Inspired from Legundo's newest 100 day video, which also inspired another au 'Gundo to add to my list of the billion of gundos that I have. Anyways, pretty aquatic creature <3

and you know also maybe put this specific video on loop or post it on a community page if you have one of those or something. make it blow up like it deserves to. i'm biased, there's NPCs in this video i helped write dialogue for, but god this is such a cool style he's trying out right now and i am here for it
also everyone should be watching AvidMC right now, especially if you're a fan of creative-mode building and mapmaking. beyond the slightly clickbaity thumbnails is an incredibly keen sense of storytelling and some fantastic buildings, bosses and collaborations -- the Shrouded Isles have a really cool story to tell, and Avid's way of conveying that story is both intelligent and easy to hop in on.
he's really got a talent for making up a place and then getting you to care about it within a tight timespan (usually around 25 to 40 minutes), and his editing's also top-notch and very engaging without being overly flashy. great sense of humor, too!

on a more uplifting note, though -- if you miss that Sweet Spot from around 30 to 90 minutes of chill, interesting, well-paced series editing, i've gotta recommend Sir James Ender for hitting that exact sweet spot.
he's of a slightly older modded MCYT variety, like something you'd get from around the 2018-2020 eras -- laid-back, not prone to over-editing or over-acting, minimally character-focused and more focused on creating builds that themselves tell a story. a great "podcast" MCYTer, sure, but more than that i find the pacing of his videos is excellently tight to the point where i can comfortably watch the whole way through on a lunch break or something.
he also literally only has 48 subscribers right now, which... look, he may only have two videos out right now, but considering how good his stuff is already turning out, the fact that he's not only sub-1k but under fifty subscribers is frankly just criminal.
so yeah -- go check him out. subscribe, leave him comments, i'd love to see more people get on board :]

we're also really starting to get tired of The Good Stuff in MCYT all hitting the 2.5+ hour mark. it's extremely frustrating; it's a balk point for new people and means a significant time investment for people interested enough to go for it.
i genuinely think 40-90 minutes is around the sweet spot, with 2 hours being a comfortable maximum. any longer than that and the pacing gets weird; i don't look at a 4 hour long video and go "oh boy, four minecraft hours!" i look at it and go "this probably should've been a miniseries"
and i get that the algorithm favors long videos more, but i also think playing to the algorithm like this makes the general MCYT scene very viewer-hostile, and requires a lot more trust in whoever's making the content that it'll actually be good, which is not something i'm going to have if i randomly come across it.
i think we're really missing that sweet spot right now -- there's a lot of videos coming out that are under 30 or even 20 minutes long where i just sit there and go "that's it?" as well, but well-edited stuff in the ideal range is just not there (or at least isn't getting pushed to me) and it bums me out a lot. i miss when someone would make a video that was an hour and fifteen minutes long and would go "sorry for the long video today guys, we did a lot of work!" yanno? not that i like people apologizing for anything about their videos, but, i miss when an hour and a half was considered a movie-length video.
uh. yeah.

Wels hums as he walks through the shopping district. He doesn't need much, but with the recent release of Overlord, he wants to hear if any of the establishments are playing it. He doesn't expect it somewhere like the Permit Office--Grian's spent too much time and money getting a song that was as perfectly annoying to be put on hold to as possible--and if it is playing in the log shop, he will laugh. But music tends to spread around Hermitcraft fast, and sure, this isn't about anything specific, but who's gonna miss a good opportunity to dunk on Doc?
He hears the backing beats from a nearby shop and hums along with them, walking down the path--
--then turns a corner and leaps back.
"You," Wels hisses.
Hello. Awfully rude of you not to include me, you know, says the specter.
"No, there's absolutely no reason for you to be here. None at all!" Wels says, throwing his hands up. "The last time I saw you was--gosh, I don't even know. Season Seven?"
Yes, yes, and the only time you saw me, you aren't lying to yourself at all, the specter says agreeably. Come on. We both know I was haunting you for what little of Season Eight you bothered to be around for.
"If you were on Eight then you super shouldn't be here," Welsknight says. He shakes his head and looks up at the shop playing his song. Joel's? Huh. Wouldn't have thought he'd have a reason to make fun of Doc. Welsknight removes his shaking hand from his sword hilt again and starts walking.
On account of you leaving everyone there to die, yes, we're both aware, the specter says.
"Oh, screw you, you wouldn't have done any different, get new material," Wels says. "Also, you aren't real? You're like, all of my insecurities or whatever. You don't even have a real body right now, no one's made you one."
The specter shrugs. I mean, if I'm the worst parts of yourself, really, you're the one who needs better material. Abandoning all your friends to die and then abandoning them altogether--it's a wonder they let you stick around!
Wels rolls his eyes and forces his hand to stay out of his inventory. Wouldn't do to give away that still even gets him. He peaks at another shop. They're playing the song too, but it's ever-so-slightly out of sync, which is kind of terrible. As he does, Cleo waves at him. Their eyes sort of stutter right past Helsknight, which definitively tells him exactly how much body the specter even has to possess right now.
"I'm actually having a great time with my friends this season, so like, the whole 'abandonment' song and dance isn't going to work this time. Started the season with them and everything; hard to even go for 'they'll forget me at the first opportunity' or whatever."
The thing is, the more Wels says it, the more its true. None of the insecurities and pain points that the specter is echoing back at him are what he was actually thinking about. He's been like... fine? Sure, he's definitely still got repressed negative traits, but nothing like "Xisuma's evil twin brother playing around with his head" or "the moon crashing and killing everyone" or "too depressed and burnt out to get out of bed" or "sort of considering abandoning everyone because that's like, his thing" these days. None of the things that should bring the specter that had haunted him since Beef's cloning machine back to him without a body. But Wels is careful about clones outside of something like Vault Hunters, where they're explicitly under his control. He, like, doesn't even armor stand much. So that can't be this either; Helsknight clearly doesn't have a body to be messing with Wels yet!
...Helsknight doesn't even have a body or an actual insecurity to be poking at Wels with yet.
He stops. He puts his hands in his pockets, and turns around to face Helsknight. He is no longer shaking at all.
"Dude, why are you even here?" Wels asks.
I told you, it was rude to leave me out, Helsknight says.
"What," Wels says.
The final bars of Overlord play over the speakers. Welsknight hums and nods before it suddenly clicks.
"What," Wels says again.
Honestly, you're not normally this much of a moron. It was rude to leave me out. Rapping is also my thing.
"Dude," Wels says.
I could totally destroy Docm77 any day. I would obliterate the fool you call a "friend" in ways you cannot comprehend. You invoke a sacrificial goat? I know ways he'd never recover, gods he'd never be able to retrieve himself from. It would be laughable. And you left me out.
Wels stares at the demon from his nightmares.
"You're mad at me because you didn't get to be in my diss track," Wels says.
You let me be in the last one, Helsknight says.
"Dude," Wels says. "Dude, that's pathetic."
Helsknight sniffs. I'm your worst qualities. What does that say about you.
"I didn't even write this for this season," Wels says.
That makes it worse, Helsknight says.
"I don't even know where to start? For one--no, I still don't even know where to start," Wels says. "This is like, the lamest reason you could possibly have to come haunt me. Go away, I'm basking in my like, top 3 charting hit on the Hermitcraft server."
Top three? Pathetic. There are only three songs. You'd be the top song if you'd simply included my power, Helsknight says.
"I can't beat the streaming minutes Grian puts on that hold--look, uh, dude. You're, uh, a very scary representation of my fears and worst qualities and all. Appreciate that. Next time I need to do a diss track, I don't know, maybe I'll invite you? First you've got to stop appearing solely to make my life worse, though. Bring me a cookie or something. I don't know, whatever demons do."
I'm not a demon, I'm a Shadow. We're different, Helsknight says. ...I'll think about it.
When Wels turns the next corner, Helsknight has vanished again. Wels stops in the middle of the street, looks around, confirms the specter has vanished, and then bursts out laughing.
"What the Hels," he says, somehow feeling lighter and more bemused than before. That's a new feeling with his doppleganger. Then, he goes to visit Big Wood. While Doc definitely isn't playing the song of his own accord, Wels figures that Beef just might, and given the day he's having, that would feel like a kind of irony Wels isn't sure how to describe. Besides, he wants to see if Doc will notice if Wels sets the song on loop or something. What can he say--the man's reactions to being taunted are spectacular, and Wels loves seeing them. Call it a bad quality of his or something.

I found Legundo's 100 days multiverse stuff and now I've fallen down a rabbit hole and I've decided that as I slowly try and edit the footage I have of my own minecraft stuff I aspire to have the organizational capacity of the leggy man, the ominous-ness of VikingPilot and the sheer crack energy of Sneve.
