I feel like my view on the world and myself has been so tainted from since I was young. I'm struggling and I wanna start over but idk how. I wannwanna be a completely different person. Life now feels like someone's description of a painful past. I wanna get out but I have a fear of being trapped here and not knowing like my limiting and toxic beliefs are stopping and I'd never know and end up spending all my time here. I really don't want that, it's my biggest fear. Can you give me advice pls?

hey babe <3

i jus wanna let you know all of your feelings are valid and thank you for being open w me. from what i can tell, you have a fear of failing and staying in the same position. i wanna address this before i tell you what to do. all fear is, is a false construct of reality. because you can choose your own reality, you can either choose to make a rule that fear doesn’t effect you at all (bc it can’t, you will always win) or manifest a life without being fearful. here is a pic abt this topic from r/Neville Goddard that goes into this in loa terms:

(and btw you don’t need to be happy to manifest what you want) my second point is, forgive yourself for the things that have happened in your past. you were always trying your best with what you had, there’s nothing wrong with that. stop judging yourself, catch yourself if you ruminate about your past and cut yourself off. not because you can’t think about it, but bc you deserve to live in the present moment, for your own peace. from there, you can decide whether or not you want to revise the situation to always having your dream life or you can just choose to accept it and move on. i know it may feel hard to move on now but you can make all of this much easier on yourself by setting the intention for life to be easier. also, you can never be stuck because we’re all just observing states of consciousness. we’re always moving through the motions; there’s a really good edward art video that explains this exact situation too. (i highly recommend watching, this totally changed my mindset towards my anxiety.)

okay, onto my last point, how to change your self concept and life. i actually wanna make a whole post on this but im just gonna tell you what i think you could do for your situation. you don’t have to do all of these things but just choose what works best for you c: so where i would start is with addressing self concept/ mental health. catch up with yourself, do some self care and take it slow. ask yourself what you want in life, maybe get a mental picture of what you would like to become as a person. if you don’t know what you want in life, note the things you enjoy everyday and it will come naturally. (or you can always manifest finding out what your desired life is) every moment is a new moment, you have a blank slate every passing second to choose who you want to be. so, start imagining yourself as the person you want to become. nothing is stopping you from being that person now. you don’t have to feel like it right now, you only have to intend/ think it. the rest will follow. any thoughts that say the opposite are completely invalid because now you know that only you can choose what you are. (no thoughts have power until you say they do!) so, onto the manifesting a new life part. first, pick which way you want to manifest. you can use subs, affirmations, knowing/ intention, scripting, void, etc. the techniques don’t matter, your intent and beliefs do. and then just stay consistent to it, don’t give up on your dream life because you deserve the best. that’s literally it! and i would always recommend to simplify it, make it as fun as possible, and make your own rules :D good luck anon, you got this!!

Soo I was planning to make a survey online (measuring type) and then make a presentation about its flaws and inaccuracy and stuffs but I’m too lazy for that so I’m just gon post it here hehe

Warnihn: unclear explanation might possibly gave you brain damage sorry I wrote this in my note at 2am

• Create a survey simulation and point out its flaws

Humans love to find oppositness and contratory, or parralelity, all of what could be deemed “ironic”(cant find the word), people are so obsess with the idea of that that they no longer believe in coincidence, which is literally what create up of the universe. In creation there are no irony, nor fate. The universe is literally born from science, matter and chain reaction, what created is created, and there is no “why”, therefor there doesnt exist order (trật tự) either. And that is what human are so desperately looking for, in this fucking vast ass cosmo of chaos, they seeks for order so that they can exist, as order is what kept us in check, but the universe has never been such, and will never be, there is no “fate”, “irony”, “symbolism” in sience and matter after all. The world can’t just be reduce to simple black and white and contradiction of each other, no matter how aesthetic it might seems. Like, human have simplify far too many things.

How is this related to the survey? Idk man

They created a bar for measurement of their own personal prejudice or whatever the shit it call. for example, being told “rate my dog on a scale of one to ten”, and that is far too simplified. A survey will never be good with this kind of judgement system, its too orderly and tidy

First of all, you cant use mere number to explain human’s thought. The brain is far too superior for mere number. Number is an invented concept create by human for the counting and measurement of things, but this can only be use on agonizingly surface aspect of the world, such as for counting the amount of apples or some shit, but unluckly(?), human’s opinion isn’t in that “surface” range. Its more complex and nuance i guess.

Secondly, number seven could mean more to this person and less to the others, they might percieve “5” as the average or “8” as the average, according to some people pleaser, when the “average 5” is already been percieve as low nowaday. I mean, would you rate a chick 5 and they would not be mad? Even when it is average, no one want to be, that’s why the new average has always been on the higher side of the scale. Talk about yapping, an actual intellect person would be able to yap all this while being much more concise and understandable, I’m not one tho so. Anyway, being simply told to just “rate” my dog isn’t clear enough. The world and human’s way of perceiving anything doesn’t oftenly get reduced to only one word “rate”, more boardly, the english language is always a lot more simple and less complex than other, but on the whole though language overall (not just english) just doesn’t meet the standard of portraying what human mean and think, what was i talking aboti? Right, you moght have seen that most words that writer, philosopher tend to use are difficult, vauge words that are up to human interpretation, because “simple is the best”, and “simple” is anything but human’s mind. But we don’t like to read a whole lots of word, that’s why people use vague word, even when the best way to describe it is through a thousand of actual words. In this case, human have reduce to such state that they expect the other to understand and fits their scale of thinking with not even a vague words but a fucking shame of english, an actual simple word, like “rate”. You know what im saying? Fuck this make a lot more sense while a lot more shorter in my head, but to put it to words AND make people understand i just have to do it like that sorry. So when you say “rate my dog”, it isn’t specific enough, it could mean rate the dogs fur softness or its beauty or cuteness compare to THEIR dog. The things that the rater use to compare the dog with also matter a lot actually. In fact, it is the most important factor one could have when rating something or setting the standard to something, think, you wouldn’t have care or know about beauty standard if you were the only human on earth werent you? In fact, human society are solely base on comparison of between things, so when you say “rate my dog”, you gotta be more specific.

This is just one very specific part of the whole surveying industry that can’t possibly represent the rest of the part.

Human are a very denpendant on one another, they are extremly easy to change their mind according to whatever the popular choice is alright, no matter how independent and invidualistic they might say they are, just use tiktok and youll know. The way you words your question and the implication or the pressure you are having on the rater may aswell heavily alternate the result you should had have originally, that’s why Oxford’s experiment are so undirect and creative instead of pure survey. For example, if you ask

Actually I can’t think of an example for this one, but you got the idea. Also, most likely the highest result in the question “rate my dog from 1-10” will be 9 to 10, because of how silly, simple the question is, and also everyone loves dog as a whole. But if you replace the question with a more subjective one (what is subjective??), like “rate my outfit” or “rate this dog breed specifically” the most chooser number will likely decreased to 7, or more unlikely 8 or 6. Still, people wouldn’t just chose on the lower part of the scale that easy. Research literally show that ppl would most often chose number seven if asked to rate out of a 10 scale, so perhaps remove that to get a more direct idea of what the person thought, or not, as they can chose that number fr, so the best choice is just not to use survey if you want to do some kind of experiments.

A really long overanlysis of minecraft servers.

This will be my only warning, this shit is really long.

I promised this to @ivi-prism 2 weeks ago (hi, i am Svetla) but university said no and then i feel my notes were incomplete so i have to do more research.

So let's talk about anarchism and capitalism. As a future political scientist, really bugs me how the fandom and some content creators (im looking at you techno) misinterpret both theories.

Yeah this will be a overanalysis about the political, social and economic system of two minecraft servers. Why? Cause i like analysis things like this and finally i can solved what is the system of hermitcraft and thats make me happy.

Things to consider:

First im not native english speaker and im lazy so im not often write or talk in english so my typos can make Doc really proud.

Second i don't watch Dsmp i only know things about the server by the animatics, the constant information wich pop up here on tumblr, the crossover fanfics and the tiny vods that youtube insist play when i have activate automatic reproduction.

Third i tried to simplified this much as i can because this analysis i maded talking with my friends (also political scientists) and a former professor, so it got quite technical while i was writing it.

And finally don't take this seriously, I'm not trying to insult anyone, I only started this because the hermitfandom started saying that hermitcraft was capitalist and then everyone started comparing the Dsmp with hermitcraft saying anarchism vs capitalism, that's why the dsmp entered into this analysis.

Guys, seriously chaos isn't anarchism and "sucefully economic" isn't capitalism, even paid with "money" (diamonds in this case) isnt necessary capitalism.

First, mini glossary:

I understand a server like a Society/State (country) with Mr Weber definition. In really vague words a State is anyone that has a territory and has legal control of violence (the laws, no the abuse of authority).

I understand the private property as the hermits bases and/or shops (i suppose only base in dsmp? Idk)

I understand the mass production as the farms and resources.

Capitalism is a economic, politic and social theory, wich it considers private property essential and tends to monopolize the resources 'cause this it also considered private property.

Anarchy means "without government" it has its origin in the Ancient Greece. And Anarchism theory is just a society free from any political authority, but respecting the liberties of the others.

A Failed State is which one lose control of the legal violence, and can't provide the peace, essential human rights and the basics for a normal lifestyle to its people.

I think thats all the bored shit (i hope so). Now the interesting shit.

Why hermitcraft isnt capitalist?

Short answer, their idea of private property is not the same as capitalism has.

Long answer, even if they have their own stuff, they had a really strong sense of community and dont really care if someone take things from them.

We can see this in the beginning of season when Iskall take some mini blocks from Etho and he didn't really care (yeah, iskall "paid" him, but later i will explain this) or the multiple times Grian "borrow" things from Iskall and Mumbo in season 6 or Scar in season 7, the team ZIT constantly take things from each other and i can go on and on with examples, but the point here is this couldn't happen if they had a capitalist society because this would break the "private" part of private property and mass production.

Basically their friendship made so strong their sense of community that they are basically inmune to capitalism, Uncle Marx would be proud of them (not really, but would be funny). So they are communist? Nope, communist don't believe in private property and the hermits does.

But you just said-? I said they dont has the SAME idea of private property as capitalism does. They still have their bases, farms and shops, but for them their private property isnt sacred like in a capitalism system would be.

They're respect each other things because they appreciated the effort and values the time the person puts on their buildings and not only because doesn't belongs to them (and obviously cause theyre frends, but shush, this is a overanalysis, the obvious things doesn't have place here) i mean even for the shenanigans they are really polite and try to cause the least damage possible not because is not of them but because they valued the person.

Basically the famous honor code of hermitcraft.

What about the economic system and the shopping district?

Lets talk about the elephant in the room.

If Hermitcraft isnt a capitalist system, why they have a economic system based in diamonds?

Well, despite the exchange based in money for resources or services is a principal characteristic of capitalism, it isnt exclusive of that theory.

The money is a social consensus, cause barter has becomes obsolete and gold isnt cheap or infinite to use as payment. And basically, this is why we use money on this days (if you want to know the history of money ask to your trusted historian or Wikipedia).

What does this remind us? Yep, diamonds and iou's are a consensus too. When the 1.16 came out some hermits tried to change to netherite as payment and didn't suit, so they ignored it and continued with their current payment system.

And as much as Mr Smith likes to say that this is how the free market (and his stupid invisible hand) works, capitalism needs the monopoly of resources and people who works to pay for those resources.

But in Hermitcraft nobody really controlled the resources, anyone can go and collect their materials or made a farm. They just decided don't do it and go and buy it, because they save the time to go and collect for themselves, in other words they paid for the time.

Various hermits say they saved so much time go and buy the materials instead to collect themself or trade with the villagers (cause theyre the worst and all of us know it) thats why the barge and lookie lookie at my bookie are so profitable.

The shopping district it wasn't a thing before season 4, i dont really sure how it worked before, because i started watch in season six and sadly i have a boring adult life to saw the old seasons, but i assume it works in the same way that the trades the hermits does between them to accord a discount or a collab, and speak directly with the interested hermit or directly take it and pays what's considered it was fair, like iskall did with etho.

Like i said all what's happen in hermitcraft is a consensus, even the shopping district.

So yeah, that isnt a thing that would happen in a capitalism system, probably you would be dead, because "how are you dare to entered to my property", or in the jail, "because thats not yours".

So, what is hermitcraft?

For the surprise from much of you, Hermitcraft has an anarchist system.

What?! But their server is so peaceful, they don't steal from each other, they doesn't griefing, hows that possible?!

Well, the anarchism isn't really a violent political theory, at least in its beginning, actually anarchism is one of the most peaceful theories i studied, thats why i dont really thing it will worked in our society, but work in a server of 24 friends. Its too idealist.

I don't really study all of the thoughts corrents of anarchism because they are a lot. But the one we are interested is one of original thought corrent, The Mutualism, this in contrast with their cousin Communism doesn't believes the private property was something bad and considered like one of the rights from the individual, but different as capitalism because like i said before it wasn't sacred and communal things will exist to help others to start or recover.

Proudhon, one of it intellectuals, considered not paid for the work of the other it was a form to violate their liberties and feel horrofied with Marx when he said we have to abolish the private property.

The mutualists believes that each person should possess a means of production, either individually or collectively, and the products obtained would be trade in the market for the amount equivalent of their work.

This sound familiar, isnt it? Hermitcraft works in this way.

The thing with anarchism is they don't believes in a government over the people. And the hermits doesn't have one, yeah there's Scar being the mayor, but he isnt have a power over the rest and only is in charge of the "cowmercial district" even aquatown isn't part of his jurisdiction, his function is more of organization, like when we put a friend in charge to organizing part of a roadtrip.

It's the same with Xisuma figure, we all put him in a position of the admin of hermitcraft, but the truth is he isnt the only one with admin commands (but apparently some or all of them losed their admin status, at least in one of the last tango's streams, he hasnt it anymore) and various hermits said that he is more like an ambassador of them in the legal things of the server.

The hermits take all of they decisions in group and in the majority of things all of them needs to be agreed with the decision or they simple doesn't do it. And this is a characteristic of the mutualism because for them anyone are over the other.

And if you aren't already bored at this point and you put attention to what i wrote of the concept of private property in the mutualism, you would see it is practically the way hermitcraft works. They make their bases and farms, recolect resources and sell what they don't will use, buy mostly to save time and paid for the price what they considered fair. Yeah i know sometimes they do some farm specifically for one shop, but this is more "yeah, this is my thing" (Tango and Iron; Ren and wood) or a division of activities "if you do that, i do this".

The perfect utopia.

What about the Dsmp?

If you do it to here, congratulations.

So what about the Dsmp, i entered here because i want to read of them and the only thing i read was about hermitcraft.

Well, the Dsmp only entered in the equation because much of you said they were an anarchist server, but i see it more like a "failed state" and when i was talked with an exprofessor he agreed with me.

I know the term of failed state is controversial and is almost obsolete, but is the best way to describe the server and stop said it is anarchist.

So why failed state and not an anarchist state? Because they have a government (or apparently multiples) a failed one, but is there, if it were an anarchist server wouldn't have one.

Usually the failed states are known for being violent and volatile places in which ones their governments can't provides the basics to their people to live, normally are places with ethnics conflicts, civil wars, authoritarian governments or states in wars. The most common examples are Haití, Somalia or Syria.

And i am sure you can see the similarities with the Dsmp, so yeah, theyre chaotic but not anarchist.

The wars ruined the stability from the server, have a multiple sides and a megalomaniac for admin, but the goverment still there and they are fighting for the power wich wouldn't happen if the server were anarchist because anarchism don't believe the power should be possess for someone.

The server simply is failed state wich struggles under a violent fight for power.

--------------------------------------------------

If you read this far, you're a hero and had my gratitude for read my useless thoughts. Maybe some day i do it other overanalysis of this servers. I hope you enjoyed and dont confused so much.

Thanks for read.

And if there are some angry economist with me for "misrepresent" the capitalist i am completely open to a debate, my only condition is it would be in chilean spanish ;)

[marshmallowprotection]

A shit ton has happened since i last showed yousome of my art

So uh

Im working on a comic now

Dont get too excited pls because i might end up dropping it because of how much work and effort has to be put into it and my motivation and attention span is fucking shit

But

Heres some wips associated with the comic

And two finished arts associated with the comic

And an art of my OC Nova whose not in anyway associated with the comic, and a art i had made of my 8 OCs for my friend Bri's birthday because the said 8 OCs are what brought us together and became friends and stuffs

For the birthday art i simplified my shading methods because if i went and used my normal shading methods it'd take even longer than what it took already (7 hours i believe)

So ye

Oh and have two concept arts, hich im still working on and stuff, for the comic's main duo

And just to make clear; the comic is a Drakengard 3 related one, NOT an original work. It takes place in Roseverse, aka an alternate universe of Drakengard 3 where 8 women exist and get caught up in the string of events related to the Intoners and then everyone dies and gets reincarnated and has to deal with their memories of all the bullshit that happened! This comic is about the origins of Amaya and Zero (who used to be called Rose before changing her name to Zero after she became an Intoner) and their shared past.

SO YEAH! Oof

What have i gotten myself into...idk but imma try to stay motivated for this godforsaken comic because i have a feeling its gonna be painful in that im gonna cringe at how much i struggle to draw fucking hands and men whenever men come up bdvjdmschjgmodhsjsiemeo

Ok thats enough rambling oof

It's a really tough endeavor but if you feel like it's something that's going to make you happy in the long run, I'd say do it. Even if you don't finish or keep going, you'll have learned something and got a new skill that you didn't have before. There's always a reason to try things no matter how they turn out, so be proud of yourself for trying something new and starting this process!

I think it looks really good so far and you've got a lot of work here that is going to get better the more that you practice. The more that you draw and create, the better that you're going to get in the long run. Be proud of that.
