OKAY so I made a playlist of every video that has major lore importance from Jordan's pov in season 1 AND I compiled timestamps for EVERY video for easy consumption
(episodes with the timestamps and context for what happens between episodes under the cut; context is bolded and italicized, stuff in brackets is additional stuff that happens in the episode that is important, but not enough to be in the cut)
1- full episode (26 min)
2- full episode (19 min)
5- 22:55-27:30 (4 min)
8- 12:25-end (6 min)
context: Tom went rogue and started killing everyone senselessly, Nadeshot had shown great interest in joining team Ianite, and Jordan switched to the Sphax texture pack
11- full episode (32 min)
12- full episode (31 min)
context: Jordan moved out of his house and into a secret base so no one could steal his items and kill him repeatedly, and Tucker was given a sword from Mianite called The Blade of Truth
17- full episode (41 min)
context: Tucker and Sonja started construction on a fortress to help defend in the war
19- 3:40-7:45 (3 min)
[at 15:15 Tony Modestep kills Jordan unprompted while invisible and says "1-1" in chat]
context: Jordan helped Tucker and Sonja trap the entrance of their fortress in case of attack, and also mostly moved in
23- 2:40-6:20 (1.5 min)
[Jordan adds a lava trap to the fortress]
context: between e23 and e29 the war fizzles out and basically ends, meanwhile Tom gets a clownfish named Marlin of whom he loves dearly, which Jordan steals and hides under the mianite temple
29- 16:50-end (24 min)
[at 10:50 Declan told everyone to meet him outside his house at noon minecraft time with all of their best items]
context: with the war over Tom built a new house closer to spawn
31- 5:45-13:40 (8 min)
context: now that the war was over they decided to do weekly Purge events (like the movie franchise) in which all theft and murder was completely legal without repercussions
34- 20:30-end (31 min)
[Cronus (the messenger of the shadows) was there as a Purger just hanging out]
context: between episodes 34 and 50 it was decided that everyone would construct a vault to act as their storage system so that during the purge they didn't have to continue to hid chests, and instead would have secure* places to store their items and keep their beds
*people can't break blocks to get in but if they can get in other ways that's legal and encouraged
during that time the build team for hire (the now disbanded FyreUK) showed up as the Wizards, who for a fee (25-100 diamonds) would build anything asked for. Jordan requested Jerry's Tree 2.0 to be built to the right of his house, just off the shoreline.
they built a court house (the quartz house) so that when someone did break the rules they could have a fair-ish trial to determine guilt
Tom also moved. again.
50- 13:55-28:35 (15 min)
[Jordan stole the Dianite armor fair and square during the purge]
51- start 15:25 (15 min)
59- 6:30-10:00 (4 min)
context: they have wands (knockback 10 sticks) that when hit with send you flying
60- 13:00-31:00 (18 min)
61- 4:20-50:00 AND 1:12:15-1:13:35 (45 min)

[this was during a charity stream]

68- 24:35-end (23 min)
context: everyone got god gifts; Jordan got a beautiful forest around his house, Tucker and Sonja got god armor, and Tom got a ship from Captain Capsize
up until this point Capsize had been flirting with both Jordan and Tom, but things seemed more serious towards Jordan
71- 16:40-end (32 min)
context: between episode 71 and 79 ALL vault theft no matter the time became legal, they were also tasked with building an airship to go to a place called Aethoria to rescue Capsize, with Redbeard supplying materials
79- 11:35-15:50 (4 min)
80- 4:25-end (21 min, somewhat optional, it's mostly building and banter)
context: Skipper then got drunk and crashed the ship, forcing them to make a new one, of which Tom used literally all his remaining diamonds to make diamond wings for
the power went out which means the universe forced my hand to do traditional art
haven’t done this in a while and i’m a bit rusty, but i think it turned out fine, especially if you ignore the background xD
also the scanner sort of blurred some parts, tried to fix them as best as possible.
I often ponder the thought of some stressed high school student / college student / young adult going on their computers after a hard day, feeling defeated, before something happens. Either it comes up on their YouTube suggested feed, or they think, “Hey, what was that series called again? The one I used to watch all the time?” or they stumble upon the wiki after mistyping some other word or phrase. They see the word again: Mianite. “Oh my gosh, Mianite! Yes! That’s it!” And they take the dive back in. The run through the wiki and find all the old fan art of the early seasons and rewatch highlight reels and animations and it’s this thing, this comfort, returning back to them. Then they find isles. And some will say, “This is perfect! This is just what I need right now! I can’t believe this really specific part of my old life is back again!” and they will binge the series from one perspective or another and scoure the internet for our community to be apart of it once again. And others will sit and smile nostalgically at the screen, and the very very long Mianitian Isles wiki synopsis page before them. They are stressed and they are tired and there just isn’t time in their days anymore to watch two-hour streams to keep up with the story. But they bookmark the twitch vod or the YouTube video or the wiki page anyway, just in case. Just as a reminder— it’s nice to know that it’s here. For them, or for another person who could use the special thing that was and is Mianite at a time like this.
