its joe hils. its joe hills. its everyones favorite joe hills from area 77-2! the observant among you will notice this is a close echo (though lacking a lot of the background and much of the INCREDIBLE detail) of @betweenlands 's post here ! this is on purpose because i have been looking at that one a lot recently and just got mega inspired. plus i dont draw season6 joe often enough
hey guys i finally drew 77-2 fanart after lIKE TWO MONTHS
[ID: fanart of the 77-2 AU by @betweenlands of Kakujo looming angrily with his eyes glowing. he has a speech bubble saying “You’re not going to give me any more suggestions, Keralis.” off in a corner is Keralis looking like the shitty crying emoji. end ID]
bonus:
[ID: a drawing of Keralis looking like the shitty crying emoji. its coloured and transparent. end ID]
The tags about 77-2 impulse definitely Not losing 3lsmp got me thinking about a full blown 77-2 in datd 3lsmp scenario now- like assuming everyone is still equipped with the powers/skills they have, do you have any thoughts on what would happen?
I for one think that Kj would attempt to either Bust Out ala that one red sun crossover fic, snap people out of it, or just cause massive amounts of chaos/start trying to profit from the great amounts of Stuff resulting from it
Though I think also that it kinda depends on if the gang decided to join out of free will initially or if they just got plopped there all of a sudden because could you imagine if you had just A Squad of angry angry people not being pleased about a common enemy? Nice knowing you 3lsmp world o7 (though side note I think Grian would just absolutely lose it someone give this poor man a break) (also side side note Keralis, Bdubs, and the Narrators would also probably do extraordinarily well huh)
man, okay, so. it's really interesting trying to figure out how the 77-2 cast would do in 3lsmp, and tbh it also depends on if we go with the Classic 3lsmp cast or "the entire cast is just 77-2 characters." either way i'm assuming they all want to be here bc if not they Would stage a Grand Escape
sidenote fluffy and i were briefly discussing "what happens if 3lsmp but a kakujo's there" a few nights ago and it turns out the answer is "it all goes down roughly the same as long as nobody cheats too hard. also martyn's voices do Not like kakujo (breakerbreakerbreakerbreaker) and kj eerily doesn't change At All on his red life." i have no idea if we'll ever do anything more with it but martyn totally sees kj do dark magic at some point and is Unsettled
anyway i'm about to start rambling so. readmore. mild 77-2 spoilers and hey if you haven't read 77-2 now's a great time to do so! it's one of our fave aus we've (co)written. so here's the masterpost
right, so, if we just put the classic 3lsmp cast in this situation but give them their corresponding powersets from 77-2, we're going to see. a lot of things change. powers-wise:
impulse is nearly impossible to kill, bc he instinctively ticks back to before he'd receive a fatal blow
bdubs. vines. crastle's a lot more defensible all of a sudden
while grian has branches access, i think as long as nobody gets turbokilled he probably won't use the branches -- he doesn't have that Instinctive Usage drilled into him as hard as impulse does. he's gonna be more of a bastard though
cleo, oh man cleo. cleo can't not use her power, and if anyone does Important Things on the server she'll know. she won't know what they are but she'll Know.
etho and tango are truly just fucking vibing
ren is also just vibing but with a little bit of anxiety from ["PURPLEHEART" FILE MISSING]
scar is [DATA EXPUNGED] and that leads to some interesting consequences
day 1, cleo stops grian from blowing up scar with a creeper, bc the resulting ripple would be so large that she absolutely does not want to know what it'd be like. martyn and ren still hit it off, but with the added wrinkle that ren is a little more initially untrusting of martyn. impulse still agrees to Day One Crew, but in a very serious tone, and also warns Bdubs about phantoms. cleo and bdubs still have some lingering tensions over the 77-2 Incidents. everyone not from hermitcraft has no idea what's going on.
you can see how this would spiral.

MEANWHILE, over in the "it's the entire cast of 77-2 in 3rd life" universe, things are on fire! keralis and scar are our Red Desert Duo this time -- they both wanted to be the conman figure and decided to team up. and by "decided" i mean keralis sweet-talked scar into it and scar's a little grumpy but figures it gives him a good shot at winning. grian's still technically in debt to scar, but he's more of an unpaid intern and the chances of him eventually defecting to someone else's side are pretty damn high.
doc and bdubs immediately set up NHO Part 2 and recruit iskall (vive la revolucion) to their side. they try to convince false to join, but she's decided to stick with cleo rather than do shenanigans. the Gals are immediately declared an enemy of the New Hermit Order and cleo is delighted by this.
impulse and kakujo both independently decide they want absolutely nothing to do with this nonsense and leave; impulse runs into ed while doing villager stuff and kakujo runs into joe while trying to build a house in a mountain. they both make secret duo alliances. unbeknownst to ed and joe, impulse and kakujo are a Day One Alliance, a fact which will delight joe and utterly bewilder ed.
i don't know who wins this one. it'd be a sheer disaster though.
