#which I recommend btw

[fluffypotatey]

okay so:

the year is 2021. the month is june. the new season of hermitcraft, season 8, has just started, and everything is great! the hermits are all messing around, having fun, building insane things within the first week of the server being active, and generally having a good time. everyone's collected themselves into little factions, pranking each other, and it's all the fun, lighthearted, mostly-vanilla content hermitcraft is known for.

and then the split between minecraft versions 1.18 and 1.19 is announced. the delay of new terrain, and especially of new mobs like the warden, considerably disrupt several of the hermits' plans. but it's fine, they'll figure something out, they're professionals, and it mostly goes unnoticed.

about two weeks later, on november 9th, grian turns to mumbo jumbo in one of his episodes, and asks the famous question that would seal hermitcraft season 8's fate:

"mumbo, is the moon... big?"

suddenly, the fans panic. they search back through videos and streams, and realize that the moon had been abnormally large and stuck in a full-moon phase since october 30th. the Moon Big event has begun.

this is where the roleplay really starts. once the moon's size has been brought up, the hermits start a weird combination of scrambling to figure out why the moon's growing, and how to stop it- but also of ignoring it, hoping it won't be a problem, hoping someone else will deal with it. the moon keeps getting bigger, more hermits start realizing it's going on, and a creeping sense of dread starts to grow. but it's fine. it's fine, right? they do little plotlines like this all the time. they'll figure something out, the moon will go back to normal, and we'll laugh about it when this is all over. it's fine.

and then, blocks start flying away. just floating up out of the ground, and falling right back down! like for a moment, a square meter chunk of dirt has decided it's a ballerina and leaped out of the ground! but it's fine, right? the blocks are coming back. no lasting harm is done. they're going to fix it all... right?

the moon gets bigger. it's growing every day- local hermit weirdguy joe hills measures it every stream. the blocks start flying higher. gravity starts getting... weird, with players getting the slow falling effect at random, and being lifted off of the earth themselves. the players form cults and rituals and whatnot to try and appease the moon, convince it to leave them alone, making plans to escape. nothing works. things keep getting worse, and the moon keeps getting bigger. but it'll be fine. these storylines never leave lasting harm, or at least they never have before. they'll be fine.

and then the blocks stop coming back, just floating into the sky forever. the players have the slow falling effect more than they don't now. the moon is now so big it's visible even during the day, and fills the entire sky at night. they start planning their escapes in earnest, and say their goodbyes. some hermits jump into a void hole in the overworld (it was the centerpiece of their village). some flee to the End, some to the nether, some just fly with elytras and hope they can get far enough away in time. one brave hermit, tango, flies himself to the moon in a futile attempt to blow the whole thing up before it can crash.

but in the end, the moon crashes into the server, and everything they'd built was destroyed. and the whole time, there'd been nothing any of them could've done. season eight was over, a full six months before anyone had expected it to end, and season nine wouldn't start until about three months later. and im still not okay about it.

(here's a cool animatic of the moon's crash! honestly i dont think you need too much hermitcraft knowledge to get the gist)

(also the moon crash happened on the day before my birthday lmao.)

….

holy shit

#ok ok let me see if i have the timeline correctly: #1) s8 begins in June and so does the new update announcement #2) months go by with no issue (that they’re aware of) #3) it’s in November when they realize the moon has been growing #4) does the moon crash in January??? #but gawddam #that is one apocalypse story if I’ve heard of one #also fitting bc i think it was 2021 where we were getting a LOT of asteroid/moon fall movies #idk what was in the air (possibly the pandemic that led to unforced isolation & ppl coped with apocalypse stories) #and somehow that bled through to a Minecraft server???? somehow????? #wild #this also reminds me of an apocalypse movie i watched with a friend called ‘3 Días’ #very good movie btw #highly recommend (it is a Spanish only film which i don’t think will be an issue bc subtitles) #anyway #asks #smp 101 with gumy #hermitcraft edition!

So, I started watching Link Click...

#poorly drawn link click #Link Click #cheng xiaoshi #lu guang #I am only at episode 4 - waiting to watch the rest with my buddy (It's been few weeks and I'm vibrating! I really enjoy it!) #btw I am 100% blind for this show! All I know is that it's Good and Tragic. So NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!! #Once again I am in Clintbeefwood's debt for the recommendation. #I am so intrigued and hooked by this show. I have also nearly cried at every episode so far. #I already feel so many comic ideas buzzing at the back of my brain! #This one is inspired by the end of episode two. Because what the hell was that energy at the end of the episode? #Also the fondness of which they played basketball together. #I am 80% sure they will not kiss nor have romantic inclinations but I enjoy their dynamic immensely #The 20% doubt comes from the very queer coded old lady yuri episode + the inherent homoerotism of doomed timeline stories. #If they do kiss you I'm drawing them making out sloppy style because I *know* one of them is going to die very shortly afterwards.

Fat people deserve better.

We are not repulsive. We are not vile. We are not appalling.

We are people.

If my existence "promotes obesity"? Good!

You want to know why?

I am not promoting the idea that someone should become obese. I am not going to attempt to police someone else's body and lifestyle like sizeist people do.

I am promoting the idea that people of all sizes are deserving of the bare minimum of basic human respect.

This should not be a radical idea. This should not be something we have to fight about.

99% of the time? Being fat is not a choice. And you know what? Even if it was - even if I was shoving big macs into my greasy fucking maw every 2 hours?

I would still be deserving of basic decency.

I would still be deserving of proper medical care that takes into account things other than my size and diet.

I would still be deserving of comfort, of clothing that fits.

You want to know the worst part of all of this?

Fat kids deserve better, and all too often, they don't get it.

Fat kids deserve to be able to be active without being mocked for the way their body moves.

Fat kids deserve to be seen as children rather than medical problems that need solving.

Fat kids deserve clothing that fits them and makes them feel good about themselves.

Fat kids deserve to eat, and to eat good food.

Fat kids deserve to eat cake at birthday parties like everyone else.

Fat kids deserve to go trick-or-treating like all the other kids.

Fat kids deserve love. Fat kids deserve respect.

Fat kids deserve a proper childhood without having to pay a toll of trying to change their bodies.

Fat kids deserve acceptance for their bodies as they are and as they will be - not pleasantries about how they'll grow up to be skinny, so they don't need to learn to love themselves before then.

Fat people deserve better.

#if y'all want some education on the topic #'what we don't talk about when we talk about fat' is rly good #fat positivity #fat liberation #fat acceptance #body positivity #body positive #body image #self love #self acceptance #radical acceptance #radical self acceptance #radical self love #what we don't talk about when we talk about fat #btw if anybody has any book recommendations for body positivity #esp fat positivity #i would love to hear them #please just include trigger warnings #speaking of which #fatphobia #tw fatphobia #tw fatphobia mention #fatphobia mention #tw sizeism #sizeism #sizeism tw #tw sizeism mention #sizeism mention tw #fatphobia tw #also

TOApril Day 17 - Lamentations of Broken Fathers

I'm not comfortable enough with dramatic lighting to be able to say that this is my best work but oh well

"Who's under the shroud?" you may ask. Well if you reject the bounds of PJO's timeline and use enough imagination it could be literally any of Apollo's children :))))

#originally it was meant to be lee tho #which is why the shroud is covering the head 😬 #btw if you recognize this pose it's because i used one of those statues mourning over tombs as a reference #they're lovely and sad and my reference folder is full of them #btw i was listening to 'la petite fille de la mer' and 'an ending (ascent)' while drawing this #so I really recommend checking those out for maximum angst <3 #toapril #toapril 2023 #trials of apollo #apollo #lester papadopoulos #lee fletcher #pjo #percy jackson #rick riordan #lonely thoughts #my art #look at me cleverly hiding his feet LMAO

You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about

#i did look this up a few hours after i reblogged that post yesterday(? or was it the other day) I DO BELIEVE IT'S SHELLEY #if only for the fact that it was for most of a century being identified as LEIGH HUNT instead! yeah right #that is not leigh hunt in 1822 #i recommend googling the uva library article about it. it shows the full portrait which the telegraph does not in its preview #and that one is also behind a paywall so i couldn't even reeeead it #thank you university of virginia <3 #it is not slacking for information btw. there's a forthcoming article by the person who propisitioned that this is shelley #i look forward to it #percy shelley #art #william edward west #romanticism #portraits #sorry amelia curran. your painting is still better than i could do #but i am feral at the thought of having such a professional likeness #THAT IS A REAL MAN BEFORE US #with such believable and realistic features #i want to believe #i know without a proper title given by the painter we'll never really know #but i a million times will accept this is shelley before i accept that the cobbe portrait is shakespeare lol #whenever i see that being published as shakespeare im like. sir. that's clearly thomas overbury #chandos portrait stans rise #sorry i dont often post about it but i am obsessed with likenesses of famous ppl especially disputed ones #especially disputed ones before the innovation or proliferation of photography!!! cuz wow!!!!

I'll never find the right guy for me because I'd need him to watch Swiss Army Man and not only appreciate it on an artistic level but to love me in the same way Hank and Manny love each others. Without shame, without fear, in a way that's gross and absurd and stinks and it's existential and boundless. I feel that's the only way I could be happy loving someone and being loved. I don't really understand relationships, but I understood that movie, I think, and it stuck with me ever since I watched it. I need someone to understand that shame truly keeps us from love, and not just shame of our little imperfections, but shame everything that's flesh and blood and rots and stinks like shit and feels like shit, it's putrid and it's that one part of the human experience books and movies leave out because it's useless and it isn't nice to tell, that we never think about because it makes us gag, like taking out the trash. After watching that movie, I feel that's the only love I can truly understand. I want something that stinks. I want to be someone's sack of shit.

#swiss army man #I think about this movie way too much and I feel like I am different person now that I've watched it #paul dano #daniel radcliffe #I truly don't get relationships but this movie I get #sometimes I just want to shout from my rooftop SHAME KEEPS US FROM LOVE #but I feel you can't really understand it until you've watched this movie #which I highly recommend to watch with Shame by Steve McQueen btw

Day 14: Water

Prudence is a frequent face at the public bath houses. Her position is rather active at times and there is nothing she enjoys more than relaxing in the warm waters. Her glare is enough to keep most people away so she can enjoy her time in the water alone.

#decembhyur2023 #FFXIV Screenshots #Prudence Dubois #hello look it is the square frame again #from elva's packs of shaders #which btw i cannot recommend enough !! #They can be userd straight from the box but pay attention to her notes on each shader #otherwise if you're like me #you can wiggle things around to get the shade how YOU like it #but she does really good work truthfully i don't wiggle much
