Having been in that place of “so many long distance friends all in one place!!” A couple of times I just can’t help but feel so much second hand happiness for the cc hermits. You could tell the entire weekend that they were all so giddy - from raising $800k for charity over two days, yes - but also from just being in the same space. Getting to hug and play fight and shoot each other with nerf guns and bringing treats from home for everyone to try.

It just makes you think, you know. I mainly deal with the characters they play, and try very hard to separate those characters from their creators, but at the end of the day all of the love that they pour into their characters and the world they make together is all down to how much they also love each other irl. And good for them, good for them. I hope they had just as much, if not more, time off the clock to just hang out together

#hermitcraft #hermitcraft charity stream #looking at cc Scar buying those mugs and thinking yeah. yeah I would do that with my friends’ work too #I recognise that this is parasocial #but I reject the notion that it is so in a harmful way #I personally believe pretty much everyone in the fandom is parasocial with the hermits #since part of the product they are selling is just ‘imagine if you had a huge group of friends to good around in minecraft with’#*goof #anyway I just wanted to put that out there #me being happy about other people’s happiness isn’t harmful #if I had turned up at the event expecting them to share that happiness with me it would have been #but I digress #I’m just happy to see people happy #it’s like when you’re at the airport and you see two people run to hug each other you know?#you can’t help but feel their joy

@funkiesims and i saw john mulaney last night and this is the front and back of the shirts we made for the occasion

#john mulaney hate is more than welcome in the replies #his set was remarkably unfunny #he’s always had questionable jokes about jewish people but how DARE this man use the phrase ‘jew me down’#when his whole justification was haha my wife is jewish. like ok buddy #you cheated on her and got another woman pregnant robbing her of her child bearing years #left her for that other woman. put her in the hospital. all while you get to flit around being famous #his last bit was about how he thought his tour bus driver was an idiot redneck but that he was actually autistic #i hate him with my whole heart #i can’t believe there were people who paid $800+ to sit in the front #i planned to buy some of anna marie’s art of equal or greater value to the ticket price but everything on her website is sold out :/#i want a print of dinner in march so badly #john mulaney #big mouth #textpost

if you’re buying bound fanfiction, it’s malicious. no one is entitled to owning a bound copy of their favorite fic.

the list of authors pulling their work from ao3 is only getting larger by the day. and it is a direct result of buying bound fanfics. buying bound fanfiction opens up authors, who did not consent to the selling of their works, and are not seeing any of the profit, to being sued.

there are so many free resources available to learn how to bind, there is an actual option on ao3 itself to download a fic as a pdf, there are free typeset drives and blogs dedicated to learning about bookbinding, so many warnings all over ao3 and fics themselves about how we’re toeing the line on copyright laws. how fucking despicable to see that line and just jump right over it.

capitalism assumes that everything we do has to have profit, has to create money, create monetary gain. you can just enjoy things. you really can. you can get into bookbinding and simply enjoy having the books. you can gift your books to people who will appreciate them. you don’t have to make a profit on things you didn’t even write.

if you’ve gone all the way to learning how to bind books, you can’t play dumb and pretend you don’t know the legalities of selling fanworks. i hope you’re happy with what you’ve created.

Sometimes I remember that I’ve gone out of my way to give love to people who really didn’t deserve it and gosh it really hits me just how much I’ve learned about my own boundaries in just the last year alone.

#˚ʚ meda rants ɞ˚#like i can’t believe that around this time last year i was literally spending so much money to send a care package to a tumblr mutual #a person who always assumed the worst of me #a person who knew nothing about me but tried to call me their bestie #a person who was trying to buy my friendship #a person who loved dropping my name online only to completely ignore me in groups behind closed doors #a person who shamelessly doxxed me multiple times #i like to say that i’m not bitter anymore #but idk i came across an old ask i sent them and felt so bad for the me from last year #she was trying so hard to be liked by this person #a person who really only cared for people if they provided them with some benefit #i wish i could go back in time and snatch those friendship bracelets i made them #because they really didn’t deserve them or any of my love ;-;#lmao on today’s episode of ‘meda treats her tumblr like her personal diary’ xoxo

I love missmangobutt vlogs because the title says “I try (djjebfndksn) workout for a week” but the video also involves her getting into magic, witchcraft, alchemy/symbolism, and a story about buying a nazar eye .

#her friend I guess told her she had to be gifted a nazar eye and that she can’t buy it herself or it’s bad luck #um..what?? kind of TikTok facts you live your life off of??#and it’s ‘cultural appropriation’ even though the people she thinks we are appropriating isn’t the Ottoman Empire who probably stole that #shit from times leading back to the ancient Egyptians..#like damn..#not everyone believes in witchcraft so how the hell is everyone supposed to be gifted a damn eye when they need it #I gifted myself a damn eye and it works also made myself a damn lapis lazuli / merkabah necklace based off my own knowledge !#my necklace is 1000% x stronger than the dinky nazar charm I got for my travel bag #but when I got the nazar eye can I tell you…the clarity and control I received over my own perspectives ! I feel forever protected by an #angel even when my charms are nowhere to be found . once you open the box..can’t be shut again 🎀

I’m not ready to buy tickets to the new Sparks tour oh god it’s coming up so quickly ahHHhAh

(I will be in a lecture when the tickets go on sale so… I’ll be one of those people doing random stuff during lectures, I hope my stress entertains my peers behind me)

#Sparks Tour 2023 #Me saying screw it and planning to buy tickets to a US date as well is peak me behaviour #Because I know I’ll stress about planning stuff about a week before it actually happens #I can’t believe it’s finally going to happen #(Apologies in advance to the people in my life who will watch me descend into madness until July)

The people complaining about the price of vip for L.S. dunes is hysterical to me bc I’ve been to a bunch of shows and the range of prices I’ve paid for a GA show (no perks, nothing other than the show being included in that price) has been between $20-$300 so I truly do not understand how there is discourse around vip (which gets u a q&a AND a signed poster) being $150. GA for my show was only $40 which imo is a perfectly reasonable price for a GA ticket. The dunes guys aren’t putting a gun to your head and making you purchase vip tickets for a hardcore show, if u don’t wanna spend that much then simply don’t

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#also ppl are acting like the poster is a scam or something like that #like dude …. have you ever bought an UNSIGNED posted at a show?? bc I have! and it was $45 #like the vip isn’t a bad deal truly #ls dunes #ls dunes milwaukee #tucker rule #anthony green #frank iero #travis stever #tim payne #I really truly believe that the people complaining are younger folks who haven’t been to shows or people who have only been to arena shows #also like I said in the actual post NO ONE IS MAKING YOU PURCHASE VIP #if you can’t afford it or don’t wanna spend that much then don’t get vip! it’s really truly that fucking simple #like in my case ga sold out really quick so I ended up buying vip #but I didn’t have to do that #it’s not like the actually ga tix we’re that much!#like when I saw ratm it was $115 for the lawn which is behind ga pit and seating #when I saw fob nosebleed seats were $100 #when I saw muse at a small theater it was THREE HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS FOR GENERAL ADMISSION #and the ppl that are going on about how it isn’t ‘punk’ are so annoying like guys…. I’ve been to punk shows and they’re just as expensive #for ga at least #I really believe in my heart that everyone bitching just really wants to meet the band and I get that but come on now #discourse

God. Okay. Not to still be making Jesus Christ Superstar/Black Sails posts but there’s SUCH a parallel to be drawn between Pilate and Rogers in the way they’re both desperate not to be seen as villains, not because they object to committing horrific crimes against humanity which make them inherently villainous, but because they’re afraid for their reputations and how they’ll be remembered by history.

And they both mistakenly believe that they, as leaders of imperial occupying forces, should be able to control how they’re perceived within their narratives. But they CAN’T and this infuriates them.

this vs. Rogers and Madi’s convo in 4x09. Truly nothing like telling a man who is used to there being no limit to his power “you cannot control the outcome of this situation” (or, in Madi’s case “I’m not going to let you”).

#they’re both like ‘can’t believe i’m being FORCED to be the villain by the mean people i’m oppressing :/‘ and it’s like #dude. YOU entered into this situation!!!!!!!! YOU chose the role of ‘villain’!#you just didn’t think you were gonna get caught bc you thought all your atrocities would get passed of as ‘justified’#but NOPE hahaha fuck you!#people give JCS!Pilate a lot of shit for having a prophetic dream that killing Jesus would damn him for eternity and then doing it anyway #but that’s the whole POINT!!!!!!!!#it’s not that he doesn’t realize - it’s that he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing as he utterly destroys his reputation for all eternity #and it is SO satisfying #because that’s the whole reason he’s trying so hard to avoid crucifying Jesus - not because he’s a good or merciful person but because #he’s afraid for his good name #which is SO reminiscent of Rogers insisting on offering Madi the treaty again in 4x09 #he frames it as an act of mercy inspired by Eleanor but i don’t buy that for a second #it would just be a lot more convenient for him if he could get both a signed treaty AND the cache out of this situation #because then his debts are paid AND he can frame himself as the ‘hero’ who stopped a war that could have ended civilization #whereas if he just kills them all - he doesn’t get that glory and risks not getting the cache either #AND - as it turns out - it also leads to him being defeated and having his reputation destroyed in the historical record #i am Once Again Saying that a JCS-esque AU where Flint and Silver know the ending from the start (to varying degrees) would be SO good #and it DEFINITELY involves Rogers having a prophetic dream about his defeat and humiliation and being even MORE terrified of that happening #Billy somewhat plays Judas to both Flint and Silver but so does Silver to Flint #and i don’t feel like anybody else fits in specific boxes - it’s really just Black Sails But With Selective Narrative Awareness #and it is VERY sexy and i think about it every day of my life #anybody who wants to talk more about this MESSAGE ME - i’m about to go to bed but my brain is EXPLODING #black sails

Thinking back to how idiots really said Taylor’s verfied fan system for rep tour was “ exploiting” her fans. Bruh I’d do absolutely anything to go back to watching her eat food off her shirt for tickets.

#idk if it would work now bc the demand is still Al much higher #and some people might say those who buy have an unfair advantage but non purchases still got us boosts #it was much more fair than bots #I LITERALLY HAVE POST ON HERE DEFENDING THAT SYSTEM #tm hated it bc they didn’t make enough money #there was even articles saying she’s exploiting us and forcing kids to do her marketing #I can’t believe I ever complained about having to watch her eat food off her shirt #verfied fan #I think like other countries US really needs to have scalping laws #this is why I’m such a rep girl #TAKE ME BACK

Ahhhh the job I thought i didn’t get bc they never got back to me after my interview (which I thought went really well) just reached out to me bc apparently the person they tried to hire backed out.,.. and now its gonna be like another month of wondering if I’m gonna have to decide if I want to move to another state where I don’t know anyone. And i was kind of relieved when i never heard back bc I’m really happy here with my family and gf and friends but the fact is my job here is a contract with very slim hopes of developing into a real job with benefits and i live with my parents bc i love them and our house and our town but i know i have to seriously consider this opportunity bc it would be a good career move and i want to live a rich and interesting life. But I don’t want to talk about it with anyone irl because my dad has covid which has been my number 1 fear since the start of the pandemic (he’s 71 and immunocompromised but he’s doing well and not needed the hospital) and I just want to be able to only worry about that I can’t even talk about the job thing which i drove myself and everyone around me crazy with already back in October. Which is why I’m just posting it vjfdhk I’m being tormented by forces beyond my control i feel like this is the sort of thing it would be really helpful to believe in God about
