Managed to catch most of the Dec 9 techno stream, and I’d like to present to concept of Phil is Actually the Blood God.
Think of it like a heat source and sink situation. When separated, power sink Phil has to put all of his energy into surviving and maintaining himself so he tends not to be overly violent in the first couple of weeks on the server, just trying to get resources and not die.
Power source/battery Techno up til that point pre-retirement has constantly been burning energy, gaining resources, farming mobs, getting to buckwild XP levels etc and acts as the constant source of chaos and violence for anarchy’s sake. He’s like a cat in a super low humidity apartment mildly grouchy at how static electricity is constantly gathering on his fur and shocking everything he touches.
But now that Techno’s been ‘retired’, esp from the turtle stream, Phil is now powered by the vassal of the blood god.
When they encounter the iron golems, techno goes out of his way to heal those guardians of villages and do trades and collect pets, while Hardcore Mode Phil ransacks villages, mercilessly kills iron golems for the paltry iron bars they give, then slaughtering the villagers.
Techno seems to mellow out with Phil by his side, but Phil’s proximity to Techno makes him more brutal.
@mcyt-quotes made a post about how canonically Phil gets bloodthirstier around Techno, and she’s right. Phil’s goofed on how Techno “Makes him smell blood in the water” re SMPEarth before.
From a meta point of view, of course you can afford to be more reckless/attack offensive with a pvp god trailing behind you like a lost duckling at the HINT of a baby zombie noise.
From an in character POV, Phil is charging up on his chaos, a lightning rod of a server deity. He’s receiving his tributes at the altar of violence, ready to bestow back the berserker power as Godly Favor should Techno be required once again rise as his avatar of anarchy.
PLEASE PLEASE P L E A S E I NEED A SINISTER BOY OH MY GODSDSGHDGWFGI
(mlm) Types of boys as horror movies:
House of 1000 Corpses: Loud, hyperactive, probably smells like a Summer themed candle, his kisses are hungry and new every time, wears shorts in the Winter, hasn’t read a book in like three years, probably needs to take a show
Scream: Every other sentence is a joke, plays way too many horror video games, always wants to cuddle, his kisses are gentle and loving, wears too many chains, dyed hair
Insidious: Would happily kill a man over monopoly, takes every opportunity he can to use his tarot deck, collects crystals and will for sure gift other people them, he never kisses without a smile on his face, probably collects stuffed animals
Halloween: Collects trinkets of every kind, has like 12 blankets on his bed, his hands are always cold, every inch of his walls are covered with art, gives himself stick n pokes, his kisses are hesitant, but warm, probably needs to clean his room
The Boy: Plays like 5 instruments, will listen to Reagan Youth as loud as he possibly can at 4 am, loves haunted houses, kisses like he’ll never be able to again, will binge one show four times in a row, writes punk songs about love
Sinister: in love with dark academia, owns like 200 books he’s never read, steals kisses in between library shelves, will write poems instead of confessing to who he likes, wants someone to sit in his lap while he reads to them
leggy... you know how when pidge is talking about how beautiful the castleship is and lance goes ‘it’s not a sunset, pidge,’ implying that a sunset is the most beautiful thing he can think of in that moment, and then there’s the sunset scene with him and keith is season 8... also the sunset scene on olkarion before the s2 finale where lance lowkey flirts w/ teases keith... Yeah

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.
Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.
But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”
