off on a misadventure! (killing your sheep)
I'm still thinking about how a few days ago when Bad was having that out of character talk with Tubbo and others about The Realm and the issues he and others were having where Bad just admitted that he was only matching the energy he thought was being put out there and he would be willing to pull back if people asked.
I think a lot of people forget that Badboyhalo (the creator) leans into playing chaotic villain character that causes problems but he is genuinely a very sweet dude who wants things to be fair. He plays the antagonist because he knows someone has to for things to be interesting. That is how he helps contribute to the story on servers. He gives people someone to go against.
On every server he plays on he falls into the role of a cartoonishly evil character with messed up morals because that's fun and interesting! Bad cares about things being interesting and he will always choose the more interesting choice! His character is as smart or stupid as the most interesting choice requires! If he thinks it's interesting he will walk straight into a trap knowingly! He understands rp is a story told between people and he always does his best to create a scenario that gives other people a chance to do interesting things.
I think a lot of people don't see past the character Bad plays but especially the last few weeks you have been able to see it in the way how Bad freaks out and starts panicking every time he accidentally kills someone. The character he plays is evil but Bad the creator is not and he did not mean to do that! Eventually when he recollects himself he'll play it off in character as being intentional but Bad even admitted on that stream that he played into it because it was interesting for the story! He did not actually mean to kill people but it already happened so it may as well be made interesting and impactful to the plot!
I just have so much respect for him because playing the antagonist is a hard and often thankless job but he throws himself into the role constantly. We have him to thank for pretty much any lore on The Realm right now because he's so passionate about keeping a story fun and exciting. Out of character he's always willing to communicate so I hope that conversation opens up more communication so people coordinate things better.
My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is an engineering student. She is brilliant and speaks with a clarity of analysis and thoughtfulness (even in a second language, even while living in crisis), that is profoundly impressive and humbling to me. She holds hope that Palestine will be free, and when it is, she will use her knowledge and skill to help rebuild.
Her father lost his job due to the war, and she does not have the money for university fees. The situation for her and other Palestinians is getting more difficult as the duration of the crossing closure increases, and the genocidal famine is leading to sickness and starvation.
Mahrah explained, "Food is missing from the markets. If the food is found, it is usually unhealthy because it contains preservatives and we eat it for a year and 8 months, and this causes diseases. But there are no other options to do without it. My nephews are at risk for my father's and mother's diseases and need healthy food because they are at an advanced age. It's like a famine, but there is no media to cover what's happening. They killed all the journalists."
Donations have been slowing, and she is afraid for her family's health. If you can spare some money to help them, please do.
Mahrah has been so incredibly kind and loving to me in our conversations, even checking in how I've been while recovering from surgery. She has extended so much compassion towards me, and I want to encourage others to extend that same level of compassion towards her.
imagine if mumbo jumbo successfully transfers his mind into a chicken but he forgets to tell anyone that he's becoming a chicken and joel walks by and he's like oh a chicken and kills him
Hey, don't cry. Domesticated ghasts in minecraft, okay?
(in the background, you can faintly here the lyrics "I got the fattest ass in Queens, bitch, and we really getting money") Martyn: Look at that. (he realizes what song came on, and presses pause to laugh) What did I just hear in that song? Hold on. I'm here like doing…nerdy Minecraft modpack stuff, and in the background all I hear is, "I got the fattest ass, I make loads of money," (he turns the volume on the song up, and presses play) (I got the fattest ass in Queens, bitch) Martyn: (echoing) In Queens, bitch (and we really getting money) Martyn: Mhm. (big) That's right! (he pauses the music) You wanna see the fattest ass in Misadventures? Look at this. Look at this, ready, ready, hold on, uh, nope, oh no, am I not in the right setting? Hold on, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. I got it. I got it. Ready for this? Let's go like this. I want-I want ass cam, that's what I want, how do-how do I do this. Hold on, wait wait wait, up to there…yes, yes, this is what we-this is what the people want, this is what the people want. Oh yeah, there we go. You want this on-on the entire walk back to--(starts laughing) Talk yo' shit girl. (he begins playing the music again) (I got the fattest ass in Queens, bitch) Martyn: Yeah, that's right. (and we really getting money) Martyn: I got ass cam. (Bitch, let's go) Sun God: Martyn, what are you doing. (Martyn begins laughing in surprise while the music plays in the background) Martyn: You--no! Don't look at me! Don't look at me! Run! Sun God's after us! (he laughs harder) Run! You saw nothing! I'm going back to Queens! (the song continues playing as he laughs) Oh my god. Sun God saw ass ca-right? He saw ass cam. Goddammit.
