okay so:

the year is 2021. the month is june. the new season of hermitcraft, season 8, has just started, and everything is great! the hermits are all messing around, having fun, building insane things within the first week of the server being active, and generally having a good time. everyone's collected themselves into little factions, pranking each other, and it's all the fun, lighthearted, mostly-vanilla content hermitcraft is known for.

and then the split between minecraft versions 1.18 and 1.19 is announced. the delay of new terrain, and especially of new mobs like the warden, considerably disrupt several of the hermits' plans. but it's fine, they'll figure something out, they're professionals, and it mostly goes unnoticed.

about two weeks later, on november 9th, grian turns to mumbo jumbo in one of his episodes, and asks the famous question that would seal hermitcraft season 8's fate:

"mumbo, is the moon... big?"

suddenly, the fans panic. they search back through videos and streams, and realize that the moon had been abnormally large and stuck in a full-moon phase since october 30th. the Moon Big event has begun.

this is where the roleplay really starts. once the moon's size has been brought up, the hermits start a weird combination of scrambling to figure out why the moon's growing, and how to stop it- but also of ignoring it, hoping it won't be a problem, hoping someone else will deal with it. the moon keeps getting bigger, more hermits start realizing it's going on, and a creeping sense of dread starts to grow. but it's fine. it's fine, right? they do little plotlines like this all the time. they'll figure something out, the moon will go back to normal, and we'll laugh about it when this is all over. it's fine.

and then, blocks start flying away. just floating up out of the ground, and falling right back down! like for a moment, a square meter chunk of dirt has decided it's a ballerina and leaped out of the ground! but it's fine, right? the blocks are coming back. no lasting harm is done. they're going to fix it all... right?

the moon gets bigger. it's growing every day- local hermit weirdguy joe hills measures it every stream. the blocks start flying higher. gravity starts getting... weird, with players getting the slow falling effect at random, and being lifted off of the earth themselves. the players form cults and rituals and whatnot to try and appease the moon, convince it to leave them alone, making plans to escape. nothing works. things keep getting worse, and the moon keeps getting bigger. but it'll be fine. these storylines never leave lasting harm, or at least they never have before. they'll be fine.

and then the blocks stop coming back, just floating into the sky forever. the players have the slow falling effect more than they don't now. the moon is now so big it's visible even during the day, and fills the entire sky at night. they start planning their escapes in earnest, and say their goodbyes. some hermits jump into a void hole in the overworld (it was the centerpiece of their village). some flee to the End, some to the nether, some just fly with elytras and hope they can get far enough away in time. one brave hermit, tango, flies himself to the moon in a futile attempt to blow the whole thing up before it can crash.

but in the end, the moon crashes into the server, and everything they'd built was destroyed. and the whole time, there'd been nothing any of them could've done. season eight was over, a full six months before anyone had expected it to end, and season nine wouldn't start until about three months later. and im still not okay about it.

(here's a cool animatic of the moon's crash! honestly i dont think you need too much hermitcraft knowledge to get the gist)

(also the moon crash happened on the day before my birthday lmao.)

….

holy shit

#ok ok let me see if i have the timeline correctly:#1) s8 begins in June and so does the new update announcement #2) months go by with no issue (that they’re aware of)#3) it’s in November when they realize the moon has been growing #4) does the moon crash in January???#but gawddam #that is one apocalypse story if I’ve heard of one #also fitting bc i think it was 2021 where we were getting a LOT of asteroid/moon fall movies #idk what was in the air (possibly the pandemic that led to unforced isolation & ppl coped with apocalypse stories)#and somehow that bled through to a Minecraft server???? somehow?????#wild #this also reminds me of an apocalypse movie i watched with a friend called ‘3 Días’#very good movie btw #highly recommend (it is a Spanish only film which i don’t think will be an issue bc subtitles)#anyway #asks #smp 101 with gumy #hermitcraft edition!

What do you reckon the timeline is for Sing 2? like,how many days do you think it takes place over?

Oh man this is a PERFECT question for someone who likes analysing tiny details like me!! Thank you!! Of course, I mainly used the Klaus/Johnny scenes the gauge the time passed…

The film starts with a performance at the theatre, and we see Buster trying to sleep later that night. That same night he rallies everyone together to get a bus to Redshore. The bus scene only transitions once from night to day, so we can assume it took them a good 6+ hours to get into Redshore. They arrive in Redshore the following morning, so that’s 1 day already just for travel.

Once in Redshore they immediately get involved with Jimmy Crystal. He gives them a deadline of three weeks to complete the show, but here’s where the timeline gets iffy. I’m pretty sure everything goes to shit before those three weeks are up. We then cut to the next morning because Buster opens with “Good morning” and claims Steve stayed up all night making the pop-up book plan for the show.

So that’s 2 days so far.

Later on we see Norman and the piglets arrive and it’s night time, and when we see Miss Crawly driving to Clay’s it’s daylight. So 3 days.

It’s night when Miss Crawly returns, but then in the immediate scene we have Johnny in Klaus’ class. We can see daylight through the windows and Johnny says he “was practicing all morning”, so it’s daytime. 4 days in.

Johnny spends all day in Klaus’ class, because when we see his panic attack, it’s night time. It then cuts to the next morning when he’s repaired his skateboard and meets Nooshy. 5 days.

He’s with Nooshy all day, and it’s evening/night time when he has a private dance practice with her. The following scenes involving Meena and Clay and Buster are during the day, so that’s 6 days now.

Once Buster leaves Clay, the rest of the film takes place all the way up to the same night, when Out of This World is performed. Then the time gets really inconsistent. It’s night time when they are performing, because we see Jimmy rushing to the theatre in his limo during the night. It seems to still be night when he’s arrested too. But it’s morning as the group leaves Redshore? So were they putting this show on at like 4am?? How did they fill a theatre of random animals wandering around at 4am lmao. That part doesn’t really make sense. Unless there was a huge time gap between Jimmy getting arrested and the group getting on the bus. But it takes us up to 7 days. Then we see them at the Majestic, but it’s probably a time skip as I doubt it’s that same day. We have no way of knowing how many days it takes for the Majestic show to happen.

So the film takes place over at least 7 days. It could be more if they did time skips, but that’s just based on what we see. So in a week, Buster manages to:

- Get his entire group to travel to another city

- Score a show

- Plan the entire show from scratch

- Locate Clay Calloway, who has apparently been impossible to find until then according to Ash

- I guess mad kudos to the stage hands who manage to make all these props and costumes in less than a week. Klaus had to choreograph the whole show in a few days; no wonder he’s so angry lol

- There’s a bit of a plot hole with how Marcus and gang got there so quick. We see him take Johnny’s phone call from his garage, which is in Calatonia. But we also see it takes a long ass time to get from Calatonia to Redshore, so I’m not sure how the gorillas got there in like… an hour max? I guess Marcus could speed the whole way there but it still seems a bit of a stretch. Honestly after watching this again and paying attention to the times, it feels like Illumination were making sure to be consistent right up until the final show, and then they just went with whatever.

TL;DR - 7 days from start of the film to leaving Redshore. Impossible to tell when the final show at the Majestic takes place.

Thank for the nice ask, good anon 🥹💖

#and I got to watch the film again in the name of research #*oggling Klaus on screen* hmmm yes research #a nice mini dive like this is a good way to relax #bird chatter #sing #sing 2 #sing movie #sing 2021 #sing headcanons #klaus kickenklober #sing klaus #sing johnny #sing buster #Buster moon #clay calloway #sing nooshy #jimmy crystal

if you'd like to see a fun little 👽👽 movie this Halloween, then boy do I have a link for you!!! :D

Riker Lynch's short film Aliens On Halloween is available to watch at the link above! It's all in a handy dandy playlist on tiktok.

oh, and if you're a Starkid fan it may interest you to know that Aliens On Halloween features the stunning talents of both Curt Mega and Kim Whalen, and they are both as fun as ever. 😘

The gist of the story is that two aliens are on a mission to retrieve human DNA, but whoa, it's Halloween, so they wind up going to a party. Also one of them is more chill & carefree (and maybe a little too into human pop culture) while the other one is Very Serious™ —one of the best character dynamics, tbh. (I didn't know I needed to see Curt as an awkward alien, but god, I really did. River my beloved <3)

I'd say it was a goofy little story with some nice wholesome moments, and just really enjoyable to watch. I loved it and I am definitely going to watch it again soon when I am less tired, lol.

now, if you wanna see it but don't use tiktok have no fear, because neither do I and I was able to watch it just fine! aaaaafter one failed attempt on my phone, lol. the videos Did Not Want To Play, but when I tried it on my laptop there were no issues, so! 😎👍🏻

#we will ignore the fact that as i am making this post it is no longer halloween. mkay? good.#now watch the silly alien movie #watch it now #you will thank me #(also i want to draw these silly aliens but i am TOO SLEEPY rn 😭)#jack jabbers #aliens on halloween #riker lynch #curt mega #kim whalen #caroline wagner #aliens on halloween 2021 #short film

in the last like 7 years there's been two reality tv guys i really liked i found them very entertaining i thought they were funny etc thought this for years. 2/2 have been accused of rape now i need to stop treating these people like they're characters they're being very genuine when they're awful

#one in 2021 one just a few days ago #i mean there's actually 3 that i liked and the third one was actually like bffs with one of them and very friendly with the other one so💀#and it's like i KNOW they're probably not good people right it's like i know i would hate these men irl because i didn't really like them #but i liked their personas #but their personas are not actually personas especially not the misogyny aspect of it like that is just real life😭#and it's never even really a surprise like yeah of course he would do that. so like that's kind of on me like yeah my bad for liking them #because they were unlikeable.....#like them being unlikeable was the appeal should have seen that coming #i'm not an avid reality tv watcher. the guy who was just accused of raping a woman i followed for years though because he was so awful he #was funny😕 i watched his snapchat stories every day and everything like it happened in australia in 2018 and i remember when he was there #i remember what he was filming there and everything (because i watched it like when it aired a few months later💀)#like i LIKED him #i know i just said i didn't like them but like i did ykwim...like i liked making fun of him and i liked hating him but i thought he was #endearing😕#and i haven't followed that guy in a while because he stopped posting on snapchat since you know...who even posts on snapchat anymore. but #yeah no. i don't even know why i'm sharing this #i hope you won't think less of me for being a reality tv person. and i'm not i haven't watched anything since like...early 2019?#i watched reality tv from like 2012 to 2015. and then from 2017 to 2019. 2015-2017 isn't a big gap but it feels like it is it was very #different you kinda had to be there #and like i say: brf slt #tw rape #rape tw

the thing about loki 2021 is that its really fuckin good but not in any of the ways that the loki comics are really fuckin good. and the loki comics are better. go read the loki comics.

#except vote loki u can pretend that one doesnt exist #and also pretend that god who fell to earth went on as long as it should have (i.e. more than five FUCKING issues)#lily dot tee ex tee #marvel #loki #thor #<- oh also the thor comics are just better than the films that one's much simpler #the only way i can think of loki 2021 being similar to stuff like aoa or jim is ideas about free will but it approaches that whole thing #from a completely different angle. its not a story about stories its a story about choics #which is also fascinating and i wanna watch it again at some point but i have no TIME #but also yeah the best thing that loki 2021 did was convince me to finally read loki aoa (which sparked my thor comics phase which i have #still not left)#also sylki was good actually. fuck you <3 #the only bad things loki 2021 did was not make sylvie CANON trans and use kid loki and original loki as costumes #without any respect for the characters themselves #which makes sense because the mcu would not be able to speedrun the entire 2007-2015 character arc in one series #which proves my point that yall should read agent of asgard. now.#616 #mcu

I've been listening to this on a loop for a day and a half

#i know it's a dramatic scene but “very smart maria! very smart!” always gets me like #it's so funny #i watched WSS 2021 while on holiday in rome with my aunt #without having seen the original film or really knowing anything about the story besides the bare details #i didn't know the ending. I WAS SHOOK #i should rewatch it #west side story #west side story 2021

The whiplash of being emotional and thoughtful about Belle 2021 and then also thinking about Chikami Shinjiro and his fucking CROCS.

#I remember seeing them last time I watched the movie too.#noticed them first when he finished his kayak practice but it’s at a distance and I’m like nah no way they’re prob just slippers #and then at the bus station THEYRE REALLY REAL. THEY GAVE MY BOY CROCS. THIS DORK #God and his fucking bit of going omg *scratches neck* *shy chuckle* *single head of sweat* d-does that mean you like me?#and the way the movie lingers on that scene for an unreasonable length of time. the rest of the movie has a certain pace to it and then #we just hang out here and watch him stew in the awkwardness like. where I gonna run king? scenes not over. get back here.#it’s so deliberate and I think my final verdict is that it’s hilarious 10/10 good film making #belle 2021 #Belle #belle movie #belle anime
