MAJOR spoilers for doc’s vod under the cut
as you know, doc’s skyblock banishment stipulates that his feet cannot touch the ground, or one week will be added to his sentence.
this is relevant
in his latest vod, pearl shows up to doc’s skyblock base and explains that she wants to do a hermit tour for her flower shop.
doc is understandably confused since he can’t touch the ground
pearl points out a llama she brought and says that doc wouldn’t be touching the ground if he was riding it.
doc is VERY suspicious about her motives, and so is chat
pearl demands to know what warrants his distrust
“it’s always the innocent-looking ones” doc says wisely
but anyway
pearl bribes doc with golden carrots and he eventually water pillars to the ground and onto the llama.
pearl reassures him the whole way while doc makes incoherent panicked noises.
pearl reminds doc to NOT press shift
doc is too busy panicking to listen to pearl when they’re touring the shop.
except for one bit she did with fireworks which he is moderately impressed by
anyway, he spots an ender chest, and pearl agrees to give him two seconds to grab anything.
doc takes the “that’s amazing!” horn, and is pulled away by pearl before he can take more.
and here’s the punchline:
eventually pearl brings doc back after he freaks out a bit more, and as she leads the llama out the entrance, doc desperately reaches for the ender chest to try and grab more useful stuff
in doing so he accidentally presses shift
…and GETS OFF the llama
his feet are definitively planted on the shop steps
pearl stares at him in horror
he starts swearing and jumping around and calling everything stupid
once he’s done he grumpily gets back on the llama and a very apologetic pearl leads him back
then:
just as they’re leaving the shop
like not ten seconds after the shift incident
a creeper comes out of nowhere and kills him.
it’s literally the middle of the day. this man cannot stop losing
false says “gg” in chat, and pearl a “D:”
this time doc explodes a bit more, much like the creeper
he respawns in his base and drops an f-bomb. he is absolutely beside himself
the aftermath:
pearl comes back with his gear. she is very sorry about the whole thing
doc plays the “that’s amazing!” horn with a sardonic chuckle
“that’s not amazing” pearl responds miserably. probably the first time she’s said no to gem even if indirectly
pearl offers to give him anything he wants, and doc requests a moss block
she leaves to get it and doc sulks a bit more before someone in chat points out to him that he didn’t touch the ground: he touched the steps of pearl’s shop
which is what i was thinking too
anyway doc is jubilant at this realisation and yells “LOOPHOLE” a few times
pearl returns with the moss
she still feels bad but threatens doc not to sue her
doc tells her it’s cool
he’s confident that the loophole means he doesn’t get an extra week
pearl spews a few more apologies before leaving
the moment she leaves doc rubs his hands together like a cartoon villain and says “the whining strat works”
doc i don’t think that was a strat
and for reading all this way:
not very funny but i can’t beat the comedy of doc coping for five solid minutes and the entire premise of pearl risking the wrath of hermitcraft’s judicial system and doc’s sanity to show off her interior design.
