#but we can still shoot for that right?

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?

I was dead asleep and woke up like a fucking zombie with the thought of “I wonder if when people go to Danny’s Grave to offer their condolences or whatever people do, if Danny can only hear it when he is a ghost.” I’m imagining it like an answering machine, you don’t actually know the message unless you play it back. This idea has probably been said before, but it’s 4 a.m and I’ve written 6 college papers in the last 24 hours. I wasted good sleep for this random bunny.

This premise lies solely on the fact of Danny actually having a grave stone, for people to go to.

That being said, a lot of people don’t go to Cemeteries every time they think of someone who passed away. Personally, with my Great Grandmother, when I want to remember her I bring out her old cookbooks and make her favourite recipes. And I talk to her the entire time I’m cooking. Especially during Harvest Fest.

So, in that mindset, can Danny hear everything people say when they’re remembering him? Cause that could get really annoying really fast for a boy who’s still half alive.

Like he’s partnered up with Wes on a Chemistry project and all that’s going through his head when he’s fighting a ghost when they’re supposed to meet up is “Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom, why isn’t he here already? I didn’t see a ghost on the news” or something like that. Don’t judge the dialogue literally have had 2 hours of sleep the last 3 days cause of work and classes.

Someone please, if this is a thing and there are fics about it drop them in the comments. Is that pick me? To ask you to comment? Anyways, i should try and get back to bed.

This is not proofread and I didn’t even put on my glasses for it, so if it’s clunky/there are misspelled words, no there aren’t.

Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist

The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence

Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother

And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way

Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that

He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

time is a flat circle where we watch a country go to another country and randomly will civilians because "what if they're the enemies haha we totally aren't clearing people out to steal their land" etc and we all go "wow thats fucking messed up, good thing it won't happen again!" and then the exact same thing happens right now and the same people somehow are just incapable of accepting that fact that we are living through history and letting the thing we said wont happen again fucking happen again.

Damn u rlly got detention for not wanting ur school to get shot up

we really did it was bonkers. the protest was planned in advance and the school knew about it so teachers would gently remind us we would get in trouble if we walked out but very few actually discouraged it because, you know, they also didn’t like the idea of getting shot up. the whole thing went pretty well, the local news came to cover it, several students gave speeches, the names of some students and teachers who had recently died in school shootings were read off before a moment of silence, plans were made for further protests and walk outs on a larger scale that went successfully over the next few months. eventually our school principal came out and announced his support and also assured that no students would face disciplinary action for protesting. and then a bunch of us received disciplinary action for protesting. importantly though, not all of us did, seemingly an indiscriminately chosen group of attendees were apathetically punished and no further action, positive or negative, was ever taken. despite being a relatively small scale movement it was probably the biggest movement against gun violence (or for that matter anything remotely leftist) the whole region had seen, being in the red south. which isn’t directly related but does make it sting a little more that the only response was a few lunch detentions that didn’t stick on my permanent record.

Been listening to the behind the bastards eps on Henry Kissinger because I always hear about this man being a trash bag on fire but uh. I mean this guy is a HUGE trash bag on fire wtf I'm not even halfway through the series and Kissinger has committed treason AND extended the Vietnam war, resulting in MILLIONS more dying. Like what the fuck. What the fuck. America y'all are being held hostage by literally the worst people ever y'all need to like. Call the French and see if their revolution stuff can help you out. Like the french arent working in an American context which is why they can do what they do but also damn at least ask em to bring a guillotine or somethin ☠️☠️☠️ Reverse American revolution. Or american revolution two electric boogalo, the sequel wherein America fights America instead of Britain which feels VERY American lmao. Time honored tradition of not trusting America with America 😂😂
