Last piece of the Life Series Winner murals: Joel and his precious car
I have given it some thought and here are some teams I would love to see in the next life series
Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge.
have u ever seen a man so beautiful you started crying
Guys, I figured out why they barely hung out this year
these have been in my brain for literal months now please just get them out of here
architect of the astral library
Sea fog
The very best email in the universe is [AO3] Comment on ________
they did it for me
i appreciate the running trend that grian outlives his teammates but its a little bit funny when people describe what happened in 3rd life as 'outliving' scar. like sure yeah i guess you can outlive anyone if you simply beat them to death yourself. its not. wrong. technically.
The local police, building inspector, and fire marshal are all contesting my 'safety' assertion, or would be if they could reach me past all the traps.
Maslow's Pyramid [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball leading White Hat and Megan to a giant pyramid modelled after Maslow's hierarchy of needs, with each tier labelled after its need on the pyramid, and a comment next to it in the comic.]
Self actualization: [X] Honestly questioning my life choices here
Esteem: [X] People seem less impressed by it than I hoped
Belonging and Love: [X] Friends are worried about me
Safety: [Checkmark] Highly defensible
Physiological needs: [X] Provides basic shelter but no food, water, heat, et cetera.
Caption: I built Maslow's pyramid thing, but it's a total ripoff - it's only providing 20% of my needs.
The 3rd Life finale is incredibly haunting from Bdubs point of view actually. He runs into the final battle at Dogwarts late, watching Martyn and Ren die. He then hears Scar and Grian discussing their next move, that neither has it in them to kill Bigb, and Bdubs bolts. He runs back to the crastle, where Grian and Scar convince him HE needs to kill Impulse. They laugh as he kills both Impulse and then Bigb. It's disturbing to watch Bdubs carry out their dirty work, especially after how frightened he was when he thought they were gonna gang up on him. And then Scar offers the no kill pass. Bdubs wins. They go back to the coffins and laugh like everything is fine. Grian shows up and it's an instant death sentence for Bdubs. Turns out everything isn't fine. They are going to gang up on him. And they kill him.
wow! christmas miracle!
I think Etho should never face reveal, except.
I think Etho should show his face to Bdubs for ten seconds all of once. Then say “nobody will ever believe you.” And cut the Skype call and not respond for a month.
The way the Hermits treat playing HH together like It's sex or something is reminiscent of them using the Decked out decks as excuses for dick jokes.
What's with tango's games and everyone losing their pg status?
wait i just realised something REALLY funny
cleo, pearl, and scott's spawn points are all at the same bed. in the basement.
impulse's spawn point isn't. impulse's spawn point is in the bed upstairs.
so you're telling me the canonical ggggs sleeping setup was:
that's SO fucking funny oh my god ic ant breathe
not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again
Impulse was right that was not one of the stages of grief
where’s that tweet of tangotek saying “im so full of cheese and i have no idea what day it is” because that’s how i feel rn
Ren: Take off the cape, I wanna see your back abs. Cleo: Your babs. WE'VE SEEN THE SCITTIES, SHOW US YOUR BABS.
*Scar removes the cape*
Cleo: Ooh, he's even shinier!
guys is this a banger
At work there used to be a sign on a few things that would say like "if this bubbles, run for your life" and "if you hear thumping run for cover" and "bears can and will kill you" and really in general I wish the park service was more willing to say "you are not at home, you are not at disneyland, you can die here and you can die so badly your family will have to bury an empty casket because no one will risk their own life to collect your idiot corpse."
(guy who shall say voice) i shan’t say
The only person who understands the life series in the realest sense is mister goodtimeswithscar. Too much standing around. Too much planning. Never works anyway. Get out your sword and just blindly swing. Either you die or they do. Ride your friends.
He will never be able to watch a movie in peace EVER
tall claims court
I love Impulse's little nest of pillows, he's so cozy nestled in there, holding his mandated amount of water like a security blanket
I love that the reason they wanted Joe on was to talk about the coup SPOILERS: they never even touch on it
joe's dad being a logician makes so much sense tbh
"a creationist universe where god wants you dead and i play minecraft like a greek hero idiot" is such an amazing way to talk about super hostile maps
HOW IS IT THAT JOE AND SKIZZ BOTH HAVE EDGAR ALLEN POE ANECDOTES OFF THE DOME
Joe having his wedding taking place during the recess of a vehicular manslaughter trial feels so strange and yet so Joe
JOE HILLS FULL NAME DROP?????
"YOU'VE GOTTA BE JOE KING" okay he mentioned on stream that there was a joke that maybe two people would get and I will proudly claim to be one of the two.
"fighting to become an artist" is so validating to Skizz's journey so far. It's gonna be his year anniversary of being a hermit soon and im gonna get emotional about his path this last year
Joe WOULD put on the Scottish Parliament sessions as background noise, love that
"I don't trust any platform with my art. I'm the one that makes the art and the audience is the one that appreciates my art" "I need to be as platform/brand agnostic as possible" "next time Amazon does something terrible to the unions" 👏👏👏
CHEERS REFERENCE, SKIZZ'S SITCOM BRAIN IS ACTIVATED
talking about his streams like a bar and like,,,,, he's so smart about the role of creators and fandom and i just appreciate joe so much
it's funny that they're shocked about the relationships can be formed within fandoms when like,,,,, that's how they met tango
((also if we talk regularly and read this i love you guys <3))
skizz, the worst chat reader ever i love you
i need hermitcraft standup. please. custom texture snowballs as tomatoes or flowers to throw
thinking about a younger skizz using a tape recorder to record his 'genius ideas' and quotes he likes and annoying the crap out of his friends
YES JOE AND SKIZZ TALKING ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF COMEDY AND THE STRUCTURE, THEY'RE SUCH AN INTELLECTUAL DUO
I'm glad that we got to hear Joe's JFK impression
COURT CASE TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Bdubs will only let Doc win if it's funnier for doc to win, because that's how guilty doc was"
Joe quoting Sun Tsu and then going on the stand and said "Your Honor, Your Highness, my client is a baby" in an asymetric star trek dress, that's the Joe Hills Difference
"DELICIOUS" skizz i love how schadenfreude you are
"FIVE DIAMONDS PER F TIER BOOK???" impulse my favorite wet cat
"I'll make one sale every two months" and also implying that the shopping district has property taxes
the delivery on "two. some people say four" was SLICK
"tumblr defines sexyman to mean 'most bizarre, cryptid, creepy thing' " not wrong there.
"well scar is obviously going to win the sexyman competition"
"once i found out that it's for weird, cryptid energy, I knew "oh nevermind I'm gonna win this"
joe hills is my favorite weird guy and he deserved to win
cleo as our nonbinary icon placing third place in the tumblr sexyman poll
All in all, fantastic podcast, and not long enough imo. I hope Joe gets to be there in person one day like he originally envisioned, and there's just an untapped well of information that could go into future podcasts
Reminder that you should subscribe and follow Joe!
BONUS, edited by me, please credit if you use it, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to use it (original screencap under cut):
Life Series assumptions made by my friend (who has asked to be called Batman). He is the funniest person I know.
As a bonus I asked him to guess who he thought “Lilith” was married to, and his guesses were Cleo, Gem, Pearl, and Scott. Of all the people he chose two bisexuals and two who are simply not attracted to women.
