Hey man can u not do that

[feliville]

WAIT ZAYD AND SANTIAGO STARTED OUT AS ZOMBIE AND STEVE???????? NO WAY......

YYEAH 🫡🫡 if I recall, I wanted to write more stuff to my personal lore/story about them, but the setting of Minecraft felt too restricting to me, and there was nothing in my story that I couldn't tweak if i took em out of minecraft.... SOOOO

☝🏽 uhhh here's one of my first "zombie when he was alive"/Zayd prototype drawings (I wish I had the very first one, I remember not saving it because I assumed I would end up scrapping the idea of ever having him as a human.. 😒)

And one of my last Steve drawings Before making him into an OC, I wanted to play dressup with him SO bad, but without The Colors, he's no longer recognizable as Minecraft Steve (thts one reason why I never posted this one drawing)

These r also basically the prototypes for Paulina, Candela and Azalea, (who used to be an enderman, a skeleton, and minecraft Alex, respectively).

Candela was the only one to keep her name from when she was a minecraft OC, btw.. Paulina was named Poppy as an enderman, and Zayd didnt have a name as a minecraft zombie.

I remember being Very unhappy/unsatisfied with them as minecraft ocs, but now tht they're completely separate from minecraft, its so much fun to write what theyre like and what they do etc (even if writing is so fucking difficult in general : -1)

the top one is from august 2024 ahcbdn.. almost a year apart. ((It really feels so blatant when comparing the two like this HBJNHNJ)

its insane how constantly thin ppl treat thinness as the pinnacle of beauty like how they cant compliment a fat person on smth as simple as their outfit without saying it makes them look thinner or saying they look like they lost weight or cant talk well abt their own bodies by talking abt how small or conventionally attractive they look and its like ok well can u at least try to respect fat ppl instead of saying u do and then not or at least leave weight out of complimenting ppls appearance jesus

goin on a mental health break for a lil bit

they make me want to rip chunks out of the wall with my teeth

It took me, ugh, MONTHS (2), to get to cleaning the two shrimp tanks I have... I had IRL issues going on that would have made it extremely difficult to do a water change especially while injured, and I just had to keep putting it off. It's just shrimp, so it wasn't like, the worst situation, especially since I have established plants and the tanks are a couple years old. There was just a lot of algae build-up on the glass, and, well... Let me just say it was not contributing to my mental health and well-being while the tanks were in that state.

I tested the water before I started cleaning and the parameters were fine (like, I could have left the tanks even longer if I would be okay with selling my soul to the Algae Collective), and the plants and shrimp look fine, too (I mean, I've obviously been keeping an eye on the tanks bc I sit right next to them). Actually, I'd wager to say that the plants are looking really great (the lilies haven't died off [yet? This is the longest period of time I've seen them stay... foliage... fol... foliated? Idk.] and the cryptocoryne in the 10gal is fucking huge and needs to be rearranged, just not right now). That fucking algae was a motherfucker to get off the 10gal (it's a plastic tank and I think that makes the algae grip harder than the glass 5gal).

[Also, fyi, depending on the tank's needs and stability, recommended water changes are a small one every week or every other week. My parameters don't seem to do anything dramatic, so I usually aim for a 20-30% water change every third week (just depends on how much vacuuming needs to be done and how cooperative the shrimp are with moving aside). So 2 months is still a lot. I still did the normal 30% ish amount, since doing more will risk the shrimp's well-being if there's a sudden change in everything, and my water parameters indicated a change was unnecessary - but I don't test for more than the minimum freshwater tests, so there could be a buildup of some mineral I'm not testing for, which is why the change IS actually necessary regardless of what my test kit says - because these tanks were evaporating a lot in summer, it condenses the minerals added with each water addition, even tho I usually top up with R.O. water.]

My back is fucking killing me lol. It has been killing me since spring when it 'went out' for the first time, and I'm not getting any relief, it sucks. But this had to be done.

The 5gal is looking pretty cloudy still, since the filter was super gunked up and I accidentally spilled gunk back in, so I may need to retest the 5gal parameters tomorrow just to make sure I don't have to do another water change, but it'll probably be fine, right? Shrimp love mulm and detritus. I did give both tanks a big ole algae tab for their trouble, tho. (I need a fuckening dish for the big tank. I really wanna clean off that white quartz rock again, but being white means it's an algae magnet, and it's just gonna go green again after a month or two.)

Anyway, shrimp tax:

I lov thees widdle oange bebies.

Wish I could take better pictures rn, but I am. Like. Dying. My recommendation: never live in an A-frame style room if you have the option. The wall above my tanks is slanted, and NOT fun for my back to bend underneath the wall for maintenance. (My only flat wall in the room is for my TV/PC.) Also, treat your back nicely, in general. I unfortunately have not had the option to treat my back nicely since spring (fall now), because 'when it rains it pours,' and heavy shit that needs to be moved will not move itself. Once I get a few more things in my room in order, I will hopefully be done with the IRL chaos, bc I have Halloween socks to knit, and I'm not putting that off for another year. (I'm still mad that I couldn't make the ones I planned last year. And I found more Halloween yarn I forgot I bought, so I'm gonna try to make multiple socks.) And I just really need to fucking chill and knit and stop having panic attacks and meltdowns.
