Maps will usually have "Map Calls" where the parts are parsed out and people can choose to sign up for specific ones. People newer to the scene will usually do first come first serve but you run the risk of those maps never seeing the light of day. A simple way to find open ones is to search "Map Call Open" on recent on youtube but idk if that's the best way.

that is EXTREMELY helpful thank you!

How do people get involved in multi-animator projects? They look so fun, but I feel like I only ever hear about them once they're published. Are they usually an invitation-only thing or am I just missing all the sign ups??

#i've been watching a bunch today and they're so cool #i've been struggling to get through a few full length wips for the life series/hermticraft rn #it sounds so nice to be able to just focus on a 10 second portion for a map #hermitcraft

something something Ren meant the stereotypical angel with you know one pair of wings and a halo and stuff, meanwhile Martyn imagined a biblically accurate one and became terrified of the thought that he reminds Ren of a watcher

the chosen aesthetics of the various redstoners fascinate me. tango and impulse are tinkerers of various mechanical marvels. doc is the industrial revolution personified. mumbo continually casts himself as a silicon valley startup guy. its just. Interesting

Actually I'm convinced team ties in MCC is Skizz's doing.

He looked at Etho, Tango, and Scott with the biggest, soggiest puppy dog eyes known to man and said pwwwwwease and they broke down like cybertrucks in 1 inch of gravel.

Impulse: I told myself I was going to…get Gem to teach me about Tumblr! Guess what I didn’t do? I was gonna have a—I was gonna have a sit down, hands on lesson from Gem…about how to use Tumblr. It was gonna be—a fun little—boomer moment. (Snickers) Y’all are saying no Tumblr. Man, according to—according to some of the Hermits, Tumblr has been a much chill—more chill place than uh, than Reddit. Oh no, you guys just don’t want us on Tumblr, because it’s your—it’s your secret place. That’s why. You don’t want us checking out your Tumblrs, that’s—that’s where you—(laughter)—I see. I see. (Quoting chat) “Scatter.”

#it’s so funny when the hermits refer to themselves as boomers. sir you are staunchly gen x #i think tfc was the only one close to boomer age #impulsesv #anyway gem and joel i know you’re here. don’t let impulse get a tumblr #they’ll put him in a maid dress

So can we talk about Joel revealing in his newest hermitcraft ep that the way Scott and him became friends is that Scott was a fan that came up to him at a convention and then tricked Joel into following him on twitter?

the dichotomy between an attack dog vs a guard dog is like. an attack dog is sent out to carry out violence. it's starved and abused to ensure aggression. it has no other purpose outside of Attacking at the whim of its master. it's constantly on guard because a threat can come from any direction at any time. it's the dog chained up in a basement that's only set loose when there's something to kill.

but a guard dog is protecting instead of attacking. instead of being sent out to fight, it comes home to defend the house. it may be constantly on watch for an external threat, but it is content to lay with the sheep until a wolf comes to the door. the guard dog has a warm place to sleep, and is well fed and treated like a member of the household. it's free to leave at any time but it stays to protect the house anyway. do u get it. do u understand.

Once upon a time, there was a cave, and there was a tree.

Oh, that's not how most people like to start to tell the story. The thing about telling stories is that it's often easiest to start from the ending. From tumbling down cliffsides and rings of cactus and dying just barely out of reach of your king, just barely after him. Of things constantly burning, of the first time being the first to die, of bunkers in the desert and a group of five standing around an enchanting table, waving a flag. Of clocks, and betrayals, and things that weren't actually betrayals (even though they seem like they should be), of firing squads--

That is not how the story starts.

It doesn't even start with a creeper, although I would guess if you asked them about it, more than one of them would probably say it did.

No, if I were to tell the story, I would tell it like this:

Once upon a time, there was a cave. Everyone had gathered in it, with crafting tables and beds. They were being attacked by phantoms. They're chatting about how to solve the phantom problem, because they are friends. They step outside to kill the phantoms, because they can, and because it's funnier, and because they don't know how to be afraid yet.

Once upon a time, there is a tree. It grows right under one of them, trapping them in its branches. "Help!" she cries out. "What's happened?" Everyone scrambles to help cut down the tree together. When she escapes, they all agree it was a close call. It would be awfully silly, they think, for someone to die this soon, and besides, aren't they all working together?

They go back inside and they laugh. They are all green. None of them have an idea of what happens when they aren't any longer. They are all happy.

This changes. It also doesn't.

I start this story with the tree because they all, together, agree that the tree is ridiculous and silly, but all help to cut it down anyway. I start this story with the tree because by the end--

Well. My point is that the tree is a far happier story, in my opinion. My point is also, maybe, that starting with what it would become, well, that won't do at all. Starting with the part of the story that's sad, dramatic, ridiculous--that rather misses the point.

The point is that it started with a cave, and a tree, and everything else came collapsing down after it. It's easy to bury the memory of a time it would be safe to all hide in a cave together, laughing, and save one another from a tree.

It does not do to forget.
