#but we respect his craft

[aspiring-hobbit]

I’ve never truly felt feral before but this week’s episode has sent my mind reeling how the frickity frack am I supposed to go to sleep after that there’s so much to unpack I’m still screaming I’m going to have to relisten to it so many times holy crap

So after the last two episodes of tmagp both being written by Alex, I think it’s time we bring back a certain phrase.

So the "Jesper is Wylan's sugar baby" jokes don't bother me TOO badly, but they irk me slightly because they're pretty much based on the fact that no one knows what an allowance is beyond the context of "spending money a parent gives to their child". An allowance in business is an amount of money given to someone for a specific business-related expense, so the "allowance" mentioned at the end of CK is just the amount of money they budgeted to put into the stock market, which Jesper is in charge of. Because you know, he's smart and also Wylan's business partner, not his incompetent pet. Ok maybe the jokes bother me some

Me listening to TMA/TMAGP: man Alex is good at making me hurt!

Me as I progress through RQG: OH, Alex is the WORST, actually!

Fanart of Oscar Wilde from the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast – not the poet from real life, but a fictional version of him who appears as an NPC in a Pathfinder TTRPG campaign run by Alexander J Newall / @rqbossman from Rusty Quill and played by the same. He’s such an incredibly infuriating and entertaining character! It’s now officially my comfort podcast, I usually laugh out loud at least twice per episode. I can’t recommend it enough for the folks who liked The Magnus Archives. You don’t even need to know the rules to understand the story, and if you’re interested in learning how to play TTRPGs, there is a lot you can pick up about playing and GMing for one.

I know the reunion concert was literally just 2 days ago but my bros my guys my dudes I miss WATT so so much and I really do want this show Actually Revived because I miss my cheerleaders, pma's stories and music are fucking great and I wanna hear more, watt has so much room for improvement, and I wanna see watt thrive aaaaaaaa

[stars-are-shining-bright]

anyways i just listened to rusty quill gaming episode 174 and i am Not Okay

[bigmilkagenda]

Honestly this episode might be a Magnus all-timer. The whole thing is sharp, no wasted words at all, absolute banger of a casement, bananas levels of surprises, performances that do SO much work on character and relationship dynamics, mysteries and loose threads to pick up later, for about eight seconds I thought Sam/Celia/Gerry had hooked up, got to hear Sue Sims absolutely killing it as usual, mention of one of my favourite preserves... literally no complaints!

not the TNG crew trying not to doze during Data's poetry reading while I'm sitting here with literally a degree in poetry and on the edge of my seat absolutely vibrating over his poetic prowess

mahogany 🤎🤎❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

AHHHH Thank you kind anon for sending me a color from the The Colors of the Moots ask game list!! You are now my favorite person and have made my entire night thank you so much 🥰 if anyone else wants to make me the happiest person ever and send a color, or reblog it themselves the list can be found HERE. Also all I could think when seeing this one is that line from the Hunger Games where Effie is like “That is mahogany!" lol

Mahogany - let's go on a late night drive together and listen to one of your playlists.

Yes! Let's! However please just be warned that I am very similar to Fictional!Matty in the sense that I get horrifically carsick so I need to be the one to drive... but also I'm not the best driver and I have astigmatism so I see extra bad at night... but we'll be fine I promise I've only hit one decorative rock ever and also I drive a Toyota SUV so we'll be fine 🫡 my only other concern is that you won't like my current playlist very much.... haha

Thank you so much for sending me this ask!! I love these games SO MUCH! I hope you are having the BEST Monday and that you have a wonderful rest of your week!

❤️Ally

2024 EDIT: SIGHHHH...

since this is my most popular post here. regrettably. i'm amending the original and making it worth something.

that is why i am reminding you all:

don't watch this. don't watch his comeback don't give this asshole the attention he craves. he's a racist. he's a transphobe. he's a misogynist.

he is not worth the time, nor the effort. nothing he says is genuine. he lost all credibility, has stolen so much from so many people, and i doubt he would ever genuinely put the work in to rebuild it.

instead, check out the work of queer video essayists who actually care about their craft and/or have been ripped off by somerton:

or check out the work of jes tom, one of several prominent individuals that somerton has stolen work from:

and the work of gita jackson, who has made an atricle about what little options the creators somerton profited off of had (and likely continue to have):

also just... remember that while we have the privilege to have our laughs about something like this, many don't.

make sure that you aren't writing off this, or the ongoing predstrogen situation here on tumblr, or any similar situations, as something light-hearted. as something entertaining. respect the spaces of those involved in any "social media controversy", especially if they are part of a marginalized group.

their safety is more important than our entertainment ♡

in this world of clickbait and youtube trends i have so much respect for the hermits who just keep plugging on doing their own thing. like the integrity of Joe 'im not doing it if it doesn't match my ethics ' Hills, and Iskall 'im not putting out a video if I'm not happy making it' 85, and etho 'never in my life have I made a thumbnail' slab, and zedaph being on his own wavelength is impeccable. wels is always off doing his own thing, and that means we get hermitcraft when he is excited for hermitcraft, and that's great! beef quietly does his own thing and I love it (the team Canada stuff is a vintage feeling YouTube treat as well). Doc's videos are far longer than TikTok culture wants but that's his choice and I respect it so much. Stress is here when she wants to and when she can be and I am always so glad to see her. Mumbo makes what he wants to and I love his bouncing around minecraft building thought processes. Cub does what he wants and it's incredible. I love watching tango work on games, just as much as I love watching him figure out silly things, or run around with zed dressed as ghosts.

You can't put hermits helping hermits on a thumbnail, nor hours of mining resources for someone else. But they're what make hermitcraft brilliant. the very core of Hermitcraft to me, is in the janky tfc videos from demise where he tells people telling him how to play more like grian to get lost, and then goes to play with Cleo, who's hiding in his walls. Hermitcraft is in the laughter. In sending a friend a new computer. In knowing your friend's principles and trying to help them stick to them. In this world of clickbait and youtube trends, there is something at the core of Hermitcraft that carries the core of 2012 youtube, and I think that core is the integrity of the hermits themselves, and the respect that they show for each other and their craft
