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

if i've got any followers in nebraska, hope yall are safe!

#not looking great here in TX either #i was watching a storm chaser follow the tornado in nebraska on livestream and they abandoned the chase to do search and rescue instead

i genuinely love the mcc subreddit bc they live in such a different world that the bad takes have a whole new flavor

anyway they're saying xisuma is probably gonna be one of the stronger hermits because he's been in twitch rivals before so obviously that means he must be competent

#LMAO #not xisuma #(/affectionate)

^ chapter one

^ chapter eleven

Have I mentioned yet that I specifically planned for an entire year to repeat this one line in Chapter One in Chapter Eleven? Like, I knew it would be too subtle of a callback for anyone to really notice because it's kind of a generic line but I was like yeah let's do that let's be tragic

#i cant remember if i already told yall this or not but i came across the line in eleven again during the edit for my mom #hc_firewatch_au #....you can tell I planned it over a year because I managed to not correctly remember i originally said 'g-man' instead of 'g' #im keeping that for prosperity

post canceled im too tired now because i had to create a resume for my mother

i need to relearn fire finder math this evening, i have let the inconsistencies in early firewatch au go on Too Long

#well rather i had to Fix it. she wrote the stuff already #she hasnt needed a resume for like. idk. over 25 years probably lol #so she had no idea how to make one and asked me to help

#prev the treeline in Yellowstone NP is between 9000 ft - 10000 ft so his is probably closer to ~10k elevation #grian's is probably somewhere in the 8k range. my mistake was i put his elevation at 10.820 ft which is...way too high for trees #i was mixed up because i am used to treeline being higher but yellowstone is further north #(treeline being the elevation where it is too consistently cold for trees to grow) #5911 ft is high but not that high for the rockies. ~5000 ft might be the base elevation in the valleys and flat areas #there's a reason Denver is the mile high city! #there are several 13ers in shoshone national forest (including wyoming's highest peak gannet peak) #in fact there are 46 mountains above 12k feet in the absaroka range (which is what theyre in!) #so i think scar's lookout should easily be 10k at minumum but for grian's if i want to keep continuity it should be below 9k ft #because i describe his lookout surrounded by trees (as it is in the game)

#i put the fire lookout at the wrong elevation in my calculations and didn't have as good an idea how tall it was #i accidentally put it above treeline despite describing trees around the tower #(scar's lookout is likely higher elevation--there are only squatty trees next to the Thorofare lookout and it is sitting on the ground) #i have also since seen a fire lookout approximately grian's style and height in real life with my own two eyes 💥 #(i counted the steps and put it in a note on my phone LMAO) #anyway these issues with elevation and height means that the fire finder calculations need to be adjusted since both are variables in it

the latest game changer episode is incredible

I’m fascinated by the implications of the bottom layer of Skizz’s pyramid depriving people of their physiological needs. Like how’s he going to deprive them of needs higher up on the pyramid? Break down their friendships? Destroy their self-esteem? Excited to see whatever psychological torture Skizz can come up with.

#clearly i need to check back in on skizz #<- got too busy to watch most things #hermitcraft #i was so intrigued by his base

[quaranmine]

convex...? i find it quite simple really

I could definitely see them having some sort of battle of wits lmao Scar is like "wait this guy isn't falling for it"

I was going to leave some tags about how the movie theater was unlikely because it was a summer movie, and thus would require Cub to find himself in the middle of nowhere Wyoming during the summer (whereas I like to think him visiting Scar was his first trip to the area.) But then I googled it and realized that Raiders of the Lost Ark stayed in theaters all the way until March 1982, the next year! So that option is also very possible lol

curious to know, how did Firewatch!Scar come to meet Cub? Did he meet him on one of his door-to-door salespitch or just casually met him at a park like "yeah, you're my friend now"

This is a great question! Honestly...I don't know? It isn't a piece I've filled in yet, since sometimes I don't necessarily worry about things that happened off-screen unless they need to be referenced in-story.

Timeline wise, they probably met early into Scar's career as a lookout. He has known Cub for years by the time he meets Grian in 1989. In my Alpenglow notes, the Cub-related scene is slated for 1983, and by then he already knows Cub. Maybe they met during some off-season travel, perhaps shortly after Scar's first season? I do kind of like that idea, because Scar meeting a new friend at that period of his life would be something he needed.

Honestly--probably was some coincidental meet-cute type of thing where they ran into each other somehow and just started talking :)

#i underestimated how long they used to keep successful movies in theaters lol #i feel like all the movies now are in theaters for maybe 2 months if you're lucky haha #hc_firewatch_au

Hello! I stumbled upon your color palette challenge today and I got to say I absolutely love it!!! It’s so good!!! Like i love all the tiny details and the textures! And your style! If you’re still taking requests I think it would be cool to see 53 and Scar (maybe as HotGuy). Also if you don’t mind me asking, what art program do you use??

Have a good day/night!!

AH THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!! This was actually so fun because I got to lean into the Screentones for the comic book effect :))

And I use Photoshop! I’ve used it so long, I’m just too stubborn to learn a different program. Monitor wise, I use a Huion that I plug into my laptop. Thanks for asking!! :))

#this is perfect for him #scar #art #hermitcraft
