This Is So Real

Your worth as a person does not depend on you as a musician.

It can often be difficult to separate things you love from who you are as a person. I, for one, think of myself first and foremost as a musician.

But this isn’t true.

I’m a human being. A human being who happens to be passionate about music. But I am a person first.

This being said, it’s time to start separating your sense of self worth from how you perceive yourself as a musician.

Practice for 4 hours or 4 minutes in a day doesn’t determine what kind of person you are.

Having mastered Hot Cross Buns, or mastering concertos is not a measure of your character.

Your worth is about how much good you bring into the world and can be judged not by your abilities but by the joy your actions bring you.

In short, doing what makes you happy uplifts your self worth.

doc's mailbox discussion from tango's stream today

theres something so funny to me when hermits are talking about redstone and theyre like "and then theres an etho hopper clock here-"

like. of course they use etho hopper clocks, itd be weirder if they actively avoided using it, considering its like. a redstone thingy that is very useful and still works even after all this time, and from what i understand it was like. a pretty big deal in terms of useful things you could do with redstone back when he first made it because it opened up ways to do even more things with redstone

and like for the most part theyve probably been referring to that particular thing as an etho hopper clock for longer than theyve even known etho personally, considering the etho hopper clock predates his joining hermitcraft by at least 1-2 years, and several of the other hermits joining hermitcraft by even more. so of course they still call it that

on a related note, most of them likely had at least heard of etho before meeting him, even if they didnt personally watch him (tho i know some did) since he was an old school minecraft youtuber. like his original season 1 of "lets play minecraft" started when minecraft was so new it hadnt been officially released yet. literally back in minecraft alpha. he was a minecraft youtuber OG

so with those two points taken into consideration it completely makes sense that "etho hopper clock" is something ingrained into the terminology of anyone that does stuff with redstone somewhat regularly. theres no reason it wouldnt be

but when you put it into contrast with like. their actual interactions with etho. it kind of cracks me up???

its like. in my head the vibes are this: imagine building something and being like "okay guys, for this machine we need to use an archimedes screw, which is named of course after its inventor archimedes, a man so genius that to this day he is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors and mathematicians to ever walk this earth" and then like thirty minutes later you go to a restaurant and you see archimedes, of classic antiquity fame, trying to eat a sandwich but the ingredients keep falling out in increasingly comedic manners. so you of course call him pathetic to his face, and then ask if he wants to try out your new totally-not-a-scam product that you carry on you at all times for opportunities like these. and for some reason he doesnt just say yes, but buys two

this tweet has given me more motivation to stretch than any "it's good for you" post ever will

I love when she’s completely cracked at something and then denies the idea that she is so much, love her

Skizz’s latest stream opened with him saying that Pearl plays with anyone on the server, calling it “dating everyone” on the server and then him joining the many hermits trying to convince Pearl that she’s the best at everything while she denies it. One day she will admit that she’s the best at everything. One day. Also her adding a new high score with Ren lol.

more textpost cos i love them

Hermitcraft to me is just like the old friends senior villain sanctuary. All of them are retired from large-scale crime, but old habits die hard and very few of them have a solid grasp of ethics. They commit so many crimes but it’s enrichment for them so it’s fine

I cant do this rn

Someone on TikTok found exactly what grian is talking about here

Skizz: Mumbo and Grian had two polar opposite reactions: Grian just started yelling at me, he was like "SKIZZ, YOU HAVE ONE-- YOU HAVE LESS THAN ONE BRAINCELL, SKIZZ!", he's freaking out, and Mumbo's like "Yeah, but it's plus-one awesome!" (everyone's laughing) Grian: Mumbo is a kind of guy, like-- you fail a backflip off of a skateboard, and he just sticks his thumbs and goes "SICK!!!!!". I would be going "Mumbo, you're okay??? Is your head okay??? Look at me, bro!!! What's going on???", and he's like "IT WAS WICKEDDDDDDD" (laughing again) Impulse: This is true. This is so Mumbo.
