fellas I got such a perfectly comedically timed advert when watching Impulse’s episode 19 so I had to try recreating it with a clip because it literally had me laughing so hard
this dynamic is everything. Scar maliciously lies to the world's most adorable child for fun and profit. world's most adorable child then locks them in the Nether until Scar admits to all of his crimes, including the ones from MCC, you know the ones.
[transcript:
Tubbo: you know what, Scar?
Scar: yeah?
Tubbo: we're gonna sit here until we work this out.
Scar: all right, all right, all right, have a chair.
Tubbo: look what i've done.
Scar: wha—(gasps) OH NO.
Tubbo: we're gonna sit here until we work this out, you and me.
Scar: the door's closed :(
Tubbo: i've closed the door.
Scar: okay, all right—okay, all right, all right—i—i will fully admit it. i will fully admit my treachery right now.
Tubbo: so—
Scar: they didn't add fireflies to Minecraft.
Tubbo: wait, they didn't?
Scar: no.
Tubbo: i did— (speechless) wait, really?
Scar: no, they didn't. they made a heartfelt message and told us that fireflies kill frogs and we're not getting them.
Tubbo: WHAT?!
Scar: (snorts)
Tubbo: i don't—
Scar: that's my only—
Tubbo: i don't know if i can—
Scar: that's my only betrayal, that is my only betrayal. i've laid—i've laid my cards on the table, that was my only betrayal.
(second clip)
Scar: on—on the—
Tubbo: that's your only betray—so what about the dripstone thing? i wanted to talk about the dripstone.
Scar: okay, we can talk about—
Tubbo: uhhh—yeah, wha—what happened with the dripstone thing? so—you—you're telling me now that could have killed me?
Scar: i—it wouldn't have killed you, but it would have been a funny...it would have been funny.
i'm captivated by the way he speaks. (they're called machicolations, for reference.)
TRANSCRIPT:
Bdubs: now, i don't have the lava yet, but: we're gonna sacrifice some good looks for some very important safety measures. those—now, in a real castle they call those, uh, magi—machinellations! magica—magicalinalations! maginalations! magicallations! (giggles) they're murder holes? i think?
