[video description/transcript:
Foolish is watching the loading screen of logging onto the QSMP server in anticipation as the climax of "I'm Just Ken" from the Barbie movie plays loudly in the background.
Lyrics: Ken / My name's Ken (and so am I) / Put that manly hand in mine / So hey world, check me out, yeah I'm just Ken
Foolish successfully logs onto the server, spawning on top of the wall facing the legs of his titan build. In his facecam, he jumps out of his chair in celebration to move behind it and pump his fists in the air.
Foolish: Yes! I'm Kenough! I'm Kenough! Yes! We did it! Woo!
Lyrics: Baby, I'm just Ken!

like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.
okay so the thing is. the thing that escalates this from "annoying thing to do" to "hysterical prank 10/10 what the fuck" is the fact they terraformed it. because like. okay. if they wanted solely to annoy doc, putting a regular layer of some material with a decent explosion resistance over the top of it would do it. doing a flat plane of dirt would do it. you'd see that and go "the mad lads they covered the perimeter up". but they terraformed it. they put in the effort of not only doing hills, but doing minecraft plains biome style hills. they're rolling. they put TREES on it. they made it look like, at first glance, the terrain could have come in that way. it looks good. it took way more effort to make than it will ever, ever take to clean it up. it makes it so that your first instinct on seeing it isn't "oh my god someone put a cap on the perimeter" it's "OH MY GOD, WHERE DID THE PERIMETER GO, WHAT THE FUCK". it's brilliant. it's a work of art. doc is gonna tweet so much about it. 10/10, excellent hermitcraft prankage.
im SURE that it wont be that hard to clean up but god. god. GOD. GOD. DOC. GET HOME. GET HOME PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. HOLY SHIT.
during the Impulse Phasmaphobia stream a day or two ago, he mentioned how "oh yeah we all logged in during a Hermitcraft meeting to do a group project" my god . my god you sure fucking did
oh! I have to tell you guys a great story one of my professors told me. So he has a friend who is involved in these Shakespeare outreach programs where they try to bring Shakespeare and live theatre to poor and underprivileged groups and teach them about English literature and performing arts and such. On one of their tours they stopped at a young offenders institute for women and they put on a performance of Romeo and Juliet for a group of 16-17 year old girls. It was all going really well and the girls were enjoying and laughing through the first half - because really, the first half is pretty much a comedy - but as the play went on, things started to get quiet. Real quiet. Then it got up to the suicide scene and mutterings broke out and all the girls were nudging each other and looking distressed, and as this teacher observed them, he realised - they didn’t know how the play ended. These girls had never been exposed to the story of Romeo and Juliet before, something which he thought was impossible given how ubiquitous it is in our culture. I mean, the prologue even gives the ending away, but of course it doesn’t specify exactly how the whole “take their life” thing goes down, so these poor girls had no idea what to expect and were sitting there clinging to hope that Romeo would maybe sit down for a damn minute instead of murdering Paris and chugging poison - but BAM he died and they all cried out - and then Juliet WOKE UP and they SCREAMED and by the end of the play they were so upset that a brawl nearly broke out, and that’s the story of how Shakespeare nearly started a riot at a juvenile detention centre
Apparently something similar happened during a production of Much Ado at Rikers Island because a bunch of inmates wanted to beat the shit out of Claudio, which is more than fair tbh
honestly Shakespeare would be so pleased to know his plays were nearly starting brawls centuries into the future
I played Claudio once and I fully support this
“When we took Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure” into a maximum security woman’s prison on the West Side…there’s a scene there where a young woman is told by a very powerful official that “If you sleep with me, I will pardon your brother. And if you don’t sleep with me, I’ll execute him.” And he leaves the stage. And this character, Isabel, turned out to the audience and said: “To whom should I complain?” And a woman in the audience shouted: “The Police!” And then she looked right at that woman and said: “If I did relate this, who would believe me?” And the woman answered back, “No one, girl.” And it was astonishing because not only was it an amazing sense of connection between the audience and the actress, but you also realized that this was a kind of an historical lesson in theater reception. That’s what must have happened at The Globe. These soliloquies were not simply monologues that people spoke, they were call and response to the audience. And you realized that vibrancy, that that sense of connectedness is not only what makes theater great in prisons, it’s what makes theater great, period.”
Oskar Eustis
People who don’t do or create shit are always the most critical because they have no frame of reference. They severely underestimate how much energy it takes, how much fear and other psychic burdens need to be overcome, the sheer amount of relentless persistence, faith and self-belief it takes to put something, no matter how feeble and shitty, out in to the world.
It seems so easy just looking. “I could do that”. “I could’ve made that”. Well then do it. Look at the most feeble and easy looking creative work and then replicate it in your own way. And with no irony or hiding or joking- in all sincerity put your name on it - and show it to others. People you know in real life. As a representation of yourself. See how it feels. You’ll have a new appreciation and softness towards creative friends and strangers.
In an effort to avoid supporting megacorporations, I shall now be posing questions directly to tumblr that I would otherwise have googled.
