Do you ever wonder if someday d20s will be used as a divining instrument? Like the practice of rolling a d20 for success or failure is already so widespread, and it's already used ironically to refer to real life scenarios, so we can absolutely see it making the leap to superstition and eventually even to a standard means of divination, complete with symbolism and interpretation.

what fic/au were you working on most recently, what is it about, and how did you come up with it?

Hi Rose!!! Omg okay so. I have transed so many genders. Because I am trans and it's fun lol

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from fic writing up until very recently, but a few weeks ago I pulled a year-old concept out of the depths of my Google drive and now it once again has a chokehold on me </3

The background is this: Ysione (Evil Xisuma) was sent off of Hermitcraft to make friends because the only people they ever talked to willingly were Xisuma and Zedaph. While out, they discover a fun server plugin that swaps the sex of whomever it affects and is mainly used for... Private servers of a certain persuasion. They decide that it would be a fun prank to send to their brother unannounced.

...Except that when the worm he made drops its payload, it spreads and affects everyone on hermitcraft and resists attempts to remove it.

Oops...?

That all happens off page.

On page are the rest of the hermits in various stages of glee and/or severe distress. The hermits that already knew they were trans (i.e., Grian, Gem) are having a great time. Cis hermits range from using the plugin for its intended purposes (Keralis and xB lmao), to vague but manageable discomfort (False, Impulse), to suffering (Doc and Etho), to having a gender crisis (Tango). I have a whole spreadsheet to keep track of how different hermits have reacted to the plugin :D If anyone is curious about how a particular hermit reacted I can and will infodump at a moment's notice.

The story is all about friendship, community, body image, gender identity, and mutual support. Even when they're Going Through It, I wanted the overall impression of the story to be gentle and feel-good.

I like words that make writing haikus easier. icosohedron

what, you got beef with my boy the icosohedron?

not the icosohedron.....

magical icosohedron

istg in the whole season wednesday is just getting caught in this love truncated icosohedron

[nerdypagan1]

you say "what else would they be 3d versions of", but why do they have to be 3d versions of anything? an icosohedron isn't a 3d anything, for instance. it's just an icosohedron.

but really it was just the first thing that came to mind for a generalisation in n dimensions. kind of a bad one, I'll admit.

I don't necessarily agree with this but it has such a mathematical quality to it somehow

Stellated Dodecahedron and icosohedron respectively

One of my favorite things I've cut in the past few years. A 16.85ct Ametrine Icosohedron or D20 dice typically used for role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. I plan on cutting some more of these but they will typically be pretty small compared to a standard die and won't have numbers on them.

Hoping to start playing with the world tesselation project that's been kicking around for a few months now... First, however, it's good to make sure which triangles border which other triangles. . #worldtesselation #icosohedron #mapprojection #numbering #measuretwicecutonce #1234567891011121314151617181920 https://www.instagram.com/p/CMX-vbjFs0g/?igshid=moeumbhq32ay

Trying to get back to the @mindhue world tesselation project...

reasons to vote rhombicosidodecahedron:

one of the largest archimedian solids!

vertex-transitive, so each point where 4 faces meet is identical to the rest!

the cantellation of a dodceahedron or an icosohedron, depending on how u look at it

the best 3D shape (im biased)

reasons to vote butter:

useful ingredience!!

square prism, very shaped

good on a bagel

tot2023: wave 5

round 3, match 56

[id: two pictures. the first shows a green render of a rhombicosidodceahedron, a polyhedra with triangular, square and pentagonal faces, the second 3 sticks of butter. end id.]

Mattel should make different versions of the Magic 8 Ball that have different answers in different proportions. The standard 8 Ball uses an icosohedron, a 20-sided die, with answers printed on the faces; 10 are affirmative, 5 are non-committal, and 5 are negative. They should make a Tragic 8 Ball that has more No's then Yes's, or a DND tie-in that uses a regular d20 with numbers on it so you can "roll" it for your campaign, or platonic solids with different numbers of faces like a dodecahedron (12) or an octahedron (8). They could make a Lucky 7 Ball or an Unlucky 13 Ball, a Magic Cue that gives fortune cookie fortunes instead of yes-or-no answers, a whole set of 16 Magic Pool Balls that could be the exact same as the 8 just with different skins like collector's items (if the company really wanted to be insidious, they could sell them in blind boxes so you would have to buy dozens to find all 16)

I think a Magic Chalk Cube would be hilarious.

There are so many options; Mattell, hire me!

[ID: A photo of Q and her husband Sam. They’re lying together on a couch, side by side, and both wearing the same shirt featuring the D&D logo inside a rainbow-colored outline of an icosohedron. Text at the bottom of the image reads “At least we’re twinning.” /end ID]
