Ok, so since Joel is the car, I'd like to point out that this....

... is the 1964 Mercury Comet

and this is Joel's Car:

may I make a suggestion?

JOEL THE COMET

7 HOUR HERMITCRAFT WORLD TOUR?? GRIAN????

Edit: wait it's almost 8 HOURS, WHOA

Bonus-bonus points: Auriga shares a star with Taurus, the bull (like for the cow spawner they just casually had in their base the whole time)

I know we're all thinking about celestial symbolism for joel rn, so despite the fact that i think it would be very funny if we all just used the fucking car itself, i propose "The Chariot(eer)", a constellation known as Auriga, which is latin for chariot(eer), because it fits both the car and the celestial theme.

Bonus points: it's right by the Gemini constellation, and it's biggest star is Capella, the goat.

Just like the last couple Wild Life episodes I ended up starting with Grian and Joel's povs for the finale and BOY what a pair to watch first lol

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

so funny to me that the universal response to being given a cake in minecraft seems to be "aw thanks but im not hungry so you have to beat me to death"

Grian: *happily helping everyone figure out what their cool new superpowers are and how they work and any hidden features*

Also Grian, literally 30 seconds later: Guys, wait! This is a PvP server! It's scary here! Stop frolicking and having fun, this is serious business

i'm too tired for anything more than a sketch but this little moment is living rent free in my head. nobody tell him they're still in ear-shot.

Wild Life episode 7

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Grian having the absolute epitome of an Icarus moment in the new Wild Life is so funny

I love that the impossible minecraft features aren't just "Everything wants to kill you, good luck brute-forcing your way through the game lol." Instead it seems like a lot of it is really difficult to deal with but can be figured out if you're clever about it.

Tree bark is a projectile so strip the logs first. Furnaces overheat and burn you so use a blast furnace that's meant for higher heat. Crafting tables kill you when you craft, but stand underneath it and it can't hit you. Beds launch you to fucking space so put a block above them to avoid stepping on them, Nether portals [REDACTED] so just [REDACTED] to avoid it.

(I just watched the recent two MrMakistein's videos about it and I can't wait for them to go to the nether lmao)

Anyway tl;dr I like that it's not just a rage gamemode and is genuinely just like a proper challenge. Like, very nice MrMakistein 10/10

So far I've only seen Joel and Grian's videos but objectively one of the funniest things is them getting stuck in mini, self-inflicted death loops by stepping on a bed, launching into the air, dying to fall damage, spawning at the same bed, accidentally stepping on it again, rinse and repeat until they finally break the muscle memory that keeps making them walk forward on instinct

"Getting in a boat summons lightning" Odysseus be like

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Grian: No one has ever died up in my base!

Joel: w-

Joel: where are your teammates, Grian?

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

So I've never watched Bee & Puppycat, but watching tiny-Mumbo talking in Computer Noises to giant-Grian while they scheme against the other players is giving me that vibe

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

What Joel wanted vs. what he got

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

SNAIL TO THE FACE

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

I saw Grian's thumbnail/title while at work today and went "WAIT holy shit is this that killer snail thing???" and now that I'm watching the episode I'm so happy to be correct lmao
