Concience, Optimism, Creativity, Kindness...is this anything?
My personal Joe Hills Experience fresh out the oven under the cut:
I've started drawing this Joe piece (Jiece?) yesterday after work but the migrane did me in halfway so I conked out early. Woke up at 4 am, checked if anybody's streaming and lo and behold - Joe Hills just started. (Somehow I am already following him on twitch? I have no memory of ever being on his stream before) Joe's talking about a new book from my favorite at the moment author, immediate bonding moment. No webcam on the screen, wait no, there is a webcam it's a tiny 80px Joe on top of a green glass in the last hotbar slot. Someone sent a tip and Joe gets bigger, he is on greenscreen, in a green cap and green glasses, he picks up an abaccus to count the tip??
I get my first morning coffee and decide to also send some. He. He reads it aloud and then sings a happy song to me specifically!! Pure Delight! Meanwhile Joe is building a Mardi Gras float that throws dispensers at you, in front of his flint build in the shopping district that throws arrows if you remove armor, the mardi gras float involves lots of armor stands and armors, arrows keep shooting and he picks them and puts back into the dispenser, sysyphus is taking notes. Did i mention he's building a mardi gras float an hour before mardi gras starts?
Frenetic energy of homework due tomorrow fills the air, even though it's 5 am on a tuesday and I'm like, 34, I feel it too. More tips come in and Joe keeps getting bigger on screen, which is good for me specifically actually since I am actively drawing him at this very moment, the reference is spectacular. Joe goes on a lil break and plays a couple of his songs while away. Certifed bops and bangers, both of them! Someone in chat writes the funniest thing ever and I audibly yell, Joe shares a lot of wisdom which I agree with.
It's 6 am, DocM77 logs in and comes in to check out the build. I am in the same timezone as Doc, why is he on a regular tuesday online at 6am?? Doesnt matter, everyone is having a deligfhtful time. Joe makes a haiku, as he does, as he finishes the Mardi Gras float at midnight right on time for the Mardi Gras. Stream ends. It is 7 am, I have to go to work now I guess? After having a Joesperience??? Anyway, if you ever have some income you dont mind sparing - keep it hidden until you somehow end up on Joe stream and send him a tip, a Joespirience is something anyone could benefit from.
The mardigras video is up on his channel right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epoATDqjJDQ
Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.
