Request For Help

(this is my first venture into main tags outside mcyt, sorry if there's some specific tag to use I'm unaware of >.>)

I only just today found out that the sheep farm design I found on YouTube, described as "working in bedrock 1.19 without problems", actually does not work at all because it turns out observers can't detect grass->dirt changes in bedrock??? Which certainly explains why the farm I spent days constructing and weeks babysitting has produced 0 wool in that entire span...

Is there some other relatively simple way I can automate sheep shearing? Every design I've seen relies on the observer detecting grass being eaten :T

Year: 2093 (The Robotic Era)

Work, Education and Hobbies + Favourites

Work, Education and Hobbies

What is their current job?

I'm a scientist, Engineer and bringer of freedom… assassin… nice killer… outlaw? I don't know what to call my “nightime job”.

What do they think about their current job?

It's pretty much fun…usually. And often disturbing.

What are some of their past jobs?

I had a farm once. I helped Dethra and Bluctro here and there. But my main purpose was to sell our goods. Still did science besides that.

What are their hobbies?

Training, I guess. We also like to play video games when we have time. I like to read too. Preferably non-fiction.

Educational background?

After I was finished being homeschooled, I basically became my father's apprentice. That's where I learned computer science, AI development, coding and robotics.

Intelligence level?

Considering what I do… I must be on the more intelligent side. Never did an IQ test though.

Do they have any specialist training?

I don't have any diplomas or titles, technically. I had teachers in my life that you could have never found at any school.

Do they have a natural talent for something?

Yeah, science, I guess.

Do they play a sport? Are they any good?

I train a lot and I have quite a bit of experience in extreme sports.

What is their socioeconomic status?

Mine is very high. You could say it's a junkie… I know, that was a bad joke.

Favourites

What is their favourite animal?

Kangaroos, they're big, muscular assholes. Penguins are also pretty neat. Did you know that some of them are tall as fuck?

Which animal do they dislike the most?

Parasites that spread diseases.

What place would they most like to visit?

I would like to see the home I grew up in once again, including the basement.

What is the most beautiful thing they’ve ever seen?

That one time when I was almost bleeding out, back in 2045, when I saw Dethra for the first time. The bloodloss for sure played some part in it, but he looked absolutely majestic, standing tall with the trees behind him, sunlight shining through the trees, but never reflecting off of his body. Probably could have died in peace during that moment, knowing that such an ethereal being as him exists.

What is their favourite song?

Hellraiser by Ozzy Osbourne

Music, art, reading preferred?

I really like bands like Metallica, ACDC and Iron maiden. You know, heavy metal and hard rock.

I like many kinds of art. But my favorite one must be slightly abstract depictions of humans and robots.

I like non-fiction books. The ones that talk about scientific topics.

What is their favourite colour?

Probably grey and black

What is their password?

Why would you want to know that? Don't you know that you should never share your passwords with anyone? Especially not with your interviewer.

Favourite food

I love to enjoy a salad before a warm meal. That includes a piece of meat and something like spaghetti besides it.

What is their favourite work of art?

Do robots count as a work of art?

Who is their favourite artist?

Fucking Slayeeeer! Just kidding, it's Iron Maiden.

What is their favourite day of the week?

Don't care.

My thoughts on Palia

I've been playing the game since the closed beta and I've really been enjoying it. There are a few things I would like to see changed, just for ease of play.

Get rid of the repair tick - At least on the watering can. The only way to make money in this game is to farm or annihilate whole herds of sernuk. Just let me water my damn plants in peace.

Disspell Arrows one shot all creatures in the game - It's a magic arrow that uses rare/hard to find materials. The fact that it doesn't insta-eliminate everything is disappointing. This to me feels like the most wasteful thing in the game. Unless you're all about hunting the magic creatures for the achievements, there's very little point to them.

Adjusted spawn rates for flora, fishing, and bugs - I swear I'll see an epic once before I'm dead, but I'm not too sure. I understand commons are meant to be exactly that, but it's disheartening to use twenty worms for fishing and maybe get a single rare out of the lot. If you're going to tie missions to hard to find items, then maybe make them slightly easier to find or catch. If anything make the common and uncommon available for the regular worms and the rare and epics available for the glow worms.

All recipes are available for purchase. - I'm tired of wasting glow worms trying to find the sushi recipe. Just let me buy it ffs.

Provide better ways to get Palium & Flow - Considering how difficult it can be to acquire either of these, the amount of stuff we have to build with them is just crazy. It would be cool for a future updates to get a mining sluice type device where we can process stone and get the more precious items out of it. Same type of concept for flow, except we can infuse wood with it.

Allow us to sell unwanted furniture pieces or recycle the materials in them for something else - My storage is full of furniture that I have no use for. I refuse to destroy it because the amount of materials in them is insane. Nothing would make me happier than to recycle the industrial stuff I had to make for Tish and get the iron bars back.

Recipe prices - Prices on things in general, but 2k - 5k gold FOR THE RECIPE. Not the item, the recipe to make it. Then I have to find the stuff to make it and then I have to maintain it because it has a health tick. Then I have to REBUILD it if I don't repair it.

Make character shops accessible when the characters are not available. - Please. There's cash registers. There's the other shops. Worst case, have Ashura/Jel/Kenyatta run a side business where they sell everyone's stuff because they're the only ones up at 2am. The other way is to adjust the general shop where everything is in one place.

Remove the cost for teleporting - You can spend gold or you can walk feels way too real world for me. I'm already choosing between sacrificing my tools for the sake of my house or vice versa. Can I have something useful that doesn't require me to spend money? Please.

Blueprints for structures - Once I spend money on the Blueprint for rooms and hallways, I feel like I should get to use it in perpetuity. Especially since the cost INCREASES every time you buy one.

Second floor for houses - This is not in the game, but I would like to see it go in at some point.

Cosmetic updates - Expanded cosmetics would be nice. They've said there is more stuff coming, but I would like to be able to do simple things like change wall or roof colors without the need for a wallpaper or purchasable cosmetic. Along this same line, please remove the furniture modification kit requirement and just let us adjust furniture as we want. It's a level of tedious that doesn't need to be there.

[bleedingheart-s]

🎫 gush pass because I'm curious about your BG3 ocs 🔍👀

BWEHDHFLAKFHFJDU HIIIII KUROH 🩵 THANK YOU FOR THE ASK AND THE EXCUSE TO GUSH ABOUT MY BABIES I WAS LITERALLY ROTATING TJEM EARLIER

some of them are with characters other than gale who i don't self ship with (yet- i'm tempted to self ship with pretty much every other companion too bless my polyamorous heart)

this ended up being so long i'm putting it under a read more

nox- fighter. dumbass (affectionate). Tries their best. Very reluctant leader. Absolutely no sense of direction (Astarion regularly asks why they all let Nox hold the map... it's currently upside down in their hands). Tiefs don't usually come in a green flavor so Nox is sort of shunned even within tief circles. They're also big so they inevitably attract attention- that's why they hate leading. Their biological parents abandoned them, and they were raised by humans (who loved them dearly). Misses the farm they grew up on. Just wants a quiet life and a couple of kids. Favorite color: blue, specifically the sort of soft light glowing blue of the Weave because its usually coming from Gale. They're SOOO protective. Them and Karlach are besties. Has more tattoos than shown.

ledi- paladin. She's smaller than your average aasimar and she has a bit of a complex over it. She WILL puff up her wings to appear bigger (it barely works.) She's sort of cold at the beginning, but she opens up as the story goes on. Her eyes are haloed by wings because she was rendered permanently blind in a fight (kind of like Kanan in Star Wars Rebels) (details pending). This changed her, she ended up switching her paladin oath from Devotion to Vengeance. She has a bit of a rage streak at the start of the game. Looks up to Aylin like a big sister. Hates Shadowheart. (I haven't gotten to act 2 with her yet but I think Ledi would want to kill her for what happens at the end.) Falls in love with Wyll and learns a lot from him. Won't touch alcohol. Likes having her hair played with. Preens when she's bored. Has a very... interesting dynamic with Raphael.

freya- ranger. Left her family behind as a teenager. Used to spending a lot of time alone in nature. mean lesbian. Hits it off with Lae'zel almost immediately, and they admire each other greatly (and in a very gay way). Takes no shit. If looks could kill, she'd have murdered a continent. Just wants to go back to her neck of forest and 'live in fucking peace'. Has a 'oh no he's hot' moment when she first meets Halsin after rescuing him. Completely self sufficient, she doesn't like relying on others (trust issues much? /j). Ends up making good friends with Jaheira and Minsc. Can drink half of Faerûn under a table. If you can make her do it, she snorts when she laughs. Only Karlach has so far. Minsc has gotten close.

livia- my s/i. Lore bard. Uhhh idk what to say about her 😭

i also have two new ocs i haven't managed to talk about yet!

sethe- resisting durge. tiefling, wildshaping druid. Has difficulty controlling their wildshape, so they're liable to turn into a pure white direwolf with eyes so blue they glow at any given point. Honestly prefers being in wildshape. She bonds with Halsin over this. They struggle greatly with allowing anyone to get close to them due to their urge, so Halsin is the only person in their memory to do so. Won't admit it, but she likes being scratched behind the ears while in wildshape. Better at showing positive emotions in wildshape as well (tail wagging, playful behavior.) doesn't like being hot (ironic for a tiefling)- and she will pant even in her bipedal form if she is. Admires Karlach and wishes they could be more like her. Likes rain.

anne- regular tav. sort of an s/i but not quite. human, storm sorcerer. Naive, a bleeding heart, refuses to think the worst in any situation- which causes contention with Lae'zel, Astarion and Shadowheart in the beginning. Fiercely loyal and will back up her friends to the bitter end. She was raised a noble, so she's poised and very charismatic. Knew Wyll before he took his contract with Mizora and honestly missed him after he disappeared. Her positive and supportive attitude wears on Astarion, and eventually he falls for her. Becomes great friends with Gale. She's braver than she looks but she'll be crying about it. Very homesick. Worries about her family constantly. Has a little brother. Likes spicy food. Smells vaguely of ozone due to her proficiency with lightning magic. Kinda looks like Anne Hathaway, hence the name.

[convexicalcrow]

Aww yeah the copper grind was 100% worth it, that roof looks so much better now. <3 I'm going to do, like, tiered gardens going down the mountainside for crops and whatnot, just to give the land more shape, and to flatten it out a little.

Did a cute lil interior as well. Little workspace in one area, and more of a sitting area on the other side, with some storage under the staircase. I'm all fully organised now, and I dug a storage room into the mountain bc I was already outgrowing the initial storage I put in the second floor lololol. Too much digging. XD

The furnace wall will turn into an autosmelter in time so I can expand my storage out that way when it's time, but for now, it'll do. I've reserved three columns of chests on the back left side for cobble, dirt, and cobbled deepslate, bc I just have So Much of it.

Enchanting room and bedroom. <3 Bedroom still needs some lil bits of decoration, but it'll do for now. I have sheep and cows and sugarcane growing now so I'll slowly work on getting the bookshelves I need for a full set-up. I'll build the animals a barn at some point as well, so they're not just in random pens down the mountainside.

Also I've been making staircases everywhere. Up to the top of the mountain, and down to my branch mine. There's tons of flat land on the top of the mountain, and I'd like to build some bigger structures up there, though what yet I don't know. Maybe I'll put the villagers up there idk. I could def fit a nice trading hall up there without needing to terraform so much. idk we'll see.

I do plan to make a path to the closest village, and I think next time I play, I may do that, and spend some time over there getting some villagers levelled up. It's by a meadow biome, and there's plenty of flat-ish space for crop farming and tree farming for emerald trades. I'd like to get a mending villager, and also a leatherworker so I can get a saddle and acquire one of the horses or donkeys I've seen around the place to make the journey quicker.

I'd like to bring the villagers back to my base eventually, when I decide to switch this world from peaceful to easy, so I can get an iron farm up and running, but I need to decide where tf the villagers are going first. I'll do the same iron farm I have in my other java world bc it's so stupidly small and simple to build, and it has given me SO MUCH MORE IRON THAN I COULD EVER POSSIBLY USE omg. I just need to figure out where the villagers are going, and then figure out how tf I'm getting them there lol. :D

Also guess who managed to get lost TWICE today and had to dig tunnels to get back again lololol. :D Once whilst bringing cows back from the village, and once while accidentally going caving and finding a deep dark biome and forgetting my way back. Also I am disappointed to discover I just have a gigantic deep dark biome under the mountain, not an ancient city, so no loot for me. It's in the biggest fkn cave I've ever seen, stretched hundreds of blocks. Sadge.

Also I have decided I'm not going to bother upgrading to netherite on my other java solo world before I upgrade the world. I have toolsmiths and armoursmiths for days, tons of diamonds, I play with keep inventory on, and I Do Not Want to go netherite mining, so. I'll make do with diamond. I will trim the world a little tho, cut out those chunks around the mountains and the woodland mansion just so I can be sure I'll get those Vex armour trims. >_>

Oh. And remind me tomorrow to fix up my minecraft build tags, bc I want to be able to find each world, and now that I have two java solo worlds, I should probably make them distinguishable. So I'll do a post about that tomorrow. And then maybe catch up on my dash bc I've been ignoring it bc I'm so addicted to 1.20 omg.

[thycatfromhell]

Okay it's been a while since I've played Bug Fables, but let me tell you my hard mode strategy (at least what I remember of it). Keep in mind I was min maxing, so you might not have enough medal points for these, but you should be able to make up for it in TP, HP and items. TIME FOR CHEESE Medals:

On Vi: Poison Attacker x2 Weak Stomach Eternal venom Life cast A.D.B.P Enhancer HP Core x2 Life Stealer (19 medal points) On Leif: TP Core x2 (6 medal points) On Kabbu: Spikey Bod Deep taunt Favorite one (I believe this works even when Kabbu is protected by a shield but don't quote me on that) (7 medal points) This adds up to 33 medal points. If you have any extra points to spare, I would suggest putting more damage increasing badges on Vi, such as a power exchange or antlion jaws. You could also put reverse heal on her for some extra healing, since she'll be using her HP instead of the team's TP to use her skills. Team slacker is also fairly weak to sleep, so if you can fit it, I'd recommend sleepy needles and status booster.

Back support and defense exchange can be used on Kabbu if you find he takes too much damage, along with super block + or block heal (chances are you'll get at least 1 super block during the attack). TP plusses are also good badges to consider. You could ALSO forgo all defense medals and spikey bod to min max Vi into a nuke if you so desire. Extra stats: You should have gotten at least 1 super pepper and/or iron seed at this point. The extra attack stats should be given to Vi, and the defense to Kabbu. Extra HP should also be delegated to Kabbu just in case. If you got these seeds and used them on a different party member, you can go to Patton to redistribute them. You can also use Patton to redistribute the rank up bonuses to give you more TP or medal points. Inventory: Items wise you're gonna need 1-2 attack up items (spicy berry or spicy fries), a whole bunch of HP and TP recovery items (Queen's dinner is the best for this but that's only if you have the patience to farm a bunch of it. If you don't, then I'd suggest Jayde's stew and Crisbee Donut. Leaf omelet also works) and finally a couple revives, just in case. Chompy: Team ribbon Now for the actual fight.

Vi should be in front. The position of the other two don't really matter unless you have back support, in which case Kabbu should be in the back. First thing you're gonna do is feed Vi your attack enhancing food. This will poison her, increasing her attack further. If you have strong start on her, you can use the extra turn to attack with her. If not, taunt with Kabbu, and use Leif's bubble shield to protect him. Stratos and Delilah will target Kabbu, but they won't be able to do anything to him because of the shield, leaving Vi free to be an undefended glass canon in mostly peace. That's going to be the main loop of the fight. Protect Kabbu, have him taunt, and then use Vi's hurricane toss for big damage. if you have any needle badges equipped, you can use needle toss/pincer to try to get your status off. Attack with Chompy to restore TP even though Chompy does no damage because trust me you'll NEED IT. If you get low on TP, use your healing item to restore it. Depending on how much TP you have, and how much HP Vi has, you might not be able to attack with her every turn, but I've found the war of attrition to usually ends up going my way. Try to block with Kabbu even if he's protected because the effects from blocking (like the spikey shield) still activate. I like to alternate between Stratos and Delilah to keep them at roughly equal HP, but you can focus on one and then the other. And I believe that is everything, assuming I'm remembering things right. Do tell me how it goes if you try this method

please tell me how to beat team slacker I Want That Trophy

thinking about hermit businesses in s8...

they're so. interesting? and varied and dynamic and totally different to what they had in s7? I think part of it has to do with the lack of a central shopping district, so each of the hermits have an incentive to make their shops unique to attract customers to their side of the continent; but also I think there are other factors to it. like, I think the hermits have learned the lesson of grian's barge: it's good to sell a wide variety of random stuff. single-item shops don't tend to do well unless their wares are really valuable (like shulker boxes and elytra).

and there are more collaborative businesses than ever before. like, we had concorp, architechs, and then pacific (rip), but now in just the first few weeks we've got the big eye crew, horse head farms, the yes wings club offering discount rocket sales, and etho and bdubs' horse breeding thing. and because there's no shopping district, franchises have been dotting shops across the countryside: potato vendors, padlamas, pass'n'gas.

and then there's the inventive shop mechanics at play. from microtransactions to the swaggon's and horse head farm's IOUs, diamonds are no longer the only currency on the server and every shopping experience might just be a dangerous gamble (or a very nice gamble, if you're shopping for slime at cubfan's slime casino.)

but even beyond that, I love how... in character all the shops are, and how they play off the hermit dynamics so perfectly. like, take geminitay. she's a forest princess, a new member to the server. she loves decorative plants, even the unloved birch tree; she might even be a nature spirit, according to fandom headcanon. so she sets up a little market to sell the plants she has farmed — dripleaf, spore blossoms, azalea roots — not entirely realizing that the hermits industrialize. they mass-produce. there are always about 3 different log farms going on at the same time. she's a nymph who's new to the area who wants to turn a profit but doesn't quite know how yet, but who is eager to make her little market as beautiful as possible.

or, mumbo. mr peace love and plants himself. I think it's fairly obvious how his shop fits into his character: it's a mix between plants (leaves and logs) and explosives, all ethically farmed as long as statistics are your only measure. he's a trigger-happy potato boy with a veneer of sunniness, and his shop sells deadly weapons while marketing itself as "harmless".

then there's grian and scar. monopoly men perpetually on the move, not keen to share their profits like the big eye crew are. they build their shopping caravans large — scar's more quirky and potentially dangerous, grian's more streamlined and functional. grian keeps in mind the lessons taught by the barge, selling for value. he keeps his prices low and his eyes wide for diamonds; the uniqueness of his wares takes a backseat to profit. scar takes a different approach, using his charisma (and large hat) to charm his way into acquiring scraps of land and valuable pieces of paper from people across the server. meanwhile, the main swaggon is overflowing with life, from bees to villagers, humming with almost as much energy as the man himself as he brings his little copper-roofed wagon all across the server. the rivalry was inevitable, and it didn't take long to crop up.

impulse's business ventures are as frenetic and varied as he is. iSoar scarcely goes up before lichen subscribe and iFloat surround it, with the candy factory to follow. impulse is the man who starts ten projects in ten episodes and finishes them ten episodes later, committing to everything wholeheartedly from massive pigmen farms to decorative patterns for an iron farm room. it's only fitting that he dots boatem with shops large and small, profitable and punny, which seem to have little to do with each other save for the iconic 'i' brand they carry.

cubfan doesn't build shops; he builds corners of delight, ventures to bring his servermates together. his slime casino accepts anything in payment; his powdered snow collective only costs iron to join. he doesn't look for diamonds; he looks for connection. I mean, he built a massive gaming district in his base last season which was free to play. with the... 7 people or so on the server running around trying to build up business empires or use underhanded tactics to gain an upperhand in the precious market, cub's presence is a tribute to the collaborative nature of server life. (which is hilarious considering he was 1/2 of the monopoly monster that was concorp haha)

just... thinking about hermitcraft s8 shops, and how perfectly they build the atmosphere of a lived-in world, how much they work to establish the characters the hermits play...

Emptober Day 13: Treasure

Pirates loved treasure. Taking it, collecting it, admiring it, as long as it was valuable, they loved it. The only reason that Princess Katherine knew that, was because she happened to have a pirate suitor. Pirate Joe. Katherine buried her face into her hands and groaned under her breath when she thought about it. He, for some reason, thought she was a pirate. She wasn't! Obviously! She was a princess! But that was besides the point. She shook her head and let out a huff, eying the harbor and relaxing when she didn't see him flying or boating towards her kingdom. Maybe she was safe for today.

"Oh pirate princess!"

She had spoken too soon. Letting out a sigh, she put down her shulker box of materials and sat down on it, looking up at Joe with a bored expression and a roll of her eyes. "Pirate Joe." She, at this point, was tired of him and his antics, and she was tired of being nice to him. She shouldn't have to be, right?

He kept coming by and she kept rejecting him, and it was a vicious cycle at this point.

"Well, I was just going treasure hunting, as usual.." He started, his tone bordering on feigned innocence. "And I found something simply beautiful! And I just knew that you'd like it."

Katherine did her best to not roll her eyes again. "Do you now... what is it?" The last time he said he knew she'd like something, it was a trident bigger than her. A trident that didn't belong to either of them. And now she was presented with some strange orb, probably something ocean related, she'd never seen it before.

"Uh,, Joey..? What is that?" She carefully took it in her hands, doing her best to be delicate with the strange orb.

"It's a heart of the sea!" Joe proclaimed, hands on his hips proudly as he looked at his newest find. "Don't you know what they are?"

"No?" Katherine found that a stupid question. She wouldn't be asking if she knew. But she held her tongue. "What is it?"

"Silly pirate princess." His tone seemed condescending, as it typically did when she didn't know something that she "should" know. 'Every pirate worth their salt knows what these are!"

Then obviously I'm not a pirate, Katherine thought, rolling her eyes. "That doesn't answer my question."

And he continued to not answer her question. He left her with the Heart of the Sea in her hands and flew off, not without flirting with her a bit more. She shook her head with a huff and got off the shulker box, opening it to continue working on her castle. The nerve of some pirates.

There was, of course, another object of the pirate's affection by now. The Sheriff was also being pursued by Joey. While Jimmy busied himself getting the gunpowder farm, Judy, back up and running, Joey decided to pay him a visit with a different kind of treasure.

"There we go.." The sheriff muttered and helped himself to his feet by grabbing onto one of the supports of the tower. "Atta girl.." He adjusted his hat with a grin as he stepped back, dusting his hands off and looking proudly up at the water tower.

"Yoo-hoo! Cowboy!"

And all at once, Jimmy's peace and confidence was interrupted by a grating voice, making him flinch in surprise and turn around with a grimace. Great. "You again? Listen, fella- I told ya t'leave me alone, didn' I?"

"They always play hard to get." Joey waved a hand dismissively and grabbed the bundle from around his waist. "No matter, I come baring a gift!" He beamed, untying the string and shoving the bag into the unwitting hands of the Sheriff.

Jimmy fumbled with it, but carefully peeked inside and... oh Sweet Pearl, it was a shit ton of iron. Which, Jimmy needed, and he wasn't sure how Joey knew about that. Maybe he didn't. Maybe this was some kind of strange coincidence.

"A little birdy told me you were in need of iron to finish your railroad!"

Maybe not.

"Well-" Jimmy cleared his throat. "Thanks- really-"

"But of course! And now, for my gift in return?" Jimmy was confused at that. Joey already had gunpowder, what more could he- "A kiss, maybe?" Oh. Fuck.

"Uhhh-" The Sheriff forced out a nervous laugh, his face blooming about as red as his tnt wagon. "Now- now hold on there-" He stammered, clearing his throat. "I don't-.. No thanks.."

"Oh, come on." Joey pouted. "Not even a little kiss?"

"No." Jimmy repeated. "Now go on- git goin'!"

Joey huffed, but complied and left. And Jimmy was left with the bundle of iron, confused and unsure if he should accept this. It was likely stolen, now that he thought about it. And probably from False. Great, now he'd have to go and apologize for this. Oh well, it forced him to actually go talk to her. So, reluctantly, he took his gift over to the crafting table.

Pirates loved treasure, but god, did the treasure really have to be stolen from other people?

Fluff

A/N: I use Xbox so these are Xbox controlls but feel free to change them as you see fit

Izuku sat on his bed flicking his eye's from the facetime with you to the screen in front of him continuously holding the right trigger on his controller and chewing his lip. "Wait what level do you find diamonds?" he asked glancing at his coordinates in the corner and you jumped around the world trying to escape a creeper "Fuck i'm gonna die! i'm gonna die! please NO!" you yelped and decided it was time to dig a hole in the ground and block it off. "Sorry, what did you ask?" you look at the phone propped up against your laptop and chuckle at Izuku's face scrunched up in concentration "uh, what level do you find diamonds" he repeated not taking his eye off the screen filled with grey stone blocks and dot's of black for coal. "12 to 14, usually 13 is like the best place"

You answered uncovering the hole you had dug in just as a creeper passed over you and fell into your 3 by 1 grave. "NOOO!" you screeched as the green mob flashed white and you tried to jump out of the inescapable hole for a final moments peace but to no avail. The unmistakable sound of a muffled explosion and the respawn screen, lighting your face up red and you let out a fake cry. "Did you die?" he asked despite the obvious answer. "Yeahh" you answered with a heavy sigh and respawned at home, grabbing a spare wooden sword and jumping over to the spot of your death. If nothing else you'd get a lot of dirt?

Izuku muttered about hitting his head off every block and you snickered "I mean at least you learned your lesson about digging straight down" he huffed and flailed his arms creating a cold air around him "it wasn't my fault no one told me I shouldn't dig straight down!" he had a point, yes, but still you had presumed that even he would know such a basic rule "I know, I know" you say nearing the site of the explosion and start sprinting ignoring the band of mobs chasing you.

"HOW IS MY STUFF STILL HERE. IT WAS LITERALLY NEXT TO ME?!" you yelped in surprise but ran around the area gathering your stuff and spammed the Y button, automatically gearing up and switched your sword to your hotbar along with your enchanted pickaxe and cooked chicken.

"Maybe the minecraft gods granted you... something?" Izuku laughed and popped out of his mine running to his furnace and dropping in a stack of Iron. "(y/n) I hear you need some cobblestone" Izuku said running to your house across from his and down the basement to your storage area. You groaned begrudgingly trying to fend off an army of spiders who had made it a personal goal of theirs to off you. "Izuku please don't contribute to the cobble chest. I'm begging you. I don't need more cobble" you whined sprinting away with 5x more Xp than you originally had. "Do you have lapiz?" you asked raking through his chests to find the blue material.

Izuku opened the chest almost full with cobble and finished it off with 12 more stacks, leaving one or himself. The green achievement bar popped up at the bottom of the screen "Chestful of cobblestone" and you clicked your tongue pushing your hands together like a prayer in front of your mouth "IZUKU. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I'M GOING TO BURN YOUR COBBLE. STOP GIVING ME COBBLE, THAT GOES FOR ALL THE REST OF THE BOYS TOO!" your shouting could be heard throughout the dorm and some of the other minecraft players snickered to themselves.

Anytime, they had a stack or so of cobble, they would put it in one of your chests and it became a running joke for them to go "Hey (y/n) I heard you needed more cobble" and shove it in the chest despite your begging them not to. You had 3 chests of cobble but never got the achievement because you had burned the first 2 chestfulls before they could finish it off.

"Yes I have lapiz just give me a sec" he answered after your threat and jumped over to you. Meeting in front of your pumpkin farm you were jumping on. "If you fall you're gonna trample your crops" he said and you shrugged "that's what I have a diamond hoe for duh" you say in a bragging way as if having a diamond hoe of all things really just showed your wealth. You jumped off the pumpkin successfully not landing on your crops and spun around in front of Izuku as he threw lapiz at you "Is this what it's like to be a stripper" you chuckled and Izuku snorted at your joke. "Okay that's enough" you say, stopping him from throwing anymore and bouncing off to your enchantment table.

"I can't believe you had 4 extra diamonds and you made an enchantment table and a hoe" he sighed grabbing all the iron from his furnace and spinning to the crafting table to make a new pickaxe and a bucket for milk. He was determined to make a cake just as much as getting diamonds but there was a lack of cows due to bakugo's anger issues when he was in the server. "What would you even have done with them!?" "I COULD HAVE BOOTS (y/n)!" he shouted back and you purse your lips. He could have had boots...

"Okay well I'm sorry I'm rich and have full diamonds" you shrug and he looked up from his controller looking straight forward pinching the bridge of his nose "your a bitch" he laughed and started back down his mineshaft complaining about the steps hitting his head again. "You love me really" you chuckle and he rolls his eyes with a smile "yeah I know" you glance at the facetime and smile, 8 hours, 29 minutes 43 seconds you'd been on a call just playing minecraft in the server you ran for "the lads" as it had been dubbed.

"OOH IZUKU I JUST GOT FORTUNE 3 ON MY DIAMOND PICKAXE!" you exclaim, celebrating by jumping up and down. "Sweet! You're gonna have endless coal!" he laughed and you punched the air excitedly "so much Xp!" "we have an Xp farm" he retaliated and you pouted "Let me be exited" you whined and he awed "sorryyy" he said dragging it out for effect and you huffed "better be."

Izuku's inventory quickly filled with cobble, coal, and iron again, the occasional redstone for Xp and fuck gold, gold sucks. He stumbled into a cave, a platform of stone and on each side was a pool of lava. But Izuku's eyes lit up and he gasped "OH MY GOD!" he shouted digging through the wall to get to the prize. "WHAT!" you shouted back, busy breeding the chickens and throwing eggs in the overcrowded pen. "Sorry but some of you guys have gotta go" you muttered brandishing your iron sword, specifically named "the chicken killer" since you didn't want to waste your diamond sword on chickens. "DIAMONDS!" he shouted back building a platform around the edge of the lave he could walk on and building under the diamonds for safety.

"OH OH MY GOD WAIT THERE AND I'LL MINE THEM FOR YOU!" you say abandoning the chickens and jumping over to his house again. "wait why. This is my moment I've literally never found diamonds and you're gonna take them from me" he asked looking at the phone, your face twisted with concentration. "Because I have fortune 3 and I can make 8 diamonds like 24" you said. "can I mine these ones and tell you when I find more instead I want to mine my own first diamonds." you stopped at the entrance jumping up and down in frustration "okay fine"

As Izuku ventured further into the cave earning probably half a new chest worth of cobble he shouted for you. "I found more diamonds." you immediately sprang into life holding the left stick to go down quicker. "Okay yeah this is really inconvenient" you agreed about bumping your head on the way down and landed at his shaft. "Uhh which way am I going" you asked. "Left" he said. You followed the trail of torches and Izuku's name tag that got bigger the closer you were eventually running into the same square as him. "Move back I can't see" you instructed and he scooted backwards.

You swung the enchanted pickaxe collecting the aqua gems and throwing them at izuku. "That's like 20 something," you said, shrugging at the phone and running off back home. "That was 28" he said running after you to finally make his full iron armor and tools "I have 33 in total" he grabbed sticks from his unorganised chests that you despised and for the first time, made diamond armor in minecraft.

"Oh my god he's wearing BLUE! It doesn't match your colour scheme" you cried shielding your eyes and looking away. "Sorry (y/n) let me just dye my diamonds green real quick" he said, throwing an emerald at you and you feigned shock. "A MIRACLE. TRULY"

"Okay I wanna enchant it" he said following you to the enchantment table. "We do have those enchanted books if you want something specific?" you said but he shook his head "nah i'm doing it old fashioned" he said standing at the enchantment table and taking his time going through, enchanting each item with its purple iridescence.

"What did you get?" you asked, jumping around him excitedly and he hovered over each item. "Respiration on the helmet, projectile protection and unbreaking, wait I got unbreaking as well?" he asked looking at you through the facetime "it does that sometimes" you shrugged and he raised his eyebrows and hummed with the newfound knowledge. "Those on chestplate, protection on the jeans-" "leggings" "whatever, and feather falling on the boots" he said putting all his armor back on and going over his tools "efficiency on the pickaxe, efficiency on the axe, unbreaking on the hoe, unbreaking on the shovel, and fire aspect on the sword" he said stabbing a chicken that immediately went up in flames. "Roast chicken for life!" you cheered.

"Okay you have your full diamond now come to the nether" you said standing in the swirling portal and Izuku whined. "Literally what for!" he asked standing next to you despite his disinterest and the loading screen popped up. "For that Xp, gotta get that nether quartz" you said jumping to a clump of nether quartz and letting the green spheres fall on you watching the bar go up. "(y/n) What's the bridge for?" he asked walking over to the bridge ignoring the magma slime jumping toward you.

"What bri- AGH FUCK NO NO YOU CUBE FUCKING BITCH THINK YOU CAN JUMP ON ME LIKE I'M SOME WHORE WHO DO YOU THINK I AM" (A real thing i've said playing minecraft with my friends) he turned around just as the magma divided into 4 then each of those into another 4 until there were none. "Don't go on that bridge you will absolutely die" you warned and he backed up onto the bridge anyway. You were surprised he even made it halfway before a ghast needed to tell him his place and shoot him right into the neon orange below. "YOUR FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT"

Bonus content

Kaminari, bakugo, and kirishima all joined the call loading up minecraft not expecting to get an earful of your abuse to Izuku who was crying into his controller "I FUCKING TOLD YOU NOT TO GO ON THE BRIDGE BECAUSE A GHAST WOULD KNOCK YOU OFF BUT WHAT DID YOU DO. GO ON THE BRIDGE. I LITERALLY JUST GOT YOU THOSE DIAMONDS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME YOU BROCCOLI. I WASTED MY FORTUNE BUFF ON YOU."

You loved him really. But you would never be taking him to the nether again.

A/n: What is your relationship with Izuku here? That's for you to decide. Also these are all things that have happened to me while in minecraft with my friends.

STRAY KIDS AS TYPES OF MINECRAFT PLAYERS—

(yes, i made that. no, i don't take constructive criticism)

warnings: mild swearing, mentions of vi*lence and k*lling i guess??? idk man its minecraft

this is the weirdest idea i've ever come up with but here we gooooo

chan

- super responsible (would we expect anything less from our leader???)

- goes mining and collects food, then shares it out equally between the other players

- although he makes himself a secret cake once in a while

- builds his own house, it's probably not the best but it's small and cute and homely with LOTS of storage chests

- loves building his house around villages bc he can trade and protect them

- he also likes to talk to the iron golem

- "good morning kind sir"

- lowkey carries the others through the game

minho

- little shit #1

- probably vegetarian and has a lot of pets

- we're talking 10,000 cats, a couple dogs which he regularly sets on people, and probably a parrot

- would cry if any of his pets died

- LOVES the nether, but is careful around lava bc once cat #84927 died bc of it

- has a MASSIVE melon farm and lives in the jungle bc pANDAS

changbin

- would be a pro miner, idk why but he would

- spends most of the time strip mining and would live in a cave somewhere

- decked out in full diamond armour and tools

- gets really excited about the ancient debris update but doesn't rlly like the nether (not enough caves and hates ghasts) so it takes him ages before he braves it

- when he does, he immediately gets full netherite armour and tools

- probably will trade ores with you if you ask but prefers to trade with villagers and barter with piglins

hyunjin

- exclusively plays on servers bc he doesn't like survival

- (his pet horse died in a ravine once and he's never played it since)

- is REALLY good at parkour and hide+seek

- is also rlly good at hunger games/ skywars but feels bad and apologises in the chat whenever he kills someone

- is over dramatic if he loses but thats okay bc he doesn't lose often

- probably spent ages choosing his skin

jisung

- little shit #2

- (it's sungie, what did you expect?)

- when he plays on creative, he just runs around destroying builds and setting villages alight

- "your building was bad so i saved us all the pain of looking at it"

- but then helps them to rebuild it but better this time (bc jisung is bestest boy and i love him)

- when on survival, he messes around by hitting iron golems, running into danger, etc

- but he's actually rlly good at the game, this boy just doesn't care

- HATES the nether with a burning (haha) passion so minho and felix have to carry him through it

felix

- you know how this is gonna go

- i'm a hundred percent convinced that he already plays minecraft, so felix or chan, if either of u are reading this on ur secret accounts, pls hit me up and give me felix's gamertag

- REALLY good at pvp, mostly bc he screams down the headset a lot of the time and distracts his opponent

- prefers servers and speedrunning to chill gaming

- although he does have a massive survival world that he started ages ago that has loads of good stuff in it

- has probably completed the game over 50 times

- built a house in the nether when the nether update was released

- prefers to play alone, but if he plays with other people he is rlly competitive, but at the same time he brings u flowers and food if u need it

seungmin

- oh how i would love to play minecraft with seungmin

- best builder on both creative and survival

- mostly bc of his patience, i mean, he lives with skz after all so he must have a lot of it

- has an eye for aesthetics, which is also why he's good

- he rlly likes medieval style houses?? although he did build a modern city once

- is actually rlly good at pvp like in skywars bc he has ZERO mercy

- sings whilst he's playing and it sounds amazing but it's SO distracting

- "seungmin i love ur voice but this guy is l i t e r a l l y about to kill me and ur not helping"

jeongin

- ah, our final member of the little shit line—little shit #3

- actually he'd probably be rlly good and peaceful at the game

- but if you do anything to annoy him? oh boy

- probably would kill ur pets and set ur house on fire

- so be careful

- oh and he hates pvp (hence the use of fire) so whenever there's monsters he hits them, then runs away and gets the other player to kill them for him

- probably has a massive animal farm and names the animals

- feels bad when he kills them but does it anyway

- has a rlly weird skin and regularly changes it

- "is that an ewok??"

DLH: CH9:

The Witter's Halloween party turned out great. Of course, there were assortments of pastries, with a couple healthy items that Kate had snuck in. Since Halloween isn't Halloween without candy, there were bowls full at every wall and corner of the recreation hall. Steve wasn't able to get drunk, and Kiera wasn't allowed to touch a bottle, a rule which Kiera and Lindsay scowled at over their red cups of red punch.

The girls found company with Lindsay's social circle from school. The boys recognized Kiera as the prettiest in the picture, and Kiera played her part as Peggy to warn them off. She wasn't too cold with them, as ultimately she accepted a dance with one of the boys, which Steve noticed. He watched over his pretend little sister like a real older brother. Alan Witter saw Steve being all broody and lonesome, and made his way over to chat.

"Tired of the party, old man!" He landed a hard pat on Steve's shoulder.

The name made the WWII vet chuckle.

"No, no! I'm having fun. Been a long time since, actually. Taking a break, is all," Steve was honest.

Alan stood shoulder to shoulder with Steve, and they both saw the same view.

"Your sister's fit in great!" Alan noticed.

"Yeah, she does that. Sees the best in everyone."

Alan caught the subtlety in his comment.

"Hey, if you ever have boy trouble, you let me know. I'm, well, Katie and I are part of the PTA. Though I don't doubt for a second you couldn't handle it yourself."

"Actually, I think Kiera can take care of herself all her own pretty well!" He took a sip and smiled at his sister as she saw him.

"Yes she can! And that leaves you with no excuse what so ever!"

"For what?" Steve failed to catch on.

"Come on! A chap like you, single? I just can't see it."

"Didn't think I was anyone's type."

"What? You gonna hold on to that till you're 70?" Alan intended that as a joke, but it struck Steve close.

"You know what, maybe 70 years is a little too late," Steve told Alan, from experience, then took a swig of his bottle.

"Exactly! My man, I've got every single girl coworker of mine asking for your number!" Alan cheered him on.

"You didn't actually give it to them, did you!" Steve joined the conversation.

"Buddy, I can do you one better. I'm gonna be your wing man tonight!" Alan swung an arm over Steve's neck and led him to the floor.

"Al, really," Steve tried to resist, failing in his attempt.

"No, seriously. Now hurry up before Kate catches us!"

By the end of the night, both Steve and Kiera had landed a couple phone numbers, taken a lot of photos, and stuffed themselves till thanksgiving. The trio-consisting of Steve's captain America, Sam's howling commando, and Kiera's Peggy Carter- came second in the costume competition, loosing first place to an old man dressed as a mesh of Hugh Hefner and Larry King. Kate Witter took their photo and uploaded it on her blog from a neighborhood in Washington D.C, and it was immediately registered by an A.I. in upstate New York.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Life as usual returned to Asgard; farmers farmed, welders welded, the warriors warred, and the royals attended to guests and business. On one occasion, Odin invited delegates from another kingdom to talk trades and treaties, and in their honor, Valhalla hosted a masquerade ball.

Prince Thor was delighted, hosting a feast with unlimited mead and beautiful maidens who threw themselves at him. Lady Sif wanted to throw those same women 50 yards away from her betrothed, perhaps into the arms of the warriors three, and she had the strength to do just that. But the Goddess of war knew how to keep her soul at peace, masking her ire behind a fake smile. As did the other prince; Loki. He didn't have the heart for infidelity, nor a mind for mead and politics, but the God of Mischief had a tongue silver enough to deceive the truest of believers.

The celebrated night offered nothing that amused the Prince of MIschief, ironically, not until he saw her. She made an impressive attempt to hide herself behind the biggest mask with the highest feathers, but her hair betrayed her. Even pinned close to her scalp in buns and ringlets, it was the whitest gold he'd ever seen. Loki watched her from his throne as she laughed and twirled with other maidens, as her nimble fingers brought food to her mouth. And he watched with jealousy when other men made their failed attempts at her.

Even Thor made his advances on lady Sigyn, but she politely refused him. This of course earned him some laughs and taunts, but the crown prince let nothing affect his pride. Thor laughed it off, even directed his attention to his brother, and quickly realized he was not the subject of his brother's gaze. Thor followed Loki's sight to the lady in the white and green dress, and went up to pass on some brotherly advice.

"Agh! I would have expected the God of Mischief to have the night of his life at a masquerade!" He leaped steps up to the throne but Loki sat as he was, unfazed, staring at the crowd with his chin on his hand.

"And you pine for the beauty of the ball. Go for it, my little brother! Tonight is a night of socially acceptable misdemeanor, and you waste it sulking away on your throne. Go snare your rabbit, my hound, and while you're at it, catch me one as well."

Thor stood there proud of himself, but his brother didn't move an inch. As Thor patted Loki on the back, his hand went through the enchanted image of his brother, which twitched and disappeared upon being disturbed. Thor awkwardly skimmed a hand over his head then fixed himself and went to join the festivities again.

"I suppose you don't need my help after all, enh?"

Loki stalked her from among the crowd as Sigyn went about meeting people and picking small fruits to eat. Her weaving pattern became more prominent and Loki supposed he'd been caught, but never the less he tailed her.

Sigyn looked over her shoulder suddenly and Loki hid behind a taller fellow. When the man moved, there was a messy crowd now where Sigyn had been a second before. Loki rushed into it, not caring who he bumped into, turning the masqued maidens toward him to see if any of them were her. He caught a glimpse of her feathers and swam towards it, and Sigyn stopped at the garden doors to see if he was still following. Loki didn't bother walking anymore, and instead ported himself at the garden stairs. He caught her dress tail disappearing down a path, and with a sly smirk, teleported himself to appear ahead of her, and she bumped into him while expecting him to be following her.

Loki trapped her in his arms and spoke to her breathlessly,

"Caught you!" he said.

He pried the masque from her face but the maiden gawking back at him was not Lady Sigyn. Loki immediately released her embarrassed, and the woman backed away with fear and curtseyed.

"Forgive me, your highness! I was only acting under orders!" she cried expecting reprimand.

"Off you go!" Said the prince, and with a twist of his hand, had the woman smoked back to the party.

A resounding laughter took his attention and he shifted to see Lady Sigyn laughing uncontrollably, amused by his plight.

Loki sternly walked over to her, intent on showing disapproval, but her laugh was catchy, and finally he relented, chuckling himself as he approached her.

"That was very childish of you," he chided with his best attempt to keep a stern look on his face

"Some may even call it mischevious!" she puffed her chest and boldly announced, leaving the usually silver tongued God of Mischief speechless.

Within a second, Loki reached for Sigyn's arm and held it against her back as her front was tightly pressed against his. He lowered his head closer to her as he spoke next.

"Then I suppose you'll do just fine being wed to the God of Mischief!" he breathed over her mouth, and for a moment it seemed Sigyn would let him kiss her, but then a sly smirk crept up her face. Sigyn released her arms from his grasp and, picking up her skirt, she ran towards the maze.

She looked back over her shoulder only once, to taunt him. "Catch me, and you can have me!"

As Loki ran after her into the maze, intent on snaring his rabbit, his mother looked on from the top of the garden stairs, overjoyed by her son's newfound happiness and what his near future had in store.

Animalogic 6 to 8 minute explorations of wild animals and plants. It's basically Nature/Nova/90's Animal Planet but YouTube style.

How Ridiculous 3 Australian Idiots do MythBusters but without the science. I recommend the Tower Videos Playlist to get started.

Folding Ideas Well known video essays, most recent success was the complete debunking of cryptocurrency and NFTs, 2 hours titled Line Goes Up. Balding white man in his late 30's, very leftist.

LA Beast A big bearded idiot destroys his body mostly by eating extreme foods, sometimes attempting to break world records, you may have seen the short clip of him sticking his hand into a jar of clear liquid and then screaming. Before doing the dangerous thing he always says his catch phrase, "Have a good day!" I have no idea why I enjoy watching this man be in pain but... I do. Gross but fascinating. Recommend just sorting videos by most popular.

HOLD UP I just realized I could do this

All of u following me who happen to see this post, please reblog or reply with your favorite video essays or like… soothing videos (people making things or cooking things), or anything that’s nice to watch when I can only lie still like a pupating caterpillar holding a mug of tea. I could keep rewatching my favorite videos and the full series of the Japanese version of “How It’s Made”, that’s been going good so far, but I should get some variety. Thank you!

So it's been a while since I last posted anything. I'm still here, just been busy with work and the likes. Anyhow, my minecraft update as was promised. I am playing on 1.12.2 still, and my seed is a mean one, supposed to be one of the scariest seeds in the game. That's right, my seed is 666. Don't ask me why I chose it, but anyhow, I am in the process of moving my house to a slime chunk that I found, here I will be doing a slime farm. For a slime farm you need iron blocks, pumpkins and jack o lanterns. Oh and a bunch of rails and magma blocks. Suppose I will finally be going to the nether, which I dislike but it's quite necessary. Playing as Alex, not as a custom avatar or anything like that, but I am tempted to get the dragonborn skin for her. Well, there you have it! Peace out for now

I would like to insert some perspective here as someone who started the DSMP from the Dream Team's perspective. When you watch the story with context of Sapnap's trial, the rules of the SMP (things like, no iron farm and whatnot), or the mere construction of it you are not inclined to side with Tommy or Wilbur at the start who really come off as rule breaking troublemakers disrupting the peace. And I think by having that perspective it lead me to already see Wilbur as quite manipulative from the start and view his policies as...strange at best.

Especially from the perspective of someone who's indigenous watching Wilbur go on his "anti-American" rants, while funny, was borderline reminiscent of Manifest Destiny rhetoric. And my thoughts at the time were, "classic the white man declares he's oppressed and steals land from the native Americans who are there" (because at the time you could definitely argue the Dream Team as being indigenous to the Dream SMP) and while it was more of a inside joke for me, myself, and I it really did stand out to me.

Wilbur's character starts the story being very morally ambiguous and power hungry. I think a lot of people forget that in the drug van episode he and Tommy are literally trying to scam people out of their items instead of getting it on their own. Or the fact that Wilbur is vocally xenophobic throughout the creation of L'Manburg and even well into the existence of L'Manburg, a reason which would later lead to Quacktiy opposing him and forcing Wilbur to actually fight against an opponent when he initially was intending to rig an election.

All these aspects pointing to a character who is by all accounts an authoritarian dictator who engaged in literal colonialism.

BUT I also did become sympathetic to L'Manburg, specifically Tommy's L'Manburg, and for the longest time I always felt that Tommy was the true heart of that country. Someone who blindly believed in the values that Wilbur preached. Perhaps not the xenophobia or desire for power but rather the idea of freedom and liberty. And that Wilbur had the best intentions for this country despite all evidence pointing otherwise.

And one of the key aspects of Tommy's character is that while Wilbur plays up charisma as a gimmick to get people to do what he wants Tommy is genuinely charismatic or perhaps...is so genuine is the things he does that it leads people to believe in what he believes as well. Even if those things are, realistically, not for the best.

L'Manburg didn't have value because Wilbur preached freedom. It's because Tommy was willing to sacrifice something he valued in order to obtain it's independence.

So much like the OP (of this tumblr post) says, L'Manburg was special because of the people that comprised it, not because of Wilbur. (Even more so if you're the kind of person who likes to imagine that us viewers were like normal civilians of the country).

I could go on an entire rant on how I believe current Wilbur's much of Wilbur's actions after the election and especially his treatment towards Tommy actually stemmed from a place of deep-seated jealousy because Tommy achieves what Wilbur wants to achieve despite being this "dumb incompetent child" which leads Wilbur to put Tommy down to make himself feel better...but that is not the point of this post so I will save that for a later date.

I think @call-me-apple said it best: His "concern over" being the bad guys" isn't only a concern, but also an admission of guilt.

While I don't think Wilbur initially intended to take the role of a villain I think that he pretty quickly realized that his character was no moral paragon. Far from it even. And I think he realized pretty quickly that c!Wilbur was in fact, quite a shitty dude.

And this is really common in RP situations, especially if you're a beginner to things like TTRPG, where you start the story off as just dudes goofing off but it turns out goofing around has consequences. I mean TAZ: Balance is a really good example of this and something I often find myself drawing parallels as far as story creation is concerned. It turns out noobs who are making up the rules as we go along can make for some pretty interesting and engaging narratives.

I would also argue that I don't think Wilbur was ever supposed to be something like Trump. If anything his character did, unintentionally, end up leaning into the "leftist revolutionary who doesn't actually believe in the cause" trope. A dictator who has no problem espousing ideas of freedom and liberty, preaching against violence and promoting peace, and appealing to the values that many people have. Fortunately, due to the existence of Puffy and Techno and the syndicate (...I guess /j) Wilbur manages to not villainize leftist politics but rather a specific kind of person we can find in there.

So, if anything, I feel he's more like an Obama who just happened to be a dictator as well. (President!Tubbo also gives me Obama vibes but again I don't want to go on tangents so I will save that rant for a later date).

But outside of assigning presidential factkins to the characters I think that this point is relevant to Apple's point that, Wilbur definitely was doing a propaganda. And people definitely bought into that propaganda.

Essentially: both points are true to some extent with the right nuances.

As far as Techno is concerned: unfortunately I think he is a hypocrite...just not because of the anarchism and more because he does a thing my mom likes to call ✨selective listening✨.

thoughts on this one guys? /gen

stuff like this always makes me feel mildly anxious because it makes me feel stupid for interpreting things differently, but i genuinely am open to changing my mind if you guys think this is more accurate to canon

*for reference i am what would be called a l’manberg loyalist. also i do not think techno represented anarchy in a very positive light
