[theinfinitedivides]

You have inspired me to start making reading comprehension questions for a server’s political memes channel. Do you have any tips to make good questions, or pitfalls to avoid?

I did want to answer this ask but I waited a bit until I had more actual posts queued before doing so

When I'm doing my gimmick, the first question I ask myself is, "taken completely literally at face value, what is this post saying?" Then, I ask, "what does this post actually mean?" or, alternatively, "what was the reason that this post was made?"

Of course that is not necessarily the best way to do it or the only valid way, it's just the easiest way for me to start breaking a post apart.

I also try to lead a hypothetical person who is reading my questions to try and think about things in a way that would help them understand the post. For instance, on the nsfw snow post I tried to direct my hypothetical answerer into understanding that the one image that was removed was probably due to copyright issues with the photographer as opposed to some algorithm gone awry that thought the snow was porn, which can be verified by checking the notes of the post.

Alright I love love love Skizz but why did people for FALSE & Skizz instead of False & H???? What???

It is because False gets overlooked even in a False centric poll. This is a pattern. Also sorry for using your ask as a vent post lol.

I love Skizz and his energy, I think he's awesome with people, he is certainly good at the whole "duo thing" buuuut this is not a Skizz duo poll. Or even a Hermitcraft duo poll. It is a False duo poll. I think people voted for Skizz because of Skizz, not False, or even Skizz-False. Like yeah it was funny when Skizz held False hostage in the charity event. But are people voting for moments like that or do they just like Skizz in general?

This was also what I was trying to see with the False MCC poll— 17 is of course iconic as a whole, and especially for Grian, and I would definitely rank it very high in a Hermit MCC poll (possibly right behind Blue9, sorry Orange10). But False had better performances in 29 and 10, and 9 had better chemistry than 17 because she didn't really get spoken over in 9. Or 10 and 29. (Whereas in 17 it was a Thing enough for Pete to mention it afterwards apparently.) 17 has cool False moments of course— SG the one I remember the most— but people don't really bring that up. So did people vote for 17 in a False centric poll because they liked False's performance in 17 and overall team chemistry (things related to and influenced by False) or because they like 17 in general?

It is not that deep but also seeing False's diminishing relevance in the mainstream HC fandom over the years is kinda... disappointing. Someone who's never watched a hermit on MCCReddit will mention False Supremacy. HBomb's chat loves False. Like I don't even know what happened?? False has been posting regularly, always have, she does her builds and collabs and pranks and infrastructure, she won the first event of the season, outsiders love her, and...? Like don't we love our slay cool #girlboss queen of hearts? Or does she need a different fanon archetype now? The mischievous prankster? The silly wet cat? The healer type who loves animals and gives them stupid names? The competitive warrior? Would you still love me when I'm no longer the designated girlboss of the group or whatever

Like ok yeah this is me being bitchy and a gatekeeper and False isn't even the most underrated hermit and she gets her share of love in fanart and stuff but yeah I've noticed the decline. You've got Redditors mentioning Empires people in the crossover in response to someone asking about Empires but not mentioning one hermit who was actually also in Empires. You've got people talking about "Hermitgals" but they replace False and Stress with Lizzie. You've got the fallout of Demise 2. You've got Redditors talking about Rendoc in relation to Ren like his only relevance is being Doc's friend/collab buddy when False exists and she's his favourite hermit. And you've got the False duo poll. Won't even go into the view counts/ sub counts because that's depressing for what feels like at least a third of the hermits (Cubfan you deserve way more). Doesn't feel good.

Back in 2020/21 she got shat on and her achievements ignored by some DSMP fans and now the same thing is happening but it's worse because it's from some HC fans. The call is coming from inside the house. And once again False isn't even the most overlooked hermit. For example Iskall STILL gets horrific hate comments about how he doesn't "deserve" to be a hermit because he plays VH more.

Hermitcraft is popular. I wish the other third of it is more popular.

Ignore if you don’t want to read about me being stupid once again

Here is your daily reminder that it should make you angry that a population that is more than half children are starving without access to clean water or adequate medical care and your feelings on their government *that they haven't gotten to vote on for almost 2 decades* should not stop that from making you angry. You should be calling for a ceasefire and you should be calling for the reopening of the border crossings for international humanitarian aid

imagine never being wanted, losing your brother which breaks your father and your family never really functioning normally let alone being a loving one and so you flee them to join the war and on a drunken evening you see a pretty girl and you decide to get on a random streetcar just to chat her up and she invites you to her home and her parents who already lost a son but they are the most welcoming and warmest parent figures you have ever met and they want you to spend the night and make that house your home and you do and as a thank you help around the house and probably for the first time ever you feel like you are part of a loving family then a terrible news shakes the family but you are close enough to them already that it's just second nature to console the mother who says my husband always wanted a son like you and then days later the girl says please never come back here because i'm too afraid of losing you and my parents lost too much already so you leave. you go back to war. you leave the only loving family you have ever known back in australia and you can never go back because you dying is just too big of a risk.

I’m replaying act 1 (for the fifth time) and when Gale is explaining his condition to you he mentions he’s “never told another living soul” about it, except for Tara. You’re telling me this man shut himself up in his tower for an entire year and didn’t tell anyone why and no one ever bothered to find out? He has so few people who care about him in his life that he fell into a depression and disappeared for a year and NO ONE thought to go and check on him and find out what was wrong? He’s had no one but Tara providing help and support until he meets Tav???????

✨Inspiration Saturday✨

Welcome to me once again collecting tags through the week and doing them all in one tag game, thanks to everyone who keeps tagging me all thing through the week, I love seeing what y’all are cooking up! Here’s a moodboard and snippet of something I'm currently calling the Hire to Kill Au:

Tagged through the week by: @jesuisici33 @spotsandsocks @heartbeatdiaz @rogerzsteven @prince-buck-diaz @panbuckley @honestlydarkprincess @buddierights @the-likesofus @hippolotamus @shortsighted-owl @ebdaydreamer @bekkachaos @cowboydiazes

Snippet:

He had designed his life to be devoid and empty of things that made him feel anything, afraid that once that he gave in into it, it was going to destroy him and crumble the image of himself he had worked hard for years to maintain. Maddie sometimes looked at him and her eyes filled with sadness, wiping away tears that she thought Buck hadn’t seen, probably mourning the bright and loud child he had once been.

That Buck wasn’t dead, he was just buried so deep inside this new Buck that he wasn’t sure he was ever going to see the light of day again. Maybe if he ever got out of this business, but Buck didn’t like to busy himself with these kinds of hypotheticals.

He was a killer, truth be told, he was probably going to die on the field, with a knife strapped to his calves and another in his thigh, and a gun in his hand, covered in blood.

He had gotten a ping earlier in the day letting him know that there was a new target waiting for him already, so after he was done with his workout, he ordered in some food, took a shower and then went down to the lobby of his building to pick up his food and his mail, making sure the “amazon” envelop was secured under his arm and then made his way up the stairs again, sitting down on his couch once he was back and opening the parcel.

EDMUNDO “EDDIE” DIAZ. Was the name printed on top of the folder, it would be the last name Buck ever read on a folder like this, it would be the name that would change the course of his life, but Buck didn’t exactly know that yet, for now all that he knew was that Eddie was a widower, he used to be an army medic - honorably discharged with a silver star, which was impressive - and he currently was a firefighter living in L.A.

Buck frowned, he had never gotten a local job before, and while he wouldn’t complain about cutting down on his travel time, he felt weird about it. He felt even more confused when he saw his timeframe, three months. Buck had never been given so much time before to complete a mission.

Something wasn’t sitting right with him. Whoever this Eddie dude was, there was something different about this assignment.

Tagging if they wanna share anything at all @brokenribsdiaz @loveyourownsmiilee @cowboy-buddie @gentoodiaz @alyxmastershipper @heartshapedvows @satashiiwrites @mysteriouslyyounggalaxy @exhuastedpigeon and whoever else wants to do this!
