#AND THAT WE ARE VAULT HUNTERS

[theminecraftbee]

honestly i do think etho is one of the funniest hermits in hermitcraft vault hunters and its at least in part because he's not making videos much, so we mostly see him in the videos of other people. which means that it feels very much like "one day etho was still kind of uncertain how the game worked and living in a pile of shulker boxes and we looked away for a minute and suddenly he's level 70, has an op lucky hit build, one of the most coherent and lovely bases on the entire vault hunters server, and knows more about the game than iskall, how did that happen." like every time we look away from him we look back and he's gone even more insane. it's so funny,

new Etho setup lore guys

Etho's mouse is about 7-8 years old supposedly Logitech M525 if he recalls correctly (and if i heard correctly) and he got it from Best Buy

Tango (tangofrags): wait, wait this is actually really important, cause I got sent a picture of your setup. What is that mouse? Do you know the model? Etho: It's a Logitech... erm... M525 Tango: 525... is this- Etho: it's a 30 dollar one, Tango: is this from like the stone ages? (i think this is what he says, Tubbo is speaking over him w chat) oh no it looks fine, Etho: it's fairly old, I'd say probably 7-8 years? Tango: oh that's not so bad! 2017, I thought... I-I looked at it and thought he just went to Best Buy and got some random wireless mouse, he's got like 3 minutes of input latency... that's a decent mouse Etho, chuckling: that's pretty much what I did! It was Best Buy actually, Tango: hahaha oh no Tubbo, chiming in: oh I love Best Buy... [Tango and Etho are chuckling] Tango: well I was correct! Etho: It seems fine! Like.. Um... I don't know! I've never had a fancy mouse before, I don't know what I'm missing Tubbo: don't let Tango shame you man Tango: naaa, I'm just, I'm just like, kinda impressed by the setup.

I didn't watch Iskall or Stress but I know they were loved by many people in the community and that the news must be hitting really hard for introjects and kins. I hope you guys are okay despite everything that is going on right now and hope you guys can keep your head held up. As far as we know no minors were involved thanks to Mumbo but that's all we really know other than both Iskall and Stress left on their own accord. Weather Stress left because of Iskall leaving is up to debate but with how close they were I can imagine she's going through it with everyone else.

Please stay safe guys. I know losing a comfort content creator could be very upsetting especially for the younger kiddos who are going through things in their life and found happiness through their videos. Know you're loved and not at all being judged by the content creator you loved. To the Iskall and Stress alters I hope your system is helping you through this and sending you love. To the Iskall alters especially just because the person you are did something bad does not mean you did something bad. You are beautiful and handsome and kind. Don't let the negative things you see about them and the hate they get overwhelm you. Take some time off from the Internet if you have to and breathe okay?

i love how much jack hates vault hunters and talks about how awful they are like babydoll YOU are a vault hunter do not forget your roots

unpopular opinion: borderlands (2024) has many MANY issues but the actors' age isn't one of them. in fact, they easily could've made a fantastic BL movie populated only by ugly octogenarian+ actors.

Me when Hermitcraft Vault Hunters series:

[shinakazami1]

BL3: Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot - notes on Timothy + theories

Ok this is more of me just trying to take notes on his character for some future projects in one place ohisafiosfa

1) Timothy's behaviour and appearance

a) Introducing with his name

In Pre-Sequel, Timothy is established to have a face bomb that prevents him from saying his name. When he gets to Roland, he also says his name rhymes with Jimothy.

But in BL3, he just... introduces himself?

"But my name is just Timothy."

During the DLC, he mentions that his face-bomb stops him from escaping the casino. My best bet is that the face bomb got reprogrammed and can have a limited amount of conditions that might cause it to blow up.

b) Injected with Jack's DNA...or is he

Timothy is the reason why we believe the body doubles (or at least Tim) has Jack's DNA in them, causing them to talk like him.

"Follow this fine ass! Uh, god."

But as we see the body double in BL2, some get voice lines to say to seem Jack. (BTW I really love @kolbasos ' headcanon that Timothy is the only doppelganger that got plastic surgery).

To me, Timothy was onlymade to believe that DNA thing (as DNA shouldn't have behavioral traits in them), just like he was made to believe he was branded with the Vault mark (headcanon taken from @kitkat578 ).

Kit noticed that if Timothy had the same Vault mark as Jack, we would see it through the crack in the mask. Yet it's just not there!! Not a single blue tint anywhere on that skin!

Like, even Customer 1345 has some more resembling of that mark than him. The marks could possibly be just afterdoing when people find out Jack is dead and thus the guy just got the marks which even more makes it weird that we can't see Timothy's mark.

It is plausible that the amnestic anaesthetic mentioned in Pre Sequel tapes is a bit of a key. Timothy might not remember every single operation well enough or might have memories scrapped, so he just has some lies surrounding those moments.

Vault Mark seems like something Jack wouldn't want people to know about - that's why he has the mask, duh. But Timothy knows about it anyway. It's possible that he had some surgery to get the mask hinges on him, and was told he also got the mark just so he would resent Lilith and everybody connected to her.

With the DNA part - I think it's supposed to serve as motivation. Timothy was shit at acting as Jack in Pre-Sequel. Most people knew he wasn't Jack, he even introduced himself as not-Jack, during Space Slam and most people refer to him as Vault Hunter. It's really rare for him to act as the dude he is paid to act as. I think this lie was either told to him or he made it up, as he started at some point to say and think like Jack more. Even if he hates it, giving himself an excuse for it could help him get more and more into the role, or he would talk way more often like Jack.

c) Swearing

A thing that seems to be very silly about Borderlands series is its relationship with cursing. Handsome Jack is a great example of it- he doesn't like some curses. It's why Angel seems to hlt herself sometimes before cursing. Mr. Torgue has a censor wired to his voicebox due to the shareholders so, maybe Jack wants to keep those happy, too.

Timothy seems to be weirded out to being able to say "asshole" instead of a-hole, when referring to Pretty Boy. It's possibly either a voice modulator censorship or another face bomb thing that just like his name, got reprogrammed to only not letting him out.

He gets so happy he says it two times in a row foahissioa (also off top but his planning skills seem to match Rhys' <3)

2) Moxxi

a) Moxxi seems not to trust Timothy. It may be just due to him working for Handsome Jack for so many years. If there is some other reason though, feel free to tell me :0c

b) Date

Timothy mentions that when Jack got "mega-rich", Jack wanted to win Moxxi back, so Timothy went on a date with her. The issue I have with it, however, is when this date could have taken place.

In Pre-Sequel, when we meet Moxxi for the first time, Timothy says this:

"Holy shi-- hi! I'm uh -- Jack. Obviously. And I need your help. Are you SURE we're not dating? -- Wow!"

Due to his reaction, it feels as if this was really their first meeting. But there are only points in the story where the date could have canonically taken place:

Before Pre-Sequel (I think already after wife's death due to Jack's possible bad behaviour in the break up):

For: - Jack had just gotten rich enough to try to get Moxxi back. - Timothy's reaction can be like this due to just the outfit. Moxxi went on the date just due to hunger so she could have dressed more casually (just like in her garage outfit). - Timothy also at one point asks her to marry him. Iif they already had this date, it would also be an aftereffect to knowing each other better.

Against: - This dialogue really feels like their first meeting. - Timothy seems so focused on getting that second date in-game that it feels like it was their last meeting. But it's not a strong point, since it might just be him wanting to get a second date, who knows.

Before BL2:

For: - Jack got even richer. - They already knew each other so she would know that the body double she is spending time with is Timothy. - This moment could potentially strengthen his crush on her after she tried to destroy Jack in Pre-Sequel, esp since this would mean Timothy also would have died

Against: - Jack doesn't seem like a guy who would want a relationship with someone who tried to kill him ohsoai and he was already getting with Nisha - Jack has a part in the casino called "Foxxxi's" - which shows just how much he dislikes her.

While before Pre-Sequel makes sense, both options are plausible.

read regret and literally got POSESSED BY STH to draw this one frfr

Okay so with the new Hermitcraft Modded series (Vault Hunters), we gotta collectively decide as a fandom:

Are we going to tag posts relating solely to hermit vault hunters under the main hermitcraft tag? Perhaps start using a “Hermitcraft Extended Universe” tag?

What tag(s) are we using for hermit vault hunters itself? I’ve seen “hcvh”, “hermit vault”, “hermit vault hunters”, “hermitcraft vault hunters”, etc.

Not as necessary, but what are we saying the “lore” for this series is? Just the Hermits chilling, playing a game in their spare time? Kidnapped and put on that island by some malicious force telling them they must finish in 100 days? Complete alternate universe? Wait until we get more info? I’d just like to see what everyone else is headcanoning!

[theminecraftbee]

you know it's funny. at the start of this week even i would have said only etho and iskall were on pace to actually hit level 100 on time in hermitcraft vault hunters, with a "maybe" on false and stress. the latter part of the vh level progression is HARD after all. but no, looking at the armory now, etho and iskall are in "definitely as long as they do their little bit of grinding", stress and false are a "probably", wels is a "probably", but the BIGGEST surprise is that joe has managed to grind this extremely to the point where yeah, he's below the level i'd want to be if i needed to be level 100 in a week, but i bet he can do it. my skepticism it appears wasn't warranted they are going for it, and i for one and impressed because late-game leveling is a PAIN. good work and that herald fight is gonna be better than anticipated!

[klauswalz]

Your chances of winning just got better.

[shepscapades]

i enjoy your Ben/Harry/Tom ship because Harry, Ben, and Duncan did vault hunters together and I just love the idea of Duncan entirely not realizing the other two were in a relationship

This is legitimately so funny and it makes me think that like. Harry and Ben are actually really bad at hiding it/super obvious about it and Lalna’s just like. REALLY oblivious

[goingdownorup]

I may not win with MCC manifestation but I stay strong on Vault Hunters- IM SO EXCITED FOR TOMMOROW!! With Jojo, Martyn and Etho joining the line up I think you’ll have to pull me away from my computer to do any work I’m so ready lmao

[briefle]

dragon etho actually canon have you seen the way this man lunges at coins

[borderlandsmostwanted]

Having tags for characters with full names like Wainwright/Janey/Tannis next to tags for characters like Clay/Tina/Ava feels so disrespectful but what am I supposed to do. Yes these are my beloved sons Wainwright Jakobs, heir to and current CEO of the Jakobs gun manufacturer, and Clay Borderlands, he borderlands
