Fannish thoughts of the day

[isi]

Just the various Mindcrack related thoughts on my mind today.

-We learn in Beef's video that apparently everyone in his past is named Joe. Interesting tidbit to keep in mind?

-Pakratt takes a stab at the "McGamer" gag by naming his food court after him, golden M and all. And yet on the sign he uses the proper capitalization.

-I neglected to notice yesterday amid the prank drama that Millbee had posted an application to join the B Team, hours before the prank videos went live. I'm not sure how to interpret this considering the accidental sheep slaying and Millbee's response tweets. Anyone else have new thoughts on the matter?

-I made my first fanart, as per kissingpigmen's suggestion.

-As further evidence that this place has already corrupted my mind beyond repair, I keep having Kurt/Zisteau thoughts for no particular reason, and I'm not even convinced I should be worried anymore. Also, do you guys do those funny portmanteau ship names? I've been calling this one Kursteau in my head.

You should've seen the "nude calendar" someone did during Kurt's live stream. It was both glorious and really disturbing. It's fun to like, ship people, I guess, but it's more of their personas more than the actual person. KurtJMac vs Kurt the person kind of thing.

And the portmanteau I use for Kurt/Z? Team Hellhounds. What a great name.

Also I am so in love with that fan art I should make it my phone's wallpaper.

I totally saw that nude calendar it was pretty amazing. I think his over all reaction to it was ಠ_ಠ

Which fan art are you referring to?

...wasn't it Millbee who did that? Or just Millbee who suggested it and the chat delivered?

There definitely is a boundary between persona vs. person, but it's really crazy fuzzy in this fandom. Many of the guys are so willing to talk about their real lives and real experiences while in the context of an LP. Jason may be the one who experienced all those crazy stories, but we hear about them while he's "playing" Guude on the Mindcrack server; Jason may only be joking, but he (or is it Guude?) keeps flirting with BdoubleO (or is it John?) every time they play maps together. Where does "Jason" end and "Guude" begin?

...this is the entire reason my fanfic-eternally-in-progress exists. >.>

I like the name Team Hellhounds. I almost wish it was canon over Single Malt Scotch, but as I said I'll take the canon when it exists. :P

Milbee suggested and the chat delivered. Twice. It was crazy. I think they were talking about new milestones and Millbee suggested they'd all pose for an all-nude calendar, but it'd have like, Minecraft blocks covering their groins. While the actual execution was kind of horrifying, the concept is oh so amazing.

Yeah, the line is really thin, and fuzzy, but it exists. But for people like Zisteau, he plays up his zombie pigman persona all the time. Etho does it too. You end up knowing more about the character than you do the person.

And ugh you have no idea how badly i wanted them to be Team Hellhounds. Team Single Malt Scotch is just so long, sob.

Oh god, I saw that calendar. I think that was tipping the weirdness scale even for r/mindcrack. And yet, so hilarious.

Yeah, I guess you could make the distinction between personas, but I don't think most of them really try to play up their "character." They're just themselves, which I think a lot of people like.
