Don't play with your food!!

[phantom-of-the-memes]

Since I’ve been making posts about American/ British entitlement towards Ireland, I thought I’d talk about this video here.

I am a student at this college. It’s a big tourist attraction for many reasons, but the main one being that the book of Kells is kept here. I am also from Kells itself, but Dublin having the book and not Kells is a whole other issue.

So this protest that’s been happening over the the past few weeks is in response to the college once again raising rents for student accommodation to astronomical rates. That being when rent in Dublin (and Ireland as a whole) is already unliveable. You’d find cheaper rent off student accommodation, but it’s hardly easy to find places like this. As well as this, the majority of the student accommodation isn’t even on campus to begin with. Most are about a 45 minute luas journey away. So what the fuck are you paying for?

This protest is necessary. It’s been a long time coming. Time and time again they prioritise tourists over us. Buildings are old and falling apart, equipment isn’t functional, accessibility is god awful. I know this because I am disabled and use a rollator, but I can’t even use it on campus most days because there’s simply no ramps/ elevators in some buildings.

In one of my lectures last week we were in one of the old buildings. We had a lot of content to cover, but of course the projector wasn’t working. The professor spent fourty minutes trying to get the computer/ projector to work, but to no avail. So we have a whole lecture to catch up on! All of this while I was looking out the window at this atrocity:

A new building for tourists! Yay!

They’ve been building new school buildings for years, but of course instead of finishing them, they’ll spend their time and money on the tourists. I’m not even having an exam in one of my modules because they told the professor that there simply isn’t enough room to host our class for the exam. And it would be “too expensive” to book a venue… it’s only a class of about thirty. He had written a whole exam and we were under the impression we’d have one, but now it’s just continuous assessment I guess!

So you have to understand why we’re not exactly jumping for joy for the tourists. There are hundreds on campus everyday, just generally being annoying and entitled. And yes DISCLAIMER; not all tourists, not all Americans/ British people, blah, blah. But from my experience, you do encounter some obnoxious people everyday.

So that’s why they blocked entrance to the book of Kells. That’s why it’s disgusting for the tourists to be arguing with them and demanding entrance. For once we just want our college to prioritise us! So yeah we will revoke your entitlement, because we are the ones who study here, we are the ones who have to LIVE here.

@steddieangstyaugust Day 11: Temporary Character Death

If you asked Eddie what happened after he ran out of that trailer he wouldn't be able to tell you much.

He'd tell you he faced hell and was scared shitless. He'd tell you that Steve must've had a high pain tolerance because those bats hurt like nothing else. He'd tell you he thought of Wayne in those last moments and that he never wanted to see that look on Dustin's face again.

Next thing he knew he was in the hospital, safe and sound.

If you asked Steve it would be a different story.

He'd tell you he's never heard Dustin scream like he did over the radio. He'd tell you he didn't even feel the bat bites as he ran back through the woods. He'd tell you about how Eddie's heart wasn't beating when they got there.

He'd tell you how he felt Eddie's ribs crack as he begged him to stay. He'd tell you how when they got to the hospital how pale Eddie was. He'd tell you how he's never heard a man cry like Wayne when they managed to call him.

He'd tell you how Eddie died on the operating table. He'd tell you how it was lucky Nancy had the same blood type. He'd tell you how he wasn't sure he was breathing until he saw Eddie alive in that bed.

He'd never tell Eddie all these horrible things, he'd keep all the guilt himself. As long as Eddie's lungs filled with air and his heart kept pumping Steve would take all that hurt to his grave, just as long as Eddie didn't join him there.

When Eddie asks him late at night why Steve always lays on his chest, he'll tell him his heartbeat is better than any song ever written and that's all that needs to be said.

Those early days, when we were still figuring things out together.

[tyxaar]

So uh- I did not mean to make this as detailed as it is. @convexweek Day 2! Lost/Found (I know it's a bit late heh...) When a world-hopping traveler gets lost in a snowy wasteland world infested by undead, he's discovered by one of the... more welcoming locals. Headcanon lore dump to explain appearances:

Scar's black marks are the Withering, a chronic version of the Wither effect and the sickness that created the zombies TCD has. However, it's early enough in its progression that it hasn't affected his mobility yet. It's not until Hermitcraft 4 that he starts to feel the harsher effects. Similarly, Cub was cursed with rapid aging for various shenanigans, and it's only partway in its progression when he ends up in Scar's home world. Grey hairs are spreading and his hairline's thinning, but it's not full-on old man Cub yet. I also gave him a bit of stubble. :P

BREAKING| After only 4 days of student protests, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) vows to pull its investments in Israeli companies that feature on a UN blacklist, and set up a taskforce to explore engagement with Israeli institutions.

okaokayokay hELLO IT IS SCULK!SCAR ANON HERE AGAIN TO BRING YOU ANOTHER IDEA

Hear me out Hear me Out Hear Me Out

Scar first being from tcd and having the Worst chance of getting out of the server because all tech-ways had been damaged and broken beyond repair and knowledge for Scar to even try to figure out and the last resort being literally dying except his chance of his player self being wiped and becoming another mindless dead in the infected and *quarantined* server eventually burning a survival instinct in him he'll never be free from

And imagine the type of Feralness Scar has on Kingdomcraft before they're taken to Hermitcraft- all feral swipes and swings and flying fists that Do hit their targets no matter how sloppy it looks because he Has to be Good he Has to show he's not easy to take down he Has to prove hes capable- the few groups of survivors he'd been in- they didn't take kind to broken bones or someone suddenly unable to be as productive as before

And he works it all out in the most cathartic way imaginable - by fighting the other server members of course who aren't trying to harm but *spar* but *play* but *care* but *trust his ability*

But when Scars taken to the life games? When hes mellowed out, vexed, and certainly has a charm for tv?

They underestimate him

And at first it drives his need to be useful in the games, he wants to be a good friend right? Pranks and deals that mean nothing and alliances that aren't alliances right? The whole goal is to be the last one standing sillies! Of *course* nothing can be serious, of course you can say sorry, of *course* you're not going to live forever because it's a *game*

And then every game after stacks and stacks and stacks- and Scar can't access who and what he is as a vex by the purpose of being *fair* but maybe just m a y b e he needs to remind his so called friends that the Vex Choose, no one else, and they didn't even change who he was! Just made him left hesitant for what he always had been before they claimed him for their own, who had cooed and hissed and thrown him about after pampering Scar

And so he slips in his old but There and More Trustworthy than everyone else whos ever betrayed him in the series *instinct* and it's all Him

It's only fair he'd think, seeing as they turn the games slowly into something more serious than they were supposed to be, into something that meant actual life or death and they would condemn *him* for treating it like its not? For treating it all as it's truth?

He bites

Scar can't waste good food now can he?

Ooooooh!

I've been meaning to play with the idea of fitting Scar's TCD series into my headcanon (for those who don't know, Scar had a Minecraft series called 'The Crafting Dead' with a zombie apocalypse before Kingdomcraft and then Hermitcraft.)

1: Scar having a faulty communicator or code from TCD? That's such a cool idea, the thought he might glitch into a zombie after dying?

I'd imagine Scar asked Xisuma at some point about his past, and what might happen to him, and he definitely told Cub about everything he'd been through. I want to imagine there was a bit of a glitch in Scar's code because of it in Season 4, but the Vex just completely overrided it (because the Vex basically kill and resurrect players they like to make them vexlings, which would activate and then override any death glitch in some way). And Xisuma told Scar as much in Season 5, after they figured out the vex stuff.

3: Scar getting anxiety about whether he's an 'important assess' to a team, based on experience of TCD groups kicking out, or even killing, hurt players. This works so well as a reason why Scar feels so hurt and perhaps even scared by Grian calling him a bad soulmate after Double Life. Being told he's not good enough, and then pushed to be on his own because of it? It's a fear Scar thought he didn't have to face, and now he's facing it from Grian.

4: the Life Series would so bring back Scar's TCD instincts. And he would so treat it less seriously, and be alright breaking friendships and causing chaos, thinking it's nowhere near as bad. Scar knows the worst of the worst survival situations, and this isn't it. He's happy to play along, let the Vex control his actions a little because this is a safe place with friends.

And the vex push for more. The vex push for him to get fully possessed. They play on the fears they know Scar has, the instincts he has. And even though Grian and the watchers say no, Scar snaps.

His just snaps back into TCD instincts in Secret Life. He's been too soft. He lets himself use all the skills he learnt from TCD, and all the power and ruthlessness of the Vex in the final episode. He gets to win in his own right, by his own skill.

And Cub recognises all of this when the other Hermits describe Scar's behaviour, he always feared Scar was going to return to those instincts one day. And, when Scar's back from his several months of isolation, Cub has to pull him out of that survivor-TCD-mindset and back into happy, Hermitcraft Scar.

THE CARRIE DIARIES 2.09 ― "Under Pressure"

[crazypercheron]

Context/part 1 of this animatic lol

Weird how fanfic inspiration works 😅

Anyways, if you haven't read the remarkable HC x Firewatch fanfic "The Incandescent of a Dying Light" what are you folks waiting for? Go read it now! [And if you have, go read it again and cry some more-]

(@quaranmine hope you don't mind the tag because I thought this was silly-)

And here is the photo of the complete sketch I did without the movement

[finnlongman]

Hmm, so, how winsome and persuasive am I going to have to be at the TCD Library admissions desk given that they never sent the follow-up email about my reader registration that their auto-response said I would receive shortly? 🤔 Both manuscripts and microfilm are expecting me (I mean, the people who work with them, not the items themselves), so one would hope I don't need to be too silver-tongued, but perhaps I'd better take my university ID, my RIA reader pass, and my British Library pass just to prove that I really can be trusted with their special collections...
