#horf poll

[j0them0971]

I need help! I've fallen in love with 6 different breeds and idk which one to get, help me decide!

7 days to answer! NO TIES this time!

[syn4k]

list of hermits and empires characters who would do drugs and/or smoke cigarettes, ranked from most to least likely

that hermpires chainsmoker poll thats been going around kickstarted a discussion in my discord so i'm compiling the ideas here because honestly its hilarious

list under the cut. warning for... discussion of drugs and cigarettes. obviously

Fwhip: Definitely a chain smoker. Always has a pack in his pocket.

Iskall: that man's radioactive. she does not fear cigarettes. smokes regularly and is not bothered by it.

Cub: does so many weird drugs. high off something or other almost if not constantly i think

Ren: doesn't smoke but has the best weed on hermitcraft and you KNOW he uses it often

False: not exactly a chain smoker but smokes pretty often i think

Wels: maintains that he does NOT do anything of that sort thank you very much. Actually does. inhaling anything destroys him but he likes the taste and the high so he keeps going

Hypno: smokes everything but is pretty chill about it

Beef: also smokes everything and is even more chill about it

Stress: smokes poisonous mushrooms and is entirely unaffected.

Zedaph: definitely does some sort of drugs

Pearl: has a cigarette every now and then

Pix: also has a cigarette every now and then, not really his thing but he'll take one if offered (for esmp s1: i hold that pixandria has at least one hallucogenic that they keep for spiritual purposes but as the resident pixlriffs expert i also hold that pix got really stressed once, horfed an edible out of sheer desperation, and zoned back in in the middle of the night floating on his back in the river anxious out of his shit. he never touched anything of the sort ever again)

Joe: smokes only weed but does not smoke it often, only sometimes when offered

Katherine: smokes weed

Cleo: was a chainsmoker before s2, after that they got their act together

Impulse: not affected at all by anything (weed fumes give him slight headaches) and only does it when everyone else does because why not.

Bdubs: doesn't smoke (takes edibles very rarely) but rolls the best blunts

Lizzie: partakes sometimes but doesn't care for it

Joey: does drugs and smokes cigarettes in the presence of others just to look cool but actually gives zero shits about them

Xornoth: is always so smug about the fact that they smoke what they call "Evil Weed". fwhip steals some and tries it and it's literally just normal grass.

Mumbo: only smokes cigarettes and only when iskall's around. too anxious for drugs- tried weed once and saw the hat man and was shaking for three hours ljke a small dog afterwards

Joel: doesn't give two shits

Grian: nah

Hels: not interested

Sausage: can handle it pretty fine but stopped after he and joel had hermes because he didn't want to set a bad example for his kid

Scott: definitely some sort of drug dealer but i don't think he ever. does them himself?

Gem: doesn't because of concerns for her health, however in esmp s1 she smoked wizard weed (like gandalf) when the academy's paperwork piled too high for her to handle without help

Shelby: smoked weed but it made her really sick and after Katherine got mad at her for it she stopped. she's actually completely fine when it comes to everything else but she swore off trying so she never knew

Evil Xisuma: never did drugs or vaped with nicotine because the things they learned about addiction at school kept them up at night however they did vape water vapour.

Xisuma: has asthma

Jimmy: would quite literally die. Mans gets nauseous if there's a whiff of weed in the room he's in.

Jevin: eats cigarettes just to piss everybody off

Friends, Romans, Countrymen

I might make more polls for pattern and hair so we can discover the ultimate horf

(Not including the impractical gold horse because that is clearly superior)

[afniel]

Results thus far:

It definitely doesn't seem to work for everyone. The 'better' category is equal to the 'same' category, and the 'worse' category is about 25%-ish larger (not at all exact math, I'm eyeballing it here).

Between people who can and cannot digest lactose, it looks entirely proportional between the two categories, when you'd probably have expected that it would be overwhelmingly not helpful for people who are lactose intolerant.

Not really enough data on culture to make any conclusions. We'll see!

Evidently sugar makes your stomach relax a little and that may be why it works regardless of lactase status? I actually looked that up to be sure it was real and yeah, there's studies on it.

Someone was aghast that I would even consider eating cold food after hot food. Can't say I've ever felt any kind of way about food temperature, like, at all, as long as it's not burning my tongue, frozen, or a food safety issue. Everything that hits my stomach is gonna end up 98.6°F soon enough anyway.

A whopping 40% of people have never heard of/tried ice cream as a stomach settler after overeating. I guess that isn't that surprising given the premise of the poll.

Some people are maybe thinking I'm suggesting horfing down a triple scoop or something? I mean a few bites. If you want more, you do you, I'm not the boss of your food intake, but I'm not talking like force-feeding yourself dessert or anything. That would just be foul even if you do like ice cream.

Not being able to easily read the difference between the phrases 'lactose tolerant' and 'lactose intolerant' is a bigger hurdle than I'd expected. Yes, there's 3 options for both cases, really! That one's on me I guess, I went for uniformity which maybe is good practice for scientific polls but this one isn't so I should have gone for visual distinction.

One of these days I'll remember that I'm mutuals with a Big Name Tumblr User who sometimes reblogs my stuff and I'll stop being surprised when something I've made suddenly turns my notification graph into a hockey stick. But not today.

Keep sharing though, this is turning out way more interesting than I'd thought at first. There's a lot going on here that I didn't expect!

Okay I need data to prove something so here we go:

Bonus points if you put your culture in the tags because I have met a whole lot of non-white people who swear by ice cream after a huge dinner like it's a normal thing everyone totally knows about, but most of my white friends are absolutely baffled by the concept and don't believe me.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THIS

Okay, so I owe you guys a few episode wrap-ups, so:

The Egg was perfectly competent, but not really a standout episode of...anything, really.  I found the core of the episode kind of grating.  It comes in at my new #3 for the series.

The Picnic was really funny and I loved pretty much every second of it.  More Wander episodes like that, please.  The Picnic takes my new #1 spot for the series.

The Fugitives wasn’t...bad, my complaints about the repeated joke aside.  It was, however, really really unpleasant for me in particular due to all the rotting garbage and filth.  As a result, it’s my new #4 for the series (though it probably still would have wound up there without the horf factor).

OKAY IT’S DONE I’M GONNA GO SCRUB OFF TWO LAYERS OF SKIN SEE YOU LATER

WHAT ELSE IS UP WITH ME?

I’M WRITING A STEVEN UNIVERSE FANCOMIC IS WHAT’S UP

I’m working with @strawberryseally on a Steven Universe fancomic called Trespassers, which you can read from the first page onwards by clicking that link.  There are two pages up as of me making this post, with a third in the works--and let me tell you, I cannot wait to see people’s reactions when that page drops.  It’s gonna be awesome.  I’ll keep you guys posted--quite literally--as new Trespassers stuff gets made.  We have a lot of neat stuff waiting for the right moment to show you guys!

Other than that--I’m saving up to buy a ticket to see my s/o across the Caribbean in the fall, so that’s exciting!  I’m so hyped to see them, you guys, you have no idea.

I’m also turning thirty in less than a month!  That’s less exciting!  Being old sucks!  Where did all my hair go!  Make it stop, please!

Oh, and, also--the June Patreon Minecraft build competition has concluded, with Jack_dHP’s entry being the winner.  The runners-up are currently in a poll for the community-choice of who gets to pick the next build theme.  Go vote on which you like best!

In the meantime, if you’d like more of me:

My Discord server, where you can come hang out with other fans!

My Twitch channel, where I stream Minecraft and miscellaneous games!

My Youtube channel, where you can check out past streams!

Our community also has a guild in Path of Exile, which is running the best expansion they’ve ever released (all free!)  Go check the game out, it’s a fantasy horror game that’s basically Diablo II with Materia and a Sphere grid.

If you’d like to help support me financially (yes please) you can use my direct donation link to put some food on my shelf, or pledge to my Patreon if you want to support me per episode completed, which not only allows you to vote on what shows I do next now that I’ve begun my Madoka Magica liveblog, but also grants access to the Minecraft server I stream from to $5 patrons or higher!  

It’s your kindness and support that lets me do this stuff, and I wouldn’t be where I am without all of you to do it for.  Thank you all so much for your support, and for tuning in every episode!

OTHER PEOPLE YOU MAY ENJOY:

I may have been one of the earlier Steven Universe liveblogs, but a whole community of livebloggers has sprung up over the last two years!   The last few wrap-ups have linked to a bunch of livebloggers here, but honestly, this end-slate is already eight billion miles long, so this time I’m just gonna link to my links page.  Click here if you want recommendations of other livebloggers, or other neat people, or webcomics and podcasts that I recommend.
