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

hey guys look what i found in my drafts. from a few days ago .

[blatantprinterpropaganda]

so far in the world of thamepo we've seen over and over that silently sacrificing your own happiness for the good of someone you love is ultimately never the way to go (thame tried it for the sake of the other mars members, jun for thame, and inevitably all the sacrifices po made for his ex who then promptly dumped him also feature in there), so my god, i hope that this well-intentioned lie of gam's comes to light at some point asap and she and pepper still get their happy end

Silly little comic I made.

i'm sorry but what exactly is the point of martingales/limited slips with QUICK RELEASE BUCKLES? The martingale style collar is a tool and should never be left on the dog when they're playing with others (soooo easy for other dogs legs and mouths to get caught in the martingale loop regardless if the collar has a buckle or not...) or in a situation where you might need to pop a quick release buckle. the purpose of the martingale is to prevent escape (great for dogs with tiny heads, strong dogs that could forcefully pull out of other collars, dogs with a lot of hair) when walking/working/on tie out (although i much prefer a limited slip if you MUST have a tightening collar on an escape artist dog on tie out vs looped martingale, again bc its easier for things to get caught in a martingale, otherwise a non-buckle circle collar should be used...) whereas the purpose of a quick release buckle is to make sure the dog CAN escape if needed. I understand the inclusion of buckles on martingales is for ease of access for people to put them on and take them off, but just like...adjust the collar big enough to fit over the dog's head and then readjust it for proper tightness afterwards? it takes a little bit longer, but you're not creating a weakness in an anti-escape tool where it doesn't need to be.

so ending notes: quick release buckle collars and non-buckle martingales are different tools meant for different purposes. You can't have it both ways for both these types of tools without voiding some aspect of why they are different in the first place. Sometimes it's okay if your dog wears multiple collars (Sigurd wears two collars! on walks. All my dogs have limited slips/martingales, quick release buckle collars, and non-buckle circle (non-martingale) collars that are used depending on the situation. If they are released to play with each other the non-buckle equipment comes OFF first, literally that easy). One collar with aspects of all kinds of collars is not going to do a specific task as well as the collar made for that task. Buckles on ANY TYPE of dog equipment present a weak spot (as do points of adjustment, but not as much). Buckles can break, be crushed, pop out of place and decrease in strength over periods of time (especially if you have very hot or very cold weather) but crucially allow for a piece of equipment to be released from the dog very quickly which can be an important safety feature. It does not mean it is necessary on every single tool.

thank you for coming to my ted talk? I just saw a dog trainer online tell people to never use non-buckle martingales and it was driving me insane.

the beauty of no home is that, as a reader, eunyung is soo funny and silly and entertaining to watch that you end up rooting for him a lot and really enjoying when hes around. but as a human being you see him leave his trash out in shared spaces for so long it attracts bugs and go holy shit what the hell. this guy sucks fuck this guy. which i think is exactly what knowing him in real life would be like

Sincaraz - a butterfly effect 🦋✨

Did the 20yr old Jannik Sinner have any idea what he was starting under the brights lights of paris when he whispered these 6 words “I hope we play some more” to an 18yr old Carlos Alcaraz? Did he know he had just set the wheels in motion to what would unravel over the next few years? Did he know he had just whispered the first words of a storm that was to come? And if he could turn back time would he do the same again or would he have made a different choice? I wonder what would have been if he had let the wind carry his words instead of repeating himself? If he had just shook his head,smiled and said “Nothing just congrats for the win” and went on his way. Well, i guess we will never know coz he did make sure he was heard didn’t he? He slowed,pulled him close and echoed it softly again. This time the 18yr old did hear him and with a gummy smile tugged at his lips told the older boy ya for sure he hopes for it too. There, that’s where it was done and they had sealed their fates together.There was no stopping it.They had made their choices. The wings had started flapping, a hurricane was being set in motion🌬️🦋✨

I might be the only person in the WORLD who would prefer to ignore AYITL Jess's muscular physique, and it's simply because I'd really rather imagine that he'd be spending his time doing less boring things than going to the gym. 😂😭

a taste of hannibal, a touch of megamind, a shot of venom (pours the whole damn bottle)

i love venom (2018) a lot, it’s my go-to movie when i’m bored or sad, i have seen it many many times. i saw it again a week or so ago with a bud and finally had the opportunity to pen down this lovely au i’ve been thinkin bout

i’ve got a much more fleshed out sketch of how this au plays out. not sure if i’ll write it yet

anyway some bullet points

noir (called, ofc, noir) arrives on earth-138 in the 1920s. his first host is robbie and they basically go through the venom movie, where noir slowly learns to love earth and humanity and all that jazz. up until the 50s or so they’re an investigative reporter and occasionally a scary vigilante superhero!

when robbie is killed (not ewaf style. i forbid it), it fucking devastates noir and he host-hops for a bit, doing fun anarchy things to keep up robbie’s legacy but also losing a few morals here and there. he can do a little murder and eat nazis as a treat

the symbiotes arrive en masse and osborn infects humans with them to turn into his fascist riot police army

through vampire-hunting-esque shenanigans, hobie and noir meet, and strike up a tenuous truce to fight the government. hobie does not like him at first, but noir very much does ;)

cue a slow burn gothic romance between a freedom fighter and a devoted monster <3
