kris if they were even COOLER

So sorry to rant in your inbox but another part you brought up is spokes narration as this being a silly challenge. But if we’re dipping into the serious narrative and realistic story elements. Spoke is living in someone’s house without them knowing and driving the owners against each other and into insanity. That’s HORRIFYING. And because of the chipper music and the day counter and spokes silly attitude it’s less horrifying, it’s just a silly Minecraft video you don’t have to think too much about it!

But in the terms that the series goes into (with war, grief, all that) it’s something horrible, the fear that someone is watching you. Footsteps in the back of your mind, a shadow that’s moving just too much like a person. A subtle paranoia that you are being watched.

But to spoke it’s just a fun challenge! A game! That’s it, and now he has something to steal and it’s all so fun and silly (and think of how big of a shift this is from spokes season 1 episode, even there it was serious) it truly gives the effect he’s loosing it. And he’s torturing ash and squiddo too, effectively, he admits it himself in the description. That’s weird.

How I feel trying to figure out this episode cause it feels like a atomic bomb dropped in a sitcom haha slice of life episode:

no, yeah, EXACTLY!!!

i've been yapping about how this feels like the most... lifesteal!spoke thing we've seen out of uu!spoke since the whole parrot torture maze thing... it's so interesting to me. because the whole like... living inside someone's base and fucking with them and the whole paranoia is something that feels so lifesteal coded to me... (coughs) and like... the premise is very similar to that mapicc ls video where he lived in spoke's base for a while.

spoke treating it as a fun game/challenge is so reminiscent to how he operated in lifesteal almost? like in his 4hr wormhole video he ends it off by saying he enjoys the puzzle and trying to do something impossible and the challenge behind pulling that stuff off.

this video is like... when i watched those fucking spoke wormhole videos for the first time and thought to myself "haha, what a funny light hearted video haha poopies is a funny name for your endermite haha what a funny bit it is to place bedrock for every subscriber you get... hey how the fuck do you have op btw?"

btw i LOVE reading people's rambles never apologize <3

Odyssey duo my beloved (crying myself to sleep tonight)

Sorry, we'll have to put you on hold

Im going to die happy oh god

A lil spread of my oc Emory!

Things I love about etho, a list from sleep deprived

Someone swears and you hear a clap from etho and or when they stop and clap for editing

The lack of restraint with tnt

The lack of restraint when seeing a bat

The fact that when someone dies or something goes wrong he usually laughs and calls it interesting or amazing

Just his voice dude

The commitment to yes and (see bdubs giving him tnt and egging him on to blow up Mumbo base he puts down four pieces safely on some slabs while bdubs freaks out cuz mad lad did it)

The ability to straight face do something ridiculous

Disappearing from a recording more or less and coming back like yes hello I was here the whole time

Ladders

Aaaaaw yiiie

The hint of a vibe of insecurity when he talks about shit like lowkey second guessing and admitting to not believeing in himself

On the flip side the blatant self congratulation (see: builders move aside cuz I’m here now in s7)

Shinie blue rocks

“This season my goal is to get an anvil kill”

FINALLY SOMEONE THAT FUCKING LIGHTS SHIT UP HES A MIRACLE

Portal corners

The fact that he seeks out a jungle almost every season of hermitcraft because he likes the grass color

The dirty jokes that are still pg 13

The fact that in season 3 of hermitcraft he was asked to help make a redstone door, replied that he only knew how to make the 3x3 one with a hole in the middle (commonly known as an etho door)

Worse than trash at directions

This is an expanding list

Trying to figure out if you’re ace or aro can be so goddamn hard because it’s like, trying to find the absence of something. Imagine you’re at a pond and you want to know if there are any turtles, or fish. Say you find a turtle and you’re like “great! Now I know there are turtles.” Or a fish, now you know for sure there are fish. Or you find both, and now you know for a fact there are both turtles and fish in the pond.

But like, if you don’t find any turtles it might be that there are no turtles or maybe you’re just really shitty at looking for turtles and maybe you THINK you saw a turtle over there or maybe it was just a stick. Maybe there are only a few turtles. Maybe you need to do something special to find the turtles. Maybe a bunch of these rocks are actually turtles but you couldn’t tell them apart. Maybe there are no turtles. You have no idea. Meanwhile some people are saying “Oh there have to be turtles! You’ll find them eventually ;)” or “How many turtles have you found in your pond?” or “Try planting some vegetables at the shore to attract the turtles.” Or “Oh no! What disaster happened to your pond that there are no turtles?” And you’re just standing there wet with an empty net and a tired expression.

But whatever because whether there are turtles or fish or not your pond’s ecology works just fine without them because that’s what eco-communities do they form a system around what they have. You aren’t missing anything if you don’t have turtles you just have a pond system without turtles. If someone tried to change you by pouring a bunch of turtles into your pond it would probably fuck something up.

So you don’t have to be entirely sure. You don’t have to search every inch of the damn pond before you can decide there are probably no turtles. If you want to take the aro or ace label because you think it fits go for it. And if you do find your turtles you can rename the pond. That’s fine.

me and my buddies playing minecraft :) im on the far right!

drawing this made me realize i am in dire need of hand studies :')
