I don't watch beef (yet?)
Give me the propaganda.
Hiii welcome to the unskippable cutscene. Except it is skippable because sometimes I'm nice to the poor poor souls who follow me
This is VintageBeef (season 9 skin on the left, skin from all prior seasons on the right) and he is the most normal and okay completely sane guy on the whole planet.
This season he's dedicated literally hundreds of hours building map upon map to make Hermit TCG. But you know this part already, if you watch literally any hermit other than Hypno and Iskall (love you guys!)
Beef's claim to fame isn't mapmaking (usually) but is instead his storytelling. He's incredibly good at creating subplots and builds where the lore is implied rather than said, think the cloning machine from s7 that birthed Helsknight and Green Eyed/Skinless Beef.
Also think whatever his deal was in s8, because he played it completely straight the entire time and because of Moon's Big we will never get an explanation. This haunts me.
Look at him. Just look at him. Doesn't this intrigue you? It certainly intrigued this lovely author here. I'm never getting over this though. Especially because when he entered s9 it was just gone (with the exception of this little patch, which no one talks about, that I've only seen literally one artist draw, that VintageBeef has never addressed)
s8 he mastered conveying the uniquely helpless experience of even the character himself not knowing what was happening to him while the audience can maybe guess - leaving all parties involved unable to do anything to change the course of the story. Which I am normal about! And next topic!
Also for the sell of actually watching his videos? We all love a bloke who is just some guy. We all love a guy who is completely average at PvP, who isn't the inventor of all redstone (looking at you, Impulse, Etho and Tango!), who doesn't build photorealistic recreations of fantasy worlds as a hobby. We love a man of the people. A real 6/10.
His videos are all very relaxing - he is a very chill youtuber, who prefers to take his videos slow and steady (he built a cabin in the woods! it's the only "house" he's made since episode, like, twenty). Also, consider, kind man with deep voice. Thank you for coming to my TED talk I'll be here all night!
Moral of the story? Please watch VintageBeef he's great.
