Finally watching dv s2e10 after a very long tangent while watching episode 9 and -points at screen- hey it’s the same skeleton grinder design Pix built in survival guide s3. It really is his old faithful

I’ve decided for enrichment to officially incorporate it into my belief system that Decidedly Vanilla takes place in the future of empires and that the ghost of empires s2 pixlriffs possesses the body of decidedly vanilla s2 pixlriffs and just builds ruins then gives him the body back. Because dvs2!pix will be like “i want to build a ruined path here” and then he blacks out, comes back, and is like “strange. i don’t remember building this but it’s exactly how i wanted it. Anyway—” (Im pretty sure it means he built it on a livestream and thus doesn’t have proper footage of him working on it for the video but shhhhhhh an archeologist possessed him in my heart)

I thoroughly enjoy the rabbit holes i keep running down to get historical context to things Pix is talking about in his decidedly vanilla episodes. So Pix hit 100 subscribers between episodes 8 and 9 of season 2. During episode 9 he mentioned already having 125 subs now because a large creator (Logdotzip, it turns out, after i did some sleuthing bc Pix failed to mention who it was) had showcased his armor stand swapping redstone mechanism on his channel after seeing it on reddit and subs were trickling in from the namedrop and link in the description. And then a week and a half later OMGcraft/OMGchad, a popular minecraft tips and tutorials channel and member of Mindcrack, made his very first creator spotlight video and chose to showcase Pix and his tutorial style on his channel with it. He gained thousands of subs overnight. He was at 6k within a couple weeks. crazy to think about

Dvs2!Pixlriffs having a crisis of reality standing in a base he clearly built but does not clearly remember building, shaking Paige by the shoulders demanding if they know if he built this place

Paige, who is only there because they needed to use his nether portal and didn’t know they’d be walking into this:

"[Zloy's] whole biz is sacrificing creatures to aid his diabolical dark magic schemes which, you know, I could be on board with, especially if it means killing mobs (for fun)!" -Pix, Decidedly Vanilla s2e7

Lmao get you a friend who will happily join in your diabolical dark magic schemes for the chance to kill

Pixlriffs announcing ZloyXP has been added to the server! (decidedly vanilla s2e6)

I always love moments like these so much. I'm always left with a profound sense of awe whenever i witness clips like these in hindsight. Or even think back on stuff like this in my own life. Like Man this guy has No Idea the sort of long-lasting friendship this moment is about to lead to.

Transcript:

We have a new member of Decidedly Vanilla playing on the server at last! It's not like we wanted to replace Logan but we definitely wanted to have somebody else in the lineup pretty soon. And we have a new member in the form of ZloyXP who is somebody we were aware of kind of peripherally but we didn't necessarily run in the same circles except he's on Magicraft with bRanN and Ovi and a few of our other friends and bRanN liked him and thought we should give him a chance and the rest of us very much agreed! He's an excellent builder, he's a very very funny guy, has his own kind of like roleplay stuff going on which we think is cool cuz we've been doing a bit of roleplay on the server recently and we think he's a good fit for that. So welcome Zloy to the server! You've probably heard of him before and his videos are definitely going to be around. He's already made one from the server, I think, when he arrived and he's got a couple of other things coming up, so pay attention to this guy.

Anyway so i’ve been watching more of pix’s deciededly vanilla season 2 and my brain is now Brrrrrring because in episode 5 he goes out in search of a new place to live because someone is starting to set up a system of bureaucracy in the spawn town and he was not about that. And he’s guided by a faint vision prompting him to a location he saw while adventuring for resources. And when he gets there he finds an old Ruin on a mountain side he does not remember being there. That he Built. But barely remembers building. He gets like. Flashes of memory of having built the place but is baffled because he does not actually remember building it. And my brain is speedrun any% attaching this immediately to es2!pix

Ancient Capital. Nameless Ruins. Pixlriffs sure does love building ruins as a base with names lost to history and i for one love watching him build them
