Can you explain a little more about the impact the hermit charity fundraiser had on the operating budget?
i was going to go back and find my discord messages about it from the time, but i have a far more reliable source available - the gamers outreach press release/blog about their annual report. (and, for posterity's sake, the actual tax audited annual report itself for 2022 is linked in that same blog, it's just a pdf download, which is why i'm not linking it here.)
there are a lot of things to be said about it, but honestly, this paragraph i think says everything:
for context, the hermitcraft charity stream raised $439,599. if they raised $4.2 million that year, that means that we raised a full 10% of the money they raised that year.
elsewhere in the article they mention directly ways that the hermitcraft charity stream made an impact on their 2023 plan, how they handled the go karts, and other ways things changed because of the fact that they had that much more money than they'd had the year before.
which is still kind of insane to think about, really, but i cannot express enough: we made an impact on the operating budget of this charity, and their ability to actually deliver their promise of go karts to children in hospitals around the us.
which is pretty wild, right?
i'm excited we're doing it again this year. lets see if we can give them 10% more moneys again, yeah?

How have I longed for love, from the fire of the Sun to the hands of a false lover, from the stars and the bright Moonlight to my own lustful touch...
huge fan of the whole "Gabriel worships V1 as a deity" ship dynamic so uh yeah finally made something with it (albeit a sketch only)

6 months post op for top surgery today <3 never been more in love with my body. I love being a transgender. I love being a faggot. I love being a puppy dog. I love being a freak. I love you t4t tumblr
I was really lucky and went to a high school where a good majority of my peers were queer and trans. I knew after I graduated I would struggle to find another community like that, and it certainly was true. In uni and all the jobs I’ve worked at, Ive been the only trans person and man, I forgot what it was like to have other trans people around me where I don’t have to educate or explain myself. Being on here is like a breath of fresh (& horny) air. I can be me. I can bark all I want. Thank you all for that.
Trans people are beautiful and magical and strong. We are resilient. All the days I spent in pain and hiding my body has been beyond worth the love I have for myself now. I am so grateful I survived it

i think about overblotters having like permanent markings or physical side effects from their overblot a lot. a constant reminder of their worst, most emotionally distraught moment of weakness that never leaves them. bonus points if physical side effects that are left over from overblot kick in whenever they're faced with something that even Vaguely reminds them of their overblot so they have that moment of panic of "is it happening to me again". good shit. so fucking good.

Katara should’ve kept her scars from Aang just so there could be more moments of Katara and Aang working together so Aang could become more confident in his firebending
And Aang kissing the palm of her hand during the invasion
And Aang having to regain Sokka’s trust after what happened
And Katara and Aang laying in bed as adults tracing eachother’s scars
