juice catsona but now it's just a fursona
aaah! Today's the day! We love ya Pioneer 9!1!2!2!
I FOUND MORE OF THE RAINBOW THINGS!??
also don't mind the mistakes - I can't really erase ittttt :,(
I also wished Ed had more time (ironic, given the worldbuilding). He's a weird guy but still compassionate despite trying to act like he isn't. I'm currently rereading it, so I'll have more cohesive ideas in the future u_u
Thanks for responding, I appreciate it^^
I'm working on something related to 17776/20020. Just curious, do any of you have any thoughts on the series like themes, meanings, anything that stuck w you specifically? or what you didn't like about it?
This damn football bs won't leave my mind
Got soooo many 17776 things that i'm thinking about. Finally drew Louise's wife, Anne. She's a QB from Asheville, NC. They met while playing for Washington and have been married for 3600+ years (as of 20020).
P.S.: I'm working on a website for all my 17776 lore and art stuff. Gonna release it as soon as i'm done!
Lore details about some games below the cut cause it's kinda beefy
About the Arcade League:
It's a league i created that focuses on National Park Games as well as fast-paced exciting events. Very nature centered. In the lore, it was thought up by Louise after watching her wife compete in the 17850 Smoky Bowl (see my other post for the flyer). More info about this will be on the website!
On the new games!
Mammoth Cave NP Game idea suggested by @cloudyishdays! I kinda went crazy about this concept and so at the moment i'm writing a rule book for the game. In its current iteration it's a two-team (Bass vs Cardinals) possession game (sort of like Halo's oddball). I'm still sorting out a couple of rules. The full edition will be on the website i'm working on.
Both Louise and Anne compete for the Bass in the MCG!
Joshua Tree NP game idea suggested by @satell1ght! I was so excited when i saw the suggestion in the tags since one of my favorite musical artists got illegally partially cremated there (gram parsons!!!!!!!!). Did some research and the date of the start of the Joshua Tree Game is August 10, 19360! over 17,000 years to the day of JTNP's creation on Aug 10th, 1936.
On my next idea:
I'm thinking about a football game on Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. The game would initially be on the Pontchartrain Causeway bridge but when the ball inevitably goes out of bounds it would commence a second game on the actual lake (which will involve speedboats)..
Sooo that's my yap for today.... more coming
oh Theseus we’re really in it now.
[ID: a short video of OP and @accidentalautomaton’s characters, Ambrose Celestine and Jordie Lovelock. It’s in the style of the “just the two of us” cats meme, in speech bubbles exchanging between them a few lyrics from Ruler of Everything by Tally Hall. It goes like this:
Ambrose: You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything
Jordie: A
Ambrose: Ruler of everything
Jordie: A
Ambrose: I’m the ruler of everything
Ambrose: In the end
End ID.]
I posted this on a discord a while back, but I decided I should post a version here too. That being said, I present to you:
I HAVE GAZED INTO THE ABYSS AND THE ABYSS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO WATCH A GAME
or
The culmination of a feverish night of theory crafting after a sudden epiphany like a vision from an angry god, which may or may not be pertinent to the plot of “20021, a Football Story” by Jon Bois, whenever that comes out
See, okay, the whole deal with this thing is; If either Nick and Manny get caught and fail to bring the footballs home, or succeed and bring the footballs home, it will become a big story that it was only two guys who stole the footballs from Georgia Tech. This tells Michigan State that the locomotive lateral was performed by two guys, and thus, it would have been almost impossible for them to split the balls up, meaning the 9 balls that MI ST went up by at the end of the locomotive lateral would have been all the balls that GTECH had (given that it dropped in rank to the 0 ball teams at the same time as MI ST increased by 9). If someone from MI ST took a screenshot of their scoreboard before and after the lateral they would be able to tell that by the time the lateral was completed:
1: MI ST has 24 balls
2: GA SO has at most 14 balls because they were a place below MI ST before the lateral when Michigan had 15 balls
3: SC ST has at most 8 balls because they were a place below GTECH, which (based on the number of balls MI ST increased by and GTECH’s ranking afterward) had 9 balls before the lateral
4: CIN, HOW, and TEX likely have 3 balls each, and if they’re not sure MI ST can collaborate with one of them. Additionally, if you know that a certain team has a certain number of balls at any point in the game, then if the ranking group that team is in never drops below 2 teams, then you will always know everyone in that ranking group will have that same amount of balls even if the original team drops out of that ranking group, due to the sheer unlikelihood of every team in a ranking group gaining or losing exactly the same amount of balls at the same time. Remember, it can be days between scoreboard changes. There is a good chance that every team already knows the tied for 5th ranking group have 3 balls each.
5. If you know CIN, HOW, and TEX each have 3, then MO through to UTEP must have 2 balls each
6. There are 28 teams with exactly one ball each. The 1 ball teams extend into the remaining teams section, where you normally would not be able to see rankings and wouldn’t be able to tell which ones are 1 ball teams and which ones are goose egg (0 ball) teams. However: all teams in the same rank are organized alphabetically, and you can see that the alphabetization resets between Washington State University and Air Force Academy. Therefore a MI ST player would be able to know there are 28 one ball teams.
So: 24+14+8+3*3+2*5+1*28=93
111-93=18 balls hidden off the field, one more than the number UAB is hiding in Stannard Rock Lighthouse
Will Michigan State find 18 missing balls alarming? I don’t know. Depends on the kind of story Jon Bois wants to write. I want to believe they will, starting a frenzy that uncovers UAB’s hidden dynasty as the most powerful team in the entire college bowl, which somehow forces UAB to resurrect their steamroller play One Last Time.
Maybe that’ll give Val something to talk about, other than loathsome mosquitoes lurking in limestone quarry ponds, which may or may not have contributed to the construction of the Empire State Building.
I can only say one thing for certain:
Stay in school, kids. It makes you better at cross-country football.
got reminded of them recently (welcome back pioneer 9 & JUICE)
I honestly envy people that didn't find Red Valley that good. Like I can't imagine not being obsessed with this podcast. I have a life to live, I have hobbies, I have other interests, but I just can't get this masterpiece out of my head. Honestly concerning. Has to be one of my greatest hyperfixations of all time.
