If the weather permits today...
(Also its Halloween!! WHOOP!)
Something is brewing....
I had to scroll through HUNDREDS of screenshots for these.
So worth it though.
Oooffff I'll try to keep this short - as I AM one to ramble.
17776 has a special place in my heart. I love the aspects it focuses on and the different plots we have going on as you read. So many wonder "why football?" Well, Jon Bois is a sports writer, so of course he would write an express his thoughts through something he is familiar with. Sure, you could see it as a funny space football web comic, but there is SO MUCH more to be explored within it.
Now, if you told me if my generation would be the last on this earth, everyone is immortal, and the sun would never explode, I would essentially freak out. To combat that, having something that provides a distraction for an eternity - in this case, football- would be sufficient. You forget that feeling of dread and worry because you're occupied.
You could do the most insane shit you wanted because you have nothing to lose. Setting up the most extreme games with outrageous rules is just part of the fun.
I love how people keep the world pretty much the same. No advancements, nothing like that. Maybe it's a fear of change? But anyways- it's kinda like a comfort, knowing that things stay familiar forever, you don't have to change a thing.
People can achieve whatever goals they want. Go back to school, get a thousand college degrees, learn all the languages, knit the longest scarf, anything- because there is always time. You don't have any limitations.
One concept I'd love to see more of are the nanos. They just seem interesting to me, but they are kinda just briefed over. Same with animals, too. I know Jon touched upon this in a QnA, but I'd love to know more.
To wrap this up, there's just no words to truly explain how invested I am in this series, and I'm glad you asked this question!!
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?
i feel like juice would be interested in this one
itโs honestly one of my favorite articles from jon
testing the limits of madden and creating this guy: BEEFTANK.
I'm so not normal about nick and manny
evil version of 17776 called 33333 and the probes start their sentences with a : instead of a . and all they ever say is :3 (this may be my most cursed post yet)
anyways i am once again pushing my hubble agenda by including them in here too! :) i had to reverse engineer my own '76-styled hubble pic (which was admittedly quick but still fun) so i hope y'all enjoy that too!
Errr! First art post!??
Did some sketches in art (sorry if the lighting is bad!)
I used: paint pens and prisma markers and pencils
If itโs messy - thatโs just how I doodle :DD
Also I take requests! Just hit up my inbox/comments >:)
I'm not sure why I haven't shared this BUT
I have found an artist a few months ago that said 17776 was an inspiration for his music. I especially see it in his Rookie album.
Don't know if his music is for everyone, but I love the unique style! Feel free to check him out
Fall break is coming up, which will get me loads of time to post on this blog - BUT that does mean I'll have to work double time this week for classes that still demand work over the break >:1
I'll get back to schedule soon - until then, enjoy some photos I took:
"Babe, I don't wanna do a hundred years without you." "I know. I could do it. I'd wait a hundred years. Would you wait for me?"
