you're at with this.
