I'm Sorry For The Ramble - Tumblr Posts
So, I've been rewatching Grian's Hermitcraft 6 and...
There's a pattern. (Ramble incoming)
In his episode 93, he created a game called Demise. A few years later, and Third Life shows up, along with the rest of the Life Series.
Not only that, but his tendency to start good-natured wars is a big thing, too. For example:
The prank war
The build battle in Hermitville
The whole hippies vs area 77 thing
And MORE
The pattern: Grian likes to cause mischief and make death games.
Ya know, Dream’s character kinda reminds me of the Watchers from a Minecraft series called “Minecraft Evolution SMP”. I won’t explain it here but go check out @/give-grian-rights I bet a lot of you already follow them but still, if you’re not please do, they are really cool and can explain Evolutions and the Watches in more detail and better than I ever could.
But to make a long story short, the Watchers are these beings that watch over the players or “evolutionist” and help them move from one version of Minecraft to the next. However the Watchers would also punish the evolutionist if they did something that went against them (like when Grian went against their instructions and took more than he should have) or upset them ( InTheLittleWood replacing Taurtis as the mayor without an actually election). This is where I draw the parallel between them and Dream: both will punish people if they don't listen to their instructions.
However that's where the similarities end. Because while both parties punished people when they didn’t listen to their instructions, when it comes to the Watchers their punishments were always fitting of the 'crime' and the evolutionist were even given a chance to make up for it. Grian had obsidian placed over all his chests for taking more than he should have when told he should only take stuff from one chest, and then was given the chance to make up for it by burning something, that at the time he desperately wanted. InTheLittleWood made himself mayor after Taurtis disappeared, but the watchers didn't like the idea of him, in their words “wearing a false crown” on his head and in response blew up the mayor’s office as it was a more serious ‘crime’. When it comes to Dream and his punishments however, he doesn’t seem to care what the crime was, he just doles out punishments fitting of the crime or not.
That’s all I really have to say, it was just something I noticed and I bet someone else noticed it long before me but I still wanted to write about it. I still don’t know how to end on of these rambles soooo... bye?
(Really though go check out @/give-grian-rights they can give a better explanation of Evo and the Watchers. I won’t @ them directly cause I don’t want to bother them, but they make some really interesting posts and are pretty cool)
