Hey so my hobby in the last week or so has been of building a giant glass ball in Minecraft, 64 block in diameter, put a wall in its centre and fill one half with water, with lava in the other. Here’s the result :

You can absolutely reblog if you like it, it’s random creation for fun that happens to be pretty [/Image description/: Seven screenshots of a structure in the game Minecraft. A giant, hollow glass sphere stands on an endless plain of sandstone. The sphere is 64 blocks in diameter, with a 2 block thick wall dividing its centre. The left half is filled with lava, creating a glow from inside.The right half is filled with water. The first two screenshots show the sphere during the day and night, using the default textures. The third and fourth shots are similar, but this time using BSL Shaders, adding lifelike realism to the structure, textures and lighting. The remaining pictures are all set at night. The fifth shot shows the detailed reflection of the lava on the glass wall and water, from outside the sphere. The sixth screenshot shows the glow of the lava through the glass wall, from inside the water half. The last picture shows the sphere with the water to the left and lava to the right, the shadowed lava behind the glass wall looking like the pupil of an eye. /End image description/ ]

speaking of peeing the bed it's been long enough that i can tell this story publicly. in high school i went to a party at some house with no adults, as you sometimes would, and at the end of the night like 10 people all clonked out together in the same bed. fully clothed, one of those teenage moments where you're like wow heehee how rule-breaking, because sure a lot of our parents wouldn't like us sleeping in a bed with a bunch of other teenagers and no adult supervision blah blah. fond memories. anyway.

i'm an extremely light sleeper, so i barely slept, and sometime around 6 am, i woke up to a girl totally panicking, very quietly, because she peed the bed in her sleep. and listen. this wasn't a group of mean kids by any measure. but there's no level of kindness or understanding in the world that will make peeing the bed when you're 17, surrounded by people you only sort of know, a gentle blow.

so i sat up and she was like "oh my god" and I signaled at her to be absolutely silent and I said I'd be right back. And I crawled over everyone and out of the bed like a stupid cat.

and the thing is, by senior year i wasn't getting bullied much anymore. i was generally pretty well liked by my peers, but, if this makes sense, people still didn't always expect very much from me. i was still figuring out how to mask (autistic) and i still often said or did something that made everyone remember i'm weird and they'd just be like "well. that's story for you. i guess." and for the most part i'd become pretty secure in that.

so what i'm saying is i had nothing to lose and this girl had everything to lose.

so i went downstairs and i made tomato soup. and by "made" i mean i put a whole can of tomato soup in a too-small mug and microwaved it until it was lukewarm so as to be convincingly "made" but not so hot to burn someone.

and then i walked back upstairs, and no longer like a cat, i clumsily "attempted" to crawl back into bed, loudly lost my balance, and spilled tomato soup all over the girl and her lap and several other people's laps and heads and the mattress.

everyone woke up confused and anguished and i was like, "oh my god, I'm so sorry. I just got really hungry and it's all i could find."

and everyone immediately accepted with absolutely no further questions that I would go downstairs, make tomato soup at 6 am,and bring it back to bed. everyone just begrudgingly climbed onto the floor and went back to sleep while I put the bedding right into the laundry.

i don't even know this girl's name. i only remembered this story recently because i'm in my hometown for a few months and recently a high school acquaintance said, "hey. do you remember spilling soup on everyone after prom? why did you do that?" and for a moment i genuinely did not and i stared at them completely dumbfounded while the memory loaded and then i started laughing too hard to answer for 2 minutes.

the best part is i can tell this story, and even if it reaches the people who were there, none of them will know which one of them peed the bed. thanks to tomato soup.

tardis console rooms ranked by how good i think they'd be to have sex in

list NON exhaustive. im sure im gonna miss a console room variation. let's go.

worst to best:

The Coral Console room: i feel like im gonna ruffle some feathers w this one but honestly. it sucks. nowhere good to fuck in this console room. you've got the horrible little seats. the floor is like a grill?? awful. plus im gonna level with you, this one looks Grimy. i feel like a lot of the surfaces have space oil on them. yucky. no disrespect to it as a console room but i would not have sex in here.

The Classique: absolutely spartan. lighting white and overbearing. nowhere to fuck in here except on the console which is one of those scenarios i think sounds fun in theory but in practice would be a terrible idea, OR the floor which looks very hard. perhaps marginally more practical than the coral bcos it at least looks clean but probably the least sexy.

The roundel console room: hmm on the one hand, this one has mood lighting and the jukebox. however i think being naked in here would feel awfully exposed and also it's just all floors and ramps and railings. hate to say it bcos i love this one.

The wooden console room: this one definitely has a more pleasant atmosphere than the classique. it also has actual furniture in it which is a plus & my reason for rating it higher than any of the above. however: all hard surfaces.

The crystal console room: i don't think this one has anywhere good to fuck, however, gotta rank it relatively high on pure atmosphere.

The glass floor console room: this one has a LOT going on aesthetically. the glass floor looks extremely uncomfortable but like from a visual point of view it has potential. there's also some legitimately comfy looking furniture in there. however i think the reality is there's nowhere comfortable to fuck in here.

The silver console room: very atmospheric. is there furniture in here?? i don't remember what the furniture situation is but it's full of bookcases which appeals to me. i feel like it must have somewhere to sit & read or it wouldn't have all those books.

The sixties: ok bear with me on this high entry. the key difference between the classique and the sixties is that the sixties console room has that delightful combo of spaceship aesthetic & victorian furniture which they just kind of forgot about as the show went along. the lact of consistency in what furniture items appear in the console room creates the impression that it just kinda spawns whatever furniture is needed. this includes on occasion!! a recliner chair/couch that the Doctor naps on. i can't find a good picture of it but like yeah you could have sex on that thing. also the atmosphere is a lot less sterile than the classique.

The Victorian Parlour console room: i mean this goes without saying. there's like actually comfortable furniture and rugs on the floor and things. AND a really great atmosphere!! look at that lighting. 10/10. legitimately good love nest.

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

Be sure to check out the reaction from pReview'd as they watch Dead Boy Detectives (and leave some support for them and the show in the comments!) 💀🔎

The DBDA fandom is so great when it comes to giving back. Like, what do you mean we raised THAT MUCH MONEY for charity. What do you mean that fanart is constantly appearing and reappeating on the dash with such nice comments. What do you mean that authors get comments on fics they wrote over a year ago. What do you mean fandom can be like this

I miss them

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

The biggest misconception in public schools is that literary analysis is about proving you can be right or wrong about a book you read

Literary analysis isn’t about the book

It’s not even about being right

It’s about performing an investigation and presenting your case to the jury

It doesn’t matter if your defendant killed that guy or not. If you can convince the jury he didn’t, you’ve won

And the incredible life skill of spinning bulletproof bullshit out your ass with a handful of facts and a prayer is soooooooo much more valuable than anyone’s ever gonna tell you

Crow with Yorkshire accent:

It recently came up in conversation with my toddler that some birds can talk, and this has caused her great concern.

See, we were talking about how movies are pretend and how in real life, animals don’t talk. I mentioned that there are some birds who talk a little bit, but not like the animals in movies, and she just looked at me like “???”

So I informed her that some kinds of parrots can copy sounds that people make, and can learn how to say words. I thought this would give her a giggle, as fun new facts often do, but she was just deeply perplexed and a little worried about this.

“Birds can talk?” “Do they ask questions?” “What do they say?” Why do they talk?” “Do chickens talk?” “What about Blue Jays?” “Why do some birds talk?” “How do they talk?” “Birds TALK???”

We showed her a video of a parrot doing the “Hello, pretty bird, give a kiss” thing, and she was dead silent the whole time, hugging her comfort pillow with her knees to her chest. We asked if she wanted us to turn it off, and she shook her head. But we also asked if she wanted to see another one, and she shook her head even harder.

I don’t know why it has distressed her so greatly to learn that some birds can mimic human speech; but then again, I don’t know why it doesn’t distress the rest of us more to know that some birds can mimic human speech.

I keep thinking about that post that’s like “The first person to hear a parrot talk was probably Not Okay.” Because that’s exactly what happened. She had never been introduced to the concept, and her entire worldview got SHOOK.
