A continuation on my transmasc postpartum Sanji thoughts, this version had top surgery at some point in his life.

When Sanji got pregnant, one of the unfortunate prenatal questions his amazing Dr. Chopper asked was “do you plan on chest feeding?” For someone else with less trauma around being fed and their body, this question wouldn’t be awful. But for Sanji? This question hits him like the sea train hit Franky. It rips him up. His thoughts spiral.

Can I even do that? Do I still have those… organs or whatever the fuck? What if my baby can’t eat because of me fuck shit I didn’t think it through enough I wanted to look a certain way holy shit I can’t believe I was so selfish I can’t -

It’s not hard for Zoro or Chopper to see Sanji spiraling. Honestly, Chopper expected some dysphoria but he didn’t think this would be the moment. Zoro has to gently pull Sanjis hands from his hair. After some uncomfortable moments of calming down, Sanji shares his concerns. Chopper doesn’t lie, doesn’t sugar coat it. It’s possible he can still chest feed which is why he asked if that was something he wanted or planned to do. It’s possible there won’t be enough milk, they can’t really be certain ahead of time, so it would be smart to think through alternatives.

So they make a plan. Sanji tirelessly researches safe breast milk alternatives, with Robin and Choppers help. Goats milk? Cows milk? There was one book that suggested donkey milk but where would they even find that? One island in the new world feeds infants a mixture of wine and honey but Chopper is adamant that, while he respects and learns from different cultural medical care, this is not one that should be practiced.

And when the baby comes, they miraculously latch and Sanji thinks maybe it’ll be ok maybe he’ll make enough maybe he’s capable. And then it’s every 2-3 hour feeding, regaining birth weight, nursing and then having some goatsmilk while held in a chest feeding position. This goes on for weeks? Maybe? Sanji can’t tell, he’s waking up every 2 hours. Zoro offers every night to feed the baby so Sanji can get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep but Sanji can’t accept that help. What is he good for if not this? His job is to feed his crew and his child. If he can’t do that what’s the fucking point?

When the baby finally gets back their birthweight and starts sleeping for longer stretches, Sanji allows himself to rest. Chopper is constantly bringing him electrolyte drinks and protein packed foods; Nami has started forcing him to sit with her when she’s on deck sunbathing to get some sun on his skin and fresh air; Zoro is changing every diaper claiming that if “sanji deals with what goes in the baby all by himself, I can deal with what comes out.” Sanji kicks him softly in the shin for that.

Months pass and Sanji is depressed. He barely has the effort to shower let alone care for this baby. He thinks he hates this baby. He’s suffocating on intrusive thoughts. His thoughts scare him. He thinks about throwing the baby overboard. Dropping the baby down the stairs. Pouring coffee on the baby. Why can’t he stop thinking these things?

What kind of monster hates his own child? I swore I’d never be like them is this the beginning am I losing myself will zoro have to keep his promise he’ll be devestated I can’t believe I put this burden on him fuck I’m so useless I can’t even -

Zoro, Chopper, and Nami hold what some might call an intervention. They know he’s struggling with post partum depression and they think maybe if he stops chest feeding that will help. They tip toe around it until Zoro finally says it aloud. He’s never yelled at a woman before but he screams at all of them, Nami included. He yells. He cries. How dare they tell him what to do with his body! They don’t fucking get it! The only time he feels connected to that baby is when he’s nursing. It’s the only time he looks down and feels actually connected, actually useful, actually wanted by this child.

He doesn’t stop chest feeding. He gets worse. Around month 7, the baby starts gnawing on his nipples. It fucking hurts but he’ll get through it. He’s dreading when he’ll need to start weening. What if they don’t ween until the baby’s 2 yrs old? Will he even live that long? He doesn’t share those thoughts, he knows they would scare his crew.

He’s getting treatment for his post partum, he’s doing his best to get better when he has the energy to but it’s so hard.

And then one day, the baby won’t nurse. They’re distracted, they’re full, they’ve started eating soft solid foods and purées recently. Sanji breaks down crying, sobbing because if he can’t do this one thing what’s he good for?

Surprisingly, or maybe not, it’s Luffy who is able to calm him down. He’s so straight forward, everything is an adventure or a battle to win.

“Sanjis the best cook in the world! You did such a good job feeding all of us, especially the baby! You did it! That baby is strong and big and chunky with the fattest cheeks like when I’m eating a lot of food and shi shi shi they’ve got those thigh rolls and Robin says that means the baby is healthy and I think I saw them eyeing my turkey leg oh my gosh that was so good can you maybe more? Please please please please”

Sanji sits there repeating the words in his head, over and over he thinks I did it. Yeah. I did do it. I did it. I did it. I did good.

You. Don't. Fucking. Get it. Do you? Nintendo had one of their star mascots in a perfectly healthy and loving relationship and they fucked it all up. When you play Donkey Kong Country 1 (which has aged like MILK, BTW) and go to Candy's Save point he looks at her in a way like no one else on the island. DK had his little buddy, he had his friends, he had his perfect girl, everything was perfect. Nintendo actually respected Rare's legacy after they left by using her in games like DK Jungle Climber. But no, Retro Studios just had to fuck it all up and not only remove her from the games but retcon EVERYTHING before that, so every other DK game before Returns might as well not exist. And the resulting fallout is that she isn't in any new games, the theme park, the Mario Movie, any promotional renders, nothing. DK and Candy had the perfect relationship and they took it all away. They have robbed Donkey of his happiness.

Snippet from my finished ao3 steddie fic Oh, Lady Moon, where Eddie is a bitter herbalist who hates the moon and then he finds Steve (I'm sure you can guess what he is) and nurses him back to health,

He mixes the milk with some turmeric, drinks it like he’s a dying man, and then makes some more for the man in his cot. With a care Eddie is unused to doling out, he drips the golden milk into the man’s mouth.

He tries not to let himself feel a certain way about that.

The man has a crooked nose, Eddie studies it the way he might study a plant he has never seen in the woods. Once, in a moment of weakness, Eddie lets his fingers trace the ridge of it, as if he could note its similarities and differences from his own. It’s more pointed than Eddie’s, stronger. His eyelashes are so long and dark he can only compare them to the way that lady companions in the city put kohl and lambs fat on their eyelashes to elongate them. He makes cute sleep noises, Eddie idly muses, little sniffles and grunts. Wayne was entirely silent as he slept, and Eddie had of course never heard himself sleep. It’s a new experience. Eddie has never taken much care of someone before. Wayne dabbled in medicine, Eddie sold oils, but he never helped apply them, never saw the effects, only heard of them. He didn’t expect to have a first patient, he definitely didn’t expect to take it this seriously. It becomes his sole focus.

He talks to the man as though they are friendly, though Eddie can't remember the last time he had a friend, tells him about his mother and the new paste he was working on. He explains his theory that Wayne is some secret veteran or a spy from the King, though he makes the unconscious man swear to secrecy on that one.

He can feel the man’s presence even when he is not looking at him, even when he is outside brushing his donkey or collecting eggs.

Night comes and Wayne goes to bed early after feeding the man broth, though Eddie knows Wayne put more damned moon water in the man’s bowl. Eddie grumbles about it and sits on a stool in the corner, eats his fill of bread and soup, sucks the leftover bones of their marrow. He puts his hand on the man’s chest and falls into a fitful slumber for a few hours, overly determined to make sure he makes it through the night.

Despite the morning’s heat, outside the fog is so thick he cannot see the sky.

So, I live in Aix-en-Provence. Since two months, my city was labelled "Ville Impériale" ("Imperial city") which means that important stuff happened here during the Consulate and the Empire and it left some historical and architectural heritage (I will make several posts about them all). And today I will be talking about a mansion and a castle that used to be occupied by princess Pauline Borghèse and Joseph Fouché (not at the same time obviously, that would have been insane lol).

First, the Hôtel de Forbin.

Pauline lived here for some time in 1807 because she fell in love with Auguste de Forbin, whose family owned the place. They stayed there for some time but it was complicated to maintain their secret relationship as the hôtel particulier was literally in the middle of the city's main street, le Cour. So she pretended to be sick and said she needed the fresh air of the countryside. Later, her husband joined her and I don't know if her lover was still there. Did he know ? Was he part of this relationship ? We will never know.

As for Fouché, it was his first home in Aix after his second disgrace in september 1810. He was appointed senator of the city and the people LOVED him, like everyone was in mourning when he left for Ferrières (and keep in mind these people were very religious and nostalgic for the monarchy, they were the first in France to respawn white rosettes out of nowhere when Napoleon was in Elba island). Interesting enough, in the municipal archives’ constitutional and political acts, they called him �� His Excellency monsignor Joseph, Duke of Otrante » and just chose to ignore his family name.

Here, a crazy extract from Les Rues d’Aix :

so there basically, people invited by Fouché to celebrate the new year are complaining about the cold nights and fearing the olive trees would die and some noble guy is like « who cares about the olive trees as long as the Duke is fine ! »

Then, the Mignarde castle.

Insane and disgusting stuff happened here because of Pauline's whims. First she "made the frogs and the cicasias shut up" because their sound bothered her (basically she paid men with sticks and they just hit the trees and the lake until all those poor animals left of were k*lled) and then she took a donkey milk bath everyday but it was very expensive so that milk was sold to the city's market when she was done and people realized something was wrong when they poured it in their corn flakes bowl and it weidly smelled of lavender (obviously it was a huge scandal).

And what about Fouché ? Well, he lived there for some months without making scandals, just being the father of the year and walking in his garden holding the hand of his daughter Josephine. Nothing suspicious happening here.

The New Stone Tablets

1 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.”

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles. 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.

17 “Do not make any idols.

18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.

26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord. — Exodus 34 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

Joke on you

"In highsight, I should have clarified some details beforehand"

Luisa fumbled, wiping the sticky sweat off her brow. She was so exhausted after a long working day. Her legs could barely hold her, and she needed a shower like Parce needed raw meat. Two showers. Crap, maybe she DID overworked again. But Luisa could swear it was an accident. Old habits were just too hard to break. So from time to time Luisa had unintentionally slipped onto the overworking ground again.

"Hola, how's your day's been?" Isabela jumped to her as Luisa collapsed onto the old creaky wooden chair. Hmm, maybe she should paste it some time later.

"Anything interesting?" Luisa sighed, pushing a cup of coffee to herself. Surprisingly, without a sign of milk in it. Knowing her older sister, there was no chance she wouldn't try to ruin this precious drink with her poisonous milk. Did Isabela grow a weed again? And she didn't even invite Luisa! It's so rude of her! Not like Luisa planned to agree anyway, but still.

Isabela pushed a plate with some sort of a cake on it to Luisa. The fine biscuit and some topping made out of what seemed to be smashed fruits. The younger of of pair narrowed her eyes, half standing now. She pressed her palms against the pedestal-table and narrowed her eyes at the food. The kitchen had looked surprisingly normal for Isabela cooking. Usually it was finished with burned place and smelly mass that nobody could really call 'food'."What is this?" Luisa tilted her head, as if she stares at some puzzle she couldn't solve. And she was actually pretty hungry too.

Isabela shrugged, unbothered. "Mamá's new recipe. You better try it until Camilo gets his hands to the last piece." Luisa chuckled, slightly spilling coffee from the gush of wind. Of course, Camilo would eat it the moment he sees it. There was no big surprise. And Luisa had to try whatever it was. Judging by the fact that cake looked pretty normal it must be actually Mamá's food.

Luisa took a handful of fork... And spit out most of it in five seconds. It tasted worse than hay for the donkeys in the barns (don't ask how she knows it.) Extremely gross taste, sour as if Luisa swallowed a whole lemon and so salty that even Mirabel would refuse to take a second bite. It buried itself inside Luisa's mouth, while she gagged. At first Luisa tried to drink coffee to get rid of the taste. But it only ruined the taste of coffee too. Casita pushed a bottle with water to Luisa with motherly care.

It was Isabela's, wasn't it? Fuck her. Luisa leaned against the old table, feeling it cracking under her strengt. Her head felt like it was running a marathone. Pain jumped up and down, spinning in circles inside Luisa's exhausted body. Her arms felt heavy like two churches.

For maybe a minute Isabela stood with a smirk, which further proved she was behind this all. But the smugness slowly turned away. The older sister raised her eyebrows, baring her teeth in worry. And maybe a glimpse of guilt. "Fuck, are you okay?" Isabela pushed her way to Luisa's side, helping her to hold her weight with the vines.

"I don't feel so good." Luisa murmured, eyes shut. She shieved from cold, the same kind to when you walk out of the water. "I... I'll go to bed." She tried to get up herself but had practically collapsed the moments there was nothing to hold her weight. Hell, what is going on with her? Her eyes were closing themselves,every step was so clumsy. She buckled, Isabela helped her get all the way up to her room. She heard somebody talking but couldn't exacty made out a single word. Just grunted something.

"Okay, okay, go to bed. It'll teach you not to drink black coffee."

Luisa collapsed onto the bed. Her head could not stop spinning. Everything floated in a lazy haze. Luisa could barely breathe, it hurts so much. What the fuck? She was sick several times but it never was like this. Her body twitched. Starting all the way from her fingers, then enbows, spine moving in a strange way, nose snapping like a twig. Something slipped down from her body.

She wasn't sure how she managed to stand up. Her room looked stranglely smaller than usual. Isabela was just at the door.

"What the fuck was in this cake?!" Luisa growled and Isabela almost felt onto the floor in surprise. If it wasn't for the stone, she would've created a bunch of vines in self-defence instinct.

The older sister stared at her with wide open eyes. Breathing heavily under Luisa's huge frame. "Luisa, what the hell is bear doing in your room?" She chuckled nervously. "You should've told me you've got a new pet." A BEAR?! Luisa stared around, trying to spot it. Was it Antonío's runaway. Eye twitching from worry. Isabela blinked several times. "Sis?"

"Where's that bear?" Luisa asked, still looking aroung. She gave a hand to Isabela to help her get up. Well... tried to. What used to be Luisa's arm now was hude and covered in black fur with big claws at the end of it. Luisa gasped, falling onto the cold floor. Looking from one of her arm to another. Both were fluffy, paws instead of hands. Sharp claws rang agains the raw stone. She trembled, trying to feel her face. What the fuck was going on with her? Her breathing hitched, the room was spinning. Luisa felt like throwing up.

Her clothes lied in her bed. Now too small to Luisa. And considering that it was too huge to be worn by anyone becides Luisa she must be huge right now. She wailed on the floor, her heart beating way too fast. What the hell was going on? She tried to yell at Isabela, demanding an explanation, but the only sound that came out was an animalistic growl. Which made ger freak out even more.

Okay, no, it was a dream! She must be sleeping! She felt sick earlier, it was the reason. She wasn't actually. She wasn't an animal... But each time Luisa tried to feel her face, she could sence an enlogate snout. Would anybody have to say she was freaking out in the mometn?

She needed some fresh air. Luisa had shoved Isabela away brutally. The older sister tumbled and yelled as Luisa broke her door off her hinges, barely managing to stop herself before she broke the rails too and fell down the patío.

Isabela had found her sister by bear cries coming from Antonío's room.

The whole thing went wrong! It wasn't supposed to happen! Damn witch, Isabela should've never trusted her! Okaay, maybe she didn't think this throught too good. Planning wasn't her strong side. And she also didn't think Luisa would turn into a bear. Remind Isabela to ask what type of magic she uses the bext time she meets a witch.

She stared at how her youngest cousin pat a giant bear, undoubtedly Luisa. It didn't look like Andean bear, but something unknown and scary. And big, Luisa was more than two feet bigger in lenght that she used to be. The fact that she managed to squeeze herself through the doorway was a big surprise. Luisa lied in a puddle of fur on the grass, merging with the floor in her despair. Sobbing profusely while Antonio was noddindg with understanding. Luisa had a habit of talking so much nobody could insert a word when she was upset and freaking out. Which was happening right now.

"I'm sure being a bear isn't this bad!" The young boy looked over to Isabela."Oh, and Bela will know how to fix it, right?"

Isabela swallowed under the piercing plate-sized brown eyes. In fact, she had no idea. Hopefully, it would go away itself. But what if not? She really shoud have asked what whe was getting Luisa into before giving her a magic cake.

Luisa huffed, looking away. Maybe she was upset. To be fair, Isabela couldn't blame her for it. "Yeah, it was an accident!" She hoped she sound confident enough. "We"ll go to that dawn witch and force her to take it back. Or I'll beat her with a cactus."

If there was anything in being perfect for so long, it was the fact that Isabela had gotten so good in acting that pretending unbothered came as a second skin. Everything should be fine, she would get Luisa back to normal. (She didn't know what she would do if she couldn't). Luisa was upset already, Isabela's crying would just be useless for either of them. She would be much better off if she acts like she knows what she's doing.

They just needed to get outside. Which would've been easy if adults weren't talking about Luisa's suddenly broken door in the patío. Isabela held back the want to do some stupid comment about the situation. It would've been so much easier if Luisa wasn't so stupidly emotional. The other part reminded that it was Isabela's fault to begin with.

"Oh, Toñito," Camilo meowed, inviting himself into the room. "Have you heard? There's some drama with Luisa."

Luisa tensed, pulling her... arms... legs... paws? Limbs under her body. Her ears fell down with a small grunt.

Camilo inhaled, clapping his hands. "Toñito? You've got a new friend?"

"It's Luisa! Isabela had turned her into a bear!"

Isabela squinted, baring her teeth. Her fists clentched. She preferred to focus on rapid water steam nearby. Luisa seemed to do the same thing.

"Wait?" Camilo stared at Isabela with wide open mouth. "You can turn people into animalis? That's so cool! Can you turn me too?" There was no surprise in Camilo wanting to join the chaos. Becides, his gift was shape-shifting already so even if he didn't know beforehands, maybe it was easier for him than for Luisa. And honestly, knowing beforehand Isabela would like to be changed too. Hell, maybe Luisa herself wouldn't freak out if she knew. Not like Isabela could warn her. She didn't think it would turn her into a bear too.

But hey... Isabela could use it to her advantage.

"If you help me to get Luisa out of here, she's not so happy about this."

Luisa growled, her fur standing up. Camilo snarled back almost instinctively. "Language, Prima, there's Antonìo!" Even as chaotic as he was, Camilo had a huge parental instinct.

"Uh... Since when can you understand bears?" Isabela muttered, looking from her eye-twitching sister (guess even being an animal doesn't help her with this) to her primo.

"I can't, it just sounded like Luisa swore."

Antonio nodded, flattered. "She did!"

Isabela decide to ignore Camilo trying to get from Antonío who had taught him bad words. It wasn't a big surprise. He was Tía Pepa's son after all.

She crounched becides Luisa, digging her hand into the black coat. Luisa made another displeased sound, which Isabela couldn't understand. She had no idea what they were supposed to do. It was meant to be a silly innocent joke. And Luisa clearly disliked it with every muscle of her body.

Just act like she was confident in herself. It would at least be more assuring for Luisa than Isabela admitting that she had no idea what she got themselves into.

The Best Album Per Year for Sixty Years

No-one asked for it, of course, but I do like making lists, so here's me pondering what have been the best Long Players in the album artform the past 60 years. I originally tried to keep it to just one per year, but many years that proved impossible: when listing multiple albums I have tried ranking them with the one I feel narrowly edges out the others first, and I use lower case to indicate an album that is not at the same level as others on the list but was the best I've heard from that time.

Feel free to have fun with the list and make up your own.

Nuts & Milk

Nintendo’s Family Computer had a pretty good start with its initial line-up of quite accurate conversions of their own arcade titles like Donkey Kong, Popeye and Donkey Kong Jr. With time, the offering was expanded by even more ports and original games made specifically for the system. However, the company’s higher-ups knew that their R&D divisions could not keep up with churning out new releases of their own – a cooperation with third-party developers was urgently needed. In the process, Nintendo introduced strict licensing rules so they can filter out shovelware or inappropriate content, while racking up plenty of money in licensing fees. Just one year after Famicom’s launch Hudson Soft, a known name in Japanese home computer software, would offer Nuts & Milk, which solidified them as the first third-party Famicom game developer and a major partner of Nintendo for years to come.

Idea I had for a Minecraft mod from around 2021-2022. I was smart enough to bother writing this one down, so I'll just copy from what I wrote (with minor tweaks here and there):

A survival-oriented mod that re-works some mob behaviour to make them more interesting, varied and unique without going too overboard or derailing from their original purpose and impact towards the player.

General changes (changes that affect more than one mob)

Mobs that burn in the sun will prioritize putting themselves out before anything else. Even ignoring the player if they're attacking them.

If there's no nearby method to put themselves out they'll helplessly run around until they die.

If the mob has armor that protects them from the sun they'll still seek cover but only if they have no other priority.

Fish that spawn in schools will flee when a player comes near.

Patrols increase in difficulty the higher level your 'Bad Omen' status effect is.

If the player lacks Bad Omen patrols will completely ignore the player unless they get too close.

While under the status effect patrols will specifically hunt after the player.

The Bad Omen status effect can no longer be removed by drinking milk. Instead it goes away in 10 minutes while nearby a new block: The 'Hopeful Banner'.

A Hopeful Banner is obtained from a level 5 patrol (It replaces the normal pillager banner when you have Bad Omen at level 5).

THUNDERSTORM ADDITIONS Thunderstorm lightning will now give unique effects to more mobs.

Drowneds get an enchanted trident.

Illagers become witches.

Husks and Strays revert to Zombies and Skeletons respectively.

Phantoms instantly die and always drop a phantom membrane.

Zombies become Giants.

Zombie Villagers get cured.

Slimes have their size increase by 2, no matter what it was before (meaning it can go above the natural limit).

Ravagers become Hoglins.

Skeletons gain a skeleton horse.

Horses either become a skeleton horse or a zombie horse.

Silverfish become Endermite.

Ocelots become cats.

Donkeys become Mules.

Mules either become Donkeys or Horses.

Squids become Glow Squids.

Sheep become Goats.

Snow Golems become Iron Golems.

Spiders become spider jockeys, with the skeleton having armour similar to a skeleton horse trap.

Cave spiders become normal spiders.

Most effects that transforms the mob into another mob also work the opposite way.

Passive/Neutral mob changes

Horse

Horses are now neutral mobs capable of defending themselves and running away from attacks.

Tamed horses are still able to sometimes kick the player if hurt by them, but will never run away.

Ocelot

Ocelots are now neutral mobs and will attack the player in retaliation.

Ocelots can become pets and will behave identically to cats (but don't change their appereance to one).

Ocelots can hunt rabbits.

Ocelots now have a predator (wolves) and will run away from them.

Squid

Squid's ink now give a second of blindness.

Villager

Villagers will employ better techniques to avoid zombies (like forcing their way past them if they're cornered) and will look after Iron Golems to huddle around if chased by one.

The same techniques applies to players and any mob that attacks them.

Iron Golem

Every naturally generated village is now guaranteed to have at least one Iron Golem.

Iron Golems' patrol behaviour during night is now restricted to areas with Villagers instead of the entire village. This also means Golems may remain stationary outside the entrance of buildings (effectively looking like a bouncer).

Iron Golem's can now hear when a Villager is hurt and will search for them appropriately.

Polar Bear

Polar Bears without cubs will sometimes spawn as hostile and attack players on sight.

Polar Bears now drop leather and meat alongside their normal drops.

Wolf

Wolves will defend their pups like Polar Bears.

Wolves now hunt cats, ocelots and goats.

Hostile mob changes

Magma Cubes

Slimes will become magma cubes if submerged in lava. Similar to how zombies become drowneds.

Magma cubes have a chance to ignite the player when successfully attacking them.

Phantom

Phantoms only spawn once per night.

Phantoms can spawn even if the player does not have clear access to the sky. In which case they'll hover around the player and wait for them to have sky access.

Phantoms don't contribute to being unable to sleep in bed because of hostile mobs being nearby.

Cave Spider

Cave Spider's venom now applies additively. Meaning getting hit by a Cave Spider while poisoned will increase the poison level.

However, getting hit by a Cave Spider now only adds a bit of time to the poison instead of resetting the time. Specifically 3 seconds on normal and 6 on hard (they don't apply poison on easy).

This also means the first hit gives you that amount of time of poison instead of the regular length.

The amount of time is maxed at the original time that the poison had. So the max is 7 seconds on normal and 15 seconds on hard.

Cave Spiders can now spawn deep underground outside of mineshafts, but only very rarely.

Enderman

Endermen's attack length is increased to now make it harder to cheese them but still possible to safely hit them with normal weapons.

In the overworld Endermen will now call upon other nearby Endermen when provoked. Making them also chase after you.

Creeper

Charged Creepers now have electric buzzes and sounds to their hisses to easily differentiate them from regular creepers and make them more noticeable.

Creepers will instantly explode if set on fire. But the explosion is weaker.

Silverfish

Silverfish can now spawn deep underground outside of mountain biomes, but much less frequently than in mountains.

Vindicator

20% of Pillagers in patrols are replaced by Vindicators.

Witch

Witches' drops are entirely changed. Now consisting of every type of potion they can use, bottles and mushrooms

Witches' health has been reduced

Witches now have a 1-2 second delay whenever they show a potion before they use it.

To compensate for this Witches now attack faster, matching their attack rate from before.

Witches now use a wider selection of potions and take advantage of them (for example they can now drink invisibility potions and will scuddle around while invisible).

Witches are fearful of villages and will avoid following you into one. They also avoid villagers, who play a frustrated sound if they see one.

Zombie

Zombies that aren't in armour will sometimes plunge towards players if close enough.

Whenever a zombie spawns reinforcements (an obtuse vanilla mechanic that only exists on hard) a noticeable sound is played.

Zombies can now spawn with axes, and attack slower with both swords and axes.

Zombies with swords will use sweep attacks.

Zombies with axes break down doors and shields like Vindicators and can do so even on medium difficulty.

Baby Zombies now have less health and damage than regular zombies.

However, Baby Zombies now ignore shields and will try to confuse the player by constantly circling them while attacking.

Giant

Giants now exist outside of commands. Spawned when a zombie is struck by lightning.

They move very slowly and are unable to use armor or hold anything.

They attack either through the force created whenever they walk or with their hands if the player is high up enough.

Their 'stomp' attack has large knockback and a near constant attack rate but low damage. It serves mainly to annoy the player and encourage them to swap to attacking from a distance.

Their normal attack with their hands flings the player up, similarly to the ender dragon, and deals very high damage.

They have insanely high health

When killed they drop 50-100 experience and a ton of rotten flesh.

Husk

Husks received the same changes that Zombies did to their behaviour.

Husks now apply "drought" instead of hunger. "Drought" has the same effect as mining fatigue and hunger but can only be removed by eating something or by drinking milk.

Removing "drought" with food also makes you immune to it for a minute.

Wither Skeleton

Wither Skeleton's wither is now applied additively, identical to how it worked with Cave Spiders.

However, the time added every hit is 5 seconds and the maximum is 10 seconds. No matter the difficulty.

Skeleton

Skeletons will now flee from targets if they get too close.

Skeletons will also lower their weapon while fleeing.

This change is carried over to Strays.

*slams $100 on the tsble*

Make me a horny anthro donkey with hooves for hands and constantly in heat with massive tits hips and udder.

Write a whole detailed story about it and I’ll quadruple my offer

Let me become your new toy and I’ll give all my money to you

Whoa, a hundred bucks? Look at this big spender over here!

Alright alright, let's spread a little fairy dust and make you a spectacle! This feels like it would be the result one of those ironic curses (no hands? oof!) but since you're just asking for it, I dunno what the karmatic implications are gonna be. Oh well, we'll burn that bridge when we cross it!

I figure we'll start with a powerful core (and fat donkey ass) to support everything else and work our way out from there. The udder is a bit of an unusual request, or at least one I'm not familiar with granting. It'll be a heavy one ("massive" applies to all three parts listed after, right?), so if there's a market for donkey milk, you'll be a strong contributor. Get you some nice wide hips and thick thighs to support it... it's a shame this creamy silky skin's gonna get covered in rather course donkey fur, but so it goes...

Your legs, knees and lower hooves can take care of themselves, so let's not focus on whatever nightmare reconfiguration your bones are doing, because now that your belly paunch is all donkey, it's time to move on to giving you hefty swaying tits!

Again, I'm not super familiar with udder logistics, but I suspect whatever hormones make your udder produce milk also mean your bust is gonna be overproducing, so I probably shouldn't make em too big, right? Oh fine, don't pout, here, let me just give you a little extra massage... a little bigger... more... okay, that's gotta be enough right? C'mon! they're bigger than your head! Alright, fine, you want mondo mounds, here... Now let me give your back muscles a rub, you're gonna need em nice and strong...

Oh wow, your hands just went and did the thing without any help. That, uh, didn't hurt right? Because giving a biped hoof-hands is the part I was kinda worried about. But look at that, nice sturdy cloppers. Totally useless for just about anything requiring soft, delicate precision. Huh. Hey! Don't scratch the table!

Looks like we're almost done here. Surely you won't mind if I steal your last kiss as a human, eh? Aaaand there's the muzzle and its typical doofy grin. Wow, donkeyfolk sure do have big pretty eyes. And such cute fuzzy ears! I bet it'll feel great if I give em a little scratch scratch scratch... aaaand there's the milk on the floor. Probably should have laid out a towel, but I guess I'll have to mop anyway.

Alright, now lets go ahead and get you outside before you flood the place... There's a good girl, nice and easy. Your posture didn't have to change too much, I guess? Just the legs flipping around and your, uh, balance?

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to take you up on that final offer. I'm not a particularly clever enchantress and don't really have much of a use for unlimited donkey milk. Sooo I'm just gonna tie you to this post... Don't give me that look! You've got plenty of shade and a water trough! And a little "free to a good home" sign to compete the look... C'mon, stop whining! I'll bring you feed! a hundred bux will cover some oats! Yeahhh, there's a good girl. Alright, back in a jiffy, if you haven't been claimed by the time I'm back from the store, anyway.

update in my volunteering journey—i got to help out at another new-to-me local farmed animal sanctuary yesterday with soooo many pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, and cows!

and despite a recent back injury rn (that i’m on corticosteroids for) and a torrential downpour/tornado warnings, i got to do the hard farm labor that i feel so at home with thanks to lifelong experience. cleaning, shoveling and moving manure, endlessly hauling wheelbarrows and hay bales and bags of shavings through mud, and i helped hammer and zip tie for new fence enclosures

i also worked with a girl who i got to help teach about the finer details of large animal care and how to read most any given individual large mammal’s body language depending on the species etc

by the end i was sopping wet, caked in mud and burrs and manure, had to pour water out of my boots like a cartoon. but it was amazing. i melted right in with the routine and got to bond with so many amazing animals who have gotten a second chance at life after nearly ending up either enslaved for milk or on dinner plates (or in dog food)

and the people were incredible! all ages, from 13 to 50+. it’s been the joy of my life to connect with others who truly want nothing more than to make the time to help animals in need!
