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 :,(
Happy birthday Pioneer Nine!!! I donโt have enough Time to do a full drawing like I wanted to but here is a little craft I made featuring them ^^
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 โ20021, a Football Storyโ 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 GTECHโs ranking afterward) had 9 balls before the lateral
4: CIN, HOW, and TEX likely have 3 balls each, and if theyโre 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 wouldnโt 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 donโt know. Depends on the kind of story Jon Bois wants to write. I want to believe they will, starting a frenzy that uncovers UABโs 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 thatโll 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.
f you humanifies your space probes
voyager 1 (left) and voyager 2 (right)!! no they are not gay they are brothers :D
After a couple of teasers and work, he's finished!
I haven't crafted anything major in a while, so this was definitely some great practice!!
I will admit, I bumped into quite a few people during Halloween (thanks to the solar panels :,) )
But! I received a ton of compliments - and even got confused for being the Europa Clipper :0
Here's some close-ups on the patches aswell:
Oh yeah @z0n1x here it is!!
Stay tuned - I've got some things planned
Have a great day/night :)
If the weather permits today...
(Also its Halloween!! WHOOP!)
Something is brewing....
hey y'all-
HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT???!!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE????
ohhh...
OKOK I GET IT
...well there you have it! after about two and a half weeks i finally have little human designs for the 17776 probes! i love them sm but i do not have the sheer willpower others have to draw their probe forms with all the machinery for the time being...soooooo, have some humanizations instead! they all wear those fuckass headbands because they have machinery on them and i imagine that it can make them switch from probe object heads to regular person heads at any given moment, especially if they need to do any probe stuff. my design skills aren't the best but i really wanted to do this for the fun of it :] anyways i hope y'all like these because now i need to go meet up with the inconspicuous voice that beckons me and whispers my name before it catches me first! byebye! :D
misc stuff under cut
just some differently cropped images please look away
WAIT
what the fuck is THAT??? the hell kind of bug is that!?...ok y'all, i don't really know what *that's* supposed to be, but i'll try to figure it out in a few...uh, goodbye! :)
.i. i managed to make them chibi,,,
id buy chibi plushes of them honest to god
oouahhhh i found those little rainbow scratchy things
a nine doodle from yesterday
clipper and juice are siblings in my head :]
this is how i cope with finding out that both clipper and juice have scheduled de-orbiting dates, clipper's in 2034 and juice's in 2035
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.
oh HELL YEAH.
hello 17776 nation how do we feel about genderfluid/all pronouns hubble (stemmed from a looooong story, but one person's misremembered moment is that same person's new character headcanon!!)
quick visuals if y'all need a little extra to get on board with this:
tl;dr/tumblr-accurate version:
also please, PLEASE excuse any grammatical errors it's 1am and i had to immediately put this idea into text form or else i'd forget about it (sleep can wait away, keep calm and dribbleยฒ on) ok byebye
Something is brewing....
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?
being a 17776 fan feels like chewing drywall. guys. guys this story ostensibly about american football changed me. no guys you should read it - well when I say read I mean experience it really - no no it's online it's free - no it won't break your computer this is normal it's okay i promise it's not even really about football. well no actually it's about satellites. yeah the Jupiter Explorer is in it and they're a little shit. yeah no the gender binary doesn't exist in 17776. yes i meant 17776 not 1776. it's not even really about satellites. it is though. please i am begging you read this it changed me.
Heโs French
17776: domestic au. ten is an amazon echo, juice is a mop robot (braava jet) and nine is a roomba.
He was joshing I swear!
GEEZ I JUST REALIZED HOW BAD THE CAM QUALITY IS DON'T MIND. Oops!
Still working on designs, I've been leaning towards v-kei for 10
(the Pattern by The Narcissist Cookbook) im going insane
YANKEE CANDLES!??? OH these are so accurate
17776 probes but i assigned them yankee candle scents (based off color first and theme second mostly)
french tweet
prolly
do you think NASAโs clipper likes football?
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 >:)
cannot stop thinking about how the real life JUICE weighs 6 tons and is described as being the size of a small apartment in Paris and the real life Pioneer 9 is only 40 pounds and is only 3 feet tall
I had to scroll through HUNDREDS of screenshots for these.
So worth it though.
