Bad: I don’t think people understand the effect QSMP had on some of the streamers in terms of like… The real raw mental impact, so I’m gonna set the stage for you. [...] Imagine that you were given a friend to play Minecraft with — like your best friend — BUT if this person dies, if they die in the game, you never get to talk to them again. Can you imagine what that’s like?

Bad: If you did not live through the QSMP, if you did not live through that, it almost sounds like, crazy. But I don’t think people realize how much of a joyous experience the Eggs were. They were SO awesome! They were literally so awesome to just hang out with and spend time with.

Bad: I’m not saying I regret it. To this day, I loved the experience. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Even knowing how everything went, I would still do it all over again. [...] I would still do it all over again, because — even knowing like, all the trauma and suffering and stuff like that — because it was just… It was just that fun, it was just that fun.

Earlier today during his stream, Bad shared his experience and thoughts about the Eggs and the significant emotional (and traumatic) impact they had on him and his fellow QSMP members.

This clip a very edited-down version since his commentary was ~13 minutes long, so I highly recommend checking out Bad's VOD if you have the time. (Timestamp: 47:36 - 1:00:14)

Bad: To be fair Chat, I really think the QSMP... I don't think anyone really can relate to it, Chat. It's something that's so... I've told people this before, like– but it's hard to understand. Right? Like...

Where was I? Sorry Chat, I'm losing my train of thought. Look, let me explain Chat– here's the dealio, ok? Here's the dealio, and this is what I mean when I say like, it's important to keep this in mind, Chat. Ok? It's important to keep this in mind:

I don’t think people understand the effect that the QSMP had on like, some of the streamers, in terms of like… The real raw mental impact, so I’m gonna set the stage for you. This is the analogy I’ve given to every person who I’ve like, shared this with. Imagine you meet somebody– [He hears a strange noise] What the fudge was that? Did you hear that?

Anyway– Chip! The story I was just relaying to Chat, Chip, was this: I was sharing this story with them, I said–  I was giving them an analogy. 

Imagine Chat, for example, imagine that you were… playing Minecraft, with like– you were given a friend to play Minecraft with, Chat, like your best friend, and [unintelligible] were like, “Hey, you get to play Minecraft with this person, right? BUT if this person dies – they’re currently your best friend, Chip – but if they die in the game, you never get to talk to them again. Ever again.” Can you imagine what that’s like, Chip?

I don’t think a lot of people understand like, what that does, right? I’m not gonna say that like, it creates this situation, Chip, that like, messes with your head, but it– Chip – but it totally, totally does, Chip. It messes with your head! It literally puts you in a position where you’re second-guessing and thinking about everything, Chip! You’re thinking about EVERYTHING Chip! Ok? And that’s the problem, Chip– is you turn into a paranoid monster because of it, Chip! Like, you don’t understand Chip– I was- I was so afraid of every dirt block, I used to carry a shovel with me Chip, and I would specifically right-click dirt blocks that looked suspicious because mines, Chip– mines could not be shoveled! Like, I was crazy, Chip! But here’s the problem, Chip: that craziness is still there. I’m genuinely like–

I remember thinking Chip, that I would one day– I was like, “I’m going to move past–” here, let’s go up here, Chip. I remember thinking one day Chip, I was like, “I’m gonna move past the underground base, one of these days. You know, one of these days, I feel like I’ll be able to grow and achieve the desire to build a base that doesn’t have to be underground.” But I don’t think it’s possible now Chip, because I think… I just don’t know. I feel like the paranoia– there’s still like, residual leftover trauma from that situation, Chip.

But here’s the problem Chip: I don’t think I don’t think– I don’t think people understand it. Like, I just really don’t. But I also don’t blame them Chip, ‘cuz I don’t think it’s possible to fully understand it if you haven’t lived through it. Like, if you did not live through the QSMP… I’m talking about the QSMP, I don’t- I don’t know if that was obvious– if you did not live through that, it almost sounds like, crazy. But I don’t think people realize how much of a joyous experience like, the Eggs were. Right? I don’t think people realize it. Like, they were SO awesome! They were literally so awesome to just hang out with and spend time with, Chip. So, it’s just one of those things that–

[He’s interrupted by a loud rumble of thunder above them]

Did lightning just strike here? Is it thunderstorming out…? But anyway, Chip. That’s the food for thought.

But that’s the problem– Like, every time it rains in Minecraft, I have to like, look at the sky, and I get this weird, like, second--hand vibe because of the trauma. The trauma, Chip! The trauma is real! But that’s the point– I’m not saying I regret it. I, to this day Chip, I loved the experience. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Even knowing how everything went, I would still do it all over again. 

[He falls down] Dangit, don’t come over here Chip, ‘cuz I’m coming back up! Ok.

I would still do it all over again, because — even knowing like, all the trauma and suffering  and stuff like that — because it was just… It was just that fun, Chip, it was just that fun. I really wi– I don’t think it’s ever gonna be possible, Chip, to give people that same energy, like that same experience. You know what I mean, Chip? I don’t think it’s ever gonna be possible again. Like, EVER.

Because… because like, one: I will say on one level Chip, I will say on one level, like– it’s sort of emotionally like… It’s emotionally devastating, and I think to actually go through that– and this is where like, if I ever do end up going to a– see a therapist, if I ever do end up going to see a therapist at any point, I’ll talk it over with them and be like, “Hey, what do you think about this?” Because I genuinely think on one level, like– it’s created this fear of forming attachments because of like, how things can go. You know what I mean? Like, the fear of getting attached to something and then potentially losing it. Like, it’s- it’s a genuine thing. I think people forget about that.

Like, at the end of the day, everything was RP, right? On the server. You know what I mean? Like, everything was RP, Chip. BUT at the same point, even though it was RP Chip, it was still like– there the reality of you were still playing like, with another person, and you were still getting that experience, and it felt like you were genuinely attached to someone and you didn’t want anything bad to happen to them. It was GENUINELY stressful, Chip.

But at the same point, I don’t regret it, and I don’t think it was a bad experience. I’m– 

Sometimes in life Chip, you go through stuff, and maybe you have a certain amount of like, things that like, can happen, that you’re like, “You know what, maybe this wasn’t a good thing that this happened,” but at the same point, you still aren’t necessarily upset about it, because… it’s like growing as a person, right? Here’s the thing Chip; even bad situations, Chip, can lead to an overall good outcome. Like–

Even if you’re going through something bad Chip, just because a bad thing happens doesn’t mean that only bad things have to come from that. That’s one of the things I tell people all the time, Chip, is that if you go through a bad situation, you can learn from it, and you can use your experience to help others. And you can be that– you can be, at the worst-case scenario, you can be someone for other people who are going through that same experience to lean on when they go through that.I think there’s a certain amount of comfort that comes from that; from knowing no matter how bad your situation is, you’re not the only person who’s experienced it. You know what I mean?

What's better than one bird-ish thing with a gun? Two bird-ish things with guns.

I created this fake screenshot style piece for the cinema art prompt in the AHiT discord server. It's based on a movie idea I've had for a while involving my character working with The Conductor on a western. The plot revolves around the fact that they're the only two birds that look like each other; they meet due to a case of stolen identity and have a sort of rivals to partners arc. I won't go into the details here, but I'd definitely like to make it into a more fleshed out story someday!

Until then, enjoy this dramatic moment where they're being epic cowboys together.

[meteorologears]

I can't even begin to imagine the clevinger mcwatt relationship; that's honestly baffling to me. I mean, I know they share a tent with only each other (which already is fascinating--they have to spend significant amounts of time with each other daily), but at least early on in the book, they're seen co-interacting for perhaps the only time in-text (i.e. this thing:

It's also implied that Clevinger is letting McWatt drive; which given McWatt's piloting track record of seemingly daredevil-esque behavior (flying low over the tents)--why would you do this. How is Clevinger--guy who is notably concerned about Doing The Right Thing--letting McWatt drive? Also, the staff car? So I looked up "who's allowed to use a staff car" and it was exactly what I thought; only officers permitted by higher personnel can do it (or any major/colonel could do it). And we KNOW neither of these guys are majors or colonels, which implies that either

one of them got specialty permission to use the staff car (what is either of them doing that they need access to that. be honest) OR

they stole it (also equally improbable; Clevinger would break out in hives and I just don't see McWatt stealing a staff car? Although maybe you could argue that)

So what was their big plan? Just drive around together in the middle of the night? Were they going to the officer's club together? If they did go to the officer's club together (presumably to drink alcohol), wouldn't Clevinger protest them driving back in the car which they would have to return? And which one of them had the authorization to check out the staff car and why did they need that authorization, if they didn't steal it? And then there's this:

Which like. I don't even know how I'm supposed to read into that. Is McWatt doing it on purpose to bother Clevinger? Probably she's just being silly (key McWatt trait), but still! Clearly they have some kind of insane rapport, and I'm guessing that they're friends--or if not friends, at the very least a mandatory-assigned-friendship by virtue of being roommates. I wish we got more interactions between them/their fucked up housing situation. Would it be a chill situation, or would they be driving each other insane? McWatt at least (from what we know) is neat, and a little bit unhinged (in a fun way), but definitely not as far out there as others.

McWatt is the kind of guy who would buy gummy candy at a CVS and then come back and say "hey do you want some :)" and share it. Clevinger is the kind of guy who would launch into a rant about how 37 of those ingredients are bad for you and why neither of them should be eating it. And then take some anyway in a sort of annoyed fashion. Was it a self-sustaining ecosystem like that?? Did they ever have friends over that annoyed the other one?

I need to know what was happening, actually.

Nick's death is really affecting Blythe, even though he wasn't her bio dad, he definitely play a large role in her life and raising her and is her dad.

[missjanjie]

idk who needs to hear this other than the weirdo i just unmatched with on tinder, but sexual desires/preferences is a spectrum and not a dichotomy

in this case, im not interested in using dating apps to hook up specifically. if it happens, cool, but it’s not something i seek out. honestly even if it’s still via talking through the app, if the vibe is right i would be down for it. but going right into asking for pics/sexting after ‘hello’ is as gross coming from a woman as it would be from a man. it still violates boundaries.

after explaining this to the girl i was talking to, she went on a long rant about how my profile was ‘misleading’ because im a ‘fake lesbian’ and ‘obviously demisexual’

like… not being interested in fucking strangers doesn’t immediately put you on the ace spectrum. if it does, obviously that’s perfectly fine, but it’s really fucking weird to make it so black and white
