#to think this restarted with me playing minecraft again

[sunnyfirefoxmc]

I've been spending the past bit of time kinda catching up on some of Grian's videos, so I rewatched a lot of Season 8 and actually finally finished it, and have managed to watch through all of Season 9 pretty quickly.

My thoughts below the read more v

And I don't really know what it is, whether it's the fact I'm finishing it so late at night after a long day (Solar Eclipse Baybeeee) or just how this season kinda went along, but I have maybe 50 minutes left of the last episode of season 9 and I'm crying.

The last minute interactions with some of the other hermits, the memories of earlier episodes (even as someone who was admittedly very far behind), or just how much life and appreciation went into this season for all of the hermits is just hitting something. Seeing Grian talk about the others bases and give them the love they truly deserve is really what makes hermitcraft /hermitcraft/ to me.

I've been doing this while waiting between Season 10 eps as something to keep me grounded in the space bc I tend to burn myself out of things I love pretty quickly, but this helps remind me why I keep coming back. I've been watching Grian since around Season 6 (mostly bc I don't remember if I found him when EVO was coming out or not) and while I do tend to stray away for some time, I always end up right back here. I guess this is just a really long-winded appreciation post from myself for Hermitcraft. I just love this community of creators and fans so much.

can't stop thinkimg about modding games

[royalarchivist]

Tubbo: Like, the only Minecraft I was playing was QSMP! And like, MCC's once a month, but... I don't know if I'm gonna keep playing in MCC, like, obviously I played in Pride, it's for fcking charity, like, I'm not a monster, and– and I guess– [Sighs] I guess it's– [Sighs again] Now these words, you're never gonna– I GUESS IT'S FITTING! I guess it's fitting, I guess that's fine, I guess that's fine! I guess! I guess when Scott Smajor messages me and he's like "We're outta gay fckin' fckass streamers," I'm like, "OK, FINE! Fine, Scott Smajor!" Oh...

Tubbo: Quite literally fck-ass streamers— Nevermind, nevermind— OHHH AND WE'RE GONNA BE RESTARTING THE STREAM! And just like that, we're gonna be restarting the stream! Ayayayayayay... Sometimes not the first thought I think needs to leave- leave my- leave my head, alright, I'll see you in 10 minutes. [He restarts the starting soon screen countdown timer]

sos smp is going great guys (transcript under the cut)

Oli: I was just telling them how- how-

Sausage: Huh?

Oli: I'm not- they were like "Be PG!" and I was like "You watch Sausage and you ask me to be PG?"

Sausage: I am PG, what're you talking about?

Oli: Sausage, I've- we've all seen the salmon.

Sausage: What're you talking about, "the salmon"?

Oli: Why do you think the salmon is funny, Sausage?

Sausage: [overlapping, taking out a noteblock] This guy?

Oli: Yeah, that guy.

Sausage: [placing a salmon head on the noteblock] Why do I think this is funny?

Oli: Yeah.

[Sausage starts hitting the noteblock, it makes the sound of a Minecraft salmon flopping out of water repeatedly. This plays for the rest of the interaction.]

Oli: [overlapping] Yeah, could you explain the co- could you explain the joke?

Sausage: [overlapping] It's a funny n- It's a funny sound! It's a funny sound!

Oli: [overlapping] Yeah, but could you explain why it's funny?

Sausage: [overlapping] It [unintelligable]

Oli: [overlapping] Lovely h- lovely hog behind you, fella. Lovely hog.

Sausage: Oh, yeah, do you have- do you have good cinematography? Do you have a good angle on my booties?

Oli: [overlapping] Oh, I do, I've got you nicely in the background, yeah, yeah.

Sausage: Ok, yes. The reason that I love this sound, Oli, is that it reminds me of my childhood.

Oli: Of your- [music stops] What?

[They both laugh]

Oli: Sorry?

[Music starts again]

Sausage: Yes! Growing up, y'know, I come home from school, I'm like a 13-14 year old boy, coming home from school, watching a little bit of TV in the background-

Oli: [overlapping] TV, yeah.

Sausage: Waiting for my mum to come to pick me up from, uh, from work. Y'know? And I'm- I'm at my grandma's house, I'm just hanging out. Door closed, she's in the other room, just watching her telenovelas, right? Her little Spanish soap operas.

Oli: [overlapping] Of course, of course. Très bien!

Sausage: And I'm just, y'know, in my room, nothing to do. I'm there- Just- I pick up a, uh, like a nice magazine or something, and I just start going through and just looking through it. [Music stops] And- uh- and then- [stuttering] Just one thing leads to another and leads to another and I have to go take a shower that.

Oli: [laughs]

Sausage: And then I go- and I go home.

Oli: [overlapping] Yeah? Cause you spilt your Pepsi. You spilt your Pepsi Max. [Music restarts]

Sausage: I spilt- I spilt my juice, my juice, all over my bed.

Oli: [overlapping] Your juice! Your delicious juice!

Sausage: All over my bed, Oli!

Oli: I can't stop them, chat, you know I can't stop him, chat. You- You've been in his streams! He can't be stopped! I just have to let him run! I just have to let him run his bit until it's too late and then what? Then what? What am I supposed to do? I'm sorry- to- to all of the chats watching. But what am I supposed to do about him? I can't- He's got more subscribers, he gets to choose what happens here. I don't have the power to stop him!

[Sausage is laughing the whole time Oli talks]

➤ REWIND

parings: Mina x Fem!Reader

genre: angst

warnings; break up

summary; a story based on the song 알고 싶지 않아 (REWIND)

note: this is my first ever story;) and i hope you enjoyed it. I might make this into a full story of you and Mina getting back together😻 I love my bias wrecker Mina😍😻😽

-

I don't wanna know how you’re doing. When I look back, it was nothing at all

Looking back at all the fun times you had with Mina hurts. The days when the both of you would play Roblox and Minecraft for hours laughing and giggling over the littlest things now just are memories. It was about 6 months since you and Mina got together and the both of you were inseparable. Your duo was the most loved by the Once’s and everyone loved your relationship especially the other 8 members of TWICE.

I'm doing alright, just like what you said, The dream I've wished for has come true; I’m not curious about you

Today, Mina said that she needed a break from the relationship and it looked like she was happier away from you… It hurt alot but you knew you couldn’t destroy yourself over her. You tried over and over again to contact her but she only said that ‘You’ll be alright Y/n. its alright to be hurt about us but we need space’

I didn't know it would be this simple; Was our break up that easy for you? Now it's all in the past.

You didnt think the two of you would need to ever have a break since you both always talked everything out and you both were happy but to her it wasnt. She had broken up with you and she didn’t really care at all either even after all of the times you reached out to fix things she never responded and broke you so much.

My pretty figure when loved someone so much. I miss you so much

Once has noticed the change in your demeanor every time you went on v-live and someone asked about your relationship with Mina. They said it loon like you wanted to cry and tell them the truth but you knew you couldn’t. And it was all true.. You loved Mina so much and you would do anything for her but it obviously was the same for her.

I don't wanna know how you're doing; When I look back, it was nothing at all

Its been a weeks since the both of you broke up and your members found out you and Mina broke up but Mina wasnt there and they asked you what happened but you didn’t care for her anymore and you just told them that Mina fell out of love and now you could care less about her..

Im doing alright, just like what you said. The dream I've wished for has come true; I'm not curious about you

Its been a month since you’ve broke up and you finally feel a little bit better about yourself since you’ve broken up with Mina and now it was time for the READY TO BE’ World Tour |||| and you knew you would have to act like the 2 of you were in a relationship but you decided not, You did have to interact with her for your duo parts in MOONLIGHT SUNRISE and when Nayeon spun the wheel and your other duo parts in other songs.

Our relationship wasn’t as beautiful as the ones in the movies. It was just the kind of love everyone has. Or did I’ve changed so much? (Yеah)

Maybe your ready to speak to Mina again but you see that shes already texted you. She began to say how sorry she was and asking you in you could restart your friendship even if it doesn’t lead to us getting back together. But you don’t respond; You’re a completely different then you were 2 months ago, your not the girl who lets people back into her life even if they hurt you anymore but even then you look back and think ‘maybe i should give her 1 more chance’

Because of how you're likе that back then. I couldn’t help but to hate you, I endured it like that; You gave me everything

It was so hard to go from loving someone to hating them but that was the best thing to do so; just to save yourself and not fall into a depressing life. Even when you were in a relationship, she gave you everything. All of her attention, love and trust but you guessed it wasn’t enough. The days she wouldnt text you at all or even acknowledge your existence but you didnt realize it till it was too late and she left.

I don't wanna know how you're doing. When I look back, it was nothing at all

Now its been a few weeks since the READY TO BE’ World Tour happened and you were so much happier with being with ONCE but every time you saw a poster with Mi(N/N) it just hit you hard and You just smiled at them and not saying anything about Mina. But you knew that she didnt mean anything anymore since she left you so she obviously didnt care at all.

I'm doing alright, just like what you said. The dream I’ve wished for has come true; I'm not curious

It was encore and it was the Likey dance break and Momo said that you and Mina should do the dance break together and you wanted to break down and cry but Twice and Once began to chant you and Mina’s duo name so that made the both of you walk to the center of the stage and do the dance break. When the dance break finished she held your hand and you felt so happy that she wasn’t giving you the cold shoulder. And she whispered in your ear that shes sorry and she loves you soo much.

I don't wanna know. Ooh-ooh. I'm not curious. Yeah-yeah

You didnt even want to think about what Mina really said to you but when you all said your goodbyes and got off of the stage Mina grabbed your hand and brought the two of you into the bathroom. And she begged for your forgiveness but you couldn’t give it to her after she broke your heart. No yet of course..

I don't wanna know how you're doing. When I look back, it was nothing at all

Its been a few days since you last spoke to Mina and you finally responded to Minas numerous text messages that she was explaining that she was inna bad head space and she didn’t really mean to hurt you. But it was very hard to forgive her after she put you through hell. All the memories you both had were nothing to you.

I'm doing alright, just like what you said. The dream I've wished for has come true; I'm not curious

You went to Jihyo and talked to her about you and Minas problems and she told you that Mina was tell the truth. She also told you about how much Mina cried to her about how she treated you and that she couldnt even look at me without feeling shameful about what she has done. You would of never even though Mina even though that was because how how she looked on the outside. She always looked slightly upset anytime a interviewer asked about you and hows you think of the World Tour. Because she knew that you loved preforming infront of ONCE..

I don't wanna know how you're doing. When I look back, it was nothing at all

But you couldnt take her back this easily, Not when you cried to your therapist about how much she has hurt you and you didnt want to go back down that path. All of the memories you both made in her house, at your favorite stores and many other places just makes you sick. Just maybe. One day you will take Mina back…

More Pacific Drive Ramblings

This game has me by the neck. It's so intriguing in a way I don't often get to experience. I'm not a regular gamer, and it's really easy to put me off from a game if it's either too bright, too busy, or too hard/forgiving for my fumbling hands. I like games that give me a goal, but let me get there at my own pace using whatever path I find works for me. Games that have a life lived within them, have a history, have a past and a future. Games that just are and what that is to me is determined by what I find and how I find it. Where lore is found on the surface, and answers are found deep beneath the earth. I can find those answers if I want them, or I can just play the game and let it be. I can get from point A to B and be done with it.

But I'm already planning on playing more, playing it again. I've made an actual shopping list of the materials I'll need to create and all-electric vehicle. I've imagined myself actually traversing these hellscapes, navigating both on foot and behind the wheel, I've pondered a no-car run since my first minute of playtime, and now, as I'm trying and failing to focus on other tasks that I need to complete, all I can think of is playing again.

TOTK had me pretty bad, but only up until I finished the game, I've hardly touched it since. Stardew Valley has had so many restarts, I couldn't tell you what the original plan for my first farm was if I tried. Minecraft? Forget it. Skyrim? Can't be bothered. Party games? I'm an introvert, parties are a very rare thing.

Pacific Drive makes me want to get out and explore almost as much as it makes me want to run crying back to the relative safety of my vehicle. The environments are beautifully crafted maps of confusing anomalies and debris, chock full of this or that, and brimming with an ambience so unenviably ominous that I feel like I'm back in the woods and all by myself.

My only real, both human AND intelligent, companions are voices on a radio. Voices of people that may not even be real. Voices that could have been recorded a day, a week, ten years ago, or maybe even some unknown future date. Time is weird here. I could be completely alone for all I know.

Alone, defenseless, but nonetheless determined to survive.

[backfromtwitterforw]

Bored so posting about my life don't mind me ^^' On today's episode : Aypierre !

I'm French so I knew about Aypierre before qsmp, he's one of the biggest and most well known minecraft streamer in France I would say, but I never really cared about his streams.

When qsmp started, I didn't watch his pov either, too busy watching Antoine and discovering my new favorite streamer Badboyhalo! So I mischaracterised q!aypierre a lot, thinking he was only playing with Redstone and create while making sex rp with Max (I really had no clue, had I? ^^')

But as time passed, he interacted more and more with my mains, and I liked those interactions. So I became curious. And I actually started watching. And yes, sometimes his humor isn't really for me, but I discovered how caring q!aypierre can be, how deep, depressing and interesting his personal lore is, and how trustworthy and faithful he is to the ones who win his friendship. And right before the prison arc, I was finally really watching and enjoying his character.

So it makes me sad that he feels frustrated about the restart and I understand, he really had some cool projects going on (like most ccs tbh). I heard he might give a chance to the server tomorrow and I really hope he'll enjoy it, because even if he may appear more discreet, his character is still bringing a lot to the server and I'm sure I won't be the only one to miss him if he decides to wait until his builds are available again.

toaferson rant #2

ive been playing this modpack with my friends called solitude of the overworld, which like combines a bunch of those "horror modpacks" and one of them has pissed me off so much

time and time again ill see random letters plastered about which is fine

but herobrine can possess the mobs as well and they all have thheir own powers

skeletons shoot faster, and have the range of a cs:2 player on heroin, when you kill cows, they drop lava, when pigs die they spawn a pigman, and zombies are just more powerful

and its really annoying when im tryin to do some shit and a CHICKEN AT MACH 3 COMES AND KILLS ME AND MY ENTIRE LINEAGE

oh also the mod has a memory leak and every 2 hours i have to restart minecraft because the mod is taking up like 25gb out of 32 and my pc will freeze

it's not a linux thing (God bless the makers of manjaro best distro) i think one of the mods just suck ass so badly that they accidentally added a memory leak

thank you for reading im going to listen to jane eyre now

Chia Jasmine Ivy

chia ⇢ what’s an inside joke you have with someone else?

These are hard to think of on the spot, although I'm sure I've a lot of them. How about an unspoken rule instead.

So, for this example, I'll use Minecraft, but this applies to anything and everything. Deo dies a lot. He'll lose all his fancy supplies, the diamond pickax and armor. The cobalt hammer. Three full squares of food. All the time. We just shrug it off because it's normal now, however... if I die once, he will come to my aid and help me replenish all my shit because otherwise, my mood will destroy everything. I never die. I always mass produce food and supplies and like to dig and build and I'm really good at avoiding fights, so I usually die from sudden creepers, and even that's rare. (We always play on survival. It's too boring otherwise.)

How it applies to other things:

Deo - computer crashes and he loses all his information and games, etc. "Darn. So you're going to be spending the next day or two getting it all back?" Said nonchalantly.

Me - my computer goes to sleep once (which is actually an issue, it doesn't like to wake up and I'll have to restart it.) Deo drops everything and is on standby until I've restarted the computer and confirmed I didn't lose anything or it's not going to be a happy day.

So I guess it's kind of an inside joke. Deo's so used to losing his information or dying, it's not a big thing, but I almost never lose any, ever, so me losing even that one paragraph I just wrote before the laptop went to sleep is such a monumental loss in comparison. I kid you not, the amount of full information restarts Deo has gone through on the regular is unfathomable. He just recovered from one four days ago because he's "mad at Windows". I don't know what this means, I just know it's a minor inconvenience. (Constant, but minor.)

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

An Olsen Twins mystery adventure that I read growing up. It was about as long as a Goosebumps book and I remember really liking it, but even back then it was a guilty pleasure. Now, I don't even remember what it was about and I can only imagine it being stupid and annoying. (Sorry not sorry.) I still have my favorite Goosebumps book though, and actually read that some time in the past 2 years. Just as good as I remember. ^^ (I Am Your Evil Twin by the way, in case you were interested.)

ivy ⇢ what are your ‘tells’ for your emotions and moods? how can someone tell you’re happy, annoyed, upset or tired?

When I'm happy, I'm usually more chatting. When I'm upset, I'm more short and curt because I don't want to talk to anyone. Tired, I'm more likely to ramble or unable to focus on one thing. (So online I'll probably go from chatting to watching something and completely forget I was having a conversation with someone. 😅 Different from avoidance, which I do for almost anything.) Annoyed.... I probably look like I want to talk just so I can agro out for a while, where I just want to raise my voice and talk hatefully about the thing that upset me. That's more extreme annoyance. If I'm just slightly annoyed, I'll probably do whatever I can to deflect whatever's annoying me, either by trying to include someone else into the conversation and then changing the subject and then switching to the other person. (This happens at work when an annoying coworker talks about annoying things. Very easy to "mistakenly" include someone else into the conversation as we're always walking around doing something.)

Thanks for the ask, Hailey.

Ask thing.

[bodylanda]

Woken up in the middle of the night with the most unwell dream?? First one was my partner decided to play minecraft again and asked me to play with him, so i agreed but he wanted to play with a texture pack?? So we restarted and realised i respawned halfway across the world, but whatever we can just find each other again. I make my guy go to bed and he wouldnt go to bed?? And i asked him whats up and then i just see the text chat snitch him out; he was too busy changing all the wolves into borzois.

Second dream was a continuation ?? I think?? Where later on we stopped and were going to bed irl and i fell asleep first. Woke up to him entering the bed and i saw him fucking pixelate and glitch out??? Like in front of me disappearing and turning into smthn familiar but dream me couldnt tell what it was?? I thiught he was turning into a stardew valley sprite but actually he turned into a minecraft player skin. And then he just fuckin vanished like he disappeared.

[codycoyote008]

Interests n such

All stuff I like. My memory is terrible so I've probably forgotten a lot of things, I don't mention things I don't 100% feel like chatting about all the time or frequently enough

Long and rambly, just look at the highlighted bits if you don't care about the talking

Games:

Call of Duty - I've played MW2019 and MWII, I'm hoping to get MWIII and the originals, and the new Black Ops cause it looks neat and what little I did play of one of the other ones my mom has was fun)

Planet Zoo - I play this silly zoo game... SO much

Pokemon - of all types! I have all the mainline 3DS games at the moment, Shield, Scarlet, Legends Arceus, Let's Go Eevee, BD, I just think Pokemon's neat. I grew up on the cards and finally getting to play the games (albeit starting a few years ago haha) is very fun. Hoping to get Black/White or B2W2 if I can find a cheap copy

WolfQuest - again I grew up on Classic for like a really long time actually, I'd replay it over and over again looking for all of the achievements, and one of the first games I got with my PC was Anniversary Edition haha. This wolf game has my heart

Lioden/Wolvden - very new but I'm 16 now (😨) and figured hey this looked cool when I was 15... yoink. and it is.

AFK Journey - Viperian my beloved <3 I mostly joined for the character designs ngl

Animal Jam (Classic + Play Wild) - this game has been in my life for like half of it istg, I quit for a while and rejoined when I got my PC and now I have no space but hey I keep the membership so I can keep my neat lil outfits. Is it silly and a little dumb, yes, but it is thrilling. (Classic is superior)

Minecraft - I got it on PC like a week or two ago and am not over it, on day two I started up an entire AU just to show my appreciation for Endermen (which then swished right into a spinoff for Phantoms). Finally I can use mods...

Dying Light (1 + 2) - I really like these games but also when restarting on another PS4 cause i couldn't use mine for a bit and getting to the forced night chase, my parents laughed at me as i shrieked from the other room for multiple minutes. which was hilarious ngl i was laughing too once the terror wore off. god i hate volatiles

I also have various other games, I like to think I have a wide variety, most can be found on my Steam page.

Artists, Bands, Music:

So many. So so many.

Sleep Token - god I love ST need I say more. All of their songs are great. The style is cool. All of it dude. Their cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody is up there, or Alkaline, and Euclid, Higher is cool, I'll listen to any ST song if you hand it over really

Ghost - they're playing like 2h away from me in 2025 so I'm trying really hard to get better so I can get a job and save up for it lol. it's like $100 per ticket now and I need to get it fast enough to.. actually get it... but hey man. Ghost. (If You Have Ghosts and Cirice are my favorites, I do believe)

I really really like Ferry. PAFL is so cool I'm thrilled to have found it

Florence + The Machine - also super duper cool I cannot get over their music. Howl is always on my mind lemme tell you

Glass Animals - I was an animation meme kid :) I need to listen to their newest album still I haven't had the chance BUT Zaba's probably my favorite. Flip??? dude. Or Golden Antlers that one's good.

Good Kid - they're DMCA free and their music is so good. It's energetic and upbeat, Slingshot is neat, Witches is good, i love how similar most of their music feels to itself. It's very nice to zone out to imo. Good brain fuel

HOZIER!!! I'm a little gay man ofc I'd like Hozier. His music is so good. In The Woods Somewhere, It Will Come Back, Talk, hand me a Hozier song and I am screaming, I go rabid over that stuff man

Lord Huron - I absolutely adore the sound. I'm especially fond of Setting Sun just on vibes, The Ghost on the Shore is good, Lonesome Dreams, ofc Meet Me in the Woods/Love Like Ghosts/The Night We Met, all wonderful

The Crane Wives - I'm runnin out of ways to describe just how much I adore this music man. Coyote Stories is the best (Volta and Nobody are also wonderful songs, Foxtales is great too, honestly they're just great. again)

Modest Mouse - bangers. Dramamine, Cowboy Dan, Coyotes, I forgot the rest but they're all good trust me

Måneskin - last year they were playing Rush nearby and that's what got me into them, but I missed the concert haha. someday

The Neighborhood - Afraid... Crybaby... mwah mwah

Arctic Monkeys - found Arabella from a COD edit of all places and that got me to dig into them. Fluorescent Adolescent is also super good for the record

Waterparks - i always forget about them and then I see them and I'm like "oh my god how did I forget" and I do it again :( Blonde is nice I like Blonde. And Stupid For You. And Numb... and I'll stop there haha

Fall Out Boy - look at me and tell me this wasn't expected. anyways The (Shipped) Gold Standard is neat I really like that one. And Church, Phoenix, Hold Me Tight or Don't, so many more idk man

MCR - self-explanatory, I like S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W and Helena and whatever else I'm so tired

AlicebanD - Fight For Me, Fire With Fire, Wolf, It Gets Better, And So Do I, Red River, Dream of Better Things, go listen to them, please

BILLY IDOL his music is neat dude. I got really into 80s rock a while back and never really fell out and his took up a LOT of my playlists

not a band but I'm learning German and found I picked up some words faster if I heard them in music, so I have an entire little playlist which ranges from Rammstein, OOMPH!, and Pisse, to Dota Kehr (and I would really recommend Dota Kehr's music, I find it so calming ngl, OOMPH! is also neat though lol) It also has König von Garnichts by LUZI and I just really like that song

capping it here but there is SO much more

Other Media:

Warrior Cats - childhood. I love these silly kitty books. Also playing Clangen and Lifegen :)

I've been getting really into horror books. Right now I'm reading Cujo, The Bright Lands by John Fram, multiple from Stephen Graham Jones, i found Mongrels and Never Whistle At Night. Picked up Never Whistle because fun fact I'm native (Lakota and Cherokee) and thought it sounded like a good read, and Mongrels because. Werewolves. I really like both of them so far, actually, Mongrels especially.

I REALLY like horror. It's most of the media I consume. Primarily movies. I'm especially fond of Lost Boys and Predator- I could go on and on about both of them for SO long. Predator especially mwah mwah smooch smooch I WILL fawn over the giant alien and you cannot stop me, they're so cool dude...

also very big on others ofc. the Friday movies, Nightmare, I liked the first Scream I haven't watched the others yet, same for Child's Play, what I have seen of the Alien movies is a lot cooler than I thought I would find it, the list goes on. Some of my favorites are Dark Water and Ringu, of course, but I'm also very fond of Mama just cause it's the first one I watched. Trick r Treat was also good, and 13 Ghosts,

MARVEL I love Marvel dude. Growing up I wasn't huge on it for some reason but I started getting into it mostly because I watched Spiderverse for the animation and fell in love, then I just wanted an excuse to watch the Venom movies (i am. so excited for the new one), but I'm a little weenie who doesn't say what he wants so we started out with Iron Man. and. dear god it was immediate. I was intrigued. I was invested. I didn't expect to like the rich guy of all characters but guess who's still my favorite (in the Avengers series anyways). I also liked the Captain America movies, Falcon is so cool dude

not exactly media, but I make ocs or dumb little fan things for most of the media I like. Is it cringe, yeah a little, but I honestly don't care, cringe culture grosses me out anyways i think it's dumb. it helps me get out the energy when I don't really talk to anyone about it haha

also not one specific media but monsters are so cool man. they always have been, always will be, expect so much monster stuff (so much it's getting its own blog!)

Also also not media but since turning 16 I decided I wanted to get a motorcycle because the idea of being in charge of a multiple-thousand-lbs hunk of fast-moving metal understandably freaks me out, and now that my parents have agreed to it (somehow) I just need to get a job to save up for the gear and bike itself so I can get a license and probably some lessons. Looking at a Duke 390 for now, I've got some other choices but it seems like it would work the best for me haha

if there's anything else check back on this I will update it a lot

[erigold13261]

Dream last night 9/15/2024

It started off for some reason with me and a coworker trying to go to a restaurant, and then me trying to invite another friend, only to find out the restaurant was in a video game and not in dream-irl. Also me and my friend were in my aunt's house instead of my childhood house (which is the usual) or current house.

Anyway, that part of the dream didn't last long, or it transitioned from me laying in bed, because next thing I know I am playing a game.

The game started out in a kind of weird camera angle that you would get from like old Silent Hill games, and honestly the game gave off random 2000s PS2 vibes.

So you start off in this decrepit room with human skin bags hanging off of meat hooks, and you are a bunch of rusted wires that is made into the shape of a human/mannequin. You jump into the human skin bag and fall into a hole it was hanging from and that is what starts the game.

That was like the menu screen I think because next time I see my character I was a fully dressed and realized human who was captured/woke up in this place.

Now what I had to do was try and escape, because I was in a finished basement with someone who was asleep. I didn't know that at first and just went speedrunner mode to try and get to the death screen ending quickly, or to just get to the next level.

But I got stopped when going up the basement stairs and couldn't get out of the locked door, and then I was grabbed by the person I woke up and dragged to a place to be a toy that lives and even when I tried to kill myself on a spike from a tree, I was stopped by the person that I woke up.

I don't know how I ended up dying, so I think I reset the game because there was literally no way for me to progress, escape, kill myself, or do anything that would move the game forward.

So one jump into a meat suit again and I am starting over. This time I am actually taking my time trying to get to the end. I am slowly opening doors, trying to trick animals and rats that are running around or hiding inside the walls, picking up items and big things I could use to hide from under tables.

The one thing I didn't do was look into mirrors and stuff because later I find out that is a necessary thing to learn lore which I need to know otherwise I can't fully progress.

Anyway, I kept having to restart (legitimately) because I would make a mistake, set off an alarm, and not know how to dodge waking up the person so I would die and have to restart because there was no save in this game.

It was literally like that extreme no-hit challenge Soulsbourne run where you have to reset anytime you mess up, except this is for death, not just a hit, and the no-save feature is built into the game instead of something you self impose.

And this is apparently a LONG game. This first level where I am trying to leave a basement is just level one.

So yea, I somehow make it through the basement, I don't know how, it just happened off screen. And now I am trying to get through the next levels.

I don't remember some of the inbetween levels, but once I got to a new like boss level (there was at least 4 to my knowledge, with the basement guy being one of them), it apparently was a level with all 4 of them in the level.

It was trying to get colors to be made, and there were either other players or player NPCs that were in the game because they were also trying to escape without being noticed, except for one of them who was a pet to one of the bosses I think.

At one point we are caught but decide to try and run and lose their aggression rather than start fully over. We make it to the top of the level (which was a giant ass ballroom that looked like a chunk removed from minecraft) that had stairs on the outside of the room, and find out that we are somehow on one of a giant ship.

I don't know if our ship looked like a bigger version of the Titanic, or if the ship I was seeing out the window was the one that looked like the Titanic (or both were).

Well it turns out the outside one was being driven by either my dad (dream dad, not irl dad, they looked nothing alike) or by one of my friends' dad. Either way, I tried to get help from the top of the room which had a control panel and radio.

However, the bosses made their way up there and the one that was the buffest and meanest just walked over, grabbed my arms (almost breaking my arms) and hit something one the control panel that would destroy the ship with my dad/friend's dad.

For some reason I knew I needed them to be alive to win, so after I was let go and the bosses were proposing a deal to let us live to be like pets like that one player/NPC, I just ran past them and jumped off of the ledge down to the bottom of the ballroom/empty chunk.

And I was reset back to the beginning, where I tried to just go about casually to see something since the boss that was from my level seemed the most friendly but still dangerous (made me think a lot about Gamzee in his like high/happy state).

I ended up waking up the boss by accident still, but I was playing it off like I was a figment of his imagination and he was dreaming. Which worked and allowed me to walk around freely finally.

However, because I did this, the game took it as a progression, so while in general time barely moved when lurking around trying to get out of the room, now time moved a bit to the point that the other bosses were coming to hang out on this level with my boss.

Obviously I couldn't pretend I was their dreams as well, but was able to live long enough to get to the outside (which now was a fenced in grassy yard, kind of like a college campus).

Apparently all the NPCs/players I saw helping me in the ballroom were now all pets/servants of the bosses in a similar manner I was (so most likely these were NPCs trying to be a guide/help to me).

Well I tried to run for one of the fences to get over it but the guy who almost broke my arm ended up catching me while I tried to climb.

I ended up waking up irl around this time enough that I couldn't let the dream play itself out anymore. I was starting to influence it and forget things more, so that is where the dream ended.

i think hoyo hates me..i logged in one day and it gave me a stellar reunion, and then the next day it was GONE (T^T) now i have to wait a whole month or smth to get stellar reunion again..

but anyways. my break was good! very unproductive but that’s the usual lol. i did start a minecraft world with my friends a while ago though, so that’s been fun :D (we haven’t played roblox since then though.. </3)

glad to catch up with u after a while ( ◠‿◠ ) i hope you’re excited for senior year!!

—hacker

NOO that’s so sad. honestly it might as well happen to me… i’ll open genshin, abandon it, and then open it again the next update and the stellar reunion will have restarted lmfao.

at least you had a nice break tho!! they’re supposed to be refreshing, not necessarily productive, so at least there’s that. let me know how your minecraft world goes tho :0

one of my friends let me join their world recently but they already have like this big ass castle and one of them built an iron farm so i was really just messing around and building a cute lil house 💀

no but 2020-2021 with covid and all that, and having just started work for the first time and generally having a Bad Time. I hadn't watched Minecraft content in years, and hadn't touched the game for longer.

And then I saw a video about something called L'manburg, and a Minecraft presidential candidate? So I looked into it. My first stream was the first L'manburg explosion, the rebellion. I remember swapping between several streams on my phone. Some names I recognised (Technoblade, Philza), many I didn't. But the experience was electric. And I didn't think about what was going on outside the little block world, I was immersed, happy even.

From then on, knowing that I could watch streams in the evening where people my age and younger were messing around on minecraft for a bit and having fun did help.

And waking up the next morning and Ranboo or someone had done a 5-6 hour stream which I could watch while I was working from home almost felt like company, it made the day easier.

And the storytelling through play felt like I was a young teen again finding out about the Jurassic Craft series (does anyone even know what that was anymore? Cause that was my JAM back in the day) and other Minecraft roleplay series. The people were new, the setting different, the plot beats shifted, but the drama and the friendships and the tragedy of it all felt familiar. Like I was coming home.

Moreso, I didn't join the community really because I wasn't on twitter or tumblr or anything like that much, but I saw all the videos, animations, music, the outpouring of love from everyone who felt the same as me. And so even when streams werent live, I felt like I had so much to see. It was wonderful, still is to an extent as I've very much seen on the dash this morning since Jack's epilogue stream.

I drifted away from dsmp content in 2022 at some point, I don't remember when. I changed jobs, went out more, I guess my interests changed. But I never forgot that feeling of being wrapped in a blanket, watching SAD-ists Technoblade animation for the first time, or seeing the decimation of New L'manburg live, or any of the exile streams in that winter when everything was ramping up story-wise, or Ranboo's lore streams with the quiet acting and well-timed music, or the very first Tales from the SMP, or waiting patiently for Quackitys' cinematic lore streams to start (which to this day i still rewatch regularly, they're amazing and hold up very well on their own imo)

The best gift of all that I got from dsmp was possibly what came after. I got back into Minecraft, both as a game and as a medium for story. I regained a genuine love for the medium, which brought me back to watching Hermitcraft, and then to QSMP, and the Life series, and many more. Which led me to restart my tumblr account, and then here, with my small band of mutuals and the strong sense of community. It's like I found a missing piece, and it started with dsmp.

Was the dsmp perfect? No. Far from it. But did I enjoy it? Absolutely. And I will always carry forward that it was just what I needed to see, at just the right time.

So yeah. Am I happy now? Getting there. Thanks to the dsmp.

help i can feel myself falling into the dsmp void again
