3 in 1 Zedvancements trophy stamp >:D
Zedaph bringing back Zedvancements is going to be amazing, I can't wait to see what else he does this season.
if you're not watching Zedaph you're not living.
description/transcript:
Zedaph and Etho have collaborated to make a Minecraft version of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, which makes liberal use of cannon blasts as percussion. Etho's contribution is the noteblock timing; Zedaph's contribution is the creeper explosions that replace the cannon blasts.
Zedaph: are you ready to go, Etho?
Etho: on your count.
Zedaph: okay—3, 2, 1—go!
Etho: here we go!
Zedaph: drum roll...
[the noteblocks begin playing]
[the first creeper blast goes off]
Zedaph: (whispering) yesss!
Etho: (laughs)
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: yes!!
Etho: (laughs) it's going!
[three creeper blasts]
Zedaph: yes!!!
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: (laughs)
Etho: oh, it's so good.
[creeper blast]
Zedaph: oh yeah, the silence—build up—
Etho: build up.
[nine creeper blasts]
Zedaph: okay—coming to the end!
Etho (overlapping): here it is! grand finale!
[six creeper blasts]
[charged creeper explodes, killing both of them]
Zedaph: yeah—hahahaha!!
Zedaph: oh my god! (laughs)
Etho (overlapping): (laughing) that's perfect, man, that was perfect. flawless.
Zedaph: what an instrument, what a beautif—Etho—
Etho (overlapping): ohhh my goodness—
Zedaph: big round of applause for your wonderful noteblocks there, that was—
Etho: and—and to you with your percussions! amazing.
Zedaph (overlapping): (laughing)

zedaph is the fucking silliest guy. who else on the hermitcraft server would make a hundred realistic statue copies of himself and then invite his friends to his house to find the real him so he can award himself a trophy
Reminisce
Zedaph had convinced Tango and Impulse to join him for a new Zedvancement, one that he happily titled, “reminiscent of the past”, an idea that he had gotten from an old friend of his, someone that he had finally gotten in contact with again during the crossover.
A part of the reason Zed created the Zedvancement was to help motivate himself to finally finish “The Hall of All” before another update affected the server and his completion anxiety got worse.
Zedaph thought that convincing Impulse and Tango to help would go along with the idea of the achievement, bringing back some friends from the past (and maybe get them to stop focusing too hard on their projects and forgetting to take care of themselves.)
The challenge they were facing was relatively simple, all they had to do was collect every single drop that came from suspicious blocks! Including the Armor trims-
He had yet to tell Tango and Impulse this.
Well, that wasn’t entirely true! The two of them knew that they were going hunting for ruins, they just didn’t know why, or what Zed was looking for.
Zedaph had been pondering for a little too long, it seemed, because when his eyes focused again and he had no thoughts to think, a pair of vibrant red and orange eyes were staring into his.
He bleated in surprise, jolting back, and scaring Tango, causing his hair to light on fire with the abruptness of it all.
On his left, Impulse burst out laughing, confused yet entertained by their antics.
“Are you okay Zedaph? We’ve been standing here for a bit and you didn’t notice.”
Zed blinked, and that was when he realized he had gotten lost in his head. “Oh, sorry Tango! I got a little lost in my head there.” He giggled, and Tango started laughing as well.
“You're fine Zeddy, I just didn’t expect that.” Impulse pulled out a water bucket and dumped it over Tango, who ended up yowling, and the three of them broke down laughing again.
It took another five minutes for them all to calm down, and breathe. And another one for Tango and Impulse to remember that they had been called there.
“Oh, yeah! Zed, why did you call us here?”
Zed’s eyes darted away from theirs, and his stance became shy. They both knew in an instant that Zed had an A) complicated idea, or B) an extremely silly and hard idea.
“So… you two agreed beforehand, you cannot back out now-” Tango looked concerned and scared. “You two know that we are hunting for ruins, well, i was trying to get myself to focus on The Hall of All, and i was missing a bit after the update, sooo… yall are helping me with gathering all the items from suspicious blocks that can be existified!”
“Wait, we are what?!”
“What?!”
Well they were taking that well.
— — — — — — — — — — —
They hadn’t found one full pottery set after 5 ruins.
Including the suspicious blocks that weren’t in ruins, they had gathered at least one of every candle, a few emeralds, some different colored glass panes, and a friend pottery shard alongside a Burn pottery shard and a Relic music disk.
They were working on the 6th ruin, and although they had been joking most of the time, it was still relatively quiet.
It was Tango that changed that.
“Hey, do you two remember when Skizz got himself stuck in a redstone contraption he was making for us?”
Impulse snorted at the memory, turning his head towards Tango as he brushed the gravel.
“Of course I do. He messed up all the redstone in it.”
“Hey, Skizzle tried his best. Even if it was kinda failing-”
The three of them laughed, and quieted down again, but soon after impulse grinned. “Hey Zed, remember when you took some drowning damage at the beginning of hardcore hermits?”
Zedaph spun to Impulse, a look of betrayal painted across his face and Tango wheezed for breath.
“You- you traitoror! You- Heathen!” Zedaph stuttered, clearly at a loss for words, before he spun to Tango, and pointed at him.
“You have no right to laugh, Mister! I’m not the one who fell into his own mob farm!”
Tango let out a garbled wail, awfully reminiscent of a sound Impulse felt as though he had heard before. Maybe on a different server.
“Yeah, well I didn’t break a whole redstone contraption by forgetting to place one dust, huh Impulse?”
“Oh, you be quiet-”
They kept laughing, pointing out different embarrassing moments the three of them (and occasionally Skizz) had made throughout the years.
— — — — — — — — — — —
When the three of them returned back to the hole in the mountain, they were still quite a ways away from completing a Zedvancement.
Tango and Impulse had had enough fun that they agreed to join Zedaph again, sometime in the next week.
For Tango, it was because he hadn’t realized he needed an escape from decked out until he had it.
For Impulse, it was because he hadn’t taken time to just laugh with friends in a long while.
And For Zedaph, it was because of his Zedvancement, and being able to have team ZIT together again.
Zedaph found himself thinking, a few hours after they had left, that the title of the trophy had maybe had more of an impact then he had thought. Because although they had raided some ruins, found artifacts from whatever was here before, they had been reminiscing on their own pasts as they did it.
Maybe Zed should start dragging more of his friends into these.
And maybe he could use the ruins as an excuse to get a good photo of Tango and Impulse together.
He giggled at the idea, before grabbing a piece of paper, and started planning.
mcyttober day 2: advancements
believe it or not this is my first time drawing zed! i’ve been watching his videos for a little while and he’s just a silly dude.
drawing this was quite fun! it was a bit difficult figuring out the outfit but i’m pretty proud of of the outcome!
I acquired this thru my sheer s- oh! oh, shiny? shiny! shiny? i like shiny! meep!
I double checked and Cub put the quest start by the diamond beacon, which is also where Zedaph got killed by an allay with pants though Zedaph’s death was closer to the edge. I am looking at this coincidence and taking psychic damage.
Wait. Really? *goes to check* Oh shit. It really is in the same space nearish the diamond beacon, yeah! Cub could've put that Allay head anywhere, and that's where he chose to put it? oml.
The thing is, Cub is 100% the type who would pick that spot deliberately and just not mention it, plus with the Allay use and the pillager themes in the quest itself I
SIR FAN OF THE CUBS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
