today's pre-lunch modly braindump

• Mod, why haven't you worked on either of your fanfics nor done your Yuletide nomination yet? It's October and registration isn't even open for that thing you've been freaking out about. Stop slacking. Speaking of, placeblocks nominated Guude, Bdubs, Kurt, and Beef. I'm planning to nom MC, Nebs, Zisteau, and Pause in light of that; feel free to fill in extra blanks accordingly if you are participating.
  
• If you were to write an fannish/ship-friendly (though not necessarily ship-emphasizing) introduction to Mindcrack, what would you say? What videos would you link? How would you explain the appeal of these guys, their video content, and their chemistry?
  
• Kurt says "Damnit, @zisteau, now look at what you made me purchase!" while talking fancy coffee. Genny attempts (succeeds, perhaps?) at upstaging them both. And the mod still prefers old-school cheapsake moka pots, because her partner is Cuban and they buy kitchen-y things from thrift stores.
  
• Speaking of Zisteau on twitter, I may or may not have teared up when I found out that creepers griefed the Lens. SO AWFUL.
  
• Supposed the trial is coming out today. OOOOOOOH. Watch it come out while I'm commuting, though. :(
  
• The spontaneous fight after the Wither is like...the most ridiculously terratorial thing I've seen in a while in a good way. It's like all of the frustration from UHC/Death Games bundled into chaos and it's kind of amazing. Also, something about proud Nebris asking for advice from Pause to kill Etho gives me some very, very strange feels.

When I look to see whose perspective of a video I watch first, I usually look at the lengths and pick the longest, except in UHC where I always start with Zisteau or Beef or Nebs, in that order, depending on who is playing. But yeah, that led me to watch Kurt first, and then I watched Etho after checking Reddit. Man, you must have been confused!
