Truncated dodecahedron

By cutting off the vertices of the dodecahedron you get the truncated dodecahedron.

This results in the 12 pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron turning into 12 dekagonal (10-gonal) and 20 triangular faces.

(As the dodecahedron has 20 vertices, truncation results in 20 triangular faces.)

I love X-Men Evo but this Charles Xavier was the worst Charles Xavier ever.

Kevin: If I’m gonna bring Sam here we need to babyproof the place.

Tron: ???

Kevin: You know, remove all the environmental dangers. Make it so he can’t hurt himself on anything.

Tron: Oh, I already did that.

Kevin: Wow, really? Thanks, dude! How’d you know?

Tron: You live here.

Kevin: You mean you…Kevin-proofed it? Ouch.

Dream SMP Season 2 idea:

Pandora's Vault exists, still. It is half sunk into the sea, very obviously an old ruin, and there's something - off, about the place.

It's not just a building any more, of course. It's old, filled with pain, haunted. Things this old have their own kind of intelligence, change and evolve into something else.

It's a dungeon now. Filled with monsters, traps, loot, a boss. Filled with things best left undisturbed, if you ask anyone wise.

c!Tommy, enthralled by the idea of loot, is not wise. c!Dream, enthralled by the idea of secrets, is also not wise.

c!Philza, a strange old man who lives alone and seems to know more than everyone else (not that he ever opens his mouth to talk about it), warns them away. They do not listen.

The dungeon is indeed dangerous; once they step in, the entranceway disappears behind them, trapping them inside. There are traps, chests of loot, and monsters - constant Mining Fatigue makes it impossible to carve their own path through, so they're forced to navigate the shifting hallways.

There are crawling black-purple vines and thorns everywhere, lingering remnants of red but that colour has been bled out of them, appropriated for another master. These vines get thicker the closer to the centre they get.

At some point, c!Dream loses c!Tommy in the criss-crossing and confusing platforms and walk ways - he can't quite recall when or how it happened, though.

The boss chamber is in the very centre of the Vault, and there he is, the spider in the middle of the web: huge and tall, oversized the way many bosses are (according to Philza), gold-trimmed netherite armour and a gleaming trident, he looks a bit like a creeper hybrid but if he ever was one that was long ago; he's something else now.

The boss is surrounded by black-purple vines, and they pierce through him, trailing from him as though he were struck through with a dozen harpoons. Like so many chains, they hold him here - he is as much the master of this dungeon as he is its captive. Total control, but only within, and he cannot leave.

He does not want to leave - this place is his. His prison, his home.

"So, you've come back to where you belong," the boss says.

"I've been waiting for you," the boss says.

"I knew you couldn't stay away forever," the boss says.

"You belong here," the boss says.

c!Dream would like it to be known that at this point he has quite had enough of this dungeon, is wishing he'd listened to Philza when he'd said to stay away, and that his whole body hurts as his flesh remembers what his mind has forgotten. The haunting is an open, unhealed wound.

"Hahhh, no, I'm leaving," c!Dream says, distracted, as he tries to figure out an optimal path over the lava lake, where he should leap on the deepslate and netherite rocks and platforms to make it to the door on the opposite side of the room. The boss, surely, will try to stop him, but c!Dream is fast and surefooted - he can dodge any attacks. He thinks.

"You will not escape," the boss vows, which c!Dream is very much not a fan of.

"You have no right to keep me here!" he says as he sets off running, leaping for the first stepping stone above the scorching lava and using his momentum to carry him to the next. He's got a long way to go.

This seems to utterly incense the boss, striking some deep nerve and causing the very walls to shake with his fury as he turns to try to snatch c!Dream.

"I am the Master of this Vault!" the boss roars. "I am the Warden."

The boss room is nothing but a huge cell, the vines of the boss' power spread so perfectly throughout the dungeon in turn chaining him there. Above, c!Dream can see c!Tommy hovering in the open entranceway he's aiming for, frozen with his crossbow out.

As he flies through the boss room and tries to reach the door, c!Dream shouts back the truth that he knows, welling up from somewhere deep inside that only his nightmares can touch:

"But you're not, you're the prisoner."

Truncations of the cube

This is what I have done with my spare shape drawings...

Depicted are different truncations of the cube - and the cube itself.

The polyhedra are (from left to right and from top to bottom)

- Cube

- Truncated cube (Cube's vertices get cut off to one third of each edge.)

- Cuboctahedron (Cube's vertices get cut off to a half of each edge.)

- Rhombicuboctahedron (Cuboctahedron's vertices get cut off to a half of each edge.)

Truncated Cuboctahedron (Cuboctahedron's vertices get cut off to a third of each edge.)

The Eros and Psyche thing really comes into play when you realize that after a brief time together living in complete happiness, Psyche betrays the trust of Eros, and he leaves her alone, and so painfully in love with him. She eventually turns to Aphrodite, who was angry about the union, for help and she gives her three tasks to prove her love. She is put through many trials, and finally the gods take pity and tell Eros what she has been put through to earn his trust again. Eros is so touched he forgives Psyche and they are finally happily together.

The Truncated Icosahedron rarely sits still, as it constantly kicks and dribbles its core around. Summoning success increases significantly on the days leading up to the World Cup.

happy pride

[diariodeumdesistente]

a vida na cidade é e cruel. é cinza a fumaça da poluição. não se pode ver o céu. e o clima geral é de solidão.

ônibus, pressa para andar, salário baixo e alienação. retirei-me para o campo, viver de pastorear e da plantação.

sem celular, sem computador, somente foice e trator. é duro o trabalho do campo, e mais dura ainda é a saudade do meu amor.

ao chegar na roça, encontrei-me perdido mas o velho posseiro me ajudou. me indicou uma gleba de terra fértil, e até a plantar ele me ensinou.

hoje planto café e crio cabras. há terra para todo mundo. um dia te trago para cá, e viveremos nosso amor tão profundo.

Retirada I
