A Pearl and Gem clip that didn’t fully make it into their episodes, taken from Pearl’s stream (I loved this part and just had to save it somewhere)
transcript below!
Gem: I’ve put the rest of the packed ice in here for now, but we can grab it here if we need it.
Pearl: Okay, sounds good.
*moment of silence*
Pearl: Did I just say “sounds good” to you putting items in a random chest?
Gem: Yep.
Pearl: What are you doing to me?
Gem: You’re welcome!
Pearl: *anguished cries*
Gem: I’m loosening you up!
Pearl: That’s not how it’s supposed to work…
Gem: Welcome to the GeminiTay Effect, where we’re unorganised and a little bit insane!
Pearl: Who invited me to this nightmare?! Oh wait, you did.
Gem: You accepted!
Pearl: Ah, gleefully so.
Pearl: I’m currently just tweaking the path shape-o!
Gem: Uh-huh.
Pearl, reading the chat: “Not random, it’s a project chest��, okay, that does make me feel better, I’ll take it.
Gem: If that’s all it takes, I can say that about every—
Pearl: No, you can’t, because it never gets organised!
Gem: *laughing*
Pearl: There’s a difference! There’s a difference—
Gem: I mean… I dunno— There’s not— it’s a fine line!
Pearl: No! No, no no. If you have things messy all season, that’s not the same. A project chest is something you make temporarily, and you organise it after you’re done with that piece. Not the entire mega-base! A piece of the mega-base.
Gem: Mhm…
Pearl: Yeah! You know I’ve got a point!
Gem: No… I dunno…
Pearl: No, no, you know. I know you know. No denying it.
Gem: I love the way you say “no”, I just wanted you to say that more.
Pearl: Oh, it’s because it sounds Australian, is that what that is— Do you want me to say “alright”?
Gem: Yeah, ‘cause it sounds Australian.
Pearl: I know you like the “alright” one.
Gem, in an Australian accent: Alright.
Pearl: Alright, mate.
Pearl: What did you say? Oh jeez…
#mcyt#hermitcraft season 9#pearlescentmoon#geminitay#saved clips#i know some parts of this are in their episodes but this was one of my favourite parts (and it’s important to me to add#Australian accent Gem)#also this was made partly with a very specific audience in mind who I think would enjoy the clip#shiny duo#listen i havent even finished watching the full vod yet i just knew i had to save this clip first#it scratched a very specific part of my brain#i might clip more shiny duo moments from the stream but that’ll depend on if i find any more which i have the energy for#hermitblr

Does anyone with chronic pain know how the fuck you're supposed to cope with working like fast food and retail jobs because I can't take this shit anymore. When I started and was like "hey my feet and leg joints really fucking hurt after 5 hours of work" everyone was like "it'll get better you'll get used to it" IT GOT WORSE even 3 hours absolutely kills my joints even my shoulders are fucked now. I'll have like 3 days in a row where I have 5 hour shifts, not even like 8+ hours, and the time where I'm not getting to and from work or working is just spent in bed in pain and then I have to spend a day after to recover. Yesterday on my 3rd day of work I was in so much pain it triggered a migraine and I spent most of my shift with fucked up vision, being dizzy as fuck, and being 2 seconds away from vomiting I was in so much pain.
I'm only 19 I've only been working for 3 years how the fuck and I supposed to deal with this when it keeps getting worse. This ain't even touching on the hell that is being autistic and working in these environments, the chronic pain alone is enough to take me the fuck out.
#currently working 2 jobs for context#at kfc and at what is basically the australian dollar store#the retail job pisses me off specifically because I work on the reg why the fuck cant I sit whilst just scanning and bagging shit ????#ntm its so fucking hard to get a job in the first place like ive had 3 jobs one i got fired after i stopped showing up#because i was having insane panic attacks because the place sucked so fucking bad#and ive had the kfc job for the full 3 years#cant even go to a doctor about my problems because im too fucking broke

Insane question: Do y'all know any derogatory ways to refer to a redhead that isn't every single endearment for a redhead?"
#Ranga is the best ive got.#Implying Armel is inexplicably Australian is Extremely funny but there Has to be a better one#Also dear god why is every endearment for a red head the cringiest thing ever yall are In The Trenches with this shit#context if its relevant: the human guy in that last post is a ginger. The other guy is his ex who refuses to stop calling him pet names#but who is also critically incapable of showing affection in a direct way#you can look at him and see why i find giving him a specific country of origin is so funny. His face has all of its skin not on it and#also hes from fucking Brisbane

hiiii! have you considered releasing tradewinds as a single purchase through a site like gumroad?
Hi anon!
So the reason Tradewinds was shelved and not published like 8 years ago, is because I couldn't find an Aboriginal sensitivity reader willing to read m/m with disturbing themes. I had sensitivity readers for the other side of things (like Matan and his heritage), but I kept either not finding anyone, or the one person I found took my $200 USD deposit and vanished and never spoke to me / responded to any of my emails.
As a result, I was uncomfortable distributing it anywhere broadly, even though I was relatively confident the novel isn't offensive, because I just don't know 100%.
I am a lot more confident releasing it via subscription as an exclusive novel, because the people who pay for subscription are often folks who are a) already used to my style of writing and b) generally know what to expect from me, vs. cold audiences who don't. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't realise that Tradewinds would make a great exclusive/paywalled release for subscription, because it means it's only ever going to find a very narrow bandwidth of readers.
Basically if I could release it for single purchase - as basically an ebook - I would have released it like 8 years ago, anon. And the reason I have actually released it this specific way is down to the fact that I'm just not really confident offering it for broader distribution.
That might change one day, if I happen to stumble across a sensitivity reader who is okay with my style of writing, who is reputable + has references (i.e. so I know I won't lose a fair chunk of money in the process, because that burned me pretty badly, not gonna lie). But until then, having Tradewinds be limited is the only way I'm comfortable releasing it at all.
Folks are more than welcome to sign up for one month, download the book (and read any other early access they want) and then leave. They can even just put 'I only wanted one thing and now I have it' in the exit survey so I know what they were there for if they want. Then it's still a single purchase (with some early access extras), and they still access the downloadable file. :)
#asks and answers#tradewinds#merchantverse#tradewinds was shelved not because i think it's a bad book#but because i wasn't comfortable going to broad distribution without a very specific kind of sensitivity reader#it was actually meant to be the series i started publishing with#long before perth shifters existed#and then i realised that through writing a highly diverse cast#i might have actually really hurt the future of the series#and had to shelve the whole thing and all the worldbuilding#i really don't regret tradewinds at all#i like the book and i love the characters#but yeah it was complicated#what i thought would be an 'easy' problem to solve was really difficult in part because#'sensitivity readers' is a very USA concept and certainly was back then#and a lot of the folks i enquired with who did offer sensitivity reading on Aboriginal Australian matters#didn't read m/m or didn't want to read anything problematic / with any disturbing themes#which i can understand#but literally reduced my pool to '0 plus that one person who took $200 USD from me at a time when i had to skip medical appts because of it#i'm sure it would be better now#but i'm also happy to offer a novel to folks who sign up to the patreon / ream account#since that is my main and primary income

what’s a fun fact about you that people may not guess
i am not anyone's idea of athletic. however since my social circle is like 90% other honors student orchestra losers, i technically qualify as a jock given that i have six years of experience playing field hockey
#i was a goalie though. jysk. lest you think i was actually running around like a fit person or something#sasha answers#infinitelytheheartexpands#i wasn't bad at it actually. though my 12th grade season was squandered by my fucking coach who never let me in varsity games#my team was shit and my teammates hated me. i don't think i ever had an unqualified Great experience playing with them.#by some miracle though i came out of it all actually enjoying field hockey as a sport#both as a player and a spectator#and to this day it's the only sport i've willingly gone to see professional matches of#and will actively sit down and watch the olympic matches of#though they don't often get broadcast here because field hockey in the us is not taken seriously and our teams rarely make the olympics lol#so if i want to watch i'd have to stream it online at odd times. like a netherlands or australian match or something#though the upside of the sport being kind of small in this country outside of specific regions (like where i grew up)#means that going to see literally the us national team play on their home turf is great. the crowd is modest it's not cramped or too loud#lots of fun. too bad they moved their home base though and are no longer in driving distance for us to attend games. oh well#my sister was always way more into field hockey than me. she played in college as a recruited athlete...i just played in high school#mostly cause i had to. but i still somehow enjoy the sport anyway#which i can't really say of any other major team sport#not the ones i've tried to play anyway

when i get annoyed at gerard (e.g. when he writes a song that is good) i start pacing and repeating "jerruhd." in a snippy tone like they're my layabout manchild husband and i'm their nagging bottle-blonde english wife who's one minor traffic incident away from a full-blown screaming meltdown. it think it really helps me process complex emotions while reminding me what's really important (that no matter how badly he wants to be, gerard way is not english)
#i would get crucified like that one guy from the beatles if i said this but gerard sounds stupid in an american accent sjdkfjdd.#but also an english one. probably also in an australian accent lbr emphasised “arr” sounds are just not for english speakers tbh.#unless ur scottish. specifically glaswegian.

jb hug with valentino after laguna '08 my beloved......
#so ride or die for that gremlin it's endearing#word on the street was that casey was one of the riders jb might be interested in working with if valentino made the f1 switch#australian 4 australian yknow#but when valentino stayed? no mercy. jb was more than happy to stick a knife in on his charge's behalf#bring back crew chiefs just saying shit!! i mean admittedly i feel like it was mainly jb but it really added something#three australians on the laguna '08 podium but one is PLAYING FOR THE OTHER TEAM#which btw is 100% why casey had an extra bit of resentment to spare for jb specifically#//#brr brr#i also think what charms me about them specifically is that with a lot of riders. y'know. on-track crimes just kinda happen#but with valentino you know it was often premeditated. like he went into that race with a PLAN and that plan was EVIL#and jb helped him hash it all out. very sweet

and please dreamtonics or any third part synthv dev anyone i am BEGGING you to make more english synths with non-american accents i dont mind the americans but i am GREEDY and i want MORE
#we have that australian one. and i do love maki english's tiny subtleties a lot. and ritchy is really unique in that hes got that like#trilingual cadence. do you understand what im talking about. when someone doesnt really have an 'accent' per se in any of the languages#they speak BUT they have like. subtleties in their enunciation. a clarity? indications that they are very fluent in multiple languages#if that makes sense. i think its a really lovely tone. ritchy and all the rap focused vocals are low key kind of underappreciated#but yeah we dont have a whole lot of english specific vocals with other accents which id like some more#an irish one.......................please............. maybe im so enamoured with a specific vsynth with an irish accent but please....#and it doesnt need to be sv. although very few synths do english well outside of like sv and diffsinger#actually cevios/voisonas english banks are pretty good. but theres only like two and one upcoming rn#although i say all this. i mostly use make my english synths sing in japanese anyway because i LISTEN to a lot of japanese music orz#BUT YOU KNOW.... I WANNA HEAR IT ALL... I WANNA SEE WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH EM....

#i mean this so neutrally i have nothing against f1 actually but it was a bit of a surprise to see the crossover when i joined tennisblr#and i could block the tags but i like having the full experience of my mutuals so its entirely on me for the fact i see so much of it#esp since were in between slams lol not much tennis to post about#but since my sister is also into f1 i am literally getting it from all sides#and now im being jumpscared by oscar piastri on my beautiful tournament instagram pages (reel on queens club acc) and on like.#every new post jannik makes (oscar pls sit tf down lol)#ill admit its also extra jarring that it is oscar specifically bc he is australian (gross) (i am australian) and basically my age (one year#older) (like my friends at school) (basically a peer)#god ill shut up now KEKSJSJSJJSJSJS#sorry 4 yapping but also. not really bc this is tumblr#okay what do i tag this lol#jannik sinner#i guess#do i tag oscar i guess i already named him so itll show up in searches#i come in peace f1blr i promise#congrats if u read all this

Do you ever think about your OC's accents? I know folks often do voice claims for their characters, but if your stuff was being adapted into a format with audio, how would they all sound in relation to each other and in your native language? Would everybody just have the "normal" regional accent for your area (whether that be locally or country-wide), would certain characters be exceptions? How deep down the rabbit hole do you go, and is this a dark, dangerous door for me to have opened? :P
#xellafail#I've been thinking about it a lot for some reason#and while I can't say I have any specific accents chosen for any of my characters#I do know Karra and Sevvie and James would all sound different than the rest of the cast#because they're not from the area it takes place in#(or in James' case the time period it takes place in lol)#Xella-or-whatever-Xella's-replacement-ends-up-being would probably have a 'fake' accent that blends in and a 'real' accent that doesn't#I'm tempted to say that Alex would be given whatever accent seems to be the most 'swoon-worthy' in the states at any given time#so like australian or soft texan or something like that#(what are people swooning over these days idrk)#Sevvie's the only one that has a sort of 'grounded' accent#but even that's kind of up in the air#because I vacillate daily between her being some flavour of British#(because when R made the character she was leaning heavily on BTVS' Spike for it)#and californian#(because her language patterns are heavily californian and also that's where we were at the time)#which is a weird ping ponging in my head but there you go lol#almost all the Hellfyres would have the local accent#Kanos might be SLIGHTLY different due to James' influence but not significantly so#don't even talk to me about my D&D characters tho bc I have absolutely no idea lmao#I think I've been thinking about it because of the new-ish Castlevania series#where everyone's british except for the aztec vampire#even the french folks#also I guess the russian lady#and possibly more characters I haven't run into bc I'm having a real hard time getting through it#but like everyone's from the same place even though they're not!#and it's driving me crazy for some reason#(I think I listened to the og castlevania series in french maybe that'd help here)

Cannot sleep :/
#just pav things#lying awake here with Inigo meta thoughts#specifically the nuances of why he never intervened when Archie and Dism were fighting#He is torn between these two ideas of reality— whether Archie is dead or alive. That is true.#But eventually the latter idea takes more of a foothold; which is just a recipe for mental disarray#It’s a break from the comfortable cycle of self-hatred and destruction. So this new thought has to be counteracted to maintain inertia#So as I understand it he’s now caught on those lingering feelings of abandonment that Archie has left him with. and he is Not Happy.#Because just as he interpreted himself as being a replacement for Dism#He’s interpreting Archie and his little motley crew as a further refusal to move on from the past#And because Inigo acts on impulse (as seen best with the 💥 arm getting blown off) he’s using that momentary anger#to distract himself from the core issue as he lashes out ✨#He’s kind of a hypocrite that one. Stresses the importance of embracing unpleasant memories as a fundamental part of your character#(To the point of berating Idyllia for going the total memory wipe route instead)#but he is ALSO an escapist at heart. Neither of them want their definition of pain so they both have terrible routines to try avoiding it ✌#I’m sorry if this made no sense Dolphin I will probably do a retake with more braincells in the next few days#You know I’ve been analysing the design of this kindergarten in sydney for VCD#It’s called Nubo. Now I’ve always had a fondness for Scandinavian aesthetics but this is PEAK#So I went down a research rabbit hole and I came out of it with a clear concept for what Amonea Montessori School should feel like!#It’s this sort of cross-concept between stereotypical Australian architecture and hygge#Those oak panels and muted colours and glass everywhere#And I can carry through to an overall unique visual identity for Amonea#After all Byrgir should feel similarly detached from Earth in it’s own subtle ways#Tapping more into solarpunk and that overall comforting feeling for Amonea in particular~#I’m so happy :D
