Boeing spent the 1930s-1950s trying to make a bomber that wasn't a complete maintenance nightmare, and then when they made one it stayed in service for 70 years and counting.

I haven't seen anyone else document this so heres how demise is going as of everyone's first episodes, besides bdubs bc he hasn't released as of making this post.

(I may have gotten some things wrong; I didn't have time to completely watch every episode so i might have missed somethings)

Dead: Cub, Doc, Etho, Gem, Grian, Impulse, Jevin, Keralis, Ren, Scar, Skizz, Tango, Beef, Zedaph, Cleo.

I think only Grian, Impulse and Cub have gotten their kill but I didn't check for that so there's probably more.

Alive: Bdubs, False, Hypno, Iskall, Joe, Mumbo, Pearl, Joel, Stress, Wels, Xb, Xisuma

So so far, 15 dead, 12 still alive, afaik. Already half of them are dead, lol.

HI HI!

It’s me the band headcanon guy! (I made the first two)

I just saw the one with the marching gong and I think it’s amazing!

I just want to add onto it :]

With all the drummers on the server and Fall Marching season coming to a close the Hermits make a winterline and a winterguard. (Which its just drumline and color guard indoor. Both separate for the people who don’t know)

At least one year the hermits had a show where Grian got the gong in the middle of everything and he just stood there for an ENTIRE movement. Then at the end a big *GONG* and it rung out for at least 15 seconds!

Now I’m only a trombone guy and nothing else but I also have some headcanons on the winter season for both drumline and color guard with the hermits >:]

Impulse and Skizz are both really skilled at all the drums so they both audition for snare/tenor captain switching off every year and getting them. But they both were on cymbals freshmen year.

Gem and Pearl tried to get them to do winterguard on year but they only got them to a clinic who they actually got on guard was Cub and Etho. They both had a lot of fun but they weren’t a big fan (hehe get it) of the makeup

For the drumline one year there was

Impulse, Joel, and False on snare.

Skizz and Zed on tenor

Tango, xB, and Joe on Bass

Bdubs and Karlis on cymbols

And for front ensemble we have

Grian on gong and concert bass drum and triangle

Scar, Wels, and Beef on mallet insterments (I don’t know all the specifics on these either i just get most of these from my brother who is a percussionist)

Xisuma on guitar and Jevin on Bass

I sadly don’t know that much about color guard to know the actual ranking and stuff to know what hermits would be on what BUT I’m planning on doing winter guard this year when it comes around :]

ANYWAYS thank you for reading more of my band headcanons out to y’all this has been my focus for a while now besides Hermitcraft and its really nice to have a place where I can put it out into the world to see :D

every time I see a headcanon with grian and his gong I think of this:

also I love your band headcanons so much :]

Joseph A. Walker flew the world's first two spaceplane flights in 1963, thereby becoming the United States' seventh astronaut. Walker was a Captain in the United States Air Force, an American World War II pilot, an experimental physicist, a NASA test pilot, and a member of the U.S. Air Force Man In Space Soonest spaceflight program. His two X-15 experimental rocket aircraft flights in 1963 that exceeded the Kármán line – the altitude of 100 kilometers, generally considered to mark the threshold of outer space, qualified him as an astronaut under the rules of the U.S. Air Force and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

Born Joseph Albert Walker on February 20, 1921 in Washington, Pennsylvania and died on June 8, 1966 in Barstow, California when his F-104N Starfighter chase aircraft collided with a North American XB-70 Valkyrie. He was 45.

(Photo:) Walker's F-104 tumbles in flames following the midair collision with the XB-70 62-0207 on June 8, 1966.

Y'all remember that MCYT PJO au I asked for help with awhile ago? WELL HERE'S THE CABINS AND MY EXPLINATIONS BEHIND THEM!!

#1 Zeus Cabin: Jimmy, Joel Jimmy: He's a Zeus kid, but everyone somehow forgets about it. Joel: He's competitive and strong. Also, because Jimmy is his half brother through godly parent, i get to make a fun bit about him dating Lizzie. And one of his origins in Afterlife SMP was a thunderborn

#2 Hera Cabin: Scott Scott: Scott's whole thing is loyalty. Hera is the goddess of marriage and is insanely loyal to Zeus. However, I feel like Hera should get at least one affair. So now Scott can use peacocks as weapons.

#3 Poseidon Cabin: Skizz Skizz: Poseidon kids tend to be really, really loyal to a fault and heroic, both qualities I think Skizz possesses.

#4 Demeter Cabin: Sausage, Shelby, Bdubs, Stress Sausage: This man built Sanctuary in a jungle and has flowers in his hair. He sells wood. There is no other place to put him. Shelby: Mushroom gnome, spooky mangrove witch, powerful storm witch, i need not continue. Bdubs: Moss man. Stress: SHE HAS FLOWERS

#5 Ares Cabin: Martyn, False Martyn: His planet is Mars, which is the roman version of Ares. He ended Limited Life in such a violent way, i can't help it. He was also red for the majority of Secret Life. False: I just feel like False should get to kill people more often.

#6 Athena Cabin: Grian, Pix, Owen, Xisuma Grian: This sums it up pretty well

Pix: Smart man. Archeologist and definitely a nerd. I wanna see him skipping out on training just so he can read history books. Owen: He likes to explore and discover new things in Pirates. In Rats, he's a tinkerer. In New Life, he's an explorer who wants to study hybrids. In Empires, he's a Llama who's curious about how humans work. Just a very curious character overall. Xisuma: Admin. I'm not elaborating.

#7 Apollo Cabin: Gem, Oli, Lyarrah Gem: She is an Apollo kid because of her Empire in S2. She's the sunlight princess. Apollo kid. Oli: MUSIC. MAN. Lyarrah: She writes the captions for the hermitcraft recap.

#8 Artemis Cabin: Pearl Pearl: Y'know, Artemis could've just like... had a kid, even though she took that oath. It wouldn't even have to be with a guy. Gods can change to whatever gender they want. Anyway, Pearl gets to be an Artemis kid because her symbolism is moon, she loves dogs, and will commit murder and hunt at night.

#9 Hephaestus Cabin: Doc, Mumbo, Tango, Impulse, Cub, Zedaph, Fwhip, Iskall Doc: Redstone Mumbo: Redstone Tango: Redstone Impulse: Redstone Cub: Redstone Zedaph: Redstone Fwhip: Redstone AND has a red scarf (don't ask me how that's relevant) Iskall: Redstone

#10 Aphrodite Cabin: Keralis Keralis: Okay, I don't know why, but Keralis gives me the vibes of a very charming person. His voice is nice to listen to, so imagine how useful it'd be if I gave him charm speak.

#11 Hermes Cabin: Scar, Etho, Joe Scar: Trader Scar, scammer extraordinar. Etho: All i must say is Shady-E's. I get "jack-of-all-trades, master of none, often better than master of one" vibes from him. He's funny, he's mischievous, it just works. Joe: Comedy man. Excellent delivery. And, yet again, i look at this man and go "That right there is a multi-talented man with a habit for mischief."

#12 Dionysus Cabin: Joey, Beef Joey: *points at his season one empires theme* i need not say more Beef: Idk, food. I don't really have a reason. I don't know too much about Beef.

#13 Hades Cabin: Zloy Zloy: Zombie man. He writes the Hermitcraft recaps in the dark at 2am with nothing but pure spite.

#14 Iris Cabin: Katherine Katherine: SHE. HAS. COLORS. and also I couldn't put her in Demeter cabin because Shelby is already there and i am NOT excluding Nature Wives from this au

#15 Hypnos Cabin: Bigb, XB, Wels Bigb: Sleepy stuff, right? WRONG. Gaslight. Go in everyones dreams, make fake prophecies, peace out, and cause chaos. XB: I look at his fanon design, I see an alien, and I go "aha he sleeps" Wels: This guy (@dingdinghq) said so and i completely agree. Something about sleeping in S6.

#16 Nemesis Cabin: Edit: wels not here no more

#17 Nike Cabin: Ren Ren: VICTORY. I don't know much about Ren's story in the Life Series, but I look at this man and see someone who has won a lot.

#18 Hebe Cabin: 

#19 Tyche Cabin: TFC TFC: Man goes mining and gets really lucky. That's it.

#20 Hecate Cabin: Lizzie, Cleo, Jevin Lizzie: Witchy vibes. Also, Arson. Cleo: Arson. She uses her magic for Arson. Jevin: He's a magic slime. Also, Arson. All Hecate kids love Arson.

What could have been:

Had the funds been available, the third X-15 was going to be stretched, and a delta wing and new engine were going to be added to allow longer flights or higher speeds and altitudes. North American also pitched adding a pylon to the Valkyrie to allow the X-15 Delta to be carried and launched.

About to post and realized I forgot Xisuma.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

--please pretend that he's taking the picture

Close ups & my thoughts while making this piece below

Took about 7 hours in total, each person averaged around 15 minutes. I went with their simplified skins because I don't have individual designs for all of them, and if I did it in my normal style it would probably be in the 20+ hour range.

I could've done better with the colors, but besides that I'm happy.

Favorite to draw: Gem, enough details to separate limbs and she got a really fun pose

Least Favorite to draw: Hypo, I have no idea what is going on with his skin. Literally went "is that a boob hole?!?" when I first really looked at it. I thought that fan arts added that for fun, not that it was cannon.

Fun Fact: Stress and Xb were orginally switched. Stress would've been very tall

Fun Fact 2: Mumbo was the last to be draw and kept getting moved. Almost didn't have enough room for him

Fun Fact 3: This is the most largest number of characters I've drawn in a single image.

Fun Fact 4: the blocks that Cub and Hypno have are the ones of the first eggs they found
