life series etho is such…. an enigma to me…..
TLDR; ethos strategies in the life series are like a clock, eventually he’s bound to repeat himself. he deserves to be put in a test tube and studied under a microscope
in third life, Etho didn’t really have any true allies. Like sure, he was part of the Dogwarts alliance, and maybe he teamed with Impulse for a bit, but the wool fort was his. he built that and just let Impulse hang around. He wasn’t committed to anyone fully the entire time, and when he died, he died burning at the hands of his supposed ally who was too focused on winning to actually hold up his end of the bargain. (i could on and on about impulse and his poor decisions in third life, but this isn’t about him)
i like to think that because of this, he learned to do better in last life. making strong alliances with those he felt like he could trust, and giving all he had into his relationship (whether you interpreted it as /p or /r) with bdubs. he had team BEST, and he never ever betrayed them for anything, even when bdubs did. he survived because he was carful and he had his friends. he was safe in his fort and he did what he had to do to survive. his other alliances were fleeting, even fake in the case of scar, but he never stopped fighting for BEST, at least until he realized he had to let them go to have a chance at winning.
perhaps he learned from impulse in third life. maybe he realized that alliances really only existed until you had a better chance of winning with someone else. he was still green when the rest of BEST was red or eliminated, and he realized fast that the best way to win would be to stick with the rest of the yellows. he betrayed his true ally’s to win, and in the end it didn’t matter. he allowed Bdubs to die because of his false promises, and he couldn’t even secure the victory.
double life is when everything changed. etho was soul bound to Joel, the man that killed him in Last Life. they hadn’t ever really interacted all that much, but they knew each other by reputation alone. despite considering leaving Joel for Impulse and Bdubs, once he learned that Joel had made them a boat, he was committed to their relationship (again, either /p or /r) until the very end. he burned the entire server down for joel, and he followed him everywhere and protected him at all costs. he betrayed his ally’s in last life and it cost him not only the victory, but also his humanity (!!!!), and i wonder if he promised himself he wouldn’t allow the same thing to happen with Joel.
If the ship burns, everything burns. that’s what joel said when the red wars were raging and the server was crumbling down. etho was prepared to burn again, but this time, he would burn with his ally. it was just too bad that that blinding courage was their downfall.
now we’re on limited life, and you see him doing similar things to what he did in third life. he has ally’s similar to third life, meaning he’s not fully committed to any of them. while officially he is part of team TIES, his (cough… here we go) family commitments to the Clockers are making that quite difficult. he’s playing multiple sides again, but like in third life, he’ll eventually have to pick a side and watch as his ally’s fight for the very last second.

Etho is in his training arc to win limited life
happy silly day trafficblr
Michigan Democrats have had a truly incredible afternoon: they're about to end the state's anti-union "right to work" law, repeal an abortion ban from 1931, enact universal background checks on gun sales, and pass an LGBTQ anti-discrimination law. All in the last 24 hours
And with your help we can make it 100%.
Made this haphazardly
What must it be like to be on a server with Doc? Every time he posts in the Hermitcraft Discord server must be absolutely insane.
Is anyone available to help me kill 3 wardens that got loose on the nether roof? Sorry actually it might be more like 20
Hey if it's not too much trouble, could no one log on for the next 30 minutes? I'm trying to transport an ender dragon I pulled into the overworld and loading chunks could mess it up
Anyone want to play a children's card game? I outsourced my deck building to a think tank made of hundreds of people and I want to absolutely destroy someone in a match
Does someone know a good rap artist to collab with? I want to make an anthem for the nation I founded in my massive hole of a base and Snoop Dog never got back to me
So we're not having a team meeting, just an informal brainstorming session? Cool, can I invite Christopher Paolini? Yeah the guy who wrote the Eragon books
If you see any ghasts flying over spawn town, I released like 30 of them as a prank. There should be like 2 left so don't kill them, they're an endangered species
I left that shulker at spawn FOR A REASON. Whoever took it, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF. RETURN IT OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
Just a heads up guys, I'm inviting some Mojang devs on to the server so I can show them the cannon I made that can shoot an arrow through 3000 solid blocks in one tick and immediately destroys a full set of netherite armor
Grian was annoying me so I built a cannon that shoots charged creepers at his base with startling accuracy. Then he used it for his own gain so I build a goat mech that poops explosives to guard my base. What do you mean that's not how normal people handle disputes? He's clearly the unhinged one!
Be careful going into my base, I have a pet warden at the bottom of the perimeter. No, a PET. Yes it's there on purpose, his name is King
No one touch the chunk loader at spawn, I'm using it to transport items thousands of blocks instantly. No, of course it's not an intended feature but I still managed to pull it off in vanilla, didn't I?
How did the world eater go? Well I needed to use 3 minecraft accounts so it would run properly and at one point it was disrupted by solar flares, which I think might have been God trying to strike me down for my hubris. But other than that, yeah it went well!
turn on the light! 🌟

Way to go Minnesota! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
I feel like US conservatives went from a 3/4 to 7 on transgender people over the course of a year and a half.
Basically, if this passes, the state Florida will take away your children if you are transgender or one of your children is transgender (as the bill notes it will take away cis children if they have a trans sibling).
Absolutely monstrous.
IF YOU ARE UNMARRIED, DON'T HAVE KIDS, AND HATE YOUR PARENTS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE A FUCKING WILL
this has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood probate lawyer
I've seen a few posts of people from varying us states saying "why is no one talking about x new anti LGBTQ+ bill/law in my state?" and I need you guys to know that unfortunately part of the reason you're not hearing much about your specific state is that it's not just your state. there are currently 321 anti LGBTQ+ bills in the us
you'll notice that several of these states have more than 10. Missouri and Oklahoma have 31 and 34 respectively. and some of these have already passed or are well on their way. living here has become exponentially more terrifying. and even people in states with 0 bills should be worried because they are absolutely not going to stop at state level legislation, the next step is federal law. it's really time for everyone in the us to be vigilant right now. connect with people in your community and start or get involved in movements for change, starting on a very small local level. I know it gets really discouraging looking at maps like this. you're probably not going to be able to help everyone in every state, but you might be able to make a big difference with your local community

Shout-out to a friend for showing me this!!
To all my non-minecraft youtube followers if you retain one bit of information based on my posts please let it be the fact that kakashi from naruto and shrek from shrek are canonically soulmates in the minecraft cinematic universe and they are currently going through a divorce
So um, I keep forgetting to post here but beachwood creature if you're free on Thursday afternoon to hang out 🙈🙈🙈
Anything.
Crowdfunding is now open for The Sheridan Tapes Season 3.
Let’s Get Started.
www.seedandspark.com/fund/sheridantapes3
The Sheridan Tapes is a paranormal mystery show with lots of suspense, multiple pov, excellent graysexual rep, queer main characters, cool folklore monsters, monsters you've never heard of, flashbacks, mysterious semi governmental agencies, enough answers not to be totally frustrating, enough loose ends to be continually gripping, enough hope both on the emotional side and for the literal central mystery to not be totally depressing, and you should listen to it! And if you like it, you should consider their crowdfunding on seed&spark!
Listening to Heart made me cry because it was so refreshing/comforting to hear someone come to terms/be comfortable/blatantly state their sexuality
The way sam "thesheridantapes" bailey talks about his sexuality is making me emotional. I'm coming to terms with being on the ace spectrum lately and having that kind of representation is helping a lot, idk why this character in particular, maybe it's just the mental state I'm in right now, but I'm in tears everytime he talks about his asexuality, it's like I'm just realizing that it's Allowed, it's okay if I'm like this and I'm not missing out on anything. This is why representation is so fucking important.
I will talk about The Sheridan Tapes all day if you let me

[ Image I.D : A key scene from the podcast “the Sheridan Tapes” depicting Bill Tyler and Maria Sol in Sam’s apartment at night confronting him about his past. Bill, an athletic Black man, has his arms crossed across his chest and is asking Sam, who is off screen “ Who suffered Sam?”. Maria, a short, fat Latina woman stands behind him holding a prescription pill bottle in her hands with a look of concern.

Hi tumblr, long time no see. Here’s a doodle from twitter that I forgot to post here. Originally made it for ace day and then, to no one’s surprise, did not finish it in time 🖤🤍💜
[Image ID: A colored sketch from the waist up of Sam Bailey from The Sheridan Tapes and Jon Sims from The Magnus Archives. They are standing next to each other and smiling, both wrapped in an asexual flag. Sam is holding one corner with his arm slightly raised and Jon has his end draped over his own shoulder and arm. In the background there is a scribbled light blue square.
Sam is standing to the left. He has tan skin and short dark hair with a slightly longer fringe parted in the middle. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a purple collar. 3 small flag buttons are pinned to his shirt: the grey asexual flag, the bi flag and the trans flag. On his right hand he wears an ace ring.
Jon is a British-Indian person with dark wavy shoulder length hair, a few white strands frame his face. Half of it is tied up behind him. Jon has a beard, circular scars on his face and arms, a long thin scar on his neck and a larger one on his right hand. He is wearing a green jacket over a white t-shirt with 3 horizontal stripes in the colors of the bi flag across the chest. There is a circular pin with the nonbinary flag on his jacket and a black ring on his right hand. End ID]
Hey! I saw you mentioning a podcast that was as good as TMA. I recently finished tma and have been desperate to find a radio show like it. Do you have any recommendations?
Heya! I listen to a lot of podcasts so I'm not exactly sure which this would be referring to but some of my favorite pods to listen to are:
The white vault (supernatural/thriller/horror) it's by far my favorite show on this list, I listen to it on repeat, it's based on documents and recording collected from an outpost after the disappearance of the repair team sent there.
The Sheridan tapes (supernatural/mystery) Sam Bailey is assigned to a new police station and he is assigned the case of Anna Sheridan and investigating her recordings.
I have some other that aren't like recording horror but I love them
There's neighbourly (supernatural/horror?), a podcast about a totally normal neighborhood called little street
Monsterous agonies (supernatural) this is essentially Dear Abby but for creatures of the night
Hello from the Hallowoods (post apocalyptic supernatural horror?) Our host nikignik, a hundred eyes in the dark brings us a view of a post apocalyptic world 20~ years after the case, loveable creatures, found family, evil corporations, I don't know how to summarize it but it's gorgeous and please read the blurb for it
I don't know you're preferences but these are all shows I actively listen to and I don't need to pause at any point for second hand embarrassment, I hope this gives you some ideas! And let me know if you enjoy them! :D
Help fund the final season of the Sheridan Tapes! If you havent checked out this podcast its definitely worth a listen.
"In 2018 famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes. Detective Sam Bailey is tasked with piecing together what happened to Anna Sheridan from the seemingly impossible encounters she recorded, but as the scattered pieces of the puzzle come together, Bailey discovers the picture is even stranger - and more dangerous - than it seemed"
Support independent storytelling and queer artists by helping to fund the fourth and final season of The Sheridan Tapes!
I LOVE when the monster characters are so so human (sometimes even moreso than the human characters)
I love making the Life series more dramatic than it really is so let's talk about it.
The thing with Scott and Martyn as a duo that interests me this season has to do with what we as a fanbase have defined as a "curse". The curses given to players by the fanbase are built on pure coincidence. Example: Jimmy always being first out. We have no idea if this will happen this season and it feels unlikely to happen a 4th time. However, for Scott and Martyn's curses, one of them will break their curse and the other will fall victim to it again.
Obviously, I'd like to remind the court that these are just coincidences. This series isn't scripted, everything that happens is unplanned so how on Earth could I predict anything to hold true here?
Let's start with Scott, shall we? If you find yourself as Scott's closest ally you are DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE!!! So far, Scott out lives all his closest partners.
3rd life, Jimmy died before Scott.
Last life, Pearl died before Scott.
Double life, Cleo died before Scott.
Meaning Martyn is doomed to lose too, right? Not necessarily.
Looking at Martyn's curse, it is basically the same as Scott's. Martyn devotes himself to one person or a whole nation and will always outlive them.
3rd life, Ren died before Martyn and most of Dogwarts also falls with only BigB remaining once Martyn is gone.
Last life, every other Southlander died before Martyn.
Double life, Cleo died before Martyn.
So really, neither of them are at a higher risk than the other. It sort of feels like it... just balances out really. One of them will die before the other. One will break their curse and the other will be doomed for yet another season to watch the ones they care for die.
[Cutting the curtains for a moment, they both have this curse probably because they're both survivors. Scott and Martyn have gotten pretty high placings each season due to their intense and obvious attempts to stay alive. Scott getting 10th, 1st, and then 2nd. Martyn getting 6th, 3rd, and then 3rd again. So I think they're a very good duo this season and I like their chances to atleast place high.]
