I urgently recommend people to listen to his music http://michaelmillercrusade.com, an evocative mash of confessional song crafting with unhurried dreamscapes drawn from subtle frequencies felt in "the White Album." His career has intersected with Beck, The Gilmore Girls TV show, Sam Phillips, The 77s, The Wallflowers, and other lumineers. I've been blessed to have shared the stage with him a few times, and he guested on my GRATEFUL album and some porta-studio projects. Here’s a track of mine he played guitar on: https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/the-brakemans-dead-remastered-2020 Meanwhile, HB MM and God bless your crusade.

last night i had a dream that i was playing minecraft and i noticed i had 77 blocks of cobblestone in one slot instead of it being capped at 64 and it was so jarring to me that it literally booted me out of the dream. like sure you can fly now and your childhood home is a pharmacy but 77 pieces of cobblestone? unthinkable. wake the fuck up.

you know I swear the hermitcraft fandom doesn’t do enough with area 77 these days. it’s an entire arc where doc and scar worked together to run what is basically canonically the scp foundation. one of the scps is keralis. another one of them is technically grian if you count time travel and villager grian or whatever. also this is when the whole alien that scar kept as a pet and is implied to have at least eaten etho, if not the rest of the nho, showed up. also there’s a whole convex divorce arc. also, like, okay, listen, aesthetically, “scar and doc run a secret military organization designed to secure, contain, and study unexplained and dangerous phenomena” FUCKS as a premise okay like listen why aren’t we doing more with this anymore we need to be doing more with this—

I'm a model you know what I mean
(previous - bonus)
---
Taka's scruples make it difficult for him to refuse an earnest request from a senpai.
and makes it very easy for said senpai to mess with him
Just a little, you know, as a treat.
Class 77's inherent chaotic nature mixed with Taka's rigid deference to hierarchy coupled with his need for corrective discipline would clash horribly
In any case, someone is definitely going to be having detention for a long time.
(Spoiler, it's Kokichi)
