The song stuck in my head is just the beeping sound of groceries getting scanned.

I hold a dislike for produce, especially when it doesn't have a barcode. Except bananas. I fw bananas. 4011 all over the place and they are good at weighing

(unlike cherries, all my homies hate scanning + weighing cherries)

Draxas sat her down and explained what a qpr is and asked if she wanted that and she just went "I thought we were already doing that???" /silly

Reddraxas, they're definitely not romantic, definitely not familial, but feels more than platonic. My fav qpr ship, they're forced together again and again by fate, not choosing each other yet they constantly find themselves relying on each other.

Is it technically some sort of unnameable cosmic force drawing them together? Yep.

But they're such a good qpr especially since they've been having sleepovers in the clock tower the past two Abraxas streams

Shoutout to minecraft lore (especially when streamed from multiple povs) for being such a good demonstration of how conflicts can be messy and there's not always one good answer to something.

I make an effort to understand the motivations behind each character which is definitely easier in a medium like this where you often can get multiple perspectives (harder to do in a tv show or movie often). It is cool to see within myself the flip between feeling character A is justified for threatening character B over private personal info being learned without their say and then switching over to feeling sympathetic toward character B and a bit upset at character A for the fact that as the audience we get to know it wasn't malicious.

That one example is just one instance of how this has happened for me and I could go on and on about restorative practices and community conferencing but tumblr might not be the audience that wants to hear that so I'll leave it more brief. It is awesome to be able to face such complex conflicts in such an accessible medium and it really offers a lot of opportunity to explore how you genuinely feel about things that happened and responses different people had to them.

I think it's neat :3 ty for reading my rambles

On the cosplay train of thought, I have never cosplayed before...however I do have a violin and multiple characters that either canonically or in speculation play violin...

Now would cosplaying Virgil from Skybound SMP and Jaxper from WWSMP just to make them play violin be a smart idea?? maybe it could be....

The bologna man has refused to let up. We had hoped he had washed down the shower drain or been corrupted by the mold but his presence remains a shadow over our lives...

So this brings up the question: who would be able to get him to wear one faster, Dawn or Io?

... for no reason in particular :3

Asking for a friend. Do you think Percy would own a maid dress?

I Know What You Are.

LOL but actually- I don't think he'd mind wearing one! He's always kind of had that "IDGAF" attitude about clothing, no matter what it is. You could probably convince him to put on a playboy bunny suit with minimal effort.

You didn't hear this from me though shh shh

"#the most important takeaway is they call him bite for a reason" is wildddd

I love minecraft lore just going super in depth with world building!!

i just spent an entire car ride thinking about the canonical gender and anatomy system in exorian society. nobody asked for this but here it is!

Pronouns: Pronouns are unaffiliated with physical traits, sex, or gender identification. Pronouns are a personal choice, or what your caretakers referred to you as. Changing these are not a big deal, and it isn't uncommon for Exorians to cycle through theirs or use multiple.

Anatomy: "Bite nobody asked for this" TOO BAD. Exorians are like any other mer -- reproductive anatomy varies depending on a multitude of factors, largely the aquatic characteristics. Some Exorians are more mammalian, while some are more aquatic in reproductive processes. HOWEVER. Exorian sex traits don't always align "properly." Exorians can be born with a variety of genitilia -- some for carrying young, some for giving young, some for both, some for neither. Some Exorians are born with the internal organs for reproduction but not the aligned external ones. (For example, born with a uterus but not the associated genitilia) Intersex (for lack of a better term) and infertile Exorians aren't uncommon and there isn't a prejudice one way or another against them.

Across Aquatic Species: Exorians, and I imagine other mer, can't reproduce with Exorians with entirely different aquatic species. If a fish and dolphin mer tried to reproduce, for example, it wouldn't work. Same with mammalian and mollusk, etc. That doesn't mean they can't be mates or companions, just that they're physically incapable of making more Exorians.

Mates vs. Companions: The companion system has always been loosely defined intentionally, because... that's how it works. Exorians don't have a concept of sexuality or love the way other merfolk do simply because it's not that easy for them anatomically or culturally. Companions are the selected individual (or individuals) an Exorian has deemed worthy to be by the side of. Every companionship is different: some may do physical affection, intimacy, or even become mates. Not all companions are mates. Mates are specifically there for reproductive or emotional purposes. Not all mates are companions, but they usually are. Some types of mer among Exorians have courting customs with their mates (fun fact, mer!Bite's family does mating bites!), but there's not a one universal one. Mates don't have to be of the same type of aquatic creature but usually are.

Gender and Sex: Don't really exist the way they do in human or overworld terms. There are too many different factors in the biological make up of Exorians and too many varients to make a list of gender identities or sexes. Some grow facial hair, breasts, etc., but it doesn't really correlate to whatever is in their pants lol.

Sexuality: Same as above. Your value as a good companion or mate is determined on how impressive of an Exorian you are. Sure, some folks have a type, but it's not based on gender or sex lol.
