So there is a post going around with a realy suspicious map, and OP of the post has me blocked so here is a link to their post since I cannot reblog it.

Okay so, I looked into this as from my own experience the map looked suspicious.

The orignal post of the map has been deleted. You can find the deleted post on reddit about it here.

I managed to find a repost of the map on tumblr, which had linked to the deleted reddit post, and you can find the repost of the orignal map here. Now onto debunking OP's claim of the map.

The title of the map is not solely about the west bank, it is about full john oliver episodes being unavailable in countries. Not just the west bank episode, all full episodes.

When I try to watch the video, i get the below error from youtube

Yep your eyes do see correctly. It is the uploader who made it unavailable. This means that either John Oliver himself, his production team or HBO who has the rights to his show, decided to make his content not available to be viewed in certain countries.

A comment on the reddit post which I think people should read is

"The title of this post makes many people think OP means ‘countries that have banned this’. Instead, this is just ‘countries where a network pays for the broadcast rights for this show’. The highlighted countries are ones where the show is most popular. The blank countries are where it’s not popular, so they give it away for free to try to drum up support"

Aka this is not purposeful censorship by (((zionists)) like tumblr op is trying to frame it. Its not keeping what happens in the west bank a secret. It is a decision made by someone in charge of the show, to make as much money as possible. Which still sucks! But, it sucks for different reasons than what tumblr OP is alluding to.

3. Tumblr OP is being antisemitic. Whilst it is definately written in a more subtle way, it is still invoking the whole "jews control the media" trope. A well known antisemitic trope is still antisemitic even if "jew" is replaced with "zionist". This is because whilst not every use of "zionist" is a proxy word of jew, it happens more than you think, to the point where meta (instagram and facebook) updated their hate speech policy to puroposefully include "zionist when its being used as proxy (aka dogwhistle) for jew is now hate speech on our platform". Meta still allows it to be used when talking about zionism as a political ideology, and have only banned the use of it as a proxy for jew.

OP of this post has already blocked me (only found out when i saw this post), so I wanna thank @coffeeconcentrate for reblogging this and not having me blocked so I can actually have a chance at reaching even a small group of people to make them aware of this so they don't fall for this poorly made post.

Okay, I looked up Matura and correct me if I’m wrong, but this is how I understood it. You need to take this exam to, basically, prove you completed and understand everything from elementary to high school. After proving and passing this, then and only then are you allowed to enter college? And it doesn’t matter how old you are when you take the matura. So you can be in your eighties and take it if you want.

All of your assumptions are correct!

People can take and re-take Matura exams at any point in their adult life... and yes, there are plenty of adults that take their Matura exams later in life, either as something they require for their careers, wanted to finally attend college/uni or for their own growth/satisfaction (as a LOT of people regret not taking the exams right after finishing school).

There are two basic requirements to be able to take Matura exams: finishing high school/trade school (so if someone is a high-school dropout they have to finish special course which equates as attending/finishing high school) and being 18+.

Most students take Matura exam right after finishing high/trade schools (at ages 18-20) so it's often called the "maturity exam" as it's often viewed as a rite of passage into adulthood and cutting the a proverbial "umbilical cord" with the school system that kept them under strict supervision for all those years.

Without Matura (or it's international counterpart) you can't apply to any Polish university/college, as the exams prove that a graduate finished the secondary education at a certain level with government issued standardized testing.

Back in the day, having a Matura diploma was not so common as it is today. One of the factors that changed the attitude towards this exam is that employers nowadays require passed Matura exams at many job applications, even as early as at the entry level positions, especially if the career path could morph into more independent/management-oriented later on.

Since Matura is not a requirement some people don't take it right after high school either due to personal/health reasons or other circumstances. Of course those people are not lesser than! However they would often have a hard time finding better paid jobs as many opportunities will be unavailable to them.

"What's the purpose of the #indirect archival tag?"

Multiple things but mainly if the original post is unavailable or if the OP of the post would be uncomfortable with this blog directly interacting with it.

In these cases I'll simply post a Wayback Machine link to the post and put it in the archival tags. This is because this blog is devoted to archiving everything for the benefit of all Intersex people and those trying to research Intersex-specific terminology.

Obviously I'm not claiming to have created anything in the #indirect archival tag. I'm literally just here to archive things ^^

( I only make my stances on certain things known so I won't be harassed and because I want my blogs to clearly be a safe space for all Intersex folk. Especially those of us with complicated or fluid experiences related to or caused by our variations! )

Sometimes people request for me to archive posts I'm not comfortable directly interacting with- or which aren't on Tumblr directly- so they can source it, so this is a policy I've made for them as well!

"why do you put all of those posts into the reblogs of this one? why not make them individual posts?"

this is mainly to avoid flooding related main tags and because I don't want to get accused of "stealing credit" for posting a wayback machine link ( which captures the entire post with credit and changes nothing on it btw )

each reblog still has it's own individual, cite-able link, and you'll still be able to find it in my tags!

Hello valued mutual-in-law (I am the twitter mutual of Matt’s whose friend is long term essaying with him over curiouscat, for context); I just wanted to say I just read your writing on disability within enstars you linked in reply to one of the curiouscat exchanges (which I’ve been reading bc I like seeing what both people involved have to say) + the post about guardianship re: the Merus that it linked to. Just wanted to say thanks for writing it all because it was really insightful — particularly the Sakuma segment, because I’m not very well-versed on the two of them and especially not with Rei, who I’m mostly acquainted to through being a casual enjoyer of the oddballs’ group dynamic, as well as a 2winkP (the latter of which provides sort of complicated feelings on him based on Setsubun & its aftermath, or general lack thereof that’s only really brought up in Nightclub from what i’ve seen do far;;). Like I did know to a basic degree about the Wagahai & Orei selves being personas but the detail in which you went into them + the way his disability affects him & his relationship with Ritsu really gave me some new insight on him & a motivation to learn more up on him.

Tldr; I enjoyed your thoughts and writings on the mixed bag of disability representation in enstars, thank you for writing all that it was nice insight, and it helped me understand the Sakumas — particularly Rei — better. Good posts op

HIIII holy shit, thank you so much for reading them. JUST HOW FAST WERE YOU.... i am really happy to hear you liked them!!! its just a lot of rambling but i love to yap + i love when others yap and it introduces me to a new perspective...... in my mind were holding hands and dancing in a meadow <:)

genuinely, i think no one can be immune to the oddballs, right. theyre just good. see.... my partner is a shuP and my bestie is a natsumeP and matt is a wawaP and i am a rei guy by necessity and ..... THIS IS HOW I KNOW NOTHIONG ABOUT KANATA.... i feel like often orienting oneself around enstars as a series is extremely about picking like a handful of charas to major in and knowing people who are into everyone else so you experience enough secondhand lore LOL

i extremely get you though, rei is not sympathetic. i am on pc but what i mean is 2winkP handshake emoji kogaP = Fuck That Guy

i could talk about rei (and ritsu for that matter. tho i havent read that much about him) in the context of disability forever.... and it feels important because it is an angle that discussion about him is just EXTREMELY lacking. it often feels like barely anyone bothers to think about how much being ill shapes his person, his relationships, his job, his actions.... and i cant really blame people either because they probably havent made the necessary experiences to really internalize how big of a deal that is...

and narratively..... there is a big trend of characters being very lenient with him and basically thanking him for being.... extraordinarily condescending, nosy, emotionally unavailable, and actively a danger for everyone involved. the worst examples that instantly come to mind for me are repayfes, setsubun (as you mentioned), and dont even get me started on hidden beast.

+ often hes some sort of deus ex machina plot device for lazy writing and its SO obnoxious.

setsubun specifically is so weird because i understand and support his weird cartoon villain act (as in, its engaging to read and an interesting manifestation of his issues) and obviously i LOVE the drama of characters being unwell and causing issues for others that way... conflict is great... but the way the twins react to it purely positively at the end is just a really disappointing. like i dont expect them to truly nail that hinata almost died an hour ago but come on. (ig sandstorm tries to pick up there....) also sort of why i never brought anything in there about being "monstrous" and how "monsters are created" up in my disability post.... really really fits the topic and a lot of it is coming from the horses (reis) mouth but the context hinata and yuta experience it in is just an entirely different one. hm....

its sort of a similar deal with himeru, right. narratively i am disappointed. they dont get chewed out by the people i want. and hes doing evil shit. but then i see him and i go :( thats my funny menhera man.......

[nezuchuuko]

i did a little bit of a research dive because i posted something, and whenever i post some natsume information presented as fact, i must always fact check myself out of habit. not that i don't otherwise fact check myself but for natsume i can get a little intense about it.... i don't like to give out misinfo and my double life is that i run a natsume blog ajf;kl

anyways one bit of info that fans will sometimes mention is how hiroshi kamiya's cat is named after nyanko-sensei, showing how big of a natsume fan he is. upon quick search i found a reddit post that linked to a youtube video where his cat is apparently named "nya-san" i couldn't watch it cause it was unavailable, but in the comment section someone corrected the reddit op, saying that the cat's name is actually nyanko-sensei.

then i found a japanese article where he apparently mentions that what he has with natsuyuu is something out of ~fate~ because he already had a cat named nyanko-sensei who he actually named after an anime from the 70s. but at one point a fan pointed out that his cat's name shares the same name as nyanko from natsuyuu. then after that i guess he was involved in a natsume drama cd, and following that he auditioned for the anime because he was really fond of the series by that point :')

[c-h-stevens]

I should really let this post pass me by but it's still circulating and it's such blatant anti-intellectualism and Noble Savage nonsense, I want to say something before this hellsite starts claiming it's a myth that indigenous Americans ever practiced human sacrifice or something.

OP's paragraph first:

Agamemnon and Iphigenia, as depicted by Homer, Euripides, et al, are fictional characters. There's no evidence of them ever existing. Academics consider them tragic because they were portrayed as such in the, y'know, tragedies people wrote about them.

Basing off your opinions of Ancient Greece society on Homer, Euripides, et al is like forming an opinion on contemporary USA by watching Game of Thrones. No serious historian has attempted it since the 19th century at the very least.

There's no proof of Ancient Greeks consistently engaging in human sacrifice, certainly not in a scale comparable to that of the Aztec empire. There is apparently some evidence of it in the Archaic era (note: article is unavailable till September 2024). More evidence of early human sacrifice. An overview of the skepticism about Ancient Greek human sacrifice.

If you want to criticize Ancient Greeks, you can easily point to the slave owning, the misogyny, etc. No need to reach for the barely there human sacrifice.

The Aztec empire didn't "engage in the exact same thing". The fictional Agamemnon was a single warlord who sacrificed his daughter as an exceptional act to atone for his own actions, and he ends up murdered. The Aztec empire built a whole war machinery to procure prisoners for sacrifice. This is very widely attested. (Again, you could make a comparison with Ancient Greek slavery, which was also a huge industry. But that would require knowing what you speak of.)

"White historians" aren't the ones who created the stereotype of the "violent savage" Aztecs. The Spaniards who invaded and genocided them did. Y'know, for the purpose of invading and genociding them. This can be easily verified by looking at contemporary chronicles, such as those by Bartolomé de las Casas, a Spaniard who was critical of the whole thing.

I know this is barely above a shitpost, but the assertion that "white historians" (not even naming any names!) "erased the Aztecs from human history" is some ancient aliens tier bullshit, only pointed at the other side. And even if they had attempted that, they couldn't have done a very good job out of it, could they? Seeing how we're talking about the Aztecs right now and all.

I suppose it's good that OP clarified "white" historians instead of just assuming all academics are old white cishet men pompously puffing on their pipes, but the implication seems to be that there's no non-white historians to turn back the tide, and that's simply wrong. I admit I'm not very well informed on the subject, but I can mention Dan-el Padilla Peralta in the Classics field. Romans instead of Greeks though. If that's not your thing, you can read his memoir, Undocumented. I think it's better to promote marginalized historians than continuing to push this anti-intellectual Dan Brown-wannabe conspiratorial nonsense.

I had to reblog from someone else as OP deleted and I might as well pick on someone who deserves it, so here are my comments on the reply:

A sacrifice every 15 minutes on average for the duration of 4 days. Read your own link. That's 384 sacrifices, perfectly manageable with enough manpower, which the Aztecs had.

Yes, the accounts by conquistadors weren't devoid of propaganda, as I pointed out. That doesn't change the fact that the Aztecs engaged in human sacrifice in mass scale, to the tune of several hundred victims per archeological site. More rarely these included women and children. We've found the literal physical remains of these people. Trying to brush them aside as "but they weren't that many" is grotesque.

Why didn't the common Aztec folk revolt in the streets against human sacrifice? Because those sacrificed were overwhelmingly war prisoners, as is widely attested and very well known. Nobody was picking random people off the streets to act as human sacrifices! There's also evidence (referenced in that Wikipedia article seewetter linked, proving they didn't even bother reading it) of human sacrifice being concurrent with natural disasters such as droughts, meaning people were more desperate and less likely to care about the lives of complete strangers.

The entirety of the European population might not have approved of everything the Catholic Church did (I mean, Henry VIII and Martin Luther existed, for starters) but the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc. still happened. Is seewetter going to argue against the death count in those, too? Just for the sake of consistency.

How Human Sacrifice Propped Up the Social Order

I hate seewetter's smug icon now.

It figures seewetter also buys into the whole "European Pagans were violently persecuted by the evil Church!" nonsense. In reality, European polytheists either converted out of their own volition or persecuted Christians right back before eventually converting. I'm not providing any sources because this is too wide a subject and also because if you, unlike seewetter, read that second Wikipedia link, will see that those Pagan rebellions happened before conversion settled in for good.

Peasant uprisings do not belong on that list. Those peasants disagreed with the behavior of their own feudal lords, but it'd be a huge stretch to cast them as nonconformists or religious dissenters or whatever.

As I mentioned, none of the actual religious dissenters were out protesting the Crusades on the streets. So why would anybody jump to the entirely unfounded assumption of Aztec dissenters disapproving of human sacrifice? And I have to point out that, even if they disapproved, they don't seem to have done anything to stop it.

The human sacrifices (literally thousands of them) remain an unchanged fact. Whatever the average Aztec person may or may not have thought makes no difference on that particular matter. Trying to argue human sacrifice was not an accepted fact of Aztec life is just absurd.

My laptop hates me now.

There's a decent point buried in there about the Aztec empire always being boiled down to "scary human sacrifice!!!" as if they were the only empire in history that ever commited atrocities, but the point would be better made by discussing the other things they did and not by making cartoonishly racist white historians to be mad at. There's also a difference between critiquing the actual bigotry to be found in academia and acting as if historians think Agamemnon was a real person.

white historians will learn about the ancient greeks practicing human sacrifice and agamemnon sacrificing his own daughter iphigenia to please the gods in the iliad and go 'oh how tragic!' but still think the culture and people have value, and then hear about the aztecs engaging in the exact same thing and go 'those are savage cruel subhumans whose culture us foreign and mysterious and scary' and erase mesoamerican societies from human history/ entirely ignore them as though they have no value, like at least keep your supposed ethical stances consistent

imagine sitting in the bedroom of your boyfriend, dylan klebold. he had left the room and video gaming battle to get the two of you a drink, but he’d taken a lot longer than you expected. you sighed and stared at the blank tv screen, waiting for the moment that he would return and the two of you could resume your game. it seemed like he would never be back, when a pair of arms caught you by surprise. dylan wrapped his arms around you and crawled into the bed. he pulled your body into his lap and placed his lips on your neck. you whined as he began to leave kisses down the delicate skin. you shut your eyes and he pulled you back so that you lay on his chest. your eyes didn’t open again, and you drifted into a deep sleep, hoping that you would never have to leave the safety of dylan’s arms. suddenly, you died. the end.

🐉 Welcome to Zenkai-Icons! 🐉

What is this blog?

An attempt to gather all existing RP icon packs for Dragon Ball ( Z / GT / Super / etc... ) characters in one place for easy browsing & archival purposes. Tumblr's search system is often unreliable and it's easy for pre-existing resources to get lost over time. Icons, while often simple to make, can take hours to create, and so I'd prefer to save as many folks' time as possible by hoarding them all in one ( hopefully ) easy-to-navigate place.

Do you make icons, and do you take requests?

I do make icons sometimes! All icons I make will be tagged with #My Icons, including those I bring over from my other resource blog.

I will take requests at my discretion, and without any guarantee I'll fulfill them. I will only create unedited, 100x100px manga icons, as I find capping animation tedious. This also means I'm limited to whatever manga I have access to. If I can't find decent scans for the source, then we're both out of luck. Sorry!

I also made a tutorial showing off some time-saving tricks I use in my program of choice, Krita, for both making and editing icons. You can read that here!

Hey! This set of icons you reblogged is unavailable / these links don't work!

I check and make sure each pack I reblog is still available, even if the OP has deactivated or disappeared. Some file hosting services do not last forever, unfortunately. If you see an icon pack that's no longer available, please message me so I can remove it.

I've made icon sets on this blog, and I don't want them here!

No problem! Just shoot me a message and I'll remove my reblog.

Please remember to check the usage terms of the original uploaders! Credit with respect!

Thank you to everyone who spent hours of their time capping & cropping anime/manga so we could have fun pictures to go along with play-pretend on the internet! It's greatly appreciated. 💚

DSMP Anniversary Recap: THE DISC WAR

 Chaos breaks out across the server after Sapnap burns Ponk’s Lemon Tree…

The server’s first all-out civil war.

---

VOD LINKS:

Tubbo

Purpled

Ponk [unavailable]

Tommyinnit

Punz [unavailable]

Sapnap

---

Late the previous night, Sapnap came online and set Ponk’s Lemon Tree on fire.

The day starts when Tubbo logs onto the server.

---

- The previous stream, Tubbo lost all his belongings. Chat tells him to check Ponk’s tree and Tubbo runs over

- As he approaches the second Lemon Tree, he sees that it’s on fire. Tubbo quickly towers up to try and put it out. He thinks that it’s his fault and worries that he’ll get blamed for this, as he’s the only one on the server at the moment

- Tubbo tries his best, but by the time the fire is out, the tree is in ruins. He learns that Sapnap is responsible. Tubbo goes back to his house to get wood to patch the tree up. He rebuilds the broken section of the tree 

- While he’s out gathering logs, he notices a little chick following him

Tubbo: “Oh my god, I’m gonna name you Benson! You look like a Benson.”

- He throws a couple eggs at the chick to try and get it to walk after him and one of the eggs hatches into a second chick. Now there are two Bensons

- Tubbo does his best to continue fixing the tree. Ponk logs on. Tubbo tells him he is sorry about the tree. Ponk logs off. Some time later, while Tubbo is mining, Ponk logs back on

Ponk: someone is gonna pay for this

- Tubbo tells him he tried his best. Ponk tells him to save it for court. He says he’s gathering evidence, then logs back off again

- Afterwards, Tubbo goes back to the forest with some leads to retrieve the Bensons. He picks one of the Bensons to gift to Punz and brings the other one back to his house

- Tubbo works on building and Purpled logs on. Purpled wanders around the SMP, trying to find his way around the server. He goes up the path to Tommy’s house and wonders where to set up his own house

- Ponk logs on again, and this time Alyssa does as well

- Purpled runs into Alyssa by her house while riding a llama. He joins VC with Tubbo, who fills him in about Sapnap stealing Tommy’s Netherite and setting Ponk’s tree on fire

- Alyssa tells Tubbo he owes her a diamond. Tubbo goes to her house to talk. Meanwhile, Sapnap logs on with murder on his mind. Tommy left signs at Alyssa’s house framing Tubbo for taking a diamond. Tubbo proves it wasn’t him by getting his first diamond achievement

- Ponk is scared to find that Sapnap has OP gear and asks Alyssa to lend him her horse. Sapnap says he will kill her. As Sapnap chases Ponk, armored with Tommy’s Netherite and diamond armor, Ponk asks Tubbo to help him

- Sapnap asks Ponk to apologize, but Ponk doesn’t want to after Sapnap burned his tree. Ponk borrows Alyssa’s horse. Alyssa protests because Sapnap might kill it, but Ponk says Sapnap wouldn’t

- Sapnap comes over and tells them that this is his and Alyssa’s house. He tells Ponk to defend his tree and runs back down the path

- Sapnap kills Alyssa’s horse and then Ponk. Tubbo wonders if this is a common occurrence. Sapnap says he won’t burn down the house, but that Ponk challenged him

- Tommy joins VC as they reach the tree. Sapnap tells Tubbo to choose wisely

Sapnap: you have all brought fighting to a once peaceful land

Sapnap: I am the law.

- Tommy says he’ll get on later. Ponk and Tubbo both need his assistance. Tubbo wonders if he and Ponk can make their own court to take Sapnap to trial

Ponk: “Right, look. We have to do a reverse of the revolution in America, right? We need to -- the English must take over the server again, okay? And make it British.”

- Sapnap whispers to Tubbo that Tubbo must be on his side. Tubbo, Ponk and Alyssa find Sapnap’s house. Sapnap kicks them out 

- Alyssa asks where her horse went. Sapnap tells her Ponk led it to its death. Sapnap has Ponk’s pickaxe and tells him to say sorry to stop the fighting. Ponk says sorry

- Alyssa sets Sapnap��s house on fire

Tubbo: “Oh my god, is nothing sacred on this server?!”

- Sapnap tells her to say goodbye to her house and he kills Ponk. Tubbo frantically tries to put out Sapnap’s house

Sapnap: an eye for an eye

Sapnap: I am a fair man

- The only way Sapnap won’t destroy Alyssa’s house is if Tubbo builds him a new one. Tubbo tells them off for burning each other’s things. He doesn’t want his own house burnt down

Tubbo: “If I’m on everyone’s good side, then hopefully they won’t break my crap.”

- He rebuilds Sapnap’s house

- Sapnap says he only killed in self-defense after he was attacked. Alyssa drowns. Punz logs on, confused at what’s going on. He decides to pick “the side of justice”

- Sapnap pays Tubbo for fixing his house, thankful. Tubbo leaves and finds Alyssa at his house. Tubbo tells them the house is his

- Ponk and Sapnap come to Tubbo’s house and Sapnap murders Benson. Alyssa gives Tubbo a poppy for his loss. Sapnap and Tubbo declare every chicken Benson. Then Sapnap kills another as Punz comes over

- Sapnap logs off and Ponk eggs the top of Tubbo’s house

Ponk: “That’s for picking sides, Tubbo.”

Tubbo: “I didn’t pick sides!”

Ponk: “For not picking a side at all. Exactly.”

- Punz joins the call and Tubbo says they can be the side of justice together. A fight breaks out between Punz and Ponk. Tubbo and Alyssa join in and Sapnap logs back on

Sapnap: ARE YOU THREATENING MY PUNZ

- Sapnap kills Ponk again. Purpled now has a pet dog with a purple collar named “DogChamp”

- Tubbo plays the ukelele. Sapnap asks him to sing a song, and Tubbo sings “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while Sapnap dances along

- Fundy logs on and Sapnap leaves. Things are calm again

- Tommy logs on to find that his house has been damaged and is enraged. Punz whispers to him that he saved it from fire. Tommy’s chestplate is gone and he demands to know who did it

- Sapnap logs on and whispers to Tommy that he is only borrowing the Netherite, and “do not fear my friend.” He joins the call and says that he will return Tommy’s things under one condition: Tommy must join his cause

- Tommy walks down the path looking for Sapnap and kills Alyssa along the way. Sapnap speaks with Tommy at the Courthouse

Sapnap: "The civil war is about to break out.”

- Tommy orders Sapnap to give him back the chestplate, as Wilbur helped him with it. Sapnap gives him the chestplate

Sapnap: “Look...We can be the most powerful on the realm, alright? I need you to be on my side, have my back no matter what.”

- Sapnap tells Tommy that his house was vandalized, so he vandalized the vandal’s house back

Tommy: “Who was it?”

Sapnap: “Your arch-nemesis.”

Tommy: “Ponk!”

Sapnap: “Your arch-nemesis, yes.”

- Sapnap explains what happened today, and how his house was burned down. When Tommy learns about Alyssa’s involvement, he decides it’s time for revenge and starts making his way back down the path

- As they walk to Tommy’s place, Sapnap tells Tommy about how he burned down the Lemon Tree

Tommy: “Sapnap, why would you do that?! That’s his prized possession. That’s like if you burnt my music discs!”

- Tommy asks Sapnap why he burnt down Tommy’s house and Sapnap says to just look past that. War is being waged, and he wants Tommy as his ally.

- Meanwhile, Punz tells Tubbo that there is danger approaching, and that Ponk and Tommy are about to duel. They call Ponk, but Ponk hasn’t heard about a duel

- Tommy sees Punz and Tubbo approach the front door and goes to speak with them. Tommy tells them he’s trying to work out who’s the good guy. Alyssa tells Tommy she heard Tommy stole one of her diamonds, and Tommy immediately goes back to Sapnap’s call

- Tubbo leaves them to go back to building his house, feeling like he’s been the good guy today, rebuilding everything. Everyone else is just burning down houses

- Tommy and Sapnap kick Punz out of the house. Sapnap hands Tommy a Swiftness potion, telling him to “run like the wind.” Tommy is confused

- Sapnap goes outside and sits on the bench

Sapnap: “I’m looking at the starlight, Tommy. Beside this bench...This once was a peaceful nation, Tommy.”

...

Sapnap: “Tommy, you’re free to do whatever you want. I will not attack you unless you join their side. If you join their side, then I’ll be forced to fight you in battle. But I think you know what you need to do. I think you know what team you need to choose, and I think you’ll choose wisely. But Tommy...I’m off into the night. Goodbye for now.”

- Sapnap leaps from the bench and runs off mysteriously into the wilderness

- Tommy is more confused now. He still has the Able Sisters Theme playing in the background. But he has a decision to make, and he weighs his options:

Either join Sapnap, whom he despises, join the woman, or join Punz. Yesterday, Tubbo set him on fire and he lost all his things, so he doesn’t want to join Tubbo. Fundy is a furry and Purpled plays Bedwars. Wilbur is busy streaming, but he did get whitelisted and could join the server if he wanted to

- Tommy calls Tubbo asking about his old username. Ponk and Alyssa come walking down the path to his house and Alyssa sets him on fire before they walk away. Infuriated, Tommy goes and tells Sapnap he’s chosen Sapnap’s side and that they need to show Alyssa who’s boss

Tommy: “I’ve chosen so wisely. Maybe not, but still. As long as no one touches my music discs, we’re in the clear.”

- Tommy walks outside and comes face to face with Ponk and Alyssa. They attack, and Tommy runs before getting killed by Alyssa. Sapnap goes to avenge him while Tommy demands his things back. Ponk says he chose the wrong side, and Sapnap kills Alyssa

- Ponk gives Tommy back the Netherite chestplate. Tommy meets back up with Sapnap and gets his items back. Ponk towers up and Tommy shoots at him with a crossbow and misses

Tommy: “I had one shot. Oh actually no, I have multiple shots. I am like Alexander Hamilton!”

- Dream logs on. Ponk and Alyssa both call for his help as Tommy keeps shooting. Ponk falls and dies

- Sapnap congratulates Tommy on his kill. Tommy is eager to kill more people while they’re at it, and Sapnap suggests they kill Dream. Tommy agrees

- Dream is on the path by Tommy’s house in iron armor. Tommy and Sapnap easily kill him

Sapnap: THIS IS OUR LAND

Sapnap: NOONE CAN TAKE US

Sapnap: WE OWN THIS REALM

Tubbo: can I have some?

Sapnap: YOU SHALL PAY US DIAMONDS

- Tommy is disappointed that he didn’t get the killing blow and goes to kill Dream again. Dream is waiting there on the path and he asks for his items back. Tommy starts chasing him down

- Tommy thanks Wilbur for raiding him with 5,000 viewers!

- They chase after Dream. Tommy kills Alyssa and says that if Wilbur ever joins, he and Sapnap can take him under their wing and teach him PvP. They also decide to take Tubbo in as well as the builder of their new kingdom

- Ponk, Punz and Dream come running down the path. Sapnap kills Dream and Ponk. Punz attacks Tubbo and Tubbo is angry. Tommy kills Punz. The one remaining is Alyssa

- Tommy adds Tubbo to the VC. He decides to join them. Tommy spots and chases Dream down again until Dream logs out outside Tubbo’s house

Tommy: “Sapnap, it looks as though we’ve won.”

Tubbo: “I don’t think anyone’s won. You’ve burnt down most of the stuff on the server!”

Tommy: “Other -- don’t phrase it like that. Sapnap -- you know what? Hey, Tubbo, maybe you should --” (he kicks Tubbo from the call)

- Tubbo is not on their side. Dream logs back in and Tommy kills him

Dream: you have made an enemy

- Tommy declares himself now the killer of Technoblade, Timedeo and Dream. They join the general VC and start talking with Punz, Ponk and Alyssa when another message appears in chat:

Dream: I have the music discs

Dream: and I’m going to burn them

Dream: unless my stuff is returned

- Tommy freaks out and runs back to his house. Alyssa and Ponk ask for their stuff back. The discs are gone from the chest, and Punz kills Tommy. Dream arrives at Tommy’s house, now in iron armor, and kills Tommy too. Then Sapnap kills Dream. And Ponk

- Tommy asks Dream where the discs are. He speaks with Sapnap and they go to find Punz to get Tommy’s things. Tommy is angry with Sapnap for bringing him into the conflict, but they’re too far in to turn on each other

- Sapnap tells Tommy they may have to leave the main area for a while, as they’re outnumbered by their enemies. They reach the Community House, but Dream soon arrives and kills Tommy, who respawns and immediately kills Alyssa

- Tommy makes it back to the Community House. Sapnap tells him it’s time for them to blow up all the houses and burn them, but Tommy disagrees

Dream: okay

Dream: no more killing

- Sapnap immediately kills Alyssa and then gets killed by Tubbo

- They head to courthouse, Sapnap and Tommy now facing down Dream, Alyssa, Tubbo and Ponk. Sapnap whispers plans to Tommy about how to kill them. Sapnap shouts at Tommy to run, but it doesn’t work and both die

- Tommy and Dream shout at each other angrily in a call. Dream is furious at Sapnap and Tommy for jumping him out of nowhere while he was walking down the path. Sapnap tells him they thought he was on their enemy’s side

Dream: “You guys are acting like I’m an idiot, I was watching the stream! You guys both shouted ‘LET’S KILL DREAM! LET’S KILL DREAM!’ and you guys ran at me!”

Tommy: “Tommyinnit is not an idiot, I’m the furthest thing from an idiot, I’m--”

Sapnap: “Dream, you don’t understand the TYRANNY that’s going down on these lands! And you are not helping the tyranny!”

- Tommy tells Dream they should trade, offering to work for him. Dream requests an apology instead. Tommy turns around and walks away back to the Community House

- Sapnap threatens to burn it to the ground, but Dream in turn threatens to ban him for a week. Tommy tells Sapnap to calm down

Tommy: “Sapnap, you’re clearly in the wrong!”

Sapnap: “Let me explain this whole story -- I’m not in the wrong. We’re not in the wrong, Tommy. We’re not in the wrong.”

- Dream kills Sapnap and tells them his view of the story, which is that the two chased and killed him when he had no armor. Tommy starts talking. Surrounded by everyone staring at him, he feels like this is similar to another SMP he was on...

Tommy: “Hello Te -- Dream.”

- Tommy explains that Sapnap was in a conflict with someone else before, and tells Dream that he doesn’t think Sapnap is entirely right. Dream says he’ll give back Tommy’s things, but burn the discs for the crime. While Dream is distracted by Tommy, Sapnap runs away behind them

God joined the game.

Tubbo: em

God: Give me the discs.

- Tommy tells Dream he can put Dream’s name in his YouTube title instead

Dream: “All I know is you have committed a crime, and now -- even though I was not gonna choose a side, I was forced to choose the side of these people.”

- Sapnap dies to a Piglin in the Nether and Punz gets annoyed at Dream for calling him ‘these people,’ so Dream goes on to say that Punz saved him. They start arguing over who attacked who and Punz kills Sapnap

- Sapnap calls them vermin and says he’ll see Dream in MCC...They are on the same team. Sapnap and Tommy start bickering with each other

- Tommy starts leading the group back to his house. Dream kills Tommy for calling him “Techno”

- They continue arguing at the bench for a while and start negotiating a deal. Sapnap apologizes to Dream and Dream accepts it, and he gives Sapnap back his things. Tommy gets his chestplate and sword back. Tommy asks for his discs back but Dream refuses

- Dream says Tommy is not trustworthy enough to give the discs yet, but Tommy says he is often known as “Tommy Trusty.” Dream says he will give the discs back when Tommy has earned his trust

- In Tommy’s house, Dream puts an item frame with an enchanted book to remember the day. They leave Tommy with Tubbo and Tommy fills Tubbo in on what happened

- Dream says in that that he’s going to burn the discs when Tommy doesn’t tell the truth, so Tommy starts running back

-Tommy gets chased by three baby zombies. He leads his new army down the path. He tries to get them to attack Tubbo and, while Dream is shooting at the zombies, he kills Tommy

- Dream faces Sapnap at Tubbo’s house. Dream drops a piece of ham labelled “Maxx” and then Mellohi and Sapnap picks Mellohi up, running off

- While Tommy is walking back, Sapnap suddenly shouts that he has a disc and drops it to Tommy, who runs while Sapnap holds Dream off. Tommy reaches his house and goes down into the mines

- Tommy reaches a ravine and hides the disc with his screen blacked out. He turns it back on looking at a pile of granite just as Dream reaches him

- Tubbo picks up the piece of ham labelled “Maxx” and is confused

- Tommy meets up with Sapnap in the ravine while Dream searches for the disc. Dream kills both of them. Tommy comes back down to see Dream digging through the granite

- They keep the fight up for a while until Tommy sees Dream holding a disc in his hand in front of a fire. He tells Tommy to apologize

Tommy: I am sorry if you felt upset by my masculinity

- Dream drops down the disc in front of him and Tommy picks it up and runs until Dream kills him and Sapnap

- The two continue to watch as Dream mines around with thunder booming in the background

- Eventually, they speak with Dream, who is determined to find it. Tommy offers to tell him if Dream gives him the jukebox and the other disc. He whispers to Tubbo that he needs help, to come to the house and bring shields and axes

- Tommy calls Tubbo and Sapnap. With shields and axes and all of them attacking together, they might be able to take Dream. With the three of them no armed, the battle breaks out in the ravine

Tommy: “Why is there so much lightning?”

Tubbo: “It’s pathetic fallacy.”

- All three of them die, but Tommy grabs a bed as he goes back down and they set their spawns at the bottom before retrieving the axes. As they fight, Tommy asks Purpled if he wants to help them

Purpled: (whispering to Tommy) i am switzerland

- They notice gravel at the top of a chamber and break it to make it fall into a blockade with Dream at the top of it. They start getting hits on him and though Tommy dies, Tubbo gets the final hit, killing Dream

- In celebration, Tommy places down the jukebox in the ravine and the three of them listen to Cat together

- Sapnap says they should get out of there before Dream returns 

Tubbo: “I feel like we’ve killed God. God is dead.”

Tommy: “God is dead!”

Tubbo: “And we killed him.”

- Tommy explains how he created the decoy with the granite for the real disc location

- They head back up but Sapnap says Dream is up there, but Tubbo kills him again. Once at the top, Tommy hides the discs again

- While going down to the ravine, Tommy gets shot from Sapnap from above, who says he’s been hired by Dream. Tommy asks him what he’s talking about until Dream comes to Tommy’s house and kills Sapnap and Tommy

- Sapnap says he was just joking. Tommy tells Tubbo to kill Sapnap and Tubbo does. Tommy and Tubbo start running to the roof of Tubbo’s house. Sapnap is angry

- Tommy Ender Pearls out of the attic, leaving Tubbo to be killed by Dream. Tommy runs into the Nether Portal only to discover it was portal-trapped by Tubbo. Sapnap kills Tommy in the trap

- They call Sapnap and he and Tommy argue some more

Sapnap: “I’ve been battling with you all day. You think I’d betray you?”

Tommy: “Uh, yes.”

- Tommy kills Sapnap 

Tubbo: “Dude...why you gotta kill people? Why can’t you just be normal? Why? Why are you like this?”

- Tommy jumps at Tubbo, who immediately kills him. Sapnap asks what their next move is. Tommy says that they got this discs which is what they needed, since the discs are the only things that were irreplacable

- Tubbo says the discs are very replaceable and he was going to make a disc farm...

Tommy: “...AND YOU TOLD ME THIS NOW?!”

- They could’ve avoided a whole lot if Tubbo had said this earlier. As Tommy walks back to the Community House, Ponk comes over and hands Tommy the Sjiba sword

- He, Tubbo and Sapnap meet up in the Nether. Tommy says he won and got an extra music disc

Tubbo: “But I already explained to you how easy they are to get.”

Tommy: “Yeah yeah yeah but have you heard of sentimental value, dickhead?”

Tubbo: “You’re talking about a Minecraft item here. Get out.”

- Sapnap hits Tommy off the hub into the lava and he loses the Sjiba sword, which was George’s. Tubbo says they can always make another

Tommy: “You are a remorseless psychopath, alright? This is not -- You need to understand sentimental value.”

Tubbo: “I do understand sentimental value! And I think it’s a little bit shit.”

Tommy: “Hence my point.”

Tubbo: “Oh.”

- Tommy sees today as a win. Tubbo calls Sapnap “Snapmap”

Sapnap: “Tubbo, I don’t wanna have to kill you.”

Tubbo: “Try me bitch.”

- While he walks back, Tommy runs into Dream, who gives him the Netherite sword and a Netherite chestplate. Dream says he’ll look for the discs and then burn them

Tubbo suggests they make an Ender Chest for the discs: 

A mission for the next day.

deleted user: Here is an example of a Mongolian girl with red hair. [original photo unavailable] Would she make a good example of a Vadan [sic] Dark Eyes, u/mistborn ?

mistborn/Brandon Sanderson: Yes, that's a good example. Though do remember, Vedens aren't all redheads--that's going to depend on region, and even have a lot of variance within regions. (Alethi skin tone will be similar in its variety, depending. Vedens in general tend to be lighter.)

Here's another image I noticed a while back that feels very like what I'd imagined.

[eldritch-muppetshow]

i wanna investigate the rumor that digit supposedly appears in muppetvision 3d. yes i’ve already examined everything that digit appears in and i’m pretty sure no one’s asking about this, but i am looking at this minuscule, potential shred of content like a dog being offered a very small morsel of cheese.

from what i can tell, this rumor originated on the muppet central forum in 2003, in an otherwise fairly down-to-earth post providing some plausible reasons as to why the jim henson company stopped using this character. i will not be linking the user’s profile or showing their username, and i don’t want anyone bothering them over a nearly decade-old post. this rumor has been brought up at least one other time, but overall it doesn’t seem to have caught on.

unfortunately, i can only rely on other people’s recordings of the ride, i don’t have the means to visit muppetvision 3d in person to truly verify/debunk this in person. what doesn’t help is that the 3d effects make things really hard to see when they’re recorded by a camera. but i will say this; after carefully watching a recording of muppetvision 3d and paying close attention to the scene taking place in muppet labs, i can’t see any sign of digit. that’s not to say that i couldn’t have missed something on my viewing, but this (in combination with the fact that i can’t find any mention of this rumor outside of two posts on muppet central) leads me to believe that op was either mistaken, trolling, or just writing some wish-fulfillment.

i do want to take a moment to speculate where this rumor came from in terms of the logic behind it, though. bean bunny and waldo, two other characters from the jim henson hour, are featured prominently in the ride’s story, so i can definitely see the connection there. digit has never (canonically) had any connection to muppet labs, but it does seem like a logical place to put him when muppet central (the location, not the forum) is unavailable. and i admit, being immortalized in a beloved ride the same way as waldo and bean would be a very nice way for digit to go out. but as is? i’m almost certain this isn’t true. and even though i went into this with that mindset, it does kinda make me sad.

Imagine making out with Dylan at a party. His lips and tongue caressing yours, tasting of cigarettes and Dr. Pepper. Soft moans coming out of him as his hands travel along your body, and your hands brushing gently against him to feel his growing erection which he grinds into you. His tall slender body feels warm and perfect in your arms and his masculine nose and jaw rub your face. After several minutes he releases you from the kiss and speaks to you through ragged, flushed breaths. “Bedroom?”
