I'll be honest, watching the mindcrack guys takes up enough of my free time that I don't really subscribe to a bunch of other channels. I subscribe to Lorgon111, but other than that I dont watch much minecraft-y stuff. I do follow a bunch of Slenderman related channels though XD

Ahh, and I've been afk for like threeish days and I feel like I have so much stuff to catch up on. *currently watching random Kurt video* On the plus side I've doodled a lot of fanart-like stuff in the free time, on the negative side, I... don't like any of it enough to post anywhere...sigh

[theropod]

Other than Mindcrackers? Uh...I watch some people who make music videos with clips from MLP and Transformers Prime, I watch Nerimon, the guy who does YuGiOh! Abridged, Simons Cat, and Vechs. Thats about it really.

Things that may be relevant to our interests:

- Nebris has pranked Etho. (setup - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7p4Ub3urg&feature=g-u-u ) (reaction - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=t_a2T8kMj2U#t=1682s )

- Vechs new invention is the 'Zistykins Spawner' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=RZwwgRrJaAY

[theropod]

I saw that spawner just before bed and I couldn't help but giggle. In the reddit comments someone pointed out that Vechs would prefer the 'ship name' to be 'Vechsteau' or 'Vexsteau'. I laughed and immediately wondered if there was a reason other than just because it sounded better XD

[guiltyshirts]

How about 'Zechs'? XD

Also, my Kurt and Z muses are going to have to have a talk about Vechs at some point. Kurt *did* think there was or could have been something between them, and now the whole Zistykins thing has just... well, I think he's a bit jealous. And guilty about feeling jealous. *sigh*

[theropod]

Maybe Vechs drops by for a visit with a special map for Zisteau and Kurt feels all left out D:

[guiltyshirts]

Awww...

In my version, Vechs was kind of like Zisteau's no strings attached summer fling, and they've just become less involved over time as they went on to do different things. The Zistykin spawners could possibly be Vechs making a move to get more involved again, but now that Z's involved with Kurt, he'd want to convince Kurt he'll stay committed. The differences between the relationships is a fascinating point to me. Zisteau may secretly like the wilder, more exciting lifestyle that Vechs would give him, but I could see him preferring a quiet, comfortable relationship with Kurt, so he'll give it up if he knows Vechs' presence would hurt Kurt, or he'll otherwise make sure it's nothing that would constitute cheating, no matter what the mapmaker has to say.

[guiltyshirts]

I can see Zisteau liking the quiet life if it's with Kurt. Although Kurt would feel terribly guilty if Zisteau gave up a friendship just to make him more comfortable.

I'm not sure yet if I want to go with Z and Vechs having a fling that naturally ended and they stayed friends, or if they were always just friends - sort of 'if anything was going to happen it already would have'.

[isi]

Aw, either way this seems to result in Kurt feeling bad about something.

[guiltyshirts]

I know, poor guy. :/

[rills]

The way I see Z and Vechs' relationship is that they built up to a casual fling in Kaizo, with Vechs occasionally stopping in to Z's base or personally handing over the wool in some of the safer spaces, which would give them a chance to interact without ever allowing something more steady. I see this continuing through Legendary, and culminating in Kill the Runner, when Z decides to take a break from challenge maps - and Vechs, as a result. But since they were never serious and they still get along as well as have many mutual friends, they never stopped being friends. I don't think either of them would have considered it a big deal.

What I think is interesting is that Vechs is a *huge* flirt, and you know he was making personal visits to Cleo and Joe and Pause and etc while they took on his challenges. But Kurt might not have known that, and since Zisteau announced in August that he intends to play Inferno Mines, and Vechs has started referencing Z again in every public appearance he makes, Kurt might get a little jealous and worried about his new relationship...

Just my thoughts, take them or leave them as you wish. =P

[guiltyshirts]

On man, Vechs and Pause together - can you imagine all the flirting and dancing around each other and teasing that would go on? XD

My Kurt muse *is* a little bit jealous, and feeling silly for it because he has no reason not to trust Zisteau. I think he finds the whole 'Zistykins' thing a bit weird.

All thoughts gladly heard! :p

[rills]

Hahaha yeah, I think there is a reason Pause and Vechs get along so well!

To be fair, I find the Zistykins thing a bit weird! I've actually always seen Vechs as having a puppydog crush on Zisteau. He is the biggest Zisteau fanboy there is! And to be honest, I think Z was getting a little tired of it, probably contributing to his long hiatus from CtM maps.

[mindcrack_love]

Here's my proof that the Vechs' affection for Zisteau is at least a *little* reciprocated.

[isi]

Haha, I can't believe I forgot about that! Man, that was a fun comment train.

[rills]

Oh, yeah, I agree it's reciprocated, but Vechs is in way deeper than Z, haha.

I love that link, by the way. Awesome quote! I always wanted to see those two pair up for a longer series, because I think they have great chemistry in game.

[rills]

Well, seems like Z has embraced Vechs' latest nickname - look at the title to his latest video!

I may have to write some Z/Vechs CtM fic, now...

[isi]

I noticed that too. I also like how he mentions Vechs in the episode for having an uncanny Zisteau impersonation. Though, MC's impersonation was pretty darn funny.

[mindcrack_love]

I vote "Vetchykins". XD

[guiltyshirts]

That made me giggle entirely too hard. XD

[isi]

Yes, I love the sound of Vechsteau. I'd totally ship it. Even if Single Malt is a thing. I'd find a way.

I've always been amused by how much of a Zisteau fanboy Vechs is. When I watched Z's Kaizo Caverns for the first time, I noticed that Vechs left comments on a lot of the videos. It was very entertaining.

[theropod]

I noticed that too, it was kind of adorable. I'm always a fan of shipping everything and I totally ship it too XD

[mindcrack_love]

Oh man, that Nebris prank is so excellent. I love that he helps light things up, too. I continue to understand all the Nebris/Etho feels people keep having. FEELS.

[guiltyshirts]

Me too. I like to believe that Nebris didn't leave a sign because he knew he didn't need to - Etho would know it was him. Which he did. :p

[isi]

Oh, and speaking of other channels we watch, I've been watching Van Ryder's (aka JustVan) Manhunt series with the Mindcrack Mod, and the newest episode has a pretty funny OOG moment I thought you guys might appreciate.

Edit to add: And speaking of Nebris/Etho, they have a little exchange at the beginning of Nebris' newest video that results in Nebris suddenly becoming super paranoid that Etho was going to pop out at any moment to murder him. And periodically throughout the rest of the episode he'd just stop and say something like, "Where's Etho? I know he's here." XD

[mindcrack_love]

Take my breath away, OOG! Amazing. <3 Also when both Zisteau and Bdubs showed up, my reaction was "oh Kurt, now how will you decide?" because I am a silly fruit like that.

[guiltyshirts]

Watched that just now. Love at first sight for OOG! XD

Why do I think Kurt would find it very strange to be spoilt for choice?
