so people may have seen martyn's recent post about hints for the next life series

which people are obviously looking for clues in. at first glance it appears to just be a normal post but if you look closely there's actually a hidden meaning! if you take the first letter of the rhyming words (eg. (S)lither-(S)lice-(H)int-(P)rice-and so on) you'll get the mess "sshprwvsflfmsstm".

seems innocuous enough, right? but actually, this is part of a vigenère cipher- a type of cipher where the meaning is encrypted using a key word. the key word for this one i figured was 'not' since it's repeated throughout. and when you put that through a decrypting program using that keyword, the results are fascinating:

that's right- it doesn't fucking mean anything

Seeing these two back to back when opening Twitter was sure something.

smth smth builder’s signature styles whatever - I love how instantly recognisable it is to be in a Bdubs build whilst not be jarring. This shot of both sides of the river is a wonderful example

The custom trees. Are so freaking tall in compare to the default, yet their presence doesn’t feel obstructive. You don’t feel ‘blocked out’ from the environment as the deliberate thinness of the trunks, what height the leaves on the pine start at give just enough breathe room to: look through, catch glimpses of the other side, and be invited to Go Through It.

He says it in his commentary, a lot of what he builds is heavily grounded in realism. This area is not meant to be the centre of attention, the purpose of these trees is to Immerse and act as transition as one leaves the rest of the minecraft world and into Bdubs’ ‘more natural’ one — where the trees are grey, and the water is clear.

I’m so fucking serious this random cut of the river is my favourite part in the entirety of this forest, I like how still it looks, I like how clear it is yet how dark it is not only to imply depth but that illusion that the river is reflecting its surroundings how you can even say the river is a dark green! Being able to come to these interpretations for something so simple to me perfectly captures what he wants in builds like these.

And it STILL doesnt feel out of place because he does something like THIS. The way the stream gets progressively more and more opaque until it meets the actual main river is genius work. It gives the impression the water in Bdubs’ place is fresh in compare to the saltier, deeper water of the larger river it transitions.

😭And a final thing, I know the white glass he used was done to suggest rushing water but I swearrr he has like a sixth sense in how to place them perfectly. (Forgive my shitty camera) From this distance if you squint you can see these dark and lighter shadows made by the trees, and by putting where the white spots are placed now highlights these small rays of sunshine poking through the leaves and shining on the river and I think that’s unintentionally the coolest thing.

whhwwh idk how to end this, I just really liked this new video for reasons above and wanted to tell the world why.

Here’s a shaky picture of Etho on his horse if you’ve made it this far :]

no, tommyinnit bisexual was not on my 2024 bingo card. or 2023. or 2022. or 2021 for that matter. bros living a fanfiction wdym he got married to his male best friend and then figured out that he might be bisexual. and tubbo still doesn’t want him which is by far the funniest part of it all

etho is getting the full-force of joel’s homosexual tendencies right now because his real work wife (jimmy) isn’t on the hermitcraft server & he needs his enrichment time where he pesters some slightly* pathetic guy or he’ll wilt like a sad neglected plant

[unfortunatelyreturned]

whatever tommyinnit has going on is unethical nonmonogamy but not like cheating instead its unethical because he's holding tubbo hostage

the CONTRAST between bdubs making types of stones recognizable by shading them differently and replicating the studio ghibli artstyle in his minecraft lawn and mumbo jumbo building half a cliff before noticing hes gradiating from light to dark instead of the other way round
